We publish to-day the proceedings of the Second and Fourth North Caroltu U-sgimeots, on re-enlisting for the war, and there is no doubt that ail our Regiments will adopt a similar course. The old spirit of 1301 seems to be re-awakened, under circumstances that ennoble it io the highest standard of patiiot jsm and heroism. Unquestionably the men who are thus declaring their resolution to remain in the service of their country, per form all . the arduous duties, and endure all the privations and suffer all the inconveniences of the service, ardently desire to return to their families, their friends and their busi" nesc?. But they exhibit the noble spectacle of patriotism rising superior to self, and f rti tude orercoining effery ill and hardship. Heroic and noble wen ! they grandly illus trate the race from which they sprang and the age i a which they live. Henceforward the world need not torn to the republics of ancient times for examples of the highest types of patriotism and mauhol. They live j and act their parts in our present struggle, and their nam and fame will constitute a portion ot the btighest history of the earth If the North fails to see in this movement tho spirit of a people unconquered and un conquerable, it must be in that stage .f mad- j ue?.a which closely precedes destruction. A people, whose youa?; men are a ui mated by such a spirit, and whose patriotism and en durance cheerfully bravt s and bids dvfiance kr the dangers and severities of such aconllict as that which we are undergoing, can uo more be subdued than can the; iiTepressible wares of the ocean, whi h may have their ebb tide aud; Hovv, but which nerer fail to surmount every i barrier within their reM.sHess sweep. Ilesoleed, 2d, 1 hat we deeply deplore tho exirence of diseotions among the people of our dear old State, exercLstting, as it is well calcu lated to do a baneful infiueuco upon the minds of the weak and timid, and in a great uieas u' neutralizing the heroic efforts of her son's ia the army, to drive back the enemy aud free our territory from their ruthless tread. RetolveJ, 4th, That no troops, in our opinion, have behaved more gallantly, er aided more successfully to accomplish our independence thaulbe sons of North Carolina. Resolced, 5th, That we witness with chagrin and mortification the effort of certain Jactions in oar State to tarnish the fair fame and good name, of our dearly cherished mother. Rtsolvfrf, Wth, That we view wittt mingled feelings of dtiyutt and indignation, the unhalloic cd effort to associut the revertd name of our lamented and beloved chieftain, Jackson, with the traitorous and incendiary resolutions passed by some citizens in Jobnon county, N. C, in opposition to which sentiments this pure, brave, noble aud holy man has sacrificed bis life to bis country's good ; that we regard isuch associa tions as a desecration of his name. Rehntned, 7(h, That we earnestly entreat our good and loyal citizens at home, to turn a deaf ear to the bad councils of wicked and designing men, and to banish them from their midst, together with extortioners, speculators, aud all others injuring the cause for which we are en during such hardships, and exposing our lives. . Rr&jlced, furthermore. That as much as we ardently desire that the blessings of peace were once more extended our distressed land, that so long as an insoleut is enemy invading our soil, we will st-ind prepared with arms in our hands, to repel the invaders at any ami every sacrifice.. These resolutions being unanimously adopted, it wastheu moved that a copy of them bo forwarded, through Oen.

The country swarm ed with a similar class- of people iu the obi revolution, but they were &umrt.arily dealt with -then, as they should be imw. L'-t in see what the great and good Washington thought of them, atxl how he dealt with ihcm. When beseging tho British in Uoston soon after the war began, he writes to one of his ofuct rs us follows ; CAMBRiixJt:, 12th Nov.. 177 . "Stu: At a time when some of our f-i-pcrt towns are cruelly laid in ashei ami ruin . a iid devastation demanded against others; when the arms urn demanded of the inhibi tant, aud hostages required tu effect for tho SUrrcmlei of h-ieltjntic.', when tiotoal llowe, by proclamation, undei the thre it of militarv .i:cution, has forbidden tin inhabi tant tl ISostott to leave the town witho.it hi j from a late nuai'o. r of i!,.
