Mr. Shepherd stated tho reasons why tho passage ot the resolution was neces sary. The resolution was then passed its seve ral reading? under a suspension of tho rule. The Revonab Bill being tho special ordor was taken up. Mr. Amis said that ho had ben satisfied Irom an interchange of views with a nuio bcr of parties, that tho mode ot fixing the value of slave property propo-cd in iho itevt nue bill, was iioi in uccorduuee wiih the wishes ot a majority ot our people, and ho did not think that the plan ought to be favored by them. He had in course ot pre paration an amendment, the features of which, ho indicated. He thought the bill should bo amended in ibis respect, and as ihe most expeditious way of getting at it, he moved to recommit tho bill with instruc tions to report dueu amendments as were indicated by him. Mr. Shepherd said that while he did not agree to all tho propositions assumed by Mr. Amis that he should not oppose his motion. He much desired so arrango this matter as to forevo keep its discussion out of future canvasses. The motion was carried and the bill ro committed On motion of Mr. Walscr, tho unfinished business being the bill for the relict of the indigent fumihe of soldiers in the service was postponed until 1 o'clock. 1 he House i roceeded t i the considera tion of a bill to amend tbe Charter of the Chatham Rail Koud Company.

Mr. McCoy advocated tho passage of tho bill as a bill not second in importance to any bill before tho Legifdaturo and gave u succinct ii it-lory of the work, and argued thai the public interest required that the aid asked should lie ranted.

Mr. Sherwood said that he took pleasure in stating that Guilford county had fur nished as mary mon according to white population as any county in the State. Mr. Person favored tbe amendment. Ho said that the sol tiers were not raised by white population, and he was therefore op' p ted to distributing this fund on that ba sis, as it would of necessity work injustice to tho families of tboso iu the counties that had furniKed a larger proportion of troops. Mr. Gris9om asked Mr. Person if tho con scripts had not been ruised upon the white basis. Mr Persun said that such was the re quirement of tho law; but we bad been in termed that :here was certain sections in h'Ch it hud not been carried out, and that the enforcement wa difficult.

Mr. Areodell introduced a series of res olutions repelling assaults upon the Sito and Legislature in regard to loyalty, &e. (For resolutions iu full see House prucewd- Mr. Arendell said that insinuations had been thrown out by certain persons, and slandeious abusers bud reported even dis loyalty in th Legislature of North Caroli na. He wished to stop tbe mouths of these vile slanderers, and was of tho opinion that tho proper way to do it was to pass these resolutions unanimously. Mr. Brown said that certain charges bad been brought by certain cvildisposod per sons not only against the loyalty rf the Anneinbly but the people of North Carolina.

Mr. Muri ill deprecated the introduction of tbo resolutions.
