ORDNANCE OFFICE,
Washington, Dec. 10, 1859.

HoN. JOHN B. FLOYD, Sec'y Of Var
SIR: 1 have to acknowledge the reference to this
Office, for report of letter from the Governor of
North-C Carolina, desiring to procure from the United
States Government two thousand long-range rifles,
with bayonets attached, for the use of the State.
On this application have the honor to report that
the State of North Carolina has been supplied with
her entire quota. up to the end of this year, under
the law of April Odd, 1903, for arming the militia.
Consequently, any issue that may now be made, will
be in advance of quotas which may become due in
subsequent years. The law does not authorize any
issue in advance of quotas due, and the regulations,
established under the law by the President of the
United States, forbid such issues
The issue of arms, as desired by Gov. Ellis would
absorb the entire amount of the quotas to become
due to the State of NorthCarolna, under the exist
ing law for the next six years, and would preclude
the fulflmeut of acquisitions from any of the Gov
errors during that period.
The letter of Gov. Ellis is returned herewith.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
H. *. CRAIG, COL Of Ordnance.

Sensible.

The New York Times, a black Republican jour-
nal makes the following sensible observations OH the
state of the country:
"South Carolina has resolved oy by her delegates
as follows:
|. That it is the deliberate Judgment of this Gener-
al Assembly that the saveho!ding States should
immediately meet together to concert measures for
united action.
And D That the foregoing resolution be commu-
nicated by the Governor to all the Slavehoding
States, with the earnest relest of this State that
they will appoint deputies andatlopt such measures
as in their Judgment will promote the said meeting.
Let US have this Convention Of the Southern
States with as little delay as possible. Let It be
convened with the specific object OF utcring the
Southern ultimatum on the question of the Union.
Let the real strength of the Secessionst feeling at
the South be fully and fairly expressed in it, and
the programme clearly laid down of the measures
which the South feels to be essential to IFS remain
ing any longer in a confederate league with the
non-slavehoding States. Such Convention, hon
estly held will do more than anything else to de-
termine our present national disease to a crisis 1t
will meet the issue offered by Northern Repub-
caniSm, in form which we can all Of Us compre-
bend and respect"
Let the North and the South understand each
other fully authOritatvely, and finally. Let the
people of the South speak, and let the people of the
North answer.
