The reply is eminently fitted to encourage such malcon tents, and to draw around them others who have heretofore been silent. If there is any possibility of peace, on pity terms, from the Lincoln government, there are some who have become so utterly wearied with the war that they would accept them—though they involved the sacrifice of ail for which patriots have con tended since the inauguration of this contest. It was doubtless for the special encouragement of this class that the intimations in question have been thrown out. But what kind of proposals dbes Mr. Lincoln ask ? Did not our Commissioners go to Wash ington, and most earnestly entreat the estab lishment of amicable relations between the se ceded St ites and their late colleagues ? Did not our President declare that peace with all mankind must of necessity be the policy (where it was possible) of the Confederate States? Af ter seventy-five thousand men were called out to suppress insurrection, and repossess the forts, did ndt our President issue his proclamation, “ protesting solemnly in the face of all man kind, that we desired peace?” If, by over tures for peace, Mr. Lincoln means that we have not asked our Nortiiern masters to forgiv* us for the crime of withdrawing from the part nership. which we held with them ; have not begged permission to pay taxes for the support of their manufacturing establishments, and to employ Northern factors to receive and to dis tribute our produce ; have not, whilst their armed soldiers were standing over us, sought the privilege of re entering the league with them—(hen we confess that we have not asked lbi peace. Our President, in view of what has transpired, has said that the next proposition for peace must come from the Northern Gov ernment. And, if any tiling were necessary to give emphasis to this remark, if. would be the discourtesy recen ly cast upon our Vice-Presi dent when proposing a mission to Washington in the interests of humanity. TUB MASSACTII SETTS FLAG OVER WAG. A. It. When our brave troops were compelled to relinquish .Wagner, a few days ago, our enemy instead of displaying their National Flag, un furled the banner of Massachusetts. So they departed in this instance from their invariable custom—giving some prominence to Stat(|dig nity, when heretofore their aim seems to have been to merge the States into one consolidated government— there must have been some pe culiar reason for this glorification of the Mas sachusetts symbol ! Was t that the Fort was captured exclusively by-the daring and blood of the sons -of Massachusetts ? If so this might have been a fitting recognition of her services. 'l’lxo ‘■Uni e wlxli.U worn*. iL.o should be awarded a conspicuous place in the hour of triumph. Put Massachusetts was only one of many States combining in this assault. We have taken prisoners from nearly all the Fast ern, the Middle and some of the Western States since the assault began, and these ought uot to be ignored in the hour of rejoicing. The truth is that the prominence given to Massachusetts in the matter is only another illustration of the malignant vindictiveness which animates the invader. It was thought that this State would be peeuliarily offensive to South Carolina, and they doubtless designed to exasperate her sons by flaunting in their faces the banner which was peculiarly detestable to them Perhaps they remembered that it was a son of South Carolina, who on two diffe ent occasions had contended in favor of State Lights, on the floor of the Senate, against the greatest States man of New England, and with the recollection of this Southern audacity rankling in their bos oms, sought some satifaction for the injury by subjec'ing the fallen Fort to tire humiliation which they imposed. Perhaps the remembrace of the cavalier treatment of Vr. Hoar, who was sent a few years ago from Poston to Charles ton, to demand a revision of the laws in force in the latter place, stimulated them to offer this mean outrage to the sensibilities of brave men fighting around their own homes for the protection of their families and altars. Or it may be the fact that South Carolina had the temerity to execute iu 1800 what Massachusetts and her New England Confederates preqiosedm 1814, which the enemy to intensify as much as possible the mortification experi enced by the loss of a work built for the do. fence of the best bated State ( by the Yankees,) iu the Southern Confederacy. But whatever the motive, it will look to all the world like the gratification of a petty revenge more worthy of savages than of a people claiming to be civi lised. In keeping with the flag insult, we have learned from sundry northern journals, that Butler, a citizen of Massachusetts, a man who behaved so outrageously iu New Orleans, that members of Parliament declared in their pla ces, that they blushed to think that they be longed to the same i ace with such a man, has been nnnouncad already as the military com mander of the city so soon as it shall be taken. Not satisfied with inflicting this degradat'on on the people when the city is in their power, they would exasperste file Carolinians in ad vance by the prospect which awaits them. But we hope it will belong before the tyrant whose infamous rule iu New Orleans has made his name a synonym with all that is villainous, wilt be allowed to exercise his sway in Charles ton. Wagner and Gregg it ig true have fallen, and Sumter is in ruins. The Forts on the other Islands may’» silenced or their relin quishment compelled, but when tins work is done, Charleston will not have been occupied. The fnly rule that Butler, or any other Federal gen., will ever assert iu Charleston will be over a mass of blackened ruins—illustrations of the endurance and sacrifice of the brave spirits who have perished in the wreck or who have with drawn to dispute the advance of the invader. Gay. Howsu. Cobb ia now in Atlanta. He is now assigned to tha duty of organising the 8.000 troops raised for service ia this Stats, and will command th# satire State force. Ths troo s will, doubtless, be gratified at being placed a ruler the oommand of one of Georgia's distinguished sons. M. J. M. Combs, the agent of ths Stats Road at Uingjold ia held a prisoner by ths enemy. Gov. Vangs and tux North Cargusa Thau ors.—Gov. Vanee, of North Carnlin I, has made a move iu the right direction. He has taken official notice of the traitors in the various sec tions of his State. In a late proclamation he uotifiea those who have made threats of com bined resistance against the laws of Congress, in regard to conscription and the collection of taxes, that unless they cease their tory proceed ings and renounce their evil intentions, that ha will execute the laws upon them in the most rigid manner. The pro. lamation is a patriotic on*. 'Wlill* it defends the rights of the people, it advocates the upholding of our Confederate authorities While it informs all tlsat they shall have the pro tection of the latvs which please them, it plain ly informs them that the laws which de not please them will be strictly and impartially en forced. If this admirable State paper does mot cause the toriea of North Caroliaa—who are eudeav oring to produce discord, revolution, and rnin to our cause—to turn from their evil ways and desist from their evil designs, then nothing but the sword and the bayonet will answer in their ease. If necessary, these should be applied, and without stint. The disease to be cured i* a virulent one. The remedy should be severe and effectual. There is no use of dealing with persistent traitors miidly. Playing wi h rep tiles of a deadl) poisonous nature is a danger ous business. *■ Fedkrat. Rwlh im Natc«sb.—Natche* is now completely under Federal rule, and her citterns are experiencing that “ great lova ” which Lin coln and his holds hare for those who reside in the South. The people are subjected to every specie of indignity and anneyanco that can be devised by their Federal, persecutor*. On* eingul.tr custom has been int oduoed that we suppose will he followed up elsewhere, that of compelling ladies who may wish to mttena di vine service upon the Sabbath day, to procure a Provost Marshal's pass,which must be presented to a pair es drunken Yankee bullies stationed at each door. The Selma Reporter coinmeat* thus on the matter : Just think es it a moment, reader! Defers our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters can have permission to worship Almighty God in the temples which have been dwdieated to His name, they'must pasa the ordeal of insult at the hands of a dirty, thieving set of rapscallions, hardly fit to have their heads blown off and used as manure for the next cotton crop. And yet there are to be found men who occasionally hope that the glorious Union will < nee more be reconstructed.' Could they ba compelled to re side for a short time with their families within the corporate limits of Natchea,they would wish e.ery puritanic knave who hails from I. in coin dom plunged into a batli of boiling brimstone, with the privilege of knowing that their agonies were to prove eternal. Tho CoNFKDKBATB SxHAMBft FLORIDA. Ft 081 tl.p |ia|tpTa I .y tho taut arrival from Hui'Ope we learn the steamer Florida was st'll off the English coast. The Liverpool 'limes says her appearance has caused great exoitemenl It was first reported that she had sent 75,80i ounces of her prise money to Liverpool by an English vessel. The agent of tbs Federal Gov eminent was anxious to take men* ires te get possession of it, and the Seutherners manifest' ed a desire to make a counter movement; othor reports state that the Florida wus waiting for some American vessels that were expected at Liverpool. The London limes states that the English ship Clio, just arrived at that port, re ports seeing a large American veeseil burned nearly to the waters edge on the second of July. The officers of the Clio aiforward* hailed the Alabama, who ackuowledged that they set firo to the ship. The Cork Herald says that the Alabama has a crew of about 'wo hundred and fifty men and is a screw steamer of extraordinary swiftness, and is disguised iu such a manner as to puzzle the-keenest Observer. Her hull is long and low, her sails look old and patched, and no ex ternal trace is visible of her real strength and power. FKDEItAL WaHVABB AND ATROCITIES IX MIS SOURI. —Ths federal officials grow more bar barous every day in their warfare in Missouri. Defenceless people who are sus acted of even laroring the South iu the least, are being shot down in cold blood, amd robbed of their homes and property.- Wealthy families are lieing stripped of all their possessions, and their resi dences given to Abolitioni-ts. Negroes, are taken wherever found, and put into the Fede ral ranks. Jim Lane has commenced his bloody pro gramme for the future. lie says ho vfill not rest satisfied until lie hai wiped out the. inhabi tants of the border-counties in Missouri, with out regard to sex, age, condition or politics, and to bnrn over all tho oountry bordiering on Kansas on the east, two or three corn dies deep, and to lay waste everything in that section. These infamous deeds are counten tnced and even encouraged clandestinely by the Lincoln authorities at Washington. It is to be hoped* that their day of retribution will come to tho Northern Abolitionists, and that they will have th# full measure of the cruelties they bar# meted out to others meted out to them. Good Effects or Guskiixa Warfakk.- -The late Federal raiders in North Mississippi were roughly handled by the justly incensed p* ople of that section on t heir revreit. Guerilla par ties greeted them with bullets, from near!; y ev ery dense thicket through "which they pas sed ; many a Federal thief was sent to his long home by unseen hands. At th# Coldwater er ossing alone a party of Confederates with douh le bar elled shot guns- killed sixteen and wi aunded thirty. The coneeale I party in that pis oe oer tainly gave a good account of themseb em. If our ]>eople in every section throng h which a Federal raid is mide would give, : ,g good ac count of themselves as the Ntfrth Missif -sippians have, the promiscuous plundering hairiness of our foes outside their lines would so on cease. Nothing is more dreadful to the huo nan mind than the idea of being shot down by an unseen enemy. Besides our oppressors are co wards at heart, aud will avoid all auctions wh« ire they think the people are prepared to give th.vm a warm and deserved reception. The enample get by the gallant Mississippians is ago od cne. Let it be followed by our people everywhere m body of Federal thieves show themsel vv a. Th# citizens of Danville. Va.. are forming MHeaiations to procure previsions eh«.*p. Gone ■ cxiiLiNG.—One of the most important events of the day is the great lumbie in the price of gold. Every where it can be purchased at a much less rate than formerly. In Rich mond the papers state that the fall has been nearly five hundred per cent, within the last ten days. Iu Atlanta, also, that greatest of all speculating and diamond-cut-diamond cities, both gold and silver have declined in value. These signs in various sectious of the Confede racy are good. They show the returning con fidence of the people in our currency. They also show that our citieens still have unbounded coutdence in those who manage our affairs. One class of persons who have done our cause great injury, are those who traffic in gold and silver. They ha vs a direct and manifest interest in diminishing the value of Confederate currency. It would be expecting too much from' human selfishness to suppose that they would not get all they could for their gold, silver, and bills as they possibly can. We think that the career of these gentlemen should be stopped. Heavy taxation will do it. Touch their pocket* sensibly, and remove into the State or Confederate Treasury their enormous profits, and they soon would seek another busi ness and become more patriotic in their deeds at once. Another class of persons who have done great injury to onv. cause, is onr weak-kneed, time serving Confederate and State Legislative bodies. Most of the persons who have com posed them heretofore, have shown themselves to be nothing more than mere huckstering demagogue* ; shaping their course for re-elec tion. W« are gted to notice that some of these men have awoke to a sense of their duty, and that it h the evident disposition of the State Legislatures, n»w assembled and about to be assamblod, to put an end to the unpatriotic traffic In the precious metals and iu Federal note*. Aji Gyrtoan worthy of a Hhro.—On the last day ai our occupancy of Morris’ Island, the gallant Col. Keitt, of South Carolina, was in oomm&nd of the forces. Everything looked gloomy enough, but the heart of our heroic Oolon*l never quailed ‘for a moment. About midday, and iu tho midst of the terrific burff bavdn ent from sea and laud, he dispatched Gen. Beauregard as follows : "Will the boats be here <*> night for garri son f If so, at.what time? if our sacrifice w 11 be of any benefit to the cause, say so ; and 1 will sMmi the enemy's work at once, or lose every man ®u this Island —the enemy is within fifty yards of us and by day dawn they will be upon u* —therefore we should assault them to night.” Everybody who knows Col. Keitt would ex pect nothing else of him but the loss of his own life and tho lives of those under him, if the welfare of tho cause he is engaged. in demand ed such a sacrifice. No officer more bravo ever led bis command to a charge. If the same gallant spirit fills the hearts of ihe other officers at Charleston—and we trust it does—that city will never be taken y the Federals. if our troops iu all sections were under the charge of men or the same stamp of Col. Ke tt, we would hear of daring deeds and great- victories more frequently than we do now. Somh»**no all Should bbak in Mind. —Every loyal m m iho*ld remember that this war is not a war for conquest, nor a war for the grati tlcation of ambitious men, but a war merely for o*rj»st rights, a war upon which hangs the destiny *f every inhabitant of the Southern States. If W* are conquered in this contest, then farewell to civil leberty upon this conti nent, for tbo present, and probably for all time. We with future generations, will he doomed to live auder a despotism worse than any in the JEhatem world. We must not wait to count coet —all that wo have is at staka. If we are victorious, and have lest our money, we are independent, but if we bave our money and a e conquered, then we ear slaves. There are doubtless a few tories and traitors in every portion of the Confederacy, but with tbesfi exceptions, our people are all tra*, brave and patriotic, and will be found filling the measure of their duty to the country. It is gratifying to learn, as we do from our exchan ges, and thipugh ether sources, that .thousands wbo bave b -«a called deserters are returning to their posts, and that thousands more who have not yet been i* the army are volunteering add swelling tb* ranks. Tin WAT T*a FHD-EAiS Trbat Nmgroes iX MimeaiFri, —The Federal* are showing their aame “great love” for the negro in Miseissipipi that they have exhibited elsewhere.

Ilia Majority at that time was very large.

In this # way some six hundred citizens were prevented from saying who they would “have to rule over them.” This “ gag game’’ wes also practised In other sections of the State.

LXXVrt—NEW SERIES YOi. XXVII. NO. 38 Federal Depredations is orth Mississippi —A correspondent "of the Selma Mississippian in writing from Grenada, gives an account of the depredations the Federals are continually committing in that section. Comment on such tiendishness as narrated below is unnecessary : In aome'eases not a negro was left in the plantation. Sucking infants and sin 11 child', en were left, and their mothers taken off- In one case a negro woman persistently and el mo rously refused to leave her .baby, as ordered, when a brute of a Yankee e> ked the child bom her arms and biained it agai st a tree. Child ren, bcc. jning cumbersome, were foiled left in the road. Asa gen r.il thing but lew hfgre.es went voluntarily. Some escap and and returned to their homes, stating that t e soldiers treated the negro women and girl- most brntislily.— After "cleaning out” a residence, they would smash pianos, min ors and tab!* ware, break the -furniture and cooking ittensiis, carry off or de nroy the provisions -having nothing to eat noj satything to cook in. The Mississippian’s correspondent remarks tbits on guerrilla warfare, and upon t’ua condi tion of matters as they will *xist wlisr* the Yankees succeed in establishing th*ir rule : The peasant gue rills* of .Spain drove the \iest army out of their country that the first Napoleon ever sent into it. We have far grsat .er advantages than were possessed b/ th* half armed hut courageous, unflinching-, untiring peasantry of Spain, who really bail no-other cause to fight for than the choic* of which two despots should be their tyrant. Tbs more we yield, hoping thereby to' save ourselves- from. Yankee molestation— the longer we remain “ tender-footed” in regard to adopting tbs guerrilla mode of warfare, which is n*t «nly right and proper, but natural, the longer will w« b* subjected to the insults and outrages • f tii* accursed race of Yankees who are her* ready to wrest from us that which i* lawfully onr own. and which vre hope to loav* as au inheri tance to o*»children. Think of it, ye rich, large-landed planters— ye grasping, money-loving, gold worshiping merchants and traders ! Would you *•* your own young sons, your tender, beloved, darling daughters, grow up to ask work and same* for a support, of the vulgar rece wlio may occupy —and will if you don’t fight—-hereafter your own homesteads, whilst you yourselves, poor and aged, will be -compelled io swallow insults from those who once belonged to you, and sub mit to become the equals if not the underlings of your present slaves ! This is precisely the state m to which th* Yan kees have doomed you, and nothing but fight ing will reverse tlie judgment. Do as you may, talk as you may, hope as you may, this will b» your inevitable fate unless you lay every other wotdly consideration aside, end do yonr utmost to save wliat you tethave left. The Blockade Fkadis ofEn-glishShips.—The London Herald gives (lie annexed account of the dispute between England and th* United States concerning the blockade trade ol Eng lish ships : -A- l Q ng correspondence between the English authorities and those of the United States has been published on the subject of the regula tions established -by the Federal Government at the port of New York as to ve‘ self trading to the Bahamas. The, correspondence origina ted in May last ysay, when eompU nts wore made by merchants and others in Nissau that the custom house at Now York required ship pers there for the Bahamas to give - onds taai none of the goods would be deliveio-l at Con federate ports, and this they-complained of; aa an undue restriction upon trade, it appeared that the restrictions were directed by au act ot Congress of 1801. Earl Russell accordingly directed remonstran-, cos to be Made again t such re trie-lions, as vio lating the treaty of 1815 between this country afid the United States, giving English ships freedom to trade in American ports; ml in August and September last Lord Lyons r mon strated with Mr. Seward. Mr. Pewar i replied by mni tabling that the reXhiclions complained of were into.mil acts Os adwinistiation, apply- ing equally to American and English ships; and he pointed lo tire vast increase of tho com merce of Nassau since the o itbreak of the ww as a proof that the restrictions did not interfere with the “ legitimate’’ trade to that port. Earl Russeil replied that this was no answer Uo his complaint, and it was perfectly lawful for British ships at Nassau to trail ship Coir cargoes for American ports. In his disratch -dated De ember 17, he, however, expressed tli» hope that, notwithstanding Mr. Sr ward’ff de fence, the remonstrance would have the practi cal effect of preventing the continuance or rep etition of similar pr .ceedingH. Mr. Seward re joined, on January 9. but at the cU-se ol his ar guments lie gave tlie rssurance that.tlte Jaws of the United States wool 1 continue to be execu ted in such a way as to afford no just g ound for complaint of par'ialit? or injustice. Earl Russell, however, having discontinued the correspondence, hoping that his remon strance win Id hav practical effect, wrote-to Lord Lyons on the 18th July, noticing tbe rep resentation of Messrs. Tootal, Broad urstACo. that sqch a bond nad been required of them when making a shipment to Nassau on the 1 Jlh of June last. His Lordship considers this ai a proof tliattheintereference of the United authorities with the trade is still persist™ in, and instructs Lord Lyons to address a frost re monstrance on the subject. Forney on the War. —John G. Fornsy. ons of the most corrupt politicians who ever drew breath, formerly a prominent Democrat hut now one of Lincoln’s chief advisers, lias been making a speech in Washington on matters iu general.

Muxdb the Federal Commander of the thTarmv of the Potomac, has been presented with a sword. He made a speech on th# occa idon Abolition of ceurs# throughout. H« ihinks it “impossibl# that this great oountry should b# divided ; that therv should ke tw a Governments or two flags on this continent, that such athng is out of the question Mr. Meade will alter his opinion By-and-by. 11# will find his impossibil ties all possible—and realities too, not Lu the way he withes, but j just the opposito. Sinoular and horrible de* as*. —Th* fol lowing account of a singular and horrid di**nsa is given by tiro New Haven, Conn., J*"rnni : Some ten months'ago Mr. Cbas Moitree, of Fairhaven, was at Lagos and at Ar*rn, *>u the Guinea coa t. «hither he had sailed a* mate with Captain Post, in the bark K irrU-th, and white there he drank of . the water of that part of the world, without thinking to t»k’ th* pre cautions comoniy in use eniofig the native* far tb : pr vention cfa terrible disnsoo lurew. a* the Guinea worm. It appears that ills African* always boil this water before drinking, in ordar to destroy the minute invisible a ::g of the w#rm, which is so small, that it is absorbed by the b'ood vessels frr.m the stomach, and in in that manner distributed in various parts of th? body uhu liy the legs, where it is hatched, nnd after a ling time makes its appearance in kb* *h*p» of a white, thread like worm, poi -tsd on both ends, and it (wines and twists all about th* muscles aud veins and arteries, but Jrofla*** no partieiar feeling of uneasin*** anti I sftm* part of its body comes near the idtin, wh*n bad inflammation take place.. • It was in March last that Mr. Monro* b«Ww to by troubled with them, and for three a* nth* he lias not walked h step, lie t* now at th* Connecticut State Hospital, under treatment, «ii-l one worm has been taken fiom the bottom of his foot that measures over two feet in l*ngth. The w:.y it is done is this: When th* aorfaea of the skin is so pricked or irritated km to show where tjie "eri'ter” is, a thread teYMtened to him, and a small weight attached t.<> th* ether end of the thread. The worm g*t* tired of pulling so steady a strain, and giv«* ground a trifle day by day, and as he eom* out, a lk*t /-pool winds him up until he i* »11 up. Th* pain is very great. For forty nights, Mr. Mon roe hardly slept on account of the suffering. One worm is now in process of being drawjx from his heel, and those medical men who haw never seen a case of the kind are muck interes ted. Gr.e t care has to be taken not t* pull too hard, b*cause the worm would break aud *k* trouble bo much prolonged. It* medioal name Is dracunaculu*, aud it grows to b* **v*- rai fe*t in length. It is endemic In kot oou trie*. When the bother commence*, tt ap pears under the skin like a vsriccM vain, and after a painful boil has been format! nnd tk* skin broken, the bead of the animal i* ditwov ured. Mr. Monroe, is very patient under tk* strange affliction, and we hope before long to see him restored to health. An European Opinion of Mirras* ac an South. —The London ‘Times in speaking of Ml* feeling which exists throughout th* loath, comments thus : Until the South surrenders at discretiea *r goes fn e, the orth arc destined, in *i) perpe tuity, to maintain their armies and their Isd*. The-e would-be conqueror* should iudg* their Southern brethren by-themselves. They c-heuld ask themselves what would be tire f- cm of 4?** r resistance if their chief cities were occupied by th* armies of a detested invader. There is no faltering /it present in th* spirit of the Southern people ; there tt no party among them crying out for submission ; no op position to their leaders; no insurrection* against the conscription. While tbii tt »o, th* loss of Charleston would add nothing of proba bility to the Northern expectation of the ulti mate subjection of the country. When we look for the reason* for th* *xulbb tion which now pervad the Northern Bt»tea, we discern positively nothing that justlfie* it. If the Southern people mean what tasy *»y, and if they hate tho Northerners with tho -ori of hatred which people generally enters*;u to wards those who have destroyed then- hum.**, confiscated their property, and steu* hfared their relations, the Northerners are ten yeni* yet from tbe object of their dcsir**, even if those ten years were years of success. Thee* must be many men among them who know this There must he a class who feel a* jw**k *. scorn i-ws we in Europe feel for th* britg N®d rowdyism which palms itself off upon th* world as Federal pu-dic opinion, but whi*h r*- sem,bles in our eyes nothing hut the low, irna»- pareut cunning of the weak and illiterate of every race and nation. What else can b* khi* childish nonsense ol feigning to belreve that the Southern people, whose count'y they hav* just desolated, could bo tempted to join them in a united war to annex Mexico and Canada l This is just the sort of bombast an Asiatic would talk when he trembled in his sauilals. There was a vaunting patriotism in th* Roinau who bought the soil under tho invader’s camp at its fuß value, but there was no great merit iu the Roman who merely offered it for sala. HorkECL.—Notwithstanding the apparent had look of the ‘’situation’’ in Tenn*a,eo, there are those cognizant cf the facts, who we eci couraged for the future. The editor of tb* Chattanooga Rebel is one of these. Hopnlul words like, the following appear in hi* issue of the Bth instant : The present week is pregnant witli result*—> The most important battle ot the whole war ia likely to take place in North Georgia or upon the Southern bank of the Tenness##. It ia evident the enemy is crossing his whol# foi#» somewhere below Chattanooga, and from tke activity which prevails in our own army, we are of opinion that, the whole foroe will h# thrown upon the invaders at once. We have never before felt a greater depaa of confidence in our ability to meet and over come the enemy. We have not th# shadow of a doubt as to the result. Our force is ampl#, our position favorable, and the disadvantage# altogether with the Federal commander. VOi the first time during the war, wo have, if not the numerical advantage, at least an eg -ality in point of numbers. So far as material t# con cerned, we are more than a match for to# mon grel crew of Yankees, Dutchmen, hosiers, and negroes', who have boldly crossed a rivac in the face of a foe, defiant, determined «and burning for an opportunity to meet them. A decisive victory, with the rout of the enemy and a stream difficult of passage iu their rear, will leave the Yankees in the West ajpnost without an Te™c SS ee and Kentucky may b# restored kg a single battle. The only apprehension we foM. with regard te it, if the battle be fought, is t’-.at agreeably to the system of West Point ta@- t'es the value of a moment may not be aopre* dated The experience taught is, in aot fol lowing up the victory of the first Manassas, May, however, 9b of advantage to us in the coming conflict. If the'enemy is met, he will be over come—and if he is defeated, in the name of lib erie, and for the sake of the noble, suffering, loyal Southern women cf Kentucky and Ten - nessee, let him. he pursued over mountain and plain, till we drive him beyond th© Ohio.
