STATE CONVENTION!

SERbkADE TO Gov. ELLIs.-The patriotic and
eloquent Governor of the Old North State was
serenaied last night at his lodging at the Ex-
change Hotel, the First Regiment Band having
been engaged for that purpose by number of
citizens.
Hon. Wm. W. Avery was introduced to the
people, who excused the absence of the Cover
nor on account of indisposition and proceed
ed to deliver an impassioned address, which
was received with enthusiastic applause
He said North Carolina was unit on the Sc
cession issue, and would stand or fall with the
Southern Confederacy, with which her fortunes
were now indissolubly linked. She had paused
for Virginia to act, though confident how she
would go in the great contest; there was now
a race between them as to who should be first
in the new and out of the old Confederacy.-
He promised on the part of North Carolina,
arms, ammunition and men in any quantity, or
dered in sustaining Southern Rights. They
could soon, be on the soil Of Virginia. Ad-
dresses were also delivered by Judge Person,
and Hon. NJ. w. Ransom. His Honor, the
Mayor, introduced the last two gentlemen.-

Maryland prefers the South but goes
with Abrail;aIrs.

The Baltimore Sun begins an editorial on
the condition of Maryland as fellows
"There is no doubt, and our experience con-
firms the belief, that the great majority OF our
citizens, would to-day, if the independence of
the Confederate States, including Virginia,
were about to be recognized, vote to unite the
State OF MARYLAND and the city of Baltimore
with the Southern nation. We say that such
is our firm belief; if we mistaken, it is with
the most substantial assurance that our belief
is we'll founded. But how to prove or disprove
such an opinion By a vote Of the people
noac, for or against secession7 By no means
for of the great mass of the people who be-
lleve with US, that in the event of a peaceabe
division, the interests of Maryland would unite
her with the South, nine e-tenths also concur
with us in the principle and policy we have
maintained throughout the whole of the Sc
ccssion movement, from the beginning That
is to say the assertion of Southern Rights
through the equality Of the States IN the
Union. Failinsin this, to await the issues of
that policy which might be resorted TO, what
ever it may be, tor the final adjustment of the
questions pending between the sections, and
then to re-enioy our condition in a restored
Union, or to elect in the other event, between
q Northern and Southern Confederacy. This
is common sense and practicable policy.
So it will be seen that while Maryland is
awei into submission to Lineoin's rule her peo-
pie know and feel that their interests and af
fections are with the Southern Confederacj

Southern States will not in the end maintain
their independence For what then, is this
war waged The war is utterly objectless.-
Does any one presume that the Federal Gov
erpnent can retake all the forts, arsenals and
other public property in the seeded States p
The thing is utterly impossible.
"You, then, people of Maine, should not
give your voice and arm for the prosecution of
a war which can bring neither honor ad
vantage to your sovereign State-awari in which
the flag can gain no new lustre, and which
will bring long years Of anguish distress and
poverty upon all our people Let your whole
Influence and power be exerted rather in be-
half of peace-that peace which must come
sooner or later, either through anicable
treaty between the North and South, or under
the drawn sword of some military dictator"
The New York Daily Neecs although it has
raised the United States flag, refused to do so
upon comp ulsion. The conduct eff the propri-
etor shows how easy it is for one resolute man
to resist mob. y yelling crowd came to his
office and demanded its proprietors to raise the

BILE they would not be dictated to by them !;
and that they might proceed with their work

event in the n. Y. E:cpress:
THE News OFFICE.'-From Wall street
the mob went to the Office of the Neaos, where
by this time increased to about twenty thous-
and they howed and yelled like madmen.-
The Neacs' proprletors were resolute, and would
not Weld to the demands of the mob to show

RETURN OF Mr.. GARRIsoN's NEGRoBs.-On
Saturday, Gen. Geo. Blow and Col. FL. Robert
son. went down to the flag ship Cumberland,
in Hampton Roads under flag of truce, and
had an interview with Com. Pendergrast. j.
S. Garrison, Esq, Of Princess Anne, accompa-
MED the flag, with view to procure the rendi-
ton of the SIX negroes who disappeared from
his fishery few days ago and were known to
have been taken on board the steamship Quaker
CITY, one of the blockading fleet. We learn
that Com. P, readily consented to the appica-
ton, and the negroes were accordingly restored
to Mr. G. and brought up to the city.
TRYING PowDER.-Y Yesterday, as we learn, a
side wheel steamer off Craney Island fired a
shell at the fort which exploded but fell short

two or three other compliments passed. but

CHANCES OF Being KILLED IN WAR-Nar-
shall SAKE, high authority in Such things,
was in the habit of saying that to kill man
in battle; the mans weight in lead must he ex-
pended: 4 French medical and Surgical ga
zette, published at Lyons, says this fact was
verified at Solferino, even with the recent
great improvement in firearms The Aus
trans fired eight million four hundred rounds
The loss of the French and Italians was two
thousand killed and ten thousand wounded.
Each man hit cost seven bundled rounds, and
every man killed, cost four thousand two han
dred rounds. The main weight Of balls is one
ounce; thus we find that it is required on an
average two hundred and seventy-two pounds
of lead to kill man: Ii any of our friends
should get into a military fight, they should
feel great comfort in the fact that seven hun
dred shots may be fired at them before they
hit, and four thousand two hundred before
they shuttle eff the mortal coil
1t must be borne in mind by the reader. that
the above estimate is made from facts furnished
by battle in which the most skillful of the
world were engaged: The conflicts in which
our soldiers are about to engage, are entirely
different. They will be brought in contract
with lot OF inexperienced, half-famished hlro-
lings, not one in twenty of whom, the New
York Tribune, says has ever seen gun, except
through shop window. The chances Of be-
ing wounded will be about one in twenty-fiv We
