Meagher, the "exiled Irishman, who volunteered to fight the South, was killed in the battle of the twenty-first Gone to the War. The Jeff. Davis Rifles says the Newbern Progress left yesterday morning for the war. Gen. Singletary at the head of his regiment, escorted them to the Depot where they were met by a very large crowd of citizens, botli ladies and gentlemen, to bid them a cheerful adieu.

Hon. Solon Borland, formerly of this State, has been elected commander of the Arkansas battalion of cavalry. It is said that the disastrous news or the second battle of Bull Run, at Fortress Monroe, has had the effect of delaying the movement of the Federal forces from that point.

We find but little news by our last mails. The government very properly keeps its movements a secret The news of the occupation of Alexandria by the Confederates and the movement upon Arlington heights, has not been confirmed.

Yankee prisoners continue to arrive at Richmond. About 250 Southern prisoners, taken at Rich Mountain, have been released on parole and bave arrived in Richmond. It is stated that an entire Pennsylvania regiment has been captured at Fall's Church. It is said that of the 600 of the 8th Georgia regiment, commanded by the lamented Col. Bartow, only 60 rallied after the battle.

Gen. McClellan has expressed the opinion that something must be done or the resources of Lincoln's government must fail. Large numbers of the Northern troops whose time has expired are returning home. The panic in New York was immense. Wall street was powerfully affected.

Stocks fell 5 and 6 per cent, immediately. The Northern press universally express surprise and indignation at the defeat Of course they blame the government and the officers, but admit that the South has some courage. The defeat has taken them all aback. A desperate effort will be made to rally in support of the Capital. A rally of the South at this juncture, will plant our standards in Washington, and recover the glorious old State of Maryland from the iron heel of despotism.

It is said that the Federals have possession of Charleston, Kanawha county, Va. Col. Lee's, the 6th regiment of N. C. Volunteers are at Monterey, 40 miles north of Staunton.

Missouri. The State Convention of Missouri appears to be in the interest cf Lincoln and traitors to the South. It has abolished the existing State Government and the Legislature. Gov. Jackson is in Richmond.

He says 100,000 men are ready to take up arms in defence of the South. The Legislatare and the Supreme Court ta conflict." The last Washington Dispatch conUinsa mischievous article under this head, from which we must dissent. We arc surprised to find such doctrines taught bv that hitherto decent and sensible paper. The article question is an unmftrited attack upon the Supreme Court, because that body, as was its a decision recently upon a case of appeal from Wilson county, involving the question of the constitutionality of the stay law passed by the Legislate The Dispatch mates-, that the-. Supreme Court volunteered its opinion in this case, and pass-j bv others equally offensive and unconstitutional.

Both intimations libel the Court Its decision in this case was craved in due form, while the other cases alluded to were not brought before it Cut the most offensive and surprising part of the article, the attempt to array the Legislature rrairiit the Supreme Court and the suggestion that the Legislature which meets the 15th of August, niav orouglit to nullify the decision of the Court ani re-enact the law. Such intimations would startle us, did we not know that hasty newspaper articles do not always express the real sentiments of their authors, and are not the exponents of public sentiment in the region of their circulation. Tile people of North Carolina have determined in the formation of their Constitution, that the Supreme Court for which it provides, shall be the only authorized exponent of the Constitution itself, and the only power in the State to expound the law, and to decide upon the agreement or disagreement of all laws massed bv the Legislature with that instrument Xlsev have also determined that from the decisions of that body there shall be no appeal. Were the people of North Carolina to make a Constitution tomorrow for the first time, they would doubtless do the thing. Their intelligence, virtue, and love of law and order will not allow us to believe otherwise.

But, if a majority were to talk as the l)ilatck does, we should be tempted to question both their, intelligence and their virtue. The case is a very plain one, and does not justify the rhodo-montade of the Dispatch, or the cross-whinings of other prints, who take special pains to gratify their little party spleen against the Convention and the Supreme Court, to step out of the way to attack -them. The Legislature very justly felt that the times really required legislative interference, to prevent sharpers and shavers from taking advantage of the war to oppress 6oldiers and others, by sacrificing their property. Every one felt that something ought to be done, and that the Legislature, should for County Court Clerk of Wake, aleetioo, Jly lMj61.

Serious damage often- ensues, when the powers and rights of each are not understood, and when those rights are not respected. The recent destruction and total loss of the 6,500 bags of cofiee wrecked upon our coast, calls up this subject, and demands a word of comment. If no war had existed the civil law would have been duly executed in that instance, the (1,500 bags of coffee would have been saved, every one of them our people would have had a fine supply of coffee, and the hardy wreckers would have been benefited. Now, the question is, did the existence of war necessarily and of right oust the civil authority in this case We think not In all cases where vessels and cargoes are seiied by our navy and troops, it is plain, in time of war, the military authority takes possession of the property or persons so seized, and disposes of them. The civil authority has nothing to do with them.

But in this instance, and it may frequently occur during the war, the barque Linwood and her unoffending captain and crew were pursuing tbeir legitimate trade upon the high seas. She nears our coast in bad weather, and the usual lights being extinguished, she was driven asbjere and wrecked near our batteries at Hatteras. The question is, did the simple fact that she came ashore under our guns in a time of war, render her a captive in any sense, to our forces We think not. The military, however, took possession of the wreck, and sent her captain and crew here as prisoners of war, whom the Governor, however, as soon as he heard the case, released. The wreck master and wreckers were there to take possession under the civil law.

But tne military claimed all control, as we learn, in the premises, and kept the wreckers off. Our military know how to kill old Abe's minions, but they don't know every thing, and it appears did not know how to save a wrecked cargo of coffee, perhaps the easiest kind of a cargo that ever was stranded. They dillydallied, leaving the masts standing in the barque, which in three or four days, under the surging oi the waves, split her open, and destroyed the coffee What a loss to the dear lovers of coffee in the Old North State. Now we contend that the military authority had no right to meddle with the case. The Linwood, under our laws, was a lawful wreck, and her officers and crew distressed mariners, who deserved the sym pathies of the people.

The wreck master should have taken possession, and if not present, the wreck ers should have been allowed to save the coffee, which we are assured they would have certainly done. The coffee should have been sold to the highest bidder by the wreck master," the wreckers paid off their just salvage, and the balance escheated to the State, if the captain was proven to be a bcl-ligerant; but if rot, the balance should have been paid to the unfortunate and distressed captain, and he and his crew left to get home the best they could. Artillery. It is stated that Gen. Lee, of Virginia, has ex-pressecUthe opinion that -Artillery will decide the contest in this war.

We have suggested the propriety of each County in the State purchasing one howitzer or a gun or two, from 6 to 12 pounders, the Counties to furnish the men to man them, the horses and all necessary equipments, and the Counties to own the guns, horses, and to loan them to the State or Confederate States during the war, to be returned to the Counties," to be kept as mementoes of the war, and used on public occasions. The need of a cannon is often felt in every County. Let them be raised, and then formed into companies and regiments, and drilled forthwith. This done, North Carolina might claim first position on every battle-field. Individuals in the Counties could easily contribute the money without feeling it.

This would constitute 16 such batteries as Maj. Ramseur now commands. A more formidable force could scarcely be desired. Cavalry If President Davis has in view any important en terprise, demanding a large force of Cavalry armed with rifle, or double-barreled gun and sabre, for six months active service from the 1st of September or October next we would suggest that it is highly probable that North-Carolina could furnish 6,000 such troops at short notice after the crops are disposed of. Many of our readers are expert riders, and many of them are practised shots on horse back with rifle and double-barreled gun.

A force of this kind with good sabres would be a mos formidable body of troops, and with ordinary Southern daring and courage, could sweep off entire fields of Yankee infantry or keep the enemy's scouts, and pickets in close quarters, or put the flanks of a moving army, or foraging parties to infinite damagev It is said, that the charge of only 1500 Southern Cavalry upon the'enemy's Hues at Manassa the other day, was ter-ribly sublime. Eye-witnesses think the charge baffles conception. What, in like circumstances, could 5 or 10,000 Cavalry accomplish The only difficulty is in equipping them but these may be gotten up on a cheap scale. Homemade Bowies. One of our Wake County residing near this place, is making strong and handsome Bowie Knives, which he can afford at $4 each.

They have the sheath and belt, and a hilt like a sword, thus protecting the hand. The nSanu-facturer has sent one of them to the gallant Capt York, at Manassas. One of them may be seen at our office. We learn from the Milton Chronicle, that two of the Hamden Sidney students belonging to Capt. Atkinson's company, which was surrendered to Gen.

McClellan, made their escape, and have reached Halifax Court-house, after having traveled on foot 75 miles. One of them is Whitlock Hoge, son of Dr. Thos. P. Hoge, of Halifax; name of the other not given.

These boys are of the true grit, and will yet make.their mark in the world. Gen. McClellan. The officers sent to the Crimea by the old Government, to learn whatever was important and novel in waging war, were Maj. Mor-decai, from North Carolina, Capt.

McClellan, from Philadelphia, now Maj. General, and Capt. Delafield, from Kentucky. Maj. Gen.

He speaks of the condition of affairs in Mo. as terrible from the ravages of the Federal troops. He says one or two hundred thousand troops are ready to avenge the injuries of Missouri, if they had the arms. The South must help her promptly. Capt.

Boone, Quartermaster of the 1st N. C. Regiment at Yorktown, states that the ladies of Richmond made for our soldiers 2000 shirts and 1000 pantaloons, gratuitously. He will begin to get up their winter clothing soon. Boxes sent to the regiments at Yorktown by Southern Express pre-paid to Richmond, will be forwarded to Capt.

1861. The Ohio second regiment have delivered up their arms and gone home. Several other regiments have also gone home amounting in all to about 15,000 men. The Confederates are mounting siege guns at Fair fax. Several officers, as a reward for their courage, have been authorized to raise regiments.

New regiments are being constantly accepted, however. House Mr. McClernand said that the House should make provisions for additional resources, else the Government credit would fail. Mr. Wright said it had failed already.

In the House in Committee of the Whole the direct tax meets with violent opposition. Nothing has been heard from the flag of truce sent out to Manassas to bury the dead, or lrom Col. Cameron. It is supposed that the Southernres have a scheme on foot to be kept secret, and they detain everything coming within their lines. From Fortress Monroe an expedition consisting probably of six launches, has burned nine Confederate sloops and schooners.

In the Senate, bills have been passed to build a new bridge near the present, and repair the "Long Bridge also to investigate the salaries of officials.

IS EVIDENT THAT THE TYRANNICAL DESPO-tism which has been inaugurated at Washington City bv Lincoln and his supporters smarting under the signal defeat it sustained in the great battle at Manassas is still resolved to prosecute this unjust and iniquitous war upon tha South with all its power, and with fresh rancor. It it succeeds in the appeal it has made to the worst passions of the Northern people, the question for the men ct the South will be, not, who can with convenience volunteer tor the defence of their rights and firesides, but, who can, in fomnr and duty, remaiu longer inactive, or refuse to take the field tor the protection of all that is and dear to them? The Bittyugation of the South, is the declared purpose of that despotic government.

The destruction of our homes, the confiscation of our properly, tfiJaassacrexjf our people, is its wish its proclaimed intentira. But. the other day, on the floor of the Senate, one of its mercenaries declared that, if successful, Yankee Governorsshould be placed over the States of the South to be rule them as conquered pro-vinoes." Another proclaimed in the same place, that hemp was ihe only argument they intended to use to the South, lt is taid that amongst the booty they left, on their retreat from Manassas, were thousands of handcuffs, which had been forged for "Southern All admit that the South must arouse herself an energy and boldness, fully equal to the conflict that may be forced upon her bv the rapacity and tyranny of the Northern government, ff volunteers cannot be obtained, the system of drafting will be necessarily adopted. No one can believe, for a moment, that the patriotic young men of our State, will, by inactivity, and a disregard for the importance of the struggle, and the odds with which their gallant brethren, who have been already subjected to the hardships and dangers of the battle field," must encounter, submit to be drafted! AH they ask is, to be convinced that their services are nwded, and tbey will rnsb, with alacrity, to the post of duty and danger. This aDneal is made to the patriotic who may wish to aid procuring volunteers for a company of Infantry, to be or-rajiizHd for "immediate service.

Those wishing to volun teer, will nppfy to the whom all necessary information may be obtained. Raleigh, Jf C. if tOfl an TO THE PUBLIC.

This week. was lie time appointed for Picayune Butler to att but the news bv way of Washington us that the disaster of the Federal forces at dana gas has caused' another delay.

Rumors have beer rife here for Several days that tine Confederate force-: on the other side of the James had attacked, the hemy at Newport News, and a dreadful battle ha been fought. A gentleman who left Yorktowft o'n morning says that it was reported Magruder had sent forward three Regiments ider command of Col. Johnson of Louisiana, to reco noitre in the vicinity of Newport News, and that tli firing in that direction led them to believe at that ime thjat a battle was going on, and that the enenV were retreating. Reports reached us from Todd's Pc nt and Pig Point on Wednesday afternoon that he vy firing was going on at New-ports News, aftd letter from an officer of the 8d Regiment say' on Friday morning the firing was still going oi, Whether Magruder has attacked them or. thej at practicing, or keeping up this firing to prevent i Mdiers from leafing for Manassas Junction, is'nQt knqwn.

A few days wil! tell the story, but my ipression is, that there has been a fight and a bloo one. I admit, however, that I may be mistaken There is consid rable sickness, both in the and 4th Regiments of C. Volunteers. In the 3d Regiment there is.abo 80 on the sick list, and about 120 in the 4th Regini at I regret to, have to record another death in tl 3d Regiment young man named Thomas, fr Davi? county, a member of the Davie Greysr commanded by Capt Clement, died on Thursday ntghtrvThere are not more than two or three cases of a se ions character at this place.

Capt. Slade, oi the Reid Guards I om Rockingham, and Capt. Harrison, of the Rak gh Rifles, are both on a visit to their homes. I a prised yon in my last that the 4th Regiment had rec rved orders to be in readiness for a removal, but uj to this morning marching orders have not been rec ived.

We will publish the article from the Dispatch in our next Handcuffs for Southern Prisoneks. One of the correspondents of the papers writing from Mannas-sas, says Among the things which we have captured are 30,000 handcuffs think of that to manacle us with. These have been brought into camp, together with all their arms and munitions." We learn from a gentleman in this City, who visited the battle field, that this is so.

Gen. Scott shows his affection for his native State by preparing handcuffs for her citizens who may be taken in battle. Scott and Lincoln richly deserve to be handcuffed together, and exposed to the gaze and scorn of the Southern people. We regret to learn that Maj. Ramseur, on coming from his camp to this City on Saturday night last, was thrown from his horse and his collar bone was broken by the fall.

The former is situated on the Orange and Alexandria railroad, eighteen miles from Alexandria, and the Court-House or county seat of Fairfax county is a village about fourteen miles from Alexandria, on the wagon road leading to Warrenton. And the same may be said of Manassas Junction. The latter place is where our soldiers are encamped, and is about 27 miles from Alexandria. The Gap is in the valley of Virginia, running through the Blue Ridge mountains, and about 60 miles from the Junction. Bull Run is the boundary between Fairfax and Prince William counties, Virginia, until it enters Occoquan River, 14 miles from its mouth.

C. coast do it The Legislature felt the pressure, and no doubt with good intent passed a law, perhaps in too much haste, which the community at once felt did not fully provide a safe remedy. Finally a case was brought before the Supreme Court, which promptly decided that the law in question was unconstitutional, and of course, nail and void.

Now, it matters but little whether the Dixpatch controverts the subtleties of Judge Pearson" or not, we are very much mistaken if nineteen-twerrtieths of the people of North Carolina do not understand them sufficiently well to endorse fully the decision of the Supreme Court in this case. Wc sincerely hope that the Legislature at its next session will be able to devise a constitutional and safe law for the protection of the people; but we hope it will-do no such unwise and wicked thing as the Dixjiatch suggests. Far better would it be to rely upon an enlightened and virtuous public opinion for the correction of abuses, or to relieve the greatest possible supposed or real grievance, than to violate the organic law of the land, to trample under foot its sacred sanctions, and throw society without helm or compass upon the broad and stormy sea of anarchy and disorder. W'e are indeed in the midst of a revolution, but the Dispatch illy understands the -question, if it Bupposes that it is such an one as ignores the vested rights of the people in written constitutions and laws, and makes every thing bend to necessities or emergencies, more imaginary than real. We are in a revolution truly, but with the South it is one to maintain and perpetuate the vested rights of the people, and to give endurance to constitutions and equal laws, not to destroy them.

DyJ we not know the general character of the we should have concluded that the article in question was the product of the disordered imagination of some reckless demagogue, who designed to give a "tub to the whale," or of one disappointed in bis purpose to stave off the payment of honest debts. Ellis Light Artillery. This efficient and well-drilled company has received marching orders, we understand, and left on Monday, en route for Virginia. It now numbers 1 0.j men, 1 15 horses, with 4 brass six pounders, two howitzers, and oiie rifled cannon. Much credit is due to the energy and perseverance of Major Ramseur in bringing the company to its present condition in numbers, equipment and drill.

It is about three months since the company was started, and although it has had to contend with serious obstacles, it is perhaps equal to any in the Confederate Slates. A better class of determined, courageous young men cannot be found any where, and we are sure it true courage and a will to succeed can accomplish any thing, this company will make its mark upon any battle field. Many sympathizing hearts and good wishes go with this company. Some persons have expressed surprise that this company has been so long in getting ready. If there were no other causes, the time to drill an artillery company is a sufficient reason for the delay.

Seldom las such a company been ready for auction under less thanour months steady drilling. The following is a complete list of the officers S. D. Ramseur, Major Basil C. Manly, Captain m.
