A Conquered South—Designs of our Ene
lilies.
A clergyman, the captain of a company
at the battle of Manassas, who fought gal
lantly and whose son fell by his side, in a
letter dated at Jackson, Miss., March 6th.
to the Raleigh Church Intelligencer, gives
the following picture of the design of the
enemy in the event of the subjugation of
the South :
I have clearly foreseen from the begin
ning of this strife the design of our ene
mies. I fear too many of our citizens do
not understand the ultimate aim of their
policy. They are determined to make
these States, Territories of the Union.—
The lands of our citizens will be confisca
ted, and made the property of the Govern
ment. Union men will, perhaps, be per
mitted to occupy a portion of their own
lands as pre-emptioners. The slaves will
be declared Iree, but they will not be lib
erated for many years ; but be worked by
government agents upon government lands
and the proceeds of their labor will belong to
the government. All shops and manufacto
ries whatever can make an axe, a shoe or a
thread—whatever will compete with North
ern manufactories will be utterly destroy
ed. The good Union men of the South
will be made as absolutely dependent
upon the North as the Isrelites were upon
their Philistine masters when they were
compelled to go to Gaza and Ashdod to
have their hoes and axes sharpened. Like
the poor Israelites they will not be per
mitted to make nor to own any weapon of
war for self defence. Northern soldiers
will be garrisoned in every town and
neighborhood to keep the slaves and their
loyal masters quiet. The whole South
will bo worked as a sugar and cotton mine
to enrich the North , and only so much
will bo produced as the North can monop
olize.
Ultimately the superfluous slaves will
be shipped to Africa, the Isthmus, or else
where ; and their places supplied with
w hite slaves of Dutch or Irish descent:
whose cultivation of cotton will be called
“free labor,” and thus the “new South”
will be established. But before this can
be effected, a first 6tep must be taken, af
ter every Southern city shall have follow
ed the humiliating example of Nashville,
in which no Jackson was martyred in de
fending his country’s flag. Until the subjn-
gat ion is complete, this Abaddon will con
ceal his policy. Property will be respected
as it was at Edenton, and Florence. The
cat will purr to lull the mouse. 'I he ser
pent will conceal his fangs, and display his
glittering spots to charm his prey. Cow
ardly and selfish fools, will be deceived
and bought with “coffee at ten cents pet-
pound,” and sell their liberty for Yankee
gold. Then the first bold step will be
taken to establish the “new South ;” and
that will be, to give to every man who Las
voted, or spoken, or fought for the Confed
eracy, or held any office under it’s author
ity, the choice of death or exile. The few
who are pardoned, with all the wives,
daughters, and children of “rebels,” will
be turned out of doors ; to live as gipsey-
iug beggars, or to 6tarve.
Such is the 6atanic design of Seward
and Lincoln, his “cat’s paw,” aud their
Government; as it is clearly indicated by
alltbeir acts, and openly avowed.
Let your readers understand it, and if
one drop of patriot blood flows in the veins
of the weakest and most timid of them all,
he surely will excuse me, a minister of the
Gospel, for unsheathing my sword and de-
claring solemnly before the throne, of God,
whose I am and whom I serve, that I nev
er will return it to the scabbard until my
country is saved from its threatened doom.
I fervently pray that I may live to gath-
C.npniii.1, .f Cnu.ra—Tke Difficult? mad
Remedy.
Since the ladies of the city, have patri
otically stripped their houses of brass or
naments and useful articles of the same
metal for casting cannon, it may be well
enough to state that such material on ac
count of its softness, is unfit for the pur
pose, and is so pronounced by a gentle
man connected with the ordnance depart
ment of the Columbus Iron YYorks. He
states however, that the difficulty can be
remedied by making up in size what the
gun lacks in strength.
A disadvantage we labor under is the
want of block tin, the ordinary domestic
tin being of no value whatever, in the
composition of cannon, which are made of
copper and tin. There is no lack of cop
per, any quantity of which may be obtain
ed at the DucktoWn Mines, Tennessee,
and other localities, whereas the block tin
is very scarce. YYe are informed that the
deficiency of the latter mpy bo supplied
by bell-metal, which is a mixture of cop
per and tin, and can be combined with
copper in such proportions as will form a
good amalgam for moulding into cannon.
It seems then that the dear old Church
bells which have been consecrated to God,
and whose mellow tones have so often sum
moned us to His house and l-ecalled sad
and pleasant associations of years gone by,
must be surrendered and devoted to the
achievement of our liberty and independ
ence. It is the dernier resort, but will
prove to our enemies and the world, the
sincerity and unconquerable spirit of the
South, and that her people are “terribly
in earnest-”
YVith a sufficiency of bell-metal con
stantly on hand, the Columbus Iron
YVorkshave facilities for turning out six
cannon per week. We hope it will be
supplied at once.—Sun.
Yankee Traders in Nashville.—YVe learn
that large stocks of goods were sent to
Nashville by northern merchants, who
want to do a little trading while the army
does tho fighting. A telegram in the St.
Louis Republican from Cairo, March 14th
says:
The G. YV. Graham has just arrived
from Nashville. Everything is quiet
there.
Tho traders that went there are disappoint
ed, as the citizens have nothing but Ten
nessee and Georgia money to ‘buy goods
with, which they of course refuse to take.
A dispatch to ihe associated presf,
North, of the same date, says:
The steamer Graham returned this after
noon from Nashville. Y'ery few, if any,
of the St, Louis merchants who went on
her to Nashville, were satisfied with the
result. Some of them sold their goods
at a sacrifice, so as to return on the same
boat, while others unwillingly remained,
in order, if possible, to effect sales at better
prices. Specie and bills of the banks in
loyal States are scarce, but nearly every
shopkeeper is getting daily an amount of
United States Treasury notes, which
they are already eager to secure. Anx
ious inquiries were made for cotton, tur
pentine, rosin, etc,, for which specie
would have been given, but nothing of the
kind could be had, except about two hun
dred bales of cotton, which a resident of
Nashville shipped on his own account per
steamer Madison. Southern bank bills,
especially those of Tennessee, were abun
dant, but the people of Nashville are being
rapidly convinced of the worthlessness of
thatpaper.
Some of the merchants have ordered
goods from Loaisville, Cincinnati, and
probobly other cities. The steamer Gra
ham brought back a portion of the goods
she took in Nashville. She left the La
crosse at Paducah, bound to Nashville.
The Adriatic, the first arrival at Nashville
with goods from St. Louis, is due on her
return trip, and is probably bringing back
a portion of her cargo.
“I he currency is not the only or even
the chief difficulty encountered by the
“traders.” Our information is, that the
peeple of Nashville roundly refused to buy
the wares of their would-he masters and
that maay of the goods had been resbipped
to the North.
The people of the United States will
discover some of these days, that the

An Incident in Cincinnatti.—The abo
litionists in Cincinnati desecrated the 22d
of February by what they called a cele
bration and illumination. Mrs. Dickerson,
(a true Southern woman notwithstanding
she is the wife of Capt. Dickerson a Quar
termaster in the Federal army,) which
was boarding at the Burnett House, decli
ned, in the absence of her husband, to per
mit the windows in her room to be illumin
ated. For this she was denounced as a
.“secesher” and grossly insulted by Mr.
Johnson, a clerk of the house and Mr.
Barbour a boarder. Indignant at thisinfa-
moHs aud nnmauly treatment: Mrs. Dick
erson immediately left the Burnett House
and sought the protection of a friend who
resided near the city. YVhen Capt Dick
erson returned and was made acquainted
with the circumstances, he inflicted sum
mary chastisement on both Johnson and
Barbour, damaging the frontspiece of the
latter individual quite seriously, and
bunging both of his peepers in the most
artistic style. For this he was brought
before the police court, and pleading guil
ty, he was fined $25 for assault and bat-
terj', which he cheerfully paid.
Gen. Grant and his staff visited Nash
ville, and called upon Mrs. James K. Polk,
Of the interview a Yankee writer says :—
She received her visitors courteously, but
with a polished coldness that indicated
sufficiently in which direction her sympa
thies ran—she was simply polite and la
dylike; in no case patriotic. YVhile she
discreetly forebore to give utterance to any
expression of sympathy for the South, 6he
as rigidly avoided saying anything that
might be construed into a wish forthe suc
cess of the government. She hoped, she
said, that the tomb of her husband would
protect her household from insult and her
property from pillage; further than this she
expected nothing from the United States
and desired nothing.
Female Purity.—All the influence which
women enjoy in society—their right to the
exercise of that material care which forms
the first and most indelible species of edu
cation: the wholesale restraint which they
posess over the possions of making; their
power of protecting ns when young, and
cheering us when old, depend so entirely
on their personal purity, and the charm
which it casts around them, that to insinu
ate a doubt of its real value is willfully to
remove the broadest corner stone on which
civil society rests, with all its comforts.
