What Lincoln’s Administration
has DoNE.—Bennett, in commenting
upon a recent report which Gen. McClel
lan has published in the North, thus sums
up what has been done for the country
by interference with, and removal of that
officer:
The administration interfered with the
peninsula campaign, and, by its withdraw
al of sixty thousand men from the num
ber that had been assigned as nescessary
to carry that campaign to a successful
issue, caused its failure- The administra
tion, by its suspension of Gen. McClellan
in August, 1862 caused the successive
disasters of Pope’s campaign. And the
administration, by the removal of Gen.
McClellan in the fall of 1862, caused di
rectly the* massacre at Fredericksburg,
the greater massacre at Chancellorsville,
the advance of Lee into Pennsylvania,
where the country was saved by the stub
born qualities of our soldiers, and Lee's
eventual escape across the Potomoc, which
gave another year of existence to the re
bellion. All this the administration has
done; but it has not given an effective
blow in the East towards the distraction
of the Confederacy since General McClel
lan was sacrificed to the clamor of the
radicals.
A Truth.— —ls ever Andy Johnson
uttered a truth, an undisputable one oc*'
curs in the first sentence of his procla
mation ordering a bogus election in Tennes
see He commences by saying; Whereas
In consequence of the disloyalty (to the
Lincoln Government) of a large majority
of the persons filling tho offiooe oßtaLUeLcd
by the Constitution and laws of Tennes
see, and of the majority of the 'people of
the State,” etc.
The fact of <c a majority of the people
of the State,” is true, and it is gratifying
that the arch-traitor is forced to admit
it. After’two years rule, supported by the
Federal bayonets, he yet finds a majority
against him. The Stat 6 has been over
ran by a hostile soldiery, the people have
been harrassed and robbed without mer
cy, yet they remain so true that even their
worst enemy is forced to grant them firm
ness. Their spirit and determination in
favor of the cause they voluntarily espous
ed remains unbroken, notwithstanding the
persecutions to which' they have been
subjected. This is granted them, and we
make the reccoad with pride. And we
may add, after enduring all they have it
may safely be predicted of them that
they will never submit —the motto of that
majority is and will continue to be “death
before dishonor.”— -Memphis Appeal.
Mosby’s Latest Exploit.
In addition to, and confirmatory of the
Associated Press telegram we have the
following official despatch, giving some
particulars of the latest exploit of the
gallant Mosby:
Orange C. H. Feb. 28th, 28th, 1864.
Brig. Gen. G. IF. C. Lee President’s
Staf:
Col. Mosby has just accomplished an
other one of his daring exploits near
Drainesville. He attacked a body ot the
enemy one hundred and eighty strong,
routing them completely; killed fifteen, a
large number wounded, and seventy pris
oners, with horses, arms, equipments, &c.
His own loss, one ffilled, four slightly
wounded. On the 26th, he attacked
with sixty men, two hundred and fifty of
the enemy’s cavalry near Upperville, who
retreated before him, killing six
including oue captain. He captured one
liecutenant and seven privates. The
road was strewn ’with abandoned hats,
haversacks, &c. Wagons were impressed
by the enemy to carry off wounded. His
own, loss two wounded.

The Prisoners at Danville—At
tempt to Escape. —The Danville Ap
peal, of the 27tli, says:
The Yankee confined in. prison No. 4,
at this place, were detected, Thursday
night, in an attempt to escape by means
of a “Margan” tunnell. The work had
nearly reached completion, having been
carried about sixty feet beyond the
prison walls, and most artistically fin
ished off. The opening in the prison was
mad under the floor, and the excavated
earth brought back under the prison.
The Tunnell is seemingly the largest yet
attempted, and if completed would easily
have disgorged the contents of the entire
prison in one night. Happily the watch
fulness of the offiieer in charge of this
prison has saved our town from the irrup
tion. -

The Alabama. —The Northern papers have
finally arrived at the conclusion that the Con
federate steamer Alabama is not blockaded in
the port of Amoy, China, as reported several
days ago. The last regular report of the
whereabouts of the vessel came by the way
of Suez. Alluding to this a statement is given
I from the N T ew York Merchants'Exchange s rid
I News Room, as follows:
Singapore, Jan. 4.— The Alabama left this
port on the ,24th ult., and afterwards in the
I Straits of Malacca, burned the British ship
I Martaban. fromMoulmein, and Amerieanships
I Sonora and Highlander.
I The distance from Singapore to Amoy is
I some 2,000 miles, and Captains Baker and
I RanleU, both old and experienced China ship-
I masters, state that it would be impossible for
the Alabama to reach Amoy in nine days, in
I the face of a heavy monsoon.
I Hofrell Cobb says: “A man who is not will
ling to fund his Treasury notes, when the con-
Idition of his county demands it, is not wor
thy of a Government. These are my views
[upon the currency question. They are short,
land quite satisfactory to myself. Will men
[complain of the tax on money and not com-
Iplain of the tax on the blood of their country
|men? Go pay the taxes that our brave sol-
Idiers are paying in losing their heart's blood,
[and then cease to complain of a little taxa
tion upon your money or your property.”
In addition to the prisoners taken by Gen.
Jones, near Cumberland Gap, a few days
since, he also secured about 100 horses, 18 or
20 wagons, a quantity of commissary and
quartermaster’s stores, a large number of small
arms, two pieces of artillery and the entire
camp equippage, including tents of three reg
iments. The capture was made about five
miles from Cumberland Gap, with but very
slight loss on our part. The prisoners taken
belong to the 9th, lltli and 14tli (renegade)
Tennessee regiments.
The Examiner informs us that the Yankee
prisoners at Richmond have all been supplied
with a comfortable outfit of clothing forwarded
from the North. Notwithstanding their asser
tions to the contrary, every article of food, or
stich of clothing, intended for the Yankees,
and sent to Richmond, has been delivered to
them. The action of our authorities contrasts
strangely with that of Beast Butler, by whose
order all boxes and supplies intended for
Confederate prisoners at Point Lookout, are
broken open, and their contents appropriated
to the use of the Yankee hirelings. Some day,
perhaps, the necessity of retaliation will occur
to our rulers.
Fraud and Corruption at Washington.—
The Chicago Times, in replying to the assertion
of the Philadelphia Press, that “the country
never had a purer administration than that of
Abraham Lincoln,” says:
Leaving the Barneys, Palmers, Hurtts and
other thriving official subordinates out of the
question, we have a few questions to make
concerning the administration proper.
Did not Mr. Lincoln give the supervision of
the letting of contracts in St. Louis to his sis
ter, Mrs Grimsley?
Did not Congress censure Cameron for cor
ruption in the management of his office as Sec
retary of War ?
Was not Stanton implicated with Tucker in
the frauds committed in procuring transports?
Was not Welles convicted of granting fraud
ulent contracts to his brother in law, Morgan?
Did not Van Wyck bring to the notice of
Secretary Chase, more than a year ago, the
shameful dishonesty in the New York Custom
House, and did not the Secretary retain the
parties in their positions when their ciiminlity
had been clearly established?
And yet it is asserted that “the people know
we never had a purer administration than that
of Abraham Lincoln.”

Action of the Carolina Banks.
At a meetingjof Delegates for the Banks of South
Carolina held at Columbia on the Ist inst., the
following report was submitted an<^ adopted :
The Committee appointed by the meeting of the
Banka this morning, respectfully report that they
have agreed upon ihe following preamble and
resolutions, and recommended their adoption and
publication:
The Banks of South Carolina hereby call the
attentionjof all coreerned, to the operation of the Act
ot the Confederate Congress, approved February
27 1864, by which all Treasvry notes above the
denomination of five dollars not funded in four
per cent, bonds before the first of April, proximo,
will be then subjected to a tax of 331 percent.,
and they hereby give notice :
Ist. That all persons and corporations having
claims upon them for deposits, Bank balance,
Certificates of Deposit, Checks, Dividends, Ac.,
Ac., shall present their claims and receive pay
ment therof on or before the 19th day of March,
iastant. „
2d, To facilitate the operations of their custo
mers in funding the Treasury notes *in four per
cent, bonds, according to the above Act of Congress,
the Banks will continue to receive tho same on do
posit until the 12th day of March, instant, and to
pay checks drawn against the same, until the 19th
idem—both dates inclusive.
Bd. After the 10th day of March, instant, afore
said, the Banks, in order to avoid, for their de
positors and others interested, the tax of 33£ per
cent., will proceed to fund the Treasury notes
then remaining in their possession in four per
cent, bonds, on account of and for the benefit of
said dopositers and others, ’and thereafter pay all
such claims of the said bonds.
4th. The Banks will continue to receive and pay
out Treasury notes of the denomination of five
dollars and less, and will receive in the same man
ner as heretofore the now issues to be made undar
this Act.
The Finances. —The solitary Depository in
Macon is now funding at the rate of four hun
dred thousand dollars per day, and this
amount will no doubt rapidly increase as we
get towards the end ot the month. What will
the enormous operations of the Depository and
the Tax office in Macon, the plethora of money
in this region to become sensibly less
every day; and* by-and-by we shall find of a
sudden an actual pinch. So for the traders
andspecuulators generally have insisted upon
an advance iu the prices of their commodities,
since the passage of the Currency Act. ol from
thirty-three to fifty per cent., although few of
them, we dare say, will undertake to deny
that the mouey ought to be worth more than
it was before. There is also an apparent un
willingness upon the part of producers to sell
provisions, and, in consequence, iood is scarce
a3 well as high. But we confidently look for
ward to a rebound. Confederate credit has
touched bottom, and will soon begin to rise
towards the snri&ce.r-Mactm Telegraph ,

Camp Walker, 1
Pocotaligo, S. C.‘ Feb. 19, 1864. /
At a meeting of non-commissioned officers
and enlisted men of the 12th Battalion Geor
gia Volunteers, held at Camp Walker, this
day, for tho purpose of considering the sub
ject of re-enlistment, Sergt,. J N. Stubbs, of
Cos. B, was called to preside, and Private Wm.
Preston Hilliard, of Cos. F, appointed Secreta
ry. The meeting being organized, the follow
ing resolutions were read and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, it becomes us, as men engaged in
a contest for social and political existence, for
the right of self-government, for the indepen
dence of tlie Confederate States, and tor the
security and protection of our homes and fire
sides against the ruthless invasion of a mer
cinary and barbarous foe, to express at any
time our sense of approbation of the conduct
of those selected to minister the functions of
our government, And who therefore control our
destinies, and the destinies of those dearer to
us than life, be it resolvfd by tlie men of tlie
12th Battalion of Georgia Volunteers.
Ist. Thai, despite the efforts of designing
politicians, and the machinations of disap
pointed and ambitious politicians, Jefferson
Davis, as the President of the Confederate
States, is worthy our highest respect and con
fidence.
2d. That we regard with feelings of con
tempt and disgust, the man who, at this junc
ture of our political history, would endeavor
to stir up a spirit of dissatisfaction among the
people at home, and regard such a course
when inaugurated by personal opinion, pre
judice, or wounded pride, as well calculated
to defeat the object for which we have so long
labored, aud for the establishment of which
the blood off our comrades in arms has been
freely spilt.
3d. That in our judgment so much of the
legislation of Congress as was conceived in a
spirit of hostility to the present-administra
tion, is injurious to our cause and demoraliz
ing in its effects among the people.
4tli. That the reconstruction of the old
Union of the States, and the social or politi
cal affiliation of the Southern people with
those of the Northern States, is as impractica
ble as the suggestion, under any circumstan
ces, Is insulting to the manly courage and de
termination of our armies.
stli. That we pledge anew our devotion to
the principles of this revolution as set forth
in the Secession Ordnance of Georgia, and
pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor for thfcir maintenance.
6th. That! we anticipate the expiration of
the term of our enlistment, aud cheerfully re
enlist for the duration of this war for inde
pendence—believing that as long as an enemy
to tho constitutional liberties of our country
exists on onr soil, it is but our duty to be
found in arms and ready to meet him.
7th. That we commend to the men who
must remain at home, the example of our wo
mmi, whom we delight to honor, and trust
that they will rather emulate their heroic de
votion to our cause than encourage the ene
mies of the country by unnecessary despon
dency.
Btli. That a copy of these resolutions be sent,
to Congress, to the President, and that they
be published in tho Savannah, Atlanta, Au
gusta, Columbus and Macon papers.

Lincoln In Maryland.—An uncon

perance Temple, Baltimore city, adopted
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That this Convention recog
nizes the spotless integrity, tho unsullied
patriotism, and thorough devotion to the
Union, which have signalized the course
of Abraham Lincoln, during three years
of gigantic rebellion; that his singleness
of purpose in this regard, united to his
appreciation of the fact that slavery is its
producing cause, and our conviction bf its
determination that “slavery must die that
the nation may live,” have won the con
fidence of a large majority of the uncon
ditional Unionists’of Maryland.
Resolved therefore, That this Conven
tion cordially recommends Abraham Lin
coln as its choice, and the preference of
the unconditional Unionists of the State
for the ensuing Presidential term, subject
to the decision of the National Unicw
Nominating Convention,

last some person or persons with malice afore
thought and evil intent, attempted to burn the
residence of our fellow-citizen, John D. Stewart,on

combustible material under the building on the

and the fire discovered in time to save the house.
No clue to the perpetrators of the malicious act has
come to light. Our people willjdo welljto look sharp

The Front.
Tuesday Night, March 1.
The latest intelligence from the front of
Dalton reports the enemy fortifying at Ring
gold Gap. Our cavalry advance is beyond
Tunnell Hill. There is nothing on either
flank, and perfect tranquility reigns at Dalton
and in the surrounding encampments. The
telegraphic lines are re-established to Tun
nell Hill, and the trains will soon run through
to that point— perhaps within the next tweu
tyAour hours.
The spirit of the army siuce the repulsje of
the enemy at Mill Creek Gap is unexampled
in any previous campaign, for confidence in*
themselves and in their commander-in-chief.
The men are cheerful and contented, healthy,
full of fire, and eager for an advance over the
border. Shoes have been issued to nearly all
the commands, and the army generally is sup
plied with comfortable clothing and good
shelter.
At present there is no indications of an ad
vance movement by either army, but stirring
times may be anticipated in the neighborhood
of Chattanooga before the spring is over.

DIED,
At the camp of the 39th Regiment Ala. Vols., on
the morning of the 4th inst., Capt. Wiley E. Jones,
aged twenty-one years and eleven months.
He was among the first of Alabama’s sons who in
the beginning of the war, rallied to their country’s
flag. His delicate constitution soon gave way under
the hardships incident to a soldier’s life and he was
discharged from the army. A few months elapsed
and our young Confederacy was startled by the Don
elson disaster which shook the confidence and pa
triotism of so many, yet he, with health seriously
impaired, appreciating his country’s need, illustra
ted his devotion to her cause by again entering the
service. In a few months he was again smitten
down by disease; a long illness ensued, and his life
seemed to hang by a thread —but he was spared—to
strike a blow in defence of tlie cause so near his
heart. With the meek humility of a Christian and
firm endurance of a patriot he resisted the entrea
ties of his friends to retire to civil life, and struggled
on against ill-health until be was stricken down in
the full tide of hope and bright promise of manhood.
Hu died in the rude home of the soldier, and though
denied the fond endearments of parents and sisters,
he was attended in his dying hour by a loved broth
er and attached friends. He was a devoted son, and
truly the companion of his father. He often spoko
of his Christian homo and the prayers daily offered
around the family altar for the absent ones. A gal
lant officer—amiable and cheerful —with kind and
gentle manners—his loss is one that will be long and
sadly felt.
While the death of one born and reared in the
church and adorned with so many virtues, is to be
deeply mourned, the bereaved ones should remem
ber that the affectionate son, gentle brother, kind
friend and gallant comrade in arms, "fell asleep”
with perfect trust in God, and is now near Him,
"where the weary are at rest,” awaiting the joyous
and eternal re-union. C.
