he resolutions of last night. That the people of the State want a Convention, and will shortly demand one from the Legislature, we have no doubt, unless we are very much mistaken or misinformed, and we do not think we are. The message of Gov. Ellis, sent to the Legislate Tuesday, is said to recommend enrolling all the citizens between 18 and 45, as militia. A letter from Graham Davis, Private Secretary to the Governor of North Carolina, to the Norfolk Herald, contradicts the report that U. S. troops were sent to Fayetteville, N. C. in the solicitation of the Executive of that state and adds: Permit me to state through your columns, that Gov. Ellis had no previous intimation of the President's intention, and certainly never made any such request. The object in sending the troops is wholly unknown, and the measure is regarded as totally unnecessary by itself, and, at this time, exceedingly imprudent, as having a tendency to increase the irritation of the public mind.
