Military movements in North Carolina. --From Asheville, N. C., May 6th, a correspondent writes: "Old North Carolina is now nobly responding to Old Virginia's movements in good earnest, and I doubt not will soon tender more troops than will meet the present demand of the Governor. Two full companies left this county for Raleigh last week, and three more are nearly ready to follow. Many Southern gentlemen are surprised to find in this part of the State more excitement among the peopl "Old North Carolina is now nobly responding to Old Virginia's movements in good earnest, and I doubt not will soon tender more troops than will meet the present demand of the Governor. Two full companies left this county for Raleigh last week, and three more are nearly ready to follow. Many Southern gentlemen are surprised to find in this part of the State more excitement among the people, of all classes, than marked the most intense feeling among the revolutionists of the Palmetto State."
Distinguished Visiters. His Excellency Governor Ellis. of North Carolina, attended by Col. Riddick, Assistant Adjutant General of the State, and Cols. Hughes and Hammerskold, aids to the Governor, arrived here last evening, in a apecial train from Raleigh, North Carolina. They were accompanied by Hon. L. O'B. Branch, Hon. Samuel J. Person, Hon. W. W.Avery, Gen. M. W. Ransom, J. Spelman, Esq., Drs. E. Manson, and E. Warren, members of the North Carolina Legislature. They are here, we understand, on business of importance.--They are stopping at the Exchange Hotel, as are also several distinguished citizens of Maryland, officers of the Confederate States Army, &?., &c.
he part of the Federal Government has been broken, and has involved the country in civil war, and if not successfully resisted, will prove fatal to the liberties of the people. He charges the President with usurpation of power in creating a standing army, mad with sectional hate, to subjugate or exterminate ten or more States. He says that seven States have established a Confederacy, which seems to receive the cordial and undivided allegiance of their entire population, and thinks that North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas will soon join it, while Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, where public sentiment favors a like step, are considering the propriety of joining the Confederacy. He declares the American Union dissolved, and war exists. He asks whether Kentucky shall continue with and assume her portion of the enormous war debt being incurred by the Federal Government — whether Kentucky shall declare her own independence, and, single-handed, prepare to maintain it, or make common c
nd it is alleged that he had recently made patterns of these improvements. "He is a Southerner by birth, and he has been looked upon with suspicion since the first outbreak of the rebellion. "When ordered to visit a Southern fort a few weeks since he took occasion to request the authorities at Washington to transfer him to some other post, as it was not agrecable to him to be engaged in superintending the manufacture of ordnance to be used, perhaps, against his own relatives in North Carolina. But his request was not complied with, and his resignation is the result — his purpose being, it is said, not to join the Southern Confederacy, but to retire to private life in Philadelphia." The greatest anxiety is manifest among a portion of the Northern warriors, to prove that they have no desire to interfore with the institution of slavery. We give the following for what it is worth: Harrisburg, May 10.--An application made by private parties in the Eastern States
From Norfolk. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Nofolk, Va., May 11th, 1861 Everything remains at present tranquil with us. We have been still farther reinforced by the arrival last night and this morning of the Louisiana Regiment, numbering over a thousand men, and expect by the train to-day the Oh Regiment from Alabama; also, this afternoon, 500 Indians from the west and southwestern part of North Carolina. The latter are to be employed to act as far as may be deemed necessary as scouts, and I have no doupt will prove very useful, they having a peculiar tact for that duty; besides, they are sell trained in the use of arms, and are said to be the best marksmen in the world. The authorities at Norfolk thought it best to detain the steamer Wm. Selden, which arrived on Thursday from Old Point, bringing the mails and passengers, which were transferred to her from the steamer Louisiana, from baltimore, at Old Point. She now lies snugly required to one of our w
r Representatives in Congress Congress on yesterday, passed in secret session an act which was soon afterwards made public, enumerating the acts of hostilities and aggression by the Lincoln Government, intending, it declares, "to overawe, oppress and finally subjugate the people of the Confederate States," and recognizing the fact that war now exists between this Government and the Government of the United States and the States and Territories thereof, except the States of Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri and Delaware, and the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, and the Indian Territory South of Kansas. It also authorizes the President to issue to private armed vessels letters of marque and reprisal against the goods and effects of the United States Government and the States and Territories of said Government. So the numerous proposals that the President declared in his message he had received, besides the other applications that are known
