Exiarax Cocet House, \ a.,
March 14,15C2. )
'■loldurt ot th- Army o/the Potomac:
' For a long time I bare kept too inactiye, but
BO t without a purpose. You were to be disci
plined, armed and instructed. The formidable
artillery you now have, had to becreateJ. Other
armies were to move and accomplish certain re
suits. I have held you back that you might give
the deathblow to the rebellion tuat has distracted
our once happy country. The patience you have
ahown and your confidence in your General, are
worth a dozen victories.
These preliminary results are now accomplish
ed. 1 feel that the labors of many months have
produced their fruit. The army of the Potomac
is now a real army, magnificent in material,
admirable in discipliue and instruction, excellent
ly equipped and armed, your commaodera are all
that I could wish. The moment for action has
arrived, and 1 know that 1 can trust in you to
auve our country. As I r.de through your ranks
I see in your faces the sure presage of victory—l
feel that you will do whatever I aak of you-
The period of inaction has passed. 1 will briug
you now face to face with the rebels, and only
pray that Qod may defend the right.
In whatever direction you-may move, however
strange my aetions may appear to you, ever bear
in mind that my fate is linked with yours, and
that all 1 do is to bring you where 1 know you
wish to be —on the decisive battle field. It is our
business to place you there. lam to watch over
vou as a parent over his children ; and you know
that your General loves you from the depth of Ins
heart. It shall be my care, as it has ever been, to
gain success with the least possible loss; but 1
know that if it is necessary you will willingly fol
low me to our graves for our righteous cause.
God smiles upon us, victory attends us; yet 1
would not have you think that our min is to be
attained without a manly struggle, 1 will not dis
guise it from you that you have bravo foes to en
counter— foemeu well worthy of the steel you will
use so well.
I shall demand of you great and heroic exer
tion, rapid and long marches, desperate combats
and privations. Perhaps we will share all these
together ; and when this sad war is over, we will
all return to our homes and feel that we cau ask
no higher honor than the proud consciousness
that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac.

The Splendid Scenes of the Bomhardmknt of
Island No. 10. — Northern Account. —Occasionally
our solid shot struck the parapet plumply, and an
immense column of dirt thrown into the air
would show the elocution done. Now and then
the shell exploded directly over the fort guns,
and the pieces could be seen splaHbing the water
in every direction. Amidst it all 1 could see the
rebelß rnnmng to and fro on the parapet, loading
their guns, carrying oil' killed and wounded, ana
m air behaving with the most spirited bravery.
Two or three of their gnus were dismounted, and
some heavy breaches made in their works, but
they struggled manfully to repair the damages,
perfectly defiant, as it seemed, of the fearful per
ils which surrounded ;hem. * * * *
“Good for Kilty!’’ shouts Capt. Walker, of the
Carondolet, as due of the rifled shots of tha
Mound City struck just in the fort and cast up an
immense cloud of reddish looking dirt.
“Crash,’’ goes a 10-shell from the stern of the
Carondelet, just over which 1 am standing, the
ship trembles in every timber at the recoil, the
spectator involuntarily dodging the shock, the
sulphurous smoke flying back in his face, and for
the moment blinding his sight, and as the huge
missile roaring in the air like the sound of a dis
tant railroad train, coursing at lightning speed.
We watch its flight with intense interest. It falls
in the river in front of the parapet, or perhaps
passes over into the woods behind, or merely
plunges directly into the earthworks. The sea
men on deck clap their hands and dance wildly
around, “Good boy," to the gunner. “ Good
morning to you,” to the rebels. “ Put that in
your pocket and never mind thechauge.” “Lock
at ’em rnnuin,” shouts a fellow with a glass at his
eve. “ I see their flag yet,” yells another.”
“Now they’re loadin’ their big ’un. Watch out 1
there she goes.” “ Get out of the way, gentle
men,” shouts the captain. " Let us pay due re
spect to that fellow. Lieclose.” We all crouched
behind the pilot house , hut the shot is intended
for the Benton, aud whizies just over her deck,
etriking the water a hundred feet astern. “Crash!”
go two almost simultaneous discharges from the
Mound City. “Boom !” thunders a huge mortar
just in our rear, while the prows of the Benton,
HI. Louis and Cincinnati are one constant, shoot
ing cloud of tire and smoke, accompanied by the
moat territiic reports.”

ak&kx Polict Kbspectino Qubbilias.—The
lollowing dispatch from Ht. Louis discloses tbe
rut-tbrout policy ol tflo Yankees :
St- Louis, March 12. —General Order No. 2,
troui the Department of the Mississippi, states
that martial law has never been declared legally
in Missouri, except n the city of St. Louis, and
at and m the immediate vicinity of the railroad
end telegraph lines ; aud even iu these localities
military officers are specially directed not to iu
terfers with the lawful process of auy civil court.
It is believed tbe time will soon come when the
rebellion in Missouri may be considered as termi
nated, and by none is this more desired Ilian by
the General Commanding.
The order also states that evidence has been
reoeived at headquarters that Major General
Sterling Brice has issued commissions of licenses
to certain bandits in this State authorising them
to raise a guerilla force for the purposes of plun
der and marauding. Gen. Price ought to know
that such a course is contrary to the rules of civi
lized warfare, aud that every man wbo enlists in
such an organization forfeits his life aud-becomes
an outlaw. Alt persons are hereby warned that
it they join any guerilla bands they will not, if
captured, be treated us ordinary prisoners of war
hut will be hung as robbers aud murderers. Their
lives shall atoue for the barbarity of their Gener
all.

Kidgeley, ot the Saniaigo de Cuba, received a
letter lrom the American Consul General at Ha

Southern port in .the William Mallory. On the
Sth, after the receipt of this intelligence, the
Water Witch arrived at Key West, having on
board the captain and crew of this tvessel, which
the had captured on the sth off St, Andrew’s Bay.
The people of Key West were thrown inters state
of great excitemeut by the rumor, which imme
diately not into circulation, that Mr. Yancey was
among toe prisoners, in the disguise of a seaman.
A close scrutiny of the crew, however, showed
that this impression was unfounded; and, further
more, our correspondent was informed by the
mate of the Mallorv that Yancey had left Havana
the day betorethe tatter vessel sailed in a schooner
called the Break-of Day, bound for Alobile.

Northern Account of the Evacuation of
New Madrid.
St. Louis, March 15.—Genera! Pope, in his dis
patch to General Hallcck, says our success at N ew
Madrid has been even greater than was reported
—twenty-five pieces of heavy artillery, 24'pouna
ers and rifled 52-pounders; two batteries ot beta
artillery; an immense amount of mixed ammuni
tion; several thousand small arms; hundreds ot
boxes of musket cartridges; three hundred mutes
and horses; tents for an army of 12,000 men, an
an immense quantity of other property, ot u
less value than a million of dollars, have fade
into our hands; the men only escaped.
’1 he whole force is demoralized and disperseu
o’n the opposite side of the river. The enemy
abandoned the works so hurriedly as to leave all
th,- bagga e of .officers and the knapsacks of men,
their deal uuburied, their suppers on the table,
and their candles burning in tents. A furious
thunder storm, which raged all night, enabled
them to get across the river without being dis
covered One heavy battery was established
during the night of the 12th, within 800 yards of
the enemy’s works, and opened at daylight on
the loth, just thirty-four hours after the guns
were delivered to us at Cairo. During the whole
day yesterday, our lines were drawn close around
their works, under a furious fire of sixty pieces of
artillery. Fear of an assault at daylight, induced
them to fly away during the night. Many prison
ers have been taken, and the colors of several
Arkansas regiments. Our loss is about fifty killed
and wounded. Hollins was in command of the
fleet, and Generals McCann, Stewart and Gault
cam Branded the land forces. Pope has twenty
five heavy guns, with two works of the enemy,
which command every point of the river.

to Count Morny, and begs the Count to correct a
statement made by him the other day at a sitting

Mr. Reu ex’s telegram that Count Morny, in his
opening speech on the occasion, was pleased to
sav “In the whole world there does not exist a
single government, not a single people! which is
not distressed by a great crisis.” Mr. John Bull,
as the representative of the English people, begs
distinctly to protest that he has nothing grave or
serious the'rnatter with him, certainly no fever
or any other disorder in which a crisis can occur,
and also that the government of Lord Palmerston
is by no means in a critical condition. Mr. Bull
is thankful to say that he is well upon the whole
as a gentleman of his years, whohas lived pretty
freely, can expect to be, and has nothing-more to
complain < f beyond the burdens natural to his
time of life, except a little obstruction in the cot
ton works, which he is troubled with just now,
hut of which he looks confidently forward to the
ultimate, if not speedy, removal. Mr. John Bull
hopes, therefore, that Count Morny will take an
opportunity of qualifying the genet ally correct
statement that every governmant and every peo
ple in the whole world is distressed by a grave
crisis, with the requisite exception. Mr. Bull
prays the Count to accopt the assurance of his
distinguished consideration.
■bate from Baltimore.
We hare information direct from Baltimore as
late as March 18tb. From a letter received by a
gentleman in this city, we are permitted to make
the following extracts :
I have another opportunity of writing you, and
I avail myself of it, although I wrote you on the
lath instant, through an old acquaintance of
yours and mine, who started, but whether he
succeeds in getting through or not, ig a matter
yet to be determined.
We all feel blue here. We cannot hear any
thing encouraging from tbe South. Everything
seems to favor tbe infamous Hessians, who ap
pear determined to overrun and subjugate the
whole South.
They are fixing up cast steel balls to destroy
the Merrimac. From experiments recently made,
it appears cast steel balls will penetrate any thick
ness of iron plating, and if the Merrimac will only
procure a supply, she can destroy Lincoln’s only
hope—the Monitor. This information regarding
cast steel balls comes direct from the place of
manufacture, and is every way reliable.
We have just heard of the capture of Newbern
by the Federal force under Burnsides, We were
all in hopes he had been captured and taken pi is
oner to Richmond.
It is also stated that Island No. 10, on the Mis
sissippi, has been evacuated, tbe Confederates
leaving all their guns, ammunition, Ac.
They are still rushing troops through here, but
the most of them now sent, are without at ms.
They go to Washington to take the place of those
who are better drilled, the latter having been
sent across the .Potomac
Rely upon it, the Southern people have to tight
and .fight hard. They will have to depend too
upon their own resources. They have already
depended too much upon the interference of for
eign powers and their kings—cotton and tobacco.
I entertaiu no apprehensions as to the final re
sult of the struggle. I am confident that the
South will be ultimately victorious, but she will
have to fight hard and suffer much before she
achieves her independence.
The Union shriekers here say that the Vankee
army will be at Richmond aud Petersburg soon,
and then 1 tfifl ho able to visit those places, but 1
would rather never see another relative or friend,
tliau to see tfaeinfernal abolition hordes meet with
that much success.
The Southern people had better be extermina
ted than defeated and subjugated by the Puritan
ical Yankees aud foreign outcasts of whom the
Vankee army is composed. Fight to the last and
diß before you yield, as there is no hope tor the
South if the wandals Succeed in overrunning you
as they expect.*
Hurra for the Southern Confederacy! Mav
every man within her borders who refuses to fight
tor her independence, become a slave to the \ an-
Uees, which would be almost equivalent to a place
in the lower regions.

Pass Them Around.—As an illustration ol the
spirit by which the Southern people are actuated,
we will relate the following incident, given us
by a gentleman who obtained it from a parly
cognizant of the facts:
Two half-crown lads were out bunting in the
neighborhood of Newberu, aud were discovered
ami accosted by a Yankee Lieutenant.
One of the b'ovs wore the letters “N. C.”
on his cap, which attracted the Yankee’s at
tention, and he enquired of the boys what they
meant. The boy replied; “North Carolina:'' .There
upon the Lieutenant ordered him to remove
them. This the boy declined doing, when he
was again ordered to take them off, aud again
refused to do so. The Lieutenant then remark
ed that he would take them oft' himself- and
was in the act of dismounting front his horse
to do so, when the boy winked to his comrade
who took his meaning, and in a moment the guns’
of both the beys were levelled at the head of
the Vankee officer, and he was commanded to
surrender.
Seeing the utter hopelessness of his case, and
perfectly astounded at the spirit displayed by
the boys, the Vankee gave up his pistol; aud
on being ordered to dismount, did so. The bovs
then secured him, and again placing him on his
tiorse, conducted him to Kingston, where he was
satelv lodged in jail.
Surely the days' ot the Revolution are again
upon us!
The Deration or the War.— WilmerA Smith's
European Times, of March Ist, a very influential
commercial journal published at Liverpool, con
cludes an editorial on the American war with the
following significant paragraph -.
The struggle is about to begin in earnest, and
must terminate between March and May. We
enter this day*on the first of three months, and
the next few weeks will be the most important in
the history of the United States that have oc
curred since the State wrested their independence
from the grasp of George the Third. Washing
ton's great experiment, which has worked such
extraordinary results during the last three-quar
ters of a century, will have to pass, in the next
ninety davs, through the severest ordeal to which
u has ever been subjected. If the North cannot
subjugate the South in this brief tme, which is
very uhnke'v, it is almost certain that the Euro
peaa-rowers will stepau and propose terms, and
in merer-to a,, part ies—to the famishing opera
tivesot England and France, as well as to the
combatants themselves, the act will be real hu

A gentleman reached Charleston yesterday
from Nashville direct, via Chattanooga. He
brings interesting accounts of the condition of
affairs in and around Nashville. There are now
but few Y'ankee troops quartered in that place,
the masses of Buell's army having been thrown
forward towards Murfreesboro’. There were no
signs of fortifications visible in the neighborhood
of the city, as he passea out. Business continues
very dull in Nashville; many Northern shop
keepers have come to “ settle” in the city, but
those of the former inhabitants who remain, are
steadfast in their adhesion to the Southern cause.

A gentleman who left New York on the 25th
ult. arrUed in this city yesterday. He rep'orts
tn&t nothing of striking importance had taken
place north of Mason and Dixon’s line. It was
the general opinion in New York that the rebel
lion was about being crushed, and that matters
would, ere long, be restored to their former con
dition. There was much activity in New York
and to a stranger things seemed to be going on
just as before the war, the streets being full of
people, aud many of the hotels aoing .a prosper
ous business. Some ot the merchants had made
large profits by the rise in the price of various
imported articles which took place on the in
crease of the Lincoln Tariff; one house had
cleared 1100,000 on a cargo ot tea. The steam
frigate Roanoke and anew vessel called the Juui
ata, were to be iron-clad, and although ereat
reticence was observed by the officials, vast ef
forts were unpoubtedly being made to increase
the Y'ankee fleet of iron-sheathed steamers.
In Baltimore busiuess was dull, and the city had
suffered terribly by the war and by the partial-des
truction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which had cut off communications with the West.
The vast majority of the Baltimoreans were in
tensely Southern, and they so expressed them
selves every wrere; but the city was kept in sub
jections by a Y'ankee garrison of 20,000 men. It
Was generally believed in Baltimore that there
would soon be a powerful attack on Norfolk; that.
McClellan’s army, which had crossed over into
Virginia, would speedily advance, and that Burn
side would endeavor to force his way into Nqrth
Carolina, and, if possible, from a junction with
McClellan’s Grand Army.
At Fortress Monroe some large cannon were be
ing shipped to an unknown point, and many ves
sels were lying at anchor in the Roads, some being
war vessels, and others thought to be transports,
hut there was no shipment of troops going on.
The Monitor was lying at Fortress Monroe out of
reach of the Virginia, which was in Norfolk har
bor, appearently ready for service.

A speech from Pareon Brownlow.
The following speech of Pa son Brownlow, says
the Richmond Examiner, was delivered in fron
of the St. Cloud Hotel, Nashville, on the evening
of the 17th :
Gentlemen :—1 aui in a sad plight to say much
of interest ; too thoroughly incapacitated to do
justice to you or myself.' My throat has been
disordered for the past three years, aud I have
been compelled to almost abandon public speak
ing. Last December 1 was thrust into an uncom
fortable aud disagreeable jail—for what? Trea
son ! Treason to the bogus Confederacy, and the
proofs of that treason were articles which appear
ed ic the Knoxville Whig in May last, when the
State ol Teuuessee was a member of the imper
ishable Union. At the expiration of four weeks
1 became a victim of the typhoid fever, aud was
removed t-o a loom in a decent dwelling, and a
guard of seven men kept me company. I sub
sequently became so weak that I could not turn
over in bed, and the guard was increased to twelve
men, for fear I should suddenly recover and run
away to Kentucky.
Becoming convalescent, in a measure, I was re
moved to my former place of confinement. One
day I was visited by some Confederate officers who
remarked, “Brownlow, you should not be here.
Take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate
Government, which will not only ensure you a
speedy release, but insure you protection.”
“Sir,” said I, “before l would take the oath to
support such a hell forsaken institution, I would
suffei myself to rot or die of old age.”
Why, my friends, these demagogues actually
boast that the Lord is on their side, aud declare
that the Lord is assisting them in the furtherance
of their nefarious project. In Knoxville and sur
rounding localities, a short time since, daily pray
er meetings were held wherein the Almighty was
beseeched to raise Lincoln’s blockade, aud to hurl
destruction against the Burnside expedition.—
Their prayers were partly answered—the block
add at Roanoke Island was most effectually raised
a reciprocal of their sacrilege divinely tendered.
Gentlemen, 1 am no Abolitionist; I‘applaud no
sectional doctrines ; I am a Southern man, and all
my relatives aud interests are thoroughly identi
fied with the South, and Southern institutions. I
was born in the Old Dominion, my parents were
born in Virginia, and they and their antecedents
were all slaveholders.
Let me assure you that the South has suffered
uo infringement upon her institutions ; the slave
ry question was no pretext for this unholy un
righteous war. Twelve Senators from the cotton
States who had sworn to preserve inviolate the
Constitution framed by our forefathers plotted
treason at night—a fit time for such a crime—and
telegraphed to their States despatches advising
them to pass Ordinances of Secession. Yes, gen
tlemen, twelve Senators swore allegiance in the
daytime and unswore them at uight. A short
time since, I was called upon by a little Jew, who
I believe, is the Secretary of War of the bogus’
Confederacy. He threatened to hang me, and I
expected no more mercy from him than was
shown by his illustrious' predecessors toward
Jesus Christ. I entered into a long correspon
dence with this specimen of expiring humanity
but from mercy or forgetfulness on their part, I
was permitted to depart with ail mv documents
id my Utile valise, which I hope to publish at no
distant day.
Gentlemen, when I sarted on my porilous jour
ney, I was sere distressed in mind, and exceed
ingly so in body, but the moment my eyes en
countered the pickets of the Federal armv my de
pression decreased and returning health seemed
suddenly to invigorate my physical constitution.
Gentlemen, Secession is played out; the dog is
dead; the child is born, and his name is Jeff.

I must decline further remarks this evening, but
aball make myself heard upon the next conven

To the Patriotic.-—The Value of Church
Bella.
The Ordnance Bureau of the Confederate States
solicits the use of such bells as can be spared du
ting the war, for the purpose of providing Light
Artillery for the public defence; while copper is
abundant, the supply of tin is deficient to convert
the copper into bronze. Bells contain so much
tin that 2400 pounds weight of bell metal mixed
the proper quantity of copper will suffice for a
field battery of six pieces.
Those who are willing to devote their bells to
this patriotic purpose, will receive receipts for
them, and the bells will be replaced if required,
at the close of the war, or they will be purchased
at fair prices.
Bells may be directed as follows:
Richmond Arsenal, Richmond, Va., Capt. B. G.
Baldwin.
Fayetteville Arsenal, Fayetteville, N. C., Capt.
J. O. Booth.
Charleston Arsenal, Charleston, H. C., Capt. F.

The Government will pay ail charges to these
places, aud receipts will be promptly returned to
the proper parties. Persons and congregations
placing their bells at the service of the Govern
ment, are requested to send a statement of the
fact with a description and weight of the bell to
the Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, at Rich

Fhom the Potomac.— The Fredericksburg He
rald of Friday evening gives us the following
items of news from the Petomac:
It is reported that several of our pickets were
captured this week in the vicinity of Dumfries,
by the rather sudden appearance of 700 of the
enemy’s cavalry. On the other hand our pickets
captured seven of the enemy this week, not far
from Evansport. They had strayed off from
camp, and were without arms. They constitute
the advance guard of the “on to Richmond” sol
diery, and will get there sooner than their most
sanguine expectations could have hoped for.
On Tuesday night eight yawl boats filled with
men were sent ashore from two steamers in the
Potomac at Boyd’s Hole. They landed at Som
erset, Mr. Henry Fitzhugh’s, and without any
provocation whatever burnt his newly erected
large dwelling house, together with most, if uot
ali, his out buildings.
YYe hear also that on a recent occasion Jim
Lawson, (the late body servant of Col. John
Taylor,) who tan away from his master a few
weeks ago, lauded iu a boat at Chatterton, with a
number ot other negroes, and proceeded to the
house, where he demanded the keys of Mrs.
Jones, wbo was there at the time, and after ran
sacking the premises took what he wanted. Jim
was dressed in uniform, with a sword by his side,
aud was addressed by his companions as Capt.
Lawson. It is said he is a captain in General
Hooker’s army.
It is reported that the negroes who lately ran
off from Mr. G. B. Wallace of “Little Whim”—
thirteen in nufiaber—were drowned by the upset
ting of a boat in attempting to get to a steamer
in the Potomac.
The Banks and Croakers. —With but few, very
few exceptions, the Banks of our State—from the
day Georgia went out of the “Union,” and re
sumed her entire Sovereignty, and since she be
came one of the Confederate States—have re
sponded patriotically to all her wishes and re
quirements. Governor Brown tells the Legisla
ture this in his annual message to that boJy, aud
His Excellency, as every Bank in the Stateknows,
as well as the people, is no “bank man.” Com
ing up thus to a patriotic discharge of duty ; and
ever ready to respoud to the wisnes of the Gov
ernment, both Confederate and State; it abso
lutely sickens us to hear how “ Croakers” croak
at any imaginary default on the part of these loy
al institutions. The latest that we hear, is, that
“ the Banks will not pay out tbeir own notes for
Confederate moDey!” Well, we hope they will
uot. They are right, when they take that stand;
when they refuse to pay out anything but Con
federate money, to those who refuse to receive it,
hr who would discredit it. We applaud the
Banks for adopting this policy. How, in all con
science, did the Banks get Confederate money ?
Did they issue it ? Did they not give value for
it ? Did they not receive it upon deposit? Away
with ali such idle, speculative, disloyal, com
plaints! Down with all such croaking! The
Banks, we hope, will be firm, in resisting all such
demands as those which require their own notes
for Confederate currency, until they have paid
out the last dollar of the latter—especia ly here,
in Atlanta, where disloyal speculation in Confed
eracy currency appears to have taken up its head
quarters for a time. —Atlanta Intelligencer.
“ Progress ” Backwards. —The Wilmington
Journal ol Saturday has the following :
It seems that the Lincolnits at Newbern having
made themselves at home in Mr. Pennington’s
office and free with his property, are now pub
lishing the Progress semi weekly. Our pickets
have captured some of the Yankee pickets and
have thus obtained a sight of the precious docu
ment. It must be consoling for Mr. Pennington
aud Mr. Vestal to be coolly informed by means of
the types and paper and other materials justly
belonging to the former, that the present editor,
whose name a friend who saw the affair does not
recollect has totally changed the politics of the
paper—that the former editor was a vile seces
sionist, and other things more numerous thau
complimentary, whereas the present is alt sorts of
a fellow.
The editor announces that as soon as he can
get some decent paper from New Y'ork he will
publish the Progress daily, but with what he has
now he must confine himself to a semi-weekly.
It is hard enough to rob a man of his money,
without cursing the style of the currency.

Planter*’ Meeting | U Morgan County.
Agreeable to previous notice a large aud res
pectable portion of the citizens of Morgau county
met this day, in the Court House, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the propriety of in
creasing the crop of corn and lessening the plant
ing of cotton the present year.
On motion of Davison B. Lane, Mr. Robert
Harris was calKd to the Chair aud John W. Mar
tin was requested to act as Secretary. Jesse W.
Jackson explained the object of the meeting aud
moved the appointment of a committee of five to
report matter for the action of the meeting. The
Chair appointed Jesse YY. Jackson, Dr. E. E.
Jones, Col. A. Rees, D. B. Lane and Lancelot
Johnston the committee, and whilst the commit
tee were retired, J. S. Farmer and T. P. Saffold
were severally called upon to address the meeting
which they did. The committee upon returning
reported the following preamble aud resolutions
for adoption, and upon the same being put to vote
was passed unanimously. To wit:
Whereas, we find ourselves in the midst of a
great war, almost unparalleled in the world’s
history, and may yet prove the most bloody re
corded on the pages of the mighty past. Be
lieving our cause a just one, and that all we de
sire in this great conflict of arms is to he ulloweJ
to work out our own destiny, and to maintain that
great and grand principle of. self-government, so
dear to every patriot’s heart, and to bequeath
the same inestimable boon of human happiness
to our posterity ; therefore, it is but natural that
every lover of his couutry aud lrieud of liberty,
in this'perilous hour of darkness and gloom,
should earnestly inquire his duty, and only allow
his efforts to be bound by the exteut of the abili
ty which God has given him.
And whereas, cotton has for mauy long years
been the great staple production of These 'States,
and the time having arrived for planting, the
high spirited and patriotic farmer will inquire
how much, if any, should he attempt to raise the
preseut year ; and his actions will be controlled
by such magnanimous course as will be best cal
culated to preserve his liberties, and to give ma
terial aid and streugth to the Government, for
the successful prosecution of the war being
waged for all that is dear to him on earth.
And whereas we have learned to our regret,
that cotton is not king; and has not proven an
element of strength in this war; as we can neither
eat nor sell it; exchange it for provisions nor
munitions of war, in wh ch we stand so greatly
in need ; and the time having arrived for the
planting of the great food crop of this continent.
the staff of life, good for tpau and beast, known
as ludiuu Corn. Aud kuowing of a certainty that
corn makes bread and meat and all things Deces
sarv to sustain amma! life, and unlike the four
million bales of cotton ou haud; but is an element
of great strength in this revolution; for on its
production is suspended our salvatiou as a free
people. Aud as we believe that it will prove to
our pecuniary interest and meet the wants of our
bleediug and suffering couutry, to turn our atten
tion from cottou culture to raising that which will
sustain animal life; and believing a change of
opinion and action in our agriculture is all that
can save us from the power of our enemies, an
unprincipled, fanatical and invading foe, seeking
to subjugate or exterminate the people of these
States, thereby spreading ruin, desolation and
death throughout the length aud breadth of our
once fair and sunny South.
After surveying the field at this crisis of the
war, taking ail things into consideration which
now Burrcuud us; every reflecting and patriotic
farmer will not fail to see aud perform his whole
duty, at this critical period of this revolution.
The question now to ha decided, “ plant corn and
be free, or plant cotton and be whipped” must
now be answered by an entire change in our ag -
riculture or we shall perish. Therefore, beiDg
awake to the appalling dangers awaiting us, uot
in the distant future ; we the planters ol Morgan
county in meeting assembled, for consultation
and concert of actiou on this momentous ques
tion, having all we possess that is desirable of
life, liberty and property involved in this mighty
conflict of arms, alike with our fellow country
men of the Confederate States, do hereby adopt
the lollowing resolutions:
Resolved, That we will not pursue a course to
starve our Army in the field, and sacrifice our
own liberty perhaps forever—lest an enslaved
posterity with a bitter wail rise up and cry out in
thunder tones against their unworthy and unpat
riotic progenitors.
Resolved, That we will not plead any poor mis
erable excuse for planting cottou to the detriment
of our grain and meat crops, lest thereby, we
show ourselves degenerate sons of noble sires,
unworthy the glorious aucestry from which we
sprung.
Resolved, That we strive with each other in the
production of everything to sustain animal life as
the only safe course left us against being starved
into submission by a powerful and relentless foe.
Resolved, That we call upon each citizen of the
county, whether present or not, by every incen
tive of patriotism to abide the decision of this
meeting.
That the proceedings be published in the Chron
icle A Sentinel of Augusta, Ga,
On motion of Dr, A. E.’Jones, the meeting then
adjourned.
Robert Harris, Chairman.
John W. Martin, Secretary.
Madison, April Ist, 1862.
We copy the following items from the Charles
ton Mercury of yesterday ;
The Firing on Tuesday Night.— There is no
doubt that the firing heard on Tuesday night was
occasioned by an attack of the blockading steam
ers upon a vessel of some kind endeavoring to
run the blockade.
A Schooner Ashore,— A schooner, formerly
known here as the Experiment, from Nassau, N.
P. with a cargo of Salt, was chased ashore on
Long Island Beach, at an euiTy hour yesterday
by a Yankee steam gunboat. The cargo may be
saved and the vessel got off', if speedy assistance
is rendered. This schooner spoke on the Ist
inst, was boarded twenty five miles east of
this port, by the Yankee; ship Onward, Captaiu
Nichols, which was aimed with six guns.
Sai.k of Negroes.—At auction, yesterday, at
the Brokers Exchange, Messrs. Wilbur & Sons
sold a woman, 40 years old, with a boy 13 years
of age for 1850—5425 each ; a woman 50 years,
with her family of five children, aged respective
ly 22 years, 9 years, 7 years, 3 years, and an in
faot, for $2130, averaging $355 ; a woman, 40
years old, with a boy ol ten years, and two girls,
aged 7 and 9, for SIBOO, averaging $450; a boy
13 years ole, |700; another aged 15, brought
$775, and a man, 42 years of age, sold for $625
all cash transactions.
Auction Hale of Merchandize. —The following
articles of merchandize were sold yesterday on
Boyce’s Wharf, by Messrs. Rbett A Fitzsimmons :
Sugar cured hams, 71 cents per pound ; Linseed
Oil, $3.10 per gallon; Letter Paper, sl3 a 14 per

a 80c. per pound.
Blockade Prices.— Mr. J. H. Bredenberg seems
determined to keep bis grocery, at the corner of
King and Broad streets, supplied with the usual
luxuries, even though he has to pay blockade
prices. On yesterday, Mr. Bredenberg was the
purchaser of uine barrels of English sugar-cured
hams, at the moderate price of 71 cents a pound !
and a lot of cheese at the no less moderate price
of 80 cents a pound ! The consumer who wishes
to indulge in these luxuries must necessarily pay
an advance on the above prices. Do the people
of the South raise hogs ; and if so, can they cure
them, though salt be S2O a sack ? Do the people
.of the South raise cattle, or kDow the uses of
cream ? Truly, in this land of milk and honey
we deserve to pay these prices.
News from the Coast.— We learu from a gen
tleman who arrived from our camp at Port Royal,
yesterday, that about one bundr'ed Yankees, with
two pieces of artillery, effected a landing at Port
Royal Ferry, on Tuesday morning. General
Pemberton, to whom our pickets reported that
the enemy were landing in force, immediately or
dered his troops in position to attack. Col. Jones’
Regiment, in advance of our troops, soon came in
sight of the enemy, when they retired under
cover of their gunboats without an exchange
shot on either side. Before the coming up of
Colonel Jones’ Regiment, the enemy destroyed
the dwelling of Mr. Henry Stuart, at Page’s
Point.
The gentleman also reports that three negroes,
the property of Mr. P. Given, had arrived at our
camps, having succeeded in making their escape
from Port Royal. These fellows report that the
negroes on the Islands had been put to work un
der \ ankee overseers, and were planting corn
and would soon commence the planting of cot
tony and that they were worked from sunrise to
sunset, and were not allowed the usual privilege
of a “ task,” as they were under their lawful
masters.

Correspondence oj the Richmond Whig.
From Eastern Kentucky.
A correspondent of the Whig i u Pike county.
Keutucky, under date of 22d instant, sends us the
following :
“ As soon as the loval uieu left in
this section of the State, heard ot the appoint
ment of their favorite leader, N. Me. Menetee, as
Colonel, they flocked to his standard and’fled
with him to the mountain fastnesses where they
have lived for mouths, supported, clothed, armed
and furnished at the expense ot Col. Meuefee.
Aud with old flint lock rifles, have annoyed the
-Northern army in this country, and made them
selves a terror to the vandal hordes that have
beeu sent here to stain our Soil with innocent
gore. The name of Meuefee is to the enemy iu
Eastern Kentucky what Marion was to the British
aud Tories in South Carolina.
The gallant Major Thompson, who was lelt at
Sounding Gap with four hundred of the Virginia
Militia to watch that place, was driven from the
gap by an overwhelming toree, who attacked him
front and rear, llut the Major brought off all his
men safe, 1 believe.
Colonel Menetee tad a fight with the enemy a
few days betore. and drove the enemy from the
field, killing two aud wounding four, with the loss
of one of his meu, who unnecessarily exposed
himself. But iu a few moments, the enemy, re
inferred to near three huudred, attempted to sur
reund the Colouel and his men. The Colonel was
too sharp for them, and having only thirteen
men —mauy ol whom had tailed to get their flint
locks off—he ordered them to the mountain's
cliffs. He remained upon- the ground for near
au hour after .his meu were gone, watching the
enemy.
He was riding his race mare, “Emma Tred
wav,” who had borne him out of mauy a close
ami dangerous chase, aud he felt that she was
able to flee from all danger and carry him too.
After watching the enemy’s movements until he
saw he must soon be cut oil', he turned aud rode
up the creek —“Elk Horn”—which was closely
hemmed in by high bluffs and crags on one side,
aud the rugged slopes of the Cumberland moun
tains on the other. H i had uot gone far up the
creek ere he was apprised of near danger by his
watchful mare snorting loud and shrlh Iu au
instant over one huudred cavalry emerged from a
wood before him, aud not more than seventy
yards.
He saw that his only chauce was te climb the
Cumberland mountain. Any other man would
have surrendered rather thuu make the attempt,
for the mountain was so steep that it seemed al
most impossible for a footman to climb it much
less to ride it. The mountain was one mass ol
boulder rocks and hedges, covered with laurel.
He reined his mare to the bluff', aud iu au iuataut
was flying up the rugged and dizzy heights, the
Y’aukees rushing ou and jelling towards him like
so mauy hungry cannibals sure at' a feast. When
the enemy reached the foot of the mountain they
had to stop and dismount, aud climb up on foot.
At this place the Cumberland Mountain in near
three miles high. When the Colonel hud climbed
near the top of the first “ bench” he was stopped
by falliug timber. The pause allowed his mare
to catch breath. The commander of the eueuiy,
from below, observed the Colonel’s halt, and mis
taking his stop for a surrender, cried out to his
men, who were in close pursuit of the Colonel, to
hurry ou straight up the mountains, we have the
G—dd —d rebel hemmed in at last. They were
so sure of capturing the Colonel that they did not
tire upon him.
When the Colonel’s mare had panted a moment,
he touched her sides. She leaped the barrier
and iu au instant was out of sight behind some
bluffs and rocks. After proceeding some dis
tance farther, the Colouel disfmounted aud pre
pared to fire upon his upou his pursures, but ob
serving one of his brave comrades approaching
‘him, almost fainting from fatigue, he saw that if
he fired the enemy would ctme in that direction,
und perhaps capture and kill his brave soldier.
He mentioned to the soldier to run on in that di
rection until he climbed to the top of a bluff’. He
then stopped and yelled the Osage Indian war
wboop—the most terrific yell known to savage
life. He then dashed down a rugged ledge of
rocks for near ball a mile, and made his es
cape.
History never recorded so remarkable or reck
less a ride. The Revolutionary Wav had its “Me
Donald," and “Saliui,” and its “Putnam,” and
his flight down the stone steps, and we have our
Menetee and Emma Tredway. The noble mare is
as swift as an antelope, and strong as a rhinoce -
ros. There is now offered by the enemy S4OOO for
the Colonel, aud SSOO for the mare. The Colonel
has gone to Tennessee for money and clothing for
his men, and when he returns you may hear of
more Y'ankees being disposed of. Perhaps you
may see him in Richmond before he returns, as
he is going on business to YVinchester, Va.
_ The general impression is, that the enemy will
move upon the Salt Works of Y'irginia, via Soun
ding Gap, but I do not believe that they can or
will go in that direction. If they go they will go
up the Livesay fork of SaDdy river.
The enemy are making a military depot at Pike
ton, and are there in force to the amount of thirty
five hundred, mostly infantry. lam of the opin
ion that the roads are so bad that they will be

Gen. Joe. Johnston came down yesterday,

“The Virginia will certainly be out to to-day.”
—The Examiner, speaking of the impatience of
the people at he: delay, while so much Yankee
game has b6en loose in the Roads, says : “They
(that is, the people) overlook a fixed fact in the
policy of our Government; which is, uever to
forgive a commander for fighting.”
Congress wants to adjourn on the 7th of April,
to meet again in July. Maybe they think things
are getting ticklish here. One of our richest cit
izens has moved off, bug and baggage to Danville
where the clothing department of the Quarter
master General's office has been removed, or
rather anew branch of it has been established.
There ip talk of all the vacant mercantile houses
in towu being rented lor the reception of stores
for the army ol the Rappahannock ; from which
it is inferred that the army is going to fall hack
again.
The President vetoed the bill, creating the of
fice ol Commanding General because it allowed
the General to take the field at his discretion.
The hill was originally an exact copy of the Act
by which Washington was made Lieutenant-
General. It was handed to the President and Ins
Secretary of War who worked away on it until
they had licked it into shape to suit themselves,
and then returned it to Congress, Congress
made some immaterial alterations and passed it.
The President vetoed it for the reason given.
He is very ingenious in finding minute flaws, and
in making plausible arguments for his vetoes,
which in one year outnumber, it is said, all the
vetoes of all the Presidents of the United States
put together. At present, Lee has no authority
to plan or conduct a campaign. He may make
suggestions but the will of the President is su
preme and final.
Some nights ago, the Yankees towed out from
Fortress Monroe a long, low, black affair, and
sunk it oft'Newport News. It was thought to he
an infernal machine for blowing up the Virginia.
The Examiner considers the appointment of Fre
mont to the “ Mountain Department” ominous ot
great danger to Southwestern Virginia. The late
Message of the President, in regard to filling up
the army with men from 18 to 35 years of age,
conforms to Randolph’s bill in the Virginia Con
vention, and hence it is inferred that Randolph
has some influence over the President. By the
running away of a carriage, a young lady, a Miss
Shields, was thrown out aud so injured that she
died the next day. Her sister, who jumped out,
as the horses were about to descend a precipitous
hill, was also very much hurt. This occurred on
Friday night last. The Virginia Legislature,
afraid to trust the Governor, are going to make
him call them together again. VVe had very heavy
rains all day Saturday.; it is now clear.
Hermes.
Way no wa lose so mast Officers in late
Battles? —“Uermcb” writing to the Mercuryfrom
Richmond, alluding to the battle of Gen. Jackson
near Winchester, says:
It will be noticed that in this battle, ay at Klk-
Lorn, in Arkansas, and other recent actions, our
losses in officers have been grievous. To ac
count for this by the real or supposed rashness of
the officers themselves, will not answer. It will
be found, sooner or later, that the Yankees have
organized in each army a band of practiced sharp
shooters, whose business it is, with long-range
rifles, to pick off the officers. By means of tele
scopic sights, this can be done at a great distance,
and where the sharp-shooter himself is entirely
out of danger. All he has to do is to put his rifle
at rest, adjust his telescope, and shoot down offi
cer after officer. The design in this murderous
business is obvious. The Yankee theory is that
the rebellion is due to men of influence, by whose
pernicious example the ignorant are led astray
from the fold of the ‘‘glorious Union.” Destroy
the leaders and the rest become like lost sheep.
The conduct of the army under Zollicofter, after
that heroic man had falleD, gave countenance to
the theory, and so did Van Dorn's retreat after
the loss of McCulloch and others. It is probable
that gun9have been specially constructed for the
purpose alluded to—guns like old John Brown’s
that will carry a mile. What are we to do with
these wretches - ' I answer, as Jackson did at
Manassas, when told that th* enemy were driving
us back, “We’ll give them the baronet, sir—the
bayonet!
Port March 15X4. large quantity of
heavy siege guns, and mortars, and shells and
ammunition, says the Baltimore American have
been shipped from Hilton Head to Tybee Island
within the past few days. On Thursday, March
13th, Commodore Tatnall attempted to pass the
batteries on Bird’s Island and Jones’ Island with a
fleet, containing supplies of wood and water for
tort Puiaski, but he was.driven back. It is only
a question of time as to the surrender of Fort ?u- j
lksto, It cannot hold out much longer, 1
