Loans to-' 'any Tery large be easily" effected; becauseCpf. the small amount of active, capital in the South.

The following plan, however, authorized by the Confederate-States, strikes as as a feasible one, and if car-ried'out will no doubt, greatly relieve the wants of the government -The brief exposition annexed is taken from an appeal to the planters of Georgia by the commissioners appointed in that State Annexed ihereto, is a copy of the first section, of an act authorize a loan, By it you will see that the Confederate bonds, bearing eight per cent, may be issued for "Jhe proceeds of the sales of raw produce." TJnder this, the Government proposes to every planter and farmer to receive from him a subscription in advance of his crop, of any portion thereof, exceeding one hundred dollars in value, and to pay him for the same in Confederate bonds so soon as the crop is made and sold. lo illustrate You make two thousand bushels of -wheat, the same amount of corn, and t-wo-hundred bales of cotton. You subscribe 1,000 bushels of wheat bushels of corn, 100 bales of cotton, and specify the place of delivery. When made and delivered, yau or your own factor will sell it, and pay over the proceeds to the agent of the Government, and receive for the same a like amount in bdnds of the Confederate States, bearing 8 per cent In other words, you agree now io sell a specified part of your! crop for bonds. That is all.

What good will this do An immense good. It will sustain the credit of your Government, and convince our enemies that, by repeating the same operation every year, we can keep up a war for century, and our people flourish and prosper all the while. Let us show you how it will sustain oar credit Take a single article cotton. The South makes annually four millions of bales. Suppose each planter subscribes one-fourth of his crop and agree to sell it for bonds-that gives our Government one million of bales of cotton as a basis on which to demand credit They are worth fifty millions of dollars European capitalists will advance that amount upon them.

All planters will not and some cannot subscribe at all. To ensure enough, let each subscribe one-half and we will be sure to obtain a million of bales. Is there one of you who would not give one half of your crop to secure your liberty Suppose the rice planters, the sugar planters and the tobacco planters all, with equal patriotism, sub-! scribe one-half of their crops in the same way, do you not see that no stocks on earth can compare with ours as a desirable investment? Here, then, is our credit established. The grain raiser more immediately assists the Government for his produce we will buy directly to feed our armies. It may be suggested suppose the blockade is made effective and continues will not the scheme fall Not at all.

First, because the blockade can- not continue, as everysensible many knows. We have not space here to show it Second, the cotton, will be like the bank's coin in our vaults (the warehouses) nd will give credit to our notes though the vaults may be temporarily shut We have thus briefly developed the scheme. Need we add a word of exhortation to induce you promptly to respond? What you do must be done quickly. A hearty response from you will strike more terror into our enemies than the most brilliant victory won by our arms. The appeal is to each man.

He that reads and fails to act, gives aid and comfort to those who have predicted our bankruptcy. He that seeks out the opportunity to contribute even his mite, sustains and strengthens the arms of our sol diers. Getting Ready. The following important item from the Charleston Courier shows that President Davis has already taken the initiative. That's right Give the Vandals fair warning, and then let slip the dogs of war We learn from Virginia, on authority which we believe may be relied upon that the authorities of the Confederate States have made a formal demand upon President Lincoln to withdraw the federal troops from the soil of Virginia, and that they only await his answer to this demaryi to make the necessary demonstrations, if it is not done, to expeL them from it" Wilkes Valley Guards.

Editor I am well pleased with the action of our Court; in making provision for the support of the families of the poor men who have gone, or may go, to fight the battles of our country. But I must confess that I am mortified to find that they have made no provision for equipping and furnishing material for necessary use and subsistence, and making 'an outfit for those who have done so at their own expense, and for those that are now forming companies, or for those that may do so hereafter. I see that other counties have contributed liberally for that purpose, and sovne are doing more. They are putting a bonus in each soldier's pocket, as an encouragement to those whose patriotism leads them to the field of battle. I see also that the Legislature has made provision for the State to pay for equippage furnished soldiers, and have given the courts the power to levy a tax for that purpose.

I know not whether this matter was brought to the attention of the Court I think not If it had been, in my opinion, the contribution would have been made. I was on the line of Virginia when the Court met. If I had been' present I -would have brought it to the attention of the Court The county which I was in made provision to refund to those persons that had contributed out of their means for the purposes mentioned above, and I think it was nothing but right For some persons have been liberal, whilst others, most able, have given And by adopting this plan it makes it bear equally on all that every man pay according to his means, so far as our revenue system will allow. 'v 'I hope the Court will be called together soon, and take this matter under consideration. A MEMBER 0FS THE COURT.

Mr, Justices of Alamance have appropriated twenty-five thousand dollars to equip her volunteers, and to give each private a bounty of itwenty dollars, independent of the bounty given by the State.

So Alamance basin the and ready for the field, four hundred and tnLmen, and all equipped by the county showing to the world that whilst true to the old Union as long as there was Union or hope of Union, she is true to her section when her section is wronged.

There was no one there to receive them, to tell them where to go, to giy.e them food, or to tell them where to get it. They slept in the cars. On Saturday night, a thousand troops from South-'Carolinaand Georgia reached the Depot; no pro-" vision of any kind had been made for them, except by private" citizens whose means were limited by frequent; contributions of the same kind recently. Who is responsible for this unpardonable neglect? Did not the Quarter-Master-General know the troops would be at the Depot on Friday night? Did not the Commissary-General have notice to prepare food for the Southern troops on Saturday night Did the last Legislature make no provision for feeding troops passing through this State from other Confederate States There is a responsibility somewhere, on some one, which has not been met The parties in fault should be marked and remembered. N.

We shall join Col. Fisher's Regiment which will be favored with the very best officers. Come, fellow-citizens, brave and patriotic as I known you are, let me hear from you, for we assure you, the circumstances under which we enlisted are peculiarly favorable. We shall Commence drill in the course of a few days in order to be prepared to join the Regiment as soon as possible. HIRAM WEATHERSPOON.

The following piece of Poetry was written by a young Lady of Raleigh. The thoughts contained in it are beautiful, and Che whole piece is admirably conceived in that mingled spirit of patriotism and piety which is so becoming to the character of a delicate and refined woman. The last line 1 We wait to welcome thee home, but speed thee onward now," is worthy to be inscribed on the banners which the fair women of the South present to those brave soldier? who go forth for the defence of Southern homes and Southern Uhdr such an inscription, thus addressed by the fair ones of the South, what brave defender of Southern firesides will not go forth to conquer or to die To the Hawfield Boys of Alamance N. C. All hail to thee, thou noble band of brothers, brave and strong, Who answer to thy country's call to redress, her grievous wrongs; Her honor bids thee leave for her thy home and friends so dear, The days of peace have passed away, and conflict draweth near.

It is not fame that leads thee, no the vain and impious fame, To gain a wicked "world's applause, or an immortal name; Oh, no a truer, holier pulse beats in each freeman's heart, That leadeth him with right good will te take his country's part. A sister's love with each one rests, an earnest of "the right," A mother's' prayer will guard each head, by day and darksome night; A father's blessing goes with thee, to shield in every hour, As blessings only rest on those who seek from Heaven their power. A wife's all holy love is thine, in everv hour of toil, For her "sweet home," thy rights, fight on, and for thy na-. tive a il, As thy fathers said, in days of yore, "to victory or to death," So for thy glorious sunny land, thou wilt give thy latest breath. But trusting in map's feeble strength, thou may'st not come again, Without the help of our great God, your work will be in vain Trust thou in Him who answereth prayer, and to thy duty go, And thou wilt have the bright reward which heroes only know.

Then go brave band, thy country's heart beats with thee every hour, Her earnest prayers shall rise for thee, and thou shalt feel their power; Then back with honors, bravely won, around each noble brow. We wait to-welcome thee at home, "BUT SPEED THEE ONWARD NOW AN ACT, To Provide for TnE time when Volunteers shall RECEIVE PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North-Carolina and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That in all cases in which any company of volunteers may have been or may; hereafter be' enlisted and organized under the proclamation of his Excellency, the Governor, and; shall have been tendered to the Governor, the said volunteers shall receive, from and after they have been so tendered and accepted by the Governor, the same, pay and rations, both the officers and privates, as are received by volunteers after they have been mustered and received into the service of the State, 'and that hereafter the expenses incurred by them io. organizing, and in their transportation, previous to their being mustered and received into service shall be refunded, whether the same shall be incurred by the commanding officer of the company, counties, corporations, or individuals.

Here they were again attacked jby the whole force ot tne enemy regular order, and here they made; a determined and successful stand. After a considerable struggle, the enemy vhn rejmUed with a loss of 70 killed on the spot, and among the mortally wounded was Colonel Kelly, who seems to: been their chief man, and whose death has since vbeen announced in the Baltimore papers. naa only uu men engaged on our side in this combat i The enemy made three well organized and deter mined attacks oh our forces upon the hilL They were each time met with valor, completely repulsed, and finally compelled to retire as above stated. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We hear from a gentleman, who has iust arrived from Greenbrier county, that the Virginians were not routed at Philippi, as reported by the Black Republicans.

Our troops about 800 in number were attacked three times by three thousand: oi the enemy, and repulsed them each time. The loss on our side was six or eight dead. It is believed that sixty of the enemy were killed. We have to lament the loss of Quartermaster Sims, formerly a clerk at the Danville depot in this city. A yound man named Danger-field, from Bath county, had his leg shot off.

Capt. Richards, of the -Bath Cavalry, was killed. ATTACK AT PIG's POINT. A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch gives the following account of the bombardment at Pig's Point Norfolk, June 6, 1861. Yesterday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the fourth battle was fought in this vicinity.

From a gentleman just from the scene of conflict, I am indebted for the following particulars The steamer Harriet Lane approached in the neigh, borhood of Pig's Point her mission being to make some soundiugs off that place, but, not understanding the location of the battery at that fired a number of guns before any response was made. Fifty-seven shots were fired from the steamer, one striking the mouth of one of our cannon, breaking off a small piece. I Another struck the top of one of our tents, throwing it down, and in its course, came in contact with an old barn in the neighborhood, doing no serious damage. Twenty-seven guns were fired from our battery, seven well-directed shots supposed to have taken effect in the side of the steamer, which caus- ea ner rapia retreat. That the result of our snob were as my informant does not question.

Her rapid retreat from the action certainly justifies the belief. The behavior of our men on this, as well as on all occasions, was creditable in the main. Williamsburg, June 4, 1861. A letter received in Petersburg yesterday under the above date from a most reliable source, says Gen. Lee arrived here to-day.

The enemy is very near us at Hampton Half Way House, and in Warwick at Jones It is distressing to see the people fleeing from their homes. The Vandals have committed several murders. Sidney Smith was on yesterday endeavoring to remove his father and brothers from a place in York county, called Cow Bay, but the approach of the enemy was so rapid that he narrowly escaped with his life. We have a large army at Yorktown, and the place is well fortified. There is also a good size army here.

The lower counties were too long neglected. The Yankee villains have seized all the negroes they could and turned their cattle into wheat fields to fatten. I think our army1 will make an offensive demonstration this week. King's Hill wharf has been burnt by the Confederates. A lady and four children walked from Warwick to this place, but slept in the woods' one entire night The distress in every direction is awful, but it is hoped that our troops will drive the vandals off STATE NEWS.

Bear Express Amid rain and mud I have seat ed myself to pen you a few items, and will do so if am not prevented by the animated conversation now going on around me. One at ray right says, I wish some one would give Gov. Ellis fits. Another asks why 7" and the reply is, he promised us before we left Raleigh that we should not be sent to the seaboard, especially Norfolk" on account of the unhealthiness of the location for men raised in the mouutains. There are many other troops equally acceptable who would be delighted to be quartered here with the prospect of spending the summer.

Yet we from the hills are sent here. We are camped in a poooson and a minister now in our camp says the water is three inches deep on a level around our camps. The men are passing with turns of pine tops well saturated in upon which they will sleep to-night with the hope of being found, in the morning. They will rest upon such ararats in case of another deluge to-night I. The best water we have had since we have been here is the rain water now dipped up out of the mud holes around us.

In this respect we are fortunate. Half of our tents are without notwithstanding our Quartermaster has used every effort to provide them his requisitions have, with few exceptions, been disregarded. Our provisions (not many) are now lying in the woods exposed to the rain. Our indomitable Commissary having repeatedly made requisitions for a picket house in which to store them. His requisitions have met the same fate of nearly every other, from cook to Colonel.

Indeed we have suffered many hardships since we have been here yet our men nave submitted with becoming resignation and now they only ask that their friends at home may know their real situation to them we appeal tor rehet. The Surgeon has informed me that there were this morning 140 men under medical treatment Yet, when the alarm was beat at 10 o'clock, and we hoped to have an opportunity to return home, after having wiped out the enemy whom we expected were marching upon us, only four! men were left in the hospital. We now ask our friends at home if such men are not entitled to better treatment? The correspondent "Brockv" of the Petersburg Express, gives the following particulars about the 3d Regiment: I Suffolk, 7, 1861. Dear Express I have scarcely anything new to communicate to-day. All is quiet about this place.

The weather has been rainy and damp, and there are several new cases of sickness in the camp of the North Carolina Volunteers no case, however, of a serious character. The Sun is out this morning upon the sharpers who have been speculating on the soldiers here, and I have just learned that Col. Pender has issued an order forbidding any of them to enter the camp of the North Carolina Volunteers. The order is no doubt a good one. C.

N. State Legislature. We believe, the opinion is quite general in the State, that the meeting of the Legislature again this year, is considered entirely useless, and a waste of public money. The Charlotte Bulletin endorses the following from the Iredell Express We hope that Gov.

ElHs will issue his proclamation ordering that the Legislature will not convene any more this year. There is nothing in the exigency of the affairs of the country which the Convention, now in session, cannot legislate upon as efficiently as it would be done bj the Legislature. The saving to the State will- be about $500 per day. If the members desire to serve the State let them join the army of the defenders." 1 1 1 Caswell. Dr.

The Latef The last mails brought but little additional intelligence -of any kind. The contestant armies are drawing nearer at several points we may expect to hear of sharp work in few days. Gen. Beauregard had issued a proclamation urging the citizens of the Counties adjacent' to him, to rally to their standard, and afford -'hinx iltthe information possible as to the movements of the enemy. The tone of many Of the Northern papers is becoming ciore decided against the; war.

Mr. Smith's Ordinance We publish iit another; column the crdinar.ee of Mr. Smith, of Halifax, passed by the Convention on Friday last It proposes, as will hp seen, the most cheap and ready means of affording assistance to the seaboard defences in an emergency', which can be made. We regret, that any oiie should! have felt called upon to oppose the bill jyet strange to say, its op-posers fought it bravely to the bitter end; bui a very decided majority of, the Convention marched boldly forward and passed it The ordinance commends itself to the approval of all first, because the exposure of the Eastern counties to invasion from enemy is imminent We never expect Lincoln to fight bis way through Virginia to the North-Carolftf line. TVe believe- that every man in North-Carolina that' can be spared, will rush to the defence of Virginia, and contest every inch of ground with the enetny.

Hence, the only point.of easy access, to the eiemy, without a sufficient force to repel jpim a.t the outset is the seaboard. Secondly, as the people of the East desired to do so, the most natural, cheap and safe way of securing its protection was to taise the troops first required for that- purpose in the Eastern counties. Their own homes and firesides were most ex posed, and they were the most natural and proper defenders of them. If the bill had proposed to raise the troops from the mountains or. promiscuously from the State, we should have opposed it, for the reason, that none but men raised in our Eastern counties could hope to escape bilious fever and almost certain death, in the fall, it quartered in any of thejeounties contig uous to the seaboard.

Immediately on the seaboard, the few required to be stationed there, would till LIU M. "vwt a svf hAflith hut aft nor lion oi roe troops to be raised for the defence of the coast, must be held in reserve for emergencies, and quartered in those counties most accessible to the points of attack, common sense and common hujmahity demanded that the troops should be raised in the Eastern counties.

Since the anival'of the President of the Confederate States in Richmond, a new spring has been given to the military movements of that jState and of the South. We hear it stated 'that in a few days there will be in Virginia, 50,000 troops from the South alone, besides the troops from Virginia; North-Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. They are pouring into Virginia by every accessible medium, and we hope to hear soon that they are pouring hot shot into the Vandal troops of Lincoln, whose infamous conduct in Alexandria and Hampton, and vicinity, ex- i cite the indignation and resentment of every true Southron.

8oothCarolinra Troops. We learn there' are now six regiments of South-Carolina troops in Virginia making about 6,000 i men, and others are to follow. They are ordered to Manassas Gap, under Geni' Beauregard and, having been longer in service and better drilled, will form the advance forcein the first attack. A fine regiment rom Yorkville District, S. under the command of Col.

Jenkins, late principal of Yorkville Military Institute, arrived here onj Saturday. It numbers about 1,100, thoroughly drilled and equipped, and embraces a number of intelligent gentlemen and substantial citizens. The ladies of the city made provision for supplying the regiment with food and refreshments, Saturday and Sunday morning, and bid them God speed, on their way to meet the invader. Three trains were necessary to con- vey them to Weldon on Sunday morning. li I ii t.
