A number of private bills wore intro-
ducod in both Houso*. The only one
that passed either branch was a bill in
troduced by Mr. Lewis, to authorize ex
ecutors, administrators, guardians and
trustees in HusboII county t<» advertise in
somonewspaper imhUnhod In Columbus,
Ga.. which pushed tho Hennte. The Don
ato also passed the Houses bill to require
persons to pay taxes in the county whore
tho property is located. The Houso had
under consideration tho Militia bill, and
tho Sonata a bill to prevent Justices of
tho Ponce and Judges of Probate from
issuing writs of habeas corpus in certain
cases, at tho time of their adjournment.
A Cheering Account.
Wo have had a conversation with tho
lion. John Goode, Jr., who i« just from
tho army of Gen. I. Ho informs us
that a spirit of devotion f<» the cause and
an enthusiasm exists with tho troops,
which nt no time has ever been exceeded.
At tho houdquartors of some of tho di
vision commanders, ho had an opportu
nity for observation which loaves no
doubt of tlm existence of thin fooling in
the army. Ho was invited to address tho
soldiers, which request he complied with,
a id in every allusion made to tho ability
of the army t.o beat back tho invader,
ami to tho ultimate gueeoss of tho cause,
and to lh« principles for which wo aro
< onion.ling, loud and enthusiastic cheers
vent 'ho *ky. Tho strength of the army
i* 'holy increasing—numbers arrive al-
im orv hour- and that confidence in
it*o|f i- f.-lt by the army which will
'make it w vincihlo.
Tho North Carolina troops are staunch
to the core. They look with contempt
upon the efforts made by tho traitors at
Iioiuh to disparage tho cause, but a cer
tain feeling of mortification is mixed up
with it, that they who have illustrated
the tone and temper of tho great masses
of tho people of these Slates upon many
a battle field, should have oven a breath
of the pollution, engendered by traitors
at home, hlown towards tho pure field of
tie 0‘outche m tin v hold aloft. Tho next-
field of battle will hu made gory by tho
