*J"ii the last battles around Richmond. Nooffi

wtllbe Mrlonsly felt in the army and by the people at
home. A gallant soldier, efficient officer and per
feet gentleman, his- memory will erer lire in the
hearts 'of a grateful people, and his name rank
with those of the South’s most illustrious martyrs.
Worth? of Emulation.
Ought not our peopls, who Hate suffered com
paratlfely Utile of war’s hardships, to blush at
the record of noble deeds done by the down
trodden people of Virginia, when contrasted with
the selfish, cowardly croaking of many in onr
midst? The more Virginia is oppressed the morn
revolted are her citizens to continue the struggle.
With ua it is those who have suffered least, aho
complain most and urge submission. Let these
learn a lesson of patriotic devotion from the fol
lowing:
The WytheviUe Dispatch says that animpromp
tu meeting of the citizens of W ythe was held at
WytheviUe on Monday, the 13th instant, for the
purpose of seeing what could be done in the way
of bread and meat contributions for General Lee’s
army. The meeting bad not been advertised,
and very many who would have given were not
present.- 5
Speeches were made by Brig. Gen. Jno. Echols
and Major Horace Lacy. Gen. Echols, who some
time tiooe purchased for the use of his own fam
ily one thousand pounds of pork and one hundred
bushels of corn, donated one half of each to feed
the war worn veterans of Gen, Lee’s army. A
cable example and worthy of Imitation ! There
were contributed on this occasion forty-six hun
dred pounds of bacon, three hundred and twenty -
five bushels of core, one thousand pounds of beef
twenty-five bushels of wheat, and six barrels of
flour.
The Dispatch adds: “We feel warranted in
saying that this is but a commencement for old
Wythe. Her people prefer short rations to sub
jugation, and are willing to endure many hard*
slups for the sake of those who have gone forth
in her defense. Let every man in every county
of the Southwest come to the rescue, and the
army will be fed. They must be fed, or we, as a
people, will go down behind the cloud of subju
gallon, darkened by our own avarice! ”
The great agony^of keeping up our seacoast de
fences ia over. New Orleans—-abandoned from
the beginning—fell almost without a blow—the
heaviest, moat disgracelul loss of the war. It
severed ua from a most important eource of sup
plies. It rendered co-operation in the military
aflalrsttf two divisions almost impossible. It near
ly doubled our frontier, opening from Cairo to
Hew Orleans, through the very heart of our coun
try, a secure base for the heaviest as well as the
meet rapid concentration of forces at any point on
that line, and leaving ua exposed to a correspond
ing extent
Then followed Memphis, Vicksburg Port Hud
aon, ad a necessary sequenoe. At this time there
were some, with eyes bleared by selfishness and
hearts .quaking with pusillanimity, who were ready
to cry out, “All is lost!” “let us make terms I”
But the ones of the craven were stilled by the
•torn-hearted manhood of the country, and fiually
they ceased' to croak aloud. ,
Again: we lose Savannah, Charleston, Wilming
ton ; and once more for a short time is heard the
wailing of these poor weak things, who are again
ready tb “make terms.” Thanks to the malicious
Lincoln and the slimy|Seward, these submiissonists
were left without a crum of comfort from Abra
ham’s table.
Even the reconstructionists have, with great
unanimity, repudiated the husks that were so
generously offered by the North, and have return
ed to their duty and their country’s cause, with
the cry of “war to the knife.” The glorious spirit
now manifested thoughout the whole Confederacy
will bring forth rloh fruit in the coming campaign;
and the upstarts of the North, who, have fattened
and grown lusty on our generosity in the past,
would now play conquerors and tyrants, shall yet
learn the “might that slumbers in a freeman’s
arm.”
Let our people but spurn the temptations of
oase and luxury; let them but cultivate true man
hood and a Spartan defiance of hardships, and
lot them but hate the false and treacherous foe,
first swindled us, then deceived us,
then outraged us, and who, finaliy, would crush,
conquer and enslave us, and we shall be doubly
nerved for suffering, and for revenge.
Wo have already the glimmering of the dawn
of better success. From Shelby, in the West, and
from Johnston, on the South, we have tokens that
thejjtide of defeat that has so steadily set against
us baa reached its flood. Let us deserve success,
and with this campaign it may yet be ours.

Gen. Oavlor, congressman from Texas, sta es
the Gen. Kirby Smith has been instructed to id
opt, as Jiia judgement may deem best, to either
attack New Orleans, cross the Mississippi river to
this side, or move into Missouri. Toe Gene al
thinks the last suggestion will be adopted. Tbe
Mississippi cannot well be crossed. Gen. Ta for
tried this two months last year without success
If our array, which is generally thought to be 3 ),•
000 effective meu, can march into Missouri at. t le
right season of the year It will require a great ef
fort by the Fcderais to dislodge him. It will be
a oowerful diversion in favor of Gen. Lee. It is
supposed the movement is now being effected.—-
There are no dangers of Texas being Invaded.-
There are few streams there, at times there are
severe droughts, and subsistence often preeario is
—would especially be so to an invading army.—
The other States would be defended, because the
whole force of the Federate d
with Gen. Smith. * ww
All regret the fail of Richmond, but approve the
measure. Judge Chilton says it ought to have
been done long ago. The measure will add
strength to the areny. People here—those of the
right stamp, and they are a decided majority—arc
strongly hopeful.
Gen. Forrest reports the enemy still iu Selma.
Major Gen, Joe. Wilson is in command. Forrest
is watching them closely. Cavalry from here
have gone dowu to watch movements from thte
side.
Montevallo has hewn garrisoned by the enemy.
They have canted off all stock and negroes.
There are no Yankees near Talladega.
A flag of truce the other day was sent to Selma
to get away from that place, t wife of Brig.
Gen. Adams. Near Benton they met about twenty
four Confederate scouts in lull flight who report
ed a large hodv of Federate pursuing them. Far
ther on tbreff Yankee cavalrymen were met who
wera hugely enjoying the sport of running eight
times their number of rebels. This wa3 doubtless,
the party that produced such a scare at Benton
and in Montgomery. Going on the party were
met by Captain William* and Deilaven of General
Wilson’s staff. The flag was not allowed to visit
Selma, but was received on this ride. Wilson de
clined at present to send Mrs. Adams through the
lines, but assured the party that she would be
treated with utmost kindness, When he captured
Selma, he visited Mrs. Adam* and promised her
respect and protection. He treats the people
kindly. Being in haste to report the result of
their mission, the Confederates decline J* the din
ner which Wilson said he was preparing for them,
whereupon he ssnt ovtr lunch, cigars, &c., for
them.
Rev. Mr. Small, the Presbyterian minister, and
Mr. Williams of the Reporter, and three or four
other citizens of Selma are reported to have been
k’lied in the trenches.
In Selma half of the Goldsby block from Cun
ninghams drug store to Stephens book store were
burned, including the Episcopalian church. The
residence and stores belonging to P. J. Weaver
were also burned.
A report ia broisp’ t b~ negroes from Red Moun
tain that the Uni vc< it;- 'if Alabama Cadets were
captnred in Selma. A :::-gro says he flaw a son of
Mr. Gilmer of Montt- xtaery, who is a member o '
the corps, a prisoner iu the city. Ido not place
much credence in the report.

who had been fighting gallantly, was endeavoring

Gen. Buford is still here. He is a brave officer
and affable man. Capt. Crowder, his A. A, G., Is
one of the most pleasant gentleman I have over
met. He is an officer of fine ability.
Cotton is being pteced on the principal streets
leading from the city to make barricades with, in
order for defense against a cavalry force. The
authorities are active and energetic.
Few citizens to be seen on streets. Passports
are still demanded, and good must be the excuse
to get off.
The rumor is again revived that Mobile ia being
evacuated. Ido not know what truth there is iu
it.
I am informed Gen. Roddy is here looking for
hia brigade—a hard thing to find.
Rumor.
New York Uloney Market.
There was intense excitement at the opening of
busiuess this morning, both in the gold room and
on the Stock Exchange, according to tho indica
tions last evening. The panic was wilder than at
any previous stage of its progress, and the press
ure to sell among the gold speculators was almost
equalled at the stock board when Government se
curities were called. Five-twenties, which sold at
yesterday’s second board at 106£, declined to lOOi
a 101. .Ten-forties fell from 93 to 89£, and sixes
of 1881 from 107 to 103?}. Railway securities
were similarly pressed for sale, and the transac
tions were large.
Gold, after selling as low 153, reacted to 159£ ;
but the improvement was partially lost during
the afternoon, under heavy sales by the bears, the
downward tendency being assisted by the report
of the occeupation of Goldsboro’.
Already failures are numerous, in fact; but they
will not announce themselves unless under com
pulsion, aud as credits mature during the next
fortnight they will be likely to appear in rapid suo
cessiou, and how far the evil consequences of the
legal teuderact may extend is entirely uncertain.
Only one stock board failure was reported to-day in
the streets; but other failures were reported. la the
dry goods trade one house is announced, besides
which several other suspensions are rumored, aud
similar reports prevail with regard to firms in the pro
duce trade. From present appealauees a formidable
list of bankruptcies may be looked for, and a general
commercial panic unless a rise iu the gold premium
exercises a corresponding effect upou prices for stocks
and merchandise. Nearly all the speculators in gold
and stocks are “short,” and they are still using their
best efforts to renew panic aud precipitate the tall of
gold for their own aggrandizement. Such a horde of
Pariahs and Judas Iscariots as are now endeavoring to
fatten themselves upon military victories was never
before assembled in any country, not excepting France
during the great revolution. They speculate in the
fortunes ot thepountry just as they would gamble at
tho faro table! It is to be regretted that these cosmo
politan vultures are aided in their endeavors by men
who are professedly frieudiy +o the financial and com- j
raercial interests of the country, and who seli gold
down beyond the limits of reason for their personal
enrichment. That the same men will soon be foreing
gold upward in like manner, for thetr own profit, sug
gests an uuflattering reiiectiod.— Nino fork Herald

FALL or CHARLESTON.
The London Times says the inflhence of the
success at Charleston can hardly be exaggerated.
The moral effects cannot but be most powerful on
the conduct of the war. It Is seen that the pop
ulation of the Bout hern States is not able to op
pose the march of the Federal armies. The ad
vance from Savannah to Charleston seems to have
been as easy as the march from Atlanta to Savan
nah.
* The Star regards the fall of Charleston as pre
monitory of the utter overthrow of the rebel
lion.
. The Army and Navy Gazette says the evacua
tion of Ohai leston and Columbia, and the con
centration of garrisons, will strengthen the hands
of Beauregard, Hardee ana Hill; but the Con
federates are placed in a position of exceeding
danger, from which it will require greater genius
than ever Lee and Davis have as yet exhibited to
extricate them.
The purpose of Grant becomes more obvious as
the campaign proceeds. He holds Lee fast, and
thus paral) zes the strongest arm and neutralizes
the greatest force of the Confederacy.
The news was published too late on the 3d for
the Liverpool and Manchester markets. But the
first effect was one of depression, and cottoo de
clined,
The rebel ram Stonewall continues at Ferrol,
watched by Union vessels. The truth of the re
port that she was leaking is not confirmed, and
she continues to take on board a large quantity of
coal.
In the House of commons, on the Bd, Mr. Shaw
Leferve naked whether the attention of the Gov
ernment bad been directed to a certain minute of
instructions alleged to have been issued *by the
Confederate Government with reference to the
seizure and disposal of Confederate cruisers, of
neutral vessels, without adjudication by a prize
court; «hethtr such instructions met the appro
val of the Government ; if not, what metUnre
would be. taken to prevent their being carried
out.
Mr, Layard replied that the attention of the
Government had been given! to the instructions in
question, and they were entifely disapproved. It
would not, however, be consistent with the inter
ests of the public service to state what steps had
been taken regarding them.
The Liverpool Post, iu an editorial contending
against a probable war between England and
America, says : “In a note from a member of
the Government, received in Liverpool, on the
2d, occurs the following passage: “I hear the city
ia uneasy about America, We have, -however,
more pacific acd satisfactory declarations from
the United States Government than for a long
tirno past has been the case.”
The Post thinks the fiew minister goes out to
reciprocate the words of amity recently trans
mitted across the Atlantic.
The Eondgn Times says the fall of Charleston
ia a victory which will recompense the Unionists
for many labors, and encourage them to pursue,
with renewed vigor, the conquest of the South-
It believes that, Although the South is now virtu
ally shut out from the world, it will continue to
show unabated obstinacy in defense.
The Daily News contents itself by editorially de
tailing the operations of Geo. Sherman in a strain
of eulogy.
The Morning Post argues that Charleston was
evacuated as a strategic necessity, and says :
Gen. 3hermau’s movements have been character
ized by foresight and accurate calculations, which
place him in the foremost rank of the generate of
the present day.
J3T The people of North Carolina until recent
ly, with the exception of those residing in the
counties on the sea coast, and portions of our
fiSountain district, have been wonderfully pre
served from the horrors and hardships of the
war. Ail of course have felt it to a greater or
less extent; but few comparatively have been
forced into immediate contact with the Yankees
except on the battle field. Within the present
month our fate has been different. Wherever
.Sherman’s or any other Yankee force have cov-
Vrerl our soil, bbght and ruin have followed. The
verdict which the Yankees themselves have made
up, that “in North Carolina the Union sentiment
strongly prevails,” has had no effect to lessen the
outrages of the enemy, but has served to gratify
their propensity to abuse and outrage our people.
The reveDge and malice of the Yankee army is
only equalled by the same spirit which predomi
nates in the bosom of the Yankee President, the
Yankee Congress, the Yankee press, and the
Yankee people. Every wheve tho same spirit of
hatred to us prevails, which to all appearances
can only be appeased, by filling up the cup of
vengeance against us and making us drink it to
the dregs.
In all the State lying East, Southeast and South of
this city, the incursions of the enemy bid fair, unless
Providence shall speedily remove him by the hands of
Gen. Johnston and our brave soldiers, to destroy all
prospect of a crop for the present year. The severity
of the winter and the lateness of the spring, had pre
vented almost all preparation for a crop. Just at the
time when our planters were making arrangements for
pitching the crop, the appearance of the enemy and
the necessary advance of our armv, suspended all op
erations in that direction. The seizure of teams, corn,
meat and provisions of all kinds, has nearly stripped
the people bare in that region, of what thev had to re
ly upon to make another crop, and now the future is
only filled with dismal forbodings as to what can or
cannot be done. Many have been reduced to abject
want and the general scarcity of provisions, renders it
impossible to meet the necessary wants of the people.
Rad as the case is, we are glad to find the spirit of
the people Rallying from the despondency which
seemed ready to overwhelm them. Iu the raidat of
the severity of the losses which they have experienced,
many seemed ready to faint under the load, but a few
dava of repining were enough, and now their energies
are being aroused and their purpose to* resist to the
death, becomes the watchword. Let our people take
courage. The days of trial may not be over in a day.
Hardships still more severe may await us, but let us
prove ourselves true men and 'women capable of en
durance, bent upon resistance, and determined to per
ish in the struggle for honor and liberty. Ease, pro
perty or promotion are nothing compared to these,
without which life would be a burden and a cursfj.

Yankee War Bxpenm.
Mr. Long, in his speech in the Federal House
of Representative*, a portion of which we pub
lished some time since, has tbs following upon the
Yankee war expenses ;
But, Mr. Chairman, I turn from the contempla
tion of this most inhuman and barbarous demand
for extermination, to take a brief view of the finan
cial condition of the country.
One of the most interesting objects connected
with the war is onr national debt. There is noth
ing like it in all history ; nothing superior to it in
amount; nothing to be compared to it in the lie
which it gives to the loud boasting and vaunting,
which are constantly heard. We boast,'or rather
the war party boasts, of its disposition to give the
last dollar and the last man to the Juggernaut ol
blood that it worships. But what do they do ?
They hardly give the first dollar. Not one fifth of
the expenses of the war have been paid as it pro
gressed. The other four-fifths have been coolly
shoved off on posterity. Ye«, sir, I repeat: the
men who boastingly proclaim their willingness to
give the last dollar, now in the heat of the war
fever, have never proposed to pay more than one
dollar in fivo. If they, with feelings and passions
so strongly enlisted, only pay one fifth, how will
posterity cool and unim passioned posterity,
regard the four fifths? What will capitalists
tbiuk of the sincerity of their promise, fend of the
probability of the future redemption? Will they
invest, under the belief that the coming generation
will pay foru fifths to redeem such promise and
save the honor of their ancestors ? Recurring to
the manner in which it was contracted, and re
membering the facility with which their ancestors
enacted a bankrupt law at the time of its coutrac
tion, they may say that those who contracted the
debt reiused to pay their proper share of it, and
be tempted to repudiate the whole.
[Here the hammer leil. •
Mr. Stiles : I ask ibec the gentleman have the unan
imous consent of the House to conclude his speech.
N«> objection was made.
Mr. Long: England, m her tremendous vrar3 with
Napoleon and the greater part of continental Europe,
which for long years was arrayed on hia side, and
when her expenses went up to seven hundred millions
a year, paid one half of the war expenses as she went
aloDg. This was an evidence that they were not wil
ing to seek the temporary promts which the war gave
and then cast the burden on posterity. It was an
earnest of the last dollar from which our war patriots
have recoiled. It took Great Britain eighteen, hun
dred years to run up & debt less in amount and at a
rate of interest not one haif as great as that we have
incurred in three and a haif years. These eight hun
dred years reach from William the Conqueror to Vic
toria. They embrace all her wars of conquest and de
sense. In them are included the glories of the Ed
wards and the Henries, of E'iz tbeth, of Cromwell, of
Wiiltem, of Anne, and the Georges. They call to
mind the memories of Agincourt anu Creasy, of Blen
heim and Waterloo, of Marlborough and Wellington
They embrace the gigantic wars with France, when
she was four times, conquered, and when her towns
were held by garrisons. They include the re
pulse of the’Spanish Armada, the terrible civil ward
Cromwell, and the g : gantic expenses ot her conbat
with the T rench revolution, which alone lasted .oore
than a quarter of a century, and during which sac had
under her pay and subsidy the homes of Kusriaos,
Asatrians Prussians and Geim >ns that twice dethroned
Napoieon and twice marched to Paris. They include
her seven years’ war ot coercou upon America ftfr the
subjugation of.the seceded colonies; and they include
the acquisition of a territory id alt parts ol the globe
so immense that upon it the sun never sets Yes. ah
this cost less than our three aud a half year ’ ui sent
ble sectional war.
We have been taught to reg>trd the British p.i em
rnent as corrupt and expensive. It has hud iu: .lead
and in its councils, many of the most corrupt aoci di.>
honest men the world has ever known, and yet, with
all its corruption and profl gacy, England to-day has u
debt less in amount than the audited and unaudited
debt, including the contingent war claims, that has
already been incurred by this Administration in the
piosecution of the war. A few more facta in illustra
tion : The wealth of Greaf Britain ia thirty-two
thousand million dollars. Our debt is the largest, and
its interest is twice as great and yet Great Britain has
three times as much property to be assessed for taxa
tion as the United States, The armies of Europe to
day are four and a half million men, which is about
the number of male adults iu the United States, and
yet the cost of maintainiug these almost fabulous ar
maments is not half as great as that of the Uuited
States. Europe has the accumulated wealth of cen
turies, she has ber two hundred and fifty millions
people, and she maintains five or six times as many
soldiers in the field as we do, at half the expense—l
mean at halt the expense that we have promised to
pay, for not a dollar of it has yet bean paid. If Europe
is oppressed and ground to the earth with her war ex
pauses, what would be our condition under the actual
money system ? 1 do not suppose, Mr. Chairman,
that one half, probably not one third of this debt has
been incurred in the legitimate prosecution of the war.
The evidences of the debt are not in the pay of the
soldiers, who get less than their exposure entitles
them to receive, but are to be seen m the marble pal
aces, in the luxurious equipages that dazzlesoresplen
dently around the persons and the Government cor
tractors; there is where the money has gone which
we have promised to pay, and upon which promises
they have realized; you will find it accounted for in
part in the report and speeches of the honorable gen
tleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Dawes). Traces of
it may be seen in the affair of the Calaline, the Op-'
dyke trial, and in other disclosures of a similar char
acter. The substantial reason why great Britain paid
one-half of her war expenses as they were incurred,
while we pay little or nothing, is because the ciass of
persons to whom the debt in England was owing sal
in Parliament and voted the taxes; in our country, ou
the contrary, it is those who have to assist in paying
the debt that have the privilege of enacting the laws.
Beyond this, and therefore eoouected with the pay
meht of this huge incubus, lies the spectre of a des
potic Government, with its standing army, indispen
sable auxiliaries in the work.
