Friday Evening. 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. ♦- From Jlood f s Army. 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. [Nefma Miesfsgippian , 2 9th. «—♦— * From Mood's Army—At last account Gen. Hood's army was at Mount Pleasant, still moving in the direction of Nashville Our men are represenied to be in tbe finest spirits, and their numbers greatly increased. The enemy are falling back before Hood, aod are believed to be concentrating in Nashville. [Tel. A Confederate, LG. —» qmm 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. f FIVE DOLLARS \ PER MONTH. 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.” [Memphis Appeal. ♦ ■» ♦ 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.

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.
