The Produce Loan.

What has become of the produce loan in this
State? We have scarcely heard word of it since
the Commissioner issued his advertisement In the
other States the produce loan has run up to near
1000 900 of bales of cotton. Will North Carolina
do nothing ia this regard? Her people are doing
much to support the war, but our wealthy planters
do much more if they will take hold the produce
loan as they should
What is the matters Is the Commissioner of
this State doing what he might? He must allow
us to touch him up, or to stir up his mind by way
of remembrance.
Welearn FROM the Fayetteville Observer that there
is much inquiry in that section among farmers as
to the terms and to whom they shall apply. Agents
should be appointed in every County in the State.
We suppose the government would take on loan
cotton, wheat, corn or tobacco.
Since writing the above We remember to have
heard recently that j. w. B. Watson, Esq, the
Senator from Johnston had subscribed 800 bales of
c,tton and that Col. G. W. Watson, of the same
County had subscribed 100 bales. We learn that
the aggregate subscription of these two gentlemen
in produce and cash to the Confederate loan, is
$4,000

forbidding the transportation of Bacon, Leather and
Shoes from the State, except when Done at the in
stance of the Confederate government short
tune after, considerable quantity of bacon, &c,
was seized at this depot route for Virginia More
recently shoes and bacon were seized at Goldsboro
The object Of the Governor was to put stop to
the nesTuess of spectators, who, notwithstanding
the exorbtant prices and scarcity of these articles
in the State were draining il of them to get still
higher prices out of it. The name of every such
Spectator ought to be published and the ban of So
ciety should he put upon them. Many of our poor

Sinks SO they can swim.
We learn that number of these spectators arc
aowin different parts of the State, buying up every
thing they can turn to profit, and are sending out
their purchases by wagons so as to elude the au-
thor6cs. We say nothing of the constitutonaiity
Of the act Of the Governor. The object was good
one, and it ought to have been egazed; but as the
Legislature in its hurry failed to do so, we presume
the Council of State will, when it convenes next

Town of Washington.

The people of this place seem to be fully aroused
to their exposed condition. With half chance
they will do as much to defend themselves as any
people. They are not the people to stand by and
look on. We regret to learn from indications in
the Newbern Progress that Old Athens since the
fight, has sunk again into stupor. She had better
beStir herself
On the 10th instant, at a large public meeting
held in Washington, patriotic and stirring speeches
were made by Messrs. W. j. Ellison, William B.
Rodman and F. B. Satterthwaite, of Pitt Mr.. j.
A. Stanly in behalf of the committee, reported the
following among other resolutions which were
adopted unanimously:
Resolred, 3D. We warn all citizens ofthe county,
that any aid or comfort extended to the enemy, or
any recognition of the authority Of the Federal Gov
ernment is treason against the State of NOrth-Car-
olina and the Confederate States and is punishable
by death by the laws of both
Resolred Sd. That We have good reason to con-
graduate the patriotic citizens of this county upon
the prompt manner in which they have rallied to
the standard of our government and we feel assu-
red that they need no exhortaton to arouse their
vigilance or their determination to drive the inva
ders from our soil.
ResoLred 4th. That our State government, or
rather our late State government under the rule and
domination of the ms.called Military Board, is
justly and righteously receiving the condemnation
and execration of the people of North Carolina for
the shameful manner in which they have sacrificed
some OF our most important coast-defences: and we
regard the defeat of the Seven Regiment Ordinance
in the State Convention, defeated through their in
strumentality) as one of the most mischievous Of
their many mischievous doings, and by which a
large and rich portion of our State has been expo
sed to the rayages of ruthless enemy
PoeolreI nth That WE have evary coDHdanna in
the wisdom and integrity ofthe Confederate author
ities and pledge to them our best efforts to fur
ther and promote all measures they may adopt to
expel the invaders FROM our soil.

Standard and Register of the 2lst) having fallen

This fine cannon was in its proper place at Fort
Macon, and was not ordered away by me.
One object of this card is to correct popular
allacy, that guns of large bore calbre range to
greater distances with proportionable charges.
This is not so in general. On the contrary, the
heavy 80 Founders, of about three tons weight,
with which our troops fought at Hatteras, ranged
to sea under ordinary elevations, further than any
other smooth bored guns
The only military advantage of guns of large
bore, is the smashing effect Of the ball. produced By
its erceSsire Ueight and mass.

seige would doubtless have been the same had all the
guns at HatteraS been ten-inch colambiads

dence of bis wife, went to work making cloth of diff
ferent kinds for clothing for his family. which num-
bers about fifty persons, white and black. His wife
and daughters now wear homespun, though he is a
gentleman Of good estate.

This lssthe right spirit We must learn to live
within ourselves but above all must incur sacr-
fees in order that our brave troops may be COM
fortably clothed during the coming winter. Let
every woman in the State emulate especially at this

Sugar and Salt.

These articles of necessity are greatly in demand
Their scarcity and the conduct of spectators has
made them exceedingly high. The delay of our
people to provide them at time when they could

difficult to obtain.

have the name of but one receiver appointed in this

In this connection we would remark that we con-
cieve the position of Receiver under the Sequestra

one. 1t is not every man or every lawyer who is

will exercise wise discretion in their selection.

consider it decidedly more Objectionable than the
law which the Supreme Court set aside as unconst-
the credit Of debtors, for who will trust anybody
with such law staring them in the face? Or who
can ask to be trusted?
With the jurisdiction of the county Courts in a
year, man may hope to get Judgment on plain
debt in about ten years. And after judgment no
ca: sa. is permitted (that is, suppose it in
tended to say at the beginning of sec s, though
the word no is omitted) Defendants are allowed to
take appeals manifestly to gain time only, without
giving security for judgments or costs
II is sad to the Constitution, the Laws, and
the Courts, abolished 1t bodies no good to any
honest man, whether rich or poor; but is a license
to offenders great and small, from the murderer to
the petty thief many of whom will escape all pun
ishment by the delay of year. And if all such
should be arrested the jails will be filled and
nous costs entailed the counties for feeding the
prisoners"

most effective force for the East would be the
formation of Independent Cavalry Lcgions to serve
for three or six months in the Eastern Counties
Two could be formed in the Edenton district two
Tar River, two on Neuse, and two from the Counties
adjacent to Swansboro' and Topsail Inlet. They
could furnish their horses and arms say sabres
pistsls and doublebarreled guns, without pay or
expense to the State, except for tents, camp equip
age and food.
We know the liberality and the courage of the
Eastern people, and we hazard nothing in saying
that thousands of good and true men be found
in these Counties to get up these LeGions. OF
course they must he composed of men Of property
and means who can afford it.

"HATTERAs.-We understand that Information
has been received in Newborn, and believed there
to be reliable, that Major E. d. Hall, of the 9TH
Regiment n c. State Troops who is stationed in
Hyde county, has captured some twelve native trail
tors who had gone over to the banks and taken the
oath, and had returned to the mainland to act
Lincolnite spies and emisSarcs. On their persons
were found documents addressed 20 the authorities
and people of Newbern, Washington and other
towns requesting them to offer no opposition to the
advance OF the Federal troops into the interior of
the State, promising that if opposition was offer
ed by them, they wOnld not be mOlested The men
have been detained in custody, and the documents
iorw arded to Head Quarters"
We have heard that the authorities here have re-
ceived information similar to the above stated by
the Wilmington Journal If it be true, of course
but little difficulty arise as to what should be
done with the traitors.
