COLUMBIA, TI EHDAY. DECEMBER 17, 1861.
Coming to their Senses.
A correspondent of the Boston Courier, writ
ing from Worcester county, Massachusetts, says :
“The war is not popular, even in Worcester
county, and I find the people ready to bring it
to an end by any means consistent with honor
and patriotism.
The trouble with the leaders has been that
they were not far-seeing men. They neither
knew the temper of the South, nor foresaw the
consequences of their policy.
This change of sentiment—if it be a change—
is the result of an examination of the questions
in dispute, and the discovery that the contro
versy could have been settled without a resort to
arms.
The bulk of opinion seerns to be that the Union
is dissolved for a time; that the Gulf States,
(their subjugation being admitted to be entirely
out of the question,) will not come back for
the present. Men who voted for Lincoln say
this; and it is painful to hear gentlemen confess
their willingness to ‘let them slide.’ Among
those who are in the sliding mood, are many who
own the great factories which loom up all thro’
the towns of this country, conspicuous as the
churches, and just now quite as silent as on days
not given to labor. The owners of these facto
ries found their chief market at the South. I
find every where a distrust of the future, and a
fear of poverty and long suffering.
Bouaty for Re-enlistment.
The following are the provisions of the bill
recently passed by the Provisional Congress, and
approved by the President, granting bounty and
furloughs to privates, musicians and non-com
missioned officers in the Provisional Army:
Sec. 1. The Congress of the Confederate
States of America do enact: That a bounty of
fifty dollars be, and the same is hereby, granted
to all privates, musicians, and non-commission
ed officers in the Provisional army who shall
serve continuously for three years or for the war
to be paid at the following times, % to-wit: To all
now in the service for twelve months to be paid
at time of volunteering or enlisting for the next
two ensuing years subsequent to the expiration
of their present term of service. To all nowin
the service for three years or for the war to be
paid at the expiration of their first year’s ser
vice. To all who may hereafter volunteer or en
list for three years or for the war to be paid at
the time of entry into service.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That
furloughs, not exceeding sixty days, with trans
portation home and back, shall be granted to all
twelve months men now in the service who
shall, prior to the expiration of their present
term of service, volunteer or enlist for the next
two ensuing years subsequent to the expiration
of their presont term of service or for three
years of the war; said furloughs to be issued at
such times and in such numbers as the Secre
tary of War may deem most compatible with the
public interest; the length of each furlough be
ing regulated with reference to the distance of
each volunteer from his home: Provided, That
in lieu of a furlough the commutation value in
money of the transportation herein above gran
ted, shall be paid to each private, musician, or
non-commissioned otiieer, who may [elect to re
ceive it, at such time as the furlough itself would
otherwise be granted.
Sec. 3. This act shall apply to all troops who
have volunteered or enlisted for a term of twelve
months or more in the service of any State,who
may hereafter volunteer or enlist in the service
of the Confederate States under the provisions
of the present act.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That all
troops re-volunteering or re-enlisting, shall, at
the expiration of their present term of service,
have the power to reorganize themselves into
companies and elect their company officers, and
said companies shall have the power to organ
ize themselves into battalions or regiments and
elect their field officers; and after the first elec
tion all vacancies shall be filled by promotion
from the company, battalion, or regiment in
which such vacancies may occur: Provided,That
whenever a vacancy shall occur, whether by pro
motion or otherwise, in the lowest grade <sf com
missioned officers of a compiny, said vacancy
shall always be filled by election: And provi
ded further, that in the case of troops which
have been regularly enlisted into the service of
any particular State prior to the formation of
the Confederacy, and which have by such State
been turned over to the Confederate Goverment
the officers shall not be elected, but appointed
and promoted in the same manner and by the
same authority as they have heretofore been ap
pointed and promoted.
The Counties of the North-west.
From a very reliable source in Northwestern
Virginia we have the gratification of recording
that the people iu that portion of the State still
remain, by a vast majority, true to the Common
wealth. The sentiment of loyalty is even in
creasing in strength and universality under the
trials to which it has been subjected. Genuine
patriotism is, indeed, a plant that improves in
quality for being trodden upon. A citizen is
doubly attached to the cause .of his country by
his sufferings in its behalf.
Very inaccurate ideas have been contracted by
some, concerning the people and the resources of
that portion of our State, and they seem hard to
dislodge. The statistics show that for popula
tion and material wealth, we have no more valu
able region ; while its political history has been,
until of late, without blot or blemish. Even
now, despite the defection and treason of men
who, by moral perjury had gained their confi
dence, the people of the North-western counties,
though overrun by the enemy, are, by a great
majority, Virginians still. Witness a few figures:
Barbour county casts about 1600 votes. Out of
this number but 130 votes could be got in favor
of Pierpont's new State. Marion county has
2500 votes; Pierpont’s Government could get
but 300. Harrison county, out of 2500 voters,
yielded Pierpont but 600. Tucker county has
200 voters. Os these five voted for Pierpont's
new State and two against it. The mass of the
people refrained from recognizing Pierpont’s
treasonable Government even so much as to vote
under its pretended laws. — Richmond Enquirer,
13 th.
Important Proclamation.
We publish below the stirring proclamation
of Gov. Johnson of Kentucky, calling for 20
companies of Kentuckians:
To the Young Men of Kentucky'.
By an act of December 4th, 1861, and here
unto appended, I am authorized to receive into
service twenty companies of volunteers, infan
try and cavalry. Every consideration of honor
and duty to our native State must impel you to
respond to this call of a Government which you
yourselves have established for the maintenance
of your constitutional liberty.
Your homes are invaded, your property threat
ened or seized, your families endangered, and
your constitutional system of Government over
whelmed in ruins, by a desperate but determined
faction in the North, who avow through their
Secretary of War, their foreign ministers, and
officers in the field, in the accomplishment of
their fiend.sh purposes, an intention to arm even
our slaves for our destruction.
He is no Kentuckian whose young blood does
not thrill with just indignation as he reads the
deliberate avowals of these enemies of mankind,
who thus assail our domestic securityi our per
sonal liberty, and constitutional Government.
Obey these impulses of your heart and rise up
in arms, that you may share with our soldiers and
allies, now in service, the glory of driving our
enemies from the soil of Kentucky. No human
hand can hereafter wipe from your names the
stain of dishonor, if you fail to render your as
sistance to your country in the hour of her
greatest peril—the matrons and maidens of your
State will hereafter point you out as the cow
ards and poltroons who in the hour of danger
abandoned your country, and marked yourselves
as unworthy of liberty. Young men of Kentucky!
let us hear from you in every county ! For your
life itself can have no charm, when divested of
honor.
EXTRACT FROM GEN. PRICE'S PROCLAMATION.
“ (Strike, till each armed foe expires,
Strike for your altars and your tires,
For the green graves of your sires,
God and your native land.”
The burning fires of patriotism must inspire
and lead you, or all is lost—lost, too, at the mo
ment when all might be forever saved. Num
bers give strength. Numbers intimidate the foe.
Numbers save the necessity, often, of fighting
battles. Numbers make our arms irresistable.
Numbers command universal respect and insure
confidence. We must have men—so,ooo men !
Let the herdsman leave his folds. Let the far
wer leave his fields. Let the mechanic leave his
shop. Let the lawyerdeave his office till re
store the supremacy of law. Let the aspirants
for office and place know that they will be
weighed in the balance of patriotism and may
be found wanting. If there be any craven,
crouching spirits who have not the greatness of
soul to respond to their country’s call for help,
let them stay at home, and let only the brave
and true come out to join their brethren in the
tented field.
Come with supplies of clothing and
if you can procure them. Come with your guns
of any description that can be made U bring
down a foe. If you have no arms, come without
them, and we will supply you qs far as that is
possible. Bring cooking utensils, and rations
for a few weeks. Bring blankets and heavy
shoes, and extra bed-clothing if you have them*
Bring no horses to remain with the army except
those necessary for transportation. W% must
have 5U,000 men. Give me these men, and by
the help of God, I will drive the hireling bands
of thieves and marauders from the ‘State. But
if Missourians fail to rise in their strength, and
avail themselves .of the propitious moment to
strike for .honor and liberty; you cannot say
that we have not done all that we could to save
you.
Y r ou will be advised in time at what point to
report for organization and active service. Leave
your property at home, What if it be taken—
all taken ? We have $200,000,000 worth of
Northern means in 'Missouri which cannot be
removed. When we are once free, the State will
indemnify every citizen who may have lost a
dollar by adhesion to the cause of his country.—
We shall have our property, or its value, with
interest.
But in the name of God a id the attributes of
manhood, let me appeal to you by considerations
infinitely higher than money ! Are we a genera
tion of driveling, sniveling, degraded slaves ?
Or are we men, who dare assert and maintain
the rights which can not be surrendered, and
defend those principles of everlasting rectitude,
pure and high, atfd sacred like God, their author*
Be yours the office to choose between the glorv
of a free country and a just Government, and the
bondage of your children ! I will never see the
chains fastened upon my country. I will ask
for six and-a-half-feet of Missouri’s soil in which
to repose, but will not see my people enslaved!
Do I hear your shouts! Is that your war cry
which echoes through the land ! Are you com
ing ! Fifty thousand men! Missouri shall
move to victory with the tred of a giant! Come
on my brave boys, fifty thousand heroic, gallant,
unconquerable South rn men ! We await your
coming

Lynchburg, Dec. 10.
From a private letter, received at the Repub
lican office, from an officer in the army on the
Potomac, dated yesterday, we leurn that it is
well authenticated at Centreville, that the roads
between Fairfax Court House and Alexandria
and Washington are being blockaded by the
Yankees, in such manner as to lead to the belief
that they do not contemplate an advance any
time soon, and, indeed, believed that they
are fearful of advance on our part. Hence they
are blockading the roads in order to throw im
pediments in the way of an attack from our
army. Everything remains perfectly q iet in
that region.

. A Maryland Regiment Deserting Lincoln.
—We received intelligence through an offioer
attached to Gen. Clark’s stall', who arrived here
last night by the Orange and Alexandria train
from Centreville, that an entire Maryland Regi
ment had deserted Lincoln’s army, bringing with
them their arms and equipments.
Our informant says he saw them at Centre
ville before he left there yesterday.
Since writing the above we have received infor
mation from another reliable source corrobora
ting the above. The particulars of the deser
tion were these: The regiment was sent out on
picket from Alexandria, and when they reached
the front of our lines they hoisted the Confede
rate flag and marched into Centreville. They
were accompanied by their Colonel and all the
officers of the regiment. —Lynchburg Virginian,
Dec. 12th. *
The Louisville “ Democrat,’’ is severely exer
cised, and vents its spleen frantically on Came
ron. It says:
Shame on such a Secretary! Let him go and
hide himself in some abolition conventicle, and
spout his savageism to fanatical old men in petti
coats, and old women in breeches, and not talk
to white men who are able to save their own
government.
The administration owes it to itself to get rid
of Cameron. Down this way we understand
Cameron. He is supplying ammunition to the
enemy. His speeches are contraband articles.
They are worse than powder and balls furnish
ed the Confederates. Let’s have no more of him.
General Fremont attended service at
Henry Ward Beecher’s church on Sunday, and
the congregation rose en masse as the General
and Captain Jesse entered. Mr. Beecher treated
them to a characteristic disco uise on ‘greatness/
After the service the people made a rush for the
General’s pew and detained him half an hour
with hand- shaking, and when he was seated in
his carriage at the church door, they crowded
the street and gave him three cheers.
Could such a scene occur in any other church !
The Kentucky Campaign. —ln the absence
of fighting generalship in Kentucky, an effort
has been made to get up a sufficient mortality
list by forced marches and exposure. The Duke
of Wellington once said, “others might know
how to fight an army, but he knew how to feej
one.’’ Our Generals in Kentucky, however, seem
to show that if their capacity does not reach the
fighting point, they can use up their troops quite
as rapidly as battles would.
The retreat from London was a fitting finale to
Gen. Sherman’s Administration in Kentucky,
which wasted the most favorable campaign
months by incompetency, and closed with a re
treat of one column, which, except that there
was no enemy, had all the features and disasters
of a rout in suffering, loss and demoralization of
the men —Cincinnati Gazette 21s*.
News from Port Royal Ferry. —There ap
pears to be some misapprehension in relation to
the movements of the enemy. We learn from a
friend who left the place on the 11th, that the
enemy had not attempted a landing on the main.
On the night of the 9th some few of their num
ber cr >ssed over to the Ferry under cover of their
artillery, and set fire to a sentinel box. They
also seized a ferry boat and then retreated
rapidly. Col. Dunnovant’s and Colonel Jones’
Regiments made preparations to attack them had
they ventured beyond reach of their boats.J
Our forces are well posted at the Ferry, and
the enemy in force on the other side of Coosaw
river.— Charleston Courier 14 th.
It is understood, says the Southern Record
er, that the Banks of Georgia will advance
eight millions of dollars, if so much should be
required, to enable the State to pay the Con*
federate tax, and to defray the charges of her
own defense—the former being estimated at
about $3,000,000.
Baltimore & Ohio R. R.—A Darnestown

been torn up.
Salt Monster and Bacon Cnrer.
Bacon Curer—Have you salt, and what’s the
price’?
Salt Monster—sl6 per sack, or $4 per bushel.
Bacon —Gracious me! I can’t pay that price,
I want it for $1,50 per sack.
Salt —Have you any bacon to sell; bow much
is it per pound?
Bacon —Well, I don’t exactly care to sell, but
as a favor you can have some for 25 cents per
pound.
Salt —Your bacon is very good, and I suppose
I must take some. How much salt do you use
to some 1,000 pounds.
Bacon —Well, 1)4 bushels will save it easily.
May be a bushel.
Salt —If yon can cure 1,000 pounds with 1/4
bushels, it will cost you five dollars. Won’t it?
Bacon —Well, I ain’t much at figuring, but I
reckon you are right.
Sa.lt —Then, friend Bacon, if [my salt at. s‘.6 a
sack will make your baton cost you only A a
cent, a pound more than when you paid me $1,50
per sack for salt, how is it you charge me *25
cents a pound for bacon, when you used to sell it
at 10 cents ?
Bacon—Well, my friend.SaD, I like to get as
much as I can for my bacon.
Salt remained silent—saying nothing—re
mained as a pillar of salt.— N> rfolh Day Book.
A Golden Rule. —“Never be critical upon
the ladies,” was the maximum of an old Irish peer,
remarkable for his homage to the sex; “the only
way in the world that a true gentleman ever
will attempt to look at the faults of a pretty
woman, is to shut his eyes.”
Os Louisiana sugar there has been sold more
than ten thousand hogsheads, of molasses more
than sixty thousand barrels of the present crop
than were sold at this date last year. Though
prices ruled low, they are better than they were
in 1853, at our last large crop. But for the
heavy cost and great difficulties of transporta
tion, the demand of the Confederate States for
sugar and molasses would be full v equal to the
product of this State, and afford handsome pay
ing rates. This fact was greatly doubted some
time ago.
As the' Northwest was in the habit of buying a
large portion of our crop, it was apprehended
that the loss of that market would be a serious
damage to our sugar producers. It is very obvi
ous that this is an error, and that with proper
facilities and means of transportation our
products would command excellent rates and
be entirely consumed within the Confederate
States. Under the operation of the Northern
tariff, the island sugars must advance to rates
which will enable our producers to crowd them
out of the Southern market and to monopolize
it.— New Orleans Della , Vith.
