large and all done not only without detriment to
the public good, but positively with advantage to
public liberty and the cause of Confederate lnde-
pendence Ibegtn to think with MIR. Baldwin, OF
Virginia, who, at the last session of Congress re.
marked, that he thought the President was fond
of exercising power, when he had good opportu-
nty and if Congress did not clip his wings in time,
he might go to extremes"
The conseryators of liberty in Salisbury, if such
there be, and in Rowan county and State at large,
must speak out before 1t is too Mte. The mind
of the President must be dSabused BE should be
informed of the petty political jealousies of his ad.
visers He should be informed that the judges OF
North Carolina are more likely to err with him
than against him and that it is wanton insult to
our people to be treated thus. Men must be sent
to Congress who will refuse to- give the President
power such dangerous power, and who have them
selves an innate love of liberty and republican in
situations In short eternal vigilance must be ex-
erciSed, and frequent recurrence must be made to
the fundamental principles of civil liberty-to the
maxim that the military must be kept in subordi-
nation to the civil power and to the political maxim
which only obtained practical force after centuries
of toll and bloodshed-" that all political power is
vested in and derived from the people only" Let
us always have the independence and discrimina-
ton to distinguish between the government and the
administration and let take care that we do not
lose our liberties, little by little under the plea of
necesSity-the tyrants plea in all ages amid the
divisions incident to the clash of arms and the d.
visions of empire PALERMO.

GENERAL STARVATION.

Mr. EDIToR:-Is the recent move on the part of
our military authorities in pressing our negroes and
teams is to be the future rule of action under the
plea of military necessity, the consequences will be
the most disastrous not only to those at home, but
to our brave soldiers in the camp, and upon the
battle field announce the melancholy fact to them
that they have received their last ratons and that
those at home dearer to them than life liberty,
is starving, and the war will end just there.
Food and raiment at home and upon the tented
field is as essential to brave hearts,
powder and ball is upon the battle field. | admon-
sh those in power to remember that there other
exigencies than military necessity. There are ply
steal necessities much above military necessity
as Stewards higher law proved to be above the
sttution and laws Of the old government The folly
and wickedness of the has proved itself to be
whitening and blighting curse not only to those who
preached and practised it. but to the whole nation.
The folly and weakness of those who are attempt
ing to bend and shape every circumstance to mill
tary necessity will defeat the grand object we have
in view in the prosecution of the bloody war in
which we are now engaged, to wit; our national in
dependence
1t is fact that no will deny, that seven
tenths of our white laboring population has been
taken from the farm and the workshops to fight the
battles Of the country; upon the back of that take
our negroes and teams, and ask in sober serious
ness, who is to feed our soldiers. their wives and
children. The farmer must not only be let alone,
but it is the duty of the government to encourage
him in his honest efforts to feed the hungry and
clothe the naked
The fabulous price of every thing that man or
beast can eat, ought to admonish those in power
that without the proceeds of the farmers labor our
destiny is fixed our doom is as plainly written up
on the page of time, as the hand writing was upon
the wall that revealed to Belshazzar his doom.
1t is not reasonable to suppose that We shall be
fed from heaven the children of Israel were in the
wilderness Then let us foster and strengthen tho
hand Of industry throw obstacle across the farm
er's path of duty; cheer him on in the cultivation
Of the soil, and all will reap the rich reward of
his labor in abundant harvest.

The WAY WHEELER WAS MADE A BnreADrrR.-

THE WAY WHEELER WAS MADE A BRIGADIER-
We find the following concerning this gallant
young officer IN the Knoxville Register.
Joseph Wheeler, the most youthful Brgadier in
the Confederate service, has won undyng honors
during the tendency of the great struggle in Middle
Tennessee. His name has appeared in nearly every
official dispatch the telegraph never omIts thename
Of Wheeler and such has been his ubiquitousness
and such the multiplicity Of his daring deeds and
achievements that the reporters for the Press at
Murfreesboro' have persistenty asserted that For
rest and Morgan were both in the rear of Roscn-
cranz, cutting off his supplies ana communication
with Nashville Gen. Bragg, to very great ex-
tent acrbes the safety of our army on its with.
drawal from Kentucky to the energy, skill and
courage of Wheeler. When he visited the Presi-
dent at Richmond, in order to make full exposi-
ton of the events of the Kentucky campaign, he
insisted that Wheeler should be made Brigadier.
The President declined doing so, stating that Nor
gar and others, who had served longer and with
great distinction, had not been promoted He also
objected because Wheeler is mere boy.
Gen. Bragg was thus silenced. The next day he
was again at the Presidents planSion and inquired
whether his Adjutant General not entitled to a
Brigadier's commission. The President said he was.
'Well then" said Gen. Bragg, 81 now nominate
and constitute Joseph Wheeler, Jr, my Adjutant
General"
The President was not little surprised, but re-
marked "if you know this young man so well, and
value his services thus highly, he shall be a Briga-
der, and not of your staff. Let him remain where
he is"

The question was then put and the substitute
conquered in, and Messrs. Fowle Grissom, PEBBLES,
Foy, and Allison appointed the committee under it.
A message was received from the Senate trans
hitting an engrossed bill from the House, amend.
ing an ordinance Of the Convention providing relief
for the families of deceased soldiers, with an amend
ment by that body. The amendment was concurred
in by the House.
Mr.. CoStner introduced resolution in favor OF
Daniel Tucker, of Lincoln county. Referred to
the committee claims.
Mr.. Foy introduced a series of resolutions rela-
tive to the suspension OF the writ Of hGbeas corpus
in Salisbury and other portions of the State, re-
quiring the Governor to call special court in Sal
isbury for the trial of such citizens of this State
have been imprisoned there under suspension of
this writ -.-.-
Mr.. Foy addressed the House at some length in
support Of the resolutions taking strong ground
against the suspension Of the writ Of habens corpus
and dealing heavy blows at the tendency to override
civil by the military power giving instances coming
within his own knowledge, of true and loyal citizens
having been arrested and imprisoned, without
hearing. Mr. Foy spoke at length
On motion of Mr.. Mckay the House proceeded to
consider bill from the Senate for the relief of land
lords. The bill amended and passed its several
readings.
The hour having arrived for the consideration Of
the special ORDER the House proceeded to the con.
sideration of the revenue bill.

ernor Vance.
The message and accompanying documents were
read and ordered to be sent to the Senate with

From ILLINors-IIon Wm A. Richardson has
been elected to the L. S. Senate in Illinois. The
Washington Chronicle says he is to be Judged by
the resolutions of the caucus which nominated him,
an abstract of which we subjoin:
Second-That the administration, in suspendDg
the writ of habeds corpus in arrestng private citi
zens and ircarceratIng them in bastiles issuing the
proclamation of emancipation, and in other instances
usurping power has violated the Constitution, in
frnged upon State sovereignty, and disregarded the
popular wish Its perversion of the into a
OF abolition deserves our unqualified reprobation,
and Justly entities it to the condemnation of all true
lovers of constitutional liberty and States rights
Fifth-.That peace fraternal relations and politi
cal fellowship should be restored among the people
of the States that the best interest of ALL and the
welfare of mankind, demand this should be done in
the speediest and most effective manner.
Seyenth-Favors national convention Of all the
States at Louisville, KY, at the earliest practicable
period to adjust our national difficulties.
Embellishments that the Legislature now in
session appoint commissioners to said national con-
yenton, and invite other States to do So
Ninth-That we earnestly recommend a cessation
of hostilities for such period may be necessary
to allow the people of the North and South to
press through national convention, their wish for
peace and a maintenance Of the Union as it was,
under the Constitution as it Is.
