The Express Compauy.
For a week or more, we have noticed two oi
three newspapers making a war on the South
ern Express Company—obarging it with dis
loyalty to the Confederate States, in some ca
ses, and in others with extortion in making
charges for the transportation of packages to
our aoldiers, Ae. We have oarefully noticed
theee newspaper attacks on the company, aud
have failed to discover the slightest evidence
of disloyalty or impropriety. Nothing of the
kind has been elicited eo far, and we are very
cure nothing of the kind existe. The war on
the company is purely melieioue, and without
a tingle eireumetanee to justify it. This is
our conclusion from all the lights before ue.
In the first place, if it was nn unfriendly
ooaeern, en organisation of enemies, it would
soon be exposed. No such extensive an or
ganisation, having so many men in it, located
in every eity and railroad station in the South,
and having such daily and sxtensivo inter
course with our people, could bo disloyal and
keep it concealed. If they were doing any
thing against our interest or safety, it would
be discovered at once
Secondly, the men who own the stook of the
company, and are its employees, are known,
ars of us and with ns. It is urged that some
of its empioyeta are Yankees, aod an attempt
is made to create public prejudice against
thsm on this aecount. It is true that there
are some men of Northern birth connected
with the company, but it is also true that
there are men of Northern birth in every com
munity and connected with every occupation
or business that people in the South are en
gaged in. We know some Yankees that are
farmers, and others lawyers and merchants.
It would be equally as charitable and reason
able to charge that the farmers, lawyers or
merchants, as a elsss, were nnsound, as to cry
out sgsiost the Express Company, calling it
an unsound and disloyal organization, because
■ome men employed by it were so unfortunate
as to be b>rn in the North.
There are a number of Northern born
men in the army—some privates and some
officers—who aro aa loyal aud faithful to tho
Confederate States as any native to the manor
born. A few Yankees have gone into the
army from the South, and, alter getting to
head-quarters, have stepped across the lines
and gone over to the enemy, and a few South
ern born men have dooe the same thing. A
few Yankees now atnoug us are traitors at
heart, and we have no doubt a few Southern
men among us are, if their hearts were open
to be seen and read of all men. We hope this
tirade against the company will cease. It is
groundless and unjust. The Express-men are
as loyal u any other set of men or organiza
tion of equal numbers.
It is one of the greatest conveniences of the
age. Except the Post Office, the public has
no suoh accommodation. If anybody thinks
the chargee are unreasonable, and that they
are guilty of extortion, the door is open to
competition. Do their work cheaper, and they
will soon be forced to shut up shop.
News from ManaNsas.
It did not come. It is shut oft We have no
Intelligence from there either by letter or tele
graph Bincc the 27th July. Some of our citizens
have come from the place since then, hut they
are under a pledge not to tell anything of the
movements of the army.
We all want to hear from our friends, and to
know what Beauregard and Johnston are driv
ing at, but wc can’t know it just now. Well, it
is all right. We’ll bear It, and beg our readers
to do so, because we can’t help it if wc try. In
the meantime, lookout to hear of something
grand before long.

The Lincoln Congress has adjourned, tine
die, without ratifying ffin Apeship’s uncor sti
tutional aets. A bill to tbai effect had passe J
both Houses, perhaps, several limes: but
there was always some amendment tacked on,
which required it to be sent back to the other
House. In this way, it fell through to the
and of the session.
It. howsver, is tacitly iudor»ed, for he was
not impeached.
8ad DisAProiNTNENT.-The Legislature of the
vagabond Carlile Government was Is session in
Wheeling at the time of the battle of Manassas.
It was about to adjourn on the eve of that bat
tle: but a message was received by it from Abe
Lincoln, urging it to remain In session a few
days longer, In order that tho whole Govern
ment might adjourn to Richmond and organize
In the Capitol there! The Legislature nostponed
its day of adjournment, and awaited with de
lightful anticipations, the news of that certain
victory which was to give them the possession
of a real Government House and Capitol, and a
plenty of money to pay their grog and board
bills and furnish them with new clothes in lieu
of their dilapidated toggery. But In place of
vlctoiy came defeat, and the poverty-stricken
and disappointed counterfeit statesmen adjourn
ed in disgust, and “dispersed to their respective
homes.” to reflect upon their treachery. We
have this curious circumstance from good au
thority.—-Richmond DiajtateA, 6(4
A friend of ours suggests tbsl instead of the
ladiee parting with their jewels, that the *eu -
tlemen should part with their liquor and to-
bacoo. He eays (and we concur with him)
that it is their business to inersase our pleas
ure by looking as lovely as they can. But an
old bacholor crustily remarked : " How could
we have the spirit to admire them if sur spi
rits were taken away V The remark was vo
ted out of order, and he was requested to
leave. He did eo.— Vicksburg Sun.
