The Con! room was densely crowded and it is estimated that, besides the citizens of Goldsboro', about three hundred otheis, inhabitants of tho coun ty, participatyd in the . proceedings. The room was tastefully ornamented with evergreens and presented a lively appearance, with its dense packing of loyalist?.

The proceedings of the meeting havo been eont us by the Secretary. We . are sorry that our reporter reached Goldsboro' too late to make our usual synopsis of speeches. Tho following ia the Secretary's report : ' . A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citi zens of Wayne assombled in Mass Sleeting in Goldsboro, on the 20th, pursuant to notice. The meetjng was called to crdcr by J. B. Whit aker, who stated that Wayne county, had already, through a meeting of her citizens held in April last caught step to the music of the Union, but at'the request of. many wno were unavoidably prevented attending on th;tt occasion, a second rnoeting bad been called m erdjsr to give all who feel afi attachment' to the old flag, an op portunity to renew their devotion .and seek pre lection under its atnple folds. It is cheering to the patriot's heart, continued the speaker, to meet upon occasions like this.' IJe feels that it is go id to be here "when wo can express free dom of speech, without the fear of being hur ried to the froiit." Thank God, fellow citizens, the cause of liberty is now tiiumphant- beyond a doubt, and the glorious example of free peo ple overoording every, difficulty, "trampling un der foot every obstacle, and in spite of exertions that would have paraliSfed any other -country, is unmistakably set before the woilJ. lie conclu ded by nominating for President, Anderson l)can, Esq.,( a good and true' man, who four years ago, for his loyal sentiments was .violent ly persecuted on the streets of GoKlsbtir . The motion was unanimously carried, d Mr. Deans conducted to the chair. It was moved by Mr. Jno. Robinson, that the resolutions adopted by the Mass Meeting in Raleigh, having tho ring of the true metal, f oin first to last, be adopted as the voice of rthis meein. The resolutions were - read by the secretary, and unanimously adopted, amidst deafening ap plause. , V ;H - Mr. Jaines II.: Everett bein. called upon ad dressed the meeting in his happiest manner, and the frequent outbursts of applause gave evidence that his speech was well rtiveu clined it.

Tde statement of the Tribune relating to Mr. A. H. Stephens, is a surprise. Mr. Liacobi conversed rtrf freely witht me on the subject f his Cabinet, at Springfield., bat' neither then nor subsequently was the name of Mr, Ste phens mentioaed m that conversation. advocacy of Union men ia Slavo States for the Uabmet, Mr Liincoln expressed his feare on questions likely to arise, such men could not ba rehed -upon. : There were, I insisted, two exceptiens viz: Andrew Jehnson and John M.

Tfee letter (which Mr. Lincoln ruad to me) h quired the views entertained by Mr. Gilmer upon the questions likely to vex the Govern ment. Mr. 5ilmer's reply (which be also read to me) was quite satisfactory but subsequently, when the 44 Border State Question" arose in Congress, Mr. Gilmer changed his ground, and then informed Mr. Lincoln that he could not favor a "coercive poTicy, This miserable tde lusion not only left Mr, Gilmer atd others out of the Cabinent,bu.t took them out of the Unicn. But not so with Mr. Johnson. He never hesitated about using, 'coercion" when neces sary to maintain the Government and preserve the Union. . T. V". The Fato of Guerrilla. . (From the Progress.)
