The DISTILLERY AT SALISBURV.-Our Legislature
is attempting to stop the Confederate distlleTy at
Salisbury, North Carolina. This ought to be doue.
This is an outrage and a blight upon our common
cause and humanity. There is no need for such All
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 dStilling
one grain of corn rye. Our Legislature as done
a good thing IN thus cOndemning the course of the
general government, and We hope it will go further
and pass law stopping the diStilling Of fruit
WAyy Not only is it essential to stop the consump-
ton of corn and other cereals in making ardent
spirits the ground that they are neceSSaricS for
the support OF our people; but 1t Is highly impor
tant tn At the fruit of the country should be dried
instead OF distilled. Dried fruit is the best thing IN
the world for soldiers, and would fill many hun
gry mouth at home for which bread and meat can
not be got in abundance--and even in sufficiency
What was the course as 10 fruit this year2 The
people sied it largely, have either sold the brandy
at high prices, or the government has impressed 1t
at low prices, and for what? For the soldiers we
are told. Do they get the brandy? Never. The
common sOldiery never 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 benefit Of it-they get ten dollars
per gallon in deprecated currency, and the COM
soldiers never see it often enough to keep from
forgetting how it tastes.
1he Oui Se""S, tne oAOeiS !" Ine "eP"i IhenNS anu
the officers in the field get the liquor, often drink
too much disquahiy themselves for the field of bat
tie, and in a drunken state lead our gallant men
into battle to be slaughtered and defeated. Let no
brandy be made-there is already enough for med-
cal aud surgical purpoSes-let the fruit 0e dried for
food Greens6orOugh Patriot
And now, who is to blame for all this? Who is
the President of the Confederate States? Jeffer-
son Davis. Ifhe 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 see better state of things in
this respect But no, the anointed must be allowed
to 40 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.

CoUNsELoRs OF STATE.-The Legislature has voted
several times for seven Counseors 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. Hargraye, of An
son.
The Confederate, of this City, one of the organs
of Co.. 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 sure to prevent the election of
Mr.. Satterthwaite or Mr.. Eldridge to the place yet
to be filled 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 ears polite that no such men
as Saterthwaite and Eldridge shall be appointed on
his Council; and, by combination with the De-
sructives 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 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.

Adjournment or Recess of the Legislature.

Adjournment 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 they should be,
and other necessary business disposed of, so 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 first of
February. We incline to this opinion. There is
no necessity for haste or impotence. Business
should be transacted patiently and with full deli5
Grafton and discussion. The people expect this
The greatest and vital interests have been COM
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 lst of February, if not at an
earlier Gay.

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 sft
the wheat from the chaff and give only what is re-
liable.
1t is stated, on good authority, that Gen. Sher-
man has taken Fort McAlster, which is fifteen
miles below Savannah. This places him in commu-
nicaton with his feet We have late Georgia pa
pers but they contain no 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
Savannah and Charleston. It says he will advance
through North Carolina towards Richmond, this
movement being the prime object of his entire ex-
pedition.
Northern papers of late date state that an off.
cia dispatch from Hilton Head, dated the 18th,
says Gen. Howard, commanding the right wing of
Sherman's army had communicated with Foster
The dispatch from Howard claims entire success for
the federal army up to that tme 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 obtained
signal victory. The Montgomery Appeal has in
formation that in the event Gen. Hood finds the
Vi NdSuhllle IOO 10 De- carried,
he WIN make Clarksville, e5 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
neigh6orhood of Richmond, renders active military
operations almost impossible and it is not probable
the roads will be in any better condition before
spring.
Eastern Carolina,
All Ouiet ahnnt R,,t, hav
that the enemy is again advancing on Tarborough.
VIZ Wemay hear more in relation to this reported move
ment before going to press.
We also hear, on what IS deemed good authority,
that large feet is off Wilmington and that at
tack may be expected OF that place at any moment.
We trust there may be some mistake about this,
but the report comes in such shape as TO render
it highly probable.

usual recess, covering the beginning of the
year, to allow gentlemen to return to their
homes. But let the public business be tenn
porarily suspended-not entirely laid aside and
let US come back at early day, COM
mence where we left off, and calmly and firmly
discuss and, dispose of every matter that pertains
to the good of our country. The times require this
course the people expect it, and our own duty and
position demand that we should steadily pursue 1t.
If there be spare time occupy it upon this Revenue
Bill But let the regular hours be devoted to regu-
lar business as it comes up in order, with no mani
festaton of haste or impatience Upon the table
are matters of more importance than the question of
raising money, and they must not be made subjects
for silence and neglect. Let every matter have
fair and free discussion.
Mr.. Courts thought the bill of paramount i'm
portance, and that it oug to be passed soon
possible. We should have nothing to do with the
affairs of the General government We had
President Cabinet and Congress, and should leave
national affairs to them
Mr.. Warren said he should not follow the exam.
pie of the Senator from Rockingham, and becoLe
excited.
(Mr. Courts said he was nervous, but'not in bad
humor.l Mr.. Warren continued. He understood
it to be the distinct purpose of the Senator from
Rockingham to hurry through the Revenue bill to
the exclusion of other matters, and to preclude
debate. The Senator seemed to expect nothing but
denunciations of his friends. He gave notice that
no snap judgment can be taken he-e,7Rnd that no
motions to lay upon the table can cut off debate
Mr.. Dick said he regarded the Revenue bill
matter of secondary importance. Many things
which alone make people love their governmen:
were to be discussed and acted upon. lie was not
willing to trust every thing to Congress, for its
past conduct bad not shown it worthy to be trust
ed. He regarded our liberties endangered both by
the foe, and by the authorities at home: He would
not, like the Senator from Rockingham, close his
eyes to the assaults upon liberties and pro-
perty. If these be taken away the Revenue bill
will be of no consequence. He believed there was
q slight majority disposed to crush the minority,
but the minority would express its sentiments in
spite of the majority. We shall not perform our
duty to constituents if we take no action in
gard to national affairs involving the vital interests
liberty and property-of North Carolina. 1t will
not do to tell our constituents that left all these
matters to Mr. Davis, and that he is infalible. We
shall be recreant to our duty if some action is not
taken expressing the sentiments Of North Caro-
lima
The bill was finally made the special order for
three o'clock, P. NJ, on Monday next.
CoUNsELoRs OF STATE.
The Senate proceeded to vote for four Counselors
ofState, and before any report was made the Senate
adjourned.
