County meetings in North Carolina.

At a meeting of citizens of the counties of Halifax, Martin and Edgecomb, N. C., on the 14th instant, resolutions were adopted for the formation of military companies, and urging the secession of North Carolina, if Alabama and Mississippi shall join South Carolina in seceding from the Federal Union. One of the speakers advocated an alliance of the Southern Confederacy--when it shall be formed — with France. After the meeting adjourned, a number of volunteers were enlisted.
