WELL AND TRULY SA1D.-The Progress of Mon
day last says:
"Much has been said about the influence of GER
tain papers and meetings in North. Carolina, and
that the cause has been injured by the sentiments
of the one and the action of the other but the course
of Congress, since the commencement Of the pres
ent session, has raised clamor for peace through
out the length and breadth of this State as far in ad
vance Of the feelings created by the meetings held
last summer as an Egyptian pyramid is superior to
a piglny ninepin; and if the people are permitted
to vote at the election in August next no man can
secure their suffrages for place or power who is
not pledged to contend for the personal liberty Of
the citizen and to favor and urge negotiations with
the enemy for an honorable peace. The first month
of the present session of Congress has done to
dispose the minds of the people Of North Carolina
for peace than all that newspapers, meetings and
politicians have done since the war commenced,
and they will not again vote for or confide
in any one who will not represent their views
This people have poured out their blood and treas
ure like water and while they would by no means
sheathe the sword thinking that the time has come
when selfinterest as well as honesty demands that
an earnest effort should be made to stop the inhu
man butchery which bids fair to devastate both
sections they intend to exercise their rights IS free
citizens of sovereign State. North Carolina has
been true to the Conederacy and only asks that the
Confederacy be true to her; and come what may,
she will never surrender her own sovereignty or
consent to the ensavement of her citizens upon the
plea of military necessity"

from one to two colored regiments, with 80 white
officers, ~ of whom were put to death others

patronized the Fayetteville Obssrrer but owing to
his blind zeal in upholding the rash measures Of
jeff Davis and his proselytes at Richmond to tie
utter neglect of the rights Of good and glorious

the Standard as being the great exponent of the
rights OF the people. We bid you go on-the peo-
pie will sustain you"
We are constantly cheered by letters like the
above, from all parts Of the State The people are
with US in this crisis, and against the O6serpsr-
