TREASURY NorEs.-On Wednesday last, the Con-
venron by large majority, passed an ordinance
proyilinr that the interest attached to the three
millions Of treasury notes ordered TO be issued at
the last session. shall be stricken out We learn
that about 1928 900 of these interest bearing notes
have already been issued by the Treasurer, and OF
course, as provided by the ordinance just passed,
these notes will be continued in circulation and the
interest paid on them at maturity. The main
reason for striking out the interest was that the
Banks declined to receive the ntereSbeaTing notes.
This Distracted their circulation among the people;
and the Convention, it was thought had no alterna-
tive but to strike out the interest and place these
notes on the same footing with those previously
issued If the credit of the State should be as well
sustained by notes without as with interest the
fact will gratifying, and a considerable amount
of interest will have been saved

ARMs.-The scarcity of good muSkets and rifles is
seriously felt at this time throughout the Coneder
cy. Perhaps our greatest lack end the speed
ily, is good fire arms We are, however Of opinion
that no State feels this want more deeply than North
Carolina When we had arms they were generously
distributed other States but now that the State
needs them it is difficult to obtain them. Weunder-
stand that there persons in the upper counties Of
the State, buying up all the rifles and other arms
which can be found to carry tuen out of the State
These persons profess to have commissions from the
Confederate government to purchase arms. Who
has seen their authority? Is Gov. Clark aware Of
this and is it done by the consent of the author-
tesG If our people have arms to sell, We admOnish
them to sell ony-to the proper Agents of this State
The State needs and wants them.

The Militia.

The probability that the Burnside expedition
was intended to operate our coast, led the au-r
thorities we suppose some ten days ago more, to
notify the Colonies of some thirty three Counties
lying east of Raleigh, to summon the militia by
companies together for the purpose Of securing and
having enrolled either by volunteering or draft one
third Of the whole militia in those Counties to be
prepared in an emergency to meet at moments
warning. This order, made privately to the Colo
nels, unaccompanied with explanations or reasons
for the call, has caused good deal Of excitement,
as was to have been expected-which full explain
alton of the reasons and necessity for the CALL would
doubtless have prevented .- ..t
We cannot doubt the readiness of our people to
answer the call of the State to fly to her defence,
whenever adequate exists for the call and
yet the complaints as well as the backwsrdness Of
the people to roluRtcer for the States defence in
some sections, might lead some to question their
patriotism. In some Counties, we are glad to say,
more than the requisite numoer have volunteered,
but in others it has been quite different This
persuaded was owing to the general impression that
the call was not strictly necessary-was not made,
as usual by proclamation, and because many thought
OH without arms,
ammunition, or tents, any of the usual prepare
tons for the field.
The object appears simply to have been to have
one-thrd of the militia properly organized and as
well prepared as possible, to meet the emergency
which might arise. Of tho propriety or manner Of
the CALL under the circumstances, we express no
opinion.
1t may, however, be of interest to our readers to
know, that we learn from a letter addressed to Hon.
S. II. Rogers, by Adjutant General Martin, that all
persons who volunteer for the war are exempt from
tie draft and are excused even if they have been
drafted The State and the country demand the
services of all who can possibly go to the field
Should it turn out to be true, that the enemy
will, in short time attack our exposed coast, we
hope no man who shoulder gun will hesitate
to fly to the rescue. The enemy must be met
and resisted at the threshold. Many of our
noble boys are there to meet him, to conquer or
or die. Will any be laggard unwilling to bear
with them the brunt Of the contest? We hope not.

Chatham CoaIfieIds Road.

We are graufed to be able to state that the Con-
vention will most probably take the necessary steps
to connect the coal and iron mines in Chatham with
the Railroads Of the State The ordinance now
pending provides for an exchange between the Com
pany and the State Of the bonds of solvent corpora
tions for treasury notes, to be used in making the
improvement
This is an enterprise of the first Importance to
the State. The mineral resources of the region
referred to should be developed as soon as prac-
ticable; and besides is neeed and must be pro-
duced There are immense quantities of the ore in
the Deep River country and the proposed Road will
greatly aid in producing ron and in bringing out
resources of various kinds for the benefit Of the
State.
We believe the ordinance will be passed, and TIE
Road speedily constructed. The eye of the CSn-
federate government is already, on this region. 1t

ENGLAND AND FRANcE.-Our Commissioners have
doubtless this arrived at their pests and entered

The apparent activity Of Lincoln in pushing OH
the war during the winter indicates the conviction
that what they can do to damage us must be done
quickly, otherwise the interference of European
powers in the quarrel, will so strengthen our hands
as to remove it out of his power to do us harm.
1t is said, that the British papers now speak of
Lincoln's government as the Northern govern
ment" and not as the United States. Of the read
mess of France to acknowledge our independence,

some Of them have not started. A con-
siderable number of them are under or.
ders to march this morning, and probably
within two or three days all those going
will have departed The roads between
this place aud Lebanon are almost impas-
sable. Fifty teams are said to be this
side of the Gasconade River, waiting for
the water to subside. There is a rumor,
but not generally believed, that Price han

curing in the manner proposed by the res
olution. He said it was well to get all the
light possible before enacting laws bind
ing on the people, Mr.. Brown has the
reputation Of being sound lawyer, and
be certainly is a good debater, and has
much influence in the Senate. Mr.. Teter,
of Keokuk county, defended himself
against, what he termed, the unjust and
nngenerons criticism Of the Senator from
Dubuque. He said he had offered the
resolution in good faith, aud not for the
purpose of avoiding responsibility, but for
the very purpose Of enabling him to dis
charge his duty to his constituents in that
way which will best promote their interests.
Mr. Teter is a very affable gentleman,
Minister Of the Gospel, ! believe of the
Methodist denomination, aud man of
good ability. Mr. Lcake, of Scott coun-
ty, was opposed to the whole thing of tax
ing income, but if an income tax bill is TO
be passed, he would be in favor Of ex-
tending its provisions to all incomes, and
offered an amendment including the farm
er's growing crop. Mr. Lcake is said to
be good lawyer, and no one can be long
in the Senate chamber without discovering
that he is very ready debatsr. Mr..
Cue. of Scott county, opposed the amend
ment of Mr.. Leake, and discussed the
other features of the resolution with abil-
lty. DIR. Cue IS farmer, but he IS a
very ready debater, and always commands
