The Presidents special Message

The President, on March 9th, trans
mitted to Congress the following mes
sage:
FSilo,e-citisens of the Senate and House Of
Representatives
recommend the adoption of a joint
resolution by your honorable bodies,
which shall be, substantially, as follows
Resohed, That the United States ought
to cooperate with any State which may
adopt gradual adjustment Of slavery,
giving to such State pecuniary aid, to be
used by such State in its discretion to
compensate for the inconveniences, public
and private, produced by such change of
system. 4r vats raiglfl
! IL the proposition contained in the
resolution does not meet the approval of
Congress and the country, there is the
end; but 1T does command such ap.
proval, | deem it of Importance that the
States and people Immediately interested
should BE at once distinctly notified of
the fact, so that they may begin to con-
slider whether to accept or reject it. The
Federal Government would find its high
est interest in such measure as one OF
the most efficient measures of self-pre-
sorvation. lui ~

the Democracy of the land had remained
listless, and had been, and are in fact, as
is SO falsely charged, rebel sympathizers

LATEST NEWS.
WAsuINGroN. March

WASHINGTON, March y.
Government received information from
Fortress Monroe that yesterday the Con-
federste steamer Merrimac aud gunboats
jamestown and Yorktown attacked our
fleet, and sunk the Cumberland and tool,
the frigate Congress. The Minnesota is
reported aground.
FoRTREss MONROE, March q.
The Monitor arrived at 10 o'clock last
night and Immediately went to the pro-
lection of the Minnesota, aground below
Newport News.
| At seven o'clock to-day the Merrimac,
Yorktown, jamestown, and several tugs,
went towards the Minnesota aud opened
fire. The Monitor met them and opened
fire, when the encmy's vessels retired,
excepting the Merrimac. These two
iron-clad vessels fought from eight til
noon, part Of the time touching each
other. The Merrimac retreatcd. The
Monitor was commanded by Lieut.. War
den, and was handled with great skill,
assisted by chief engineer Sinners. The
Minnesota was somewhat injured, but
kept up continuous fire. The Monitor
is uninjured and ready for another attack.
WASHINGTON, March 9.
General Mcclellan has received dis
patch from Gen. Wool, dated six this
evening, confirming the above; also stat
ing the Minnesota had got off, and that
the Merrimac was driven off in a sinking
condition, towed by The jamestown,
Yorktown and other boats, towards Nor
folk, probably to get her in the dry dock
A dispatch was also received by the
Secretary of the Navy from Assistant
Secretary Fox, saying, in addition to the
above, that the Merrmac retreated, but
it was impossible to say whether injured
or not. Lieut.. Worden, Commands Of
the Monitor, was injured by cement from
the pilot-house being driven into his
eyes, probably not seriously. ssrsai
Gen. Hooker reports all the encrny's
batteries in front of his line were aban-
doned and the guns spiked. There are
some valuable pieces among them. This

North.Carolina Factories.

We have no idea that North Carolina cotton or
wool Factories should sell their goods at the low
prices charged before the war They are justly en-
titled to good living profit the cost of produc-
ton. But can there be any justice, patriotism
or conscience, in charging the exorbitant prices
which are now asked for goodsP Wealthy people,
or those who are making money by fat offices or
otherwise, have no right to complain of high prices
Every body, farmers, mechanics, merchants and all
are asking the highest price for every thing they
sell.
What is produced among US ought not to be sub
ject to these war prices. What is brought from
abroad, luxuries, &c, may be expected to be HIGH
but can any man of ordinarily humane and benevo-
lent feelings, justify the high prices charged for
cotton yarns, homespuns, &C., when cotton only
costs them or cents per lb2 Wespeak for the
poor, the laboring class, of which there is large
number in the State. How can they be clothed and
fed at such prices?
We learn that the Fayetteville Factories, the Is
land Ford Factory Gov. Moreheads Factory in
Rockingham, and many others are charging % cents
per yard for homespun and 81 per bundle for yarns.
We mention as an honorable exception to this ex-
lOTllOT, InaI the OeuaT deep hlNeT MANU-
featuring Companies are charging only 90 cents per
yard and 81 80 per bundle for the same. goods.
We believe the Factories at Salem, K. L. Patter-
sons and Others are also exceptions. The feeling
in the State against these exorbitant prices is be-
coming more and more hostile
A friend at our elbow suggests that it is under
stood that Of the cotton Factories of this State
are clearing one thousand dollars per day on spun
cotton and cotton cloth. The prices of these arti-
Giles have risen enormously. The people would SUBJ
NIT cheerfully to handsome profits to the owners Of
these Factories but would not five hundred dollars
or three hundred dollars per day, satisfy them
Alas! alas! What will the poor Of this State do
next fall and winter, even for cotton cloth2
But the spirit of extortion and speculation per.
vades all classes. The owners of Factories are moi
alone to blame May God deliver the country from
extortion speculation, selfseekng, vice, forgetfu
ness of Him, and party hate!
