' T. -" nnn are the plant of fair delightful peace, Unwarp'd by party rage to lira like brothers., RAIiEIGH, C, WEDNESDAY MOBNINGj NOV. 13, 1861, TIIE STAY IAW AND TION PUT DOWff THE THE CONVEN-EXTOR- TIONISTS. Appeals Have been made to the Convention to repeal or modify the Stay Law enacted by the Legislature at its last session. The ques tion of a Stay Law is one environed with difficulty. ' It is manifest that if suits against debtors shall fre carried on as heretofore, a vast amount of property will be sacrificed, a vast number of men ruined, and compara tively a very few individuals enriched. Of the operations of those few individuals, some idea may be formed by looking at the grasping, monopolizing and extortionate spirit manifested in the speculations now going on upon the prime necessaries of life. A vast number of our people, too, are now absent from their homes on- the glorious errand of defending their country from the ruthless assaults of a vandal invader. Among these, it is reasonable to suppose that many are in debt, and it would be a sad spectacle to see .their property exposed to the Sheriff's ham mer and knocked down for a mere song to a ruthless creditor, who would still hold a bal ance against his unfortunate debtor. Another element, too, has ; lately entered into the consideration of the question of a Stay Law. We allude to the. Sequestration Law, or the law which puts the Confederate Government in the shoes of the Northern creditors, and invests it with all the rights of recovery by law which said creditors posses sejl. K vast number of the merchants of the Soiith are -indebted to the North, and if the Southern Confederacy sues for or collects these claims of the merchants, the latter must, in turn, sue their debtors, and thus vast amounts of property must be thrown into the market, and sold for next to nothing. These considerations render us averse to an absolute repeal of the Stay Law, and prompt us to appeal to the Convention so to modify it as to relieve it of some of its ob noxious features, while it will still afford some protection against ruin and distress to a large class in the State. That there is wisdom suf ficient in the -Convention to meet and settle this important question properly, we do not permit offrself to doubt. That the late Leg islature should have bungled the Stay Law is not at all surprising. , On the contrary, it would have been surprising, indeed, if it had not bungled it. But the Convention is made of another sort of stuff. : In it are some of the best heads and most honest hearts in this or any other State, and to them we look for such legislation as will, while it secures the creditor, protect the debtor from the risk of having his property sold at a fourth or fifth of its value. There is another subject to which we in vite the prompt and earnest attention of the . Convention. It is absolutely necessary that some legal means should be provided to put a stop to the operations of speculators in the necessaries, of life, and the people look to the Convention for the supply of these means. We have it on good authority that Salt, which cost in this place $7 per sack, is now held at $15 per sack. This enormous increase in the price of an article for which $2 per sack was not long ago considered a good price, will put up and keep up the price of bacon and corned beef. We take Salt as one of the articles of prime necessity. Other necessary articles have been speculated into double their value. An ordinance providing that on information filed before a J ustice of the "Peace, that an individual or individuals have monopolized Salt, or any other of the prime necessaries of life, and hold such article or articles for unrea sonable profit, said Justice of the Peace shall proceed to examine into the truth of said infor mation, and finding it to be correct, shall sum mon three disinterested freeholders whose duty it shall be to say, under oath, after the invoice of the article has been sworn to by the holder of it, what is a fair profit on it, would be of service We throw out this idea by way of suggesting something which may serve as a basis for the consideration of those who have jurisdiction in the premises. Public necessity requires, imperatively requires . legislation on this, sub ject, and it is seriously to be apprehended that if law does not furnish a remedy for this heartless speculation, we might almost say on life itself, a remedy outside of law will be resorted to. Most deeply shouldwe deprecate any action not; warranted by law, for when lawless proceedings once begin, and are coun r tenanced by any considerable number of the community, there ia no telling to what extent they will be carried. Let the Convention, then, take this subject promptly in hand and furnish a remedy for this most onerous evil. T Since the above was written, we learn that Salt has reached in this market the enormous sum ai Twenty Dollars per sack III We should be glad to know what this Salt cost its present holder or holders. SALT AND SOAP. We understand that a house in Petersburg is holding a large quantity of Salt which cost not more than $4 per sack at $15 per Back. and a large quantity of Soap at 18 cents per lb. which' cost them 4 cents per lb. Who are those thrifty jind patriotic gentlemen ? Will some of our former fellow-citizens of the Cockade tell U3 Z EXTO RTfON f BY SOUTHERN MAU-1 , .a !? FACTURERS. ; ; :f The Press is very properly denouncing the gross extortion practiced by the Southern Uotton iHanuiaeturers. v nne tne rawma terial has Taller in price, the manufactured arf tide has gone up most enormously. And why is this the case? Simply because these manufacturers have no competition in the mar ket, and charge what they please. Naw while we fully agree to the proposition that when peace returns and our independence ia acknowledged, our legislation should be sfich as will- prevent the recurrence of that dis graceful dependence on the North for articles which can be made in the South, whichpre ceded the war, it . is-, plain to see that, the course now pursued by Southern manufactu rers may, in the end, open our market to the competition of the Yankees. We should most deeply regret to see such a result, arid there fore, give a word of warning to Southern manufacturers not to continue a policy which may produce the belief that we have among us a set of men who. as far as lust for gain is concerned, are on a par with the Yan kees. Let not a course be pursued which will make any man in the South sigh for the products of Northern looms. While we say ihh, we utterly dissent from the proposition of the Wilmington Journal, that in conelud ing a treaty of peace with the Yankees we should put our future trade and intercourse with-them on the footing of that which we carry on with the most " favored nation." The policy suggested by Judge Perkins, of Louisiana, is the true policy for the South, to-wit : to have as little to do with the Yan kees as possible, and so to legislate as to keep them and their merchandize out of the South ern markets. The Yankees are a mischiev ous, meddlesome race. They never had, and never will have, any good feeling for the South, and will avail themselves of any safe opportunity which maybe presented in the future to do us what mischief they can. Unfortunately they are our next door neigh bors. Put while their is no getting rid of this evil, we may, most materially, mitigate it by putting them, in matters of trade and' commercial intercourse, as far off from us as if they were at the other end of the world. It is the interest of the South that the Yan kee Nation shall be as weak as possible. This is not either a vindictive or inhuman propo sition, but one simply of self-protection. Place the Yankees in a condition in which they can live, and barely live, and they will have no time to spare for the gratification of their meddlesome propensities, and no means of interfering with the affairs of their neigh bors. In this condition they must and will be'placed, unless greedy men in the South shall beget the impression that in getting rid of the goods, wares and merchandize of Yankee dom the South has reared a race of Yankees in her own midst. THE EXPEDITION FOR THE RECAP TURE OP H ATT ERAS. We publish to-day two articles from the Newbern Progress which eive the true ac count of the proceedings of ' the expedition under Col. Smgeltary for the recapture of Hatteras. These articles will be read with interest, vhile it must be conceded that Col. S. acted without authority, it will be ad mitted, on all hands, that zeal for our patriotic cause was his governing motive. Most for tunate was it for the Frenchmen that Col. Singeltary did sally forth on the expedition, for but for the gallant efforts of him and his men, every soul on board of the Corvette would have been lost, as the dastardly and brutal Yankees would not go to the relief of the vessel or rescue of the crew. DEPARTURE OF TROOPS, Capt. Hayes' fine company of Cavalry left here yesterday morning for Newbern. They were escorted down Fayetteville street by Col. R. B. Vance's Regiment of Infantry, and on parting at the foot of the street exchanged hearty cheers. A large number of troops, principally from Georgia, have recently passed here on their way to Virginia. ONE TRUTHFUL MA.N IN SODOM. It will be seen from the speech lately' made by Mr. -Chatfield in Tammany Hall, a which will be found in this naper. that there ) is one man in the Modern Sodom who can tell the truth. THIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Hon. A. H. Arrington has been elected to Congress from this District by a majority of upwards of. 1800 votes. He carried every county in the District but Warren, which gave a majority to Hon. A. W. Venable. THE CONVENTION A MISTAKE. By a mistake of the Printer we weie made to say that the State Convention would re assemble on the 15th, instead of Monday the 18th inst., as it should have been. THE STEAittElt WINSLOW. This vessel run aground in the Sound on the 8th inst., and to prevent her from falling into the hands of the Yankees, was fired and burned to the water's edge. A DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER. Friday next having been set apart as a Day of Fasting and Prayer in the Southern Confederacy, we presume all houses of bu siness will he closed on that day. , ; THE FIRST REGIMENT. This Regiment, having served out the time for which they volunteered, was disbanded at Weldon yesterday. The citizens of this place intended giving the Regiment a reception upon their ar rival here, but their being disbanded will prevent the object from being carried into effect.

Gardner, Major. THIRTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT N. C. T. The Thirty -seventh Regiment, in Camp at Hight Point, is now full, and will elect officers nest week. FROM CHARLOTTE. We take the following interesting items from the Charlotte Democrat of yesterday : Railroad Accident. A serious accident oc curred on the Charlotte and Statesville Railroad, somewhere near Davidson College, on Thursday last. The passenger train came in collision with some loaded platform cars which were standing on the track. The conductor, Mr. Faulkner, had one leg smashed so badly that amputation was necessary and a Mr McNeely , a passenger, who was standing on the platform, was so seriously in jured that he died soon after the accident occur red. No one else was injured. Prison Depot. We learn that the Confeder ate Government has purchased the Chambers' Factory property at Salisbury, for the purpose of using it as a place of confinement for Federal prisoners. Wm. Johnston, Esq., of this place, act ed fas the Agent of the Government in the trans action. The price paid was $15,000 in Confeder ate Bonrls. The property originally cost forty five or fifty thousand dollars. The buildings on the premises will accommodate, at present, about 600 prisoners, but they can be arranged so as to receive fifteen hundred or two thousand. Suicide. This community was shocked on Friday last to hear of the death by suicide of John W. Moore, Esq., who lived a few miles from town. He hung mmselt on Jmaay morning. The cause of the rash act is supposed to be pecu niary trouble, having involved himself by going another man's security. Me was always known as a man of excellent character and strict integri ty. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn the sad occurrence. It is stated that the crew of the privateer schooner Euchantress, tried in Philadelphia, have been round guilty 01 piracy. The xiincolmtes dare not execute judgment in accordance with such a verdict. If a single privateer is hung. President uavis stands pledged to retaliate by hanging Yankee prisoners. If he did not do 60, the people of the South, would execute swift ven geance against the first prisoners they could lay tneir nanus upon. Judge Humphreys, of theContederate Court et Memphis, has git en a liberal interpretation of the Sequestration Act in favor of debtors. They will be given all the time that debts may be stayed under the State laws, without security. And their personal sureties will not be demanded. but mortgages on real estate will be taken, or the debtor may deposite with some attorney, approved bylheUourt, personal assets, the collection of which may be presented by the debtor. Mbs. Lincoln's Connexions in the South ern Army. The Frankfort correspondent of tht Cincinnati Commercial says: The Hardin Helm who is reported to be mov ing down Green river with a force of from two to four thousand rebels, is a'son of ex-Gov. John L. Helm, lately President of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. This Helm's wife is a half sister of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln has a full brother, Dr. R. C. Todd, at Richmond, who had the honor of being jailor to old Abe's soldiers captured at Bull Run. Mrs. Lincoln has 1bo a brother, Samuel Todd, who is a Lieu tec ant in the rebel army in Virginia. She has also a half brother, Alexander, who is now in the South also hunting for his "rights." Two half sisters of Mrs. Lincoln are married to Southern gentle men, also Secessionist. The younger part of the family," until within a year past, resided on their farm five miles from this place. THE GREATiYANKEE FLEET. THE A TTA CK QNiFpRT R9f f '"TERRIBJiEFIGHTING- ' Capture of Forts Walker and Bay roim The following telegraphic dispatches to the Richmond papers will gi re our readers a correct idea of the fight at Port Royal, S. C, between our trnnm and the erreat Yankee Armada. It will be seen that Fort Walker and Bay Pdmt have fallen into the hands of the enemy ; Nor. 7. The steamer Resolute, 1 of the Confederate fleet, came up at eleven o'clock last night, to coal. Sfaebroughi correct parncu lara of the operations at Port Royal up to the hour of her departure. It appears that tne report 01 a . . 1 1 1 j .1 1 1 n Federal steamer Deing aisaoieu, uu wiumw uuo being aground, ia incorrect. On Monday afternoon Commodore latnail, with his little fleet, went within a mile of the Fed eral squadron, and engaged them for nearly an hour, until tney came wnnin reacu 01 me guu Port Royal, when he retired, and allowed the lat ter to open on them. The engagement lasted un til evening, with what result it ia impossible at present to ascertain. The Commodore again sallied out to a point about three-quarters of a mile from the enemy's fleet, when a fierce engagement of forty minutea ensued. The enemy fired rifle shot and shell, which fell about us in great profu sion. Two shots passed through the Savannah without serious damage to the vessel, and nobody on board was injured. Parties at Port Royal say that seven shots from our fleet took effect on the Federal vessels. The latter coming closer, our fleet retired. On yesterday all was quiet. It was reported, however, that the Federals were lending at Hun ting Island. About 7 o'clock last night firing was again heard at Port Royal, and warm work was anticipated. Augusta, Nov. 7, P. M. Special dispatches to the newsDapers of Augusta from Savannah, da ted to-day, state that heavy and rapid firing has beeri heard all the forenoon. A report from Beaufort, dated 10 o'clock this morning, states that a terrible ngnt is progress ing at Bay Point. The result is unknown. Savannah. Nov. 7.-8 o'clock, P. M. Seven Federal vessels passed the batteries at Bay Point this morning. After getting inside, they opened fire on Hilton Head. The batteries at the latter noint returned the fire. Several euns were dis mounted on our batteries. The result to the Fed eral vessels is unknown. The firing ceased at dark, but it is expected that the enemy will attempt a landing to-night, when warm work may be expected. 7, Savannah, Nov. 8. Fort Walker and Bay Point batteries were evacuated on yesterday af ternoon after a terrible contest, in which we lost 12 killed and 40 wounded. Our troops retreated after exhausting all our ammunition. We lost no prisoners. All of our guns were lost on the forts, and the Federal flag is now flying over our forts. Savannah, Nov. 8. P. M. The steamer Samp son has arrived here from Port Royal with the wounded. The engagement on yesterday was be tween Fort Walker and Bay Point batteries against fifteen vessels inside and several outs side. t Two hundred men were atJbort Walker and thirteen hundred outside on Hilton Head. The steamship Minnesota was the first to enter and was followed rapidly by others. The attack was from three sides, and after the second round from the fleet, the principal gun in our battery was" dismounted. The engagement lasted .five hours, and all the guns on the fort were dismounted, except two. As the forts were no longer tenable, the two re maining guns were dismounted, and the maga zine arranged to be blown up when the enemy entered. Dispatches to the Charleston papers say that our batteries worked badly, while the Federal's firing was excellent. INTERESTING SERVICES. Rev. John A. McMannen, giving an account of a visit to the camp of the Sixth, North Carolina Regiment of State troops on the Potomac, in the Hillsborough (N. C.) Recorder, thus speaks of the religious services in the camp and the baptism of of Col. W. D. Pender, commandant of the reg iment, by Rev. A.T.Porter, Rector of the Church of the Holy Communion at Charleston, and Chap lain in the Confederate Army : "The Colonel presented himself before the min ister with Major Benjamin Allston, of South Car olina, commanding the Fourth Alabama Regi ment, and Stephen D. Lee, YY ashington Artillery, Hampton's Legion, by his ngnt side as witnesses. Having responded in aclear voice to alltheques- tions asked, he knelt down at the feet of the min ister, with his hands folded on his breast, his eyes swimming with tears, and by Holy Baptism, (in presence of his Regiment,) made an open proies sion of the Religion ot Jesus, and was dedicated to the service of Almighty God. T must leave it for your readers to judge of that impressive scene. Truly, did the minister say, 'There is joy in the presence of tne holy an gels over one sinner that repenteth.' We felt it3 force and its power, when we looked round and saw a whole regiment in teats, and its noble lead er putting on the whole armor of Christ, that thus doubly clad he might lead them to victory over their earthly foes, and a glorious triumph over the last enemy. THE BIG GUNS OF THE SHIP PENN SYLVANIA. The Norfolk Day Book, of the -2d instant, says : We are glad to hear that they have gone to work to get the old ship Pennsylvania- up, or rather as much of the hull as is left of her. VTork men have been engaged on her for several days, getting up some ot her guns, in order to lighten her up as much as possible. Four guns have al ready been brought up and secured two 68's, one 42, and one 32 the latter bursted. The Penn sylvania had a large number on board, we believe, and if our late "respected Northern brethren" had not left us such a fine lot of these instruments in the Yard for "masked batteries," we should look upon the treasures on board the Pennsylva nia as a great boon, but, seeing we have so many of them, why, they are only as so much stock, that we can keep in store for future use ; but she has vast quantities of other valuable material on her that is just now in more immediate demand A MARYLAND HEROINE. The Richmond correspondent of the Nashville Utiionand American communicates the following interesting paragraph about a Southern heroine now in Richmond : A wif-inr 4 Vi n At. Vv? 1 i f ? tn 1 V. n 2i. j I Auivug vuo uuwuiuura ui m viiiv, mere is a Maryland heroine, young, pretty," wonderfully intelligent ana actomplished, who preserves the strictest incognito, and .is known even to her most intimate acquiantances only as Mademoi selle Nina. Small in person, almost fragile, she nas nevertheless the courage of a lioness. Her whole soul is bent on the liberation of Maryland, and were her deeds,tendingto this consummation, to be known, she could rank amonsr the most famous women of history. Alone, unaided, by routes known only to herself, she passes throueh the Confederate and Yankee lines, carrying hope to the oppressed and bringing material comforts for the free but exile sons of her native land. An Item Worth Noticino. A friend of sound practical sense and experience suggests, that to guard against many diseases Incident to camp life,, volunteers should put a Bmall quantity of tar say a large spoonful in their canteens. It has often been recommended as a preventive of chills and fevers, measles, etc., by physicians. The writer of this used it much, long ago, and after a day ar two it detract nothing from the taste of water. Try it. Petersburg Exprces.

The ene my's loss is from 400 to 500. ; General Grant is reported, killed. We re-eaptured nearly all' our men who had been taken prisoners. THE FIGHT IN MISSOURI. A HIGHLY INTERESTING ACCOUNT. Memphis, Nov. 8. An extra of the Appeal, to day K contains full accounts of a bloody and hard fought battle near Columbus yesterday. General Pillow's Brigade, 2.500 strong, composed of Tappan's Arkansas Regiment, and Freeman's, Wright's, and Pickett's Tennessee Regiments, en countered the enemy on the Missouri side, oppo site Columbus, early yesterday morning. The enemy's force was 7,000 siroug, and was comman ded by Maj. Gen. John A. McClemand, of Illi nois, assisted by Gen. Bowlin. Pillow's Brigade fought gallantly until their ammunition was ex hausted, when, overwhelmed by superior num bers, they retreated back to the river wiih heavy loss. On reaching the river bank they made a desperate stand, closing in with the enemy where ever that was possible, with their bayonets. Capt. Watson's battery was temporarily lost duriog the retreat of our troops. At this critical moment General Cheatham's Brigade, composed of Smith's and Russell's Tennessee Regiments, and Col. Mark's Louisiana Regiment, assisted by Gen. Polk and Blythe's Miisissippi Regiments, arrived and turned the fortunes of the day. They charged furiously upon the enemy, Jreiaking Watson's battery, and completely routing McClernand's entire force, pursuing them for a distance of seven miles to their boats, when they embarked in haste and ignominously fled. Two of the enemy s guns and large quantities of arms and ammunition, which they had thrown away in their flight, were captured. The road along which they went was strewn with coats, knapsacks, guns, etc, Gerr.' Cheatham took several prisoners with bis 'own hands. Gen. Bowlin wa3 made prisoner by the Rev. James Rogers, of Tennessee, who also took a stand of colors. f Col. Dougherty and Col. Beau fort are among theTjIncoln officers captured by our troops. The fighting was most desperate and terrific throughput the battle, which lasted nearly the whole day, having begun at 9 o'clock in the morning and ending only with dark. Our loss was less than two hundred killed and wounded, and about thirty made prisoners. Among the killed on our side were several gallant company ofSctors. Wright's, Russell's and Freeman's Reg iments of lennesseeans, suffered most severely. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is vari ously estimated at from five hundred to eight hun dred, besides a great number of prisoners taken. xue ooumern steamer n. u.

Thk Star-Spangled Banner. It is men tioned as a fact worthy of note, that every male descendant of the author of this song, (the "Star Spanglad Banner,") liable to military dutj, is now in the Confederate Army. At least fifteen members of the family are at this time in arms against the tyranny at Washington, and rightful ly claim that they are fighting for the principles to which that flag was originally dedicated.
