The gnllnnt drad-thr duty of Ifae living.
Orators and Poets have over praised the virtues
of those who die in defence of their Country. The
great Athenian Orator and General, Pericles, in
his famous funeral Oration spoke thns of those
who had fallen in battle. "Bestowing thus th-. ir
lives on the public, they have every one received
s praise that will never decay, a sepulchre that
will always be illustrious—not that in which their
hones lie mouldering, but that in winch their
frame is preserved, to be on every occasion, when
honoris the employ of either word or act, eternal
]v remembered. This whole earth is the sepul
chre of illustrious m-n : nor is it the inscription
on the columns in their native soil alonp that
show their merit, but the memorial of them, hettei
than all inscriptions, in every foreign nation, re-
posited more durablly in universal remembrance
than on their own tomb. From this very moment,
. emulating these noble patterns, placing yonr hap
piness in liberty, and liberty in valour, be ) re
pared to encounter all the dangers of war. For,
to be lavish of life is not so noble in those whom
misfortunes have reduced to misery and despair,
as in m»n who hazard the loss of a comfortable
subsistence, and the enjoyment of all the blessings
th:s world offers, by aa unsuccessful enterprise.
Adversity, after a series of ease and affluence,
links deeper into the heart of a man of spirit,
than the stroke of death insensibly received in the
rigor of life and public hope.”
On another celebrated occasion he used the fol
lowing strong and truthful language, which wiil
apply as well to ns as it did to the Athenians,
thousands of years ago. Speaking of the proba
ble loss of wealth which the people would experi
enee from the War, he said: “It is not so rea
sellable to grieve aud despond under such petty
losses, as to despise from the thought, that they
sre merely the trappings and embellishments ot
wealth ; to fix tho firm remembrance within us,
that liberty’, in defence of which we are ready to
ha/.erd our all, will easily give us those trifles
sgaixi: and that by tamely submitting to our en
emies the possession of all we have will be taken
from us The evils inflicted by heaven must he
borne with patient resignation ; and tho evils by
enemies with manly fortitude. The, man whose
resolution never sinks before it—but strives by a
brave opposition to repel calamity, such—wheth
er in a private or public capacity, must be ac
knowledged to be the worthiest man. Slavery is
never to be endured by a ;State that cnce hath
governed—such a siuation can be tolerable only
to that which hath ever been dependent.”
Take home to you these wise sayings of one of
the greatest and most beloved of the Athenian Or
ators, men of the South.

was shed, and the first prayer that was
over a Baldwin volunteer was bestow
gallant Bines. As they left the depnU
ago, on thc-’.r way to Virginia, there was not
eye in an assembly of hundreds. They have
charged their duty well. Their time has nearl
expired. In a few days they will be mustered out
of service, unless they re-enlist. For eleven
months they have known nothing of the active
scenes of a soldier s i;fe. Not one man in their
ranks lies fallen by the bands of tho enemy’ Sev
eral have died—peace to their hallowed ashes ;
but they have been greatly blessed with health as
a company; and now that the onemy, for the first
time, seriously threatens their position, will they
stand by their arms, or will they gec-k their homes?
Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and sweet
hearts, are you ready to welcome home your idols,
when they leave behind them an enemy almost in
sight of their smoking camp fin s? God be thank
'd, we have at least one mother amongst us. Her
•on had declined to re-enlist: when she hoard of
it, she promptly’ wrote him to stand firmly at his
p st. We hoar that only twenty-five men, out of
70 or 80, of the Blues, are willing to re-enlist in
Virginia. Would that we could impress upon
every member of the “Blues'’ the great importance
of re enlisting on the soil nf I'irginia. As we ad
mire tho corps, as wc love and respect its officers
*nd members, we beseech, wc entreat, we bag them
not to give up their organization, while the foe
is pressing upon Norfolk through North Carolina
Now that danger draws nigh, stand firm men, and
never let it be said of yuu, ill after times, that
you forsook your country’s causa when most im
perilled. Lieut. McCoinb and others of the Blues,
are now in this city, looking for recruits to fill up
the tanks of the‘‘Blues'' to 04 men, so that they
may not have to leave the service. Old Baldwin
will never forget the men who stand by her in this
the darkest hour of the Revolution.
Since writing the above, we learn that ad or
nearly all of the Blues, are willing to re-enlist after"
they return to Milledgeville. But if they h ave
Virginia they lore their position, and have to give
up their guns. &c. We hope the company will
re-enlist in Virginia.

A parallel to suit tbe Timrt.
There are a few men in this county who think
more of a bag of catton than they do of the success
of the Confederate States. They are short sight
ed creatuies who caunot see through the troubles
of the times into the blessings of in lependence
hereafter. They are selfish creatures who have vo
long worshipped an idol, they cannot even he pa
triots it they have to witness the dethronement of
their golden God. The Israelites of old, when
Moses was delivering them from the bondage ot
the Egyptians, because they had to endure hard
ships in passing through the Wilderness, mum-
mured at God and Moses, for taking them away
from the flesh pots of Egypt; and now these cot
tou worshippers in our midst, when they find that
they cannot plant cotton—that their golden God
is about to be hurled down from its pedestal—
they bitterly complain and abuse the leaders in
the s-cession movement and charge them with the
troubles which have been brought on the country.
Just so it was with tbe Israelites. They prefer
red bondage to Pharaoh, with tho flesh pots, to
freedom in the wilderness, and the promise of God
to Moses of safe deliverance at last. We speak
kindly, but candidly to all such unpatriotic plan
ters here or elsewhere. We tell them honestly
and truthfully if they plant cotton they ruin their
country and themselves. Their cotton is sure to
be destroyed by the Military power of the Gov
ernment, and ought to be, whenever there is prob
ability of its falling into the euemy’s hands. And
if they expect to sell their cotton to the enemy,
they mav also expect that this government will
treat them as traitors, worse even than tho Yan
kees. Martial law will soon spread over the
whole territory of the Confederate States, and God
speed the day. It would be a blessing to os all if
tbe strong arm of the Military power, was over
and around us. It would crush vice, and put an
end to treason. This is a free country it it is
true—where we have freedom of speech, but men
who dare utter treasonable or “Union” sentiments
among us, should be seized, confined, and ptitt-
i-hed summarily. This is no time for half way
measures, or milk and water sentiments. They
that are not lor us, are against us. Men may joke
on some things, but they must not joke their gov
ernment at this time, or abuse the men at tbe
head of it, for this is moral treason.
Patient, very patient, too patient by half.
A small army of some six or eight thousand
yan ke»*s h ave occupied what was once called the
sacred soil of South Carolina for many months
They have built wharves, houses, a railroad, &c .
aud appear to he making themselves very com
fortable. All this iime they have flaunted tho ha
ted yankce flag in the very faces of tho South
Carolinians with impunity. A large army of the
Confederate troops are very patiently watching
them, apparently waiting for England or Franc,
to drive the yankees away. They do not seem
to think they arc expected to do anything-, they are
waiting for something to turn up. Below Savan
nah some six or eight thousand yankees with »
few gunboats have everything their own way
They bnild saw mills, land on the islands and
build batteries with impunity, no one molests
.them. We have a large army there but they are
very patiently watching and waiting for some
thing to turn up. If we wait for tho enemy to get
everything fixed, something may turn up that will
not be so pleasant. Ask any of the officers why
they don’t try to annoy the euemv before lie i*
reinforced, they answer, we could easily drive
him out of the river, but our commanders won't
let us. Is it possible officers are employed only to
keep the meu from fighting ? or Ins all enterprise
loft our army? We have waited long enough for
something to turn up.

We find tho statement below in the Savannah
Republican of the 19th inst Gov. Brown is ab
sent. from Milledgeville. but the Comptroller Gen
eral and the Quartermaster General both say that
no correct account, from any Mechanic in Savatw
nah or elsewhere has been refused payment. Il'c
should think it mould be humiliating to make such a
statement as the one beiow. Here is the statement
of the Republican :
Gov Uroicn and the Mechanics —We learn from
a reliable source, that a number of mechanical es
tablishments in this city, extensively engaged in
the manufacture of the appurtenances of war.
have refused to receive orders from the State, on
account of tbe difficulty in getting pay for their
work. On the otner band, the Confederate author
i’ies are prompt in responding to all their con
tracts. Humiliating as this is, it is but just to a!
concerned that the truth should be known.
The Republican has withdrawn his statement
BrnrflM of Drafting over Volunteering
The sage of the Savannah Republican is out in
favor of drafting soldiers rather than receivii
volunteers. So far as the credit of our armies
are concerned we would rather have one regimen
of hearty volunteers than three of drafted men
who have been dragged into the field against the ir
will and have no stomach for the fight. But the
way that drafiing has been managed in Savannah
it would take a long time to raise an army. The
soldiers that wore late.y drafted in Savannah, we
understand, refuse to serve, and so far as we can
learn, by the decision of Judge DeLyon, are
likely to get clear on account of some informal
ity in the draft. If all the rest of tho State had
responde.d in the same way the new regiments
criled for by the Secretary of War could not have
been raised. But thanks to the patriotism of the
people a draft is not so popular in other parts of
the State as it seems to be in Savannah, and more
men have volunteered than were called for. We
hope tho drafted men from Savannah will not be
pnt with the other troops; they might do more
harm than good.
Whal the Yankees pay for Colton.
There are some mistaken souls, who dream that
the cotton they have now on hand, and ail they
can make this year, wiil be paid for by the Yan
kees if it ever falls into their hands. Where is tho
first instance to show that tho Yankees have paid
for a bag of cotton in any State South, which had
fallen into their hands ? Not one can be produced.
They have declared cotton contraband, and placed
it on the same footing with arms and munitions of
War, negroes, <fcc. At Nashville they took all
the cotton they could find and sent it North, and
did not pay one dime to the owners for it. If men
will plant cotton boyond their home necessities,
every bag ought to be destroyed, because it is an
enemy to us and our cause, and the greatest
source of strength aud only hope of success to tbe
Yankees.
A Nuggr»t:®n.
Could not all the cotton in the State be collect
ed at a central point unapproachable by water,
aud houaed and receipted for by agents of the
Government, and guarded by one, two or six com
panics, as tbe necessity of tbe case might require,
aud instructions given to tho officer in command
to destroy it, if it was likely to fall into the ene
my's hands, and tho pledge given if destroyed by
mi itary necessity, that the Government would re
imburse the owners of it ? It seems to us, that
if this nian was adopted, every planter would he
perfectly williug to send up his cotton, lie would
have not only insurance against tire, but against
loss of any kind. The idea is given for what it is
worth. It might be elaborated, but if it is feasi
ble there can be no objection urged against it.
How inurh Colton shall wc plant f
Not one aero, not a seed, only for home con
sumption. V\ hat will we plant cotton for ? There
is no chance to sell it. It will only serve to stim
ulate the exertions of the enemy. A large por
tion of the cotton now on hand will probably be
burned by our armies, or fall into tho hands of our
enemies. He who plants cotton now in all prob
ability piauts it either for the flames, or for the
enemy. If you want to feed our armies, plant
grain and raise stock; if you want to help our en
emies plant cotton- There is no disguising tbe
fact, the man that plants much cotton this yeai
will be looked upon as unfriendly to our cause
How can it be otherwise > It is a matter of life
and death, of victory or defeat, of plenty or star
vation. No man has a right to live entirely for
himself. If men employ their lands and negroes
in raising cotton and a famine comes upon the
land, ho will have the blood of famished men and
women upon his skirts. He will have the ven
geance of heaven, and the curses of perishing peo
pie upon his head. The patriotic planters of
Houston county surely will not thiuk of planting
4 acres of cotton to the hand with such a prospect
before them.
Oivr Credit.
Our neighbor, the Southern Recorder, has been
credited with several of oar articles ot last week-
He is too gallant to claim anything not his own,
and we hope our brethren will not embarrass him.
The Times copies the letter of a “Yankee girl to
her sweetheart” from our paper, and credits it to
the Recorder. The Chronicle & Sentinel copies
several news articles, ditto. Several other papers
make the same mistakes.
Eel the work be conirariicrd immediately.
Our Ladies have determined to build au iion
clad gunboat for the di fence of Savannah. They
are collecting the money by hundreds aud by
thousands of dollars per day ; and there is now lit
tle doubt but that the money will be soon collect
ed. But if the ladies want their money to do
good, the work must be commenced immediately.
It the enemy attack Savannah at all, it will prob
ably be in three or four months. There are. many
croakers who will say, it is all of no use, wc can’t
do any thing, there is no good place to build it,
there are no materials, no workmen, it is all hnm-
bug. it can’t be done. These are all base false
hoods, the suggestions of the faint hearted or of
cowards or traitors; the work can be done, and
done in time, if some gentlemen competent for
the work will undertake to manage it for the La
dies. Can’t a committee of gentlemen be named
who will commence the work immediately ? Let
the Ladies go on and collect the money, and the
Confederate Congress.
Amid the gloom that surrounds us, and in these
times of trouble, when almost every individual in
these Confederate States is called upon to ir^pke
great sacrifices, the people naturally turn thoir
eyes to the Confederate Congress for examples of
patriotism. But what do we there behold? A
band nf Statesmen willing to set an example of
devoted patriotism to their constituents ? Far
from it—we see there a class of men determined
to make the most they can out of their suffering
country. Whilst their country is bleeding at eve
ry pore, instead of dovising means to check the
foe aud save the country, they sit down coolly
and Vote themselves n*>out thirty-two or thirty-
three hundred dollars a year. Moro than double
the pay which the members of the old U 8. Con
gress received in its most corrupt era. When the
members of that Congress voted themselves fifteen
hundred dollars a year, there was a burst of indig
nation throughout the LTnited States, and many ot
the members who voted for that measure were the
next year permitted to stay at homo. When we
separated from the North, wo were promised a
cheap and economical government. This is a sad
beginning and if not checked foreshadows a dread
ful future This act of the Confederate Congress
has done more to discourage the real patriots at
the South, than ail the reverses of our arms. The
reverses of our arms may be compensated by fu
ture victories. But what good will all our victo
ries do us, if we cannot trust our own legislators
Why did not these Congressmen emulate the ex
ample of Washington ? When their constituents
were crushed to tbe earth with taxes and when no
honest man expects to mako money, why were
they not content to receive only their expenses ?
Then they would have been as well off as their
fellow countrymen. But instead of doing this,
they have voted themselves more pay per day,
than oar brave soldiers get for throe months, and
many of those who are now serring in tbe molts
of the army as privates, are in every respect su
perior to many of the members of Congress. But
it may be said that our soldiprs are laying tip a
valuable inheritance of honor and gratitude for
th-ir p .-terity, whilst ti;e members of this Con
gress will leave none of either to their children,
and it is therefore necessary that they should leave
them money. There is much truth snd point in
this argument, but we object that tbes9 men

For the Southern Federal Union.
Irwixtox, Wilkinson Co., Ga., March 14, 1852.
My attention has been called to an article in the
Southern Recorder, oi the 4th inst.. signed “Jus
tice.” The text of the article was, “Render unto
Csesar Che things that are Caesar's, and unto God
the things that are God’s.”
The whole pith of the article is nothing more
or less ‘‘than whether we of the South should sus
tain yankee school teachers or not.” And liisatu-
stver is that we should. Well, I. as a ^Southern
horn and raised man, think he is wrong in the
premises laid down, and his argument is, there
fore, iu my opinion not logical or sound.
He says that it may be well enough, or in his
own words “man is strong and athletic aud can
w ork. Then cut him dow n if you wiil—take hint
from the school room if you please. But woman,
weak and helpless woman, what shall we do with
her .’ She has torn asunder every tie that bin.is
her to the land of her birth, and cast her lot in
this die land of her adoption.” If iter conduct
has been good sustain her in the school room, if
bad cut her down, says Justice; in other words,
if her outward conduct has been good, then, be
cause she is a yankee. and nothing else, raise her
above our own daughters, and put her in chaige
over our beloved children—sons and daughters—
that she may, if she choose instil into their young
and unsuspecting minds Northern or Abolition
sentiments, ss has been already done in numerous
instances throughout the South. Aud when too
late, after the mischief has been done, theu screen
herself from the wrath of Southern chivalry be
cause she is a feeble woman.
I warn Southern people to recollect that Delilah
the wife of Sarnsun the strongest man the world
has ever seen, betrayed him into the hands of the
Philistines, the people of her own kith aud kin,
and he was conquered thereby, when all the Phil
istines never could have conquered bint; but for
her love for her kindred she, feeble woman, sold
her husband, and lie was slain. And therefore, I.
for one, am not disposed to give the training of
my son or daughter into the hands of a yankee
school mistress for fear that with her a i is no:
right on the institutions of the South. And 1
think ail those in the South who are striving to
build up yankee school houses and yankee inter
ests of any sort just at this time, should stop and
pause one moment, aud while they pause ask
themselves this question, do t^ey think, as honest
and Christian people who love their country, and
their children, that, it is right to place their off
spring and thair money in the hands of yankees at
this critical time, he they saint or sinner, man or
woman? Do you Southern fathers and mothers,
whose sous are to-day undergoing alt the priva
tions and hardships of camp life, and exposed to
death from the day they leave home until they re
turn from defending our country against the in
vasion of our foul aud hated enemies of the North,
believe it is right to pass over our own sous and
daughters of the South, who have labored long
and hard to qualify themselves to teach school,
and select a yankee teacher, man or woman, to
teach your children ? I answer for you, you do
not, if you are true Southerners and have not been
misled, as I nave no doubt many good and true
meu have, and have therefore put their children
under the care of yankee school teachers both
male and female. I pray you good parent to be
careful for the wellfare of your child, for the ad
age is “as the twig is bent the ;ree is inclined ”
I think (ho time has arrived when no father
should sustain yankees with their influence or
money while his son is periling his life evety day
to drive the Northern fiends from our beloved
South. Let not history have to record the solemn
truth that the South fed and sustained the yankees
while they were murdering our children, burning
our towns and cities, and laying waste our belov
ed country. May God in his wisdom incline the
minds of the Southern people to patronise South-
should filch the money they expect to leave to ern schools and Southern institutions; plan
th ir children out of the people. Some say that
they will have to remain in session the year round
Who wants them to ? Not their constituents cer
tainly. God forbid that they should remain long
in session, if what they have already done is a
fair specimen of their legislation. What have
they done for their country? Nothing—we know
what they have done for themselves. We hope
our brethren of the press in Richmond will furnish
the country with a list of the names of those men
who voted themselves such enormous pay when
their country is ground down with taxes. A ses
sion of a hundred days is ample time for them to
do ail that is necessary for the country, and the
longer they remain in Richmond ihe more corrupt
will they- become. Let us have their names, so
that the people will know them for a'l time to
come. Seuators may think that they are safe for
six years, but they will find that the people wiil soon
contrive means to reach them Let them make
the most of their pay until the next legislatures
request them to resign.

The Enemy nt A'askTlHc.
We learn that the enemy at Nashville
are not quite as comfortable as they wish.
The testoath is being applied to the citi
zens there, as well as in the county of
Davidson. Soon we shall hear of acts,
similar to those which have disgraced the
Yankee authorities in Baltimore and Al
exandria. Good citizens will be dragged
from their beds at midnight and sent to
prison, and women will be wantonly in
sulted should they dare to show their fa
ces in the streets. Some of these, we pre
dict, will not even escape* imprisonment,
But we are encouraged in hearing that
the enemy are excessively annoyed in the
city and its vicinity. In the former they
distrust almost all of the inhabitants, and
in the latter, the loyal Tennesseeans, es
pecially of Rutherford county, play sad
havoc with their pickets every night. O ne
night last week we learn no less than
thirty-live of their pickets wete shot.—
There is many a “Morgan” after them.

Discrediting Confederate Currency.
We have seen in soni9 of our papers, and beard
in conversation, of attempts to discredit Confede
rate. money by a few men. The first man caught
at this despicable trick to sell us to the yankees,
should be hung up to the first tree, without a trial.
It is the worst kind of treason. Confederate mo
ney is based on property—all tbe property in the
Confederate States—and is t’ erefore much better
they Bank bills which only promise to pay. It is
by this money that the machinery of the govern
ment is moved—it is the life blood which courses
through the arteries'of the body politic aud keeps
up a healthy action. Stop it for a miuute. or ob
struct its free circulation decay and death inevita
bly follow. Every citizen should watch closely
the business operations of their fellow men, and
wh*n they detect a man refusing to receive Con-
f derate money, or hear the currency denounced,
he should report his name to the public, with the
facts, and ho should be made an example of, by
hanging to tho first tree or lamp post.
Too many turn nr.nl oflice in the Army.
The number of Generals in the Confederate
Army looks as if wo were following the fashion oi

out doing anything but drawing his pay and ra
tions dues not, in our opinion, entitle any man to
promotion. Wc hope hereafter that every promo
tion in the army will be predicated on important
so-vices performed. If a man wants distinction
let him first distinguish himself. Let him earn
his spurs before he wears them, and let uo man be
promoted until he has done something to deserve
it. Tins intolerable thirst for office and high pay
is fast discouraging the people at home. Our
leaders must show a greater degree of self-sacri
fice or our cause is iu danger.

Wherever there is any considerable amount of
cotton collected the people are frightened and
clamorous for troops to protect them. If a portion
of our Army have to be detailed to protect the cot*
ton on hand what can we think of a man who in
stead of raising provisions, will still insist on rais
ing more cotton to add to onf difficulties and dan
gers. He is certainly helping our enemies and
injuring all aronnd him. Can such men expect to
prosper ?

correcting them, particularly as many per
sons who use rye as a substitute for cof
fee, might be frightened out of an innocent
beverage.
The extract says : “The grain being
burnt, contains fifty per cent of phospho
ric acid.” Now, uncientific people would
suppose this to mean when parched. We
suppose the Doctor intended the ash of the
grain. What is the true analysis of rye
according to the best authorities? 1,000
pounds produces only 10A pounds of ash;
and ot this 10i pounds only 0 40 of a pound
is phosphoric acid; not quite half a pound
to 1,000 pounds of the grain, ami not quite
5 per cent, of the ash, instead of upwards
of 50 per cent, being not quite the one
fifth of 1 per cent, of the solid grain. Be
sides, the Doctor forgets that not one par
ticle of the earthy salts is probably held
in solution by a common weak decoction
of the rye; and if the whole grain was swal
lowed there would only be the medium
amount of phosphoric acid contained in
wheat and other cereals, just about enough
to make bone instead of destroying it.
The effects of rye, or the phosphoric ac
id in it, on untero-gestation, is equally
fallacious, and quite as grave an error.
It is the ergot of rye that produces abor
tion, not the common health grain used
for coffee- It is a long black stinking grain,
easily distinguished from the other, and
only occurring under-certain unfavorable
circumstances. The common rye is quite
as innocent as wheat or coffee in this res
pect.
Will the papers (we have seen it in sev
eral) which published the extract, give
this an insertion ?

Sparta, Ga, March 12. 1862.
Tennessee and North Carolina.
All eyes are now turned to the opera
tions of the enemy now in Tennessee, and
the progress of his efforts to buist our bar
riers on the Mississippi, and sweep down
the Fathers of Waters to New Orleans.
It is an experiment fraught with tremen
dous consequences to the South. But,
there is, if anything, a still more danger
ous experiment going on in North Caroli
na, which does not seem to attract so
much attention. It is the movement of
Burnside’s on Goldsboro’ with 22.000 men;
which, ifhe can reach, he will cut off the
main artery of communication with Vir
ginia, and if backed by a similar operation
at Knoxville, in East Tennessee, commu
nication will be effectually cat off', and the
Old Dominion be isolated from the rest of
the Confederacy. lu such an event how
long our armies, could be sustained there
would be a serious question; and whether
all of them would not be forced to retreat
aud cut their wayftontbward at what sac
rifice of territory aud public property.
This is, to our mind, as serious and pres
sing a question as is now before the pub
lic. — Telegraph.
troops at Newbexti, certainly not less thftu a hun
dred The result of all tins is that with s kele
ton recipients of infantry an! spine few r.ttilleij
companies, and subsequently a battiiioU win
came in time to help cover the letreat we attempt
ed to hold a position against tweuty-tw > thi-monf
men with formidable gunboats on our flank, and
formidable fi -M batteries on our front.
Iu addition to the armed and uniformed troop-
there were 700 to cCti militia. Our whole force,
then, militia included could not have been mon
titan live thousand. A prisoner—we fear we must
confine ourselves to the singular article—a prison
er, a first Lieut who h'd been in command of an
eight gun field battery of the enemy states that
Aurtiside landed twenty-two thousand men, ami
had still a reserve c.n board his vessels
Our people numbering, as we have just tin’s
moment learn-'d, a little over five thousand, held
their ground fur about five hours, and would, no
doubt have held it longer had not the militia firs:
given way, and then the thirty-fourth regiment,
leaving unprotected the point they were put tc
guard Tiia miliiia no doubt did as well as an_'
militia cfl'tld have been expected to J under tin
circumstances Why the thirty-fourth followed
them iu their headlong flight, as they are said t-
have done, we cannot say. The regiment is com
posed of good material, and if there was any dis
affection with any officer, or even any want of con
fidence, that was not the ft me northe-way to show
it.
With these exceptions, hew or why occurring,
’.ve will not now attempt to say. the infantry
fought remarkably well ; in fact, fought with a
gallantry not exceeded by any men at auy point
during the war, inflicting a very heavy loss upon
the enemy. The point left unprotected by the re
treat or flight of the troops above referred to, was
guarded by the seventh who kept two companies
as a guard, while eight companies led by Major
Hail, repulsed and drove out in confusion a heavy
force ot the enemy who had poured into tho en-
trenchments This whole regiment behaved re
markably well, and we are proud to say that none did
better than our townsmen who were there. In Cap
tain K. B. McRae’s company, J. L Mclvethan, of
Brunswick, is slightly wounded, and Cobb, of
Columbus, is reported killed.
Colonel Avery’s Regiment, the thirty-third, suffer
ed heavily, and fought well. Colon.-! Avery anti Ma
jor Hoke tire reported killed. We trust that it is
not so, but fear that i: is.
t clone! Lee was reported killed, but wc learn that
this is not so. His horse is said to Ifave been killed
under liiu!, anti this, no doubt gave rise to tie- report
that he had been killed. His regiment also stood as
long as standing was possible.
Colonel Vance’s regiment was so placed we think
that it did not get into the main battle, lint also so that
it liad to cut its way out by some of the hardest kind of
fighting. It did do so.
Our cavalry wc fear, did not do ns they ought to
have lione. They did no good at all. Perhaps they
did harm. They were not iu tiie tight at til!.
Our loss in persons known to be killed and wound
ed is perhaps one hundred to oue hundred and fifty.
The enemy’s is reported at anything from six hundred
to sixteen hundred. We will probable hear more par
ticulars of these and other nj.itti-jsto day.
The first panic reports which represented a large
number of our people as being taken prisoners appear
to be almost wholly without foundation. The whole
number of prisoners will not reach two hundred.
We must here forewarn ottr readers to be on ti.eir
guard against all the wild stories told by early fugi
tives from the battle, too many of whom enacted parts
to which we blush to refer. Tiie four regiments who
did fight as also Latham's and lireni’s batteries ac
quitted themselves, even by the admission of the ene
my, most bravely, and we know that instead ofbeng,
as is represented by the trembling fugitives, either
panic stricken or demoralized, they are in good spir
its, satisfied that they did all that men could do against
ovonv ieimitig odds, and ready to try the issue under
more favorable auspices. Tin* number of prisoner
taken by the enemy is small. Our men repulsed t' < i .
four times, once at tiie pointed' tiie bayonet. This
they could not and would not stand.
It is said Hint the enemy was piloted through fi
swamp nnonr leftby a inuhulo.at tiny rate they were
piloted by somebody wii'o know the country, and there
is not wanting suspicion attaching itself to some white
person or persons.
The artillery companies behaved well. Of course
our heavy guns had to be abandoned, and some of our
field guns also. Latham’s battery is sa il to lmve
worked great havoc among the enemy. Brem’sbat-
tery Inst some of its pieces tut did Latham’s. We be
lieve the horses were killed.
The tiling is much better than it had been at first
represented. There is neither panic nor disorganiza
tion, save on the part of tiie fugitives who spread
abroad the most extravagant tales, and represented
everybody as being as bad ns themselves. To these
fugitives disgrace may attach, which it is incumbent
upon them to take the first opportunity tu-wipe out, but
tliis does not attacli to our gallant little army, who are
all right.
We think it best to forbear noticing tiie thousand and
one rumours current, casting the blame upon this
officer and that officer—this authority and that author
ity. Some of the charges may be true, or they may
no, be true. We cannot form any judgment without
fuller information. Making all true allowance for cir
cumstances that might Jiavi- modified the progress of
tiie fight or prolonged its duration, tiie all-sufficient ex
planation of our defeat was, iraut nf turn. With the
militia, they outnumbered us nearly fivetoone—leav-
ingouttlie militia, they-outnumbered us nearly six to
one. After Sinclar’sregiment left, those who bore the
bnint of tiie battle, were outnumbered fully seven to
one. That under these circumstances, we could hold
our position permanently, was net in tiie range of pos
sibility. Whether it was worth while to make a fight
at all, with such a disparity of force, is a question.
Had ail stood firmly, as nearly ail did, we might and
would have inflicted a very heavy loss on Hie enemy
and been enabled to retire with comparatively trifiii g
loss to ourselves, therefore we think it right to fight
wherever we can fight, with such a result. Whether
tiie best position was cnosen for this, or tiie best dis
positions made, we cannot say. Whether tiie depart
ment is right in putting men in mere squads, or not,
we leave to the people who look to it for defence to
say.
We have over and again endeavoured to call the at
tention of all in power to the necessity of having ••
moveable force of fifteen to twenty thousand men at
Goldsboro’, ready to be directed on any menaced
point, but we have not been able to get a hearing —
Had that been done all might have been right.

Cnr Fallen Leader in Arkansas.
Ben. McCulloch, whose loss on the field
of battle will be mourned by his country
men, wasthesonof Alexander McCulloch
who was a Lieutenant and Aid to General
< ’offee, of Tennessee, in the battles of Tal
ladega and Horse Shoe Bend, and who
resigned his commission in March, 1814.—
lien was borne in Rutherford county, Ten
nessee, in 1S14. He was a Captain of the
Texas Rangers in the Mexican war, and
was distinguished for courage and conduct
in the battle of Montery.—On the llth of
July, IS45, he was appointed quartermas
ter, with the rank of Major. He was also
distinguised in the battle of Buena Vista
and as the commander of a spy company
before that battle; for a most daring and
successful reconnoisance. He resigned bis
staff'appointment in 1S47. At bis death
lie was a Brigadier General, commanding
a division known as McCulloch’s division
and chiefly composed of Arkansas and
Texas troops. The 3d Lotiisana, Col.
Hebert, was attached to his division.
Col. James McIntosh who fell at the same
time was from Florida, and was the son
of that Brigadier General, James S. Mc
Intosh, who so greatly distinguished him
self iu the last war with England, and in the
Mexican war, at 1’alo Alto and Resaca de
la Palma, in which last light he was datt-
gerotisly wounded, afterwards at Churulnis-
eo, and lastly at the storming of El Molino.
where he received a severe wound, of
which in 1S47 lie died.
The late Col. McIntosh was a cadet of
West Faint,-and graduated in 1845. On
the 1st of July, 1849 he was commission
ed Brevet Lieutenant in the 1st United
States Infantry, and, in May, 1851,
in the Sth Infantry. He was a most ac
complished soldier and officer, and his
death is to be deeply lamented, as depri
ving our cause of one of its most efficient
defenders. He was Colonel of an Arkan
sas regiment, hut commanded the 1st Brig
ade in McCulloch’s division, and in his
absence commanded the division.
Col. D. McRae, who shared the fate of
those two brave leaders, commanded an
Arkansas regiment in McCulloch’s division
called “McRae’s.” He, too, is spoken of
as a gallant aud efficient officer.
The Gen. Slack, w-lio is reported to
have been mortally wounded in the same
tight, is a Mississippian, and was formerly
a Captain in Price’s regiment of Missouri
Volunteers. He is mentioned in the Un
ited States Army List as having distin
guished himself in the affairs at Embudo
aud Taos, in New Mexico.
Tbe Col. (not General) Hebert who is
reported to have also fallen in the bloody
strife of the 7th, is Louis Hebert, Col of
3d Louisiana, and commanding the 2d Brig
ade in McCulloch's division. Gen. P. O
Hebert is his brother.

The Mortar Fleet.—A great deal is
expected of D. D. Porter’s mortar fleet,
which is on its way to tbe gulf, and the
probable, destination of which is Mobile
or New Orleans; bomb vessels are nothing
now iu modern warfare. If they be found
effective in any except a species of war
fare condemned and repudiated by all civ
ilized nations—the destruction of towns
and villages—it will be a new discovery.
Tbe British tried lo send some of their
boats up the river in 1815 to co-operate
with the army in the attack upon this city.
The little mud fort at 8t. Philip held them
at bay for seven or eight days, and finally
diove them off, and yet they never got
nearer to the fort than a mile. The lort
was then under the command of Major
Overton, an uncle of tlie present Governor
of Louisiana. The bomb kelates, as they
were then called, used mortars
of as large a calibre as those which Por
ter's fleet carries. If Forts Jackson and
St. Phillip are not aide to drive them
off and destroy them, our batteries
must be managed with farles skill and
interpidity than the small battery of St.
Phillip was in 1815. -New Orica us Delta.]

Denver City, March 7th, via Julesburg,
March 8th.— The following news was re
ceived here to-day by Military Ex
press.
“A desperate and terrible battle, lasting
all day, took place at Valvorde, ten miles
south of Fort Craig on the 21st of Febru
ary.
•tThe fight was probably resumed again
on the 22d.
“Tbe loss is great on both sides.
“Both parties claim the victory.
“A regiment of New Mexicans, com
manded by Col. Panton, ran away.
“Capt. McRae who had charge of our
Artilery, and everyone of bis command
were killed at his post, and their cannon
was taken by the rebels-.
“Kit Carson was within fifteen miles
of Fort Craig.
“Firing was IiparJ in his direction but
with what result was not ascertained at
the time the messenger left.
The Enemy at Xashritle—We learn that the
enemy at Nashville are not quite as comfortable
ns they wish. The test oatli is being applied to
the citizens there, as well as in the county of Da
vidson. 8oon we shall hear of acts, similar to those
which have disgraced tiie Yankee authorities in
Baltimore and Alexandia. Good citizens will be
dragged from tln ir beds at midnight and sent to
prison, and women will be wantonly insulted
should they dare show their faces in tiie streets.
Some of these, we predict, will not even escape
imprisonment. But we are encouraged in hearing
that the enemy are excessively annexed iu the city
and its vicinity. In tiie former they distrust al
most ail of the inhabitants, and in the latter, the
lovsil Tennesseeans especially of Rutherford
county, play sad havoc with their pickets every
night. One r.igiit last week we learn that no less
than thirty five of their pickets were shot. There
is many a “Morgan ’ after them Even * Buell”
himself does not feei safe, and we are told keeps
quite close to his quarters.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
Ln-rr from Newbera, X.-C.
Wilmington, N C , 17. h—Further delaiis fi otn
tbe battle at Newbern have been received. Re
ports differ very materially in details. Tiie most
apparently reliable are that our i irees consisted of
five skeleton regiments ol intantiy. a few artillery
companies, anti a battalion which came i:t time to
cover the retreat of our forces. Tiie force of the
enemy was 22,01*0, with formidable gunboats, or,
tbe flauk. and formidable field batteries in front
and a heavy reserve. Our entire force was about
?.,() 0. Our troops held ilu ir ground for five hours;
I'he militia first gave way. Our loss in killed and
wounded, from 10U lo 150. The loss of the ene
my variously stated from 500 to 11*00 The only
troops engaged were the North Carolina troops
Col. Avery and Maj. Ilooko were killed. Lieut.
Col. Haywood was nut. killed, as formerly reported.
A flag of truce lias gone down and will return
scon, when a full report of the casualties will be
obtained.
Norfolk, 21»t .--The Minnesota is at an
chor east of the Rip Raps, disabled, but
not sunk. Four transports and a steamer
full of troops, are in the Roads, supposed
to be destined for Burnside. Three large
Federal frigates are at Fortress Monroe.
A number of vessels detained by the North
east storm went to sea yesterday.
Bad News.
The news still continues unfavorable,
nor, in fact, do we look for a lurn in tbe
tide of fortune for some time to come.—
Not until the disproportion in the forces
employed is in some considerable degree
modified, and the enemy’s naval abjuvants
arc shut out from some of the Western
Rivers by an abatement of the wasters,
do we see any great probility that tbe tide
of invasion may he stayed and the enemy
driven back Northward. That this will be
done in the course of the spring and sum
mer. we cannot doubt. That an army of
half a million men can over-run the Con
federate States is what we have got to see
done, before • we believe it. We have
abiding faith that before another winter
sets in, the Lincoln forces will find them
selves were they started, and all their
work to do over again with vastly dimin
ished chances of success. Courage and pa
tience.

Mompliis, March 2 I.—An attack has been made
on cur post tion at Island No. 10. The enemy
commenced sfielliog our works on Saturday,
March loth, at along distance; on .Sunday, the
attack was renewed. On Monday, the enemy
brought down right gunboats and six mortar
b'>ats and commenced shelling onr works again.
They lashed three oi tlisir gunboats together, and
made a desperate attack on Capt Rucker’s bat
tery. The firing was terrific. Lieut. Clarke, of
Capt. Rucker’s battery, was killed.
Oil Tuesday morning the enemy renew’d ibe
a tack with three gunboats and eight mortar boats:
that one of tiro gunboats ventured within good
range of onr big gun, the “Lady Folk,” which
was turned loose at her. The first shot was
ruiss: llio second took effect, and cleared its way
through the boat from side to side Assistance
was sent her, and she was towed a short distance
back, when she suuk.
At a later hour a second boat renewed the at
tack on tiie battery of tiie Lady Polk, which fired
seven shot in return. Four missed their mark;
two struck and glanced, and one, which was the
si venth, parked ihrough tho boat, tearing off a
pi“ce of the iron sheeting, which could be seen
from the island. This boat was also towed back,
evidently disabled but to what extent our inform
ant was unabie to say
It mav not be improper to add that our officers
felt confident of their ability to hold the island.
They have no idea of abandoning the position.
