A. R. Mcdonald and Alex. Barrett, Secretaries. a
viz: Col John Morrison, A. H, McNeill, W. 7.

WHEREAS, The people Of the Confederate States
have assumed nationality, separate and distinct
from the government Of the United States of Ameri-
ca, in consequence Of which they are besieged BY
powerful force from the government of Abraham
Lincoln, whose ayowed purpose is the subjugation
of many millions Of free and independent people Of
the South. Interest and honor would seem 10 re-.

the most perfect manner, put themselves in COM

fruitful of international and civil wars And being
fanked on their northern frontier by the busting
artillery Of their most deadly enemy, and on their
east and south BY open seas where armed vessels
may and actually are menacing their coast and har-
bors; aud being inadequately equipped with ships

SPEAKER OF TIE SENATE AND GOVERNOR
be seen by reference to the Senate proceedings Of
Thursday, that that body, on motion of Col Brown,
laid on the table some resolutions introduced by Mr..
Turner proposing an inquiry into the propriety Of
electing Governor by the Legislature This action
of the Senate settles the question !; and Gov Clark
is therefore, acting Governor, or is exercising the
powers of Governor, by virtue Of his Office as Speak
er of the Senate Gov Clark himself, who called
the Senate to order, and who presided portion Of
the time on.Thursday, took occasion to announce
bis views on the subject; in which views the Senate
acquiesced correct by its action above referred
TO- This action is in accordance with all the prece-
dents on the subject in the history Of the State.
Gov. Clark will no doubt, however, find it exceed
ngy inconvenent to preside over the Senate and at
The same time perform the duties of Governor. The
probability is therefore, that he will designate some
senator to preside or that the Senate itself will elect
aSpeaker pro tenn. -ss n
The difficulty encountered in constituting the Con-
sututon on this point, would Of itself suggest as
desirable measure, the alteration of the Constitution

elected by the people We trust that the Conven-
a0n, when it re-assembles in November next will
make such provision As will remove oil doubt on the

Mouthins politicians and thoughtless persons kept

We expect the same course will be pursued towards

there is but little for the Legislature TO do, makes
the following remarks, which we endorse, and to
which we would call the attention Of the Leeisla-

The Legislature in May last authorized the issue
by the treasury of an amount in small bills none of
which have yet been issued, while in the meantime
the State is flooded by similar issues from other
States The Legislature also made provision for the
payment of troops There are companies that have
been in the service of the State for months and are
now in the service of the Confederacy in Virginia
and have yet to see the first cent Of pay The au-
thorites at Raleigh refer them to the Confederacy.

nothing to do with fulfilling the separate contracts

that this thing should be seen to, and no bungline

The Militia Law.


The recent call Of Gov. Clark Upon the field off,
GERS Of the Militia, and where there are none, upon
the Shcrifs Of the several Counties, to summon all
the free white males of the State, from 1S to As
years Of age to enrol their names for Militia duty,
renders it absolutely necessary that the Militia law
under which he is acting should be made public
So far as we know the Acts of the last Legislature
are still unpublished. Would it not be better,
therefore, to have the act published forthwith in the
papers of the State?
The Charlotte Democrat asks, Is there any
Militia law in existence in this State?" and ntl
mates that the militia law passed at the regular
session ofthe Legislature, was repealed by the vol
unteer bill of the extra session. The Democrat is
certainly mistaken in this. The Legislature at its
regular session passed militia law which was con.
sidered imperfect At the extra session an attempt
was made to perfect il, and perhaps it passed the
House, but it did not pass the Senate Toe volun.
teer bill passed did not however, repeal the militia
law, as We understand it.

committee on Military affairs, had most excellent
Militia bill prepared, which ought to have been and
would have been passed. but for the intenselv erces
sirs anxiety Of Mr.. Biggs to adjourn the body lie
