As the dnty noar required is "extraordinary," <iU persons are included in the call, who have been exempted under any pretences. If the torn-oat is a general one, Falstaffs inarch through Coventry will be a fool to it; besides our Distriot has been most alarm ingly afflicted the last three years, with every ill that flesh is heir to, seemingly to have affected mostly those between 17 and *n miriT afa Rnnrcfl *V>1a to walk, to an Examining Board?"clubs is trumps/'? but oan generally, get away with unexampled celerity. The crops are generally laid by, now, bo a day at Smith's old field will not oause much, suffering?one of our parlor Generals might be invited to drink a little blood on the ocoaeion, which would idd much to the interest, and give his own oommand. an idea of what he knows about "guna and swords, and villainous saltpetre." We would suggest that the Colonel of the Board of Belief, with his staff, pa"dp his I'oorps," without arms, for fear they might have a different idea from those who may have excused certain persons, as "useful men" in thfc- community, and put the militia proper to flight, to the utter disregard ^of Gov. Bonham's authority. A committee of the Greenwood Card Factory should be invited to attend, and report progress to one dollar subscribers; a hand of deserters from King's Mountain should be invited to discourse tho music of the occasion, and the very effective corps of the Quartermaster and Commissary Departments be" instructed to issue the rational orders od the sublime occasion. That the solemnity of the occasion may not be cbu-' sed, or the musical ear disturbed, the "butter speculators" should see that the wagon trains are well supplied with grease. As this oocasion is to be a grand one, calculated to scatter terror amoDg our foes, ud confidence among our frieods, the Devil contends that everybody should attend this grand military scatteration 1 . 'I SOLDIER'S FAMILIES. By an : advertisement of tbe Enrolling Gtiteer in this day's paper, it will be seen that parties exempted from military duty to furnish provisions to Goverppent and soldier's families at schedule prices, are re* quired to do so 9trictly} or be sent to tbe Camp of Instruction.

The character of our sister State is at stake, so the larger the-majority for Vance, die greater will she vindicate it.? We will probably have the result next week. THE NEWS. a We have muoh of interest to day. The Yankee moles, in Virjginia, have succeeded in undermining and blowing up some of -our works, but the light of day brought to themselves the great destruction they deemed impossible for us. to escape. Though we lost, probably from one to three hundred, the Yankees, blaok and white, have suffered greatly in killed, wounded and prisoners ?the oowardly sooundrels alwayk surrendering in au open field. The negroes dried out "no quarter?remember Fort Pillow!" and like demons rnshed through the burning embers-of the fortification?but they were qbiokly burled back by our brave men who hacf marohed forward to avenge their oomrades, and.

The fight was not going on, bat we may probably bare stirring news to day. As regards Gon. Early's movements, on his returning columns, we have not been enlightened, except that the Yankees report us as still threatening Maryland, and the following official despatch' from- Gen.

Yet oar uneasiness is only caused by the the raiders on Macon/ Anderson and other places, not the main body. Around Charleston, matters remain unchanged, except that the enemy have recommenced shelling the city?if they wouldonly shell oat the noB-cbmhatants that are fed by the State, and allowed to remain there, it would be of advantage to us?

The subject of this notlco was a young man of aatfable disposition, and won for himself the love and respect of all with whom be came In contact. He was n faithful-soldier, and discharged all his duties cheerfully. He volunteered "for the war," lo August 1861, In Company A, 12th Regiment, 8. C. V. As a member of that Company, he soon gained the confidence of his officers and Se respect and esteem of bis coftuades. He served with is Regiment until the summer of 1869. when becoming broken down In health, he was discharged and sent home, i In the Spring of 1863, having partially recovered his health, he volunteered, while exempt from service, in Company E, 5th Regiment, fc>. C. V. He joined his Company on the Black water, In Virginia, and was with it in all themarahes . and skirmishes around Suffolk, and shared with it oil the hardships and privations of the Tenneraeecampalgn. He was in his place on the 6th of May, lq the battle of "the Wilderness, and no man did battle more nobly an thatday.' He fell mortally wounded, in two places, -from the effects of which he died on the lflth of May. He leaves a fond father and sister, and many comrades to mourn bis loss. Bat sweet Is the consolation of hlcfttsnda to bear that he died In possession of a bright hope tint all was well with his soul beyond the grave?that Jesus had cleansed it from sin by Hie atoning blood. Jesus he loved and in hlraJie putbls trust His last words to the writer were : "Meetinc in Heaven." "Farewell! friend of my better days?
