We see it stated that the bad blankets,
shoes, &c. supplied some Of our State troops
have not yet been paid for BY the State,
and Will not be. Other complaints are no
better founded than those alluded to in the
the following letter \ misunderstanding
also seems to prevail as to the power of the
Quartermaster, that officer having nothing
to do with many matters charged to him.
While heretofore allowances ought to be
made for the want Of proper supplies
and any sensible and rejecting man will
make them-we venture to say there will
be little just cause for complaint hereafter

eT Major Anderson's recent trip to-
wards Kentucky showed the estimation in
which he is held by the people for his ga
liant defence of Fort Sumter. Atall points
he was warmly greeted by crowds, and his
brief detention at our station probably af-
forded him reminiscence as gratifying as
any met with. J. w Parker addressed
him briefly, to which the Major responded
in a few words, when fine boquet was
presented to him by Eddie w, for which
he received a kiss, as did any number of

PUBLIC MEETING IN WILKES COUNTY


PUBLIC MEETING IN WILKES COUNTY.
Pursuant to public notice, many citizens of Wilkes
county of both parties assembled in the Court
House IN WkeSboro, on the 22d inst, for the pur.
pose of considering of and expressing their views
upon our State and national affairs
The meeting was organized by calling Col Peter
Filler to the Chair, and Marcus 4. Parks and Calvin
j. Cowles to act as Secretaries
Col Eller called upon l.. B. Carmichael, ESQ, to
explain the objects of the meeting, which he did
briefly, and moved that the Chairman appoint a
committee of five to draft resolutions expressive of
:he views OF the meeting; whereupon the Chair
announced VIM. Parks, Lewis Sebastian. A. A..
Whittenton, L. b. Carmichael, Esq, and Mr.. A. L.
Rousseau, as the committee who retired for consul
tation.
In the absence of the committee Prof. James Fl
Foote was called on for speech, and responded in
patriotic strain, portraying The evils likely to re-
suit from diSunlon, and advising caution and mode
ration. AT the conclusion of his remarks J.
Smith, ESQ.,, was called up, and made conserva-
tive speech, at the conclusion of which the COM
mlttee, through their chairman, L. b. Carmichael.
Esq, reported the following resolutions:
Resotced,-That the Constitution of the United
States was framed by men whose wisdom, patriot
ISM and heroic valor is unsurpassed if not une-
qualed, IN the history of this or any other nation
by men who had, at the time of its formation and
adoption, just emerged from deadly conflict with
tyranny and oppression, the result of which was n
complete triumph of the principles of civil and re-
ligious liberty; that under it we have enioyed un-
exampled national prosperity, and have commanded
the confidence respect and admiration of the world
FURTHER resoIped, That however much we de-

clare that we are determined to maintain our rights
and all of them in the Union if possible and out OF
it If necessary.
, Resolced, That the laws existing in number OF
the Northern States, known as personal liberty
Rlls are unconstitutional and in violation OF the
rights of the South, and that in our opinion, the
Legislature of North Carolina and OF all the South
ern States ought during the existance OF sucn
laws to impose such tax upon the productions,
manufactures and merchandise of such States, as VIII
mako the wrong which they have sought to do US,
recoil upon them, and awaken them to sense OF
justice
Resolred That while we are opposed to dlsso-
linton of the Union simply because of the election OF
sectional men to the offices of President and Vice
President STILL in the opinion of this meeting, the
General Assembly Of North Carolina ought thor
oughy to re organize the Militia and prepare the
State for any emergency.
Rcsolrca That in the present critical condition of
the country it is important that all the slavehod-
ing States shall'act in harmony they should
clearly and solemny present to their sister States,
their Just rights and Constitutional claims protest
against their ineraction and demand proper guaran-
tees for their future protection, and to this end we
approve of Conference of the save-holdng States,
to be convened at some central point, to deliberate
upon the wisest means of securing the rights and
protecting the interests Of the South provided that
the delegates to such Conference shall be chosen
by the people themselves or by the State Conven-
tiOn and provided further that the action OF such
Conference shall not be binding upon the people Of
this State, unless subsequently sanctioned by Con-
ven:ion of the people thereof
On motion, the resolutions reported by the Com
mittee were almost unanimously adopted-only one
voice being heard in the negative.
l. was then moved and voted that the proceedings
of this meeting be published in the American Eagle,
and that the Raleigh papers and others published in
the State, be requested 10 copy.
1t was also moved and carried that copies of these
proceedings be sent TO our representatives. in the
Legislature, tobe laid before their respective Houses
Then, on motion, the meeting adjourned.

pIore the election to the Office of President and
Vice President of these United States of two ndi-
viduas upon purely sectional issues, and by pure
w. sectional vote who are the representatives of
opinions and principles inimcal to the interests of
the people of fifteen States of this confederacy that
still, nasmuch they were chosen according to the
forms of the Constitution by large minority of the
freemen of all the States, we do not see IN their
election alone, sufficient for the dismember
ment of the best government vouchsafed by God to
man.
Resolred, That we are in favor of exhansting all
concatory means consistent with our honor and
rights to preserve inviolate the Constitution and
Union, and although ambitious and designing men
are busily engaged in endeavoring to ALLEVIATE the
affections of the people from just attachment to
the Government ard Constitution, we nevertheless
indulge the hope that through the patriotism of the
people peace and harmony may be restored to the
country, and the bonds of our national Union pre-
served.
Resolced, That the fanatcism pcrvading the North
ern mind meets the condemnation of all Just men,
and has greatly excited the indignation of the
Southern people.
ResOlUed, That il, after exhausting such means as
are consistent with rights and common safety
we are unable to safety in the Union, we are
as ready any people to sacrifice blood and
treasure to maintain and preserve our institutions
out of the Union
ResolUed, That we do not conceive that the call
ing of Convention of the people of this State at
this time to be elected the 7th of February, and
to assemble on the 18th, recommended by ma
jority of the Committee on Federal Relations, at
the present session of the General Assembly, would
be productive of any good results, and instead of
concating, might serve to irritate and infame the
public mind, both North and South.
ResOLred, That in the opinion of this meeting, no
one State has right, under the Constitution, to
sever her connection with the Union at her own
will and pleasure, without regard to the opinion of
her sister States, the action of the General Gov
ernment
The reading of the resolutions was followed by
an able speech from Leander B. Carmichael, Esq,
