J.J.BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. From the Sequatchie Valley.—From Major Bridgeman,who has just reached Knoxville from Se quatchie Valley,we learn that‘the enemy,in their late advance up the direction of Huntsville,by Jasper,ar- rested David Rankin,W.S.Griffith,and other prominent Southern men,making them walk in the dust at the foot of their column.They stole all the horses they conld lay their hands on,and mounted thetr infan- try,besides burning the fences around the farmers’wheat field.Their column uot exceeding 5,000 men—cominenced cross- ing Watden’s Ridge,at Anderson's Turu- pike,with their baggage and ammunition wagons,on Friday,the 6th inst,at about | zo’clock p.wm.and were crossing the mountain towards Chattanooga,A_por- tion of their cavalry remained is the Val- fey until Saturday ggorning, On Friday night fast,Col.Jas.Starnes, with three companies of his invincible cav- alry pursued a company of Federal caval- ry from McMinasville,and overtook thein just after daylight at Readyville,where they had stopped to feed.Eleven of che Feds were killed and sixty-nine captured, only three of the entire company making their escape.Col.Starnes confiscated their pistols,guns,sabres,horses,saddles,&e. {Te touk the captured prisoners back to MecMinusville,where,after making out a descriptive roll,he released them cn pa- role.The prisoners requested that,instead of the usual oath notte take up arms again until regularly exehanged,they should be sworn tot to fabt again during the war, and the oath was so adtministered.,Col. Starnes,being as generous as he is brave, returned to the Federal captain his side arms,horse and equipments,but jocularly remarked to the privates that he was un- der the aecessity of putting them with the infantry,as he bad use for their horses.— Col.Starnes,during bis present expedition, has intercepted between Huntsville and Shelbyville several trains of cotton,on their way to Lincolndom,all of which he prompt- ly burned.—A noxville Register. The Killed and Weounded.—When the full returos are received,thousand of dwell- ings will be filled with anguish of spirit for the ©loved and lost.”Tuto tens of thousands of souls will the iron enter.— God pity and comfort the bereaved !— Their hustands and sons and brothers have fallen in the path of duty—in defence of all that man holds dear. So far we have only accounts of a few | officers killed and wounded.Among them the only General officers are,our gallant North Carolinian,Gen.Pender,who was shghtly wounded in the land,and Gen.

SEVERELY INJURED. The Federal gunboat Johm Bell,which|was so severely pepperedon Friday week last,while attempting to.pasa up Janes river,in the vicinity of Tarkey (sland,by a section of French’s Battery,under the diree- tion of Col.Manning,of the Third Arkan- sas Regiment,has turned up at the North, and reports “severe injuries”sustained on the occasion above alluded to.Our boys fired 35 shots at her,(6 pounders rifled,) at a distance of 250 yards,every one of which was seen to enter,and must have passed through and through.Her decks which were crowded with sharpshooters, were cleared at the tiirst shot from the Con- federate battery,aud as they all ran below, the casualities inust have Leen numerous. |Even the pilots left the wheel,and the “John Bell”drifted slowly down the stream,with the flag flying at half-mast. This signal of distress Col.manning did not respect,as he knew it was a miserablepieceofdeception,to bave the cowardly vandals who had deserted the deck,and huddled below.—Petersbury Hxpress. AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR. It does seein strange that our troops,ev- ery vow and then,mistake one another for the enemy,and invariably when such is the case,the result proves serious.A mis- take of this kind occurred on Sunday last, about half past two o'clock,on our lines near Richmond.The Anguirer of the 23d inst.,says that the Twelfth Virginia THE GREAT BATTLE. and one of the Georgia Regiments were sent out on picket,and after proceeding some distance down the Charles City road together,they separated and pursued di- vergent routes,About the above hour, it seems,they accidently came upon one another,and each imagining that the otb- er was the enemy,poured several volleys intu one another before the mistake was discovered.It was indeed a tearful mis-| apprehension,A considerable number on each side were killed and wounded,the exact uumber we have been unable to as- certain,The Elliott Greys,of Richmond, which belongs to the Twelfth Virginia. lost,we learn,three or four killed,aod| several wounded.—Wil.Journad.-eee | WHERE DID SHE FIND THEM ?-—We are informed that a well known gentlemanof | this city had occasion two or three days ago,in the abseuce of all other meat upon | his table,to kill a goose to serve the appe |tites of his numerous family.The goose | |was killed,pick,and on being dressed,what was the astonishment of the cvok to find in the gizzard of the fowl,two bright gold |dollars?And what was the astonishment jand delight of the gentleman wheu the money was handed to him?It is a very |interesting question to discuss,how this |mother goose came into the possession of these gold dollars.And whether,like |many persons we hear of,she has been |hoarding this money up for some special emergency.At any rates,we are inform- ed there is no doubt about the above men- |tioned fact. || Petersburg Express.

To keep the track of the battles which have swept around Richmond we must have refer-ence to the principal points of locality whichtiavebecomefurmiliatintheseaccounts.It will be recollected thal it was on Thureday eve-ning when the attatk was commenced upon the enemy near Meadow Bridge.This local- ity is nbout Fix miles distudt from the city,onafinealmostduenorth,This position was the enemy's extreme’right.His lines extendedfrumhereacrossthehickahominy,newr thePowhiiecreek,two or three miles Bove the ciossing of the York River railroad.From Meadow Bridge to this railroad the distaace along the Chickahominy on the north side is about ten miles.The different stages between the points indicated,along which the enemy were driven,are Mechaniceviile,about »mile north of the Chickuhominy ;further on Beaver Dam creek,emp'ying into the Chickahominy 5 then the New Bridge road,on which Cold Hur- bour is located;and then Powhite creek. where,it will be recollected,the enemy was pursued ufter having been driven from his strong position behind Braver Dam ervek.

INCIDENTS OF THE CONTEST-—SCENERY OF THE BATTLE-FIELDS,ETC. There appear to have been some imperfect statements as to what forces were enguged in Friday's assault on the enemy's works at Gaines’farm,where was,in fect,the great wrestle of the contest.From the best infor- mation we can obtain,it appears that General A.P Hill's division,supported by Gen.Pick- ett’s brigade,from General Longstreet’s divi- sion,made the first assault upon the enemy’s works,and were afterwards reinforced by Gen- eral Whiting’s division,when the enemy were dislodged.Whiting’s division is composed of the Fourth Alabama,Eleventh Mississiypi, Sixth North Carolina,Second Mississippi,First, Fourth and Fifth Texas,and Tenth Georgia. A hill east of Mechanicsville offered an emi- nence,from which ceuld be observed much of the progress of three days’combat;the smoke of the battle affurding the outlines to the posi- tions of the forces engaged.All day Friday and Saturday,as well 48 yes- terday,there could be seen haaging over the woods a heavy haze,welling up from the scene of the fight below,The shells often went up to a great elevation,and falling and exploding were generally harmless.In the woods be- yond Mechanicsville some of the trees,as thick around as a man’s body,are shot through and through by round shot,and the bushes are ev- erywhere cut and nipped by the bullets. Signs of human habitation,fences,and fruit trees,have been swept from the face of the country as far as our army or that of the ene- my has progressed in Hanover county, The woods and swamps are represented as full of Yankee deserters,and they could be brought in in any numbersif our troops desired to leave the regular lines and go to the front for that purpose. The farmers residing in the neighborhood of the battle-fields have,with great unanimity and patriotic devotion,responded to the de- mand for hospital accommodations,and have opened their dwellings and outhouses for the use and occupation of the wounded. Among the trophies of our victory are sev eral very fine Federal flags taken from the en- emy on Saturday and Sunday.One belongs to the **Bucktail Rifles,”of the Eleventh Penn- sylvania Reserves,und two others to the 4th New Jersey regiment Around Mechanicsville the houses had been occupiad by the troops of both armies,and the scenes of desolation are very great. Throughout the whole country the houses are shattered,and nearly shot into pieces by the cannon bills of the opposing armies At Mechanicsville the explosion of a shell knocked a large house into fraginents,and hilled six men who were resting there. In Hanover county the scene of destruction is wideand appalling.At Ellie’mille the woun- |chanee,to cut off the head of a rebel and boil ded of both sides were lying through Saturday and Sunday.A great muny of the dead were picked from the canal at the mills.One poor fellow was found lying on the side of the hill with his musket beside him and aghot throughhisbreast. At Dr.Atkinsou’s farm,from whieh the en- emy bore off after the fight at the mills,the fivhting was terrific and the logs heavy on buth sides.The house of this gentleman is filled with the dead und wounded,and the enemy’s surgeons were among them,they being furnish.ed with every tucility.They lvid unattended for mex,sick,prostrated and wounded.The Yaukees have their hospitals in the woods.and thousands are lying around under the attention of theit surgeons.Amputation is going on at all times,but the green feaves furnish great re lief to the wounded.‘The demand for coffins ie gv yreat that seme of the houset were torn dewn on the route to make Coffinsfor the dead. Some fifty bodies were taken out of the ca- nal at Gaines’mills.Overfive hundred horsee were lost belonging tothe severul butteriee,aud their carcases are now infecting the air. Among the prisoners tuken yesterday wus Mr.Thomas Coates,proprietor of the York- shireman’s Newspaper,Yorkshire,Englund, whore arrival in this country we not ced wever- al days ago.He arrived on MeClellan’s lines not loug since to report the progress of the war for the Loudon press.He is at one of the city prisons. To the list published yesterday of the con- spicuons dead who have fallen upon the field, we have to add the nume of Colonel Robert Wheat,of Louisiana.He received a mortal wound in the head in the fight at Gaines’mille, and expired on the field.Colonel Wheat earn-ed a famous name at Manassas,where he was severely woanded and where his Louisiany but- talion achieved some of the most conspicuous distinctions of the day. A YANKKE LETTER—THE SKULLS OF THE REBELS. We have seen the usual number of curiosi- ties from the battle fields in letters,&@c.We content ourselves in the way of ‘curiosities” with the following extract from the letter of a strong-minded female of Philadelphia on the sulject of rebel skulls.This femole phrenolo- gis)wishes to experiment upon the skulls of the Southern people.For flippancy and fiendish- ness the proposition of this she-demon »ppears to match the amuxements of Od Nick himself. She writes:‘Tell friend Carlton,if he getga it five hours,so that all the flesh may come off readily.aud then sawithe skull in two from front,and he will find the uneveuness of the cireumatauce by which an enemy with thtee divisione in his front had effected at least’stemporaryescapefran«postion in which it”~paramount object of the cuntest to holdim. The last accounts we have of the stiuation of the enemy,and which we gui reconmend to our readere as reliable,leave no doubt (kat his °retreat hus been intercepted.We are able tostatepositivelythatwehavefurcesbetweenhimandtheriver,including General Holmes’ command of fifteen thousand men.It.is also certuin that Gen.Jackson crossed the Chicka- hominy yesterday morning,and that the rein body of McClellan's forces is on this side of theChickahominy,in Charles City county,wherebisretreathasbeenintercepiedandhehae agaiu been challenged to battle.The condi- tion of the enemy excites hopes of a most fa- vorable result to our arme.Tuformation of the progress ofour urms yes- terduy were meegre on account of the move- ments being conducted further away fiom the’ city. It was stated by persone who left our limes yesterday afternoon that geveral fighting wad progressing.These statements,huwever,we believe io be unreliable to the extent to which they go.There wae soure shelling sbout noon, and probably seme action m the afternoon pre-puratory to the great contest;our troops are busily marching and countermarching to effeet the complete investment of the enemy's posi- tion.. TRE LATEST FROM OUR LINES—-WESTERDAY8 BAT- TLE—POSITION OF THE ENSMY. Tre latest accounts which we cun get from the critical portion of our lines,and recommend to our readers 4s relivble,represemt that late yesterday in ehe after:oon the enemy wae in position near White Ouk Swamp;thet all the roads to the Chickahominy were in ourpoe- session,Jackson’s division baving a position as Bottom’s Bridge;that a portion of uur ferces had got in the rear of the enemy and were dri-e ving him back,and that late in the evening our forces in his front had drawn up in two lines of battle fora general action,which the enemy was endeavoring to decline.The utack wae made by General Huger un the front-of the en- emy,who was ai that time in the aughe forms ed by the intersection of the New Market and Qoaker rouds,with Generals Holmes and Ma~- groder in hit rear.After a ebort and derulto- ry contest the divisions of Gen.Longstreet and A.P.Hill was moved up,and atiacked the en- |emy with great fierceness,and the action be- came general with terrible loss on our side,but terminated with the result of driving the ene- thickness to be mostiv inside”The writer then adds some other theories,which show her to be a spiritualist as well as phrenologist.She is quite satisfied,by communications from the other world,that the rebels are at their ‘last ditch,”and that ‘dear Will,”to whom the consolationsof this strong-minded hag’s letter ure addressed,‘“will be back in Phil delphia very soon” OPERATIONS ON THE PAMUNKEY—'TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED PRISUNERS REPORTED TO BE TAKEN. A report was received here last evening that General Stuart's cavalry had succeeded in get- ting in the rear of the enemy cn the Panon- key,vear the White House,and had captured twenty-five hundred prisoners.A number of the enemy’s transports were also burved here. GENERAL MAGRUDER’S AFFAIR WITH THE ENEMY ON SUNDAY. We learn that about sundown General Ma- gruder’s division came up with the rear of the enemy and engaged a portion of his forces for about an hour and a half.After passing the enemy’scamp,on the York River railroad,our troops pushed after the ene- my,and came up with him on the Williams- burg road,a mile east of the Seven Pines,op- posite Mr.Wm.Sedywick’s farm.‘The ene- my were posted ina thick piece of pines north of the Williamsburg road,behind entreneh- ments of great strength and elaborate finish. The Howitzer battalion began the fight by shelling the woods.From the direction of the railroad,Kershaw’s brigade and other troops marched down the Williamsburg road and dash- edinto the woods by a flank movement to the left.Here the fight raged furiously until dark- ness put an end to the contest Our men latd on their arms,with the design of renewing the battle with the retarn of daylightWhenthedaybroketheenemy had again disappeared. pursuit,capturing #large number of prisoners on the way,The demoralization of the re- treating army wae attested by the large num- ber of stragglers which had left the main body, surrendering theinselves 4s prisoners to our men.Yesterday it was reported that the num- ber of prisoners taken ov,the track of the re- treating enemy amounted to several thousand. The desertyd camp of the enemy near the railrond wae filled with valuable booty.Their splendid grey canvas tents,pitched over two mites of country,were left standing in good or- der.The inilitary chests of officers,which were left in great numbers,indicated that che encampment had been occupied by Meagher’s Irish brigade,a Pennsylvania,a New York, and a Massachusetts brigade.As our men passed hastily through the camp,they helped themselves ty such articles as suited their fan- cy.There wasa variety of booty sufficient to gratify the most varied tastes. Our loss in killed and wounded in Sunday’s affair is reported to be inconsiderable—about a hundred men. MOVEMENTS OF YESTERDAY—M'CLELLAN'®RE- TREAT INTERCEPTED. Yesterday every one seemed lost and bewil- dered in theirimagipations of what had become of McClellan's army.There was no Certain anuouncement that he had vet reached the river.As the day progressed,it became known that Jackson's division had crossed the Chick- uhominy,and that there were strong hopes that Longsireet’s division would interce;t the re- treating enemy.General Holmes,command- ing division,wae eaid to be between the ene- ny and the river with a force of 15,000 men. Every effort seemed to be made by a new dis- position of our forces to repair the unfortunate Magruder’s division followed in | iny back for about a mile and a half,amd put-|ting him in a position where he will be forced |to fight in the morning with every prospectof the rout of his forces,#8 it is suppuved that our attack will be made this morning on hie frontonbuthflenks.Longstreet’s divirion is re port- ed to have been badly cut up,particularly the brigade of Genernl Andereon,‘of South Ceroli- na,and General Keinper,of Virginia.It is eup- posed that un incousiderable portion of Me- Clellan’s army may have reached James river.

It will be recollected that,after hie defeat‘at Cold Harbour,the enemy restricted to ‘fhe Richmond side of the Chickahuminy,and beav~ ing his fortified ramp .”.the ‘suuth side of ‘this river,continued his retreat towards the James. During Saturday aud Sundey our forces were busily employed in ‘feeling ’for the fugitbve enemy.On Sunday morning the divisions of Generals Hill and Longstreet crossed the'C hiek - shominy,and were,during the whole ‘Of ‘the day,moving in the hunt for theenemy.‘The disposition which was inadeof our furces brought General Longstreet on the enemv’s front imm e- |diately supported by General Hill’s division, consisting of six brigader. About four o’clock Monday afternoon,@en- eral Longstree:huving been called away,the command of his division was assumed by'Gen- eral A.P.Hill,who,with bath divisione—4hat of Longstreet und his own—eugeged the-ene- mv at a later hour in the evening. ‘The battle was thus fought underthe imme- diate and sole‘commandof ‘General -A,'P.Hill,in charge of both divisions.The ‘posftion otf the enemy was about five miles northeast of Darbytown,on the New Market road.The immediate scene of the battle was u ‘pluin of sedge pines,in the cover of which the enemy's forces were skilfully disprsed.In advancing upon the enenty,'bdtteries o sixteen heavy guns were opened updn the ad- vance columns of General Hill.‘Owr troops pressing heroically forward,had no rooner got within musket range than ‘the enemy,forming several lines of battle,potired upon them from hie heavy masses a devouring fire of musketryTheconflictbecameterrible;the sir being fill- ed with »isrilesof death,every moment having its peculiar soutd of ‘terror and every spot ite sight of ghastly destruction and horrer.It it impoasible that in'any ‘of the serfes of engage- ments which have taken place within the past few days.ared have tracked the dies of Rich. mond with fire and destruction,there could have been more desperate fighting on the pert of out troops.Never was a more glorious victory placked from more desperate and threatening circumstances.While exposed to the double fire of the enery’s batteries und his muskety we were unuble to contend with him with ar tillery But,although thur onmatched,the he roic command of Generel Hill pressed on with unquailing vigor and resistlees courage,driving the enemy before them.‘This wae acoomplish ed without artillery,there being det one batte eT aePt ’a , ry ia General Hill’e command@ ARG that belonged to Longetreet’s divie bad 0 ued with an ardoar and devotion thal few bat- tle-ftelds have ever illustrated.Step by step the enemy were driven buck,hie guns taken, and the ground he abandoned strewn with his dead.By half-past eight o'clock we had taken all bis cannon,and coatinaing tovadvance,had driven him a mile and @ half from his ground of ile. woe fo:ce@were int eivanping upon the re- treating lines of the eneary.“Ii was now «bout half past nine o'clock,and very durk.Sudden- ly;as if it had-truree from:the-heavens,@sheet of fire enveloped the front of our advance.The enemy had made another staid to feceive us, and,from the black rusees of his ‘orces,it was evident that he had heen heavily reinforced, and that another whole corps d'’armee had been brought up to contest the fortune:of the night. Line after fine of battle was formed.It wus evident that his beuviest columns were now be- ing thrown against Hill’s small command,and it might have been supposed that he would only be ailished with itsannihilation.The loss here on our side was terrible. The situation being evidently hopeless for any further pursuit of the fugiive enemy,who had now brought up such overwhelming furces, General Hill retired slowly At this moment,seeing their adversary retire, the most vociferous cheers rose alung the whole Yankee line.They were taken up in the dis- tance by the masses which for miles and miles beyond were supporting McClellan’s front.It was a moment when the heart of the stoutest commander might have been appalled.Gen- eral Aill’s situxti n was now as desperate as it well conld be,and required «courage and pres- ence of mind tu retrieve it,which the circum. atances which surroanded him were not well calculated tviaspire.His command bad fought far five or six hours without reinfurcements.— All his reserves had been brought up in the ac- tion.Wilcox’s brigade,which had been almost annihilated,was reforming in the Tear.— Riding rapidly to the position of this brigade, General Hill brought them,by great exertions, up to the front to check the advance of the now confident,cheering enemy.Catching the spir- it of their cominander,the brave,butjaded men moved up to the front,replying to the euemy’s cheers with shouts and yells.;At this demon- atration,which the enemy,no doubt,supposed eignified heavy reinforcements,he stopped his @dvance.It was now about half past ten o'clock in the night.The enemy had been ar- rested;and the fight—one of the most remark- able,long-contested and gallunt ones that his yet occurred on our lines—was coneluded with the achievement of the field under the must try- ing circumstances,which the enemy,with the most overpowering nuinbers brought up to rein- force him had not succeeded in reclaiming. One fact is very certain,and that ix that the battle of Monday night was tought exclusively by Gen.A.P.Hill and the forces under his command.General Magruder’s division did not come ap unul t1 o'clock at nivht,afier the fight bud been concluded.By orders from Gen- eral Lee,Magruder moved upon and occupied the battle-ground;Gener:|Hill’s command being in a condition of prostrafion from their Jeng and twilsome fight,and suffering in kiled and wounded,that it was proper they should be relieved by the occuption of the battle-ground by a fresh corpsd’armee. In the long and bitter conflict which Gener- al Hill had sustained with the enemy,he had driven him about a mile and a half;and,at the conclusion of the battle,although he had retir- ed somewhat,he still held the ground from which,in the early part of the action,he had driven the enemy. In looking back at the daily stages ofthe con- test on the Richmond lines.we find thatthe bat- tle has been fought by #flank movement,and that thie movement was properly commenced at Mechanicsville,where (seneral Hill first crushed the enemy without wailing for ussist- ance.Having put itself forward in this con- spicuous achievement,Hill’s division has con- atantly been used on the enemy's front at eve- ery stage of the contest from Beaver Dam and Cold Harbor to the field in the vicinity of Dar- bytown,to which no name has yet been given. It is a melancholy evidence of the achieve- ments of this Division that out of a force of 14,000 mea,with which it went into action on Friday evening Isst.it now cannot prebably bring more than 6,100 efficient men into action, The situation yesterday—No doubt of the sin- cerity of McCiellan’s Retreat. The fall effects of General Hill’s fight Mon- day night were not kuown uniil yesterday morn: ing,when it was discovered that the eneiny had taken up his line of retreat.moving now tn an oblique line towards the James river,and that for the first time there were evident indica- tions of anearnest and disastrous retreat. Up to yesterday morning there wax some dis- trust of the sincerity of the enemy’s retreat — Prisoners taken state the Yankee troops were given to understand that McClellan was not re_ treating,but only reinforcing another portion of hie lincs.But his army had become much dis. heartened,and were hourly growing demoruliz- edYesterday morning resolved all doubts as to the enemy's intention.Ee was in anxious re- treat for the James river,moving in the direc- tion to strike the river at the swamps near City Point.‘Uhe accounts we have at the time of this writing are that our forces commenced the pursuit of the demoralized enemy yesterday moruing;aud it is also reported that Stuart’s command was guarding the passes of the swamp through which he hoped to make his exit tothe river.

The calm but determined attitude of affairs, and the c inposure that has characterized the people of Richmond during the progress of the batt!-s before it for the past five days,is highly creditxble to the citizens and illusir tive of the true character of the contest.Though the gound of the battle has invaded the private cir- cles of the homes that were perhaps suffering bere:veinent,there was no alarm,no conster- nation.runving to and fio,but a firm reliance on the success of our arms and the justice of the cause.

Major-General McCall,of Pennsylvania,was cuptored in Friday’s fight by a private in Gen- eral Hill’s division,of the name of Rawlings. The General insisted upon receiving the prison- er fromthe hands of his captor,who had mod- estly retiredand was doing hisdaty in the ranks when the distinguished prisoner was escorted to to the presence of Gen Hill by an officer. Be-ides General WeCall Brigedier General Meade was captured here.General McCall is at the Spotswood Hotel. Some of the artillery captured was brought into Richinond yesterday,with wagon loads of muskets and storesTwoofthecannon were curious looking enough,4 revolving rifle,and very light,intend- ed to be loaded and handled with great rapidity. We are yet without sufficient intelligence of the battles tv calculate the sacrifice of human life,but we are assured by persons from the fields that it is very great,exceeding that of wny battle,or ceries of battles,yet fought. As yet,bat a portion of the wounded have bern brought into Richmond,on account of the distance andthe much better instant accommo- dations afforded by the green and shady woods and abuudance of water. We nearofvarious exploits in the capture of Yankee prisoners,in wh ch large vumbers of them have been taken by the audacity of our men.Mr.John M.Spencer.a clerk in the Richmond post-office,engaged as a volunteer in ove of the Virginia regiments in the fights at Gaines’mills and Cold Harbour,and signalized his service by the capture of a Yankee captoin. We also hear astory of three Texans,coming upon a body of two hundred Yankee stragglers and taking thetn all prisoners by frightening them with the story that Jackson,with a “black flag.”had cut off their retreat,and that if they would submit their captors would take them into Richmond without the risk of losing their heads.Many of the poor devils,no doubt are anxious to reach a haven of safety in the Richmond prisons. The Fight at Gaines’Mills—an Officers state-| ment. There have been many confused and contra- dictory statements of the forces engaged in the assault on the enemy’s works near Gaines’ mills on last Friday.We have received the fol- lowing statement from an officer on the subject of this doubt : ‘At about two o’clock on Friday evening last Lreached the lines of the en my’s entrench- ments near Gaines’mills.A fierce struggle was then going on between A.P.Hill’s divis- ion aud the garrison of the line of defence.— Repeated eharges were made by Hill’s iroops, but the formidable character of the works,and murderous volleys of grape and canister from the artillery covering them,kept our troops in check. “It was about halt-past four o’cloeck when Pickett’s brigade caine to Fill’s support.Pick- ett'’s regiments fought with the most determin- ed valour.At five o'clock Whiting's divisiou, composed of the ‘O.d Third’and Texan brig- adex,advanced at a ‘double-quick,’charged, them,routed them,aud captured their artillery. “Tire struggle was brief,but,perhaps,the most bitterof the war.Fully one-foarth of the entire division were cut down in this gallant charve. “The brave Texune were led by Brigadier- General Hood.and the ‘Old Third Brigade’by the dashing Colouel Law,late commander of the Fourth Alabama. ‘©The works carried by these noble troops would have been invincible to the bayonet had they been garrisoned b men. “Whiting’s division is compused of Hood's brigade—First,Fourth and Fifth Texas and Vighternth Georgia,and Col Law's brigade— Fourth Alabama.Second and Eleventh Missis- sipp!,and Sivth North Carolina. *<f mention these reciments because their name will be historical.” Latest from the Lines of the Enemy's retreat —Dispatch from President Davis.

From the Richmond Examiner,July 3d. The Battles Aronnd Bichmound—The Enemy fn Retreat—Yesterday’s Situation. CONTINUATION OF THE ENEMYS RETREAT. The last accounts which we published yes- terday of McCle}lan‘s situation afforded anoth- er display of the evergy of this commander and the dexterity uf his retreat.Tuesday morning had given unmistakable indications that his paramount anxiety was to secure his retreat,and to extricate himself from a positionin which, cul off from any new source of eupplies,hewouldbecompelledtocapitulate,or to fight ander the certyinty of an overwhelming defeat. There is no doubt that the enemy so far has managed his retreat with great spirit and judg- ment,and tha!as late as Tuesday evening the stand he made near the Charles City road was the occasion of hard aad critical engagement. The ranksof the fagitive enemy had maintain- ed their organization,and were covering the rear of their retreat with a zeal that must havebeeninepiredeitherbyexcellentdisciplineor extreme desperatioa.Siuce the evemy has left his fortified camp on the south side of the Chickahominy.taking up his line of retreat towards the Jaines river. he has been favoured by a country consisting of dense wood and swamp,which hasaff rded him cover,and which is ill adapted for military operations.The difficulty has been to find the enemy in this intricate country which is sv fa- vourable to his retreat. THE BATTLE OF TUESDAY EVENING. We have some intelligence of the battle of Tuesday evening,which.despite the distrust which yesterday prevailed in the streets,shown that the evemy was again discomfited and aud pushed fiom the field of battle,and that another addition was made to our daily succes- sion of victories,alihough purchased with difhi- culty and at great cost of lifeTheenemyhadsucceeded in obtaining a strong position with a line of batteries on the crest of the hill wherete was posted.He wasattackedbyJacksononhisrightflankandMa- gruder on the centre—Longstreet’s division be- ing beld in reserve.The hues were not fully engaged until about six o’clock in the evening, from which hour until about ten the baitle rag-ed with unexampled fury.Magruder’s division is reported to have been terribly cut up.a por- tion of his command having suff-red in an at- tack made in very inadequate force on oye of the enemy’s batteries,which wus supported bytwoheavybngades.Jackson had succeeded, after a conflict of several hours,in taking all of the enemy’s batteries on bis front,consist ng of eighteen guns,and the action closed with our wdvance In‘possession of the battle-field. Our loss is reported to be large,the onset at the batteries in which they were taken and re-taken,but finally remainedinourpossession, having bern furious und protracted.As the enemy fell back,however,their loss,-as on ev- ery occasion of their retiring,wasterrible.Our reserves were not brought into action,which. assure the fact that the enemy was worsted,and the ground gained which he had so long contested.The Yankees are said to havefoughtforiouslyandwithunexpettedspirt THE SITUATION YESTERDAY MORNING—THE ENEMY WITHIN TWO MILES OF THE RIVER. Yesterdsy morning it was perceived that the enemy had again progressed a short distance on the line of his retreat,and up to 11 o’clock there had been no renewal of the fight. The situation,as it then siood,represents the enemy within two miles of the river,and that the shells of his gunboats were falling within our advance lines.A large number of trans- ports were in the river at different points, among them the Vanderbilt,and it appears to be probable that these forces are a portion of Burnside’s command.The rumours,however, of the enemy’s operationson the river are vague and contradictory. The direction which McClellan’s retreat to the river has assumed is to Curl’s Neck,little north of City Point,on the opposite bank of theriver,and where a bend of the stream makes a narrow neck of Jand.At the time of this writ-ing,howevet,we hear it stated that he hus|been diiven below this point of contaet with the river,which,if correct,will be fortunate news. THE MOVEMENTS OF YESTERDAY—THE MAIN BODY OF THE ENEMY ENCLOSED BY OUR LINES—DES- PERATE SITUATION OF THE ENEMY. We have accounts of the position of our lines yesterday,which we nuy recommendto our readers as reliable,and which give the impor- tant intelligence that the miin body of the en- emy’s forces has been cut off from the river and has again been enveloped by our lines On Tuesday evening the enemy’s position, when the engagement took place,was south of the Quaker road,not far from the house of Mr Gathright.It is sapposed that,in the night, the enetoy had attempted to retreat tothe riv- erin the direction of ‘Purkey island,but find- ing the ground bad,and his progress impeded j by aswamp,had turned towards Curl Neck, beyond which his columns had been pushed, |hoping te make some landings higher up the river.From this direetion the main body of )the forces has been driven back,and is now eu- |closed hy our lines. |A reference ta the courses of three roads— |the numes of which have frequently vecurred in the accounts of the progress of the contest J souch of the Chickuhominy—the long Bridge, |the New Market and Quaker roads,will show j that they enclose a triangular space.In this (space it appears from the best accounts we |have,and are willing to trust to our readers, |about fifty thousand of the enemy have been !enclosed,our troops commanding the three roads,and cutting them entirely off from com- munication with the river.- The triangular space referred to is a piece of low land,heavily timbered with thick ander- growth—a portion of the Carl Neck estate, owned by Mr.William Allen.ft is known as a swainp,although the ground has not alweys that character.[tis a ground,however.that in wet weather catches all the rain,and is rea- dily converted into a morass. from e en 'ya De ate 2 covering the af trea A lellagtearmy.,The deteile of ifforination®thetiveraére-doubtfel ;but¢! ne *‘¥ = mie FoDpaelock,yestet y ing boo at little fightin Jnpolpnces the »addiiig to'the discomfort tHeipemy, |the embarrassment of his sitfation,wWiich by thie time muri be extreme and terrible on ac- count of scarcity of provisions. It js considered not improbable that a portion of MeClellun’s forces succeeded Tuesday night in toiling their way ‘o the river in the vicinity of Turkey Island.‘The bulk,however,of his duninished and scattered forces,at least to the amount of forty or fifty thousand men,is still held in:check and cut off from communication with the river. The shelling of the enemy’s guuboats is re- ported to have continued with but little inter- ruption since Tuesday,but to have done us no considerable damage,the shells falling quite as often within the enemy’s lines us our own. MISCELLANEOUS—THE WOUNDED—OUR LOBB,ETC. Owing to the number of wounded requiring hospital room anc the number of prisoners be- ing brought in daily from the lines.the city is beeoming very crowded.We would suggest that there are tents in town,and that the isl-ande in James river falls would make most ex-cellent camping grounds,where,owing to the rapidity of the river,the prisoners could be guar- ded by a comparatively small number of senti- nels,‘Mhis dispusition of the Yankee prisoners would atford more room for our wounded,and wottld place a!their disposa!a number of fac- tories and large buildings now used as prisons. We have it on the authority of those who asgisted on the field that our loss in the actionofTuesdayamountedtobetweenthreeand four thousand,kiVed and wounded.Two trains of four hose wagons,und muny private vehi- cles,reached the city about noon yesterday, with their freight of wounded.They were dis- tributed among the various hospitals. At the White Ouk swamp,out of which numbers of the wounded had to be carried in the arms of the assistants,many of the wag-ons got into the mire;some stuck fast,and others were overturned in the efforts to extri- cate them.Meanwhile the butile raged in the distance., Among the vehicles bringing in the wounded yesterday were several of the fine ambulances, marked *U.S.”captured from the enemy.— They are water-proof,and mounted midway on two wheels,with springs,and are indeed a luxury to the wounded.The numberof woun- ded brought in yesterday was estimated at something over one thousand.A great many of the slight!v injured—in the arms and else- where—had their wounds bandaged on the field,and walked ‘ack to the rear,where they met conveyances. It was remarked yesterday that too manypersonsanxiouslyawaitedinthecitythearri- val of the wounded instead of going on the field with vehicles.and assisting in bringing off asmany of the suffering as possible.Lustanres are told of three or more persons going on the field in a hack taking in one of the wounded, and monopolizing on the way back the seats that might have accommodated three others. THE LATEST. We have accounts from our lines as late as nine o’clock Jast night.No fighting of conse- queuce had taken place during the day.In his retreat Tuesday night the enemy abanconed some of his artillery,and a large quantity of stores ‘Twenty-three transports are reported in the river. McClellan’s army succeeded in reaching the river at sume of the landings below Turkey island. THE LATEST NEWS. From the Charlotte Bulletin. THE BATTLE CLOSED. McClellan’s Army Routed! OUR VICTORY COMPLETE! Ricneonp,July 4.—Owing to the remote- ness of the fugitive army it is very difficult to obtain information of the situation of affairs. Various rumors are afloat,but none can be traced to a rehable source that McClellan's army has been completely routed,and while a portion inny have eseaped in transports,large numbers will be captured. Oar Victory is complete. Mostce,July 4—Four thousand Yaukees, advancing South,7 miles from Holly Springs, were attacked yesterday by Jackson's and Pin- son’s cavalry,1500 strong.After a sharpcon- test the Federals were routed and driven back to Holly Springs,which the Confederates oecupied. Our toss is four killed and several wounded. Tne Federal loss is severe.Intelligence from Arkansas says that Cartis,Fed.is hard pressed by Hindman and Rains.His capture 1s consid- ered certain. The Federals are slowly bombarding Vicks- burg.as yet without effect. James’Island,near Charleston,has been evacuated by the Yankees. THE CONSCRIPTS.

Little Bob,is only six years old— a bright eyed,smart little fellow, who never tellsa lie.It matters not how mach tronble it may get him inte,he confesses the whole trath, whatever it may be.Some times (for he is as full of mischief as a kit- ten)he will get into a scrape when he means no harm by it either.If Lizzy,with her soft,yellow carls, happens to sit near him,and Miss Kitty his teacher is engaged,he will give one of them asly pull and then look down as demurely on his long line in the spelling book as if he had never thought of any thing else.— But if Lizzy complains and Miss Kitty ask,who pulled Lizzy’s hair? Bob will be sure to exclaim “ine,” thoagh he will have to stand in the floor an hour for it. The other day he was very busy in the yard digging a well at play time,and Henry would every now and then slip up behind him and give him a little push in the shoul- der,which would topple him right over ou it.Now Bubby stood this quietly sometime,but when Henry woulda’t stop,1 am sorry to say Bob struck him.Then Annie,who has a fashion of trying to keep all the rest of the children straight,ran in and said,‘Miss Kitty,Miss Kitty, they aint all lambs out yonder.— Bobby is a goat;he’s fighting ;— And that made the little teacher so sorry she sent him out of the flock till he should lose his horns and be a lambkin again.So she went up to Bobby and said,‘has my little boy been fighting.”Now Bobby was very much ashamed,and would have liked very munch to have said ‘no,bat he did not;he only hang down his heada little and then said ‘Yes,mam;I struck him cause he kept a bothering me;but I wont do so again.’And then you know the little teacher could not punish him much. Another day Bobby was ‘head,’ and he was,oh!so anxious to stay there,and might have done so,but was too honest to tell a lie—the dia- mond was shining too brightly on hiskeart.Miss Kitty gave out ‘par- liament’to the class and she thought Bobby spelt it right,but Eugenia said he left out the ‘a’and spelt it herself and was going up,bat Miss Kitty said,‘no,’Bobby did pat in the ‘a,’‘no,mam,I didn’t’said little Bob;true,Genia is right ;’80 he lost his place,and as I told you just now the diamond shone brighter than ev- er,for it had caught a ray of heav- eply light;and Bobby’s face was brighter than the diamond.Now don’t you all think he deserves the name of **Little Bob True!”—JZ.C.| Presbyterian. CHILDSHOOD'S TRUST. ASEKETCH. BY KATE BAR@LAY. “Sina,cousin won’t yoa?”“What shall I sing,darling ?”“Happy Jand!” SoI sang to little Minnie,until welcome sleep brought blank forget-falness.Dear little Minnie!She had been violently sick that day.—In the morning her cheering lips,so kisses,grew purple with sudden cold —her rosy cheeks turned white,her dimpled fingers clasped tightly the warin hand of her watchful mother, ae she pillowed that aching head up- on her bosom,and pressed the little shivering form to her heart.But sicker she grew and colder,as thatagne-chill crept steadily on.length it passed over. lips,brighter than before;roses again painted themselves on her round cheeks,more brilliant and At| The bright| rich red came back into her full| and beantifal than ever.But the largeeyesclosedlanguidly,and the blue-veined femples throbbed beneaththelightesttouch.Burning feverwasuponher,and restressly sherolledfromsidetoside,constantlychanging—now in her “little crib,”now on “*mama’s big bed,”and now,swayed to and fro,softly cradled on an anxious heart.No ease,no sweet-ly drawn,quiet breath,no sense ofcoolnessstealingoverthatthrobb-ing brow.Cousin took mama’s place awhile,and gently rocked the sufferer.*Dear Minnie,what can we doforyou?”Lisping'y came the murmured an-swer—“Sing,Cousin,won’t you!py land !”Then,low and quietly,I sung those cheering words and sweet notes children love so well,until slumberstoleuponher.But it was a rest- less,troubled slumber,and,as the tones ceased,again she murmured— “Sing,cousin,wou’t you?Hap-py land!”So the song was repeated antilthesenseswerelulledinasleeptoo profound to be lightly broken. Darling Minnie! [er’s has beenahappylife.Not three summers has she numbered,no sorrow hassheknown,and cheeringly the rain- bow-hues of hope shed their lustre over every thonght.Cradled in a loving mother’s arms,a father’s hand laid tenderly upon her upturn- ed brow in daily blessing,an elder sister to take her confiding hand and gently lead her in all the flowery pathsofsunny childhood,light-heart- ed,merry little brothers,prond ofdarlingMinnie,and ever ready with their sports and toys to gladden heryounglife.What could she know but love,and happiness and hope?How deeply she slept.Weboped the fever would soon abate,and nurse sat near and gently fanned her precious charge.But searce had we turned away,to leave her awhile in quietness,ere came the thrilling cry—- “Come quick! fit !” Hap- Minnie is in a ed down fg As the evaporationpro-,greeses,e@lt will be formed at the bottomofthepanorkettle,and as thisretardsthe evaporation,it can be ladied out and drain-ed,the draiaings returned to the kettleandthesaltepreadoutoncleanvéseelstodry,while the boiling must be cdntinueduntilthewaterisnearlyevaporated,whenthesaltmayberemovedanddried.In this way,Salt equal to the finest table salt inay be made from the most impure brine. A saturated solution of salt contains about one fourth,by weight,of salt;consequent- ly,a gallon of brine should yield one and a half to two pounds of salt.This process could be advantageously employed,in fa- milies,even with salt at the old prices.— Salt from springs and that leached from earths,decomposed sand stone,&c.,con- taining organic matter,of which there are several localities in Chatham county and other parts of the State,may be parified by the process given above for brines. Earth from-amoke houses may be leach- ed and treated in the same manner.The process is perfectly simple;the only care required ig that the burning is sufficient, (salt is not injured by heat,)and the strain- ing neatly conducted,and all the vessels used,kept clean.E.EMMONS,Jr. GOOD FROM WESTERN VA. The Lynchburg Republican learns,from reliable authority,that a guernila party attacked and destroyed Cox’s train of wag- ons,on Sewell Mountain,a few days ago, capturing all the wagons,(loaded with pro- visions,which they burnt,)also capturing the horses,and routing a party of Yan- kees with severe loss,who came to see the whereabouts of the train.They also de- stroyed Wirt Court House,and the oil wells that were in possession of the Hes- sians,Thirty citizens of Cabell countyjoinedGen.Loring’s comman |a few days ago,and they represent that there is a considerable reaction in our favor in that whole country.

We have intelligence from our lines yerter-day,which,coupled with the impressions that aregiven in official circles,leave but liitle duubt tha€itis intended to assault the enemy’s posi- \ioh.There are reports of movements of troops, w which,of course,we ace not at tiborty to re- fer;but we are led to believe that the rumorswhithworecirculatedinthestreetsyesterday of the fight are premature,and that some con- siderable elaboration will be necessary beforesheenemyisagainassaulted. On Sunday afternoun the first company, Captain Squires,of the Louiriaua Arcillery, succeeded in passing around the enemy's post tion and getting his rear,avd tire upon his iramsports in the river,ut a distance some eipht miles below our lines.Oui of thiuty shots fired six touk effect,badly injuring alarge paereuger transport.This explo has demonstrated th tnot of passages to the enemy’s flink and rear and the pussibility of his communication with the river below being cutoff. Congratalatery Address of the President. The following is published to the army by aathority : Ricumonn,July 5,1862. To the Army in Eastern Virginia: Soldiere:I congratula‘e vou on the series of brilliant victories which,under the favor of Di- vine Providence,you have lately won,und as the President of the Confederate States do heartily tender to you the thanks of the coun- try,whose just cause you have so skilfully and heroically served.‘Ten days ugo an invading army,greatly superior to you in numbers and the material of war,closely beleaguered your eapital and vauntingly proclaimed its speedy Conquest;you marched to atiack the enemy tn his entrenchments;wit §well-directed move- ments and death-defying valour you charged upon him in his strong positions,drove him from field.to field over a distance of more than thirty- five miles,and,despite his reinforcements, compelled him to seek safety ander cover of his gunboats,where he now,lies cowering be- fore the army so lately derided and threatened with eatire subjugation.The fortitude with | which you have berne toil snd privation,tbe gallantry with which you have entered intoeachsuccessivebattle,must have been wit- negaed to be fully appretinted ;but «grateful | people will not fail to recognize your deeds and to bear you in loved remesnbranee.Wellmay it he snid of you that you have “‘done enoughforwlory,”bat duty to u suffering country and to the causeof constitutional liberty claims fromyouyatfurthereffort.Let it be your pride to relax in nothing which can promote your fu-wre effidjency—your one great object being to drive the jnvader from your soil,and carrying your s!andurds beyond the outer boundaries of the Confederacy,to wring from an uoscropu-‘ows foe the recognition of your birthright— commianity independence. (Signed)JEFFERSON DAVIS. FROM THE NORTH. HUNTER'S NEGRO BRIGADE. The New York Express,in noticing a late arrival from Port Royal,says: The news from Port Royal by the arrival todayis,that General Hunter ordered his newly-organized negro brigade to James island to joiniatheuttackthere,but that several of the offi-cers refused to go in company with mgroes,that,therefore,the project of sending thenegroeswasabandoned.‘[wo surgeons are onboardoftheEricsson,sent home by GeneralHunterforrefusingtoactusbrigadesurgeonstothenegroregiments.Two or three weeksagoseveralwhitemencameintoBeaufort painted black,and succeeded,under the prvi lege and protection of their colour,in captur-tng some of our small boats near there,andgettingoffwiththemsuccessfully. ANOTHER YANKEE LIE. The following shows how the feeling is kept up at the North: Louisvitue,July 3.—A passenger just arriv-od from the South reports thut General Miteh-rH detailed fifty-five men from different regi-ments for scouting service.‘I'hey were all cap--ared by the rebels,carried tu Atlanta,Gu.,and there hung.One of them,Robert Haftnan,formerly of Salem,Mass.,now of the3eeondOhioregiment,Colonel!Norton,mude hata et eee aa oewere:he iol ;4 3 one»hth meonds,”While onthePeninea-theif lived om but bieapit und;water for fiveiowlagithitthefibi:ocf Setescalityof some one,so that when they took up the don-ble-quick for Williamsburg the men fell on theroudanddiedfromsheerexhauetion.At thebattleofFairOakstheynumbered,fit for duty, only one hundred eighty men.One half of this number were in action,aud were nearly ull killed und wounded. THE ABOLITIONISTS AND THEIR CRY FOR THE UNION. In this war,the great cry of the abolitionists of the North has been the ‘‘Union.”The New York Journal of Coremerce has a report of a late abolition meeting held in Boston Massa- chusetts.The following extract from it shows how false are their professions of devotion to the ‘Union,”and that their great object of thie war is the overthrow of slavery and the subjugation of the South: **Aaron M.Powell said the great bulwark under which slavery had hitherto sheltered it- self he reoognized ne shattered.The Union is broken—the disruption is complete.WiththeUnionbeganaduwnward.demorulizing ca- reer for the nation.Even Mr.Buffum,yes- terdxy,could offer all his support to the Presi- dent in his present position It was another sud proof of the painfu lresults of the attempt to reconstroct the impussible Union.*Mr.Swassy—Do you,or do you not,sus- tain the government? “Mr.Puwell—I do not any more than Iam compelled to,1 should he ashamed to. “Wendell Phillips wished to correct a false impression possibly arising from the excellent addresses of Vr.Powell and Mr.Phillsbury.— He knew no anti-slavery body which has de- clored that the work of abolition is done,or which proposes to support the government at Washington,or to relinquish the old principles of anti-slavery.No such body has propored to eupport the government us it is.It advises, bot supports,the government. “Mr.Stephen S.Foster,in explanation of his remark yesterday,that he would fight un- der the banner of the South if Jefferson Davis should proclaim emancipation,sald that he made it froin his love of freedom everywhere, and his desire to co operate with all who sin- cerely aimed at freedom.There is no need to compare Davis and Lincoln any more than any other two slavehelders.If there were,the uniform past record of the abolitionists would place Davie above Lincoln;for if slave-cateh- ing 1s worse (as we have declured it}than slave- holding,the latter is »greater slave catcher than the former He (Mr.F)would rather take his chunces with Jefferson Davis at the lay judgment than with the President.” Another abolitionist,the Rev.Mr.Hatfield of Brooklyn,at the late meeting of the anti- slavery society in that cily suid,speaking of slavery “Evenif the nation must perish with it there must be an end of this abomination.” And upon the conclusion of his address the President responded : ‘©T wish io express the gratification with which I have listened to the speech of our C eo ,“4 x e —A 4 i,4 ‘have .4 ‘”y ,‘a gf ¢Patchman “4 Worne the hardshipsoftit catap,bat be-|~4 ie “tt E Sse the std :49g COM:4 SALISBURY.N.C.:mands though it cost the lives of hundreds oeMONDAYEVENING,JULY 14,1868.eee.cf C7 When the friends of Mr.Vance startedhimpepeecaeeteforGovernor,we should like to Know if they eu d that was to be allowed to ron areca cites kee a word suid aguinst him,yr the manner in which he was brought forward censured ?—Weetern Democrat.ao If Mr.Vance hae done or said anything for which he deserves to be censured,then censure him.Neither he nor hisfriends ever expected or desired that he should escupe jast criticiem.

Ramsay,of the Rowan Artillery,for the sight of one of the inventions of the Yan- kees for the preservation of their lives in battle,to wit:“Smith’s (Patent)Bullet—- Proof Vest,made by G.&D.Cook &Co., New Haven,Conn.”It consists of two light steel plates,formed to fit the breast, of sufficient strength to turn bullets.Itis avery complete thing,Itis one of the trophies of the battle fields befure Rich- mond,and Lt.Ramsay sends it here for the inspection of the curious.There are signs of blood on it,and we therefore sup- pose the wearer paid the just penalty of invading the territory and despoiling the homes of an outraged people. Casualties in Rowan Artillery.—We are indebted to the same source for the following list of casualties in the Rowan Artillery,to wit:Milas Ruffty,wounded in the left breast;Robert Lentz,in the head ;Abram Earnheart,right leg,ampu- tated above the knee;John Carter,am- putated between shoulder and elbow ;Jon- athan Hardister,finger broken and wound- ed in the head slightly ;Andrew Ruth,on the furehead,not dangerous;Rubt.May, contusiun on shoulder;Adam Cruse,con- tusiun on arm and leg;L.D.Ruth,con- tusion on ankle;W.H.Huff,contusion on shoulder;Ignary Schoeser,contusion on leg;Milas Parks,contusion on arin.

The Shops have been the salvation of the Road,under the direction of the Master Ma- chinist,Mr.E.H.Marsh. The Road is to have Telegraph Offices at nearly all the towns,and the freedom of the line for the use of the road,at the expense of |keeping up the poles. |We will refer to this report again. a -@p>e\|The Northern Journals make some very |awkward attempts to cover the defeat of |their grand army before Richmond.They roundly assert that the Confederates were |300,000 strong;and they bestow great praise upon Gen.McClellan for his “mas- |terly retreat,”a8 they are pleased to call |it,and for having reached a point affur-|.:‘|ding a base line of operations from whichle|(he capture of Richmend is rendered cer- |tain.Dresident Lincoln bas ca'led op the States for 300,000 more men. |———__—_70e-_____ Confederate loss at Richmond,—It is stated that the entire Confederate loss in the sever- al battles near Richmoud,lately,are ten thou- sand killed and wounded—ot which North|Carolina has lost fout thousand.‘The Yan- j kee loss is much heavier. aS SmAtEMey Sad Weitere, ree nd mannperofthe ‘7th ie.wb givme Che annGhed:description of thecountrybelowRichmondnowoccupiedby McClellan’s artny | Berkeley and Westover have,within the past thtee days,beome points ofabsorbing interest.The remount of the grand army of the North having eluded the Confedar- ate generals,and escaped from the awk.ward situation in which they sought to hold it in the swamps near Carter's mij} pond,in the rear of Shirley,has taken position,and,it is thought,will makea last desperate stand on these plantations. In this situation of affaira a description of the locality and topographical features of the enemy’s selected Thermople,will be matters of interest.We propose to give such an account of the country in the en- emy’s occupation as the baste with which newspaper articles are becesarily prepared, and the limited references within our reach have enabled us to obtain. Berkeley,now the residence of Dr. Starke,lies on the north side of James riy- er,five miles below City Point,and by the course of the river sixty five miles,but by the Charles City road not more than twen- ty-five miles trom Richmond.The build- ing,an old-fashioned brick edifice,stands upon an eminence a few bundred yards from the river,in a grove of Lombardy poplars and other trees.President Har- rison was bo:n here in 1778. The Westover plantation,long the seat of the distinguished family of Byrds,andatpresentownedbyMr.Jubn Selden,ad- joins Berkeley on the east,the dwelling- houses being some four miles apart.— Charles City Court-House is between eight and ten miles east of the latter place.It is not to be supposed the enemy has se- lected the plantations as the scene of hie last great stand without good reasons.The first and most apparent of these is,thattheWestoverlandingis,perhaps,the very best on James riter;and the stream,for miles up and down,being broad and ceep affords both excellent sea-room and an- chorage for his gunboats and transports. But this is by no means the only advan- tae of the position.On the west of Ber- keley are innumerable impassable ravines,runuing from near the Charles City road, on the north,to James river,making a successful attack from that quarter next to impossible.Within a quarter of a mile of where these ravines begin,Herring Run creek crosses the Charles City road,and running io a southeasterly direction,skirts on the north and east,the plantions of Ber- keley and Westover,and empties into Jaines river at the extreme exsiern bound- ary of the latter.The whole course of this this creek is one impassable morass,while along its northern and eastern banks es- tend the Heights of Evellinton—a long range of bills that overlook the Westover and Berkeley estates,and which offer eli- gible positions for heavy guns.It will be seen,that protected on the south by the river and his gunboats,on the west by im- passable ravines,and on the north and east by Herring creek and the Heights of Evelinton,the enetny's position presents but one pregnable point—the piece of levelcountrynorthwestofWestover,from a quarter to a half mile in width,lying be- tweev the bead of the ravines and thepointwhereIlerringcreekcrossesthe Charles City road.But it is certain that the enemy,with bis immense resources ofmenandmachinery,will,in a very brief period,obstruct by art this only natural entrance to his stronghold.Already it is within range of bis gunboats and of his siege guns planted on tbe Evelinton hills; another day may see it strewn with filled timber and bristling with field batteries. Jn enumerating the advantages secured to the enemy by bis present position,his superior facilities of transportation must not be omitted.Whilst our ammunitionandstoresmustbewagonedadistanceof nearly thirty miles,his steamers and trans-ports are running up to the very doors of his tents. If we have given the reader an idea of the topographical features of the enemy's position we have fully accomplished our object.Itis not for us to sugyest how our generals are to overcome the obstacles now presented to their advance,nor to dis- cuss McClellan’s ability to resist a seige indefinitely,now that his water communi cation is free and uninterrupted. “oe An Admission.—-We see by a specch of Mr.Saulsbury of Delaware,in the U.S. Senate,that Mr.Collamer of Vermont and Ma Crittenden of Kentucky bad admitted that the Confederate government is #gor ernment de facto.Upon this admission Mr.Saulsbury rightly contended that those who give allegiance to it cannot be pur ished for treason to the old goverament. Mr.Saulsbury was very severe vpon the ae cy : |abolitionists,whom he charged with #!! the blame of the present revolution.‘ay.Observer Mosite,July 10.—A special dispatch dated Jackson,says the enemy is tbrcwing occasional shells into Vicksburg.Gallaot city!May she bold out to the tast. truc repc two dist Nev mile deg 10¢) Ord der loya of t troo be a pub! of s TH hav of t of it tinc yoV ders imp on t caul of tl not calc info whe the orde sha! 80 fi agil Spr ene Me: ple gal the as | as| fere we of t ula thie hes Bri stat peri olas inve tain nea folle mat eatis timl rese whe ene Lov the 27t hin. the dby |thebingrmy der: awk. t to mil} aken ke a ions. rn of es of Hl be give s en- hich ared, each Dr. Tiv- the ,by wen- nild- ands ards ardy Har- seat and ad- ing-ta. ight I )80- hia The that very ,for Jeep an- orts. van- Ber- ines, oad, ga rt to mile Run and <irts Ber- into aiid- this hile eg. long over eli- 1 be the ‘im- and ;of ents evel ma be- the the that 8 of prief ural it in his ibls; Hed $. ired his nust tion e of ans- s of ,oof ny's our how cles dis- eige un sech joie and tted yore sion ose yun it. the }nil atch ALY’¢ laos Piva :gee ga ee oa euge 0 ' e ,c .made —.Oar Fy As Ricamonn,July 18,1862.

Mosiix,July 9.—Passengers by the flag of truce steanier Natchez,from New Orleans, report that the Maine Regiment,being order- ed to leave for Vicksburg,mutinied,and two of the men had to be shot before the disturbance could be quelled. The Texas guerillas are hovering about New Orleans at a distance of some eight miles, From the West.—July 11,1862.—A special despatch to the Advertiser,dated Jackson, 10th,says that Gen.Van Dorn’s General Orders No.9,placing fifteen miles contiguous to Vicksburg,and all east of Louisiana,un- der martial law are declared supreme.Dis- loyalty will not be countenanced;the credit of the Government must be sustained;seeds of discontent are not to be sewn among the troops;speculators will not be tolerated bat be arrested and fined.Newspapers will not publish movements of troops,under penalty of suspension,fine and imprisonment. THE ARMY OF RICHMOND—RU- MOURS,&c. Since fighting has ceased on our lines we have but little tv communicate to our readers of the army of Richmond,as any information of its situation position pr movement is dis- tinctly.and very properly,forbidden by the government.The people shoutd not only un- derstand and appreciate the necessity and importance of these obligations of reticeace on the part of the newspapers,but we would caution those of them who happen to know of the position or movements of our forces not to speak too freely of these matters as in- calculable arm may be done in conveying information to the eager and anxious enemy, whe is now watchiag with all his eyes for the next developinent of owe desizns.

But soon his notes grew sad, He bowed his little head, His eyes grew dim,his feathers rough, Hie mirth and joy were fled.

BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, MOVEMENTS AT RICHMOND. Falling Back.—Ricumonp, July 10,— lt has been determined to make such a disposition of our forces as to bring our lines closer to Richmond. Gen. Lee bas returned to his old headquarters, two or three miles out'‘on the Nine Mile road. A large portion of our forces will be left in the immediate front of the enemy as an army of obsef¥vation.— Lzantner, Contradicted next Day.—Rtcwsonn, July 11.—The only “falling back” that has occurred, or likely to occur, was, or will be, sitnply a modification of our front, commanding both the present and pre- sumed “ premeditated” combinations of the enemy.—Anquirer. Ricumonp, July 12.—It is probable that the enemy has received large rein torcements within the past few days, and it may be that the project of reducing Rich mond is not entirely abandoned ; but it is scarcely to be presumed that, even with reinforcements, he will make any formi- dable demoustration for some time to come. A tew days, however, will serve to devel- op lis purposes and indicate his policy.— Dispatch The Whig contains the fullest account of another exploit of Stuart’s as follows: Ou Monday and Tuesday last, the First Company Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, Capt. Squires, together with two | squadrons of Stuart’s Cavalry, made a de- tour of McClellan’s positiou, at Westover, ind proceeded down James river towards Bachelor's Point, stopping at all the inter- mediate available points, and inflicting se- rious dainage to the enemy’s transports. lhe artillery and cavalry were under the seneral control of Col. Fitzhugh Lee, the artillery details under Capt. Squires. At Wilcox’s Wharf, they gave a plunging fire ‘nto a steam transport, doing her so much injury that she had to be towed cf by a stunboat which came to her relief. A Yan- kee deserter states that from 80 to 100 med on board this transport were killed ind wounded. Changing their position to Wyanoke Neck, below Wilcox’s Whart, they open- ed fire upon another steam transport, dam- aged her severely, and caused her to throw overboard ber cargo and put back down the river. Lhe gunboats now came up and jown the river, belching forth their huge shells in the most furious yet harmless maoner. They shelled the coast right and left obliquely, and in every other way, ma- king the wouds resound and the trees fall in good style. The artillerists again chang- ed their position, Lieut. J. Gailbraith tak- ing one section of Capt. Squires’ battery to a point near Seven Mile Reach, and Capt. Squires and Capt. Rogers taking a posi- tion above, near Swynards. At these points the transports of the enemy, containing only commissary stores and arms, and no troops, passed up in considerable numbers, but convoyed by gunboats. A favorable chance presenting, fire was opened simul- taneously from the above points as the en- emy’s boats passed. From Lieut. Gailbraith’s guns a steam- tug cut loose her charge of two schooners and puffed and “skedadled” up to West- over, ‘The two schooners soon became disabled by the fire of the Washington Artillery, and the crew put off to the suuth side of the river under a “flag of truce,” or really a white pocket handkerchief. In few minutes this section of the Wash- ington Artillery was opened upon by a gunboat which came up to the resque of the almost sinking schooners. The Artil- lery held its position, the cannoniers amus- ing themselves in the blackberry bushes while the Yankee shells went “high and far away.” Our men were convinced that. gunboats are by no means so terrible as reported, particularly in such modes of at- tack, where the biuffs are high and our men in close range. At long range, how- ever, the case is different. While Lieut. Gailbraith was thus en- gaged, Captains Squires and Rogers were dealing destruction to eight transports, towed up by a gunboat. Of these trans: ports five were badly damaged, and the whole force of gunboats (three) ia this part. of the river were brought to x testof their efficiency. For hours they wrathfully expended their shells, but with no other result than raising some dust and felling some trees. After a hot time in marching and firing, the Confederates took a position still far- ther down the river towards Bachelor's Point, where they await the floating com- miesary stores, Thus in the rear and to the right of MeClellan for three days, they have bene giving bim « troublesome thne, | the seine ane! tae sae ales | both on land and water, for the cavalry were equally active in barrasaivg him at the various points they held-oa tbe river road, near Westover. About seven transports have thus far been disabled, much of their cargo lost and the enemy territied. _ “* Nobedy hurt” on our side, ‘ The Dispatch says: Our forces retired from Charles City C. H. next morning by a circuitous route, just in time to escape capture by a large force of Yankee infan- try and cavalry, sent down to cut off their retreat. From the Richmond Examiner, If subjugation were possible the achieves ment of the enterprize would cost the North several billions of money and sever- ‘al years of war; with all its outlay of blood ;and its total suspension of productive in- |dustry. At the end of the war the eoun- | try would find itself loaded with debt, pro- bably twice as great as that of the British | Empire; with its resources exhausted, its | energies spent, its industry destroyed, and ; its population decimated of its efficient el- -ement of population. Subjugation, even ‘then, would be an enterprize not half | achieved, and would be found a work con- | | stantly requiriug to be repeated. A large | | standing army would have to be quarter- ed, like Austrian troops, in every part of | the subjugated domain; and the aunual | cost of holding it would produce a taxa- | tion as great as the interest on the debt incurred in the original conquest. The country subjugated, instead of pro- | | ducing that annual fund of wealth it was | ‘wont to do under the Union, would be be- reft of its labour and incapable of coutribu- | ing, in any degree, to relieve the burden | of taxation or ty increase the resources of the conquering section. Divested of its labour, and drivea, in cousequence, to oth- | er branches of agriculture or industry, the whole property, real and personal, of the | South would be depreciated, aud would not be worth the principal of the debt incur. | red in subjugating it. Most emphatieal- ly is subjugation an enterprise that “ won't | fr pay. Tf the North had “calculated” the cost | ,of subjugation with the shrewdness cha: | racteristic of its Yankee race, it would | ‘have pursued a very different line of poli- ‘cy towards the South, after the secession | of the Southern States, from that which it | ,adopted. Even then conciliation would _bave preserved the Union. In fact, it was Lincola’s proclamation calling forth seven- ty tive thousaud meu that precipitated se- cession 1n States where otherwise it never could have been carried at all, Up tothat call, the theory of the North, that a strong Union sentiment everywhere pervaded the South. was correct; and even after that call, if Lincoln bad confined himself to de- feuding the capital and had made no ag- gressive demonstrations by word or act, much that the Yankees expected from the Union sentiment of South might have been realized. In fact, the doctrine of Mr. Buchanan, that coercion was not warrants ed by the Constitution, if it had been adop- ted and acted upon by the Lincoln admin- istration, would, in al) probability, have ruined the cause of secession in a majority of what are now Contederate States. A scrupulous abstinence, on the part of the Federal (rovernment, from coercive meastires; a quiet and stern protest against the proceeding of the seceding States; and a little waiting upon that greatest of all conservators, time; would have effected more to bring back the seceding States of the South to their former relations than all the enemy’s gunboats and imprisonments that have Leen applied to that object. ' None can deny that there was a strong Union sentiment prevailing througbout the South. None but those who, like this journal, bad to combat that sentiment, ful- ly understood its pruvalence and _ its ‘strength, It was a sentiment so wide~ spread and so potential that no arguments or persuasions of Southern men, and no proceedings that could have occurred in the Southern States, could have overcome it. It was precisely such a feeling as a lit- tle forbearance and conciliation, on the part of the North, would have soon kin- dled into active energy and spread abroad a consuming ard irresistible flame. This policy of conciliation was the one which the Democratic party of the North | universally advocated up to the period of | Lincoln’s inauguration, when its leaders | were sedttced by offers of patronage. This policy struck the mind of every candid and patriotic person at the North as obviously the proper one. None knew better that this was the true policy of the North, look- ing simply to the paramount object of pre- serving the Union, than the leaders of the Black party, which clutehed Federal power for the Gest | mous and statesmanlike. , the struggle, considered with reference to areas eer ea te scien time, after many: anxious efforts and tribue lations, on the first of Mar¢h, 1861. But that party, agaimst-every dictate of patriotic policy and reason, rejected the al- ternative of conciliation, and embarked ap~ on the policy of force: «Its subsequent ca- reer has abundantly’ disclosed the motives which impelled its, Teadergs to that choice. t was a cool aud: las determination tained by the unparalleled heroism of onr | transports caused her no afarm, ahd she’* “Fests courageously and contentedly, in ber” soldiers and citizens. The North, although grately superior in equipment and num- bers, has not been able to occupy one- twelfth of our. territory.

Never in the history of human contests was there one which so thoroughly defeat- ed its professed object than the war of the North against the South for thé “ preser- vation of the Union.” wickedly mercenary, as this war which the Black Republican party is keeping up for the sake of the pickings and stealings it affords to its corrupt managers. The European powers are inimical to us, from the simple fact that we are a nation of slavebolders, and, moreover, profess to | . “oe + . . t Justify slaveholdiug by every consideration | —natural, moral and religious. ‘The ques- tion of negro slavery alone has withheld us that recoguition, which, by reason of the uniform custom of nations, we had a nght to expect. was published to the world, and no com- plaint was made that it contained arything | which could impair our claiin to be con- sidered a moral corporation, and no objec- tion made that it would jack force or con- : i sistency to maintain it. Yet we were not recognized, But the injustice of foreign powers did not stop here. neutrality, and her prime minister express- 'ed the opinion that the North and South were “belligerents.” This might have been construed as an intimation that, as a) divided nationality, diplomatic relations | | with either of the sections of the old Urs iou would be practically suspended until the sovereignity of the nation was deter mined. This would have been maguani- The result of partizan coherance and righteousness of cause and adherence to the Constitution of the old United States, would place the sovereignty with us; when, if considered with reference to population and number of States, it would place the sovereignty with the people of the North, among | whom, however, there was no commonal- ty of sentiment, or consistence of action, or constitutional observance. sion of the English minister that we were “belligerents” was, however, limited to the meaning that we were communities in a state of war. He never explained the force of bis phrase; philoloyically consid- ered it meant nothing. In the meantime, English relations at Washington were un- | changed and English commerce with the North intact. With us it was different ; our existence was ignored; English ships respected the executive commands of the North, and our few ships and privateers were warned from the coasts of Great Brit- ain, and were not permitted to enter her ports, It would seem from this conduct of England that the independence of the North and the sabjugation of the South were foregone conclusions; and so strong has been this bias that Confederate Com- missioners have never obtained anything beyond a “kitchen” audience at ber court. Despite the injustice and insult that have | been done us, the degrading mania of Fu- ropean recognition still continues, and news of the consumination of its hopes is eager: ly watched for by every clandestine foreign mail. We might have reason to rejoice at the event of recognition if we could be assured that foreign powers had been mov- ed to the act by convictions of the justice of our cause, or by a benevolent sympathy with our sufferings. lsut when is is insist- ed that material interests are to subsidize their animosities, we may be excused from accepting the boon of recognition either graciously or gratefully. The instincts of self-respect should long ago have forbidden us from lowering our ideas of diplomatic relations, and maintaining ministers in Ku- rope, whose position was that of barbari- ans tolerated at foreign courts, simply be- cause cotton and tobacco and sugar and rice are grown in our domain, and are es- sential to their revenues and national in- dustry. It is not improbabie that we may be shortly recognized by.two or three of the leading powers of Europe.

We must not be too impatient to end the war, clse we may lose some of its most important objects. Lichmond Heaminer. PROGRESS OF THE WAR. THE YANKEES AT VICKSBURG. The Yankees are working hard in their siege of Vicksburg, and are planning eve- , ry means to take it. The Vicksburg Cit- | 2Zen Says ? The dirt-eating and dirt-diggine Yan- kees have gone to work to play a “ Yan- kee trick” upon Vicksburg by digging a canal across the bend below this city. By this they will be able to unite their two fleets without coming in range of our bat- teries. The distance is quite short, and the Yankee expertness in working in dirt will euable them to ditch a channel through the swamps ina very short time. We are , also informed that they are planting a hea- vy baltery opposite this city, and that all the negroes and horses have been pressed by them to render assistance in their work. They will gain another advantage by this ‘canal, to wit: they will have the open /comimunication of the whole Mississippi river without calling at Vicksburg. Yet, in the face of all dangers and an overpowering foe, the brave little city re- fuses to surrender. Who can fail to ads mire such noble and patriotic courage /— A city with but a mere handful of men re- sisting to the death the combined forces of ‘the enemy from above and below! The , Vicksburg Citizen, speaking of the de- fence of the city, says: Vicksburg 1s now threatened by dangers which would discourage and intimidate many less plucky cities of a larger growth. An immense fleet threatens her from be- low; and another from above. Bach of these fleets also acts as convoy toa large num- ber of transports, carrying an !mmense ar- my of infantry for the parpose of assisting in the attack upon this city by a flank wovement. Their object being to environ this place on all sides, and to crush it be- neath the folds of the coustrictor by means of overpowering numbers. The beautiful and Utopian planus laid by the enemy fer the capture of this city are gradually being developed, aud we are beginning to com- preheud the situation in which it is intend ed to place us. So far, their schemes have been foiled by the adroitness aud vigor of our officers, who are too wide awake to Le caught in any such unpleasant predica— ment as the Yankees are preparing for us. | \ \ | { \ | \ NUMBER 9, | ability to keep the enemy . from ber soil.

Christians, let us by prayer aud fasting, by loving obedience and obedient love, by faith, humility and good works, gain the intervention of Heaven! THE FAMILIES OF CONSCRIPTS, We do not kuow how many conscripts will be obtained out of the two regiments of this county. Not very many we think, hbut still some, and among these some, there will be several who would have gone before, but for the position of their fami- lies. Now that they are at last compelled to go, it is the duty of all remaining, in any public or private capacity, to see that the families of those peremptorily called away by the military service do not suffer in the absence of their natural protectors. While such is the condition of things, . and such the demands which the necessi- ties of the conntry and of her defenders makes upon the means of all, speculation in the necessities of life is in nowise differ- ent from a crime, and ought to be so view- ed aud so avoided.— Wr. Journal, Cruelty to Confederate Officers.—The Richmond Enguitrer, says : Our readers have doubtless noted the severity practiced by the Yankees upon Gens. Buckner and Tilghman now confined in Fort Warren. We understand from a’ perfectly authentic source that Brig. Gen. Pettigrew, who was recently , severely wounded and taken prisouer by the enemy, has been inhumanly removed from Balti- more, where he had the attention of friends, to Fort Deleware. His right arm is paral- ived and he is very feeble and unfit for any exertion. In thts condition he was con- signed to prison, and even refused permis- sion to take a servant to assist him in bis helplessness. The effect of this harslinesss is to retard Gen. Pettigrew’s recovery, and it may cost him his life. Yankee rener- als in our hands have been treated by us with the greatest liberality, but unless Buckner, Tilghman and Pettigrew, shall receive anotber sort of usage, they must prepare prompt retaliation. The Money Markets of New York and Richmond.— As will be seen by our quo- tation from the New York Herald, of the 10th, the result of the battles before Rich- mond has thrown the money market of New York into the wildest state of panic. The attempt to reduce Vicksburg by | means of their gun and mortar boats has signally failed, and thev have discovered that they cannot take it by water, and now the effort is being made to take it by land. In this, we apprehend, they will fiud as serious and difficult a job as they ever un- dertook ; and if they ventore their infao- try upon terra firma they may expect to witness the biggest funeral of Yankee sol- diers that has ever been seen in the Mis- sissippi Valley, he insolent demand of the Yankee Commodore for Vicksburg to | surrender could not intimidate ber; the | imposing array of a hostile fleet at the ve- ry gates of the city could not make her afraid—the whizzing and bowling sound of the enemy's shells as they were hurled over the city could not eppall her-—the aumberless myrmidous landed by the Gold had advanced to seventeen per cent. premium and silver eight, while foreign exchange was eine sold at one hundred aud twenty-seven, Even Bennett, the least dangerous of men, had been so worked upon by the sudden turn of affairs that he boldly advised everybody “to vigorously kick” everybody else they might catch hoarding silver. In Richmond Gold has fallen from one hundred and twenty per cent. premium to a nominal value withont purchasers ; and Confederates States stock has advanced to par value—one hundred aud interestand is ip eager demand.— Rich, Examiner.

During Thursday even- ing and Friday the Yankees told our citizen privoners, who were almost in the smoke of the battle, but being confined in a tent, could see nothing for themselves, that the rebels were everywhere beaten and being driven into the very streets of Richmend at the point of the bayonet. Late Friday evening, however, the shells from our guns beginning to fall into the camp, disclosed the true state of affairs. The Yankees, in great baste and trepidation, strack their tents and burried the prisoners off to James river, where they were thrown into a transport and conveyed to the Rip Raps.

The defeat of McClellan and the decimation of his army has caused the question of arming and employing the slaves asa military power to be renewed in the Yankee Congress. It is now | advocated as a necessary meusure of reinforce. | ment, und seems likely to meet with official sanction at the Yankee capital. We give an extract from the recent debate on this novel and very extraordinary proposition : Mr. Sherman, of Obio, said the question was whether the negroes shull be employed to help | the rebels. ‘Phe time had arrived, in his judy- ment, when military officersshould be compe il- ed to cull into service all loyat men to suppress the rebellion. Heretofore these negroes had worked ouly for the rebels, anddone all the la- bors of the cainp for them. He was in favor of giving the President the power to eall into the service all the slavesof rebels.

Since the commencement of the war, we have been a united and harmonious people,—old party dis- tinctions have been broken up—party feeling and party rancor merged and forgetten—and the minds of all have been animated by a common sentiment of patriotic devotion to our Government, and a determined purpose to achieve our independence at any sacrifice.

Though you are small. gud young, it is important for you to be pious. If you are old enough to Iéarn how to love Jesus, you are old enough to give bim your heart and be a sweet little christian. The noble men whom the Lord sent to deliver the words of truth and wisdom to mankind, thought it was right for litte children to. be good. When the Father of Love made his great covenant of mercy and blessing with the children of Israel, the little ones were pre- sent as well as those who were older and larger. Moses urged the pareats to in- struct their children in the law of God by their firesides. Solomon, the wise man, said that a child ought to be trained up in the way he should go. Infant Samuel was lent to the Lord by bis mother and did great service to his Heavenly Father, while he was only a little child. S+, Paul says that Timothy, one of the earliest and most distinguished Bishops of the cliristian church, koew the Scriptures from the davs of his childhood. The Scriptures plainly teach tbat the Saviour doves the little ones. When he was on earth he said: “Suffer little childrea to come unto me and forbid them not.” He took them in his arms, laid bis hands on them and blessed them. This shows how he loved them then, and the Bible teaches us that he never changes ; so he loves them still He is in sweet Ifeaven now, but he sees you all the time, wants yo. to do right and be happy and if you will do as well as you can he will love you wore every day and lead you safely through this world aud welcome you to a bright home in glory. He wept for you, bled for you, died for you. Oh how he loved us—to bearso much for our sakes! All he asks in return is that we give him our hearts—love hitn and do good all our days. J)orn’t you want to please him and at last live with him in that beautiful home where the angels are and where all the good people go when they die? Then give him your heart! Because Jesus died and rose again the kind Father of mercy says that for his sake he will hear our prayers and bless and save us if we will ask him to do so for the sake of Jesus, his dear Son. Now I urge on you, by all means, to memorize the two little prayers that you see below—and kneel down and say the morning prayer every morning, and the evening prayer every evening. It will make you better, happier, wiser and safer. I pray that you may live piouslv, make many people happy by doing good to them and meet our dear Saviour at last in Heaven! MORNING PRAYER. ‘« Now I awake and see the light, ’Tis God has kept me through the night ; To him I lift my voice, and pray That he will keep me through the day , And if I die before ’tis done, O God accept me, through thy Son.” EVENING PRAYER. «« Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep: If I should die before I wake, I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take : And this I ask for Jesus’ sake.” (Will not a kind parent or friend help the little ones to learn these prayers ¢) soe THE CLOAK TRIMMINGS. ‘Oh, aunt Mary, I saw such a lovely cloak before us to-day,” said Fanny Day- ton, as she returned from Church with an aunt she was visiting ; “did you (ake no- tice of it !” “No, my dear: 1 was interested in the services and did not observe it,” replied | her aunt. “] know now just how I shall have my new cloak trimmed, and I think I can do it very easily, as I took particular notice of that one,’ ‘You have all the materials up stairs, I believe,’ said ber aunt gently ; ‘would you not like to run up for it, and bring down your needles and thimbe, and just arrange it now before you forget ! Fanny was quite shocked: ‘Wky, aunt Mary, it is the Sabbath. Do you think | would do such a wicked thing as sew on the Sabbath ? ‘Why not, my dear, have you not sewed it over many times in you mind to-day ? Fanny looked ashamed, but pene uired, “ig it as bad to think about suc thing on the Sabbath, as do it {” “God looks om the heart, Fanny In his sight you have broken his holy com- in a ae by sewing on your cloak to- UBat I would not really sew on the Sab- bath for anything.” ‘You remind me, Fanny, of a poor wo- man who took out the parts of a garment and began arranging them together with pace Sabbath morning. One said to er, ‘You are not going to sew to-day f’ ‘Oh, no,’ she sepals f am only fitting these pieces together nicely, to sew on Monday.’ “T percéive by your smile, Fanny, that you see her inconsistency. Is there really any difference in the cases?! My dear, God’s ‘commandment is exceeding broad. Itgforbids us not only to ‘do our own works,’ but to think our own thoughts,’ on the day. Heart sins are the worst of all, for they produce all the others. We can never a our hearts right unless Je- sus gives us the strength; but this need be no excuse for us, for he has promised to belp all that ask him. Pray to Him dear Fanny, to help you keep next Sabbath better than you have this. We maust re- member the Sabbath day, on al! the oth- er days, and prepare for it, if we would keep it holy.” LESSONS OF LIFE. Cross words are meant to make us gen~ tle and delays teach patience, and care veaches faith, and press of business make us look out for moments to give to God, and disappointment is a special messenger to summon our thoughts to heaven. If, when they come, we did not try to run away from them, but learn God’s lesson from them, we should soon leave off call- ing them trying. Did we but view our daily path aright, Work would seem pleasure, and our du- ties light; Our daily burdens we should meekly take, With this sweet motive—/for our Saviour’s sake., For thy sake, dearest Lord, the constant round Of common duties, yet so irksome found, Would glow with love and faith and joy divine ; the sweet consciousness that we are thine, Wouid make us active workers, striving ever, By word and deed, thy name to glorify ; Seeking thy aid in every weak endeavor, Knowing that thou canst all our need supply, And resting on thy faithfulness and love, Until we gain a perfect rest above. W hile ROWLAND HILL AND THE ROB- BER. Rowland Hill was once waylaid by a robber, who, with pistol in hand, deman- ded his money. Mr. Hill gazed at him with a mild and benevolent took, and kindly remonstrated with him to abandon such a dreadful course which must soon eud jin ruin. Tears started from the rob- ber’s eyes, while he fell upon his knees, and begged his pardon. Mr. Hill took bim home and made him his coachman, and he became a reformed and good man, and after being twenty years in Mr. Hill's family, died a peacefu! death. How to Judge of Men.—I meet an in- dividual man—how I am to regard bim? In what degree shall I respect him! Lis dress, bis manners, all I see outwardly, please me. But I must know more of him. Well, you tell me be is very wealthy— that he lives in a splendid house, and fares sumptuously every day. So far, so good. Bat I pay homage to none of these things.

' A rustic cot with ivey spread, A rippling brook by erystals fed, A neat alcove with roses crowned, And shade trees on the rising ground— And silent joy» and peace were there, Al! nature seemed absorbed in prayer. The cottage was of simple plan, ' And not of great extent, _ No costly goods or sordid man, | Were there to bar content— But grately joys and peace were there, | Its inmates were engaged in prayer. A bonny curly-headed child, | With spirits light and free, Was kneeling by his mother’s side, His hands upon her knee— And thas in faltering accents he begun ; | “Our Father in Heavee thy will be done.” is bere? Is he honest, benevolent and re- ligious? In a word, what is his charac- PL TT TT TTY Important Discovery—-A Great. Salt Lake Discovered in Alabama,—Mr.J. W. Kidd, of Tulladéga, who has just returned from @ visit to Clarke county, where he had been engaged in exploring the swamp lands of that section of our State, for the purpose of ascertaining the best locality for procuring salt, informs us that he has discovered a large lake, capable of yield- ing a sufficient quantity of that mucbh— needed article to supply the wants of the entire Confederacy. This lake is some twenty miles from Gainstown ; and he as- sures us that Were is room and water am- pie to afford constant employment for twenty thousand persons. Mr. Kidd has purchased the land on which the lake and springs are situated, and invites all persons who are in need of sult to arm themselves with pots, kettles, &c., and go down to the lake and make salt for themselves to their heart’s conteut. The small pittance he re- quires for this privilege is only one bushel out of every seven that shall be made.— Mr. Kidd informed us that a negro mao, with two large pots, made two bushels of salt within the sbort period of twenty-four hours, which could have been brought to Salem as a specimen, had it been possible to procure a sack in which toshi) it, which was impossibles—Selma (l/a.) Reporter. How Baltimore Women Treat New York Soldters.—An officer iu the 37th New York regiment, writing from Balti- more to the Hvening Post, says that on arriving at tuat city, after seventeen hours travel, they were welcomed by a pouring rain storm, and remained all night in a railroad shed. He adds: “ Baltimore is a perfect hot bed of seces- sion, nut a cheer or a flag for Union treops. I rode in # city car with a most beautiful young lady but she turned her head away, and when | got out she gathered her dress in so that I would not touch it. J passed on safely through the streets, but was very often sneered at. I might easily imagine myself in New Orleans before the reign of Picayune Butler. “Our soldiers guard the railroad depot.” The New York Post estimates the to- tal value of tho vessels and cargoes seized during the past year and sent to Key West while attempting to run the blockade, at $1,379,289 68.

Any attempt to seize the arme of our citi- zens, is directly at variance with the Constitu- tion, and in opposition to the declared policy of the Government, which makes it the duty of every citizen to keep and bear arms, and pro- tects the arms of the Militia even from execu- tion for debt. But while I notify you that these agents have no lawful authority to seize your private arms, and you will be protected in preserving the means of self defence, I must also enjoin upon you in this emergency, as an act of the highest patriotism and duty, that you should discover to the proper State authorities, all public arms. Muskets or Rifles, within your knowledge, and of selling to the State all the arms, the property of individuals, which can be spared. The Colonels of the several regiments of Militia will act as agents for the State, and will notify me whenever any such arms are Ce- livered. or offered to them Their prompt and earnest attention is called to the execution of HENRY T.

This regiment has been organized for nearly | twelve months, has acquired a high reputation | for drill, discipline, and thorough organization, and its soldiery bearing in the late action at | Williamsburg, gives promise of future ugeful- | ness under the leadership of its gallant com- mander, Col. D. kK. McRue. The advantages to be derived from joining a regiment already drilled and organized, will readily be perceived by all. | From the recent letter of the Secretary of | War, it will be seen that men enlisting are still entitled to their bounty of $50 from the C.S.

O’B, Baanes, Commanding District Pamlice : Generac : —I have to report, in accord: ance with military usage, the dhare of my cominand in the operations of last Friday. Whilst in the temporary command of | the post of Newbero on Thursday, my re- | giment was ordered to Croaton Works, | under command of Lient. Colonel Burg- | wyn, to assist Colonel Sinclair's regiment | should the enemy land below tbose works. Leariiug soon after that Col, Campbell was at lis post, [ instantly transferred to him my temporary command, and pro- | ceeded to Croaton to assuring command of | my regiment. When near there I met! Col. Sinclair retreating, who informed me | that the enemy were landing in force at | Fisher's Landing, and nearer still to the | works I met Col. Campbell, who bad just | ordered inv regiment to take the cars an return to Fort Thompson. Before my re- | turn tney had been posted by Lieut. Col. Burgwvn in the series of redans cunstruct- ed by ine on the right of the railroad, in | the rear of Bullen’s Branch, extending from | the railroad to the swamp, about 500 | yards froin the road by Weatherby’s. At this road, as you will remember, I had con- | structvd the night before a breastwork, commanding the passage of the swamp, with the assistance of Mr. Hawks, a gen- tleman whose skill in Engineering, uutir- ing energy and zeal, I take pleasure in no- ticing favorably. And there was placed a section of Capt. Brem’s Artillery, Lieuten- ant Williams commanding, Capt. McRae’s company of infantry, with a portion ofthe | companies of Captains Hays and Thomas 2od N.C. Cavalry, dismounted. About two o'clock Friday morning, in | compliance with orders received, I pushed | companies E, K and B of my right wing across tlie small swamp ailuded to, so as to make my extreme right rest on the bat- tery at the Weatherby road. This was our position on Friday morning, which re- | mained unchanged during the Gay, except | that two companies of the 33d regiment, | under Lieut. Col. Hoke, came to my assist- ance about nine o’elock, who were placed in the redins vacated by my right compa- nies, who were thrown beyond the swamp. | You will perceive that my forces covered almost as much ground as all the rest of | our troops together, Taking my own po- | sition near the centre, a little nearer to the | right, under Lieut. Col. Burgwyn, about | whose position I was considerably uneasy, cwing to the unfinished state of our works there, I placed the left under command of | Major Carmichael, and awaited the engage- | ment, It began on my left wing about | ten minutes to eight o'clock, extending to- | ward my right by degrees, until about half | past eight, when all the troops in my com- mand were engaged so far as the swamp referred to. ‘The severest. fighting was on my extreme left, the enemy advancing un- der shelter of the woods to within easy range of our lines, Whenever they left the woods and eutered among the fallen timber of the swamp in our front, they were driven back in confusion by the most deadly and well directed tire fram our lines, who with the greatest coolness watched for their appearance. The fight was kept up until about twelve o'dock, when informa- tion was brought to me by Captain J.T. Young, my Quartermaster, who barely es- eaped with life in getting to me, that the | enemy in great force had turned my left by the railroad track at Wood's Brick Yard, had pillaged my camp, were firing in reverse on my left wing, and were sev- | vral hundred yards up the railroad, be— | ‘ween ine and Newbern; also, that all the troops on the field were in full retreat ex- cept my command. This being so, there Was no alternative left me but to order an Immediate retreat, or be completely sur- | rounded by an overwhelming force. With- out hesitation I gave the order. My men Jumped out of the trenches, rallied, and formed in the woods without panic or con- ‘usion ; and having first sent a messenger with¥an order to Lieut. Col. Burgwyn to Follow with the forces on the ri ht, we struck across the Weatherby road for Bri- ces’ Creek, with the inteation of getting io- | rear got over, | nation, evineing most thoroughly those | | leut condition, and assisted me with the | Breatest coolness and efficiency in gutting ‘the troops avrosa, which, after four bours _; of hard labor and the neue anxiety, we ‘succeeded in doing, Lieut. Col. B, saw the last man over before he entered the boat. I regret to say that three men were drowned in crossing. I must here men- tion favorably the good cenduct of the troops under these trying circumstances, a large Yankee force being drawn up in view of our scouts about one mile away, and their skirmishers appearing just as the Musician B. F. Johnson, Company B, deserves particular mention for his exertions, having ferried over the greater portion of the troops himself, as- sisted by a negro, boy. Once over, we were joined by Lieut. Col. Hoke, 33d reg- iment, with a large portion of his com— mand, and took the road for Trenton, —- We marched night and day, stopping at no time for rest or sleep more than four hours. We arrived at this place safely at noon on the 16th. The lovalty and hos- pitality of the citizens greatly facilitated our march, furnishing us cheerfuily with provisions, wagons, shelter and guides. | reget to say that many of our men, des- pairing of the boats at the creek and de- termined not to be taken, threw away their guns to switn over; a serious loss fo our Government, but scarcely blamable under the circumstances. This concludes the narration of the principal matters connect ed with my command during the engage- ment and retreat. The number of my killed and wounded bas uot vet been as- certained. Our baygage, of course, was | lost, but our sick were safety brought away. It remains for me to speak of the noble dead we le upon the field. Major A. B. | Carmichael fell about 11 o'clock, A. M., by a shot through the head, whilst gallantly holding his post on the left under a most galling fire. A braver, nobler soldier ne— ver fell on the ficld of battle. Generous and opeo-hearted as he was brave and chivalrous—he was endeared to the whole regiment. Henored be his memory. Soon after Captain W. P. Martin of Co. HI also fell, near the regimental colors. Highly respected as a man, brave and determined as a soldier, he was equally regretted by his command and all who knew bim. The 26th regiment are justly proud of their glorious fall. The fate of Capt. Rand, of Co. D, is as yet unknown. When last seen he was almost surrounded by a large force, | but disdaining to fly or surrender, he was fighting desperately with Lieut. Vinson and a large portion of his company who refused to leave hin. Lieut. Porter of Co. A was also left behind, wounded. Capt. | A. N. MeMillan was badly wounded, but got away safely. In regard to the bebavior of my regi- ment generally, I am scarcely willing to mention particular instances of gallantry, where all did their duty. Observing a large | portion of the regiment myself, and mak— ing diligent inquiry as to the rest, I could | leain of but one man in all my command | who remembered that he had legs until They were the last of our troops to leave | tbe field. I cannot conclude this report without mnentioning in terms of the highest praise the spirit.of determination and power of | endurance evinced by the troops during | the hardships and sufferings of our march. Drenched with rain, blistered feet, without sleep, many sick and wounded, and almost naked, they toiled through the day and all the weary watches of the uight without murmuring, eheerfally and with subordi- high qualities in adversity which military men learn to value still more than courage upon the field.

THE HERALD ON ‘tHE GLOOM PERVADING. The New York “ Herald” says the civil war lras coat the U. States 600,000,000, and the “ bones of its déad soldiers would make a Golgotha monument higber than that of Bunker Hill.” It says : “To return for this, immense outlay of blood and treasure, what havy we gained Are the rebels subdued? On the contra- ry, they seem stronger thao ever. Is the rebellion at its last gaan? ‘It has to day more soldiers in the feld than the Union. Have we succeeded in revivlip the Union feeling at the South? Why, every day the two sections drift farther and farther apart: every day we become more and Southern people ; every day that this ac- cursed rebelliva is permitted to continue the number of Southeru Union men be comes less as the old Union seems more powerless and remote, and the new Con federacy more powerful and successful.— What then have we gained?

Shall | we give up the war, disband our army aud | navy, and let the rebels go in peace? Ne- | { { ver It is tou late to think of such a! course. The recognition of the Seuthern | Confederacy by our own Government is no longer among the contingencies of the war. The rebels may defeat our armies and cap ture our capital—these are possibilities— but the rebels can never conquer their inde- pendence. The conflict has assumed a new and a sublimer aspect. We have to | decide now not whether the rebels can be subdued, but whether the country is to be saved. The question is no longer the put- ting down of the rebellion, but the salva- tion of the nation. We are in cul de sac, from which oar only escape is the suppres- sion of the rebellion by force.” In another article it says that “this sum- mer’s campaign must end this rebellion or , that this may be a very long and eventful | war.” It adds: “We call upon the government to sup- ply, atonce, from our troops in the field | elsewhere, an overwhelming army to Mc- Clellan and Pope in Virginia, and upon our loyal States to push forward their vol- | unteers or militia. If within two or three weeks we cau reinforce our Virginia armies to the extent of a hundred thousand meu | it may save us a vast amount of human life and a thousand millions of dollars, which may otherwise be required for the | suppression of this rebellion.

The “ Herald” will be the first paper to shout the cry for peace, as it was the first to sound the bugle blast of war, after the mob had visited its office. Ever active and principled and unscrupulous, is the best Cater- ing to the public, no matter how wicked the popular cry may be, that journal leads all others in quick perception of popular sentiment. Its tergiversations have always been rapid and regardless of all consisten- cy; it has always truly represented the | popular excitement of the moment and | maintained its course only so lony as its daily sales indicated popular approval.— But the ‘ Herald” is just now iu a fog. The tardiness of volunteering, and the em barrassments that beset the public finan ces, indicate, if not a change in public sen: | ment, at least a hesitancy to pursue the war policy that has brought distress to so many hearts and ruin to 80 many purses. | But the “ Herald” is not yet satistied, and | hence it adds: ‘“ The recognition of the Southern Confederacy by our own Gov- ernment is no longer among the contin- gencies of this war.” But why make so positive an announce: ment of the fact that has been reiterated for a whole year by the entire North, un- leas there were indications of a change in public sentiment Why not leave, as taken SS = SES ee + N. ©.

The accounts which we bave of public sentiment and action in the North, with reference to the prosecution of the war, are, some of them, amusing, sume grave and The mass | (due notice of it was given in the newspa- _ pers, fifty Choussand idlers, bummers, bag- ua of the States for uine months, and also | ‘doubt. for granted, a question that every mah at syme, in fact, truly alarming. meetings in New York, Boston, Spring- field, Portland and other places, are so much sound and fury; they signify noth- ing. The Yankee country is the land of cheap pageants. A mass meeting in the city of New York is about the cheapest pubhe demonstration in the world. If a Jackass was to be buried in the Park, aud gage smashers and gentlemen of leisure might easily be called to attend his obse-~ | quies. There are graver aspects, however, of public sentiment in the North. The Con gress at Washington, which is abont to adjourn, fas under consideration a bill call- | ing all the militia into the field. This ball | has already passed the Senate. Its provi: | sions are large and important ; it proposes | that the President shall call out the mili- | authorizes bim to call into the field one | huodred thousand volunteers, besides such | number of troops as may be required to fill up the regiments of iufantry now in the | service. A bounty of twenty-five dollars is to be paid to every soldier who enlists, and tbe additional bounties offered to vol- unteers by States, cities and corporations | have raised this sum to au average of at least one bundred dollars. That the North is able to raise large ad- ditional forces for its armies, and that its people are determined to prosecute the war to the extent of their men, means, and resources, does not admit of a reasonable | If the Yankee Congress had found impressment necessary to raise the addi- | tional troops asked for by President Lin- | coln, it certainly would not have hesitated to have recourse to it. The calls upon the | nilitia and the temptations of the bounties will undoubtedly raise all the troops tbe North requires, and in # few months more, unless some special providence or the mir- | acie of an aggressive pclicy ov the part of this government intervenes, we may ex- pect to meet these fresh levies in the field. There is really a good deal of sound | sense in the statements uf the Northern jourvals and the exhortations of their ora- tors to the effect that thetr defeat before Richmond has made them stronger than ever. There is force and philosophy in this view. As Jong as the North is con- ducting the war upon the soil of the South | a defeat there involves more money ex- penditure and more calls for troops; it: involves nothing else 3 it has uo other hor- rors, it does not imperil their homes ; it is vasily repaired by time. The North re- covers froin the force of defeat to put forth its energies anew, to take advantage of ex: | perience, to multiply its means of success, and to essay new planus of campaign. No ons can doubt but that the celebrated Ma- nassas defeat really strengthened the North; | and there is no candid and logical mind | but must admit the same cousequence of the second repulse of the enemy’s move- | ments op Richmond, if it is to be attended | by the same conditions on our part of in- | action and repose. | vigour and determination. stroy the town, But, on some prominent citizens ayproaching them under a flag of truee, and undeceiving therm as to their assailants, the Zouaves were marched back to the boats, taking with them an old cav- alry horse, the only pieee of public pro- perty in the place, who, it is said, kicked one of the Zouaves mortally duribg the return of the boats down the river.

Examiner, WE HAVE HEARD some queer incidents of the late battles before Richmond, and some interesting accounts of interviews. be- tween Federal prisoners and Confederate officers and citigens. A couple of gentlemen from this town, one a physician, recently went over the battle-field. At one place, at a field hos- pital, they met up with three Yankee Sur- geons who had fallen into our hands, and been detained to attend to the Federal wounded left on the field by McClellan in his “strategic movement.” These men, not knowing from what State our friends were, expressed there sur- prise at the ubiquity of the North Caroli- na troops, and at their determined fighting. They had thought North Carolina perfect- ly safe for the Union. When asked how they could reconcile the number and deter- mination of North the Carolina troops with the existence of a Unio feeling, they were puzzled, but said that no doubt they bad been conscripted and made to fight, but admitted that the style of their fighting did not agree with this theory. It appears to be certain that the Federal soldiers have been taught to believe that North Carolina is all ready to declare for the Union and | Abe Lincoln. Some gentlemen well-known here called last week to see a Pennsylvania Colonel, | Dow a prisoner in Richmond, one of the gentlemen having known hit before the war broke out.

Tho extent to which it prevailsin this city ie enormous and shame'eas; trade iarcduc- ed to a devilish art to make money out of the distresses of humanitys and, that bypvcrisy may be added to other diabolical accomplish- ments, the exiortiousrs ef Richmond take the upper seatsin church. tatk patriotism, and give into the contribution bores small pinchings from enormous gains ; dandy preachers and hoapi's! matrons taking these filthy gifis of the plunder- ers of society ag tokens of the Jiberality and pa- trrotism of the donors, The lengths to whieh extortion has gone in this eommaniy are «laos! incredible, A sin- gle instance may serve us an ifustration.— Through the acrive and enlarged exertions of the government qlothing bureau, in this city, contracts have been made with a nomber of roils in the South by which it has been ugrerd that they sball farniah supplies fur Uke wsmy at stipulated prices. Some days ago an officer purchased at this bureau for his own use, a piece of cloth at two dollars aud sixty eents a yard. Thies the government price wue latyely: reman- abative to the manufaaqturér; it paid him « con- siderable profi, and be was satisfied to obtain that without grasping for the uttermost gainsof avarice and extortion. The price of the same style of cloth, manefactared at our doors in Richgeond, wasingaired at sworeson Mainstreet; the reply wap siziecn and eighteen dollar a yard. : These are the extortioners—the thousand per cent. men—who ure plundering the commu- nity, coining their fortunes ootof the weal and stooy of war, and. like vultures, stabbing their Ie into the vitalsof the couatry. Lo war, pnb- lic opinion is easily corrupted, and the moral standards of society ure frequently lowered or lost. The extortioner congravulatss himeell! that he te amassing an enormous fortune ; that he sleeps aud growerich in a week, and that public indignation spares him ; that he is still accounted respectable ; that he still has lick- epittfes around him, and lives in a fine house and prays in a fine church, and is respeetfully addressed when he goes into the streets The day of retribution, however, will come ; peace will give time for reflection, and wil bring back the old moral standards of conscience and right; every man who has coined his guld out of the distresses of his cowntr, will be pointed out as a wretch and pariah; time will widen these dis- tinetions ; the memory of these men will grow blacker in their children, until the extortioners of the present day will be ranked by posterity with the tories of the Revolution, and the gal- lows birde of the penitentury. We do not propose to excite public opinion on this subject. There has been a vast expendi- ture of mere passion and seutiment on the part of the press of the South with reference to ex- tortion. It has accomplished nothing; the ob- ects of its attack cannot be reached by appeals to principle or exhortations to shane; the real question 18 that of a practical, effective remedy for an evil that cannot be treated by moral per- saasions and that increases by toleration. “The answer to this question we believe to be easy and direct; but the government is the on- ly party that can give it. To destroy extortion we must assail the head and ‘ront of the mon- ster. We must attack the large capitalist who gives the example to the community and whose extortion involves the lesserextortions. Butter and eggs will be dear when clothing and bread are at fabulous prices; the tradesman, the ped- ‘er, and the huckster, tbink it legitimate for them to extort in their litthe ways when mer- chants and manufacturers, who glisten in weajth and go warebuked im the community, xet them the example. It will not do forthe government to make tariffs for eggs and turnips and to af- ‘ect zeal by a war upon the market stalls as jong as it has not the nerve to touch the big capitalists who supply our armies and control the necessaries of life. It is wreless to fight ex- tortion at the tail; the head of the hydra must be attacked with herculeau und unceasing ef- forts betore the country is devoured and famine knaws our armies und sits at the firesides of our ho mes. The liberty which the gevernmeant has albbw- ed to eome of the grandest enterprizes of extor, tion is at once deplorable aud inexplicable. In the manufacturing establishments of the South the operatives have been exempted from milita- ry duty. It was sopposed that, for this privi lege, eome considerution could be claimed ; that in fact it implied a contract on the part of the manufacturers to deal liberally with the gov- ernment and the country ,and ta put their zoods at fair prices’ These expectations have but, in few instances, been realized. ‘There are cot- tou and woolen mills in the South which have had hands exempted by the guvernmeut, enough to form a battulion, and which are unwilling to sell their goods unless at the thousand per cent. profit of the extortioner. Iu tolerating such tmposition as bis the government shoulders a burden of infamy. It breaks its faith and trifles with the soldier ; it gives him fifiy dollars com- mutation money for clothing, whenit knows ve- ry well that it cannot duy him shoes and shirts for a year.

We have the pleasure of laying befwure our reuders to-day, the Jetter writien about the Ist of June last, by the Hon George E Badger, of this Ciry, to Mr. Ely, of New York, and which was transmitted throygh Mr. Stanly at New- bern, and read by hiin. We are authorized to say that Mr. Badger has consented to publish the letter at the request of a friend, in whose attuchment to himeelf and in whose soundness of judgment he has every confidence—espe- cially a8 thie request was accompanied by a suggestion on the subject which had not occur- red to Mr. Badger before, but which was deci- sive with him im forming his purpose to give the letter to the publie :-— Mr. Ery:—In your letter to Mr. Stanly, you proposed to him the office of eherishing the frel ing of ** Unioniem” in North Carolma, and as that letter came to my hands in an unsealed en- velope, directed to my wife, I take the liberty of setting you right upon a fact, and showing you what a hopeless task you have suggested tu Mr. Stanly. There isin North Carolina no Union feeling as you suppose, and 4s is probably supposed by the generality of Northern men ‘There wag iu this State a very strong Union feeling—a stroug love fur the Union established by our forefathers —which induced the people by a very large and overwhelming majority ta vole down the pure pose of seceding from the Union ou account of Mr. Lincoln’s election ; and this was represent- ed by immediate secessionists here as proving that the Union men here were base submission- ists, ready to submit to any injury or insult, ra- ther than resist wrong, and stand in defence of our rights and honor. But we soon as Mr. Lin- colo’s proclamation of April, 1861, appeared, offering us the alternative of joining in an arm- edinvarion of our Southern eisier States for their subjugation, under the pretence of execu- ting the laws, ur resistance to the authorities of the United States, our position was taken with- out a moment’s hesitation. A Convention was promptly called, and instantly, and without a dissenting vuice, that Convention resolved to take our side with the already seceded States, and share their fate for good or evil. From that moment, however we muy have dieffred in other things, in this there has not bern, and ix not any difference. It would, perhups, be too much to say, if 1 were to affirm that (here was, on this subject, an absolute unanimity; but there was such an overwhelming predominance of publle sentiment, as to umount to what is called a moral unanimity—hence the people, with one heart, sprung to arms; Union men, that is, those who had previously been Union men, not only among the first, but truth and justice require me to say—the very first.— Hence the people heve nearly sixty reyiments, | not skeletons, but full regiments; and among | them all there is not one conscript or drafted man. Hence we have freely taxed ourselves, and have used our credi( in making large loans | to sustain the war; and the spirit which has prodaced this las never flagged, and is now as high and active as at first. Mr. Ely, think a moment. We have been invaded by an enemy as unrelenting and fero- cious as the hordes under Attilla und Alaric, who overrun the Roman Empire. tHe comes | to rob us, to murder our people, to emancipate our slaves; and is now preparing to add a new element to this most atrocious aggression, and involve usin the direful horrors of a servile war. | He proposes nothing less than our entire de- struction, the total desolation of our country, universal emancipation; not from the love of the slaves, but from hatred io us— to erush | us ’—to ‘wipe out the South ’—to involve us in trremediable misery and hopeless ruin. Now, Mr. Ely, if your own State of New | York were so invaded and threatened, what | would be your ferlings and purposes? From these you may judge ours. We look with hor- | ror at the thought of being again united in any political connexion with the North. We would | rather, far, that our State shouldbe a Colony of | England, or France, or Sardinia. The North may be able, (though we believe it not) to con- quer us, and even to keep us conquered; and if it should be the wise and good purpose of Al- inighty God that this should happen, we shall may befall ve. But u voluntary return to any union witn the North, this we cannot, will not accept upon any terms; a revival of Union sen- timents—rthis ie a mere impossibility. I think, therefore, Mr. Ely, you would do well to advise Mr. Stanty to abandon his enterprise. He a Governor of North Carolina? A Governor de- riving his cominission from Mr. Lincoln! ‘The very title is an insult tous. Whence does Mr. Lincoln derive his power lo appoint a Governor of this State?) The very appointment is an assumption of the rights of a conqueror over us. But we are not yet conquered. Aud do you think Mr. Stanly’s coming here in such a char acter, supported hy Northern bayonets, is a mode to commend himself to our favor, to breathe im us the gentle sentiments of amity and | peace towards him or those who sent him here? Mr. Ely, as you have opened a correspondence with Mr. Stanly, you had better, as I think you yourse}f will believe after reading what I ave | written, say this to bim: If he wishes the honored name of Stanly to become a by-word and @ reproach, and to be | +t in the dase in the eyes of the world From all we ean lea:n of the purchasing agen- | cies of the government, the prices offered are fair and remunerative. ‘The rule of the government | in this matter is that of liberal remuneration; its agents to contract with manufacturers for supplies are generally intelligent merchants, who can have no interest in beating down the prices of the manufacturer, and whose obliga- tions to the government involve no mereenary or speculating interest, being simply to purchase at fair rates. Among the producers and manu- facturers of the South there have been some honorable and patriotie men, who have readily come to terms with the agents of the govern. ment and accepted the liberal prices offered by it for supplies for the army. The rule adopted by these should be applied to all in the same class of productions, el*s the government does an oulrageous injustice to their patriotism and honesty. The adjustment of governmeut pri- ces is made on the distinct and uniform basis that they are to bea liberal advance upon the cost of production.’ These prices can, there- fore, never injut the producer ; instead of be - ing 20 SBEARAROR, ABT ALe fightap sey pro- spoken with scorn and hatred by North Caroli- nians henceforth and forever, let him prosrente his present mission If he does not wish this —let hin return whenee he cume, and leave us to fight oul this contest as best we may, without his interference GEORGE E.

Oh! friend Watchman, you must not re- pudiate your leader in that way. You must gulp him down through this contest at least. Mr. Holden did nominate Col. Vance, and if they are not bed-fellows, there seems to be a sort of loving familiarity between them, as the Standard frequently designates its candi- date as “ Zeb,” “old Zeb, &c.— Char. Dem. Suppose all that to be true, it proves noth- ing against Vance. But you know very well Vance was first nominated by other parties— two or more County meetings—before his name was propoged by the Standard. You say it was the result of manceuvring on the part of the Standard, but where is the proof tuestablish the charge? Ycuhave none: itis all mere conjecture: you must have been wnanceuvring for Johnston, and therefore con- cluded that the Staadard had been doing the same thing for Vance. A guilty conscience is very apt to seek relief in accusing others. So shut up, friend Yates, before you convict yourself of worse trickery than you van prove against the Standard. But wherein consists the “loving familiar- ity” betweea Vanceand the Standard. Why, “the Standard frequently designates its can- didate as ‘Zeb,’ ‘old Zeb,’ &c.” So have newspapers of all parties always taken pre- cisely the same kind of liberties with candi- dates, when not one in a hundred had any personal acquaintance with the candidate. Show us something Mr. Vance has said or done going to prove “ familiarity” with the Standard, and then you inay call it, not “lov- ing,” but mutual familiarity. Without evi- dence of its being mutua!, you know very well your charge is unjust to Vance. And there being nu such evidence in existence you are convicted of a deliberate attempt to injure an innocent man without the shadow of an excuse. You say Mr. Vance went to Raleigh to have a consultation with the edit- | or of the Standard, and that he could not | write his letter of acceptance until then. Were you at Raleigh at that time? Were you, or any one you can name, present at any such consultation ? Do you or any body else Can you relate the substance of it? know that there was any consultation be- | tween them?

Johnston’s official report of the battle of the Seven Pines has been published. His apology for delay in making his report is based upon his feebleness, He states the Confederate loss at 4,233. ‘ That, of the enemy,” says,the report, “is stated in their own newspapers to have exceeded ten thousand—an estimate which is, no doubt, short of the truth,” The report conveys a reflection upon Gen. Huger for failure to perform, at the right time, the part assigned to his division in this bat- tle. We copy from it as follows: “Had Major General Huger’s Division been in position and ready for action, when those of Smith, Longstreet and Hill moved, I am satistied that Keyes’s corps would have been destroyed, instead of being merely de- feated.* Had it gone into action even at 4 o'clock, the victory would bave been much more complete.” *See Longstreet’s report. 7 vere - Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, made a severe attack on Gen.

Mr. Chandler seems to be oblivious of the fact that there was a good stout army of bet- ter troops than McClellan's between Rich- mond and those whom he describes as the “best that ever stvod on God's footstool.’ But that’s no concern of ours—let him “ pile it on” McClellan if he chooses to. °+. : Medicinal Herbs.—See advertisement in this paper for medicinal plants, &c. There are many women and children in the State who might make money for themselves and render a great public benefit by collecting these plants; and we therefore suggest to the intelligent readers of this paper to visit such persons and urge them to do something in this way. No one neighborhood will be like- ly to furnish very many of the different herbs, &c., called for, but there is scarcely any neigh- borhood which cannot furnish some half doz- en or more kinds; so that when the collec- tion shall have been made it is expected it will contain more or less of all the different kinds. There may be some difficulty in knowing how to put up orsave some of the articles called for. In that case, we would suggest that physicians in the neighborhood may be able to give the necessary instructions, It may also happen that persons who could spend time in gathering them, may not know the plants. Physicians, and others who have studied botany, may here be of service again, in directing little hands to a profitable em- ployment. It is doubtless very important that these herbs should be obtained, and we have been thus particular in calling attention to the sub- Jeet because we know how inditferent most The prices to be paid for them are certainly re- people are in regard to such matters. munerative; and as the plants are scattered to charge postage papel that he will hereaf- ter hand out no copies of this pauper except to thoae who are willing to pay the portage.

They find it difficult to procure these things in quantities enabling them to provide for the sick and wounded men stopping at the hospital as well as they would be glad to do. There are often many little delicacies which families could easily spare, and the Board of Managers feel that it is only neces- sary to give a hint to a willing people in such a case this. But it must be borne in mind that this in- sutution stands on the liberality of the public entirely. It had a pretty good sum to start with, but it will not last always. It must be replenished from time to time, or it will be compelled to close; and then our sick and wounded soldiers will have to take the ground for a pillow as before. Liberal contibutions in money or provisions will be required to keep it up, and as its liberality is extended to the sick and wounded of all sections who pass this way. this institution appeals toa large Community for support. —- ome -- — Candidates for Shenff—W.

It is suggestive of some important matters of which we are in ignorance here. Can it be, that Baton Rouge is re-occupied after all the denials from New Orleans? The New Orleans papers of the latest dates have confessed to a scare and that a Maine regi- ment was sent in hot haste. Farragut’s re- quest to be permitted to pass the batteries is repeated in this letter in conditions greatly amplified. If half what is suggested by the writer be confirmed, the Yankees are cer- tainly in a bad way on the Mississippi, and Bader was right in thinking that “ groups and crowds in the streets of New Orleans were dangerous to the public peace.” But to the extracts: Vickssure, July 12. We have just received exciting news from our batteries. A Yankee flag of truce has arrived to request permission for their gun- boats to pass our batteries at Vicksburg and Baton Rouge anmolested, and they will evac- uate New Orleans and the river. It is said that Gen. Van Doin has refused the request, for he says that before two months he shall have the whole of the Yankee fleet between Vicksburg and Baton Rouge. Gen. Breckinridge has command of the | troops on the opposite side of the river at | Monroe. La., and is marching to capture the Yankee batteries over there, and to prevent supplies reaching the Yankee fleet, the whole | of the Yankee Heet went down the river yes- | terday, for the purpose of securing our batte- | ries at Batton Rouge, but Iam happy to say they haye a very poor chance for doing so, as we have reoccupied the batteries on poth sides of the river and are mounting more vuns and erecting new fortifications.

There was once a child, and he strolNd> &bont’a preat deal, “and thought of a damber of things. Le had absister, who was a child tod and his conetantqompanion. These two used to wonder ali day long.— They wondered at the beauty of flowers ;they wondered at the height and bivengss of, the sky ; they won- dered at the depth of the bright wa- ter; they wondered at the goodness abd power of God, who made the levaly. world. They used to say to one another sometimes ; “Supposing all the children on earth! were te die, would the flowers and the water and the sky be sorry?” They believed they woald be sor- ry. Fer, said they, the bade are the children of the flowers, and the little playfol streams that gambol down the bill gidep are the children of the wafer, and the smallest bright specks playing at hide and seek in the sky all night. muet surely be the chil- dren of the stars; and they would all, be grieved to see their play mates the children of nen, no more. ‘There was one clear shining star that used to come out in the sky be- fore the rest, near the church spire, about the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every night they watched for it, standing hand in hand atthe window. Whoever saw shonl8 ¢alve;.‘and the thorght he did not belong. to-earth alone, but to the star too, beegnee of his sister's angel gohe belote.—Charles Dickens. LITTLE SUSY’S WISH. “Ma,” said little Suey, “let’s go to heaven to-morrow, and see pa; he’s been gone so long now, I want to see him.” The mother wept and folded the Nttle darting to her bosom, for the words opened afresh the wounds of bereavement, which had not healed campletety. “Don't cry, ma,” broke forth the little innocent, ‘you and me will go and see pa to-morrow, and won't he be glad to meet us?” And the lit- tle face grew bright with joyous an ticipation. But the mother only wept more, for she lacked the snblime faith which gave her daughter so much joy. And then the little face clouded, and May and December struggled for the mastery of her conntenance, as achilling doubt crept into her mind 3 and the sweet voice tremu- lously asked : ‘Ma, shan’t I see pa any more !” And the nother, rebuked aud pen- itent, answered with a calmness that reassured the questioner ; “Yes, yes, darling, we shall cer- tainly see papa, in the bright, beau- tiful heaven, where he lives now with the angels, although we cannot go to-morrow, unless God pleases to call us.” “Then, ma,” said little Susy, “please wont you let me ask God to- night to call us to-morrow, for I want to see pa so bad; please do, mother.” it first, cried ont: “J see the star?” And often they cried out both to- gether, knowing so well when it| would rise, and where. So they | grew to be such friends with it that | before lying down in their beds, | they looked out once again to bid it | good night; and when they were | turning ronnd to sleep, they would | Bay : “God bless that star!” But while she was still very young oh! very, very young—the sister drooped, and came to be so very | weak that she could no tonger stand in the window at night; and then the child looked sadly out by him- self, and when he saw the star, turn ed round to the patient pale face on | the bed: “I see the star!” And then a sinile would come upon her face; and then a little weak voice used to say, “God bless my brother and the star.” And so the time came, all too soon, when the child looked ont alone, when there was no face upon the bed, and when there was a little grave among the graves not there | before, und when the star made long | raj}s down toward him, as he saw it through his tears. Now, these rays were so bright, | and they seemed to make such a} beantiful shining way from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dreamed about the star, and dreamed that lying where he was, he saw a train of peo- ple taken up that shining road by angels. And the star opening, show- ing hima great world of light, where many mofe such angels waited to recei?e thein. , All these angels, who were wait- ing turned their beaming eyes upon the people who were carried up in- to the star, and some came out from the long rows in which they stood, and fell upon the people’s necks, and kissed them tencerly, and went away with them down avenues of light, and were so happy in their company, that lying in the bed, he ie for joy. ut there were many angels who) did not go with them, and among. them one he knew. The patient face that had once Jaid upon the bed was glorified and radiant, but his heart found out his sister among all the host. “Ig my brother come?” And be said, “No.” She was turning hopelessiy away, when the child stretched out his aris and said, * O, sister! I am here, take me.’ And then she turned her beaming eyes upon him; and it | was night, and the star was shining into his room, making long rays down toward him, as he saw it through his tears. From that bour forth, the child looked out upon the stare as on the home hé was to go to when his time “ALWAYS GIVING.” “Six qnarters!” said Arletta. “I am so glad grandpa gave us these just now, especially.” “So am I, too,” said Fanny, “for | to-morrow is missionary Sunday ” our schools.” “T don’t think I shall give any of | this to the missionaries, Fanny. || want some Shetland wool, and an-| other crochet needle, and ever 60) many things.

A Welsh clerzyman asked a little girl for the text of his last sermon. The child gave no answer, she only wept. He ascertained that she had no Bible in which for to look for the text. This led him to inquire, and he fonnd that the families around hitn were living without the Bible. This led him to the Committee of the Tract Society in London to adopt means to provide Bibles; and this led to the ‘formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and all the other Bible Sucieties of the world, For the Children’s Column. THE BEAUTIFUL LAND. There is a land immortal— The beautiful of lands ; Beside its ancient portal A silent sentry stands. He only can unde it, And open wide the door}; And mortals who pass through it Are mortals nevermore. Though dark and drear the passage That leadeth to the gate, Yet grace attends the message To souls that watch and wait; And at the tyme appointed A messenger comes down, And guides the Lord’s anointed From cross to glory’s crown. Their sighs are lost in singing, They're blessed in their tears , Their journey heavenward winging, They leave on earth their fears.

SALISBURY, N. C., AUGUST 4, 1862. J. J. BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. EEE : COTTON. Suffering m the North for want of Cotton —~—the success of the North ix this war declared impossible. The following editorial, from the Provi- dence (R. I.) Post, shows very plainly to what straits the North is being brought by this war. Itis a startling exposition of the state of affairs and feeling in the North becoming impressed with hopelessness and despair inthe present struggle: * From the Providence Post, July 18. Our market quotations this morning show the price of cotton ir this city, and indicate very plainly to what we are com- ing. We are to realize unmistakably all the horrors of a cotton famine, not only in this country, but throughout Europe.— Prices are to go up, not down, until there comes a general financial and commercial smash up. cotton in the next three years. Our mills of tine jealousy of the war power of the U. | States which now exists in most of the coun have got to stop; our manufacturers, if find little hearty sympathy south of Ma son’s and Dixon’s line. . And now, we say again, the North is to | bear her full share of suffering. Her cot. ton mills must stop. Her laboring men are to become paupers, The government is going to take care of the niggers ; white people, without bread or empioyment, must take care of themselves. European News through Northern Sources, The New York papers have advices from Europe to the 10th instant. The Herald makes the following editorial summary of the news: a i Although the news has been anticipated, the letters and papers reveal the fact that the rebel sympathisers in England and France, backed by a large portion of the cotton manufacturing interest of both coun- tries, were making the most strenuous ef- forts to impress the cabinets and people with the belief that the Union cause was lost by the three days fighting before Rich. mond, of which they had heard by the | Etna. There is little doubt but they had Indeed, we are to get no more | sn coceded to eome extent, in consequences they are not blind, may already see ruin | tries of the Old World. General McClel- staring them in the face. Rhode Island’s fate will be sealed. At last accounts there were only 218,- 270 bales of cotton in Liverpool, against | 1,123,000 bales at a corresponding date | last year. Were the mills to run on full | time every pound of cotton in England | would be used in four weeks! India, of which we have heard so much in abolition | speeches, supplies no part of the deficiency | occasioned by the |~s of the American ar- | ticle. Instead of sending more than usual | to market, there was afloat, at last accounts, of India cotton, only 45,000 bales, against 240,000 last vear, and 280,000 in 1860. There are millions of persons who bave heretofore beeh employed in cotton manu- factories of Engiand, four-fifths of whom are to be wholly out of employment in a short time! And the same state of things, to an extent fearful to contemplate, is to ex: | ist in New England. 1 “ But we are to have cotton,” say the’ abolitionists. ‘“'Lhis rebellion is to be crushed. the Southern ports‘are to be open- ed, and cotton is to pour in upon us most | plentifully.” This is the talk of crazy fa- | natics and fools. The Southern ports may | be opened; but we shall get no cotton.— | The old crop will be destroyed whether the owners like it or not. They dare not resist A measure so essential to their inde- | pendence. The torch will be applied to ! nearly every bale that remains unburned | to-day: and not more than enough is be- | ing raised for Southern consumption. The | uniform testimony is that there are no cot- | ton fields to be seen on the Mississipsi.— | “Plant corn and not cotton,” was the or- | der, and it has been strictly obeyed. “But next year we will get cotton en-| ough,” some abolitionists will say. We | know better. We shail be lucky if we get | a bale per week through the year. No at- | tempt will be made to raise it until this war | is over; and the war will not end, as things | now look, until even the foundations of Southern industry, Southern business and Southern social life are overturned. Abo- litionism has taken the reins, and it will | not permit us a moment’s rest until the | whole South is thrown into confusion, and all hope of the raising of cotton is destroy- ed. The legislation of this fanatical Con- gress has rendered restoration almost im- possible until nearly the entire white pop- ulation of the South has been extermina- ted and the North has brought upon itself bankruptcy and ruin. The South will not yield to the policy of the abolitionists while resistance is possible; and in spite of all we can do it may prove possible, until Fed- eral Treasury notes are sold for ten cents on the dollar. | | | | | Do we speak despondingly 2? We say only the truth. We warned tbe people in 1856 of just this state of things. We pre- dicted it again in 1860. When the war broke out we believed it might be brought to an end, and the South be brought back to the Union in a year or two, if we follow- ed the conservative policy and asserted on- ly the supremacy of the Constitution. Tn- stead of this, our whole course has beea calculated to exasperate the Southern peo- ple, dishearten Unionists everywhere, and divide the North into factions. We are farther from a final victory than we were one year ago. All that our armies have done has been undone by a reckless Con- gress and a yielding President. We have spent six hundred millions of dollars and sacrificed fifty thousand lives, and got for it all—what? We have saved Maryland and Kentucky and Missouri, by a show of bayonets, and lost them by a show of rad- icalism. The Union cause will hereafter In six months | ' France. lan is assailed in London with respect to his strategy, his dispatches and the taking up of his first position near Richmond. The new tariff of the United States is at- tacked at every point—both in intent and enactment—by the London Times and some of the Paris newspapers. The Dublin Freeman’s Journal of the 10th instant — the last paper—sums up the expression of of feeling towards the measure thus :— '“The new United States tariff is universal- ly condemned throughout England and Journalists whose speciality has been matters of economic and commercial class pronounce it to be simply a perfect prohibition on the importation into at least the North American States of all Europe- an goods; but as against England it ap- plies with special severity and harshness. The undoubted effect of this new arrange- ment will be that, almost immediately on its coming into operation on the first of next month, the prices of nearly all Eng- lish and French manufactured goods will be doubled—in some instances trebled.” The cotton manufacturers of Rouen sent a deputation to the Emperor Napoleon to represent to him that, from the excessively high prices of the raw material, and the falling off in the demand for cotton goods, they must before long close their mills, ard that some amongst them will have to sus- pend payment. Similar representations have been made from Lille, where many of the manufacturers are represented to be in a critical state, and the Emperor helped them with a loan. The Liverpool Courier of the 8th of Ju- ly, speaking on the cotton crisis says :— “There is in stock 200,000 bales. From all sources except America, which is now a consumer, not a producer, we may expect 600,000 bales. At the rate of 30,000 bales per week, this quantity would last us about twenty-six weeks, or until the end of December.” Mr. Lindsay, member of Parliament, had adjourned his Parliamentary motion for the recognition of the South by England a se- cond time. It was to come up again on the 18th of July. From the Providence Post. THE RADICAL POLICY. It is painfully apparent to every observ- er of passing events, that the more Radical of the Republicans in and out of Congress have abandoned all expectation of restor- ing the goverament. They bave not for months aimed to! accomplish this. They care nothing for the Constitution—nothing for anything, save to grab what they can get, and destroy everything else. They are trying to make the war a war of exter- mination, as against the white men of the South ; and by every method in their pow- er are encouraging a spirit of bitterness and hate which is more significant of out- [right barbarism than the civilization and refinement of which we have so loudly boasted. They encouraged the men of the border slave States to make immense sac- rifices for the defence of the Union, and are now threatening them with the instant emancipation of their slaves if they will not themselves inaugurate some more grad- ual system. Confiscation is meant only for these States, for here only can the law which has passed Congress ever be enforc- ed. They know that these States are tied, hand and foot, and cannot resist their op- pression, These are to be kept, though only in part protected against the ravages of the Confederates, while the cotton States are to be left out of the Union and pun- ished. They are to be used, perhaps, as negro colonies ; at least, nothing short of the actual extermination of the white race is now promised. Correspondence of the Baltimore Traveller. What the Fedcral Soldiers endnred whilst fall- ing back on the James River. I could occupy columns of this paper with a description of scenes on the road. Men crippled with rheumatism, pale and feeble with recent wounds, sick and ghast— ly, hobbling along, some with canes, and some leaning on their comrades for sup- port. Five thousand Wayovs, making trains miles in extent, covering acres of the fields or winding along over the'toads, some car— rying baggage, some rations, some ammu- nition, and some sick and wounded men ; ambulances, troops, cavalry, artillery, strag~ glers, covered with perspiration and half smothered in dust; men with blood on their faces and their heads bound up, blood on their coats and their arms bound up, blood on their pants, and a painful limp showing a wound in the leg; men lying down by the road side utterly worn out, men flat on their back in a dead faint, or so fast asleep the trump of dvom would hardly rouse them ; men seriously wound- ed borne along on stretchers or in ambu— lances, and looking at you sadly, so wist- fully, that it made your very heart ache to see them ; men who had lost their regi- ments during a too zealous charge, or run | away from them in unconquerable terror, | all huddled together, without food, without officers, and lying down in the open field to sleep. Such were some of the scenes | on the road, and never shall I forget them. The fanatical and detestable Yankee Congress, which has Just adjourned, cul minated its long series of outrageous le- gislation by smuggling into a bill a provi- sion placing the negro upon an equality with a white man in the courts of justice. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes: A great deal of astonishment and indig- nation is expressed here on the discovery that @ section was smuggled into the act supplementary to the act for the release of certain persons held to service or labor in the District of Columbia, which places the begro upon an equality with a white man in the courts of justice here. The section alluded to provides, that in all judicial proceedings in the District of Columbia there shall be no exclusion of any witness on account of color. Even in Ohio, where there are few negroes, in conferring upon them the right to testify in the courts, it was decreed that their testimony should go to the jury for only what it was worth. The sudden elevation of the negro, just emancipated, to an equality with white men io the capital of the nation is regard- ed as something worse than an indiscre— tion or an error of judgment.

Derivation and Meaning of the Word Yan- kee.—The Richmond Whig has discovered in a record of travel kept by one Thomas Anburey, and published in London, in 1791, the following in reference to the derivation and meaning of the word Yankee. Having referred tothe New Englanders as Yankees, he says: ‘* A-propos—it may not be amiss just here to observe to you the etymology of this term. It is derived from a Cherokee word, enakke, which signifies coward and slave. This epithet of Yanke was bestowed upon the inhabitants of New England by the Virginians, for not assist- ing them in a war with the Cherokees, and they have always been held in derision by it.” The holster pistols of the lamented Gen. Barnard E. Bee, one of the heroes of Ma- nassas, have been presented by his widow to the Confederate States; and Captain Childs, of the Ordnance Department, pre- sented them to Colonel John H. Morgan, a chieftain worthy to wear them. A man who owned a lot in the city of California, during the late flood, went to see if his fence was washed away. He found that he had lost his fence, but had caught a fine two story house, which made him a good deal more than square in the operation, DARING FEAT—BURNING OF A FEDERAL VESSEL, On Friday last some half dozen men at- tached to the Prince George Cavalry, con- ceived the idea of destroying one or more of the Federal vessels, which for several days past have literally covered the surface of the river in front of Gen. McClellan’s camp. Having procured a boat, (the largest adcessible,) Corporal Cooke, Thos. Martin, William Daniel, Alexander Dimi- try and William Williams, embarked from Coggins’ Point about one o’cloek Saturday mowing, and pulled off quietiy fora very fine looking achoover of 163 tona burthen,| lying in the stream some half a mile from the Southern shore. As thev neared the vessel, a small dog on board discovered their movements and commenced barking furiously. Two gunboats were lying but afew hundred yards distant, and many Steamers and sail vessels in close proximi- ty, but the enterprise had been underta- ken, and the brave bovs could not think of returning without accomplishing their ob- ject. Making fast to the vessel, they en- deavored to seize the dog, and stop his mouth by sending him to the bottom, but the animal would not allow a stranger's hand to be placed upon him. His bark- ing had now aroused the Captain of the vessel, who cume upon deck, and desired to know the cause of the untimely visit. He was answered by Martin, who quickly sprang to the deck of the schooner, and informed the Captain that he had come at the bidding of Gen. McClellan, to effect his arrest. The Captain expressed great surprise, declared his innocence of crime, | and wished to know what were the charges | against him. He was told by Martin that he was not there to decide upon his gnilt or innocence, nor to prefer charges of any sort, but to effect his arrest as Gen. Mc- Clellan had ordered, The Captain then consented to submit, and manifesting no disposition to resist, was allowed to get in- to the boat untied. In the meantime the other five soldiers had reached the deck of the vessel, and gone into the cabin. Here they found a straw bed, which was ripped open, set on fire, and the cabin dopr closed. The party speedily disembarked, leaving the crew behind, who, it is supposed, es- caped on the small boat belonging to the schooner. They were not taken because the boat used by the boarding party, had a hole near its top, and would carry but seven men. As the surprise party pulled off for the Southern shore, the Captain of the schooner had his suspicions aroused as to the arrest having been made by order of McClellan, and remarked to his captors that the General’s Headquarters were not on that side of the river. He was told to “hold his peace;” that his captors knew what they were about; that they had changed their mind ; and intended taking bim to a Confederate, instead of a Federal General. The Captain now became great- ly alarmed, and besought the clemency of his captors, stating with tears in his eyes, that he had a wife and children in New York, who would be not only deeply dis- tressed at his loss, but greatly impoverish- ed. His fears were quieted by the assuran- ces that as he was a subject of the Lincoln Governinent, he must consider his capture as entirely legitimate, and himself a pris- oner of war, Upon reaching the shore the Captain declared that bad he seeo his captors ap- proach from the Southern bank, the ruse adopted would not have availed, for he bad arms aboard, (Endfield Rifles,) and would have only surrendered with his life. In the passage from the vessel to the shore, not a ray of light, save the lamp in the rigging, was to be seen, and our boys had made up their minds that the vessel would not burn, and that the arrest of the Captain was the only result of their enterprise. But they were soon most agree- ably disappointed, for as they ascended the bank, the fire suddenly burst out, and ina few minutes the flames were licking the sides of the vessel from bow to stern. She burned slowly, but brightly, and the flames illuminated the river and the country around for miles. Our informant states that it was quite amusing to witness the commotion among the fleet of Old Abe, consisting of some two bundred steam and sailing craft. Steam was crowded on gun- boats and transports, and the sailing craft were quickly towed out of the reach of the burning schooner. She continued to burn from half past one until the dawn of day, when only such portions as wege be- low the water’s edge remained. The schooner was nearly new, called the Louisa Rives, and commanded by Capt. Joho A. Jones, of New York. She was 163 tons burthen, loaded with corn and provisions, and ae at yar ee of o. Capt. Jones was broug Deanery Saturday and lodged in jail, NUMBER 11. where he wow rominates on the daring of the rebels, and laments over the fortunes of war. ‘ Just above the Louisia Rives, several schooners were moored, but a gunboat ly- ing along sida, it was considered somewbat imprudent to attempt to burn them, An- other batch of vessels lay not far below the Louisa: Rives, but a gunboat was near thesegiso. Between the destroyed vessel and the Burkeley shore, the water was studded with vessels, but the Confederate force was too small to venture in their midst.

THE WAR IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY, We cannot think otherwise than that the recent movements of our light forces in the vicinity of Nashville and Louisville are but preliminary to the more im portant ones speedily to follow. Morgan would hardly have thrown himself with only 2000 or 3000 men almost upon the banks of the Ohio, right in the midst of the Ken- tucky tories, unless it had been precon- certed between himself and Gen. Bragg, with the understanding that he was to be duly reported. So, too, of the dash of Gen. Forrest upon Murfreesborough and Lebanon, in the direction of Nashville. It is not to be supposed that at a time and under circumstances like tbe present, the operations of these two distinguished lead- ers are of a merely accidental or ephemer- al character. They can only, in reasona- ble estimation, be the initiatory steps to a general movement of our Western army, baving for its object the expulsion of the Yankees from Tennessee, and the deliver- ance of Kentucky from ber own viperous brood of Unionists who have so long held her in bondage the most ignoble, A lit: tle more than three months only remain to sweep from those States the infamous myr- midons of Lincoln, and restore them to the Confederacy in their full freedom and sovereignty. Ifin that time the work is not done, a rise of the waters will render ita buodred times more difficult, if not actually impracticable. We trust that we shall soon be cheered with information of the capture of Nashville, and of the trai- tor scoundrel Andrew Johnson. ‘This would be intelligence worth rejoicing over, associated as it would be in our 1oinds with the coming defeat and capture of the whole Yankee force in Tennessee and North Alabama, together with all their stores of every description, Forrest and Morgan have opened the ball splendidly. Let what they have done be followed quickly up by the main army and the campaign will be a glorious one. All eyes are now turned with intense in- terest to the seat of war in Tennessee and Kentucky.— Pet. Hzpress, Refused Them.— We mentioned the cir- cumstances of the death of one of the wounded Yankees, in Saturday’s Lzpress, while en route to City Point to be sent North. Another one died soon afterwards and the dead bodies were taken down to the Point to be handed over to their late kith and kin, to be sent home to their families, but we are informed the surgeons or whoever received the prisoners, posis tively refused to receive the corpses. The reason whereof we could not ascertain.— The bodies were consequently buried in the neighborhood of the Point. We can- not but feel same sympathy at the fate of these unbappy men, who have thus died while almost, as it were, in sight of their homes. It is not the part of the Yankees, however, to pay any respect to their dead privates, though they use them to the ut- most while living.— Pet, Hxprese. Saving the Locomotives.—Upwards of $40,000 worth of half-destroyed engines and cars were abandoned on the York Ri- ver railroad by the enemy in their retire- ment to the James river. The wrecks are now beirg brought up to the city, and it is probable that all can be repaired and made to render their service to the Confederacy. —Richmond EHraminer. The Yankee Prisoners.—About eight hundred of the Yankee wounded were sent down to City Point on Friday, four hun- dred more yesterday, and between two hundred and three hundred were brought up, including the sick and the nurses from Savage's Station, leaving about five hun- dred in the Libby prison.— Hzaminer. General Dissatisfaction now commands the Northern forces. From the Richinond Examiner. A large portion of the ple of the North have, for some time, been exé ing a pressure upon their government to employ the negro slaves of the South in the Federa) military ser- vice. The interest attached to this measure is ridiculous in a military point of view. The issue hus been raised to a factitious importance, the abolitionists have treated it as decisive of the fortunes of the contest, and the arming of the negroes bas been represented in the North as the synonym of vigor in the war. When Mr. Forney wanted to assure the people of Pennsylvania that the policy af the administra- tion at Washington had become grand and de- cisive, and that there were vo longer any hopes of the “rebellion,” he had only to mention that the Federal armies were to be recruited from the negro slaves and the announcement was caught up with enthusiastic cheers. The idea of increasing the military resour- ces of the North by negro soldiers is supreme- ly ridiculous ; it is in keeping with the bluster and the fanfarronade of the North. The mere putting of Cuffy in red flannel trowsers does not make him a soldier. The negro, timid, im- pressed with the superiority of the white man, unused to arms, is no soldier. His labor is pon- derous and inaccurate ; he hasnone of the skill of civilization; he is a harmless, uncivilized creature, without the feroeity of the savage. The idea is amusing to our people, who know the childish nature of the slaves, of their being arrayed a,-ainst the white men of the South as soldiers. Those who are familiar with the hab- its of the negro slave know there is a magnetic influence over him in the voice and counten- ance of ihe white man; that his sense of the superiority of the Caucasian pervades all the ideas of his life; and that his disposition, with some rare exceptions of ferocity, is coneiliato- ry, submissive, and timid to childishness. The idea of making these creatures soldiers, to fight the South is so ludicrous that we might afford to laugh at it if it did not involve a inonstrous and devilish cruelty to the poor slave himself in making him a vicarious sacrifice on the bloody altar of war. The only way to obtain the negro armies which the North proposes to raise on the svil of the South will be to impress them. General Hunter, having freed by proclamation the slaves of three States, could not obtain one full regiment of blacks even by the temptation of red flannel breeches and brass buttons. The negro has but little stomach for gunpowder.— To impress into the war the simple and harm- tess slave, and to arm him against his master, is a military policy at which we can afford to be amused rather than alarmed; but to the negro himself it is a wanton, cowardly cruelty that compels him to fight in the place of the white-livered Yankee and makes him a sacri- fice of blood to appease the demon spin of civil war. FROM FREDERICKSBURG. From a gentleman who left Fredericksburg Monday evening, and arrived in this city by the Central curs, we have some interesting news from that town. General Mansfield, the former provost mar- shal of Fredericksburg, was last week placed under arrest and sent to Washington. The charges against him are tco much leniency to the rebels during his admivistration, and sym- pathy with the Southern cause. He has been succeeded in the office of provost by one Cap- tain Scott, wha has already given evidence that he will exercise his authority with a tyranny and harshness well calculated tv make him pop- ular with his government. General Patrick is the military commandant of the post. The force now actually on this side of the Rappahannock consists of one brig- ade. The Twentieth regiment of New York State militia, arrived there last Saturday from the North. Bat, from the appearace of their fents, there appears to be u very large force on the north bunk of the river. By order, the importation of goods from the North has been prohibited. A schooner, with a cargo consigued to Hart, Haynes & Co., had been seized by tbe provost marshal. ‘I'he cause of this prohibition is the fear that medicines and other much-needed goods will find their way to Richmond. The eeremony of administering the oath of allegiance to the eitizens was to be performed on Tuesday. Ourinforment believes that not more than a dozen citizens will con- sent to take the oath. Numbers have run off within the past week and others were making their arrangements to dothe same. The town was filled with runaway negroes, numbers of whom might be seen sauntering about the streets, tricked out in Yunkee uniforms. In their raid on the Central railroad the Yankees were guided by a negro named Dab- ney, the slave of Mr. Jerrold, of Spottsylvanta. Mr Jerrold, who has lost every one of his slaves but one, now offers a reward of one thousand dollars to any one who will put him in posses- sion of Dabney for the space of an hour. When the Yankees visited Mr. Jerrold’s they deman- ded his fire-arms, which, when they were giv- en up, were handed over to one of his own ne- groes amid shouts of laughter from the aboli- tion gang. The citizens of Cuaroline begged our inform- ant to tell the government here of the outrage- ous manner in which they were being robbed and pillaged by the invaders.— Richmond Ex- aminer, July 31. DR. WILLIAM P. RUCKER. Aswill be seen by a dispatch in our telegra- phic column, Major Bailey, in his successful attack on Summersville, captured Dr. Rucker, a man, perhaps of all others, the most odious to the loyal citizens of Western Virginia. He isa native Virginian, and was at one time a toler- ably successful practitioner of medicine in the county of Botetourt. He was, however, al- ways regarded as a demagogue and a man of bad private eharacter. Two years ago, being then an inspector of sione-masonry on the Cov- ington and Ohio railroad, he grossly insulted a workman on the road, and, on his resenting it, _ ,hewed him to pieces with a bowie-knife in a “\ most bratal manner. In Covington this act yewas always regarded as a premeditated and cold-blooded murder, and in consequence of the public faeling against him Rucker was compell- ed tu leave that section of country. Last summer he returned to Botetourt coun- ty and proclaimed his intention of raising a company for the Confederate service, but his loyalty being even then suspected, he met with little encouragement and obtained few rectuits. Shorily after the failure of this scheme he went over to the Yankees, by whom he was soon commissioned a captainof Ohiocavalry. When the Yankées visited Covington, Rucker went directly to the house of the widow of the man he had murdered, and having robbed it of eve- rything fre cduld carry away, broke up and de- stroyed the farviture. is \ is Last spring he guided the Yenkees in ‘the raid made by them on the Central railroad, when they burntand-dest:oyed the bridge over the Cow re river. m The vaiversal opinion is that thie murderer, scoundrel and renegade should be hung with- out the form of a trial. But we presume he will be protected by his commission and parol- ed as a prisoner of war.— 16. FROM GORDONSVILLE. The Central railway train reached this city yesterday evening at the usual hour. The on- ly news of importance brought by the passen- gersis that Yankee deserters who huve just come into our lines say that Pope has been re- cently largely reinforced, and that bis force now exceeds fifty thousand men. An advance by the enemy was hourly ex- pected. The opposing forces are in close prox- imity, and skirmishing, which has so far result- ed in some loss on both sides, is briskly kept up.— Ib. A CAVALRY RECONNOISSANCE. On Thursday Jast a cavalry force of forty- five men, under the command of Lieatenant Robbins, of the Ninth Virginia (Gen. Stuart’s cavalry), pevetrated into King & Queen, Car- oline, end a portion of Fairfax counties, on a recounissance. The adventurous band return- ed last night, bringing with them two Yankee soldiers and upwards of thirty-five Union citi- zens and negroes as prisoners. The Union cit- izens had made themselves obnoxious tu the cause by their conduct, and hence their arrest A quentity of Yankee stures were destroyed and the cavalry returned without the loss of a man. On Saturday last a force of eight hundred of Stuart’s cavalry went out to punish the Bea- ver Dam depredators and pushed within twelve miles of Fredericksburg, retiring as a large force of Yankee cavalry, infantry and artillery were sent against them, it not being their purpose to engage them, except, in skirmishing.— Jb. Yesterday two privateersmen who had been captured some months ago by a Federal vessel arrived in this city, having etfected their es- cape froin Fort Delaware. The intelligent sto- ry told by these men of their suffering, and their accounts of maltreatment at the hands of the enemy is enough to turn the blood of our people to fire —Rich. Examiner. Z ee The North has put a spice of demonism in this war. The Yankee government de clares that it is to be prosecuted with “vig- our”—whicb means with wantonnuess and brutality ; that the slaves are to be armed ; that negro equality and emancipation are henceforth to be rallying cries in the South ; that private citizens in the invaded districts of the Confederacy are to be kidnapped, their property taken for the uses of the ar- my, and themselves driven into penniless exile. The people of the South are not to be dismayed by thesé measures. They are, in fact;weak military measures; their effect will be to redouble the zeal of our troops, to heighten their devotion and to exasper- ate their courage; and it is even possible that a government which has so Jong lag ged behind public sentiment may at last be laslted into action by the savage decrees of a merciless enemy. The violent and brutal spirit of the North in the prosecution of this war exceeds the most despotic examples in history. It is proposed in States conquered by the ene- my to impress meu as patricides, to array them against their own fellow citizens, and to draft in Louisiana and Maryland troops to fight against the South, aud to imbrue their hands in the blood of their brothers. Sucb an order is without a parallel even in the worst despotisms of Europe. Austria pressed in ber military service troops from some of the conquered districts of Italy ; but she had been in occapation of these districts for years. The value of such an unnatural and brutal policy was attested at Magenta and Solferino, where the Italian troops enlisted against their country threw away their arms and marched under white flags over to the lines of the French and Sardinian armies. The troope drafted in the conquered districts of the South will do better by firing a volley into the ranks of the enemy before throwing away their arms and marching over to our lines, The North labours under a devilish in- sanity in believing that the South, which cannot be conquered by its grand armies, and by its vast military resources, may be subdued by a war of brigands, pillagers ana emancipated negroes. Listory shows that this last style of war is the least effective in the subjugation of a nation; that great and permanent results in war are accomplished by the weight of yreat armies, the genius of great generals, the ardor and discipline of troops. Village, confiscation, murder, incendiarism, add nothing to the vigour of war; they merely brutalize it, heighten the of the world.— Richmond Hraminer. The Stallfederate Platform,—The onty hope which the Stallfederates have of carrrying the State, is based on the charge which they are making that a majornty of the people of the State are sympathizers with Lincoln and in fa- vor of a re-censtruction of the Union. their platform. Shall they be allowed to suc- ceed? If they do, a monstrous calumny will have been endorsed by the people, and Abra- bam Lincoln will have been told that a majori- ty of our people are his friends —Standard. To the Newspapers of Richmond —We wu- derstand that the Confederate Surgeons at the camp of conscripts near this Ciiy, are in the habit of charging a fee of ten dollars for exam- ifing substitutes.

Crumprer, of Ashe, which took place near Richmond a few days since, of a wound received in a conflict with the enemy below Richmond. The wound was inflicted by a minnie ball, which passed through his Jungs and came out near his shoulder blade. Maj. Crumpler belonged to Col. Baker’s (formerly Ransom’s) caval. ry. He entered the service as a Captain, and was promoted to be Major of the regi- ment. He was among the foremost in the charge in which he lost his life. We had the pleasure of conversing with him at length, a few days before his death. He was on his way to Richmond, and spoke in the most animated terms of his regiment, and of the opportunity which would soon be presented of meeting the enemy. A braver or a nobler spirit than his never animated a human body. He was a young gentleman of education and fine abilities, and had already taken a re- spectable position among the leading pub- lic men of the State. He opposed the dis- solution of the Union up to Lincoln’s prog- lamation; and when told, in the House of Commons, of which he was a member, that he was tardy in the work of revolution, he replied that he would cling to the old government as long as he honorably could, but L if any attempt should be made to coerce the South, he woutd resist it, and that when the day of battle arrived, he and his friends would be found as far in the front, among the broken columns of the enemy, as those who appeared so anxious for the war. Most nobly bas he redeemed his pledge. The whole country mourns. ‘‘ Red bat- tle stamps his foot,” and his victims fall on every hand.

A special dispatch to the Republican, dated at the ‘‘ Narrows of New River, July 28,” via Dublin, July 29, says that the gallant Major Bailey, commanding four coinpanies of cavalry, in all about one hundred and fifty men, were sent to the rear of the enemy by Col. McCaus- land, and succeeded in storming Summerville, the county seat of Nicholas, on Friday morn- ing, at daylight. They killed and captured the entire garrison, including the Lieut. Col. commanding, named Starr, and three other commissioned officers, besides sixty-two non- commissioned officers and privates, a few of whom were paroled. Not being able to bring away the large quantities of commissary, quar- termaster and ordnance stores fuund in the place, Major Bailey committed them to the flames. Major Bailey brought to this place a large number of Enfield rifles, horses, and mules. The prisoners arrived at the Salt Sul- phur Springs this morning. The notorious renegade and spy, Dr. Wm. Rucker, is among the prisoners. The telegraph office was destroyed and tbe government operator captured. This affair is regarded as one of the most brilliant exploits of the war inthis section. Its successful execution has spread the wildest consternation and dismay throughout the Yan- kee army in this neighborhood. FROM TENNESSEE. Return of Morgan to Tennessee—Great and suceessfal raid. LyncusurG, July 30. The Knoxville Register of yesteiday an- nouuces the return of Col. Morgan’s command to Tennessee, after one of the most daring and successful raids into the enemy’s country ever recorded, the reported defeat near Ewing’s be- sng untrue, and his force much larger than what he started with. He left Knoxville with only about one thousand men, and in all his engagements lost not more than fifteen or twen- ty killed, and thirty to forty wounded. The present whereabouts of Colonel Mor- gan is not given PROM SAVANNAH. The fate Federal attack on our Batteries. Savannau, July 31. Five gunboats opened on our batteries at Genesis Point, Ogechee river. An engazement ensued, lasting several hours, after which the gunboats backed down aud retired to the sound. It is thought one of the boats was considera- bly damaged. The quarters of the fort were | Point. damaged by the enemy’s shells, but nobody hurt on our side, | os _ | ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ENEMY’S | FLEET IN JAMES RIVER. \ Pererssure, August 1.—A Jarge force of ar- | ullery, including many heavy guns, having been placed in position at and below Coggin’s Point yesterday, and sighted, opened on Mc- Clellan’s fleet and camp this morning at 1 o'clock. The firing continued fiercely for two hours. The enemy’s gunboats replied very fee- | bly, doing no damage. At the first round from our gunseverv light in the fleet was extinguish- ed. Heavy damage is supposed to have been inflicted. A great crashing was heard in the river, whether from our balls or the vessels col- liding is unknown. The enemy was, evidently, greatly alarmed. Theentire fleet had disap- | peared this morning at daylight, and such of MeClellan’s camp as was visible seemingly in great commotion. One man was killed on our side and six wounded—two belonging to the ! Paye battery budly—all caused by an accident to one of our own guns. All quiet to-day. SECOND DISPATCH. Pererssurc, August 1.--P. Mi—The casu- alties last night were Wm. F. Dalton, of Lou- isa, killed; Thomas Farquhar, of Richmoud, severely wounded in the thigh ; Patrick Graham of Richmond, slightly in the left shoulder—all of Dabney’s battery. Also, H.

The enemy’s loss was three killed and wounded. Ours was less. He also captured twelve wagons, with horses attached, and equipments, a large number of arms, the camp and garrison equipage of four companies, and a quantity of supplies, includipg five hun- dred bushels of corn in gatks he depot tele- graph line, bridge and téestla work were ile- stroyed. { c4 : oUt oi ale it that the Northern papera.apd oJ ple look more steadily to North Carolina for manifestations of disaffection to the Southern Confederacy than to any other State belonging to itt--Register June 28th. We will tell you. The Lincolnites look to thie State for friends, and count on a re-con- struction of the government, because, for ex- ample, of the following, which appears twice a week under your Editorial head: ‘Remember that if Zebulon Vance shall be elected Governor, the Yankees will claim it as an indubitable sign that the Union sentiment is in the ascendancy in the heart of the Southern Oonfederacy.” As Nathan said unto David, ‘‘ Thou art the man!” he Yankees read what you say, and take courage. Remembering that you publish the oldest journe! in the State, they ponder on the above statement of yours about Col. Vance and hie friends, and hearing as they do, that Col. Vance will certainly be elacted, they re- Joice at the “ indubitable sign,” and use their exertions to raise men and means to subjugate the South. You are, in effect, saying to the Yankees, Come on—a majority of our people ave your friends. You know you are telling them a falsehood, and inflicting injury on your country; but what is that to you and to the corrupt faction for which you speak, if by pos- sibility you can secure for two years more the offices and spoils — Standard. CAPT H. C. GORRELL. A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following account of Capt. Henry C. Gorrell, of Guilford. who fell in the late battles near Richmend : *‘Isaw a melancholy sight a day or two since. It was that of a young Confederate of- ficer, Capt. Henry C. Gorrell, from Greensboro’, N.C.. and Capt. of Company E. 24 North Car- olina Regiment who fell in an attack, which he had led on our batteries, Saturday evening 14th inst. In his hand he held hissword. It was one of the old regulation swords, manufacturad by Ames, at Springfield, Mass. It is marked *U.S.” Alas, that it was ever drawn against our country’s cause. The scabburd and belt were gone—flung impetuously away in that gallant but vain charge. In his pockets were a watch, his pocket book, a lock of hair, tied with a piece of white satin ribbon, and a sprig of cedar, carefully tied and inelosed in the same way asa meinento. His commission was also in his pecket, and a note for $500, &c. I trust the money will be given to his heirs by those who found it, but the sword whose use was so perverted, that should remain in loyal hands forever.” COL. VANCE. We learn from a friend just from the camps- that Gen. Ransom’s brigade was ordered toleave its encampment near Drury’s Bluff, on the 30th, for City Point. Col. Vance’s regiment belongs to this brigade. We have just conversed with a friend, who saw Col. Vance, in Petersburg, on Wednesday night last, about nine o’clock. The Colonel was passing through with his regiment, towards City Our friend walked with him for a mile. He was on foot, having given hit horse to one of his sick soldiers. The Colonel and future Governor was in good health and spirits.—Ral- eigh Standard, Aug. 2. For the Salisbury Watchman. Camp Asupy, near LyNcuBurG, VA., July 26th, 1862.

The Bible. consists of sixty-six sep- arate books, gontaiping many hun- dred perfectly distinctand separate treatises, with no other connection than that they treat of the same gen- eral matters, or were composed by the same persons. They occupied a period of fifteen or sixteen centuries in their produc- tion,’and cover, historically and pro- phetically, the whole period of man’s existence upon earth. They embrace every kind of writing, every sort of information, and every imaginable subject. History, government, laws, institutions, manners, customs, opin- ions, education, morals, religion, philosophy, discourses of every de- scription, poetry in all its depart- ments, biography, epistolatory cor- respondence: the whole circle of the sciences furnishes nothing that is not alluded to—the utmost com- ass of human society and human interests exhibits nothing that is not in some way brought to notice, and every aspect under which human nature has ever presented it distinct- ly stated and considered. About thirty writers were engag- ed in its composition, and they were from every rank in life. They were persons of every sort of tempera- ment, from the most gentle to the most perverse, or every sort of en dowment, from the most exalted to the most unpretending ; and of eve- ry time of life, from early manhood to extreme old age; of every grade of attainment, from unlettered sim- plicity to boundless knowiedge; and of every condition, from the deepest wretchedness to the most consum- mate human felicity. Yet all these men, through all these centuries, treating of all these subjects, never produced the smallest solecism, the smallest discrepancy of fact, of prin- ciple, or even of opinion. Every one agrees in all things with every one of the rest, and they all agree with all that has since been discov- ed ot the condition of the universe, of the course of nature of the order of providence. They seemed to be endowed with those sublime gifts, that awful intel- since and that superhuman insight which can only be expressed by the word inspired. There is a gravity, a concentra- tion, a weight in all their utterances, and at the same time a solemnity, an earnestness and a pathos which im- presses the reader beyond any other uman composition. The ceremonial system is a monu- ment of skill and power which, con sidered as a mere human divice, is wholly inexplicable. The Psalms combine the expres- sion of the most abstract and exalt- ed truths with the whole range of our religious emotions, in a manner which all the rest of mankind have been unable to approach. In the Ten Commandments of ali our duty to God is reduced to four general propositions, and all of our duty to each other to six others. The central object of the New Tes- tament—Jesus of Nazareth—in his person, his character and his work, has attracted the gaze and admira- tion of a world. The Lord’s Prayer is a mowel of all devotion, and the Sermon on the Mount a model of all discourses. The Parables, by their amazing power, stamp them as superhuman. The Bible is defined most simply and comprehensively as God’s Book. As Goa’s book, it differs infinitely from all others, and should be ap- proached in a spirit and handled by a method altogether peculiar to it- self. Having the Infinite Omnisci- ent Father of all Spirits for its au- thor, and infallit'e truth for its mat- ter, it must be approached with awe, and every word clearly contained in it must be received with unquestion- ing faith, as of ultimate authority beyond which there is no appeal.— The Bible also is its own only ade- quate interpreter. Being God’s word, it is higher than the rule of human reason, or the light of haman expe- rience, and its dark places can be suc- cessfully illustrated only by com- paring Aevipeats by Scripture, under the guidance and light of the prom- ised Spirit—The first rule, and most important of all, then, to be carried with us practically from the SD beginning to the end, is reverence, faith, love and fervent prayer. We mast become as little children un- der the guidance of the Spirit. Lo this day of the chaotic maltiplica tion of books, it is imperatively ne- ceasary that we shon'd fix the prin- ciple firmly in our minds, that a true education results from a tho- rough mastery of one subject, and not from a vague smattering of ma- ny. Truly great men have almost always been in a strict sense men of one book, and tlie most completely educated men the world has ever seen have been men the most deep- ly learned in the Bible. It is a full curriculum in itself; it affords food and exercise for every faculty—a free and symmetrical development for the entire man. It is a school of God, and its instructions are the dis- cipline through which infant saints euter upon the active life of heaven. The reading of the Bible is your life-work ; you have a life for it, and it is the chief end of your life.— “Think of living,” was the pregnant maxim of the thoughtful German. Your life is no idle dream, but a so- lemn reality. It is your own. It is all you have to confront eternity with. Work, then, while itis called to-day, for the night of death cometh when no man can work. And now that you have read thus far, will you not resolve that you will search the Scriptures, according to the command of Christ himself. John v. 39: “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.” You have in this sacred volume the biography of Jesus—what he willed, and said, and did to those who sought him eighteen hundred years ago and more. And that word of Christ, which gave life and salva- tion, hope and healing, unto them, like a ray of light, springing forth as from a central source, comes stream ing onward through all time, down even to us this day, undiminished and undecaying in its course. It comes onward, over all that lapse of centuries, fresh and gracious, and omnipotent and faithful, till it reach- es you, if you are willing to be sav- ed, and speaks even to you the majestic word of mercy, “I am thy salvation.” The Bible makes known the will of God to man for his redemption. It is the word of Everlasting God, and shows that if we accept the great salvation it offers so freely, we shall be happy forever—if we reject it, we are undone. Notwithstanding all the efforts which the enemies of the Bible have made to destroy it, it still tives, to condemn the wicked, to justify the righteous, and point its opponents to the Lamb of God, its sun and centre, and its everlasting light and glory. “In creation God shows us his hand, but in redemption he gives us his heart.” Oh, then, read the Bible— read it until you love to read it, and pray over it until you love to pray over it.—Learn to sit at the feet of the Great Teacher, who will help yon to know, love, serve and enjoy God, both now and forever. PO iy The Captain and his Child. We were crowded in the cabin ; Not a soul would dare to sleep ; It was midnight on the waters, And a storm was on the deep. ‘Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered by the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder, ‘“ Cut away the mast!” So we shuddered there in silence— For the stoutest held his breath— While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with death. And as thus we sat in darkness, Each one busy with his prayers, “ We are lost!” the Captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs. But his little daughter whispered, As she took his clayey hand : “Tsn't God upon the water, Just the same as on land ?” Then he kissed the little maider, And he spake in better cheer, , And we anchored safe in harbor, When the moon was shining clear. ——_ +o — Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be Re on the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Death of Col. Lovgoy—We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Col. George 8, Lovejoy, which occurred at the residence of his father, in this City, on Sunday night last. Colonel Lovejoy had been in feeble health for some time, and had been compelled on this account to re tire from the service. He was an able officer, having received a military educa— tion at West Point. But when his State summoned her sons to arms, he responded to the call, and offered his best energies in her defence. His death is no doubt the result of exposure in service, and he is thus as much a martyr in the cause of indepen- dence as if he had fallen in battle. He was a young man of sound moral principles and noble impulses. His death will be long deplored by a large circle of relatives and friends.—Aal. Standord. The Heavy Guns of McClellans Army, —It is now believed that a large number of seige guns, designed to have been plan- ted around Richmond, were at the White House when the Yankees evacuated that place, and that they were thrown into the Pamunkey river. Everything that has transpired since the stampede of McClel- lan’s army proves that arrangements were nearly perfected for an immediate advance upon the capital, and the purpose undoubt- edly was to pursue the same system of un- civilized warfare that has marked the pro- gress of the Yankees elsewhere. The blow struck by the Confederate forces was a timely one. Beyond the frustation of a scheme initiated immediately after the bat- tle of Manassas, it occasioned the destruc- tion of war material so vast in extent that the Federal censors are driven to the sub- terfuge of falsehood in order to conceal the value in dollars and cents, by which the popular clamor at the North is to some ex- tent allayed.— Rich. Dispatch, The Federals Skedalding From Cum- berland Gap.—We have information from a gentleman just through the enemy’s lines that tbe Federal force which lately took possession of Cumberland Gap has evacu- ated that position. and made tracks back into Kentucky again. We presume they were frightened off either by the prospect of starvation, or by certain demonstrations made by the Confederate troops in that neighborhood, who worked as if they were terrible in earnest. From the same source we learn tbat large bodies of Federal troops have recently been passing through Nash- ville towards Chattanooga. Our folks there, we may say without divulging any- thing contraband, are fully prepared for them. We may look for interesting and stirring news from that quarter, or from Middle Tennessee, shortly. We regard Tennessee, if not Kentucky, as now in a fair way for speedy disenthralment. We shall see.—Anoxville Register, 11th. From the North Carolina Presbyterian. CURE FOR CANCER. The juice of the Sheep sore! put in a pewter plate and exposed to the sun until it becomes the consistence of a salve, then applied to the Cancer and repeated until the latter falls out with all its fibres. Se- vero pain accompanies the operation—but the cure is certain. This was told me by a lady who witness- ed the process. The face of the sufferer where the cancer was became much in- flamed and swollen and the pain excruciat- ing, and when it dropt out, had the ap- pearance of a large spider’s legs. The cavity was deep—but soon healed and fill- ed up, and there was never a return of the disease. I have been thus particular be- cause the recipe bas been tried, but pain and inflammation following, it was believ- ed not the proper remedy and was discon- tinued. Athens, Gia., June,25, 1862. McK.

VOL. XX. J. J. BRUNER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, From the Richmond Examiner July 4. The Recent Attack ou MeClellan’s Fleet and Encampment. At one o'clock on Friday morning tast many persons in this city and in the coun- try tor miles above heard a territic cannon. ading in the direction of Drewry’s Bluff. lhe firing continued without lull or cessa- tion for an hour and half, and was as ra- pd and distinctly audible as at any time during the recent battles. Every flash of the guus was visible from our bills, illum- imating the Southern horizon like summer lightning. After daylight ou Friday morning, and <luring the forenoon, the cannovading was the tceme of every conversation on the street corners, and conflicting were the ru- mours of its eause and result. Since Mon- Jay last it had been surmised by the know- ing ones that an attempt was about to be mide to intercept McCleflan’s communica- tion on James river. And the most ofour itizens incliued to the belief that the firing heard was the result of the attempted exe- cution of this design. Many, however, be- heved that an attack had been made on Drewry’s Bluff by the Yankee gunboats. About noon speculations on the subject were put at rest by a telegraphic dispatch irom Petersburg aupouncing that an at— tack had been made on the Yankee fleet wud encampment at Berkeley by a large number of our artillerists, whose cannon had been planted during Thursday at Cog- ains Point and other places lower down James river. The dispateh further stated that the gunboats replied to our artillery Without effeet; that, though the damage sustained by the fleet was unknown, a ‘other batteries still further down the banks. | By a preconcerted plan, the tiring of Long _Tom by the Hanover battery was to be the _signal for the other batteries to open fire. ‘Tt was a calm, starlightnigbt ; not asound broke upon the ear. The river, unruffled by a breath of air, flowed silently by, while on its tranquil bosom floated in fancied security the navy of the Union, the lights from the rigging and cabins alone indica- ting where the vessels lay. The large steamer, supposed to be officers’ quarters, was seen at that late hour brilliantly illa- minated by lights which twinkled through every window. The witching hour of night drew on apace as our men ‘anxiously awaited the signal for opening fire. “Eight bells” was struck by the guoboats in the river ; the sentries cried “ twelve o’clock— all’s well!” As the last word died upon the ear a sheet of flame darting out from Coggin’s Point, followed by a deafening report, told that Long Tom had spoken, and the fight was begun, Simultaneously blaze followed blaze from point to point miles down the river. The Reet was In an instant thrown into commotion. Yells, and oaths, and shricks, mingled with the previously trailed into range, this was a matter of small consequence. For three quarters of an hour our fire was poured forth unincerruptedly. The crashing of our | shot through the ships timbers could be | heard at every discharge, and hundreds of the shells were seen to explode on board | the vessels. The order from General Pen- | dleton was to fire thirty rounds to each gun and withdraw. | this complement before the gunboats had ' steamed up and cleared for action. When SALISBU Se We had nearly fired | “ yreat crashing” bad been heard in the/ they did open with their broadsides it was | river during the caononade; and that when friday morning dawned not a vessel ot the fleet was visible—all, it was sUppos- ed, having dropped downed the river. Friday uight several members of the Hanover aruliery arrived here in charge of the body of their comrade, Wm. T. Dal- ton, who had been killed during the at- tack, They could give no clear account of the engagement. All day Saturday the mind of the community was exercised on the subject of the result of the attack, but u0 satisfactory information could be ob tained from any quarter. It was thought that a reuewal ot the attack at a point lower down the river was meditated, and that, therefore, any news of the fight of Friday was kept from the public for fear lest the enemy should be put on his guard. As, however, there appears now no reason tor withholding them, we shall lay before vur readers such particulars of the engage- ment as have come to our krowledge. Captain Miles C. Macon, of the Fayette Artillery, returned to this eity Saturday evening, and from him we have obtain-— el some interesting facts connected with the expedition. General Pendleton, with many power- ful batteries, left Richmond ‘Tuesday morn- ing and arrived in the neighborhood of City Point on Wednesday. The attack on the enemy’s fleet was to have been made | that night, but owing to a misunderstand. ing of orders the different batteries failed to rendezvous at the appointed place, and it was, of necessity, postponed. On Thursday, Colonel Brown and Cap— tain Macon and Watson, the latter of the Second Iowitzers, made a thorough re- connmissance of the river and the south bank, opposite McClellan’s encampment. At Maycock’s Landing, directly opposite Westover, they tied their horses in the woods and crept close to the river bank, | splendid steamer said to be | occupied as quarters by McClellan’s princi- | pal officers was lying close ashore at the | A large and Westover Landing.

Belie’s Island, in the James river, here- tofore little known aod without any hero- ic interest, is destined to figure hereafter more conspicuously as the depot for the confinement of the several thousand Yao- kee prisoners taken in the late battles be- fore Richmond, and confined for sometime afterwards in the Libby and other prisons of the city, but within the last four weeks removed to the islaad. The island is about one mile in length and a quarter of a mile in breadth, with two branches of the river that forms, clasping the shores on either side. On a level portion near the landing is located the camp of the prisoners, contain ing between 400 and 500 tents, closely huddled together, witha broad avenue running through the centre, which has been named Broadway, after the famous New York thoroughfare. This Yankee repeated cry of “ put out that light,” were | Settlement now numbers upwards of 4,500 heard from every steamer and schooner at | inbabitants, and in the evening, once.

The encampment of the guard is loca- ted ona hill overlooking the Yankee en- campment. The guard numbers about three hundred mea, including Day’s light artillery battery, Captain Norrie Montgom- ery, who superintendents the whole police arrangement. Captain Montgomery and bis officers have their headquarters in a school house in the hollow, near the Yan- | kee settlement. A railing surrounds the camp, and beyond its confines none of the prisoners are allowed to intrude except un- der guard.

By half-past one o’clock the last of our men had retired to a safe distance, shore for hours afterwards. Our loss in this engagement was Wil- ‘liam T. Dalton, killed, and Thomas Far- quhar and Patrick Graham, of the Hano- ver battery, wounded by one of the ene- }my’s shells. Alexander Thacker, of the | Page battery, wounded by the premature | explosion of a gun ; and three men, of the Albemarle battery, seriously wounded by the upsetting of one of our caissons during our retreat. Of the damage done the enemy we are | yet without the means of making an esti- mate. His loss of hfe and property must, however, have been terribly large. Our | guns threw at least between twelve and | fifteen haadred shot and shell, and the re- | motest object at which we fired was with- /in point-blank range of our smallest guns. | The most of the vessels were but from five ‘hundred yards to a half miledistant. Du- | ting the engagement the crash of our shot | through the wooden sides of the vessels and steamers could be distinguisned above ‘the roar of the guns, and our shells were ‘seen to explode over and within the ves- sels, and a number of them within Me- ,Clellan’s encampment, on the opposite | shore, | On Saturday morning Captain Macon ‘rode from Petersburg in the direction of the scene of the previous day’s engagement.

But while this people exercise their in— genuity and skill, we are sorry to state , that they are practising among themselves the vices which distinguished them while enjoying the opportunities at large in Vir— ginia. They are the most inveterate thieves and on every opportunity depredate upon one another. For one to take off his shoes, or a piece of his garment, and fall to sleep, is to invite a theft from his comrade, and every day complaints are made to the commanding officer of the guard of such depredators. Numbers hawe lost their shoes and pieces of their élothing, and go about bare— footed, or in their stocking feet, and half naked, One of their own sutlers, captured with the prisoners, has established a sutlership, and the prisoners make purchases from him of such articles as are not furnished in the daily rations, They loudly com- plain of his extortion, however, and threat- en to have him sent to the Rip Raps when they get back. Their funds are 1unning short, too, and many are compelled to part with whatever they have saleable about them. They are all looking hopefully forward to an exchange, and are very persistent in their enquiries concerning the prospect. A few nights since five of the prisoners at— tempted to escape by swimming the river. One of them succeeded in getting nearly across, but all were captured and are now kept under guard. Everything about the island suggests cleanliness, comfort, and strict. discipline. The island is accessible by boat from the landing below the Tredegar [ron Works. We learn that a communication from our government, enquiring whether But— ler’s course in New Orleans was counten- anced by his government, not having been responded to, another communication has been dispatched, with the accompanying notice that an explicit answer will be ex- pected in a given time, and, that in the absence of such, the silence of the Lincoln Government will be construed as an affir- mative reply.— Lzaminer. UGUST 11, 18 THE BRUTALITIES OF THE ENEMY. Retaliatery Measures of the Confederate Gov- eroment. Ricumonp, August 2.—An important “General Order” (No. 45) from the Ad- | jutant and Inspector General’s Office has | been published, the substance of which ie as follows : Article I, states that the following or- ders are published for the infortation and observance of all concerned : [The next five articles are in the form of a preamble. | Article II recites the order issued by the Secretary of War of the United States, di- recting the military commanders of that government to seize and use the property, real and personal, belonging to the irhabi- tants of this Confederacy, and states that no provision is made for any compensation to the owners of private property thus seiz- ed. Article IIE quotes Gen. Pope’s recent or- der for the arrest of “all disloyal male cit- izens,” who are to be “conducted beyond | the lines of the United States Army, ete. | _ Article IV recites the order of Brigadier | General Steinwher, U.S. A., for the arrest | of the “most prominent citizens of Page | county, Va.,” to be held as hostages, and | to suffer death in the event of any of the | soldiers of the said Steiawher beiug shot i by “ bushwhackers””—by which term are | meant citizens of this Confederacy who | have taken arms to defend their homes. Article V. And whereas it results from the above orders that some of the military | authorities of the United States, not con- ‘tent with the unjust and aggressive warfare | waged with savage cruelty against an un- | offending people, and exasperated by. the ' failure of their effort to subjugate them, | have now determined to violate all rules | and usages of war, and to convert the hos- | tilities hitherto waged against armed forces | into a campaign of robbery against unarm- , ed citizens and peaceful tillers of the soil. | Article VI. And, whereas the govern- | ment, bound by the highest obligations of | duty to its citizens, is thus driven to the i necessity of adopting such just measures of | retribution and retaliation as may seem | adequate to repress and punish these bar- barities; and whereas the orders above re- | cited have been only published and made | known to the government since thesignature of the cartel for the exchange of prisoners of war, which cartel, in so far as it provides for an exchange of those hereafter captur- ed, would never have been signed or agreed to by this government, if the intention to change the war inlo a system of indiscrim- inate robbery had beep made known to it; and whereas a just regard to humanity for- bids that the repression of crime, which this government is thus compelled to en- force, should be unnecessarily extended on the evlisted men in the army of the United States, who may be the unwilliog instru- ments of the savage cruelty of their com- manders, so long as there is a hope that the excesses of the enemy may be checked or prevented by retribution on commission- ed officers, who have the power to avoid the guilty action, by refusing service under a government which seeks their aid in the perpetration of such infamous barbarities— VII.

ATROCIOUS PERSONAL AT. TACK ON COL. VANCE. We make the following extract from the State Journal, one of the special organs of Gov. Clarke: “Tt might be too invidious to ran the contrast, for comparison is out of the question, between Colonel Vance and Col. Johnston, into per- sonal appearances, and we will touclr these only slightly and with due re- gard to Col. V’s opinion of himself. Asthey are both married men it cannot effect either very seriously with our female patriots. Col. Vance is decidedly ugly. Col. Johnston, if not handsome, is quite comely,— Col. Vance’s eyes are somewhat the appearance of two twenty-penny nails driven into the centre of a three pound turnip which has been cover- ed with a wig, in coguparison with whose dull, somnolent expression, Col. Johnston’s are as two sparkling diamonds inserted in a globe of pure gold and adorning a countenance ra- diant with smiles. Col. Vance’s gait is that of a superannated ani- mal of the bovine species, lazily am- bling to the pasture ; Col. Johnston’s that of an Arabian charger saddled for the chase, when he hears the horn of the huntsman. Col. Vance buys fine clothes, made up by the most fasionabie tailors, but owin to the rotundity of his person, peal the irregularity of its surface, they never “‘fit.” Hence he is always at war with himeelf or with his tailor, and even in his finest holidays, his external appearance is that of a Dutch farmer. Col. Johnston bays good substantial clothes, knows how to preserve and how to put them on, has always “a good fit,” and his whole oppearance fs that of a neat, tidy, methodical American gentle- man and man of business. Col. Vance’s toot—and what a foot! is like his head, out of all shape, and of prodigious dimensions, between no part of which and the ground, a bug could find shelter from a storm or refuge from an enemy, and is in times like these, hard to protect trom stamps in summer and frosts in win, ter. Col. Johnston has quite a res- pectable foot, but it is that of a fai- ry’s in size and symmetry compar- ed with Col. Vance’s. Personally, nature never intended Col. Vance for a Governor; and the people will not violate the lawsof nature by ma- king him one.” There's many a slip *twixt the cup and the lip.—Among the prisoners taken at Murfreesboro’ is one Capt. O. C. Rounds, of the ninth Michigan regiment, who was; captured by Lieut, Graham, of Lawton cav- alry, under peculiar cirenmstances. Roards was provost marshal of Murfreesboro,’ and got into favor with a Union family at ‘that place, and was to be married to a daugh- ter of that family on Sunday night, the 18th ult, but Lieutenant Graham, the heartless man, took him prisoner early that morning. Instead of enjoying the delights of early wedlock, he is now in prison at Madison, Ga., and his inamorata is discon- solate. She should immediately start. for Michigan, where she can meet her “ Joy- yier” (wheu he is exchanged,) and have tbe knot tied. Lieut. Graham, it seems, found ont where the captain was stopping—at the house of his “new love ”—so enamored of her charms that he was not on the look- out for rebels, and was caught napping.— He went to the house and was met by the captain’s intended wife, who, in answer to his inquiries, assured him that‘Capt. Rounds was not in the house. Some patriotic Southern ladies who bad at first. informed him ot the captain's whereabouts, and were near by looking on, assured him that the captain was in the house, upon which Lt. Graham walked in and commenced a search. He soon discovered him under the bed ; and seizing bim by the foot, dragged him out and received from him his sword The subjects of the royal Abe, who were buying cotton in the vicinity of Huntsville, were arrested by a party of Alabama Ran gers. They, in company with a Fedoral di serter, passed through here yesterday morn- ing, on their way to Montgemery. It is said —_ $7,500 in gokl in their possession — Courier . se e s — er The Democracy of Indiana —Miheg Riga re : at Indianapolis—The Lincotge Agua’ tr tien Denouneed. ate ‘fhe Cincinnati papers of Thursday last contain reports of the proceedings of the udiana Demoeratic Convention at Indi- anapolis oa Wednesday, duly 30, from which we compile the foilowinz resolu tons : That we protest, m the name of our- selves and of our children, aad in the name of all that we hold dear iu the future of our beloved counties, against the mischiev- ous measure of negro emancipation in the District of Columbia, and the payment for such. negroes out of the vational treasury ; and we further protest against the resolu- tion of Congress pledging the nation to pay for all negroes which may be emanci- pated by the authority of aay of the South: ern States ; that we regard such measures, involving as they do an expenditure of two thousand five hundred millions of dollars, as measures of transcendent enormity, and fruitful only of national beggary to tbe land we love; that we are unalterably and} unconditionally opposed to all schemes having for their object immediate on re- mote, the taxation of the white mau for the purchase of negroes anywhere ; that we deny the constitutional right of the President or Congress to adopt a policy which taxes white labor to. pay for negroes, or which would make the government or people slave dealers, a policy which, if not arrested by the votes of the people wilf'en- tail upon unborn generations of oor kin- kred:a debt more overwhelming: and’ apal ling than-ever cursed any nation of ancient or modern times. That in opposition to. measures of this kind we desiie to entenpose the peaceful and powerful agent the badlot of a free peo- ple, and say, in the language of another,. “We will neither surrender our rights. nor forsake them. We will maintain our con- stitutional liberty at all hazzards; and as a necessary step toward that end, we will maintain the Union in like manner. We are for the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was.” That in the language of the resolution of the conservative members of Congress, the doctrines of the Secessionits and of the Abolitionists ,as the latter ara now repre- sented'in Congress, are alike imconsis.ent with the Constitution and irreconcilabl with the unity and peace of the country ; the first have already involved us in, a civ- i! war, and the others (the A-bolitionists) will leave to the country, but little. hope to the speedy restoration of the Union or peace. That the people of Ind?ana having in- hibited, by the State constitution and law, the entrance of free negroes and mul!attoes into this State, and as the present distur- bances on our border are likely to bring in an influx of that population from neigh- boring States, we respectfuliv ask the pub- lic authorities of: Indiana to. see that the constitution and laws are properly enfore- ed on that subject. When: the people of Indjana adopted'the negro exclusion clause by a majority of ninety-four thousand votes, they meant that the honest. laboring white men should have no competitor ta. the black race—that the soil of: Indiana should belong to the white man, and that he alone was suited to her free. institutions.

The history of mankind pre- sents us with many insane follies of nations; but more equal in insanity to this stupendous folly of Republican America, inthis noon of the nineteenth century. A year and ahalf ago, the American Republic, with the motto * E Pluribus Unum,, flarming-in. ber beak, was de- veloping her resourees of mind and body, with ar external force, and an interna! freedom, that had riever a paraJle! in the world’s history. — ‘SA continent and two oceans.” said the Lon- don Times, ‘‘are in the hands of this people.” With a most heroic past, we had the promise of a most glorious fusure. At peace with all the world, and with ourselves—the terror of } the nations—a career of national prosperity was opening before us unlimited in extent, rv- alling, im happiness the fabled Utepias of the poets. Out of the once unknown wildeonass in fess than three centuries, a mighty empire had arisen. Upomthe scareely rotted roots of the primitive forest proud aities stood teeming with busy life, and growing: like the prairie grassin spring. The boldest and most enthusi- astic speculator could have scarcely ventured to prediet the destiny of thigcountry, if integri- ty had continued to govern her deliberations, and wisdom had prevailed in, her oouncils. Eker worst enemy, ashe looked out upon the vast inheritance. of this people, siretchiag from the Atlantie seaboard to the Pacifie, fom its iv- Jand seas.at the North to. the Flonidian reefs, with all its teeming millions, and all its eviden- ces of prosperity everywhere, must have been compelled to exclaim, with Baal, the son of Peor, as he looked: out upon the tenis of keraal, whitening all the pluins of Mwab, “whe cao count the dust of Jacob, or the number of the fourth part of ksrael. As the vallics are they spread forth, as gardens by the rimer side, as trees of ligualges. which, the Lord hath planted as. cedar tnees beside the waters.” All this presperity ans promise for tae falure was the nutural resujtof the eoustitu tional pol- icy of the Democrasic- party whieh had ruled in the land so loug: The party hald as the pol- icy of its creedia strict aonstnuctivn of the Con- stitution ; eqamland exact justice to all who are entitledte ita privileges : antagonism to ali forms of sectianalism based upon hostility to imstitu- tions whose prisileges were guarantead by the Conatitu#ien. Had such policy beem adhered to, thie nadjon to-day would have remained a united and a happy people. But a.sectioval or- ganization, profesaing for the basis of its reed eternal boatijity to.elavery, revolusionary in ike origin, and destructive in its policy, proposed to govern this counury by usurpation ; tooverthrow and set. af naught every guarantee of the Con- stitution in. reference to fifteen States of the Union,; to. shut them out of the magaifieent territories acquired by the common blood and treasure of the Union; to.maintain this Union just as the. Union between England and Ire- land 36 maintained ; just as Great Britain at- tempted to.muaintain the Union between the mother country andthe American colonies. — When the-dangenof a disrupted Union was upon us, and all the honrors of ciwil war, meu- aced, they persistently refused all attempts at conciliation and compromise, and preferred the mind; Whether. ewer that these Repu cans Now ‘Slamor for, faets one yearr, sev years, or thirty years, the result must be the sume—a cessation of hostilities When the par- ties become exhausted, and a treaty of peace recognizing €® separate independghce of each section. termination, subjugation, on sepa- ration, one of the three must be the result of the war betweem the Northern and Southern States.” Now the question,is, will you wait until war of years bas prostrated every interest, cestroy- ed a siah part of your population, and made a waste and desolation of the North, or will you demand peace now?

The State Election on Thursday last was, in its result, a very extraordimary one. It swept the political earth like a hurricane, tearing into fragments the bands of party.— The wreck is visiblé in all directions. The strongest party bulwarks were crushed be- neath its violence. God be praised, it was a lloodless achievement in itself, and we- sin- cerely hope will prove-a great blessing. The election passed off here with litde or no, undue exciternent. Severakpersons, with strong personal feelings of opposition to Mr. b. A. Davis, exerted themselves against him, and probably did something considerable to- wards accomplishing his defeat. A few of the friends of N. N. Fleming, Esq., put his name on. a ticket with tlis. gen- tleman, and proclaimed it a ‘compromise ticket.” It was not, however, generally ac- cepted, and is believed to have received a very naoderate support from. those who sup- At all events, Mr. Da- vis was badly defeated, much tothe regret of ported Mr. Fleming. his persoaal friends, who really know him to | be aduairably well qualified in all respects to take a yaost useful member in a legislaave body. —-- ewe The Ciartotte Democrat isin distress because of the partisan character of the late canvass, | and intimates its concern that the course of the arbitrament of war to that of peace and concil- iation. ‘hey refased: conciliation and compro- mise, aad when they did so they knew that war would result from the refusal. The war they invited—nay, longed for—is now upon us, and has brought in its toain all the ruin. that has waited’ upon its blood-stained fuotsteps. Every fundamental principle-of con- stitutiona] liberty has been soattered to the | winds—-enormous expenditures, the result of speculation and fraud, demand oppressive and exorbitant taxes—whole becatombs of victims have been offered: up, and there is hardly a house, as in ancient Egypt, ‘ia which there is not one dead”—~a large portion of the produc- tive industry is being turned from the peaceful pursuits of agriculture to where the reapers de- scend to the harvest of death—everywuere in- dividual'and national bankruptcy are staring us the reckless extravagance which peruade every departinent of the Federal govern- ment; that a retunn to. rigid economy and accountability is indispensable. to arrest the systematic plunder of the publie trea- sury by favored partizans while the recent startling developments. of frauds and’ cor- ruptions at the Federal metropolis, show that an entize change of administration is imperatively demanded. That we approve of and endorse the res- olutions drawn by Hon. John J: Critten- den, and adopted by the conservative mem- bers of Congress on the 22d day of Janu- ary, 1861, as aclear and just declaration of the objects which ought to be had in view by the American peonle in the pre- sent. fearful emengency of their national affairs. Vegetables for our soldgers.—Green corn can, be put upin the following manner and is excel- lent in soup: Have ready a pot of boiling water, and drop your corn in on the. ear, suffering it to, remain abput fifteen or twenty minutes, then take it out, and when cool, cut it from the cob and spread it an dishes ex clean beards, and put ic in the sun ta dry ; when perfectly dry, put it in small bags, and it wilt be ready to. send off to our soldiers, who suffer so much from the want of vegetables. : Okra can be dried bd cutting it in thin slices and stringing it on a thread, and then hanging (t up in the sun. Cucumbers can be made into catsup, in the. folowing manner, viz: Take full grown cucum- bers, peel and grate them, then dip out the juice from them, and season the pulp with vin- egar, salt and pepper, bottle it and seal the bot. tles carefully. Tomatos, too, can be made into catsup, or can be dropped into jars with their skins on, and then the jars filJed up with cold vinegar and closely stopped. They keep very wellthis way and taste ueariy fresh, If each lady will furnish a few things, anum- ber of large boxee will soon be packed!

Nine-tenths of the legialation of Congress has been this season directed! towards the. condition of tha slave, and how to alleviate that condition, while the awful situation of this Government, intended for white men, is entirely lost sight of. Inthe meantime the nation ‘reels and staggers to and fro like a drunken man.” Democrats of New Jersey! the hour when. you. are to meet in council is not far distant.— Upon you, together with your confreres in other States, rest the hope of the country. With a bold; vigorous and. determined effort you can help to. save it,; but it will not be by half-way temporiaing measures. You cannot save it by endorsing and approving the acts of the present Administration; by endorsing attacks upon the eonstitutional liberty of the subject ; by approv- ing of a war of subjugation and extermination. Tha.cupning, unprincipled promoters of: this war, whe are speculating upon, the blood and treasure of this nation, have no, desire that it shall cease. Under the specious and delusive ery that Government isin danger, and the Con- stitution must be upheld, they are uprooting the foundations of the one and rendering nuga- iory every provision of, the other. Read the history of the past year, read the daily legis- lation of the men in Congress who are hound- ing in this strife, and then tell us honestly —do you believe this to bea war for the Union or the preservation of the Gonstitution’ If you do not, it is high tirne you showd cry aloud and spare not It is time that you should arouse from the lethargy that enervates, and the false security that deludes you. If you believe that the fur- ther continuance of this war will only entail un- told miseries upon yourselves and your posteri- ty, you, have a right to demand that it shall ceage. You have the right by all constitution- al means within your power to endeavor to make it a finality. If not, you acknowladge a right and a power, in this Administration which only belongs to despotic gavernments, that are foun- ded in force, and not,in the consent of the gov- erned.

We gave our reasons for supporting Geb Wance very plainly, though in avery kind manner. They may be briefly summed up thes: we thought Col. Wance the best roan for the place. We have a right so to think without any impeachmentof our motives, and we think that only a bitter partisan would impeach them. As we have had occasion once before to re- mark, there has been but one paper among those supporting Col.

I{ we did not know the editor of the Western Demosvat, we would not venture te print these words; but knowing him to be a. clear-head- ed, cautious and conscientious maa, his course in the late canvass has excited gur surprise ouly so far as it has afforded a striking illus- tration of the blinding and hardening effect of party spirit ona good man. he Obserner has told the truth on our neighbor, as also in relation to those presses in the State which have supported Col. Vance; and we hope, now that the election is over, he may be ena- bled to diseover it. Up to this time, howev- er, the editor of the Democrat doubdess thinks the Observer, Recorder, Putriot, Press, Ar- qus and Watchman were very bitter sheets aganst Mr. Johnston, notwithstanding it would be hard for him to find in any of them a disrespectful or unkind word against him. Some of them may have published a para- graph from the Standard in regard to lis suc- cess at the bar, and the Greensbora Patriot may have hit back pretty hard once or twice at those who were assailing Col. Vance. But with very slight exeeptions, these journals pernmaitted things to take their course without an effort to control them.

The Savanoah Hepublican , has the fol; jowing comments on Morgan’s fate raid’: ” All are agreed upon the brillianey and daring of Morgas's recent expedition into Kentucky. With a thousand men he pen- etrated two hundred and 6fty miles into the enemy’s country, seized a dozen towns and citics, destroyed several millions of government stores, captured a thousand prisoners, and broke up the epemy’s com munication with the South, and then re- turned to head quarters with a boss of some twenty killed and double that number wounded. It was a wonderful achieve— ment, and will be so recorded in history. Many suppose that one burtful result will come of this expedition, via: that the evemy, with such notice of our ability to attack them, will arouse from their fancied security and strain every nerve to be ready jor us in the future. It is suggested, that as Morgan could earry a thousand men through the centre of Kentucky and to. the very banks of the Ohio, why did he not take ten thousand, aud instead of a mere raid redeem the State from Abolition do- minion? There may be several answers to this question, the’ most satisfactory of which is that we bad not the men to spare, without leaving East ‘Tennessee entirely open to Buell, and his road to Richmond elear. The leading object of the raid we take to be this: Luell is entering Tennessee with a large force, aud it was important that all possibility of bis retreat through Kentucky should be cut off This Morgan has effectually done, for the navigation bas ceased for the season on the Tennessee and: Cumberland. Shoukl we attack and whip Luell where he is, under existing cirewm- stances, there will be no alternative left him but to surrender bis entire force or have them eut to picees. Viewed in this hybt, Morgan’s tate ex- pedition may be regarded as a most valua- ble one to our cause, and we shall expect , to hear soon that Kirby Smith and the leader of our detachment from Tupelo, whoever he is, have taken advantaye of the present pesture of affairs. | | aa 2# A correspondent ip the army writes | as follows: | “Tt is a matter of interest to some few | without nope. | Atthe residence of M.

Paul was actively engazed with the enemy in the battle of Seven Pines, came out unhurt, though a number of shellsdropped within a few feet of him, one passing over his saddle just as he dis- mounted. At the early dawn, on the morning of the Q7th of June, the din of war was again heard, and he marched forth into the field. Having pursued the enemy till about one o'clock, P.

My Youne Frrenps :—A year has al- most passed by since I had the pleasure of seeing you, or, with one exception of hear- ing from you. Yet, though absent, do not allow yourselves to think I have forgotten the little friends I had the pleasure of meet- ing Sabbath after Sabbath. Though per- haps you have ceased to think of me, I continue to hope that you study as you formerly did. You may think the lessons sometimes very hard, but go to them de- termined to learn and know them, and you can accomplish the work and have the pleasure on the following Sabbath of go- ing to ne at teacher with a light heart and face radiant with smiles and a plea- sant joy that you done your duty. I will tell you part of the history of two little girls whose names were Maggie and Bettie. Bettie was a good little girl and took great pleasure io doing everything she was able to that she thought was right, and if she had any fear she was not right in any thing she would go strait to her mo- ther and tell her all her troubles and ask what was to be done. Her mother would take the greatest pleasure in the world in instracting her little girl in any little matter that she might enquire after, and Bettie continued growing in knowl- edge and in loving to do what was right. She uever recited bad lessons and was ne- ver late at school, she came at the right hour with a light heart, not fearing a frown on her teacher’s face, for she knew her les- sons well. But ere she had seen her twelfth sum- mer, Bettie met with asad bereavement. That mother who bad decided so many little causes was taken away by death. At first she sunk under her affliction, but her mother had often taught her to look to Christ for strength in time of trou- ble, and in prayer she earnestly besought the throne of grace for assistance, remem- bering the words of the Saviour, “ Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Thus Bettie grew up and entered on the difficult duties of life, beloved by all, and an ornament to the community in which she lived. Not so with Maggie. She was one of those peevish, fretting, croes-grained creatures, who never said a piorset thing without she was pleading something, and if her mother refused her any thing she wanted, she would go off crying,.9r, if the did not cry, she would look s6-sullen awd disagreéable that no one would feel pleasant with such a discontent- ed being in view. She never studied her lessons aud. was always late at school, and on the Sabbath, when her mother would send her to school, sometimes she would go, at other times she would play truant and'go aud spend the time playing with cen little girl as bad ce hanae wt when her teacher would enquire the cause of her absence, she. would tell a falsehood and say she was sick. My pen grows wearied with her history, and I will not write more of it than that she grew up to be an ignorant young wo- man, always scolding at her mother when- ever she denied her any thing she wanted. With few friends she lived, as she grew up detertnined to have her own way in everything or not do anytbing. Now, my little friends, which do you prefer to follow. I hope each of you will follow Bettie’s example and grow up hon- ored and respected, with minds stored with knowledge and the rich promises of the Bible. Time has continued to roll on in his chariot, cutting off day after day, week af- ter week and month after month, until Ju- ly bas again made ite appearances, and who of my little friends bas this time won the prize. You must get your teacher to select it for you, and with my best wishes for your prosperity, [ am your friend. . ’ MREN. :’ pu ¥ Dear Ohildren »—F or your enconr- ment in Sabbath School, I will tell you something about our school in Hillsboro. ig echoo! is not only large and. well attend but the clans are a ees in sing- iugy reading, and Bible knowledge. They ire being prepared for useful living and happy dying. Not long since, we had a cheerful illustration of the latter, in the death of Henry Butler Phillips. Henry was the Youngest son of kind and pious parents. . Heattended Sabbath School at an early age, was an ‘atten- tive and beloved scholar, succeeded well in all his exercises, and bid fair to be msoat. useful in the school, in the church and in the world. But the good Lord saw fit to take him from our midet in bis boyhood. Our dear Henry was sick about three weeks. During much of that time, he suffered greatly : all this le endpred without complaint, and al- most without a groan. Soon after his attack, he seemed sensible he should not get well. He looked to his final end, and for this he wished to be ready. One evening as his mother watched over him, just as a mother only can watch, for a while he was quiet, and seemed asleep, then opening his eyes wishfully, said, “Mother, I am not satisfied.” She inquired, “Why, my son?” He said, “I have not said my prayers since I have been sick.” She replied “Yes, you have, I heard you.” He said, “I know I have prayed, but I have not got down on my knees as I used to do.” He insisted on get- ting up and praying on his knees. — His mother told him he was too sick to get ap, and that the Lord would hear him on his bed, as he was so sick. He then covered his face and | for a while prayed devoutly; then | said, ‘Now I am satisfied, for now | | koow the Lord hears me.” At one time, as be spoke to his fa- | ther about dying, his father said to , him, “My son do you now find any comfort in anything you learned in Sabbath School!” He answered ‘Yes, in one song particularly.’ [His father asked, ‘What song is that!’ he replied, it is this; “T want to be an angel, And with the angels stand.” The last moments of Heury were eace. Just before he breathed his ast, his father said to him, ‘My son, are you afraid to die?” He answer- ed, ‘No, for God is with me and he will take me to Heaven.’ Thus a Sabbath School scholar | lived and died, passed away froin | time to eternity, from earth to Heav- | en During Henry’s sickness many | Sabbath school teachers and scholars, , with many other friends visited him. | At his burial, the school accompa- nied the corpse in regular process: | ion. At his funeral service, was the | largest congregation ever assembled | in the new Methodist church in this | place ; and the silent tears of nearly all in that large congregation, told how dearly they cherished the mem ory of Henry Phillips, anipow deep ly they sympathized with his bereav- ed parente and friends. Yesterday, as a tribute of respect to the departed, the following pre- amble and -resolutions were passed by our school. Whereas it has pleased our Heav- ly Father to take unto himself Hen- ry Batler Phillips, a beloved child | of this Sabbath echool. Resolved, that we cherish his mem- ory, and, as he was the first offering | chosen from this school for our Lord’s glory ; we will strive by grace | divine, to meet him in Heaven ; and so give proof, that we too, were nur- | ~ tured in the Sabbath school, and by | pions parents. Now, dear children, I have tried. to encourage you, by telling you | how a Sabbath school scholar lived | and died: how he was loved and | honored of God and man. Let this encourage you, a8 the happy lot of Henry may be your lot. Yes, it | will be yours, if you are faithful to your sekiesk and to your God. Ev-— ery body loves good Sabbath school | childreri, and the Lord loves them, | and will take eare of, and bless them. | May the Lord so keep us all in his fearand in re service, that when we passaway from earth, we ma meet little Henry in Heaven. | “And thete with the angels stand.” R*reer 8.D.PRELER. | poet an iee ma n operation ip | don, which effects eS xk ly and qnickly,.by, gn. ingeniug pro- cess. a@ water, a8 most rea ers know, does not freeze at-thie tem per- ature of 32 degrees, a8 fresh water does. Advantage, ie taken of the fact in the.following way: A num- ber of flat, square metal boxes, filled with fresh water, are placed within an air-tight chamber, around which a constant circulation of sea water goes on, which, by the evaporation of ether, has been redaced in temper- ature below the freezing Point. This circulation chills all the boxes, and freezes the fresh water into hard solid squares, fit for any use to which ice is commonly applied. A emall steam engine eonnected with the ap- paratas maintains a vacum in the chamber, and condenses the ether, which is thus made to do its work of refrigeration over and over again with but little loss; not more than about eight pénce a day. A Romantic Incident of the War—A Female Recruit inthe Ranks.— About the opening of May, among the passengers in the stage from Madison Court House to Gordonsvitte—one of whom subsequently recognized bere, in Richmond—was a young and petette looking female, who tra- velled under the name of Elizabeth Un- derwood. She confessed having run the “ blockade” from Washiugton, D. C., and desired to reach a relative in the Confed- erate army, then on the Peninsula near Yorktown. Major Boyle, the provost at Gordonsville, subjected her to a very strict examination, and, vot satisfied with ber loyalty or intentions, sent her, under guard, to the care of Captain Alexander, Castle Godwin, Richmond, as a spy, from whence she was bailed out some weeks since by a reputed brother. From that time she dis- appeared from sight until Saturday, when she turned up in company E, Col. Jenks, Palmetto Sharpshooters, General Ander- son’s (late Huger’s) division, where she had been serving two weeks as a private, equipped in the regimentals of that corps. Not one of the regimment bad the least cause to suspect the sex of their youthful recruit until she offered herself as a substi- _tute for one of the members, when a med- ical examination became necessary. Oue of the young surgeons passed the candi- date, but the second one, more old and ex- perienced, thought he discovered some thing in the rotundity of the breast that more properly belonged to the sex oppo- site that personated by the candidate, and so the denouement came. The abashed recruit then made aclean breast of it— ' stated that she was the daughter of a well known speculator named John Bell, that ber own name was Josephine Bell, and that her connections were quite respecta- ble. A man named Jordan, it is said, intro- duced her to the camp. She was brought up yesterday morning before Assistant Provost Alexander, dressed in ber very | becoming soldier toggery, and was sent to Castle Godwin.—Rich. Examiner. D. L.

Morgan, in his late toar through Keotucky, was aecompanied by a telegraph operator named G, A. Ellsworth, whose feats in intercepting lederal messages seem to be more brilliant than any yet recorded They show that, with a bold, active fue, the telegraph cin be made injurious rather than beneficial to those who enjoy it. The Louisville and Nashville line was first tap- ped by the operator near Bowling Green, thus: I took down the telegraph wire and connected my pocket instruments, for the purpose of taking off all dispatches as they passed through. Owing to a heavy storm prevailing Soath, the atmospheric electm- city prevented me from communicating with Bowling Green or Nashville. The tirst I beard was Louisville calling Bow- ling Green, T immediately put on my eround wire southward, noticing particu- larly at the same time what change it would wake in the circuit. It dtd make it strouger; but the storm mentioned aff-et- ing telegraphs more or less, Louisville did not suspicion anything wrong, and 7d ans wered for Bowling Green, when I received the following message : “Lovisvitie, duly 10. “T) S. D. Brown, dowling Green : * You and Col. Houghton move togeth- er. I fear the foree of Col, H. is too small to venture to Glasgow. The whole force should move together, as the enemy are mounted. We cannot venture to leave the road tvo far, as they MAY pass round and ruin it. J.T. Boyrr, “Brigader-Gen. Comd'y.” T returned the usual signal, ‘O. KX. after receiving the message. Louisville inmediately call-d Nashville; and I answered tor Nashville, receiving by- This business was twostly of a private nature, aud [took no copies. It could be plainly perceived from the tenor of the messages that Morgan was iu the country, and all orders to send money and valuables by railroad, were counterinanded—as they supposed, Little did the operator at Louisville think all his work would have to be repeated the next day. Louisville also sent the news of the day, and thus we were farnished with N, York and Washington dates of that day. Daring the whole of this time it was rains lng beavily, and my situation was anything but aa agreeable one—sitting in the mud with my feet in the water up to my knees. At I] o'clock, P. M., the General being satistied that we bad drained Louisville of uews, concluded to close for the night, and gave me the following message to send, da- ting and signing as below : “NASHVILLE, duly 10. To Henry Dent, Provost Marshal, Louis- ville: Gen. Forrest, commanding a brigade, attacked Murfreesboro’, routed our forces, and is vow moving on Naehville. is reported to be between Scottsville and Gallatin, and will act in concert with For- rest, it is believed. Inform the General commanding. Srantey Marvitews, Prov. Mar.” T am not aware that Gen, Morgan claims siness for two hours. to be a prophet, or the son of a prophet, | but Forrest did attack Murfreesboro’, and rout the enemy.™, | On arriving at Lebanon, July 12th, I) accompanied the advance guard into town and took possession of the telegraph office immediately. This, as you know, was 3.30 A.M. I adjusted the instrument, and ex- amined the cireuit. No other operator on the live appeared to be on hand this early. I then examined all the despatches of the day previous. Among them I found the following : “Lepanon, July 11. Gen. J. T. Boyle, Louisville, Ky. : I have positive information that there are 400 marauders in 20 miles of this place | on the old Lexington road, approaching | Lebanon. Send reinforeements immedi A. Y. Jounxson, Lieut-Col. Commanding.” At 7.80 an operator, signing “7,” com- ately. menced calling “B,” which I had ascertain-! ed by the books in the office, was the sift nal for the Lebanon office, I answered the call, when the following conversation be- tween “Z" and myself ensued : “To Lebanon: What news; any more skirmishing after your last mes- sage} a “To Z: No. We drove what little cav- alry there was away. B.” “Tho taking of Murfreesboro’ by Forrest, was three days afterwarde—on the 18th.—En. Conrrp. } Morgan , “To B: Has the train arrivediyet ? 2.” “To Z: No. About how imaty troops on the train?

The next dav the party moved on to Midway, on the Louis- ville and Lexington ruad. Says: ts Moore’s The vperatoe At this place T surprised the operator, who was quietly sitting on the platform of the depot, enjoying himself bugely. Little did he suspicion that the much dreaded Morgan was in his vicinity. [T demanded of lim to call Lexington and inquire the time of day, which he did. This U did for the purpose of getting his style of band- ling the “key” in writing dispatches. My first impressions of bis style, from noticing the paper in the instrutment, were coufirm- ed. He was, tu use a telegrapbic terin, a “plug” operator. 1 adopted his style of writing, aud commenced operations. In this office T found a signal book, whieh proved to be very useful. It contained the calls for all the offices. Dispatch after dis- patch was going to and from Lexington, Georgetown, Paris, and Frankfort, all con- taining something iu reference to Morgan. On commencing operations at this place, I discovered that there were two wires on the liu@along this railroad. One was what we term a “through wire” running direct from Lexinyton to Frankfort, and pot en- tering any of the way offices. I found that all military business was sent over the wire. As it did not enter at Midway of- fice, J ordered it te be cut, thus forcing Lexington, on to the wire that did run through the office. I tested the line and found that, by ap- plying my ground wire, it made no differ- ence with the circuit, and as Lexington was headquarters, I cut Frankfort off. Midway was called. I answered and received the following : “LexineTon, July 15, To J. W, Woolums, Operator Midway : Will there be any danger in coming to Midway? Is everything right? Taytor, Conductor.” I inquired of my prisoner (the eperator) if he knew a man by the vamy of Taylor. | He said Taylor was conductor. [ imime- diately gave Taylor the following reply : “Mipway, July 15. | To Taylor, Lexington ; : All right—come on—no signs of any rebels here, Woottums.” | ‘Lhe operator at Cincinnati then called | Frankfort. I answered and received about a dozen unimportant despatehes. He had | no sooner finished, when Lexington called | Frankfort. Again I answered aud receiv- ed the following message : “Lexrnaron, July 15. | To Gen. Finnell, Frankfort : | [wish vou to move the forces at Frank- fort on the line of the Lexington railroad immediately, and bave the cars follow and take them up as soon as possible, orders will await them at Midway. I will, in three or four hours move forward on the Georgetown Pike ; will have most of my men mounted. Morgan left Versailles this morning at 8 o'clock, with 850 men, on the Midway road moving in the direc tion of Georgetown.

So, in the course of half an bour, I manufactured | \ B.” | message to} Further | WEEKLY. SALISBURY, N. ©., AUGUST 18, 1 a and sent the following dispaich, which was approved by Gen.

The tone of the press of those States, the public meetings, and the | Democratic conventions, all prove this, con. | clusively. This fecting does pot display itself as boldly opposed to the war, per se ; but assumes the forin of opposition to Ab- olitivnism, coercion, and subjuzation. It shat eee ee gee Se tt et NUMBER 3B. 7 T i Tr ovr Drove restoration of peace, The instant we: di- stant we divert it from such etfds, then wo place ourselves side by side with the rebels.” “The poltcy inangarated by them will continue the war forever, aud bring you under a military despotism. “fhe sobjugation ‘or extermination of the South was impossible.

Indiana was more interested than slave owners themselves in perpetuating. slavery in the Suuth. To free four millions blacks will be to’keep up laxatton, increase debt, ruin property, de- grade our children, and make this country a second Mexico.” 7 Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, followed in the same strain, He said; “If the Republican party is rétained in power the Government is gone. forever,.— Only conservative men is there any safety. He denounced the Presideat’s emancipa- twon scheme as caleulated to-érslave the white while freeing the black, and insisting that New Engtaud was making all the money, holding all the contracts, and es- caping with fewer soldiers in the field, and lighter burdens of taxation than the West. * We are made their hewers of wood and drawers of water, while they rua the nig- ger exclusively for money.” Tins is, certainty, very plain talk, and shows clearly that the “great West” is by no means bound to the car of the grasping, cunning East. Her interests, says one of speakers, are with the South: and, we may add, if she would only act upon this idea, she onght by cutting loose from her Eas- tern master, secure het prosperity now and forever. Mr. Vallandigham, in one of bis speeches in Congress, satd: “There is a West !"— The words were, perhaps ominous; and the “beginning of the end,” which so many hearts are anxiously beating to witness, may have commenced in the facts and senti- nents to which we have just alluded. A meeting in Butler county, Ohio, has also declared that “ The Federal Govern- mnent should be taught that the Great West will not permit itself to be ttterly ruined by a partial Congress !” Her obvious policy then is, as we have already intimated, to cut loose from the North and East; and, if she will aot unite would not be sate to exhibit it otherwise ; for, in that event, the individuals giving expression to it would soon find themselves incarcerated within the walls of some Yan- kee bastile, and their opposition thus spee- dily and effectually crushed out. But by professing devotion to the Union, the Con- stitution, and the Administration of Abra- ham Lincoln, they can organize thorough- ly for work, and thus secure a way to ‘tri ; umph in the approaching fall elections. — | Whether, so far as we are concerned, this ; amounts to anything or not, we will not | preteud to say ¢ bat of one thing there can | (be no doubt; there is no longer a united North —but divided counsels prevail, and “Conservalism” now dares to raise its head, where, a few short months ago, its expres- \ sion would have been followed with the | severest punishment, | \ { | | This Conservatism, however, is pretty inuch contined to the great West, where | the light of freedom has not yet entirely | departed, and where men still dare, some: | times, to speak, act, and reason for them: | selves.

Ass general thing, it is safe to put but little reliance on the statements of this clues. Renegades are rarchy men of elevated character, and few vf them, it may be supposed will stick at uny fie which they may eunsider ikely to enhance their importance or render inore favourable thei¢ fect ption by oar authori- ties. Holding them in this estiniution, we have uot hitherto cared to occupy our space with their acgounts. We mention them now ay bearing upon the question of evacuation. There has Seen great Cousistency in the statements of deserters on two pointe—the health of McCiel- lan’s army, and the unwillingness of the men lo prosecute the war From first to last, they nave all agreed in representing the amoant of sickness in the Yankee army on James river a distressing beyoud precedeut. The last dese r- tere state that it has increused rapidly siuee the retreat from the Chickahominy. On Tueeday morning there was brought be- fore General Eee an intelligent Englishman. who had deserted froin MeClellan the day b- fore. His stetement tothe gemeral would be highly interesting, if 1 could be relied upou.— We will give it for what it is worth. A portion of McClellan's urmy, he says, hus beea sent down James river in transperts; of what re- mains, a third are reudered unfit for duty by camp fever and diarrhama ; and the other two thirds are so demoriliged as to be utterly unfit for future setive operations. This story, taken in conjunction with the accounts «of previous deserters and with occasion») obscure bins dropped by the correspondents ef Northern newspapers, may claim to be reeewed with some eredit. We do not doubt thut McClel- jau’s oiek tiet is enormous. and that his troops, after the ordeal of the batiles befure Richmond, would be glad enough to return to their hones, in the land of onions and Yankee notions ; but that he ie at thie present time evacuating his James river base, we would be glad to learn upon somewhat better suthority than we can as yet boast. Rumorshave at times reached us of traneports laden with troops quietly drop- ping down Jumes river at the dead of night, and we have heard shorily after of the debar- cation at Acquia creck of forces supposed to have been WeCtellan’s. ‘There may have heen truth in these reports. but we are absolutely without the means uf tbeir verification. That McClellan bas since the great ba thes diminish- ed his force at Westover und Berkeley by the sending away of one well man to Pope or to Frederick~barg., we can only conclade by infer- ences from his feints on Marvel Hitt and Pe- tereburg, and on the testimony of his deserters. The Petersburg Express of yesterday says: ‘We hear from a source entitled to the high- est credit that McClellan is evacuating his po- sition at Berkeley.” As the Express does not give its authority, thie asseriion is ealculated (o add as little ta our convictions as it does to our stock of information on the subject under consideration. BATTLE OF CEDER CREEK. We stuted yesterduy on the authority of gen- tlemen who had partieipated both iv the battles before Richmond and the battle of Cedar Creek, that the enemy evinced unprecedented obstina- cy on the latter occasion. We have, however, since heard a very different opinion, coming from a high quarter. An officer of high rank nour army, who has just returned to this city from the region about the Rapidan, where he saw and conversed with many of our oflicers just from the last battle field, says that they were unaninous in the opinion thet the enemy fought with mack less thaa his usoal spirit. In the beginning of the fight the Yankees, trust- ng in their superior numbers, for a time press- ed impetuously on our left wing; but meeting with a determined resi-tance, and becoming aware of the appreach of our reinforcements, they gave away at once and finally. Our vic- tory was decisive und it is believed has had a most dispiriting effect on Pope's previously boastful legions. From the same source, we learn that our toss in killed dues not exceed one hundred, while the enemy's is at least five hundred. The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, speaking of this battle, says: We have no au- thentic list of casualties, other than Colonel Lune, 42d Va., killed ; Captain Wilson, Assist- baited} report that Burnside hax a force of twenty-five ant Adjutant General, wounded ; Colonel Price, l4th Georgia, wounded ‘Fhe reported death | of Lieutenant-Colonel Ro H.

He acknowledges his guilt. and says be de- rerves death. The draft recently ordered in the North will largely increase the cost of the war. The war 13 now costing the North nearly $4,000,000 a day.

Thomas, of the Ricthiinond Husears, was captured by the enemy, about two weeks since, while the company was on vidette duty at Shirley. The morning after his capture he was ta- ken before the Colonel of a Yankee regi- ment, who sent him tothe General's head- quarters. Here he was invited in, made to take & seat, and, as he says, “had a so- ciable conversation with the General. Up. on being questioned by the General, he told that official that the woods were full of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, that Beauregard’s and Jackson’s troops reached from there to Richmond, and that, instead of “falling back,” we were bringing more troops down. After giving bim cheese, crackers, coffee, and sugar. he was asked if he wanted to go back, and on replying yes, he was immediately sent to the guard tent. Here they took down a minnte de- scription of hit, name of owner, &c., and the next morning set bom to burning brush. After firing a pile of brush he threw on a lot of straw, which created a dense smoke, and placing this between himself and the guard he put out. He had not gone far, however, until he came upon the encamp- ment of a Pennsylvania regiment, and, meeting with apother negro, Jearned the number of the regiment and the name of its commandant, and thus prepared he ap- proached the pickets, and told them that he was a servant of the Colonel and that he was sent out to pick him some black berries. Te was passed, but enjoined to lurry back. After other adven- tures aud narrow escapes, he succeeded in several reaching our reserves, much to the aston inhment aud gratification of all, who had given tim up for lost.— Arch. Dispatch.

Why did she give it? Perhaps you say, “It was becanse she was a little gir! and did not know much, and that was the easiest answer she conld make.” Could she have mentioned any reason for doing wrong? She might have made a great many eacuses ; but there was a great difference be tween an excuse and areason. An excuse is alinost anything that may be said just for an answer ; and ma- ny children seem to think that it matters little what they do say when Rang the wild cheer of triumph, the cry of despair. Then a long week of glory amd agony came— Of mate supplication and yearning and dread: When day unto day gave the record of fame, And night unto night gave the list of its dead. We bad triumphed—the tue had fled back to his ships— His standards in rags and his legions a wreck But alas! the stark faces and colortess lips Of our loved ones gave triumph’s rejoicings a check Not yet, oh not yet, as a sign of release, Had the Lord set in mercy his bow in the cloud, Not yet had the Comforter whispered of peace To the hearts that around us fay bleeding and bowed.

Dpon thei arrival atthe latter place the roll was called and tlie astonishing fact became apparent that there was abourd one more soldier than the enrolling officer had names apon his list. This of course involved an in- vestigation, when it was discovered that the features of one clalining to be a Conscript were quite, too fair and fine for that of the stermer sex. The soldier was charged with being atemale, when she confessed the: trnth and acknowledged that she had determiaed to accompany her friends in the perils of war, and avenge the death of a brother who fellin the fight near Richmond.— We have heard nothing in any de yree to implicate the good charac ter and standing of this gallant he roine.— Winston Sentinel.

The , grow lo weet any demand likely to be made upon them. forces engaged were a portion, ou our sida, | of Ewell’s division, and on the part of the. enemy three or more brigades, amounting | to between eight and ten thousand men. The slaughter of the Yankees is said to have been frightful—out of all proportion to the number taken prisoners. An entire regiment whilst charging one of our bat- of the Lieutenant Governor of the State,’ teries was ambuscaded and literally anni- | ; by. One of them arose and followed her \ hilated. The prisoners who have already reached Richmond speak freely of the determined ferocity of the combatants. Among the horrors they tell of is a hand to hand en- counter of a Confederate and Yankee reg: iment; the two regiments, they say, met in full career at a charge bayonet, crossed their weapons and fought furiously for ten or fifteen minutes, when the Yankees giv- ing way before the terrible valor of our troops, were slaughtered to a man. We might credit this story but for the source through which it comes, acknowledged that a Yankee cannot tell the truth where a bayonet charge is the subject. We bad expected that before go- ing to press we should have been jn pos- session of the authentic particulars of this battle, and, perhaps, of subsequent impor- tant movements, But at noon yesterday all telegraphic communication between Gordonsviile and this city was cut off by the coincidence of the breakage of the wires along the Central road and between Lynchburg and Richmond, and up to a late hour last night the lines remained closed. In the absence of authentic infor- mation, the city was yesterday a prey to a thousand rumors, all too extravagant or absurd for repetition. Richmond Hraminer. How to Test a Conscience.— Every one claims to havea conscience—and gn hon- vst one at that. But just now one half of everybody, at least, lie when they say they have any conscience at all. The way to test the existen@® of conscience, is to ap- proach one who has an article of necessity to sell. cost originally almost nothing, and now about the only person, for many miles around who has a pin tospare. He charges fifty cents for it, but will knock you down It is universally | ‘the expedient by which he had rescued her. Let us suppose it to be a pio, that | | We trust he has renounced forever the ser- if you say he is a man without a con- , science! or that he is helping Abe Lincoln to starve the South. Take the bacon sel- | ler, whose meat did not cost him ten dol- | lars; a few months ago his “conscience” would have taken fifteen cents for it, but now it must have from forty to sixty — would gladly take sixty now, but if he; hears of a fool paying a dollar a pound, | from that moment, presto change! he can’t “afford” to take less than a dollar! “conscience” won't Jet him! enquire why he could not “afford” to take less, because he is, beyond doubt, assisting Lincoln in starving the South. The meal and flour sellers who can’t “afford” to take fess than S10 for what they were anxious to get six dollars a month ago, also have “con- sciences” that expand and contract like India rubber.

Manufacture of Colts Revolvers.—We were equally surprised and gratified, on Saturday last, at the sight of a Colt’s Repeater, made at the machine shops of the Messrs. Griswold, at Griswoldsville, on the Central Railroad, about twelve miles from Macon. The weapon had just passed the inspection of the Confederate Superin- tendent of Armories at (his place, and a His | We will not | | Navy | occurred at Baltimore on the evening of | contract had been made for as many as the | manufacturers could produce, which they thought would be, for the present about tiveaday. The pistol to our inexperienced eyes, was as well finished as those made bv the patentee himself, and we have no doubt equally as efficient. These weapons are designed for the cavalry service, The specimen before us was the first fruit of ike skill and inventive ingenuity in elaborating machinery and tools for the purpose of men who had never seen a pis- tol shop, or a single tool or piece of ma- chinery for making them. The machines now in use have all been contrived and built since last March, and the force of the establishment diverted from the manufac- ture of cotton gins to the making of Colt’s revolvers, With the well known resources one obliged to have it applies to buy it— | dent of the war. the seller knows it, and is aware that he is | !fty example for Southern women, and the and enterprise of this concern, we need not say the business under their bands will This is a strong illas- tration of the power of the South to sup- plv ber own wants.

Herove Incident in New Orleans.—We ave indebted to bigh authority for the facis of the following occurrence in New Or- Jeans, intelligence of which reached the city yesterday: Mrs, H. M. Hyams, wife passed on the street a number of Yankee ofiicers sitting in a doorway as she went | a few steps, and, arresting her progress by | placing bimself in front of her, told her | that she bad omitted to bow in passing. — She attempted to avoid the ruffian, when he repeated his remark, and asked if she had read Gen. Butler’s “Order No. 28” with reference to the treatment ot Union officers and soldiers with respect. Endea- voring to pass the fellow, he threw his arm round the lady’s waist, and pressd his foul lips upon her face. As the villian released her from his embrace, the Southern lady coolly drew a pistol and shot him through the body, so that he fell dead at her feet in the insolent flush of his cowardly triumph over the insulted virtue of a feeble aud un- protected woman. Another of the officers immediately a- rose, and approaching the noble and cour- age lady took her by thearm and told her, so that the other Federals could hear, that she must accompany him before General Butler. He immediately placed her in a cab and drove away —but not to the beast’s quarters. Ile directed the eab out of the city and through the line of sentries, and further on still, until beyond the reach of the tyrants outospts. The acc of the he- roine had made a hero of the witness. He told her that he considered her act justifia- ble and noble, and that in a moment he had determined that she could not be sac- rificed to Batler’s vengeance, and adopted He continued to eseort her on ber Journey through the country until they arrived in the Southern Lines at Camp Moore, when be delivered himself up to the Confederate authorities to be dealt with as a prisoner or otherwise.

But noth- ing done here will compare with what we Dow witness in the “land of the Sree and the home of the brave,” as the United States was formerly called with some show of reason. We copy trom the Richmond Enquirer an article on the recent despotic orders of the Lincoln Government. The action of the authorities bas been quile in accordance with the spirit of these orders. The entire editorial corps of a carried off to Washington, and the paper consequently suppressed, for the publica- tion of an apparently harmless piece of ridicule of Gen. Lane’s proposal to raise a free negro regiment. But the rarest scene the 8th. The Baltimore News Sheet tells of the arrest of nearly two bundred per- sons who were at the depot about to take the cars for Philadelphia. ‘They protested ibat they were only about to take a pleas- ure trip to the North, but the authorities chose to suspect them of an intention to leave the “land ofthe free” and fly to some of the European despotisms, to avoid the draft and other tender mercies of “the best government on earth.” In some instances men in company with females were arrest- ed. They were all held in custody, till after the train had started, when they were released and allowed to return home, the baggage ofmany of them being taken away in the cars. Thisat 712.M. At 94 P.M. the same scene was enacted again, but only 19 or 15 persons ventured to ap- ply for tickets. At other places five other persons were arrested and confined, Among the outrages of this yankee des- potism, we are glad to see that one has touched the Kentucky Lincolnite, Gen. Leslie Coombs, who deserved better from those who have profited by his treachery | to his native South. He publishes a cor- respondence complaining bitterly that lis widowed daughter, who lives in his house at Lexington, was arrested at Cincinnati, at a hotel where she was alone, and her person and baggage searched by strangers, in pursuance ofa telegram from Lexing. ton. Coombs. is indignant at this: says that it ought to have been done at his house, if anywhere: says noman doubts his loyalty, &e, &e. We rather think this is a mistake. The circumstances show that he ts doubted. People who benetic by treason maj love the treason but are sure to despise the traitor. A War of #xlermination.—'Vhere is a rapid progress towards such a war, which we bave long been convinced would ocenr, ln addition to the accounts of burnings and murders near Nashville, in another column, we see the following in a yankee letter from Springtield, Missouri: “There is an excited state of feelire, and “death to the guerillas” is the moto. — Seven guerillas were hung in one day by a party of citizens, who joined together for a fox chase.” Lincoln has not responded to Presidevt Davis's order in regard to Pope's ofticers | ee i He rats stumps being held as hostages tor our guerillas | Hd pine logs and barangued the people and citizens who may be executed.

Vance, the Governor elect of ‘his State, arrived in this City on Saturday las., and took lodgings at the Yarborough House. At night « large number of cii zens, spontaneously assembled, waited on him, aud called for a speech. Though laligued by travel, and not in as robust beality as usual, owing to the hardships of camp service, be nevertheless responded in lis best manner, and for some tweniy minuces entertained bis audience with re- mark» which elicited the most enthusiastic approval aud applause, We thanked bis fellow-cilizens for the complimen itaplied in their call upon tim, We tiad just passed through a somewbat exched elecuiou. The people bad taken chen own affairs into their own bands, avd uad giveu a migorily for the Conservative cause und tor bin, which for maguitude was lke the deluge when compared with all subsequent visings and overflowing: of (he waters. There had been a feeble at- tempt to creace and array parties in the midst of war, but the people would have vove vl it, and had so declared by their vores, ‘The street corner politicians avd and urged them to go wich them, bad been quietly and firmly told that they would do po such thing—thar they weie eimioed to do thet own young even ip | War ities like tue present; and, by \beir verde at cue ballot box, hey tad acted ror chempselves, ao. for party, and bad told | ‘Vere polilicieus to take their seats fo ay | Maoy bard, and some unjust things bad beeu -aid of im duing ihe campaign.— been said that he was nov ip che He bd been oj ihe opinion that be was in (uose Ughis; bie be conressed thar, in ibis respec, be was very muci in che frame of miud oF one of Mr. McDuttie’s clienis who vad been arraigned ou a capiial charge, fence of Gis clieoat which drew cears from ive Cour, ue Jury, the audience, ibe women, children and all; avd the result!

Bur seriously, said Col. Vance, we must forget, if possible, the character of tbe late political campaign, and the untounded charges with which his triends and bimself had been assailed. Ie wanted the people to feel, as be felt, that the first, the great, tue absorbing purpose now should be to beat back our mvaders and establish the independence of this glorious Confederation of States, He desired to forget even that it had been charged that he and those with whom he had acted, were for areturo { Such a charge struck him as monstrous, Was it for this that North Carolina solemnly dissolved her con- nection with that goveroment? Was it for this that she had organized nearly sixty regiments, and had poured out her treasure and the blood of ber sons like water, on every battle-tield, from that of great Bethel to the crowning victories below Richmond? Was it for this that vur people were sub- micting cheerfully to all kinds of privations at home, while our brave boys were dariag disease, and wounds, and captivity, and death in the face of the enemy *— Was it for this that our women and chil- dreo lind contributed of their household goods—the work of their delicate fingers —uncounted stores of provisions for our troops, encouraging those who were al- ready in the field, and bidding others go to their aid ?—Was it for this that many of these women and children, on hundreds and hundreds of farms, were toiling day by day in the burning sun, with bare feet, following the plough, handling the hoe and the axe, that they might produce and gatber the harvests for sustenance while tbeir busbands, and fathers, and sons, and brothers were engaged in the fight? No, said he, gentlemen, our Fore are properly avd teribly in earnest. Their eyes are fixed on the goal of independence, and they will reach it, happen what may; and [ want you, and I want ali the people of the State, to aid me with all their energies, al their means, and all their confidence in this mighty struggle, until the Confederate States sball stand proudly among the na- lions free and independent. He would not characterize the charge made against his friends and himself of being recon- sirnctionisis, The people, at the polls, bud done that. The people had been a uvit from the first in their resistance to the Noribera government, and in their deter- mination to establish their independeno Yhey were a unit now. He forgav. those who had thus assailed him, as he hoped uis fends would; 4.d he would forget it, Whe could. He soped God would forgive chem for such a charge, brought on such _tacufticient grounds, against their own fel- low ciigens for party purposes. For his part he was determined to know no party dating (his war. He should think only of tue besi means to establish our indepen- dence, and in this great work he asked and expecied the co operation and support of all. Co}. Vance then referred to the number of troops furnished for the war by North- Carolina, and the manner in which those troops bad conducted themselves in the service. He knew thatour people were as determined as they were modest in their cbaracier, and always in earnest in what ibev undertook; but he was not prepared for tha brilliant dosh in their nature which they had exhibited on the buttle-field.— He had looked for steady, unyielding cour- age; but thev had shown themselves among the foremost, if not the very fore- most in the use of the bayonet. A Yankee prisoner, who was evidently a close obser- ver, had said to one of our soldiers, “You North-Carolinians have less sense and less powder than any soldiers I ever saw.”— “Whydo you say that?” responded the soldier, “Because,” said the Yankee, “whenever we saw a North-Carolina regi- ment in the late battles, they were double- quicking towards us; and pretty soon some little fellow in gray uniform would step ont in front of them and say, “fie buyonets,” and then he would say, “charge bayonets,” aud they would come right at us ina quick run.” “TI really believe,” said he, “ibat your soldiers don’t get their full pow- der ration, for they nevershoot more than once before we hear that everlasting order, “fic bayonets.” He thought our soldiers had a special fancy for empty muskets.— This, said Col. Vance, was the highest compliment which could have been paid to our troops. He also referred to the ex- alted character which our State maintained for her integrity and honesty among her Sisters, as was evidenced not only by ‘the scrupulous fidelity with which she had tbus far observed all her obligations to the common government, but by the high price which her bonds commanded in the Richmond market. It was the duty, as it Should be the pride of our people to main- tain this cbaracter under al] circumstances. Again thanking the assemblage for the honor done him by calling upon him, be bade them good night, and retired to his voom. His remarks, as we have stated, were most enthutiastically received, and we are glad to learn that they gave satis~ faction to many of those present who had voled against him. Col. Vance left in the cars for his home, in Buncombe, on Sunday evening. We are gratified to have it in our power to in- form our readers that his inauguration as Governor, on Monday the 8th day of next month, will be public. A large concourse will no doubt attend to witness the inau- guration. ‘he oaths of office will be ad- ministered by Chief Justice Pearson, or by sone one of the Judges of the Supreme or Superior Courts.-—Rul.

Ata meet- ing recently held in Ohio, the Democratic can- didate for Congress spoke of the draft as fol- lows. “The President has issued his proclamation lor three hundred thousand more troops, and Congress has passed a law authorizing him to cralt them.

To the Senate and House of Repreaen- tatives of the Confederate States: Itis again our fortune to meet for devising measures necessary to the public welfare whilst our country is involved in a desolating war. The sufferings endured by some portions of the people excite the deep solicitude of the Gov- ernment; and the sympathy thus evoked has been heighteued by the patriotic devotion with which these sufferings has been borne. The gallantry and guod conduct of our troops, always claiming the gratitude of the country, have been further illustrated on hard-fought fields, marked by exhibivions of individual prow- ess which can find but few parallels in ancient or modern times. Our army has not faltered in any of the va- rious trials to which it has been subjected, and the great body of the people has continued to manifest a zeal and unanimity which not only cheer the battle-stained soldier, but give assur- ance to the friends of constitutional liberty of -our final triumph in the pending struggle agaiust despotic usurpation. he vast army which threatened the Capital of the Confederacy has been defeated and driv- en from the lines of investment, and the ene- my, repeatedly foiled in his efforts for its cap- ture, is now seeking to raise new armies ona scaie such as modern history does not record to effect that subjugation of the South 80 often proclaimed as on the eve of accomplishmeat. The pertidy which disregarded rights secar- ed by compact, the madness which trampled on obligations made sac-ed by every consider- ation of honor, have been intensified by malig- nity engendered by defeat. These pussions have changed the characteroi the hosiilnies waged by our enemies, who are becoming daily less regardful of (he usages of civilized war aad the dictates ofhumanity. Rapine and wanton destruction of private property, war upon non- combatants, murder of captives, bloody threats to avenge the death of an invading soldiery by the slaughter of unarmed citizens, orders oj ban- ishment against peaceful families engaged in the cultivailon of the soil, are some of the means used by our ruthless invaders to enforce the submission of a free people to foreign swuy. Confiscation bills, of a character so airocious as to ensure, if executed, the utter ruin, of the entire population of these States, are passed by ‘their Congress und approved by their /xecu- live. The moneyed obligations of the Confederate Government are forged by citizens of the Uni- ted States, and publicly advertised for sale in their cities, with a notoriety which sufficiently attests the knowledge of their Government ; and its complicity in che crime is /arther evinc- ed by the fact chat the soldiers of the invadiag armies are found supplied with large quantities of these forged notes, as a means of despoiling the country people, by fraud, out of such por- tions of their property as armed violence may fail to reach. ‘Two, at least, of the Generals of the United States are engaged, unchecked by their Government, ju exciting servile insur- rection, and iu arming and iraining slaves for warfare against their masters, citizens of the Confederacy. Another has been found of ia- ~ stincts so brutal as to invite tte violence or his soldiery against the women of a captured city. Yet, ihe rebuke of civilized man has failed to evoke from the authorities of the U vited Staies one mark of disapprobation of his acts; nor is there any reason to suppose that the condact of Benjamin F. Builer has failed io secure from his Government the sanction and applause with which it is known io have been greeted by public meetings and portions of the press of the United States. To inquiries made of the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the Uni- ted States, whether the atrocious couduct of some of their military commandants met ihe sanction of that Government, answer has been evaded on the pretext thal the inquiry was iu- sulting ; and no method remains tur the repies- sion of these enormiies but such retributive justice as it may be found possible to execute. Retaliation in kind, for many of them, is im- practicable, for L have had occasion to remark in a former message, that under no excess of provocation could our noble-hearted defenders be driven to wreak vengeance on unarmed men, on women, or on children. But stern and ex- emplary punishment can and mast be meted out to the murderers and felons who, disgrac- ing the professionol arms, seek to make of public war the occasion for the commission of the most monstrous crimes. Deeply as we regret the cheracter of the contest into which we are about to be forced, we must accept it as an alternative which re- Geut manifestations give us little hope can be avoided, ‘The exasperation of failure has aroused the worst passions of our eaemies; a large portion of their people, even of their clergymen, now engage in urging an excited populace to the extreme of ferocity; and nothing remains but to vindicate our rights and to maintain our ex- istence by employing against our toe every energy and every resource at our disposal. I append for your information a copy of the papers exhibiting the action of the Government, up to the present time, for the repression of the outrages committed on our people. Other measures now in progress will be submiited hereafter. In inviting your attention to the legislation which the necesities of our condition require, those connected with the prosecution of the war command undivided attention. ‘The acts passed at your last session intended to secure the. public defence by general euroll- ment, and to render uniferm the rules govecn- ing troops in the service, had led to some unex- pecied criticism that is much to be regreted. The efficiency of the law has been thus somewhat impaired, though it is not believed that in any of the States the popular mind has withbeld its sanction frown either the necessity or propriety of your legislation. It is only by harmonious as well as zealous action that a Government a8 new as ours, ushered into ex- istence onthe very eve of a great war and un- provided with the material necesssry for con- ducting hostilities on so vast a scale, can fulfil its duties. Upon you, who are fully informed of the acts and purposes of the Government, and thoroughly imbued with the feelings and and sentiments of the people, must reliance by placed to secure this great object. You can best devise the means for establishing ‘hat en- tire co. operation of the State and Confederate Governments which is so essential to the well being of both at alltimes, but which is now indispensable to their very existence. And if any legislation shall seem to vou ap- propriate for adjusting differences of opinion, it wil; be my pleasure as well as duty to co-oper- ate in any measure that may be devised for re- —— @ just care for the public defence with proper defetence for the most scrupulous suc- aol of the Stat authorities. he report of the Secretary of the Treasury a will exhibit fa detail the operations of that de- partment. It will be seen with satisfaction that the credit of the Government securities remains unimpaired, and that this credi: is fully justified by the comparrtively small amount of accumulated debt, notwithstanding the mag- nitude of our military operations. The legislation of the last session provided for the purchase of supplies with the bonds of the Government ; but the,perseverence of the people for Treasury notes has been so marked that legislation is recommended to authorize an incresse in the issue of Treasury notes, which the public service seems to require. No grave iaconvenience need be apprehended from his increased issue, as the provision of law by which those notes are convertable into eight per cent. bonds forms an efficient and perma- neul safeguard against any serious depreciation of the currency. Your attention is also invited to the means proposed by the Secretary for facilitating the preparatien of these notes, and for guarding them against forgery. Jt is due to our people to state, that po manufacture of counterfeit notes exists within our linils, and tha: they are all imported from the Northern States. The report of the Secretary of War, which is submitted, contuins numerous suggestions for the legislation dcemed desirable, in orcer to add to the efficiency of the service. 1 invite your favorable consideration especi- ally io those recommendations which are inten- ded to secure the proper execuiious of the Con- script Law,, and the consolidation of companies, baitalions and regimenis, when so reduced in strength as to impair that uniformily of organ- ization which is necessary in the army, while an undve burthern is imposed on ihe treasury. The necessity for some legislation for controll- ing military transportatioa on the railroads, aud improving their present defeciive condition, forces itself upon the atiention of the Govern- meot, and I trast you will be able to devise sat- istactory measures for attaiuing this purpose The legislation on the subject of general offi- cers involves the service in some difficuliies which are pointed out by the Secretary, and for which the remedy suggested by him seems appropriate. In connection with this subject, I am of opinion that prudence dictates some provisions for the increase of the army in the event of emergencies not now anticipated. ‘The very lurge increase of forces recently called into the field by the President of the United States, may render it necessary hereafier to exiend the pro- visions of the Conscript law so as to embrace persons between the ages of thirty-five and forty-live years. The vigor and efficiency of our present forces, their condition, and the skill and abili:y which distinguish their leaders, in- spire ihe belief that no turther enrollment will be necessary. But a wise toresight requires that, if a necessity should be suddenly develop- ed during the recess of Congress requiring in- creased forces for our defence, means should exist ‘or culling such forces into the field with- oui awaiting the re-assembling of the legisla- tive department of the Government. In the election aod appointment of officers for he provisional army, it was to be anticipa- ted that mistakes would be made, and incom- petent officers of all grades introduced into the service. Inthe absence of experience, and with no reliable guide for selection, Executive ap- pointments, as well as elections, have been sometimes upiortunate. ‘The good of the ser-- vice, the interests of our country require that some means be devised for withdrawing the commissions of officers who are incompetent ior the duties required by their position. And I trust you will tind means for releiving the ar- my of such officers by some mode more prompt and less wounding (o their sensibility than the judgement of a court-martial. Within a receat period we have etlected the object so long desired of an arrangement for an exchange of prisoners, Which is now being exe- cuted by delivery ai the points agreed upon, our brave and unfortunate countrymen to their places in the ranks of the army, trom which, by the foriunes of war, they have been, fora time separated. The details of the arrangement will be communicated to you in a special report, when iurther progress hus been made in their execution. Of the particulars concerning the operations of the War Department, you will be informed by the Secretaty in his report and the accom- panying documents. The report of the Secretary of the Navy embraces the operations and present condition of this branch of the public service, both afloat aud ashore, the consiruction and equipment of armed vessels at home and abroad, the manu- facture of ordnance and ordnance stores, and the estublishinent of workshops and the devel- opment Oo: our resources of coal and iron.

The report of the Postinaster General dis- closes the embarrassment which resulied in the posial service from the occupation by the eue- my of the Mississippi river, and portions of the territory of the diferent States. ‘he measures taken by the department for releiving these embuarrassinems us far as praticable, are detail in this report. It is a subject of congratulation that during the ten months that ended on the 3d of March last the expenses of the depart- ment were largely increased, whilst its revenue wus augmented, as Campared with a correspon- ing period, ending on the 30th June, 1861, when the postal service was conducted under the authoriy delegated to the United States. Sufficient (ime has not yet elapsed to deter- mine whether the measures heretofore devised by Congress will accomplish the end of bringing the expenditures of the deparimest within the limits of its own revenues by the Ist of March next, as required by the Constitution. I am happy to inform you that, in spite both of blandishmenis and threats, used in profusion by the agents of the Governmentot the Unired Staies, the Indian nations within the Confeder- acy have remained firm in their Joyalty and steadfast in the observence of their treaty gaygements with this Government. .

Their favourite plan of sarrounding us on all sides, and crushing us to death, as with the folds of an anaconda, is now aban- doned, The disasters they have suf- fered are all ascribed to the fallacy of this plan of operations, from the exposure to which it subjected them, and the New York Zribune openly ridicules the famed Anaconda as an expioded humbug. Concentration is now the favour- ite tactics; and we are to be assail- ed from the line of the Rapidan by that can be collected and spared from the four quarters of the com- pass.

It is not to be doubted that the enemy is capable of massing an im mense army in front of Washington City, not only for defensive but for, offensive purposes. They have pur- shaded themselves that the true base fora march upon Richmond ig the Potomac and Rappahannock, of which idea they have grown as fond as they are sick of the thought of the York or t..e James.

The movements of MeOlellan since Sunday night last, when he evacuated his position on James river, areeo us shrouded in much un- certainty. On that night his transports, saiq to have been one hundred and eight in num- ber, and all supposed to have been loaded with troops, are known to have dropped down the river. Facts have, however, come to our knowledge which favour the idea that these vessels carried only the baggage and stores of the army, whilst the army itself proceeded overland to the York or Pamunkey rivers, Ata late hour Sunday night, our pickets at Turkey island and Malvern Hill observed the light of numerous extensive fires, appa- rently within the enemy's encampment. At daylight the next morning, General Cobb, with his legion, approached the enemy’s lines and found them deserted. I:nmense piles of com- missary and quartermaster stores were burn- ing; hundreds of horses and mules browsed at will, and countless tents flecked with white the woods and field. Miles of entrenchments furrowed the face of the country ; but no can- non were there to make them terrible, and the only thing visible in the shape of a Yan- kee was a number of ‘log figure” sentinels, who had been perched on the entrenchments to deceive distant observers. But a great cloud of dust, rising iu the direction of Charles City Court House, indicated a path ofa por- tion at least of the “Army of the the Potom- ac.” Pursuing on in the direction of the court House, our cavalry came in sight of the rear of the cnemy’s columns, and became aware that his force was very heavy. Not being of sufficient strength to make an attack, our cay- alry hung upon the enemy's rear for the pur- pose of watching his movements, From per- sonal observations, apd the reports of the coun- try people, our officers were induced to be- li¢ve that McClellan, with the whole or the greater part of his army, Defeeen Jifty and sev- enty-five thousaund men, were in front of them. During Monday evening the enemy crossed the Chickahominy at Providence Forge, burnt the bridges in his rear, and, it was thought, took the route for New Kent Court House. Being stopped from further pursuit: by the destruction of the bridges over the Clicka- hominy, our cavalry countermarched and re- turned, From some of these men who, on their return, visited McCledan's late eneamp- ment, we have received very interesting ac- counts, which we regret our want of space prevents us from laying before our readers. — Bat we must dispose of thens in afew words.

LATER. Since the above was in type, we have come into possession of some entirely reliable and highly interesting information regarding Me- ' Clellan’s movements. At eizht oclock, yester- day morning, the superintendent ot the York River Railroad left Richmond with an engine intending, owing to the uncertainty of the cnemy's movements, to go only as far as “Dis- patch” station. But on arriving at this point he received a message from Col. Roeper, com- manding our cavalry in New Kent, that he might safely proceed to the White House, the enemy not being, or likely to be, in the neigh- borhood of the road. Proceeding down the road, at Tunstall’s he had an interview with Major Roper, from which he received satistac- tory information of the enemy’s movements. It seem that on Monday; McClellan crossed the Chickahominy into New Kent, with be- tween ten and fifteen (not fifty) thousand men, and wheeling to the right, marched to- wards Williamsburg. Information received direct from Williamsburg yesterdy morning is to the effect that he was then passing through that town, en route fer Yorktown o1 Fortress Monroe. From this information, upon the authentic- ity of which we have every reliance, we con- clude that McClellan, having on last: Sunday night sent off by water all of his forces that the transports would accommodate, deter- mined to march the remainder to Fortress Monroe, or some other convenient point, to meet the transports on their return from Fredericksburg. This march he was on yes- terday performing. He has by this time been rejoined by his transports, and is embarking ' on them for his final destination—Fredericks or Aquia Creek, To give a quietus to the rumour prevailing here yesterday, that McClellan was debarking all his forces at the White House, we will mention that the gentleman to whom we are indebted for the above information, yesterday morning visited that loca ty, remained sever- al hours and returned without sceing a Yan- i kee, except three deserters, who were brought in by onr cavalry, and whom he brought with hin to this city, How to be a Man.—“When Car- lyle was asked by a young person to point ont what course of reading he thonght best to make him aman, he replied in his characteristic man- ner: ‘Tt is not by books alone, or by books chiefly, that a man is in all points aman.

The Talk in the Wood. Little Amy Harris and ber aunt Sarah were sittingjon a green, mos- sy bank beneath the shade of the no- ble forest trees. They had been ta- king a long walk and were resting for a little while in the quiet nook they had discovered on their way home. Amy held in her hand a huge bouquet of wild flowers that she had gathered, and the ground at her feet was covered with beautiful blue vi- olets. She stooped down picked one of them, and sat looking thoughtfal- ly at it for a moment. “Auntie,” said she, at length, “T think I love the blue violet better than any of the other spring flow- ers. It always seems to be looking up to heaven and thanking God for having made it.” “Yes, dear, it isasweet little flow- er, and so are all these beautiful blossoms that He has strewn around our pathway. Did you ever think of the lesson that flowers teach ?” “I don’t know that Ihave. Some teach humility, I believe, and trust, do they not?” “Yes, and then there is another great lesson that is taught us: It is this: ‘God is love.’ When we look on the mighty ocean, when wesee the lighnting, and hear the thunder, we are reminded of the power of God, but when we look on the little flowers around us, we think of His goodness to us. You remember those familiar lines of Mrs. Howitt’s: “God might have made the earth bring forth Enough for great and small, The oak tree and the cedar tree, Without a flower at all.” It was because He loved us, and because He wanted this world where He had placed us to seem beautiful and pleasant to us that Ile gave us so many lovely flowers. They all speak of God’s love and kindness, and every little child ought to study their teachings, and thank the Al- mighty for His bounties. Another thing is brought to our minds when we see the flowers. Je- sus loved them. He used them as texts for his sermons and pointed them out to His disciples, as exam- ples for them to follow. When you walk in the woods and in the greeu fields, you must think about these things, for there is nothing that God has made, be it ever so lowly, that you cannot learn some good lesson from, if you will but try.—S. 8S. umes. FOR CHILDREN. “Not yet,” said a little boy, as he was busy with his trap and ball.— “When I grow older, I will think about my soul.” The little boy grew to be a young man. “Not yet,” said the young man.— “Tam about to enter into trade.— When I see my business prosper, then I shall have more time than now.” Business did prosper. “Not yet,” said the man of busi- ness. ‘My children must have my care. When they are settled in life I shall be better able to attend to re- ligion.” He lived to be a gray-headed old man. ‘Not yet,” still he cried, “I shall ‘oon retire from trade, and then I shall have nothing else to do but to read and pray.” And so he died. He put off to another time what should have been done when achild. Le lived with- ont God, and without hope. WHAT IS PRAYER. I once enquired of a company of children, from ten to sixteen years old, “What is prayer?” and gave them a week to consider the ques- tion. Atthe end of that period they met again. Some said one thing and some another, the telling of which might be more amusing than profitable to you; but one little girl about ten years old said, “It is fir ing up the desires of the heart to | God for his blessings. | “And what blessing should we de- sire of the blessed God in prayer?” “A new and contrite heart,” said she. “And anything else?” ‘Yes; that we may be able to love and serve the Savior, who gave himself for us.” “Well, my dear child, now tell me, did you ever pray for these great blessings?” uf ao ; but I often fear,” replied she. ‘ Well,” said I to her, “the contrite heart, and the love of Christ to us, and our love to him, are three great blessings needful to our present and oar future good : contin- ue to pray, and you will be a happy child, for the Savior will give you his love, and enable you to love and serve him.” This dear child is now in the “happy land,” where her pray- ers are turned to praises, and her joy is full. And she joyfully proves that children’s prayers are heard, and are most graciously answered by him who says, ‘Those that seek me early shull find me.’ HELPING ONE ANOTHER. Why, Isaac! you seem to be much pleased. What has happened ? I will tell you. As I was coming a loug to school almost ready to ery, because I could not say my lesson, one of the boys asked why I was so sad, and I| told bim the reason. “Do not be discouraged,” said he. “T know how you feel; let me help you.” ‘Then he went over the lesson and I said it after him, until 1 knew it all. T asked him how he came to be so kind to me. “Because,” said he, I know your trouble; for I was once Just so, aud a man stopped me, and helped me over the dithculty, as I have you.” He said, that then he thanked the man and was told by him to do the same kindness to the first boy he met in the same trouble. Isaac’s companion said, ‘This is a pleasent story, and it reminds me of two lines, which I have somewhere read :” Who out of choice, does all the good he can.—umstead’s second reading book. WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. What is it makes me happiest? Is it my last new play? Is it doggie, ball, or hoop? Can you, dear mamma, say ? Is it my puzzles or my blocks? My pleasant solitaire ? My dolls, my kittens, or my books? Or flowers fresh and fair ? What is it makes me happiest? It is not one of these ; Yet they are pretty things I love, And never fail to please. Oh, it is looks and tones of Jove, From those { love the best, That follow me when I do right; These make me happiest. D. L. BRINGLE, COMMISSION MERCHANT, SALISBURY, N.

Tho’nobly one—and nobly all, Beat back the blood-red tide of war, Fearless alike of deadly ball,— Of broadsword or of cimetar. Tho’triumph crowns each manly brow, And fame attends thy proud career, Yet soldier!wave no banner now; Shout not,o'er thy victory here: For in that guarded tent there lies, The great,the noble,and the brave ;— IIe gave himself a sacrifice, His own bright sunny South to save. Then gather all in silence there, Soldiers to conquest proudly led; Nor shame to let your tears declare, A glorious tribute to the dead. Breathe then a prayer around his bed, And lay him down from all apart; It needs no record of the dead— ‘Tis written on a nation’s heart. Aud there he'll live while freedom throws, Her halo,o'er his country’s fame, And while a hero’s deed bestows, Renown upon his country’s name. W. Lincounton,N.C. ey eae, For the Watchman.

For the Watchman. Camp NEAR Orange O.H.,Va.,)August 18,1862.( Mr.Bruner:Seated on a blanket,under an oak shrub,in an old field,surrounded by infantry,artillery and Quartermasters’bag- gage wagons,while immediately in front Maj.Gen.Longstreet’s Division is marching rapidly on to meet the enemy,and as soon as his column has passed ours will take up the line of march for the same destination; and if my letter should be disconnected and badly written,my apology is “surrounding scenes”in confusion, We left Richmond a few days since and came to Hanover Junction and remained there for about three days,then again took up the line of march and were halted here as above stated and will remain till this after- noon and perhaps all day. There is a large force now concentrated here and the intention is to strike a heavy blow,and what will be the result remains to be seen.Our army is now very much im- proved in character,though much reduced in numbers.The officers have improved in drill and discipline,and the battles of Seven Pines and the six days before Richmond have rid the army of the faint hearted,as it is not hard to get a resignation approved if the offi- cer fails in courage on the field. Pope's late orders have aroused the soldiers very much and you will see by Jackson’s late batue the effect it had upon them,where two divisions defeated three fresh divisions of the enemy and took a large number of prisoners, arms,&c.The enemy retired,leaving all their wounded in our hands.The particulars of the battle have not yet been circulated in the army,and the reason is,we have been on the move all the time and have not had the opportunity of seeing the late papers. Jackson is still hovering around the enemy, and when he least expects he will pounce upon him and inake him feel the penalty of invading the soil of the South;and this week may yet behold the halo of glory still hover- ing o'er our arms and growing more brilliant, adding strength to the frame of the “Young Confederacy,”or it may witness its reverse, and for a time the lustre which now clusters in brilliant wreaths around our arms may be dimmed,but never obliterated,not so long as i there remains ten thousand soldiers in the field,will they yield to the insolent foe that And I think that I can safely say there is not a single soldier in now treads upon our soil. this army that would not welcome death,if he thought the South in the end would be compelled to yield to Yankee power.It seems rather strange,but still it is true,that numbers are leaving the army upon every pretence that can be thought of,some of which show the great depravity of human nature,There are officers and soldiers who left their homes full of enthusiasm,but the slow and tedious labor over a twelve months’ campaigu has worn out their stock of endur- ance,and if they have been so unfortunate as to receive any injury in former life it is now maguified ten-fold. After the battles of Seven Pines,the sys- tem of granting furloughs to wounded men was so abused that as soon as the six days battles before Richmond were decided,there was an order issued that no officer or soldier should leave the army under any considera- tion,either sick or wounded.They were of- fered the privilege of private houses and hos- pitals in and around Richmond,and after go- ing to those places,they might apply to the Medical Board for leave of absence,which was so circuitous that it required considera- ble time to accomplish the undertaking.And the result was that very few officers of any grade and uo privates,except those badly wounded,were allowed to leave Richmond. Man is a curiosity,and the army will de- velop all his qualities cither good or bad,and it is amusing to witness the actions of men annoyed by the tedium of camp lite and the excitement of an action. I might extend this article to double the length of this letter but space forbids,as this sheet is about full and it is the last I have,I inay,Deo volente,resume the same subject again.Tora. -oo Remember the soldiers.—We hope that our noble-hearted North Carolina women are busily employed in knitting socks,get- ting up blankets,worsted drawers and shirts,dvc.,for our soldiers for the winter.

PAY OF OUR SOLDIERS. The pitiful pay of our soldiers,wien they get it,is a crying shame upon our government.Congress must do something quickly to relieve them.Speculation and extortion and the pinch ofthe war haye brought them aod their familiesto the door of starvation.Only thinkof it—$11 per month,and $50 commutation for cloth- ing for a yeat,for our brave soldiers,‘when shoes sell at $10 to 12,pants at@15 to $20,shirts at $4 to $5 coats at 815 to 880, &c.;bacon at 40 cts,meal $1 50,sugar at 60 ets.,dsc.Can it be possible that the government will put them off with that pitiful sum,unless it breaks up the extor- tion and specalation of the country?It |will not do,Our soldiers must be,better paid,of we cannot expect Lo prosper.Let the salaries of the higher officers be reduced brigades,regiments and-companies made smatier,in order that the rank and file may be Better paid.Moreover,’some of them aye not’paid regularly.’We whderstand'f our soldiers huve not recétvedthatsqnieofoariersbw¥enotrect a dollar of their wages,sinee,,.the January last.Whore fault,wi 1—Ral. $tandard.119!by iM oe: wt GOOD NEWS FROM T&we TAINS.hay R.C.Tillery,of Oi Hb O alry regiment,just from Baptist Gap in the vieinity of Camberland Gap. informs the Knoxville Register that sixty 4and 6 horse wagons were captured from the Federals,contain- ing as,estimated by.qur Quartermas- ter teh daga mens!for;onr forces, one barrel of wine and one of alco- hoki afromtheFederalstotheirheadqnar- ters,saying that they had,then onlythreedaysrationsandwantedareinforcement.of six regiments,or theywouldhavetoevacuatetheGap.— Out forceswerit on from there’and:bagged Col Hhck’s regiment of Ten-negeee tories,expept a few stragglers and paroled them,requiring them. togo North,but still held on te Huck aud other officers.These to rigs reported to our informant,as he conversed with several of them,that.they are willing to be captared andreleasedfromobligationseeany,more against the South,being heart-ily tired of the service.They saidthree;.or four hundred were then prieonere,and about three hundred had previoasly deserted.

The fact of the Col’s position in the army, maintaining the war and resisting the Un- ion,wis ‘guite satisfactory on this point to such.a majority of the people of North Carolinaas never was heard of before and may neverbe heard of again.But none so blind as they who will not see.These Editors:would not see it in that light— Well,Col,Vance is elected,comes to Ral- eigb and makes a speech,in which occurs the following passage:— “He wanted the people to feel,as he felt,that the first,the great,the absorbingpurposenowshouldbetobeatbackour invaders and establish the independence of this glorious Contederation of States.He desired to forget even that it bad been cha tbat he and those with whom he catae for a return to the old Union.

Does,President Davis know that he has had about eighty mules at this place for the last six weeks or two months,eating their heads off?Capt.M’Coy has doubtless done his duty in purchasing these mules,and is doing it farther,in feeding them on corn at $1.25 per bushel,and keeping some 7 or 8 stout negroes to attend to them.But if the Government needed them and has any thing for them to do,it is strange they should be left here so long ata OG expense. And does President Davis know that he has a huge pile of serap iron here,paid for some months ago,by a Government officer employed at a good salary expressly for tbe purpose of collecting it?And does he know that he has here an enormous quantity of bacon,stacked up in bulks of frightful dimen- sions,with multiplied chances of spoiling,if not already unfit for the stomach of any hu- man being?It has been here for months. Who is to eat it?It is time they had it.If cost from 25 to 35 eents per |b.and should be used soon if ever—if not now too late. And does President Davis kuow how many officials are in his employ here,—buying pro- visions,keeping book accounts,marking box- es,sporting uniforms and splurging around generally,in regimentals of various grades? Who knows them ? Do senda Where are they from ? Do they all really belong to you? special agent bere to inspect them and their papers,and carry you back a minute report. Please give directions to the agent to post up a copy of his report at three or more public places in the country,for our people really feel curious on this interesting subject. And does President Davis know that in spite of the conscript law there are still a good number of young men about this town, (some of them cockadeites)who have no idea of helping to win our independence by any sort of effort of theirs,but on the contrary, are actively engaged,from day to day,in speculating and making hard times harder ? Docs he know,that while this is so,hundreds of our farms have been deprived of the only mau there was on them;and that on the wives of these men falls the responsibility of watching over from one to six little children, milking the cows,washing,cooking,chopping wood,mowing the meadow,gathering the corn,seeding the wheat and oats,digging the potatoes,going to mill,We.&c.?Is there no way of sending the speculators into the ariny and keeping the working men at home? If not,will it all!work out right as it is,or will it not? We do not expect President Davis to watch over the whole country with perfection,and apply a remedy for every evil.We are sure he is doing all in his power and as well as it is possible.Neither do we expect him to an- awer our questions,notwithstanding some public abuses and wrongs are indicated by them.But we do expect the people to no- tice these things,and so far as it is in their power,apply the correction.Public senti- ment in this country make and unmake,model and re-model,almost every thing;and ont- spoken public sentiment here will not fail to accomplish good. -me - Way-Side Hospital.—We publish,this week,after crowding it out for two succes- sive weeks,the monthly report of this most useful institution.And we would take this occasion to renew the call on the people of this,and the surrounding coun. ties,to do something to sustain this excel- lent establishment.It is of great value to the sick and wounded soldiers who pass here,many of whom,before its establish- ment,suffered deprivation and neglect,of- ten spending the night om the bard floors of the ticketoffice or Railroad shed.Now, immediately upon their arrival here,they are conducted to comfortable quarters, where they are met and attended to by the ladies of our town,with all the tender- ness char@iiterizes the sex in,times like these, It is a real pleasure to see bow well the way-worn and afflicted soldiers enjoy this heart-felt sympathy which ever Srceanel F 2 n ‘the odinforts jf BY pc here=' beneficence..

On the 20’sin the left hand vignette in the genuine,the brim of the sailor’s hat is clear of the coat eollar behind and there is shading be- hind the ship in the rear of the sailor.In the counterfeit the hat brim touches the coat col- lar,and there is no shading behind the ship. On the 50’s centre vignette a woman is hold- ing up the lid of the chest—in the genwine, there is a lock on the chest—in the counter- feit,the lock is not se perceptible.On the left lower corner in the genuine,the hair ef the bare-headed man is brushed smoothly,as if with a wet brush and to cover a partially bald head;in the counterfeit the hair looks as if blown by the wind.The rule worn in the right upper corner die (50)is different in the coun- terfeit somewhat from the genuineOnthe100’sin the centre vignette in the genuine,the mule stands at the cotton screw slightly quartering,as if going around in the circle,presewting nearly a full back side view of the mule.In the counterfeit the mule quarters around considerably,showing nearly broad side.{n the genuine between the feet of the sailor on the left corner,there are two little stones—in the counterfeit there are three stones.—Raletgh Standar.l. er oe 6 Prayers in Hurope for the Termination of the War in America.—The English diocese of Oxford,England,has taken the initiative of offering up public prayers for this country,the Bishop baving addressed a letter to his archdeacons,in which he communicates the following injunction : “You are earnestly desired to make your humble supplications to Almighty God, who is the author of peace and lover of concord,that He will promote peace among our brethren in America,and inspire their hearts with Christian unity and fellowship. ANOTHER SKIRMISH. Cuattanooca,Aug.28.—Gen.Maxey yes- terday had a cavalry and infantry brush with the enems at Bridgeport,who tried to repossess the place.Cols.Mclnstry’s 32nd Ala.,and Rice’s Cavalry were all that were engaged on our side.The enemy were gallantly repulsed, and were annoyed all Jast night in their en- trenchments there and at Battle Creek.This morning they have entirely disappeared. Eight or ten were wounded on our side.— None were killed. A Sueur Brusu at City Point.—On Wed- nesday night,the enemy’s gunboats in J umes riverlanded some two or three barges filled with men at City Point.‘They were not dis- turbed until yesterday morning,when our pick- ets blazed awuy ut the group,and some twoor three were seen to fall.The whole purty speedily scampered to the barges and pulled off,for the gunboats.One of the boatsthen drop- ped down the river,took position,and bombarded the Point for some half houror more.Nodam- ave whatever was doneto our men,but It is thought the rifled piece with which we replied from shore,sent more than one shot into the piratical craft.The object of the Janding in such smal]force did not transpire,but one or two very plausible conjectures have been sug- gested.—Petershurg Express.

Gen.Maxey’s brigade crossed the river last night and occupied Bndgeport,without firing a guo.Sunday marning the Yankees got frighten- ed at McMinnville,and evacuated,burning an immense amount of stores and munitions. In three hours from the time the panic commenced not a Yankee was 12 McMinn- ville.A gentleman says that the Nashville Union reports that Morgan and Forrest had a battle near Russelville,with the Yankees,in which the Abolitionists were whipped. The Union says the Federal forces at Clarksville have surrendered to a smaller force of guernilas. Mosrnr,Aug.27. A special dispatch to the Mobile Advertiser&Register,dated Tupelo,Aug.26,says:Memphis papers of the 23d have been re- ceived,They publish an intercepted lettur from Gen,Hindman to Gen.Bragg,in which the former states he has thirty thousand men «Arkansians,Texians,Mississippians,and only 3,000 stand of arms. The Yankee papers report a battle as hav- ing been tought at Clarendon,on the WhiteRiver,easterly from Arkansas,between six regiments of Yankee infantry and eight regi- ments of Contederate cavalry,under Genera! Hindman.They claim to have won a victo- ry and announce a heavy Joss on both sides. “It is stated that two regiments have been enlisted in Chicago and that three regments per day pass through Philadelphia from the eastward. The St.Louis Democrat has intelligence confirming the reported deteatofthe Lincoln- ites State Militia of Missouri,by Quantreil. the Sonthern Partizan jeader.It is confessed that the Militia lost two pieces of artillery and 200 men.The battle occurred at)Love Jack.in Jackson county,on Kansas border, and not tar from the Missouri River. A correspondent of the Chicazo Tones es- timates the force under Buell’s command 1° 35.000 men. RQUEIBETEHEN,ASTEANTSS Licumonp,Aug.29. Northern papers of the 23d,have been re- ceived. The most interesting news is the report of the ocenpation of Clarksvitie,Teun.,by thie Confederates. The Yankees have abandoned Fort Dor elson. Ten Indiana regiments,besides cavalry and artillery,have been sent into Kentucky. Gen.Corcoran arrived at Philadelphia on the 21st.and met with a gratifying reception. He has disposed of his Diary,which is soon to make its appearance in print. Several ladies have been arrested at Par- kersburg,Va.,and imprisoned until they took the oath of allegiance. ee FROM THE RAPVPAHANOCK—OCCU- PATION OF MANASSAS JUNCTION BY OUR ADVANCE. The news from the lme of the Rappahan- ock,though not so full and complete as we could desire,is nevertheless interesting and important.It is understood as pertectly reli- able that the advance of our forces havereachedManassasandcapturedtheresome eight or ten heavy guns and an immense quantity of stores. The portion of the Yankee army under Pope was at Warrenton on Weduesday,and its retreat in the direction of Alexandtia is entirely iniercepted.The only route bywhichhecouldreachthatpointisbyway of the junction,which is now in possessionofourforces.it is not probable that he will succeed in forcing his way back to the Poto-mac by taking that route.If this statement be correct—and we have no reason to ques- tion its authenticity—the only road for his escape would seem to be by way of thePlainstoMiddleburg.and trom thence to Leesburg,iu London county. Burnside with his army corpse,was at Fredericksburg yesterday.and was reinforcedRYtwodivisionsofthearmylately«under MeClellan,but will never reach Pope. We have no intelligence of any heavy fighting,and itis somewhat surprising that our troops have met with so few conobstruc- tions in their advance.It Govern:nent cir- cles there seems to be not the least appre- hension for the safety of our army. Indeed,we have reason to believe that the most lively hopes are entertained of a triumph which will eclipse any that has beep vouchsafed to our arms since the war com- menced.The intelligence that the enemy has been reinforced has created no uneasiness, and not the remotest idea ofa reverse 1s en- tertained. To sum up the whole,we are warranted in the conclusion that the enemy’s forces are8osituatedthatafurtherretreatwouldbe decidedly more disastrous than the acceptanceofbattle,and that in either event he is invita-bly subjected to reverse from which it willbenoeasymattertorecover.—Richmond lenich _—-—ome —-—— At a Printers’Featival,recently,the follow- idg sentiment was offered:“Woman—evoit only té the press in the dis- made this successfulforay,semination of news. -—- FR Thro (astev we hav of the ¢ force,¢ thousal burg: it is the that se lines to on this twenty York I The ter is a terly Glouce houses bers of Queen, ging tlAda any tin this 6e vandals enjoym will ev A ge from B folk. ago,at of his men,h ‘The tr Penins the one bed, have| injury the cl -Vvsten by SOI A lett Caroli in thi: which semng in che oue of anoth theret Major Carol pile st |not Was a ehiied oun dy the ol ft ho my P ing a ed to ea)tty \\ CONT but t of sud Majo North COMPS irs atsthnn 11, Th Mipth aud ) Gays. “And| Wide ¢ mus bo lita flew That a And t sum In all tow 1 flun With| rtay But th tear Ty on tl AY th div Th LUE CE with bem chile noel huane S011 he la love the¢ anal retuy But he d D TI eoun nia, wife her In joine he here "OOK deva an a sons But In of A son Vvear vow Pn A=", oe-a FROM THE fone 9_Tenants poor Whelortteaireswehaveintelligencepftherecentmovementsoftheenemy,ind ’f coer force,estimated at between five hundred and a thousand,still occupy thé ‘town of Williams-burg.On Wedscadiap)night,poyboldgned,asitisthought,by our sinall show of,strength in| that section,the Yankeesextended theirpleketinestoBarhaimaville.«point,seventeen miles on this side of Williamsburg.and distant onlytwentymilesfromTdnstall’s Station,of the York Rivet railway.;The Yankee force stil)remainingin Glouces- ter is about fifteea hundred.They have ut-werly wasted the country for miles aroundGloucesterPoipt,in many cases burning the houses and driving off the inhabitants.Num-bers of the citizeus hdve arriyed in’King and Queen,aud somein New Kent county,beg-ging their bread.A dash of a thousand of our cavalry would at any time within the,past tea days have freed this section of country of the presence of these vandale.If they are to be Jeft in anintesmuptedenjoymentofthecountry,it is not likely theywillevertaketheirdeparture.

When it is eaid that we ought al-ways to have in view and seek for the conversion of the children,wearemetwiththeobjection,“children cannot have faith,”“children can- not be Christians.”But,as you know,God bas nowhere,in Hie word,said that children cannot ex-ercise faith,and it is great presump-tion and wickedness for many to sayonthissubjectwhatGodhasnever said;and itis a great mistake tothinkthatchildrencannotbelieve and be Christians ;nay,it isthe verybesttimeofallperiodsoflifeto believe.So far from God’s teaching that children cannot have faith,He teach-es clearly that they can have faith. “I love them that love me,and they troubles~arrive, boys,bear them bravely.. THE STICK OF CANDY. Gerald and Thomas were brothers.One cold day when the ground wasfrozen,they were driving a hoop.— Both boye were following and driv-ing the same hoop.This is rather dangerone,as the boys,running onebehindtheother,and both driving the same hoop,are liable to ran oneachotherandfall.As they were driving their hoop down the street, running as fast as they could,Ger.ald,the younger,behind,Thomas hit his foot against a stone,and fellheadlonguponthefrozengroand— coming down with violence upon his bare bande‘and face.Gerald,being close bebind and runniug fast,could not etop,when his brother fell,but came down with his whole weightuponThomas.This hurt Thomas still worse.He was angry at Ger- ald for falling on him.They bothrose.Thomas,in his‘wrath,began to scold and beat him.What did that seek me early shall find me.”What shall we say of Samuel,andJohntheBaptist,and the ten thousandlittlechildrenwhohavebeliev-ed in him,and gone up to HeaventouniteinsingingthenewgongofMosesandtheLamb? Take a class of these little ones,tell them of Jesus,of the man ofCalvarywhodiedforthem,and you will see the tears rolling down theirchecks,and their little hearts willnearlyburstwithemotions.Whatparentistherewhobasuotseenev-ery evidence of piety in some oneorotherofhisorherchildren?—Ah!if the secrets of all hearts could be unfolded,it would be found thatthegermofthenewlifehadbeenplantedinthesoulofmanyandma.ny achild.Faith is the gift of God—It is not a natural,but asupernat-ural thing ;and God can give faith toachildaseasilyastoagrownperson.Why can’t the child believe?He has all the faculties,and God’s Ho-ly Spirit can work in his heart aseasilyasinavyheart.But of allages,that of childhood is the verybestformakingdeepandabidinreligiousimpressions;then the iadandheartaresoftandpliable—un-contaminated and unhardened by theinfluenceoftheworld,and the good Gerald do?Did he cry out,andstrikeback?Ile did nv such thing.He put his hand into his pocket hur-riedly,fumbled about,and seondrewoutastickofcandyandthrust into his mouth,as he was scoldingandbeatinghim.Thomas instantlystoppedandlookedconfusedandashamed.Uis brother urged himtotakethecandy.He took it and began to eat—sorry enough that hehadstruckhisaffectionateaadgen- erous brother. Thus the wrath was disarmed,andhisblowsstayed,by the love andkindnessofhisgentleheartedbroth-er. What boy or girl does not knowthatastickofcandyisabetter weapon to fight with,and more suretogainthevictory,than a stick of wood,a rock,ora fist. For the Wetewman I LOVE THEE. BY TEXIANNA.

J.J.BRONER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR, 4 The Leaving Soldiers.n BY A SOLDIER AT CAMP WYATT. Oh,dear soldiers,we are leaving Our lovely land and home, Many tears for us are falling While the battle-field we roam. For we leave a feeble brotherWhocanneyer,with us go, But his heart and soul are lovelyAndhistear-drops for us flow. And we have a lovely sister Who i¢wishing us God speed,Who is praying we may conquer Ajl the abolition breed, And our father’s old and feebleAndhishead13growing:grey ; He would dike us to be with hin And to cheer Lin every day. Bot he bids ts go and conquer All the foes that on us press; Says our cause ts just and hbly And the Lord vur land will bless. Aud we have a loving motherWhodoesshedawarmertearThancanflowfromanyotherBottorloveofFreedomdear. And oar bosoms heave with sorrow When we mark her throbbing breast, Wii's she prays with firm devotion That our efforts may be blest. Oh,my wife's so sweet and lovely And her soul's 30 valm and free, She's the richest carthly blessing Heaven eer bestowed on ine. And she prays that God will guide us And protect us Ou our way. That Oue foes may never couquer But be driven every day. And our children,Heaven bless then, They are innocent and kind With no father to caress then Or to cultivate their mind. But thetr inother’s gentle whisper They wili vlten,often bear, Pressed with waim aod sweet emotion,With many a kiss and balmy tear. And our sweethearts often thinking Will we ever meet agaits, Will oar stroug men drive back Lincoln, And our hbertics regaia? Oh,they feel the hidden sorrow Presaing on their gentle heart, And they feel the rugged harrows Of our troubles when we part. Tiong oar bones should bleach the valley And our lives shonld cease to be,We wil!fight what days are left us For our sacred hberty. THE REACTION IN NEW YORK.

On Mecday:Gen.A.P.Hill moved down fram Salem along the Manassas Gap railroad, and on Tuesday took possession of Manassas Junction,capturing several hundred prisoners and eight or ten guns.Gen.Ewell fullowed Gen,Hill,and Gen.Taliaferro commanding Gen.dackson’s old division,followed Gen. Ewell,Gen.Taliaferro reached Manassas Wednesday evening just as the troops of Ewell and Hill were evacuating that position and falling back towards Bull Ran in the di- rection of Centreville.Gen.Taliaferro occu- pied Manassas,ant made a show ofthro wing out heavy pickets towards the enewy,who was at Bristow station,on the Orange and Alexandria railroad,five miles distant in asouthwesterlydirection;but shortly afternightfall,calling io his pickets,he also fellbacktowardsOentreville,and took a position near Groveton,where he remained all night.His position was to the right of Gens HillandEwell,At dawn the next (Thursday) morning,oceasienal reports of cannon andmusketryberuntobeheardtowardstheleft,which were kept up at intervals ontil evening.

Gen.Taliaferro was struck three times in thebeginningoftheaction,in the foot,neck andarm.The two first were very shght,but the last a painful though not dangerous wound.The General continued in command until the close of the action,The wounded have all been removed tohospitalsestablishednearAldie,in the countyofLoudon. As our informants proceeded towards Al-die,on Friday morning,they heard tremen- dous eannonading in the direction of the bat-tle-field of the day before.Of the result ofthisfightandoftheoneonthesucceedingday,we know only through General Lee's two dispatches to tho President,which will be found in this day’s paper,in the proceed-ngs of the Senate.ince writing the above we learn that Maj.May,of the 12th Virginia,was killed,and Lieut.Col.Skinner,of the ist Virginia,mor- tally wounded.

The Bill reported by Mr.Miles to the House from its military commitive is more complicated aud less decisive.—Lts framers appear to have had the fear of Governor Brown before their eyes,and labored hard tu effect a general conscriptivy without awakening the question of State sove- reignty.Jt deckares “all persons”—we presume,itis Meant,al)men —between the ages of thirty-five and forty-five,liable to a military service of three years;and even yocs su far as to declare that no one who has been once enrolled shall be enutied to a discharge,because he may have passed the ageof forty five years before such term of service expires,The bill provides that the President shall require the Governors of the several Confederate States to enrol these nen and place them in camps of didate for Governor Is deteated,and the| |Umouists elected nearly every meinber of the Legislature.”|This is exactly what might have been |expected,being the inevitable conclusion |trom the assertions of the ,and other anti Vance papers in North Carolina. We all here at home know how utterly false that conclusion is;but the yankees have no such kuowledge,and are glad to believe the story manutactured fur their benefit by Col.Vance’s enemnies—we will not say by the friends of Lincoln,because we do not believe them to be so,though they have certainly thereby given aid and comfort to hin. The Wilmington Journal,we see,attri |butes this Northern misunderstanding of |North Carolina to the editorials of the Ra- leigh Standard.Bat the Yankee Major |did not say a word about the Standard, doubtless because he found nothing of the sort in that paper;but he did tind ot 10 an anti:Vance paper.We agree with the Journal in the following: “A second time is the enemy excited to idea that there is a Union element in North Carolina,which only requires fos- tering.What advantage will be taken of this at the North,and bow much it will strengthen the hands of the Lincoln ad- Ministration in ils war against the South, who can say?‘That tt will strengthen Lincoln to some extent there can be no doubt.” This is unfortunately true.It is the natural result of the teachings of the anti Vance papers.But the Journal goes on to say: “Justice to himself,to his State,to theCopfederaey,demands that Col.Vance,as Governor Vance,shovld cut loose altogeth- er from this destructive clique,and by a bold and manly course undo,as tar as is now possible,(he evil which has already resulted from its machinations—strengthen the spirit of the State and free her good name from the suspicion to which unseru- pulous demagogues have subjected her. Now Governor Vance—Governor elect —hos said as strongly as man can say, all that the staunchest North Caroliniancoulddesire,to show tbat “the first, the great,the absorbing purpose,”of bim- self,his friends,and the State,is “to beat back our invaders and establish the inde- pendence of this glorivuus Cuntederation of States,”adding the following stirring ap. peal:“Lwant you,apdI want all the people of the State,to aid ime with al/ |their energies,@//ther means,and all their confidence,in this mighty struggle, |unul the Oentederate States sball stand proudly among the bations,free and indejpendent.”Could mortal man desire a|more emphatie or even a more authorita- live expression of devobion to the cause of|the Confedermey than this?If avy one|does so desire,Jet him look for it in the enlisoment of Col.Vance as a private im|Inediately on hearing the news of Linooln’s|preparation to wage war upcp us.Letlimlookforitiobisenduranceofthepri-vauions of the camp for sixteen months.Let him look for it in the periling of hisiynthebattlesofNewbernandMalvernMl John Rosse,the velebrated Chief of the Cherokee Nation has been arrested by the Yankee troops.TheCherokeesareinalliancewiththeConfederacy. hope and stimulated to exertion by the| |such persons. lustruction.Butif the Governor of any State sball refuse or fail,for an unreasona- ble time,“to be determined by the Presi- dent,to comply with the said requisition,” then such persons of such States are made subject to all the provisions of the first couscriplion act,avd the President is re- quired to enforce the said proxision ayainst That is to say,we suppose, that the President nust proceed to enrol the conscripts by the agency of the Con- federate ofRcers in defanee of the Gov- ervors and State authorities,who shall not save their dignity in ine by the dvur of voluntary obedience. We fear that this contrivauce to recon- cile contradictory assumptions and appease the conflict of laws is more ingenious than promising of success.The call upon the States is an apparent recognition of their sule and sovereign right to levy troops; but itis an evident mockery,and,indeed, a mere farce,in view of the simultaneous declaration that of their action is pot vol- uotary,the cobseription is still compulsory, |Either the appeal to the States should have l been left out altogether,or,if made atall, st vould be regarded as final. Mr.Bonham,of South Carolina,has of: fered an amendment to this bill of the House,which has,like the bill of the Sen- ate,at least the merit of being consistent with itself.Mr.Bonham’s substituts au- thorizes the President to call oo the States for their quotas of three hundred thousaud troops to be compused of all white male residents of the Confederate States between the ages of thirty-five and,fosty-tive,not legally exempted,to serve for three years or forthe war,if the war js not sooner ended.The field and company officers are to be chosen as the State authorities may direct.These troops are to be onganized by the States,and,until called fur by the President,shall be assembled in camps of instruction fur six days in every six weeks, and allowed to remain at home when not in camp.‘They are,of course,to reeeive no pay from the Confederate government eptil called in active service. Thus Mr.Bonham’s substitute is ove thing;the Senate bill is another thing. The Senate billis framed in accord with the principles of the first Conscriptium Act: the substitute is intended to meet the ideas of those who regard it as a violation ot the constitution and an infringement ontherightsoftheStates.The bill reported by Mr.Miles is a well intended effort to reconcile the two;but we much fear that it will go the way that good intentions or dinarily pursue. Practically the question js of less im- portance than is generally supposed.So evident is the necessity for increasing the army,And so earnest is the desire of the country that the increase shall be made in time,any bill will obtain popular eonfir- mation and support.If the quotas were demanded of the States,there is no doubt but that the State governments,without an exception,woolid earnestly and sincere ly endeavor to rawe them.If the bill of the Senate becomes a law,there may be 4 show of resistance to it;but it would be merely a show,which would vanish before any new danger to our arms,All admit that we must have the troops.—Riehmond Examiner,4th.

Passengers who arrived by the Centralcarsyesterdayevening,bring the report ofa tight between Jackson and Wool,which was said to bave taken place near the Relay Louse.Unfortunately for the credibility of this story,its narrators al- leged it to have taken place on Saturday, When,according to the most liberal allow- ances for bis rapidity of movement,Gen.Jackson could scarcely have been fifty wiles from the point at which he forded the Potomac. THE YANKEES DRIVEN FROM WIL- LIAMSBURG, Otticial information was received here yesterday ofa brilliant exploit,performed by the cavalry of the Holcombe Legion, at Wilhamsburg,on Tuesday.On Tues- day morning our cavalry,three hundredandfiftyinnumber,attacked the Yankee cavalry,six hundred strong,in James City county,six miles this side of Wil- liamsburg.The Yankees fled on the first charge and were pursued into and throughthetown,and as far beyond as Fort Magruder.At this latter place the ene-my rallied,but again fled before the charge of our men,who pursued them several miles in the direction of Fortress Monroe.The enemy’s loss was thirty killed and ‘by one of our own men. |Withamsburg received our troops with great demoustratious of joy,the fadies -of the soldiers. |pariicipated in this caring and brilliant | _atfair are South Carolinians,the remainder9 jit bas intelhgence from the military and -roilroad authorities of the one hundred and twenty-six taken pris- \ —ee Atmong the prisoverd is the cows.| |pander.of the Yankee cavalry,who was alsotheMilitary Govertor of Williame-burg,and sixteen negroes.Our loss was three killed and five wounded.This cbas- tisement will,we feel confident,have the effect of mdding the Peninsula,a most loyal and devoted portion of Virginia,of the Yankee thieves and freebooters who have been infesting it since the evacuation of McClellan.It is only to be regretted that they have been so long allowed topillagethecountryandmaltreatthein sabitants with impunity. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. From participants in the engagement, who reached this city last night,we have learned some additional particulars.Our force,consisting of eight cavalry compan ies,under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel W.Pinckney Stringler,of the Holcombe Legion,started from Dispatch station,onthe York River railroad,last Monday evening,and after a fatiguing ride offorty tive miles,arrived near Wil- liamsburg about dawn,‘Tuesday mourning. The enemy’s pickets were driven in,and, without hesitation,our men charged into the town,where the fifth Pennsylvama cavalry,some six hundred strong,were drawn up to receive them,and a brief but spirited engayement took place in the main street,when the enemy fled,leaving a number of prisoners in our hands.The enemy ralhed below the town,but »sec- ond charge was made with drawn sabres, causing a hasty retreat towatds Fort Ma- gruder,our troops,meanwhile,using their carbines with good effect.At the Fort a third attempt was mnade to repel the at- tack,but another charge scattered the Yankees.who fled with preeipitation in the direction of Yorktown,pursued for some five miies “by our troops.Colonel Campbell—the Yankee military Governor | —Major Belcher,two Captains,| Lieutenants,and about a hundred were laken prisoners.Our troops,learn| ing that a dispatch had been sent to For-| tress Monroe tor reinforcements,burnt the | Several | men | Fenemy’s camp and a large quantity of) stures,but captured four pieces of artil lery,two stands of colours,sixteen runaway | Negroes,SIXly wayous and ambulances,and shortly after wards retired trom the town.

LATEST FROM THE NORTH. The Baltimore ulmerican of the Jast Saturday afternoon,the 6th instant,says Baltimore and Ohio railroad up to boon on that day, that rendered it certain that the reports of a‘rebel invasion of Maryland,”“which threw our citizens into such a state of ex- citement yesterday,”were entirely unfound- ed.There was yreat excitement “alony the river,”the people all believing the rebels bad crossed somewhere,and gone somewhere,but no one knew where. On Friday «portion of General Wool’s | staff went up trom Baltimore as far as the | Point of Rocks without encountering any | traces of the invaders,and returned report lug the “rumour of an invasion was un-| founded,and that the people bad put themselves into a state of excitement without reasonable cause.” further states that “General McClellan was providing a strong force for the protec- ton of all the fone between Washington and Harper's Ferry,and any attempt to cross would be warmly disputed andcloselycontestedbyFederaltroops.Above | Harper’s Ferry our forces are deemed fully adequate to every emergency likely | tu arise shortly,and General Wool is fully | posted with regard to all the movements in that direction.” The Baltimore and Ohio railroad,out of abundant caution,had suspended the op- erauions of their road east of Cumberland.| FROM MARYLAND. Since the grand army of Virginia crossed | the Potomac last Friday,nothing is authen-| tically known of their movements. It was reported in the city yesterday thatfromFredricktown,Maryland,a column was advancing on Harrisburg,Pennsylvania, while the main body had already reached the Relay House,nine miles from Baltimore.— But late last night no official information con-uae,of this ramor had been receivedere, Gentlemen who left Leesburg last Sunday,and reached this city yesterday evening,addnothingtothestockofourcertaininformation.At the time of their departure,it was rumor-ed at Leesburg that our army had marchedien 11s all that any body can ask in war. ! | || The American | :pass us, the day Bae town towanis the Ralgy -“were also Tomorg of a de q Ce meitumore on Saturday in whieh th OMe Marshal and severa} other Yankee officers were killed by the citi.zens.The occasionof the riot was said cohavebeentheattemptedremovalby‘the Federals of the Government stores from the city to prevent their falling into the hands ofouradvancingarmy. Since the above was written,we have an interview witha gentleman who left Bal-timore on Friday night last.At thetime ofhisdeparturegreatexcitementexistedincon.sequence of the rumored design of the goy. erpment to remove its stores to Philadelphia,This was construed by the Baltimoreang as a preparation to shell the city from Fort Mo-Henry,in ease it should be entered by the Southern army,and hence the excitement, It was believed that the Confederate cay. alry scouts had been on Friday seen at thereyHouse,and that to impede the Confed. erate advance,the viaduct over the Patapsco at that point had been blown up.It wasalsoreportedthatStewart's cavalry had pasg- ed to the east of Baltimore and bnrnt thebridgeoverBlackriver,thus cutting off rajl-road communication with Philadelphia.Ag. ter leaving Baltimore,our informant heard of the rumored riot,mentioned above,with theadditionalreportthatProvostMarshalVan- ostrand and his assistant McPhail,had beenhungbythepopulace.

The New York Times of Friday last,has a melancholy,but very truthtul editorial on the present aspect of Yankee affairs,We bespeak for it an attentive perusal: The Suminer campaign which was to have qiven us the rebel capital,has come to a dis- hastrous end.Richmond is releved,andWashingtoniabesieged.That magnificent army,organized and deified with so much ‘care by McClellau a year ago,repulsed first on the Pemmsula,has bee again repnised in its advance vpon Richmond tipm the North, Vand now seeks satety tor }torts which line the Potomae. behind the Disvutse it as we may,the Limon arms have been repeat- edly,diseracefully and decisively bLeaten.— The whole campaign against Ricbmond has proved a failure.The rebels have resumed the offensive,and have driven our troops back to the precise position they held alter”the batde of Bull Ron,more than oue year ago Onr Generals do not stem to be aware Whether they intend to attack us there,or push torward on some other line of operation. itselt ;One thing may be deemed certain—they will‘jug every possible attention upou the men,|not sit down in front of Washington aud at-termpt to reduce it by siege.They will either attempt a flank movement upon it,or what seems tous still more likely,they will pushapowerfulcolumndirectlyintoPennsylvania and strike a blow at the Union cause on loy- al soil. There is a class of public men who think it Inehly unwise to admit that we have suffec- ed any serious reverses.‘They bave copious explanations of the apparent checks our forceshavesustained,and abundant assurances that they are all to be redeemed in the im-mediate future.We regret that we cannot share their credulons confidence.All theirexplanationscannotchangethisfact,thatwhetherwehavemettherebels—whetherbehindanearthwork.asin front of Richmondorintheopenfield,as in tront of Washing-ton,—they have beaten us.Sometimes theyhaveoutflankedus:sometimes they havegotcompletelyintherearofeurforces;—sometimes they have thrown their wholeforceuponasingleweakpointofourlmeandsooverborneusbynumbers;--sometimestheyhavedrawnusintoanambuscade—but it matters not how,—the fact remainsthattheyhavebeatenus.And all that these various explanations amount tu is that their Generals are bolder and more skillful,andtheirarmiesmoreeffectivethanours.ThisAndit Is Worse than idle—it is childish and_idiotic to attempt to shut our eyes to the glaring and repulsive fact that thus far in the warttherebelshavethebestofthefighting.Thesoonerwereleaseouractnalcondition,thesoonershallwefindaremedyforit.What is the cause of these awful disasters?Not in avy lack of men,for our armies out-number the rebels two to one.Not in lackvfarms,of munition,of supplies,—of all themeansandappliancesofsuccessfulwar,—fornoarmyonthefaceoftheearthhaseverbeensolavishlysuppliedwithalltheseasours,Not in the goodness of the cause—nor in the spirit of the people—nor jin the valor and patience of our soldiers,for in all these respects we may challenge the world to sur-We are driven to the conclusion|that the rebel General have been superior to ours;that the rebel Government bas been better able to wield skillfully and suecessfully the weapons placed in its hands.Results at- ford the only test of military capacity.The |army that conquers is always the best.Largeorsmail,ragged or well-clad,hungry or full,armed or unarmed,the ariny that drives itsenemyoffthefieldisalwaysthebetterof the two.Our forces have been splendidlydrilled,admirably clothed and armed,andalwayssuppliedwithabundantfood;buttheyhavebeendefeated,and that fact over-rides all the others,and brands them as infe- rior.We all hope that all this is to be changed;but so we have been hoping for the wholeyearpast.The very next step was alwaystoturnthetide.We were to have “no moreBullRuns,”when McClellan took command.The enemy was to be “driven to the wall,”after he evacuated Yorktown.The army ofthePotomac;it was declared,‘shail’enter Richmond,after:ithad.auffered defeat »be- sam ovel ou, enti! rests all t man com wra the | inca gOVeE beca AG fault with time Ing| tl net | outé the | he v of ot have Ten mere ble, pot « the: spur TUEC men, Weal est p And with, ae lis the ; fo.U aud « a@ MON O by a large have Mary Inter folloy relial ond Pred Pres tHe of ot Ont the 1 Stra they they adva pent wlasti full ized CrOsSS fire t on th vader TOUN( read) Conte7 and ¢ enter the } office and 4 brine “= CeCCt (zene and( anu Cargo La 1s pus advan were trom thoug Where the y farine off ey citem will | Was } gone Great risbur For Nave to car would Ine th sale ir roent | C- r theent, Cav- |thenfed-apsco Waspass- |the rail-Af.ard ofhthe Van- been $en- »have lished @X- ented Lin- omac Ex- N has a yn the ‘peak have a dis- and ficent much first ed In orth, the it ag peat- ot has umied back ~the r ago ware Or ation. y will id at- ‘ther what usha vania L loy- ink it uflec- pious orces ANCes im- nnot their that ether pond ung- they havevsOe shole Ime imes es 1ains hese their and This nd it iotic ring war The the ters?

FOR THE LITTLE ONES, You see I’m buta little chap, "Bout three feet high or so, But look!I’ve got my trowsers on, And I intend to grow. The Ocean vast is made of drops, The Earth is made of grains, I meanto study and be great, My head is full of brains. Ca uown was oncea little boy, Upon his mother’s knee, I guess he too was often switched About his A B C. And soI firmly am resolved, With all my might to try Not only to be great,but good And so kind folks Good bye! For the Children’s Column, “Father is drinking 80 and behav- ing so badly that I have to go home.” So said a harmless,beautiful little girl tome as I met her near the eburch door one Sabbath morning. Her love for the Sunday School had called her to her accustomed seat when the bell rang,but ber fear for her feeble mother troubled her little heart,and she could not remain sat- isfied.Why would that father for- bid his dear daughter from enjoying the same pleasant privileges that other little children were enjoying? Acd there wasa painful sorrow shad- owing her young face,and an ex- pression of mingled shame and sad- ness in her sweet blue eye.Why would that father veil her gentle features in g!oom and dim that eye’s innocent lustre?Herstep was mea- sured and sad—her very carriage re- vealing the tronble that sat upon ber spirit.Oh!why should that father by his wickedness forbid his child to trip as tightly and as cheerily as other children in town?Does he not love his children as well as other parents love theirs?But her sad- ness and trouble as well other words she spoke to us,told of the sadness and trouble that was blighting the hopes and breaking the heart of an- other—that other,her own dear mo- ther.Alas!and is it true,that a man can become c0 debased,so ru- ined as to love the bottle better than he loves the bright-faced children whom God has given him?Is there more beauty to him in the sparkling glass than there is in the chubby cheeks and iaughing eyes of the ten- der babe that just begins to so sweet- ly lisp the name of Father?Is it possible that he will break his dear wife’s heart rather than break the cursed cup that is kindling the tires of hell in his soul?A drunken fa- ther !—a drunken husband!A man, a father,and a drunkard?A nan a husband,and yet a drunkard? “Tis strange—tis passing strange —’tis wondrous pitiful.”Yet such there are in this community.To their children let the world be kind and merciful,for they are most sad- ly unfortunate.Ile to whom they look with love and hope as their kindest earthly protector,is so bard- hearted that he curses them with the shame and pain and dread ca- lamity of a drunken father.Creat God!where is the love of the pa rent’s heart that will curse his own offspring for the sake of whiskey? of the parent’s and lusband’s mind, that will murder the peace and hap:| ko awfully Where is the reasou piness and prospects of his own chil-| dren—wither the cheek und bleed| and break the heart of his trusting companion,and sink his own soul into misery and destruction for the| sake of whiskey?| > GEMS OF THOUGHT. Jesus is the life of a believer’shopehereandthehopeofhislife| hereafter.Wemast be raisedfromthedeath of sin,life of glory,©.It is good to have God dwell with ue;but it will be far better when we dwell with God.It matters bus little who speaks il!of us in our day,if we but know thatGodwillspeakwellofusinthelast day.The Saviour “brings love in -hisheart,power in his arm,and pardon in his band.Our greatest glory consists not in never falling,but in rising every time we fall.It appeared odious when our first parents were driven out of paradise,when the old world was destroyed, and when the cities of the plain were consumed ;but in the cross of Christitisexceedinglysinful.There while Divine love appears in its brightest form,human depravity assumes itsdeepestdye. What a beautiful ornament is hu-mility!It has been represented asthestringthatbindstogetherallthe precioas pearls of the Christian yra- ces,and if it break they are all scat-tered. The man that lives forgettul of God,is in an awful sense without him,—a practical Atheist.He may startle at the charge,but it is true. Guard against pride as a thing unbecoming your character ;a dis- grace to your profession,a dishonor to your Saviour,a badge of Satan’s livery,a fruit of the flesh,and con-trary to the Spirit. on : For the Children’s Column.

Now.manyasilent tear,Willie, In loneliness I shed; My heart has lost its cheer,Willie, Since thou art with the dead. But though my tears may stream,Willie, They're doomed to stream in vain; Thy smile shall never beam,Willie To ghadden me again. But while thy prattling tongue,Willic, Is hushed on earth forever, It sings the Sacred Song,Willie, Beyond the mystic River, Upon thy sluniag brow,Willie, There gleams a crowu of gold, And thou art happy now,Willie, With happiness untold. And oh!how passing sweet,Willie, The hope by Mercy given, That we again may meet,Wille, And dwell tor aye in Heaven! A NEW COUNTERFEIT. The Augusta Chronicle,of Sunday, says:Another counterfeit Confederate note was exhibited to us yesterday morn- ing.It is of the ten dollar issue of Sep- tember 2,1861,printed in colors.The priucipal distinguishing mark is the filling the note.In the venuine,the filling up consists of the word “ten”in small letters frequently repeated—in the counterteit it is merely dots.The counterfeit’bas the words “Adrian Sharp,&e,,”on the Jower left hand’corner,oot on the genuine.— The red color of the counterfeit is paler than the genuine,the engraving is coarser, apparently on wood,while the genuine is a well fiuished steel plate. We learn that several persons have been arrested in Atlanta upon the suspicion of being concerned in the circulation of coun- terfeit notes.The Confederacy has the following in relation to their examination: THost Arrests.—They are quite nu- merous—something over a dozen persogs having been taken into custody.We hear that the developments are quite startling in their character.We consider itour duty in the present stage of the what we hear.We will also say that we do not.ofticially or certainly know.the nature of the charges or what has been developed.are mak- ing the investiyations and everything con- pected with the affair is very properly A board of officers withheld from the public.

Strange were killed.Gen.D.H.Hill wasroughlyhandled,but mauaged to hold the eneniy in check. From the fact that it is known in official circles here that D,H.Hill,was at Boonabo-ro’on Sunday,wd are enabled to state with contidence that the battle was begun at or near that town.Being situated at the baseofaspuroftheCatoctonMountains,and atthepointofintersectionofseveralpikesand county 1oads,it was regarded as a point ofgtealstrategicimportance,Sony in con-nection with the movement of Jackson uponHarper's Ferry.It is the opinion of military inev that the fight tuvk place exactly when and where Gen.Lee desired,and had pre-ar- ranged. **™¥*** Since writing the above,we have heard, us Coumng trom a source entitled ty somecredit,that Gen.Lee,several days previous eee :Ee ea crete uP TEa).

It could hardly be called a retreat;we push- ed them,as it were,from one elevation to |auother,gradually following them up and firmly holding the grouud they had been forced to abandon, In this way the contest continued until near sunset,the retrograde movement of the enemy growing more rapid and jess orderly as the battle proceeded.Jackson pressed forward vigorously on the left; Hill and Anderson did the same in the centre;and xs the fue retired faster in that part of the field than on the right, our line finally assumed somewbat the form of a crescent.

It is too early to enter into details,eith- eras to the part performed by individuals, or the extent of the victory.Every officer and man,from Gen.Lee down to the humblest private,with exceptions,too un-important to justify particular notice,per- formed his whole daty.But our triumphhowever,has been purchased at the cust of mueh preeious blood.Our loss has been heavy:not less I fear,than six or seven thousand.The casualties of the en- emy,including killed,wounded,and prob- ably fifteen hundied or two thousand pris- oners,will not fall much sbort of ten or twelve thousand men. The strategy of the enemy was clever, aud deserves attention.He had attacked Jackson on Friday,and was repulsed.He renewed the attack yesterday,and thussoughttocreate.the belief that his chief object was to turn ourleft.Having,as he supposed,produced this impression upon Gen.Lee,be suddenly precipitated uponourrightavervLeavyforce,including the oid United States Regulars and otherpickedtroops,under Fitz John PorterandHeintzleman.His objoct doubtless }wastoturn our right,throw us back against the Blue Ridge,keep open hiscommbicationsbytheAlexandriaandOr- ange railway,and with Fredericksburg, and his gun boats to the South,and thuscutusofffromthebaseofoursypplies.—The conception was excellent,but the exe- cution was faulty.Bee,Bartow,and others who fell on thisficldlastyear,have been amply avenged.

The rebellion is without the vestige of a navy,except a straggling ship or two, while ours in this war is equal to a land force of three or four hundred thousacd men.Our retolted States are nearly ex- hausted of the commonest articles of food, while we of the loval States have a super-| abundance of all the essentials and luxuries| of life.Our troops,en masse,are better armed,equipped and subsisted than those of any other nation,while those of the re- bellion are armed with all sorts of weapons, good,bad and Mdifferent,clothed in rags, fed upon half rations,and yet,advancing upon our borders,they threaten the tmva- sion of Ohio and Veunsylvania,and the occupation of our rational capital, From the evacuation of Corinth down to this day.our armies in almost every en: counter have been pushed back by theoverwhelmingforcesoftheenemy;and to now,while Washington is menace]by a great rebel army on both sides of the Potomac,the clothing stores aod pork houses of Cincinnati are threatened with a visit from the hungry and ragged battal- lions ofa rebel army column all the way from Tennessee.

FROM THE ENEMY'S LINES. We have had an opportunity recently of conversing with one who has been with- in the enemy’s lines since the evacuation ot Norfolk.Tt is indeed heart-sickening to listen to an account of the wrongs,pr vations,and insults,besides the robberyofproperty,to which the citizens thus sit- uated have had to submit.Nearly all the negroes have gone to the enemy’s camps; houses,barns,sinokchouses,chicken roosts, &c.,have been robbed,and indignity andinsultareheapedupontheownerswhile the vile thieves are stripping them of their property. But in the midst ofall this oppressionandwrong;very few have polluted their consciences by taking the infamous and hated oath of allegiance,or accepting a“parole.”for the protectionof their proper- ty and the security even of their families —as they promise,but notoriously disre-gard. Gen.Viele,the officer in command at Norfolk,ia spokenof as a gentlemanly kind of a man,especially to the ladies who visithirdforwredressofgrievancescommitted by his prowling,thieving soldiery.Out informant cites instances of restitution of some property,but no negroes are ever given up. the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouthandsurroundingcountry,are bold and do-fiant ia their necessary intercourse |with the Yankees—plainly telling them thattheirtimewillsooncome.od speed theday.—Spirit of the Age.

LATEST FROM NASHVILLE. A gentleman from Shelbyville,says the Chattanooga “Rebel”brings Nashvitle news up to Friday last.He says that Buell left Nashville some ten days ago with all his forceexceptThomas’division,in the direction of Bowling Green,but hes since returned to Nashville with all his forces,and commenced fortifying the city,having impressed all the negrocs in the county of Davidson for that purpose.The gentleman confirms the state- ment of the difficulty between Johnson and Buell.Well intormed persons believe that Buell’s fortifying Nashville is a ruse,and that he intends to retreat by way of the Tennes- see river. — HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM MA- RYLAND An officer of General Lee’s staff,who arrived n this city last evening,direct from Marvland, brings intelligence of an important and deeply interesting character.He reports a pitched battle on the soil of Muryland,in which the Confederates are said to have been again vic- torious.We give the report as it reaches us.On Sunday morning,the fourteenth instant, McClellan,with a force of eighty thousand mea,having passed Frederick,whether on the north or south is not stated,fell upon D H. Hill’s division.composing the rear of our ar- my at Boonsboro’.The attack was one of well sustained vigour and impetuosity,but Hi,although almost overborne by superior numbers,held his ground resolutely until night put an end tothe battle.At an early hour next morning,Longstreet came to Hill’s assis- tance,when an immediate combined attack wasmade on the forces of McClelland.The battle waslong,obstinate,and bloody,but re- sulted in the signal defeat of the Federale,who were driven back five miles from their position. The loss on both sides is said to have been very great.D.H.Hill’s division suffeted severe- hy,especially on Sunday,when alone it with- stood the onslaught of McClellan’s entire army.A‘last accounts General Jackson,af-ter having disposed of the Yankees at Har- per’s Ferry,was marching down the south bank of the Potomac,with the design of cross- ing into Maryland and falling upon McClellan’s rear.A greatand decisive battie is thought to be imminent. It is well to state that po official information, relative to this rumoured engagement,has been received here.The latest official advices trom General Lee are to the 13th instant,inclusive. FROM HARPER’S FERRY. The Lynchburg Repablican of yesterday svysit has “information ofa very authentic character,that a severe battle took place at Harper's Ferry,on last Sunday evening and Monday morning,between General}Jackson and the Yankees,which resulted tn the defeat of the latter,and the surrender of their army, numbering ten thousand men.”The Repuh- lican then goes on to give some particulars of the affair.From its account we make a sum- mary.The baitle was begun at three o'clock ou Sunday evening and raged with great fury till nightfall.Throughout the nightour cannon played upon the works of the enemy.At daylight,Monday morning,the combat was renewed and kept up with unabated violence until nine o’clock,A.M.,when General Miles, the Yankee commander,proposed to surrender. This proposition was of course acceded to,and our forces at once marcked irto and took pé@sses- sion of thesenemy’s works. The immediate and tangible fruits of thisvictoryarereportedtobetenthousandYan- kee prisoners,one thousand runaway negroes, fifty pieces of artillery and animmense amount of commissary and quartermaster stores: No estimate of the loss has as yet been made.Ours is known tc be heavy.The enemy’s loss itis believed,greatly exceeds ours.as he was, during the engagements both of Sunday and Monday,exposed to the deadly fire of onr can- bon stationed on the heights surrounding his position. General Samuel Garland,jr.,of Lynchburg, is reported among the killed. ({LatER.] A gentleman who arrived here last evening by the Central train reports,upon the authori- ty of Major Yost,ef Jackson’s army,that Har- per’s Ferry was surrenderedat discretion by the Yankeeson Sunday (Monday?)last.The number of prisoners taken is variously estima- ted at between eight and twelve thousand, while the number of stolen-and fugitive slaves recaptured is said to be much greater than hes yet been reported;being between fifteen hun-dred and two thousand. The body of General Samuel Garland,Jr.,of Lynehburg,who was killed'in the attack on this place,was brought to this city last evening. General Ricdard Garnet,is reported as having been killed,but whether at Harper’s Ferry orontheMarylandsidewehavebeenunableto- learn.No official information has been receive ed here of the capture of Harper's Ferry,which may be accounted for by the fact that General Jackson would report not direct to GeneralCooper,but to General Lee. Rich.Examiner o> A Frightful Accident.—We are pained to learn that as the Hon.Wm.S.Ashe, President of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad,was passing up the road to- wards his residence a few miles this side of Wilmington on a hand car,on Friday evening last about dark,he was met by the regular mail train from Goldsborough. The two others on the car jumped offandescapedinjury,but Mr.Ashe was thrown forward on the track,and dread- fully mangled.He died,we understand,on Sunday evening.—Hillsborough,Re- corder, No new cases of Yellow Fever bave been reported to-day.There seem to be no indications of the disease extendingitself,and there is mo ground for fright or anic.All the excitement will pass away mand.in 8 few days.—Wilmington Journal. ee eee ee eeierad =BTSERNFROMTHEARMYOFNQ.|VIRGINIA,| In the absence of any positive informa- tion on the subject,it is believed here,in official circles.that a successful movement ofa part of our army has been made on Harper's Ferry,and that the place and its garrison have been captured. Gentlemen who reached this city by the Central train last evening bring conflicting reports.A report which comes by wayof Staunton is to the effeet that after an ob- stinate engagement General Jackson,on Sunday last,succeeded in taking Harper’s Ferry and its garrison,but that large Yan- kee force,entrenched on the Maryland heights,still held out successfully against the attack of our army.On the contrary, a gentleman tells,upon the authority of the Provost Marshal at Gordonsville,that a courier had arrived at that place bring-ing the intelligence of the captare,by Gen- ern]Jackson,of the entire Yankee force inandaroundHarper’s Ferry,and also of a thousand runaway negroes.We think it certain that definite information will be re ceived from this quarter during to-day. Rich.Examiner. The capture of this place has been confirm- ed. FROM MARYLAND. We have been permitted to see a letter dated Frederick,September 12,written by Thomas J.Yarrington,of Union Springs. Alabama,a brother of the editor of theColumbus,Georgia,Sun.He says our ar- mv was cordially received at Frederick,and presented with a large drove of beeves by the citizens.The citizens had also presen- ted to General Jackson a splendid war horse.Nothing could exceed the enthu-siagm excited by ‘old Stonewall.”The people of Maryland are fully aroused,and their enthusiasm in the cause unbounded.Our army has daily access‘ons of strength by enlistments.

The Late Baitles.—The Lynchburg Virgin- ian learns through a letter from the Rev.WI A.Crocker,Supt.of the Army IntelligenceOffice,himself now at Gainesville,that the loss in killed in our recent battles will not ex- ceed 500,and the wounded (most of these slightly)reaches between 15 and 1,600.MrCrockerhaseveryfacilityforarrivingata correct estimate.He says that the great dis- parity between our loss and that of the Yan- kees is truly remarkable,and most astound- ing to the enemy.Tle says that between fif- ty and a hundred ambulances have been en- gaged day and nicht in removing the Yankee wonuded from Manassas,and np to Saturday last,3,000 wounded still remained on the field.Where Jackson fought on Friday the gronnd is coveyed four deep with Yankee slain,the slaughter there being the most ter-rible of the war.The very name of Jackson, he says,is a terror to the foe.Tle reports that our commissaries are buying abundance of stores in Maryland,and getting bacon fortencentsapound.He estimates the Yan- kee loss in killed and woundedat 12,000,and says that their whole army is utterly demor=; alized.They say that Pope is a coward,Mc- Dowell a traitor.and as for McClellan,they searcely venture an opinion now.They have lost confidence in their officers,and conceive a high opinion of ours. —)too Outrageous Cruelty.—Gen.Tilgb- man has delivered a epeech at Jack-son,Miss.,reciting the particulars of his treatment while a prisoner in the hands of the yankees.He said that Gen.Buckner and himself were thrown into a dungeon thirtyfeetunderground,and for fourmonthsandahalfwereexelndedfronthelightofday,and not per-initted to exchange a word with anylivingsonl.The day of reckoningforsuchbarbarityieatband.The General thonght that wewouldhavetatesan-sixmonths,the North being sick of thewar.o ee of io "me cai creased from these sources not N artas alone have in.

The Financial Condition of the Confederacy. We are enabled from papers before Congress to pre- pare a suceinct and interesting statement of the financia) condition of the country,and to enlighten the public as to the amount of our public debt;fts classes;the re.ceipts at the Treasury up to 1s:August ;and the proba- ble demands that will be made upon the resources of theSouthinviewofthecontinuanceofthewarandthe exigencies of the country arising therefrom,We distrib- ute this information under appropYiate heads. THE PUBLIC DEBT OF THE CONF‘DERACY. It is ascertained from official data,furnished by the Treasury Department,that the who.e expenditures of the Government from its commencement to the Ist of Au- gust last,amount to $847,272,068 85.It should be sta-ted,however,that five millions of the amount char, as expenditure,has been paid for the redemption of de- posit certificates,and the aggregate above stated is sub? ject to that abatement when considered in the light ofactualexpenses. The expenditures up to the fidst of August are as fol-lows : War Department $29°376,54946 Navy Department .14,605,7TT 86CivilandMiscellaneous.................13,766,508 43 $828,745,330 70 To which must be added outstanding requisitions upon the Treasury,upon which warrants are not yet issued,to the amount of $15,524,123 15;making the aggregate, as stated above ,$347 ,272,958,85.

FUNDS TO BE RAISED BY THE FIRST OF JANUARY. Tt is supposed the authority to issue general ewrrency notes must also be extended by Congress to meet the ap- propriations already made by it and not yet paid,aud also the further appropriations to be made.’The appropriations already made by Congress and no} drawn on the Ist of August,amount to $164,687,859 9% The estimates submitted by the various Departmenoftheadditionalsuppliesrequiredtomakegooddeficies- cies and to support the Government to Ist January nex, are as follows :For the War Department,............644,378,590 16SECUASCrereerateemeryores886,607 59 “Miscellaneous,...............102.899 BS $44,363,007 18 So that the whole amonnt of supplies requised to lat January presents alotalOf;.-2.2 epee ace ee ees $209,550,487 06 Congress is left to determine the best mode of raising this sum ;and as there seems little prospect of raising the money bya sale of bonds or stock.a resort togTrensury notes seems to be all that will be left to its discretion. INTEREST BEARING NOTES, The experiment of diminishing the quantity of circu-lation by interest-bearing notes and deposite on call,is suid to have been very successful,and is likely ta be en- largee asa relief from excess in the quality of the na- tional currency,which as it exceeds the usual business wants of the community,must be productive of highpriceswithoutrelationt@theactualvalueofthecur- reney.It is understood the interest notes,although current to acertain degree,have been generally withdrawn from circulation,on account of their value a»temporary !n- vestments.Most of them have been taken under the belief that the interest would be paid like other interest,and the Secretary of the Trensury has eneouraged this belief bya recommendation to Congress that the interest should be paid annually. PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER WAR TAX—PAYMERT OF THE STATES. It is supposed that Congress will be under the necessi-/ty of providiug another war tax.From the war tax re turns and from estimates as to such States as have not yet made comblete returns,this fund may be set down af seven hundred millions.6TheWarTaxhasbeenpaid by the several States a follows: North Qarolina, VAD scode.1006 Louisiana,...

If we consent,during the war,to obtain all our foreign commodities from the North,how wnch more freely will we consent to that course of trade after the war shall have ended.If foreign uations and for- eign inerchants see that the only av- enues to Southern markets are thro’Northern ports,they will continue to look with incredulity and distrust upon all projects for establishing a direct trade with our own ports.If they see proofs that eveu during a period of war,we are willing to de- rive our suppliesof foreign merchan- dise through the North,and that we cousent to degrade our currency to half its value in order to secnue these supplies,they will conclude,firstly, that the heavy investments of capi- tal requisite to the establishment of ‘direct lines of pachets to our ports wruld be hazatdons;and,secondly, thet our money is really no more valuable than we ourselves estimate | it to be. Smuggling is an evil that hasgrowntoimménseproportions,and which ought to be abated.It has “been the chief cause of the debase-| ment of our currency.It has been | the means of discouraging all enter- prises in foreign ports for running| the blockade.Itexhanusts the Southofvastquantitiesofspecie,and if:not prevented,it is sure to establish |a permanent depreciation of ourcurrencyatone-half the value of the |depreciated currency of the Yan-' ‘kees.More thaa all,it fixes our, chabits of trade,and est:blishes the, channels of commerce for the future ; aud when this war shall end,will;leave us dependent upon the’North ; in onr finances and commerce as we| wert under the old Union. At present’the most palpable ef- fect of the smuggling system is the| ‘depreciation of our currency to one-| half the value of the worthless cur-|rency of the Yankees.After all, that has been said in this journal on the subject,it is needless to adduce | proofs of the fact that the Confeder- ate debt is as safe a security as any in the world,and that Confederate eurrency being convertible at any itnoment into Confederate bonds,are ‘with a per centage approximatingitheparofspecie.If we do not al- ‘low the North to fix the valne of oar public paper,it will command par prices after the war,in Europeanmoneytatkets;compared withthedebtoftheNorthitisworthintrinsicallytwoorthreeorfourtooue. four times as great as the Soathern.Northern war expenditares are on asealethreeorfourtimesasextrava-gant as the Soathern ;vo that every‘additional week that war is prolong:ed increases the disparity betweenthesolvencyoftheNorthandthatoftheSouth.The monopoly posses-sed by the South of two or three ofthegreatstapleswhichlieatthebasisofallcommerce,gives her acontrolofspeciefandsandofcred-its which renders the managementofadebtpeculiarlyeasyandprac,ticable,Thiy day the public cnr. | i _rency of the Confederacy is intrin- ‘at the end of the war.

The further information which we publish to-day,will in great degree remove these unpleasant impress- ions.We think it nearly certain that,General Lee and the nerve of his army are still in Maryland and ressing upon McClellan.The in- Sant who stated that his whole army had crosed the river were pro- bably sincere in their statements; they were connected with a portion of the army wtich actually did cross, from a oew pursuit of McClellan and an engagement with his army afteranaffairlikethatofWednesday.—Whatever their material ‘condition,the morale of the Northern troops cannot now be otherwise than com-pletely shattered.Nothing so breaks the heart of men and armies as the failure of a final effort,made with all force,to sever the links ina chainofmisfortune.If,then,Gen.Lee is indeed in pursuit of MeClelian,and has fallen on him again Fridy,as is story of the result wifh inmost justifi-able and reasonable hope.—/ich- mond Hraminer.

Approaching,near one of the hatte- ries immediately in our front,the Infantry fled,and the Artillerymen limbered up and put off at the speed of their horses.Not wishing to per mit such a prize to escape,the color bearer and one or two others gave the horses a race.Coming up with the gun,they shot one of the horses, which put a stop to the race.Serg.

The late events on the Potomac,since the capture ofHarper’s Ferry,maybe¢tated thus:On Tuesday the 16th,Lee,whose forces were concen-trating at Sharpsburg,was confronted by McClellan,who had followed him from ‘Boonesboro’the day before.Onluesdayevening«light and harmless cannonade ocour red,lasting.few hours,On the next dag the great bat- tle of Sharpsburg was fought,eee night.SemeofGen.Lee's forces arrived dating the action,a portion of them at an advanced hour.The close of the battleleftusinpossegsionofthefield;and on the next morn-ing it was discovered that McClellan had retreated. Gen.Lee held the field all day Thursday,caring forthe wounded and the dead.He then crossed the Potomac, which was only about two miles distant,and took popi- tien at or near Shepherdstown,We think he thus mov-ed nearly or quite his whole army.A The (reneral of the enemy,ascertaining his withdrawal to the syath side,began what they called their pursuit. Perhaps deceived to some extent by the stories withwhichtheydeceivetheirpeuple,they even ventured tothrowoveraforceof10,000 men to prers the flight ofthe*disorganized”Codfederates.How this expeditionfared,on Sunday last,she swift,sudden and severe chas-tisement at Boteler’s will,by Jackson,tells.Gen.Lee’s present position we do not know—whetherheigstillonthesouthsideorwhetherhehasre-crossedhisarmytotheother.But he has his plans,and him-yelf and his army,crowned with the fame of new exploitsareinthehighestspirits.We will not even guess at hisplans,lest it might suggest the tight idea to the enemy.But surely Gen.Lee can be cheerfully trusted to man-age the vperations confided to him.That he will do thistyhebestadvantage,from the campaign on the Chick-thominy to this hour.His plans have been admirablyconceived—admirably conceated from the enemy,anddinirablyexecuted.To the cnemy he must seem like aross-eyed man,never striking where he seems to bevohing.Les our people,therefore,be composed and patient andcheerfal.Rgereats are often simulated.‘They are hike‘he crouch before the spring of the lion.They may beouttherunningstartoftheleaper.Let ux be confiding where confidence hus been so well earned,$0 long as(eu.Lee is cheerful and content,and his army in good |~pirls,We shall see in these facts abundant reasonwhyweshouldbesolikewise.

We give this as we heard it fromgentlemenwhohappenedtobepres- ent.Such a course on the part of Gov.Vance will increase his holdontheconfidenceofthepeople.His face is inflexibly set,not only against unauthorized assumptions of power by the military,but-against every thing desiyned or intended to crip- ple the Southern cause.He believes that we can achieve liberty in the contest now going on with our Nor- thern foes,and at the same time preserve it intact among ourselves. —fal.Standard.

Cuare- fully save seed of all valuable sorts Corn may be cat up aud saved, as directed iu our last number, page 130. Winter Oats, Rye, Barley, Clover and Lucerne, may be sown the lat ter part of September, or early in October. Turuips, for a fall crop, must now be sown, without delav.

We have, | geuerally, a fine prospect for a darge | crop, but we will not have too much | to supply var own wants and the | army. Do not waste « grain, or| fling it out carelessly to your stock, | ut this time of need. Husband it! carefully—feed generously and plen-, tifully, bat not thoughtlessly or, wastefully, In this connection, we | cannot tuv strongly urge the econo- | my of using machines for cracking | both cyru and cob, Feed cutters | tor rough forage will also be found economical. Forage.—Iu addition to the Corn- stalk and drilled Fodder spoken’ of in our last, (page 1380) Sweet Potato | vines and tops of Pindars take a_ tolerable reagh ‘teraye, if cut and cured before they begin to wither. All Crab (or Crop) Grass, Crowfoot | and other Grasses, ust be cut when in blossom, and carefully cured, with as little exposure to the sun as possible, to be of any value for | hay. The dried up and withered grass often pulled tor hay, late in| the season, is almost valueless. . Wetland may now be drained, | wouodlands prepared for pasturage, | weeds and brush yratbed up, de. Wec., as directed heretotore. _ Winter Forage.—Ava green crop, | try Wheat, sown thick in three foot | drills, ou deeply plowed auc rich | land. It will give your animals! green food wearly all winter. and | bear repeated cuiting, Sow, also, | “Stantord’s Wild Oat,” the “Terrell | Grass,” &. Tuk Garpkew.—Turvips, of all kinds, if not already sown, must be putin without delay. (See direc- tions in July and Angust rombers 10 regard ft » «od uther gardgn- Ing operations.) Strawberry Beus may be prepared and the plante set out any time dur- ing the fall. A eool moist soil, rich In veyetable tnatter, suits this fruit best in our sultry climate. Spade or trench-plow the ground as deeply a8 possible, turning under a plenti- fal supply of ewampt muck, decorn- posed leaves, wood ashes, pulverized charcoal, and a litthe well rotted stable manure. Harrow or rake the surface until it is perfectly fine and even, and set your plants in 8 foot rows, 18 to 24 inches in the row. hen the plants are well rooted, ‘cover the entire surface of the grotnd with partially decomposed torest leaves, only permitting the Plants to be exposed. By this meth- od, with an occasional watering next summer, in dry weather, (and the proper selection of varieties) this delicious and healthy fruit may be ( ee re ee ‘and saved. /yin and pack a single pound of cot- ‘have known good crops made after ‘protection from the frost, they will 18 toh oantiong ‘in the year, for family use and for market It is, in all respeeta, one of our most attractive aud profitable trnit crops, and we hope it will re- ceive increased attention hereafter, For hardiness and productiveness, plant Welaon’s Albany. For tine flavur, the Black Prince is unetr- passed. Longworth’s Prolific, Jenny Lind, &c., are also desirable varie: ties. ! Sweet vtatocs.—This crop may | be duy the hatter part: of October, or as soot as the vines are wilted by the first frost. A guuteioperary | xives us the following indication | of the ripeness or maturity of the. Sweet Potato: . Pull several pota- toes from different: parts of your | patel, break them aud give them | tine todry, and if the fresh broken | parts dry over perfectly white, the! potaty is ripe and should be dag.— | But if of a darkish Lue, the potato is not ripe and should be icft to ripen. Lf dug when ripe, they will, keeps if nut, will ret? Pot up| your Potatoes in émall thanks’ (25 | tu 80 bushels) and reject all cat or) bruised roots. See, also, that they are pertectly dry before banking. Let the foundation of the banks be 12 or 13 inches bigher thao the surronnding surface; on an eleva: | tion where water will uut settle or | stand, Egyptian and other Wintgr Oats, Rive, Barley, Clover, Lucerne and otwer hardy grasses, should be sown at once. Plow deep, pulverize finely and manure heavily for all these crops, if you desire proper remu- meration for your lobor. Hay.—The abundant grass now tu be found in the corn fields and meadows should be careful.y cured Hay is now worth at least 50 per tun, and will probably be scarcer and higher sv soon as winter sets in. Now we can cut and cure ten pounds of Hay wore cheaply thay we can prow, gather, | | | | ton. day, too, will tind a ready market for cash, in our cities, and the @riny will need vast quantities. Then cut all the grass in your flelds su soon as the weather has become ‘settled, cure if well and store’ it away inadry place. Many varieties of Dative yrasses in fence corners and remote places, where it cannot be cut, may be worth pulling, to eke out winter supplies. Bit do not allow the grass to dry up and be- come worthless before gathering. Turnips.—It is late for tield crops of Turnips; but, if your early sow- ings have failed, try again. We the firet of October. Bring your growing Turnips to a proper stand, and keep the ground clean and open, . Pumpkins should be gathered as soon as ripe and stored on well aired ecaffoldg or tier of rails, one above the other, so far apart that the layers of ppmpkins cannot touch or rest upon each other. Put up in this way, with a slight covering or keep nearly all winter. Thereshould be a water-tight roof over the scaf folds, and straw may be used asa protection from frost. Placed ina heap or pile, pumpkins soon decay and become worthless. Before feed- | ing to your stock, they should be boiled up, with a sprinkling of meal oc bran. Hedyes of Osage Orange, Chero- kee and Macartney Rose, Honey Locust, Evergreen ‘Thorn, (Cratogus Pyracantha) Pyrus Japonica, &c., dtc., may be set out the latter part of October, or as soon as the leaves of deciduons trees fal!. The Garden.—Sow Cabbage, Tur- nips, Parsnips, Carrots, Lettuce, Ra- dishes, &c., &c. Prepare a bed in such a way that it can be protected agaiust frost. The safest way of do- ing itis by excavating it one foot below the general surface, and sur- rounding it with planks.

Dorine the present high prices of | Sugar and Syrup, the following ar: | ticle from an old number of the Ten- nessee State Agricullurists, may be of interest: to many of our readers: Gentlemen—Believing that Inanufacture of cornstalk sugar and molasses is forthwith susceptible of being made a matter of the greatest | importance, it is deemed expedient te enter into details that) perhaps | will be considered unneccessarily minute by some who are not yet aj prised of its great value. During the last season, I made rather over 100 yallons—equivalent to a hogs head of sugar. This quantity could have been extended tu eight or ten barrels, if'a sufficient supply of stalks had been provided ; for, by planting the corn at various times, the molas- ses season can be prolonged from July to October. Four or five oth- er tnilis were in operation in this re- gion during the past summer, at which a considerable quantity was made. Now what bas been accom. plished by a few individuals can be done by every farmer in the State; and if this should prove the case, it /is evident that no trivial revolutions in its commercial transactions would be the result. Assuredly it is as ab- surb for a farmer to purchase sugar and molasses, as it would be to im port his soft soap, candles, or any other article of ordinary domestic production.

One gallon of such syrup is equiv- ‘alent to ten pounds of brown sugar, for any of the purposes for which that article is commonly — used. Stalks from which ‘the ears Have been pulled in the embryo state, will afford one-fourth more syrup than all those ou which the ears have been pernitted to arrive at their full i growth. Small stalks will) yield ‘about the same quantity of juice as i large ones; that is, the product of a “given weight of either will be about the same. Large stalks, however, lare preferable to sinall ones, as it re- quires bearly as inuch time to strip band prepare for the mill, the latter, fas the tormer.

[tis probable that the Anflnence of, prejndice, will, for aweine time, prevent.a general anbstitation of corn stalk sugar and molasses, for the corresponding article of Lonis- jana and the West Indies ; for there is something repulsive in the idea that a product of common corn-stalke (an article with which we have been 80 familiar from our infancy) should come in competition with a similar one of the far-famed snyar cane, that comes from 80 great a distance, and costs so much. . [We give this short article for the benefit of such of onr readere as may not have the Chinese Sngar Cane, which, of course, is vastly enperior to the Corn Stalk, as a syrup and sugar producing plant.

The stem of the middle roller should be 12 or 13 inches in diameter, and 5 or 6 feet tong; the neck to be received in a correspon- ding hole in a transverse beam, rest- ing on two posts about 25 leet asun- der. This arrangement will cause the mill to run more equally than if there was no support above. There should also be some contrivance of keys and wedges, with which to ad- just the outside to the middle roller. This, however, must be left to the ingenuity of the builder of the mill, as it cannot easily be made intelli- gible on paper. For the sake of con- venience, it may be proper to assign to the corn stalk two stages in its growth, as the most suitable for ma- king molasses and sugar, to wit: Ast. When justin roasting ears. 2d. When it has passed out of roasting- ear stage, and become too hard for cooking, and thence to the com— mencement of fodder pulling. The syrap made from the stalke during the first or roasting-ear stage, if boil- ed moderatelythick, will very much resemble boney, both in appearance and taste. In the second stage, (which I consider, on the whole, the roper one,) or when the corn has Psnate te bard for cooking, the that is required in one of the ordin- ary depth.

Itis all important that the juice be pressed out and set to doil- ing as speedily as possible after the stalks are cut.. Not more than two hours should elapse before this 18 done; for if the stalks are permitted to lie, or the juice to stand longer than the time mentioned, fermenta- tion will commence, and infallibly injure the quality of the molasses. As soon asa sutticient quantity of nice is received from the unill, it should be allowed to stand a few mintites for the coarser particles to subside, and then strained throngh a coarse cloth, and a tablespoonful and a half of clear lime water be ad ded to each gallon of juice, and then poured into the kettle, and carefully watched and skimmed during the whole process of boiling. When iron pots or kettles are néed, it is absolutely necessary that they be entirely free from rust, as the small- est portion of this would impart a dark color, and furiginous tagte to the syrap, and aleo a dusky hue to coffee, when used in that way.

[From the New York Times.] There has been no more important and far-reaching document ever issued since the fouudation of this Government than this proclamation of President Lincoln.— The wisdom of the step taken--we refer at present to that clause in the document which declares free the slaves of rebel States after the first of January—is un vestionable ; its cecessity indisputable.— t hes been declared time and again by President Linogla that as soon as this step becomes a necessity he should adopt it.— Ite jou now is not a confession that the millitary means of suppressing the great sabellion have proved a failure, but | amaply @iat ‘wa tt ‘which any other legitimate » calted in shall aleo be availed is an alament ef strength to the rebels if wa om te re aa’ destructi ‘them and heir cause, when we make such use of it and its vic- tims as lies in our power. From now till the first of January —the day when this proclamation will take ef fect—is little over three months, What inay happen between now and then, 10 the progress of the war, it is hard to say. We earnestly bope, however, that by that time’the rebelhun will be put down by the military band, and that the terrible elemeut of slave insurrectiun may wot be invoked. It by that day the rebel army be overthrown, ang their capitol captured, and if the slaveholding revels sull prove inalignant, irrepressible, and, as in the Southwest, disuryanizers aud marauders, Useo tet that which Vice President Stephens called the corner stone of the Southern Contederacy be knocked froin under it, and see whether the whole fabre of rebel- how will wut vecessarilly tumble tu the yreund.

We are permitted to give our rea: ders the following highly interesting letter, written by a wounded otticer ofthe 2d N. C. Regiment to his wife and mother, dated Charleston, Va.. Sept. Qlet.—V. C. Standard. “We lett our camp, near Frederick City, cn Wednesday morning the 10th inst.and mateh- ed through the eiy im the directivn of Ha- gerstown, As we passed through the city, a respectable show of favor was exhibited to us by the lady secessionists of the burg, but it | Was not very large, and it had the appearance of cordiality mixed with a lively fear of the consequences. We marched all day over a | beautiful mountain turnpike that, at times, gave us beautiful views of the scenery, and encamped at night at the South Mountain Gap, of the Blue Ridge, having passed through during the day, several little villages that lay ; hesded down among the valleys, the largest being Middletown, a village of perhaps 1,000 inhabitants, who showed by their sigas, that they were, for the greater part, hostile to our Cause, Little did I think, as I stood that night, on picket duty on the mountian, that in a few , short days a battle would be fought on the | very spot I then stood on. I had a beautitul | View of sunrise froin the top of the mountain ; the next morning, but was too sleepy to ap- | preciate it, Soon we were again in line and | trudged over the mountain gap and then | down into the Allegany valley, the tops of whose mountains could be sean away to the | westward. We passed through several villa- | ges that day, also through the town of Boones- | borough, one of the oldest places in Maryland, , and encamped for the night in four miles of | Hagerstown, in a beautiful oak grove. Here we rested on Friday and Saturday, the first two days rest we had since leaving Richmond. Thad a good opportunity, while there, to as- certain the sentiment of the people, two thirds of whom I found hostile to us. Indeed, but few families did I find but had brothers or sons in the Yankee army. Here our army split, Longstreet, with three divisions, went in the direction of Williamsport on Saturday; McLaw’g and Sones’ Divisions went towards Harper's Ferry, while we, D. H. Hill's, re- mained. Saturday night we were called tv arins soon after we had lain down, and away we put back agairthrough Boonesboro’ and by daylight were on the top of South Moun- tain Gap, aud were soun drawn up in line of battle on the two mountains to the right and lett of the road, fronting in the direction of Middletown, where the day before, our cav- alry had a sbarp tight with the enemy, and bad reported the cuemy as advancing in full force with a columu of 20,000 men. South Mountain is on the South side of the road, aad isentirely wooded. North Mountain, on the North side of the road, is more or less vpen, being, for the most part, farmed, away Mu the distance we could see the long lines of the enemy approaching, looking like long crooked black shadows slowly moving to- wards us. As small as our force was, Gar- land's Ripley's and Anderson's Brigades, (Khodes, was not there,) we drew up to meet them. Garland was put away over in. the woods on South: Mountain, Ripley to the lett ou North Mountain, while we, of Anderson's Brigade, held the Gap road or centre. Ar- tillery Was put in position, and, by sunrise, the reverberation of its thunder went rolling up over the cliffs, The euemy also opened, and a sharp artillery duel was kept up for an hour. Very soon the rattle of musketry is heard from the woods on the right ; Garland 18 engaged on the right with the enemy, and We on the left and centre stand in eager ex- pectation of being attacked also, slthough no signs of the enemy can be seen over the clear- ed fields of the left. In halfen hour cheers ere heard, and as we stand awaiting an at- tack ourselves, we eargerly strain our eats to see if we can disti whether the cheers’ come from friend of foe.” (Thére is a differ. ence between Yankee cheers and’ our own; the Yankee cheer is “ Husea! Huzza!” in ‘mor Our he “Gro ‘ as we becume convioved that the cheers em- anate from Yankee throats. The firing con- tinues, and a canopy of smoke hangs over the woods in the vicinity of the place from which the sound of musketry proceeds. Stull) we are notattacked, and [ think T can perceive in the face ot Hilla gleam of thought that the enetny bave thrown their whole force on our right flank, The men become _Testless and uneasy, and the light of battle is seen in ev- ery face, But here comes one of Garland’s aids, galloping furiously —" General, sends us reinforcements—we are falling back, and the enemy are pressing us hard in heavy foree.’” “General Anderson, hurry your brigade to Garland’s assistance,” and we are faced to the right, and away we go up the side of the mountain ata double quick. We pass luts of wounded limping down the moun- tain, trickling blood at every step, then again a stretcher containing some more despeately wounded, and as | bend over oue, I catch the pale face of the gallant Garland, who Is being carried down desperately wounded in the breast. He died betore he reached a sur- geon. He was killed on the first charge ot ihe enemy, while gallantly rallying bis sven before their superior force. We soon come up with the brigade, just getting in positoin betund a lence that sur- rounds a small mountain farm. We take positien on their left and await the enemy. Soon we see them coming, up Cn our front, and our right opens on them: Bullets whiz trom the front, and soon gome heavy volleys on our night flank. The enemy bave attack- edus in trontand on the right at the same time. Garland’s brigade swings around to the rear, through the woods in order to. face the flank lire, while we keep up a continuous one tn trout, and drive the enemy back beyond rauge. The enemy still press our right flank, and Garland’s brigade alter desperate fighting against heavy odds, falls back slowly through the woods, and exposes our right. An order is given for us to move to the left, as the en- einy are trying to gain our left as well as our right, We move to the left through a heavy fire, men falling at every few steps. The fir- ing ceases, Our regiments are ayain formed into line of battle, facing up the mountain, ; and betore the enemy are prepared for us, we attack him, and drive lim back; bat the lanrel is so thiek and our foree so small that our commanders are afraid to let us penetrate their nes too far. Soon we are reinforced by Ripley’s brigade, who are put on the left, and making a left wheel of the whole line up the sides of the Mountain, we drive the ene- my step by step up to the top of the. ridge. and with a vell we dash to the open plateau of a few acres that are there cultivated. but as we emerge trom the cover of the woods, like a thunderbolt from a clondles sky, comes the booming of cannun, and the whole earth in front of us seems torn up by grape and canister. some disorder, and we retreat down the moun- tain, unpursued, to reform. The sun is now but an hour high. Hill’s little division has kept the enemy in check all day, and we are again preparing to make another attack, when Jones’ division of Longstreet’s corps arrives, and gladly do we hear the order given for us to retire, Jones’ division fought the enemy tll about 9 o'clock, when finding thet strong- ly posted on the top of the ridge, in heavy force, it retired to a position with us, near Boonesboro’, where we lay on onr arths till near dawn, when an order was given to give the Gap up, and fall back to the Potomac tiver. We have full one-fourth of our divis- ion killed, wounded and missing among the woods on that mountain. The word “miss- ing” means—those whv are not known to be killed or wounded, but are not present. At 4 o'clock, on Monday morning, we take up our line of mareh. We had hardly gone four or five miles before the news reaches us that the enemy are pursuing. Our wagaens are endan- gered, The coluinn forms a line of battle on the first line of hi'ls that run diagonally to the road, and our wagons move on to the front. This causes the enemy to halt, and form in battle array, and while they are disposing of their forces to the best advantage for attack, we quietly move off by the flank to the next sue- cession of bills, and thus continue onr retreat until we arrived on the South side of a small creek in the vicinity of Sharpsburg, three miles from the river. Here we formed a junetion with Lougstrect’s corpa, (who also had been fighting all day long on Sunday, on another Monntain farther Sonth,) formed a line of battle and determined to make a stand. Bat the enemy was wary, and though ma- king demonstrations, did not dare to cross the creek, which remained the dividing lme be- tween us until Wednesday morning. We threw out skirmishers to the creek bank, placod our artillery in position, and though degultory fighting between pickets was cun- tinuous, and not an hour passed bot the booming of cannon and the whiz of shell gra- ted on the car, we ate, slept and stood in line of battle through the long hours of Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night. Tues- day, one division of Jackson's vietorious corps joined us. They had, white we vere fighting on South Mountain, Sunday, been busily fighting near Harper's Ferry, and suc- ceeded on Monday evening in capturing the Whole garrison of 13,000 Yankees, 15,000 stand of arms, and abont 90 of the moat imn- proved pieces of field artillery, together with a large lot of ammunition, clothing, shoes, and horses and wagons. I have geen adl the cap- tured articles myself, Our line of battle was now formed anew. Jackson's toope were puton the right; D, H. Hill's im the eentre, and Longstrect’s on the left, faring the erevk, with their backs towards the Potomec. All day long Tuesday we could see heavy eokumns of Yankees arriving in front of our lines, and I felt that the crisis was near. At day-light oy Wednesday morning, we were awakened by heavy artillery and nousket firing on odr left, and each man was ordered to hi ; Desperate and heavy does it roll from the left, and sound seems to come nearer. Soon we see the wounded come limping towards us, ahd they oo enemy has attacked our artillery is retreating, and We are strain- ing our eyes in the direction of the retreating) dust!

Quickly = ls faced to the left, marched. th ha growin, field of corn, and then to left. in 8 long Jane that runs paralel to our left flank Our whole division takes tion in the lane —Ripley on the extreme Cie, Garleed'e next Rhodes’ next, and Anderson's on the right Away goes Longstreet's retreating line to our rear. : : In a few moments I could see_the advanc- ing line of Yankees.’ Three heavy, are approaching us, extending to the right and left as faras we can see, each column about 100 yards behind the other, and the Nearest scarce 400 yards distant, To this, was Hill's weak Jittle division, scarce one-fourth as large, wand my very heart sunk within me, as I heard Gen. Anderson say to one of his aids to hurry to: the rear and tell Gen. Hill for God's sake to send us reintorce- ments, as it was hopeless to contend aguinst the appsyfching columns. Tt was now about 8 u'clovk. The battle bad begun also on the right of our first’ position, and Jackson was hotly engaged. Sharp-shooters were sent about 60 yards to the front of us, and our line ordered to lie down in the lane, and hold their fire til the enemy was close to us. [ stood near Col. Tew on the erest of a hill iu trout of our position, and gazed with tu- multuous emotion over the fast a proaching hne. Our little corps seemed doomed to destruction, but not an eye flinched, nor a nerve quivered, and you could observe the battle-light of determination on every coun- tenance, and I then felt sure we would do honor to our noble old State that day, though we would not live to see itagain. On moved the columns, until T could distinguish the stars on their flaunting banners, see the mounted officers, and hear their words of command. Just then, a Yankee horseman waved his hat us, and Col. Tew returned the compliment. [Lt was the Jast Isaw of the Colonel. Our skirmishers began to fire on the advancing line, and we returned to ours. Slowly they approach up the hill, and slowly our skirmishers retire before them, firing as they came. Our skirmishers are ordered to comme tito the line. Here they are, right be- lore us, scarce 50 yards off, but as:f with one feeling, our whole line pear a deadly volley into their ranks—they drop, reel, stag- ger, and back their first line goes beyond the crest of the hill Our men re-load, and await for them to again approach, while the first columu of the enemy meet the second, rally and move forward again. They imneet with the same reception, and back again they go, to come back when met by their third line. Here they all come. You can see their mounted riders cheering them on, aod with w sickly * bazza!’ they again ap- proach us ata charge, but another volley sends their whole hne reeling back. They then approach the top of the bill, eantiously, Our exhausted column falls back in feand lying down, we pour into each other one contipueus shower of leaden hait for four long mortal hours. The whole air resounds with the din of arms. Musket, rife, cannon and shell pour forth an avalanche of Jead and iron. Our men are protected by about 6 or 8 inches of the wear of the road, but that is great protection ; they fire cautionsly, avi are apparently as cool as if shooting ut squir- rels, taking sure aim) every fire. The pro- tecuion, bowever, is pot sufficient. The ai- is full of lead, and srany are shot as they are aiming at the enemy, and the groans of the wounded are heard amd the roar of the musketry. Col. Tew was killed about 11 o'clock, a minnie ball pevetratiag bis brain. [cis certain death to leave the read, wound- ed, as the balls fly so thick over us—We hear reinturcements coming op behind us, but the fire is so hot they were not able tc come to our succor apd were foreed to fall back. Our number is perceptibly reduced by deatbs and wounds, and our fire: slackens, while the enemy bas succeeded in planting a battery that rakes the road, and sends many tu eternity at every discharge. Our left has given away, and the enemy has already crossed the lane im our rear. At last, the order is given to fall back, and the few that remain uninjured tall sulleuly back. The enemy, however, have been so badly punish- ed, they are not able to follow us inmmedi- ately. We rally behind a stone feace, and await their approach, the whole division hardly making a respectable regiment.— Reintorcements arrive, the enemy approach, but fall back in disorder before a fire from behind the wall, that fairly melted their rauks. Then retrent is followed up by the: fresh troops of A. P. Hill, who have just arrived, and when night sets in the enemy is whip- ped three miles from the battlefield on the lett, while the receding fire that blazes hor- nbly from the right indicates that on the right too the enemy are sullenly retreating betore the invincible forces of Jackson. The day is ours, but dearly won. Six to eight thonsand of our brave boys lay around dead or wounded in that day's fray, while the ground is made blue by voce Carcasses.— They left fully 4,000 dead on the field. Their wounded must be immense. Our regiment brought only 100 out of the fight, just one- third it carned in, while other regiments suf- tered worse. The next morning the Yankges sept in > flag, asking permission to bery their dead, and all that day was devoted to that purpose, and to taking care of the wounded, who are now ‘hospitaled at Sharpsburg, Md., Har- per’s Ferry, Charlestown, Winchester, and throughout the epuntry, on the Virginiat side of the Potomac. Rach army was so disor- ganized that neither was able to make another offensive moye. On Friday our army crosse(! the river into Virginia, and encamped in the woods' near Shepardstown. Phe enemy took the movement asa retreat, apd on Saturday morning’ undertook to cross at the same ford, but were met by our forces, and were driven pellsmell across the river witb fearful slaughter. Our loss was slight. In the last ten days fully 60,000 men, (on both sides) have been put hors du combat, killed, or wounded, or prisoners. This is a small estimate.

This is wrong, because itis calculated to depreciate Coufed- <rate notes. es Oe ; We have, at some little trouble, made out a list of prices at this place, the examimaton of which if uot profitable to the public, can- not fail to interest them. It will be observ- ed that the prices of many articles ate in ex- cess, relatively to other things. In some vases that excess has a tolerable reason in its favor. tortion, There is a great outery against high prices, But in others, there is manifest ex- beth in town and country ; and serious fears are entertained by somé, that a large part of” the people will seZer this winter from cold and huager; and the inquiry is often made, “Ty there no remedy 2” We are sorry it is not in our power to of- fera favorable word of assurance on this point, especially to those who have -not the means ty supply their indispensable wants. Legis- lative bodies have, up to this time, generally refrained from any attempt to regnlate or control prices, leaving them to the operation of the only lawa which usually governed them. It is a tacit admission of the extreme difficulty, not to say isupossibility, of making any law which would fairly meet the exigen- cies of the subject. It is nevertheless, in our opinion, a fearful experiment to permit re- morseless speculators to test, by gradually lucpeasing extortionate demands, the patience and powers of endurance of our people. It has been declared, time and again, that every such extortioner is a more dangerous enemy to onr cause than an armed yavkee in Lin- cola's host. It is undoubtedly true. The heart ef the Confederate soldier as he reads the letters from his wife and children, detail- ing the hardships at home, resulting from the Avariciousness @ speculators, must sink in his %osom like stone. Of the armed yankee confronting him in battle, and the vile op- pressor of his loved ones at home, he would Sooner level his gun at the latter.

Should they be spared to retara in triumph at last, think you these peculiar wrongs and hardships, inflicted upon them by heartless speculators, will be forgot- ten? Will they quietly submit to the injus- tice of that avarice by the operation of which the rich grew richer, whiles they, their fami- lies, and the families of their compeers in arms, were impoverished —pecuniarily ruined? Will they consent to be the dogs of nabobs —big-pursed robbers?—Will they? Will you risk it, at all hazards? Will you ?—you who are making your thousands per month ! We are not a prophet, and would not un- dertake to say what will be the moral stand- ard of our people when they’ shall have pess- ed through this terrible ordeal of privation and sword. But of this we are positively certain, whatever it may be; a@ final reckon- ing will come, and every man’s works will be tried of what sort it is, and he will be dealt with according as itis good or bad. The wicked seeds of covetousness, like those of Sabbath breaking, profanity, drunkenness and greed, for which God is now afflicting us as a people, will surely bear their fruits, Batir. view of the possible contingencies both to government and people which may arise in the extremity of suffering incident to the prosecution of a gigantic and protracted war, intensified by the inhumanity of avaricions men in the possessior of money, with posi- tions and facilities for grinding the less for- tunate, it does seem to us that the power ot the Government should be invoked to arrest the progress of causes so threatening in’ their character and tendency to the domestic peace of the country, as the wide-spread system of extortion which has been allowed to grow Diti- culties of the gravest kind spring up to em- up within the last eighteen months barrass the subject the more it is exam- ined; but as necessity is not less imperious than fruitful of expedients, we are sure the people would rejoice at any attempt Govern- ment, either State or Federal, might make in this direction, however inadequate.

C.) Whig, indulges in a little jubilauon at the prospect of having— A market house ! for the accommodation of that enterprising and well governed town. It has had none, strange what do you suppose ? lo say, notwithstanding few towns of its size have better government or are more liberal The Whig gives reasons for its rejoicings, en- in out-lays lor the public convenience. trely independent of the idea of having an- other public building added to the property of the town, but anticipates,sundry conven- lences and advantages with the prospective establishment. We hope its expectations may all be more than realized, though, with- out meaning to dampen its joy, we can as- sure it every community in the possession of a market house do consider themselves ex- treinely happy on that account, so far as such an establishment is calculated to promote that feeling. Our own town 1s a case in point. There are very many here who regard the inarket house, (and we have a pretty fine one) only as a means of oppression. They complained thet it was built without their | consent, and the heavy cost of it packed en them against their will; that its regulations are too restrictive, and upon the whole ts a nuisance. In one respect it favors monopo- hes. The meat stalls are taken up by three or four parties to the exclusion of every body else, and being interested in keeping up the price of meats, they charge a good fee against country men and others who may bring in beef to retail there, not being allowed to re- tail elsewhere in town until the afternoon, Competition, so fur asthe sellers are con- cerned, is a excluded idea, They sell by rule not to undersell each other; and if a man does so, (as in the case of an individual we could name,) they “get after hiinsdireetly —not to kill him, to-be-sure, byt to overcome his pernicious practice by temonstrances, per- suasions, and efforts to buy out his live stock. These are only some of the complaints; so friend Whig, don't be too overjoyous about that market house in Charlotte, for fear you amght hereafter have similar causes for wish- ing it a pile of ruins Od N- C.

Shepha en Gen, Lee made no attempt to prevent their crossing, as he'éeuld have done had he seen fit, but fell back @ few miles to a place called Bunké?’s Hill, 8 miles North of Winchester, to await the coming of the enemy. It was thought, for a few days that another great battle was imminent ; but it has become ap- parent that the enemy does not intend to make an immediate advance. The two ar- mies are not far apart, but unless Gen. Lee should bring on a battle, it is believed Mc- Clellan will be satisfied to rest his men. In the meantime the enemy will derive some ad- vantage by the publication of the fact. that his army is again on Virginia soil. The Richmond papers speak in very en- couraging terms of the condition of General Lee's army, and of the result of another bat- tle, should it take place. The enemy is very active in his prepara- tions for another campaign. Lincoln. is rais- ing a vase army, and, sending them rapidly forward.

Another grand attempt is to be made to take Richmond, and the enemy will most likely begin to mass his forces at suitabk: points with that view. No immediate ad- vance is apprehended while Lee holds Mc- Clellan in check on the Potomac. oe ee Lincoln has issued two notable proclama- mations within the last fortnight. One is, that from and after the first day of January next, all the slaves in those States then in rebellion agalost the Federal Government. shall be declared free, and his army shall ex- ecute the decree whenever they may have it in their power to do so. The other is for the summary punishment of every person in ‘the Northern States who may, by word or deed, discourage, obstruct, or hinder, the war now waged against the South. Thus, in the first: of these proclamations, we witness the direful progress of that fa- naticism which has been growing upon the people of the North for years. Steadily tending to the destruction of the Constitution of our fathers, it has at last culminated in the coinplete accomplishment of that end, And, in the second, civil liberty—long cherished vital principles of constitutional freedom— are Swept away in a moment, and the reign of military despotism established in their stead.

BY CHARLES SWAIN, Be kind to each other! The night's coming on, Wheo friegd and when brother, Perchance, may be gone ! Then ‘midst our dejection, How sweet to have earned The blest recollection Of kindntss—returned | When day hath departed, And memory keeps Her watch, broken heartad, Where all she loved slgeps | Let falsehood assail not, Nor envy disprove— Let trifles prevail not— Against those ye love! Nor change with to-morrow, Should fortune take wiog, But deeper the sorrow, The closer still cling ! Oh, be kind to each other ! The night's coming on, When friend and when brother, Perchance, be gone! For the Children’s Column. LINES—IN MEMORY OF CHARLIE ROWAN VOGLER. (SELECTED. } No bitter tears for the be shed, Blossom of being! seen and gone! With flowers alone, we strew thy bed, O blest departed One! Whose all of life, a rosy ray, Bless'd into dawn and passed away. Yes! thou art fled, ere guilt had power To stain thy cherub-soul and form, Closed is the soft ephemeral flower, That never felt a storm! The sunbeatn’s the zepher's breath, All that it knew from birth to death. Thou wert so like a form of light, That heaven benignly call’d thee henve, Bre the world could breathe one blight O’er thy sweet innocence : And than, that brighter home to bless, Art pass’d, with all thy loveliness! Oh! hadst thou still on earth remain'd, Vision of beauty ! fair, and brief! How soon thy brightness had been staind With passion or with grief! Now not a sullying breath can rise, To dim thy glory iv the skies. We rear no marble o’er thy tomb; No sculpture image there shall mourn; Ah! fitter far the vernal bloom Such dwelling to adorn. Fragrance, and flowers. and dews must be The only emblem meet for thee. Thy grave shall be a blesged shrive, Adorn'd with Nature's brightest wreath; Each glowing season shall combine It incense there to breathe: And oft, upon the midnight air, ‘ qBball viewless harps be murmuring there.

If he finds his unselfisoness repaid, he will not turn misanthrope, for God made him to be a inan, one to bear his own barden uneomplainingly, and help his fellows besides. Want canuot crush such a spirit, nor filth stain it, for within him and about him the spirit of the Christ child dwelleth always. The Embalining Business in the Army.—The correspondent of the London Times, writing from the Pa- munkey river, June, 15, says: On my way to this plantation from the camp I saw before me some tents surrounded with curious things, a sign-board, on which was written with larye letters, * Drs. Brown and | Alexandria, Government etnbal- mers.” | They are not toembalm the Government, however, but only those who require it by the care of the Government. My Irish gentle- man friend was acqaaiuted with the ander, but we found him sitting on a matin his drawers and shirt, with a large diamond pin in the latter “Take a drink!” Of course lers. That once over, | began ask- ing questions. The doctors were doing a large business there; betiod were four corpses. “See them.’ — Of course, poor tellows! none of them shot, ail died by fever. The doctor told me the principal ingredient for embalming was a kind of liquid glass and gypsum, which hardened to a substance like stone. In this State the body would keep for many years, perhanps forever.— The bodies lo ked well preserved, although not very aygrecable. The doctor took for enbaliing a private twenty-two dollars, and for an officer [fifty dollars. Twas told that since the Commencement of the war above twg thousand bodies of soldiers lad been embalmed and sent dome. This was done by Adams’ Express, in deal boxes, lined with zine. The poor tellow IT eaw nailed np wore luis uniform, aud his writting case and porttolia were laid beside him. With this and a bundle of hay un. der his head, and the address on the cover of the box, he was sent home to his mourning parents. Another Counterfvit.—A_ centle- man of Robeson county has ‘shown to us a counterteit ten dollar Confed- erate Treasury Note, which he re- ceived from a man unknown to him. The note is on very flimsy peper, i8 coarsely execited on a woodcut, signature and all engraved not writ- ten. ° The two large letters X near the Upper corners, are white, ou a dingy red Krgand, and the large gothic’ letters Yen, in the centre of the lower part, are'aleo red on a white and red ground. The centre vignette is an Indian warrior and his wife and child. There are other vignettes, aud the whole note is ful! of them and of lettering.— Fay. Ob- server.

We find im the Georgia papers the ful- lowing etter from Vice President Ste- phens on e ‘of Martial Law, with particular telerenge to the order of Gen. Bragg, proctaiming Martial Law in Atlan- ta, and presuming to constitute a military Governor of the eity. The general sab- ject of this letter is now ander the con- sideration of Congress, and from various causes, has rreently attracted the attention of the public: Ricumonp, Va., Sept. 8, 1862. Hon. Jas. M. Calhoun, Atlanta, Ga: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 28th alt., to Hon, B. U. Hall, was submitteu to me by him a tew daye ayo, for my views as to the proper answer to be made to your se- veral inquiries (ouching your powers and duties iu the office of civil Governor of Atlanta, to whieh you have been Appoint: ed by Gen. Bragg. [took the letter with the promise to write to you fully upon the whole sabject ‘This, therefore, is the ob- Jeet of wy now writing to you. T regret the delay that has occurred in the fulfill. | Ment of wy promise. siuned by the press of other engagements, | and L now find my time too short to write | as fully as [ could wish. The subject is one of great importance, and this, as well | It has been occa. | as matiers of a kindred sort, have’ given | me deep concern for some time past. Tam not at all stirprised at your being , ata loss to know what your powers and duties are in your new position, and your tnability to find anything in any written code of (aws to enlighten you upon them. The teuth is your office is unknown to the law. Gen. Bragg had no more authority for appointing you civil Governor of At- lanta, than Thad; and I had. or have, no More authority than any street walker in your city, Under his appointment, there fore, you can rightfully exercise uu more power than if the appointment bad been made by a street walker. We live under a Constitution. That Constitution was made for war as well as peace. Under that Coustitution we have civil laws and military laws; laws for the civil authorities and Jaws for the military, The first are to be found in the Statutes at Large, and the latter in the Rules of War. But in unis country there is no | such thing as Martial Law, and cannot be | unul the Constitation is set aside, if an | evil day shall ever come upon us. All | the law-making power in the Confederate States government is vested in Congress. But Congress caunot declare Martial Law, | which in its proper sense is nothing but an | abrogation of ali laws. If Conpress can- | not do it, much less can any officer of the | Crovernment, either civil or military, do it rightfully, from the highest to the lowest. . Congress may, in certain cases specified, | suspend the writ of habeas corpus, but this by no means interferes with the adminis- tration of justive su far as to deprive any | party arrested of his right to a speedy and | public trial by « Jury, after indictment, &, | Tt does not lessen or weaken the right of | | | | Congress, with the ‘pains and penalties for | ‘one who undertakes to do it isa trespass: ier and a viutator of the law. other words, if the military code for the ; nothing is more essential to the mainten- was one of the Virginia papers that . my os we . “ . . ; i ’ ° fi , , S, ad ct of ae ‘ oy . .

He was then familiariy known as “the Major,” having gon that de: gree in the army of the United States, which he resigned to enter upon civil hte. Ue was born in South Carolina, educated at West Point, and fooght under General Scott from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and bears still op his person some honourable sears which he re ceived in that great contest. He ia astmall, slender nan, witha quiet, determined air; not genial, but quite reserved, if bot inorose in man- ver, and vives the impression yener- ally of cne who is content to mind his own business, without concern: ing himself inuch with the affairs ot others, In his honse he is calmly, coldly polite—nothing more.

He afterwards wrote a series of articles for the North Carolina Presbyterian, which were collected and poblished in-a book with the title. Lhe Cro- cifixion of Christ.” He was a mem- General Hill isa Sonty Carolinian in all is) feelings, principles and prejudices, and doubtless rejoices that he is such. Ife has nursed his hatred to the North to such a de: | pree that it has become as near toa passion as his cold nature permits. | In the year 1860 he delivered a tee- ture atseveaal places in North Caro- | lina, in which be complained bitter- ly of the injustice which had been | ‘done to the South by the Northern historians of the’ Revolutionary war, | and in which he asserted, in sub. | stance, that all the battles vained in the Revolution by Northern troops | were a series of “Yankee tricks,” | and that the real, hard, open fizht- ing, had been done by the South.— So inveterate is this enmity to North 1 fern men and the Northern character in General Hill, that it creeps out in unexpected places and in most remarkable ways.

TRAVELLER. | The Northern files, received at this office so late as October the fourth, exhibit one feature of re- markable sivniticance—the cautions and timorous, but very marked, dis satisfaction and uneasiness relative to Lincoli’s proclamation of aboli- tion. Such journals as the New York LHerald, which have no theory or principle to advocate, and neither care por alin at anything further jthanto keep with public opinion, manifest this tendency with as mnek distinctness ns they dare. Afraid to say their mind on the proclamation, those journals continue their dia- tribes ayainst the Abolitionists, when snch discourse is nothing more than vpposition to the Government. Our own reports of the proceed: ings in the Coufederate Congress, the resolutions and speeches of ‘the members on Lincoln’s proclamation, are transferred entire to their col- umns. Whole pages are filled with such matter. Tie Herald enters with great violence into the Guber- _natorial election of New York; and appriees its readers that if Wads- worth, the head man of the adminis- tration and emancipation party, is elected, the pevple ay expect an endless continuance of the war with the South. These indications seem to ns the shadow of a coming event —the division of the united North Into two new partie.

House Breakers.—Tt is much to be regret- | ted that wé have in this coduty a few bad people who have caused some trouble and a county. Daring the spring: and early sum- mer they eontented thenselves with break- 1og into meat-houses, corn-cribs, and the like, carrying off such quarties of provisions as generally could be spared without imposing distress upon the robbed. But of late, they have extended their operations so a3 to com- prehend dwelliugs, and in » number of cases _ have perpetrated offences which will come , nigh entitling them to the halter. They have | of late sought opportuniues in open day, | when the owners of houses were absent. At | such times they have entered dwellings, | breaking down doors, splitting drawers, break- . ing locks, and every thing else obstructing a complete search of the house; and have car- ried off clothing, jewelry, money, pistols, &e., | &c. We have no idea how many are impli-- cated in these offences, but believe the num- is small; and that they are white peotle— , probably deserters, anxious to prepare them- | selves either for leaving the country, or for their comfort during the winter, expecting to spend it inthe swamps, Two or three charg- ed with these offences have been arrested. A man named Dederry, of South Carolina, a deserter, who has caused much anxiety among the lonely women in the country, was arrested by a party of gentlemen-on Mr. S. R. Harrison’s plantation last Tuesday night, and brought here in irons, He seemed to be well aware of the wickednees of his recent career, as he confidently expected the excited people who gathered around to look at him intended to hang him on the nearest tree. Upon exatnination he was committed to jail to awail a trial by the ccivil Courts, when, doubtless, he will receive the tull measure of the law. He was very anxious to be allow- | ed to return to his place in the army, and with profuse proiises and copious showers of . tears begged for one more chance to show his courage as a soldier; but the unwise mode of shipping off sccundrels and allowing them to yo unwhipped of jusuce upon condition they will gu into the army, it is hoped, is ful-- ly played out; and herealter the claims of the law will tirst be satistied. It is impossi- ble to make a good soldier out of such bad material. Indeed, it is impossible to make a good any thing of it; and all we can do is | either to deter such men from wickedness by | punishment, or relieve the community of ‘them by breaking their necks, | _—_—_—_— 57th N.C.

I lrave been constrained to say this from what I have seen and heard of the families of soldiers suffering for the essentials of life, not for the luxuries, but for the really necessary elements of existence. Ihave seen letters from wives to their husbands, portray - ing a deplorable state of affairs, such as one would shudder at, when it 1s considered that they came from philanthropic North Caroli- na, and from a town boasting of the wealth and influence of Salisbury. Yes, I have seen and known of women pleading for help from their husbands, who were not able to grant & particle of assistance, not having drawn their pay from the Government. One wo- man writes that she ig barefooted and can get no shoes on any pretence; that she has not a stick of wood to burn, and the good people of town will not give her a stick with- out the money; that her children often cry from cold and hanger, and all that she can do is to mingle her tears with those of the little ones and pray for a brighter to-moxrow, and What can a husband do? What consolation can he offer? In his reply, he says, “if the wealthy citizens in’ your community, for Whose interest I lett you, and for whom Iam Separated from you and all the endearments ot home and kindred, perhaps forever, if their charities have ended, I shall leave the army and go to you, even at the risk of life itself” Aud who can blame the spirit of such a sol- dier. It matters not how much devotion tay be expressed for Country, or how mueh Interested a man may be in the welfare of the army, nature demands jhat his first and chief interest shall be for his family, and it 1s impossible to be insensible to. their claims, and if he found them snffering, would he be wroug in throwing down his gun and going to theirrelief? {had supposed that the age had passed when women end children would go unprotected and uncared for and that in the present days uf social refinement and cul- uvated civility, men would blush toown that such an idea could be tolerated in their midst. How do I find myself mistaken, and in seek- ing the cause, what can I conclide, but that selfishness has completely wrapped itself up- on society? Can it be said that the people did uot know of such cases in their midst, Where is that principle of benevolence which looks to the interest of the poor and desti- tute? Ts it esséntial that a female, half clad and hungry, should go with tearful eyes from door to door, and street to street begiug for her daily bread, all because her husband is in the army, and is compelled to pay two months wages for a barrel of flour ? | Men of means may say that tliere are two | many destitute families, I say then, if they | are dissatised to do something by way of their maintenance, we soldiers can go home and eare for our own interests, which would virtually disband the army. I have said Fenough to have it understood mat it is not in the spirit of any man to be si lent and know that those near and dear to him are in need, The soldier will do all that is limited means will allow, the community, | or the charitable portion. of it, must do the res’, and all willbe well. good, We are situated in an onhealthy place, and strange to say, we have been here for ten days entirely uninterrupted by march- ing orders.” The first companies that left Salisbury, have been moved about considera- bly, having never stayed tore than a week ata place, and often net more than two or three days. Our last: march was to Charles City Court House, and it proved to be an im- portant adventure. We supposed we were ordered to Williamsburg and expected to find an opportunity $o try our valor by force of | arms, but unexpectedly and very suddenly we received counter orders, and marched back to the vicinity of Richmond. Tke coun- try, through Which we passed, was almost as a wilderness. It was deserted and laid waste, and plainly shows the devastation of a migh- ty army. In one house L found the follow- ing written With a pencil upon the plastered wall: “Teil me old house | how long deserted ! and What for? cho answers, forever! on account of war.” We passed the battle gronnd of Malvern Till, and observed many relics of the conflict —cannon balls, pieces of shell, trees torn in pieces, and the carcases of dead horses strown in-every direction, indicated the carnarge and destraction of war. But I have ventured upon your attentfon already too far. It will reinain for a fature communication to give a description of the condition of the Regiment | and its movements.

VANCE, Governor pf North Carolina, do issue this my proclamation, warning all soch persons ty desist {rom such unpatiotc and criminal conduct; earnestly hoping that all who are disinclined to defend thar homes themselves, either by reason of age, mfrmity or coward- ice, will cease to dissuade those who are willing; and notifying positively all persons contemplating an armed resistance to the | law, i there really be any such misguided ) and evil disposed persons i our midst, that they will comnmit the crime of treason, ac- cording to the Constituuon, and must pot expect lo escape its penalties. Whilst thous- ands upon thousands of our best and bravest have cheertully obeyed the law, and by their }+ patniotic valor have driven the enemy back tu the Potomac, 1 avould be .an intolerable “yutrage upon them to permit others to evade the law, or worse suil, to resist it by open | violence. Let no one therefore, be deceived : 1 the law wall be entorced, and [appeal to all loyal and patriotic eluzens to sustain those Who are charged with its execution.

A Nortu-Carouina SuRGEON. | Richmond, Oct. 9, 1862. | Position of the Members of Lincolns Cabinet on the Emaneipatian Proclamation. | Lincoln’s emancipat‘on proclamation | bas aroused so much feeling in the North, that it has been found necessary to put forth the following semi-official statement of the position of the several members of his Cabinet on the measure. From the outset’ Governor Chase has been ‘the recognized leader in urging emancipation, and when the matter was at various times under discussion, he was Secretary Wells favored emancipation, mit, was not specially energetic in urging it, as he rar-{y is in urging any point in public policpcutside his own department. Secretary Stanton, if not originally ac- tive in favor of emancipation by the ap- proved inethod, was at least opposed to It | in the latter discussions, At the same ume, he has always been outspoken in ve- claring lis readiness to strike at slavery under the war power, whenever and wher- ever slavery could be reached. Postmaster-General Blair was, through- out, the most determined and bitter oppo- nent of the emancipation policy, and when the substance of the proclamation was made known to the Cabimet, ke was per- haps more autepoken than any of the members in: protesting against its adup- tion. . Not less determined, though perhaps more cautious in bis protests, was Secre- tary Seward. It may be safely said that he was the great leader, in the Cabinet, of opposition to any policy of emancipation resembling that which the President final- ly adopted. \ Secretary Smith and Attorney General Bates oceupied abont the same grounds on the subject. They disapproved the proclamation, not because they were averse to the abolition of slavery, but because they believed it would be certainly accom-~ plished by legitimate progress of the war without the step the Presigent has taken. They believed that abstaining from the proclamation would save {rouble in the border States and avoid, possibly, compli- cations at the North. In short, they be- lieved in pushing the war as vigorously as possible, and bad no doubt that the ne- cessary result would be the destruction of slavery in the progress of the war. Se, cretary Smith is a erstood to have urged these views’ views vély ot: A Geawres Bice wiih Eon pally. nA There was an actual majority in the into ‘tha’ ‘great “8 ba. nee BY atk Cuhines ngqninst. the Presidentls proctaha- tion: bit Me.ALingole, allleadhl, wh has wade up: hie tw ited tubk ‘the the: opinion of bis -Onhines even at last, with biteled! amy: . .

The scare there is very great; heavy artillery and goods -have. been moved to tbe Indiana side, and the livery stables have sent their horses ope hundred aud fifty miles into the inte- rior of Indiana for safety. But it is vo part of Geo. Bragy’s present plans to oc cupy Lyuisville. He forgoes, the empty glory of that cor quest to pursue a more comprehensive plan. The march of this army from Chatta nooga has been au extraordinary one, In a little over two weeks Gen. Bragg has transported his great train of ordpance and supplies over two mountains and two riv- ers, and marched three bundred miles. At every move he has deceived, out generalled and out-flanked Buell. The enemy occu pies but a small part of Kentucky, and when Price shall bave secured our rear by holding Nashville, we are strong enough if Kentucky does her ditty, to maintain Kentucky, and thus detend the more Suuthern States of the Confederacy.

Our army is cheaply subsisted.— The country ts full of provisions, and we hear that Kirby Smith bas already col- lected large army stores at Lexinyton, General Stevenson, as 1 have said, bas reached Danville, 40 miles hence, and be- tween us and Kirby Smith, with from se- ven to ten thousand men from the Gap. He was in pursuit of Gen, Morgan and bis refugees, The latter took a more north- erly route, and Kiroy Smith is after bin, with fair prospects of bagying him. The stragglers of the army, left on the toilsome march, are coming in in numbers to Dan- ville. Of future plans and movements it is not prudent to speak. The health of the army is good. vernmeut would make the most of this campaign, so auspicivusly begun, com plete beyond peracventure, it should at once send to Bragg a reinforcing column of 20,000 men. Here is the cheapest, best and surest line of Southern defence. Our troops need clothing more than anything else. Kentucky and the enewny must sup- ply it. From the Raleigh Standard.

Our loss was three men slizhtly wounded. Scarceiy bad the echo of sheir can- non died away, before we were again summoned to the field of conflict alone with our Col.

He came up the James River under a flag of trace, some days ayo with 158 Confederates, who had been for some time in confinement in what is kuown in Washington as the New Cap- ital prison, of which he was superintendent. He applied to Mr. Olds for an exchange of an equal number of Union men; but | that gentleman declined any negotiation of the kind. He then proposed to go up to Richmond with bis prisoners and renew the application to the authorities there. ( He was told he could go asa prisoner, but not otherwise. He readily assented to this, and went up, taking with him all his pris- oners, whom he afterwards liberated or paroled. His application to the Confeder- ate authorities, it seems obtained for him the privilege of visiting this place for the purpose of seeing the Union men confined here; though he brought no papers grant- ing him this privilege. He was for sever: al days engaged in making out o list of them, with a memoranda in éach case, te ken in’ the presende of Confedétate Judge Advooate, Mr. Taucy, ‘who siinply eins f 7 Pug % * rdoter OF the pisinondty < The wen were called up, one by one, and in- formed that the object was to release them from prison, if there were no charges against tbem justifying their confinement. They were invited tu express (hair unbiased po- litical semtiments, Mr. Wood assuring them that if for the United States, he thought he could effect their release. It may be remarked here, that many of those who in a former examination before Mr. Tully, had protessed to be thorougly in fa vor- of the Confederate Government and bad taken the oath of allegiance thereto, reversed their positions, avd declared themselves Union men, thus subjecting thut yentleman to # revisal of bis report, then nearly ready to be submitted to the Goverment. Whether the unfortupats meu did this in vindicatiou of their con- sciences, or as the surest means of accom- plishing their speedy release, we are left to conjecture. Bat if Mr. Wood's mission should fail and we are of opinion it will, they have but rebolted the doors whieh were about to open for their release. So far as we have been able tu learn the plan upon which Mr. Wood hopes to xe complish what, upon its surface, appears to be a humane object, it is that each Gov: erminent shall release this class of prisuners and penmpit them to return ty their homes, wherever they tay be, upon condition of absolute neutrality as regards the war.— They are to be protected in the undisturb- ed and free expression of their opinions, but are hot to take up arms or do any act for or avainst either side.

Eilitor of the Salishury Watchman : Permit us through your paper to inform the friends of this Regiment, living in the counties of Rowan, Iredell and Davie, that by the first week in November, proximo, | We will be prepared to forward their Winter Clothing to thein, and will gladly pack with them any article of un- derclothing, shoes or socks which their friends or rela- tions may desire to send them, It will only be necessary for persons furnish ng them to do them up in packages mark the name of the soldier for whom they are intend. ed upon them, and deliver them to us in our office in Cha lotte, by the time above specified, to ensure their reaching their destination. This gallant Regiment has made a fous history for these counties, in its noble defer.ce of our Country upon many bloody fields, and now that another northern win- ter is to fod it still standing between us-and the enemy we who are at home must know that they all are com fortable, The Government cannot farnish them with underclothing, socks, or shoes, Let us exert ourselves to do it.

Jameo Ist 27. Taking this enlarged view, which is evidently legitimate and proper, we ¢is- cover that in Yhe troubles which efflict our neighbors and countrymen we have con- stant tests of our sincerity ‘and fidelity ag professors of the religion of Jesus, ‘Every where around us are sadly Jarge and in: creasing numbers of the onfortunate and afficted, Never before have there been among us such numerous aud, atleeting demands upon private and public charity, Tam sure that these demands do not, ean nut fall unheeded upon the kind hearts of this community, A cighly eommen- dable liberality bas been evineed by many, of our citizens. The establishment of the Way-side Hospital here —furnishing it by gratuitous contributionssapplying i from time to time with the requisite means and stores —Speaks nobly for che generous and kind hearted laches aud gentlemen in this aml other counties who have responded so faithfully to the call of distress. Many n wearied, wounded, fainting soldier has found it a grateful resug place and had cause to bless the yood Samanians who provided so well for bis comtortin the day of his sickness and need. To this I may add the many instances of generous attentions to the sick and wounded passing here— the countless contributions of valuatle ar- ticles to our brave soldiers—the beaubful and qmet charibes which same have not forgotten to bestow on the destitute and iV distressed in our midst and the cordial donations for the rehef of the unfortunate sidierers in Woliwington. Seo far as these gifts have been prompted by a sehse of religious obligations they atrest the gen- uineness of your hopes and professions. — But the evils of the day and stread fore- bodings of the early future are callmye loudly sull. Atlow ine tirst: to submit to your hunsane consideration the condition of ovr troops—our soldier friends— many of them our own relations. Winter is al- most here. From negleet or necessity — both ip part, the Government fails to sup- ply the army with comfortable clothing, Very many of them are to day barefooted and in altnost every respect unprovided for the cold weather that is approaching, Unles very yvreat efforts are made hy all— } tbe hardships and suffering of the winter campaign will be inmost appalling. It is by no means improbable that the dark and heartrending history — of Valley | Forge nay be wntten avain aud again by the snows of Virginia before the sunshine of spring sball warm ber fields again, It Unis be so not only must those who give up home aud health and virtually life itself for us, encounter shucking sofferings, but our cause and our country will be most starthngly imperiled if not roined. Men naked in the — sleet —barefooted in the suow storm must not be expected to fight for our independence unless it be proven to them that they have our sym- pathies and that ther hardships and pric vations and pring shall all be alleviated by us as far as possible. What then? Why every one must do something, do what be can to seeure some Itt: comfort to our soldiers. Show the warworn de- fender of your home that you thank him for his sacrifices and struggles in your «de- fence; and show this by waking seme sac- rifice in return, He is esving his all— pray make bim sume gt to prove that you are not dead to gratitude and justice ! Our soldiers must be clad and proteeted though we take the carpets frem our Churches and homes. Who that has a heart will say otherwise? Rot I desire more especially to plead the claims of those who are speeitied by the apostle as the peculiar objects of our charity. “The Fatkerless, and the Wid- ows!” How many—oh how many there are in our war-enrsed land today! By these terms I mean pot merely those whose father or husband has fallen by dis- ease or been slain on the field. These are heartrendingly numerous. But the wives and cbildren of many in the army to day are as though their husband and faylrer was in the tomb. The pittance of a pri- vates pay, when we subtract what hunger and cold and sickness and aceident and necessary charity to his comrades compel bim to spend, is alinost nothing in the mnatter of his family’s support. As the soldier is comparatively young, his chil dren are generally of that age at which they can do little or nothing and instead of lessening, greatly increase the burdeo that rests on the hands of their mother.— They of hecessity prevent her from doing what she otherwise might for their comfort and support. In vet many bomes, there is grief and gloom, for the busband and father is no more.

Now Rotre’s parents were Very good peuple, and he had to say 8 lesen every afternoon, just as you do; su.oue evening he had thie same verve in his lesson. ‘1 would like to be a petee maker, mama; how can I do ht he said. Think, Robie, tomorrow. is‘ Monday, and sce if you can find out. You most try on your way to school, and while there, tu sed if. you cad be a peace waker.’ “Retie hardly understood the mediihy, but went out next morn ing With the fall intention of being one. He had not gone far when he saw two little boys fighting.— He went op to them, and asked what was tire matter.” “The boys both had their own way oftelling about the fuss, as boys usually du. Robie listened to both of them, and = begyed them not to fight, telling them it was very wick- ed tu du sa, till at length he yot them persuaded tu be friehds.” He had just started off towards the schvolhouse, when a hand was -laid on his shoulder, and a pleasant -voice suid, ‘Blessed are the peace , makers, tur they shall be called the | children of God. Robie turned, and recognized the minister of. the Cburch to which his mother belonge. ‘My little boy,’ said he, ‘I ain very glad to find there are some peace- makers in this place.” ‘Am I ove? said Robie. ‘Yes, my child, you have been acting the part of a peace maker here, , Have you any brothers and sis. | ters athome?” ‘Yes sir; [ have one brother and two sisters.’ ‘Do you ever quarrel ? “Robie blushed, but was a truth- ful little tellow, aud answered that they did quarrel. ‘Then you are not a peace maker at home. To be a peacemaker you must not grumble bor quarrel yourself, and try to keep every one else from doing se. = Good- bye, my son; I hope soon to find that you are a peace maker every where you go.’ Robie bid him good bye, and went on to school, with a determina- tion to try and be a_ peace maker. He did try, and succeeded too, - “Well Charlie, do you understand the meaning now?” “I do understand, and thank yon | very much.

Curiosity led me’ to look closer, and lo! the little crea - tare was playing the mother hen, for beneath her outspread wings were three or four little downey things, peeping as contentedly as though their adopted mother was fall gtrowo. Upon inquiring I found that the larger chick had been tor- guken when quite small, and was now exemplifying the golden rule to these little things orphaned like herself; seeking food for the.n with all a mother’s care, and nightly tak- ing them ander her protection. hat a beautiful incident, and how well it might serve xs a lesson to many boys and yirls who happen ‘to be the oldest ofa family of little ones!

Dros. | 1. Johuston, of the Episcopal Churet metead of the Rev. dos. M. Atkin- son, of the Presbyterian Churceh.— This change was made on account of the unexpected arrival of Dr. J., who isa very near connection of the deceased. The Procession was a large one, the 81st being out in full force, and a Conscript Guard of 600 men.— Citizens on foot and in’ carriages swelled the procession until it ex- tended a distance not short of halt a! intle. The remains were deposited tor the present in the public Ceme- tary of this City, after which the usual three volleys were tired over the | grave, and the ailitary returned to their quarters and the citizens to their homes. Attached to the saddie on the borse which was led by the body ser: vant of Gen. Anderson, was tlre sword which he wore when he re- ceived his fatal wound. This sword was once the property of the late Capt. Joho Burgwyn, an anole of the deceased, and was attached to his person when he fell gallantly fighting at the battle Puchla de Ta- 08. The tidings of Gen. Anderson’s death will carry sorrow wherever he was known. In the army espe- cially they will be received with heartfelt grief by officers and men, for the deceased possessed the en tire and unreserved confidence ot | the former, while by his gentleman: ly yet fin demeanor he bad won the warm attachment of the latter.

We cannot, therefore, de- nounce the producer of any of these necessary articles as an extortiner, simply because he sells his produc- tions at the market price, though the speculator who sometimes buys ther up and makes enormous profits on them, is liable to that grave chrye and to the penalties of the moral law—hbaman laws having failed or- dinarily to meet the case. But the late session of Congress passed one Jaw which is likely to have effect, we think, on atew of the many extowioners, su called.— In congideration of the exemption of workmen ‘from conscription, Con- gress has fixed a limit to the protiis of certain manufacturers, viz: makers, tanners, blacksinithes, wagon makers, woul and cotton imanufac- turers, paper mills, wool carding machines, and perhaps some others.

Of thgt every wan must jadge for himeelf. But in our opin- ioa the law ought to be ubeyed. It affords a fair opportunity fur those manufacturers who have theinselves been anxious to find some stopping place, (far short of present prices,) in the advance of goods. They have not heretofore been able to control prices. We have repeutediy asked the question, and nobody has ven. tared to answer it, whether a manu- facturer who is offered a price fur his goods, should refuse it and say he will take a dower price?

Four wre required to make a quoram to transuc’ busi- ness, The three members mentioned were still in the City on Monday, awaiting the arrival of another, to con- stitute a quorum; bat it ee:ms to be probable that no qnorum will be present, and that in consequence no busi- nese will be transacted. 4 By the 96th section of the 58d chapter of the Revised Code, the Governor is empowered, with the concerrence of the Council of State, to convene the Legislature when- ever it shall be deemed absolutely necessary, That is absolutely necessary that the Legislature should be con- vened before the regular period for its meeting, we think there can be no doubt. Immediate steps should be taken to clothe our sroops in Virginia, and to defend the East- ern portion of the State ; and besides, it was exceedingly desirable that the Coaneil should have met, so as to have concurred with the Governor in laying ww embargo to prevent the exportation of flour, bacon, leather, and the like from the State. We know something of the Governor's anxiety on these subjects. H+ is doing haw duty, but he can act only in accordance with the Cousitation and the law, The first duty of North Carolina in the list resort, és to herself If the Eastern povtion of the Siate should be occupied by the enemy up tothe Wilmington and Weld- on oad, the loss to our people would be incalculable. — Every portion of the State would feel the calamity, We believe that Gov. Vance i€ determ.ned that if this calam- ity shouted befall as, it shaff not be said that he was wanting in efforts to avert it—NV CU Standard, Oct 21. The seme paper of the 24th instant, speaking further on this subject, says: ‘ The present Council, chosen by the late Legislature, is composed of th» following gentle- men: Louis C. Desmond, of Lenoir, Joun W. Cunning- ham, of Person, David Murphy, of Cumberland, Wiliam A. Ferguson, of Bertie, Jesse F. Graves, of Surry, Wm. L. Hilliard, of Buneombe, and John J. Long, of Halifax, or Northampton. They were all original secesyonists, with the exception of Mr. Desmond, who was recently appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna- tion of Mr. Wooten, of Lenoir, who was also an original secessionist. “We happen to know that Gov. Vance is mos? anxious to lay an embargo on the transportation of articles of prime necessity from the State by speculators—to make provision for clothing and shoeing a brave soldiers in Virginia, who are already suffering from exposure and | cold, and who must suffer still more unless such provis- jon is made for them—and to devise such measures as may be in his power to protect the Eastern portion of the State from the ravages of the enemy. With this view, he notified the Counci! of State to meet in this | City on Saturday Iust; and it is quite probable t at, if a quorum of that body had been presdnt, he would have recommended the assembling of the Legislature some two weeks earlier than the regular period fixed by law, so that that body might have considered and adopted such measures as should have seemed to them expedient and necexsary in this important crisis.” * “It is be- lieved that Mr. Cunningham was ab-ent from the State on business, and could not attend, and that Mr. Hilliard is in the urmy ; but we know of no good reason why Mr. Graves and Mr. Long could not be present. Mr. Graves may not have received the notice which was sent him, or he may have been absent from home; but we learn urged by telegraph to attend, the three members above- mentiyned having remained in Raleiyh awaiting his pre sence from Saturday until Monday eyening. “We make no charges or reflections on any of the ab- sent members; but we cannot omit to allude to the sin- gular fact that on no former occasion, during the two ' years of their term about to expire, hive the members of this Council failed to furnish « quorum for the trans- | action of business.” | The Stundard then goes on to express apprehensions of the existence in this State of u factious party opposi- | tion to Goy. Vance and those who elected him, xo bilter as that it is willing to jecpardise the best interest of the State rather than aid his administration, To this spirit it says we owe the defeat of the Seven Regiment Ordi- nance—the refusal to reassemble the State Convention, &c., all of which we would rather disbelieve than to credit. that Gov. Vance has been defeated in some of his mea- sures for the relief of our soldiers and the defense of the We have deemed it important to show, however, State against the enemy, and to that extent is blameless of the consequences should any mischief ensues. =< td — Diabolical Outr: ge The Richmond Examiner of the 24th instant says, on Tuesday last Mr. J. M. Shivers and Mr. Jos, A. Graves, residing on the lower J.m-s river, visited Jainestown Is- land, for the purpose of transacting some private bnasi- ness, when they were captured by a party of negroes professing to belong to a New York regiment, and carried before another negro whom they styled * the Colonel.” A sort of trial was gone through with, and the unf rtu- Nate gentlemen were sentenced to be shot, whereupon the demons proceeded to carry the sentence into execu- tion. Mr. Shivers attempted to escape, and plunged into a marsh, but was pursued and beaten on the head with an oar until life was extinct. A free negro, who rowed the boat for Messrs. Graves and Shivers, received some wounds, but effected his escape from the Island, and con- veyed the news to the families of the victims, One of the gentlemen thus barbarcusly murdered was a near re- lative of Major William Allan of Claremont. There is a nest of runaway negroes in that neighborhood, whose outrages are doubt-ess encournged Ly the Yankees at Williamsburg. By the adoption of prompt and energetic measures they mizht be cleared out or exterminated, & itis hoped that the incident just narrated will lead to some action with that object in view. Since the above was written we have learned that a youth named George Graves formed one of the party, and was also murdered. Mr James A. Graves had been for several years Commonwealth’s Attorney for Surry county, There is abundant reason to believe that our oft beat: | en enemies will either seduce or compel the negroes fall- ing into their hands to perpetrate crimes against our people.

Or is it intended to deceive Government detectives, who, in some of the States, are required to grab these arti- cles? Whatever the motive, we have seen some such packages in process of prepar- ation, and give this notice for the benefit of the public.

Oh, if I could but hear him, Just as he spoke to men, I'm sure I should believe him, Ah yes, aad love him then. Bat now he is so distant, ® So very fer away, How can he ever hear me, When I attempt to pray? ’ Or if he heeds my asking, How can he answer send? And bow can one that’s absent, My guardian be, and friend? O, thou ascended Savior, Reveal thyself to me? I long, I long to knuw thee, I yearn thy face to see; To clasp my arms abou! thee, And on thy bosom lean! Oh, if I could be near thee, I know Id never sin. Dear child! Thy loving Savior, Though now by thee unseen, Livee, and is ever near thee, To save thy soul from sin. Receive the Gospel message, Believe his written word, And soon thine eyes shall open, To see thy blessed Lord. — Child at Home. eee TRUST IN GOD. At the foot of a shady tree sata respectable, middle-aged man, rest- ing himself on asummer’s day, tor the long walk which he had been taking over a crosa country road had fatigued him. As he sat there, he obeerved a nice, steady-looking boy coming towards him, apparently deep in thought; and when the lad drew nearer, he called ont and asked hitn the way to the town of L——. The boy started at the inquiry, for he had not noticed the stranger ; but the next minute he pointed out the direction in a respectful and intel- ligent manner, adding that he was going there himself, and that if the gentleman liked he would show him the way. So they set off together. ‘I should like to know what you were thinking about, my lad, when I spoke to you just now,’ said the traveller, with a smile, ‘You looked so very grave.’ The boy hesitated, and colored. ‘What was it? some sccret, he ?’ ‘No, sir, I was only wondering how it was that my mother is so very poor and friendless.’ ‘Why, don’t you know what makes her poor? ‘Qh yes, sir; because she isn’t able to do much work, and can’t get much to do either and nobody will employ me, becanse we were strangers, and I haven’t been out before ; or else I would keep mother myself, that [ would. She should not doa thing, for she isn’t fit for it. But that was not what I meant, sir. Mother says God is good to everybody whetrusts in him, and I know she ia right in what she saya, for the Bible says so too; but then it seemg strange tome that he doesn’t help us a little more; and there is the rent to make up soon, and I don’t know where it’s to come from. Mother never frets nor gruin- bles; she tells ime it’s all for the beat, but I cannot see how.’ ‘No,’ replied the stranger; ‘nor yet, perhaps, can your mother; bat bhe. can truet} and trust in Ged al- ways helps asto bear up under our troubles, and to believe that they pass away, when it is right they should do so. Do you leve your mother? ‘Oh yes,’ said the boy, earnestly, ‘indeed I do; she 18 one of the best of mothers.’ His companion seemed pleased. ‘And you don’t think that she woul) do anything she believed wonld in- jure you, or that would’t be for your good? ‘No, of course not, sir.’ ‘Well, your mother thinks just the same of her Heavenly Father. She loves him, and she knows that he loves ber+-that he loved her su much.asto give his only begotten wie for ber; aud therefore gnre that whatever he sends sh or in kindness—whether it be joy or eorrow, poverty or plenty. Now, if yod Nad) her fpith, ff you simply n God as she does, which she ; ¢ ae His ide looked: thought ful, but was silent, they were now at the entrance of the town. ‘What ie your name, my: boy ? ‘Philip Reynolds, sir.’ ‘Philip Reynolds! Where do you come from ? ‘From Harfield, sir: my father was a carpenter there, and we were better off then.’ - ‘Are you going home now? ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘I Will go with you; I have come here on some important business, and [think your mother will be just the person to help me in it. Philip ‘looked surprised, and not a little curious; but the stranger stiniled, and did not offer any expla- pation. On reaching their little cottage, Philip ashered in his new acquaint- ance; but there was ne need of any introduction to hig mcether for she hastily rushed towards him, exclaim- ing, ‘Robert, my dear, dear brother!’ Yes, it was widow Reynold’s only broter returned from a distant goun- try, after several years’ absence.— His first inquiry apon bis return was for his sister; lie fouud that she had retnoved; that she was a widow and in very redoted circuto- stances; and he was on his way to find out her abode when he met with Philip. It was au unexpected and very phappy meeting. Philip's uncle was nota rich tman but he had a com- fortable income, and could well af- ford to belp his new found relatives. He took his sister to live with him as his housekeeper; and after he sent Philip to school for a twelve- month, got hin an excellent sitva- tion, und provided for him as for his own sun.—London Child’s Com- panion. & Grind Stones.—Our attention has been called to the fagt that the Deep River region is now furnishing large numbers of this indispensable arti. cle.

Now, we may ask, is it possible, that in a land like ours, that ‘there should be idols? Alas ! ’us tov true. What is it that so many are worshipping in these trying times? 1 answer, itis money, Extortioners take warning, you, as well as all uthers, who ate not obeying the Bible, have an idol; one. tog, that cannot help you, when the Lord | SAYS, I will bring seven times more plag ues upon you, according to vour sins, Now, then, if we believe the Bibie, and believe that what was necessary to save Israel, 1s also necessary to save us, how important “is it, that we should, without deiay, turn from our evil ways; that we should wor- ship our Creator, instead uf money, or idols of any kind, for, be assured, that the cry of those who, through speculation, are made to suffer for the necessaries of life, will be beard by Him, who hatb declared, that if ye will vot, for all this, hearken uo- to me, but walk contrary unto me, ther North State.

Compa. | It nul appear to any reflecting mind that nies A and F were sent out on skirmish, | and the remainder of the brigade was held in readiness to march at an instant. Be- Sides these preparations, the wagons and sick, cooks, d&c., were sent to the rear.— Thus things remained until near sunset, when we were relieved, partially, by orders to“rest on our arms that night.” The time passed on, but litde sleeping was done. The darkness was intense, and a| fine mist was falling; every thing favored | the deserters. They decamped about two | o'clock, on the morning of the 18th inst., : and have not been heard from since, Va- rious conjectures are afloat as to the mo tives that induced them to leave. Some think they are yone to the lick for salt,— some that they are attempting a flank movement on the enemy on their own hook ;—others think they are bound for home, since one of them has been much distressed about a gourd fall of whisky he luft there, and * his goife might drink it all |' before he got back, if he staid till the war ended -” another wanted to traiu some young hounds to hunt possums, and so on. Butthe most plausible theory is, that. they did uot like the signs of the times du- ting the day preceding. Well, in truth, those cartridges, burnished bayonets aod gun-barrels, and whetted swords, did look ‘Suspicious; but the next day passed qui- euy, though ready to march, aud that eve- ning brought the welcome news that the enemy had retreated across the Potomac, and the unexpected news that a parcel of our conscripts, including two or three old Soldiers, retreated “ the way Ward's ducke went.” NAT.

When the time arrives for the inaugur- | ation of this most excellent purpose of | defenders of our rights—the achievors of our independence—there are ather plans Does it would be better to deposite a fund for the education of these orphans at some of the Colleges already built and in opera- tion? Why should it be thought neces- sary to expend such a large purtion of the money when we already have buildings, that are furnished with apparatus, Libra- ries, and every thing belong*ng to such establishments? Ayain, has not the bis- tory of Education in our country, general- ly, yes, almost invariably, proven the in- expediency of building extensive schemes on a single dea? What has become of the High Schools and Colleges of tiie Ma- suns, Odd Fellows, &e.? They have near- ly all entirely failed. It is well, too, to inquire to what degree the education of these orphans is to be a gratuity. Are they only to have their tuition free ? Will they be clothed, boarded, supplied with books and other facilities ? They are essen- tial considerations. In writing these thoughts, we cordially disavow any intention to interfere with any undertaking that promises to bless the fa- therless trusts committed to the mercy of the surviving by the noble-hearted martyrs of our cause. Show the expediency as to the time and the manner—and we and all will espouse the interests of the enterprises aud give heart and hand to,aid them. -If our views are incorrect, we hope to be set right by those who knuw more of such things than we. But until we are con- vinced, we must enter our kind, bat earn- est protesc against any effort to draw mo ney from the pockets of the friends of those soldiers and their families—for new and impracticable educational purposes— while the immediate necessities of the body aud the sou) are sa great. W, October 27, 1862. For the Watchman. A WORD OF WARNING TO ALL. Dear Friends: The time has come, when we should begin to inquire into the state of things relating to the gteat struggle now ' amongst us, what may not be voine of the a that so many of our fellow-mep are why the prospect for peace is no beter now that fear Him, why? I ask, why is it that we do not turn, as a people, from our evil ways, aud be saved from utter ruin! I will simply say, then, to all those that are getting rich, through speculation, in these war times, to stop and read the chapters referred to, and many others that might be pointed out, and see if they canuot find out some of the reasons why times are the way they are.

The infor- mation comes in such a shape as to leave uo doubt in regard tothe trath of the story. A few years ago, a young lady of Columbia, Tenn., was married to ‘a young lawyer of Helena, Ark.— She was educated, talented, witty }and accomplished in a bigh degree. We speak from personal knowledge in making this aftirmation’ They were comfortably setteld in Helena, and were blessed with one or more children. Her husband is in the Southern army. Five Federal sol I diers, including and officer, forcibly seized this lady, carried her to a barn, and each of them committed an outrage on her person. In two or three weeks she died, a victim to itheir brutality. and the grief and ) mortification produced by their treat- }iment of her. Her hnosband is said to be a Lieut, Colonel of some regiment. The wri iter knows him, and could give Nis | name, but furbears to co so. | Soldiers and men of the South, ithink of this unparalleled deed of jcrimne and infamy,*and let it verve you to fight for the protection of your wives and chlidren, and to drive back and destroy the invaders of your country and despoilers of your homes.—Anowville Reyister. Foreigners going North.—The Contederate Government bas offered every facility, by truce boats, to foreigners, who wished to go North to do go, since the commencement of hostilities. But it seems that the Federal Government, in’ its despera- tion to obtain recruits, requires that hereafter “no alien, claiming foreign protection, can have any demand for transportation or snbsistence on truce boats, without previons ar- rangements, authorized, granted and recognized by the United States an- thorities.” Thus, it will be seen, eays'the Richmond Haguirer,. the foreigner in the South must obtain authority from the’ North before he can ‘obtain egress, and this authori ty,;for the present at least, inust be based upon'the coridition alone that he will sell his soul tothe Federal, Carolinian.

Standard, that some of our manu- factures refuse to comply with the exemption act and to be sutisfied with seventy-five per cent profit, gays: “Any reasonable man ought to be satisfied with 75 per cent profit, and we have heard of a few instances where the manufacturer was satis- fied with less than 75 per cent.— But the instances are precious few. Mr. John F. Phifer, of Lincolnton, until recently sold his yarn at $1.50 per bale, and he now only chargee, $3, while others charge $6, Gen. Neel of this county, we learn, has been selling at $3 and $4. Young, Wriston and Orr, of this place, pro- prietors of Rock Island Woolen Factory, have agreed to furnish cloth to the State for soldiers’ cloth- ing at about 50 per cent profit.” We have heard it said by the spinners themselves, in the piping times of peace, that if they coul sell their yarn for double the cost of the raw material, they wanld be satisfied, for they would be making a handsome profit indeed. We learn that factories in this neigh- berhood are selling yarn at $4.50 and $5.00 a banch,’and yet cotton can be bought in this county for from 15 to 18 cents per pound— good clean cotton at that. Even at 20) cents according to what they have heretofore said; a bunch. at this time vught to bring only $2.00. —WV. U. Argus. The Accident on the Wil. ard Weldon Railroud.—We learn frow Mr. Blaney, Conductor on the above Road, that the reported casnalties by the accident near Muaguolia on Saturday last, have been greatly exaggerated. There was one man, a colored brakeman, killed, and he wae standing on the phatform. Two others, soldiers, somewhat injured, but not seriously.

But of yourselves yon are not able to do these things; so you mi read your Bible, and learn what Jesus says. “Ask and it shall given.” Then again, speaking by his servant, he says. ‘“/dove them that love me, and they that seek me early shall find me.” You must pray God to give you a clean heart, a loving, and forgiving spirit; must ask him to make your heart his dwelling place, that le may keep it from all wickedness. being granted, you, my dear little , friends, will be fiitted for the com. | panionship of angels, and the like: | ness of God, where ald ix bright in| Leaven.

The regulutign’ af, gur crops for another yur is Sigaging ‘the atten- tion of the planters and farmers of the Sunth. The general conclusion @ar on this subjest apears to be that it. will bea better policy to caltivate | grain and raise stock than te plaut cotton, This conclusion is strengthened by a number of coneiderations which apply pecullarly to the coming year. It is now well ascertained that, while. the corn yield per acre was uetan average one this year, the wheat) crop Was alinost an ewtire fatlure.— Many famers and planters, itis true, | have made what would be for thei, ordinarily, a two or three years sup ply; bat the shortness of the wheat crop, and the wants of the less for- tunate will materially affect then, | and shorten their supply. Corn will be ueeded far the horses, mules and cattle, which we shall be compelled to raise now that weare cat off from Kentucky and the Northwest. very clear, especially in view of the present scarcity of provision sup plies, that to meet future exigencies, the cultivation of grain and the rais- ing of awine, cattle, sheep, and hors- es and inules, shoald be persistently and extensively enguged in and en- couraged in the cotton States during the war. Cotton can supply bat part of the clothing for oor army aud vone of the tood; while grain is essential to the production of that which affords the clothing and ac tually sustains life. There is no doubt that the stock of cotton now in the Soath is heavy enough, even if recoguition should take place before pianting tme, without putting in next year more than will be needed tor domestic | we. Our information leads us to the conclusion that cotton bas been nore extensively planted this year than is generally supposcd. We think it safe to assume that there are now between threcand four til- lions of bales of cotton of the crop of 1861, in the South. We think it safe to ussu ne, further, that between tive and ten hundred thousand bales have been raised this year. With this stock on hand it would be crim- inally fuulish, in the event of a con- Uinuatiou of the war, to plant the Dreandth of land in cotton which is} ments of our army in Virginia,-which, of | pillage of New Orleans, caused it to be ad» course, huve been the subject of some pop- | usual'in time of peace. The people of the cotton States have already paid: much more at- ception than formerly to the raising of all kinds of stock, and there is now growing a large uumber brood animals, intented to sapply the future wants of the army daring the war, and ef the people after- wards, These, of course, will re- quire larger crops of grain than have usually been cultivated, to say noth: Ing of the great and imperative de inands of the army. There appears to be & popular no- | ton that the object with which our, government has sought to divert the industry of the country from the pro- duction of cotton, is by the suspen- sion of that crop to compell Eng: land to break up the blockade, im It is! ae x From nearly every district in the South, we hear complaints of short grain-crops, suggesting an enlarged necessity for measures en the part of the planting and farming interest of the South, to secure for the next year the the ge sistence. Te wif he time enongh to consider the prapriety of pinnitie cotton when we have pleaty of : tle, swine, horses, mules and vrais to make us independent of all for: eign sources of supply, | The South Carolina papers state that the seaseu in that State was fanarred by a droaght, and in manny parts of the State the corn crop was seriously injured, se that there will be no superabundance, and scarcely ctnore than was produced last year fromanuch less lind planted in that vreatest of cereals. The production bof rice, too, this year, has been cur- tailed toa considerable extent, by the removal of planters from the tide water region. Stull the season for rice bas been good, and those whe have planted have generally It suved, the rice crop will very materially aid in support- hing one people and the army collec ted for our defence. It is to be hoped that the authorities will af- ford every facility and co operation in making this large resource of sub- sistence available. Rich.

In such circumstances, the re- i Lirement of our army has no quality of re- treat and many of good geveralship. It presents the advantage of weakening the jeaeuy by lengthening his lines of com- | flames. In this matter we must trust much to the ciscretion and: vigilanve of our mili- tary commanders ; but rf to theee was add: ed a rule to punish with death those who succeed by contrivances in selling it to go | | North, we would have then, and not until | then, we would have a perfect assurance of the safety of the cotton of the South | | from the hands the enemy. The Yankess have been most adroit in | their management to obtain con from the | | invaded districts of the Suuth. They give | to this articie a peculiar distinctiun ; they | will not confiscate it; their policy is to buy it and pay for it in geld. The object | of this maguanimity of the tempter is sim- | ply to hole out inducements to the plan- | ters not to destroy their cotton, It will , be recolled that Butler, in the midst of his \ { } | | | | | vertised that he respect even “rebel” own: | ‘ership in all the cotton brought to its | wharves, and make retarns to the planter | iin gold. The device proceeded on the | isupposition that there were men in the | | South base and avaricious enough to sell ; | their country, Unfortunately this supvo | isition has been realized to an extent we | had little imagined. If we wish to keep our cotton this wine | iter out of Yankee clutches, we must first | \take severe and vigilant measures nyainst | | the contraband and: unpatriotic trade that | supplies the enemy through a number of | | keen and avaricious contrivances.

It is to be hoped that the wild, wicked passion for gold will not cat much further to the patriotism and morals of our evun. try; and that argamente whieh involve urvat and intricate pubtic interests.are not longer to be put duwn by a weak rant about bard money. The South can do without gold, The North cannot do with out cotton. We should hold the latter with a miser’s vripe. We should destroy it, rather than it should be captured by the enemy. As he is about to take pos— session of any portion of our country, let our commanders put the torch to the cot ton and have a halter for those who, pre tending to hide thyir property to keep it from the Yankees, are really hiding it for them, The power of cotton will never be realized, as dong -as we permit it to. slip ‘through our fingers to the North and Eu- rope. If we succeed in keeping it within a strict blockade for only a few months longer, we may yet realize that “Cotton is King”; that its power is not vanished, and has never vet been fairly tested. Rich. Examiner. EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. Some reference was made in this paper a few days age to the value of Eastern North Carolina as a source of food for our army and people, When it is also considered as a ques- tion of revenue, to enadle the gov- ernment to carry on the war, and ultimately to pay the war debt, its protection against the ravages of the Yankeea becomes a question of the Utmost Importance. There are already in the enemy's possession twelve counties in North Carolina. Lt appears that the mis yinided policy which allowed the en- emy to enter Hatteras has, besides the misfortane it involved in the sac- ritices of Norfolk and untold injury to Virginia, been the ruin of twelve counties in Eastern North Carolina of great value to the South for their bread and meat, and entailed a loss in this State not less than twenty- five million dollars in slaves. The following counties lie upon and east of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, not inthe evemy’s lines.

I[v’e noticed vn the stair. cave-and in the hall and lobby, a lovely child, who seemed to wander about xsitsown sweet will; sume tiuses citting wearily on the stairs, sliyvat asleep; then dvitering at the kitchen door, watching the opera- tivns of the cook; then peeping into the half open dovrs of the different apartments. As. by a rule of the huuse, ‘uo children permitted at the table, it was eometine before | could tell who claimed this little stray wait. .

Au aniwated conversation sour eveued uboat birds, flowers and pictares—lis large blue eyes yrow- ing bright, aod his cheek flushing with pleasure, as stoty followed story, while he eat upon my knee. At length I said to him, ‘Charlie, won't mamma be anxicus about you, if you etay go long? Q, no, said he, ‘Lizzie don’t care.’ ‘Who's Lizzie?’ . Why, ‘ny mamma! She don’t care if 1am only ont ofthe way.— Lizzie made me this pretty dress,’ said be, holding op his richly em- broidered frock; ‘but Lizzie dou’t know any stories, and she says I ain a bore. What isa bore? said the sweet child, looking trustiogly in my face. . ‘Never mind, now.’ said I tearful- ly; ‘you may stay with me when- ever you like, and we will be very goed friends.’ The dinner bell sounding, a gayly dressed young thitig vociferated, in a voice anything but musical, ‘Char- lie, Charlie! . When I apologized for keeping bim, she said carelessly, as elit rearranged ber bracelets, O, it don’t signify, if you have patience with him, he’s so tiresome with his questions.

It gives no less than two columns to a review of the historical work enti- tled the “First Year of the War,” from the press of these Richmond publishers, and does not disynise its surprise that a work of such mag- nitude and excellence as a history could be produced inthe South. It guys: “The style is excellent, and occasionally brilliant, and ‘portions of the work are marked by 4 spirit of candid admission and fair criti- cis which could hardly have been expected iu a Seuth side view of the Rebellion. Compared with the eXuggerations marking the newspa- per iiterature of the South since the war Commenced, there is a wide dit: ferance in its favour on the score of truth.” This is rather an extraordi- nary illustration of Northern fairness and compliment, and affords an in- stance of the respect which the Southern people are daily yaining in the North, rot only” by their prowess in war, but by their aroused enterprise in’ literature, manutac- tures, arts, and everything that pro- claune them as an independent na- lon.

The following | dines were writtea while Jackeon wus an artil- tery officer in Mexico curiag the war betweea | the United States and that country : MY W&PE AND CHILD. The tattoo beats—the lights are gone, ‘The camp arougd in slumber lics The night with solemn pace moves on, Tie shadows thicken o’et the skiex ; But sleep my weary eyes hath flown. And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. I think of thee, oh, dearest one, W hose love my early life hath blest— Of thee and him—var baby sun— Who slumbers on thy gentle breast. God of the tender, frail »nd lone, Oh, guard the tender sleeper's rest. And hover gently, hover near To her, whose watchful eye is wee— | ‘To mother, wife—thé doubly dear, { In whose young heart have freshly met ‘Two streams of love so deep and clear And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Now, white she kneels before Thy Throne, Oh, teach her, ruler of the skies, That, while by Thy betrst alone, Earth’s mightéest powers fall or rise, No tear is wept te Thee unknown, No huir is lost, no sparrow dies! | { | \ ( That Thou can’st stay the ruthless hands Of dark disease, and sooth ite pain; That only by Thy stern commands The battte'’s lost, the soldier's slain— That from the distane sea or land Thou bring’st the wanderer home zgatn. | And when upon her pdlow lone Her tear-wet cheek is sadly prest, May happier’ vistons beam upon The brightening turrent of het breast No frowning louk nor augry tone, Disturb the Sabbath of her rest. Whatever fate those forms may show, Loved with a passion almost wild— By day—by night—in joy or woe— Ry fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled, From every danger, every foe, Oh, God! protect my wife and child!

One of the strangest of the many re- markable exhibitions of popular senti- ment which this war has mades, tn the lit- Ue sympathy offered in Kentocky and and MaryJand to our armies which recent: lyin large forve, visited those Statea.— Looking back, without the allusions of en- thusiasm, at the demonstrations made in those States in presence of our army, and estimating them at their Proper worth, we are forced to confess that they were feeble: that they afforded us no considerable ara- terial vid, and but lidle moral é ment. Empty hurratirand™ ‘i flag» in sight of oor armies, and letters from female sympathizers, are pot quite sufticient testimonies ‘of Southern, patriotssm and devotion, When our ar- nies crossed into Maryland and Kentucky, they expected something wore than that ladies should wave pocket handkerchiefs at them. and that # few hundred men should join their standards, rigged for a camp hunt, and willing o play the part of faney soldiers for two or three weeks,.— They expected that large bodies of recruits would flock to their standards; that the people of Kentucky and Maryland would risk both property and life in redéeming themselves from a tyranny which had spared them in neither, and which it might well be supposed had become ut- terly intolerable. % * * * The facts show that neither in Mary- land norfin Kentucky did our armies find any substantial encouragemen., in acces- sivns to their forces or in contributions of materigl aid. The display of verbal sym- pathy in these States was doubtless abus- dant enough; but it lacked the fuléil- ment of action. The People were quite willing that we should emancipate them ; they preferred the South .to the North, but they were not prepared for » mere preference to risk life and fortune. This is fprobably the chief canse of the cau- tious reception given to our armies in Maryland and Kentucky. The dread of Yankee vengeance and love of were too powerful to make them risks against these in favour of a cause for which they had a mere preference, without an attachments to it higher than those of sel- fish calculation, * * * * * The only just explanation that can be furnished of the abject attitude of these States is, that having taken the first steps of submission to a pitiless despotism, they bave been easily corrupted into its sub- jects. It is wonderful bow easily the spir- it of @ community is crushed by submis- sion to tyranny ; bow the practice of non- resistance makes of men crawling crea- tures, The mistake is in makirg the first step of submission ; when that is sccom- plished, demoralization becomes rapid, and the bravest community sinks into emasen- lation.

IT would impress upou my little readers the truth that their behavior in church speaks wore aboat their qualities of head and heart and stow wore of the faithfulness or un- faithfulness of their parents than al- Moet anything else. A child who nvisbehaves in church does a yreat unkindness to its parente as well us injures its own character. The fol- lowing rules I hope you will not forget. Always comply with the rules of the congregation in which you wor. ship. If they kneel—you should kneel too: If they stand you shoul J also stand. Never laugh or put on a light and mirthful expression in church. Never turn round to gaze at any one who comes in after you have taken your seat. ° Do not stare abont at the people in the church. Listen to the minister and look at him so that he will kuow that yon listen. The minister is often de- lighted by little bright, innocent eyes peeping athim in childish beauty and interest. Do not yawn in charch. Be sure you do not go to sleep in eburch. Never go out of the church dur ing the service unlese you are com- pelled to doso. It is a sure mark of bad raising to break either of these last two rules. Never talk in church. Be as quiet and move about as little as possible—during the ser- * vice. Show to all that you know you are in the holy sanctuary of your Heavenly Father and remember that itis your duty when there to be serious and prayerful. , poor, benighted eyeballs toward the Thus while the last beautiful flowers are ceiling, while an angelic expression extortioners are chats hing it on every side. er, taking a Bi- table, pla bands. “What is this, mother!” in- quired’ the disconsolate little girl. “It is the Bible, my child.” Imne- diately a score of its consolatory passayes presented themselves to her mind. She paused, turned her played on her countenance, and then as if filled with the holy Spirit, breathed forth an impassioned, bur scarcely aadible whisper—* 7hy will be done on canth asit sin Heaven.” RELIANCE UPON GOD. The Chattanooga Medel has the following : Nothing is more evident in this war than that those Generals who put their trust in God are the most tortupate aud successful. Alimost every victury has been “won under the lead of Generals who feared Gou, but wot man, whilst almost every de- feat bas been under Generals who were bot God- honoring aud God- serving wen. We kuow there are suiwe who think and assert that the Alwighty bas vothing to do with this coutest, and that a wicked and profane General, if he is a brave man and skillful officer, can accou- plish as much as ove of piety and reverence. Facts do not sustain this opinion, We admit that vo matter bow pious a General may be, if be has no capacity aud no courage, he can vot be expected tu win victories; but ifuther things b& at all equal, the Geueral who trusts in God will always prove the nore success!ul, as the history of this war bas thus far clearly demonstrated. Lee and Jackson are the two great Generale of the war, by common consent, aud they are the two men! most rewarkable for their religions | elevation. Beauregard, too, who, we are satistied, is one of the great men of this revolution is a man who feels his dependance on an Almighty Power. We could meution several | vther bright and shining examples of men of this description. On the con- trary, where have we sustained a signal defeat that a General, who was notoriously a profane swearer or a drunkard was not highest in com- mand? We admit that sometimes wicked men may gain victories, but these are the exceptions and not the general rule. Congress has passed an act making drunkenness among vificers a ground for their removal ; and yet, are there vot iigh ofticers | who get drank and are not punish- , ed? : : ———— | South Carolina Troops.— We learn | by statements in South Carolina pa- pers that that State has altogether but fitteen shousand soldiers in Vir- gina and in Bragy’sarmy.

In relations to ordnance stores, I will men- tion that nearly aSyear ago, a contract was tuade by my predecessor, under an act of the Legislature appropriating $10,000 for the purpose, with Messrs, Wateiouse & Bowes, lur the erection of powder mills. The money was expended, the mills erected and soon af- terwards blown up and destroyed. Gov. Clark agreed to -urmsh them the means to start again; and under anew contract they have erected other mills and are now nearly in the Hastern counties at moderate prices, | and is in danger of destruction by the enemy, Jif not remoced at an early day. Anticipat- Ing the necessity of this measure, and also thinking it proper in a nnilitary point of view to have surplus on hand, I have already or- dered the busiding of large eribs on the N. ©. Road, and made other prelimivary arrange- ments for purchasing on a kirge scale. { deem this a matter of the very lighest linportance.’ Nothing would so cheer and encourage our soldiers in the discharge of | duty, as to know that their State was pro- viding for those at home dearer to them than life; and nothing would sPdispirit and de- inoralve them as to kKuow that those dear | ones were salfertig, ludeed, the soldier, e shivering through the snows of the comig winter and offering us blood day by day for our detence, has a right to expect that lis country will not per- mit) his wife and little ones to ery in vain for bread: and while there is a morsel in the | land it should be divided with them. 1 beg | you, therefore, Geutlemen, to make such pro- visions as you imAy deein best i reference to the matter, and atas carly a day as possible, and let the gratifying assurance go forth to the camps of Sur armies that the wives and elnldren of ‘our soldiers shall not suffer so | lony as their State has money or food to give } them.

Clark is to be refunded in four equal anuual instalments, and that by me by re- serving 10 per cent of the payments (as they became due) on powder to be furrished the State. the mills with aboat 3,000 pounds of mitre per week, The department has contracted wah man nfacturers in the State for about 300 new vi- fles per month, and arrangements have been made whereby, after the stot January, about 300 old rifles and muskets oul of repair will be rendered fit for service. And it is hoped the department will soon be able to keep on hand a supply for five thousand men. A de tailed report of the operations of the Adju- tant General's department 1s herewith ap- yeaded, . The Gnances of the State will doubtless en- | gage your anxious consideration, The Beard of claims, in pursuance of Ordi- nance No, 20, Seo 6, passed in December, 1861, have made a report showing the debr of the State on the 3Qth Sept. 1862, to be $20,983,361 Ot, sudject to be diminished by \ the amontt of the sinking fund; at that time ' aboat $900,000; and the debe due the Siate During the administra- from the Confederate government, between | Taxes ree’d trom permanent five and six millions, Sall the State debe is very heavy, and the interest at least ought to be punctually paid, There are three dijguinet modes of supplying the requisite sum ; "One by taxation, a second by an additoual issue of treasury notes, and a third by getting from the Confederate Government the sum’ due the State. Indeed this sum, when received, ought to be apphed forthwith to the extin- gaishment of the State, as far as it will go; tor it constitutes # part of the Capital of the State debt, and onght to be applied, when re- turned, towards the extinction of that amount of its capital. Upon cerrect principles there- tore of fiuancial ecouomy, the debt ongbtarat to be allowed to grow any largenyaf-practica- ble to prevent it, And it the payment of the entire amount of interest: cannet be provided for by taxation, as much at least, as possible. ought to be so raised. In regard to the sub- ject of taxation, interesting at all times, and rendered doubly so at this eventhil crisis, | have but few remarks to umke. There has been such a disturbance in the industrial pur- suits of the country within a very recent pe- riod, that itis difficult tor one, who may nol at once have been present in all parts of the State, to fully realize it. You bring with you this knowledge, and can better apply it from what you have seep than trom what I can re- commend, 1 shall therefore ventnre out one suggestion Upon the subject, because of what I have heard. , . By ordinance No. 22, of June 1861, which is-now a@ part of the Constitution of the State, it is provided that land and slaves shall be taxed according to thei value, and the val- ues of both taxed alike; and that the tax on slaves nay be laid on taeir veneral average value in the State, or ou their valne in chass- jus In respect to age, Sex or other distmetive | properties, in the diseretion of the Generel Assembly, and the value be assessed in sach modes as may be prescribed by law, Now while lands, even of the same qualities, bat jsitnate in diferent places, from their local ang Womovable character are properly assessed at | different rates, because of their relative prox - imity to inarkets and for other substantia causes; and for such reasons the General Assembly itsell, can veither accurately value real estate, nor can do so. by any generyl State comunssiovers, Vely Some sleps may be taken towards equalizing the tax on slaves, which, under the present mode’ of assess- ments, ay be, and I understand is, various in many counties of the State, because of the different standard of valuation adopted by the owners and assessors. It is very desirable that the tax should be umfonn, and I suggest as the most likely means to aeconiplish that object, the propricty of classilying slaves by their age, or by sex and age, and affixing wo years the taxable value of each class. [icon- sequence of the moveable quality of this spe- civs of property, itis not subject to the ireg- ularity of assessmeet, which attend laud; the value of slave property at any one place im the State is, for all pmctical purposes, the same as in any other; and itis not diffienlt therefore to make the tax both equitl and uni- form by the classification of slaves un she tnan- ner already mentioned. . Under the discretion: v powers vested by the Constitution inthe Legislature to exempt the infirm and distinguish the mechanic from the field laborer, it appears to me that the le- gislative assessment, discreetly made, will conduce better than the present mode to a nniform taxation thronghout the State. Hach county ig interested that a taxable value of alaves shonld be alike in all the counties, and whatever tends to equalize that on land, in- asmuch a» both species of property must be taxed alike on their respective values. A precedent for this mode of taxing slaves, how- ever iipertect, may be found in the leyisla- tion of 1782, ch. 8. e In order to meet the interest on the pub- lie debt, and to make up the sum due from 4 destruction of property, ‘&e.

The duty at: present rests on the State Treasuer, and the law re- qnires him to keep the fund, and evidence of debt, separate aud apart fron any tends in his hands, The duty. could mueli tore con- venientiy and effectually be perforthed by the Board's own officers, When the emoun of this fond is considered, (the aunual disburve- wuents being dduble that of the whole State Govern nent two years ago,) with the further fact that twice a reasonable salary of a Trea- surer has been lost aunnally for waut of sume competent and proper offiver to look after and cofect the debts of the Board, 1. feel assured that the adopiion of the suggestion would-be ob material advantage to the interests, 1 bey leave to oake certain suggestions in regard to niilitia aud to aiding 4he Ounleder- ate authorities mm enforcing their efforts tw inaimtain the officers of our aries. The ordinary penalties preturbed by oar Militia laws for the panishnient of offenves, disobedience of orders, &., adapted ta peace times, are found now entirely indeqnadle, Wishing to spare our citisens the disagreea- ule spectable of Confederate soliiers travars} ing the country to gather ap delinqnent eun- sc'ipts, deseiters and absentees from the ar- yy without leave, I decided to employ the Militia for that purpose. In eae it: has answered admirably, most of the Officers having displayed yreat zeal and efficiency in gathering up rapidly all persons salyect to military duty withuut offending the sensibili- ties DF our people, But, in some instances, deserters and other shirking characters, have det the officers at defiance, and areenabled to evade arrest by the assistance of others who conceal them, feed them, and, in sume cases, resist the officers in the, discharge of their duty. : As the crime of desertion, so far as I know, is hot an offence against the common lav, 80 the concealing. aiding, and assisting a desert- er to avoid recapture ig not punishable in our courts, ‘I'o aid the military authorities im ar- resting such persons, | recogrmend that ap act be passed for the panishment of any one “who shall aid and assiat them, or if any man- ner prevent their redapture ; and aise to pun- ish more severely the disobedience of orders by the Militia. It alsy becomes my daty, gentlemen, to bring to your attention several serious mat- ters connected with the admmnistration of Justice in the State, There is great danger of lawlessness -‘orer- running the land; and in the great abund- ance of inilitary rolers and arbitrary authon- ty, people are beginning to forget that there is still sneha thing we existence as ctetl law, which is the master of us all.

The pour, ignorant, but generous child ofthe forest bent his head in sorrow ‘and meditated.

The power of religion in promot- ing happiness in this life, and in dis- arming death of its terror, has sel- ‘dem been more beantifully illus trated thun in the example of Wil: Ham Wirt, Attorney-General of the United States. When a young man, Jdst “comingncing his professional eurver, he-was distinguished for his genigg, bie Goquence, his fascinat- yng powers f conversation, and his iehed ‘anvers. In every circle ‘adeidty” was courted. Fond of pleasure; und the centre of attrac: “tiotl oftevery covivial party, he was - Meving for the joys of this short life; and. wus in: great danger of being ingalfed in that vortex of worldli peas aud fashion where so many thonsands have perished. ot While thus living, as he was on one of bia professional circuits as 4 lawyer, he passed a Sabbath where the celebrated Blind Preacher of Virgenia wae to preach.

He has it, where alone happiness can be ject of philanthropy he consecrated ‘are always filled, he humbly, yet ~ a a visited ‘ And bis benig nant éountenance proclaifed that he had eoaght happiness and found He became the advocate of Christian wiesions, and to every ob- found, the energica of his noble mind. 4 Though n@eessarily called to mowe in the highest circles of opulence and intellect, and to encoumer the teipptations with which those circles foirless!y sustained lis character as a disciple of Jesus Christ, aud gave bis commanding tefluence unreeer ly and constantly for the promeven of piety. Revered by the commu nity, and loved alinost to devotion hy a wide circle of frends, he spent his days in dog good, And when the dying hour caine, hope and joy beamed trom lis.eye, brhant with alinost celestial vision, as the glories of his heavenly home were unfolded to lis view. TLis body lias Jong ago mingled with the Gust, and hie epir- it hus long dwelt, we trust, with the God who gave it. Such are the effects of religion. — Intidelity can show no tr umphs.

STANLY COUNTY. A bobler band of patriots and conserva- tives can not be found than we have inStanlyCounty.A correspondent writing us from that County says: “There is not a speculator in Stanly.—There are two tan-yards,and the onwnershaverefusedtotakemorethan$1 per ib. for leather,while they have been offered $2.50.Ihope you will quit abusing the tanners as the chief of sinners.” Our correspondent is mistaken.We have said no more about extortion in leath- er than in other articles,and if all the tan- ners of the State will do as the Stanly tan ners are doing,we shall only speak of them as meriting public confidence aud approval.—fal.Standard. Cotton Cards.—“A manufacturer”says through the Atlanta Confederacy that be has visited the Cotton Card Factory of Messrs.Divine,Jones &Lee,at Carters ville,Ga.,and that it is a complete success. He thinks it of the utmost importance that many other such factories be established, under State and*Confederate authority,as individuals cannot control either machine- ry or workmerr,for,besides the common cotton cards,the Cotton Factories will sovn be stopped for the waht of °card clothing,”and that would be a terrible ca- lamity,and it would cut otf even the pre sent inadequate supply of clothing for the soldiers and the people.—Fay.Ob. @ Among the arrivals yesterday st the Ballard Hotel we noticed that of Colonel Wm.M.Peyton,of Roanoke county,Vir- yinia.At the time of the outbreak of the war Col.Peyton was holding a prominent and lucrative position in the city of New York,but,on the secession of Virginia,he promptly and patriotically resigned,and united his fortunes with those of his native State,leaving bebind him one of the most beautiful suburban residences around N. York,and one of the most valuable libra- ties,which had been collected by him withgreatcareandexpense.Col.Peyton is well known throughout the State,and 1s one of the few representatives left of the ‘old Virginia gentleman.” A Good Man.—We learn that the Rev. py,determine to devote yonr life wisely to Coing goed—to trying to| ligbten the evils that afflict others| and to make them happy.He who ‘in a good sense does all the good he | can—sgurely gets the most good he| can.~Remember that an angel is writing’your history and that it will all ‘be seen and read by all men im the day of Judgment.‘How care- ful then ought you to be!”Re- member that yoar eternal life de- pends on the manner in which you apend this life.Be praverful,hope- ful,useful.And now,praying our| Father to bless you in this and in the world to come,I bid you a warm but reluctant adieu.A.W.M. aa q DEATH OF HUGH JONES GASTON.| We record with much regret the death ofHughJonesGaston,Adjutant of the 48thregimentN.C.Troops.He was woundedinthebattleofSharpsburg,in his shoulder| +place about the second week in Ootober last.Adjutant Gaston was the youngest son ofAleaxnderGaston,Esq.,who was the onlysonoftheHon.William Gaston.His onlybrotherWilliamGaston,was killed by the,Indians near Fort Walla,some four or five ears since,in his first engagement;andughreceivedhisdeathwoundinhisfirstengagementatSharpsburg.Hugh JonesGastonwasthelastmaleofthename._IIisShorgrandfather,the father.of The Hon.filiam Gaston fell in the revolntionary war,having been “inhumanly murdered by the|Tories,”in the words of Mr.Macon,and“baptizing,as it were,his son in his bload”as he fell..Adjutant Gaston was physically exempt|from military duty,but at the beginningof |hostilities he voluuteered as a private in anartillerycompanyatMemphis,’:emainedthereuntilhisnativeStatewasthreatenad,when he returned and ofered his services toher.He was a young gentleman of fine edu-cation,modest,intelligent,and brave.Hisdeath,adds aiother to the long catalogue ofvgstandbestyoungmen,who havebtncut.off by this war.—Raleigh Standard,’ oe - Bank of Newbern has declared a se- ual dividend of 3 1-2 per cent.on its John Swicegood,a Minister of the Zospel in the Lutheran Church,and a citizen of Davidson County,is in addition to his ministerial!character,a farmer and the owner of agrist mili,This gentleman,in defiance of the wicked and hellish spirii of speculation,habitually refuses every offer to sell produce for 4 greater amount than, tke old prices.Indeed,we have it upon yood authority,that he retains all his sur- plus produce for the wives and children of soldiers,and those who are bereft and des- titute.. By a course of this kind this good man and true patriot may vot extend his fields or increase stores upon earth,but venly he is winning acres in heaven.And we reckon,with his small profits and con- |sciousness of doing rivht,he is far hap- pier than he who gloats upon his thous- ands,wrenehed by éxtortion Gud specula- tion from the pockets of the destitute.

But of the war, there is only ‘a horrid sound of | silence’ in the Message. That * peace has not returoed,’ and that ‘all they had tu do was to press un,’ and incidentally ano allusion to ‘cettain reverses, is the chief information ou this absorbing subject, af Next | to the war, what one most naturally seeks | turded by Lincoln to his Congress, and hopes to find in this document, ix a view of the Huances, But on this all-im- portant topic, the Messave is worse than barren, aud less informing than even si- lence would be; for that portion of the! paper is evidently intended, not as a source of intelligence, but as « blind to the truth. Not cuntent with muddling the figures of the balance sheet of the United States so | far as its receipts and expenditures ave presented at all, the unpaid accounts of | the country are [eft as completely out of | view as if they did not exist, while the de- preciation of the currency is not only ig- nured, but denied with stupid impudence. ‘The public credit, says Lincoln, * has: been fully maiatained.” It is difficult to decide whether such yu declaration, from an oficial chiet to a public necessarily infurm- ed on the condition of the national credit by the daily employment of its promises to pay in the common affairs of life, should excite most of amazement or of indigua- tion, [ua countey where gold and silver are the constitutional standards of value, the citizen who reads the message the Chief Magistrate has only to turn his eye from the official page of the newspaper which contains it, to the column present ing the daily report of the money market, and he finds that the promise. of the Uni- ted States to pay a hundred is only worth seventy dollars of real money. Such at- tempts at deception are worse than clum sy and dull. They are shameless and dis- graceful. Yet their criminality is less re marKable than their folly. But while the message is empty of eve- tything clse, it is full of Abolition. Of the extraordinary proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, in September, declaring all the slaves in the Southern Confederacy emancipated, by bis individual authority, on the first of next January, he says noth- ing; and his silence here is not less siy- nificant than on the military events of the year. Perhaps he himself has arrived at the idea that the said proclamation was simply the unmeaning utterance of idiocy. Perhaps even a Verbal Justification of that direct contradiction to the instrument which makes the sole distinction bettveen himself and any other private blackguard in the State of Illinois, is too much for his brain in its present enfeebled condition, or the stomach of such auditors even as he bas in the so-called Congress of the United States. However that be, he says nothing at all of the great re in that Proclamation, or of its probable effect, or ‘pou-effect, on the first of January. But othe Cuited States pensated Kinaucipation, will be not only | cheap, but excecdiugly pratitable, both to | the North and tothe South. The pro- cess by which it is proven that the disso- lution of the United States is ‘physically’ inpossible, because vavigable rivers can he bridged, and geographical boundaries stepped over, need only be remarked as a| marvel of ignorance and silliness. The} force of folly can no farther vo. Has the successor of Washington tever seen a map of Europe?

What is that something 4 Nothing less than a ‘With- drawal,’ by the martiue powers, of that re- cognition ax 4 ‘belligerent, which they ‘un- wisely and unnecessarily’ accorded to the | Southern Confederacy tin the beginving of “our dumestic difficulties.” Abraham, Sew- lard and Chase were quite contident, in last June, that Europe would forthwith cease to recognize the South as a fighting power, aod that on the loss of that important dis- tinction and privilege, she would at once lay down ber arms in despair, and so end the war. ‘But the temporary reverses,’ quoth Abe, ‘which afterwards befel the na- tional arms, and which were exaggerated | by our own disloyal citizens abroad, have hitherto delayed that act of simple justice.” | | ) { | | ( 1 } The Spirit of Sonthern Women.—A friend, says the Columbia South Caroli- nian, on x committee to collect the names of non-combatants it Charleston} in anti- | cipation of their removal, informs us that | many of the women positively refuse to leave the city under anv circumstances de- clariug that they ean carry powder, water, | &e., to the troops, and are determined to } remain during a bombardinent. erable lady of sixty said she would prefer that General Beauregard should send her One ven- a musket instead of an order to leave as she could use it, and would not then be a non-combatant. Why McClellan Did not Advance after the battle of Sharpsburg, er Antietam, as it is called in the Northern journals, is fully ex- plained by a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Zimes, who states that, that bat- tle had so crippled General McClellan that he could not move for the want of troops.

Nashville might have heen taken at any time afer Gen. Breck- inridge arrived at Murfreesboro’, until the reinforcement of the garris¢n after Brage’s aud Chattanooga are vot th danger. It is the opinion of intelligent gentlemen, demand for its surrender, within that time, would have been obeyed by the Federal General commanding. Since almost. the Geveral Buell, and before which General | Bragg abandoned Kentucky, is in Nash | ville or its vicinity, itis not probable that | our generals bave thought of an attack.— | Expectations of an engagement near Mur- freesboro’ are based upon the idea enter- tained of Rosencrans’ enterprise, and the belief that public sentiment in the North will force him, even if reluctant, tu give us battle at whatever point we may wait for him. But he knows we caunot attack him, and he does not intend to engage our for- ces. He could accomplish nothing by it. If he were to engage our army at Tulla- homa, the chances of victory would be decision, of character, in his generalship, in fortune; and however gloomy the period of thd field.

The probability is, Uiat in less than thirty days the warin rajus lately fatling in that quarter will give water for their gun- boats in every navigable stream in the West; and with these he hopes to bold Nashville. On the Mississippi the mightiest ener- gies of the Abolition power in the West ure to be concentrated for a final struggle. All other movements, except that against this. And Rosencrans, amusiuyg the Con- federates with heavy skirmishing in frout, and demonstrations on their flank, and threatening Knoxville with General G, W. Morgan from Louisvilie, is only massing his men in a proper position to enable bim, when the hour comes, to move past Frank- lin and Columbia to the ‘leunessee River at or below Florence, crossing which on bridges prepared by General Grant, the forces of the two Abolition commanders will be united, when they hope to over- whelm Pemberton and Price, capture Vicksburg aud every fortified point on the river, which wil) be covered with their guo- boats, and from this base line direct their course Westward and Southward.

Mwy we vot hope that these happy days of purity and virtue have not | past. We notice that many papers in the South have entered the lists iv favour of homespun and other industrial enterprises of our ladies. The Southern (Sparta, Louisiana) Ban+ ner says that nearly every family iu the parish ‘are spinning and weaving their own winter clothing. Families who, twelve months ago, bought all their kerseys and jeans, are turuivg out a prettier and more substantial article at howe. Nearly every parlour in the country is graced with a “ Georgia piauo,” and its merry votes can be heard from early dawn till dusk. If the blockade prevents the ladies from donning silks, they can manu- facture their own cotton siripes, and do not blush to be seen wearing them.

There is no dress more becoming our young ladies in these war times than the above. They may prefer silks and satins, delaines and merinoes, and rig themselves off in jewelry, like an Indian squaw— but give us the girl in the calico dress, or, what is better; homespun. All honor and praise to the fair Souhern women! May the future historian, when be comes to write of this war, fail not to award them their due share of praise for their noble et- forts in helping us to achieve Southern freedoin and Southern Independence. Richmond Mxramine?. There are no times for “sells” or prac- tical Jukes on matters affecting tbe best in- terests of the country, and the parties in dulying in them ought to be exposed, and- if not otherwise punished, at least they ought to be held up to public reprobation. A case in point is the alleged discovery of an inexhaustible supply of salt at Opelika, Alabama. Who started tbat tmiserable, witless and contemptible hombug! Who was Governor Pickens’ telegraphic corres- pondent, promising to supply the whole State of South Carojino with salt ‘from this source, at five dallars a bushel, ‘deliv- ered at Augusta?

Thus they are dragging along in utter wretch- edness, and suffering more than pen can express, Such is Northern sympathy for the ne- gro.

We learn, that on last Saturday even- ing, an affair of some interest took’ place with the enemy in the neighbothood of Snickersville. It appears that dW that por- tion of our lines the pickets of the Mary- land cavalry, under Majer White, were driven jn by a force of tiie suemy, moving ~ from the direction of Aldie, being a por- tion of the brigade commanded by the somewhat notorious Perey Wyndham.— The enemy followed into our camp,. and were plundering it, when they were charged by the Twelfth Virginia. A sharp. fight ensued, in which we lost some sevén or eight killed and fifteen or twenty prisoners. The loss of the enemy is said to hayé been equivalent to our own.

We.xre glad to know that of the recent appoinfinents in General Jagkson’s army, one at least gives testimony of well deser- ved promotion and future usefulness. Rich, Evaméper ‘ Tired of the War,—A special corres pandent of the Chicago 7tmes, . writing from Bolivar, Tennessee, states that the Federal troops received the news of Dem- vcratic victories with the highest grati#- cation. The jov was not confined to Dem- ocrats, but the Republican soldiers largely participated in it. The truth is, says the writer, that pine tenths of the army want peace. Were peace declared to-day their shouts would fairly rend the beavens, and those shouts would warm the pulses of tens of thousands of loved ones at home. The same writer says that another thing is creating much dissatisfaction among the troups is that “ they receive no pay.” Promotion tn the Army.—The Presi- dent can uever do justice to the army or the cause in his military promotions and | appointments, until he acts upon the Na- poleonic idea of making merit as displayed by actual deeds the basis af both. It is a bad sign when men rub their eyes with wonder and ask themselves what in the name of Mars has this man done to de- serve to be made a Brigadier or a Majot General. President.

A loag dine of horsemen, their bayonets glitering iu the suo, and the bright blue tagtof the Old Dominion waving above them; wound their way up the torturous ascent of a neighboring height. At their head towered the commanding form of their lion-hearted chief, Major Gen. Floyd. ‘That. dauntless sou of a heroic race was leading his bold mountuineers towards the enemy, when all save him aud his devoted band had retired to positions of yreater security aud comfort in the interior.

Be Epo What shail we substitute for guano? ‘F propose ‘arme'not only as a substitute for guano butevery way a to it, in all the elements of ter- tility, for though deticiemt in phos- phate of lime, it is much richer in the elements of ammonia. I now, in the second place, propose ashes as alother important sabstitnte for guano. Ashes, though destitute of umimonia, are richer in all the salts that constitute a richer manure than guano. To prepare, then, a univer- sal fertilizer, equal to the best guano and superior to any of the phos- phates, superphosphates or artificial guano, prepared by Prof. Mapes or any other American Prof., I would propose to the farmer tu make a compost of his barn-yard manure and ashes. -And when I say barn- yard manure, I include the urine with the solid. In this compost, I would also put the excrement of the family, with all the waste suds, and whatever absorbents may be used to save the urine and the suds. I see not how the farmer could add | to the quality of such a compost. If he wish to add to the quantity of his manure, he may add any amount of common muck and airslacked lime, with smaller quantities of the differ- ent salts of potash, soda and magne- sia. Such acompost could be made by any and every farmer and me- chanic or profossional an even, and at a cost less than half that of guano or any of the phosphates or artificial mixtures, now offered tor sale. Tam almost every day inquired of, rela- tive to the value and use of the dif ferent fertilize now advertised for sale in cities, and my invariable an- swer is ake your-own guano as | have above directed. Or at least, ‘exhaust your own resources betore you purchase foreign manures. “-e Instances Worthy of Note.~-Wecom- mend to all exchanges a proper mention of all instances like those related in the fol- lowing from the Chattanooya Dobe : James Lowry, an old man, is a tanner, living in Marshall county, Tenn, and al- though comparatively poor, and both lis sons in the Confederate army, he resists the temptation to make money by chary- ing exorbitant prices for Ins leather and shoes.

Tne battle of yesterday resulted in the ene- my’s taking the back track last night. for parts unknown. ing paseed White Hall to-day, sixtecu mules hence, on the Neuse river. The greater part ¢f yesterday was speut in an arullery duel, resulting in a very shyt Joss on our side. Iw the evening General Clingman’s Brigade crossed the river and by &@ masterly movenrent caused the enemy to | skedaddle, having fost at least thirty in killed | and wounded ; sever or ciglit only killed. The 52d Regiment N. C. Troops, suttered | most, having lost aout eighty in killed and wounded, while charging one of the enciny’s batternes, across a:field. This Reaimeut be- haved yallantly. A part of Gen. avis’ Mississippi Brivade was on the field and behaved well. »The Yankee hespital near the battle tield ’ gives evident signs of numbers of wounded. Among them #enr amputating tables were found. The Railroad, for miles, has been torn up and bridges destroyed. A fine mill near the battle field was buraed and numberless acts of tnurder and inceadiarisin are reported.

The fighting of Saturday was chiefly by Longstreets Corps and a part of Jacksons beingsin reserve at) Hamuiltons Crossing. A, Pp Hat's divisien of Jackson's corps was in the battle at the time Gen. T. R. Cobb was slain, His Legion was holding i@ check 15,000 of the enemy. Our loss in the battle if variously estimat- ed at from sixthundred to one thousand in killed and woanded. The slaughter of the enemy was very great. Our Artillery was admirably served. Gen. Pindaz, was slightly wounded. A special dispatch to the Hraminer says the result of the fight on Saturday, on our right wing may be sammedup briefly. We drove the enemy back, killing three to one, and at night held the ground occupied by the ene- my’s batteries¢n the morning. The enemy had 20,000 engaged on this wing, while alto- gether, from firat to last, we had not imore than 10,000 in line of fire. Gen. Longstreet’s victory was even more complete. He drove the enemy into the streets of Fredericksburg, killing at least five to one, At dusk firing ceased simultaneously on both sides . THIRD DISPATCH. Ricumont, Dee. 10.

Bruner >—Dear Sir: Both Houses of the Assembly are at work on the bill to raise ten thousand reserve troops for State defense; but neither House seems likely to accomplish that purpose. The incentives to raise the troops are strong and pressing.— twelve counties East of the Wilmington and Weldon road, containing $30,000,000 worth of negroes, corn, beef, pork, mutton and oth- er live stock, to say nothing of other proper- ty, are already in the hands of the enemy ; while fourteen counties more, worth $50,- 000,000, id the same articles, are in danger of plunder aud devastation, at any time, by a inost relentless and vindictive foe. But where are (hese troops to come trom, unless the State refuses to give up any more conscripts to the Confederate Government? and if the State refuse to zive up the conscripts, how is a colhsion with the Confederate Goverament to be avoided? And if the conscripts are re- tained by the State, how are we tu pay for their support for one year in the field? It will take $10,000,000 to pay bounty, erm, equip, feed and pay 10,000 troops for one year. On the dther hand, if we do nothing, is there any thiag in the weatmeut we have heretofore received at the hands of the Con- federate authoritics, to gustify us in hoping that this State will be properly defended by ! Jefferson Davis? If we give up our con- scripts, and we are uot detended, we are ru- ined ; if we refuse to give chet up, and call then out ourselves, the disaster is bat litde less certain, ‘To think of raising an ariny of any size, outside of the conscript age, is pre- posterous. All the men will thus be taken ; and we are just as certainly conquered af all go to the war, as we would be it all should stay at home. But where are we drfung ¢ There are those who believe that there is a serious design on the part of many iu the South to consolidate the Government and build up astrong empire. Suppose this should be the case, are we ready for it?) Where are we to look for the checks to such a scheme, but to the resistence of the States. But let: the central power conscript all your muhtia, abstract all your arms, and mouopolize all your material of war, aud dhe States become diartnless and contemptible protestants, and bow the neck to the yoke. The plea of ne- | cessity has been that of Cyrants, in all aves: | let us beware of. The man or the State that parts with the means of sell-defeuse ine | vites insult and aggression, aud is lauvless when trodden apon oy the foot ot the tvraut, There are those who will think tus senseless, perhaps utischtevous speculation. 1 hope it) imay be the tormer, it is net iuteuded tor the latter. My object is to beat hack the vandal toe, and at the same time to take cure uf our liberties. 1 wish ever to remember that “ elernal vigtlance ts the price of ltherty.” and to be on double guard, wheu T remeniber the maxim that “the laws are silent amid the ¢lash of arms.” It is probable the Assemably Mill adjourn on the 22d, to meet after a louger or shorter | period. It is understuod that the Jott com. | mittee on that subject advise an adjoucument, at that time, to the Ist ot November, L863. Unless almost superhuman efforts are made, the uecessary legislation cannot be done, within a week, to justify so long an adjourn- ment. But tew bills of importance have yet deen enacted. The act preventing the distil- | lation of hquor frotw grain, of any sart, has | passed both Hytses. An act authorizing the | Governor to eniploy agents to buy and store | away provistous, to be sold to county agents, | al cost, for the relief of indigent soldiers fame | ilies, and appropriating $500,000 for that | purpose, has also passed. An act creating : the 8th judicie’ circuit. An’ act to pay the | salaries of Judges preveuted from holding the Courtsin the eouaties held by the enemy. An act authorizing the Governor to furnish cach county with fifty pounds of powder and two hundred pounds vf lead. An act raising sher- ifs-bonds to $50,000. An act to increase jail- ors fees, and a very important act passed in secret session. .\ resvlution protesting against | burning cotton, by the Confederate anthori- hes in the Kastern part of the State, are the only acts and resolutions of very great im- portance that have yet passed. [tis not pro- bable that any peruanent embargo laws wall , be passed: aud the indications are that the resolution on that subject will expire in thirty | days, The consututionality, aud even expe- | diency of the act, are so questionable, that it | is not probable that any thing farther will be | done. The State Constitution gives the Go | vernor acd Council of State, the power to re- | new the embargo for thirty days, in the re- | | { | { cess of the Assembly. The unconstitutional- ity, ifitexists at all) is embraced in’ that clause of the Conlederate Coustitation which delegates the Congress the right to regulate «o1umerce between the States. .

The latter place is on the same side of the river with Kirlston White Hall is 15 miles southwest of Goldsborough, and is on the south side, or right: bank of the river.— Springbank is 6 miles from Goldsborough, and on the South side. Lord Cornwallis crossed at this plyce in the Revolutionary war, in 178], on his way from Wilmington to Halifax. Falling Creek is 20 miles from Goldsborough, and on the same side. Ral- eigh, the seat of Government of the State, is 52 miles trom Goldsborough, and on the same side with White Hall. It appears that the enemy came up on the Trent river road, ou the south side of Neuse. On Friday a skirmish took place at Mr. Bec- ton’s plantation, sume ten miles below Kin- ston. On Friday night our troops fell back to Parrvtt’s lane, seven miles from Kinston, where, on Saturday, another skirmish took place. Our troops then fell back on Saturday evening to the old distillery, just below the County bridge, about one mile and a quarter from Kynston, where they encamped. On Sunday morning the battle commenced at this point, at 8 o'clock, and continued until 2 p. in., when Gen. Evans ordered then to tall back on Kinston, and destroy the bridge. The enemy being so superior in nutbers, supposed to be 15,000, and pressing rappidly on_our forces, there was no time to destroy the bridge, although it was fired. Col.

It is reported that a portion of the battalion were made prisoners, Our killed and severely wounded on the south bank, of course fell into the nands of the en- ewy. After a stand, for a short time by our troups, between the bridge and Kinston, Gen. Evans fell back to the heights north of Kin- ston upou which is Mr. Washington’s beau- tiful residence. About 4 o'clock the enemy sent a flag of truce demanding the uncondi- tional surrender of the Coufederate tmops. and the post of Kinston, which Gen, Evans promptly declined to do.

SENEX. TANNING. * Weare indebted to Mr. Wm. Crutch- field, of Goochland Court House, for ihe following details and receipt for tanning leather. If, in any particular, not perfect- ly intelligible, Mr. C. will take great pleas- ure in affording avy additional informa tion. The true mode for farmers to adopt, is for each neighborhood, conststing of from three to six, to combine, construct the wats and divide the labor among them- selves. They will make as good leather as they now get, if not better, and they will get double the quantity they now re- ceive from the tanners. Tanning Leather.—Pure watervat six feet squre, four feet wide, four deep. Lite water vat—same. Nat for bark four feet wide, four deep, and eight long, Soak hides till soft in pur water—from five to seven days—then flesh on beam. Beam for breaking the hides six feet long—a log, two feet diameter, split in two —underneath hollowed out for prop, to raise or depress. In the process of break- ing, use a knife two feet long with shanks for handles—knife little rounding. As soon as flesh is taken off, (one hand will flesh a dozen hides a day,) the hides are put in the limevat—weak solution -— Gne bushel lime—tirst slacked. The vat not quite full of water. Hides to be taken out every other day to air, and replaced smooth—plunge or stir vat every time the hides are replaced. As soon as hair will slip, throw hides over beam, hairside up and rub with flesh- ing koife, The bair off. the hides are put back in vat of pure water, and to remain there a day or two—then throw across the beam againyand with same fleshing knife, work out all the lime aud remain: ing flésb. One hand will flese 50 bides a oy he process of bating may be omitted in tanning coarse leather. Take the hides as clean as possible to the barkvat. At first ove bushel of bark, pounded or ground—this weak soluvion to continue two days—and gradually strengthened by addition of bark. say om bushel daily. Keep it in two weeks; hand a Basa strengthening liquor. clean out vat, takiny out all the ark. Throw in pounded bark —put down ene hide—cover that inch thick with bark and so ou, each hide. Let in water and let it remain a month. Again clean out wat, reverse hides and repeat operation — and let this rewain » month. Ayain clean out vat and repeat operation—and remain another month. (Chestnut oak the best—tho’ Spanish or black ‘oak good.) After'84 month, the hide being tanned, is take out and hung upon poles. This is cole losther without farther jabor.
