Their hearts nre in their treasure. 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 fered and all are true. But there is no sorrow 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.’ Bonds Stolen from the Treasu ry Department We have been requested by the Register op the Treasury, says the Richmond Sentinel, to call athe attention of the public to the num bers and denominations of the coupon bonds recently stolen from his office in the Treasury.

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? to us if others choose in put themselves ;. t iln chamiel of current infocmatioa. Elsewhere abolition mobs seem in have had unobstructed saturnalia, l'hcy will cot have !his in Chi->- cago. The Times, commenting on the general law lessness in the west, savs : The outrages by roving soldiers, ju i now so general, are ofcoorceby the consent and encouragement, tacit or otherwise of the o ffi cers ot that soldiery : and they are, 100, tin legitimate consequence of the teaching’s of numerous abolition Generals, politicians, and ana, almost without exception of the aboli tion press.

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 ments. These regiments are under,march ing orders for Annapolis, where General Burnside’s corps eonecntrat.es General B. evidently goes to North Carolina again. 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? . .

Froiii fraati- i 'Mls^ sß *Pl , k 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. [ Mississipptan , 27 th. 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 interior for some days to come.

Indismajed and Belligerent 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 : real picture, rather below than above truth. u SILIGHAPHIQ.

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.

These facts must he certified to on oath, and must be corroborated by the affidavit of at least two respectable persons.

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.

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.
