Letter from Montgomery.
Montgomery, April 9:b, 18G5.
Gen. Baylor, congressman from Texas,
slates that Gcrt. Ivirby Smith has been
instructed to adopt, as his judgement may
deem best, to either attack New Orleans,
cross tho Mississippi river to this side,
or movo into Missouri. The General
thinks (he last suggestion will be adopted.
The Mississippi cannot well be crossed.
Geu. Taylor tried this two monllis last
year without success. If our army, which
is generally thought to bo 30,000 dfect
ive tncu, can march into Missouri at tffo
right season of Iho yoar it will require a
great effort by tho Fedorals to dislodge
him. It will be a powerful diversion in
favor of Gen. Lee. It is supposed tho
movement is now-being effected. There
are no dangers of Texas being invaded.
There tue lew strtams there, at times
there arc severe di oughts, and subsistence
often precarious—would especially be so
to an invading army. The other Stales
would Jt j defended. hPcnusH. Ilw wluJn
Force or me would bo occupied
with Gen. femith.
Ail regret the fall of Bictiinond, but
approve the measuto. Judge Chilton
says it ought to have been done long ago.
Tho measure will add strength lo tho ar
my. People litre—those of the right
stamp, and they are a decided majority
—are strongly hopeful.
Gen. Forrest reports tho enemy ilillin
Selma. Major Gen. Joe. Wilson is in
command. Forrest is watching them
closely. Cavalry from hero have gone
down to watch movements from this side.
Monfcvallo has been garrisoetd by the
enemy. They have carried off all stock
and negroes. There are no Yankees
near Talladega.
A flag cf truce the other day was sent
to Selma to get away from tho place, the
wife of Brig. Geu. Adams. Near Ben
ton they met about t wenty fuur Confeder
ate scouts in full flight who reported a
large body of Federals pursuing them.
Farther on ihree Yankee cavalrymen
were met who were hugely enjoying
the sport cf running eight times their
number of rebels. This was doubtless
the parly that produce 1 such a scare at
Benton and in Montgomery. Going on
the party were met by Captains Williams
and DeHaven of Gen. Wilson’s stajf. The
flag wss not allowed to visit Selma, but
was received on this side. Wtiwa dc
dined at present to send Mrs. Adams
through the linc3, hut assured the party
that she would bo trcatcl wi;h Ibc ut

sail he was preparing for them, whore,
upon he sent over lunch, cigars, &c , for
them.

minister, and Mr. Williams of the Re
porter, and three or four other citizens
of Selma are reported lo have been
killed in the trenches.
In Selma half of the Qoldsby block

hotter from “Iter.”
Barbour County, Ala., April 5.
Within tho Inst week we have had any
number of sensational rumors. Tbo ill
effect which these rumors produce, is to
lull the people into a false security.—
They becomo so a&ustouicd to tbo cry of
“wolf,” by which they itave been <b«*eiv
cd so often that tliey distegerd it when
tbe wolf actually does come. 1 f llie pco«
plo of tho lower counties of Alabama will
only turn out with the same alacrity and
promptitude that the Floridians did, they
can repel any raiding force likely to be
Bent against them soon. Taking the vote
cast for Justices of the Peaco and Con
stables, on tho first Monday in March as
an indication of the men yet in the ccuns
try capablo of bearing arras in an emer
gency, and it is a fair index, for there
aro now voting : boy3 who can fight,
enough to make up for the very old voters
who cannot fight. Alabama can yet raise
a considerable body of troops for her own
defense, and to punish marauders. If tho
people only determine to do their duty,
nothing less than a well organized brig
ade of tho enemy can eTer accomplish
the fear of marching through this part
of the Stale with impunity.
That the enemy will try to make raids
into every part of the country this sum
mer, is a fact that wo may as well accept
at once, and prepare, as best wo can, to
repulse him and protect ourselves.
Senator Hill addressed the people of
Eufatria, on Monday, in a Bpecch eulo
gistic of President Itavis. Front thence
ho went to Cuthbcrt, where it may be pte
surned Governor Brown came in for a full
share of denunciation. It is likely you
. will havo » s uivns9 in Ceorgia
this summer, 'in which a good deal of as
perity and personal denunciation will be
indulged without much stint. This is to
be regretted. It is no timo to indulge in
criminations and re-criminations.
The attempt to visit Governor Brown
with unqualified condemnation for his
opposition lo certain acts of the Confed
erate administration, will fall short of
its aim. lie will resent the attempt, and
then division and serious consequences
may follow. lam not tho apologist of
Gov. Brown. 1 do not even admite him
and never did. But a public man should
bo allowed to differ with certain acts of
other public men, without subjecting him
to the anathemas and denunciations of
those who do not think as he docs. An
honest difference of opinion needs no
apology to be tolerated.
ITER,.
Economy in Linen Washing.—
After many experiments made by
myself and others I find that pipe-clay
dissolved among the water employed
in washing, gives tho dirtiest linen
tlie appearance of having been bleach
ed and cleanses them thoroughly with
about half the labor and fully a saving
adopted was to dissolve a little of the
pipe-clay among the warm water in a
washing tub, or rub a little of it
together with the soap or the article
to be washed. The process was re
peated as often as required, until the
article washed was made thoroughly
clean. All who have tried the ex
periment have agreed that tho saving
in soap and labor is great, and the
clothes arc improved in color equally
as if they were bleached. The pecu
liar advantage of employing this
article with the soap, is that it gives
the hardest water almost the softness
of pure water.—Dundee paper(Seot
land.)
Pipe clay and fullcr’tj earth, both
of which are fine clays, free from any
coarse gritty matters, have long been
used by the woolen manufacturers in
scouring and removing grease from
their fabrics. Their use as detergents
arises from the affinity aluminous
earths have for oils and grease of all
kinds. The economy of these sub
stances in cleansing having been
long since settled in large, factories
and cleansing establishments, they
will doubtless be equally useful .in
washing upon a smaller scale, espe
cially as soap is now so expensive and
difficult to obtain.
Bbaoo and Forrest. —The Augusta
correspondent of the Macon Confederacy
says:
- We have no doubt, that if Forrest had
been placed in command of the troops of
that department in which Selma is situ
ated, and if left to his will untrummelcd,
the Yankees would never have succeeded
in getting to that very important city.
1 remember at this moment a certain
council of war, in which it waa proposed
to place him in command of cavalry on a
certain field. The General presiding
asked snetringly: “Can we trust him,
or rather, should we trust him Time

the question, is the greatest ass that ever
ruined the prospects: of a revolution.—

A Cold BfeniKLLow —“An Irishman,
abouthalf teas over, poitto time bineo, ap
pliotl at a oountry tavern for lodgings.
Tho landlord was lazy, aud patronized
his own bar most extensively, so he said
to the now-comer :
‘lf 1 give you a light, aud tell you
whore tho room is, do you supposo you
can find Ihc place V.
‘Oclt, and U’s tucsclf Ihnt can do that
most Elegantly. Just show me Ihc way,
and 1 11 find it as atsy as llto Holy Virgin
showers down blessings upon the sinful,’
rejoined the Irishman. .
The directions vjcrc given him, aud
also a candle ; ho was directed to go to a
room on tho seaoud fioor in tho ltuuso.
By tho timo ho had reached tho top of
tho stairs, his light had become extin
guished, and ho bad forgotten in what
direction ho was to g>. Seeing rays of
light issuing front a loom, Ihc. door of
which stood slightly t j .v, "he rcconnoi
tered tho inside of tho room, and found
it to contain a bed. on which lay a man,
and a Bland, with a small lighted lamp
upon it.. Feeling disinclined to make
any tun Iter search for tho room to which
he had becu directed, he divested himself
of his clothing, and quietly crept into
bod.
lie had been in bed but n few moments
when a yottg latly, and goatlcman enter
ed the room. Tho Irishman eyed them
closely. They seated themsebvfis on the
chairs, in clote proximity to each other,
and, after chatting merrily for a short
time, (lie young man threw his arms
around Iter waist, in a viry cousinly
manner, and imprinted a kiss upon her
tempting lips. The scene amused the
Irishman vastly, and, being free from
selfishness, aud concluding tbit, his
sleeping companion should tie a partici
pant with him in the enjoyment of the
scene, nudged hint, but his sleeping com
pauion stirred not. lie put his hand
upon bint, and found that be was tightly
locked in the embrace of death. Ey
nonymun with this discovery, he bounded
out of bed, exclaiming:
‘Murthor ! murlher ! llowly salntß
of lnvcn protect mot’
lie bad scarcely touched tho fioor with
his feet, before the young lady, and
gentleman vero making rapid strides
towards (he stairway, terror being do
piclcd on their countenances. They
had just reached the top of the stairs,
whoa tho Irishman ctrnt dashing along
as though tho hands of Erebus were close
at his heels, intent on malting him their
prey, aud tho whole three went tumbling
down the stairs, and it is Irard to deter
mine which of the threo reached the foot
of tho Btairs first.
Tho landlord stood aghast, as the
Irishman rusbed into tho bar room,
with nothing between him and nudity
but. a garment vulgttly called a shirt,
the hair of his head standing upon end,
his eye-balls ready to leap from thoir
sockets, and ho gU3piug for breath. It
was a sight that would have made a man
laugh who bad worn a vinegar face from
tho day of lm birth. Nothing could
induce him to again seek a bod that
night.
When the young Indy, nud gentleman
found that it writs not the corpse that had
so unceremoniously hounded from ttic bed
they returned to (lie room, they being
watchers for tho night, aud doubtless
commenced their courting at the point
where it had so suddenly boon broken
off.”
Tun Secret of Military S'*PC«a»—
History proves tho truth of the Iliblo,
that tho battle is not always to the strong.
From tho earliest records of history to
the present day, the smallest number
has won at least three battles out ot five.
Success, in war, depends on efficient
orgmiz ition, steady discipline, courage
and endurance. Few men have over
possessed the capacity tu establish theso
things in a largo army.
Tho Roman Legion numbered 8,000
men—a circular army about. 13,000
With this force (hey cocquored the world.
A French corps and urmeo composes 20,000
men. Napoleon was in the habit of
saying ho could not. find a marshal who
could handle that number. Tho Athe
nians, with 10,000 men, defeated the
Bcrsians at Marathon with 300,000, and
with less than three limes that number
won the battles,,of Plato.t and Salitmis,
and drove five millions of invaders from
their soil. With 500-men, the Swiss, at
Morgarlccu, defeated 20,000 Austrians,
with an e qually dißproportorafe force they
fought sixty pitched battles and main
tained their independence.
Bruce defeated Edward of England
with his trained army of 100,0000 at Ban
nockburn, with 30,000 half armed High
landers.
The Prince of Orange at the lnnd ot
oovoi-ui jifoviacet- of Holland,^’not
one of them tin per tb io *Vi, s ,ni« o«u»iy
maintained their incopeiidenco against
the most pow.-t ful mount ch in Europe,
and dofealeu mum a t !:!•*■ limes as
numc-ctu ns lit owe, and commanded
by Juuu, of A.: : ..a, and Alexander
Farncse, the grea’mti military tenders of
tlio age.
Leyden withstood toe whoti- j.- wer of
Spain, at that time tho most wnr’ifee
nations in Europe. Maxintiliiu of
Germany, Louis XII rs Franco, and
Pope Julius 11, formed ta infamous
league ofCambray, for the destruction of
Venice, With heroic resolve ."ho entered
the field. Superior forco might have over
powered her, but God is ever on the side
of the right. Discoid and dissension
broko out among her enemies Their
armies wore defeated, and Venice was
preserved.
It will ever Itc so. The success of a
gallantuU'Ugglo on the nid<:V>i' right and
justice, against wrong and oppression, is
inevitable. A virtuous and a bravo
people in a good cause have never failed,
if we aro right and do not falter, we
must, i iicaeed.
Cjiadi.es,— “Jim 1) , who had be
come a v.-ilary i,> -p.aec, Inis, returned
home in.e night, in tin iitLcrine liatc slate
of booziness—that is to say, be was
comfortably drunk, but pf-rfeelty con
scious of his uufortunate situation.
Knowing that his wife was asleep, ho
decided to attempt gaining ids bed with
out disturbing her, and af-er ruminating,
a few moments, ou the matter, he thought
if he could reach the bed post, an 1 hold
on to that, while he slipped off his ap
parel, the feat would be easily accom
plished. Unfortunate’y for his scheme,
a cradle stood in a direct line with the
bed post about the middle of the floor.
Os course, when his shins camo in con
tact with the aforesaid piece of furniture,
he pitched over it, with perfect loose
ness; and upon gaining an erect posi
tion, ere an equilibrium was cetabbched,
ha went over it backwards, in an
equally summary manner. Again ha
struggled to his feet, and fell, foremost
ever the bower of infant happiness. At
length, with the fifth fall, his patience
became exhausted, and tho obstacle was
yet to be overcome. In desperation, ho
cried out to his sleeping partner :
“Mary, in God’s name, how many
cradles have you got in this house ? I
have tumbled over live already, and I’ll
be damned if there isn’t another.’”

Tiie Game of Chess. — Chess is
said to Lave boon invented by a Drali
min, for tho pnrpot'C of reformin'/ an
Indian King; bat instructed
those who hud bofore lmn, lie
was sensible hip lesson would not
prove of any service until tire print*
should llxuke the application of it to
himself, and not think it was done
by another': With this view he in
vented the {fame of chess, where the
king, though the most considerable
of nil the pieces, is impotent to at
tack, as well ns to defend himself
against his enemies, without the as
sistance of subjects and soldiers.—
Tho game became f imous; the king
would learn it; the Brahmin was
pitched upon to teach it to him, and
under the pretense of. explaining to
him the rules of the game, and show
ing him the skill required to mako
use of the other pieces for the king’s
defence, he made him perceive truths
which lie hud hitherto refused to
hear. He made an upplication him
self of tho Brahmin’s lessons, and
now, conviuced that in the. people’s
Jove of their king consisted all •of Ws
strength, he altered his conduct, aud
by that prevented the misfortunes
that threatened him.
The Brahmin was left to tho choice
of his reward, and he desired that tho
number of grains of corn which the
number of squares on the chess board
should produce might be given him,
one for the first, lour lbr the second,
:.iN for the third, and so on, doubling
always to the sixty-fourth. But when
t.lio calculation was made, it was
found that the king had engaged him
self in a grant, for the performance
of which neither all his treasures nor
his- vast dominions were sufficient.
The Brahmin laid hold of this oppor-
I tunity to convince him of what im
portance it was for kings to he on
their guard against those who arc
always about them.
From India the game passed into
Persia, were it received the name of
schcrtcngi, or game of the king or
shah. Tho piece now called the
queen was the vizier, which was af
terwards corrupted to vierge, virga,
and afterwards to lady or queen.—
This piece, at first, could move only
as the pawns. Tho French gallantry,
it is said, extended the prerogatives
of the lady, and made her the most
considerable picco in the game. The
bishop in India was an elephant.
Tho knight has the same name and
figure every where. The fifth piece,
which we call the castle or rook, was
originally a camel, which they used
in war. Tho pawns, (or common
soldiers,) have suffered no change.
A Singular History. —ln the
year ISRG the city of "Buffalo, New
1 York, contained among its popula
tion a citizen of indefatigable indus
tryand untiring energy.
Whole blocks of capacious ware
houses were erected by him, new
streets were laid out, graded, paved
and lighted upon bis recommendation
and with his assistance, and no public
undertaking was considered sure of
success without the sanction and aid
of this public spirited ’citizen. The
crash of 18R7 came and caused him
to totter.
To sustain his credit for a few days
in an evil hour lie committed a deed
which consigned him to tho State
Prison. Pardoned out, and no inc
radicul stigma, save that inseparable
from raisfortuuc attaching to his name,
lie came to New York city and started
the hotel buisness at the corner of
llroadwny and Courtland streets. Fail
ing in this he went to “ JTong Island’a
seagirt shore” and took the celebrated
Lath House, a summer establish
ment.
Boon disgusted with his luck
there, he left this region of civiliza
tion ultogdhor, and sought tlip soli
tudes of West Virginia as a place of
quiet and rest during the remainder
of his days.
lie settled in what has proved to
be the heart of the West Virginia oil
region—and now thi? unfortunate
yet lucky, this untiring irrepressible
man concludes his strange eventful
history by leaving to his heirs a large
fortune, valued at 11,000,000 of dollars
