ifflitMto Vrnts. *J. W. WARREtf* - - - Editor. Wednesday Morning, August 10, 1864. Off Again. From passengers who came over yesterday morning from Macon we learn that an official dispatch had been received there stating that another raid of formidable preparations had test Sherman’s lines. The report places the number at ten thousand. We trust that our people and authorities, instructed by Stone man’s late demonstration, will be prepared to receive them. We should be constantly on the lookout for such expeditions so long as Sherman retains hi? present position. The surrender of Fort Gaines is one ot the moat disgraceful incidents of the war. Wheth er the result of cowardice or treason, the con duct of Col. Anderson is infamous beyond comparison save with the base surrender of Cumberland Gap by Frazier. There are some circumstances connected with the affair which we are unable to explain. (Jen. Page crossed over to Fort Gaines on the night preceding the sui render and found the commander of the Fort aboard the Yankee fleet arranging the terms of capitulation. He relieved the latter of command and returned to Fort Mor gan. We cannot understand why Gen. Page did not remain until Anderson returned and place that gentleman in irons, feuch a course, perhaps, would have cured the demoralization of the garrison and saved the Fort. It may be, however, that the disease had gone too far to lx* relieved by such treatment. We trust that our Mobile cotemporaries will be able to unveil the whole matter. Tlie lineimy's Movements. For mouths some of the citizens have in dulged the. opinion that our fortifications could not prevent a properly organized fleat from entering the bay, and their calculations were based on precisely the same mode which was adopted by the enemy. Admiral Farra gut lashed all his tender vessels together and flanked them with his iron clads, and thus moved in abreast, with all steam on. The re sult we have before us. They all got in, not withstanding the vigorous opposition of Fort Morgan. They are within the bay, and now what is to follow ? Conjecture here may not be at fault. Fort Powell being evacuated, a few hours' work will remove the obstructions in Grant's Pass, and then there will be uninter rupted communication with New Orleans. Thence the enemy can supply his vessels with all that they need. The forts arc of no use at all to prevent this ; and thence, also, he can bring as many men as he has at command for a land attack on the city. The probability is —if this be his programme—that he will at tempt a landing somewhere near Dog River, and march from that point, d’ appni. Then we shall get him to a position where his ves sels cannot help him—providing he is not able to come with them to the city’s front—and thus we shall have him where the courage and skill of our troops will be of some avail. We can meet him there with some advantage of position, and, we trust, great advantage of courage and determination. Tt is impossible to imagine how he will get the forces necessary to make this kind of ap proach prudent. But, as we have been often disappointed in our estimates of his resources, he may gather troops sufficient to justify him in making the attempt. It, is by this means, then, that ho expects to subjugate .Mobile, and the fact—for it looks like a fact—will show what our policy is, and what is needed of us on land. Wc hold it to be totally impossible for this city to be taken by this process, if behind its defences there be men of valor and determination.— Mobile Tribune , Htb. Aii Eloquent Hiiloi?) of (>reii«i-al Lee. In the New York Metropolitan Record of July 22d, we find an admirably written re view of the Federal campaign of 1864, copied from the Montreal Telegraph, from which we extract the following: So tar. we repeat, the campaign has failed at all points. The Federal armies have been hurled to certain slaughter with a cold-heart edncss worse than devilish. No General ever exhibited so great an indifference to the lives of his soldiers as Grant. It is impossible to say that his army has not fought well, and endured all the hardships, dangers and labors of the campaign with heroism and docility. They were directed by a butcher, and opposed by the greatest General of this or any other age. Posterity will rank General Lee above Wellington or Napoleon, before Saxe or Tur renne, above Marlborough or Frederick, be fore Alexander or Caesar. Careful of the lives of his men, fertile in resource, a profound tactician, gifted with the swift intuition which enables a commander to discern the purpose of his enemy, and the power of rapid combina tion which enables him to oppose to it a prompt resistance : modest, frugal, self-deny ing, void of arrogance or self-assertion ; trust ing nothing to chance; among man, noble as the noblest, in the lofty dignity of the Christian gentleman . among patriots, less self-seeking, and as pure as Washington ; and among sol diers combining the religious simplicity of Havelock with the genius of Napoleon, the heroism of Bayard and Sydney, and the un tiring. never-faltering duty of Washington. If this great soldier had at his command the forces and material against which he is called on to contend, the superiority on land and the supremacy on water, in six months the whole Federal States would be prostrated at his feet. As it is, lie has made his own name, and that of the Confederacy he serves immor tal.. * ♦ Worthy of Note. —We are informed (says the Mississippian) that after the sermon of Rev. J. J. Hutchinson, delivered in the Meth odist church at Summerfield last Sabbath, a collection was taken up for the benefit of tbq ; widows and orphans of soldiers and maimed soldiers scattered over our country. whenUol. R. A. Baker and Mr. Davis each subscribed >5.000. and the handsome sum of $20,000 was ' raised in a few minutes. Such patriotism is ; commendable, and speaks volumes tor the patriotic citi/.ens ot our delightful little sister town of Summerfield. Lager beer is now retailing in New York at ten Cents a glass. That is astor shing the Gentians, who lay the blame on Secretary Chase. The Raiders in Covington.—An Oxford corres pondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist says: A citizen of Covington, a poor, but honest old man* named Jones, went out deliberately into the street as they entered town, and shot down one ot their men, exclaiming: ‘‘Nobody will fight for m> country, 1 will.” He turned round the corner ol a -treet. loading his gun as he went. Entering an other street, he raised his piece anu shot another dead, said to be one of the nest scouts m the \an kee army, nethen clubbed his gun and fought with that until he fell pierced with bullets and covered with blood. , Another citizen, Mr. George Daniel, of Coving ton, was taken out of town and shot by them on 'bo pica that they caught him with fire arms. Many ot the citizens who claim to be cognizant of the tacts m the case, pronounced his death a cold blood tttwrdo}’- On Thursday, the 27th, wo were visited "ii'S sll “ another raid.

S. steamer Gaines we $r e tel lowing i particulars of the na\ * gagement on ' Friday last: At about half past 6 o’el ck in the mor ning the enemy’s ships approached Fort Morgan three abreast. The first line nearest to the fort were of monitors, the next smaller vessels, and the third still smaller. One monitor was sunk on the first at tempt, and all on board went down, except four men, who were saved by taking to a small boat and making for the fort. They represented that she had 117 persons, all told, on board. Our informant says that twenty-three j of the enemy’s vessels succeeded in run* ning in. As soon as they were fairly in side they were cut loose from each other, and the fight commenced, our vessels, the Tennessee, Gaines, Selma, Morgan, and also the Fort Morgan, entering spiritedly | into it. It was carried on most vigorouslv by all of them for at least two hours and a ! quarter, during which the Gaines was struck seventeen times in her hull, besides several times in her upper works. Being in a linking condition, the men beached her. She lost two killed and six wounds j ed. The Selma fought nobly, but was ; overpowered and captured. We are uns able to ascertain the number lost on her. The Morgan received but slight injury, | and got within range of the fort. After the engagement, the Yankee ships huddled together some few miles up the Bay. The Tennessee was then under the Fort, and after a. pause in the battle of some half an hour, she steamed up, made for the enemy, and recommenced the con test, which is represented to have been most terrific. It lasted for at least an hour. During this engagement, her smokestack was knocked away even with ; her deck. Her steering apparatus was ’ destroyed, so that she became unmanages ; able, and the Admiral was compelled to surrender. While the fighting was progressing, a i little low pressure steamer, called the Phillipi, attempted to take advantage of 1 the excitement and pass the Fort, but a | shot disabled her and killed one man. The Morgan then went out and burnt her. The crew of the Gaines made their way to the city last night in small boats. At about eight o’clock last evening a flag of truce boat was sent from the ene emy to Fort Morgan, asking permission to bury their dead at Fort Morgan, and to send their wounded to Pensacola. Not being in proper form, it was not assented to. Others say, that Admiral Farragut sent a message to Gen. Page si tting that he had Admiral Buchanan on board with his leg amputated, and that he wanted permission to pass the forts to take him to Pensacola, where his wound would be better cared for than on board of the ship. Gen. Page replied that if he would send Admiral Buchanan to the fort, under pa role, he would transport him to Mobile, where he would receive all the attention required. Nothing was made known in respect of the enemy’s loss by the flag of truce, but it is generally believed by those who par ticipated that it was very heavy—that at least 500 or 600 were killed and wounded. From information received this morn ing, we learn that two of the enemy’s ves sels engaged Fort Powell yesterday, (Fri day,) on the north side,, and had done so much damage (there being no guns moun ted to repel an attack from that quarter,) ; that the garrison blowed up all the works j and got safely off, except one young man, ; (named Richards,) who was on guard on | the wharf. They are now on their way jto the city from Cedar Point.— Mobile Tribune, Bth. A Thrilling Historical Remin iscence. It is related that during the progress of the French Revolution. the Girondists attempted to arrfcst the frightful massa- ; cres in which the Jacobins were engaged. ! The strife between the two parties was terrible, and Murat, fearing the fall of i his party, told them they ‘‘must strike in* to the hearts of our foes.” In the Con vention the strife knew no bounds, for it was well known the victorious party would consign the other to the scaffold. The Jacobins finally overawed the Girondists by the mob and declared them guilty of treason. The city was illuminated by or der of the convention and the members traversed the streets, leading the doomed men. They were placed in the Concire gerie, where they struggled to sustain and prepare each other for that fate they knew to be inevitable. On the 30th of October, 1793, the prisoners were carried to the judgment bar surrounded by cav airy, infantry and artillery. Os course they were doomed to the guillotine. When the sentence was pionounced, Yalaze drew forth a dagger and drove it ; through his heart, falling lifeless to the floor. Another victim shouted “This is the most glorious day of my life !” About midnight the victims were marched back to the Conciergerie, their voices reverber ; ated through the corridors of the prison and echoing through the streets as they chanted the Marsellaise Hymn. The re mains of Yalaze accompanied them, as it was decreed an axe should take off his ; lifeless head, and all the trunks would be interred together. ’Twas past midnight when the leaders i of the*Girondists returned to the prison hall. In the morning they were to die. Some friends resolved to give them a final funeral banquet, and soon a large oaken table was covered with luxury and splen • dor. Viands of meat and wines were in abundance. Rich and rare flowers bloom ed before them in vases, and servants moved about with brilliant lamps supply ing their wants. France's eloquence and brilliancy sat around . that table taking their last repast and conversing until night commenced casting aside her dark garb. “We shall sleep to-morrow," said one, “after the fatigues of the day to wake no more. Death is but endless slumber “No," responded Fouchet? annihilation is not our destiny. There bodies perish. There thoughts never die. To-monow, in other words, we shall think, feel act.’ “Death," said the eloquent Vergniuud, “is the greatest act of life. It introduces us to a noble existence. Were it net >o, . there would be something greater than God. * God will not suffer Yergniaud to ascend tomorrow the scaffold but to justify and avenge him in future ages.’ Day had crept into the dungeon and (some of the doomed men sought a little repose, while others set about preparing last letters to friends and families. About 4 o’clock the executioners with their guard came in, and the long hair was cut from the heads, that it might qpfe stand in the way of the ax. Poor Gehsonne stopped and took up a lock of his to send to his wife. “Tell her,” said he, “it is the only memorial of my love which I can transmit to her, and that my last thoughts in death were hers.” Yergniaud sent his watch to his betrothed with a few lines scratched thereon. Soon the Girondists were in the carts passing through the streets singing the Marsel* laise Hymn, while the countless thousands thronged the streets to take a last look. Loud and sonorous was the strain as they neared the scaffold. Arriving they all embraced it and then resumed the chant, while one after another ascended the scaf fold, only giving up the song as the head was severed from the body. There was no faltering—no giving way; but as head after head passed into the basket the song grew more weak. The brave Yergniaud soon found himself alone. He stepped forward and moved slowly but steadily up the scaffold steps, the song meantime hav ing died away into a soft mellow sweet ness, Looking upon the headless bodies of his numerous comrades below, he coma menced anew the strain : Come, children of your country, eome. The day of glory dawns on high, and gave himself to the executioner. A slight pause, the ax fell, the head passed into the basket and the eloquent lips were forever sealed. This is about one of the most thrilling tragedies to be found in the annals of the French Revolution. A Biter Bit. We find the following correspondence in the Mobile Advertiser & Register : C. S. Steamer Morgan, | Off Fort Morgan, Aug. 4,1864. f Messrs. Clark and Forsyth , Editors Advertiser .j- Register : As your recent essays on the Navy and the Mobile Squadron, in particular, seem to show you to be possessed of a courage quite un common, as well as an acquaintance with carrying on Naval warfare, quite marvellous for gentlemen leading peaceable lives like yourself, I feel particularly anxious to obtain the services of two such valuable recruits,and have, therefore, at the suggestion of some of my brother officers, taken the liberty of ad dressing you this letter for the purpose of re questing the favor of your company on board of my vessel when the expected engagement with the enemy’s fleet takes place. I prom ise that you shall have the most conspicuous position on board and the fullest opportunity to display your bravery and knowledge. As patriots you will, lam sure, jump at the op poitunity thus offered to serve your country. Very respectfully, Your ob't servant, GEO. W. HARRISON, Commander C. S. N. A thousand thanks to Capt. Geo. W. Harri son, of the C. S. steamer “Morgan,” for his polite invitation, and we have to regret that it was only received yesterday morning, “the day after the wedding.” Had it been in our power to have accepted the invitation and had we “occupied the most conspicuous position on board,” we should still have been in the land of the living to acknowledge his courte sy, for “the most conspicuous position” ap pears by the result of the fight to have been an eminently safe one. Except an engineer, “slightly wounded,” by a splinter, “nobody was hurt” on board the Morgan. We respectfully suggest to Capt. Harrison that we have no doubt of his full capacity to manage bis ship without our counsel or assis tance. and that we are equally competent to take care of this press craft without his. We have both our spheres of duty to till,'and it is no disparagement to his command to say that ours is largely the broadest and widest when regarded in connection with the vital interests of this great struggle. If we have fired a press bolt at any ot the croakers of the Navy whose business it has been to run down the prestige of the Confederate Navy, and to exalt that of the Yankees on all occasions, and that bolt has happened to hit Capt. Harrison in some sensitive part, it is his fault in putting him self in the way of the shot, and not ours; for neither he nor his officers, his crew, nor his ship were in our thoughts. When we de nounced the croakers in the Navy we spoke in the interest of the honor and true well be ing of the ( Navy. Capt. Harrison has not been able to see this, which is his misfortune, and not our fault. Like a great many before him he has excitedly “rushed into print” wh'en he had better kept out of it. Bolted and Unbolted Flour. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier sends that excellent journal the following, which we recommend to the attention of our readers : 1. It is more economical. One bushel of wheat will make sixty pounds unbolted, but only forty pounds of bolted flour. We raise in the Confederacy at least twelve million bushels of wheat, which is only about two bushels per'head. If this is ground and bolted one third or four millions must go to waste in the form of shorts or bran, but using it unbol ted it would be saved, and at twenty five dol lars per bushel, the snug little sum ofone hun dred million of dollars would be saved* 2. It is healthier and more nourishing than bolted—the bran and shorts contain the most nutrition—the bolted flour contains mostly starch. 3. It is more palatable : it has the natural sweet taste of wheat,, which is lost by bolt ing. 4. Any common corn mill can make unbol ted flour. To bolt flour requires a complica ted lot of machinery. The army could have portable mills and maketheirown flour when ever wanted. The same mill will grind un bolted flour three times as fast as bolted. 5. Unbolted flour will keep sweet any length j of time, which is not the case with bolted. 6. Lastly: Unbolted flour is to bolted flour as a red flannel shirks to a nice ironed linen shirt with a standing collar. The shirt is cheaper, healthier and more convenient—the latter costs more, is not as healthy and more trouble to be kept in order, but it looks much nicer, particularly for a dandy. Now is the time toact upon it. as the wheat of this year's crop is commenced to be used. The men in authority should prohibit bolting flour made of wheat, and I assure you that such a prohibition would be a real benefit to every one without exception Not Aware of It.—During the past few days the act of suspending the writ of habeas cor- j pus, has become void by limitation, and that ; great safe-guard of civil liberty has been re-instated j in full force and virtue. From the sighs and groans l uttered over its suspension, we ought to infer that the people must feel greatly relieved now that the agony is over: but, truth to tell, we don’t believe that as many as half £ dozen of them thought anything about the matter. It was an in tangible grievance, and the public at large would never have felt it, except under the eloquent warn- i ings of the politicians. They were in the case of the aggrievd suitor at court, who never new what he had suffered till his counsels told the jury all about it. But the truth is, no patriotic man had any prae ■ ' deal knowledge of the suspension of the habeascor pus, and he has as little of its revival. Neverthe less, rejoice that the great bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty is restored. Dismiss your fears, ve cham pions of States rights, and popular freedom, and let us ail feel a? safe and happy as the Yankees will permit us to do.— Ma-on TO.

And soon its deep blue field Was dusted with stars, Like the diamond bars Os light, from the warrior’s shield. Slowly across the guilt sky, Like a net-work of silver lace. The white stars blew: While the stars glanced through. Like the light through a crystal vase. Through the mist of fast falling tears Gleamed softly, a golden glow,— A path of quivering light With a pearly radiance bright, That led frojp the stars to the dark earth below. Then I caught the gleam of an angel’s brow, While a voice I had missed for long years, Said: ‘‘The glimpses of Heaven That to mortals are given, Are all seen through the mist of tears!’’ Then I heard the rush of silver wings! A thick cloud of shadows passed by, Like a blackened flood. And alone I stood, Under the cloud-wreathed sky! Springs, Aug. 6th, 1864. From the Southern Field and Fireside. Mountain Bugle Song for Battle. BY WM. GILLMORE SIMMS. Let the Bugle blow along the mountain— Bugle blow ! Shrilly blow ! We must leave the pleasant grove and fountain: Arm for battle speedily, and go! For the storm is gathered on the highlands: It has swept with fire the plains below, And up, from green savannas and fair islands, Pours the foe—pours the cruel foe! Bugle blow for battle—shrilly blow! We must meet the foe—the hateful foe! Blow fearlessly and fast, O! mountain bugle Blow! blow 1 blow! See, as blows the Bugle, how they gather! Bugle blow 1 bugle blow! There rides up the old and bearded father, And the son is speeding from below! We must dye in purple this green heather, We must free a country from the foe; And o’er mountain summits clad in snow, Bugle blow for battle—shrilly blow! Though we perish, we must strike the foe! Blow fearlessly and fast, O! mountain bugle. Blow! blow ! blow! Lo! they come—the bands from Connesauga ! Bugle blow! bugle blow! • And the rugged hunters of Watauga— Rifles ready shotted for the foe ! From the vales of Cumberland they gather. And from slopes of green Saluda, lo! There the beardless son and bearded father, Eager all to grapple with the foe! Bugle blow for battle—bugle blow I We must crush the foe—the insolent foe ! Blow fearlessly and fast, O! mountain bugle.
