That pa <>r speaks of the war as disclosing “a cruc'ty and ferocity far surpassing all tint is recorded of the wickedness and bar Purity of man in former wars," and affirms that, however men may wrangle about the rights or wrongs oi the quarrel, “ posterity will hav-. but one verdict” to pronounce upon the agencies employed by ihe Federals in the prosecution o! the conflict, and that will be * a rcrdicl of horror and execration / ’ ” Such is tho contemporaneous and impartial testi mony oi the Lading press of the world, which is :omp< ilod so glean most ol its facts from F.-iteral • dhs South herself is well nigh veiceK,-s so far as tho outside world is concerned; and, indeed, such is. the ovule— quacy oi the means of communication among Corn v. s that the most vivid and perfect ac counts of Federal atrocity frequently reach the Soiv h through Northern papers.

The little folks at the schools in Macon seem to have had a very pleasant time this year on May day. There were, we understand, some half a dozen coronations during the day, bat fortunately none of the rival potentates seemed to think it necessary to support their conflict ing claims by the sword. We owe an apology to Her innocent and lovely Majesty, tho Queen of the Festival of the joint schools of Rev. Mr. Golding and Mr. Bates, for neglecting her sum mons to attend her court on that day; but the bet is, we have too many printers on our heels to allow us any other pursuit than one con stant, hurried, monotony of scribbling and scissoring from early mom to dewy eve. Miss Mary Banks, we understand, was the festal Queen on this occasion, and tho entire court was appropriately arrayed in homespun. The rations, however, were full, and of tho very best description. The little ones enjoyed it hugely. HAIL STORM. A rain and hail storm of unusual violence occurcd Friday night last, a little after ten o’clock, and continued nearly an hour. The stones were not very largo-rarely bigger than a buckshot or a small piece of chalk, but they fell lost &Dd accumulated in some places under the caves of houses to tho depth of three inches or more. Some say, at one time, it was nearly an inch in depth upon aleveL We think this ice storm covered a very narrow belt of country—probably less than three miles in width, and has therefore at the worst done no great amount of damage to planters’ crops. In the gardens it bruised and injured the young vegetables, and in son^o places the fruit trees. A vast quantity of rain fell during tho same time. bylflitl r.. lilt; promo niac cru'.M eo: g, cm!

The London papers announce as the “ now 1 fashion” that trains aro discarded and “the urcss falls hardly below tho ankle, leaving the whole foot exposed.” Wo hold this new fash ion comes at just the right moment, when goods are scarce and too costly to bo used for trailing in tbo dust and mud. Beyond thisi we shall be glad to see trains discarded, for iheir substantial inconvenience and untidiness. Why should our Southern women, who have tho prettiest feet in the world, ndhere to a fashion which originated in a mere purpose to conceal big feet ? Sunday Exercises.—Our Macon church goers to-morrow (Sunday,; will all be favored in heaving some ot the most eminent divines in the country. It will be impossible to go amiss for a good sermon. Dr. Leybourn. will deliver the last of his lectures on Monday night, in the Presby terian Church, at 8o’clock.

State. * ► A Washington dispatch states that Lincoln has “indefinitelypostponed the enforcement of the Conscription law.” A report is going the rounds of the papers, the purport of which is, that the Govcrnors of the Northwestern States have notified Mr. Lin coln that their States would supply no more soldiers for tho war. Now this is untrue on the face of it The Governors of fife North western States havo done no such thing, nor are they likely to do it yet a while. They may have advised against any immediate attempt to enforce the conscription law, alleging its un popularity, and the danger of disturbance, and the suspension of its operation may havo been due to this advice; but that is tho extreme extent to which any of tho Republicans who now fill tho gubernatorial chairs of tho North western States could be persuaded to go. Northern papers say that an examination of the officers’ baggage of the Federal army of the Potamac, developed the fact that it consists in a great proportion of articles taken from pri vate residences in Fredericksburg after tho bat tle. Stealing appears to be one of the leading characteristics of the Federal officers as well as of tho rank and file. It is stated by tho Northern papers that Burnside’s death penally order includes the carriers of secret mails, the writers of letters sent by secret mails, recruiting officers cap tured within the Federal lines, persons agree ing to paRS the Federal lines for the purpose oi joining the Confederate service, prisoners found concealed within the lines belonging to the enemy, and all within the lines who harbor, conceal, feed and clothe the enemy. -He also adds: The habit or declaring sympathy for the onemy will bo no longer tolerated, and per sons so oflending will be arrested with a view to trial for treason or expulsion. All officers and soldiers are specially charged with the execution ’of tho order. A Yankee paper strikes tho names of two subscribers from its list, because tjiey were recently hung. The publisher says he was compelled to bo., severe, becauso ho did not know their present address. Northern papers profess to be apprehensive of an attack upon Washington City by the Confederates. A correspondent of the New York Herald affirms that preparations are going on at Mobile to take Ship Island, and “that now, for the first time since New Orleans fell into tho hands’of the national troops, it is seriously threatened by the rebels—that the enemy is steadily-con centrating his forces within striking distance of the city. Tho release of Col. Thomas A. Zurvona, who has been imprisoned for two years, sots at lib erty in Richmond two Yankee officers captured by the State Line, held as hostages for him, and condemned to hard work in the Penitentiary. Had two Yankee officers been put into the Penitentiary at an earlier date, Zarvona would □ot have spent two years in a dungeon A London correspondent states that the Confederate steamer Sumter, which lately es caped from Gibraltar, will sail from Liverpool next week, armed and equipped as a Confede rate privateer, or probably as one of the cotton ships in the employ of the Engineer Loan scheme. Burnside’s brutal order is being enforced, and the first victims, it seems, are two Tennes see ladies. A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, *daughter”ol the V^lHirGcneral'Battle, sou county, Touncsseo, and Miss Hattio Book er, of Rutherford county, Tennessee, arrived here this morning, (Voin Cincinnati, as prison- againsntifortirog'kwj Aritfo.'-jal.,p.urnside’s order They go to Camp Chase." A gentleman who left Washington City re cently says that a large military force is still retained at Washington for its defense, num bering in all about twenty to (wonty-five thou sand men. Tho forces concentrated south ot the Potomac for tho defense of Washington are under command of General Abercrombie.— Gen. Casey retains his position as commander and organizer of the provisional brigades, with headquarters in Washington. Both aro under Gen. Heintzclman, of New York. BIT TELEeB. j CONGRESSIONAL. Richmond, May 1.—The Senate passed tho House hill placing in military service, after tho first July next, all citizens of the United States, including Marylanders, residing or sojourning in the Confederate States. The House amendment to the bill establish ing flag was concurred in. A message was received from tho President returning with his disapproval the act to sum thorizo the transmission of newspapers to soldiers free of postage. In the House nothing of interest transpired except an amendment to tho Senate bill estab lishing a flag. Tho design agreed upon by both Houses is the battle flag for the union, with a white field without bars. Recess until 8 o’clock. Richmond, May 2d.—Congress adjourned sine die last night, passing the act relative to the Congressional election in Tennessee. All bills the passage of which has been heretofoae reported by telegraph, have been approved and signed by the President, except the acts rela tive to Staff and tho act for tho conscription of Marylanders, which were not signed. Nothing definite from Fredericksburg this morning. The weather is fine.

The fact is, that this hankering of the pub lic for the capture of tho rebel cities, natural as it is, has been tho curse of the war. It de rives no support from strategy, bccauso no Southern city is a great political centre like Paris, the fall of which carries the nation with, it. The mischief it has done in diverting the attention of the government and of tho nation from the real objects of the war has been in calculable. Whoever started it has as much to answer for as the originator of tho “Anaconda theory ” or tho discoverer of McClellan’s •‘military genius.” Wo havo gone on “oc cupying,” and “landing,” and “expedrtioniz- ing,” and “detaching,” till our armies afro scattered all over "the continent in driblets. These any vigorous partisan leader can over whelm in a night—while at the points at which we ought to be irresistible, wo are hold in pitiful check by forces at the most no greater than our own. Our shame and sorrow lies, wo repeat, not in tho fact that the rebels hold Charleston, or Savannah, or Mobile, or Galveston, but in tho fact that Leo dares to be in tho field with 100,- 000 men, within two days’ march of Washing ton ; that Bragg is intrenching himsolf with a liko number at Tullahoma. Whenever we havo annihilated these, Charleston and all other southern cities will fall into our hands, without tho firing of a singlo shot, but not one minute sooner. From tho Chattanooga Kebel, 2d. THE SITUATION. At this moment the “ Situation” is full of undefined interest. Draped in the graceful folds ot the season, it falls out before our eyes in a mysterious hasc, like distant landscape, or dissolving view ; for scarcely do we catch a form or feature before it fades from us-and iB lost. The operations before Charleston, and the movements of Messrs. Grant and Rosccrans, have been of this character. In Virginia, the idleness of “fighting Joe,” and in North Car olina tho comparative slumber of those groat preparations, which were to take Richmond in the rear, surprise us, as they must astonish the world. It was the confident boast of the ene my, that so soon as the roads 'dried and the weather cleared ho was to issue marching ra tions, and advance his whole lino upon us.— The latter half of March, and tho whole of April havo failed to redeem their bravado and realize our expectations. There have been a few raids—a few points—a few remote courti- sics; but no largo manifestation, and there seems as little prospect to day as thero was yesterday. The movements on the Tennessee river are per haps tho most actual. They are collateral to those of Rosecranz direct. They are more or less dangerous according to the objects intended to be wrought and the obstacles brought to bear contra-wise. Should our force in that quarter— and at present it is efficient and well lead—prove able to repel the advance of any considerable body of men, or should keep at bay the troops sent hith er to divert our attention and weaken our centre, we shall probably disconcert the schemes of the cucmy along his whole line. Wo do not doubt that his position is one of embarrassment, and that his programme is governed by necessity as much os by any other motive, or insight. It is clear to our owu mind, that he moves with hands and feet, Md C cbain. 0t Ued ’ ar ° ^ ^ attached t0 a baU OPERATIONS IN LOUISIANA—A LEXAN- What Rosecranz is doing behind his breast- dria not taken. works at Murfreesboro is not fully explained to us Natchez, May 1.—A gentleman who from any source.

Even if our iron-clads had destroyed or silenced all tho forts and batteries, and bom barded tho town into submission, the great and gravo fact of the war, the presence in the field of at least three large rebel armies, well or gaoized, well disciplined, and full of fight, would still remain to bo disposed of. The injury wo have sustained by the failure of the recent attack is, in reality, an injury to our feelings solely.

It is no doubt a good thtng for us to be elated, and it is also a good thing for-us for the enemy to be depressed. But, then, elation and depression are in their very nature evanescent. The rebels would have in a very few weeks got over the loss of Charleston, just as they have got. over the loss of Fort Bonelson, and New Orl- ns, and Hil ton Head. And we should in a few weeks have got over our elation. We should have achiev ed by our success one, and only one, military result, and that would be the complete closing of tne port to contraband of war. But, in oar opinion, the importance even of tbisisover- mcd. VV ith such a blockade as has been in force for the last nine months, a chance cargo is ail that gets in, and the idea that this can exercise any serious influence upon the for tunes of such a war as this, will not be enter tained by those who are rcaliy familiar with the-tremendous wear and tear and waste in volved in tho vigorous conduct of asingfocam- paign. ° Moreover, it must not bo forgotten that tho scarcitv from which they have all along suf- f ^ d ’ a, .' d - whl< r h do .more than anything aafiefo .*cif,v - a ' ‘ zi yow ver made an *xn£*di tor cotimi wn the steam* Istan fo Sq&taher, d .“ so. •'hat ceertdatthat • n. 0 r a —■. -.n’.

McGee’s plantation- lie was on the boat when we went aboard After the boat was tied up, Brown went ashoro; this was after dark. Sometime afterwards a man wear ing a Government overcoat and spurs camo aboard the boat. Some of tho company, supposing him to be a rebel soldier, asked him whero he got his clothes. He told them he got them in the Mexi- can war. Hc;went to the captain of the boat and told him it was all right—that the cotton would be m in the course of a few hours. In duo time Brown returned,bringing with him twenty-six bales or cotton. After the cotton was delivered the boatman, by order of the captain, put on shore fiteen negroes that had been used as boat hands. Ater getting them on shore they tied them, after cmsidcrnble struggling on the part of the negroes. It the tying operation one of the negroes escaped. Ater they were tied Brown took them away.
