A member of the Hornets Nest Rifles, died yester-

The Legislature adjourns to-morrow morning at 6
o'clock, to meet on the 25th of June. Several Im
portant biRs have passed during its abort session one
forming a regular army for the State of ten thousand
men, another empowering the Governor to call for from
20,000 to 60,000 volunteers, to be used sot only for
the defence1 of this State, but any of the slavebolding
States. An Important bill effecting the curreoc of
the State, was passsed yesterday. It empowers the
rublio Treasurer to Issue notes to the amount of
$5,000,000, of the denominations of five cents and up.
The militia bill was killed in the Senate, last night.
Thestsy law, which you have seen b this time,
created great Interest. " " -.
Several affairs T Jhonor hsve sprnng up daring the
Isst week. The first is between the senior editor of
the Register and Holden. The contest" for the Con
vention has been bitter In this county, perhaps the
only ooe la which there has been anything like di
vision In the State, and for something that Mr. Syme
has sid or done, UoKlea came out in a card yester
day, In which he called him a calumniator, Ac. Mr.
Syme, I understand to-day has challenged Holden.
Yesterday I went to the Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb and Blind. In the latter department we met
the two pupils from' Abson, and found them in good
health. Myself and companion were much touched
by a conversation between a blind pupil and a
mute the former was well versed in deaf alphabet
and rapidly ran the letters off, and the latter to reply
formed his letters la the blind boys hand so that he
could recognise them by the touch.
This morning I attended worship at the Baptist
Church. The attendance was full, every seat being
occupied. The congregation consisted of. more than
two-thirJs volunteers. - The other Churches were also
as well attended by volunteers. It would do yon good
in looking oer so large Dumber of men as are here,.
to see their orderly and gentlemaolydeportment. It
is just so, I learn, at all the encampments in this
State, as also in Virginia The case of Wilson J afr

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
To thi Honorable, General A eternity of
' ."" x ' JVVrt Carolina: '
I am authoritatively informed that divers unpatri
otic and evil disposed persons have issued civil pro
cetssgainst sundry persons who are now enlisted In
the public service, for the purpose of defending their
country, the lives and the property of all our people
against. our enemy who is now blockading our ports
and threatening to Invade our soil.
Volunteers now on doty are harrassed by writs in
the hands of the Sheriff of Wske county, issued upon
various pretences, and In some instaoo's there Is rea
son t believe, issued merely with the view of com pell
Inz the defendants to enter into unjat compromises.
With the view of preventing these unpatriotic practices,
I respectfully recommend that a law be at ?
prohibiting the service of any kind of civil process
upon any person, whj now is or may hereafter enlist
in the military service of the Stato during the proper
term of his service and for one year thereafter.1 I also
deem it highly important to pass a g nerat law of a
almttar character applicable to all other persons for a
limited period. , '
..Property of every species has greatly depreciated
in value eold and silver a'O not tu be had; and there
is neither morality nor jostles in allowing the few per
