NORTH CAROLINA MoNEY.-We regret to learn that
considerable Inconvenience has been felt by the North
Carolina troops this coast owsg to the refusal
of the people, in many instances to receive orth Car
DINA State currency in payment for purchases. The
reluctance to take this kind of money is of course due
solely to the fact that it has hitherto circulated
here and is, consequently, unfamiliar to the mass of our
population. 10 point of fact, the Nerth Carolina notes
are fully as good any money in circulation and
the credit of that staunch old State stands quite as
high that of any other member of the Conederacy
We hope therefore, that more accommodating spirit
may be manifested hereafter by the people of this State
and that the gallant sons of North Carolina who are
here to repel the invader from homes may have no
further cause for complaint in this respect

The Warsaw S9Fge.

TIE people up in Sampson and Cumberland are at
least az anxious to receive the newspaper mails from
Wilmington as they from Richmond, and more anx-
ous to get their let ter mails from the former than from
the latter place.
Apart from the natural ties connecting all portions
OF the Cape Fear region, whose seacoast entrepot,
stronghold and very key is at and below Wilmington,
the large number OF refugee families in the Interior
whose heads, or some of whose members are with US
here in Wilmington gives additional strength to the
gument in favor of direct mail connection between
this point and Clinton, Fayetteville and other points
supplied by tie Warsaw stage.
Yet 10 such connection is made. The mail that
leaves here tonight lies at Warsaw until tomor-
row evening and gets TO Fayetteville the mornia~ after
that.
Now why cannot the departure Of the Warsaw stage
be SO arranged as to connect with the mails from the
South as well as with those from the North? This
could easily be done by postponing the hour OF de-
parture until IL O'Clock at night, instead of Starting off
at six or thereabouts. 1t would cause the Northern
mail to Lie over but very few hours. It would expe-
dite the Southern whole day. Why cannot We get
the Fayetteville O0,eruer the day after its pubca-
ton instead of getting it ths second day thereafter
Will not the Observer put in few words on this score?
The peculiar position of affairs renders communication
between the upper and lower Cape Fear country mat
ter Of pressing Importance, ard that we think
ought to be secured especially it be dose with
oat seriously delaying other mails embarrassing other
communications.
We DO wish that somebody who has the ear of the
Department would bring this matter to its attention.
viii not the worthy and energetic special agent, Mr.
LYNCH, think the matter and see if he can't do
something 1t is really needed and desired.

Two years, two darkened years have passed away

And as An overwhelming kost,
All ranks alike assaed.
To rick. to poor, alike to al,

To lowly cot, to lordiy hall,
Without res gard to age Or fans.

And numbers fed in wild dismay,

deed its devises evidently intended that it should

persons composing these called influential classes
To the man of means, even if comparatively limited

LETTER FROM Ex-PREsIDENT PIERCE TO
gHE zAT:G SENATOR PEAECE.
The following letter from President Pierce to the
late Senator Peerce, Of Maryla in regard to arbi
rary arrests, has before been published. The
position aseuaed by exPresdeat Pierce is manly and
decided, and leaves no ground fer doubt:
CONCORD, y H, January Is, 1862.
My Dear SIR: read with unusual interest and sat
sfaction the debate which occurred in the Senate on
the 9th ultimo, upon the resolution CT Mr.. Trumbu
and desire to express my thanks for the sentiments and
thoughts which tie occasion elected from you. My
convictions and synpathies are with you thoroughly
when you say, do not believe that it imprisonment
upon ettres de cache promotes the purposes of those
who desire to see this Union brought together again.
an object, of all Others to thu most desirable if
be possible"
In my estimation, the mover of the inquiry deserves
the gratitude of feemen everywhere and only utters
truth with force when he declares that " the power
without charge, hout examination WI .hout oppor-
tunlty OF reply at the click of the eleg aph arrest
man IN peaceabe portion of the country and mprissn
him is of the essence Of despotism." And vet the
public mind thus far would to have been scarcely
more reused by current events of this character than it
was years ago. when it received accounts of similar in
generations ordered by tie father OF the now deposed
King OF the Two Sices. How iucred ole it will an.
pear hereafter, when history shall be written up that at
this period of the Republic the constitutional safe
guards OF personal liberty could have been so easily
and with so little apparent concern sWeeped away.
The Secretary of State, on the 2Othi ut four days
after the debate in which you participated addressed
an official note to me, which to illustrate in
striking manner, the slight grounds or rather the
groundess suspicious upon which in these times citizens
are liable to suffer 10 reputation if not in loss OF liberty
replied without delay, and, SO as 1 personally
Affected may trust, will leave the matter in quleness
upon the files OF the Department. 1t is my beie how
that no recent has been raught WIN more
mischief than the issuing of letters de cache and
sesuent arrests and imprsonments in violation of tie
provisions of the Constitution and that the earlier the
system is eectualy checked the better will be for the

the depredatiors the Yenkee commerce BY cur pri
vaseers have put up The rate Of marin, Insurance to
tremendous figure, and tie consequence is that all
things for the Importation Of which tbs North has to
rely, have sonr sp to very high figure For instance,
the destruction OF the Jacob Bell informant tells
US, gave great panic to the New York market, and
the consequence that everything of East India
growth jumped up to loo to $50 per cent The regu-
lar rates of all things of foreign growth very high

SO cents pound, while tea sugar and like articles
range in the same proportion.
The highest prices the North those for articles
of Southern growth and produce, and for which the
North has heretofore teen solely dependent on the
South. For instance, white shifting muslin, made of
the cotton grown in the South and which before the
war could be bought from 3 to 10 cents, now COM
mands in New York 81 per yard. Tar, heretofore fur

Carolina at about 81 per barrel readily brings at
the North $40 a barrel! And the same of other art-

to feel the effects of non-nercourse and non commun

staples che has grown rich.-Ricomond Examiner.
