Jag that the cause was just, and that God
should favor them, they resolved to give up
their live 3, or bequeath'to posterity a liv
ing monument of their courage and con
stancy. At Lexington the first blood flow
ed, kindling a fire that never ceased its
burnings but with tbs surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown on the 19th day of Oc
tober, 1781. Our forefathers had their
reverses, but they bore defeat like brave
men. Boston, New York, Charleston, and
nearly .all the principal cities, were in the
bauds of the British; South Carolina was
tbo hands of the eucuiy; North Caroli
na was invaded; aU army had marched to
Che ceatre of Virginia; Washington was
driven from New Jersey; in fact nearly
overy Colony felt the rule of England, but
th*people reinaiuedfirm and united. They
starved, and were ragged, but their faith
was unshaken. They suffered the greatest
horrors imaginable; one dollar in specie
would buy forty in Continental money ;
they went barefooted in winter, and almost
naked; the reward was rich, aud was gain
ed. The final treaty, which gave lib
erty to all, was signed the 30th Sept., 1753.
The attempt of the Mexicans to subju
gate Texas, before the annexation of that
State to the United States, is fresh in the
'tiwtnorv of many. The Mexicans hated
tbs Anglo-Americans because they refused
to subscribe to the Homan faith ; they also
claimed Texas as a part of their Govern
ment, which the Americans disclaimed.
The war was fully inaugurated in 1833,
&ud from that year until 1845 the war oi
Subjugation was carried on by the Mexi
cans- The massacre of the Alamo, where
one hundred and fifty Texans were slain
while crying for quarter, and, at Goliad,
where four hundred prisoners were shot,
ere instances of the horrid cruelty of Santa
Anna. At the battle of San Jacinto the
supreme ruler of Mexico was captured by
the.army of Gen. Houston, who acknowl
edged the independence ot the Texan Re
public), but upon his return disavowed the
treaty. The massacre of the prisoners cap
tured at Mier by the Mexicans in 1842
r.pread constipation and rage throughout
the United States, 'and annexation was the
consequence.
We;have endeavored to show that Sub
jugMipa is impossible, when the people re
main firm; that the Anglo-Saxon race is
unconquerable when resolved to be free;
that, though the world be against us, unity
and action cannot fail to triumph. llow
snanv cowardly hearts and senseless fools
Assert that the Yankees will yet prevail ?
Do 3uch men know anything about it ?
a,re they competent to judge of a Nation s
destiny ? Ask such uien who was Bona
parte, Wellington or Washington, and they
cannot tail you. Doubtless they will tell
'~ ou that Washington led the French ar
mies "; W ell in ston achieved American in
dependence, and Bonaparte won the battle
of ’Waterloo!
We trust that this glance at the history
of nations will give the reader a desire to
read their histories.
MHler Co , Ga., Nov., 1863
.“ the • House of Delegates of Virginia,
says the Richmond Dispatch, on Monday
passed a bill for the protection of Treasury
notes, the main features of which are the
following:
Ist. Forbidding the sale or exchange of
anv Bank note or Confedeate Treasury
note, for any sum in gold or silver less
.'than the nominal value of said Bank or
Treasury note.
2d. Laying the same restriction npon
the sale of Confederate notes for Bank
notes.
Sd. Forbidding the exportation of gold
or silver, or Bank or State Treasury notes,
without the written consent of the Gover
nor or Secretary of the Treasury of the
Confederate States.
• 4th. Prescribes the penalty, which is
forfeiture, fine and imprisonment.
sth. Against selling, or giving and re
ceiving iu exchange any Bank or Treasu
ry note, &c., issued within the limits ol the
United States.
The Richmond Sentinel gives the follow
ing as the present status of the exchange
question : No progress has yet oeen marie,
aud co change has transpired in the nego
tiations for a better understanding on the
subject of exchanging prisoners of war.
The Washington authorities have neither
accepted or declined our propositions, or
submitted rival ones. They continue a sort
of irregular 3ad special exchange, as it to
keep the question open ; perhaps to keep
down the murmuring of their own people-.
Tire conduct of the enemy in this matter
isl disgraceful, but characteristic ’
Exchange of Prisoners cf War.
The following order, relative to the ex
change of prisoners, has juat been publish
ed :
War Dep’t, Adj. Gens. Office, )
Washington,Oct. 16,1863. j
General Orders. No. 339.
1. A declaration of exchange having
been announced by R. Ould,Esq., Agent of
Exchange at Richmoud, Va., dated Septem
ber 12, 1863, it is hereby declared that
all officers and men, of the United States
Army, captured and paroled previous to
to lßt September, 1863, are duly exchang
ed.
The officers and men herein declared ex
changed will immediately be sent to join
their respective regiments.
By order of the Secretary of War.
E. D. Townsend,
Assistant Adj’t Gen.
*
The Marietta Confederate of the sth iu
st&nt states that intelligence had been re
ceived in that office from Camden, Ark.,,
that Gen. Price had been reinforced by
troops from Red river, to the number of
seven thousand, and would soon advance
upon the enemy. Camden was designated
* as the place of rendezvous for tile Arkansas
troops captured at Port Hudson and Vicks
burg. We presume that some, if not all,
of the reinforcements consisted ot these
exchanged prisoners, who crossed the Mis
sissippi near the mouth of Red river.
The Washington Republican, speaking
of Miss Bell Boyd, now imprisoned in
Washington, states that she still retains all
her yiftocity, and “ sings rebel songs inces
santly.'' The same paper says that all
stories affecting her reputation, either as a
woman, or questioning her fidelity to the
South, are false and slanderous.
