A i^lance at oar bocks has ahoTvc ttS that, with a large advertising basin^sa and pro bably a Iftrger list of pnb?cribera than any paper in the State, the Observer for five months pa&t hag not only failed to contribute a dollar to our support, bat has required from us a ccnsiJiirable sum in addition to ail i+8 receipts to pay tor the paper, labor, &c., used in printing it. The enormous expense oi living makes it necessary still farther to incTease the wage* of our employees, and to meet this addition*'! ex pense and the RJready existitg difiVrence between receipts and expeDditures, the npw rat^s above have been estab'Ishtd. W^e doubt if the advance be suf- ftcient, but will make the experiment. Thk Nkws.—We have to repeat—probably for the last time—ihat there is still no final result Jn Geor gia. bherinuii is so neur to kSav&Qtiah—£ghting within 10 miles—that sometbing de cisive must very speedily occur, perhaps has occurred before w? write this. We know so little of the force as.sembled at Savannah to meet Sherman, that we can form no o- pinion as to its sufficiency. The Georgia papers, however, wL’ch of course know more, maintain a tone of cheerfulness and confidence. Nothing ofScial has yet been received from Food. From private accounts the battle of Franklin seems to have been a very sangainary one, our losir being put at 3,500, including no less than six Generals, a- mong them the gallant Cleburne. There is, as uanal, a wide discrepancy in the aocoants of losses, but it is evident that, notwithstanding hia heavy loaa. Hood gained a substantial victory. la our own State, we are happy to record a defeat of the yankees at filinston by our g'all&.nt townsman, Lieut. Col. fetarr. Thi Lkoislatubk.—We think we can safely as- ■ iure those members of the Legislature who were elected m opposed to the so-called peace party, aod who are now ofifering resolutions and making speech- e» and giving votea, in accordance with the views of that party, and so much to its delight, that their course does not meet fbe approval of th-^se by whom they were elected. We are very far from charging, or beliemg, that they are, hostile to the cause of the Confederacy, or even lukewarm on tiia babject; bat we cannot shut our eyes to the manifest effi>ct of their course, which is, to weaken our owa caaae aad dispirit and disadect our own people, aud to raise the hopes a*)d increaae the vigor ot ihe enemy. We beg them to be assured Ait there id point in the jocolar ruin&rk of iheir fellow-uiember who propoFcd now to say something against Abe Lincoln. The resolutions and speeches and votes referred to, are gainst Jeff. Davis and not a woid against Abe Lin- oln. We will nr>t say that th y are grasping af'er ' he shadow and losing the subataaca, ba. that while contending for one substance whit h they consider in danger, they are risking and almost necessaiiiy los ing the great substance of Coaiedarate independ ence—that independence which is the first and vital object to be con^endfidfor and gained, for ii involves all that these speeches aud resolutions and vo*^£s contend for, arui a vast dt iL m-ift. If by opposing our own government taey assiot ihe yankees to pre vail over us, or even if simply whii.3t beadin^^ their energiea to secure certain riguts iroia our owu gov ernment they oULoto t-e yankees to prevail, all those ri^'his are lost forever, and wiLi thsm a.11 other rights, and all propert/, and life itseU' jeopardied. We beg tnese Legisia+ors iherefore, if they will ;iot moderate their hostiii-y to our own goverameit, at least to show a little more of the same feel'nj towards tha yankee government. They might tuus he;p the cause ot the Confediracy, tiivaage that of the yaa- kses, and place themselves r^ght before t’le pp.opl?. At present, not a fo# ire inclined to thick th»t there is a prospect of more being lost than gain 3d by tb’2 meeting of the present Le^islatare. Of course we have no ailuBion in the above re mark? to hose members who were elected avowedly as of t’le pestilent “peace party." No''oiy expect ed anytluDg good from them; bat it is not encourag ing to sec how many of the others act wivii tnem and play into their hands. Mr. Fool’s “Peack" Resolutions De?katkd.— A special dispatch last evening from oar Legislative correspondent, T. P., says: “The “Peace” resolutions introducfid by Mr. Pool o Bertie [published ia a late ObsnrverJ were tabled in the BeDate to-day, 24 to 'iiO. A motion to recousid;ji’ v.ae defeated, 4o to ” This result would have Deen more gratifying if it hid been arriv^ at with some anpfoaeh to ananimi- ty. That ancb reaoTutieiiB should have been sup- ported by 22 Senators is astonishing. Thb Old Issde.—We a^-rain remind our readers of the approach of the period when the Old Issue of Treasury Notes will become wortolaas. Only six teen days remain in which they can be converted into the New Issue. There was an indication that Congress migh^ pass a law to extend the time, but as nothing conclusive has been done to that effect, and as Congres* will doubtless take a recess in a few days till after the 1st of January, it la not well to make any calculations upon an extension of the time. Send in the notes at once. We are inclined to think that there is a large amount of them yet in the hands of the people, for they are paid to us daily. It might be well for those who hold considerable amounts to follow the example of a gentleman in an adjoining county who has just sent $li,0(»0 of them to be invested in the untaxable 6 per cent. Confed erate bonds, the most desirable description of Con federate securities, as we think. See advertisement of these bonds. ______ Rkliep OF ouB suFFKBiNO Pkisonbbs. We un derstand that the Cumberland Hospital Association of this plac‘d has jnst appropriated nearly $2,000 o*. its funds to purchase tobacco for the Confederate prisoners at Elffira and Jchnson’s Island. Also that other amoonta have been sent from this place for the same purpose; and that the citizens of Manchester, in this county, have jost sent a large quantity ot clo thing and other useful articles. It may be well to mention, that tobacco is be;,tcr than money to send, and that it can kK; boagut in Bichmond cheaper than here, and tranaportatiun to BuihaMod eswd. general ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA.

The Military bill ia its prerant form Is so far from m-ietirg th^ acceptance or' the Senate as to have breh Isid on the taUe by that hcdy in order to permit the introdi'Ctiop of a new bill on she subject.

P. Refoobes,—We cannot understand the feeling manifested by psople in sqme parts of the Confed eracy which prompts them to act^s of unkiudness to refugees. It seems to ns, oo the contrary, that they are entitled to the warm sympathies of all who are so fortunate as to retain their own homes and p^'operty, and tbat oext to the poor who need charity, the re fugees should h*ve extended to them all needful acta of courtesy and kindness. L^t us all ask ourselves how we would feel if we were driven from our homes oy the yankees or by the fear of them—and no ane can be exempt from the liability to ♦his misfortone so long as the war lasts— and were refused common civility froai the people among whom we might take refjge? Any decen^ stranger is entitled to civility and kindnejs; how much more one who has been driven from liis home by the common enemy of ns ali: how much more sti'l whan the refugees are help less women and children!

A list is pnblis led of 117 who died on the passage to Savannah—117 out of less, Jie oelie’^e, tnan 5,000.

Also passed the bill to make soldif'rs’ papers free of postage, and the bill for the employ ment of aU free D^groea and 40,000 slaves to work on forttfications, Ac. Tbe House has parsed a bill to remit the penalty of non-delivery of bacon to this time; aad ttie bill increasing members’ pay 50 pr ct The Hovse is discussing a bill repqrtpd by the committee of ways and means ‘‘to provide more ef- ie tnally for the reduction of the cnrren^’y.” The Richmond papers this morning bring us the follow ing speech of Mr. Lyon, chairman of the committee, which will explain the bill, of which we have not seen a copy. Mr. Lyon said: Since reporting the bill to the House, aad having it printed, the committee of ways and meuia have very carefully revised their work with a view to render the measure they have recom mended M little objectionable as possible. The re sult of tlm reconsideration bas been an order direct ing me to offer an amendment to the third section of the bill M reported, so as to reduce the value to be affixed ^4^he tithe, proposed to be pledged for the redempMb of the currency—cotton from 50 to 25 cents pc?ib.; com from $2 to $l per ^u., and wheat from ^ to $2. Tbe House will readilv see the ob ject and«ff«ct of the prop^'sed amendment. The committee agree in opinion with the Secreta ry of thft i^aaury. that some additional legislation is reftqre and snstftin the currency. The measures heretofore adopted, strong as they were, have n^t had the desired efiect. U’he large circula tion outstanding when the acts of Feb’y 1864 were passed, has been greatly reduced by the process of funding and of taxation; but still, something else to improve the currency and give confidence to the country seeins to be wanting. Prices have not fal len in proportion to the diminution of the currency. Satisfy the country that the paper money issued by the Government can and will be paid, and you will remove the main cause of its depreciation. The plan recommended by t^ie Secreta»7 of the Treasury, and ‘embraced, with some few modificetions, in the bill of the committee, ought, I t*^ink, to satisfy the public mind that the treasury not^s, authorized to be is sued, will rest upon a stable foundation—that tneir ultimate payment would be well secured. The 1st section of the bill exempts Treasury notes from all taxation. The 2d section provides that, pendinar the war, one- fifth of the Treasury notes annually r“^ceived into the Treasury, in payment of taxes, t>hall be cancelled, until the amount outstanding shall have baen reduc ed to 150 millions. The 3d section provides that, after peace, the tithe received by the'gov’t of the annual crop of cotton, com and wheat, in the ratio of four-n'nths of cotton, four of corn, and one-ninth of wheat, shall be applied to the redemption of all Treasury notes in circula tion, till the whole amount shall have been redeem ed; the cotton (if the amendment proposed by the comqiittee is adopted) to be valuea at 25 cents per lb., com at $1 per bushel, and wheat at $2. The4th section continues the tax in kind on these articles, after the war with a proviSon that persons papng the same shall receive credit for tneir market value, so as to equalize their taxes with othe>’ tax payers. The 5th section provides that holders ofTreasury notes, willing to avail themselveH of the lien offered on cotton, com ud wheat, may c'^nvert the san* e into Treasury certificates, bearing six per cent, interest from the time of the conversion, payaole aanually the helders of such certificates to receive payment therefor in cotton, corn and wneat, at the prices and in the proportions stated, at an avera^ of one-fifth annually until the whole amount is paid. Tha tith section provides, that all plaacers and farmers liable to the tax in kind are to be allowed to use these Treaaarj certificates in payment oi their taxes, if they pref-:r to do so. These certificates are made assignable, and the public faiih is solemnly pledged for- th •. fulfillmeat of the pro- Too laiitiiniT artiiiU»a of cotton, corn and wheat were selected as a security for the re demption of the currency, because ef the fact that they are of great3r, more uoiform and more certain value than other productions of the sai. Producers of these artidee will have no reason to complain 6f their selK^ tion, for the reason that they receive credit on tax ac count for their market value, when delivered to the Gov- emment, so as to place thean upon au equality with" other tax-payers. The only question, then, to ¥e considered is, will thi-^ pledge secure the nltirnate redemption of the currency now out dad to be issued? Tha amount of Treasury notes to be issued is limited by law, and this limit will be A- nually reduced under the process by which one-fifth of what may be re«*eived in payment of taxes will be can celled until the circulation is roduc^ to onejiundred and fifty millions The security provided by the bill may ba fiirly esti mated as follows; Annnal crop of corn supposed to be raised in tha Con- fe-ierate States in the existing state of thing.^, "iOO,- 000,000 bushels, one-tenth 20,00 J,000, At |1 25,000,000 bushels of wheat, one-tenth 2,6.X>,0-X), at $i Cotton, average crop annually for five years :\£ler tbe war, 8,0j0,000 bigs, one-tenth 300,000, at f i;£5 last a youth named John fceyser, aged aboat 15, be came entangled in the machinery at the Arsenal ind Armory in this place, where he was working, kud was'crashed to death, being horribly mangled.

OpraAOKs IN Coustt.—The following'is an extract from a letter just received by us: — Near Mount Airy, N. C., Due. ‘2d, 1864. Messrs E. J, Hale & Sons:—in pour issue of 28th ulk, I noticed that a correspondetnt iafMiaa you ttiat a citiz^ of this county, Surry, was robbed by a band of lawless men. Instead of oa" ctilzeo, s »oie 6 or 8, in the western part of this county, w.-re robbed of money, clothing aad »}foo»t everything that could be carried off A very aged aJy who had prepared her phrcud, bad it taken trom htT. After committing th'ise depredations the robbe*rs re-crossid the mouutuins into Allegheny, threatening to return and burn our Court House. A aufiScient force is now in Ailcghany and it is hoped that tbs robbers will be rerret d out aud d‘»'t with in the most sammary manner.

The next inquiry is, would the holilt>rs of Trea^u'-y notes be willing to invest in these Treasury certificateb? It w.)ald certainly bo to their interest to do so We may reasonably expect such prices as 25 cants per pound for 0Q6 dollar per busheLXor corn, nod two dollArs per bushel for whoat, to continue for at least fi«re years ^.ftei the war. and if so, those who mijjht invest wo aid be rtimboraed in the equivalent of apecii* for their Trea sury notes, in addition to receaving annual interest in the mealtime. If my estimate of ihe production of coMon, corn and whsfit, after the war, should be considi^red by any as ex- travAgant, I have only to say the cenjas of iHtiO snows that the crops of these articles raided in the States now composing the Confederacy, in one year, am laated, in corn, to 417,ftu0,804 bushels; in wheat, 43,»S9.291 bushels; in cotton, 6,186,646 bags. We have no reason to suppose that these crop^, after tbe war, will fall off one half. mlSiimwiBiqwiiii miMi.gr »tXTk!:;?to says:— D ^ Stockhcldsrs of the 0. & R R.

Up to 3 p. m they bad advanced as far in this direction as South west meeting house, four miles below here, on the sonth side of the river, when a p''rtion of the 6th N. C. Cavalry engaged them in a skirmish, which was kept up for two hours, the yankees gettinir the worst of the combat. One man on our side, of the 6th Cavalrv, is reported killed, and another wounded. At daylight this morning, the latest intelligence from tbe front re ports the yankees falling back towards Newbem, whilst other reports say that they are at the Wise Fork, five miles below this place, and that a general engagement may come off to-^ay. From the most reliable inlormation that I have been able to gather, os to the enemy’s forces, they will not number ex ceeding 1,500. However, everything is as yet in a fog, and nothing reliable up to this writing. You mey hear from me again to-morrow.] [We learn that information was received in this city yesterday, that an engagement occurred later in the day on the 12th, at Foster’s creek, and that tbe enemy received a sound thrashing. Editors Confederate. From South Carolina and Georgia.—The ene my on Friday afternoon ^ade an attack on our lines at Coosawhatchie and were again badly repulsed. The heaviest fighting was between a yankee brigade of infantry aud artillery, 3000, and the Gleorgia troops under Gen. Gartrell, not over 900. The fight was hotly contested. The musketry firing was terrific. Skirmishing commenced early in the morning, and ccntihued to 4 P. M., when the engagement became general. The enemy attempted to gain possession of the Tilifinny Cnt and trestle work, an important position commanding the railroad at Coosawhatchie. Our troops, on the enemy’s approach, gave a cheer and charged them with great ^lantry. The fight lasted about 2^ hours, the enemy bciug finally driven back to their mtrenchm.2nt8. The enemy’s loss is said to have been very heavy; -ours will not exceed 100 siiied and wounded. From prisoners taken in this fight as welt as trom some of our men w''0 were captured and escaped, we learn that tbe enemy eatimate thair loss in last Thursday’s fight at 7X> to 800 killed and wounded. Oar loss was 7 killed, 50 wounded.

Tiie Augusta Sentinel of the 11th reports Sher man’s army still moving towards Savannah, and a orevalent opinion that ha intends to attack that city, though there were reports that he had turned off in the direction of Sister’s Ferry, on the Savannah, in^ dicating an intention to cross into South Carolina. The Wilmington Journal of the 13th mentions (t,o doubt) a report there that Sherman was shalhng Sa vannah, or at least the railroad approaches. Of course if trae we should have had confirmation of it before this by telegrapn. Sherman's Movements.—The latest news from Sherman is, that on Satnrday he was at Blooming- dale, on the Central Ge6rgta railroad, 15 miles west of ciavannah- It was not absolutely certain wheth er it was in his programme to attack the city, to slide awaT down to the coast, or endeavor to force a passage of the Savannah river.en route for Port Roy al. O'! - position at Savannah is difficult, as involv ing the necessity of protecting both the c’ty and some 10 miles ot the Savannah and Charleston rail road, which, leaving the city on the west, curves to the north and crooges the river 8 miles above.

In fact, until reaching tne point named, he foaud nothing •>ut a thin picket line of the eaemy. The objects of the reconnoisaance having v>een foliy accomplished, iiea. Longstreet retum*^ to nis origiual position, which he reached on Saturday night. We killed a few of the enemy’s pickets and took a few of them prisoners. Our loss was one mt,Q killed aad oevaral wounded. By this reconnoissance the act uat podtion flfiheenemy’a line of heavy dafencea on the nordi sfdt! oTJames river was ascertained. Instead of running northwest from Fort Harrison and hogging our line even to the Charles City road, as had been believed, at least by civilians, it runs from the Har rison dne east to New Market Heights, which is at least four miles farther distant from the city than f he fo'mer point. Between New Market and the left of our line there is no fertification or entrench ment of consequence, and, as we have stated, was found on Saturday to be held only by a picket line. I'hongh our troops, both in going out and returning, traveled over the ground from which the yankees have been threatening to shell Bichmond, they dis covered no big guns and no preparations for mount ing them.—Rich Dispatch, 12th.
