Mr. Sparrow of Li-iana, introduced tbe
-following, whu h ha asked the immc
diate actum f the Senate :
A bill to nm-nd the act.tr rov.de an
invalid corps, apF"! February Zj Uoi.
' ritf Conrre of the Confed'ratt utaU of
America do W.'That the provi-sioosof the
wid act be, and they are hereby es'endrd to
alloffi.-er iirm-commissioned officers, musi
cians and privates of the army, ar.t.1 seamen,
ordinary seamen, landm'n and boys of the
navy, and the non-cnimiHsionpd 43SceT
mnsiciaas-aml privates of the marine corps,
-who have heretofore resigned or bean dis-c,.irf-(l
honorably, or who may hereafter re
sign orb discharged honorably from .the
service in ignorance of the above recited act."
Mr. Sparrow said this bill was designed
for the relief of tnosc officers and others who
hid resigned or otherwiso left service beforo
the passage of the net establishing the Inva
lid Corps. It was before thp Senate at the
bif.t session and was passed with great una
nimity, hut for some reason had been over
looked, or at least not .parsed by the House.
Th bi'l was raised and ordered to be sent
to the House. ' , .
Mr. Sparrow introduced the following,
which whs considered" iind passed tinanirious
ly.at.d ordered to be sent to the Umise.
" A bill to amend an art entitled an act to
organize fores to serve during the war ap
proved February 17, 1 84;
" The Cong re. of the Confederate States of
America do enact. That so'mnrh of the Gfth
taction of the said act a-i provides that the
persona mentioned there, shall not be u-.jurred
to perform service out of the State in which
they reside, be suspended for sixty days."
The italicised words of the fol'owing clause
are those which this bill, if passed by the
lower House, will suspend for sixty days :
Provided that tho persons mentioned1 in this
section (all white male residents of the Con -federate
States bctwepn the ages of seventeen
and eighteen and forty-five and fifty) shall
constitute a reserve for State defence amide
tail duty, and shall not be required to perform
service out of the State in which thni reside.
On motion, by Mr. Semmes, tho Senate ad
journed. HOUSE OF niU'IlHSCNTATIVES.
EXEMPTION OK STATE OFFICERS.
Mr. Staples, of Virginia, from the Committee
to whom was referred a resolution directing an
enquiry into the expediency of applying to tba
several States for sucn a mouinoaue-H oi iuu
laws of the States as shall have the effect i
decrease the number of exemptions from mili
tary service of State officers, reported that they
considered it highly expedient that an appeal
be made to the several State Legislatures, o as
to modify their exemption laws as to leave sub
ject to military service State officers between
the ages of eighteen and f.irty Are years, wbo!e
presence at home may not bo essentially ne
cessary to conduct and carry on the operations
of their respective Governments, fhe Com
mittee further recommend the appointment of
a joint Committee, to consist of one member
from each State on the part of the Hous, and
such number as may bo appointed, by the
Senate, whose duty it ill be to acertsdn the
number of officers in each one of the severM
Statea, exempted by existing laws from mili
tary service in the armies of the Confederate
States, for the purpose of carry it g on the
Government cf said States : and if the number-
eo exempted be larger than the public necessity
shall seem to require, that the Committee pre
pare and report to the House an addrc-s, ap
pealing to each one of "aid States to bo modify
their respective exemption laws as to render
liable to suilitary service all able bodied men
between eighteen and forfy-five years of age,
whose servicas iu their several offices may be
temporarily dispensed with, without detriment
to the Government of said States.
Mr. Staples, iu submitting the report of the
enmmittre, siid that it was obvious that some
notion ought to be tak-n, either by Coupnss
. or the State Legislatures, to bring into the mil
itary service the hirgo class of men vlio arc
now exempt under th State laws. The sta
tistics of the Conscription l'ureau show that
there are more than thirty thousand men who
aie out of the army on the plea ol State ex
emption. A'irginia retains at home of this
class, 1,400; North Carolina about 15.000;
St,th Carolina 4u0j Alabama, 1.074; Mis-.-issippi
110; Georgia, it is supposed, between
12 and 15,000. It was clear that all these
men were not needt d at home, and that the
number might be reduced without detriment
io the public service. Tho Governors of the
several Southern Stat-s had recently met at
Augosta to hold counsel upon the ate of the
country; they put forth a serie of resolutions,
which were excellent, as far as they went; but
they did not go far enough. They weretilont
upon the sill jeeUf State exemptions, a.fcub-
jeei over whtc.i they haa auuiruy over an
others.
Mr. Staples said he was in favor of making
an appsal to the States an cari'i-t and re
spcctiul appeal. He e'.ivcd tlmt the State
L.g!aturT3 comprehended the crisis of the
couutry. Hetelicvcd thty w..u'd see tliat

Mr. J.T. Leach, of Noith Carolina, ra'd

OLD SERIES, "I
VOL. V. J
that the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Sti
ples) had said that., in a certain event, h
would be willing t blot oUt the last reniaent
of Ssa'e sovereignty. Ho wished to know if
su h a mnstrcus proposition was ever advo
cated by General Washington. He (Lpach)
was a States Rights man, -and he could n..t
vute for thf resolution which , looked to the
conscription of State officers.
North Carolina,. continued Mr. Leach, had
come in for a good share of the remarks from
the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Staples.)
lie stood ready to vindicate North Carolina.
She had given to this war more than one
hundred aiid eighteen thousand men, which
was more, in proportion to her population,
than any other tite in the whole Union,
North or South. The mortality statisticks of
the war show, too, that North - Carolina has
lost one ax'.d a third per cent of her troops,
while Virginia bad loetbut: a llttlo oyer oaf
half pes et He watired of'thlfi'cant that
they were having in the House. Where was
the evidence of North Carolina not bavin;
done her whole duty in this war? A great
hue and cry had been raised about Georgia,
because Governor Brown and Vice-President
Step hens dared to differ from the. anoinlttL
lis wished to say tnat he endorsed every word
that had been uttered by Governor Crown
and every line that had been written by Mr.
Stephens. If that be treasun he asked the
pour privilege of being hanged with them.
Mr. Miles of Sjath Carolina, eid that it
was a painful souice of regret to hirnto.sre
party feeling exhibited in the legislativs halls
of the nation .at a time like this. Oar only
hope of success iu this struggle was the clo
sest and most fraternal union among ourselves.
Exasperation and division could only he fatal
to our cause. It was, therefore, with great
and peculiar regret that he had heard the re
nin ks of me gentleman from North Carolina,
(Mr. Leach.) He had never heard a word
uitered on tfcat floor about North Carolina,
that was calculated to wound the sensibilities ;
of auy man. No one wished to withhold his
admiration of tho good part done by the noble
oldJS'orth State, much less not to give her
credit. He belieted that to institute compari
sons of what such and such .States had done ,
was in bad taste, and would produce no good.
The Military Committee had never been able
to ascertain the precise numbers furnished by
the several States to . tho army. He was .
willing to say that. all the States had done
their best, aud he would cheerfully accord
that North Carolina had done as well as any.
Mr. Miles said he regretted to hear this talk
about ' peace, " reconstruction, " 44 conven
tiou of States, " &c. He believed that it could
only injure us. It would encourage the enemy
iu the prosecution of the war,- stimulate them
to greater eiforts, while it coali only tend to
depress our own people. It wa idle to talk of
our "frieuds at the North." We have none.
IJjth Mr. VaUaudigham and Mr. Pendleton,
who are cited a' the most prominent cf the
44 friends" of the South at the North, have de
clared, over tiieir own signatures, that they
will never surrender the Union, ana tnat tney
will struggle on to the bitter end for its re
construction. McClellan, too, wtjen he was
nominated, as was understood, on a peace plat
form, deliberately kicked the platform from
under him and declared that the 6rst and only
bject of tnia War was the restoration of the
Uuion. He had heard from a gentleman of
great iutelligeoce who had been in Tvston,
that the sentiment of the people there was fur
carrying on the war until every negro wss free
and put iu posses.-ion of our lands and homes
and that the people!' itoston were particularly
anxious to make a negro colony of South Caro
lina. With tbese facts before us, was anything
needed to eh&w the utter futility of all tin Ulk
cf peace coming to us througn a conveutiuu of
the States. He believed ihat a deputation sent
to tae Eiuprur af Chiua would be of as much
asistauce to us as a deputation to Washington
city, if we wers m quest of recgnitioc. He
had uo doubt that much covrld be triected by
wise and dexterous diplomacy. Diplomatic
agents could have done us much good secretly,
if they had been iuruisneu wnn means, lor
money is valuable everywhere ; but should we
fr. i3.t .'oi imnression upon the Northern mini
that we are weary of the war, it would only sti
mulate them to a more vigorous prosecution of
it.
Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, said that he
belU-ved that the statittics furnished by the
Conscription Bureau of the number of tbe ex
empts iu Ihc ditlereot S.utes wtre faUo aud
uuielnttle. Certainly they could not be de
pended upon. He would take, for instance,
the lollowmg figures, a part of a table furnished
to the Chuirmau of the Military Committee :
The table here al faded to, may be found
at the head of an editorial in another column
of this paper.
Tho very lace of this table, said Mr. Smith,
shows th fallacy of the figures. He would
not do Georgia the injustice to Kay that she
had only 2,053 a littla over two thousand
exe.npted from reasouof wounds and physical
disability, when North Carolina is put down
as having 23,055 over ticenty-cighlUiousdud .
Who would believe that Noith Carolina has
nine hundred aud ti;ty-ix physicians exempt,
when Georgia, a larger aud more populous
Suae, has but three hundred aud iwwuot
one-third the number, Mr. Smith s?4d it
wa u.mjIcss to make further comparisons
Tl.e-inconsistency of tl.e table was so glaring
ai.d its fallacy was so apparent, that any one
wcu'id see it who would merely glauce at its
liures.
Mr. Smith said North Carolina needed no
d.i.np.H. .She had sprung to the wr with
htr sword in her hand, aud she would i.evr
abandon the struggle while she could raise a
man or a dollar, until our independence was
aohie.d. '
Mr. Puote said he was.m favor ot an ap
peal to the St.tes, a recommended by tne
cvmnutiee. He bhowtd say nothing of 2wrln
Carols. He left the du;y of vindicating her
to ler own Kep:cntativcs.
Mr Fun.sten,of Virginia, (interrupting)
Chu the gentleman say when, wnere a..d by
whom North Carolina was crer arraignea 1
lie knew that invitations had . been jiiv.ii to
gentlenitn on the tbor to make attacks uju

RALEIGH, N. C. THURSDAY. KOYEMBER 24. 1864.
Mr. L-Pter, of Georgia Mr. Speaker, I
rise to a point f order. It is this. The gen
tleman must confine himself to the question
before the H --u.se.
Mr. Foot- I never rise in this House with
out boico technical point of order beiuj raised.
I can never allude, in my remarks, to the
official authoiities, without a half dozen, sen
tiemen springing to their feet, and raising
points of "order." I am not going to be
choked off in this way. Men here have made
skulking attacks unon Vice President Ste
phens ; they .have said of him what they dare
not say to "his face. It was in order to de
nounce the Vice President, but it was nt in
order to vindicate him. It was iu order
Mr, Miles (rising) Mr. Speaker, tho gen-J .
tlcman from Teiincs-see (Mr. fcocte) speaks
of " skulking- attacks " being made upon Vice
icsiaent oiepucos. i
gentleman. I wish the gentleman from
Tennessee to say if he means to say I have
made a 44 skulking attack'
Mr. Foote No, sir, a very open one.. I
call all attacks in secret sessions 44 skulking
attacks'
Mr. Foote (resuming) God knows what I
could say in " order." But 1 will try to be
in order and occupy a small space in that ex
tensive field which other gentlemen have
occupied with so much energy and with so
much eloquence.
Mr. Foote (continuing) Mr. Speaker, the
gentleman from South Can Tina says we have
nofiiendsin the North. I make issue with
Lim. I say we have friends good, true,
valliaut friends in the Nrth. Every vote
given for McCJellan was for peace. Every
vote given for McClelian was a vote against
Lincoln's African policy. Every vote given
fvr McClelian was a vote given for an armis
tice. If McClelian had been elected, he
(Foote) was prepared to make from his seat a
proposition for a convention of the soverefgn
States, North and South, aud he beliejred that
.the South would 'have secured from it peace
and her independence. If the South had met
the North in convention, she would have pro
uosed a league, offensive aad defensive, with
the North tor the strict eniorcement ot me
Moume doctrine, a liberal commercial treaty,
and we should soon hare had the whole
North American domain, and perhaps Cuba.
We had no friends in Europe. It was folly
to talk of it. We, had more sympathising
friend in the North alone than in all the rest
of the World.
Mr. Foote said that he believed, with the
gentleman from South Carolina, that the pre-
nent was no t lme lor us to oner terms oi peace ;
to the enemy. The North was preparing for
war, and be hoped to God we were too. But
there was evidence that the North, too, was
grawing weary of the war. His attention had
been called to a letter from one who had figur
ed so prominently as the chairman ot the De
mocratic Convention at Charleston Butler.
Thank God he was never a political associate
of bis. Nor waa Caleb Gushing ever a poli
tical associate of his. He had years ago de
nounced hiiu as an unscrupulous scoundrel. -Infamous
as Butler u, his letter looks to peace,
though the terms proposed by him were such
as could not be accepted by the South. It re.
ferred to the sendiug of commissioners from
Washington. If such a commission did ceme
bcariugany propositions from the Govern
ment at Washington looking to peace, he be
lieved that it was the duty of our Govern
raent to receive it, but he did not think that
Congress s-houhl pass upoa it, but that it
ahould be submitted to the several States for
i-ach one of them to decide upon it in their
sovereign capacity.
Mr. Foote s-ai-l that ' he expected that pro
positions for peace would come from the
North. The war could not last much longer.
Iftbis'war should last four years loner an
iron despotism would grow up both in the
North aud South, and the last vestige of liber
ty would disappear. It would be the down
fall of liberty over the whole continent, and
the establishment of a despotism more grind
ing than ever Poland guttered from.
"t tb conclusion of Mr. Foote's remarks,
Af- r'L,L- ,nv..flt() nnstoone the further coa-
sideration of the question.
Mr Stnlcs asked the indulgence of the
House to t-av a few words in reply to tbe
