now be read with interest:
OriHET’s Department,
' Caroline County,
. * r December 10,
i I,;;vc rin.l with gre:a inttrebt the report
of the Congressional Committee, recommend
ing the repeal of the law requiring the mail?
to Le carried on the Sabbath, and 1 hope that
you will feel it a duly, aswell as a pleasure,
tettrge its repeal. -1 donol see how a nation
that thud arrays itself by such a law against
God’s holy day can expect to escape His
wrath. The punishment of national sins
must be cor lined to this world, as there arc
no nationalities beyond the grave. Fur fifteen
years I have refused to mail letters on Sun
day, or to tako them out of the office on that
day, except since I came iut > the field ; aud,
so far from haring to regret my course, it has
hcen r. s-urcc of true enjoyment. I have nev
er sustained loss in obscr ring whr.t God en
joins, and I am v eil sa 1 ' fled that the law
should tc repealed at ibe corlieil practicable
moment. My rule is to let the Sabbath mails
remain unopened unless they contain a dis
patch; bat dif patches ore gener Uy sent by
couriers, or telegraph, or by some special
mo.-eengcr. I do not recollect a single in
stance of any special dispatch having reached
me since tho commencement of tho war by
thd mails.
If you desire the repeal of the law, I trust
yon will bring all your influence to bear in its
accomplishment. Now is tho time, it appears
to me, to effect so desirable on object. I un-
stand that not only is onr President, but also
most of our Colonels and a majority of our Con-
gresmen, are professing’Christiang. God has
greatly blessed os, and I tru*t lie will make
us that people to whom God is the J,ord. Let
us look 10 God for an Illustration to our his
tory, that “righteousness exaUeih n nation,
but sin is n reproach to any people.”
Please send me a copy of the staff bill, as
I may wish 10 say something respecting it in
my letter to CoL Miles.
Very truly, your friend,

‘•Forrest Comity.”
As an acknowledgment by Georgia of the
timely service rendered in capturing the Yan-
kee*cavalry near Rome, thereby preventing tho
destruction of that city, and also thwarting
the raid of the enemy on the State Road, it
has been suggested by a distinguished citizen,
who fills a high offioial position in Goorgia,
that tho name of Union coonly be changed to
that of Forrest. Sin e Georgia withdrew from
tho Abolition Union, she has no uso for any
name or emblem so hated as the relation she
was forced to cast off, to ptosorve her honor
and her rights. Forrest oonnty .would have a
patriotic and monumental significance.
- We take the foregoing from the Soulhtm
Recorder of the 12ih. We second tho motion
with all our heart.

The Situation on the Rappahannock —
Under this caption, the New York IForW,
of the 7th, says editorially.:
The news from Gen. Hooker’s army is in
terpreted in offioial and semi-official quarters
as being favorable, bnt with the facts and the
map before us we cannot so regard it. A« we
surmised yesterday, there was no renewal of
the battle under General Hooker’s immediate
command on Monday, the only movement .on
bis part being a recmnoissunce in forpe to dis
cover tho whereabouts of the enemy. Thero
was some heavy skirmishing, but no general
engagement.
But although tho enemy left Gen. Hooker
alone, they were by no means idle. A large
force, certainly not le c s than 30,0000' men,
were pushed forward, or rather backward, to
repossess (hp heights of Fredericksburg, and
if possiblo prevent the junction of General
Sedgwick and his two corps with tho main
body of the army. This movement seems to
have been ar. almost complete r-toess for tho
enemy. The heights which cost us nearly a
thousand in killed and wounded to gain on
Saturday last, were lost on Monday, and Gen.
Gibbons, who held them was compelled to re
turn to Falmouth. General Sedgwick, who
started on Monday tomnfoTCC General Hook
er, was met on tho ro*d,'and, alicr a tierce
battle, was compelled to cross to the north
bank on pontoons, under five. His loss, of
course, mnst have been very h »*’./, It is idle
to say that Fredericksburg was of no strate
gio importance. If that was. the ease why
was a loss of nearly a thousand bravo fellows
incurred in endeavoring to 'captura.it The
fact is, it was of supreme imporlanoo to hold
tho heights of Fredericksburg. By their pos>
s ssion Leo’s rear was constantly menaced,
and the railroad' toward Richmond rendered-
unavailable for his army.
The mystery in connection with those rebel
movements bn Monday was tho silence of Gen.
Hooker. The enemy must have detached over
30,000 men from fits main body to-ovcrwhclm
Sedgwick and Gibbons; yet Gen. Ilookcr docs
not seem to have been able-to take advantage
of or prevent if. Sedgwick, could not have
been more than six miles distant' from-General
Hooker’s left when attacked by the enemy, yet
iho Union commander was unable to aid him.—
This can bc'acconnted for only on two - theories:
either Gen. Hooker’s army was so crippled that
it dare not engage the enemy, or it was re-,
treating to the North bank of the Rappaban-
hock!
In the absence oi positive information to the
contrary, and in the light of the facts before us,
wo are compelled to believe that Hooker has
been outgeneraled, our army 'outfought. We
hear that thirty thousand meu, under Gen.
Heintzelman, are on the road to reinforce Gen.
Hooker, and that a large number of troops are
also under way to the same destination from
another quarter; allol which goes to show, that
the Union army on the Rappahannock is in a
bad box. The reinforcements would iiot.be
needed if Lee were about to retreat.
It is difficult now to resist the conclusion that
the Confederates deliberately allowed the Union
army to cross without impediment, confident
that it could be crushed under Hooker’s leader-
ship when onco on fhg other side. Since lust
Saturday they have been doing pretly much as
they pleased.. Either Lee’s army largely out
numbers Hooker’s, or else the latter is unable
to properly handle “the finest army on the
planet.”
The N. Y. Herald of tho 7th has the follow
inj!: ' _
Tho intolligenae of Gon, Hooker’s army
brings us to the sanguinary conflict in Vir
ginia up to Tuesday jwtfrning, at whieh lime
affairs lcked more favorable to our forces
than at any ti»aO since the movement com
menced. ^ On Monday, tho Rebels in hot forco
pressed hotly on Gen. Sedgwiok, who then oc
cupied the heights of Fredericksburg. After
a severe contest, ip which he inflicted terrible
slaughter'upon the enemy—he withdrew
his force aoroes the river, and moved on to as
sist Gen. Hooker, about two o'clock on Tues
day morning. In conducting their movement,
he was oxpi sed to a raking lire from the Rebel
battleries, and tho attacks of the enemy on
his roar, causing considerable loss of life.—
Tho movement, however, was made in good
order across tho pontoon bridges, and may be
regarded as a success under the circumstan
ces, and will no doubt greatly strengthen Gen
Hooker’s position.
Editorial or tiif. “Herald” ontbeFiobt.
—The public has been so often misled, duped,
dec'eiveJ, disappointed and trifled with by the
authorities at Washington, that ia spiteof the
splendid fighting of the Rappahannock, it has
at length relapsed into comparative indiffer
ence and settled into the conviction that this
administration is totally incompetent to con
duct the war, apd that there is no longer any
Hope of the very speedy suppression of tho

News of tho attack on Charleston had

as a great defeat of the Federal naval

The “Herald's” Paris correspondent
Mates that the news of tho Union defeat

in the French capital.
It was thought that England and the
United States would soon £be at war, and
that France would not aid England in such

Napoleon with the “selfish' course" of
England.

Horrible Murder m A mberst.—The dis
tressing intelligence that General Tethha
W. Dillhrd was brutally murdered by two
of his own slaves on Saturday evening last,
reached-us yesterday. No particulars of
this foul deed have been received, other
than the fact that one of the murderers
had been arrested and confessed his crime,
and the other had made his escape. Gen.
“Dillard was a lawyer of prominence and a
gentleman offline talents and popular man

Rye Straw for Braiding.—A writer in
the Edgefield “Advertiser ” gives the fol
lowing directions for preparing vye straw
for braiding:
The rye must be cut while in bloom.—
Cut ns carefully as possible to prevent break
ing, early in the morning, and oundle im--
mediately, before the sun has much power
on it. It mast then be taken to a kettle
of boiling water,'and each bundle steeped
three minutes, and then open the bundle
and spread out to dry and bleach, a clear
r sunbeing almost indispeusable to linecolor.
After it becomes properly dried, put it into
a bnndlc again to be kept in a dry place,
where the dost cannot soil it.
ian Government has despatched to Paris
its reply to the French note requesting its
col operation in addressing the Russian
Government on the Polish question. Italy
undertakes to do her best in appeal on be
half of Poland, but insists that her peculiar
political position requires of her to steer a
perfectly independent course.
The settlement of the Confederate loan
took place in London on the 24th of April,
and passed oif extremely well. There was
an improvement in the quotation ranging
from 1 I 4 to 1 3 4,
The Enemy on our Coast.—While the
Northern journals console their readers for
the late disappointment by telling t icm that
another expedition is preparing for the cao-
turo of Charleston, there are undoubted
signs of activity on the sea islands in posses
sion of the enemy. Within tho last two days
and nights a very large and formidable bat
tery has been erected by the enemy on Folly
Island, to bear upon the Southern portion of
Morris Island; and, ia full view of Fort Sum
ter, the Yankee sentinel is seen steadily
pacing to and fro on his post. An entrenched
camp has been made lower down on Folly
Island, and unmistakable preparations arc
evidently progressing. The abandonment of
Cole’s Island spring before last, and the diffi
culties of access on our part, enable the foo
to proceed. At Se&bmok’s Island, North Edis-
tc>, there are also indications of earnest qjToris
to make a safo basis. A force of several regi
ments has been and is now at work, while five
iron-clad gunboats and a number of transports
lie in the stream. Some seventy transports
are still waiting in Broad River, and the out
posts of the enem? in Gen. Walker’s District
have reoently been doubled in strength.
In view of these appearances, it becomes
us to prepare vigorously to resist another de
monstration before the heated term puts an
end to active operations. The 16th Jane,
1802, saw the bold and desperate assault upon
Seeessionville. We have not yet reached the
middle of May. Under all the circumstances,
to assume that the enemy will not attack
again before fall, would be the most reckless
fatuity.—Charleston Mercury, 12th last.
Not Astounding.—Faragrahs of various

VallancUgltam’a Speech Graphically Con.
denied.
I have read with close at tention what you are
pleased to call the “ ■ reat Speech of Hon. C. L.
Vailandigham,” and with entire respect for the
opinionsofall others to the contrary, 1 pronunce
it a splendid display ' of balderdash. It is a
mixture of sense and nonsense, frenzy and folly,,
madness and reason. After tracing faithfully
and lucidly the rise and progress oi tho aboliR .
tion party at the North and proving clearly that
Lincoln is the most nefarious liar on earth Raf
ter exposing the deceit and treachery of the vil
lain and his party in the affair of Fort Sumter,
in. their endeavor to put the south in the wrong,
by compelling her to strike the first blow, alter
stating “that the secret and real purpose of the
war was to abolish slavery;” ana slating that
Lincoln had proclaimed “the irrepressible con
flict;” that the'Union c»nld not endure "part
slave and part free;”' after - stating that he had
usurped all constitutional power, stamped (hat
instrument under his loot; after stating that the
party of the Executive have Ute entire control
of the Federal Government, every Slate gov
ernment, 'county, every city, every town and
vitlago in the North and West; after stating bis
call for 75,000 men; after reviewing and recaps
ilulaiing the above and much mere; forsooth he
styles the Coniederate Sta'en rebels and conse
quently traitors! What frenzy ! what folly !—
what madness! Who arc the rebels and trait
ors according to his own showing f Why, Lin
coln and the North. What has the South dono
except to claim and exercise the poor privilege
of self-defense » and this self-detcnsc is styled
rebellion and treason. After quoting tho worda
ol Lord Chatham, he tella the Congress and the
North,“you have not conquered the South. You
never will.”
He then depicts the distress in t.ho North,
almost in the very-language of Holy Writ,
and Pharoah the Egyptians; “and there was a
great ory in Egpyl; for thero was not a house
where there was not one dead.” “And now,”
sajs he ‘‘there is mourning in every house,
and distress and sadness in every heart,” and
then asks the question, can the Union of tho
States be restored? How shall it bo done ?—
He answers in the affirmative and goes on (o
show how. Uia speech on this branch of his
hallucination is truly ludicrous and laughable.
Ho lanors to prove that the South oannot do
without tho North; that separated from hor,
she would become aa weak and oontempVable
as the Pamunkey Indians on the Eastern shore
of Virginia. He says that the secession of
the ten tribes of Isreal is the only exception
to the reunion of people who have separated,
“aud their subsequent history is not encour
aging to secession;’ that is, to the South. And
now the way to reunion ; what so cosy ? Stop
fighting. Make an armistioe, no formal treaty

The Prince or Wales—A foreign corres
pondent, in alluding to the recent marriage of
•the Prince of Wales, says:
The marriage of the Prince of Wales was to
him a blessed relief from the calls of artists
of various sorts—crayon, oil color, water col
or, Boulptors, photographers. He was doing
harder work than any hired model for weeks
before the wedding. He was Bitting for his full
length picture to M r Walton, R. A , and for
his bust to ulr, Marshall Wood* the ecultor of
Daphne, so much admired in the exhibition.—
Mr. May all, tbe photographer, took him in all
attitudes, aud when ho went to Belgium, Mr.
Ghemar seized his very expression. The bust
mentioned ia colossal, intended for a figure
twelve feet high, and is to be duplicated
for various council ehambers throughout the
realm, as well as for the McGill College at
Montreal. Mr. Walton’s portrait of Albert
Edward represents him in a blue coat and
gray trousers, with hat in hand, near Windsor
Castle; in it the resemblance to George III is
very clear.
Benntng’s Brigade.
A ooreespondent of tho Golumbns Enquirer
writing from camp near Suffolk on ]hc 3d

former Adjutant of this (20th) Regiment, has
been promoted to Chief Commissary of Sub
sistence of Benning’s Brigade, vice Maj. R. J.
Mosos, promoted to Corps Commissary of
Subsistence. Maj. Ballard is an energetic
business man—a good looking man, the ladies
say—sad we shall, we hope, not hope in vain
for a plentiful fill of good during his time in
office.
The foet most startling in our camp-talk for
W week past, is that our present and gallant
Colonel, John B. Camming, of Macon, Ga„
has tendered his resignation, solely on account
of physical disability. Should it bo accepted,
he will bo superseded by Lieut. Col. John A.
tones, of your city; and in due course of pro
motion, Maj. J. D. Waddell, of Polk county,
will become Lient. Colonel, and Capt. E M.

two former are eminent members of the bar,
and the latter a shrewd merchant and an

Yankee Government flan For Giving
Our Plantation* to tlie Negroe*.
Below will be found Gen- Thomas’ plan for
employing negroes on abandoned plantations.
He sayo be wishes it had- been dona a month
earlier, when the success would havo been
complete ; but even yet much may be done.
1st. The Government of tho United States,
in order to secure tho safety of commerce and
navigation on the Mississippi river, have de
termined to locate on anl noar its beach a
loyal population, who will protect, instead of
destroy, as ia now done, tho freedom of eom-
mcreial intercourse on this great inland sea.
That this policy may the more speedily re
ceive its initiation, George B. Field, Capt. A.
L. Stickle and Rev. L. S. Livermore, are
hereby appointed commissioners, whoso duty
it shall be to superintend tho letting of plan
tations to persona of proper character ami
qualifiortions, and to seo that the mutual ob
ligation between tho negroes and their em
ployers, or superintendents, shall bo faithfully
performed; to attend in some measure to their
moral and intellectual wants, and generally
to oarry out tho poUcy of the Gouernmcnt
regarding tho negroes that are to bo put to
agricultural pursuits.
2d. It being deemed the best policy, as far as
possible,jo make tbe employment and subsist
ence of negioea a matter to be left to private
enterprise, plantations will be placed in posses
sion of such persons as tbe commissioners shall
deem ol good character and pecuniary respon
sibility, and, in Iteti of rent a tax will be col
lected upon the products of the land, payable 10
such agents as the Treasury PepMtoient shall
designate,' care being taken to EecuAras hr ns
possible, the just right of emptoj erand em
ployee. Iu all cases the negroes will be furnish
ed with enough clothing for comfort, in advance
of their earnings; in consequence of their present
extreme destitution, .and in no rase will negroes
be subjected to corporeal punishment by the lash
or other cYuci and unusual modes.
3d. Upon entering into the occupancy of
plantations, inspectors will visit-each platation
and lake an inventory of all properly upon the
estate. Crops yet uugathcred will be turned
over to bo gathered by the lessee, upon such
terms as shall secure to tho Government its fair
share; while all movable property, stock, grain,
etc., will bo taken possession of by the Govern
ment, or Bold to the lessee, if he so desires, n't
their approved value, payahlo oat of the pro
ceeds of the plantation in the fall; the apprais
ers to be appointed by the commissioners, unless
otherwise designated by the Government.
4th. After the lessee shall havo t aken pos
session of the plantation, as many negroes of
average quality as he may-desire shall be
turned ovor to him, upon the order of tbe
missionere—the leaaeo entering into bonds to
employ them until the 1st of February, 1864,
and to feed, clothe and treat humanely all the
negroes thns turned over; the clothing, to bo
deducted from their wages, and to be furnish
ed at cost. • • -
5th. If it shall be found impracticable, ia
conseqttcnco of the lateness of tho season, to
find persons of sufficient character and re
sponsibility to give employment to all the ne
groes coming within the lines of the army, the
commissioners may appoint superintendents,
under whose supervision tho soil may bo cttl
tivated for the cxolusivo benefit of the Gov
ernment, or may have the plantations worked
upon such terms as, in their judgment, shall
be best adapted to the welfare of the negroes
—(liking care that, in all plans adopted, the
negroes, shall be self-sustaining, and not be
come n charge upon tho Government.
6th. The wagea to he paid for labor ehall ho
as follows: For ujileshoiicd men over fifteen
years of age, seven dollars per month; for able-
bodied women over'fttfecn years of age, live dot
lars per month; for children between ihc an C 3
of twelve and fifteen, hail price. ChiIJrcn un
der 12 years of: age Bhall not be used as field
hands, nnd families must be kept together when
they so desire. The tax on the products of the
plantation, in lieu of: rent, eh ill be at tho rate
of two dollars per bale of four hundred pounds
of cotton, and tivi? cen spej. bushel on corn and
potatoes.
7ib. While military protection will not he
guaranteed for the safety of person* engaged in
cultivating the soil vet all troops will be requited
to give piotectioii where it can be.done without
injury to the military- service, and it is con
fidently believed that the military organizations
of the negroes will afford all the protection nes
cessary.
8th._C0mmaml.sra of the army will render the
commissioners such military assistance as may
bo necessary, wiiliont injury to tho service, for
the execution of their duties. The commission
ers will report their proceedings to the Secreta
ry of War every two weeks.
Given under my, hand, at Milliken’s Bend, La.,
