The North Carolina Regiment The late

The North Carolina Regiment. The late ac-
counts from our Regiment in Mexico will be read
by nil North Cirolinja6s " iih deep modification ;
they tell of great dissatisfaction Of serious dis,ur-
banci s, and finally of muinous outbreak.
Ffom the tenor Of private letters for some time
past somelhing OF the kind, that is, difficulties,
have been appfehended, bat we were not antic
pating such an unfortunate issue. Before form
ing any opinion as TO The conduct Of Col. PINE,
we ought 10 wait and hear all The facts; he may
have been justified by circumstances in his course
at the time of The disur Dances; the Eets and evi
dcnce when set forth will settle this question. But
the general dissatisfaction ever since tho Rrgi.
ment has been in service, and the recent disturban
ces, show that there is something wrong some
where. Either Col. Paine has been deficient in
military ability, and incompetent for the command
to which he was appointed, or he has had Eery in
subordinate materiel in his command. ....t...
Aside lfIom the causes, no matter what they
may be- that have operated to these unfortunate
suits, public opinion will charge the blame of
what is wrong in the organization and feeling of
the Regiment where it justly belongs, upon the
disgraceful action of the federal majority Of The
last Legislature, the worthy authors Of The MEX
lean whig preamble" and upon the miserable
policy and partisan appointments of Gov. Grahlm
Shuttle and maneuvre as they wifE these bitter
opponents of their countrys war, the aideFs and
abetlors Of Mexico, nust answer hereafter tor ahy
thing that is wrong in the North Caroline Resi-
ment; for If they had no. first raised their voices
to discourage volunteering, and then passed the
Mexican preamble" and then refused to allow
the Regiment to elect their officers, and given
their appointment 70 partisan Governor who had
denounced the war, we should have seen no dis
satisfaction no mutipous Disturbances and although
aothiup can excuse the nsur rbordination OF soldiers
ia the service, still the original authors of bad ae
ton and bad organization in connection With the
Regiment, will find themselves anawerable before
the people of North Carolina for whatever un.
fortunate occurrences may result 10 hinder the eff
