Fayetteville Observer, writing from Raleigh, says ::
The squabble concerning the Revenue Bill
was decided by the adoption of system Of taxing
slaves so that Coach slave shall be taxed according
to his individual value as assessed by the same
assessors who assess the value of the land" This
is simple plain ad valorem. Much is due to the
industry of Mr. Shepherd for his untring exertions
in bringing this bill to proper shape and attending
to the many duties of Chairman of the Committee
of Finance. In fact may with truth say that
no member of the House has been more attentive
to business and more earnestly endeavored to
serve the interests of the whole State as we'll as
those of his constituents than he"

THE LEGISLATURE of North Carolina adjourned
sine die on Thursday last. The closing proceed
ngs will be found in our columns to-day. Next
week we will publish the captions of Acts passed.
We hope the present Legislature may never
assemble again The majority composing it, call
ing themselves ''conservat ives," influenced by
q revengeful party spirit; and it is fact worthy Of
note that they ignored and refused to sustain the
patriotic policy of Gov. Vance In every instance,
in all matters pertaining to the prosecution of the
war; the Governors policy supported and his
recommendations endorsed by the Southern
Rights members, who stigmatized ''destruc-
tvos," while the self-styled conservatives" pur-
rued a certain course for party purposes without
regard to the declarations and wishes of Gov.
Vance. We desire to be respectful towards our
State Legislature, and it is pleasure to to
blame any of it's members, but we must say that
it did many things that ought not to have been
done, and left undone things it ought to have done
We have opposed building up parties and en-
couraging party feeling while the is progress
ing and when all Southern men should be united
in concord and harmony; therefore have con-
demned the course pursued by those having control
of the Legislature.

g-The British Consul at Richmond left last
week and went North. 1t will be remembered that
the British Consul at Charleston left some weeks
ago. What is causing the removal of these Con-
suls! Wonder if the British Government is
moving them at the demand of the Lincoln Govern
ment, because they have been too friendly to the
Southern cause! If so, the Confederate authorities
should not allow their places to be filled until the
independence of the Confederacy is recognized by
Great Britain.
