ALAMANCE COUNTY DECLARED TO BE IN A STATE OF INSURRECTION.

In consequence of recent outrages in Graham, an account of which will be found on our first page, Gov. Holden has issued a proclamation, declaring Alamance County to be in a state of insurrection. This proclamation is issued under authority of the recent "Act to secure the better protection of life and property." Our readers will remember that we strongly opposed the passage of this act at the time the bill was pending before the legislature, and, through these columns, appealed to Gov. Holden to abandon it. We feared then that trouble would result from it, and we fear so still. We hope, however, that such will not be the case—that all these violations of law will everywhere cease, so that there will not even be a pretext for the use of troops in the State.
