' - -..k But the very great respect I have for tbe.Legisla v tore, and my earnest desire to secure their aid and co operation, prompt me to inake this communication, - however imperfect or unsatisfactory it may jbe. : "' v For the first time in the history of this! State we have to deplore the death of a Governor. The Hon. . John W. Ellis, lte Governor of this State, died at the Red Sulphur Springs, Virginia, on the 7th July last. ;. M( :,y . . ,, ' ' , ';(. ;(-(;.. .-. (j, v h-. This communication might afford an appropriate place for a tribute to his worth and rheriit ; but bis public and private virtues have .bivt recently? been cah- vassed through'the State, and their thorough endorse ment by the people constitute his highest reward while . living, aud a rich legacy to survive him. . j 1 j The great struggle which now "rages throughout cur r country excites the most intense interest at home and abroad. Jt is needless, to argue to ourselves, or the world, the justice or propriety of our course j We pa ;; tiently yielded to every expedient and listened to eve ry promise in behalf of that Union, around Which had so long clung our interest and dearest affections. But suddenly the muitk was raised,' and we sawj before us the sword of the Tyrant, and henceforth there was no ...( hesitation in our course. ' ' I ; An Extra Session ' of the Legislature irnmediately convened,, arid "witH no dissenting voice, submitted the issue to the people in Convention, which unanimously - passed the ordinance of separation and dejiverance j and, that act has been sustained and ratified by the : people with an unanimity unparalleled in the history of the political struggles of the world. ( Men who but yesterday ' were fronting eat h other in fierce antTangry debate on this very issue', $Te to-day ' marshaled side by side in the same ranks banded like brothers, and staking "their- lives, the r fortune's and their sacred honor" in the common cause. ;". (;-. The unanimity of North Carolina in this great struggle, while it must ensure sjuece&s,-enYIeIlishes a page-in her history , as brilliant as the victory-which achieves her independence. ' , ' Suddenly thrown into this great struggle, without an army or the organization to support one, we find goffered to us an army of volunteers, who; lave come forward with brave hearts and willing to enlist in the cause of their country. To "sustain .thisciourse and make jt effective in the field, the Legislature have voted am pie -powers to the Executive, and devolvtfl qu those . entrusted with the administration of affair i a fearful responsibility. - , ; - The Convention which assembled soon "after, riot foreseeing the increasing demand for troops, and dis approving of the provisions of the Legislature for rais ing and equipping volunteers, repealed ther i without - providing a substitute. , i," . Under the influence of the action of the. Convention Companies were disbanded, and a check was given to: volunteering, whicbwas liKely to prove in jurious.P-These- circumstances, with a ' certainty of i call for .(( more troops, induced me to vary somewhat from the . policy pi-escribed by the Convention a change which " I think they themselves would have sauct'oaed under .the changed aspect of affairs. I might safely say that . the defence of the coast, and the call for troops from Virginia, rendered it necessary. ,' . j (. The Convention, with ample powers frdn the peo pie j repealed this law of the Legislature. j ttiut they V- did not repeal or modify the power -of legislating graritgd by the Constitution to the General Assembly, ' and as it was only a concurrent power eiej-cised by . the Convention , the General Assembly have still the same power to legislate on that particular; Sunject as v lefore; and the Convention making its repeal to take' effect only after the meeting of the Legislature seem to indicate a design or expectation that j sbrriethirig ' shotild be done. , I must, therefore, press jit on your MmtneUiate attention. ; 1 In connection with the subject of '.v)lilnteoring, i will suggest .the propriety of some ltesulation .whereby it may be equalizeil among the several counties : and among the .-.different district of rthe same county. Some- counties and parts of other . counties have already furnished more than their.ull ijuuui, -uiue ciiiers nave ueen more taruw in tneir ... movement'', and, thus have not the envied privilege of serving their country. This could be done by select- tugtjwwe counties which liave furnished-fewest yolim- teers, and pointing out the mxle of,enrolling! them from those rounties. It is fair and equitablie, that in each county a just proportion should be observed, be tween those who remain to take care- of the homes, aud maki provision tor the absent soldiers, rind those who go forth to risk their all for the Countiiv. iuc r.(tuviauica ui iue oiaie iihvc iieenjaiia con tinue tf) be very large.

Require the same j v duty of all, and it; will be more cheerfullv lsubmitted to. A mihtaa system, with arms in the hands of the people, should be Bustained as one of the main insti- ' tutions and props of a free country, i They are the Volunteer National Guards of a Republic a substi--tute for the standing army of Despotism. . It is mortifying to our State pride to think that we have hitherto been so dependent on the Northern States for even the means of defenceincluding all the munitions of war, and spprehensions have been felt among' u. that the want of these might impaii the means and resources of maintaining this war. But from a recent survey, made by our able State Geolo gist, Prof.' Emmons, I am gratified to state that we have in our midst, within a few miles of the North Carolina I-Kail road, a most extensive and valuable supply, of lead, now ready to be taken up ; and he further reports that we have the material for the man ufacture of gunpowder. The most valuable ingredi ent of powder, saltpetre, is found abundantly in the limestone caves in Tennessee, Georgia and North Ala bama. A company is now engaged in the western part of the State ror the manufacture of powder, arid if any assistance is required; I would suggest that the State should furnish aid for the purpose of facilitating the supply of this necessary material, which the1 blockade of our coast now effectually cuts off. t . j The blockade of our coast and the non-intercourse: around our borders have established two very import ant facts. First, that in our commercial relations we have become entirely dependent on the North for al most every article that we use connected with ma- chinery, farming, merchandize, food and clothing, both the luxuries and nece?saries of life, including almost every article needed for our defence. The sec ond and more important fact is also now established, that we have means and material for supplying all these wants within our own borders. Necessity is developing these resources and driving us to the use of them. . . The continuance of this war and blockade for two or three years may inflict much personal suffering, but it will surely accomplish our national and com 'mercial independence. . 1 If the war were to terminate soon, our political rights might be secured, but trade would resume its old channels. Time alone will successfully divert the course of trade, but when once diverted it becomes more difficult ever to restore it. Once check and turn off the great flood of Northern trade, and Southern labor, Southern trade, and Southern capital will roll their strength together to establish Southern prosper ity arid independence. ' And it is equally important to us to establish our commercial as' our polltioal independence. A de cisive victory' may establish our political rights in a single day, but a continuance of this war and blockade can only accomplish the other. ' To us the blockade and war is a sharp but tem po-rary-pairi, but it is a slow consumption preying on the vitals of Northern wealth and commerce. . I must. conclude this communication by stating that there are some other subjects that 1 must submit to she consideration "of the Geueral Assembly in a special , message, which I will do at the earliest moment. , , HENRY T. CLARK. Executive Office, 1 August 16th, 18G1. J SuUlance. of the Bemarku of WM. H.: THOMAS, of Jackson Co., in the Senate, August ' 17th, upon the Eesolniions in favor of the election of Governor to supercede Governor Clark: ' Mr. Thotnas said he did not rise for the purpose of troubling the Senate with a speech on the resolutions, but only to assigu some of the reasons which would influence his vote upon the piesent occasion, - which would be found in accordance with his vote given upon a similar occasion, caused by' the resignation of Gov. Reid. - The enator from Burke, (Col. Gaither) who has just closed an able argument in favor of the passage of the Resolutions, as well as the Senator from Orange, relies. upon the death of Governor Ellis hav-: iug created a vacancy in the office of Governor which it became the duty of the General Assembly to fill. The question, therefore, to determine is, has the office become vacant ? 2nd, Has the General Assembly . power under the Constitution, if vacant, to fill it by; the election of a Governor? ' . , . -Mr. T. contended that the office had riot become vacant, arid even if fit had then that the General As sembly had no power to fill itbecause by the amend ment to the Constitution of 1835, the power was transferred to, the people-themselves. ' l In support of these positions which he assumed, he relied ou the 19th section of the old C)iistitution to support the former, and upon the amendment article 11, and custom and precedents from the adoption of the Cnstitution, in 1776, to sustain the latter. He (Jontcnded that the last part of the 19th sectiou made provision for tilling the office of Governor, upon his death, &c. not by au election to be held by the Gen eral Assembly,' but by other officers sworn tbpei'fotm the duties imposed on them by the Constitution, ar ticle 19, after specifying the powers conferred ou the Governtr- of the State, making the following provision : " And on his death, inability or absence frohv the State, the Speaker of the Senate, for the time being. aud in case of, Ms death, iuability, or absence from ! flie fetate, the Speaker of the House of Common e shall exercise the powers of Governor, after such aeatn, or during such absence, inability of the Gov ernor or Speaker of the Senate, dr until a new nomi--nation is made by the General Assembly." Under this clause of the Constitution' Mr. T. ccitt-f tended that no vacancy had occurred foir the General. Assembly to fill. Upon the death of Gov. Ellis, by the Constitution, the duties of the office devolved upon the Speaker of the Senate, Henry T. Clark, Esq. Arid that the Constitution had pointed out the con tingenciesupon which alone he could be deprived of the office, and who should be his successor. "Death," "inability' or "absence" from the State. In the hap pening of either of these contingencies the Constitu- tion provides that the duties of the office of Governor shall devolved upon the Speaker of the Htmseof Com mous; consequently until the death of the latter no vacancy, he submitted, could occur in the 'office, and it was time enough after the. vacancy ocpurred to con sume the time of the General Assembly in determin ing upon the mode of filling it. The contingency never had happened, and it very probably never will. There was business of pressing necessity that required immediate action, growing out of the war which the Lincoln government is now waging against the South ern States for their subjugation. The. lives, liberty and property of all our citizens were staked on the issue of the conflict; Prompt action, therefore, be came necessary in every department of the Govern ment. No time for discussing or making uselass changes, especially as. the General Assembly has no power to make them. ' Retaliation. Since the Federal Congress, in the gteat abundance of their inhumanity and meanness, has thought proper to, confiscate all property belong ing to Southern men, it would be both "riht and proper that bur State authorities, as well as those of otter Southern States, should refuse . the payment of all claims due Northern men, especially all interest due on Siate bonds owned North. ; And besides, if the work of confiscation has already begun, , as we learn it has in Alexandria, all property in the Smth, held by Northern men, should be seized im mediately .and the proceeds.be applied to the payment of the ex penses of the war. There is in this State, , as well perhaps as in other Southern States,- a' large' amount ot Uuds, gold and copper mines?, and other spU pies of property held by Northern men, some, if nbf all, of whom are at this very time contributing funds to aid m our subjugation. S hall we send them money to arm and seud out their miserable hordes to butcher our citizens insult our mothers and wives, sisters and daughters, burn our towns and devastate our lands?

Wisnal, owner of thesta-es running tri-weekly from Wilson to Greenville, and . from tins town to Greenville, to discontinue the former line and run his four horse stages from here to Green ville daily, excepting Sunday.

The Convention should meet no more. It had done all for which it was called into being, and much more. It had undone what the Legislature had well done, but did not hare the practical ability to repair what it had undone. If wa afoot practical legislation, we must not depend upon the Conventi-mj but, if we would have a great North Carolina Debating Society why, the Convention ought, byall means, be allowed to 'meet. : :( i t. : Mr. Meares spoke at length in vindication of the action of the Convention in reference to the volunteers, but did not attempt to vindicate its interference with acts passed by the General Assembly.

Some were of the opinion, he said, that the term of our Governor, who holds his. office by, virtue of being Speaker of the Senate, will expire on the 1st Thurs day of August; 1862. If that be true, the Convefitim ought to meet to supply the interregnum. ' At any rate, the action of this House should not be precipitate. Mr. Hill said he was not one of those who thought it . could be lowering the dignity of this House by authorising the people ito put an end to the Convention. In the first few days the Convention did all that it was authorised to do. It then remained here about fort v days, undoing w hat the Legislature had done. The Legislature, at its recent sitting had put the State upon a complete war footing. The Convention had' undone all this by disbanding the volunteers i on the 20 inst. He thought it his duty to refer the matter to the people. Mr. Hill spoke at length and ably. 1 ' ' -i The question to refer was decided in the negative yeas ' 39, nays 61. ; , ! Mr. Mebane moved to have the bill printed and make it the special lorder for Friday next. Not adopted. !

He would vote, how ever, for a simple resolution , referring the matter to the people. ! ; i " i Mr. Ferebee thought the tendency of the passage of the bill would be to give aid and comfort to our enemies at the North, who are already boasting that the people of the South are divided. He opposed the bill, also, because he thought it disrespectful to the Convention which passed the ordinance. of secession. - - The bill was further,-debated bv Messrs.

He argued, in reply to Mi. Merrimon, that it was much easier to raise troops by tbe systom of volunteering than by enlistment as pro posed, by Mr. Merrimon, in ' which case (the soldiers had no voice in the selection of their .'officers. '. The Confederate States, be said, could not receive troops in North Carolina except through the authorities, , The call must be n.ade upon them, and they must organize such troops into companies aud regiments, ai d to do this, it required that there should be organized departments.- -; ,( '.('.'

Mr. Clark, of Craven, expressed bis regret that the House had, refused to have the bills printed, . He did not like either bill.'

He ays there is no doubt the design was to to take prisoners and ar rest private citizens, handcuff them, and m;jrch them in the front of the battle for their own protection. The design was infamous. ' It cculd never enter into hearts not Le.'ef t of every emotion of chivalry and self respect. ' It? isfpositively fiendish. It mustinove the South to the njost united, determined and hepoic resis tance that the world has ever seen. My arms were not made to wear handcuffs, nor shall they, while God gives strength to resist. I believe the thirty! thousand handcuffs will !be worth' more than thirty thousand volunteers to' the South. They must inspire the South ' with an everlasting loathing of the race that culd plan for them a degradation so profound that we cannot re taliate without sacrificing our character in the estima tion of the civilized world. : ''Poor Scott !
