The Exemption Law.

In the Senate, on Monday last, the exemption bill
was discussed at some length by Messrs. Yancey
and Phelan. Mr. Yancey advocated the twenty
negro exemption feature, and Mr.. Phelan opposed
it. Mr.. Phelan moved to lay the Senate bill the
table, and take up the House bill, and his motion
was rejected by the following vote:
Ieas-Messrs. Baker, Clark, Dorch, Haynes, Maxwell
Phelan and Smms-7.
Adys-Messrs. Barnwell, Brown, Burnett Clay, Davis
Henry, Hill. Hunter, johnson Of Arkansas johnson of
Georgia, Mitchell Oldham, Orr, Peyton Semmes, Sparrow,
Wigtall and Iancey-l9.
As the House exemption bill contains a clause re-
pealing the twenty negro exemption feature, the
above may be regarded as to some extent test
vote. The probability is that the Senate judging
from the above VOTE will refuse to repeal this odious
and aristocratical provision in the exemption law
The exemption of persons because they own a GER
tain amount of certain species of property is I'M
constitutional And not only so, but it establishes
privileged class, or, in other words, an order Of
nobility.

The Latest News.

# Is now generally believed that the Yankee
army of the Potomac has retired from trederlcks-
b,rr, a portion of them going to Washington and
others to Fortress Monroe. The opinion is ex-
messed that the army is so demoralized that it must
rporsanize Efforts are making to suppress the cir
culaton of those Northern papers in the army that
urge stopping the war and condemn the policy of
Lincoln.
4 most destructive fire occurred in Norfolk, on
the 9th inst, which destroyed the principal stores
On Main and Market streets. The loss is estimated
Of several hundred thousand dollars. A large fire
oIso occurred in Portsmouth about the same time
The Yankees admit loss of $50 in the fight
with General Pryor. The idea of PryOr's advance
unon Norfolk caused much alarm. The negroes in
that region are being armed and put on picket duty.
Late European news keeps up the idea Of French
intervention. Sir RObt Peel recently made speech
in England in which he expressed the hope of final
separation between the North and South.
Valandigham had made q speech in New York,
in which he still urges restoring the Union by con-
situtional and peaceful measures. So long as this
idea haunts the brains of Northern Democrats there
is but little hope from them for an early peace.
An early attack at Charleston or Savannah is an

LOYALTY of North.CaroIina.

Mr.. Gather submitted some excellent remarks in
the House Of Representatives, on Tuesday last, on
introducing the resolutions passed by our Logsla-
ture vindicatng the loyalty of our State. He was
replied to by Mr.. Lander, who made some extraor-
binary statements which were justified neither by
the occasion nor the truth of history. He en-
dorsed the CONSUMPTION act in the broadcst terms,
and stated that he was sustained in this by his con-
stltuents. If Mr.. Lander desires to make this an
issue in the next contest for Congress, he will see
whether he is sustained or not He also said that
the Democratic party of this State had always up
held the right of secession Constitutional right
We are better Democrat than Mr. Lander ever
was or will ever get to be; and we are prepared to
show, from the resolves of our State Conventions,
and from the files Of the Standard, that what he
says about the right of secession is utterly un-
founded
Mr.. Mclean also took part in the debate. What
did he say? His remarks not reported in the
Examiner. Did he say that the conscript law is
universally popular in his District Let US have
the speech, Mr.. Mclean.
We will publish the remarks of Messrs. Gather
and Lander in our next.
1t is very notifying to see in the Richmond pa
pers such headings as these: "The loyalty ofNorth-
Carolina indicated" This humiliation of the noble
old State in the presence of her sisters is owing to
the efforts made by Destructive leaders to produce
the impression on the public enemy that portion
of our people false to the South. Those efforts
rendered it necessary that our Legislature should
define the position of the State and vindicate her
loyalty If the State suffers in her character by
adopting such course, the blame will rest, not on
those who vindicate but on those vile caumniators
who made such vindcation necessary.
