A telegram informs us that the Abo
lition General MifcWl is preparing n
raid into Alabama and Georgia. This
ought to bo warning enough for us.—
The companies of the Legion should
drill as rapidly as the nature of circum.
stances will admit, and every precau
tion taken to guard against surprise,
Jtg“From what we can learn the
heavy rains of last week, did no dam
age to the wheqt. For a fow days past
the weather has been very fine for har
vesting, and it lias been .wisely im
proved, 1
BOfOne of the best items of news
we see from Bifigg army is the state
ment that thousands of the soldiers are
professing religion—enlisting in a cam
paign against the world, the flesh and
the devil, under the banners of tho
Redeemer. Surely an army thus pan
oplied must bo irresistable. This is the
“silver lining” to the dark cloud that
hangs over us. What a brilliant, hope
ful contrast it presents to the hordes of
incarnate fiends that are now scourging
us. ThiB is appealing in the right man
ner, to the only foreign power to which
we ought to appeal, or to which wo can
1 I ,„UV. .... I .........
appeal,' with any hope of suoeoss,-
Would to Heavon that this religious
fooling Could bo awakened among those
who aro at heme, wo might then hope
for tho rose-tinted Aurora of peace to
dawn upon our blood-stained and un
happy country.
JafWo see that efforts are being
by speculators, in certain portions of
tho country, to keep the price of flour
up to its present outrageous standard,
by offering a heavy price for wheat.—
Now if our farmers arc so devoid of
patriotism as to second the effort* of
these infamous heartless wretches, by
demanding such prices, as being the
market price, and selling to this class,
instead of to consumers, m shall write
them down, as not a whit bettor t linn
speculators. But this w« cannot think
as wo believe the bone iind sinew of
our land, will prove ton patriotic to
forge chains and boltsfor their own sub
jugation. When we take iuto consid
eration the recent plan udoptod by the
Abolitionists for our Bubjugnt'on, we
unhesitatingly pronounce any man who
undertakes to run up provisions, n
traitor of the darkest dye, and worthy
of a traitor’s' doom. For their open
and avowed policy is to starve us, and
every spocular in provisions will bo
playing iuto their hands. 11 would not
surprise us if they adopted the policy
of sending emissaries among us to start
prices and run them up as much as
possible, it woul4 therefore bo well for
every man to boon his guard,,particu
larly in regard to strangers.
Editorlnl Correspondence.-
Bivouac 8m Ga. Reu., near 1
Culpepper C. H., Vn., June 6, '63. J
Dear Courier :--The writer re-joined
the Regiment at this plane on the eve
ning of the, 4;th inst. The command,
after leaving Petersburg on the 6 th of
Hay, marched on through Richmond
and to Frederick ITall, sixty-six miles,
in four days. At the latter place they
halted two days, and then proceeded
to Raccoon Ford On the Rapidan River,
where theyi remained until last Thurs
day morning, when they came to this
place.
The health and spirits of the Brigade
are good, and the men are in good con
dition for tho hardships that aro in
prospect.
Yosterday was a gala day for the
cavalry. Gen. J. K. B. Stewart has a
force hero* now numbering, say ten
thousand. There can hardly he im.
prudence in stating the approximate
number, fop bofore this can be publish
ed in Georgia and got to the Yankee
lines, this cavalry can all move, at least,
three hundred miles, but what they
icill probably do, is not to be intimated.
Tho general impression hero is, that
tbero were probably a plenty ef spins
on tho ground yosterday, and as the
enemy have a largo picket force all
along the eust. bank of the Rappahan
nock, six or oight miles hence, these
spies havo doubtless, ero this, roporled
the full partioulaps of tho demonstra
tion. The infantry in this vicinity
wont out to see the “show,” and were
well pleased. The horses are all in
excellent condition, and the men and
horses arc both wall drilled. Their
charges, in columns of squadrons, were
splendid. If they will only charge on
tho cnomy with us much impetuosity
they could hardly be blamed for run
ning. Long rest of tho most jaded,
for man and beast, and rich clover
fields for the latter, have very much
improved this branch of the sorvicc.
The enemy are reported to liavo
obstructed the fords, on tho Rappahan
nock, by throwing in trees and timbers,
stationed batterios and thrown up
breast works, at all the noted passages
of this famous stream. They seem to
apprehend an advanco of our forces ;
whether their conjectures are to bo
realized events will soon show.
An order for a Brigade drill at 8
o’clock tlijs morning was counterman 1
ded, and wo were ordered to cook three
days’ rations and bo Ready for a march
by noon. Tho current belief is that
we are to advanco. Important move
ments are going on, that it would
perhaps, bo imprudent to communicate’,
but I will try to keep you posted on
events as they transpire.

It is said that upon a retreat of the
Confederates, at one point in the fight
ing, our men were so near them us to
plainly distinguish General Hill, and
at the moment a-rifle was leveled at
him, when one of his soldiers was soen
to step before the Genoral and fall at
tho discharge. History has but few
instances of a devotion liko this. Dur
ing this melancholy war a similar case
is known to have occurred, in tho vol
untary death of a young man in Mis
souri, who took the place , of another
who had a dependent family, but who
was a total stranger to tho youth who
thus saved him at tho oxponse of his

Uov. E. L. Compeer, Missionary lo
tho Cherokees, is now in our State,
commissioned to receive and trans
port to destination, such supplies of
clothing and bod clothing as the be
nevolent may be disposed to contrib
ute to tho suflering soldiers and women
and children now south of thc Arkan
sas River. In a letter published in the
Bannov of last week, Brother Compeer
doscribes the eondilion of that people
as most deplorable. Having been driv
en without exception (when found to
sympathize with tho South,) from their
homes; they are now a nation of wan
derers, without provisions or clothing.
Six hundred women and children fol
low tho army ns the only resource
from immediate starvation; whole
families not having a second suit of
clothes, nor more than one or two bed
quilts among them. In this awful con
dition, with no hope of relief at home
or in the nation, they appeal to the
humane of those sections not yet
visited by the enemy, to send them
such clothing ns will help to shield
them from the cold and tempests of
the coming winter.
Brother Compeer is acting Chaplain
of the 2d Cherokee Regiment, and
under the orders of Col. Adair. He is
authorized to 4 received anything which
may be contributed to cither soldier or
citizen, and will obtain transportation
through the Secretary of War.
Let it be understood that the people
here referred to, are not savage Indians
—many aro whites, and many of those
who are of Indian blood aro educated
and civilized persons—many are re
fined and delioato jvomen as those in
our own State. What a horrible con
dition,.even in the pleasant summer.
How insufferable must it become should
the winter overtake them unprovided
for? Let alt help that can.
The subscriber has been requested
to take charge of any donations that
may be made,' and anything left at his
residence or tho Depot, will be thank
fully received.
Brother Compeer will preach at thc
