Enjland wiakea !• prolong (he War.
Notwithstanding all that tha operatives in the
cotton factories in England have goffered and will
suffer. it is undoubtedly the interestand the desire
of the British Government, and the British aristoc
racy to prolong the war. There aro many power
ful reasons to lead ns to this conclusion. In the
the first place England looked upon the United
States before the split between the North and
South, as a dangerous political, commercial, and
manufacturing rival, that wag every day and eve
ry hour, robbing her of Ihe^mpire of the seas, and
control of commerce. She purchased our cotton,
grumhlingly and grudingly, not because she had no
other cotton at fo r control, for the Indias is the
h >mo of the cotton plant, bnt because the Ameri
can cotton made better cloth than the cotton from
India: and whilst the yankees, the French and
Dutch had our cotton and were making a good ar
ticle from it, the English would have been driven
from the markets of the world, if they had not
purchased the American cotton and manufactured
a good article also. But now when the yankees,
tbe French and the Geimans can't get the Atuer
ican cotton, the English can. sell their poor fab-
lics made out of India cotton, and as long as this
state of affairs lasts, cotton fabrics made of India
cetton will sell, but no longer. A large portion
of tbe aristocracy of England has an interest in
the lias* India Company, and it is their interest
to promote the growth and consumption of India
cotton. This war helps them to do this in sever
al ways: 1st, it cripples the cotton manufactories
in the Northern States and on the continent of Eu
rope, both of which were the rivals of English
cotton factories. Again it compels the people to
buy and use goods made out of India cotton, be
cause they can’t get a material made out of Amer
ican cotton. This war also gives the carrying
trade of the world to England, which had in a
great degree, before the war, fallen into the hands
of the Americans. It also heipa tbe woolen and
liuen manufactories of England. Thus we see
that the war helps a groat many powerful interests
of England, whilst it hurts only the poor opera
tives of tbe cotton factories. But when did the
government of England ever shape her policy to
suit the poor? Never ! her legislation is always
t) benefit the rich, and a large portion of the
rich in England are benefitted by this war. Besides
England has many political reasons for wishing
tbe war to continue. The United States, before
the war, were getting so powerful as to endanger
ai! the possessions of Europeans on this continent
They had it also in their power in a short time to
create a Navy that would have been formidable to
England. Now England gloats over the prospect
of the two sections mutually destroying each other.
Whether we believo it or not, England most cor
dially hates the whole race from the St. Lawrence
to the Rio Grande, and she rejoices to see us
weakening each other. She hates the North per
haps worse than she does the South, because she
fears lipr more, and because she borders on her Ca
nadian provinces. It may not be believed now by
some but the time wili come when all must see
that it is the interest and the wish of England for
this war to be protracted until both sections shall
Income exhausted. Her whole conduct proves
this, she has not yet forgiven us for the many mor-
ti ications she suffered at our hands in two former
wars.
If there is yet a man in all the South who
believes that England will interfere in our behalf,
e ther to raise the blockade or to acknowledge
our independence, let him read Mr. Yancey’s
speech delivered a few days ago to the citizens of
K w Orleans. The speech will be foand in an
other column of our present issue. No man in the
Southern Confederacy had a stronger belief in the
omnipotence of cotton than Mr. Y'aucey before he
w-‘nt to Europe. He has come back a wiser man
He now says that cotton is very powerful, bnt not
Am'rican cotton: Mr. Yancey has learned some
thing about the East India Company since he has
been in England. Their cotton is very powerful
with the English government, and this interest
is diametrically opposed to our cotton. If goods
manufactured out of American Cotton conld be
sent to compete with British goods, then onr cot
ton would be powerful, but as long as onr ports
ar>- closed, and our cotton goods are out of the mar
ket, the East India cotton goods have full sway,
and the East IndiaCompany flourishes. Mr. Yan
cey says we have no friends in Europe. We have
nvmy friends among the people, but none of the
European governments are friendly to us. We
must tight our own battles and learn to spin our
own cotten and send it to market in our own ships,
and tlieo it will be powerful. The great Western
Republic was an eye sore to all the Monarclis of
Europe. It was fast undermining their power at
home and abroad, and they aro rejoiced to see it
rent in twain and to see the two secrions devour
ing each other. To them the fight is a very pleas
ant spectacle, and they are very willing to see it
go on until both section* are too weak to give
them any further annoyance.
The Negroes I* be Einasiripnlcd.
Abraham Lincoln has at last set the ball in mo
tion, which from “prudential considerations” he
had hitherto hesitated to start He has advised
Congress to adopt a general emancipation bill,
and the lower House passed the recommendation
by three to one. The yankees are letting the cat
out of the bag, and we truly thank them for it.
Slaveowners, especially yon men who hoped that
Abraham woold spare your little plantation if he
came South, what have you to sav now? Where
is your hope? All your niggers are declared by
Lincoln's Congress to be free. Are you most
ready to fght—are you most ready to plant cotton
a'd s'arve the Southern Army? Are you most
ready to charge an exorbitant price for corn, and
thua help the yankees to whip the Southern armies.
Go on gentlemen—go it with a rush ! plant your
cotton, starve our armiea, and then sit down and
turn over all your niggers to Massa Abraham.
We are telling you no secession lie, as yon have
once charged. We call your attention to fact*.
Are you ready to fight for Sam, Phil. Peter, Dave,
Jack, Bill, Ely. Milus, Bob. Simon, Mark, Dorcas,
•Sal.Ju'e, Phillis, Moll, Jane, Charlotte, Dinah,
Dolly, Lucy, Maria and the little niggers? If you
•re not, prepare to give them all up to Lincoln.
11“ lias spoken. He has declared against slavery,
anj all you masters, who love the Union and hate
s’resh will take doe notice.
Cot. Rroon sail the Csltss Planters.
It is understood that some of our planters Bre
so greedy for gain that they are preparing to plant
large crops of cotton, when every man of sense
knows that the salvation of the country depends
upon the next grain crop. We are authorized to
say that Gov: Brown intends to recommend the
Legislature at its next session to pass a law impo
aing a tax of $‘25 00 per bag upon every bag of
cotton made in the State beyond what each citizen
n -edg for his own immediate use. If onr planter*
w il! hazzarj all upon a cotton crop, they should
h« made to pay the whole tax of the State, and
their lands and negroes should be sold if necessa
ry to pay the tax. They would do well to reflect
before they go further. The Governor is deter
mined to press the passage of tbe law, and public
sentiment will require the legislature to do it. Look
°ut gentlemen the crop will be an expensive one to
you. Corn will pay much better.
•“resident Davis and fais Rcvilcr*.
There are some men. a very few we hope, in the
-out.itrn Confederacy, who for several months
‘ u <- loin day to day been engaged in endeavoring
1 > a i< nate the hearts of the Southern people from
t 'o I resident ot their choice. Not satisfied with
vituperation and abuse, they even hint at an at-
enipr to drive him from the position where the
unanimous voice of the people has placed him,
by another revolution. And these men claim to
he patriots of the purest water, and attempt to
perpetrate lh< ir Diabolical purposes under the
mask oi patriotism. What they wish or expect to
accomplish we know not, hut so far as they have
any influence, they are helping Lincoln, helping
onr worst enemies, more than they could possibly
do if they went over and joined the enemy. I»
would he far better for the South if they wera in
the ranks of our enemies. President Davis now
occupies one of the most difficult positions in
which a man could be placed. Haviintaa placed
at the head of a new govern during^KKo
he has had to create an Arrnv and N;
meet one of the most formidable i
cord. Ife has been forced to appof
me 1 to office of whom he knew noth!
r-port. It in doing this he had not madi
mistakes it would have been miraculoas. B
this is the crime of which he is accused. His
emies say he has not appointed the right men to'
office. He has perhaps overlooked themselves
and their friends This is his crime. The Presi
dent has no doubt made some mistakes : but even
iiis enemies accord to him pure motives and an
ardent patriotism. He is the chosen leader of the
desperate contest in which we are engaged, and
any one who weakens his influence with the peo
ple injures the cause in which we are all embarked,
and gives aid to our enemies A similar cabal
was gotten up during the old Revolution against
" ashington by the friends of Lee, Gates and Con
way. But Providence, and the people sustained
Washington, and his revilers were left to reap the
reward of their base slanders. We believe that
President Davis is as good a man as we could
have selected for the position he occupies. But
whether he is or not, he has been chossu for six
years, and it is our boutiden duty as well as our
interest to sustain him in the position where we
have placed him. He is the leader of the forlorn
hope of the Southern Confederacy, and if we do
not support him he and we and our cause will all
fail together The man who strikes at him strikes
at the heart and head of the Confederacy. The
man who weakens his influence with the people
strikes at the cause in which we are engaged, and
is a deadly enemy of every man in the Confedera
cy- We have au abiding confidence that the peo
ple will with heart and hand sustain their Presi
dent and rebuke his traducers.
“A sober woril to sober men.”
Read the article in this paper with the above
heading. It is an able, just and impartial defeuce
of President Davis. Let croakers fume and fret.
Our noble President lives in the hearts of his
grateful countrymen, who pray day by day that
his valuable life may.be spared to enable him to
witness the rising splendor of the new born Re
public.
A Pattern.
There are some vankee sympathisers in the
South who have practised lying and stealing so
long, that they liavo lost all idea of what is a real
good lie. We give them below a model—a copy
which they may ever keep before them—one
which will never fail to carry them where a big
lie can. The N. Herald furnishes the model
Here it is. .Speaking of the fight at Hampton
Roads, where the Virginia ruined 4 or 5 vessels,
the Herald fixes up its European number thus—
“The Naval Engagement in Hampton Roads; the
Rebel fleet disabled, and driven back. 1 ’ Now beat
that lie who cau.
Will it be done f
We almost feel ashamed to recur so often to the
'•thrice told tale” of building gunboats for the de
fence of onr waters; but wo teel it to be a duty,
and in the performance we find pleasure. There
is hardly anything more certain than the fact,
that the cities of Charleston, Savannah. Mobile
and New Orleans will be in possession of tha
Confederates during the Spring and Summer of
the present year. But if we are as unprepared
next November to defend these cities, as we are
to-day, they will surely fall. During the Sum
mer, when the enemy cannot live on the Southern
coast, they will be hard at work building gunboats
and iron clad steamers, to make their descent up
on our cities next Winter. During the whole of
the next Summer, the ports of Charleston, Savan-
uah, Mobile and New Orleans will be as free from
molestation as any Northern city ; and at those
places we must go to work in real earnest. Say
not, count not, that the war will close before the
next Wiuler. It will not end with one Winter
campaign. If the Yankees fail this Winter, they
will redouble tiieir energies for the next Winter.
We must be ready for them. Can we get ready ?
That’s the question. If we cannot, we will be
overrun. Let not the Government spare any ef
fort at preparation. Begin the work at all these
cities, and work just as though it was expected the
War would last six years. Why postpone ? Why
delay ? Why wait till next week, or next month,
to begin to build a Merriinac at Charleston, one at
Savannah, one at Moblie and one at New Orleans?
Why stop to count the cost ? Better spend fifty,
or even a hundred millions, to secure our inde
pendence, than by false notions of economy lose
all. Say not that these cities may fall before the
iron clad vessels are built. That is none of your
business. If we do our duty, and fail, we have
earned the approbation of mankind, and diverted
the frowns of Heaven. Now is the appointed j
time. Next August or September will be too late.
A half dozen iron clad vessels will save this fair
land and good people from the clutches of the in
solent despot who seeks to crush us beneath his
heel. If the government is not fully up to the
mark, we beseech the patriotic and sagacious citi
zens of the cities we have named, to begin the
work themselves, and then call on the government
for help if their means are inadequate. On the
conduct of the government and people for the next
six months depends the success or failure of the
Revolution. God grant the government may not
err at this crisis.
Traitors.
These are times when every man should speak
plainly. If a man sells or attempts to sell cotton
out of the Confederate States, no matter to whom,
he is a rank traitor, and the press should hold
him up to public scorn while there is a type in
the case or a drop of ink in the bucket. The
man who plants cotton now, more than he needs
on his farm, is also a traitor; he helps the Yan
kees and he should not be allowed to walk in com
pany with true Southern men. There are, at the
least calculation, three million bales of cotton
now on hand. If the War continues till next
December, there will still be nearly three million
bales in the Southern Confederate States. Are
these not enough for home consumption ! Cotton
is the enemy of the South. If every cannon in the
Southern States was to fall into the enemy’s
handto-morrow.it would not hurt us one half as
much, as if one million cotton bales was to get
into their hands. Cotten is the great enemy of
the Confederate Slates in this war; and the man
who makes more than he intends to use for do
mestic purposes, is certain to be branded with in
famy. He cannot hide his shame. His neighbors
will know, as well as he does, how many acres he
has planted in cotton, and the community will al
so know the truth. When Bacon is 40 cents a
pound, flour $16 to $20 per barrel, and meal
$1,50 per bushel, how cau a poor man live, who
works fof 50 cents or 75 cents per day ? How is
the soldier's family to be rescued from starvation,
if the cotton planters do not provide meat and
bread t It is not only their duty to plant grain
and vegetables, but it is plainly their interest to
do so. But if they will not listen, to the whisper,
inga of duty, tbe promptings of patriotism, or tbe
teachings of interest, and will persist in planting
cotton, then they become the enemies of their
country, and should be branded as traitors as
iongas they live in the land, or while there is a
tongue or pen to record their infamy.

Sir:—I am informed that certain specu

are believed to be enemies to our cause,
are purchasing large quantities of cotton
for shipment to points in that State, with
a view, it is supposed, of placing it within
the reach or the Federal troops.
You are, therefore, hereby directed to
suspend the shipment of cotton over the
W. & A. Road till further orders; and to
give public notice that the Road will not
receive cotton for shipment. As it is bet
ter that the cotton remain upon the planta
tions, yon will also refuse to receive any
upon the line of the Road, for storage, in
any depot or other building belonging to
the Road.

In the House of Lords, Lord Campbell called
attention to the inefficiency of the Blockade ot
The Confederate ports, and moved for the cor r es-
pondence on the subject. Russel replied to the
proof advanced by Lord Campbell of the inefficien
cy of the blockade, ami recounted the continued
etlorts which have, been made by the North to ren
der it effective. He said that ho considered that
the want of cotton in the English market was the
best test that the blockade was an empty one. He
added that the removal of the old feeling between
the North and the South was impossible, and he
hoped that the North would consent lo a peaceful
separation of the Southern c-tates. He said, that
he trusted, that within three months the war
would close, leaving emancipation possible to be
effected by gradual and peaceful means. He said
also, that no formal communication had been
made by the French Government in regard to the
inefficiency of the blockade.

A Choctaw Regiment Tor Virginia.
Tush La Homa, a Choctaw warrior writes an
interesting letter from his Nation, under date of
February 4th to the Richmond Enquirer, in ref
erence to military and political affairs among bis
people. From it we learn that, the regiment of
Choctaw warriors to serve in Virginia, under Col.
Beneale, is rapidly filling up and advancing
in drill and discipline, Washington Hudson, son
of the present Executive of the Nation, is captain
of one of the companies. We quote the following
paragraphs.
Our warriors, who have enlisted for Viiginia,
under the command of Col. Deneale are now in
camp, and are drilling daily. It is- astonishing
with what rapidity those Choctaw warriors learn
to go through the evolutions of the drill. They
are all active athletic and able-bodied men, and
the best marksmen and horsemen in the world.
They are exceedingly anxious to go and fight the
enemy in the Old Dominion State. At an early
day the war whop and the war song will be heard
in the good old Mother State.
Volunteers are coming in hourly and daily.
We will soon be on the march to Richmond. We
go to Virginia—glorious old Commonwealth—to
share with her Iproud and pairiotic sons and
daughters their daugers and misfortunes; and drive
from her soil that servile degraded cowardly
race—Yankees.
“No more as victors shall they tread the sod,
And they must feel the lash and kiss the rod.
And for their motto take the sad word—Icrabod”
No people has made greater sacrifices than the
Choctaws In proportion to our population, no
nation has turned out more volunteers. We have
manifested our patriotism and valor not by words
but by deeds. We are a united people and we
have embarked in the glorious cause of Soulhern
independence. Shoulder to shoulder, side by side,
with tbe| brave and valiant soldiers and volume
of tbo Confederate States, we are determined
to conqueror die.
From Price's Army.—Col. John P. McMillin
of Missouri, has arrived at New Orleans, just from
Price’s army in Arkansas. He gives us a thrilling
account ot the baptism of fire and blood through
which Missouri has already passed in her heroic
struggle against her oppressor. His own house,
in Iianuinal, was one of the first the invaders visi
ted. They took him prisoner, and stole several
of his servants. The latter were subsequently
restored, but again taken away. lie rufnsed to
take the oath of allegiance, but agreed not actu
ally to take up arms against the United States
until exchanged, and was thereupon paroled. He
considers himself still a prisoner but is at liberty
to engage in the recruiting service for Price's ar
my and it is for that purpose that he visits New
Orleans. He statrs that in his opinion Missouri
would give to-day, if entirely unshackled a hun
dred thousand majority in favor of the Confeder
ate States. In coming through Arkansas he met
men flocking to the standard of Van Dorn and
Price, and thinks their position at Boston Moun
tain a very strong one. The Indians under Gen.
Pike are rallying to our side aud the prospects
•re the we shall soon assume the offensive.
A Patriotic Man.—Mr. J. J. Head of
Pike county, just returned from twelve
months’ service in the Quitman Guards,
re-enlisted, and gave his fifty dollars of
bounty money to the Ladies Gunboat
Fund having previously sent in almost al!
his-monthly pay to the Soldiers Relief
Committee of his connty. That is
noble and patriotic sonl.

FROM THE WEST.
Mobile, 25.—A special despatch to
the New Orleans Picayune, from Memphis
says the enemy are moving cautiously to
wards Decatur, Ala. A column is mov
ing Southwards from Columbia and another
moving acros Tennessee from the direction
of Corinth, it is.believed for the purpose
of uniting their two main columns at some
point on the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road, near Decatur.
A special despatch to the Advertiser &
Register from Memphis says that the bom
bardment of Island No. 10 continues des
perately, day and night. 'I he main attack
of the enemy is directed against Rcukler’s
Batter}’. The Confederates work knee
deep in water, displaying great valor.
Loss on our side slight, Two of the ene
my’s gun boats have been certainly sunk.
The Federals are moving down the west
side of the river, through the swamps and
back water, in dug-outs. They have four
saw mills at work, making lumber to build
boats. The Island is amply provided for
a seige, and the Confederates are in good
spirits.

Tin- Federal* in Nusliville—4.500 Sick—
l.SOO Yankees Deserted.
Chattanooga Tenn. March 2>,J862.
Editor Morning Xnrs: ’
Thinking you might wish to learn something of
tbe doings of the Federals iu Nashville, I write
what information I get here, and know it to be
correct, from one who ran the blockade and arri
ved at this place to-day. He reports tlie force now-
in Nashville at 5,00(1 men. Gen Buell has lefr there
advancing Southward. There are 4,500 sick in
the hospital and 1,800 have deserted since the
occupation of Nashville. All our bank bills good
Confederate notes,, of •course, are repudiated.
They claim to have 100,000 men iu all. One gun
boat is anchored in the river. No fortifications are
being put up by them. The citizens keep them
selves aloof from ibe soldiers and officers. Andy
Johnson is Governor, and marie a speech when he
came, the substance of which was that be was
glad to see the stars and stripes waving over the
city again, and that it would soon wave over the
whole rebel States. They were repairing bridges
burnt by Gen. Johnson, and would have trains
running between|Looisville and Nashville in twen
ty days. They had not interiered with private prop
erty, except in stealing a few negroes. All the
cotton they got was about 3000 bales which was
being used in the construction of the Fort a few
miles below Nashville.
The report of Capt. Morgan’s capturing a train
of ears with the telegraph operator and instruments
was correct, and he [Morgan) sat down and dis
patched to Gen. Buell and Prentice what he had
done.
l.inroln's Resolution on Klnvory.
We publish to-day Lincoln’s Message to
the Federal Congress in which is embraced
a Resolution submitted by him to that Body
on the subject of the abolition of slavery in
the State, or, in any State. The resolu
tion declares tliat “the United. States
ought to co-operate with any State which
may adopt the gradual abolishment of sla
very; giving to such Btate pecuniary aid,
to be used by such state in its discretion
to compensate for the inconvenience, pub
lic and private produced by such change of
system.”
The people of the South can now see
what is in store for them, should they fail
to maintain their independence. The base
bribe is now offered to tbe border States
of tbe Confederacy, for the purpose of
winning over the slave-owners to the Fed
eral cause. But in offering this bribe, we
see the evidence under his own hand, that
the abolition of slavery in the South, was
his orignal intent, when nominated by the
Black Republican party as a candidate for
President. The resistance made by the
South to his electiou; the withdrawal of
the Cottou States from the Union as soon
as be was elected; the fear of losing the
border States when he went into office; all
contributed to the concealment of his base
purpose in the outset of his administration.
He now thinks the time has come when
he can safely unmask himself. Recent
successes of his army have embolden him
and he now transmits to his Congress, this
insidious proposition of giving pecuniary
aid to any State wili who abolish slavery.
The bribe is intended for Virginia, for Ken
tucky, for Missouri and Tennessee. That
it will be spurned with contempt and loath
ing by the people of those States, who
have thus far proved loyal to the South
and the institution of slavery inherited
from their sires, we have not a doubt rest
ing upon our mind. What effect it will
have upon the timid neutrals or the dis
loyal, who have weakly reposed confidence
in the assurances that their slave property
would i ot be interfered with remains to be
seen. We notice that Mr. Crittendon in
fluenced the House not to pass the Resolu
tion at this time. The old traitor doubt
less made pledges himself to his people in
Kentucky, that it ignored. But his plead
ings were of no avail —the Resolution
was passed in the House by a vote of S&
yeas to 31 nays; and it will assuredly pass
the Senate.
The South must now, if it has not be
fore, wake up to the magnitude of the cri
sis. Abolition of slavety is now deteimined
upon by the Yankee government. Whore
the sword cannot effect it money must—
at least this is Lincoln’s now avowed poli
cy T he hypocritical wretch and his base
minions, little known the spirit of our peo
ple. Fight we will,
“Till the last armed foe expires.”
Fight we irnust or be reduced to a condi
tion more degt^ded than any civilized race
upon the face of God’s earth! It is with
horror we look upon even Uie probability
of the fate which tbe Yankee government
designs shall be ours. Men of the South,
prepare all of yon to draw the sword, and
throw away the scabbard! Women cf the
South send forth your sons to battle! Let
us all determinee to # be free, and all the
hosts that Lincoln can put iu the field to
subjugate the South, will fail to achieve it!
Be bold be united, be daring he resolved to
die or conquer and we shall never wear the
Yankee yoke! Look no longer abroad for
help but trust to you own strong arm, and
the justice of your cause! With God’s
help we shall yet win the day, for when
did He ever desert those who first
performed their dnty and put their trust
in him?—Intelligencer.
Dralh of Wni. F. Pritchard.
We were shocked to learn the sad news of the
death of our old friend Wm. F Pritchard, Esq. He
j expired-at Richmond, Va , at 12 o'clock last night,
| after an illness of a few days.
Mr. Pritchard's death will not only bo a great
loss to Sis family and immediate friends, bnt will
be.sensibly felt bv the community and the press.
No ninn was better qualified to fill the responsi
ble station of news agent than lie. No man so
well understood nnd supplied tbe wants of the
press. We tear that the loss sustained by his
death will be difficult to repair.
His social mid companionable qualities made
him a favorite with all who knew him, and his
liberality, charity, and business capacity gained
him good opinions from all classes of men.
As a member of community few had the facnl
ty of attracting to himself the friendship of all
who came in contact with him.
May his many good traits keep his memory
alive in the city, where he was so long a resident

Capture of Three Yankees by Three
Men of the Holcombe Region, on Edisto Is
land.—This, we learn, was quite a daring
act, iu al! probability saving the captors
themselves from capture. Three privates
of the Holcombe Legion left early, Satur
day morning, and after spending the whole
day and part of the night, in seeking a
good place, on the water for lauding, they
returned to Mr. Grimball’s place, Pine-
burg, and Sunday morning they crossed
over to Jeliossee, and thence to Edisto.
Having advanced but a short distance
they saw something approachiug, and se
creting themselves r>y the side of the road,
allowed what turned out to be a buggy,
with three occupants, to get opposite to
them, when they stepped out pistols iu
hand. The chief Yankee a Lieutenat-
Colonel, attempted to draw his pistol, but
was warned to desist aud to yield his wea
pon, the onK one possessed by the Yankee
trio—and it was soon surrendered. The
Yankees being then captured, the gallant
captors made their horse and buggy make
good speed down to Watts’ Cut, where
they met our Jeliossee pickets, who as
sisted in bringing the captives into our
camp. Had our men not met these Yan
kees so soon, they would have gone with
in the circle of the enemy’s pickets repor
ted by the prisoners to be in force, and
very littleJVeyond the place of capture.
The prisoners are tho Lieutenant-Colo
nel F. P. Bennett of the Fifty-fifth Regi
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, First
Lieutenant Kirby, of the Forty seventh
New York Volunteers, and a Down Eas
ter sentas a Government Agent to “col
lect cotton and other property,” as his
commission stated.— Charleston Courier.

Mississippi Ride—We paid the Rifle;
Manufactory ot Mr. J. P. Murray a visit
on Saturday, and was much gratified to
observe a degree of progress in manufac
turing the famous Mississippi Rifle, sur
passing our most sanguiue expectations.
Mr. Murray showed us some twenty
odd Rifles completed ready for use. They
are real serviceable looking guns, and we
hope soon to hear of, not companies alone,
but regiments and legions armed Murray’s
Rifle. The entire gun; lock, stock and
barrel, is of his manufacture, the stocks are
of black walnut thebarral highly polished
iro nand the mountings of brass* The various
machinery for making the locks were built

Teachers for the Port Royal Contra
bands.—The steamer Atlantic left New
York a few days since with a large cargo
of army stores aud about sixty passengers,
who accompany Mr. E. L. Pierce, the
Government agent in charge of the planta
tions and contrabands at Port Royal.
Three-fourths of the number ore men,
who are to he superintendents of the aban
doned estates, and will direct the labor of
the negroes, who are to be employed in
such agricultural pursuits as cotton culturfe
and raising vegatables for their own sup
port, and for the use of the army at that
point.
Twelve or fifteen of the passengers are
ladies, who will become teachers of an in
dustrial school which will be at once es
tablished ot Port Royal, under the superin
tendence of Rev. JR French of this city.
Mrs- Senator Ilarlan, of Iowa, is among
the ladies, and will assist in some depart
ment of the work.
About three thousand dollars worth of
agricultural implements, including plows,
hoes and others in most common use, have
been purchased by Mr. Pierce, and will be
taken to Port Royal in the Atlantic. He
takes also a quantity of seeds, including
one barrel contributed from the Patent
Office at Washington, as soon medicines
and other necessary articles.
The Virginia.—Commodore Tattnall
received orders on Saturday last to repair
forthwith to Norfolk and take command
of the battering ram Virginia. The
whole country will be rejoiced to hear it,
and look with confidence to the future op
erations of the wonderful machine. We
regret to lose his services at this post, but
for his and the country’s sake, we are
pleased to see him in a position where he
can lie available to the latter, aud sus
tain his well earned fame as a naval com
mander.
Commodore Tattnall leaves here this
morning for the theatre of bis future la
bors. He was accompanied by Capt. J.

Gallant Feat of Florida Cavalry.
Forty-Tiro Yankees Kitted.
Baldwin, March 23.—On the 22d instant a de
tachment of Capt. Owen’s Florida Cavalry, con
sisting of thirty men, killed forty-two Yankees,
who had landed front a gunboat at New Smyrna,
and mortally wounded two and took one prisoner
out of fifty-two that lauded. They also bung a
negro boy who had piloted the Yankees into
Smyrna.
The Yankees afterwards sent a flag of trace
ashore, asking permission to bnry tbeir dead,
which request Capt. Owens informed them he
would comply with, if they wonld send back seven
negroes which they had stolen. They readily ac-
ceeded to the terms proposed. The,negroes were
sentashore and the dead Yankees duly buried.
Nobody hurt on our side. The arms, Ac., at that
point are all safe. The Yankees will not get them.

On the 25th ult, in 'Whitfield County, by fie*.
Mr. Benedict. Lient. G. B. BeechKR of the Con
federate Army, and Miss Annie Horne of Vicks
burg.
Mbs Sarah M. Ward, wife of Major Benja
min F. Ward of Batts county, and the last survi
ving daughter of Col. Fleming Jordan of Monti-
cello, was born on the 30th day of November,
1812, and died at her residence on the 25th day
of 1- ebruary, 1862. In recording tbe death of tbia
worthy and estimable lady, much might he said
in praise of her virtues, that would make the com
munication too lengthy. We will not be tedions.
The life of Mrs. Ward was worthy tbe imitation
and example of the living. Possessed of intelli
gence. and great practical good sense, she managed
her household affairs with industry, energy, fru
gality and success As a wife and devoted com
panion, her bereaved husband’s great anguish at
the loss of bis wife, will best attest her worth to
him. As 3 moth“r to her children she was kind and
indulgent—none more so. As a daughter and sis
ter, she was esteemed and loved with all tbe ardor
cf true affection.
Mrs. Ward’s life as an actor in woman’s true
and proper circle, was highly laudable and com
mendable. As a neighbor she was all that could
be wished. As s Christian (being a member of tha
Baptist church) she was ever among the foremost
in letting her light so shine as to prove her faith
by her works. It is therefore not singular that
when summoned to leave all her earthly blessings,
she should have expressed the true Christian’s will-
inguess to meet her God. Should these lines meet
the eyes of distant relatives and friends to whom
she was known in life, may they drop tears of
joy that she died happy. B.
