FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1865.
Gbn J. E. Job *toh. —sV'a learn, on excellent
authority, this .Umtrjous commander has gono to
Charleston with G<*v. Magrath. It is rumored,
the Constitutionalist, of the 14th, that the
President will ra lopoint him to command. There
is no disposuibn > < ineed to allow Sherman to have
his own way on ins coas; ; ho will, probably, .find
his old antagonh it" his front.
Tlie Register i grafified to stato that the mein
crop of Alabama tod that part or Mirsistippi not
occupied by the r .emy, will bo very huge this
season. Itarriv - at the couelusion from inquiry,
that the yield idouble this year what it was last,
and in some c -unties of this State planters have
bren selling their surplus of green pork at s dol
lar a pound. But for the f*i!uro-of Hood’s cam»
paign and the panic created thereby ir tho gold
market, there was every promise of a descent iu
the scale of prices, for both meat and bread.—
But the terrible blunders •? that ill-starred expe
dition are, fortunately, not irrctreavable. Rest,
and anew commander enjoying tho confidence of
the troops and the country, will soon restore tho
morale ofth« Western army, and enable it to wipe
out the mtifortansa of the past and bring fruitful
victory ones more to its standards. lull crop
of aicat is an element of great strength, securing,
as it does, {ho anility of uis Government to sus
tain its m-aues in tho ikLi, So long a* this can
be done, subjugation is an impossibility.
A letter dated Okalona, Miss., January loth
says: Gan. Gholsoa,Vhostt arm was amputated at
the shoulder, was doiug well yesterday.
A correspondent in the army writes that the
Many idle rumors afloat iu th» country about de
moralization of Hood's command, nre false, and
should net be credited. Let the peopl* at horns
ouly remain firm and steadfast, for I assure them
that a few months of rest, so much needed, will
restore proper tone te the army es Tennessee.—
Their deeds n*x; snriag will show that it i# net
yet whipped eud never can be.
The telegraph reports the Federal forces in Tan
uessee concentrating at Florence and Athens. This
indicates a movement into Alabama, and loftks as
if tho army at Corinth and Tupelo would be
watched by the column at Florence, while the
ether column will actively operate in another di
rection. The threatening aspect of these Federal
preparations may not be disregarded.
Tli 55 Loss ON YHB CSNTUAT, RAILROAD.—
Gapt. S. (A Myers, who reached Grenada on
his way homo the day after tho Yankees were
there, and who came down the road from there
to Canton, informs the Brandon Republic that
the destruction to the road, and to property in
the vicinity of the road is rory heavy. Every
station on the road front Grenada to Canton
has been burned, every wa’er tank except one
has been destroyed, almost every bridge and
trestle has been burned, a large portion of tho
track has been destroyed, and the companay
has but one engine and one train of cars left
in running order. At Grenada the raiders
caught and burned two trains and three loco
motives, and a largo portion of the town, not
withstanding the fact that they only number
ed about one hundred and fifty men, whilst
we had at least five hundred soldiers and citi
zens in the place capable of bearing arms, all
of whom skedaddled across the river on the
approach of the enemy. They carried off every
able-bodied negro and every horse and mule
they could find along the whole line of their
march, and burned all gin houses and cotton
and killed all the hogs and cattle they could
find.
Chan ono his Bass. —The Richmond Exam
iner oi the 4th says : We learn that J. M. Wil*
lis, a large merchant and broker in Augusta,
Ga., has absconded to the Yankees, taking
along with him a large amount of gold, silver
and negotiable paper, and it is also supposed
the assets of a Georgia bank, placed in bis
vault for safe keeping. Some of the notes of
the absconding merchant have been protested
by the brokers of Richmond and paid by hi?
partner, now in the city, and who received on
Monday the first intimation of his absence.
Condemned to bb Shot.—At a Court Mar
tial recently held on Sullivan’s Island five
men were found guilty of desertion, and con
demned to be shot with musketry. Among
them are three brothers, the only remaining
male members of a respectable family.
From Savannah.
, The Charleston Mercury states that about two
hundred and fifty refugees, men, women and chil
dren, have arrived in that city from Savannah.—
They nearly all concur in the statement that the
general treatment *f the inhabitants of Savannah
by the Yankees has been mild. They say that
Sherman has with Foster’s reinforcements, 80,000
men, and that he began his movement against
Branehvilie and Aagusta on Wednesday, .Janua
ry, 1L
Th# refugees say that the privates speak of
wreaking their vengeance on South Carolina ;
but the officers say their actions will depend upon
the amount of opposition they may encounter.—
They declare that if ’hey should hare hard fight
ing to do and are succussiui, they will net attempt
to restrain their men.
A gentleman has ,farored as with a Savannah
Republican, of January 10. From it we gather
the annexed news:
Gen. Geary has issued General Order Ne. 3, of
which the fallowing is the substance : All dealers
its gv U must have permits from G-n. Geary’s
headquarters. Extortioners will be get rely pun

Siege of Charleston.
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTV-THIUD DAT.
The flag of truce communication in the har
bor for the reception of the Savannah refu
gees took place Thursday. The Steamer
“Chesterfield,” Captain Little, with Lieuten
ant Colonel Pickett, and Captain W. H. Ross,
.Officers of the Day, to conduct negotiations on
the part of General Hardee, and a number of
other officers and civilians, proceeded down
the harbor outside of Fort Sumter, when she
was suddenly brought to by two shots from
Battery Wagner.
A small boat from each vessel was lowered
and met, when it appeared that the Yankee
steamer had been previously brought to an
anchorage by our Sullivan’s Island batteries.
An arrangement was then made by which
each party was to notify their respective shore
batteries of the cessation of all firing during
the truce communication. This affair caused
a delay of about an hour, after which the
“Chesterfield” steamed along side the Yankee
steamer “J. R. Spaulding.”
The approach of the “Chesterfield” was
greeted by a rush of the lady refugees to the
side of the “Spaulding,” waving their hand
kerchiefs with every exhibition of delight at
the prospect of so soon being restored to their
own people and Southern homes As the
“Chesterfield” ranged alongside, the meeting
of friends and acquaintances, the many happy
recognitions and pleasing countenances, pre
sented an intensely interesting scene.
In conversation with many of the refugee.! they
report that Sherman has four corps of twenty
thousand men eaeh, and that the last order for
rations called for 84,000. On Tuesday evening or
Wednesday morning large detachments left Sa
vannah. A great portion was commonly reported
proceeding up or near the Savannah river for Au
gusta cad Columbia, S. C., by Branchville, or
through Edgefield, Another expedition, in force,
they report moving against Charleston, or to meet
attacks expected from otfrside.
The refugees state that the treatment of the cit
iaons was respectful. Sentinels were posted with
orders to shoot down without taking him to the
guard house, any soldier found molesting citizens,
or forcing an entrance into any house. Many fam
ilies, formerly in good circumstances, wore obliged
to take in sewing and work hard to procure the
necessaries of life.
The Chesterfield reached the city about five
o’clock. A large crowd of citizens had assem
bled to meet tho refugees. Mayor Macbeth,
Alderman Riggs, and W. H. Smith, Clerk of
Council, acted on behalf of the city author
ities in providing accommodations. * A large
number were distributed round among our
citizens.

Let us b« blue. Why not? Blue is a beautiful
color. It is the color of the sky and of the sea; it is
the color ofthe loveliest eyes; also it is the color of
indigo, and of a species of fly. Moreover.it is the
color of the ventral sup rficies of the unadultera
ted Yankee, and occasionally of the breeches of the
Confederate soldier. Let us therefore be blue.
BeUer be flue than white or green or yellow or
ring-streaked, spotted and spojkied. Moreover,
maa is the only animal that can be bine at pleasure.
Ancient dogs and venerable beasts generally are in
dined to be blue; their latter days are tempered to
the hue of melancholy and toned down to the tints
of grief. But it is reserved to the lord of creation
to become cerulean with or without cause. We
will, then, be very blue.
The beauty of being blue is that everything in na
ture appears to bebla 'k. Not only is every object
black, but its proportions are enormously magni
fied. Thus, a: this time, thecauseseems to be black,
intensely biack. chances against us are big be
yond expression. Nor is this all. Our rul-rs, our
officers, our soldiers, our people, and even our ne
groes look black. Some are black and some are
blacker, some are the color of a chaw tobacco, funk
ed and heavily lfjuoriced tobacco; and even the
fairest are foul leatured. Reagan is black as iak.
Benjamin is like soot Seddon is a lump or char
coal. Davis is as dark as the de’il. Northrop is as
the night in Egypt. Hood is of a horrible hue, and
even General Lee is ebon, in spite of his silver locks
and snowy beard. The Confederacy is like unto a
box of Challenge blacking; the world i- wrong-ride
out, and the worse for wear. Creation is cut out of
b*ack bombazine, and the universe is a? black as the
back of a kitchen in Erebus.,
it is plea -ant to view tniogs in this light, for the
light is a mellow light and toes not pair tile eye.—
Robed in profound gloom, all things conspire to
qu e the retina, slacken the pulse, compose the
nerves, subdue agitation, suspend excitement ar
rest energy, destroy hope, eradicate cheerfuluass

Sherman's Plans.
Many oi the most intelligent refugees from
Savannah bad suffered several opporiunitis-,
rtf hearing Yankee officers boast vaguely and
with apparent reserve, but with defiant confi
dence of their plans, purposes and expecta
tions. They were gloating in anticipation
over the store? an I -poiis they expected to
reap iu Charleston, aud were especially confi
dent u& to the much coveted article of cotton,
which they assert is store i iu Charleston in
quantity awaiting them. Many of them ex
altingly, and some with apparent reluctance
and regu , speak also in advance of the sig
nal, bitter and exemplary vengeance which is
threatened against Charleston, without respect
or regard to age or sex. They seem and ex
press themselves defiantly confident and as
sured of success without even any serious op
position or check. They boast openly of in
tercourse by correspondence and information
received from the “rebel” lines, although, of
course, they will not expose or publish these
traitors as long as'they cm profitably use
them.
They seem only less determined and anx
ious to secure and destroy Columbia and Au
gust a, and destroy the railroads, than to sack
or occupy Charleston. They profess full con
fidence in their abilities to do all that is at
tempted.
It was supposed from a!! the indications
nad signs that transpired, -.h it. two Urge de
tach meute or corps would move up and along
the Savannah river—one on either side, with
a water accompaniment and appliances for
crossing the river it either corps was needed
for aid to the other. Whim threatening Au
gusta with these corps, one of them or a de
tachment, could perhaps be directed on the
South Carolina side before reaching Augusta,
towards Jlranchville or any point deemed
most suitable for attempting to cut the rail
roads. They do not expect much difficulties
in provisions,, even if delayed oa any one of
their lines beyond calculation, as they believe
and assert from the experience iu Georgia
that prorisious enough will be left in their
way.
Such, iu substance, is the tenor and purport
of information that, has lately reached us. It
can do no harm to publish it, and if attended
to promptly will do good. From Sherman’s
occupation of Atlanta to his entry in Savan
nah a great, cardinal and mischievous error
was in underrating his resources in men and
his powers and plans as a General. It is wiser
and better to overrate a foe and be prepared
for the utmost possible ordeal—and to make
adequate provisions to secure the removal or
destruction of any moveable objects that
would enhance the value and uses of occupa
tion by the foe at any place or port in case of
* necessary withdrawal or a defeat of our
forces—a result which need only be appre
hended under heavy odds. Citizens living or
having stores and supplies on or near any
line of march that will probably be attempted
have full warning in the experience of Geor
gians.
Nothing is gained or s-( veil even as a matter
of money and paltry profit by leaving provis
ions, horses, Ac., for the foe. We hope »nd
trust many will not decide their conduct by
considerations of mere money ui3k, but as
there are such even among Southerner:} and
ardent supporters in profession of the South
and of secession, we repeat that nothing has
been gained by traitorous or cowardly or im
becile and panic-stricken dodging of duty and
abandonment of servants and provisions.
Whether this or that city shall be occupied
for a while or not by Y'ankee provost and offi
cers and guards, must be decided under God
by numbers and by qualities of officers and
soldiers. Whether a people determined to be
free, and united in that determination, in full
reliance on God and that faith in his Word
which shows itself in works, can or shall suc
ceed, is notan open question. No people un
der such conditions can be cr have been con
quered.
Bravery, firmness, constancy, endurance,
self-denial and perseverance in military and
civil and industrial and economical efforts and
resources, must and will succeed.
Unless all history is a lie, and wo are all
bastards in the South, no States can be coerc
ed by force into accepting as (he Union, foun
ded especially on consent and opinion and the
free choice of citizens and States, the odions
frame and crust and sham and shell and pre
tensive Union, to which we are invited by an
insolent foe, overriding our boil, with merce
naries and adventurers and renegades.

To 111? Teachers and People of tie Confe
derate States,
At the lute Confederate States Educational
Association which met in Charlotte, N. 0 , the
undersigned commitfee were appointed to pie
pare am! publish an address to the teachers,
the educated ladies and the people generally,
of the Confederacy, on the subject of Eduea
ionand Southern Liter* ire.
TO THU f£ UHKKS.
Teachers of the South : You occupy a high
and most important position in the nation.—
Aa the educators of the rising generation—as
those who are to shape the plastic minds of
our youth—you hold in your hands the desti
nies of our Government. The soldiers, the
statesmen, the ministers, the educators—in a
word, all those who are to fill the learned
professions and the useful occupations, are
in your charge. In the tender minds which
you are to shape, lie the dormant elements of
that silent yet powerful influence which is the
main-spring of human society and the hope
of the world. The stability, the prosperity,
the moral tone and glory of our infant nation,
ail depend upon the manner in which yon dis
charge your duties. Your responsibilities arc
uuutterably great.
Congress, in their wisdom, have, so far,
deemed your services ia the school room of
greater importance than in the army. You
are not personally favored in their legislation
by being left at home. It is because they feel
that you can better serve your country as ed*
ucators than a? soldiers. How important,
then, that every tsacher of 'hevSouth regard
himself, and be regarded i y others, as a pub
lic benefactor and patriot! lljw unworthy i.
every one who h;n become a teacher from no
higher motive than to keep out of the army!
Aa the educators of a peculiar people, prid
ing peculiar views and institutions, it is ol the
higbeM impc! r tqncf» that *ll our te plscc
themselves on the broad platform of princi
ples which underlie our Government—that
their efforts an i labors harmonize and blend
into one grand system, and lead to one grea r
end. Freedom and religion arc the fundi
mental principles of our nationality. On this
solid pint orm should all oar touche i ' •
instil these principles into the otn-i* -u>-
young who sit at their feet.
It is no? only th" office of our teach*-;* -o
mrid the intellectual nod in >ral state of tin*
young, but our national literature, also, is to
com* mostly from tb. r pen. And the litera
ture of a nation w>.- ids net only a powerful
influence on tbe national mind, but it is really
t‘<# etoonent r>t t ; ie intellectual and nigral
cmdiiion, and the moat imperishable g»ory »A
the fia ibrt
a nation as ours needs and mnC have
a literature of its own. Then, tv»uihi n. K ia
cators, as y oil t«alize your is pfin ilmuieH, da
you app-rciHie ti - work which livs b* !<>r»* you?
It ii !<• your office to s'u'Jj e the mind and lite
rature ol our infant nation. Low important it
is that yon af once begin tb<* task in earnest.
Iu regard to the literature of cur country, it
is in your power to dec<de wtieiher it shall bs
the jjoisonuiis productions of our
undeT ihe insidious garb of “Soathrrn Kdi
tiorc” or the productions of Hoathern minds,
adapted io Southern ins itutions. The repub
lication of foreign books generally, will bat
corrupt the minds of our people, underrates
the foundations of our nationality, and pre
sent ns to the world at* an ignoble and despi
cable people. Frown, therefore, upon thoss
who are republishing aud circulating in the
South this dangerous literature, and encour
age those who are publishing Houihcrn books
by Southern authors.
TO TKS S DUCAT BO LADIB9 G* TUB SOUTH.
Ladies: The lact has already been mention
ed that the sileut, yet powerful, influence of
pious, intelligent woman is the mainspring of
society and the hope of the world. When ws
appeal to the ladies of the Houth, wo appeal
to ihose who are able and know how to wield
this influence. Your influence in the cause
of Southern independence has been felt and
acknowledged by the world. We npprai to
you to unite ail the elements of your mighty
influence iu the cause of Southern education
Let all the rays of that influence blend to dis
perse the dark night of ignorance. Your ser
vices are not claimed in the field, out your
country needs your influence in tbe school
room Your patriotism will not allow you to
turn' heedlessly away front tho cries of the
young and rising generation The educated
ladies must take places ia tnc schools of the
land. Will not every edu ■;»* J young rtdy of
the South come forward, at once, and enlist
as a teacher, and lend her influence in th«
cause of education?
TO THK PKOPLK.
People of the South : You have cheerfully
made many noble sacrifices for the cause of
Southern independence. You have ireely gi
ven of your property and yonr blood. Hav*
iug paid so dearly for our freedom, whioh we
think, in the providence of God, is sure, cr.»
you fail to watch the future wants of our ca
tion? To gain our independence as ft tifttjoa
will be nn inestimable blessing, but to neglect
the mental and morel training of the cfcildrea
of the South will be to detrtroy our iudeptud
cnee, and lose the dear, bloodbought treasure.
“Knowledge is power.”- It is better Shan
riehep or honor. It is the principal thing.—
We, therefore, beg your influence and c.o ope
ration iu the cause of Southern education.—
But it may be ashed, “ What enn we do in thix
work ? You can call into (he school room tbe
teachers who are to train the young. Yuueaa
encourage and support them in their arduous
work. Our schools would all seou be filled
with able and competent teachete, if they were
called out, and pr< perly encouraged and re
munerated by our people. Then, dear peopl*
ol the South, raise your voices at once and
call lor the educated ladies of our land to teach
yonr children, and open yonr heart® and par
ses to their support

We have additional reports on Yankee au -
thority, of recognition, by England, by the 4th
of March next, and that Lord Jotui Russell had
whispered to Mr. Mason “there was no longer
any just cause for not recognizing the Confed
erate government.” The circulation of such
reports at the North may induce the people
there to fill up the Federal armies, with the
hope they can overrun the South before the
slow moving governments of Europe can act,
and for this object they have been probably
put afloat; but we hope they naay not serve ta
make o ir own people relax their efforts to in
crease the strength and efficiency of the South
ern armies, and provide for their comfort. W«
are satisfied that upon these alone can we reljr
with safety. We cannot afford to be humbug
