We have desired to make no military pets,
having had our share in the general
warning that, to cast hero in "endur-
ing brass" is not a wise thing to dc
until the subject is carefully selected and
proven. Far better keep the clay
model damp, and well covered, and
let time pronounce and prove the man and
lis work. In SO far as words Of welcome
can a1noothe the way for a commander,
and words Of cheer and hopefu1ness have
their influence On community and in his
army, to the end Of gathering within his
hands all the lines of power and influence,
the parent Of military success, ve have
dcsiredsnot to be remiss; and if more than
that, has in our view been needed from the
less grateful task Of exposing what We
deemed faults and hindrances to success
in any General, We have not shrunk.
But We blindly pin our faith to no com.
mander, and advise to hold the laurel
crown high poised until the race Is won.
We have hoped that to Gen. Rosecrans
would be given the honor Of staring
a victorious army ut the shores Of
the Gulf We followed him trust
fully through the months that inter
vcned between Stone River and the
Chicksmauga. That this battle which
cost US seventeen thousand men was fail
ure On the part Of some one, cannot be
denied. 1t is easy to declare upon whom
would have descended the laurels had
Bragg and his army fallen into our hands.
To discuss the adjustment of blame is not
our purpose. The changes that are an.
nounced in that department are significant
upon the point.
The change has been made, based upon
the main fact some weeks ago recorded in
the history OF the war, our defeat at Chick
amauga. The reports that lave reached
the country through the press have placed

CONVENTION OF NORTH CAROLYN A
SOLDIERS

/
A Convention of the North Carolina troops o,
Gen. Lees army was held at Orange C. H, Va.
on the 18th inst; for the purpose of rebukng the
trcaoheroas proceedings of some Of the people OF
the great State who are led on in their folly by
bad and revengeful men, The brgades represent.
ed in the Convention were those of Gems Davis
Stuart, Hoke, Lane, Pettigrow Iverson Ramseur
Daniel and Scales. The resolutions adopted by
the Convention set forth, in substance:
r list That our separation from the Northern
government is final aad eternal, and that "we dc
rot intend that the action OF any portion of our
people at home shall bind our hands as to make
iurt4er resistance on our part impossible"
"a That We cannot comprehend the base feel
ing that would return TO the embrace of an enemy
VINO has carried on war Of invasion against us for
more than two years, coupled with every savage
lntIctlon which he has had the power to impose.
81 That while the soldiers are sacrificing even
their lives for our independence, their friends q;
home should not cast chill and gloom on their
hopes by untimeiy repinings aud base eauings
towards submission; that we would be untrue to
our principles, untrue to our wives and children.
who would be the greatest sufferers by submission;
untrue to noble dead, untrue 10 our interests,
untrue to our State, untrue to our Confederacy,
and untrue to the cause of freedom, now to sub.
nit to the domination Of such as rule the Northern
people, and that We fear their rule more than their
wrath
/ 4th. Condemns the action of various county
meetings recently held favoring the OF
the enemy.
5th Denounces the course Of the Raleigh
Standard, and pronounces as false the statement
made by its proprietor that his course is approved
by a large number of the troops from North Caro-
lima.
9th. Suggests that the public authorities OF
North Carolina should take measures for the sup
preston Of the paper named well as others that
follow, if it should be found that true patriotism
in the State had far lost its hold on the minds
and hearts Of the people as to be unable to check
the course of these disloya Journals.
9Th. That we heartily approve Of the noble and
patriotic course of Gov. Vance in the struggle for
our independence; that we are willing to entrust
the honor and integrity of cur State in his hands,
and that we confident he will not betray his
trust.
A committee, consisting of Co.'s. Garrett jones,
and Grimes, appointed to prepare address
to the people of North Carolina, and then tho
meeting adjourned. A correspondent writes:
The meeting was not boisterous, but calm, qnict,
and deliberate, and seemed to be fully impressed
with the Importance Of the object which had.
drawn them together. Meetings of a similar
character have also been held in all the regiments
by the officers and men. All the speakers seemed
to take the ground that the people at home who
we're getting up these meetings were the men who
do not want to come out under the proclamation of
the President calling for the forty to forty five men

DIsHONORING THE CURRENCY.

| few days ago one of our acquantances offered
to man Confederate Treasury notes in payment
| for note falling due. The offer declined
the holder expressing his determination to retain
| in his possession the individual obligation Our
| friend appealed to for counsel We gave him
the advice which follows, and as it was well con
sidered we have no objection to putting it upon
record for the benefit Of any who may under like
circumstances be asking what they must de- We
advised our friend to take two witnesses and to
present to the holder of his note the amount which
was due in the currency Of the day, and if he re-
fused !; to announce to him that he would paw the
note afterwards only under the sternest COM
pulsion.
Every man who expects to be worth anything
when the war is over should be Jealous advocate
for the Government. But in dishonoring the
currency he aims blow at the very vials Of the
Confederacy Treasury notes are the only means
which We have of paying our soldiers, of buying
clothing and provisions, of purchasing munitions
OF war, of procuring transportation in short, OF
carrying on our entire operations, both civil and
military pisparage these, destroy their standing
with the people, and you clog the wheels Of all en-
terprises you arrest the whole machinery, you
entail financial anarchy upon the people the
fearful harbinger of civil anarchy and of subj uga
ton. Government without credit cannot stand
long in the presence of such foe the one
threatening Though we might continue to
struggle, it would be like the feeble and irregular
resistance of crude and undisciplined rabble
against the trained columns of the invader To
result so deplorable LET every reflect that be
is contributing whenever he declines the common
currency of the country.
Why, then should any say will not take
Confederate notes in payment of debts? Our
very seifshness should restrain us from such a
suicidal policy If there is not patriotism enough
LETT in the hearts Of creditors 20 bonor the issues
of the Confederaey during its fierce conflict with
the foe, let some less worthy principle produce the
result. Let that regard which every prudent man
must bestow upon his own interests prompt him to
beware of doing aught which bring disaster
upon the people. But surely every patriot will
say, The money which soldiers receive, the
currency paid to the who bare their breasts to

NORTH CAROLINA CoAI.-We have seen a
specimen of anthracite coal, discovered on the
farm of Mr.. Wade, in Rockingham county, North
Carolina. The coal appears to be very good, and
has been so proven, we understand, by the proper
test. The vein now worked is only six feet under
ground and three feet thick. Col B. NJ. Jones is
engaged in the operation Of mining this coal, and
the work is progressing under the superintendent
of Mr. Ambrose Barret practical miner. The
Upper Dan River Valley, in which the above mine
is located, has been known for some years to con-
tain coal basin of considerable extent, and it was
considered that anthracite coal was the predomi-
nant deposit. Should this impression prove to be
correct in other openings it has in the mine of
Wades farm. the coal field of this region will be of
very great value to the Confederacv v.-Richmond
