A Good Thing.—The Yankee Govern

recoil upon it. Some of the enterpris

“green back’ currency for months past.
Many of the abolition prisoners taken at
t’hancellorsville were bountifully sup

from these villainous Yankees, have dis

aqTC When Bull and Jonathan get iu
the sulks, the former is inspired with un
usual courtesy. In his speech the other

Lord Russell spoke of us twice as the
Confederate Utaies, without any reserva
tion or apology or prefix id “so-called”
or ••so-claimed,” and during his whole
speech never alluded to its j*- : - in insur
rection, rebellion or revolt.
SiiaU we Rave a ?
Almost from the very commencement
of this revolution, there have Hetm a few
restless spirits longing to see U Dictator
ship established. They propose to clothe
President Davis with the power of life
and death, and stoutly contend that
nothing but investing him with full pow
ur of purse and sword tail save us.
Wo would respectfully suggest that
whatever iucllioieney the government
may have exhibited, it is not attributa
ble to a waitt of sufficient power upon the
part of the Executive. He has had the
hearty co-operation of the people, and
has been voted every needful supply of
men and money by Congress. It. is dif
ficult, therefore, to see in what respect
the condition of things would be better
ed by clothing the President with more
power. The people arc interested and
have hitherto given (heir lieat*y co-oper
ation to our civil authorities in the work
of our defense. Tire readiness with
which the cotton loan was taken up—
the promptness of the men of the country
to hasten to the battle field, and in fact,
the whole history of the war, has exhib
ited no necessity for additional Execu
tive power. The President has had the
hearty sympathy and the willing help of
(he people ; wliat more is necessary ?
But when a greater crisis arrived,
Congress by its act of conscription made
every male citizen of the Confederate
States between the ages of eighteen and
liii'ly-five years, a soldier, with the ex
ception of those whom the well-being of
society and ihc success of our cause re
quired at home.
The entire arms bearing popula
tion of the Confederacy, with’ money
to equip and sustain them, with a people
united in their hatred of a common foe,
and in their determination to be free, if
with all these advantages our present
administration cannot succeed, would it
with the life and property of every .citi
zen under its complete control ? We are
not aware of any disposition on the part
of President Davis to accept, (lie purple
if tendered him; but this sentiment
should he rebuked wherever it dares ex
hibit itself. It should not be tolerated,
not even as a measure dictated by milita
ry necessity. In times of revolution the
minds of meu act hastily, and the adop
tion of a vital error in political philoso
phy is dangerous, for whenever a people
arc ready to make a sacrifice of their
liberties, there will not long be wanting
a tyrant to accept them.
“Crushing Out.” —How it Progress
es.—The Yankees have possession of
the capitals of four Southern States—
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ma
ryland. This may in some measure serve
to keep up their own courage, and bol
ster up (heir cause abroad ; but it does
little towards “crushing out” the rebel
lion. The mere circumstance of having
captured a city or a number of cities, is
of comparative little importance, so long
as the spirit of the people remains un
broken. If when they capture one of
our cities and gain a footing on our ter
litory, our people should dock to their
standard and bind themselves to their
government by oaths of allegiance, they
might hope at last to conquer us. But
this is not the case. Our people hate
them as the invaders of their soil, and
detest the miserable despotism that sends
them against us, and expect the time to
come when they shall be driven from
our soil. They loathe the thought of
reconstruction and reunion with a peo
ple who have shown themselves so base.
Other cities may fall, and still the rebel
lion not be “crushed out.” Our people
arc determined and hopeful; a calm
resolution to conquer or perish pervades
our nation, and the country will either
enjoy its freedom or suffer depopula-

Georgians in the Late Battles.
The Georgia regiments in the army of
Virginia have fully sustained their rep
utation for gallantry and noble daring jn
the late engagements near Chancellors
ville. The 10th ’Georgia was in the
tight on the “>d inst., and was instrumen
tal in the capture of about 400 Y'ankees,
detachments of two Connecticut regi
ments. Titc 20tli Georgia shared the
honor of recapturing Marye’s Heights,
which had been taken from the Missis
sippiaus the day before. The 50th
Georgia, part of Hcmnics’ brigade, fought
like heroes; at the battle of Salem
Church, the regiment lost 181 killed and
wouuded, and it was there they won the
reputation of being one of the best fight
ing regiments in the army of Virginia.
Going into action under a heavy fire,
they formed and charged up to within
sixty yards of the enemy’s line, took po
sition in an open road and fought there
for oyer two hours against a force near
ly double their own number, and repuls
ed and drove off, with great slaughter,
five successive regiments of Gen. Sedg
wick's corps, almost utterly destroying
a New Jersey regiment and completely
disorganizing two Pennsylvania regi
ments. They were next charged upon
by the 12i!i U. B. regulars, whom they
likewise put. to (light. A New York re
giment came next, but fared no better;
(he brave Georgians dispersed them,
capturing their Hag staff presented them
by Gen. Draper. The 14th Georgia, in
connection with other regiments of
Thomas’s brigade, charged Dan Sickles’
famous “Excelsior” .brigade iu their for
midable cnticnchmcnts, just to the left
of Chanecllorsvillc, and drove them out
at the point of the bayonet, completely
routing them, killing and wounding a
large number and taking many prison
ers.

Lincoln’s Draft.—Lincoln’s enroll
ment bill appears not to be a revenue
measure, as was thought by some, but a
war measure. The clause of the act sell
ing exemptions for S3OO, it is now
thought, will be practically ignored,
oeeretavy Chase is said to have declared
that the section is permissive, and not
mandatory ; that it is optional with him
to receive the money or reject it; that
he is not a national treasurer, and has
no time to go into the business of hunt
ing up substitutes. If -this policy ob
tains, conscripts will be left to hunt up
substitutes at tlicir own price, or per
haps an equal number of volunteers will
be called for at the time the draft is or
dered, to be accepted only as substitutes
for drafted men, and receive a govern
ment bounty of SIOO, and the conscript’s
price of exemption besides.
Affairs in the husk
We have received the Appeal Ex;r.i,
issued at Meridian, Miss., loth inst.
Iho proprietors of tho Appeal saved the*
press and most of the material when
Jackson fell into the enemy.
From the Extra we gather a few interest
ing particulars of the evacuation ot Jack
son : -
1 he Yankees appeared at Jackson early
Thursday morning. Most of the Gov
eminent stores ami property had been
removed in advance, and much that was
left was thrown into the streets and ap
propriated I.y r the retiring soldiers and
whoever else chose to encumber theui-
Felves with the castoff property.
But a feeble resistance was made by
our small force sent out to hold the ene
my in check. No serious engagement
was intended or expected—about twelve
o’clock our troops commenced moving
off towards Canton. We had some ten
or twelve cannon iu position in rifle
pits, manned by a few raw troops, which
seemed to stay the progress of the enemy,
who did not enter the town until about 2
o’clock, p. in. The 40th Ga. and a South
Carolina Regiment were the only infan
try engaged. Geus. Gregg and Walker
were in command. Gen. Johnston ar
rived (he evening before, too late to be
of any service in an effort to hold the
place.
Greene’s banking house was destroyed
—Lis loss is estimated at a quarter of a
million dollars. The Baptist printing
office was saved by’ a Federal guard being
placed around it. The proprietors of
the Mississippian succeeded in moving
away most of their material, not leaving
much to be destroyed except a large Hoe
press, on which the Weekly Mississippian
was printed. Grant’s army lias gone to
Vicksburg. A tight, was reported as
having occurred at Big Black on Friday
and Saturday.
We append the following from the
Extra:
We are informed that a temporary
bridge has been constructed across Pearl
river, and that troops passing down the
road commenced crossing yesterday.
We learn, verbally, that Gen. Johnston,
with his little command, left Calhoun sta
tion yesterday morning, with the view of
effectinga junction with Gen. Pemberton,
on the Big Black. Gen. Maxey, with his
brigade, was expected in Jackson yester
day evening.
Our Soldiers Enthused.
One of Hooker’s officers recently cap
lured thinks there is not much differ
ence between the fighting qualities of
the Southerner and the Y ankee, but says
none of the Y'anlcee privales ever be
come enthused in battles as the Confed
erates do. The Northern troops do their
duty mechanically, while the Southern’
are all aglow with enthusiasm.
That is one secret of our success. A
man to excel in anything must become
enthused. Demosthenes was enthused on
the subject of oratory, and lie made an
impress on humanity which the long
lapse of ages has not erased. Leonidas
was enthused on the subject of freeing
his count ry from tyranny', and the world
yet feels the power of his example.—
Washington’s little band were far out
numbered by veteran English troops,
but they were terribly enthused and won
their independence. Our soldiers have
motives sufficient to kindle enthusiasm:
the Y'ankees have not: their homes and
firesides are not invaded. But when our
soldiers light, visions of loved ones and
the sanctity of our homes and altars an
imate them with a lofty enthusiasm; —
and woe be to the army of the invading
vandals who dare meet these hosts of
enthused freemen.

Tin: Magnolia Weekly, is the
title of anew Literary paper, recently
started in Richmond. The number be
fore us is a neatly printed betavo, filled
with choice reading matter. “Benedict
Arnold, the Traitor, a Drama in an Es
sa.y,” by the well known author, Wm.
Gilmore Simms, commences with the 32d
No. of the Ist volume. It promises to
be an Interesting story, as most of Mr;
Simms’stories are. We notice tht the pa
per is mostly filled with original matter,
the productions of the ablest writers in
the South—a very desirable feature in a
literary paper. Bobt. I>. Jones—favora
bly known to our citizens as an enter
prising news agent—is the sole agent for
Columbus. He will be prepared to fur
nish back numbers, containing Mr.
Simms’ story. Parents and guardians
who wish to secure a good family paper
for their children, would do well either
to negotiate with Master Robert, or ad
dress the publishers, Messrs. Hines &
Smith, at Richmond, Va.
Vick&burg.—Affairs in the (Vest are
becoming painfully interesting. Our
forces in that vicinity appear to be
divided—stationed at. several points,
from which a speedy concentration is
extremely difficult. The Y’ankee com
mander seems to have taken advantage
of this circumstance, and to have been
engaging the detached portions of our
army while thus separated. All feel that
the great crisis in ihe Mississippi Valley
is near at hand, and whilst public confi
dence in Gen. Johnston, and in our brave
army of the West, has suffered no dimin
uation, many feel that, we hold Vicksburg
by a feeble tenure, unless great and al
most unparalleled changes speedily take
place, lt is probable that our forces
formerly at Canton may be able to form
a junction with those at Vicksburg, and
that, the enemy may be dispersed before
his reinforcements arrive from Mem
phis. This, however, will require the
greatest rapidity of movement, and a
generalship worthy of such a leader as
Johnston; the obstacles are numerous
and formidable. We shall await the par
ticulars of further movements in that
quarter with deep interest. Should
Vicksburg fall it would be a severe re
verse in many respects, but as a calamity
it would be insignificant compared with
the capture of Richmond or with a re
verse in Middle Tennessee. It would not
be half such a blow as was the fall of
Fort Donelsun and the occupation of
Nashville by the enemy.
Tiif. Forty-Sixth Georgia. —lt is
stated that while this large regiment, so
well known, was passing recently
through Georgia, on its way to a certain
point, several hundred of the men seized
an opportunity to disperse and slip away
to their homes. They have not been
heard of since, The fact is a very disa
greeable one to announce certainly; but
it seems to us that the officers must have
been seriously in fault.— Sac. Nexus, 10.

The first resolution adopted at the meeting of

Senator Vallandiglim was a startling outrage upon
American citizenship. One speaker referred to a

■The Yankee Occupation of the City
of Jackson—Terrible Destruction
of Property.
In order to ascertain the amount of damage done
by the Yankees during their forty-eight hours oc
cupation of the city of Jackson, we went over and
tuok a careful survey of the place yesterday morn
ing, and give below the result of our observations.
The following buildings wore burned:
Green's Cotton factory, together with all the
machinery, 300 bales of cotton, and alt tho build
ings connected with the factory; Phillips’ factory,
and all the small buildings connected therewith; .1
A Stevens’ foundry, Bailey's cotton shed, contain
ing a large quantity of tar, lime, cement, Vc.; Ca
tholic Church and parsonage; Confederate House,
together with furniture, Ac.; Itailroad depot, and
all the buildings immediately west and soutli of tho
same; State penitentiary, with all the machinery;
flouring mill, near Phillips’ factory; all the houses
on State street, from Shaw’s store to Graves’ corn
er, including Green’s Banking House; Ambrozier s
grocery, Alien A Logon’s store, and Graves’ large
brick building, with a number of small intervening
houses; all the houses on the soutli side of Pearl
street from State street to the Mississippi Baptist
office, including the Confederate Quartermaster'll
odice; a number of sheds or warehouses, near the
old depot of the Southern railroad, containing an
immense quantity of cotton, sugar, molasses, &e.,
and a number of old cars, belonging to both rail
loads; all the houses in front of the City Hall, and
Market house, except Mrs. Sanders’ boarding house
and one or two small shops; Lemley’s hat factory,
Kobinson’s warehouse, General Freeman’s dwell
ing house; all the buildings belonging to the fair
grounds; rope factory and saltpetre works; the rail
road and city bridges across Pearl river, and all
the bridges and trestle work on the Southern rail
road for several miles; all shops where government
work was being carried-on. All the stores in the
city were pillaged, their contents either carried oli
or thrown in the street and burned. The Missis
sippian office was broken open, tho type thrown in
the stn ct and the presses and furniture broken up.
The Postoftico was rifled of itsconieuts. The, Gov
ernor’s mansion was broken open and pianos and
furniture destroyed. /
The Episcopal church was entered and the
whole interior defaced. Nearly all the private
residences were entered and 1 1 units broken open,
tine dresses torn to pieces, and all jewelry, silver
ware and provisions taken.
E. Verden’s loss in sugar, molasses, Ac., is esti
mated at $200,000.
Intelligent gentlemen estimate the total loss of
property in the city at five tuillionsof dollars.
On Friday morning a squadron of cavalry came
over to Rankin and tore up ttie railroad about 4
miles, and a few rails at other places to within
two miles of Brandon. They ransacked the private
dwellings for arms and ammunition, taking away
a few negroes, horses and mules. Among the
chief sufferers in tho raid were Mrs. S. M: Hamil
ton, 14 negroes; Austin Neely, 14 negroes; A. .1,
Neely, 0 negroes; A. P. Miller, 4 negroes; G. W.
Rains, 2 negro's ; Gen. P. llenry, 1 negro arid ff
horses, Ac.
It is asserted and believed that in the retreat
between Jackson and Clanton, many houses were
burned and nearly all tho horses, mules and cattle
driven away.
We could learn no particulars of the fight at
Raymond, except that our loss was about. 200 and
that of the enemy from four to five hundred. It
is reported that we whipped the enemy very badly
at Edward’s Depot on Friday, and that wo cap
tured his immense wagon train. We have in
doubt of tHe truth of the report.
Wo can get nothing reliable as to the position of
the two armies, but we think it quite likely
Grant’s army will be totally destroyed before tin
end of this week.
—
Tobacco.—The Lynchburg Virginian of the loth
instant, says:
We believe that the stock of manufactured to
bacco in the Soutli is not nearly so large as lias
been supposed. In Augusta, Ga.—now the great
market since thb fall of New Orleans—we learn
from a reliable source that on Wednesday last
there was ascertained to he no inure than 15,020[!.(
boxes; whilst many supposed that the stock would
reach twice that amount. In Atlanta, as we learn
from the Confederacy, and also from a private
source, there were, on Tuesday last, 5,740 boxes,
though, it was supposed previously, that there
wore not less than JO,OOO boxes in that market.
We may, tllferefore,' reasonably expect an active
demand from that quarter by the first of July.
The price of leaf still keeps up here, and is rather
stiller now than for some weeks past. There is
more inquiry, also, and wo have every reason to
look font more active trade with advance prices
in manufactured ere long. We invite attention to
our market report to-day, as follows:
Our great staple which has been suffering for
the past mouth from the depression common to
nearly every article of commerce in this market,
is rallying again, and from the price obtained for
the raw article the past four or live days, aud yes
terday particularly, wo may soon look for an im
provement on prices current in February aud
March last.
Quite a number of hhds. of wrappers have been
sold at #1 to $1 DO per pound. Yesterday one
hlid. sold for $152 50 and was not choice. Tho
manufacturers are in want of fine workers and
wrappers, for such, fabulous prices could be ob
tained.
The Crops.—A letter from Etowah
says : “The very sight of our wheat fields
turns (he sigh of anxiety into a smile of
satisfaction. Our corn crops are very
encouraging. We have no notion of
starving.”
A letter from Crawfordsville, Ga., the
18th inst., says: “Our corn crops are
backward. The prospect for wheat to
the extent sown was never bettei'than
it is at this time, in this part of the Stale.
Very little cotton has been planted.
Plenty of corn in the county at !?2 per
bushel.”
—
Charleston. —The Providence (R. I.)
Press makes the subjoined statement,
which may or may not be intended na a
blind :
Wc learn from one who has been in a
position to know, that a second attack
on Charleston is not contemplated at
present. Furloughs are being granted
to officers and men in General Hunter’s
Department, and it seems to be the opin
ion of our informant that the extensive
fortifications around the hot-bed of se
cession are capable of successfully re
sisting a much kirger force than has ever
yet been gathered at Hilton Head.

1 u view of t he plea-ing tle-lu.-ion wbieti tho Ad*
ministration is now endeavoring to propagate; it
would he well perhaps 1 outline some ot the had
ing fads in this shott • ampaigu, from which the
reader rail draw ins own moral :
I. it is not true that Leo was surprise.! ci* de

Saturday it i clear (hat the Con federal e milifai y

allowed our army to cross, confident of t heir abili

Philadelphia Press, states that llooker was induced
to cross by the assurances ol his spies and •'-•♦uiis
that tlieonl) army to oppose him was one ol forty

J. The great cavalry laid, which was .in entire
success, did Genera! Hooker no good, because it
did not precede, instead of accompanying his
lciiiibit fint'niK had all arrived
bofoie tin* destruction of the railioa is and bridges.
To him this is now oniy a temporary inconven
ience. llad Hooker retained his cavalry’ w ith his
army, it would have been far hotter for him. lie
could have captured sever, i] thousand more pris
oners when Fredericksburg was taken, and. more
than all. could have prevented Jackson s surprise
of his flank aud rear. They might have clringeri
the complexion of the light.
!). General Hooker g division o t Ids army was as
disastrous in this instance, as have been nil >uch
in former military history. It is known that
General llallock utterly disapproved ol this dis
persion of the Union forces, and the result pn.ved
, that-in this case, at least, he was right. If Lee
had furnished Hooker with a plan, it could not
have been more (o his liking. He first hurled all
his forces upon Hooker and beat him : this was on
Saturday and Sunday', and then mi yionday lie re
possessed the heights of Fred rickshtirg, and drove
Sedgwick across the river, with the loss of one
third of his force. Thus Lee, with one great army,
beat tw'usmaller arm es in detail.
4. Tho buttles of Saturday and Sunday were in
disputable rebel victories, Ji3 tho enemy's attack
upon Sedgwick on Monday proved. The latter
was defeated almost before llooker s eyt* v , and the
latter could not even make a diversion to save
him. Lee and Jackson drove our army steadily
from point to point until it was crowded back up
o'n the soutli hank of the river. Our artillery—
which, according; to the rebel accounts, was splen
didly served —no doubt saved what rein,lined of
the army.
5. The retreat across the river, a cording to
Leo's dispatch to Jeff la vis, commenced on Sunday
night, and was in consequence of his signal victory'•
The Administration’s account is that it was com
menced on Tuesday night, simply as a matter of
precaution, on account of the storm and the rising
stream. Lee's account has all the known facts
and the probabilities on its side.
6. Gen. Hooker's statement ol his losses reads as
if it wits made by’ Gen. \V adsworth. lie says his
total loss, iu killed, wounded and missing, will not
he more than ten thousand men. it this be true,
there are several circumstances that need explain
ing badly. General Sedgwick alone, all accounts
agree, lost one-third his force, or about six thou
sand men. lint call it five thousand. The cap
ture of Fredericksburg, amt Hie storming of the
heights iu its rear on Sunday, lost, ns eight hun
dred men in killed and wounded. This would leave
but little over four thousand to have been killed,
wounded and captured in tho tremendous battles’
of Saturday and Sunday', when at the very least
one hundred and fifty thousand men metindeai y
conflict.
A correspondent of the Liverpool
Jouronl ol (’oojiiifciYe complain-) very
justly and indignantly of the Yankee
spies which infest Iliat (own and worm
their way into all places of business and
confidence, lie closes as follows ;
Even our own shipbuilders are not
allowed lo pursue (heir business without
interference and annoyance, as in the
case of (he liUle better (ban ferry boat,
built by Messrs. Miller, seized solely on
llie representation of one of those Fed
eral spies that he saw guns going on
board her. This, in our boasted land of
liberty, will surely rouse (he public lo
eilher drive these hirelings and llieir no
less disgraceful employers out of our
towns, or to teach them better manners.
• See how the Yankees have tried to get
popular opinion on (heir side by intro
ditcing Hie slavery question. Let. them
tree their own slaves before they declare
the slaves of other people free. Even
il honrxt old Abe” sees the card was a
bail one, and he has also had sense
enough lo refrain froht issuing lei I era of
marqtie. I should like to see the plucky
Yankee merchant who would take out a
letter of marque when he sees that Ihe
whole of the boasted Yankee fleet can
not capture two little gunboals not, larger
than Irish coasting steamers. Even the
Retribution, an old tugboat, is too many
for them. Look at Ihe respect paid lo
us in the Northern States. Every Yan
kee tongue belches out invectives against
us, and yet we heed it not; because wr
have been so long accustomed to let them
bully and vituperate us.
Surely tho time has now come for

of every hundred Englishmen have done
long since, viz: Fecognize the South.

Yankee Outrages near Suffolk.—

of Daniel Bird, with her little son, a boy
of twelve years of age, was driven from

would be allowed to save her furniture,
but after getting il out, ihe incarnate

treason discovered in hooker’s arm;
A correspondent of the lMiiladelpliia
Enquirer tells the following :
intelligence was received here to o.iy
of an important arrest at Falmouth, ike
headquarters of the army of the l'otem
ac. No doubt has existed for a long turn*
that the rebels have had some sccivt
means of knowing everything that trans
pired within our lines, and that such in
formation was instantaneously conveyed.
The orders of recent movements had
not reached the circumference of t!a
militavy circle formed hy our army be
fore the pickets on the opposite hank
were calling out, in mocking tones, “lion
are you, Yank ? Ain’t those eigh! du -
rations moldy yet? These tacts have
caused the deepest anxiety at head-pmr
ters, as until now the means adopted
by the rebels have bathed the vigilance
and labor expended to deiect them.
General l’alriok, the Frovost Marshal
of the army ot tbe Fotomac, was, Imw
ever, determined that the secret should
be brought to light. The guhtal Ma
tioned along the river bank ami iusitiia
tions favorable for signals have been
constantly enjoine-l to use ILo utni. i
care and watchfulness to discover aiM
expose the iniquitous sysleiii. ..
Yesterday their efforts were crowned
with success. One of the guards in the
town of Falmouth, stationed outside a
dwelling house adjoining the river Lam;,
heard a clicking like that of a telegraph
instrument. He advised his superior
officers, and was directed to enter the
house and investigate.
This was done, and on opening the
door he discovered a party ol four or me
persons, one ot whom was seated at a
telegraph instrument, senduig me.--age.-
by a submarine wire across the Rapp.
hanock. They were all arrested. Aja-i
and speedy punishment will, doubtless,
be at once meted out to them. This
punishment, according to the: laws of war,
is death.

thus it was that he and Halleok came
down to see Hooker and dissuade limi

obstinate and would make no change m
his plans, so Lincoln got gloomy, aud
Ilalleck got drunk, and Seward helped
him, and Abe joined in ; and when ike
news of Hooker’s defeat reached Ihera,
