Doc. 108.-Governor Vance's message. To the Honorable, the General Assembly of North-Carolina : With the flight of time great events have occurred and are now crowding upon us. Since your adjournment in December, the invaders of our State have concentrated a large force upon our coast, and are again threatening our remaining seaports and lines of communication. Every preparation possible has been made to resist them, and it is hoped not without success. Still, much remains to be donethese relates to the proposition of guaranteeing to each State of its proportion of the confederate war debt, and to these I invite your early and deliberate attention. I am also pleased to be able to inform you that the correspondence conducted by me with the War Department at your request, in relation to the burning of cotton in Eastern North-Carolina, was entirely satisfactory, though for prudential reasons I thought it improper to make it public. Raleigh, N. C. January 21. Z. B. Vance.
Salisbury, N. C. (North Carolina, United States) (search for this): chapter 117
e subject of arresting citizens on charges of disloyalty I beg leave again to allude to. Many have been recently taken up by the confederate officers, and with a spirit of courtesy and respect for State authority, turned over to me for investigation. I am at a loss how to dispose of them. I cannot examine them myself, and of course regard it inconsistent with my duty to set them at liberty without an examination, and I am yet more unwilling to see them placed in the confederate prison at Salisbury, where the tracks of the accused all lead in one direction, and the light of old English liberty is never seen. I therefore recommend the establishing of a commission for the investigation of charges against all such persons, with power to commit for trial before the proper tribunal if sufficient cause appears, etc. In this connection, I take great pleasure in transmitting a letter from Hon. Jas. A. Seddon, Secretary of War, in relation to the case of R. J. Graves, and in response to t

Not wishing to exercise any doubtful authority when your presence and approbation may so easily make it certain, I most respectfully recommend that I be authorized immediately to call out such portion of the militia as may be deemed sufficient to meet the present emergency. I have the honor herewith to transmit copies of resolutions on various subjects, of the Legislatures of the States of South-Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, forwarded to me by their respective Executives, with a request that they be laid before you. The most important of these relates to the proposition of guaranteeing to each State of its proportion of the confederate war debt, and to these I invite your early and deliberate attention.

Doc. 108.-Governor Vance's message. To the Honorable, the General Assembly of North-Carolina : With the flight of time great events have occurred and are now crowding upon us. Since your adjournment in December, the invaders of our State have concentrated a large force upon our coast, and are again threatening our remaining seaports and lines of communication. Every preparation possible has been made to resist them, and it is hoped not without success. Still, much remains to be done to strengthen our army and add to its efficiency. I beg leave respectfully to offer a few suggestions to you on this subject. The most serious evils with which our generals have to contend are the inefficient execution of the conscript law and the alarming increase of desertion in the army. A long absence from home, and the severe hardships of our rapid and wonderful campaigns, naturally tend to produce these effects during a protracted war. To arrest these delinquents and return them to

Graves, and in response to the demand for his delivery to the authority of this State, made in obedience to a joint resolution of your two Houses. Admirable in spirit, ample in explanation of the circumstances under which the arrest was made, and in expressions of regard for the rights and sovereignty of the State, I am sure that, accompanying as it did the prompt surrender of the accused, it cannot fail to give you the satisfaction I experienced on its perusal.
