Wm. Ui.cks, Allen Fisber, E. C. Chastnio, Robert Bryson, John Wilann, Capt. II. Coward and R. H. Cannon, who retired. ; During the .absence of the committee, J. Vewtn Bryson being called for, , briefly ad dressed the meeting in regard to the weal of of country. The committee returned and reported the fi.Howina through their chairman, Rev. Wm. Hicks, wh'ch wes read end unanimously. adopted, e,ach one present giving hia name, only the chairman Keener disenting from the resolutions in regard to Col. Thomas : - Whereas, The State of North Carolina, and especially the mountainous section of paid State, has been both ingnorantly and fclandero'usly, if not wickedly and maliciously, charged with being to a great extent disloyal to the Confederate States 'of America greatly to the piejutJice of our reputation abroad, and to our enbarraS9ment at h(me ; And whereas. It is believed by this meeting that this un founded charge has resulted, in part at least, from the fact that our mountains made by the God of nature and not by our hands, have furnished ample hiding places for the deser ters from the Confederate army, belonging to commands from the several Confederate States of America, whose lurking in those mountains has at no lime been welcome intelligence to the jtfiod people of Jackson county, and whoso continuance in their hiding places ha3 not br'cn desired or even tolerated by any senti ment or spirit of disloyalty to the above namrd Staterf, except perhaps on the part of a dozen misguided persons ; And whereas, we- haive sil-utly submitted to the aforenamed slander Ml "forbearance ceases to be a virtue," and our speaking out, ia plain terms, is required by a sense of justice to the Confederate Gov ernment, and especially to Gen. Beauregard, and S'afi', a.s well as to Capt. K. L. Simons, from and through whom our supplies of bread are reaching us, and hrough whose continued kindness alone can wo see any hope of .being saved from starvation 'I heieforo Resolved, 1. That, whatever maybe the differ ence of opinion among us with regard to the causes of the present cruel war, or as to who nhould share in the responsibilities arising froro its introduction, as also the best method of conducting the bloody struggle to a successful issue, we unequivocally hurl into the teetb of our slanderers and defamers, with all the in dignity the occasion requires, not only a posi tive denial of the charge of being disloyal to the Confederate Government but also the un enviable character which they have won,, of hfli ntr f)i!fl np.rtii.ners and triLiluners. and as like- o ly to sympathise with the Yankee hordes as any of us Resolved, 2. That, although we all desire an honorable and speedy peace, yet were it left with us to propose terms of negotiation locking to that desirable boon, we would neither pro pose nor accept any. terras which did not carry with them the independence of the Confederate States of Amerioa. ' Resolved, 3. That we are the more surprised at the accusations above named, when we con sider how readily hundreds of our men, single and married, have rushed to the Southern flag and borne themselves with so much heroism and daring in the defence of our common herit age, upon so many. battle fields. Many of these brave men (peace to their ashes !) bleep in the humble soldier's grave, far from friends and home. Let their deeds and those of the living bear witness to our loyalty. " Resolved, 4. That we received with the profoundest gratitude the intelligence that an order had been given at General Beauregard's Headquarters, to Captain K. L. "Simons, of Anderson, South Carolina, to turn over- sup plies to our troops in Jackson, and, to a limi ted extent, to the families of said troops; nor was our gratitude diminished by the consid eration that the said supplies will enable us to hold the passes of the Smokey Mountains, which are the direct roads to the heart of the Confederacy, and, as such, might of itself have furnished a sufficient reason for granting the supplies. We btdieve that hipher mo tives (if SUCtl llier otxn be) rrovod lix0 gnar- ous hearts of our benefactors. But if other wise, their cause ia our cause, and therefore our yratitude shall remain unabated. llesolced, 6. That we re-pledge our allegi anceand loyalty to the Cm federate States of America, and respectfully, but most earnestly n-quest General Beauregard to turn a deaf ear to our slanderers, and continue his benefi cence towards us, as that is t almost the only chance within our knowledge to save our wives, sisters and little ones from the n1ot to be de precated death death by hunger ! Whereas. Various rnmors have gone abroad to the prejudice of'Col. W. H. Thomas and his little band of whites and Indians, stationed in Jackson county for the defence of our border; and whereas, he, till quite recently, had no supplies for his troops, except uch as could be picked up in the midst of the general scarcity, whieh rendered it very difficult for him to keep his men together ; and whereas, it is evident that the said troops have saved nsfrom one or two desolating raids through oar county, by contendiug with the invader ; and the fact of thir being near the passes of the Smokey Mountains has, no doubt, deterred the enemy from laying our own section waste. . There fore - " ' . - Resolved, l.That our astonish men t should be that a mere handful of men, unrationed; and, for a time, illy clad, have so successfully held the enemy'at bay ; and, instead of giving credence and currency to floating rumors, we ought t.;nd hereby do,. tender our thanks to Co": W. II. Thomas and his little band for the timely services rendered. t Resohed, 2. ,Tbat the above resolution ia the more Just from the fact that it is obvious that the fight at deep Creek, Ju our cgunty, invented the foe from advancing farther, nd .I.1....M.I 1 -.hi... . . , : - - . . .

XM U. jLf ATUI,. -i A Caralrj r Fight ; n e at ' Bpottsjli ania From ge'ntlernan who : participated audi was grounded in the battle near Spoitsylvanta Courthouse, the following statement is obtain ;It appears that the ; battle opened at.Tolds tavern, ibouta mde nd a half above Spotnyl Vacik'Oourthouse, and lasted ; continuously from Thursday to Sunday. Theofcria der' were ; a portion of Gen. Fitzhugh .Lee's command, and consisted of -Wickham's and Lorn ax's brigades, t The ffight opened on Thursday evening ; LVinax's brisrwle engag ing the enemy and driving them back some distance. During that night the enemy took a strong position, and on Friday the fight was renewed by Wickham's brigade, 1 (Loraax's bejng held in reserve that day,) a little ia ad vance of the ground occupied on the day be fore. On-Friday .night the enemy fell back behind' Todd's tavern, their advance being posted within a short distance of the building. On Saturday it became the turn of Lotnax's brigade to engage the enemy, ( Wickham's be ing held in reserve,) and the fight opened at an early hour aad continued until ten o'clock, when our forces, fell back to the old line oc cupied by them in tlxe-figbt of the second day. Lomax held his position until evening when he was forced by the enemy to the Hue held f bv us on the first day, in rear of a barricade across the roaa tormtiil oy tne telling ot trees. The enemy continued 'to press us, and here Gen. Fitzhugh Lee ordered up Wickham's bri gade and threw out skirmishers Wickham's brigade deploying the enemy on the right of the road leading fn.ni Todd's tavern to Spot sylvania Courthouse, and Lomax's on the left, with Gen. Fitzhugh Lee-commanding in per son and passing up and down the lines. II was said to bs very cool, and gave orders to bis metf? who had been dismounted tor the most part in this fight, owing to the dense forest and thick undergrowth, not to fire until the enemy got within thirty yards of them. Then' continued he, ".take good aim, and let them have it, and then I want you to go over after them.'' The enemy continued to advance, when Gen. Fitzhugh Loe g;ive the order, in a clear, distinct voice, fire." Then ensued a most desperate and stubborn fight, resulting in the enemy being driven b'ck. Our men seeing that thev hid gained the day, gave here a yell such as " rebels" only can whn the Yankees broke and ran, closely pur sued by our men for a distance of half a mile. After this, oti Saturday uight, our forces trithdrw fiorn tbe fatimi of battle, and the Thin! Virginia cavalry were posted as pickets at the barricade for that night. Early Sunday morning the Yankees, strongly reinforced dur ing the night, attacked theTnirl Virginia ca valry on post, who. before the overwhelming numbers of the enemy, continued to fall back until supports could be brought up. Tnis was quickly douo, and the fight raged until seven o'eIock,nvhen Gen. Fitzhugh Lee seeing th it his fore was too small to resist the enemy, who were in very heavy force, with both ca valry and infantry,- bean to retire in ths di rection . of Spotsvlvani i Courthouse, falling back .slowly and contesting. 'every inch of ground. At this critical juncture, about ten o'clock in the morning, a large force of our infantry under Gen. Anderson, came up and succeeded in repnlsinjr the euemy with great slaughter' as Gen. Lee stated iu his official despatch. . The enemy fought with great stubbornness, for he was fighting to carry an important points to open his way clear to Fredericks burg. . He had a very large force two divi sions of .cavalry and a brigade of regulars, all "under tbe immediate command of Gen. Sedg wick. " In the fights of Friday and Saturday of Gen. Fitzhugh Leo with the enemy," we cap tured same sixty prisoners, among whom were some five or six officers. They report tlteir loss at some three or four hundred. Our loss in the same fights was about two hundred and fifty , in kille l, wounded and-missing. Our officers are said to have displayed the most conspicuous valor in this fight. AH along the , lins, amidst a perfect hail of bul lets, they rode cheering our men on to victory. While in the act of leading his men on, with his arm uplifted, CL Ovveus had a finger shot off. -Not stopping for this, ho deliber ately drew his pistol with his other hand and shoi the Yankee dead by his side who had jubt fired ou him. Horriblk. Mr. Samuel Leforce, a member of Co. I., 29th Tennessee Regiment, reached this place two or three days siuce from Gen eral Johnston's array, having been furloughed that he might, if possible, remove his family out of Greene county. Tenn. He was induc ed to ask for the furlough by reason of inform ation which rpached him from home of the at trocities being committed by the Yankees and their renegade associates upm the women and children and helpless old men of that ill-starred county. He has shown us a letter from his wife, beggiog most piteously for him to make some effort to remove her from Greene coun ty, and narrating outrages which are too shocking to put in print. She says (and we. have he'ard the same thing through other sources) that Mr Gieen Huck's wife was treated most brutally. Emerson Keller's wife and daughter both shot and severely wound ed, aud Jesse Davis and son murdered. An indiscriminate .system of pillage and plunder prevails, and tbe most respectable Udies are daily subjected to outrages at the mention of which the blood boils and vengeance becomee at once a virtue and a duty. . We are glad to learu that GjI. Palmer hag officially acquainted Gen. Buckner, who com mands ther Department of Eist Tennessee, with some villainies perpetrated by the Yan kees. along the Tennessee border. Wa con fidently expect thai officer to take such steps as wili' afford at least protection to the op pressed people of East Tennessee. , ..

T he Directors or the YoUnc: MenU unristian Association ot Richmond, resne cu fully, but eirnestly, submit to the benevolent and the patriotic tnrougbout the Confederate States, an appeal iu behaltof the Soldiers' Families in this city. Since the commencement of the war, Richmond has been a refuge for those wbi - have been driven from their homes by our ruthless enemies. Thousands of helpless women and children, not from the devastated counties of Virginia alone, but from nearly every State of the Confederacy, have sought aa aiylu ai in our midst. Our citizens have been appealed to . in numberless instances to relieve the sick and wounded soldiers, to furnish shoes and clothing for soldiers in the field and hospital, and to afford food and shelter for their suffering families, and nobly hare they, in the great majority of in stances, responded to every appeal. The supplies of provisions in this city at this tin.e are so reduced, and the difficulties of ob taining others by ordinary means so -numerous and great, that tbe funds contributed for tho re lief of tbe poor can accomplish but little in pur chasing tbe necessaries of life. - . . ' In a written report from the Clothing Bureau, It appears that there are more than three thou sand females in this city who are. seeking employ ment from the Government in vain, and that those who obtain work are not fully employed. Tho wages received for their work will not enable thse poor women to procure a sufficiency of the plainest food for themselves and children. With- . out assistance, then, from tho city and country generally, many instances of actual starvation must have ocenrred. Our City Council has made most liberal appropriations for the purchase of supplies, both for gratuitous distribution aud f9r salv at cost ; but tbe agents employed for the pur pose have not been aVlr.to procure the quantity of provisions required. Under these circumstances, we feel lhat It is our duty to appeal to our fellow-citizens through out" tbe'Confederate States, to forward, without delay, contributions of money and supplier to the army Committee of this association. Since the cointfiencetnnt of the war this Committee has .Isbon-d zealously and faithfully for the temporal and spiritual welfare of dur soldiers and their fami lies, and tbe success of our gloriouj cauie. L"t those soldiers not be discouraged now, upon the ere of our severest, and, as we trust, our last and most glorious campaign, for want of the gener ous sympathy and support of their friends at . home. ' ' Shipments mad to Roger Martin, Superintend ent, or Win. P. Munford, Chairman of the Army Committee, will be promptly attended to. And in accordance with a special agreement made ' with the Sttperintendant of the Southern Express Company, all express charges will be paid by them at Richmond.
