.Mouk Sl.\ni)kks of North C.\rolina.—In the speech
delivered by Col. Corcoran on his arrival at Washington j five years, who have not
from Richmond, we find the following passage; —
“He had come from North Carolina. [From the
prison at Salisbury ] Although that Slate has 30,tlOO
nien in the field, one-half of them, if free to speak,
would ypeak in favor of returning to the Union, but
their State pride anil blind love for State institutions will
cause them to fight well in the ranks until we can give
them assurance that we will seud to them jis well as to
j the other States a sufficient number of I'nioti men around
I wh.mi they can ralh'." j
Corcoran had evidently been reading the anti-Vance j
papers. If he had road the others he wo\iid have found
that North Carolina had sent (>0,000 men to the field, j
before the conscription, every man voluntarily' there. i
and that a« Mr. Ha'lfrer well expressed it, “There is in |
North t'arolin.a no Union feeling,” either in the army or !
elsewhere. |
Mnj 'r V opdes, another exchanged prisoner vfho spoke, j
them one declaring that the Secretary of the Navy does
not j'ossess the cotiftdeuce of Congress or of the country.
Laid on the table. There was a great deal of discus
sion concerning the Navy Department. ,T«id finally a
resolution was a'toplcd lirecling an investigution.
On llufrsday, iu the Senate, tlie House resolution f ir
Naval investigation was ado{>ted. So also was the bill
amending fit* Conscript ,\ct, as follows;
1 That all white men who are re-.idents of the Con-
led er ate States. bet een tlie ages of eigiiteen and thirt V-
already tioeii enrolled shall be
immediately enrolled under tht' instructions heretofore,
or which may herejifier be given liy the Secrt lary of

found, whether within the State or oounty of their re:-i-
deHce or not; and such ptM'sons. when s > rnrollel, shall
be included in ihe i>rov!siow« of the .above recited act as
fully as if enrolled under that act. witliin the Stutes of
which they may be residents; jTovideil. that this act siiall
not extend to any member of a military organization,
under any State l:iw. while h(‘ remains in actual service,
without the limits of the Slate of which he is a citizen:
prvvtth'il, further, that tlie 1‘rtsident is tiuthorized to
suspend the execution of this act or the act to which
tliis is an amendment, or any sjieciai jirovision or pro-
visinns of said acts, in any loc.ality wlieri* he believc.-
Micli .Huspen-ioti will promote the jmblic interest.
In the House, a bill was jvissed aiithorizing the -ip-
