A to the nature of the charges now brought against hia administration of affairs, by the Opposition Press, he Jimk much comfort in the thought that rhey are so (rifling. a to sfTord a atroni evidence that none of any magnitude can be made. In refer euce Jo. ih priucipal trcasaiions that he has made u-rless outlays of money about the Exerative mansion thereby squander ing Ihe poblie fund, he showed conclu sively tint not a dollar haa been unnere sarily expended, and that, in fart, he had user! but a itte nturr than one lAfrrfof the tarn deemed requisite by a Committee of the Legislature, on which there wer two leading Democrats.

Gcktlkmch: Ii has been sggetrd lo me. at Adjutant General of the Slate of North Carolina, that I ahould reiontmend to your favorable consideration the hold of a Convention in the City of Kaleigh, for the purpose of recummcndilig to the j Legislature some plan, by wd'n h the rode !f(ir the reru.ation of the Miliiia of our Stale may be improtrdt and, it ia with the greatest pleasure that I accord with the proposition.,. It is well known to every commanding Officer of our Militia, that the system, s it now stand, i to imperfect, that- it i impossible tha' any perfect! n can ever be arrived al in the discipline of soldier. It it also well known, that the Lawa for hol ding Courts Martial so clash, that we are not able to Iry an OlhVer for the nffenres that he should be tried for and there arc many other imperfections lhat might be enumerated. I would tlerrefore recommend, that a Convention should be held for ihe purpose of correcting these eirors, on the 4th uf July, f the present year. I would also recommend that all the Major Generals and Brigadier Generals in command, in theSjate, be made Deleeatra In said Convention; anil that each Regi ment in the Slate should send three or four D -legale toaaid Convention) and that those Delegates should be selected with an eye-siiigl to their Military qua ificatioos. II has been suggested, that all 'he Del 'galea to the Convention should appear in Uniform whilat in session, Thia,. howev er, being a matter to be settled by the Convention. I leave it entirely to the op tion of the Delegates. Mv reason for not rerommeoding the Convention to be held in ihe (Jin fr in of the Slate, is thai the Uniform of N. Carolioa ia the ssme as ihst of ihe United Statet, and there it a probability that there will be a different Uniform adopted for the .State. Very respectfully, vour obedient servant. R. W. HAYWOOD; Adj. Gen. N. M t7" All Editor, friendly to the objects of ihe proposed Convention, will doubt- Iras confer a leavoi on the public, by givl ing the above an insertion. We hive not attempted to make our readers acquainted with the merita of a controversy now coin on in the cilv of New York concerning its municipal gov ernment, because 1t is a complicated affair, in which our readers would not be, likely lo take much inter. St. But it is a fact that such a rontrorrsv rxista, owing tit an attempt in deprive ihe Whigs (bv fraud it is alleged) of the ascendanct by them at ihe late election for Metnbera of the City Uouncil. Ilis to this controversy thai the Stw York Erprtti alludes in Ihe fol lowing pregnant paragraphs: A'ol. Int. "To the public heVe, who understand. snd can therefore translate, the acts Ihe politicians of this metropolis, it ia not necessary to make a word of comment upon three doings of the ultra Lorofoco ism of Tammany Hall, but it is often ne cessary, though to translate thrm for Ihe People ifJ tie country. I he Lorofocb leaders of the Tammany Hall, than, rare nothing for Rhode Island hut lo make political capital out of her lor home consumption here. They have usurped the government of our city with out rhyme or reason, and they wish to sanction the principle at the expense of Khode Island, where there are both rhyme and reason for . change. If revolution can by public sympathy be proved right there, revolation can, without public sym pathy, be made jight here. There oil ihe inijority argument, they would change the Government: here, in tpite ol the major ity, they keep it. "Thie one reason why Locofocoism here just now lakes so much interest in Rhode Islandi but another is, th belief that thef can identify the Whigs with the anti suf frsxe prinrip'e every where.

Mr. Gilliam's determi.taiioil to retire front public life haa long been fixed. nd wa made known to the public at the laic whig meeting, 'llii determination hi friends hoped to have shaken, and lie was a gain ticketed on the list of whig candidate for ihe next Legislature. 'After giving the subject mature consideration, he still nods himself constrained to keep his resolution unaltered and communicates the fact in the letter below. The necessity' which Impels htm to snch a coutse, which deprives the party of the services of one of its most able and efficient defenders, and which drives from the councils of the State, one of her most patriotic, enlightened, arid ' honest statesmen, must occasion unaffected and pro found regret. On retiring Mr. G. cau truly say he has "done ihe State some service, but being vet in the pride of vounir man hood, with his mtnd scarcely yet fully ma tured, it was not unreasonable to expect much more from his zeal and abilities, fbf the future. Asa whig he has deservedly ranked among the most powerful champions of the sacred principles of dtat par y; has gathered laurels from more than one well fought battle, and "many a time and oft" have the stubborn foe men been compelled lo acknowledge the force olhis stalwart arm. As a politician he has been uniformly con sistent, zealous nud honest: securing the es teem of his party by his faithful adhen nce to their principle, and the respect of his en emies by his fairness, candour and rectitude of purpose. A a statesman, the high rank which he held is evidenced by the Mattering manner in which he wa advanced to the distinguished post of Speaker of the House of Commons. Yet however all may regret the necessity which compels Mr. G. to re tire, we have no right lo complain, and can not in conscience, after the conclusive rea sons given by him, insist upon hiii remain ing in public life. He retire, followed by the affections of numerous friends, whom his many virtues have 'won, and the univer sal esteem and confidence of his fellow cit izens.
