Indications.
“Hermes” writing from Richmond on the 12th
instant, to the Charleston Mercury, says: “There
are some indications here in Richmond, which
are lull of meaning; whether for good or bad,
yon may judge. The French Consul has been
making the most minute inquiries as to the
depth of the water in James River, and wliat
tonnage it wilPadinit. Immense quantities of
tobacco are stored here for the French Emperor.
Moreover, the Peruvian Minister is erecting
here a great warehouse for guano.”
We take the following items from the Norfolk
Bool.-, of the 14th instant:
OffrreO the Doth.—It is reported that the Fed
eralists have proclaimed to the people of Eliza
beth City, that they will give them four days in
which to take the oalli of allegiance, and have
notified them that those who fail to take it will
have their property confiscated at the expiration
ot that time and themselves made prisoners.
Jinn, thou (>ot.- The idea of constructor
fire-rafts up the various rivers, communicatin
with the Sounds of North Carolina., where it is
likely the enemy’s gunboats may be tempted to
visit, is not a bad one. Such rafts iu sufficient
numbers, could speedily be thrown together,
composed of such combustible material as the
Old North State abounds in, and keep- ready
waiting for the approach of the enemy.
If We Sueeeed,
In litis war, we must bestir ourselves and that
right early. We must volunteer by hundreds
of thousands, and be ready for service in the
Spring. The Kangaroo dynasty is making the
last desperate struggle of a despairing man.—
The Yankees feel the pressing necessity <>i
crushing out the rebels at once. They are on
their last legs for money, unless.- they tax their
people for it ,or take it by force. The sign-
from Europe are most cheering to us and dam
aging to their cause; and unless they subdue
and conquer us very soon, they feel that they
will have Europe on their hands to deal with.—
Now, that the fragment of their means is on
hand, and their monster expeditions are under
way, we look for them to put forth their whole
might, as they never did before; and wo unto
us, if we do not make ready to meet it as be
come- us. We ear, repulse them every linn*
they come out from their gunboats and war
hips and meet n« where we can get at them, if
we will make the necessary preparations, with
vigor and determination.
Sh van nali.
We are daily looking for an attack by an
enormous force upon SaVannah. We hope
the river will be so blockaded ae to prevent
the approach of the enemy’s gunboats, and*
that our forces on Skidaway Island will not
be iu shelling distance of them. We waut no
more Roanoke affairs. We should block up
our rivers so they can't be navigated, aud then
meet the enemy on land. We have uo gun
boats to meet theirs with, and have not the
means to make them. Indeed, we should not
try to make them if we could. We should save
the expense and apply it to equipiDg our laud
forces. They can’t conquer us as long as they
keep off our soil and out of the heart ol our
country. Whenever they come on land, we
cau whip out the cowards. Let U9 make prep
arations for hand to hand conflicts, where the
vandals will not have their naval armament
at their back to fight under its protection.
Volunteering and Drafting.
Gen. WayDe’9 instructions in a general or
der oi ihe 1 -Itb instant, invites volunteer com
panies to lender their services before the 4th
of March. They will be deducted from the
apportionment of the several couulies.
No company is to contain less than 78 nor
more than 114.
It it be neeessery to draft in any county lo
make up the required number, those absent
from the parade shall be first drafted, en masse.
It (his does not make up the number required,
the unmarried men ( without families) shall
first be drafted from. If two-thirds of these
are exhausted without supplying the appor
tionment, the married men and widowers shall
be drafted to supply the remainder.
will publish ihe order to morrow.
'Ihe Louisville “Courier.’’
This sttcrling Southern Journal, whose edi
tor.-were run out of Louisville, and who soon
after established it at Bowling Greeu, has been
compelled to make another move with our re
tiring army, ft is now published in Nashville.
It is a Daily paper published at <5 cent- per
month. It- issue of tlic loth, says:
“Our experience at Louisville having vividly
impressed us with the inconvenience resulting
lromthe suppression of the Courier,aud not de
siring that experiment to be repeated upon u-
again, we have concluded, after taking into due
consideration the exigencies of the ease, to re
move our office, for tin* present at least, tft
Nashville.

Another Old Hulk Sunk.
The Charleston Courier of the 15th instant,
-ays: The Yankee fleet off this port, brought up
an old bark on Thursday last, and sunk her to
the South of the Rattlesnake Shoals, where her
-pars may he seen above water. S-he bloc-leaders
in sight, have been, for some time, three steam
ers and a bark. These arc all that are visible
from the city: but it is said that some of their
vessels are occasionally ob-ered ernisimr off the.
shore.
Vo Ylarrjiii};!
Several ladies iu this city have given out
that they will not marry any man between
this time aud the 4th of March, unless he w^li
first v< luateer. We hear it stated that two
eoupie9 who were engaged for next week, have
postponed their nuptials till after the 4th
proximo at. least—perLapc 1;]! jitter the War.
It is thought the Ordinary of this county will
not issue any more licenses than cornmou.
“Yankee Doodle’s Ride to Richmond.”
Our much esteemed cotemporary, the Charles
ton Courier, makes an explanation concerning
the appearance of Mr. Birch’s satire in its .col
umns without giving us credit, which is entire
ly satisfactory, and we cheerfully exculpate it-
editor from any want of care or any inattention
to the courtesies of the press. He says he cop
ied it from a handsome bill or circular, furnish
ed by a friend, and not from our columns, and
that he was no! aware of it having been written
expressly for u«, and fir-T published in our col
umns.
We were not aware that it had been .publish
ed in the form of a bill or circular by any one.
We had noticed it in our exchanges—alway-
witli the proper credit; and we are of opinion
the publisher of the hand bill alluded to was
very negligent in not giving ns the proper cred
it.
- - ♦ ♦
•itiiitniiftli .Haller*.
The telegraph between the cily and Fort
Pulaski is cut by the enemy. They have bat
teries at Venus’ Point, which command the
channel of the river, and communication with
the Fort, by water, can only be accomplished
under fire ef the enemy's guns. Active move
ments and demonstrations have been made by
the enemy lately. It seems to us that Fort
Pulaski ought to be evacuated, a? it no longer
defends the cily.

Richmond, Feb. 16.—The Baltimore Re
publican of the 14th has accounts from Port

Col. Mitchell, the militia commander of

intend to interfere with private property, or
