Confederate Congress.

The Fayetteville Observer speaks complainingy
of the course pursne in the Confederate Congress-
in the appointment of committees, placing Virginia
and North Carolina delegates at the tail end of the
committees. Our contemporary is justly jealous of
the honor of our good old State 1t is high time
that entire population had determined to resist
every act of the States orjof the National Govern
ment, which does not fully admit our equality among
equals. We ought to demand our rights in this re-
spect to the bitter end. North Carolina can never
submit again to the neglect, as we'll as the indgni-
ties which have been shown her. But in the above
case it is probable our contemporary overlooked the
fact, that no slight could have been intended The
present is an adjourned session. The committees
were appointed at the last session. and Virginia and
North Carolina having come in since, their delegates
were simply attached to the committees

John C.. Breckinrid.e.

We call attention to the able communication in
our paper to-day, over the signature of "Harnctt"
in which justice is done to Mr.. Breckenridge.
We also entirely concur with the Charlotte Bul-
letin and Newborn Progress in the view which they
take of Mr.. Breckinridge's course. The Bulletin
says:
Notwithstanding some of our North Carolina
exchanges express their dlsapprohaOn because some
of the independent presses of the State cenSure Mr.
Breckenridge for being ally of black Republicans
we cannot help expressing the opinion that had Mr..
Breckenridge been anything else but Democrat he
would long since have been douby damned by those
very journalists who now appear as his apologiss
They have condemned private citizens, born at the
South, but temporarily residing at the North for
remaining there yet they see no harm in Brecl-
inrdge hanging on to Lincoln's Menagere
Breckenridge, if he disposed to he true to the
South, should have acted as did John Bell.
We regard Breckenridge Notwithstanding his late
Constitutional argument as truculent and time
serving. Birds Of feather" it is said "hOck
together" He is not worthy the confidence of true
Southern men. We verify believe that neither the
waters Of Albania or Pharpar nor of Jordan, can
wash him clean Of his moral leprosy."
The Progress says:
ave see that Mr. Breckenridge has made speech
in the Senate III which he is reported to have said
good deal about the old constitution its observance
the duty of patriots &c, and for which the Repub-
licans in the gallery GPplauded Ahn; in all this,
however, he said nothing about resistance to tyran-
ny by Kentucky If he is true to his section let
him go home and rally the people of his State to re-
sstance for until he does this he must be set down
as against us. Certainly he cannot be considered
with the South as long as he sits in Lincoln's Sen
ate and draws his per diem from Llncoln's treasury;
and to so class him is ridiculous and absurd Breck-
inridge sits in the rump Congress while thousands
of brave Kentuckans fighting for Southern
independence But his slavish party apologists say
he is there for good purpose. As well send preach
er to hell for the salvation of souls. A battle be-
tween Repubicanisn and Southern Rights will soon
be fought in Kentucky, however and then the pet
Breckenridge will show his hand and shall expect
to find him then as now, against We hope it may
be otherwise"
The tenacity with which certain journals in this
State still cling to Mr. Breckinrdge affords striking
evidence of the binding effects of party ZEAL Par
ty spirit caucuses conventions and cliques were
largely instrumental in destroying the old Republic;

MILITARY ScHooLs.-The Editor of this paper
among the first in this State to call attention to
the importance of military schools. In an address
delivered before the State Educational Association,
in Warrenton, June LIST, 1857, he said:
" We need also a State Polytechnic or Military
School, The dream of universal peace is pleasant
fancy, destined never to be realized. The moral i'm
provemcnt of the world has not kept pace with its
intellectual; the most intellectual communities in
the United States the most unstable and asgres-
sive, and the least disposed apparently to regard
their constitutional and moral obligations. We
must deal with human nature and with States and
nations as we find them. Possessed as we are OF a
peculiar institution, so thoroughly interviewer with
our domestic peace, and essential to our COLI
tinued progress and prosperity, it especially be-
comes us to cultivate martial spirit We must
prepare for all the duties that may lie De-
fore them, whether in civil life or in the paths of
acar! Our rights and the peace of our tire-sides
must be defended in the last resort by every drop
of blood and by every ounce of treasure that VIC
have. Virginia, on the one hand, expends fifty
thousand dollars per annum on her military schools,
and South Carolina the other, thirty thousand
dollars; yet we have public military school, -
there are but eight or ten volunteer companies in
the State and militia system is neglected, and
entirely inefficient"

SeIfOus ARRAY.

We are panied to learn that a serious ARRAY oc-
Cured on Sunday night last, in the Southern por-
ton of the City, Dodds mineral spring, at the
house of Mrs. Crawley. Between il and -
o'clock at right soldier named W. P. Baker, a
private in the Waxhaw Jackson Rangers now en-
camped two miles from the City, went to the house
Mrs. Crawley, knocked and demanded admittance.
Mrs. Horton whose husband is soldier in Virginia,
is living with her mother, Mrs. Crawley. The fe
males were Immediately aroused, and peremptorily
refused Baker admittance. He urged his demand,
and threatened to enter orcibly if the door not
opened Becoming much alarmed, Mrs. Horton
quietly slipped out at the back door, and going to
the house Of Mr.. George Davis, near by, informed
him of the attack made upon them, and begged his
assistance. Mr. Davis married a daughter of Mrs.
Crawley. He Immediately arose and dressed him
SELF and fearing he might have some difficulty, took
his gun with him. On repairing to the house Of
Mrs. Crawley, he found Baker stranger to him,
evidently intoxicated and still demanding admit
lance and making his threats. Davis at once re-
monstrated with Baker, and begged him to leave,
which Baker refused to do Davis continued his
remonstrances until both became excited Baker
drew his boweknife, and threatened to stab Davis,
and suiting the action to the word, he advanced
upon Davis, still threatening, when Davis raised his
gun and shot him, Baker being near enough to be
burnt by the gum The load entered his breast
making an aperture as large as a quarter of dollar

peaceable and well-meaning member of our COM

An Answer.

correspondent asks US the question whether
the volunteers Of the first regiment arc to be dis
charged six months from the time they accept
ed by the Governor, from the time they were
sworn into service The act of the Confederate
Congress in regard to that regiment answers the
question directly; we therefore give copy Of the
act follows:
ResOlred By the Congress ofths Confederate States
Of America That the President be and he is hereby
authorized to receive and muster into the service of
the Confederate States Of America the First Regi-
ment of North Carolina Volunteers now stationed
at Yorktown, for the term Of six months from the
time they were sworn in and mustered into service
of North-Carolna, and to discharge them after the
expiration of that period; said period to commence
at the time the first company of said regiment
mustered into service of North Carolina.
ReSotred, further, That the Cadets from the North
Carolina Institute at Charlotte, who may have been
acting with said regiment be mustered into service
in the same manner as the residue of the regiment,
and recognized part thereof with the pay Of pri
Yates.
