Proceedings or the House of Representatives
in Secret Session on the Militsurr Bill.
; Yesterday the injunction of secrecy on the mili
tary bill in the House of Representatives' 'Ww dis
solved, and the bill, as amended, returned to the
Sen ttt ev.' We have the following synopsis of the
House proceedings in secret session :
The first section of the bill was amended by re
ducing the maximum of the military age irom fifty
five to 'Uorty-five ;" requiring that such persons
shall be in the military service lor the war, "in the
jfoW'ic.
The following substitute for section two, offered
by Mr. Chilton, of Alabama, was adopted :
" All duties as provost and hospital guards, and
clerks, or as .clerks,, guards, assistants, employees
or labourers, in the commissary and quartermaster
departments, in the .ordnance and medical bureaus,
"and in the execution of the enrollment acts, and all
similar duties, shall hereafter be performed by per
sons wao have been disabled from active service in
the field, and who, by a board of surgeons, shall
have been reported fit for theso duties ; and when
these shall have been exhausted the President shall
call upon the Governors of the several States for
the quotas of persons required to make up the
number needed for the performance of the above
mentioned duties, which Quotas shall be taken from
persons not liable to military service in the army of a
In the fourth section, among the list of exempts, f
are included, by amendment offVred by Mr. Simp-!
son, of South-Carolina, officers "Executive and
Judicial of the Confederate and State governments, I
except such State officers as the several States may
have declared, or may horeafter declare, by law, to t

the 10th of April, 1862, to those published "prior j
to that date and since the beginning of the war";
said editor " to be a practical printer." !
On motion of Mr. Smith, of North-Carolina, the 1
following was added to the list of exempts : "the
publio printer and those employed to perform the
public printing for tho Confederate and State go- -vernmenL"
; ' '
In contrast with its illiberality to the press we !
have the following amendment, engineered by Mr. '
Holcombe, of Virginia, and a professor in the Uni
versity of Virginia, extending exemption to a new
class, viz: "all presidents and teachers of colleges
academics, and theological seminaries, who have
been regularly engaged as such for two years pre- ;
vious to the passage of this act : Provided that the i
benefit of ibis exemption shall extend to those i
teachers only whose schools are composed of twenty
students or more."
Physicians over the age of thirty-five years are
exempted, " not including dentists."
On motion of Mr. Smith, of North-Carolina, the
following was inserted :
" And for necessary subsistence there shall be also
exempt one white man, the bead of a family of '
eight or more white persons who are dependent on
his labour forsupport."
The following was inserted in the exemption .
claufe on motion of Mr. Miles, of South-Carolina:
"The President, treasurer, auditor and superin
tendent of any railroad company, over whose rail
road military transportation is performed, and such
officers and employees of such company as the
President or superintendent of such railroad com- !
pany shall certify, on oath to be necessary to the !
efficient operation of such railroad : Provided that ;
the number of persons so exempt by this act on
any railroad shall not exceed one for each mile of
such railroad in actual use for military transporta
tion ; and shall be reported by name and descrip
tion, with the names of any who may leave the em
ployment of tho said company or may cease to be
necessary to the efficient operation of the railroad,
at least once a-roonth, to the Secretary of War, or
such officers as he may designate for that purpose ;
and. Provided furllter, that such President or su- i
perintendent shall, in each such monthly report
certify, on oath, that no person liable to military
service has been employed by this company since
the passage of this act, in any position in which it S
was piacticablc to employ one not liable to inilita- j
ry service, and capable of performing efficiently the
duties of such position."
On motion of Mr. Hartridge, of Georgia, the 1
- 4ottvwig no JJw A -. - - i
"And be itjwther enacted, I hat there shall be j
exempted from military service, under the provi-
ainna nf this npt tha vliitn AfKrors nf anv firfl mm.
pany, organized and in existence in any city of the
Confederate States on the 1st day of January, 1864,
and composed of free persons of colour and slaves :
Provided, that not more than three officers shall be
exempted for each company : and Provided fur
titer, that the persons claiming this exemption were
officers of such Companies on the said 1st day of
January, 1864."
Tho following was stricken out from the original
bill:
" That the President be, and he is hereby author
ized to grant details, under general rules and regu
lations to be issued from the War Deparment, ei
ther from persons between forty-five and fifty-five
years of age, or from the army in the field, in all
cases where, in his judgement, justice, equity and
necessity require that he should make such details,
and he may revoke such order of details whenever
he may think proper."
And, in lieu of the above, the following, offered
by Mr. Pugh, of Alabama, was adopted:
"In addition to the foregoing exemptions, the
Secretary of War, under the direction of the Presi
dent, shall exempt or detail such other persons as
he may be satisfied ought to be. exempted on ac
count of public necessity ; and to insure the produc
tion of grain and provisions for the army and non
producers, he shall grant exemptions or details, on
such terms as he may prescribe, to such overseers,
farmers or planters as he may be satisfied will be
more useful to the country in the pursuits of agri
'culture than in the military service: Provided,
such exemptions shall cease whenever the farmer,
planter or overseer shall fail diligently to employ,
in good faith, his own skill, capital and labour, ex
clusively, in the production of grain and provisions,
to be sold to the Governmeut and non-producers at
prices not exceeding those fixed at the time for like
articles by appraiser of the vicinage under the au
thority of the law imposing the tax in kind, or the
law regulating impressments."
NORTH-CAROLINA.
No dearer legacy could be left to a son of the
old North State, than the proud title -of being a
true North-Carolinian. Modest and unassuming,
she does not force herself upon the notice of the
world at large conscious of doing her duty, she
demands no extravagant adulation for its -performance
; unassuming and retiring, she parades not
the heroic deeds ot her brave sons upon the many
bloody fields, made famous by the daring of her
sainted dead, or her honored living. Before the
gaze of aa envious sisterhood, she stands to-day
the corner-stone of the fabric, the keystone of the
arch. Well may North Carolinians bo proud to
claim her an their mother .
Every acre of Virginia soil, upon which has been
fought a battle, has been consecrated by the blood
of North-Carolina's gallant sons. She has con
tributed her treasure and her blood unsparingly
in this cause, not so much to shield herself, as to
protect ber sister States from foreign hordes; for
North Carolina moved not, until forced to take up
the sword against or for her Southern sisters. Yet
North Carolina has had the finger of suspicion
pointed at her ; she has been treated as unworthy
of the trust of sister Status; she has been de
nounced as disloyal and unsound, and that, too, by '
States a portion of whose sons have proved recre
ant to the trust reposed in. them by her.
This treatment has eaufwd disaffection m the
State ; jealous of her reputation, her sons have felt
injured at the treatment she. has received and be
cause of this jealousy, she in suspected of disloyal
ty 1 This suspicion is falso and unworthy of our
proud old State. She is loy &1 to the cere true as
steel to the cause, but .sensitively jealous of her
rights, which it is her intention to guard against
ell and every authority, tha t may be usurped for
their destruction. Fayette rille 2Tor Ik-Carolinian,

A. Long, Esq., a man noted for his honesty and
hatred of anything, like deception or misrepresenta
tion. I was present at the meeting which was com
posed of the most wealthy and respectable citizens
of the county, to tho number, of. twelve or fifteen
hundred. The meeting was called to order, organ
ized, a committee appointed to draft resolutions
which were produced and read to the meeting by
Robt P. Dick, Esq. The meeting, all this while,
maintaining the beet order, not the lost noise or
confusion in all this large assembly. After Mr.
Dick commenced commenting on tho resolutions a
few boys took a position iq the gallery and made
quite a noise, very tnuch to the annoyance of the
meeting, and to the shame and disgrace of the boys,
and the groat sorrow of their parents.
Can it be possible, some of the leading men in
Greensboro' who were opposed to the meeting, see
ing the large and respectable portion of the citizens
of the county assembling themselves there and know
ing their sentiments to be in favor of the meeting, sud
denly became alarmed for their own popularity, and
encouraged the boys in this disgraceful conduct,
that the C cms ervalwe speakers should Dot be heard ?
We hope not but fear it is so.
The time consumed in transacting the business,
including speaking, was at least two hours instead
of half an hour, as reported by the Obuner'i in
formant If the Observer does not change its re
porters or they give him more correct information
of events, I fear he will not, much longer, have
room to boast of his subscription list In fact, we
fear it is largely on the decline already. We speak
from our own knowledge of the subscription; at
one post office in this county where the Observer,
before it turned Destructive, used to lead the sub
scription list, now it has five subscribers while the
Standard has fifty-six, and we suppose this is in
proportion to tho other offices throughout the
State.
I am not in the habit of writing anything to go
before the public, but when I see things misrepre
sented to answer political purposes, I cannot refrain
from correcting them as far as is in my power.
When the Observer went with the people, I was its
strongest advocate, and never turned my back upon
it till it deserted its best friends in the hour of dan
ger ; but I hope the Observer will yet, before it be
too late, see the error of its way and return to the
people, when the fatted calf shall be killed and there
shall be great rejoicing throughout the land.

Mr. Editor: It has been understood that Giles
Eornegay, of Bentonsville, Johnston county, was
killed in a skirmish with the enemy n the 23d of
July last, but it turns out not to be true. I have
this day had the pleasure of reading a letter from
him. He is a prisoner of war, and he heads his let
ter: Confederate Prison, Camp Mead. He writes
that he is well and has been ever since he has been
there.
You will please make known in your valuable
columns the above, that his friends in Johnston
county, N. C, may know that he is yet living, and
where he is. Truly yours, O. F. R. K.

Mr. Holden: Please do me the favor to ac
knowledge through your paper-the receipt of $20
from the Progress office, and $500 from Mr. P. F.
Pescud, which was. contributed from citizens of
Raleigh, to relieve the distress which was occasion
ed by the loss of my house by fire. No language
I can command can adequately express my gratitude
for this kindness. I can only hope that I may con
tinue to conduct myself in such a manner as shall
secure me the friendship and confidence of our citi
zens generally. A. HOLT.
Raleigh, Feb. 12, 1864.
Lent. Rt Rev. Bishop Ly.ncu has issued the
following instructions for Lent, to be observed by
tne uatnolics ot tne Diocese or Uharleston :
Charleston, S. C, 6th Feb., 1864.
To the Clergy and Laity
Of the Dtocee of Charleston:
The trying circumstances in which our county is
still placed require this year a continuance of the
modifications of the Discipline of the Church, as to
the observance of Lent, which were published last
year.;
In her power of weighing well such ever varying
circumstances, and of prudently adapting her disci
pline in this, and in other matters where change is
allowable, to the varying strength of her children
in her wonderful power of freely and fully doing
this without changing any of the principles, or in
fringing any of tho troths which she received from
her Divine Founder, and which it is her mission to
preach to every creature, the Church gives evidence
alike of her Oneness and immutability, as the "pil
lar and ground of truth," which is ever one and' the
same, and of that Catholicity by which, having been
established for every age and nation, she is, in tho
words of the Apostle, "all things to all men ;" and
there can arise no condition of society in which the
necessities of her children are unknown to her, or
beyond her maternal solicitude.
The- Penitential season of Lent commences this
year on Ash Wednesday, February 10,and closes
with Easter Sunday, March 27.
During this season, by the ancient laws and the
spirit of the Catholic world, the use of flesh meat
was entirely fprbidden, and every day Sundays ex
cepted, was a fast day on one meal, generally to be
taken only after sunset The Church, acting on
the principle already stated, baa variously modified
these regulations of her Discipline ; and in this Dio
cese wo feel that the necessities and the difficulty oi
obtaining such articles of food as are ordinarily de
sired. in Lent, call for a special mitigation.
The use of the Flesh meat will therefore be al
lowed at the principal meal, and, the regulation as
to quantity of food being observed, . at the collation,
on every day during Lent, except Ash Wednesday,
all the Fridays and Holy Saturday, which will re
main and be kept as heretofore.
- Besides the principal meal which should not be
taken before midday, a collation. not exceeding the
fourth of an ordinary meal is allowed, to be taken
in the evening. If, however, the principal meal is
to be taken late in the afternoon, then the collation
may be taken in the morning.
The usual causes exempt from fasting, viz : youth,
old age, hard labor; for females, pregnacy and
nursing. - Those . in the army or navy are also ex
empted.. In cases of doubt, each one should con
sult bis confessor. .
While we are thus released from many of the
usual obligations of Lent, .eur Holy Mother, the
Church, exhorts us and expects us to make, ts it
were, some compensation, by more abundant chari
ty, according to our means, to the poor who are on
every side of us, and by fervent and unceasing pray
er to God for a speedy and honorable termination of
the war, and the establishment of a happy peace.
Given at Charleston, S. C, this 5th Feb., 1864.

child does in a day 1 How from sunrise te sunset,
the dear little feet patter around, to us, so nimbly.
Climbing here, kneeling down there, running to

rolling and searching and doubling, as if testing eve

derstand the deep breathing of the rosy little sleeper,
as with one arm tossed over its curly head, it pre

hoar after hour, to its thousand wants and caprices,
real or fancied.
