The 3Ist Regiment.

During the Juror agains: the Standard which
prevailed among certain ambitious officers of the
North Carolina troops in August and September
last, and which was fomented and encouraged by
the administration at Richmond, a meeting to de-
regiments. This meeting, like others, was fraud
lent in its design and action, the men having
Iothlng like fair play shown them by the officers
We received at the time number ofletters and
bal messages from friends in the 31st at Charles
ton, acquanting US of the facts and denouncng the
unfair manner in which their real sentiments had
been stied by the officers. A resolution declaring
false statement we had made that large majority
of the 3lst endorsed our course, was passed. as we
were informed, but by no meaps fairly; and anoth-
er resolution denouncing us in still stronger terms
was f'0ice voted down by a large majority. But by
misrepresentation the Colonel of the regiment him
sell, as we are informed, taking an active part
against us many of the soldiers becoming vexed
at the manner in which they were trifled with and
imposed on, and refusing to vote, it was assumed
by the officers that the men had pronounced against
US, and publication to that effect was made in the
Charleston papers.
We knew at the time that at least two thirds of
the regiment approved our course but we preferred
to remain silent and await the action of these brave
men at the ballot-b box. They have spoken, and the
result is triumphant rebuke to those officers who
in the meeting referred to tried with their feelings
and misrepresented their views. They hare sus-
tanned the Standard by a majority Of one hundred
and r0tes out Of three hundred and sir-
teen. The entire Destructive vote polled by this
regiment for members of Congress is not more than
seventy, while that polled for the Conservative can
ddates is not less than two hundred and forty Capt
Turner received 115, Lieut.. Fuller "a, Mr. Christian
II, DR.. Leach Is, and DR.. Warren %; and Mr..
Arlington received %, Mr.. Starke 20, and Col Nc
Rae only votes. Our statement, therefore, that
twothirds of the regiment approved our course, has
been endorsed by the regiment itself We are salts
fed and not only satisfied but proud of the result
1t will not do to call these brave men traitors and
"Holdenites." They are no mans followers but
they are patriots who have left home with all its
endearmen:s to do battle for their country, and o
die If necessary, in camp and on the field, in de-
fence not only of teir friends who remain behind,
but of those cowardy skukers who are branding
their friends, and who would brand them, if they
dared, as traitors 20 the South
The 3lst regiment has spoken, and the Standard
has been sustained. We thank you, men of the
3lst from the bottom of our heart; and We assure
you that hereafter as heretofore the Standard will
be true to the best interests and honor of our dear
old State, and true 10 you.

The "Scum of Societv.n

The Charlotte Bulletin in its issue of the 31st
October, said
" In the 8th District our able Representative, the
Hon. VIM. Lander is opposed by gentleman who
is being supported by the Holdentes, EN- bracing
with few exceptions, the scum of society-men who
have done very little if anything towards sup
porting the Confederate government since the war
began, and who ready to accept of any sort of
compromise with the Yankee government, rather
than take the field in defence Of Southern rights or
risk Yankee raid upon their pigs and mich cows"
The answer to the above is that Dr. Ramsay beat
Mr.. Lander in the army vote in the Counties of
CleaVeland, Rowan, CASTOR, Catawba, and in Mr.
Lander's own County, Lincoln; and he has also
beaten him in Lincoln and CASTOR At the time of
writing this it is more than probable that Dr. RAM
say is elected. 1t would be sad thing if maiori-
ty of the soldiers and people of the sth Congress
sional District were the of society" and OF
posed to their own country. Is not the Editor of
the Bulletin ashamed of himself?

We call the attention of the Richmond Enquirer
the Richmond Sentinel the Richmond Dispatch,
the Petersburg Register the Fayetteville Obseruer,
the WadesborOugh Argus the Salisbury Watch
man, the Army Convention, the administration at
Richmond, and all others who take an interest
in the views and course of our people, to the fact
that the Conservatives have carried North Carolina
by large majority. And we especially call upon
those newspapers that published the Army Address,
and refused to publish our Card after we were mob
bed, which was the result to large extent of that
Address, to observe the significant fact that the
Conservative candidates for Congress have polled
majority of the army vote The Standard has been
suppressed for months in the army of Virginia
men who receive it by hand, in letter envelopes
from their friends at home compelled from fear
of being punished by their officers, to read it by
stealth-the footsteps of our sick and wounded SOL
diers in Virginia have been logged by government
detectives, and when they uttered a word in ap-
proval OF the Standard or Its course, they have
been put in the guard house for 1.-THE whole pat
ronage and power of the administration at Rich
mond has been brought to bear against US, and c
have been mobbed by Confederate soldiers with
arms in their hands, and commanded by Confed-
crate officers; and yet in the face of all this, the
course of the STANDARD has been triumphanty sus-
tained both by the people at home and our brave
soldiers in the field These facts ard the result
that has followed them, furnish food for reflection
Think of it, gentlemen.

The Latest News.


No change is announced as having taken place in
the position of the opposing forces at and near Chat,
tanooga. There are vague rumorS afoat that Gen.
Bragg contempateS falling back.
Nothing new from Gen. Lees army.
The firing by the enemy still continues on Char
lesion. Fort Sumter is pretty well knocked to
pieces but our forces still hold it, and the Confed
crates seem to think that Sumter is strong as ever
for defensive purposes. The place holds out remark
ably WELL
We clip from the Progress of Monday the follow
ing rumr of contemplated advance by the enemy
from Winton:
A RuMoREp ADvANCE-A gentleman who ar
rived inths city Saturday night brings lnteIll-
ence that ten transports landed troops at Winston,
Hertford county, on Thursday morning last and
that they were marching on MurfreeSboro. Ii this
intelligence be true, and have no cause to doubt
it we fear the people of that section OF the State are
TO be subjected to another damaging raid The force
is too small to attempt advance on W elden, un-
less there are more than those landed from the ten
transports alluded to- We hope we have sufficient
force in striking, distance to compel them to take
water, and that it will be done Immediately.
P S.-We are indebted to friend for the follow
ing, lett at our office last night:
FROM WELDON.
RALEIGH. Nov S.-Advices by this morning s
Weldon train state that ten Yankee gun boats had
arrived at Winton last Friday loaded with troops.
It was thought another expedition of two thousand
cavalry and fifteen pieces Of artillery were destined
for some point. An adequate forco had been sent
to check the vandalS
We have no dJubt that the amplest arrangements
will be made to meet and drive back the enemy at
this point The protection of Weldon is of the first
importance to the country.

81 repeat that if we allow Lander to be defeated
we shall have trouble here at hSme for the dsloyal
will feel encouraged in their ratOrOus conduct. If
those who are the bold and unflinching friends of
the government and administration are defeated in
this election then the Yankees will feel encouraged
toinvade our State in all directions and continue
the war for our subjugaton and ruin, and thus the
war will be prolonged"
The above is an extract from a communication in
the last Charolette Democrat, urging the people to
turn ont and re-elect Mr.. Lander to Congress- If
Mr.. Lander is defeated as we trust he is, we shall
see whether 1--WE shall have trouble here at home"
This is the same old cry that was raised against
Gov. Vance's election. The people were told that
he was not true man-that he did not fight as he
ought to have done at Newbern-that he was not to
be trusted because Holden supported him-and that,
if elected, the enemy would be so encouraged that
his forces would be in Raleigh IN six weeks from
the day of his Inauguration. But the people turned
deaf ear to all this, and gave Gov. Vance So 900
majority. The Yankees have not reached Raleigh
yet, nor is it probable they will, if Gov. Vance can
prevent it.
After this experience Of the fasity of their charges
and predictions, it might have been reasonably ex.
pected if the Destructive leaders could be regarded
as reasonable beings, that they would to make
such silly appeals to the people. But persons who
all passion and TO reason seldom learn any thing
and never profit by the past. They like the bee
or the wasp confined in q room, and seeking for the
/ open air through window pane-they strike their
heads against it for the hundreth time and never
learn their mistake until the window is hOisted and
they are let out; and when confined again in the
same way, they go through similar butting against
the glass until again humanely released

Yesterday morning, about O'Clock,
DR. Buliard, "ne Of the most emine Mt
physicians Of the State, and most konored
of our citizens, died at his residence in

was contracted 10 camp last December,

but never so far overcoming his intense
energy Is to entirely prevent bis attention
to his large practice. When the news of
Gen. Grants battles in the rear of Vicks-
burg reached here. Governor Morton,
with characteristic premptness. made ar
rangements to send down a corps of sur
geons and nurses to take care of the
wounded, and requested DR.. Bullard to
take charge of it. The Doctor, though
very weak, and feeling sort of present.
ment that the trip would be injurious, il
not fatal to him. willingly consented, for
he never stopped to consider himself when
the good Of others was in view. He
started, though he really should have
been in bed, and his indomitabe will car
ried him to his destination in spite of his
suffering. But during his stay at Vicks-
burg he was compelled to make journey
through the hot sun, and with no conve-
nience for his enfeebled condition, to
Gen. Grants headquarters, in order to
carry ont the purposes Of his expedition,
and the exposure brought on q renewed
attack Of his disease. 1t almost or quite
prostrated him, but he continued in charge
of the expedition till its termination by
the return to Evansville. There he fell,
never 70 rise again. His devoted wife,
as noble woman ~ ever blessed any
mans life, Immediately went to him and
continued with him till he was thought to
be able to bear the journey home, and
they came home on Tuesday night. No
