sarv stores and provide for secur
ing supplies for destitute families OF SOLDIERS now IN
service, embodying amendments to House bill en-
titled "a bill to provide clothing for N y. troops
and for other purposes. ,,, :,
Mr. Brown opposed the passage of the bill in its
present form, as it created military Offices and
advocated leaving the families of soldiers under the
care of county courts where he was sure they would
suffer no detriment
Mr.. Ellis urged the passage of the bill and express
sed his desire to see soldiers families attended to by
men chosen by the Magistrates of the different coun-
ties He was tired of the administration of the cir
cumlocutiOn officers VINO mad long nelu the reihs at
Raleigh.
Mr.. Graham said he had not given such considera-
ton to the bill as would finally govern his vote
but so far as he had examined it he conceived it to
be unnecessary. 1t contemplated two objects, the
first Military, the second Eleemosynary. As to the
military objects, the provision of clothing for the
troops of the State, according to the contract with
the Confederate Government. these were sufficiently
attended to by Quartermasters already IN commis-
IL fn hn
provisions for necessitous persons in the counties
this was already undertaken by the authority of
the County Courts under the sanction of the Lesis,
ed ature These agencies he thought far better adopt
to the ends in view than those proposed by the bill
The bill was then further discussed by the follow
ing gentlemen:
Messrs. Smith and Eure against, and Messrs. Muir
rill and Carraway in favor.
The House amendment was rejected. Pending
the discussion.
On motion, the Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow.

to the Governor and the War Department. and re-
Inducements asked for. sent orders to Gen. An.
derson to send up Col. Lanes regiment, the only
troops Sufficiently near Wilmington to be available
for the occasion, and replied to Gen. Branch that

that had done all could at GoldSborO' in collect

and were forwarded on the night of the 13:h also
Capt Atwood of the goth regiment with a part of
his company, who, being on furlough, and just ar
rived at Goldsboro', volunteering for the service
were armed and sent down. No other reinforce

Gen. Branch was frustrated by a painful attack of
; illness which confined me to my bed . -...
The news of the fall of Ncwbern reached me on
che evening of the 18th March, Gen. Branchs report
Of that affair has been published. AS it was evident
that we had been overwhelmed by vastly superior
numbers I dispatched Brig. Gen. j. R. Anderson
to Richmond on the 10th of March, to represent to
the President the necessity of sending force sufi
cient to cope with that Of the enemy, and desired
him to say to the President that not having con-
fdence in my health or ability to command such
force, hoped General Of superior rank would be
sent with troops. ...... .....- -..
After the fall Of Newbern, the troops retrcated
by the several roads eading to kinston hence that
place was selected for the re-asselnbing of Gen.
Branchs forces. Gen. French arrived at Goldsboro'
on the 10th, and was sent on the 18th March to
take command of the District of the Pamlico. On
the 18th Clingman's and RadcliH's regiments hav-

On the 2Sth Of October, Col. G. W. Lee, Aide de-
Camp to the President, arrived at Godsboro, with

Of War directed that these troops be held in reserve
