Industry of wives, mothers and sisters-
Alas! tlibro nro many noble heroes
who, in going to war, have loft all nnd
carried all. They lmvo given up their
vocations, and lmvo consecrated their
souls and bodies to the sorvico of their
country, which is all they have to give,
and no nobler gift could bo offered.
Four mouths lmvo already been pass*
cd in camps. .Summer is rapidly clos,
lug, cold, cheerless da^s and bleak
nights are near at hand. The outfit!
with which our friends left homo will
soon be threadbaro. A fresh . supply
should always bo ready before actual
ly needed ; bonce wo ask attention to
tho coming wonts of our bravo defon*
dors in tlmo.
Soldiers receive $11 per mouth only
(in addition to food nnd clothing,) a
tneagro reward for their heroic deeds.
Our young government may not al
ways command tho means for prompt
ymout, and if it should, how could
the soldiers get tho clothing, unless
they could lmvo ncccsB to ready made
clothing stores, such ns do no exist in
our Confederacy. It is plain our ladies,
for whom these men arc risking every
thing must lend a helping hand.
Many mothers, wives, sisters nnd
sweethearts will sco to tho wants of
thoir special loved ones, hut nono must
ho neglected. The poorest and richest
aro equally deserving.
Wo do not know exnotly how to meet
this dotnand, but it has !>ecn suggested
that it Could best he done by forming
“Ladies’ Soldlers’-Aid Societies,” which
has boon done in many places.
The ladies of the villages can easily
do this; even ladies in neighborhoods
can do so, mooting, say once u week at
a church or school houso in their sec*
tion. Each county may thus easily do
the work, and do It quickly and cheap-
It would bo well If women, who are
compelled to work for their living,
could, in somo way, get a fair share of
this work, and lie paid for It. We pity
this class of persons very much, and
could urge no objection to forming a
’.Society,” except jwssibly it might di
minish their support, by enlisting la
dies to do charitably what theso might
obtain for pay. Of courso ladies could
not ho expeoted to buy all the cloth
and do all tho work—such ol the troops
aro amply ahlo would doubtless
cheerfully pay for goods nnd making,
hilo thoso who arc too poor to do so
might ho supplied with very little ex
pense, when tho “Societies” share in
th£cost and labor.
if this class of soldiers should lay
up thoir small earnings, they would
act wisely in view of the future. Far
better livo on plain food, than to go
through tho war spending everything
and boginning lifo again without a
dollar. •
Would it not ho well for the ladies
of Itomo, (nnd everywhere elso) to meet
and consider .theso matters. We learn
that in somo sections thoso faithful pa
triots aro actively engaged. H.

Revival.—A very interesting meet
ing commenced at Bush Arboi Church,
on last Saturday, and Is continued with
increasing interest.
Tho sad news of tho deatli of
William Diamoud, of the Miller Rifles,
reached hero Thursday evening, lie
took the ineusles at Winchester and
was improving, whon Gen. Johnston
loft there for Manassas. He was so
eager to he in the fight, ho followed
tho army and relapsed, ami was sent
to Uordonsville and there died. He
was a son-in-law of Hon. W. R. Webster
New Cavalry Compnny.
9 Wo are credibly Informed thnt
Messrs. Scott and Burnott are going, to
turn their compnny into a cavalry
corps. Wo believe such a move would
ho in tho right direction for, from what
we can learn, wo need more cavalry.
t Those wishing to join such a company
should report their names at once.
More Ambamuns.—Two inoro com
panies from Chorokco county, Ala., ar
rived on Thursday morning lust by the
stcatnor Cherokee. Tho “Clierokecs,”
Copt. Cunningham, from Center, ami
the Cherokee Mountainocrs, Cupt. Mil-
saps, from Cedar Bluff.
This makes six companies that
have passed through hero this week,
from Cherokee Co. Tho people of
Cherokee were late, butmost nobly have
they done their duty now. Wo publish

Courage' and Truth—Specimens.
. Tho Northern prints lmvo recently
given n glowing eulogy on tho courngo
of the grand army nnd Its officers.
It. consisted (they said before the
haMle) of 53,000 men, magnificently
equipped, and it actually lmd tho
bravery to fight Beauregard’s mob, (ns
they called it) and stood its ground for
ten or twelve hours, notwithstanding
the awful slaughter of 150 ntcu After
such u heavy loss it rr.trcatcd leaving
all to tho cnomy. Who ever before
licurcd of Midi cvurayrt -Leonidas with
his .Spartan hand of 300 must sink into
insignificance forever hereafter. Tho
officers ut Manassas positively wero so
bold, us to ho tho^rsf to leave tho field,
which was a sufficient compensation
for being Am/ iu getting into tho light.
These valiant chiefs were so reckless of
lifo nr to got behind hay stacks, stumps
and tho like, tor which boldness it is
said somo of them are to bo court mar-
tinted. Really theso feats aro marvel
lous, and the terror that must strike
the .South at its next ndvciituro will ho
awful.
Tho courngo displayed by the’ Hes
sians is only caquullcd by the truth of
the public press.
Urcely, Bennett A Co. say that Beauro-1 J D Cobh,
gnrd’s army was OO.OOO^strong, fighting I j* p ) ^J c ^ U8 »
behind entrenchments witli U miles of j (jollius

For Mathematicians f
1st. If it takes Scott 3 months to get
75 thousand men ready to march 30
miles, in order to bo whippod, how
long will it take him to get ‘200,000
to ho whipped from Washington to
New Orleans?
2d. If, when Scott’u army wuuja battle,
(as at Manassas,) he looses 5,000 men,
and over a million of property, what
will ho tho Southern gain, If wo are for
tunate enough to defeat him ?
3d. If it took McClellan’s force of
12,000, a woek to kill one Goneralj nnd
twenty-five privates, to take 300 half
starved prisoners, how many men will
It require, and what length of time for
him to capture nnd defeat an army of
250,000? H.
Col. Pennington wishes to re

I®* It was really gratifying to re

that our present Postmaster, Col. liar-

A Bi.AsrUKMous Fahsos.—F.irson
Brownlow recently declared in relation
to the Union men of Hast Tenm-see :
“We intend to fight tho secessionists
until hell freezes ovor, and then fight
them on tho ice.”
Never mind, Parson, there is an old
gentleman in black,” that will give
you a tussle long before tho “free
conies in that warm climutc.
The Handcuffs.—A Richmond cor
respondent says: I can only hope that
they will he distributed throughout the
South, that our pcoplo may see and feel
the maniclcs that havo been prepared
for their free and manly limbs.
We hope so too, Send them out
through tho country, thnt all may see

ardice and fiendislmess.
History has no record of tho fact
thnt a soldier was killed in buttle with
a prillters’s luccipt for his paper in his
