THE CONVENTION QUESTION.

The subject, says the Cleveland
BanncJ', is now being agitated, and
thoroughly and ably discussed, by the
Democratic press aud people of the
the State, from Currituck to Cherokee,
the Wilmington JOURNAL, that staunch
old Democratic paper, SO ably edited,
and always right, taking the lead.
a month OR more ago we wrote an
article favoring the call OF Conven-
ton; but at that time the question was
new, ostensib!v, aud but little had
been said about it. The press seemed
to be languid, ana iIdisposed to take
hold of il, knowing that it was ore of
great magnitude aud Importance, upon
and around it clustering the veal or
woe Of the State. Bat since then calm
de!iberation has driven away the clouds
of doubt, fear and pusillanimity, and
awoke the people to theic danger, and
their solemn and imperative duty.

The Charge OF E2arly's Division at
Gettysburg.


The Southern Historical Society
held its annual meeting in Richmond
q few days ago. Gen. Early is Presi-
dent of this association. Hon. r. NJ.
L. Hunter delivered the annual ad-
dress. The Richmond Enquirer says:
"At the conclusion of MIR. Hunters
address General Early related how
brigade of North Carolinians and
another of Louisianians charged, I'M
supported, up the heights Of Gettys-
burg on the third day OF the fight,
driving the enemy until they were
overwhelmed aud outfanked, aud then
falling back with 100 .prieonoIs and
four captured flags. One of the regl-
ments was commanded by ID. b. Penn.
| of Louisiana"
Aud, we will add, that the other
brigade (Hoke's) was commanded by
Col. [. +. Avery, of the 9th n. c..
| Regt, who was mortally wounded just
as they were ordered to fall back and
lived only long enough to write Gu an
envelope, crilnsoned with his blood.

was addressed to Col. Samuel Med.
Tate, OF Burke, then Major OF the 9th

+ 1t is sad to note how little interest
is manifested in the war record of the
North Carolina troops by the soldiers
themselves. No member of that com
