Hinks to Treasurer Battle. We publish below a copy of a letter ad dressed by Gen. E. W. Hinks to MrTreas urer Buttle, in relation to the Convention tax. It is as clear as any thing can be that Gen. Hinks has taken a correct view of this mat ter. The list takers had no authority to make a separate valuation t personal pro perty in order to impose the Convention tax, but their duty was to add the necessary per cent, to the valuation already made. If Mr. Treasurer Battle lias given contrary instruc tions with the view to effect partizan ends, and sustain the Rebel power in this State, of which he is one of the recognized exponents, he deserves instantly to be re moved from office. We invite attention to the lucid and sen sible letter of Gen. Hinks, which we give below : Headquarter Post of Goi.DSBor.ouon, Goldsboko', N. C, May 1st, 18C8. Hon. Kemp P. Battle, Public Treasurer of North-Carolina, Baleigh. JV. C. Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, dated the 28th inst.. stating that you have learned that certain list takers and others have been reported to these Head-quarters " as in bad faith in carrying out the ordinance of the , Convention, levying taxes for the expenses of the same ; " and suggesting " in behalf of the list takers, who have interpreted this ordinance to mean all personal property, that such a construction is at least the usual meaning of the words used ; " and further expressing your conviction that "the law admits of no exceptions or exemptions," eic. In replv, you are informed that numerous complaints and representations have been made to these Head quarters against list takers, who, it is alleged, with a purpose to improperly influence the action of voters in the late election, under the pretence of ra ting personal property to assess the tax of the Convention thereon, have been imperti nently scrupulous in listing, among the poor er classes, articles of the most insignificant value, which are exempted from taxation by the laws of the Statu. No action has yet been taken in these cases, but in examining the subject, I am unable to reach the con clusions that have suggested themselves to jour mind, and regret the necessity of dis senting from your construction of the ordi nance referred to, the more because of the partisan consideration involved in the com plaints presented. ' The ordinance of the Convention provides that " a tax of one-twentieth of one percent, shall be levied on the land in North-Carolina, according to its valuation in the year 1SG0, subject to such changes therein as have since been made by law, and on the personal property within said State according to Vie valuation thereof to be maile in the year 18C8. This tax shall be collected, paid and accoun ted for at the Treasury of the State at the limes when and in the same manner as other State taxes arc required to be." It will be observed that the manner in w,hich the tax is to be assessed is not pre scribed in the Ordinance, and General Or ders No. 20, Current Series, 2d Military Dis trict, supplying the omission, directs that " the assessors of taxes in the State of North Carolina shall add to the assessments already made or ubout to be made for the year 1808, wider the authority of the laws of the State, ' the tax levied under the Ordinances," and that " the collectors of taxes w:ll proceed to collect the same at the time and iu the man ner prescribed by the laws of the State for ' btate taxes." It is clear that there is no provision of law authorizing a valuation of personal property for the purpose of levying the tax of the Convention, and that the assessments are to be added to the assessments already made or about to be made under the au thority of the laws of the State, for the year 1808. The Revenue law of North-Carolina rati fied the 20th day of February, 1807, provides that certain personal property shall be an nually listed at the value thereof in National Currency on the 1st of April preceding, and in assessing State taxes thereon certain exceptions are made and exemptions pro vided for. The valuation under this law is the valua tion of 1808 referred to, and I am clearly of the opinion that in assessing the Conven tion tax the exceptions and exemptions set forth in the laws of the State should be strictly regarded, and that the tax of the Convention can be assessed only upon those who otherwise are tax payers under the laws of North-Carolina. The absurdity of the questions propound ed by those list takers, who have been pursuaded that it is their duty to list and value all personal property and assess the Convention tax thereon, is a complete refuta tion of any alleged reason for a departure from the palpable construction of. the law : for instance, the following case has been actually submitted, for decision, to these Headquarters: "A person who is not a freeholder, has a mattiuss, a pig, and a calf, in all amounting to Stten dollars valuation;" the property is exempt from State taxation under the laws of North-Carolina shall the r.mvi iitiiin tux. auiiiuntuii! to three nmirlcrs of one cent, "he assessed tfiercori amTcol kjctedS'?..The proposition is too absurd for serious consideration, and tlio plain terms of the law, as presented to my mind, admit of . no construction authorizing an- assessment of the Convention tax upon such exempted property. ,:,! . !. I am Sir, with respect ' Sincerely yours, EDWARD W. HINKS, Brecet Brig. General U. S. A.' Commanding Pout. A Proclamation ol War bv the Rebel Leaders against Republicans! ' The Raleigh Sentinel, the orgau of the ' Rebel leaders and of RcImjIs who are enga ged in business, makes the following procla mation :' : .' i ; !i ' We must taboo and ignore all apostates to their color and kindred. We must give the preference, in all our business transac tions, to merchants, traders, mechanics, and laborers, who stood by their race and friends in the late struggle." An appeal like the above strikes at the very root of business and destroys all con. fidenee between men of opposite parties. It is a proclamation of social and business war without regard to race. No one deplores the condition of the.; country more than we do. But the re sponsibility for existing distresses and for this spirit of proscription is not with us. The Republicans have simply carried out their political principles. They have done this at the call of the nation, as the only means of restoring permanent civil govern ment for the good of all, and they have been actuated by "charity to all, and by malice towards none." Many of the people of the State are in deep distress. Thousands are penniless and breadless, without employ ment, and with no prospect of employ ment. Hundreds are in a starving condition. Every good citizen should exert himself under such circumstances to allay strife, to banish resentment, to heal the wounds of war, and to encourage the people ot all classes and colors to improve their condi tion. Confidence between man and man, instead of being still further impaired, should be strengthened in every practicable way. The starving should be cared for, no matter what may have been their political views or course, and labor should be en couraged without regard to the political status of those who may ask for labor. The writer of this has been in public life twenty five years. He has been, for most of this time, a decided partizan, and has given em ployment to scores of voters ; yet he has never even asked one of his employees how he was going to vote, and he has never proscri bed or punished an employee for voting his honest sentiments. But this should not prevent him from protecting his friends, nor from retaliating in a just and manly way on those who would refuse labor to a man. or starve the poor on account of their political opinions. The Rebels have thfl advantage just now in the ownership of the lands and in the means of business that enable them to give employ ment to labor. It seems they are determin ed to avail themselves of this advantage without regard to consequences, by a sys tem of proscription towards their opponents the most exacting and merciless iu its char acter. Their minds are clearly and finally made up to this course. We regret it, but it is so. If we could alter it, we would. If we thought any appeal from us would move tbein we would make it, but we feel sure it would not. What then ? All politieal power in this State will soon pass into Republican hand. We shall soon have all the prestige, all the patronage, and all the power of the nation al and Stale governments on our side. We must protect ourselves. A savage war. which would scourge honest labor from fields and workshops, and from domestic and public employment, on account of polit ical opinions honestly entertained and hon estly voted, must be met in a spirit of just, exacting, persistent retaliation. If Republi cans, whether humble or exalted, are " ta booed and ignored," they must do the same in return.. If the savage makes war upon you with the tomahawk nnd scnlping-knife, you must fight him with the same weap ons, or expect to le destroyed. Republi cans must also give the preference in trade and business to their own friends. Every office and every employment, Irom the low est to the highest, must be in Republican hands. No man who is not an open and avowed Republican must be per mitted to eat a crust of bread from Town, County, or State Treasury. Every social, every pecuniary, every indus trial, every political interest must be wielded to augment and exalt the Republican party, and to depress and destroy the Rebel party. The militia must be organized and placed solely in loyal hands. The Justices of the Peace, soon to be appointed by the Govern or, must all be fire-tried Republicans. Tax es must lie levied to support those who are starving. It is true, they, will fall equally on the Republicans and the Rebels, but the for mer will have all the offices, will handle the taxes, will hold the reins of government ; and thus they will not feci this pressure as their Rebel enemies will. Public works must be undertaken, which will give em ployment to surplus loyal labor. The national government will step in to aid the State, in this work of protecting and uphold ing the laboring, worthy poor of both races. And in these ways, and in every conceiva ble way that is just and honorable. Republi cans will be protected and sustained in this savage war which is waged upon thein by the Rebel leaders ; and these latter, instead of profiting or prospering by the unchristian course they have adopted, will find in the end that their only reward has been the bitter ashes of revenge. We know there are some high-minded, honorable men, identified with this very wicked Rebel party, who do not sanction this course, but whose feelings revolt against it We say U these gentlemen, come out from this modern Baby lon, u that ye be not partakers of her sins." To the afflicted poor to the destitute and the starving to the poor widows and or phans of the dead Confederate soldiers to the poor widows and orphans of the dead Uni.m soldiers, and of those who were shot or hanged because they loved the flag to while and colored, who know not this hour how, to-morrow, they may get a crust of : bread to the stricken and sorrowing to all loyal hearts we say, be of good cheer, lor the hour of your redemption draweth" nigh. . The times arc gloomy, we know--they are very gloomy, but we look for better.' They teiU be better, and that right soon., Bear this savage war which is waged upon yon by the Relel leaders bear it with an un broken spirit,' though the body lie weak from much listing, and though the children Btill cry for bread, for wc tell you that the hand of the man' who traces these lines is stronger to-day thanks be to God and the people ! than all the Rebel hands in this State; and lie is pledged to you by a sol emn vow to succor and protect ou to the last jot of every power that may 'be placed in his hands. There is no lienor that could tempt him to desert this people ; and he ardently hopes the day is nut distant when he will have it in his power, sustained as he 1 will be by the Legislature, and by a loyal J magistracy, and by every department of the State government from the lowest to the highest, to devise measures, and to promote a condition ol general prosperity, from which relief in some form or other will flow to all. Yet a little while, nnd we shall be ofns well as in the Union. Yet a little while, and bread at least can be had from the gath ered crops, now nearly ready for the harvest. Yet a little while, and capital or money will begin to come out immigrants will come in confidence in business will revive la bor will begin to receivesomo living reward, and we shall have belter times. But, let every one work, no matter at what price. Let every one work somewhere, with some body, at some price. Let those who arc so fortunate as to obtain work, so labor as to render themselves indispensable to their em ployers, and thus command a living. This is the secret, after, all, of success in life ; and thus it is that labor can command capital as capital does labor. Let no one say that we have advised pro scription cither socially or in business mat ters, save in self-defence. But we do advise it in self-defence. We have been driven to it. We deplore it, but we accept it as the sol dier does the musket on the field of battle. We say to our friends, acquit yourselves like men in this conflict. Stand by eacli oUur, and stand by each otlier alone, in ecerything. The Rebel leaders arc striving to outlaw you socially, to outlaw you in business, to outlaw you as laborers and worklngmcn, and thus to starve you on account of your political opiuions. Remember this when you give, or lend, or sell, or buy, or contract, or endorse. Remember it, and act accordingly, and we shall soon see who gets the mastery, the Rebel leaders, who are shorn of power and destined to future ignominy and pover ty, or the Republicans, who are soon to be clothed upon with the whole power and patronage of the State, and who are sustain ed and protected by the greatest and most beneficent government in the world. The Rebel Spirit. From all sections of tho State is told the same tale of persecution, intiinidatir.n, bri bery, threats and frauds, resorted to by the rebels for the purpose of carrying the late election. Social ostracism was carried to the last extremity. Rebels physicians were not to attend the sick -bed of a Republican. No good " Southern man " was to buy a cents worth of anything from a " scallawag." Colored men were to be bundled into the streets if they voted the Republican ticket, and were to be paid extra if they kept away from the polls. The Kn klnx Klans exhausted all their resources. Thousands and thousands of colored people have been terrified from the polls, nnd they have in timidated white voters, in neighborhoods where there were few Republicans, by placing coffins before their doors, and threatening them with death if they should dare to vote their sentiments. This tcrro- ism will recoil most fearfully upon the beads of these mid-night cowards and prowlers. They mud be brought to justice. The voice of mercy and forgiveness has hecn heard long enough. It is high time for justice to speak. Should the election come off to morrow, from ten to fifteen thousand more votes would be polled for the Constitution. One good thing has resulted from all the rebel bitterness and violence in the late cam paign. There are now no Conservative Re publicans. Feeble knees have been made strong, and weak back-bones have become iron. The fierce fires through which the Re publicans have passed during the last few months have burnt out the generosity and magnanimity which characterized their ac tion in the late Convention. The mildest men amongst us no longer counsel liberal measures, but are now standing on the highest ground of Radicalism. We are all Radicals now. Conciliating rebels belongs to the past. Attention. Arrangements have been made for the del egates from North-Carolina to the National Republican Convention at Chicago, on the 20th day of May to pass to and from Chi cago for one fare via Chattanooga, Nashville and Chicago Railroad line. All persons de sirous of availing themselves of this chance to visit Chicago and see the loyal men of the nation in council, will please address John T. Deweese, Raleigh, N. C, who will fur nish all the necessary information. This route offers greater inducements than any other route. Less changes, finer cars than any other route; and, besides passengers will get a finer view of the Mississippi river and a glimpse of Western life. i Change of Troops. We learn that companies G. H. and K. Cth infantry, have been ordered from Charles ton to Raleigh, and that Col Bomford, with the companies of the 8th, now at this post, have been ordered to Charleston. Col. Clitz, it is supposed will succeed Col. Bomford, but we learn he hits leave ot ab sence for some months. During his absence the command of the Post will devolve on Col. j Moore, of the 6th, who reached here a few clays since trom Charleston, and is at pres ent at Cam) Sweet. Col. Moore is an able and accomplished officer, and will make an excellent commandant of the Post. Our people we are sure w ill be pleased with him. Col. Frank has also been relieved of his command at Wilmington. THE &EPLBLICAN JIBILEE. Grand Torchlight Procession ! ' ' On Friday evening last, 'May 1st, the Re- publicans of the City of Raleigh joined in one of the grandest triumphal processions ever witnessed in this 8tate. The recent, victory achieved over the rebels filled each heart with emotions of pleasure and grati tude, and cheer after cheer went up to the moonlit Welkin, burdened with voice of a people's rejoicing. 1 1 ,; : ' ' 'At early dusk; several hbmbs were exulo-" ded, to announce the hour of assembling, when the band at the foot of Fayetteville Street, . in front of the Executive Mansion, began to play patriotic airs. 'Thither the people flocked, bearing flags' and banners,' transparencies, Chinese and oval lanterns of red, white and blue, and here the procession was femned under the direction of Marshals Jones and Hunter. In the van of the pro cession, Roman candles were kept burning, while the band discoursed its sweetest music The line of march was up Fayetteville St., . and thence East along Martin St.; to Moore Square, north along Blount to Harget, west to Fayetteville, thence to Hilbiboro' St., and thence by Edenton to Newbern, and thence by Bloodworth, Hargctt, Martin, Salisbury and McDowell streets to Nash Square, which was brilliantly illuminated. . Those Republicans, who resided upon the line ot march, were greeted with applause as the pricession passed their houses. The tire-works at Nash Square were un der the direction ot Mr. C. H. Drumm. Rockets, fire-wheels, cannon crackers, burn ing barrels of turpentine, and other means of illumination, were successfully employed, and when the procession appeared with its numerous lanterns, the spectacle was grand as it was beautiful. Among the inscriptions upon the trans parencies we quote the following: Free thought, free walk, free talk. Our trust is in the American Congress. Loyal men must rule. Rebels and traitors must take back seats. Gov. W. W. nolden veni, vidi, vici. Those who wish to leave the State because Holden's elected, can get a free pass to h 1 or New Jersey. Nieder mit Andy, (down with Andy.) Es sebc die freiheit, (.long live liberty.) Fur gott und Vateiland. The graves ot those Irish patriots, who died for American liberty, : are consecrated in our memories. Liberty ' for all, protection to labor. Ilumpty dumptly on the wall, hump- ty dunipty got a fall, Ashe and Pell and Zul and Hall. We are going home. The new Constitution the bulwark of liberty and freeman rights. The lanterns were constructed under the supervision of Rufus II. Harrison. Lnderone of the oaks on JNusli square, a stand was erected for the speakers, where the audience having assembled it was ad dressed by Gov. Holden, Gen. Larlin, Jas. H Harris. Hon. D. Heaton, Gen. C. H. Broa den, W. M. Coleman, Jos. W. Holden, T. F. Lee and C. L. Harris, Esq. We shall at tempt no sketch of these speeches. They were greeted with every mark of approval and delight. During the intervals between the speeches, the band played lovely airs, and at the close of the speaking, songs wcie sung, then a portion of the procession took up the line of march and serenaded the principal candidates elect. " Thus passed off one of the most pleasant evenings known in the political history of nnv party ever organized in this State. We only wish that instead of twenty-five bun tired of our own citizens, that twelve or fif teen thousand of our friends from other sections could have been with us to enjoy themselves and add their strength tnthede. monstration. As it is, however, wc have nothing to regiet, but look back upon the evening of May 1st with unalloyed pleas urc, happy that all our Republican friends were delighted, and pleased that so many of our opponents gazed with eager eyes at the magnificent display which passed lefore their dwellings like some oriental pageant m Starving Out. The bitterness and vindictiveness of the defeated rebels is beyond nil parallel. In their last agony of desperation, many are taking the advice of their . leading organs, and have begun the systematic attempt of starving to death all the colored voters who voted the Republican ticket. This is a part of the oath of the Ku-klux Klan, which does not stop short of assassination and ar son. For what crime are these loyal color ed citizens to be starved to death ? A more docile, peaceable, orderly and law-abiding people have never lived in anv country. Although they have had grevious wrongs to complain of, not in a single instance have they thought of taking redress into their own hands. Wc defy a single case to be pointed out during all the intense excite ment ot the late campaign, when they have unlawfully resorted to violence. Verify, it seems to be true that whom " the Gods would destroy, they first make mad " Do these men, transported with passion, know what they are doing ? Do they know the laws that are already written on the Statute Books of the United States, which are only waiting a faithful chief Executive to be i carried into execution ? Do they know f what these laws, are I Do they know that in all human probability Ben Wade will be President ot the United States before a fortnight, with a corps of loyal officers to ex ecute the laws of the nation ? Do they' know further, that the State government has passed into loyal hands ? We would advise men to "fie cautious how they con spire to starve men out for voting to carry into effect the will of the nation, and re store the State to the Union. Loyal men must govern. - m Grant and Wadk Endorsed by thk Republicans of Nebraska. A telegram to the Hon. John M. Thayer, Senator in Con gress front Nebraska, dated Omaha, yester day, and received by him ' yesterday after noon, states that " the Republican State Convention has this day unanimously en dorsed Grant and Wade for President and Vice President of the United States, and elected their delegates to Chicago."

When, nearly two years ago, lie called mu from tho pur suits ot my imf'st,iim:il life to hike a seat in his Cabinet, I answered the call under a a sense of public duty. I came here almost a stranger to li'nu nnd to every member of the Cabinet, except Mr. gtuiitou. ' We had been friends for many years. Senators, need I tell you, that all my tenden cies arc conservative Tou, Mr. Chief. Justice, who have known mc for a third of a century-, can bear me witness. As law, not arms, is my profession, from the moment that I was honored with a scat iu the Cabinet of Mr. Johnson, not a step was taken that did not come nndcr my ob servation. Not a word was said tbut escaicd my attention. I retr.irdod him closelv in the Cabi net, and still more in privrtc. and confidential conversation. I saw him often tempted with bad advice. I knew that evil counsellors were more than once around him. I observed him with the most intense anxiety, but never, in word, or thought, or action, did I discover In that man any thing but loyalty to the Constitu tion and the laws. He stood as firm as a rock against oil temptation to abuse his own powers, or to excise those which were not conferred up on him. Steadfast, self-reliant in the midst of all difficulties, when dangeis threatened, when temptations were strong, he looked only to the Constitution of his country and to the people. Yes, Senators, I have seen that man tried, us few have been tried. I have seen his conlidencc abnsed. I havo seen him endure, day a.ter day. privations such as few men have ever been called upon to meet. No man could have met them with more sublime patience. Sooner or later, howeverj 1 knew the explosion must come, and, wheu it did come, my ouly wonder was that it had I'eeu so long delayed. Tes, Senators, with all his faults, the President has been more sinned against than sinning. Fear not, then, to acquit him. The Constitution of the country is as safe in l his hands from violence, as it was iu the hands of Washington. ' ' But if, Senators, you condemn him; if yon strip him of the robes of office ; if you degrade him to the utmost stretch of your power, murk the prophesy : The strong arm of the people teiU be about hint. They will find a way to raise him Irom, any depths to which yon may consign him, and we shall live to sec him redeemed, and to hear the majes tic voice of the people: " Well done thou faith ful servant; you shall have your reward." But if, Senators, as I cannot bclh-ve, but as has been boldly said, with almost official sanction, your votes have been canvassed, nnd the doom of the President is scaled, then let that judgment not be pronounced in this Senate Chamber, just here where our Cainillus in the hour ol our greatest peril, Einglu haudcd met and baffled the enemies of the Republic. Not, here, where lie stood faithful among the faithless! Not here where hu fought the good tight for the Union and the Constitution I Not iu this Chamber, whose walls echo with that clarion voice, that, iu the days of our greatest danger, carried hope and comfort to many a despondent he rt, strong as an army with banners 1 No, not here ! Seek out rather, the darkest and gloomiest chamber in the subterranean recesses of the Capitol, where the cheerful light of day never enters. ' There erect the altar and immolate the victim !" In the Ilouse, Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, made a personal explanation, to the effect that Mr. Wushburne, of Illinois, had written a letter to Mr Donnelly's constituents denouncing him, lie said the letter contained twenty-four false statements. lie proceeded an hour and a half in the most bitter invecti The Speaker called him to order a half dozen times, but Mr. Washburne, said let the party go on, nnd the House not objecting, he went on. Mr. Washbnruc replied, rcitcratiing the truth of his letter, aud saying that he could make no answer to a man who had been false to his friends, his party, his country, his religion and his God. Pending a motion to censure Mr. Washburne, the House adjourned. Washington, May 4th. In the Bouse Mr. Wiudorn presented his resolution censuring Mr. Washburne. Mr. Washburne also presented a resonltion the purport of which has not transpired. The Speaker requested them to withhold until tertlic Court. ' The House then went to impeaehmeut. In the Senate nothing preliminary. Dr. Bing ham is speaking. Washington, May 4, P. M. Honsc : A com mittee of seven, With power to send for persons and papers was appointed ou the Donnelly and Washburne case. ' A motion to expunge 8atuidny's proceedings from the record,: caused much excitemeut, but was withdrawn alftr Mr. Donnelly and Mr. Washburne hud withdrawn their offensive re marks. Pending a motion to adjourn Mr. Donclly. asked lcuve that Mr. Washburne nnd he should imitate Thomas and Stanton, and take a drink. Mr. Washburneclnlmed to be a temperance man. - In the Court Mr. Biugliam disavowed any partizan prejudice. He was there as the repre sentative of the people. He applied the term "hired" frequently to the President's Counsel, and said that Mr. Evarts' speech had more Latin than law, more rhetoric than logic, and more in tellectual pyrotechnics thau vither. He argued that the President bad no right (o construe the laws, and t he Supreme court hud no possible jurisdiction in the case He said the gcntlcinuu wto opened this case claimed that the President, may judicially con strue the Constitution lor himself; and may ju dicially determine whether your laws are passed under the Constitution, and whether he shall ex ecute them. I repeat Jhis that it may be buried into the hearts of the Senators, that the laws ! were only to be executed if it pleased Uts high neas Andrew Johnson Bret King of the United States. If the President can do this as Insisted upon by his advocates, I iusist that the Constitu tion, which we have becu taught to revere as the bulwark of our liberties, is a Constitution of an archy, a Constitutipn which invites violation ol the law, not obedience to it I insist f urther that if Senators by their judgment would coun tenance this plea, they would be the architects of their country rain; they wouM give over this land to endless chaos aud anarchy. No matter what demagogues may say about out of this Chamber, the issue is anarchy in this land, and the recording Angel of history is ready to trace it. That is all of it. It is the head and front of. Andrew Johnson's offending, that he has assumed to himself the prerogative oi Interrupting the Constitution, and duckling upon the law for himself. In spite of all the technicalities, this was it. With all re spect to Senators nnd to the able counsel after the weeks and weeks of discussion on this casu, if there is one mau who does not understand this simple position, tlitn God in 1IU intiuite wisdom, has denied him'reason. ., ' The White Uonse was crowded nil tag visit rs. - '. , Tho Star has the following: waghmcnt stock tlr.ctual.
