Pkacc ]^oi.ctioks.—For Bome reason unknown
to Q8 it BOcnifl to be titken for i^sntod—& fore^^one
conclosion—that the liCgiglature will pass tome re-
snlaiions in relation to peace, dl^ifying them, roost
Inaptly, with the name of peace resolations. If we
miffht hope to reach the eje and the ear of members,
we would earnestly implore them not to do anything
of the kind. So far from promoting peace, all such
movements have a directly opposite tendency end
effect. Experience shows this too plainly to be de-
oi^d. W^e all know that more thiin a year ago, when
the first movements of that kind occurred in this
meetings held in several counties, the ene
my were so greatly encouraged that at a meeting
held by them at Washington, N. 0., it was resolved
to apply to their government for reinforcements to
march to the interior of this State in the confident
expectation (which these resolutions plainly author
ised) of there meeting with a Union sentiment by
which they expected to be welcomed. Prom that
day to this, every movement of the so-called peace
party in this and other States—mainly in this State
and Georgia—has encouraged the enemy in like
fBanner. See with what exaltation the New York
Herald received the resolutions offered in Congress
ten days ago by Dr. Leach, and how it felt author
ised to tell its readers that the “representatives of
North Carolina” are “ready for peace upon the basia
of the constitution of the United States.’' These
representatives tell us that they 0^7 coiuatenaiioed
Mr. Leach’s resolutions as an act of “courtesy” to
their colleague. Fatal courtesy! si§ce it encourages
the enemy to believe that North Carolina is willing
to go back to a Union which wronged her before
she separated from it, but has wronged her a hundred
fold more aftxce, and has openly proclaimed that it
will Tf«»ng her a thousand fold more if she should be
such a fool and dastard as to submit her neck to the
joke. '
It is Dot easy to imagine a more unwise and un
patriotic movement than that of Dr. Leach, or a
more inconsiderate one, to say the least, than that
of his colleagues whq countenanccd it. He tells
the enemy that it was “at an unguarded moment, un
der the influence of unwise counsel, and without
mature deiiberation.” that the slave States separated
from the yankees. This is not true in fact, for the
slave States had been deliberating upon this very
thing f# forty years, deploring indeed the necessity
which they saw and felt would arise to take the etcp :
of separaticn. The “ungnc^rded moment” was when 1 _
Lincoln dared to ceil apou North Caroline to assea-1 ExcouRAaixo—/o Unc
lives we have been opposed to his political opinions,
and never expect to be otherwise than .opposed to
them. We never had any intercourse mthiiim, per-
sonal ot official, and never expect to have any. We
are not in the habit of praising him, for it is not al
ways that we could do it consrientioasly. Nor are
we in the habit of abusing him, for that might foster
disaffection to the great cause. And so far as we
can hope ;to help that cause, so far do we support,
the President and the Administration—just so far
and no farther.) We do believe—we have not a
shadow of doubt—that the President is anxious to
make peace, that he will never lose an opportunity
to secure that great blessing, and that it is only
through him, the true constitutional agent, that we
can ever hope to secure it.
We implore the Representatives of the people of
North Carolina, therefore, in the Legislature and in
Congress, to refrain, like sensible men and true
patriots, from all resolutions, an^ spe>ohes, and acts,
that may encourage the enemy, depress our o^n
people, and postpone or defeat the accomplishment
of the “unalterable determination” of all to secure
the independence of the Confederacy.
A Wabsino Voiok—Wo have reason to believa
that the eminent citizen alluded to in the following
paragraph from tbe Baleigh Conservative is the
Hon. Wm. A. GrahaH’
‘•Perhaps it may not out of place, and we do not
intend to violate contideDce, to allude to the views in a
private letter of a distinguished citizen of the StAte,
whose position entitles him to the entire confidetice of
our p^ple, and to none more than to tbe confidence of
the Conaervatn$$ The peace movements in our Legis
lature, he views with anxiety and interest. The present
poetare of our affairs in his opinion requires the most
delicate and cautious action and the wisest reserve.
Xnapropfir imprcsoioue xtpou mm waU as irrita
tion and division among ourselves, must both be avoided.”
Gov. Graham posaesees the confideDce of the
people of North Carolina, not only of the party with
which he has acted, but of all parties. The influence
of his clear head, calm temper and sound judgment
has heretofore been felt in every position in which
he has chosen to exert them. It may not be im
proper now to say, (since we see it alluded to in a
Baiei(rh paper,) that a speech delivered by him in
one of the caucasses held daring the last Lesrislatare
so effectually killed off the miserable peace move
ments which afflicted and disgraced that period, that
they were never heard of again. Gov. Graham is
cow the same that he was then—jealous of the honor
of his State end devoted to the cause of his country.
We trust thut hia influecce will not be less now than
then, with all who have that honor and that cause at
heart, and that the resolutions of Mr. Pool, and
even ilie less objectionable rosolations. of Mr. Fowle

‘THE NOETH O AROLINa”EDUCATION
SOCIETY.”
This Society was organ.z£d a few weeks ago in
Warrenton. It is designed to collect fund and
place every needy' soldier's child in the State at the
best existing school near'Tst the residence of its pa
rents. This it proposes doing, immediately Is it
not dne the men who have fallen in defence of their
homes—the men who are now exposed to the rigors
and dangerc of camp— the mothers who have toUed
in the field? by day and around their hearth-stones
by night—to feed and clothe these children? It is
dne the children, and their native State, whose re-
iigioup, political srd social interests will soon be
transferred to their hard?, that they be educated.
THU PjuAH.
Let the citizens of 6very school district unite in
forming a Society auxiliary to this State Society,
collect funds, place these children at schocl, smd re
port quarterly tbe amount collected uid expended,
the cumber cf children at school, &c.
Where there is co district society let liberal pub
lic-spirited men take charge of the work and report
what they do, that we may asce/taia'eveiy quarter
the results of our labors throughout tbe State.
RBABONS rOB ADOPTllfa THIS TLAK.
1. Because it is simple and practical and requires
those who know these children to take chai^ of
them and educate them. It will enable the mana
gers to expend so much of the money raised in each
county and district aajiay be needed there.
2 This plan requires immediate action. It is not
deemed wise or expedient to wait another month or
year. These children need oar assistwce now.
3. This is the cheapest plan that can be. devised.
It will educate soldiers’ children with Confederate
money. No endowment is needed, as every dollar of
the money should >*e expended as soon as collected.
4. The Executive Cdmmittee adopted this plat)
because it desired these children to enter the best
8chfbla in the State. They know that it is impossi
ble to take them from their mothers and place them
in one ur two high schools. No endowment suffi

not submit, and ought not to have submitted, to the
tyrant’s call upon her to help put down her sister
States who had chosen to exercise a right which
tbey claimed and which many even in tbe yaukee
States conceded to them. Tho cause of those States
was her own. cause, and she wisely and deliberately
determined to fight fur it, not against it
Dr. Leach’s assertions, therefore, are as fake as
his step was unwise and onpatriolic.
But the country could submit to all this, bad os it
is, if it had no effect beyond the limits of the Ooc-
federacy. That, however, is far from b^^ing the c.’-se.
On the contrary, every word he said encouraged tbe
•pnemy to prosecute the war wiA more vigor, lead
ing them to believe that it needed only stronger
blows and additional outrages thoroughly to subdue
North Carolina and bring her back under the domin
ion of Lincoln. And if that should be the deci'^ion
or the late of North Carolina, why not of ail the
other States ef the Confederacy? We verily believe
that the yankee people and government would lorg
since have despaired and given up this cone?t, if
they bad not been encouraged by the movements
and meetings and resolutions of the so-called peace
men, in and out of this State, including the messages
of Gov. Brown of Georgia, the speeches of Mr. Vice
President Stephens snd the letter of Mr. Boyce of
South Carolina. Nothing but these, we feel assured,
has served to keep up their hopes of success, against
all the teachings of history, which assured them that
a brave and united people determined to be free
could not be enslaved, and against all the failures of
nearly four years of desperate fighting and awful
slaughter.
The South cannot give up this contest without
utter and irretrievable ruin. Th? edicts of confisca
tion of all their property have gone forth from the
yankee Congress and Executive, and bitter experi
ence has already shown that they would be doomed
to be the slaves ot slaves if they stop short pf inde
pendence. Even Dr. Leach and his courteous friends
are satisfied of j.hat; for it is not three weeks since
they recorded their votes for the resolution which
passed Congress imanimously, declaring
“Tb«kt it is the unalterable determination of the people
of the Confederate States, in humbl^ reliance on Almighty
God, to suffer all the calamities of the most protracted
war, but tbat they will never, on any terms, politically
Bffiiiate with a people who are guilty of an invasion of
their soil and the butchery of their citizens.”
Sach being their solemn resolution, why will Dr.
Leach and his friends take any step which manifest
ly interferes with the accomp ishment of their unal
terable determination? Do tbey pretend to justify
their peace resolutions by expressing a doubt of the
wish of President Davis to conclude a peace at the
very earliest practicable moment? Impossible
They cannot believe—there is not a man in the Con
federacy that believes—that the President has any
interest or wish to be comnared with his interest in
making peace and his desire to do so. The offices
which he has held, the reputation be has acquired
especially in the worid beyond the Confederacy, ail
sink into insignificance in comparison with the fame

acre; and many traces where dead and wounded had
been carried ofl. Tae enemy’s loss is eetimated at
500 to 1000. The road and woods for miles was
strewed with clothing, canteens, &c., thrown away
in the yankee flight at night; while in their camp, 2
miles from the battle field, they lefc any quantity of
provisions, liquor^, blankets, overcoats, &3.
This handsome victory over some 6,000 yankees
was gained by a sir all forc« chiefly of Georgia militia.
Gkoboia.—Nothing conclusive is yet known as
to the situation in Georgia. Tne long delay of Sher
man’s march can hardly be otherwise than favorable
to us and perhaps fatal to him.
Thi Loss OF THE Ad-Vanc».—A writer in the

On Monday Ijoth hou'^es were in secre.t sewon. In

u^xon payment of the tithes actually due. In open f^ef*-
«ion, in the House, Mr J. M. Leach introduced the fol-
loiving:
“Resolved, That the privilege of the writ of ffl'ax
e->ipu» ia one of the great bulwarks of freedom, and that
it uugbt not to be suspended except in extreme cases,
where the public safety imp3rativt'ly demandait; that the
people of (iiiu Confederacy are united in a great struggle
for liberty, and that no exieency exists justifying its sus-
pensior.”

Mr. Phillips said n c *nt octvrreaees in th" county of
Orange had induced him to offor these resolution.?. He
did mt d«ny the right of imprvssm?nt, and no State had
aoqciicsa 1 n:or«* cboerrnlly in ft than North Caroiia*»,
bat be did protest against taking private nroptt«t7 with
out paying therefor jn‘t comp;usatiou. If the grievances
complaint of wore the fanlt of mere ofScials, or the re
sult of an in-ufScieot orj?anizaticn of gover;iaa«t. they
might be borao, bat they had b-.en i?uffi;red everywhere
■D the Confpderncy and for yf nr a*‘t*r year. He then
proceed-.*d to a disoussioa, teri^tim, of hiaros'jlutiocs. and
said th • only quc?tion wa«, whetht.-r the Conf^idtr.
ernm^nt had . iolati d tho ^.riuciples of right. Ia Rnpport
of his popition that th*’y had, he instanced the unpress-
ment ot 160 muies and horses in hia county, for which
tbe schedule price, $700, bad been paid, when the animals
world have brought iu market $2100 a piece. Thia was
called impressment, but it was tax.ilir'n. aad ttxation
without ihe constitutional requiremcut of biding urjiform,
Oiie-third ofau article’s value was notjuetcompentiRtion.
Comnlaif’ta had become frequent oa this subject and in
a collection ot General Urdt^rs issued from the A. & I. G.
office reference was made s- veral times to thew remon-
strancee, so Chat the authorities coaid not be ignorant of
the evils meuMoned. He had no hes'tatiou in stamping
thi^ conduct as d'^liberats and in saying that these viola
tions of right were increagins? in magnitude. He then
proceeded to re^'iew thH legislation ou this sulje’t, argu-
!cg that the laws provided no redro®, and stating; that it
was a significant fact the people never appealed to the
law—feeiing that to do so would aff )td them no relief
and serve but to bring down a heavier punishment upon
them.
Tbe people were succumbing to these encroachments
and it waa time to speak out and aron>« them to an as
sertion of theh* rights. If it. were not done all would t>c
lost. It was so in all great struggles; it had b >en thus
in England and was so now. A warning should be given,
Tor remonstrance, memorial, complaint had been in vain.
It mnst l>e made knowu that the people were not disposed
to eiidare everythiog. No man could love a power that
wronged him, nor any pjopie love a Government that
pCrsidtently an! deliberately robb d its citizens.
It wae a point of honor, too, that those wrongs shouM
not be borne. John Hampden h^d refused to pay even
twenty shillings ship monev ft was not so mi^ the
amount taken, a^ the right to take, was in question. He
used language of protest and indignation on tltis eubjuctc
but he f*‘lt that North Carolina had a double interest In
this m«;tter. Her substance was tak(u from her with
out just compPD!»afion, and how could she pay her
taxes—how meet that $9,0co,000 she was to raise for
State expenses? He struck not at men—a quatrermast,er
«ras nothirig—but he did strike at the system and the
