Our K.omm’nand Gainti. Sweet are the uses of adver.ftity. Let u? consider them. That the southern penjde lose much hy the war is evident: that they gain much is equally certain if not so evi dent. “One benefit of every war,” so said the quaint Timothy Tftcomh, “is the saving of a large crop ot young men.” The future power and glory of the country rest on hei young men. War school? them to labor, to discipline, to hardship. Fopa and exquis ite? do not wait on lit Ilona, bur brave, hard handed, sun-browed men. Fine clothes, gold headed canes, hair grease, aud scented hankerehiefs are not the fashion now; but stout and ‘itnple attire, the heavy musket, the tin canteen, and leather straps. Light wheeled buggies, behind “2.40” trotters, give way to lumbering artillery wagons, with caiiunn and caisons. What a change ! The rations of camp-stool and the camp-bed, the sentinel watch and the soldier’s march— these nourish men. The high resolve, the patriotic thoughts, the unselfish daring and doing of war, are favorable to a noble devel opment of character. The prospect was not flattering a few years ago. Luxury and soft ness were corrupting us, and our sons were i growing up very spindling plauts in their youth. The muscle* and bone, aid blood of the forefathers, who stood the brunt of ’7O, and subsequently conquered the country from wild Indians and wilds beasts, were running very low. Simple manners, ’ and plain tastes, and vigorous pursuits come again. The fodder crop has been lost, but we shall save a large crop of young men. The daughters also share the beuefit of the 1 present adversity. Arrayed in muslins aud lace, they had well nigh been worked off into “angelic creatures hut now there is a prospect of real women, in homespun.— Old-fashioned spinning-wheels and looms are seen again. Had their advent been de layed a few years longer, none would have been found to teach their use. Thousands of young ladies, who had grown up without knowing how to linger a knitting-needle, are making socks for the soldiers. Patching and weaving, making new garments out of old ones, dispensing with “a love of a bon net” for each of the four seasons—these are being learned. Godey’s fashion plates are not inquired after. The delicate sippers at Java coffee are satisfied with Rio, and devi sing means to eke out that with parched meal, okra, and ryo-o Paris slippers and Philadelphia boots, with consumptive soles, are disappearing before hotue-nianufacturcd foot gear. In fact, the necessities of war and the self-denial of the blockade are for cing reforms on us—personal and social— which have long been desired, but none bad the courage to inaugurate. We were going too fast, and self-indulgence was eating away the manhood and womanhood of the nation. The oreed for gain has been checked. A long, enervating, prosperous peace was ma king us a mercenary, money-worshipping people. Great principles were not cherish ed : the popular mind had lost sight of them. Our solid men were very timid of an y sharp, well-defined assertion of right, lest it should make a fuss that, would hurt trade, and send stocks down, and interrupt the Pacoliau stream that was pouring wealth in to their coffers. The spirit of the nation needed toning up. The price of liberty had well nigh been forgotten. The pulse of patriotism was languid. Statesmen had been crowded out by politicians, and these were doing a huckstering business—corrupt and coirupting. The body politic is getting it. Witness the number of incapable public men who have gone under ; of timid, selfish, time serving, small-great men who have been or dered to back seats. Competent and honest public servants are appreciated in this hour, and another lease has been secured to constitutional freedom. Is there no com pensation for our troubles in this general awakening of principle and patriotic senti ment, ? We lose many pleasures by being no lon ger one nation with the North. For in stance, we lose the chance of spending sixty millions of dollars every year in travelling about their hotels and watering-places, and taking their impudence. We lose the chance of sending our children to Yank** schools, at five millions of dollars annually there to be taught that Boston is the hub of the universe, and the Puritans were the sum of all perfection. Wc lose the bargain of getting tainted school-books and general rea ding, at a few cents cheaper than newly aroused Southern enterprise can furnish what is sound. We lose the refined society of \ ankee school-masters, and pedlars, and sore-throat agents for all sorts of associations, who used to visit us, enjoy our hospitality, fleece us handsomely, write abusive letters back, and then, after making a pile, take themselves back to the North. ‘J he profession of teaching—al wayslionor ablc, but not sufficiently honored —will rise in public estimation ; and Southern youth, male and female, will be brought, up and de voted to it, in supply to suit the demand. All the mechanic arts will rise in public estimation. The nasal-twanging, abolition bred rats have loft the ship. The mechan ic arts were held by too many at the level of their character —a sly, sharp, slippery gener ation. The good, the worthy, the true, who came from that region, are with us still by a natural affinity. All welcome to them ! Families of wealth and ambition will no lon ger be shut up to a few prof ssions for their sons, but all the field of mechanic arts is open for honorable competition. The man who can help realize and maintain our inde pendence in all departments of industry, w ill he gratefully acknowledged as a public bene factor, and as the peer of the best. Frank lin will again be printer, Roger Sherman shoemaker, and Fulton an Engineer. The institution of domestic slavery is be ing put by this war in its true light before the world. Not as an element of national weakness, but strength, it will hereafter be counted. While the ruling raee go forth to war, the servile till the land and raise the staples of subsistence and commerce in the usual quantity. The North verily thought that slave insurrections would break out simultaneously with the war. This was their rod of terror over us, their boast, and final resort —they would raise insurrections, or rather, they would give an opportunity, and strvile insurrections would be general and spontaneous. Horrid pictures they drew, and uttered horrid prophecies. North ern aud England philanthropists did not know, they could not be made to understand | the tenure q( domestic sUvery—the real re* latiou between the master and the servant — etween the white and the black races.— vVell % the war has been goiug on long on ugh to convince them that all their calcu lation? were cast i:i error. Since t icaboli ionists that were am mg us have been soared >ut and driven oil, the negroes have boon juieter than ever. There has not been a dngle neighborhood insurrection in the grain, the cotton, or the sugar plantations, nofwith itandiug a very lurg • proportion of the male white population has been withdrawn todif erent and distant seats of war. The wo nen and children and the old m.*u slo-p idtely with open doors, and their slaves pray that their masters may whip their enemies, in 1 come homo again. .Many slaves were taken by their masters as body servants to the war. and we have not heard of a single ease of desertion or treachery. Indeed, not i few of them have made their abolition friends bite the dust, or driven them into •amp as captives. From all qoar ers, the information is that the slaves of the South never were more obedient, cheerful, and gov ernable than now, and the abundant har vests attest that they have not been idle.— The worshippers at Faneuil and Exeter Halls must open their eyes to facts maugre their theories. They will he the wiser by this experiment, and the world will be wiser tnd domestic slavery, as it exists in those Con federate States, will be politically, social ly, and morally vindicated ; while the wealth, the courage, and the prowess of the States, where it constitutes the basis of agricultural labor, will demand for it not only toleration ibroad, hut a respect that has not been awar ded. The South itself his never realized this property to be so secure as the erpe.rimen turn bHi has proved it. This fact will be a better protection against the tampering and machi nitious of a pragmatic phi'antbropy, than rite fugitive slave law has ever been. The business of the underground railroad is up. Slaves will be let alone, and the power of doing mischief through them will not enter into the calculations of our enemies. And anew era dawns on the slave, as on slavery. Freed from the irritation and pes tiferous agitations of abolitionists, masters can dcve’op the system kindly, aud into its c unplete patriarchal proportions. On the other hand, the withdrawal of the South from the broken league of the Union is the death-blow to abolitionists in the North.— The people there, with their mills and fac tories half ruined, their great cities and sea ports half abandoned —the main source of their wealth and trade cut off—may look upon the croaking crew, and say, “We have you to thank for all this.’’ This blocksde is doing for us great things. If it last long wc shall have been put fairly in the way of developing all our resources.— Heretofore we have been content to know and cultivate but a few of them. Says a North Carolina paper, refering to the stop page of quinine—“We have in our materia medica plenty of substitutes. Let the qui nine stay out. It will be worth a ten years’ blockade to get back to the good old days of ginseng and boneset, of snakcroot and hore hound.” The loss of the Northern pictorials and penny papers and monthlies, and the issues of their novelets and quartos need not he la mented. Instead of a reading we were be coming a gormandizing and a smattering people. The public taste was being vitia ted. The tricks of trade and the greed of publishers was pushing the book market up on a surfeited and dyspeptic public mind.— Fewer books, well selected and well read, give more mental health, depth, and strength. Now, we have leisure to read the old au thors, to consult the standards. “I have read” remarked a gentleman to his friends the other day, “I have read more solid, use ful books within the last six months than the last six years.” This haste to keep up with the last advertised volume, and glan cing over its pages or reading by the title page is for the present at an end. The grain of centuries of thought is no longer over laid by the chaff; and the mental tone of our people will be the sounder and our lit erature the better for this loss of sensation papers and books. These reflections might be extended, for we are looking out upon a grand future ; but we propose not to discuss the general benefits of an independent, homogeneous South—only to indicate a few of the present blessings offsetting the present tribulation. One other point—the dreadful civil war along the border that is to seperate between the Northern and Southern governments.— What considerations can reconcile us to this state of things—families divided, neighbors adhering to different sjdcs, and driving each other out and fruitful fields turned into bloody battle-grounds. This would seem to be a necessary ordeal, if the Lord intends us really to he two peoples, and to develope us, aide by side, into great nations, represen ting, as all great nations do, different ideas and conserving different trusts. Man can not make a tree—much less a forest. Nei ther can he make a great nation. Certain natural processes must be gone through which are beyond the power or wisdom of man. There is no gulf of water or barrier of mountain between us and them ; so there must he one of sentiment. Had Maryland and Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, by a majority vote, promptly withdrawn from the old Union —with the original seven Cotton States—the separation would not have been marked, final, complete. They might have gone hack again. Such a division would have left many Northern sympathizers on this side of the line, and many Southern sympathizers on that side. Hut the exhaus ted forbearance of these States, and the in fatuated despotism of the old government works a thorough and deep-seated sentiment. The hot iron burns the indelible mark.— The war chariot grooves the border earth with an ineffaceable dividing line. The friends of the North go to them—the friends of the South come to us, and so the elements of each are hon.oieneous. The proceeds of disintegration and each seeking it ß ° wn by affinity may be severe, but is it wft necessa ry in the nature of things ? Nature does not stickle at inflicting short and sharp pains to secure great and permanent results. .

We must needs enter the future and lasting good through pretest and momentary suffering. Great national adjust ments take place slowly. Greater evils and longer than any yet endured may await us.

From the Richmond Dispatch. •’ay of j!niu. We suppose that the first act of the Con federate Congress establishing the office of chaplain, and fixing the pay of that officer, was intended to make suitable provision for the spiritual wants of the soldiers, as is done in the T nited States and every army of the old world. It is true, the pay was not large --not as large even as that in the service of \ irginia and North Carolina, which States paid their chaplains a hundred and fifty dol lars a month. The Confederate Congress fixed the pay at, SBS per month, or $1,020 a year. This amount, however, was accepted by many clergymen, some of them eminent men in their vocation, having large families dependent upon them, in the spirit of self sicrifice universal in the South, who gave up much larger salaries and the comparative ease of ordinary ministerial duties, for the hardships and labors of camp life. It was barely possible, at tie high rate <,f living prevailing throughout the couutrv, for a gentleman to support a family on this amount in the rural districts, and quite im possible in a city. But what shall be said of the last act of Congress reducing this in adequate salary, but little more than half the salary of chaplains under the Virginia and North Carolina Government, to the piti ful sum of fifty dollars a month, or six hun dred dollars a year ? We are not surprised to learn that this last act—which might be entitled “An act to abolish the office of chaplain in the Confederate Army” —has been followed by the resignation of some of the most valuable chaplains in the service— gentlemen of high character, solid learning, and every way qualified for their responsible j positions; but who, of course, find it utterly | impossible, if they would keep their wives and children out of the almshouse, to retain I their present positions. We take it for granted that, in establish ing this oflice, the Confederate Government intended in good faith to recognize the real spiritual necessities of humanity, especially in an army, where men are exposed to great trials of mind and body, and are in the con stant presence of death. Every Government in the world appreciates the powerful influ ence of religion in exalting the human soul, in inspiring it to duty, in making it to dis dain danger and welcome death, rather than sacrifice principle and duty. Even the false faith of Mahomet soldiers a desperation of valor which they could have acquired from no other source, and the fan aticism of the Roundheads gave them a de gree of military vigor and persistency to which most of their successes in the field may be attributed. We find the descendants of these people endeavoring to revive and invigorate that source of the strength of their forefathers, and actually republishing for the use of their own volunteers Oliver Cromwell’s selections from the Holy* Scrip tures. Surely, at such a time, we should uot diminish the efficiency of the religious element in our own army, even if we look at it only 7 as a means of giving increased vigor and energy to our arms. It is a “ penny wise and pound foolish” policy so to reduce the clerical salaries as to compel the most valuable of the married clergy to leave the army. There will be scores of men compelled to resign, under this reduction, whom it would be economy to retain at double the first amount. Who can estimate the value to the morals and happi ness of a regiment of a highly educated and high-minded gentleman, whose experience and character will enable him to he the “ guide, counsellor and friend” of the thou sand young and impulsive spirits by whom he is surrounded ? What parent with a sou, in such a regiment, would grudge the inap- ‘ preciable increase of taxation which would be necessary to ensure his sou an experienced ; guardian and sympathizing friend in battle, ‘ and a faithful minister at the bed of disease and death ? In other respects, services can be rendered by chaplains of intelligence and character, which, without reference to their clerical duties, would be worth the whole amount of their salaries. They could visit the hospi tals, and exercise that supervision and super intendence there which is impossible for the attending phjsieian, whose time is sufficient ly occupied in making prescriptions, to pre vent them from performing any other duty. The chaplain’s daily presence in these insti tutions would not only be a source of inex pressible satisfaction and comfort to those brave men, whose hearts have been opened by the hand of disease and the hazard of death to spiritual ministration, but any neg lect of their phys.cal comfort, and, whorse than neglect, any harsh and brutal treatment, would never he attempted in the face of a watchful, influential, and systematic visita tion. All these considerations sustain the policy as well as justice of restoring the pay of chaplains to its former rate, the only one which will coinmauu the services of clergy men, having families to support, who are competent to perform the duties. Wc have uot dwelt upon the subject in its purely re ligious aspect; but, if the ministry are, in deed, ‘‘ambassadors of Heaven,” it is scarcely consistent with the memorable and emphatic recognition by Congress of the interposition of the Divine Power in our behalf in every victory and in every event of this contest, to manifest its gratitude by deputing His rep resentatives of their daily bread. We may add that in a nation, one fourth of wbose population are professors of religion, and an army having iu it a larger proportion of reli gious men than any other army iu the world, public sentiment will universally sustain the course of justice and of policy which we advocate. ti®* The total population of the State of Alabama according to the census of 1800, is VOLUME XXXIX—NO 28.

God forbid that we should boast more in “ pike and gun” than in “ taitli and prayer. “ Them that honor nu b l w >lj honor; but they that depiso me, shall be lightly esteemed.” By all means, Let us keep God our ally.” The late Confederate Congres, however, seems to have held a very different estimate. ae think the Honorable Gentleman deemed religion a matter of little moment, especially in the army. 1 commend their action on this subject to the consideration of . r - Naif, and hope ho will write an article in tae next Advocate lor their benefit, let him ask them why they reduced the Cimp tains pay to silty dollars a month. Was not eighty-five dollars’ worth of religion lit tle enough for a regiment of a thousand meu? Can they do with fifty dollars’ worth ? Will that sum of money find and clothe a Clu p lain, equip him for his work, and leave any thing for his family ? If they say “ Single men will do for Chaplains,” Bro. Naff can tell them that few single men are ordained ministers; and in the army, if any where, we need those who are qualified to administer the Christian ordinances. If they sav “ Re trenchment somewhere was absolutely ueees sary,’ Bro. Naff can ask tlumwhy the bur den should lull entirely upon the V haplains; why other commissioned officers should not bear a portion ot it, unless “ faith and prayer” were deemed less important than “ pike and gun ? li they say “ f l he clergy can afford to make sacrifices in such a cause,” Bro. Naff cau reply that the goodness of the cause is the very reason why it should be liberally sustained by the governeneut; that poor Chaplaines can no better afford to make sacrifices than rich Colotiels and Captains, and that most men prefer that their sacrifices should be voluntary, and not constrained.— These two questions, especially, I desire Bro. Naff to urge with emphasis : First. Why is a Chaplain worth less to us than to our enemies ( Have we less need of religion, less need of “ faith and prayer,” less weed of “God for our ally?” And if Lincoln can afford to pay his false prophets $l3O a month the Confederate Congress can ass rd to pay our Chaplains more that fifty ? Secondly. Why are the services of a cler gyman worth less in the army than in the pastoral w r ork at home ? Are his labors le 8 arduous ? Are not his privations and perils greater ? Do our young men need his min istrations less hi the camp and the field than they did at home ? Are their dangers and temptations less than they were at home ? are their moral character and spiritual wel fare less important than they were at home? is there any position in which a faithful man of God can do more service to the souls of his fellow-men ? “ I trow not.” Several of our army Chaplains, 1 under stand, deeming their sacred office depreciated, have resolved on resigning their places. A 1 am not of that number, I feel myself £fc liberty to talk ; and having freed my mind, I feel better. Yet there is one Scripture that troubles me : “ Tic that provided) not for his own household is worse than an infi del.” Members of Congress and of tiie State Legislature. The people manifest very little interest iu the approaching elections—owing, doubtless, to the all-absorbing interest iu the pending struggle of our country for independence. We consider it a matter of very great im portance that we begin right in the new Government. The people now for the first time, have an opportunity to be represented in the Confederate Congress. It is due to themselves that they elect the right sort of Representatives—men who will eschew all partyism and labor honestly for the interest of tho country . To secure such men, it is necessary that all party hacks—all representatives of cor rupt cliques —and more especially, all who have been connected with the “ old hulk” shall be laid upon the shelf. We want new men—we want pure men—those who look alone to the interest of their country have nothing else to serve. Time-serving dema gogues, who sought their own aggrandize ment, and preferred party to country , having ruined the old Government, let us have nothing to do with such cattle in future. — Give us netc nmu—give u spare men ! What we say of Representatives in Con gress is equally applicable to the state Legis lature and all Representative men. Let us have a thorough reform. Without it, we shall have gained nothing, however victori ous our arms may be iu the field of battle. Conquering our enemies will be a small matter, unless we conquer our prejudices and put down party spirit. Let us then have no uiore party, or bioken down party hacks 1 — Athens Watchman. lion. John Forsyth, writing from Mont gomery to the Mobile Advertiser and Regis ter, says : There is a story afloat that some of the troops arriving at Richmond wore furnished with flint muskets, and they were greatly disgusted at the inefficiency of their arms.— Jeff. Davis met one of them said: “You complain of your arms. All the great bat tles of modern times were fought with such arms. Our owu revolution, and the revolu tion of 1812, were accomplished with flint and steel, and in the Mexican war, only one regiment out of ten had percussion muskets. If you don’t like this arm, I can tell you how to get better. The first time you get into a fight kill a Yankee soldier and take bis gun. This is the best way to get what you like.’’ The argument was unanswera ble, and the soldier went on his way rejoic ing, determined to win a percussion gun.
