Never Despond.
The almost unbroken seiies of suc
cesses of our armies during the
past eighteen months illy prepared the emergency,
people for oven slight reverses. Hence , M
the fall of \ icksburg and the cloud
now hanging over Charleston, has cast. either of mftking display, or
a shade of gloom of most unreasonable ! f, ..f,., . _* 1. ,i„.
; officer commanding, they aro requested
to*take notice that this is a time of no
sy.
t and men, composing'
this company, are not organized for the
intensity, over the minds of so.no fair-
day patriots. If Vicksburg had fallen
a year ago, it would have produced very
little dispondendy, lor it was not then
expected that our forces could hold it-
Rut it had 'been most gallantry held so
long, and the enemy had been so re
peatedly ropulsed with fearful slaught
er, that many had came to consider
that it ought to be permanently held
against all odds, and uudor all sorts of
disadvantageous circumstancos.
Now this expectation was as unreas
onable as the present despondency, oc
casioned by it, is senseless Though
Vicksburg is gone, "all is not lost.”—
We now hold more of the state of Missis,
ulppi, (and for that matter of Alabama
and Tonnossce too,) than wo have at a
previous date. . In the first namod
state,'’the'abolitionists now hold only a
little strip bordering on tho rivor,
anc^only detached portions even of
this, and they have by no means seeur-
ed uninterrupted navigation of tho
great "fathor of waters," the Mi-sissip
P>- .
There aro thousands of pltceB be
tween Vicksburg and New Orleans,
whero we can ambush in a single night,
a battery of six or eight thirty-two
pounders and sink a half dozen of tbo
first fieot of transports that may -at.
tempt to pass. This is already appre
hended by the Fedorals and Com. Por
ter has issued an order tliat no steam
ers shall pass between Vioksburg and
Now Orleans, except with a convoy
of gunboats. But this will not savo
them, for an .ambushed land battery
. could shoot a half dozen rounds info
passing steamers, and get out of the
way before tho guns from the iron clads
could be brought to bear on them.
In addition to this, our sharpshooters
can continually piok off their pilots,
and all men who expose themselves on
these hated yankee crafts. We liavo
got over a thousand miles of rivor bank
on which to operate, and a large por
tion of this is covered with dense for
est. Think you that under those cir
cumstances tho yanlcees are going to
have “uninterrupted navigation” of the
Mississippi f Nay, never until the
fiery blood of Southern chivalry’ be
comes stagnant with loathsome fears.

skulking out of tho more active de
partments of service and to bo of any
service to the oouutry, they must bo
drilled noWi for most of thorn aremen
whoso duty compels them to remain at
this point, and this company will not
bo called into active servico until tho
last moment; certainly when the army
in the field is absent from homo, and
sufleriiig hardships in tho field, wo who
remain at homo und enjoy comparative
luxury, onnnot well excuse ourselves
from tho necessary drill, and Bhuuld
feel thankful that for tho present wo
are getting off with so small a sacrifice
of time nnd convenience.
No claim of business will avail as an
oxcuso icfr absence from meeting, ob it
is well known that everybody can
manage their affairs as to spare the
small amount of time that tho country
requires, that they shall spend in pre
paring themselves for active service
when called on.
Any man absenting himself from
drill without lawful oxcuso will be
dealt with according to military law.

Payment ron. Supplies.—-A corres
pondent asks the Riolimond Sentinel
whotlior those who have furnished
supplies for the use of tho Government
are paid according to the valuation of
the county committee, appointed under
the recommendation of tho Secretary
of War,-or by the scale of prices pub
lished by tho Appraiser under the Im
pressment law. That paper gives the
annexed offioi al answer to the quea
tion.
Whero tjie supplies were delivered
prior to tho action of the Appraisers,
payment is to be made aooorfimg to the
valuation, of the county committees,
unless that valuation is, in the opinion
of the Government officer, so very ex
cessive as to require reference to the
Appraisers by way of appeal.
• The county committees were intend
ed as a temporary agency, whose func
tions ceased when the Appraisers on
tered upon their duties.

From the Valley.—-The latest intel
ligence wo have from the Valley leaves
no doubt as to the fact that the enemy
has again occupied Winchester in con
siderable force, nnd that they have ex
tended their lines as far as Middletown,
on tho Valley Turnpike, seven miles
east of StrOBburg.
A gentleman who left the neighbor-
liood.of Borryville, Clarke county, on
Friday morning last, says that a regi.
ment of New York cavalry encamped
at Berry ville on Thursday night. On
Friday a force, composed of artillery,
infantry, and cavalry, oocupied Win
Chester, moving up from Martinsburg.
It was reported that there was a large
force in the Lower Valley, and it was
the belief that the enemy wero concen
trating a largo force with a view of
sending a heavy column up the Valley.
—Rich. r>hpaich,7th.
nnd.ffir a good while back, than they
ever did before the war ; and that this
should happen without somo fraudul
ent understanding, is simply impossi
ble. .
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Nassntt, si*ys;
‘Charleston or Savannah, Hi their
palmiest days, were neve* st>’ oVerrtm
with ootton as is tho city of NnrJitu at
tho' present motnont.—Every available
place large enough to hold half a dozen
balcB is crammed full and running
over. It is piled Up six of oight bales
deep on tho wharves, vacant Tots, and
oven on somo of tho lawns. It is liter
ally -‘laying nreutttl loose.”
"Tho blockade, reported to be so
effective two weeks ago that it was
impossible for a vessel to leave Charles
ton, would seom to bo somewhat re
laxed, judging by the arrivals here
during tho last ten days. Tke steam-
era Charleston .Lizzie, Fannie, Allee,
Racoon, Kate, Ella and Aunio 1 Banshee
Antonica, Beauregard and ono or two
others, have till arrived during that
time from Wilmington nnd Charleston,
with full cargoes of cotton, ar.d somo
havo left again for Dixie.”
Some time ago we had a suspicion
that this blockade running was conniv
ed nt by the Yapkoo naval authorities,
merely to let in quantities of Ynnkeo
goods," propared for our market, and
sent to' Nassau, to bo thence shipped to
oUr ports as English goods. Subsequent
information, however, made itapparant
that tho greater part of that- traffic was
bona fide English. In either case, a
largo trade, permitted to be carried on
through a pretended blockade, [no
matter for whose account,) is'an im
mense fraud upon all tho other nations
of the oarth, and a serious impoverish
ment td us, owin; to the sacrifices
which must bo wane to procure storling
exchange.
A peculiar part --f tho ease is, that
while English vessels with English car
goes, throng our seaports, tho English
government still pretends to regard
those seaports as blockaded. Seriously
we cannot explain these facts except
on the supposition thus clearly put tip
forward by the Whig;
There can be na longer any reason
able doubt that Soward and Lord Lyons
havo entered into an arrangement by
which ootton is to pasrthe blockade at
Charleston and Wilmington, in return
for which the British Government
binds itsolf not to recognize the Con
federate States, nor to raise any ques
tion as to the validity of the blockade.
A correspondence occurred last fall
between Lyons and Seward, in which
the former put the question to the lat
ter whether cotton could not bo allow
ed to pass the blockade. Selvard pro
tended ta think tho proposition inad-
missable, but it was no doubt arranged
between them privately. In no other
way can \fe account for the fact that
vessels engaged in tho cotton trade are
allowed to pass out and in (With retain
cargoes of Yankee goods, for the ir.eSV
part) without molestation ; whereas, if
a vessel freighted with munitions of
war, machinery, &o., for tho goverh-
mont attempts to como in, it. is almost
certainly captured. Nor can we in
any other way explain llio fact tliat,
while the shipping Easiness at Wil-
mingtontand Charleston is now three
or lour times greater than it was
before the blockade wsb declared, tho
English Government porsists in main
taining that tho blockado is perfectly
•legal and valid. That there is a secret
understanding botween Seward and
the British Cabinet on Ibis subject, and
that tho blockading squadrons off
Charleston and Wilmington have in
structions not- to interfere with vcbsoIs
in t-ho exportation of cotton,
engaged i ,
is too clear to admit of doubt. The
matter should, if possible, be brought
to the attention of France and other
European Governments,' ns to all of
whom it is a piece of bad faith and
trickory that they would not he slow
to resent by pronouncing the blockado
null and voi 1.
