HALLEck's GENERAIsHIp.-In a recen

HALLEcK's GENERAIsHIp.-In a recent
speech at st. Louis, Gen Rosecrans stated
that :-"Previous to the battle Of Chicka-
manga he telegraphed to Gen. Halleck to
know whether any portion of the rebel
army of Virginia had been sent southw ,rd.
and Gen. Halleck replied that no troops Of
Lees army had been sent in that direction
except few regiments for Charleston
(Cries of 'Shame shame !n from the off
cers.) In consequence of this false infor
nation, the army Of the Cumberland enr
countered superior numbers; for Long
street, from Lees army, was there with over
twenty thousand men, and the whole force
of the enemy was as least ninety-three
thousand, while the Union forces were not
more than fifty FIVE thousand, This shows
Halleck's generalship in wy striking
light. Thank Providence he will have
nothing to do with the spring campaign.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
New York World writes that Gen. Grants
ideas are not in accordance with those en-
tertained by Gen. Halleck. He believes
that Lees army is a secondary considera-
ton entirely, and that, Richmond in our
possession, the war in Virginia will be over.
Therefore, he will not direct his operations
against Lee, but against the rebel capital,
and take measures to prevent the rebel army
from acting energetically for its defence.

CouNsELoRs OF SrArE.-The Legislature has voted
several times for seven Counselors of State and all
Of them have been elected but one. The following
gentlemen have been elected: Nicholas L. Williams,
of Surry; P. II. Winston, of Berthe; A. G. Foster,
of Davidson Chas. E. Shober, of Guilford; VIM.
Eaton Jr., of Warren; and j. R. Hargrave, of An
son.
The Confederate, of this City, one of the organs
of Gov. Vance, especially regrets the election Of
Messrs Williams and Winston-endorses Messrs.
Shober Eaton, and Hargrave as loyal men, and calls
on its friends to be to prevent the election OF
Mr.. Satterhwaite or Mr.. E.dridge to the place yet
to be filed This is in strict accordance with the
orders issued by the Executive. We understand on
good authority, that he has sworn, in language not
fit to be repeated to polite that no such men
as Saterthwaite and Eldridge shall be appointed on
his Council; and, by combination with the De.
structives it is quite probable that he will get Just
such Council as he wants. 1t is the intention Of
the Constitution that the Council of State shall
stand in the place Of and represent the Legislature
during its absence; but, according to the present
theory and practice, the Council must reflect the
wishes of the Governor, and be entirely subservient
to him.

The DIsTILLERY AT SALISBURY. Legislature
is attempting to stop the Confederate dstillery at
Salisbury, North Carolina. This ought TO be done
This is an outrage and a blight upon our common
cause and humanity. There is no need for such an
establishment. If or government would impress
the ardent spirits in the city of Richmond we could
get enough whiskey to do our army for medical
purposes for the next five years without distillin
one grain of corn or rye Our Legislature has done
good thing III thus condemning the course of the
general government, and hope it will 90 further
and pass law stopping the disting of fruit
Why Not only is it essential to stop the consump-
ton of corn and other cereals in making ardent
spirits on the ground that they are necessares for
the support of our people; but 1t is highly impor
instead of distilled Dried fruit is the best thing IN
the world for soldiers, and would fill many hun
CRY mouth at home for which bread and meat can
not be got in abuDdance-and even in sutiiciency.
What was the course as TO fruit this Year, The
people stiled itsargey have either sold the brandy
at high prices, or the government has impressed it
at low prices, and for what? For the soldiers we
are told Do they get the brandy? Never. The
common soldery nevex see it, or taste it. The Of
fcials the Surgeons and the hangers on drink it
that is the way in which it is consumed. So the
makers get no benefit of it-they get ten dollars
per gallon in deprecated currency, and the COM
mon soldiers never see it oftea enough to keep from
forgetting how it tastes.
The Surgeons, the officers in the departments and
the officers in the field get the liquor, often drink
too much, disqualify themselves for the field of bat
tie, and in drunken state lead our gallant men
into battle to be slaughtered and defeated Let no
brandy be made-there is already enough for medi-
cal and surgical purposes-let the fruit be dried for
food Gsensborouyh Putriot
And now, who is to blame for all this2 Who is
tho praci1ant of the Confedarate States Toff.r.
son Davis. If he would make only one example, by
severe punishment, of the hundreds Of his nsolent
officials who are harassing and expressing the peo
pie we should soon see better state Of things in
this respect. But.no, the anonted must be allowed
to DO as they please. Evils of all kinds have pre-.
vailed so long, With no apparent purpose on the
part of the President to remedy them, that we can
find no ground for hoping that any remedy will be
applied. This is sad, but true.

Adjournment or Recess of the Legislature.
A good deal of business has been transacted by
the Legislature but much remains to be done.
The revenue bill and the military bill, the most i'm
portant of the session, have not been finally dis
posed Of; and the opinion of many members is,
that they cannot be perfected as they should be,
and other necessary business disposed Of, as to
permit an adjournment during the present week.
Many of the members seem to think that the better
course would be to take recess from Wednesday
of this week to the middle of January or first of
February. We incline to this opinion. There is
40 necessity for haste or impotence. Business
should be transacted patiently and with full deli5
Grafton and discussion. The people expect this.
The greatest and most vital interests have been CON-
mitted to the hands of the Legislature. These in
terests should be thoroughly attended to. That
which is hastily done is seldom we'll done. There
are many reasons why the Legislature should hold
longer sessions, and be more frequently in session
than heretofore. 1t would not become US to thrust
our advice on that body; but it does seem to us,
and we trust we shall be pardoned for saying that
if the Legislature should adjourn this week, as we
suppose it WILL it ought to do so by way OF recess,
and return by the LIST of February, if not at an
earlier cay.

The Latest News.

We have no news of definite or important char
acter from any quarter, though there are many
rumors in circulation. We shall endeavor to sift
the wheat from the chaf, and give only what is re-
liable.
From Georgia.
1t is stated, on good authority, that Gen. Sher-
man has taken Fort McAlister, which is fifteen
miles below Savannah. This places him in commit
nicaton with bis feet We have late Georgia pa
pcrs but they contain definite information as to
the condition of things around or at Savannah
The apprehension exists that Savannah is in the
hands of tie enemy.
The New York Times of recent date foreshadows
Sherman's march after he shall have captured
through North Carolina towards Richmond, this
movement being the prime object of his entire
petition.
Northern papers Of late date state that an off
cial dispatch from Hilton Head, dated the 18th,
says Gen. Howard, commanding the right wing of
Shermans army, had communicated with Foster
The dispatch from Howard claims entire success for
the federal army up to that time, and represents the
troops as in fine spirits.
From Tennessee.
No definite news from Nashville, though it is ru-
mored that another battle has taken place between
Hood and Thomas, in which the former obEained a
signal victory. The Montgomery appeal has in
formation that in the event Gen. Hood finds the
defences of Nashville too formidable to be carried,
be will make GAINESVILLE. IS miles below, on the
Cumberland river, his headquarters for the winter.
Virginia.
Nothing Of interest from Petersburg or Richmond.
The condition of the roads, says the Sentinel in the
neighborhood of Richmond, renders active military
operations almost impossible, and it is not probable
the roads will be in any better condition before
spring. e.
Eastern Carolina,
All quiet about Kinston. But we have report
that the enemy is again advancing on Marlborough.
We may hear more in relation to this reported move
ment before going to press.
We also hear, on what is deemed good authority,
that large fleet is off Wilmington, and that an at
tack may be expected OF that place at any moment.
We trust there may be some mistake about this,
but the report comes ir such a shape as to rende.
it highly probable.

the exclusion of other matters, and to preclude

Lamentations of his friends He gave notice that
no snap judgment can be taken here, and that no

Mr.. Dick said he regarded the Revenue bill as a

willing to trust every thing to Congress, for its
mast conduct bad not shown it worthy to be trust

not, like the Senator from Rockingham, close his

but the minority would express its sentiments in
