JOINT PROCLAMATION FROM COM. COLDS.
BOROUGH AND GENERAL BURNSIDE TO
THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

ROANOKE IsLAaD, N. O., Feb is, 1862
The mission of our joint expedition is not to
invade amy Of your rights hut TO assert the au-
thority Of the United States, and 10 close with
you the desolating war brought upon your State
by comparatively few bad men in your midst
Influenced infinitely more by the worst passions
of human nature than by any show Of elevated
reason they are still urging you astray to crafty
their unholy purposes.
They impose upon your credulity by telling
you of wicked aud even dsbolical intentions on
our part; of our desire to destroy your freedom,
demolish your property, lberate your slaves,
injure your women, and such like enormities-
oil of which, we assure you, is not only ridcu-
lOns, but utterly and wliully false.
We are Christians as we'll as yourselves, and
we profess to know full WELL and to feel pro
fOundly, the sacred obligations of that character
No appTehenaions need be entertained that the
demands ofhumanity or justice will be disregard.
ed We shall intiict no injury, unless forced to
do SO by your own acts, and upon this you may
confidently rely.
Those men are your worst enemies. They, in
truth, have drawn you into your present condi.
tion. and are the real disturbers of your peace
and the happiness Of your hresides.
We invite, you in the name Of the Contitution,
aud in that Of yirtuous loyalty and civilization,
to separate yourselves at once from these maligu
influences, TO return to your allegiance, and not
compel us to resort further to the force under our
control.
The Government asks ouly that it's authority
may be recognized; and we repeat, in no
manner or way does it desire to interfere with
with your laws, constitudonally established, your
Institutions of any kind whatever, your property
Of any sort, or your usages in any respect.
