Tu* PuHaasoY; Tax. .\ni> Militabt L.%ws —Thelag
ging mail hc^ at length brougLt ub tb« very imporlant
measures adopted by roogress at the' olose of th« Ses*
eion. They are very thorough. Perhaps they oannet
bn better described thaa in the brief aentenees of the
Biohmond E^^aminer, wliioh, being r.o friend or admirer
of either the Congi'vss or the Admlaiairation, yet awards
high credit to them in tha.followiDg:—
“They are the most vigorous acts of legislation ever
»tt»mptcd on *bis oontinent, and will prove a« e)ual in
their operation ao circawstanocs would.'perhaps, admit.
We think ttey will at least be sure to fulfill the ohicf
objects,—the reduction of the curroncy and the support
of the army. Much may be pardoned if theee things
are done. These laws will, of ccurse. fail fe give uni
versal saticifaction; but that oould only be attained by
acts which would fill tbo Army without putting any man
in the ranks and turn p»per into silver dollars without
diminishing their numbe>r. Unfcrtiinately ‘this is im
possible; and we are inclined to think that Conrresa has
done the best that could be expected in the present
situation.”
For ourselves, having no favorite measures, and feel
ing only aa ardent desire for the success of the cauee,
we have been prepared at all times to give a generous
support to the conolusiwns arrived at by Concrera That
bo^y acd the aJminiptratioH combine as much of talent,
and patriotipm as can well be ooilected lo^ethen they
have a fall view of all tbe oiroumstanccp, fail infcrma
tion of the means of thV; country and of the require,
ments of the public s rvice. It was their diUy to pre
scribe the requisite mears of carrying on the war-—it is
the people’s duty to CQD’rihnte tKn«c cie»in3 And so
far as we are concerned we shall do that cheerfully,
and exhjrt all oth. vi lo Jo Uk«wiKe. The operation is
a Ovwtly one to all, but i* i.s fa- leun costly than subjuga
tion or submission w 1114 i'C T.He fur'ne’* takes ft pfirt,
the latter all.
We earae'tiy invite ciir rc'^der:’, fr.oretore, to meet
cheerJnlly and protuplly all the reiaii c «u‘UttJi>f the laws
CompfainitJg and frHfulnces, even my>pof inft there bo
any occasion for th m, will uot xuenJ liiO ma..fer; far
from it A cheerful corapli-ince wiil. beyond .Vil ques
tion. The burdens .will not last al^ajs, but will b*
vastly diminished when peace shall aji un bless our laud.
Then our gallaut men will return to their homes, loaded
with honors, to cheer the family circle Then the teem
ing earth will again bring forth rich haivests to bless
both poor and rich with abundance. And then a far
•mailer share of taxes will be needed to support the
Confederacy and pay its debts Every man and every
dollar now devoted to the cause ocntributes to conquer
a peace—ehortens the period of war. This is the criti-
oal moment. Tho men sud the monev are all'that are
wanted, under God, to bring the war to a practical end
this spring. A few \iecidcd victories will accomplish it^
for the heart of the yankee nation is no longer in it.
The acts will be found in another part of this paper.
Th* HaBKAS CoBi'U'9.—It will be seen that Congress
has authorised the Prs-aident to suspend this writ He
has not done so as yet, but as he asked the authority, it
cannot be doubted that he will exercise it. We hav^
questioned ike policy of the suspension, but Congress
and the President have the exclusive right to judge as
to both tho policy and necessity. The is undoubt
ed. The people have themselves conferred it upon Con
gress in the constitntion. W? trust that the power so
conferred, if exerted at all, wiil not be abured The writ
has been heretofore suepen'led by Coogrese without com
plaint from any quarter, and witho t, so far as we know,
a single case arising under it It may be soaeain. True
men have nothing to fSar from.the suspenEioM.
COIORBSS.—Congress adjourned on Thursday at noon
We make ao detail of the closing proceedings, for they
are embodied in the four laws published in full in to
day’s Observer. Of othejr proceedings we note tha adop
tion of an address to the people and a report from a se
lect oomroittee on yankee outrages in Eastern North
Carolina. These will clainj place hereafter. The pro
voking failures of the mails from Wednesday to Satur
day eveaicg last have made it impossible to crowd in
to-day more than the four laws of most immediate in
terest.
The vote on the Military Bill in the House was 44 to
38. Messrs Kenan, Lauier and McLean of this Sta^e
voted for, and Messrs Arringtoa. Ashe, Bridgets, Jai-
ther, McDowell, and Smith against it
f ITS Ei8 Cask Exactlt.—Before the full copy of
the currency act W4S received hero, we heard a respect
able citizen of this couuty complaining of it for not
giving a holder of treasury notes the optiiTn, instead of
funding them in four per cect boiida, to give one-half
of his notes and receive the new treasury notes fsr tbe
other half. He said that this would be a most popular
•oheme, that a vast majority of the people would prefer
it, and that it would make tLe fortu..e of a member of
Congress who would get it through at the next ses-
sioB. Well, the identioal plan U provided for in the
aet, only that the government is satisfied with taking
one third instead of one-half It wi'.l,be seen that a
jcnan is allowed to fund in four per oect. bonds or to
keep his treasury not^js in circtilatioB as long as he may
please, at two-thirds of their face. We are glad that
every body is allowed a choice; and though some oarp-
ing people may say it is but a choice of evils, all
should consider from w^^t greater evils than either
it is intended to save them.
The telegraphic synopsis o.f the currency act led io a
general supposition that nearly the whole currency waS
to be retired before the Idtcf April. It will be seen
that it is not so. None of the 1, 2 aod 5 dullar notes
are interfered with at present; and the others may etil! be
held and circulated after the 1st of April at 66^ c.r.ts
on the dolUr. It will not at all sarprtas 113, howevrr,
if those cents will, beforo long, buy as much as the
100 tow will. Certainly they will be worth as much,
for the country will owe tho ihird less of debt.
ImPoktant Movements, ir Thub —It is stated that
Qen. Preston of the army sailed from a Confederate port
early in January, duly accredited as Minister from tho
Confederate States to Mftximilian, the new Emperor of
Mexico, and instructed to make a treaty with him. based

A Nobl* Libbealitv.—We some time ago meotiezied
that Harriu Tyeor, Esq , of Moore county, had present
ed to the Ri‘lief Committee ia this town, a barrel of flour
for distribution among the indigent familitg of scldiers.
We are now infnrtaed that Mr -Tysor last week sent to
the Comtrittee two more barrels for the sftme benevo
lent objeci. It IS not often th .t a gpntU-’r.rin is f.iun l
with a heart 90 Lirge as sot only lo contribute gri atly
to the relief of the needy in bis own neighborhood nnd
county, bat to (?;o further and help those'"f oth(.r OMn-
ties.
Mr. Tysor is what the Raleigh Stsndard would call a
“Destructive”—thnt is, be wafi r.n old Wf ie and Union
man, never was a secesBionit.', anfl ie not naw a srcee
aionist, but is an ardent supporter cf t»ie war for in
dependence and of those who, wi the Coafcderatf and
CoTTOif Dithbomd.—Those statMUMB who have Al
ways affirmed that Aaerioan cotton wm king, an4 ooold
do what it pleased with all the world, may begin to s^,
from certain etatistioa. presented by the London Times,
how little powei> this king really has. In the first tea
months of 1861, there WM imported iato EngUad 781r
266,400 lbs. of Anierioan ootton. In-the corresponding
month of 186S the amount was only 4,800,000 lbs. This
enormous falling off was expected to bring millions of
English operatives to a point of starvation, to reduce
the trade of England ruinously, to bring its wealth to
poverty, and even to shake the foundations of the gov
ernment itself. Suoh were the visions which loatad
through the brains of our proud people. What is'the
reality? The only particular in which these fancies have
)>een realised, and in that but to a trifling extent com
paratively, fs in the suffering of the operatives. Instead
of trade being ipjuricusly affected, it was never more
prosperous, and the government appears ^0 be as solid
and sound as ever. The exportations of n^nufaclures for
1B61 amounted to £105,000,000 sterling, and in I86S to
£llt).c00,000. In tbe single month of October last the
exports rose to £'6,000,000, against ijl0,000,000 in 1862
and £11,000,000 in 1861. The imports of cotton from
all parts of the world have been less thr.n half as much
as in 18il, but tho price of the goods manufactured
from it has so advanced that those manufoctures pro-
duo.^d £30,080,083, against £30,837,703 iu 18G1. Linen
and woolen goods have also largely advanced, as well
as all the implements of war. So that tracle has thrived
decidedly. • And to help tbe matter, the last crops in
En(rl»!*d were so abundant l>bat she has had to import
only £9.000,000 of breadstuffs, against £16,080,000 last
year Another new source of England’s prosperity is
the stijnulus given to the plN)dnoti«n of ootton in iis
colonies. ^n this point, the Richmond Ez^tniner, tak
itlg tbo London Tjm'es for authority, says:—
• Tiio prosperity of North Ameri^ will have received
its quietus from the day when Southern sluvery shall be
overtlw'own. American ootton has ceased to monopo
lize t; e European markets; and will never resume its
control there again until the culture itself ia resumed
iu thete Suieb, with tb? same labor which fofmerly
enaMvd our plmters to uudersell the world Tho 3bea{>.
excelKnt cotton of America being no longer in the
European markets, the d'jar, inferior cotton of other
countries «dw fiuds reudy sale at high prices. The
cotton cuUivtktioQ, heretefore unremunerativo iu thoee
5ther countries, has suddenly become immensely profit-
tbie, and iigypt, Noith «^\fri«a, Turkvy and India are
all plitnting heavy crops. The receipts from these
countries, exclunive of India, had run up to*738,904
cwt. in 18C‘i, from 227,1*9 cwt. in the preceding year;
bad increai^ed, that is to say, two hundred fold. The
inore^ed receipts from all sources in 1804 will almoet
co.mpeneate for the entire loss of the American crop.
In a short time, the cotton tulture in these countries
wiil have been established on a firm basis^ and if by
that time slavery shall have suffered a paralysis in
.America, tbe buoyant prosperity whieh this continent
so long enjoyed will have bid it a final farewell. We
•hall then see what will have become ot the imperial
commerc*» of New York; what employment the ubiqui
tous Yankee will find for his shipping; what resources
of wea th, power and prosperity lie in Yankee work
shops and Northw'estern quarter-seedon farms.
“When this coniinent shall have lost the capacity to
drive the cotton of other countries out of the great
markets with its own, by affording it cheaper and of
better quality, that wonderful material pro«>rerity,
which has marked our career for fifty years, will also
have been lost. Our industry will then sink to the
common levcU and faithful mirrors of our internal
condition will b3 furnished by interior Brazil, Russia
or Germany ”
Rxmoval of Pri80nks£.—A letter from Sandusky,
Ohio, Feb’y 12th, to tha^ew York Herald, “States that
the Confederate prisons at Camp Chase, Ohio, Camp
Douglas, 111, and those at Indianapolis, Ind., and Rock
Island, III , are already nearly or quite depopulated,
their thousands of inmates having been sent forward to
the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. And a Baltimore
letter giv^s a lon^ account of the selection by lot of 3^4
of the ol&cers on Johnson’s Island, and their trip to
Baltimore, dud ifcenoe in a boat supposed to be destined
for Fortress .Monroe. The only names mentioned are
those of Qen. Jeff. Thompson and Capt. Breckinridge.
Tbe whole trip was managed with great secreey, so that
it is doubted if a single word was spdken to one of the
prisoners by any one except tbe guard. Eight of the
prisoners managed to escape from the cats, two of them
by jumping off while the oars were in motion, and six
by cutting a hole in the side of a car wiih their pen
knives and getting out while the guards’ backs were
turned.' These last got off in Maryland and it la scp-
posed would readily escape by the assistance of the
many who sympathiae with them in that State. It Is
not known what is the purpose in bringing them to the
South, whether to exchange or not. There are said to
be 2300 offioers etiU left on Johnson’s isUnd.
F&ACD9.—The Raleigh Standard professes not to be
lieve that frauds are perpetrated opoa the people in
seme of the Western counties by, false pretences that
Qov. Vance desires the people to sign petitions to him
in favor of calling the Legislature together for the pur
pose of authorizing a Convention, and also that he de
sired the names of those who refuse to sign to be lifted.
Two of the reasons given by the Standard why it
does not baiieve, are worthy of note. One'of them is,
that ‘-those who hand round tbe petitions are incapable
of telling a falsehood.” This is “going it rather strong,”
even for the Standard, proving conclusively, if nothing
else did, that the Standard irtoo careless in giving its
iestimouy to be.itself immaculate. It remio'ds us of a
story we once heard of a man who employed a lawyer
to write an ailidavit for the continuance of a cme in
court. The lawyer told him to come to his office and^
let him know what he wanted to swear. He replied
that “that was the lawyer’s business, not his: make it
strong, sir! mt>ke it strong.” He was ready of course
to swear to anything that would accomplish his purpose.
The Standard’s second reason for disbelief is almost
equally peculiar, vfi: that “the Observer’s informants
arel'Bf tructives, whose statements are to be rceeived with
uiSiuy graina of allowance.” That is, the Standard is
«o bigoted erpartie^an that it thinks its own party friends
cannot tell a lie, and that its party enemies cannot teil
the trutb:
Again: aa to the information we 'tina "Uiv oamn
persons ace signing several of the papers,” the Stand
ard gives another notable reason for disbelief, viz: “That
Conservatives” [Jby which it means members of its own
party] “are njt in the habit of cheating and deceiving.”
Wonderful parly! in which, (the Stauuard being wit-
11 se.) there are none capablt of telling » falsehood, f;nd
none in tbe habit of cheating and deeeivingl Wonder
ful pir^y, inuef i3! The like was never heard of before,
and we presume never’ will be again. It all results,
doubtless, from having sucht % leader ao the Raleigh
Standard—they are all like that paper, of oourse. We
have cn6 coasolation from the Standard’s sweeping en
dorsement of character, and that is, that its party must
be a very firaall ono indeed.
As to the^olities of our informants, the Standard
professes to be befter informed than we are. We nev
er inquired, and do not know, 0 what party they be
hmg All we know la that we believe them to be re-
ST*eotable taen, and that believe their ttatnnenU.

From the Snetnj/ —The Charleston Courier le»rnsfro^
undoubted autnority tuat tbe U- 8. Navy officers com
manding the blook^ing fleat off St. Marks, Florida,
communicated with the Confederate officers at that port
on the 4th instant. The U. S. officers infomied our
officers that they had received orders that no parole or
release will in future be granted to captured blockade
runners; that the same are hfreafter to be held as pri
soners. and no release made until after the war. The
U. S. Government does not regard th. Alabama, Capt.
Stfmmes. as a national vessel, because she did not sail
from a Confederate port, Init was fitted out in aud sail
ed from a tureign port, and Caj>(> Semmes took com
mand. at sea. He is, therefore, regarded as a pirate,
and will bs treated as snoh if captured The Flori.^a is
reepec^ea as a national vessel, from the fact that she
fitted cut and sailed from a Confederate port, and if cap
tured, her officers and crew will be treated as prisoners
of war.
The Cwrenry —We would caution our oUin'ns against
ditpos ng too recklessly ef the Confederate currency
they jjow hold. Shylccks, who know* its value, are
deeply iotcresteH in deprecintiog it to add to the mass
ct'tbelr alfvady iU-gutten gains. It is tba policy of
every.one to secure at once a sufficie’>t amount of four
per cent, bonds to meet his taxes, and ho eannot lose
more by submitting to a tax of one-third of the remain
der for the b“nefit of thr Gov.^rnment by exeiJ«»'ging it
fCrt‘r 1st April for tha new issues, than by paying it
out now for articles advanced proportionably in price. To
