The Journal having been read, the House went through ita morning business and proceeded to the eonsideration ofthe unfinished busines of yesterday,. Yi: " e amendment of Mr. Courts, of Rocking hamto the Engrossed Preamble and Resolution fom tho Senate, making an appropriation of $10,000 out ofthe Public Treasury for the purpose of equip i piug and paying the expenses of the Volunteer Reg - iment, called for by tire President, to Wilmington and Charlotte.' Mr. Wilder, of Wake being entitled to the floor, rose and said he did not intend to make a Speech a- gainst the Preamble,-.as his friends, Messrs, Courts ' and McMuIlen, had bono over the whole grounds, I and he merely wished to enter his dissent. Notwith atanding this assertion, he consumed over three i quarters of an hour in denoTroduig the Preamble and advocating the course of the President. . He was foUowed by Mr. A. Bathes, of North stmpton, who spoke at length in favor of the Engross ed Preamble and Resolution, He said the charges fthe opposite side that the Whigs had given "aid and comfort to the enemy,"' did not originate with them, but with the President, and he proved eonclu A rively that the charge was absurd and falsely con l ? ceived.; He said he bad never declared . this War io be unjust, but he believed it was uricbnstitutional . . ly brought-upon this country. He believed the an nexation of Texas to fh United State was nncon atitutional;'but after she had become one of our con- gierdcyvhe had the right to elaim our protection. contended the President had no right to take i j4 iotsessioa-of the disputed Territory territory de- r, clared to be in dispute by Congress." He said tve t had an imnortant battle to ficrht at heme as veil as in Mexico to defend the Constitutfoifbf the United States' and repel the freouent assaults made upon it He said the Whigs nad nothing to fear from the adoption of this PTCAmble; for they could rely on the consciousness of bavins? done rurht. 1 He was followed by Mr. Smith, of . Oranee, who delivered a long: Speeds in defenee of the action of h JLxecQtive, and against the Preamble. - v Mr. Paine, of Chowan, next took the floor, and inade a neat and strong Speech in favor of the Pre amble, carefully reviewing the argumnts,preeniea by the" opposite party, at the conclusion of Which, the . VLoxtts. took a rtccsi uatu 3 "clock tin the evening, the discussion ras resumed Mr! NeAi, ot Rockingham, made a long and labored ipech ia defence of the President, and.in justifica tion of the War. ' ' . He was followed by Mr. Waddell, of Chatham, who made a few remarks and related an. incident, hich occurred during the days of the Revolution, illustrative. of the positioii of the Democrats in the HouSe. During the Revolution, there was situated in this State a certain "Dogwood Tree,"' oa : Which th4 Tories were in the habit of hanging "Whiirs whenever they were caught. Orfte day Capt. Cleave- land, who had & small company of patriots, caught one of those Tories, who had been committing so I many outrages upon the WhigSj and hadhim taken 1 to this same "Dogwood Tree" where,'after he made all kinds of protestations and crie&ffor mercy, he was doomed to expiate his crime. He said the Democrats in Congress had. erected a t: Dogwood Tree," on retaliate upon them. Mt. Hall, of iNew Hanover, spoke against the Preamble. He was followed by Mr. "Walser, whd made a good' Speech, as he always does, in favor of the Preamble and Resolution. . Mr. Brogden, of Wayne, next took the floor, and attempted to prove that lianiel Webster was anti American in his principles. Mr. Rayuer, of Hertford followed, and made a powerful and eloquent" Speech in defence Ofthe Preamble; at the conclusion of which, Mr. Fleinming, of Yancy; took the floor and talked for about tbrce hoars occasionally giving way tor a motion to adjourn. About 10 o'clock, amidst a scene of great confusion, the House adjourned until to-morrow morning 10 o'clock. SENATE. Saturday, January, 9, 1847. r Mr. Patterson, from the Committee on Internal Improvement, to vLom was referred a memorial of sundry Citizens , of the Counties of Caldwell and Ashe, praying aid from the State to open a Road from the Jl'own of Lenoir, in Caldwell County, to the Tennessee line, reported a Bill to carry out the prayer of the petionersj which passed first reading. Mr. Patterson also introduced a Bill to alter the time of holding two ofthe County Courts .of Cald well County ; which passed first reading.

In the House, this morning, after the jeports Of rthe different Committees were received, the House took up the Bill to lay off a new County, by the name of " Alexander," out of the Counties of Wilkes, Ire dell and Caldwell ; which was read the second time and passed by the foilowisg vote Yeas 57, Nay&42. - The House then proceeded to the consideration ox the unfinished business of yesterday, viz : uit a mendsaents offered to th. Engrossed Resolution from the Senate, providing for the equipping and paying the expenses of the Volunteers to Wilmington and Charlotte." All the amendment? ottered to this Re solution were voted down, by a strict party vote. After the Democrats had exhausted their " amend ment Storehouse" the question recurred on the pas sage ofthe Engrossed Resolution its third reading. Mr Wilder, ot Wake,, aenmnded a division ot the question under the 27th Rule of Order, and moved that the question be put first on the Preamble, and secondly on the Resolution, x he fepcaker decided that the question was not divisible, and cited Irom the Chair sundry precedents and decisions from the British Parliament and from Jefferson's Manual, as authority on the subject. From this decision of the Speaker, Mr. Wilder took an appeal to the Housed and the Question -onaii me decision oi ine narr stand as the judgment ofthe House?" wasdecided in the affirmative!

Mr. Edoor : I sco that the two Regiments of this County met in Raleigh on the 28 th of December, to ascertain how many were disposed to volunteer for the War, unless sooner discharged. And . though both Regiments were very ftilly represented, there were only some twelve or fifteen persons who made a tender of their services, it is well known, JVlr. Editor, that there is a large majority ef Democrats in this County, and nothing was more popular with them, two years ago. than the Annexation of Texas to the United States.-.When the Whigs told them that they thought it bad policy, especially at the time proposed by them, antf tofd them what would be the result, if it was ann sxed novo that there would certainly be.wai- they hooted atUhe prediction, and said it was all a Whig humbug Now is tbethne, they said, whilst we can get her on good terms. Those terms, it turns out, are a very expensive war; and they have been called on to tender their services for . the accomplishment of what they bo strongly ad vocated, and to my astonishment, there are but few in this County, that are willing to volunteer.

BARNES' SPEECH. .We invite the attention of the reader, to the beau tifurty chaste and patriot iyopfeeck -AIr contained in this paper. ,: n?" We are gratified to state that the Bill, giving authority to the Petersburg Rail Road Company, to subscribe $500,000 to the extension of our Rail Roads, , South, has passed the Senate, and will, in all proba bility, pass the Commons. "AID AND COMFORT." We are truly gratified to announce, that the Wfng Preamble and Resolutioirjappropriating $10,000 for the equipment and maintenance of our Volunteer Regiment, have passed both Houses, and been duly ratified. The Locos endeavored to stave off the vote, by talking against time professing great willing ness to vote for the" appropriation, and yet trying to prevent a vote being taken upon it. As is -always the case, where there is a lack of argument the Lo cos dealt damnation round the land, on all they deem'd their foe." They threatened, that if ever they got into power again, (hardly a supposable case,) that they would expunge this Preamble, and draw black lines around it, and yet, they have sworn at this very Session, to support the Constitution, which requires them to keep a Journal of their Proceed ings.'! Long, before, they can have an opportunity of mutilating the Journal, they haye sworn to keep, Mr. Polk will be consigned to that oblivion, whence he can never emerge Ey" Among the names of "the Legislator?, who have volunteered for Mexico, as given by the "Stan dard," we do not see that of Mr. Halset. the faith ful Senator from the good Whig District of Wash' offer his services to the country, and it modesty be a criterion of valor, we doubt not, he will prove him self a Soldier good and true, whenever and wherev er, a fitting field of fight is found ; OUR VOLUNTEER REGIMENT. . ' The Regiment ordered from this State, is fast fill- 111 Yj mmy. pletL Since our last, Wayne haa: duly reported a Com pany, and her Officers have been commissioned. They, are, probably, in Wilmington, by this time. Cabarrus and Yancy Counties have raised com-r plete Companies, and, in Mecklenburg, the" enrol ment is so nearly completed, that Officers have been elected. . Green W. Caldwell, Eq., Superintcndant of the Mint, has been elected Captain. The Rowan Company, under -Capt. Long, have, ere this, arrived at Charlotte, fhieifcplacc of Rendez vous. , y The Edgecomb Company had already arrived at Wilmington ; and attempts are making to raise ano ther Company. . In Orange. Capt. Cameron has succeeded in rais ing 50 men, and will, probably, either in that, or some adjacent County, obtain the requisite number to form a Company. In this County, (Wake.) we have just heard, that about 50 Volunteers have been enrolled " While these patriotic Whigs are discussing that Resolution, (appropriating $10,000) at their comfort able ease in Raleigh, the Companies tor whom they affect good feeling, may get to the places of Rendez vous, and subsist as they can. 1 his is the patriot ism of Federal Whiggery, in the North Carolina Legislature. Salisbury Journal, We copy the foregoing libel from the Loco Foco paper at Salisbury. The exact reverse of its state ment is the truth. The Whigs endeavored to force the Resolution through, but the Locos would not permit them. Speech after Speech was made, and each so increased in virulence and abuse, that the Whigs were compelled to change their determina tion not to speak, and to repel the slanderous as saults made upon them. On Friday night, the" Whigs were resolved to force it through, in or der that the Governor might avail himself of the Mails for the West and Wilmington (Sunday and Monday) to transmit the thousand dollars designed for each Company,' and we know that it was his Ex cellency's intention to have done so. But, on thar" night, at 10 o'clock, the Locos declared tkevoteshould not be taken, if to prevent it, they had to speak all night ! The Whigs finding themselves powerless, for under our rules, one nindy man can keep the House from taking "any qaestion, as long as he can utter nonsense, agreed to an adjournment, on the express understanding that the vote should be taken at a reasonable hour the next day. But instead of -. w fulfilling this pledge, the Locos- continued to talk, and offer amendments, for the mere purpose of em barrassing the House, until 6 o'clock on Saturday nitrhL when the main Question was Dut "Shall the O 7 j Preamble and Resolution pass their second reading V) And then, after all their violence and abuse, all their waste of time and money, only nineteen Locos recor ded their votes against the Appropriation.. LIEUTENANT GENERAL. The Committee, to whom was referred, the recom mendation of President Polk, to create a new Milij tary Official, to be styled Lieutenant General, haf asked to be discharged from the consideration of the subject. This is a very genteel rebuke to MrPotk, for his attempt at King-making, in Our Republican country. The matter was subsequently reoonsidexy ed. but no fine expects it to pass. CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE I DEAF AND DUMB. We lire happy to announce, that there will be a Vocal and Instrumental Concert, held in the Pres byterian Church, on Wednesday evening, the 13th inst. under, the conduct of Mr. Wa. D. Cooke,- with a select number of Singers and Players. We would be glad to make such an announcement every month in the year, and .every week during the Winter.

' SINGULAR BLUNDER. ; The "Fayetteville North-Carolinian" states that the Resolution of thanks td the North-Carolinians who were in the Battle of Monterey, recently passed by our Legislature, mistakes not only the days on, but the month in which, thaBattle Oequrred. The Resolutions say the-19th.: 20th and 21st October wA6xeaisftould MJ4JSJ4.v2?d and 23d Septem FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. "The " Picayune, ' of New Orleans, under date of Jimuary 2, 1S47, states that it leams,by arrivals the day before, from Tampico. via Brazos Santiago, that an Express from Gen. W orth, at Saltillo, arrived at Monterey on Wednesday, the ICth of Deeember. 1 brought the news that Gen. Worth had learned through his spies that Santa Anna was within three day's toarch of Saltil o, at the head of an army of twenty or thirty thousand men. The express bore a call upon Gen. Taylorjfur reinforcements. General Taylor and his staff h4d left Monterey on the 15th ult. the d.ay before the express arrived for Victo ria, to join his command, which was two days' march in advance of him. Messengers were despatched af ter him. If this news be true, and it was fully be lieved at the Brazos, it is highly important.

"notice an article iu the "Wilmington Commercial," written by the Senior Lditor ot that paper irora this City, in which' an ungenerous and unkind allusion is made to Mr. Rayuer, of Hertford. It is true Mr. Ra'yner s name is not mentioned, but the allusion is so pointed, that no one can fail to see for whom it is intended. - The writer insinuates that Mr. Rayner is electioneering for the next nomination for Gover nor. Now, so far from this being the truth, it is well known here, among Mr. Ravner's friends, and, indeed, to gentlemen of Wilmington, that he has dis couraged the idea of his nomination for that office that he has said, on. many occasions, he could not be a candidate, and mat he has been endeavoring to di rect public attentionvto other persons for that station.

Our business prospects for the current year, are ofthe most encouraging character; and although at present, trade generally is vary inactive, yet, in a bout a month or six weeks, a revival in every depart ment thereof is confidently looked for The recent heavy experts of breadstuffs to England and the Con tinent, have drawn to our shores a vast amount of specie ; so that money will be most abundant, unless, indeed, the real and anticipated demands ottbe Lro vernment should create a tightness in the market. Until the War with Mexico be brought to a close, it cannot be questioned that the financial affairs ot the country must remain in an unsettled and deran ged condition a state of things, the odious S ub Trea sury system, and the" reduction of the Tariff of 1842, aro not calculated to modily.
