Spies.


The Richmond Examiner has repeatedly urged
the inpolicy Of employing in the departments of the
Confederate States at Richmond, persons with Yam
kee proclvitles and those who held office under the
Lincoln government until late period. These
office jackalls have forced themselves into every
possible nook in the South both in the Confederate
and State governments where an office was to be
had. Shrewd Yankees and foreigners seem to have
been preferred to our native Southerners where
they could be had, and the government has thus
placed itself in position to be of espionage by Lin
coin employees all over the South. The Richmond
Dispatch states that recent New York paper pub
fishes complete list of the regiments battalions
and companies in the Confederate service ; list
not entirely correc, but one much fuller than any
Richmond editor could have made out from docu-
ments in his possession. Congress holds its secret
sessions is often uttered and in some in.
stances not without cause, think, that Southern
papers publish too much, and yet every important
fact or movement in the South is communicated by
agents of the Northern press in the South who must
be more or less connected with the Confederate
government This subject demands the attention
of Congress. Lneolntes if among US, should be
ferreted out and exposed whatever may be their
position.

CONSERVATISM. An intelligent correspondent liv-
ing in strong conservative County, writing to US,
holds the following language. The times call for
the best men in Office and the most prompt and uni
ted action in prosecuting the war. If those who
manage it. will not discard partyism--if they con-
tinue to evnce more concern for building up par
ty-for rewarding avorites, than for the energetic
prosecution Of the war and proper economy in the
expenditure of the public funds they must give
place to those who will sacrifice every thing for the
good of the Confederacy and the good of the people
Having spoken Of the past he says:
"But these matters are now past though the
principles Still live on. You may rest as.
sured that is County will sustain you both at
home and through her troops in the army. We
know how matters have been progressing, and that
the remedy is to cast out those that buy and sell
in the temple" Extremists, ungovernable fanatics,
etc, must give place to sound conservative men,
who think for the future as well as the present"

GRAND LoDGE.-Owing to the pressure upon our
columns, we omitted to notice the meeting of the
annual convocaton Of the Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons Of North Carolina, in this city,
the frs: week of the present month. The attend
ance we believe was good and the proceedings
highly interesting to the members of that ancient
order. The following officers we're elected for the
ensuing year:
DR.. W. G. Hill Grand Master; Daniel Coleman
Grand Senior Warden; DR. R. K Speed, Grand Ju-
Nor Warden; G. W. d. Hutehings, Grand Treasu-
rer; W. L. Balm, Grand Secretary.

A SALT RIvER.-The Richmond Dispatch wishes
the attention of the authorities of this State called
to published statement, that there is in Union
County, N. c., "a fountain which in former times
poured forth rich abundance of saline material,
and has been used for sailing meat, and pronounced
equal to best Liverpool" The Dispatch will re-
member that the statement is, that 1t used to be-
We presume if such saline fountain were now in
existence it would have been put to boiling months
ago We saw the statement but supposed our
sharp men would have found it out if any thing
could have been made of it.

SALr-Few matters now concern farmers more
than salt Every one wants salt-cheap IT possible;
but it must be had. The Convention resolved to
invest at least 100000 in its manufacture on che
seacoast in order to relieve the people. Dr. Worth,
the commissioner, who is man of energy and
business tact will 60 to work in earnest to produce
the largest quantity in the shortest period. But
there must be some necessary delay, and We fear
the people will have salt to a certain extent, at any
price, In the meantime private parties are boiling
salt on Currituck Sound, on Bogue Sound, and'on
Topsail Sound, if not at other points The New
bern Progress speaks highly Of the quality OF the
salt made near Carolina City by Mr.. j. NJ. Oliver,
of Newbern and it says that in few days lthe
several makers near Morehead City will be able to
turn cut 200 bushels per day. ....-...
Let the farmers delay killing their pork for a
short time, until salt can be obtained at q living
price, Corn is plentiful, and the free use Of corn
to hogs few weeks longer will make better pork,
and greatly increase the quantity. Prudence there
fore, as well as economy, would seem to dictate
that our farmers should not be hasty in killing pork
this season.

EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-Lincoln's government
persists in Its tom-tocery in refusing to recognize
the SOUTH as beligerents or to exchange prisoners
according to the ordinary rules of war, yet it pro-
poses to release our prisoners in number equal to
the number of Yankee prisoners released by us, on
duly exchanged Were it not that each of our brave
fellows in Northern prisons worth any two Yam
KEGS We should doubt the policy of accedng 10 the
proposition. Such dastardly meanness deserves the
most stubborn rcbuke.
We are glad to learn from the papers that large
number of the Hatteras prisoners, with eleven Off
GERS, will be released in few days from Fort War
rem. Such an event would gladden. many heart in
North Carolina.

Of the measure, it was evident the execution OF the
ordinance would meet with great resistance that It
would thus produce strife and division among our
people; and if so, would be the cause OF mischief
instead of good That sooner than run the hazard
of these evils, was willing to give up that portion
of the ordinance relating to the oath OF allegiance
"test oath" l denied that it was, throughout
Not that my opinions had undergone any change IN
regard to toe principle involved but that my object
was to secure harmony; and feared the result, II
those who opposed the measure should use their In
fuencs to excite the people against it.
As to that portion of the ordinance against "se-
dition" took the ground that would not compro-
mise that at all but would insist it and that was
willing to 60 before the country and tho people on
that issue. -.-
The editorial alluded to is calculated to mislead,
fear, in regard to what said about the relative
positions of original "secessionists and union
men," The way in which came to allude to this
matter at all, was this. limitations were thrown
out that the object of the ordinance was aimed at
and designed to embarrass the old Union men. For
myself, as one of the committee, l was repelng
such idea, and used complimentary language to-
wards those Union men who had cordially sustained
the cause Of the South and the vigorous prosecu-
ton Of the war. My purpose was to ignore all dis
tnctions between " secessionists" and union:sts'
merely on account of old differences of opinion;
and that the only test OF soandnesS non, should De
loyal devotion to the cause of the South and an
infexibe determination TO prosecute the war to the
achievement of our independence. The tone Of the
editorial in the STANDARD would imply that | was
disposed to discriminate in favor Of Union men. l
meant no such thing. My purpose was to disclaim
all purpose or design to censure any class of men
| on account of former difference My language was
that Union men who were now cordially enlisted in
the prosecution of our cause, good Seces-
| sionists,-but not better.

Letter from MIR. Rayner.

The letter of Mr.. Rayncr, which we publish be-
low, requires but little any comment or cxplana-
ton Certainly, it was not our wish to misrepre-
sent Mr. Rayner but we very clearly perceive now,
that if we had said he announced his opposition on
reflection to continuing the test oath feature in the
ordinance, We would have done him Justice, rather
than by saying he announced his opposition to it
on reaecton"-the fact being that he was not op-
posed to it in ITSELF but that he believed the adop-
ton of that feature by the Convention would do
more harm than good, as it would produce conten-
ton among the people. So far as tie "old seces-
sonists" and "od Union men, are concerned, we
understood Mr.. Rayner saying substantially what
he has repeated IN his letter but our recollection
is-though in this we may be mistaken-that while
generally he placed them in this great struggle for
liberty on the same ground, he added that the lat
ter deserved credit, if possible, than the for
mer for the reason that they had promptly over
come their strong attachment to the old government
and had sprung with as much aacrity as others to
the Southern standard. But these are only shades
of difference in recollection and do not affect our
estimate of the part which Mr. Rayner acted in SUBJ
ordinatng his very natural pride of opinion, far
the test oath feature concerned to the higher
good which he believed or reflection, would be &C.
complished by emitting that feature in the Or
d,nance
We expect hereafter to discuss the test oath Or
dinance, which was so signay defeated by the Con-
ton. Our opinion is that Judge Bisss and Mr..
Wood6n are manly responsible for that measure,
and we shall pay our respects to them in due time

DEAR SIR: In the Standard of this date dis
cover an editorial notice of the debate which took
place in the Convention, the ordinance relating
to "sedtion," &C., which, without some explana-
ton on my part might lead to msconStructon of
my position on that subject
The editorial alluded to, says I" Mr.. r" (rneaning
myselt) acted frank and manly part in relation to
the testoath feature, by announcing his opposition
to it on reflection, and his willingness to strike
it out"
From this it might seem that had changed my
opinion in regard to the proposition that every man
in the State should take the oath of allegiance to
the State and to the Confederate States. This was
not my position by any means. l argued at great
length, to show that it was eminently right and
proper, principle that the portion of the ordi-
nance providing for taking the oath of allegiance
should pass, and that it would be productive of
great good if received with cordislity and unanimity
by our people. -
admitted, however, that from the temper and
spirit exhibited in the Convention by the opponents

REPORT

Of the Committee to inquire into the Accounts
Contracts and Disbursements Of the Disturbing
Agents Of the State from tie first Of April
last up to tile present time.
The committee to whom was referred the resolu-
ton directing an inquiry and report into the SAC
counts contracts and disbursements of the several
disbursng agents of the State from the first of April
last up to the present time" have given the subject
that consideration which its Importance demands,
and while your committee would not willingly
shrink from the performance of any duty which the
Convention might think proper to impose upon
them, (if in their power to discharge IT'D yet they
must respectfully submit that no committee could
possibly perform the duty assigned to them Gas it
should be done) in the time that the Convention
might reasonably expect to remain in session.
Your committee are unanimous in the opinion
that the objects contemplated in the resolution
Of vast Importance, and demand the full and earnest
consideration of the Convention. Millions Of dollars
of the public money have recently been expended.
An increase in the amount of our annual expendi
lures is but reasonable expectation. These large
amounts are disbursed by various and numerous
officers and agents, disconnected with each other
and without any established supervisionary head
Your committee believe that North Carolina is the
Only government that has no checks or safeguards
thrown around the Treasury, but has heretofore re-
lied upon the honesty and integrity Of her public
servants. That system might do while we were ad-
ministering the government with an expenditure Of
sixty or eighty thousand dollars year, but now,
while we spending many millions annually,
your committee are of opinion that proper checks
and safeguards ought, at once to be established. -
From the examination which your committee have
given the subject they satisfied that 1raud pee
ulztion and maLfeasance will be developed If a
proper and efficient investigation is made into the
conduct of the officers and agents who have been
entrusted with the custody and disbursement of the
public funds Justice to the public interests well
as to the honest and fruitful public officers and
agents, in peratively demands of this Convention
that they should provide {betore the adjournment
for full and fair nvestgationof the past, and
proper checks and safeguards for the future and in
order to accomplish that end, the committee would
most respectfully recommend the passage of the
accompanying Ordinance, and they ask to be dis.
charged from further consideration of the matter
ferred to them.
