THE ACTION OF THE CONVENTION. The N.
c. Convention has agreed to take a recess from
Tuesday the 25th inst. until the 2lst of April,
unless sooner convened h5 the President. The
Convention passed an Ordinance to pay North
Carolina's portion of the War Tax from the State
Treasury and collect it from the people hereafter
We think this is unfortunate act of the Con-
pared to pay the tax than they will be for
eral years hereafter, and we think most of them
had made arrangements to pay and would do it
willingly. The amount will have to be collected
at some time and we fear at time when the taxes
for State purposes are the highest. If any Of the
counties are rendered unable to pay by reason of
invasion, the State might have assumed the pay
ment Of the tax for those counties and collect it
from them hereafter. But most of the coun ties
are ready and should have been allowed to pay
The action of the Convention will cause trouble
and distress hereafter.
The Convention also passed an Ordinance to pay
a bounty of $50 to volunteers for the war. This,
added to the bounty of $50 offered by the Confed-
crate Government, makes one hundred dollars for
each soldier who volunteers for the war. This
bounty is also to be paid to those already enlisted
deducting the ten fifteen dollars paid them here
tofore. This liberal proposition is made in order
to avoid draft, which will have to be resorted to
unless the required force is soon obtained. We
will publish the ordinance in full as soon as we
obtain a copy.

OUR SoLDTERs.

The N. Z. Convention adopted the following
resolutions, 'l introduced by Mr.. Graham sgs5is
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Conven-
tion 1t is OF the utmost Importance in the existing
war; that our country shall not lose the services of
the gallant volunteers of this State, at the ex-
p'ratlon ct their present term of twelve months,
and that such incentives to re-enlist should be
held out to them as may induce their return to
the army, after brief interval for visiting their
homes
Resolved, That the Congress Of the Confederate
States Should offer such inducements in bounties
Of money and public land devoving to them from
the United States within the States of the Con-
federacy and in the Territories, and in pensions,
or In case of death, disability, and long terms of
service, to volunteers ensting for the war, as will
procure the return of those Injured to the service,
and shall prevail with others to follow their
example in filling up the ranks of the army
Resolved, That any volunteers of this State re-
enlistingin in the service as herein proposed should
have the privilege of choosing their company Off
GERS by companies, and their regimental officers by
the comni issoned offcers and in forming regi-
ments the companies heretore associated should be
kept together, where they are filled up in con-
venient time; and any companies should be
added to the regiment having nearest its com pie
ment, when such new company shall be received
into service.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
transmitted by the Secretary of this Convention
to the Senators and Representatives of this State
In the Confederate Congress, with a request that
they bring the subject embraced in them to the
the consideration of Congress-

HARD FATE.-Among the officers captured
at Roanoke Island, was Lieut.. Loyal Of Norfolk,
Va, whose fate has been peculiarly hard. In the
L. S Navy he was on foreign station when the
war broke out. When his ship arrived in the U.
S., he was arrested and sent to Fort Warren,
where he remained for several months. Four or
FIVE weeks ago he exchanged, returned to
Norfolk, and was forthwith married to accom-
pished lady Of Norfolk, to whom he had been en-
gagged for seven years. He reported for duty, was
sent to Roanoke Island in command Of battery,
and after holding out as long possible was forced
to surrender, and may now again take up his quar-
ters in Fort Warren.

The cAaroctcr Of tie Var he Frontier.-
We find the following in recent issue of the Lit
tie Rock (Ark Democrat: -b
"At no point on the war frontier have the fed
eral troops committed so many outrages, or waged
so cruel relentless a III Missouri and the
Indian line. Property has been stolen wanton-
ly destroyed women outraged, towns burnt and
gnen murdered in cold blood The Kansas Jay
hawkers boaSted, some months ago, that they took
no prisoners Well authenticated instances are
mentioned of murders of females in cold blood for
the expression of patriotic sentiments. In one
case, coWardly wretch shot his own sster-in-law
dead because she sueered at the want of courage
in the federal troops. The most reckless and
abandoned Of all Lncolns troops have got together
in Kansas aud northwest Missouri, for the openly
avowed objects of murder and plumber. From the
commencement of the war until now, the conflict
on the border has become and more ferocio1s,
until it has almost become war Of cxtermnatiou.

WHIsKEY.-The panic of the whiskey dealers,
in Richmond on the seizure of Corn by the govern
ment, has extended to Petersburg. We learn
from the Express that fair to good article can
now be bought at s6 per gallon, which is little
more than most lovers of the beverage are willing
to pay for it. The Express says that the act Of
Congress, authorizing the seizure of purchased
for dstilline, gives satisfaction to all who favor

THE WAR FEELING in THE COUNTRY

We have convincing and multiform proof that
the people of the South especially the great rural
population, was never more resolved than they are
now to fight out the to the bitter end. The
effect OF this determined feeling is seen in the
growing determination to re-enlist, which is found
to prevail in every regiment of our volunteer
army. Parents and kindred at home are writing
patriotic letters to the young men in camp, who
are responding to their appeals in the most graft
flying manner. lt is not the volunteers who are
much to be appealed to in this case as their
kindred at home. If these latter do but say the
word there is not one volunteer in ten who will
not re-enst. 1t is said that some Of the officers
in the field are discouraeing re-enlistmcnts in
their companies and regiments, desiring them
selves pretext to leave the service of their
country. The officers who would act so base
part would have joined the service at all, if
they had not, by mistaken use of the appointing
power, been seduced isto the service by tempting
commissions. But ten times stronger than the
influence Of these unworthy characters is that of
appeals from home. Let but this latter influence
be eXerted by patriotic fathers, mothers, and
young women, and the cause Of the country will
be safe beyond contingency.
Really, the inducement is very great indeed |
which urges farmers and yeomen to exert this
influence upon their sons in camp. If the Yam
KEGS should succeed, as they now aim to do, in
fastening their enormous debt upon the South, |
even in equal share with themselves, our country
is utterly ruined. The land would literally groan
under taxation, and scarcely any man could call
himself solvent, for scarcely any of the leading
pursuits of the country would get through the
year without debt after paying taxes. Submission
to the enemy would be ruin outright; and our
farmers and planters have nothing to do but to |
fight the battle through to the bitter end. This |
they are more determined upon now, if possible,
than at any former period of the war.

DIsTILLERIEs.-It is said that thirty five new
distilIeries have gone up in this (Cleaveland)
county since last gathering. These institu-
tons have raised the price of corn and boarded it
up so much that there is now great difficulty in
buying corn at anything like reasonable price;
we mean reasonable when we reflect how much
corn was made last year-enough to do two years
if it had been properly cared for. There should
be something done we say, to prevent this whole
sale conversion of corn into whiskey at this time.
We have war upon us, and this year our men may
be all called to the field, and but small crop
made, and then we will need this staff of life.
Wh;skcy won't do us then. We hope some
action will be taken to stop it, for it is bad policy
to say the least of it.-Shclby Eoyle.

TIE TAXES IN ENGLAHD COMPARED WITH Our
OwG.-The London Tines and other journals Of
England have had great deal to say in regard
TO The enormous taxes that we will have to pay.
Wait, says the London Times, until the tax
CATERER comes around, and then it will be soon
manifest that tie people will not stand the
enormous burden OF The war. These writer's do
not seem to comprehend that our taxes imposed
by Congress are in reality much lighter than
those which the people Of Great Britain have
been compelled to submit to for the last half cen
fury or more to keep their aristocratic govern.
ment in operation. Tie return made on the
2Gth Of last May Of the amount Of receipts by the
customs duties and taxation in Great Britain
exhibits the fac. that their revenues from taxes
from various sources amount to over two hun
bred and thirty-six millions Of dollars, aside
population Of less than thirty millions. All
that is contemplated to be raised by our go
vernment by direct tax under the recent law
is one hundred and fifty millions Of dollars
or nearly one hundred millions less than the
tax imposed upon the citizens Of Great Britain;
while our entire population is two millions
larger, including slaves, and only about one
million and q half less without the slaves. The
subjects of John Bull have. therefore, to submit
to tax Of upwards Of eight dollars per head,
whilst we will have d tax imposed Of only four
and q half dollars per head.
Would not the London Tines and kindred
journals exhibit little more taste, as well as
common sense, If they turned their attention q
little more to home affairs, and endeavored to
relieve the burdens Of their own people, before
they shed crocodile tears for our suferings !?
We can carry on the war two years longer, and
then have lighter taxes than England at the
present time. This the London editors could
readily see did not their philanthropy, like
Grecley's for the negro, confno itself entirely
to distant objects, and blind them to the events
al their own doors.

GOLD AND SIvyR.--Most Of our readers will
remember that there was great excitement
few years after the discovery of the California
and Australia gold fields. when the yield Of
the precious metal was from three to four mil.
lions per month. over the apprehension that
gold would soon become q drug on the market
and Of less value than silver. Many fnanciers,
who pretended TO be very wise, commenced
boarding silver, under the idea Of an ultimate
great rise in value, and would as soon take
bills as gold for 1t. The events since that ne
Rod prove how little these financial men con.
troll such matters. Gold has not only not de-
preciated In value---altlough it, increase is q
hundred, and perhaps thousand fold greater
than slver-but 1t, on the other hand sells to-
day for twenty per cent premium, whilst silver
only commands twelve per cent. The same
class Of men who were In great tribuation
about gold becoming drug on the market are
now predicting all manner Of financial disasters
in regard TO the currency OF tho government
Future events viii no doubt show that they are
Just as wise now as they were in reference 70
the value Of gold and silver All such oues-
tons Of finance and value of money are con-
trolled by social and political events. II ut
terly impossible for any set of men In Wall
street or elsewhere 70 determine their value
"sey may get UP an excitement and cause
sudden fuctuaiion; but that has no effect upon
the ultimate value, no more than did the excite
ment over the prospect Of gold becoming Of loss
value than silver.

THE Issue OF POSTAGE STAsrs.-The sales Of
postage stamps at the New York Post Office
yesterday amounted to no less than twenty
thousand dollars. The sales for several days
previous ranged from ten TO twelve and ff-
teen thousand dollars. All the stamps SO sold
were gummed on the back. Prior to the
use Of these stamps IS currency the daily sales
at the Post Office did not exceed two thousand
dollars. Now, the new law has become 20
popular, and the want OF small change so Sc
verely felt, that aperfect rush has been made
on the Post Office for stamps. So great has been
the demand that the Postmaster in this city, an
ticipating an exhaustion of his supply, yester-
day telegraphed to Washington to know how
he should act. The following is the reply ho
received.

Thus the public will in future only be sup
piled with the same amount Of stamps daily
as before the new act was passed. This is
done with the intention Of keeping the trans
actions Of the Treasury and Post Office depart
Inents distinct and separate. The Post Office
Department Is not authorized to issue stamps
for currency, but only for postal uses. On the
lst Of August next the Treasury Department at
Washington will issue the new stamps intended
for circulation as currency. These will be
finely engraved and printed upon such peculiar
paper that they cannot DO countcrfeited. They
will he thick and without gummcd backs, 80
that they can be used with more facility. In
the meantime those who are boarding silver for

gone, and presently we shall have as much
small change as we can desire. Stamps will he
