In addition to Bates of Missouri, Cabinet places have been offered by Mr. Lincoln to Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, and Robert T. Scott of Virginia.--N. Y. Evening Post, Dec. 31. the Raleigh Standard says: North Carolina still commands us to obey the Federal laws and to respect the Federal authorities. Up to this moment these laws and these authorities have breathed nothing but respect for our State, and have offered nothing but protection to our citizens. It will be time enough to talk about levying war and capturing forts when the State shall have dissolved her relations with the Union. She has not done so yet, and we trust that no such step will be required. She is too brave to run out of the Union under temporary panics, and she is too wise to commit herself to revolution for the purpose merely of imitating the examples of other States.

A writer in Washington says: In conversation, this evening, with several of the North Carolina delegation, they inform me that they had been aware, for some time past, that the small squad of secessionists in that State had been for weeks past concocting schemes to seize the Federal property, which, perhaps, might have been consummated without the knowledge of the Union men of the State, whereby the latter might possibly have been drawn into it; but having been advised of that fact, the membcit confidence in the honesty and ability of Gov. Ellis, they also sent a dispatch to him to quell all such insurrections, and it is believed he will use all his power to prevent an outbreak. They also state that there need be no alarm as to North Carolina taking any such precipitate action. It is recommended by these members that a convention be immediately called to discuss this question, and to present some plan for the adjustment of all these difficulties, and thus save their State from be

The Raleigh (N. C.) Banner, urging an attack upon Washington, says:-- The army of the South will be composed of the best material that ever yet made up an army; whilst that of Lincoln will be gathered from the sewers of the cities — the degraded, beastly offscourings of all quarters of the world, who will serve for pay, and run away as soon as they can when danger threatens them.--Idem.

On the route South, into the secession States, your baggage is examined, not directly upon your crossing the line between North Carolina and South Carolina, but at Florence, S. C., which is the inspection point. The cars ran up to a tall pole bearing the flag of the Confederate States. Then comes the revenue inspector, who calls out for passengers to hand over the keys of their baggage. Each trunk is taken out of the car, and its owner furnishes the key and aids the inspector in turning up the contents, and satisfies him that there is nothing contained in them. There is no getting off from this, and no feigned loss of keys nor bogus pretence of rusty locks can save you. No more offensive thing can be done than this to an American citizen in the United States, and it is one of the very last acts to which they will quietly submit.--V. Y. Express, April 29.

nd that Seward held the reins of Government. Another despatch subsequently arrived, which recited that Maine and Vermont had refused to send troops out of their States. When those announcements were read by the people, who assembled round the newspaper offices, there were loud demonstrations of applause. But those remarkable flattering despatches did not stop there; they were followed by others, which declared in large capitals on bulletin boards of those journals, that the famous New York Seventh Regiment, with another corps from Boston, tendered their services to Jefferson Davis to fight against the Black Republicans of the North; and that they had chartered a vessel, and were proceeding on their way South. This was followed by the welcome announcement that Maryland, Tennessee, and North Carolina, had passed ordinances of secession. All these reports were duly credited — not a professed skeptic appearing among the tens of thousands who heard them.--Boston Transcript, April 30.

Oh, wait not for argument, call, or persuasion, To meet at the onset this treacherous invasion! Defend, defend the old North State forever; Defend, defend the good old North State. Oh, think of the maidens, the wives, and the mothers! Fly ye to the rescue, sons, husbands, and brothers, And sink in oblivion all party and section; Your hearthstones are looking to you for protection! Defend, defend the old North State forever, &c. “Her name stands the foremost in Liberty's story!” Oh, tarnish not now her fame and her glory! Your fathers to save her their swords bravely wielded, And she never yet has to tyranny yielded. Defend, defend the old North State forever, &c. The babe in its sweetness, the child in its beauty, Unconsciously urge you to action and duty! By all that is sacred,

herokees, lately called a council of the Indians, and explained to them the condition of the country. The chiefs discussed the matter, and said, after consultation, that although they did not understand the national difficulty, they did know North Carolina, and would stand by her. They were ready for any position in her defence. This is most remarkable. Out of a nation of 1,500, they muster 200 warriors for the defence of North Carolina. The Cherokees are expert riflemen.

Out of a nation of 1,500, they muster 200 warriors for the defence of North Carolina. The Cherokees are expert riflemen. They know nothing of military tactics, but show them their work, and then they have only to be told when to cease fighting. They fight their own way, and every man for himself. The Zouaves are ready at a moment's notice.--Charleston News, May 10.

In Dixie Land I take my stand, To live and die in Dixie! Away! away! away down South in Dixie! Away! away! away down South in Dixie! The sovereign State of Alabama Will try her hand before they lam her; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie Land! So will our Mississippi brother, And Georgia, too, our mortal mother; Hooray! hooray! hooray! Dixie land! And Louisiana then will come, And Texas, too, will help us some; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie Land! And Arkansaw, with her tooth-picker, Will help us out a little quicker; Get away I get away! get away! Dixie Land! And next, Old North Carolina State, And, after that, what's good and great; Hooray! hooray! hooray! Dixie Land! When Lincoln gets on a Southern brake, We'll give him a touch of the rattlesnake; Get away! get away! get away! Dixie Land!

, reckon I wanted to get out of the way. Sure's you're born, they're just like devils — they don't mind shots. Lord, they went down the street, where they cut, an' slashed, an' shot. Our boys run like the devil — then, J---s, you ought to have seen 'em cut up the street again — like blue devils — it makes my blood cold to think of it. They shot every way — knocked us from our bosses, took our pistols and sabres away — my G-d, how they fit. Why, sir, I'll swar on a Bible, them South and North Carolina fellows that's with us ain't no account. They won't obey nobody — no discipline — you'll lick them every time. There was much more of the same sort, and I send you this specimen, profanity and all included, so you may know what the rebel prisoners think, and how they talk. I asked him what the rebels thought of our volunteers. Well, said he in reply, they think you New York men are just as bad as the regulars, but they hain't much opinion of the rest. --N. Y. Tribun
