identify and distinguish the Crittenden Gen
erals—one Confederate and two Federal.—
George B. ( ritteiideii, the Confederate Gen
eral is a son of .Tobin J. Crittenden, the once
honored United States Senator from Ken
tucky, a now traitorous and despised member
of the United States House of Representa
tives. Thomas L. Crittenden, the Federal
from Kentucky, is likewise a son of John J.
Crittenden. We are informed by a citizen
1 of Jackson county, Ala., that he is in com
mand of eight regiments in Buell’s army and
that hi< command passed Bellefonte, going
towards Stevenson, on the 12th inst. Thom-
I as 'l'. Crittenden, the Federal General from
Indiana is a son of a deceased brother of
1 Johu J. ( rittenden, who was likewise named
Thomas, and once resided in Huntsville,
Ala., and the son was born there as he tes
tifies himself. He is the man captured by
Forrest at Murfreesboro. We understand
i that he while here inclined to speak with un
-1 becoming license, if not impudence, lie
j said amongst other things that he was an
owner of slaves in Kentucky, but to crush
the rebellion and restore the Union, he was
willing to the emancipation of all the slaves.

Burning of a Federal Gunboat—
i Another Aground.— The Federal gunboat
; which gut aground near the mouth of Appo
! matt.ox, Sunday, and into which a Confed
erate field battery threw 21 shot, was fired
I yesterday afternoon by the Federals, and
when our informant left the vicinity, was in
| full blaze from stem to stern. All day Mon-
I day and yesterday forenoon, the eoemy were
; engaged in endeavoring to lighten her, but
their eliorls proved unavailing and they were
compelled to consign tier to the flames.—
During /Monday night two other gunboats,
which had been sent to the relief of the lirA,
got aground and were stuck fast yesterday
afternoon at, 6 o'clock, when the tide was
and unusually high. The chances are that
two will have to be disposed of in the usual
Yankee mode, viz : by applying the torch.
By. the way, the wreck of the gunboat which
got aground in the Appomattox, near the
Point ol Rocks about four weeks ago, and
which the \ ankecs were compelled to burn,
after vainly endeavoring to get her off, is
still to be seen, A plan is now on foot,
which will probably secure the whole of her
valuable machinery to tho Confederate Gov
ernment,.— /’. tevsbiirg /'..ep/ e.s*, G th.
The Test at Ytoksbittig. —The indomi
table pluck of the Gem of Mississippi, the
(Queen of ihe Yu]ley / noble Vicksburg, says
tin* correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser,
lias demonstrated to the world the fallacy of
this mortal fear of gunboats, for eleven
weeks has the enemy’s fleet been uninter
ruptedly engaged in throwing shell, charged
with every imaginable contrivance, grape,
l>. anEtor, sfirapnell, liquid, hot shot, Ac., aud
yet have caused no martial injury to the
city. By reference to Cant. Cuny’s reoort
of tlie Federal fleets at Vieksbnrg, it will
be observed that the mortar boats were ex
, pressly and repeatedly ordered by the Oom
! modern to Roll the city ! as if it were amove
gallant feat 10 fight with harmless houses
and empty streets than to manfully engage
( our batteries. The last news we have from
their fleets, is that they have abandoned the
project of capturing Vicksburg by water,
but that, a land force will be concentrated
Inge in September to do the work. The late
great naval viylory ot the Arkansas will no
doubt help to convince them of hue impossi
, bilify of taking it by water.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelligent
co , writing of the capture of Murfreesboro'
by our forces, says
Quite a number of negroes were' in tho
Yankee camp in uniform, only two of which,
however, had the courage to fight. ' One of
these shot of Gen, Forrest's batj the other,
after fighting for sbme time, came up and
; offered to surrender as a prisoner of war.—
j They were both, with the others in uniform,
yery properly shot down. But the question
is should the shooting have stopped here ?
In other words, how shall this is? e be met ?

Fclloi- citizrng :—This is no time for extma

eloquence lor better times, and endeavor if tve :
cart, to learn something fluid our present position, j
We have had m»ro#.i w.tv in thi* matter of the
war, and are not, as Ur an i can see, VPtr much
the better for it. The F .igilah told us ail along
that we had better -'-ivo our blood and our money,

it was dear there «a- uo chauce ol our dinehing

pail 1 dun t Si e that l> 6 i'liC inth-li lICaOT duitlt? it
tlmu we were *• lien ive first began. lloic we have
been for eight) years tGumphing over poor oiti
England heoan e she. at the distance of thtet
thousand miles, wan not .hie to conquer her coin i
toes with Fiance to iu-lp them, and here arc, aftar j
i fear and u hall ot war, nut vet able to take j
Richmond, one hundred unci thirty mile:. Poutb of
Washing ion, and very much afraid the other dav
for the safety of V\ ashington if-.-If Then we
have beiii always at England for h'uinj Hessians
nnd other Germans to couquer us. llut what does i
the South say, and iv truly? It says that all the
&anrgian&4hrtt fought for George were mere
igtriba compared to the gentry who fight under the
blessed leadership of Men her, Siegel, and ITeintz
c-lman. They do fight, that’s certain, but then
there is nothing that they will not steal. Since
we find ourselves obliged to employ such means
to coeree the South, we need not. be surprised that
poor old King George, who lived in days before
people understood anything about the* rights of
man, should have taken the same course. Then,
as fur military violence, why, what were all the
armies the English brought into the field compared
witii those that are under the orders of our Gene
ral ? I don’t believe Howe or Clinton had ever
at any time fifty thousand men under his orders.
Lord Cornwallis, when he surrendered at York
town, had only a poor seven thousand men, while
McClellan and Davis, Halleck and Beauregared,
are carrying on the work of destruction with half
a million of men on each side. We have been
asking what right had the English to call us re
bels, and to shed one drop of blood in seeking to
retain us against our will? They ought to know
that all men are free and equal, and have a right
to consult their own wishes in the choice of a
Government and in search of happiness. That’s
very true; but are not the South free and equal
too ? Have not they as much light as we to con
sult their own feelings in the choice of a Govern
ment and the search of happiness? The wisest
people in England, during the war of indepen
dence, considered that success was even more to
be dreaded than failure; for while failure would
diminish the empire, success would destroy the
liberties of the nation.
Does UQt the same danger hang over us? If
we lose the South, we lose a large population and
avast territory; but population increases fast in
new countries, and, as ,or territory, we shall still
have more than we know what to do with. If,
however, we conquer the South, we must govern
them by the swotd; and how shall we contrive to
set up a military power and a strong executive,
able to keep the South in slavery, and yet uuable
to encroach upon the liberties of the North ? The
man got on the horse to kill the stag, bur. when he
has killed him are we quite he will get off again ?
It was very wrong of the English to make war on
a nation speaking their own language arid of their
own kindred and lineage, but the relationship was
remote; and although Eugland and America both
belonged to the same crown, they could not be
said to be the same country.
But wo are doing our best to exterminate our
fellow-couutrvman, with the same language, the
same traditions, the same laws, the same historV.
Bow many of us have sons fighting on both side
or daughters married, orn; to a Southerner, and
the other to a Northerner? Every volley of ar
tillery sweeps away the very life and soul of the
country. We are shedding our own blood and
mangling our own flesh. We have been in the
habit of despising England for her heavy debt,
and the vast taxation her people have t<» hear ;
tint that debt was mainly incurred in a cause for
which she has no reason to blush--in fighting lor
her own liberties and those of Europe against two
conquerors, Louis XI V and the Emperor Napoleon.
That debt look a hundred and forty years to ac
cumulate, while we have incurred at least a quar
ter of it. in a year and a half. But in what cause?
Not to maintain liberty, not to preserve the bal
ance of power, but to put down those verv princi
ples of freedom to which we owe our existence as
a separate State, anil to cause our children to pa«s
through the fire: to the Moloch of overgrown pride
or distempered ambition.

C.LUP SEVEN lin.ES BELOW RICHMOND, /
July 20, 1802. )
Mr. Editor :—Sir: I write you to urge upon
the people of the up country, through your paper
the necessity of entering at once upon the distil
lation of their peach and apple crop. The imme
diate ;.so of spirits in some instances have done
au injury to tile service no doubt but the great
want, the absolute necessity foi stimulants, with
the common fare we have in camps, is no longer a
question. The soldiers cannot do without it. I
am connected with the medical department of the
service, and know what j say. V/e must have
some life-imparting principle other than v. hat v. ;
havo, or spores upon scores will go down that
might otherwise etamj the service. Mv whole life
has been devoted to habits of temperance. In
fact, it never entered my mind, up to the last few
months, that I would ever pen a line to any one
upon a subject of this sort. The medical depart
ment should control the use of spirits in camps
alone. The use of it would not then be likely to
fO many abuse?. JG~.e of our bountiful corn
crops can be made iu£o ay j.
Ibv'lmiond is one vast hospital. All is being
done that can be for thp relief of the suffering.—
A large force left here a day orts?p since—J 8,000
or 20,000 —to reinforce Jackson, it is said. Jacu
son i* the man of the war. it is Bald here that
when he was about to leave for the valley, he wrote
to the editors and told them that If his name was
menuopej drying his absence, he would Icing the
man that did it cn bis return, Th : ? may nr may
not be true. At any rate, the editors sav nothing
of him. ‘ v
A tew good strong articles on the whisky ques
tion, and you will do God's service tp suffering
humanity, I have no doubt. I have been here 4
little over a week; r?.y confidence in our ability tp
defend our beloved Soutb la stronger pypr
before. The troops are generally in good spirits.

ANOTHER VICTORY BY STOftIWALL JACKSON
The public bnv,, lor .-e verst dar~ been mi loud
ly waiting to hear fiom huti, knowing vei v well
that he must be in proximity with Gen, anti
we now have ihe gratifying intelligence Chat they
have met and that the battle life) heed successluUy
opened. At present, we have only the following
hriei dispatch, but it is sufficient to give i°. c uranee
of a idoniv and decisive battle, if PojK* Joea rot
make a “buli run,' or hurisedir change hia “ba?e
of operations," bevond our reach. «l*ek«on has
an ample army for his purpose.-, and the? are
n«rved to desperation against the baibaiiau whom
they use fighting, and they will make their record
of hi- barbarities in blood on tne fields ot bitiit.
We .nxioualy await further intelligence.
The following is the dispat.h ;
Kir HiiOND, Aug. 10. —A dispatch from Gordons
viile, dated the 10th, says that a battle w*s fought
near Bench-western Mountain, on Saturday, whi.b
iceulted in n complete victory urer the Fed* rah.
Gen. BionowaU Jackson repulsed Pope, «ad drute
him several miles from his position. Three hun
dred prisoners have arrived, including one Briga
dier General. Prince, and twenty-nine officers.—
Geo. Charles S. Winder was kiiGd.
This wo look upon as only the commencement
of a much more serious and important battle o.
buttles.
VIOLATION OF THE FLAG OF TftUoE
On Sunday last, the? steamer Gen. Lee was pent
down the river from Savatm.-ih with a flag of tiuce
and was fired upon from Fort. Pulaski. \bout
twenty shot and shells were thrown at her, when
she was towed up to to the Fort. No intelligence
has been received from her, and it is supposed
that her crew are considered aa prisoners. Such
is the villainy of the enemy with whom we arc
contending.
Martial Law.—lt is published that Gen. Bragg
has declared the town of I.aGrango, Ga , under
‘‘Martial Law, ’ and appointed a Provost Marshal.
M hy, and wherefore the necessity, is not under
stood, but the dignity and once fearful import of
the mere words, “Martial Law," seems now to be
lost by its extension to small and unnecessary lo
calities-; where little or no purpose can be discov
rred for it, except to create au office and officer
with emoluments of some sort, and annovanew
without benefit to the public.
Next, might be suggested as a locality the Stone
Mountain. The native habitans about its summit,
for ages, have proved good scavengers, and might
perform all the other duties, without expense or
annoyance to any liring being. As much might
be said ol tnauy other offices, so far as the public
benefit is concerned.
DISINTERMENT OF DEAD BODIES.
Our attention was called particularly to this
subject, while on a vis.t to our Cemetery one day
last week. A body had been brought here by
railroad, we believe, from Atlanta, on its way to
Dooly county, and had ' became so offensive that
further transportation was refused. After remain
ing at the depot some time, a guard was detailed
from Col. Brown’s encampment lor that purpose,
aud the body buried.
We notice in the Richmond Dispatch and Whig
articles on this subject. We .copy the following
from the Dispatch :
“We daily observe at the railway stations boxes
containing the bodies of deceased soldiers, which
have been disinterred by their friends, under the
belief that they can he sent off without delay,
either by mail train or express. This, however, is
an error. Freight trains only cany them,and the
detention frequently cudses thu bodie t ti» become
ottenfeive, when tln-ir immediate burial by tla- way
side is a matter of necessity. It would be bettei
to postpone disinterment until cold weather, when
it can he accomplished with Gas trouble and mo;e
eertairty of getting the remains of the departed i .
their destination. Metallic coffins me difficult to
obtain, and wooden ones can only be procured by
the payment of a large sum. In these the dead
bodies are packed with sawdust, and in warm
weather their transportation to a distant point is
uncertain, if not absolutely impo-mbie "
To the aLuve we have to add, (.md mat bom
personal knowledge) that nothing is more e.tPV,
convenient, or cheap than transporting bodie? at
qny season cf the y.ar, tu any distance. Any
common coffin will answer. Gave a piece of cot
ton ospaburgs or other cloth of tip necessary size
—dip it in boiling tar, and wrap the coffin in and,
and it ia sealed tighter than a can be done in *i
metalie case. Place it in a box with some f ind ol
packing to keep it from moving, and the wort is
complete. No charcoal, or disinfectant is ru-ces
saty.
COUNTERFEITING CONFEDERATE NOTES
Tips law should be distinctly understood by the
people, and tne pen ally iiipdiy administered---
Withput this, it wijl 41 once become a 4eod letter,
qn4 better ne-cr to been up our statute
books. One haitymy ia worth u(i other prepaq
tion° and remedies, and the crime will scarcely be
eiiacted again. It is said then- is u case, or cases,
now before our courts, with heavy attorney's lees,
for a clearance. It is a matter in which we are
ah intercßteu cl srstainir** the credit of our
currency. Y/hen it can bp pmchaaeu iu packages
hy of goods across the iinps ? aqd put
jn circulation by iMOiio&udc., it iis titpe vrp did tiuqti
and ourselves justice in carrying out the jaw,—
The public are sufficiently plundered by such deal
ers, in the price of their goods, without the addi-
Lyii of their Rogue currency. The following is
