understood that the cause of disagreement on
the part of the House to this proposition, was
because it provided tor an equal number on

Journal of yeei day read and approved.
Mr. Gri?som, from tne joint mIi comaiitteo
on hnbfiu corpus, rorted the following res
olutions as a majority report ol said com
mittee :
Renlced, That while the people of North Caro
linahave ever been and still areaxious tosteogthea
the Adicfnistration of the Confederate Government
in every le&'Aitnate way, and to promote the suc
cess of the common causa, in order that we may
have a speedy and honorable peace, we view with
Oeep concern and alarm the repeated and mani
fest infractions -of the censtitution by the Congress
f the Confederate States; and this General As
sembly doth in their name- protest against such
infractions as of pernicious example and fatal ten
dency. ... , . .
lUxulved, That the act af th Ute Congress en
titled "an act to suspend the privilege of the writ
of habtao corpu in certain cases,- violates the
fundamental maxim of republican governments
which requires a separation of the department,
of power, elothes the .Executive, with judicial
functions which Congress cannot constitutionally
confer even on the judiciary itself, and sets at
naught the most emphatic and solemn guaranties
of the constitution. . , i
R'nolwd, That this General A?aombly, repre- !
ictuirg the people of rth Carina, doth not
content to the sacrifice of the vital principles' of
free government in a war carried on solely to
sectire and perpetuate them, and doth declare that
no "conditions of public danger'- presenter pro
spective, probable or possible, can reader the
liberties of the people incompatible with the pub
lic safety. " - -Jihid,
That the act of the same Congress,enti
tied fii act te organize forces to ssrre daring the
vrar Otclai ing: all white men, residents of the
Confederates Sutes, between the age of seventeen
and fiftj torjdn the military service, embracing
in its provisKjP9every.8talo officer in all the de
partments," Executive, Legislative and judicial,
and subjecting all the industiUl" pursuits of the
country to military supervision and control, re
duces the State governments to mere, provisional
admiciftratiuns, dependent on the grace and favor
of Congress, undsr the Executive, is destructive of
State sovereignty and imparts an assurtioa of th
SDWer on tlra . part of Congress, to convert the
onftfderate'Gorer&ment iato a consolidated mil
itary despotism. "
' Rttolved, That this General Assemblv doth
laertiore reque our enaur ana representa
tives in Congress to use -their beat endeavors to
pprocurea repeal of ttu Jir--Tt4eJ r irs
en Ci mocificau.n(r of Jh itacuua snail aecur-f
the right and preserve the integrity of the States
of the Confederacy. ... -

The Battle of Thursday
A Writer from the battle field furnishes some
interesting statements concerning the groat
bttlt of Thursday, the 12th. We copy a
portion: .
During the day two chnrges occurred which
deserve to be mentioned. About two o'clock,
whilst the enemy wore heavily pr ssing enr
right centre, Mahone'e Virginia and Lane's
North Carolina brigades were ordered to charge
the enemy in their front in order to relieve the
line thus heavily pressed.. This was most gal
lautlj executed. The result was that we cap
tured some two or three hundred prisoners and
four stands of colors. Lat r in the day Lane's
brigade was ordered to tike tbe assaulting
column and a btteryin fl ink as a division. Led
by their gallant General, the noble brigade,
under a concentrated galling fire, charged the
battery of six 12 pounder Napoleons, shooting
down the c-inDoniers and capturing the pieces.
Tbe fighting was. in several instances, hand to
hand, one officer having a tuel with a Yankee
captain for his sword. The acts of iudividnal
bravery in this fight, as in that of the rooming,
were numerous. Tbe battery horses not being
at hand, the guns could uot.oe brought off, but
soujo tour huudred prisuer and three stiud of
colors were captured and brought back to our
lints." '
During the melee Gen. Lane, was ordered by
some ."core of Yaukees to surrender ; but, un
armed as he was, he ordered the in to throw
dywn their arms a his prisoner-!. The Yan
kees not redily complying, the General quietly
remarked, Very well, wait a moment, till coy
liue comes up, " whereapoir they quickly threw
down their arms, and ihe General made his
escape. -
Tnc extreme right and left of the -lines were
not engaged during this day, but J'roxa 9 until
12 o'clock in the day of Thursday, the enemy
made repeated asaults in I'ieId'a front, of
B'nnirg's, Law's and Gregs Brigades. Each
time, however, this galbtht division repulsed
the enerry with fenrftibtflaughter to the enemy,
and with the loss of jmere haidfull of our men.
. During the d.iy.Vn other parts of the line there
Was more or less s skirmishing.
In this tuht we lost many bravr ofiioeis
ar.d men, among theru Brig; Gen. Perrin, of
Alabama, was shot dead whilst gallantly lead
ing his brigido in the thickest of the fiht
a fiobjt r spirit or braver man has not be! n
t fiac l a s.i.r;5;c lo this war. Brig. Gen.
I) miel was wounded on Thursday, and died
to-day; Brig. Gen. Stuart, of the Stonewall
Brigade, was also wounded. His arm has
hrpu rejected, and he is doi:g welt; Brig.
Gen. McG.wan was womnhd, but is letrcr.
The following are a few more ofcaaualti in

I have takeu pains to ascertain our bs-s
hi "the tights of Sundny, Tu-sd.iy and "Thurs
day lat, and skirmishing leloro ar.d iilOe
until 4his time, and myfstimate of it is i 500
wounded and 500 kilLd, and peih 'ps we have
Iot 3 000 prisoner. Foe loes of il.e enemy
in these three d:is' Oghts arc put down at
the lowest estimate, at tidrly thousand men.
The enemy surely must be well nigh exhaus
ted ; and it is certainly true, as it S said Gi n.
Lee ha expressed himself, that Grmt's men
are whipped, but Grant is himself, not whip
ped. Grant has two or three Imes of strong,
fortifications l.ehind which toretire If pressed.
Gem ral Lee is well fortified, as Grant knows
by .ad experience.
Yesterday there was nothing of interest and
j day there'is nothing but skirmishing. Our
men are firm in tneir conviction of ultimate
success, and siug cheerfully arouud theircimp
fires at i ight. General Lve stands the latigue
well, and hio frieuds say he is ffiwt cheerful
and bouyaat. I could write almost indefinite?

A gentleman rencbed Peterahurg Saturday,
who left Raleigh Wednesday. He snys the most
iutense auxiety prevailed tliet. and along the
entire line of the Raleigh and G tun Railroad,
to hear of movemenU in Virginia, but incon
sequence of the almost exclusive occupatiou of
the telegraph line with military bime, it was
impossible to obtain vcuch patelligence.
ye regret to hear that the Gubernatorial
election was ocenpyingsj much of the attention
of the pcwpla in Raleigh. Mass meetings wero
of frequent occurrence with the friends of Hid
den nud Vance. In so momentous a crisis as
that iu which the country is now placed the
matter of a gubcrn-Atrtiiil election, sinks into
comparative insignificance. It looks tr.o tnuoa
like Nero fiddling while Rome is burning. The
gallant sons of 5orth Carolina have fallen Ky
hundreds in the recent battle, and her porn!?
will he fifled with mourning, wheft the lists of
killed and wounded LVd have be?u received.
Political struggles shoull be held in nb-yar.e,
when a great tiiuglc like tbe pre&tnt for r.i
