Thk Ootkrkor s Mkssaqk.— Many of our roAcK'rs
h*ve doabtlees read and digested the Ancaal Mes-

The lawless ac^B of deserters and others. 2d. The
blockade-running basineaa. 3d. Some nnpleaeant
relaaona existing between our State authorities and
tkose of the Confederate government. 4th A pro-
po^^d *i68ninplion by the State of the duty now per-
formed by the couuUes, of providing for the needj
among the soldiers’ families, and a consequent in-
orea8« of taxes. 5th. The abolition of the Home

iMtly. The great triumph of the true men acd pa
triots la the late elt-tion.
Ttwse various subjects are treated with clearness
and tranknc^s, and »he tiovernor’a recomraendatiocs
are buch as to merit, as -re trust they will receive
the t*vorable consideration of the Legislature and
the people.
The U.terference of the Confederate authoriUes
with the Sl-Attj blockade-runniog, surprises as as
ir uc h as it probably will the public. Instead of ob-
struciioDs, the exctediDgiy salutary efiects of those
operauous should hav« induced the Confederate
fovernment to extend every aid to them. But in
addiUon tins, we do not ate upoa what principle
the to.il btiouging to tne Stue could have been
■elatd a.id appr priated to the use of Contederau*
eruiserd. It appears to us to be aa unwarrantable
violat'cn of the rights of the ytate—not one of tho*e
abstract riffats over which poUticians are everlast-
In5:!y gro^'ling, but. a substantial aod practical right,
it 13 uot aloue nor mainly for the proht made by the
Sifet**, Urge as that is shown t^> have been, but for
the bcnetiis conferrtd upon the soldiers acd the
uttuse, thjt tlie Confederate government should hold
out every iuducement, and grant every facility, to tte
VJtates to import iiocessaries for the army and pedple.
\V e have not room for cxteuded comment, nor is
it neceoPary. W e have read the Message with g eat
satidtdciiop, not only for its judicious practical r#
comm^udaiious but »or iis closing tnHute, so «lo-
qaeu-.lj exprtsssed, to the good sense and good faith
and piinoasu oi‘ the people and soldiers of North
CaroLua as maiiif«;sied in the late election.
Eii.siPTiOKS.—Not for uny particular merit in th»
debate lifctilt, out because it has excited a good deal
ct icuihrk m aud out of the Slate, do we publish the

We know not where this t*ble oame from, bat
sQppose it was a part of Mr Staples’s speech as re
ported ia some paper «'ther than thiit (rom which we
eopy. We qaoio it here Or the purpose of sajinir,
tnat We arc i-ticir^ij saci^ficii of its inaccuracy. IIow
and wnereui it is inaccurate we kaow not. lint it is
aduiitteU on all bauds that North Ciirolina has fur-
$118,845,744 57
These tables present the singular fact that two
States, Virginia and North Carolina, had already,
up the 28th nli., actnally peid more than the whole
amount of their estimated assessments, Virginia two
*nd a hulf millions snd North Carolina three millions
more, whilst the other States were short of thfir
amonnts at that date by thirty-two millions, in the
aggregate.
The soldiers’ fund tax forms $45,658,6*3 7T of
t^e above aggrega.te estimated taxes. It was levied,
it will be recollected, to pay the addition mads to
the monthly wages of the toldiers.
It is estimated that $89,873,737 61 of the whole
have been or will be paid in 4 per cent certificates.
The remainder in new issue or old at two-tMrds its
face. Property employed in agriculture is estimated
at two-thirds of the value of all property taxed viz;
$2 900,758,778 40. valoed at the specie basis of 1860.
Mr. Allan says that in all the legislation of Congress
on the subject of taxes, the agricultural interest has
been too much favored as compared with other in
terests. He recommends, howerer, that but few
changes be made in the tax laws. Among those is
a uniform rate per cent, of taxes on all property,
whether employed in africulture or not
Mr. Allan says that the whole expense of assess
ing and eolleoting the taxes, including stationery,
printing, books, iko., will not exceed one per cent.,
a rate unparalleled, |md owing to the patriotism of
the officers, many of whem^ serve for less than their
expenses while employed in their duties.
Pabtiu.—Will some of our friends of the Presi
allow tts to express the hope that they will not, until
the war is over and our independence aehieved, talk
or write about parties—the Conservative party, th^
Confederate party, or the so-called Destructive par
ty? We are eonvineed that there are very few per
sons in North Caroliaa—very few indeed—who ea^e
a button about,any mere political party. Loyal
people have no wish to build op any party except
(hat of tie Confederacy, or to pull down any party
except the yankee party. They have no th r^aght
aboQt the spoils now. Indeed thsro are no spoils
now. There is hot aa ofBce withia the gift of Legis
lature or Kxecutive. Scate or Confederate, w^ich will
pay enough to sappoi^ its inuum>'ent. The only
effect of offiee now is, that it may keep its possess
or out of the army where he onght to bs, and
where, let him be assared, the tims is uomius when
he will deplore that h» was not. especially if he
nished full as many troops, in proporiion t4) its popu-1 shenld e«er aspi*^ to any plac4 of honer or profit.
lanon, a.s aay iu the Conlederacy. Oar people claim
te have laruisaed more thau auy, but no ^e denies
tnat she has tumisaed as many If this be so, how
is it possible that sh' has 4I,00i) men left, whibt no
other State, not evea Virginia, has haif that number;
and as fjr tieorgia, wi^h all of G.jv. Brown’s success
ful deinaads to retu>n hi* oiiicdrd on the pica ol Sta e
rigau, aae nas only 3334? It is not so. We do not
deny, ind^^cd we are ngjiced to believe, that Nofih
Carolina SUli has up war as of 41,000 men between 18
and 45 w*tnia iier ooriiers. We> wish every yankee to
know tiiJt we have so maay m?n still lufc, and that
besides ihera tnere are m^koy more thousands under
18 uud o'.dr 45 vviio cau fight them and will tignt
them wDt:a tne tm'j/genc^ coiacs. What we do deny
is, th t (.aeotaer .stales have so/eiv meu left between
18 aad 45. It is evidently not Wue; and the publica-
tiou 01 eai li u tab.e not only does injustice to North
Carolina oy compa isoQ with her sister States, but
misleadd ‘nc yarkee.'^ luto a biisief that the Confede
racy, excf'pL *sorih Carolina, is exhausted of its
men ot iignuug age. Ii Mr Leach, in.^’tead’of volun

and not iaad-3 niinself and iiis State ridiculous.
Since the aoove was wcittcu we find that the table
above was furnished, as we supposed, by Mr. Sta
ples, Chainr.au ot'ttie Houue military Committee o.'
Congress. Mr. Smith of this State at once pronounc

The Raleigh Conservati«-e says that the fittnres
oppsiite to North Carolina, reported by Mr. Staples
as abo'e, tnotigh they app'oxiinate the truth, do not
agree with the record in the Conscription office at

Tm Ifiws.—Ail ayas are turned to Qaorfia. No
thing decisiye it known to hare accvrred there as
yet; bat a great triumph or a great disaster—no half
way affair—must occur within a vary few days, per
haps h«>ars. It would be improper te say why we
look with more hope to the result than we entertain
ed when Shermui’B bold plaa was developed a week
ago. Suffloe it, that we do hope for the annihilation
of Shorman’s great army. If the people of (Jeorgia
only do their full duty by the side of the veterans
who are there to help them—if they will but fight *br
their homes as gallantly as their sons and brothers
have fonght for their conntry in Virginia—Georgia
may have the glory of furnishing the Yorktown of
this war. We have a strong hope that so it will be.
From Richmond and Petersburg —Yesterday
the sides were bright acd.the air oool and bracing;
but still the same quiet pervaded the military lines
in front of Petersburg and Bichmond as during the
preceding wet weather. Should there now come a
freeze, succeeded, as it surely would be, by a thaw,
the campaii^i agaic^ Richmond, so far as *ny serious
and extensive operations are concerned, qjay be fair
ly considered as ended; imt even then it is likely that
Grant will, with every temporary return of firm
ground, attempt some minor enterprise.
The yankees have, of late, bad nothing to say about
the Dutch Gkip canal At last accoacts, Butler had
only two hundred negroes at work upon it, and this
smaU force of laborers was prevented by our bat
teries from doing hill work. We feel pretty confi
dent that this enterprise will not be completed in
time for the canal to be used before next spring or
summer. If we are right in this c'^nclnsion, the great
yankee fleet recently collected in Hampton Roads
was not destined, as has been conjectured, to operate
against Richmond, but was brought together either
for an a4t«ck on Wilmington or to euccor Sherman
when he shall have marched across the State of
Georgia. The yankee papers say the navy has been,
for a long time, ready to attack Wilmington, and
only waited for t^e co-operation of the land forces;
and the Louisville Journal has told ns that Sherman,
after devastating Georgia, will exchange signals with
CoiPmodore Porter on the Atlantic coast.

We hope we shall be pardoned for giving expres

this part of the State at lea^t, that the- Press parti

evil by fanning its flames, e*peeially among the mem
bers of the present Legislature, who are expected to
aot for the good of the ^ate aad the Oonfederacy
and the cause, and not for the benefit of any mere
^Utical party.
PA4.ca R«solutioxs.—It will be seen that Mr.
Pool of Bertie has oifered resolutions in otir State
Senate proposing the appointment by the States of
commissioners to negotiate with the enemy. There
ia unfortunately a diificnlty in tne way ot this propo
sition, viz: That the constitution has expressly vested
Che po'^er here proposed to be exercised im the
Confederate President and Senate, and conseqaently
he States have no such power, and an attempt to
exerciso it would be an indignity to those branches
of the common government. The idea that the Pre
sident and Senate will submit to this indignity by
coT'miasioniog men wh''se appointment is thus to be
unconstitutionally wrested from them, is scarcely ad
missible. They would be apt to coniider that they
were iatentionally insulted, and to say that they are
qaite as ready i s the States can be to appoint com-
initsioners whenever there is a hope that they will
find any one to treat with.

A Brilliant BjiploU hy ifesby’s Men.—One Capt.
Blaaer, a man remarkable for skill and oonrage, was
eooB tiSM ateee from the iafantry of tne jc n-
kee army tolerate as a guerrilla-hunter in Northern
Virginia. He was given a lieutenant and eignty
pickedjnonnted men, armed with Spencer carbines,
and directed to devote himself especially to the cap
ture of Mosby’s men. In the coarse of several months,
by indefatigable saouting,'he has managfed to picV up
a number bf detached squads and individual members
of Col. Mosby’s command, and has made for himself
a creditable reputation for energy and vigilance, both
in tne Valley and in Northern Virginia east of the
Blue Ridge. But, hitherto, it has never been his
fortune to enconnter'an enemy equal to himself in
numbers. Ot late, he has l>een expressing himself
aa panting to encounter some inaamaraHK*, unlimited
numbers of guerrillas. The falfillment of his wiah,
as will be seen, was not loag delayed.
Last Friday, Capt. P. A. Richards, commanding
companies A and B, first squadron of Mosby’s eom-
mandi made an expedition into Clarke to hunt up
and to do battle with the donghty Blaeer. On rtach-
ing the neighborhood of Caolc..own, 7 miles west of
Snicker’s Gap, scouts reported Blazer aad his force
advaneiag from the direction ot Winohester. Capt.
Richards drew up his men in .'ine of battle and
awaited hia approach. Blazsr heralded his advent
with u shower of ballets from the Spencer earbmes
and then rushed down npon our troops. Capt. Rich
ards, instead of awaitmg his onset, determined to
meet him in full career; and when the ei\emy was 50
yards distant, gave the order for his men to charge.
The opposing squadrons rushed together witn a crash.
There was a momentary struggle, an uproar of shouts,
and the report of fire-arms. Blazer’s men gave ay

Under the inflnence of the details of the capture

nounce the affair.
The Times says the act was most flagrantly law
less, presumes the American government will hasten
to repudiate it, though tbe New York Chamber of
Commerce forfeits its character by rewarding or jna-
tifying the crime committed.
The Morning Post thinks the Federal government
will disavow the act, but has misgivings about it. It
thirks the outrage cannot be permitted, to pass un
noticed by the other powers, and tnat all the mari
time powers should enter a protest against it.
The London Herald believes that events stich as
tl'esa will speedily force Enropean nations to interfere
in tte American difficulty for t^eir own secnrity.
The Daily News and Star (yankee oi^ans,) are

Brazilian correspondence in relation to the capture.
The Morning Star denounces the eeianre and hopes
the 4 aerican Government will repudiate it.
CoHGBBss.—In the Hotuc of Representatives, on
Monday last, Mr. Rnssell, of Virginia, oifered the
following resolution:
“Resolved, That the Honse deems it proper, in
view of recent events, to repeat the declaration made
by Congress in a joint resolution approved March 11,
1862, declaring the sense of Congress in regurd to
reunttint with the United States; that it is the un
alterable determination of the people of the Con
federate States, m hnmble reliance on Alimightv
God, to sufier all the calamities of the most protract
ed war, but that they ^11 naver, on auy terms, po
litically affiliate with a people who are guilty of an
invasion of their soil and the hatchery of their citi-
«ns.”
The resolntion being read, Mr. Russell oalled for
the previous question, which was ordered. Mr.
Russell then moved that the vote on the adoption of
tte resolution be taken by ayes and noes. It was s o
ordered and the resolution was ..iopted, ayes 81,

of these classes shall not be obtained, those belong
ing to persons having more than 15 able-bodie'l field
hands ^tween 16 and 50 years shall then be taken.
The Committee on the Judiciary reported adverse
ly on the bill for extending tho assessment of prices
for the army to all the citiaens of the Confederate
States. The House passed the bill authoriEing th^
Secretary of the Treasury to excnange coupon bou'^s

Thb Libkrtt or the Pbess.—The following funny
passage appears in the proceedings of C'^ngress as
reported in ;he Richmond Slentinel of Wednesday
last. Some of the Editorial Irieuds of Mr. Lea^h
«ill be vastly edified by that gentleman’s proposed
mode of disposing of the liberty of the press, for
which they are sticklers:—
Mr. J. T. Leach, of N. C., sMdhe rose to a ques
tion of privilege, in regard to certain attacks made
upon him in a newspaper published in this city.
“The Speaker said that tUs was not a question of
privilege, and the gentleman could only be allowed
to make an explanation by ^eave of the f^use.
“Leave bertig granted, Mr. L. said there was a
point where silence ceases to t>e a virtue; that pomt
had been reached between himself and the Richmond
ExamittPr, He had borne its animadversions during
last session; but he now deemed it dae to him.ielf to
cay, that he regarded that paper as a low, vulgar,
dirty, scurvy, scurrilous sheet. and*a sewer of cor
ruption. Hethought the President would do a good
deed to extii'guish that paper. Not by pitting the
editors in the army, where they might find congenial
employment in giving aid and information to the ene
my, but he onght to have them hang by their necks
until they were dead—dead -dead—and then turn
them over, soul and body, to the father of all lies.
Mr. Leach also origina'ted the following scene, as
we find it reported in the Examiner, and mor^ briefly
in the ot*'er Bichmond papers;—
“Mr. J. T. Leach, of N. C., offered a resolJition
that the heads ol the various bureaux of the Depart
ments ba requested to use the vehicles nf the Gov
ernment in conveying the female clerks to and from
' their offices when, in their opinion, the health and
lives of said female clerks are jeopardized by the
weather! [Considerable laughter.]
Mr. Leach—Mr. Speaker, 1 move that this resolu
tion be at once considered and passed. .*
The Speaker—This is a joint resolution and must
be referred to a committee, unless the Honse agrees
to a scspension of the rules for its consideration.
Mr. Lea’h—I move a suspension of the rules.
The Speaker—Gentlemen who are in favor of a
Buspension of the rales for this resolution to bo con
sidered will rise and stand until they are counted.
[Several gentlemen here rose, and the Clerk with
his dexter finger proceeas to count them ]
Tne Speaker—There are not a sufficient number
up, and the House refuses to suspend the rales.
Mr. Laach—Then Mr Speaker, I call for the ayes
and noesl [Bursts of laughter through the hall.j
The Speaker—The gentleman from N. C. calls for
the ayes and noes. [A pause ensues here while the
gentlemen stand up and are counted.] There are
not a sufficient number up and the ayes aad uoes are
not ordered.
Mr Leach—Then, Mr. Speaker, 1 m^ve tne rcso-
luUon be referred to the C >.nmittee on Ways acd
Means!! rBxcessive and long continaed linghter
on ilie floor and in the galleries. Sr^ver^^l me*nbers
