Oar Spwial CorrejiHbndence—Letter
from the Eobm Guardi.
Richmond , Va., Mag 22 d.
l)teAk Weekly:— Last evening
the Echols Guards landed in this city.*
All well and in buoyant spirits. We
met with a most cordial and hearty
reception here ; in fact, all' along our
way hither a true and patriotic spirit
seemed to prevail among the people.
We were greeted at Otery station with
enthusiastic shouts of applause by the
men,and many flags amljiandkercliiefs
by the ladies. negroes
seemed rejoiced lessee the noble sol
dier, making his way to the field of
battle to defend his country. The
heart-cheering, God bless you, seemed
to be upon every body’s lips, save in
one little, mean, filthy railway station
in Creek. Some
there had the audacity to hoist the
old stars and stripes and shout,
“ Huzzah for Lincoln !” Our men
were indignant, they could hut barely
constrain themselves. > Not ainanbut
was apxious to give them a test of
Southern prowess; but prrudence for
bade. In Greenville, Tcnn., notwith
standing the old star spangled banner
floated with her wonted majesty upon
the house of the immortal Johnson,
her people gave enthusiastic and un
mistakable evidence of their fidelity
to the South. Johnson may harangue
the people until his vile tongue grows
too weak for utterance, Brownlow may
circulate his vulgar sheet in every
family in the State, but Tennessee is
sure to ratify the act of her Legisla
ture.
We have a fine locality for our camp,
North-East of the city. Several ru
mors are afloat about engagements at
Fortress Monroe, Harper’s Ferry and
Alexandria, but no confidence is placed
in them. Alexandria, however, has
been taken by the Federal forces
without opposition. We expect to
have it soon.
Col. Ellsworth, one of Lincoln’s
pets, was killed at Manassas junction
by Capt. Jackson. Jackson was also
shot to pieces.
In conclusion, we would tender our
most heartfelt thanks to the citizens
of Grantville, while awaiting there for
an order. Yours, &c.,
J. 11. W.
A Fearful Warning,
Men cannot be too wary about in
cpAUdging in the use of Intoxicating
arinksT Especially careful should be
the man who knows that ardent spirits
produce on him delirium, and a dispo
sition to violent action, as is the case
with many. We have to record a
roost shocking instance of the effects
of indiscretion in partaking of ardent
spirits, notwithstanding the knowledge
of the possible fearful consequences.
James Martin, of Brooklyn, for twen
ty years a journeyman in one of our
largest book-binderies, always became
insane if he drank ardent spirits.
He repeatedly, in his sober moments,
told"his wife to cnll a policeman at
such times, for he feared he should do
violence- to some of the children.
Still he would have his turns of drink
ing; and going home, a short time
since, after a slight indulgence, he
began to act furiously. His wife
went out under the pretence of calling
a policeman.' Returning, she met him
rushing wildly’out of the house. Go
in or in, she found he had cut the throa t
of°his little girl, eighteen months old,
from ear to ear, atid it Was lying dead
in its little bed, red with the crimson
gore. Mr. Martin went directly to
the City Hall and gave himself up to
the authorities, and was locked up to
await his wretched fate—wretched un
der any and all circumstances, as long
as he lives. What a fearful warning
is this to those of like propensities.
Important Mews.

present condition of Missouri. It is
rumored, however, that the Nashville
Railroad will be embargoed on Mon
day, in which event the Tennesseeans,
considering Kentucky’sneutrality vio
lated, will probably advance on the
State. The Union and Southern
Rightsmen however, seem determined
to repel aggressions from either, and
the Tennesseeans, will gain thousands
of supporters by waiting.
