At meeting of the troops of the S0th N c. reg
iment held at headquarters on the 27th,of January
1864, the following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas an unjust attempt of radical party in
the United States, to subvert and overthrow all con-
.st.utional guarantees and rob US of our property
honestly obtained1 did 6rst force US to withdraw
from an alliance no longer binding; and, whereas,
they did deny US that right and have attempted to
drive US back into q reunion that we detest by
wsging against US unparalleled in history for
its atrocty and vindctiveness spirit and, where
as we have learned through Northern papers that
the despot who reigns at Washington has induced
large numbers of his present army, by the induce
ment of large bounes and broad promises, to re-en-
list and is offering extraordinary inducements to cit
liens of foreign nations as we'll as of the United
States to enlist to 6l the ranks of his army thus
clearly defining settled determination to subjugate
at all hazards; now, therefore, we do unani-
ously
ResolUe, That viewing our cause just and
holy one, we declare ourselves reenlisted for the
war in the struggle for that liberty and independ;
euce so dear to every patriotic and honest heart;
that our watchword shall be liberty, and we exhort
our Congress and the President of the Confederate
States to listen to no kind of terms that fall short
of our complete and untrammeled Independence =
Res0lced, That we have the most unbounded con-
fdeuce in our gallant chleftain, General Robert E.
Lee and will cheerfully and willingly stand by him,
through storm and sunshine, until the prize for
which we are contending shall be acknowledged by
all nations.
