DEEDS OF HEaoIsa.-The Montgomery DAILY
Advertiser, in concluding an editorial upon
the de; Is of ,rTonal heroism which the war
has developed, says
But i is not alone on the battle field, amid
the roar OF the cannon, the crash of charging
squadrOns, and the rafting of iron hail that
true heroiSrh is displayei. On the hills and il
the valleys; in the homes where peace and
Contentment has here tofOre reiguei, may of
ten be found examples 0fmoral herOism which
wonld put to the blush many whose acts are
mnCh more widely heralded. These deeds
consist OF sacrifices made for The causes Teri
hces none can appreciate save those who make
them. For their reward they can look only
to IN approving conscience ard the smil- OF
IN approving God. There are thousands who
have given up the stay of their Ginning
years, the projectors of their homes, and de-
rriyed themselves of every luxury, tor the
purpose Of aiding the causa of the S)uth =
Their names may not be men toned in histo-
ry, but in the great Book of eternal remem-
orance they will occupy Il place not inferior
TO those whom a world delights to honor.

THE STAY LAW-No. L.

Mn. HOLDEN
DEAR SIR: From the caption of this article, it
will be presumed that your correspondent proposes
to discuss State and Confederate laws-not so much
to speak OF the hnrmony that may characterize the
deliberations of the two legislative bodies to call
attention to one or two instances, in which there
seems to exist inconsistency if not antagonism.-
On The Goth of August, 1861, the Congress Of the
Confederate States approved "Sequestration" act,
which, among other things, provides for the collec
ton Of all monies due from the citizens of the Con-
federate States. to "Alien Enemies" Our repre-
sentatives in Congress, Tin which body there are
minds inferior to none in Amcrica,) conceived the
propriety and necessity of passing such law, to
indemnify the citizens of the Confederate States.
we'll as to raise money to assist in defending the
cause of the South. l apprehend that no true
Southerner who is appraised of the manner in which
our people and property are treated at the North,
disapproves of this act; nor do suppose that any
Legislative body, aehose poeers are prescribed by
State Constitutions, would directly and emphat-
icaity denounce ii. No, such presumption will
not be manifested even by the Legislature Of North
Cardinal From policy, that august body refrains from
the exercise of power which it arrogantly believes
it possesses viz: to disregard repeal suspend and
veto all laws emanatng from any Legislative body
or tribunal whatever. Is there not exhibition
of rnnity and presumption in re-enactng farce
entitled the Stay Lac" which was received with
so little applause, VIXEN first the public floor was

What class of men at the South owe the greater
portion of the debt due Alien Enemies ~ The
merchants most assnredly. The act of Congress
referred to- says, they shall pay the money into the
Treasury of the Confederate States What class of
men in North Carolina has the greater amount of
money due them, the collection OF which will be re
tarded lin fact rendered impossible) by the "Stay
Law" ratified on the lth September, 1861? The
merchants beyond all question. The Legislature
of North Carolina, composed of gentlemen of high
legal attainments, shrewd and experienced fnan-
ciers, and ,ceU acquainted aoh the necessities of
their constituents by abolishng the County Courts,
one term of the Superior Court, disseminating one
branch of the latter entirely, and suspending every
statute that enabled creditor to get money, by
any process of law in time to comply with the re-
9urelnents Of the "Sequestration" Act, says vrtu-
ally, we dsapprove of the law, and intend that SO
far as North Carolina is concerned the Treasury Of
the Confederate States shall not be enriched, and
! the cause of Southern Independence shall not be
advanced by the 'Sequcstration" Act.
