At a meeting Of the Council of State, held at the
Executive office on the lst day Of October, 1861
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, Since our last meeting it hath pleased
the great Ruler of the Universe to remove his Ex.

usefulness in our midst; therefore,
Resotced, That we take this opportunity to ex-
press our high appreciation of the personal worth,
high official merit exalted patriotism, and distin-
gushed ability of our late Chief Magistrate, and to
render our grateful tribute to his memory.

Tie Affair of Hatteras.

"To plant batteries on exposed stuations-open
to attacks from the sea- where the enemy is all pow
erful, and where we have no means of defence-is
almost equivalent to inviting them to come, take and
destroy. 1t is an error to give the enemy an op-
portunity Of using his fleet where this danger may
be avoided. But, If we are to choose outer posi-
tons ON the very edge of the sea, approachable by
his men,of:war, then, in Heavens name, let the
armament in these positions, be fully equal to any
which the assailant may bring against them"
We clip the above from the Charleston MercurH
because of its sound sense and for the reason that
to our knowledge very similar suggestions were
made to our authorities over four months ago.

WOODEN SnoEs-We were shown some days ago
several beautiful specimens of wooden shoes made
at the factory of Mr.. P. THEM, of this city. Mr..
T. has applied for, and no doubt by this time has
obtained patent right for their manufacture. We
have known that among some few farmers of Orange,
Person and other countless that wooden soles were
seen nothing in the shape Of a wooden shoe entire
in this country. In northern Germany, Sweden
and Russia they are in common use, and at this
crisis when leather is so scarce, wooden shoes will
be desideratum. They are very neat, and Mr.. I.
thinks they can be made at low price and well
suited for working hands.

The Latest News.

The Latest News.
General Zee pictorious- Rosencrants defeated and
anorttsty nuunded-the HessiGns IN futt retreat
for Ohio, DC. s.
Under the head of "war items" the reader will
find the latest intelligence from Kentucky, Missouri
and New Orleans. The intelligence from Gen. Lee
by the way Of Norfolk ola Maryland and Ohio, IS OF
character to excite the highest qualification and
fully meets the expectations heretofore excited OF
brilliant success from his well known high military
skill 49, --s. ~ ''.=sE e'e'
But is not the news too good to be true? The
papers endorse the character of the person VINO
brings the intelligence. The account is from North
ern sources and we are inclined to give credit at
the retreat of the Federal army.
The Norfolk Day Book says it is informed by Mr.
H. D. Crockett, a Virgnian who wasataken prisoner
at the battle of Rich Mountain, and who has just
been released on parole and who came by the way
of Baltimore and Fortress Monroe, that on Thurs
day the 26th ult Gen. Lee was attacked by Gen.
Rosencrantz in his entertainments at the Big Sewell
Mountain. Gen. Lee had the forces of Gen. Wise,
portion of Gen. Floyds and of his own, and with
other reinforcemshts amounting to about 1000
men. R6sencrantz had from IL to $4,000. The
engagement was severe one, and renewed by Ro-
sencrantz after being several times repulsed. The
loss of Gen. Rosencrantz was supposed to be very
large. Gen. Lees loss is supposed to be small.
Mr.. Crockett learned that Gen. R. was mortally
wounded and had been carried to Wheeling, and
that the entire Federal force was retreatng to the
Ohio. That at Clarksburg, Philippa and Beverly
the Yankee troops had committed great outrages-
and had threatened to set them on fire before their
retreat. .-a
These facts Mr. G. learned, he says, from respec-
table sources ON his way from Columbus to Balti-
more The reader must remember however, that
our reports from the Valley Army have too often
proved untrue.
OK THE PoroMAc.-President Davis is with the
Army of the Potomac. At Manassas he addressed
Mississippi Regiment and told them that an i'm
portant work Was before them, and he had come to
bear his part with them. He should not tell them
to "go," but to follow" He was received with
great enthusiasm. Cur troops had fallen back to
Fairfax, the Yankees had followed them partially,
but returned to their entertainments on Monday
last. Falls Chttrch had been burned by the Hes
slams, and they had committed thehs upon the Mt
Vernon farm. The impression seems to prevail
that great events are to come off soon on the Po-
tomac.
Gov. Harris of Tenn. has called for 900 ad-
ditional volunteers The Kansas ruffians are said
to be marching upon Arkansas Gen. Ruckner, Of
KY, was carrying every thing before him. Mr..
Breckenridge is said to be in for the fight on the
side Of the South. Many arrests are taking place,
and the foot of despotsm is showing itself fully in
Kentucky. Gov. McGoffin had been ordered to be
arrested, but he had made his escape.

The Western Counties.

The doubts which some evil surmsing persons
have INDUCED in regard to the loyalty and genuine
Southern feeling Of the population of our Western
Counties, have been most signally rebuked and re-
futed by the almost universal uprising and out.
pouring of their thousands of brave soldiers. who
have rallied to the cause of the South In no part
OF the State has the patriotism of the people burned
with greater ardor than in the West. No where is
there more determined purpose to resist to the
last extremity, the unbridled tyranny and despot
ism of Lincoln.
In the Counties bordering on Tennessee, where
there are but few slaves, and where was supposed
to exist BY those evil surmsers, strong sympathes
for the old Union, the patriotism of the people, is
ifpossible, more fervid than elsewhere. Thousands
of their brave men are in the field, and thousands
more stand ready to answer to the call of the coun-
try. Nor have our Western brethren been choice
as to what point of danger or 6uty their services
were demanded Whether IN the malaria of the
lowlands of this State, Virginia at Yorktown, at
Manassas, or in the Valley, they have gone with
ready will to beat back our foe at all points
Our Eastern people hail with enthusiasm as breth-
rem our western soldiers in Col. Cngman's, COL
Campbelrs, Col. Lanes and other regiments, who
have gone to their assistance Nor can they ever
forget them. But we We're hardly prepared, after
such an outpouring from the West, to hear of the
formation of another regiment at Asheville so soon
after the fine regiment commanded by Col. Cling
man left, as the Asheville Neacs speaks Of From
that paper we learn that on the 25th ut, the 2sth
regiment, or more properly the 18th regiment N.
G. Volunteers was organized by the election of
Robert B. Vance, of Buncombe, Colonel; VIM. C.
Walker, of Cherokee, Lieut. Colonel; and j. B.
Gardiner, of Yancey, Major. These are admirable
selections we doubt not. This regiment is COM
posed of men entirely from the west of the Blue
Ridge. And yet we hear that another regiment is
about to be formed at Jefferson, in Ashe County
