Newbern, N. C, July 17. The Department of Virginia, by a recent order from tlie Secretary of War, lias been annexed to the Department of North Carolina, Major General J. G. Foster, in command, who leaves for Fortress Monroe to organizo bis command. If the government will furnish him with a respeetable forcé, vvhich it has tbus far been uuable to do, importaut results will at once be realized. The Raleigh Standard is in favor of a reconstruetion of the Uuion, and thinks the probable terms of reconstruetion between the North and South will be the adoption of a general emancipation system by the robellious States, which North Carolina, in common with the other slave States, will accept, if the federal government insista upon the same as the only terms that eau be granted, notwitbstanding the lift of the institution is not in the least impaired by the war, as generally believed at the uorth. Nothingbut a great standing army between the masters and the slaves could impair the institutiou, ocer which is thrown the shield of state and municipal laws, together with the inherent will of the southern peoplo. Henee these terma are the cheapest the government can offer, and the bost the south can accept. The Wilmington Journal, an original secession sheet, in speaking of the aasembling of the North Carolina Legialature upon the eall of Governor Vanee, ostensibly to consider the qaestïon of the Confedérate currency, charges that other and more important objects occasion the called session. It bitterly denounces the reconstruetionists, as intending to use the Legislature as a means of accouiplishing other purposes. The Ealeigh State Journal alleges the discovery of a secret political organization, whose purposes are most infamous and treasonable, which bas doubtless ramiiications througbout the State, and says that developments may swiftlv be made, whieh will startle the most apathetic.
