twill be seen by the House proceedings
of Saturday, that on motion of Mr.. Jenkins,
Of Warren, the name Of John G. Hill, of Ran
dolph, was stricken from the list Of Magis-
trates for that County, on the mere allegation
that he was deserter. There was no evi-
dence that he was deserter, and no one es-
sayed to prove that the cruel and wicked
conscript law passed by the so-called Con-
federate Congress, was of binding force on
our citizens.
MI. Waugh, of Sury, who is always ready
with good saying when the occasion seems
to require it, remarked that at the beginning
of the war great many gentlemen had
pledged the last drop Of their blood to the
Confederacy, but when the pinch came they
retired from the struggle. He wished to
know if these should not also be included in
the list of deserters. The allusion was not
meant to be personal, nor was itso, but many
thought that Mr.. Waugh had made :. ten
strike" Mr.. Jenkins said nothing.

The case of r.. p. Waring.-The charge
and specification against r. P. Warning, editor of
the Charlotte Times, have heretofore appeared in
the Standard The finding of the Military Com
mission, before which the trial was conducted,
has been published, and we give them below.
To the charge and specification the accused,
Robert P. Warning, pleaded as follows:
To the specification to the charge, Guilty
except so much as alleges shat the said article
was calculated, and intended, to produce hostility
to the government of the United States, to excite
discomfort and to cause resistance to the consti-
suited authorities"
To the charge, Mot Guilty"
Finding-The court having maturely considered
the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Robert
P. Waring, as follows: "That he pay to the gov
ernment of the United States fine of three hun
dred dollars, $500. And in case such fine is not
paid within five days from date of order promul-
eating proceedings in this case, then, that he be
imprisoned for six months at such place as the
Commanding General may Direct
II. The proceedings, findings and sentence in
the foregoing case are approved and confirmed.
The fine will be paid to the Chief Quartermaster
Of the Department, and ifnot paid within the time
specified in the sentence the prisoner will be sent
under guard, and delivered to the commanding
officer at Fort Macon, North Carolina, under
whose direction so much OF the sentence US re-
lates to confinement will be executed

LATE NEWS ITEMS.
WAsH1NeroN, Jan. IS. 1859.
SENATE.

SENATE.
Mr.. Nesmith, of Oregon, made speech on
Mr.. Howe's joint resolution to provide Pro
visional Governors for the Southern States,
in which he endorsed the President and ad-
vocated generous policy towards the South.
He looked upon negro suffrage, which he
termed Radical remedy for all ills, as
remedy worse than the disease. He said the
war was fought to deny the right of seces-
sion, and to hold that the South was out Of
the Union was to acknowledge secession as
having been accomplished.
Mr. Wade gave the President full credit
for what he had done, and honored him for
the manner of doing it; but he had failed
to put the keystone upon the arch he had
built, and if left where it was, ruin would
follow. He said to President johnson, to the
Democratic party, and the people ofthe Uni
ted States, that he would never yield the
controversy until all men in America stand
upon an equal footing equal in every re-
spect before the law.
HOUSE,
Mr.. Delano, from the Committee on Claims,
made report, asking to be relieved from the
consideration of claims growing out of the
destruction or appropriation Of property by
the army or navy in suppressing therebellion,
as to pay all these claims would embarrass
the public credit and lead to increased taxa
ton.

and sneers and mumbles it's internal mountainous
in the face and eyes of honest PATRIOTISM, ana
there are not twenty editors to be f0uno IN al

strip the false covering from tne ioul anu sedi.
tious monster. They venture to utter some
timid. doubtful protests, but they leave the mon
strous usurpation, the shameless fraud, in the
fnli nossession of the field. When every demo-
CRITIC editor will speak out his real thoughts, and
say boldly and dehantly that ne DeiieVes men
like General Robert E. Lee to be patriots, and
men like Stanton and Seward to be seditionists
and traitors, there will be more honest men In
the land than there are now, and there Will be O.
better hope for nberty-fOr our country's last
ing peace and honor
It is boldly and distinctly asserted in the
foregoing that resistance to the national au-
thority was no crime, but on the contrary it
was evidence of "the loftiest patriotism and
the most illustrious virtue" Gen. Lee is
pronounced patriot, and Messrs. Seward
and Stanton, leading and honored members
of the Cabinet, are called "seditionists and
traitorsr'
The writer in The Old Guard" shows his
ignorance when he asserts that the right of a
State to secede at will was never Scaled in
question by any respectable statesman, from
the foundation of the government to the cleo
ton of Lincoln" It was called in question,
and vehemently denied by George Washing
ton, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James
Madison, James Monroe, Rufus King, Daniel
Webster, Martin Van Buren,, Henry Clay, An
drew Jackson, James X. Polk, George E.
Badger, Andrew johnson, John Bell, William
L. Sharkey, Willard Fillmore, Stephen A.
Douglas, A. II. Stephens, and many Others
who might be named. The act of secession
on the part of Virginia has this justification,
that Virginia felt, under the circumstances,
that she was obliged to fight either the cot
ton States or the national government and
she determined reluctantly to resist the lat
ter; but if she, the mother of States, had
stood firm, North Carolina and Tennessee
would have remained in the Union, the
rebellion would have been suppressed two
years before it was. and there would have
been vast saving of life and property.
