We have received letter from Kinston from
gentleman every way worthy Of credit, complaining
of gross injustice and malfeasance on the part of
Medical Boards appointed to examine the Home
Guards and decide as to their ability to perform
military duty. Tho writer alleges that able bodied
men were furloughed or discharged, while many
were retained who were utterly unfit for service
At the instance of one of the surgeons some of the
able-bodied men were brought before the board for
re examination with request that they be assigned
to light duty. Some of the diseased who sought
furloughs were told that the time was short and
that they shond remain until its expiration. Of
company of fifty composed Of twenty able bodied
and thirty diseased men, our correspondent says
eleven of the first were. discharged or furoughed,
and but five Of the latter. These last he adds
better able to perform duty than those retained
some of whom were suffering with dslocation of the
hip joint and kindred diseases. Those assigned 20
light duty were required to perform like duty with
those who were physically sound.
The press has its eye upon the conduct of officials
1t is both the right and duty of those who vic
timized by their injustice and nsoence protest,
to expose the injuries to which they are ubjected
and to demand in the name of humanity better
treatment in future.

led to it. desired Turkish lad who accompanied
me to hold my horse, and sat down under the
shade of the tower to enjoy few moments repose.
No sooner was seated than raising my eyes to the
monument, discovered that the walls which sup
posed to be built of marble or of regular rows Of
white stone, were composed of regular rows Of
human skulls beached by rain and sun, and ce
mented by little sand ard lime, formed entirely the
triumphal arch which now sheltered me from the
burning sun. There must be from fifteen to
twenty thousand. In some places portions Of hair,
are still hanging, and waved like lichen or moss
with every breath Of wind. The mountain breeze
was then blowing fresh penetrating the innnmera

full and plantive sigh. These were skulls Of fifteen
thousand Servians who had been put to death by
the Pacha in the last instruction of Servia. Ser.
via, however, is now free, and this monument will
teach their children the value of independence by
showing them the price at which their forefathers
purchased it.

In reviewing the schedule Of prices fixed by the

pose that they were not much acquainted with the
cost of raising corn and pork, when there is made
such vast difference in the prices Of the two arti

clusively by him. He processes to know what
should be the corresponding difference between
them, and recolects veil that forty years ago. that
one hundred pounds Of pork was valued at what
two barrels of corn were worth. Experience will
teach the close observer that it will take at least
two barrels of corn to make one hundred pounds
of pork In the schedule corn is valued at twenty
five dollars per BARREL when pork is valued at two
hundred dollars per one hundred pounds. just

The WouNDIse OF COLONEL MosBY.-The Lynch.
burg Republican gives the following particulars Of
the wounding of Colonel Mosby:
The gallant partizan chief, Colonel John S.
Mosby, was severely trough not dangerously,
wounded on Thursday night last in Prince William
county. He had started on one of his daring expe-
ditions, and stopped at the house of friend with
three or four of his men, to get supper While en-
gagged at his meal party Of the enemy came up
fred through the windows one of the balls striking
Mosby in the abdomen, but fortunately without
penetrating ranged around and came out just above
and back of the hip. The enemy then rushed into
the house, but the lady whose guest he was, with
ready presence Of mind, cut off the stars from his
coat collar which indicated his rank, before they
got into the room, and upon inquiring who it was
they had shot, were told that it of Mosby s
lieutenants. They examined his wound. a9d think.
ing from the direction Of the ball that it was NOR
tai, left him where he was, remsrking that the
'd-d thief would do his master no more service.
They then decamped and as soon as they were out
Of reach, Mosby was removed to place of safety,
where he is kindly cared for and We hope sincerely
will rapidly recover"

sands who should know great deal better actually
seem to believe it. The visit of the Messrs. Blair

cannot be kept from the knowledge of the South,
and cannot fail to be largely influential In disabusing

the North wants nobody enslaved, but everybody

The Augusta Chronicle Dc Sentinel of the 7th
make the following extracts:
Estate sovereignty gave us the right of secession,
the last desperate remedy left to an outraged peo
pie Therefore we hold the truth most evident that
the only safety against the madness of the majority,
reserved to the few, is the separate and supreme
government of the State
How do these plain principles apply to the pres
ent timer We answer that party in power, un-
der the present Confederate administration asserts
the right to place the people under o dictatorship;
and desperately strive to save their own necks by
gagging the press, suspending the great law of la.
6eas corpus and putting everybody in the Republic
under military rule. How can We keep the party
in power that urges tue old falsehood, that private
right must be sacrificed for the public good-how
keep them from DESTROYING the people for the i'm
agined good of themselves? How keep crazy ma
jority-if majority they have-from running them
selves and minority? The Barons of England took
hands. The South defed hostile administration
by separate State secession, and zee call upon the
Legislature Of the Suite of Georgia soon to assem-
ble to interpOSe the absolute sovereignty of the
State bet,0een tile people anil any more bad laus
We imagine tine look of horror with which the
worshipers of absolute power read these sentiments
but they are correct. Notification and secession
are the last dread engines OF Sell preservation lett
to the States and Georgia having protested against
any infringement Of the liberty of her sons, will
sustain her protest to the last resort We. say the
last-for unless matt ers change and unless those
in power take different coursein conducting public
affairs, and that speedily-we fear shall realize
all the fearful consequences of war within war.
1t does seem as if our Coz Tolerate eaders-relyng
upon the desperate va]pr Of the people to defeat
the foe-also rely upon their patriotic devotion to
the common cause to hide the rapid strides to GEN.
trslizaton and cover the desRotic legislation of
subservient Congress.
To speak out plainly. The people Of Georgia are
freemen. Their liberties were purchased by the
blood OF honored patriots. Their liberties are a
priceless inheritance. They will not part with
them or allow them to be wrested from their grasp
without struggle. They will allow no laws to be
exercised in this Commonwealth which only fit
for traitors. They will submit to no bonds which
are only 6t for slaves. They haze the remedy in
their oaon hands, and they soil apply It,
The liberty Of the people is entrusted to the guar
dianship of the States. Let the sovereign Legisla
lures speak, and let the agents at Richmond trem-
BILE and obey.
Cesar had his Brutus Charles tho First his
Ofo"s'eN, and Confederate leaders may profit by
their example,"
This is the boldest language yet uttered in these
States. If the Editor speaks the sentiments of
majority Of the people Of Georgia, we may look for
stirring events in that State.
