MEETING OF sURRY CONSCRIPTS.

Abortion of the Conscripts of the 73d Regt,
Surry County, being on their march to Raleigh, and
encamped for the night at the Courthouse in Win
ston, held meeting at which the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
/. Rssolosd, That we are willing and believe it
to be our duty to obey the Conscript law, and to
make every sacrifice necessary to secure the inds-
pendence Of the South. Yet we hold that justice
requires that the law should be strictly and Impair
tally enforced against every person coming within
its provisions.
Q. Resolred, We are mortified to see portion of
our fellow. Conscripts, who are equally liable and
interested With u.s. endeavorng to evade the law, BY
slipping into old forges, ore pits, wood and coal
yards and many of them men too, who one year
ago. could not have been induced to 60 into any OF
them.
8. Resolued, That we think it very strange that
certain Post Masters and Others who could perform
all the duties Of their Offices and positions, without
aid up to the time of enrolment, should suddenly
find it necessary to appoint one or more assistants
and deputies.
Resolped< That we are astonished at the num-
ber of schools which have suddenly sprung up, in
every part of our Regiment, under the charge of
stout Young men, who have had little or no expe-
rence in teaching heretofore. We think that the
law and justice requires that they should march
with us to the battlefield, and leave the old and
ladies to teach the children.
3. Resolued That we regard all contractors,
manufacturers and Others who take Conscripts into
their employment, for the purpose Of aiding them
to evade the law, as wanting in good faith to the
South, and preferring their own private interest
to the public good and safety.
G. Resolued That we request those having charge
of the matter, to compel eeery one, liable as con-
script in our Regt to take his place in the ranks
with us. That if the law is fully and impartially
enforced, we will cheerfully make any and every
sacrifice, required of us, necessary to secure the
rights and independence Of the South.
Z. Resoloed That the proceedings Of this meeting
be published in the Sentinel, Journal, Standard,
and all other papers favorable to the cause ofuste.

we unhesltatingy pronounce every word of the shove
an unmitigated fasehood We profess to have uretty
thorough knowledge of tho sentiments of the North Caro-
Tina troops and of our people, and we doubt if there are
ten men, it in srmy who hold the views attributed
70 them by Coreoran The time was when the attachment
OF ne people of North Carolina to the old Unon was as
stong as 1t should have been But the unjust and cruel
usthe nsneery and the atrocious conduct
1ankees have turned this attachment into hatred No man
among US OF common intelligence desires any
neeon with the old Union in any FORM But the great
oooJ OF our people are equally opposed to tyranny from
any quarter as they to Lnconism or any future a-
tion with the Yankees.
The remark has frequently been made during this war;
even by professed Democrats We prefer Military Die
tatorsh awe had rather be under the control of Queen
Victoria or Louis Napoleon the Car of Russia" These
must not be taken evidence that the great
body OF our people doubt their capacity for sefgevern
men or that they tired of American constitutional
liberty They will not submit to Lincoln tyranny-to the
tyranny ofa Military Dictator of their own-or to the ".

Conederacy under the Constitution as it is and nothing
else 10 maintain this they will spill their blood and
