ing, etc.

At an informal meeting of gentlemen be
longing to the Southern Rights Party OF Craven

it was resolved to hold Mass Meeting for this
Congressional District, at NcAvbcrn, on Thurs
day and Friday, April 25th and Goth, at which
time and place the Southern Rights men Of
every county in the District arc invited to as
semble with the people of Craven for the pur-
pose of consulting together as to the duty OF
North Carolina in the present deplora5le con-
diton of our national affairs.
There is no party in this matter, but the
people, the friends of the South, everywhere
throughout Ghe District, are urged to assemble
with us and give us the beffefit of their coun-
sci, believing as We do that the time rapidly
approaches when we snail be forced as a State
to declare in favor of either a Northern or q
Southern Government
The county meeting called for the 4th Of
April, next Thursday -.i1ght, is for the pur-
pose of making suitable arrangements for the
Mass Meeting which it is proposed to hold for

this connection we are reminded Of the adver-

THE COTTON CROP.-It has now become' a
fixed fact, says the Charleston Mercury, that the
cotton crop of 1S60-61 will be nearly million
bales short, and that all the additions that may
be made by the influence of the Bears to the re.
ceipts, cannot carry up the crop to four millions
of bales Galveston acknowledges that she will
be $4,000 bales short; Montgomery 10000 bales
Columbus 10000 bales. The total deficiency at
the seaports, including the overland cotton from
Memphis. which is now put into the New Orleans
receipts viii, it is said. increase the deficiency.
Prices have advanced since these facts have
been known. and it is said that many very
lengthy and apologetic letters have been written
here by shrewd Euyopeon houses abroad, ac-
knowledging that they have been in error in es-
timating the crop, and imputing the blame to the
political state of affairs amongst the Cotton
States.

ADOPTING THE CosTITUTIoN.-The Charles
ton Courier says:
Three States-Alabama, Georgia and Lou
isiana-have approved, accepted, and adopted
the Confederate Constitution.
The Mississippi Convention will meet on
Monday and the South Carolina Convention
on Tuesday next; but there is one obstacle
against the immediate adoption, OF even con-
sideration of the Constitution. The States
that have acted on the Constitution have
been sovereign in possession over all territory
and local defences South Carolina cannot
act worthily or honorably as a State until her
flag has been placed over Fort Sumter.

with respect and thoughtfulness, and as
] read the beautiful ntterance with which
it closed, every eye was dimmed with
tears, and q man almost losing that

necessary here, exclaimed, "God bless

yesterday-in fact this very morning

War Oftbe Confederate States agAinS
the Border states.

South Carolina having failed toscoerce
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee into
following the Palmetto banner, now
threatens that those States shall be the
first "to smell Southern powder and
taste Southern STEEL in the victorious
march Of jeff Davis on his way to con-
qucr and annex the Continent. The
Charleston Courier thus expresses it
"The Border States, whose position
is almost necessarily decided by Vir-
yinia, have lost the opportunity Of de-
Gliding tbs issue Of Union or Di>nnion.
It is now too late tor them to discuss
that question, Which is decided for Dis
union by the inexorable logic Of events.
They have almost lost, or will soon
lose the glorious mediatorial privilege
Of deciding whether Disnnion shall! be
~peaccablc OF forceful. They will soon
lose the opportunity of cxerting any in
huence in the question beyond the poor
privilege of furnishing the battlefield
and foraging for opposing armies. and
Of being pressed in reluctant seryiceand
action by the prevailing force for the
time being.
ono army Of hircling myrmidons can
or shall ever reach a Southern State, il
determination and rcsolutc anticipation
can prevent it by carrying the war be-
yond our borders. Such a movement
would be strictly defensive, according
to al rules Of war, after war has been
forced upon us"
