The Medical Bo&rdr The Into sweeping action of tli?? military J medical Hoards in Mvtiding invalids notoriously unfit for any kind of Military rcrvicc, into tSo field, i* a aul ject which calls loud ly for Congressional legislation. It U said tlial the instructions- to the Honrds arc no v-ery ?trindent Hint if nn invalid ii alda to leave bin roam, no matter what his iliivnw may be, it is difficult far liitn to gel an exemption on the ground of physical disabil it) ; and some ot the members of these Uuud?, when confronted with an outraged public I sentiment, hove been honest enough to ndmil that they were compelled to uet contra ry to their judgment, mid to consign men to duties wtrch, in all piotahility, would Ik resell in denth. This, in plain language, ' naeuna that certain officer* af the Government are every dny committing murder, for which lliey are respansihle to God ni.d man. Hut aside from the inhumanity of ,li?o course that is being pursued, it works a * positive injury to the Government. Maimed and diseased men cnn be of no servi. e in the army, but they nre mi expensive as well soldiers. They fill the hospitals and are fed and clothed at the public rxpense In the course of a few months (if Uhsy do r>t diej they nre discharged and sent home; i where they are aulfsred,' however, to have 1 but a bricf'rcst ; tor at the lirst meeting of I the local medical Hoard, they are acccp'ed I and sent into camp, to be turned into the hospitals and ng .in discharged at the end of a few months, if death in the mean lime, 9 does not relieve the victim of his persecu I iors. Ar.d thus thia miserable si stem is 4 carried on, to the infliction of an incalculable , I amount of private atd public inislhirf The Government may very well dispense M with tho services of Surgeons under the j present regulations. The examinations are ia nine farce, and an order to the Krirolhng Offi vera to acini all ?ien into camp' who are able to travel would obviate lha nereaaily of aending Surgeon* iota tl.e different Ilia trirta, and the latter might be aligned to either dutie*.

This body assembled in Chariot, C., on the 6th inst. The followihg items of general interest connected with the proceedings are culled from our Charlotte exchanges: The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the Confederate States convened in Chnr'otte or. Thursday, May 6th, and was opened with u Sermon by the lie v. James A- Lyon, I) !>., of Mi'ssissippi Text: 1st Thess. ii. 4.?'"But as we were allow%d of Ged to be put in trust with the Gospel, ??ru no no SJieHS ; IIOl 31H pieSSing 111611,. but God, which trieth our heart."

Editorial Brevities The Yankees applied the fl.unes to I Washington, N. C. before they evacuated, leaving two thuds of the town a heap of smouldering ruins. A Richmond paper mentions, among a great quantity of valuable supplies thut there has "arrived at a Confederate port," three millions of pounds of bacon. We infer that it lias been captured from the Yankees on the Sound. Mr. J. A. Fox, of Chnilotte, N. C., gives notice through the paper* that lie will pay the tuition in the best school* ol the coun try of nnv di?nb'ed soldiers from Mecklenburg County, V C , for n HulHcionl length of time to qualify them for busiucs# by which th*?y uiay make tor themselves a support. , * The old gnlleimn in spectacle*, thinks that the lives will break their necks if they don't quit tumbling over each other so last, in their eagerness to circulate." A short time ago they were so retired that one could scarcely bo fouad without n search warrant. The man who, in limes like these, (says the South Carolinian) only pays fnu?per cent, tax, and that in kind, upon assessments made before the war, holds the community around him "by Uie throat, and can teed it or not, an his nature may sleet; while ha who liii* inverted Ms earnings in stocks or bonds, and pnyi thereupon four or tivo tituos its full value, or according to prevent Assessments, is ho who actually gives support to the Government, and proportionately bears more than hi* burden of .the struggle. A wife of one of the soldiers on Sullivan's Island recently visited him in cump, And carried with tier delicacies from honfe.

Strange to say, she lingered sevcrul days in tins agonized'condition and finally died in the hospital.

The iiiuHiplied duties and call* of my circuit will not allow me to approac breach individual with a subscription list, and therefore, I have adopted this plan of re? newing the appeal to the people ot lauua*lor District, with tho hops that there are many of tha patriotic who will ehoerfally respond.

The kind ot provisions mostly winded are : Flour, Macon, Meal and Grist, dried Fruit, ' Butter, Kggs, Chifksns,&c.
