JEloq tM-iin: in Sodom.
m The repnruj that cobic to U 8 bj M
more reliable than “the gentleman just from
the North/’ concur in one eageutial point,
vir: the moral and social corruption of
Washington city. That place, even j n the
purest days of Southern rule, had a reputa
tion for wickedness beyond all other cities
of North America. Doubtless its orirnvi
were exaggerated, for it is not conceivable
that any city having a third or aiuurth of
Southern population could, by possibility,
be so thoroughly impure as one whose citi
zens were all Yankees. If Washington, in
its best estate, was bad, what must it be
now, when its honeat people Lave been
driven away, its highest places of power
filled with thieves and liars, whose fame has
reached the ends of the earth, and its alleys
aud by-waya crammed with that awful pro
duct of New England civilization—that con
centrated quintessence of all meauneas
that embodiment of everything contemptible
—the live Yankee '(
The best answer to this question is not
found in the minute description of men aud
things in Washington, furnished the South
ern press by Contederates who have sojourn
ed in its prisous, or sought, in disguises, to
penetrate the mysterious depths of its abomi
nations. These accounts all fail to depict
that depravity of the social life which is
known to exist, but which can be fully as
certained only by an actual ruetamorphisis
of mind and body—the first step to which is
the taking of the oath of allegiance to the
beastly dictator of the White House, and
the last is the constant association with the
\ ankees as one of themselves, a partaker of
their familiar home vices, and sharer of their
public frauds and crimes. Such degrada
tion on the part of the Southerner implies a
sealing of the lips, which forbids true reve
lation, and ensures false and favorable rep
resentations. But, “by their fruits ye shall
know them.” The unprovoked war upon
the South—the murder of its young men—
the pillage of its plantations—the arson of
its homes —the stealing of its slaves—the
outrages upon its women, children and old
men—all these bear witness to the innate
villainy of soulless beiugs who now inhabit
Washington.
But there is another and perhaps a bet
ter test. An old adage says ; “Show me a
man’s friends and I will tell you his charac
ter.” If, then we would understand the
chaiacter of the swarms of human vermin
in the Yankee Metropolis, we must look at
their so-called great men—those whom they
delight to honor. Such are Seward, Love
joy, Suumer, Wade, Giddings, Lincoln,
Greeley, and a host of a civil magnates.
In Butler we find the examplar of the
military hero whom thny worship, hut
Lane of Kansas—“ General Jim Lane” as
with negro-like freedom they style him—we
find at once their beau ideal of a warrior
and an orator. A speech of this Yankee
spokesman is before us, and from it we pro
pose to make a few extracts which go to
show the secret springs of malignant, devil
ism passion which actuate their leaders, and
from them filtrate into the hearts of the
common herd, until the whole multitude of
Yankee Boodles, like the swine mentioned
in Scripture, arc possessed of devils aud des
tiued in good time, we trust most fervently,
to follow the example of their porcino pre->
decessors.
About the 20th of March, Lane made a
speech before the Union League of Wash
ington. These Union Leagues are the latest
of Yankee tricks, and their aims and pur
poses are fully exposed by the Courier in a
few words. “Unconditional loyalty to the
Government of the United States,” says the
Courier, “is the first principle laid duwu in
these Leagues, which, however plausible it
may seem to tbe undiscrinjinating, is neith
er more nor less thau an unconditional sur
render ot all the rights and privileges of
freemen into the hands of the servants of
the people who are temporarily in authority;
thus totally changing the character of our
institutions, and making the Republic a des
potism.”
With this forcible exposition of the Union
Leagues before him, we lay before the reader
a few extra«ts from Lane’s speech, and
submit to him whether the people who could
applaud such falsehoods, and sentiments so
diabolical, are not part and parcel of that
very population which inhabited the cities
of the plain, and were destroyed from off
the eaith by fire and brimstone. The ex
tracts carry their own comment, and prove
that Washington is the Sodom of America,
or else that wickedness has become virtue
and humanity a erime.
“Almost two years ago I stated in a pub
lic speech that the work of pacification
should begin at Washington City ; and
stated further that if I was in command in
that city I would drive every rebel sympa
thiser, as such man or woman, out the place
[applause] or I would people the infernal
region. [ Applause. ] #

nerves Wc hardened by exposure to danger.
1 h? man who is in constant danger soon be
comes careless of danger, because hia nerves
are hardened with that exposure.
“Then a negro being exposed to danger
from the cradle to the tomb, it was natural

negro regiment, you may rely upon it, never
would be stampeded. [Loud applause.]-

applause ] is there any incentive that the

Aye, none. Freedom is promised him.—
[\ oeiterous applause.] Freedom for him

“Gentlemen I have heretofore and do
still advocate the separation of the white
aud colored races. Ido not propose to drive
the negroes out of this couuty, but I pro
pose to settle them in some portion of the
L nited States, where they may have their

Au Infallible Cure for Cancer*
The following recipe for the cure of this
most loathsome disease was handed us for
publication by Mr. I'uggett, an old gentle
man living in this county, who assures us j
that he has never yet known it to fail : •
GERMANIC CANCER RECIPE.
Take pulverized beech drops, 29 grains.
Bed puccoon Root, 3 «
Pure Arsenic, * II “
Mix thoughly together and keep in a dark
place.
Jo make. Ointment. —Take a handful of
slippery elm lark, a handful of the weed
life everlasting; putin a pot and cover them
with water, and boil slowly down to one pint;
then add about one pound of rosin and one
pound of mutton suet. Continue to simmer
down until the water is out. While the
mixture is cooling you must stir it.
Application. —ls the cancer be not raw,
scarify it, and take a piece of thin cloth,
halt an inch larger in diameter than the can
oer, and spread the salve over it and apply it
to the cancer at night; the next morning
remove it and put on a good coat of powders
with the salve only on the good flesh so as
to hold the powders on the parts which are
raw; let the powdersremain about thirty-six
hours and so continue until the canccred
flesh is all eaten out; if the dead flesh should
not come away of itself or sticks to the boue
you may hasten the opperations of cuttiug
it away belore applying the powderg. Be
uot alarmed at this medicine, for it will not
waste away good flesh. After you know the
cancer is killed and all the cancered flesh is
out and cleaned off well, you must keep the
salve on the cancered parts-until curred up
keeping all water from the cancer from the
commencement.
I am an old man nearly eighty-five years
of age—and I wish the world to know the
virtue of this medicine, and the good it has
done. Beware of all counterfeits, for there
are many in existence. I have received
many counterfeits, sent to know if genuine,
which had my name falsely signed. That
is my reason for publishing this recipe, I
let Dr. January, of Murfreesboro, have a re
cipe and medicine, and requested him to
let the people know the good of it; but be
has not complied with my request, neither
will he give his medicine out.
I hope the editors generally will copy this
article for the good of the people, as the
medicine is a sure cure.

pays the annexed compliment to Hon. L. J.
Gartrell, the member of the Confederate
House of Representatives from this State ;
I have never entered the House of Rep
resentatives when Mr. Gartrell was not in

Georgia soldiers. Fresh from the army, he
understands thoroughly the necessitie# of
troops in the field, and is the medium of
their communication with the legislative and
executive departments of the Government.
I am told that Mr. Gartrell will be the com

excellent debater, and no member of the
House is more assiduous in the discharge of
his duties. He would grace the highest

Gunboat in Coouh Kiser.
♦ ednesday evening our watchful
pickets rt ported a gunboat of the enemy in
Loosaw river, near Chisolm s Dlaod. It
was first believed that the vessel was aground,
but subsequent events proved that she was
anchored. During the night another gun
boat also took position in the same neigh
borhood. Ipon the first intimation of tho
preacuce of oue of the enemy’s veaaals in m
position which offered an opportunity for
punishment, Gen. \\ alker ordered section.*
of the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, Vir
ginia, North Carolina and Georgia batteries
to move forward, with a view to attack, and
if possible destroy the vessels. These with
"a proper infantry support consisting of a
regiment from Goo. Cook's brigade, reached
the scene of action during the night, ai.d
waited for daybreak to open the ball. Jltforu
morning one of tho gunboat* moved down
towards Fort Royal terry, and a torcc was
detatehed and scut in that direction to oj*cr
ate should opportunity ofl’er.
At dswn, Capt. Lumkin, of the Virginia
Battery, aud Lieut. Hal Stuart, of the
Beaufort Artillery, brought their guus in
positiou iu splendid style, having to man
oeuvre, uuder great disadvantages, in au old
cotton field. Before the Abolitiouist had
time to rub their eyes aud turn in their
buuks the fi-pouud shot aud 12-pouud shell
were crashing through the sides of the gun
boat in jolly style. Lieut. Stuart’s si*coud
shot knocked ofl the rudder, and the ship
became unmanageable. Lu a few minutes
after firing their heavy guns iu return, the
\ ankees displayed the white flag, aud our
guua ceased their terrible fire. The vessel
was discovered to be on fire from our shells,
and heuce the surrender. As usual the ras
cals used the flag ouly for their personal
safety; for, by this time, the gunboat bad
drifted over to the other shore, aud the vali
ant crew jumped into the marsh, aud, re
gardless of the mud and water, they strug
gled for the island shore. Seeing this, our
guua were elevated a little, and a perfect
hail of grape aud canister fell among the
fugitives, killing and Wounding several.
Oupt. Stephen Elliott, Laving returned
from detached service with Gen. Walker,
now boarded the burning ship, aud secured,
with the limited means at his command, a
number of articles of value, and would have
brought ofl’ the guns, but the gunboat was
seen returning, shelling the shore with con
siderable spite, and he returned with his
boats. Three prisoners were takeu the
burning ship, all dieadfully wounded. They
were suffering terribly, and but little infor
mation was obtained. The presence of the
two boats was accounted for iu this wise :
They were ordered to that poiut with “seal
*<l npnn wtiali tVw.jr f.tnTwl
that they were to silence any rebel batteries
that they might find on the river. Our
brave boys Lave the consolation of knowing
that there is one gunboat les* in the Admi
ral’s fleet. Not a mau nor a horse was hint
on our side The troops returned to tln ir
camps on Thursday in excellent spirits, to
read the full particulars of fhc glorious vic
tory at Charleston. Os course everybody
was in a good humor, and satisfied with this
week's experiments iu gunboat warfare.—

Tlie Currency Art.
The Currency Act has divided all
ry notes into three classes.
I. Those- issued before Ist December,
1862.
11. Those issued between Ist December,
1862, and 4t.h April, 1863. - .
111. Those issued after 4th April, 1883.
1. The first are fundable in 8 per cent,
bonds or stock until 22d April, 1863 ; after
which they cannot be funded at all.
2. The second class arc fundable in 7 per
cent, bonds or stock uutil Ist August, 1803;
atter which they are fundable iu in 4 per
cents.
3. The third class are fundable in six per
cents, at any time within one year from the
first day of the month of their issue. After
one year they are fundable in four per cents.
To distinguish the notes and fix the period
of one year, the month in which they are
issued is stamped across the face of the
notes.
It will be seen, therefore, that no 8 per
cent, bonds will be issued after the 22d
April, and no sevens after Ist August, so
that all holders who derire to secure these
rates, must present their notes for funding
within the period above named.
Six per cent. Call Certificates are no lon
ger to be issued; but instead thereof, five
per cent, Cali Certificates may be had for
any of the notes of the third class, which
will entitle the holders to reconvert the same
at any time within six months from the
date of the oldest of the notes which
Call Certificates represent and to receive in
terest until reconverted. If not reconvert
ed, the Call Certificate may, at any time, be
funded in six percent bonds.
The four per cent. Bonds issued for the
notes of the 2d and 3d cla?3 may be exchang
ed at any time for Cali Certificates, which
will entitle the holder to reconvert the same
into notes of the same character, and to in
terest at four per cent until reconverted.
The six per cent. Cali Certifi ates now in
the hands of holders may be redeemed iu
the notes which they represent at any time
before Ist July, 1883; after that date they
become six per ceat bonds, payable at any
time, not exceeding thirty years.

on it upon ttiat place on Friday last Tbe
fight which ensued, was bloody and deae
rate to tbe end.
After the fight at Tb ompson’s station the
Federal* fell back to Franklin. Them they
havo pugged their breastwork* over since
It became expedient to dislodge them, aud,
nt the time specified, a wv well appointed
expedition appeared in front of tbe p»are
After a rajidom fire of half an hoir the Fed
crala retired, and our troop* reached the
public square. Freeman * Battery was
posted near the market house.
Tbe \ aukees had not proceeded tar bo

raenta they dashed upon our troop#, who
had believed the day's work done. A furi
ous eucouuter < •ued, resulting iu the cap
ture of Freeman’s battery and its gallant
commander. Our force retired to the out
skirts of the town The Yankees did uot
pursue.
A cousultatiou was here held, which re
sulted in a resolve to recapture ourlostguus
at every hasard.
\\ ith this iotent a general assault was
made The columns of cavalry dashed and wq
the differeut streets in splendid style. But
wheu the enemy p recited our object, La
clubbed his forces before the markot place,
barricading the battery. The struggle here
was most bloody with heavy loss ou both
sides
In the midst of the melee tho Yankees,
unable to hold either their portion or our
artillery, assassinated Captain Fret nun,
who had been sent a prisoner to tho
rear. \\ e thereafter took no more prisoners.
We took tlireo of tbe guns bail;, and kill
ed large numbers of the enemy, but heavy
reinforcements arriving out of Nashville wo
found it expedient to retire.
Such ure tbe details reported t» us. \Y<j
have no means of ascertaining their: : . t
truth. They are stated to us however, v
positively, that we should do ouireif
wrong in failing to notice them.
We do not regard the results cf this fight
to be serious, or look upon it in tho light cf u
disaster.
After the Speculators — At the car
go sale at Wilmington, last week, things
went on swimingly until the sale was about
to close, when u «quad of men appeared *t

We learn that two or three were taken
off the cars here yesterday, by order of Com
mandant of Conscripts some of whom after
examination, wero released and other# ro

Wc would have no man deprived of his
liberty without ju.-t cau*e, but we verrily
believe that speculators and extortioners v > i
conquer the government and bitrny tho

Portable Rice Mills. —Our ingenious
friend, Peter McKiolay, who has invented
many useful invoutions, is now ready to
offer a remedy for difficulty experience 1 in
the Rice market under the war. Ho oflVrs
a Portable Rice Mill, which can be tak' n
down and put up again in a few minutes, and
can be transported. These Mills are worthy
of the attention of all who have Rice to be
milled, and especially of those who, are in
view of the invasion and hostile occupation
of our Rice region iutend to plant Lpland
Rice.
For full particulars and information, we
refer to Mr. P. McKiclay, 40 Cannon-street

Blackberry Wise. —The following is
said to be an excellent recipe for the maou
facture of superior wine from blackberri a :
Measure your berries and bruise them , to
every gallon adding ODe quart of boiliog wa
ter; let the mixture stand twenty four
hours; stirring occasionally; then ►train
off the liquor into a cask, to every gallon ad
ding two pounds of sugar; cork tight, und
let stand till followicg October, huu yuu
will have wine ready for use, without any
further straining or boiling, that wiii make
lips smack as they never smacked uuicr
similar influence before.
A better recipe than the above for Black
berry Wine is, — to C quarts of berritf, pat
4 quarts of cold water, let it stand twenty
four hours — mash tbe berries aud stra n it
through a cloth, and to each g*l.oa of juice
put three pounds brown sugar.
At a late meeting of tbe Fru»t Grower*’
Society of Western >’cw York, held at K •
Chester, the influence of salt upon fruit tr s
was di-cusscd. George Ellwuoger said bo
had applied salt to pear and plum tre- s uni
found it produced a wonderful effect; wou i
apply six or "Ught barrels to tbe acre ; wou.i
u*« a.* much as a peck for a large tree, as
an apple tree; U9«s it in February; puts
enough on to make tho ground white
Charles Dowing thought salt good for all
vegetation, but it would do no good to kill
insects. W. P. Townsend had used salt for
many years, with the best results, for quince
tree*. Dr. Sylvester said there was a limit
to the use of salt; it most not be used in
excessive quantities
