1 Port Tobacco. June 20.—There are movements
at Matthias’ Point on the Virginia shore, opposite
j here, indicating that the enemr are silently at
j *rk planting l-alttrie* there. .Numbers of tnen
are seen lurking among the bushes by passing
i vessels, and a long stnp, apparently of white
! cloth, haa been stretched along he beach, possi
■ bly aa a blind to work going on behind it. Mal
| tblaa’ Poin| is the most important strategic posi-
I tion on the river, commanding it even more ef
fectually than the White House shore. Th chan
i n<d hugs the Virginia shore, and vessels of the
j lightest draft must necessarily pass within four
or five hundred yards of the point. A battery
j once in position there would bt extremely difficult
to dislodge. The Union tnen here are anxious to
. see the place looked after.
Camp Ttlbk, Fairfax County. Va., June 2x.—lt !
has been ascertained beyond ail question that a
baUery has been planteo by the Hec* ssionifta at i
Edmund on “the dirt road/ from Fair
fax C. ll. t to F-lla Church, Poweifs is miles
from <he Court H'ius , and ni'les from Falls
Church. The situation of ti.e ground there, I
know, will enable a proper y constructed Geld
work to command the approach to the Court
ilouse by that road, bat the topography of tbe ■
coumry around is not such as to prevent march
! ing around this new battery.
| Falls Chckch, June 22—This morning. we have
! information here from three or four different per
| son#*, whose means of learning w hat is- going ?n
about Fairfax Court House I regard as being re
! liahie, thirt the disuniomsts are how in Urge force j
| in. between and around German:- wn and the ;
(Fairfax) Court House Tbeyadl agree in estima
ting the force which was there yesterday at quite 1
ten thousand strong, and it is insisted that Beaure
| gard commands there in person.
1 learn, further, that lor forty-<*ight tours pro
visions have been exceedingly scarce among them, ;
and that they the (diaunionist soldiers; are grom ‘
bling terribly on that account, a well as because
Genera! McDowell does not at ack tbern. and their ‘
own commander will not attack his ( Gen. McD.’s; j
army. #
| Alexandria, Va., June 22 I Grid to-day that
for two or thTee days past Secessionists hire have
been whispenDg to each other that Gen. Lleaure

Manassas Junction, iiw sympathizers Lere he
I lieve he has done so for the purpose of offering
j battle to Gen. McDowe !, and are of course under
! the kqpreaakm that he will sweep the Union
[ troops off the face of the earth. We also have
I had rumor:- for a day qi two that B.’e army are
! now not far from Fairfax Court House. 1 declined
sending in formation of those minors yesterday,
as they were thea very vague indeed. Since,
I however, they have assumed such a shape as tpjua
! duce me to believe that there may be serious truth
, lntbctn.
Colonel Fremont, who art last dates was in Paris •
expects to bring home with him arm* and hc- <
coutretnenth for Vfyj'AJ. His contract reaches
$250/>OO. The first purchase he made reached I
$75,000, aDd what ;s curious, they were rifles, •
< Enfield,) bombs, percussion cups and.other arti
cles belongmg to the Pope. They, had been pre
pared on contract for the Papal army, but on ac
count of the de eat of I>anionciere, had, it ift&aid, i
never been delivered, nor paid for.
The Ames Company at Chicopee, Maasacku- i

following account of a brush near that city:
Yesterday morning at about 10 or 11 o clock, j
the e earner Quaker Gitv made her appearance off |
; tbe Pleasure House Beich, at Cape Henry, just j
opposite Mr. Jas. Garrison’s seine, and after run
i niog bows on as near shore as it was safe o u ,
I swulz round, as parties on shore suspec e ,
i give them a broadside. The Princess Anne
Troon were on the shore at this time, and deemed
i.t prudent to retreat over the nd ‘"£ lch
I thev and the seine-haulers did. Ihe Quaker City,
seeing which, fired a gun to leeward to let the
; seiue-haulers know they did not intend to fire on
then-; she then lowered a_ ten oared barge and
sent it ashore with a flag ot truce, *or the purpose
I of getting fish as is supposed. While (he boat i
was nearing the shore, tbe cavalry troop came *
forward from behind the hills, towards the fish |
house; feeing which tbe ship commenced firing |
not nd shell at them, and the troop then re- i
turned the fire with such armadas they had, con- !
si sting of private rifles, old muskets, horse pistols, I
Ac., several volleys of which they tired at the !
boai, the crew of which returned the fire with 1
! rifles’ and would fire and drop down in the hot- 1
ton of tbeir boat io order to dodge our fire.
Tbe Hessians, finding the work rather too warm i
! for them, finally backed out and went aboard their
whip- Some seven or eight shot and shell were !
. fired from the Quaker City during the time the ‘
engagement lasted, but without injury to the party
j on shore, who have been tired at so much lately
that they have become perfect as “artful dodg
ers.” It is not known whether the enemy sus
tained any damage ; however, as the gunwales of
; their barge atiorded a tolerable breastwork for
. them to dodge behind, it is thought not. The?
j had to leave, however, without au opportunity
of robbing the seine-haulers of a mess of fresh
| fish.
Since the above was written we have seen Capt. j
Lambert, from that neighborhood, who was earlv
on the spot after the engagement, and who is un- j
der the impression that some of the enemy were \
hurt. Tbe boat on boarding the ship on her re
turn went round to the leeward of her, and was
for a conjJderable time there engaged in taking
on the ship the boat’s crew. So long, in fact,
did they take for this purpose that parties on the’ j
beach suspected that they were removing the ]
killed and wounded.
It is mentioned of a young Sylvester, one of the I
Troop, that he drove his horse in the water as far <
as he could, and there stood and tired a the ene- I
my 8 boat, shot alter shot, as fast as he could load 1
and fire.
Johnson Owens, a free negro, cook for the
I troop, it is said, went down on the beach to the
water’s edge, with an old musket he bad, and
there stood and fired at the men in the boat,
taking aim in each case in order to secure his
man.
The Troop engaged in this case was that in com
mand of Captain Edgar Burroughs, of Princess
Anne, about 85 meu. This is the first time the
enemy have troubled that part of Cape Henry
Beach.
The same paper of Thursday has the following :
v\ e learn that the steamer Quaker City, yester
day afternoon about four o’clock return* and to ber
position of the day belore, near the !>,. a at the
Pleasure House, w here tbe Gava : / Tiv p had a l
Confederate 11 ig flying and fired five or “*x shots j
at tbe flag, none ot which done ;im liano. The |
Troop were on the shore when she -vm -, *mt got ‘
behind the hills out of harm’s way S-it? - iso tired
several shot over the field, toward the residence
of Mr. Jas. Garrison, the owner of ti*’ ine.—
Finding her efforts fruitless she took b r depar
ture.
The Baltimore Sun of Thursday has the follow
ing accounts of three different skirmishes, and
other matters of interest:
The steamer Capt. Pierson, arrh ed
yesterday morning Hum Old Point Comfort, and
brought iutelligtfice of two skirmishes—one ou
the Rappahauuock river, aud the oilier at I^’nn
Haven.
It appears Ibat on Monday the steamer Monti
celiq, under command of Lieut. Braine, ran about
ten miles up the Kappahaunock to a point within
three hundred yards from the mouth of Carter’s
creek, and sixteen of her meu lauded at the
mouth of tiie creek, where a store is kept by Jos.
W. Gresham. Anioug those who landed was
Capt. John Phillips, of this city, acting in the
i capacity of pilot. He went ashore with them, and
j the party proceeded to the house of Greshaui,
j who met them, au*l informed Capt. P. that pickets
were iu the neighborhood, and advised them to
leave as soou as possible. At that moment a
squad of JO or 40 Confederates appeared between
the house and the shore, and opened tire with
mu.- kets ou the small boat aud oh those w ho were
ou the shore. At the first fire from the Confede
rates, one man was mortally, and six others more
or less, wounded.
Immediately after the first tire the Confederates
scattered, aud Lieut. Braine opened on them from !
the steamer with grape and canister, compelling |
them to retreat, but without loss. Those from ;
the ship were then enabled to get on board uuder
the protection of her heavy guns which were j
kept in uetipu. Sixty-four shot aud sheds were i
! thrown iuto tLe house and barn of Gresham, j
completely demolishing them, but without doing :
i auy personal injury. ‘As the small boat pushed
out to the ship, the Confederates kept up their
fire from behind tia.es, aud lodged sixteen uiuskct
balls iu the boat. Whether any men were wouud
ed did uot transpire. Among those wounded ou
the shore was Dr. ‘Vmitb, surgeon of the steamer,
aho received a ball through his cheek. Shortly
after tbe skirmish the Montiecllo ran dowu to
Fortress Monroe, where she remained on Tues
day afternoon.
Ou Tuesday, information was received at
Fortress Monroe that troops were being conveyed
across from Aceonmc and Northampton and land
ed at Lvnn Haven. The Quaker City was imme
diately dispatched, and hs she approached Lynu
Haven a man in a small boai was discovered near
the shore. A boat was at ot*ee lowered, manned
apd seut to pick the man up who remained close
iu shore. As the boat from the Quaker City ap
proached, a volley of musketry was fired from
the shore, killing one man in the boat of tbe
steamer, a ball having entered his stomach. The
Q. C. fired several shot ands mil, but without any
result, and returned to Old Point.
No movement has been made from Fortress Mon
roe or N' wport News Point. A passeuger inform
ed us that Col. Mugruder had sent an invitation
to Gen to meet him ou the tiebl.
The pickets of the Federalists have been drawn
tp a smaller compass, uud the Confederates are
said to be extending their defenses so that they
may be enabled to cut off ao> flank of the Federal
troops that may be thrown out. Tne Federal
pickets are reported to have suffered terribly of
late, many of them having beeu killed by the Con
federates.
Provision has been made to send the remainder
j of the Naval Brigade, who refused to take the
three years’ oath, to New York by tbe steamer
Stars and Stripes. Toeir rations were cut off ten
days K o, and an order was issued to prevent
them from taking clams from the river. One of
the Boston regiments presented them with some
cheese and crackers, which was all they had to
subsist on for ten days, aud uo water was allowed
them except that taken from the reservoir of the
gasometer. They are kept under strict guard all
the time.
Ou Tuesday five searneu trom the blockading
fleet went up the Elizabetli river to fish, and ap
proaching too near to Sewell’s Point one gun was
tired at them, killing two of the men. That was
followed by a second gun, which killed one more,
leaving only two out of the five to get the boat
back to the fleet.
The Quaker City on Tuesday evening steamed
up to Back river, and at night those on board the
‘.Teorgiaua heard a firing of heavy guns in that di
rection, and it was supposed City had
| encountered a masked battery, wl ich are said to
be found every where iu that vic - ity.
| An ?her trial of the Sawyer gun on the Rip
, Raps was made on Tuesday by Get:. Butler in
; presence of the Belgian ami itanMi Ministers,
aud the shots directed towaids Sew”’ s Point.—
’ The battery at this point respond? but the shots
j of neither could reach the other.
! Those who cume up from Norfolk reported that
j the city was prepared for any emerge! •y. There
• are about 14,000 troops in the T icmi.y, w ith au
I adequate supply of artillery, and s.i.ui! arms of

! they awaited an attack by the Ted. • 1 forces,
i The steamer Merrimac has been fitte i for scr

| the largest col urn binds and rifled cannon.
j Great Bethel is said to be now thoroughly for
-1 tified, with a large force ofinfantry and artillery,
and the corner ol the creek near it ls such that the
batteries cannot be flanked, nor can they be taken
except by direct charge from the front.
A Fight at Hand. —The following extract of a
j letter from a private in the Georgia Battaliou at
tbe Warrentou navy yard, appears iu the Macon
Oitwen. It is dated “ Battery of Ga. Battalion,
I near Warrentou Navy Yard, June 25, IS6I
I think the fight close at hand. W r e will move

says that Col. Brown advised Gen Bragg that he !
was not going to give him notice to give up the !
the navy yard nuy more. The seven men-of-war ;
are tying in the Gulf yet. One came in yesterday 1

He also states that he was ou tqp boat which con

that he counted 40 dead, aud there was a consider

Washington has adopted tbe policy of suppressing
the facts of all their reverses. We have not even

Selge wnttn, under date of June 10, says :
I told you that Mr. R o9t , deputy to Europe
from the .-outhern seceded States,’ appeared to
hare returned very well satisfied with his trip to
London. I can now give you some details. Mr.
Rost had obtained from Lord Palmerston the
formal promise of the recognition of the Southern
; Slates at a period more or less remote. Perhaps
! the English Minister, had a by.riew, the intention
1 ot waiting to see whether the’ seceded S ates will
be able 1 1 resist the efforts which those of the
’ North are going to attempt against them.
According to the impressions brought away by
: Mr. Rost, there was no understanding between
I France and England in regard to a siniultaneoos
| recognition of the Southern States. But it ap
pears that the recognition will be made separately
| be these two Powers. It is foreseen that this
determination of tbe English Government would
I excite a lively irritation in the Northern States,
i 1 do tot know whether it is supposed that that
irritation will go so far as a declaration of war
! against England by those States. But I am pretty
positive that the British Government is preparing
for any emergency. The English forces in Canada
and Nova Scotia are being largely increased.
Reixfohcemests fok Canada. —ln the House of
Commons, on the Uth of June, Mr. Adderly ask
ed the Undersecretary of State for War, whether
it was true that three more regiments of infantry
and a force of artillery were under orders for
North America, and that the Great Eastern steam
ship had been engaged for their transport; and if
so. for what locality they were destined, and whe
ther they were to be paid from the imperial or
colonial treasury.
Mr. C. G. Baring said that two regiments of in
fantry in addition to the regiment of infantry be
fore under orders for Canada, and a battery ot ar
tillery, were to be dispatched to Canada, aud he
believed that two regiments and the battery of
artillery would proceed by the Great Eastern.—
With reg rd to the payment of the troops, that
had already been provided for iu the votes of this
year, and no additional expenses would be incur
red. The money having been voted by Parlia
ment, the expense would be paid out of the impe
rial treasury.
[From the London limes, June ll.'J
It has been determined to send three regiments
of infantry aud a sufficient amount of artillery
aud munitions of war, to reinforce the garrison
iu British North America. These garrisons had
been so reduced of late years as scarcely to afford
sentries enough for the protection of the public
buildings at the most important military posts,
and as their weakness seemed to invite attach it
has been thought desirable to place them in a po
sition to command respect from auy irregular body i
which, iu a moment of excitement, might feel i
tempted to assail a place which seemed incapable i
of defence.

! Mr. Gregory's Answer to tiie London Times.
i —Mr. Gregory, in the House of Commons, on
j June 7th, out of respect to the House refrained,
as already stated, from pressiug his motion for
! the recognition oi the Southern Confederacy.
I Ue then said :
He would uot put himself tu opposition to the
I wishes of the House, so generally expressed, and
: therefore he would postpoue the motion sine die,
with tiie hope that he should have-some oppor
’ tuuity before the close of the session of bringing
j forward the subject, because he must sav that it
j was most unfair and most unjust that publications j
i should be circulated throughout England in
which the Southern Confederacy were accused of ,
unwarrantable secession, and its members were j
called traitors and perjurers (“Oh,” aud “Hear,
j hegr;”) aud that he should have uo opportunity
’ whatever of putting forward their case in a man
i uer in which it could be dispassionately consid
| ered. (Hear, hear.)
! The Paris correspondent of the Times says :
The continued threatening aspect of affairs in
America aud the apprehension that the Northern
i .States may seek to patch up a truce with the
South by a war with Spain, ou the pretext of San
. Domingo, exercise a deressiug iuffuetice upon the
i trades ,of Paris and Lyons, whose principal fiiar

The Blockade. —There is apparently something
very mysterious now going on at Charleston.—
The ports of South Carolina were declared block
aded. Tbe Niagara was for some time stationed
oi! the harbor of Charleston, and the blockade was
effectively maintained. Suddenly we hear of the
departure of the Niagara southward, and of the
virtual raising of the blockade. Such a state of
t-hiugs oan hardly fail to produce very mischiev
ous results ; aud it seems to he inevitable that be
lore long, the question of a paper blockade will
become a source of serioas discussion. The Gov
ernment and the nation have displayed every de
sire to conciliate Amerioan feeling. ’ They sympa
thize deeply with the great Republic in its trials.
But neither s.ymyathy for its calamities, respect
i for its power, nor regard for its threats must in
duce u British Minister to forego one iota of the
rights of British subjects. —London Herald, June

Commercial Alarm on the War Question in
France,— Tbe progress of hostilities in America,
and the prospect they hold out of injury ar.d iu
convenieuce to the French trade, have’ induced
the Chambers of Commerce of Marseilles, Bor
deaux, Dunkirk, and other leading portsof France,
to petitiou the French Senate, to say that, seeing
privateering is abolished, and the commerce even
of belligerents safe under the iiag, merchant ships
not carryingcontraband ofwarsbould uot be liable
to capture. TUiswouid, if complied with, amount,
go far us France is concerned, to the proposition
of Mr. Marcy, that private property in war time I
should be exempt from seizure of armed vessels—
tbe condition on which the United States Govern
ment, six years ago, consented to abolish priva
teering. The French Senate does not see its way
to recommending the adoption of the principle j
contended for by the petitioners. The Emperor [
has endeavored to bring abaut arrangements fa
vorable to the immunity of commerce, and the ‘
free movement of merchant ships in wur time, i
and even to frame a list oi contraband of war to
be aoreed to by all the maritime powers, so that
there should be, on the outbreak of war, no doubt
what does or does not constitute contraband.—
These efforts have not been successful, and it is
evident that they relate to questions the settle
ment of which can only be effected by a general
consent. —London Shipping Gazette, Jane 11.

Washington, June 26. Reports circulated of
a change in the plans of Gen. Scott, and that he
will commence active operations against the reb

ot asking for a general engagement. Tbe only
conflicts between us and tbe rebels which are
likely to transpire at present, are skirmishes
Gen. Scott s programme is concentration of Fed
eral troops in Virginia aud tbe other Border States
in such large bodies as to make it madness for the
rebels to altempt an attack. While thus intimida
ting them, tbe preseuce of our forces will encour
age the loyal citizeus to rise iu sufficient numbers
to prevent any further outrages— cut off their re
sources, increase tbe dissatisfaction iu their camps
cause desertion, and by harraesiDg and demorali

W u expect lu heae ouu of the beat and most

should the enemy meet biui, from tbe ooturnu un

Wise. He is the right sort of a mau for tbe work
before him—hard fighting and plenty of it. His
tireless energy, his restless ardor, his impulsive
ness, are the very qualities to make a great war
rior, and just what are required now iu Virginia.
In war nothing can be done too quickly, after it
is determined on. Celerity is the first element of
victory. The end to be accomplished is to drive
out the invader from Virgipia, and to conquer
him finally. Are we not able to do it? If not, we
ought to cease blourinq. But wc are able—we
have the men to do the work, they have gone for

Wise is the man for the business, and we ex
pect him to fight when be m< ets the enemy, let
the odds be as they may ; and if the euemv will
not come, he will go after him. But he will have
to meet the best troops Lincoln has, Western men
many of whom have iu their veius Virginia and

to come to time. It is less glory to whip the New

! This was one of the largest and best equipped
I companies that has passed through Augusta.—
j They number 107 privetes. Hon. David Clupton,
I late member U. S. Congress, is a private in their
ranks.
Tnoors Movinu.—The Eighth Regiment Ala
barna Volunteers are now (71 route for the seat of
war. Yesterdsy (Sunday) evening the following
companies of this regiment passed through this
city:
Alexandria Rifle Company, Capt. F. WoODKtrrr.
Ashville Guards, Capt. John 11. Caldwell.
Battalions “ G” and “II,” Capt. W. H. Forney.
This morning battalions “ K ” aud “ F” of the
. same regiment, under Capt. .1. J. Woodward,
; passed through.
Two of the above companies, arriving Sunday
morning, bivouacked in Broad street,in the shade
1 of the trees, opposite K. Bestin'# residence. They
, were shown every attention by our citizens, and
’ left with a most favorable impression of Augusta
, aud its inhabitants.
Two large companies from IYKalti coputy, Ala.
1 and a- squad of Gilmer Blues, from Oglethorpe
’ county, Ua., passed through here last evening, on
1 their way to the seat of war.
Tom Conn’s “ Legion,” we are glad to hear, is
being rapidly organized. It will serve during tbe
war, and will be composed of four cavalry compa
nies and one of artillery, and six or eight infantry
companies. Hon. Titos. R. R. Cobb will he the
Colonel, Major Smith, foimerlyof the U. S. A.,
Lient-Col., aud Cross, also a late C. S. officer,
Major. Gov. Brown will arm the entire Legion.
The cavalry will have Sharpe’s carbines, six
shooters aud sabres, and the government will fur
uish saddles, bridles, housing, martingales, Ac.,
hut each member must furnish his own horse, the
| Government paying hire monthly, and will py
; also for the horse if he is killed.
Our own fine Cavalry Corps, the Richmond
I Hussars,’ Capt. T. P. Stovall, beads tho Legion :
and by the way,we understand that there is still
au opening for membership in that Company,
; which will consist of eighty men, exclusiva of
; oflicei'3. This is a first rate chauce !or iur hardy
aud fearless riders aud good shots, iu Richmond,
Columbia, Lincoln and the adjoining counties, to
; secure one of tbe best places iu tba picture. The
Legion will doubtless he ut the seut of war in
j some six or seven weeks, aud it is important that j
’ the companies be filled up immediately, as the ‘
1 Cavalry will mnrch all the way, uud should, be j
| drilling now every day, as it will necessarily have j
j to Lave Georgia in some three weeks. Tube j
certain of securing n place apply without delay to i
Capt. ,Stovall.
More Troops.—Tbe Atlanta Volunteers passed :
through this citv last night eu route for the seat j
ot war.
Wo learn frotn one of our citizens who was
present, that the Vice-President made one of his
best speeches at Elberton yesterday, (Thursday.)
The audience was enthusiastic in the cause,
and the planters of Elbert very generally sub
soribed half their growing crop: This is what we
might expect from that sterling old county. Mr.
Stephens will speak at Lincolutou to-morrow, and
! at Appling ou Monday next, and we hope to hear
a good uccount from Lincoln and Columbia.
New Steamer. —We learn from the Rome Cou
rier that anew steamer, called the “Bill Harney,”
was launched at that place ou Monday last. She
is built more expressly for the “ Oostanaula Riv
er,” but being au independent boat, and control
led by independent men, she is destined to ruu
when and where she pleases, aud ask of Lincoln’s
blockade no sort of odds. Every effort will be
made to get the “ Ramey” ready for servioe by
the 4th of July.
Gen. McClellan, on the part of the U. S. aud
Gen. Buckner of the Home Guard, ou the part of
Kentucky, have entered into an agreement where
by tho U. S. agrees to respect the neutaality of
Kentucky, even should the South not respect it.
In that case, however, Kentucky will be called on
to arrest the Southern occupants, and failing that
the U. S. to interfere. Iu case either party should
determine to abandon the agreement ample notice
is to be given.
A .Suggestion.— A merchant, writing from Gor
dcusville, Ya., makes the i
that “ all the Southern country merchants iu their
ordei-3 se .and in their orders at once to the city
wholesale merchants, South.” Lei the wholesale
merchants, then, bold a meeting aud carry in tbeir
orders as soon as possible to England and France.
Thus we shall euablc Eugland and Frauce to know
something like the amount of goods we sbajl neeat
of them, which may do great good.
A Haro Lick on Gov. Brown. —The reply of
Col. Bartow to Gov. Brown, places the latter
functionary in no very enviable position. This I
is no time to be enoouraging small demagogues, I
aud Col. Bartow demonstrates by bis letter that :
Gov. Brown is one of the smallest of tbe Email. !
What with Brown’3 treatment of our gallant vo
lunteers, aud his iguorauce aud incapacity on all
other subjects he meddles with, we are inclined to
thiuk he stands very little chauee of being per
petual Governor. He will have to give place to
some native Georgian.
Goon W’ine. —We have had the pleasure of re- j
ceiving and drinking a specimen of Catawba wine, -
the manufacture of Messrs. Massenoale A Son of ’
Chattanooga. It is fully equal to any we have yet >
tasted and possesses tbe true flavor of the grape j
We believe tbe Messrs. Massengale are largely en
gaged in the manufacture of wine and they will j
doubtless command and deserve success.
The Read Shell.— Tbe Tuscaloosa Okeerver
takes notice of tbe fact that tbe “ Parrot” gun,
which did such good service at Bethel, fired the
rifled shell invented by Dr. Read, of Tuscaloosa.
We have just inspeoled, says the Ooerrver, a
table of practice with one of these guDS at West
Point, last summer, showing that a shell weighing
nine and a half pounds, fired with anly oue pound
of powder, ranged two miles aud a quarter at lo

three miles and a half from tbe gun.

e suppose there can .not be a doubt that the
personal, pecuniary interests of every citizen .of
the Confederate states are bound up in the sue j
cess < f the movement we aie now making fori
national independence. TV;. Government has j
determined, aud wisely deteimined, and Is so# j
tamed therein by the people, that our effort shall
not fail, until every resource of mm and money
is exhausted. It'designs that our independence |
shall he couqaered, or that every means a< com- !
maim shall be exerted to hat end, and that if tail i
we must, it shall only be after complete ruin and
destruction of every business and every interest.
Having set up a government for ourselves, it is our
duty firmly to establish it, and secure its reoogui
tiou by toe United States, and by the world, at
whatever cost. That is the determination of both
people and Government • and being so,- the Gov
ernment may demand, u necessary, every dollar
and every life within our bounds. Money it must
have, aud tuec, an that if g fail at laat. if our
Government go down, there will be nothing left
but ttesrlation,to tell the story. Let no man hug
the delusive phantom, that if the Goverumen .
perish he may still survive and bold his property t
No, when this Government fails, nil is lost to
every individual in it.
But-the Government has no idea nor expecta- |
tion of failure, and with parental tender ness it de |
signs in its conduct of this war to avoid unneces
sary taxatiuu and monetary distress so long as
it may be able. W;r§ supr .no authority to com
mand the services and the property of every citi
zen, and dct. rmiued to do so should necessity re
quire, it proposes to in, kj our b-irdeas as liglit as
‘ possible. Rather than call upon tho people for i
1 their property, Iu the shape of taxes, to the 1
. amount of tifry or aMiundred millions, it proposes
j to borrow from the peovdaon has percent, bonds,
| to be redeemed hereafter, when the redemption
I v ill ba conipuratively.cas.i, ai ihereaources of the
i country acquire fair p.’uy aud development, upon
j the securing of peace and Independence. Os
I course these boud.< onn never be redeemed eveut
! ually, except by tuxes drawn from tho people in
: eomo way—bat every one understands that it is
easier, more convenient, less liable to oer&uge af
faire, to pay thousand or a hundred tbcueand
dollars, by paying a part eaoil mouth, or each
year, for a g ries of vc are, than to pay the whole
in a lump. Therefore our Governmvct, rather
than tax tbe people fof.li large amount at-cnee,
proposes to borrow eoouxb tor it* present needs.
Aud its proposes too, raib r than go into foreign
markets, where the. Shi oci.g arc. who have no
particular interest iu our snooees, except us upon
that success depends their security for their uio

Treasury notes would boas good ourrenoy as the

Aud as to tho mou.rchy matter, Mr. Russell, ’
of course, must have heard the sentiments ex

credible to suppose he would manufacture such
i statements. But then ho oairta in contact with
I very few South Carolinians, and thgse only of
J Charleston and its vicinity-and certainly those
I “bo niay have expressed themselves in favor of
I monarchy do not represent a majority, or even
! anv oonslderable bum Jar, of the people. Nor does
| it by any means follow that a monarchist in prin
ciple should desire to see monarchy established
‘we— still less does il follow that, even desiring to
see monarchy established, bs should indulge the
hslluoination of hoping to sin? it, or laboring to
| procure it. Many a mau may very reasonably be J
i convinced in his own mind that a constitutional I

such a government is necessary or desirable for
ns—or even believing such best, be yet very fa:
froth attempting such a hopeless task. It tvouh
oe a very unwise, or a very bold man, to attemjJ
such a thing.
We 6eo no use at all for our press to got into
commottou about this tnoimrehy business. Le
the few monarchists—aud we all know there an
monarchists among us, aud have always beeu
enterulu their private opinions to their hearth
I content; They are perfectly powerless, and in n<
j mauner dangerous. We are a lung way from rnou
archy yet- we, at least, whatever may ho trut
of the North,’have no fear ot mopnrrhv becoming
n necessity, by the failure of democracy, so long
as we aFe a glaveholdlug community. J.et Mr.
Russell form and express whatsoever opinions
be chouses on that subject. They cannot do
j barm by increasing the number of monarchists
| among us to any considerable extent, aud possi
, bly Euglatid may look more favorably upon us il
i ‘-be Loglisli believe him. Aud we see no neefi
j dial our press should Iroou.o indignant because
j there are monarchists here. It is beneath its dig
i oitv, while we fear it shows misconception of
j terms and things, and a dread of mere names, ae
well as dread of popular clamor, which we bad
hoped to see put ffir away from tho Journalism
of tbe South.
A strange iuea it is to us certainly, that meu
seemingly can not disconnect popular rule from
democracy, as if there were no popular rule other
than democracy, or as if democracy were always
really popular rule, instead of being sometimes,
perhaps most frequently, the most purely oligar
chic and despotio aud intolerable, or aa if mon
archy necessarily could not be popular rulo. We
have some experience of so-called popular rule,
we bare but recently severed, aye even with tbe
sword, our oouuection with a govenmeut of pure
| democracy, professing, too, alleisiaace to oue of the
\ best of iorUAin Gonttitution*. It ill becomes us

Notwithstanding the JlraU is now .o

peace mau; end we arc not so sure even n<
that all bis war-talk ia not to favor peace. 1
I Herald constantly holds-up to iis readers the v
j number of troops we have in \ irgiuia, and c
loudly, for additional Northern volunteers, e
to-Jbe amount of half a million, in order that

It sa3 s the meu can be..bad aud tho money—l
hundred miHidos or more—uud this iu face of
fj'ct that U. S. sixes onFy-bring 64 in mail
wuh a downward tendency, and t
only some six mill ons wete bid for tlie reo
nine millions loan offered by Cba.sk, and at figu
ranging from 82% to 86%.
j We ciyi only auepeot, therefore, that Bennei
I really for peace, end that his representation
our large forces, and his call fur hah a million
| men and two hundred millions cf money, is ot
j a ebrewd way of didcouragin-g the war—tbe b
he dare do at present. Tbe Herald cau only li

New York. A peaceful separation of tbe t
oeoples, a few months ago, would not have ma
dally injured that city—aud the Herald wan
peace. To save bis hide Beuuett must need*
with tbe war tido for a time—he goes ahead
ird*r that be may turn it, should he see a g(
prospect. Peace now, we fear, would still le
New York eome prosperity—peace after a g<
bloody war will leave her stranded, we hope.
