NORTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS.
Vincent Colyer, whose schools at New
bern Gov. Stanley broke up, has been here
twenty-four hours, and had long inter
view with the President and Secretary of
War; to whom he told full history of af-
fairs at Newbern. It seems he had FIVE
thousand loyal blacks under his care be-
sides whites, whom he fed and schooled in
the capacity of Superintendent Of the
Poor. On the second day after stanleys
arrival he called to pay his respects.
The Governor Immediately said
blandly, "One thing in your control
had better be changed. The laws of
North Carolina forbid, under severe
penalties to teach blacks to read Com
plant has already been made, and must,
if appealed to, enforce the law. Better
close the schools quietly, and without
making fuss about it," The next day
came a slave master, Beray, with an order
for the recovery of slaves from Stanley.
One was taken in the absence of Colyer
from his premises He visited Stanley,
and learned that he had given permission
on the promise of Beray to take an oath of
allegiance. While away Beray paid
second visit A girl with group
of others on piazza, engaged
in making cartridges for soldiers,
saw him before he saw her, and ran and
found refuge in a neighbOring eorn-barn.
BE cracked his whip among the others,
but found her not Next morning at dawn
she took little bundle and went into the
woods, and SO every day, returning at
night to sleep. Greatest panic amongst
all loyal blacks; many took to flight, and
some few from fear of worse Voluntarily
returned to their master. Beray is a semi
rebel, to whom COlyer had several times
given provisions; the neighbors said he
was a miser and had plenty of his own in
the cellar After Stanley showed his hand,
rebels hitherto quietly living with closed
blinds rejoiced with open doors in pro-
slavery sunshine. Colyer was himself
threatened with death if the military was
away He told the President also of SOL
diers becoming abolitionists, and told him
of the kindly treatment by Burnside, who
refused to accept his resignation Of the
superintendeney of the poor, but gave him
leave of absence for ten days. Heexpress-
ed the hope that the schools would soon be
re-opened, and the belief that the war
would end slavery.
The President apparently was much in
terested, and spoke warmly against the
reinstatement of fugitives seeking pro
lection within our lines. He said Stanley
had received no instructions warranting
his proceedings, and promised at the ear
lest moment to tell him so. 1t is under
stood the missive has gone, and is prOba-
bly strong indirect hint rather than di-
rect co1ntermanding of orders or removal.
Mr.. Colyer has little doubt he'll resign,
and it is hoped 50 generally here, if he
can't be decapitated.
COUNCIL OF WAR.
Gen. Mcdowell is here, present at a long
session Of council of war
Official advices from North Carolina fail
to confirm the reports of returning loyalty
in letters thence. Burnside feels himself
pressed by the foe Rowan, commander of
the Hotilla, writes that but one loyal man,
the Mayor in Edonton, was to be found
the rest are either actively or passively
hostile. Rowan has not, as stated, return
I slaves unwilling to go. He has received
-uotiOns from Secretary Welles forbid
i.9 n sreturn of any slaves against theil
LII -, . discharge any enlisted in th'
naval service.
lnERs3NAL.
Gen. John Cook Cells, has been aSs'gn
ed the command of brigade of FIVE II.
ments, including the New York sixty-nintb
now going into camp at Clouds Mills. He
arrived with Assistant Adjutant General
Capt Benjamin F. Smith, last night.
Col. J. Buchanan Cross, confined here
as State prisoner two days ago
is under peculiar circumstances. Beingin
prison for forgery, he forged letters from
Assistant Secretary Watson to Gov. Cur
tin and Marshal Milward by which he Sc
cured his pardon, but being taken to Wash
ington, the fraud was discovered, and
Cross held by Gen. WadswOrth until his
pardon was revoked.

Hooper, the old delegate, and Cannon,
an agent in Europe, claiming seats as
Senator's from Utah have arrived, and say
the population of the wOuld-be State is IOO,-
900 and rapidly increasing.
