THE BATTLES ON THE RAPPAHAN-.
_ K0CK.
The reader will find on the first page a long
accoun of the recept battles in Virginia from
the New York World, well worthy of careful
perusal—not only on account of the unusual
tiegreo of candor aud fairness which oh ante: er-
izes it—(we mean unusual in Northern sources)
but a so lor the general minuteness and clear
ness ol the narrative, and its developmjnt o!
the plana of Hooker, and the manner in which
they were met and totally frustrated by the
strategetic genius of Gen. Lee. We also call
attention to the concessions of this correspon
dent in respect to the superior prowess of our
troops—concessions which must have been
still more unqualified, if the correspondent
had b:eo informed of the great disparity in
numb.TS er g ged, for in »1. these cases in nhioh
be represents the Conf-de-ate infantry as diiv
ing the federal* before them, with the coolness
of assur d success, and the Federals giving
back as if that were an inevitable part of the
pr.-g-tmine, we hesitate not to say that the
latter wero in more than double the force of
their opponents. The whole account is well
worthy of attention.
LAST WtfBDo OF JACKSON.
. There i3 something peculiarly simple, sub
lime anJ sfieding in the details of Gen. Jack
son’s i i-t djy.s upon earth. Mist beautifully
who wi I live in history to tho end of time as
a model oT*‘a patriotic and Christian soldier.
H.s last words, uttered in the dreamy uncon
sciousness of delirium, convey to the mind a
beautiful idea of the rest which awaited tbo
wounded and weary soldier after he bad cross
ed tho dark stream of death which he was just
then entering “Pass the infantry to the front
Tell M ijor II mkes to send forward provisions
to the men. Let va cross the river and rest
under the shade of the t’tes." And thus, with
his unsettled mind vibrating between the sense
of duties to'be performed and the pain and
wentir.css which maae repose necessary', he
calmly sank • into that glorious rost. which
ILavcn has prepared for the pious dead:
" Calmly as to a night’a repose,
Like Hewers at set of sun."

VICKSBURG.
There is considerable comfort and encourage
ment in the telegram from Mr. Wagner, dated
Atlanta, 23d. Mr. W. was, and we presume still
is, tho agent of tho Associated Press at Jack-
son, to which place lio.removed from Vicks
burg some two months ago. Ho is a man of
slncwdricss and intelligence, and we believe
him to ba well posted in military afliirs in Mis
fiasippi. H s’ statement.that the garrison of
Vicksburg has' five months’ supplies on hand
andlhe placo cannot bo tnken except by star
vation, ho’ relieve to las given on personal
Lupwledgo and to bo ontitlcd to much confi
dence. If ihis ba the state of things, our
chance is still good to hold this important po
sition, and we fiel assured nci her.iho Govern
ment, nor Gen. Johnston, or the auih .rides of
Mwsissippi or Alabama, will.be slack iff their
efforts to co-operate in the defence. Now 1e
tha limo to short what can be done, and.un-
le>s. Grant can open communications on the
Y«zio, vro think lie is iu no very promising
condition to sustain a long seige. It is diffi
cult to conceive how he can keep up his sup
plies by tho ordinary route down the Western
bank of tho Mi.-sissippi, and up the Big Black"
and thence by wagon again, for an army of
one but dred thousand men. Aside from this
difficulty hot weather is upon them, and the
“superb health” of the Yankee army cannot
bo long main trined in that region. Affairs are
critical, but by no means desperato.
Brio. Gis. Colquitt.—We copy on the first
page an interesting sketch of Brig. Gen. A. n. Col
quitt, fiom the Richmond Illustrated News of the
9th; which accompanies it with a potrait of no
flirticuUr nitric. The sketch however does no
more than jusiico to oar gallant friend, who has
protfod hint elf a soldier, a skilful comtaandt-r, and
has followed out with quiet and patriotic 'fidelity
the liDe of military duty assigned him in the field.

‘WHAT KIND OF A GOVERN MET I’’
The "War Democrats,” R seems, are par
ticipant to some, extent in the Northern fuss
over the kinnapping -and battlement ot Val-
iandigbaot, Even Gov. Seymour, of New
Ybik, who we thought had settled down final-
ly into a pliant tool of LincQlnistu, has ventur
ed some bold talk. -He says it has brought
dishonor upon the country. It is not merely
a step towaids.revolution, but is revolution it-.
se.lt “We pause to see what kind of a gov
ernment it is. for which we are asked to pour
ogt our treasures and our blood f”
We'are in good hope that the North will be
mado to see and to feel before long just what
kind of a government it is. To the'&ii.tA it held
out nothing.but destruction. It came to us
with a simple declaration of war, whether we
would fight or not. On “ irrepressible con
flict” with our social order and the foundation
of our industrial econemy 'was all it offered.—
the duty it assigned to ut Was a simple choice
whether we would submit peaceably to what
ever measure of injury this “Government ”
chose to inflict, or attempt to defend ourselves
by arms. Wo chose the latter, and for this
choice are now suffering such cruel .violence
and wrojjg, while Seymour and his wretched
horde of “war democrats” have been hounding
on the tyrants.
Now we want them to see and to feel that a
“government” capable of such cruel injustice
to one section of the country can inflict it upon
another, and we think they will be made to
feel it We have, at least, no doubt that the
Lincoln administration will go as far in the
business as they dare.
The failure to carry out Burnside’s order in
the case of Vallandigham shows that there are
discretionary limits to their tyrannical inclina
tions, and that ttiey do not yet dare to put
tho death penalty for “ free speech" in force ;
but it is in the very nature of aggressions up
on popular rights and constitutional liberty
that they mast increase. Lincoln’s arrest of
Vallandigham has accomplished nothing for
him. It has only given fresh courage to oppo
sition and denunciation and created a necessity
for a good many more arrests, if he intends to
carry out his policy of terrorism. We hope
he will go on and give a practical answer to
all inquirers about the “kiod of a government”
he has established, till all the Northern has-
tiles are crowded with mourners. And when
lastly they have to re-establish the Black Re
publican administration by a coup d’etat, the
wholo concern will be able to answer intelli
gently “What kind of a government” it is.*
FORMIDABLE RAID IN PROSPECT.
Wc call attention to tho Atlanta Confedera
cy’s revelations aboutra new raid upon Alaba
ma and Georgia of twenty thousand. men.—

Bainbkidoe, Ga., May 22nd, 1863.
Dear Telegraph: There has'been a. revi
val of religion in this county among the
Methodists during the last two or three weeks,
and quite a number of additions to the. church.
Several churches have been visited 'by the
gracious influences of the Holy Spirit, and it
is to be hoped that a general revival, in all our
churches, and throughout the entire Confed
eracy, is r.eat at hand. The prophet Habbakuk,-
in view of the threatened invasion of his coun
try by the Chaldeans, earnestly prayed the
Lord to revive his work, and turn tho hearts o 1
the people from, their idois to tho worship of
the true and living God. He knew that noth
ing but a revival—nothing but an extraordi
nary working of the Spirit, would remedy the
evils which were stirring the anger of the Al
mighty. So in our own case. Sin, and noth
ing but sin is the cause of our present calami
ties, and ha who loves his country should not
only cease from sinning himself, but do all in
his powpr to promote a general reformation in
those around him. The prayer of his heart
should be, “ O, Lord, revive thy work,” and
save my country from the hand of all that
hate us. ~
. is truly cheering to see the growing crops
in this section. Although backward, they
were never more promising. Last Saturday
morning wo had a floe season, which came
just in the right time. -The oats, which last
year were almost universally destroyed by the
rust, are proving a decided success. Large
quantities of them have been planted. They
arc now rapidly maturing and will soon be
ready for the. scythe. - Sugarcane was never
better. More of it has been planted this year
than usual, and we trust theso who will have
syrup to sell will not dispose of their con
science to Lincoln, or the DeviL Fifty cents
a gallon is a full price for syrup, counting the
time add the labor employed ia its production
whether we are at war or peace. The currency,
which is represented as comparatively worth
less, is as good as the country, and. he who
cries down the one, should be consistent and
denounce them both. This war against the
present currency is but a war against the
country, and should be discountenanced by
every patriot
The health of the country is good.
Yours truly, * Southwest.
— Nearly seven thousand prisoners have been
sent off from Richmond, for exchange, since the

Gen. Johnston reached Jackson on the ISth
and fell back on Canton.
The Yankees were alarmed on flnding'Johns-
ton there, and after committing all kinds of
excesses for two days, burning churches, pri
vate houses, tearing jewelry from the persons
of the citizens and gutting residences, they
fled towards Vicksburg on tha 16lh, followed
by Johnston..
Johnston is constantly receiving reinforce
ments. .
Vicksburg has five. months’ supplies of
every kind and can be taken only by starva
tion.
The report of the capture of Alexandria is
not credible. *
[Mr. Wagner is the agent of the Associated
Press at Jackson, where he was when that town
was captured. Up to a recent date he held an
appointment in Vicksburg, and is we believe
familiar with the situation there.]
