Important Rumor.—We learn thni thp driver of the Warsaw Stage this uioniing brought a report that forty v*»ael9 of the Bur.uside ExpeditioD had appeared off Wilmingtou. From the fact that no letter was brought by the nmil from Wilmington this morning, we ar-e in- ulined to think it is only rumor, especially as the Fleet was stated in Saturday’s Norfolk paper to be collecting at Old Point on .Friday last. The report has probably grown out of the following from fciaturday’s Journ.il:— “home additional blockaders have been seen off our bars during the last few days, bnt no): in su.fficient num bers to indicate that they belone"ed to or formed the van-guard of any ‘expedition.’ " Th* SPKEtu* OF .A Statbs.mam.—We h»ve read with great plea;>ure and instruction, the speech of Oov. tJra- ham, delivered in the State Convention, on the 7th ult., against Judge Biggs's Ordinance concerning Test Oaths and Sedition. It is a. masterly production, and we cannot wonder that after its delivery the odious measuro was rejected by the decisive majority of 77 to ■J2, tln)ugh earnest efforts were made to get it upon the footing of an old party measure, to be adopted as a matter of course because proposed by one of the leal- itig lights of Democracy. Its origin as a statute of George the Ist; its likenets to the sedition law of the elder Adams, (tho'.’gh infinitely v^orse;) its tendency to stir up neighborhood strife; its treating every man and boy 0^‘er 10, as guilty until he should swear to his own innocence; its being an insult to every man in the State; and the utter absence of any necessity for such a law; *re some of the points maintained with lignal ability by Got. Graham. We would like to publish it now, but can scarcely spare SO much room in these exciting tiiBes. The Standard, in which we find it, states that a pamphlet edition of it has been issued at that of!ice: and we take it for grant ed that reading and inielligent men throughout the State wjll supply themselves with it in that form for preservation. Sejjator Bakkr.—We hail the pleasure of seeing, on Saturday, the Hon. James M. I>aker, late Judge of the | lion alone can we find tlie ine.-ms of providing for the Suwannee Circuit Court of Florida, and now Senator e- lect from that State to the Confederate Congress. Judge Baker is a native of the adjoining county of Robeson, a graduate of Davidson College, who read Law with Col. John W. Cameron, and was licensed to the Bar by the Supreme Court of North Carol.ina. He is still a young man, and his rapid rise in Florida, profession ally and politically, is due to his high personal charac ter for integrity, industry, vigor of mind, and irre proachable habit.4. It always affords us pleasure to notice the rise of native North Carolinians—wliether **:he dwellers a: home or the dispersed abroad,”—and wd have marked the career of Judge Baker with espe cial pleasure, as we have known him from hia early manhood, and not the less because he has had the good sense to look to North Carolina for other things than his Law. It is the theory of our Representative sys tem that a Member of Congress is a member from the Confederacy as well as from the particular Stale which elects him; aud if so, we know that the] Judge will bw the Senator of North Carolina, next to that of the “Flowery laud." The relations of North Carolina lo the Confederapy promise to be far more intimate and importaat than they were to the defunct Union, and the presence in iis Councils, besides' her own members, ot auch natives as Judge Baker and others, may help to secure her her proper share of cousideraiion. Under the old government the Arsenal in this place, for in stance, was kept down. Under the new, it is assuming gigantic proportions, and with ita extension, the vast mineral interest of the neighboring counties is coming into notice and use. “Am OUTRA.QR.”—In the Wilmington Journal of the 10th inst. we find the following; An Outrage.—Our readers will recollect that Judge Biggs’s Ordinante in the State Convention, requiring citizens, even natives of the State, to take an oath of allegiance, was rejected ky a large majority. Vet we learn fiom a communication in tha last Raleigh'Stand ard. that the tax colleclor for (^olumbua county has practically overruled the decision of the Convention by requiring all citiz.ens who obeyed his summons to give in their tax lists, to swear and subscribe to their tax lists with an oath of allegiance annexed. “He was asked if he had any law for such aiuoath, and his reply was it made no difference.” Supposing the act to be as stated, we think it does make a great difference, and that the officious officer should not only be removed but indicted also for a misdemeanor. The writer of tlie communication states that he was born and raised in this State, has lived in (!olumbu3 county for many years, an bumble farmer and a .small slave owner, and that he reg.irded this conduct of the offi«er as an out rageous a.«8ault upon himself and others. What makes the matter worse in this case is that we doubt if there is a county in the Slate that ha.s sent more soldiers into the field in proportion to its white population, than Co lumbus. and none that in proportion to its wealth, has supplied Riore voluutary eontributions of clothing. &c., to them. We sujipose that there is scarcely a white person in the county who has not one or more near kinsmen in the army.—Fat). Observfr Col. Alfred Smith, the Tax Collector for (Jolunibus county, above referred to, happened to be in our office a day or two since and we called his attention to this matter. He heard of it for the first time. For the first time he learned that he received tax lists. F'or the fir^t time he or any body else learned that it was the duly of »he Tax Collector to receive such lists. He thought it was the duty of the At^eitors He received no tax lists, and consequently required no oath.s from parties giving tliem in. The story is made up out of the wliole cloth. The only O'iths that he took, he look from parties acting under him in an official capacity Such is the plain story, but such is not the story iliat is sensationized aioiind the .Slate, lo subserve ends which we will not now attempt to characterize, but >Nhich, if judged by the means employed to promote llietH, can hardly coiwinend themselves to a people foud of fnir dealing. — WdnitnijtOH Journal. “The story is msde up out of the whole cloth,” is if.' The object of the Journal in copying our synopsis of aud remarks upon the communication in the which a'l’lel comments such as ours to its correspondent's statemcnn is so apparent th.ii we suppose it is altoge- j taken by a financial revulsion severer than any we have j ther Ubcless to ask the Journal to say that the same I as yet encountered, but the credit of the governn.ent j ...^uVhich brought us its statemenl hrmight us a letter I from John A.

Smith than we had, aud we had I not the slightest knowledge of who was the collector, ’ who the assessor, who the complainant, or of the mat- Monbt Mattirs at Nsw York.—From the N. Y. Herald of the 7th inst. we see that there is a rapid change going on in money matters, threatening serious diffi.cuUies to Linoolndom. It is stated that the objec tion lo receiving Treasury notes is still unsettled. •‘Most of the leading banks receive them on deposit. But a few reject them. The government Quartermaster must have disbursed several hundred thousand dollars in those notes to-day. We learn that th» Park Bank, among others, refused to receive them on deposit. This business may lead hereafter to legislative interference.” That is, the banks are to be required by law to lake the Treasury notes. And why not! It would not be more despotic than many other acts of the despotism. Gold was selling freely at per cent, premiu'm, and very few houses were willing to sell under ‘Ji{ to 3j Bills on London had risen to 114 to ll.’i, and “it is con fidently predicted by the brokers that we shall Ree bills j up to 118 a 120 and gold at 7 a 8 per cent, premium.” I P. S. The Norfolk Day Book of Saturday brings us j New \ ork dates of the 9th, by which we find that Lin coln s financial troubles are rapidly approaching to a crisis. Gold was selling at 4 per cent, premium, and brokers were holding it for much higher rates; exchange on England was held at 114^ to 115; stocks were less active; the indisposition of the banks to lake Linco'n's treasury notes even on deposite was increasing. In Philadelphia, (we quote,) “.A very bad feeling is get ting up towards the banks, and if they do not alter their course there will not be a dozen banks in the U. Stales ill a year from now. The cry is b«ing raised. “Down with the banks, and give us a national currency.” In New York, the Herald says, “It is evident that the Wall street banks have entered into a conspiracy against the Secretary of the Treasury, so as to defeat his plans of finance, and deprive the .-Vdmiuistration of its means of carrying on the war.” The Herald add.s tliat “The financial affairs of the country are in a condition which excites the utmost anxiety and alarm In anoth er week the Treasury will be without a cent, and in fi nancial and commercial business of every kind the pros pect is fast precipitating matters towards a pauic. Those who have anything to dispose of, and who can realize ii, are investing the proceeds in gold or in for eign exchanges, eo as to be prepared for what seems inevitable. It is evident that, unless Congress acts speedily and energetically, not only will we. be over will be destroyed, and our army, which is being brought into suoh fine condition utterly demoralized. In taxa Thk Ti.vbbr Comkact».—We are requested ;o state, that none of the bids for timber for the -Arsenal and armory at this place, advertised for by Capt. Booth, were admissible, the prices being entirely too high W« further iearu ihat the Captain is making arrange- Luents to get the Timber on governmant account; and that be ba» met with one instance of a patriotic gen tleman residing in St-ulh Carolina, who handsomely gave permission to take without compensation the val uable Timber oo a tract of laud owned by him in this iitate. We have not learned his name, or would pub lish it. Tbs Charlkstox Fi nl*.—The whole amount received is (17;i,9ii4 44. Among the latest acknowledgments are the following from North Carolina; Additional from 6t .Mattiew M church, Hillsboro', St Peter's church, Washington, $50; B f Little, Little's Mills, I^IUU; St James s church, Hendersonville, $11; Christ churcti, Newbern, *4a 23; citiiens of Beaufort, 85; officers and privates of Col.

The following is the result: Received at New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston,«*- Memphis, burdens that war imposes upon us. Every article ot luxury, every deed or paper relating to the transfer ot real or personal property, promissory notes and bills ot i exchange—every tiling, in short, tliat is suscej'tiblo of being thus charged—should bear its proportion of them, in the form either of direct taxes or stamp duties. In this way a revenue of a couple of huu>ired millions could be raised to secure the iuterest on the heavy war debt that we are incurring, and to leave a large surplus 10 assist in providing for the wants of the government.' A Rich Covntrt.—The salines of Smyth County, in South Western Virginia, are capable of turning out 4,(M.kj,000 bushels of salt per annum for all time 5'J0,0U0 bushels more than are needed for the whole Southern CoHf'ederacy. The adjoining county of Wvllie furnishes the Confederate government with nearly its whole supply of lead. The mines are among Ihe ricli- cst and most productive in the world; the lead of a most rare good quality; the production only limited by the force employed. In the same county is one of the lar- I gest iron foundries in the State, and the government is ; more apprehensive of inadequate supplies of iron than j of any thing else. Extensive preparation has also been i made for the manufacture of saltpetre in Southwestern ! Virginia, a region abounding everywhere in limestone j caves, containing most rich and extensive deposits of > earth strongly impregnated with this mineral. Right through the heart of*this region runs the railway con- I necting our Eastern Stales witii those of the West, who«e 1 civil and military value to the Governiueut cannot I easily he estimated. Truly this is a magnifioeiii country and well worth the watchfu’ protection of the Govtinmeni, which ha- lost all of Western Virginia except this mineral region of the South-west, The Government, it would appear from the complaints of the Virginia press, either think- otherwise or is unable to spare force for the work The Dispatch, from which we condense the above state ments as lo the resources of the South west, says: — “All of Western Virginia being turned over to I’ier- poni, except the Southwest, with its invaluable trea sures, Would any one ii* his senses believe that tliat re gion had been denuded of its own soldiers, and left open and defwnceless, an inviting piey to the enemy'' But tor the fact staring the public in tlie face, so glaring and monstrous a piece of imbecility would be abs'olute- ly incredible. "Such a road, such a country, such a treasury of in dispensable minerals, being abandoned to the enen^y by the Confederacy, what is to be done',' Plainly this; tiie State of Virginia must herself interpose and provide the means requisite to its protection and to ner own salva tion. The delegates ot all that region of country, natu rally offended at the condition in whieh their constitu ents have been left, are devising a plan of State action, such as will meet the demands of the occasion. We trust that their measures will be speedy and effective. No time i.? to be lost, and no expense spared, to make good the tenure of Virginia to at least this portion of her Western domain, " • NORTHERN AND FOREIGN NEWS. Norfolk, Jan. 11.—F.rom the New York Herald of the 9th, we extract the following: , Geo. McClellan was out yesterday, atid attended to business. The staff of Gen. McClellan, the Quarter master's Department and the hospital autiiorities have been unusually active for some days, indicating an im portant movement in some direolion. Our army in Western Virginia continues active. A brilliant affair is announced to have taken place at Blue's Gap. east of Komney. on Tuesday, when a djeitachment of Gen. Kelly’s forces attacked 20K) of the enemy, rout ing them completely. The rebels lost 1-5 killed, two cannon, their wagons, and 20 prisoners, including one commissioned officer. None of the Union soldiers were killed. A force of 300 Union troops, despatched into Tucker county, dispersed 4'X) rebels and captured a large quantity of stores, a commissary, a first lieuten ant and a private soldier. Four of the rebels were found dead on the field, and a large number of wound ed. At last accounts the Union troops were in hot pur suit of the fugitives. The Washington Correspondent of thf Philadelphia Press says: Burnsides’ expedition, which will probably sail with in the present week, will be followed by the most im portant results. It is believed here in well informed circles that its successful landing will be the signal for a general advance. But a short time ago Gen. McClel lan inqtiired of Qen. Porter in what time he could move. Being answered in twenty-four hours, he rejoined that he “wished the soldiers not to be deluded into the belief that they were about going into winter quarters, but to hold themselves in readiness as they would shortly move forward.” Since that lime it has transpired that orders have been given to move via t)ccoquan. .\s the Burnside Expedition will probably ascend the Rappa hannock River, a movement forward via Occoquan will compel the evacuation of the Rebel batteries on the Po tomac aud also give us possession of the terminus of the Richmond railway at .^diiiia (’reek and leave the Con federates at Manassas the choice of two evils—to fall back on R'chi lond or be completely outtianked and cap tured by McClellan's strategy. The N. Y. World says that it is now well understood, from the movements of the rebels, that they were aware of the destination of Gen. Burnside’s fleet. The slory goes that it was talked of in the family of Gen, Thomas, :ind by the daughter communicated to her lover, who is affiliated with the rebels. The destination of the iiuni- side expedition has been changed because of the know ledge tiie rebels acquired ot the point at which it was aimed. In the U. S. Senate the Finance Committee were in structed. and had considered the expediency if report ing a bill for the raising of $l00,t>0'>,00> by direct tax ation; aud in connection therewith, the expediency of collecting telegraph and stamp duties, and duties upon cotton, tobacco and cigars.

Cl^OSET GenekaLS.—An intelligent gentleman who has sons in the Army aud who has visited the ‘-seat of war, ’ writes lo ws 'h'^' following judicious obb«rvations upon the unceasing demand of the stay-at-home Oene- rals of the newspapers, that our army should move for ward and attack the enemy in his entrenchments: •The Richmond papers very often complain of and censure the Confederate Government for the monoto- iiuus policy of defence which has been pursued on the I'ljiomac, and are urging “a forward movement.” The writer it of opinion that our Generals have pursued the true course. There is no doubt but either of them would at once say. we can successfully storm such or such a Work, with a loss of so many men. The writer asks himself, aud let every father put the same ques lion to him»elf: “Aiii 1 willing that my sons should till up the ditch?” Ob.serve, that every post of the enemy, as well an our own, is secured by the most skilfully ar ranged foriificaiions. Those which the writer has seen are generally about twelve feet wide and eight feet deep. One maui in the defence of such works, is equal to ten assailants; nod when the material of our army is -onsidered, few parentb would be willing that their sons fchould encounter such odds. The enemy, on the cou- irary, have an. army composed of just such material as iliey would prefer to till the dii.oh, were it not for the fear of dtfeul alone. Let us hope that all fathers aud relatives will believe, that our able officers are doing all in their power to save the lives of the gallant youth 'juder their care. Every day that we hold the enemy iri uliecK is a victory.” ^I’jcks.—At Richmond, on the ilth.

We shall give a good account of ourselvea whenever the occasion otters. We flatter ourselves that in the event of an engagemeut with the li ankeesi we should after- ir»rd» b« kngwn M g*llaat dard. which we take for granted was from a responsible ni;in, or it woold have been excluded as uiaking a very grave charge against a pubiic oflicer. It luius out from .Mr. Maultsby’s eoufession th.'it tlie outrage complained of was actually committed, .As ,\lr. .Maultiby reiue,'>ts it, we give place lo his le' ter: NViiirKviLLK, C., Jan y •*th, Ib'jJ, .Vfv.',*. }■'. J. ll'ile :Sou:i:—GtuU: — In llie Observer of the 'ith iii-t,, 1 noticed an article headed ".An Oui rage," and I found on reading it, that 1 was the person with others, who had comuiitted tlie outrage of adtui.-i- isiering an oath of allegiance to suudry citizens ot l.'o- lumbus county while taking their lists of tax ible property under an Aci of ilie Congress ot the Contede- raie State* of Atuerica. h appears from your article that some one from ;hia county infurmed liie llaleigh Standard that the Tax Collector uf this District had committed said outrageous act but 1 can inform you that Col Alfred Smith the Assistant Tax Colleclor of this District did no such thing. 1 did it as one of the .As sessors, and inasmuch .^s you are kind. ; I might say otbciousi enough to advise and direct the grand jury to indict said ‘-ofhciotu officer for a misdemeanor,” I would like for you to prosecute the case. It luight be iu'.eresting as well as profitable. The Standaru'a in formant wto regarded tiie conduct ot the oflicer as an outrageous asssiilt upoii him.self aud others, will no Joubt. pay Well lo viudicate tlie laws of his country, ' Why did tie take the oath without objection at the time ^ —two mouths ago',' Wliy did tie submit to it' as fie forced to lake if' Can lie or you lell what crime was , committed t>y tendering an oaili to one wlio had a right ; to ref’M>e inking it but did not. and more especially when tlie oath itself was one which aii irue Soutliein i men deliglit o lake wliether preacnbed by the Conveii liou of itiis State or not"' 1 have not .“cen tiie Standard i lately. In that it may be ex[ilained why its informant ' submitted to so great an outnige wiitioui a n.urmur. It J was an utbcious act of mine but iLasiuucii as the oait. i was not tendered to either of you, 1 hope you will ex ' cuse me for insinuating that it will be equally officious ' in you to indict me for it although I maKe no objection i to your doing so. In justification of Col. AlfreJ Smitii i the .Assistant Tax Collector of this District, who had ; noiliing to dj m administering said oalh, please pub lish the foregoing remarks aU'J oblige J. A, .MAULTStiV. j We don't know that we could punish more etiectually I the ipiperiinetii tone of our correspondent's letter iliau by ! publi-iuing U; so we have only to »dd, that Ihe acts of a public officer are fair subjects of criticism and we iiave seen no reason to modify what we said of .Mr. j .Maiiltsby's acts, when we were not aware of his agency in the matter, .Mr. .Maultsby may think the adminiatra- tion of lest oaths cause of •‘delight'' to “all true South ern men,’’ but ne agree in opinion with the highest au thority in the Stale which refused, almost unanimously, I'only twenty-two of onr hundred and twenty members of tiie Couvention voted for the Test oath oidinauce;) to authorize the administration of such oaths. We thiniv it likely that some of the members of the Couvention are as true to the South as Mr. Maultsby. As to his tunny questions, we presume that the wriler in tiie Standard will answer them if asked to do so. Doubt less Mr. Maultsby can have his name on a})plisation to the Standard. P. S. In regard lo Mr Maullsby's sugge.^tion that ue should proseouie him for iiis outrage upon a citizen ot Columbus, we beg to be excused. Tliat is none of ouv business—any more than it was hi.t business lo admin ister an oalh which no law authorized liiiM to adminis ter. But whilst relieving the evident anxiety on this point, which discloses itself towards the end of his let ter, it is only fair lo let him know that a prosecutor or persecutor will bo after him. A well known character, long known as “Jesse Holmes, the Fool Killer, ’ an nounces through the Milton Chronicle this morning: — “Krom there I Ko lo I'olumbus county, lo look alter Judue ,Asa HigL's’s man rrid-\y, « ho I he-ir li^.s griw n sn grc;;!’ by viriiic nf n Mii.ill uppoinlmfnt, thal whenever swears h man to hist;ix li»t, he ima|!ines himself the whole SlHle of .\ortti I 'arolinii. and ad minisitrs a Tesi »,ith of his own mnking, at the snnie time." readiness to embark immediately for Canada A body of trained nurses on Miss Florence Nightin gale's plan were lo proceed at once to lliililax. The English papers soniinue to teem with articles on the .American question, but as they are mostly con fined lo speculations, on the eve of solution, it is not essential to give them. The London Times stands aghast in contemplating the trefuendous and magnificent vegetation of the Yan kee debt. The Army and Navy Gazette says th.ai there is a pros pect of troufile in India.

LATE.ST WAR NEWS. From MorfoLk.—Norfolk, Jag. 11.—Three light draught gunboats, and the same number of large lake or sound boats arrived in the Roads, yesterday. They were allJilled with troops, and the three former were recognised f>y our informant as a portion of the Burn side Expedition, The troops numbering, as was esti mated, between four and six thousand, were landed at Uid Point We are further informed that the remainder of the Burnside Expedition is expeeted to join those now ilie Roads in the course ot five or six days, and that they will proceed to their dastiuatioa at once. I'iiere .■51,-ems to be but little doubt thal it is intended for tlie Kappahaniiock or James iiivers, or Norfolk, Our iurmani states thal this is tlie prevailing opinion at itie North, an i tli.-it the peofjle of tliatjseciion areq’.iitecon- fi lent that the Buruside Expedition will be the most important in its results of any yet sent out. Tlie negroes at the Point are represented as being worthed very hard, and tlieir treatment in general very bad. Tiiey are sick of their Northern sympathizers, ■itid very unxiousto be again with iheir master The Sulden, under a tlag of truce, visited Old Point yes;erday. She brought up to the city, ou her return, J, W. Zuciiarie, E^q,, who was taken oft an English ves set between Havana and .Matamoras by a U, S. vessel and made prisoner. He was released on the silme day that Messrs. Mason and Slidell were released. Day Hook From the S. C. Coa.il.—Chari.ksto.n. Jan. 10—The V inkee gunboats continue their visits up Broad River and the Coosaw, keeping up an occasional shelling of Some unprotected landing or plantation. On Wednes day some of their cruisers came up as far as Hogg’s Neek and Boyd s Landing on Broad River and complete ly demolished the fine residence of -Mr. J. W. (iregorie at Hogg's Neck, and the residence of Mr. Fripp, Courier. The impression ip becoming very general in our com- niunil'y t.iat the Federals witiidrew from Port Royal Ferry with the view of attacking the defences of Savan nah. in force. The soil of Georgia is as good a place as they can find to measure arms with the Confeder ates, and for one we are perfectly willing lo decide the war by the result—Savannah Republican. French Man-of- War Fired into by the Federal Fleet .Mouu.k, Jaii’y 10.—On Monday last a French man-of- war approached Ship Island under a neutral Bag, for the purpose of business with the French ('onsul at New Orleans, She was fired into by the Feleral fleet and somewhat crippled, but did*not return the fire. The Yankees apologized, but the (.'aptain refused lo accept the apology, lie came to Bay St. Louis, and telegraphed lo New Orleans. On Monday there were nearly thirty Federal vessels at Ship Island, .After this affair all but five left, and they are very quiet. Movcmtnl of Troops.—Several regiments have been ordeied at different points on the coast within a few day.'i. Col, .Avery’s regiment is quartered at Newbern tor the present, we believe. Col. Leaventhorpe’s will bivouack in the neighborhood of Wilmington. These are fine regiiuents, and will do good service, Raleigh Standard, 11 Ih. FAyKTTKVILLK MARKET.—Jan. 13.
