We learn ha: the 5lst regiment n C. T. in the fight

bly, well. None of the field staff officers rured
One Lieutenant in company "E was killed, wounded
asd Captain wounded. There quite number of pr
Yates killed and wounded; but have not heard the
names.
We also learn that the loss in company G'' Captain
Lippitts) is quite small. This company is mostly from
Wilmington We expect to get full particulars shortly.
MANY MONTHS ago took occasion to express our
solemn lotion that such supported by
such people had been could be lost
1t could nsver fail unless alb andoned or betrayed
Since that expression was made we have seen as dark
yea darker hours than this many them ret they
shook faith in the final triumph Of
On the contrary very dfeas disasters tended
only to strengthen tho belief that such people could
not be conquered. From each fall there fresh
boand exhibiting in the strongest light the ndomabe
spirit of people, and showing of what efforts such
people animated by such spirit, capable.
And the occasion of each revsrse to has
forth the voice of the croakers, disprtng our
soldiers and citizens telling them that there is
trying, that whipped and they told These
people doing all that they to defeat the
which the South engaged They doing all that they
to procure abandonment of that cause. They
exaggeatins all the evils CT the struggle all the
to our arms They preaching peace when in fact
terms of open but those of absolute sub
mission to IoCLN and SEWARD the observance of North
the people OF Beast FULLER Brute MRoY Dog RosEcKAN
etc. This is the entertainment TO which the soldiers and
the citizens of North Carolina invited To abandon
now counsel s abandonment virtually to be-
tray What that judgment of an honest and
virtuous people pronounce.
Peace At tie very the purest pulses CT the
throb Peace The return of husbands and fathers to
their wives and children of sons to their parents of broth

IN vain Why, it would cry out from the very ground
against peace founded upon submission LINCOLN and
reconstruction of Union which North Carolina through
her Convention soemny and unanimously repudated
y than brief years ago. Has the war in its
developed such amabe traits character of our
Northern Brethren that we should now be apxious
to be taken back to their embrace CORY with the blood
people, foul with the mire of plumber and rapne Shall
gallant soldiers be disbsnded and returned home
tleir families only to find themselves and their postery
vlssals of the North tributaries, appendage worse than
ccIonists ?
All our people favour peace fair terms but he who
talks about with the Lncooite Government
fair terms upon any terms short of absolute
mission, moral and physical eubugation talks wide
mark LINCOLN has already refused conference designed
to bring about an arrangement whereby the could

While such spirit anmates the Federal Government what
We ask, could expect TO result from making our Con-
gessonal elections the proposition that Congress
shall appoint Commissioners to others the part of
LINCOLN Suppose Congress should appoint such Com
mssoners ell the capacity in which LINCOLN agree
to receive them would be that of suppaHts crawling
footstool ready cast The honor liberties their
country under his feet and offer for his deleutson the
heads of President DAVIS and other rebels charger
Some may like that sort OF thing-we don't.
We have had enough of angry discussions North Caro-

We tell people plainly and candidy that we know
there is organized movement on foot to control the
Congressional elections in all the districts. We say
in all sincerity that If this movement means any
thing, it means Observation-Disclosures. We
