In the North Carolina Convention,

on Tuesday, Col. Brown, of Caswell, introduced an ordinance to give to volunteers for the war twenty-five dollars bounty, in addition to the fifty dollars offered by the Confederate Government.

The Convention has also passed an ordinance providing that the interest attached to the three millions of treasury notes ordered to be issued at the last session, shall be stricken out. We learn that about $325,000 of these interest bearing notes have already been issued by the Treasurer, and by the ordinance just passed, these notes will be continued in circulation and the interest paid on them at maturity. The main reason for striking out the interest was that the banks declined to receive the interest-bearing notes.--Raleigh Standard.
