Ferrous recoiling private dispatcher rela

confer a great favor on us, as well as tin* pub
lic generally, by handing them to us for publi

Our Oreateat Danger.
Very few mental constitutions can
maintain their equilibrium under a pro
tracted run of what the world calls “good
luck.” This is fully exemplified among
individuals of all grades and classes, in
the every day transactions of life. In
stances are too common, and will occur
too readily to the mind of ordinary cx
perience, to require enumeration. The
aamo is true of men in their collective
capacity. A nation is but an aggregate
of individuals, swayed by the 6atne pas
sions and incited to action by the same
petty jealousies, as men in their individ
ual capaoity.
In the system of government adopted
in this country, where every man feels
himself a sovereign, and possesses an
inalienable right to do all in his power
to alter or abolish institutions, and set up
new ones in accordance with his individ
ual conviotions of duty or consideration
of self-interest, instability a peculiar
characteristic. Suok a political person
age is very liablo to lose its mental equi
librium under the protracted favor of
Heaven, when Us wealth and nation
al greatness oxceeds its moral and inlel
lectual development. Such has proved
to he the case with tho once United States,
and we make no scruple in saying that
we regard this as our greatest probable
danger in tho future.
The Confederate States have beon Bore
ly chastised—have been at the very brink
of ruin—and an unconditional recanta
tion of tho long and ardently cherished
principles of self government or abject
thraldom, as humiliating as it appeared
imminent, for some time seemed our inev
itable doom, llut through tbo favor of Bi
vino Benificenco, thoso dark forebodings
have beon dispelled, and wo now appear
to be rapidly gaining a position of secu
rity from which we can diotate to our en
emies our own terms of pcaoo. And yet,
unless wo have fully appreciated the
magnitude of our danger, and have prop
or conceptions of the importance of uni
ted and harmonious action in future, wo
havo only delayed, and not diverted tho
stroke which was intended for our ruin.
Indeed wo sometimes fear that thcro
is loss patriotism among those with us
who essay to represent the people iu
publio alTairs, than wo would fain boliove
Already do wo begin to perceive tho out
croppings of old political organizations
and party cliques, while the terrible con
vulsion is oven yet going on. Men ore
not (infrequently nominated as candi
dates for office by reason of their alliauco
with somo defunct party organization,
and it is deeply humiliating to observe
legislators, who ought to have tho good
of tho people whom they represent at
heart, framing bills aud wording resolu
tions so as to givo no offence to sticklers
and demagogues, whoso constant cave
soeins to be to gather up tho fragments
and obtuse theories of obsolete party
platforms and set thonißelves up as ob
j ects of party adulation. Disguise it as
we may, thore still lurks in our midst, a
deep undor-curront of party spirit, not
because thero are any practical issues at
stake, or beoause tho self respect of any
partisan would bo oompromutod by the
entire abandonment of tho contemptiblo
strife, but becauso men of little miuds
are looking to tho future, aud beginning
tocast about them fora breeze whereby
they may chance to be wafted into posi
tion. Our only romedy for this disgrace
ful nuisance lies in the virtue of the
people, and public sentiment should be
united in frowning it out of existence.
Unless this is done, there is trouble
ahead. The very terms of the treaty of
peaee—lot it come soon or late—will l>e
framed with reference to party platforms,
and honco will arise infinite disputes
among ourselves, unless this demon of
discord be at onoe ignored and spurned
from our national councils.
Bail Kyes.
Braggadocio Gen. l'ope, says the Grena
Ja Appeal, is evidently ntllieted with de
fective eyesight. In his first grandilo
quent address to his soldiers in Virginia,
lie declared that he had never been able
to see anything but the backs of the ene
my in the West.
Again, on the 29th of last month he
telegraphed to Halleck, after tho day’s
fight was over, that he had Jackson in
such a position that ho did not tee how
he could get away without great loss.
Still again, on the 30th, he telegraphs
to llallcck: “Tho uews just reaches me
from the front that tho enemy is retreat
ing toward the mountains Igo forward
immediately to see.”
Incident.
It is said, after General Smith led tho
gallant charge, which is mentioned, he
came riding by the Arkansas “boys,”
when one of their number, not knowing
tho rank of the General, but supposing
him to bo an officer of one of the regi
ments, and recognizing him as the hero
who led the charge, cried out, “three
cheers for old spectacles’’! Three tre
mendous cheers were given, when the
General raised his cap, enjoying the fun
greatly, as well as the mistake of the
man, who of course meant to compliment
tho General, but was ignorant of his
name.

Ilectpes for ranking Bread, , j
from Rice Flour.
Russell County, Ala., Sept. Bth.
F.ds. Sun : I read an article la one of
your papers lately in which recipes for j
making different kinds of bread with
rice flour, were enquired for, and having i
a fen that 1 think will be found very \
rood, I tend them to you. they were j
printed .n Charleston, S. C-, several j
years ago. Respectfully,
Elizabeth B. Lewis.
To make Loaf Rice Bread. —Boi! a j
pint of rice soft, add a pint of leaven, |
then three quarts of rice flour, put it to ;
rise in a tin or earthen vessel, until it
has risen sufficiently ; divide it into three
parts and hake it as other bread, and
you will have three large loaves. Or
scald the flour, and when cold, mix half
wheat flour or corn meal, raised with
leaven in tho usual way.
A noth e it. — One quart of rice flour—
make it into a stiff pap, by wetting with
warm water, not so hot ua to maka it
lumpy, when well wet add boiling water,
as much as two or three quarts, stir it
continually until it boils ; put in I pint
of yeaßt when it cools, and a little salt,
knead in as much wheat flour as will
make it a proper dough for bread, put
it to rise, and when liscn add a little
mote wheat flour—let it stand in a
warm place half an hour, and bake it.
This same mixture only made thinner
and baked in rings make excellent muf
fins.
Journey or Jonny Cake. —To three
spoonsful of soft boiled rice, add a small
tea cup of water or milk, then add six
spoonsful of the rice Hour, which will
make a largo Jonny cake, or six watlles.
Rice Cakes. —Take a pint of soft
boiled rice, a half pint of milk or water,
to which add twelve spoonsful of the
rice flour, divide it iuto small cakes and
bake them in a brick oven.
Rice Cakes like Buckwheat Cakes.
—Mix one-fourth wheat flour to threo
fourlho Huperfino rico flour, aud raiso it
»3 buckwheat flour : bake it like buok
wkeat cakes.
To make Wafers — Take a pint of
warm water, a teaspoonful of salt, add a
pint of tho flour and it will give you two
dozen wafers.
To make Rice Puffs —To a pint of
the flour, add a toaspoonful of salt, a pint
of boiling water, beat up four eggs, stir
them woll together, put from 2 to 3
spoonsful of lard in a pan, make it boil
ing hot and fry as you do common frit
ters.
To make a Rice Pudding. —Take a
quart of milk, add a pint of the flour,
boil them to a pap, bcut up six eggs, to
which add six spoonsful of Havana sugar,
and a spoonful of buttor, which, when
well beaten together, add to the milk and
flour, grease tho pan it is to bo baked in,
grate nutmeg over the mixturo and bake
it.
Rice Flour Sponge Cake. —Made like
sponge cake except that you uae i| of a
pound of rico flour, thirteen eggs, leav
ing out four whites and add a little salt.
Rice Flour Blanc Mange. —Boil one
quart of milk, season it to your tasto
with sugar anil rose water, take 4 table
spoonsful of the rice flour, mix it very
smooth with cold milk, add this to tho
other milk while it is boiling, stirring it
well. Let all boil together about fiftnnn
laimiccs, sttrrtng occasionally, then pour
it into moulds and put it by to cool. This
is a very favorite articlo for invalids.
Rice Griddle Cakes. —Boil one largo
cup of wholo rice quite soft, iu milk, and
while hot stir in a little wheat flour or
rice flour, when cold add 2 eggs, and a
little salt, bake in small thin cakes on
tho griddle.
In every case in making rico flour
bread, cake or pudding, a woll boiled
pap should bo first mado of all the milk
and water and half tho flour, and allowed
to get perfectly cold before the other
ingredients are added. It forms a sup
port for them and prevents the flour from
settling at the bottom, stir the wholo a
moment before it is set to cook
Feeling and Movements of the Fe«l
ernts nt Memphis,
Every movement of tho invadors at
Memphis continues to indicato that they
consider their occupation of (he city
uncertain, nnd so decidedly so that many
“lookers on” do not hesitate to express
the opinion that they are preparing to
evacuate. Others again express tho
opinion—which is the most probable—
that knowing their weakness, they are
prepared, or are preparing, for an emer
gency they feel will be forced upon them
should our troops mako an attack. As
Las been tho case for some time, their
supplies kept on hand aro limited; and
their force has becomo so weak that in
order to keep up an appearance of
strength, ono gentleman assures us they
marched out a brigade on one of the
toads leading from the city on Saturday
morning, and back againjby a different
route iu the evening, giving out that the
latter movement was an arrival of rein
forcements, and hoping thereby to de
ceive us to their real strength.
Work upon the fortifications has beon
suspended, for which no reason was as
signed. Our informant—a lady—could
give uo information as to what disposi
tion was made of the negro laborers.
The city was being thoroughly search
ed, and all tho old iron taken posscssieu
of and removed.
The news of tho battle on Thursday
last, which reached the city on Sunday,
caused the greatest depression, amount
ing almost to a panic among them, and
their disappointment at such a result
was manifested in various ways. The
evident joy of the friends of the South
drew many a scowl from the officers and
soldiers, and in many instances tho lat
ter were particularly abusive. On the
whole the occupation of the city has not
proven ns profitable or pleasant to our
enemies as they anticipated.— Grenada
Appeal\ 4th.
Small Pox.
Reports of small pox in Coweta coun
ty, in this State, are still prevalent.
The Atlanta Intelligencer, of yesterday,
publishes an extract from a private let
ter front a gentleman ia that county,
6tating that many reports were current,
but that it was not certain that it had
broken out in but one family. Every
body would do well to vaccinate.
Boys, if you don’t want to fall in love,
keep away from muslin. You can no
more play with those girls without los
ing your heart, than you can play with
gamblers without losing your money.—
The heart string of a woman, like the
tendrils of a vine, are always reaching
out for something to cling to. Tho con«
sequence is, that before you arc ‘going*
you are ‘gone,’ like a lot at anetion.
A Fdtnre Pellcy Predict®*!.
We have never doubted but that Lin
coln would, soon as he had the new levies
collected, take the position of the ultras
of the North, and endeavor to crush the
rebellion by arming the slaves. To have
declared this policy would have preven
ts 1 tho conservatives from enlisting, hut
once under control of the government,
a , very many thousands of them soon
will bo, they will be forced to sustain a
p iicy they abhor and entirely at variance
v;iiii their political opinions. The Goril
la has not abandoned his principles—
they have only been cast aside for a pur
pose that will soon be apparent.
The truth is his administration is now
preparing to movo. B o have rec n ntly
ha-1 a report from Washington that a pro
position to issue a pri,< ’amatiou declar
ing a general emancip ii it of slavery,
has been and is now bes. i he Cabinet.
The result of the first disco --ion was the
postponement of the subject, it was as
serted, in consequence of the opposition
of Seward and Blair. This reason is a
shallow one. The postponement was for
effect—the two Secretaries named being
as much abolitionists as their peers. It
was only put off until a more convenient
season ; in other words, until every man
is got into the field who can be duped to
believe that a oonf !a rvafive policy will be
pursued.
This will be the first step. Following
it will be the effort to create a servile
insurrection. On this point the New
York Tribune of the 29th has a leader
declaring that “the real significance of
Seward’s lately published dispatch to
Charles F. Adams, lies in the intimation
that if we do not otherwise succeed in
putting down the rebellion, we will not
hesitate to enlist the whole slave popu
lation of tbo South as armed combatants
on our side.” And tho Chicago Tribune
says that “aside from Seward’s letter,
and from Greeley’s interpretation of it,
there arc other facts that warrant the be
lief that the administration has been de
liberating on the probability and neces
sity of adopting such a course as would
ultimately result, unless the rebels speed
ily laid down their arms and sought for
an amnesty, in the most fearful servile
insurrection the world has ever seen.”
Everything indicates that to such a
feast wo will be invited so soon as Lin
coln thinks he cau safely prepare it. It
is in accordance with his own principles.
It is the foundation of tho party that
elevated him. The leaders are becoming
clamorous and will not be satisfied until
the deed is done. In the meantime wo
would be unwise to remain idle. The
blow may be struck at any moment—
certainly will be before long. “Fore
warned is to bo forearmed.” Let us be
prepared to avert the danger threatened,
and at once force the contest, as we soon
can, back, if not into the enemy’s coun
try, at least to its borders. Let the suf
ferings be felt by those who would make
us suffer. Let us keep the danger from
our homes —Grenada Appeal.

At the great war meeting in Boston,
John C. Fremont made a speech, in which
he said :
The Unionists of the North had made
sacrifices in giving their liven and those
whom they hold most dear to them Such
losses could never bo repaid So he be
lieved the Unionists of the South would
be ready to make sacrifices. It was his
belief, howevu - , that there wa3 not so
many Unionists at the South as had beon
supposed and the number is decreasing.
The dangers of their position and the
uncertainty of thß success of the Gov
ernment had produced this unanimity.
In the whole valley of Virginia thero was
not a Union man, and he was certain, not
a Union woman. With them it was now
only a question as to the manner of sep
aration.
The Northern people did not realize
how long the Southern people have been

belief that they were fighting for their
liberties.
Tlie Affair at Kienzi.
The official report of Col. Faulkner,
commanding partisan rangers, which has
been received at headquat ters, puts his
late skirmish at Rienzi in a more favora

of the Mississippian, writing on tha 30th
ult., says:
The Colonel reports that his command,
numbering 300, was divided by him in
two parties for the purpose of coming on
Rienza in tho front aud flank. Tha par
ty under command of Capt. Harris
charged the Fedcrals, who broke and fled
ia every direction, while wo killed sever
al in this charge and captured six. Tho
Yankees were pursued through the streets
of the town aud into their camp, through
which our guerrillas dashed, killing two
commissioned officers, and hero put a
whole regiment, to inglorious flight, and
killed two privates as they ran through
the woods on tho ekirts of the town
Having accomplished all that was desir
ed, Col. Faulkner ordered a retreat, and
was surrounded and hotly pursued
by a large body of the enemy, but suc
ceeded in making his escape with the loss
of only one man. Tho loss of the enemy
is estimated at 30. Tho affair was dash
ing and reckless in tho extreme, aud it
is marvelous how few men were lost on
tho side of the guerrillas.

We are pleased to learn that the appoint

firmed by the Senate last Tuesday. His ap
pointment was sent in to that body by the
President last Spring, at the heel of the ses

Incident.
One day last week the child of a widow lady
of our city died, and the City Sexton was di
rected by parties to prepare a coffin, &c., and
have the child properly and decently buried
Iu the afternoon, and at the appointed time
for the burial, and after the Minister had ful
filled the sacred duties of his office, old Jake,
first assistant Sexton, drove up the hearse for
the body, but there was no attendant friends
to take charge of the body; while Jake’s mod
esty and retiring manners forbid his attempt
ing such duties; it, therefore, fell upon the
minister to place the little body in tho coffin,
screw down the lid, and, aided by a couple of
little boys, placed the corpse in the hearse.—
The train moved off to the burying ground
where it arrived in due, time apparently much
to the relief of Jake, who was driving.the blind
horse, pulling the hearse. After reigning his
blind charger up along side the grave, Jake
was taken with a sudden strong desire to have
the principle Sexton, Mr. Harris, present. So
leaving the Parson, the mother and the little
boys, at the grave, and the coffin in the hearse,
he put out on a “wild hunt” after the principal
Sexton. The Parson waited until patience had
ceased to be a virtue, and prepared to lower
tho body into tlie grave. Before doing so, how
ever, he took the precaution to measure the
grave and the coffin, and found the former too
short to admit the latter. Nothing daunted,
the Parson, who had become used to such
scenes, laid hold of the shovel and went heart
ily to work enlarging the grave. In the mean
time tho blind horse, doubtless supposing his
duties ended, moved off towards the brick
wall, at the Southwest comer of tho Cemetery,
the top of which is some six or eight feet
above the rail road track on the outside and
level with the street inside. The Parson see
ing the herso moving off in that direction call
ed to him to whoa! but “blindey” wouldn’t
whoa! and before he could be reached by the
Parson and boys, who left the corpse in the
sun by the side of tho grave, he went over the
wall head-foremost, and the hearse on top of
him. At this juncture of affairs Mr. Harris, tho
principal Sexton, with Jake, first assistant Sex
ton, close after him, reached (he scene of dis
aster and, with the aid of the Parson, succeed
ed in extricating “blindey” from his critical
situation. From what we have learned, there
wus “nobody hurt.” The principal Sexton,
aided by his assistant and tlie little boys, re
lieved tlie Parson from further duties, in the
Sexton’s line, and buried tho widow’s son.
