NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. The
Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Bul
letin writes:
The Senate is still getting on very slow
ly upon the Revenue Bill. ...
A bill has just passed the House author
izing the Governor to build five gun-boats
for the protection of the Albermarle and
Pamlico Sounds.
A joint resolution this morning passed
both Houses, fixing Friday, 4 o'clock, P
NJ, as the time for adjournment. 1t is
probable, however, that the resolution will
be rescinded, as it will be impossible fo'
the table of the Senate to be cleared Of the
business Of that House by that time.
A bill for the issue of treasury notes from
five cents up to one hundred dollars, tt
the amount of eight hundred thousand dol
lars, has passed both Houses.

Delaware State journal and statesman., 1861-05-03

few days ago, Maryland was in great tribu-
iatlOn because of the passage of troops through
Baltimore to defend the National Capital. In
deed so disturbed were some Of the people of
that famous city about it, that they took it into
their heads to murder number of unarmed
troops while attempting peacaby to reach
Washington through the public streets. Now we
find Maryland quite as much exercised about
certain "Outrages' committed by a band of law
less secessiOnists called Virgnans, upon cit-
gems of Frederick and Washington counties. 1t
seems that these rebels, not having the fear of
the army which Baltimore refused to let pass to
Washington, before their eyes, make incursons
on the peace and property of Marylanders, and
greatly alarm and disturb them. So numerous
forsOOtb, have their grievances become in this
respect, that Gov. Hicks has made them the sub.
lect Of a special message to the Legislature. If
Maryland doesn't like to be thus paid off in her
own coin, she should at once praceoulIv
