JTebruary 5th-, 1863, J, R. Logan, THE NEWJ. The latest news which we publish 16-day - is of considerable interest, and will give xise to a gocd deil- rf speculation, 'as; differcn persons view it from different stand points We do not think the news from the Worth . weak can be considered extravagant or "sen- sationil," inasmuch as it is in keeping with - all the 'signs which have been manifested in - that quarter for someOtime past.. That the Northwest has suffered more" from the war than any other portion of our enemy's conn try that it has done,: more of the fig-h ting and sustained a heavier loss -of material wealth, does not admit of a doubt.' That it should be, then, heartily sick of the war, and ready to put an end to it andjesume a tiade with its natural and most profitable customers, which will soon reimburse the losses sustained " by it in waging an insane war against these customers, is by no means . surprising. Indeed, it would be very unrea sonable to entertain a contrary opinion. It is to be hoped that' the. States of the Northwest will nt make their admission to membership of the Southern Confederacy the sole condition of .their abandoning the war, fcr no such condition, it is to be hoped, can ever be complied with The experiment of a Federation between slayeholding and non slaveholdfng States has been fairly tried, and the history of its failure js now being written ' in blood. As separate and' distinct nations, the Confederacy of the South and a Confed eracy of the Northwest would be bound by considerations of mutual interest to be friend ly and neighborly. Let eaoh; be content with this, and no. closer tie be sought, and both will be quiet and .prosperous nations, each keeping the eleventh commandment, of minding its own business , and letting its neighbor's alone. The news from abroad of proposed media- ' tion Eeems to" have assumed a more definite shape. A steady and immovable maintenance of its present position by the South will soon put a stop to the war, as surely as effects fol low' causes. ". From our armies there is nothing new o interest, except the reported abandonment o the line of the Rarpahannock4y the Yankee army, which is said to be moving towards Washington. - ' irTte fresolntions addressed tb "The People of North Carolina," which will be found in another column of this paper, should, and we trust will, arrest the earnes attention of eve'rv voter in the State. These resolutions are the offspring ' of a movemen originally set on foot by. member of the fjpnpnl Aasemblv. who invited suen otner 'citizens as might choose to co-operate with them,' to give to them the sanction of their concurrence and support. The conduct , of , - 4 , the majority of the Legislature, so well cal culated at once to stain the charaoter of the StatA. iniure the material interests of its . People , and imperil the common and holy cause in which the Confederacy is sow bat tling, imperiously demanded an urgentap- peal from their misdoings to the constituent body. This appeal -' is inade in no spirit of party. So far from it, it appeals againsMne spirit of party which characterized the dom inant faction of the Legislature, and which threatens unless rebuked by the People at the ballot-box, the direst consequences, not onlv to North Carolina, but thev whole Con- federaoy. The spirit manifested by the par ty in North Carolina calling itself "Conser vative," so far from having, been "exhib ed in any other State in the Confederacy, has excited in all other States of the Con federacy mingled feelings of surprise, alarm and , indignation. . ' Surprise, that m tate which has "contributed 0 lavishly of its blood and its treasure to the. great cause of "human liberty and all that man holds dear, a faction animated by so fell a spirit should be permitted to bear even temporary sway alarm, lest so pernicious an example should be followed . iu other States to the creat ieopardv, if not final destruction of our cause, and indignation, that at a time when all admit that the crisis of as momen tons a struggle as. the world has ever seen is upon us, and that, nothing but untiringly vigorous and thoroughly united counsels and action can save us from a Tate, the bare con templationof which Causes the mind to shrink baek horror-stricken and appalled traction, owiog its aseerig&uoy to the combined causes of fraud and accident, should have it in its power to incite our diabolical enemy to re newed efforts, by impressing him witbJthe belief that the cord of union no' loqger binds together the hearts of our people,and that here after he will only encounter counsels divided W TTZ'flnhZ of life.

Tt& peiUge pa advartiied letters is two oeats eaon : the character ascribed to President Davis bj one of the first and purest men in the Confederacy, after the best opportunities of judging, and blush, if they can blush, for their conduct : ; ! ' . Now, gentlemen, I will give you franklyay opinion of our first Pre?idenV Mr, Davis. In tie old Union he and I . always thought differ ently and acted with different, political parties. I was not prepossessed in bis favor. He was not originally my first choice for his: present high position. Furthermore, since his election, , it a single old political friend of mine, in thisQtaie, haa received a civil commission at his hands, I am to. this hour not aware of tha fact. These things aro" not' calculated to win a favorable judgment; but I experience a "Muse of self-respect when'I reallz j aa I do the fact that I -am capable of lifting myself above all these petty, but too often popular considerations, and can judge the President by the merit of his ability and patriotic motives, and by the principles of his administration. Tbu3 judging him, I declare to you that if I had' now to select a Chief Mag istrate fur tbia trying crisis,-1 should feel it a duty to select J effarson Davis. I concede.the charge sneeringly made, that he is neither a Caesar, nor a Cromwell, nor a Napoleon. He is nobler than either and greater than all, because he has respect unto the laws of the land-, and eeeVs to 'establish and not to destroy constitutional government. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says that large bodies of troops will be landed on the South side of Vicksburg and an attempt made to cutoff communication with Texas and Louisiana. In my opinion, .his great desire,; to which all earthly desires are subordinate, 13. our final and complete success in mis revolution. ; Jiln Xiincoln, with all the advantages of a long organized, powerful and well supplied government ; State Executives, e en in the Confederate; $lates, not having- upon xneir shoulders tni , conduct of this gigastic war ; nave pleaded necessity as an ex- cuse ior . exercising extraordinary powers, and have trampled upon constitutional restrictions and individual right. Bnt Mr.J)avis, with all the diadrntage of a new and wer.k government to which 1 have alluded, and witn tbe fearful doom of tbe chief of traitors full before him in caae of failure, has never, yet found it necessary to vio late tbe Constitution of the country, nor to trample upon tbe rights of the humblest citizen. Within tbe boundaries ot law, lv the provisions 01 leguiative grant, and acoordrfce. to the high and ancient privileges of Anglo-American free men, ho has used the sword to the shame and dis comfiture of a million of enemies in arms. By a vigorous policy he lias Jed a newborn nation from weakness to power. By a firm but humane adherence to the great principles of . nations into, whose family we had been refused admittance. he has degraded the faithless excesses of our ad versary to .universal notoriety and perpetual infa my. And. py .me wisdom of an 'accomplished statemansnip, and tne pure rhetoric of an elo quent pen, he baa secured admiration and esteem tor himself and his countrymen in the highest Cabinets anchmoet refined Courts of the civilized world. Even our enemies, usually so bigoted and' selflih, are driven in shame to apply every epi thet of xidicule to tbe awkard blunders of their President, and to admit the ability, the tact and tbe statemanship of the "rebel chief." CONFEDERATE CONGRESS. Richmond, Feb. 12., In the Senate several unimportant bills were introduced.

DEATHS OP CAPTAIN CHALMERS .GLENN AND HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT," MAT- A TOUCHING ROMANCE LN REAL LIFE. , A touching romance in real life is afforded by the deaths of Captain Chalmers Glenn, of Rockingham, and his faithful follower, Mat. Reared together from childhood, Mat had shared in all the boyish pranks and frolics of his master, aad in later life had been his constant attendant and most faithful servant. X)n the morning- of th battle of Boonsboro', Captain Glenn called him to him and said : " Mat, I will be killed in this battle ; see me buried ; then go home, and be to your mistress and my children all you have ever been to me." From behind a rook the faithful fellow watched all day the form of his beloved master as the tide' of battle ebbed and flowed over that event ful field. At last he missed him, and rushing for ward, found the prediction, alas ! too truly verified life was already extinct.' ' Assisted by two members of his company, a grave was dug with bayonets, and soon the eoldand silent earth held all that was dear est on earth to Mat. Slowly and sadly he turned his face homeward, and there faithfully delivered all the messages and valuables with which his master had entrusted him. From that day it seemed a f if his mission on earth was accomplished.

Kesoivea. xnat tne aoopuon 01 tne uonstiiu- r tion pt the Confederate States was of their own I Convention assembled that havine freely assum ed its obligations and duties, we are hound to ob serve them that all attempts from any quarter to bring the State of North Carolina in .conflict with the Government of the Confederate States, are unwise, unpatriotic and mischievous, as evin cing a duregard for plighted faith, and as leading to the most ruinous consequences ; tnat the man agement of the war and the defence of the coun try especially appertain to tbe authorities ofFlhe Confederate liovern men t ; and .whilst we are ready and anxious to me .every effort, and apply all our1 resources both of men and oftnonay to tbe defence ctthe State, (more especially the. eastern portion cf it, now invaded,) still, we consider that detence can ne enectiveonly by a friendly and cor dial co-operation oy tne two governments, and, by each confining itself within the sphere of its legiti mate powers. Wei therefore, appeal to the patriot ic spirit of the people of North Carolina to visit with just condemnation. ;all attempts of the dom inant factior." to pass measure through wthe Leg islature calculated and designed to bring about a conflict between I he State and Confederate Gov ernments, which j if successful, would ' have pro duced the 'most alarming consequencS-placed NorthCarolina in a position of hostility to? her sister 'Statesimposed . on our peoplo. miljiona of taxes J-left the State: isolated and dependent on her own resources' for expelling the enemy from her borders and thus diave exposed us to the der vastation &ua subjugation of our vandal foes.

That we endorse the conscription lav aow in opera ioi, as having been-indispensably necessary at the lime of its pissage, to save our country from aubjugation and ruin that whilst' we regret the necessity for its passage, and admit that in many instances ita operation has been hard and oppressive, yet it was a dire necessity forced on the Government by the emergency one of those great sacrifices which a, people must sometimes make for their own preservation that ita operation ha been successful that under it we ; Northern dates of the 9th instant are received.
