As State Printer We have completed the public
laws with the index, and shall complete journals
during the present week. The public laws Of the
regular and adjourned sessions make 1876 pages and
the journals of the two Houses for the two sessions
will make about 600 pages. The private laws are
still to be printed with go ordinances Of the Con-
yenton, which the Legislature directed to be print
ed with the public and private laws. These win
swell the volume to At leass 400 raees. end il 1xt
reach 45o or 800. We shall execute this remaining
work as rapidly as possible, but we have been re-
tarded BY the difficulty of procuring hands, and the
sickness Of some engaged on the public work.
There are more printers in the army than, perhaps,
any other vocation in proportion to their numbers;
and our contemporaries Of the press will bear witness
that it is no easy matter to procure suitable hands,
Meanwhile, as it is important that the various
Counties should have copy Of the public laws at
the earliest practicable moment, and As We have
completed them, we have been directed by the Gov
ernor and Secretary Of State to send copy by mail
to each Of the County Court Clerks. This We will
do at once. The County officers, members of the
bar and Others will in this way have access to the
laws at as early period as practicable after they
have been printed, during the Spring Courts now
being held. The public and private laws in one
volume, the journals of the two Houses, and the
will be sent out as soon as they are ready, which
will be- some time during the month of May, or
about the 1st of June.

The Roll. Of Honor.

We CLEAN from our correspondence the following
names as deserving places on the Roll Of Homer:
Mr. John Swicegood near Abbott's Greek, David
son, is selling flour at only Sc per hundred and sells
at still lower rates to soldiers families He also sells
corn at 81 25 per bushe refusing higher prices from
those who would ''grnd the faces Of the poor"
correspondent informs US that Harrison Parker,
ESQ., resdinga at Round Hill, Orange County, has sold
100 barrels of corn to destitute neighbors and the
wives of soldiers at prices varying from seven to
twelve dollars per barrel but never exceeding the
latter sum. He is now selling sole leather at sew
enty five cents per pound and upper leather at from
four to six dollars per side. This he does regard
less of the exorbiant prices these articles now COM
mand.
In our exchanges we find the following:
Mr.. Burwell Cashon, living near Davidson COL
lege; is another patriotic man who sells corn to
soldiers families at 81 per bushel.
Mrs. Cynthia Wilson, Of Cabarrus county, has
been selling corn to the needy in her neghborhood
at 81 80 per bushel, and -four at ene-half what ii
brings in the market Mrs. Wilson is widow, and
has two sors in the army and to her credit be isaid
that she is not one of those who are determined to
squeeze everything up to IN exorbitant market
price," If there were few Thousand more such
people in the South times would be better in every
way.
Mr.. Saml L. Ewing, Of CASTOR county, has been
selling to the poor in his neighborhood corn at 81
per bushel, bacon and lard.at 12a cents per pound
Such people as Mr.. Ewing and Mrs. Wilson are
blessing to their generation and will be blessed,
we hope, in this and the next world

evening. The resolutions which It is proposed
to Introduce are In exact accordance with my

1t Is clearly the duty OF every 'citizon, sailor,
and soldier" to give to the Government his un-
conditional and most effective support. A
conditional support Is full of discord, danger,
and disaster, and at time like the present
amounts 70 dlsloyalty. In view Of all the re-
sources with which God has blessed us, Il
would be ignominious 10 believe that we have
not the physical ability 10 maintain the Govern.

to sustain a Government that originated in

bition, and ignorance. 1t would be distrusting

Our Legislators should be made TO feel that
they misrepresent us when they attempt "a
clog the wheels OF Government, or indulge
in party legislation. Politics and party lines
should be ignored for the present. Fraudulent
contractors and dishonest disburslng offlcers
should be subordinate, patriotic, energetic, and
free from all personal ambition. The law Of
Congress making every man a soldier who Il
capable Of bearing arms should be enforced
and submitted to. The old regiments should
be kept full, and promotions made from sol
dlers and officers In the field, for merit. Tht
President and Governors should be always sur
rounded by honest, loyal, and patriotic men
capable Of giving advice In their several de

We find the following in letter from Port

have been credlbly Informed by one In the
counsels of Gen. Hunter, that he apprehends
Gen. Burnside will supersede him. It pains
him evidently, that the troops have got some
inkling of his rumored removal, and rejoice at
it. The report is spreading, and with 1t one
that the Ninth Army Corps, numbering nearly
one hundred thousand men, will be added to
the army in South Carolina. You may depend
on II that there Is truth In this report; and II
you have to record the departure of troops,
you may rejoice that their final destination is
Charleston. This will give us force which
viii not only reduce that city, but make It the
base of future operations. Then the lombard,
ment of Savannah will be but matter of time.
