SIGNS THE TIMEs.-Seventy-thre Democratic mem
bers Of the New Hampshire Legislature have protested
against the passage of aid Lincoln in prose-
cutting the war against the South.
In a late issue the New York News SAYS:
Eve firmly and earnestly convinced that the
of the people hostile the President, hostile
his Cabinet hostile the usurpatiou of the last six
months, and believe they must if continued, end in
anarchy a military despotsm."
The New York Herald commenting upon the position
of England in regard % IN blockade, says
"What is the duty II the Government and the people
of the free States under these circumstances 1t is
put forth every eor. defeat the rebel army in the
next great battle. If this is done, victory for the
North is certain and the experience have gained
Big Bethel, Bull Run and Davis Creek is in vain.
The next win is rightfully ours and old scores
being TINS wiped out, and the sting of Southern
superiority in extracted let arrangements be
diaey made the restoration Of peace instead of
tnuing insane and suicidal strife for the
of England, France, Spain and all the naval powers
of Europe.
We clip the following significant article from late
Boston Journal:
'The position taken by the Democratic party in the
great States of New York and Ohio in opposition to
the proposal of the Republicans nominate joint tick
cts in favor of the Union and vigorous prosecution
of the war, exctes considerable comment in political

STATE CLAIMS AGAINST THE CoNFEDERAcy-

STATE CLAIMS AGAINST THE CoNFEDERAcY.-
Congress has passed very important bill. 1t
provides for auditing the accounts of the several
States against the Confederacy. These accounts
will, of course, have to be settled upon equita-
bic basis so far as they can be adjudged to have
been incurred in provisions for public defence.
In May last distinct provision was made by
Congress for the expenditures of the State of
South Carolina in defence of the Charleston har-
Dor, the amount of the expenditures to be audited
by the proper officers of the Treasury Department,
The same principle of the equitable adjustment
of State expenditures in the national defence, it
is proposed to apply to other of the Confederate
States.

make 900 suits of winter clothes for soldiers by
the time they needed. The Richmond Examiner
says that the North Carolina wooden factories have
agreed furnish the Government with all the cloth
they make, after furnishing the State the amount
already contracted for. We learn that it is likely this
State will furnish her troops with winter cohng;
if so, the government establishment Richmond can

SALT.-In answer to inquiries about making Salt in
the neighborhood of Wilmington n. c. the Statesvi1e
Express publishes a letter from Messrs T. c. & B. G..
Worth, merchants, saying that the subject has been
discussed by parties in Wilmington who were willing
engage in the business. but investigation it
found require larger amount of capital than it was
thought prudent to risk for if the blockade should
be removed it would ruin the enterprise. They
say that several parties have sent small vessels to
Turks Island and other points for Salt and it is hoped
a supply may be obtained in that way. The risk of
obtaining Salt in this (says the letter. is not as
great as that of engaging in the manufacture.

How is THE STATE TO BE SUSTAINED Pin view of the
passage of stay law by the Legislature, the above
question is pertinent How is the State to get
money to carry the Government We know that
the Banks have loaned the State literally heretofore
but the stay law will materially cramp the Banks and
put it out of their to aid the State much further
The Banks have loaned much of their capital to
individuals and it is probable that those indvid-
uals going to trouble themselves to pay back while
the stay law is in force If the Legislature chooses
pass law which efecually puts dead lock on bust
and the circulation of money bow and where can
the State to raise the funds defray public
penses? We not OF those who entertain a very
vi Tue tOeTdttty DdnkS-llke corpora
tons generally they have but little if any sou-but we
say that the Banks of North Carolina have been
quite liberal the State, always loaning whatever
amount asked for but how the State reasonably
expect these institutions to continue this assistance
when the Legislature passes law, the effect of which
is to protect people in boarding up capital instead
paying their uebts with it?
Besides all this such laws seriously iniure tie agr-
cultural portion of the country. How? Why it
causes merchants to suspend business, and the less
Der of bidders for country produce and the less
petition. Not only so, but the merchants who con-
tnue to do business cannot get the with which
buy the products of the farmer and the farmer will
to the State and Confederate Governments The
merchant can't collect from his debtors and the Banks
can't collect from the merchant. So it is evident that
all laws which interfere with and cramp fair business
transactions prolific of great deal of harm to all
classes without corresponding benefit to any one. If
there stay law. do believe that debtors
would be oppressed if they showed disposition
honestly and secure their creditors. We are opposed
a stay law because feel certain that it will do
harm than good, and that the working and bust
portion of the people do not want
Speaking of the stay law the Fayetteville Observer
correctly remarks: We regard such akin
to the arbitrary acts of the Lincoln dynasty, which
openly violates the Constitution and Laws pleasure
1t is dangerous measure, that will bear bitter fruits

messenger to Yorktown, to pay the members of the

deposit 1000 for the of their Hospital The
Raleigh correspondent of the Fayetteville Observer,
speaking of the passage of this bill says:
{" This act has been passed thus summary and with
absolute unanmiy upon that this reg
ment has received pay, that many of the soldiers
are in a state of great restitution, aid that many are
sick and the Hospital supplied with the medicines
&c necessary for the comfort and of the sick II

the reason why they had not been paid by the Coned-
crate Government is, that the Adjt General has
furnished pay roll to the Confederate Government
and the reason why the djuant General has fur

have not furnished him the of doing So So the
fault to rest with the officers of the regiment.
