On motion of Mr. McKay the House proceed ed to consider a bill from tbe Senate for the re lief of landlords. Tbe bill was amended and passed its several readings. The hour having arrived for Ihe consideration . of the special order, theHouse proceeded to the consideration of the Revenue .bill. . A number of amendments, were proposed, some of which were concurred in. Ponding its consideration the following message was received from His Excellency, Gov. Vance : To the Honorable, the General Assembly of North Carolina : . With the flight -of time great events have oc curred and are now crowding upon us. Since your adjournment in December, the invaders of our State have concentrated a. large force upon our coast, and are again threatening our remain ing seaports and lines ot oommunicatioe. Every preparation possible has been made to resist them, and it is hoped not without success. Still much remains to be done to strengthen our army and add to its efficiency. I beg leave respectfully to offer a few suggestions to you on this subject. The most serious evils with which our generals have to contend are the inefficient execution of the concript law and tht alarming increase of de sertion in tbe army. A long absence from home and the severe hardships of our rapid and won derful campaigns' naturally tends to produce these effects during a protracted war. To arrest these delinquents and return them to duty, tbe militia have -heretofore been employed with some degree of success ; but latterly they have been found inefficient, owing to the many obstacles in terposed by the law. Should an officer start out to arrest a deserter, the friends of the latter have only to give the alarm and he is spirited out of the way, or' the officer is resisted by oped violenc. As desertion is not a crime known to the laws of this State, these persons who thus shield the de serter from arrest are liable to no punishment. The consequence is that numbers ol deserters are yuuvwm im.f , i j , i., tftbAjState,and band ing together for company and , mulllar pi v uouuuu j depredate upon the citizens near them, thus form ing a kind of outlawed population in the midst of our quiet and orderly .people. This state of things, ruinous alike to tbe dis cipline of our army and the morals of our people, ought not to be suffered to continue and might be prevented in my opinon by a little prudent leer- islation. With the consent of the highest mili tary authorities from- whose , commands they are absent, 1 propose to give absentees from the army 'without leave, by proclamation, thirty days in which they may return to duty free of punish ment, and after that time to make them liable for the delay, to the severest penalties of the law. To enable the authorities to effect their arrest, I recommend, as I had, the honor to do in my reg ular message to you,, that the militia laws be se amended as to subject both officers and privates of any particular company. or regiment of the militia to the articles of war, when ordered to perform any duty of this kind at tbe discretion of the Executive ; that power-be given the Exe cutive summarily to drop from theTelbi officers guilty of gross and wilful neglect of -duty, 'and that it be made a crime to shieklor harbor deser ters or to assist them to avoid capture; Should it be deemed best to continue to use the militia of the State for executing the Conscript law, tbe amendments willbe indespensable. as Congress hat failed in- these respects to provide for the en forcement of iu own acts. ! w.-. . I have been applied to in several instances as the appointing power of Jthe regimental oddrs of oar regiments raised oticrinally for three year or the war, to promote men for gallant and merit torious conduct, but on close examination of the law I find I have no authority to deviate from the regular order of promotion by seniority ia the appointment of company officers. - -. . . This power ought to reside somewhere the good of tbe service requires it. The humblest private in the ranks of the army joaeht , to feel that there-is the power and tbe will & lift him aoove tne en urn oie position .ta a 4 commissioned Officer, as a reward for eallaniry and heroism. I 1 therefore recommend that this authority be vest I ed in the Executive, to be exercised upon proper recommendations of commandinar offlcara in the- lew. ,. - .. . , .-. The subiect of arresting- citiaena en charges ol disloyalty I beg leaye again to allude to. Many have been recently taken up by the Coatederats) officers ; and with a spirit of courtesy, and respect for State authority, turned over to me for invea ligation. I am at a loss hww to dispose of them. I cannot examine them myself, and of coarse re gard it inconsistent with jay duty to set them at liberty without .an examination, and; J am ytt more unwilling to see them placed in the Confed erate prison at Salisbury where the track of the accused all lead la one direction end thej light of old English liberty is never a lUierefore rsr eommepd the esublUbing of a .cemisaiev.xer thaiaTeaUgaUoh oi char res agaiiut alltartt - eras with power, to commit for trial before the proper tribunal, If sufficient cause appears, $c. In' this . connection J, take great' pleasure in transmuting a1 letter "from Hon. Jas, 8. Seddon, Secretary of War, ia relation to the ease of VR. J. Graves, and in response to the demand for hit delivery to tin authority of this State, made iff obedience to ; a joint, resolution of your ' two Houses.

" . -- In vfew of the threatened invasion of the State, I have been advised by tbe War Depart ment, to call cut the militia to assist in repelling it Having consulted with the General !n com mand of this Department, I concluded to do sO but am at least doubful of my authorify to take the step, whiter your, body is in session. Not wishing to exercise any doubtful authority, when your presence and approbation may so easly make it certain, I most respectfully recommend that I be authorized' immediately to call out such por tions of the militia at may be deemed sufficient to -meet tbe present emergency. ! have the honor herewith to transmit copies of resolutions on various subjects, ot the Legis latures of the State of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, forwarded to me by their respective "Executives with -a request, that they would be laid; before you. Tbe most impof t&stt of the'se relates to the proposition of guarantee ing by ach State of its proportion of the Confed erate War debt, and to these I invite your early and deliberate. attention. I am also pleased to be able to inform you that the correspondence conducted by me with the War Department, at your request, in relation to the burning of cotton in Eastern North Carolina, was: entirely satisfactory, though for prudential reasons I thought it improper to make it public. Very respectfully, Z. B.VANCE. The message and accompanying docnmenls having been read, they were ordered to be sent to the S.ehate with a proposition to print.

A paper on re-vaccination was recently presented to the Academy of Medi cine at Paris, in the name of Dr. Vlemincks, one of its corresponding members. The author gives an account of the experiments instituted at liaud, by Dr. Denopole, with a view to ascertain the ad vantages arising from a repetition of vaccination at variouB periods of life. The results arrived at are that between tbe ages ol twenty and iorty re- vacci nation only takes effect upon four out of ona hundred Datients. while the proportion of those on whom it takes eneot between tne agea oi forty and sixty re 23 per cent.; and between the fiffes of sixty and seventy, 54 per cent.
