CHARLOTTE, N. C.
Thk Action of
C. Convention has
the Convention. The N.
agreed to take a recess
from
Tuesday the 25th inst.
unless sooner convened
until the 21st
of April,
hf the President.
v .,
Convention passed an - Ordinance to pay
ui
".j Carolina's portion of the War Tax from the" State
Treasury, arid collect it from the people hereafter.
We think this is an unfortunate act of the Uou
vention. The people of the State are better pre
pared to pay the tax now than they will be for sev
eral years hereafter, and we think iiiost of them
had made arrangements to pay and would do it j
willingly. The amount will have to be collected j
at some time, and we fear at a time when the taxes j
fjr State purposes are the highest. If any of the 1
comities are rendered unable to pay by reason
invasion, tne State migiit nave assumed the pay
ment of the tax for those counties and collect it
from them hereafter. But most of the counties
are ready and should have been allowed to pay.
The action of the Convention will cause trouble
and distress hereafter.
The Convention also passed an Ordinance to pay
j a bounty of $50 to volunteers for the war. This,
added to the bounty of $50 offered by the Confed
erate Government, makes one hundred dollars for
car- soldier who volunteers for the war. This
bounty is also to be paid to those already enlisted,
deducting the ten or fifteen dollars paid them here
tofore. This liberal proposition is made in order
to avoid a draft, which will have to be resorted to
unless the required force is soon obtained. We
will publish the ordinance iu full as soon as we
obtain a copy.

country have put on a cheerful. face they ride as
straight as a lajor and there has been a general
bustle amongst them. We heard the other day
that they have commenced drilling again in the
of notable Chucky Knobs. We will be compelled to
give tuem another shelling before they will come
to proper discretion. The fact is, our policy with
them has been, in my opinion, wrong all alon I
have taken the liberty to speak agaitist it, and now
am writing against it.
Last night while out on picket I got informa
tion of a company that crossed the Horse Mountain
and made their way to Kentucky, armed with
Tennessee Rifles. According to the number of men
missing from the different counties of East Teu
ncssee, there must be at the very lowest calcula
tion, three or four thousand who have made their
way to Abraham's bosom, and are now fighting
against their homes.
The law makes provision for the confiscation of
all their property""both personal and real; hut there
seems to be rather a backwardness among Uncle
Jeff's friends to execute said law. ( This, however,
ought to be done promptly, and let such persons
know that they cannot act the traitor or tory with
impunity. I tell you, air, if a more rigorous
course is not pursued in this country, it will not
require a prophet to predict the cun.eiuences. 1
am creditably informed that it is very difficult to
get a Grand Jury iu some of the counties in Kst
Tennessee, who will act out the principles of the
Southern Confederacy in good faith. Lery cir
cumstance proves that there is a deeply grounded
hatred in the hearts of most of the unionists in
this country to the Southern Confederacy. Some
of them will pretend to be good and true Southern
men to a soldier, and just as soon as his back is
turned or he meets with some loyal son of Abe,
they are planning or using some argument to keep
the bretherii in the Lincoln faith. This would
not be so very bad, or at least one could look over
it, if it did not come too often from ihe lips of a
man professing to be called of God to preach the
unsearchable riches of the gospel. The perils ol
the Revolution, and the tory bloyd that stained
the sabres of our forefathers, was never ranker
than the blood of most of the tories with whom
we have to contend in this country. I believe
they are secretly sworn, as a general thing. They
wont volunteer, but keep slipping off to the enemy
every opportunity, and if they can't get there
themselves, they aid those who can go, so they are
enemies in every respect. It is generally believed
that the Governor of the State will order a draft
on the counties of East Tennessee; and if this is
done it will produce a tremendous flutteration
auioiiirst the
"loyal subjects."
For.l.Y. What good can our cotemporaries in
Virginia and in this State hope to do by publish
ing such things as Taylor's proclamation, he
reasons for Lincoln's releasing the political priso
ners, and the clever things related of Rutusidc's
doinirs and talk about Elizabeth Citv and Eden-
tou? What good can come of it ? Will it not do
much harm? Many persons are ignorant, and
others, it is said, ore disloyal; will such things
help such people and make them more loyal and
devoted to the South? Robiyh Standard. .
We think the Richmond and others papers in
that direction publish too much northern stufl.
It is not calculated to do our people any good. We
recently saw copied into some paper, from a yan
kee paper, a gross assault on the character of Mrs
Grcenhow, who is held as a prisoner by Lincoln.
Extoktionkks. Tn a letter written in 1779
to Joseph Reed, "President of Pennsylvania,"
Gen. George Washington, in writing of extortion
ers, who weie profiting on the public necessity,
said: "It gives me sincere pleasure to find that
the Assembly is so well disposed to second your
endeavors in bringing those murderers of our
cause, the monopolizers, forestallers, and en
grosscis, to condign punishment. It is much to
be lamented that each State, long ere this, has not
hunted them down as pests to society, and the
greatest enemies we have to the happiness of
America. I would to God that some of the more
atrocious in ench State was hung in gibbets upon
a callows five times as biah as the one prepared
for Hainan. .No punishment, in my opinion, is
too severe for the man who can build bis greatnet.3
upon bis country's ruin."

THE WAR FEELING in THE COUNTRY
We have convincing and multiform proof that
the people of the South, especially the great rural
population, was never more resolved than they are
now to fight out the war to the bitter end. The
effect of this determined feeling is seen in the
growing determination to re-enlist, which is found
to prevail in every regiment of "our volunteer
army. Parents and kindred at home are writing
patriotic letters to the young men in camp, who
are responding to their appeals in the most grati
fying manner. It is not the volunteer who are
so much to be appealed to in this case as their
kindred at home. If these latter do but say the
word there is not one volunteer in ten who will
not re-enlist. It is said that some of the officers
in the field are discouraging re-enlistments iu
their companies and reiriments. desiring theni-
companies ana reri:nents. uesinn
selves a pretext to leave the service of their
f- -
country. The officers who would act so base a
part never would have joined the service at all, if
they had not, by mistaken use of the appointing
power, been seduced itjto the service by tempting
commissions. But ten times stronger than the
influence of these unworthy characters is that of
appeals from home. Let but this latter influence
be exerted by our patriotic fathers, mothers, and
young women, and the cause of the country will
be safe beyond contingency.
Really, the inducement is very great indeed
which urges our farmers and yeomen to exert this
influence upon their sons in camp. If the Yan
kees should succeed, as they now aim to do, in
fastening their enormous debt upon the South,
even in equal share with themselves, our country
is utterly ruined. The land would literally groan
under taxation, and scarcely any man could call
himself solvent, for scarcely any of the leading
pursuits of the country would get through the
year without debt after paying taxes. Submission
to the enemy would be ruin outright; and our
farmers and planters have nothing to do but to
fiht the battle through to the bitter end. This
they are more determined upon now, if possible,
than at any former period of the war.
Distilleries'. It is said that thirty-five new
distilleries have gone up in this (Cleaveland)
county since last corn gathering. These institu
tions have raised the price of corn and hoarded it
up so much that there is now great difficulty in
buying corn at anything like a reasonable price;
we mean reasonable when we reflect how much
corn was made last year enough to do two years
if it had been properly cared for. There should
be something done, wc fay, to prevent this whole
sale conversion of corn into whiskey at this time.
We have war. upon us, and this year our men may
be all called to the field, and but a small crop
made, and then we will need this staff of life.
Whiskey won't do us then. We hope some
action will be taken to stop it, for it is bad policy
to say the least of it. Shelby Eagle.
Whiskey. The panic of the whiskey dealers'
in Richmond on the seizure of Corn by the govern
ment, lias extended to Petersburg. We learn
from the Express that a lair to gooa article can
now be bougnt at per ga.ion, nicn is a nine

loftiest emotions of patriotism. What depths pf
infamy, such as plummet never sounded, in the
history of nations who yielded their liberties
because they hod not courage to defend them
shall we seek to furnish a parallel to our own
pusillanimity and ignominy if we yield now to the
oppressor! Rather let. the flames envelope our
dwellings, and our fields be gleaned with fire and
sword, than that the one shall furnish shelter for
the armed incendiaries who invade us, or the other

least perpetuate the forms , of freedom under
which we were born, keep alive the sacred fires of
liberty, and retain the proud satisfaction of know
ing that we are not unworthy of our lineage.
Yet, before, this dire alternative is forced upon
us, if it must be it behooves us to struggle for
our homes and hearth-stones; filling the earth
thickly all about them with the bodies of the
enemy. The struggle may be fierce and terrible,
but it cannot long endure. The heroism and
self-denial of our people will convince the foe that

though the fearful lesson be traced in the blood
of the noblest in our land, that we cannot be

losing their liberties, except through intestine
feuds. If we are united, we can defy the power
of our enemy who will in vain attempt to etifilavo
us. But, w must rally at once to the standard
of our country.
Volunteering. We are rejoiced to be able to
state (says the Fayettcville Observer,) that voIun
teering is going on with great spirit in this town
and county. That is the way to meet and over
come temporary reverses, such as all armies are
liable to. Lieut. Col. Starr, of the late Ret h el
Regiment, is raising an Artillery Corps. Col.
Starr's efficiency as a disciplinarian, not less than
his kindness to his men, was abundantly manifes
ted during hisservice on the Peninsula.
MrJ. Marshall Williams, of this county, still
another who served in the Rethcl Regiment, in?
forms us that he has obtained several recruits in
his neighborhood, and expects to have no difficulty
in getting 15 there. They wish to join Capt.
Murchison's company, which will, no doubt soon '
be exchanged, as we had captured, at Manassas,
Springfield, &c., a far larger number of the enemy ;
than they have captured of ours.
We haveheard that a cavalry company is being
organized in Harnett County, haviog already a
large number enrolled. . ,
Wc have heard that Mr Jesse Fuller of this 1
town still another llcthel man in conjunction'
with other gentlemen, has met with handsome
success in raising another company in llobeaon
In Greensboro, Charles K. Shober, Esq. is
raising an infantry company. In his call for volun
teers, Mr Shober says truly r
"If we do not intend to be cravens and glares, '
we must be up and doing, and that quickly! ' The
war must be fought to a successful Issue, or we
are a ruined people. To expect peace, except at
the point of the bayonet and by the prowess of our
own arms, is absurd. We mast Fight and Whip, '
or be ruineck"
A Hard Fate. Among the officers captured
at Roanoke Island, was a Lieut. Loyall of Norfolk,
Va., whose fate has been peculiarly bard. In the
IT. S Navy, he was on a foreign station when the
war broke out. A hen his ship arrived in the U.
S., he was arrested and sent to Fort Warren,"
where be remained for several months. Four or w
five weeks ato he was exchanged, returned to
j Norfylk arid was forthwith married to an aecow
,Jllv of vorfuik. to whom he had been en-
gaged for seven years, lie reported for duty, was
sent to Roanoke Island in command of a battery,
and after holding out as long as possible was forced
to surrender, and may now again take up his quar
ters in Fort Warren. . . , '
The character oj the War on the Frontier.-
We find the following in a recent issue of the Lit-
tie Rock (Ark ) Democrat :

"At no r.oint on the war frontier have tbo fed.

so cruel, relenth-M a war as in Missouri and on the -Indian
