NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The Herald's Raleigh dispatch of the 4th, says: The President appointed a committee on the abolition of slavery, with Mr. Little, a strong Union man, as Chairman, and a committee on procuring general amnesty, with Judge Gilliam as Chairman.

B.F. Moore introduced an important ordinance providing for the election of members of the State Legislature to convene on the third Monday in November, and for members of Congress, said election to be held on the first Thursday in November. Under its provisions, no one is to be eligible to a seat or capable of voting who, being free in all respects, shall not, before the 27th day of May, 1865, have voluntarily taken and subscribed to the oath of amnesty prescribed in the proclamation of President Lincoln, with the purpose to suppress insurrection and restore the authority of the United States, and thenceforward shall have observed the same, or who shall not have taken the oath prescribed in President Johnson's proclamation of the 29th of May, 1865, or who shall be excepted from the amnesty. Laid over for one day.

Several other ordinances for the election of municipal officers, &c., and several resolutions were introduced.

The Convention is wholly and thoroughly Union.

Mr. Little, from the committee on the abolition of slavery, will to-morrow report the following ordinance prohibiting slavery in the State of North Carolina:

Be it declared and ordained by the Delegates of the People of the State of North Carolina in Convention assembled, and it is hereby ordained,

That slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than for crimes whereof the parties have been duly convicted, shall be and is hereby forever prohibited in the State.
