SPEAK KINDLY TO THB SOLDIER.

BY BIRDIE.

(WRITTEN BT SPECIAL BQDWt.)

. Speak kindly to the soldier,His home is far away ;

And all the loved companionsWho cheer'd his youth's bright day :

No words from kindred voices .

Fall on bis list'ning sa-rtor looks of deep devotion,

From those his heart holds dear.j.Bis check is pale with sorrow,

His bosom filled with woe;'And burning tears of anguish,

In secret oftimes flow.Upon the weary night watch,. Mia mind flies o er life's track,And olden dreams of gladness

Come wildly rushing back.Before his vision rises,

In a far distant land,At the stilly hour of twilight,

Another household band :

The cheery fire is blazing,. But each brow is marked with careThe darling, and the loved one,

No more is gathered there.And as these scenes pass by him,

A tear-dro- p dims his eye;And from bis quivering young lip. There trembles op a sigb.Speak kindly I oh, speak kindly I

'Twill cheer his aching heart,And cause the storms of darkness

From out his soul depart.Speak kindly to the soldier,

With merry jest and song;Thy kindred aud thy loved ones,

Daily around thee throng:With Joy each young eye beameth,

Each lip wreathes with a smile :

But the heart of the lone soldierIs weary all the while.

Speak kindly ! oh, speak kindly !

Each sorrowing thought nllay;And send his darkened spirit

Rejoicing on its way.

Eesolced, That we eVer bear testimony to theireminent worth. As citizens, they were exemplaryand upright ; as friends, they were courteous, hightoned and honorable. They were well prepared todischarge aright the duties of life, and they had solived as to leave names without reproach.

Resolved, That we feel it to be our duty to pay atribute to Captain Adams as a soldier.

Remarlcs of .Robert P. Dick, Esq., on the Death ojJulius L. Oorrell, Esq., and Capt. Wm. Adams,made at a Meeting of the Guilford Bar.Mr. Ciiaikman : My regard for our departed

brothers, and the peculiar relation which I occupiedto one of them, require me to say something onthis sad occasion. I am glad that I can say, in thesincerity of my heart, that they were both worthyof our high esteem. I knew them when they werelittle boys, the idol and joy of their homes, and Isaw them grow up to manhood with many fondhopes and bright promises clustering round them.They have left us nowl Their woik on earth isdone, and we have met to pay a last tribute to theirmemories.

Julius L. Gorrell was a christian gentleman. Ifhe were living, he would desire no higher eulogy.He was remarkable for his methodical habits, andhis fidelity to duty. Had he lived, his strict integ-rity and unwearied energy and perseverance wouldhave rendered much service to society and obtainedhigh honor for himself. I knew him well in allthe positions which he occupied as a Sabbath-scho-

teacher, as a member of the church, as amember of the Legislature, and as a lawyer. Andif he was faithless to any of the high obligationswhich those positions imposed, I am gladnhat Iknow it not

The last few weeks of his life were clouded witha great sorrow. His gallant brother, Capt HenryC. Gorrell, had fallen in the vanguard of the noblearmy that drove the Vandals from the very gates ofour Capital. It is manly to weep for loved onesand the brave! With an all absorbing grief, ourfriend was mourning for his noble brother, whenthe summons came to join him in the spirit land.The attachment of these two brothers was unusual-ly intimite and strong. It seemed to grow withtheir growth and strengthen with their strength.Death did not separate them long. The bauds ofsorrowing amiction have laid them side by sidebeneath the shadow of the church, where fromchildhood they had worshipped, and where theywere consecrated to Hiia who now "giveth Hisbeloved sleep."

Capt William Adams was my law student, andfor some time we were intimately associated in theprofession. I bad the most unbounded confidencein his integrity and friendship, and I am sure thatthere was no one outside of the circle of my imme-diate kindred for- - whom I had a more affectionateregard. He was a noble and chivalrous young man.He had many of the qualities calculated to inspirestrong friendship. He was brave almost to rash-ness. His generosity was without a taint of selfish-ness, and his open-hande- d and open-hearte- liberal-ity was almost a fault His handsome intellect en-abled him to acquire knowledge with great facilityperhaps too easily for his own good, as he trustedrather to genius than to labor. He was very fondf the society of his friends, and spent much time

in social intercourse; but I always felt sure that hehad a strong sheet-ancho- r that would keep him safefrom the temptations and dangers which so often

. Wet the path of warm hearted and generous youthand that was his devoted attachment to his christianmother.

As a soldier, he was brave and faithful to dntvlie was but seldom on furlough.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD : WEDNESDAY, NOV 5 1862.

My yoiing and gallant friend is gone I The lastsound which greeted his ear was the roar of thebattle ; the last sight of his fading eye was the affec-

tionate sympathy of his brave comrades in armslHis noble heart, once so kind, so generous, and sobrave, now lies cold and still, far from his home ;

but his memory will long be cherished by hisfriends and his country, and I sincerely trust that amerciful God has given him peace in the brightand better land.

Mr. Chairman, the unwritten history of this warwould make a terrible record of sorrow. It has de-

stroyed many warm friendships, blighted nianybright and beautiful hopes, and with bloody andremorseless hand has sundered thousands of ties ofthe holiest love. It has made this fair land of ours,once the abode of peace and contentment, of pros-

perity and plenty, the scene of carnage and desola-

tion, and the dwelling place of want and anguish.It has filled our hearts with sadness, and our homes

with gloom; for many of the young, the noble andbrave, who have gone forth will return no more.Everywhere is heard the voice of lamentation andweeping and great mourning many a Rachaelweeping for her children. But I trust that all ofthose who mourn may be comforted with the bless-

ed hope that though " weeping may endure for snight, joy cometh in the morning."

Eastern North Carolina.The following article is indicative of a growing

appreciation of Eastern North Carolina. In thename of our people, we thank the Richmond Exam-

iner tor the manner in which it urges the matter

upon the attention of the government We havebeen doing so for the last fifteen months, and if the

press of the country had come to our help at that

time, Roanoke Island, Newbern and Norfolk mighthave been saved to the Confederacy. -

The Examiner says :

There are many considerations which make itnecessary that the government snouia utte promptand energetic measures to hold against the enemythe Eiistern portion of North Carolina. The peopleof this section are already alarmed at the prospectof being overrun by the enemy, are said to distrustthe intentions of the government to hold this coun-

try, and to be making preparations to remove theirslave property to safer quarters.

There need be no occasion for this alarm or dis-

trust, if the government will only use vit orouslythe ample time it still has to obstruct and fortifythe Tar and Neuse rivers. These water avenues are

the points to be guarded. The Neuse is navigable

at a high freshet for boats drawing four or five feetof water (and some of the Yankee gun-boat- s drawno more) to Sinithfield, which is within twenty-fiv- e

miles of Raleigh. It would be improper to saywhat has already been done to close these rivers.It is not improper to say that much remains to bedone; that the Confederate regiments scatteredthrough this portion of North Carolina might beq is posed to better advantage, anu, unaer any cir-

cumstances, should be largely reinforced ; and, thatNorth Carolina, having put sixty regiments in theConfederate army, and having no longer any Statetroops in service, has reason to expect that the Con-

federate authority will make a true and cordial en-

deavor to protect the most valuable portion of herterritory against the threatened inroads of theenemy.

There is scarcely an equal portion ot country inthe South more valuable to us at this time thanthe Eastern districts of North Carolina. The thir-t- v

of the eighty-fou- r counties of North Carolinawhich lie East of the Weldon and Wilmington railroad, constitute the most fertile portion of the State ;

include within their limits about two-third- s ol itsentire slave property, and contain at this time, ifwo are correctly informed, enough corn to iecu ourarmy in Virginia for six months. The people inthis quarter of the State have made no cotton what-

ever, and the store-house- s of the farmers are burst-ing wfli grain and bacon. In some of the countiesseveral crops of corn have accumulated, and it isselling freely within the reach of transportation atone dollar per bushel, Besides the immense supplies of grain in this country there are seven millions of pounds of pork in excess of the consumption of the inhabitants, which it is important lorthe government to secure.

The question of army supplies is scarcely lessimportant now than that of victories and defeats inthe held. The delence ol that portion 01 isortnCarolina that is now the granary of the South, isquite worth all the men and expenditure that willbe needed to secure it If it were necessary tomake any appeal on this point beyond that to theselfish interest and policy of the government, wemight remind the authority of claims which NorthCarolina has upon its consideration in the amount ofpatriotic service, and testimonies of willing andbrave devotion to the cause of the Confederacy.We may say, however, that the appeal for protec-tion does not come from an idle and querulous peo-

ple that the inhabitants of East North Carolinawho have remained to await the Yankees, are already doing all that is possible to assist in preparations against the enemy ; as an instance ot which,the farmers in this region have given to the publicservice in works of defence one half of their available force of slaves. It these efforts are not secondedby the government, it may not only lose a valuabledistrict, but it will make a hard return for the patriotism and spirit they display.

Advice to Younu Men. The "spirited local"of the Lynchburg Republican gives the following

sensible advice to young men, which we heartilyendorse :

The custom of improper reference to the ladies is.we fear, very common among the young men of ourcity, as well as elsewhere Our advice to all suchis, never to make use of an honest woman's name inan improper place, or at an improper time, or in amixed company. IN ever make assertions about herthat you think are untrue, or allusions that you feelshe would blush to hear. Like the tender flowerswhich the early frost kills, the character of womanwhen assailed by the breath of suspicion, is forevergone. False though these suspicions may be, shecan never regain what she has once lost And weadvise our young friends when they get into thecompany of men who do not scruple to make use ofa woman's name in a reckless manner, immediatelyto leave them, and shun them as they would a viper

for be assured they are the worst members of thecommunity, and are men lost to every sense of hon-or, and every feeling of humanity.

Death: of Maj. Balfour. A correspondent ofthe Mobile Register, amotion nther inciHonto nf ihnbattle of Corinth, gives the following :

At Davis bridge, on. bunday, the accomplishedand gallant Balfour, of Gen. Van Dorn's staff wasfatallv wounded. Hej - vm v DUIUbMIJturn deathly pale and dismount cautiously from bisuorse. ne was asKeu u ne was injured, and repliedin the negative. He then walked to the shady sideof a house, fell in a reclininer nosition and drew hisrevolver. He had been mortally wounded, a Minninball passing through his bowels ; but with a fullsense of his injury, he cooly resigned himself to hisfate, endeavoring to attract as little attention andcreate as little alarm as possible. He died a fewhours after receiving his wound, with unsurpassedcoolness and resignation. Maj. Balfour was a mem-ber of one of the most wealthy and influential fami-lies of this State, was the nephew of President Davis,and the pride and hope of his family. He was agentleman of excellent education, high polish, andwas an encyclopedia of general information obtain-ed by study and travel

North-Carolina- 's Quota. It has been frequent-ly stated in the papers recently that North-Carolin- a

has furnished more than her equal proportion ofsoldiers for the war. If this be true, no more sol-diers should be permitted to leave North-Carolin- a

until the other States are required to supply theirfair proportion. It is a trite and true saw that afree horse should never be rode to death. If themen of North-Carolin- a have volunteered more free-ly and more readily obeyed the requirements of thefirst call for conscripts than the other States, theyshould be excused from the second call until theother States come up to an equality with them,lhis matter should certainly be looked into in timeto protect North-Caroli- from injustice, Green.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN NEW YORK.

Avery large Democratic meeting was held inIrooklyn on the 22d ult Samuel Sloan, Presidentf the Hudson River Railroad, presided. The New

Jork Herald in its summary of the proceedings,

' (One of the resolutions "arraigned and denounced"

he proclamation of the President emancipating thelaves, and this resolution was loudly cheered anddopted. The first speaker after a few remarksy the President was the Hon. Horatio Seymour,

iie declared that the events of the last few weeks'iad essentially changed the relationship of the dem--crat- ic

party to the government, and that that par-

ty was now the " master of the situation." An al-

lusion in his speech to the Governor of Massachu-

setts brought down hisses for Gov. Andrew, while

another allusion to Gen. McClellan brought down

rounds of applause. Mr. Seymour was followed iuhis speech by Mr. John Van Buren, who declaredthat he had never supported a candidate with moresatisfaction than he should support Mr. Seymour.Still he had, following the suggestions of an intelli-

gent and sagacious editor, recently proposed, withMr. Seymour's concurrence, that both candidatesfor the Governorship should withdraw in favor ofGen. Dix. He denounced Gen. Wadsworth as anopen, bitter, malignant enemy of Gen. McClellan,and gave as his authority for that statement Com-

missary General Welsh, of this State. If GeneralWadsworth had not changed his views in regard tohis superior officer, then he was a traitor, and de-

served a gibbet more richly than Jefferson Davishimself. In regard to Gen. Scott's letter to Mr.Seward, he said that the mode of his obtaining itwas a secret, and that a most accomplished and cul- -'

tivated lady was helping him to keep the secretAs to the statement made in the Evening Post inregard to bis dining in the club room at the sametable with Gen. Scott, the day when be read thatletter at the Cooper Institute, he declared it to be afalse statement of a private conversation made byCharles King, of Columbia College, the only manin the United States who ever assailed a dead wo-

manMrs. General Jackson. He (Mr. Van Buren)was but a private in the ranks ; but, if he had com-

mand of the army, and ever got to Richmond, hewould say, " Gallant Greeley, advance ! Forward,the black brigade ! Penetrate .to the heart of SouthCarolina, and stay there forever." He declared itas his opinion that if there should be an attempt tomake this a war for the abolition of slavery, and toarm the brutal helots of the South, it would be thehighest duty of European nations, as civilized andChristian nations, to interfere.

The Exemption Law. We copy in another col-

umn aneditorial from the Standard containing somecomments upon a provision in the military exemp-

tion law. We fully concur in the Standard's stric-

tures upon the law. We have on many occasions,refrained from canvassing the justice and proprietyof certain acts of Congress which did not meet ourviews for fear of producing more harm than good insuch discussion. We hope we fully appreciate theimpropriety, in the present critical situation of thecountry, of mere factious opposition to the consti-

tuted authority of the Confederacy ; but yet a freepress would be derelict in its obligations to the peo-

ple, were it not to enter its protest against unequaland unjust laws. That the provisions of the exemption law grants special favors to the people ofthe Cotton states and the largely slaveholding com-

munities, is so plain as to need no argument Atpresent we are not disposed to discuss the subject;further than to enter our protest against any suchunjust discrimination. Greensboro', Patriot.

BRAGG AND BEAUREGARD.

"The Knoxville Register contains a card signedby Confederate Soldiers, asking ' why Gen. Beauregard has been taken from them f whether it wason account of his failing health, or for the purposeof placing over them another, who never will be ascompetent to lead the Western army as their triedand cherished General.' They further ask that heshall be restored to his command. General Beauregard has the faculty of causing a firm and lastingattachment to spring up between himself and hisarmy, wherever he may chance to command.

.rammer.General Beauregard has other faculties, too, which,

if he had been allowed to retain the command of thearmy he had actually created, as well as organized,would have placed that army, and the State of Ken-tucky, and the cause of the Confederacy, in a farbetter and more advanced condition than they to dayoccupy. VVhy he was removed is among the in-

scrutable acts of an Executive whose ways are pastfinding out How he was removed by what shal-low quibble and --unworthy equivoke is better un-

derstood. The soldiers of that army may ask tohave their beloved General restored to them, but,if they are answered at all, they will probably betold, as their Congressional Representatives werewhen they preferred a similar request that " thoughall the world united in the application, it would notbe granted." Let them be silent, therefore, andknow that one more wiser than they wiser thanall the world "rules in all these affairs !

THE QUESTION OF RECOGNITION.The Jlerald treats with contempt the Tribune's

assertion that the recognition of the Southern Con-federacy is a foregone conclusion in Europe, andsays, "So far from having any intention of inter-fering in our concerns, there is every reason to be-

lieve that the contrary is the case." The opinionof neither paper is entitled to much weight

William 11. Seward has sent a circular to theministers abroad, conveying the astounding infor-mation that the " aggressive movement of the rebelsis arrested," and announcing the appearance of Lin-coln's proclamation as follows :

"In the opinion of"the President the moment hascome to place the great fact more clearly before thepeople of the rebel States, and to make them under-stand that if the rebel States persist in imposingupon the country the choice between the dissolu-tion of this government, at once necessary andbeneficial, and the abolition of slavery, it is theUnion and not slavery that must be maintained andsaved. With this object the President is about topublish a proclamation, in which he announces thatslavery will no longer be recognised in anv of theStates which shall be in rebellion on the first ofJanuary next While all the good and wise menof all countries will recognise this measure as ajust and proper military act intended to deliverthe country from a terrible civil war, they will re-cognise at the same time the moderation and mag-nanimity with which the government proceeds in amatter so solemn and important" Rich. Whig.

Gallant Conduct of N. C. Troops. The Rich-mond Enquirer says :

In a tribute which a correspondent pays in to-day's paper to Col. John R. Cooke, of the 27th N.C. regiment, an incident is referred to as transpiringin the battle of Sharpsburg, of which we have heardfrom another source, but more in detail. Occupy-ing a very perilous but very important position,Colonel Cooke received orders from several of hissuperiors that it was necessary for him to hold.it atall hazards. He returned answer that he would doso, with increasing emphasis to each successive mes-sage, until to the final one, he made the reply statedby our correspondent, to the effect that he wouldhold it while he had a man that could stand up.His noble North Carolinians, in full accord with theheroism of their commander, were so delighted withhis answer, that in the midst of the furies of thebattle with the missies of death hailing around them,tbey paused to give three chreers to their Colonel.and gave them with a will 1 They then addressedtnemseives to their work ogam, and proceeded tomake his promise good.

' 7 : ; - For the Standard.

Mr. Editor : I wish to call the attention of ourlegislators, and of the people generally, to the con-

sideration of a subject in which we are all concerned.It is well known that Congress passed an exemptionact exempting certain persons therein named from" military, service ;" and, among the rest, 'owners oftwenty negroes. The question arises, why were theowners of twenty negroes exempted from "militaryservice f" The object in view was undoubtedly of atwo-fol-d nature. First, as expressed in the act, " tosecure the proper police of the country," and sec-

ondly, by securing said " proper police," to enablethe owners of slaves to raise food for the sustenanceof those who are shielding their necks from the ironhoof of Yankee despotism.

Notwithstanding the laudable designs of Congress

in exempting certain owners of slaves from militaryservice, some planters will be found inconsiderateenough, lured by the high prices of tobacco, to bendtheir energies to its culture 1 Such ought not to be

tbe case. The Confederacy needs the aid and sym-

pathy of all her sons in the support of her armies.What I want, Mr. Editor, is for the State of NorthCarolina to with the Confederate Con-

gress in its laudable designs, by tbe passage of anact prohibiting the culture of tobacco within herlimits during the continuance of the war. Such anact, some may say, would interfere with the rightsof freemen. But, ought not the rights of freemento be exercised rationally and consistently, not sub-

versive of the right of others f If conscripts are re-

quired by law, with no one to help them on theirfarms, to leave their homes, their wives and littleones, and enter the service, is it requiring toomuch at the hands of exempts to do something fortheir support and comfort while defending our in-

stitutions fIt is clearly the duty of legislators to legislate for

the good of the people. And if a set of unfeelingMammonxtes, too sordid ever to be prompted byfeelings of patriotism, should be found persistentlyacting in a manner subversive of the best interestsof society, and of our country's welfare, some act oflegislative prohibition ought to knock the scales of" filthy lucre" from their eyes and let them see thegrovelling littleness and meanness of their souls.No set of griping vampires ought to be allowed theprivilege, while we are engaged in a contest for civiland religious liberty, of which they and their de--"

scendants are to be participants to feed and fatten,erultingly, like buzzards, on the ruin and downfallof those around them.

It does seem to me that planters who are exempt-ed from military service staying at home enjoyingthe company of their wives and " prattling inno-

cents," might afford to raise food, at remnncratireprices, for the sustenance of those who have lefttheir once cheerful firesides, and periled life, prop-erty, and everything in defence of their country.With what degree of spirit can one in the servicenerve his arm for the conflict, when he knows andfeels that his neighbor, who is exempt because heowns twenty slaves, is raising tobacco at high prices,leaving his wife and children naked and hungryaround him ? But let him feel that his wife andlittle ones have " bread enough and to spare," hecan meet the foe with unflinching firmness, and un-

wavering attachment to his country, and feels likeif he falls in her defence, that he will fall in defenseof those who will mourn his loss and appreciate hisservices by providing for the "loved ones at home."

In conclusion, I must say this is no' time to bebending all of one's energies to the culture of the" filthy weed," leaving the wants of the country

The exigencies of the times demandsomething at the hands of all who are able to con-

tribute to the glorious cause in which we are en-

gaged. And I am clearly of opinion that it is wrongto exempt unscrupulous curmudgeons from militaryservice, and turn them loose, unchecked, upon thecountry, to go to and fro, like prowling " wolves insheep's clothing," with their coffers filled with theproceeds of their high priced tobacco, cheating thewives and widows of those who have entered theservice of their country, out of everything they canto speculate upon at exorbitant prices.

An honest patriotic citizen, instead of endeavoringto defraud the widows and orphans around him,protects them by telling them what the true valueof what they have for sale is.

But what ought to be said of insidious vampiresthe descendants of a race of whom it was once

said, "ye are of your father, the devil !" Yea, ofsuch as it was once said of, " ye devour widows'houses, and for a pretence, make long prayers I"

If he went there on a tour of plunder t'j.replenish the exhausted storehouse of our armythen was it a splendid success. .

Never since the war commenced, says the Green-ville (Tenn.) Banner, of the 20th, has there been sogrand and profitable a tour made as the onejusSaccomplish by Gen. Bragg. Just think of it, hohas captured from the enemy, and purchased fromthe citizens together, enough to load a train ofwagons forty miles long. His whole army has fallenback towards the Gap to protect this valuable train,and as it is now safe from capture, Bragg will retirewith his army just where it suits him. The arrivalof this train will play smash with the Jeans specula-tion in this country, as it is bringing one millionyards of good Kentucky Jeans. They also bring alarge amount of clothing, boots and shoes. Twohundred wagon loads of bacon, six thousand barrelsof pickle pork, fifteen thousand good mules andhorses, eight thousand beeves, and a large lot olhogs.

Our paroled prisoners instead of being allowed togo home to see their friends, are detained now aboutRichmond on half rations, with scarcely clothesenough to shield them, and in uncomfortable quar-ters. Why is this ? Why not let them come hometo recruit, and save the expense of half feedingthem f Many of them by comma: home could obtain shoes and clothing, and in a few weeks wouldbe men again but kept as they are, they must dieor become invalids.

Agonizing Scenes. A letter from Sharpsburg,Md., of a recent date, furnishes the following melancholy incidents :

. Many scenes of the most distressing character aredaily witnessed in the hospitals and on the field.lhis vast country, filled with the dead from everyState, is the goal of many a pilgrim. Some, comingto find the dead, are overjoyed at finding the objectoi their search still living , others who sees tne liv-ing, are shown to the snot where lies the dead. Inthe beginning of the week a mother and daughterirom a distant state, came to tne nospiiai in onarps-burg- ,

hoping to administer to the wants of their hus-bands, whom they believed to be convalescent almost able to accompany them home. But alas !

who can measure the anguish of their hearts whenthey learned that husbands, father, and son, weredead and already three days beneath the earth.They were led in deep, sorrow to the grave, and im-

mediately threw themselves upon the mounds, andin the frenzy of despair, and with their hands toreaway the ground, screaming and crying aloud in themost heart rending tones. When they bad whollyexhausted themselves with weeping, the ladies whoaccompanied them took them up and brought themto the village.
