took part in them were disloyal You wrote to
President Davis last December that peace itself was
not the "principal matter" to be considered, but
only the "effort" for peace, by which you hoped
our people would be deceived. You agreed with
Mr.. Davis that there is no hope for peace through
the common government alone, and you declare, on
the stump, that any intervention of the States 10

would be revolutionary and reasonable. You went
to the army and told the soldiers they must fight

upon the ice. We have just conversed with SOL

Resolutions Supporting the Government.
On Tuesday the 9th day of January, 1863, the
following resolutions introduced in the Senate by
DR.. Arendell, and in the House of Commons by Dr.
Grssom, passed these bodies by largo majority:
"WHERHAs, Various slanderous reports have
been circulated both in the State and out of it.
fecting on the loyalty Of the members of this Leg
slature and the people Of the State and ascribing
to them hostility to the Confederate government
and desire to reconstruct the Union therefore
be it unanimously
Resolced, That:as the representatives CT the peo-
pie, and in our own behalf IS individual citizens Of
the State, we protest against and denounce theSs
accusations entirely false in letter and in spirit
as calculated to misrepresent the sentiments Of
those who have fatered in the support of all
constitutional measures for the prosecution If the
war; and as tending to produce jealousies and
rtburnings among people who have sealed
their devotion to the cause of Southern 1ndepend-
ence with their blood, upon the proudest battle
fields of this revolution. That the charge, Of q
desire on the part Of this Legislature Or any por
ton of it, to conflict with the Confederate govern
ment or to embarrass the Presidentin the prosccu-
ton Of the war, is grossly untrue, illiberst ard
sanderous That we hereby pledge ourselves most
heartily and emphatcaly to the most vigorous con
stitutional war policy, promising in the name Of
North. Carolina, the most liberal contribution Of
men and money to the support ofit and protesting
against any settlement of the struggle which does
not secure the independence of the Confederate
States of America"
These resolutions were opposed and poted
against in the Senate by Mr. Carraway of Martin,
Mr.. Copeland of Northampton, Mr.. Drake of War
rem, Mr. Murrill of Onslow, Mr.. White of CASTOR,
and Mr.. Young of Mecklenburg; and in the House
by Mr. Brown, of Mecklenburg Mr. Cobb Of Edge

arrived at Pittsburg, and was disposed OF
without paying wharfage; SO that it would
be impossible to give anything like cor
rect estimate of the real products Of those
extraordinary wells at the outset. The first
official account we have of the receipts by
river dates from Feb lst, 1862, that being
the day fixed by city ordinances for the
collection of wharfage.
The real products of the wells will never
be ascertained, as thousands of barrels have
been lost by fire and pond freshets; besides
large quantities have. been shipped by rail-
road and landed at refneries above the city
limits. What we propose to give is merely
what has arrived at the Allegheny wharf
