From the Southern Christian
Twilight Prayer fur our Country*
B Y L KOI. A .
’TG a holy hour! Those drimsen shades
That gather in the W r e3t,
Are Vespers who9e low call unites
The good, the pure, the blest.
Above, there shines a chastened light,
Heaven nearer, fairer seems,
The world departs, a brighter hope
Within the spirit gleams.
Oh ! dear is sunlight’s merry glance,
And beautiful its Howers,"
Rut dearer still the sacred thoughts
01 twilight’s dreamy hours !
’Tis then I wander o’er the hills,
In silence and alone,
While fancy robes each childhood scene
In colors all her own.
I g'tze upon the autumn leaves,
That thick around me lie,
And breath a warm, true prayer for those
W ho far away must die!
The fearless ones that stem the tide
Approach its wildest wave,
And sudden wrecked—oh, may they find,
that lile beyond the .grave.
My country ! many fervent prayers
For thee, sweet land, arise,
Each silent eve, and wing their way,
Beyond the star-lit skies.
Let every Southron heed the hour—
. We need no chime of bell
The “still small voices” in our hearts
Announce the holy spell.
And woman of all others, then,
Should hear the Vesper call,
For on her country’s shrine are placed
Her hopes, her treasures—all!
And little children too should leave
Awhile the careless play,
E'dt up their silent thoughts to Heaven—
God loves to. hear them pray.
Oh ! Father, heed our anguised cry,
Put forth thy mighty hand,
And hush the deafening thunder’s roar—
God, save our beauteous land,
Drive back the foul invading foe,
Their evil plans undo,
Show them their grievous wrongs to ns,
“ They lao)D not vehcit they do."
And give us Peace and Liberty ,
Their worth is priceless now,
Let universal love illume
Each Southern patriot’s brow ;
Make ours a land that feareth Thee
A land of virtues fair,
Teach us to breathe each twilight hour,
Our gratitude in pruver.
Upson county, Ga.
“T U E Pro VI RIO NAL Go VERNOR’ 'of i\ORTII
Carolina.— A Slatterns correspondent of
the Boston Traveller thus describes the pur
suits of the Governor appointed by the sand
bar Convention to exercise jurisdiction over
1 lie districts of the State occupied bv the
Fcdeial army :
We also passed a small church in which
wo were told the Governor of North Caroli
na preaches regularly. Start not- at this
announcement. The fact is susceptible of
an easy explanation. It will be ren.tcpibered
that a few weeks ago a handful of the pro
fessedly loyal people of this region held a
Convention and attempted to organize a loy
al Provisional Government. A Rev. Mr.
Taylor, who is represented as a sort of Par
son Brownlow, was chosen Governor, and
here is the church in which ho officiates.—
It- is a onejstory, unpainted, dilapidated look
ing affair as we have seen for many a day.
Half its panes were gone, it had no pews,
only iough board seats, the pulpit was a
mere square box, while the floor was covered
with filth. Reverence for the sanctuary
seems not remarkably well developed at Hat
teras. With the Parson, who aspires to gu
bernatorial hop ora, vyo bad not the good for
tune to meet. If his appearance corres
ponds with that of his church, we could not
consider ourselves peculiarly unfortunate.
A writer closes his letter with the follow
ing
Write to the Soldiers. —Could I thro’
your paper peu a sentence that would reach
effectually every southern reader who may
have a relative, a friend or acquaintance in
the army, that sentence would be write to
the soldiers. There are many of them far
from home, among strangers, and enduring
every toil and privation for their country. —
A line or a word will nerve their hearts, and
cheer them on. Go to our crowded post-of
fice as I go. See the war-worn soldier’s
anxiety as he asks for a letter; see him get
it, eagerly break the seal aud read the pen
tracings of loved ones at home. Often I’ve
seen the lip tremble, the eve dilate and even
the tear glisten, as line upon line was read.
Some father, mother, sister or wife, or sweet
heart has sent him words of cheer. You
can see him grasp his weapon tighter, care
fully fold his letter, and, with a firmer tread
and more elastic spirits, return to duty. On
the other hand, look at the bitter, cruel,
stinging disappoinement of the soldier who,
day after day, goes for an expected letter,
aud finding none, turns away with saddened
heart, feeling that no ouc cared for him.—
Again let me say write to the soldiers.
A Disaster Foretold. —The correspon
dent of the Gharleston Mercury says Gen.
Wise, before he left Richmond, said “he
was going to Roanoke Island as the shortest
way to Fort Warren.” Fortunately for the
General, he was confined to his bed at Nag’s
Head on the day of the tight, and was saved
the anticipated journey northward.
Judge Iverson Declines.— Hon Al
fred Iverson , in a communication to the
Tnnes , announces that he is not a candidate
tor the Executive appointment as Senator
in the Confederate Congress—that he is not
now, aud never expects to be again, a can
didate for office. A portion of the Judge’s
letter is devoted to a review of some differ
ences between himself and some of his old
party friends, and he claims that time has
proved the correctness of his positions.
Farming.
One of our friends, residing in Bossier
parish, working only four or five hands, du
ring the past year, raised two hundred bush
els of peas for sale, four thousand pounds of
pork, besides having enough for his own
plantation use—Corn on*-uuh to last full two
years, and about one hundre i ami fifty bales
ot cotton potatoes, turnips and vegetables
of almost every kind in great abundance.—
1 he spinning wheel was heard rattling away
iu his cabins, preparing to clothe the family.
1 hat’s the way for planters to do.—Shreve
port So nth irestern.
Such facts as these show conclusively how
easily the South can* become self-sustaining,
if her farmers will go about the business fu
a practical and common sense wav, and in
stead ot planting cotton, relying upon so
reign sources for everything else, will do as
this farmer in Bossier parish has done, and
grow everything in the shape of produce,
edibles of all kinds which are required eith
er by themselves or the people of the towns
aud cities. The farmers of the South ought
hereafter to supply the cities of the South
with provisions—meat, flour, butter, cheese,
corn, oats, potatoes of both kinds, onions,
limits and dried traits of all sorts, and vege
tables of every description. The supply
ought to be abundant and inexhaustable.—
1 he variety may be made extensive, and the
quality of many of the articles may be
greatly improved.
ibe means of the farmers to accomplish
this object are as varied aud extensive almost
as they can desiro. Our bountiful soil and
dlightful climate are unsurpassed, but neith
er has been taken advantage of heretofore
to anything like its full capacity. Two
crops of many kinds of edibles may be
made in a year, where only one has hith
erto been. ’1 his is an important considera
tion. Ju Haranna, roasting-ears are had
the year round. Nearly the same result
could be obtained in Louisiana. The same
principle will apply, more or le&s, to various
other crops. Potatoes, which we have re
ceived chiefly from the West, and for which
WO pay a high price, can be grown in all the
Southern States as well, and we are assured
innj' be planted nearly, if not quite, every
monthm the year! Yet our farmers have
contented themselves with planting a few
about Christmas, and then holding up till
the next Christmas, from the more force of
habit.
All the more delicate luxuries of the gar
den we can cultivate upon a scale far more
extensive and varied than is practical in the
North. Me can produce in the open air,
and artificial aids, fruits aud vege
tables which arc grown in colder climates
only by the mast toilful and expensive pro
cesses. Our citizens have been laboring un
der the hallucination that we must bring
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and even Bos
ton, in hermetically sealed cans and jars,
asparagus, strawberries, etc , etc., or go with
out them ! The truth is, we can cultivate
them almost everywhere in the South, upon
every hill side and valley much more easily
than they can be in the North with the re
quisite care, energy and resolution. Who
that has seen the strawberry markets of Phil
adelphia and New York, in the hitter part
of June, has not longed to see such sights
in New Orleans, Savannah,. Mobile, etc.? —
Yet how many have thought it really quite
impossible ! But facts prove that it is quite
practicable, nothing in fact is more easy.—
Anew leaf is. about to be turned over we
trust and believe. Wo are beginning to find
out what we can do, a secret that it has taken
a long time to learn. — I\. (). Bulletin.
A Solemn Crisis. —-The South is now on
trial before the civilized world. The North
has bent its bow and whetted its sword, and
declares the South shall no longer exist as a
nation of freemen; shall no longer call their
land and homes and property their own.—
The South musters her brave sons to resist
ance. Preparations are about complete.—
The clash of arms, the shock of armies will
soon be heard. It is a solemn hour. If we
rout the dark-hearted foe now and put him
to overwhelming defeat all along our bor
ders, he cannot rally: his fate is sealed irre
vocably. Before lie can rally again, we will
lie a recognized nation, and will have our
ports open, cotton gone, arms coming in,
credit and money plenty, and we will be
twice as formidable as we ever have been.—
That will be “the situation” after victory.
But victory must first come. Oh, let it come.
By every dear interest of this great land—
by every brave heart—by every strong arm,
let it come. The public cannot be too much
penetrated with the momentousness of the
hour. The coming struggle should know no
retreat, no repulse, no wavering in ranks,
nothing but a victor’s palm or a soldier’s
grave. We abjure our soldiery to lofty cour
age, to deeds of daring which reck not of de
feat, and we call upon our countrymen at
home to be ready to take the places of the
fallen —Nashville Banner of Peace.
Parson Brownlow.— The Memphis Av
alanche of the sth iuts., says :
Parson Brownlow s case may be briefly
stated, lie desired to go North, but before
he was ready, he was takeu sick. He was
arrested to protect him from violence. He
still continues sick at his own house, beiug
too unwell to be removed. When he recov
ers he will probably be suffered to depart
“to the other side of Jordan,” together with
his family. He can do no harms there to
our cause, while his presence among us
might do injury.
£2§TTwo guuboats were reported yesterday to
have been seen near the entrance of Georgetown
Bay. They were, probably, reconnoitering.—
Charl«9t<?H J/Vrcury, 1 •
General Jolnislon a Address
Headq’rs Bee t of Northern Ya., )
February 4, 180*2. \
Soldiers ! our country again ealls you
to the defence of the noblest of human cau
ses. To the indomitable courage already ex
hibited on the battle-field, you have added
the rarer virtues of high endurance, cheerful
obedience, and self-sacrifice. Accustomed
to the comforts and luxuries of home, you
have met and borue the privations of camp
life, the exactions of military discipline, and
the rigors of a winter campaign. The rich
results of your courage, patriotism, and un
faltering virtue, are before you. Intrusted
with the defence of this important froutier,
you have driven back the immense army
which the enemy had sent to invade our
country and to establish his dominion over
our people by the wide-spread havoc of a war
inaugurated without a shadow of constitu
tional right, and prosecuted in a spirit of
ruthless vengeance. By your valor and
firmness you have kept him in check until
the nations of the earth have been forced to
see us in our true ehareter—not dismem
bered and rebellions communities, but an
empire of confederate States, with a (\ui<ti
t lit ion sale in tiu affections of the people,
institutions and laws in full and unobstruc
ted operation a population enjoying all the
comforts of life, and a citizeh soldiery who
laugh to scorn the threat of subjugation.
\ our country now summons you to a no
bler and a greater deed. The enemy has
gathered up all his energies for a final con
flict. 11 is enormous masses threaten us on
the \\ esf; his naval expeditions are assail
ing us upon our whole Southern coast, and
upon the Potomac, within a few hour's
march, he has a gigantic army, inflamed by
lust and maddened by fanaticism.
But the plains of Manassas .are not forgot
ten, and he shrinks from meeting the dis
ciplined heroes who hurled across the Po
tomac his grand army, routed and disgraced,
lie does not propose to attack this army so
long as it holds ipresent position with un
diminished numbers and unimpaired discip
line ; but protected by his fortifications, he
invents the expiration of your term of service.
He recollects that his own ignoble soldiery,
when their term of service expired, “inarch
ed away from the scene of conflict to the
sound of the enemy's cannonand he
hopes that at that critical moment Southern
men will consent to share with them this in
famy. Expecting a large portion of our ar
my to be soon disbanded, he hopes that his
immense numbers will easily overpower
your gallant comrades who will be left here,
and thus remove the chief obstacle to his
cherished scheme of Southern subjugation.
The Commanding General calls upon the
twelve-months men to stand by their brave
comrades who have volunteered for the war,
to re-volunteer at once, and thus show to
the world that the patriots engaged in this
struggle for the independence will not swerve
from the bloodiest path they may be called
to tread. The enemies of your country, as
well as her friends, are watching your action
with deep, intense, tremulous interest. —
Such is your position that you can act no
obscure part. Your decision, be it for hon
or or dishonor, will be written down in his
tory. You cannot, will not draw back at
this solemn crisis of our struggle, when all
that is heroic in the land is engaged, and all
that is precious hangs trembling in the bal
ance.
Drafting Sol<li« i rs for tlj<‘ Anny.
W e see that many of our exchanges are
deprecating the idea of drafting soldiers for
the aimy —they say it, will he a disgrace to
the country. Our opinion is that it will be
a disgrace to the country not to do it. The
disgrace is that there are so many men who
are not willing to engage in the defence of
the c-iumtrv —men whose only care is to see
how much money they can make out of the
war. The disgrace to the country will he
that they are permitted to pursue this
course. AVe must have more soldiers and if
men will not light in defence of the country
as a matter of patriotism they must he com
pelled to light. It is well enough for such
men to pat on the hack of those who are al
ready there, and appeal tc their patriotism
to remain there and defend the country while
they stay at home or hover around the army
and about Richmond like vultures, to pick
up every thing they can lay' their hands up
on fairly or unfairly.
We must have more soldiers even if every
twelve months man in the army should re
enlist. V\ e will want a good many if they
do not. The Secretary of War ought at
once to make a requisition npoc each of tln
states to furnish immediately the number
that may he wanted; ,that they may go into
training at once and be ready by the opening
of the Spring to go into acti\e service. It
will be an act ot great folly t<» wait until
they are actually needed in the field.
Perhaps the best thing that could be done
now would be to discharge the twelve months
men at once and till up their winter quarters
with new recruits. — Corner Stone.
Long Forage.—There need be no appre
hension of scarcity nf hsy for the use of the

Department that the quantity coming in is
immense, and the quality generally equal to
that formerly shipped from the North. A
very large proportion of it is rajsed in A ir
ginia. The war has demonstrated a ’fact
hitherto unknown, that this Commonwealth
can produce all the hay required for home
consumption, with a good deal to spare; and
we shall in future retain those immense sums
of money which have been sent off to enrich
the trafficking populatjeu of North. —

then boil in a strong lye, and proceed as in
