The DlHUUlom Faction.
It may not be improper or unprofitable to
■quire to what leaders the present advocates
disunion in North-Carolina are attached,
, ra'her, to show what masters this faction,
fraction, is serving. We think we know,
, I we intend t-» tell.
First, there is the Governor John W. Ellis,
aiid second, there is the Adjutant General
I'lni F. Iloke, and third, there ure Saml. J.
i'-rson, W. W. Avery, Marcus Erwin, Wm.
« 1 homas, T. 1). Meares, Victor C. Barring-u
and others, who may bo regarded as the
tl> master spirits of disunion in our last Leg-l-
fcture. Lastly, the principal Clerks of the
t tei *1ouses-
}'"hese were the chiefs of the disunion sqad ;
■:'■ what did they propose? First, to call
:; ' 'invention of tho peopio of the Stata bv a
■':..re majority, in the face ■ f a plain, palpable
provision of the Constitution roquiring two-tbirds.
Here we see their revolutionary ten-!
de,icyattbe very first step tl.ey took. ' The |
V • ion men met them on this, and drove them
frvm their untenable position.
N u they wanted a Convention, but did not
nt the acts of that Convention to bo sub-tod
to the decision of tho people. From
s ground also they were driven by tho Un-nion;
and finally it was decided byatwo-
•ds vote that the proposition foraConven-
• hould be submitted to the pec pie.
■ † is proposition was voted down on the
of February last, and not being the un-
, ■•national mode desirod by these masters,
lb tv rise up and say to their servants. "Try
ag,in. We can't do any thing under tho con-tUlioDal
mode—we are likely to go down
ider the odium of public senti-y
lor us, and save us from the
crisis'* of-politkal destruction—
| .e, organize, form leagues and combina-tvijis—
uo any thing ; but, for tho sako of of-j
save us— fairly if you can, but at all ha-
! Is, save us." ,
obedient to the commands'of the masters,
rvants, have gone earnestly to work.

From the National Inlclligencer.
The 1'ernianmt Constitution of the
Confederate States.
The members of the " Sonthern Congress,',
sitting at Montgomery, in tho State of Ala-bama,
have matured and published their re-port
of a permanent Constitution for tbe
"Confederate States."
Adopting in nearly all its parts the precise
language, and following in ite articles and
sections the order <>f arrangement of ;he
I Constitution of tho United States, it differs
'from the latter in rome particulars, which
I we proceed to place conspicuously before cur
readers, who will infer that the portions of
the document not cited for some diversity
lay any duty of tonnage, Accept-on sea-going vessels
for the improvement of itstivers and harbors navigated
"by the said vessels; but svh duties shall not conflict
with any treaties of^tht Confederate States with
foreign nations: and any Jorplus of revenue thus de-rived,
shall, after maktng such improvement, be paid
into the common treasury : nor shall any State keep
troops or ships of war in me of peace, enter into any
agreement or compact v, th another -State, or with a
foreign Power, or engage in war, unless actually in-vaded,
or in such immjne t danger as will not admit
of delay. But when any i ver divides or flows through
two or more States, they lay enter into compacts with
each other to improve the navigation thereof."
Be Still.
from or addition to *be (.'oKstitul.ioji.pt the _as follows ;

The new project ojiens wiih the following
preamble :
" We, the people of the Conlederate States, each
State acting us its sovereign and independent character, in

Confederate States told office for the term
of six years, tho President not being re-eligible.

The second section of tho first article im-poses
the following restriction on the rights
of suffrage, in order to correct an abuse
which has sprung from the action of certain
States in the Union which have granted the
right of voting to unnatoralized aliens :
" The House of Representatives shall be composed
of members chosen every second year by the people of
the several States; and the electors in each State shall
be ciu'zens of the Confederate States and have the
qualifications requisite for electors of the most numer-ous
branch oi the State Legislature, but no person of
foreign birth not a citizen of the Confederate Sta V*
shall be allowed to vote for any officer, civil or political
State or Federal."
In adjusting the basis of representation and
direct taxation, " throe-fifths of all slaves "
are enumerated, as in the Constitution of the
United States, which substitutes for the word
" slaves " the euphemism " other persons."
The number of representatives given prior
to an actual enumeration of the population,
which is appointed to take place within three
years after the first meeting of the Congress
of the Confederate States, and within every
subsequent term of ten years, is as fallows :
"The State of South Carolina shall be entitled to
choose six, the State of Georgia ten, the State of Ala-bama
nine, the State of Florida two, the State of Mis-sissippi
seven, the State of Louisiana six, and the
State of Texas six ■
On-tho subject of impeachments the fol-lowing
supplementary provision is made :
"The House of Represent ai ires shall choose the.r
Speaker and other officers, and shall have the sole pow-er
of impeachment, except that any judicial or other
Federal officer resident and acting' solely v.-ithin the
limits of any State may be impeached by a vote of two-third;
of both branchesof the Legislature thereof"
ft is provided that the; Senators -of-tho
Confederate States shall be chosen by the
State Legislatures " at the regular session
next immediately preceding the commence-ment
of tho term of service."
It is provided that the concurrence of
"two thirds of The whole number" of each
House shall be necessary to the expulsion
of a member.
Congress is authorized to make tho foliovi -
iijg provision in reference to heads of tho
Executive Departments :

Appointments and removals are regulated
as follows:

"Be still, and know that I am God," is one
of the most difficult lessons whicb we have to
learn. When tho pressure of an Almighty
hand is npon as, we are disposed to see
whence the pressure comes, or for what rea-son
it comes. No one can live long in this
world without encountering severe afflictions.
They belong to the lot of oar inheritance.—
The plant, whose young growth we have
watched with pleased interest, may for a sea-son
be all we could desire; but afterwards
wo sorrowfully regret to see upoc it the knot-ty
exescence, tho sickly leaf, the worm-eaten
bark, and the signs of a general decay. It
is no longer what it was, a thing of beauty ;
but an unsghtly object, which is withering
+ *•**-parish »<*., Lik©wJ^t_oar ptV90ec.ts are
soon overcaBt, and stern realities oflife take
the place of the dreams of youth. Sickness
and blight fall on the^once happy circle, and
the merry laugh is hushed, as one ofter an-other
of our beloved ones pale before us and
die. One ofour most painful convictions is,
that they are gone hence, and their places
here are for ever to_be vacant. In these
changes we are not only observers, but ac-tors.
.Robust health receives at first perhaps
a slight tap from disease, and then comes the
pronominal ion and alarm that a fatal seed
has been desposited which will bring forth
death. The path of life ia beset with sor-rows,
which are as varied in forms as they
are multiplied in number. They invade
mind,«body, family, and estate. They cannot
be evaded, tat they form a part of the curse
which sin has incurred, and which must ever
cling to a sinful nature. How and in what
spirit shall they be met ? Shall we stoically
say, Let them come, we will brave them ?—
Or shall we occupy ourselves in referring
them to second causes, upon which we will
wreak our indignation ? Or shall we not ra-ther
regard them as the appointments ofGod
who, to the piously submissive, will use them
as wholesome chastisements; but to the re-bellious
asjndgments? "Be still, and know
that I am God. Utter no plea of suffering
innocence; no reason for exemption ; no bit-ter
complaints; no proud language of resis-tance
; b,ut be still, be quiet, for it is the Lord
who does it. The efficacy of this remedy de-pends
on the knowledge we have of God's
character. If we only regard him as an inex-orable
Judge, whose presence we dread, there
can be no consolation in recognizing him in
our afflictions. The sting of them is only
thereby rendered more severe. Should we,
.however, havo learned that he is our Father
in Heaven, »ho loves and pities as, and who
A Beautiful Extract.
The following extract is from a letter which
was written upon the death of a child :
" It went in the morning—a bright and ra-diant
morning; many went yesterday, more
to-day, and there are dews to be she J for the
departures of to-morrow. And can it be wan-dered
that pleasant summer mornings should
beguile them into going ? Is it a marvel that
they do not wait for the burden and the noon,
bat follow the lark and her song over the
ruin of the rainbow T That those words so
beantiful, they should make so true, and "joy
comoth in the morning?"
Going in tho morning!—a glorious morn-ing—
when the sky is all beauty, and the world
is all bliss; ere the dews have gone to Heaven
or %b*.*tavi» ha>ve goo* to God; wlumAhe birds
are singing, and tho cool winds are blowing,
and the flowers are out that will be shut at
noon; and the clouds that are never rent in
rain, and the shadows inlaid with crimson lie
away to the west.
We have sometimes seen a little coffin.'like
a casket for jewels, all alone by itself in a
huge hearse, melancholy with plumes, and
gloomy as a frown, and we have thought, not
so Bhould we accompany those a little way
who go in the morning. We have wondered
why they did not take the little coffin into
the carriage with them, and lay it gently upon
their laps, the sleeper there lulled to slumber
without a bosom or a cradle. We have won-dered
what there was for tears to such a
going—in the early morning from home to
home—like fair, white doves with downs-wings
emerging from nether night and flutter-ing
for entrance at the windows of Heaven.—
Noveryet has there been a hand wanting to
take tho wanderer in, and shut out the dark-ness
of the storm-
Upon these litttle faces, it never seemed to
us, that death could place its great seal; there
is no thought of the charnel-house in those
young listeners to that invitation, whoso ac-ceptance
we are bound not to forbid: then
should be morning songs and not sighs; fresh
flowers and not badges of mourning; no tears
or clouds, but bright dews and bright dawn-ings
together.
Fold up the white robe; lay aside the forgot-ten
toy; smooth the little unprcssed pillow,

1 J The following prohibition of the " protec-
1 tive policy" is engrafted in the Constitution
in enumerating the powers of Congress:
" No bounties shall be granted from the Treasury,
; nor shall any duties or taxes on importalions from for-
»,eign nations be laid to promote or foster any branch of
industry."
Internal improvements by tho Confederate
Government are also prohibited :
•'Congress shall have power to regulate commerce
With foreign nations und among the several States, and
with the Indian tribes: but neither this nor any other
clause contained in the Constitution shall ever be con-strued
to delegate the power to Congress to appro-priate
money for any internal improvement intended to
m facilitate commerce; except for the purpose of furnish-ing
lights, beacons, and buoys, and other aids to navi-gation
upon tbe coasts, and the improvement ol har-

The Post Office Department is to pay its

The whole number of representatives is
by law, fixed at two hundred and thirty-throe,
who are apportioned among tho States-free
population of tho States, to which in
slave-holding States, three-fifths of the slaves
is added, by the number two hundred and
thirty-throe, and the product of such divi-sion
(rejecting all fractions of a unit) shall
be the ratio of representation of the several
States; but as tho number and amount of
tho fractions among so many dividehds
would, of course, in the aggregate, be suffi-cient
to reduce the number of representa-tives
below the number specified, it was
provided that the whole number should be
supplied by assigning to so many States hav-ing
the largest fractions, an additional mem-ber
each for its fraction, until the number of
two hundred nod thirty-three members should
be assigned to the several States.
Tho following temporary provisions are
enumerated :
'•The Government established by this Constitution
is the successor of the Provisional Government of the
Confederate States of America, and all tae laws passed
by the latier shall continue in force until the same
shall be repealed or modified; and all the officers ap-pointed
by Ihe same shall remain in office until their
successors are appointed and qualified, or the offices
abolished. »
"All debts contracted and engagements enteved into
before Ihe adoption of tdtfc) Constitution shall be ai
valid against the Confederate States under this Consti-tution

Tho mode of ratification and the number
of States necessary to put tho Constitution
in force are thus designated :
'The ratification of the Conventions of five States
shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Consti-tu.
ion between the Stales so ratifying the same.
_ "When tive Slates shall have ratified this Constitu-tion,
in the niauner before specified,the Congress under

and for ihe meeting cf the Electoral College, und
for counting the votes, andinaugmuiing the President.
They shall also prescribe the lime for holding the first
election of members of Co.igress under this Constitu-tion,
ami the time for assembling the same. Until Ihe
assembling of such Congress, the Congress under the
Provisional Constitution shall continue to exercise the

ard the purposes for which it is made; and Congress
shall grant no extra compensa.ion to any public con-tractor,

Germane to these arrangements is the fol-lowing
provision :

in the title.'

The Board of Police mot in Rankin county
on Saturday last to adopt some measures to
relieve the wants of the poor and destitute.
Something must be done, and that speedily,
or hundreds of our citizens will perish with
hunger. We want to see those who have
been denouncing that good and pure-hearted
old gentleman, Benj. Hawkins, and boasting
that they were willing to give hall" they had
to tbe poor, come forward and subscribe liber-ally.
Will they do it ? We wi!l venture the
prediction that one hundred dollars will not
bo subscribed by all that class of men in tho
county. We have heard of a large number
of men who havo given up their crops and
gone offto hunt work and get food for their
families. If they had the corn to feed their
families and stock they could make a crop
and pay for it in the (all. Theso men do not
want it given to them. They only want it on
a credit until next fall. Our old friend, Hir-am
Jones, informs us that there is a great deal
of destitution in his neighborhood, and that
unless relief is afforded in tbe next ten days
armed bodies of men wi 1 take corn by force
from those who have it.
Major Hawkins has returned from Illinois
with 17,000 bushels of corn and 1,000 bushels
of potatoes, which will be a great relief for
the present; but it will last but a few days.
One hundred thousand bushels more is needed
and there is no money here to buy it with.—
Let those who aro able give liberally of their
means to purchase corn for the destitute and
let an agent be appointed to go and purchase
it, and then let those who are able to make
good notes give their notes to said agent, and
let the agent proceed to Illinois, or some oth-er
favored land, and buy the corn on credt.—

The disunion meeting held here on Monday

been needed to fix the black 6pot of disunion

Shall this EUstrict be any longer misrepre-sented

Death or the Duchess of Kent.
The Queen of England's mother, Maria
Louisa Victoria, Duchess of Kent, died on Sat-urday,
March 16th, at her residence Frog-more,
near Windsor Castle. An incurable
cancer, which bad longed preyed upon her has
at last proved fatal. As tho mother of tho
honored lady who fills the British throne, she
has always been regarded with interest.
Old King George the Third had fifteen sons
and daughters, and yet in \blr*, after the death
of the Princess Charlott, there wero fears that
there would bo no lineal descendants cf his to
wear the crown. Only three of his sons were
then married. The Prir.co Kcgent uad lost
his only^ child, and was separated from his
wife. The Duke of York was separated from
his Duchess, the Duke of Cumberland was di-vorced
and widowed, and the marriage of the
Duko ot Sussex being without tbo royal as-sent,
availed nothing for the succession. So
thero was haste made to marry the other sur-viving
royal children, none of whom wore

1818. A daughter, tho present Queen of Eng-land,
was born May 24tb, 1819, and tho Duko
of Kent died on tho 23d of the following Jan-uary.
Tho Duchess, thus a second time a
widow, devoted herself to the care and train-ing
of her infant daughtei, and it was, in a
great degree, due to her admirable motherly
discipline and carefu education, that tho Prin-cess
Victoria was so well fitted to occupy tho
throne at tho early age of eighteen.
Tho Duchess has always been popular with
the Knglish people, and her death will create
real sorrow among them. She was born Au-gust
17th, 1789, so that she was in hor seventy-fifth
year. The courts of England, Belgium,
Prussia, Saxc- Cobourg, and numerous others,
will be placed in mourning by her decease.

a time, to deposit his vote, tho officer who re-ceived
it boing a friend and parishioner, but
