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 calls
out all nnrgiatrates under fifty yeans of age,
all militia officers and all those citizens w ho
having procured substitutes under tin
acription ? ill have to 'face tht; music" un.
der 11n* uulitis law. It is *' <> said ilia*, fit
izens liable to conscription from forty to
fort) five, will l?e called out, until their nervier*
arc demanded by (lie Confederate nu

The Washington correspondent ot the

already died and others are sick. Added to
this, the city council of Vincenne*, fndiuun,
has adopted the following preamble sud
resolutions unanimously :

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

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

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

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.
Mr t'nmphcll said lis would discuss the
subject relevantly, lie said thai lie ?tId not
underrate the gravity ol the occasion, hut

he divided into two parts?first, us lo the
rights vested in the Convention ; second as
to the nets of that t '(invention.
First, then, ns to its powers. Admi'ting
ihast the Convention l.sd ihc |ower to destroy
the Constitution, \?t that course
would involve '.hem iu iiiainfesl nh-urdity.
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.
Mr C. then explained Ihe authority of the
Convention The Constitution of I7i'0 declare*
that the Conilttuhon shall nrier !>e

There haa been a settled eonvie'loii in the
