MESSAGE-STATE DKBT.- Governor Hol?
den's message, sent in to the North Car?
olina Legislature sovend days ago, coun?
tenances rather than advocates .partial
repudiation. For this or some other
reasons iso mo other, we suspect,) thc
Honse or Representatives refused to
have it printed. We give some extracts
from the message:
The present debt of the State is stated
as follows:
Old or ante-war bonds, $8,378,200;
bonds issued to railroad companies
during the war, under acts passed prior
to May 20th, 1861, $913.000; bonds is?
sued to Chatham Railroad Company,
under ordinance of convention, 1861,
$215,000: bonds issued since the close of
the war, n?t special tax, $8,986,845; spe?
cial tax bonds, $11,107,000. Total,
$29,900,045. As will be seen, there are
included in tho above amount coupon
bonds amounting to $1,128,000, issued
on account ?? certain railroad compa?
nies in 1861, ?862 and 1863,'th o greater
Sermon Of Woh W expended for work
ono on tho. roads. These b.ondsaro not
marketabje, having been issued during
tho'war,..but it in 'contended that they
were not issued in aid of the rebellion,
and ought to be recognized. It is be?
lieved that the larger portion of these are
in possession of citizens of the State.
Under act of the General Assembly
"to restore the oredit of the State and
to facilitate the construction of our un?
finished railroads," bonds to the amount
of $4,313,000 were returned to the trea?
sury, including $1,650,000 of the issue
of $2,000,000 to the Chatham Railroad
Company, pronounced unconstitutional
by a decision of the Snpremo Court.
This issuo to the Chatham Railroad Com?
pany was omitted by the State treasurer
in the statement of the debt accompany?
ing his report for 1869, by reason of thc
decision of the Supreme Court referred
to. The debt ie, therefore, actually re?
duced $2,693,000. The entire debt is,
therefore, about $30,000,000, to pay the
interest on whiob at six per cent., to?
gether with the amount necessary to
conduot tho State Goverumeut, will re?
quire a tax of $2,500,000. Will thc peo?
ple of the Stato submit to an annual
paymeut of this amount of tux? To bo
candid with yon, gentlemen, I do not
beliove they will. I havo not changed
my opiuion on this subject. I still be?
lieve it would be wise, aud sound econo?
my in the end, to pay tho interest on
the debt, aud every dollar of it when
due, yet I need not tell you, who are
fresh from the people, that this is not to
be expected or hoped for. The people
reason thus ou this subject. They say
they lost their slaves and a large a mon nt
of property by the rebellion; that this
rebellion was not anticipated when a
part of this debt waa contracted, and
that no provision could bo made against
it; that they lost their bank stock, nearly
all the value of (heir bauk notes, all
their State Treasury notes and Confed?
erate bonds and notes, and nearly all
their old debts; that tho bouds_i?sued
previously to the rebellion were based
to a large extent on slave property; that
the war left thom impoverished, theil
lands neglected and reduced in value,
the whole system of labor chuuged; thal
many of the special tax bonds have been
hypothecated for small sums aud lost
that their internal improvements pro?
jected since the rebellion are languish
ing, and havo for the most part failed,
on account of the loss of Stato credit, nc
matter from what canso; and that, upon
the whole, they will pay a part of th?
old State debt, and they will pay on tbi
new or special tax debt such umounti
as were realized from the sale of hood*
from first bands.
Is there a member of your body wbc
will say that this is not the feeling ol
the people? Gentlemen, this is nut inj
judgment. I would pay it all in gool
faith if every other mun in the Slat?
should say nay; yet I am with yourselves
a servant of tho people, and it ia mj
duty to obey their commands. Th?
demoralization and loss occasioned bj
the rebellion is such that many of on
people canuot or will not pay their owi
individual debts. Can you expect thosi
who cannot or who will not do this t<
submit to be taxed heavily to pav th
State debt?
There must be a compromise. Th
Stato debt laust be consolidate.1 au?
interest paid accordingly, and tho -none
it is done the .better.

morning they inarched for their desti?
nation. Tho number was said td be
about 800. It WHS said that another
body took another road, that a park of
artillery was also cn route for the same
place, that a regiment was also moving
on Spartaaburg aud Union, and that
auother regiment was to bo scattered
promiscuously. Is this nil Joe's doiugs?
What does it mean? What does Joseph

LATER -Men who are acquainted with
aoands affirm that they hoard cannon
firing on Sunday night last.
Srinn LATER.-Joseph's army are re?
tiring upon Newberry, having accom?
plished the job which he lind on foot for
Laurens. They aro within four milos
of tho town. The General arrived on
Monday night at 8 o'clock, considerably
jaded from tho effects of the three days'
campaign. Tho buttle was fought ut

and son, Col. Mosely, Henry Saber, J.
Y. H. Williams, Spencer Harris, Geo.
Copeland and sou, and Ford Todd-were
precipitately sent to Columbia, Tuesday
morning, before day, in consequence of a
report that 1,200 cavalry were comlug
to their rosoue. (Of c<> .rac no sud)
thing was contemplated, and the origi?
nator of this vilo report' ought to bc
whipped, it only for the inconvenience
and pain inflicted on tho prisoners, in
this unnecessary night movement )
VERY LATEST.-Thu army, with ord?

paign, recorded ia the annuls ot war.
THE COMING BONNET.-Tho New York
Sun is authorized to anuouuee, by u
leading fashion designer of that city,
who furnishes Loudon with fashion
plates for a prominent mid authoritative
fashion magazine, that the regular bon?
net is to bo enlarged ns tho season ad?
vances. A double pointed fall of silk
velvet, or whatever material composes
the bonnet, falls over tho heavy chate?
laine braids of hair. The gypsy form in
front, somewhat modified, is retained.
Pretty little head coverings are also to
bo worn, half hat, half bonnet, tho brim
clinging dose to tho head, the crown
low and flat, and three feathers of differ?
ent shades of thc same color falling from
the back over the front and sides. This
exquisite novelty was brought ont by
Madame Ferraro, of Paris, just before
tho siege. It is called tho Vespitro, aud
was so popular with tho fair Parisians,
it was said, that when Eugenio was de?
throned, Vespitro took ber place. But
who tho Vespitro was, who gave tho
name to the hat, is unknown. The little
wonder, duplicated in two shades of
beetle green silk, and trimmed with three
shades of plumes, makes a stunning lit?

and with a low, Hat crown.

and scalding to death Mr. Geo. Shokes,
who had beou ?ont up to the works in
the morning. Captain Horace Pratt and
Mr. James M. Williams, who wcro stand?

water in tho boilers, which had been
working smoothly for au hour and a half

The following address was on a pack?
age received at the Adams Express office
in Oweusboro, recently:
This package contains a "duck of a bon?
net;"
Expressman, I pray you place nothing
upon it;
'Tis made of a ribbon, a straw aud a
feather
The whole with a postage stamp fastened
together.
UK owner, a damsel, is youthful and fair.
But, like Flora McFlimsey, "has nothing
to wear."
Beware, then, expressman, I warn you
take heed,
And forward this bonnet with care abd
with speed.
