For Virginia.
Rev. J. M. Daniell will leave for Virginia
the first day of August. The friends of our
Soldiers who wish to send letters or small
packages will do well to have them in. Mr.
Daniell leaves by the time mentioned.
Fine Peaches.
Mr. N. B. Harden, whoso superior Or
chard and Nursery are three miles fn in Ma
rietta, has again placed us under obligations
by the present of a basket of ripe and lus
cious peaches sent to us on last Friday. We
hope that Mr. 11. will be fully successful in
his enterprise and industry, in raising and
distributing the best varieties of fruit trees in
this vicinity.
Capt. J. M. Johnson.
The Johnson Volunteers escorted Capt
Johnson to the Depot on Monday, upon his
departure to jin his regiment. Sergeant
Cooper made a feeling address to Capt. J.
tendering him in behalf of_the company a
present of a box of articles useful in camp,
Capt. J. responded in brief and appropriate
terms. A strong i.ttachmcut has grown up
between the members of this company of
boys from twelve to sixteen years old and
the officer who organized the Volunteers and
has brought them to their present efficient
state of drill.

Correction.
In noticing last week, the flag presentation
of the Johnson Volunteers, we unintention
ally omitted to state that an appropriate ad
dress was made by Sergeant lleggie, upon
receiving the colors.

A Good Suggestion,
The Atlanta Intelligencer, suggests that
all European goods introduced into Confede
rate ports during the existence of the bloc
kade, should be free of duty. This is highly
proper. Every possible encourgement should
be given for rendering the blockade ineffi
cient.
Business in St. Louis.
A friend permits us to make the following
extract from a recent letter received from a
perfectly reliable gentleman in St. Louis:
“Business of all kinds is entirely broken
up here. Our streets present the appearance
of Sunday all the time. I learn from good
authority that there are not over ten thou
sand bales of Cotton all told, good, bad and
indifferent, iu New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Pittsburg, Cincinnati!, Louisville and
St. Louis, all taken together. Corn has been
sold in our market for Ten cents per bushel.
Wheat is now but GO cents. Clear Bacon
sides from 6to 7 cents. So much for the
blockade to us and our upper river farmers.”
NOMINATIONS. The following gentle-
men have been suggested in the public prints
as Candidates fur Governor of Georgia:
Joseph E. Brown, B. 11. Hill, G. W. Craw
ford, W. Akin, J. Gardner, E. A. Nisbet, T.
W. Thomas, R. Tatum, E. 11. Worrell, J. L.
Seward, S. Barnett, A. Iverson, P. Thweatt,
,J. W. Underwood, J. Billups, E. J. McGehee,
11. McMillan, J. M. Chambers, Wm. 11. Stiles,
A. Reese, John E. Ward, Gen. A. J. Hansell,
A. Hull, D. W. Lewis,
And p obably many others.
There is a desire expressed by many of our
Georgia exchanges, that the opening of the
new order under the Confederate league and
government, should be marked by a total
suppression of all the evils and abuses and
trickery connected with the old system of
caucus and Convention.
In that desire we heartily concur, and trust
the reform will be extended to all the States
severally in their own elections, and to Con
federate elections. Let there be full and free
nominations, and a genuine election, but no ;
packing or forcing a choice between two can
didates of caucus.— Chan. Courier.
The Southern Recorder, in explain
ing the reason why Gov. Brown has removed
temporarily from Milledgeville to Atlanta,
says the the Governor’s “ health has been so
much impaired by his official labors, and his
anxiety of mind within the last few m mths,
as to render a change of water necessary to i
check a disease which is becoming chronic I
and very prostrating in its effects. We do
not blame the Governor for the step he has
taken, as by remaining here, with his symp
toms daily on the increase, he would in all
probability have been disabled from attending
to his official duties.’’
Socks fur the Volunteers.— We see it sug
gested that it would be well for housewives
and others to knit socks and forward to the
volunteers. It wilt not be Jong until cool
weather, when woollen s>>cks will be in great
demand. In fact, unless the supply is larger
than usual, our brave soldic-js will • suffer. —
This should not be. Then let mothers, wives,
sisters, and sweethearts knit socks for those
in service. They will do it gratuitously and
well!
Worthy, of Coimnendatioti. — A Mrs. Shaw,
in Culpepper, county, .Va., the wife of an |
overseer, whose salary ib'only one hundred
dollars, with three or four children to work
for in addition to her husband, leas, since the
war commenced, spun the yarn and knit fif
teen pair of socks for our soldiers, the wool
furnished by herself, besides doing other j
work for them.
We learn that Dr. John M’Affee, of
this county, has subscribed forty bales of
Cutton to the Produce Loan, and IniH express
ed Ins determination to subscribe/or/y more.
Thus evincing his entire confidence in our
Government, and giving another evidence
of bis Southern ardour and patriotism. We
also learn that Mrs. Dr. M’Affee has made
up a great many garments for the soldiers,
and is not going to stop in this good work,
but is vigorously pressing on preparing clotl.*

SOME OF THEIR LEADERS.
The ruffian hordes gathered from the bar
i rooms and gutters of the North and about to
be precipitated upon our homes and firesides,
are very appropriately officered. No other
civilized country in the world would admit
into its armies as Generals and Colonels such
characters as those we name below. The
fact shows to what an extent the North is
demoralized, and bow little honor, character
and decency is prized by the people who
have elected a vulgar ignoramus as their
Chief Magistrate. The following are some
of the Northern captains, and there are
plenty more like them :
General B. F. Butler.—This is the poli
tician who was detected in a dishonest trick
at the Charleston Democratic Convention.—
When charged by young Smith, of California,
with falsehood and villainy, the poltio >m
turned pale, trembled with fear and was
mute. It is reported that he was disgraceful
ly intoxicated most of the time he command
ed in Baltimore. If he has any military
knowledge, he must have picked it up w hile
training the Massachusetts militia in for
' mer years. The New York papers denounce
him as a humbug, and demand his recall.
General Daniel E. Sickles.—The chival
rous gentleman who winked at the disgrace
of his wife and hjs own dishonor, until after
they became the town talk. .A pot-house
politician, supported for years by a notorious
New York female, and mixed up, more or less,
in numerous disreputable transactions.
Major William Mulligan. -Familiarly
known as “ Billy Mulligan.” A noted cut
throat and gambler. Expelled from Califor
nia by the Vigilance Committee. Sentenced
eight months ago to Sing Sing, for attempt
ing to murder a New York ooliceiuau. After
serving five months of his time, he was par
doned out.
Colonel W. A. Bartlett.—Commander of
the New York Naval Brigade—an ex-Lieu
tenant of the United States Navy. He is the
man who sold his daughter to the Cuban
negro, Senor Oviedo, an I got up that piece
of shameless, brazen vulgarity known
as the “Diamond Wedding.” His colored
son-in-law presented him with a house in
Fourteenth Street, upon the rent of which
he has lately managed to live.
Colonel Billy Wilson.—An ex-Alderman
from the Sixth Ward of New York ; a liquor
retailer and tap room politcian ; uneducated,
brutal and vulgar, like his associates. He
carries on his shoulders a red pimply, bloat
ed face. He commands a regiment of pick
pockets, burglars and hen roost thieves.
Colonel Ned Buntline.—Ned’s real name
is E. Z. C. Judson. He was sufficiently no
torious, several years ago, as the editor of an
obscene publication in New York, and has
contributed a number of flash novels to the
press. His forte seems to be ‘"bigamy.”—
Numerous females, some of them evidently
virtuous women, throughout the North,claim
him as their legal spouse. He has offered a
regiment to Lincoln.
Major Ben. I’ebly Pooke.—A Washing
ton newspaper correspondent. He lived in
Athens, Ga., several years ago, and was oblig
ed to leave for giving a ne-ro ball, in which
he mingled freely with the negroes. At the j
tim« of his departure, he was Treasurer of,
the Athens Lyceum, and carried off the funds
of the Society with him, besides other sums
borrowed from the citizens.
Lieutenant Penderorast of the 71st New
York Regiment.—The gallant Lieutenant is,
when at home, a “ negro minstrel,” and plays
on the banjo at Broadway Concert Saloon.—
His smutted face ami woolly wig have been
the admiration of many a Bowery rough and
country gawky in times gone by.
Brigadier General Pierce.—The origin of
this Massachusetts military genius is involv
ed in obscurity. He suddenly burst upon
the affrighted visions of the Virginians at
Hampton a few days ago, and already his
soldiers accuse him of cowardice and utter
incompetency, and ask that he may be sent
back to B >ston. — Charleston Courier.
B. F. McDonald.—The gentleman who
served so gallantly under Gen. Joe Lane, in
the Mexican war, and so favorably spoken of
in Gen. L’s reports, has just returned from
Richmond,_Va. He is authorized to raise a
Regiment of Guerrillas, each man to be arm
ed with a rifle or double barrel shotgun, and
to go immediately., C >l. McDona'd’s experi
ence in this sort'of service, points him out, as
the eery man to lead such a command. The
services of such troops are now in great de
mand in. Virginia. The gallant soldiers of
Georgia should flock to his standard without
delay. His head quarters will be at Marietta,
but any application, addressed to him at At
lanta, will be promptly attended to. This is
a good chance to get into active service, and
we have no doubt, that his ranks will be
promptly filled. In a recent issue of our
paper, the position and services of Col. M.,
was fully set forth. Further comment is un
necessary.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
u
Man Hung.— Brad Jones, who has for a
number of years kept a shop in Springfield,
Effingham county, was hung by the Vigilance
Committee of that county on Thursday last.
He hud rendered himself obnoxious by the
purchase of articles stolen by negroes, and
other improper conduct with that portion of
the population ; and though frequently re
j monstrated with for his iniquitous conduct,
' be was heedless, and brought upon himself

The Petersbug Express says, that many a
man more honest than Simon Cameron, Sec
retary of War for Lincoln, is in a Penitentiary.
Will a Mississippi rille with the Minie ball
shoot-through a steam boiler? It will. A
dispute among our friends on this question
arose, and was settled by trying it; and the
result was, that the ball made a hole one
third larger than itself at about the distance
of fifty yards.— Ala. Constitution. .
A True Admission.— The editor of the
Cincinnati Press, a republican paper, says,
War and Union, present or futuie, are in
compatible, and that thus far, they (the op
ponents of the war) are right.
Boston Purchasing American Cotton in
Europe.— The British ship George Holt clear
ed from New Orleans, April 7, with 3,500
bales of cotton for Queenstown. She arrived
at the latter port May 21 ; her cargo was
sold, by sample at 15 cents, to a Boston pur
chaser, and the ship is ordered to recross the
Atlantic for the benefit of the Massachusetts
Cotton Mills.
Edward Everett delivered a speech
on the 4th of July, in the Academy of Music,
N. Y., on “the issues of the day.” He spoke
of the justice of the cause of the North, and
of “the murderous and suicidal war” which
the South is waging. He took extreme Re
publican coercion ground, and said the word
“compromise was almost sickening to him.”
So says an exchange
Capt. J matban Parish of Clinton,
Jones county, died suddenly at the Indian
Spring, o i Wednesday 10th in-t. from what
was supposed to be an apoplectic fit.
A Singular Shot.— In his report to Gen.
Pierce of the action at Bethel, Capt. Kilpat
rick refers to the very strange caper of a
grape shot, from the “rebel” artillery, which
his own language thus describes:
Having received a grapeshot through my
thigh, which tore off a portion of the rectan
gle on Col. Duryea’s left shoulder, passed
through my leg, and killed a soldier in the
rear, I withdrew my men to the skirts of the
wood.
Louisiana and the War. The last New
Orleans Price Current, says : Parties in the
North holding Bank shares or Bonds of the
City and State, will net have their claims set
tled until the present war is brought to a close,
payment being prohibited by law.
The Savannah News, says: We think it is
about time that the travel between the North
and South should be interrupted. No benefit
is likely to result to the Confederate cause
from the free passage of persons between the
hostile sections.

Captain 11. left his beautiful bride two
hours after his marriage, to leave with his
c tnipany on Monday next, for the scat of

A Brive Connecticut Journal.—The
New Haven Register is one of the few jour
nals of the North that have not bowed the
knee to Baal. Its sense of decency is shock
ed and its manliness outraged by the ap
p lintment of Kansas brigands to high com
mands in the army of subjugation, and it
gives expression to its feelings in the fol
lowing language that does it honor:
“ One of the most disgraceful of the acts
which have characterized the present Ad
ministration in its brief but unexampled
career, is the appointment of Jim Lane t> a
Brigadier-Generalship, and ‘Captain’ Mont
gomery to a Colonelcy in the army—two as
deep-dyed scoundrels as ever went unhung.
The murders and robberies committed by
these fellows during the troubles in Kansas
are known to the whole country, and have
linked their names in appropriate connec
tion with the hoary villain, but less fortu
nate, John Brown. These men did all in
their power to keep alive the bloody strife in
Kansas, and are personally responsible for a
large share of its atrocities. Lane murdered
a Free State man named Jennings! lie was
arrested, but contrived to got clear by his
influence over men as guilty as himself.—
His seat in the Senate was secured by cor
ruption unexampled in the history of legis
lation—the votes of members being openly
bought and sold on the floor of the House.
Is tub Route Oren ?—A correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer writes from Kings
ton, Ala.:
On a recent trip to Virginia I learned some
facts which I think ought to be attended to
by our authorities. On my return home I
saw a large number of Yankees returning to
the North, from Virginia and North Carolina,
(former residents of those States,) by the way
of Atlanta, Ga., Nashville, Teuu., and Louis
ville, Ky., to Cincinnati. This route is open
for ingress and egress.
It seems to me that prudence would dictate
that our Government should put a stop to
this. If it is not done, what hinders spits
from coming and going at pleasure?
Brutal Murder.—Mrs. Holland, of Chat
tooga county, was brutally murdered u few
evenings since by her negro woman, anil
thrown in the well. The negro has confes
sed the crime,and is now in the Summerville
jiil. Mrs. IL was about 70 years of age.
Iler friends an ived here on Saturday with
her remains, on their way to some point
down the country.—jKwie Courier.
Russell’s ViewofSouthern Unanimity.—
Mr. Russell, in his letter from New Orleans
lo the London Times, says:
“It is impossible to resist the conviction
that the Southern Confederacy can only be
conquered by means as irresistible as’ those
bv which Poland was subjugated. The South
will fall, if at all, as a nation prostrate at the
feet of a victorious enemy. There is no
doubt of the unanimity of the people. If
words mean anything, they are animated by
only one sentiment, and they will resist the
North as long as they can command a man
or a dollar. There is nothing of a sectional
character in this disposition of the South.—
In every State there is only one voice audible.
Hereafter, indeed, State jealousies may work
their own way. Whatever may be the result,
unless the men are the merest braggarts—
and they do not look like it—they will fight
to the last before they give in, and their con
fidence in their resources is only equalled by
their determination to test them to the ut
most.”
The Fire in London.—The London Bcport
of the-22 1 June says :
An immense fire, which commenced yes
terday afternoon, lias been raging during the
niuLt, has involved the destruction of Cotton’s
wharf and the ranges of adjoining warehouses
in Tooley-street, Borough. The destruction
of property is so great that the market for
many articles will Le affected. Mr. Brad
wood, the efficient Inspector for so many
y< ars of the Fire Brigade, has been killed,
together with either four or six of his men,
by part of the wall falling upon them. It is
stated that two gentlemen were killed at the
same time. The fire presented the appear
ance of a vast volcano. T..e flames occa
sionally shot up a hundred feet in height,
and produced illuminating effects of terrific
grandeur.
Spicy.—Gore’s Liverpool Commercial Ad
vertiser has a spicy editorial in reply to
Cassius Clay’s letter to the London Times.
It concludes as follows :
Great Britain is the best conservator of her
own honor, the best judge of her own inter
est ; and that, as she now right loyally sa
lutes ihe Stars and Stripes, so she reserves
the right to salute the Palmetto, should the
children of the South succeed in retaining
the independent position which they have as
i sinned, in forming themselves into a new
■ union of Confederate States. We have to
i deal, not only with the political, but with
I the commercial bearing of the quarrel; and
j were not a certain line of policy forced upon
us by our honor in opposition to our interest,
in the mere commercial sense of the word,
we should immediately dispatch a fleet which
would effectually open to our commercial navy
every harbor of the South.
One of Tint Frauds. —New York papers of
the 21st June, received by the Richmond
Examiner, mention the creation of the office
of Inspector of Subsistence, and show its
necessity by a statement of one fact out of
many, viz : that the government had paid
§32,000 for 1000 bbls, of ground coffee, 200
lbs. each. It was opened and analyzed,.and
found to contain from 25 to 33 per cent, of
sand, and the remainder burnt chickory and
peas, fife"XvTivfuTlavored with extract of cof
fee. The paper adds, “New York has the
honor of perpetrating this high handed out
rage.” This is only one case. Frauds have
been detected in articles of pork, beef, beau
and pea flour, &c. &c.
fesi'p’ Tobacco, it seems’, is recognized as
well as Cutton as a necessity.
The N. 0. Bulletin, in its market report
says.
There has been no favorable change since,
excepting a movement in Tobacco,about 1200
hhds, the particulars of which have been
predicated on instructions to buyers for the
French Contract, to proceed and execute their
orders, without regard to the prospect of
immediate shipment, or the interruption from
the enemy’s blockade. Similar orders, it
appears, have been sent to Richmond, which
is also suffering a dose blockade, indicating
that the parties anticipate a renewal of ship
ments at no distant period.
Northern Congress.-—ln the Senate, Mr.
Chandler gave notice that he should on Sat
urday, introduce a bill to confiscate the pro
perty of all Governors of States, members of
Legit latures, judges of courts, and all military
officers above the rank of lieutenant, who shall
take up arms against the Government of the
United States, or aid and abet treason against
the Government; and that all such individu
als be forever disqualified from holding any
office of honor, or emolument, or trust in the
Government, such property to be applied to
restore to Union men in rebel States any loss
cs they may have suffered.
JKgf’The New Orleans Delta saj 8 : “If the
movements of our vessels are to be telegraphed
to and published in the newspapers, it seems
to us that the enemy will be greatly aided in
his operations. We have refrained from such
publications . from a sense of duty, and in
compliance with the request of the naval com
mander here, but if officers in the employment
of the Government disregard this obvious
policy and desire of the authorities, the news
papers cannot be much blamed for such pub
lications.
—. , ... '
Gen. Scott.—The Athens (Tenn.) Post
says. “We have it from undoubted authority,
that Gen. Scott recently remarked to a friend
that the war agair st the Southern States
could not be carried on successfully, and that
the Federal Govermrent must make peace
with them on some terms.”
A Good Liquid Glue. —We gave in our
last issue a mode of making a liquid glue, and
we now offer another which was discovered,
and has been well tested and approved in
this city, and is, in all respects, equal to, if
not identical with Spalding’s.
Dissolve good common glue in vinegar, in
about equal portions, or, if it is not desired to
make it thin, three parts of glue to two of
vinegar, and when thoroughly dissolved bot
tle and cork for use. If immediate use is
needed let the vinegar be warm, when the so
lution will bo complete in a few minutes. In
all cases the vinegar should be of good
strength and sharpness,and a few experiments
will enable any reader to determine the exact
proportions.— Charleston Courier.
“Can you tell me,” asked a blooming lass
of a suitor, “what ship carries more passen

From a letter of Dr. Wm. C. Hum
phreys, published in the Atlanta Confederacy
of the 3d instant, find bearing date, “Camp
Hollingsworth, near Winchester, Juno 27, we
make the following extract:
“While writing, I am standing sentinel un
der the shade of two very large and ancient
willow trees, situated immediately in frc'nt of
the dwelling once occupied by Gen. "Washing
ton and staff during the Revolutionary War.
This house is quite ancient. It dates back to
the year 1754. It. is situated about three '
quarters of a mile from the town of Winches- |
ter, and is built of gray and white limestone;
The main building shows marks of recent im- ;
proveniente. Beyond this, everything shows
old age. ’Tis a lovely spot, has around it all
that makes life pleasant and a home comfort
able—a large orchard containing all kinds of
fruit adapted to this climate. About fifty
yards from the house is a large fish pond, con
taining fish in abundance for family use. In
the center of the pond is a small flower gar
den neatly paled in. It, too, bears the marks
Os time. Scatt *red through the yard arc
beautiful shade trees of different kinds—the
Aspen and Poplar among them. In the lot
adjoining the yard and around the fish pond,
is seen the common and the weeping willow
of tremendous size—and look as if they had
been standing for centuries. Ou the bank of
the fish pond stands a large flouring and saw
mill, turned by water power. Through the
yard and lot, conveyed in iron pipes is water
in abundance of the purest kind. Taken in
connection with its revolutionary history, it
is one of the loveliest places on earth. The
building was erected by Free Masons in 1754.
The inscription placed over the door, facing
to the East, is so dim that it cannot be read.
The room in this house occupied by General
Washington, is the same that is now occupied
by Gen. Bartow. The flooring of the room is
the same laid nearly a century ago.”
Patriotism. —The Navarro Express is res
ponsible for the following:
A friend of ours who has been travelling
through the country hunting up recruits, re
lates to us the following: Riding up to a house
he called for a drink of water and inquired of
the lady who sent it to him if there were any
young men in the neighborhood who wished
to volunteer. He was told that she thought
there was. During the conversation the old
came limping to the door, and heard the in
quiry for volunteers, when the old lady re
marked: “Why.ol 1 man,you can go. “Hecau’t
get about much, to be sure, but then he can
sit in a fort and touch off cannon.”
Something of a Victory.—A gentleman of
high position in the sth Alabama Regiment,
writing a business letter from Richmond, Va.
to us dated the Ist instant says:
“I have no news to communicate to you
that you have not heard by the mail, except
hat of last evening, the substance of which
was that thirteen of our mounted men had
whipped seventy five of the enemy, killing
eighteen and wounding many others, and
drove the remainder over the Potomac. One
man, it is said, killed five of the enemy.”—
[Montgomery Mail.
I Salt —The alarm in many sections, lest the
I supply of salt should be cut off, has turned
■ attention to th ’old salt works from which we
received our supplies before the day when
salt began to be used as ballast, and sold so
cheap as to stop our salt works. It may not
be known to many of our citizens that Ala
bama has very superior salt springs in Clarke,
and also in Washington county. These
springs formerly supplied a large portion of
ihe State with salt. Th« water is said to be
one hundred per cent stronger than the wa
ter of the Atlantic. Capitalists should look
t. these springs ; we may need them if the
war continues.— Ttlladeg i R ’porter.

Memphis Cannon.—The Nashville Gazette
says casting of brass cannon has become an
established business in Memplii - '. Messrs.
Quinby & Robinson have received orders for
thirty guns, which they are now casting at
the rate of one a day. They will probably
have seventy more to cast. The brass they
use is made entirely of Tennessee copper.
A thief under arrest in Buffalo, New
York, for horse stealing, has vouchsafed some
advice to the public. He gives, among others,
the following directions:
Never put a padlock on your barn ; it is of
no in re use in keeping a thief out than a
straw. Tut on all your doors good house door
locks; then carry your key with you, or, if
you leave it in the house, put it in fi drawer,
or some place where it is out of sight. If a
thief sees a good horse go into a barn that
has a lock on with which he is not familiar,
he will go to th' l owner’s house and stay ali
night, passing himself off as a traveler-—all
for the sake of getting a sight of his barn
door key. All a thief wants is to see a key
once, and from that one sight he will go and
have one made.
Second, always keep a little dog ; one that
will make a great noise. A small one is bet
ter than a large one. A thief is scared at
nothing so much as a barking dog. If ever
estrange traveler stays at your houseall night,
and you find your dog dead in the morning,
you may rest assured he has poisoned it. In
such a case the better way is say nothing, but
the nights tollowing keep a diligent lookout
around your barn, house, &c.
Lastly, when you have a horse or cattle
stolen, don’t advertise ; (I presume the editors
wont agree with me here) just telegraph to
officers to tell them to watch for you. No
one is looking out lor advertisements as much
as thieves. It is very seldom that any but
officers, catch thieves ; anyway, officers who
make it their business, know where and when
to look, so don’t advertise. This advice will
be beneficial to all farmers if they will follow
it. It is from one who is young in years, but
knows well what he is writing.
number of officers iu the Northern
army threaten to resign unless the Rebels
will agree—
1. Not to erect any masked batteries.
2. Not to put any flatteries anywhere with
out giving three weeks notice.
3. Not to fire into regiments riding on rail
way trains in the Rebel States.
4. Not to touch detached companies on the
outposts, without filling their intentions.
The Charleston Courier of the 15th inst.
says: there arc many vessels at sea from
Southern ports, and the number will be lar
gely increased, concerning whose move
ments and achievements good policy and pa
triotism forbid public mention. |
A Good Illustration.—When President
Davis commanded the First Mississippi
Regiment, says the Aberdeen Conservative,
his troops were thoroughly disciplined.—
They were taught to know, somewhat stern
ly, that each man was expected to do bis duty.
lYhile his troops respected and admired him
as an officer, they were not partial to him as
a man. He did not court them. lie did I
not unbend to that personal familiarity which
is too often inconsistent with true dignity of
character, and which is frequently fatal in
the discipline of a camp. And yet, it
is said, that when the battle of Buena
\ ista was to be fought; and the troops
were arranged in Ordei’ for cbnflict, the
whisper ran through the ranks—“ Where
is Davis? Where is Davis?” and when he
appeared hundreds of voices exe'aimed,
“ There he is, now wo are ready.” The
same feeling now prevails with regard to the
civil departments of the Government, upon
the able administration of which our liberties
essentially depend. The people must seek 1
the man. The man must not court the peo
ple.
Death of Governor Ellis.—The telegraph
brings us the painful intelligence of the death
of John W. Ellis, Governor of North Carolina.
Gov. Ellis had gone to the Virginia Springs
for the restoration of his health, never robu-t,
and recently impaired by dose confinement
to his official duties, rendered more arduous
and resp-'iisible by the present pgcuTiar - posil
tion of the country. .
The virtual outbreak of hostilities, conse
quent upon Lincoln’s proclamat on of the
15th of April found Governor Ellis prostra
ted in health, sick almost unto death, but un
willing to yield. In that state, lying on a so
fa in his office, he dictated his noble reply to
Lincoln’s insolent demand for North Carolina
troops to coerce the South—lie ordered the
occupation of the forts, he rallied the milita
ry spirit of the State.
Ever since, a dying man,- be has stood
like a martyr at the stake, concealing as far
as possible his sufferings, and dying, we hon
estly believe, a martyr to his devotion to the
cause of the South. He was a true North
Carolinian, a brave man, a noble patriot.
John W. Ellis was, we think, about forty
one years of age—a native of the old county
;of Rowan. The duties of the office devolve
upon Mr. larke, President of the Senate.—

A Trip to Washington.—Last Sunday
Lieut. Col. Thoma-: II Taylor, C. S. A., of
Kentucky, left this city for Washington,
bearing a letter for Piesident Lincolr., under
stood to be an official notification if the
course that will be pm sued by the Gove.m
ment in the event of the execution or other
criminal punishment of the prisoners taken
on board the privateer Savannah. Col. T.
proceeded to the headquarters ot Gen. Beau
regard, by whom it is said, he was furnished
with a letter to Gen. McDowell, in command
of the Lincoln forces on this side of the Poto
mac. He then proceeded to Fairfax C. 11.,
where he was furnished with an escort of
twelve men and two non-commissioned offi
cers, under command of a Lieutenant with a
white flag. Thence he proceeded towards
Arlington, encountering a squadron of ihe
enemy’s dragoons when within about sever
miles of that place, to whose commanding < f
ficer he made known his errand. Arriving
at Arlington, Gen. Scott was notified of b his
presence, and sent a carriage to conyey him
to Washin ton, where he arrived about 9 o’-
clock Monday night, and delivered his letter
to Gen. Scott—Lincoln not being visible
Col, T. was then reeonveyed to Arlington
where he spent the night, and the next day
was escorted back through the enemy’s lines.
Gen. S. informed him that an answer to the
letter, of which he was bearer, would be for
warded to this city by one of his officers, and
requested Col. T, to deliver bis “kind re
gards” to Generals Lee and Beauregard
Col. T., while in the enemy’s line, was treat
ed with courtesy.— Richmond Whig.
Soldiers’ Bounty Lands.—Recruiting ren
dezvous ere to be established throughout the
States, to fill up the regiments, for which of
ficers have just been appointed. Congress
meets < n the-Ith of July. The usual induce
ments for enlistment will, we doubt not, be
offered. The American soldier has received
160 acres of land for his services in all for
mer wars. This bounty will again be offered.
And this raises a question of much significan
cy. What is to lie done with conquered terri
tory ? The rebellion is to cost our Govern- !
mens unt 'ld millions. We do not yet speak !
of confiscations of private property, though '
the oppressions and robbery of Union men in
re! el States may provoke retaliation. But
the property of the States that have reckless
ly seized the Government buildings and mon
ey, may be rightfully confiscated. Texas, for
example, after its war and other debts were
paid by the General Government, went out of
the Union and is at war with our Government.
The public domain of Texas, therefore, should
become “contraband of war.” The rich lands I
of that State should be owned and occupied
by the soldiers who fight for the Union.—
And such should be the disposition of all
public lands, in the rebel States. Po.sibly, in
the progress of the war, the rebels may force
upon the Government the necessity of sub
dividing cotton, sugar, tobacco and rice plan
tations into 169 acre sections. At any rate,
rebels who lord it over broad acres and live,
chattels may as Well look these possibilities
in the lace.— Albany [N. K) Allas.
The Baltic Sea Encumbered with Ice.—
Owing- to severe weather, the navigation of
the Baltic Sea was at last ad vices very diffi
cult, from the breaking up of the ice. The
steamer Alexander 11., was literally cut in
two there by icicles, but happily the crew
and 115 passengers were saved. A dispatch
from St. Petersburg announces that the ice
flowing from Ladoga Like overflowed the
Neva, already open to navigation, and that
many vessels were damaged, some laden with
cereals foundering. The loss was considera
ble.
Complimentary.—The Washington corres
pondent of the New York 'limes, writes :
“In view of the brilliant capacity to com
mand exhibited by our Brigadier Generals,
it is understood that Beauregard has issued
orders to liis sharpshootersnot to hit the men i
with epauletts, thus reversing the usual order
of fighting. 'Die rebels had rather encounter
two or three of our Brigadiers than one pri
vate.”
Death of Gov. Adams.—Charleston, July
14.—Ex : Govcrnor Adams, of this State, died
at his residence .near Ceb.imbia, last night.
