Banks returned to Grand Ecore, after the
battles Of mansfield and pleasant Hill,
an officer rode up to him and remarked:
This * pretty rough, General" "Only

This is the first ola series Of checks on
Banks" that have been related to me.
The following Il also good:
It's said that tho rebels captured at
Mansfield two wagg ms, loaded. with PEI
per collars; and that Gen. Dick Taylor
returned the collars through tlag OF
truce, with letter to General Banks, IN
which the facetidious rebel said: !
have boiled, fried, baked and slowed
these things, and can do nothing with
them. we can not eat them. They arc
aluxury for which we have no use, and i
would like, therefore, to exchange them
for like quantity of hard tack" The
.ioke is good one, and has conyulsed the
Western boys who have no great admira.

When the Western troops passed Gen.
-Bgnlx's headquarters, coming into Alex

and called aloud, GLOW about these pa

To-day steamboat was rounding out,
while large crowd Of soldiers were swim
ing in the liver. The boys cried out to
the boat, "IIave you any Of Banks paper
collars aboardW And then went up a
shout from all, in which paper collars"
bully for the paper Collars" were the
only audible words use |. This is a good
check on Banks 1t will be honored at
sight.
Another one is told in this wise: After
the two days battles, our forces it is said,

among, the letters, it is said, was one from

between the Govcrnmentand the individ-

whenever in his judgment, the public ne

respect, and the recent Act of Congress
declaring that no ono shall be exempt
from such service by reason of his having
heretofore furnished substitute, is not
unconstitutional. The questions whether
Congress intended to retain thesubstitute,
if not himself within the conscript age,
and whether this, if intended, cans be

the great absorbing interest felt in main

The Legislature Of North Carolina Is
now in special session at Raleigh. II is
said that the party called conservative
have a majority, but that the friends Of
Mr.. Holden are in minority. Holden
plumes himself on being conserva'
tive" of the rtraitest sect and denounces
Gov, Vance and his adherents as "deslruc
tives.o These retort on Holden, calling
him and his party "buifaloes."
Gov. Vance in his message opposed the
act Of Congress suspending the writ Of
habeas corpus. Ga the Goth May the Sen,
ate adopted resolutions condemning the
suspension by vote Of 20 to 10. In the
House similar resolutions we're passed by
a vote OF G5 to 33.
Both Houses have passed patriotic res
buttons exhorting the people to lay aside
all party feeling and devote themselves
with unanimjty to the work Of achieving
a common independence.
A committee was appointed on the sub
ject Of the peace and peace negotiations
The resolutions'reported by them, and
which were finally passed, are patriotic
and good enough, but there appears TO be
too much effort made to show that they
desire peace. The North Carolna troops
in the armies Of Lee and Johnston are the
only negotiators for peace that can 40
complish any thing for the country.
The following are the resolutions as
passed:
ReSol0cH, BY the General Assembly ol
the State OF North Carolina that we re-
gard the present war between the Confed-
crate Ststes and the United States, as a
war oil selfdefence, on the part Of the
Confederate States, yet we do not hesitate
TO declare, that for the sake of humanity
it becomes our government, through It's
appropriate constitutional departments,
to use its earnest efforts to pu6 an end to
this unnatural and unchristian work OF
carnage, and to this end we earnestly re-
commend that our government, after sig
nal successes of our arms, and on other
occasions, when none can impute its &C
ton to alarm, instead of a sincere desire
for peace, shall make to the government
of our enemy an official offer for peace,
on the basis Of Independence and nation
atty, with the proposition that the doubt
full border States shall settle the question
for themselves, by convention to be elect
ed for that purpose, after the Withdrawal
Of all military forces Of both sides, from
their limits.
ReSo1yed, That we believe this course.
on the part Of our Government, would be
hailed by our people and so!diery as an
assurance that peace viii not be unneces-
sarily delayed, nor their sufferings unne-
cessarily prolonged.
Resotved, That while the foregoing is an
expression Of the sentiments Of this Gen
eral Assembly respecting the manner in
which peace should be sought, we renew
our pledges of the resources and powers
IF the State to the prosecution Of the war,
defensive. on our part until peace is OBJ
tained, upon just and honorable terms,
md until the independence and nation
ality Of the Confederate States is estab
ished.

ing, and opened upon cur batteries, some
eight miles below the railroad bridge.
Earle's light battery was sent down to
resist their progress, and did it most eff
feotually. The battery opened on the
vessels and poured into them so hot fire
that two were forced to weigh anchor and
move off TIE third was so badly disa-
bled that she was deserted. The crew
attempted TO fire her before leaving, but
the shot and shell fellto thick, and they
put off in hot haste. Our men could not
get at the disabled gunboat for want OF
the proper facilities, but they kept up
their fire until she was completely
riddled.
These boats were manned chiefly by
