Officers and members of the Volunteer Compa-
nes of the State, will remember that a movement
of importance to their interests is at present
in contemplation and will soon be put into execu-
tion We refer to an adjourned meeting Of the Off
GERS of all the Uniformed Volunteer Companies of
the State to be held at Raleigh the first Monday
in December, to consult and advise the best
and most proper form of petitioning the pre-
sent Legislature to grant such privileges and immu-
mites to persons belonging to Uniformed Volunteer
Companies shall induce our citizens, and espe-
cally our young men, to give more of their time
and attention to military affairs than they at
present willing to do.
A meeting of this sort called at our State
Fair, but, owing to proper notice not having been
given, the attendance, although good was not SO
large those present desirous should be rep
resented We hope therefore, that all officers
will make effort to attend this convention, the
movement is fraught with interest to ALL and will,
no doubt be productive of good to the State at
large.
Officers desired to bring their Uniforms.

Naval Workshops on Deep River.

The following resolutions were introduced in the
Senate on Wednesday last by Maj. Gilmore, the
Senator from Cumberland. They will no doubt
pass both branches of the Legislature unanimously
The Senator from Cumberland prefaced their intro
duction with some remarks, setting forth the i'm
portance of the late commission appointed by the
general government to examine the Coalfelds and
expressed the opinion, founded on information as
full as could be properly obtained under the circum
stances that the report would be highly favorable
Now that the attention of the general government
was turned to North Carolina, and to the rich and
inexhaustible mineral deposites ON Deep River, he
though it incumbent on the Legislature and on all
our citizens to unite in the good work of develop
ing our resources in that quarter; believing as he
did that such development would eminently rebound
to the advancement and prosperity of the State
The resolutions are follows:
PROSECUTIONS APPROVING THE NAVAL COMMISSION OF
THE Q. S. APPOINTED EXAMINE THE COAL FIELDS,
AND OTHER PURPOSES.
Rtsolred unanimously, That the General Assem-
by of the State of North Carolina, hereby approve
the Naval Commission, by which the Coal Fields on
Deep River were recently examined by Com. Wilkes
and Others in reference to suitable location for
Government Machine Shops for the manufacture of
Machinery for the United States Navy.
Resoloed, further That should the report of said
Commissioners be favorable to said location, that
our Senators in Congress hereby instructed and
our Representatives requested, to use all proper
means for the speedy establishment of the same,
and press upon the attention of the government the
practicaBilty and advantages of establishing Ma
tional Foundry at the Coal Fields Deep River

Gov. Wise's Letter.

We publish this morning rather
singular and exceedingly ill-tmed let
ter trom Gov. Wise, OF Virginia, I'D
dressed to tho Tammany Society of y
Y. Wesrc eratiied 10 perceive thai, It
meets with decided aud emphatic dis
approval bv the almost entire South
EN- press, the Richmond Nhig, the
R:c..n ,n,l .S3g8, and even the Rich
mond EaYaircr, 'he Governors own
organ, conjenn,ng il in strong terms.
Speculation is rile as to the Governors
motives for writing such letter a
thi- inopportunc moment, when the
hands aud arms Of our friends in Com
grcss, both from the North and the
South, need encouraging support.
We do not err when we say that the
South is q Uni. on the subject Of the
i.ecompton Constitution, and it is not
in The power of Gov Wise, or any 9th
er a.pirant for The Presidency, to pro-
iuce dissension in the ranks Of the
Southern Democracy.
As an antidote to this degenerate
aud heterodoy letter Of Gov. Wise, we
send out in connection with il an ex-
celI-nt article from the New York
Heiuld on the same subject. 1t enun-
ciates the true policy for the South,
and particularly for the Southern
members in Congress, TO pursue. We
ask for it an attentive perusal.-Nsm-
