FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
New York. Feb. 27.—A correspondence passed
between Generals Peek and Pickett, m relation to
the death .of Colonel Shaw, and the. subsequent
execution by the rebels of a negro soldier for his
alleged murderer. General Peek says, «‘The Go
vernment of the United States has wisely seen fit
to enlist many thousand colored soldiers to assist
in putting down the rebellion, and has placed them
on the same footing, in all respects, as her white
troops.” He encloses a copy of the President’s
order on the subject, that for every soldier of the
United States killed m violation of the laws of
war, a rebel -shall be executed, etc., and adds,
“Believing that this atrocity has heen perpetrated
Without your knowledge, and that you will take
prompt steps to disavow this violation of the
usages of war,and to bring the offenders to justice'
I shall refrain from executing a rebel soldier until
I learn your action in the premises. ’ ’
General Pickett replies under date of Peteribnrg,
Ya., Feb. 16th, that had he caught any negro who
had killed - either officer, soldier or citizen of the
Confederate States, he would have caused him to
he immediately executed, and states that he has in
big possession four hundred and fifty officers and
men of the United States army, and for every man
General Peck executes he will hang ten of them.

IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.
Hew York, Feb. 27 The Paris correspondent
of the rimes says that since the arrival of M. Mer

"p yygVTTTTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSIOI
Washington-, February 27.
House. To-day iB specially set apart for speech
m Mr. ne Harding (Ky.) argued against the Presi
dent’s plan of reconstruction, characterizing the
scheme as mapped outhy the master builder with
a pencil dipped in blood. He assumed that the
secession ordinances were void, and on the
termination of the rebellion the revolting States
have a right to return with all their privileges
under the Constitution. . . . K-i
Mr Deming (Conn.) maintained that though the
President’s plan is not bey ond cavil, it is as com
plete and comprehensive as the intricacies of
subject will permit, and possesses the rare merit
ofthe justice of the Government to the insurgent
States and to tlie slave.

Caiko, Feb ‘2O —From the Memphis BulUtin I
learn that the adjourned meeting of the convention
of the loyal people of West Tennessee, which met

siastic affair. An eloquent address was delivered
t>v Dr. Butler, of Arkansas, and tlie following
resolution (in substance) was unanimously
aS Firft—h. disavowal of fnrther partlcipation in
and resposibility for the rebellion, and providing
that nrooer measures be immediately adopted for
reorganizing the State Government on a basis of
ab&oiute loyalty to tbe Union and the Constitu-
All acts passed l>y the Legislature de
noting the relation of the State of Tennessee to the
United States are declared without authority, null
resolution declares for the resump
tion of federal relations in the Union with such
cbaneesimbe State Constitution as will make re
bellion and secession impossible in the future.
Fvurti— The importance is recognized of making
the State Constitution republican in fact as ‘well as
in name, guaranteeing the national and inherent
lights of ail persons in the State, and providing
that slavery shall henceforth cease to exist and be
forever prohibited by denying the elective fran
chise to allpeTsons who have been engaged in the
rebellion and who fail satisfactorily to establish
their fidelity to the National Government and its
laws.
F*f th —That immediate nation he taken to reor
ganize the State under the Constitution and laws
of tteJUnited States, and to that end they invite all
loyal citizens who will take the oath of allegiance
to the United States, prescribed, by Governor
Johnson.
Seventh— The resolution requests Governor John
son, to issue a proclamation for the election ofdele
gates to a convention to amend the State Constitu
tion so as conform to the fact of the emancipation
ftirpiidy accomplished hv the rebellion and the war.
Eighth —The Union State Executive Committee
is requested to lay these resolution before Go
vernor Johnson, and to, confer with him as to the
accomplishment of the facts therein Bet forth.
Ninth President Lincoln’s administrative acts
in suppressing the rebellion are endorsed.
The sixth resolution pledging their influence to
secure, by State legislation, the reimbursement of
losses resulting from emancipation to cltizens_ of
undoubted loyalty n-iw co-operatiDg in reclaiming
the State from slavery, met with an animated dis
cussion, and it was, with a substitute, referred
back to the Committee.
Mr. Morgan, the President, congratulated the
Convention on the unanimity of sentiment dis
played, and boped that the emancipation platform
adopted would continue to gather strength and
adherents till the last vestige of slavery should be
abolished from the State.
The Convention.adjourned to meet thefollowing
evening in a larger building, when the Hon. Horace
Maynard will deliver an address.

Uany do hot insure from fearof becoming nnable
to meet their premiums, and thereby lose all they
ha-repaid. This need not happen in this Com
pany,as the cash value of the policy will be given
by the Company, after the second year’s premium
has been paid; or the dividend may he taken in re.
dnetion of premium, instead of adding to the snm
insured, so that in a few years, THERE WOULD
BE LITTLE OR NOTHING TO FAY.
A gentleman in this city, insured in-IfHO, under
Policy Ho. 2,068, for 810,000. Being unable to pay
the premium due last month, he has so applied
his dividends that he has nothing more to pay on
his policy of ten thousand dollars, hut will an
nually receive from the Company 881 39 in cash,
and his policy of ten thousand dollars will still
participate in future dividends daring the remain

It cleanses and renovates tie Wood, Instills the
vigor of Health into tne system, and purges out tbs
humors ■which make disease. It stimulates tha
healthy functions of the body and expels the dis
orders that grow and rankle in the blood. Such a
remedy, that could be relied on, has long been
sought for. and now, for the first time, the public
have one on which they can depend. Our space
here does not admit certificates to show its effect,
bnt the trial of a single bottle will shew to the sick
that it has virtues surpassing anything they hav»
over taken. _
Two tablespoonsfnl of the Extract of Sarsaparil
