I hare forberno writing until the pres- No. 1, as including property on which

as yet, been made in tho position and
movements of the army here, the. ex
citement caused by the constant ex
pectation of an attack has subsided,
although surrounded by a concatena
tion of "monster armies and fleets.”
the latter multiplying .almost daily.—r
They are, evidently, concentrating a
heavy force opposite the city ; as their
present number is entirely insufficient-
for tho task before them. When, or
at what point, they will commence their
attack, is beyond speculation ; as they
make no demonstrations, upon which
we are able to base our expectation of
their intended operations, consequent
ly it is only neoessary for us to keep a
vigilant watch, and so dispose of our
troops as to be able to concentrate
them at any point, in a short time.—
Quito o large forco has, until recently,
boon employ ed in widening and. deep
ening tho canal, so as to move their
army below, in order to approach from
that quarter, on this side of tho river,
a spaco of ton miles, over a well fortifi
ed and protected country.
The rapid rising of the Mississippi
has, however, suspended their opera
tions, and will compel them to direct
their efforts to another point.
Their only altemtive is to make an
assault, directly upon tho city ; whioh
will bo extremely hazardous and atten
ded with dreadful consequences, oi
their troops will havo to bo landed in
tho face of our river battorios. What
ever course tho enemy may adopt, ha
will meet an invincible opposition, und
bo thoroughly convinced of tho truth,
that success crowns tho efforts of those
only struggling for their just rights, in
a great and gloriouB cause. Vicksburg,
"the gallant City of the Wost,” whioh
has so long felt the power of the foe,
still bears her lofty head above tho
Btorm, bidding a stern difiance to all
the strength and threatening fleets of
her “vilo insatiate foo."
“Nil desperandum” is the motts, writ
ten upon tho hearts of hor heroic peo
ple and gallant defenders. It is cm
blazoned, conspicuously, upon overy
standard, and when the hours of strug.
glo comes, which soon it must; all »vi*l

does in those of the past.
Brig. Gen. Barton is now command
ing this division, which constitutes the
left wing. Ho hns, by his untiring
energy and frequent display of milita
ry genius, won for himself, tho confi
dence and admiration of his men. Ho
is, evidently, “the right man in the
right place,” and in my humble opin.
ion, tho Government could pursue no
wiser policy, than promoting him, just
at this particular time.
The health of our command, I am
glad to Bay, is rapidly improving, but
Vow cases reported sick—those conva
lescents. Our only drawback, is the
great scarcity of- provisions in this de
partment. Wo havo often done for
days at a lime, without meat, sub
sisting entirely upon half rations of
coarse corn meal, which is partially tho
result of extreme negligence, on the
part of our commissaries, and should
be looked into, by thoso “in authority,”
and all the delinquents summarily
dealt with.
And just here, lot mo urgo upon the
patriotic; farmors of Floyd, the abso
luto necessity of raising provisions for
tho army. Thus far, our noblo county
has acted well her part, near two thou
sand of her brave and gallant sons, .ac
tuated by true principle of patriotism,
have broken every tie near und dear to
the heart, and gone forth to fight the
battles of their oountry. They are here
upon the borders to hurl back tho inso
lent invaders of theirr.Boil, and expos
ed to all the hardships and privations,
incidents to camp life. Would their
friends have them to succeed in their
great and holy mission ? If so, then
let them direct all strength and energy
to their support. Let them feel the
assurance of an earest co-operation, in
their behalf, of thoso behind at homo.
11 will nerve their arms and ' inspire
tlieir hearts with courage, upon tho
bloody fo ld of battle. Let them go to
work, work earnestly, without ceasing.
Strive to emulate the example of our
noble women, who have exhibited so
much patriotic devotion to our com
mon cause, thus lightening the bur
dens ot the poor and wayworn soldiers.
Having done this, they will then and
not until then, have discharged the ob
ligation they owe to tho country, and
be able t-o gaze once more with delight,
upon tho "sweet bow of peace,” spar-
ning its bright arch across our now dar
kened political heavens.

obstacles of almost impassablo roads,

Crinoline Imitations of the Habits of
Certaia Officials,
yesterday morning some fifteen or
twenty women, residents of this city,
nil decently and some even well dressed
—wearing golden earbobs and breast
pins—collected and went around the
city to a number of our grocery mer
chants and “seized” certain articles of
provision—bacon at one place, meal at
another, vegetables at another, &o., &o.
They did not plead poverty, or pressing
want, or solicit donations or anything
of the kind. They had money, and
said they had employment making
clothes for the government, by which
they could make money, but refused to
give the common prices of the articles
they wanted r therefore, they had col
lected in a body and were going round
setting what they wanted, nnd paying
whatever prices they thought proper,
Atlanta Intelligencer.
Many a man drinks more corn a day
titan lie could eat in bread in tiie snnto
time. Millions of bushels ot grain have
been melted down into mean whisky
whilst our cavalry and wagon horses
have broken down for want of food.
Has uny one man tho moral right to
devour tho subsistence of four men
when subjugation is impending—when
the life, the liberty and properly of all
nre at stake, and may be saved by self
denial? Whilst our country is beleag-
ersd, has any man a moral right to
send tiie resources of tho land out to
buy Yankee broadcloth or jewelry, or
artificial flowers, or lln6 liquors or cigars?
Has any man a moral right to drive
slick horses for a show, when the howos
drawing our baggage trains, our sick
men ond our artillery, are eating oach
other’s tails for want of food.
That journal appeals to the women
of tho Confederacy, whose Losoms are
filled with every gran 1 ail'd noblo and
generous sentiment. It says they can
do much besides knifing stockings nnd
nursing the sick and wounded. “When
tho colonies revolted against King
Goorge's Parliament, did not the ladies
rofusc to drink tho ten? Wns it not
they who set, the example o f weaving
homespun which mado thorn look
more beautiful than ever ? Thoro is
overy possiblo reason to economise in
foreign luxuries and expensive living,
for nil that we possess and otyoy us
human boings, is at stake.”
The Richmond Whig, in an article
headed "Economy in tho Army nnd out
of it,” says: “Do what, the fanners
may, we shall be foroed to do with far
lcsB animal food than we havo been
accustomed to. The army must bo fed
at all hazards, nnd tho nou-uombatants
must give to tho soldier in the field
overy particle of beef und bacon that
can be spared. It is possible that milch
cows may havo to be killed for beef,
and then we shall bo forced to do with
out butter and milch ns we have already
dispensed with ten nnd coffee. But
with industry on the part of our pro
ducers, and economy on the purr of tho
consumers, we shall be able to get along
through tho summer months, nnd by
tho fall wb can obtain n sufficient sup
ply of all kinds of provisions.”
Our country i< so vast nnd so pro
ductive, thut nothing but the most
criminal idleness und extravnguuce can
reduce us to the situation of a belongin'-
edoity. It is a well known fact thut
our enemy havo at all times relied on
starving us into n surrender, nnd that
they nre now desolating the country
with n view to prevent n supply of food
und clothing. Let us take warning
from their barbarous policy.
The Whig ends by berating young
officers who are consuming tho wealth
of the South by encouraging extortion
ers, by buying of them extravagant
uniforms, und guzzling mean whisky
at a dollar a drink.

9. Major White, of General Jones'
command, crossed tho Potomac in n
bout, attacked sevorul parties of the
enemy’s cavalry near Poolsville, Mary
land, and besides those ho killed und
wounded, took 77 prisoners, with horses,
arms, and some wagons, with slight toss
to himself. Captain Randolph, of the
Black Horse Cavalry, has mndo many
bold reconuoisances in Fauquier, tax
ing more than 200 prisoners, and sever
al hundred staud of arms. Lieutenant
Mosby, witli his detachment, lias done
much to harraBs the enemy, atlacking
him boldly on several occasions, and
capturing many prisoners. A detach
ment of seventeen men, of Hampton’s
brigade, under 4he brave Sergeant
Michucl, attaokr eland routed a body
of forty-five Fedorals, near Wolf Run
Sltoals, killing and wounding several,
and bringing otf fifteen prisoners, with
the loss on our part of Sergeant Sparks,
of the 2d Soutn Carolina regiment, who
a few days before, with two of his com
rades, attacked in Brontsville six oi the
enemy sent to take him, killed three
and captured the rest.
In announcing these achievements,
the Commanding General takes special
pleasure in adverting to the promptness
of tho officers in striking a, successful
blow whenever the opportunity offered,
and the endurance and gallantry with
whioh tho men have always supported
their commanders.
Thoso deeds give assurance of vigi
lance, fortitude, and activity, and of
the performance of still more brilliant
nations in the coming campaign,

tiSFli would do a hard-money man
good, says tho Detroit Advertiser, to
go to Canada. The currency consists
almost exclusively of American silver.
Silver ubounds everywhere. Every
body is loaded with it, arid everybody
tries to get rid of it, as people do of
doubtful funds. The taxes are paid in
silvci and the collectors take it by the
bushel. The city treasurer of Toronto
has half a ton of it. Tho merchants
have bags of it in tlieir safes. The
banks won’t receive it. Tho Groat
Western Railway hns issued pr.nted
notices that only five per cont. of sil
ver will be received for fare or freight.
Only think ot n country where you cun-
not pay your fare on the oars in silver
coin 1 At Toronto, London and else
where,- business men aud firms have
united in a general resolution to re
ceive silver only at a discount of five
percent, for Canada bank paper. This,
of course, applies to American silver,

Yankek Deviltry.—Tho Shelbyvillo,
Tenn., Banner suya that very recently
a foraging party of tiie enemy, escorted
by a command of cavalry, visited tho
premisos of Mr. Anthony, in William
son county. The Colonel, Major und
other officers entered the houso and
indulged in the usual freedom and
license. At tiie same time they per
mitted a number of. negro teamsters to
seize the daughters of M.. Anthrny
and ravislt thoso unprotected females.
Yheir mother besought the protection
'ot tho officors, but these brutal men,
only cursed her ns a d—d rebel, saying
hat they understood that tho husbands
of her daughters were in tho Confed
erate service, and they were being
served properly thus to be outraged by
race they had enslaved.
