RESOLUTIONS concerning certain acts Of the late Con-
gress Of the Confederate States (
Resotoed, That while the people of North. Carroll.
ma have ever been and still are anxious to strength
en- the administration of the Confederate govern
ment in every legitimate way, and to promote the
success Of the common cause, in order that we NAV
have speedy and honorable peace, they view viii
deep concern and alarm the repeated and manifest
attractions of the Constitution by the Congress Of
the Confederate States, and this General Assembly
doth, in their name protest against such nractons
as Of pernicious example and fatal tendency.
Resolued, That the act of the late Congress, en-
titled an act to suspend the privilege of the writ
of hGbeas corpus in certain cases." violates the fun
damental maxim Of republican government which
requires separation of the departments of power
clothes the Executive with judci al functions which
Congress cannot consttutionaly confer even on the
judiciary ITSELF and sets At naught the most emphst
ic and solemn guarantees Of the Constitution
ResoIred, That this General Assembly, represen
ting the people of North Carolina doth not consent
to the sacrifice Of the vital principles of free gov.
eminent, in war carried on solely to secure and
perpetuate them, and doth declare tina. no "cond.
tons of public Danger present prospective, prob
able or possible can render the liberties of the peo
pie incompatible with the public safety.
Res0gued, That the act of the same Congress, en-.
titled ian act to organize forces to serve during the
war;" declaring all white men residents of the Con-
federate States between the ages of seventeen and
fifty to be IN the military service, embracing in its
provisions every State officer in all the Department.

Mr. Warren in reply expressed his embarrassment

New Hanover had also dwelt in his remarks upon
the causes that led to the present war, but Is he
could not see how such topics were german to the

it had been stated by Mr.. Baldwin of Virginia, that

"As goes Maine, SO goes the Country


The foolish Advertiser labored, a short time
since, to prove that the adage "as goes Maine
so goes the country" is not justified by the
facts. Now, everybody knows that for the
last thirty-five years the saying is true n res
pect to the loyal States-in respect to all the
States that aoill this gear uote for President
and Vice-P President. 81 aaso
In 1882 majority of the electoral votes Of
these States were given for Gen. jackson; so
were those of Maine. In 1886 they gave a
majority for Van Buren,; Maine voted for Van
Buren,. In 1910 for Harrison; Maine voted
for Harrison. In 1874 for Polk; Maine voted
for Polk. In 1S4S for Gen. Taylor; Maine
went for Cass (but by minority vote). In
1852 for Pierce; Maine voted for Pierce. In
1856 for Fremont; Maine voted for Fremont.
In 1860 for Lincoln; and Maine voted for Lin
coin. So that, with the single exception of
1S4S, as Maine has gone, majority of all the
States that will vote in 1864, have gone since
the organization of the Democratic party up
on the first election of Jackson. And the ex-
ception Of 1S4S was not real exception, for
in that year the majority against Cass in the
State was decided, but being divided as to
candidates, although agreeing substantially as
to principle, they were defeated at the polls

for more than third of century that Maine
in her September election, has always indicat-

derating sentiment of the Northern, Western
and Middle States, as expressed by them in
November, would be.

Testimonial to Mrs. @. A. L. Sampson.


The Washington Chronicle says THIS lady,
who has devoted three years to the service OF
the sick and wounded, finding II necessary TO
recuperate her health by visit TO her nome
in Bath. a few of her many friends availed
themselves of the opportunity afforded by a
farewell call. at the residence of DIR. Donald
son. to testify their appreciation of her SER
vices by the presentation of a superb gold
watch and chain.
The whole affair was complete surprise to
the worthy recipient of the compliment; the
first intimation that anything extraordinary
was on the tdpis being the impromptu coming
to order of the company assembled, and the
reading, by DIR. Donaldson, of the following
note:

Official Vote for Congress in the LIST District

The following is the official vote for Repre-
sentative to Congress from this district. as OBJ
tanned from the returns made to the office OF
the Secretary Of State, by which it will be
seen that the majority for Mr.. Lynch over Mr..
Sweat is 1869. There were but three scatter
ing votes in the whole Distinctive in Port
land and one in Yarmouth.
A comparison of the vote this year with
that thrown two years ago, when Mr.. Sweat
was elected by 143 majority over Mr.. Good
win, shows nett Unien gain of Pip votes.
1t proves also that Mr.. Sweat has not repre-
sented the will of the majority in his district.
But the sovereign people have set this matter
all right, and will be represented in the next
Congress by man who will not disregard the
voice of his constituents:

Anol;no for Salmon.

Prince Alfred during his Norwegian cruise
visited the Duke of Roxburghe at his fishing
quarters on the Alien, probably one Of the
finest salmon rivers on the globe. The first
day he wet his line" killed four fine salmon
and six grilse. The next day he passed 20
miles further up the river, and killed sixty
salmon and grisle. Returning he tried his
luck again. During six days he killed 40
salmon and SIS grisle, the whole weighing
1919 pounds. For the information of our
anglers we state that the grisle is salmon
not fully grown. 1t is the name for salmon

TREATMENT OF UNION PRIsoNERs.--The
committee appointed by the U. S. Sanitary
Commission to investigate the reports of the
suffering of our soldiers in rebel prisons, have
published a pamphlet, giving full account of
the barbarous and inhuman acts that came to
their knowledge, which confirm the truth of
barbarity of the rebels. The prisoners were
cruelty abused and actually starved; hundreds
of them froze to death and in the hospitals
even, the patients were SO neglected that about
one half OF them died. And yet, the copper
heads, instead of denounciDg this inhumanity
of the rebels, throw all the blame for the suf-
fering Of our imprisoned soldiers upon the
