THE FEELING IN NORM CAROLINA.
The Raleigh North Carolina Progress
says:
The present Congress is bent on fasten-
ing = military despotism on the people Of
the Confederate States. and the people
must either submit quietly to receive the
yoke, or resist the tyranny. Resistance
to tyrants is obedience to God, and the
people of North Carolina will not hesitate
as to the course they should pursue. Pass
the bill to enroll the white population, re-
ported in the House by the Military Com
mittee, yesterday. and = spontaneous cry
will come up from every nook and corner
Of North Carolina for Convention, and
unless the military gag the last man 10
the State, including the Governor, the
Legislature and other State officers, they
will have it.

In the course Of our reading We rem
ember to have met with few cases where
at the moment of death, vision of the
dead has appeared to friends at great
distance from the place Of death, as if to
give notice Of the event, but these instan-
ces were in Europe, and occurred long
time ago, SO one might doubt their au-
thenticity, or a, least be excused for not
accepting them as verities. and all the
more since. nothing of the kind was ever
heard of in his own region. We have
now case which 10 free from these OBJ
jections, and is quite As extraordinary as
any that have yet been recorded. A
friend, Whose name We do not now give,
simply because We did not happen to ask
his authority for publication) recently
called upon US, who has lost son in the
army, an officer of good promise, serving
under Gen Banks. We alluded 10 the
great loss Of our friend, and in converse
lion upon that subject he said very re-
markable thing happened in connection
with it. When he had no reason to
doubt the well being of bis son, and had
no anxiety for him beyond what Was usu-
al, and was sleeping calmly. be was sud-
denly aroused from his slumbers BY a
shock as if be had been shot through the
head. His first thought was that he had
been shot. or, to use his own expression,
"this is DEATH"
But the next instant vision of his son
appeared to him, and the impression vas
that his son, and not himself, was killed.
He had never believed in ghosts or spir-
itual manifestations nor did he at the &C
currence Of the vision, nor does he now,
undertake to account for it, or call it q
spiritual manifestation. He did not re-
cord the date or hour, bat be did in the
morning relate the circumstances to two
or three of his friends. They did not re-
cord the date, but when, about three
weeks aftsrward, intelligence was reeeiv-
ed of the death of his son BY q shot
through the head At Port Hudson, At six
o'clock in the morning, the recollection
OF one of them was that the vision and
death we're on the same day, or the next
day after the death OF the con. Such
was the account given Us, and We have
no doubt of its truth. Our friend would
not trifle on q matter, which to him was
not only the solemnity OF the grave, but
also touches his kcenest sffections.-

From The Shennndoah valley.

Nav York, Nov. 5.--Ths Hersld's
dispatches from lhe Shenandoah Valley
say that Gen. Sberidan's cavalry had
another very brilliant and successful en-
gagement with Early's army. % tg4-
day last. three divisions Of Union csvai-
ry, in the Valley, under commend Of
Gustav, Powell and Devin, commenced
movement for the purpose of ascertain
ing the rebel position and strength.
Devin marched up the Luray Valley
and the TWO other divisions pushed up
the Shenandoah Valley, driving before
them small parties of rebels. No resist.
ance of Importance was met with until
Tuesday, when the main infantry army,
consisting of about $4,000 men, and
division Of Cavalry were found at Rood's
Hill, position almost as strong as Fish
er's Hill.
Fighting Immediately commenced. and
was continued for six hours, which YVES,
during the greater part of the time,
quite severe,
Early made repeated attempts to flank
Custer and Powell, in all of which he
failed. Some magnificent charges were
made by the Union cavalry. The rebels
showed but little spirit during the en-.
gagement
After gaining sufficient information of
Ealy's strength. objects and position,
the National forces commenced 10 retire.
Some feeble attempts to follow and an
noy were made, but without success 10
the enemy, and Cussr and Powell re-
turned down the Valley with their COM
mand in safety, having lost in killed,
wounded and missing, only about sixty
mon.
The dispatches furnish confirmation
flbc report that some of Early's men
have been Withdrawn from the Valley,
but these, the rebels say, have been re-.
placed by scattered attachments from
various sections.
EarIy's headquarters are between
Tim6erYilIe and New Market, and that
his army is stretched across the Shenan-
doah Valley on that line, with its right
resting in Lnrav Valley, and both 0luks
well covered with cavalry.
His situation is said to be wdl suited
for the ob'ervaocc Of any movements by
the Unioa forces, as well as for receiving
supplies, which he is now gathering
from the numerous small valleys Of
Western Virginia, Nearly oil the Eor.
