A PRIVATE letter received in Washing.
ton from staunch Unionist in Raleigh says
the feeling in North Carolina against the
tyranny Of the Richmond oligarcy was ia
tense. Peace meetings arc frequent in tho
eastern and southern section Of the State;
and Union nen who hayo heretofore been
silent are becoming bold and persistent in
their demand for peace. What the State
desires Is peace first and negotiations after
ward. 1t is1expected that Governor Vance's
next message to the State Legislature
will widen the breach between the State
AMI the Richmond Government. Governor
psnee's friends say lie will recall all the
North Carolina troops serving in the robel
army Tile position assumed by the Raj
eigh Standard in favor of peace meets will.
