In view oftlie rumors which had reached us
of the tapid and continued progiess of the en
euiy, meeting of the citizens ef our village
and vicinity was held in the I'ourt House on
Friday to consult as ta what stepa, ii any, |
should bi taken uudsr the circumstances; and
the result was the adoption of such measures
f defence as are within our retell, in case the j
enemy ahou'd threaten this |>arl ol the coun- !
try. It is not probable that our place will l>e
in the line of the enemy's march, ahouhl he (
succeed in driving back or passing our armies
below ; but it ia well to he piepared lor any
euieigency Against a superior force, of comae
leaistance would be worse than useless; but
against bands of ruiding parties the means tor
local delence, if propeily uaau, aie adequate ?

The Chatlotte Democrat has aome *eiy just
and app:opiiute remarks on the necessity for
reform in the cnuducl of the people generally
and the management of the office holder* especially.
Hay a that paper: "We wish to talk
plainly and candidly on this sohject, and there
tore suv that unlew two thiids ol the ofiicehoMera
and employees at llic various posts throughout
the Confederacy are di-miiseed and sunt to

fear the worel consequences. In saying this,
we are euie we are not prompted by feelings
of ill will towards any individual officeholder,
for a laigu number of those who are iu oilier
are only doing what Many others would do if
they had the opportunity, via: tilling poeitions
of no practical benefit to the country or cause.
We do not abuse the individual who tills one ol
three offices?neither do we consider it dishonorable
in a nian to hold one ol these offices
?it the present occupants were to resign, some
One else weuld jump into tiirir places?but we
do con emu the i regulation or law of the (>oveminent

JicoHoiiii/, ns weli as oilier considerations, demands
that the number id titliceboldera should
be diminished. And we would also remaik
that no one should be pel milled to hold an
office unless ho is a citizrn of the Con fed ?i acy
and fully identified with its late for Wtal or woe.
And, fui liter, no officer who is not scivin^,' in
the field should be Jiermilled to keep a horse

The penco rumora, which flew as "wild
