Rebel Military News in North f Carolina. The Western Part of North Caro- lina Invaded by Union Cav- alry from Tennessee, Ren he, Our Newbern Correspondence. Newnan, N. ©., Oct. 22, 1863. There is good reason to believe (hat a commissioner, in ® semi ofiicial character, on the part of the government at Raleigh, arrived here by a Inte flag of truce, where Purpore it is to sound ur people upon a proposition long entertained by the moderate and conservative influential men of North Carolina. The gentioman referred to as oc cupying this semt-officia! position is said to possess a commanding influence in the Raleigh counsels, and is uni versaily esteemed a bigh toned aud honorable man, aud 4 conscientious advocate of the purpose he entertains: one who takes a calm and dispassionate view of the preseut uo. happy @iflicuities between the North and the South, and who, believing that a porsistence in the prevent struggle can regult in nothing but disaster to both sections, is ready 10 Tend the weignt of his iwflaonce and moans, and the power Of bis intellect, to bring about some understanding among the authorities and the people on each side, so that both may fully comprehend the meauing and the extent, and, if permitted to centinue, the pore ble end of the existing direfol condiet. Not only (and | feel assured of the cor- rectno’s of what fam stating) does this gentleman repre. kent the sentiment of the prominent conservative men of North Carolina, including sone of the highest rebel official dignitaries, but the object of his mission, if @ miasion it may be term d, meets cordial sympathy from some of our own highest military and civil authorities. It may be opposed by radicals and extremists on both sides, but if fairly entertained by the con siderate and roleeting men of the country it cannot fail of being productive of oue good thing, and that }» to open a way for the peopte of both sections to express (her opinions for or against the continuance of the war, under the ligbte and for the apparent purpores it is at present waged. And there is another class that endorses the movement—a Class that ie as numerous i other sas it is in North Carolina, a class that believes it bettor ty be at the head of the yeomanry than at the tuilof the gentry. Without further preface I will state the purpose of this gomi-official commissioner, as far as ut present developed. 18 1s, briefly, to sound oar people apcn the propriety and feawibility of the essembling of # great national conven, tion, at gach time and place, and under such stipulations, safeguards and guarantees, as may be agreed upon by special Commissioners to be appointed for the parpose by both the contending parties. Furthermore, it is ex preesly to be understood thaty if such convention should be ordered and boid and delegates from all parts of the country aenemble thereat, tho results of itw deliberations shall be presented to the poopie at large, who, through frew ballot, unawed by military, and held to no personal responsibility for the vote they may cast, shail express themseives citner in favor of or againat the propositions determined upon. Feveral considerations are urged to commend this pro position of » national conveation to public favor. It wil! be sacertained whether there be any other mode o settling our troubles than by the arbitrament of the sword; whether we can preserve the Union by any other means; whether the war is (o last two or twenty years, or @ contury ; whether the Divine spirit of mutual forbearance and forgiveness, harmony and Tee nciliation, has deserted us forever an one people; and, lastly, whether such a comyention cannot be held, in volving such momentous consequences (o ourselves, our and to the world, without the exhibition of ae fan fecling and prejudices which have heretofore distia- guished and disgraced some of our national political con- ventions, One thing t# tolerably cortain, in any event, and that is: neither side will be apy worse off alter such A Dational consultation on the merits of the war and for the settiement of mutual grievances shall have assem- bled and been disseived than it was be’ore, ard its de liberstiona may be productive of incalculable good to the country and to the whole of mankind. TWO INDEPENDENT REBEL URPARTMENTS IN NOKTIC CAROLINA. From information recently gathered from rebel sources , it is ascertained that the authorities at Richmond are exercising reaewed interest in the affairs of North Caro. Nea, and that preparations on an unusual scale are making for @ contemplated campaign against the Union forces in the State. Two new and independent departments have been «stablished, viz—1. The department of Wilmington and the Cape Fear region, under command of General W. H.C Whiting. 2 The balance of the State, under the command of Major General George E. Pickett. Poth these officers are gradunten of West Point, and were formerly oMfcern in the Unitea States army.
