Graham, ex-member Of the rebel Senate r
who is to be delegate TO the coming o1ate
convention, says, under no circumstances ln., n
will he consent to the retarn OF NORM Gar

TT r. Russ, of this city, who has recently |
received Federal appointment, and VINO
has been designated to represent this district
in Congress, and also in the approaching
State Convention, defines his position on the
slavery question by saying that it he had
the mower he would re-enslave every slave
who ia now free. 49,.
Some OF the county meetings which have
nominated rebel leaders as candidates to the
State Convention instructed them to favor
BY constitutional or legislative eDactments
being Of liberated slaves to former masters
for u term Of years. This material is al
ready designated to represent North Caro-.
lima in her convention, and also in Congress.
THE Union men, alarmed at these fresh de-
velopments of disloyalty, are organizing for
the purpose of requesting the immediate en-
forcen,ent Of the coufscation law, which
they claim will drive these rebel leaders and
synparhisers from the political field, and en-.
able men of clear record to present con-
stitution and delegation to Congress which
that body can consent toaccept. The reck-
less manner OF pardoning the great rebels
10 North Carolina. such as Graham and
others, is exciting the grave apprehensions
Of the loyal citizens Of the State.

Ringer commanding the Department Of

has suspended the publication Of the Daily
Union Banner, published at Salisbury, in
this State, for promugating disloyal seatl-
ments. There are several newspapers which
haye recently appeared in different parts
Of the State of the same stamp, which will,
doubtless, be suspended by Gen. Ruger, as
they are publishing disloyal sentiments of a
,ncst dangerous character. The Fayette-
willie Daily News is one Of this number. 1t
saws that the people Of this State will stul-
tify and degrade themselves by adopting
the constitutional amendment abolishipg
slavery, and that the new State Convention
must leave slavery where they found It, as
it existed before the war.
Many Of tue southern tier CT counties in
this State, bordering on South Carolina
have instructed their delegates to the State
convention TO take this position and insist
80 the last Gu the adoption Of the same BY
that body.

Maynsfd might possibly be beaten, bu
il isnot probable that he will be. Stok
will defeat Hird by an overwhelming major
i;y. Cooper has no positive opposition
'i'be contest between Hawkins and Ether
ilee will be close, but Hawkins las th
