WORST TINE FOR TAKING LUNCHEON.
OF luncheons, the worst are those
taken short time previous to the hour
of rest in the evening. 1t is the sure
way to produce restlessness and sleep
lessness at night, and dullness and head
ache in the morning. 1t is, indeed, the
the very worst time in the twenty four
hours for taking food. 1t is the gin
al cause of those late suppers, which are
indul ged in by the wealthy and luxuri
Gus, and which are pre- eminent in the
list Of indulgencies that shorten life.
Cardan observes &C. that he had conversed
with many persons who had lived to be
a hundred years of age, and they all
declared to him that they had made it
rule to eat but little at night 1t is
like loading your horse with a heavy
additional burden after he has been toll
ing all day, and is weakened by fatigue,
or filling up the mill hopper when the
water is nearly run out. People may
tell us that they cannot sleep without
this luncheon, or supper, just before
bedtime, but they may rest assured that
q persevering indulgence in it will, ere
long, bring on that sleep which knows
no waking.

Stumping the State.

The Confederate of the I'd Of June-one of the
mercenary organs of Gov. Vance-contains notice
that the Governor will address the people from the
4th to the 22d June. commencing at Greensborough
and ending at Lenor. The Governor will thus be
absent eighteen days. neglectng the business of his
Office and stirring up strife among the people
Meantime we shall have Deputy GOUsrnor in the
nerson of some shade Aid-an officer unknown to
the Constitution.
1t will be seen by the following notice, handed to
US in handb form, that Gov. Vance has been using
the Central Railroad convey his partizan friends
to hear him speak. The most rigid restrictions
imposed on citizens who travel, and many members
of families who desire to visit sick and wounded
soldiers in the hospitals are prevented from doing
So and passes required of all citizens who travel
men and women; but the partizans of Gov. Vance
are inrited to travel without passes, to hear him
speak. ThssSeEernor seems to have come to the
conclusion tH1SKe has some special personal inter-
est in the public property. The pets and favorites
who surround him are permitted to purchase sup.
plies for their families from the State stores at low
prices, while the people are stinted and suffering
for the necesSa-es of life; and he sends off his cot
ton on State steamer to purchase his Yankee and
European luxures, and the Railroads to trans
port his friends from point to point to hear him
speak.
"Gov. VANCE.-An extra train will be run on
the North Carolina Railroad from Greensborough,
on Tuesday, the oath of May
Ladies and gentlemen who desire to hear Cover
nor Vance's address, can leave Greensborough and
other points on the Road in the morning, and re-

We learn that on the last day of the session, in
the House of Commons, while Mr.. Boyden's personal
liberty bill was pending, many of the Destructires
WINGED and made efforts to avoid voting. True to
their instincts as DestructiUes they sought to des
troy the organization of the House when they found
they could not control that body against the prnci
Piles ofliOerty. We learn that Mr.. Ex Commissioner
and Mr. Ex Candidate McRae, with several Confed-
crate dependents, were anxious spectators of the
scene no doubt doing all they could to induce their
partizans to disorganize the House But on motion
ofMr. Cowles, call of the House was had, action
was pressed with an iron hand and the vote at last
reached quorum for, and IL against the bill
On motion of Mr.. Cowles, DR.. Love- of Haywood,
and Mr. PEBBLES, of Northampton, were censured
by a vote of the House and fined $50 each for con-
tempt of that body in not attending and voting on
the question,

denies in his speeches that he made this promise to

This is Commencement week at the University
of this State, at Chapel Hill. We learn there are
eight graduates, and from forty to fifty matriculates
In 1860, before the war, there about five hun
dred matricuates, and some seventy to eighty grad
yates. This is the only University in the South,
we believe, which has continued regularly to dis
pense its benefits during the war We trust the
institution may go through the war, and come out
of it prepared for still greater usefulness. If
of our friends, as heretofore, will send US an ac-
count of Commencement we will take pleasure in
laying it before our readers.

To the Sherifs and Tax-CoIIectors of North
Carolina:
The following is copy of so much of an act
passed at the last session Of the General Assembly
as relates to the currency in which taxes may be
collected:
SECTION l. Be it enacted By the General Assem-
bly, Of the State Of North Carolina, and at is here
by enacted By the authority Of the same That all
taxes due to the State or counties and for school
purposes, or taxes for the poor, all payments for
entries of public lands and all fnes and forfeitures
foe the of the State or counties, may be paid in
Treasury notes of the Confederate States under five
dollars, in the issue authorized by the act of
the Confederate Congress, ratified the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1S64-and all such dues may be paid during
the present year in the old issues Of Confederate
Treasury notes Of the denomination of five dollars
up to fifty dollars both inclusive less thirty three
and one third per CENT the tax imposed by the act
of Congress.
SEC. 8. Be it turther enacted, ThatShe act rati-
fed July Sd, 1858, entitled ian act in relation to
the payment of taxes" and for other purposes, and
so much o. section second of the Ordinance No. 50
of the State Convention, ratified 26th February,
1852 directs the receiving of Confederate Treas
ury notes in payment of taxes and all other dues,
are hereby repealed.
Owing to considerations explained in my late re-
port 70 the General Assembly, our Treasury notes
of less denomination than a dollar are not ex-
changed for Confederate notes, but these change
notes will be exchanged for North Carolina Treasu-
ry notes of larger denomination, or for coupons
from our State bonds. On presentation by you or
any other person at this department of any amount
of our notes above dollar, or our due coupons,
our change notes for the same amount will be ex.
changed for them. This exchange may be effected
through the agency of the Southern Express Co.

TnE AGTAroR-But for the strife and agita-
ton Gov. Vance is creating in the State by his
stump harangueS, and the neglect of the business
OF his office by which many of the people are suf
terlng Inconvenience, we should thank him, so far
as we are concerned, for his Efforts before the peo
pie. He loses votes by these efforts wherever he
makes them. We have reliable information to this
effect from Fayetteville, Snow Camp, Hillsborough,
and other points. A friend writing US from Snow
Camp, says:
We are all right up here Gov Vance made
no impression in his favor by his speech. He let
Oh his gas to no purpose at Snow Camp. So long
Is you stand up for the people and their rights they
Will stand by you"
GOV Vance will not poll more than seven votes,
that many, or if any at ALL at Stout's, where the
Snow Camp people vote; while his opponent will
get from seventy to eighty. Mark the prediction.

o PRivArE CONVERSATIONS The staple Of Gov
Yances stump haraDgues, and of his two organs in
this City, seems to be private conversations. He
commenced this sort of warfare at Fayetteville and
he seems determined to keep it up. We shalfp
initiate him. We could fill our columns, il we chose
to do SO, with private conversations wthGov Vance
and his friends. But we would not do this, II we
were sure it would dsecure our election, and II we
knew il could be secured IN other way. We
shall refer to these conversations only in seft-de-
fence aud in doing so shall be as careful as pos
sibe not to involve gentlemen in unpleasant sltua-
tons
For example, Gov. Vance charges on the basis OF
a private conversation that we desired Convention
in November last to secede from the government
and detached sentence attributed to US is used to
prove the charge. We reply, that if We were dis
posed to assail Gov. Vance in this way, we could
prove that he said in September last the Cohied-
crate cause is gone," and also that the people
ought to tear up the Railroad bridges to prevent
the passage of troops" It would be exceedingly
unjust to him to use these detached expressions OF
his without the circumstances and the language
| that accompanied them. Under the circumstances,
| thew were natural No one blamed him for them
/
| then, as we do not now. -.
But the storm against US is not yet at its height
Our whole life is to be explored and words uttered
in the confidence Of private life are to be brought
out and used against US. The detectives" are
Alsily engaged. Conversations are to be repeated
or frhagined or manufactured to suit tae OCCASION
Gov Vance is to get these conversations up through
this City are to publish them RsFGepsEI organs IN
little gentleman, COOL MSRae) who edits the Con
tsderGte, threatens Us with more Of these private
conversations. What would he think if we were to
coudssceud to initiate his example and repeat the
very chaste and elegant conversation in which he
INDUCED towards some members Of the House o
Commons in the hall of that body some days since
The truth is, this whole business of raking up
and repeating private conversations for political eff
feet is to the last degree disgusting and discredita
ble We do not see how any decent gentleman1can
do such thing. 1t is tolerated in no other State
of the CoHfederacy but North. Carolina.

The Richmond Examiner says that Mr.. Memmin-
ger the Secretary of the Treasury, has so conduct
ed his business that though the creator Of millions
ofpapsr money, with full power to print and sign,
and with large number of clerks employed, he
finds the treasury empty with not a dollar to pay
off just claims with. This accounts for the fact
that so many of our soldiers cannot get their pay,
which has.been due them in cases for six and
niSe months. Verify, this COnfederacy is sadly af.
fiicled with such officers as NJ. Memminger But
there is no remedy. The President wiU not remove

Dr. j. T. lBAoH.-The Richmond Examiner Sf-
fects 10 sneer at the Hon. James Thomas Leach, Of
Johnston the representative from the Sd District of
this State in Congress, account of his efforts to
secure an honorable peace. DR.. Leach is physi-
clan and plain farmer, and is no politician. He is
highly esteemed where he is best known for his
Sound common sense, correct Judgment, and infex.
ible adherence to his convictions of right He is
one of the people, and has thus far shown himself
their faithful representative. Power can neither
intimidate nor seduce him. He has shown an apt
ness and fitness for his place to remarkable de-
gree, during the few weeks he has been in his seat
He has met the shrewdest and ablest politicians
from other States, and has made reputation by the
pointed and admirable manner in which he has
borne himself in his discussions with them
Above all, he is peace man as true as the needle
to the pole. The Examiner will neither increase
its influence in this State nor subserve the cause of
truth and good government by its attacks on the
representative from the Sd District.
