these patriots have manifested painful anxitty in
their ligislaiion to find “soft places” for them,
selves after the adjournmant. Forty patriots—
and many of them liable to oonsoription ! Is it
any wonder that their deliberations, in view of
their probable fate, have been characterized by
haste and trepidation ? Forty stout, able-bodied
men—nearly eno'ugh to form a full company.
What miracles might not this corps effect, if put
into the ranks ! The tide of battle might possi
bly be turned by ibeir forty-tude and heroism
Put to work on forty fications, their services
would be tnvaluablo. According to the Rioh»
mood Whig, they have passed a host of laws
creating olfioos where a man—an anti-belligerent
•> —oonld find a place free from the harrassing vis
its of the enrolling officer. Did not our valiant
Congressmen have an eye to these easy berths
wnea they passed the statutes aforesaid? Oh,
no j wo will not iibol chair patriotism by such a
supposition. Forty fugaoious fuglemen feel for
fighting the foe fearlessly in the front. Give
them ihe opportunity their souls crave. Who
knows but they may «m as much distinction in
the field as in the halls of legislation.
Tha Nashville Presa of tuo 13th says: Thu

This is a heavy mortality out of only about

The Cincinnati i Commercial of the 10th, says
that it has authentic. occasion for saying that
“Gen. Grant under no circumstances will be a
candidate for the Presidency, or permit his name
to come before a national convention lor such
purpose, ii his ppsutve declination of the honor
will prevent it. So lar as his opinions are
known, he is in iaVor oi the renomination and.
re-election of Liiooln.” ihe little word “if”
leaves a loophole. When offered a nomination
his “positive decimations of the honor” will
cease.

This is truth in sp te of the cotton famine—in
spite of the idle operatives and silent mills in

Gen. P. D. Roddy.—Ot this gallant officer

(eats of the war The Richmond Whig of

Gen. P. D. Roddy, is one of the rising men
of the army. Plant and unpretentious he
baa won tor himself in military circles the
highest distinction, and is considered by
officers of ihe highest military repute in our
army, as one of the best of our cavalry
commanders. Sprung horn an' humble
parentage, he has carved for hirnaeit a name
that wiil live while true and geuuiue worth
finds admirers.
Items tram the Mobile Register, 20th
The Enemy.— Sherman and his btigade
are haviog things their own way yet awhile.
It will be a stain upon (lie military energy
of the Confederacy if this daring march
does not yet bring the expedition to grief.
A great war Minister, even at the distance
of Richmond aud in the short time already
elapsed, might have concentrated an at my
strong enough to march upon and chastise
the invaders. Sherman’s force is made up
of troops gathered in from a number of
garrisons and added to his own corps. Why
has not an army constituted in the samu
way been concentrated to meet him ? Sweep
the scattered garrisons and Provost guards
in Alabama and Georgia, borrow a brigade
or two from Gen. Johnston and Beau re*
gard, and form them upon tho neucleus of
Gens. Polk’s and Maury’s armies, and by
the aid of interior railroads, how long would
it take to confront Sherman and make
him rne his rash contempt oi the War
Department and of Gen. Polk ?
Not Found. —The main body of the Yan
kees in Mississippi is still lost. A small
gang only came down to Quitman, and
did all the mischief there. The Demopolfo
boats report others in Coctaw county, as
we staled yesterday, 4jut whether cavalry
or infantry, or how many, was not knowu.
Sherman is not yet found. Where is the
bell-ringer ?
Fort Powell.— All the military and
naval officers we have conversed with, are
of the opinion that this little work—that is,
little in the island ground it occupies—
came out of the nrdeal to which the Yan
kee fleet subjected it, not only unscathed,
but in such style as gives them iucreaeed
confidence ii^ its ability to defy the enemy’s
fire. The work itsell was not grazed, and
nothing out the officers’ quarters, built of
wood, was damaged. At the distance at
which the enemy delivered his fire, Fort
Powell is deemed impregnable, and it has
a garrison that will hold it and give the
Yanks some of their Charleston experience.
If the fleet comes to closer quarters some
body will “be hurt.” And there is no run
ning past in this case, for the fort has to be
reduced, and the chaonel dug out, before
the Yankees can enter the bay of Mobile
that way. Borne have thought they could
land on Dauphin Island and establish a
battery there against Powell. But the dis
tance is too considerable for an effective
battering Are, besides which our own gun
boats can command the beach where ihey
would erect a battery.
Sand has already played an important
part as a material fur defensive loititications.
General Beauregard brought out its virtues
at Charleston, and Powell is writing anew
chapter in honor of it.
There has been no firing on the fort since
the first day’s bombardment. A strong
north wind has blown the water out of the
shallow sound, and the Yanks have had to
haul off eight miles for water to float. The
ebb was so sudden that several of their ves
sels got aground before they were aware
of it.
Ou the whole, the fort and its garrison
have behaved nobly so far, and with the ex
perience of Wagner undSai.iue Pass before
the eyes of their brave deietnlers, they have
in their grasp a glorious and successful de«
fence, that will cover them with honor and
confer a lasting benefit on the cause and
country.
Capt. Grant a Prisoner. —We learn by
passengers by the steamer Admiral from
Demopolis, that Captain Grant, formerly of
Mobile, ol Grant’s Pass notoriety, and
somewhat noted as preacher, politician and
orator, was captured by our cavalry near
Meridian, and has been sent, under guard,
to Richmond. Tne captain, if the report
be true, was found in very bad company
ami must take the consequences. He was
here since the war began, and, if we mis
take not, presented the city anew gun, of
his own invention.
From Mississippi.— -The reports from the
Yankee advance in Mississippi are not ex
citing. It is generally believed that the en
emy will only succeed in desolating that
portion of the iState on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, and will fad in his intention of
holding Meridian as a base of operations
against Mobile and this section of Alabama.
Gen. Polk will prove himseit equal to the
great emergency, and force Sherman back
to Vicksburg if the people of Alabama re
spond to the call of duty.
Latest advices state that the vandals have
appeared at Shubuta and Quitman. We
depend upon the wires for further advices
from the enemy's movements against Mo
bile.—[Selma Dispatch, 20th.
Go to Work —The occupation of Me
ridian, Mississippi, by the Yankees, is a ee>
lioua loss to our cause, as it effectually cuts
us off from the productive region lying along
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, and north of
that point. Large quantities of produce
had been gathered at the various depots by
our Government, but so suddenly were the
movements ot Sherman that but little of it
was removed, and the enemy will now be
able to gather supplies from the country
north ot him, As our producing area is
thus so materially narrowed down it be
comes the imperative duty of our people
in other sections lo put forth their best ex
ertions in raising supplies, it is as impor
tant they should do this, to ensure the final
success of our cause, as it is that our armies
should win victories in the field. In fact the
succes of the latter depends upon the action
of the planters. Government should, and
we have no doubt will, exercise a liberal
policy towards the producers, both in grant*
ing details and remunerating them for their
produce. Go to work, then, at once, and
earnestly. The country cannot do without
the fruits of your industiy. Do jour duty
in this respect, and you will render a ser
vice equally as beneficial as can those wbo
bare their breasts to the missiles of the en
emy. Go to work. —[Appeal.
Deserters Punished. —Four deserters
from our ranks in Texas, who had joined
the enemy, were recently captured and
taken to Bonham, where Col. Baylor had a
court of investigation convened. The pris
oners were brought lorwardand interro
gated, and found guilty by their owu testi
mony. The majority of the board were in
favor of disposing of all the ptisoners im
mediately, and no, to burden the soldiery
in guarding them, or put the government
to any unnecessary expence. Col Baylor,
however, in hie sage judgment, declared in
favor of two on account of their extream
youth. He accordingly ordered the two
older ones, Benson and James Armstrongs
to be executed, and they were marched out
one tune from Camp Irene and shoi.

The effects of the passage of the curren
cy bill, in this city, has been to advance the
price ol all articles ot provisions and neces*
sity lrom twenty to thirty per cent. The
Macon Telegraph says a few in that city
shut up their stores and refused to sell
goods altogether. Others tacked on thirty
and a third per cent, upon prices and made
no discrimination in tavor small bills.
We would suggest that it would be pru*
dent to torego conclusions in regard to a
measure which has, after months of labor,
been consummated bv the collective wis«
dom ol Cabinet and Congress, until the bill
itself is given to the public. We are di«*»
posed to doubt that the telegraphic synop
sis which we have published gives a lull
and fair exposition oi the provisions of the
bill. It the measure is as impracticable as it
is represented, we must hope that the Pres
ident will withhold from it his signature,
amt thus prevent its becoming a law.

If no other fact declared the hostility of

fear of arousing to a still higher degree the

formation, that would touch every honest
Englishman's pride, and lead him to inves

bitter enmity. * While that man remains in
