He complains that no work can begot out of them, and that ’to feed twenty-five thousand of them now- in possession of the Yankees, costs their Gov ernment about ten thousand dollars a day. There is also difficulty among the mission aries at Port Royal. They don’t make spricfnotoi^ progress'll! the work of en lightening the contrabands, and some of tho old spinisters that have been sent out from Boston for that purpose, express themselves very much disgusted at the conduct of the officers and soldiers, and the treatment they receive from them. —Miss Jerusha Petty hone despairs of ev er elevating the moral or intellectual char acter of the little niggerlings, and is hor ribly shocked at the immodesty of her col ored sisters.

By persons arriving on the Charleston road we learn that on Thursday last, at the train from this city was going east, when near Huntsville, the fireman called the attention of the engineer to some of the finest equipped cavalry he had ever seen. The engineer at once doubted their being our toops; the doubt was converted into a certainty, on the receipt, of a volley from the troops, which proved to he Lin coln cavalry. The train was seized. The mail agent threw some of the mail matter out of one window, and leaving the car, joined with the passengers and esca ped capture, Passengers out of military dress were suffered to go tree. Messrs Bell and Symmes, messengers of Adam’s Express, where taken prisoners. One of them had on the uniform of a Georgia company. We learn also that all per sons found in uniform in Nashville, xvere seized. It is stated that twenty-two engines fell into the Federals’ hands, hut this appears to us an exageration. On one part of the road some of the Federal soldiers seized an engine and made off with it; they were eight fn number. They did not know how to run the engine, and were pur sued by some of our people in another en gine. When they found they were tube over taken they ran off into the woods, but four of them xvere caught and captured.— This party had burned a bridge six miles beyond Stevenson, which place is stated to be in the hands of the Federals. The men captured beleng to the lTth Illinois.— They had a flat car in front of the locomo tive, on which they had mounted a can non. The force of the Federals is stated to he thirteen thousand. The truth of the rumors about the re-capture of Hunts ville by our people is deuied by arrival of the train this morming. A Beautiful Incident. We learn from the Nexvs, that as some of the Confederate troops were marching through Fredericksburg, xvith bristling ayoncts and rumbling artillery, a fair fonlSundTe’d * u{ y appeared^ the steps of a dark scribed in the brown nfilhAuiJ^ier arms filled xvitli Tes- ** . taments xvhtcli with gracious kindness and gentle courtesy, she distributed to the passing soldiers. The eagerness with xvhich they xvere received, the pressing throng, the outstretched hands, till earn est thanks, the unspoken blessings upon the giver, thus dispensing the word of Life to the armed multitude to whom death might come at any moment—-all made up a picture, as. beautiful as any that ex-er shone out amid the dark reali ties of war. As- a rough Texan said, “If it xvas not for the ladies, God bless them, there xvould he no use of fighting this war.

Its extensive cultivation is necessary for the preserx’a- tion of the health of our soldiers. The To mato seems to have a direct and peculiar action on the liver, producing all the bene ficial effects of mercural preparations, without any of the injuries. It is said that the great success of the celebrated Spanish Bitters of Dr. Zavia is owing to its principal ingredient being the active principle of this plant. In confirmation of its x-alue. xve have heard one of the most distinguished physicians remark that whenever he felt unwell in the spring of the- year, he knew that it arose from torpor of his liver, and he invariably rc- liex'ed himself by partaking of this vege table at his dinner. We trust that our troops xvill he freely suppliedxvith it as it is both hygeuic and nourishing.— Charleston Cout ier. The Printers.—Tbe Mobile Register & Advertiser office xvas well represented at Sbiloah—there being one printer killed and three xvoundedfrom that office. Ca:sar.—"Julius Ctesar was not more eminent for his valor in overcoming bis enemies, than for his humane efforts in reconciling and attaching them to his do minion. In the battle of Pharsalia he rode to and fro, calling vehemently out, “Sparc, spare tho citizens !” Nor were nny killed, but such as obstinatoly refused to*accept of life. Alter the battle, he gave every man on his own side leave to save any of the opposite from the list of proscription ; aud at no long time after, issued an edict, permitting all whom he had not yet pardoned, to return in peace to Italy, to enjoy their estates andJionors. It xvas a common saying of Ctesar, that no music was so charming to his ears, as the requests of his friends and supplications of those in want of his assistance.”' Misfortunes.—“When great men suffer themselves to be subdued by the length of their misfortunes, they discover that the strength of tlicir ambition, not of their understanding xvas that which supported him. They discox’ered too that, allowing for a little vanity heroes are just like other men.” “The constancy of the xvise is only the art of keeping their disquietudes to them selves.” Ignorance and Error.—At is almost as difficult to make a man unlearn his errors, as his knowledge. Malinformation is more hopeless than non-information ; for error is always more busy than ignorance. Ig norance is a blank sheet, on xvhich we may Write ; but error is a scribbled one, from which we must first erase. Ignorance is contented to stand still with her back to the truth; but error is more presumptuous, and proceeds in the same direction, Igno rance has no light, blit error folloxvs a false one. The consequence is, that error, -xvheu she retraces her footsteps, has far ther to go. before she cgn arrive at the truth than ignorance.” Printer in the Army.—It is worthy of notice, that the ranks of our brave soldiers are made up largely of ju-inters- Take the RichmondHussars. Company B, as an example—there arecen typos in this corps; and we have no doubt there is hardly a company in service but what, will show upon its muster roll a fair proportion of the “craft.” The folloxvers of Faust are proverbially patriotic and intelligent. Chronical and Sentinel. Correct Speaking “We advise all young people to acquire in early life the habit of good language, both in speaking and xvriting, and to aban don as early as possible, any use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live, the more difficult the acquisition of such language will be; and if the golden age of youth, vV>e proper season for the acquisi tion of language, be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate vlcMm of neglected educa tion is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Money is not necessary to pro cure this education. Every man kas it in his power. He has merely to use the lan guage which he reads, instead of the slang xvhich he hears—to form his taste from the best speakers and poets of the country —to treasure up choice phrases inh s mem ory, aud to habituate himself to their use —avoiding, at the same time, that pe dantic precision xvhich shows rather the xveakness of a vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind.” Not Verv Hopeful. The Louisville Jurnalof a late date is somewhat despondent. It thinks the “reconstruction of the Union” a “most delicate and difficult undertaking.” Read the folloxving: It is impossible to say what kind of Union the irresistible power of arms might establish and for a brief period maintain, but any supposition that the thirty four States which constitute, or have constitut ed, this republic can be bound permanent ly together as a republic upon the princi ples and on the conditions insisted on by such politicans as the Senators in Congress from Massachusetts, is an absurdity that only fools and fanatics could possibly cher ish. Then follows this frank confession. If every Southern rebel xvere disarmed to-morrow, the reconstruction of the Union xvould. be a most delicate and difficult un dertaking. Difference of views even a- mong conservative men xvould be enough to render it so. And probably at this very moment even greater danger menaces the restoration policy from the action of the radicals than from the armed legions of rebelion. The Journal thinks “the worst trial is yet in store for” Abraham Lincoln. No Peach Brandy.—By the letter we publish below, it xviil ho seen that Gov. Brown is down on Peach Brandy, as wdil as on other kinds of liquors. Executive Department, ) Milledgevillc, April 14th, 1S62. j B. C. Gresham, Esq , Sir:—In reply to your letter of the 8th inst., I am instructed by the Gox’ernor to say that the distilling of peaches into bran dy xvill not be alloxved in this Slate the present year. If the former Proclamation did not reach this subject, a future one will. I xvrite this in tho absence of the Governor, but this is the decision I am sure he has come to. Very respectfully., H. H. Waters, Sec. Ex. Dep’t. The Grain Crops in the Up Country. We are glad to learn from a gentlenan who has had opportunities for extensive observasion. says the Cliarlston Mercury, that an unusual quantity of wheat was sown in the upper part of tho State, that many suppose the crop will be twice as large as last years’s which was very fine. Yankee Counterfeiting.—Mr. Wash Goodrich, detective of the Treasury De partment, has just exhibited to us one of the last and grossest piecqs of Yankee scoundrelism, and the infernal means re sorted to discredit the currency of the Southern Confederacy. . It consists in a xvell executed counterfeit of our five dol lar Confederate notes, which he is inform ed, xvas struck off in Philadelphia, where the news-boys are selling them at five cents a piece. This note is well calcula ted to deceive, and in nearly every parti cular is &fac simile of the original. The engraxdng is somewhat coaser than our own, but in other respects there is little difference. In the genuine, on the back ground of the word “five” the words “five dollars” are iu very fine print and almost innumerable; in the counterfeit these are omitted. We caution persons receiving this money to be exceedingly careful, as there is no means of knowing to what ex tent they have been circulated. A little care will prevent imposition.—Richmond Dispatch. Gen. McClellan had a sister (Mrs. Eng lish) living in Alabama, the*wife of a wealthy planter. Young English, aneph- exx- of McClellan, has gone up to Corinth, the Mobile papers say, to fight for the South. Tho election in the Northwest are resul ting in heavy democratic or anti-xvar victo ries. Springfield, III., Lincoln’s own town, has gone against him. The Lincoln Government has purchased the captured Confederate steamer Magno lia for $50,000. Bless the Girl.—Miss Narcisse Sanders is the step-daughter of Hon. A. V. Brown, xvho left a princely residence in the beauti ful hills, wliich encircles Nashville. She is young, beautiful, and was a noted belle at the Capitol at Washington.—The Fed eral commander, having knoxvn her for merly, upon taking possession of the city, called to pay his respects, aud sent up his card from the door. Her reply was; “Tell him to please excuse me. 1 am in mourning for my country, and can seo no one.” The Yankee war tax don’t appear to .meet xvith much favor, even in Delaxvaro. The Yankee forces xvere lately withdrawn from the Eastern shore of Maryland, to go into Dclexx'are in order to put down a war tax rebellion in that State —A gentleman on the Eastern shore, who is not consider ed wealthy, is assessed with a war tax of $1,500, possibly more than one-half of his rex enue. With this prospect staring us in the face, what should the South not do and suffer to ax'ert subjugation. A Deserter Shot.—Wm. Roxvland, a pri vate in Capt. Fowler’s 54th Tennessee volunteers, xvho deserted and was captur ed on the Shiloh battle field cf the 6th in the enemy’s ranks and clothed in the Fed eral uniform was subsequently shot in presence of all the Tennessee regiments.
