B. Vance for Governor, and for the further purpose of giving the present in competent incumbent a clerk. .Strange to say, while the investigating committee report that Mr. Page left the office . in good condi tion, they recommend that the present in cumbent be allowed a clerk at a salary of 600 a year during the war. , Now, as Mr. Page, who had no clerk and never asked for in good order, is it not proof positive that a competent Secretary has no need of a olerk, and that the proposition to fuifnish tbe office with a clerk now is an admission that Mr. Page's . successor is not competent to disoharge the duties of the of- fice ?

North Carolina, and if is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That upon application for. the writ of habeas corpus, if the case staled in the petition shall show that ads equate relief may not be afforded by directing tbe writ to the person detaining another in his custo dy, in every such case it shall be lawful for the Judge granting the writ, to direct the same to tbe ' sheriff of any county where such detention may ' occur, commanding him to take thfl body of him who fe obliged to be detained, and have the same present on tbe return of the writ,' and to summon tbe party alleged to.be guilty of the detention, to appear at the time and place of said return, and show the cause of detention. Sic. 2. That when any person shall have been dischaVged out of custody by a J udge, on a writ .of habeas corpus, and shall be arrested and de tained upon the same cause on which be wat dis charged as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of the Judge to itsuo a writ commanding the sheriff of the county where the detention may occur, to ' taVe the body of the person so detained, and bring the sameiefore him, or some otner J udge Having jurisdiction, when such former discharge appear ing, the terson detained shall be forlnwitn dis charged ; and if it appear that such second arrest and detention was made illegally, and witn know ledge of the former discharge, the party offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and nned. and imprisoned at the discretion cf the court. Sec. 3. That any person guilty of making a Mm tPlnrn tn nr writ of habeas eormis. hall tecuiltv of ahieh misdemeanor, and shall be fined and imprisoned at the' discretion of the court. There are some three or four hundred sus- . pected persons from different, States now in confinement at Salisbury ," and . we suppose, after being well elothed at the expense of the . State by their considerate "Conservative" friends, who have entirely neglected our own soldiers in the field, they will' sue ' out writs of habeas corpus, have themselves disoharged from 'custody, and snap their fingers at Pres ident Davis and the Confederate Congress. It is true that the Confederate officers having these prisoners in charge may according to orders,1 refuse obedience to the writ, and de cline to give np the prisoners to the Sheriff;. Bat what of that ? .The Sheriff will summon his posse, and submit the question, to .the ar- 'bitramqnt of a figfit with the Confederate officers, and thus "Conservatism" will attain its fong-cherishedaim of forcing. thV State into a hostile collision with the Confederate Government. Mnch to .the disgrunt lemcnt of the "Conservatives," the Rev. Mr. Graves ton. Respectfully, your obd't serv't, I J. P. BENJAMItt, 1 -j , : Secretary of State. seems now that Virginia has become tired of her reserved force, and desires the Confederate Government to take it off her hands. Vir ginia has discovered that it not only does not pay , but has proved to be very , expen sive. The reply of the Secretary of War to the Committee, shows that if the Confede rate Government should accept the Virginia line, Virginia must shoulder all the expense of arming and equipping them, just as North Carolina would have been' compelled to do had she raised her Ten Regiments and ten dered them to tlje Confederate Government. The reply of the Secretary; too; shows that the Virginia line, and any other line of State troops, could only be received in companies, battalions or regiments, and in no "superior organization," as was proposed by the " Ten Regiment Bill." The reply further shows that when the State reserve is accepted, it on General Martin. He knows that General Martin is a thoroughly competent man for the post, as is admitted by his enemies, who, while depreciating bis merits in the field, ad mit his entire competency in a Bureau. But we fear Gov. Vance will not have the pluck to appoint Gen. Martin, borne "Conserva tive." as fit for the post as a chicken-cock is for a sailor, wants the salary, and will get it.

Mobile, Feb. 10.- The New Orleans- Delta publishes the annexed order from Gen. Banks : New: Orleans. Jan. 29th. General Orders, No. 12. The following proclamation from the President of the United States, dated January 1st, 1863, is published for the information of the Government officers and soldiers of this command, and ail persona acting under their authority. It designapas those portions of the' State of Louisia na which are not to be effected by its provisions. The laws of the United States, however, forbid the officers of the army or navy to return slaves to their owners or to decide upon the claim of any person to the str.lee ox labor of another. The in-, evitable conditions of a state of war invariably deprives all classes of citizens of much absolute freedom of action and control of property, which loyal law and continued peace guarantee and se cure them. -The forcible seizure Of fugitives from service or labor by their owners is inconsistent with these laws and conditions of war.- - Officers and soldiers will not enwouxago or as sist slaves to leave their employers, butthey can not compel or authorize their return by force. Negroes who leave their employers will , be com pelled to support themselves and families by Ja bor upon the public works'.. -.1; ' 1 1- ? To secure tne objects Dotn ot capital ana laoor, .
