mg all day the honied sweets, or wearies

r est upon the lily's brimming cup.
le nnckbird, swinging ’mid moonlight
Dews and leafy boughs grows weary of his dance
And sweetest songs and stient steals to rest.
The cattle upon the thousands hills,
And the slow plodding team ,all weary grow
In walk and work. The babe sporting with toys
Or crowing joyous in its nurse’s arms,
Play wearies, and sinks to rest, with folded
Drooping lids. But can it be that manhood
Wearies in its prime—and wearies, too, amid
Social bliss and civic honors and warrior’s
Fame, and children’s love and wealth and friend
ships
Firm and many? Can these satisfy
Not? Is weariness and heavy laden writ
On every sottl of erring woman horn?
From every kindred, tribe and nation.
In every clime, in every age comes up
The cry forever more -• Oh where shall rest
Be found. Rest lor the weary soul?” Canst sound
The ocean depths, or starch from pole to pole:
The pleasure bowers of earth, ttie dept! s
Of woman’s love, philosophies profound.
The mines ofgold, the gem lit caves every,
Hill and dale, and hidden work and find it not.
‘ Is there rest for the weary?”
Take thy excelsior wings and pierce the ether
Blue, nor cloud nor star can give it thee!
The Highest the m#st High He can alone
Declare it. lie all day long doth offer
With outstretched hands, the gift to dull
Unheeding ears of every son of Adam—
‘‘Come unto me, ye weary heavy laden
And I w ill give you rest, priceless and free;
With me and me alone this, found!”
Our friend, departing from the shores of Time,
In mid-river from his winged boat
Shouts back to sorrowing friends expectant,
“There’s is rest for the wearyd -oubt no more—
For soon the angel Death is coming,
Coming weary souls for thee!”

YY r hetlier the subjoined document was

it would be improper now to state. Think

vision of The Union array, in contempla
tion of a further advance into the interior
of the rebel States, directs that the persons
hereinafter designated residing within the
limits of the rebel States, be treated by
the officers and men under his command
not only as friends but with marked res
pect and kindness; viz:
1st. All persons, whether speculators
or producers, who ask for their bacon three
times as much as the pork cost them.
2d. All persons who have within the
last ten months sold salt which cost them
only two or three dollars per sack, for the
price of ten to iitteen dollars per sack.
3. All officers, stockholders and agents
of Cotton Mills who have been selling their
yarns and cloths for three times the cost of
production
4. All planters who having a large sur
plus of grain and provisions 011 baud refuse
to sell at any price, or who sell at three
times the cost of production,
5. All persons who thi^ year plant a full
crop of cotton or tobacco.
G. All persons who may be found sell
ing any of the necessaries or life for exor
bitant profits.
7. All persons who may be found de
crying the Treasury notes, or bonds of the
Confederate Government, for the purposes
of buying up the same at a heavy dis
count.
The Commanding General being well
satisfied from his knowledge of human
nature that all of the before described
characters are enemies to the rebel cause,
and his judgment being that every two
thousand dollars thus employed in said
avocations is worth as much to the Union
cause as one efficient regiment, he will
insist upon a strict and intelligent obser
vance of this order. Let the order be so
executed that in case we have to retreat,
said friends may not incur the wrath of the
tamest rebels.
By order of the Commanding General.

The
Future \ inn I Operations.
Charleston Mercury says:—The
sinking of a splendid frigate in fifteen min
utes settles one point: henceforth, wooden
war ships are obsolete, and iron will rule
the sea. The Y ankees have at once gras
ped this great lesson, and will act upon it
with all the energy which their longing
desire to gain the mastery of our harbors
can inspire. Probably, before these words
meet the eyes of our readers, the timbers
for a score of Merrimacs are being hewn
in Northern Navy Yards, and a thousand
anvils are shaping iron plates which the
shot and shell of our batteries can never
penetrate.—Iron-clad vessels cannot be
be built in a day or a week; but it would
be madness to disguise the fact that our
enemies will have afioat a large number of
such vesssels in as short a time as the na
ture of their construction will allow.
Unless wemea.i to give up our seacoast
to the invader, we must be ready to meet
iron wikh iron. YVe must build Merrimacs
for every Southern harbor, and build them
at once. YVe have everything that is re
quired for the work. YVe have the live
oak, the tar, pitch and turpentine, the cop
per, the iron and the men who from these
materials can build the boats. If we find
it difficult to obtain the iron plating in snffi
cient quantities, we should send to Europe
without a moment’s delay for the plates
ready-made. YY T e are telling nothing new
to the enemy, when we say that the block
ade is a farce. YVitli proper energy we
might have all the plating we require de
livered in the Confederate States within
seventy days; and before it arrives, the
new steamers might be ready to receive it.
YVe can only blame ourselves if, months
hence when the Yankees bring against us
their mailed fleets, they find us still unpre
pared.—Sac. Republican.J
Our Loss at Donelson.—The Huntsville
(Ala.) Advocate of the 12th inst. says:
One of our surgeons at Fort Donelson,
who made his escape with others two
weeks after the battle, states that the
Surgeons had made their reports there,
and that the Confederate loss was 140
killed and 426 wounded-total 565. This;
we presume, iH exclusive of our wounded
sent to Nashville before the surrender.
Tbe Federal loss was ascertained by them
to have been four thousand in killed and
wounded.
Plad Corn and be Free, or Plant Cotton and
be Whipped.
This is the naked state of the question.
how much cotton shall we plant ?” It
there has been any doubt upon the subject,
the events of the past few weeks have
completely dispelled them, and we have
now the fact, “pure and simple.” All
the valor of Southern soldiers will be pow
erless against grim hunger and gaunt fam
ine, such as will overwhelm and crush us.
if we insanely raise 'cotton instead of corn.
In years past, r.o little sport has been made
of the North's argument, that their Hay
and Potatoe crop was equal in value to our
cotton crop ; the derisive reply has been,
“you are obliged to eat those crops, while
cotton commands cash.”
Just so long as we had a market for cot
ton, we had an infinite advantage, for we
could buy all of bread and meat that we
fell short of raising; and after this we had
a surplus of cotton, which returned to us
in money, for cotton was king and com
manded the money; but now the tables are
turned—we have plenty, yes, four millions
of bales of cotton, and we can neither eat
nor sell it. Happy we, if we could do
either, for we need both bread and arms.
We would willingly exchange cotton for
corn to-day to a large amount, yet then
there is still some discussion of tbe ques
tion “how much cotton shall we plant,”
and this too, in the full view of the ap
palling fact, that if the plantations around
us were called on to supply meat, at any
price, for the soldiers,’who are leaving us
this week, to fight our lattles, they could
not—as Judge Crawford eloquently told
us the other day—furnish one hundred
pounds per. man. Now add to this fact
another equally appalling, viz : that we
we completely cut off from the States, on
which we have always depended for
bread and meat, and is it not enough to
make us question the sanity of the man
wli asks, how much cotton we shall
plant ?
Is cotton King ? YY'e believe lie is, but
like other Kings, he must be fed. The
production of Tennessee and Kentucky
in I860 was iu round numbers 111,000,000
bushels corn, 4,000,000 bushels of wheat,
and 813,00(^000 worth of slaughtered ani
mals. Every one knows that the chief
market for these products was found in the
Gulf States—and wc could not have lived
without them, unless we had abstained
from raising cotton. Now how much does
any planter expect to get of bread and
meat from these States, out of the coming
crop ? and yet we have much discussion
how much cotton shall we plant! Add
one other fact: In less than sixty days we
shall have not less than 500,000 men in
arms “for the war.” This vast body of
men will be not only non-producers, but
consumers, thus making a fearful difference
•‘for the war” in the feeding material of
the Coufederacy! and yet men say, how
much cotton shall we plant 1 Can such
things be. and not excite our wonder?—
Has judgment fled the minds of men ? and
must we shut our eyes against a painful
truth, and ignore the possibility of a nation
starved into submission, while we discuss
how much cotton we shall plant ? The
cordon of armies that would starve us, is
now around us. Federal fleets threaten
us in every seaport and mile of coast in the
Confederacy, while numerous columns
well armed with McClellan’s artillery, line
our Northern border, from Harper’s Ferry
down to the Kanawha country, on to the
Gap, and sweeping down to Nashville,
swing up in a vast chain to the mouth of
the Missouri, and on beyond to the Indian
country. But no man doubts the issue,
there is but one ground of apprehension
throughout our army, and it is the fear
that the cotton States should fail to come
up to their solumn and unavoidable duty.
For it is their duty to feed the armies who
shall achieve our independence. This cor
don of Federal armies makes this plain
YY 7 hatever we may achieve of successes,
on the borders, or in the border States,
who supposes that a crop of grain can be
raised this season, in either Alissouri, Ten
nessee or Y irginia ? Tbe advancing and
receding tides of Federal and Confederate
forces, leave desolation in their tracts ,
and hear it—hear it—ye cotton planters
of the sunny South, who formerly were
fed from Tennessee, must now feed your
selves and Teunesse, and Y'irginia besides!
Fail to do this, and history’s page will re
cord that the Federal boast of starving this
people into submission, was accomplished
by your own suicidal policy. YVitli this
danger staring us in the face, shall we
continue to inquire “how much cotton shall
we plant.”
That this contingency stirs the heart of
the Confederacy, no one can doubt, who
is at all awake to what is transpiring
around him; but if men were fully alive to
our dangers, certainly there would be an
end of all discussion, and a universal de
termination to plant—not one acre of cot
ton this year; and yet a recent meeting of
planters in Houston county, unanimously
resolved “to plant but four acres to the
hand.” YVYiy, this would, at the lowest
figure, give us a crop of between one and
two millions of bales; if acred upon
throughout the cotton States! Put such
resolves by the ‘side of others which de
dare, that every one shall “plant more
corn and less cotton than usual, so that
each one will be able to raise his own
meat!!” and whole will it leave us?
where : Let the bitter wail of an enslaved
posterity answer. There must be a revo
lution of opinion and action or we shall
perish.
Happily there is no clashing in these
questions rightly considered ; between pa
triotism and interest. The planting com
munity has been accustomed for a gen
eration, to look at cotton, as the only prof
itable crop, and all others, as mere con
tingents.
He who could make a heavy cotton
crop considered all else safe; for cotton
would buy every thing else. Ordinarily
this was true, for the section, which of all
others, was adapted to cotton, could most
profitabty raise that staple and buy all
necessaries out of their surplus.
But revolutions, such as this now in pro
gress in our country, affect all interests,
and upset all routine policy, and he is
wisest who takes broadest view and
s tapes action accordingly. Passing now
the claims of patriotism, it is plain that
the planter’s prosperity depends upon his
planting no cotton this year, and substi
tuting grain crops. The present position
of the planting interest is without a paral
lel. Four millions of bales of cotton now
on hand ; in the country ! and the time at
hand to plant another crop! and with this
is coupled a scarcity of bacou and grain,
and the usual countries of supply not only
cat off, but likely to prove dependent for
food apon us ; whom they formerly helped
to feed! Who ever witnessed the like
before! To raise another bale of cotton
this yeartoadd to the supply now in hand
How often since last September, we
have heard the prediction that the “block
ade would he raised in sixty days;” Eu
rope would have cotton,” &c. &c. The
latest news from Liverpool shows us a
stock of 175,000 bales American cotton on
hand there, besides a much heavier stock
of East India and other cottons, and with
this, we have also the fact, that the pres
ent East India crop is more than double
that of last year; with a still further pro
spective increase. YVhy should wc sun
pose England to be influenced by the
Quixotic motive of mere, smypathy for a
people figthing to he free- Let us not de
ceive ourselves. England in this, as in all
else, has an eye solely to England’s inter
ests. She is suffering somewhat for lack
of cotton, but she is her own judge of the
profit and loss, of suffering and feeding
hungry operatives; while she avoids the
expense of a war with the United States;
and confiscation of Federal stocks in En
glish hands-
Meantime, knowing that she may be
pressed into breaking the blockade, she
watches with keen expectancy, to see the
planters put in another crop, thereby war
ranting her in the calculation of getting
the needed supply cheap enough, to
amply reimburse her every outlay and ex
pense, while she is getting rid of all her
goodsmanufactored from high priced cot
ton. At the same time, these high prices
have stimulated the production of cotton
in her East India possessions; rendering
her less dependant upon America for the
staple.
YVitli what exultation will the English
manufacturer learn of a half, or even a
quarter crop of cotton; put in by the
Southern planter. The prospect ahead
will amply pay for present stringency and
distress. An essential element in the
calculation will be that the addition of
what may he raised this year, will be a
sufficient make-weight upon the market, to
keep prices depressed for years.; as con
sumption will not quite keeMiace with pro
duction, and the stocklpill therefore grad
ually, but surely increase. Suppose the
planter has now under shed y>0 bales, for
which he might expect ten cents after the
ports are opened if it is known that no
cro)) is planted. this spting; but if the
ports are opened and the present crop
shipped under expectation of a growing
crop of even one-fourth of the usual quan
tity, it would be in keeping with past ex
perience to see tbe planters 100 bales of
old and 25 bales of new cotton put on tbe
market and sold at 5 cents, lie would
thus receive 85,000 for 100 bales in the
first case, and 83,125 for 125 bales in the
other. But if in the uncertain future the
corn crop should fail as in I860, where
would be the planters and the country.
It is plain that time, land and labor, given
to cotton this year, cannot but result in
heavy loss ; even leaving out of the count
such contingencies as a fresh burst of
war over Europe, which would marteri-
ally reduce the demand there for our cot
ton.
Let us suppose Memphis and the forti
fications above it to fall, leaving New Or
leans a beleaguered city, and perhaps to
be captured. This would give the enemy
free gunboat range up the tributaries of
the lower Mississippi; cutting us off from
Texas ; the great wool-producing, cattle-
growing portion of the Confederacy. Add
to this an unfavorable grain season, and a
limited crop of it planted, while we had,
in the language of the Houston County
resolutions, only “four acres to the hand”
of cotton growing, nothing to cat for our
half million army, and tLe country full
everywhere of cotton,
YY’hat a prospect! YVhat could keep
the country from falling into the depths of
subjugation and despair 1 Should the
blockade and war continue, of what value
will Cotton be ? All sales will cease. YVe
can neither pay taxes with it, nor barter it
for corn or for meat, while, under any cir
cumstances, corn will be the most piofita-
ble crop. Interest, as well as patriotism,
safety and independence, should ^ilence
discussion of “How much cotton should we
plant ?”
Let each planter determine to plant
none, but put every acre in corn. Some
say, “If I plant all corn, my neighbor will
take advantage of it, and plant more cot
ton. Should your neighbor seek thus to
deceive, Jet it add to your determination,
for if he does so, your corn will be only the
more valuable, while his cotton will be
proportionally less. To those who say,
“YVe live too remote from market to make
corn profitable,” I would reply, the de
mand for it will extend to the uttermost
parts of the Confederacy ; and in every
part, the largest profits will inure to the
raising of cattle, hogs and sheep, for driving
to markets, however remote. Let no
planter measure his conduct by what his
neighbor may or may not do ; but let all,
rather, come squarely up to the solemn
fact that upon the decision they make
may hinge the independence of these fair
fields of our loved South, the peace, puri
ty and happiness of our households, and
all the hopes of our children who shall
come after us. GEOIIGIA.

A gentleman of this city has just receiv
ed a letter through the blockade, from his
Liverpool correspondent, who resided in
the South over twenty years. YVe are
permitted to make the following extracts
from the letter, which is dated January
31, 1S62.
“To my great satisfaction I received
yesterday, your letters of December 20th;
all previous letters after November 28th
have failed to reach me. No letters by
the Tampico route, have come to hand
and the talk upon Change is, that that
route is a failure. Don’t make any advan
ces, on cotton, P will be along time before
it can be shipped; and our cotton dealers
and manufacturers look for very low prices
when the blockade is removed. They
say that the large supply from India and
other places brought to market by our
present high prices, together with your crop
now on hand, added to the crop your planters
will soon put in the ground, even, if only part
of a crop, will swell the quantity to be
thrown on our markets, and produce very
low prices. Our people, almost, univer
sally sympathize with your Confederacy.
YVe all believe that you cannot be conquer
ed if you are united and determined.
Our government no doubt entertains the
same view, hut appears resolved to act
the part of neutrals, and thus leave you to
fight it out. Mason and Slidell arrived

An Author.
A young scape-grace, who had spent a
fortune and fallen into bad habits, took up
his residence in a country village, pretend
ing to be an author. His shabby appear
ance was therefore accounted for, and as
marks of persons beauty remained, many a
romantic village maiden sighed over the
‘cruel fate of genius.’ Sighs would not pay
his landlord’s bill, aud when a month had
expired he was dunned in good earn
est. At length the landlord told him he
never saw any of his productions, and
wished to know what work he was the
author of. Being thus pushed, he repli
ed. “YVhy, sir, I call myself an author,
aud I am—the author of my own misfor
