The election in this State for members of the Convention will be held on Thursday next. All who want to vote must go before two Magistrates before thut time and take the Amnesty oath. JEST Voters must remember to carry their, certifi cates of qualification along with them to the polls. The fallowing order has been issued by Gen.

An election having been appointed by His Ex cellency the Provisional Governor of the State -of North Carolina, to bo held on the 21st day of j "September. 18ft, tho following order in relation ! thereto is published for the government and in formation of nil concerned. .

V- The foregoing order is not published under apprehension that the conduct of the troops would otherwise be improper, or that the election would not be orderly, but that the evil-disposed, if such there be, may be forewarned and without excuse, mid, the election bo beyond suspicion fair.

The Public Treasurer of North Carolina sets down the public Qebt. in bond and Treasury notes, at about -820,000.000, after de ducting assets. This does not exactly reoresent ! the indebtedness of the State, for the Treasurer : i .j .i i e' omits to take into consideration the amount of open accounts agaiust the state. What the debt of this kind is, we suppose the Treasurer ' him. But, if he can't use his tongue, he is deter cannot estimate at present, but it must be one or mined to use his pen, and is out in another long two millions of dollars at least. In this town alone accounts are standing against the State o1 nearly half a million of dollars. Of course, if the State pays its war bonds and outstanding Treas ury notes, it must settle these accounts also. Justice and fairness require that all stand on the same footing. If one is paid the other must .be paid also. Those who are discussing the matter never allude to this account debt, and we call their at tention to the subject, though we think it would be better to postpone all such discussions to a future day. . m A Difficulty at Chapel Hill. A friend at Chapel Hill inform us that a rather serious difficulty occurred on the night of the 12th inst., between the negroes 6f the village and the Stu dents of the University. It is represented that the negroes were holding a "secret meeting," and that the Students attacked them for tho pur poso of breaking up the meeting. A goiic&al fight ensued, in which some of the students were pret ty badly injured and the negroes roughly hand Ted, pistols and sticks being freely used. The next day the studeDts found that their Society Halls had been defaced and the furniture torn up by the negroes. It is represented that the students are greatly excited and will not allow a negro to show his head in the Campus, The worst enemy the negro has is the white men who aro advising them to hold politi cal meetings and Conventions. Such assemblages will certainly excite animosity to'wards the color ed man. As Gen. Davis said in a speech in Pennsylvania recently, this is the wjiite man's country and tho white men North and South in tend it shall continue such. Negroes will never be allowed to vote and hold office in the southern States, and the less they agitate the question the better it will be for them. No one North or South (except a few crazy fana tics) is willing to allow them to vote; but if they behave themselves and prove industrious all are rillin; to aid them in earning an honest livelihood. Not Very CkeMtable The Winston Sen tinel states that the candidates to -epresent For syth county in the Convention auuounced them selves in public speeches at that place recently, and gives a sketch of the remarks of one of the candidates as follows : "Dr. J. L. Johnson, who was the first that ad dressed the people, took broad ground in favor of repudiating the war debt. As an evidence of his loyalty to North Carolina and the Union, he stated that during a part of the four years just ended, he had been in tho recruiting service, of the United States, and a part of the time he had acted as Steward and Assistant Surgeon in the Con federato army, and, while in. this position, he had secretly furnished Southern soldiers with passes fro hospitals, by means of which they could es cape to the Federal lines, -and that he had fre quently conducted deserters out of the Confed eracy." "Dr. J. L. Johnson" may consider this very creditable to himself, but we don't think many others of any class will look on it in that light. No wonder the Confederacy was crushed when its own officers acted in that way. Fkohibitiox.

JT IIorv.Thaddeus Stevens, member of Con gress froca Pennsylvania, recently made a speech iu Lcncaster. Pa., in which he declared bis op position to the President's reconstruction policy. He proclaimed his belief that the existence of the Republican party, depended upon the Southern States being kept out of the Union that the Emission of the Southern States would secure the triumph of the Democratic party, and con sequently the downfall of "the radical party. Stevens is a prominent man in Congress; being Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and he shows that he is working more for party than for the peace of the country. He is opposed to admitting what he calls the "rebel States," because it would endanger -the success and tri umph of radicalism and fanaticism generally. AU such men and theit friends will soon be found in direct hostility to President Johnsoji. The issue will be decided when Congress meets. Bad. One of the Editors of the Carolina Times, writing to his paper from V llsoirs . ... 1 riii?s, Cleaveland county, says: saw a day or two siuce, a gentleman from Yancey county who gave me a fearful account cf j the state of affairs in Jhat inai.couiuy. oome iwo (now disbanded) have r- i hundred of Kirk's uren (noi i turned and were plundering and maltreating the citizens most outrageously many were coinpeu- . ed to fly for their lives and a Southern man dare j not remain.

Mr Davis for not making peace, and saying that he is prepared to estab lish the fact "that President Lincoln was ready to grant peace to the South on the basis of uni versal amnesty, gradual emancipation, and the payment of $400,000,000 to the slave holding population of th South." Of course those who know Mr Foote will not put much 'confidence m what he says about this matter. He now pre- tends to have always been in favor of reconstruc tion, but we know tho fact that at one time he offered to denounce some of the North Carolina members of Congress whom he suspected of being for reconstruction. For the sake of peace, we hope he will never be allowed to hold a seat in the U. S. Congress again. . Among those pardoned by the President, we find the following North Carolinians : John B Palmer, O G Parsley, Henry Savage, Henry Nutt, John Wooster. Bedford Brown, J W Cum ming, Dr J Bellamy.

The" Governor of Mississippi recently issued orders for the Militia of the State to organize and assist in preserving order and putting dowi. bands of robbers. The commander of tiro U, S. troops in Mississippi countermanded the Governor's order. The Gov ernor appealed to the President. The President sustained the Governor, and in a letter addressed to him takes the following correct and patriotic position : - - "It. is believed there can be orgauized in each county a force of citizen militia to preserve order and enforce the civil authorities of the State, and of the Uuited States, which would enable the fed eral government to reduce the army, and with draw, to a great extent, the forced from the State, thereby reducing the enormous expenses of the government. "One great object is-to induce the people to come forward in defence of the State and federal governments. General Washington declared that the people, or the militia, was theurm of the con stitution, or the arm of the United States, and, as soon as it is practicable, the original design of the government, should bo resumed under tho principles of the great charter of freedom handed down to the people by the founder of the republic. The people must bo trusted with their govern ment, and if trusted my opinion is that they wilP act in good faith and restore their former consti tutional relations with all the States composing the Union." South Carolina. The Charleston Courier speaks of an interview between Gov. Perry and: Gen. Meade, at Columbia. S.

The civil courts are to be opened under the direction of his Excellency the Governor, and the civil and mu nicipal officers are to be permitted to resume their official duties and discharge them without interruption. During the interview Governor Perry spoke in warm terai3 of commendation of the action and proceedings of the courts lately established by order of General Giluiore. General MeaJo ex pressed himself well pleased with the condition of affairs in South Carolina, stating that every thing was working to his entire satisfaction, and it would be his pleasing duty to report tho fact to the Departmental Washington.
