A New Article of War.—The Northern
papers say that the following new article of
war has passed Congress, and will be imme
diately promulgated for the government of
the United States army. It will be seen that
this is no less than an open declaration that
slavery is to be abolished, since, as the liaes
of the enemy encroach upon our territory,
the slaves within them are to be set free.—
The article is as follows :
All officers in the military or naval service of
the United States are prohibited from em
ploying any of the forces under their respect
ive commands for the purpose of returning
fugitives from service or labor who may have
escaped from any persons to whom 6uch ser
vice or labor is claimed to be due, and any
officer who shall be found guilty by court
martial of violating this article shall be dis
missed from the service.
From the Richmond Enquirer, March 8.
The Pretended Exposures by the Charles
ton Mercury aud Richmond W hig.
The Richmond Whig. of'the Gt'n inst., has
attempted to sustain its assault of the day be
fore on the President’s administration, by the
reproduction of an article from the Charles
ton Mercury, which professes to give “infor
mation from a good source” as to what " the
President has done or failed to do” in relation
to certain matters connected with the public
defence
We propose to show, from information which
we have received from more reliable sources
than any to which the Mercury has access,
that ail the allegations and their various spe
cifications made by the Mercury aro destitute
of foundation in truth.
We do this not merely in order to refute the
charges contained in this article, but also to
show the public ii..w utterly unreliable are
the sources of the Mercury's information. To
do this effectually, we propose to republ’sh the
various allegations, seriatim, in the Mercury’s
own language:
I. “The Provisional Congress, at its last ses
sion passed a bill granting bounties to the set
ting up and establishing of manufactures of
arms, saltpetre and gunpowder. A certain
advance of money was to be made to the man
ufacturer of these articles, when he had ad
vanced a certain stage in putting up the fac
tories, which was to be returned in the arti
cles manufactured. The President vetoed the
bill, and it failed.”
The bill here referred to was so loosely
drawn, and so completely put the Government
in the power of speculators, that when the
President gave his reasons for not approving
it, the body which had passed it sustained the
President’s veto by an almost unanimous
vote, and to this hour no injury or inconve
nience has resulted from its rejection.
II. “The Harper’s Ferry machinery, for the
manufacture of arms, was turned over by
Virginia to the Confederate States when Vir
ginia seceded from the Union. It was sent, to
be put into operation, to Fayetteville, North
Carolina; a few months ago, and not a gun
had yet been furnished to the army. It had
not yet got into operation.”
This charge is utterly untrue from begin
ning to end, as a simple statement of facts
will snow, The Jlarper’g Ferry machinery
consisted of two parts—that for the manufac
ture of muskets, and that for the manufacture
of rifles. The musketry machinery was, after
much negotiation, turned over to the Confed
erate States, in the month of July, in the box
es in which it was conveyed from Harper’s
Ferry to this city; was,-as promptly as pos
sible, set up and put ia operation, and has
been lor several months furnishing as many
muskets per month as the number of workmen
which could be procured could make. The
rifle machinery, to which the Mercury special
ly refers, has never been turned over to the
Confederate States. It was lent to the State
of North Carolina by Virginia, to bo put up
at Fayetteville, in the former State, and was
transported thither in June last, every aid be
ing given to the agent of North Carolina by
the Confederate Government. When it was
being put up in the Confederate States Arse
nal at Fayetteville, it was found that the por
tion for making locks was missing, and im
mediate steps were taken to supply the defect
by manufacturing the necessary machinery
hero. In the meantime locks were made here
and sent to F ayettuviile to be attached to the
rifles, a number of which have been made
monthly for several months.
III. ‘‘Three manufactories of arms were in
Tennessee. Their proprietors sought to make
contracts for the manufacture of arms with
the Confederate Government. Not being able
to succeed, one or more of them came to Rich
mond during the sitting of the late Congress,
to interest the members of Congress from Ten
nessee in their behalf, The War Office de
clined to make contracts for the purchase of
arms manufactured by these factories, on the
ground that it had no money. On inquiry
money, it turned out that the"Treasury De
partment could not have Treasury notes sign
ed fast enough. Five and ten dollar Treasu
ry notes were at a premium of three and four
per cent, at New Orleans, for currency. The
contractors and creditors, of course, demand
ed those notes, instead of fifty or one hundred
dollar notes, and the Treasury was most labo
riously trying to meet their demands, altho’
bound by no contract to do so. Hence the
Government could not meet its engagements,
or contract to buy these arm3. The Treasury
was twelve millions in arrears to the War De
partment.”
To this count of the Mercury's indictment,
we reply by the following narrative of the
circumstances to which it ha3 reference:
Afield officer of a regiment of Tennessee
volunteers, which had just been raised, ac
companied by a Member of Congress from
that State, applied to the Secretary of War
for arms for his men. On being informed that
the War Department could not then grant his
request, he asked the Secretary why the ord
nance officer in Tennessee did not contract
with the three manufactories, referred to
above, to furnish arms, alleging that they
were ready to do so at $25 per piece. Tbo
Secretary replied that he authorized him to
make a contract with them immediately, and
to ensure speedy delivery, further authorized
the paynteat of $30 per piece. These facta
were stated by the above mentioned Member
of the Provisional Congress, at a meeting of
the Finance Committee. This gentleman’s
statement was subsequently distorted just as
the Mercury has misconstrued it, and he reit
erated his statement on the floor of the House,
showing that the War Depa tment had done
everything in its power to secure the pur
chase of every arm that could be furnished.
The other allegations of the Mercury, in rela
tion to Treasury notes, Ac., fall with the chargo
which they are designed to susta.n.
IV. “ When the first Congress of the Con
federate States met at Montgomery, it was
clear to every one that war was not an im
probable event. Prudence required prepara
tion. By the C notation, Congress could
make no appropriation ot money but at the
call of the Executive. It was urged on the
Government to call for several millions of
money, and to 6end it to Europe immediately
to buy arms and munitions cf war. The Gov
ernment wouid call lor only money enough to
purchase some fifteen thousand small arms;
and when the second Congress assembled, and
war was declared,“no sgent had yet gone to
Europe to purchase even these arms.”
When the first Congress met in Montgome
ry there was much diversity of opinion as to
the probability of war. Many believed that
there would be a peaceable'solution of our
troubles, and that there would be no war with
the L nited States. Among that number no
one was more emphatic in tbe expression of
his opinion that Mr. Rfaett, of South Carolina,
upon whose au.hority these c-harges are now
evidently made. The President, however,
was not so sanguine of a peaceful solution of
our difficulties, aud immediately proceeded to
take the necessary measures to prepare the
country for war, and so far from the charges
contained in the above paragraph being true,
at the meeting of the second session of the
Congress, -9ih April, 1S61, the Government
a ? CCOn d a £ e nt on his way to Europe
charged with the purchase of arms and muni
tions ot war, the first agent employed for that
purpose having, after considerable delay, de
clined the service. Fortunately for the coun
try and its defence, the President did not con
cur in the views and convictions of Mr. Rhett
as to the improbability of war. A disclosure
at this time of what the President has done
in reference to the procuring ot arms and war
material, from the commencemenftf the Gov
ernment to the present day, would show the
utter falsity of the Mercury's charges ; but ev
ery intelligent man will perceive that such a
disclosure cannot be made without serious de
triment to the public interest.
V. “Private enterprise has imported a con
siderable quantity of arms and munitions of
war; but what has tee Confederate Govern
ment done? The only effort, that we are
aware of, to get arms from Europe is that of
the Gladiator, which is now in Nassau. The
arms lately brought by the Victoria in New
Orleans are said to be a part of her cargo.—
Even after war was certain, there was ample
time to have imported a large quantity of
arms, before the blockade was established:
and since tbe blockade was established, the
successful efforts of private citiiens show that
the Government might have imported large
quantities of arms and munitions of war.”
It would be highly improper to reveal what
vessels have arrived, where they arrived,
where from, what amount of arms they had
brought, and what vessels are expected to ar
rive with a like freight. We shall not there
fore make any such revelation, though we can
assure our readers that it would conclusively
dispel the belief which the Mercury desires to
create by accusations which are evidently
made with the assumed impunity derived
from a knowledge that the Government ought
not to contradict them by a specific exposition
of the facts. It may be said, however, that
the amount of arms imported by private en
terprise does not amount to a fourth of that
imported by the Government. The arms
brought by tbe Victoria (about 150) were not
a part of the Gladiator’s cargo. So much for
the Mercury's speculation and its fseft.
VI. “So necessary was it ior us to have an
abundance of arms, that several of our naval
officers proposed to the Naval Committee to
put under their control one million of dollars,
and that they would go to Europe with it —
buy aa iron-clad steamship, convert her into
a war vessel, fill her with arms and munjt ons
of war, and, if necessary, fight their way
across the Atlantic into a Confederate port —
Congress favored the gallant proposal, and
passed tbe bill to carry it into effect. The
President pocketed it, and it failed ’’
Upon inquiry, addressed to both the Exec-
tive and Legislative Departments of the Pro
visional Government, we cannot find any one
who has any recollection of the proposition
referred to; but if any such was made and
failed to be acted on, it is attributable to the
fact that every possible effort in this direction
had already been made, the details of which,
for reasons already given, it is improper to
state. We can further add, that the President
has never vetoed or “pocketed” any bill ap
propriating money for the public defence.
VII. “We will mention one other fact
amongst many others, going to show the mili
tary energy of the President. A new swift
steamer lay at Wilmington. North Carolina
One half of it belonged to Northern citizens
Certain citizens of Wilmirgton desired to
convert this steamer into a privateer ; and, in
order that good titles might bo got for this
purpose, they petitioned Congress to have the
steamer sold, and the half of the proceeds of
the sale belonging to the Yankees should be
paid into the Confederate Treasury. Congress
promptly passed a bill to accomp ish this ob
ject. But the President pocketed it, and tbe
bill failed.”
At the close of a session of Congress a bill
of the nature referred to was passed. As it
undertook to decide questions of property
which legitimately be onged to the courts of
law, the bill was roturned, and the President’s
reasons for so doing oially explained to Con
gress by tbe Attorney General It was further
discovered that the steamer to which allusion
is made, was wholly unfit for the purposes for
which it was proposed to be used.
We have thus met and refuted every charge
and allegation made by the Mercury, by a
plain and simple statement of facts which
will so discredit any further assaults by that
paper, as to render future notice of them whol
ly unnecessary.
We do not propose to discuss the motives
which induced this attack. It will be for Mr.
Rhett to justify before his own conscience and
before the country, his violation of the injunc
tion of secresy which the Congress had placed
upon its proceedings, and which he knows
that body refused to remove for good and pa
No disappointed ambition, no private gucn
can warrant any citizen in making an attack
on the government, which, even if true, could
only weakan the great cause for which the
patriots of the South are struggling, and give
“ aid and comfort” to the enemy.
The Cost of the War to the North.
The North is beginning to feel (he im
mense cost of this war, and her reeources are
becoming exhausted under its burden. The
Milwaukie (Wis.) News, in calculating the
expenses of the war, says:
The expenses of the government, according
to the New York Tribune, are over $3,000,00
per day. This is at the rate of fifteen cents
per day for every man, woman and child in
the Northern States. At this rate, the war
costs Wisconsin over $110,000 everyday, and
nearly $10,000 every hour, and over $150
every minute between sunrise and sunset.—
The whole expense for one year would build
a comfortable house for every family in the
Northern States. It would pay the ordinary
expenses of all the Slate Governments for
twenty years. It would buy nearly one half
of all the farms in th? Northern States. It
would take all the wheat produced in Wis
consin for three years to pay its proportion
for twelve months. Snch is the cost of war.
The Philadelphia Ledger, in its money ar
ticle, says: For want of government revenues,
and an adequate tax law, government credit
is daily more and more at a discount. For
the future, if the war ended to-morrow, we
shall do well if we get an with an expediture
of two hundred millions annually. A large
standing army will be required, the cost of
which for each man, rank and file, is one
thousand dollars per year. It is estimated
in financial circles that on the 1st of July
next we shall have an annual interest account
of forty millions of dollars!
Traitors iu Richmond.
The Enquirer of the 22d inst., contains the
following items:
Tritou8 Arrested.—Three men, who are
believed to be natives of Virginia, were ari
rested here by order of the Provost Marshal,
for very decided manifestations of disloyalty.
They gave the names of Benjamin F. Hum
phreys, James Humphreys and J. T. Pritchard.
The two first named are watch-makers. The
last named wes a clerk in a commission house
here. All were defiant, and execrated the
Southern Confederacy, proclirimiDg their de
votion to the United States. There were 80
persons in Castle Godwin yesterday, and ac
cessions are made to the number daily.
Union Traitors.—Seventy-seven citizens
of Loudon county were brought down on the
Central cars Thursday night, and committed
to one of the military prisons on Main street.
All of them were arrested for manifestations
of disloyalty. Directly our army began to
fall back they began to show their hands.—
Such despicable wretches deserve to be rigor
ously treated. Some way should be devised to
make them useful to the community which is
insulted by their presence.

Headquarters M. S. G-» )
§amp cn Cove Creek, Ark.,
Feb. 25, 1862. J
To His Excellency, C. F. Jackson, Governor
of Missouri:
Sir: I have the honor to lay before you an
account of the circumstances surrounding
my command, within the last two weeks,
compelling ifie to evacuate Springfield and
retreat be^ >nd the State lino, into the terri
tory of Arkansas: the intelligence ot which
has no dotv.ff reached you.
About tlrs latter part of December, I lett
my camp on Sac river, St. Clair county, tell
back, and took up my quarters at Springfield
fer tbe purpose of beiog within reacli ot ^sup
plies, protecting that portion of the Mate
from home guard depredations and federal
invasion, as well as to secure a most valuable
point for military movements. At bpnng-
field, 1 received from Grand Glaze, consider
able supplies of clothing, camp aud garrison
equipage, aud having 4>uilt huts, our soldiers
were as comfortable as circumstances would
permit. I am pleased to say, few complaints
were either made or heard. Missouri having
been admitted as an equal member of the
Confederate States, and having my command
much augmented by recruits, I was enabled
to raise and equip about 4,000 men tor the
Confederate service. A brigade ot these,
consisting of two regiments of infantry, one
of cavalry and two light batteries ot artille
ry, have been tendered the Confederate gov
ernment.
About the latter part of January my scouts
reported that the enemy were concentrating
in force at Rolls, and shortly thereafter they
occupied Lebanon. Believing that this move
ment could be for no other purpose than to
attack me, and knowing that my command
was inadequate for such successful resistance
as the interests of my army and the cause de
manded, 1 appealed to the commanders of
the Confederate troops in Arkansas to come
to my assistance. This, from corre-poudence,
I was led confidently to expect, and relying
upon it, I held my position to the very last
moment, and, as the sequel proved, almost
too long; for on Wednesday, the 12th ot Feb
ruary, my pickets were driven in and re
ported the enemy advancing upon me iu force-
No resource was now left me except retreat,
without hazarding all with greatly unequal
numbers upon the result of one engagement.
This I deemed it unwise to do. I commenced
retreating at once. I reached Cassviile with
a loss unworthy of mention in any respect.
Here the enemy in my rear commenced a se
ries of attacks, running through four days.
Retreating and fighting all the way to Cross
Hollows, in this Stale, 1 am rejoiced to say,
my command, under the most exhausting fa
tigue, all that time with but little rest for
either man or horse, and no sleep, sustained
themselves, and came through, repulsing the
enemy upon every occasion, with great de
termination and gallantry. My loss does not
exceed four to six killed, and some fifteen or
eighteen wounded. That of the enemy we
know to be ten times as great.
Col. Henry Little commanding the 1st
brigade, with Colonels B. A. Rives and J. Q,
Burbridge of the infantry, and Col. E. Gates,
of the cavalry, covered this retreat from be
yond Cassviile and acted as tbe rear guard.
The Col. commanding deserves the highest
praise for unceasing watchfulness, and the
good management of his entire command.-
I heartily commend him to your attention.—
All these officers merit, and should receive
the thanks of both government and people —
To all the officers and men of my army, I am
under obligations; no officers or men were
ever more ready and prompt to meet aud re
x' -* —- -----j- uuicluui, we are confident
of the futmre.
STERLING PRICE,
Maj. Gen. commanding M. S. G.
Vie Victis.—The Yankee invaders in Wayne
county, Ky., a few days ago, gave James Bel
cher, Esq., twenty-eight lashes for going in
to their camp after his runaway negro. Mr.
Belcher was recently a member of the State
Legislature, and socially he stands as high as
any man in tbe county of Wayne. Gentlemen
of the South, this is what you have to ex
pect, if you fail!
Yankee Grown Cotton.—The latest Yankee
humbug is that of raising eotton in Southern
Illinois. So taken are they with this idea
that they cannot wait till next summer to try
the experiment, but have raised several bales
this winter. In a late Northern paper the
shipment of eight bales is announced as “the
first shipment of cotton from Illinois.”
Loyally in Tennessee.—A special dispatch
from Cairo to Chicago Times, dated the 1st
inst., reports that the “unanimous disloyalty
of the citizens in and about Nashville is cons
firmed by every arrival from the Cumber*
land,” The despatch adds : “The diti'erence
in sentiment between the people of the Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers is very marked.
On the former are many Unionists, but on the
latter none have yet made their appearance. ’
Greenough's Liquid Fire.—A Yankee jour.,
nal says: Some thirteen years ago, A. Liu*
coin, then a member of the House cf Repre
sentatives, and H. Hamlin, then a Senator,
brought before these bodies a discovery of
“liquid fire” as a means of attack and defence
Mr. B. F. Gteenough, of Boston is now expe
rimenting, before officers detailed for this
purpose, with a “liquid fire” which he throws
rhrough a small force pump, through twenty-
five feet of rubber hose, in a fluid state. At
the nozzie of the hose it passes through wire
gauze, on leaving wfeich it is ignited and
thrown in a stream of flame, setting fire to
what it strikes. Perhaps, before very long,
he may try it insetting fire to the Navy Yard
at Norfolk. •
1 rnnesty.”—The New York Herald, intox
icated with joy over the recent Yankee suc
cesses, imagines that the Confederate States
are intimidated, and thinks nothing more is
necessary now than a proclamation of par
don by Abe to secure cur submission. The
Tribune, equally absurd in its premises, shows
its demon malice in its objection to the Her
ald’s recommendation. It calls out: “Let
the rebellion be swept out of existence with
fire and sword ! No rest for traitors ! And
again : “It will be time enough to proclaim
an amnesty when the rebellion has everwhere
felt the armed heel of the Republic, and is
utterly crushed out forever, and its causes
and roots extirpated. Until that consumma
tion is reached there can be no amnesty.”
The Herald may save its nonsense, and the
Tribune its premature in displaying its fe
rocity. It will be time enough for an “am
Resty” when we ask for it; and when we ask
lor it we hope we will not get it ' We * p ii
these monsters that we have ju st ‘ begun to
in the There mUSt be somel fiing

have grievous wrongs to punish, as well as

Companies or individual members enlisting
in this corps may bring their horses if they
choose, which will be valued and paid for at
once, provided said horses are over five and
under ten years, with broad chest, weighing
at least 1000 pounds, sound, well broke and in
good order.
Until the corps goes into rendezvous the
company organization will consist of one cap
tain, one first and one second lieutenant.
The field artillery is the favorite arm of the
servics, both on account of its superior effi
ciency and less exposure to danger.

will be Atlanta, Georgia; my quarters at
