It appears that the crimp for which it is the desire of tho Journal to proscribe and degrade these ofiicersj that of having expressed art opinion as to the; manner irtj which this war was brought on by the President of the U. States. Thus we see; llje vindictive, unpatriotic, and scandalous olarrior ot the fVashinglon Union, against this high privilege qf American citizen ship, is taken up iirtd re-echod by the rag, tag and bobtail" of the party. As does the great political Mufti. at Washington, so must do the "small fry" in North Carolina and every where else. And our readers can have the test of patriotism, at the present day. Is it to sacrifice the com(brts of home and Abandon the sweets of social life, for the sake of their country's cause ? No. Is it to "bare their bosoms to THE MECKLENBURG "SECOND" DE- i cEAR.yriox" of independence, j! Some of our readers, sa)s the " Wilmington j; Chronicle,". may be ciirious to see an acctunt ; r of the proceedings of the Mecklenbiirg Volun teers when they came; to the magnanimous de termination not to enter the Regiment. We, therefore, copy a history of the transaction from the Mecklenburg Jeffersonian : Old Mecklenburg right side vp, -the Spirit of '75 yet alive ! Last Thursday was a proud day for the sons of Mecklenburg. On that day, Capt. Caldwell, of our Volunteers, addressed his ;coftipany relative to thfe action of the Legisla ture in voting ten thousand dollars to tho Regi ment, and the appointment of Field Officers by Trom je Baltimore.

La P atria, the Spanish reaper published at New Orleans and which is generally well post ed up in Mexican intelligence, stales, on au thority of a letter from a well informed source ifi the city of Mexico, that Santa Anna will not leave San Luis de Potosi, but will retain there constantly, about 25,000 men. His plan is "lo take all the means and precautions to fortify ; Well a single point (Sail Luis,) with1 all the ' reinforcements and appliances necessary, with ! in a radius small but-well defined ; distracting i 03 much as possible the i enemy, and dividing ! his attention hy insignificant movements."
