From North Carolina.

Newberne. Jan. %.
Governor Stanley's resignation was sent
TO Washing ton by last mail. 1t is based
upon the Presidents emancipation procla-
nation, which be strenuously opposes. The
army and Wy, aud Union citizens arose
to the appointment of a successor, as t e
office is not only regarded as needless, but
a serious obstacle in the progress of our
arms.
Gen. Foster is accepting the services Of
negroes for garrison duty, notwithstanding
the circumstances of Gov. Stanley.
BY the semi treacherous, mischieyous
and inactive conduct Of Stanley, North
Carolina came near being lost to the union.
The masses of people are for the union,
slavery or no slavery; but Stanley was
working them into sort of conditional
union position. pretty much like northern
democrats OF the Breckenridge school. Gen.
Hunter and Gen. Foster tell the people Of
North Carolina the plain truth that !" the
union must be saved, by the Eternal God,
eves fit costs all the slaves and other prop
erty Of North Carolina This the people
q, prove because they can understand it
But they do not approve Of tie policy of
making this war for either he abolition
or perpetuation of slavery. They deem
the Proclamation Of Lincoln right because
it is necessary war measure. They IA
vor the arming Of negroes as a most excel
lent war measure, and as resort to save
the country. One North arolinian nam
| ed Frazer, the owner of % negroes, offers
to organize and lead them into battle and
swears they will fight better than either
rebels or Yankees. A company is to be
| filed for him at once.

whats The NsEsr

We reply briefly and in as few words as
possible to this hourly interrogatory: Inc
war prospects are decidedly favorable to
the triumph D. the Union cause and the
Constitution. You ask why, and We ans
wer because the lines are being strictly
drawn between the friends and en-
emies Of the country, north and south; con-
ditional loyalty Is 10 be turned over TO the
disloyal side where it belongs; all friends
to the dhioD and Constitution, black as well
as white, are to be Used on the side of the
union; northern traitors have stolen the
democratic party organization, and are o.
ganizing secret clubs to co operate with
JEFF. DAVIS; the loyal members Of that
party will follow their treacherous leaders
short time-then desert them in body /;
the nest of young hawks will be deserted
as soon as they prove to be hawks.
The union army is being purged of its
traitor officers-at the rate of fifty per day.
In the south the union cause is gaining at
rapid rate. The Proclamation has prov
ed Just the thing in the south; it is sane
toned by the poor white people. the labor
ing classes, who have long been held down
and put on equality with negro slaves or
even below them; the blacks approve the
Proclamation; the Germans of the South
favor it; the Proclamation is opposed by
the secessionists, the conditional union men,
the negro drivers, the rebel aristocracy and
northern democratic leaders.
The war is progressing finely for the
Union in the southwest, south and middle
rebel states. The Potomac army, hereto
fore in command to great extent of rebel
sympathizing officers, is doing nothing but
watch and pray. 1t is beng purged Of
rebel officers and their places filled with
officers devoted to the union and constitu-
ton. Ia another part of our paper viii be
seen an article copied from the Richmond
Examiner, it shows how the rebels feel.
Europe is getting sound. The Proclama-
ton is putting England and France right,
and meetings are being held by the En-
glisa masses to indorse President Lincoln
and his Proclamation. This will put John
Bull right, and all the little John Bulls
right, wheresover scattered about the globe
except those who worship with the arts
tocracy of Europe and the slave aristocra-
cy of America.
In grand wide view, negro worshiping
democracy is moving north--Proclamation
democracy is moving south. The danger
is that abolitionism will grow too strong in
the south, rather weak in the north, in
which event some Of the northern states
may become slave States. Illinois and
Indiana are in danger Of being made slave
states; bat the return of few thousand
soldiers win soon vote them right again.
People at home must vote the same way
and for the same objects for which our
armies are fighting--for the union and con-
stitutioD. Otherwise there can be no end
to the war. There can be no dividing line
of separation, for there is none in the Con-
stitHtion.

Two brigades were engaged when the
Captain left, in opening the famous cut
off, of which so much was heard last sum-
mer.
The river is bank full al Vicksburg. and
high enough to IRISH through the canal
at fearful rate. He thinks it will be a
perfect success. He thinks that should
this channel becoms large enough TO adj
NIT the passage of boats, the rebels for the
present will be allowed to hold Vicksburg
while the federals turn their attention to
matters further South.
In bis opinion, it would take 10000
men to storm their Notifications at Vicks-
burg. Our gun and mortar boats could
shell the city from where they lie on the
north side of the river bend; but even If
it were entirely destroyed, the Notifications,
which extend for miles back, would be as
formidable as ever.

Camp Randall.

The following is the report Of the Joint
committee Of the Senate and Assembly APP
pointed TO examine Camp Randall and re-
portupon the quality of provisions served
to the soldiers; itshows that there are reb-
el-sympathizers in charge Of The provision
supply department. at that camp:
Your committee have made a minute ex-
animation of the condition of the soldiers
Of Camp Randall, the rations furnished for
the same, and the hospital used for the
sick.
The 30th Reg, occupying the new bar
racks, is comparatively comfortable and
healthy, the apartments sufficiently spa
cious, we'll ventilated, warm and conven-
lent.
The truth, however, eompsls US to say,
hat the quarters now occupied by the 25th
Regiment, and heretofore used by The 30th.
being the old stables of the state Agricul-
tnral Society, are insufficient in size. i'm
properly ventilated, and wholly unfit for
any human being tc lie IN. They are now
filthy ard cold. The stoves,are SO small,
inferior, and at such distances apart, as to
render it impossible to secure warmth, COM
fort or health. We are of the opinion that
no entelligent stock-grower would suffer his
COWS and horses to be kept in a place SO
poorly ADAPTED 10 the continuance of healthy
animal life. The rations furnished for the
use of these men by the contractors are still
more destructive to health and life in tn q
barracks. The bread is sour. dark and not
well baked. The beans. large per cent.
of which are in state of decay, are entire
ly unfit for use. The meat was composed
of hogs heads and the neck pieces of poor
beef, much ofwhich had been killed too
long to be palatable, and to finish up this
unsavory pile Of meat, there was the carcass
Of male swine, whose vile odor while be-
ing cook ed, would turn the strongest stom
ach. A yillainous compound called coffee
is furnished these men, an execrable coun-
terfeit so unsavory and deleterious ai TO be
beyond use.
The darkest scene in this dark picture, is
presented by the place used for hospital pur-
poses. Noble looking, young men, who
/ left comfortable homes to defend our liber.
ties, were stretched upon filthy floor, and
in some cases had nothing to shield them
from its bard surface except blanket or a
little damp straw. 1t is a humiliating fact,
that these dens called hospitals, have not
the comforts Of the pest houses of our larger
cities. We are panied TO say that these
places are uncleanly, unhealthy, and dis
grace to the State.
81 In conclusions your committee in report
ING upon the provision made for The com
fort of the soldiers in Camp Randall, feel
that they are unable do justice to the sub
ject.
With reference TO the barracks furnished
the 25th Reg, andsthe rations provided at
Camp Randall, We purpose 10 make further
report and recommendation.
We recommend the passage Of a bill APP
propriating FIVE hundred dollars for hospi-
tai purposes, subject to the disbursement OF
a commissioner to be appointed by the Gov
ernor. GEO. s. FRosT, sonate

The first installment Of secesh prisoners
taken at Murfreesborc, arrived at Camp
Douglass, via the. Chicago ana ST. Louis
Railroad, yesterday afternoon, numbering
about 1909. Their appearance was not
unlike that Of those that passed through
our streets from Fort Donaldson. AS a
substitute for army overcoats, they were
covered by peices of carpeting and hearth
rugs, (which the wearers said, were clerk
ed from loyal houses;'') coffee sacks and
grain bags, with holes In the ends and sides
for the head and arms, linin sheets, bed
quilts, bed blankets, horse blankets, etc /,
etc. Their hats and caps were ofevsry con-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS quite num-
Der were bareheaded, while others covered
their heads and bodies with the same quilt
or carpet.
A very few Of the prisoners were dress
ed in the steel gray uniform Of Kentucky
