A Mirror for Yankees.
The gift of seeing ourselves as others see
us. which the Scottish bard deemed so much
to be desired, would be of no avail, says the
Mobile Register, without a minor in which to
see ourselves. Were anything else the subject
of inspection, a good power of mental vision
is all that would be requisite, but it does not
require initiation into any recondite mysteries
to teach us that for purposes of self-inspec
tion some catoprical arrangement is abso
lutely necessa y. If there be any Yankees
possessed.of the coveted gift, we hereby, in
the hope that :t may either directly or by
second-hand fad into their possession, tender
them a nice little pocket looking-glass of
genuine Connecticut manufacture. We find
it in Goodrich's (Peter Parley’s) “Recollec
tions of a Life Time,” Vol. I, p. 29, The au
thor has told how, in his childish days, he
hurt bis feet passing barefoot over a patch of
earth blackened with cinders mixed with
pieces of melted glass and metal, and being
informed that there a house was burned down
by the British in their retreat from the battle
of Ridgefield, and how in answer to his inqui
ries respecting the event he received informa
tion of the outrages of the enemy there and
elsewhere during the Revolution. He thus
proceeds, and in what he says the modern
Yankee will find an admirable mirror to teach
him faithfully how others see him, and will
continue to regard him for generations to
come :
I was thus initiated into the spirit of that
day, and which has never wholly subsided in
our country, inasmuch as the war of the Rev
olution was alike unjust in its origin, and
cruel as to the manner in which it was waged.
It was, moreover, fought on our own soil, thus
making the whole people share, pesonally, in
its miseries. There was scarcely a family in
Connecticut whom it did not visit, either im
mediate!}’ or remotely, with the shadows of
mourning and desolation. The British nation,
to whom the conflict was a foreign war, are
slow to comprehend the depth and universal
ity of the popular dislike of England, here in
America. Could they know the familiar an
nals of our towns and villages—burned, plun
dered, sacked—with all the attendant hor
rors, for the avowed purpose of punishing a
nation of rebels, and those rebels of their own
kith and kin ; could they be made acquainted
with the deeds of those twenty thousand Hes
sians, sent hither by King George, and who
have left their name in our language as a
word signifying brigands, who sell their blood
and commit murder, massacre and rape Ten
hire ; could they thus read the history of
minds and hearts, influenced at the fountains
of life for several generations—they would
perhaps comprehend, if they could not
approve, the habitual distrust of British influ
ence, which lingers among our people. At
least, thus instructed, and bearing in mind
what has since happened—another war with
England, in which our own territory was the
scene ot conflict, together with the incessant
hostility of the British press toward our man
ners. our institutions, our policy, our national
character, manifested in every form, and fi-om
the beginning to the end—the people of Eng
land might in some degree comprehend what
always strikes them with amazement, that love
of England is not largely infused into our na
tional character and habits of thought.
The Sea King. —Captain Semmes, according
the latest foreign papers, has taken in his arma
ment at Madeira : by this time, therefere, he is
once more in blue water, with a Confederate keel
under him, and Confederate guns at his command.
The unpastured sea, says the South Carolinian,
has been hungering for food ; if it remembers the
hand which has so often glutted its great maw
with the spoils of Yankee ships, it must have re
ceived him with its gentlest murmurs and smooth
est mien. Game is scarcer now than when he first
went vessel-hunting in tho noble Alabama, over
the desert of waters ;'but it still exists in suffi
cient plenty to furnish him with the rarest sport.
Twenty-five per cent, of the Y T ankee tonnage is
said to be yet afloat; the remaining seventy-five
he and his brave compeers of the Florida, the
Tallahassee and other Southern pirates have
sometime since driven from the face of the
deep.
Colonel Mosby to Gen. Sheridan.— The follow
ing is a copy of a letter sent to Gen. Sheridan by
Lieut. Col. Mosby. It shows at once the modera
tion and humanity of that gallant and energetic
officer. The fate of his men, brutally murdered by
the enemy, has been avenged on the command guil
ty of the atrocity. The multitudes of other cap
tives taken by him had been treated as prisoners
have a right to expect, and the proposition is indi
rectly submitted to Sheridan that this shall be the
course on both sides, for the future ; all that is nec
essary to secure it being the observance by the ene
my of the rules of war:
November 11,1564.
Afajer General P. H. Sheridan, commanding U. S.
Forces in the Valley :
General—Some time in the month of Septem
ber, during Any absence from my command, six
of my men, whoihad been captured by your forces,
were hung and shot in the streets of Front Royal,
by the order and in the immediate presence of Brig.
Gen. Custer. Since then, another (captured by a
Colonel, on a plundering expedition into Rappa
hannock,) shared a similar fate. A label, affixed to
the coat of one of the murdered men, declared
“that this would be the fate of Mosby and all his
men.”
Since the murder of my men, not less that seven
hundred prisoners, including me. officers of high
rank, captured from your army by this command,
have been forwarded to Richmond; but the execu
tion of my purpose of retaliation was deferred, in
order, as far as possible, to confine its operations te
the men of Custer and Powell. Accordingly, on the
6th in st., seven of your men were, by my order,
executed on the Valley Pike—your highway of
travel. . , ... . A , ,
Hereafter, any prisoners falling into my hands
will be treated with the kindness due to their con
dition, unless some new act of their barbarity shall
compel me. reluctantly, to adopt a line of policy
repugnant to humanity.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
John S. Mosby,
Lieutenant Colonel.
Worthy of Imitation. —4Ye learn that the cit
izens of Dougherty county with a patriotic libe
ralility which we trust to see universally imitated.
haTe donated to the poor of Milledgeville, five
thousand bushels of corn. Mill not some of the
counties who have an abundance, do as much for
the poor of Macon ? There are hundreds of tam
ilies in this city almost entirely dependent upon
; charity for sustenance. The Mayor and many .of
oar noble-hearted citizens are doing all in their
power to alleviate their distress, but owing to the
large number of sufferers, additional help is re
quired. What county will be the first to aid the
poor of Macon ? Eight hundred families, exclusive
of refugees, are suffering for provisions. Shall this
be in a country full of grain ? Send oa provisions
j of all kinds and rest assured they will be properly
applied. The Mayor. Stephen Collins, will receive
and distribute all provisions sent. —Telegraph <f-
Confed-e'at'.
The Front.
We are still without definite information
from Sherman’s army, except that it is feeling
its way cautiously with the cavalry in ad
vance. Nor is it yet possible to determine
the course they intend to take for the coast,
opinions being about equally divided between
the Georgia and the Carolina routes. Our
own i3 that Sherman has no desire for a fight,
and, if not driven from his present intentions,
will seek the seaboard either at Port Royal,
in or Bryan Neck in Georgia.
This is our sarrame of his programme, but he
will find either “a hard road to travel,” with
the hundreds of cannon and thousands of
muskets that will be pointed at him. He is,
however, too far off yet for any satisfactory
opinion to be formed on the subject.
We learu that the Yankee vessels off our
coast were throwing rockets in considerable
numbers Sunday night, with the hope of as
certaining the whereabouts of their lost ex
pedition. They are a long wav out of the se
cret, Even allowing that Sherman is march
ing this way, they will be in full time a week
or ten days hence with their pyrotechnics,—
They- will not get a response before that time,
if at all.
There is no authority for the report that the
Oconee bridge has been destroyed ; at least,
no such information has reached headquarters,
where they keep pretty fully posted on affairs
in that quarter.
The only information of interest received
yesterday was that Wheeler was driving the
Yankee cavalry, under Kilpatrick, at a furi
ous rate, not very far from Augusta, and was
about to force them back on the main body of
their army. This has along been his resort
whenever Wheeler got after him.
Our forces here are daily increasing, new
works are being erected and old ones strength
ened, and we shall soon be prepared for the
invaders, come in what force they may. Three
thousand well tried troops will bo added to
our number to-day, led by one of the most ex
perienced Generals in the Confederacy. Oth
ers are expected in a few days, whilst in Sher
man’s rear a storm is gathering.
[Savannah Republican, 29.
Bhei man seems to be making no progress
in his invasion ot the State. He is no nearer
the coast than he was several days ago He
appears to be hesitating, and acting altogeth
er as though he were caught in a bad box and
don’t know how to get out. Afraid to go for
ward, and cannot go back ; his men and an
imals tired and hungry, with our forces rapid
ly closing in around him—all these things ex
cite the liveliest hopes of his utter destruction.
If these hopes are realized, it will be regarded
by millions of people, North and South, as a
grand preliminary to the closing of the war,
as the surrender of Cornwallis was regarded
in this country and England as the end of the
war of the Revolution, notwithstanding the
British government tried still to carry it on.
We exhort every man, as he deprecates the
continuance of this cruel war, and as he de
sires its speedy termination, to come forward
at once and give us his help. If all will be
done, we can close out Sherman’s big job for
him a little different from what he calculated
on,— Savannah News, 29th.
From the Front.
The invading, or fleeing army of Sherman,
from all accounts, is still in Middle Georgia,
somewhere in the vicinity of the Oconee river,
and has not yet advanced far enough to au
thorize any satisfactory opinion of its destina
tion. It is still where it may march to Augus
ta, Savannah, or Brunswick, or even turn tail
and make tracks for Macon and Columbus.
The latter cities are said to be well defended,
in addition \o their excellent location in a
military point of view. Augusta is now be
lieved to be able to take care of herself, and
if Sherman should take a fancy to come down
this way on the track of the Central Railroad,
or even west of it, lie will find that his troubles
have just commenced. His conduct, at last
accounts, indicated much hesitation and doubt
regarding his free policy. He was advancing
slowly and cautiously.
Os our own forces we need only say that
they are of the right stamp and in the right
place. At the proper time they will give a
full report of themselves, and we shall be
greatly disappointed if it should not turn out
to be entirely satisfactory.
A fight was expected between Wheeler and
Kilpatrick yesterday, and our authorities seem
ed quite confident of a favorable result. If
we can only destroy Sherman’s cavalry, he
will never be able to get far out of Middle
Georgia.— Sav. Rep. 28th.
From Oconee.— We learn that scouts who
returned yesterday report the Oconee bridge
burnt Gen. Wavne fought the Yankees until
their infantry came up and then retired in
good order. He lost a few prisoners. When
the enemy crossed their pontoon bridge, five
hundred dead horses were found. At two or
three cross-roads from a hundred to a hun <
dred and fifty dead horses were lying. The
Yankees killing whatever stock they could not
take off.— Tel. Jf Confederate. LG.

CAPTURE OF LAWRENCEBURG BY FORREST.
From a gentleman just from Florence, we learn
that Hood's army moved from that point on Mon
day, the 20fch inst., pushing forward rapidly by
several roads for Middle Tennessee.
General Forrest, who has been appointed to the
command ®f all the cavalry, was some twenty-five
miles in advance, and captured Lawrenceburg on
Tuesday night with 200 prisoners.
The pontoon bridge upon which our army cross
ed at Florence was taken up on Tuesday morning
at daylight. Three divisions of the Yankee army,
which confronted our force some ten miles north
of Flercnce, retired hastily upon the approach of
Forrest. It is supposed that General Thomas will
concentrate all his availab’e force for *he defence
of Nashville.
Lawrenceburg is about forty miles north of
Florence. j
Thomas is also reported to have concentrated
his forces at Pulaski, thirty miles from Lawrence
burg.
All the garrisons of the Federals in North Ala
bama have been evacuated. Chattanooga is also
reported, by a gentleman who has just arrived
here from Aeworth, Ga., evacuated.

Money Panic and Bankers in England.—
A London correspondent of the New- York
Journal of Commerce says :
The cause of trouble is not altogether, or
even chiefly, to be found in. the cotton specu
lations, disastrous as those have been. The
capitalists of England have ventured to renew
the old method of diffusing their means, and
with a repetition of the old experience. Eng
land is wealthy, but long lines of Spanish
railroads, Egyptian irrigation oa a lavish
: scale, are too much at one time for the heav
iest parse.

Federal Speculations.
The Memphis Bulletion, of tho 14th, inst., say?
that •‘perst.-ns from the South report that Beaure
gard : now in command of Hood’s army.) ha? final
It succeeded in eroosing the Tennessee river, with
an army estimate! at 40,000 strong. It is said
that Beauregard will form a junction, with the
least avoidable delay, with the forces commanded
by Forrest, and that the two together will speedily
; move North for an aggressive movement. Cifacin
-1 nati, Louisville and even Memphis are mentioned
as their probable destination. Indeed, there are
rebel sympathisers in our midst who profess to
have authentic intelligence to the effect that in
twenty days the whole rebel army will be in
our vicinity. Os course all this is mere specula
tion. No one knows the intentious of the rebel
commanders, but we presume that Gen. Thomas is
well informed of their movements, and will see to
it that they obtain no decided advantage in Ten
nessee or elsewhere.
‘Tn the meantime, the sagacious Sherman will
take splendid advantage of this singular move
ment of the enemy. By Beauregard’s movement,
in advancing to the Tennessee, the whole South is
placed at the mercy of Sherman, and we shall be
very much surprised if he does not make good
use of the opportunity thus afforded him.”
If we arc not greatly mistaken, the Bulletin
editor will learn ere long, that his surmises with
' regard to the “sagacious Sherman,” are ill found
ed. Out here things have quite a different ap
pearance. Instead of the wholo South being at
tho mercy el Sherman, that “sagacious” individ
ual is now at the mercy of the South. Tho Bul
j lctin may rest assurd that “things is workin.”

The Tallahassee. —As it has been officially
I announced at Richmond that the Tallahassee has
. returned to Wilmington, there can be no impro
| priety in our saying, that we have seen a letter
! from a gentleman who was on board of her during
| her late brief cruise of ten days, stating that she
j captured and destroyed seven Yankee merchant
! men. In going out of Wilmiugton the blockaders
j bred 40 shots at her, one of which passed through
| the bow, but hurt no one. She experienced a very
i heavy gale, after which, at daylight one morning,
j she espied seven Yankee merchantmen, but the
j sea was unfortunately too rough to lower a boat
I for their capture. A Yankee cruiser then chased
her for three days, wheD, about ten miles from
Beaufort, she gave up the chase and went to that
port, as is supposed, to get other cruisers, aud so
on the same day there appeared seven of them,
one of which, a very fast and large ship, got so
close as to fire Id shots at tho Tallahassee, all of
which missed their mark. The Tallahassee gave
her a few shots in return, and she soon began- to
drop astern, then changed her course and made
for the bar. The Tallahassee made for the beach
and reached it, then steered for the bar also,
and reached and passed it in safety, though the
Yankee had had the start of her.— Charleston Mer
cury, 28 th.
Wilmingtox. — The N. Y. Herald of the 16th
says :
The remark of Mr. Seward in his speech .last
Thursday evening, that if Secretary Wells would
“close up the port of Wilmington ho should have
a good deal less trouble with his foreign relations,”
has excited some remark. It should be known, in
justice to the Navy Department, that it ha* been
ready and anxious for two years past to attack
and close up that great entrepot of blockade run
ners ; but the War Department has never been
prepared to co-operate. The navy is ready now
to do its part towards accomplishing what Sow
ard and the people have so long desired, and if it !
could be done without the assistance ©f the mili- j
tary it would not long remain - a vexation and re- ;
proach, and a source of strength to the enemy.— j
Wheu circumstances are such as to permit the
publication of all the facts in this matter, it will ,
be conclusively shown that, if blame re.-,ts'any
where, it is not upon the Navy Department or the
officers and men of our gallant navy.
There is beginning to be some uncertainty about
the accession of Hon. R. J. Walker to the charge
of the Treasury Portfolio. His private engage
ments are of such a character that it is doubtful
if he could undertake the position if assigned to
it.
Soldier Shot by Gen. Pillow.—“ Shadow,” the
Army correspondent of' the Mobile Register, writing
from Florence under date of the 22d, says that while
stopping at a house in that vicinity a sow days ago,
General Pillow was informed by the lady of the
house that a soldier was killing her hogs. He im
mediately went out and ordered the soldier off. The
latter refusing to obey, General Pillow told him.who
he was, and again ordered him to let the hogs alone.
Determined not to leave without a supply of pork,
the soldier shot one of the hogs, whereupon General
Pillow drew his pistol and fired, killing him on the
spot.
Texas papers state that a short time since a
party, headed by Col. Robinson^took passage
on the Yankee vessel “Jeff Davis,” bound for
New Orleans, went to the mouth of the river,
got the crew and a marine company of sixty
four men drunk, put them in the hold, and
captured the vessel, with a loss of four wound
ed on their side and eighteen or twenty on the
Yankee side. The vessel’s cargo was valued
at $35,000.

Moke Incendiarism. —A correspondent of
the Augusta Constitutionalist says: A few
days since Yankee troops went to Cassville
and burnt every house in it, except five in the
edge of the village. The Court House, Fe
male College, hotels, storehouses, offices, work
shops, and everything, xvith the exception be
fore stated.
The Charleston Mercury of Monday, says a
lage side-wheel steamer passed the bar off that
city, Saturday last, bound southward. She
was laden with troops and had a schooner in

Advantages of Wedlock —None but a
married man has a home in his old age. None
has friends, then, but he : none but he knows
and feels the eolace of the domestic hearth;
none but he lives and freshens in his green
old age, amid the affections of hi3 children.—
There is no tear shed over the old bachelor ;
there is no ready hand and kind heart to cheer
him in his loneliness and bereavement; there
is none in whose eyes he can see himself re
flected, and from whose lips he can receive the
unfailing assurances of care and love. He
may be courted for his money; he may eat
and drink and revel: and he may sicken and
die in a hotel or garret, with plenty of atten
dants about him. like so many cormorants,
waiting for their prey; but he will never
know the comforts of the domestic fireside.—
Marriage has in it less of be vuty. but more of
safety, than the single life; it hath not more
ease.* but less danger ; it is merry and more
sad : h is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys :
it lies under more burdens, but i« supported
bv all the s f rengtb of love and charity, and
those burdens are delightful.
