Wa understand that two patriotie ladies of Co
lumbus will, in a day or two, leave on a second
mission of lore and mercy to oar gallant army
la Northern Georgia. They have collected a
goodly number of blankets, and, with the gener
ous assistance of their patriotic suiters in and
around this city, have got together a largo num
ber of socks which thejr will distribute to the
needy in that arm y, God speed them on their j
noble errand. How it will make the hearts of
those brave men thrill with joy, and how it will
fire their hearts and netve their arms for yet
more desperate struggles for liberty, to be thus
reminded .of the kind solicitude for their condi
tion fell by the dear ones behiud them! Let not
our women weary iu well-doing. Every blanket
thrown around the shivering frame, and every
pair of socks put on the aching feet of a needy
soldier, is a fresh inspiration of courage and a
new harbinger of hope.
Query,—-Can that be called a leading paper
which never essays an original thought but it
runs headlong iuto an abyss of error, and which
can be convicted of the most disgusting plagiar
isms ?
Privateers and Blockade ltunueri.
borne “startling fao's” (says .the Charleston
Mercury) aregiveu in a letter from Mr. Fred*
tricif’M. the “so oalled” Earl Russell,
on the subject of “the destruction of the Ameri
can carrying trade.” lie testifies, from
person*! knowledge, to the strong feelings exist
ing in the United States against England. Tho
recognition of the South as belligerents, an l ,the
Trent affair, go for nothing, and tho comments
of the press are entitled only to notice so far as
they reflect public opinion. That opinion is in
tense when most silent. The thinkers have
taken the place of the talkers, and all the com
mercial olasses inland and upon tho seaboard
•re lull of bitterness. The cause is uaturaliy
assigned to the biookade runners and the priva
teers. The operations of the cruisers, which
England, Mr. Edge thinks, ought to have pre*
vented, bare proved ruinous to the American
shipping trade.
During the years of 1860, ’6l, '62 and '63,
statistics of the relative trade in United States
and foreign bottoms show that the exports in
the latter have gradually increased since the be
ginning of the war, and in the present year have
amounted to many millions oi dollars more than
the Yankees. As might be inferred, the Yan
kees sold their ships as rapidly us possible; and
from the 30th September, 1861, to June 30th,
1863, 199 ships and barks, 71 sohooners, 55
brigs, 3 sloops, and 70 steamers were sold out
of Ne 4 York City.
We bear, says tho Charleston Courier, one in*
variable story of tbo bad management and de
moralisation of our cavalry in portions of the
West. Many of the eavalryare mom freebooters
and speculators than soldiers. It is said to bo
not nnnsual to see in Tennessee a cavalryman
leading his beast laden with spoils, liko a sump*
ter mule and flanked with sides of leather, Ac.—
A reorganization of our entire cavalry foroe in
the West ha# been recommended to the Govern
ment on the highest authority, and it is reported
that the whole force will be united under Buck
ner.
Ex celled —Richard S McCullooh, well known
ae Professw of Mechanics and Physics in Colum
bla College, Now York, has been expelled from
his Professorship for having connected himself
with the Southern Confederacy. Professor Mc-
Culloch, says the Petersburg Express, is worthy
of the honor which the Yankee College has con
ferred uponjhim. It|gives us much gratification to
state that he is now a resident of Petersburg and
is rendering useful service iu tho Confederate
Government, which he is enabled to do by his
scientific attainments.
The London Times states that a Mr. Sapor*
▼eille, a Frenchman by birth, formerly an advo
cate in the south of Franco, but for the last
seventeen ycar6 a resident of Texas, ‘‘had arrived
in Paris in the character of special envoy from
the Confederate States. He is said to have a
mission to notify the French Government of tho
recognition by the Confederaie States, of the
Empire of Mexico, and, also, to try to persuade
Napoleon to recognize the South in return/’ The
Times further states that Superveille got away
from Matamoras in a French ship-cf war, which
the admiral sent him to go to Vera Cruz, when
he embarked in tho French steamer Florida for
St. Naaaive.
Over Niagara Falls. —The Toronto Leader
relates that on the 27th ult., a Buffalo .-.team tug
with tWo steam scows in tow, got too far into the
corrent of Niagara river, just above tho falls, for
the head of steam on, and the captain and crew
of f«<ur men, becoming alaimcd, leaped overboard
and struck for tho shore. The captain and three
men succeeded in getting to land, but the fourth
man sunk beneath the baplng and boiling wa
ters, and was carried over the cataract. Some
men in one < f the scows were rescued by two
boatmen who put < ff in a .-kid to thrir assistance.
The tug ami one of the scows weut over the falls,
but the other scow struck on a rotk just before
the brink, and remains there.
Rscipa i’OR Making Corn Bread.—A lady
has kindly furnished the Savannah Republican
the following recipe for making corn bread :
12 heepiug speousiWl corn meal; 6 light spons
fall of wheat flour; wot it with part milk and
part water; add 1 egg, i to 6 spoons molasses and
salt. Let it stand 4or 5 hours before baking
When ready to bake, add a teaspoonful of soda.
Make it about the consistency of a pouud cake.
It is very good without milk or egg, but th.y
are a great improvement.

Mon DAT, Jan. 14.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, introduced a bill to pro*
vide for the investigation and settlement of the
transactions and aoeounls of qnartermasiers,
com misrules, contractors and other financial and
disbursing officers, agents and employees oi the
Confederate States.
Mr, Hill said:
We are every day receiving complaints that
the officers of the government are using their
offices for personal thrift and pleasure. We are
assured that many who were bankrupt wben comi
missioned, are now living in fine houses, riding
fine horns, buying large plantations and making
many other expensive exbibltions,too tedious to
enumerate. It these things be so, the truth should
be known, that the people may be satisfied, and
those Implicated relieTed. Many of thwe officers
lam satisfied, are entirely honest. Many, I have
no doubt, have made their commissions but in
struments to secure pelf. It is as necassary to
vindicate the first class, as to punish the lat
ter.
I offer this bill, therefore, and if adopted and
entorced, it will ao doubt go very i ar to accom
plish the end proposed. It is founded on a well
settled principle of equity, that no one, while
acting as agent for another, oen make profits for
himself. The bill simply proposes to put ma
chinery in motion that will effect paly bring
this great principle into operation and applica
tion.
I move the bill be referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
The bill was so referred.
Consc rising Railroad Employees. —The
Presidents of the Richmond A- Petersburg,
and Richmond Railroads,
a few days since, presented to Congress a
most sensible remooslrance against the in*
discriminate conscription of railroad em<
pioyees, and replacing them with disabled
soldiers. This remonstrance is endorsed
by the Presidents of the Wilmington and
Weldon, Wilmington and Manchester, and
other roads of the Confederacy. The fol«
lowing an from this remon
strance :
It is the idle dream of theorists and de
claimed to substitute disabled soldiers, or
others incapable of military service, for
men educated for, and employed in, these
pursuits. The simplest of them requires
tar moie peculiar skill and experience than
tho inexperienced can be made to under
stand. And nothing is more certain than
that the men unfit lor military service are
wholly unfit for the employment on rail
roads. Actual experience has established
this beyond doubt. This bknd zeal to pul
every male iu the army can only increase
the number to be fed, armed, and clothed,
while jit destroys the only resources for
transporting troops, food arms or clothes
im'ihern—already inadequate for the ar*
mies of the field.
At this time, with the existing mv7S £t?d
military regulations, the efficiency and ca
pacity of every railroad in the Confederacy
is very greatly diminished for want of suit
able men to operate and keep them in
repair. The employment of inexperienced
men produces contusion and multiplies
collisions and accidents, while the want of
mechanics keeps a large portion of ma
chinery and cars useless for want of repairs.
Take any considerable number of the rail
road employees remaining, and the opera*
tions of the railroads must cease. Let the
government undertake to carry them on
with disabled soldiers, boys or old men,
without experience or skill, and but a lew
months or weeks will suffice to show the
last train run on the last railroad iu ti»«
Confederacy. No agencii s have been
more efficient and necessary iu carrying on
this war than the railroad companies. Adopt
the measures proposed, and not only will
you inflict widespread loss on stockholders
(many of them soldiers in the army,) but
you put an end to railroad transportation.
What substitute for it can be had ? It re
quires one thousand wagons and drivers,
and four thousand horses, to transport in
five days what a railroad train can in one,
or five ‘times M that number to do it in
one day. Where aie these to come from,
when enough tor the other wantsof the
army cannot be supplied]
From tlie Front.
A correspondent ot the Atlanta Appeal
writes as follows from Dalton:
There is but one corps of Yankees at
Chattanooga, 16,000 or 20,000 men. Heavy
reinforcements have been sent to Knoxville;
the remainder of the array is distributed at
Bridgeport and Stevenson, that they may
be more easily supplied. The whole army,
including the force sent to Knoxville, is
about 120,000. Two corps, Howard’s and
another, are designed to send to the Poto«
mac.
The Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
is in soch bad repair, and the grade so
heavy, that it is difficult for the Federals to
supply the army of the Cumberland from this
sourte. Foster’s forces in East Tennessee,
are also dependent on this road lor supplies.
The Yankee forage train in East Ten
nessee stripped the country of everything
that man or beast can eat, making no disk
elimination in favor of the sympathetic,
lick-the rod Union men. One of them alter
being stripped of every thing, including 1500
lbs ol pork, re-marked to a Southern man :
‘•lf this is not enough to make a man
sorter secesh, I don’t know what would.”
Grant promises those who “behave them
selves” that they shall be furnished rations.
Hu refuses in many instances, to allow
staunch Union men to take the oath.
The Federate contemplate repairing the
Memphis & Charleston railroad, to Decatur
to laciliate the accumulation of supplies
from Nashville. They are ready to admit
tbe difficulties if their on to Atlanta in the
spring.
They offer as their reason for devasta
ting the country that they intend to make
it untenable lor th# Confederates should
they ever re»occupy the country. This
does not indicate that they aiu certain of
holding the Slate pormauently.g
Frou North Carolina.— Catnd«n and Curri
tuck counties, N. C., are being laid -waste by
bands of negroes, who burn houses, destroy every
thing they do not wish to appropriate, and com*
‘mil fiendish outrages upon the inhabitants. It
is said they number about six hundred.
A negro belonging to a Massachusetts regi
ment has boon hung by our forces at Franklin for
burning houses.
In Camden and Currituck counties, N C , we
learn that the Yankees have been eonscribin g all
the inhabitants, white and black, and adminis
tering the oath of allegiance, without regard to
sex, Color, or auy other condition.
It is stated that the Federals have hung seven
more of our men recently captured m Bast North
Carolina.
Cob M. Potts, of Charlotte, N. 0., has kilted

There is but little doubt that the enemy in°
tended by bis late demonstration to foree Geo.
Long street out of Tennessee by occupying all
the country capable of sustaining an army, in
which he totally failed in consequence of the
promptness with which he was met by our men,
which he was evidently unprepared for, as has
been shown by bis rapid retreat. Iha enemy
is supposed to have withdrawn from Strawberry
Plains, and the country, with the exception of
the vicinity of Knoxville, will be once more
freed from their presence. The loss on either
side is small. The Feds removed 75 wounded
from Dandridge, retreating towards Knoxville
rapidly, closely pursued by our cavalry. Lieut.
Col. Blakely of the cavalry, wax wounded. Col.
Clarke of Hampton's Legion was killed. Lieut
Fouche, aid to General G. T. Anderson, badly
wounded.

Boats are in sight off Petit Bois Island. On
the 18. h a fore and aft schooner, supposed to be
a blockade runner, was seen beating up the
Sound from the eastward. Owing to the violence
of the wind, she came to anohor under lee round
the Island, when a gunboat boarded and took
her in tow, steering westward. Several dis

THg Chkvalibr Batard.— When his mother
was told that her youngest son was on his horse,
impatient to be gone, descending from the tower
of the oaetle, whither she had retired to weep
bitter tears for his departure, she thus addressed
and commanded of him three things ; the first
was, “to love God above all things, and recom
mend himself night and morning to God, and
serve him without iu any way offending, if it
might be possible." The seoond thing was, “to
be courteous to all men, casting away pride
neither to slander or lie, nor be a tale-bearer, and
to be temperate and loyal.” The third was,
that “be should be charitable, and share with
the poor whatever gifts God should bestow upon
him." These were commands which he implicitly
obeyed; and for his observance of them he was
indebted for a title far above that of prince or
noble, that of “the knight without fear and with
out reproach.” From boy to man he was be
loved and respeeied for his courtesy, bravery,
benevolence, invincible integrity and piety.—
Francis the First would receive the honor of
knighthood from no hand* but his. Being once
asked wbat possessions a man bad best leave to
his son, Bayard repded: “Such as are least ex
posed to the power of time or human force wis.
dom and virtue."
Being mortally wounded in a battle in which
the enemy were commanded by the Duke of
Bourbon, tbe Chevalier Bayard caused himself
to be placed againet a tree. In this situation,
calmly waiting for death, he was found by the
Duke, who expressed sorrow for hie fata. “Pity
not me,” said the Chevalier, “I die in the dis
charge of my dnty ; but pity those who fight
against their country and their oath."

by common consent is never out of order, we
will be pardoned for expressing our gratitude
at the most welcome and delightful change in
the weather during the past few days.
Pobx.—A lot of 18 hogs, net pork, were sold
in this market yesterday at the rate of $1.40
per lb. We understand this article m the city
market places earlier in the ([ay was being o:»
sered by dealers at the enormous figure of $2. We
hi>pe, for the sake of humanity, that there is
not .this difference in the buying and selling
price of pork. Even at $1 the prospect for living
is gloomy enough, but when it comes to $2 we
shall have to bid adieu to meat. The day for
speculation in provisions we hope is past. Tbe
people must be led and that at the lowest sel
ling rate of the necessaries of life.
