Fair angel, that dost stand Guarding the beautiful eastern gate Os life’s young golden land ; O’er shaoowing with thy wing of peace The sacred walls of home; Love following ever, wheresoever Thy pilgiiiu child doth roam; Then of the heart and brow in-piied Where earthly loves are dim, And passion--smouldering and spent, Thy spirit shines on him, llorne of the heart—our earthly home Wherein our feet have stiayed, Still wave above us che green trees Betieathed whose leaves we pluveJ. The shadows linger on the sill; To the hag stones cling the moss, Still laughs the babbling brook we laid The mimic bridge across; Before the door the children sport, The brothers brave and good, And flit among the grove and bowers A happy sisterhood. O theme of promise and of hope, Our native land on high, Auiid the waring clash of this, Thy holy quiet meets the eye. There dwell the loved—there ait the saved— There bide the uulorgiven, The sinless souls, serene and calm, Each in his perfect heaven. And looking through the bars of even, We deetn their angel eyes Hhine on us, by the light that pours From the clouded, sapphire skies. Ah, mother true—ah, peaceful home— Ah, scattered household band Still turns the fretted heart to you, Through ull this weary land! And oh, if one sweei hope acros3 Life’s turmoil ever come, It is, to find you all for aye In God’s eternal home. To know our frail bark’s moored at last, The fitful teinptest done, The broken bounds of earth shall meet, And home and heaven be one. PROCLAMATION Bi THE GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA. Executive Department, ) Montgomery, Ala., April 10, 18(i‘2. j Notwithstanding the urgent appeals which have been made in every form by the press, by our public officials, including the procla mation which has heretofore issued from the Executive Department, and notwithstanding the plain course of action which patriotic du ty demands, I have been pained to hear that there are some among us who, disregarding every oiner consideration aud selfishly pur suing their own sordid interests, are prepar ing to plant their usual crop. lam happy to believe that these men arc few in number, and can be easily indentified, and should be held up to the uotiee and condemnation of their fellow-citizens. I again warn the peo ple against such a suicidal policy, and ap peal to every true and loyal citizens to dis courage and denounce it in every proper way, and if it be necessary, even to wi.h draw all sympathy and protection from men who will deliberately peril the welfare of their country in order to gratify the mere thirst for gold. Though ours is a free coun ; try, and we mean, with the blessing of Cod, to keep it so, these selfish, avaricious men have no right to disregard the public welfare iat a time like this, and seek the advance ment of individual and sordid ends when they conflict with a policy upon which our all may depend lor the subsistence of our army and people. 1 hereby give notice that l shall urge up on the next session'of the General Assembly tlie duty and sound policy of taxing all cot ton beyoud what may be needed for home consumption and the supply of seed for an other year, to the full extent of its value, and I think it every way probable that per sons who will presist in planting the usual crop of cotton, or more than one acre to the hand, will not be allowed to enjoy the fruits of such a selfish and unpatriotic course. In testimony whereof, I, JOHN GILL SHORTER, Governor of the State of Alabama, have hereun to. S. to sot my hand, and caused the Great Seal ©f the Slate to be affix ed, this, the 10th day of April, A. D. 18G2. By the Governor, JOHN GILL SHORTER. Attest P. H. Brittan, Secretary of State. An Interesting Incident. —We have been informed of an incident, of recent oc currauce, which affords a pleasing illustra tion of the steadiness and nerve ot our men under the most embarrassing circumstances. The day before the enemy opened fire on Island No. 10 one of our meu died. The interment was ordered for the next day, and his company was detailed to perform the last melancholy duties towards their departed comrade. While engaged iu this duty the enemy opened fire on the party, although, by the usages of war, they should, at such a moment, have been exempted from attack.- — Nevertheless, the Federals threw a number of shells among the burial party, but with out dispersing them or even disturbing the 1 consumatioa of the solemn ceremony. Not a man moved, although thirteen shells were thrown, many of which burst in dangerous proximity to the little party standing around ; the dead soldier’s grave. The ceremonies were brought to a conclusion without un ! seemly haste, and the company then return ied to their quarters, fortunately without | having suffered from the enemy's fire. This incident, as we have remaiked, reflects great : credit on the steadiness and courage of our ijaeu,— *Y. 0. #c/faU L ironi ibe Atlanta (Ga.) Southern Confederacy.j b«ir f ill lire if Defeated in Uie Struggle. BY REV. J. R THOMAS, tot l.m >i // « <>// > , Georyia. Much has been said oi late about our pros pective condition it the Yankees succeed in overrunning the country Some of the p/ie tuies which have been drawn are frightful to look at, and yet. I do not believe that anv one of them truly represents, the facts of our Dituie history if we are to be a conquered people 1 Lie phrase colonial vassalage” has no force ot meaning to convey the slightest idea of what will be our real condition. Wheth i we make inferences from a just estimate ot atiki-e character, or from the appalling tacts ot \ ankee history, since this war com menced-—whether we credit their own dec larations as to their proposed line of policy towards the South after our subjugation, (of which they seem to have no doubt,) or whether we reason from the premise of a monstrous national debt which the war i> entuiling upon them—a debt so frightfully enormous as to preclude all hope of payment, unless it be by the total confiscation of all our property and the levying of a lifetime tax upon us aud our children : in any event we shall reach the certain conclusion that out doom will be that of the most debasing bon dage ever imposed upon any people. The present condition of Southern slaves will be a paradise in comparison with what these malignant fanatical marauders have in store for us if they succeed in their wicked pur poses. An opportunity will then be fur ni died them, for sating a long cherished feel ing of bitter hatred. There are doubtless millions at the North w r ho are so deluded and enslaved to the away of a devlish fanati cism, that they would deem it an act of ser vice of God, to subject us to tortures worse i than those of the old inquisition. The hor j rors of our fate would be aggravated by the J semi-barbarous element which piedominates |in the Federal army. Their soldiery would, j doubtless, be quartered upon us by the half ; million to keep us iu subjection, and perpe ! trate daily outrages upon us—a soldierly I very largely made up of raw emigrant Dutch —rnauy of whom are the most savage, merci less and ferocious brutes that ever disgraced , the form of man. It has been my ill fortune to know something of these remorseless 1 monsters. Many of our German emigrants i —-especially of those who are partly or well i educated, are noble specimens of humanity, und make the host of citizens: but Iho illit erate, low Dutch, landed upon Northern soil, and constituting a large element in the 1 Northern army, are, beyond conception, : course, vulgar aud brutal. They have no i sense of decency. Their cruelty is beyond j measure—there is no bounds to their lust, ! and their rapacity has no limit that is not | prescribed by the strong arm of power. — ! Only imagine out; condition, with countless jof such demons quartered upon us every where, through all time to come, as the min i ions of Yankee despotism, to coerce our j obedience, to exacr a3 tribute all our earn ings, beyond a meargre living for the dear ones, whom God has given us. What is worse than all, and sure to occur if we should be subjugated, our wives and daughters would be exposed to the insult of these de graded myrmidons of Y ankee power, and we could resent it only at the risk of being arrested upon false accusation and confined ! in Lincoln’s Bastile for life ! Southerrt freemen, what think you of this? The man who can, for a moment, think of it, without being almost frantic, must be as 1 cold and torpid as a frog. .% 2St-nii;n«S On Friday evening last, (’apt. Rains, with 20U cavalry, left Chattanooga, and procee ded across the country directly to Wartrace, in Bedford county, Tenn., on the liue of the Nashville aud Chattanooga Railroad. War trace is 9G miles from Chattanooga aud 58 miles from Stevenson, by way of railroad, aud 55 miles from Nashville. By a direct route through the country, it is about GO miles from Chattanooga. Captain Rains aimed to make a dash upon the rear of the federal army, and put them to flight. Ho was successful in rushing up on them, but unexpectedly found them sev eral thousand strong. The surprise was complete, but his force was only a handful compared with the large number into whose midst he had rushed. It caused a wild scat tcration among them. Capt. Rains and his men beiug well armed with double-barrelled guns, took good aim, fired one volley, and then retreated before the enemy had time to recover from thc-ir fright. The Captain thinks a large number were killed, from the many that were seen to fall, which appeared to be near 100, from the hasty glance he had time to make. A great number of shots were fired at him and his men as they re tired, and he lost four of his men. Capt. R intended to hover about and har ass the Lincoln army, but he was informed by one whose veracity he was induced to believe, that the federal® had reached Chat anooga, which caused him to return to that pi a cc-—--on 1 y to find the report untrue. — Southern Confederacy, loth. The Charleston Courier well says: The everts of the war are emphatically calling on all good and rrue suns of the South to prepare lor the field, and especially partisan service in the field. We have never been fairly defeated in the field, and we possess a country and a population special ly adapied-to guerrilla warfare. Ibe most daring and effectual teats of the p&rtuans of the Revolu tion were performed iu South Carolina, otter the coast bad been occupied by the foe. It is time that full and authoritative encourage ment were given to this mode of warfare and de- > * I i*ltc*i* from Professor Ibtrby. Auburn, Ai.a., April 7. 186*2. Ed*. Su.t ;—l have been requested by j cvcrul ot your patrons to make public hrough your columns the following facts tnd suggestions: Nitric acid from which Nitric is formed, is produced spontumou>lv iu the soil, and j combines with :tn\ base that may be present, j W hou ntius d?> nut wash the nitre salts ‘way, or growing-vegetation consume them, they accumulate iu appreciable quantities.— j Lhese conditions are fulfilled in cases under ! our houses and sheds. Iu these places, the ! nitrates accumulate and may be extracted ! by a very simple process. I he conditions of the soil are not matters and indifference. A porous soil containing lime, is more favorable than a compact soil containing little or no lime, for the produc tion ot nitrates. Decaying animal or vege table matter is also favorable to spontaneous production of nitric acid. Under sheds where animals assemble, l have found the soil rich in nitrates, especially iu lime or marl regions. Under kitchens and negro houses where refuse matters are allowed to accumulate 4 we have found the earth as rich in nitre as in many of the nitie eaves. But any protected soil will yield more or less of this important material for which our coun try is now suffering. To extract the nitrate from the soil, all that is necessary is to treat the earth as ash es are treated for making soap. Boil down the lye to dryness and then you have all the nitrates. To convert them into nitre, nitrate of potash, cannot he well carried ou by common hands ou a plantation. The best course unquestionably is for the planter to have the dirt cleaned out from uuder all houses and leeched, and boil down the lye to dryness, and sell it iu that state [o the purifier. The material thus obtaiued, will be a dirty brown or blackish mass, which will become moist by exposure to the air. Cart* should be taken not to heat the mass to near redness, as the nitrates may be decomposed. To avoid much evaporation, the weak li quor towards the close of the batch, may be used instead of water on the next, j Common iron kettles or pots may be used 1 for evaporation. We Lave no doubt that" large quantities lof nitre may be produced from our planta : tions, if all would go into its production.— Onr government is now needing it, and the fate of our country may depend ou the .sup jilioja oTtliin «.i-tto-G. 1.,.t nil 1 ry it. and wh« »» wc may otherwise meet with defeat for want iof powder, we may triumph by its abun |dance. Our powder manufactories are not ball supplied with nitre. By cleaning out from under his houses, as indicated, the planter will purify his I premises and remove the most fruitful source of disease. Any queries addressed to the undersigned will be answered if he is able. Very respectfully, J. Darby. Major liar tie ma. »F* Battalion. Among the troops that passed through here within a few days past, was the above named battalion from Georgia which we no tice on account of its admirable discipline and perfect drill, which was witnessed with exhilarating effect by the citizens and sol diers generally. We learn that there have been twenty odd promotions from this battalion, to various offices, including several Colonels. Maj. Hardeman left here, himself, to take charge of a regiment waiting his command in Ma con, Ga., and all we could desire is that he may do with them as he has done with these under notice, and make them also perfect soldiers. We understand that Major L. T. Doyal is at present in command of the Bat talion. He is a Baptist divine, an eminent lawyer, and a noble and chivalrous gentle man. The term of service of his command will expire on the 10th of April, after which he will return to Georgie and take the com mand of a regiment. The time of enlistment of this battalion being about to expire, they have determined to re-enlist to a man. Noble fellows in deed ! One fact is worthy of record. There is not a dissipated men in the battalion. r i hey are all young men of the first, order of char acter and taleut. Goldsboro (A. C.) Tri bune. Running Hie Blockade. We are pleased to leam that Mr. Thomas, of Memphis, who was appointed by the Bi ble Society of the Confederate States to visit Nashville for the purpose of securing the stereotype plates of the New' Testament, has succeeded in his mission, and reached this city with the plates in charge. He had some “ hair-breadth escapes” among the vandals —was taken prisoner by the Dutch pickets, but finally reached Nashville, and through the aid of onr friends there secured the plates, and got them conveyed through the lines in a wagon, when he succeeded iu making his escape aud took charge of them.

Messrs. Neill Brothers of Mir : r, hnvo just issued a circular, in which it •■- said :—“ We can dir*ccrn no hopes if p -■-<* till one side or the other is utterly pr«»-*traud, and to accomplish this result will be a w ric of time. Meantime, it It ippirait that ii tional enthusiasm will now furnish mon- y more readily to the* northern Government, and that the recent events will thus have a tendency to protract the war. It is thu ev idently futile to look for any early re-open ing of the Southfrn ports; and even wore it otherwise, very little cotton could be br u at down before the summer fall of the riv : . Prior to this date last year upw ird- • T 3,H , 000 bales had reached the ports, leaving only 650,000 to be subsequently rcceiveu This seasou we have not yet heard of any receipts, and the exports do not probably . yet exceed 6,000 bales. This however in i\ he increased by 20,000 during tin re in a: der of the season, by vessels running th blockade. Till last mouth the st><ek at L erpool showed no great falling off relative y to last year, but the discrepancy is now • coming great. The present and iinmedia iB supply of American cotton, as couipar l with this time last year, is now as follow : 1802—at Liverpool, 166,000 bales; afloat, none. 1861 —At Liverpool, 718,000 bale Total, 16,013,000 bales, showing a deer* • e of 859,000 bales, besides a probable rede turn of 150,000 bales th the stocks in spin ners’ hands. This deficiency is, however, in some degree mitigated by the supply from other quarters, via : Surat, (in Liverpool,) 1562, 202,000 bales; ls«I, 110,000 bales; other sorts, 1862, 62,000 bales; 18.61, «> 000 bales.

It i gratifying to be able to state that East ludi an cotton is daily increasing in favor, and many spinners are altering a porrion oi th ; machinery to suit it. Jhebss in wei lit is undoutedly considerably greater than on American cotton, but uot in proportion » * the present difference in price.

Stop all the leaks, and especially the kithen leak . Our servants are proverbially wasteful, and heretofore it made but little odds to the public, whether private economy was prae tised or not. Rut now, duty to the country requires it. Here is a work in which our noble women can engage and do incalcula ble service to the country. We propose* that all the home folks be constituted into ; committee of the whole, whose duty it shall be to save all they can, and waste as lift *- as possible of our provisions. If our prop sition is accepted, we will have ••enough and to spare/’ It would be astonishing how lit tle we could live upon at home, if we wt re only to try. We close with repeating the remark, watch the kitchen leaks.—Atlanta Commonwealth. Plan of Episcopal Visitation. For the Year 1862, by the BieJwps of the Methodist Episcopal Church , >Sovth.
