W. Woods, promising tc pay ffTty ents to 44 the bearer in current circulating funds irhen presented in sum of five dwll'ars and The vignette a muddy looking tea box, and the bill is numbered 185. Now, we are quite sure that no such bill was either printed or issued in this city. The aforesaid Mr.

VVoods has neither local habitation nor a name" here. We advise the people to" refuge all shinplasters not issued at our State Treasury, except in case a Virginia, of South-Carolina, or Georgia State Treas i Very the west bank: and thus sweeps thlroojfh a narrow "channel just at the base tf the cliffs. There- are many persons welt acquainted with the who assert that it is impossible for the gunboats to be of much use in the reduction of this place. They say that the current is-so rapid through the narrow channel; that rt will draw the gunboats from above right nnder the cliffs SO that the guns cannot be snfflciently elevated to work; and that the gunboats from below cannot find a position irom which to reach the rebel batteriis on the cliffs' with any This is, a very delicate matter to prophesy about, anc remembering what gmboats have done, I do not feel inclined to endorse those opinions to their full extents There is no doubt, however, of the formidable na-lure of the position. In addition to this, the rebels are sinking torpedoes in the river below.

Another correspondent says I have reason to' believe that' there are now not more than ten thousand men in that sickly stronghold, and as It is on a point absolutely surrounded ou utmost every Side by an iinpasf able river, it would seem- to be easy to cut off communication wilh the rear, and soon starve the garrison Jnto a surrender. This maeh is certain Gen. Banks has St Baton Rouge now, within a forced dav's march of the, rear of Port Hudson, nearly thre times the number of the' Confederate troops. Whether they rebels) will be reinforced, in the present season of inactivity. I cannot say.

I bare always had the impression that be reel soldiers ur uuason wero oi tne most inferior Kiutt, mostly conscripts, and ready, with a fair chance, to getaway from the' service. 'In the front, the place is stronger "nature has ma-e it singularly favorab'e for defence bat the rear is possesses no Superior atJviroUges.

State Treasury Note.

Weulluded in pur last to the violent and unjustifiable 'manner in which Mr. Treasurer Wotlh has been assaifed by.tbe Raleigh he refuses to discriminate between public creditors in' paying out money. The'money in the Treasury at this ttmo is almost exclusively Confederate. The small amount of Treasury notes fundable immediately, which the Treasurer is authorized to re issue, are eagerly sought for. because they bring a premium of 8 per cent, in the market The Treasurer is not now, and is not expected soon To he under the necessity of raising money by the sale of State bonds, or fundable Treasury notes and consequently, we "earn, no more bonds or Treasurynote3 fundable at the pleasure of the holder, will be issued until the necessities of tlie -Treasury -shaM require, it.

The limit fixed by law on the issue and re issue of these Treasury notes, fundable immediately, has been nearly reached. The amount of these, which may be lawfully re issued, is hot equal to one-half the coupons or State bonds now due. The Treasurer having no right to discriminate between the merits of different claims, and not having enough of this currency to pay all of those holding coupon or to pay one-fourth of the amount due to soldiers for State bounty, has very properly de-terraineeffor the present to pay all in the same currency, to wit, Confederate When the Treasury hqtes of the denominations of $5 and upwards, authorized to be issued by the hist General Assembly, shall be received from the printers and made ready for issue, they will be paid out to all claimants on the'Treasury who may prefer theui, as long as they last but the Treasurer, we learn, does not contemplate exchanging.thcru for other currency, excepting wkh soldiers or their families Within the enemy's lines. We learn that the Treasury notes of the denominations of $3 and under, intended for change, are now daily looked for from- the printers, and as soon as received they will be sent to the Banks all over the State, to be signed, numbered, and clipped, by Clerks appointed for the purpose. Persons wanting change will, therefore, apply to the Banks, and not to the Treasury department.

We are requested to state, that to enable the County Commissioners, appointed in pursuance pf he act appropriating one million of dollars 44 for the relief of the wives and families of soldiers in the to know the amount due to each how to obtain it, the Trea'surer has transmitted to the postoffice of each County seat a draft, similar zo those issued by the Comptroller in favor of the Chairman of the Board of Superintendents of Common Schools. These are addressed in each case to 44 The County Commissioner." When Mr. Worth came into office he -fajund the Treasury much depleted. By energy and pereever- ajice he has replenished it, and he now has in a nstderaMe amount, cons.st.ng mainly of Confed-' erate notes. He receives these notes freely, and -i Ind twT.T and thereby sustains Confederate credit, refuses to discriminate between State creditors, he is.de- been pursuing for some time the very course ed by Mr.

Worth. But fact that the lieu'- iter assails Mr. Worth is one of the best evidences that he is performing his 4utJ- Meeting in Virginia Re-Construction. A meeting of citizws of Albemarle county, Virginia, was held in the Court-House on the 2nd inst," over which the Hon. Shelton F.

Leake presided, and at which tho following resolutions weCe adopted: 4 Whereas, a desolating war has now been waged for near-Iv two years between the people of the United States and the people of the Confederate States, in which half a million of men have perished, and several thousand millions of property have been destroyed And whereas, the spleudid achievements of the Cnnfiwl. erate arms render our tiual success nu longer doubtful, and i therefore leave no room for Any misconstruction of lan- guage favorable to peace therefore, whilst we are uualterably derqted to the cause of Southern independence, believing that in its successful vindication is involved all that is held dar bv a uiKu-ou ncu jieuuie ana. towaras wnicb we pledge our last mau and our last dollar; and whilst we entertain an abiding confidence in the resources of our country, thi! skill of our generals, the valor of our soldiers, and the good providence of God, ultimately to secure to us that liberty and independence, however protracted may'be the struggle: -vet, that we should hail with satisfaction the early restoration of amicable relations between the two countries, and should regard the accomplishment of such an end as the proudest achievement of arms or of statesmanship. That statesmanship in the Cabinet legitimately co-operate with military geriius in iWh field aud, if opportunity offer, that diplomacy should lend- its aid to the swTrd to prevent ao unnecessary prolongation of a fierce and destructive war; auu thai it is it incompatible with the dignity of tbe government or the honor of these States to adopt such a policy as may divide and weaken our enemies, and thereby confound their wicked designs. 3.

That we have witnessed with satisfaction the earnest disposition of the people of the States h-irrfe Mississippi and Ohio rivers fay secede from tho abolition- i lzeo una lanaucaioiat-es ot the MortU and East; 'and that, while we should prefer that the members of tins Con lede-eracy should be characterized by similar institutions, yet, upon the adoption. by tbem ofth'e Confederate Constitution we shduld not be unwilling to form a league with such Northwestern States -thereby to command an early and lasting peaci to const itute this Confederacy the preponderating powSr on this continen. to secure to us the slaves holding States of Maryland, Delaware; Kentucky and Mis-' soun-togive us supreme control over the great inland seas of ihe Mississippi and the Chesapeake to acauire possession of the extensive territories and to pro-' mote the exchange of our Southern staples for the grain and cat tle of the West. 4. That we cannot understand, mach less appreye, the course of a certain portion of the Southern press, in dis cussing this question, and, while we loudly applaud the -heroic efforts which have been made by our gallant soldiers in scourging tbe brigands from our soil, we deem it a sacred duty, so far as consistent with our hoaour as a people, to husband and cherish those -precioHs lives and liberty already put iu joopardy nn so many bloody held.

ft. lhat a cupy of these pniceedings be forwarded to our Representatives iu Cougress and the General Assembly, and also for publication iu the Richmond papers." Ihe Enquirer magnifies the proceedings by de voting more than a column of commen and handles old fogies of Albemarii them, without gloves. The EnquU husbanding. lives and limbs is a vile phrase and a vile idea while foreign invaders are on our Who is doing this? Not. the Conservatives of the South, but the frienua of the inquirer.

Every nouncea ana villided by a paper in this City (the-1 Register) which is in the interest of at least one of I the Banks-and the Banks it is well known, ts to them, i. as it I CQVO The RichmoiKiWttirer, edited bV Joiua Mttch ell, g'ives notice to he" people of the Confederate Sl.to. k.t ii-'i. a. i j.i, t.i; i.tuit3 iS not uistani wnen tney wm nave to eat horse flesh aye, mule flesh," to avojd starvation He let us take'eare of the Wsea and mules they may become our tinnde de Have.

we indeed come to this Are our. wives and children to be compelled to live on iritfle and-horse flesh Tltousands of them, we know, hae do meal of any kindt arid have had none for weeks but they will eat corn bread and parched corn the balance of their days before tbey wTM touch horse or mole meat The Richmond Enq-uirer circulates freely beyond the lines, and is extensively read iy ou enemies. That paper tells them that Our people are on thjp verge of sWyation lhat they are about to be reduced to the terrible necessity of subsisting on mule and I flesh. Whait- is this bat" aid and, comfort to the enemy? Such' information, whether true or false, bids Lincoln hold on arid go on with the war. It bids him'take courage, for the Enqui- 're pays we are starving Is John Mitchell true to the Confederate cause f1 'Whcfilnoiet that he is Who can vouch for him The Richmond and Petersburg papers are greatly excited by the manner in which Confederate officers are impressing private property for the army.

The Whig says We have some men -in offiae, who seem to be stricken W4tb judicial blindness. If by military violence, they can manage to extort from the people the means ot subsistence for to-dty, they seem to be perfectly what be-comesof people and army to-morrow." The same paper notices the contempt shown for Congress by officers who tiro Impressing in the absence of law, while that body is engaged in considering the subject of impressment, and. endeavoring to tablish ules to regulate it and then speakirig -of th system generally says It is nothing more than the same Turkish BTSte.n, which has been goiug on throughout, this State for the last ten mo th in the rural districts; but perpetrated here, where many people are congregated and starvation imminent, it makes more noise. Nothing has puzzled us more than to form'a satisfactory conjecture of the object ot the authorities fn'" instituting this tyrannical and iniquitous system. Was it intense hale of ibe.people of Virginia, on whom thus far toe burden has mainly tailed Was it intended to disaffect the whole pop illation to make them detest the cause of he Confederacy and those wb are directing it Or is it designed to convert the people iuto Tuiks, who secret their stores of all sorts' and fly to the mountains and the woods at the ap proaeh a government agent? Or is it the to Strip1 Virginia of the means of preparatory to the programme ol last April of ubnudoui-ig her to the mercy of the invader? The iniquity of the proceeding might be accounted for by the iusotenoe of upstart olhcials, who, never having had any power before, are only iplpnl on exercising whai they have nov, and making the people feel they have a master on their backs.

But its folly its ruinous, suicidal unspeakable folly by which production is to, be extinguished, and governniei.t, people u-iid army reduced to starvation that puts at defiance all human conjecture. It would seem to be the purpose of the Executive authorities to defeat any legislation ou the -subject, or Jo declare iu advance, that ihey would treat with scorn and Contempt any law that Congress might pass. If this be the object, it cannot Le met loo soon and too sternly. of' Virginia owe protection to her people. Let the Legislature declare by resolution, and request the Governor to declare by proclamation to the people, that they are under no obligation to respect these proceedings the whole system is contrary to law that it is their right and privi-Ke to resist by force auy illegal seizure of tlieir property, or if they prefer, to sue out warrants for the arrest, conviction and punishment of these felonious free-booters.

And the militia of the counties should ba ordered to hold themselves in readiness to give assistance to all citizens in listing these aggressions on their rights. In the face of Ihe3t outrages on public and private rights, and of their contempt of the legislative department, Mr. I Davis is asking authority of Cong, ess to suspend lie great bulwark of freedom the writ of Tiabta corpus, ail over the Confederacy. If Congress should be so.want-ing in spirit so derelict in duty, let the Virginia Senators at least be commanded to present uncompromising resistance to this surreuder ol ail our liberties. Thejournals referred to are complaining of what has been a common thing in this State for months past.

Our people have borne it with a patience and fortitude worthy of themselves and of the cause, and that too-whilo the official organ at Richmond, the Enquirer, has been -denouncing three-fourths of them as re-constructionists and traitors. We have heard of forcible impressments in various parts of this State. Among the numerous letters we receive is one from 44 a poor crippled man in Alamance County, who says there are officers or persons pressing c5rn and bacon in that County for the Piedmont Road and for Danville, and. tbey say they have authority for doing )ur reply is, they have no such authority. Thcscofficers may be only speculators.

Make them show their authority. If they have none, drive them by force, if necessary, i out of the County if they show authority from the Secretary of War, let them have what you can spare, provided they pay the market price for it butjf they attempt to take corn and bacon which are in dispensable to the poor to sustain- life, resist them. There is no law of Congress on the subject of impressment, and the Secretary of War, therefore, has no authority to take private property by force. Kut the Enqujrer wants the people to live on horse and mule meat. These useful animals, then, must be slaughtered.

In that event, how will the land be ploughed What shall we have to pull our wagons Oxen They must fall by the butcher's knife before the -horse or mule is touched. We suppose the Enquirer means that horsrs and mules in good order must be kept for farming purposes, and the poor ones killed for the people to live on. Verily, wisdom will die with-the Enquirer. The question of supplies is the most important one that can be presented to our people. That man who shall plant cotton or tobacco for profit during the present year, will not -only stab his poor neigh-, bors by aiding to consign them to starvation, but he will inflict a deadly wound, so far as he can do it, on our brave soldiers and on the common cause.

Such a man is an enemy to his kind and to his country. Plant corn! put every acre that you can in corn. Plant potatoes ac? and everything else that will sustain life. Plant corn and save your country; plant cotton and tobacco and destroy it Poit Hudson. a Prominent in Southern regard object of unceasing solicitude and interest, stand'Vicksburg and Port Hudson, the solo surviving warders that challenge Federal supremacy on the Mississippi.

Baffled and beaten in repeated assaults on the first, with the industry of beavers and a. dogged persistency worthy a better cause, the Yankees turned ditchers and endeavored to isolate the city by seducing the river into an artificial channel. A rumor prevails that they have at length succeeded that the raging canawl," is unfait accompli. If this be true, the reducticSi or evacuation of Vidfcsburg is regarded by mapy as being merely a matter of titoe and Port Hudson, heretofore occupying a secondarv position, has suddenly become, both North and South, a point of exceeding interest. To ihe North it appears the last barrier to free navigation of the river from Itasca to the Gulf, and to.

Tlue Adjutant Generalship. The Judges of the Supreme Court of this State met 'in this CUy ont Monday last, and decided, after argument on both sides, that Gen. Martin cannot hold the office of Brigadier General of the Confederate States and that of Adjutant General of the State at the same time. The case was very ably argued by B. F.

Moore, who 'appeared fcr the Attorney General in his absence frm the City, and by the Hon. Thomas Bragg for Gen. Martin. TWe result of this vexed question fully.vindicates the propriety and wisdom of the course adopted by Gov. Vance.

Gen. Martin hai no ground, for complaint, for ha has had time to obtain legal advice as to his supposed rights, and khe case has been dispassionately tried by a tribunal of his own selection while Gov. Vancei by resorting to the Court for its decision, has most probably avoided an i unpleasant conflict with a subordinate, and at the same time obtained for the Legislature in declaring the office vacant, and for hjis own action in appointing a new Adjutant Generaj, the sanction of Imr, as expounded by the highest judicial tribunal in the Stata. We give -below the decision of thie Judges, which it will be seen is unanimous. In olur next, we shall publish the entire case as prepared by Mr.

Freeman, the Clerk of the Court: In the malUr of the Adjutant fenrahlp. At the request rf His Excellency Gv. Vance, and of Gen. Manic, the Judges-of'tle Supreme Court have heard full argument on the, questions of law presented by the fuels set out. in the case agreed," and certify their -opinion tu the office of Brigadier General under the Con-federate incompatible with the office of Adjuitaut ienerul nnder he State of North Carolina and iliat on the facts stated, the office of "Adjutant General is 'vacant, and the Governor way lawfully 'proceed to appoint thereto.

11 It is proper to state, that in pivio his opinion we do not act as a Court, but iwrely as Judzes of ibe Court and hare treutQd the matter in the same lishs, and with the same dill consideration us if the case had been regularly before the Court, upon a proceeding.appiopi iiite tb present the question. 1 We were induced to take this action, and felt not only at liberty lo do so, Jaut conceived it was id some measnre bur duty thus to aid.a 6vordinate department of the because we were informed bv His Excellency the Governor that the subject would in thait way be relieved from all further, embarrassment and that the public in terest required that it should be adjusted sooner than it cnu.d be done by the regular mod of proceeding in Court punicular.y as the Court now holds bujt oneterni diuin the year.
