In accordance with the expressed desire of the Southern Inter States Immigration Convention, held in Asheville, N.

The object of the convention is to secure a united effort on the part of the citizens of North Carolina to co operate with the Southern Inter-States Immigration Bureau in developing the natural advantages and making known the great oppor tunities offered to capitalists, manu facturers, and to the honest, lxw abiding people who desire to secure homes in a genial climate, among a hospitable, moral and Christian people. (8igned) Thos. M. Holt, Governor. Drink Limeade at Bobbltt's. The State Convention. The State Convention called by Gov. Holt to be held in Raleigh on the 13th of May next, is 'one of the most interesting and, in certain as spects, most important, ever proposed to be held in the State. It is purely an industrial movement in connection with the Southern Inter-State Expo sition to the held here beginning on the 14th of October next and continu ing until December 1st, and is design ed to secure active co-operation with the Southern Inter-States Immigra tion Bureau.already actively at work. Much is expected from North Caro lina, a prime factor of success in the enterprise. But all the otherSouthern States will be represented here; all the Western States perhaps, and probably all the Northern States. In fact the whole Union will be here to see what North Carolina will do, and if she is going to make good her boasts. Let the Convention be a full one; and when it is over, let all go to work with the purpose of surpassing ex pec tion. The Great Slaughter Still Goes On.
