landing to be made without the knowledge of our forces. The report of the capture of the Yankee, a Lincoln steamer, I regard as unfounded. It was thought in our city that she had been taken off Gloucester Point, but confirmation is wanting. It is something strange that one of the Baltimore steamers had been alongside the wharf at Newport News. What does this mean? One of Lincoln's crafts went up in this direction and neighborhood last night, about 11 or 12 o'clock. North Carolina has sent to our aid numbers of her gallant soldiers. More probably will arrive to-day or to-morrow. I hear of nothing interesting from Sewell's Point. Since the late action with the Monticello, this has been made impregnable. The report in the Northern press about the insolence of the Georgia soldiers here to our ladies, I pronounce false and malignant in the extreme. Unlike the inventors of such lies, they have been taught to reverence woman's name, and not to encircle it w

As all may be interested in facts relating to the internal resources of the Confederate States, of which North Carolina is now one, let me say that corn is the leading crop this year throughout the South. This has always been a corn-growing State. The Northeastern section embraces some of the finest corn land in the county, fifty bushels per acre being an ordinary thing. And now, owinNorth Carolina is now one, let me say that corn is the leading crop this year throughout the South. This has always been a corn-growing State. The Northeastern section embraces some of the finest corn land in the county, fifty bushels per acre being an ordinary thing. And now, owing to the war, and to provide against contingencies, the cotton and tobacco land has nearly all been put in corn, which, with fair yield, will supply us and two or more States besides, while the wheat is said to be very good indeed. So, instead of famine prices, flour is already falling, I learn, selling at $6 per barrel, instead of $8, as a while since. Turning attention to food in this manner, of course cotton, and turpentine especially, receive but little care. Where will the North get

We understand that Gen. Jefferson Davis left the nearest railroad station in North Carolina s' 2 o'clock yesterday evening, on route for this city. He may be expected in Richmond at an early hour this morning.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from North Carolina. Raleigh, May 27, 1861. Your correspondent had the pleasure on yesterday of attending the Convention now in session at Raleigh. A resolution was offered by Mr. Speed, of Pasquotank, to the effect that, under the circumstances of the case, it would be inexpedient for any member of the Convention to be appointed a member of the Congress of the Confederate States. Laid on the table. The body numbers among its members some of the most distinguished sons of the old North State, among whom I noticed Hons. Wm. A. Graham, Mr. Gilmer, and Ex-Gov. Reid. I was shown on yesterday by Hon. Mr. Edwards, President of the Convention, a telegram announcing the fact that President Davis was then at Montgomery. Yours, truly, Oats.

Mr. W. H. Speight, of Jacksonville, Fla., is now organizing a regiment of one thousand men, every one of whom to be six feet and upwards. The 7th and 8th Regiments of South Carolina Volunteers, have tendered their services, to a man, to enlist in the Confederate Army, and go to Virginia or wherever needed. Mr. John Hill, a member of the North Carolina State Convention from Stokes county, died in Raleigh on Friday last of apoplexy. In Charleston they have a Wagner improved rifled cannon which will throw a shell seven miles. Far enough.

ns of the Confederacy we have the most cheering accounts. Not only are the growing crops the most promising for years, but the people everywhere seem to have determined upon a full development of their own resources, to adopt the most rigid economy, and, if necessary, to submit cheerfully to any privation for the promotion of the glorious cause of Southern independence. The Charleston Mercury, of yesterday, says: Our planting friends are daily sending their rice straw to market, which is found to be more valuable than two-thirds of the hay we get from the North, and that North Carolina, Tennessee and old Kentucky are supplying us with butter, which, if not put up in as neat packages outside, is just as good to the taste as the best Goshen; and which is decidedly most valuable to us, as it is all home-made, and pays no tribute, for we Carolinians always feel proud that we carry out the words of our venerable Pinckney-- "Millions for Defence, But not a cent for Tribute."
