(Jen. I.eo was in Petersburg ami directed the npe mtiuns of the entire army and tho citizens, officers and solciers were cool, conlident, sanguine and itc teriiiiiicd. I, lent. II. assures us that no fears of a defeat were felt by any one, and that tho army was never in better spirits or moro sanguine. In the light on Wednesday, some siege guns that had been planted by tho eueiny near Ihecily were disin. Hinted, and but few shells were thrown into the city during l.ieut. Hoke's stay.

The line of battle was formed and the charge ordered, but afterwards delay being coiishlerrd desirable, it was countermanded. Tho countermand reached only a part of the troops. The rest accordingly moved forward. ThoTu.x aiis of Fields' division were among thono that were lrdleil; hut seeing the other purl of Ihe lino move on, they become restless, and finally impracticable, lly ones, and twos, and s.piuds, they hroko ranks and went forward. The contagion spread, until soon the whole command, olbeers and all, took up the well known yell, and rn.-hed on like a storm. The works were every wlioio carried, and what is extremely gratifying, with hut little loss. (ien.

Iigality of in.-n mid means, of hi I and Irca-uio, is never lo be repaid in ''us world. The brutality our enemies have shown in their Irealineiit of women is, ahoie all, h,.ih character istic of Ihcir uuliou and iniYicnlive of (heir souse that all is over with the "war for ihu Union. ; Let us recall two lale examples of this. A few days ago was recorded the case of poor Mrs. Corry. near liclhesda Church, who, alter her place was Mrippcd of every means of suhsislcneo, went to the rullian w ho eall-Jhiinself lleneral Warren, soliciting per mis-ion to buy a lillle portion of her own plun dcrcl stoics lo feed her two sick and starving ehil- licii. "We keep nothing for sale,'' replied Ihe licncral. "T hen," said the half frantic woman "1 will beg: give me, for (toil's .sake, a meal of meat for my sick children." "Madam," replied this "(ieneral," "we read that during the siege of Jeru salcni women were reduced to eat their children." This scene we have verilied. It is hue; and Ihe man who said I hose base and coward words c.iiu in. in. Is a corps of (ho army now thundering at our gales. Another example: a 'Afonian.a Yirgiuia wo man, uiolher of Conlodoriilo sons, finding herself all abmu within the yankee lines, obtained un interview with liciieial liraut, and solicited a puss to eomo (o Kichinond lo hrrl'iiends for safely. "Vim are bctler where you are," was ll,e Visitor. "When 1 enter Kichmou.I woman's cons will not be safe." Il is good for n to hear, to think over, lo lay lo heart, incidents like theso; they fortifiy us with all the strength of holy horror, from sacred rage. They make us feel that between us and thai yaiikue na tion there is a gulf fixed; and that, whatever be tide, we and they are two nalious now and forever niore. Yet there is people eallinsr. themselves Confeder ates, eoniforlabie citizens, who have never seen any of the real horror of war, who have never lost a night's sleep, nor a meal's meal in all these 'lireo years of struggle, yet who complain of privation, of high prices, of the difficulty of procuring Ihe line fabrics or rich wme they have been accustom ed to ; and who wish this cruel war was over, that they may replenish their cellars with French wines ami go to Newport for the summer, Lxainples of such species of Confederates are perhaps rare ; yet a respected clergyman of this city, in an eloipient seriiion yesterday, preaching on tho text, "Is not the life iiiiiio than meat, anil tho hotly more than raiment ?" did think il. his duty to rebuke sternly thosu who, living at lioine at ease, have yet the im pudunoii Ui euuipUiu of thu luivutiuui to which uc Indignantly lie held up to llietu tho example of our good und gallant soldiers, thousands of whom were used to sleep soft and to feast high, but now lor three long years' bivouac in tho mud and munch llio coarsest furu coiitenliidly, because they know they must do this or sink into serfs and slaves; be cause they understand that if the enemy come in they will never Tigiiiu live in homes of their own, nor lead their own lives in their own way, nor gov ern their own households, nor call their very souls their own; and because they understand that Ihe life is mure than meat and Ihe body is more than raiment. Can it indeed bo needful, at this day, wilh such an enemy al our door, to inculcate inch a lesson, and to prove to persons of luxurious life, but grovelling spirit, that it is heller to deny them selves for a season some extravagant lu.xurieu than to admit masters and owners who will rule them and their children with a rod of iron unto the third and fourth generation. llii hrnuml Examiner. - A I'leanant Trip. M'e speni yesterday vei;v pleasantly visiting the llalh Paper Mill, and the works of the Southern Porcelain Manufacturing Company. The ilatli Mill is being pressed forward lo eom ple'ion as rapidly as possible, under existing cir cumstances, by Mr. W. H. Huso, Ihe courteous and untiring agent, and will, when completed, be tho largest, and best arranged Paper Mill in Ihe Confederacy. Mr. Huso has had many difficul ties to conlend against in pulling forward Ihe work thus far, which nothing but indomitable will and persei eranee could have overcome. ll is now nearly eouiplete'd, and we hope soon to have the pleasure of aiiiuyuneing it in successful operation. The Porcelain works arc now under a new cyi'iic, Col. llulloek as President, and our friend li. W. Kimball, Ksip; lale of Ihe Kxpress Company, Su perintendent names that are a sure guarantee for energy .and dash in all mailers of business. Theso were thu otilv works of Ihe kind in the Confedera cy at Ihe coniinenceinent of the war, and have I been of great benefit to the country, supplying an iiidi-'peusable want. Tl ey are manufacturing a good article of Kaolin ware, udoptctl lo all household Wauls, such as pitchers, bowls, plates, cups and saucers, etc., and aro also making excellent lire brick. Their wares tiro kept for sale next dooi to our office, and wo advise those in want to call and examine them. After spending a pleasant hour or s at the Por celain Works, and imbibing sumo very line "spring water," we returned home, much refreshed hy the trip, tho agreability of which was greatly enhanced by Ihe hospitality of our old and esteemed friend Hickman, formerly of the South (.'arulina Hailrouil. .lu.yiistif Cull, The Value and I'scs nl' VegetaliUs, To the sick, wounded, and particularly the con valescent, a vegetable diet ia most healthful and desirable, and Ihe abundance of the supply ought ! to secure it as daily food. I think none will deny I that one-loiirih ol ti pound ol hacon, cooked as it ought to be and can be, wilh lifty cents worth of vegetables, will go much further than a pound of bacon and bo much more healthy. Tho fourth of a pound of bacon will cost eighty-two cents ; the vegetaiiles collards, cabbages, .suashcs, heels, cucumbers, onions, shallots, ,'rish potatoes, Ac, say fifty cents, making tho sum for a meal for two hearty men 1 ilO. cooked alone, a half pound of luicoii is the usual allowance tor one man, and 1 costs $1 til. llesides, then, its more healthful and f acceptable character, two ir.tu can be dined upon j eighty-two cents, whilo the exclusive bacon ration . for one u an costs 51 CI. llow important both to the sick and to the gov ernment, if thesa suggestions bo well based that the attention of hospital superinteudeuts and stew- ar.ls he directed to them. Not only can tho sick and wounded soldiers bo much better and cheaper fed, but so can the gov eminent laborers, both white and black, fur never was any market so well and abundantly supplied with vegetables, and at prices greatly cheaper than anything else is sold. (.'oiiiintii A'ny. .-f (In the authority of a letter roconlly pub lished by one of our religions papers, says an ex change, written by a di-tinguished Southern di vine, now in New York, doubtless on parole, it was stated in ono of the prayer meetings in that city, that there has not been a single couvcrsiou in tho Yankee unity aineo the war commenced. In our own, it has boeu estimated that thousands on thou sands have been converted. If a stupid speaker has prodigious lungs, he can till with his voice the largest house and empty it too.
