NORTH CARoLINA.-The contest in North
Carolina between the Upionists and Seces-
sionists grows exciting. Newbern letter
says:
The rebel newspapers in this State and
Virginia clamor loudly for the suppress
sion of the Raleigh Standard, the official
paper of the State, which bids defiance to
jeff Davis and all the destructives in the
Southern Confederacy. Its circulation is
larger that that of any other journal in
the South, and is rapidly increasing, which
together with the Endorsement ofits course
by public meetings IN different parts of the
State, indicates conclusively that it but
expresses the wishes Of the people Of N orth
Carolina. Its columns are open to the
ablest writer's in the State, and their states
manlike articles against secession are un>
answerable. Its editor, Hon. W. w. uol-

Raleigh State Journal short time since,

LEES ARMY REPORTED TO BE MASSED AT
THE UNITED STATES FORD.

We learn that there were indications on
Wednesday night that Lee was massing forces
at United States Ford, on the Rappahannock,
apparently either to attempt crossing there
or to make feint for crossing elsewhere.
It would not be proper for as to intimate
what preparations Hooker has made to meet
the enemy should they undertake to pay his
side of the river q visit; but it is safe to say
that Lee will find the attempt hazardous one,
and that he will not be permitted to return with
impunity when once across.
The rebels have some facilities for crossing
inst now in the very low stage of the water in
the Rappahannock, which can be crossed
almost dry shod at numerous points; but other
wise than this they find "Jordan SO hard a
road to travel" in their proposed invasion
project las is evidenced by their fiuctuating
plans and movements) that Lee has, it is be-
lieved, advised the abandonment Of the project;
and if he undertakes 1t, will do SO against his
judgment, by force of the "On to Washington"
pressure, which seems at the South to be a
counterpart of the famous "On to Richmond"
cry which prevailed with us at one time with
such disastrous results.
