Mr. Speaker, there is no State so well qualified
to commence this great peace-movement as North
Carolina On her shores, the Anglo Saxon, the
great pioneer of freedom first pressed his footsteps.
Within her borders the first Anglo American was
born. Her early history was one continuous strug-
gle against usurpation and tyranny. On her was
poured the first baptsmal blood Of American liber-
ty. Her voice was first heard for the sovereignty
and independence of the States. She contributed
much to the power and glory Of the Great Repub-
lie She clung with devotion. to the Union of our
fathers as long as she could do with safety and
with honor. Her sons fought and won the first
battle of this revolution and since then they have
been foremost in the charge and last in the retreat
She has faithfully obeyed all the laws of our com.
mon government, and kept every obligation of duty
of her fame by speaking words of peace to the dis
cordant and belligerent States
love North. Carolina with all the ardent affec-
ton of native sor and all the devotion of patriot
and never never will l counsel her dishonor.-
May my tongue cleaVe to.the roof of my mouth, and
my right hand forget its cunning if prefer not
ner peace, her prosperity and her fame ABOVE my
chief joy.
have now concluded what have to say on this
important question, and leave it to the considera-
ton and action of the Senate. sincerely trust that
. merciful God will direct our counsels, so that we
may gain His righteous favor, and meet the appro-
val of our country and posterity..

The. Fire in Charlotte.


We condense from the Charlotte Democrat the
following account of the late conAagration in
that City:
About half.past o'clock, Saturday morning last,
the fire broke out in small building near the pas
senger shed Of the North aud South Carolina rail.
rosd, and near the Quartermaster's buildings also
The wind was blowing with great rspidity, and the
fire soon spread to the she'd the Quarternaster's
warehouses, and thence to the main buildings of the
depot consuming them all, except the n G. R. R.
Warehouse, which was partly burnt, together with
cotton piled upon the platforms.
The government lost 2S, 900 sacks of corn and
oats 1000 sacks Of flour, 100 hogsheads Of sugar.
besides blankets, leather, &c Only few hogsheads
Of sugar were saved, and 5000 sacks Of corn were
taken from the ruins in a damaged condition later
in the day. The money, &c. in the iron safe, which
remained in the Quartermaster's building, was not
damaged, though Maj. Echols lost some other
papers. The loss of the government probably
from five to six millions.
The 200 bales Of cotton on the platform belonged
mostly to individuals, besides large quantities of
freight in other places, which totally destroyed
Next to the government the Charlotte and South
Carolina railroad is the heaviest loser-the loss,
probably, amounting to $2000,0O0. The whole
loss sustained, it is thought will reach $40 900 00O
Had 1t not been for the rain which fell a part Of
the night and for . day or two previous, the loss
would have been much heavier.

rnE FEELING IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-A late Char.
lesion Mercury contains the following:
In looking to the proceedings of Congress and
the opinions and schemes broached by many in the
press, and in private, able to perceive little
cause for congratulatiOn, little source of comfort
While Congress is paltering and piddling over pet
ty measures, the press and many of the people are
running wild on mad schemes of obstruction Both
fall short Of the occasion, both fail to look to the
causes of our troubles, both cover back from put
ting the knife to the seat of the disease The Exec
utive organs at Richmond boldly talk treason to our
institutions in the excess of terror and dsmay at the
condition into which the government has brought
the cause-talk about surrendering our liberties and
country over to foreign powers, and of abolish
ing the institution which lies at the base of our
whole government, and our whole system of civili-
zation. Whether terror, folly or lunacy most pre-
dominates in their schemes, it would be difficult to
say. Like owls, who cannot bring their eyes to
face the sun, these men cannot bring themselves to
face the facts. They will not look to the cause
which has produced sthe effect They cannot lift
their eyes to the Executive. The luminous light Of
his countenance blinds their apprehension to all pa
tent facts. And then they turn aside in despera-
tion to gropen the dark amidstm mad proiects for'
deliverance. While we have an abundance of fight
ing material in the country the army rolls are not
half filled The Executive himself announced the
fact to all the world, and Sherman too. Why is
this facta Because ineiciency is allowed to per.
wade every branch of the service; because favort-
ism dictates who shall command our armies be-
tools sought, and not competency; because
hatreds rule and the best and bravest proscrib
ed because laxity prevails everywhere; because
discipline is not required and where it is attempt
ed to be enforced, the effort is checked by Execu-
tive weakness and egotism and love of popularity,
whilst the serves is dsgraced and the brought
to the brink of ruin by officers who cannot be shot,
and cannot be cAshiered."
The same paper, referring to the fact that there
are ore hundred thousand absentees from the Con.
federate army, adds the following: In this depart
ment we are creditably informed, there is single
corps of twenty-sevep thousand the rolls, which
does not turn out seven thousand effective men,"

ANOTHER GooSE EGG Those of our distressed
countrymen who have been looking so long for
foreign intervention in our affairs have just found
the largest goose egg of the season, to wit, that
England and France have proposed to guarantee our
independence, provided the Confederate government
will agree to free the slaves at the end of fifty years.
But it so happens that the Confederate government
has control over slavery. 1t can be reached on
ly through the States, and this would bring US at
once to our doctrine Of State iHterUention. Are
the Destructves ready for that?
If We do not obtain our Independence until Eng
land and France shall guarantee it to US on any
Terms, we shall have to wait long time. If we
cannot achieve independence WITHOUT the aid of the
negro on the battlefield, and without freeing our
slaves and accepting degrading dependence on
foreign monarches, we had as we'll gve.it up. Any
interference by England or France in American af.
fairs would most probably lead to one of the blood
lest and most proracted wars in the history of the
world. 1t would be " the battle Of Cog and Magog"
The rulers of those countries are the wisest Of v
ing statesmen, and the necessity must indeed be
strong which would lead them to involve their
countries in general and protracted war.
It is queer notion, that the sovereign power in
the land is restricted in the of whatever means
may be needed 10 save the government from over
Confederate
1t is certainl y a new notion" that there is any
sovereign power" whatever in the Confederate
government The States alone possess sovereignty,
and the common government is one of delegated
powers. If there was any doubt about this under
the old government, there certainly can be none
under the new for the latter is expressly founded
on the principle of State sovereignty. "The gov
ernment" can "saVe" itself only in Constitution
al way. The exclusive powers which have been
delegated to it by the sovereign States must be
cised in their letter and spirit; and whenever it tram
pies on the letter dsregards the spirit 1t
to be "the government" according to the Constitu-
ton, and becomes an usurpation This is the true
doctrine of the new government, whatever may
have been the true doctrine as to the old.
It is a noteworthy fact that the most thorough
oonsolidationsts among the former ire-eating
advocates of States rights They have either
changed their opinions, or they held and urged
such opinions only for the purpose of destroying
the old government. Under the former government
the States were every thing in the estimation of
these gentlemen, but now they are nothing, and all
the sovereign power in the land" resides in the
mere agent Of the States. These gentlemen are as
nconstant in their opinions on government as they
have shown themselves unfit to manage public af-
fairs in the great crisis through which we are pass
ing.
