The country needs officers more than men
in the ranks Indeed, there is no lack of men
.—ihere being three or four ready for every
musket the Government has. The great want
of the army is officers—men acquainted with
their duties Every effort will ba made by
the Georgia Military Institute to meet this
want. The young man who has an opportu
nity to acquire a military education, fitting
hioiself thereby for extended usefulness, but
who brqsks away to rush into the ranks,
where he is not needed, abandons tbe path
of duty and honor, and refuses to serve the
country in the position in which he can do
the meat service. * * *

What of all this ? Will we be conquer

Will the hearts and nerves of our peo

and valleys to which our armies can re
tire, and prosecute an interminable war
upon the enemy ? In the days of the
revolution the enemy, for the most part
of the time, held possession of every

They overrun and occupied every one of
the thiiteen States, save part of three.
But the brave hearts of Washington and
his nob.<- compeers never failed for a sin

PAUL
It has b*eu a matter of no iinle specula
tion among Bible critics, why tbe name of
Soul was changed to Paul In 8aul s first
i missionary tour he parsed through ihe Island
. of Cyprus, recorded in the Acts ofibe \pos
| tie, 12 b chapter Prom Salamie he crossed
! to the opposite end cf the Island, about 100
miles, and entered a town called Paphos, now
I “LJaff* ’* There he preached the gcspel of
| the grace of God. Here, we learn, dwelt
Sergius Paulu*, the Roman Governor or
deuptj, who is described as *‘a prudent man,
who desired to heir the Word of God” He
heard the Apostle, and was converted to tbe
Christian faith. Borne think tha-’ Sau ! took
the name of Paul in honor of this man be
coming a Christian. We know it was a com
mon thing for favored servants of God to
have an alteration of name at some impor
tant periods of their hibtory Abram's name
was changed to Abraham—Simon to Peter.—
Pagan heroes derived their new titles from
tbe cities or countries they cooqueiel; so
Saul, it is supposed, adopted a new name
from hi* first conquest by the sword o
the Spirit in this Island. We do not. adopt
this view, llis change of name was likely
intended to mark his calling as a missionary
to the Gentiles. He dropped hie name Soul
which was' a Jewish one, and took the title
Paul, which was a Roman one, as his field
of labor was henceforth amoug the Pagan
Romans, and not among the Hebrews. He
adopted the change at this time, because of
the success which God bad given bim in (be
Island of Cyprus—which was at that time
one of the most base and wicked communities
in existence. It is enough to say Paphos
was the city of the Cyprian V r enus.
Thus much we have deemed it proper to
say in relation to his change of name. We
return to his history :
Notwithstanding Paul’s early youth v as
passed iu a city affording so mauy literary
advantages—having a renowned University
within its gates—yet was he not educated in
it, or any of its public schools, but in some
private Jewish sohool. if not with determin
ed hatred to the Gentile youth around him
yet with no friendly feeling. As it is with
the Jews to this day all over the world, so the
children of Abraham would dwell in Tarsus
“alone, 1 ’ and not he “reckoned” among the
rest of the people. But what was he taught
in the school of Tarsus? Certainly, iu the
first place, the law of Moses. This the Jews
were strictly enjoined to teach their chil
dren, as will be seen io the toth and 11th
chapters of Deuteronomy. At five years of
age they began to read the law. The little
boy of Tarsus, doubtless “from a child knew
the Holy Scriptures.” Perhaps like another
young Timothy, he played around the feet
of another “grand mother Loit and mo
ther Eunice,” who watched ihe progress of
his infant mind, and witnessed the first at,
tempt, of his infant lips at speech. Ilis ask
ed, what did he speak ? What was his lan
guage? We have reason to believe that he
was taught to speak both Greek aud He
brew. The Greek was probably the tongue
he was most in the habit of using. The
Greek was then to the natives, what the
French is now to the natives of Europe, more
generally understood than any other lan
guage. It wa9 the language chiefly spoken
in Tarsus. When Paul referred to the Old
Testament Scriptures, either in his addiesseB
or his writing?, he always quoted the Septu
agint cr Greek version, and not the Hebrew.
Though a learned man, Paul was taught a
trade. AmoDg the Jews it was customary to
have their sons faugh! in early youth some
useful trade. It had become a proverb among
them—“ If a man does not teach his eon a
trade, he teacheth him to steal.” It was a
«ise and prudent measure* It prevented
them from falling into idleness, and enabled
them, in case of the Iobs of a!! their means
of support, to earn their bread Paul’s fath
er chose for him the business ot a lent maker.
This seems to have been a fovorite trade in
Cilicia The goat was an animal common
then, from the hair of which, being long and
beautiful, these tents were constructed It
was fortunate lor the young Jew of Tarsus
that he learned this useful trade la after
life it relieved him from a state of despon
dence and poverty. Many a midnight hour
found him bard ac work on his goat’s hair
web, tor he “labored night and day thai he
might be chargenbio to no man.”
It is possible that this manufacture formed
the chief merchandise of his father. Travs
ellers tell us that at the present, during har
vest, the fields are dotted over with these
goat’s-hair teats, where the peasants and
reapers live till the harvest is over.
We think of Paul the Apostle always us a
grown up mam. We cau hardly realize him
as a youth—as following his boyish amuse
ments, occupations and pleasures. Yet he
had his morning of life amid beautiful scene
ry—none, perhips, more magnificent. In
his boyish rambles, he gazed often and again
on tbe noble hills that rose like walls behind
the city, their white tops sparkling in the
rays of the suu. He doubeltst often wan
dered along the hanks of the Cydnus to
watch the waterfalls, as u leaped front cliff
to cliff, from the summit cf the Tarsus. At
other times we can imagine the Jewish boy
with his hardier playmates, on holidays, en
tering the gymnasium to witness the runners
and wrestlers in the atkletio games. In read
ing his writings, we find frequent allusions
contests, upon which his childhood had look
ed, still lingering in his memory—or, to
change the scene, we imagine bim seated in
the circle of black eyed boys around his
Jewish teacher, learning to read and write
the Hebrew language, and committing to
memory portions of the law. But we shall
consider his education more at large hereaf-

Tribute to the Memory of the Gallant
General Johnston.
Wto fdl at the R title of Shiloh, while leading
his army on to victory. His death wi* ren-
dti ed doubly sad by rcesen of the cruc’ cen
sure and unjust reproach which darkened Ihe
last moment s of his heroic life This fact
will explain the general tenor n) the poem
nr kkv. e. p. niRCH, of lagrangk, ga.
No funeral wail for the spirit 'le t!
No Until for the gallant slain 1
The tears ye shed for the noble dead.
Must now be «hed in vat a.
Ye may gather 'round with reverent tread.
Where a hero »'.eeps on tbe battle plain ;
Ye may bear him sway to h’s lowly bed,
In solemn funeral train;
Ye may sound his praise in lofty lays.
And boast of his deeds in other day®.
But he heeds not n .w your songs of fame,
While ye heaped reproach on his living name,
And broke his heart with your cruel blame.
Let your wotds of grief be tew aad briet—
’Tis now, alas I too late
To heal the wrongs of your injured chiel,
Or win him from his fate.
Your bitter tears can ne’er Impart
Peace to the spirit fled,
| x’or soothe the pangs of a wounded heart
That now lies cold and dead.
A nation’s grief, remorse or pain,
Can ne’er efface reproach's stain.
Nor call him back to life again.
'Tis well the nation feels its loss,
And justice comes at last.
Tho’ sad to think that no renwv
Can e’er retrieve the past.
Go rear the monumental stone.
Above his dust on high,
And give his honored name a throi.e
In your blue vaulted sky ;
(io, shroud your land in mourning weed?
And weep a hero gone;
Go carve the record of his deeds
In eyer during stone;
Go bid your sons in after years,
Bedew his urn with fruitless tears—
Yet all the honors but recall
Sad thoughts of his untimely fall,
And mingle wormwood with the gail.
Calmly the hero sleeps in death,
The battle shook is o’er—
The wrongs of men—detraction's b: eat!.,
Shall stir his heart no more.
He came to meet his country’s eaii,
And battle for the right—
He fell where hero’s ever fall,
The foremost in the fight.
In the fiercest of the conflict, dirt-.
In the hottest of the stoim—
'.Mid shrieks, and death, and smoke, and die,
Still rose his manly form.
Onward, forward, still he prest,
While thunders rocked the plain,
And carnage raised her bleeding crest
Above the mangled slain.
He nobly bared his own brave brea?t,
Your freedom’s boon to gain,
Then fell in victory’s arms to rest,
“Bleeding at every vein.”
'Tis sad to sec the brave man lair,
His proud form laid in dust,
K’en when he come3 at freedom's c ,11,
To die as brave men must;
’Tis sad to know that one fell blow
Hath laid a martyr’d chieftain low,
When fame and friends are just—
But when he meets his mournful fate,
E'er honor’s goal in won,
And captions censors feel too late
The wrong that, they have done—-
To him whose name they now adore,
And praise the deeds they blamed be ore—
'Tis sadder then to know the. a5,
We do or feel can ne’er recall
The unrelenting past;
That grief, and wrong, and woundeu pride.
Had crushed his spirit—while he died, •
Still faithful to the last
’Twas thus the noble Johnston foil.
A'self-doomed sacrifice
To that dear cause he loved so >v ell
Above all earthly price.
Stung by injustice, wrong and bbm.r.
From those he sought to save,
To wipe the st'gma from his name
He sought the battle’s hottest flame.
And found a soldier’s grave.
He acted well the soldier’s part,
?weet. be the soldier’s rest,
A truer, braver, noble hear:
Ne’er beat in human breast.
His memory still shall hold a shrine
In every freeman’s home.
And brighter yet his name shall sldi-e
In the loDg years to conje.
Our children then shall proudly ten
The spot where he was slain,
And thousands weep where Johnston icii.

Affairs.
Nashville, Tas.v., Aprl 12.“
When the Federal victory at Pittsburg Landing was
Buffioientiy established herein well-informed circles, a
movement of Commissary stores and Sutlers’ supplies
immediately commenced. Tr.ere was such a bustle of
business as Yankees always make when business is to
be done in haste. The little Cumberland was in fine
boating order, and steamers were preparing hsst ly
for departure. Naturally enough, those who had
freight to ship in the direction of Memphis were in a
hurry. The movement was the best confirmation of
Federal success.
But the secessionists had been persuading their
dupes, from the time we had the first inklings of the
fight at Pittsburg, that the Confederates had gained a
victory. On Thursday, it was highly important the
false impression should be kept up. as the newly ap
pointed City Council was to meet in the evehing. All
the members of the more numerous body, the Commoa
Council, were to be qualified ; and there were several
important officers to be elected. It was h. ped Coun
cil at en could be so frightened as to prevent their ta
king the oath. Women and children were made to be
lieve the Confederate advanced cavalry had reached
Columbia and Franklin—the latter piace only eighteen
miles distant—in pursuit of the retreating Federal ar
my. The removal of Commissary and Sutlers’ supplies
was, they said, but the first step in the work of precipi
tate flight from Nashville. Not only women and chil
dren, but even gray-hesded men were silly enough to
believe all of it. And it had its efiec* on the Council
Several were found to be weak in Ihe knees, and, as
might have been expected, they were of northern
birth. One hesitated; another absolutely declined.—
But the Council was, nevertheless, organized. John
Hugh Smith, Esq., an uncompromising Union man, was
elocted Mayor; and a Revenue Collector and War-Tax
Collector were elected to fill the places of two old pub
lic functionaries who would not take the oalh.

l-arfe of Common Sense.
The Army Correspondent of the Savannah
Republican, writing fictn Memphis the 27th
April says:
“ The city has been iu *a siatc of great ex
citement for porno days past, in cons quenee
of ibe unfortunate condition of affairs at
New Orleans. Tbe uneasiness has been
greatly increased by the silence of the au
thorities. Tnough aware of the advantages
gainel by ihe enemy, and that the people
along the river and fur into the country were
excited by the wildest and most painfui ru
mors, they have obstinately refused to allow
any dispatches to pass over the wires, or to
utter one word to relieve the public anxiety.
A de-ire to prevent the enemy up the rivtr
from getting the news through our newspa-.
pers, is the reason assigned for the course
pursued by the aihorities, who seem never
to have supposed that the spies who carry
Southern papers through the lioes, could al
so carry the news iu their heads. An absurd
fear ,»f ihe euect oi the intelligence upon our
army is another reason urged for withholding
the unwelcome tidings. This is simply ri
diculous ; for the troops, who are not to blame
fer any of our reverses, are better prepared,
by reason ot their superior fortitude, viitue
and courage, io receive disagreeable news,
than the shot t sighted authorities iuemfce.ves.
It it be true, and there can be no doubt of
it, that New Orleans has fall, no human in
genuity will ever be able to relieve the War
and Navy Departments of their responJibili
ty. They have had one entire year to pul
the city and river in a state of defense ; and
yet. we hear that the Federal gunboats, after
a few uay? bomoarument, have passed up
to the city. They have had the same time
within wsiiek to build gunboats and construct
river defences that the enemy had ; and we
have thousands of nceroe? to do the work
Jed yet, through the' utter inefioienev and
want id foresight of the authorities, ^com-
