North Carolina.

The secessionists have hard tine Of it
in old North Carolina. Their small pox
takes but slowly. Large Union meetings
have been held throughout the State, and
very sensible resolutions adopted. A
meeting attended By about a thonsand
votsrs, was held in Randolph Co., on the
28lh December. and they resolved that it
would be unwise and suicidal for the
State to 90 out Of the Union for any cause
now existing. We have reports Of many
other Union meetings. at which the I'm
ION spirit seemed to prevail-that is, there
are no demands for additional guarantees
accompanied with threats Of dissolution.
There was Union demo hstration al Rob-
ison county, Oh the border Of South
Carolina, on January lat. They resolY-
ed:
"That while there is no excuse for the
separate action Of such State, which, be-
ing unconstitutional. is void, tic General
Government Of tie Uniied States, as such,
has neUer committed an aggression upon
our rights, either as North Carolinians or
as Southerners." And, "That no sutfi-
cient cause now exists for dissO!ving our
relations with the Government ofthe Uni
ted States"
They also resolve. at.
"IRat Fort Moultris and Castle Pinck-
neg belong TO The United STATES and not 70
South Carolina, and no action Of a mob OF
election Of a flag can d:Uest the hHe to the
sumo"
We incline to the opinion thst North
Carolina will in due time be discovered tc
be sound on tho Union question.

Lord John RuSSeII'S Elevation to

The London Times, of July II.
referring to the Intended elevation of
Lord John Russell to the House OF
Peers, remarks:
For the last five and forty years
the name OF Lord John Russell has
been connected with every species of
political vicissitude-now with the
most complete success, now with the
most complete failure, with the for
nation of one government and the
solution of another with Catholic
emancipation, with the reform bill,
with municipal reform, with the corn
laws-;n fact, with every stirring
and every important measure of the
times in which we live. On all
these subjects Lord John Russell
has played no inconsiderablc part,
and it cannot seem unreasonable that
in the fiuiiness of years and honors
the statesman of such long and v,iri-
ed experience should seek for repose
in that haIeyon region where sup
ply is unknown, where the dinner
hour is the most sacred institution,

Richmond correspondent OF Tia" Cou-

18TH. writes as follows III reference To
this subject:
Dispatches Of the most favorable
character have been received from our
commissioners in England and france,
and ! am rssurcd by one in authority
that our interests in that quarter are
progressing beyond the most sanguine
expectations-slowly. cautiously and
with that almost prophetic foresight
which England always manifests to
her foreign relations, She is prepar-
ing for the emergency which the next
six months will surely present. Her
citizens, both here and AT the north,
are ardent sccessionists; her minis
ters and representatives, sympathise
with us in our canse. and not only is
their influence beginning to tell upon
the leading journals OF the country,
but the private correspondence re
ceived indicates that the great heart
of the British people is throbhing in
union with our own. The message of
the $50 called President of the Uni
ted States viii only add to the flame.
Its lack of craftsmanship and hut
mani'y, its fierce temper and dsrc-
gard Of all legal and constitutional
obligations, and the spirit of tyran-
ny which breathcs in every line, will
open to the understanding of the ma
tions of Europe the real issue of the
