The Abolition Congress.

The abolition House of Representatives, on the
10TH passed bill authoring the dictator, Lincoln,
to collect the outside the ports of the Con-
federate States also, authnrizing his blockade of
the ports, and prohibiting all commercial inter-
course between the Confederate and the United
States. Vaandigham, Voorhees,, and four or five
other Northern members voted against the BILL and
Mr. Crittenden with most of the Kentucky men,
bers, voted for it. Mr.. Vallandigham spoke boldly
and eloquently against the BILL and in favor of a
strict observance of the Constitution.
The two bogus Virginia Senators were sworn in
on the 10th. John W. Forney has been elected
Secretary of the Senate.
A resolution for a national Convention to adjust
pending difficulties between the North and South
was tabled in the House, by vote of 90 to 8.
The Hon. John B. Clark, of Missouri, has been
expelled from the House, in consequence of having
served under the Missouri State law as a soldier.
In the House, on the 16th the bill authorizing
the calling out of the militia to suppress rebellion
was passed.
The military bill authorizing the call for five
hundred thousand troops, was also finally passed.
1t is stated that Mr. Breckenridge spoke in favor of
this bill.

The Last of the Williams

Among the old settlers of this City there were
eight gentlemen named William, all men of enter
prise, position and moral worth, viz: William
White, the first Secretary of State, William Polk
revolutionary Colonel, William Haywood, ST., father
of the late Senator Haywood, William Peck, mer-
chant, William McPheeters first pastor of the Pres
byterian Church. William Hill, for forty years Sec
rotary of State, William BOyan, just deceased, and
William Peace, the only survivor.
Few cities boast of eight men of the same
name, whose venerable persons are more kindly re-
membered, and whose characters have left deeper
impression upon society. One by one, seven of
them have passed away, leaving still in our midst
the eighth, venerable friend William Peace, the
senior of the octave, who yet attends to business
with wonted cheerfulness and promptness and upon
whom age still sits pleasantly. May his shadow lin
ger on the plain yet many years, to remind us Of
the cxcellencics of the eight Williams.

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.
GULIELMUS.
Truly, yours,

THANKs.-The ladies of Louisburg have very
kindly remembered the fifth Regiment at Yorktown,
Va, by sending them large and fine supply of
hospital stores. 1t good deed and the officers
return thanks through the Petersburg Express, on
behalf of the company
BLAME.-Some persons have blamed the news
papers for publishing the accounts of captures on
our coast &c" correspondent of the Petersburg
Express ustifies the course and another correspon-
dent thanks him for it, &c.
NORTH CAROLINA TRooPs.-The Richmond papers
speak in high terms of the appearance of Col.
Fishers Regiment Col Tew's has also passed on,
and ELECTED expressions of eulogy Our neighbors
are good judges. We have many more of the same
sort.
FEDERAL CoNGREss.-It will surprise the people
of this State to learn that the notorious scapegal
lows, Charles Ii. Foster, late of Murfreesboro, N.
c., appears in Washington City as a member of
Congress from the first district The papers state
he has his certificate of election and that the election
was held the 18th of June. That beats the Jews.
CRoPs-From all portions of the country we

GREENSBORO FEMALE CoLLEGE.-The Catalogue
Of this institution shows its hold upon the public
Two hundred and two young ladies were upon its
register for the last year. 1t has an able Faculty.
and is very deserving of patronage Its exercises
will be resumed the last Tuesday in this month.
OREGON INLET.-The Norfolk argus says that the
attack upon our unfinished batteries at Oregon Inlet
was made by five or six Federal barges. No guns
were mounted on our works. After firing at the
earth works, they fired at dwelling and drove out
the inmates. There were rs negroes at work and
one company of Currtuck Volunteers. commanded
by Capt. Lindsay. Had the enemy effected a land
ing, our boys would have given them fits. We
hope Oregon has been reinforced and that cannon
will soon be in position.

are others in Clarke and Washington counties, Ala
bama> switch formerly supplied large portion of

Southern Traitors at Washington.

The Charleston Mercury of the 18th has the fol-
lowing, which we cordially endorse:
There are ridiculous members of the U. S. Con-
gress from Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky who,
like moths to the candle, have rushed to Washing
ton to attend the extra session OF the black Repub
lican Congress. We are sorry to see Mr.. Breckin-
ridge among these estate Of betreenity" politicians.
Now, if Mr.. Breckenridge and the delegates of Ma
ryland, Kentucky and Missouri be honest, they
must not merely denounce Abraham Lincoln and
his Cabinet, and Scott bit they must impeach them,
as Utotdtos Of their trust uSurpers Of despOtac
Poloer, as deStroyers Of the republic IN UiOGtion
Of all laU, all chartered rights: and of all the
po1cers and rights epclusiUely conferred upon Con-
gress. II they do less than this, they are knareS
If they do this they DiU be arrested as disgfected
and suspected men and possibly assassinated; this
being the shortest and surest mode Of getting rid OF
a troublesome question, and of more troublesome
custOmers"
The candidates for President and Vice-President
in 1860 have disposed of themselves or been dis
posed of as follows: Mr.. Lincoln was elected, and
has proved himself knave, fool, and tyrant. Mr..
Douglas opposed coercion in Senate after the cleo
ton, and said war would result in the eternal sepa-
ration of the States but he endorsed Lincolns pro-
clamation, and after died. 1t would have been
better for his fame if he had died before that procla
nation was issued. Mr.. Bell was pronounced I'M
sound on the slavery question during the campaign,
but the proclamation referred to appeared,
he took the strongest Southern ground and advised
war to the death for Southern rights. Mr.. Breckin-
ride was the Southern rights candidate par excellence
The national Democratic party divided at Balti-
more largely by his friends and his account; but
where is he now? Side by side with the mortal
enemies of the South in Lincoln's Congress Gen.
Lane, who ran with Breckenridge, has not redeemed
his promise to draw his sword for the South where
as Johnson who ran with Douglas is engaged in
speaking in Georgia in favor of raising the means by
loans Cd Confederate bonds to carry on the war. Mr.
Everett who with Bell, is urging in the blandest
manner, and with every means of persuasion which
the loftiest eloquence furnish the most savage
and unrelenting warfare against the South. Mr..
Everett is the most elegant and refined devil out Of
pefdition
Behold the trio! Andrew johnson, John G.
Breckenridge and Edward Everett
"Oh, for a tongue TO curse the slave,
Whose treason, like deadly blight,
Comes Der the councils of the brave,
To blast them in their hour of might
Douglas was true to the instincts of his section
but Breckenridge false to the instincts of his, has
shaken hands and taken seats with our mortal enc
mics. " How has the fine gold become dim!'

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Gen. McClellan's official
dispatches announce the death of Gen. Garrett with
200 killed and ], 900 prisoners. Seven guns were

FIVE HUNDRED MORE "FUG1TTE SLAvEs"-A
gentleman who has just arrived from Gloucester
county informs that the Aboltonists at Fortress
Monroe have stolen as many as 500 negroes from
those localities, which forthwith to be sent of
to Cuba for SALE They do not recognize the negroes
as property, they say, but the Southerners do,
therefore the fugtives" are to be disposed of in
order to help to pay the expenses Of putting down
the rebellion" The depredations of the bar6arians
great that families are moving away in horror
and alarm.
Brigadier General Pemberton, who has been
placed in command of the 3rd and 4th regiment of
N. Q. volunteers, and Col Pryors regiment, served
through the Mexican war, and was breveted Major
after the storming of Vera Cruz for his daring ex-
ploits. He is said to be an able officer.
The Confederate war steamer Sumter has carried
six prizes into Cuban ports. The Cuban authori-
ties will hold them until they hear from Spain. 1t
is stated that Seward has demanded of Spain the
surrender of these prizes.
FROM MANAssAs.-From Manassas we learn that
reliable reports were received there Monday that
the enemy were advancing upon our forces and that
ageneral engagement was confidently expected there
yesterday. Our troops in view of such an event,
had been put in complete readiness, and were in the
highest spirits at the prospect of meeting the enemy
We regret to see that the brave Col. Thomas,
who was engaged in taking the steamer St Mich
olas from the enemy, has been captured by Lin
coins men, and is confined at Fort McHenry.

Rally. North.Carolinians.

We have begged that the Volunteers of North
Carolina now being enrolled and who are equipping
and drilling, will not dis5and. We are quite sure
that the authorities sciU not disband Them for the
reason that before the goth of august it cU be seen,
If zee do not mistake, that they 'oU all be needed.
Lincon's forces must be checked in Virginia They
must never be allowed to invade North Carolina
through Virginia; therefore North Carolina must
render Virginia and President Davis all the aid in
her power. She must subscribe literally to the
Confederate States loans and furnish all the men
she can. Ard remember, Lincoln must not be al
lowed to invade US on our sea-coast. We must hare
our batteries there and enough Of them oelLmaRned,
and troops enough at hand TO keep them from land
ing. One or two thousand men, or five thousand,
can easier keep them out than twenty thousand
drive them out after they are in. Look to this.
Again, we must have an eye on our Tennessee bor-
der. Some able experienced tactician should be
put in command at that point, to watch the move
mentS of the Linconites in East Tennessee and old
Abes hirelings whom he will try to send to their aid
What shall be done then? We must wage the
war, but it must be done as cheaply as possible.
We urge upon the people in all the Counties at once
to form volunteer companies wherever it can be
done. Let proper men be appointed as officers.
Let the State furnish them Hardees Tactics and let
them go to drilling quickly. Get cheap uniforms
North Carolina homespun, and let them get ready,
so that at moments warning they can be mustered
into the service of the State Confederate States
This plan will not take them from home nor from
business until they are needed.
We say first, let volunteer companies be formed
for the that infantry, cavalry and artillery
will all be needed. Let the volunteers form compa-
mics of each kind. As soon as the crop is over
10000 cavalry can be formed in the State, and these
armed with the common rife or double-barrelled
gun, pistol, sabre bowie knife, will form terrible
arm of defence Again, all ages able to bear arms
can enter these companies. We need artillery
greatly. Let the Counties get cannon, each, if
more, of six or eight Founders, if the State will
not, and let artillery companies be formed.
Finally, there are some who will not move until
they are compelled. Let the militia law of the last
Legislature be enforced promptly and at once. Re-
organize the militia quickly, and compel every man
according to law to be enrolled and mustered. 1t
must be done and done at once. Virginia has erery
man enrolled at this time and drilled one day eUery
aceek. North Carolina must do it 1t will be soon
too late to grieve over spilled milk.

GROUND PEA On.-Dr. Emmons has shown us
specimens of ground or gouber pea oil, made from
the pea raised by N. N. Nixon, Esq, of New Han
over which is said to be good for the table, and spe
cally adapted to machinery of all kinds The arti-
Gle was first produced and then refined by DR.. En-
mons, and the refined is quite clear and pure. The
yield is about one gallon to the bushel. If it should
turn out trial, that this oil is suitable for ma
chnery, it will add very much to the Importance of
the ground pea culture. We will test it if we can
obtain sufficient quantity to apply to our Adams
Power Press.

Our Coast Defences.

We fear from the recent indications manifested by
the enemy on our coast, that the efficiency of our
defences in that quarter will be fully tested, in
short time Whenever it is done, il will be found
that our anxiety to have the coast well provided
for, was not misplaced. If the suggestions and
plans of Gems Gwynn and Gatlin are being prompt
ly carried out we shall have no fears 1t has been
suggested that President Davis would soon have
suitable officer to examine the entire coast and re-
port but we judge the suggestion was premature,
as it could hardly be expected that he will do so
until the formal transfer of the forts, &c. has been
made We doubt if any one can be found more
competent to survey and determine the proper To-
cality of batteries the number and kind needed the
force to be employed on the coast and every thing
necessary for its complete defence, than Brig. Gen.
Gwynn. His abilities as an engineer are beyond
question, and his success at Charleston and Nor
folk in erecting batteries places his ability in this
regard beyond doubt. Besides, no man in the
country has so thorough knowledge of the history
Of that part of coast lying in his immediate de-
partment as Gen. Gwynn from its first discovery
to the present time. Many years ago, to perfect his
knowledge of coast its condition at the time of
us discovery, us subsequent cnanGeS &C. ne visited
England and had access to all the information fur
nished by the Colonial office. Subsequently, he
surveyed the swamp lands and other localities
bordering on our Sounds and his recent personal
examinations of his entire command must put him
in possession of information which other man
has. His powers of combination, his genius and
personal bravery, fit him for commander and we
doubt ifa Brig. Gen. can be spared for that COM
mand, if one more suitable for the service can be
obtained than Gen. Gwynn.
We learn that his plans of defence are common
surate with the importance and risk of his depart
ment of the coast and go to show that the friende
of Mr.. Smiths bill in the Convention and the Stan
dard were not mistaken in their views in regard to
the large force needed for its defence
