Edwards, rreswent oi ine Convention of the people oi JNortn Carolina: . Sir- The President of the Confederate States of America has received with great pleasure your letter of the 25th instant, communicating the ac tion of vour Convention, in relation to the exist- bv whom said resolution was offered..' Mr. Badger, of oourse, cannot appreciate the feel ing, but we can assure. him, that sialed s we are towards Mr. Holden, we are utterly incapable of the petty malignity of offering him a slight in the contemptible manner at tributed to- us by MY. B. Mrl Badger, no doubt, judges others by himself, and because he would be capable of and rejoice in Jan op portunity for the exhibition of petty small potato malignity, be supposes -others to be .wfc himlf. - As far as we are concerned, we ean assure him he is Tery much mistaken. He is entirely at liberty to sig naliaehia supcrserriceable teal as a satellite of Mr. Holden in any way, sate at our ex pense. When, bowerer, he tries to do so at cur expense, we shall gite him the rebuke which be deserrcs. He may not know it, but it is a rule- of printers to follow copy. Had the copy of Mr. Uolden's resolution fur nished us stated by whom it was introduced, it would bate so appeared. SeTeral resolu tions have been sent to this office minus the names of the gentlemen introducing them, and hate been printed just as were the reso lutions of Mr. Holden; but none orhe au thors of said resolutions bare, as yet, as far as we bate heard, complained for themselves, nor hare they had, like Mr. Holden, a super serviceable friend to complain for them. In conclusion, to fchow that we are'eapable of doing good to those who despitefully use us, we seriously advise Judge Badger to re-" sign hia'seatin the Contention. He carried some reputationinto that body, but cannot pceeibly bring any out of it, except that of a very unenviable description.. He has no earthly weight in the body, is regarded as factious, trouble some, and demagoguieal and constantly makes members think of the line, ' " Superfluous, lingers the veteran on the stage." ; i THE EXISTING LEGISLATURE. We beliereiUat there is a general opinion that the'exieting Legislature of this State konia not aWn assemble. The fact seems to be realised almost universally, that if re assembled, it will not only inflict a dead loss " on the State of some five hundred and fifty dollars a day while it sits, but jass all sorts of bills which the ConTention will have rea- son to revise, modify, or repeal, and thus double trouble, and double expense, will be . "encountered. - The following few lines from the Western Democrat show how the wind sits in that quarter : Tn.r.TT.

The Vandals are carrying out their dia bolical threats at Alexandria.. Unbridled license rules the hour. 8tores and prirate houses have been broken into and pillaged, ' respectable females have been outraged, and it is a common thing to see the Vandal ofiT cers and soldiers walking the streets with black: wenches hanging on their arms. Well ! a day of retribution awaits these accursed scoundrels. A just God will bring them to a terrible reckoning. 1 . A VALUABLE SUGGESTION. The following communication makes a val uable suggestion : " ! Mb. St me : Dear Sir ll has been suggested to me, by lady, that if all the ladies m ue Southern Stair were to begin now, and male the old negro women on the plantation knit course socks, a large supply might be got ready, if we should have a winter campaign. On every plan tation in the South there is a large amount of labor, which is of very little real value, and directing it into this channel, a want which will surely arise will be met. A paragraph from you woul4 caU aUeeUoa to 1U . L Toon, J. IX ions in arms, ment," then we no prophet.. Pursuant to a notice in our last issue, a meeting wss held hastily, in the Commons Hall, on Tuesday night last, the object of which was to raise funds to relieve the present wants of Cap tain Johnson's men. Owing to the very brief notice given, the meeting was a small one, but it was certainly composed of men with large hearU, as the result goes to show. Hon. David S.Rd wascalled totheChair and briefly-explained the object of the meeting. The lion's. K. Rayner, Jas. W. Osborne.T. I Clingman, N. W. Woodfin'and D. M. Barringer, oeing severally called for, entertained the audience briefly in the happiest and. most eloquent manner. Patriot hearts were touched, patriot bosoms swelled, and u the excitement culminated, the hand of each patriot present was seen to tiu deeply" into the recesses of his own pocket, therein differing M- ly from "Northern Patriots." who finaitmucu more to their tastes to put their hands into other peoples pockets.'

" xo'lt The sixth company has been formed, but have not elected officers. COMPANY DISMISSED. When the vote was taken on the ordinance of Amnion bv "the 'military at Portsmouth, Ye., one entireyrompany, composed of men from the North, who formerly obtained their subsistence from work in the Navy !Yard near that point, voted against that ordinance in a body. As soon as that vote was announced, CoL;Koger A. Pryor, who was in command of the Regiment to which this company belonged, reported to the General in command that;he did not think they were fit soldiers Cor the service of Virginia at tnia crisis oi her affairs, and being authorized by the General, the next day be had the whole regiment formed Into line, gave the order for this anti-seffession company to march eight paces to the front, and commanded them to ground their, arms, when they, after a sharp lecture from the Colonel, were dismissed from the service. Some of them after wards begged, with tears in.the,reyes, to be taken back into servicebut CoL Pryor very properly re fused to accept them. Out of 3,700 votes cast in Richmond, all were for theordinance of secession except tour, and two of these have been proved to nave oeen giv j one man, and be not entitled to a vote. The ras cal is under arrest, and will be dealt with accord ing to his deserts. . HARDEE'S TACTICS. We learn from the Richmond Dispatch that Messrs.
