Johnston, 60 . r . . 1 .T: '-' - " Retolr Thit the patriotism and spirit of the NorthCarolina troops, yinced by their prompt and olantary devoikm o themselves afxfsh to the ser vice of the eoantrV, in beyond U praise and 4e serve the unbounded gratiUidV-of the government. ' Mr. Psestdejt : It is with much Stale-pride and T personal pleasttre.at I effeT.thii reeoluiioa for the consideration of Senators,: aad' ask ; their favorable In this great war we need all oar strength. Buf what is strength in wjjt It is not ue mmuiuuo of faint hearts and nerveless arms which achieve success: these are burdens rather than helps.. It is spirit that mores aa army and makes it irresisti1 we. . " These troops bare been In service for years.?TaeJ .are scarred and worn. They are away from their home, where they have much to lore. But they ta-ry not for these. They await not your bidding, but they spring to action' as Bprings the .tiger, from his lair. This, Senators, is strength in war. ' : I wonld be proad of them if these were the sol diers of any other State. When, a few days ago, the Senator from Tennessee offered resolutions ap preciative of like conduct on the part tjf troops from his State, my affections ran out after them. And I erew larter as remembered that Tennessee was North-Carolina'sdaughter.andtbatNorth Carolina, like, mother oUowed herydaugk. ter to bJa little in the front The conduct of these troops, Senators, is in con I 80tiance with the spirit of all the troops from North ' Carolina during this war, and of her people at home as welL Yet malicious rumor has thrown the stain of disloyalty upon her name. It matters noChing that not a man has staid at home who was called to the field ; it matters nothing that they have swelled ever j triumph and staid every reverse: it matters nothing that every legitimate burden . has 4een -cheerfully borne by her people ; it matters nothing that her youthful Executive, called from the field to his responsible position, has so managed her affairs internal and external, as to have obtained the name, " model Governor ;" it matters nothing that her Convention was unanimous and her"Leg!slature provident ; nothing matters. Malignity says she is disloyal, and disloyal she must be. I will npt make the Senate the arena for battling with this malignant charge against North-Carolina. Her reputation is very dear to too. It can scarcely be less so with you, Senators ; but that resolution depends not upon any poor word of mine. She calls np the history of the past as witness of what she is now, and will be hereafter. I do not conceal from Senators that there is 'dis satisfaction in Nortb-Cirolioa. And the question is .again and again asked "What does it mean?" It is easy to tell you what it docs not mean, and quite as easy, but much more tedious to tell you what it docs mean. It doet not mean disloyalty. It means rather an excess of loyalty to the State, without any abatement towards ttie Confederacy. This ought to be satisfactory, at least to all outside of the State. . I will only mention a few of the annoyances which she has suffered. 11 er people are sensitive and spirited ; as easily led as a child, in the right way, because they are a good people. But against the front of offense she stands a giant form'. ' ' ery early in this struggle, an order was sent to North-Carolina, which, so far as I know, was sent nowhere else, to deprive the citizens of their arms, " good, bad and inditlerent" I believe I quote the words : I am sure I have the substance. This may . have been all very innocent; but the impression was made, not unreasonably, that the' purpose was to disarm her, bettiuse 6be was f uspected. Time and again her citizens have been arrested, without warrant and without ennse, and thrown into prisons in Richmond and elsewhere. " : The decisions of her judiciary have not been re spected. Many of the offices in the State, to which her cit izens were entitled by courtesy, if not of rights were filled by obnoxious strancers. . Suspicions, distrusts and threats on the part of me avunoriues, nave coaled ner continually. And Senators hae doubtljss heard, as I have, that it has been gravely considered whether force ought not to be employed to overawe and silence her people. -r-Distrust of her has begotten distrust in her towards them, and now she is alarmed afresh at the dange rous powers which it fe- proposed in Congress to confer. Just now a new clamor is raised against the State, because the propriety of calling a Convention is be ing discussed. I know nothing of that movement, except what is before the public. " Its enemies say it means mischief ; its friends say it does not I suppose its friends ought to know the best But however this may be, let me enquire when was it ever before' that a Convention in North CaroHna was an occasion of alarm to her friends. Was it that first little Convention in Mecklenburg, or was it her Jvit Convention, when she unanimously assumed the position she now holds? I 'speak against no party, and for nonparty : I speak for the State. I siy that whether" she call a Convention or not, or whatever else she may do, will be so marked with jajoprietv, that others in time to come, as in time past, will evince their high appreciation of it by claiming that she was not the first to do it, but that they were. . Appreciate North-Carolina, Senators, as I ask you to appreciate the gallant bearing of theso her soldiers, and her people, whether at home or in the field, will 'be faithtul to every pledge she ever gave you. The resolution being read the requisite number of times, was considered in committee of the whole, and, no amendment being proposed, was adopted, and ordered to be sent to the House of Representative?. On motion of Mr. Semmes, the Senate adjourned. Escoubagement to Fat Yolunteebs. Many of the fattest and bravest men in the Confederacy are afraid tu go into the army lest they should be un wieldly or incapable of rendering service. This is a mistake. Some exceeding fat- men- are now in the service. Geo. Humphrey Marshal served "for two years. But'to Bet the matter at rest, we need only cite the example of Chiapin Vitelli, one of .the ablest Generals who accompanied Ava to the Netherlands..- Stroda says of him, " He was equally dis tinguished 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 protuberant stomach was always supported in a bandage suspended from his neck ; yet, in spite of this enormous impediment, he was personally active on the battle-field, 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. Rich, Whig. Maximilian and the Mexican Crown. The New Toik -Courier publishes the following extract of lettex. from the Archduke Maximilian to General Almonte: " Rest assure, my dear General, that I do not in the least hesitate about coming to you. My res olution has been finally taken ; apd ever since the speech which I made October 8d,- before Mexico and the world, I have only been waiting to take up the reins of authority for the fulfillment of conditions made necessary not by my own dignity alone but by the beet interests of your country. I have al ready assured you of this in my letters of October 9th, and it gives me pleasure to renow the assurance now. You may use this letter as you please to dis sipate all doubts which may still be. felt in Mexico." . The' Duke of Wellington sail that if he knew' anything it was how to feed an army. The general who possesses this knowledge, and exercises it, preserves thereby the health of his troops. . Every general, then, should be a sanitarian. , It is not the enemy, we are told, however numerous or skillful, who effects the destruction of armies. It is fatigue, exposure, want of food, (and, more particularly, jropr food,), want of shelter, want of clothing, want of sanitary prevention. .Let us "feel oar responsibilities towards those to whom wc entrust the defense of our soil aod'pur honor.

Retolvei, That an honest? learned and indepen dent judioiary is an indispensable part of our free government; its authority should be maintained and enforced by the whole power of the State ; and its decisions ought to be cheerfully obeyed by every one as the "laws of the land". Resolved, That the Confederate government is a government -of limited powers, and no necessity or emergency can justify it in disregarding its Consti-" tution, trampling upon the reserved rights of sover eign States and usurping despotic control over the life, liberty and property of its citizens. . Resoloed, That North-Carolina is a sovereign State, and honor, patriotism, justice, and truth re quire her citizens to maintain her sovereignty at every hazard, and without regard to consequences. Resolved, That the partisan spirit and fond ness for power of the Confederate administration, and the wild, inconsiderate, unjust and "reckless legislation and propositions of Congress have pro duced great despondency among the people,' and given much aid and comfort to the enemy ; we therefore earnestly entreat our rulers to respect the rights of the citizen, and by calm courage and wise counsels restore hope and confidence to tb'e nation. Resolved, That a further extei slon of the conscript act by Congress, will greatly endanger the domestic peace and security of the State ; and so dcranga our industrial pursuits as to add famine to the other horrors of war.

At a public meeting at a pUce called' High Point, between China Grove and Coleman's Turnout, on the North-Carolina railroad, in Rowan -county, on the 80th January, 1864, the meeting was called to order, and N. Cook was called to the Chair, and J. P. Rimer made Secretary. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Allen Rose, J. Correll, J. P. Rimer, Abram Secler, and Solomon Klutts, as a committee to draft resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. The comnjjttee re ported the following resolutions which were unap imously adopted : Whereas, The alarmmg and" fearful tendency of the Confederate government towards a military des potism by the enactment ot unjust laws to her citi zens,' is. just cause of complaint ; and, whereas, am ' earnest t -sire on our part, as citizens of a sovereign: and independent State, to restore justice to us as a. State, therefore, Resoloed, That all political power is vested in and derived from the people only that any legislation by ine Confederate Congress, or decision of the ju diciary, denying or abridging -those rights, would be unconstitutional, unjust, and oppressive, and should be resisted, by all constitutional and legal measures. . Resolved, That a 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 a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, or to supercede the civil law upon the plea of military ne cessity, .or to institute a supreme law power, would be revolutionary and despotic. Resolved, 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 a military despotism and -her State sovereignty, for the good of her people she will choose the latter by a Con vention of her citizens. Resolved, That the prompt and decided course of Gov. Vance in maintaining the rightsjf the people and supremacy of the civil over the military law, meets our unqualified approbation, and we embrace the presenras a ht occasion to assure bim that the , people will' in the future, as they have in the "past,, sustain him in the protection of these rights an' , the discharge'of his duty as the Executive of Nor 4h Carolina, and that we mostxespectfully and earn jgt ly request bim to convene the Legislature at aa .'ear ly day, if, in his judgment, the interest" of pi Aople ' and maintenance of our rights as citizens of :4 sov ereign and independent State require it Resolved, That we. endorse the public p' ess in North-Carolina that are in favor of the settlement of this bloody, cruel war by negotiation ; And that a copy of the proceedings of this meetinp ! be sent ' to the Raleigh Standard for publication. After which it was moved and seconr1 ned, for this meeting to adjourn. - - -N. COOK; ( chairman. Jno. P. Rimer, Secretary.. " To Kill-Worms in Peach Tree R oots. Our peo ple do not sufficiently attend to heir fruit trees ; hence the defective character of r uch of our fruit A simple plan for destroying tH worm that infests the root of the peach tree is her , eunt0 annexed, and is at least wdhh a trial. Many a tree m;gbt thus be made icf bear perfectly which Wouid otherwise fail. V Take a small hoe, or other si jiuble implement, and excavate the earth from the 1 itJ!0ts of the tree to the depth that the worms usuall penetrate. Then take about' a pound of unslacke-, j iime broken ipto frag ments ; mix it with the ea ..7th removed from the tree root, and pack themixtur a into the excavation arqund the tree; then pour wat . er upon tne mixture in suf ficient quantity to slake the limb: . The heat evolved by this means, togetb- er with the corrosive quality of the lime, will with . j, a very fesr minutes; destroy every worm, even w nen they have penetrated the :.bnrk;and this with . injuring; the tree.

On Thursday last, two Yankee gunboats ascended Chowan river as far as Ilarrellsville, in Hertford county. About 300 men landed and marched up into the village, burned several houses and destroyed about 10,000 pounds of government bacon which bad most im prudently been allowed to remain there. They also robbed many private houses, carried off tenor 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 boro. Petersburg Express. FOOD FOR THE ARMY. Gen. Lee exhorts his soldiers to endure patiently' the hardships occasioned by. the reduction of ra tions, which he hopes will only be "temporary."1 The general order containing this exhortation is dated January 22d, 1864 six days ago, As Gen. Leo never speaks until it is necessary, we may be sure that his soldiers have suffered, or are likefy to suffer, unless tbl people and government do their duty. We put the people before the government, because that is the.position which they nave 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 Confederacy for Commissary Gcnera.1 1 The President's mistaken opinion does not absolve .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 ot meat enough to feed the army for a year to come what of that t Our. armies suffer none the less on account of this satisfactory explanation -of the reason why they are 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, leep in mud and snow, die in hospitals, go barefoot and endure the inevitable hardships of camps, marches and battles, but we must ask them to starve in the bargain J Can we not suffer a very little in order that they may suffer not quite so much?' Canwelive on half rations, so that they mf at least have quarter rations ? We trust so, indeed. Here is a fact for the consideration of the govern ment Every man who baa plenty of money can always get plenty to eat The government has plenty of money. Which is better, to hoard Mem mi nger's notes, and let the army starve, or buy free ly for the army, and let the people pay the piper f After all,, it is the people's matter, and not Mem mirtger's, Mallory's, Seddon's, or Davis'. Buy food for the soldiers, no matter what it costs. Give a million dollrs for a loaf of bread if necessary. Let the people charge their own prices and pay their J own debt it is their debt and not the govern ment's. Rich. Whig. - White SnAn. The first pair of white shad caught in the Cape Fear, which have made their appear ance in our market, .were offered 'this morning; at $85, but had not been disposed of a last accounts.
