The Cove. nor. M. s.are and the Stay Law.


For advanced copies Of these important documents
we are endebed to the courtesy and attention of our
worthy Commonee, Daniel Shaw, Esq, to whom we
again return thanks for many acceptable vours in
this way.
The Governors Message is plain, sensible statement
of as much of the present position of our affairs in
the opinion of the Governor, can be made public with
out injury to the service It's recommendations appear
to be marked by practical sense and WILL ooubt re-
ceive that amour: of attention which their Importance
entities them. We think the Legislature will. in all
probability reenact the law Tor the issue OF treasury
notes. and also make farther provision in relation
to volunteering. Without casting any reflection upon
the action of the Convention the Governor intmates
that such action was taken without &C appreciation Of
the position OF things which time has since developed
Perhaps it would have been asking too much of the
Convention to have required that body to act in view
of future and then unreveaed contingencies These
tingencies having arisen, it remains for the Legs
ature to provide for them. The Convention postponed
the issuing of the Treasury notes authorized by the
Legislature in May last until the LIST of next March
We rather think that one of the for this course
was the statement of Mr. Courts to the Convention that
he could not n the immediate pressure of business de-
vote the necessary time to signing these notes. without
negectng other business supposed to be more urgent
and important. We have already indicated the mode in
which this difficulty can be obvated. No doubt the
Immediate issue will now be authorized and provided
for.
The Stay Law will require careful examinations
Out of it, if not in its precise words will probably be
framed law that will all purposes. We trust

TALKING ABOUT WRONG CREDITS to which we ind
reference made in sundry of exchanges rather
think that there have been about many mistakes Of
this kind made in connection with extracts made from
the Wilmington n c., papers, from those of almost
any other place, arising probably from the close resem
blance in the Typography of the Herald and Journal
We have been somewhat amused and not little annoy
ed sometimes as 20 doubt our town contemporary was,
to find strong union article credited to the Journal
and strong secession one to the Herald, and in old
times big Know Nothing appeals credited to oar hum
BILE selves and peppery Democratic and anti-Know
Nothing articles to opposing neighbours. Well,
that time is over we are at least appear to be ell
of one mind and the appearance is as little deceptive
any appearance can be, we think. But now unfor-
tunatey the Heral is dead at least suspended during
the war; and we do object to articles being credited
to it, SINCE there be any responsibility thereto
ed we do not wish to shuttle it off uron our friend
Waddel who has gone to fight the battles of his coun
try, especially as he has row chance to commit
editorial foes and have them charged to our account
by way of set-of. Our Norfolk and Portsmouth ex
changes will please take notice. that for present there

We are indebted to Messrs. Harriss & Howell, the
Agents in this place. for lily printed pamphlet copy
of the Eleventh Annual Report of the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company. Incorporated Janu-
airy, l849. Printed by W. W. Holden, Raleigh.
The only marked feature of this report differing from
previous reports is probably contained in the two sub
Joined resolutions:
Resoued l. That all insurers in this Office may enter in
to active military service against the late United States
giving notes annually for two per cent extra the amount
insured said to be deducted from the Insured
in of death PrOUlded hOecer That the insurer may
discharge said note at any time BY paying one half its
amount.
Resoued 2. That all slaves insured this Office may be
employed in the military service against the late United
Statesthe owner paying one per cent extra on the amount
insured.
We really think that institutions like this known to
be of high character located home contributing to
the security and advancement of home interests ought
to commend themselves at all times to the attention of
our people, to the total exclusion of Northern and un
friendly and foreign institutions and enemies.

We REGRET to learn that the health of our soldiers at

portion of the sickness in the lower peninsula is due to
