REVENUE BILL ON ITS THIRD REAPING.
Mr. Shepherd, from theFinance Committee, re-
norted back the revenue -bill. Me stated tnat In
the original bill all slaves were valued at $350,
except mechanics, and they were valued at $t50,
but this was struck out by tne benate and tne
slaves were valued in classes, and there was no
probability of the Senate agreeing to any other
mode. There was offered an amendment-by the
Tfc-.f WoV rJr. cZ;iTr VniT, 3 1 statement of the number of .volunteers and con
mittee that local assessors should be appointed I , . u. Kaa ;n ,va f m;
num
for a new valuation of slaves and lands. The
committee also offered new sections, providing
that valuation should take place from the 1st of
January in each year, instead of April, as hereto
fore, and thus have the taxes levied iqr one year, .
and not valued in one year and levied in the next
as at present. The question was whether the j
House would agree that the Legislature should
tax the slaves in classes or whether it should be
done by local assessors. He thought the average
varua of slaves in ine diu w samer ww, wbdw
ering the present Circumstances of the State.
A debate ensued on tne ijigut u yry privy u
taxing slaves on a valuation fixed by the Legisla
ture Meeers. Amis and Foy against the proposi
tion, and Messrs. Cobb and: Hams, of Chatham,
in favor offit. , - . .
xr, nnwlfia offered ani amendment that the
county court appoint three Assessors in each Cap
tain's District, whq shall value the slaves therein
in classes, except mechanics, accorumg vu
aee and return the same within ten days to the
county court clerk, who shall transmit said r
turns to the Treasuer of the State. The Treasu
rer and Comptroller shall then strike an average
value in each class from all these returns which
shalf be sent to thesheriffs.of the several counties.
Messrs. Fleming and Pejson spoke against the
amendment and in favor of local assessors.

GOVXRNOE OF TH STATS Of, NoATH CaAOUXA.
Whereas, it has been made JtnewA to me that a
large number of soldiers from our armies are Absent
from tlretr colors withiout proper leave, io- this the
hbur of our greatest need and it beiaji eeaadently
believed that a large majority of such arere impelled
to this course by a natural and almost irresistihle
esire to see their homes .and families ones more Af
ter eo long an absentee and not because ef A coward- '
ly determination te leave their brave comrades to
share all the dangers and hardships of thefisld.alon;
and whereas,; Maj. Gen. G. W. Smith, in oommaad of
the Department of North Carolina, by eensent f -the
Secretary of jWar, has! published, an order declaring
that alt who may "voluntarily return to duty by the
lutn day 01 prehmazyj next, shall be received into
their several commands with no other punishment
than a forfeiture of their pay for the time they have
been so absent without leave : and declaring farther
-that all who do not so return by the said 10th day of
February, shall, when (apprehended, be tried fer de
sertion, and upon -conviction, be made to suffer death:
No wV therefore, Lj ZEBULON B. VANCE, Govern
or of the State pf North -Carolina, de issue this ay
proclamation to all soldiers from this State, serving
in the armies' of the Confederacy, who are now ille
gally absent from . their colors, commanding, thesa te
return to duty with their comrades, and exhorting
them to avail themselves of this opportunity '-of sav
ing their friends from , the disgrace and infamy, whloh
will cling forever to the name of a deserter from his
country's cause, and themselves from s felea'a Aeath.
Many, after carrying their .country's flag in triumph
through various bloody conflicts, and making them
selves a name of which their children's children-might
have been justly proud, have forfeited it all by ab
senting themselves at a moment when their own State
is invaded and about to be desolated by a brutal half
savage foe. Now is the time to re-Instate themselves,
by a prompt return to-duty 1 appeal to then to
st and by theiir. country yet a little longer, and not te
sully by desertion the. bright and glorious reputation
ef the State, which they have helped i .tot win4A
hundred hard-fought fields ; And I appeal tq all good
and loyal citiiens throughout fhe State togivethsii t
influence to induce these men to return. .. Let no ynev
unmoved by tliis appeal to patriotism and honOrvsup
pose that he can remain at home with impunity ; th
full power of the State authorities, aidadif need he
by the Confederacy, Shall be put hi force to' Arrest
him and bring him to I punishment after the 10th day '
of February next, and there shall be no rest sfof -the 1
deserter in the borders of Nerth Carolina And let .
none exouie-their desertion by declaring that they go .
home to take care of their families ; they widW Add
nothing to the comforts of their, families by biding
like guilty men in the woods by day, and. h plundsr-..
ing their neighbors by night; they only bring .shame
and suffering upon (the heads of .the innocent, And
their little children, when gray headed old-seen, will
have the finger of soorfi pointed at them And the nit
ter taunt will ring m their ears, u Your father, skulked .
in the woods; to keep from fighting for his" -country." -
The State is. bow trylagjo provide food-for year
families, and each county is.msklng A sisailar re-f

that the wifW and child of the soldier Who is in the
