Mr. Colville, of Wilmington, practical worker in
iron has been experimenting for several weeks upon

One Of the good effects of the late meeting of
Bankers in Richmond, is that the Banks Of the sew
eral States will soon begin to receive the bills Of
other State Banks on deposite. The Exchange
Bank of Virginia, is now receiving and paying out
the notes of South Carolina, Georgia and North

The balance against any Bank will be paid in Con.

An Answer.


correspondent asks US the question whether
the volunteers of the first regiment are to be dis
charged six months from the time they were accept
ed by the Governor, or 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 as follows: a-ss -
Resoleed, blythe Congrsssefthe Considerable States
Of Anelsca, That the President be and be is hereby
authorized to receive and muster into the service of
the Confederate States of America the First Regi-
ment of North-C Carolina Volunteers, now stationed
ut Yorktown, fer the term of six months from the
time they were sworn in and mustered into service
of North Carolina, and to discharge them after the
expiration Of that period; said period to commence
AZ the time the first company of said regiment was
mustered into service of North Carolina.
Rssolrea. 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 phi

John c. Breckinridse.

We call attention to the able communication in
our paper to-day, over the signature Of "Harnett"
in which justice is done to Mr.. Breckinridge
We also entirely concur with the Charlotte BuL
ktin and Newbcrn Progress in the view which they
take Of Mr.. Breckinridges course The Bulletin
says:
Notwithstanding some Of our North Carolina
exchanges express their dsapprobstion because some
Of the independent presses of the State censure Mr.
Breckenridge for being ally Of black Republicans
Breckenridge been anything else but Democrat he
would long since have been doubly damned by those
very journalists who now appear as his apologists
They have condemned private citizens, born at the
South, but temporarily residing at tie North, for
remaining there, yet they see no harm in Brock
inridge hanging on to Lncoln's Menagerie.
BreeknrIdge, il he was disposed to be 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, flock
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: ,,s
1--WE see that Mr. Breckenridge has made speech
in the Senate IN which he is reported to have said
gOOu zeal ABOUT Tue OH 1tS observance
the duty of patriots, &C., and Cor which the Rspub-
licans IN the gallery .applaudea him; in all this.
however, he said nothing about resistance to tyran.

him 90 home and rally the people Of his State to re.
sistance for until he does this be must be set down
as against us. Certainly he cannot, be considered
with the South as long as he sits in Lincoln's Sem

iRepubicanism and Southern Rights will soon
be fought in Kentucky, however, and then the pet
Breckenridge will show his hand and We shall expect
to find him then as now, against US. We hope it may
be otherwise" ~ -.
The tenacity with which certain journals in this
State still cling to Mr. Breckenridge, 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
let US beware Of them in the new.
