Davis District attorney of the Confederate States,
in and for the State of North Carolina. We learn

RESOLUTIONS OF REsPECT.-We frequently
receive resolutions of respect from companies in
service or in camp, passed on the death of some
member We do not publish them for the reason
that our columns would soon be overrun in that
way. If we publish for one we must do so for all.
Besides, doubt the propricty of such tributes in
time of war; If resolutions are passed the
death of one man, they should be FOR all-privaes
as we'll as oficers-and any body can see how much
trouble that would be- 1t is not right to pay
particular marks Of respect to one and not to
Others when all are engaged in the same patriotic
cause and undergoing the same privations. The
soldiers memory should be and no doubt will be
treasured in the hearts of his fellowctizens, and
no especial action is necessary at this time. The
man who goes as private, leaving wife and chill
dren behind, and falls in defence of his country
is as much deserving of particular respect as he
who occupies higher position. If we publish long
obituaries and ''trbutes of respect We should have
but little room left for war and other matter.
The Richmond Wing very properly suggests that
all emblems of external mourning be dispensed
with for the present

GRUMBLING.-A writer in the Raleigh Standard
seems to consider it great crime that George v
Strong, of Godsboro, should have been appointed
District Attorney, and not Robt. ?. Dick Of
Greensboro, who held that office under the late
.. S. government. This is no time to be grumb
ling about such matters that. Wait till the war
is over, and then the grumbers and fault-fnders
may spread themselves Mr. Strong will at least
make as good officer Mr. Dick made, and he
is just as much entitled to the position Com
plant has also been made that Mr. Dick not
re-appointed Director in the n G. Railroad
The fact that Mr. Dick, or Mr. anybody else, once
held an office, is why he should always

RIFLE REGIMENT.-Mr Saml E. Phillips pro-
poses, as we learn from his card in the Raleigh
papers, to raise regiment of rifemen in this
State, to be armed with the home manufactured
hunting rife He says such regiment will be
accepted by the Government.
We fear that propositions to raise large bodies
will keep many out Of service altogether Those
who 90 ought to go and join some company
being formed or raise company if they and
offer it as company. Don't wait tor regiments
they can be formed after the companies are
collected at Raleigh or elsewhere.

From YoRKTowN-We find two letters in the Tarboro
Mercury from the LIST Regiment N. c. Volunteers at
Yorktown. One is dated July 22d. 1t says:
1.-The noble self-sacrifcng sisters of mercy who
have come here to nurse the sick and suffering soldiers
at the hospital are doing much good. Too much can
not be said in commentator OF the SISTER OF Charity
like spirit which prompts these patriotic ladies TO offer
themselves living sacred sacrifice upon the altar of
their countrys There are, believe, two from
Richmond, three from Louisiana and two from Char
lote, N. c. No but suffering soldier, away from
the kind hands and aectiOnnte OF mother, wife
sister and daughter feel or properly appreciate the
hallowed influence radiating from their cheerful pres
ence. In deed and in truth may call them sisters
Of mercy.
There but few very bad cases of sickness in
hospital now.
Two ladies from Edgecombe \. Co. and ono from
Richmond, arrived here last Friday to tender their
services
DR. Hines, however, informs me that as many kind
ladies as he can accommodate with lodgings, &C. were

impossible for him to secure houses, or any klud OF
