NEGRO SOLDIERS.

The Yankee Congress has at last reached the
height Of perfection. according TO abolition no.
tions. Upon the passage of the bill TO raise l50,-
600 negroes for service in the Yankee army, il
was boldly announced in debate, that the negro is
as good as Yankee and much better than rebel.
1t was attempted to amend the bill so as to prevent
negroes being placed in command of white men.
But the amendment WIS voted down, aud euffee
pow stands an equal chance of promotion with any
officer in the service Of the enemy Doubtless
tie next change of commanders that we shall hear
of in the Army of the Potomac will be the
announcement, that full blooded negro has
superseded Gen. Hooker.
Lincoln's place is within the reach of cuffee If
the principle recognized be carried out, and the
Congress OF the United States may in our day be
set with "black diamonds"
This result is consistent with the sentiment of
the dominant party of the United States Such is
the legitimate fruit, which hangs upon the
branches of the "best government that ever exist
ed" and for leaving such amalgamated mess,
true Southerners arc denounced in North Carolina,
as destructives
How would our Conservative friends, who are
so bitterly opposed to carrying slavery amongst
unwilling people, relish the pleasure of sitting
in the Congress of the United States along side Of
a full blown "American citizen of African descent
in the dog days
How long would he retain his Conservatism
when he was pointed at by negro and denounced
as "Dat dar rebel from de Souf"
And yet the corner stone of the Conservative
party is opposition to the men who have forever
freed the white men of the South from such an
association.-RdleiyhJ Journal

Our rivers and harbors abound ia high and low
pressure steamers, adapted to the river commerce.
The bulls Of these steamers are unusually good,
and with the requisite strengthening, can be made
sufficiently staunch for rams.
Upon the boiler deck, cstton bales two or three
deep are piled up and fastened securely to frames
built up from the hold the boat These extend
all around the boilers and machinery A row Of
cotton bales is also placed on the cabin, and yet
another on the hurricane deck 70 protect The

Sharp-shooters and swivels frcm behind these

to sweep the decks Of the enemy, aud thus prepare

The wrought iron bowsprt with barbs are OF
more importance than the steel prows, inasmuch
they enable our boats TO hang on to the enemy's
ships until the crews can board. The crews ara
generally one hundred aud fifty to two hundred
men, armed with double-barreled guns, pistols,
cutlasses and bewie-kniyes, aud able generally 10

The capture Of the Harriet Lane was achieved
with the loss of but ve men 10 the vessel boarding
her, aud so little injury done to either vessel
that both of them now ready for active
service again.
With such vessels fitted up on all our bays and
rivers, We could soon have large portion Of the
enemy's feet. Bat for the white flag rusO Of
the enemy, We could now have twelve instead Of
five Of the feet at Galveston.

Practice VS.. PREAoHING.-One day last
week, here in Raleigh, Capt w. IA. Bagley, Sena-
tor from Pasquotank and Perquimans, applied for
and received his pay as Captain in the army for
two months last past.
Now there can be no doubt of the Captains
right to apply for and receive his pay notwith-
standing he has rendered no service to the coun-
try for it, in consequence Of his presence in the
Legislature Aud there can be no doubt of Capt.
Bagley's right TO apply for and receive pay again
for the same ta0o months as member of the
Senate, because the law in our opinion permits
him to hold the two Offices and to receive pay for
them But Capt. Bagley is one of the Conserya-
tive Senators who voted against the right of Cen
eral Martin to hold two Offices though receiving
pay but for one of them. A difference, this, be-

ENGLAND-It is, we learn from authentic
source, not fact that the British Cabinet is so
much opposed to our Confederacy. When the
Trent affair occurred, and our Commissioners were
taken from a British vessel, Lord Palmerston
wrote demand for their restoration in such
terms that war with the United States would
certainly have been the result. The despatch
was submitted to the Queen for her signature, aud
Prince Albert insisted she should not sign it. lie
declared he would never recognize Government
where the peculiar institution existed, and ne
impressed it so strongly on the Queen that she
considers it religious duty to carry out his
urgent request to her. This prevents the renewal
of any Cabinet proposal to her on the subject as
it is well known all subjects are avoided that are
likely to give her any lneatal disturbances.
We must not depend on any hopes of reeognl-
tion by England, until cur Government IS hrmiy
established, and recognized by the Other great
powers of Europe Cblamlia Carolinson.
