Senator DouyIas,s ChiIdren,

The North Carolina relatives of the children of
the late Senator Douglas sent agent to the North
to secure their emigration South. He has just re-
turned without success, in consequence of the refu-
sal of Mrs. Douglas to whose care the dying father
confided them. 1t is understood that some months
ago she was willing to the removal, the object being
to save their large property in the South, which
would otherwise come under the operation of the
Confederate sequestraton law We understand she
now says that the property will soon be saved by
the speedy trumphal advance of the " Grand Army"
which in few weeks will have taken possession of
North Carolina. BY thus adopting the miserable
deluson of the Northern braggarts, she sacrifices
the interests of her step-chdren.- Richmond En-
quirer
We conversed with the agent, Capt Yudy, on his
return FROM Washington. Mrs. DIS refusal to per-
init the children to come South is to be regretted.
1t would be hard to deprive these Innocent children
of their inheritance Their mother was Southern
woman, and their father a staunch friend Of the
South up to within few months preceding his
death. Judge Douglas first wife was a native of
Rockingham, Miss Martini in this State and his
second wife was Miss Cults, of Washington City.

WAR TAx.-The action of several of the LegiSla-
ton to assume the payment Of their quota of the
War tax out of the State Treasures so as to relieve
the people from the burden Some few Of the States
perhaps can do so, without much difficulty. and
there is strong desire among people that our
State Convention should make similar arrangement.
We doubt not that every member of the Convention
would be glad to effect it, if it be possible. But
when we remember that MOI tn Carolina has an ex-
pensive war department of her own. and that she
has agreed to clothe, equip and furnish blankets to
all our soldiers in the field, and that her sole reliance
to do this upon the issue of Treasury notes bear
ing interest Of per cent, it will require prodi
gouS shrewdnesS in fnancering for the State to pay
in addition 81 O00 000 supposed to be her quota Of
the war tax, in gold and silver or IN Confederate
notes. Confederate notes will soon be abundant in
the State; our people can get them for what they
have sell for good bank notes, but the State
not obtain them in exchange for Treasury notes and
it has already borrowed of the Banks all 1t OBJ
tain from them at present. What the Convention
will do in such case it is difficult to determine,
but the safe for the people is to make their
arrangements to pay the tax in May Some of our
more Southern sisters have always been camorous
for direct tax, and yet the first opportunity they
have to try it, they staye it of. We judge il the
people pay this tax and we get through the war
soon, we shall not hear so much said in favor of d.
rect taxation.

Capt. George w, Hayes.

We were pleased to see Capt Hayes in town on
thursday, on his way to Cherokee on business con-
hected with his regiment-the I'd Cavalry Col.
SPrulIl. There are six companies of this regiment
at this time at Newbern.
We learn that an effort has been made by some of
capt Hayes political enemies to injure his good
name by charges of improper conduct against him
IN purchaslng cavalry horses. We happen to know
tut We have seen the document-that Capt Hayes
acted strictly under the orders of his Major in
making his purchases; and we learn also that his
conduct has been approved by the Quartermaster.-
Inc TACT is, he purchased lot of horses at cost of
GU less for each than has been paid for many other
horSeS purchased by others for the State; and we
learn that none of his horses were condemned but
"O' which were injured accidentally after they were
purchased. Capt Hayes courts investigation, and
ueneS the malice of his enemies. He has the con-
nuence and love of his men, and he and they will
make their mark on the enemy if an opportunity
presents itself
Honest men, like George W. Hayes, will always
una defence and protection in our columns, but we
nave no sympathy and no mercy for those who cheat

The Latest News.

The papers by the last mails are teeming with the
news from England. The excitement in Europe is
intense yet the Northern papers have been careful
to extract largely from the English and French prints
which apologize for or defend the course of the Lin
coin government
We see no confirmation of the rumor above no.
ticed in extra Of Thursday last that Mr. Adams,
the Lincoln minister at the Court of ST. James had
demanded his passports upon the issue of the Queen
proclamation, and we are inclined to think the dis
patch premature.
. The steamer City of Washington from Liverpool
brings news thr-e days later than that of the Europa
and it is possible that the Yankees have suppressed
important items brought by her. 1t is said that
Louis Napoleon has rendered his offices as media
, tor between England and Lincoln.
The friends o! the South in England and France
express no doubt of the speedy recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. Gen. Scott, the old dotard
had published letter with the view of calming the
excitement. There is no room, however, to doubt
that England has demanded the restoration of our
ENJOYS, and that she will maintain the demand
promptly. Her people will not allow her to back
down.
The effect of the news in New York caused a con-
siderable rise in the price Of cotton
We have no intelligence from Washington. The
British bearer of dispatches to Lord Lyons, was due
in that city on the 18th. -
The Richmond Enquirer mentions the rumor Of
another battle near Leesburg in which the Coined
crates had captured 400 Yankees but does not vouch
for its accuracy. There is no other news from the
I Potomac or the Peninsula
b. 1t is said that the Yankees now occupy Beaufort
and Port Royal Island with g. 600 troops. They are
erecting batteries Federal launch it is said, was
fred into by our troops, and seven Yankees were
killed. A portion of the forces had been sent to

session Of the Convention to inquire into the expe
diency of extending encouragement 70 the manufac-
ture of oil cloth in this State had the subject under

while the committee duly estimate the Importance
and value of this article especially at this timc and
while the samples submitted to their inspection ap-
pear to be very good and in every respect superior
to other samples which they have seen, manufac-
tured in the Confederate States; yet such is the
variety of manufactured articles Of prime necessity
which also claim the attention of the government,
and difficult would it be to discriminate justly and
properly between them, that they concluded to re-
commend no appropriation for the object referred to.
They take pleasure however, in bearing their testi
mony to the industry ingenuity and skill manifested
by the manufacturer, Mrs Jane Wilson, of Raleigh,
in the samples submitted to them, and express the
opinion that the process by which she manufactures
this article is, in Itself valuable They also take
occasion to commend this process, and SIch supplies
as Mrs Wilson may furnish of this article, to the
favorable consideration of the Quartermasters De-
