A PROCLAMATION
z. b. Vance, Govcrnor of ~. Carolina.

BY n. B. Tdfce. Gouerlor or ~. Carofand.
uNT HEREAs, information has reached me that
w certain persons, unmindful Of the calls Of pa
triotis and forgetfu Of the duties Of good citizens,
afe using their influence TO prevent obedience 10 the
law Of Congress known as the ConscTipt Law, and
that others are attempting 10 organize an open re.
sstance TO its execution and whereas, such conduct
being not only in direct violation Of law, but also
detrimental nthe highest degree, 10 the cause Of our
eountry, il becomes my sacred duty to prevent and
rerress tho same by all the means in my power:
Now, therefore, ], ZEBUL0N b. VANCE, Go.
ve,nor OF North Carolina, do issne this my proclama-
lion. warning all such persons to desst from such
unpatriotic and criminal conduct; earnestly hoping
that ali who are dianclined 10 defend their homes
themselves, either by reason Of age, nrmity or cow
srdice, will cease TO dssuade those who are willing;
and notifying positively all persons contemplating an
armed resistance to the law If there really be any such
misguided and ey-dsposed persons in our midst, thai
Ithey will commit the crime Of treason, according 70
the Constitution. and must not expect 10 escape III
penalties Whilst thousands upon thousands OF ouI
best and brayest have cheeruly obeyed the law, and
by their patriotic vaor have dsyen the enemy back 70
the Potomac, II would be an itblersbc outrage upon
them 20 permit others 10 evade the law or worse still
10 resist il by open yioleEce Let one therefore
be deceived the law will be enforced and appeal q
all loyal and patriotic cirzens 10 sustain those who
are charged with its execution.

The State oI Georgia has substantially
paid in the balance due by her, and the
State of South Carolina has paid the whole
amount due by her into the Treasury, IN the
form Of sig per cent. call certificates. But
as the final settlement has not yet taken
place, the certificates have not as yet been
delivered up, and the accoun. is not yet
closed. The returns from The States OF Al
ALBANIA, Louisiana. Mississippi, Arkansas and
Texas, have not yet been rendered IN com
plete. Tho two former States have, never.
theless, paid their taxes in advance.
We learn that complaints have been al
dressed TO Congress with reference TO alleg
ed inequality IN the valuation u certain spe-
cies OF property. which is said to be unjust
in lis effects upon a large portion OF tax
payers. For instance, IN the Stale OF ylf-
gina, the average value Of slaves, according
TO The war tax assessments, Is s350 o.. while
the average in some counties goes up 70
$500, and in others falls below $500. The
citizens OF the latter counties contribute 70
the general fund for war purposes 9ne-toaflh
less than those ol the former. Such IRequal-
ity is unjust, and bears heavily on that class
OF citizens who are most willing 10 BEAR the
burden of taxation, and who consequently
place upon their property liberal salua-
tian. Besides, il ls calculsted TO produce
murmurings aud discomfort among the peO.

We take from u London journal the follow.
ing notice Of the death OF a most successful
merchant and enterprising financier who was
well known in this country, and, in fact,
throughout the world -
"The shipping aud mercantile interests
were deeply shocked to hear Of the sudden
decease of Mr.. Duncan Dunbar, the well
known ship-owner and merchant. His death
took place this morning just before leaving

servant was helping him on with his coat.

BILE objects. Where money was to be made
he was foremost, but while he made much he
lost much. In one article of rice alone, he,
some few years ago, lost Gl00,00c, and the
market for that produce has never been the
same as it used to be since lie went into it. He
was induced to embark in the speculation, in
expectation of the Crimean war lasting for
years. Under this impression he purchased
no less than twenty fine large teak built ships
at Rangoon, and chartered the whole on his
own account with the rice referred TO. Before
their arrival the war was over; rice, which
previously was selling at very high prices, al
once Tell in value, and continued to do SO, the
stock on hand was greatly in excess OF the
demand, 1t became unsaleabIe, and the loss
was extensive. Mr.. Dunbar's investments ip
various JOINT stock companies were so large
