May 5. Raleigh, North Carolina, is alive with soldiers, who have been pouring in at the call of the Governor. Sixteen companies, comprising twelve hundred men, rank and file, are encamped at the Fair Grounds, and there are several more quartered in other parts of the city.

of the State, reaffirming her loyalty and devotion to the Constitution of the United States. The Convention met at Hatteras.

Register of this date, has an editorial which begins by saying that it would be criminal as well as idle to deny that the present is the most gloomy period that the South has witnessed since the commencement of the war, and the editor in the most earnest manner calls upon the people to remain by their colors and fight to the last.
