THE FEELING NORTH CARoLINA.-The Raleigh
Register, heretofore a strong Union paper, in its
last issue says:
Let the Legislature of North Carolina be re-
called, and rec called at once. There is no time
for doubt or hesitation now. If the influence of
North Carolina as State in this awful crisis is to
be felt, it can be secured only by prompt action.
II Lincoln raises an army to subdue the Southern
CCntederacy, he will make acquisitions for men
upon slI the States recognizing the authority of
the Federal Government and it is for North Caro-
lima to say if her citizens shall be forced into an
army raised for the purpose of subduing her South
ern brethren, and hanging those who may be cap
tured as traitors. We say again then, and for the
third time, let Governor Ellis recall the Legislature
at once.
P. S.-Since 10 o'clock Monday morning we
have been requested to state that Governor Ellis
has called a meeting of the Council of State to take
place in this city Tuesday, the 23d inst. Of
what will be the advice Of this Council and the
action OF the Executive, we do not permit
selves to doubt.

of February ID that the Earl of Elgin has issued
| notification that the English minister plenlpoten-
| tiary, Mr.. Bruce, and the Price 0i hung have
concluded an arrangement for opening to British
trade at the earliest practicable period two ports

mage dues and duties will be payable at Shanghae
or Chn-Kiang, and traffic in arms and ammunition

anxousy expected orders for marching. 1t is said
| by the members that if they are called upon they
will turn out 500 men now belonging to the regI-
ment and will be able to enroll as many volunteers
| as they can supply with uniforms. Indeed, the
! armory was beset all day yesterday by persons who
| desired to become members of the regiment and
many doubt will be accepted, till every company
is full.
