Shareholders Of North Carolina have no
doubt that shareholders are "the SOLE
CAUSE OF THE WAR;
The Raleigh Progress mentions that
two COME erate officers were sent from
Richmond TO get up a meeting TO de-
nounce Hon. w. A. Graham, Mr.. Holden,
and others; but they robbed DR.. Riddick
of $1,000, aud when searched, one Of
them Capt McDanieD remarked that it
was id hard that an Alabama captain
should be searched in such a d--a Aho-
lition hole as North Carolina The Pro-
gress adds that they were searched, and
that the money was found on their per-
sons, and they were committed to Jail
The Progress requests the sheriff, in the
event the meeting they were sent to get
up should be called, to let these "jail
birds cut long enough to address it,
The most intense excitement pervades
every portion of the State, and the reso-
lutions of public meetings are drawn up
in the most striking and forcible man
ner We print below specimens:
The people of Chatham, Orange, aud
Alamance, held large convention, at
which the following pointed resolutions
and others were passed:
RESOLVED, That we will cast our suffra-
ges for no man to represent us in the
Congress of the Confederate States, who
declares himself opposed to negotiation
and general peace convention.
RssOlUed, That no man shall stay at
home and advocate secession who uses
his influence to get other men into the
army, and his money to keep himself out
Resolved, That we are opposed TO send
ing any more men to Congress who are
| IN favor of prosecuting the war until the
| last man is killed and the last dollar is
up mt, ercept thenlselvss and their dollar
On the Ithe-lAw, requiring one tenth
| the proda % OF every Ia mer, thi
Convention,
hcSOtUcd That we do not intend IT, pa,
tithes TO Bradford or any other person
The rebel CONSUMPTION aw having x
mpted each owner of twenty negroes, on
the plea that it would take one white man
to every TWEEN y negroes to keep them in
subjec ion, this convention,
ResolUed That DE exemption or the tOen-
tv negro Ian ought not 10 haze been passed as
they are tie very men that ought 10 be in the
fe d. fighting 10 protect their property, for
there is no doubt that they are tho sole Cause
Of The loar.
ResolUed, That, in our opinion, Mr.. Da-
Wis and his Cabinet and Congress ought TO
take the field with General Lee and his
army.
RESOLVED, That we do not expect 20 re-
ceive anything fair or honorable from tie
Government at Richmond.
RESOLVED, That we believe that the ed
itor of the Richmond Inquirer, and John
Syme, (of the Raleigh Register and John
Spelman, (of the Raleigh State Joarnal)
ought to be put in the army, there to stay
until peace is made, and all the leading
destructives with them, for they are do
ing more harm than good.
Tbs Standard also contains the pro-
ceedings of a second peace meeting in
Iredoll county. We quote three of the
resolutions.
Resolved That negotiations for peace
in time Of war, like a motion TO adjourn
a public assembly, can never be ruled
out of order.
Resolved That in our opinion il would
indeed be fearful alternative, as a last
resort, recommended by ga Mstron" IN
the Iredell Express, to become colonies
of France, a nation which has abolished
the institution of slavery throughout her
dominions, and a people more tickle and
more given to mob law thsn any other
nation on earth, and a nation who have
within the present year placed a despot
of the house of Austria upon the throne
of Mexico, (if there be throne.)
Resolved That one or two of the former
editors and compositors of the half sheet
published at Statewide, known as the
Iredell Express, can, in our opinion, be
better spared to reinforce Gen. Lee than
any persons in our knowledge.
The people Of Wilkes county have held
a meeting and resolved that they are
opposed TO paying the 1.-THE lax to Vir-
gilman, or anybody else but If compelled
to pay il, we do pray the privilege Of
paying it in Confederate money"
The people of Chatham county also
held a meeting, at which the following
resolution was adopted:
ResolUed, That we are in favor Of any
and every means that can be employed
TO bring about an honorable peace be-
tween the parties engaged as speedily as
possible, without the shedding OF any
more blood, even If zoe must c0nceae part
Of hattOhich zoe claim as our rights.
More than half OF the paper is taken up
with the proceedings OF meetings in the
middle and western counties Of the State,
in which appear the names Of the most
influential and pro ninent cit2ens, and in
which resolutions similar 70 the above
