Treasury Notes.
We are greatly pained to hear it
stated, that there are a few individu
als in this com inanity, who refused to
receive? Confederate Notes.. If such
there be, wo would bo glad to know,
that Buch a course was alono prompted
by ignorance, for we cannot entertain
the idea that there is an intelligent
man in the Confederacy with a heart
and head in the right placo, who could
bo guilty of giving such "aid and com
fort to the enemy.” The motive which
would, in our judgment, prompt
intelligent man, deliberately, to pur
sue such a course, would suggest to him
the propriety of secretly preparing a
Lincoln Flag, rendy to bo unfurled, at
n propitious hour, which hour is antic
ipated. The assassin desires to make a
deadly blow at the hearts’ blood of his
viotim. If you intend to victimise your
country, to your own selfishness and
cupidity, strike at its currency, which
is its hearts’ blood, and if successful,
you have accomplished more in the
unhallowed and wicked crusade to sub
jugate the Confederacy, than the bur
ning of Richmond, Charleston, Savan-
• nali, Mobile and Memphis, would ac.
complish, Arnold, if successful, will
be an Atigol of Light, comparod to
you. History, and the denunciations,
of unborn generations, will place you
beneath garth's darkest billows.—
Should his Satanic Majesty ever dio-
you will bo legally entitled to his ud,
ministratorship.
Rome Works Artillery.
An artillery company, with the above
name,* composed mainly of the opera
tives in Messrs. Nobles’ Iron Works
has been formed for the protection of
the city. The services of the company
was tendered to, andaccepied of, by
onr worthy Mayor. The commandant
of the Augusta Arsenal has furnished
tho necessary ammunition, and given
them an order on Messrs. Nobles for
two guns.
As these are hardy fearless men,
and many of them having seen service
some form, the Dutch Doodles may ex
pect a warm reception, should they
conoludo to visit us. Any other per
sons, oxempt from conscription, wish
ing to join the company can do so on
proper aplication.
Matches.—The Augusta Chronicle
says that Mr. A. 3. Pelletier is making
very good matches at Hamburg, S. C.—
Ho is turning out largo quantities daily.
As the stock in Rome is running low,
this might be a good place to renew the
supply.
• .
Cotton Fire.—Tho Vicksburg Whig
says that already a quarter of million
of bales of cotton have been fired on
the Mississippi and its tributaries below
♦bat place. One planter, Judge Per.
kins, of Grand Gulf, destroyed 1,300
bales of his own crop. These cotton
burnings will mako ho little sensation
in Europe.
Butler’s Order.
Authors are often immortalized by a
single work. It may be a book, a poem
or a song, but it remain for Picayune
Butler, tho vilest of the vile, to accom
plish immortality, infamous though it
be, by a General Order. This Order
will win for him a crown of villianous
immortality almost as blaok as that
of Judas. Have we not reached the
lowest depths of degradation, or can it
be possibile that there a still lower
depth, a still deeper and darker vale of
humility to walk through? The Rich
mond Dispatch says:
This order gives a general license to
his whole army, and exposes every lady
in his .military district to outrage. A
soldier has but io say that he has been
treated “rudely" to justify him under
the General Order in considering any
of the sex as a woman, of the town, a
common harlot, and so using her.—
What is rudeness and contemptuous
treatment? The soldier is the judge?—
Nay, he may lie and alledge rudeness
where no word or look of contempt or
disrespect may have transpired. There
fore every lady in the Crescent city is
in danger from this infamous order.
The Savannah Republican says:
Wo have scon the author, and if Hea
ven ever expended more labor and
pains in framing ono man than another
surely the last finishing touch was given
in writing villian on the brow of Ben
jamin Franklin Butler.
The history of the world does not
furnish a parallel proclamation.
editorial Correspondence.
Richmond, May 19,1862.
Dear Courier :—Several days have
elapsed since my last communication,
for several reasons. In the first place,
indisposition not sick, 1 but “rathorish un
well,” ns Charles Lamb would have
said j m the second place, not being
with the Regiment—the espeoial ob
ject of my-interest—I had nothing of
peculiar interest to communicate, and
in tho third place, nothing of general
interest lias yot occurred of which your
readers have not been advised. On
Wednesday there was a great and gen*
oral panic hero on account of the ad
vance of tho enemy’s gunboats to our
obstructions and dofonces, at Drury’s
Bluff—some eight miles by land and
fifteen by water below here—but as
they were repulsed, and confidence
thereby given in our defences on the
river, thero lias since been much lees
anxiety in this city. Many families
are, however, moving uway to North
Carolina and the interior'of this State,
and, ns I bolievo, nought but the
skeleton of tho Capital of tho Confed
erate States yet remains hero. People
living to tho East of this placo are
nearly all moving back hero, and to
points beyond, and a general expecta
tion oxists of a groat battlo very soon
near this oity. Johnson, ond Mc
Clellan both are almost continually
changing their positions, slightly -ad
vancing and retreating—and evidently
watching each other with a jealous
oye.
Our defonces and the obstructions in
the James river, bolow hero, have been
greatly increased, since last Wednes
day, and oven Federal gunboats will
now find that a “bard road to travel.”
The confidence in our ability to de
fend Richmond is daily increasing, and
the determination to do so at all hazards
has already become quite general.—
The expectation is that tho great fight
will bo a most bloody ono whenever it
comes oft', and it Beems impossible for
it to bo long postponed. Bo far as I
can learn, the general feeling of our
army is that of online confidence in
tlieir ability to whip tho dastard inva
ders.
Last Friday was observed as a day of
fasting and prayer, with groat porfect-
ness in form and apparent spirit; ovon
the Sabbath is not generally so well
observed as was that day.* The fact
that somo 150,000 of the enemy aro
threatening this city and are only
twelve to twenty miles from the placo,
has a wonderful influence in making
the people in earnest.
Our Brigade—the 3d of 1st Division
Army of tho Potomac—-which eonstU
tute a part of the roservo, under pres
ent arrangements, and it is now bl-
vouaced in less than two miles East
from this oity. They -have been in
none of tho skirmishes since >v.e left
the Peninsula. From there we came
up to the city. I learn that the gener
al health of tho Regiment is improv-
ng, and those who are here in the va
rious hospitals aro rapidly recovering;
Three of Pulaski Guards have died
of disease in the last fifteen days, but
no others, from our Regiment, that 1
have heard of.
This is a cold, gloomy, rainy day,
and, os yet, no sensations havo enlivened
the dismal aspect of affairs. It really
seems strange that two such large ar
mies should stand menacing each other
so long and yot full confidence is felt
that Gen. Johnson will manoeuvre our
forces as to whip tiio fight when it docs
come—God grant that he* may, and
that this horrid war may bo ondod by
glorious victory at oavly day near
this city. M. D. •

ggy-Tho New York Tribune'has open

BQfTlio Boston “Post” of the 26th
ult., alluding to the gunboat Galena,
recently so severely crippled; if not set
on flreby our batteries bolow Richmond,
says: The now iron- clad gun boat Gal
ena recently received her armament,
which is more formidable and destruc
tive,in somo respects, than was ever be-
foie placod on board a war vessel.”
Having thus far shown tho Provi
dence of God in War, and the futility
of superior numbers and munitions of
war, when opposed to God and truth,
let us see how tho subject may bo of
availablo importance to us, in the past
struggle. The questions of tho great
est concern to us now, naturally sug
gested by tho facts before us, aro, Can
we havo the help of this great God,
“glorious in holiness, fearful in praises
doing wonders," and how? To tho first
we answer emphatically, wo can. God
in essence is tho samo forever, His pro-
vidonco extends to all timos and to all
creatures,
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,
Atoms or systems, into l-uin hurl’d,
And now a bubble burst, a now a world.
As the God of inflexible Justice, bo is
ever the same in action, and in the
principles of his government; ns such
“he ho sittotli on the floods (of earth)
yoa tho Lord sitteth King forever.”—
The praises of David aro still duo unto
him, O Lord God of hosts, who is a
strong Lord like unto thoe? or to the
faithfulness round about tlieo. Thou
rulcst tho raging of tho sea, when tho
waves ariso thou stillest thorn. Thou
hast scattered thine enemies with thy
strong arm—tho North and tho South
thou hast founded them. Justice and
judgment aro tho habitations of thy
throne—in thy favor shall our horn be
exalted. Tho Lord is our defence, and
tho Holy One of Israel is our King.”—
Tho God Of Wur from necessity, tho
Lord of Peaeo from choice, ho wniteth
to satisfy Iris people “with tho abun
dance of peace;” to display his power,
and aUgmont his glory in our salvation
from our enemies, but this ho can only
do, when compatible with the princi
ples of his righteous government.
How may wo secure His Providence
in our behalf? First—by humility, and
submission to God. This is the first
great duty of those who appeal to God
for a decision in any contest, physicnl
or moral. The absonce of this grade
implies its opposite, pre-judgment, pro.
sumption, arrogance, pride—“by this
sin the angels fell.” “Pride goeth be
fore destruction and a haughty spirit
before a fall.” Pride lias been the sin
of our people from the first-. Assum
ing that our cause is just, that our in
stitutions are based on God’s own word,
that constitutional and religious liberty
for tho world, that tho purity of relig
and the Soriptures depend on our suo-
cess—that the intorosts of humanity
depend on tho culture of cotton, and
we seemed to suppose that (ill those in
terests, having ih thoniselves an inker
ent moral power, and interwovon with
God’s own benevolent purpose’s, con
stituted- ft cause of such sublimely grand
moral proportions, ns would perforce
command the. blessing of God upon
us, and thus ho would be committod to
prosper us-. Thus wo sinned in tho'
mfinner of our appeal.
In contemplating the magnitudo of
tho sins of tho North, the South may
forget hor own. God hates siu whether
in the abstract form of written princi
ples, creeds or constitutions, or in the
concrete living entities of human souls.
The former must como to nothing un-
dor his wrath, or live in his favor—tho
latter must bo punished. God can savo
just principles and institutions, and do’
stroy tho wicked and unworthy advo
cates of them. Tho tongue that ories
“cotton is king” in a spirit of self-suffi
cient, impious infidelity, shall yet pro
claim “tho Lord he is God,” though it
be necessary for . him to desolate the
whole cotton area of the South, or
change tho laws of nature itself. Pride
was the sin of Nebuchadnezzar, and
God humbled him down to a level with
tho brute. Pride was tho sin of Bel
shazzar, and his kingdom was taken
from him. Pride wa9 tho sin of Moab,
and God said “Moab shall be destroyed
from being a people, because he bath
magnified himself against the Lord.”—
Pride was the sin of Tyre, and God said
‘therefore will 1 bring strangers upon
thee, tho terriblo of nations, and tboy
shall draw their swords against tho
beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall
defilo thy brightness,” and she became
a place for tho spreading of nets in the
midst of tho sea. But if we weuld
havo correct views of tho retributive
justice of God, in punishment for this
sin, as well as all other sins of which
we are guilty as a people, a terribly
faithful pioturo is before us in Isaiah ix
8-21, t x. Hore behold Ephraim, Ju
dah, Manosseh, and ’Samaria, all ar.
raigned before God’s tribunal, and the
charge of pride, impenitence, infidelity
dishonesty, .hypocrisy and avarice, sep
arately arid distinctly urged againat
them, * mid the vials of God’s wrath
poured out against each offence, and
offender. A total subversion of church
and state should be their punishment—
their allies should become thoriis in
their sidqs—their leaders, anoient and
honorable, should be cut off—tho tree
of their glory, “branch and root,’,
should be overthrown—all classes, rioh
and poor, high and low, should Buffer-
famine and desolation should bo theirs
—forsaken of God they should “bow
down under tho prisoners and fall down
under the slain”—their young men
should be out off, and no mercy for the
fatherless and widows; tho spoil and
prey of nations t hey should be trod
down ns the miro of the stroets.” But
“for all this his anger is not turned
away, and his hand is stretched out
still;” and proud Assyria whom God
used as “tho rod of his anger and the
staflf'in the hand of his indignation”
to bring all the evils abovo on Israel—
oven Asyria, n proud, wicked nation
waging a war of conquest and plunder, ond
not designedly executing God’s will,
must reap an equally terriblo retribu
tion. Thus wo see God will bo glorified
by us or our enemies, or by the destruc
tion of both. God’s law must bo vin
dicated—the claims of truth and justice
be honored. "Fiat justitia ruat caslum,”
let justice bo done though universal
ruin follow, is tho spirit of Divino ju
risprudence.
Every one that is proud in heart is
an abomination to (ho Lord, though
hand join in hand ho shall not be un.
punished, and God says “I will cause
tho nrrogancy of the proud to cease
and will lay low the haughtiness of the
terrible.” Let us cease from' pride and
vain glory—giviug all praise to .God the
only giver of victory and suoeess—lest
we realize too ti'uly,
“Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itsolf,
Till by broad spreading, it disperse to
naught.”
.Let us not say as some, “If the is
sues of the present struggle be not fa
vorable to our hopes, there is no Prov
idence.” Tho motto of Franco "Dieu
et man droit’’ “God and right” if taken
in the abstract for truth and justice,
subject to the approval of God himself,'
and nqt taken in the light of our own
finito and selfish wisdom is worthy of
all acceptation. In cases commensu
rate with finite wisdom we may not go
astray, but iu all coses, follow Solomon,
“trust in the Lord with all thine heart
and lean not to thine own understand
ing.” Let us not deoide for God what
is right. If we would succeed in this
war, now that the ship of state is fairly
launched on the current sf events, wo
must glorify God In bis Providence.—
It is only in this spirit of humble con
fidence in God wo can solve many a
political problem in history—and with
out it, such sorrowful facts os the fall
of Uungary and Poland andthebloody
but fruitless struggle oi other nations
for liberty, are enigmatical, and lead
to infidelity and sin. Submission to
God does not insolve necessarily sub
mission to our enemies. Humility is
not humiliation, but is the sure way
to glory ond success and elevation;
“Them that honor Me I will honor.”—
Fasting, humiliation and prayer, those
will bring us dolivoranco. It may
seem paradoxical, but fasting will bring
strength, and plenty—humiliation will
bring honor, aud prayer, though spirit
ual, will make all materialism effective.'

Retalintionsbip Disowned. *
Tho New Origans “Delta,” of the
28th ult., relates tho following:
On Saturday last, a party landed
abovo Carrolton from the oneray’s ships,
and proceeded to the abandoned forti
fications, inspected them and tore up
a small Confederate flag, which they
found flying over the the works.—
Returning down tho Leveo, the officers
met a family, of ladies nnd children,
accompanied by their colored servant.
The Federals, addressing themselves
first to the .ladies, expressed a hope
that the presence of the fleet was not
a oausp of fear to them.. We will re
late verbatim the conversation that en
sued :
Mrs. B.—That sensation, sir, is un
known to us here.
Officer.—Madam, may I ask you, if
thore is any Union sonliment here ?
Mrs. B.—None, sir, that I am awaro
of—certainly none among the ladies.
Officer.—Then wo may take it for
granted there is none among either
sex, as the ladies generally go with the
gentlemen on political questions,
Mrs. B.—I am confident-, sir, your
inference as to the entire absence of
any Union sentiment is correct. As
the ladies following the gentlemen on
political questions, I beg you to under
stand that however it may bo in your
section, the ladies here advocate that
only which is just and honorable.
Officer (turning his attention to one
of the servants).—Well, Sis, can you
tell me if all tho troops havo left yet?
Nanoy being for a moment quiet,
tho lady said: “Nanoy, why don’t you
answer your brother ? ”
Nanoy (with great indignation).—
Don’t you call mo Sis again. I don’t
want no Yankee for a brudder.
The whole Federal party pasBedon
without-another word.
BgyThei-o is a rumor says the Chioago

Northern Account ot the Fight nt
Drury’s Bluff.
Richmond, May 23.—Late Northern
papers have been received at the Daily
Express offioe. The fepulso of tho gun
boats on the James river had a most
depressing effeot in New York and
Philadelphia, and is regarded as a very
serious nffair at Old Point, but no full
accounts aro allowed to be made public.
Seventeen men were killed-on the Na-
gat-uok by the explosion of a one hun
dred pounder Parrot gun. The boat
was made useless nnd withdrawn from
the fight. The Galena was riddled by
shots from tho rebel batteries. Eiglr
teen shots went through her deck nnd
sides; fourteen of tho crow were killed
and thirteen wounded. The killed
were terribly cut and mangled, many
of them beyond the hope of recogni
tion.
The Monitor maintained her superior
strength and invulnerability, the balls
glancing harmlessly from her. Tho
Al'istook ond Port Royal were not ma
terially injured. On account of tho
unusual elevation of the rebel battery,
and tho difficulty of gunboats getting
the proper range, thero wero for a timo
unublo to do execution.

P*. W. A.
Natcuez, May 14.—Tho Federal fleet
now opposite' our city consists of the
frigates Brooklyn, Iroquois and Ver
mont, arid four gunboats, with one

of our surrender'are not yet settled.
The Yankees Find out the Spikit or
the Southern Peopi.e.—A letter from
Gen. Mitchell’s (Federal) Division, ut
Huntsville, Ala., to the Cincinnati
“Times,” says:
The white inhabitants of this part of
tho country are the most rampant and
vicious secessionists 1 ever met with.—
They will hardly speak to an officor
when they meet lum, but look side
ways* lest they might inhalo his “Yan
kee” breath. No matter what tho
nation, creed or color of a* man, if he
is for tho Union, he is a Yankee. The
ladies—save the mark—are more vi-
cious, fierce, and rampant (ban tho
men.
' An instance: A few days ago, Major
Moore, of the 10th Ohio, Beeing two
women, whom ho supposed to bo ladies,
enter a carriage, and finding it difficult
to close, stopped gallantly forward for
tho purpose of closing tho door, when
one of the termagants put forth her
hand and pushed tho door most vio
lently. The Major looked crest-fallen
for tv moment, and after a pause said:
“Excuse me, I thought you were ladies.”
This brought crimson to the cheeks of
the she devil, but slio said nothing.
Another correspondent, writing from

This place is rotten, rancid with trea
