New York, Nov. 2l.-A letter from
Hatteras Inlet, dated the 18th says:
We learn that North Caralina, by a
Convention of delegates representing
45 counties, has declared a Provisional
Government, and has entirely repudi-
ated the Secession Act of the State,
and re.affirming her loyalty and devo-
ton to the Constitution of the United
States. The Convention met at Hat
teras on Monday last The act passed
contained several sections, the sub
stance of which is: ...
The ist declares vacant all the Off
ces of the State.
The 2nd names Marble Nash Taylor,
Provisional Governor.
The 3rd adopts the Constitution ofthe
State with the statutes and laws con-
tanned in the Revised Code of 1856.
The 4th repudiates the ordinance
secession passed at Raleigh, on the 20
day of May, together with all other
acts then adopted.
The 5th directs the Provisional Gov,
ernor to order n special election for
members of Congress.
The 9th gives to the government au'
thority to make temporary appoint,
ments to official vacancies.
The Convention then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the President.
Governor Taylor has issued his proc
lama,ion for an election in the End con
grcssional district, which will be held
on Wednesday, the 9th inst.
A smart engagement took place at
Hatteras Inlet on the l4th, between
the coast survey steamer Corwin and
the rebel steamer Curlew. The latter
vessel apparently got the worst of the
contest, and retreated after receiving q
hot and telling fire from the Corwin.

fact is that our forces now in the field

this way the public has been made i'm

Our COuntry's Call.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Lay down the ak, fling by the spade;
leave in It's track the toiling plow;
The rifle and the bayonel blade
For arms like yours were filter now;
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light task, and learn to WELD
The horsemsn's crooked brand, and rein
The ch arger on the battle field.
Our country calls! away, away;
To where the blood stream blots the gIeen
Strike to defend the gentest sway
That Time in all bis course has seen.
See from a thousand coverts-see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track
They rush to SIN ite her down, and we
Must beat he banded traitors hack.
Ho! sturdy as the oaks ye cleave,
And moved rs soon to fear and flight,
Men of The glade and forest! leave
Your woodcrait for the field of fight.
The arms that WELD the ak must pour
An iron tempest on the foe;
His serted ranks sha II reel before
The arm that lays he panther low.
And ye who breast the nountain storm
BY grassy steep or highland lake,
Come, for the land ye love to form
A bulwark that 10 foe can break.
Stand, like your own gray cliffs that mock
The whirlwind, stand in her defense;
The blast as soon shall move the rock
AS rushing squadrons bear ye thence. ..
And ye, whose homes ar, by her grand
Swift rivers, Using far away, ..... ..-..
Come from the depth Of her green land
AS might in your march as they;
A. terrible as when the rains
Have sweled them over bank and bourue,
With sudden floods to drown the q lains
And sweep along the woods uptorn.
And ye who lhrong beside The deep
Her ports and humets of strand,
In numbers like The waves that leap
On his long mu Inuring marge of sand,
Come like that deep, when, DER his brim,
He rises, all his floods TO pour,
And filings the proudest bGrks that swim,
A helpless wreck against his shore.
Few, few were they whose swords of old,
Won this fair land in which we dwell;
But we are many, we who told
The grim resolve to guard it well,
Strike Ior that broad and goodly land
Blow after blow, till men shall see
That Might and Right move hand in hand,
And glorious must their triumph be.

Matters in the State of Kentucky
are coming to crisis. We look for a
battle at or near Bowling Green. Our
army is near $4,000 strong in that
vicinity, and is being rapidly strengths
ened; so that in short time we shall
doubtless have 100000 to 125,o0o
men that line. Buckner has unques>

tomac. But our confidence in the suc-
cess of our arms is complete.

The Retreat TO ST.. Louis.

The st. Louis Democrat in noticing the move
ment of Gen. Hunters force from Springfield
to St. Louis. says: la i'I l-''
The reason for this abandonment of the
Southwestern campaign we suppose must re-
main for time matter Of speculation. 1t is
not 10 be supposed that our army is retiring in
any fear of the result of contest with the reb-
ell forces, and we are left to conjecture that the
concentration of Gen. Hunters forces at this
point has more important meaning than the
mere providing of good wi lter quarters for the
troops. In the meantime if the whole army is
to be retired, what is TO become of the Union
men in the Southwest, and how soon may we
expect return of Gen. Price and his army to
the fat regions of Lafayette and Saline coun-
ties" .9N .1
When Gen. Hunter took command of General
Fremonts army three or four weeks of good
campaigning weather remained. Fremont had
overcome The worst of the march, and was Just
getting within striking distance of the enemy.
His Body Guard had gallantly swept down and
put to rout one strong detachment. The whole
army were eager. confident and determined,
and would have followed up Price in "double
quick even thro' Arkansas under the lead of the
Pathfinder. In an evil hour Gen. Hunter su-
perseded Gen. Fremont. His plan of pursuit
and battle we're cast aside, and u retrograde
movement WAS lnanSurateu. Inc COST OIL pre-
paration and march of two hundred miles were
thrown away, and the camgaign closed inglo-
riously by one of the most remarkable retreats
on record. Gen. Hunter could have had bat
tie if he had sought one. and then had the rich

Highly Important from Tenne'

The Importance of the news from Tennessee
can hardly be overestimated. 1t will transfer
the seat of war from Virginia and Kentucky

lists are doing noble service to their country in
Tennessee. They are proving themselves true

very vitals. The importance of the railroad
Tennessee, and then TO Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, has been fully appreciated by both
sides. The rebels have carefully guarded it,
and the Union army has been endeavoring TO
get possession of it, TO destroy the communica-
tion with Northern and Southern secssia. The
Union men of Tennessee have now destroyed
five or six bridges upon this road and its con-
nections. Two we're in Hamilton and Bradley
counties, which are adjoining in the southeast
corner of the State Two more were in Green
county, in the northeastern county, almost up
on the Virginia line, and another in Sullivan
county, few miles southwest of Green. In
Jefferson county, still further to the southwark,
bridge was fired, but the flames extinguished.
There is not doubt but that these were the re-
suit of preconcerted action on the part Of the
Unionists, who haze done nobly in their efforts
to cripple the rebellion. The rebel armies in
forcement thus cut off. are in critical position
which the presence of Gen. Sherman's g forces
below Charleston does not improve. We i'm
agine that the Virginia arries will fall back
into North and South Carolina rs rapidly as
Gen. Mcclellan will let Them. The destruc-
tion of the bridges will also cause panic in
Zollicoffer, which was defeated at Pikeville OF
Friday and Saturday last. Instead pf pushing
toward the Ohio, he will now be planning some
escape from the two fires which menace his
front and rear.
Meantime it is reported that the railroad
bridge just north of Nashville has also been de.
stroy yed, which will leave Buckncr at Bowling
Green in dangerous condition.
