Public Meeting in Rowan County.


At public meeting at place called High Point,
between China Grove and Coemans Turnout on
the North Carolina railroad in Rowan county, on
the 30th January, 1864, the meeting vas called to
order, and N. Cook called to the Chair, and j.
P. Rimer made Secretary.
The Chairman appointed Messrs Allen Rose, j.
Correll j. P. Rmer, Abram Secler, and Solomon
Klutts as committee to draft resolutions for the
consideration of the meeting. The committee re-
ported the following resolutions which were unan-
imously adopted:
WHEREAS, The alarming and fearful tendency of
the Confederate government towards military des-
.potism by the enactment OF unjust laws to her ct
ZenS, is just cause of complaint; and, whereas,
earnest sire on our part as citizens Of sovereign
and independent State, to restore justice to US
State, therefore,
ResOlOed, That all political power is vested in and
deriYed from the people only-that any legislation
by the Confederate Congress, or decision of the u
dietary, denying or abrdging those rights, would
be unconstitutional, unjust, and oppressive, and
should be resisted by all constitutional and legal
measures.
Resolued, That strict subordination of the mil
itary to the civil law is one of the pillars of repub
lican liberty and any attempt to abridge or destroy
it by suspension of the writ of habeGs corpus or to
supercede the civil law upon the plea of military ne
cessity, or to institute supreme law power, would
be revolutionary and despotic
ResoLUed, That North Carolina, as a sovereign
and Independent State has the right to consult the
present good and future happiness of her citizens,
and when she is forced to choose between military
despotism and her State sovereignty, for the good
of her people she will choose the latter by Con-
vention of her citizens.
ResolOed, That the prompt and decided course of
Gov Vance in maintaining the rights of the people
and supremacy of the civil over the military law,
meets our unqualified appreciation, and we embrace
the presentas fit occasion to assure him that the
people will in the future, they have in the past
sustain him in the protection of these rights ana
the discharge of his duty the Executive of Nor h
Carolina, and that respectfully and earn' st-
ly request him to the Legislature at ear
ly day, if in his Judgment the interest of pr ,ople
and maintenance of our rights as citizens of 20 SOW.
ereIgn and independent State require it.
ResOlued That we. endorse the public p ress in
North Carolina that are in favor of the set element
of this bloody, cruel war by negotiation; and that
copy of the proceedings of this meetInP be sent
70 the Raleigh Standard for publication.
After which it was moved and second led, for this
meeting to adjourn. !:

ENCOURAGEMENT TO Fat LUNTEERs.-Many of
the latest and bravest in the Confederacy are
afraid to go into the army lest they should be I'M
wieldly or incapable of rendering service. This is
mistake. Some exceeding fat. men are now in
the service. Gen. Humphrey Marshal served for
two years. But to set the matter at rest, we need
only cite the example Of Chiapin Vitel one of the
abIest Generals who accompanied Ava to the Meth
erlands., Stroda says of him, He equally dis
tnguished for his courage, his cruelty and his cor
pulence The last characteristic was so remarkable
that he was almost monstrous in his personal ap-
pearance. His protnberant stomach was always
supported in bandage suspended from his neck !;
yet in spite Of this enormous impedimenL he was
personally active the battlefield and performed
more service, not only as commander but as subal-
tern, than many younger and lighter men,"
Be of good cheer, therefore, fat men; procure
your bandages, and go in.-Rieh. Wing.

speech which l made October Sd, before Mexico and
the world, have only been waiting to take up the

The Duke of Wellington said that if he knew

TIE YANKEES ON THE CHoWAN.-on Thursday
last two Yankee gunboats assembled Chowan river
as far as Harrellsville in Hartford county. About
800 men landed and marched up into the village,
burned several houses and destroyed about 10000
pounds of government bacon which had most i'm
prudently been allowed to remain there. They also
robbed many private houses, carried off ten or
twelve mules and killed some that they could not
get away. As they were returning to the gunboats,
some of our cavalry came upon them, killed several
of them and wounded others Only one of our men
was wounded (slightly)
Harrellsville is about two miles from Chowan
river, and about twenty miles below Murfrees-

FOOD FOR THE ARMY.

Gen. Lee exhorts his soldiers to endure patiently
the hsrdships occasioned by the reduction of ra-
tons, which he hopes will only be Temporary. y
The general order containing this exhortation is
dated January 22d, 1S64-six days ago As Gen.
Lee never speaks until it is necessary, we may be
that his soldiers have suffered, are likely to
suffer, unless the people and government do their
duty. We put the people before the government,
because that is the position which they have always
been called on to take in times of emergency, and
which they must take now.
What if Northrop is thought by the President
(and by him only the best man in the Canfederacy
for Comnissary Generall The Presidents mistaken
opinion does not absoVe us from our duty. What
if ninety vessels did run into Wilmington harbor
within the past four months, and brought mean
whisky and Yankee notions instead of meat enough
to feed the army for year to come-whst of that ?
Our armies suffer none the less on account of this
satisfactory explanation of the reason why they
suffering.
The truth is this: if there is meat and bread
enough in the country to feed the army, the army
must have it. Is it not enough to ask the soldiers
to shed their blood, lose their lives, sleep in mud
and snow die in hospitals go barefoot and endure the
inevitable hardshps of camps marches and battles,
but We must ask them to starVe in the bargain? p
Can we not suffer very little in order that they
may suffer not quite so much? CAN'T we live on
half rations that they may at least have quarter
rations? We trust so, indeed.
Here is fact for the consideration of the govern
ment. Every man who has plenty of money can
always get plenty to eat The government has
plenty of money Which is better, to hoard Mem
mingers notes, and let the army starEe buy free
ly for the army, and let the people pay the piper
After all, it is the peoples matter and not Mem
miriger's, Mallory's Seddons, or Davis. Buy food
for the soldiers, no matter what it costs. Give a
million dollars for loaf of bread if necessary. Let
