Rags for the News.
Wc desire very much to procure a quan
tity of Clean Cotton & Linen Rajs, that
we may obtain a sufficiency of paper to
coutinue the News through another volume,
which we will be unable,to do.without we
can get Rags to exchauge for paper. Wc
appeal, then, to the lady readers of the
News to forward us all the Rags they have
on hand, and save us still more. We will
certainly be under many obligations for
large or small quantities, and besides wi|l
pay ten cents per lb. Then let us have
Rags, and coutinue our paper.
Lookout for the X.
There being a number of subscribers on
our books whose times will soon expire,
and whose subscriptions have been charged
to the former Editor of the.Acws, we have
concluded to notify them of the approach
ing expiration .of their subscriptions by
annexing an X. opposite their names on
their papers, which will denote that their
subscriptions will expire in three weeks.
Then lookout for the X, aud renew your
subscriptions.

Richmond, Nov. 13. —The President
i t s now .occupied in the preparation of his
annual message to Congress. It is a very
important document, and will be more ex
tensively read than any public communica
tion which has yet emanated from the
Executive. Most of the heads ot Depart
ments have made their annual reports and .
submitted them to the President. _
The recommendation from the Secreta
ry of the Treasury will be looked for with
great interest, as it will foreshadow the
action of Congress on the subject ot finan
ces. ' . '
Perfect quietude prevails, amounting to
absolute dullness, but it is regarded as a
calm which precedes a storm.
A flag of truce boat is expected at City
Point to-morrow.
Atlanta, Nov. 14.—Nothing from the
front. A party of Georgia State troops
and Indians, on the line between Georgia
and North Carolina, killed the notorious
Bryson aud 34 of his gang.
We are informed, by one of the partici
pants, that Bryson, the notorious bush
whacker and tory, who has so long trou
bled the people ol Northeast Georgia aud
North Carolina, was killed in his residence
in N. 0., some time ago, by Capt. I). M.
Young's command, under Col. G. W • Lee,
aided by a band of Indians. He was shot
in five places, and instantly killed. The
fiatne command also hung and shot thirty
four of his command.
Wc understand that Northeast Georgia
is now entirely cleared of these traitors,
and it is believed that the death of Bryson
will effectually stop their entrance into the
State for the future.

Gen. Toombs and the Senatorship.
The Augusta Chronicle, of the 9th, an
nounces that it is understood that Hon.
Robert Toombs (who is nowin Milledge
ville) “ will accept the office of Confeder
ate States Senator if offered to him.”
That is a very condescending announce
ment on the part of Gen. Toombs’ friends,
certainly in view of his course when elect
ed Senator by the last Legislature, lie is
“ understood ” to have then declined in a
'huff because Senator Hill received a vote,
indicating that he was the more popular
candidate for the other term.
Why should Gen. Toombs be pressed in
to service as Senator, oi; the State be con
gratulated on his willingness to accept the
position ? lias his course, since the pres
ent troubles commenced, been such as to
exalt him above other men for his patriot
ism or sacrifice of selfish' feeling on the al
tar of liis country ? It is “ understood”
that his retirement from the army was caus
ed by disappointments or piques such as
other Generals have generously overlooked
for the good of the service; and his disre
gard of the general patriotic course of our
planters in raising but little cotton in 1862
is too well kuowu to be more than called
to mind. If ail our Generals aud our
planters had acted in these matters as Gen.
Toombs did, would we now have had any
Confederate, States Senator to elect'/

Yankee Doodle and the English Rams.
Yankee self-importance is strikingly il
lustrated by a wood-cut in Frank Leslie’s
newspaper. The picture represents a lar<re
conservatory, the glass windows of which
are fractured in sevefd places. Yankee
doodlea respectable looking gentleman with
a bell crovvued hat, appears in the attitude
of arresting a chubby little, hull-headed
urchin, who has been shying little iron
clad rams at the conservatory. Doodle
holds a ram in his right hand, which he
has just taken from the little culprit, whom
he holds by the collar with his left. The
latter, terrified out of his wits, is endeavor
ing to conceal a ram which he was about to
throw behind his back, while in the back
ground is seen a figure with the imperial
nose and goatee retiring from the scene at
a Bull Run pace. The following dialogue
explains the design of the Yankee artist:
Uncle Ram —Now, you young rascal,
Bull, I’ve caught you. If you dare to lire
another I’ll lam you! You’ve done enough
mischief already, but I’ll make your moth
er pay every cent of it.”
Hull —“ Oh, sir I—please sir! It wasn’t
me! ”
Restoring the Union.
The brutal Federal soldiery, and their
more brutal officers, have a grytt way of
“ restoring the Union.” Here is a sample
of their deeds in Mississippi, committed
during their late raid iu the vicinity of
Holly Springs :
Ou their retreat passing through Wyatt
they burned every house in the place, and
would not permit any of the sufferers to
save anything, not even, wearing apparel.
In the Western portion of the country
through which they retreated they burned
all the residences and barns. They also
destroyed the little town of Tallaloosa, six
miles west of I lolly Springs. Thosmo/fce of
as many as fifteen or twenty fires could
plainly be seen ali along the route of their
retreat, and it is believed not a single res
idence or barn in that part of the country
has escaped them.

It was reported that a Mississippi plan
ter named Myers had ta/ren the oath of al
legiance to Lincoln. That gentleman
spea/os for himself in a letter to a friend
thus: “I am informed that it is reported
that I had ta/reu the oath to the Liueolu
Government. Should such a report reach
you, you may give it the lie. Nothing
short of death will induce me to submit to
such degradation. Let property go, but
let me preserve a good conscience, and nev
er be guilty of an act which might at some
future day cause a sou of’ mine to hang his
head and blush at the mention of my §ame
when lam gone. No never. 1 have five

are discharging their duty manfully."
lion. Hines Holt, member of Congress
from the 3d Congressional 1 fistriet, has
resigned. He says : “ This step has been
ta/ren in deference to yoqr right to be
more ably, more efficiency, and, especially,
more acceptably represented.” Tills will
