We have recently had the pleasure of meeting
and conversing with Maj. William F. Miller, of
Missouri, now in this City, from whom we have
learned much in relation to the condition of things
in that State. Maj. Miller was among the first vol
unteers under Gen. Price, and participated in all the
battles fought by that gallant old cheftain, incu-
ding that of Elkhcrn, where he was made prisoner.
He was kept IN close confinement five weeks, and
then in military prison at St Louis nine months
He has suffered severely in the cause Maj Miller
is a younger brother of our much lamented fellow
citizen, Henry W. Miller, Esq.

The bill introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Young,
of Mecklenburg, providing for the enrolment of al!
the able-bodied white men in this State between
the ages of 16 and 60, strikes US as in many re-
spects Objectionable. We lack space to-day to state
these objections at any length but the measure
will operate, and be regarded by the people as an
extension of the militia system, and to this we do
not hesitate to say, in humble opinion the peo-
pie are opposed. If Mr. Sherwood's militia bill
should be passed, there will be enough militia be-
tween IS and 45 for all the purposes contemplated
in Mr.. Youngs bill; and these will form an organ
lied nucleus around which able-bodied men of all
ages will rally as volunteers in an emergency. II
North, Carolina is to depend for protection on the
boys and old men, and is to have no aid from the
10000 veterans she has contributed to Confederate
service, then indeed is the prospect gloomy.

We have in hand o mass of letters protesting
against any further drain upon our people in the
way of troops, and propounding questions in rela-
ton to exemptions under the militia and conscrpt
laws Our correspondence, which is very exten-
SiVe conVlnces US that people are looking with
alarm to the prospect of more troops being raised,
and the greatly diminished white labor we have left
being thus taken from our fields and workshops.
We cannot find space today to reply to the ques-
tiOns propounded under the conscript law; and so
far as the militia concerned our correspondents
will bear in mind that the exemptions will depend
on the measure adopted by the Legislature now in
session. We refer them to the bills introduced in
the Commons, in our paper to-day. As we have
stated elsewhere, we regard the bill of Mr.. Sher.
wood as every way preferable to that introduced by
Mr. Mckay.

RESISTANCE TO TIE SUPREME Court We learn
that DR.. G. L. Sellars, belonging to the 5lst N. c.
troops, stationed at Wilmington, sued out through
his counsel few days since, from the Supreme
Court, writ of ha6eas corpus and that the writ
was placed in the hands of the Sheriff of New Han
over to be executed The Sheriff attempted to serve
the WRIT but the Colonel of the regiment refused to
permit him to pass his lines This is a triumph,
thus far of the military over our Supreme Court
When the writ shall have been returned to that
body, or to of the judges we do not doubt that
prompt action will be taken to uphold the civil law

TREASURY OFFICE,

To the SAerifs and Tr Collectors of North Carolina:
The following is copy of the act just passed by the

congratulate you the adoption of plan, which will

ernment To make this plan successful your emerge tic
cooperation required in order that the may reach
he hands OF the Treasurer and other fiscal agents.
before the 2h inst The State expects that you and the
taxpayers will heartily cooperate in carrying out the
plan;
Where you may be able to get here BY the time ndi-
Gated with the money you liberty carry the Con-
federate notes you have received dated prior the

From the Memphis Bulletin, Of Thursdsy.l
By the steamer Rocket from Vicksburg, and the City
Belle from Helena, we get some important information
as to the movements in that quarter;
The attsck for the capture Of Yieksburg commenced
on Sunday. The gunboats went up the YazoO river
and made an attack on the batteries commanding the
rear, while Gen. Sherman, with his forces, stopped three
miles below the batteries, and about six or seven miles
from the mouth there he put down pontoon bridges
over the marshes, and passed over all his forces on dry
land This was effected on Sunday, and the engage
ment ommsnced on Monday. The Missouri boys-the
9th and sth-are said to have gone into tine fight with
great enthusiasm. The results were fattsring. The
rebels were fighting behind their intrenchments, but
being taken at a point where they were weakest, the
advantages were not so great as had been anticipated
One work afser another had been carried, and he shouts
Of the advancing hosts were distinctly heard.
