The 6th Regiment, of Reserves have arrived at Camp Hampton, which is situated on the Rail Road, four miles below 1 Columbia, a very pretty situation. ^The 8th Regiment, Col- Witherspooo, occupies the other side of the road, while the 7th, Col. Wilson, is on the Fair Grounds, near the city General health prevails, but w^caonot say as umch for general satisfaction.? The 6th are almost unanimous in opposition tq appointed officers, and even elected their own. but owing to * protest from one of tbe iocumbc-Dts, affairs remain id statu ouo, except that tie "rebellion" is increasing in strength, and has been fully sustained by the Legislature. Id the House, Captain Lowry, of York has nobly vindicated the right of election, and though at first some little discussiuu took place, there seeuis to have coine around a generous disposition to 1 ? > i do whaf ls right. In the House, on Friday, ' 3Ir.sLowry U'lrodaced a resolution "that the Legislature be requested uTissuean or- , der for the election of Field Officers in all t of the Regiments of the First Reserves," 1 which passed in the affirmative, 77 to 35 !

Field Officers to , the First Reserves, and ha6 since giv- ? en notice of a bill to that effect The gen- * ' era! impression is that the entire Regiments will be sent home: if hot, the elec- . V- > ^ . * lion will be given them. In fact this morning i learo that Gen Beauregard has t telegrahhed to Col. Preston, that he does not desire "militia," but the Conscripts 1 between 18 and 40, as required by Presi- ] dent Davis.

The message opens with a tributary ref ence to the brave heroes and martyrs who have fulitfc in the war. The condition of the country for defence is hpttpr than it was twelve^ months aero.' Tbe evils of the Federal Constitution as co the Executive electioo are found out.? The President of a Confederacy should be sleeted by the States. All Conscription Acts calling. ant eitigens directly, and not through the. States, ire deemed unconstitutional or objeotionibie, but the question is waived under the present exigencies. A Dew military system for police and loyal defence is reoomuieoded to be composed >f all youths between 16 and 18, and men from 45 to 60. Stringent measures are recommended a^aiost Lincoln's proclamation. .. .

It is recommended that the State Constiititution be amended so as to render the 3-overnor re eligible, for reasons which may )e hereafter considered. It is also recommended that the appoiotnents of Sheriff, Ordioary and Tax Colector, be given to tbe Governor. It is recommended tbat hereafter no oatiralization beallowed for votes in this State, >ut tbe franchise be limited to native born litisens of a Confederate State. The Governor regrets uud deplores, with ill good citizeos the snspeDsion of the Colege and other institutions of education.

A merited tribute is paid to ihe devotion, Sorts and sacrifices of the women. The remainder of the Message, which is ery long is devoted to the Executive Council, and a plea for its dissolution. Charleston Courier. [ rouble in Western North Carolina.

The party, we are informed, epresented themselves as from East Ten?essee, and said they had a reserve of three lundred armed men to back up their deuand.

Since that article was written a courier has reached this place in quest of powder, who states that an army of several hundred men From EastTeonessee is regularly fortified at the line between Haywood county and Tennessee. Some reports put the number it 1100, but we suppose it hardly so large. The militia of Haywood to the number of 250, with-60 Cherokee Indians, were holding theui in cheek. Ruuoers had been sent to GeD. Kirby Smith, iufortning him of the couditioo of affairs, and asking for assistance. We await further information with aDxity The locality is about 45 miles west of this place, 'and bordering upon the most disloyaljjirtion of East Tennessee, and the force gathered there is composed probably of disaffected men who have tied from their homes to avoid the conscript law.

The Herald says the Union army of Virginia, is stronger and better prepared now for thn work of a triumphant campaign than ever heretofore, or likely to be hereafter. The Herald's plan for the capture of Richmond is as follows: let Washington be rendered perfeotly safe, without requiring Burnside to keep ? sharp eye in that.direction, while advancing upon Richmond; let him be assisted with the co operation of the land and naval force by the James aDd York Rivers, and his advance upon the rebel oapitsl will be the death blow to the rebellion, as the army of Lee, it not captured or destroeyd at j Richmond, will be enveloped, as the forces I are sufficient to capture or scatter to the ! four wiudH ??H?

The following suggestions taken from the 4pgost& Ch.roh.idt and Sentinel are applicable at this time in this State, and we adopt them for the consideration of oar people: We would urge upon the citizens throughoat the country the-'importance of orgaui-. zing and maintaining patrols. Oaripgifcrot laws, as they are at pcesent, are stringent enough and need no other change except to adopt them to presentcircumstances. So many of the militia have volunteered or been taken by,.the conscription that some new regulations,may possibly be necessary, but men enough are left between tho ages of sixteen aud sixty, to which ages the patrol laws extends, to perform the; requisite police duty. The patrol laws pave been executed in general with mach laxity and irregularity, because the people have felt secure in the ordinary condition, of the country, .With oo inducement to mischief presented by outsiders, the population they are intended to keep in order, ure docile and submissive,' bat the circumstances are all changed.

Burnside a short time previous to the battle passed through the oity iu..command of die. or a Rhode Island brigade. On having some encomiums bestowed onit, be publicly remarked, he "commanded a brigadewinch could with ease march from Washington "to the Golf." Whenhe left Washington "he wore a wreath"'of flowers around one of his arms, and carried an immense bphque't in bis hand.; Such was General Bafnside ou starting on-bis first military expedition.
