FEELING IN NORTH CAEoLINA.-Son1e pro
ceedings in North Carolina, and some
comments upon them OF leading Journal
of that State, lead to the belief that seces-
sionism has by no means the undivided
affections of the people Of that State
There has been a Union convention IN
uyde county, and the Raleigh '&Ge,"ud
says OF 1t:
"Unless this movement is stopped at
once. by the strong arm of the Conietter-
ate States. more than half the counties IN
this State will be attached to the Black
Republican Government before the Union
Congress meets.
The same paper says that the Conieder-
ate Congress is remss, for leaving this
matter with North Carolina TO attend to,
when it is very evident that the State au-
thorities will never make a move IN this
direction, owing to the reason that they
are in the same boat with the Unionists
1t adds:
"If we were to have a new election to-
day for the legislature and State officers,
no ore kao,cs, amid NE present diScord, what
state of things might t,rn up.
1t is a significant fact that ire OF the
North Carolina regiments 'ohich 'rere enroI-
ed for the acar have been disbanded They
had had neither pa, ment in money or
clothes, and scarcely in food. The Stand
ard fears other regiments will follow their
example.
