Taylor, the rebel commander, attempted an
attack on the rear of our forces, with the view
ol cutting off our communications with the
river. With a quick perception of the advan
tages thus opened to us, Gen. Smith aban
doned his communications with the river, and
struck out boldly for Fort De Russey, which,

before the rebels could gain their stronghold.

David Ewart, of Esq., writing of t >kia
to the South Carolinian .says;
While reading an article republished in
your valuable paper, usder date of the
Bth inst., entitled Okra Hemp, the follow
ing thoughts suggested themselves:
1. Tt is a fibrous plant, and as such may
be .converted into some of the useful arts.
2. The seed can be compressed; the re
sult will be an useful oil, equal to, und an
swering most, if not all tiic purposes of
olive oil.
3. The cakes after impression are equal
the cakes of the linseed oil after com
pression for the food of stock.
t. The seed has been often used with
approval as u substitute for coffee
5. The bulb of the seed are eagerly
sought after bv stock
G. The residue of the stalk, after the
fibres will hav > been removed, will an
swer for litter for stock, thereby produ
cing a large quantity of valuable ma
nure.
7. Its value as an ingredient in soup,
and as a vegetable on the-table, alone are
too weil known to require any remarks
from any one.
As to that variety ufthe Okra best auap
ted to the arts, the soil, culture, comports,
manner of preparing and dressing for the

P<> see and Provisions.
The tallacious hope of a short war did
•us infinite harm in the outset. We are
not free from danger of suffering still fur
ther from a mistaken belief that the end
cannot now be remote. “Decisive cam
| paigns,” ‘lntervention/ “Speedy financial
I crash,” &c , &c., are phrases that may mis
| lead and produce much mischief. Per
| haps peace is at hand, perhaps France is
i about to recognize us, perhaps tlie war
i will close this year, but whether this be
so or not, the true policy for us, for every
man in the Confederate States, is to pre
pare for a war ot' interminable duration;
Mexico may recoguize us, France may
recognize us, England may recognize us,
all Europe may do likewise, and wasting,
desolating, devastating war stili go on.—
The war will end when we have whipped
the A ankees—whipped them in Virginia,
whipped them in the Carolinas, in Ten
nessee, in Mississippi, all round the lines
where hostile armies confront each other.
All other dreams of peace are but
dreams. “Providence” does not ever “side
with the heaviest battalions,” but with the
brave, the Resolute, the persistent, the un
conquerable. The army will not so much
need these cautions. Officers and men
alike are in “for the war,” whether that
period be longer or shorter, and few there
be who are not prepared to “endure hard
ships as good soldiers” just so long ns the
\ ankees choose to persist in their attempt
at subjugation. The soldier at least will
none the less discharge duty faithfully
and fearlessly because of the possibility of
an early and honorably peace.
The class most likely to be affected by
these suggestions of an early peace, are
the farmers of the country, upon whose
exertions so much depends. All this pra
ting of “peace,” “peace,” is likely to cause
the farmers to relax their energies, instead
of putting forth the utmost effort to pro
duce the largest possible amount of food
for man and beast. The farmers of Vir
ginia and North Carolina will reason if
peace be so near at hand, there will be no
need of large supplies of grain and forage,
and acting upon this reasoning they will
plant scantily. Suppose, then, the war
does not end, what is the result? How is
the array to lie fed? Whence shall food be
had?
The farmers ot’ \ irginia and North Car
olina ought to raise a sufficient surplus to
feed all the troops employed within the
limits of those States, including ail the
onimalo oi iko urtuic-Oj an 4 v»ill wIICD
they use their utmost eudeavors. The
importance of this is the more evident
when the insufficiency of our transporta
tion is taken into account. The States
farther South can produce and do produce
a large amount of breadstuff*, but the
Government cannot transport them after
they are gathered into the barns of tlfe
planters, and, with an abundance there
the supplies here are inadequate. What
is really desirable is, that the farmers of
V irginia and Carolina should produce
every bushel oi grain and every pound of
forage that they possibly can.
Another tiling: The supply of meat in
the country can be immensely increased
if.our farmers will only use a little fore
cast. Let each man who cultivates an
acre of land turn out a litter of pigs. At
least, Jet every man try and raise pigs
enough to give him a supply of meat for j
his family, it that he done, each man j
will thus become a producer instead of
being, as heretofore, a consumer.
The true rule for every man who owns j
an acreol ground is, to make that acre j
produce every ounce of stuff which it will
bring, with,such cultivation as it may be
in his power to bestow. Self-interest
would dictate this, and patriotism much j
more. No Southern soldier believes that j
the Yankees can whip the South, no South- i
eru soldier dreams of peace without inde- i
pendenee. But a half starved man can- :
not, make more than half a fight, Half
starved horses can only do half the work
of a horse. Give the army bread and
meat; give the horses corn and fodder, and
with the blessing of God, peace will in due
season come, as the reward of well won
and well earned fields.

We are*anthorized by Hon. £. M. Bruce of

ot every Kentifcky soldier w ho limy have lost
a leg or an arm, or been otherwise disabled
in the service during the war, who will attend
school. Having earned their board and clothes,
if they elect to waive a discharge, they have
now an opportunity to secure a good educa

hospitals are located, are desired to see all
who are intended, and induce them to go to
school. All bills will be paid on presentation
to Mr. Bruce at Richmond, properly authen

grammar, penmanship, and mathematics,
thereby preparing themselves for clerical oi
commercial pursuits and the great battle of
life after peace shall again reign in our dis

The Augusta Constitutionalist makes the
charges t hat the journals who have felt con
strained to disapprove the course of Governor
Brown in his assault upon the Confederate
government, are iufiuenced by government
patronage. The Charleston Courier expresses
our own sentiments when it says:
“We regret to see imputations of mercenary
motives brought by a Georgia journal against
all papers that choose to prefer President Da
vis to Gov. Job. E. Brown."
“One of the Richmond journals is specical
organized as subsidized and bought over be
cause it contains Government advertising.
Such charges have not been characteristic of
the Southern press, and should not be brought
without distinct and equivocal proof. An un
charitable world mar think that a proneucss
to such charges may indicate in those urging
them consciousness of liability to such mo
tives. There are papers that have no Govern
ment advertising, but cordially suppoit and
approve generally the course of (he Presi
dent.’’
We hope it will not be considered heretical
or a proof of mercenary bias if we venture to
say decidedly that wo think President Davis,
as a man and as an officer, privately and offi
cially, at least equal to Governor Brown, and
the chances are that, other qualifications be
ing at least equal, he knows a lit tie better
than Gov. Brown what are the duties and res
ponsibilities of the President.
‘•We scorn to retort by imputing any mean
motives to some journals whoso excessive ad
ulation of Gov Brown might give colorable
pretext to such imputations to those who were
prone to them. Wo denounce them, and
hope never 16 see them become the rule with
Southern Editors," — Sav. Ktws.

From Mexico—Sf reparation for
flic \« vv Eutpeiwr.
The English mail steamer from Vera Cruz
arrived at Havana on the 7th, with news from
the Capital of Mexico to the 26th of February.
A ~r' r » 'fiwpQn d ent of the the New Times, at
Havana, sends that paper the following ex
tract from a political review of the 26th ult.,
published iu the Capitol, with reference to
the assumption of the Imperial Crown by
Maximill inn :
“The news of the near arrival of the Sover
eign, communicated by Senor Estrada, Presi
dent of the Mexican Deputation, and which
was brought by thy English steamers of Jan
uary last, and confirmed by the French one of
St. Ma/.aire in the middle ot the present month,
has given rise to every kind of manifestations
of joy, as well iu the capital as in Die princi
pal towns of the Department. In all of them
there has taken place a Te Deum, at which
the Mexican and French authorities were
present, illuminations, bands of music, salutes
and rejoicing. The Regency have ordered the
Imperia) Palace to be repaired and adorned,
and the Emperor’s box to be arranged in our
grand theatre, and are at present examining
the programme of the reception festival which
the municipality of Mexico have submitted-to
them. Various societies of ladies and gentle-*
men are being organized to aid iu tim brillian
cy of the lestivals, and the example <?f the
capital will not fail to be imitated by other
places."
i A letter from Jaurez to Doblado, refusing
] to renounce the Presidency, has been publish
; ed, iii which we find the following topics dis
: cussed:
Doblado had written to him that his with
! draws! would smooth the way for a peace ;
j on the contrary, dartre/, considered it a very
dangerous course to take, ns it would cover
the Liberals with ridicule and introduce an
archy, hesrde covering Jaurez himself with
ignominy for being a traitor to his honor and
duty in thus abandoning, in the time ol dan
ger. that post which the nation bad confided
|to him. He the more feared this as it was not
| certain that the enemy wanted to treat with
i -Ortega, whom they styled a fugitive who had
broken his parole, or with any other .Mexican
who does not previously accept the interven
tion.
On the other hand,- facts- prove to us that
the enemy does not jiropo.se to destroy the
jiower of certain individuals, but the Govern
ment which the nation has given itself. This
is why they ha ve established a monarchy with
a foreign Prince, and why Napoleon has de
clared “that the Mexican expedition has no
preconceived plan except a speedy triumph,
now lie says, obtained and therefore he wish
es to make sure of the interests of France by
bestowing the power on a worthy prince.

Five Dollar Norcs. —The Richmond Sentinel
of the 26th ult. says :
We think that the holders of five dollar notes
will soon be glad to produce them and throw them
into circulation. After the first of April they will
be undesirable as compared with the new currency,
and the smaller notes, for they will have to bo
funded in iour per cents, prior to the first ot July,
or submit to a tax of one-third. So the small
note famine will he ended in a few days.
