He •aid that the President did, (in his Message in se cret sessiotlu) refer specially to certain evidences of disloyalty and treasonable designs, and to dangers from spies, incendiaries and emissaries, but he made no special reference to any particular State. No distinction was drawn against North Carolina.

I give below such h«ld notes of the bat tle of May 2oth as passed before me, and which, I believe, is called the tight at llowlet’s Farm. At day-light we left our liuea near t)ie Kichuiund and PeUrsburjj Turnpike, aud went into line of battle on a range ot hills lUVO or 12U0 yards of the sntreached posi tion of I he enemy which we had determined to storm. Gen D IL Hill was in command of Martin's and Wise’s brigades un the right, resting on the Appomattox, and Cien. Hoke on tho left, extending to or near the James. Tli)s ei^agement was to be preceded by an artillery fire ot half au hour, and at a shout from Hoke’s division on the left we were to move at quick, tlien double juick and the ruu, as tlie distance ami drtMS of the lines required.

As the whole eori's de scended from the hills and appeared in the tields 1k-1ow, 1 thought it tho grandest sight I ever beiield. We were preceded by a line of skiriaishers at a distance of l&M yds., aud the enemy poured upon us a short but trailing tire, but happily they were demoralized too badly lo tak.' deliberate aim; this accouuts lor tlie few casualties in the reg't—42 beiug, I thiuk, tlie loss. The enemy had st^oula iu gray uniform, aud when tho men opeai d upon them our ollicerk rentniined tlieui. till, true to yaukee dupiicry aud deception, they turned aiui tired upon us.

We are glad to see this statement by Mr. Gaither. Tub Vbrt Error or tob Moon.—Among the notions, the offspring of sheer demagoguism, which the BO-called peace men of North Carolina advance with apparent earnestness, is that of submitting any treaty of peace that may be made with the United I aiid had scarcely gotu-u so beiore the New Kngiaud Pu litates to a vote of the people. Mr. J. T. Leach tributed among the prisoners and detailed meu were put in iustant requisitiou for the purpobe of streugtheniug the works agaiust the heavy artillery tire of the eueiuy on a neighboring hill—a terrible tir^opeued on us wliilc 80 engaged, aud pending this, Blouut's Ueorgia buttery dashed up as gaily as to a tournament under a hro wiiicli soou put him horr> du combat by killiug all his horac-s and several of his men. Capt. Blount told me he had been in 13 pitched battles. Crettysburg iui’ludcd, aud while it lasteU it was as trying a time as ever he saw. His meu behaved with as much coolness as if it was au innocent display of pyrotechny and death wcs not busy around. Capt. Marshall's battery was soon in position has introduced this feature into his resolutious which Congress laid upon the table, and he haii gone fur ther and stipulated that the States shall appoint oommissioners to treat, along with those of the Con- tsderate State*. 6uch propositions are not only subversive ot the Confederate government and iu direct 5ouliict with the Constitution, but iubversive of all governments. The people themselves have wi«ieiy conferred apon the Confederate government some of their sovereign rights, such as they coukl neither conveniently nor With proper understanding exercise in person. A- inong these is th* nghl^ the axclusive right, to de- «lare war and make treaties. Every man of a thimble- full of brains must know that these are things which the people cannot do with conyeniente or saft^iy. Mr Leaeh and Mr. Holden have no ia.-k of brains; snow this. But it seems to flatter very ignorant peo ple to veil them that they must have a vote upon the treaty of peace. The idea is not only absurd in itself but it is an insult to the people whom it is meant to fatter, for did not those people themselves vest this power in the Confederate government? These dema gogues pretend that the people did not know what Ley were about, and ought now to take back a right which they had solemnly conferred upon their agents, the Confederate government. Away with such tom- foelery. *JoT. Grabam os TH» Habeas Corpus.—The Richmond papers have not reported the speech de livered by Gov. Graham in the Confederate Senate on I'nesday last on the habeas corpus question. The Whig compliments it editorially as follows: •Mr. Graham, of N. C., presented hie views at length on the habeas corpus question, taking the ritans concluded to drive us from our positiou. They came up with a yell over the crest of the hill, but it wn- such a yell as l aiue from ihe chattering teeth of a badly scared loe. The old da^ we saw coming over the crest' of the hill, but no sooner had its outliues bet-a luUy seen, than down it weut most disgracefully before our eye.-., and the whole charging force retired before a tire us well directed and cool as any of us could'desire.

At the hefrinniiig o! thi-« p-rufl;2le he was a cadet at the ('harlott*; Military In-titr.te. N.C., but like many others, when he heard th»t the Joe was treading tbe soil or ■'Ta.. he d**»ert’d his .^Ima Mat*T and cho'^e the tented field-participated in'the engagement at Yorktown—a sboit time after wnich he was elected 1st Lieutenaut in a company from his own county This pot^ition he held until abont a year since, when by reason of the resig nation of his Captaiu he was promoted to Captaincy of the company, which position he h'dd until the memorable >6th. A’though quite young, he bad already established by bearing a high military repuiatioe. and his atT'.lu" mann»-r« anti geritlpmrtnfj deportm.-nf mad* him the pride of the Reg’t. Amid the many who fell kilh'd and wounded from the .‘list R *a't on that day. there are none whose loss is more keenly felt by the Reg’t than that of the gallant Pope. In his case how true are the words: “The path of glory leads but to the grave.’’ He fell with his face to the foe, proudly loading his company on to victory. It may U? some consolation to his father, mothe” and only sister to know that he wa.s not afraid to die, as he so expres-^ed himself to me a short time alter being wound ed . Yours. N.

If any one supposed that anything in the condition of that State h^ at any time called for the passage of this Jaw, that opinion was, in his belief, erroneous. When Lincoln, by his proclamation, had declared war, she said there was no neutrality for her. She threw herselt, heart and soul, into the contest, and in the manner in which she had borne herself, in her cuntribution to the cause in men and means, in the valor of her sons on every battle field, she well might challenge comparison with any State of the •Confederacy. He had learned from the Adjutant General of North Caroliua, that that State had con tributed to the war 37.88 > men, beaidoa two regi-. ments. the muster rolls of which had not been re ceived. Of this number there were now 50,000 In the field. When Gen. Lee began the fight in the Wilderness with that army which was the admiration of the world, one-half of them were North Carolin- iana. Ue knew not what was the number now, re lieve, I bfUeoe before another twelvemonth we will ouce more return to our homes with hearts full of gratitude to (iod for his goodness, and instea'I of eating our brenii vith scarceness, the earth will yield h.jr fruits and our presses burst out with new wine.
