EFFECTSOF WAR!
rSVIIK effect of the war policy of the Northern
X administration is already being felt to a
great extent all ovor the North. The heavy de
cline in iho value of property of all kinds, tho al
most entire suspension of their manufactories,
and the many failures that occur every day
among their commercial houses, aro the first
signs of the terrible result and the just punish
ment of a crisis which they have inaugurated
themselves.
Merchants of the host standing are compelled
to throw their goods into market and auction
houses in order to realize the cash, while such
can only be done at great sacrifices.
Ilaving returned a few days ago from the North,
we had occasion while there, to witness some of
these large auction Rales, where some of the finest
and most fashionable goods were sold at unusual
low prices; in fact so low that we could not resist
the temptation, and concluded to purchase a
good supply for our market, and we take pleas
ure now to offer tho same to our customers and
public in general at a very small profit. Among
tho many articles we mention particularly.

Gov. Jackson of Missouri.
In his speech at Richmond, a few nights
since, Gov. Jackson, of Missouri, stated
that Gen. Ben McCulloch and himself had
now an army of about 40,000 available
troops, and rapidly increasing ; that he
had come tq Virginia to settle some little
matters preparatory to the secession of
his State, after which he intended to re
turn to his Western homo and take the
field, never to leave it until success had
crowned his efforts.
Spirit of Georgians.
The Richmond Enquirer, of the 29th,
says : “At a late hour on Friday evening,
we met, on the street, a youth from
Georgia, who anxiously inquired if there
was any chance for him, at that hour, to
procure a pass to Manassas for the next
morning’s train, stating that he had left
home on Wednesday, to take the place of
one of his brothers, who had fallen in the
battle of Sunday. He added that he had
lost in this war, another brother, whose
place would also be supplied by a member
of his family.”
Wliat the London Times Correspond
ent tlitnks of tile FlglU.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Ex
change, from Washington, says that Mr.
Russell, of the London Times, who was
present at tho battle, states that the loss
in killed and wounded of the Federals
must amount t 012,00 that the loss
of the Confederates will probably reach
4,000. lie states that history records no
such defeat for the past century—no rout
so utter aud complete as that of the Fed
eral forces. The fighting of the Southern
men, he says, was magnificent. They
fired with the precision of veterans. —
They would fall to permit their artillery
to tire, and then rising, discharge their
muskets and charge bayonet in splendid
order. Some of the evolutions were su
perb, and performed with perfect rapidi
ty, coolness and discipline.
From the Petersburg Express.
Colonel Pegrarn.
As Colonel Pegram ha3 many anxious
ly enquiring friends, who are ignorant
as to whother he is dead or alive, and if
living where he is, I deem a removal of
all doubt, aud a short account of his
gallant action, will not be unacceptable
to tho public.
We left Col. Pegrarn quite sick, but
well attended in Beverly. He is certainly
to be sent to Fort McHenry, as we heard
the order from Gen. Scott read. As to
his actions in the battle of Rich Moun
tain, any one in the fight would concur
with me in saying that a braver man
never drew a sword. With 1,000 men he
kept at bay 9,000 Yankees. During the
thickest of the fight he rode from one
place to another on the field, with as
much coolness and calmness a3 a farmer
riding in different parts oi liis iarm.
Unfortunately one piece of our cannon
which was playing with effect upon the
enemy, bursted. The other piece had to
be removed from tho battery, the horses
of which took fright and ran away, and
thus it fell in possession of the enemy.
When he heard of it, his clear and musi
cal voice could be heard above the sound
of musketry, saying, “I will have that
cannon or die, and at the risk too, my
brave boys, of sacrificing every one of
you.” He then removed nearly every
man from his breastworks to go with him.
Unhappily, whilst leading on his mon,
the bit of his bridle broke, and his horse
dashed off with him towards the enemy,
lie was unable to restrain him, and just
as he was about to be carried in the
midst of the enemy, lie jumped off, and
in the fall he struck his head, which was
severely hurt. He was heard to say that
not less than one thousand balls were
directed at him. Thus badly hurt, he
had to be taken to his tent. He gave the
command of the men he had with him to
Major Tyler, saying he would take care
1 of the men about his cannon and breast
works. About midnight he sent word to
i Tyler to save his men, who did so; to
the rest of us he said “Boys follow me
! I shall shed my last drop of blood to seve
you.” Thus we retreated towards Laurel
j Hill, with Pegram in our arms, not hav
] ing heard a word of Garnett’s retreat.
THE QUITMAN liUAHDS, &e.
Pike C,.„ Ala., July 23.
Eds. Sun: It is presumed that a sketch
of the events of Saturday, the 20th inst.,
in extending the hospitalities of this
community to the “Quitman Guards,” of
Troy, on their way to the seal of war,
may not he uninteresting to a greater
portion of your readers.
When it was known that they would
be here, on the day mentioned above, the
generous aud patriotic citizens hastened
to prepare for them a suitable reception.
At something past 11 o’clock, a pro
cession ol citizeus was formed, which,
being led by Capt. Sinquelield, moved up
the highway, at some distance to meet
tho corps which was iu waiting.
Ou their return, the Guards in the
rear, the spectacle presented was quite
entertaining; and many were the eulogies
pronounced iu behalf of their manly aud
soldierlike appearance.
Judgiag from their mien, none will give
a better account of themselves iu the
hour of trial, and when victory is won
and they return to their peaceful homes,
many and romantic will be the tales they
may have to tell their children and pos
terity, aud in after days, when the his
torian is called upon lo record the stir
ring events, that are now transpiring,
and that will occur, he may have occasion
to write in blazing capitals the deeds of
the immortal Quitman Guards, on the
the bright page of history.
The company being formed iu double
file, and an appropiate prayer being of
fered by Rev. J. J. Harris, they were
welcomed to the hospitalities of tho com
munity, by Dr. J. S. Simmons, in an
eloquent address. After its delivery,
Capt. Gardner responded, in words, por
traying a mind clothed in all of the Chris
tian graces.
In behalf of the ladies, Miss Martha
A. Bean, then bid them welcome in a
brief speech, which would have done
honor to au older head.
Tho multitudinous throng was held in
profound silence during its delivery, and
gave way to an outburst of applause.
A sympathetic response, from Private
A. W. Starke, closed the ceremonies, and
the Guards marched off to partake of
the refreshments so bounteously offered.
Tho following are the addresses, re
spectively, of Dr. J. S. Simmons and
Miss M. A. Bean, which we hope may
find a place in your columns:
C. L. M.
Capt. Gardner, and Gentlemen of the Quit
man Guards :
It is with no ordinary degree of pleas
ure that I, as the humble represen
tative of the citizens of this vicinity,
welcome you tq our hospitalities.
And I feel well assured, gentlemen,
that I but speak the sentiments of every
member of this community, when I say
that we are proud that an opportunity is
thus offered us to manifest, in an humble
manner, our regard for you, and the in
terest feel in the cause which leads
you away from your homes and friends.
Were this only a social gathering—had
you merely bid a short adieu to your
homes to celebrate the festivities and
share the hospitalities of friends, what
a different feeling would pervade this
assemblage. But when we behold your
glittering bayonets and glistening swords,
we are reminded that our once peaceful
and happy people are again convulsed
with the tumults of the war.
The proud fabric, reared by the hands
of our fathers and cemented with their
blood has been desecrated by unholy and
unjust Sands:
“But yesterday the word of Ctesar might,
Have stood against the world’s; now lies lie
there,
And none so poor to do him reverence.”
Yes, the “Stars and Stripes” which
wave over sea and land, and offered pro*
tection to every citizen of our once glo
rious republic, are now,
“Gone glim’ring thro’ the dreams of things that
were,
A schoolboy’s tale—the wonder of an hour.”
But this has not been the work of a
dayi Tho vandals at the North have
long since laid the axe at the root of the
tree, while the patriotic sons of the
South, have been crying in thunder
tones,
“Woodman spare that tree.”
The Southern patriots, true to the
blood of their sires, have determined to
resist the oppression, and maintain the
inheritance of their fathers—liberty and
tho right of self government are senti
ments prevailing in every Southern heart
—“liberty or death.”
Therefore, all over the united South,
we who are not gone, are ready for the
war. Already old Piko has attended the
call, and ‘still they come.’
I would here take occasion to say, that
notwithstanding wo have not made any
great public display of our feelings—looal
subdivisions having prevented us from
having soldiers in the field—nevertheless
we have many among us who are anxious
to share the dangers as well as the glories
of the battle field, and many who are
willing to sacrifice their all upon the
alter of their beloved South.
Therefore, be assured that old Bug
Hall willjoin you not far in the distance,
and when the waves of abolitionism, that
now lash our shores, shall have been
stayed, and when our famous military
chieftains are gathering, and meting out
the laurels of victory, we, 100, hope to be
there to receive, with you, our share of
the fruits due to patriotic bravery.
This occasion, gentlemen, will also re
mind you that the ladies in this vicinity
have not been passive nor unthinking
observers of our military movements.
They have graced every military assem
blage with their presence, and exhibited
a willing heart and a helping hand, but
their inviting smiles speak to you in
softer-greeting tones than words, which
man can speak.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me assure
you that you will have our heartfelt wish
es and prayers for your success in the
contest. May the God of battles guide
and protect you in every conflict —may
your banner never trail in tbe duel anu
when the din of war is over, and the last
contending foe expires—when the drum 6
muffled notes shall cca3e, may you be per
mitted to return to your homes and
friends, and again inhale the fragrance
of your own magnolia and the balmy
breath of your own sunny clime, and long
live to enjoy thu victories and glories you
have won : and yrben you shall havepas
{NUMBER 5.
•sed away, generations yet unborn, virw
ing your glorious deeds through the tel
escope of history, will sing blessings on
your name in choral lotbe skies.
Speeclt of Mias Bean.
Capt. Gardner, and Citizen Soldiers :
We behold this morning a very unusual
spectacle. Why all this martial array ?
Why do wo see so many of our gallant
countrymen bearing on their person the
implements of deadly combat? Ah ! let
us turn the anxious ear to the hills of
Virginia and the plains of Missouri, and
the cannon’s roar will answer emphati
cally in tones of thunder. Ask" Mrs.
Jackson, bereaved of her brave and
patriotio husband. Our beloved Sunny
South is invaded by the hirelings and
minions of an unprincipled despot. Aud,
gentlemen, although it is your lot to cut
loose the tie that binds you to your loved
one’s at home, and take up the march
for the distant battle field, to encounter
tho hardships and dangers of war, re
member, 1 pray you, that you have left
behind you in your own l’ike, yes, around
Farriorville, your female friends whose
fervent prayers will ever ascend to the
God of battles in your behalf.
We cannot take up arms to defend our
country. Wo need not, but we have souls
that will follow*you—wo have hearts of
sympathy. We cannot fill the place of a
Martha Washington, but like those that
lived in the days of the Revolution, we
can honor the friends and despise, with
indignation, the'enemies of our country.
Ours is not the motive of fear ; with our
armies composed of the flower of our
country—such as we now have the pleas
ure to behold—fighting for the cause of
justice and liberty, vo never dream of
subjugation—no, never!
Go bravo soldiers ! Repel the dastard
ly invader ! Gain for your country peace,
and for yourselves laurels, that will dec
orate the pages cf your country’s history.
And may the kind hand of Providence be
over you, and speedily return you to the
fond embraces of your dear families and
friends in good old Pike.

The Great Battle.
Wo make a further summary of inci
dents of the battle of Manassas, taken
from various sources:
RETURN OF THE “GRAND ARMY.”
The Alexandria correspondent writes
the Baltimore Exchange :
This town to day lias been the theatre
of evonts and spectacles, the like of which
have never before been witnessed on this
continent. The Grand Army of the Un
ion, which so lately left here in all the
pride, pomp and circumstance of glor
ious war, with drums beating, colors
flying, and ranks dressed as if for a holi
day parade, returnod to day, but in such
a plight that it was taxiDg credulity to
the utmost to believo that these were
tho same men.
It is impossible to conceive of a more
deplorable spectacle, to say nothing of
the repulsive and harrowing appearance
of dead and wounded bodies; the living
and unwounded men themselves were fit
objects of nothing but compassion. Ex
hausted with fatigue and hunger, fear
and dismay upon every countenance,
with torn clothing, covered with dust
and blood, many without shoes or hats,
they were to be seen in all quarters of
the town, lying upon the pavements, cel
lar doors, or on any other spot that of
fered them a place for the repose which
nature demanded. Many of them had
not their arms, knapsacks, &c., and had
nothing of the appearance of soldiers
left except their besmeared and tattered
uniforms. They did not pretend to ob
serve any order, nor did their officers
seem to exercise the lea3t authority over
them. They went where they pleased,
happy, apparently, that they had escaped
even, if but temporarily, from tho dis
gusting tasks which their leaders had
vainly sought to accomplish by their
hands.
The inhabitants of this city, who, when
these soldiers were here in all their arro
gance and pride, had refused to counten
ance them or to treat them otherwise
than as intruders and enemies, were now
touched with compassion at their altered
condition. Food was freely served to
them from their houses. Some of the
more exhausted and wearied were taken
in and cared for, and drink aud refresh
ments were sent to them by the servants
of men and women whom they had come
to despoil. The Virginia heart opeued
itself to the distresses of those whom it
refused to countenance when they came
to demand permission, and impose terms
at the point of the bayonet.
The Washington Star says :
The scene on all the roads leading to
tho Long Bridge yesterday, beggars de
scription. Artillery and infantry were
straggling along iu tho greatest confu
sion, the men completely broken down
for the want of food and sleep, and by
the fatigues of a long march. Regiments
and companies were mixed in inextri
cable confusion in most cases; but occa
sionally a column oi one, two, three or
four regiments would come along in per
fect order. Stragglers were stopped at
Fort Runyon for some time, and at that
point the scene was painful.
The men cauie in jaded and tired, and
sitting or lying down in the pelting rain,
only protected by blankets-or oil cloths,
were fast asleep in a moment after asssu
ming a recumbent position. Many of
the officers and artillerymen would fall
asleep on theirhorses. The want of food
was almost forgotten, although many o
them had been fating for 24 hours.
Lieut. Watson, of the Commissary De
partment, distributed a large quantity of
provisions from the store house at Fort
Runyon to the famished troops through
out the day. _
A Richmond correspondent of the Pe
tersburg Express, says the lion. Mr. Ely,
from the notoriously Black Republican
Rochester, New York, District, is said to
be deeply distressed at bis condition. He
feels greatly humiliated, and sheds tears
copiously all the day through. He has
been consoled with the reflection that
not a hair of his head will be touched, if
Colonel Thomas, of Maryland, who
is now confined in Fort McHenry, is not
punished. But if Col. T. should be hung,
as Lincoln threatens he shall be, Mr. Ely
will have to perform on tho slack rope.
