NrwsFRS, N. c., January 27.-In speaking of
the growing disconient among the people Of vii
mingtor ". O. and their desire to hold State
Convention, we cav most sincerely that the
movements evidently set on foot in North Caro-
lima, are ominous of graver consequences than
even the advance of the enemy.
The Raleigh Standard, in its appeals to slave
holders for peace. says
We went 10 war TO protect the State sovereign
ties, to defend and perpetuate the institutions of
slavery, but if il should appear that we are likely
to lose both, as rational beings we should pause
and consider we'll the direction which we are
taking.
IL the war should continue longer with no
greater success to our arms, there is great dan
ger that the institution OF slavery will be hope
lessly DESTROYED.
Gov Vance, of North Carolina, comes out in
a card in the Raleigh Standard against the taxa
ton of State property for the CInfederacy.
The North Carolina and Virginia paper are
firm in the belief that Wilmington is soon 10 be
attacked, and have much to say about the con
centration of forces here. which are magnifed
into very large numbers
DR.. j I. Leach, the conservative member
elect i'm the new Confederate Congress, which
meets in February, says in the Raleigh Standard
OF the 18th inst:
North Carolina now claims the fulflment of
the compact or the right TO depart from the Con.
iederacy in peace.
A. great meeting held in Johnstown, favor
ing a call for State Convention, DR.. j I.
Leach was Chairman of the Committee on Reso-
lutions.
Meetings are being held in different counties
having the same object.
The Raleigh State Journal says:
The proposition for State Convention so close
on the heels of Lincolns proclamation to let one
tenth of the people form State Government,
has very strong odor OF disloyalty and treason
about il.
The Henderson, N. C., Times is delighted
over the reported retirement OF Gen. Butler aud
by the establishing of Department of North
Carolina which the Times says removes the
most serious obstacle to the return of North
Carolina TO the Union
! The Raleigh State Journal says;
Our exchanges from all quarters of the Con-
/ federaey admonish us that ali advance by Beast

Weldon Railroad is probable.
