the army. Seine excitement still prevails, but Il
In supposed that In few days, when commuuica.

The prices Of almost everything are astonish-

quality, 50 cents per pound; common brown
wrapping paper and envelopes so cents per pack
age; brown sugar 90 cents per pound
A number Of stores will be opened however, In
a few days, by parties from Old Point and Bait.

wanted here.
The pos, cfice and custom house will shortly

All the Notifications In the vicinity are occu-

The policy Of the Confederate government
appears 10 be TO concentrate their troops al
Richmond, and some say that all the Gulf

mot my wife and me ~ represented) conveyed 70
the Central 6uardhouse. The whole cause Of all
this, was the drunken soldier referred 70 coming
to my house the night previous. blythe express
orders Of Lieut.. Hummel, 70 purchase whisky.
Ny wife at frat refused to let him have my, until
representing himself As being very sick, she was
induced 10 let him have some; whereupon ne
carried IL back to his quarters, and produced Il
next day a. evidence sgainst me, all OF which
Lieut. Hummel acknowledged 20 the command
ing ofacef az the guardhouse; and he also said
the soldier was a man that did not use liquor Of
any kind. Such are the facts stated by Lieut.
Hummerin my presence, and which I suppose he
will not deny. My absence from the city pre-
venfed me from before noticing the article In

Council of State.

Gov. Vance notified the members of the Council
ofState to meet in this City on Saturday last but
we learn but three attended, to wit Mr.. Murphy,
of Cumberland, Mr.. Desmond of Lenoir, and Mr..
Ferguson, of BERTHE. Four are required to make
quorum to transact business. The three members
mentioned were still in the City on Monday, await
ing the arrival of another, to constitute quorum
but it seems to be probable that no quorum will be
present and that in consequence no business will be
transacted.
By the 26th section of the SD chapter Of Re-
vised Code the Governor is empowered, with the
concurrence of the Council of State to convene the
LEGISLATURE whenever it shall be deemed absolutely
necessary That it is absolutely necessary that the
LEGISLATURE should be convened before the regular
period for its meeting, We think there can be no
doubt. Immediate steps should be taken to clothe
our troops in Virginia, and to defend the Eastern
portion of the State; and besides it exceedingly
desirable that the Council should have met so as
to have concurred with the Governor in laying an
embargo to prevent the expectation of flour, bacon,
leather, and the like from the State.
We know something of the Governors anxiety
on LAeSe SuOJecIS. Ho Is uoliS us uulS, OuI He
can act only in accordance with the Constitution
and the law.
The first duty of North Carolina in the last re-
sert, is to herself If the Eastern portion of the
State should be occupied by the enemy up to the
Wilmington and Weldon Road, the loss to our peo-
pie would be inealculable. Every portion of the
State would feel the calamity. We believe that
Coz. Vance is determined that if this calamity
should befall us it shall not be said that he was
wanting in efforts to avert it.

The News.

No intelligence of any change in the army OF the
po,ornac has been received. The condition of the
army in regard to food, health, and efficiency, is
said to be excellent. There is, however, great
restitution of blankets, and the approaching cold
weather admonishes the government and the people
that great suffering awaits our brave boys IN the
future We hope the appeals to the people will re-
suit in supplying this deficiency.
There is no positive news of any new movements
of the Yankee forces Mcclellan is doubtless, train
inc his new levies and making his plans for an on
word movement at various points, The rumor that
the Yankee force at Suffolk will be increased from
AZ 600 to 100000, if true, is 'ominous We have
Nothing later from our Eastern coast than will be
found in our columns.
Our telegraphic dispatches contain all the infor-
nation we have from Kentucky. Our forces have
car,anly been victorious over the enemy, but the
advantages gained are not signal OF so damaging to
the enemy as we were led to hope few days ago.
The news of the Democratic triumph in the North
is highly gratifying. Whether it will have any eff
feet upon the rigo, or continuance of the war, is
question yet to tie solved.

JOHN DAWSON, ESQ, Mayor of Wilmington:
North.Carolina Losses.

1t is impossible even to approximate the truth in
estimating the losses of North Carolina, in killed,
MANNED and broken down, during the war. Enough
is known to fill the State with mourning; yet the
courage and gallantry of our brave men are upon
those who have hitherto slandered and ridicued US.
As yet we are still ignorant of the losses of many
of our regiments in the battle of Sharpsburg. We
gather the following general items of the losses in
the 14th N. G. Regiment in that battle, from the
Wadesboro' Argus, but we have seen no full par
ticuiars:
