Ladies of North.CaroIipa,

We are glad to see that Gov. Clark has issued the
following circular to the Sherfs of the State. We
have no doubt the ladies will respond warmly and
promptly to the call Already they are responding,
as will be seen IN another column:
To tile SheritS Of the seUeral Counties Of North.
Carolina:
1t is deemed not only desirable but an imperative
duty that early measures be taken to accumulate a
supply of winter clothing for the North Carolina
troops now in the field. The scarcity of material
for sale IN this State and the uncertainty of procur
ing supplies from abroad, force US to rely on our
domestic resources.
1t is thought that every family can spare one or
more blankets without personal inconvenience or a
pair of wooden socks and it is believed that for such
apurpose a call would be responded to with alacrity.
1t has therefore been concluded that an appeal
for this purpose be made to the great body of the
people, and with that view | have to request the
sheIs OF the several counties to act as agents OF the
State, to solicit contribution of this kind.
To this end they requested to circulate this
notice. and employ agents in every district of their
county to further the matter
All contributions of this kind NAV be boxed and
forwarded to the nearest Railroad Depot-and due
information thereof sent to the Governor
The Sheriffs are further requested to furnish to
the Governor a list of the donors.
The transportation of these donations will be at
the expense of the State-and the bill for such SER
vice should be duly forwarded for payment

Governor of North Carolina.

The Militia Law.

The recent call of Gov Clark upon the field off,
GERS of the Militia, and where there are none, upon
the Sherns of the several Counties, to summon all
the free white males of the State, from Is to 40
years of age TO enrol their 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are still unpublished.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 intI-
mates that the militia law passed at the regular
session of the Legislature, was repealed by the vol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 con-
sdered imperfect. At the extra session an attempt
made to perfect it, and perhaps it passed the
House, but it did not pass the Senate. Tine voun-
teer bill passed did not however, repeal the militia
law, as we understand it.
In the Convention, Mr.. Venable chairman of the
committee on Military affairs had a most excellent
Militia bill prepared which ought to have been and
would have been passed but for the intensely
sire anxiety of Mr.. BiggS to adjourn the body. lie
with Others considered that they had been sent to
the Convention only for object i. e. to take the
State out of the old Union and put her into the new
Conederacy and then to leave her to toddle on the
best she could but all these intense men took good
to remain long enough to every partizan
advantage possible, to the neglect Of important in
terests of the State.

At meeting held in Carthage on Saturday, the
10th inst, of which Alex. Kelly was Chairman and
a. R. Mcdonald and Alex. Barrett Secretaries,
Committee consisting of the following gentlemen
viz: Col. John Morrison, A. ii. Mcneil, w. T.
JONES' A. r. Mcdonald and Alex. Barrett reported
the following which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The people of the Confederate States
have assumed a 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 avowed purpose is the suhjugaton
of many millions of free and independent people of
the South. Interest and honor would seem to re-
quire that they should at the earliest time and in
the most perfect manner, put themselves in a CON-
plete state Of defence for their present and future
security-sceing that the age in which We live is
fruitful of international and civil wars. And being
thanked on :heir northern frontier by the buStng
artillery of their most deadly enemy, and on their
east and south by open seas where armed vessels
may, and actually are, menacng their coast and har
bors; and being nadequately equipped with ships
of war for ri>kng any serious naval engagements
with their enemy-a wise economy would there
fore suggest that their arrangements should be
extensive and perfect and that given object is
to be effected, expense is unreasonable which is
necessary to effect it in the most perfect manner
And whereas, it is the opinion of the best militia
ry talent in the country that of the best modes
of efecting the foregoing is by the establishment
Foundry at the expense, and under the direction
of the government, for the manufacture of arms and
other munitions Of war, and every thing in its pow
er for the defence Of the country whether by land
or sea; and since are satisfied from the explv-
rations, opinions and reports of Professors Emmons
Jackson, and Com. Wilkes, gentlemen eminentl,
qualified to give correct statement of the facts
nected with The subject, that perhaps, other 10
cality in the South is we'll suited in every par
ticular for the erection of an armory and machine
thn Ealla in thn ~ in tha Stota
Of North Carolina;
We, therefore, portion of the citizens of Moor
county, in convention assembled, being anxious for
the public safety, have thought it proper and fit
occasion to present the foregoing memorial to our
delegates in Congress, with the request that at the
earliest opportunity, they direct the attention of
Congress to the subject

Well Put,

Mouthing politicians and thoughtless persons kept
up a continual clamor against the Convention urg-
ing it to adjourn In spite Of the demands of many
important interests of the State which were ec pard-
ed by an early adjournment or hasty action, they
never rested until that body adjourned Among its
acts it provided for the meeting of the Legislature
We expect the same course will be pursued towards
the Legislature The Wilmington journal in long
hut excellent article noticing the suggestion that
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 Legisla-
turc:
"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 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-
thoritics at Raleigh refer them to the Confederacy.
The officers of the Conederacy say that they have
nothing to do with fulfilling the separate contracts
OF North Carolina Meanwhile how fare the troops ?
We know Of companies who served under the call
of the Governor, affirmed by the action of the Leg
Slature for months at the forts and elsewhere, and
Troops, who exactly in this position. These
worthy citizens must no longer be banded about on
the circumlocutiOn principle. The people demand
that this thing should be seen to, and no bunglng
evasion will do If Mr.. Treasurer Courts cannot
sign treasury notes, let the Legislature provide an
Assistant Assistants, the Confederate Congress
has done by law for its signing officer. If the pay
master cannot audit and attend to the claims ofthese
suffering men, then let him too be enabled to have
it done. In fact, let the impeachment or impediments
be removed wherever existing. In this matter the
position of the officers is frequently more en-
barrassng than that of the men. The latter do get
rations, at least. The former do not their pay be-
ing in lieu of all allowances, that getting pay
they have had to work for nothing and find them
selves. We are speaking now of what we do know,
and we think that our contemporary of the Democrat,
and indeed all our other contemporaries will admit
that this is more importantha arranging and decid-
ing upon the claims of professional office seekers
and managing politicians"

The want of funds is perhaps the only good reason.
Can they not be obtained? Will not the Legisla-

matter of the utmost importance to the mining in
