RY.” Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
A bn lit onism Triumphant at the North.
Tne liltraista of the North are jubilant
having triumphed in Congress over the Dem
ocrats and conservatives by more than a two-
ih:rJs vote. Under the head oi '‘The March
of FVcedom,” the Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune writes as fellows :
Three steps in the interest of freedom were
taken by a.fferaut branches of the govern
ment to-day. The President signed his grad-
uat emancipation resolution. The House, by
a more than two thirds vote, passed tho bill
aooiishuig slavery in the District of Colum
bia, and tee Senate, by an equally gratifying
m joii y, repealed all laws disqualifying coi-
ortd persons from carrying the mails. In
the House several Republican members, who
had prepared speeches in tavor of the aboli
tion mil, voted for immediate action upon it.
Among the ayes were several Democrats, and
several nitre conservatives, and every Re
publican. A number of Democrats from New
York were conveniently absent- The House
grew wild with excitement as it rejected
amendm.nt alter amendment, and nnaliy
passed the bill as it came from the Senate.—
tt now only a waits the s gneture of the Pres
ident.
Senator Sumner’s bill, enabling colored
persons to he mail carriers, passed the Sena te
Without a word of deoate. If ever, certainly
not of late of years has a bill oppo ed to the
prejudice ot tne race met with such a recep
tion as this. It was introduced quietly, qui
etly referred to the postoffiee committee, re
ported back Dy Senator Oollamer, and passed
as if i\ were a measure affecting only white
people. Tnutnaa Jefferson's postmaster gen
eral, G.deon Granger, if? the father of the law
wh ch the Senate voted to repeal. In 1802,
he recommended its passage in a public com
munication, but gave hia real reason in a
private letter to a Georgia Senator, he saying
it was too delicite a subject to be discussed
openly; but tae truth was that a. negro em
ployed in the carriage of the mails would
nor. become a law till 1810. In 1825, when
the postoffice lawe were remodeled, the siat-
ate of 18iU, retained in substance, was modi
fied in form. It still st .nds upon the statute
books, and imposes a fine of $2H for every vi
olation of its provisions
Tne President this afternoon sent a mes
sage to the Senate, transmitting a treaty be
tween the United States and Great Britain for
the more effectual prevention of the slave
trade, accompanied by the correspondence on
tne subject between Secretary be ward and
Lord Lyons. The treaty was negotiated at
Washington on the 7th instant.
The Ladies of New Orleans.
The Picayune of the 28th, has the follow
ing item :
The Ladies, God Blkss ’Em.—Within an
ho ir or two after the news got about of the
t«ncr of Flag Officer Fariagui's letter to
Mayor Moaroe, a memorial to the City Coun
cil p"ajii)g that body to persist in its deter
tninaiion not to lower the flag of Louisiana
from the City Hall, we are informed, was
signed by a large number of the noble women
of New Orleans, including many of the weal
thiest, fairest, and highest in social position
among us. This is an evidence of the spirit
that animates the ladies of New Orleans,
which the euetny cannot disregard, and which
the Confederates will welcome with great joy
but without surprise The ladies, God bless
'em.
The Delta oi the 29th, publishes the pe
tition prefaced with tne following remarks :
We subjoin a copy of this petition, which
we are requested to state will will regain for
a few days at the Delta office, 97 Cam^ street,
for the signatures of such ladies as may wish
to affix their names to it. It is a historical
document, and we know there are many
ihou-tands of females here who are not a whit
lehiiid the mothers of the Revolution in
oouia.e, in bravery, in seif sacrifice and in
patriotism, who will desire to attest their al
legiance and fidelity to the cause and to the
fiag they have done so much to sustain and to
illustrate, and to join their husbands, their
faihtrs and their brothers in the determina
tion not tc haul down our flag nor to sur
render the city.
The peiiiion was drawn up and signed by
some fifty to sixty names before it was known
that the Mayor and Council had decided up-<
on their reply to Capt. Farragut's ultimatum:
To the Honorable the Mayor and Common
Council of the city of New Orleans :
The petitica of the wives, the daughters,
t ie mothers and the sisters of your constitu
ents :
Understanding that Flag-officer fairagui,
commanding the naval squadron now threat
ening the city, has giqen notice to the au
thorities to haul down the Louisiana State
2 ig from the City Hall, and to make a formal
act of surrender of the city of New Orleans,
with the alternative of removing the women
and children within forty-eight hours, we do
pray your Honor and your Honorable Body
to refuse to surrender the city or to haul
d>wu the flag which is the emhlem of the
sovereignty of Louisiana, paomiaing yon our
countenance and support.

Dvr Confederacy:
Two long weeks have passed over me iike j
a dream as it were, and the life-blood te it •
courses through nty veins, reminds me that t
I am now a convalescent. The racking pains j
of a deep sealed disease has ceased, and i
look once mere upon the green earth with
feelings of thankfulness, that something yet
remains for me to do. i now know what (
pneumonia is, with its effects upon theinngtt ;
and the brain, and consequently can readily
sympathize with ihe soldier who is unlortu-
nately similarly afflicted. 1 feel convinced
that loo much cannot be done for the sick
soldier by Lis comrades, and that it takes
just such attacks to remind one that they are
not impregnable to the shafts of disease
This is my excuse to you and’ your readers
for not writng, and l crave the indulgence of
you and your readers.
I was lying in a sta'e of lethargy, with
everything as quiet around me as an Indian
summer, when I was startled by the long
continued roar of musketry aDd artillery on
the morning of the 29th. The enemy had
again attacked us—this time furiously at
tempting *o carry our position on the right.
They had possession of a skirt of timber
some 800 yards from our main battery. De
tachments were in front to check their ad
vance, which was handsomely done by a por
tion of the 29th North Carolina, and 42d
Georgia. The rattle of the musketry, with
now and then the sullen roar of our 24 pound
mortar, was increased, and oame nearer my
idea of a regular pitched battle. The arms
of the enemy were superior to our own, be
ing of a longer range, for, distant as I was
in my cabin some 1400 yards, the balls would
strike the roof with a force sufficient to have
inflicted mortal wounds. This roar of fire
arms was kept up for hours ; and at one time
we feared a flank movement, for they were
cautiously creeping along our right, and, as
we thought, tried to reach the Virginia road;
and once having possession of this, ir would
have been difficult to dislodge them. The
42d Georgia still peppered away with their
short rifles, and it is a good joke on the boys,
for they say they enlisted for the war, and
ha ye put heir foot right into if— oame all the
way from Georgia, walked fifty odd miles,
and here they meet these rascals forthwith.
The 29th North Carolina kept up « perfect
hailstorm of bullets.

pretences of erecting batteries, hauling their
brass pieces all about, taking a position here
and one there, and endeavored to make us
think that this time we were gone sure
enough. During the attack, as fast as one
was wounded or killed he was borne to their
rear, so that we have no means of knowing
their loss, though several were seen to fall
On our left were thrown out as advanced
picket, one company of our batallion, the
‘•Barnesville Blues,” Lieut. Carter command
ing. This company had all they oould do to
hold the enemy’s picket, in check, and a con
tinued fire was kept up. Whilst cautiously
advancing, a party of Federate rose up sud
denly from behind some brush, where they
were concealed, poured a volley into the very
face of the Blues, breaking the leg of private
Hightower, and wounding slightly in the
knee private Ellis. The enemy pressed on
closely, constantly being reinforced. Private
Hightower was pieked up by his comrades
and carried toward the main body, but the
enemy coming too close, he begged them to
leave him and save themselves. They did
so, and this was the last seen of him. Lieut.
Carter had carried private Ellis some dis
tance and left him—he glided into some thick
undergrowth, remained there all night, and
was found next morning. From the prepara
tions the enemy were making, we thought a
heavy fight on hand next morning, but it was
as before—our amazement was grea< when
we found that the bird had flown. In short,
it was just, such a hrush a* we had before,
only on a larger scale. The General was in
the saddle early, and thinks that ihe attack
has not yet begun, and I am of his opinion.
As usual, thousand- of rumors aie afloat.
They had it reported m Knoxville that we
repulsed the enemy eleven times, and that
the dead were laying round in heaps, when
in fact we only repulsed them once. An ex
pedition has just gone out this morning,
which if successful will give us an insight
into the meaning of these sudden, furious
and unsuccessful onsjts made on us here.
We are all glad to see the 42d Georgia
among us. Tdey all look well, and with but
few exceptions, are fine looking men. The
whole regiment are not here—some being
left on account of sickness. Lieut. Colonel
Maddox called on me during my illness, and
it really afforded me a pleasure to look at hia
Atlanta face. The colonel says the culinary
department is not as good as expected, but
he mikes himself comfortable. I meet many
familiar faoes, and, in my judgment, the 42d
Georgia is an ornament to their State.
I have succeeded in tracing the wherea- j
bouts of our lost papers. A friend of mine, J

CHAPTER II.
IHE PRIVATE SOLPJKR.
14. Obedience the First Duty of a Sodier.
Among the first acquirements of a toldier .
are the habit of obedience—prompt, fearty, ;
unquestioning and unmurmuring obedioce—
to the commands of his officers, skid n the
use of hie arms and a knowledge of thfdrill.
He should early learn, " that what is cohered
is the easiest; and what is hia duty is lis in
terest.” “Obey is his law, and indevl his
whole military code.” Obedience m \ me-
times difficult to iearn, especially by v>!un-
teers who frequently very foolishly am pose
that the rules and regulations of the irmy
are, in their stringency intended only f<rthe
«< regulars,” and thit they are to be alhwed
some latitude. “When a soldier shouideB his
rifle under t^e flsg oi hia country, be nust
surrender to that country,his will, his whims,
tastes, fancies and prejudices; end the irst,
highest snd most solemn duty heowestothat
country, is the most implicit and promptoba
dience to the orders of his superior offices.—
D'sobedience, even in matters of mrnor grav
ity, frequently forfeits life. If an order il is
sued, that must be the of inquiry. The
success of a battle or a campaign may depend
upon the concealment of the purpose oi the
command; and it may become necessarj to
punish with death an omission to observe
that which may seem to be & very unimpor
tant order to the poldier who does not under
stand it.”
16. Anecdote of Napoleon
“Napoleoa once issued an c-der (batthe
lights of the c.imp must be extinguished at 8
o’clock and on seeing a light burning in the
tent of an officer after that hour had elapsed,
ne repaired thither in person, and entered
the tent just as tlie officer had finished wri
ting his wife’s name on the back of the letter
he had written to her. He told the Emperor
he had unconsciously violated the law for a
oi airecfion v? iti
by thoughts of home. ‘Unseal the? letter,'
S lid the Emperor, ‘ and w ?»*•• as I ■
The office: obeyed; and wr >to as follows ;
“P.8. I die to-morrow gat eight
o’clock for violating the la-* ■ ..-camp by
not extinguishing the ligin iu my ent at the
precise hour I was commanded so do it ’ ”
18 Justice Napoleon's Decision.
“ That decision may seem savage and bar
barous to the raw and uDtnto’-ed soldier, but
when ii is comprehended how much depends
upon subordination and a rigid adherence to
the lawe of the camp, it w-1? be ?*en that Na
poleon could only have beer, j s«f to the thou
sands of lives under his cere, ar well as to the
cause at stake, hy assuming the appearance
of cruelty to thie one delinquent.’'
17. Obedience isuot Seryility.
* Obedience ie not servility ; it is duty, it
is, therefo-e, nqt cowardly, bat honorable.—
The camp is no piaee for the soft manners of
the drawing room, and soldiers are piroverbi-
ally blunt; therefore do not imagine, if an
officer speaks sharply to you, that he wants
to insult you or browbeat you.”
18. Respect to Superior Officers is another
Prime Duty of Soldiers
“It is tqaaily the duty of soldiers, at all
times and in aU situations, to pay the proper
compliments to officers of other companies
and regiments, when in uniform, as to their
own.” “Courtesy among mi'itary mon is in
dispensable to discipline. The good or the
brave officer or soldier is always respectful
towards superiors His respect will not be
confined tc martial obedience, but wiil he ex
tended to other occasions. It is always the
duty of the inferior to accost or offerers' the
customary salutation, and of the superior to
return sur-fi complimentary notice.”
“When a soidie*' without arms, or with side
Erins only, meets an officer, he will continue
to move on, but he is to raise ais hand to his
oap, looking at the same time in a respectful
and soldier like manner at the officer, who
will make a suitable acknowledgment to the
compliment thus offered.’’
“A soldier being sealed, and w-.ihoui any
particular occupation, will rise on the ap-
beat and cold, toil and privation : “But you,
j he, “can make use of the night as others
| of the day ? you reckon that toils and pains
I mast conduct"yo i to a life of p easure ; you
| can use hunger to relish your tood, as others
1 do the daintiest meats: yon, even with more
i ease than lions, can bear the drinsing of
I plain water ; and you earry within your
| minds the noblest andgmost warlike “quality
! in the world ; for praise is what you are pleas
ed with above all things, an i they that are
! lover.i of praise do of course undergo a!! toil
| and a i danger with pleasure ”
22. In describing a g <od seldier, tJautbou
las said: “Whenever I have celled on him,
night or day, he never pretended want of
leisure, never obeyed lasily, but flways ran
to his businese with the utmost dispatch; as
olten as I have ordered him to do a thing, I
never saw him execute it without putting
himself into a heat; and he has made the
whole company such as himself, not showing
them in word, bet iu action, what they ought
to be.”

From tli* Jackson Misslsklppisu,
A Document of Vital Importance.
The reader will find in another column a
letter from Col. W. T. Wilbers of this oity,
and also a letter sent to him through a pri
vate messenger by the citizens of New Or
leans, advising the planters along the river
to burn their cotton. It is of great impor
tance, and we need not urge our exchanges
throughout the South to give it publicity.—
We must destroy the cotton in danger of
capture by the enemy. The man who would
hold on to his cotton now, and subject it to
capture, or by his conseut, allow it to be
used as a medium of restoring commerce
shows that he loves money more than his
liberties. Burn the cotton and plant corn
AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
Hkadqcartbks Light Artillery Reg. j
Gamp of Instruction near Jackson,
May 2, 18A2. j
Editor Mississippian : Enclosed I send you
a communication which I received last night
It is a document that should command ~tbe
attention of every cotton planter and true
patriot in ?he South. It is the deliberate ex
pressiou of probably the largest, wealthiest,
and most influential class of the citizens of
New Grleans, The advice they give neces
sarily impoverishes themselves, but with
devotion that rivals that of the patriots of tha
revolution, they prefer being beggars rather
than slaves.
No truer sentiment was ever uttered than
that *‘if commerce is once revived by our
enemies we are enslaved forever.” Let the
blasiDg fires from thousands of plantations
admonish the Yankees and the world, that
commerce is dead, until our liberties are es
tablished and our beloved Confederacy has
taken her stand among the nations of the
earth.
For reasons tha: will be manifest to all,
there are no signatures to the enolosed doc
ument. Those who prepared it are among
the truest sons of the South, and they desire
that It shall be published is every paper in
the Confederacy. Funds’are provided to pay
for if, if required as an advertisement. I
mention this fact merely to show the zeal
and devotion of the patriots who prepared
the document, for I feel sure that every pa
per in the South wiil gladly lend their aid
to give circulation to this stirring appeal from
our brethren who are now for the present
under the heel of the despot.
Respectfully yours,
WM. T. WITHERS.
TO COTTON PLANTERS.
New Orleans has fallen ! not degraded or
enslaved, but yielding to armed ships with
guna leveled at the homes of our defenseless
wives and children—the escutcheon of Louis
iana is unstaihed, and her flag has been dese
crated, but by her enemies. None could be
found among as so vile, low or degraded as to
lower her National ensignia. We have yield
ed io brute force but for the moment.
It becomes now the duty of all planters to
display mere than ever their patriotism and
devotion to ihelr country. Tney have sealed
that devotion upon the battle field. Now let
ue fight our enemies, as well by burning and
destroying every bale of cotton upon the river
or rivers liable to capture, as well as refusing
to ever ship or sell a bale of cotton until
j peace is declared and our Nationality is fix
ed. Let their conquest be a barren one.
The merchant fleets of Europa and of Yan
keedom will
soon be bringing their riches
proach of an officer, and make the customary j among us to trade with us, expecting an ex
salutation. If standing, he should turn to j change of cotton—if commerce is once re
wards the officer for that purpose If the i v i ?s d, we are enslaved forever. Let Europe
howl at the waste the barbarity of the North
will have brought upon the country. The
United States Government has promised re
newed trade to the World so soon as our ports
are opened. If we are true to ourselves,
there will be no trade, and the countless mil
lions of foreign products will be without pur
chasers. How long will they remain idle
spectators of such a scene ? The powers of
Europe will see that there is no sentiment of
regard for the old flag—that we despise the
race, and when we withhold or destroy our
property, they will find that Unionism is dead
forever.
