NORTH CAROLINA.

Meetings have been held in certain coun.
ties of North Carolina, ssinfavo of peace, :"
as who is not, if an honorable one can be
conquered. But it seems to US that those
who composed such assemblages have been
Influenced to action more by the conscrip-
ton act than any probability of concession
on the part of the Lincoln government
They talk. of bad treatment received from
the Confederate government, and great fuss
is made over the appoiptmeutof Major
Bradford as "tithing AGENT" he not being
native of the State; now this appoint
ment was Immediately aunulled when as
certained to be unsatisfactory, and another
appointed which the leading demagogue
press thinks satisfactory, but the "hounds
keep up the cry" though the scent is lost
Now, We would ask. who composed these
peace meetings. were they men who had
been battling for thecause orthose who have
been skulking in their homes, and now fear
of being rooted out of their rat holes--we
shall see. Gov. Vance continues to viudi-
cate the time.honored, and we'll sustained

North Carolina soldiers in Northern Virgin

and. orga uized; Col. Bryant Grimes, CHAIR
man, with nine Secretaries, and a commit.
tee of arrangements Of nine. The resolu-
tions were one for each brigade-Col. Gar
rett Chairman of the. Committee on Reso-
lutions. They adopted unanimously reso-
luton pledgiug the loyalty of the North
Carolina army to the Confederacy, and say
they are confident Gov. Vance will sustain
the good cause. Colonels Garrett, Jones,
Cox and Grimes were appointed commit
tee to write an address to the people Of that
State. The Convention was enthusiastic
and unanimous
When all our fighting men are in the
field, ,oe would deem the time uupropitious
to let off so much spank as has issued from
the non combatauts of Surry, as follows:
"Resolrcd, That in view of the treatment

heaped upon her, VIC deem it the duty OF
all North Caroliuians to demand their dis
continuance, or we shall, in selfdefence, be
com PEELED to take position where We can
take care of ourselves; and We call upon
the people to hold meetings in their res-
pectiye counties, and declare whether they
shall be ,freemen or. slaves" -
TO those who would asperse the North
State, we point with pride to the many bat

her sons, to their gallant defeuces ofour

history Of her post-and with abiding faith
in the glorious future that awaits her.

Spy TO BE SHoT.-A letter. from Fort
Gaines, in Mobile harbor, dated the 9th
instant, gives an account of the sentence of
death having been passed upon spy. He
is Captain of the 23d New York regiment,
came through our lines at Richmond, and
has been spying ever since. He has visited
Charleston, Savannah, Chattanooga and
Atlanta, as also nearly every prominent
point in the Confederacy. His last visit
was to Mobile, where his money gave out,
and he then endeaYored to procure a posi-.
ton as substitute in one of the companies
stationed at Fort Gaines, but the Colonel
refused to accept him, not believing him
above the conscription age. lie then went
over to Fort Morgan, where lie was taken
as substitute; about two weeks after, he
left his post and started for the Yarkees.-
Pursuit. was Immediately made, and our
men succeeded iu catching him about six
miles from the fort. Upon his person was
found a plan of Forts Gaines and Morgan,
giving the strength of the forts and the
number and size of the guns. He was court
martialed and sentenced to death. The
sentence has been approved by the Presi-
dent, and he will be shot on the 28th in
stant After his capture, he confessed be-
ing spy, and gave the number of his regi
ment. The fact of this man being able to
go at large for the length Of time he' evil
dently was, admonishes US to be careful of
all strangers who may come into our lines.
If proper vigilance was secured, dozens of
spies would be detected giving all the in
formation that leads to our reverses.

pS A correspondent of the Memphis
appeal, writing from Morton, says that
accounts from the West of the Mississippi
are very favorable. Kirby Smith is regar-
ded as o very proper man for the command.
They have confidence over there that they
can carry on this fight alone, and are deter
mined to do so, if necessary Extensive
arrangements are being made. to supply
themselves with implements and munitions
of war to any desired extent, either by
home manufacture, by Legitimate importa'
ton through Mexico, or by smuggling
through the New Mexican lines. Crops
are represented as being unprecedented
in yield-some bottom lands promising
eighty bushels to the acre. Stock hogs are
plenty, and well taken care of by the far
mers, who are feeding carefully, and with
view Of avoiding hog cholera. The lbe-
ria salt works have been in our possession
for two months, and have been worked to
the best advantage. Beef cattle are album
daut and in good condition. Take it all
in all, the Trans Mississippi department
can take care of itself, and will possibly
sweep the Aboltionists out of Missouri be-
fore we of the Middle Department do as
much for Kentucky. 1t is gratifying to
know that there are no submissionists there.
Like Tennesseeans, some of them have
tasted the sweets of Yankee rule, and will
have no more oft.

JUST 46-The Charleston Mercury says
it was remarked, when the call was made
for conscripts up to the age of 40, that
there was very large number of persons
just Al; many Of these, strange to say,
spruce and handsome bachelors and wido-
wers, whom nobody would have dared few
months before, to call over 80. Now that
the call is extended to 45. there are many
who rejoice in the ripening aspect of grizzly
hair, and have just turned 46! At this
rate old age will soon overtake this class Of
our population.

OF hosecrans disions are reported not to
have behaved very well. 1t is believed Rose.
Grams will be put in position to enable him
to resume the offensive. Mean while he is
thought to be strong enough to hold his
