Mar Department,
Richmond, Va, Apru %, lo64.
His EEcclLeacy, Z b. VANCE,
G00ernor Of North Carolina,
Raleigh, n. c.:
SIR:-I have received your letter of the 18th
inst. calling attention to the Importance of suspend
ing the execution Of the cOnscrIpt law in the noun.
tam counties of Western North. Carolina
In reply, have the honor to say that grave doubt
is entertained by the Department of the expediency
of such apparent yielding to the dsafected classes
which are said by your Excellency to exist in those
districts, and in this view the President to whom
your communication was submitted, concurs. 1t is
hoped that the organization of the Reserve Forces
will, when brought into unity of action with the
active army, give Defence and without interfering
with agricultural pursuits, afford source of Sc.
curity.
Very respectfully,
Your obedIent servant
JAMES A. seldom,
Secretary Of Var.
Did Gov Vance in his foregoing letter intend to
charge the people of Western North Carolina with
being eli" tories and deSerfers?" This seems from
the reply Of the Secretary of War; to have been his
understanding For he says in his letter that he
cannot yield to such a request coming from the
"disattected classes which are said by tie GOvernor
to exist in chose districts" Was this not strange
way loT TIC NofeTpor 10 go ABOUT getting SuSpen-
sion of CONSUMPTION in Western North Carolina by
telling the Secretary of War that that country was
'.tiLted With tories and deserters?"
But ii he only meant to charge that the country
was flied with torres and deserIers from East Ten
ressee then why permit the Secretary OF War to re-
main under that erroneous impression Why did
he not Immediately write and explain the matter
and inform the Secretary of War that he meant the
country was filled by tories and deserters from Ten
neSSee, If such was the fact 7
But he wrote no answer of explanation, and thus
left the impression the mind of the Secretary of
War that Western North Carolina was "JiLLed Nth
tories and deserterS"
No wonder We got no suspension of the conscript
law!
Gov Brown, of Georgia, did not act in this way
He denaIndsd the exemption from consumption of
Some dozen counties in Georgia, where there was
the fewest slaves, 0hOugh more than in Western
North Carolina and the exemption was granted,
and these counties are said to be now by far the
most prosperous portion of Georgia.
Mark the difference. The one is Gouernor, and
has backbone, and nsrrs and wjU 20 protect his
State from imposition. The other has neither will
nerve or back bone, and seems unconscious of the
responsibilities of the office to the people.

Richmond papers of August II and l2.h
contain the following items of interest:
Mrs. DR.. Mary E Walker, captured in
Georgia upward of five months ago, has
been released from Castle Thunder, and
goes down on flag of truce. She was ex-
changed as surgeon, and has arrived at
Old Point.
The Savannah Republican, in relation to
recent movements in Upper Georgia is joy
full. We hold our position at Atlanta. To
crown the glory of our victory, the famous
General Stoneman, a pet of the Yankees
has been vanquished. He himself and 500
of his officers and men have arrived at Ma
con. This is glorious news enough for a
campaign.
The sudden appearance Of Roddy al
Newman, and his signal victory over the
Yankees at that point, was as much unex-
pected as gratifying. lie is now in Sher-
mans rear with a large and veteran force,
and we snail hear from him again. The

SALT FOR BED BUGs.-A correspo ndent oil
the Clean Advertiser thus presents to the
editor remedy for that kind of vermin so
often found in the beds taken by travellers
On steamboats, and at hotels, as we'll as in
private houses. He says:
If any of our readers need sure rem edy
for bed bugs, they can have mine, and it
cleans the house of this troublesome vermin
without expense. They have only to wash
with salt and water, filling the cracks where
they frequent with salt, and you may look
in vain for them. Salt seems inimical to
bed bugs, and they will not trail through it.
1 think it preferable to all ointments, and
the buyer requires no certificates to its
genuineness.
