Casp Ca: HUIorJ, Carolua cs., Ya., Feb. llth, 1861. CiiTP OF ths 18th Fko't, N. C. T., ) February 6th 1864. f At a meeting of the 18th Keg't, N. O: T., held this day, the followiHg preamble nud resolutions were unanimously adopted : Wbkksas, It has been brought to our attention that our brothers in arms, actuated by the j istice of the existing struggle foe independence, a firm determination of true patriotism in its vindication, and an honest desire to as sist oar young nation in its establishment, have voluntarily tendered their services, with the solemn pledge of their lives, by a re enlistment for the .period of the war ; and whereas, animated by a like- spirit of devotion to our sacied cause, .we ar' determined that no regiment shall 9rrr.aP8 in in rendering onr arms efleetve to. our country,, or in evincing a true desire to uphold cur leaders in our strnsgle ; be it Besoloed by the officers and soldiers of the 12th Regi ment,'A'. J. 21, That we do cheerfully tender to the Gov ernment t ar services tor the period of the war, pledging our lives and oar sacred honor, all that we. possessthat we will never lay-down our arms nntil the last enemy upon par soil shall be destroyed or driven from it. Resolved, That th spirit of submission, which, we re gret to siy, seem"- to have Beized the hearts of many bad men in North Carolina, will, if persisted in, prove ruinous to our cause. dacgronj to onr liberty, and disgraceful to the fair name of our State ; we, therefore, express our en tire disapprobation of the course of th-se traitors, and earnestly appeal to them to desist from their ruinoiu policy, and sustain oar Government and leaders. Resolved, That in President Davis and Governor Vance we recognise the able statesmen, virtuous rulers, aod true patriots, and pledgd ourselves to Bustain them throughout these trying times. Resolved, That a copy of these resolution be forwarded to our Brigadier Geueral; a4no, to the Fayette.i'le 'Obser ver and Wilmington Journal, with a request that they be published.

(7. 7. : Ccuxades : It were not possible to read the eloquently patriotic resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by yea to-day, without emotions of pride and gratitude of just pride that I have the honor to command such m.Q of well merited gratitude in the nation's behalf and mine, for this exhibition of -high resolve and patriotic action at the time of the nation's greatest need. Permit me to thank you lor sending me a copy of the resolutions, and to pray God Bpeed to you and our great ct-use. Believe me your .friend, JAMES H. LANE, Brig. Gen. For the Journal. Mr. jSlor : While everybody el&e is formicg and ex pressing opmionB, why not I, an humble soldier, do so too. It has been my duty for the last two years to drill, to march, to bivouac in some nightly swamp and ;o fight, and not to enjoy luxuriant ea.e or engage in speculation at hojie, nor do I expect to saek to sculk the duty I owe my country. Now i3 the time to show my loyalty aud patriotism. . No man, surely, loved the oKl FederJl Union more than I, pre vious to its disbolution. My heart swelled with nationa; prid" at her anniversaries and my spirit seeded earned away with her national airs. I adhe: td to the rational com pact ol delegated powers with the utmost tenacity. But when the last efl'jri was made to settle existing difficulties to the Union, when the peace conference failed, I then saw no pther alternative than dismemberment. When the call was made ou North Carolina for troops to fight out South ernj brethren, I was proud to see my own native State taki her stand. I then favored her action ; I have seen nothing since cn the part of our enemy to win me back, but much to the contrary. We were then a united people. But?iow there is much croaking and division, which has a tended cy to discontent and disencourage oar own soldiers nd people, while it has an opposite tendency on the part of our enemy. And why is this? Is North Carolina disloyal? She cer tainly has some diaaflected citizens, but as a State she sure ly u not. See what the ias done for tne caase ! See with w-feat alacrity her sons fle-w to arms ! Sea the patient endurance, the deeds of heroic valor they have exhibited. Nearly every battle, from Bethel to Ofcick amauga, .records tho unflinching heroism with which they have fought. Tne poet of time yeunnmeaaured will, when he tunes hid lyre tc sing of heroes to generations yet not bom, will refer back tp the deeds of Noith Carolina soldiers, sud strike his highest notes to sing their praUe. Nor have our. fathers, mothers, daughters, wives and sisters at home been recieant to their .duties. How nainlul then to know that di:Bentions have eprusg up amonpu us. The causes ot thin are many. Our Government has erred, and the croaking, disaffected and designing have taken advantage of it. Until the conscript law wenfinto' effect all eeemsd well,- but grumblings soon arose. The necessity for, atd not thepaafiage of the act furnishes a source of regret. But for this law the Confederacy might have been crushed in its infancy. "This law contained several features that have had much to d j with the present unhappy state of our people. Many poor men thought it hard to be consented to service while their neighbor was allowed to put his money in the fit Id, and he remain at home to speculate even cn the nceesaries of life, while others have been al lowed to remain at home in luxuriant ease because they owned twenty of that ppociea o property which has been regarded as the have thongnt be forced to is oermitted Bpecie and otLer va'.rables, to grow rich and arrogant, while our soldiers are undergoing toil and privation iu the field. Thebe things have worked discord, croakings, preju dices, aud led to aid the present statu ot things in North Carolina. While I am free to adiait that onr Government and her official have erredI do not think these errors have been intentional, especially en the part of the General Govern Bieut. We may expect seme corruptions, as no Govern ment is entirely free from It. But it is easier to point out past mistakes-than to see future effects. There are those iu tne country who appear an rignt until tney are catled on to make some sacrifices, when they join ia the general contab of grumblers. There are thousands who ignorantly grumble. And worst of all, there is a certain cuvning few, who, for the sake ot popularity, of office, or the hope of office to save them from the war,, raibe a mighty clamor against t?ie war, the officers and the Government. De spoLdncy and discontent are as contagions as small pox, ai d they isnow it. Provisions are very scarce in the coun try, as every cna knos, and this is agitated just to keep the ball rching. When a soldier dies, or is in any distress, instead of whispering wo: as oi ryiceiai consolation in the ears of the mourners, there a.e those who will take this time to embitter them against the cause; bo you see tho neoD o are so exc.tea mat tney are comma: neace meetings in many counties of this titate.

If the peo pie are aggrieved, they have the right guaranteed .ia the f undamental law of the land to meet,' consult for tha com- ing ouie thing mig' t occur by which this difficulty might ba settled. I would say politely to the peace-meeiing convention- party in North Carolina. Have vou ever petitioned our representatives ia Cocgre6S, as the Constitution tells enn vril have a ritrht to do? Have you made tnowVi vonr wii-hss to them iu' a proper manner? Or have yoa lost all confidence in these, the men of your own selection?

Th Constitution makes it the business of Congiess to declare war, to raise and support armies and negotiate for terms of peace, &o. Any other way will be outside of the Constitution.

A diapatch to the New York World of Jan. 21, reads thns : It ia rumored in high official circles here that we are apon the eve ol a war with France owing to the eiD ular diplomacy of Mr Seward touching the qheation growing out of the buildiDg cf Confederate Kama in France, It will be remembered that Mr. Seward as sumed a very bold tODe towards the English Govern ment after be discovered that the British Cabinet had determiped to detain Laitd's rams and keep the peace with this country. His high-sounding dispatches were all written after the cban of policy in the English Cabinet was definitely understood. Emboldened by his bloodless victories on paper, it is understood here that he assumed a similar 4one towards the French Govern ment, touching the Florida and the escaped steamer Rappahannock and also with regard to the rams which were know to be building in France for the rebel Gov ernment. His position was bo incautiouslv beilitrfirfint that he has received a reply from Drouyn de Lhuys which Kaa put the Administration in a crurl predica- meat. The United States must either abandon its pre- tentions or go to' war to maintain them.

Another telegphic.dispatch n regard to the 3ame subject says : ltisnow alleged that the troable between Franct and the United States relates in some way to the special embassy which Mr. Wm. M. Evarts had been sent on .to that country. After his services in the ram dispute in England, it is known that he was instructed to de mand of France the surrendar of the belligerent rights it accorded to the Southern rebels. Whether the3 de mand, for whatever course of action, was baaed in a too peremptory tone, or whatever may be the trouble, it is certain that there ia some serious difficulty with the French Cabinet, so much e.o as to alarm all save Mr. Seward himself.

As we were riding together at the head of tie Bn. ade. on the morning of the first instant, about 3 o'clock he received tbe wound, and his death was immediate, and seemingly without pain, while the placid sjaile that rested on his countenance alter death, struck the behold er as implying a satisfaction that he had fallen in the discharge of his duty. . No more exemplary officer, no truer and more patriot ic man has fallen in this bloody contest, and no one more sincerely lamented by all to whom he was well known. As the ranking Colonel of my Brigade for nearly eighteen months, m associations with him were constant and intimate, and l can say with perfect truth that he was more attentive to all the duties of Lis position than any olhcer tbat 1 have ever, been in contact with, and the urill and discipline of his Regiment made it the greatest danger, and when under the heaviest fire, his courage, hia coolness and his self-possession were not eurpasaed by those of any soldier in the army.

W h-n the York river traiu reached Tunstali's Sta tion, yesterday, one ol the escaped Yankee officers Major J. N. Walker, of the 73d Indiaca approached the oars, and surrendered himself to Surgeon J. A. Slater, of the 15th Va. Cavalry. He said he was quite sick, bad eaten nothing since Tuesday last, acd was con sequently unable to travel. Heeaid that the 109 officers who escaped commenced leaving the prisjnat 9 o'clock at night, and the last ot tbem got through about five o'clock in the morning. The 'escaped party were, ac cording to his account, 55 days at work at the tunnel. After getting out, they made North of Richmond, and most ot tbem crossex5 the Chickahominy and then woiked their way down on the other side. We are informed that one of the party passed the pickets at New Kent Court House, and representing himself as a member of the New Kent cavalry, made good his escape. We are also informed that some of- the recaptured officers acknowledged tbat when the roll call used to be called, sDme 70 would answer to the names of 100. This is blmost incredible, for, we suppose, it was and is the practice to count the prisoners as weU as call the roil. A report was brought by a arty who came up by the cars lastevening, that the enemy was again d- vancing, and had driven in our pickets at jNew Kent Court House, at 12 o clock yesterqay. In addition to Major Walker, who was brought to the Libby in an ambulance last" tight, four more of the absentees were capiured in the vicinity of the city yesterday. Their names are "Lieutenant W. Clifford, 16th U. S. Ibrahtry ; M&ftr Robert Henry, ol ths th Ohio ; LieuRnant J W. Hare, 5th Oiio Cavalry ; and Lieutenant A. Garbett, of the 77th Pennsyl . ; vania A number more were expected to be returned by our scouts, who were in active pursuit and expected back last night. It was extensively rumored yesterday, that the no torious Colonel Straight had been wounded aud captur ed, on the canal above and west of the city, and was on h s way down. The manner of his capture was embel liehed according to the fancy of those giving currency to the report. The levanting Colonel may have been taken, but he certainly had not reached the-city at sun down yesterday. We hope to chronicle the arrival of this scoundrel at the Libby on Monday. In all, about 34 have been returned to the prison. Rich. Enquirer FlltS I' DKCISIU! IS GEOUGIA VNOER TTK AST- TI-SCBST1TUTK LAW. Judge O. A Lochfane of the Superior Court, Macon . . I 1. 11-11 A.

From the Fayetteville Observer. ' A NobLR Youth. it friend has shown ua a letter rom a boy of 18 years to his aunt in this place, which so abounds with noble sentiments, consistent with noble acts, that we make an extract from it, and ask whether a people whose boys are made of such stun are likely to be subjugated : The youth volunteered m an Arkansas Regiment ar the beginning of the war, when be was but fifteen years bf age, and has been content to serve ever since' as a private in the army of Tennessee, now in Georgia, and now declines a proposal of his aunt to endeavor to get bim a place where he might serve the uonteder acv with mere eomfort and less danger, and gives euch generous reasons therffor as must strike every one With admiration. - .. After emiettng hia aunt's cfind as to himself and bis brother (an officer) both having been barefooted, by the assurance that ihey were no w -well shod and well olothed, he says : m I am extremely cratetul to uncle lor his endeavors to proeure me a place, and I cannot tell you how de lighted 1 would re to live with you, but honor and duty compel me to decline. I am now eighteen a little over. I am very robust and inured to hardships. Tics is the most trying hour our country has yet seen. She needs every one." It would be inconsistent both with what I have preached and practiced to leave active ser V'ce now. Would it not look cofvardly and weak for me, after fighting and marching for nearly three years, that too when jere was some danger ot disease mas tering me to now go back from the'front, leavingper haps, some father of a family to fill the place that Bhould be mine, I to retire to the peaceful occupation that should be bis ? This when I am stout as oak ? No dear aunt, I know you will agree with me. My health is good ; I have never yielded to despondenoy. The country is plunged in gloom ; traitors are abrofia ; spec ulators are' sucking the life-blood of our currency. Even the veterans cf three years' fighting and marching, such as have never beeu surpassed, even these men allow discontent to eat away the props that have sus tained their heart's patriotism, pride and revenge, and are allowing that fell crime desertion to enter their midat.

Aronnd her grave the stranger might well have read fctr character The tear which moistened the eye of the refined and educa ted, betokened that thCy had lost a companion. The ior rowfnl ccunter.ance of the wordly declared tbat evea they had 1 est a friend. Tbe weeping of the poor showed plain ly that tbey mourned a benefactor who comforted tbem in their distress. Old age looked on as if recounting tha good deeds of thia loved woman, and thongntless youth wept o'er the grave of that friend whose house wa tbe home ot hos pitality and whose heart did overflow with kindneus and love. Hospitable without pretension, virtuous without false modesty, piou i without being puritanical, ihe wm deeply loved ard trnly respected by Ml who knew ber. If ker loss be thus great to the outside world, it mnst fall with crushing weight open her husband, who idolized her, and her affectionate and duti ful sona and daughters, whQlmost worshipped her.

While to her friencs she Memed in more than her naoal health, yet she spoke of her. approaching; end as if she had Borne sure presentment of its nearness and cer- ' tainty. Her arrangements were all made as if she were leaving home for some pleasant journey. Those kind messages left by her for her absent children and friends will ever leave an ineffaceable impression on their hearts, and make them ever pray that their "last end may be like hers." Mfty ihey all learn to imitate her living example, and strive to meet death as she met it. Her death serves as one more tie to bind her bereaved husband and children to Heaven. For 'tis a beautiful fancy to believe that the white-winged angels of mercy, who hovor over and beckon us on to virtue and to Heaven, are the redeemed souls of onr beloved on ewth. who are not lost to ns, but -'have only gone before ns." And may that babe (only a few hours in this sinful worid) which she then left, ever serve to koep frebh in their -hearts the memory of her dylsg hour, and lead their hearts to that fountain of consolation to which the pions Job looked when he exclaimed, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the name of tho Lord.'
