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 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.

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.

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.

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.
