What shall be done with them 2

Judging by what We have read and heard
there are class Of persons in North Caro-
lima, as well as elsewhere, who, BY the bye.
never have, and for aught we know. never
will volunteer TO fight the battles of their
country, are, nevertheless, seiZing every
opportunity to denounce both our officers
and the men who are fighting, because per.
haps, what they may have done or promul.
ged, does not suit their peculiar notions.
AS one Of The conductors of the Journals
of the State we do not regard il improper
to express our opinion and suggest what
ought 80 be done.
Our military, those who have sacrfic ed
all for the good of their country ought not
to submit to the reproaches of those who
remain ut home yet are physically able to
serve in the army. When the regulations
or movements of their officers or army is
abused by scribbers for newspapers or
street corner Generals, detachment ought
to be detailed Immediately to arrest the of.
fender and hang him until his body is dead
Those who have determined to remain at
home and critic:se and abuse our brave vol.
unteers, (whO have left the ease and com
forts OF home, TO say nothing Of their pa
rents, wives or chiIdren,) ought to be regar
ded AS their most impIacable enemies and
treated as snch--they ought to be speedily
put out of the way.-Charlone Bulletin.

to meet again in November
The question of placing an embargo on
cotton, tobacco, &c is said to BE- now un.

Therefore Congress will probably not pro
