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 army. We learn from the Quartermaster’s 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. — Richmond Dispatch, ' VOLUME XXXIX—NO 48, l oyally (<> f| M > *«, ( tt| v .
