GENKRAL ASSEMBLY
This body assembled in Raleigh on Tuesday, a bare
)iiorum bein^ present—in the Senate 27, and in the
Hou-ie til members. With coiuiiieudable diligence both
Hou«cf appointed comiuittee8 to inferm the Governor of
their readiness to receive any comruunication from him.
He also w^s ready and at once sent in the following
,Mesf»fre. which, with the aeoorapanying documents,
was read: —

•"f'le a matter ot seriour- coiii-ern with th® Treasurer
Faction.—Suppo'e we were to indulge & habit of aa-
dailing the President of the Confederacy, not only for
everytibng he has done that did not altogether square
with our own ideas of policy, but also for what we might
choose to imagine he will do—what sort of patriots
would our readers consider us? Should we not justly
subject ourselves to the charge of doing what we could
to excite a feeling of hostility to the powers that be,
and thus to weaken, instead of endeavoring to strength
en, the cause which needs the united efforts of all men
of all parties? Such are our views; and acting upon
them, we have passed by without complaint many^things
that the President has done that we did not appr(»ve of,
have praised him for what wo did approve of, and have
given him credit for a sincere desire to promote the pub
lic good and to carry the Confederacy safely through
this great struggle, "’e never belonged to bis party
till since this war b«g-in. and shall not be surprised to
find curst Ives separated from him and his party when
it is over. But until if is over we are with him and all
others who are earuestly striving to secure our inde-
pendeuce. *
With this preface we would like to call att^ention to a
couple of articles in two of our State papers. The first
is from (he 'Winston t^eniinel, as follows.—
“The Lerrhlniure —-As has been announced, the Legis
lature will convene in extra session, on the 3Uth inst
Wha% that body will do when once again in session, may
be bard to conjecture. But judging from its former
a late State Journal, but are unwilling to devote any
more space to the subject. The Winston Sentinel itself
has another long diatribe agiinst what it s%ys ‘‘has been
falsely denominated Con^rvative policy,” full of mattet
calculated, if believed, to foment disoontent in the State,
and to encourage the enemy if it should reach them.
And these evils are haiarded in the hope, apparently,
of making a little party capital!
Tub Haukas Cohpus.—We have procured the Opin
ions of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and his
associate Judge Battle, on the question of concurrent
jurisdiction of the State with the Confederate Courts in'
cases of habeas corpus arising under the action of Con
federate officers. This important subject is treated
with great clearness by both those eminent Jurists,
seeming to us to leave no shadow of doubt of the cor-
roctness of tht conclusion to which they have arrived.
We publish the opinion of the Chief Justice to-day, and
regret that we are compelled to postpone that of Judge
Battle till our next. Judge Manly has, we regret to
say, been confined to his room by sickne.ss for a week
or two, and so could not hear the cause.
Qeoroia.—Those newspapers in and out of North
Carolina which are doing their best to bring odium on
our State, fy asserting that it is singular in having de
serters and resisters of the conscription, mijtht be en
lightened by turning (heir attention to other States,
career, we hanily need expect anythini; valuable to (he i even (o Georgia, which, next to North t'arolina, has

not what it eoi' ’ ilect at this time beneficial to our

••We will not predict what will be the programme

cise il uuiier circunistanees so ditfVrent from any con-
tcmj ,.:ed by the tra.iicr- of the Ordinance. To con-
liuur to recei'.e them after this partial repudiation of
C-sngress and after the Lepi-lature and the Metropolitan
Bank- of Virginia had refused them, w-mld of course
have Bubjecteil that olHeer to the daiiger of filling the
Treasury v.itu notes greatly depreciated it might be, or
perhips entirely uncurr nt. There waa no telling how
soon the other banks of the country migiit follow the
example of those of lli'.'hmond, nor what action other
State-i luight take .-Vnd ot course it being impossible
to fund u all and iuconvenient lo fund any so long as it
would pass, il might be rushed into this State and paid
into ur ^rea^ury. Such result would be ruinous alike
to hi-r creditor?, her officers and her soldiers. This
created a responsibility too great to be borne by the
Trea?arer without Legislative sanction, and the matter
is therefore submitted to you.
After a careful survey of the situation 1 confidently
rec 'tiimend to you to provi-ie for the continued recep
tion of these n >ies as the safer and more honorable
■ irse. So far no State hn8 followed the example of
t irginia, aud no banks outside of Kichmond in the
whole i onfederacy have refused them. Our example
may have a moat happy iniluence upon the contemplat
ed action of others. No more deadly blow could be
stricken agiic\t our cause :han the repudiation of our
currency, and that the honest, oid fashioned, debt-pay
ing Slate of Njrih Carolina should be among the first
U: dishonor the money pai-1 her citizens foi their sub-
■tftnce, and her soidier- l^r their blood, is something I
-hould regret living to see. If one is.-ue of Confederate
'tea be good, then all are good, since the same honor
is pledged fi r their ultimate rcdemf tion. It is excecd-
;ngiy jangerous to lake the first step toward dishonor
ing, in the sligu'est degree, our enormous volumes of
paper currency. The aeiion of one forces the action of
another; when, if all stood firm, the public credit might
be saved. A refusal to receive ihest notes, from what
ever cause, and however weigtity the reason, would
create among ihe non-cominercial classes the most gene
ral alarn: and tven distress, and the want of confidence
would become universal. The danger can now be slop
ped; if we fill to check it, in my opinion it will be be
yond remedy.
The suggestions of the Treasurer in regard lo the
manner ul providing against any probable loss are well
worthy of vour consideration, and 1 have no doubt will
have great weight in your deliberations.
Uesiring to detain you but a few days at this busy
and inconvenient season. I refrain from bringing before
you various other matters which might well claim your
attention at a regular session. I will therefore only
cai* to your noli.ie one more su’^'ject. The I’resiJent of
the Confederate Stales having c.illed upon me for seven
thousand militia, it becomes important to amend the
existing militia laws in certain particulars, both to fa
cilitate their raising and e^uip^aent with all possible
-peed, an-i to enlarge the lists of exempts for the proper
protection of the State. Iu regard to tuese amendments
; will take pleasure in consulting with and assisting
j, ‘.'ir Military Committee.
Permit me to thank you fw your prompt assembling
at my '.all and to congratulate you upon the improved
condition of our alfairs. State and National. Since
your adjournment our gallant armies have again won
great victories and driven back, with slaughter and
'.‘■jnfusion, the vast forces of the en“my. The danger of
euffering^for lack o' food has happily passed away, and
ihe gooiness and mercy of God has visited us with a
harvest almosi unparalleled, while the growing crops

;ngri, and struggle with renewed strength for the honor

' he .Mess'ige was ordered to be printed.
.Mr. Grissom proposed a joint commitiee of five of the
■ ).«e and three of the Senate to consider that part of
the .Message relating to the currency. And Mr. Sher
wood propose-i a similar committee on the part relating
to -he militia law. Both propositions were agreed to.

but
will strike a heavy blow towards a general repudiation
of (’onfcderate money. It will render the scanty funds
in the hands of the soldier's wifa and orphans, power
less to buy bread with. The very idea of its assemblage
for such a purpose has already dam'iged those issues a
heavy per cent. Look out for its actiou upon themi
*'Uut we arr prepared f ir another sc€':e. The body
that was to ignore all partyism in the Stale is a politi
cal machine—the getter up of party strife. We shall
expect lo se? peace measures ad pted, not however to
settle the diliiculties between the North and South, but
to carry the Congressioual eloctious which are to come
off this fall In our humble ju lgnient the introdujtion
of a popular humbug will be the main work that will
constitutv the labors of the session. The Conservalivei'
will never leave a matter of so great importance as the
election of members to Congress to the people them
selves.”
I he Message of Gov. Vince does him honor. It is
worthy of him and ot the Sta'e, proposing in a straight
forward manner a straigni-forward, honest policy. Iu
a few words he iias stated the pro lic iment in which ihtt
unfortunate action of the Confederate Congress and
Secretary, and of the Legislature and Uauit: or Vii giuto,
has placed this State, aud indeed the country. .\nd in a
few words he h.is indicated the course whicn “the honest,
Old-fashioned, l.-bt-paying State of North Carolint’
ihould pursue, to check the evil and at the same ti-ne
"iive her own cituens from loss, and the Confedency
i'self from a deadly blow in its most vital part. We
/ .-“t that his recommendation will be adopted with entire
-uanimity.
.Vs to the Militia liws, we are are not prepared to
express an opinion, for we know not wnat is proposed.
We regret e.xceedingly that the pre-octfupation of our
-^lumns and the late reception of the Message oblige
iirt to defer -'Ir. Treasurer Worth s elaborate report till
'^ur next. It is, as ttie Governor says, an able and iu
teresting statement of me difficulties of the case; but
we cannot concur in the plan which he suggests “with
great diiildence, ’ viz: to suspend the oolleciion of the
State and county taxes till after the meeting of Oon-
gresa, in the meantime forbidding the revenue otlicers
to. receive the old issues; aud memorializing Congress
to repeal or modify its law, or to provide for exchang
ing with the State new for the old issues which may be
recfived. It was .Mr. Worth’s duty to recommend
some plan by whicti the Treasury could be saved from
embarrassment and loss, bu( we greatly prefer the Uov
ernor’s recommendation to provide for the continued re
ceipt of the old issues.
Tax CoLLKUxioNS.—A correspondent calls our atten
tion to an error in a paragraph on this subject in a late
issue of the (Joserver. What we intended to say
waa tkat the titaie Treasurer had aduued the sheriffs
and had not ordertd them as was supposed; be not having
to nuk.t «uoh aa order )v>c sberUls lo obey U.
Now the above looks (o us like the very worst speci
men of the spirit of faction th-it we have seen since the
war bezan. And what makes it the more curious is
that it conies from a paper that, not six months ago,
deliberately proposed, as •‘an alternative,” the repudi
ation of the Confederate debt, including, of course, “the
scanty funds in the hands of the Foldier’s wife and or
phans.”
If il was ••hard lo conjecture” what the Legislature
will ilo, why not wait until it does something? Why
en-ieavor to excite a prejudice against it by predicting
that i( will do a vast deal of “vil, in'luding killingCon-
federai.' money, striking a blow tow irds repudiation,
and adopting ‘-peace mea-ures” for the low purpose of
carrying the Ccnpressi nal elections? Surely, as a
branch of the government it is entitled to a decent re
spect. to bejudjj^J only by what it may do, and not by
what Bomebcdy may fancy it may be inclined to do.
Still more, its meuibfr-^ are entitled to be regarded as
earnest and faithful friends of the Confederacy, and as
enemies to its enemies, ready lo do all tha; patriots can
to sustain (be former and defeat the latter We main- |
tain that they have shown this di«position by their
course as men and as Legislators, and defy successful
contradiction of that j.roposition, not by general denun
ciations but by specifications of facts. We repeat that
we d«fy the production of proof that the present Legis
lature, at eiihrr of its former sessions, has failed of its
duty to the Confederacy and the State. Its members
represent the people ot North Carolina, selected by iheai
because of their concurrence in sentiment with the peo
ple; and to doubt their loyalty is to doubt the loyalty
the p'^ople themselves, who have shown too much
devotion to the cause to be obnoxious to such a doubt.
Tne Sentinel thinks that the Confederate law which
the Governor gives as a reason for calling the extra ses-
bion wa.“ passed before the Legislature adjourned, and
that it should have beeu attended to then. If the law
had been so p-i.sied, ius evil workings might uot so soon
ave become apparent. But it was not passed till after
the Legislature i»djou'ned. .\ud this fact being sus
ceptible of ascertainment, should have been examined
into before the Sentinel endeavored to prejudice the
public mind by misstating it.
But how can the Legislature “kill the old issues of
Confederate money,” even supposing it to bo so inclin
ed? Would that be the effect of refusing to receive
them'.' If so, the Seutinel should hurl iki aaaihemas,
not against our Legislature for what it may possibly do,
but against the Confederate Secretary of the Tre^tsury
aud Congress and the Legislature and Banks of Vir
ginia, for what they huce iouo It may uot be known
lo the Sentinel, but it is nevertheless true, that the
Secretary is so bent upou having these old issues funded
that he has refused to make any arrangement to receive
hem iu any other way. He will not give the State ur
ndividualH notep of the new issue in exchange for those
old issues. What is the Stale to do-wnh them, there
fore, if it shall cou’.inue lo receive them in collecting
its revenue, as thi .iW now re'juired? Taia is an impor
tant ijuestion, that ihe Governor and Slate Treasurer
in ^y well hesitate to decide without first cousultiug the
I'iW making power, especially when they would loubt-
le-8 be abused by such party papers as the Seutinel for

federate currency, wnetuer of the new or old issues,
hetU'!r the State ctiu use them at present or not, aud
whether .Mr .Memmiager wisnes it or uot. The e
can far better afiord to lose the interest it \7nl iiave to
pay in cousemieuce of having to lay by tties.i old issue
notes, than it can afford to have its citizens lose by
heir depreciation in the hands of the people, or still
worse, that the great c.*use should sutler by Mr. .Mem-
minger's unfortunate and obsiinate blundering, to call
il tiy liie gentlest naaie. He is responsible, and uot our
Legislature, for the depreciation of the old issue notes,
for he induced Congress to pass the law annulling the
coHtract made by the governnient with the holders
of those notes On their face it is declared that
hey shall be fundable in eighl per cent, bonds. The
law which authorized their issue declared that they
should be so fundable. This was a contract between
the government and the holders of the notes. The Secre
tary induced Congrass to pass another law repudiating
that contract. Hence the depreciation, the alarm, the
panic. Our Legislature may arrest this panic. Il
did not Create it.
We would implore the press, of all old parties, to dis
card these most impolitic as well as unjust assaults up
on Legislative and Executive authorities —to give oredit
10 all for patriotic intentions, at least, finding fault only
when some actnal evil or wrong may have been done,
and (hen only when it is necessary to avert some other
wrong or evil
As for the Legislature now in session, it doubtless

speech of Qen. Toombs, which, if it had been made by
any North Carolinian, would have been pronounced
treasonable by the Knquirer and its sat,^llites. He pro
nounced the C(?n8crip(ion act unconstitudohal; consider
ed the tax act 'inw'se in i(f provisions: impressment an
exploded idea of the dark 9ges—foolish, absurd and un
just; oppt scd State endorsement of Confedera(e bonds;
uderly opposed martial law and any suspension of (he
wri( of habeas corpus, &C. Mingled with all (bis were
expressions (we doub( not entirely sincere) of devotion
to the cause of (he Sou(h. His professed object wis (o
maintain the cause only by conslitution-il and fair mea
sures.
Princu'Lks and Ma,\i.ms ok War.—Gen. Beauregard
has compiled and published whal is said to be a useful
little book under the above title We have not seea it,
(it appears to have been publishe-1 for (he use of the
officers in his command,) but the Kichmond Whig is
especially pleased with the pa-ja^ges in which officers
are charged to look after Ihe health and comfort of
their men. “When an officer is o;i active service in the
field, everythiny connected with the ditily life of his men
should be an object of constuut tittentwn; no detail is be
neath him ” He must ••cl ithe their backs, feed their
bellies, go am-ing them aud himself look after their
comfort at the end of a march and uuver feci himself at
liberty to attend to his own wants until he has seen his
men engaged iu cooking their meals; likewise before a
march, an officer should lake care that none of his men
leave their encampment or bivouac without as good a
meal as circumstances permit.”
These are right views. We fear they are not suffi
ciently euieruined or enforoed by officers of any grade,
generally speaking. There are no doubt some who look
to such matters—and we believe that Gen Beauregard
has the reput at ion of bei ng one of thom. But such cases
are, we {ear, Ihe exoepiiou, ii5t ihe rule. Iu the r renoh
service it is S(*id that the utmost possible care is taken
of the private Solliers, not only iu camp but on the
march, extending lo the most minute oversight of the
supply of wa'er, the posture iu rest, the filling or ti-ig-
ging of the energies of every particular mau. If equal
care were bestowed upon our troops, we suould scarcely
hear of men falling down by the roadside, with their
longues hanging out, and of their even dying of the ex
haustion ot a long and rapid march, overpowered with
heat and dust and without water.

WiNDBR Hospital, June 18.
Messrs. Editors: Perhaps it would be interesting to
some of your readers to know something of the condi
tion of the sick and wounded here After visiting the
Wards in each Division, I can vouch for it the noldier
is well care>l for. The first Division is intended for the
Georgians, the second for Mississippians and Alabami
ans, the third for North Carolinians, the fourth for
South Carolinians, the fifth for Tennessee and Ken
tucky: all of which are attended by attentive Surgeons
and euergetio Stewards who neither spare time nor li-
bor t© comfort the inner-man. Upon the whole this is
a very pleasant place. Every evening the soldiers visit
noble Jeems in great numbers which is quite a pleasure
to the weary siddier. As we stood on the banks of the
river and gazed upon tha water dashing over the rocks
I could not help thinking what changes have takeu

FOR THE
h, Huniavilli*, N. C., on the :ilst of June, ot ‘’amp
fever, Capt. Neal Pjohanni.H of Co. I, 28th Ke»’t N. C.
Troop-i, in the .Mtli year of his age. As ft man, he was
honorable and upHgt!'. and was universally beloved and
respected. .As a friend, he w»» trits and unchangeable;
a-> a hiisbnn i. most tender, kind and affectionate; as a sol-
lier, brave and unfiinching, however great or imminent
the d>i«ger, and as a Christian meek, patient and resign
ed Me Bulfered long, but boro it patiently, indeed, so
reinarkati was his patience, that not a single com-
plfiint was he heard to utter. Baptized, by the writer,
at hi.t owu request, he confessed the faith of Christ cru
cified. ond died, as none but the Christian can die,
peacf ful and full of hope, with an abiding, unshaken
trust in his Redeemer. His language a few hours be
fore his death, when fully conscious of his approaching
end, was, ••! have one more battle to fight, and than I
am going to my home—sweet home.” That battle has
been fouifht, and we humbly trust that he passed through
it more than conqueror, through Him who loved him,
and gave Himself for him.
‘•SolJiir, rest! thy warfare’s o’er.
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking;
Dream of battle fields no more,
Days of dangi-r, nights of waking.”

.A.muf.ws, of Chatham County, a member of Co. A. 5th
Reg'; N. C. Troops, .\nother name to swell the list of

the altar of patriotism. ' This lamented young mau had
returned to his Rrgiment, from Washington City, where
he had been a prisoner four month?, only three weeks,
wheL he was in an engagement, and being wounded
was removed to Richmond, where he died of Typhoid
Pneumonia .Among the numerous deaths we have been
ciilled upon to mourn since this dark war cloud has
o'erspread our horizon, none has left a more profound
or aching void iu the affection of a circle of friends
and relatives than (hat of our amiable friend. Natur
ally of a quiet and reserved disposition, his circle of
acquaintances was not large, but all who knew him
loved him as a brother. Words fail to do our bidding
wliifcu we chII upou them to paint the deep anguish
which his death has brought'upon ihe hearts of his re
latives; but we know from the messages of love, and
entreaties to his aged mother and affectionate sisters
who eould uot be with him, to meet him in Heaven, that
the light of paradise gladdens his freed spirit. Many
Sowers bloom in the wreath of affection which encircles
his memory—many hearts ache at the mention of the
name of the departed one; but we would not have him
back ag:iin. happy angel, basking in the sunshine
of a Saviour's smile, we would not call him from his
tfiUh^tr's prpuence. would j^o to him. 8.

• ^itnchester—Winchester, Va., June 27th.—It
IS difficult to sift from the thov.«a„d reports that reach
us, anything that can be taken as ab3o\ut«iy true We
give only such as we have every reason to believ*
reliable. Our army certainly is all over the Potomac,
and Gen. Lee was certainly at Hagerstown yesterd ly.
Chambersburg, Pa., has been held by Gen. Rodes for
some ten days The militia thero threw away* their
arms and fled upon the first approach of our cavalry.
Some ten thouaand stand of sm-ill arras were captured
there, with a large number of fat cattle, also a consider
able number of slock cattle hawe beeu driven through
here for pasture up the V’alley. We also saw in one
drove 5o0 horses taken from the Cumberland V'alley.
Some two or three hundred negroes were captured in
and near Chambersburg.
We have the report this morning (which comes so
direct that in ordinary times no one would question it,)
that Qen. Ewell certainly holds Harrisburg, the panic-
stricken militia having fled at the first sound cf (he
shrieking shell as it burst over them. The statement of
the officer, who professes to bo direct from there, is
that the people are very submissive, as many as three
thousand having come forward and asked to be paroled,
pledging themselves to give no infor.-n ition that might
endanger our command
McClellan is said to be in command of (he Pennsyl

Latest Xorthern Xews.—Richmond, Juna 80—The
New i’ork Herald of (he 26ih insi. has been received
in this city, and from it we learn (hat our advance was,
at the latest dates, six miles beyond Carlisle, in the
direction of Harrisburg. Now as Carlisle is eighteen
miles from Harrisburg, our forces must be within twelve
miles of that city. We may well imagine the terror of
the yankees, when we recollect bow horror-stricken
they were when we had advanced no farther than Cham
bersburg. The panic, indeed, so far from eubgiding,
appears to be gathering strength with every day (hat
our troops remain on the soil.—Dispatch
PsTtRsDi’BO, June 30.—Northern ilatcs of tha 27th
received.
The Herald eays the enemy progresses slowly but
with a large force into Pennsylvania, .\ffiirs at Har
risburg bear a more quiet aspect, though the country
people with droves of cattle and horsts ar.- rushing into \
the city in large numbers. Muc'i perplexity exis s as i
to the exact rouie (he Rebels h.iv- taken Early's di- j
vision is at Oetlysburg acd Rodos’ division at Chi»m- I
bersburg. j
The Herald ptibLshes news from Port Hudson. A \
second assault was made ou Port Hudson on the 1 lih j
instant by the Union troops and they were again disas- I
trously repulsed. The loss of field oflcers was very |
large m kill-.id and wouuded amouuting to no less than i
five Colonels. The Federals, though repulsed, fought j
bravely. Gen. Bank.s has not force enough lo accom
plish what he daringly attempts, and wants reinforce- |
mentg. It was expactei that another assault would be
made ou the I'Jih.
Th«j latest from Vicksburg is to the 22d. Everything
was going on favorably, and nivigaiiou was closed up
to .Memphis.
The destructive operations of the Rebel privateers in
Southern waters continued unabated. The Herald says j
the ocean is lit up by the Rebel sea devils. Four more I
vessels have beeu destroyed within the past day or two.
One was a large side-wheel steamer. Three rebel pi
rates, a Urge steamer, a b u k and a three masted
schooner were hard at work off the Bar of Fuudy. The
jierchants of Boston oft'er a reward of ten thousand
dollars for the capture of the bark iiacoay. The .\la-
