PUBLIC MEETING IN HALIFAX.

PUBLIC MEETING IN HALIFAX.
At meeting of the citizens of Districts 3, 7 and
IA, covened at Greenwood, Scotland Neck, N. c.,
on the 9th instant, Lemuel L. Savage was called to
the Chair, and Wm Fenner appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained by W.
j. Hill, ESQ.,, in few forcble and appropriate re-
marks.
The following persons, c. NJ Clark, Thos. Jones,
Samuel Hyman, Alfred White, P. E. Smith, NJ. T.
Savage, N. G. Pitt, W. R. Smith and H. B. Whit
more, were appointed a committee to draft resolu-
tOnS
The committee, after retiring for short time re-
ported the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolred, That we have heard with establishment
of the capture of Fort 1atteras from the assurance
of those placed in authority and our confidence in
theu we were induced to believe that our Coast de-
fences were ample-indeed more than ample for our
security.
Resolred That we have reason to believe that the
proper authorities have been warned again and
again that our Coast defences were totally made
quate for the purpose and yet they neglected then
and persisted in their neglect although ample means
and resources were at their disposal.
Rcsolred, That under such circumstances, we hold
those in authority, on whom the proper measures
for defence devoved amenable to the censure of the
people, and they should be held responsible for the
sacrifice of the lives and liberty of the gallant de-
tenders of Fort Iiatteras
Resolred, That we think they have greatly erred
in the administration OF their offices from some
cause, and that justice to ourselves and proper
gard to our lives, liberties and fortunes
quire that in future they should act with more
promptness, decision and circumspe"tion.
Resolred. That the Editors of the Raleigh Stand.
ard, State Journal and Raleigh Register be request
ed to publish these proceedings.

PAY THE SOLDIERs.-Is the soldier to serve his
country without reward? Are the officials, who
sleep on beds of down and cat and drink and make
merry, to receive their fat salaries and the poor
soldier who sleeps the wet ground with one blank
ct and eats the coarses fare when he can get and
then mounts guard at midnight and in the cold and
rain, and marches, at the first alarm of danger, and
stands up as living wall against the shot and shell
of the enemy-is he to receive nothing? 1t would
seem from the way the volunteers IN this part of
the State have been treated. The Washington
Grays, who have been in the service over 4 months,
have not been paid. Some Of them have not cent
They must beg or starve. 1t is true they have kim
bred and friends. But they should, they must be
paid The poor fellows who were taken prisoners
at latteras were hurried off without their trunks
carpetbags, &C., which were at Portsmouth, and
uithout money. Who can imagine their sufferings,
if they shall be kept in captivity in the old hulk
Brandywine, at New York, whittier they have been
carried through approaching winter? Would that
some of our officials could be put in their places
through the winter.
Some of Capt Leath's company have informed us
that they have nothing with which to buy such
things they absolutely need and to pay for their
washing If a poor soldier is sick and cannot cat
the fat meat and rough bread, the common soldiers
daily fare he must grunt and bear it; look at the
coarse fare and turn away with prayer upon his
lips that God may bring him better days, or with a
curse in his heart against those who withhold the
little means that would buy him the necessaries he
needs.
Pay the soldier if it takes the last cent in the
Treasury. Pay the soldier at once Washington
