than ever, because their doubts are all gone
with their property. Their losses are invest

If defection comes at all, it will come not from
those who have suffered most, hut worn those
-.vho have suffered least, and foolishly hope,
that at the worst, they can make a tolerable
composition with the invader. If it is true
that he who loves much gives much, it is also
true that he who gives much learns to love
rnueh ; and what is true of individuals is true
of States. Compare the late message of Geor
gia’s (Governor with the address of the exiled
Chief Magistrate of Louisiana. 'We have no
far inland Arcadia around which the tide of
invasion has swept innoouous. All have suf

like unto the sorrow of Virginia, and there is
no faith more staunch than her’s.
It is not without reason, therefore, that the j,
yrirn wish is sometimes uttered that the Yan~ j
k* es would give certain lukewarm localities a
taste of their quality, for a touch of Yankee j
does, beyond a question, make all Contederates >
kin. But we hope thai any further chasten- i
ing of this kind is not seriously needed. The
Currency Bill, the Tax Bill, and the Army
Bill all require sacrifice enough at the hands
of the whole Southern community, and we
shall henceforth -erve the common cause with
more perfect singleness of heart, and bear the
common burden with a more patient spirit.
Gunpowder. —The Liverpool (England*
Standard sayg; “Some of the effects 6f ig
nited gunpowder, are wonderful. When gun
powder is heaped up in the open air and in
flamed, there is no report, and but little ef
sect is produced, A small quantity open and
ignited in a room forces the air outwards, so
as to blow out the windows; but the same
quantity confined with aboinh, within the same
room, and ignited, tears in pieces and sets on
fire the whole house. Count Rumford loaded
a mortar with one-twentieth of an ounce of
powder, and placed it upon it a twenty-four
pound cannon ; he then closed up every open
ing as completely as possible, and fired the
charge, which bur3t the mortar with a tre
mendous exylosio and lifted up lis enormous
weight. In another experiment. Count P.um
tord confined twenty-eight groins of powder
in a cylindrical space which it just filled, and
upon being fired, it tore asundpr a piece of
iron which would have resisted a strain of
four hundred thousand pounds.’

Abolition Ulob Violence—Retal
iation in Kind.
The Chicago Times, alluding to the Tri
bune's remarks on a late outrage of or. aboli
tion soldier in the ofiice of the former, says
It is not improper, in this connection! to
add, that when the to be print
ed. by reason ot partisan mob violence,.it is
the purpose-of the Democracy of Chicago that
no other paper shall be printed in the city,
and we have not the slightest doubt that, this
purpose will be executed. And it is not iui
pioper, in this connection, to further add,
that we fear it will he a sorry day lor the peatfe
ot the city when the Time? shall be seriouslv
interfered with by mob violence. We say this
not in the way ot l hrear, but simply to si*are a
tact which will be as obvious to others a? jt j?

A New Expedition by Burnside. —
The telegram founded upon New York
papers of the 21st, says Burnsides is con
centrating fifty thousand men for a second
expedition south from Annapolis, Fed
eral papers ot the 18th were also full of
it. A Harrisburg telegram of the 17th
says:
Generals Burnside and Hancock were
handsomely received by both Houses ol
the Legislature to day. This afternoon
they reviewed in company with Gov. Cur
tin,’the -15th, 48th, 50th and 55th regi

Labor Lost.
The New York 'World’* Washington
correspondent says the Republicans arc
bringing an immense pressure upon Lin
coln to induce him to decline a second
term They will lose their labor. Lin
coln is too well pleased with playing dic
tator to give it up easily. A Dutch cor
respondent of a Boston radical paper hints
the man exactly in the subjoined para
graph, We suspect the black Republicans
ffind that they have committed a blunder
| in arranging that extensive machinery for
! Lincoln’s re-election, but it is now too late
|to correct errors, if Lincoln insists upon
i running:
“As for Mr. Lincoln, he has not the
least interest for me He is, from every
ideal view, a total null—a , good natured
monster, totally devoid of ideas, upheld
simply by his concealed cunning, a quality
which harmonizes so well with coarseness.
Here in W ashington, he has few friends.
All speak of him with contempt. ;! t;
His love of show alone would excite any
republican indignation. The eavah.-ri.sts
hold continual guard at his gate, and two
ini ante lists at the entrance of his door.—
Mrs. Lincoln, they say, wants it so, and to
please her, the republican President must
make lacqueys of a dozen republican citi
zens ovary day. Even in Europe no
Prince permits himself such a humbug.—.
Congress ought to take hold of this matter.
One of the most prominent polticians in
Washington told me he had heard Mr,
Lincoln say, “The best policy is to have
no polioy ,5. all. - 1 replied, “translated
into German, that, means, it is best to have
no principles at all, and as little sense as
possible.” This is aptly expressed by our
German proverb: “He gets along by his
stupidity.” And it is very simply; for
those who are smarter make use of him,
and those who are still more stupid aid
him.”
A correspondent sends us a note of an
incident in the army of Virginia, which,
while it contains a painful evidence of the
sufferings of our soldiers,, illustrates also
the good humor with which they endure
the pain and privation that fall to their
lot.
It appears that the order announcing
the hour of inspection required all to be
in line, save those excused by surgeons.—
It, of course, brought out those who were
bayefooted.
It being a frosty , > old morning, one of
the soldiers being entirely destitute of
shoes, took off his hat and placed it under
his feet The inspector, approaching him
accosted him thus:
Where’s your hat? . .
Soldier—Under nay leet.
Inspector—Why, you wear your hat on
the wrong end !
Soldier—l always wear it on the end it
does me the most good.— Examiner.

The Herald of the Imh, after treating
ot the total failure and prostration of the
late advances and the consequent feeling
ot depression and discouragement in the
North, adds;
"Hut we enter the stniggle under hope
ful auspices in some respects, (Ten. Grant
is now our man on horseback. His
great victories in the west have saved the
country from the destruction that the
blunders ot the administration would have
brought upon it, ami if is to be hoped that
with greater power he will accomplish
vastly more.
fwo hundred thousand men have been
! called for, it. is to be supposed at his sug
| gestion, Her them lie given. We must
not stint in men or money #ow; for this is
to be the final trial. If, with Tien. Grant
at the head, and the struggle as it now is,
we cannot pm the rebellion down in the
coming summer, we can never put it down.
Never again, it we Jail now, shall we be
in so good a position to strike the decis- 1
ive blow. Before another summer a Pre- i
sidential election and an unparalleled po- I
litical strife will tear the country to pieces ,
with intestine quarrels. Let the country
understand this, and rally now in earnest
to support Grant for a final attempt.’’
Let the South, says the Macon Tele
graph, hear and summon her energies for
the final repulse. "This is to be the final !
trial." If the North fails, the failure will
be conclusive. She will never again be
in so good a position to* strike a decisive :
blow, but torn .to pieces with intestine '
quarrels. Now is the time to summon
every em r y and maintain a strictly de

We are indebted to a gentleman from Texas j
who Grossed the Mississippi fiver oneaay hm
Week, for some interesting items ot inform a- .
tion from the Trans-Mississ.ppi Department,
lie represents the condition ot affairs in that
region as more cheering than onr most San
chine friends suppose. The prospect of the
"rain crop was never more promising, and the
outfit of our army has never been so complete,
or the spirit of our troops more buoyant and
confident than at present.
The famous guerilla chief Qnantrell has
been playing sad havoc of late with the Yan
kee farmers who have appropriated the lands
and negroes of the refugee citizens along the
Mississippi river. There is scarcely a planta
tion occupied by the Yankees on the western
side of the river that has not received a visit
from some of his forces, and such is the celer
ity <of their movements, god the summary
manner in which they dispose of captives, that
the greatest terror prevails among the negroes
apd thejr self-styled masters in relation to
them.
/»u r informant is of opinion that but little
profit will be derived from tin- products of
these farms the coming season.
It is suggested to furloughed soldiers and
others who may contemplate crossing the
river, that the utmost caution should be ob
served as to their movements after reaching
the west bank. There are Yankee spies who
mislead them and afterwards turn them over
to the negroes who invariably murder them.
Several of onr men were massacred in this
manner a short time since, but a party of
Quantrell's scouts fell upon the butchering
party just as they had concluded the fiendish
tragedy, and not one was left to tell the tale.
The gunboats which patrol the river afford
' but poor protection to the lighter craft and
j but little is doing in ft commercial way. In
| deed, a trading boat seldom passes without
: receiving- a voile}-, and commanders have a
wholesome fear of our sharpshooters who line
the banks.
We have great hopes of the Trans-Missis
sippi army, and feel confident that it will not
be long before we can give our readers grati
fying accounts from that department.

Georgia Trengiiry ptc§ a;id
Change Bills.
The Legislature in December last, author
ized the Governor to anticipate the taxes this
year, by borrowing the money, or issuing
Treasury notes payable in Confederate Treas
ury notes in December next, to meet the ap
propriations made by the Legislature. We
learn that previous to the late currency act,
the Governor had determined to borrow the
money, from time to time, during the year, as
the State needed it. But since the passage of
that act, which will make a suitable circula
ting medium rather difficult to get hold of for
several months to come, His Excellency, the
Governor, lias determined to issue State
Treasury notes, payable in the new issue of the
Confederate States Treasury notes. The fol
lowing is the form as prescribed by the Leg
i-dai-ure of the new notes shortly to be issued:
“The State of Georgia will pay the bearer
dollars, at her Treasury, on the 25th
December next, in Confederate Treasury notes
issued after the Ist of April, 1864, if presented
within three month after maturity, otherwise
not redeemable except in payment of public
dues.”
The engraver is engaged upon these notes,
a portion of them will bp issued about the
middle of next month. The denominations,
we learn, will be ssoo’s, SLOO’s, sso's, s2o’s,
SjslO’s and $:Vs,
As tfie late extra session of the Legislature
directed the Governor to fund a}l flie Confed
erate Treasnry notes of the old issue, in 6 per
cent, bonds, after the Ist of April, and passed
an act refusing to receive any more Treasury
notes of the old issue for the taxes ot 1864,
the State change bills issued last year ami
this year will also he paid in the new issue of
the Confederate Treasnry notes. We make
ihis statement, that those who may bold the
. n«i.j-c unis may not be imposed upon by
“sharpers” on account of the difference in the
reading of the bills. The change bills merely
read thus :
“Milledgeville, Jan. Ist, 1863.
The State of Georgia will pay the bearer
(cents or dollars) at the Treasury in
Confederate Treasury notes, when presented
in sums of Five Dollars and upwards. u
These bills tvere engraved and issued last
year and this year, before the extra session.
But since the extra session of the Legislature
has directed the Governor to fund all of the
old issue of the Confederate Treasury notes,
and has directed the Treasury notes hereafter
to be issued, to be paid in the new 7 issue of
Confederate Treasury notes, the Treasurer
will also pay all the change bills issued last
year and this year, in the new issues of the
Confederate Treasury notes, after the tiame is
received into the Treasury. —Macon Telegraph.

Biu uiiiic in !\ T ortli Carolina.
We under land official information has been
received at the War Department, concerning
the landing of a large lorce of ihe enemy in
Washington, North Carolina. The force is
said to be under the command of Gen. Burn
side, Whether an immediate forward move
ment was contemplated or not, the recent
heavy tali of snow in that vicinity, together
w r itli the heavy condition in which it will
leave the roads, and the attendant, flooding of
the swamps, w ill put a stop to any advance

Aspect ot Hie Confederacy.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World writes:
Toe first fact which falls nndpr my obser-
I ration, without which it would be impossible
j for any one to form an accurate estimate of
j the temper and resources of the Southern
j people, is the readiness with which they com
j ply with the arbitrary orders of an absolute
government, and the self-sacrificing with
j gbb'h they accept Hie heaviest burdens,
j This spirit pervades all classes. It actuates
j the rich and the poor, and transforms individ
; mil exertions into acts ot tlie highest devotion,
j Whether this absolute devotedness to a wrong
cause originates in the loftiest aspirations or
in tire blindest prejudices, not to say in the
most cruel of all the passions, is not for me
j to say, my provinces being simply to relate
: Gets and not to investigate moral causes.
But that such k the state of public sentiment
; in nearly all parts of the South, not only eye
witnesses but evidences of an unquestionable
character abundantly prove.
j I could mention hundreds of facts in which
| the self-sacrificing spirit to which I have just
‘ alluded has manifested itself in its loftiest
r forms. The hundreds of women who have
sent their husbands and sons to the battle"
field: the hundreds of widows who have par
ted with their last boy. their only support: the
hundreds of citizens who have given their last
dollar; the hundreds of ladies who have given
up their last jewels, and the hundreds ofmin
isters who have shouldered the musket during
riie last month in defence of the sacred soil,
are as many evidences in support of my asser
tion. There is a Captain of a regiment, a
Mr Chatard, sending five hundred dollars to
a Sister of Charity for the relief of the sick
.ami wounded: there i? an Alabama brigade
re-enlisting, with the oath that they will live
on bread alone, .and go bare-footed, rather
than leave a t.he Hag under which they have
fought during the last three years; here I
meet the fact of an old acquaintance of mine,
Howell Cobb, proposing to sell the Govern
ment thirty thousand pounds of bacon and
torty thousand bushes of corn, at its own
price; further, Wade Hampton, the wealthiest
. Citizen ot 8911th Carolina, sending an order
for all Lis slaves, his money, and his Estates
to Jeff. Davis. Add to this the farmers pour
ing their cropy into the Government granaries,
the planters turning their cottoh and rice to
its credit; the people cheerfnlly giving up
eight .hundred millions of dollars of their
hard wrought eufnifigs to be Converted into
bonds bearing a low interest, the payment of
which is by no means certain, and consenting
to he burdened with anew issue half as large,
and you will have a faint idea of the spirit of
devotedness and .self-sacrifice which now ani- i
mates the South, This is not a fancifnlj hut :

A mother went shopping, one beautiful day
And left little Willio at home to play.
The fond mother went, never dreaming of ill
Or that Death, Willing pulses forever would ebiU
Ere the daylight had fled; that the wee busy hands
Would be tuning a harp, ’mong bright Angel bands}
Willie soon tired of his block-house and toys,
And sighed for a c/mai/e,Uike all little boys.
Looking around his eyo chanced to. spy
A bundle of faggots, some one had placed nigh;
And the Angel of Mischief, hovering the while
Put this thought in the head of the innocent child.

And we’ll be so dood ; me’ll build it right dare

The laughing sweet face on Earth ever marred!

That father’s sad heart, mortal oh say?

Crying, "oh papa! oh Golden! me didn’t know

SSMukder. —A letter from Lowndes county, Ga.,
dated March 11, states that Mrs. Elizabeth Key, a
widow lady, started from her house in Emanuel
county, near Swainsboro’ one day last week, on a
visit to her friends in the neighborhood. She was
subsequently found dead in an old well, with her
hands tied together with her apron strings and the
apron tied over her head and face. The perpetra
tors of the deed are unknown.
The following precious paragragh is from the news
editorial of the N. York Herald, of the 16th:
It is stated by our correspondent at Norfolk that
Gen. Kilpaterickpositively affirms that the instruc
tions found on the person of the late Col. Dahlgren
did not contemplate the‘‘assassination” of Mr. Ha
vis, or any member of his Cabinet, as stated in tho
Richmond papers; but only that he should kill, or
cause to be killed, Mr. Davis, if, after capturing
him, he should attempt to make his escape. It is
further alleged that it was only public property
wnich was to have been destroyed in Richmond,
provided the Union troops got a chance to destroy
any property there at all, which, it appears—owing
to the treachery of that unhappy negro'guido whom
Colonel Dahlgren hung—thev did not* get fur the
present.
It would be better, rather than dispute tho plain
words of Dahlgren‘s papers, to lie boldly like the
New York Evening Post, and proclaim that they
are spurious.
Tlie Conscription--'Forefg'ner!r.
We learn that the authorities have at last
taken measures to upply the conscription law
to the vast number of pretended foreign resi
dents in the Confederacy. They will be put
through a series of searching interrogatories
by officers of the eonscripiion. They are re
quired to set fortii the town or county and
State of theii birth ; the time at which they
became citizens (if not natives) of the State or
county of which they claim to be citizens;
whether their parents or nearest relatives re
side in the Corijfederacy: and if so, the length
of time they have resided here; the age of the
parties claiming exemption; the length of
time they have resided iji this country, and
circumstances under which they came; the
nature of the business engaged in, and wheth
er as owner or agent: if married, whether in
the Confederacy or nor, also the number of
their families; if owners of property in the
Confederacy, and whether real or personal ;
whether owners .of properly in this country or
State of which they claim to be citizens; and,
if so, the nature of it: whether they have vo
ted in the Confederacy; and, in cases of par
ties claiming protection of European powers,
whether they have voted .in or declared their
intention of becoming citizens of the United
States; whether under the act of the Legisla
ture of Virginia appropriating salt to be sold
to her citizens, (they availed themselves of the
privilege of drawing; whether they have ex
pressed an intention of becoming citizens of
the Confederate States, and if they are now
residing in tlie| Confederate States, with that
intention; if they intend returning to the
country of which they claim citizenship, and
if so, the time at which they expect to return.
These facts must he certified to on oath, and
must be corroborated by the affidavit of at
least two respectable persons. We are curi

of this examination, and do not doubt that
the result will be a large addition to the con

extended from thence to a stable on the adjoining
lot of Col. F. G. Wilkins. The firemen were
promptly on the spot, but owing to the prevalence
of a strong western wind both tenements were en
tirely consumed. Col. Wilkins lost a small amount
of corn on his place. Through the well directed
and timely exertions of the firemen, the contiguous
buildings were saved, though it seemed q*, uue
time the flames would communicate. Owing to
.tlje disadvantageous circumstances under which
the Si’emes were compelled to labor, together \y >tb
the high winds, we deem it very fortiiuate that
the devouring element was confined to the small
W uilen tenements in which it originated.

"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious
Summer.’’
Still in Luck. —We take pleasure in returning
many thanks to Master Robert P>. Jones for a
splendid package of smoking tobacco, which we
have tested through tiuit tremendous stem previ
ously alluded to, and can pronounce it a first-rate
article. Bob says it takes so little to make Locals
happy that he could not resist, the temptation to
do one good deed. But ain’t we Locals having a
good time ?
Master Robert informs us that lie is winding up
his mercantile transactions, with a view to enter
ing upon the duties of a traveling news and book
agent between this point and Wilmington, N. C.,
and we take pleasure in recommending him to all
with wb»Ut he may come in contact, as a youngster
of good habits, good principles, good business
qualities, and untiring energy and industry. We
predict for him a VWU of success in bis new field of
operations.
The Moral Courage Question. —The Local
of the Enquirer retorts at length in his issue of
Tuesday on our article on this subject, in which
ho establishes in a light as clear as mud, that we
are morally deficient in this great principle, and
in order to make assurance doubly sure, he drags
forth baek mi outers on us as far in the past as
twelve years ago, when in the hey-day of young
manhood’s visionary dreams, we used to be seri
ously affected in the affairs of love, aud vainly
strove to awakeu kindred sentiments in the heart
ot a fair "ladye'' at Eufaula, by the dulcet tunes
of a cracked flute. Ah ! mine ancient, you touch
ns on a chord here that vibrates to the moat en
chanting melody. What a caravan of delightful
memories doe?, that period recall' All the concen
trated bliss of a life see;us to cluster around those
brief sunny years. ’Twast ttyt "tide in the affairs
of men, which, when taken at the flood, leads on
to fame aud fortune,” but alas ! as is too often
the case, if was suffered to pass unimproved. How
sad to think, that youth .with all its ideal dreams
must pass, its ambitions perish, its flowers of feel
ing wither, its dearest hopes decay ; and we must
pass on from those sunny scenes to the lengthen
ing shadows and corrosive cares incident to the
western slope of human life. But --till memory de
lights to contemplate the past, for
“The mind will in its wont despair—
Still ponder on the past—
On moments of delight that were
Too beautiful to last.
To long departed years extend
Its visions with them flown ;
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.”
But you must be careful, Joe, how you drag up
those ghosts of the past. We have an* excellent
back number against you connected with those
days of “Lang Syne," which through respect to
your feelings, we forbear .to call up. Still, if you
goad us on too Jar, we might accidentally let it
slip.

South eh x Exticruhisk.—The enterprising firm
of Harrison, Bedell A Cos., it will be seen from ad
vertisement, are now engaged at their establish
ment on Triangle street, manufacture of
Shoemakers’ and Saddlers’ tools. As there is a
great need for these articles throughout the Con
federacy, the attention of Quartermasters, contrac
tors, and others is especially invited to ibis mat
ter, from whom orders are solicited. We congrat
ulate the Ann ou the energy and industry which
baie thus enabled them to meet the wants of the
public in this important direction, and trust that
abundant success may crown their efforts.
ihe Jeuit Chou Ci t Oft.—From personal ob
servation and reports which reach us from vari
ous sources, we are sorry to be compelled to re
cord the painful fact that the fruit crop Las to a
large extent been cut off iu this section, by the re
. cent severe treeze. There are in spots ami favored
localities some scattering peach trees that were not
sufficiently advanced to be killed, from which a
small yield may be expected, miles? future reverses
should follow, but tbe great bulk of this delicious
fruit is not only killed, but tbe blooms and incip
ient fruit are dried up on the trees. The crop of
apples will probably fare better.
The Steamer Jackson. —This sprightly little
steamer, which has heretofore been such an accom
odation to our pouple, we learn has been trans
ferred to 1' lint River, for the present, for the trans
portation of government freight. Wo trust this
change is but temporary, for the Jackson has =o
long made herself useful on the river, that we
have come to regard her and Ca-pt. Fry as true
and indispensable friends.
