URY, N tindigenons saletitnte Yor “ And while all eyes are directed to the seas,aud our best hopes hover over the move- ment in Europe, what has Congress done, or is about to do, in aid of it? As much, and no more, thaa it did to ¢reate it. If England makes a war on the United States and an allianee with the South, those inci- dents, like the secession of Virginia, will be the work of Lincotx and _ of au over- ruling Providence. The Cor federate Gov- ernment hath neither lot nor part in them. By declaring free trade with all the world for aterm of years, it had the power to set Europe against the United States long ago; but that buld measure was above its daring and its understanding of the war. It balted at a half-way house, neither reaching the benefits of trade for ourselves por throwing the balance of commerce against the enemy. The Southern Confederacy keeps up’ a tariff of fifteen per cent. The Confeder- acy gets mot one penny of revenue from it. It does the Government no good at all, and is just sufficient to save the North from competion. The Southern tariff is fifteen per cent.; the Northern tariff is thirty. Bat the merchant who sends his goods to Savannah must not only pay fifteen per cent. of duty, but run fifty per cent. crak that they Are seized by the enemy’s cruisers; while, if he sends them to New York, be has only the thirty cents ‘of the tariff to encounter, but no risk at ‘all from an evemy.

Opothluyttolo’s name made its appearance about thut'time as a leader of the party opposed ‘to'the treaty. He is an eloquent speaker, and wields a mighty influence over the Upper Creeks, by his tongue. The McIntosh patty compose the Lower Creeks, and there exists still, be- tween the two parties, thé remains of the old cational feud, and this may be the cause of the present attitude of Opothley- holo and'his followers. Indiaus never for- get injories, aud when life is taken, the re- latives ofthe killed seldom ever forget it. It is said:that Opothleyhulo and his Creek followets‘are very hostile to the Creek re- giment under Colonel Melntosh, who is a descendant of General McIntosh, who was slain by the Creeks years ago in Alabama. A Solemn Warning.—Two members of the First Louisiana battalion, recently executed by order of General Johnston for striking their officers, left a sad warning for soldiers and others.

A crygtaline principle has been obtained from the willow, which has received the name of Salectn.: The Buckner, of Germany, and Fontana and ‘Bagatelle of Italy—but Mr. Lereudx, of Fiance, deserves the credit of having-ftirst accumtely in- vestigated its properties. Salacin possesses Tonic properties analogous to de ulphate of Quinia, than whieh it is less siable te irritate the stomach. It may be employed in dyspepsia, intermittent and other diseases for which Cinchona apd desulphate of Quinia are usually exhibited. dose of it is frum ten. to thirty grains. It may be given in powder mixed with sugar, or dissolved in aromatic water. Magendie has seen fever cut short in one day by three doses of six grains each. N. L. STITH, M. D. Walifax, Dec. 4, 1861.

'' " Ifthe‘rebellion is put down, I anticipate that the ‘whole South will acquiesce in some miénsure for the gradual abolition of slavery: Rather Slow.—We learn from the Wil- mington Journal, that ou Tuesday the 172th | instanh a boat load of Yankees, about 20 in number, from the federal steamer Gems- bok, landed on the banks to the north of the ‘mouth of New River, Onslow coanty ; that they were seen by thé pitkets of Uap- tain Howlird’s troop on the North, and Capt. Newkirk’s on the South side of the alet, who immediately reported the fact to headquarters; that the 20 yankees rematu- ed there shooting cattle till Friday morf- ing—three days; that on Thuraday night at 11 o'clock, a detachment of Capt. New- kirk’s company, under Liept, Nixon, start- ed, and “arrived on the banks about day- bee on Friday morning, but with alk.tbeir efforts to get there in time, they arrived a little too late. The birds hud flown, al- though their nests were still warm, they having apparently left not more than two hours béfore, probably being warned “by some traitorotts party of parties in the neighborhood.” It is :certainly to be regretted that gach remarkable “ efforts to get there in tine” were not crowned with success, ‘Newbern to be Attacked.— Pereons 'ar- rived at’Richmgond on Thuraday’from the North, report ®hat the expedition against Fernandina has been abandoned, and that Burnsides’ expedition, at Agoepolis, will divide ts aperpiiges between Norfotk ead’ Neer which ‘Tatter place ati 6 oben} extent tnilicated above, be grappled with | he x imagentlys-if th fb an M : , | Lh Phy ‘ones Sir: The demand for the unconditional surrender of Messrs.

This suggns-, tion, I shall always believe, was commu nivated from Paris. Disebaimingt inten- tional offenve, Mr. Seward will have::the fing of Eugtand saluted with any amber of sulvos, and muke any further reparation’ sanctioned by Louis Napoleon, The shade of the first Nupoleon: andthe picture of Waterloo are summoned to Mr. Seward’s aid in these conferences ; and Palmerston is his coadjutor. Mr. Adams has forward. ed to Washington certain notes from the British Premier, which were well calevla: ted to make Lord Lyons pause. - Besides, it is worthy of conjecture that Mr. Seward has exhibited to*his"Lordsbip copies of his instructions to Mr. Adams which must suspend precipitate and decisive action on thd part of bis Lordship. Hence, for the next thirty days the solption of the em- broglio is to be transfetred to London. Failing there, xn attempt will be made to remove it to Paris; and, nothiog’ being accomplished at the ‘Fulleries, it will be remitted back to Washington, where the spectre of Napoleon L, at the back of Sew- ard’s: ebvnir, with be reinforced by certain mementos of ‘Trafalzar, Cuidad Rodrigo, etc. Meantime, Mr. Seward reposes upon the potency of the enyivery of his bitherto in- fallible systein of ingenious misrepresenta- tion; and he Jabours hard to produce a beliet in diplomatic circles that the rebell ido is near its end. He pledges himeelf that there will soon be executed » series of demonstrations that the South can ‘never sufvive. Simultaneously with the advance of the Grand Army—as soon as McClel- lun as well envuagh— Middlesex, Northum- umberland and Lancaster counties will be seized by a riavul expedition, Norfolk over- whelmed from the rear, the expedition dis- embarking near Cape Henry; Wilming- ton and Newburn, N. C. Charleston, S. C., Savanualt, Ga., Mobile, Ata., and New Or- leans, La., are to be taken. In the West, Columbus is to be attacked from Cairo ; Bowling Green is to be sacked, and a col- umn of 200,000 more marched through Tennessee to form a juncture with the ar- mies on the seaboard.

The courage of our troops is not abated; the eagerness for the fray is not relaxed ; and yet demoralization is creeping in, we fully believe, from the insane and reckless neg- lect of the government to sustain and to cultivate the spirit of our soldiery. the officers on the Potomac; and too much »Macant idling among the men, We are hinformed, #3 @ positive fact, that, in the Majority’ of the army on the Potomac, the practice of regimental drills has fallen into complete disuse.-—-Phis -wlune would be sufficient to demoralize any army in cir cumstances such as ours. The drill is not only essential for'gchooling the soldier ; it fulfils other vistty important and essen- tia! purposes. It “developes and educates the physique, fottifies the soldier against disease ; and, what is perhaps the most important moral consideration of all, gives him occupation for a portion of his thme each day, and protects him, at least tea surably, against that canker-worm of the army—ennui. What can be predicted but utter demoralization for an army whose condition is that of tens of thousands of fen, living in utter idleness, grovelling in their tents, with no other occupation than what is afforded by the greasy pack of cards that is the inevitable inmate of every tent, or the yellow-covered’ novel, whose wretched and perhaps filthy entertainment has moro than once gone the rounds of the company. We cannot shut our eyes fo the fact that the army is becoming a name of ter- ror,atd dread to the minds of our citizens. Tbe newspapers are still filled with adver- tisements of bonusses for “ substitutes,” al- though the War Department has adopted a rule restricting the number of substitu- tions to one in each company. The rates paid for substitutes are enormous. We are informed that they average from two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars ; and we have been told of a recent instance where fifteen hundred dollars was paid for the procurement of a substitute to take the place of a private suddenly constrained to leave the army. Evidences stare us in the face of the unwillingness of men to adopt the life of famine, dirt, and vacant idle- ness in the army. Richmond is filled with soldiers, who have come out of the buspi- tals, or who have got bere on some pre- tence or other, applying for discharges, and striving and wriggling in all sorts of ways to get out of the army. It was but a few days ago that a soldier, discharged from one of the hospitals here, committed sni- cide rather than be constrained to return to the army. There is no unwillingness among oar young men to serve their country.

Let- ters were exhibited, I learn, from Rich- mond, communicating ivtelligence of im- portance, and seeming to indicate that some of your leaders are paving the way for re-coustruction; and that they have power enough to prevent the adoption of retaliatory measures, whatever may be the rovocations of the Government of the Bnited States—that no political offenders have been punished, while thousands are incarcerated in the North——thut’ statistics of the army, of-all the defences, and notice of meditated operations by the government have been made known, and will be made known to the United States by the rebel functionaries themselves; and that ban- dreds of Union men are permitted to pass ad libitum through the rebel lines, Mr. Crittenden eubstantiated everything that bad been said, and declared, iu an inapres- sive manner, that one of the most taunting and obnoxious Uaion men in the South would be in Washington on New Year’s day, sent bither by some of the rebel func- tionaries themeelves ; though they might have hung him very easily, but durst not do it. Whe, this illustrious individual is, I shall know.on New Year's day. Lord Lyons looks grave under these a pliances, and J fear he has been trepanned by Seward, who labours by indirection to produce the impression that France and Rutsia will iuterpose in a certain contin— gency. ‘ Men who would be free, them— selves must strike the blow.” Let the South rely upon her own resources, and STRIKER, FOR FREKDOM—else the sooner she lays down her arms the better.

The authorities at Richmond may assure them- selves that, as long as the health of the army is neglected, and it is maintained in its dirty, sluggard condition, the drills neglected, the balf rations of commissaries winked at, the rowdyism of officers passed over, and the vacancy and idleness of “a defensive policy” held out as rewards to volunteering, the army will not bu filled and replenished but from few classes of our people. Why was it that when our soldiers were daily dying by hundreds the goveroment did not show the common ho- manity of the small measure of instituting a medical commission to examine the camps, and, if possible, cheek the progress and ravages of disease? Whi was it that, when the government had control of the whole line of transportation from the Car- olinas and Louisiana to tbe depots at Ma nassas and Centreville, and could have bought suyar in New Orleans at 3 cents, it permitted our army to suffer for months for rice, stigar, and molasses, and winked at the practice of buying sugar from the suttlers at forty cents a pound? Why is it that today thé government recks not what it reads, and tolerates habits of im temperance among officers and the disuse of regimental drills in our army on the ‘Potomac? All of these acts of omission and negligence, which have contributed to the demofalization of our army, might have been avoided. It is not too late to repair them, We are firmly convinced that the reform of the condition of our army with a wise and firm hand and the bolding out of ‘re wards not to avarice.or to idleness, but te the true patriotic enthusiasm of our coun— try in the prospect of an active militar policy and of a share of inilitary glory will provide the best séturity for re-enlistment abd the most successful stimulant to vob uoteering. e ate as firmly convinced that no other measures will réstore ‘the aptrit of the voludteer and the enth telson of the country.— Rich.

Thie part of the is not entirely satisfactory. Thé mere giv- ing up of Mason and Slidell does not set- tle the matter, though it appears they have been sent off. The Burnside Expedition, which appears to have been intended, for operations on either Pamlico Sound, the Rappahannock or York Rivers, has come to a halt from some catise,zupposed to be a demoralizativn of some of the parties engaged in it, or the sickness of McClellan, so that it bas not yet sailed. a Our friends at the North are in ecstacies at the promising condition of affairs for our cause, whilst the Northerpers are very touch down at the mouth.

Ob. ~ New Confederate Note—We have been shown, says the Lynchburg Republican, a new Confederate note of the denomination of five dollars, only just issued, which is one of the most perfect specimens of workmanship we have ever seen. The note is the work of the Southern Bank Note Company of New Orleans. The vignette is uf of a group of females, while in the distance are seen a women bearing in her hands the scales of Justice, and a vessel ander sail, indicating that the true wealth of the South lies in her commerce. On the right hand of the note is ap accurate likeness of the, Pather of his Country, the immortal Washington, and on possession of Beloxi, and probably intend to oceupy all the towns on the coast. They captured two cannon at Boloxi, there was no small arms tocapture. They bave landed from 5,000 to 7000, and will pro- bably attempt to force their way to Jack- son, Mississsppi. Another private dispatch from Centre: ville to a prominent Confederate military officer says, that indications point to an early, Federal attack on Evansport, and probably a simultaneous attack on other points on the Potomac.

Addresses had been made there by Cap- tain Semmes, of the Samter, in which he used the most specious arguments tu prove that, ifthe North had abolished slavery in the Southern States, she would turn her attention to abolishing slavery iu the Bra- sil Empire. — The Charlotte Democrat speaking of the resignation of Judge Biggs and Mr. Pattersou as members of the Convention says: “Judge Bigys ought to have resigned long ago; he holds a commission from Confederate Government asa Judge, and never had any right to # seat in the Convention according to the lain common-sense meaning of the aw.” If he does not a more useful Judge than he did a member of the Convention, some people will think he ought to resign his Judgesinp.

BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. a ge Np ge ee V TT eo From the Richmond Hraminer. Some of the wisest men of the South are affected with grave apprehensions on the score of re-enlistments. The difticul- ty of keeping a large force in the field, and the hazard to result from the dissolu- tion of old and the re-orgmnization of new: regiments at a most critical ‘period of the coming campaign, present, in fact, the ouly serious sources of apprehension for the Southern cause, .We-have not indulged, however, in any of these evil forebedings. We look at the great fact, that so far. this war bas derived all its vigour and success from the people. In no particular have the patriotic masses of ovr countrymen come short ‘of their duty or of the de- mands of theertsis, one whit The war is the people's war; they have made it; their’s is all the glory that it has shed upen our name; and it is a species of high treason to harbour any apprehensions of delinquency oa their part. True, the people have bad much to complain of in the would-be rulers, politi- cians and coutract-mongers who have had their fingers—only their fingers—in the war. True, the suldiers bave had much to disgust them with the service. True, there has been « sad absence of eu terprise, genius and energy in the conduct of pub- hic affairs, such as gives nerve to the sol- dier’s arm and kindles a Maine in his heart. We have had no Witttam Pirr at the helm of State; nor flaming comet like Bonarakre carrying consternation into the camps of the enemy everywhere around the horizon; and we have, conse- quently, had but a slight manifestation of that popular enthusiasm attending the prosecution of the war, which a brilliant governing genius inflames, Lut which a duil one snows upon. But, io spite of all discouragements and obstacles, the people will do their duty. Our volunteers will all te-enlist, provided only that the labour and the burden be distributed with an even hand. There is scarcely a man in owt artinies who makes any other objection to continuing in the service than that others remain at home equally bound with himself to serve tbe country in its need. This difficulty is, of all others, the most readily removed. This difficulty once removed, and the whole trouble is obviated. Our brave men al- ready in the camps will remaio there ; and our army will be at once filled up to the fullest standard of numbers demanded by the exigencies of the cause. The mode of overcoming this solitary difficulty is simply to abandon the system of voluntary enlistment. Why should government relinquish the most sacred and vital of all its functions—that of com- manding the services of its citizens for the public defencef, Why should govern- ment abdicate its authority at the moment when the salvation of society depends upon its rigorously and vigorously putting it in- tu requisition! Let the government order the soldiers already ia the field to remain there; and let it require those not enlisted to put themselves in the field. By calling upon a}l lo serve in its armies, it makes the service a cheerful one on the part of all, Those now in service will continue in it, and perform their duty with an alac- rity unknown before when they see that the rest of their fellow-citizens are required to do their part also. Louis Narotron would overcome the difficulty presented by this subject of re- enlistment in two days. He would have an immediate return of the able-bodied men in every magisterial district of the South, classified according to their differ- ent ages; and he would, long before the winter shall expire, have every man under arms by name to join his proper corps, and in active drill and service. Nothing in— spires more alacrity or cheerfulness in our soldiers than the fact that all are required to do their daty, and that the governinent 1s, with energy, abriity, Ppromptitude and, above all, with impartiality, doing its own. We ought, long ere this, to have had a census of the Confederate States ; and our War Department ought, before six mouths of the war had passed over, have had rolls from every magisterial district in the Con- federacy, enumerating every able-bodied man init. The volunteer system has served its purpose of meeting & pressing exigency. It would be imbecile and idle to expect it to serve the necessities of a protracted war. To attempt to carry it on farther is to break down utterly—is literally to lean upon a broken reed. Why should we attempt to convert a mere temporary expedient into & permanent policy? Is it impossible for Our statesmen and legislators to lift them- ~ —— ee to strike out uew pathways? If no the army horses in Western Virginia, they will drown the country’s cause ia the mud and mire of the old and untravelled ways. YANKEE “ BIONS” AND SPIES. t It will scarcaly be believed abroad that, in Gmes of flagrant war, while the soil of Virginia is pressed by the foot of a blood. thirsty and murderous foe, the most tender ‘and unceasing social attentions ure yet of- fere® in Richmond, not only to the vagrant Yankees, who have come -here on suspi- civus errands, but actually to those whose mission towards-ug was to ctitour throats, burn our houses, and defile our families with the brutal lusts of war. The eviden- ces of this disposition are patent and bra- zen enough. The case of Dr. King, a Rhode Islander, who was permitted to come here and take away a son, who had been taken as our prisoner in the battle at Manassas, and to pass his time here in receiving calls from, and paying visits to, certain social pretenders and jackalls, who made a “ |j- ou” of him, is an illustration of the dis- grace that is fastening upon our city, not only for the laxity of the authorities of the government, but for the subserviency and social dernoralization of its manners. The half bas not been told of the ex- ploitation of the Yankee family of Kings ia the society of Richmond. We are cred- ibly informed that the young cut throat and murderer, who was taken fighting against us at Manassas, was actualiy taken from the hospital aud tenderly nursed ir the family of a physician in this city.— Could not these good Samaritans have found some poor Confederate soldier lan- gushing in the hospitals, an object for their solicitude and kindness, into whose wounds they might have poured oil, rather than the Yankee whom they took into their famiiy circle to nurse, to pet, and to re- store to his New England home. We notice, too, that Mr. Ely, in the statements of his experience as a prisoner in Richmond, lets the cat out of the bag, and indicates the great number of “Un. ion” friends he made in that city. The New York Herald states he has come back to the North burdened with memen- | toes from the citizens of Richmond— amongst these a handsome writing case, the gift of “a young lady.” The same | paper gives an account of the released Yankee prisoners—another subject of the clemency of the War Department and General Windeg who had succeeded in obtaining maps of all the city fortifications from a Union citizen of Richmond, and in smugghog them North, sewed up in the seams of his pantaloons. We are certainly not averse to recogniz- ing the obligations of humanity even to Yankees and prisoners of war. But it is higt? time that this overdone kindness that pays sccial court to Rhode Island “ lions,” and turns loose prisoners of war and spies, with their baggage filled with mementous from young ladies of Richmond and their garments stuffed with military intelligence should come to an end.—Richmond KHr- aminer. —— THE INDIAN TREATIES IN CON GRESS., Congress is understood to have made a large appropriation out of the Confederate Treasury to comply io part with treaty stipu- lahons made with the Indian tribes. These treaties are as yet undivulyed. ‘They are uaderstood to comprise the Creeks, the Choctaws and Chickasaws, the Seminoles, the Cherokees, the Osages, the Quapaws, the Senecas and Shawnees, the Camanch— es and the Resome Indians.—Of the ag- gregate amount appropriated by the act of Congress, the sum of $235,927 —being the whole amount of arrearages, annual payments and interest due tbe several tribes as on the 30th of December jast— is otdered to be paid tn coin, should the President so direct. We learn that the act also makes an appropriation of $60,- 000 to purchase'the coin. We have only to add that it seems to be an indispensa- ble act of public justice that these treaties should be published that the people may understand and estimate the advantages which they offer, and which have induced our government to aseume the payment of Federal arrearages to them to the amount of nearly three thousand dollars.— Rich— mond Kzraminer. The Panic is Over.—Some 80 or 100 bushels of salt sold here yesterday morn— ing at auction, at about $4.25 per bushel. It was first offered in lots of one bashel, with the privilege of two, and the two first lots went at $5.10. It then dropped down to $4.50, and finally to $4.15 in lots of one bushel with privilege of five, and the sale closed, we believe, at those figures. — Savannah Republican, Dec. 31. selves out of the deep ruts of routine and re ig SALISBURY, N t, like’ = WEEKLY PATRIOTIC CONTRIBUTIONS. ‘ a : Pasapoar Oxsion, Rioumowp, January 7,.1862.

It was impossiile to Ap proximate the correct amount sent to the army of the Pesiosula; the army at Nor- folk was supplied by agents who were not under the necessity of obtaining passports in Richmond; and the army in Western Virginia was similarly furnished, very few of the packages being sent wta Richmoud. Of the supplies sent to the arwy in Mis- souri, Arkausas aud Kentucky, I have no account whatever; but the same patriotic devotion animates our people everywhere, there van be nodoubt that an equal amount of clothing, stores, d&c., have been sent to those troops. The whole amount of cou- tributions, during the last three months, could not have fallen short of three mil.- cons of dollara The subjuined list edm— prises almost exclusively the donations made to the army of the Potomac: North Carolina, $325,417 Alabaina, 317,600 Mississippi, 272,670 Georyia, 244,885 South Carolina, 137,206 ‘Texas, 87,800 Louisiana, 61,950 Virginia, 48,070 Tennessee, 17,000 Flonda, 2,350 Arkansas, 950 $1,515,898 The Secretary of War allowed me to grant transportation for the goods and the agents accompanying them trom this city tu the points of distribution ; and recently the agents have been given transportation from the camps back to Richmond. I have preserved the name of the pa- rents and agents having in charge the sol- diers’ clothing; the amount brought by each party, and the designation of the re- gimepts that received them; and these details, although probably too voluminous for the columus of a newspaper, may: be of value for future reference, and of some in- terest to the historian. An Opportunity @has also been afforded to see & people—intelligent, brave, and virtuous—engaged with perfect unanimity in the noble work of freeing themselves from commercial thraldom and the politi- cal contaminations of the North—a loyal people, a race of gentlemen, to preside over whom is an honor of which the greatest and best in the world should be proud ; and, possessing eight hundred thousand square miles. of territory, with “ Gop anp OUR NATIVE LAND” inscribed on their bat- tle flays, all the despots of the earth may strive in vain to subjugate them.

We, are grati- fied to ede thiat'tlie Richmond papers are rebuking the delinguenees of the Clerke in the various Departments at Richmond. We are satisfied there | are top many Clerks employed inthe partinents, and. that strict econo- iny would dispense with aboat one- third of the number. The people of the Sonth are fully determined to sustain and support the Confederate Government, and they demand that prudent etonomy shalt be practised by their public servants. @ have been told by several rentlemen who visited Richmond’ on buainess, that! it wus with difficulty they eould Ket | attention, although there appeared to be any quantity of Clerks sitting about doing nothjug. When they work, it is only from 9 or 10 to 2 or 3oclock. Even the soldiers can- lot get attention, as we learn, by the following from the Riebmond Ex- aminer: “ We-have alluded on more than one oceasion to the unkindness and abuses im- posed upon sick, discharged soldiers by the pertness, insolenée and vereign care- lessness with which they abe treated by government officials in the eourse of the routine through which they have to go before they are permitted or enabled to leave for their homes. One has only to go to the pay office of the government, in Bank street, to witness scenes of suffering there, and of official circumlucution and delay to which the sick soldiers are sub- jected, calculated not only to move their pity, bat to excite, on the other band, the strongest indignation, ‘The office is daily crowded with pour, sick, wounded avd dis- abled soldiers, Waiting anxiously for their pay. Many of these wietched, diseased men will tell you that they bave been in the office at 9 o’clock every morning for more than a week, and apparently po nearer getting their pay than when they first came, They will beg you to buy their claims at fifty cents on the dollar, and will tell you with all sorts of entreaty of their avxiety to get home.” It is complained that there are too may persons who were in the em- ploy of the Government at Wash- ingtok now ewployed in the Rich- mond Departments. We kave full confidence in the President and heads of Departments, but we think it right that their attention should be directed to abtises whieh proba- bly they are not aware of. While our people are straining every nerve to maintain the war (and they in- tend to maintain it until their inde- pendence is ack nowledyed) their ser- vants in the ottices should be made to work # reasunable time each day, Vor 8 hours at Jeast,- and practice economy. The government has no inoney to spare to pay high salaries to arrogant, etiff- kueed loungers. INTERESTING FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA, LyxcupurG, Jan. 7.-~he Republican of this city will publish a letter to-morrow, dat.d at Camp Alleghany, 5th instant, in which it is stated that some excitement prevailed there during the last four or five days, in consequence of a report that the Yaukees, about ten thousand strong, from the direction of Camp Barlow, were ex- pected to make an attack on Camp Alle ghany. Colonels Gordon and Scott’s regi- ments were promptly ordered to Allegha— ny; but, upoo reconnoisance being made, the enemy were found to have gone in the direction of Huntersville, where there was a large quantity of gur provisions, ammuni- tion, &e. Gordon and Scott’s regiments were then ordered back to Crab Bottom aod Monterey, where they arrived on Sat- urcay night. This excitement had hardly subsided when a courier from Monterey reported that the enemy, with 8,000 troops bad gone to Huntersville and taken possession of our stores, and it was believed that they intended to come in our rear and take pos- session of Monterey, where a large quanti- \y of provistons were stored, and by sueh means cut off our supplies. General Jolnston bas sent out scouts who will report tonight; and if the re- ports be true, our pigmy force here will fall back to Staunton. It is not suffi- cient to contend with 20 or 30,000 Fed— erais with any hope of success. Jf, how: ever, they do not cut off our supplies, and attack us here, we will give them @ very warm reception. + en wn oe eg tf A he ————.. os —_—— NUMBER 57.

VERY SOUR GRAPES, Mr. Seward says that the Southern Commissioners are “comparatively unim- portant persons.” Mr. Seward and Secre- tary Welles, and the House of Represen- tatives and the people and presa didn’t think so, when the San Jacinto first arrived at New York with them. They thought that Wilkes had achieved the most da og and brilliant deed of modern times, They resolved to hold them as hostages for the safety of Corcoran and others. Now, however, that they are compelled to sur- render them, the fox-like Seward cries out “sour grapes.”— Nashville American, The attempt of the New York Peter Funk to voderrate the importance of the Confederate Commissioners, now that he is forced to surrender them, and when he knows they will be received in England with ten times the eclat that would have attended their arrival there had they been permitted to go without interruption from bis Government, reminds us of an anec- dote told of an old negro and his rabbit. Asking pardon of the negro for compari bim to Lineolu’s Seerelay of State} a will give the story by way of illustration : Old Stephen baving “seized” a rabbit as contraband, aud having bim secure by the bind Jegs, was very much elated with his prize.

We get advices from the North to the 2d instant, says the Richmond Examiner of the 6th. Through this channel we ob- tain more highly iuteresting intelligence from Eatope in tegard to sffairs in this country. We make up from our advices the following summary : land Contemplates a War inany = Event. Our advices from England say that ay impression prevailed that England would go to war with the North iu any event, and that her warlike preparations continued without abatement. The London Observ- er of the 22d of December (ministerial or- gan,) says that England wishes for peace, but that she will gain it by war, as it will enable her to rectifv ber American fron- tiers, open the ports of the South, and give « lesson to the United States. In noticing the telegraphic summary of the Asia’s news, the London Times says: The news by the Asia is not encourag- ing. Looking at the vote of Congress and the approval of the Navy Deparument on the Sau Jacinto affair, the danger of war appears imminent. The President, how- ever, has refrained from the topic, and this goes some way toward neutralizing war- like inferences. ‘Lhe uncertainty of the ul- timate issue still remains, although the chances of peace are undoubtedly dimin- ished. The London correspondent of the Man- chester Guardian writes ; The conviction forces itself upon many that the day is not far distant when the Southern Confederation must be reeoyniz ed; and that recognition may be expected to bring about a fresh ditficulty, in which we must be prepared to maintain our pohey. It is with this view, and as a demonstra- tion of our intention to hold our own way, that the government are sending out tea thousaad men to Canada, without any re- ference to the reply of the American Cab- inet. If Messrs. Mason and Slidell landed at Liverpool to-morrow uot a goldier the fess would be sent out. If we are to bave a war with the North in connection with this United States schism, there could be no more favorable time than the present. Jt would bea short and decisive war, and would have a vital influence on the preser- vation of peace and the uninterrupted freedom of commerce for many years to come, without our having to pass through the ordeal of social and mercantile confu- sion which wars, as a general rule, eutail. Our military departments are working double time. The clothing establishinent at Pimiloo was at full work ali last night and the preceding one. It is a very common adticipation among persons of Canadian experience, that a war with this country is hkelier to end in our acquisition of Portland than in the capture of Montreal by the Federal armies. lu any case there are rectifications of our Ca- nadian frontier which can scarcely fail to follow upon war. The States’ froutier, as settled by the Ashburton Treaty, closely hugs the postage road —our Canadian high- way from the coast—along a part of its fength, The United States have two for- tified posts close upon that road, which would have to be taken at the outbreak of a war, as well as Cape Rouse, (which they have been Jately strengthening,) within 30 miles or so of Montreal. THE KEDERAL NAVY. Bngland declares the Blockude a ‘‘ failure?’ and de- nounces the Stone Fleet barricade “an act of bur- barity unparalleled in the history of wara.” [From the London Times, December 17th.] * * * * * * * We turn then, to the report of Mr. Gid- eon Welles, the Secretary to the Federa} Navy, for explanation of those hollow or enigmatical phrases in which Me. Lincoln boasts that the American navy, created since the present difficulties began, has per- formed deeds which have increased the ua- yal renown of the United States. No na- tion bas Jess reason to underrate the re- nown of the American navy than we have. Since that it rests almost entirely upon the eapture of three or four English frigates ander eircumstances of extraordinary dis parity, and seeing also that its victories were gained entirely by English sailors who had been seduced by a disparity in the rate of wages, which, if our Adiniralty is not absolutely insane, will never again occur, we have the best possible reason respecting that renown. Our difficulty is to discover how tbat renown bas been increased by the events of the civil war.» That Mr. Gideon Welles has used a certain industry in the department under bis control we are quite prepared to admit. He tells us that, on the 4th of March fast, the effvotive American navy consisted of only forty two vesseis of all classes, car- rying 455 guns and about 7,500 men—a very sinall navy for a power which propo- ses to defy all the navies of the world, and to take liberties with the commercial ships of a] nations, He savs that at the date of his geport be had imereased this small na- val force to two bundred and sixty-four : ag officis! hap, bot is nOhex h@'progeeds to telus how this 8 yccomplivtied, by hiring all sorts of commercial vessels and gathering togeth- er every floating thing that would carry a | gun. riieas figures represent « naval force — which would be very terrible to Prussia, | which might alarm tbe fleet of Italy, aad | which would call forth an effort from Spain ; | but which France cold easily destroy, and Enyland cannot but bold exceedingly cheap.

A little mau who bolds his own against a big man who is trying to bully him has every bystander’s sympathies in his favor, but nothing is more contemptible than a little man who is noisy and offensive only in re lance upon the iinpunity which he expects on account of his own weakness and the generosity of those whom he insults. ‘To sustain the pretensions of Federal states- wen to insult all neutral nations, Mr. Welles’ increased navy is still but a con- temptible flotilla. Very different, however, is its forces as proportioned to the enemy with which itis immediately matched. The Confederate States have no navy atall. Against them the navy of Mr. Welles ig as a great giant against a dwarf. [thas bo been within the last few months, when the Federal Govern ment had 264 ships and 24,000 nen, and their enemies only two or three wretched privateers, aud some craft fitted for inland navigation, Yet we believe the Suinter is still pluudering the Federal commerce, and we know that the Harvey Birch was burnt close to our own shores; we seo A “sensation heading” in the New York pa pers that the © Federals are blockading the channel of Tybee island, and Furt Putas: ki,” and we have Mr. Welles’ own testi mony that although bis navy “continued to capture every rebel vessel which showed itself on the Potomac,” it ceased to do su “when the rebels erected batteries on sun dry points on the Virginia shores, and thereby rendered passave on the river dan- gerous!" We coufess that we «re com pelted to look beyond these facts to discov- er the reasons for the tone of congratula- tion which runs through Mr. Welles’ re- port, and deserve the inersaso of renown claimed for the Federal navy by Mr. bin colo. Mr. Welles himself seeins to think some further explanation necessary. He urges, therefore, the onerous duties of blockading a coast of three thousand miles in length, of the active pursuit of privateers, and of the organization of naval expeditions. This is all very well, but it | is necessary to show that these duties have been accomplished, The vaval expeditions have, indeed, reached their destination, but, as they had no enemy worth the name ot an enemy to meet, the renown of the Fed- eral pavy cannot be much raised by what was little more than transport service. — The privateers have, as we said before, not been taken. The blockade has been so notoriously a failure that nothing but the extraordinary scrupulousvess of the Euro-~ pean powers has allowed it to continue.— Ships have passed in and out at all tines just as they pleased, aud, so far as the har- bors are concerned, there has never been any difficulty in getting into them or in getting out of them. The Federal Gov- ernment has itself emphatically admitted the failure of their naval blockade, by an act of barbarity which is unparalleled in the history of national wars. They have actually endeavored to unde what Colum- bus bad done—to sbut up from al] mankind forever the ports whici the great discover er opened to the human race, and to de- stroy by artificial impediments the gates by Which mimeo of all nations enter and pass out of some millions of square miles of fers te and productive lands. ‘This is a ertine against all bhumao kind. [fit does not cal- down universal opposition, it is only be- cause the enterprise is belwved to be as Mnpossible as its desiyn is execrable. We have nearly exhausted the deeds of the American navy during this eventful year, One act, however, yet remains un- noticed, and it is just possible that it may form the staple of Mr. Lineoln’s general and very guarded allusion to the yreat ad- dition of renown so recently acquired. — This is the act whieh has made the mayor of Boston and the Governor of Massachus setts eloquent with exultation, and which has excited even the House of Representa- dingly terrible, espe- ange wus be tad partment ; if a too generous forbear. by him in not captur- inge'the vesséf “which hud these reLel éne- mies ob board, it may, in view of the spe- cial circumstances, and of its patriotic mo- tives, be excused ; but it must by no means be permitted sto, constitute a, precedent hereafter for the ‘treatment of any case of similar infraetions of neutral obligations by foreign vessels engaged iu commerce or Ule carrying hhrady.” There is no disputing the boldness of this act, nor, indeed, the bulduvess of this threat ; but whether it is likely to increase the re- ; nown of the Federal navy, future events yet inust show. Mr. Welles will want more than 24,000 men to make good these toolish words. That he can get more, and will get more, we are well aware, for we do not undervalue the power or energy of our rugged kinsmen if they put their heart in the matter; but he will get little “renown” for his department in such a canse as that he so unnecessarily pro- claims, or aguinst the antagonist he so rashly defies. If either the discretion of Mr. Welles or the ability of Mr. Lincoln is to be estima- ted by their State papers, they are not ene- mies greatly to be feared, either in national or in civil warfare, The English Press on Lincoln’s Mes- sage--Oltd Abe “catches” it. {From the London Times, Dec. 17.] The style of the American President has fallen with the fortunes of the republic. In- stead of the jolly, frollicking periods of form- er days, each of which seenicd to suggest at its close a stave of “Hail Columbia,” we lave now gota discursive aud colloquial es- say, ill-arranged and worse expressed. Nor does the matter redeem the style. [tis real- ly wonderful, when we consider the present state of the American Republic, how any one placed in the position of Mr. Lincoln could have taken the trouble to produce so strane a mediey, so incomposite arlapsody There are several subjects on which we earnestly degire information, and on no one 1s it afford- ed. Above all things, we want to know what view the American Cabinet takes of the affuir of the Trent, what advice it has received from its legal counsellors, and with what feelings this point there is not a word. should like to bear a little of the financial revenue and expenditure 1s to be preserved in the tace of so vast an outlay.

It is not easy tosee why Mr. Lincoln should have omitted trom Ins speech all notice of the Trent.

If be means to keep them, we cannot understand why he does not grasp at all the popularity@hat is to be had in ae events shall determine for him that which he is unable or unwilling to determine for him- sell. He will not have long to wait. Bach suc- cessive mail bribgs us the report of some in- stance in which the Aterican nation is step by step committing itself to a war policy with Bugland, till, when challenged for its final de- cision, will probably find that it hes gone too far to lave any power of retraction, The vovernment has received, the acimiralty has thanked Commodore Wilkes, and Congress has now given the seal of its approbation toa proceeding so deeply offensive to Great Brit- ain. Itis hardly possible to imagine a gov- ernment sunk so far below its duties and re- sponsibilities as to allow all this to go on and rnake no surn cither of assent or dissent. The President is bound to lend his aid in guiding the Legislature to a true decision on a matter so nearly touching the duties and the charac- lives to gratitude, This act is thus dealt with by Mr. Gideon Welles: Captain Charles Wilkes, in command of the San Jacinto, while searching inthe West Indies for the Sumter, reeeived intormmation tbat James af.

We have nothing to say for slavery, butif Mr. Lincoln's description of the Sonth is indeed true, if she is fighting to emancipate herself {rom the blind tyranny of a degraded mob, from the elective judges and elective governors, he has given his antagonists a better title to European sym- pathy than they have hitherto possessed, and thrown upon Mis government the stigma of fighting to impose upon other institutions which have already brought it to the verge of ruin, But the most remarkable part of Mrs Lin- coln’s speech is that in which he touches the relations of his government with foreign coun- tries. The fact seems, on his own showing, to be, that all foreign countries have hitherto preserved a strict neutrality; that they have resisted all applications from the Sonth to make common cause with it against the North; and that they have quietly submitted to a blockade which grievously injures their com merce and manufactures, These facts would have called forth from the chief of any other government in the world, republican or mo- narchical, a gracious and eourteous acknow- ledgeiment of the respect and forbearance with which a nation, not remarkable for carrying either of these qualities to exeess, has been treated by all other nations inits hour of trial, Nothing can be more ungracious, more con- trary to the nsnal conditions of international courtesy, than the language with which Pre- sident Lincoln re-pays the consideration ex- teuded to hin: “* These nations,” he says, “appear as yet not to have seen their way to their objects” —that is, the restoration of com- merce—" nore directly or clearly through the destruction than through the preservation of ' the Union.” Vins is a broad insinuation that foreign na- | tions are actuated by the meanest and most sclish motives, and Mr. Lincoln is content, as he cannot deny that we have Intherto done melt, to eXpress a suspicion that we did: so for reasons We candot avow without shame.

If the court wants my opinion, I will say I do not think $200 bajl enough to require of a riotous man like this, who boasts that he can give two hundred thon- sand.

From the Maryland News Sheet, of the 2d instant, we clip the following ; The Montreal Gazette speaks of the surren- der of Magoo and Slidell as a bitter humilia- tion for the Federal Government. Had the British Ministry been guilty of so blundering apiece of statesmanship, the Gazette says that “the Cabinet would have been broken up, and its members ignominiously kicked out of their places.” The Providence Post declares that the sur- render of the prisoners “cannot fail to humil- imate and degrade the high character to which abler counsels have elevated this once pros- perous Republic.” Mr. Seward’s leiter to Lord Lyons is sharply satirized by the Albany Argus. He is accused by that journal with “arguing both sides, and ingeniously pausing in the middle to confess that he does not know which he has done best. “Tis attitude,” says the Argus, “as he holds hunself in, at the turning point of' his ratioc- ination is a perfect iiags The Boston Advertiser denounces the British demand as “arrogant,” and dsserts that the release of the Commissioners only postpones the issue ; while the Boston Cowrer adds—“in view of all the facts we go for clearing off the decks American steamer for Iurope. and preparing for action.” The London Lraminer, after quoting the comrneuts of the New York Times with re- gard to the object of the etone fleet, asks whether the civilized Christian world “will suffer a warfare to conunue which is carried to this fiendish pitch of destructiveness ?” “Rivers,” it remarks, “are the highways of the world, and to destroy one of these ueans of Communication is an injury to al, which should not be permitted to tie walice of any Power.” : We pubhsh this day a hill reported to the Senate of Virginia by.

We get from our Northern advices some interesting news of the Congress at Wash- ington. The debate on the war, which had occupied the body since its re-assem- bling, had turned on the Mason-Slidell af- fair which had been brought up by the President commanicating to Congress the | official papers in the matter. Pending the motion to refer them to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, made a forcible and stirring speech, of which we give a summary : , Mr. Vallandigham said: IT avail myself, sir, of this the earliest opportunity offered to ex- press my utter and strong condemnation, as one of the representatives of the people, of the act of the adimimstration in surrenderiug up Messrs. Mason and Slidell to the British ‘rovernment. For six weeks, sir, they were Fe i three months you willbe: ritain, or else, in the m basefy ‘submitted to the ft Confederate States and the t blockade: and if at war, strung and hands unnerved by si render. ta Courage } courage! courage! sir, is thé beam course, sit, that like all other similar predic; tions for some years past, in regard to our public affairs, you will treat this one also with scofing and incredibility; but, neverthe- less, I put it on record here to-day. “The prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are pun- ished.” > LR MASON-SLIDELL APLAR. IN THE SEN- 47B—SPERCH OF SUMNER. The Mason-Slidell affair was also up in the Senate, Hon. Charles Sumuer, of Massachu- setts, who acquired his distiuction in the world from the caning given him by the lamented Brooks of South Carolina, had made a long and elaborate but decidedly peace speech in the matter. He throws the entire blame on Captain Wilkes, who he excuses on the score of patriotism. Weextract a few of the lead- wg points of his speech: held in close custody as traitors of the United | States, by order of the Secretary of State, and with the approval and applause of the | press, of the pabhe men, of the Navy Depart. | ment, of this House, and of the peaple of the | United States, with a full kuowledge of the , tanner and all the circumstances of theireap- | ture; and yet, in six days atter the imperious | and peremptory demand of Great Britain, | they were abjectly surrendered upon the mere | rumor even of the approach of a losule fleet, | and thus, tor the first Grae iu our national lis: | tory, have we strutted insolently into a quar- | tel without right, and then bascly crept out | of it without honor; and thus, for the first | time, has the American eagle been made to | cower before the British hon. Sir, a vassal, or fettered and terror stricken | press, or servile and sycophantic Ponanene. in this Hfouse or out ef 1, way applaud the | act, and fawn and flatter, and lick the hand | Which has smitten down our honor into the dust. demand a terrible reckoning for this most un- | manly surrender. But I do not trust myself | to speak of it now as T propose some day to | speak. I rose only to put ov record iny ew- | phatic protest aguinst it, and to express my deep couvietion that the very war which the , other day might have been avoided by com- bined wisdom and firmness is naw inevitable, Sir, the surrender may be no fault of the Seerctary of State, but he has sown, I fear, the dragon's teeth by this, his fatal dispatch, | and armed war will spring from it In the | name of God, sir, what does England want | with Mason aud Slidell? It was asurreader | of the claim of the right to seize them on board her ships, under her flag, that she de- tanded, and yet this is the very thing that | Mr. Sewar’ pertinaviously refuses, and he on- | ly condemis Captain Wilkes because he did | not enforce this asserted right with greater | severity against the offending neutral ship.— Why, sir, upon the principles of this dispatch, if a merchant vessel, as at first intended, had | been employed to carry these men out from | Fert Warren to England, she might to-day | have been arrested on the high seas and they | dragged from her deck, provided only she } were forthwith brought back to the port of | Boston for confiscation. But more than this, England needs, I do not say wants, a war, but she must aud will have it, and this administration has acted from | the beginning as if it was their purpose to | oblige her in it to the utmost. Look into your diplomatic correspondence. Look at your stone fleet. But tet that past. Who, I ask, among all the millions of this country, or the Administration itself, in the midst of the dead calm of stolid security which seems now to rest over all, has reflected for a moment upon the significancy of the events of tae passing hour ? A British man-of-war bears to the shores of England, there to be received in triumph and with shouts of exultation as martyrs and heroes, and with the gustos of the people of England, aud as the proteges of their minis- ters, the verv men who, but for the rash act of Captain Wilkes and the still wore rash en- dorsement of the administration and the coun- try, would six weeks ago havé been quietly fanded from a private ship in quiet security as rebels and refugees. All Eurepe echoes now with their names, All Europe will rise up to do them honor, and yet you surrendered them, did you, to escape the recognition by England of the Confederate States, and your Secreta- ry of State, with christian resignation or stoic philosophy, cahuly rejoices that te effectiial check upon, aud waning proportions of, the insurrection, as well as the comparative un- | importance of the persons concerned, happily | enables the adnunistration, after six woeks of | experiment, to cheerfully liberate them, and | thus to remove the tertermini eausi belli. Sir, give me leave to say that the moment they (Mason and Shdell) stepped upon the deck of a British man-of-war, your prigoners of State, whom the other day you would lave consigned to felon's cells; becatne indeed the But the people, now or hereafter, will | | | pendent State; and I predict here to-day, in Spite of this deep national humiliation, or ra- ther perhaps because of it, and in spite, too, of the surrender, without protest, of the Mon- roe doctrine, for forty years the cherished and | envays and ambassadors of a revognised e who dispatched a party to capture the proud pokey of this government, in less than It should not be forgotten that this ques- tion was simply one of law—just as was that of a matter of trespass between individuals, the object being ta determine which was right and which was wrong. But it cannot be for- gotten that, in times past, on this identical point of law, Great Britain persistently held at Opposite ground from: that which she now takes. There are yet other points, however, on which, had the ship been carried into port for adjudication, controversy wiust have arisen. The three following points have been present- ed: 1. That the seizure of the rebel emissaries, | without taking the ship into port, was wrong, ; iwastauch as a navy otlicer is not entitled to | substitute himself for a judicial tribunal, 2. That, had the ship been carried into port, ' it would not have been liable, on account of the rebel emissaries, inasmuch as neutral ships | ave free to carry all persons not apparently (in the military and naval service of the ene- | my. 3. Are dispatches contraband of war, so as to render the ship liable to seizure ? * * * * * * * x Mr. Sumner then took up the points which has been made, that the steam packet having on board the etmissaries was on this account lable to capture, and rebutted it. He said that the pohcy of our govertiment, most pos- | itively declared in its diplomacy and also at- tested In its numerous treaties, leaves no room , to doubt that a neutral ship with belligerent passengers—not in the milttary or naval ser- vice—is not liable to capture, and therefore | the whole proceeding was wrong, not only | because the passengers were taken from the ship, but also because the ship, howsoever ruilty morally, was uot legally in receiving such passengers on board, * * * * * * * * Other authorities were cited also as clearly proving that, according to American princi- ples and pracyce, the ship was not liable to captdre on account of despatches on board. And here again we have the concurring tes- timiony of continental Knrope, especially of the krench Government, in the recent letter of M. Thonvenel. Of course this whole discussion proceeds on If they are not regarded ag belligerents, then the proceeding of Captain Wilkes is undoubt- edly egal and void. To a political offender, , the asy!um of a foreign jurisdiction is sacred, whether on shore or on sea, and the United States has always maintained the right of asy- lum as firmly as it has rejected the pretension of impressment. The Timber Contracts—We are re— quested to state, that none of the bids for umber for the Arsenal and Armory at this place, advertised for by Capt. Booth, were adinissible, the prices being entirely too high, We further learu (hat the Captain is making arrangements to get the Timber on government account; and that hé has met with one instance of a patriotic gen- tleman residing in South Carolina, who handsomely gave permission to take with- out compensation the valuable Timber on a tract of land owned by him in this State.

I hope | it will be consoling to the New Bedford skippers to know that they have supplied several rebe) vessels with excellent sails, to help them to ran the blockade at some neighboring ports. Sails are exceedingly scarce here, and the “ hermetrical seating” of the old whalers came just in the nick of time to supply the demand,” The same writer gives the following ac- count (the most intelligible we have seen) of the situation of the opposing favces be- tween Charleston and Savannah :— “It is a significant fact that, ip all the predatory expeditions which the Yankees have made upon the islands, and occasion: ally upon the main, they have never once ventured beyond the range of their gun- boats. They made an attempt! to do sv jon New Year's day, and you have already heard bow their force of three thousand men was, on that occasion, driven igno- minously back to the mver by the advance of a single Southern regiment with fixed bayonets. The enemy did not even wait to close, but ran with all their might, keep- ing a distance of at least fifty yards inter- vening between themselves aud our ad— | vancing column. “ All accounts seem to agree as to the fact that the Yankee gunboats are admi |rably managed. They range at will up land down tbe Jittle bayous of. the coast, |and their rifled guos are always served with great precision. It was probably the ; consideration of this great advantage, which | the enemy possess, that has induced Gen- | eral Lee to fall back from the shore line | of the main, avd to choose bis position for ja final stand about three miles trom the Coosa river. The position of the hostile forces at this time may be briefly stated as follows: The enemy, by means of his gun- boats, holds command of Broad river and St. Helena sound, with all the intervening ‘islands. His troops also occupy the main ‘land just opposite to Port Royal ferry, and | cap now possess themselves, whenever they please, of the rest the maio shore opposite to Port Royal island, making, in all, a | tract af about six tiles long and balf a mile wide, immediately bordering on the | Coosa rivér. This tract has been abandon- ed altogether by the Confederate forces, | which have receded about three miles to- wards the railroad, leaving a strip of rice lands averaging two miles ion width, sepa~ | the assumption that the rebels are to be re- | rating them from the position yielded to : garded as belligerents, which is the character | the enemy. ‘These rice fields have been ‘already aecorded to them by Great Britain. | gy, « flowed,” inundated by military au- ! thority, so that there are now only a faw | narrow roads by which the Yankees can push forward towards the interior. Should they advance, of course they must abandon the support of the gunboats, and trust to their own strength upon the land. “This, as near as I can learn, is “ the situation,” upon the seaboard, It is no easy matter, even ia Charleston, to get going 6a below. invincible repugnance to newspaper reve- lations; and among the genera! orders to clear and early accounts of the movements | General Lee bas an | —— THE STONE FLEB@ ALREADY A BREAD OR WHISKEY. Messrs. Hditora:—Of all the dangers ‘that overhang our Confederacy, nove as- same a more threatening aspect; than the insate disposition’ of the people to distill all the grain intg whiskey. In every part of our State is yh demon destroying the people’s food. “Tp is stated that ix one. neighborhood era are sixteen whiskey stills at work, and from one point in.

Tf the Con-: vention that meets ina few days does nol, evil, we are a doomed people. An army of one hurdred thousand of our enemy could not do us so much. injury as the whiskey distillers if not stopped, and that speedily. And it is time the papers be- gab to speak out on this subject. We Bron to think with our cor- respondent that the matter of using up the food of the people is really assuming a threatening, yea, @ very threatening aspect. We waive al- together the argument to be derived from the wse to which the corn is ap- plied, or the deleterious effects of the whiskey into which it ig made. We doubt as we have always dunbted, the pohtey of attempting to Jegislate people into morality or fobriety, since the history of such attempts is simply a record of failare. But the question is not— shall we allow peo- ple to drink whiskey? but, shall the people have whiskey and want bread, or shall they want whiskey and have bread¢ From what we bear, these are likely to be the alter- natives. Is there any doubt about which we would choose? No won- der we cannot get avy mealin town while whiskey stills throughout the country eat up the corn, Remember, we are bringing no charges against distillers; we are not arguing the moral question at all. The consideration is plainly this :—The South, environed on alt sides, with the markets of the whole world closed from ber, has jost 0 much breadstuffs and no more. She is likea besieged city, in that re- spect. She may have an abundance aud a surplus, or she may not. Can she afford to run the risk of scarcity by allowing an unlimited amount of tood to be diverted tu another and wholly different purpose? We think not.— Welmington Journal. Let the Dogs be Tared.—In. view of the great demand fur wool iu the South, we urged upon the Legista- ture at its last session to lay such a tax upon dogs as would greatly di- ininish their number, but that august hody was too busily engaged in ma- king Senators and “yrinding axes” to attend to so trifling a matter as vetting rid of an obstacle to a supply of woul, Ask any farmer why he does'nt raise sheep, and the chances are ten to one that his reply will be, “the dogs wont let me.” Ag the Legislature neglected to lay a tax on dogs, we call the attention of the Convention to the subject, in the hope that they will find a remedy for a great evil. If men will have dogs, and subject the property of their neighbors to the risk of being his troops is one forbidding, under very severe penalties, the communication of any military information, either by letter or telegraph, to the press.

Sd a) { a ° on es an Sm From the Fayettevi Ot ever. ee t Closet Generals.— An; tntelfigens gem heel Si . i tleman who has sobs inzthe SAroagy an whe has visited the “seat of war,” writes to us the following judicious observations upon the unceasing demand of the stay-at- home Generals of the newspapers, that our army should move forward and attack the enemy in his entrenchments : “The Richmond papers very often com- plain. of mod censure the Confederate, Gov- ervment for the monotonous policy of de- fence which has been pursued on the Po- tomac, and are urging “a forward wove ment.” The writer is of opinion that our Generals, have pursued the. true course, — There is no doubt but either of them would at once. ey, we can successfully storm such or auch 9 work, with a loss of so many men, The, writer asks himself, and let every father put the same question to him- nl *Am I willing that my sons should fill up the ditch!” Observe, that every. post of the enemy, as well as our own, is sedured by the most skilfully arranged for- tifications, Those which the writer has seen are generally about twelve feet wide and eight feet deep. One man, in the de- fence of such works, is equal to ten assail- ants; and when the material of our army is eonsidered, few parents would be willing that their sone should encounter such odds, ‘Theepemy, on the contrary, have au army of just such materia! as they would prefer to fill the ditch, were it vot for the fear of defeat alone. Let us hope tbat all fathers and relatives will believe, that our able officers are doing all in their power to save the lives of the gallant youth under their caré. Every day that we hold the enemy in check is a victory.” Senator Baker.—We bad the pleasure of seeing, ov Saturday, the Hon. James M. Baker, late Judge of the Suwannee Circuit Vourt of Florida, and now Senator elect from that State to the Confederate Con— gress. Judge Baker isa native of the adjoining county of Robeson, a graduate of Davidson College, who read Law with Col. John W, Cameron, and was liceused to the Bar by the Supreme Court of North Carolina.— He is still a young man, and hijs rapid rise in Florida, professionally and politically, is due to high personal character for integ- rity, industry, vigor of mind, and irre- proachable ‘habits. It alwavs affords us leasure to notice the rise of native North Uerolitians—whether “the dwellers at home or the dispersed abroad,”—and we have marked the carecr of Jadge Baker with especial pleasure, as we have known him from his early manhood, and not the less because he has bad the good sense to look to North Carolina for other things than his Law. It is the theory of our Representative system that a Member of Congress is a member froin the Confeder— acy as well as from the particular State which elects him ; and if so, we know thal *he Judge will be the Senator of Nort Jarolina, next to that of the “ Flowery land.” The relations of North Carolina to the Confederacy promise to be far more intimate and important than they were to the defunct Unioa, and the presence in its Councils, besides her own mesnbers, of such natives 4s Judge Baker and others, may help to secure her her proper share of consideration. Under the old govern- ment the Arsenal in this place, for instance, was kept down. Under the new, it is as- suming gigantic proportions, and- with its extension, the vast mineral interest of the neighboring counties is coming into notice and use.— Fayetteville Observer. Rather be a Negro at the South than a White Man at the North.—We learu from one of the Hatteras prisuners who return ed in the flag of truce steamer day before yesterday, that two negro stewards attach ed to thé Hamilton Guards, Capt. Cletn. ents, of the 7th Regiment N. C. Volun- teers, were offered, while in continement at Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, great in- dgcements to retiiain at the North. They were told that if they would take the oath of allegiance to be true to the U. States, that they would receive all manner of kind- mess, and get along a great deul better than they could possibly at the South.— Col. Dimamick, of the Federal Army, pro- posed to administer the oath to them, -bat oy indignantly rejected the proposition, rematked that they would ratber be negrn at the South than white men in old Abe’s Army.

It was this: Some negroes, at work on the roads and fortifications, todk it into their heads one night to serenade Gen, Beauregard. Pleased with their performance; he went to the wih- dow and asked them to sing “My Mary- land,” the sweetest and. most touching song the Wart has yet ‘produced. “They weré tina- ble to sing it. The next day Colonel Jordan, Beauregard’s Adjutant, who has a printing press in his departmeht, caused severat copies of. * My Maryland” to be struck off and sent to the members of the first Maryland Regi- ment, many of whom are vogglists of the high- est order, , The hint was , and that night Gen, Beauregard heard " aryland” sung with the power and path ich exiles alone cai give it. At’ its close he stepped forward and, in his modest gentle way, said: “‘Gen- tlemen, I thank you warmly for the very agreeable serenade you have given me.” The arylandere knowing his quiet habit, and thinking he had said all he intended to say, reanon ied with “three eheers for Beaure- rd,” apd were about to return to their camp. What was their surprisé when he called them to aay and unfurting a flag, said: “Gentle meh, I present you a Confederate battle flag, made in Baltimore by the most beautiful wo- man in that city.” Without waiting to hear more, an enthusi- astic young officer called for “ three cheers for Miss Hattie Cary,” which were given with a will. ‘Not so fast,” said the Major of the lst Maryland, as soon ag the cheering ceased, ‘not so fast,” said he, putting his hand ou the shoulder of the excited Lieutenant, ‘it was not Miss Hattie, but her sister.’ “ Three cheers, then, for Miss Jennie Cary,” cried the Lieutenant. Of course they were heartily given. When the sound-died away into per- fect silence, and the audience now comprising most of the regiment, awaited Gen. Beaure- gard’s further remarks with rapt attention, he continued: ‘Yes, it was made by Mixs Jen- nie Cary, and when she presented it to me, I promised her on the honor of a gentleman that I would, with my own hands plant it up- on the Washington Monument in Baltimore!” This assurance of a triumphant return to their city, coming from the lips of the com- manding General, and while their hearts were still softened by the tender strains of their chosen song of love and lamentation, produc- ed an effect on the Marylanders which it is impossible to describe. They were literally transported with joy andenthusiasm. Mary- landers who witnessed the scene, and have since visited Richmond, cannot speak of it without tears swelling up to their eyes. PUTTING OFF A SOLDIER. We have been informed that a soldier was put off the express train from Charlotte on Wednesday night last, by the Conductor.— The rain was pouring down and the poor fel- low was set out several miles from any sta- tion. Cause of offence, want of money. We were not informed whether he was on fur- lough or not, but money has been taken from soldiers on furlough. We have also been in- formed that conductors have been willing to | take what little might be given them if sol- | diers manifested an unwillingness to pay the whole. We suppose this was in the way of an alms, which was given to the conductor for bis good behavior. We have also been informed by another gentleman, of a conduc- tor who did not give him back the change, when reminded of it. This has been recent- ly. We have heard of a good many things done by railroad officials calculated to arouse any body’s indiguation, but to put off a sol- dier, fighting for the protection of this very property, in a cold night and ina storm of rain surpasses anything we have heard of yet. The soldier acted so quietly, going off will- ingly and not appealing to fellow soldiers aboard, who would have unquestionably ta- ken his part. We leave this act to be judg- ed of entirely by pubiic opinion.—{Coneord Flag. Life at the Capital.— According to the Washington correspondent of the New York Hvening Post, gaiety prevails at the Federal Capital this winter : One of the inost striking features of life here is the utter carelessness and insouct- ence of every one. From Mrs. Lincoln, driving in her gaudy coach, and Mr. Lin- colo, amusing himself with Herman's feats of“ prestidigiation,” down to the yourg officers dancing gaily at the balls, every one seems to consider the present time one especially created for amusement. There is not the slightest seriousness any where that I have been able to discover—it is all fyn. Aud any one who looks or speaks earnestly of the critical condition of affairs is regarded as a bore by all but some of the few older heads. One would think all the “ fast” boys of the country bad come to Washington, for none of the men here seem to care for much else but jollity. The streets are thronged with offivers and pri- vates, all intent on amusement, and dash- ing young cavalry men clank their swords aud jingle their spurs in dancing rooms as well as the bat-rooms, The mournful faces are at the homes that the war has made desolate. Running the Blockade.— We learn from the Mobile Register, of the 5th instant, that the Confederate States steamer Van- derbilt has got safely into New Orleans, with 90,000 pounds of powder, 10,000 Enfield rifles, and an assorted cargo. The Richmond Hzaminer says it has “a pretty well authenticated report that the Committee on Commerce in the Provi- sional Congress have reported against a suspension of the tariff during the war. yy Uy | tebman,’ 23.22 aie SABISBURY, N.C.: MONDAY 234 J 2. Postage.—The revenue from postage bas fallep the Confederate States with a corresponding period of time un- der the “cheap tates of the old’ Union. Whether thi is owing to the present High rates or the lack of stamps, we have no ineans of eniowing. We think it may be attribated to’ these as the main causes ; but! the scarcity Afid high price of letter paper, aud the fagility of corresponding with friends in-the camps by private bands, are fwo doubt o¢her causes worthy of notice. And to thts must be superadded the loss by the complete suspension of the busi- ness and sogial correspondence heretofore existing between the Northern and Soutb- ern States. -» —~-.- ~ee - — Resignation oF CamérRON.—There was considerable joy in a small circle we met with Saturday morning over the reported resigna- tion of Cameron; but in the course of re- marks on the subject, one of the gentlemen observed he thought there was some misap- prehension: that he presumed Lincoln’s Sec- retary of war was not responsible for the mis- management of the North Carolina Rail Road. Oh! said the other, is tha¢ the Cameron !—I thought it was Paut C. The mercury at onee subsided to the oint of indifference. Lo ~ > e Companies Wanted.—It will be seen by reference to Major Grass advertisement in this paper, that four companies of infan- try are wanted for local defence at the Confederate States’ prison in this town. Here is an excellent opportunity for those to enter tie service of the Country whose families, ind business affairs, prevent them from volunteering into the common ser- vice of the Confederacy, liable to be order- ed to distant posts. We think Rowan can spare four more companies for this pur- pose, which will increase the whole num- ber of h¢r sous in the service of the Gov- | instant says : | ernment to fourteen comppaics. oe £27 “he notorious Jim Lane, of Kan | advantages for investment, that it cannot sas notonety, has received the command of all the Federal forces for operations in IXansas, and will very shortly enter his field.

It is only another way, however, of legalizing the stealing of slaves, one of the offences which brought on a dissolution of the Union. ome -- “ There is a strip of country in North Car- olina which is largely disloyal. Beginning with Randolph and Guilford, it extends through Davidson, Forsyth, Davie, Yadkin, into Wilkes. But the hotbed of toryism is in Forsyth county. This county votes about 2.500, and has furnished but about 250 to 300 men. settlement, and, while the people are honest and worthy in the ordinary affairs of life, po- litically they are rotten to the core. No one can read the Press, a weekly paper published in this settlement, without discovering, uh- der the edjtorials on “Conservatism,” the spirit of disloyalty to the South.” We regard this as a vile slander on the counties pamed.

The chief production of the Island is ‘sweet potatoes, ‘which the islanders raise in great abundance. The delicious Scup- pernong grape is cultivated extensively, and during tLespast sammer the men in the regiment hade-eary good opportunity of testing ite qualities. I think if some one with capftal were ‘to locate on this Island and give to the cultivation of grapes bis whole attention, he would be able in a few years to supply a large part of our noble Confederacy with the best of Scuppernong wine, There is some little corn raised here, but barely enough to keep stock from starving.

What bas become of the eyes and ears, and the patriousm, of the true men in these counties that they have not only not disclosed, but not diseovered the disloyalty charged upon their fellow citizens? Can it be possible that a trav- eller passing through them can discover more than all the watchful men residing i» the territory? Or can it be pessible that things have reached such a stage as that no resident dare give the alarm? The charge carries the lie upon its face—it is absurd.

To tue Epitor oF tHe FLac—Sir: If there ever was ia man jo publicsiation who richly merited the abundant execration for neglect of duty that\sfed@aily heaped up- on him, that man ig Pavut C. Cameron, President of the North Carolina Rail Road Company..." a During the brief period of Mr, Camer- on’s administration, ‘there hate been more mishaps on the road, as we are informed, than dnting ‘the entire administration of the lamented Col. Fisner. A colfidion, an engine or a coach running off the track is almost of daily occurrence. At this very time, we are informed, there is an engine and a coach or two lying on the bank of the’ road. At the Concord station the engineer ve~ ry frequently runs the train one hundred and fifty yards beyond the station, thereby subjecting ladies to walk through. mud to get ou the train, and the mail cartier to run after the mail. Then look at the number of negroes that ran off and left the road. Why was this ? Simply on account of their bad treatment and mismanagement. We venture to say, Mr. Cameron’s administration than during the whole of Col, Fisher's, Why is it that the ware howse at Con- cord station is so filled with flour and pro: duce that you can hardly pass through it, and the ware house in Charlotte station, belonging to the South Carolina railroad, comparatively empty, yet ten times: as much is shipped from Charlotte as from Concord? The answer is easily given,— The one road is properly managed, the oth er mismanaged. Wich shame be it said, there has not been a single band at work since the holydays. And we ask why is this so? Simply because Mr. Cameron was unwilling to give the common prices ‘oes, Jow as they did hire. Is Mr. ding ratio? We truow not. Mr. Cameron doubt, but wholly unfit to tpanage the road. sesses large plantations in North Carolina and in the Suuth, with scores of negroes | upon them, and no doubt finds it more pro | fitable to attend to his private affairs than to the affairs of the road. The proper management of this road requires the entire ume and attention ef a good business man. Is it nota little strange that all, or nearly be confined to one faiily ? There is Mr. Cameron, the President, his brother-in-law, the Treasurer, and his uncle, the principal financier. Now we would like to know on account of what distinguished merits or services this one family monopolizes all | these offices. It is certainly not because they have done mote tor the road than oth- vers. Surely the salary of twenty-five hun- dred dollars cannot be an object to a man ,of such vast estate as Mr, Catueron posses- ,ses. ‘Then Jet him resign the post he fills and let a good business man be substituted | in his place, who wili devote his entire time order will be restored, as it ought to be, would yield a handsome dividend this year. It bas as much as it can transport, and a great deal more than it does. Many are suggesting the propriety of holding an indignation meeting at the Court house. We see vo use for this, fur the reason tbat nearly every persun seems. indignant at the Management of the road already. CABARRUS. This strikes a cord. which in Salisbury, finds a ready response. Mr. Cutneron is almost universally denouneed here as to- tally unfit for the office of President. There body complaining of the bad Management of the Road, or denouncing the President and Mr. Wilkes, (the latter a sort of Gen- | eral ageot,) for incompetency, neplect, in- | attention, &e.

BLANK DEEDS FOR SALE AT THIS OF FICE. ee ‘hope our people will not neglect so A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS. The Atlanta Oonfederacy bas a suggestion to make to farmers, which the most of them ean profit by, with- outany detriment to their fdrm in- terest ; and that isto get out timber of varions kinds thig winter : First, for making wagons. Tim- ber for this purpose is exceedingly scarce, and will be more 80 at an early day. No timber ie fit to make wheels of, anlegs it has been season- ed four or five years, ander good shelter ; and sucli timber is now ve- ry scarce in the Confederate States. The spokes should be made of tough white oak trees, the thrifty geowth of swamps or low lands. The trees should be sawed the proper length, and the blocks riven into the proper size to make spokes, and stacked away under shelter without being rained on. Timber for axles should be of the best tough hickory, and should be sawed at a mill into pieces the pro- per sizé, and put under shelter with- out being rained on. The hubs of a wagon should be of the best tough post oak, and all heart. They shonld be sawed the proper length, and a hole bored through them for the axle, aud then they should be laid away to season. The holsters, hounds, &c., should be of good white oak, and carefully sea- soned. if farmers having such timber on their lands, will prepare it and put it away this winter, it will one day come into market, at a remunerative price. Timber for wagon felloes should be sawed at the mill into broad rongh-edge pieces, of any conven- ient length, and the proper thickness of a wagon felloe. This should be of good tough ash—no other timber being equal to it for this purpose. Timber for making buggies and pleasure carriages can also be got- ten out. It should be of the best hickory, all sap, riven up into the proper size to make spokes, felloes, axles, shafts, &c. One of the greatest lacks in the Confederate States is timber suitable for stocking guns. Walnnt is pre- ferable for this, and it ought to be seasoned at least ten years in a per- fectly dry place before being used. No artificial process‘of seasoning will answer for a gunstock, Why this is the case, and why it requires such lony seasoning to fit for use, we do not know; but this is what we are told by mechanics who are com- petent to know, and we suppose it is true. If every farmer who has a spare walnut tree will have it sawed into timber of the proper size for making gunstocks, and will put it away under cover, and keep it dry, it will one day bea profitable job to him. Now let our farmers who have trees on their lands that will make apy of these timbers, goto work, get out nicely, and put it under cover, to remain there for some years.— None of it for any of these purposes should be kiln-dried, or seasoned by any artificial process. Lay it away in adry place and let it alone for years. It will be a source of profit some day. Sheep aising.—A gentleman who has looked into Southern re- sources with reference to our com- plete and everlasting independence, reports orly one item in which we are deficient. We can make corn and wheat and mea! and cotton enough to feed and clothe ten times our population ; but we are short of sheep. This deficiency can be al- most entirely supplied in a sinyle season. By not killing the lambs this season the number of sheep can be nearly doubled at once. We important a matter. Better not taste lamb for years to come, than ever again be dependent on the Yankces for anything, great or small. | Powder Mul.—We are glad te | be able to state thatthe powder mill | near this City, has gone into opera: | tion. It is capable of producing a! large amount daily, and the govern: | ment will doubtless obtain a portion | of itg supplies from this mill. It is under the immediate superintend- ence of Messrs, Waterhouse & Bowes, we believe.—/ial. Standard. Fire at Washington City.—The extensive Governinent stables at Washington were destroyed by fire | on the 26th inet. Nearly fteoo hun- dred borees were consumed. Many of them partially burned were shot. ‘Loss heavy. \ Ooih.—The ‘Richmond’ Enquirer denies the charge, made, we believe, by the Zxaminer, that the Confeder- ate Treasury had paid 40 per ceut. premium for gold and silver to pay the interest on the Confederate debt recently advertised. The Hngnurer says there was no necessity for any purchase, as the Treasury was sup- plied with enongh to meet the inter- estthen due. The Lnguirer appears to speak more directly for the Gov- ernment than the Lwamener. The latter has made other and more dam- aging charges aguinst the govern- ment, especially the Commnissary Department, than that. We shall be glad to know that that ie untrue also. The Hngutrer fully endorses Mr. Memminger’s ability to conduct properly the fiscal affairs of the Gov- ernment during this trying crisis.— We hope so.—faletyh Standard.

We believe the article was penned in Salem or its vicinity. and pronounce the reflection om a considerable portinp of the people of this State, unjust, in the first: place, and secondly, very much out of ‘place at this peculiar juocture of our political affairs, because it may have a tendency. to encour- age,—give aid and, gamfort,—to the ene— my, as no doubt the Hzraminer containing the article. will, fad its way North throogh the instrumentality of traitors, who, we learn, ara to be found in Richmond, and have been communicating regularly with our eneuiies, The article in question falls still-born, so far ay the people in this section of the country are affected thereby, So far as the Press is coucerned, it;will also proba- bly survive the charge of disloyalty to the South. In the mean time, we. held our files in readimess for the inspection of all who take any interest inthe matter. Per- hapsthe great political sin which the Press committed, {in the eyes of the “ Traveler,” is, that it never would bow the knee to modern Democracy, or lead its humble aid to subserre the, imterests of Democratic office-seekers, in ay shape or manner, or countenance Test aths and Gag Laws.— To this charge we plead guilty, amd take nures, having free Lransportauon tickets, nothing back an that score. = = —- It is well known that Mr. Statbuck ‘ner- er belonged tothe’ uttra sehvol’ of politi- cidtts, who tinde fate to precipitate this’ | country in civil wat.

It means that party spint should be done away with, at this tine, and that the houors and emulumcents of office shguld not exciasivyly be given to One party atitheexpense of the other, for partys sake, thus drawing the line of dis- Uncuion between brethren, and causing strife, dissensions, du.

Other contnbutions, from towe and country, such xs shirts, gloves, drawers, &e., were also given with a liberal band. We must content ourselves with the abovo brief sammary of the contributions fur the soldiers from this county, (not tor- getting to give special credit to the Trus- tees of Salem Femate Academy for the very hberal donation of $1000 to the Cen- tra! Committee, at a time when most need- ed.) which will suffice to show the ayirit which animates the citizens of Forsyth. The Ladies of Salem, Winstow and vi- cinity, spent weeks in making clothing for the volunteers, And when the 11th (now 2ist)Regiment N, C. Vol, was almost en- tirely prostated with disgase, a number of ladics formed a relief society, five of whoyn volanteered as nurseg, leaving confortable homes for the toils of « lite in the hospital, Several gentlemen with ther Iadivs se- | companied them, and after ministering to the wants of the sick for about two months, with the most happy results, they return- ed home, with the assurance of having done their whole duty. Does this look like there was any secret organization in this conamanity to give aid and vomtort to our enenvies, or in any way opposing the Southern Confederacy ? Let the tree be judged by its froit. In conefsion, we pronounce the charge that citizens of Salem are in ¢ortespon— dence with the Lincoln goverhment, and that “at the proper time, sonte sort of de- monstration will be made to further the interests “bine enemy,” as a base and ma- lielous canny, without any foundation mm truth, As the “-Jaaveler™ has done all he could, ander the emcuntatances, to give aid and | Thé people of Davie know the Goufeder. | comfort to the enemy, by baving the arti- ale in question pablished in a newspaper as near tle enemy's line as was conven- ient, and thus presented to the Lincoln | all alleginnce to the governtnent of the government a very encouraging, though faleo axpect of uffairs, we have endeavored to present the citizens of Salen and For- syth County in a somewhat different light.

A gentleman just arrived from Florida (says the Savannah News,) informs us that the town of Cedar Keys, Florida, situated, at ae Western or Gulf ternnnus of the Florida Rall- road, was taken possession of by the Yankees on Thursday last. Cedar Keys is a small town with about thirty houses, and probably one hundred in- habitants. The bar has nine fect of water, and is a good barbor fom suiall vessels: At the time the Yankees took the place there were three schooners loading and five fishing sunacks at the wharves. Our informant, who had an interest in one of the schooners, which ‘was loaded with lumber aud turpentine, fecls |. confident that the Owners of the vesséls it} port destroyed them rather than that they should fall into the bLapds‘of the euemy.— Some time since ¢he Coufederate troops were withdrawn from the. vicinity of Cedar Keys. On Thursday night last, as soou ay it was ascertained that the Yankees intended to at- tack the town. Mr. Yulee, President 6f the Railrdad, went down with two companies of Infantry, to protect the property in the vicin- ity, and check the Yankees’ advance. A mes- senger from Cedar Keys was sent to Gaines- ville, Florida, the nearest telegraphic office, to telegraph to Gen.

I had a new hat. It was of tes deraté mouse color. From my p&appiotiam or seme other cause | probably never lad a hat that I prized so deadly —it may be owing to the fact that when I bought it, it was priced so dearly. I likewise had a pair of light grey panta- loons. Istuck closely to them in both form and feeling—in form because the cloth was so scarce that they were cut very stuall—in feeling because I thought it doubtful whether [ could get another pair in a loug time. I furthermore bad a linen bandkerchief which if not made in the South was made first-rate somewhere. It was a sacred article to ine for it was hem- ined and marked by a few of the sweetest fingers that ever “thread” a needle. I also had a richly embossed, gilt-edged hymn buok—which was presented to me by a dear friend of mine who used to go to school with me at somewhere. Well ona beautiful sabbath I weat to caurch in Salisbury. 1 was politely shown to a seat and was composing myself to hear the discourse. On each side of me sat some men who seemed from their appearance to be sensible, polite aud refined. Their clothes were good and their mein in gener al was prepossessing. One of them was quite devout as I heard bim praying before the congregation kneeled. I had never seen the minister who officiated before and hence, as well as for other reasons, noticed him closely and paid deep attention to all be said aad did. While we were singing the second hymn my bymn book and handkerchief fell from my hand to tbe floor. When I picked it up, imagine #€ you can my horror tu find tbat iny pre- cious keepsake had spread wide open iu a puddle of saliva which my tobacco chew- ing ucigbbors had ejected in those few moinents. I loved the old friend who gave it to me so much that my eyes iustandy filled with tears. When I[ raised my handkerchief to wipe those tears away, horror of horrors! the spittle was all over tbat too, and got into my eyes and made them fiercely smart. Thinking that my face was rather uacaptivating with its filthy paint, I hung my head, when behold, to increase my coufusion and distress, I saw that when [ kneeled in prayer the knees of my favorite “pants” were baptized in the disgusting puddie, Terribly chagrined, 1 determined to leave that church of God aud seek more decent company or spend the day alone.

When I passed the stove my olfactiones were greeted by a very un- pleasaut odor arising from the tobacco juice that other profaners of the sanctuary had squirted upon the hot sides of the stove. I felt that I was in a scrape, I went to myself and ruminated. I thought that those filthy men couldn’t be very near to perfection for “cleanliness is next to godliness,” and they are a long ways from cleanliness. J thought that they had very little refinement for its the worst of manners to spit on the floor of a common house, and the Lord’s house has more claims to respect than any other, I thought I would like to reform them and revolved a plan in my mind.

C.— Observer.] Beauties of the Stay Law.—A writer in the Raleigh Standard gives the follow- ing iustances of the working of the Stay Law :— “Only yesterday, a man refused to pay his hotel bill upon the ground that the collection of it could not be forced by law, whereupon the creditor felled the party to the ground with his fist, and forced him by personal violence to pay the debt. This affair gives rise to a criminal prosecution some day, aud possibly to a civil suit for damages. Last week, one party went and Jorcibly ejected a man agd his family from a house and premises, the possession of which was unjustly detained and refused upon the ground that the remedy was dts- tant! This gives rise to three or four suits. In an adjoining county, the most violent outrages have becn committed up- on a public officer for simply doing his duty under the act. These offences are not isolated and few in number—they are fre- quent, and give cause for serious alarm to every good citizen. And the fear ts too well fuunded that this act gives such un- restrained license to offenders against cri- minal and civil justice, thatin the end, it will be extremely difficult to restore order harmony and a due obvervauce of the law.” The Morais of the Federal Metropolis —A Rich Scene.—The Washington cor- respondent of the New York Herald re- lates the following rich scene that was en- acted on the public streets of the Federal metropolis ; Yesterday an affair of crine occurred at the corner of 13th and F sts., which occa: sioned considerable excitement. The wife of a Massachusetts officer, boarding in the neighborliood, had discovered an amatory correspondence between her husband and a married lady residing at the scene of the denouement, and yesterday watched him entering the house, mto which she féllow- ed, but was ejected by her husband and the lady of the house. In her rage she assailed the house, completely smashing the windows with bricks and paving stones, and finally used a ladder, which she found convenient, as a battering-ram to beat in the door. Upon being remonstrated with by the bystanders, she exclaimed, “I ama assachusetts woman, and will not submit to have my husband taken fromm me by a Louisiana prostitute.” She was arrested, but immediately released, as no one ap- peared to make any charge against her. During the transaction, the husband of the lady occupant of the premises came boie, if they were my children or servants I but could not gain admission to his house. ec States.

The White Man, published in the In- djan nation above us, says, we are pleased to announce to the public that there are salt springs about 25 miles north of this place in Wise county, and we learn that there is a company pow at work at ther making from 500 to 800 pounds per day. The salt manufactured is of the best. quality. There is also another salt spring in Palo Pioto county, about 22 miles from this place. Several of our country farmers are now at the Palo Pinto springs making their supplies for the pre- sent year. We further learn that the salt water at each of the above places is inex- haustible, Persons at either of the places can with one 60 gallon kettle, boil off 50 pounds per day. One man could easily tend ten kettles. So soon as navigation opens kettles in great abundance will be brought from New Orleans.— Shreveport May 10—Baltimore ied by a large body of Federal ae eon, B.

Mr. Eprror:—I notice in your pa per of yesterday a call for volunteers, to guard the prisoners at Salisbury, and although writing for the public print is ont of my line of business, stiil 1 cannot stand idly by and see the bone and sinew of the countr induced to enlist in a service whic belongs alone to the weak and de- crepit, not to the strong and alert man whose services will be soon so much needed to force the invader from oar soil. Oh tell it not to the world that Old Mecklenburg, the ‘Tlornest Nest of America” has so far fallen from the position that our fore-fatuers placed ler, as to allow her youth and chivalry to guard the prisoners of the filthy Yankee, the scum of northern cities. True those prisovers are to be guarded, but let those who are unable to serve their country on account of physical disa- bilities, come forward and do this work, and let those who have al- ready enlisted plead manhood as a cause for their being transferred to a service where the brave only wish to perform.

It would be impossible for the most astute and discriminating to point out any ebange iu the posture of Northern armies or ua vies making their prospects for great achievement bebler, now than than ticy were two mouths agoi The Ipnding of Dupont and Shermun at Port Royal was really a marked event iv the -bistury of the war. But neither the expectations of the North, nor the forebudipgs of the timid portiva of our own people, have been realized from the results of that ex- pedition, Ht hus, in truth, ‘resulted in nothing. The enemy have lauded; taken possession of a few islands aud the planta tious on them; set the negroes to work ; contracted disease and small-pex, aud v:- come disgusted und despondent, ° That is all. ‘The barren results of the frat Hat- teras expeditivn ouglit to have taught then the worthlessoesa of this sort of warfare ; but they persisted, and Port Reyal is but another Hatterus on a larye scale. We beyin to cuucluce that naval expe: ditivns against exteuded seaboards, sparse- ly populated, aud atfurding noue of the supplies requisite to au army, are a useless waste of ‘treasure, life aud energy. In the long and frequent wars between Enyg- land and France, notwithstanding the ex- posed condition of their coasts, but few attempts have ever been made by either power upon the other of this surt; and none that did uot prove disastrous to the juvader. If this species of operation had promised or admitted of success, they would have been attempted more frequent. ly in the numerous Anglo-Freuch wars in history, aud.some siugle record, at least, would have been left of success; but yet not one can be found, Czesar’s invasion of Britain and the great exploit of William the Conquerer are the ooly successful in- stances we can call to rind of invasion by water; and in those the vaval part of the performance consisted in nothing mure than crossing a narrow strait of water. One of the largest naval expeditions that ever Great Britain fitted out was that which sailed iuto the Baltic during the Crimean war, under Adiniral Napier—-aud which wisely sailed Lack again; although at many points along the Russian coast, on either side of that sea, some huudred miles in extent, more eligible places of landing could have been found than those at Hatteras aud Beaufort. The English aod French did not inake a naval invasion of Russia from tbe waters of the Baltic simply because the cust ia treasure, life and energy to thy invaders would have far exceeded any possible injury that could bave been inflicted on the invaded. The Crimean war consisted exclusively of an invasion of this sort. The many farther the enee } penetrates into our it is of proyisions, the fa afready overloaded treasury.

He ran away the 16th of May 1861, after threatening bis master’s life, and he has been prowling about this neich- borhood for some time, wid was harbored, it appears, by a free negra woman named Jane Day, living afew miles from this place. Several slaves were in confidence with him, and they often met at Jane Day’s and gambled together, one of whom betrayed him.

Athough hostilities in that quarter cutail- d upou Russia the necessity of transport: ing her armies and war material over land a vast distance, and enabled the allies to reach the theatre of action by the cheapest navigation; still, it is notorious that the money cost of the war to the latter great- ly exceeded that sustaiaed by Russia; and if the mere local advantages gained in the Crimea by the allies are weighed in com- parison with the cost of achieving them, the disproportion between one and the other will appaer astounding, So fur, the Sherman expedition, though coating many millions, has really restuited | tu puthing, The army has not even reaci:- | ed the line of railroad nine miles wland, | which it was the grand object of the cx- | pedition to tear up.

General McCleilan’s 24 bag, wagons, including arrangements for eae ing and sleeping, with well matcbed nee bays, may be in good rupdipg trim, but an advance inovement of the army of the Potomag at present, and for 90 days to come, is out uf the question.

Who doth her gallant sons give up Our dearest rights to save; All honor to the patriot hearts Who drain their coffers dry, That they may to our soldiers brave, The needed help supply. Not mine the voice one word to raise, Of censure or of blame, I glory in her gallant deeds, Her well deserved fame : But there are foes within our midst, A dark and cruel band, That threaten with their love of gold, To desolate the land. Oh! ye who've power to legislate, Who make and change our laws, Now lay aside less weighty acts, And make a coinmmon cause With those who look to you for help, With those who now implore, A force to check the enemy— A foe just at the door. With deep disgust you turned from him Whose insolence did dare To change into a tyrant’s throne The Presidential chair : . And then in acts that bolder were Than mightiest words could be, With sword and cannon you declared The South should still be free! To you we look. Heaven richly smiled pon the closing year, O’er hill and dell did. golden grain All beautiful appear ; Rich waving corn the fields adorned, And heaps of yellow grain, Before the muwer's glittering scythe, Fell on each bounteous plain. Food, food enough for man and beast, A gracious heaven supplied, And uothing that our wants required Was by His hand denied ; He thought Him of the soldier's wife, Her grief, suspense and care, And toil to earn her children’s bread, And kindly placed it there! Yet men—yes, men who loudly boast Devotion to our cause, And willingness to shed their blood For Southern rights and laws, Do gather up this harvest store, Do take these children’s bread, And still a poison which must death And delolation spread ! A thousand gallons are each day, (My cheeks with shame do burn,) Withio half'a hundred miles Are for the soldiers turned. The price of bread is rising fast, . _ And many with dismay, Do see starvation's spectre form, Draw nearer day by day. Qh! does not war cause tears enough? Does it not widows make? Does it not from his helpless ones Full many a father take ? That men inflamed by fiendish lust, Should liquid fire distill From grain God meant to [eed his babes, In camp the sire to kill. We may not ask his blessing, For help we may not look, If on such deeds of death and wrong Our rulers calmly look: Ye doom the pirate to the tree, The traitor to the ball, Now weeping wives and children To you for vengeance call! Come ballot-vox, come right, come laws, Come pulpit, press and song, Unite and put these traitors down ; Avenge your country’s wrong. Let darker dooms than erst has been Since that which fell on Cain, On the distiller’s head descend, And on his seed remain. The N. C. Railroad.—We see that some of our contemporaries along the line of the N. C. Railroad are complaining about the bad man- agement of that Road, and Mr. Came- ron, the President, and Mr. Wilkes, the general Superintendent, are cen- sured pretty severely. e know there has been a great deal of irreg- ularity in the running of the trains and that local freights has been de- tained and aceomalated at the vari- ous Depots, but we thought this was Owing to the increased business of the Road, and partly, recently, to the bad weather. Government freight has so crowded the Road recently that, we learn, it has been almost impossible to get local freight ship- ed from any point. Even freight intended for the N. GC. State Govern- ment, sach as soldier’s clothing, &ec., could not be, or was not, carried, having to be forwarded from this oint by Adams’ Express. As for r. Wilkes, the Superintendent, we think he has labored faithfully to do his duty, and if he has not sacceed- ed, we bave reason to think the tault is not his. It should be remember- ed that the work onthe Road was nearly double the past year to what it was formerly. It is the opinion of a gentleman who knows something about the working of the road, that the cars have been run over it often- er within the last twelve montlis, considering the increased namber need, than daring the whole previ- ous ive years, -Mr. Oameron nisy not be able to give the road all his attention, but before censuring him 8o severely it would be well to take into consideration the great amount of work thrown opon the road by. the war, and tbe difficulties he has had to contend with. We see a notice in the Standard requesting all persons having claims against the Road to present them to the Secretary’s office, at the Compa- ny’s Shops, for settlement. The New-Born and the Dead.— Lavater, in his ‘“Physiognomy,” makes the following curious remarks. “IT have had occasion to observe some infants immediately on their birth, and have found an astonishing resemblance between their profile aud that of their father. A few days after, the resemblance almost entire- ly disappeared ; the natural influ- ence of the air and food, and proba- bly the change of posture, had so al- tered the design of the face, that you could have believed it a different in- dividaal. I afterwards saw two of these children die, the one at aix weeks and the other at four years of age—and about twelve hours after their death they completely recov- ered the profile which had etrack me so much at their birth; only the pro- file of the dead child was, as might be expected, more strongly marked and more terse than that of the liv- ing. The third day the resemblance began to disappear. I knew a man of tifty years, and another of seven- ty, both of whom, when alive, ap- peared to have no manner of resem- blance to their cbildren, and whose physiognomies belonged, if I may so express myself, to a totally different class. Two days after their death, the profile of one became prefectly conformed to that of his eldest son, and the image of the other may be traced in the third of his sons. The likeness was quite as distinctly marked ae that of the children ; who, immediately after their death, brought tomy recollection the physi- ognomies which they had at their birth.” Too Small for his Position.—That the war which the North is waging upon us is an unnatnral one, is illus: trated by the fact that Providence has provided no man at the North who is able to maraye it. Scott failed and retired. McClellan suc- ceeded, amid a flourish of truinpets, and with Scott’s endorsement. He, too, gives evident signs of being over-cropped. He has a_ larger army than he knows how to handle. The field of operations is too vast for his comprehensions. Unable to grasp the whole work in one mental conception, his views are partial and bewildering. It would, indeed, re- quire a transcendant genine to di- rect such wide-spread operations as McClellan undertakes to manayge.— It needs a renal Napoleon, not a sham. Gen. McClellan miyht prob- bly manage a brigade, or a division, in local operations, very well; but, as a New Hampshire man eaid when it was proposed to make Pierce Pres- ident, he is “mighty thin” when spread over the whole army and country. He has been a long time “petting ready,” and constructing this “grand plan.” When it begins to work, it will tumble to pieces.— Richmond Enquirer. Cruel.—A gentleman from Din- widdie, named Cummins, visited Pe- tersburg on Friday last, and leaving his horee at a black emith shop to be shod, proceeded down town to transact some business. Upon re- turning to the shop to procure his horse, to his astonishment and indig- nation he found that soins malignant scoundrel, had either wrenched or cut the poor animal’a tonne entire ly from bis month and thrown it ap- on the ground before him. All ef- forts to identify the perpetrator of the fiendish act were unavailing.— The animal is a very valuable one, and wil die of starvation unless kill— ed by his owner.

SCRA PE-BOOR: SECTION 2p. we Well, Mr. Editor, according to my luck, [ve got into another scrape. Vm net at all surprised at it for it is just a¢ natural or rather as common for ine to get into | | scrapes as it is for some folks to avoid them. I used wo live dowo on the sea- ceast and like everybody who lived there}: I learned to love oysters. I say “learned” to tove them for as it requires a caltiva- tion of taste in one sense to love flowers aod music it requires & cultivation of taste ia another sense to enjoy oysters. Welt on a certain evening, I called in somewhere and regaled myself on oysters—to the great refreshing of my spirits, for the de: lightful dish called up reveries on moon. light rambles by the sea shore and many a social tete-a-tete with the bewutiful, glad and free who were then the friends of my heart. I suppose these reveries combined with the delicious flavor of the oysters caused me to eat entirely too long. At any rate | had not risen from the table ten minutes before my sentimentalism was completely dispelled—and my feelings I thought were similar to those which caused, Lord Castlereagh to shoot himself because he had eaten so many moffine with such serious consequences. L.immediately left, determined to try the remedial effect of active exercise. It was quite dark sod still [ walked very fast for I thought the case demanded it. I found myself acca- sionally in slight mud-holes and very ship- pery places, but I only thought for an in- stant each time how easy it would be for those, whose bnsiness it is, to put those waiks in better order—and then my thoughts would be fixed on what I began to deem my dangerous situation. The farther I went the worse I ‘felt and the worse I felt the faster I traveled until I struck as good a “double-quick” as the oature of the case would allow. While going ahead at this rate, 1 suddenly step- ped into a bole or a little ditch or some sort of a place that has about as much tu do with sidewalks as molasses or resin with a fine-tooth comb. The result was—my hatin a mud-hole—my boots which I[ bought at blockade price, considerably bursted—and my general self in as be- spattercd a condition as any wood- wagon mule you can find in our streets. My only hat, only boots and only coat were ruined for the time if not forever. I didn’t say anything about filling up holes and fixing the sidewalks, that will do to publish, for T am never personal in my public remarks, bot really I should think that old and in- active people would find it a task to get to the churches in bad weather ia the day Gime much more night. But after gathering up myself, dv. | fond I was still getting worse. Asa last resort I concluded to try some medicine. T triéd to conjure up a prescription and finally concluded to take a little alcoholic stimalus. I chose this not because it would do me tore good than auything else, but because I had seen some intelli- gent people, and even religious men take it, because it was vot so hard to take as pills and a creat many things the doctors give. Of course T don’t intitnate that these men didn’t always need it, but then I may say that I have often known people to take liquor as a medicine because they wanted it and couldn't well manage to take it any other way; and I have further known soine people to take it as a medicine and be a great deal more injured by the medi- cite than by the disease. Well after look- ing and looking and Jooking I at /ast suc- ceeded in finding one place where by shrewd management I could get a little. 1 walked in and took a seat, for by this ume T was nearly past standing. I was too sick to notice who was there and said uothing but called for a balf pint of the best liquor. suppressed my grunting aod groaning until the glass was presented. Like a drowning man catching at a straw, {drank it down and there was something in it which in this case had the most de- dirable effect; for a better emetic was never swallowed by a citizen of Morocco. Asa consequence I soon felt much better and was sufficiently myself to look about and notice. Oh, sir! then came my shame ! By the counter stdod a negro boy belong: ing to a mighty good man io town and T was dead sure he would go home and toll his manter be bed sect’ me there. I didn’t have any like that he got Inst: Mon- day, he says jast send him @ quart of the best you have.” i knew then his master had been very sick and must be sick still and ¥ asked the! boy tow ‘Mri ——"Wwas. The little imp answered me with a saucy grin, which would have offended me if I hadn't remembered I was in a grogsbop. Casting my ey@,to the corner of the room saw aman that I would not have been caught 2 in a grogshop fur a hundred doltars. [of course had no other thonght bat that he had come down there to bring some religious tracts or to avail himself of ‘he privilege of talking to the poor delad, ed fellows about religion : (for you know that the folks who go to grogshopa seldom go to charch much) but then the thought occurred to me that he would hare done better perhaps to have gone to their homes or met them somewhere else. Oh bow J blushed ! bow I bit my lips! how I wish- ed J badn’t eat any ovsters, to be led to such a place and be caught bv such a mao! It.is true I heard a fellow say to this good man “Let's have avother drink,” but I, yoy know, only thought the fellow thought hat this good man thought he was sick. I left feeling I was fh a great scrape —and went to bed. Sleeping I dreamed I saw the good man who sent the negro and the good man who was there, in a great deal hotter if not worse place than a grogshop. STRANGER, P. S.—It is perhaps unnecessary to add that every self respecting man (nyself not exeepted) would be insulted. by being charged with the authorship of the above pieces for in them the author indirectly announces himself a poor man, and fur- thermore says he went (ga grogshop and drank a half pint, which he would not have done if he had not been used. to drinking. If I am poor I’m not ashamed of it, but I wouldn’t like to he told of it, and for a respectable man like me to be accused of guing to a grogshop to get a drink, would be just eause of offence. & therefore authorise every one whe ischarged with the authorship to treat the charge with dignified contempt. Let the reader beware to whom he charges it. For the Watchman. Camp FisHer NEAR Dumrniss, VaA.,, January 21st, 1862. Mr. Bruner: Virginia's soil is still pressed by the fuot of a hostile foe, and as loug as it continues to be so, [ suppose we will have to remain here, and if inactivity continues to be the policy of the Confed- erate States, when will, tohen will these trowbles have an end! for until then the prospect of making a visit to the Old North State is very, very small, as none as yet have received a leave of absence except on Surgeon's certificate of ill health. Winter has wrapped her icy mantle around the earth, and the white raiment with which she has been pleased to enrobe the earth, reminds one of the fortunes of To-day she dons her purest robes of white, while to-morrow’s sun destroys all. The soldier to-day arrayed in arms and perhaps bas obtained a wreath of laurels in some former contest with thé enemy, yet to-morrow’s sun destroys all and leaves nothing except a name, Such afate has General Zollicoffer met, Be- loved by his friends and the officers and soldiers under his command; and his brow clustering with laurels won in previous en- gagements he went into battle but never returned, Dulce est pro patria mort. Bot although nations are convulsed and are struggling in their rage to destroy each other, yet, winter without a soldier or a gun assumes command, aod with snow, i¢e, mud, cold winds, freezing rains and sleet, she holds the armies of both the Confederate and United States in their present position, and it will not be possible under present appearanees to move the army on land before the first of April. The winter so far has not been very severe, and the suffering has not been so great as I expected, as the soldiers are all well clad and have provided themselves with rade cabins which are termed winter quarters, which protect them from the snow, which has visited us frequently. But notwithstanding the protection afforded by the cabins, the icy breezes bave driven one class of soldiers who are termed amateurs from the field. They have made a Bull ‘Run retreat from the rade cabins of the atiny ‘to theif firesides and left the genwine war. a [ae 7 eet a : soldier whom they would gladly ‘rob, of this bon earned laurel to et: ibe exposure ofa winter in the army, and while I ain writing Qnder this bead lef: me give, you the history of an amatetif, which hails from ong-of the gulf States, and which I hap- pened tocome up with. about the last of ecember at the Brigade Commissary de- pot. I did not learn bis name or I wou!d give it to you, not with-sny desire to ren- der him infamous or t@ spread his name before the world but ta'let you know the man. He followed thy: regiment into Vir- ginie before the battle of Manassas and boasted what he would.do in battle, but ia the contest mentioned, he was not to be seen by any of his fri or any of the roembers of the regiment, though afler the battle he wrote flaming letters Lome giving a history of the part he performed, iu that memorable struggle, but which was seen only by bimself. And the eause of all this, as what follows will show, was his desire to wake bimself famous and to gain the good will of the Falk ons. The ladies in the vicinity from which he hails consider all the young men wWEaK who are not in the army, apd, it was ru- mored that they had formed a society and have said they will marry po, one but a soldier, and if that rumor is correct, 1t is ensy to see the cause of Mr. Amateur’s coming to Virginia and remainiog with our regiment as he always termed it. Such is the history of this man as given me by a Lieut. of the regiment as Mr. Amateur took his leave of the army for home. And I would say if this article should ever circulate jn the gulf States or tpeet the eyes of any of the fair daughters of the sunny South who have a beau in the aruny as av amateur, pass him round — he t8 not the man if you design awarding your band as a reward to any one of those who bave dared to face your country’s foes ; for the amateurs generally keep gut danger aud are to the army what a loafer is to society. But perbaps many of your readers do not know what an amateur is, as the word in its true meavioy, a lover of any particluar science and approaching al- most to the skill of those regularly en- gaged in that particular profession, you would think Le was pretty weil drilled and disciplined but such is not the fact. The amateur soldier is one who pays no atten- tion to military instruction, attends to no duty whatever, Ile remains in camp waiting for a fight. Of the present positions of the various brigades, fortifications, and so forth, 1 will not speak in this letter, All the troops io this viciuity are in winter quarters, and some of the camps present the appearance of neatly laid off villages, others again seem as if they were thrown together, by chance without any regard to last, form, or anything pleasing to the eye or senses, presentiug a broken confused outline which to be appreciated must be seen. In some of the camps there ure not two cabins built alike, in others regularity, neatness and order marks the entire camp. Among those I have seen the 6th North Carolina State Troops is the best in regard to regularity, neatoess and comfort. The regiment is one of the best in the service, but like all of the State Troop regiments, it will require a number of new recruits to fill up the ravks for next Spring's cam- paign, and as there have been several ef- forts to reeruit by enlistment to no pur- pose, the only resort is to fill up by dratt- ing. If this plan be adopted there will be a good many dragged out who do not de- sire to earn the Jaureis of war by bearing the burdens which necessity will piace upon them when in the field. But as for old Rowan I think the stigma of a draft will not have to. be placed among the laurels which cluster arousd her brow. She has, I believe, six cumpanies of State Troops which together with her twelve months Volunteers will render her safe from the necessity of a draft, I see by the last letter I received from the Old North State, which is abovt a month since, you bave Yankees, but from all accounts yours are tame and don’t run like the Yankees in Virginia, It is now past twelve, and for the present I bid you adiea.

The seqood edition of a letter to Secretary Seward on Muson-Slidell affair, which not. only treate that eubject, but ra- pidly brings dowa the pohtical history of tbe war te the last period of the faleebood aad degradation of the Washington au- thorities. We extract the followiog ns a sharp and nervous summary of “ the situ- ation :” « * * © You have essayed to give decency to the close of your letter in the following declaration : “In coming to my conclusion, I have not forgotten that if the safety of the Ua- ion required the detention of the captured persons, it woul’) be the right and duty of this government to detain them. But the effectual check ‘and waniog proportions of the existing imsurrection, as well as the comparative unimportance of the captured persons themselves, when dispassionately weighed, happily forbid me from resorting to that defence.” You are sublime bere, sir. Pardon me —do notexult. Ic is the sublimity of the unyielding liar. The commissioners are of “ comparative uaimportance.” The North was crazy iu its raptures over the capture of four “uaimportant” prisoners; the newspapers were insane io designating it as “worth mote than a victory io the field ;” the New England publicists were fouls to have given Captain Wilkes pablic dinners in commemoration of his exploit ; the government was oaly amasing itself to have voted bim thanks, and to have given him the compliments of the Cabinet. In short, the Northern public and your own government, in their exploit of the rebel emissaries were silly fouls, snd you have the grace—the unfuiliag grace of the liar, who turos for refuge to newer and grosser iaventioas—to confess it. You oan afford to pish at the rebellion. In the early summer you wrote to the French and English Governments that it was the merest trifle—“a passing change in the history of the Union.” Sine then its waning proportions must Have reduced it to something so near akia to nothing as to try the resources of langaage for ita de- scription. It is a mote floating in the sun: beams of the Union. If, since summer, the rebellion has added three States to its onfederation, it is nothing; it makes the »b of subjugation completer. If it ‘smote id scattered “the Grand Army” at Ma- issas, it is nothing ; it was “ # teamster's nic.” If, io every battle since then the thern builetins are true that “the re- als were in superior force,” it is nothing ; ‘he same veracious bulletins show that wver one hundred thousand rebels have been killed in these battles. If, sinee the yclarations of last summer, the Uaion bas ‘ted out for its defence 650,000 soldiers, is nothing; it only proves that the re- sls are in terror. If the Government at Vashingtoa is resisting the rebellion at the expense of two millions of dollars a day, it is nothing ; it only shows the “ elustici— ty of the Union.” If, since the commence- ment of the war, the armies of the Union have conquered nothing from the rebell- ion but the sand spit of Hatteras and an islet in the Mississippi sound, it is aothing; the prophetic “sixty days” haye not yet elapsed, when the Stars and Stripes are to wave over the Southern span from the Potomac to the Gulf, If, in view of the “ waning proportions” of the rebeljion, the Government at Wasbiogton bas gone to the revolutionary excesses lettres de cachet, imprisonment of women and children, con- tiscation of property, and the martyrdom of its own citizens, & is nothing ; in your owa declarations to the British Govern— ment you have decided that you represent “a civilized and humane aation, a chris- dan people.” Sir, I conclude. I drop the mask of ironry. Itistoocold. In mendacity you have made no converts ; in poltroonery, you have disgusted your friends and fuiled to satisfy your antagonist. Despite your fears and maudlin apologies, you have one resource of courage left. It is said to be recent with you: it ie habitual intoxica- tion. The coward that has once grovel: lec at the whip finds in drink an apt etim- ulant for new exploits of bullyism. England is not propitiated. That An glo-Saxon spirit which affords the example of the mixture of national pride with af- fectionate attachment to the glory and in— terests of its coantry; which overrides ministries, and dictates to its government with more than democratic vigour and ef. fect; which, though passionately devoted to commerce, bas never hesitated tu make any sacrifices to the fires of its patriotic indignation is not to be allayed by thie shuffle of cowardly apologies; especially when it continues to be fretted and exas— perated by new adventures of your cow- ardice ; by insults and indecencies of the press; by paper blockede; by the at- tempted destruction of harbours ia which the world is interested ; by crimes against bamanity; avd by a distinct menace of revenge roade by yourself, should Kagiand ieee i 4 | fot Noeragh) and:spedogaise the {Bouttern my OF Feballion @oea mot * Blockiil- ed, cut off from the world, without manu- factures, without commerce, with a scanty supply of arms, with no accidents of for- tune to assist it, the rebellion bas passed the crisis of its reputation, and awells into the grand vocal march of an approachiog triumph, It baa inecribed its bapners, with glorious names; Bethel, Menabsus, Spring: tisld, Lexington, Carnifax Ferry, Leesburg, Atleghany +s it bas betd the armies of your goverment in check in the passages of eatucky and on the coast of the Atinntic; it bas lost neither ground nor prestige, but bas gained in both; it glances along the banks of the Potomac from its broken mountain source to the lauseapes of the Rappahannock, and flovts its flag in sight of the defences of your capital.

Iam, &c., ‘THE SOUTHERN SPY. From the Richmond Examiner. It is worthy of some pains to ascertain the exact condition of English sentiment towards the Confederate States. The en- quiry demands a libetul exercise of can- dor, and the discardal of all undue self. appreciation. We must uncrown cotton for » moment, and sondescend to change the geographical position of the South, from ite throne on the hub of a revolving universe, toa situation nearer the pert- pbery of the wheel. Great Britaio is as moch interested, and her pride as much enlisted, in demonstra- ting her independence of Southern cotton as these States ure ivterested in making good their muependence of the North.— That is too proud » kingdom to surrender her independence at discretion, to the ve- ry loud and peremptory ordets she has re- ceived to that effect, from a rather motley set of cotton princes iu the Southern States. All dependencies in commerce are mutual; and England naturally considers that sho is no more dependent upon the growers of cotton for existence, than these gentry are dependent upon ber markets for subsistence and prospriety. It has long been her desite to encour- age the cotton culture in other quarters of the earth, and she may consider with rea- son that to hold otf from our markets for some time, under the pretence of respect- ing the blockade which has closed them, will encourage experitnents in cotton cul- ture on so large and wide-spread 4 scale in other quarters, as to effectually test and finally sulve the problem of absolute de- pendence upon the Southern States.— While our ports were open and access to our crops free, it was impossible to inau- gurate this important experiment on an ample scale, without offering public boun- ties of such a magnitude us government could never dare to grant. The present war and blockade afford England an op- portunity of putting the great question to the test, which, if it result in a successful solution of tbe vital problem of an inde- pendent cotton supply, will compensate her for even greater calamities than we in the South are in the habit of predicting will betall her from the loss of a singe cotton crop. We in the South are confident that the experiinent will fail; and, although our opiuions are founded on reason, they may be due in purt to the strong interest we have in that view of the question, the wish being father to the thought. But Eng- land Las equally as strong a bias towards the opposite opioion ; she has too strong an juterest to give up the question with- vut a struggle worthy of the magnitude of the interests involved. Now is it unuantural to suppose that her pride has some influence upoa con- duct as well as her interests; for our peo- ple Lave been somewhat loud-mouthed aod arrogant in boasting the power they held over her in this matter of cotton.— Were England ever so amicably disposed towards us; were she even as atfection- ately attached as sister to sister, still ina mere spirit of wischief, if not uf utfended pride, she might be provoked by these boastings to # little reserve and Aauteur. If she must surrender to cotton, pride would counsel her to postpone the capitu- lation to the latest possible moment. But it would be a grievous mistake to suppose that the inhabitants of the three kingdoms were exclusively interested in Southern trade. This interest in our great staples scarcely exceeds two hundred millions a year; and yet they are kaown to hold State and railroad stocks, lands and other property in the North, to the value of five or six hundred millions of dollars at least. Obe single railroad of the North, the Illinois Central, that in which Richard Cotrden has 20 large a stake as to attach him to the Northern dare to determine a mere question of fact side in this quarrel, is owned in the pro- Anvestment ia the properues and adh smes eee portion of wi! t.. and tea cans EE e with the gremt N. York and ilghad. scarcely a railway lige of leading impor- tance in that section that is not largely owned by British capitalists. That this clase of forelguees have dipped dgply also into the land speculations of the North- west is notorivus; and infinite are the forms io which British capital hae found —— — teeick-aetll of the Yankee race. All the large and respectable importing and banking-houses of New York, Phila- delphia and Boston were contained in part of British partners: and much more is the case with the extended shipping inter- ests of that section. Those men of public spirit in the South who have been engag- ed in efforts to establish direct trade be- tween our ports and Europe well know what coldness and opposition they encoun- tered from the mercantiie public of Great Britain; while the French aiways listened to their views with favour, and enlisted in their plans with zeal. ‘The explanation of the two facts js simple. France bad few vested interests in the North, while Great Britain had vested interests there amount. ing to many hundred millions of dollars. It was not to be expected that the English merchant, sesiiy renee in the shipping trade to New York, part owner of the Cunard snd other ocean steam lines, as fully interested as any Northern merchant in the jobbing trade of New York with the South, should help break up the establish- ed course of business, and should encour- age enterprises set on foot in direct rival- ry and competition with them. In the light of these recollections and facts, we cad readily understand the fre- quent outyiviogs of the European advices, to the effect that France is warmly urging England to recoguize the Confederate States, while the latter power hesitates and continues to hold back. We cannot mis- take the popular feeling in England. It is all on ove side. It was strikingly ex- hibited in the affair of the Trent. The) Palmerston Ministry, sold to the commer- cial classes, afraid generally to raise a fin- ger io anger, lest it should effect the inter- ests of these people injuriously, and yet time-serving and popularity-greedy, was forced to venture a hostile demand upon the Washington Cabinet, though tremb- ling at every gale that blew from the West afterwards. The Zimes, too, equally sub- servient to the money interests, and ha- ting the Yankees with a cordial hatred, but dexterous in avoiding the chill blasts of popular displeasure, immediately seized hold of the surrender of Mason and Slidell to gratify its monied masters by scoffs at the South. We must not disguise from our minds the fact the active mercantile interests of a in Great Britaigi , Indeed, then |, Great Britain are, as a body, hostile to etcccnead ie hat @eéjabdeacgred ta eh ay» fo the South, ' puthiged iN ortlns an i ‘ bis pains. Labouring under all these ad- vantages, so many of them self-imposed, we have atill struggled successfully, and shall continue to do so. Better to fight on and owe our deliverance to our own right arm, than to cotton or to England, oe aes er, fo: any other adveptitipus auxiliary. Who would be free themsélves must strike the blow. Ghe Watchman. SALISBURY. N. C,: — > --— MONDAY EVENING, FEB, 10, 1868. The critical period of the struggle be tween the North and the Suuth is rapidly approaching. The first two or three months of Spring may decide the question of inde- pendence or subjugation. The South bas every thing staked on the issue. I! beaten and compelled to surrender, we sball lose our property of every kind and our liber- ty, and thousands of our people will be bung as traitors. In short, we shall be utterly ruined; for our “ Northern breth- ren” have bat too clearly shown, during the past year, » depth of hatred which no ordinary plumet line can sound. They believe they will be rendering God service to “wipe” us from the very face of the earth ; and under the operation of their confiscation laws, those who might escape the sword er the halter, would only gain the fate of hated. out-custs, driven in besds from place to place to starve, or to drag out a miserable existence beneath the re- vilings, scoffs, and oppression of insolent and unpriocipled robbers. It would be better for us, asa people, tbat the last man, woman vod child should fall by the sword, thav that we shuuld allow ourselves to be brought under the dominion of our North- It would be better to ter- minate our existence in bravely defending our rights, than to full from the estate of freemen into the degredation we would be subjected to by the bigouted and insolent foe with whom we are cuntending. But if we will eoutinue true to our cause and to ourselves there is little reason to fear. God helps those who help them- selves ; and His continued favor will crown our continued efforts just in proportion as we exert ourselves with due reference to ern assailants, any measures whicli will imperil their large | principles of righteousness. interests vested at the North. The heavy | taxation that is about to befall that section, acting in conjunction with the political troubles of the country, will rapidly un- seat their interests, and, in tbe course of time, sever the bonds which bind the Eng- lish mercantile classes to the North; but, until this separation is etfected, we must expect to see « formidable opposition ex- erting itself in Great Britain against a zeal- ous espousal of the Southern cause. As a tnercantile proposition, the new relations of the South to the world pre- vents this chuice to merchants of Enrope more especially of Great Britain; wheth- er they will continue to share the profits of Southern trade with the Yankee, or will unite with the South in kickiug the Yan- kee out of the question and take the whole trade to themselves. The choice of the latter alternative can be, of course, only a matter of time. But time is requisite to the foreign merchant to extricate himself from former, complications. The leadivg interest of Great Britain 1s her commerce. The popular voice in that empire may be overwhelmingly in favour of immediate recognition, alliance, and treaty; but as strong as this preponder- auce of sentiment may be, yet there is no class in the nation jwho would be willing to sacrifice the great commercial interests of the empire in carrying ay policy into execution. A nation that Rves and bolds its power by commerce, will, of course, subordinate its political policy to the in- terests of that commierce; and it requires a much longer time for these interests to be disengaged and ‘concentrated at home than thoughtless persons suppose. Eng- land could better afford to lose a cotton crop than to sacrifice interests and invest- ments in the North amounting to double the value of the crop and all profits from it. While the interests of England enforce upon her the observance of the maxim, festina lente; the permanent interests of the Confederate States require that their independence should be self-achieved.— They are labouring, indeed, under the dis- advantage of struggling against heavy odds, Our enemy boasts of a population counting more than two to one against us. His open trade with Europe gives him the advantage of drawing upon the unlimited resources of that continent for arms and war munitions, The policy of our Feder- al Government bad for fifty years been studiously devoted to concentrating all the mannfactories of arms’and war material of the government in his section of the Un- ion. The only Southern Secretary of War The greatest danger that threatens us at this time is to be found in the prevalent feeling of security, and tbe consequent re- laxation of efforts to repel the enerny. The past successes of our arms may prove our ruin, if, content with ther, we should neg- lect preparation to meet the enemy in bis first demonstration in the opening of the Spring campaigns. He is just now fairly getting his eyes open: be begins to see that the Southern Confederacy is indeed becoming a fixed fact ; that be is about to lose a market for bis yankee tricks which will absolutely ruin his commercial pros- pects for many years to come ; that bis injustice to, and aggressions upon, the rights of the South, through many long years, all woarked with unceasing remon- strances as they are, is about to be visited upon hinmeelf iu the shape of ruined cities, rusting factories, bankrnptey and tmoral disgraee. ‘Tbat the immense trade of the South upon which he fattened until pride and arrogance usurped the place of equity aod fraternity, bas sitjiped away from him, and js about being transferred beyond the seas. Under the pressure of these reflec- tions he is at this moment exerting every power at his command to accomplish the de- struction of our yuvernment, and the defeat of our separate independence. He will come into the field in the Spring with larger armies and more efficient engines of war, and then, if ever, we should be ready to meet him and dispute bis advance. The justice of our cause, and sacredness of the interests involved in the issue of this strug- gle, appeal to us in thunder tones to be up and doing, preparing to meet him. The ranks of all our regiments should be filled without delay, and other regiments added to the number. Work, work, give, give, and fight to the death, should be our watch- words for the year 1862. The people, by their individual and col- lective efforts, have out-stripped the Gov- ernment in this strugyle—have led the van, and rather drawn after them the screak- ing wheels of the Nation’s new machinery, | and upon the. people, even yet, rests the responsibility of success or failure. They have, for about one year, presented to the world the sublime spectacle of a success- ful rise in defence of their most sacred rights, improvising armies, and all the ma- terials for a vigorous war against an old government with established facilities and enormous resources. Let them not, now, from a mistaken security, abate one jot or tittle of their zeal in the cavee until they shall have wrung from their sssgilsats such terms of peace as sball fittingly adorn t nore Be tee in the affairs of nations, a8 10 the affairs of men, which improved or neglected, give success or fail- ure for all time to come, We believe next three or four monthe will constitute to the Southern Confederacy such a puint or tide; and that if we improve it as we may, this generation will be bieseed by te Jescendanta for ages to come. " Some of the most earned and sagacioup men in the-venemies Country, after « re- view of the past year's operations ju the field, and all the complexed questions sua- pended upot thie war, regard with fear and trembtiag the uobroken power of the “rebellion. a the South,” (as they are pleased to cull it) and’ roundly declare, “woe be to thie natign (Lincolndom) if another May sball find the rebellion still haughty wid defiant.” The most nataral interpretation of this prophecy is, a return upon themselves of all the woes they bad vainly sougbt to bring upon us; a resnls at once well merited by them, and iull of instruction to the world. We may rés sonably expect that the evil wind whieh that hoary prophet, Hurace Greely, thus tremblingly ansouaces, will blow good & somebody, fur it is a very evil wind that does nut. And considered by the rule of equitable award, we ¢avnot but hope, im av over-ruting Providence, that the South ero Confederaey will have renewed cavum for public thanksgiviog and praise. Our present and urgent coucero should be t promote, in every possible manner the safety of our cause, and be ready, aye, READY to assert and defend our rights, and protect ourselves and oar all against our epemies, now and at all times. Ifthe montb of May should roll around and find us thus successfully engaged, we will ao~ cept her beantiful flowers, green fields, and singing birds, with hearts glowiog with gratitude to God for his benignity, and softened with pity for those whose wrong} und aggressions, evil passions aud juste have led them to incur overwhelming woes. Our security is in being ready for any emergency. THE SABBATH. We observe a movement is on foot & petition the Congress of the Contederate States, to abolish Sunday mails. It alwaye Appeared to us as a strange inconsisteney in the Government of the United States, which professed to be a Christion Nation, should habitually and constantly violate one of the distinguishing requirements of the system it professed. There is no com- mand in the Christian decalogue mote positively enjoined than the observance of the Sabbath. There is no sin forbidden Jn the Bible fur which Nations bave been more frequently and terridly scourged than for the violation of the Sabbath. ‘There is no command more fully sustained by sound reason and the Jaws of plysical nature, than the obseryance of one day in seveD as a day of rest. There is none, the observ avce of which, more manifestly fits mmo for his chief end. Hence, it has ever béén a matter of astonishment and grief to Christian people, that the Nation, profese— ing Christianity, sbould yet most Sayraut- ly and unnecessarily violate it, Aud it 38 fron this view of the case, regarding our present National troubles us a just punish- ment for our sing, that it is propused Bo petition Congress for a discontinuance of the Sunday mails. Having acknowledged the God of the Bible as vur God, and bay ing appealed to Him as our judge and ab mighty belper in this our strugyle—comm— mitted to Him our cause—there ought de be » corresponding submission to Lis e— quirements, Nothing is plainer. Such is the view taken of the subject by the Christian people who have under taken to bring it before the Congress. Is appeals with the sanction of every consid— eration of interest, both for time and cter- pity, to all our citizeus, and especially a those who acknowledge the Sovereignty of God over the affairs of men aod Nae tions ; and we believe if the effort be made iv a madner equal to the importance of the subject, it will command the ready action of Congress, and we shull soon bave reason to rejoice in the good fruis of obe— dlence to the only King whoin Arwricass can ever acknowledge. —-- o> = Toe “ Danvitte Connection.” —The Oon- vention of North Carolina has granted a Char ter to the Piedmont Railroad Company, for what is commonly known as the “ Danvilly Connection” ~—provides for the building of a road from some pvuint on the North Carolftm Railroad to Danville, Va.

The Reindeer broaght up 4s prisoners twa bright malattoes, who are charged with ferrying retiwis across the Potowac from the Maryland to the Vir- gina side, hetween Marshall’s and Holland Points. The evidence against them je ve- ry positive. They were comunitted to jail this morning. The rebel battery at Cockpit Point is very active, and fired several harmless shots at the Reindeer. The other day the rebels threw a shell over on the Maryland side weighing one hundred and four pounds. It ploughed up the ground for some distance around, but did not explode, All amall boats passing from shore to shore are now carefully watched.

What we are Fighting for.—The malignant hate of the Yankees to- wards the South developes itself more atrd more every day. We most not fora moment forget, that it is their purpose, net. only to subjugate and hold these States as conquered provinces, but to confiscate every particle of property, real and perso- nal, owned by every Southern man. The bditls before their Congress, whieh will undoubted|ly pass, declare this most: emphatically. Ina de- bate in the House of Representa- tivea-a few days ago, Mr. Bingham, Chairman of the Judiciary Commit- tee, daid, “fe hoped all would agree to confiscate rebel property wherever Soukd, ind tt was thetr to pass without dday, not only a bill to con- Jisoate the property of rebels, real per- sonal and taxed, but” tw do more, that'we do not think it expedient to mention. If, therefore, the people of the South do not mean to be strip ped of their last cent, they roust fight this war, with their men and their money, to tho last man and the last dollar. Slightly Hxaggerated.-Among the Yankee accounts recently published, was oné front tue expedition under the Datch: General Max Weber, which lately ventured to visit Beth. el, after betng satisfied that no “reb- els” were there, in which the writer says that “a regiment of blacks ac- tually attacked, fired on and wound- ed the 20th German regiment.” The Richmond Diepatch, noticing this, says, ‘fon tho authority of an eye witness, that, in the particular fight referred to, there was one ne- gro, and only one, and hence the story that there was a regiment !— Well, this is moderate, considering that Yankee accounts have general- ly no foundations at all. The loyal African referred to was a good shot, and ae-he “drew a bead” on his gan not less than thirty times, it is prob- ably that he abolished at least that number of Yankees, and that they migitt-have reasonably imagined that a whole negro reginent was firing into them. We have no doubt, that everything about the Yankee booked very Black just at tionerg. for) mre nate that time.” | fe “We ty a3 et i use Seely ue, &! eer . & F i E i ————- JANUARY. 19383 4 5 6 7 8 91011 » 12 18 14 15.16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 --ny 26 27 28 29 80 31 Freprvuary : 1 98465 @ 7 8 9 10 11 12 18 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 298 Marcu L 1 : 28 4 5 6'T 8 ~9 10 11 12 18 14 15 ‘16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 238 29 30 81 ApRiu 123.4 5 6 7 8 94011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Mar 12 3 45 6 T 8 9140 11 12 £8 14 15 16°17 18 19 20 21 22 28 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 JUNE 12383 4 5 67 8 91011 12 18 14 1§ 16 17:18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 JULY 123 4 8 6 7 8 910 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 81 Aveosr 1 2 8 45 67 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 94 25 26 27 28 SEPTEMBER 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 11 12 18 14 15 16 17 18:19 20 21 22 28 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 OctToBER 123 4 5 6 7 8 91011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 24 26 27 28 29 80 31 1 6 T 8 3 14 15 21 22 28 29 NovEMBER 23 4 38 91011 12 1 16 17 18 19 20 . 23 24 25 26 27 30 DrcemMserR 12 38 4 7 8 91011 1415 161718 21 22 23 24 28 29 30 31 5 6 12 13 19 20 26 27 — CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.

THE COTTON BELT. M.Bellot des Minieres,a l'rench-man,pudlishesa pamphlet about the growing of cotton,and the re-gion adapted to ite growth.Ile sets out with the broad assertion that the ‘Southern States alone possess the conditions of climate and soil,essen- tial to the production of cotton suit:able to commerce and profitable to industry.In India,where England has made so many efforts and spent 80 muchmoney,to naturalize the plant,the climate is very unfavorable to its cultivation.There is too long a wet NUMBER 62. rica,in the greater part of India andinallthetropics.Neither can cot- ton be successfully grown in coun-tries where the atmospheric varia- tions are divided into two seasons,one rainy and the other dry.The superabundant rains of the Tropicsgivetotheplantanunhealthy growth;and the excessive heat,or moisture,causes the bloom to fall,and injures the quality of the article.The Southern States alone possessthecombinedrequisitesofsoiland climate for its full and profitablegrowth.The reason of this highprivilegeistobefound:in their eit- uation between the Gulf-stream andtheRockyMountains—producing that peculiar temperature to be fonnd nowhere else.England las been striving for fif- ty years,and striving in vain to make herself independent of the cotton of the South.If labor and gold could have effected the object,she would haveattained it.M.Bel- lot does not believe her present ex- periment will have any better suc-cess than her former ones.But ifsheconldsucceedinobtaining enough cotton to keep her spindles running,it would be of a quality in feriorto that of America;and France and other manufacturing countries that should adhere to the American, would,by using the better article, drive English yoods out of all the warkets of the world. But,we all know that English stocks are running low,and thatwithallthesuppliesthattheold and new world ean yield her,herspindlesmustsoonbecomeIdle.It is only a question of months.Five millions of English derive the means of subsistence,directhy or indirect- ly,from the manufacture of this ar- ticle.Without it,they must be re- duced to starvation and beggary.— It may be that the British Govern- ment would,sooner than incur the expense of a war,undertake to sup- port these paupers out of the treas- ury.if it could see the certainty of a cotton supply at an carly day.— The Yankees have been promising this supply,by opening a Southern port.Possibly England has beer to some extent deluded.But she spell,and too long adry one.The heat is too intense,and the winds| are very destructive to the plant.—| Besides,the seed has to be renewed | Southern States will come to matu-|rity.This fact puts the whole crop |at the mercy of this country.If we! ‘refuse the seed,there will be no| yield,The satne difficulties apply to Cen- inust see now the imposition—as the Yankees are compelled to go to Liv- erpool for their own supplies.A few months more or less,must then every year,and only seed from the determine the question.—RichmondWhig.

CAPTURE OF ROANOKE ISLAND, With the most painful émotions we record to day the capture of Roanoke Is- land,with our brave men who were plaeed there by the government with ineffident means to defend it.We are deeply griev- ed at tbe resuit,but we are not disappoint- ed.Our readers know that for months we have importunately warned the gov— earninent of the eertaiuty of this calamity, if the most effective measures were pot taken for its complete defence.From thedayGen.ill was removed from the charge of our coast,and a political general appointed in his stead,wholly unacquaint- ed with military affairs,we bave bad but little hope of protection to the northerndepartmentofoursea-coast,Who was in strumental tn his removal?Let them be known to the people of North Caroltna, that their names may go down to posteri- ty,as recreants to her cause und her peo- ple.We believe we are ov the track of the partizan leaders who did this thing. Whien the facts are fully ascertained,the people vf North Carolina sball know whotheyare.For this wicked interference, North Carolina now mourns the death and the mangled bodies and the capture of many of her sons.We erroneously stated upon rumor in our last,that Gen.Huger bad taken com- mand in person on the Island,with 6,000 troops.Not a word of this was true. General Ifuger bas not been upou the Island,and from the fu'lest accounts we can get,we had only 2,300 fighuog men on the Island.Col.Shaw’s regiment of State Troops, pretty well equipped we believe,bas been stationed on the Island for some time. At the time of the battle,it had about 6 or 700 effective men.After the retnoval of Col.Wright’s Georgia regiment fromtheIsland,Col,Jordan’s regiment was sent there from Fort Hill.At the time of the battle,owing to sickness and other causca,it could muster only about 4 or §00 effective men,and they were armedwiththeoldflintlockmusket.Besides these there were some 200 of the 17thregiment(Col.Martin’s)the remnant that were on furlough at the timeof the taking of Hatteras,To these were added rein-forcements from Gen.Wise’s Legion, about the time the battle commeuced, making about 2,300 to 2,500.Who was in command,as vet we have no means of knowing.Geo.Wise wassickandnotontheIsland.Col.ShawwastheseniorColoneloftheN.C.Troops. fight continned all day,and @ndedwhennightclasedin.J~On Saturday the battle was renewed by the enemy,when jt was supposed he landedabout15,000 men.The tight is said to bave been desperate.‘The Virginia papers only mention what the Virginians did,but we are sure all fought with the cour- age of men resolved upon victory or death.Our little fleet behaved admirably. Tbe Curlew was sunk,but her crew és. caped. ing expended their atumuunition went to Elizabeth City to replenish their store andtocarrydowntheWiseArtillery,but theydidnotretura,Our forces having expend- ed their amwunition,were compelled tosurrendertoanoverwhelmingfurceabout 4 o'clock on Saturday,It is said that we lost 300 in killed and wounded and 2,000takenprisoners.It is further said that the Yaukee loss was about 1,000 killedandwounded.About 250 Wake county men belonged to Col.Jordan's Regiment. A !ate despatch reports that the enemy had attacked Elizabeth City,and that the town is laid in ashes. The Distillery Question.—A memorialwasrecentlypresentedtotheConventionfromthe84thRegimentNorthCarolina Volunteers (Col.Leaventborpe,)asking that some steps may be taken to suppress or mna- terially abate the distillation of the grain of the country.The memorial was referred to a committee,and that comniittee,thro’ their chairman,W.F.Leake,Esq.,has re- ported an ordinance on the subject.Lt pro- vides that every uwner or agentof w Still, before working the same,shall apply for x license,which license shall oot be granted for a term exceeding one year,the per son getting the license to give bond,with two good securicties,that he will faithfully comply with the provisions of the ordinance and pay the tax therein imposed5 any one ruomogastill without a Heese to pay a fine of one bundied dollars and a double tax. This is the substance of the Ist section. The second section imposes a tax of fifty cents upon each bashel of grain distilled. The number of bushels of grain so used to be listed,under vath,at the time of listing other property for taxation—those failing or neglecting to make returns,to pay a fine of one thousand dollars,The ordinance to remain in force until the termination of the present war,and for one year thereafter, and no longer.

This has been a question for some time with the people.From the present aspect of affairs,we are inclined to the opiuion that a draft will be made,and at no distant day.Guilford county bas doue well,so far in this contest +but it remains for her to do raised,either by voluntary enlistinent or by being drafted.We hope her brave suns will uot xuffer themselves to be drafted to maiotain and defend every thing dear to them;but that they will rally to the stan dacd of their country’s,defence,with a determination to conquer the vandal enemy whuse foot oow pollutes the soil of our State. Mr.Shober,of this place is now in the field for the purpose of organizing a Com- pany of infantry,ia which we hope he may succeed.Without pretending to make any invidious distinction,we must say that we know of no man better quallitied to inake an efficieut and popular officer thac is Mr.Shober.See bis notice in our ad- vettising coluinus.—Greensboro’Patriot.

The little fellow conversed so promptly and¢seemed so good,that the Duke pre- pared to send him to the Military Asylum —a place where the orphans of soldiers were treated tenderly and sent to school. One day the gentlewan who brought tnis dhild to England,wae carrying bim to “bother great man to get a paper that would give little charge a right to a bome in the Asylum,when be met a soldier wlio belonged to the same regiment of this eee father.He asked him if be koew “ew Bergeant McCullum who was killed at @ certain battle in Spain.“No,”said the soldier,“I know po MeCullum who was Killed;why do you ask we this!”“Be- qause,’answered the gentleman,“this is his boy whom I found in Spain.”The sunburnt,toilworn soldier then rau to the boy,took him in his arms aad embraced him,and cried,with teers streaming fom his eyes—“Oh,sir,he is my child!Jamie don’t you know mef The scene that was thus suddealy presented so weited the heart of the gentleman that he turned @wap and gave vent to his feelings in many tears.The father was only wounded iy ibe battle—he had vot been killed.In “'@is short history we see the merciful care @ our Heavenly Father.He preserved a .friendless orphan ia the land of an enemy tm the midst of a terrible war,He raisedMPfiendstobekindtohim,He guidedhimbavktoEnglandandledhimintoa aweet discoveryjof that father whom he thoagbtwasdead.

J.J.BRUNER, :EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, From the North Caroliua Presbyterian, Personal Responsibility, «Every man shall bear his own barden |” Such is God’s own startling declaration; aud the connection of the sentence (sce Galatians 6:5.)saws that it was intend. ed tu rebuke the error of those who look ure at the sins of others than at their own,and who are couteat with a conrpar- ison of themselves with others rather than with the perfect law of God. There is a “bardeu”ta be borne 3 some: thing which requires an,effort to bear; someting which wall task ott powers;it Is a”burden.”This burden rests on “every mun,”vot vn au individual here and there;vot on a part of mankind;but on ever:man,woman aud child;a burden .which is every man’s “ows 3?his own burden.”Vain is the effort to threw off this burden,or to shift it on to others.fh hod deterniined that every mau “shall bear”wy whether be will or wot.Therefore,Reader,you are the one whom this subject deeply cour Oh!consider it. is uatransperable,has Ceris very nian still bear tis own burden of Opiiattoy of Dery.What this is,is prertecoy expressed hy cur Lorde"Thou shaltlove the Lord thy God with all thy Qeart,aid soul,aud mind,aud strength; wid thy netwlibor as thysel.” obdgzauiou which rests on man, must bear,and no other can him.True,aufetsued God and uianis the duty of each aud ev- and God will hold every ‘The eropty sent ment,the hollow profession,will uot suf tice. every whielr te bear for ery oue of Us, Goan respousibie for it It must bea living,practical priu- ciple. aUested by submissive to His wil and a constant devotion to Eis service:aud love to iman must be shown by a stacere desire and farthtul efforts to serve ther best ioe Corests.

And this suggests the further remark, that every man shall bear bis own burden of GuILT.Our deficiencies and transgres- sions are perfeetly known to God,and He will hold us respousible to the precise ex- teat of our eriminality,Hle will never in- quire how one man’s character compares with others,but how it stands in itselfand as compared with the demands of His law, He will never excuse an ungodiy son,be- canse be has an infidel or ‘irreligious fa- ther;for will the short comings of a mo- ther excuse the vanity and worldliness of a daughter,No thoughtless young manwillbepermittedtopleadthethought: lessness of his companions;no Sabbath breaker,profane swearer,or debauchee beexcusedbyanyexampleormaftitudeof evil doers.No man shall plead the de- mands of society,or fashion,or the un- faithfulness of others,in exeuse of his own Praverlessness and indifference to the calls of God.Let others do as they may,every Mab muat answer for himself.God has commanded every man,woman aod child, ayy 1Chisisthe love to | Love to God ast be exlibited and | 1 ue dealt with as-though here were nove ot- er in the oniverse,as thauell,whee al) others accepted Christ and did their duty, he alone stood out in obstinate rebellion!

NOTES OF THE WAR, REVIEW OF THE WAR—KILLED AND WOUNDED. The Charleston Courier publishes an interesting tabular statement of the casus alties on both sides since the beginning of the war.Tha Federal successes are as follows: Philippi,Boonville,Rich,Mountain,St. George,[atteras,Frederickstowo,Port Royal and Drainesville. In these the Confederates lost 186 kill-: ed,278 wounded and 1.249 prisoners:the Federals,86 killed and 207 wounded.— The list of Confederate victories comprises 53,beginning at San Antonio on the 15th February,and ending at Sacramento on the 28th December.In these engage- ments the Confederates loat in killed 909, wounded 8,067,prisoners 288;the Fed- eral loss was,killed 4,825,wounded 7,614, prisoners 8,177.

The Federal gun-boats are said to have puse- ed ap to Winton,the county seat of Herttord county,on the Chowan River.‘The ChowanisformedbytheconfluenceoftheMeherrin and Nottaway rivers.The main Branch of the Nottaway is the black water,which is cruared by the seaboard &Roanoke railroad about half way between Weldon and Portsmouth,though rather nearer to the latter place.The Black Water is navigable up to the railroad,as a steamer bus been running regularly in conuec- tion with the Railr ad trains,although necesa- rily «sinall one,owing to the varrowness und crookedneéas ia the stream.The movements oftheLincolnitegun-boats would seem to indi- eate a desire to force their way apasfar us the Pertsmooth Road,so as either to obtain pos- aeppion of it,or at least cut off communication by that line.Although capable of doing mach harm to the people restdent on the shores of the soundsand the fivera emptying inte them,it is evidentthattherewouldbsnoatrategeticendtohe served that would repay the vast out'ay of menaadinoneythattheHarnsideexpeditionhus eecasiOned,anless either Norfolk is attacked orpossess on obtained of some leading line of Raitrond,nud therefure it ie,we take it,that the alteytiou of our authorities will be,or at toast ouzht to,he,directed to the protection of ube fines of coimmonication,especially of water o@minnoication,leading froin the navigable wa- tefe of Albemarle and Pumlico sounds,ia the directiin of any of our public works.The Black warer,although deep,is so narrow and erooked that it might be stopped by trees fell- ed across it.—Wilmington Journal. Re Enlistment.—We rejoice to learn that Jarge oumbers of our twelve monthsvoluni:ers have determined to enlist for the war.Large nambers are passin throu)this City daily,on furlough,to aetury after a short visit home.Many, perha.s two-thirds of Gen.Holmes’brig: cade |i...re enlisted,and we should not beaurpri!if three-fourths of those in theArmyo!che Potomac should do so.Wehope)tiear as good news from all other paints -/taleigh Standard. persons to be used for the purpose of dis tillation.In compliance with this order, we hear that some seven or eight thousand bushels in the possession off Mr.Frenktin Stearns,a well known Riéhinohd distiller, were seized on.Saturday.last.We do not know the price agreed upon,but presume that the holders of all corn seized will be allowed the prevailing market rates.‘This step on the partof our authorities Las been rendered necessary,oot only by the perni- cious effects of the unlimited manufacture of whiskey,Lut by the exorbitant prices which government is thereby compelled to pay fur an article indispensable to the sus- tenance of the’army.If we are correctly informed in regard to the intentions of theWarDepartment,there will be no neces- sity for the passage of the bill introduced in the Virginia Senate on Friday by Mr. Thomas,of Henry county,which makes it a misdemeanor,punishable by tine,for any person to'manufacture or cause tobe man: ufactured,any whiskey or other spirituous or malt liquors out of any corn,wheat, rye or other grain except grown by:him- self or those in his employment.Some action by the State or Confederate autho rities,has been fora long time deemed proper,to check the growth of this great evil,which seemed ‘likely to swallow up all our grain,(s0 essential to the subsist ence of man aud beast.)in the distilleries.We understand that common whiskey has already advanced in this market to 84 per gallon,and on Saturday,the tenden- cy was still upward—the prices and not the whiskey,for the latter generally goes downward. It would be well for the Secretary ofWartohaveanevetospecniators,who we understand,are investing larzely in corn,Fair play isa jewel.If distillers are to disgorge,let speculators be made to do the same thing.Government will get corn ata much lower figure if the specu- lators are also speedily attended to. Petersburg Lxpress,10th. Gen.Wise.—Among the items which we quote from the Richmond Exarniner, is one related by a Mr.Burns of the Wise Legion,who escaped fiom Roanoke Island, and who says,that on reaching the main land,“he reported to Gen.Wise,and told him of the fight and of the failure of the ammunition.Gen.Wise replied,that “it made no difference,as the men hud no blood on their bayonets.” It strikes us that this is a most unjust Ipsinuation,to come from a man whose business it was to be on the spot himself, and to see for hineself whether there was blood on the bayonets or not.It may be sald that he was sick.No doubt.But | why not sick at bis post,instead of ata | hotel across Khe Sound?Buta sick man| as he had been for weeks past,only par ally recovered from avery dangerous ili- bess,Ought not to have been put in com- ;mand of a post hke that,and ought not to| |have undertaken the duty if offered to him.|Gen,Wise?

In the Standard of the 22d of tast month we said;— “We cannot doubt that the first point of attack will be at Roanoke Island,and the main object of the expedition is to yet in the rear of Norfolk.The attack upon Newbern,Washington and the Albe- marle towus are also included iu the pro- gramme,We withhold an expression of our fears,if an early attack is made upon Roanoke Island.Gen,Wise has been ap- pointed there too recently to have acgom- plish much.Should damage ensue we shall charge it upon the removal of Gen. Hill from that department.He had started plans of defence which,if he bad been permitted do garry out,would haverenderedussceureagainstanattack.” Aud in the Stendard of the 5th of this mouth we said: “We are satistied from the size of the Burnsids expedition,from the intimations of the Northern press,and from tbe im- portance of the stake,that the first obyect of the expedition is \o take Roanoke Is land,and immediately to push for the Seabvard Railroad to get in the rear of Norfolk.Let any one curious enough to know,take the map and trace the course of the Chowan and Nottoway rivers,and notice their contiguity to the Seaboard Railroad.Tow many troops have we on the Seaboard Road?UTow many near Franklin depot?How mary at Suffolk? How many rangers on the Chowan river to watch the advance of the enemy and give warning?What,if General Wool from Fortress Monroe,were to make a simultaneous movement across Jatnes river and get possession of the Petersburg and Norfolk Railroad?=What,we ask,would be the condition of Norfolk,if the enemy were to vet possession of these two Roads? This,we believe,is the main design of the enemy.Should he be successfal,it will be an easy matter,then,to carry out his marauding designs upon the Eastern Counties,Wheo we think of the possi- bility of his despoiling and ruining our fellow citizens of those Counties,of the immense damage and loss to accrue to us by the taking of Roanoke Island,Hyde, Washington and:Newbern,and then re- flect how easily and at what small cost it might have been prevented,had the au- thorities done their duty,we are ata loss for terms to express our indignation at so wanton a sacrifice of the fairest portion of the State.May a benignant Providence still interpose to prevent so sad a calamity !” It vives us no pleasure to remind our these predictions and fears. We do so only in the bope that those whe have the management of our affairs will profit by the past. Who is to blame for this calamity?Is Is Gen,Huger?ls Gen. Gatlin?Is Mr.Secretary Benjamin?Is Col.Shaw?We do not know;but we do believe if Gen.Hill had not been re- moved,the island would have been forti- fied and successfully defended.Why was Gen.Hill removed?-Because he obeyed the orders of the Governor of this State and called out a portion of the militia, Who had him removed?The “highest authority”in this State,as we understand, represented te President Davis that he was not acceptable (o our people,but that Gen.Branch would be;and so President Davis,believing he was doing right,order- ed Gen,Hitt to Virginia,and made Col. Branch a Brigadier,Gen,Branch was soon relieved of the command of Roanoke Island as a part of the coast which had been assigned him,but not until he had ordered the 81st regiment,half armed,to that place ;and Gen,Huger assumed com- mand of the island,and sent Wise there as lita subordinate,It seems that Mr.Se- cretary Benjamin does not regard the loss of the island as very important.We trust the whole matter will be investigated.Let those who have done their duty be com— mended,and Jet.heavy censure rest on those by whose negleet or improper con- duct the island has been lost. readers of Whiskey.—Tho panic of the whiskey y the government,has extended to Pe tersburg.We Jearp from the Express thatafairtogoodarticlecannowbeboughtat $6 per gallon,which is a lithe more than most lovers of the beverage are willlug to pay for it,The Express says that the act of Congress,authorizing the seizure of corn | purchased for distilling,gives satisfaction to all who favor good morals.—Fay.Ob.

The people of Nashville,Tenn.,did nothing (like a great many other com- munities in the South equally as much exposed to the approaches of the enemy are now doing)for the defence of the city,until afier Fort Donelson fell and Bowling Green evacunted.Confederate forces at those two points protected Nash- ville,aod if they coul!bave beld them against all odds,the capital of Tennessee would probably have been safe.It seerns, however,never to have entered into the heads of the people of Nashville that it was possible for the Confederates to be driven from Donelson and Bowling Green; and the sudden bappening of those unlook- ed-for events has produced no little alarm throughout the State and the Cunfederacy. We advert to this subject to show the fatal security which has fallen upon the people of the South since our victories of last year.There has been a wonderful chanye in them since the Ist of August,1861. Men who up to that time were zealous aud active in the eause of the Confederacy, seem gradually to have settled down on the conviction that the work was done, and that there was no longer apy necessity for watchfulness or effort.The energy| formerly devoted to the cause of independ- ence was directed to private enterprises or The fall of Fort Hatteras, |Jater in the year,only aroused them tem- to speculation. porarily.The army of the ?otomac still |holding the invaders in check along that i — od i@ Re fr fdpers are disputing about who 4 to me for our defeat at Roanoke.WJudgewBiggs and Governor Clark,it seems,have been accused of cansing the removal of Gen.Hill from the command of that point on our eoast,and therefore to blame for the disastrous con- sequences of having an incompetent suc. cessor,The State:Jourral devies that Gov.Clark had any thing to do with the removal of Gen,,ill,thongh.it does not, appear that it was authorised to make such denial.As to Judge Biggs,that paper saysit does nor know what ke may have done;but that whatever he did,was done from a sense of duty.1 If Judge Biggs’procured the removal of a competent man,and the appointment of an‘ungoalified one in bis place,it will hardly be pretended he ought to escape condemnation on the plea that,what he did was done from asense of duty.Who gave him authority fo interfere in such matters?If we owe to his officiousness the loss of Roanoke Island,2600 troops and all their equippage,it may afford the Hon,gentleman himself some consolation to know that he didn’t mean any herm; but the suffering people of the State would respectfully sugyest to President Davie that Judge Biggs’judgment is unreliable, if not biased,distorted and twisted out of all reason by party or some thing else as mean.At any rate,we trust his “sense of duty”is satisfied with the loss ot Roanoke, and that he wil]hereafter retire to tbat privacy best suited to good meaning but incompetent judges in military matters. -~-~®9ee-= Bounty—The Confederate Government and the State Government together,have provided a splendid bounty fur those who volunteer for the war.The Confederacy pays 850;and the State Convention has passed an ordinance allowing &50 more; making a total bounty of $100.This, with the regular monthly pay,will enable a soldier to support his family very well. The recent Acts,both of the Confeder- ate Congress and State Convention,pro- vides that ail our volunteers who havo en- listed for the war shall receive this bounty |line,acted like a soinnific drug,so far as iour political safety was concerned,unto- ward events merely exciting a yawn or | contemptuous grunt or sneer,The fact is,| we are just beginning to learn how dan gerous a thing a great victory is,God| |grant our people may learn the Jesson| rapidly and well,and before it is too late.| |Whilst we at home were setling down,| complacently at ease,congratulating our-| selves on the security of our cause,two.| thirds cursing the other third for their ‘heartless speculations in a time of war;| ,dissipation,neglect of drill,ennui,discon- j tent,disease and death were busy ip the ;gamp enfeebling our army.Who cannot | forsee the consequences should the 15:b 'March find us still inthis condition?De- |feat quickened all the energies of our ene- my.The blows inflicted upon him at,Bethel,Manassas,Lexington and Leesburg |were heavy and efficient,but not fatal. |They taught him to be wise and cautious;and having improved upon them,we have recent demonstrations of the great importance to a people at war of justly estimating the power,resources and cour-age of an evemy.Let us be equally as wise to profit by the past,and we shall be saved the mortification of such disasters| as Roanoke and Forts Henry and Donel-|son,The justice of our cause,and the j sacred rights and interest involved in this | ,struogule demand of us every thing.We are fighting for the principles of the Con- stitution which once bound us to the Northern States.Had they kept the bond ivviolate—had they let us and ourpropertyandinstitutionsalone—had they been just and fair,there would have been no dissolution of the Union,and no war for outraged political rights,But having grown rich and proud out of their trade with the South,they arrogantly assumed to set at defiance the obligations of the Constitution,and make themselves our masters;restricting our equal enjoyment of rights and privileges in the Government setup by our fathers.Our remonstrances, yearafter year,filed to penetrate the hearts of our biggot,seif righteous “and wealthy kindred of the North;and dissolution| became a natural consequence of their in-| justice,and infidelity to the National| charter.They have made war upon us to compel us to submit to their repeated wrongs in the past and to their arbitra- ry will in the future.If they subjugate us,as they threaten to do,then we shall | be their slaves.They will rob us of our property by wholesale,and crush us be-neath the heel of power until every.senti- ment of true manhood and national pride Is extinct. | || | Sovtugrn Curtivator.—We are glad to find that this superior Agricultural paper is sull published at Augusta,Georgia.Price the same as heretofore.We have a prospec- tus for it,and shall be pleased to forward the names of any whovwish to subscribe for it Price $1 4 year.|!mG as well those who are already in the field as those who may yet enlist.Those,how- |ever,who have heretofore received bounty money,will only receive as much more as will make up the sum now provided to be paid as a bonus.

Our forces were from 13,000 to 15,000,em- bracing one or two Regiments of Cavalry and four field batteries On Wednesday morning the sharp shooters of the enemy opened fire in connection with thetr artillery,on our left,and continued through the day.‘Thursday and Friday they coutinued,but it was little more than an artillery drill,with fight between skir- inishers—little loss ou our side. On Friday the Gun Boats opened a tremen- dous fire on the Fort which continued without intermission through the day.On Saturday morning the Confederate Ar- amy was ordered out at 3 o'clock aud formed in dine of battle.The fight rau from the centre to the left and soon become general.A great battle ensued,and we took seveu oreightcan-| uon and two or three hundred prisouers. success coutinued through the day,uniaterrup- ted.

When the steamer “Henry”Clay”was burned among others who Jost their lives, was an old ian,over seventy years of age.On examining his pocket book they found the name—the distinguisbed name of SrerHEN ALLEN,and among the papers in it,was a small printed serip which was greatly worn,sLowing that it had been opened and handled a great many times. On that paper was the subjoined maxims of life.Read them,cut them out,live by them,and get some of your older friends to do likewise: Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your hands cannot be usefully em-ployed attend to the cultivation of your mind. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets,if you have any. When you speak to a person,look fim im the face. Your character cannot be essentially in- jured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you let your life be such that none will believe him, Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors. When you retire to bed think overwhatyouhavebeendoingduringthe day. Never play at avy game of chance. :»Avoid temptation through fear you may not withstand it. _.Earn money before sou spend it. Never run into debt unless yuu see a way to get out again. Keep yourself innocent if you would be bappy. Save when you are voung to spend when you are old. eee A SECRET WORTH KNOWING. “Mother,”said a fine little girl,ten years of age,“I want to know why you go alone every night aud =moraing ?” “Why.my child?”“Becnuse I think it “must be to see some one you love very mueb.”“Annie,what induces you to think sof”“Becavse{have always no- tieed that when you come back you look happier than usual.” ‘do go to see a friend I love much,and af ter secing him I am more happy than be fore,why should you wish to know any- thing of it”thatImay be bappy too.” ehild when I leave you myht and morn ing,it is t6 see my blessed Savior and to T ask him for his grace to‘to him.

We think we discera the gentle,brave and faithful spirit of a former vccasianal correspon dent of our own,in the communication,the saddest by far that we have yet seen in refer- euce,to the state of religion and mora!s in the Army,which we reprint to-day from the Cen- tral Presbyterian,under the above headingsuppliedbyourselves.“Artillerisi”’has had ample opportunities for observation,and his picture nay be refied unasa faithful one.And whata picture!‘*There ts very little religioninourarmy!*©There is an appalling amount of drunkenness in gur army!’We were not prepared for this.Our hopes,rather than any positive information we possessed,pointed toa very different state of things.The truth comes upon os fike the knell of death!It would not more shock us to hear that the strongholds of our beloved countty had fallen into the hands of the enemy.*Bot there is yet tope—bope in prayer and fuithful effort.We trurt that measures will soon be adopted to cut off that accureed fountain which supplies this appalling amount of drunkenness wudruin.And,reader, it rests with you,in part,to open that blessed fountain of grace,whose streams shall make glad the hearts of our soldiers and of every lover of his cpuntry.Let prayer be made with- oat ceasing and with earnest importunity,in every closet,every fainily,every church;let every instrumentality ever owned of God be diligently employed,the Bible,the tract,the relizidus paper,and,above all,the personal ef- forte and influence of zealous,prone,faithiul chapleins,and the demorlization of our urmy and the ruin of the country may yet be avert-ed.—N..G.Presbyterian. Burning of Harper's Ferry,—¥rom a lady who arrived in this city frou deff. som cobnty last evening,we have intelli- gence of the destruction of a large portion of the town of Harper's Ferry,by the Yan- kees,on Friday night last.Our inform- ant states that on Friday the guerilla com- pany commanded by Captain Robert W. Bayior,of Jefferson,went to the Ferry with a view of capturing a traitor by the name of George Rohr,who has been act- ing in the capacity of terryman between the Virginia and Maryland shores andwhohadrenderedhimselfparticularlyodi- ous by giving information of the imove ments of our forces in that neighborhood. Captain Baylor succeeded in having Rohr enticed to the Virginia side of the river; but finding ‘it isnpossible to eapture hita, he shot him in the boat.This exaspera- ted the yaukees to such an extent they camé over,under the cover of night,and fired the town.The result was as stated above,the destruction of a considerable portion af the town.Welearn that Kohr died,soon afier be was shot,—RichmondDispatch,10th.

There is! increasing evidence that this means of grace is being blessed of God to the great spiritual good of inany of uur soldiers. | Recently we met at the Railroad Depot in’ this city, an iatelhyent soldier of the 3rd | South Carolina Regiment. After helping | hima the cars we gave him tbe tract, “Casting Our Burden on the Lord,” by Rev. J. M. Atkiuson, which Jed him to take from his pocket a copy of this tract, . given him while in the Hospital, from a package we sent his Regiment, which be state. was nade an lustrument of God in his conversion. A pious soldier from this county, now in Virginia, said to me recently, “We have not had a sermon preached in our Regi- ment in more than three months. The religious reading brought us by the Cel- | porteur 1s eagerly sought, and productive | of great good. Tracts are specially adapt- | ed to the camp, and we ought to have a) new supply at least every Sunday morn- ing.” | A Texan soldier told me that the tract, - “Douw't Put it OI” (one of the first tracts last June) was the meaus of leadivg hin , to Christ. One of the Ist North Carolina “Bethel” Regiment says, that “Come to Jesus,” which we gave him while encamped here, : was blessed to his conversion during the first month be was in Virginia, and that he bad committed all of it to memory. The donation of some one printed these tracts, which have been so greatly blessed. Fach dollar given will send out 1,500 pages, which will be carried, through the great kindness of the Express Cumpany, to the soldiers without charge. We can now print 30,000 tracts iu a day ; and that we may continue this in order to supply the pressing calls for grants, and sell so cheap ly, we are mainly dependent on donations to pay for materials and work. HYMNS FOR THE CAMP. We shall soou have out an excellent , edition of “Hymns for the Camp.” It will be convenient tor the pocket, contain- ing 150 Hymas, on about 120 pages, and will be neatly bound in paper, boards, and cloth. Wholesale prices are 10, 124 and 15 cents per copy. Every soldier should have a copy, and by donations we will be | enabled to give away a larce number of it We hope to receive liberal order and do- | nations for these publications so greatly | needed and sought for by our noble de- tenders.

An aged couple sat before heir fire one winter’s night ; Without, the wind was bleak and cold— Within, was cheerful light. They were contented with their lot— Had all they thought was fitting— The tusband smoked bis brown clay pipe, The guod wife plied her knitting.

The wife was vexed, and quickly cried: “There's one good chance that goes, Why aot have asked for something better? 1 wish ‘twas on your nose.” Ayain the guiden wand was moved, The puddiog changed its place, And stuck, as fast as it could stick, Upon the old man’s face. Two wishes gone! It was no use To anger or to scoff; The only thing left them to do Was just to wish it off. It fell—the faery clapped her hands And laughed in merry glee, The old man’s sad and rueful face, The good dame’s plight to ree. “By this experience, learn,” she said, “How vain are idle wishes, For fortune gives you what you need Of pleasure, friends or riches.

Twenty five men at the latter and fifteen at the former establish- ments refused to take the oath, and were immediately discharged. Hearing of the fact, we applied for a list of the recusants, but were ivformed it was the wish of the authorities that they should not be made public, From a gentleman at the Artillery Works, we learned that Lieutenant Smith, who has charge of that establishmeut and ‘also of the Laboratory, deemed it expedi- ent, from various proceedings of the work- men, to have this test oath administered. Many of those who refused to take the oath, were known to be in the habit of con- verting, regardless of premium, their pay into gold. Some had openly spoken of returning to the North. Some of the men, learning early yester- day morning what was about to be done, and wishing to avoid the oath and yet re- tain their position, absented themselves from the shops during the forenoon, but| yay slunk back in the course of the evening. Understanding their game, the loyal work- men procured from the office a list of all who bad either refused to be sworn or had absented themselves, whilst the oath was being administered, and falling upon such as had returned to work, drummed them : ignominiously from the premises. Our informant told us of one of the em- ployees who absented himself on the plea that he was going to rejoin a Virginia re- giment (o which be formerly belonged, but that he has since been seen on the street “ dyked” out in a bran new suit of citizens clothes. We have little doubt that many who refused Tuesday, would be willing enough to take the oath to day, since they have found ont the news froin Tennessee is but so bad as then reported.— Rich, Az.

War justifies a resort Lo any and to all measures usually resorted to by civ- ilized nations to possess or distress the ene- my, but the burning of our towns which he cannot or will not make a permanent residence of, really distresses and injures ourselves more than it ever can our enemy.” And a Hillsborough correspondent of the Standard, besides many other objec- tions, urges this powerful one ; “To many undecided minds it will be sufficient to intimate this momentous ob- jection, that euch acts can seldom be anani- mous; cousequently a bone of contention will be thrown into our midst that may greatly divide and weaken us. Indeed, au is reported that this actually happened in Elizabeth Citv—one party extinguishing the fires which the others had put to their dwellings. Be this as it may, the alterna- tive will be frequently presented during this war.” The Richmond Examiner takes the op- posite ground, It says,— “When we cannot beat back the enemy, we may inake him know the work he has in band, by rendering the ground over which be marches a desert. Not a house, or a forest, or a field, sbould be spared. Of what service will they be to usin the hands of a foe who comeggto pilage, eon- fiscate, hang, exile, and to destroy even the name of Virginiat If we must lose our goods, at least let us save them from the hands of the Yankees. No better sacrifice could be made to liberty and country. Such a course has saved other nations in our cocdition, and will save us. What defeated the French conqueror of the worldin Russia? There, for the first time, he trembled and groaned at the sight of war; when his victorious columns found flaming houses and smoking fields for their only spoils.” A Change Demanded.—The Richmond Whig, the Examiner, the Charleston Mer- cury and Mr. Foote in Congress, call loud- ly for a change of men and’ of policy in the Cabinet. The Secretaries of War and y, Benjamin and Mallory, are pro- nounced utterly incompetent to the crtsis, apd the others in the Cabinet are not re- garded as Solomons. The Whig dubs them “dummies.” The Whig is for re- moving the seat of war from .Teunessee and Keotueky to Pennsylvania, It says,— “Two columns of 30,000 ‘each, bearing directly upon Philadelphia, with another of 30,000 ready to follow, would give A new aspect to our affairs and inspire the Yankees with jugter notions of the horrors of war. Let them come in, if they choose, invade us, take Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans, what they please. Our strength lies not in towns, Theirs is confined almost exclusively to their infern al cities. Let us strike for them, without turning to the right or the lett. This is tbe path to peace and safety.” Drafted Men cannot Volunteer.—We are informed that an opinion 1s prevailing in the country that drafted men, can after- wards enter the volunteer service, and re- ceive the bounty of a $100.

THE SENATORSHIP OF GEORGIA. peepee mene oo soa BS NUMBER 64.

What then? No doubt itis a severe blow—well delivered and effective. But what then? It ts only what we have-foreshadewed for many months past in our journal, and only what waa to be expeeted by reasonable men, who, auawed and -calinly,.aquid: re- view the field of operations, and all the circumstances of our positiea, We have said our say on the subject, avd pronoune- ed the defensive system of warfare adupted by our authorities, situated as we were with a coast of five thousand miles to de- | fend without a navy, with a limited supply of arms, and with our ports’ blockaded, as A monstrous absurdity, necessarily involv- ing weakness and much unnecessary disas- ter and prolongation of the war. The oth- ers were wiser than ourselves. We were equally alarmists and precipitate. The | fruits of that policy are before us. They But our business now is not with the past. Whatisthe burthen of the future? It has accumulated much during these last six months of inaction on our part; but it is | far from insupportable, yet. ‘There is pow- }erio the South, and there is nerve in the ‘South to do much, and to endure much. | We must pay for our inaction; but it brings with it a lesson to string every heart ; to redeem our errors, Let every man, | who can strike a blow in defence of his bousebold and his home, spring to his arms. Let us realiza the work before us, and let us forward into the breach, hke men. Italy was overrun by the Cartha- genians, vuoder Hannibal, and Spain by Napoleon—perhaps the two greatest mili- tary leaders in ancient and mordern times. Yet, both were defeated, and driven back | from the soil they had oecupied. Prussia, | likewise, was overrun by France, Liussia | | | by Frederick, after bloody defeats on his part, leaving twenty and thirty thousand dead men on the field. Our own revolu- tion, in 1776, is strikingly illustrative of a similar lesson. We must fight to retieve the past— blood must be shed. We must fight like desperate men, But there is nothing be- fore us to blench the hearts of resolute an earnest men. We must be up and doing, daring and achieving. The time for ac- tion is non us—upon every one of us. Let us but act, act with bold decivion and undertaking, and not stand still in passive ubatement, and the time is not far distant wheu the Northern horde will learn the temerity of their agyressions.

Whatever of hope some may have entertain- ec that a returning sense of justice would re- move the danger with which our rights were threatened, and render it possible to preserve the Union of the Constitution, must have been dispelled by the malignity and barbarity of the Northern States in the prosecution of the exist- war.

For many years after our Saviour was crucitied, the wicked enemies of his religion inflicted the severest cruelties upon his followers. They tried every way to force them to give up their christian hopes and the worship of Jesus. Some they cast into the midst of terrible wild beasts —some were crucified—some were buried, &c. Among these persecu- ted christiane was good old Poly- carp. Te had often seen St. John, who wrote the Gospel of that name in the Testament. Hehadno doubt often heard the blessed gospel from his holy lips. The ungodly empe- ror, Aurelius had many christians murdered with shocking tortures— among them, Polpearp. When this servant of God was 95 years old, he was ordered to depy his Saviour. He replied, “eighty and six vears have I served him, during all whieh time he never did me injury ; how then can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour?” Time and again did they threaten him, bot he remained fin. When they threatened to throw him to the ferocious lions, he said; “let themcomeon! We chris. tians are not accustomed to change from betler to worse, but from bad to better.” They then said—* you shall be burned alive.” With a stern gaze he cried, “your fire will be spent in an hour, bat that which is reserved for sinners is eternal.” While bound to the stake he offered up a most elequent and beantiful rayer, in which he praised God tor Pie mercies in the Redeemer, and even gave thankethat he wae aliow- ed tobe a martyrtohisfaith, We died very peacefully notwithstanding the furiows fire, and he passed in sacred joy from the boaom of the flame to the loving bosom of his Heavenly Father. o6 Weep not for the epirit now crowned With the garland to martyrdom given ; O weep not for him,—he has found His teward and his refuge in Heaven.” Now, I wish mainly to impress up- on you the fact, that this good man, who bore 60 mnch with such won- derful peace and triumph, bécamea christian when he wag between nine and ten“years of ave. “You, too, can become’christians early ; und though you may not be called to suffer as Polyearp, yet you will surely-need religion all through life. You may not die at the stake, like him, but you muat die somewhere and in some way, and nothing but the love of God, which he gives to those that give him their hearts and serve bim, e-n save you and bless you beyond the grave.

In addition to these, $3,600 worth of iron, used for ballust, was thrown ovetboard,— Fayetteville Observer. He adds: “The pilots, we were told, were all Un- ionists. Hatteras Tolet’ was Union, and New York aubscribed $8,000 for the in habitants, because they were all Union. Yet one of the pilots Wired by as went over to the enemy, and “informed them of everything ; aud as fur the inhabitants of Hatteras Inlet, they are too ignorant to know the diff-rence between Union and Secession. It is all nonsense ; experience teaches us that there are no Union men there; and that the 3.000 rifles asked fur, if they had been granted, would be on Roanoke Island, and that the 8,000 sent to North Carolina for the benefit of the Union men, was all lost to us. The Souch are in earnest and we are at play.

The road is evidently a most important improvement, whether in a mil itary or other point of view. It ought to bave been built tive years ago, and the go vernment vow had foundries, rolling mil's and machinery for preparing munitions of war established there. Such a road would doubtless be of great convenience and pro- fit to this City.— Ral, Standard Feb, 22, Miuitra.—The Militia of Virginia and North Carolina fiving in the departinent of Gen. Huger, at Norfolk, Va. have been or- dered by that officer to report to the near est Confederate officer, to be employed in defending their property and homes against the invader. Tle orders them to obstruct the water courses and roads by which the the enemy may approach, and on the nar- row banks of the rivers to use their shot guns. They are ordered to arrest all who hold intercourse with the enemy. Gen. Blanchard says that the citizens can do ef ficient service as guerrillas.— Standard, Bad.— We notice in the Augusta Chron- iele & Sentinel that a public meeting was called on a certain evening Jast week for the purpose of taking measares to defend the eity from invasion.

It is a diguster quite equi! to the worst view we have bad of it, and fae overshadowing that at Roanoke Istund. As to this latter, we copy a sumewhat remarkable ‘statement from the Richmond Enquirer, which doubt- less puts it farth under the sanction of Gen. Wise bimself. Aad, while it abounds with glorification of Wise, and the Wise Legion, «nd O. Jennings Wise, and sys- tematically depreciates the North Caruhna troops, and is therefore anreliable on those points, it may, we suppose, be relied on as to the forees and the condition of the de- fences on the Island. We think tbere is ‘serious reason to complain of that part of President Davis's message in which he reters to those two disasters, as follows : “I bave hoped fur several days to receive official reports in relation to our dissom- fiture at Roanoke Istnod, and the fall uf Fort Iouelson. They have not yet reach- ed ine, and I am, thereture, unable to cominunicate to you such information of those events, and the consequences result- ing from them, as would enable ine to make recommendations founded upon the changed condition which thev have ‘pro- ee three? Besides this, Fort Doneleoe wha j very stron .

Shaw's own officery hed men, that be was utterly unfit for the command, or for any command. His appeintinent was one of those unfor tanate party acts from which the Confed-’ eracy has suffered so dreadfully. He was # village Dootur, a native of New Hamp- shire, who kwew nothing about military matters, yet was placed by a party Gov- eruior at the head ef 4 regiment of North Curolina State troops! Ewen if be showed personal courage at Roanoke Island,— which some say he did and others loudly say he did not,—he was unfit for such a command, since his nen, familiar with the ugly stories about bim which have abound- ed in the newspapers in the Eastern part of the State, could not have had that con- fideuce in him which is essential to faith- ful and heroic service in battle. The conclusion to which we are led, by the lights now befure us, ia, that there may have been one, and only one, North Caro- linian that showed the white feather at Roanoke, though aufortunately he was the commander, and even as to him, we learn better from his officers. That the Viryin- ians, with all their boastings, suffered than the North Carolinians, but were ahead tn the retreat. That the island might have been. and ought to bave been, made impreguatle, but was not so made owing to shameful neglect of the govern- ment; but that it was not wisely or well duced. Enough is known of theaurrender | at Roanoke Island to make us feel tht it | was deeply humiliating, however imperfeot may have been the preparations for defetice. | The lope is still entertained that our re- ported bosses at Fort Donelson have been greatly exaggerated, inasinuch as I am not anly unwilling, but unable to believe that a large army of our people bave sueren- dered without a desperate effort to cut their way through investing forces, what- ever may have been their numbers, and to endeavor to make a junction with other divisions of the army. But in the absence of that exact information which can only be afforded by official reports, it would be premature to pass judginent, and my own is reserved, as I trust: yours will be, uotil that informtion is received.” Now why should the President, witbout Waiting for official reports, pronounce judgment on the Roanoke surrender as “deeply humiliating,” and withhold his | jadgment about Fort Donelson until he gets those official reports! Two reasons ogeur to us as moving the President to this different and unfair coarse. First, that even the President is obliged to ad- mit that the preparations for defcnce at Roanoke Island were “imperfect,” and therefore he attempts to throw off from the government, and upon the troops, the humiliation of thut disaster. And second, that the troops at Fort Donelson were maialy from his own section of the coun: try, und therefore ate treated with forbear- ance, whilst those at Roanoke Island were from North Carolina, which bas received anything but a fair degree of consideration fa Richmond, whose atmosphere appears to have affected the Executive and Legis. lative departments injuriously towards North Carolina. Pet us compare the merits of the two affairs. At Roanoke Island, there were but 1700 effective meu, (exclading Green’s Battalion, which arrived after the fight was over & only in time to be surrendered.) These were asaailed by more than 100 vessels with their crew and between 16,- 000 and 17,000 of the yankee arnty, that buinber being adiitted to have actually landed va the Island before the principal fight occurred. The yankees had there- fore fen to our one. They surrounded our staal] arty, which bad vo place to retreat to, and were obliged either to die or aur- render. At Fort Donelson, we had 23 regiments, aumbering, according to the wost reliable Scoonnts, 18,000 men. The opposing yan- kee force wan 6200, ‘nevording to the best information reeewedl’ There were, then, not quite three Yarikega {0" ane Con federate, {fit be bumiliating for ore to surrender to ten, how ating for one to watrentier to lese than - defended even ia proportion to its advan- tages. Whilst we cunsider the surrender of Fort Donelson and 18,000 men with arms in their hands, and after three days of glorious and successful fighting, utterly indefensible. Since (he above was in type, we have receiv- ed some additional information, by mail and otherwise, which beurs upon the subject of Roanoke Island. First, we learn thut the company officers of the 8th Regiment of State Troops, with the exeeniion of one officer only, sigued and pre- sented to Col. Shaw a request that he would resign. This was not founded, we learn, upoa any charge of cowardice, of which they acquit him, but of ineffietency. Second, we Jeara from the Raleigh Standard, (which replies to the article we have attributed to Gen. Wise, that “the six North Carvlina companies which were in the battle fought with as mach coarage as any portion of the Wire Legion, and'ithat Capt. Lites’s company of Aneoa, and Capt. Knight’® company of Martin, were the last to retreat. The Wise | Legion left before they did.” This is**carrying the war into Africa”’— evine meine boastful Virginians, who glan- dered the North Carolina troope to cover their own defection The Standard -orrects the statement in the Wire article, that ‘‘but 450 of the Wise Legion and two companies of North Carolina infantry got into the fight.” There were (rays the Stundard) six compuuies of the North Carolina infantry in the fight—twe from Col. Jordan's, two from Col. Murtin’s, and two from Col. Shaw’s regiment. The Standard acds, ‘The truth ie, Col. Jor- dan’s regiment at best was only half armed. They hed flint aud stee! muskets and shot-gune, and on parade the locks of many of these would full off They were tendered jn this condition to Gen. Gatlin, and accepted; but we learn that after Gen. Gatlin, on a strict ex- amination, eaw bow y they were armed, he appealed (o the Guvernos to furnish them with better arms, but the appeal was unevuil- ing. Butit willbe saidinu reply, that Gov. Clark coald not furnish them with better arms. The answer is, that after this regiment had left, aud, we believe, afierit hud reached Roan- oke Isiand, two regiments near this place, subsequently organized, were armed with good musxets—oné of them, the pt regiment of Col. Branch, with the percussion muskets of the returned Bethe! volunteers. The regiment eommanded by Col, Jordan waa, therefore, in no condition to meet the enemy; but two companies of it, that were tolerably well arm- ed, were iu the fight froin first to Ist.” The Richmoad Disputch's seg altar carrespon- dent, Dr. Shepardeon, who wee on the Island, has written an acceynt of the hatthe for that paper, in which we find such gtatements asthe following : “The gun« tn Fort Bartow were very skiil- fully used, and did good service threaghout the day. The battery was manned by two com- anies of the 17th North Carolina, under Ma- jor Hill, thé “State Guards” and the * John Harvey Guerde,” but only the former company was brought into immediate action. as the guns were ranged rather (oo much the channel.

But they had fought bravely and well fer hours be- fore.” From these.extracts, which are purely Vir- ginia authority, it will be seen that the Vire- Rina charges syaimat North Carolinians are ut- terly falee. Se far from failing in courege, they did more of fighting thau was required of them. Whilst the much vaunted Richmond: Blues could never be rallied again.as before—a deli- cate form of stating that they retreated at ‘double quick.” From the Tcnond Christian Advocate.

A CRUMB OF COMFORT. A Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Courier takes the following hopeful view of the struggle fn which the South ia engaged : But while the soft weather makes every une feel uncivilized and suicidal, the god Jupiter Pluvius is really doing his best for our cause, The roads are yetting worse and worse, aud the young Napuleon sees the prospect of au advance of bis armies becuming mure and more impracticable.— Meanwhile, the Yankee nation ia going to ruio for the want of $3,000,000 per diem o pay the expenses of the war, Ever day that decisive movements are put of adds to the burdens of the Federal Govern- nent. Every day of inaction is a fresh victory to the rebels, costing the Lincoln hation just $800,000, (vide Tribane) Ev- ery day adds to the certainty that Chase will break down, that the rebellion will not be crushed out, that panic, distress, starva- tion, riut, murder and conflagration will convulse the North, that Lincoln, Seward aud Clase will eventually fy for their lives befure the vengeance of 4 people deceived tu their ruin.

Putting the Roan- oke disaster with our rumoured Tennessee dis- tare, they thonght the cause of the South desperate, aud so great ‘was their joy, that it cantd scaresty be contained. We \garn thas a man went throughout this city on Tuesday morning, trying to sell sixty ¢houssad dollars worth of dry , still in Philadelphia, to be delivered in Richmond in tewdaye.

I kygw that, accordipg to the modern usage of eqvilized nations, tutal destruction does not fol- low. I know that, tn our modern times, pri- boners whi are captured are not put to death pfiredueed to slavery, und property has not | gemerally been confiscated; but the right to | confiscate property, real and personal, for there tondition of things at Port Royal, where all | the inhabitants have fled, and left the country détlate. Is it to remain unoccujied, afd a | wildetness, or sha'l we ¢reat it asx the Eurdpe- ap gations didtbe places on thi continent when | the savayes fled and left the terruery aneccu- { pied? flaw does the concuct of the people at | Port Royal differ from that of the aborigines ! | They loave everything to waste, nbandon the | country and bl (ideuy it out among the loval | citizens of the Union; and this act of confisca- | tion by which we do this is not a bill of attain- der. Some have objected’ ty the constitutional | power ty puss this bil, becuase, they say, it is | a bill of attaindes, [tis yor a bill of attainder Bon; it operates upon ‘his property. The Su- prathe Court has éxpressly decided, in the case of Browy vs. the United Stutes, that Congress has. authority to pass a eunfiscation bill. if Congress has the .power lo confiscate the property of an enemy, then an act of confisca- tion must be sumething different from a bill of attd@inder ; for the Constitution expressly de- chures that no bill bf attainder hall be passed. Aguin, sir, if Congress declares the property of a rebel forfeited, I want to koow who is to con rovert that qne«tion. hus no right te confi-eate the Peal estate of a rebel, | ask who is to interpret Mternational law?) There is wy common tribune! to which all nations submit theirques ions. Tnternation- al law is nothing more than a uniform usage of civilized nations, and each one at ast inter- pete it for himself, ronning the hazard, it is trae, of bringing upon himself the. condemon- tion af other nations. [ suppose if a nation should violate a well settled principle of inter- national law, such as violating the rights of an ambassador or of @ paseport, it woald bring upon itself the condemnation of other nations But to confiscate the properly of yoar enemy ig not a vivlation of the principles of internua- tional law. Suppose Russia, in those intermin- able wars going on between that country and Ciredapia, should take the laud of the Circas- siaos and apportion it out among the nobles of Ruegia, would America think of interfering and going to war with Russia? Aud if other natioas would not interfere, who wonld inter- fere? Ctn oar tourte give a different consttuc- tion to international law from what a sover- eign power gives it? Certainly not. The courts are bonnd by international Jaw ae the If it is contended | . that, according to interuatignal Jaw, Congress i they be uHowed to roam at lane in the South.

The propricty | | and wisdeg of this measure must commend it ‘to the approvul of every true friend of the | Confederate cause. Our State must be defend- ed aguinst the enemy, and will be, ff it takes every wan able to carry a gun. But the in- portance,\of having a force already selected and otgunized and rewdy to march at any mo- meut, is 86 Indispensable that our publi¢ authori- ties would be derelict in duty were they to neglect huving it speedily attended to. We fear they have: pat it off too long already, and thet we vhall hardly have finished our preparations before the enemy will be advancing upon us. Thére eeeme to be no definite length of time | fixed upon for the service of the force now called for, nor wny limit to the distance they | may have 4» march. They ure so repel inva- sion wherever attempted, which mruy be be- yond the Bounds of the Stnte ; and they are to | be sutject the order of Confederate Generuls | for this pugpose. Nor coes it appear that they will be entitled to any bounty, as in case of voluntéerss end in these regatde it teeme that it would be bétter for men to volunteer at once. The people of fredell, Guilford, and most of the counties where. drafts have been made, have mostly volunteered, and we suppose the same wilf be done here. There is « large number pf recruiling offigera in town ready to receive new members inio eompanies already organized, so that men in that way,can make choice of theif vommanderd—a privilege not provided for them when serving as drafted men. One-third of she remaining men inthe eonn- ty will bea heavy draft, and mast hecestarity produce a marked effet upon the agrictiltural revoly of ee cduiity thie yea. But by ‘care- folly #aving what ‘wae made last Year, we think It is much to be regretted that the Con- vention ef North Caralina, did not, axhibit more promptuess and firmness in dealing. with thia subject. The people would lave sustain- ed.them in any measure to arrdst this terri- ble evil. We have. onmistakable evidences of ‘this in Catawba and Iredell counties; | where, as we have been infortnéd, the Laprrg have made open'war upon whiskey, having assefibled in force at Statesvillé, and knock- ed out the heads of some barrels, and enip- tied their contents on the ground. > - The Hon. Asa Biggs publishes a Card in the State Journal, in which he denies having had anything to do with the removal of Gen- eral Hill from the Command of Roanoke Ist- and. He says: “I only Jeem necessary to say thatsuch a report is without the slightest foundation either in thonght of act. T was not apprised of any movement to that end” (the removal of Gen: Hill) “ untilit was pub- licly announced.” “’ : . ‘The State Journal says it authoritutively depied that Gov. Clark had any thing to do with this alleged removal.” The Standard of the 8th instant, says it does not, know what agency Judge Biggs had , in the removal; “but we have heard, on good authority, that several gentlemen trom the Albemarle country who waited on Pre- sident Davis to represent to him the defence- less condition of the island, and of the region of which it was the key, were told by that functionary that he had removed Gen. Hill because he had been informed by the ‘highest authority’ in this State that he was not accep- table to our people, on account of the call made by him on the militia in the counties, referred to; thathe,had been informed py the same ‘high authority’ that Col. Brauch was ‘the.very man to succeed Gea. Hill; and. that accordingly, not having been able ta acquire higher or better information on the subject, he had removed Gen. Hill and appointed Col. Branch a Brigadier in his place” | , Now, supposing all that these two-news- papers say on tls subjeet to be trug Gov. Clark bas had nothing to do with the remov- al. But it necessarily follows that President ‘Davis must have acted npon information which he considered higher than if it had come from Governor Clurk.

The noble patriot and famous orator wes bora ia Virginia. His parents were in-bamble life and too poor to give him oruch edecation. He was in his youth a farmer and « tradesman but aflerwards studied law and joined the bar. Like many others who have become great and distinguished, he was compelled to strug- gle fors long time with suffering and pov- erty. He however perservered until he be came a noted 'lawyér— Governor of Vir- ginia—Delegate to Congress—Represen- tative of his, Siqte i in, tbe National Conven- tion, He was probably the greatest petaral orator our country bas produced, He was speaking one day in the House of Burgesses in Virginia, when a tecinendous atétoi stose, Spch was the power of tis eloquence that he chose the raging storm as ah example of bis argument and while aature’s thunder sheok the hills around the capitol, the thander of his eloquence completely overpowered the stoutest hearts of hié woble audietee. This is said to have beéa one of the grandest triumphs of eloquence the world bas evar known.

THE MAN “ FOSTER” AGAIN. The Committee on elections have near- ly uoaeimously agreed to report against the admission of any of the new members who are applying fot seats from the se- ceded States, whe are. not regularly elect- ed according to law. The man Foster is here agaio with a few testimonials of an election, alleged to have been held some- where, by sumebody, down in North Car- olina, The committee will report against allowing him to take his seat, and the House will, no doubt, endorse theit action. This is the fourth time he bas attempted to gain w seat, and each time he has met with a disgraceful rebuff. Gun. Gro. W.

The question must not be blinked for a moment, that the present year is to be an exceedingly trying one for all necessary aiticles of tuod, for the army and the peo- ple. Thousands of our laboring white population are ia tbe army, and in many cases their families must be suppurted from the public charity. Itis not, however, a charity to support them, but an imperative duty. The families of our soldiers most vot be neglected, Those who stay at home and inake tfoney, must attend to them at any cust. Speculators and extor- Liouers onght to be taxed to their eye lds fur the support of the poor, the families of sofdiers, and to sustain the war. In many of the extreme western coun- ties we apprehend much suffering. In that section, alinost every while mau is a labor- er.

Three of them were immediately arrested, while only two gotaway. ‘These, by some means, were not missed for geveral days. Buton Wednesday last they were brought back. Having nearly exbausted themselves in wandering about” $hreugh the weads and fields to escape * é, they finally calléd at a Farm house in Iredell county, near Cool Spring, and surrendered. The peo- ple of that neighborhood had, however, foand out that suspicious persons were among them, and bad formed companies to scour the country ; so that the men pro- bably acted very wisely in giving them- ‘selves up as soon xs they did.

It is the duty of every individual to give in times of peril, to his country, his whole power. We do not except from this broad proposition neither age, sex nur condition. Every person who cannot do so canscien- tiously and with a will, ought, in our judg- ment, to leave the Confederate States, He who lives among us, enjoying equat- ly the blessings of government, should sup port it by whatewer of resources he may possess, and, if ie be, by peri ing his life upon the battle Geld.“ We hoid this course to be one of imperative duty. All men are not alike qualified for all the responsibilities which now press upon the couutry, But itis the bounden duty of each member of this aod other commu- vities to assume all that he is able to per- form, and to seek only such position as he is qualified to fill: 80 that by economical arrangement of the powers of each the greatest total of results may be attained. Genuine and true patriotism is unselfish, and will never stand in the pathway of the utmost good to the whole country. Pri vate ends and personal ambition always yield their appetices tu the public interest aud the general good of the couutry by the truly patriotic ao. Our State is ac- tually invaded by the enemy ; our Confed- erate army has been unsuccessful; and | there ts actual want of money, of arms and muniiions of war, and of nore soldiers in the field. He who bas money tnast contribute it ; be whe can increase, by labor or otherwise arms and munitions of war, should act; | and be who can bear arts should at once do so. Not one, but every one should in- quire Low, where aod in what way be can do most to give strength and power to his (roverntment, to insure its prompt and cer- tain success in its struggle for property, hberty and life! The time has come when we must drive back the foe, or be overrun and degraded. He who does not see and realize this issue | Is not to be envied for his penetration or lis sagacity. The period has come when we must act —and be who now refuses to put forth his powers, whatever they may be, in support of Unis desperate and deadly struggle, in belialt of his country, must be held either “a cumberer of the yround” he occupies, unworthy the name of a Southerner, and | can be ouly placed as against! This will be the only safe calculation to make upon him who refuses now to aid and assist his fellows, with all of bis capabilites of char- acter and of possession ! Nor can any be so dull and stupid as not to see that nothing less than our whole power can be relied upon for success.— With the exertion of our entire strength, we can repel the invader from our State; and we shall then exhibit the spirit of he- rolsin whieh cannot fail to dispel the illu- sion from the enemy’s mind, that a large portion of our people are false to the South — lygnorant of their own interest—insensi- ble of their duty, and fit subjects for Norsh- ern rnle and dominion ! We assuine that the whole power of our conntry ts demanded; that it is the duty of each member of the whole to ex- ert his own powers, so that the greatest results way be achieved. He who fails to act, falls short of duty, of interest, and pa- triotismn. Tt is the duty and interest of each one at this juncture to enter the army and to stand by the Government that seeks to se- cure to her citizens property, liberty and life. Weare allin the same boat, and we must perish or live as one man. The responsibilities and duties rest alike on all. Memphis Avalanche. RYE COFFEE, Dr. L. J. Roberts, in a letter to the La Grange Reporter, warns the public against the use of Rye as a substitute for Coffee. He says: The grain when burnt contains upwards of fifty per cent. of phosphorie acid, which acts Injuriously upon the whole bony struc- ture. In the young it effectually prevents the full development of the oeacous tissues, and in the old, it lays the foundation for dry yangrene. It possesses the power of dissolving the phosphate of lime, which constituies upwards of fifty per cent. of the bone in man. The same power it ex- erts over utero gestation, and thereby brings about all the concomitant evils of abortion. Cases of this kind have come vader my professional observation during afew mooths past, and [ think the facts ought to be spread before the people. How many people will believe the abovef And what are the people to do for coffee. WEEKLY. SALISBURY, 2 Spee ten MARYLAND. There is yet a ray of hope that ere the close of the prevent strug: le, gallant Ma- ryland, whose sons and daughters have been groading beneath the heel of oppres- sion, will be with us, and one of us, Her proud spirit eanvot be crushed, and her brave men and women intensely | for a deliverance from their thraldom. - As an evidence of the spirit prevailing in Bal- timore, we give the following extract of a letter written in that city and published in the Nerfolk Day Book, of the 15th inst : “ However, we bave not yet despaired.

No rest for traitors!” And again: “It will be time evough to proclaim an afesty when the rebellion bas everywhere felt the armed \peclsnd dhe.

Until that consummation is reached there can be ve amnesty.” We tell the Herald that it may save its nonsense, and the Tribune that it is use- lessly displaying its ferocity.

He then takes arapid view of all the political acts of the Union during its existence ; its rapid increase, its spirit of annexation, its views upon Mexico and Cuba, the high tone it assumed towards the smaller States of South America, as if it already possessed them; the utter ab- sence, on the Ainerican continent, of any | power able to control the growth of the great absorbing republic, which bas never disguised its ultimate views upon Europe, having more than once put forth its pre tension to intervense in this quarter of the globe, to make its influence felt and to ders. propagate its Principies ; and, lastly, the | The President bas suspeuded Generals uncourteous bebaviour of the United States | Floyd and Pillow from their commands towards foreign nations, whose feelings l ontil they give more satisfactory accounts have often been burt by the uncompromis-| i+ ihotr action at Fort Donelson.

At Reynoldsburg, Hamphreys county, he witnessed the pus: sage up of thirty-two Federal steamers in- ‘cluding one gun boat, Monday afternoon, and early in the evening fourteen more transports. Additional boats passed up on Tuesday, carrying cavalry, wagons, artille- ry, mules, etc. The number of vessela composing the last fleet was not known.” FE A Visit to Brunswick and its Results, —Colonel Carey W.

The fortune of WasutxcTor ‘wax nearly always to be driven back, yet He was allways stronger after a quasi deféat than befure. Tt is al- most an axiom in warfare, that if an iovad- ing army does vot crush its adversary in an yengagement, it has really suffered defeat. The celebrated remark of Pyrrucs, “ one more such victory and we are undone,” had its natural seqnel in his speedy retire- ment altogether from the Roman territo- fies. It is yet a problem whether the South- ern people, by long peace and prosperity, have lost their heroic character ; and this problem is to be thoroughly tested in the next three months. It must be confessed that we made uo use of the advantages we yained in the first months of the struggle 5 and did not show ourselves proof against the blandishinents of prosperity. It is now to be seen with what fortitude we shall bear the trials of adversity. If we rise superior to these, we shall conquer our foe and prove ourselves worthy of thd Hberty and of the country and institutions with which Heav- en has Blessed us. If we basely succumb to the pressure of misfortune, we shall de- serve aby fate that inay await us, and de- monstrate to the world that we ‘Were fit subjects: for subjugation. Thé task before us is an easy one, pro- vided only that we have theUetérmination to perform it. A million of men, fighting for their hoes and altars, can easily de- stroy half'a million of invaders, if they but choose to do su. If they do nét drive out such an invasion, and bring it to speedy grief, they will deserve subjugation. In this work every man can take n band.— Energy, courage, daring, will soun execute the task, if they be only employed. Let the people retnember this and be not dis- mayed.

We learn that all the pork and beef which the Government has received from the contractors was saved at Nashville. The pork and beef lost at Narhville was the loss of the contractors, it not having undorgone the salting and packing called for by the terms of their contracts.

There are thousands of Achans in the Southern Confederacy, every one of whom is a trouble to the camp, a re- proach to our cause, and a hindrance to our success, They have locked up the silver and the gold, and spend toiling days and sleep- less nights in scraping together the glittering trash, thinking by this means, to secure them- selves and their furnilies, from the bardships times threaten os. But their hope is not on- ly vain, but art insult to the God who alone guides the storm, setting up and casting down whom he wills. We met with three miserable Achans laet Wednesday-—rich original secessionists,-— who would not give a cent for . the relief of soldiers in distress ; and for their benefit and the good of the public in general, we will pub- lish in our next a valuable articleon ‘ Achan's Tréspass.” If we are to succeed in this rev- olution we must all help.

If the stinginess of the people should be the means of letting in the enemy, what will become of their money?

The ease with which she glided about—her laughing, happy faee—her beantifal blue eye, which, eave a slight dancing, seemed any thing bat raylees—and her free glad warblings, merry as a bdird’s, 80 etrack me, that I asked my friend if the littke one could not see?

Hast forgotten it Bessie?” “ Ah! 00, stranger !”—and she like an angel-innocent, the following : * Alas! how bitter is my lot Without a friend, without a home, Alone, unpitied, and forgot, A sightless orphan now | roam. “ Where is that gentle mother now, Who once so fondly o'er me smiled, Who gently kissed my burning brow, And to her bosom clasped her child ? “T could not see that angel eye, Suffused with many a bitter tear; But oh} her deep, heart-rending sight, _ Btole mournful on my listening ear. “Y knelt beside the dying Yed ; I felt her lagt expiring breath ; ‘God bless my child,’ she faintly said, And closed those lovely eyes in death. “Oh! how I long to soar away, Where that departed one doth dwell, To join with her the choral lay, Angelic choirs forever swell.” The tears rolled down those rose- bud cheekéj and ere she had finish- ed, sti had clasped her.tiny hands, and turning her darkened eyes to heave » “I'LL 88K THAT MOTHER ‘she sdid; and reader would n’t you havé wept too? Coald you have stayed the fountain then ?— “‘ Bot, stranger,” said Bessie, brush- ing away the tears, and shaking back the etirls, “tet me tell the rest too, for it makes my little heart grateful.” Lady,” she commenced, »** one Jong year ago, ny poor, sick mother went to heaven, and left me alone, in thia big, wide world, I had no bro ther, no sister, and iny father died when. I was a little babe. , The last words ny mother. breathed were these—and, lady, Ishall never furyet them: ‘O God, to thee I give my only jewel—iny poor, blind Bessie. Thou wilt take care of her,’—and | kiseing me, she died. I knelt down by the bed, and wanted God to take me too! I then thought uf the souy she had tanght me, and which so of- ten I sang to her, and though I could not see her, the warm tears that fell on my face, and her deep sobs, told me that she was weepihy. I sang the song again, but no tears fell on m5’ face, and all was so atill!

Que was a yirl of sixteen years, froin the Sabbath school; the other, a suber, matronly lady, of about sixty years. As thie young girl wus relating the experience of ber heart, her accep- tance of the dear Saviour, and asslie rebearsed the stury of Christ’s love and suffering, the lady was observed to be sae profasely weeping. When the maiden tad finished her story, the lady could not refrain frown approaching Ler; and bending over her, ehe wreeted her with an affec- tionate kiss, saying, as she did it,— “O, 1 can never forgive myself, that I have lived so long without loving Christ, wheu | might have begun as young as you?” Whateelf-reproach and Bitter refluctions will be saved to our children, if the grace of God should convert them in early years. Exemptions.—One of the most serious difficulties connected with «a draft, and which perhaps eauses nearly atl the dissat- isfaction that arises, is the rule or manner of granting exemptions. It is clearly and unmistakably the doty of every man who is capable of bearing arms aud enduring the hardships of camp life to do so with- out besitarcy, at a ume hke this when his country calls. Exemptions <hould be inade under some fixed and just rule, un- biased by favor or atfeetion. In this State, the law exempts very few, except those who may be pronounced by physeians as unfit for duty, yet the large vember who obtain certifieates frym physicians, produ- ces much discunteut. People find it diffi- cult to believe that men who tntil now have been capable of performing auy oth- er service, are found to be entirely uutit to make soldiers. Captious persons or those who are not very credulous, will inspite of the doctars, believe that the desense which how afflicts soine persons, ia sheer cowar- dice mere than any thing else. It is cer- tainly not the case with all, In the reeeat draft, the colonels and oth- ers are allowed to exempt, without the shadow of reason. Thia we copsider un- fortuoate for our cause. [n Virginia, this natter is managed with greater propriety. In that State neither the Governor, Ad jutant General nor Colonels are allowed to grant exemptions. Thé whole matter has | been p inthe hands of a Bvard of Magistrates for each County or corporation. As magistrates are not exempt iu thie State perhaps it would be better to authorize Board for that pu from amoug the most wise and discreet citizens over 50 years of age.— Raleiyh Standard.

BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, From the Nort ACHAN’S TRESPASS AND ISRAEL'S DEFEAT. Our late reverses in arms have remind- ed us of that portion of Scripture found in tbe 7th chapter of Joshua. Gud had brought the Israelites over Jordan, on dry round, and overthrown Jericho, without Joss of life to them, and they became ela- ted—expecting the Lord to do all for them; yea, even Jusliua seems tu have formed bis plaas for taking Ai, without asking counsel of the Lord. But they gwere de- feated and fled. The news comes to Josh- ua and the elders of Israel; then what do we see, aud what an example for us sow to follow—not only for oue Provident and | daring erimes have bro culers, but ove and all, from highest to the lowest. “The commander-ia-chief of ibe armies of the living God ; the successor of Moses ; the conqueror of Jericho; surround- ed by all the elders of Israel, prostrate in the dust, and with their faces to the ground before the ark of the Lord ; and with dust upon their beads aad clothes all reat, frow morn uatil evening!” But fasting humil- jation and prayer, though absolutely ne cessary aud highly proper in themselves, are still not evough. We must not only cou- fess Sin but we must forsake it; bring forth fruits meet for repentance, show by our forsaking sin and pulling away the accurs- ed thing, that our repentance is real and our confessivo genuine. Hence God ‘does vot say tu Jushua, lie still and mourn ; but ‘Get thee up; Israel hath sinned.’ The sin must be found out and redressed, and then you may fall down and plead for par- don. It isto no purpose, whatever, to pray against punishment, while the sin continues.” As God said to Joshua, so be might say to us now: “Up, sanetify the people and say, sanctify yourselves against to-morrow : for thus saith the Lord God of Israel ; there is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, ©! Israel; thou can’st not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the ac- cursed thing from among you ; neither will I be with you any more except ye destroy the accursed from among you.” Then God proceeded to tell them how and what to do, which they did by castings lots tll it fell upon Achan, whom with his family (perhaps as accessory) and goods, his own and stolen, they destroyed. Then God’s anger was appeased, and be returned to fa- vor Israel, and “said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou discouraged.” Then they went in full force (as commanded) and took Ai, and God continued to prosper them while they sought his counsel and follow- ed his precepts. Now all Scripture is written for our in- struction aud profit, and this part perbaps especially for us now. God has prospered our arms till latterly; and why not still; May we not also have “committed a tres pass in the accursed thing” and stored away our silver and gold in our houses, and our hearts with it! Up to this year we trusted in God and kept our powder dry, but since have neglected both in a great degree. — Like Joslina in regard to Ai, we have not wholly sought the Lord or made full and vigorous efforts, thiuking those in the field vea, often a mere detacliment of them, suf. ficient. But we may find, as Joshua did, that we need not only to have full reliance jn God, but use our every effort, one and all, united and all together, ere we succeed. But our reliance upon an arm of flesh, and withholding men and means, may not be our only and chief trespass, Not to mention Sabbath desecration, profanity, &c., prevalent at home and more so in the army, our chief offence and heinous sin seems to be in the making and drinking of liquor— the source of nearly all the other evils.— Now this ,we think, is “the accursed thing” for which the Lord is afflicting us, and we need not expect better times till we pul. it away. Our fasting and prayer, like that of Joshua and those with him, will be una- vailing, till we do as dhey did. From Josh- ua’s prayer it seems he considered the tri- vial check in the defeat at Ai, as the fore- runner of total ruin, notwithstanding Go's ieat and past success ; so many now rom late reverses likely are beginning to fear lest our cause is going to be ruined. Joshua erred, and so may such, Yet, un- tess we do as Joshua did, we may well fear. *Tis hoped, in answer to our individual and uniled supplications, God wiil grant grace and wisdom to devise such wholesome measures aa will redress the evil or evils in our midst, and that God may be with us again—with us as He was the past year, and as we find He was with the people of Inract after they put away the evil—the accursed tiring from among them. Then, | in anawér to prayer, hear God | are suffered to escape with impunity ; nay, = est arta instead of standing still aad waiting for God's, help as Moses exhorted the people of Ierse| at the Red Sea; or, in other words, being simply on the defensive, as we have been, we may, while trusting in God and ikin unto us as He did to Moses, to Tid ifs people:“go forward.” But we conclude in the language of Scott, the commentator : “Times of public danger nod calamity, therefore, with ba tions professing Christianity, peculiarly re- quire seal for reformation notorious erimi- nals ought thet to be searched out, aud brought to condign punishment ; especial ee ————___—_— ——— am From the ith Standard. / LIWEes eb. proki On the passage of the’ Bit by the Conventio Sela tit ly such as have enriched themselves by sacrilege, perjury, murder, oppression and | iniquitous traffic.

T. R. A COUPLE OF SECRETS. Friend Evans of the Milton Chronicle, having been obliged to suspend for three weeks for the want of paper, which his friends here bad seot him by ‘‘ express,” but which, he says iustead of being left at Hillsboro’ was sent to Charlotte or to Tex- as, lets off his peut up wit haudsomely. The following, bowever, is rather more true than witty: | “We want to tell the people of the | South a couple of secrets, and briefly nar- rated, they are these: You will never achieve Southern Independence, sv long as ove half if not two-thirds of our Southern men fit for the field hold back from it and wait for a draft; and, when a draft comes, dodge, squirm and try to get off. If we get liberty and independence, every man able to kill a Yankee must manifest an anx- iety to pitch into the fight, and his cry should be, “ let mz at the enemy,” instead of trying to avoid the field. The other secret is equally important to our success. This desire of oue half of our people to | make fortunes out of the war by eating the other half up, must be stopped. Men hav- ing the necessaries of life to sell, must let | them go at moderate prices, and be will | ing to give them away to the poor and } needy unable to buy. The neh man must | himself pitch iato battle, if he is physically able, and generously throw open his pock- et book, corn crib and meat house to his poor neighbors, instead of skulking the battle field, locking up his money and throwing the key away, and demanding the most exorbitant prices (in cash) for every thing he has to sell, We have too many Shylocks—too many Southern Yan- kees, meaner by far than a Northern Yan- kee ever dared to be. They must be put down—crushed out—or all our struggles for independence will be vain. The far- mer who has corn and meat to sell, and who studies how to make people pay bim three prices for them, thinks that is helping along to whip the Yankees. He is foul, aud is doing more to defeat the cause of the South than a whole Yankee regiment can do. The same may be said of tbe merchant, whose patriotism consists in asking enormous prices on his goods. To get Independence we must study how to make sacrifices—how to help each other along—and not how big a pile of money we can make by extortion, gouging, galf- ing, robbing or stealing from each other. You must throw open your corn cribs and neat houses to the poor, vou must open your pocket books and generously shell out your dimes to the families of poor tnen fighting for you. You must not promise to do great things for a poor man’s famity to get him to do that which you are afraid to do for yourselves, and when tie has gone to the battle field refuse to half fulfil your copious promises, We speak as unto wise men, judge ye what we say.” \ Yankee Expectation and Hope.—The evac- uation of Mauassas has so much elated the Yankees that they think the rebellion well nigh ‘‘ crashed.” The news imparted a buoy - ant feeling to Wall street, and stocks took a sadden rise. The New York Herald hus a long article on the Federal! occaputicn of Manasesus. With the proepect of onr subjagation be fore its eyer, the Philedelphia Presa is discursing how the rebels are to be treated This Black Re- publican oracle ives little comfort to the prese, ae we are well told, in the event of their vieto- ry, what we may expect of our Vankee task- masters in the following paragraph: © [tis suggested that, ae our armies advance into the Soath. all the rebel journals shall be inimediately suppressed, and the types, me- chinery and paper used to publich Union news- papers.

Perfidy of the North—-Message from President Davis in Sgeret Seasion of ‘Congress. The Richmond Ezasniner says. We learn that yesterday # message from the President was sent into Congress in secret seasion, recommending (bat all our prisynera who had been, put on parole. by the Yaukee Government : be released from the obligation of the parole, so as to bear arms in our siruggle for independence. The recommendation was urged aa @ re- taliation for the infamous and reckiess breach of goud faith on the part of the Northern Government with regard to the exchange of prisoners, and was accompa- nied by the exposure of this great perfidy in a lengthy correspondence. conducted by War Department. We have been enabled to extract the points of this interesting correspondence. It appears from the correspondence that at the tine permission was asked by the Northern Government for Mesers. Fish and Atnes to visit their prisoners within the jurisdiction of the South, our Goveraiment, while denying this permission, sought to improve the opportunity by concerting a settled plan for the exchange of prisoners. For the execution of this purpose Messrs. Coprad aud Seddon were deputed by our Government as commissioners to meet those of the Northern Government under a flag of truce at Norfolk. Subsequently a letter from Gen, Wool was addressed to Gen. Huger, informing him that he, Gen. Wool, bud full authori- prisoners, and asking an interview on the subject. Gen. Howell Cobb was then ap- pointed by the Government to mediate with Gen. Wool, and to settle a permanent plan for the exchange of prisoners during the war. The adjustment was considered to have been satisfactorily made. It was agreed that the prisoners of war in the hands of each Government sbould be exchanged, man for man, the officers being assimilated as to rank, d&c.; that our privatecrsimen should be exchanged on the footing of prisoners of war; that any sur- plus remainiog on hand after these ex— changes should be released, aud that here- after during the continuance of the war, prisoness taken on either side should be paroled. In carrying out this agreement, our Go- verpment bas released some three hundred prisoners above those exchanged by the North, the balance in the competing num- bers of prisoners in the hands of the two Governments being so much in our favor. At the time, however, ofsending North the hostages we bad retained for our priva- teersmen, Gen, Cobb had reason to suspect the good faith of the Northern Govern— ment, and telegraphed in time to inter—- cept the release of a portion of theee bos- tages (among thetn Col. Corcoran,) who were en route from points further South than Richmond to go North under flag of | truce at Norfolk. A number of these hos~ | tages, however, bad already been dis- i charged. It now appears, that in contravention of the solemn agreement of the Northern Go- vernment, not one of our Pees have been released, and the Fort Donelson prisoners, instead of being paroled, have been taken into the interior, where they are still con6ned. As a judgment upon this open and shameless perfidy of the North, it is pro- osed that our prisoners, who have been paroled by the Yankees, shall be released from their obligations. | doubt of the honor of such a proposition as there is of its justnees and meetness as a retaliatory measure for an act of flagrant our enemies will have afloat a large num- | perfidy. ber of such vessels in as short a time as the pature of their construction will allow. | Unless we mean to give up our sea-coast to the invader, we must be ready to meet iton with jron.

The people would have paid the tax cheerfully, and Bad prepared to do ao. Jt may. be said that. it was im- possible tocollect it from a num ber of.counr ties beeause they are in ponsession of the enemy. That is true; but the State tight have paid the tax fof those conaties and collected it from them hereafter. The people of the counties not ocqupied by the enemy are better as to pay the tax now than they will be hereafter when 'the interest of an incrested State debt will have to be provided for. by: taxation, and when part of the debt itself must be liquix dated. We ought to pay a we god as much as ible, and not leave everything to be settled at the end of the war. Ind viduals who are now postponing the pay- ment of their debts till the war closes or until the operation of the stay law cénses, will bave cause for regret us long as they live, Money will not and caavot be. as plenty after the war as it is now, This ex sertion js as true as truth can be, and eve- rybody living atthe end of the war will find itso. Mark that. The State, by re- fusing to collect the war tax now, only i- creases the difficulty and pressure which will take place bereefter. Therefore, we say, people should have been ‘allowed to |to pay the tax vow, and aleo encouraged | to pay every cther debt they could, instead of being invited to postpote payment by | the action of the Legislature and Conves- tion, We are entirely willing to wait for time, which tries all things, to show that we are correct in these matters.

All day Thursday the Yan- kees cousinued to shell the batteries below us, and towards dark the shell commenced falling along our lines During the whole day the rain continued to fall, my clothes were wet through. The enemy now commenced landing, and con- tinved toshellusuntil atlerdark. Nightcame on; our mea were exhausted, cold and wet.— We threw purselves down ou the wet ground, wrapped ourselves in our drenched blankets, and tried to rest. The rain éell all night long. We had no tents nor houses, I sappore J slept an hour that night. Towards daylight our pickets were driven in by the enemy, we were instantly aroused, and seizing our guns rushed to the breastworks. We were heldin suspense for two hours, At length the fring commenc- ed on the right. At the same time the steain- ers from the river commenced pouring the shells into our left. ‘The ‘‘Guijford Greys’? were stationed on the extreme seft wing, and were within five hundred yards of the enemy’ssteam- ers during the hottest of the fight. The situation of our company was perfectly awful. The infantry of the enemy did not ex- pose themselves to our fire, and while the shell were falling all around us, and in our midst as fast as hail. or the click ef a clock, we (the Grays”) could not do a thing. We lay in the ditch which was half filled with water and mud, hoping, praying—that the enemy would show themselves to us, so (hat we could return the havoc which was raging along the left of our line.

Stull we could not return the fire. How we prayed in that dark und bloody hour that the men who were pouring death into our ranks would but show themselves. The steamers had now approached within three hundred yards of our company. In five more minutes they could have beeu in our rear, and without breastworks to protect us, one broadside from a singla steam- er would have sent every soul of us into eterni- ty.

Har- rying across the field fled our whole army ; we could not stay there alone—none to support us. we started in a full run, the last to leave the field, the very last. The enemy now came up from a ravine just behind our company and took possession of our wing of the line just as we left. The steamers continued to shell us as fast asever. Every moment, umil I reached New- bern, a distance of eight miles, the boinbs were bursting over my head and around me ‘The others all soon vut-distanced me and I wae left j alone.

THE USE OF ADVERSITY. Not every one is uble to meet disaster and disappointment without discouragement. Ac- customed to judge superficially, many will in- eist that every cloud portends a storm, every storm, a tornado, and every tonnady, utter de- struction. It matters not if all reason, ull his- tory, all experienre is aguinst their theory. They delight in distressing themselves and oth- ere with their unmanly fears. Even David, of old,—though he had God's promise that he should mount the throne of Jsrael—when he saw danger thickening around him, declared, ‘1 shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul.” Influenced by this unreasonable fear, he deserted his post, aud damaged his cause by the desertion. If thislugubrions foreboding was innocent, the croaker might croak to his heart's content. But it is eviland damages the cause of our country. It weekens effort, un- nerves more conrageous spirits, and gives uid and comfort to the enemy. Nu patriot should therefore indulge in the unp:triotic luxury of cruaking. Ov the contrary, disasters are often the harbingers of ultimate success. The disas- trous plains of Manassas showed our enemies the necessity for exerting every energy; and they have done it. Roanoke, Donelson and Newbern, teach us the same lesson. Itis a profitable one. Ina few more weeks this les- son will be recited tothe great joy of our coun- try. Adversity awakes to uctivity. Besides all this, hardship only sweetens rest from toil, and enhances the estimation of that liberty, which is wrested from the usarper, by a migh- ty struggle. The boon that costs nothing is seldom appreciated. Liberty must be blood- bought to be zealously cherished. A Govern- ment springing up ak rapidly and as noiselessly us the mushroom is apt to be as useless and as transient. To be stroug, permanent, and cher- ished. it must come out of tribulation, be cra- dled emong the storms of war. and baptized with blood. Instead of reading subjugation in our recent disasters, we should reud the hope of a glorious independence and perpetuity. All our sorrows and privations only widen she breach, and draw our affections aronud the Government of our choice. ‘The eight years ofthe American Kevolution, with all its terri- ble disasters and cruel sufferings,—more dark and gloomy than uught we have yet beheld,— geve an impulse to the infant Republic that propelled it onward nearly a century, and 50 | endeared it to every patriot, that nothing but | long continued injustice and oppression, culmi- | nating in usurpation could tear from it the af- | fections of every heart. But the miserable | remnants of that glorious fabrie we can never again respect, muck less love. And the object | that dicplaces it must be, not only as good, but | equally costly. We have not vet paid enough for it to love it well Let us Jay all we have upon the altar, pay the full price at once, and by one tremendous struggle, and the blessing of God, achieve our country’s independence. Let | no Lazarus Lackrymose whining over whole- some disaster, dispiril, or unnerve us. Let our ranks be filled up; let those who cannot fight, labor for the support, and pray for the success of our urmies, and then, having the emiles of Heuven upon a righteous cause, it must alti- mately triumph. aaa \ ett -e-- ee THE BATTLEIN ARKANSAS.

MAJOR GENERAL HOLMES. The people of North Carolina will be grati- fied to learn that Major General Helmes, of this State, has been assigned to the cormmand of Confederate forces in thisdepaitment. His experience as a soldier and his efficient servi- ‘ces rendered in his Jate command on the Poto- mac, give assurances that the interests of the State will be safe in his hands. Let our brave nen rally to his standurd, and Jet the people every where render him all possible assirtance in providing for our detence and driving the e1- emy from our soil. The following General Order, issued by him on the 25th inst., exhibits the spirit with which he enters upon his work : «The enemy are befure usand must advance at an early day. If we do not defeat him, North Carolina will be under his worse than vanda, despotism. Let us all then give our- selves up body and mind to the sacred duty of her defence. ‘To effect this, the strictest dis- cipline must be preserved, and the command- ers of Companies, Regiments, and Brigades ure required to enforce the most exact obedi- ence to all orders and regula tons. Until for- ther orders no furloughs will be granted, nor will any officer or soldier be permitted to leave his camp without permission from his Brigade commander. The most uctive system of drill will be instituted, and every commanding off- cer is held responsible, that his command is ready to march at « mupent’s naetice.” oe — GEN. GATLIN.

John- ston in falliag back from the Mangssug fine has discuncerted the enemy as profoundly as his movement last summer from Har- per’s ‘Ferry to Winchester, Bel per y bo- dy denouuced at that tine, and which, with* characteristic composure, the veteran warior left them to denounce till explained by results at Manassas wlrich silenced eve- ry tongue and cotverted the ' croakings of the fault-fluders into shouts of applause.— The New York Evening Post considers thaf'the late retreat is the masterly mili- tary, wovement of the war. But profound is the disappointment which it-bas brought upon the enemy. McClellan bas been outwited just as Scott was before him.— He had prepared a grand plan for taking the position of Jobastou at Manassas iv tbe rear, but an eagle eye was iwatching and anticipating ht movements, and when his advance ‘guard was actually crossing a gap in the Blue Ridge at Suickersville, for the purpose of executing a projected move- ment, Johnston, who bad been preparing for it fur weeks, bad successfuly removed the whole of his immense armament and stores, and was bringing bis last man out of the trap which McClellau had laid for his destruction. The Army of the Potomac is, by his masterly movement, 1D a Mure secure and stronger position than ever before, and has new reasun for coubdence inv this great Generai, who, as a strategist, bas success- ively baffled the best plavs of Scott and McCrellan, and as a soldier is one of the best and bravest of modern times.

Rather Funny.—Vhe Greenville Ban-~ ner relates a funny iicident of the war whieh happened lately in one of the bor- der-counties of Teanessee, as follows: A company of some thirty or forty Un ion men were trying to make their escape to Kentucky, to join the Northero army § they came to a creek which they were compelled to wade. Not wishing to get theit ciothes wet, they “shelled off” all to ubeir shirte, and while in this condition they were surprised by a company of Jcths cavalry boys, who were in hot pursuit of theme ‘Being somewhat frightened, they fled in double quick, making a “straight shirt tail” up bill aud down hill, leaving their clothes in possession aud appropria- ted the What became of the to- ries we are unable (o say; but rather sup- puse they are in & poor condition for the cold weatlier, Same, What the Yankees are doing with | the Contrabands at Port Loyal. The steamer Aclautic left New York a few days sutce with a large cargocof army stures, and about sixty passeugers who ae- compauied Mr. E. L. Pierce, the Govern- ineut agent in charge of the plantations and vontrabapds at Port Royal, Three- fourths of the uutnber are men who are to be superintendeuts of ibe alpudyned es tates, and will direct the labors of the ne- groes, wha are tu be employed in such ag- ncullural pursuits as cuitun culture and raising vegetables for their own suppurt, and for the use of the army at that point.

Mrs. Senator Harlan, of luwayis among the ladies, and will assist 1m some department of the work. , About three thousand dollars worth of agricultural implements, including plows, hues, and others in inmost comniun use have been purchased by Mr. Pierce, and will be taken to Port Royal iu the Atlan- tic. He takes also a quantity of seeds, including one barrel coutributed from the Patent Office at Washington, as well as some medicines and other necessary arti- cles. CABBAGE SPROUTS. Very few people take half the pains they ought with cabbages. When they are cut vo matter how—the stumps are left to bring sprouts no matter when, vor how many. Now, the fact is, than when the sprouts bein to come they should be all rubbed off but the best, or at most two: but if there be only one left to grow on each stump, it will grow faster and better, aod be occasionally as good as the first bead that was cut; iastead of which, a multitude of small ones are allowed to grow, not any of which bring yood hearts, and all are, for the most part, but a poor apology fur greens. When a cabbage is cut, the leaves should be cut off the stem, and as soon as the buds of the stump be- gin to grow, rub off or cut all that are not wanted, Jeaving one of the strongest and best to grow into a head, which it will do in ineredibfy short time; equalling aud more frequently excelling, the first head itself, in flavor and appearance. This is adopted for families more than market Hyon | gardens, because there is some trouble in ' rubbing or taking off the useless shoots ; / but it is well worth while ip the case of jearly eabbages, in a private family, for it forms an excellent second crop. soe Rye Coffee not Poison.—Several phy- sicians and chemists are out in the papers in denial of the statement recently made of déeterious effects of rye coffee. We have no doubt that Dr. Crawcour, Profes- sur of Chemistry in the New Orleans School of Medicine, is right in saying that the whole story about rye being a poison is “one tissye of absurdity and error, The poblic may fest assured that rye coffee is ‘fis ma as the finest Mocha.” sara | inposeot, and may be used with ALES 7 : DOED.

The farmers in al! parts of the South, will, ‘Uhis-year, expend their efforts for the production pt provision crops. ‘Tpoosands upon thousands iof.néres heretofore devoted to cotton and tv- bacco will be sown in corn and wheat. The farmers of this part of North Carolina have for years given their alnost exclusive attention to Provision crops, and so far 48 we can learn will do so this year. Corn, wheat, oats, rye, pora- toes, beans and peas, are all very important and of indispensable necessity to the country while at war. [lay is another article of prime tecessity ; for without it our cavalry wil fail. Let all our farmers every where, bring them- selves to feel that it is their religious duty to exert all their powers to produce more of these articles than they will need for their own fami- ly use. With plenty of provisione in the land for mau and beast, the enemy, vow seeking to overrun and subjugate us to theirtyranical do- minion, will seon discover that they have un- dertaken an awful big job; and one in which there is no chance for yankee trickery to help them out. [f every Southern man will be truly and zealpsly devoted to our cause, it will be utterly impossible for the enemy to subdue us. Those who are actively luboring at home for the production of provisions, clothing, &c., should not reproach themselves, or fee) as if they ought to be in the camp; because their labor is ws necessury to the succes of our arms ag powder and ball.

Place barrels or hogsheads on a couple of logs so ae to raise them seme eighlor ten inch- es from the ground — Place straw or hag in the botiome of the barrels—then fill with the dirt to be used; pour water on until the dirt is thoroughly saturated, sufficiently so thaun will leach out the vitre when drawn off; let it stand twenty-four hours, then draw off throughs sipall spigot holes near the bettome of the bar— rels. The water drawn off contains the nitre in solution, and should be strained through a cloth or earefally poured off 80 as to free it from dirt and madiness, into a cleavy barrel or tub; then add clean and strong ley made of wood ashes, ip portions, giving time to observe the effect. The time present will be precipi- tated. The qnantity of ley to be added may be ascertained by frequent tests made upon a small quantity of the solution in w cup or other small vessel—when the further addition of ley no longer produces a whitish or curdied appear- ance, the solution is night. Then carefully drain it from the precipitute and sediment, and transfer it) to the pot or kettle ; boil slowly at first, and inerease, but not so as to boil it ever. When reduced two-thirds or three-fourthe;. drain it off into a clean tub or troagh prepared for the purpuse. Asit cools crystale will be formed ; afier erystalization ceares, which will be in twenty-four aours, draw off tha remain- ing ley or liquor, thea rinse the cryatals with water, which add to.he ley drawn off.

Flowers are among the most beautiful of the works of nature, gratifying the eye with every variety of shade and color; from the most brillant and gorgeous to the most modest and retiring; from the splendid tulip, to the pale and modest lily. The contemplation of a flower-garden is delightfdl, even as a inere sigbt and it is peculiarly fitted for young persons, It is, indeed almost discreditable to be unac— qainted with the nature and phenomena of these beautiful creations. The habit of contemplating them is exceedingly favor- able to virtue and calmness of mind; and some of the wisest and best of our species have been remarkable for their love of this kind of study. To a fancifel mind there is scarcely any one thing in nature from which an obvi- ous and striking moral may not be drawn. While gaziog, for instance, upon a flower garden, how vaturally do we compare the difference which is so obvious amung flow- ers, to that which exists among various individuals of the human race. The tulip, the gaudigst and most gorgeous-cvlored of all the flowers, is utterly destitute of scent, and completely useless ;: whily-souse of the most homely looking are characterized by the possession ‘of the most: fragant and powerfui odors. The night-violet is beau- tiful séeénted, yet it is at the same time one of the meanest, and unattractive in its ap- pearance, A small bed of these will at dusk of evening, perfume the air for an immense distance round 5 and yet so little conspicuous are these odorous little flow- ers, that, unless previously xcquainted with their appearance, no one would suspect that the beautiful fragrance sprang from them. It i¢ similar with mankind. The best and most admirable of our race have fre- quently less to boast of, as to personal ap- pearance ‘and mere showy accomplish— ments, then the worst and most worthless. The weak, the selfish, the wicked, fre- quegtly possess a suttidlency of the out- ward ostentation to attract the attention, and secure the applause of the thoughtless million. Though destitute of solid ability, such persons frequently possess yreat ad- dress and great presumption ; and as the majority of mankind are utterly incompe- tent to form a rigid and correct esti ate of character, false pretensions, which are plavsibly set up and boldly maintained, are frequently allowed, when really just ones are opposed or neglected. The truly good and great, on the other hand, rich in wisdem and in virtue, are very frequently modest, even to excessive and painful dif: fidence. The tulip, gaudy and conspicuous, has for a season the advantage of the odurous and modest violet: but that season is but avery brief one, The eye soon tires of gazing upon glaring and beauttul colors ; and the sight which at first exeited adm ration, in time becoines irksome, and ai- most painfol. The delicious fragrance of the reuring violet soon attraets the stadent of nature from the scentless, though splen- did tulip; and the goud sense of inost per- sons causes them to admit, that if the dat- ter be the more beautiful, the former is by far the more estimable. Thus aleo is it with mankind. Though the weak and the worthless may daazle the world for # time, they can not perinanent. deceive it, and though the goud may r awhile be luit in ubvcurity, whieh their matigs.inadestvy indaces them tu choose their good Works, like the fragrance of the violet, will direct attention to them and aeoate the lary ond cogngign pee \ C HRY BENS CEL UO PRY: ~ o 4 were onde | Two: ‘Raghishten, traveling on fuotfriin Dondra Head thero extremity 6¢ the Tsldud of lon, towards Candy, in the intern, abuak They started upon their journey very ear: ly ia the morning; and expected to accom- plish it in three or four’ days, though as the sun is so exceedingly warm im that country they intended to rest during the heat of theday under the shade of the many broad leaved palm trees that grew ‘by the road side. They bad traveled some distance when the younger stopped, and gazing ‘inquir- ingly aroand, said, © T surely heard a cry, as if sume one were hurt. Let us look and see what it can be,” he added, as a low moan now distinetly reached their ears ; it proceeded from a group of cocoa mut trees that grew on their right hand. The brothers sprang hastily but cau- tinously forward, searched carefully around, ull at last the elder exclatmed, laughing, “Here it is, Arthur; come and see;” and as his brother turned towards him, he pointed to a monkey, who having fallen from one of the branches of the fruit tree, Lad hurt himself very severely. “Poor fellow!” said Arthur; and taking him up, he tore a strip from his handker- chief, and bound the wounded limb, and then turned to resume his journey with the monkey in bis arms. “ You surely,” said Robert, “do not intend to take that disgusting animal as your companion, to Candy 1? “Do you think,” replied Arthur, “that I would leave the poor helpless creature to die of his wound? No; he shall be my companion until he is cured, and then he may return, as soon as he likes, to his home in the forest.” The two brothers travelled on their way, though the elder could not sometimes re frain from joking the other abouc his com- anion, They bad jourveved two days, and were about half way from the place of theie destination, when the heat became exceedingly oppressive, and the numerous springs which had heretofore flowed along the side of the road, became dried up, and they began to suffer frum the want of wa- ter, Their strength was failing, they felt | as though they could proceed no further ; and on the moruing of the fourth day, when within about thirty miles of Candy, both brothers sunk down at the foot of a palm tree, exhausted aud parched with thirst. * Must we die here ?” exclaimed Robert with a groan. “Trast in God,” replied Arthur, raising his eyes towards heaven. Suddenly the monkey, who was resting by his side, sprang up and ran eagerly along the road, as if he were searching for something. At last he returned, and seiz- ing Arthur by the arm, endeavored to draw Lim aloug with him. How strange- ly be acts! said the young mim, * what can he have found?” And, summoomyg all his strength, he arose aod followed the animal. When be reached the spot, what met his delighted eyes? There growing in luxuriant abundance, was the rilky, downy pitcher plant, or monkey cup, so called on account of its being sought after by those animals for the purpose of quenching their thirst, The flower is the shape of a cup, about six inches in length, and one and a half in diameter; it basa lid which opens and shuts with the chanyes of the weather and is filled with pure water, a secretion from the plant. The two brothers drank of the water, and were refreshed ; and when they at last reached their home, they related to their friends how the monkey had been the means of saving their lives. “ Lord, how manifold are Thy works! in wisdom hast thou made thern all.” From thie Casket. LITTLE CHILDREN, LOVE ONE ANOTHER. “Let us love one another,” said little Liz- zie, as she threw her arms around her bro- ther’s neck; “dont be angry with me Charley, I did not mean to hurt you, and mamma says it is wrong to be angry.” — “T know it,” said Charley; °l was naugh- | ty to get angry, but I did not stop to think; we will be good again.” So this little brother and sister kissed each other, and commenced their play again, | The next day little Lizzie was very sick, | and could not go out to play; and dav af- ter day she grew worse and worse > till in ;one week she had passed awav—for the l angels, who love children, took her to the beantifnl ety.

Near the elose of his life, Patrick Henry laid his-hand on the bible, and said to a friend, “ Here is a book worth more than all others 5 yet it is my misfortune never to have read it with proper attention until lately.” William Pitt, wheu he came to die, said, “I fear that T bave, like many others, neglected my religious duties too much to have any ground to hope that they can be efficacious on my deathbed.” Confederate Congress.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR- At a time tike the present,it becomes oftheutmostimportaneethatthegeatiemanselectedshouldbeamaawellkaewatothepeopleoftheState. We should avoid,if possible,any beated political controversy,and therefore should select one who has had uo co ion withanyofthesqaabbleswhichhavearisenin regard to the bestewal of patron:age since the commencement of our war for independence. We should select one,in whose patriot- ism and sound judgment the people bave entire confidence,aud who would exert timself to repress the fell spirit of party which already bids fair to be of great ia- Jury to our glucious cause, Would it not therefore for the sake of ' unity at the ballot box,be better tu select suine gentleman who has not been a mem: ber of either the Convention or Legisla- ture—who has not been connected withthereceivingorgivingofthoseoffices, which of late have caused so mucl dissat- isfacuioon and wrangling—and who has heretofore received in some way ¥Inanth festation of the confidence of the people t Allow ine to suguest the oameof Joha Pool cf Pasquotank, His soundness upon the great and ab- sorbing question of Southera Indepen- dence is undoubted.He was run and cor- dially supported upon each and all of the electoral tickets,and received vearly the entire vote of the State, He had previously been a candidate un- der the old party organizations,and re- ceived a very large and flattering vote from the people,aud bas thus become gen- erally known, Of course old party issues are not now to be thought of;and that they are ig- ‘nored upon Ais name is manifested by the large vote cast for him as Elector, And vow that it is desirable that such issues should be ignored in the Guberna- torial election,can aay otber name be sug- gested more likely to accomplish that re-| sult # Mr.Pool ts a man of clear,comprehen- sive intellect;great self-commanod,firm- ness and courage,and would,without| doubt,be hailed at this juncture with ac- clamativa by the people as their chosenleader. THE NEXT GOVERNOR. A number of the papers in this Statehavebeenengagedforsomemonthsin the discussion of the Gubernatorial ques- tion.We have taken but little part in this discussion,fur the reason that we had no favorite to present,and bad no disposi- tion to try to manutacture public opinion in favor of any particular mao.Amongthemanywortliygentiemeonamedfor the office,none,in our judymeat,are bet- ber qualified for the discharge of the im- portant duties that will devolve on the in-cumbent,than the Hon.Wan.A.Graham; but in designating bim as our first choice,there are x»number of other yentlemen, whose names liave been mentioned in this connection,who we could cheerfully sup- port for Governor.We are still satisfied that there ought not to be a partizan can- vass for the office this summer;aod we do not intead to do any thing to bring about such a cauvase.—Greens,Pat. THE GUBERNATORIAL QUESTION. Some of the papers of this State are dis- cussing the question “Who shall be our next.Governor 1”We have,until now, been dumb as an oyster on the subject. in louking around we see sv many geutle- men we would cordially support,that we feel a delicacy in singling out any partic- ular one;there is Brown,of Caswell,he would do first rate.There are Cunning- ham and Reade,of Person,either of whom would make a capital Governor.There is Graham,of Orange,Holden,of Wake, Morehead and Gilmer,of Guilford,Jobu- ston,of Mecklenburg,and many olbers we Might name,avy one of whom will suit us, But in view of the yeeat crisis through which the Old North State is now passiog we would prefer the Hon.Wm.A.Gra- ham,of Orange,over all others.We need just such aman as Mr.Graham in the Executive chair,at a time like this;and, in fact,a head and heart like his,would he found advantageous to the Confedera- cy if employed in President Davis’Cabr- net.We need not tell our readers who Mr.Graham is,or what he is—suffice it to say he si a statesmanof the highest orderintheworldandtheverymanforthe Umes.But we will eupport apy otber man, =or x ‘tow Secs 4g | | worthy and Nei qualified,without regard|tehie political antecedents.

CONSCRIPTION. Extract from the Junior Editor of the Mil- ton Chronicle,dated Tovo’s Point,Va.,April 4,1862. *«2 ** Your opinion and mine,touching the propos- ed Conscription act,differ somewhat,though the law may smeck of despotiem a little.[ think it aa admirable plan for organizing.The truth is,I have hadobservation enough to know it.Our army is not disciplined as it should be. Twelve months Volunteers won't do,for the officers,iu too inany cases,are subservient to their whims,and instead of governing,they are governed.But suppose yau drefi,how many. thousands of real first-rate material will skulkthedraftbyhiringsubstituteswhofightfer money instead of privciple und country?[ protest that hirelings are uot the men to fight our battles—the men who dallynotuntil they are fureed to take up arms and defend their own hearth-stones,and who scorn to “wait”until they are ‘hired to fight,”these,mainly, are the men a nation can rely on tor defence.Troe,u draft would get inuny a man now at home consulting his own interest in preference to the welfare of his country,who,could he befedintothefield,would make a good and reli- ble soldier,bat,as I remarked above,toomanythousandsskirkthedraftbyemployingsubsti- tutes,and then what have we?Why,anar- my of hirelings!a majority of them gibbit- birds that know no coantry—who will fight,as long as their pockets are fed fat and no longer. Such an army might do if we had even num- bers (o contend with,but while at sach great odds we requife mer of a different stamp.and the only way to get such men is to do away with substitutes and mike all come inte the field who are young and vigorous.This ismy opinion,though it Fiffers from a great many. * Raveicn,Apri!11,1862. To hie Exceilency, Henry T.Crark, Governor of North Carolina. Sir:The inquiry which you made yester- day respecting the value of the brine which has been employed for preserving meat is impor- tant at this time.Old brine will coutain a large proportion of the salt used,and muy be recov- ered by boiling.Let the brine be poured into an iron kettle,and stir in,while cold,the whites of several eggs.Buil the brine and skim off the dirt from the top as long asit rises. Now strain the liquid,white hot,in order to free it from asuingy sediment.Boilagainand skim,if necessary,reducing the quantity of brine by evaporation until a pelicle of fine salt forms upon the surface.It may now be set by to cool,while crystals of nearly pure salt will be formed.The brine should never be boiled till a dry massis formed,asin that case, it will be impure and dark colored.By repeat- tog the evaporation,the sult may be obtained as pure and white as tuble ealt. Most truly your servant,E.EMMONS State Geologist. P.S.—If the brine is stirred while cooling fine salt will be formed;if it is allowed to cool at reat,a coarse salt will be deposited. ke”Henry Ledbetter,of Anson county, N.C,living near Wadesboro’,is worthy of honorable mention for steadily selling corn at 75 dents after the speculators had placed it at 61.15 SALISBURY,N.Cy APRRIL28, Scot x01862. =1 ther os 2 Titre +Vipers Gy.Our Danger and our Daty.| i —, Tne navacne ov lau.XLV.in the besutifalvalleysoftneRhiue,abomp the clase of ibe 17thcentury,may be taken.9s a 6 the Oualederate Stutes,f the Northam astiry should succeed in ite echemes of nubjugusion and plunder.Eutupe wes then antragad.byatrocitiesinfliotedbyCheittiansapo»Cheriatiana,more fierce and crue!(ham even Mahometans couldhavehad:the heart to perpetrate./Pri-vate dwellings were seséd.te the ground,Gelds laid waste,cities burmty.cherches demolished, and the fruits.ef induetry:,easienly and reth-lesaly desteoyad.Batshuwe Guys of grace were allowedtothe wretohed iphabitants.to fice their us,“the rauds and Belds,which then.lay deep in.seow,were buckened by innumerable snulti-tudes of men,women and childses,flying from their homes.Many died of cold and bunger; but enough survivedto fill the aireets of ull the cities of Europe with leen wud equalid beggars, who had once been thriving farmers and shop- keepers.”.And whut huve we to expect if-our ehemive prevail?Qut humestoo.aretebe pil- laged,our cities sucked and demolished,our pro- perty confiseated,gur true men benged,andthosewhoeecupethegibbetsubedrivenasvag- abonds and wanderers in foreign clunes..‘This beautiful country is to pass out of eur handsa— Theboundaries which mark our States are,in rome instances,tv be effeced,and the States that resnuin are io be eouverted into subject Northern laws.Our property ie to be ruthless,ly seized and \urned over to mercenury strang- ers,in orderto pay the enarmuue debt which our subjugation cest.Our wiveaanddaughters aie to become the prey of brutal lust.The slave, too,wil}slowly pass awuy,as the red man did before him,under the protectinn of,Northern philanihropy ;and the whole country,now like the garden of Eden in beauty aud fertiliiy,will first be a blackened and smoking desert,and then the ministerof Northern cupidity and ava- riee.Ourhisiory willbe worse than Piland and Hungary.There is vot a single redeeming fea ture of ruin which stares usin the face,if we permit ourselves to be conquered.It is anight of thick darkness that will settle aponus.Evensympathy,the lust eoluce of the (fitieted,will be denied us.The civilized world will look coldly upon us,or even jeer us with the taunt that we have deservedly last our own freedom in serking to perpetuate the slavery of others.

The Government does not now recognize itself as an ordiwanceof God,and,whenall the checks and balances of the Constitution are gone,we may easily figure to ourselves the career of this godless inonsterof democratic absolutism.The progress of regulated liberty on this cuntinent will be arrested,anarchy will eoon succeed,and the end will be a mititary desputisin,which pes- verte order by the sacrifice of the last vestige of liberty.We are fully petevaded that the triumph of the North in the pregent conflict will he us disastrous to the hopes of mankind aw to our own fortunes.They are now fighting the buttle of despotism.They have put their Constitution uader theirfeet;they have annull- ed its most solemn guaranties,they are vow engaged,in the halls of Congress,in discussing aud maturing bills which make Nerthern notions of necessity the parantount bawe of the land.— The avowed end of the preseut war is,tomnake the Government a government of force.It is to seitle the principle,that whatever may be its corruptions and abuses,however unjust und ty- rannical its legislation,there is no redress,ex- cept in vain petition or emply remonstrance.— It was a protest against this principle,which sweeps away the last security for liberty,that Virginia,North Carolina,Terinessee and Mis- souri seceded,and if the Government should be reestablished,it must be reestablished with this feature of remorseless despotism firmly and in- delibly fixed.The future fortunes of vur chil- dren,and of this continent,would then be deter- mined by a tyranny which has no parallel in his- tory. On the other hand we are struggling for con- atitutional freedom.We ure apholding the great principles which our fathers bequeathed cs,aud if we should succeed,and become,as we shall, the dominant nation of this continent,we shall perpetuate and diffuse the very liberty for which Washington bled.and which the heroes of the Revolution achieved.We are not revolution- iets—we are resisting arevclution.We are up- holding the true doctrines of the Federal Con- stitution.We are conservative.Our success is the triamph of all that has been considered established in the past.We can never become aggressive ;we may absorb,but we can never invade for conquest,any neighboring State.— The peace of thé world is secured if our arms cimen of the |appallingdesolation whiewielikely (o pvetlipienad’ country,and in a sherttimes the historian telis| peovinees,governed by Northern rulers and by,’ eeoanRG TY prevail.‘We sliall huve a Guvernddwatithul ac-.. lk es God,that reverences ight,undthat:wakes jaw esupréme.We are,there-'fore,Gghting not for ourselves atone,bet,when1thestroggleisrightlyunderstood,fur the sal- vatiop of thie noble eontinent'It a noble cause in which we ure engaged.There is ev- ery thing in it to rouse the heart and to nerve the arm of the freeman und the patrivt;und though it may now seen té be under weloud,it is ton big with the future of our ruce tobe suf: fered to fail.1¢cannot fail;it must.not fail Our people mast yot brovk the infamy uf be- traying their sablirie trust.This besutiful land we mast never euffer to pess into the hends of| strangers,Our fivide,uur homes,our firesiden and sepulchres,our cities endtemples,our wives and‘deughters,we must protect at every hes-4ard.‘The gloricus inheriunce which our fa- thers left ve we muet never betray.The hopes with which they died,and which buoyed their spirits in the laet conflict,of mveking theér coun: try @ blessing to the world,we must not permit to be unreutized.We must seize the torch froin: their hands,and transmit it with increasing brightness to distant generations.The ‘word failure muat not be pronounced among us ft is nol #thingsebedreamedof...We aust set-tle it that we musfeucceed.We muatgit down and count the éhances.Theré is tod much at stake to think of discussing probubilities—we nivst make success uw certuinty,and-that,by the bleesing of God,wecando.If we are pre- pared to do our daty,we have nothing to fear. But whatisourdaty?Thisisa question which we must gravely consider.We shall briefly at- tempt to enewer it.‘ Inthe firet place,we must shake off all ap- thy,and become fully alive w the maguitade of the crisis.We must look the danger in the face,and comprehend the real grandeur of the issoe.We shal]not exert ourselves until we afte sénnible of the need of effort.As long ae we cherish a vagoe hope that help may come from abroad,or that there is something in our past history,or the genias of our instifutions, to protect us from overthrow,we are hugging @ fatal delusion to our bosoms.This apattty was the ruin of Greece at the time of the Macédo- ninn invasion.‘This was the spell which Demosthetieslubored#0 darnestly to break.The Athenian was ag devoted as ever tu his native city und the free institations he inherited from his fathers;but somehow he could sot believe that his country could be conquered.He read its safety in its ancient glory.He felt that it had a prescriptive right to live.The great ur- ator suw and lamented the error;he poured forth his eloquence to dissolve the charm;but the fatal hour had come,and the spiritnfGreere could not be roused.There was no more reul patriotisin at the timeof the second Persian in- vasion than in the age of Philip;but then there was bo apathy,every man «appreciated the dan- ger;he saw the crash that was coming,and prepared himself to resist the blow.He knew that there was no safety except in courage and in desperate effort.Every man,too,felt identified with the State;a part of its weight rested on his shoulders.lt wus this sense of personal responsibility—the profound convic- tion that every one had something to do,and that Greece expected him to do it—this was the public spirit which turned back the count- less hordes of Xerxes,and saved Greece to lib- erty aud man.This is the spirit which we, inust have,if we,too,would succeed.We muat be brought to see thatall,under God,de- pends on ourselves;and,looking away from alf foreign alliances,we must make up our mindstofightdesperatelyandfightlong,if we would rave the country from ruitt,and ourselves frombondage.Every man shoatd feel that he hag un interest inthe State,and tha the State in a meagore léaneppon him ;and he should rouse himeelf to efforts us bold and heroic ax if ull de-pended on his single right urm.Our coarege should rise bight than the danger,and what- ever may be the odds against us,we must sol- emnly resolve,by God’s blessing,that we will rot be conquered.When,with a fall know!l-edge of the danger,we are broughttuthis point, we are in the way of deliverance,but until thie point is reached,itis idle to count on success. It is implied in the spirit which the times demand,that all private interest are sacrificedtothepablicgood.The Stute becomes every- thing,and the individual nothing.Itisno {ine to be casting wbout for expedients to enrich oureelves.The man whois now intent opon money,who turns public necertily and dunger into meane of speculation,would,if very shame did not rebuke him.and he were allowed tofollowthenatoralbentofhisheart.go upon| the field of battle after an engugement and strip the lifeless bodies of his brave country-| men of the few spoils they carried into the fight.Such men,unfit for anything generous or noble themselves,like the hyena,can only suck the blood of the lion.It ought to be a reproach to any man,that he is growing’rich| while his country is bleeding at every pore.If we had a Themistocles among us.le would| not scrople to charge the iniser and extottioner with stealing the Gorgon'’s head;he world| search their etuff,and if he conld not find that,| he would find what would answer his country’s needs much more effectually.‘The spirit most be rebuked;every man must forget himeelf,| and think only of the public good The spirit of faction is even more to be dread- ed than the spirit of avarice and plunder.+It is equally selfish,and is,besides,distracting and divisive.The man who labors to weaken the bands of the Government,that he may seize the reins of authority,or cavils at public measures aud policy,that he ma_rise to dis- tinction and office,has all the selfishness of a miser,and all the baseuess of a traiior,Our rulers are not infallible:but their errors are to be reviewed with candor,and their authority| sustained with unanimity.Whatever hat a tendency to destroy public confidence jn their prudence,their wisdom,their energy,azd their | patriotiem,undermines the security of our) cause.We must not be divided and disstract-| ed among ourselves.Our rulers have great responsibilities;they need the support of the whole country ;and nothing short of a patriot- iam which buries all private differences,which | is ready for compromises and concessions, which make charitable allowances for differ.| |pational choracter. ee ee NUMBER 72. encesofopinion,and even for erroreof judg- meat,can save us from the cunsequences ofpartyendfaction.We must be uniied.Hf: our views are oot esrriedout,Jet unsacrifice’ private opioion w public safety,Ia the great!: couffict with Persia,Athens yielded to Sparta, and sequiesced in plansshe eould not spprove.. forthe euke of the public good.Nothmg doald . be more dangerous now than scrambles for’ offee and pbwer,and collisioné:among.the dif- ferent depactmentsof the Government.-Weinuetpresenteunitedfront‘It iefartherimporantthat evesy man shouldbereadytowork.:lt.is so time te pley the } gentleman;ov time for dignified leisure.Ai} canact-serve in the field ;but ull'can duseme-:thing to help forward:the common cause.‘The : youngend the active,the stout and vizorous, shoeld be:prepared ut a moment's warning for theranke..Fhe dispisition ehould be one of:ecagetness to be employed 3 there chuuld be ne. holding'back,no counting the cust.The mun who stepds back from the ranks im theee peril-. ous times,because he is unwilling to serve hig:.

THE WAR—THE YANKEE RACE. {t is a carrent misappreusion,in our opinion, that slavery conm'tutes the sole cuuse of the We do nut believe that the North aud South could ever permanently agree,though war. there were not aslave from the Arusteok to the Sabine.The dismemberment of the Union would have been certain in any contingency. It is Crus that the persistent effurts of North- ern fanatics and ubulition e:oisearies to steal Southern slave property,to foment insurrec- tion,to abuse Southern gentlemen ae villains, and ruffians,aud to promote every possible spe- cies of legislation adverse to Southern interests and institutions,have tended powerfully to bring about the separation now consammated5 but there exists certain radical and irreconcila- ble differences of aationable character,which, ander all conceivable circumstances,would keep the two apart—The New Orleans Bee very forcibly illustrates the,difference between the North and South in the following brief aud sketchy comparison :—[Rich.Ex, The North and South are distinet races — There is little analogy and no sympathy be- ¢ween them.The Yaakee isof Puritan origin, andit is of the very essence of the Puritan to be in extremes.Give him power,and he be- comes an inexorable despot.Govern him with ce sway,and he becomes a pliant and submissive slave.He ts by nature at ouce cru- el and iutolecant,aud,therefure,be never can possess authority without abusing it.Hisideas of liberty are the crodest imaginable.He is willing that others shall be free,provided they ¢hiuk and act as fe does.In morals he is half hypocrite,half ascetic;in religion he is inva- riably a bigot.Nevertheless,he runsafter ev- ery novelty,and au tem captivates bim with irresixuble attraction. In all this the Southern man it the antipode of the Yankee.His nature is frank,open, generous,impetuous,honest.De Joves liber- ty with passionate affection,but it must be that genuine liberty which makes wise jaws and cheerfully obeys them.tle does not seek toshacklethethoughtsaadopinionsofothers, leaving them perfectly free,conditioned upon their observance of good order.He ix rarely, if ever,a tyrant,and never submits to usurped and lawless authority.His code of moralitywillcomparefavurablywiththatoftheNorth, while his religiva teaches him to love hie Ma- ker and his fellow-creatures,and to allow oth- ere the privilege uf worshiping God according to the dictates of their conscience.He has a rooted aversion for ull those new-fangled theo- ries by which society #menaced with disor- ganization,aud which set Yankeedom periodieallycrazy. Lying unto God.—The Holy Seriptures re- eord an instance of the divine vengeanceagainstAnanias,because he had “not lied un- to men,but unto God.”Ananias “fell down,and gave wp the ghost.” We may aot,in these latter daye,took torsachdirectmanifestationsofthejudgmentsof God ;but surely the sia of Lincoln,in appoint- tug thanksgiving in uke Northera churches for the alleged Northera v.ctory”at Shiloh,is of a piece with that of Ananias.ITtis lying un- tw God"—making His charch the instrament of a foul deception apen the people of the NorthandofEurope.We tave faith that the sin willinsemewaybevisiledaponthewretchwhothusprofanesthetempleufGod.—Fay.Ob.

Yet what a reminiscence is suggested with the name of Chalmette!It is the field of Jackson’s great victory.The large batteries of the Confederacy extend over the identical ground that was soaked with the blood of Wettineror’s veteran troops.Jackson had there no heavy seige guns,vo carefully prepared lines,00 broad batteries.He had only the hasty earthworks which he could throw up while the enemy was preparing toadvance.Be- hind them were a few raw volunteers withhuntinggunsundbuekrifles.The army that attacked bim was equal to his owu in numbers,and in quality the best on which the sun ever shoue.They came in parade dress,with “Beauty and Booty”for their parole and countersign,certain of march-ing through the streets of the famed capi- tal tbat evening.The result need not be recalled to any mind.It was different from that event which now weighs like lead on the heart. Have the Southern peopie,then degen- erated?Ave the sons of the sires who were able to vanquish the flower of the British army unfit to defend New Orleans against a Yankee invader?We cannot think so;and the contrasting events,do not prove the degeneracy.For there was one rematkable ditference in the cases,— When the British were cut to pieces be- fore New Orleans,Jackson was there;and when it fell,without resistance,befure the Northern gunboats,the commander was not Jackson. As little is known of Major-General |Lovece as of the event in connection with which his name will now go down to pos- terity.Indeed,all public information concerning him is contained in a_letter signed by Brigadier-General W.Hy 7. Wacker,dated the 27th of October,and addressed to Mr.Bengamin,then Seereta ry of War.In this letter General Wat KER resigned a commission which,he said, the selfrespect of a gentleman and the prida ofa soldier could not permit him to retain.Le gave this farther explanation : that he had been wounded and brevetted oftener than any other officer in the old service;that be bad been the first officer .SALISBURY,N.©.,MAY 5,1962.

Official dispatches were received at the War Department,from General Lovell,yesterday, announcing the capture by the enemy of New Orleans The dispatches are cuted the 26th instant, from Cump Moore,which is about eighteen miles from New Orleans,on the railroad to Jackson,where Generul Lovell has fallen backwithhisforces. The dispatches state that the enemy’s fleethadappearedintheharborofNewOrleans, and had demanded the surrender of the city. General Lovell telegraphs thut he refused to make the surrender,It appears,however,thathehadnoheeitutioninevacuatingthecity. It ts not’known what amount of force Gen-eral Lovell had.The most considerable por- tion of his farces was composed of ‘*Home Guard”troops,and itis considered doubtful whether he drew off with him more than five thotsand troopsGeneralLovell telegraphs that,béfore fall-ing back froin the’eity,he destroyed the cot- too in the warebduses und a large ammount ofpublicstores. The iron-clad steamer Mississippi was de- stroyed.It is supposed that she was etill on the stocks,as a disputeh wus received here by the.governmentbutrecentlystating that an at- tempt to launch her had failed,on account of the ground having been sunk beneath her stays.The Mississippi was an jron-ciad frigate,a superior vessel of her class,and accounted tobebyfarthemostimportantnavalstructure we had yet undertaken. Nothingis said in General Lovell’s dispatch of the fute of the Louisiana,and there is a strong supposition that she was sunk by the enemy’s fleet. Thus hus fallen the largest exporting cityin thé world,the commercial metropolis of theSedth,containing ‘a population of ove hundred and seventy thotisund souls. It is pot Known what direction General Lov- ell will take.On,the supposition that he willjoinGeneralBeeuregardatCorinth,it is eal- culated that an immediate ection will occur there,or thet an attempt will be made there at onee to:move the’foreea under Bennregardeastwasd.‘The situationis suid to admit of no other altérnative.

The little hands were soiled with play, (The ruffed hair was tost,) And earnestly he clasped them both; The little feet were crossed; And with an earnest trusting air, Sure of the boon he sought, He lifted his dark eyes to hers, With deep attention fraught. “What,Pleasy,shall I talk about, Of Angels up on high ?” “No mother,of a Christian boy, And one who did not dte.” She told him of a little boy So brave,so good,8o true, So loving to his mother too;— No bigger dear than you. “He watched his heart and daily ways; He could not tell a le; Kindness to every thing he showed, He would not hurt a fly. “He loved to say his little prayer To Jesus in the sky ; He grew to be a good,wise,man; This good boy did not dte. ******* Earnest the little face had grown, And closer now he stood ;— “Mother,I'll always say my prayers, And God will make me good.” LAURA L.

Let it be remembered,that if we are subjugated it will be by the speculators in our midst,and not by Lincoln. Let it be remembered,that our farmers can do more to conquer these than all our soldiers in the field. Let it be remembered,that the way to conquer the speculating miscreants is for the farmers to raise large provision crops of all kinds. wt ape Let it be remembered,that the worst| misfortune that gan befall any people is a dearth of provisions. Let it be retuembered,that any people who have enough to eat and wear are ob- liged to be prosperous and cannot be con- quered, Let it be remembered,that if you wish to grow rich you mustfill your corn cribs and graneries now,and be prepared to raise large crops of cotton when the blockade Is raised., Let it be remembered,that it is your duty to raise provisions for yourselves and a surplus for the soldiers who are fighting your battles:for you. Let it be remembered,that if you do not raise large provision crops you are helping Liucolu and the speculaiors to fasten tbe yoke of bondage upon your wives and children. Let it be remembered,that you owe it as a solemn duty to God and your country —to your wives and children—to religion and liberty—-to raise very large crops of provisions. We are in receipt of a communicationfromthecampoftheScotlandNeckMoun- ted Rifles,which gives some further ac- count of the fall of Fort Macon,stated in yesterday’s Journal.Our correspondent says that the enemy’s own account of their loss is some four hundred and fifty.This in-formation of course our correspondent re- ceived from what appeared to be good au- thority,but we cannot find that the parol- ed officers who arrived here have received any account of the killed or wounded of theenemy.Although the arrival of many- of the prisoners here has anticipated our correspondeot’s letter,we grateful for bis attention.We give the following postscript relating to another matter which may interest:our readers,— We trust our friend “B.”will continue his ! favours : P.S.—It may oot be amiss to give you an account of the escape of a *Union” man named David Scott,who was visited a few nights since by two of Captain New- kirk’s men,who happened to have on blue overcoats,and were consequently taken tor Yankees by Scott.The men humour: ed the joke,and soon found Scott to be a real traitor,They asked him all about the number and position of the “rebles.” His information was found to be very cor- rect.Scott told the men he had been looking for them some time,and would take pleasure in piloting them wherever they wished*to go,but charged them par- ticularly to secure the services of a certain negro,whom they afterwards did secure. The men unfortunately made an ap- pointment to meet Scott next morning, Gostead of making sure of him then)but be woudn't wait for them.When they went to the place previously appointed, they,saw Scott well o%in a sail boat,go- ing to the vessel outside. Whenever anything of importance takes place up here,Twill take pleasure in giv- ing you the fucts as they occur. Respectfully yours,B. A Hint to our Farmers.—Tomatoes should be planted in large quantities for the use of the camps.Those acquainted with the re- markable medicinal propertiesof this delight- tul vegetable will most heartily eadorse the suggestion.Let our plantérs and gardners raise them in such abundance this seagen that, besides the home demand,sufficient shall be in hand to supply the armies.It is believed that to issue them to the army next summeraspartoftherationswillpreventmanycasesoffever,dysentery,and diarrbtea. ——=:2“WEEKLY:| SALISBURY,N.C:MAY 12,1862. Satt.—There is reason to fear that theworstevilsofthecriminalneglectbywhichRoanokeIslandwassufferedtofallintothehandsoftheenemy,are yet to be developed.The State is almost bare of sult,and there is but a amall spave along the coast in which it can’be made.It is a rev ‘markable fact,tested by actual experienceoftheStateSalt.Commissioner,that in Currituck,a bushel of salt was made from:60galions of water,whilst at both the other points resorted to since the Commis sioner was driven from Currituck bv thefullofRoanokeIsland,it requires 300 gal- lons of watet to make a bushel of salt.— Run this fact out in its various ramitica-tions of labor,fuel,machinery and tithe,and it is not easy to estimate the extent oftheevil,It may be,and we fear it will be,that the necessary quantity of that indis- pensable article cannot now be made,and if xo,that cattle wiil die,and human be- ings be subjected to the severest evils.Ail for the want of proper foresight in defend- ing Roanoke Island, We mention this now,not for the pur- pose of useless complaining,but to draw attention to the necessity of protecting,at all hazards,the State Salt Works where now located,and which are getting fairly under way,supplying some salt,and pre- Aparing to supply a great deal.—Fay.Ob.

THE SISTER’S LESSON. “Kitty Sumers,do get down !—You're always fussing about noth-ing!What are you after now ?” “Only trying to hang my bonnetup,”said Kitty,timidly,taking her seat by the speaker,who was hersisterHelen. “Now,see if you cau’t be quietuntilwegetthrough!” Helen had spoken in a low voice;but Mrs.Callen beard every werd.She went on with the lessor,howev-er,without seeming to take any no- tice.School was soon over,books put away,and bonnets tiedon.As the children were leaving,Mrs.Cal-len said,gently,“Helen Somers,1wishyouwouldletKittygohome with one of the other girls.IL want you to stay and have a tittle talkwithme.”Helen opened her eyes in some surprise,but only answered,*Very well,ma’am!”and,turning to Kit- ty,said,“You must go with Rose.— And mind youdon’t get your clothestornormuddied;for if you do you'll have to take the blame yourselfwhenyougethome.” Poor Kitty hung her head,and,holding Rosa’s hand,walked sober- ly away. When they had «)‘gone,Mrs. Callen said,‘Now,Helen,I wi!!getmywork,and we’ll go oat wnder the ; trees,where Willie can play on thegrasswhilewetalk.”The rough log school-honse stood in the midst of a beautiful grove5 and they soon found a pleasant seatunderaspreadingbeech.Willie was placed on the grass,with stonesandacornsforplaythings,and Mrs. Callen,taking up her sewing,com- menced the conversation by asking Helen how many brothers and‘sis- ters she had.“Only Kitty,”said,Helen.We had a brother once,but he diedwhilebewasababy.” “Do you know any girl who is auonlydaughter,Helen !” “Yes,ma’am.Rose Arthess hasnobrothersorsisters.” “Does she ever wish them ?” “Ob,yes!

THE INFIDEL AND HIS DAUGHTER. [Suggested by reading a newepaper pa- ragrapb describing the scene between the brave old Ksban Allen and his:daughter, on the ewe of her death,when she asked the stern infidei in whose faith he would have her die—his or her mother’s.] “The damps of death are coming fast, My father,o'erghy brow; The past with all its scenes has fled, And I must turo me nowTothatdimfuture,which in vain, My feeble eyes descry; Tell me,my father,in this hour, In whose stern faith to die? “Tn thine?I’ve watched the scornful smile, And heard the withering tone, Whene’er the christian’s humble hope Was placed above thine own;. I've heard thee speak of coming death Without a shade of gloom, And laugh at alf the childish fears That cluster round the tomb. Or is it in my mother’s faith? _How fondly doI trace, Through many a weary year long past, That calm and saintly face! How often do I call to mint, Now she is ‘neath the sod. The plaee,the hour,in which she drew My early thoughts to God! ‘Twas then she took this sacred book, And from its burning page Read how its truths support the soul In youth and failing age; And bid ‘me in its precepts live, And by its,precepts die, That I might'¢hare a homeof love In world’s beyond the sky. My father,shall I look above, Amid this gathering gloom, To him whose promises of love Extend beyond the tomb? Or cursé the Being who hath blessed This checkered path of mine, And promises eternal rest, Or die,my sire,in thine ?” The frown upon that wartior brow Passed like a cloud away, And tears coursed down the rugged cheek, That flowed not till that day, “Not,notin mine,”with choking voice The skeptic made reply ;- “But in thy Motuer’s holy faith, My daughter,mayest thou die.” HEAVEN. Thrice happy world,where gilded toys No more disturb our thoughts,no more pol- lute oar joys; Theré light or shade succeed no more by turns, There reigns the eternal sun an unclouded ray, There all is calm as night yet all immortal day, And truth forever shines,and love forever burns. 1 know some little girls that are pre— serving these pieces in the Children’s Col- umn.“They cut them out and paste them in a scrap-book.I’m sure that it will be pleasant to you tosee some,at least,of the articles again.Will you not keep them# Head Quarters 76th 'Reg’t.V.Ca.

So he has won a victory which will be of no use,except to exhaust his means and his men;and the latter will be slow to go willingly to meet an enemy which scorns even iron clad gun boats. If every inch of the coast were given up, nothing wouldbe accomplished for the sup- pression of the rebellion.Only the cost ofholdingwhatisofaorealvaluetohispur-pose would be acquired by the enemy. And,therefore,we are not the Jeast de-pressed by the fall of New Orleans.It is only temporarily in possession of the Lin-coln Government.If the devils who have it will not act like barbarians,then all willbewellbeforelong. The trouble with us in respect to these advances of the enemy is in relation tofood.A deficiency of that is now causing some apprehension;but we suspect without warrant of reason.There seems to be abundance when needed.If people are ready tu pay the price,it can be got in any quantity.Besides,we bave the season at hand that will furnish us with what will add greatly to the supply.In this State alone there is meat enough to hold us ayear,if the tight grasp of selfishness do nothideitfromus.How little meat a mancansubsistuponiswonderful.The bisto-ry of the past is full of instances of what men and wotnen have been content withforloveofcountry.

These gentlemen say that,since the evacua- tion of Norfolk,the course which hasbeen parsued,though a painful one was an 1m- perative necessity.Iu proof of this asser- tion we have many reasons,but we have only space to enumerate a few.; It is stated that there are but two rivers in the Confederate States which can ac- commodate a vessel drawing as much wa- ter as did the Merrimac.When she last left the Navy Yard,her draft was 22feet. Upon going down Thursday,and driving off the bombarding fleet from Sewell’s Point,she lav to under the guns of Craney Island,that she might protect the evacua- tion of both the Island and the Point.— Early Friday morning,the iron-clad vessels Monitor and Gulena,moved up in the di- rection of Newport’s News,and lay off at adistance of two miles in shoal water.— The guns of the Merrimac were very pow- erful,but of short range,and it was outof the question to think of engaging theFed- eral vessels unless they would come into deep water.All day Friday these vessels maintained their position,and Saturday morning,the Roads was filled with naval vessels of various descriptions.The guns at Craney Island and Seweil’s Point bad been dismounted,and the Merrimac was compelled to kecp close by,to proteet the retreat of our troops from those potnts.— Saturday afternoon the troops all got off from Craney Island,those at Sewell’s Point having left in the morning. A council was now held among the offi. cers,and it was determined to try and get into James River,but upon consultation with the pilots,the commander was assur- ed that the vessel could not be ran in James River,unless her draft was reduced to 18 feet.This fact was announced to the crew, who received the information with loud cheers,and went to work with great in- dustry,throwing out coal,ballast,etc.,to lighten the vessel.By midnight,she was lightened to the required draft,but here new difficulties interposed.She had come up so high as to expose her bull,thus ren- defing ber as vulnerable as any wooden vessel,and the pilots came to the conclu- sion,that even with only 18 feet,at the present low stage of the water in James River,caused by the strong westerly winds, they could not carry ber any distance be- yond Newport’s News. To thick of giving battle in the now exposed condition was out of the question, and to remain in her then condition ren- dered her capture only a matter of time. It was then determined to destroy her,and steps were immediately taken to consum- mate the deed.Her roof,already covered with tallow and other fatty matter,was saturated with oil,and her decks also re- ceived a copious supply of the same mate- rial.Her crew,numbering 350,were then safeiy disembarked in small boats,and ten men detailed to apply the torch.This was accomplished by laying small trains of powder from each port to various partsof the ship,which upon being ignited,spee- dily enveloped the noble vessel in a sheet of flame.The waters were brilliantly il- Juminated for miles,but not a boat’s crew from any of the Federal vessels dared ap- proach the burning mass to extingnish the fire and secure the prize.She continued to burn until 4 o'clock,when the fire reach- ed her magazine and caused an explosion which shook the earth at Suffulk,32 miles distant,and sent her enormous guns and pine hundred tons of iron plating flying in the air to a height of three or four hun- dred feet. The plates,heated to a cherry red,we are told,presented an awful but magnif- gent sight,A moment or two more,the flying fragments fell into the water,and all that remained of the most formidable war vessel ever constructed,was her charr- ed and burning hull.We can well ima- gine the fiendish delight with which our enemies chuckled over this annibilation of what had been to them a “rod of terror,” since the 6th of March last,and bow soundly Gen.Wool must have slept for the first time since the terrible havoc of that memorable day. Her destruction has caused many a beart to throb with painful anxiety for their fate, but if she could not have been made use- ful fur the purpose desired,then it was far better she should have beén burnt a thou- sand times than to have fallen into the hands of theenemy.Let us now go zeal- ously to work and fill our rivers with such obstructions that the Yankee gunboats cand.possibly reach the cities lying on their bauks.—Petersburg Express.

Here,as in Portsmouth,tbe cotton,etc., was all burnt.It is stated by an huudred or tore persons that a man in Norfolk,a well known dealer iv West India fruit,be- fore the blockade,was hung by order of! the military authorities for his outspoken sympathy with the Lincoln canse,and that a man recently empoyed in the Navy Yard named Mahone was shot through the head for a similar offence.The proprietor of the Day Book,Mr. Hathaway,has determined to remain in Norfolk and publish the Day Book,if the Linculo authorities will permit.He will now be enabled to procure the late North- ern news without troublee—/Pet.Hzpress. THE SITUATION. The evacuation of Yorktown and Nor- folk opens a new act of the drama in Eas- tera Virginia.About the wisdom of the first of the above movements,we never had the slightest doubt.It was one of those masterly stragetic operations which show the genius of a commander.If we sustained some loss in heavy guns and in the cost of the fortifications,it is trifling compared with the immense advantages which have been gained by it.We now compel the enemy to fight in open field,or rather in a more open field than we could have gotten him in before,and this is a great point—tor if we can get atolerable chance at him,without the range of his gunbouts,we have no fears of the result. It is possible that the evacuation of Nor- folk and the destruction of the Merrimac, the wisdom of which measures we are un- der the painful necessity of doubting,un- til we are better enlightened on the subject than we now are,may change the present Peninsular programme of McClellan,andthusleadthenewmovesonthemilitary chess-board.The last tidings we had of McClellan’s forces,were,that they were almost in front of Johnston,near the Chick- abominy,and that a battle was imminent every hour.It is unfortunate for us that they are still within reach of their ship- ping,and that therefore,if we win the vics tory,it cannot be consummated by the captureof their whole army and everything belonging to it.It would be another Shi- loh affair—“scotching,not killing”the snake.But even this would be an im- mense gain to our side.It would effectu-ally block the ‘on to Richmond’by land and cool down the fiery letter writere from the Peninsula to the Lincoln war journals. It would effectually clip the wings of these empyrean soarera,and thus render them less ridiculous in their hyperboles and rho- domantades.—Petersburg Hxpress. The Despot’s Rule.—We understand that Gen.Wool sent a flag of truce into Norfolk Saturday morning,informing the citizens that they would be allowed 48 hours tu take the oath of allegiance to the Lincoln Government.In the event of re—- fusal,they were cvolly informed that they would be treated as prisoners of war.We have not heard the reply of the Mayor of that‘gallant city,whose people have been turned over to the tender mercies of Abe Lincoln.It is thus the tyrant conciliates an unprotected people.—Pet.Hzpress.

The French Consul went on board the steamer Milan,and had not returned on Sunday morning.It is said the guard has been removed from the offices of the Freuci and Spanish Consals.He has also seized the Canal Bank and Sam.Smith’s Banking House.He has issued an inflammatory proclamation to incite the poor against the rich,and promised to distribute among the poor a thousanc barrels of beef and sugar captured in New Orleans.He is recuruit- ing in New Orleans,and the poor will soon be starving.The enemy have sent a force up to Bonnet Grove,and inarched through the swamp and destroyed the railroad. GUERRILLAS AT WORK. We learn from the Richmond Hzramin- er of the 16th inst.,that Our guerrilla bands in Northwestern Virginia have been doing good work.—- They made,a few day since,a descent on Summerville,the county seat of Nicholas |county,drove out the Yankees,taking a number of prisoners and capturing their baggage and stores, They then surrounded the town of Sut tonsville,the county seat of Braxton coun- ty.The yankees sent out a flag of truce aud surrendered unconditionally.The guerrillas took 142 prisoners and all their stores and baggaye. Our men then followed up and took the enemy’s stronghold on Cheat Mountain, capturing a number of prisoners,together with all the baggage,and put the remain- der of the Federal force to flight.These latter were met by Milroy’s Federal army, who,followed by Jackson,were on their way to Cheat Mountain,and reported that locality to be oceupied by ten thovsand Milroy thereupon stopped, and was attacked by General Jackson,who captured all bis ftrains and artillery and routed his whole force.

A Difference.—The whole world knows of and will never.forget,the conduct oftheyankeeregimentswhichlefttheMan-assas battle field on the morning of the battle,and after the battle had cominenc- ed,because their three months’term ofserviceexpiredonthatday.The 4th Mis- sissippi regiment acted very differently at Shiloh.Their term of service expiredsomedaysbeforethebattle,but they ex- pected it,and staid to take their part in it,vice they did most gloriously.—Fay. s, er they are or are not naturalized.If this country is their domicil,they may lawfully be required to do military duty. The reported landing of Yankee forees at Swanboro’,ic Onslow county,turns out to have been a less important matter than had been supposed.The report probably originated in the landing of a small party from a boat or boats,who however did not remain long,but no doubt returned to the vessel from which they came.—Wil.Jour. The evacuation of Norfolk became sim- ply a matter of time,after its chief supplies were cut off by the occupation of Ea.tero North Carolina.The fall of Roanoke Isl- and,which need not have fallen,cost the Confederacy uncounted millions,and un— told numbers of men.After the back door was opened by thesacrificeofRoanokeIsland,nothing sbort of a terrible and decisive overthrow of the Federal army of the Potomac could have relieved Norfolk of the coil which was gradually tightening around ber.Thus it is that mismanagement and obstinacy bear fruits lony after their immediate memory has passed away.In the loss of the Mer- rimag,in the sacrifice of millions of pro— petty at Norfolk and Portsmouth,we are reaping the fruits of Mr.Secretary Benja- min’s conduct in regard to Roanoke.—/0, Messrs.Editors:—Wilmington bas not yet been attacked by the enemy —but is there not offered a strong temptation for him to attack us?Have we not piled up on our wharves at least 100,000 barrels of rosin?This rosin,in New York market, would bring near one half million of dol- lars.—Wil.Journal.

WHO LOVES MOTHER BEST? A STORY FOR LITTLE BOYS. BY IDA. “TI do,”cried a merry little urchin, climbing to his mother’s lap,and, with&light hog,kissing her again again.“I love you best.” “Do you Willie?Are you sure?” “Oh yes,I love you a hundred million of dollars,and I think you are the best mother in the world.” *Bless me,what a heap of love; well,don’t smother me please.And how much do you love me,Char- lie?” Charlie was seated on the carpet, busily building a house of blocks; he looked up a moment from his play and answered,“Oh,I love you ever so much.” “Not as much as I do,does he mother?”said Willie. “T hope so,though he don’t say so much about it,said bis moth. er,siniling.” “Hurrah!see what a house I’ve made,”shouted Charlie,jumping from the carpet and dancing around his blocks.“Look mother!look Willie!how high it is.”Charlie forgot his love for everybody then, in his success as a builder. “Very nice indeed,quite grand,” said his mother,putting Willie fromherlap. “But now boys,I am going to beverybusy,and I want yon to playasquietlyasyoucan.I have alet- ter to write,and I don’t wish you to disturb me.” They promise to be very good,and their mother sat down to her writing table;but in a little while Willie began to ask questions. “Mother,are these blocks all mine,or all Charlie’s?” “They belong to you both;”saidhismother. ‘“*May’nt I have all the big ones,and give him the little ones ?” “Certainly not;play with them together.” “But please let me have the big ones.” “Be quiet Willie.” Bat Willie persisted,he asked question after question,quarrelled with Charlie for the largest blocks, kicked them about the floor and be- came so noisy and troublesome that at length his mother laid down her pen and called him to her side. “Willie,”said she,“two little boys were playing here just now,and one of them pretended to love his moth- er very mach,a hundred million of dollars,I believe;but when she ask- ed him to be quiet that she might write a letter,he forgot all his great love,and was noisy and disobedient. The other little boy did not say so much at first,but he remeinbered his mother’s wishes,and tried to play quietly as she had asked him to do, and now I want you to tell me which of these two boys loved his mother best ?” Willie hung down his head,and was ashamed to answer,but he knew very well that Charlie had shown the love which he had talked about. Then his mother taught him the text,—“If ye love me keep my com- mandments.” (3They that seek the salvationoftheirsouls,in the morning of life,have the promise of God that theyshallnotbeturnedaway. Yankee Strictures on the Batsle of Corinth. The Yankees are not altogether satisfiedwiththebattleofCorinth,although they claim it,as it is koown,asa ‘great victory.They“mismanagement”and “tremendouserrors”ontheirleaders.TheLouisville Jour- nal,in some rather plain strictures,says: It is evident from the accounts on bothsidesthatthefirstday's battle went in favor of the Confederates!The fortunate coming up of General Buell at the first day's closesavedusfrom«@ terrible defeat and gave us a victory.We cannot,with the lights before us,es- cape the conviction,there was great and in-excusable mismanageinent—a mismanage- ment that was exceeding injurious to us,andcamenearbeingfatal.That Baauregard wasatCorinthwithaforceofnearlyahundred thousand men was notorious throughout thewholelengthandbreadthofourcountry.— The fact could hardly have been better knownifhisarmyhadmarchedfromNewOrleans to Boston.The question then suggests itself to everymind,why it was that General Grant was several days on the southwestern bank of the Tennessee in command of thirty-five thous-and men,within immediate striking distanceofBeauregard,and unsupported by Buell.—We suppose there wasn’t a single man of or- dinary intelligence in the nation to whom it didn’t occur that Beauregard would attack Grant before Buell should comeup.This was the manifest,the self-evident policy of the re- bel general,and he would have been a fool not to adopt it.We cannot understand why one of our armies crossed the river before be-ing joined by the other. If Beauregard had attacked Grant two days before he did,as he endeavored to do,and ashewaspreventedfromdoingonlybytherain, he would probably have captured the wholearmyandeverythingbelongingtoit;and as the case was,Grant’s command lost as pris-oners three or four thousand men who wereallowedtobesurprised,had several thousand killed and wounded,and would have been annihilated,to the deep grief and horror of the whole nation,but for the utmost super- human endurance of most of his troops andthetimelyappearanceofBuell,whose arriv- al might have been delayed by any one of athousandnotimprobableaccidentstillhisar- rival could be of no avail. It seers to us that the responsibility of tre- mendous errors lies somewhere—a responsi- bility which should not be overlooked. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commer- cial writes of the battle of Shiloh: In one thing all are agreed—that the sur-prise by Beauregard was a piece of general- ship,conducted on his part with the greatest skill. Our men,he writes,were not as well pre- pared as they should have been—that is thelightestcriticismthatcanbeappliedinthe premises.The seventieth,seventy-first,for- ty-eighth and fifty-fourth Ohio regiments, which should have slept on their arms on Sat- urday night (having the advance)were so un- prepared that many of the men were shotdownbeforetheyhadanopportunitytoleave their tents.The surprise was so completethattheseregimentsretreatedfromtheircampwithoutmakinganyresistance,although they rallied subsequently and fought during the day. The same correspondent says that General Johnston’s army was composed of the floweroftheSouth—“men well uniformed,armed, and equipped,”and that they showed them- selves good soldiers,and fought with desper-ation.” Nitre.—-We have received from Capt. Geo.H.Minor,Chief of the Ordnance and Hydrography,a copy of the reportof F.J. Barnes,of that Bureau,on making nitre. Mr.B.bas ascertained,by frequent experi- ments,tbat all tobacco barns contain more or less nitre.The tobacco planters of Vir- yinia and North Carolina are urged to give to the government all the aid they can in procuring this addition to our supply of nitre.Those disposed to engage in the process of separating the nitre from the earth of their barns,can obtain full printed directions by addressing Capt.Minor. NINE CHEERS FOR KENTUCKY. On Saturday week Gen,Humphry Mar: shall’s camp was made to resound with gladsome shouts and huzzas at the arrival ofa squad of gallant and true Kentuck-ians from Covington and vicinity.They enrolle}themselves as soldiers for the war. They represent that thousands are ready to follow their example should Gen.Mar- shall make another forward movement into Kentucky :No Lincoln troops are in Eas— tern Kentucky except some 800 at Pike-ville.These are there asa blind to pre- vent the forward movement of our troops. The Sun Flower.—The suv flower is highly beneficial in a garden or plantation, in many respects—it absorbs the poisonous masmata which fill the air and cause fe- vers,and thus,as has been proved by nu- tmerous trials,is a preventive of disease in situations where such preventive is peculi- arly requisite. Every farmer and gardener should there- fore make it a point to plant san flower seed in yvreat abundance,both from sanita- ry considerations and by reason of the val- ue of the plant and its seeds to horses,cat- tle,hogs and fowls.—Charleston Courier. A Good Idea.—An ex-ottcer,who lost his position in the army by the late re-or- ganization,proposes,through the Rich- mond Enquirer,that he and all others similarly situated unite and form regiments for immediate service.He says truly that the country needs them,and he is anxious to show the country that they can obey as well as command.It is a noble sugges- tion ;and a regiment of such men,anima- ted by such principles,would be the besttheworldeversaw.—Fay.Obs. Sunday Among the Cherokee Warriors. We mentioned a few days ~go the arriv- al at Knoxvilleof a band of Cherokee War- riors from the mountain region of North Carolina.The Knoxville Register says that,on the Sunday following their arrival, religious service was beld in their camp by Unaguskie,the chaplain of the Cherokee braves,and gives the followingt account of the ceremony ; At the appointed time the battalion formed in double file and marched under an elegant Confederate flag,under com- mand of Major G.W.Morgan.Entering the city,the troops,attired in their new dress,continued the march and entered the church in an orderly manner.It was at once seen that public expectation was so high as to have drawn out a larger crowd than the building could accommodate.— An offer was made by the First Presbyte- rian church,and the meeting adjourned to that large and commodious building.ThepewsontheSouthsideoftheaisleontherightsidewereassignedtoandatonceoc- cupied by the Cherokee braves.The Rev.W.A.Harrison,pastor of the church in- troduced to the audience “our brother Un- aguskie,chaplain of the Cherokee battal- jon,”and the qprvices commenced by reading and sifiging (in the standing nosture)a Lymn in their own dialect. The types resemblea little the Hebrew,but are read from the lett side,as our common language.Prayer followed,the chaplain and his braves all kneeling.Another hymn was sung and the text announced as found in Luke 6th chapter,43d verse.—— The sermon was like the entire service,de- livered in the original Cherokee langaage, but was addressed alike to all his auditors wherever seated or of whatever complex~ jon.A short address to his own people and the usual benediction closed the servi- ces.They were probably two hours long and in every part of them secured the fixed attention of a very large auditory.Every part of the church filled,and yet not a word was understood by any one in front or to the right of the preacher. Unaguskie is the grandson of a Chero- kee chieftain long known as a distinguish- ed warrior of bis tribe,and as the most el- oquent orator of his day.In person,he is about six feet high—-tall,slender and erect, has an excellent voice,graceful and rather emphatic gesticulation,with little of the mnannerism of the modern pulpit.His sermon seemed to be persuasive rather than denunciatory,advisory and parental rather than condemnatory and authoritative.His prayer had the appearance of deep devo- tion and humble earnestness and sincerity. The music of the occasion was characteriz- ed by melody more than harmony—-more primitive and less artistic than what we often hear in religious service.Of his the- ology,of course nothing can be known cer- tainly.Adoration,veneration and suppli- cation could easily be imagined from his manner to be a prominent characteristic of his worship,and his imagery,if he had any, seemed to be drawn from the material ra- ther than the ideal and sentimental.

Our readers will recollect that Captain (now Colonel)John H.Morgan,recentlyperformedsomeofhischaracterleticex- loits at and near Pulaski,Giles ‘county, Freon.What he accomplished there was an incidefit—a chance accident that arose in his own way,and was by na means theobjectwhichbesetouttoaccomplish. When he set out on his expedition from Corinth,"he had come TOUmen ‘along withbim.They were not all fighting men, however,for all their baggage,provender, d&c.,were carried on pack mules instead of by wagons,and those in charge of the mules went along in that capacity only.When they came into Pulaski,it was a complete surprise.They came charging into town,and capturing the stragglingFederalsateverypoint.The son of Gea. Mitchell—a Major in the Federal army— was at a hotel there.He was a prisoner before he knew that any dangcr was nigh. A battalion of infautry was some few miles off on the road towards Huntsville.They were sent fgg in baste to come to the re lief of tbeir brother Federals then ion Mar- gan’s clutches;but Morgan has a way of! knowing things unlike that practised by| avy one else,and soon knew of the ap- proaching Yankees.He divided his forces into three parties,dispatched two of thern | on either side of the road towards Hunts- ville,and one down the road to meet them. Svon they were met,aud simultaneously| the men on either side came up,complete~ly surrounding the Federals,which,when| they perceived,they hoisted a white flag | and surrendered at once.The whole batch | of them had to be turned luose on purvle,|as Morgan had started to go somewhere else than that point,and bad quite a dif.| ferent object in view.The men were op- posed to being paroled,but wanted to re-| main prisoners,60 that they would not|bave to fiylit ayainst us any more.After burning up cars and trains of Federal pro- perty,xud doing such other little tricks as 1s usual for Morgan,he departed on his way.He went out by Lewisburg and Farm-| iogton,in Marshall county,and from thence to Unionville on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,which is perhaps some ten miles above Shelbyville,aod a | few miles above Wartrace.There he cut the telegraph wire,and baving an opera:'4jj he males of this class have enlisted for thetorandabatteryalong,he telegraphed to| the Federal Commander atNashville that|Morgan and his rebel cavalry were advanc- ing on Shelbyville,and to send all the cav-alry they bad to that point.The object |theee the duty which they owe to themselves of this,was to draw the cavalry down this |ard to their country uf coming forward to uid he made tracks ip the other|ia sustaining the moral power uf the State inway,while direction to some point where be has an|important work to perform.This would|no doubt have been successful,but by some|means—mmost likely from some of those whom he paroled at Pulaski,the enemy at Nashville had some clue to his further designs,and were not led astray by this’device,which proved very unfortunate af-terwards.| oa by Versailles and Baglesville.in Wil-| the railroad at Smyrna,some eight miles| above Murfreesboro,and from thence push-ed on to Lebanon,in Wi !on to Lebanon,in Wilson county, just at night. _In all their travels they passed as Un-ion men,belonging to the Lincoln cavalry,| and found no difficulty in doing so,At: Unionville,one old geotleman—a good|southerner by-the way,said,“You need |not tell that tale to me;I've seen you be- fore;you're Morgan's men”—butnoone : believed him,till he was about leaving,| and they saw that he had cut the wires.| At Lebanon next morning he was at- tacked by a very large cavalry force— three times that of his own.He ordered his men to dismount in the streets of thevillageaudpostthemselvesbehindafence and wait,with good aim drawn on the fue| till he should wive the word.Helet them | approach within fifteen steps,when he or- dered hia men to fire.It is told as,by a!geatleman who was in the action,that he | Dever saw as many men “tumbled”at one | fire in his life.Every gun brought down | a Hessian,They turned and fled precipi-| tately.

BY REV.A.L.P.GREEN,D.D. I am happy to say that,sin-cursed and bad as this world is,once in awhilewemeetwithsceneswhichgreatlyrelievethedarkpicture,re-winding us that this earth wae once a paradise—the residence of onemadeintheimageofGod. I saw not long since a counten- ence,and heard a laugh,which onemightmakeapilgrimagetoenjoy.And since I enjvyed the sight ofthatfuceandheardthemusicofthatlaugh,I Lave sought jn vain among the recollections of the past for some-thing equally sweet and heavenly.I have lain down full-length at midnight in deserts wilds,and heardthewindswhisperthroughthepine; beard the low murmaor of waterfalls, aod the chant of the bird over hersleepingbrood.I have gazed upon the stars,that had come out to watch in the silent sky,some barrying along,as bearers of dispatches whichtheirneighborsdidnotunderstand, others taking it more leisurely,whilehereandtherewerethosewhoseem-ed cast off from the community ofworlds,solitary,but sweeping acrosstheloftydome,crowded together inglitteringranks,as though they had assembled in obedience to an orderforagrandreviewofworlds.AndtherewastheNorthStar,perfectlyatrest—a world at anchor !—holdinghisplaceatthecommandofHim “who spake,and it was done.”—And,as I gazed,the meteor was sha-ken loose and set on fire,madlyrushingthroughtheheavens,leavingimitstrackatrainofflaine.But in all this I saw not Lolla’s face,I heardnotLolla’s laugh.Ihave stood upon the monntain peak,with the nations beneath me, and looked above the thoughts of mere men of the world,while wreck-ed and rainless clouds floated by, like driftwood on the stream,andotherssalliedforthfromtheirmoun- tain harbors,Jike men-of-war mena-cing,while reinforcements -hurriedintorankfromeverydirection;till at length the flash in arms and the sound of heavy ordinance—the rollofthe“thunder-drum of heaven”— broke on eye and ear;and the un- bridled winds kept up the martialmusic.I looked again,and all wascalm.The clouds were rifted away,the sun was shining in his strength, and,in the distant vale below,thelocomotivewithitstraindashedheadlongthroughhillandvale,and over running streains;and I havefolloweditwithmyeyetillinthedistancetheyseemedasachainofinsects,borne on by a drefly.Far as the eye could reach,there lay be-fore me the varying scenes of moun-tains and valleys,running streains, towns,villages,farms,and solitary habitations,like a map spread outatmyfeet—as though Nature hadthrownbackherveil,thatshe mightdisplayatonceallherbeauty.HereIhavelingereduntilthedaygrewold,and the burning sun that flam- ed along the sky grew weary,andsanktorestamergthecloudsthatcanopiedthewest;ana still I gazedinraptareuponthevaryinggloryofthesettingsun—the shifting forms and fantastic shapes of the eveningclouds,all gorgeously painted bythesun’s lingering rays:at one ino- ment it seemed a vast fleet,vessel after vessel in full sail;at another,a mighty giant,with the club of Her-cules in his hand.At one time Isawtwochildrenawayinthedir- tance,one leading the other by thehand,and at once recognized themasthe“babes in the woode;”thefextmomentaponderouselephantappearedwithhisunwieldytrunk,aod an African chieftain,spear inhand,sitting on his back.Then rose amighty city,with battlements andtowers;part bad fallen into ruin,the rest was all on fire.At length,far in the distance,which the straining eye could scarcely reach,wasafrail aerial bark,with an angel’s hand up-onthehelm.Such ecenes have held me spell-bound,antil old Night,the emblem of death,laid her dark veilaroundme,and the winds among the rocky heights and ancient cliffs sang the mountain’s lament for thelossofday.But in all this I sawtotLolla’s eyes,I heard not Lolla’s langh. eDiets ©ae oe apa_Lhave taken my stand on the deckoftheoceansteamer,whose prow threw;back the feathery:spray,asshemovedalongwithsuperbmajes- ty,and contemplated the manatersofthedeep,eporting through thewaves.I have looked npon the sea- fow!,standing on trusty wings be-fore the wind—some soaring aloft,as though dispatched for worlde above;others turning to the rightandleftwithgentlecurvesandea- sy grace,and effortless,as thonghtheywerebutwingedthonghts;and still I have looked,until the san passed down tlie western sky to slakehiethiretandbathehisbrowinthemightydeep;while on the clean-swept deck I have seen the young bride,ia conscious innocence andbuoyanthope,lean on the arm ofherearthylord,and as the evening star caine out,the witness of theirplightedvowsandearlylove,when,hand in hand,they moved along flowery walks now far away,and heard the fair bride sing: “The scene is more beantiful,fair to behold, Than if day in its pride had arrayed it;The land-breeze blows mild,and azure-arched skyLookspure as the Spirit that made it.” But,still,the countenance and the laugh of Lolta were not here.I have seen the stonm-cloud pass by when the deluging rain bad ceas-ed,The sturdy oak was no longer bending beneath the strength of theenragedwinds;the sun bad unveil- ed his face in the west,and was looking once more upon the earth,kissing away the excess of tears, though,towards the east,the rain- drops still fell like diamonds,while the bow of promise stood forth in allitsbeanty,an angelic railway con- necting earth and sky.But Lolla’ssmileandLollay’s laugh were uot there.I have walked a midst sweet-scen-ted shrubs,flowering vines,and open- ing flowers;I have looked npon the pure and limpid rill,as it went langh- ing down its channel,while the ba- sy bee drank from the flower nectaraspureasangel’s tears.Grasshop- pers waltzed around me;and butter- flies,attired in silxen robes,with gold and purple trimmings,kept uptheirflirtations.Yet the beanty of Lolla’s face,the music of Lolla’s laugh,were not there.An object often partakes of the circumstances by which it is sur- rounded;yet the surroundings of Lolla was unpretentions.She is not an inhabitant of a proud city,with pebbled streets and granit pave: nents;neither is her dwelling a costly marble pile.She lives inacountryvillage,vot even within hearing of the tramp of the rail-car or the shout of the steam-whistle.— Her dwelling-place is a neat,retiredcottage.The time and the circum- atance in which she made her ap-pearance were not such as you might suppose.It was not a May-day oc casion;neither was she brought forth as the queen of flowers.The tine was a Sabbath afternoon,andtheplaceasickroom.The afflict- ed one was a venerable man whohadpassedhisthreescoreyears,thir- ty ot which he had spent in the vil- lage and neighborhood as a_pliysi- cian;and,being a man of svandhead,pure heart,and large benevo- Jence,he had won the affections of the whole community;and now that he was passing away,one and all were vieing with each other in kind attentions and tokens of regard.Such was Dr.Edwards. He occupied a rvom in the honse of his son in-law,the Rev.Mr.C.,the honored father of Lolla.Thewriter,together with a number of the Doctor’s old friends,had come to his room at his instance,as he wished once wore,before he should yo home,to partake of the broken beady and shed blood of the blessed Savior.The Rev.Mr.G.,a weep- ing prophet,Mr.M.,his pastor,Mr. N.,his class-leader,and Aunt Casy, the guardian angel of the village,|with numbers of others,were pres- |ent.The services were attended to}according to the impressive form laid down in the Book of Discipline. An infant sister of Lolla was dedica-ted to God in holy baptism,and thetev.Mr,G.,was called apon to of- ter up the closing prayer.The Doc- tor’s wife and daughter,Mrs.C., were invited forward to partake oftheholyeucharistwithhim.Whenthelastprayerwasclosed,Brother N.,the class-leader,commetmced singing the bymn, “On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,” with the chorus, :a we ast IDOe.Grae 7 Tay A epee Rede“Heaven,sweet heaven,home of the blest,How Ilong to be there ;initsglory toshare,And lean on my Saviout's breast }" During the singing of this hymn, the persons present,already greatly excited,seemed to be almost over-whelined with floods of glory.And here |introduce Lola,achildofsevenyears,petfect in formnaturallyexquisitelybeantiful,with fair skin,blue eyes,light bair,gen-tly thrown back,and resting on her ears,perfectly gracefal in manner,and in step almost as light and tim- id asa bird.She was neatly drese-ed and scrupulously clean.Her mind is naturaily good,and well im-proved for one of ber years.She has also enjoyed the advantages of Sunday-school inatructions;and she is 80 familiar with the ministers,and loves them so much,that she regards them as relations,and calls thei Uncle.While the hymn referredtowasbeingsung,Lolla’s mother threw herself into the bosom of her father,and talked of the meeting offriendsinheaven.Tears fell like rain from every eye,and severalshoutedforjoy.This was the time when and this the place where Lol-la appeared.She had moved up to where I sat,not far from her grand-pa’s bed,shoutingfor joy ;and,lean-ing against me,arrested my atten-tion by gently shaking my elbow; and when I looked aronnd,there she stood,not trembling with fear,butperfectlyself-posseseed.She wasweeping,but not with feelings of mingled awe and dread,but weeping as angele weep,if angels weep at all;and now,when an extraordina- ry burst of haly joy came up,she shook my arm again,and,iooking ine in the face,her whole connten- ance beaming with delight,her eyes sparkling with supernatural joy,shelaughedthemostmusical,heavenly langh that ever fell upon my ear.— It was perfectly electric,and thrilled along my nerves as though a hand by accident had struck an angel’sharp.She seemed anxious that my attention shonld be continually di rected to where the greatest signs of joy were apparent ;and every tine [caught her eye,she favored me with that transcendently gloriouslangh.OJ had I then only been blest with gifted sight,I would pro- bably have seen her angel shower-ing light and kisses on her cheek. But the service closed,and the friends slowly retired.Atter were gone save the family,with lit- tle Lolla sitting on my knee,I said to her:“Lolla,how did you feel duringtheservices,a while ago?” “Uncle,”she answered,“I wasvery,very happy.”“Were you ever happy in that way before,Lolla?”“(©yes,”she replied,“many a time.”“{low long,”said I,“since youwerefirethappy,and how did you happen to get happy the first time ?” ‘It was more than a year ago.— I went one day with Pa to class.mee-ting,and Uncle G.,was telling them all how they might get happy.I thought I would try it,and did so, and yot happy directly.”“And what did Uncle G.,tell you to do?said I. *He told all who wanted to be happy,just to go by themselves,and get on their knees,and pray to God ’ me happy;and I got so happy di- rectly,thatI hardly knew mle to do.And I have prayed to God andgothappythesamewayagreatma-ny times since.” I then asked her if she had beenprayingtoGodtomakeherhappy that day.She said she prayed eve- ry day,bat did not expect to gethappythatday;that the Lord had made her happy that time without her looking for it. A few moments before the close of this conversation,her father came into the room;and,after Lolla bad retired,gave me much the same ac-count of the conversation,remarking that it was characterized by every mark of genuine regeneration,and that he had no doubt that she wastrulypions;that she attended to allherChristiandatieswithgreatreg-ularity and spirit.O that all parents would take the same care to impress the minds oftheirchildrenwithheavenlythings!Then there would be more Lollas in the world. It was troly interesting to con- verse With this child.She regards all| ert TPE NES preety SEIN of the family,and talke ‘of going to heaven as of the dearest wish of her life.I think ]never before saw so ure a specimen of humanity ae is ae The seeds of sin were never perinitted to grow,but were crushed out by grace before they sprouted. At presevt,she seems almost un- earth!y ;and I trast I never shall for- get the countenance and laugh of Lolla.

FeLtow Citizens :—The perilous con- dition of our country demands that we should reason together, Party organiza- tions, restricted within proper limits, is a positive good and indecd essential to the preservation to public liberty. Without it the best governments would soon degenerate into the worst of tyranies. In despotisms the chief use uf the power is in crushing out party opposition.

There must and will be an opposttion. | The public safety and good demand it.— | Shall it he ws new organization or an old | one? The democratic party was founded more than sixty years ago.

Within the last tem: months it has held State conventions and tominated full demoeratie tickets in every | State in the Union. Of no other party | opposed to the Republicans can the same be said. SHALL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BE NOW DISBANDED ? Why should it? Are its ancient prin- ciples wrong? Why are they? Let its platforins for thirty years speak : “ Resolocd, Vhat the American Democ- racy place their trust in the intelligence, the patriotisin, and the discriminating jus- tice of the American people. “That we regard this as a distinctive feature in our political creed, which we are proud to maintain before the world, as the great moral element in a form of govern- creed and practice of Federalism, under palsy the will of the constituents, and which conceives nu im posture too monstrous for the public credulity. “That the Federal government is one of limited power, derived solely from the con- stitution; and the grants of power made therein ought to be strictly construed by ernment; and that itis expedient and dan- gerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers.” And as explauatory of these the follow- Ing from Mr. Jefferson's inaugural : “The support of the State yovernments in all their nghts as the most complete ad- ministration of our domestic concerns avd the surest bulwarks against anti-republi- can tendencies. “The preservation of general govern- Ment io tts whole constitutional vigor, as safety abroad. “A jealous care of the right of election by the people. “The supremacy of the civil over the military authority, F “Economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened, “The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the publhie faith, “Freedom of rehgion, freedom of the press, and freedom of persops under pro- tection of the habeas corpus, and trial by Junies impartially selected.” Suehi, demuctats, are the prineiples of your party, essential to publie hberty and to the stability and wise administration of the government, alike in peace and war.— They are the principles upon which the constitution and the Onion were founded ; and, under the control of a party which adheres to them, the constituuion would be maintained and the Union could not be dissolved. Is the policy of the democratic party wrong, that it should be disbanded ? Its policy is consistent with its princi- ples and may be summed up, from the be- kinning,-as follows: The support of liber- ty a8 Rgainet their powor ; of the people as Le yy y . “a . ‘ida, ‘exas, New Mexico and California ment springing from and upheld by: the | popular will; and we contrast it with the | whatever name or form which seeks to | all the departinents and agents of the gov- | & the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and | against their agents and servants; and of tution, and absolutely essential to the pre- | servation of the Union. Does the history of the Democratic par- prove that it ought to be abandoned ¢— ‘By their fruits shall ve know them.’— Secuonal partics do not achiewe Union tri- umplis. For sixty years from tee inaugu- ration of Jefferson on the dil of Mareh, 1801, the Demoeratice party, with shortius tervals, controlled the power and the poli- cy of the Federal Government. For eight years out of these sixty, democratic men ruled the country; for tifty four years and eight months the democratic pohey pre- vailed. During this period Louisiana, Flor- ty ‘ were snccessively annexed to our territory, , with ao area more than twice as large as iall the original thirteen States together. | Eight States were adinitted under strictly ' democratic administrations —oue under the administration of Fillmore.—From five millions the population increased to thirty- one millions. The revolutionary debt was extinguished. Two foreign wars were suc- cessfully prosecuted with a moderate outlay and a smal! army and navy, and without i the suspension of the babeas corpus ; with- out the infraction of the constitution; with- out one usurpation of power ; without sup- pressing a single newspaper ; without im- prisoning a single editor; witbout limit to the freedom of the press, or of speech in or out of Congress, but in the midst of the grossest abuse of both; and without the varrest of a single “traitor,” though the | Hartford Convention sat during one of the | wars, atid io the other Senators invited the jenemy to “greet our voluoteers with | bloody hands and welcome them to bospi- i table graves.” ' During all this time wealth increased, | business of all kinds multiplied, prosperity ‘smiled on every side, taxes were low, wa- ges were ligh, the North and the South , furnished a market for each others pro— ducts at good prices ; public liberty was secure, private rights undisturbed 5 every ,man’s house was his castle; the courts | were open to alls uo passports for travel, “no secret police, vo spies, no informers, no bastiles; the right to assemble peaceably ; ithe right to petition; freedom of religion, | freedom of speech, a free ballot, and a free press ; and all this time the Constitution | maintained and the Union of the States preserved. |” Such were the choice fruits of the dem- ,ocratic principles and policy, carried out (through the whole period during whick the Democratic party held the power and | administered the Federal Government.— | Such has been the history of that party. It jis a Union party, for it preserved the Un- lon with wisdom, peace avd comproniise, | for more than half a century. ben neither the ancient principles, the | pohey, nor the past history of the Demo- leralic party require nor would justify its | disbandment. | Is there anything in the present crisis which demands it?

It is to adhere faith- fully to the very principles and policy which the democratic party has professed for more than half a century. Let its his tory, and the results, from the beginning, prove whether it has practiced them. We appeal proudly to the record. The first step towards a restoration of the Union as it was is to maintain the con- stitution as it is.

In this great work we cordially invite the co ope- ration of all men of every party who are opposed to the fell spirit of abolition, and who, in sincerity, desire the Constitution | as itis and the Union as it was. Let the dead past bury its dead. Rally lovers cf the Union, the Constitution, and of liberty, to the standard of the democratic party, already in the field and confident of victo- ry. ‘That party is the natural ad persists ent enemy of abolition, Upon this ques- Uon its record as a natural organization, however it may have been at times with particular men, or in particular States, it) is clear and unquesuionable. From the beginning of the anti-slavery agitation to the period of the last Demggcratic Na- tional Convention it has held but one lan- guage in regard to it. Let the speak. “ Resolved, That the Congress has no power under the constitution to interfere | with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are | the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs not pro— hibited by the constituGon; that all efforts of the abolitionists and others made to in- duce Congress to interfere with questions , of slavery, or to take incipient steps in re-, lation thereto, are calculated to lead to the , most alarming and dangerous consequen- ces, and that all such efforts have an inev- itable tendency to diminish the happiness | of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions.” Upon these principles alone, so far as relates to slavery, can the Union as it was be restored ; and no other Union, except the union of despotism, can be maintained in this country ; and this last we will re— sist, as our fathers did, with our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. But it is said that you must disband the | Democratic party ‘ to support the Govern- party bas always supported the Govern- ment; and, while it was in power, pre- served the Government in all its vigor and integrity, not by force and arms, but by wisdom, sound policy and peace. never did admit, and never will, that this administration, or any administration, is | “the Government.” It holds, and ever has | held, that the Federal Government is the agent of the people of the several States composing the Union—that it consists of three distinct departments ; the legislative, the executive and the judicial — each equal- \ly a part of the Government and equally entitled to the confidence and support of the States and the people; and that it is the duty of every patriot to sustain the several departments of the Government. in the exercise of all the Constitutional pow- | ers of each which may be necessary and proper for the preservation of the Govern Ment in its priveiples and in its vigor and Integrity, and to stand by and defend to the utmost the flag which represents the Government, the Union and country, In this sense the Democratic party has always sustained, and will now sustain the Government against all foes, at home or abroad, in the North or the South, open or | concealed, in office or out of office, in peace or in war, If this is what the Republican party democratic party, which for so many years | an idle thing to abandon the old and tried \ and through so many trials, supported, preserved and maintained the government of the Union. be to aid the ancient enemies of democra- cy in subverting our ancient constitution and form of government, and, undet pres tence of saving the Union, to erect a strong centralized despotism on its tulna, the de- UNE 2, 1862. moeratic party will resist them as the worst enemy to the eonstitution and the Union, aod to free povernment everywhere. We do not propose to consider now the | causes which led to this unhappy civil war, | A fitter time wi!ll come hereatter for such discussion, But we remind you now that compromise made your Union, and com— promise fifteen months ago would have saved it. Repeated efforts were made al the last session of the Thirty-sixth Con- gress to this end. At every stage the great mass of the South, with the whole democratic party of the North and West united in favor of certain amendments to the constitution~and chief among them was the well-known “ Crittenden proposi- tions,” which would have averted civil war j and maintained the Union.

The charge is libelous acd No man has advocated any such | proposition, Democrats recognize it as then doty as patriots to suppor the gov- ernment in all coustituional, necessary and proper efforts to maintain its safety, intey- ;rty, and constitutional authority ; but at the same time they are inflexibly opposed tu Waging war against any of the States or people of this Union in any spirit of op- pression, Or for the purpose of conquest or subjugation, or of overthrowing or iv— | terfering with the rights or established in- | stitutions of any State.

But no, democrats, it is not the support of the goveromentin restoring the Union which the party in power requires of you. You are askwd to give up your principles, pour policy and your party, and stand by | the administration of the party in power, lin all its acts. Above all, it is demanded | of you that you yield at least a silent sup— port to their whole policy, and to withhold all scrutiny into their public conduct of every kind, least you should “ embarrass the administration.” You are thus asked to renounce one of the first principles aud the chief security of democratic govern— ment—the right to hold the public ser— | vants responsible to their masters, the peo- ple; to render the representative account: jable to the constituent; the ancient and | undoubted prerogative of Americans to canvass public measures and public men.

Tn the Virginia Senate on Thursday a resolution was adopted requesting the Pres- ident to restore General John B.

John B. Floyd, and authorize him to raise a division of twenty thousand men, not subject to the conserip- tion act, for the defence of the State.” os RUMORS. Tt was teported yesterday tbat the Yan- kees had landed in large numbers at Smith- field. The nearness to Smithfleld to James river, offers facilities for the landing of the enemy which we could not prevent. Itis stated that they bave also appeared at Chuckatuck, Nansemond county, in large force. Burnside is reported to be making his way slowly towards Marfreesboro’, N. Cand other positions in the vieioity of the seaboard railroad. If these reports be correct, the indications point very piainly to an attempted junction of the forces un- der Burnside and McOlellan, and then a grand movement towards Richmond on the South side of James river.— Pet.

B, INCIDENTS OF ‘RetReAT OF GENERAL JACKSON FROM WIN- OHESTER LAST SPRING. There are several incidents related in connection with falling back of General Jackson from Winchester last spricg upon the approach of Banks io overwhelming force, which are interesting ig connection with-bis recent exploit atthe same place. They were related to the writer while in Winchester since its occupation by the Yankees. As the glittering lines of the Federal troops entered the town, with their drams beating aud the bands playing “ Hail Coluinbia.” General Jackson su- perintended the evacuation of the place by his own troops, and rode leisurely up the main street to the south end, occasionally turning in his saddle to inspect the inva- der'’s column, whose cavalry were dashing through town in ia direction, Suid a lady, weeping, “ Ob, General, you are not ging away, and leave us bere!” He re- ohied, “ Yes, madam, for a little while,” and with a waive of the band the General cantered on afier his command. But he kept his word. He did return “ in a little while.” Colonel Ashby and several of bis men did not leave town until balf an hour after the enemy had full possession. As Ashby walked his horse along the street, turning hie steed’s head towards the enemy now and then, the ladies urged him to flight, andaome of them tesougit bim to go, even with tears. But the Colonel said, “he could’nt—one of his men was at the stable saddling his horse, and he would’nt have him.” Finally when further delay would have been foolhardy, he joined his command, in waiting for him at the head of the Winchester turnpike. Then brand- tehing their sabres they gave “ three cheers for the Southern Confederacy and a rock- ing chair tor the ladies,” and fell to their work of protecting the retreat of the in- fantry. The night following the departure of their friends and the entry of their enemies was one of gloom and sorrow to the citi- zens of Winchester. Had a corpse lain in every house the sadness and gtief could not have been more universal. The streets were deserted except by the invader, and the shuttered window and closed blinds told him he was not welcome. Thank God, the night of grief has passed, and the morning of their rejoicing has come. Rich. Hxraminer. The Fight near Barhamsyille. It was stated, and then positively denied at Richmond, that a severe encounter had taken place at Barhamsville, near West Point, on the Peninsula, two days after the battle at Williamsburg. Recently we have both Confederate and Yankee accounts of it. Why it was denied we cannot tell, as it was evidently a Confederate success.—— The Richmond Whig has been favored by one engaged in it with an account, from which we extract-—premising, that the 6th North Carolina Regiment, Col. Pender’s though not mentioned in this Texan ac- count of the engagement, was in it, and has the credit, by one of high position and undoubted qualifications to judge, of bav- ing dune some of the best fighting in the war. Riley's battery, which is incidental- ly mentioned, is also from North Carolina, and is stated to have done much of the work. Gen. Whiting of Mississippi (and not a native of Massachusetts as was once said of him,) commanded in person. Fay. Otserver. While the main column, with the 4th Texas in front, and Gen. Hord and staff at its head, were marching aloug the road, the General and staff were fired upor by a party of Yankees, lying in ambush. No- body was hurt. The General waving his hat, the brigade immediately closed us, and the 4th Texas was formed into a line of battle. Riley’s Battery, supported by the 18th Georgia Regiment, was then left on the bill, and the 4th and Ist Texas Re- giments pursued the march. After gain- ing the woods, which had to be done by marching through an old field, the skir- mishers found the enemny and engaged them in tke woods, driving them back stea- dily. They came upon any quantity of knapsacks, haversacks, d&e., scattered through the woods, but nothing indicating where the main force of the enemy lay.— Iu the meanwhile, the 1st Texas came up- on them in jarge force, and being fired up- on were immediately ordered to charge.— They did charge them gallanily, and in a few vol'eys of musketry, sent them scat. tering through the woods to their gunboats in closg proximity. Promiscuous firing was kept up for a while, everyhere a blue jacket offered, which was but for a short time. After the engagement, we found on the field some 250 killed and wounded Yankees, together with 42 prisoners.— Hampton Legion, which was on the ficld, _ but not engaged, (our informant thioks,) picked up some 82 more prisoners, Oar loss was ten killed and twenty-one wounded, as appears from the Surgeon's report of the casualties. Among the killed wore Lieut. Col. Black, of the first Tezas, and Capt. Decatur. Our wounded were Il brought off the field by us, as were the ‘‘ettemy"s wounded, and all came to Rich- ov Mies Jyiketiigt. w little skirmish, which. was pot lb to give our Texas boys an appetite enoug : for breakfast, has been magnified by Mc- nid re } x > st eo set , and he bas repofted that we bad a force of 80,000 troops’ on the field while he bad 20,000. The pris- oners taken represent the 95th Pennsylva- nia, Sist and 84th New York, and lst California asin the engagement, and that there were fifteen regiments posted in the woods near the scene of encounter, but who were it seems afraid to come out. Chel nb be ANOTHER CONFEDERATE VIO- TORY. The Jackson Mississipian of the 12th instant, learus from a passenger just tbrough from Texas—that an engagement between 1700 of Gen. Sibley’s brigade, and 2800 Federals, occurred on the 10th ulttimo, at Glorietta Canton, New Mexico. Cvlonel Scurry, commanding, had bis men posted in the canton through which the Federals were compelled to pass to communicate with Fort Craig. About six hundred of the enemy were killed and wounded, aud less than 100 of Scurry’s men—among whom, however, were Majors Raquet and Stropsbire, killed; and Lieut. Col. Sutton, mortally wounded. Gen. Sibley’s A. D. C., Capt. Ocniltre, who was bearer of despatches from Gen. Sibley, reported to our informant tbat the result of the battle at Glorietta would be the surrender of Fort Craig to our forces, and the eccupation of all New Mexico and Arizona by the Confederates. The follow- ing, which is telegraphed from Vicksburg, gives a few additional particulars : The Houston (Texas) Telegraph, of the 7th, contains the particnlars of a battle at Glorietta. The Courier says that the en- emy left five hundred killed and wounded on the field, and lost besides two hundred. The Confederates loss was sixty-eight kill- ed and wounded, ineluding Major Raquet, Capt. Buckhoitz and Major Sbropshire. THE SPOILS IN THE VALLEY. The Richmond Enquirer, of yesterday, says: The victories of Gen. Jackson at Front Royal and Winchester are fully confirmed by despatches from the old hero himself, published in this morning’s paper. The material and moral results of these brill— iant coups de main are believed to be fully equal, if they do notsurpass, the combined results of any others that bave been ac- complished upon tbe soil of Virginia. At Front Royal the spoils of the victory were rich in arms and included a sufficient num ber splendid sabres, as yet unused, to arm the entire cavalry force of the command. | At Winebester the acquisition of muni- tions of war was superb. The quantity of medical stores which fell iuto our hands was exceedingly valuable, and occurs at a : : |. ; time when their capture seems a dispensa- | ding armies.

Their horses, twelve or fifteen hundred in nuinber, were captured. The First Mary land Regiment (Federal) were quietly amusing themselves, principally in playing bluff, and were taken prisoners, in fla- grante delictu, and handed over to the gallant Marylanders of the Confederate army, to be taken care of. CHEERING NEWS. The Richmond Hzaminer has been in- ccrmed through a source that cannot be doubted of the safe arrival of two steamers in a Confederate port. They entered last Saturday morning just before the dawn of day, and their cargoes, which are very val- uable are now being safely landed, and re- moved to places where most needed.— Among other articles brought by these vessels we see mentioned 4,700 improved muskets, 80,000 poundsof powder, a quan- tity of salt petre, mercury, and many oth- er much needed articles. ENGAGEMENT IN SOUTH WESTERN VIRGINIA. We bad news Monday evening of a dis aster to Gen. Heth’s command in South- western Virginia, but, as the intelligenee of it was not entirely confirmed, and, at any rate, very unwelcome, we were not in any haste to announce it to our readers. From what we have since learned, it ap- pears that General Heth was badly whip- ped, losing two hundred men and two pieces of artillery. The fight took place at Lewisburg last Saturday. Our force was about eiyhteeen hundred men, and, al- | though unwilling to believe it, we are con- strained, from the best information we can get on the subject, to think that our de- feat was accomplished by an inferior force of the enemy.— Rich, Araminer, May 28.

If all our public officers would thus act up to their solemn obligations, these speculators would find it an up-hill business, and cease their efforts to starve the poor of their dwn State for paltry gain. We commend the exumple of the Asheville Mayor to all like officers. THE LINES ABOUT RICHMOND. There was no remarkable incident yesterday on our lines in the vicinity of Richmond. The day was entirely quiet, with the exception of a few cannon shot in the veighburhood of Bottom Bridge. We learn that in Tuecday’e fight near Han- | over Junetion, General Branch succeeded in getting off his entire command, with the excep- tion of one regiment, which got out of position, but which yesterday effected a junction with the main body. The force of the enemy was large- ly superior to that of Generul Branch. The retreat was conducted in good order to Ashland, where a panic suddenly broke out among our troops, and great confusion followed. Ashland is still within our lines. The report circulated in the city yesterday of the junction of Burnside with McClellan is without foundation, as it is known that Burn- side, who has indicated a movement of this sort, is still held in check in North Carolina. Tt appears that the report of McDowull’s de- scent from Fredericksburg in force has also but little fnneatons as ba ene have made the march 10 80 short a time, Whatevertroops he has in Hanover thats reached that section of country by transports op the Pamankey.

We learn that Captain Alexander, the As- sistant Provost Marshal of Richmond, has, with- in the past two weeks, caused to be taken up and returned to their respective camps the startling number of 4,235 soldiers, who were found roaming about the streets. This was done bv the Provost Guard, under instructions from General Johnston. Oar citizens have noticed a diminution in the numbers of straggling soldiers about the city, and the above is the secretof it. Let the good work continue. The modification of the order, making it applicable to soldiers and officers, high and low in rank, would make it the more ac- ceptable. — Jb. BULLETS VS. MARBLES. We observed veste:day, in common with oth- er cilizens in Capitol Square, the progress of a game quite diffrent from that being played by our army, end which we foolimly thought be- longed exclusively to the soldior. The specta- cle was an animated game of marbles between a squad of soldiers on one of the gravel walks of the rquare! There they squatted, within hearing of the guns of the invaders, and, while their bullets sought the viiuls of some brave de- fender, the cravens shot their marbles with the precision of school boys, knelt intent upon the “knuckle down” and ** white allev.” Great Heavens! what a spectacle at this hour, when solemn councils debate und armies work out the preblem of this nation’s destinies! —Jb. It will be seen by the order of the Post-Office Department, published in our co'amne, that hereafter post musters are required to take pay- ment in postage stamps for advertised, or un- paid letters or newspapers.

Morgan took one, for which he was about to pay, when the bov said: ‘I dont charge you anything for cigars.” Col. Morgan asked him why. ‘Oh,” says the boy, ‘‘you are the Col Morgan who has been fighting for us, and you are welcome to anything I have gow.’ Pleas- ed with the answer, Col. Morgan took from 4 roll of U.S. Treasury notes a five dollar bill, and presented it to the boy, and told him to keep it as a memento. Montgomery Advertiser. The Jackson Mississippian learns from a gentleman who left New Orleans Tuesday evening, 13th inst., that the foreign Consuls have protested ayainst Butler’s proclamation in regard to the suppression of the Confederate currency, and it is also stated that the craw- fishing Yankee will revoke or materially modi- fy its purport. The Consuls say that many subjects of their Governments are innocent holders of the Confederate notes, and that they must be pisid by one government or the other. It is further siated that (he Euglish and French who owned cotton in New Orleans de- stroyed by the rehels, are muking oat their bills against the United States for their loss. Eng- land not having recognized the Southern Con- federacy, and the United States ignoring its existence, it is said that the Governments of France and Fngland recognize the validity of these claims, and will enforce their adjustment. It will be hard on the Yankeee to lose the cot- ton which they so much coveted, and then be compelled to pay for it. South Carolinian. For the Watchman. LINES TO THE MEMORY OF GEN. A. 8. JOHNSTON. Hold soldier! of the sunny South, Sheathe thy sword and stay thy spear; Close now the cinnon’s deep-toned mouth, Shout not o’er thy victory here. Tho’ nobly one—and nobly all, Beat back the blood-red tide of war, Fearless alike of deadiy ball,— Of broadsword or of eimiter. Tho’ triumph crowns each manty brow, And fame attends thy proud eareer, Yet, soldier! wave 10 banner now, Shout not o’er thy victory here: For in that guarded tent there lies, The great, the noble, and the brave ;— He gave himself a sacrifice, His own bright sunny South to save. Then gather all in silence there, Soldier’s to conqnest proudly led; Nor shame to let your tears declare, A glorious tribute to the dead. Breathe there a prayer around his bed, And lay hin) down from all apart ; It needs no record of the cead— "Tis written on a nation’s heart.

Did you vee them lying, Pale, and culd, and still, And strew leaves above them With your little bill? Whether true or not, Robin, We are glud to see How you trust us, children, Walking in eo free, Hopping o’er the carpet Picking up the crumbs, Robin knows the children Love him when he comes.

A TRUF 8TORY. BY SAMUEL II. FORD. Ir was a calm summer evening.— The sun liad gone down, and the wes- tern clouds, radiant with golden splendor, shed a loveliness over the gathering twilight. The stars were peeping out from the sky, and a light fanning breeze blew gently from the river. It was a Sabbath evening, and all around wasstill. On the left, over against the blue sky, rose the towering bluffs in rude sublimity. To the right lay the town, now hush- ed in silence, and beyond it the riv- er, stretching for miles before the eye, rolled on in majestic grandeur. The moon was walking forth and the starry hosts were gathering. Ali na- ture seemed a temple, and every ob- ject a worshiper, whose deep and si- lent praises ascended to the throne. “ What a lovely scene!” said the silvery voice of a female at my side, while ber dark eye dilated with rap- ture. Oh! with what pleasure can that woman whose mind is trained, whose heart is sanctified, whose feel- ings and faculties are expanded and elevated, feast at the banquet of na- ture, revel amid its splendors, and drink rich delight from its streams of beauty. And such were the holy enjoyments of her who leaned on my arm. Sheis now gone to the grave. The soothing influence of her society will inspire me with gladness no more on earth ; but still her image plays brightly before my mind ; her patience, ber piety, her sweet submission, cun never be for- gotten. She was my wife, my earth- ly all; dear indeed is her memory tome. We were going to see a lit. tle girl who was at the point of death. “ Well, Priscilla, you seem deeply interested in this little girl.” “ Interested! [ never saw such a. child in my life. Why, she talke of death and heaven with all the con- | fidence of a saint.” | “ Her parents are religious, I be- lieve ?” “ Ter father is not, but her moth- er certainly is a very pions woman.” Our conversation here ceased, for we approached the neat little nts tage in which the family resided.— | We entered the house of affliction.— | Her father, evidently in the bitter. | est agony, was pacing the floor. — | Beside the sick bed bowed the heart- stricken mother, whose sighs and prayers evinced her mingled an- guish and sabmission. jis not a fictitious scene, i truth. }and exclaimed, ‘ Mother, I’ve been “W Oh! Tam 60 glad you have come,” said the sweet child, as the fixed her éyes, now sparkling with unnat- ural brilliancy, upon us. She was about nine years of age. Peenliar- ly modest in her manner, she never attracted my special attention, though a regular attendant at the Sabbath School of which I was su- perintendent. My wife had conver- sed with her the day previous, when in a most effecting manner she spoke of Christ, of her sins, pardoned through his death, ef her hope of endless life. Drawing near to the bed on which she lay, I took her lit- tle hand in mine. * Well, Jane, are you very sick ?” “Yes, sir,” she replied; ‘I shall soon die.” “And where will you be then, Jane ¢” “In heaven, sir; Pll be in beay- en.” “And what makes you you'll be in heaven, Janct” “ Because Jesus died fur me; don’t you think he did, sir?” “Yes, Jane; certainly Jesus Christ died for you, but how do you know that Ins death will bring you think to heaven, Jane?” “ Because he said, ‘Suffer little children to come unto me, and for- bid them not.” Didn’t he say that, sir?” “And have you ever gove to Je- sus, Jane ?” “T have prayed to him, sir; don’t it mean that ¢” “Yes, Jane, that’s the meaning of it; aud do you think he has an swered you?” “Oh, yes!—bless the Lord! I do love him! He has pardoned my sins. Iam going to Jesus.” These and other broken sentences followed each other in rapid sueces- sion, while her pale face was lit up with a heavenly smile. Astonished, | I looked around. What a scene !— | The mother still bowed at the bed- side in tears—-at the other side, her | sisters and brothers, weeping as_ though they would break their iittle hearts—the father yroaning aloud— | all the house in tears. “Lwas the house of mourning, . “Will you pray with me ?” Jane. I was melted, weeping group. gether. said I wept with the We knelt down to- Our prayers were uttered in broken sighs. Death was in our midst; yet hope shed its hatlowing influence over our bleeding hearts. Sweetly some angel hovered over the spot, waiting to waft the ransom- ed spirit home. We arose from our knees, and all around was tranquil. “Well, Jane, do you think the Lord has heard us ?” “ Yes, sir; | know he has.” | “And do you feel no fears of. death ¢” “Oh! no; I shall go to Jesus; | waut to go.” “And what will you do when you are with Jesus, Jane ?” “He has pardoned my sins, and I wil tell him I love him. what I'll do.” Yes, that’s As she said these last words, her | countenance kindled with delight ; | her strength failed; she closed her | This | As the fa ther of the child afterwards told me, | eyes—we thought in death. he could not have believed it, had he seen it described in a Sunday School book; so seme, perhaps, who read this, may be ready to doubt its | She soon opened her eyes in heaven; I want to go.” She then torned to her father and eaid, * Father, won’t you love Jesus | Christ, and serve him, and then get | to heaven ?” | Oli! "twas touching to see that dy- ing child exhorting that affectionate, weeping father. Calling her little brother to her she said, in a more calin manner, “ Robert, I am going Joy, strips lite of its verdure, and Vhard itis to hope! how hard to sab- ‘there, beneath the green hillocks, in the Jonely grave-yard, they will i slaughter, his name. to die.” T want ‘you to be a boy, and-love Jeans Christ.” Her parting’ with’ her mother and my wife, wae peculiarly effecting. I ap- proached her but to bid her a last adieu, when itting herself up, she threw her arms around my neck, pressed her cold lips to my check, fell back into her mother’s arms, and expired. She fell a sleep in Je- sus, her spirit went np to the throne. I left the honse, and as I gazed on the river rolling on in silence, and the stars twinkling in the blue depths of night, 1 thought bow man, like that river, was passing swiftly on- ward to the tomb; how the spirits of the righteous, like those distant suns, should shine forever in the galaxy of heaven. The following announcement of her death appear- ed in the weekly paper : * Diec in this city, on the 28th of June, Lucinda Jane, danghter of John UL. aud Lucretia Stokes, aged about nine years, And is she gone? I watched her latest breath, Beheld her struggling in the pairs of death 5 LT heard the heaving sigh, the dying groan, Her eyelids closed tn death. Alas! she’s gone, Goue trom a world of woe, and pain, and strife, ‘Yo peaceful plains of pure celestial life. “¢ Jesus called little children unto him,” she said; ‘© He can give brightest bliss that cannot fade Oh, bless the Lord! Jesus [ go to thee ; My father, mother, friends, come go with me.” Yer! and the Saviour, bendug from above, Received her spirit to the home of love. “Mother, Pve been iu heaven,” the lovely child With joy exclaimed —then like an angel smiled. Oh! ‘twas the dawn o: bliss, aw mourniul ray, IGmitted trom the realins of endless day ; Aud vow her spirit tu you cloudless light, Basks in heaven's beatific visious bright. Yes, lovely Jane is gone, but do not weep, Sweetly in Jesus’ arms she fell asleep, Her ransomed sprit from this sadd’ning scene By angels wafted to yon world serenre— All freed from toil and pain. enraptured now, Wears a bright wreath of glory ou her brow. Six months had passed; the day was sioWly breaking. My wife, my loved one, had just breathed her last... Chilled with this new aftie- tion, Lad retired to the corner of the porch, where [ remained, un- conscious of every thing that was passing. A hand was gently laid onoimy arin, and a manly voice now tremulous with emotion, thus ad- dressed me: ® You know what you told me when [lost my little Jane. you told me to take comfort—she was in heaven.” * Yes,” IT answered, “she is in good {The Yan¥ees, upon heatibg” ‘Wiis? “Swore't’ tbat they would kill every metober of this company captured.” The New Orleans Crescent has been stppressed, because of Mr. J.

YANKEE OUTRAGES IN NORFOLK. We learu from a respectable source that a Yankee Colonel having violated a negro woman in Norfolk, was shot dead by her tor so doing. Whereupon, the gal- lant Cotonel’s compatriots, in revenge of hid death. on tle next day, killed and wounded about 120 negrors in Norfolk. It is reported that a good many Yankees have been killed by eating Stawberries and rasberries in which poison had been mix-~ ed by negroes. —) Kvrst Ténnessée.— A correspondenht of hie Svathern Presbyterian, writing from ‘up- per East Tennesse¢, “May 10th,” gives ag sad account of the ‘tate of things, religious and political, in that region, lle says: : y { There is great division here both in! Churcli and State. Strange! that a peo: | ple whose every interest is identified with the South should sympathize so strongly | with the North. Yet twy-thirds are ° for | the Union,” asjabawn by the Governor's | election suine time since, aud this majori- ty has not diminiehed, but tather tnereas: | ed since the occupation uf Nashville and | Donelson, Thousands feaice at these suc- cesser-— have no syinpathy with the South, | The causes of this sympathy are various: | 1. Ignorance among the masses of the | great qnestionus which produced the divi- sion, 2. Belief of the overwhelming power of | the North, and the weakness of \heSouth. | 3. A sprinkling of abolitiouisy among | the lower and middle classes, 4. The uubounded intluence of a few political leaders. 6. Dread of entering the army. The fear of the “draft” has oceasioned. the stampede of thousands to Kentucky, Mav- ing their helpless families in want. Sev- eral regiments have been formed in Ken- lucky out of these deserters. One of \he lending characters is a minister from this Presbytery 1 Ministers of otker denoimi vations have taken an active part. Zion also mourns, Every denomina tron is divided and also every church. One will not listen to a preacher of Southern svinpathies, another as rivid not to hear a “Unten man.” Many have to leate their charges un this account, the writer amoung them. In many churches you dare not pray for the Southera Contederacy ; iw ythers for the Lincoln government. There are grear complaints atthe Presbytery for uniting with the Southeru General Assembly, aud maty allege that it was not the veice of the people, Several important churches stand independent, and have nu ecclesias- tical connection, owing to different causes. THE SALTY WORKS. On Thursday last. we aoderstand there were upwards of 11,000 wagons at the works watuog their turn for salt. Many of these wagons are returning some of them empty, others with a sack or two of salt, for which they say they were compelled ty pay $6 per bushel at the Saltville Depot. They purchased at this exorbitant price rather than wait a couple of weeks or re- turn empty. The price at the Works is $1 per bushel, The proprietors of the Works, we under. stand, for the purpose of preventing specn- lation and extortion, will not aell large amounts to todividuals, unless they come with proper vouchers that they come as agents of the counties from which they hail. This is all right and proper, but how comes it that persons in the neighborhood of the Works have the article to sell at tix times the price at which the proprietors sell it? We cannot believe that the pro prietors connive at this outrage, but the speculation is going on within sight of the smoke of the farnaces. Itis thought that many wagoners sell all they get over and above what they may need for their own use, to speculators unconnected with the Works, and these take advantags of those who would prefer to give six dollars per bushel to waiting two or three weeks or returning empty. ‘his thing is creating great dissatisfaction and much bitter feel ing all through the country, and the pro- prietors would do well to ferret out and correct the abuse.— Abingdon Virginian. | Our infotmant says, that one day, while it was LB We see it stated that in the fight at Richmond, on Satarday and Sunday last. | occurred the first ‘locking’ of bayonets from a ‘uharge’ that has taken place in Virginia during the existing war, This is a mistake; The Thirteenth North Caroli na Volunteers, commanded by Col, A.M. | Scales, not only charged the enemy in the battle at Williamsburg, but locked bayonets | for the space of ten minutes, This the first instance of an actual ‘boek.”— Mil- ton Cronicle. was Le We are requested to say that the Hon.

MEMOIR OF GEN. 'T J. JACKSON. —_ the Confederate States to the otter, bas ena- bled us to give the following sketch of his life, previously to his aceeptance of a command in the Confederate army.

During his early ehildhood he resid- ed with an uncle, whose name we did not hear, | ‘and at the age of sixteen he had conducted himself so well, and produced such a tavora- ble impression of his energy and integrity that Le was chosen constable of? the county. Tn the year 1842 a cadet had been appointed from his district to West Point, who declined to go. Jackson immediately touceived the idea of filling the place he haa eft vacant,— raining exceedingly bard, he burst suddenly into bis office, the rain streaming from his clothes, and told him he must give him a let- ter to Mr. Hayes, at that time. representative in Congress from the Lewis Distri¢t. Upon being asked what he wanted with sich a let- ter, be replied he wished to go to Weat Point. His friend pointed gut to him what he regard- ed as the absurdity of such a scheme, secing that he was very deficient in education, and would, therefore, probably not be able to stand the preliminary examination. He acknow- ledged the alleged deficiency, but said he was sure he hall the perseverance to make it ap. He obtained the letter without further diffi- culty, and that very evening borrowed a horse, under promise to send hiin back by a buy whom he carried with him, and rode to Clarksburg to take the stage. It had been raining for wecks as it can only rain in that country, the roads were maddy as they are muddy nowhere else that ever we heard of. Jackson arrived in time; but on account of the muddy roads, the Pustinaster had furuish- ed the mail an hour betore time, and the stage was already gone. With characteristic fidel- ity to his promise, Jackson sent the horse back, instead of riding bi on in pursuit of the stage. and took it oa foot through. the mud, After a roan of thirteen miles, he over- took the stage, jumped in, went to Washigg- ton all muddy ashe was, presented his letter to Mr. Hayes, and was by him in turn pre- sented to the Secretary of War, who gave bun the coveted warrant. At West Point he se- verely felt the want of early education; but his indomitable spirit overcame every obsta- cle. He was never marked tor a demerit dar- ing his four years, and graduated with the class of 1846, the saine in which McClellan graduated, * The young graduate was ordered oft imme- diately, with the rank of Second Lieutenant, to join Gen. Taylor's army tn the valley of the Rio Grande. He arrived after the bat- tles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey, and before that of Buena Vista was ordered to join General Scott before Vera Cruz, At the siege of this latter place he commanded a battery, and attracted attention by his coolness and the judgineat with which tre worked his*guns, and was promoted Kirst Lieutenant. For his conduct at Cero Gordo, be was breveted Captain. He was in all Scott's battles to the city of Mexico, and be- haved so well that he was brevetted Major for his services. On one occasion he com- manded a battery upon which the fire of the enemy was so severe that more than half lis | troops who were raw, incontinently ran— | Jackson was advised to retivat; but he suid | if he conld get a reinforcement of filly regu- | lars he would take the enemy ¢ battery oppos- | ed to him, instead of abandoning his own — | He sent for the named reinforcement, bnt, before it came, he bad already stormed the | obnoxious battery. Jackson's health was so much shattered by this campaign that he was compelled to re- | sign. He accepted a protesyorship at the Military Institute, where he continued until | the secession of Virginia, In height, he 1s | about six feet, with a weight of about ‘one | hnodred and eighty. He is quite #8 remark- | able for his moral as he has proved himeelt to | be for his fighting qualities—being a perfectly | conscientious man, just in all his dealings with his fellow men. It is said be is @ fatalist, as Napoleon was, and has no fear that he can be killed before big time cores.

His vigilance is soineUiing maryellous. He never seems to sleep, and lets nothing pass without his per= sonal serutiny. Lie can neither be eae napping por whipped when he is wide awake. The rapidity of his marches is something por- tentous, He is heard of by the enemy at one point and before they can make up their minds to follow his he is off at anothen His men have little baggage, and he moves, as nearly as he can, thon incumbrance, He keeps 80 constantly in motion that be never has a sick list, and no need of hospitals, In these habits, and in » will as determiitied as that of Fuilns Crssar, are read the @ecret of his great success, His men adore him, because he re- of the Valley Department, that will be intery. esting toall justnow. Thereis one statement) in regard to him, however, that rather startled us; and it will no doubt attract the attenti of the reader. ‘Th ig suid he isa fataliat, ag Napoleon was, and has no fear that he can be, killed betove his time gomes.”. It will be seem. that the Editor of the Dispatch does vot afé: firm this positivély of Gen. Juekson. ‘Te-may. not beso. But then “é ts said” to be trues; and the Kiitor is e¢idently inclined to, believe it, from the way iu which he speake, Wheths er he considers it a very serious defectiof char. racter in the General or not, ia nut stated; but, MIs very mauifest that he regards it as somes thing different from ordinary people, - “ “A fatalist,” according to the definition or the Dispatch, is one who “has'no fear that he can be killed before his time comes,” ‘Accept - the definition and also the singular belief of Gen. Javkson on toils point, and it 8 as a description of people generally, *, who feur that they will be killed before their time comes!” If this be trve, what a misera= ble time they must have of it in this life }== There is a “time” for them to die, and yet they may be taken off before it eomed! There’ isa work allotted to them here, but by some mishap they may be removed hence ere it ie: accomplished |! All is hap-hazard chance» sg that He in whose hands, we are told, theit “times” are, may be entirely thwarted in bis purpose, and “ before their ime comes” some stray bullet of the enemy, or something else, may do the work forthem! If this is the bez lef of the Editor of the Dispatch, let him be: very cautious how he ventures out towards the Chjekabomingasnless he believes his “time has come.” Itywould be very prorok« ing to find the plans ‘of an indhiutty bie and gracions Providence vee frus- trated (pardon ipo revereuge appogho by some misérableYankee devicg But, more seriously, the remark of the Dis- patch shows the vague, loose, undefined, if not radically defective notions of the world on the subje.t of God's providential government of his creatures and all that pertains to them, “A fatalist” is really one who disbelieves ip, | the doctgine of Providence—who holds that everything is controlled by a blind fatality and not by an intelligent, overrnting mind — Gen. Jackson is anything ¢lse than “a fatal- ist." He is gn intelligent christian, who cata ries tie’ teaching‘ of his Bible into all te busia ness of life. He believes there is One who “working auL things actording to the tot sel of his own will,” and in whose hatid breath is. Not even a sparrow’ fallg to the’ groand without his knowledge, and the very hairs of oar head are all numbered by Him, To each one of his intelligent creatures here He has assigned duties, more or legs danger-, ous; bat whatever these duties may be, whether they are to be discharged an the bate tle field, “in the midst of a hurrieane ef bul- lets,” or in the more quiet duties of civil life, He never loses sight of those who are .en- gaged in them. And until their work is done, it 1s impossible to remove them from it. If (his is fatatism, then every {ntelligent christian, who practices what he preaches, is a fatalist. And tnany: who are not christians are fatal> ists; for a belief in a guiding and controlling Providenve is tiich more general than an humble trust in the Saviour of sinners. Gen. Jackson may be less under the tiMsnde of external circumstances then: most mgerv; he doubfless is, especially “in a hurricane of bul- ‘ets;" but this only shows that lie possesses the ability to exhibit his " faith by his works” more clearly than is common. ie we Oe bso THE TBANS.MISSISSIPPI DISTRICT There appears to be preat dissatisfaction, in Arkansas esperially, at the withdrawal of the Confederaté troops from the Trane- Mississippi district. Governor Reetor has lately issted a proclamation calling for 6.500 men for State defence, to repel the invasion of the Federals; and ‘takes ocea- siov in his proclamation to refer, in terms of severe comment, to the defenceless ¢on- dition in which Southern Missouri, Arkan- sas and Texas have beeb left by the with- drawal of tke Confederate troops east of the Mississippi. We have reason to believe that these murmurs Go injustice to the. government, mod that operations will be immediately resumed weet of the Missiasipy) ov the ov- carrence of events Which must take place in a few days. , In view Sf this purpose, Major General Magruder has been asssigned to take com- mand in the Trans-Mississippi district, but will not, we learn, ta his post for some days, fh view of the impending crisis iti the iinmeadiate neighborhood of Bieb- moed.— Zzaminer.

There’s no sehoo! thie afternvon ; 90 take 'a walk around witt ‘me, abd Pl show, you my vew atilte.” . “T should Jike to eee the stilts,” replied Frank, ‘but my wother has requested me to come directly home at the close of school.’ “ Well, ‘it wont take yon long jast to go over and see them. on know echool was dismissed a quarter ofan hour ‘earlier to day, so you will lava time enongh to go ovér and see them with me, and thén get home as early as usual. Ouome, Frank, said Will Jones, and his rea soning seemed so plansible that Frank Reed was more than balf pur- suaded to accompany him. Then the recollection of his mother’s re- quest oceured to him, and he said— “Well, what are the stilts any ‘way? = Are they anything remarka- ble, Will?” *\Remarkahle? yon’d think they were. Why they are nice places to rest my feet on, two feet high from the ground, and the poles are plan- ed all smooth and painted. You . ought to see Tim Snow and me.— This morning we learned to bop on one foot, and we can go as fast as yon can hop withont the stilt. Come, now, say you will go,” said Will Jones, as they had reached the cor ner and where they must separate unless Frank accompanied bim.— Will canght hold of Frank’s hand, and told him they would be their in five sninutes if he would only hurry a little. So they proceeded hastily, and soon arrived at Will Jones.’— Will ran into the house and brought out the stilts, and Frank pronounced then the handsomest pair he had ever seen. Will displayed his faculty in his use of the stilts to the great admira- tion of Frank. He could walk ap the store steps to the front door, could jump off the side-walk and hop on one stilt withont losing his balance. Frank was delighted, and when Will had gone through with several wonderful feats, Ftank asked to bor- row them for a little while. So he mounted the stilts, but foand it hard to keep his balance, he ade several unsuccessful attempts at walking, but at length succeeded, and was congratalating himself on his success, when the striking of the clock reminded him that he onght to be athome. He suddenly threw down the atilts, exclaiming: “ How long have I stayed. You must come and see me this afternvon, Will, aud bring your stilts.” “ No,” said Will, “ youn come and see me. Tim Snow and ever so ma- ny boys are coming over, and we will have fun enough.” “Pll see, said Frank, and away he ran. When he arrived home he was all out of breath. He ran hastily inte the house, hang up his cap—tor he had not the bad habits of some boys, who when they take off their caps, give them a toss without noticing where they fall, and then the next time the cap is wanted, run tu their mothers with the question— “ Where is ny cap?” Frank wondered what bis mother would gay at his being eo late, and he almost dreaded to neet her—btut he heard her footsteps just as lie hung up his cap, and very soon her band was on his shoulders. “You are a good boy to come right home, his mother said in a tone of affection, “but I am afraid you have run all the way, your brow is moist with perspiration.” Frank coald not meet his mother’s countenance and receive her appro- bation, without feeling that it was undeserved. He ought to have told his mother why he had been ranning, and owned that he was not so Geser- ving of praiae as she supposed. But he didn’t. He simply said that he would go and wash, that he might feel more comfortable. At dinner be was very quiet, and when his mother spoke to bim he hardly dared to ee up for fear she would read disdbedience in his coun- tenance. As soon «8 dinner was over he asked he to go and play with Witfand Jones, To this hig mother objected, and Frank very CW ip Gor’ Secgrinpictattings m to do, or Ing that ‘Was’ hotliv cus acourdange.. with his inctinationa, Prank would grow peevieh, and ask, “Why vor?” or “why must 1 P~- Now thie waa very wrong. Fis pa- rents always hada good reason for their commands, and some times they, gave the reagon—but it would take too long always to explain why they devired or furbade anything, und sometimes they bad a reason which Frank could not have ander: stvod bad they given it. So now, “Why not?” Frank ask- ed. “The other boys are going — Tim Snow, Hal Cutter, Jo Boss, and lote of thew—and they want me to come. They are going to have fine sport walking on the stilts.” “Then that is a reason why, you should not go,” suid Mra. Reed; “vour father does not consider stilt walking a safe play, and would cer- tainly object, even were there no vther, reason—but [ wish to have my son feel confidence in his parents, and do their bidding from respect and affection—even when they with- hold the reason,” and his mother left the room, after telling Frank that she wanted to see him in the sewing room at three o'clock. Frank wondered what his moth er wanted with him at three o’clock. “T never can go anywhere,” be mut tered to himself,” “anywhere when I want to,” he added—for in spite ot himself, recollection of lis parents kindnesses came to his mind, and he felt that they were right. But he was unwilling to acknowledge to himself the truth. The he began to consider if he could not ron away and play a while with the boys and not be missed—but he was afraid | to try the scheme, and he only fret- ted away the time till the hour ap pointed by bis mother arrived.— Then he entered the sewing room, | and his mother held up a new suil | of clothes. | “ Here, my son,” said she, “is the very suit you liked 80 much. These are for your best ones, and to-mor: | row those that have been your best | you may wear to school. Now take | these to your room and try them on; | it may be that they will need a lit- | tle alteration.” Frank took tie clothes, and thanked his mother— | When he got to his room his eyes | were filled with tears! and he said | to himself, “Pve a yood mind to tell mother all about my going to) Will Jones, and trying his stilts.” | Then he put down the suit, walk. | ed to the door, and stopped. The | resolution seemed, to make him feel | better, and he said, “Ill try the, clothes on first.” | So he put on the clothes, and then | went back to the sewing room. — [is | father bad gone in, and when Frank | arrived there, his courage failed him; | and so he postponed the fulfillment of bis resolution, “ Your father is going to give us | a ride, Fraik,” said his mother, — | “Pin glad tose your clothes fit so | well; yoo may keep them on.” 1) shall be ready in a few minutes and | then we will go.” | The ride was delightfal. The air was clear and inviyorating. The sky was withonta cloud, and brightly blue. True, there were no summer flowers to vive fragrance to the air and beanty to the view, but autuwn had done her best at tinting. Elm trees and maples blended their gold and crimsom colvrs, and claimed admiration. “See, Frank,” said his mother, and Frank saw and faintly smiled — his mother wondered why—but Frank well knew. That night Frank was troubled in his sleep. He dreamed that the boys had borrowed hig stiits and ron away with them, and once he called ont 8o lond, Give me wy stilts,” that his mother beard him and went into hig room. The next morning Frank felt tron- bled. He wanted to tell his moth er all about his disobedience, and he felt as thongh he woutd never say “Why not?” again, and he wan- ted to tel} her so—but he didn’t,— He went to school expecting to meet the boys,—thought they would won- der why he had not met them the day before to play stilt walking— “bot Lean tell them I went to ride,” said he to himself. The first boy he met was Tim Snow. “ Where is Will Jones?” in- quired Frank. “Haven't you heard about him?” Said Tim. “Why he has had a |the army of Banks, and by menacing dreadfp! fall ifrowi this stilts.

The latest paper received is the Little Rock Zrue Democrat. of May 8th, which gives some intel- ligence of the Yankee invasion not hitherto published in this seectiog : Our city, during the past week, has been filled with rumors and re- ports of the advance of the Federale in Arkansas. Some pat the whole force at 20,000, others as low as 6,000. A number are coming or have cfine down White river and a larger forcedown Black river. The people in the section of country around Batesville, to the number of three ar four hundred, gathered and vave the Federals a fight near Bates- ville. The enemy were soon rein- forced, till they numbered several thousand, and the patriots were com- pelled to retire. The people are de- ficient in ammunition. If they had this and a few supplies, they would meet the enemy and drive him back. During the first few days of the week, there were 1,500 Federals with six mounted howitzers at Jackaon- port. They said that they expected supplies up White river, evidently looking at the possession of Mein phis and the Mississippi river asa foregone conclusion, The majority of the people bere seem to think that we are to be visited by these gentry. Others believe that ench a visit is contingent upon the result of the battle at Corinth, and if defeat ed there, the Federals in) Arkansas will take the back track. Except the boast of occnpying the Capital of the State, there is nothing to in- ducé them to come here. Ail the stores and army sopphes have long since been removed. There is not enoagh meat or bread stuff here to feed the people, much less an army. Since the above was written, we learn they have advanced to Searcy, in White county, where they will probably wait until supplies come up White river, or until they are re- inforeed. Searcy is distant fifty miles from Little Rock. RICHMOND AND WASHINGTON. It would appear from events in another quarter, and a lack of them here, that it was a part of Geaeral Johnston's plan to draw McClellan’s army gradually toa point near Richmond, while, at the same time, General Jackson. in the Valley, decimated Washington to place the grand army of the Confederaey in the vantage ground These operations, whether carried ont independontly or conjointly, have prov- en a success, it would seem both occurring in their details almost siinultaneonsly,— With the evacuation of Yorktown and battle of Williamsburg on the Peninsula Jackson commenced his masterly descent into the Valley; with the evacuation of Norfolk Jackson made another telling stroke; and, with the taking up of the present position of Gen. Jolnston’s army on the Chickahominy, Jackson * doubled” again and defeated the enemy at Front Royal, following it up with the capture of Winchester and the enemy’s stores. Less than three weeks ago there were not 6,000 Federal troops at Washington or its defences south of the Potomac. Washington threatened from the east would render the immense fortifications on Atlington heights valueless, while on the east there are no defences whatever, not even aredoubt. The distance from Win- chester to Washington, in a direct line via Leesburg and Alexandria, is less than fifty ' here, ib criti miles, attainable in twenty-four hours by a foreed march, such as no one knows bet- ter how to accompiish than the hero of Kernstown, Front Royal and Winchester. | We know nothing of the intentions of the two distinguished generals of the Confed— | eracy who have conducted this strategy | through its various movements to its pre sent, and it may be providential, consum— mation, but simply recall the coincidental events as they have occurred.— Rich.

In | this dark and repulsive spot the advanced | guard of the army was assailed by the most | terrible and auearthly sounds, like unto the bellowing of bulls, the squeaking of pigs, and the groans of the damued.

In 4 few hours after this engagement, | in which three hundred bull frogs and six mud-turtles were captured and sent to the rear, the Yankee army advanced steadily up the prosperous city of Ayletts, near the | head of the navigation on the Mattapoui river, The capture of this great city was the aim and object of the secret expedition, | Ayletts, before the war, boasted a popula- | tion of not less than sixty persons, and | contained three stores, a tailors shop, a blacksimith’s ebop, a post-office aud two | old groceries, besides several private resi- | denees, a tavern and a iadliner’s shop. | The exigencies of the war had closed all of | these establishiments, aud readered Ayletts | less attractive than it was when whiskey, calico, straw hats and pateat medicines were sold (here at moderate prices, The | village of Ayletis was taken by surprise | and te'l without a blow.

On Monday morning, and also yester- dav morning, several of the Yankee gun buals steamed up above the Cuy Point and etigayed in the pastime of sieliing the embankments and woods on the southside of the James river, evidently with the in- i tenuion of disclusing any of our forces hid- dev therein, Atter an hour or so’s shell- ing they dropped down stream as wise as— they came up. They are evidently engag ed iu reconuuinteriug the South side of the James river, below Drury’s Bluff, with tke intention of crossing In force. Our army, and also McCLELLAN’s, it is reported, have been resung in line of bat- Ue tur several days, but vevbing but the must favourable result need be apprchen- ded from a demonstration of the cnemy, from whatever source it comes. We mentioned the fact yesterday that the pickets of both armies on the opposite ends of the Meadow Bridge frequently ex- changed the papers of Richmoud and the North. ‘The way in which it is done isin this way, which it will be perceived oftor- ded thetn no opportunity of communica- tion. his arms, walks to the centre of the bridge and drops a paper, and sometimes sume tobacco, to be exchanged for a Northern paper and the equivalent of the tobaceo in coffee.

Though Fort Pillow and Memphis have been given up to the enemy asa consequence of the ; evacuation of Corinth, it does not follow that the entire control of the great Mississippi is to be surrendered to the enemy. Our authorities have established a “breakwater” at Vicks- | burg, Miss., whice it 1 confidently asserted will prove able to withstand the assaults of the ene- my, either by land or water. The enemy’s Yonbouts have made several attempts to shell out our batteries at Vicksburg, but were in each (nstance compelled to withdraw ufier receiving ove or two shot® from our guns. The Vicks- ” says that our works at that place © are constructed by the highest military science ; our officers ate brave, vigilant and competent; and our ganners are skillfaland ac- curate. The location of our works is such as to give us the advantage of a plunging fire up- on the vessels fn every position, while their ele- vation secwres them againg any damage from theenemy. Fort Heary. Island 10, Fort Jack- s0n, St. Paillip, avd the batteries at Chalmette were all on low ground and partly under water, which gave the advantuge of elevated position te the gunboats. Here the case is differe nt— the batteries can neithet be shelled out nor can they be stormed by the close approach of the veseels. No force, however large, could effect a landing within range 6f our guns, and no oth- er avuiluble tanding place ean be found within thirty miles; und our land forces are every where prepared for euch an emergency. “We are not making a vain boast of our abil- ities, (says the “ Citizen,”) but we draw our conclusions from actual observations and expe- rience, and we are now beginning to feel per- fectly eafe in asserting that Vicksburg cannot be takew.

Some Southern vewspaper readers have been cheered of late by reporta in’ North ern papers of “conservative” demonstra- tions in Washington city and io several of the free States. They see, or nnagive they see, the most favourable intentions, and even results, in the late address of Vallan- digham, Voorliees, and other Northern members of Congress ; which address tras already been presented to the Southern public in outline, if not in detail, through the colomns of this Journal. | We are compelled to regard all the late |‘ conservative” movements in the North iv |alwht entirely different from that in whieh {they are viewed by these Southern men | who are pleased to hear of them. We feel ee In asserting, with the wimost positive: | | | { ness, that they are desivucd to crush out the Southern Confederaey and to re-estab lish Northern rule throughout the eatire lanits of the old UCuion. Indeed, this is the avowed object of all the conservative movements in the free States, so far as we | are advised of them. Even the address of the Northera “ Democratic members of | | Congress,” prepared by Vallandigham and | Voorhees, and ened by the boldest ene | mies of the Lincoln Administration in the Federal [Louse of Representatives, assumes jthat the Union is sull in exisience, aud j that its perpetual preservation is the para | mount object of all true patriots North aud | South. We find bot hitule in that address jo commend it to Southern favour or sym- pathy. Its authors are really intent apon the annitilation of the Confederate Gov- fernmect, or else they have not the nerve lo express their true sentiments, They stronuly denounce the Liacoln Administra- lion, not becnuse it has made war upon the South, but because it bas not conduct- ed that warjudiciously, enconomically and properly. ‘They vive the Democratic ofti- cers and soldiers uf the Northern army the credit and tie glory of the victories achiev- ed over tha “rebels” of the South. They say,in almost so many words, that the on- ly practical way to put down the rebeRion and to reestablish the Federal authority over the entire Suonth is to have the Black Republicans turned out of power and them selves turned in, We can place no other Interpretation upon the lanpuage of their i address No man inthe Southern Confederacy should yive the slightest eountenande to the ‘idea that oor cause is to be advanced, in auV | i wise, by the movements of pulitical parties | | in the free States.

The steamer Minho arrived at Nassan from Charleston on the 12th, takiag out the news of the Chickahominy fight, which created no little mterest among the island- ers. A Nassau correspondent of the New York Herald writes : Five British steamers are now tying at Cochrane’s anchorage, ten. miles East of Nassan, all laden with contraband carges, and awattmg events.

The Confederate steamers (under the British fag) Kate, Oe cile, Stettin, Nellie; and Nassau, left on the 2ist, clearing for St. Joho, New Brans- wick. They were all painted a light lead color, almost the hue of the Guif stream waters, even to their smoke pipes. A letter dated Nassau, N.

The Memphis Appeal, now pu fished at Gre- nada, Mississippi, suys that the wuthorities in this city have received information that Holly Springs was occupied by # considerable force of the enemy on the night of the 18th. They made their appearance suddenly, without any previous warning to the citizens, and, of course, much con ensaed. The provost metshel was einnig. the 'prieonere taken. A train was about ready to leave for the South at the time, n which many gitizens atteinpted to take refuge for the purpose of escaping. The crowd was fired upon, and Liettenaut Hall, of the Confederate States army, afd others. were killed. A paiafal,romour bas prevailed ali duy that among (he, number was our esteemed friend General @ B. Bradford.

ANOTHER INVENTION OF FEDERAL OPPRESSION. The Lincoln Congress, it appears, hus inven- ted a new oppression for the South. Tis a law lately enucted by Congrers for the collec- Uion of direct axes in such Southern States as the Yankee troops may overrun, and will be operative so far us they may be able to enforce it at the point of the bayonet. This infamous edict provides for the sule of real estate iu certuin cases for the payment of taxes, where owners have abandoned their land to engage in the revolution, and the same shall be struck offto the United States at vendue. The commissioners proposed to be appointed may lease the same under such regulations as will secure proper aud reasonable employ- ment at wages or upon shares of the crops of such person or families ax may be residing on the land. “Phe proceeds of the leases and sales are to be paid into the treasury, oue foarth ot which isto be puid over to the Governor of a Stute wherem such lands ure situated, or his authovized agent.

This stream has ite source in Fayetle county, Virginia, running through Russell and Scott counties in the same State; then passing into Hancock, Anderson and Roane counties of Tetunessee on to Kingsion, where it empties into the ‘Tennessee river. For the most part it passes equidistant from Big Creek and Cum- berluud Gup, und the city of Kuoxville. It runs through a rough aud mountainous country.— Big Creek Gap is about fifty-eight miles from Khoxville and Cumberland Gap opwards of | sixty—the former being west of the litter — The nearest point of the Clinch river to Knox- ville is about sixteen miles, at Clinton, near its confluence with the Tennessee. The river offers great advantages ut the lo- cation of present operations. We have never yet succeeded in drawing the enemy out into | Powell's Valley, which stretches for miles along | the base of the Cuinberland Mountain. We will now probably succeed by our new line of defence in drawing them out from their dens inthe mouitams far enough to secure the op- portunily to a fair battle. In this respect we must be gainers by the evacuation of Cumber- land Gap, which, although it was a very for- midable position in itvelf, was of no value to us as long us there were a neamber of gaps below it, whieh were open to the unobstructed pas- sage of cavalry and infantry. We have now the opportuyity of drawing the enemy on the the plains, and taking him away from his meun- tain fasinesses, where it hus been impossible to provoke him torfight.—Rich. Examiner.

McClellan bas established his | headquarters, At one point on the march | the Confederates were within 600 yards of | Hampstead, and it has since been ascer- | tained that at the very time they passed, in rear of the enemy’s lines. ling at dinner, The only troops near were | his usual body guard, numbering not more hundred cavalry.

It is better probably that we missed this high game, as in the event of his capture, the | Yankees would bave had a fine excuse for | the terrible thrashing which we are about to inflict on them.

M"—Box 86. 5° oe eee GENTLE WORDS. BY MINERVA. When, far froin the dear home of our chiidhood, we hear a kind good- night, or a gentle expressed wish for our welfyre, how fast come before us the menories of the past—memories that have perhaps been long buried in oblivion. Our early friends come circling around us like the spirits of dreaw4und, aud ‘the stranger-face | becomes a talisman for good that none but one far from his home cau realize. When sorrow overwhelins the son! —when bright hopes and joyous af- tections have been crushed beneath the Juggernauut car of oppression, even then with a pleasent counten- ance be mirrrored ip the stricken heart, and kind words fiud there an echoing chord. Kind words!—they are the bright sunshine that through the tears of childhood form a bow of promise lovely as the first bow of heaveo.— They are a healing bali to the woun. ded spirit—they take from the dre; of life their bitterness, and soften edge of rebuke, that its sting does not rankle in the soul. When the heart has been lacerated by the thor- ny ills met with in the prond world, how gentle words will soothe the ir ritated spirit! They come bearing on their wings perfumes from the flowers of frierdship and love. Give geutle words to the avgry— for ‘a soft answer turneth away wrath. Gentle words to the timid, re re “and the bleesing will returv to your ows bose tentuld. Kind words 5 to the oldy fur surely they have en. dured enough of lifes’ its Kind words to the young—cast not the shadow of a disconsolate spirit over | their pathway—it will be dark | enongh at best. Kind words to the erring——the reproaches of guilt must be fall hard erough to bear, and | harsh words will never win them " | | | the ways of truth. Speak gently to all: asinile is more precious than rubies, and evsts nothing but what it amply repays, Kind words, well- ing up from the heart, like a spring of wator on the hill-side, spread beanty around, nourishing that love- ly flower, a meek and quiet spirit, from whose chalice acceptable in- ceuse arises to Divinity. TEMPTATION. ut Little Cary, a bright-eyed cheer- | fol virl, six years old, was gazing up on some pretty looking scissors 1n a glass case; at lenth an urgent re- quest was nade to’ mother tor a pair, “No, Cary dear, by and by; a iittle older, and you shall.” A few days after Cary was observed by her mother looking at the scissors wist- fully. Satan ie tempting yea! Did not mother say no?” In the course of a few days the child was left alone in the shop, and was drawn to the glase | case. The mother overheard her saying, “Go away, Satan; don’t you know it is very wicked of you to temp me, when mother said 1 was not to have apy ?” DEATH OF A CHILD ONCE Rev. A. D.
