POWER or COMMERCE.

The memorial which they present may be
regarded as fair expression of the interest
which is felt by that great commercial COM
munity, and probably fair exponent of the
interest in the same great subject which is felt
by the whole commercial iAterest of the Uni
ted States. In any other part of the world
such communication would command obe-
dience. In England, France, Russia, Prussia,
or Germany, a demonstration of the will OF
the commerce of the country decides ques-
tons of war or peace Happily, sir, that is
not the case in this great Republic. The in
terest of commerce is but tna.

Congressional Representation.

In our last, we mentioned that the Virginia Con-
yenton had rediStricted that State She is entitled
under the apportionment of the Confederate Con-
gress to sixteen members of the House and two in
the Senate, being gain of three members compared
with the old Union.
1t will be still interesting to our readers to
know what number of representatives North Carroll
ma will be entitled to- The ratio of representation
has been fixed at 81 500 to each representative The
Federal population of this State according to the
census Of 1860, is s6O,474- This will give US nine
representatives and fraction of 72, 80 over, which
entities US to another. Our State, therefore will
be entitled to ten representatives in the lower house
and two Senators, being gain of two members Of
the House of Representatives, and giving US twelve
Electoral votes. The approaching Legislature WILL
therefore, divide the State into ten Congressional
Districts

We observe that the Treasurer Of the North Car
olina Railroad has published in the Register and
State Journal of this place, notice of the next
annual meeting of the Stockholders of the Road.
No such publication has been requested in the
STANDARD. We do not complain of this, for we are
able to live without the patronage of our enc
mics, but VIC refer to it to show the "party
rage" by which "the powers that be" are governed.
But for the extraordinary exertions made by the
Standard and its Editor in 1s4s the bill charterng
this Road would have been defeated The Editor
has since lived to see the violent enemies Of this
Road-such, for example, as Gov. Reid, Gov. Bragg,
and Judge Biggs promoted and honored, and that,
too, by internal improvement Democrats, while he

subscribers as both those papers. In addition to
this the Editor of the Standard is a Stakeholder in

Hoke to state that during the extra session of the Le

learned that this liberalty the part of Gen Hoke
came within five votes of losing him his Office in
the secession House of Commons; whereupon We
directed our foreman to inform Gen. H. that we re-

him. We were determined that he should incur no
more such risks on our account. We are confident

Capt. Crossaa and his Prizes.

1t appears that some difficulty has arisen with re-
gard to the disposition of the officers and crews of
the two vessels recently captured by Capt CroSsan.
In Newborn the feeling of some appears to be- that
they should be held prisoners of war, but the
Progress says, that the Military Board released
them and gave them passes to go North, which has
occasioned some dissatisfaction.
The facts have not been stated distinctly enough
to enable US to form a correct opinion If we I'M
derstand it, the Transit may be held and seized as
a prize but her officers and crew not being shown
to have taken up against the South but simply
employed as merchant sailors to convey provisions,
&c, to rebels enemY's fort might be released /;
but the case is different with the officers and crew
of the HARRIET BdtcA. She was a Southern vessel
captured by the enemy, who in order to make good
his prize, placed on board of her a commander and
crew, at war with us, to take her to New York
While on her passage she was captured by Captain
CroSsan. 1t is plain therefore, that the officers and
crew in charge of the enemy's prize, are properly
prisoners of war, and should be dealt with accord
ngly. The CaptaiG, we learn, has been in the City
with his prisoner Lieut. -, but what has been
done with the matter, We have not learned.

Confederate State Loan.

We observe that books have been opened in most
of the Confederate States for loans to carry on the
war. We would respectfully suggest to Mr.. Men,
munger, the Secretary of the Treasury the propriety
OF opening books for this purpose in this State
Our people would come forward in support of the
Government with at least as much zeal as has been
manifested in the other States Cotton and bank
notes would no doubt oe subscribed to a large
amount for the bonds of the Confederate States
These bonds afford good investment The indie
pendence of the Confederate States is as certain
any thing can be in the future; but, whatever the
result OF the present struggle may be- it is the duty
as 1t will be the pleasure of all good citizens to up
hold and strengthen the hands of the government
We trust the Secretary of the Treasury will de-
signate some one or more of our citizens, in whom
our people have full confidence, to open books for
the purpose referred to. 1t would be we'll to open
them at various points, say at Tarborough, Will
mington, Newbern, Raleigh Fayetteville, Edenton,
Charlotte, and marlborough &c. Marlborough, Fay
etteVille, marlborough and Charlotte are cotton
localities.
We have spoken of cotton localities, but it must
be borne in mind that this is to considerable ex-
tent breadstuff State and tobacco State. If the
Secretary would include wheat, and corn, and to-
bacco for this State he would thereby put it in the
power of our people to aid the government to a
much greater extent than they could do by SUBJ
scriptions only of cotton and bank notes.
Since the above was in type, we have received the
advertisement of H. K. Burgwyn, ESQ.,; which see.

ourDeep River country.

D
Deeply engrossed as all Of US are in the progress
Of the war and the triumph Of the South, the inn
mense beds of coal andiron on Deep river so essen
tal to North Carolina and the South, either in
or peace, must not be overlooked Every additional
examination made by experienced men of the coal
and iron there only confirms and renders more
convincing, the statements and scientific explora-
tons of DR.. Emmons and other scientific men.
The last Fayetteville Observer ever mindful of this
great interest gives an account of recent examina
tons by experienced man connected with the late
Arsenal at Harper's Ferry. This gentleman says
that he thinks the coal equal to the best Cumber-
land COAL that it is easily mined and that the iron
ore can by cheap process be easily rendered equal
for gun and cannon purposes, to the Marshall iron
of England or the importations from Norway, FORM
erly used at Harper's Ferry.
We have heretofore noticed the proposition to
furnish Charleston with the coal, and more recently
there is application from Norfolk for 10000 TONS
The earliest attention of the Legislature at its
next session should be directed to this matter, and
the most efficient steps taken to secure the favorable
consideration of the Confederate Congress to this
locality, as the very best point for the location of
National Foundry.
We cannot perhaps do better service in this re-
gard, than to comply with the request of friend,
and give space to the excellent speech of Hon. John
A. Gilmer of this State, delivered in the Federal
Congress on the 2ls: of February, 1859. The argu-
ments of Mr.. Gilmer in support of National Foun-
dry, are as forcible they then nay i: is
of infinitely more Importance to the Southern Con-
federacy to have National Foundry on Deep River,
that it was to the old Union Then there were 9TH
places of equal claims perhaps to Deep River, but
| in the Southern COnfederacy doubt if there is
| any locality of equal advantages to this.
