DAIUiGBEitl’S OKUKKN.
The anxiety of the Federal press to
crawfish out of the business of plan
ning a military expedition to sack and
burn Richmond and murder President
Davis and Cabinet, surprises us. The
business, it is true, wafnoj; creditable;
hut no worse than what they are daily
attempting, and no more brutal or in
fernal than the war itself. What bet
ter spirit or principle is displayed in
the diabolical bombardment of Char
leston, carried on from day to day
without any conceivable military pur
pose and evidently for the sole object
of gratifying a develish malignity? It
is certain, however, that the Federals
are squirming and writhing over the
orders found in Dahlgren’s pocket—
some attempting to explain them away
alleging!
that they are entire or partial forge-1
l ies. The world, however, will soon j
have evi fence‘of the truth. The Rich- j

The Herald of the.lSth after tieating of
the total failure and prostration of the Jate
advances, and the consequent feeling of
depression and discouragement iu the
North, adds :
“but we enter the struggle under hope-
ann prayer,
gunge following, to wit :
“Reverently recognizing the Providence
of God in the affairs of men, and gratefully
remembering the guidance, support and
deliverance granted to our ]>at)iot fathers
in the memorable war which icsnlted in
the independence of the American Colonics,
and now reposing in' LIim our supreme
confidence and hope in the present struggle
for civil and religious freedom, and for the
right to live under a Government of our
own choice, and deeply impressed with
the conviction that without III in noth
ing is strong, nothing wise and nothing en
during; in order that the people of the
Confederacy may have the opportunity at
the same time, of offering their adoration to i
the great Sovereign of the Universe, of I
penitently confessing their sins and I
strengthening their vows and purposes of j
amendment in humble reliance upon His ;
gracious and almighty power.-
“The Congress of tbe Confederate States
of America do resolve, That it be recom
mended to the people of these States, that
Friday, the Sth day of April next, be set
apart and observed as a day of humiliation
fasting and prayer, that Almighty God
would so preside over our public counsels
and authorities ; that. He would so inspire
our armies and their leaders with wisdom,
courage and perseverance ; and so mani
fest Himself in the greatness of liis good
ness and majesty of His power, that we
may be safely and successfully led through
the chastening to which we are being sub
jected, to the attainment cf an honorable
peace ; so that while we enjoy the blessings
of a free and happy Government, we may
asscribe to Him the honor and the giory
of our independence and prosperity.”
A recommendation so congenial to the
feelings of the people will receive their
lieaitj- concurrence ; and it is a grateful
duty to the Executive to unite ’’with their
representatives in inviting them to meet
in the Courts of tlie Most High. Recent
events awaken fresh gratitude to the Su
preme Ruler of nations. Our enemies have
suffered repeated defeats, and-a nefarious
scheme to burn and plunder our capital,
and to destroy our civil Government by
putting to death the chosen servants of
the people, has been baffled and set at

Messrs Editors :
I Itave observed that the most ignorant !
be accounted for by the fact, that a man
devoid of a great blessing, by himself
knows not how to appreciate it—and fur
ther because his notions, views, and feel
ings, freed from educational expansion,
are burrowed amid the contracted, and sel
fish dispositions of his ignoble nature. 1
have often thought that people who would
willfully deprive their children, of an edu
cation, and subject them to the injustice,
outrage and reproach, of ignorance, were
devoid of natural affection, and brutalized
in tlieir natures. Ifthere ever was a time
that should prompt parents to constant
and zealous efforts, in the education cf
their children that time is now. A prac
tical, thorough, and useful education,
should be given them, at whatever cost.—

disregard this great interest, are worse

all his money nt poker. (Tago allers

enulf to carry out liis unprincipled
skeem. Mike Cassio, a Irishman, is
selected as a too! by Iago. Mike was
a clever feller, & officer in Otheller’s
army. He liked his tods too well,
however, and they floored him, as they
have many other promisin young men.
Iago injuces Mike to drink with him,
Iago slyly throwin his wisky over his
shoulder. Mike gits as drunk as a
biled owl, & allows that he can lick a
yard full of the-Venesshun fancy be

He meets Roderigo and proceeds for to
smash him. A feller named Montano
undertakes to slap Cussio, when that
infatooated person runs his sword into
him.
That miserable man, Iago, pretends
to be very sorry to see Mike conduck
himself in this way, and undertakes
to smooth the thing over to Otheller,
who rushes in with a drawn sword and
wants to know what’s up. Iago cun-
iiinly tells his story, and Otheller teils
Mike that he thinks a good deal of him
but that he cant train no more in his
regiment. Desdemony sympathises
with poor Mike and intercedes for him

finally smothers her to deth with a pil-

that he has*been orfully gulled by Iter

Who will quarrel with such sentiments,
or charge that a State which does its whole

is the cry which the usurpers of power
have ever raised against those who rebuke
their encroachments and refuse to yield to
their aggressions.”
The telegraphic summary of Gov.
Brown’s Message inclined us to believe
that he was disposed to raise a useless
quarrel with the Agency at Richmond.—
But a perusal of the Message as printed in
full in the Georgia papers, satisfies us that
his aim is solely to point out the departures
of the administration from the right path,
and to give his people timely warning of
rlie tendency to consolidation which the
pressure of war has forced almost into the
organic structure of the government.—
Ohsta prineipiis is a motto no less good in
politics than in medicine, and it is well
for a State in its Sovereign capacity to j
throw itself in the path of Executive and
administrative encroachments it this early
stage of our Confederate existence, and
even while the war is pending. Opposit
ion less formidable would be worthless.—
Newspaper articles avail nothing. The
cause has no sturdier friend,and the Agen
cy, except as to its encroachments, no
stauncher ally than Governor Brown.
Richmond Whig.
The people are most critical in
those sections which have seen least of

humility, whilst prosperity make us very

smoothes the rough places of life, makes
tbe disposition as sweet and rosy as a fresh
maiden’s kiss, scatters sunshine and flow
ers wherever wo go, gives the world a
round, jolly countenance, makes ali the

“Jury,” said a Western judge, “you
kin go out and find a verdict. If you
can’t find one of your own, get the one
tbe last jury used.” They returned a
verdict of suicide in the ninth degree.
M bek.nkss.— How difficult it is fo be of
a meek and forgiving spirit, when despile-
fully used. To love an enemy,and forgive
an evil speaker, is a higher attainment than
is commonly believed. It is easy to talk
of Christian forbearance among neighbors,
but to practise it ourselves, proves us to
be Christians indeed. The surmises of
a few credulous persons need not trouble
that man, who knows his cause is soon to
be tried in court, and he openly acquitted.
So the evi! language of the tunes do not dis
turb me, since in the day of judgement,
“my judgment shall be brought, forth as
the noon-day.”
Industry.—’There is no «rt or science
that is too difficult for industry to attain
to ; it is the gift of tongues, and makes a
man understood and valued in all conn-
tries and by all nations ; it is the pbiloso
pher’s stone, ibat turns all metals, and
even stones, into gold, and suffers nut want
to break into its dwelling ; it is the north
west passage, that btings the merchant’s
ship as noon to him as lie can desire. In
a word, it conquers all enemies, and makes
fortune itself pay contribution.
A New Expedition bv Burnside.—
Thu telegram founded upon New York pa
pers of the 21st, says Burnsides is concen
trating fifty thousand men for a second
expedition south from Annapolis. Fed
eral papers of the IStli were also full of
it. A Harrisburg telegram of tbe I7th
says :
General Burnside and Hancock wore
handsomely received by both Houses of
tho-Legislature to-day. This afternoon,
they reviewed, in company with Gov.
Curtiu, the 45th, 4Sth, 50th and 55th reg
iments are under marching orders for An
napolis, where General Burnside's corps
concentrates. General B. evic^ntly goes
to North Carolina again.
Wattery Potatoes.—We every day
hear complaints about wattery potatoes. '
But into a pot a piece of litno as large as
a ben’s egg, and how wattery soever tho
potatoes may have been, when the water
is poured off, they will bo perfectly dry

FROM LOUISIANA.
Wc copy the following from the Mobile
Advertiser & Register oflast Sunday.
Louisiana We understand that a copy
of the New Orleans Era, brought by tho
truce boat to Panscagoula. claims that the
Federal gunboat fleet has reached and
taken the city of Alexandria. The au
thority of the Era is beltyv par for facts,
but if the river was up we suppose it a
possible feat.
We learn that official dispatches have
been received, confirming the report of the
Yankee defeat at Franklin. Wc learn no
particulars.
1'iie “defeat of.Franklin” is the severe
repulse near New Iberia” mentioned in tbe
dispatch from Richmond yesterday, iu
which two Federal Regiments were re
ported captured. The capture of Alex
andria by the Yaukees is confirmed bjfctho
Baltimore American, in a dispatch also
published in yesterday's telegraph. The
Register also publishes the following dis
patch from the Era, alluded to :
fc'rom the Extra New Orleans 17th inst.
THE CAMPAIGN IN LOUISIANA.
Capture of Fort Dc Russy and Alexandria.
Three Hundred Prisoners Taken.
Wo hasten to lay before our readers
the following entirely authentic intelli
gence.
Official information has been received
at Department Headquarters of the cap
ture of Fort De Russy, on Red River, by
tbe United States forces, ander Gen. A.
G. Smith.
Twenty-three officers and three hun
dred rank and file are prisoners.
They arc on their way to New Or
leans.
Since receiving the above, we bavo
learned the following additional particu
lars :
Fort De Russy was captured on the
I4th inst., by assault, at 6 o’clock :n tbe
evening. Ten siege guns were taken.
Our gunboats artived just after the cap
ture.
Alexandria was captured by the navy
on the 15th.
A Brillinni Achirvuirnl by Elate .Tlilitia.
We arc informed by a gentleman from
North Alabama that on the night of the
13th inst., two companies of State militia
commanded respectively, by Captains
Henry Smith, ot Jackson county, and
Samuel Henry, of Marshall county, com
prising 70 men, crossed tho Tennessee
river about Guntcrsville in quest of the
Yankees. On the next day, 14th, they
surprised a camp of about one hundred
Yankees and succeeded in killing five and
capturing fifty-nine with their horses,
arms and accoutrements, and all their
stores. They brought the prisoners and
tho balance of their captures safely to
this side of the liter. The lankees killed,
were killed by ^ur men with the butt
ends of their muskets, as they could not
get them logo off. Our los» was one kill
ed, a private named Mo&rc, and one. woun
ded, Captain Henry-. Our tnen exchanged
their old uuiiorms aud arms for those cap
tured, and now have Spencer ritlts of the
best quality-. This gallant achievement
was accomplished by- “oielish” who had
been laughed at and of whom it had been
sueeringJy- said that they would run at tho
first fire. All honor to them, and may
wo hear of similar exploits by tl.e State
militia wherever tbo foul invader makes
his appearance.
