The 3lst Reximent.

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, q meeting to de-
nounce US was held in the 31st as well as other
regiments. This meeting, like others, was fraud
lent in its design and action, the men having
nothing like fair play shown them by the officers
We received at the time number of letters and YER
bal messages from our friends in the Slst at Charles
ton, scquaintng us of the facts and denouncng the
unfair manner in which, their real sentiments had
been staed by the officers. A resolution declaring
false statement we had made that large majority
Of the slst endorsed our course, was passed. as we
were informed, but by no means fairly and anoth-
er resolution denouncing in still stronger TERMS

Misrepresentation, the Colonel of the regiment him

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 had pronounced against
us, and publication to that effect was made in the
SAf"AAS PoPOAos
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.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 haoe sus-
tanned the Standard By a majority Of one hundred
and sirtyeight votes out of three hundred and sis.

regiment for members of Congress is not more than
seventy while that polled for the Conservative can

"Holdcnites." They are no mans followers, but
they are patriots who have left home with all its

Is it possible that Mr.. Lincoln is offended with
North Carolina? Why, those who believe the
charges made against the so.cslled Holdenites are
ready to conclude that Mr.. Lincoln has majority
of friends in this State and is well pleased with
North Carolina. We are glad to find the Journal
changing its tune, but that paper will lose favor
with its Destructive friends if it does not persist in
the charge that Mr.. Lincoln is pleased with the
Holdentes and that the latter are about to deliver
the State into his hands.
