Tha meetirg a'so passed the follow iLg resolution : ii'esulcrd, That as advocacy of the doctrine of recon struction has been pronounced by this meeting as traitor ous, all person entertaining such sentiments are hereby requested to remove without the limits of the Confederate (States; and if they do not choose to remove, they are hereby norilied that if they are known to express such sen timents to the detriment of their country, they win be re quired to do so.

Kes.sk?. Editor?: The announcement of tho death of the Rev. Thomas Ki:BruY ia yesterday 's Journal, caused a general feeling of sorrow throughout our community. He had labored so ljng and so faithfully in onr nrdst, had been eo consistent iu his course of life, that slander rever whispered aught against him, and he eij yed, as he richly deserved, the respect aud the esteem if ad classes and all denominations. Modest and retiring in his disposition, he shunned notoriety, bnt pursued the even tenor of his way in the diligent and faithful performance cf his duty. His untiring attentions to the sick aud destitute during the prevalence of that dreadful epidemic last Bummer, can never be forgotten by those whose necessities he relieved, or whose sorrows he comforted. Ilia ear was open to the cry of distress from all, without regard to sect, and his services wore as promptly given to those of other denomi nations aa to his own. Though d.fl'irir g from him on points of faith, the writer of this brief notice bear this cheer ful testimony to his virtues as a man, and to his unassuming and exemplary deportment as a Minister f God.

From the Correspondence of the Enquirer. Pi oiu ttte Trans-Mlulssippl. -a- Ijttls Rock, Arkansas, ) : July 19 th, 1863 f The. fall of Vicksbnrir reedtra the TraDS-Mississippi department almost self dependent, of difficult communi I violate no military confidence by stating that Lieut. Geu: E. Kirby Smith's headquarters are in Louisiana, (Jtn Holmes' at Little Rock, and that Gen. Price is in (he field in Northern .Arkansas. Gen. Magrudtr is also utderstood to be in the field, but his distance from ua prevents any further statement in regard Lo bis move ments, lied river is possessed at present, through its whole length by our whole forces. The Ouachita is defended at IJarrisonburg, a point some imrty muts from Natchez, and ten or tweive miles above the con fluence of the Tensas, Ouachita and Little rivers, which several streams form the Black rivtr at Trinity ; this latter emptying into "the Red. The Arkansas is de ficded at PineBIuff. The White river, thougu little known one of the best navigable streams on this con tinent is undefended by any works. It is navigable at ail seasons to Jacksooport, a point near a hundred miles from Helena, the nearest fortified point of the etcny. We have lorces in the Indian countries as well et various interior coinls. It will thus be observed that our forces extend over and occupy a vast territory an mipire, not ouly in extent, but in resources. Gen. Smith, cow occupying one of the most impor tant positions in the Confederacy, because holding in a great degree the destinies of this va9t section m his hands, it will be a source ol profound gratification to the government aod people of the States east cf the Mississippi to know, possesses in a singalar manryr the enthusiastic confidence of the army and people. This, it self, would go far to rendcir mediocre ability successful. But there are most convincing reasons to believe that, besides being a field marshal of brilliant capacity, he possesses also that hiqher qualification for the pst he fills, eminent administrative ability. Und.r his com preher sive measures and vigilant eye, the nitre bureau is active, lead mines are being opened, marjUfactories springing up, and whatever ia necessary to our separate arsd st-If'-dq.endtnt po.-ition is everywhere progressing in a mariner at once to give hope aod confidence to ti e . rot,!e, when rtsuits stall be manifest. Much cf this is not now apparent to the popular eye ; but is none the lesp surely rontter of fact, and kndwta to the informed. WfiHtever may be the future of this most difficult de partment, at present we have much to hope from cur resources end our leader. In addition to the foregoing hopeful statement, I may add that never did Providence b,'fore bless any land with sucb treasures from the soil. The cornufpia of plenty has been so prodigally emptied in the laps of oar peopie that it is believed the present crop would supply all the wants of this department for three years to come, eveu if we should, in the fwlure, be denied the ordinary harvest. lu recent military movements we have successes and defeats blended. Urxkr the influence of the fortu nate star of Gen. Smith, his more immediate vicinity has witccs-ed some very gratifying operations, most i;nporta-it of which is the capture of Brashear City, ou the coast, with a large number of arms, much needed at this time. I a our own neighborhood, the movement npn Helena, under the immediate command of Gen. Holmes, was unfortunate, not enly it its failure, but in very heavy losses of brave officers and men. Inasmuch us vicksburg has fallen, the loss of men is the only thing in connection with the enterpns-3 to be now rtgreited, as the place would had to have been given np almost immediately, as the attack took place oq the 'same day with the tall of Hills City. Ibe movement origiuateJ in the imp.riou3 necessity felt everywhere for the relief of cur garrison at Vicksburg. The mistake was io the point on the river which it was judick us to occupy. The defeat excited no surprise, and I cannot say has operated to farther prejudice to Gen. Holmes in the public estimation, lt wouid be uncjndid to deny that he has drifted ao far to leeward in the good opinion of both army and people, as to make better abilities than he possesses necessary to suc cess in our difficult circumstances. All, however, award to him the meed of praisa for great daring on the ik-ld in the moment and point ot danger, lathis respect he is much praised. General lVicebas lost nothing of his wonderful and justly deserved hold upon the affections of his troop3. He only waits opportunity to vindicate the exalted opinion the nation has conceived of him. He Bimply lead thet uo.-s in the Helena afiair.ai d that they were gallantly leu is apparent from the list of killed and wounded at the almost impregnable breastwoids of that cart fully fortified stronghold. The immediate works as signed for h? attack were gallently carried. The fail ure of othets is not, so fur as I have heard, attributed to gallantry on their part, but to greater difficulties iu the assault or imre formidable resistance. It would not, pet hiips, be considered invidious, it is simply juat, to say that Brigadier Gcuera's Parsons, ef Missouri, and Pagan, of Arkar.sas, behaved with that intrepidity which spun s all persona! danger, edding to the envia ble reputation each possessed before. They are both looked upon as rising men. Governor Rejnoids, of Missouri, is here, engnged in the labors of his office, -shicli, owing to the confusion resulting from the demise cf Governor Jackson and the unfortunate condition of-the State, are no doubt diffi cult and onerous. His distinguished patriotism, expe rience in public affairs and indefatigable industry end vigilance, added to his good understanding with fhe Government ar d military authorities, lender him one of the most important as well as efficient asents in the present great struggle in the West. He seems to ap sreeiate the importance of the position he holds, and I venture to predict that the history of our Trans-Mis- si8stppi struggle will reveal the iact that Missouri a ex eculive has not been unequal to the occasion. The un settled accounts of the State with all parties are being rapidly audit d and liquidated. Order and satisfaction must thus grow out ot coufusiou and complaint From Missouri we hear that the spirit of the people remains unbreken, though for the time they are power less. Partisan warfare goes on in various quarters, accompanied by the usual horrors which it were boot less to give you from here, General Jtff. Thompson is at present in this city, full ol hope and vigor, which never flag in his bosom If he has not recently accomplished what was expected from his earlier curctr, it is because of inexorable ad- verce circumstances. His time will certainly come Ou the. 15th of August proximo a most important conference will fake place between Lieutenant-General Smith aud the Governors and Supreme Judges of the four States, of this department. I hat wise council will prevail, the position and character of the parties give ample guarantees. L'KsTRANGE Kiuui tlie Aiuiy. Passengers by the Central train report all quiet on the upper Rappahannock. Ten or fifteen Yankee pris oners were brought down, most of them captured by Gen. Imboden's command. There is nothing cf importance from Fredericksburg. We have heard of several slaves returning to their mas ters, having had enough of Yankee freedom. One came down in the cars yesterday, who left his master six months ago and weut to Pennsylvania ; and now ha3 returned to his horn?. Negro slavery in the South is preferred by them to Yankee slavery in the army. A gentleman Irom above, who came down yesterday, says the finest spirit pervades the army, all expressing the most unlimited confidence in their noble chitf. Gen. Lse is in excellent health and fine spirits. Gen. Ewcll, the worthy successor of the lamented Jackson, since his severe wound last fall, prefers a small horse, as he can mount him with Ies3 difficulty. Yesterday the General was mounted on a mule, and ready ior anything in the fighting line that way turn up. Richmond Sentinel. No persons are fonder of a joke than the soldiers. The Atlanta Confederacy humorously tells how some of them amuaed themselves at the expense of one of its editors : In his Shroud. On Sunday morning one of our city editors, who resides a little way out of town, (the morning being very sultry,) drew out of his wardrobe an old suit of pure white duck, in which he arrayed himself. He moanted his horse, and rode leisurely along, coming into the city to get the latest news,aHd passed by the soldiers' camp about 100 men lying around loose. As he rode along by them one of the soldiers called oat, "Come on, boys, let's attend the funeral ;" whereupon the whole croud fell into line and started on, with the solemn measured tread of the dead march after the "sol itary horseman." Atthe further end of the column one of them hallow ed out, "flow you know he's dead?" "Oh, I know he is," replied the first ; they've got hia in his shroud. ' At this point the editor took the hint, and an ap plication of spurs to his horse sent him forward at a speed rather unusual in funeral processions. cation with the Capital ol the Confederacy, ana an od fjct tLtrelore of increased importance aud interest to Ui6 Mta:ea ar.d rxoDle East of the Mississippi. Correspondence of the R'cbmond Enquirer Orange C. IL, August 13, 1863. Returning to this point on yesterday, about 12 o'clock, my ears were greeted with the strains of mar tial music, acd I observed a large assemblage ofeffieers in atd about the Court House lot, where the band was discoursing. Repairing thither I was informed that a convention was about to be held by two delegates from each of the North Carolina regiments, for the purpose of denouncing the conduct of the Raleigh " Standard " and those meetings in the counties in that State which have, in primary meetings, passed resolutions In regard to securing an early peace, and objectirg to tbe enforce ment of the conscript law because other States have not done their duty fully, and opposing the payment of the. tax iu kind jbecause a Virginia tithing man wub appointed The meeting assembled, atd the following officers weie appointed to conduct if s proceedings : Col.

C. delivered, in response to calls, ao elo quent and patriotic address ; after which Col. Garrett, tLe chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported the following series of resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, a discussion f-pringing up only on two of them. Capt. Bird objected to the recital of the reasons, in the 4th resolution, which governed or prcfeescd to govern the county meetings, inasmuch as it would seem to imply cen&ureupon the whole ptop'e of North Caro lina ; but after a discussion of this point, participated in by Lieut. II ill, Capt. Bird and Col. Garrett,-the con vention refused to strike outthispart of the resolution. On tbe 7:h resolution, as reported by the committee, a spirited discussion arose as to whetner the resolution did not imply cersure of the Confederate Government, and, even granting that it did, whether it was proper that any euch opinion should be expressed by the meet- ine. All seemed to agree that ISortn Uarol;na had been badly treated by the Confederate Government, but tbe general expression of the meeting was that this was no time lor public resolutions ot this sort, and finally a substitute was offered which ignored the whole subject of cc nsure upon the Confederate authorities. I he prin c ral speakers on this point were Col. Garrett, Lieut, Bel!, of the Gth N: C, Col. Bennett and Capt. Bird. A committee, consisting of Cols. Garrett, Jone3 and Grimes, were appointed to prepare an address to the people of Noith Carolina, and then the meeting adjourn ed, after a speech of Capt. York, in which the Ilaleigh " Standard's" editor was- denounce djes "a son of Hell." The resolution in regard to the " Standard" was pass ed amidst great applause. The meeting was not boisterous, but calm, qui. t and deliberate ; and feemed to be fully impressed with the importance of tbe object which had drawn them to gether. I send herewith the resolutions of the conven tion. The meetircr cannot but result in eocd. All the speakers seeme-d to take the ground that the people at home who were getting up these meetings were the men who do not want to come out under the proclamation of the President calling for the forty to forty-five men. a.. BESOLUTIONS AS ADOPTED BY THE CONVENTION. Lsf. Resolved, That tnr separation from the Northern Government was, from th? beginning, intended to t e final and eternal. For Jhis have we suffered and endured eo much ; fcr thi Lave r-o rrariy of onr comrades fallen, and for tnis do ve Btat miena io tnuure an aaa every ui ; nor do ve intend that the action of any portion of our people at home shall eo bind our Hands as to matte turtter rebiat- ar.ee on onr pait impossible, lhat we are daily confirmed in our determination by the unnatural teachings of the Northern press, bv the insane and fanantical acts of the Northern people, by tho Inhuman and unprincipled acts of fhe Northern Government, the crownirg one of which is shown in the late proclamation of Lincoln, threatening re taliation on. cur soldiery for our treatment ot slaves found in insurrection, and by the innumerable acts ot savage barbarity of the Northern soldiery in every part of our land. 2d. Resolved, That earnestly aa we desire peace and long for a return of its bleehiogu, we do utterly repudiate ail acts cf peisons or authorities tending to a peace upon the basis of reconstruction or submi.-sion ; and that, while we are. and have always been, anxiou3 for an honorable settlement of our difficulties, the agitation of the subject cn any otcer terms than onr perfect independence of Northern rule is in the highest degree incompatible with the honor and interests of the goo i peonle of North Carolina. Nor can we comprehend the base fee'ing that wruld return to the embraces of an enemy who has carried on a war of in vasion against cs for more thin two year?, ccnpled with every savage infliction which he has had the power to im pose, culminating ia the employment of our slaves and the rree negroes of the North to murder our citizens and op pose us in honorable coaiba as soldiers. 3d. Resolved, That while the soldiers are fUhtirg, eu3er icg and dying for our independence, it is wrong that their friends at home should be continually dampening their ar dor, casting a chill and gloom cn their hopes, and nni.er virg them tor the contest by untimely repinirgs and bae leanings toward submission ; that we would be untrue ti our Drincinles."untrv:e to our wives acd children, who would be the greatest sufferers by snYimistion, untrue to our nob!e dead, untrue to our interests, untrue to cur State, nntrue to our Confederacy, and untiue to the Caus3 of freedom now to tubniit to the domination of such as re the Northern peeple, and that we fear tl eir iu e more than their wrath. 4th. Resolced. That we have learn d with deep mortifi cation and regret, that several meetings have besn held in North Carolina, in wh ch reyo'utiot s have been adopted de tlaring opposition to the urther enforcement of the ecu scrint law in our State ; that we cannot regard f uch action. taken by a portion of our pocple, in any other light thau as favoring the cause of our enemies with whom wo are con tending, aud in this point of view as disloyal, aLd to ns who have been relying upon those at home for support and sympathy, as treacherous in the extreme ; that we cannot regard the appoiu rnett of an obnoxious tithing man, or the failure of the other btates to do their dcty patriotical ly, as any excuse for North Carolinians to refuse to per form theirs in any respect ; that the alleging such as an ex cuse shows that they do not pre ad any inability to comply with the requrement of the law bat that it is a species of canting hypocrisy, employed by those who desire to escape the rangers and narasnips ot tne war. 5i. Resolved, That the course of the Raleigh ' Stand ard " and its supporters in North Carolina, in encouraging this spirit among cur peeple, meets with our uDqualiu-ii condemnation, and we denounce tne statement of the edi tor of tfcat paper, that his course is approved by a large nnmber cf tbe treats frcm actin Carolina, R3 utterly faifce and that for the lair fame A North Carolina, we sincerely hope mat nosucn statement win te reiterated. tm. nesoivea, mat in a Btrnggie or tne cnaracter in which we are engpged, involving as it does the presrva tion or destruction of all our rights 6 a freemen, the freedom of the press does not demand that any sentiments, however tieasonable, may be uttered witn impunity; that this ines- t'nTable right ia every well regulated government is, and should be res.rioted within such limits as to forbid this and if it should be found that true patriotism la North Car olina had so far lost its hold upon the minds and hearts of her people as to be unable to check the course of the " Stand aid " and other papers which are giving utterance to tuch sentiments, then -the public authorities would be recreant to the cause of the country if they should fail to take measures for their suppression. 7i7i. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the noble and patriotic course of Gov. Vance in the strugg le for our independence ; that we are willing to entrust the honor and integrity of our Btate in his hands, and that we are confi dent he will not betray his trust. Sth. Raolved, That while the resolutions adopted show tru'y the sentiments of the Convention upon all the pcint embraced in them, inasmuch as it is impossible in this form to embody all that the Contention and those whom they represent, desire should be said to the people of our State, with tbe arguments and considerations which might te brought forward to sustain them, the President of the convention be authorized to ap point a committee of three gentlemen of the Convention, whe shall be entrusted with tl e preparation and publica tion of an address to the people of the Btate, specially ap pealing to the good and the patriotic to rise in their might and put down the small (aa we believe) but treasonable faction in their midst, whose machinations we have more trouble to resist than the power of our enemies. Col James II. Love. We were trulv ratified to lrnrn from the Ashevihe (N. C.) News, that the above gentleman has been call ed nnon bv a l&rca nnrnV r of the 10th (S . C.) Con gressional District to represent it in tha next Congress of the Confederate States. . . . We have known the Colonel for many years, and bad the honor for several months of being a member of his regiment. We speak knowingly in the battles of Vir-D-.nia. whilst led by Jackson, he prored himself a gal lant officer. He was a member of tbe N. C. Legisla ture in 1860-61, and wa hope will become a member of the coming Congress. By his merits and soldier-like conduct he has passed by gradual promotion from a private to hia present position. He is certainly a gen tleman possessing extraordinary qualities, and richly deserves the respsct, support and confidence of his fellow North Carolinians in fend oat of this State. . Knoxvilie (Jenn.)
