AN IMpRuDEsr spEEcH.-Mr Hugh Waddell,

AN IMPRUDENT SPEEcH.-Mr Hugh Waddeil,
one of the Commoners from Chatham county in the
Legislature, has published speech which ne de-
liyered in the House of Commons. ostensibly in
favor of increasing the pay of soldiers but it is
really nothing but an assault South Carolina and
Virginia. He produces old documents to show that
South Carolina was willing after fighting three
years in the Revolutionary war. to return to her
allegiance to Great Britain and that the citizens OF
Charleston actually issued an address to George
the Third, praying for forgiveness and asking to be
re-admitted as British subjects. Mr.. Waddell
seems to imagine that the press and people OF
South Carolina and Virginia have been assailing
North Carolina. We think he is very much mis-
taken. Some of the papers of those States have
condemned the course pursued by the .conserva-
tve'' faction which controlled Legislature. but
they have made nc assault North Carolina. 1t
is true few individual citizens of those States have
sometimes slandered or sneered at North Carolina
but their ignorance of the history of the State and
the gallanry of her is apparent, that it is
considered best to treat them with silent contempt
As n. Caronan jealous of the reputa-
ton and honor of the Old North State as Mr. Wai-
dell or any else, but do not endorse the con-
duct of those fault finders who all the time
imagining that The State has been slandered and its
honor assailed. A man who 10 forever complaining
of Sights and insults thereby rather acknowledges
his own inferiority, position we protest against
placing North Carolina in.
AS public man, Mr. Hugh Waddell has been
guilty of great many imprudent things but this
attempt to stir up strife between our citizens and
those of sister States while all fighting in q
common cause, is about the worst. He is an Office
seeking politician, and wants to create breeze of
some kind to help him along. That's all.
PAYING DEBTs.-Matters have changed wonder
fully within the last year in regard to paying debts
Many debtors are anxious to pay. but creditors are
not so anxious to receive, and hear the complaint
frequently that creditors unwilling to have the
notes they hold settled. Debtors ought to begin to
think that we were right in always opposing the
stay law, for had it not been for that law many
debts would have been cancelled before this and the
debtor would not now be compelled to have interest
running against him. Those who took advantage
of that inqu;tous law must now submit to have the
advantage taken of them, if they are considered
good. It is said that ''turn about is fair play"
though we know some people don't believe it.
We were gratfed to see such men VIM. A
Graham. and others of intelligence. make an effort
in the Legislature to modify the tayaw, and have
the regular terms of the Courts restored at least
but the proposition was defeated, and fear that
those who vehemently opposed it did not do so
from the best of motives. The State is paying
eight Judges their regular yearly salaries for about
three months work.

ExEMPrIoNs.-We publish o-day the Exemption
Bill passed by the Senate Final action has not yet
been taken on it in the House. The clause excluding
justices of tho Peace from exemption was inserted on
motion Of Mr. Dortch of C. We publish the bill now

surprising that the House will pass it in the same FORM
very near, as it now is.
1t will be seen that shoemakers, &c, in order to

ga- We notice that the Yorkville Enquirer and
other South Carolina papers complain that specula-
tors and other persons from North Carolina buying
mp the corn in that State and transporting it to this
while all shipments Of corn, wheat, -four &C., from
North Carolina is positively prohibited. Our cotem-
poraries of South Carolina mistaken about the
mauer-there is now prohibition Of the kind-if
there is it is not regarded, for -four is constantly ship
ped from this section into South Carolina Gov Vance
some months ago prohibited the expectation of provi-
ons &C. for the space of thirty days. but that prohi
oton has long since expired and do not think it
WAS regarded when in operation The prohibition was
imposed, we think, mainly because the Virginia au-
'hornes prohibited the expectation of wheat and -four
from that State while spectators from Richmond and
petersburg were draining North Carolina of those ar
tices.

THE INDIAN LEG1oN.-Major Thomas, CON-
handing the Legion of Cherokee Indians, who
have rendered much service to the Confederate
cause in East Tennessee in our city yesterday.
The Major is now with his aboriginal allies in the
mountains on the border between this State and
North Carolina, where he is in reality conciliating
the tories. Let US mention fact or two,> CON-
municated to us by Maj Thomas to the credit of
these dusky warriors. They excel any troops 10
either the Northern or Southern armies for subor-
dination-an Indian always executes an order
with religious fidelity. They scrupulously respect
private property-there are no reports OF depreda-
tions where they are encamped. They are the
best scouts in the world, and hence the good that
they accomplish among the mountain tories and
bpshwhackers. a notice that Thomas Indians
are in section of country brings in the dodgers
at once, for they know that hiding out will not
avail against the Cherokees.. BY their aid the
Major has enlisted, without bloodshed, great
many men in bis corps of sappers and miners,
who have thus been converted from mischievous
tories and bushwaackers into useful employees of
the Confederate Government. The Major, if the
war lasts, will yet be of Infinite service to the
Governnent.-KnorpMe Register.

B- 1t seems that Gov. Vance has not been able
to regulate the profits of the Cotton Factories in
accordance with the CONSUMPTION law. Communl-
cations in the Greensboro Patriot and other papers
charge that the Factories evade the law by selling
their goods only for corn, wheat, bacon, &c. ana
then resell those articles at spectators prices. In
this way they make more than double IS per cent
profit. We guess it will be found pretty hard Joo
to control the profits of one branch of industry with
out regulating those of all other branches. every
one who sells anything was restricted to % per cent
profit, some good might probably be accomplished.
Then, not only cotton yarn cloth and shoes could
be bought cheaper, but also corn bacon, -four eggs
butter salt, &c. But it is not worth while to lee
ture or talk about these things, for all seem deter
mined with but few e1ceptons) to make all the
money they can
We suppose some of the factories exchange their
goods for corn and bacon in order to supply their
hands with something to eat In some sections
they are compelled to do this, those who hold corn
seem determined not to dispose of it to relieve the
wants of the people. But some of the factories no
doubt. specializing in the way complained Of
However. begin to see there is no fairness in
abusing the proprietors of Factories alone while

Conference Loyal.

Yesterday a resolution came up in the Meth
odist Conference on the subject of LOYALTY pro
posing that on Friday the oath ofloyalty be adj
mlnlstered to the members of Conference Some
thought it extra, as reasonable suspicion attach
ed itself to none, and all were ready when call
ed upon to take the strongest oath that could be
administered. Others thought that the example
would be useful, at such time as the present.
The vote was strong and with a right good will.
We confess a little sympathy with the minority.
but would have cheerfully voted for the rcsolu-
ton to satisfy the consciences of brethren who
favored action.
No man looking over the Conference and
quizzing the honest faces of its membership
would ever look for treason or Copperhcads in
this body. Indeed, should Morgan suddenly
dash into our Borough with his rebel brood
we would ask for no better soldiers for defence,
than the Methodist Conference TO man. arm

put the straps and bars on the Bishops shoul-
ders, and say, lead on, We are no Yankee at
guessing If combativeness, in due proportions. is
not preyelant, and ifthe call of loyalty did not
call it out. And in connection with the spirit of
loyalty, would be found a full physical adapta-
lion to such an emergency. There are few
who might be claimed as the descendants of
Saul, because head and shoulders above their
brethren. Then few whose well-fed propor-
tions might represent the seven years of plenty.
while quite number pertain to the lean kind
perhaps brethren whose active, neryons tenn
peraments and abundent labors, do not favor
the accumulation of useless flesh. Such after
a rctrcating foe would be terrible as death on
his pale-horse Then there would be medium
men-we mean physically not intellectually
whose outward developments promise well for
field service. Upon the whole, we think the
Conference may safely be endorsed, with, or
without the oath of ofloyalty. Indeed, the eoun-
try would make grand speculation to trade oil
many drafted man for member of this Con-
ference. We shall find no opposition to the
oath in this Conference. E.sstIly =.

WEEKLY TELEGRAPH
BY JAMES REED.
LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS


A Methodist Conference in some respects
resembles any other gathering of men delibe-
rating on grave subjects ;--madc up of men Of
all kinds OF tempera ments, habits and disposi-
tions. Hence the variety and diversity which
keeps up the interest during long aud tedious
hours.
The present Conference assembled in our
borough is an illustration. Here you find
your lymphatic, easy, patient temperament,
that heats up under discussion slowly, ne yer in
a hurry, willing to wait a1d listen, and will last
oil day, watching an opportunity. Such speak
to reason rather than passion, and are usually
called solid rather than brilliant, and if not
foggy, carry great weight in such bodies.
Then comes the other extreme--yonr ncruous
temperameot--restless, uneasy, ready to Gil
spare moments with a thought "a man for
vacancies, sensitive under opposition, keen for
re'ort, quick TO resent, ready to forgive and
ardent in accomplishing. Things never stag.
