THIRD DIsPATCH.1
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23.-The Convention

OUR VETERANS.

We hear that ont of thirty thousand veterans
Of our Army Of the Potomac whose terms OF
service expire within the next nine months, at
least twenty five thousand have already re-
enlisted, with fair prospect that nearly all
the balance will do SO before the periods for
their discharge under their present enlistments
shall arrive.
We further learn that Of the six thou sand
veterans Of this same army who have OF late
gone home on furlough, five thousand i've hum
dred have already returned to dutys their fur
loughs having expired. There is no reason to
doubt that the balance will be quite as prompt
TO return as theirs expire.
We mention these facts as illustrative of the
capital spirit-tone-that animates the veterans
OF the armies of the Union in view of the work
IN hand for the now so rapidly approaching
spring campaign.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

The Raleigh IN. CD Progress, Of February
and S, contains some matters of interest rela.
tive TO affairs in North Carolina.
Call For a State Convention.
A "very large and respectable meeting Of the
citizens Of g uilfoTd county, was held in the
courthouse in Greensboro on the Both of Jan
uary, at which a series of resolutions was
adopted, declaring that the liberties of the cii-
zens were in serious peril, and calling for 8
State convention. We quote two:
H. We believe that a further extension Of the
conscript act by Congress will greatly endan.
ger the domestic peace and security of the State,
and SO deraDge our industrial pursuits as to
add famine to the horrors Of war.
12 We believe that the sovereignty Of North
Carolina and the liberty of her people are in
imminent peril, and we therefore respectfully
and earnestly request our Governor to con.
vene the Legislature, that the question NAV be
submitted to q vote OF the people, whether Or
not q convention shall be called with full
power to protect the sovereignty OF the State
and the rights of its citizens, and to meet every
emergency and every peril.
Important Decision.
Under this caption, the Progress has the an
nexed paragraph:
decision made under the new law OF Congress
conscripting the principals of substitutes, N ade
by Judge French, of the superior court bench
1t afiirms the constitutionality of the law, and
rolling officer. How far and to what extent
this decision may affect the action of the other
judges and the supreme court remains to be
seen Gov. Vance is pledged to sustain the
decisions of the judiciary of the State. and he
will do 1t, whether they be in favor of or against
the principals of substitutes.
OF Confederate money the Progress remarks :
South Carolina Senator writes home to
some one that Confederate money will better in
couple OF months than ever. The Lord speed
the day.
Many of the North Carolina troops are re-
enlsting, and the Progress bestows great praise
on them for so doing.
Peace Party in Georgia.
Referring to the recent arrest of Robert
Tcombs on charge of dis loyalty, the Progress
says:
We learn that there is very large peace
party in Georgia, and that the peace feeling
advocate State action. 1t may BIZ that Toombs
is arrested for his sympathy. with this party
Governor Brown, we learn from good autho-
rity, favors State action.

THR RECEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
The reception at the Presidential Mansion last
evening was undoubtedly the largest that has
taken place this winter The rooms were so
completely blocked up that it was almost i'm
possible to move. Seated in the oval room vas
Gen. Sickles, surrounded by a number Of his
friends end members of his staff; while in the
East Room we noticed Gems. Ogesby, Augur
ard others. Among the naval officers present
was Rear Admiral Davis. Mr.. Fred. Seward,
Assistant Secretary of State; Mr.. Bancroft, the
historian, and Collector Goodrich, Of Boston,
were present, as Were also Senators Morgan,
McDougal, johnson and Dixon. The Lower
House of Congress was represented by Speaker
Colfax and a number OF his fellow mem bers
Owing 10 the tact of there having been diplo-
matic dinner last evening, the only diplomats
In attendance were the Swedish and Spanish
Ministers.
Marshal Lamon at the left of the President,
presented the visitors to him as they passed
throu: b the reception room; and Hon. B. b.
Ere nch had the agreeable task of making pre-
sensations to Mrs. Lincoln, who put her guests
at ease by her cordial manner of receiving them
During the evening, DIR. Augusta, the colored
surgeon for the District colored regiment,
dressed in his majors uniform, and Assistant
Surgeon Abbott (colored, of the same regiment)
paid their respects to the President and were
kindly received by him.
There were several of the escaped Libby
prisoners among the guests; and the President
entered into conversation with Col. Kendrick,
OF the Sd West Tennessee regiment, remarking
pleasantly that he (the Colonel, who, by the
way, is rather tall and slim) was like himself
swell built for getting through small holes.''
About half past ten o'clock the President en-
tered the East Room, accompanied by Mrs.
Kasson, of Iowa, followed by Mrs. Lincoln,
escorted by Hon. Reverdy Johnson
Mrs. Lincoln was tastefully attired in a
white silk dress, heavily festooned with rich
black lace, and wore a necklace of pearls, and
bead dress also of pearls.

IMPORTANT FROM CAPE TOWN.
Seizure of the Pirate Tuscaloosa

BOSTON, Feb. % TIE bark John 4ilpen has
arrived at this port and brings Cape Town dates
TO the LIST of December
She reports that the rebel pirate Tuscaloosa
has been seized by the British authorities at the
Cape for violation OF the neutrality laws, in
landing portion of captured cargo on that
coast.
After the seizure of the Tuscaloosa, her lieu
tenant lodged formal protest against the pro-
ceedings, and proceeded to Cape Town to con-
suit with legal advisers. Mr.. Graham. the
United States Consul, had also lodged cl aim
against the vessel in behalf of her former own
ers, and 1t was thought that the question would
be received as to the legality of condemnation
by Captain Semmes, who claims to constitute
prize court by authority from the Rebel Gov
eminent. 1t will have to be argued before and
decided by Sir VIM. Hodges in the Admiralty
Court.
The Cape Town Advertiser states that, in the
seizure Of the Tuscaloosa. Admiral Walker
acted according TO special instructions, sent by
the home Government, and the prize will be
detained until claimed by the legal owners.
The grounds of The seizure were that the Tus-
caloosa is vessel belonging to the Federal
States of America, and, not having been adj u-
dictated before prize court, is still an uncon-
demned prize, which having been brought in an
English port in violation OF the neutral laws,
they must act accordingly, and the vessel be
detained.
The vessel referred to as captured by the
Tuscaloosa, was the Living Age, before re.
ported.
