CIRCULATION oF BILLS.

One of the first feats of the storm was
the blowing in of one of the windows of
Burtis & Co.'s banking Office in the
Mansion House block, and the re-
lease of United tates bonds and
State currency to the amount of six
hundred dollars, which were swept away
on the wings of the eddying blast. The
lost bills consisted of two $l00 7-30 bonds;
two $50, 7-30 bonds, and $500 in State
Currency. OF this amount Mr.. Cock, n
barber in the same building, recovered
SI35, and a press boy attached to the

SINGULAR CASE OF TRANCE.

A lady residing within 16 miles of Raleigh,
who has been in delicate health since she lost
her husband in 1868, died last Friday Gas was
supposedly and friends in the neighborhood pro-
ceeded to take the steps usual on such occa-
SONS The coffin was ordered, the corpse
shrouded and laid out, and all needful prepara-
tons consumated for the funeral ceremonies
last sabbath. Strange as it may appear it is
said that while the watchers in 40 adjoining
room were INDUCING in hilarity and hot coffee,
noise was heard in the apartment where the
remains of the beloved departed reposed Sup
posing Cat or rat were playing pranks therein,
gentleman went to stop the revelry. On
opening the door he was Mortified to find the
lady standing in the floor, the very incarnation
of perplexity. The brave fellow hastily retreat
ed, his demonstrations excited the rest Of the
party, and the whole crew, shrieking and trem.
bling, deserted the house for season. An Ell.
derby negress, more courageous than others
went into the dwelling, ascertained the state OF
affairs, and with christian heroism miDstered to
tie necessities of the dead live one.
Search was then made for the retreaters, who
being found at neighbours, returned to the
donlci they had SO shamefully abandoned.
DIR Bell, formerly of Greenville, s. c., who
has attended the lady during the past six mouths,
assures that these are uhvarnished facts aud
present no new truths to the medical profess

stance, perhaps, is the duration of The spell,
though after her presumed deeS'oe, the absence
of that perfect icyuess whicF'ts peculiar to the
dead was remarked by the physician well as
her friends
The lady is now able to sit up and being in
the last stages of consumption, is as we'll she
will ever be. She remembers very little of the
hours Of her trance, but experienced an almost
painful thirst in the first moments of returning

CHARLOTTE, N. c..

In the House, Mr.. Russell introduced bill
to provide for the payment of the Federal Land
Tax for the year 1861, due by citizens of this
State. (Authorizing the Treasurer to sell State
Bonds, bearing 6 per cent. interest, and running
twenty years, and to appropriate the proceeds
to the payment of said taxes) Referred to the
Committee on Finance
The following bills passed their several read
ings, 7iz A bill to continue in Office the Pro-
visonal officers of certain towns; bill to incor-
porate the town of Company Shops; bill to le-
galize an election of Mayor and Commissioners
of the town of Morganton; bill to amend Sec
ton 9, chapter I01, revised code, entitled
"Roads, Bridges and Ferries"

the old six per cent coupon bonds belonging to
the Literary Fund, as collaterals in the negotia-
ton of temporary loans.
The Provisional Treasurer had In charge the
collection and sale of scattered articles of State
property, for the purpose OF carrying on the
Provisional Government This business is not
yet finished, and it will be necessary to appoint
some officers to take it in charge, with power of
using all lawful means to recover property be-
longing to the State, from persons wrongfully in
possession thereof.
The Sinking Fund.
Want of time forbids my entering at length
into the question Of the continuance of the Sink
ing Fund. I incline to the opinion that the
Fund should be continued, so far as the appro-
priation of certain receipts for the extinguish-
ment Of the public debt, but these receipts
should be applied directly to the purchase of
bonds of the State, which should then be can
celled, and appear no longer on the books Of the
Treasury as State debts. The theory of funds
accommodating on compound interest, is beauti-
full one, but for its develoyement, long period
of years, generation of thirty years or more, is
required Besides the expense of its operation,
in this time, will almost infallibly occur some
great war or domestic revolution, which will
sweep away the entire proceeds of the accumu-
laton. Such was the case with Pitts Sinking
Fund, and such fate has happened to ours.
1t is important that information concerning
the financial condition of the State should be
disseminated among the people. 1t is likewise
customary for the Treasurers of the different
States and Territories to exchange copies of
their reports. 1 recommend that two hundred
copies of the Treasurer's report be hereafter
printed for the e'of this Department. The
additional expense will be trifing.
The duties of the Chief Clerk Of this Office
very onerous and responsible.
The salary, $3.50, was fixed when the neces-
sares of life we're only half Of the present prices,
and is entirely inadequate. | respectfully re-
commend increase OF the same to $500 per
annum. Respectfully submitted,
KEMP p. BATTLE,
Public Treasurer.

swer to their liabilities and submit to the penal
ty of the law. The execution of the ordinance
was delayed by an unfounded rumor of its sus-
pension by military orders. The receipts from
other sources will be precarious and unreliable
The chief financial questions before the AS

list. Whether any, and what effort will be
made for payment of the past dle bonds and
coupons Of the State ?
2nd Whether any, and what effort will be
made to provide for payment Of interest to &C.
crue during the present year?
Sd Assuming that the interest 90 the pub
lie debt will not be paid at present, what reve
nue. bill shall be passed to supply funds for the
necessary support of the State Government
1n view of the difficulties of our situation. I
respectfully recommend that provision be made
for funding the past due bonds and coupons in
6 per cent. bonds o. long date, and that this
option be granted holders of coupons to accrue
during the present year, and that provision
shall not be made for their payment,
In my judgement this course is REQUIRED bv
inexorable necessity.
North Carolina is country of very great re-
sources. Her fertile soil, genial climate, varied
and valuable treasures of the field and the for
est, minerals and metals, her fitness for the pro-
duction of the great staples of the world, her
situation on the Atlantic slope, near the centre
of the Union, point to our State as destined TO
become one of the great centres of civilization

LOVE LAUGHS AT LoCKsMITHs-A elope-

day which occupied the attention of the gossips
to considerable degree. A young gentleman
of prepossessing appearance and maiden of at

future destinies together by the rosy chains of
hynen, but, as is often the case, the "crue pa
RENT would not consent to the arrangement,
so the loving couple concluded to arrange for
themselves Accordingly, the young lady
was piously vending her way to church yester-
day morning, carriage was seen standing at a
certain corner, and, close by, gentleman whose
motions did not mark him as particularly of
church-golng disposition at that time Wheth-

ed the carriage and so did the young man, and
in short time the carriage pulled up at the
door of minister who forthwith proceeded to
