.. ... STATE .HEff.. Honors to the Dead. Notwithstanding the exceedingly inclement weather there was a very general turn-out tf our citizens yesterday afternoon, to pay funeral honors to the soldier-brothers. Major James J. and Cap. Campbell T. Iredell, The demon stration was most proper, creditable and ratifying, proper, as a tribute of respect to the memory of two brave and estimable voung townsmen, who sealed with their blood their devotion to the cause of their State and section, and whose bearing in the field was such as to reflect honor upon their native city; creditable, as an exhibition, up on the part of the community, of a grate ful appreciation of- high worth and gallant services; and gratifying to those just feel ings of pride which the family and friends ofthe lamented dead must ever cherish, in the recollection of their virtues and heroic sacrifice. " At the hour designated for the funeral, the Episcopal Church was crowded almost to its full capacity. The remains of the deceased brothers rested on a catafalque in front of the chancel, which fair and sym pathizing hands had beautifully festooned with crosses and wreaths of flowers and ev ergreens. The solemn ritual was read by the Rev. Dr. Mason, when the cortege moved to the City Cemetery, a number of ex-Confederate soldiers preceding the hear ses, and a large portion of the community, of both sexes, following. The falling rain .lid not deter the young ladies from ming ling in the procession, each provided with :i iloral offering with which to strew the lit resting places of the lamented dead " nobly dying ere their prime." James Johnston Iredell was major of the '"th Regiment of N. C. Troops, Daniel's 1 Irigade. The writer of this was his Col lege class-mate and knew him intimately up to that sad 10th day of May, 1S64, when lie fell at his post on the field l Spottsyl vania. Possessing a strict sense of person id honor, a gentle and charitable heart, a remarkable regard for the feelings of others and for the high-toned amenities of life, and inheriting all the generous quali ties of the stock from which he sprung, he was in the truest sense of that comprehen sive word, a gentleman. Green be the turf above him ! Campbell Tredwcll Iredell was a Captain iu the 47th Regiment N. C. Troops, (Col. Faribault.) Were we to exhaust the lan guage of eulogy, we could not so fittingly po. lray his character us by the narration of a simple and touching incident : Captain Iredell's arm was sheltered by a shell dur ing the terrible carnival of death at Get tysburg, when, in that mutilated condition lie started on foot for the field hospital, some two or three miles off. Pressed re j leatedly to ride in some of the numerous ambulances that were carrying the wounded t the rear, his invariable reply was : " No, let those who are more badly wo und ;d. who cannot walk, have the precedence." The exhaustion and loss of blood, pro duced by the time and effort necessary to enable him to reach the hospital, so pros trated the gallant young man, that he sank beneath amputation of the shattered limb, and died a martyr to his own noble and chivalric unselfishness ! It was the grand abnegation re-enacted of Sir Phillip Sydney, who, dying on the field of hattle, put from his lips a cup of cold water, that it might sooth the agony of a comrade who lay bleeding by his side. Such an act is the proudest legacy that he could have left be hind him ! Hal. Sentinel, 12th inst. Cr.ors Comiko ix. Large quantities of Co ton, corn and naval stores continue to llow into Newbern.

Mr. W. has made quite an acceptable officer and has won the respect and esteem of all who have had business intercourse with him. He leaves this position to resume the cultiva tion of his plantation taking up, once more, an occupation he has been eminent ly successful in. We wish him success. "Neicbern Commercial. Col. Manly. We this morning an nounce this gentleman as a candidate for Judge of the Criminal Court of Galveston and Harriss counties. He needs no intro duction to our citizens. His services here, during the war, as a prominent and useful officer of an efficient regiment made him known favorably to the large majority of Galvestonians. His affability of demeanor, his ability as a lawyer and his decision of character, are also well known. A scion of the best revolutionary stock of North Carolina, he is every way worthy of his lineage. We clip the above notice from the Gal veston (Texas) Xews. Col. Manly is well known in this his native State, and wo en dorse fully what is said of him by the News. Jornx.v l. Death of Hami'DEx S. Smith, Esq. We are pained to have to announce the death of another of our best citizens. Hampden Sidney Smith, a native of Raleigh, and long known sis the Secretary of the North Caro lina Fire Insurance Company, expired at his residence on Sunday morning last after an illness of several weeks. His health had been feeble and precarious for years. The deceased, though he never aspired to public place, was nevertheless qualified by his learning and eloquence for any position that might have been assigned him. But he was singularly amiable, modest and unob trusive, and had no tasto for the rouh, hard contest, of the liar or of public life. He was the only ton of that good man, Benjamin B. Smith, Esq., deceased, form erly one of our leading merchants. Hal. Standard. The State Libkaby. We are indebted to Oliver H. Perry, Esq.. Librarian, for a "Catalogue of Books belonging to the North Carolina State Library," prepared by him and published by authority of the General Assembly. The Catalogue, em bracing the titles of books, number of vol umes, case and shelf, in the State Library proper, the Libraries of the Senate and House of Commons, and of the Supreme Court, makes a handsome volume of 120 pages. It is gotten up with admirable method and convenience of reference, and reflects great credit upon the industry and taste of Mr. Perry, as the neat arrangement of the Libraries themselves does upon his peculiar adaptation to the position which he fills so acceptably. In looking over this Catalogue, wo are impressed with the fact that the State Li brary is particularly rich in valuable works f History. There are also a large num or of volumes of State papers, which will be a fruitful mine to the future history of the. State. Mr. Perry deserves much com mendation in this connection. When he assumed the duties of Lis position, twelve years ago, there was not a volume of the newspapers of the State in it. The files of the Raleigh Register, alone, running from November 17'.H up to the year 1KG3, are in valuable in a historical point of view. Upon the whole, ihe Library, though smaller than cruld be desired, is a collec tion of rare and valuable works, and is 'very way creditablo to the honorable Board of Trustees, under whose supervi sion it is placed.

Perry " against the Constitutional Amendment. One by one the leading men of the South axe taking position squarely ana punucry against the constitutional amendment. It gives us pleasure to lay before our readers the following manly letter from the Hon. Benjamin P. Perry : . . GRKENvruaE, S. C, October 26, 1866. CJias. TF. Woodward, Esq., Philadelphia: My Deab Sir: I had the pleasure of re ceiving your letter a few days since, ex pressing a kind interest in the condition of the Southern States, and urging that South Carolina should adopt the constitutional amendment proposed by Congress. You also express a wish to know my views in reference to this all-absorbing political ques tion. It has been said that a man never can be dishonored except by himself. Others may injure him and oppress him; they may slan der him and destroy him, but they can no muxc uisuuuor mm ana renaer mm inia- mous than they can defame virtue, and truth and honor. The same may be said of a people or a nation. Whilst they pur sue an honorable and patriotic course thev cannot be disgraced by the insults, wrongs ana oppressions oi a stronger power, how ever tyrannical and exacting that may be. The Southern -people mav be deprived of all political power in the Union, their pro perty may be confiscated, and their most distinguished and virtuous citizens gibbet ed on the gallows, but they cannot be ren dered infamous in history by any such bar barous and inhuman conduct. Such a course will only dishonor and render in famous their oppressors. 1 do not concur with you in supposing that the constitutional amendment will be adopted by three-fourths of the States. I am sure this will not be the case. There are thirty-six States in the Federal Union. and this will require the adoption of the amendment by twenty-seven. The rejec tion of the amendment by ten States will defeat it. It is morally certain as certain as any future event can be, depending on human action that South Carolina, Geor gia, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar kansas and Kentucky eleven States will not dishonor themselves by adopting the proposed constitutional amendment. There are not, therefore, as you say, "Northern States enough to make the requisite num ber to adopt the amendment." If adopted. it must be by the aid of two recreant States of the South besides Tennessee. This can not occur. You state that von greatly fear worse terms will be imposed on the South, if the amendment be not adopted. What securi ty has the South that worse terms may not be imposed, if the amendment is adopted ? e nave no guarantee whatever that the Southern members will be admitted to their seats in Congress, after the amendment is adopted. Nothing of the kind is intima ted; and, whilst the test oath is exacted, it would be impossible for the Southern States to be represented in Congress, except by those who would dishonor and disgrace them. We have no guarantee that Congress may not still hold the Southern States ps conquered provinces, and appoint Provis ional Governors over them, with instruc tions to convene "loyal" conventions, elec ted by universal negro suffrage, and have formed State Constitutions bv which all shall be entitled to vote and hold office, without regard to caste or color, to the ex clusion of every one who has aided or coun tenanced the "rebellion." The first section of the constitutional amendment proposes to make citizens of all the negroes of the Southern States, without regard to moral character or at tachment to republican principles, which are required of all foreigners who become citizens, after a residence of five 3-ears in the United btates. jo matter how infa mous may be the character of the negro, as a liar, a rogue and a murderer, he be comes an American citizen by this amend ment, and entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizenship. But the Irish man, German and Englishman must first satisfy the court that he is a man of good moral character, and well attached to the principles of our Government before he can be invested with such rights and privi leges. Why this preference should be given to the black man, in his ignorance and vice, over the virtuous and mtellierent white man who comes here from a foreign land, is hard to conceive. Already South Carolina has declared, by legislative enactment, that nearroes shall have all the rights and privileges of white men, in person and property. They may sue and be sued, purchase and dispose of property, inheritand be tried, as white, men are. They are sub ject to no greater penalties or punishment lor crime than white men. In all of the Southern States the same enactment has been or will be made. It would seem that this ought to satisfy the Northern peo ple of our purpose to protect the negro and do amide justice to him in all his rights of person and property. Ihe right to hold oihee and vote is a po litical right, which belongs exclusively to every community, and to be regulated as to them shall seem proper, without interfer ence, iu any way, by any other power. There is not a civilized community in the world where restrictions have not been im posed on tne right of holding office, voting and exercising political power. Ihe North ern States have done so from their earliest history up to the present dav. To deprive the Southern States of the same right would be tne grossest injustice and ty ranny. Ami to consent to it, on their part, voluntarily, would be self-degradation and infamy. Ihe second section of the proposed con stitutional amendment declares that rep resentation shall be in proportion to the number of voters in each State, and that if any male inhabitants over the age 01 twenty-one are excluded from voting for any cause whatever, they shall not be enumera ted in the basis ot representation. This makes it imperative on the Southern States to give up their representation for a large portion of their population, or permit the negroes to vote. The injustice of this con stitutional provision to the Southern States must be manifest to every unprejudiced mind. In all the Southern States, a large proportion of their population consists of negroes, who are utterly incapable of hold ing office, voting, or exercising any po litical rights. At the same time thev ex clude, by their labor, white persons, who would otherwise take their places, occupy the country and cultivate its lands. In the Northern States, thev have verv few negroes, and their exclusion from voting would not seriously affect their represen tation in Congress. The consequence would be that one section of the American Union, with great wealth and a large population, would have a most inadequate influence in national legislation, The proposed amendment of the Federal Constitution forces the Southern States to choose between giving up their equal rep resentation in Congress, or permitting their negroes to vote. between these alterna tives, no Southern btate could hesitate for a moment to choose when the issue is forced on them. Equal representation in the national counoils must be given up. You very properly say, that already the Southern States are iu a minority in both houses of Congress, and a full representa tion for their negroes would not give them a majority of the House of Representatives, In South Carolina we have largely over & hundred thousand more negrous - than white persons. If universal suffrage pre vailed, the entire , political po wer of the State would be in tne hands of the negroes. They: could elect to : every office in the State one of their own caste ; and send Senators and Eepresenalives to Congress. The same state of affairs, deplorable as it Would be, must likewise take place in Mis sissippi. And in all of the Southern States there would be many counties in a simile r condition negroes elected to the Legisla ture and filling all country offices. To suppose that any Southern State would voluntarily adopted such a position in the National Constitution, is to presume that she is insensible to her own honor, and reckless of her own safety. It may be said that Tennessee has already done so. Never was there a greater mistake. If the constitutional amendment had been sub mitted to the people of Tennessee, it would have been rejected by nine-tenths of them. It was adopted only by a minority of her Legislature, unfairly and corruptly elected, and thoroughly debased and degraded by Northern influence. In all communities there are unprincipled and infamous men, who seek power and notoriety by sacrific ing honor and the interests of their country. Unfortunately for Tennessee, the scum and dregs of society have been thrown up by the horrible cival war through which she has passed. Men have got into power in that State, accidentally and fraudulently, who are a disgrace to human nature, and who will ever remain infamous in history. The same thing cannot again occur in any other Southern State. The third section of the proposed con stitutional amendment is more revolting to an honorable mind than either of the others. It is, in the true sense of the word, a Bill of attainder and cc post facto law, so repugnant to the sentiments and feelings of the framers of the Federal Constitution that they declared no such law should ever be passed. It punishes for past offences, by one fell swoop, tens of thousands of hon orable men. The conception of such a Bill was never before, probably, thought of by an Englishman, or the descendant of an Englishman. It certainly was not attempted by the English Parliament in the darkest and bloodiest days of Eng lish tyranny. The only incident in history analagous to it, is the wish of Nero, that all men had but one neck so that he could cut them off at one blow. It proposes to os tracise and disgrace forever, not only all the leading men of the South, but all, how ever humble they may be, who have ever filled any civil office in any of the Southern States. This section declares that no one who has taken an oath to support the Con stitutiou of the United States and was af terwards aiding and abetting in the war, shall hereafter hold any office under the State or United States. The Governors of the States, the Judges, members of the Legislature, magistrates, constables, State and District officers, are all, forever, excluded by this provision. To suppose that any Southern man would vol untarily adopt such a provision is indeed placing a very low estimate on Southern character. The soldier who gallantly fought under the lead of his General, and who would have sacrificed his own life, at any time, for the protection of his commander, is required to dishonor and disgrace him in peace. The son is required to vote the in famy of his father. The people are asked to repudiate and disgrace those whom they have, through life, honored and glorified in honoring. Every Southern State is requir ed to expel from her councils, her Legisla ture, and from all public offices, her wisest, best and most experienced public servants. Was ever such a proposition before submit ted to an intelligent, virtuous and Christian people ? How any honorable man, who re flects on this section of the proposed amend ment, and sees its bearing and consequences, can expect or counsel its adoption is, to my mind, incomprehensible. That any South ern man should vote for it or favor its adoption is a confession of his own dishon or and infamy. Such a man would wil lingly betray his country, his own house hold and his God. If the Southern States were so lost to all shame as to adopt this section, it is possi ble that young men might be found to fill all tho State offices ; but they could not re present their State in Congress or hold any office under the United States, on account of their having aided and abetted in the war. The States would still be unrepre sented in Congress as long as the test oath is continued. The Constitution of the United States provides that amendments may be propos ed by a vote of two-thirds of both Houses of Congress, and when adopted by three fourths of the State Legislatures, shall be come apart of the Federal Constitution. This clause of the Constitution evidently contemplated a full Congress when such amendments should be proposed. It was supposed that all of the States would be re presented in Congress. This was the se curity against injudicious amendments. But the proposed amendment was adopted whilst ten States were excluded from all representation in Congress. It never could have been proposed to the State Legisla tures by a full Congress, and consequently should not now be regarded by them as constitutionally submitted to the Legisla tures for adoption. It should be, and will be, rejected unanimously by ten or eleven of the Southern States, and never can be come a part of the Federal Constitution. What will bo the consequences of this re jection, is wholly immaterial to the South ern States. You say that worse terms will be enforced on us. This may be oO ; but wo shall have the consolation of knowing that we did not voluntarily adopt them, and that amidst all the tyranny and oppres sion which may be heaped on us, we have maintained our honor unsulled, and never can lose our self-respect. The Southern States may be kept out of Congress. Who enres. for that ? We have been out for the last twelve months, and during all that time have been improving our condition, and rapidly restoring the prosperity of our country. The Northern people are nearly equally divided. One half of them are our friends, who deeply sympathize with us in our misfortunes. With this half, wo constitute a large ma jority of the people of the United States. It will be passing strange, indeed, if one third of the people of this Republic should continue to rule, with a rod of iron, the other two-thirds, for any length of time. Thatthis tyranny and usurped power should continue always, is impossible. It must, and will, have its end. The masses of the American people are honest and virtuous, however corrupt and malignant their lea ders may be. The Executive Department of the National Government is with us, and will do all that man can do to maintain the Constitution and the equal rights of every section of the Union. There is every reas on to believe, too, that the Judiciary De partment of the Government will oppose its silent and peaceful power to the tyran ny of Congress ; and we should not de spair. The fourth section of the proposed amendment to the Coustitution, which guarantees the Federal debt and repudiates the Confederate debt, is as unnecessary as it is futile. No Southern State wishes to repudiate the one or assume the other. If, at any future time, a majority of Con gress should be disposed to dishonor the nation by repudiation, this section, as a part of the Constitution would not stay their action. They could refuse, or neg lect, to levy taxes or make appropriations to meet the debt as it becomes due, with out violating the Constitution. And even if it did Violate the Constitution, &at would be no bander to a corrupt Congress in car- 1. 11. i i i 1 1 - xjriug vumcu purpusu, kut wu jluu w, JJ Y LI1U sad experience of the present Congress in disre'gaitfi3g:and trampling on 1 the Federal Constitution. .. i The fifth, section of the proposed amend ment declares that ' Congress shall have power to enforce,' by ' appropriate legisla tion, the provisions of ; this article.' IHere we have a power given-Congress to destroy all the rights of the States, and centralize all power in the National Government. Under the pretext that a State has abridged the privileges or immunities of a citizen by refusing suffrage to the negroes, Congress may, under this section, declare universal suffrage to that class of persons. Under the, pretext that some one has beende-i - I 1 ri 1 j j ' j 1- i?i a pnveu. uy citaie vxmrrs 01 1113 iioerry or property, they may give the United States Courts entire jurisdiction of all litigation in the State. The legislative, executive and judiciary departments of the State Governments may, under this section, be entirely swollowed up by Congress, and the American Union made one grand consoli dated empire. The proposed amendment was not sub mitted to the President for his approval, as required by the Constitution, before be ing submitted to the State Legislatures, and they should not, therefore, consider or regaru it at all as a proposed constitutional amendment for their adoption. Eleven States were excluded from Congress when it passed, and the President never sanc tioned it. But I feel well assured that Congress did not expect or wish the ratification of this amendment by the States. The people were to be made to believe that Congress intended to reconstruct the Union. This was "a tub thrown out to the whalo " to amuse them till the fall elections were over. Congress does not intend to have the States reconstructed till after the Presidential election in 1SCS. The Southern States are to be kept out of the Union tiil after that period, in order to insure the radical tri umph. The object of the Radical leaders is to per petuate the power of their party. This they think they can do by negro suffrage, and by that alone, lint they were afraid to put that plank in their platform at present. It will be inserted Iwo years hence. When Stewart proposed universal suffrage and universal amnesty, the leadsrs of the Radi cal party expressed their - willingness to adopt it. They were willing to forego the pleasure of hanging rebels and excluding Southern members, if this could be accom plished. I have thus, my dear sir, given you my views in reference to the constitutional amendment. Let me conclude by assuring you that as feeble as South Carolina may be, and as " powerless " as you say she is " to protect herself," she is, nevertheless, able to maintain, amidst all her oppressions, her honor unsullied, and will never, volun tarily, accept her own degradation.

Within the last few days, the President has di rected pardons to be issued to the following nam ed persons, one of which sought pardon under the first exception of the amnesty proclamation, hav ing held a petty office under the late Confederacy. The remainder applied under the twenty thousand dollar ciause: Willis Benham, Ga.; William A. Pegraw, Louisiana; D. II. Reynolds, Arkansas; J. D. Eppes, Mississippi; W. A.

They al so presented an accompanying letter from Gov. Humphrey, based on the idea that there will be no trial, but he says while they do not seek to screen him from this, they believe that his imprisonment is not necessary to secure his presence when de sired for trial, and can only be attended with fa tal results to his health; and that the ends of jus tice will be reached by admitting him to bail or parole.

Life has been allotted to him well nigh to the verge of bis three score years. Honors have poured on him for more than half his life, filliDg full the measure of American tame. Yet were his life to rival the ages of the patriarchs and his honors to double the glories of the illustrious son ol David, the bright particular year of bis history would be that in which a chained captive, the last victim of a lost cause, he raised his voice in perpetual claim tor no favor or twenty million of enemies, but justice. A feeble tongue, it may be, that makes the ap peal, but the cry pierces the triple iron of his dungeon, pierces the massive walls of his Bastile, drowns the multitudinous roar of the neighbor ing sea, rises above the victorious nation's paeans, and a fallen nation's will, and will go " sounding down the ages," to assure the world that the virtue men call Roman, aud the courage they call Spartan, died neither on the Tiber nor the Euphrates. , - .

Turpentine. During the week just ended the market has ruled somewhat unsettled as regards this article, and as will be seen from our table of sales below prices have fluctuated closing, how ever, with rather more enquiry from distillers, and sales made to-day at $5 for virgin and yellow dip, and $2 50 for hard, ft 280 lbs.; being a decline of 12 J 25 cents on former quotations. The arrivals continue light, and for the week the sales are 1,081 bbls., as follows: Bbls. Virgin and Yellow Dip. nard.

The market for this arti cle has ruled exceedingly quiet since our last re view, and the unfavorable advices from the New York market has caused a decline in prices here of 4 cents for the week. The sales since Monday have been connnea to a lew small lots at 70 cents, but sellers do not appear disposed to accept this hgure, and are generally holding lor higher rates. The scarcity of shipping has also had the effect to cheek transactions, buyers being unable to ship at present. Wo give sales lor tho weeK as lollows Friday .... 474 bbls. at 7475 cents ft gallon.

The dullness reported in the market at the close of our last review has continued through out the week just ended, and prices have further declined on all grades. At the time of closing our enquiries there is scarcely any demand, buyers not being disposed to purchase, owing in a great measure to the dimcuity experienced m obtaining ship room, togetner witn tne unfavorable condi tion of the Northern markets. The arrivals for the week both by river and rail have been small. but in consequence of the meagre transactions the stock is accumulating in first hands. We quote sales for the week of only 587 bbls. Common at $3 $3 50; 78 do. No. 2 at S4 75$5; and 286 do. No. 1 at $5, $6 50$7, as in quality. Tar Has been in bruited request during the week, and has further declined in price. We quote sales of 418 bbls. at $2 55, $2 50$2 35 ft bbl. Beef Cattle and Sheep. t or beeves there is some enquiry for butchering purposes, and we note a moderate supply on market.

During the week just ended the advi ces both irom home aud foreign markets report a dechue in prices, ana as a consequence has im parted considerable dullness to the market here, and prices are fully 5G cents lower than quoted in our last. The sales have been limited, and are as follows : Friday, 19 bales at 35j cents for mid dling ; Saturday, 15 do. at 35 cents ; and Wednes day, 21 do. at 3u cents.
