passing a second line of pickets, they
either did not hear the challenge, or
could not stop their horsos, when thoy
were fired on by the picket?, and Blake
instantly killed, and the other man
mortally wounded, dying ia a day or
two afterwards,

Mvxfokdsyillg.—The Yankee papers
say Gen. Winder was in command of
the forces captured at Munfordsville
and.that instead of not firing a gun the
garrison made a desperate resistance.
They also say that the capture of Munf
fordsville completely cuts off all hopo
of succor from the Northern part o

TELEOnarn im tub War Omen.-'The
War Department nit Richmond has
established a special telegraph station
in the Department building, for tho
purpose of receiving all dispatches

of all messages transmitted over the

Riohmond office, but the battery being
in the latter, all the Department tele
graph operators ate dependent upon
it.
tlio subject, it is needless to adduce the
proofs of the fact, that the Confederate
debt is ns safe a security as any in tlio
world, nnd thnt Confederate currency,
being convortablo at any moment into
Confederate bonds, are with a per coin
age approximating the par of specie
If wo do not allow tho North to fix tlio
value of our public paper, says tlio
Richmond Examiner, it will conimund
par prices after tlio war in tlio Europe
an money markets. Compared with
the debt of the North, it is worth in
trinsioally two or three or four to one,
Tn# Northern debt is three or lour
times as great as the Southern. North
ora war expenditures are on a scalo
threo .or four times ns extravagant as
the Southern ; so that every additional
week that the war is prolonged incren
ses the disparity between tho solvency
of the North und that of tlio South
Tlio monopoly possessed by the South
of two or Hire# of the great staples
which lie at tlio basis of nil commerce,
gives her a control of specie funds nnd
of credits which renders the manage
ment of a debt peculiarly easy and
practicable. This day the public cur
rency of tlio Confederacy is intrinsically
more valuable than that of tho North
two to one ; nnd if we bought no goods
from outside tho Confederacy except
from Europe, that fact would immedi
ately appear nt tho end of the war.

figgpWo commend tho following Ben
siblo-articlo from the Suvannak Repub
lican, to our readers.
Panic Prices.
Mn. EDitont—There is* a state of
things existing among us that is great
ly to bo deplored. I will illustrate by
a few cases within my knowledge: A
worthy citizen of our town wanted some
horses for his own uso, und und could
not afford to pay our prices, und was
suddenly called to Tennessee, to see
some sick friond, and returned with
some horses, nnd sold out in a Few day
at prioes at least twenty-five per cent
higher than before, and is gone again,
nnd everybody needs a fi.no horse just
now—and prices tend to tlio thousand
—yst wo liavo more horses than tho
country actually requires.
A neighbor of mino lias a sqw and
eighteen pigs, (not nil her own) that he
concluded he could spare, and offer
ed them for fifty dollars. No one would
give it. He now says he is offered sov-
onty-five dollurs, and would lake a hun
dred dollars. Tlio samo man lias a few
sides of leather, nnd has heard that
shoes are worth fivo to six dollars some
where, and is preparing to put his leath
er into shupo to got tliOBO prises—yet
there is plenty of hogs and leather to
n.e.!t all our wants, if pooplo would
illy 8lop nnd lock.
Another man hnd a lot of hogs to
sell, a good many wanted lliom, arid to
give ail a fair chance, ho put them up nt
auction (like tho factory men) and got
wav prices doubled. And tho purchasers
have got the salt to buv, to save it—
arid somebody will bo hurt.”
Now, can't common sense nnd com
mon honesty dictuto to us the fallacy
and lolly, and I had almost said some
thing more, of bucIi conduct.. Assure
as time rolls on, wu shall pay in full
measure for all these things. Tlio salt
famine, that is just boforo us, w ill eat
up the meat profits, after the hogs
have consumed tho surplus corn, -&o.
As soon as prevailing prices are paid for
soldiers und nogr-s shoes, everybody
will be loft with'stock on hand and no
buyers. Horses Will tlio next summer
for want of corn, IVo are absolutely
destroying oursolves, by permitting the
peculators and our cowardly fears to gov
ern ils. 1 desire to sec every ono doing,
as I am trying to do, make their own
shoes, leather, hogs, cattle, shoep, hor
ses and mules, and salt, and cloth, and
buitor and eggs, ami corn to sell und
eat, and give over their fenrs of want,
and money making trici.s, and devote all
our energies to independence of Yan
kee soldiers and southern blood suck-
ors, and pusitlumlnous complaiuers,
with no heart, no soul, nor hand—all
t inguo—and on the odgo of a mate's
nest, ns they always ore. This day wo
ought to inaugurate a new order of
things—as well as thank God with our
lips. “Bo no more children, tossed to
and fro, and carried” about by every
evil current that blows. Whitt though
we should have to live on coarse faro,
or short rations, und wear old clothes
and tied up shoes, or none, and dodge
and fight. We arc no better than our
fathers—they did it und gloried in it,
as tho price of liberty. Let us follow
their tioblo example. Gofueu Hill.

The small force of Confederates under

he will soon again assume the offensive.
Tho accident to the Arkansas, which

BSL. Thomas Carlyle, in a speech on

acteristic utteranco with reference te the
war; ‘It is,” said ho, “the dirtiest chim
ney that’s been afire this century, and
tho best way is to let it burn itself out.”
One of the proprietors, of the
Wilminglon “Journal” :had occasion
to visit Frederick about the time when
hostilities broko cut, and from what he
then saw was convinced, and still ro
mains convinced, of tho Northern,

habitants of that section of Maryland.
We fear that with sumo exceptions our
troops found tiling, substantially un

Tho Cincinnatians were so badly scar

The Cherokees turning against us.—
The Memphis Appeal of the 20th soys:—
“A private noto to tho editors form Lit

Ross, and two-thirds of tho Cherokees
havejoined the Fedtrals and are making

Butler’s War upon the Women.—
Now Orleans exhibits at the present
time perhaps, the most disgraceful
spectacle over witnessed in a civillized
country. Wo have some authentic
particular!-, which wo publish, that thu
world may know how thoroughly infa
mous and brutal mo the authorities of
the Lincoln •government in that quar
ter.
The dispatch announcing that Mi-3
Phillips had been liberated was an er
ror. She is still a prisoner on Ship Is
land, away from family und friends,
and will thero probably remain until
the close of tho war, ns her defiant spir
it is not subdued by the inhumanity of
her persecutors.
Mrs. Larue, tho step-daughter of
Judgo Rost, our Commissioner to Eu
rope, is also a piisoner at Ship Island
together with many other ladies of
New Orleans.
Mr. Casey’s house, on Canal street,
is full of imprisoned ladies, and many
have been sent to Iho penitentiary.
Judgo II. D. Ogden's wife is n prison,
er in her own house, which is under
the surveillance of tho military, nnd
she is not permitted to leave it, except
on Sunday to go to clturchj and the
slio is accompanied by n guard. Mrs
Ogden is imprisoned tor no other rea
son than refusing to toll who bot
her a letter from Tier husband, who is
not in the city, advising her that if
she could not get a passport to join
him, to endeavor to obtain ono to go
to Canada.
These are but a few of tho numerous
eases of hardship and cowardly tyranny
practiced on the noble women of New
Orleans, whose crime is that they will
not bow the knee to tho Abolition
Baal. Tlio history of tho civillized
world contains no parallel in brutality
meanness and pusillanimous fear.-

Fneii the Rfb Grande.—Mr. II.
Blood, consul to Monterey, Mexico, ar

represents tlio Confederates as carrying
nn n brisk cotton trade through the
port of Mntamoras, they having obtain
ed liconso to pass 8,000 bales through
that port freo of duty. This cotton is

The Extortioners.
We have heard that ono of our most
exemplary divines in this city snys ho
really cunnot find iu lii3 heart to pray
for tlio oxtortionei-8 and speculators
ho arc availing themselves of the ca
lamities and privations of their follow-
creatures to swell thnir ill-gotten gains.
For common publicans and sinnei-sdie
believes there may be some forgiveness,
but thut people who show no mercy to
others need expect none from Heaven.
Wo are afraid, liowover, that motives of
this kind will not reach tho extortion
ers. It’s no more use preaching lo
them than praying for them. They
have hardened their hearts liko I’linv-
onh, and will not let tho peoplo go. If
Moses nnd the Prophets should rise
from tho dead, they would not listen;
and if they know the Day of Judge
ment were coming to-morrow, thoy
would advertise nscosion robes in the
morning papers. It is but little conso
lation to know that the Devil will ulti
mately have them, one and nil. Peo

erful enemy, 1 shall rely on the ardent

ccssfully. But, to maintain our posts
with credit to our country and to our
liomei nnd to our own honor, and
avoid immedfato disaster, it is essential
that all shall yield implicit obedience
to any orders emanating from superior

Lincoln and Redpatii.—Tho Wash-
ington correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, relates the following ns the
best thing lie lias heard of Prcsidont
Lincoln:
Redpatii cumo to tell the President
thatGetl'rard, tho President of IIayti
would send a white minister to this
country, if Mr. Lincoln especially de
sired it. “iiayti is so grateful,” says
Redpatii, “for her recognition at your
hands, that lie was authorized to say
that if you desired it as a favor, a white
minister should be sent instead of a
colored one. Of courso Hay ti prefers
to send one of her own cliiltlrcn, but
she will bo generous oven to tlio preju
dieo against'color I” Mr. Lincoln turn
ed drolly in his choir, and replied
“Well, you can Mr. Geffrard that I
shan't tear my Bhirt if bo does send a
negro here 1”. Isn’t that reply Lincoln
ish through and through?

written on the battle field last VYednes

lie says that our forces were outnum
