Taxing Bank Notes.

The idea of suppressing, by the imposition
of practically prohibitory stamp duties, all pa.
per money, except that issued by the national
authority, is being discussed by the press as
the period for the meeting of Congress ap-
proaches. s'"
1t will be opposed of course, by the large
and active interest connected with banks of

few notes in circulation and rely for Their prof

although with small capitals, and oftehtimes
with no real capital, may be expected 70 resist
the suggested change with great vehemence.

ment of some States, which derive large reven-
ues from taxing the privilege of circulation now
enjoyed by the banks. This metaod OF taxa
ton has afforded nearly all the public income OF
important item in the budgets OF other States.
It will not be given up without reluctance.
The elements of resistance TO the proposed
new policy, would not be likely to be overcome
by anything short of necessity now pressing up.
on the national government, to reach after
financial relief in whatever direction 1t may be
found.
The relief to be obtained by taking to itself
the sole power of issuing paper money, 's large
and promptly available. If bank notes were
axed out Of existence, $500, co., 900 OF Treasury
notes might be circulated without injury, and
that large amount Of national debt might be
carried, not merely without interest. but with
the positive gain of the annual loss CT otes by
wear and tear, shipwrecks, confagrar ne and
the various accidents by which circulating
notes disappear If this gain be imputed at SO
little as one tenth of one per cent. per annum,
it would amount to $500, 600 upon $500. 0O0,-
900. gn
Three hundred millions are now authorized
by law. 100000, 600 would supply the place

To whatever extent it may be proved by ex'

Assumntion of the Confederate Debt.

We observe that proposition has been made IN
both branches of the General Assembly OF this
State that this State should assume her proportion
of the Confederate debt.
We object to this, firstly, because 1t is rank
consolidation measure 1t would blend the treasu'
rios Of tho States with the treasury OF the Confcd'
crate government, and thereby consolidate both
governments into one The finances of govern
ment arc what the heart is to the human system.
Money is tie main snew of power, both in peace
and in war.
We object to it, secondly, because it would lead
to reprdlation by saddling our people with debt
Z they could never pay.
We object to it, thirdly, because this debt is
largely in the hands of traders and spectators. To
assume it would be to encourage speculation and
extorton.
We object to it, tourthly, because if the States
should assume the Confederate debt, such assump
ton would lead TO absolute free trade, which would
benefit the cotton States at the expense OF the
tbreadstuff and manufacturing States Of course
HI the Confederate government owed no debt il
would impose no tariff, but would resort to direct
:, axes and free trade.
u There are other grounds of objection to the meas
lure, which it is not necessary to state now. .We
EDcieve that nine tenths of people are opposec

undone to secure their protection. Since the COM
mencement of hostilites at Kipston he has been in
close proximity to the army, .counsellng with the
authorities and encouraging our foces. On
"Wednesday last he was the field in the fight near
tioldsboro. The people of the State may be sure
that Gov. Vance is at all points where duty calls

office arc iudiciously and promptly attend'd to ny

Mr. Ep,roR:-I have read with much pleasure
and heartily endorse your article in the Standard
OF the 9th inst, upon the subjectof Troops for our
Defense" 1t seems to me that the Legislature
should pass the bill as proposed by Gov. Vance,
and that at the very earliest possible moment. De.
Law is dangerous-the moment is gone forever!-
We have already lost much valuble territory and a
great deal of property-we are still tEreatened-the
f., hangs upon our eastern horizon like dark,
portantous cloud. The next day or the next
week" may witness events which may involve thou
sands of our citizens in ruin, and bring disgrace
upon our noble old State. Then let the General AS
semSly arouse from its slumbers and do all it c,n
for the protection of peoPle-let it pass the bill
to raise ten Regiments for State defense upon the
plan proposed by His Excellency, Gov. Vance, and
from the plains Of the East and from the mountain
eorges of the West the sturdy yeo,nanry Of the
State will flock to her standard to check and repel
from her soil the reckless and merciless foe The
troops can and will be raised if authority is given
for their acceptance. They can be supported upon
less than the enemy would destroy but for their
presence.
1t is indeed, woundng to the pride of North
Caroinians that whilst the Yankee advance in other
States is obstnatcly opposed at every point, so
little Is done for their own. They have fought as
noby and suffered as severely any troops ilI the
Confederate arneS anu YET, aI every S'ep shey are
tauuted that the Yankees have met with so little
resistance in North Carolina.
There is no time to be lost-these troops should
now be in the field in camps of instruction, pre-
paring to meet the invader. And this is the senti
ment of very large number of North Caronnians
with whom have lately conversed. Every senti-
ment Of Statee pride-every feeling of honor and
the historic deeds Of the past demand of tie Legis
lature to do something Immediately for the security
of our. eastern counties.
Yours truly, c. G. D.

No man supposes that this, any other single State,
could succeed conflict with the Confederate government
Register.
The Register, then, holds the doctrine that the
Confederate government has the right to coerce the
States 1t held and urged the same doctrine in re-
lation to South. Carolina, in 1860. Wewould depre-
cate conflict with the common government as much
as any one but if that government should dare to
attempt to coerce NORTH Carolina, we would advise
resistance to it We are resisting Lincoln. The
