Lookout for Helper A correspon
dent addressing us from Williamston
N. C., says thae ihe notorious Helper
of the Impending Crisis, is aacertuined
to have passed through that place re
cently from the dir- ction of Ro moke
Is'aud. A wounded soldier assures our
informant that he saw Helper exchange
gold tor Confederate n »tes to the extent
of two hundred dollars while on tbe
island, doubtless for the purpose of
facilitating* his transit through the
Confederacy. The people w-uld do
well to keep a lookout lor this man.
We are beset, with spies and traitors
and the watchfulness of individuals and
of corporations should never sleep. No
stranger should be allowed to pass upon
our high ways or by ways unchal
lenged.

The Situation on the Tennessee.—
\V learn that a poi ton ot ien .ui'ch

which lias occup ed N-rth Alabama for
the last three weeks embarked on two
transports, thirteen ies below Flor

Pit sbtit’tf, for the evide t purpose ot
joining Bu 11 and Gran', p is also
sa'd that a part of his fotces at present
occupy Inka.
It thus »eems that the enemy is
preparing t" concentiate h s full st'eng'lt
near the -cone of the late desprate
battle "n the I'enm ssee, and attempt
io carry’ Beuregard’s position at Corinth.
Grant and Duel with their combined
armies are here. Halleck, with a large
force from Mus uri, Fremont's army
from Eastern Kentucky, and Pope’s
army from New Madtid, arc gradually
jo n ng them.
Their force will probably scon r ach
as high as 130 000, r 110,000 men.
These will be met by an amp y large
Confederate aimy to sit cesslully resis'
and defeat them. Many R.Tin tthi k

Trouble with the Contrcbands.
The Port Royal correspondent of the
N. Y. lie aid, furnishes a statement ot
the ordinary far* of S »b« under his
Southern owner and then lament* the
change and consequences to his govern
ment and to the contraband* :
“ Ou the 20th es Januaty, Captain
Ftillur took charge *f the contrabands,
and begun to iasue full soldiers' tati hs
to.c, ch and every one, counting chil
dren, and the consequence is the bills
■ d niortulity have increased to an alarm
ing extent, and the negroes are rapidly
becoming worthless and unable cr in
disposed to work. A soldier’s ration
on.* pound ai.d a quarter of beef or
pork, eighteen ounces of bread, rice,
beans, sugar, inoluss.-s, soap, candles,
pepper, vinegar, salt, &c. in proportion,
valued in the aggregate at for'y cents
per day, or for five hundred a< d fifty
■ix men, the women and children, $222
40 per day, for rations alone.
“Now, in the first place, there is not
a soldier in the army that can or does
eat his ration daily. No man can ea
twelve hard biscuits a day, besides bis
pound and a half of pork or beef, his
pettitoes, &c., furaished him. Nor can
th* negro do it with safety. Nuverih.-
less, he s glutton enough to cat alt his
pork and beet daily, and is killing him
self as rapi ily as possib e. It is u
contii'iied thanksgiving feast with him,
and jie will fail to endure it just as a
white man who would cat his Christ
mas or thanksgiving feast every day.
There is a limit to kuman endurance,
and th? contrabands are finding it out
very rapidly. Laying aside the ni<>re
important humanitarian aspect of the
question, the frightful expenditure oc’
cuned in feeding the Negroes in this
-umptuous and unu-ual rnanuer, should
be taken into consideration.
“Tbe United S ates government is
feeding at least twenty-five tliousand
negro, s daily at a cost of about ten
thousand dollars per day, and at the
expense of the negro’s health and com
fort as well.”

We learn that the Congress which

hundred and forty appointments sent
into it by Pres. Davis. These appoint
ments were all for Lieutenants in the
regular army which is nothing more
than a skeleton organization which-we
suppose Congress was not disposed at
this time to support from the public trea-1
sury.-—Richmond Biaminer.
What the Yankees are Preparing for us.
We take the following extracts from
the reports of the proceeding in the
Cuiventicle and Yankee Congress in
Washington, on the 23d April from 'he
Philapelphia Enquirerof the 24th April:
distrust of the supreme Court.
Mr. Colfax said the Bill the House had
ju«t laid on the table provided, in the
first section, that hereafter, persons wh"
wilfully and presistently engaged in die
rebellion sh ill be s ripped ol all then
property, and this section lie could sup
port heartily.
But'he second section provided that
this property should be sold under the
dt-cr tne Unite! States Courts.
After thei- extraordinary decision in the
I)red Scott case he was not certain
but. that they wmild decide the Rebels
slaves to be pr pet ty, and order them
to be sold under the law. While favor
ing the m tin feature? of the Bill, he
Could not hazard such a national shame
He did not himstlf regard slaves as
pers-'U* held to service. But he was
avers* to trusting the question of
legal construction to the Supreme
Cour' when we can, under a Bill open
to amendment, set le it ourselves. He
was willing to extend lenity to the men
in the ranks of the Rebel army who
have been dragged there by conscrip
tion, or deluded by the traitor leaders
ai.d who would return to their allegiance
and Jay down 'heir arms; Ont hi? would

der were the consequences of iheir acts
besides plunging a peaceful and happy
country in all the horrors ot civil war
He repeated that, he would strike at
the power of the Confederate cabal and
military lerders in every po-sibU way
They themselv-’S had drawn the sword
and thrown away the scabbard, and
now should be visited with the punish
ment due the atroci y.
THE PUNISHMENT OF BEBELS
Toward the conclusion of his remarks
Mr. Colfax expressed his wil ingnes*
K, support S--nator Sherman’s Bill, or
that of ena or Truml ull, and especially
favored that clati*e in the former which
excluded from office, hereafter, all who
continued to hold office u dcr the
Rebellion. He appealed to th<>s« who
like himself, had valued the lives of
their constituents who hid been killed
maimel and wounded by their Rebel
enemies on the battle field, while ru
tai ling our Government and tha Union
to remember that we here s and between
tne living and he dead, and owe it to
our brave soldiers to strike down 'he
power of the Rebellion bv every legis
lative measure possible to enact.
A MODERATE COUR F. DESIRABLE.
Mr. Dunn believed tha l if a vote
should have been take" last evening
on th-• Bill, which to day was laid on
th" table, it w uld have passed ihe
House. Gieat has e was exh bted a
few day* ag<» in .hepa«*.ig* of another
cipare, nam ly, the Bib for the cm tn
cipation of the slaves in the District of
Columbia I her cud be a delay; it
was said it must be uto .ce. Thh Presi
dent hd(F admin stored to Congress a
very just rebuke lor their hot haste.
He vvai lb' pun sh ng the Rcbe's i
every way known to the law, and would
at like them hip and thigh. He made
a broad distinction between those who
hud • ro' ght on this Rebellion, namely
the i*adeis, agitato's and, t'cir
victim* the people who have been led
into this folly madne-n and ruin. He
did not want to produce a common ruin
in the rebellious Sta' s, an line tide old
men women and children in the punish
ment.
The Bill the Hour* had talJed pro

the property of the Rebeis wi hout dis

A Right View of' Duty. —The geod
people of Macon says the Savannah
Republicon, having petitioned the Gov
• rnor to declare martial law in their
ei'y for specific purpose, he hi* wisely
declined to do so. We are glad to ece
that the Governor hinks there are some
things whi<h he ha* do power right
fully to do.
The following letter, barring it*
wretched grammar is to the point:
Executive Department,
Milledgeville, Ga., April 22d 18
Hor, T. G. Holt Macon, Ga:
Str.-—ln reply to your letter of the
14th inst I am instructed by the Gov
ernor to say that he does tot
he has the r gh» to declare martail taw
to a limited extent over any city or
enitory of the State for a special pur
pose; that either the civil or military
authorities must govern. Nor do”* hi*
Excellency think that the mere*up|'res
sion of martad law. Die evil growing
on, of it is great beyond all doubt, but
it is believed mere police regulations,
if rigidly enforced, would ah' te much ot.
the evil. To declare and maintain inar
tail law, necessaii y involve* the ein
pi- yment of a greater or has military
force; and since the passage ot Hjc Cou
-Bc.iipt Act, his Excellency is left almost
impotent as to men or arm*. Trusting
that, an adequa'e remedy for the evil*
complained of may be found.
