The Carling Cup was originally called the League Cup. It was meant for competition between the English Leagues (Premiership, Championship, League 1, League 2). The FA Cup is a competition for all the League and non-League clubs to participate.

Don't take this to the bank, but...
The Carling Cup is only for clubs in the top 4 divisions of English football (Premier League and the Football League, which is the League Championship and Divisions 1 and 2). The FA Cup is open to all levels of English football.
