The proceedings of Monday have been crowded
out The most important action was the suspension
Of that part Of the ordinance of the Convention
which disbanded the surplus volunteers on the Goth
instant which might not be accepted by President
Davis, and the continuance Of the Adutant General,
Quartermaster and Conmissary departments till
otherwise ordered by the Legislature. Both orders
were passed by both Houses and enrolled. Any
number of military and stay-law or provisionary
bills for relief are before the General Assembly It
will be seen that the Legislature in its wisdom pro-
poses to dsband and destroy the State Convention

submitting to the people the question whether it

The Permanent Government.

1.ho month Of February next the government of
A.. ronc,de,ate States of America will enterupon the
exercise of all its powers and functions under the Fer
r,ncnt Constitution. The Provisional government,
ca far has been emnently successful. In view of the
obstacles in its way it is difficult to conceive how it
could have been more So Experience may have
brought to light some instances in which errors
have been committed but the wonder is that they
have not been more numerous
The important trusts of the South were commit
ted to men liable to err with weight Of respon-
sbilty, demanding great wisdom, forcthought and
natrotism. Actively connected with the partizan
contests of the country, during one of the most dill
6cult and exciting periods in the history Of Ameri
c,n nolitics it was natural to look-had they been
email men-men of loose patriotism, for the man.
estation ever and anon at least Of partizan spir
It Instances of this spirit may have occurred, bu:
fiat all, they have been rare.
The period is rapidly approaching when the ma
cbnery of the permanent government must be set
in notion For ourself we have repeatedly de-
clared, that during the continuance of the present
war, we were no partizan-would obey no party
dication, or be controlled by any other principle or
purpose than the we'll being Of North Carolina and
of the South.
On these grounds, therefore, with the present
lights before us having entire confidence in the
ability integrity and patriotism of the distinguished
chiefs at the head of the Provisional Government
of the Confederate States and for the further reason
that so far as we can judge, it is the ~iu Of the
people, we now, in advance of suggestions from
clioues, caucuses or conventions-as we have incl
dentaly done repeatedly-declare our readiness,
should they continue, as we believe they will, to
exhibit the same patriotic and antipartizan spirit
which has hitherto marked their course, to give the
honored names of Jefferson Davis and Alexander
H. Stephens our hearty support for the chief Offices
in the permanent Government of the Confederate
States Of America
We desire to witness no conflict of national par
ties nor to be participation in it. SO long as this
war lasts and therefore, believing that the South
should have but one feeling one aim, and one
cause, we could wish that no other should be
brought in conflict with theirs. The South CON-
bned as one man, under the blessing of God is in
vncble-divided, she will become weak and i'm.
potent
United in the prosecution and support Of a COM
mon cause, every man will be left free to the full
exercise of his own judgment, to approve or con
denim any particular opinions, measures or acts O.
the government or its officers.

CoNFIscAr1oN OF SOUTHERN PRoPERTY.-When
old John Brown was on trial, he SAID in reply to
question, that he "intended freely to appropriate
the property of shareholders to carrying out his
object. This is the spirit in which the war is now
waged against the South by Lincoln. His Congress
has just passed an act which confscates all property
used by Southern men in defending their homes and
liberties. This, of course amounts to an attempt to
confscate or steal every dollars worth of property
which the South has, for every dollars worth will
be used if necessary, for purposes of defence Lin
coin is at the head of Of the most unjust wick
ed and rapacious governments in the world. Sure
y the great body Of the Northern people, who have
some conception of the nature and value of Consti-
tutional liberty, cannot when their eyes shall have
been fully opened, longer countenance the usurpa-
tons and wicked conduct of Lincoln.

to our surprise, the left wing of our regiment re-
ceived orders to strike tents, &C., and prepare to
march Immediately. We were soon on a march for
this place. where we arrived about o'clock in the
evening. We are most pleasantly situated here, in
beautiful grove, and like our former encampment
nearly surrounded by water We are only quar-
ter Of mile from the Elizabeth River, opposite
Newport News, and only two miles from Sewell's
Point As there is a fishery only few hundred
yards distant We get any quantity of fresh fish,
free Of charge.
1t would not be well to state Gen. Huger's object
in sending US here. The health of our regiment
now is not so good as it has been. There are sew
eral companies that cannot turn out more than
twenty men, This cannot be attributed to the eli.
mate as nearly all of those that are SICK have either

A scouting party from Newport News, this
morning, exchanged shots with party OF
mounted rebels, about four miles from camp.
Four Vermonters received buckshot wounds,
which were not severe. They tbiDkfhey killed
one and wounded several rebels, who rode
away supporting those that had been hit. There
is little doubt that an important expedition is on
foot, though it will not depart as soon as was
expected. Its destination ia not to be disclosed.
1t is sad to-day that the rebels are throwing up
battery opposite the Rip Raps, as a protection
against the rifed gun which fired the Sawyer
shot into Sewall's Point yesterday.
