The committee withdrew and returned in short

WHEREAS, On the 2sth day of September, 4. d.
1861, to our surprise and modification, an order
from Col j. G. Martin, Adjutant General OF the
State of North Carolina was read, directing that
this regiment should, in future, be known as the
10Th regiment of North Carolina volunteers there
fore,
Be It ResoIrcd, That having been the first regme
from North Carolina to enter the State OF Virginia,
the first regiment from any State to meet and re-
pulse the invader the first regiment to receive the
appreciation Of our cOuntrymen, by resolutions OF
their national and State Councils, and having been
entrusted by the people of North Carolina with
flag upon whose folds is inscribed the first regiment
of North Carolina by the hands Of our counrymen,
and that having been exposed to the dangers of but
tie and endured the hardships Of camp in thissour
only campaign, the first regiment; we do hereby
enter in behalf of those whose graves may be seen.
humble though they be- in sight of their trials and
abors in the name Of those whose enfeebled health
atests their patience and fortudc and in the name
of those who yet live proud of their appellation and
of the associations of which it reminds them, our
most earnest protest against this change.
ResOlred, That we have shown by all of our &C
tons since the call for volunteers earnest desire
to promote the good of the cause, and that while we
are still willing to make further sacrifices for the
same purpose, We are not willing to surrender our
name to minister to the caprice of any one or to
subserve the convenience of few office Clerks and
that we will never submit to such an imposition I'M
til We have exhausted every means of redress con-
sistent with our efficiency aud character
The resolutions having been read and adopted, the
meeting adjourned at 10t, a. m.

SIR:-In Wednesdays Issue of the Standard,
find my name included in the list of candidates for
Congress in the third Congressional District am
not candidate; nor have ever given the least in
tination to any one that would be. 1t is trne,
friends have urged me 10 consent to the use of my
name in connection with that post, but have inva-
rably declined, assigning among other reasons that
now is not the occasion Cor youth and nexperi-
ence to control our legislative halls. The tented
fell is large enough for the ambitious youth of the
country, and the young aspirant who seeks honors
in the forum nor, rather than the field, is unwor
thy of honors in either place. The forum needs
wisdom tempered with age and experience. The
tented field needs the vigor of manly youth" You
will please make the correction in your next issue.
Yours, respectfully,

October Z, 1861.
Mr.. EDITOR Having learned that report is in
circulation to the effect that Corporal j. w. Nc
Daniel, of Company Z, Goth Regiment n. e. Vol
unteers, short time since deserted his company,
was arrested brought back and placed in confne-
ment, We take the very earliest opportunity to
state that there is not the shadow of truth in the
report and that those who originated it knew it to
be he Mr.. Mcdaniel has been, and We are sure
will continue to be- of the truest and best SOL
diers in the company. Ever at his post, and ready
at all times cheerfully and faithfully to perform
every duty devolving upon him, he is an ornament
to the company, and is not now, nor has he ever
been in the least suspected of being untrue to the
cause in which we are engaged. No Southern man
is more completely Southern in all his instincts,
sentiments and principles; and when such men as
Mcdaniel desert We shall despair of the indepen-
dence of the Southern Confederacy. Yes, Mcdaniel
is a man of unblemished moral character, of the
highest integrity, and model soldier, and is well
known as such to all who are acquainted with him.
We cannot imagine how any one could have sunk
so low as to put such a falsehood in, circulation
lie is low-minded, ungenerous, contemplate per-
son. He is no doubt an infamous coward-enjoy-
ing himself at home, in the midst of pleasure and
plenty, while Mcdaniel is undergoing the privations
of soldiers le-its sickness and sufferng-its ex-
posture in storm and rain, in heat and cold-and
ready to meet and drive back the invaders of his
country Who is the author of the malicious false
hood? He shall not with impunity make himself
known as the author of the report. s

QUEER.-We learn that so of the blankets sent
from this place used to fit out a company at
Raleigh from Brunswick county. What we regard
as queer about it is, that any company should have
started from home without supply of blankets
that the people should have allowed such thing.
As to the particular appropriation thus made, we
have no doubt that it will be altogethe, approved
of by the donors, who, though they probably anti
cipated the sending of their blankets and socks to
some OF those who already in the colder climate
wherever they could be made serviceable to our
brave soldiers.-Fay. Observer.

WHY HAVE THE LAWS NOT BEEN PRINTED ?-Ts
there such person at Raleigh as a State Printer
If so, why have not Laws tina: were enacted at the
Regular session, and the called term i'm the Spring
been made public? What is he for but to publish
the Laws within reasonable time? We learn from
a member, that the Legislature recently had to
draw from memory, what was transacted at the ses-
sion which assembled in the Spring! Who knows
what is law? How are the people to be governed
by law? But for the acts which have leaked out
through the newspapers, from time to time, the
legislation OF the past two years would be a sealed
book. Again we inquire what is the use for State
Printer? Is he employed for party purposes, mere
lyT Is he Prime Minister to the present Governor
as he was to the late incumbent? to be consulted
and give advice for re dstrcting the State electing
Senators, &c. The people desire to inquire into
these matters, and when they understand them cor
rectly, perhaps they will correct the abuse The
State Printer-for learn that there is such Der
sonage-hndS ample time TO volunteer his services
IN behalf of has party although the laws remain I'M
published Party, with him, is supreme, the peo-
pie who pay taxes and support Government-Roth-
ing! But in this, the dog only resembles his mas.
ter; and the master bears strong resemblance to
the dog. The officials about Raleigh, some of them,
had been too much taken up with party, and secu-
ring the oaves and fishes to pay any particular at
tention to the welfare of the State.
Until Party in the State is crushed out, politi
Clans and demagogues will usurp the high places.
and the people will be burdened with heavy taxes
to the end of time, and cheated of their liberties in
the bargain. The man who is a party man, and an
peas for his success for any office to party in the
Confederate States, is demagogue and cheat, and
should be Stunned by honest men.-IredeH En-
