The Spring Campaign.
It ia needloaa to disguise the fact that the
country is fall of anxiety as to the next Spring
campaign, but we believe that there is no good
reason why we should anticipate it with feelings of
despondency. On the contrary we feel confident,
tbat’if we properly employ the resources at our
command, we shall be prepared to meet the on
set of the invader and drive him back beyond
our borders. There ia certainly nothing ;in the
boasts of the enemy that ought to intimidate us.
We ought to have becoma accustomed to such
bravado by this time. It has been confidently
announced to the world time and again that the
rebellion would be crushed in ninety days, and
that too, under circumstances much more favor
able for its accomplishment, than those which
exist to-day. There is less disparity between
the forces of the beligerants now than there ever
has been before, and the difficulties of the inva
sion oerlainly becomes greater as its lines .are
extended. Three hundred thousand Confeder
ates ought to boa better match for five hundred
thousand Yankees now thau when the war was
upon the outer limits <d our country, and yet,
instead of having to oppose five hundred thous
and with thieo hundred thousand, we meet the
enemy with a force almost if not quite equal
to their own.
The apprehension that Lincoln will be able
to swell his army to its toriner proportion, and
overwhelm us with superior numbers is without
foundation. In our opinion his army is us large
now as it ever *will be. indeed, it will only be
by the most lavish expenditure of money, that
the Yankee army can be retained at its present
strength. We have defeated larger armies than
we shall evor have to fight again, and the same
pluck that hus secured us victory heretofore, will
ensure success m another campaign. The army
is not frightened, whatever may be the feeling of
those in tho rear, and the country i« safe as long
as the spirit of its brave defenders is unbroken.
The money question and the provision ques
tion are certainly grave and troublesome ones,
but there are uo difficulties in eithor which the
proper spirit, on the par* of the people,
overcome, We have all the while felt more un
easiness on these scores thau auy other, because
they embrace that part of the war whioh the
men at homo must attend to, and we have never
felt as sure that they would do their duty as
we have of the men in the army. The business
of tho army is to fight, and wo have never had
any misgiving about their doing it. If the
country will perform its part of the obligations
imposed upon it by the revolution, we shall yet
ride the storm in safety. We fully bolieve that
our resources are equal to all the demands of the
situation. We need statesmanship to direct,
and patriotism to stimulate us in the propor ap
plication of these resources. Instead of doubt
fully contemplating tho dangers of tho future,
let us remember the glories of success and the
deplorable consequents of failure, and devote
ourselves manfully to the work before us. With
such a spirit, tie Summer sun will find us re
joicing in victory and confident of success.
Food for the Soldier*
Wo learn that instructions have been issued
from the Department at itiohmond to Major
Cumiuinga, Chief of the Bureau of Subsistence in
Atlanta, to enter the market as a purchaser under
the prevailing prices current. Wo trust that this
fact, at once securing the produce of tho country
from impressment, will open tho market consider
ably. Farmers can now havo no reason for
withholding their produce, which will be lioerally
taken at a lair and just standard by too Govern*
inent.
The army mu3t bo supported. Unless the
agricultural interests of the land come forward
with a will, we fear the troop3 in front will not
faro so well as they ought and as they can be
made to fare by a proper spirit of enterprise and
patriotism.
Wo suggest to the farmers of North and Cen
tral Ucorgia to hold county meetings, set a value
upon tho produce that can be spareu, inform Ma
jor Cummings of the fact, and he will pay them
the amount thus do'enumed on. Certainly this
is perfectly liboral, and our countrymen should
bo up and doing at ouce.—[Southern Confeder
acy, 23d.
We loam that Major Allen, the efficient Com
missary in this Department, has received siu iiar
instructions, and wo presume that the purchas

been clotbod with like authority. This is exactly
the policy lor which this paper has been contend

A Good Shot.
It is now, said Van Wvok, more than two
years since, in the very place where wc stand,
I ventured to take one of the most daring shots
ever w. s hazarded. My wle was sitting in the
house near the door, the children were playing
about hor, eud I was busied in doing some
thing to a wagon, when suddenly, though it was
an eDormous lion appeared, came up
aud quietly laid himself down in tho shade upon
the very thresaold of tho door! My wife, eiiher
froze with fear or*aware of thofianger attending
auyuttemptto fly, remained motionless in her
p ace, while the children took refuge in her lap.
The cry they uttered attracted my attention
and I hastened l > wards the door ; but inv as
touishment may well be conceived, when I
found the entrance to it barred in suqh a way.
Although the animal had not seen me, unarmxi
as I was, escape seemed impossible; vet I g!id
ed gently, scarcely knowiug what I meant to
and i, to the side of the house, dp to the window of
my chamber, whero I knew my loaded gun w, s
standing By a most happy chance I had sit
it in a corner close by the window so that I
could reach it with my baud; for, as you may
perceive, the oponing is too small to admit of
my having got in, and still moro fortunately, the
door of the room was open, so that I could see
the whole danger of |the scene. The liou was
b. ginning to lnuve, perhaps with the iuteniicn
of mahiug a spring. There was no longer any
lime to think. I called softly to tne inoll.er not
to be alarmed, and invoking the name of the
Lord, fired my piece. The ball passed directly
over the hair of my boy's head, and lodged in
the forehead of the lion immediately above his
eyes, which shot forth as it were, sparks sf fire,
and stretch. 1 him ou tbe ground so that he
never stirrt uorc.—[Litchcnsteiu’s Travels in

Ths Secretary of War.
The report of Mr. Scddon, Secretary of Wsr,
has been puulished in the Richmond Sentinel
It i* a voluminous document, and very interest*
inf. If it were briefer, it would find a general
calculation in the pipers! but most of us, being
straitened for space, will have to paes it by. A
synopsis would not do It justieo, or much en
lighten the reader in regard to its character.
The following is its closing paragraph, by which
it will be sesn that the Secretary has by no means
lost heart through tie present condition ot na
tional affaire :
“A fair review of the varied events of the year
should cause no abatement of confidence in the
ultimate triumph of our cause. Our very rever
ses, as already stated, will only demonstrate to
our enemies the futility of their aim* and the
vanity of their hopes. A brave people, command*
Inga territory of such extent and resources,
never have been, and while true to t.emselves
and their liberties, never can be subjugated.—
Those reverses, however, admonieh our people, as
they would avoid the desolating ravages and
costly bloodshed of protracted war, to unite their
wills and concentrate their energies and resources
to the grand aim ot expelling the invader. We
have only to will and to dare as one man, and our
work is sure of accomplishment. Every motive
and incentive that can fire the soul or nerve the
arm of man are urgent upon us. All that is dear
to humanity—property, honor, wives, children
and homes—nsy, the very lives of the present
and the hopes of the future generations, for us,
are staked on success. The malignant intents of
the ioe would exterminate or debase us, through
the insolent lordship of our slaves, to the mastery
of his brutal despotism. No alternative exists
but stern defianoo and unflinching resistance. —
Our only, as our certain, safety is in victory.—
Every impediment should be cast aside. The
insatiate spirit of greed must bo exorcised. Dis
trust and despondency*be displaced by the confi
dence of invincible resolve and the might of a
firm faith. Oar means without stint, and our
men without favor or affection, must bo rendered
to the cause. Each man should rise to the
height of a supreme duty, counting all coat as
gain, and exalting in every sacrifice that shall
free us forever from loathsome association with
a despicable people, and establish the Confedera*
cy of our choice on the basis of approved strength,
in permanent fruition of peace, piosperity and
independence."
Tiie Militia.
As there seems to be some doubt as to whether
those officers holding commissions under the old
militia organization are eligible to office under
the recent act of the Legislature re-organizing the
militia, we publish the following from the Mil
ledgeville Union, which is understood to be ap<
proved at headquarters:
“ The question is now asked every day, what
will become of the militia officers now in com.
mission, when the new organization is complete,
and tho new officers commissioned ? Will they
then, if within the age, be subject to conscrip
tion? They will, as they drop into the ranks as
privates, in the new organization, if not elected
to office; and a private in that organization within
the conscript age, is always subjeot to conscrip
tion, unless he falls within some of the exemptions
in the act of Congress. Again, it is asked, are
the militia officers eligible to eleotion to office in
the new organization ? Unquestionably they
are. They are still militia officers till the new
organization is complete, and till then are not
subject to conscription. In the meantime they
have a right to vote and be voted for in the new
organization, and if elected to office and com
missioned, they are still protected.
Tho same is true of the State Guards, iu ser
vice for six months. As their time will soon ex.
pire, and they will drop into the militia as soon
as mustered out of the Confederate service, the
aot provides that they may vote in the elections,
wherever thoy may be, aad they are eligible to
office in the new militia, if elected, and will be
commissioned. It is thought by many to be a
hardship that the militia officers were not per
mi tied to retain their commissions. So ii seems.
But it could not be done without doing greater
injustice to others. Much the larger part of the
new organization will be composed of those un.
der 18 audover 45, who had no vote in the elec
tion of the present officers. It would have been
very hard to order them in under these officers,
without any voice iu their selection.
Again, to make the militia at all effeotivo, it
was necessary to consolidate several militia
districts, to make the companies large enough to
be useful. When this is done, and 64 to 100 men
thrown together in a company, there will be in
that number two or three sets of officers. Hence
it became a necessity to abrogate the old commis
sions and order new elections. This is fair and
just to all. And we may add, this is required by
the Constitution of this State, whioh directs that
all militia officers shall be elected by the people.
To have ordered in much the larger half of the
militia under officers they never had a voice in
choosing, would have violated the spirit if not
the letter of this provision ot the fundamental
law. We have thought we might do a public
service by making these statements, which we
havo reason to know are approved at headquar
ters, and iu whioh many of our people are inte
rested."
Order For Exeoutlon,
Editors Appeal :— I enclose you an extract
from the general order, directing the execution
of three men, who were sentenced to be shot by
by t’ue military court of Hindman's corps, for
desertion. The order itself is required to be
read at the head of every company in the corps.
This portion of it is so feeling and so appropriate
tuat 1 think it ought to be published.
Headquarters Hindman’s Cos bps, )
DaUou, Ga., January, 3, 1864. j
Tho Major General commanding deplores the
necessity of thus ordering the death ot three sol
diers of the Confederate States. But they them
selves forced this necessity upon him, and their
blood is upon their own heads. Far better for
them bad they died on the battle field leaving
honorable names behind them, and enabling their
comrades and kindred to speak of them proudly
as heroes who sacrificed themselves for their coun
try. Instead of this, wfcat a miserable late is
theirs! to ’perish by the hands of the Provost
Marshal, and to fill the unhonered graves of de
serters. When the sacred dust of our martyrs
shall be gathered up, and their deeds inscribed
on the monuments that posterity will erect, no
place will be reserved for them. All that is
nonorable, and good and worthy to bo held in
remembrance, is blotted out in this record of their
shame. ‘’They abandoned their flag, left their
fellow soldiers to struggle unaided, and con
sented to the subjugation of the iSouth.’'
The Major General commanding, appeals to
the men of the corps to bear these things in
mind, in the faithful resolve that the crime of
desertion shall cease with this terrible example
of its punishimnt. That punishment must be
inflicted as ofioncc occurs. Dut why commit
the Dffionct? Why will not every Southern sol
dier make up his mind not only to avoid that
infamy, but that he will not degrade himself by
meeting any punishment whatever. Men who
tight battles, and win victories, and whose des
tiny it is to achieve tbe grandest revolution in
all history, ought to be 100 proud to stain them
selves with any, even the slightest, misconduct.
Cannot all admit this manly and noble senti
ment? It is urged upon them with a sincerity
hat comes from the heart and deserves to be
appreciated.

Secession Elements in Baltimore.—
The Baltimore coriespondent of tbe Phil
adelphia Inquirer says:
The annual election for Directors of our
Corn and Flour Exchange is now going ou.
There are two tickets in the field—one
Secession, are in sympathy with the South
ern Rebellion, the other composed of un
doubted loyal candidates As the Seces
sion element heretofore lias had the major
ity, I regret to say, in this important institu
tion, it is more than likely the ticket put
forth in that interest will be elected. If so,
it will tell badly for our trade ana business.
There are probably eight hundred members
of this Exchange. Though possessing a
strong business influence, they sink into
comparative nothingness in point of physic
al force when compared with tho great,
overwhelming, sovereign Union element
that abides with the masses. It is this
mistaken precedure of our merchants,
showing, as they have done, affiliation with
Rebels or those striving to destroy our
country, that has seriously injured the trade
and commerce of Baltimore, jeopardizing
the hopes and prospects of other industrial
branches of business greatly in the loyal
majority.
A New Material for Warfare —Chloride
of Nitrogen will, it is said, soon be utilized as
an implement of war. Mr. Isbaiu Baggs, an
English chemist, in announcing his discovery,
proposes to carry up his composition in balloons,
and drop it from the air in the midst of armies
and fortresses.
‘•The very mention of this compound,’' he
goes on to say. “as a proposed element in modem
warfare, may possibly provoke a smile among
the chemists who know that the most accom
plished of their number would scarcely dare to
experiment with it in quantities larger than a
grain of mustard seed, and even then only et a
respectful distance, and under guard at tbe mo
ment of detonation. And yet not one of those
chemists will be bold enongh to deny ibat with
two or three chemically clean carboys of this ter*
rible oompound present in a city or fortress,
however strong, the slightest cuttings of phos*-
phorus or a single drop of olive oil coming in
contaot with it, would in one instant decide the
late of the place and the inhabitants.’.' Mr.
Baggs then proceeds to affirm that he has dis
covered a method overcoming the contingent diffi
culties, and that he is able to manufacture this
deadly material with perfect safety, and in aoy
required quantity, and that it can be safely con
veyed to us destination.—[Summary of Med.

Message of’ Governor Bradford, of
Maryland.
The message Oi'Gov. Bradford was trans
mitted to the Legislature on the 7lh lust.—>
Referring to thej subject of the Constitu
tional Convention, he says in reference to
the question ot emancipation:
“1 believe to day, as 1 havedone for years,
that if we bad long ago provided for the
gradual emancipation of the slaves of the
State, we should now be, as regards all the
national elements of public prosperity, in
advance of our present position. The pro
ducts of our Stajte and its natural resources
are not such as are adapted to, or can be
developed by slave labor.
“I am satisfied that the people of the
State in their moments of calm and delitfo
erale reflection long since came to the same
conclusion. When the conspiring leaders
at tho South lifted their hands against the
Union and pointed to slavery as the insti
tution upon which their visionary republic
was to rest they struck a blow at its very
vitals in every Border State, under which
it has continued to languish, and which
must inevitably result in its ultimate de»
struction.
“it becomes us, therefore, to whom the
whole question rightfully belongs, to take
immediate measures for its removal, which
should be no longer delayed than may be
required by a proper respect for those in
dustrial pursuits with which the institution
has been so long and so intimately inter
woven, and a humane regard for the slave
himself, which tqroidsus to cast him ail un
prepared lor so great a change, too sudden
ly upon his feeble resources.”
The Governor reiterates his objections to
the manner in which the enlistment of
slaves has been conducted in the State, and
to the military interference with elections.
A report has reached us, which however,
needs confirmation, to the eiiect that the
towns of Jackson, Huntingdon, and Mc-
Lemoresville, in West Tenet usee, have been
bu *ned by the Federal forces. This, as is
atljposed, has been done ia revenge for the
W© come reception tendered by the people
th re to General Forrest. We shall prob
*b y be pur in possession of the truth of'
th matter in a very lew days.
