nasseaemm ♦4v.ii M«JIUT, BKCCMBSA ii, ismT Tn News—There is aa yet no dcTelopment of tk« litaatioD in Geor^fia. Ab nothing comes by lel- #graph from that quarter, our late»t news, and that mire rnmori, ii to the 8th. One rumor located the tncniy 25 mileB, and aaother 50 milea, from Savannah. The first Confederate report in reprard ta tbe bat tle at FiankliE, Teun., claitns an ioiportunt irictory- 4,000 yaukees killed and wounded and 6,000 captured. Homethi'’,? like this no doubt occurred, to set the enemy to running away po fast. The wires went down last night, po that our dip- pat^’hoi did ro* come; but wo Lave the aati?factioD of learniug from a private letter from Raleigh that “The yaukees are whipped had!y tn-duy at Bel/ield, m» d driven back, our troops puri>uirg” Lincoln’s meesace is not of particular interest. Elsction or Sknator.—It would not be easy to express ♦he fee’ing of relief and of hankfulness with whicn wo wtlcomed ihe telegram from Kaleign ot Thur»day last announciug the election of the Hon. Thomas 8. Ashe, aeSmptorf om the State of North Carcliua, to the CoDgrcFS at the Confederate States, for SIX years from the ISih of February 18C6, when Mr. Dartch’e term Will expire. Tne Ral*^ign pape'-e- r«c«irod that day had led us to appreheud as a fixed (kci tae eiectioQ of anotaci- ^‘•nileman—one eUo- ^pethbt obexcepiioua^e but. ior hia (o&der8t.ood) w!th tile eo-tsalT^ **peace” party ard^ moT«ment—one whose admitted ability and high persoiisl character hod, we doubt not, secorvd him a much larger TOte in the early stages of the con test than his'‘‘peace” procliW.ieb warranted. The honor is most worthily bestowed, the trust o*nflded to one who never proved faithless, one who ■tanda “without fear and without reproach.” Such a man is an honor to h s S^ate, his country, and his kind. Personally, rrofessionaHy and poli»icaMy, hip whole lifj h\a exhibited abiii'y, industry and integ rity, ard he ia peculiarly popsfiiged r f that di.»niy or personal presence a d c urtesy of personal manners which a'tra--t attention a-'d win favor. lo t^ese, a? ia ail respects, tne Senatorial deles’ation froua North Oarolira,—Graham and Ashe,—will unqaeationably rank abcive that of any other State in the Confede racy. In old party times Mr. Ashe was a Whig. We do not think he ever »;onnected himself with any other party organization. Since the war he ha* be longed to the party of the Confederacy. Ai* such, his election over one of the most gifted and papular meu Id the State is a guarantee to the world of the eontinued devotion cf North Carolina to the great and vital iaioe of Confederate Independence. I}ILPSKSSM»TS.—We have not seen much of the practical operations of the Impressment I'^wa of Cc n- gresa, and until very lately have not lieard much. Doubtless those who have come directly under their blighting infiuence have seen and felt deeply on the subject; bat in this part of the State the people are generally so truly loyal, so devoted to she interests of the Copf**deracy and to the success of its sirug- fle for independence, that they ht>ve been unwilling to murmur. In no other view can we account for tbe apparent apathy with wb^h they have borne the manifestly unequal burdens imposed upon them by the partial operation of tbe pyEtem. But the re?o- rations of Mr. Phiilip:. of Orange, adopte*i by the House of Coiumons last week, h>ive drawn public attention to tbe subject and placed us ia posscssicn of ^ts unknown to us bt-foie, which sausfy us that the tystem it bad in itself and is badly executed, producing bad feeling, deepoudeacy aud gross iujue- tlee. It levies an unequal tax. For ex 'mple: Oar aeighbor has a horse, worth $2503, which tae im pressing oCScer takes and pays only $600 for, thun taxing him $170\ in addition to his other taxes, in cluding the tax on this very horse. We have no horse, and thereby escape this tax. Another has a hundred bushels of corn, worth $2000, which the im pressing officer takes and pays 3o00 tor. We have no corn. Another has 1000 lbs. of bacon, worth $6000. for which be is allowed 82«.50. We hu'.’e no bacon. Our neighbor is thus heavily taxed, whilst we are exempted. Can any gooJ reason for t^is be assigned? We think not. We are quite as wiliiog and perhaps quite a? able to pay a tax as our neigh bor, only it happens that we produce nothing and own nothing that tne government needs. We observe that in the report of the speech of Mr. Phillips on his resolutions, he states that IGO horses and males had just been impressed ia Orange connty, worth more than $300,000, tor which the government paid only $100 000. Thus a tax of $200,000 has been coll'^cted irom that county, over and aoove its legitimate taxes. A timilar yi«ititioD has jaat been made upon this county, with probably like result®. All this is exclusive oi the corn an ; forat'^e and ba con and eaitle imoressed. Now has every connty been treated similarly? If so, this iliesriiimate tax has amounwd to many millions in the Sute If not vi»=ited upon all the couaties, why make a distinction? And if all in this Siata have been thus treated, have all the other States been treated in the same way? If not, why? It may be that the governm#'Ht is obliged to im press. What it needs for the support ofirs armies in the llel^ it ought to have and must have, at all haz ards, by impressment ir uc««saary. But when i^ im- presses, let it allow the market prices, be taxed equally to pay them. The system ia an annoying, galling, unjupt one. calculated to create disloyalty, or at any rate to give disloyal persons a pretext for their course. It is BO when fairly executed; but iar worse whsn the impresaing officer pass s a friend or favorite and jounces upon those who have not taken thft pa’ns to ingratiate themselves in his favor. We t'ave heard of auch cases ^ Tne system discourages production. It is need- Uts to say tbit it ought not to have t*mt f It Two SiDM TO THK QcBSTioA.—In the discussion in the House of CommoDB on Tueady (see Thurs day's Observer,) occurred the following passage:— **Mr. Grissom said one thing was ccrtainly evident and that was that patriotism was sadly wani.ng in North Caro lina, and thai i^hereas in the b-^ginnfng of the war ^ty or Pixty regiments eagerly v’lunteerv'd, U was now ine ea.*e men were as earnest in their etforts to avoid the fi»*ld. For this there was a reawD and he found it in the prin- '’iples which led lo Iinpn'epment. Then too, as if Im- preesment were not enoueh we had a TlthinR system ho% Wtirc even now threatened with a pufpension of the wri^ of hitbeat eorput, with tbe removal from the State of tbei Reserve*, and with thp inntitntion of a political Supreme t'ourt with apt>eilatc jurisdiction ’’ We think Mr. GriPsom might have found a much more simple reason for the difference between the beginning of the war and the present tiire. Fifty or i>ixty regimeats eagerly volunteered then, it is true, but there are not fifty or sixty regiments left in the State now. And it is no sign of a waning of patrir otism that those who are left, who never did volun teer. do not volunteer now. We do not therefore admit the aorrectness of Mr. Grispom’a position, and if we believed it to be true we would not tell of it in such a manner as that it may reach the enemy and t-ncouroge him. or reach the revilera of our State i nd add to their weapons of abuse. But from all that we learn we fe»l confident that any waning of patriotism is confined to the s'ay-at- hotnes; that it by no means ahuws itself in the arm/ It is but a day ar two since that we saw an invalid, who has been in the army and then at his home in an adjoining connty, back and forth several times, who spoke of the refreshing contrast 1>etween the tone of the soldwrs and -I *f s»’die people at home. The sDldieta were chMrftil. hopeM, det«rmined—no waning of patriotism among them. And if they, wh^ endure the hardships of tbe camp and the dan gers of battle, who expect wounds and death, retain their ratriotic devotion to the great cause of liberty against tyranny, cannot Mr. Gri som and the rest of us who ft’’e permitted or required to stay at home^ endure the smaller evils of taxation and ^pressmeni and tithing, and even a temporary snspenaion of the habeas corpus, without permitting our patriotism to wsne? Afte^ the above was written, we received a letter from Wadeaboro,’ giving a case in point. A gen tleman enclosing money to renew Mr. James How- eh’a subscription to the Observer says,— “He takes great interest in what is (folng on—as true a patriot aa our '■orfntry can pr.-'duce. Ue is »bout seventy yeare of agfl, hna served 18 months in the army (durim; this war.) and if I were to pay the word he would be off flgain in three days; but he is too old and feeble.” Th« trndkb msbcixs or the Yaxkbes.—We refer our readers to the accouQts of tbe latest oatrages of the yankeea in Virginia and Geergia. To the usual burning and destroying and robbini^ they added in Georgia stripping and whippiug ladies. In both Georgia and Virginia they treated their/r/ewtia and enemies alike, showiag that they have not lost sight of their darling purpose to exterminate the people of the South so as to possess their lands. We are glad that the cravens who are ready to submit are scourged by the yankees, who liius show in what contempt they are held. A letter from Milledgeville says that after con sultation between Sherman and his Generals, Ihe State House and Executive mansion at Milledee- viiie were loft standing (though "consiJerably muti lated,) “on the ground that Georgia, within six months, would be again a part of tha United States through State action. A staff oflScer repeatedly as serted that they knew that the State would go back.” The writer of the letter thinks “they are mistaken, for judging ot the effect of their vaudalism on Mil- ledgenlle, we believe the State will bo a unit, as we are, la inf'.reased hatred to them. Loss of property has only united and bound as irore closely in deter mined resistance, even to death." GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA. In the Senate, on Wednesday, after our eorreapond- ent’s letter wa.s dispatched, Mr. Pool from the joint select coiumittee, reported on beh«lf of himself, and Messrs. Towles and Caldwell, a recommendation that the “Peace” resolutions, introdaced by him and heretofore published in the Observer, pass withent amendment. Mr. Ellis of Columbus reported from the minority, himself and Mr. Brown, “their belief that no {^tate of the Confederacy has a right to negotiate with a foreign State, that the onfederate trovernment is the only medium therefor, andjt is not the sense of the minority that the said gov ernment would hesitate or delay in endeavors to ascure peace, an3 do recosnmend that the resolutions be not adopted.” The matter comes up as special order on Wednesday next. In the Commons, on ednesday, Mr Fowle’s habeat corpus resolutions [published last week] were taken up ard he epote at length in their favor. Ihe Conservative gives no summary of tb® speech, expecting to publish it iu foil. ^r. Shepherd rep'ied, and there is no sketch of his lem&rks. Mr. Love followed and "icquired if tbe gentleman from W ake endorsed Mr. Boyce’s letter. Mr. Fowle K>«id if this question w(«re persists in, he should regard it as a peisonal insult to him. Mr. Love dis- cHicied any intention of m«aninf! it as'such. He merely wished to know if the gentleman endorsed the letter. .Mr. Fowle .said he had atTea )y declared that he wus in favor of the Confederate government to the last, a^d Mr. Boyce dcclare 1 he would aceept re constcu'ition in pre ference to a contiouance of the straggle.

The Second resuUed in the election of Hon. Thos. . Ashe, who received 80 votes, to *• for Judge Keade and. 4 each for Megprs Gilmer and Smith. In the Senate, on Friday, the military eomraittee ro- port*'d a bill to empower the Governor when he should derm a inuftioi«nt emergency frr so doiug should arise, to orde! the State troops out of the .'^tate for such periods as he mi>;ht dei*m tiest, cxc'^pt the Home Guards, who shouid not b) ordered out fur more than sixty d.ivB at time. The bill to continue in force the Salary aud Fees act of 18t)3, passed its third reading. Iu ihe Commons, on Friday, Mr. Phillips m^de a pei^ poual expla ation in reference to his right lo hold a peat in tbe tioupe, which had b'*en impuKard. by the Confede rate we b-'lieve. He said that he he'd no place which ■=hould prevent his taking hi« seat, aud if a’ly one doubt ed le» there be a committee of investigation. Mr Shep herd agreed with Mr. Phillipe that he was entitled to hie seat, aud dec’ared that no committee was called for. Mr. J. U. Headen resum:;d his ^-pseck on the habeas carpus resolutions, sayLn«r, Ccngrees had passed uucon- stit'itioDal acts, in.«taucinfir tttnoag them the Conpcription Law, aud suspenmon ot the writ of habeas corpus. He would never a#r»e to reconstruction, or live under Abe Lincoln. The resolutions ho believed all right; and thought there was noihiug in them that North Carolioa could not ei>dorse. Sundry bills were reported from committees which will be noted as they come up. )lr Caldwell introdaced a resolntion to prevent the laying of a tax on North Caro lina Treoaury uotea.

Editors Observer Some finance Wis having occupied (ae you will see by the report sent you) an important portion of the House prooeedingk on yesterday, a few words on tbe present monetary condition of the State may not be am>ss. The amount now in the Treasury does not fxcewd $450,000. The bill for the relief of sol diers’ fainil es, originally proposing an appr.»priation of >•2,000.0.0, and now amended by an increase of fiO per cent, thereon, calls for f .^,000,0.0.

In the Hog«^4« Satnr^y, Mr. Shepherd, from the Finance Commtttee, reported a bill in relation to the Public Treaoovv, which, under a suspension of the rulfs, was put upon Ijp various readings, passed, and ordered to be immetialdy eigrossed and sent to the 8en«»te, This bill aatho^es the Treasurer to sell the Confederate bonds rec^veitihr old issue C. 8 treasury notes, and di rects that tha fitote Treasury notes (authorized and pro vided for in aeiof 1863) be issued to the amount of 8,- 000,000, payat^ in 1676, and fundable in six per cent, coupon bonds, redeemable in 1896. In moving .he suspension under which the bill pas«ed, Mr. Shepheru said the expenses of the State and tVat of the State lillitarv organization, as at present kept, up, were so great (bat BO less than $10,000,000 per annum would suffine,- Knowing th» burthen already borne by the people in Confederate, State, county, and rftenlown,* taxes, the eomnittee felt certain that to impose this fresh weight would, in two years, lead to a crash from which there wou’d DO rising, and accordingly proposed to levy only $5,000,000 by direct taxation and the'residue in the manuw indicated in the bill. From tbe same committee Mr. Shepherd repj'rted a Revenue bill, whiob fmnoscs an ad val rrm tax of one per cent, oa ttw assessed cash vftiues of 1p63, a’ld among its other provfeions requires affidavit of non-knowltdg,: on th« part of the tax-payer that he does not know «t other propeity withheld from taxation.

CosBXCTiOH.—We are requested by Walter A. Hnske, Esq. to state, that a paragraph in a recent Carolinianj charging that Glen. A. D. McLean, o^e of the Commoners from this connty, had voted against h:m and for a Holdeoite for Engrossing Clerk, is altoirether a mistake. Gen. McLean voted for Mr. Huske oa every occ'«ion, and was among his warmest friends and supportera, until Mr. Huske’s came was withdrawn with his own consent. And tnis too notwithstanding Mr. Huske had been deprived of the opportnnity of voting for the General by pledges made before he was aware that he (the Gen eral) was a candidate. As to the General’s voting for a Holdenite—a sou of Dr. J. T. Leach—that is equally incorrect. Toung Mr. Leach is opposed to the doctrines of tbe Bolden party ia every shape and form Mr. Stephen D. Pool of Carteret writes to the Ral^h Conservative that bis resolutioas offered in the House of Commons do not “defend secession,” as stated ia the report of proceedings. He never believed in the doctrine of secession. His resolutions ar« ioteoded to defend the State and the Confedera cy rather than secession. CoNQRESS—In t he Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Baker introduced a bill to send soldiers’ papers free of postage. Alter discussing the bill regulating impressments thr^ Senate vwt into secret »eesiou.

Nortli Carolina, and to report by bill or otherwise, which was referred to aaid committae with sundry documents and papers. , In the Seaate, on Thursday, the resolutions, heretofore noted. Id relation to the Fhrida, were passe-^; aa also that author’sing appointment of a Commissioner to Brazil. In the Rouse, nothing of Interest occurred in open se«iion. On Friday not an item of interest occurred in either Houae. Fettt Mauqxitt.—James Moore, one of the sea men of the Florida, published in a St. Thomaa (W. I) p.iper, on the arrival of tbe Wachusett and Florida at that port, an account of the capture of the Florida and treatineat of the priaonera. He aays: “Our Commander and crew always respected private property, and ijo prisoners taken by us were ever pat in irons, alhou:;h we hav^ had as many as seventy on our decks at ine time, which was very far from being the case in this instance. Our monfy and elothina wtf i , , , i i r • ^ , I ,ker. from un we w,rt doubh irone: andp .ck-d likt S^r acruinulated by the acti n of the General Aesembly - , I since thetr meeting on the :.ilst Nov r.

GaoRoiA Leoist.ators.—The Georgia papers no tice wi"h much and deserved severity the conduct of ] the members of tha Georgia Legislatufe. They wera in session when Sherman started from Atlanta, and inthorised a levy en masse of the people to resist hi:u. exc'udt'ng themselves. That was bad euoagh; »>ut when the enemy caoie n^ar Milledgeville, whe^e they .were in pessicn, every man of tuem 'ncOntineot- ly Jied, except one solitary member, Mr. Francia L.

To meet these drafts already •iamer»ted, the Treasury hts, as ■•»taU3d, only Gran'ing that Congress orders the reimburee-nent to the Stite of $ ,24 ,990 expended in executing the conscript laws and arresting deserters, •ad furthermore consents tn pay $1,0 0,000 for the Ad vance. it fallows that over $ 0,0*50,000 will still have to be raised, $.5,000,0 '0 by direct taxation and $5 000,000 by the issue of treasury notes and the sale of iState and (’.onfederate Injnds. In view of this state of affairs, •Iu3ge Shepherd was om’n. ntly right in stating that re- tfenchment—nnd parti('ula> ly retrenchment of the costly, cumbrous, and inelb'nent State military organization was necessary to prevent financial ruin.

The’debt of the U S., July 1,1864, he states was nearly $1,800,000,000. Turning to the war, he recommends a proposed amendment to the constitution abolishiag slavery throughout the Un’ted States. He refers to the re suit of tbe recent elections as evidence of the pur pose of the people of the loyal States to maintain the integrity of the Union, and he says it is the pub- lie purpose to re-establish and maintain the national authority unchanged, or as we believe unchangeable. “On careful consideration, it seems to me that no at tempt to negotiate with the insurgent leaders conld result in any good. They would accept uothing short of severance from the Union. We cannot vo luntarily yield it. Tbe issue can only be tried by war ana decided by victory; but the Southern people can yet accept the Union, and tbe amnesty offered a year ago is still open to all to make a fr^e choice.” In conclusion, Mr. Lincoln aays he “will not retract or modify th*' emancipation proclamation, and in stating a a’*ngle condition of peace, be means simply to say, the war will cease on the*part of the govern ment whenever it shall iiave ceased on the part of those who t»egun it.” Fighting below Richmond expected —Richmond, Dec. 9.—The Evening Whig says that in spite of snow, rain and mud there were strong indications this morning of ac tive oporat ons on the lines below Richmond. Our forces were in line of battle, and the en'my were driven from their exterior works on the left this morning. LATER.—Richmokd, Dec. 10.—The afiair on the lines tvelow Richmond yesterday was only a recon- noissance by Grant. Results unimportant The Rtf-id towards Weldon.—Pbtersbubg, Dec. 9.—The main body of t e enemy’s raiding column is in th« vicinity of Jarratt’s. 30 miles south of the city. Figntinp has been going on there to-day, bnt with what result is not known. Our forces hold Belfield, and the bridge is strongly guarded. The enemy de*troyed Sussex C.H. on their route, and seiead horfes and cattle every where. towards Weldon, and jrere provided ^th such ao amount of stores as to induce the belief, that they were prepared for a long march, or, at all eventi, • long absence. It ia probable that the primaiy ob ject ot tbe movement was to occupy the road, or ao injure it as to prevent our sending any reinforc«m**to to our forces operating against Sberman.

Sunday last. A marauding party of Yankees, 200 strong, who had bMn robbing every body within their reach and were returning loaded with plunder, were attacked by 400 of our cavalry, under Col. Prather, and, after a severe engagement, completely routed. A portion of the party were in buggies »nd carriages, which they had stolen, all of whom, amounting to 30, were captured. A consid erable number vere killed and wounded. The yan kees were pursued by our men and driven up to Osterbans’ camp, in wnich they took refuee. O ter- haus sent out a regiment ofinfantry to repulse Prather, but the latter, after a brief engagemect, captured the whole of them. He was about making away with his prisoners and rescued lK)Oty, when he was attack ed by tbe whole corps and compelled to abandon his captured men in order to save his own. The thirty first taken were «My brought into our lines. Onr loss in the two affairs was two kttled wounded, several of the latter mortally. Savannah Republican, 7th.

Why shou'd 1, says the far mer produce more than I abaolntely require? Every bushel that I make beyond that ia a clear loss to me * of 5. It is I'O answer to tell ci6 that this is a Belnsh view of the matter—that I ought to make all the com I can to keep the army an'l con-producpra from suffering.

Gen. Cheatham’s corps was principaliy engaged. The enemy are falling back to Murfreeaboro’. Forrest is rep‘'rted to be at Bentwater, between the enemy and Nashville. The enemy are said to be concentrating at Murfreesboro’.—Sav. Repub , 1th. The Republican, referring to affairs in Tennessee, says of this news; -‘The despatch comes to us vrith- out signature and waa mailed from Tallahas?ee to Doctorcown, the present terminus of the Cuban line of telegraph, bat we ha^^e little or no doubt of its correctness. Oar loss in this action was 'leavy, and is greatly to f>a deplored; but the sacrifice is not rithout its compensation. • The enemy lost the day, wer3 driven from their works, and suffered to the extent of four thousand killed and wounded and six tnouaand prisoners. Our loss was not one-third po great, aa we learn from a coarce beiiev=d entirely reliable. From the condition in which affairs were left af:cr this battle, we have reaaon to hope that Nash^'ille is by this time rescued from Abolition handa.” The Raid totvxrds Weldon.—The Petersburg Ex- preaa of the 9lh, recived this morning, saya:— The grand raiding p^>rty which lf»ft our front on Tnesday nieht, and marched down the Jerusalem Plank road, is still advancing. The colernn consists ot tr e Fifth Corps, two divisions of the Second Corps, 1.5 regiments of cavalry, and an abundance of artille ry. Preceded by the cavalry, the entire column cross ed the Nottoway river at Freeman’a brid e, 2J miles south east ot this city, and struck throuerh SnRSPX.cmnty in an oblique direction towards the Weldon Railroad. The nearest deatination of this column is believed tro^ ^ important d^pot about 40 miles ia at this pointr>ne ot costly bridges on the road, and the enemy may at tempt its destruction with that of the buildings about the place, and such stores as they may find. We do not believe, nor is the opinion general, that this hf>avy column of troops ia a mere raiding party. We th’nk a bold and rapid dash will be made on Weldon, and an attempt made to effect a permanent lodgment there Bellfield, at whifh they are aiming, ia only 20 miles ^’rom Weldon—one day’s march tor infantry on a good road. Whereiore chonld two corps of infantry be despatched to de stroy a station, when cavalry would answer every purpOae, and accompliah the work much sooner? It is a grand flank movemert of Grani’a, designed not only to capture the very important point of vVeldon, acd to hold it permanently, but alao to create a di version in favor of Sherman, who is now ao sorely pressed in Georgia. A day or two will fully develop the intentions of tue column. The iSixth Corps from Sheridan’s Army is now in our immedi-'te front, having relie/cd the Second Corps, wbich has gone towar-ls Weldon.
