NORTH CAROLINA

A year or so ego, we employed an intelli-
gent and capable North Carolinian to traverse
his State aud transmit us accounts that might
be trusted of events occurring and sentiments
developed there In due season, We received
sundry letters from him. giving circumstantal
and cheering accounts of the performance of
Unionism in several important localities. These
letters We printed in undoubting faith; yet it
atterward transpired that they were worthless.
Most of them were not even written at tho
points whence they were dated, and much that
they contained Of interest owed its existence to
the inventive genius Of the scoundrel who wrote
them. Since the detection of his deceit, wo have
regarded with diSJust the accounts from time
TO time received of Union developments in the
old North State.
Yet it is certain that North Carolina clung
steadiastly to the Union after most Of her
slayeholding sisters had fallen away Her Dem.
ocratic Governor, john w. Ellis, was an org-
nal and violent Secessionist and her Democratic
Legislature Of loGO-Gl, acted under his inspira-
ton throughout. Governor and Legislature
united in ordering the election Of n Constitu-
tlonal Convention on tho 2eth of February,
1861, with intent that she should follow the
Cotton States into the abyss of Secession; but
the People blocked their game. They not only
elected "a Quiop to &c Secession delegates to

The European news published yesterday
includes letter from the Paris Correspondent
Of The hder, "the new organ OIL tho Conied-
crates" in London. 1t purports to recite the
objects of NJ. Mercicr's recent visit to Rich
mond in manner entirely calculated to Afford

dispatch from Washington, made apparently
on authority, assures us that NJ. Merclers visit to
Richmond was of an entirely unofficial character,
and that both the President and Secretary OF
State were made aware Of its purpose and result
Assuming this TO be tlue-and it accords with the
declarations of the Imperial organs at Parls-i'
does not strip that visit entirely of significance.
An act of the Emperor of France need not be
official TO be important; it is not likely that
his Minister TO the United States would visit
the Rebel capital without being quite sure that
it would be agreeable to bis master; nor
wonld he be likely to Immediately afterward
send homo his Secretary of Legation unless he
had something to communicate which he had
good reason TO suppose would influence the
policy of the Emperor. Among the other emf
nent qualities of Louis Napoleon is the faculty
aud habit of keeping his own counsel, and his
unofficial may be quite as important to us as
his official diplomacy.

that Convention, but they voted simultaneously
that it should never meet, as if in prophetic
dread of fantastic tricks like those enacted by
the Union Convention of Virginia. The vote
BY which tho Convention was forbidden to meet

These Counties choose IS Delegates more
than fourth of tho entire Convention. The
Union majority, as evinced by this election.
must have ranged between 10000 and 2O,OO0.
1t is significant of the essentially partisan
character of the Secession movement that most
of the old Democratic stroDghOlds, especially
in the tar and turpentine region, went almost
solid for Secession, while the Wing Gibraltars
of other days were nearly all Overwhelmingly
