RALEIGH: FRIDAY. FEB. q, 1868.
The Latest News.


There is no war news to record and several weeks,
perhaps, will elapse before any thing stirring occurs
The telegraphic news is mostly re- hash from North
ern papers.
The Northern papers deny the charge Of demo-
raizaton in Hooker's army, yet active measures
have been taken to prevent the circulation of liberal
papers among the soldiers.
The ultras have trumped up charge against Gen.
Mcclellan, based upon his alleged dsrespect to Gen.
Scott This is done doubtless to prevent his recall
to his command.
, Senator Conway, of Kansas, who it is believed
represents the ultra abolitionists, has delivered
speech in the Senate IN which he declares his op-
position to a restoration of the Union, and boldly
advocates the recognition of the Confederate States
This is consistent. The ultras are for dissolution
if slavery be permitted to exist or universal imme
date emancipation and restoration Of the Union.
The Democrats of Connecticut have nominated
Hon. Thomas Fl. Seymour as their candidate for
Governor, and passed strong resolutions condemn
ing Lincolns policy and the conscripton.
1t is said that Ex President Pierce is actively en-
gagged to carry New Hampshire against the Lincoln
administration.
The Lincoln Congress has passed the bill estab-
fishing National Banking institution. The policy
meets with strong opposition and will doubtless be
ruinous to local Banking and the money holders of
TIE North.
The Yankees continue their preparations to get
around vicksburg if possible, if not to attack it
The canal they have cut on the opposite side OF the
river admitted small draft boats, and was expected
to .wn the river in heavy freshet
Tired of the deprrds:ions of the 4aiabama and
other Confederate war vessels, the Yankees are ht-
ting out three swift vessels powerfully armed to go in
pursut of them. Recently the Alabama has played
havoc among the Yankee shipping.
Butler, it is said, will return to Louisiana Banks
is preparing for an expedition. The sickness in
Grants army is appalling
The New York market was heavily depressed from
fears of French intervention and the issue OF large
amounts Of legal tender green backs. Id was sell
ling from 169 to 164.
The New York Times seems to apprehend that
the French Emperor has determined to open the
Southern ports at an early day. -,
The enemy shelled Vicksburg on the 25d, with
.he;r batteries on the levee the opposite side Of
the river.

Confederate Court at Richmond, has recently deci-
ded that by entering into the military service Of

try, which renders him liable to military duty
This decision, il enforced will secure to the service
hundreds of Marylanders and foreigners, who, har-
ing rotten taste of the war, have backed out in
order to make money by becoming substitutes, and
deserting or by other foul means.

PROCLAMATION.
The year that is drawing to it's close has
been filled with tho blessings Of fruitful fields
and healthful skies to these bo,,ntips, which
are so constantly enjoyed that VIZ ar" prone
to forget the source from which they come.
others have been added which are Of An en-
traordinary nature that they cannot fail to
penetrate and soften the heart which il Ia.
bitually insensibls to the ever watcllful prov
idsncs of Almighty God. In the midst Of
civil war Of unequaled magnitude and sewer.
iy. which has sometimes seemed to invite
aud provoke the aggression Of foreign States,
peace has been preserved with all nations
order has been maintained. the laws have
bssn respected and obeyed. and harmony has
prevailed everywhere except in the theatre
Of military conflict. while that theatre hae
been contracted by the advancing armies and
navies Of the Union. 49,
The needful diversion Of wealth and
strength from the fields Of peaceful industry
to the national defense has not arrested the
pillow, the shuttle or ship-ths axe has IN.
larged the borders Of our settlements. and
