We are from our North Carolina papers that the Cciriuiiltee on Military Affairs hare prepared their report relative to raising troops for State defence. The ine-mnre promises to he an effective one.

It is supposed llml tbia levy will 1st in jf several thousand effective uien in'o the field. The press of Norlli Carolina, support the bill, n? n military necessity. The Washington correspondent ot the Herald telegraphs ihst Lincoln will submit hia emancipation proclamation to Congress for reconsideration and modification. Oxer three thousand sick soldiers lis e arrived in Washington during the last few diys from U irnside's army. The Chicago Times says thsl General McClvrnnmi'a grant Mississippi army will be divided into three corpt farmer.

The Vm centies (lud ) Sun learns that their condition i? most pitiable, and that they aro huddled together in a dilapidated building in the oulakirta of town. One of them tins already died and others are sick. Added to this, the city council of Vincenne*, fndiuun, has adopted the following preamble sud resolutions unanimously : Wheress, a number of negroes were brought into this county on the 1st instant, on the Ohio and Miasiaaippi railroad, from the vicinity of Noblo Illinois, from which point they were forwarded, a* wo learn, by a man named llughea, who had procured them at Cairo to work on his farut ; and j The Fate of the Executive Council. The Carolinian of Thursday Inst says : "On Monday, the resolutions of Mr. Garlington, of Newberry, touching the Kxccn live Council and the bill introduced by Mr. Mo?es, of Sumter, from the Joint Committee to abolish tho Council Mtabliklied by the (Convention, came up for consideration in tlit Senate, nnd were passed by n very . decided majority?the bill if we do not mistake, not having a vote against it The Senate has well responded to the demands of the people, and we have no doubt that ;the action of the House will be in the 1 satire direction." We copy from the same paper the fol lowing report of the proceedings of the house, on Wednesday Inst, upon the Hill to abolish the Executive Council: "On motion of Mr. Mullins, the api-etal order for I p hi , wes then taken np--a hi I from the Senate, to abolish Hie Executive Council. Mr. Durvea lioDed that the l>!ll :.t | iinuiediat-lv pass, and insisted on the vole | being mow taken. Mr. Wlialey moved thai it be made n part of tlie special order for to day. Mr. Duryea culled for tlie ayes and noes. The Speaker ruled that all these piper* belonged to the same special order, and (hut the question wii", "shall this hill he ac-fit to the I loose ?'' Mr Yeadon moved to di-churgc toe ape c.ul order and make it tin special order, with kindred matters, for the - nine hour. The special order ?ie then taken up. Mr liotson withdrew nis amendment of yesterday, and offered the following: Knotted, That it he referred to the Committee on Judiciary to inquire ami :? pert at the next session of the (ieliernl As-clllhlv wtiettier or not it is expedient to umend the lust section eleventh article of the t onslislitutioli ; and if so, in w hut particular ; and ttiat tney have leave to report by hid or Otherwise.

I laving finished their declared >?ork, they might then have proceeded to amend the Constitution. Bo'. what did they do?? From December to April, they proceeded to legislate most untiecsasuiily. They proinulgaled the new Constitution in April, nmi the very next day, giant that they had r right lo begin to amend it, hut thai they did not do. Dot with great temerity tlivy j proceeded to legislate Kveii the enact int-iil of the Ordinance instituting this Cot veiition wua nothing more than an act of hold legi-ilMion No matter who brenka the law, it is a matter of violation of the law . liut this Convention had delegated I the power of legislation lo this body, mid directly in the face of that article ol the t.^institution. Thev proceeded to leg'slste. Then this mere net of legislation was oppo-ed to Hie Couatilulion. Thus we have ?tirat. an assumption on the p. r< of the Contention of undue authority; an J second, a aimilar exercise of undue authority on Ihe |>urI of the Council.
