The Voice of the Army

1t is fact full Of significance and encour.
agement that the "grumblers and GROWERS
have not been found in the army. The brave
men who fight our battles and endure the
priva,ions and suffering of the camp, often
mtre terrible even than battle. have exhibit
ted confidence towards their leaders in almost
I'll cases. AS o specimen OF the voice of the
army, and as rcbuke to the grumblers and
groaners who stay at home to defend and ex-
cusc the right of fiuding fault, we present the
the following resolutions, unanimously adop-
ted at late meeting of the Fourteenth Reg
iment North Carolina, Volunteers. in Firgi-
| MIA:
Whereas, It became nes1ssary, in view Of
tue alarming encroachments upon the most
cherished and dearest principles Of the old
Federal Constitution for the States now c5nl-
posing the Confederate States Of America,
through their respective capacities, 10 pass,
promulgate and carry into effect Ordinances
of Secession and whereas, the Confederate
States, for the purpose Of mutual protection,
did establish a Government, vesting in said
trustee the war-making power, the authority
to raise aud support armies for. the benefit Of
the cestuique trust: now, therefore, be it re-
solved
!. That wa have unboundel confidence in
our Chief Magistrate, Jefferson Davis, tie
Christian Warrior and Statesman.
,. That the recommendation Of the E1ecu-
tive, eventuating in the passage of the Con.
scripion Law, meets our unanimous applause.
3. That the suflerings of North Carolina
from tic incursions of the foe are great but
will not compare with those of Virginia and
other States of the Coniederacy.
t. That the alncrity which has marked the
preparations of the Confederate authorities,
in resisting the recent INVASION OF Our State,
convince us beyond doubt OF the alsurdity Of
apprehensions now manifested by the Leg:s-
la'ure of said State.
). 1hut the passage :. Bill, on its secord !
reading, by one House of the General AsscI
bly, Of North Carolina, calling for ten tho
sand men for State defence, Of those alrea'
ordered into the service Of the Conlederu
States, in direct contraycntion, and TO al
iEe Confederate Congress-, meets with o
unanimous condemnation.

MARRIED FLIRTs.-One of the worst
features Of the modern fashionable society
is disposition to ilirt existing among
the married people of both sexes The
wife arrays herselfin silks and satins, loads
her fingers and ears with jewelry, and
rugged in hounces and laces, lays siege on
some poor puppet arrayed in broadcloth,
who has more money than brains, and
very little of either. On the other hand
the husband plays off his tricks in turn,
and Airts with the reigning bellies until
the smell Of fresh paint and the exhibitions
of maudlin and puerile nonsense slcken him
off the track. In some respects this is
quite harmless and beneath notice. In
others it becomes highly important, and
demands radical and immediate reform.
Social life has much to do with our ma
tional character and movements. As are
the people so will be the nation, as a mat
ter of course; and if there is rottenness
in so-called "high society," it will faint
the whole mass. 1t is a self evident truth
that married people have no business to
"airt," this disposition once INDUCED,
the green-eyed monster takes advantage
of open doors, and finds an easy access.
The husband and the wife have, by the
most solemn VOWS, devoted their lives and
their all to each others happiness; and
those who array themselves for the popular
eye more than for those who are theirs.
and theirs only by the marriage relation,
are traitors. Another thing filtration
carried on by married people not only de-
stroys the sanctity of welded life to a
great degree, but is vastly destructive of
common virtue. What man that beholds
such exhibitions can have the least faith
in that love whichis tabled to exist around
the family hearthstone +? THIS is no trivile
matter, 1t is one of the radical evils of
society. 1t is s tester at the founda-

A DEMOCRATIC BoLT in Connecticut

the staunchest supporters of everything

Last Spring we published the call for
the Democratic State Convention, but
when the Convention, for fear of Eaton,
refused to exult oyei' victory gained by
the Democrat Burnside, at Roanoke, in
which Connecticut troops were engaged,

nominated by that same Convention, we
refused to have anything to do with that
or the nominee We did not vote for or adj
vocate in any form the election of the Re

YANKEE OONsCRIPTIOH,

A Copscrip,ion bill has passed the Yam
kee Congress which has shaken all Doc
dledom to the scry core. The Times thus
speaks Of it:
This measure, which has passed the
Senate, provides for the enrolment and
calling into service, if needs be of all the
sable bodied men between twenty and
Prty-fve. The only exemptions being
the Governors and State Judges, the only
sons Of poor widows and few others
Substantially, rs the New York Times
says, it is putting all ths able bodied men
of the loyal States in for taIeo years, and
all told, the force will number three mill
ions.
The enrolment is to be made by Off.
GERS directly accountable to Lincoln. 1t is
to Re called forth by draft in such numbers
sbd assigned to duty in such places as Lin.
eoln sees fit. No State fsnc.ionaries have
Snhything to do with it, Provost Marshais
| are to be appointed in each Congressional
| h''1''St. WIZ are ~ sec u Tue compete
ness Of the work.
Heavy penalties are imposed for all re-
! sistance or counselling resistance to the
kdrait; in fact, says the Times, every part
the bill bristles with provisions en- suring
is efficiency. The Southern Confederacv
itcontinucs, has put every dollar and eve
~ drop Of blood in its limits at the di, posal
of JEFF. Davis if we are not prepared tc
make similar submission, we might as well
give up our minds for Infamous and ruin
ons discontinue. 1t is glad however, tha,
the sacrifice will be made. The currency
bill will pledge every dollar, and the con.
scription act will pledge every drop o
blood to the national cause. Now for the
first time, it continues, We shall haye the
power Of the nation pilted against that o
the rebellion. It tpredicts now the success.
full crushing out Of the rcbaIIiqn. This
net, it says, furnishes the means of pulver
izing the Southern CoLfedcracy. 1t car
now defy armed intervention and enter a
carfat to the world. 1t now sees the signs
OF ultimate triumph, inasmuch as the Uni,
ted States nov realizes lis strength and its
work.
