Course of Gov. Clark of N. &.

NEW YORK., May l9.--News from North Caro-
lima states that Gov. Clark has refused to fur
nish any more troops to JEFF. Davis, and has
recalled all the North Carolina soldiers now
in the rebel army.
North Carolina has held a convention of its
citizens, and pronounced against giving futher
aid to the rebellion, thus virtually returning to
the Union.
On reply to the demand of Jeff. Davis for ad-
ditional troops and means of transportation for
bis army to and through the cotton States, Gov.
Clark said that Davis had received all the aid
from North Carolina, that he could expect, and
that hereafter no more troops would be permit
ted to leave the State, and has ordered all the
North Carolina State troops home.
Cove Clarke also informed the rebels that they
could use the Railroads in retreating homewards
and that they would run their own risk of being
intercepted by Union force at any part of the
State. -ia

The Great Fire in Troy

The most exaggerated reports having been sent
abroad from Troy on Saturday while the fire was
raging, The Troy Wig states the fact in bEief as
follows:
First. Considering the extent of the coufagra-
ton, the business portion of the city most sim
gularly exempt from harm. As to ''the principal
portion of the town" being destroyed or ''one-
third Of it, we assert that not twentieth of the
business portion has been at all disturbed.
Second. The fire occurred in the most enterpriS-
ing and wealthy portion of the city and the losses
though immense in the aggregate, are distributed
among large numbers OF well to do and forehand
ed people. The portion of the town destroyed is
desirable in all respects for residences and bus
mess, that it Will command immediate rebuilding.
Many of the losses will be relieved at once by the
insurance companies. Third. However much
our citizens have suffered in individual Losses of
houses and furniture, and small number of mer-
chants and manufacturers in their business con
Germs, we assure our friends abroad that nothing
has occurred to damage the general trade and
manufacturing interests of the town. There is
not the sghtes tnclnoton ANY where to "say die .
or to lie down under the disaster.

The OmseStead Inv.

The Homestead law which has passed both
Houses of Congress, is perhaps one of the most
important measures for the poor and industri.
Gus laboring classes, which has been enacted
for many years. 1t will invite to this country
many thousands of industrious people, who will
develop the agricultural resources Of our vast
tracts of unsettled lands, and thus add msteri
al and substantial wealth to the country. In
stead of crowding into cities, and gaining only
precarious existence from the wages of day
labor, they will settle on farms where they may
acquire the substantial and permanent comfort
of life.
Hon. JOIN f. PoTTER, the faithful repre-
sentative from this Congressional district, is
the author of the Homestead bill introduced at
this session, and which has just been passed
He has been interchangeable in his efforts to bring
this great measure for the good of humanit y,
to successful consummation The Natio nal
Republican, published at Washington, after
complimenting Hon. Mr. Potter for his success
full endeavors,speaks of the measure as follows:
This splendid achievement cannot be over
estimated. No measure has passed Congress
In ten yerrs, or twenty, that carries on its shout
ders such sheaves of wealth as this does. 1t is
a stately advance-step in this sluggish world,
and as we follow it for fifty future years, its
promise reaches to the Pacific and fills zone
of earth with the new music of summer toll,
and the new beauty and fragrance of summer
fields. And not merely those future dwellers
but all the people of the nation to-day, will
turn in gratitude TO the men who have made
this bill a law ..u .s-zee. -as-
