provide for an armed patrol was taken up.
Mr.. Long thought the bill had too much Of a mill

ter, and proposed to amend by substituting one in
its stead.
Mr.. Fowle proposed to amend, so as to authorize
arrest by the patrol, only upon warrants that had
been regularly issued.
Mr.. McAden opposed the bill on the ground, that
necessity existed for it-that it was expensive,
ana tnat the 1orce ana arms PROVIDED Tor were need

Mr.. PEBBLES was in favor of the bill-a great ne
cessty did exist for it in the Eastern counties es-

Mr.. Waddell of Chatham, did not believe that our
people would volunteer for the defence of the State
he thought they would have to be forced out.
Mr.. Cowles Of Yadkin, thought the gentleman
from Chatham, was mistaken-that they would vol

forced out by CONSUMPTION.
Mr.. Shepherd Of Cumberland, believed our pee.

conflict with the Confederate government and did
not favor any interference with the conseript law
Mr.. Mckay of Harnett, was opposed to both bills,
believing that both interfered with the conscript

LATEST CONCERNING THU "GREAT EAST
ERN."-At a recent special netting of the
shareholders in the Great Ship Company it
was stated, in the report presented to the
meeting, that, on account Of the lamentable
accident which occurred to the "Great
Eastern" on the 18th of September, loss
of $l25,0 900 was incurred. She was now
at Milford Haven, undergoing the neces-
sary repairs for another voyage. The as
sets Of the company were sufficient TO meet
this loss, with the exception of $4,000
To provide for this and for the extra capital
which the directors thought would be me-
cessary, $125.O00 would have to be raised,
aud it had been determined on raising the
amount by debentures bearing interest at
the rate of ten per cent on the mortage of
the ship. Ofthis amount seventy.five thou
san dollars had been subscribed. The chair
man, in moving the adoption of the report,
remarked that the ship had begun to be
profitable. ard there was no reason to sup.
pose that such an accident would occur
again. The directors had had offers for the
ship. One gentleman had offered $3.50, 900
cash down, but the directors had not listen
ed to the proposal The chairman moved
the adoption of the report. Capt Halstead
said it was mystery in the history ofprac-
tical seamanship how the ship got helpless
ly into the trough of the see. What the
shareholders should know was whether the
ship fell into the trough Of the sea in con-
sequence of the breaking of the rudder head,
or whether the breaking of the rudder head
was the result of getting into the trough OF
the sea, and the efforts to get her out. He
had no hesitation in saving that no other
ship than the "Great Eastern" could have
remained in such a position ten minutes
He was Of the opinion that the "Great Eas-
tern" should be placed upon her original
destination, india for he never believed
that she was designed for crossing such a
duck-pond as the Atlantic. The chairman
said that before the ship went to sea again
thorough investigation should take place.
After some further discussion the report
was adopted.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-30

THE PLAN OF THE CAMPAlGN.-The follow
ing paragraph is from the Cincinnati Com
mercial:
That general advance is In progress is
indicated by the marching from Louisville
of the Second, Thirty. first, Twenty-fOurth
Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, Twenty first aud Thir-
ty-thrid Ohio regiments. General McClel.
lan's plan is we'll understood to be that a
Simultaneous advance shall take place-on
the Mississippi, against Columbus, Ken
lucky; in Central Kentucky, upon Bowling
Green; from Romney, upon Winchester;
from the Potomac, into Eastern Virginia;
from Fortrass Monroe. upon Yorktown or
Norfolk; and that Buffers, Burnside's and
Sherman's coast expeditions shall make de-
mOnstrations at the same time. If this be
the case--as we do not profess TO have
either official or semi-Oificial Information
movements at important points may be ex-
peeted when one takes place; and the for
ward movement in Kentucky is the signal
of general advance.
