The PROCLAMATION IN NORTH CARO-

The PROCLAMATION IN NORTH CARO-
LINA.-The Manchester, IN. H. American
has accounts from the interior of North Caro-
lima, given by New Hampshire man named
Smith, who has been living there, which should
be accepted with the allowances to be made
for North Carolina stories
"Mr. Smith states that the proclamation of
President Lincoln has produced the greatest
CONSERVATION among the large shareholders of
that portion of the state. Indeed, so great is
their terror that a large body of them have
united in a petition to the governor, imploring
him to use his influence with the confederate
government TO secure the return of the troops
belonging to that state, in order that they may
be protected from slave instruction, which
they believe to be imminent. The governor
has also been requested to call convention Of
the people, to take measures to bring the state
back into the Union, that they might avail
themselves of the offers contained in the proc
lamation. He says that as soon as it was
known that the proclamation had been issued,
measures were taken to prevent any more of
the soldiers raised there by CONSUMPTION, from
leaving the state. He is of the opinion that
in very short time the proclamation will be
known to the slaves in every nook and corner
of the state. Mr.. Smith also declares that the
more intelligent of the non-slaveholders in that
locality are greatly rejoiced that the emanci-
patton policy has been adopted by the federal
government. They believe that the abolition
of slavery will be of immense benefit to them,
as it will give dignity and respectabihty to la
bor." ... ira a7

REBEL OPINION OF THE PROCLAMATION.
Col. A. X. Mcclure of Chambersburg, Pa,
who was charged by his felow-ctizens with the
duty ofmaking terms with the rebel cavalry on
the occasion of their recent raid to that place,
had good many of them TO coffee in his house
coffee being a rarity TO them. Col, MoC,
writes to Philadelphia friend a kindly ac-
count of their visit, and of his free conversation
with them. He says
When told that was decided Republi-
ioan, they thanked me for being candid but
when, in reply to their inquiries, told them
that / cordially sustained the Presidents
Emancipation Proclamation. they betrayed a
little nervousness, but did not for moment
forget their propriety, They admitted IL TO be
the most serious danger that has get threat
eaed them, but they 0ers all hopeful that IL
,c0uld not be sustained an the North Nth stuff
Gent un0nimity to enforce IT,"
Other testimony to the same effect, has been
published by us before, viz: that the rebels
rely upon divisions at the North, and refusal
to support the administration, to ward of what
they admit to be the most damaging blow that
has yet fallen nponthei traitorous Vaccinations.
What man, then, who desires the salvation of
the country, the subjugation of treason, the
preservation of democracy, the triumph and
progress offreedom and the right, can hesitate
a moment to give this war measure of the Pres
ident, which promises to be so effective against
traitors to the best government on earth,
his most hearty and energetic support.

MONTPELIER, Thursday Evening, Oct Is,

MONTPELIER, Thursday Evening, Oct, 10,
DEAR HERALD;-What 10 do with the FL
ephant} has been the prominent inquiry in the
! Legislature for the past two days, In other
words, What 10 do with the Revision Of the
! Statutes THIS question necessarily met the
members in the face, on the Threshold of the
session, since upon lbs determination the gener-
al course of business anu the length of the
session very much depend, To many of the
members this somewhat huge legislative bould-
or, dropped by the committee of Revision in
the pathway of the Legislature is an unwel-
come visitant Whether to 90 al the work OF
reducing it with pick and drill, or whether,
with pulleys, ropes and derricks and such like
oontrivanoes, to roll it over into the track of
the next succeeding Legislature has been the
topic of chief consideration. If the result of
the vote Of to-day may be taken as an indica-
ton Of the deliberate sense of the House, |
should say that those Of the pick and drill are
in the ascendant, and that the work Of revision
will proceed to completion before an adjourn
ment Of the legislature shall take place In
the House the various chapters OF the proposed
Revision will bc referred to the appropriate
standing committees, with instructions 10 report
at rs early a day as practicable. Though much
better pleased TO have the subject disposed of
the present year, m almost any mode, than |
should be with "a postponement, vet | must be
allowed to believe, contrary it seems 70 the
Judgment Of the majority of the House, that a
more homogeneous simple and perfect body Of
statutes Won3 We secured by referring the
work to special committees with authority to
sit during recess, and with instructions to
report at an adjourned session.
An nsOlvent bill has been introduced INTO
the Senate, which provides for an equal distr-
button of the assets of the debtor among all
his creditors. The end which this measure is
designed to secure is probably approved by
a majority Of the intelligent people of the
State,-that is, the equal distribution of the
debtors property. But it seems to me that a
law which forces an unfortunate debtor into
the insolvent courts, at great sacrifice always,
and which provides for his scientific and com
pete skinning, turning him out upon the world,
at the head Of family it may be, as bare of
the means Of subsistence, as a peeled sapling
is of bark, ought also to provide for his dis
charge, and thus open up to him the avenues
of industry and thrift, with some encouragement
for the future. A little modicum of vicarous
atonement of this nature would be nothing
more than is required by the spirit of christian
beneyolence aud charity. as#
There viii be no business of Importance tram
sacted before next week, as am able to learn.
Though a rots may not be obtained to adjourn
over from Friday to Tuesday, it would not be
strange if general stampede will virtually
lead to such a result.
Next week, should the legislative wheels get
fairly in motion, / hope to furnish something
more interesting D. 81
