The Raleigh IN. C,) Standard claims that
eight out of ten of the members Of the rebel
Congress elect, from that State, are conserva-
tive, in favor of peace and the submission and
return of the State to the Union. Those Of
them, three in number, who announce them
selves in favor of peace on any terms, and
who were most severe in their condemnation
of the rebel Administration, are stated to have
rec ieued the largest naajoritses. The "con-
servative" candidates also received a majority
of the soldiers vote.

THERE must be great many Flora NC
Fimseys in Richmond. A bonnet sold there
recently for $500, and other articles of the
female toilet are held at equally exorbitant
rates. Poor people, clearly, cannot have
much to wear. The following appeared in
the Richmond Dispatch some days since:
" Wanted to sell privately, by lady who
is going out of mourning, an excellent black
French merino dress, not soiled. Any one
wishing to examine the dress can have it sent
to their residence by addressing a note to

No More Fighting in Georgia-Rssults and Pros
pe6tR
CHATroNAoGA, November 80.

CHATTONAOGA, November 80.
There has been no fighting, in this army
since Hooker's attack on Bragg's rear at
Ringgold on the 26th. Bragg was forced to
march on after being badly whipped and in
flicting considerable loss on Hooker Our
loss is about 500 to 600; the enemy's is much
larger. We have taken about 5000 prison
ers in the three days battles, many of whom
are officers. The army movements are not
for the public eye, at present, but when it
strikes again it will be equally as successful as
at Missionary Ridge on the oath.

Explosion OF A SHELL.-An accident oc-
Cured at Gettysburg, Pa, on the 10th, by
which Mr.. Russell NJ. Briggs, who resides in
Philadelphia, had both his hands shattered by
the explosion of shell, and boy named Allen
Frazer, aged about IL years, was instantly
killed. Briggs had removed the fuse from the
shell, and was endeavoring to force the powder
from it by striking it upon a granite rock
when, unhappily for him, it exploded. Ampu'
tation of both hands had to be resorted to.

Congress meets Monday next There is
quite an animated contest for the Union NOM
ination for Speaker between Colfax of Indi-
ana, and Washburne of Wisconsin. 1t is re-
garded as certain that the person who re-
ceives the nomination will be elected, though
an effort will probably be made to prevent it
by a few doubtful Union members from the
Border States. The Democrats have about
given up the hope of securing the organiza-
tion-and the contest for the empty honor of
being defeated is between Pendleton and Cox,
of this State. We shall give the Presidents
message in our next issue. Washington cor
respondents say it will be quite moderate in
length.

From Misunderstanding and ImprObabilitie.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Washington
correspondent of the Evening Post of the I4th
says: The Courier employed by the newspa-
pers came in from Gen. Meades headquar-
ters early this morning. He left the South
side of the RapidaD yesterday Tuesday NOR
ming. and no serious fighting had occurred up
to that hour. 1t was not then believed that
Meade would attack Gen. Lee before to-day;
and it was considered possible that no battle
would be fought as the army only carried ra-
tion for very brief campaign. It will have
to fight soon or fall back for supplies. 1t is
possible that when Meade has finished the
work he has undertaken, he will fall back on
Fredericksburg, though nothing is khown on
that point. AT five o'clock this afternoon the
Government had received nothing from the
Rapidan, and in official circles this fact is ac-
cepted as favorable rather than the contrary.

TIE LEGISLATURE. Nearly the whole
time Of the two Houses Of the General
Assembly, yesterday, was spent in the
preparation of business for future action.

Capt Mcdaniel in reference to river de
fences. The Governor recommends that
Capt. Med. be allowed the privilege of
explaining his plan before the Military
Committees of the two Houses The
message of the Governor and the report
of Capt. Mcdaniel We're appropriately re
ferred.
A large number of resolutions of in
quiry were offered in both Houses and
referred to the several committees. among
them one to provide for the suppression
of the traffic in gold by State legislation.
In the Senote resolution was adopted
restricting, as far as practicable, the le
gislation Of the extra session to the topics
embraced in, and the subjects recon-
mended in, the Message of theGovernor.
In the House Mr.. Robinson, of Berhe
ley, offered resolution for the appoint
ment of special committee to examine
into the office Of the Treasurer of the
Commonwealth, and ascertain the mum
Der Of clerks employed there, otherwise
subject to conscription, and to report
whether their places could not beas eff
GENTLY filled by discharged and disabled
soldiers The resolution was laid upon
the. table.
Mr.. Raymond, of Marion, offered a
resolution, which was agreed to, that the
Committee on Finance inquire into the
expediency of cancelling the bonds Of
the State of Virginia in the hands of the
Government of the United States and
the citizens thereof, and, also, to require
that all coupon bonds of the State on
which interest is hereafter to be paid be
exchanged for registered bonds within a
given time.
The House adjourned at an early hour,
to afford the Speaker an opportunity OF
completing the appointment OF his com
mittees
