81 approve most heartily of the course the Stan
dard has pursued since the Presidential election of

productive of much good, and do not hesitate to
give 1t as nay opinion that you WELD, through your
paper more influence with the masses of the peo-
pie than any other twenty men in the State fur.
thermore believe that two thirds of the people of
the State if not three ourhs, in fact approve and
endorse your course.
The original secessionists hereabouts affect to be-
ese (alth0ugh they freely confess themselves to be
greatly in the minority now that as soon as the war
shall have ended, there will be reckoning" and
that all the ante 6ellum Union men will be put
under the ban of popular displeasure and condem:
nation. But the wish is only father to the thought
The truth is, the feeling of opposition to original Sc
cession so far from being on the wane is constant
" on the increase. Many have told me that they
were deceived and mised in voting for secessonists
before the war; that they now realize the fruits of
it, and that if God will forgive them they will never
vote for man again who was an original secession
ist They admit that the Union men were the
wiser and more prudent, and that they had rather
trust them hereafter in places of trust and respon
sbiity The conservative party is stronger than it
was year ago, and the longer the war lasts the
stronger it will grow. Nor is this the result Of any
spirit Of disoyalty with our people for they all re-
cognize the inexqra5ie necessity Of accomplishing
our independence. They all know that when we
left thsold Bnion painful as the thought may be
with many, we burnt our ships behind-that there
is no such thing as a return with safety. But
it IS the result of conviction in the popular mind
too firmly fxed to be eradicated that the old Union
could have been preserved with safety and honor,
had it not been for the persistent and unhagging
efforts OF the secessonists to prevent it. The peo-
pie, therefore, hold the original secessionists re-
sponsible for the and all the consequences that
have flowed from 1.-THE bloodshed, all the attend
ant horrors the privations and suherings of the
people, and the immense taxation of our people,
even after peace shall have been restored, to fine
fortieth generation. Look at that picture be- ore
the war, and now look at this since the wsr!--
Imagine the thing on canvass. We were fa' Pre-.

NOrth.Car0lina Troops in the late Battles.
From the firing of the first gun at Great Bethel
up to the present moment North Carolina troops
have done their full duty on every field Their
courage was conspicuous in the late battles of Fred
ericksburg An officer in the I'd regiment writing
to friend in Wilmington, giving an account of the
operations Of Ransom's brigade, says:
Yesterday the brigade onvered itself with
glory. We drove the enemy from their strong po
sition but with the loss of many gallant fellows.
+ Our brigade was in the third line, and 80 was
not called on until the others had advanced; the
aim was to dislodge the enemy from very strong
breastwork made of felled trees. Pryor's brigade
advanced, but was driven back the old Stonewall
brigade moved up with the like result. Now came
our turn, and Ramseurs brigade wss ordered for
ward They advanced at double quick, regardless
of the storm Of grape and minnie balls which fell
around them. Onward went the gallant fellows
until they reached the bIeastworks, and the enemy
were driven pell NELL out of them. Just then the
enemy appeared on our flank our ammunition was
exhausted and We we're ordered to fall back this
was done in good order but not far enough to allow
the enemy to re, occupy their position. The ground
was covered with the dead and wounded. Gen.
Ramseur wept like child on beholdng the shat
tered remnants of the noble brigade, whose ranks
were full fifteen minutes before. Our regiment
went IN with nearly 1our nuEQred men, anu now
one hundred cannot be mustered, and every one of
the absent is either dead or wounded. When
our brigade came Oft of the fight, Stuart ordered
cheers for it Gems Rodes and Ramseur each made
speeches Stuart told Ramsvur he ought to be
Major General "No Sir" said he 81 want to be
Brigadier, and remain with my noble brigade"
And Of Gen. Hoke's brigade in the same battle
it is said that
"a breastwork had to be carried. The men
moved steadily forward. Hoke led them upon the
enemys works, ga& the enemy but zone round of
musketry, and then resorting to the bayonet he
pushed upon the foe with loud cheers, driving them
from the work, back upon the supporting forces in
the rear who, broken and confused with the pres.
sure of their own men, fell back in turn upon still
farther lines of the support causing general rout"
Many Of our regiments were not merely decima-
ted, but almost literally destroyed But the Rich
mond Enquirer says that D. H. Hills division,
composed principally of Vlrglnians, Georgians,
and Alabamians, bore the 5runt of Sundays fight"
North Carolina has mine regiments in that dsuision
Of course the Enquirer did not know this, or if it
cid, i. did not think proper to mention it.
