BILLS PASSED.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

The House was opened with prayer at II o'clock,
by the Rev. DIR. Woodbridge.
Mr.. SHACELEFORD introduced series Of reSo-
lutuus relative TO negro enlStments, which were re-
ierred 10 the special committee on that subject
Mr.. ENGLISH offered joint resolution, appoint.
ing a committee OF five the part of the House
three the part of the Senate, TO inquire into
the condition of sick ana wounded Virginia soldiers
81 ChimboraZO Hospital.
Mr.. WINSTON took occasion TO mention cir
Cumstance, IN connection with this subject, which
recently came under hiS own eye. Visiting friend
at CLimbora-o Hospital, lac was astonished TO find
that the supper ration consisted solely Of piece OF
corn bread about the size Of two OF his fingers. lie
could not say that II was to be attributed 10 mis-
management, or that il was the best that could be-
done il was certain that action for the benefit
OF our suffering soldiers IN this hospital needtul.
The father OF one of the wounded men there, whom
he was visiting, witnessing the meagre kliet doled
out TO the patieuts said that the government might
take halt that he had rather than such things should
be- aud this spirit be felt sure, was felt by every
citizen OF the State.
Mr.. ENGLISH said that it was, perhaps, unne.
cesSary open up the pictures of distress aud SUIT
feriug which might be depicted. Tie would how
ever say that there was, until very recently, want
Ut fuel at ChimbOrazO, and that the suffering In
consequence was great. As instances, several pa
tients were brought in frozen, and there was not
sufficient ire TO thaw their limbs.
Mr.. FLEMING said that the greatest nconveni-
eGce regard TO fires, he understood, the want
OF stoves. One little bit OF stove was expected
TO heat an entire ward. There might be au indeti-
nlte supply Of wood and Il would be impossible to
diuuse sufficient warmth through one OF those large
buildings 10 render hall OF the patients comfortable.
The resolution was adopted.
Gu motion OF Mr.. TOMLIN, the Senate bill TO
legalize ferry in King and Queen county, over the
Mattaponi, was takenNp and passed.
On motion OIL Mr.. BUEORD, the Senate bill fixing
the tine OF the general State elections taken
up, and the question being upon Mr.. ToNLN's
amendment, fixing the said elections upon the 4th
Thursday in March, II was after some discussion,
pnt TO the vote and adopted. The bill was then
pAssed-ayes 81, noes Z.
ON motion CT Mr.. ANDERSON, the report OF the
Committee ON Military Affairs made On yesterday
was taken no, and ON motion oi Mr.. ToHLIN, made
| the order Of the day tor Tuesday OF O'clock.
| Mr.. ROBERTSON gave notice that he would
move, at the proper time, that the subject be ais
1 cu~Sed IN secret session.
On motion OF Mr.. MAGRUDBR, the Senate bill
for the relief OF INDECENT soldiers and sailors, dis
abled in the service, and Of the widows and minol
children OF such as have been killed or have died

'FooTE ctr OFF,"
Under the above foolish caption, the Inquirer thus
refers 10 FOOte, the fugaciOus:
We are sorry To say that our old admiration, Hen
~ s. Foote, formerly Of Mississippi, later of Ten
nessee, later of Richmond instead of being sent TO
Fort Warren has been allowed 10 leave the United
States and go Europe, in search Of - the SeqUes-
tered spot where taxation is unknown" The United
States Government, instead of treating him with
the severity which shown by the Rebel Govern
ment to Congressman Ely, who paid for his curiosity
al Bull Run by prolonged Imprisonment in Libby,
allowed this truculent Rebel 10 take his choice,
either to leave the country, return 10 Dixie. He
chose the former and Is now OH the big water in
full course 10 England We shall miss him much.
lie Wa, by 10 me4us played out, y bat would have
been dsting feature in the closing OF
the bloody drama, ana could have helped To form
support 10 the spleEdOrs OF the dISsOlng tableau.
Foote of course tells sad tale OF tue condition Of
the South aud exceeds the reliable gentleman by

Three have already been delivered, and three re-
maiu to be delivered. l did not hear Col. Flour

day he spoke two hours To very attentive audience,
composed ct General Hunton's and Terry's bri-
gadcs aud the artillery the lines. Mr.. Tucker
addressed himself IL Hrginaus chiefly. He showed
the impudencc aud arrogance Of such man as
Abraham Lincoln, paryenu from the State of lii

showed that Virginia had beeu a Tree Common

because We ichipped back. Would that every re

well received, YOU may imagine.

THE NEWS.
FROM North CAROLINA.


We learn, nom the Fayetteville Observer, that q
public meeting Of the citizens g. Cumberland aud
Harnett counties was 70 have been held IL Fsyette-
vile-sO Thursday last, to advise, enhghten and
encourage each other in the earnest prosecution Of
the war. The msmbers OF the Legislature from the
two counties named, in published card, responded
atirmatively to invitation 10 be present aud par
tcipate and eXhort their fellow citizens AMI con-
stituency to ''face together aud 60 the front "
FROM THE sOUTH-sDE.
We hear of nothing from the SOuth-side which u-
didates movement on the part % Grant his late
aaseo, il seems, has exercised him terribly, and
he has consequently given vent 20 his d,sappoint-
ment by the practical dismissal of Gregg Tor his
failure 10 hold Dinwidie Court House. Ills recent
triumphal visit TO Washington doubt tended to
soothe his ruthed temper, and may therefore
look for nothing desperate from him a, long his
rcplenished stock OF Bourbon lasts.
The Petersburg Express ofyesterday says that
despite the efforts of Grant, large number of the
enemy are daily deserving. III, men were greatly
encouraged al the recent prospect tor peace, but
that great desideratum being now considered more
remote than ever, they have determined to md
themselves Of wars rude alarums, at any cost.
The woods ami swamps IN rear OF Grants lines are
said to be filed with deserJers while not few
come through the front aud give themselves up.
KIRES RAID FIZZLE
The Iredeu Express is informed that the Yapkee
aud tory force at Piedmont Springs IN the extreme
northern portion OF Burke county, has dwiudled
down 70 nothing. Kirk was. doubtless, many miles
away. while tn rumOrs Ot his advance were rife
and only few tories showed themselves at Pied
mont. There il now 10 enemy there, a. We are re-
laby informed, oag soldiers having during the last
few days, secured that whole region, capturing only
two deserters or tories,
MorgantOn, LenOir Wilkesboro' and all the pro-
minent localities in those regions are still unmoes-
cd and probably secure as any portion Of the
cOuntry-the few tories, whose little thieying ope-
ratons have been maguih cd, are away to the
north in theiT I7ountain hiding places. When will
grOuudlesS rUmOrs cease to annoy the people Of
the up-cOuntyy.
AHEAD OF TINE.
A. eleven o'clock on Sunday last We wrote
paragraph based upon information which had reach
cd rs that the enemy had occupied Oraugeburg, S.
G. We learn from Charlotte y c., paper rec eived
this morning, that this event dii not take place
uati several hours after had renned the article
in question. We were, therefore, little ahead Of
time Announcing the fact.
