TIE Result I'm this State.

We will publish in our next the official vote of
this State fo7and against Convention; also es-
innate of the Union and disunion vote as cast for
candidates for delegates. The people have voted by
about $50 majority against calling Convention
The vote on Convention is no test as at least twen-
ty thousand Union men voted for Convention
Wake County, for example, which gave twelve hun
dred majority for the Union candidates, voted by
nearly two hundred majority for a Convention. 1t
is also true that a number of disunionlsts voted
against Convention, because they foresaw it would
be controlled by Union men.
Gov. Els's newspaper divides the delegates elect,
ed as follows: Secessonists 46 conditional submis
sionsts %, unconditional submissionists 90. This
classification alike false and silly. The true count
is about 81 Unionists and Sc Disunionists No un
conditional submissionist was elected.

AcquittaI OF the Lathams.

Last week in Pitt Superior Court the case Of
George and Charles Latham, (removed from the
County of Beaufort charged with the murder Of
John w. Grist, was tried The case was taken up
on Thursday morning and continued to absorb the
attention of the Court and very large crowd in at
tendance, until the middle of Saturday night A
large number Of witnesses were examined and q
most intense interest exhibited by the numerous
friends of the deceased and of the prisoners, who
were present The argument of counsel commenced
about noon on Saturday, atd about midnight his
Honor Judge Bailey committed the case to the jury,
who in short time returned verdict of not guilty.
The argument was opened by Mr.. Rodman for the
prisoners, who was followed by Mr.. Attorney Gen.
era jenkins for the State, then came Mr. McRae for
the prisoners, who was answered by Mr.. Miller for
the prosecution, which closed the argument
Messrs Attorney General Jenkins, Sparrow and
Warren of Washington, and Miller of Raleigh, ap-
peared for the State and Messrs McRae of Newbern,
Saterthwaite and Singeltary of Pitt, Rodman and
Carte of Washington, for the prisoners
No case has been tried IN the State for years past
that created more interest than this. The whole
trial was Conducted with marked ability on both
sides, and weNearn, without single unpleasant &C.
currence. Thf speaks well of the Court and coun-
sci and those id attendance trial so exciting.

U. S. Senate-Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Mr Douglas offered a
resolution requesting information as to what forts
arsenas, navy yards and other public works within
the limits of the seeded States are now in the &C.
tual possession of the United States the number of
men in each garrison; whether reinforcements are
necessary to retain them-whether the government
has the power and means under existing laws to
supply such reinforcements within the necessary
time-whether it is necessary and wise to reinforce
them with the exception of the forts at Tortueas
and Key West and to recapture those which have
been seized by the seeded States except with
view to the subjugation of said States, and if such
be the motive of their recapture what force of reg
ulars and volunteers will be necessary to reduce
them to subsection and protect the Federal Capitol
The resolution lies over under the rule
Mr.. Fessenden moved a resolution to strike from
the roll of the Senate the names of j. p Benjamin,
A G. Brown, Jefferson Davis, c. G. Clay, Jr,
Stephen R. Mallory and Robert Toombs, late mem
bers of that body. Lies over.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
SECOND DESPATCH.
The object of Mr.. Douglas resolution is to off,
cally disclose the fact that there is no ADEQUATE
power in the government to retake and hold the
Southern forts now in the possession of the seeded
States, and also to show that such a proceeding
would involve the necessity of large additional
military force and an enormous expenditure and
that therefore the question must be postponed till
the meeting of the next Congress
Col Sumner has been nominated to the Senate as
Brigadier General in place of Gen. Twiggs
THIRD DESPATCH.
Mr. Douglas will address the Senate on his reso-
luton tomorrow. He will lay down three PROPOSE
tons comprising the only for solving the present
complications.
1st Such amendments to the Constitution as will
guarantee to the seeded States their rights, and
bring them back into the Union 81
2nd The recognition of their independence and
commercial treaty with them .s..e

tary occupation.
These he considers the three horns of the dlem-
ma. He believes the first one the best and the last

John Cochrane in Richmond.

RICHMOND, March b. 10 P. M.-The Hon. John
Cochrane, of New York, and member of the late
Peace Conference, arrived here this evening" and
registered at the Exchange
Mr.. c. was serenaded tonight by Smiths Band
in the presence of very large crowd. In response
he made an eloquent speech.
He said that Virginia had only to present her
utimatum, and New York would sustain her in it.
whatever that ultimatum might be.
Virginia said the gentleman held the destinies of
the Union in her hands, and the conservative Union
loving citizens of the North were determined that
she should have her rights guaranteed her.
He said the Democratic increase in the New York
inland towns lately was equal to twenty five pr ct
He said he had no hope Exchanging N Hampshire
He said he had stood side by side with the Vir-
gna representatives in Congress, battling for the
principles which they did, and that he now enter
tanned stronger hope of having an adjustment than
when either Congress or the Peace Conference was
in session

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-We see from the Wilmington
papers, that on Saturday night last, about 10
O'Clock, very unfortunate difficulty occurred in
front of the Drug Store of Mr.. L. B. Erambert,
under the City Hotel, in this place, which resulted
very seriously to Mr.. A. j. Costin, and Erambert,
but to the latter particularly They both shot
by man named Pink Shelley, with Colts pistol
Mr.. Costin was shot in the side or hip, the ball
ranging around the back, and making a severe, but
not dangerous wound 1t was extracted yesterday
Mr.. Erambert was shot in the thigh, the ball shat
tering the bone and making very painful and seri
Gus wound. We learn that the ball has not been
found The wound will, under the most favorable
circumstances confine Mr.. Erambert to his bed for
months, we are informed The whole matter is
greatly to be deplored"

SrGNIFrcANT.-The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch, journal devoted to the
secession cause, in recent letter, says:
"Lincoln threatens war because he knows his
hands are tied. War is not the thing zee ought to
fear Peace is our destruction war our salvation"
This is significant for it is the sentiment no doubt,
if they had the bodness to proclaim it of the seces
sionists in our midst "Peace is our destruction !;
war our salvation" That is true. If our present
difficulties adjusted-f North-Carolina does not
in precipitate haste JON the Southern Confederacy
before it falls through and proves miserable failure
the destruction, politically of course, of those in our
midst who now proclaim themselves for secession at
once, is as certain as their designs are PLAIN. From
recent advces it appears that the President is
not disposed to save them by bullets for he refuses
to inaugurate war for their especial benefit. That
the people will, upon the first opportunity, destroy
them by ballots is a fact already appreciated and
felt by none more than themselves.

AZ We shall pay our respects in our next to
the Wilmington Herald. That paper charges us
with being actuated in public conduct by per
sonal malice" The charge is untrue We are
neither actuated by personal malice nor are we a
traitor to the government of the United States,
whose Constitution we have sworn to support The
Editor of the Herald may "curry favor" with Gov.
Ellis and the disunion clique by assaiing us, but
that favor will perish and the hopes and influence
of the conspirators against the government estab-
lished by WASHINGTON will perish with it. We
shall neither ask nor give quarters in this conflict
with the Yanceyites.

PERMANENT CoNsTITUTIoN.-Ino our news column
we give synopsis of the Constitution of the Con-
federae States said by themselves to be permanent
The Congress has it seems engrafted the following
new features upon the Constitution of the United
States which has been the model of the new Govern
ment it proposes to establish for the Confederate
States of America:
The President to hold Office for six instead of four
years.
The subordnates in public offices not to be re-
moved except for specific causes stated in writing
Cabinet Ministers to be allowed to hold seats in
Congress.
Good reasons to be urged for some ofthese changes

forcing the collecting of the revenue, and the

The President may call an extra session of Con-

If he does the secessionsts here and elsewhere will

says:
