Tiie chitf bisiaes transacted yesterday afternoon, at the meeting of th sic-eUoldera tf tho Wilmington aul Weldon railroad company was the oiection of president aad direc tora. B. D. Wallace, Eeq.. was rc-alected president, and the old directors r.ljo re electa.5, or re appointed without opposition. The stockholders also raised tho Baiaries of tie several mjers of 'kc read ap average of ono. hundred percent.; that is to eay, thoy doubled them tlio increase of Balary to apply to tho last as well aa to tho present tisoal year. The iiicrease applies to all those in the employ of tiie com pany who are paid a yearly salary. The workmen in the shops, and others who are paid perditin, have had thuir wages increased from time to time as ssemed necessary and expedient. At least wa presomj so. The various recommendations contained iu tho reports of the President and Directors and the Engineer & Super intendent, were referred to the beard for such action as it might deem proper and expedient. Tl-.o stock was pretty fully represented, though ratber more by proxy thau usual. T. D. Walker, Esq., held the proxy of the Wilmington a.id Maiyjhfcster railroad com pany. Tub Kocm Cakc-lina Banks We, publish the proceed ings of tho Couveutiou of tha several Banks of th'i State ot Huuth Carolina, recently held in Columbia, but so far as w can understand, wo are not fully prepared to en uorHo thciiu. Of coarse the idea of levying a tax of sixty mil hous to ba paid in coiu would be simply absurd,siE09 it could not bo paid. Wo notice, however, that tho coapons of in terest on the loan of one thousand millions, proposed to be be raised dre to be rtcalved in lieu of coin. To gantlemeo liko Messrs. Tkenu ji.m (the head of John Frazihk & Co.,) Mo&L'gjM, and other capitalists, this scheme might occasion no inconvenience, but perhaps result in profit, but to the generality who cou'd neither obtala coiu nor comaund eufii eicut cash to buy stock to enable them to pay tax js wi;h its conpon-j, the cose would be ditljreut and far Ijhr favorable At lca-t that is tl: wsy it strikes us. t)thr features jru press us more favourably. The great influence which Mr. Trenhoi.m U said to pos' sess with Mr. Msmkisger gives to tlu recm ie:idalijus of this Convention, of which ho was a lead:r.g meuibsr. u in terest aud importance which would not otaerwue attach to them. The Eviin oldect of the reeomiaandation of a loan eecare ed by a tax of.sixty -mliiions, payable in gold or sTvar, or iu tha interest coupons of tha loan itself, is to compel parties to bay the bonds so as to get tho c oupons with which to pay their taxs. It is In effect a forced loan, though not eo i7Ht.iv for wo til kuow that the gold coahl not possibly be obtained and thui the coupons of tha bonds must be had .V can only bo had through purcbarfagthe bond thmaaWea'. It is bound to bear hard upon all who have not disposable capital; bat so must any eohe oe that will meet the dim culty.

Constant drop ping, it has been said, wili wear a hole in a stone. Constant tiring, it ia thought, will wear out human endurance, as wel1 as brick, mortar and sand. i'ut wo may rest assured that the enemy will not couQae themselves to thiir bombardment of Bamter. Somehow we think theyliave some other deviltry conoooting which will show Use It before Christmas, and wh'ch may most severe ly tax the genius of Biatjkkqakd and the valor of the treops in his command, for before Christmas the campaign both in Virginia and on the 1 ennessee will certainly hve closed, releasing large bodies of men to operate on the coast durirg the winter months. Of course the same cacaisthat will release forces of the enemy, will also release Coafederate troops, bo that as the winter advances we may look for tho main seat ot active LoBtiliUea to be transferred to the seaboard. - Tl Bunk Convention. The Convention ot the representatives ol Banks la the diOorert States of tie Confederacy met at Angnata, Oa., ooMor day, and adjourned on Tuesday evening of this week. There were representatives of banks from North Carolina, Booth Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Neither Virginia. Fl rida, Alabama, Mi-sieipp! nor Loolslaa were represented O. O. PiMur, Ktq , of the Commercial Batik, and Wit. A. WuraHr, R q , of the Cape Fear Bank, were the on'y delegates from North Carolina. Th. follow- ing it (he plan agreed npon by the A ngusta Convention, which is substantially the same as tb it proposed bv the S juth Carolina banks, of which plan M. O. tfOBDBCAi, of Charleston was the author : ' Whereas, experience has demonstrated that the dues to be collected by '.he Government and or wh eh Treasury notes are made receivable, are inadequate to absorb a suf ficient amount of the notes, to prevent the tvils of an in creased paper currency, aud it is deemed essential to the interests of the people and of the Government, that mea sarrs be adopted by the Government to redem or fund the entire amount of the aid isus, or so much thereof as thall reduce the turn of the enrreacy to two handred millions or lets. For the accomplishment of this object the following measures a:e recommended to the ceantry and the Govern ment by this Convention. 1. That a new i'Bue :t Coupca Bonds be made to the smcuat rf one thoosatd miliiot s of dollars. The bonds beariDg fix per cent interest -the Coupons payable annual ly in cin ; and that, in future, to meet tLe waste of the Confederate Government, the policy of iesuiog Treasn-y Notes be abandoned, as far as practicable, asd to tax ufu cieut for all rcqaireuienti be adopted s He true pulley to sustain the credit of the Confederacy. i. That an Aet be passed levying a tax of sixty millions, to be collected annually during the whole peiod of th said lean, for the pajmeatof the interest on the nbove bjnus, aed that the good faith ct the Government be pledged for the contianance of such tax until the maturity of tie said loan ; and that the said tax shall be paid in doin, and that the enipons of tbe abeve bonds be rocelted in the payment of this tax in bee of coin. 3. 'lhu before the bonds shall be eSersd for sale in any other (i'.u:.r, or at a price above par, thy shall first be apportioned amopg the States of the Confederacy, and that a Coirmisaioner shall be appointed for each State te make known to the tax patera in each collection District the necessity of providing thtaiaelvas with a sufliaient amount of bocdi to pay this spsciCc tax, and who shall sell at par, to the tax papers in each District, tho amouit of bonds required for tha payment of their taxss ; and that Treasury notes of all ismes be received ia payment for the said bonds; and that the said payments sha" be re quired in convenient instalments to suit the circumstances of persons f liiodsrate means ; bnt the privilege of pav ing iu full at any time shall be accerded to all. 4. That all existing distinctions between treasury notes of different iasues and dates be abolished. 5. that the intercut on the staci of the fifteen millions loan be paid by checks on the treasury, and that the said checks be received in payment ot the export duty on cot ton in th) same wanner as the capoa oa the bond of the same loan. 6. That a five pet ceut. o.vl l-an be established similar to the first or original call loan, and that all Treasury notes be received at the Treasury thdrefor, and that the present live per cent, and foor per cent, call loans be abolished. 7. That the ligat of the holder of the Treasury Notes which upon their face are fundable in eight per ocat. stock, ought to be recrgaixed, and an eight percent, at a short period provided tor that purpose ; and also that all the privileges attached to the original six per eekt. eall lean he restored tj the holders ot all outstaudiux certificates ol th it loan. 3- That an inureased duty be levied on ail iin porta and exports during tho contituas.ee of the war, aud that the s&rjid be collected in coin or approved bills on England or France, or ia the interest on the fifteen million loan. . That an Issue Department be created by the Govern ment and. kept separate from th Treasury Department, whose duty it shall be to supply a new iastie of Treasury notes in exchargs for the amouat that may re mala in cir culation of the present issue ; and that the new Issues shall express on the face ot the bills that the same are receiva ble in payment of tho public does, except such as are spe cifically required to be paid ia coin. 10. That there should be an issue of bills of a large de nomination, viz : $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $ i 0,000 buM cieut to facilitate the transmission of faad and the settle ment of balances. Col. J. P. Ju . There is no more ardneus aud r9poaSbU duty than In spector General of an army. Col. Jooaj has fllUd this post with fcreat ability and distinction for tome time, beirg n the stall of Gn. Biagg, and his high toned, courteous man ners, his gallantry and bravery, have wok ferhim the welt merited compliment of th "Chevalier " Bayard" of the army. Col. Jones cemmanded a regiment at the battle of tha fust Manassas, and, a part of the time, a brigade at Corinth acd Tupolo. Gen. Bragg, (under wham Col. Jones has served for over eighteen mouths,) in speaking of this jflicer, in both staff and Hue positions, said : As a Colonel, has no superior ; as an Inspector, where the highest quali ties of a soldier are exhibited, I do not know his equal. With such an endorsement, we think that the true merits of Col. Jones should be appreciated by oar governmen, and that he is most deservedly entitled to the prdmeUon oi a Brigadiersbip. While we are confident that officer of more merit or modesty is entitled to the notioe of his gov ernment, we must confess that it appears like favoritism, or "good lack," at least, to see others of inferior' capacity elevated over their superiors. We sincerely hope, howev er, that Cdl. Jones' claim will not long be overlooked. Atlanta Intelligencer. Col. Jokes is a native of Anson eouaty, N C, and will be remembered here as having been for some time in oom mand, a Captain Jonbj, of the troops at Fort Jehnston, now Fort Branch. Ho was subsequently appointed Lieut. Cel. of the 5th Regiment N. C. T., and as booh was In the first battle of Manassas. Ilia snbseqaent history ia no doubt correctly given by the Intelligencer.

Strides for higher wages eeem to ba the order of the day among the mechanics at the North, mora especially among the machinists employed ob work for the Govern nent.

Tbe Confederate Congress will assemble on the 1st Mon day in December, being next Monday two weeks. This is the short session of the old Congress. 'I be New York Times, in an article on New York city politic?, thus graphically describes a maj iity ot tbe population ol rsew xors : "Its position haa made it tha recipient of the very dregs of European emigration the befitportiou or it, goes west wart. aid tbe enormous expansion ci our trade and industry, b&3 drawn hither from all. parts ol tho Union, the shiftless, the brokeu down, the charac terless, and the needy of all classes, in the hope ot tiad iD, some means ol bettering their condition. Couse- tuentlv the texture ot society in New l ork is no long er American, but European. We have on the one side a proletariat as ignorant and auscrupulous as that eith er of Paris or London, owning nothing, disliking the tedium of honest industry, with a strong taste for plun der in some shape or other, indifferent to public opinion, unir-fluenctd by the pulpit or by tbe preea, and having more or less ot that sense of wrong, and that grudge against those who are better on than themselves, which have been for six thousand years a characteristic of the ignorant and vicious." The limes shows a sad picture of the corrupt ex penditures und heavy taxation, which prom's. to re salt in "mnncipal repudiation, or else a burden of taxes which will amount to wholesale confiscation, and ren der all feal property, inside the city limits worthless. VVhrn this trCSteCt BtartS PeOuls in th farv wa ah1l look lor a movemeut towards a ridical change in the structure of the Government, bat not sooner. Our eon- golatton is, that it cannot be very long tin tbie period arrive?." The war between capital and labor has commenced. The workingmen are marshalling their forces "strikis"' are takir-sr olace on every Bide, and without capital sab mits to the demands of labor, a collision cannot be avoidid. Lincoln's regulars may protect capital for a little while, but anarchy will reign at last The press and the pulpit, by their teachings, have raised a storm they cannot allay; the Constitution has been destroyed, and the North has but tbe choice of two evils anar chy or despotism.

Altera stubborn fight the Yankees were routed with loss of stores and six hun dred prisoners. Weitzeii' Division is reported to hive beeu routed by Gen. Taylor near Opeleousas. The expe dition is said to be abandoned. A portion of the troops have returned to fort tiaason and Baton rouge. Vrom Northern Virginia. Information received justifies tbe ia predion that the demonstrations made by the enemy on Sunday, at Mor ton and lliccoon Fords, were only intended as a feint to cover their real designs, which seem to he the transfer of tbe main body of their army to the lower ford3 of the Rapidan, near its junction with the llippahaccock. It was asserted yesterday 4 morning at Uordcnsville, and generally credited, that "the greater portion of Meade's forces were moving along tbe north side of the Rapidan in tbe direction of Germaona Ford, and it was conjectured that an attempt at that point wou'd be made to cross ine river. This movsmeat lessens the piobability of a general engagement for the present, but much, of course, de pends npoa tbe activity of tha Yankee Commander. If he should attempt to cross at Germanna or Unittd States Fords a decisive fijbt will doubtless reeult in tho vicinity of the Wilderness battle-field.

From July 8th to the middle of October, there weie but 300(1 troops on Beaufort aud Pun's Island, and in that neighborhood. But, da ring the last three weeks, heavy reiuforeernents had ar rived some from Morris Island, but the bulk of them from the North. Of thest last, many came handcuffed. A new G neral and several Oolouvl were among the frfsh arriv;t!s. The Yauktts say that tley cannot take Charleston from tbe front, but hope to reduce it from the rear. From the statements that b heard, James gathered that thty intended to open a heavy fire from the front on Charleston, on Savannah and on so ne point ner Ash epo.) this last to ba the main attack. They do not expect to take the Charleston and Savannah Railroai at once, but while the demonstrations at Charleston and Savannah occupy our attention, they hope to be able to 'lay waste Ashepoo, cut the Charleston acd Savannah Railroad, and fortify their foothold ou the mam. They have the euns for this attack on Ashepco now ready at Hilton Had, having received two shiploads of artillery from the North. Jittns believes that this movement against Ashfpoo is certainly resolved upon, and will soon tak place. Tbe Yankees have ordered a conscription of ail negro men between. the egea of 18 and 45.

Whatever portions of the above facts are based upon heirsay, were obtained by Janie from his Yankee task master Thompson, aud Irom the white soldiers whom he happened to meet. In regard to the threatened attack on tiro Main, in Gtn. Walker's District, we may remark that the lowest points on the Ashepoo and Combahee Rivers, available for the landing of a hostile force, would be Chapman's Fort, on the Ashepoo aud Field's Point on-the Comba hee. Both these places are already strengthened by fortifications, and wa trust that those works may not fail, either ttroug the deficiency of men or guns of suffi cient c- ilibre, to repel any advance the enemy may at tempt in that direction. From the Richmond Examiner. Llsaster to (i-iw liokt'a Hrtgatl. At eua Old Camps on thb Rapidax, ) November 10th, 1863. ( lo the Editor oj the Examiner : A history of the misfortune which befell our brigade on ti e nfiernoou of Saturdav. the 7th inst.. is due to the friends of the unfortunate officers acd soldiers at home. I therefore beg leave to oiler, for the Information of such, only such information as I have been able to gath er troin the offibers who escaped : On Friday, the Louis iana brigade, nnder Brigadier General Hayes, was sent across the Rippahannock to act as a picket guard at the point where the railroad from Culpeper Court House to Manassas crosses the Rappahannock. Whilst the enemy held this road during the latter part of the sim mer he had thrown up a line of breastworks from a point a ehort distance below the end of the railroad bridge, on the other side, which wotks faced from the river and extended some distance up, and diverging from the river. . The Louisianiana occupied the lower part of these works. The poetoon budge, the only place of crossing for infantry, being upon their left, and about one hun dred yardi above where the railroad bridge had been burned. At half-past 2 o'clock, P. M.,-the long roll was beat iq oar encampment, and every man fie for duty called upon-to fall in ; we knew not why, as we bad co artillery, the day being quite windy, and our camp being about six miles from the river. The whole of Eatly's division was marched rapidly to the river. Brigadier General Hoke's brigade of three regiments, the Sixth, Filty fourth aud Fiftyeventh, now com manded by Colonel A. 0. Gedwiu, formerly first pro vest marshal of Richmond was ordered over the rivir to occupy tbe extreme left of the breast works. This brigade crossed the river under a heavy fire of artillery, (tor tbe Louisiaians were already sustaining a luriom fire from several batteries). This fire from the artillery and Eharpshooiers was kept up until after sunset. The other two brigades of General Early's division, commanded by Brigadier Generals Gordon and Pegram, were held iu position ou ibis side of the river. By punnet the enemy had ex tended his lints, ia the form of a half moon, so as to en velop our forces entirely, his right and left resting en the river above and below. At the same time he had formed three lines of attack, oue behind the other,' to assault the works held by General Hayes and the right of Hoke's brigade. The sun had gone down when this terrible onset wiis made. Although the odda were greatly against us, and we had only four pieces of ar tillery on that side of the river, our men received the shook as brave men only do. The Louisianians fought with dtsperatioa. Tbe enemy's front line was torn to pieces aud scattered in confusion. Being reinforced by the second and third lines, the enemy again advanced npon the works, and by overpowering numbers, leaped the works into the ditch, and came to a hand-to-hand fight. Oar brave men, being thus so greatly outnumbered, were compelled to yield. Soms surrendered ; others rushed to the poqtoon and kscaped ; some others, be ing cut off frcm that, plunged into the river below and swam across, a few beiug dtowut2. General Hays es caped after he bad surrendered. Cols. Monagan and Peck swam the river. More than half this brigade are miseiog. The extreme right of General Hoke's bri gade fougbt wJtb tqual valour and shared a similar fate. The possession of the works held by the Louisianains gave the enemy possession of the pontoon bridge, and thus cnt off General Hoke's brigade fom any escape except by swimming. Our extreme right being thrown back, the brave Colonel Godwin, although surrounded on all sides, except on the river side, still fought oa, and when compelled to yield ground to overwhelming odds, fell back with a force of about seventy five men, still returningthe enemy's fire, and refused to surrender un til fighting was useless. Lieutenant Colonel Tate ahd Mojji York, Captains McPherson and Ray and Lienteuant Mebane, of tie Sixth, with Captain Adams, of the staff, broke away and escaped over the bridge in the darkness. Lieuten ants Williams, Smith and Fifzgerald, of the Fifty foarth ; B:Own, of the Sixth; with a few others, pluog tt into the river and swam safety over ; bat, tiafjrtun- !x nthora were drowned. Lieut. Col. H. Jones,.Jr., of the Fifty-seventh, and Captain White, of the Sixth, plunged in to s wim, but the coldness of the water com pelled them to put dace. T-he casualties of cur brigade are small iu killed and wounded. Adjutant Mebane, of the Sixth, wounded in arm and side ; Wiiliam Johnston, Captain White's company, wounded iu thfgh, severely, thoueh not mor taily ; Sergeant Crisman,. Captain Hooper's company, kilkd. The brigade is almost aLuihilated. The Fifty fourth regiment has only captain (Pascball teft, with five lieutenants, and about fifteeu men remaining. Tbe fragments of the brigade are now collected under 1 lie command of Lieutenant Colonel Tate, of tbe Sixth, and attached to the Louisiana bjigade. These fragments now number about two bnodred and seventy five men. Thn is a serious disaster, so far as cur feelings are con cerned, bat it does hot shake our hopes as to success. This sad eflair took plac in the presence of General Lee and Major-Genera I Early, who had arrived on this side the river. The loss of the enemy has beej eerious, p.sthe ground in front of our we rks was literally covered with his dead. At midnight ba Saturday night Gen. Lee began to fall back. On Sunday morning ho formed the line ot batUe bejocd Culpeper; but although the enemy hud forced tha guard at Kelly's Ford, and cojupelltd Gen. Rhodes to fall back with a loss ot two hundred men killed, wounded and missing yet no attack was made on us by the infantry. Iu tbe afternoon the enemy's cavalry attacked Gen. Wilcox's brigade, and were bad ly cut up. Daring Saudy night Gen. L?e tell bick to his old position' south of the Rapid Ann. P. S. Lieut.

If the result of the recert elections in the North means anything it means wan We were told that the North was tired o the war, that they could get no more men, and the war be brought to a speedy Urminatiqn. Bat instead of all th'a we find that the Itepublioans hav4 carried every thing, even the Democratic cify of New York by a sweep ing majority. The war on tee Sonth is far more popular ia the North now than at any tirao during the first year of hostilities, and our enemies are more thoroughly united now than at any former veriod. 8o let our people be not deceived.

And this has taken place while our people, encour aged to it by the Standard and Progress, were holding " peace meetings," debouncing their own government, and finding fault with almost everything at home. We will not undertake to say how much or how little In fluence the cJurse of tho Standard and Progress ex erted on the public mind of the North, toward uniting them again3t us ; but it is notorious that copious ex extracts were made from the Standa id by Northern journals, for the purpose of encouraging the war party of the North. The reeult has been brought about, and no doubt these extracts had their influence. Now we can see that our men in the army will have pknty of hard work to do. A Serious Practical Joke. While the authori ties were feting thj Russian Admiral and his snite last week, a conge, it seems, was given to tbe sailors of the fleet for the ret cl the day, so that they, too, might enjoy the festivities. Ihe Jack tars instinctively kept near the chore in their rambliug, imagining that they were all right while they were in sight of the water. They bad been warned of land-sharks, and they were bound to give them 'a widt berth. But, uolortnnalely, they were led astray by the aquatic name of one of our streets, and set sail down it perfectly unconscious of danger. It was not long before they got into an under current, consisting of grog sellers and dancing saloons, with which the place is infested. The phlegmatic Ruts forgot every caution iu the hilarity of the new scene. The Polar sea began to melt from about his heart, and was soon as jolly as tbe Jack tars of any other nativi ty around him. There were those about him and his fellows who were bent on making them bay for all their fnn. No sooner were the sailors overcome with tbe combined excitement of liquor and dancing than , they were stripped of their bran new toggery, and ' whipped into suits of old uniforms as fast as the thing could be dote. They were taken and sold as substi tutes before they had sufficiently recovered their senses to discern the change in their appearance. We hear that the Admiral has becn hunting for his man, but with what success we cannot say. Weknow he must ba in a state of great choler over the event, though he does not like to say much on account of the carriage ride aud the dinner we gave him. Metropolitan Record.

Oar sol diers cannot live aud fight on water and oir. They must have provisions. Will the people at home supply them cheerfully, and of their own fiee will, or will tbey compel the government to send out its officers to ireprcs-i provisions ? One or the other they must do.
