To the Honorable, the General Assembly . of North Carolina i It is the duty of the Executive at the meeting of the , General Assembly to lay before them a statement of the affairs of the State and such suggestions as may aid them in their deliberations. . v Having so recently taken charge of this office, with an extraordinary pressnre of business upon it, and with such limited op portunities for preparing a ' statement of this kind, might well be excused from this duty. J i ; But the very great respect I have for the Legislature, and my earnest desire to se cure their aid ' and cooperation, prompt me to make this communication however fm perfect or unsatisfactory it-may be. For the first time in the history of this State we have , to deplore' the death of a XverBorj-TIJIo.-tJohW(.ElliSj:late: Governor of this State;--died at -the Red Sulphur Springs, Virginia, on the 6th July last. ' ' This communication might afford an ap propriate place for a tribute to his worth and merit ; but his public and private vir tues have but recently been canvassed through the State, and their thorough en dorsement by ..the people constitute his highest reward while j living, and a rich legacy to survive himi . . The great struggle j which' now rages throughout our country excites the most intense interest at home and abroad. It is needless to argue to ourselves, or the world, the justice or propriety of our course. We patiently yielded to every expedient and listened to overy promise in behalf of that Union, around which had so long clung our interest and dearest affections. But sudden tly the nask was raised, and we saw before us the sword of the Tyrant, and henceforth there was no hesitation in our course. ! ,An Extra Session of the Legislature im mediately convened, and with no dissent ing voice", -submitted the issue to the peo ple n Convention, which unanimously passed the ordinance of separation and de liverance ; and that act has been sustained and ratified by the people with an unani mity unparallelled in the history of the po litical struggles of the wprld. . Men. who but yesterday fwere fronting each other in fierce and angry' debate on this very issue, are to-jday marshalled side by side in the Bame ranks, banded, like brothers, and staking) "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" in the common cause. I The unanimity of North Carolina in this great struggle, while it must ensure suc cess, embellishes a page in her history, as brilliant as the victory which achieves her independence. i Suddenly thrown into this great struggle without an army or j the organization to support one, we find offered to us an army of volunteers, who have come forward with brave hearts and , willing to' enlist in the cause of their country. To sustain this course and make it effective in the field, the Legislature have voted ample powers to the Executive, and devolved on those entrusted with the administration of affairs a fearful responsibility,;' The Convention which assembled soon n ff FT- not mwaltvui u gtla in.. -- J tmrnrnmA for troops, and disapproving of the provi sions of the Legislature for raising and equipping volunteers, repealed them with out providing a substitute. ' -Under the influence of the action of the Convention, Companies were disbanded, and a check was given to volunteering, which was likely to prove injurious. These circumstances, with a certainty of a call for more troops, induced me to vary some what from the policy -prescribed f by the Convention a change which I think they themselves would have sanctioned under the changed aspect of affairs. I might safely say that the defence ot the coast, and the call for troops from Virginia, ren- dered it necessary. The Convention, with ample powers from the people, repealed this law ot the Legislature. But they did not repeal or modify the power of legislating granted by the Constitution to the General Assembly, and as it .was only a concurrent power exercised by the Convention, the General Assembly have still the same power to legislate on that particular subject as be fore ; and the Convention making its re peal to take effect only after the meeting of the Legislature seem to indicate a design or expectation that something should be done. I must, therefore, press it on your immediate attention, j In connection with the subject of volun teering, I will suggest the propriety of some regulation whereby it may be equa lized among the several counties and among the different districts of the same county. Some counties and parts of oth er counties have .already furnished more than their full quota, j while others have been more tardy in their movements, and thus have not the envied privilege of serv ing their county. This could be done by selecting those counties which have furn ished fewest volunteers, and pointing out the mode of enrolling them from those counties. It is fair and equitable, that in each county a just proportion should be ob served, between those who remain at their homes, and make provision for the absent solidiers, and those who. go forth to risk their all for. the country. The expenditures of the'State have been 'and continue to be very large. The great and hurried demand for troops in Virginia has strained every point to equip and send them forward as rapidly as possible, and it has been the aim of the authorities to"nr nish our troops with every comfort con sistent with means. If we have not been entirely successful, we have at least been flattered with the compliment of sending the best equipped troops that have gone to Virginia, and we are taking every means of continuing these comforts.- The sub ject of blankets and winter clothes for tho troops have occupied our attention, and we are making efforts and appeals to accom plish this necessary object; and; medical aid for the sick and suffering shall be ex tended by every means in our power. Ishouid like to communicate to your body the whole defence and armament of the State, the force which has been sent out, fand that which is still equipping in the State, the state of the coast defences and the plans for giving them still more strength. It is your right and duty to know these facts, but from prudential considerations, I consider it best such in formation should not be communicated in a public message. I With your committees I invite a full and free conference, j and through them, hope to communicate every information that may be desired. I will here call yourj attention to a heavy source of expense , in the equipment of troops. Modern warfare has made a large demand for cavalry and flying artillery, and the furnishing , aha equipping of horses ex ceeds all prudent calculations made for the war, and runs our expenses further than . we can meet them injustice to other bran ches of defence. - It the cavalry regiments ope authori?. erj by thi Legislature, mi ent by th Coni N. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1861. ventibn are to be fully equipped, this Legislature must provide more means than we now have the control of. , The great length'of coast that now re quires guarding has -also drawn largely on our funds, but not larger than its immense importance deserves ; and whatever amount of men ahd money it needs must be fur nished. In some parts of the coast we have been unfortunate in obtaining prbpor offi cers arid engineers, but better managment I trust is now provailing. This properly falls under the care and direction of the Confederate Government i The State na val'armament has been transferred pur suant to" an -ordinance ot the Convention, and is now being properly manned and transferred to the defence of our own wa ters, and I feel a greit j confidence that it will contribute materially to their defence.' An officer of the Confederate1 States has also been sent to inspect our coast defence and batteries, preparatory to assuming the. eimtroltif therai'vbu't-"yetr it fans-rj'rt3iEa" accomplished. I have latelv addressed a (communication to the i President dh the subject, and am daily expecting a favorable reply. ; The curtailment of expenses has occupied my most anxious consideration and I trust to have your efficient aid in this all-important matter. The Convention postponed the issuing of Treasury notes authorized by your body until 1st Macrh next, and in the mean time allowed the Treasurer to borrow three millions of dollars of the Banks, less the amount already borrowed under the act passed at your extra session.' A large portion of the sum borrowed has been ex pended, and the additional sum to be bor rowed is, I fear, more than the banks wifl be prepared to loan. More full information on this head can be had from the Treasur er's Report. ' , I ; I would invite your especial attention to any revisal that will give more efficiency to the militia. It has been suffered to go down by being undervalued, aud the nearer you can bring it back to the old standard, the more likely you are to succeed. The system ot exemptions is very detrimental. Require the same duty of all, and it will be more ; cheerfully submitted to. A militia system, with arms in the hands of the people, should be sustained as one of the main institutions and props of a free coun try. They are the Volunteer National Guards of a republic a substitute tor the standing army of Despotism. It is mortilying to our State pride to think that we have hitherto been so depen dent on the Northern States for even the means of defence, including all the munW tions of war, and apprehensions have been felt among us, that the want of these might impair the means and resources of main-: taining this war. But from a recent sur vey, made by our able 'State Geologist, Prof. Emmons, I am gratified to state that we have in our midst, within in a few miles ot the North Carolina Railroad, a most extensive and valuable supply of lead, now Teady to be taken up ; and he further re ports that we have the material for the manufacture of gunpowder. The most valuable ingredient 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 for. the raanufae, ..'vvmym urr rtiwrtfarry- siiu!eis re quired, I would suggest that the State should furnish aid for the purpose of facili tating the supply of this necessary material, which the blockade of our coast now effectu ally cuts off. ' j The blockade of our coast and the non intercourse around our borders- have es tablished two very important facts. First, that in our commercial relations we have become entirely dependent on the North for almost every article that we use, con nected with machinery, farming, merchan dize, tood and clothing, both the luxuries and necessaries .of life, including almost every article needed tor our defence. The second and more important fact is also now established, that we have means and materials for. supplying all those wants within oui- own borders. Necessity is de veloping these resources and driving us i to the use of them. j The continuance of this war and block ade for two or three years may inflict much personal suffering but it will surely accom plish Our national and commercial inde pendence, j . 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 North ern trade, and Southern labor, Southern trade, and Southern capital will roll their strength together to establish j Southern prosperity and independence. i I And it is equally important to us to es tablish our commercial as our political in dependence. A decisive victory may es tablish 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 temporary pain, but it is a slow con sumption preying on the vitals ofNbrthern wealth and commerce. . ; f I must conclude this communication by stating that there are some other subjects that I must submit to the consideration! of the General Assembly in, a special mes sage, which I will do at the earliest moment!.

Fish er, of the 6th Regiment of N. C. . Volun teers, in the battle fought at Manassas Junction, between 15000 Confederate troops under President Davis and Generals Beau regard and Johnston, and the Federal forces under General McDowell, : amounting to 50,000; "Col. Fisher was killed-in front of his Regiment, and while leading his men on to .the fight ; he bad dismounted, when divesting himself of his watch, which! he gave to his servant, saying; at' the same time, - part not with this, unless with your life,' then also of his coat and sword,-and swinging! his carbine across his. shoulders,' jcaJJhis men4o'followjiimfcwhichthey did with great enthusiasm. -;This occurred, between 3 and 4 o'clock, P. M., during the critical hour of the battle above . referred to. Col.' Fisher was struck with a conical musket ball over the left eye, which passed through his hat at-the base of the crown, and went entirely through the skull. He, of course, died instantly, and without pain. An officer, who was present, and took an active part in the battle, and who lodged at the Mansion House in Charlotte, N. C, two days after its occurrence, on his return to his native State, S. C, made a similar statement with this difference only : He - . j ' - said, I saw Col. Fisher, after , he had di vested himself of his watch, sword and coat, 'and when rolling up the' sleeves of his shirt ahd seizing a musket, he rushed into the thickest of the fight; and it was then I heard him exclaim, 'Follow me, my men I saw him no more until after the battle was over, when I beheld the sad spectacle of his lifeless corpse, lying upon the battle field, with a ghastly wound in flicted by a conical ball which passed en tirely through his head, coming out at the back part Of it. One of his horses having been wounded in the former part of the action, he requested that if he should not survive the battle, his other horse should be the property of whatever one of his soldiers who should perform the most dis tinguished act of heroism during the en gagement.; I have since been informed, said tie, that all of his soldiers dieted so heroically,! that it was impossible to decide to whom 1 the horse should be awarded. When President Davis saw Col. Fisher performing such deeds of valor, he said to his officers who were present, "Col. Fisher shall hereafter have the rank of, and be known as -Brigadier General, for the hero ism which he has already displayed in the present action. He was, said he, promoted JOyihjarofBjigaaiBrGftnftraL, l four, hours before he fell dead . upon the field ol battle." i Thp last words which he uttered were ? V Three cheers for the Southern Confederacy ! Remember the 4 Old North .State!'"; The gentleman who made the above statement is descended from one of the most distinguished families in S. Carolina.
