At this partiou- jar moment it may even be said that more than usual time and attention ought to be bestowed upon every de- tail of Congressional business. And even if all were dong and finished, no pretext of any business any longer, it would be well, while Grant's army is still in existence, and still threatening Richmond, that Congress should atill remain in sossion.

Our respect for that which is good North Carolina intensifies our disdain for that which is mean; and, therefore, while a debate in Congress 00, for example, the old red axndstone would © Wleasurc, we do trust that the ‘negotiations for peace”’ may be totally barred, fabecnti shut out, voted down, swopt uader the table.
