RALEIG4sF FRIDAY. MAY II. 1854.

We give elsewhere to day the latest news from
the armies in Virginia and Georgia. Gen, Lee, it
will be sees, was at Taylorsville, within fifteen
miles of Richmond, on the a5th; and Gen. Johnston
was supposed tin secure position west Of At
lanta to meet Sherman. It is not known whether
Gen. Lee will give battle wherehe is or fall back to
the fortiications near Richmond. The Richmond
Sentinel says it is believed that Grant is endeavor-
ing to get to West Point, on the Pamunkey, where
he will be in communication with his gunboats.
All was quiet on the Oath between Petersburg
and Richmond The federas are behind their for
ti6cstions near Bermuda Hundreds.
We may expect soon great battles near Richmond
and Atlanta The armies on both sides have been
reinforced, and the conflicts will be prolonged and
terrible The whole country looks with the deepest
anxiety to the result and every Southern man
hopes that in the end, our banners may be crowned
with success. There is ground for hope. Our ene'
mics are numerous, well provided, and power
full, but we have the utmost confidence in Generals
Lee and Johnston and the glorious troops under
their command. They will accomplish all that car
be accomplished.

HABEAs CORPUS IN THE LEGISLATURE Wed.
nesday, after some debate, the House of Commons
passed the resolutions reported by the majority of
the committee as published in our paper Of today,
protesting against the suspension of habsas corpus
and calling for the repeal Of the act by vote Of "a
to 80. For vote see Wednesdays proceedings
Similar resolutions were discussed in the Senate
on the same day, by Messrs Warren, Brown, Boy
den. Hall and others. We have heard the speeches
of Messrs Warren, Brown, and Boyden referred to
as very able, eloquent and conclusive on the whole
subject We give to day synopsis of the remarks
of Messrs Hail, Brown, and Warren. and shall
publish the speech of Mr.. Boyden hereafter in full
We trust Messrs Brown and Warren will also pre-
pare their remarks in full for the press.
The resolutions will no doubt finally pass boil
Houses by large matorities.

mol In the Oonisdefate service, IN gold The law Of
the State provides that all accounts and Gains
against The Ssts shall be aulited and sostsd by the
State Auditors bot the report in RalssA that Gov
Vance, disresardins this law, which is highly i'm
portant and useful one, some months since appoint
I'd couple Of gentlemen Of this City as sort Of
private committee to sxamine and adjust Col No
Ras's accounts; that the committee met and acted
undsr ths appointment; that Col NeRas claimed
slsesn kossenl deslass n gold for his Services in
addition to his pay Is Colonel; that the committee
allowed him Rss t1essand dollars IN gold, bnt that
Col xcRas Indignantly refused this amount and
appealed to the Governor for relief like Oliver
asking for more" And Gov. Vance, in his late
snsssJ2 sxIs :. A report Of the operations Of our
other Commissioner, Col D. K McRae, necessarily
inoomplets, is also submitted, and will, believe,
be found equally satisfactory, and creditable to him
a Commissioned" and then advises the appoint
ment of committee to investigate ell matters ap-
pertaining to the blockade running of this State,
DC. He says nothing about his disregard Of the
law which places Col McRse's accounts before the
Auditor-nothing as to the importance Of waiting
until Mr. Sanders returns and evidence in relation to
the manner in which Col. McRae has transacted
the business can be obtained from Europe. We do
not charge or insinuste that Col. McRae has acted
dishonesty in the matter, but We make the follow
ing points:
LIST. His accounts have renamed unsettled eight
months. During this period, u2 to the time he be.
came Editor Of the Confederate, he has been saved
from conscription BY Gov. Vance; and he, De-
structive, supports Vance, professed Oonssrva-
tive, for Governor.
3D. Gov. Vance has disregsrded the law of the
State, which required Col McRas to settle with the
Auditor. II it be answered that the laws under
which Col. AcRae acted were passed in secret ses.
sion and therefore it is not proper that the Auditor
should examine and sdjust his accounts, the answer
is, the law says all accounts shall be passed upon
by the Auditor, and private committee could have
no more right if Is much to pass upon the accounts
Is the Auditor.
Sd. As settlement OF the accounts has been 80
long delayed, no matter FROM what cause, they
ought not now to be settled in hot haste but ample
time should be allowed to obtain testimony from
Europe, to shed light upon the manner in which
Col. McRae transacted the business which Mr. San.
ders charges he induced the Governor to take from
his into his own hands.
4th. COL McRae himself, nov that he is happily
an exempt and as his business capacity, and his
reputation, as Ar. Sanders thinks, are somewhat n
yolved ought to be anxious that his whole conduct
should undergo the strictest scrutiny by the State
Auditor, 80 that justice may be done to Gov. Vance
| to himself, and to tho State.

While many of the soldiers families throughout
the State are reduced to bread and water, We learn
that shade officers who surround Gov. Vance receive
their supplies from the State stofehouse BY the W.

but it is generally known in this community that
these shade ofncers-some d them wealthy men
who are sble to buy-are regularly supplied at gov.
ernment prices-Progrss.

est suggestion, and the understanding was that the
system would not be revived. But the "Rolly
Click" was irresistble,-the Governor yielded,
and now, while the families Of our soldiers are cry
ing for bread, pampsrsd shade officers like Col.
George Little not only run the blockade and thus
procure Yankee and English luxuries, but they
draw their supplies of rice, and sugar, and meal,
and bacon and other articles from the State at low
prices. Is this to bs enduredi Will not the Log
islature direct Gov. Vance, in the most emphatic
terms, to discontinue this systemi How can Vancs

Political Agitation In the Legislatu re.

Political Agitation In the Legislatu re.
EARLY in the present session Mr. Smith, of Ma
con. IN intimate friend of Gov. Vance, introduced
a resolution in the Senate endorsing his admins
tration, and the resolution was passed and sent to
the Commons. On Monday the resolution was
taken up in the Commons, and on motion of Mr..
Cobb, of Edgecombe, amended so as to endorse
President Davis, yeas As, nays 40. Gov. Vance
and President Davis were thus united and commen-
ded in the same series Of resolutions; but some of
the friends Of Gov. Vance, fearing that he would
losevote by this public coalition, were anxions to
disunite them. Accordingly, on Tuesday Mr.: Amis
moved to reconsider the resolutions. Mr. Carpen-
ter moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the
table, believing that the House had placed the two
functionarles very properly together, and having no
wish to disturb their unity but the House refused
the motion and reconsidered. An animated debate
then took place. in the course of which Mr.. Person
very emphaticaly told the Vance Destructives that
if it was their purpose to make war on the Richmond
administration, he would advise his party to aban-
don Gov. Vance and run . candidate of their own
To this Mr. Waddell replied, daring Mr.. Person to
run another candidate. 1t was altogether an inter-
esting time between the piebald supporters of his
Excellency After much tribulation on motion of
Mr.. Cobb, Of Edgecombe, the whole subject was
postponed until Thursday. Time was thus given
for negotiation between the Vance and Davis men,
and We may expect that they will, in the end, en-
dorse the former in one series of resolutions and
the latter in another But the trick will be too ap.
parent to deceive any The coalition plain
ly admitted by the declaration of Mr. Person, that
if the Vance wing should pursue certain course
the Davis wing would abandon Vance and run q
third candidate. This much Of the coalition is
public What the private, secret understanding is
we have no means of knowing.
We call the attention of the people to the fact
that no small portion of the time of the present
session is being consumed in political resolutions
intended to promote the election of Gov Vance,
and break down the true Conservative party. Mr..
Smith, Gov. Vauce's intimate and confidential
friend, appears to be primarily responsible for this
agitation; and we leave it to our readers to infer
whether Gov. Vance himself is not also responsible
whether primarily or not is best known to himself
and Mr.. Smith. These resolutions will consume a,
least four days Of the session. and will cost the
people ic taxes not less than fourteen thousand
dollars! And all to bolster up sinking candidate
for Governor, and that too at time when the
country is bleeding at every pore and many Of ou,
people are suffering for the necessaries Of life.
