A correspondent of the Fayetteville Obserrer, writing from Raleigh, t&ya : The two most prominent matters of unfinished . bain s are the Revenue bill, and th , M to raise 10 000 treopt aa a State reserve. The former has : ;n .Ka Senate. is peuuiug " - . ... , ' A great many-amendment-i will be proposed to j be Revenue bill, and, considered Purely, will, 'consume mucu nmc. The country wonder- qeiay u Hrodps for State defeno.. Alii feel I deeply f -people overrun Dy our neamesB eucmj.. question is whether we shall commit our defence t fwfAawmmm- rt ral P Stai Truoos in an of government; aoa eciu troops . n. - ' i out of What part of .our people shall they be raised? A large majority of the Assembly seems sU Ittf Oi L tits laioiu v v-iv. vovi ' 'the ground that the Confederate OoT't has neg lected tbe State; others on the ground that the 'Confederacy cannot look after all the points on so lereat a theatre of warfare, and that this State a x-as,A o icini T -rtarn wv4rw tnuir: wii ought to have a reserve as wen as tne otner oiai.es of tbe Confederiy. The difficulty which has caused the delay 'is this: Shall thl reserve be rahed out of those liable to conscription? or out of i hose exempt from conscription? Some insist that if we accept volunteers from those liable to con- scription, we therebv nullify the conscription act, and place ourselves in antagonism witn tne Lon federate Gov't; and to avoid this, they propose to raise the State troops out of the Justices of the Peace, militia officers, those who have hired sub stitutes, and other exempts, yielding those liable to conscription to the Confederate Gov't. Others insist that if the exempts and the conscripts both go into the army, that sufferings and starvation must ensue, both at home and in the army; that it is unjust to the Confederate Gov't to presume that N. 0. will not be allowed to have a State reserve, made up by volunteering frcm.those liable to con scription, when all, or nearly all, the other South ern States have such a reserve; that there can be no antagonism, unless the President should deny to tbte State what has been conceded to the other States. A few members whoso views are entitled to much consideration, insist that no attempt should be made to raise a Stato reserve; that we have made common cause, and should rely solely on the common army; that it is doubtful whether the Confederate Gov't would take into its pay the re serve, raised and officered as we propose, and even if accepted, we should be at the expense of organ izing, arming and equipping them which would involve us in'an intolerable Stato debt. In the old army of the U. S , when every thing could be bought at one-third of present prices, our aimy cost 61000 per man per year, and that 10,000 men, in cluding arms, clothing, ammunition, subsistence, & pay, would cost at least 25,000,000 per year now. Others maintain that the addition of more men to our present enormous army would not increase its efficiency; and that it is unwise to pres con scription further at this time or to attempt in auy way to increase our military force. The only feature of the Revenue bill which has given rise to much debate is that relating to the value of slaves. The bill, as reported by the Com mittee on Finance, fixed the average value of all slaves," except mechanics, at 6350, and the average Value of mechanics at 6700. The Senate amend ed the bill, by classifying and valuing them as fol lows: all under 5 years old 8100, all from 5 to 10 years old 8200, all from 10 to 20 S50( all from 20 to 30 8600, from 30 to 40 8500, from 40 to 60 - 8200, all over 60 825. This classification will bring the average .to about 8344. Power is given the County Courts to exempt such its they deem of no value. Land is to be listed according to the last assess ment. The amendment of the Constitution made by the late Convention provides that land and slaves shall be taxed according to their value, and tho tax on fclaves shall be as much, but not more than that ion land according to their respective values; but the tax on slaves may be laid according to their general average value in the State, or on their value in classes in respect to age, sex, arid other distinctive properties, in the discretion of the Gen. Assembly, and the value be assessed in such modt-s S3 may be prescribed by law. -As this feature of the Constitution is veciving the interpretation that while lanl is. valued by assessors, upon oath, slaves may be valued by the General Assembly, it may be worth while to in quire whether this is the true interpretation of the Constitution; and-if not, what evils may grow out of a wrong interpretation? And if it be a true interpretation, are slaves, by this bill, "taxed as much and not more than laud according to their respective values." Is the equality of valuation more likely to be preserved by assessment of the value of land by persons sworn for the purpose, and a legislative declaration of the value of slaves ? or by the assessment of the value of both by the owner, with proper provisions to guard, against fraud; or an assefsmcnt of both by disinterested individuals sworn for the purpose? hen the value of slaves is fix 2d by a niec legislative dec--jaration, is this a compliance with the constitu tional provision, that "the value be a Messed in such modes as may be prescribed hy law?'' Is there no danger when war shall cease, that this mode of valuation by the General Assembly may give rise to another unfortunate party contest in relation to the valuation of slaves? If it shall be thought they are not taxed as much as land ac cording to" value, may it not lead to the election of the State, that the law should require cat ui vuiiijr vuuu, uu hii appoiuieu aay aner the return of the assessment of negroes , to rep .rt the average valuation of the negroes of his countv S Ka nV.c-nrnri rwl rr r, in.n k rV. . i jii.cum atiu ivuuiiv iitM-urir ioaa- certain and publish the averse, throughout the .State; and then make it the duty of the clerk of 'jt 1 anotner ciass oi memDers who may value too hih? public property in town except a few old wagons, I think thealuc should be ascertained by as- j and thtiu they partially destroyed, together 'with i a sessors, sworn for the purpose; and to prevent in- the telegraphic wires and posts for about two miles v ! ci uaiuy m uiuiwu uviwtun uiuere i pans or i ou towh. it is evident ti ; ? encu vuuy uuuu irtu-rui me uMcunncnt oy in- ; J creasing or diminishing the value assessed so as to - I t0 6e"eLral ?Terar e" , . , , ,! v i 1 , ,,S,r SOmC llke P10,4 valuation be adopted, j i ' WC shall hear no more of the negro mixtion in N. i r , - . - . .

VvmnTf Tha ' iT-nlrtIfa . nf fe ' ankee abolitionists in North Carolina from the 12th to the 17th inst, inclusive, and how tne.rumatis were met and flogged at every point by vastly in ferior forces, are things which should not be forgotten. iOiwiuisiauuiii; i jrJn f t the details I to col bofc T wm f.irfmtten. iNotwithsfandins: tne time l nave iaeu I hare gatherea are . state what I have !

Three compa nies of Major Nethercutt's battalion, Capts. Foy, and Rubinson, were slowly retiring neiore them towardsjKinston. Capt Kinehart's company the m t t p commanding, of the J. gcouts were who were soon fired on ny tne enemy arm re turned at full gailop, closely pursued by a large force of the 3d N. Y. cavalry. Seeing this, Rme hart's company were ordered to retreat, the e . . enemy s superior uorets giouuii feUu... them, till at length they were oje""jnJ pursuers the;, eueci. v.-. - - wound from a pwto shot in the lower part ; of 'the ear. Other casualnca, if any, I have not been able to learn nreciselv. In the meantime, Major Nethercutt's men, who had continued their march, seeing our cavalry pursued, were deployed into the woods to ambush the ruffians and save their retreating comrades. In doing this, the men were thrown into confusion, almost necessarily, I think, when the proximity of so large a force is considered, and many of them broke ranks and fled, no efforts of their officers availing to rally them. I speak it with shame, some of the commissioned officers were the first to run away, ljut Captains Foy, Davis and Robin son, and Lieuts. Davis, Uuxnum and Wilkins, and about forty men were instantly in line; and as soon as they cnuld do so without incurring the risk of shooting Rinchart's men, who were now mixed up with the advance of the enemy, they poured a volley into the ruffians, unhorsing nine and throw ing the pursuers into the wildest confusion. This saved Rinchart's men from capture or death. Some of the enemy who were unhorsed and un hurt, clambered over an adjoining Jencc and attempted to escape across a large open field. Instantly Capts. Davis, Foy and Robinson, and Lieut. Davisj and some six privates, the latter of whom, I regret to say, I have learned only the name of one, Isaac Casey, Tere over the fence after them and captured and brought off fonr prisoners, who are now in Richmond. This was dune in the face of the enemy, and is certainly one of the rashest if not the bravest feats of the wht. In this little encounter four Yankees were left dead, one wounded, four taken prisoners, besides some eight or ten horses fully equipped, several fine -pistols, a carbine and other trophies. This was the enemy s first encounter with our men in the scries of skirmishes which followed, and he was disgracefully worsted by not more than forty men I don't believe we lost a man killed, and if any were disabled by wounds, I have not heard it. On Saturday morning the enemy had advanced to a bridge over Southwest Creek, when he was received by Capt. Bunting with a section of his fine battery. Capt. Runting expecting to "fall b.ick, having fit.-t destroyed the bridge, on'ered his men not to fire till they-saw thfe enemy. This brought them within a hundred or one hundred and fifty yards of his guns, when he opened on them with deadly effect, causing them to scatter in all directions, without firing a gun. Capt. Runting plied them with grape and cannister for some, time, when he was ordered to fall back to Parrott's farm or vicinity, where the enemy, by two roads, had advanced on Gen. Evans' small force, consist ing of the 17th, 22d and "23d Regiments, Hbl combe's Legion, and Boyce's battery all South Carolina troops and Col. Radcliff's Keg't, 61st N C. troops. With this small force did Gch. Evans fight the redoubtable Foster, at the head of not less than 25,000, and some say 30,000 abolition Yankees, and keep them at bay all day Saturday. During the night Evans fell back to a point where three roads iriet at Harriet's Chapel, about half a mile trom the bridge across Neuse river, when he was reinforced on Sunday morning by Col. Peter Mallet, with about 400 or 500 men. On Sunday the battle was opened by the enemy about 8 o'clock a. m., and Evans, with his musquito army again gave them battle, driving them at points three times from their positions, successfully holding his own ground for nearly seven hours and killing and wounding six or eight for every one he lost. II is loss, I learn, was not over forty killed and a small number in proportion wounded. I have heard the enemy's loss variously estimated at from three to ten hundred. Only when our forces were flanked and overpowered by numbers, did they yield an inch of ground to the invaders, and not until the bridge was seen on fire in their rear, with certain death or capture before them, did a man leave his post. It was here that Col. Peter Mallet was wounded, gallantly leading his uicpfdand where he. and Col. Radcliff, with some 400 of their commands, were captured. Gen. Evans, with his remaining force, retired be yond the town, n few miles, the enemy taking pos session, in consequence of a failure to burn the bridge. They burned only two houses the drug store and house adjoining, but they stole every- thitij ig pohnoieana destroyed everything too heavy arry away.

Tjip THE WESTERN MO fight at White Hall was evidently intended as a feint to cover the real designs of the ruffians oa the railroad and GoldsboroV It turned out to them a Serious affair. - On Wednesdav mornincc, the 17th, the enemy in force, estimated at 25,000 men and 76 pieces of artillery, seized on the railroad under cover of a most terrific fire of shell and succeeded in burning the railroad bridge, defended by Pool's battalion, and part of Gen. Evan's brigade.' Gen. '" Ciing man held the county bridge nearly a mile above. With the four regiments composing his brigade he cossed the river in the afternoon. The ene-. my' line of battle extended along the" railroad for a mile and a half, sheltred by its high embank ments and powerful batteries in position. In- his front for a niife, - stretched a swamp. General Clingman having, on the day previous, made a reconnoisance of the grounds, carried two' of his regiments, 51st and. 52d N. 0 , by a flank march down the bank of the river and put them into position within Ies than 300 yards of the enemy's right wing aud instructed them to lie down, not to mind the enemy's fire, and not to return it, un til they should hear his attack on the left, then to rise with a shout and charge the enemy's line. This order they obeyed yi spite of a most terrific fire against them Gen Chngman then carried tits otner two regi- ments, the Sth and 26th N. C, with two field pieces commanded by Lieut. Fuller, by a circu itous road for nearly two miles, and fell upon the enemy's left flank. The Yankees suddenly aban doned . the line of the railrqad, strong as it was, apd massed their forces along a hill in front. The fire was kept up vigorously on both sides until darkneis ended it. Then, notwithstanding his immense superiority in artillery and numbers, the enemy retreated rapidly and in great disorder, leaving bagguge, muskets and horses as he went, and making 18 or 20 miles, in his retreat, before day light. Prisoners paroled by them on their way back say the Yankee officers declared that but fur this attack, they would have taken Golds- boro The result of this shows the great impor tance of attacking the invaders with vigor. No language can adequately describe the ruf fianism and bestiality indulged in by the Yankees in tlitir onward and backward march-to and from the Wilmington railroad. Tolerating their deeds, Foster has rendered himself as infamous as But ler. .While at the house of Col. James Davis, Lenoir county, they violated an old negro woman named Peggy, aged between sixty and seventy, leaving her the victim of a most loathesome dis ease. I have this statement from a physician who talked with her, and who stands as high, socially and professionally, as any gentleman in the State. ,m m OFFICIAL REPORT . OF THE FIGHT IN NORTH CAROLINA. Headquarters, Goldsboro, N. C, . December 29, 1802. To Gen. S. Cooper ,-Richmond f Va: General: I have the honor to enclose'copics of the reports of Brig. Gens. Evans, Robertson and Clingman, giving an account of the various affairs withal he enemy in this vicinity .An their recent bridge burning and pillaging' expedition from Newbern. Brig. Gen. Evans, with two thousand (2,000) men, held them in check at Southwest Creek, be yond Kin&toti, on the thirteenth, and, on the four teenth, delayed their advance for some time, and succeeded in withdrawing his force, with small loss, to the left bank of tbe Neuse River at Kinston. lie held them at bay until the 16th, when they advanced on the opposite side of the river, and made an attack at Whitehall bridge, about 18 miles below Goldsboro'; in which they were driven back by Gen. Robertson, with severe loss. Small reinforcements arrived from Petersburg and Wilmington on the 15th, one regiment of which was placed in position to cover the railroad bridge over the Neuse, near this place. A battal lion uf artillery which had made a succ -ssful re treat from the works of the obstruction below Kin ston, afrer the enemy occupied the latter point in force, was stationed on this side of the river, at the railroad bridge, and, about a half mile above, at the county bridge. On the 16th, a 'regiment arrived from Wilmington, and one from Peters burg, both of which were sent to the right bank of the river, aud placed under Gen. Clingman's command, to protect the two bridges. On the morning of the 17th, having no cavalry, and being unable to obtain information by other means, I directed Lieut. Col. Stevens, of the En gineers, with two brigades and five pieces of artil lery, to make a reconnoissance, for the purpose of ascertaining the position and numbers of the ene my. Gen. Evans brigade had then reached Goldsboro', by rail, and, remaining on board, only awaited the clearing of the track, and watering of the engines, to move by rail to the position already occupied by Gen. Clingman with his three regi ments, about one mile and a half beyond the rail road bridge. The capacity of the watertanks be ing inadequate for the amount of transportation accumulated here at that time, the cars were de layed .until after 12 o'clock for want of water; pending which the enemy appeared in force before General Clingman's three regiments, and he with drew accross the county bridge to this side of the river. The artillery of the enemy was playing upon the railroad bridge; and Evans' brigade had at last to move forward by the county road, aud cmss, if at all, the bridge a half mile above the railroad. About 2 a'clock in the afternoon one bold and daring incendiary succeeded in reaching the bridge, and covered by the wing wall of the abut ment, lighted a flame which soon destroyed the superstructure, leaving the masonry, abutments and pier intact. At that time reinforcements J which I had ordered from Richmond were hourly It was verv important for us now tn th county bridge, the only means remaining of cross ing the river m this vicinity. Lvans and Clin- . J . i man's hricnries wir nrdpi pi! in rrnss cr,,l ! by Pettigrew's brigade and the MUhissippi i brigade, just coming in, was ordeasd to move ior- ward at once. The enemy were driven back from their posi- tion oa the line of the railroad, but on account of the lateness of the hour, the nature of the ground i mi e . ' i me iaci iuai our ariuiery. cavairy and a la rsje ! portion of the reinforcements Tiad not yet arrived j it was not advisable to attack their strong second position thatTevening. ! During the night tfi gbt the enemy made a hurried retreat to their fortifications and guu boats, moving with such celerity that it wa useless to attempt pursuit with any other arm than cavalry, of which at that time, unfortunately, we had none. I passed over the railroad from the Neuse bridge to Wilmington, oq the 24th, and returned last night. The bridge is fast being prepared. At present, we arc subjected to the temporary in convenience of trans-shipment aoross the county bridge; but iu a very few" days this will be reme died, and everything restored to the former con dition. I regret that this graud army of invasion did SDt remain in the interior long enough for us io get at them. As it is, .they . jborned the super structure of two bridges, which cost crigmally less thaa ten thousand d.ahd can be. replaced at once, and have utt Jled to' attempt to take advantase of the temporary and partial interrup tion of our railroad line, for thy purpose of strik ing a decisive blow at any ' important point before We could thoroughly re-establish our communica tion with it. m , I beg leave to call your attention to the reports of Lieut. Col. Stevens, Confederate States Engi neers, and to Lieut. Col. Poole, as well as to those of the three Brigadier Generals previously named. Our loss is reported at 71 killed and 268 .woun ded, and about 400 missing. . Most of the latter were taken prisoners at Kinston bridge, and have 6ince been returned paroled. I am. General very respectfully your ob't ser ' r - u' oLTTrr vant. vr. ii. Maj. tren Commanding. CONFEDERATE VICTORY AT MTJB FKEESBORO, TENN. The following is an official dispatch from Gen. Bragg: Murfreesboro, Tenn., Dec. 31. We assailed the enemy at . 7 o'clock this morn in", and after ten hours hard fighting, have driv en him from every position except his extreme left, where he has successfully resisted us. With the, exception of this point, we occupy Ihc whole field. We captured four thousand prisoners, in cluding two Brigadier Generals, thirty-one pieces of artillery, and some two hundred wagons and teams. Our loss heavy that of the enemy much greater. BRAXTON BRAGG, Commanding General. A dispatch to the Savannah Republican states that the enemy was- 60,000 strong. They made one desperate charge upon our lines but were re pulsed with heavy loss. LATER In the fight at Murfreesboro, we captured most of the enemy's hospital stores with many ambulances. The Yankee Generals Thomas, Syll, Shradon and Grisson, aw killed. Gen. McCook is also reported killed. The Yankee loss is immense. It is impossible to obtain a list of the casualties, or anymore particulars to-night. General Raines, on our side, was killed. Gen. Chalmers is wounded; Cel. A. W. Fry, of Missis sippi, was killed; Colonel Fist, of Louisiana, is wounded. We destroyed two millions of dollars worth of Yankee property in the rear of the Yankee army, last night, including five days' rations. THE BATTLES BEFORE VICKSBURQ. ViCKsuuRO, Miss., Dec. 30. On Saturday, the enemy made four separate attempts to force our lines on the Chickasaw, a distance of about ten miles from this city, but were repulsed with heavy loss each time. Our loss was slight. The 17th Louisiana greatly distinguished itself, repulsing unaided the assault of three full regiments of Yan kees. On Sunday morning, the enemy again at tempted to force our lines, and were repulsed with heavy loss. All the troojs behaved galUnty. Our loss on Sunday was slight. One of Gen. Lee's couriers had a leg shot off. On Monday evening, 8,000 of the enemy advanced on our right wing, in the vicinity of Chickasaw Bayou, to storin, our works, but were mowed down in large numbers, and upwards of 400 prisoners taken, with five stands of colors. The enemy were driven to their .boats, and afterwards sent a flag of truce to bury their dead, under which some priso ners escaped. The fighting still continues all day, with no important results. LATER. Vicksburg, Dec. 31. A courier has just arrived who stated the enemy attempted to storm' our lines again this morning but after severe combat, were repulsed with heavy loss. No further par ticulars at present. The loss of the enemy is said to tTe, about 300 killed and wounded, and 400 pris oners. Our loss is about 50 killed and wouuded. 0&Gciu Yan Dorn in his attack on Holly Springs, Miss., captured over twenty-three hun dred prisoners and paroled them, aud destroyed over three million dollars worth of Federal prop erty, burnt one thousand bales cotton, bought by the Yankees, took a thousand army revolvers, five thousand stand small arms, five hundred horses and mules, and a large amount of other property. He did not visit Memphis, as it was too strongly fortified, and avoided Bolivar for the same reason; but destroyed rajlroad bridges and trestle work on all railroads which were necessary for their line of communication. His loss was only thirty men. Van Dorn's whole force did not ex ceed twenty-seven hundred and fifty men. m Jeff. Thompson. This famous partizan fight er has turned up again. He reported to Gen. Holmes the other day that he had captured seven ty thousand dollars worth of Yankee plunder, and sent him a large lot of shoes for his soldiers. He was at the head of 3,000 men, and said to the General: "I want to be let alone and have no orders." LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Post Office at Charlotte on the 1st of January, 1863.
