From North Carolina.
NEwBERN, March

Everything is in readiness for the rscep-
ton of the enemy in North Carolina, whose
mysterious movements are difficult to I'm
derstand.
A conscript deserter who came in the
Union lines at Washington, and joined the
Second North Carolina volunteers, heard
his officers say that Plymouth was to be
the first point Of attack.
Refugees from the interior bring the ill.,
telligence OF the rebels garrisonlng the
whole State of North Cai DINA with troops
at all the prominent points, for the purpose
of checking the convention movement and
keeping the people 10 subsection.
A kinston correspondent Ut the Raleigh
Confederate, in speaking of the hanging on
the 9th inst, in Kinston, of the twenty
three captured soldiers belonging to Colo
mel Charles Henry Fosters command, as
deserters from the rebel CONSUMPTION, says:
The prisoners were accompanied to the
place Of execution by large concoarse Of
people and strong military escort They
ascended the scaffold with a firm and elias
tic step, and met their fate with unflinch-
ing fortitude and determination. They
asked lot no quarter, anu scornlully spurn
ed all overtures of concession on condition
Of returning to duty in the confederate
service. Alter making their peace with
their God, they fearlessly proclaimed their
readiness to die for their country, against
which they said, they had been forcibly
conscrlpted to fight. A more sublime ex-
hibition of loyalty to the old flag was never
witnessed. The multitude were moved to
tears, and openly denounced this cruel mas
sacre, which is causing assertions from the
confederate service BY the wholesale and
creating an indignation which it is feared
will be uncomfortable.

Potomac. 1t seems continuation of the
Mcclellan fatality. The public is not yet
sufficiently advised of the character OF the
accusations to form any Judgment upon
them. If the statement that General
Meade ordered the army to fall back at Get
tysburg shall turn out to be, as it has been
explained, though not automatically, that
before he came upon thelpositi0nlthat How
ard had taken, and before he ascerta'ned the
situation, General Meade ordered the ad-
vance corps to fall back to position he
had previously selected for the engagement.
il will amount to nothing.
fit shall turn out that after the trst
days battle he ordered a retreat, which
was prevented by circumstances. it was an
error of judgment that another fortune OF
the second days fight might have made high
military wisdom; and it is rather late to
revive it now.

Mr. ChaSe's Letter Of declina-
ton.

ASH1NCTON. Marcn D.
MY DEAR Sir: In reply to friendly let
ter from you, wrote you briefly, not long
ago, about the wishes expressed by many
that my name might be favorably regarded
by the people in their next choice Of a
President, and closed by saying that should
our friends in Ohio manifest preference fer
another l should accept their decision with
the ready acquiescence due from one who
has been already trusted and honored by
them beyond merit or expectation.
The recent action oil the Union memb ers
of our Legislature indicated such prefer
ence. 1t becomes my duty, therefore-and
/ count it more privilege than duty-to
ask that no further consideration be given
to my name.
1t was never more important than now
that all our efforts and all our energies
should be devoted to the suppression of the
rebellion and to the restoration of order and
prosperity, on soli1 and sure foundations of
union, freedom and impartial justice; and
earnestly urge all with whom my counsels
may have weight to allow nothing to di >
vide them while this great work, in compar
ison with which persons, and even parties
are nothing, remains unaccomplished
Cordially your friend,
s. P. Chase
Hon. James c. Hall, Senate Chamber, Co
lumbus, Ohio.

A Union soldier, who recently escaped
from the Goldsboro prison, informs Gem
Peck, that great riot occurred at Raleigh
ON the occasion of hanging the native Union
soldiers at Kinston, and that General Pick
cts troops, from that place, passed through
Goldsboro with all possible dispatch, to quell
the outbreak in that city, where the stars
and stripes were cnnspiciuously displayed,
and that much violence and excitement pre-
vailed. The press was not allowed to speak
of this matter. The Raleigh &dndard, was
suppressed soon after this affair.
It is reported that the rebels intend
hanging the entire number of Union soldiers
captured by them from Col. Fosters COM
msnd, fifty one in number half of whom
have never been in the rebel service. Ira
Neal, drummer boy, fifteen years old who
had never been in the rebel service, was
among the number hung at Kinston on the
18th. The "native Union troops have de-
cided to take the question Of retaliation
into their own hands. They have given such
of their officers who did not approve Of Sc
we're measures, an opportunity to resign, and
have also given nwarning that Immediate
ueatn, VIII ue lunlCteu uPon any o|ei '"
offers hereafter to surrender to the enemy
or ask for any quarter.
The deser,ers from the rebel consumption
and those who have been in the rebel service
take the ground that, after accepting OF Pre-
sdent Lincoln's amnesty proclamation, they
become citizens of the United States, to
which government military service is Justly
due from them, which they have no desire
to withhold, but demand it as their right to
be sworn into the service.
Being deserters, they expect to be hung
if caught by the enemy; hence their enlist
ing into the United States service will not
increase their danger. As for repairing to
Fortress Monroe for the purpose of being
sent North, and being thus expatriated they
will not submit to it. ts s,.s

The Raid on General Meade.

Some few of the leading Republican jour
mails have the good sense to discountenance
the efforts made to remove General Meade
from the command Of the Army Of the Pc,
tomac. The Times has opposed it, and the
two Republican journals of Cincinnati take
strong ground against 50 unjust and dan
gsrous step. Says the Commercial of that
city:
There is every SYMPTOM of raid on Gen
eral Meade. The congressional Committee
on the Conduct OF the War is meddling and
muddling again. General Daniel Sickles
has given important testimony. And peo-
pie are shocked at story that Meade at
one time contemplated retreating from Get
tysburg. II ,rould become the congressional
Committee on the Conduct of the Var to be
modest. The record does not show that con
gressional committees have been charged
BILE With remarkable sagscity during the
war. 1t would become General Daniel
Sickles to be as quiet a. possible about the
battle OF Gettysburg. He was the man who
by direct disobedience Of orders, or a
reckless disregard of them, exposed his
corps to the assault Of superior numbers
and was defeated, and came near caus NO
the overthrow of the whole army.
1t is Infamous that the general who
is at least entitled to credit for good man
agement at the battle of Getty sburg should
be dragged before committee of civilians.
who are good deal more distinguished for
political prejudices than any sort of infor-
nation, and badgered by them.
This is pretty good for Republican Jour.
nal. The Gasett., of the same city, also Re,
publican, says:

We have received copy of new paper

neat typographical appearance and gives

Committee have had under consideration
for some days the question of increasing
the pay of soldiers. They have nearly ma
tured the bill, and it will Ak the rate o.
advance about Is follows Privates, $ls;

By the committee to be full and ample, and
as large an increase as the government can
afford to pay. Some Of the committee are
in favor of reducing the pay of commits
stoned and non-commissioned officers, ana
thereby increasing the pay of soldiers.
