' A-despatch from Washington in Ihc Rough $.ot-cs says : .. - The Conference, in committee of the whole, eubReqneatly agreod on Franklin's ubstituto ii the basis of compromise Virginia, North Carolina and' Missouri voted against it. It is thought in Washington that Mr. Lin coln's Cabinet will bo crganizod as' follows: Secretary of Slate Wra. II. Seward. Secretary of the Treasury Gn. Cameron. Attorney General Edward Bates. Secretary of War Montgomery Biair. T. M. (i. -Schuyler Colfax. Secretary of the Nary C. F. Adams. Secretary if the Interior Gov. Chase. Vice President llamlin has arrived in Wash- : anjrton. - The fSIi wing was telegraphed rom Wash-; ingtoo Saturday. In the Peace ConfeTen-co this morning, Mr. ' Chase o! Ohio, offered & startling proposition to the foZioxing effect: T2tat wheja it is inexpedient to proceed in the caos-dkratiin of the giave matters involved in the resolutions of the State of Virginia call ing this Conference together, until all the States have participated in iu proceedings, And until ample time is afforded for delibera tion among rll the delegates : ... Therefore resolved, that the Coiiventwus ad journ to meet again on Thursday, tbe 4th of April, and that the President of the Convention ha requested to address letters i the Govern ors of the several States urging them to ap point Commissioners to the Conference to meet at that time. The resolution led to an exciting and earnest lcbate, and there is a prospect that it may be carried. The Ratification Meeting. In obedience to the call for a meeting on Saturday evening to ratify the nominations of Messrs. Green and Whitford for the Conven- " tion a large audience assembled at the Theatre at an early hour. About half past seven the meeting was organized by the appointment of a chairman and secretaries, and Mr. Green be ing called for proceeded to address the meeting. His speech was cool, calm and argumentative, enumerating the wrongs of the South and pointing out the duty of North Carolina, in the event that no settlement can be had, in a man ner highly satisfactory to tho assemblage. Mr. Green spoke at some length and was lis tened to with marked attention. At the conclusion of Mr. Green's remarks a Tociferous call was made for D. K. McRae, Esq. who came forward and made one of the happiest efforts of his life, eliciting at almost the conclusion of every sentence uprorious ap . plause from the audience. For sound logic, keen satire, brilliant wit ar d unbounded good humor we have rarely if ever heard this speech .. excelled. He enumerated the wrongs inflicted upon us for a long scries of years by the North .'. and appealed to all Southern men to come tip to a common cause like patriots, forgetting all . party lines and petty jealousies, and looking only to their interests and their duty in the nrescnt crisis. He hszs. d the friends of the ST " ' otj ticket nominated on Friday night to withdraw it not on account of any objections to those gentlemen or dilfcrefice cf opinion between them and the gentlemen on the first ticket, but for the sake of ujeioe su$d karmony among our selves as Southern men. After speaking at considerate length Mr. McRae took his scat aid shouts f applause. After Mr. McRae had .concluded J- L. Pa rtington being called for, arose and addressed jthe niecting for some half an hour. He said he had been a Unicn man and that he was still a Union man, prvidd the Union eauld be re constructed upc a basie that wcwZd be honor abje jto the Sotfaand jth Ech (eonstitutional guarantees as jvwild protect the rights and inte rests ,pf every er.tion of the country ; but if this could not be done and that speedily he favored the secession of North GarpJma and all the other Southern States, preferring to make common cause with the SQtjth in a struggle for In dependence to remaining in a Government which Jooked on u. and treated us. 4s inferious. He honestly believed that there was no hope for a compromise, and insisted that, should Congress and tbe M Peace Conference" break up with out presenting Borne plarTof settlement satis factory to the South, North Carolina should go . dit a,t once. He closed by saying that if the worst come to the worst and a war should cn 'itue. between the two great-sections of a people hitherto united, the North might mnrch its victorious hosts through our- fair land, passing over the bodies of helplessness and innocence whose warm hearts had ceased to b6at, with ering and blighting all our material prosperity, burning and sacking our towns and villages and committing other deeds too dark and hor rible to mention ; that they might even anni hilate us, but subjugate or cocrco U3; Never ! Never I Nover I At the conclusion of Mr. Pcnningtorfs re marks Mr. N. II. Street, the Senator from this county, being called for arose at his scat and ad dressed the meeting in a brief but spirited manner. He explained the cause cf the tardi ness in the Legislature in calling a Convention, declared that he believed the troubles between the sections must end in a final and permanent separation, and advocated the taking of the forts and arsenals in this State to keep them from being reinforced or garrisoned. Mr. Street's speech was full of patriotic fire and' received marked applause from the audience. The meeting altogether was a' pleasant one,, and the assemblage listened attentively and re spectfuly to all that was said. The occasion was honored by the attendance of a number of ladies whose presence no doubt contributed somewhat towards heightening the flights of eloquence in which some of the speakers in dulged. There was some slight disturbance we be lieve about the door, outside, at one time, but we don't know who caused it nor do we care. The Record. As some of our friends are considerably ex ercised concerning our present position relative to national affairs some even going so far as to insinuate that taking decided ground for the South and her rights is a new thing with us we invite their attention to the following which appeared editorially in the Prvgress of Oct. 26, 1858 : "' " Disguise it as we may tbe time is coming, and probably not very far distant, when, for the preservation of life and property, the South will havo to stand by herself and take care of herself.- The commercial and manufacturing interests of the North, which have the power to build up and tear town parties at their pleas ure, may avort this if they will, but. judging the future by the past it.is not at all likely that they will do it It stands the South in. hand to prepare for the worst. These were our sentiments sixteen months ago and we should like to know what paper or public man in the State took a stronger posi tion in favor of the South at that Jime than is taken in this language. ' Again in the Progress of Oct. 20, 1859, we said: . . " " If we have got to isplit on this nigger ques tion, as evidently ws must, we can only say of the Union- let her slide." "Any thing is preferable. to the eternal, agitation . of tho nigger question, and if we caiinpt enjoy . the ptfaceabls possession of our property add have our rights respected in the Union, let lis- come out and shiver it into a thousand fragnicats.---We love. And venecate the Union. It was. a holy compact, and we would suffer and endure much before laying hands on any. one of "the props: which support the riobld structure; but if participation in such treasonable - outbreaks as that recently:.attempted at Harper's Ferry are to go unpunished, then we say. tho sacred compact js a failure and a mockery, and we would sooner trample it in the 'dust' than live under it." "Let volunteer companies be formed and armed in every town-, and village: in the State ;:- " nothing can bo lost by preparation for emergencies." ' These were our sentiments then they are our sentiment now. We did not believe it was safe to " watch and wait " then, nor do wc be. lieve it is safe to watch and. wait now. ." Our files may be examined at our office' by anv one who is curious as to the " changes that have come over .us. Tlie Cart Before I lie filbrse. Wc have never believed the absurd charge that Mr. Hamhn the Vice President elect was part nig gerv but whether he be so or not he certainly wouid have made & better President than old Abe, for he is a man of education and common sense, both of which important items the President elect is evidently very deficient in. As Mr. Hamlin passed through Hartford on his way to Washington, in answer to a wel cciiie Irom the Mayor, ho said : Frdloic-Citizens I feel gratified to be receiv ed by you here in such large numbers to-day. But I cannot concur in all the kind worus which my friend has so warmly uttered. It is not a mark of respect to myself, personally, that you have convened here, but it is an evi dence of your devotion to a common cause, and a common Union. Individuals are as impor tant in such a crisis as this, as the merest atoms of dust driven by the wind ; but the principles inherited from our fathers, will never perish. Let New England be just to all the land, -let fraternal leelings be cherished towards all the Union ; in the name of God let us administer the government on the principles which our fathers framed it With a heart that beats in unison with the prineiples you have espoused 1 can heartily say with you, "The Union ar.d tho Constitution, now and forever." Here it will be seen that Mr. Hamlin urges New Engiand to "be just to all the land," but very well he knows that New England will do no such thing; her people will war in the fu ture as in the past upon slavery and slave owners, and no power upon earth can prevent them' from doing it. Lincoln at Washington. Abraham and his keepers arrived at Wash ington about davlii- ht Saturday morning:. No 0 o fuss was made over his arrival. "Jsobody IIcrt." Lincoln sajrs the "panic hurts nobody," and a distinguished gentleman said in the Theatre in this place on Friday night last that we had "had nothing but peace under the government." Nobody hart! Ask the people throughout the land who are reelin and falling under a pressure such as was never felt betore. Nothing but peace under the Gov ernment! A k the people of Virginia whose citizens were murdered in cold blood at Har per's Frry and who had to pay two hundred and twenty-odd thousand dollars for having it done. The Despot's Budv Guard. There are now fifteen hundred men in arms at Washington City to surround the Capitol and prevent the ns2.isination of Mr. Lincoln on the occasion of his inauguration next Monday. This we sup nose is one of the "sycaptoms" upon which a "tope" for "peace " based. w Lincoln in JiSbsev. Lincoln and his raena gerie passed through Jereey on Friday last stonnin-r and exmbitiog ac me principal towns, on the road. Old Abe .inadu several speeches durine the' day more nonsensical and more disgusting if possible thin his. Philadelphia harangue. He had better let Judd do the talkin- and keep his mouth closed lor it is evi dent speech-making is- not his forte. . Fickle. Sunday was warm enough without fire but yesterday was. too coll with all tha firo one could get. Dont think early gardeners will hit it this year. The 22nd. Friday tbe 22nd, the birthday of Washington was generally observed North and boutn. " , , , . " IlctiiriiiDS Sense of Justice" Uopc : fbT the UnloiiT ' - We have been recently told that there , was great hope lor the Union on acconnt of the "returning senses of justice "-exhibited by the Northern people ; that were the: contest-to cotrie off now Lincoln would be beaten in New York one hundred thousand votes, etc. .This is a great mistake. The cry in New York State and all the other northern State js, f No Compromise with traitors "War on the rebels " &.c. and itis upon these principles and to cary but these principles that Lincoln assumes the robes of office next Monday. See what the New York Tribune says of the present strength of the Republican party in New York State. That paper of Friday last has the following : ALL HAIL NEW YORK. We have heard a good deal within the last three months of a popular reaction against Re publican principles and the Republican party in this State.- That distinguished Silver Gray, who specially represents Mi. Thurlow Weed in;ths Old Gentlemen's. Conference at Wash ington, gave distinct utterance to this brilliant ideo the other day, when he said that, if an election were now to be held here, the Chicago Platform and Honest Abe Lincoln would be voted down by at least a hundred thousand majority. On what facts this opinion is based we know not Certainly, so far as the public are infermed, out of all the Republican host of last November, only Mr. W ced and two or three of his niest docile followers would now be added to the Fusion, Slavery-Extension par ty. On the other hand, let the Compromisers and Slavery Extensionists take notice that the Town Elections now going forward in many of the counties of this State show not merely that the glorious principles of Republicanism hold their own, but that with the People they are stronger now than in November J In St. Lawrence, Montgomery, Delaware, Fulton, Chemung, Steuben, Tioga, we have 'gained on oub fokmeh vote ! And this has been accom plished in the face of a pwfectly united and most zealous enemy, and under the discourage ment and depression caused in our own ranks by the treacherous abandonment of the Republi can standard by apoliticiar esteemed so shrewd and influential as Mr. Weed. So much the more cheering are these victories. They af- brd a new and more decisive proof that the icart of New York still beats fearlessly for Freedom, and that, however, individuals may falter and may fail, the mass of our people stand now as always, for the Union, the Con stitution, and the Enforcement of the Laws. The Steamer Dayliglif. We have just seen a . letter frotn Mr. Ear- towo one of the owners of- this vessel and learn from it that the steamer, whieh left Morchcad City on the 16th arrived at-NewYork on- the 18th, fil.hours from dock to dock. She expe rienced ' some very heavy weather however which caused some damage to the machinery, which is now being overhauled and by which the steamer will be delayed a few days, perhaps a week at New York. - She will sail as soon however, as the dama ges-are-repaired ani sanie'cqntemplajiedchan ges made. T)ue'natice will be givon by the agents at Jiorehead City. ' - -. ' FROM WASHINGTON. ' Washington, Feb. 24. Various amendments are y'et jto be" voted pri by tho P-Jce Confer ence. During last night's session they agreed to the first branch of the pending propositions. prohibiting slaverv South of sb.30, and recog nizing the status of .slavery South of that line ; theStatcs'for'ihed oirt of that Territory, to be admitted wiih'or without slavery; as their re spective' Constitutions may prescribe. This re ceived a direct affirmative vote. Some of the Commissioners who opposed the proposition, confidently assert that, with some exceptions, this is satisfactory to all those from the border States. ; The probability now is, they will not com plete their labors bef or I uesday. Yesterday lour Commissioners were received from Kansas. Their deliberations have, it is represented been characterized by digrnt', ability and candor, while proper respect has been shown to conflicting views. After the adjournment last night the Com missioners held a brief but pleasant interview with the President elect, whose presence in Washington, some of theai sav, 1a.h already produced a good effect in political circles. Mr. Lincoln, to-day, in company with vv m. H. Seward attended divine service at St. John's (Episcopal) Chureh. The proposition suamittea yesteraay in me House by Mr. Woodson, for the preservation of peace, directs the President to withdraw trie Federal troops and employees irom tne iorts and other public works in the seceded States. All real property is to ba turned over to them in trust, but United States jurisdiction over the same is not surrendered. All the personal pro perty of the United States is to be removed from the seceded states, out points ior collec tions to be established outside of them are au thorized. Means are to bo taken to prevent the evasion of the revenue laws along the lines separating the seceded from the other fctates. 1 he ob ject is to avoid the calamities of civil war, and promote the speedy and peaceiui re-conneccion of all the States in the bonds of more perfect and enduring Union. This proposition has attracted the attention of some of the Peace Commissioners. LiCtter from 31 r. Vance. The following letter from the Hon. Z. E. Vance appeared in the National Inteligen- ocr : House or Representatives. ) FoK 2- I8fil. C Messrs. Editors : I see that 1 am announced in vour naner this morning as one of the man- a"-ers.on the part of the Mouse, of Mr. Lincoln's inauguration Ball, on the 4th proximo. Aiy name was placed there without my knowledge or consent, and I have yet been unable to as certain by whose authority it was done. Whilst under ordinary circumstances, I should feel flattered by ihe supposition that I was wil ling to extend any and all social courtesies to a political opponent, I beg leave to decline any part in tendering an ovation even to t e first Magistrate of the Nation, when he comes with threats of war and subjugation against my sec tion upon his lips. Very respectfully, Z. B. Vance. Wliat IMr. Clingmau Says. The iVilmington Herald has received the following dispatch from Mr. Clingman : Washington Feb, 22d, 1861. To the Editor of the Herald : Neither Crittenden's plan nor its equivalent will be adopted. North Carolina must decide either to help Lincoln subjugate t ie South, or join the Southern Confederacy. T. L. CLINGMAN. FEDERAL REINFORCEMENTS AT HAND. The special despatches of the Mercury, an nouncing that a stealthy reinforcement of Fort Sumter had been determined o-i, and that Fed eral troops, in boats, might be expected at any moment that circumstances should happen to favor their attempt to reach the fort, were con firmed about nine o'clock last night, hy tele grams received by the Governor. Shortly af terwards, despatches came up from Fort Moul trie, stating that the Lieutenant in charge of the harbor watch had reported that be was in formed by a pilot that the steamship Daniel Webster had been seen by hiin off Cape Ro main at noon. Notice was immediately given to the different posts. General Dunnovant and Captain Hamilton proceeded immediately to Fort Moultrie. Major Stevens repaired to the Morris Island batteries. Everything was got in readiness for the espected visitors. Up to tho hour at which we go to press (half past 4 o'clock,) there has been nothing seen either of the Daniel Webster, or her boats. We are very sure that the gallant troepsi on Morris and Sullivan's Islands will keep a bright lookout for both. CA. Mercury 22nd. . . Hon.

There are two sides to our life cne which the "world" sees : the other known only to God and ourselves. The world sees us calm and conten ted. God knowv us to be anxious and troubled. The world sees but our smiling and cnreless ex terior, whiio we feel a trwbbing bruin and a bexrt filled with anguish. Appaiei.tly of the bustling crowd we pass, but with our thoughts far from the busy scei:e. We mingle with the gay, adding our laughter to the sfra ns of mirth, answering the smile ot joy with one as seemingly joyous; the merry je t is met by the bright repartee, and idle flatteries are repaid by words as meaningless our hearts the while' bitterly crying, "all Is vanity and vexation of spirit." In the silence of selitude the fair mask thrown asi 'e who would recog nize, in the trjuble bowed form, the gay being of an hour ago 7 What a relief it is to leave the careless tiwong, and alone to give vent to the anguish of our souls. 'Tis sweet to havt, a frieud in whom to confide, to sympathy si with us in our sorrows; but this is ufieu. denied us and we must '-leave our buideu in silence and alone. How pitiable -is he who has i;o frefuge in such an hour, but tho exciting draught, or obiivious opiate. The only true relief is prayer. Does the proud will refuse to bow the kiieo 1 O! that spirit knows not-the healing halm, which prayer gives the wounded heart; the quick relief from the heavy burden given up to God; the sweet calm that succeeds the tempt st of tho soul, as God's-spirit whispers "Pence be still " Tirs Piti.NC; o,F Rails." If a story, reJsted by a Rochester (N Y.) pxper about "Job" Lin coln b true, 'Bob" must bu a somewhat rapid young m.-iii.. -liob's first night iu New York, it is saiu was spent "about town,'" looking in at the. elephant With some congenial spirits ht Itanium's Musemj after which attention was paid to other. peculixr sights and scenes. The story referred to we find in the Rochester Democrat, and is us follows: Robert Lincoln, son. of th President elect, wjio is known now. an "Prince Bub,".is destiued to make his peculiar mnrk and bt remembered by the people 'wherever he goes. Of the many good thing; told of. this boy jn liuff-iio. on Satur day, we heard the following: A few days siuce, when Mrs Lincolu was ou her waV home from New York attended by "her son Robeit. she found lierseif at IJnffalo, wiihout'a pass over the State Line 'Railroad. ' .For that link' in the chain of railway between New -Yor and Spriupfield no "provision had been -made. After Mrs. Lincoln had taken her seat in the cars at Buffalo, for the West, her son Hob entered tho office of R. N. Brown, Esq , the gentlemanly superintendent of tho State Lino aaiirond, - and Inquired if Mr. Brown was in 7 Mr Biuwu responded nnd in quired what was wanted 7 His interrogator ad dressed him iu substantially the folio wing lan guage': T - ".My nr.me is Bob Lincoln, I'm a son of Old Abe the ul 5 woman is in tho cttrs raising h 1 about Lor passes I wish you would go and at tend to her." ... .Mr.BrO.vn, very promptly filld out tho requi site papers to enable Airs Lificoln and family to ride over his road without payment of fare, and delivered them to her. It is probable that "thi old v omau" gave . Bolr uo further troublo about the passes on that trip. Mrs. Surah Fannie Belote, daughter of Mr. Jas. L. Belote, of Norfolk, Va.t died on Sunday morning last, aged 19 years: Wm. Gay an old citizen of Natchez, Miss., was killed last Monday while hunting ducks. fcl'l-UlAL NOTICES.
