Mr.. Smiths Ordinance.

We publish in another column the ordinance OF
r. Smith, of Halifax, passed by the Convention on
day last 1t proposes as will be seen, the most
a. and ready means of affording assistance to
r,o. aboard defences in an emergency, which can
ue made.
Weregrct that any one should have felt called
upon to oppose the BILL yet strange to say, its op
posers fought It bravely to the bitter end but q
very decided majority Of the Convention marched
boldly forward and passed it.
The ordinance commends itself to the approval Of
all; first because the exposure of the Eastern coun
ties to Invasion from the enemy is imminent. We
never expect Lincoln to fight bis way through Vir-
gipia to the North Carolina line. We believe that
every man in North Carolina that can be spared,
will rush to the defence Of Virginia, and contest
every inch Of ground with the enemy. Hence, the
only point of easy access to the enemy, without a
sufficient force to repel him at the outset, is the
seaboari. Secondly, as the people Of the East de-
sired to do so, the most NATURAL cheap and safe way
of securing rs protection, was to raise the troops
first required mr. that purpose in the Eastern coun
ties. Their own homes and iresides were most ex
posed, and they we're the most natural and proper
defenders Of them
If the bill had opposed to raise the troops from
the mountains or pNcmiscuousy from the State, we
should have opposed it, for the reason, that none
but men raised i, our Eastern counties could hope
to escape bilious ever and almost certain death, in
