Increased Emigration from Ireland to
America.—Tn the Cork Examiner we find
following item frwni a Killarney correspon
dent.
Within the limits of the county of Ker
ry the rush to America is very much on the
increase. On Wednesday morning the nine
o’clock train from Killarney conveyed a
larger number than 1 remember leaving
for a long time. The number of emigrants
and the scene witnessed at the station,
brought to the recollection of many the
departures during the memorable famine
years. The class of persons now leaving
this part of the country, seeking homes iti
the-new world, is composed not entirely
of farm servants, but of farmers, trades
men, laborers and house servants who can
not procure a decent living in the land of
their birth.

A few nights agoanegrocntcred the Quar

“Massa sent him and tole me to see him
shot up safe, and de key turned on him,”
“Well Sambo as you have brought him
safely so far—take him over to the jail and
see him locked up.” “Thank’e NIassa—
come along Yankee;” and he proudly
marched off his prisoner to the jail.

The Sick /torn the Yankee Army.—From
private sources as well as from the papers
of the North, we learn that there is an
immense deal of sickness in McClellan’s
army. It is so great, indeed, that the
North is alaimed at it.' The following
paragraph, from the Washington corres
pondence of a Northern paper shows that
the Yankee heart even has been touched
by the distressing and harrowing scene.
The hospitals^re everywhere crowded
with the sick and wounded of our own in
trepid soldiers. Ambulances are- slowly
driving from the wharves to the hospitals
filled with brave fellows whose emaciated
forms and sorrowing appearance, as they
arc seen reclining upon their hard couch
es', calls forth from every heart -ca
pable of feeling, a most intense anxiety
for their restoration to health, and a sin
cere prayer that soon the almighty (iod
will stretch his hand over the devasting
horrors of the battle field and proclaim
“peace and good will” throughout the
length and breadth of our unhappy land.
The U. S. Flog in the Revolution oflSOJ.—A late
number of the Christian Observer has an interest

of which we copy :

THE GRAVE.
In all our reading we have found
nothing to equal in eloquence and sim
plicity—in pathos, and elegance of dic
tion, Washington Irving’s description
of the Grave. If there is a man or
woman who is not made better by the
perusal of it. we envy not their hearts.
It will do to read again and again.
At this particular time, when so many
hearts are bleeding for the loved and
lost, it will be read with melancholy
pleasure. Cut it out reader aud put
it in your scrap hook.
[Eds. Fed. Union.
The sorrow for the dead is the only
sorrow from which we refuse to he di
vorced. Every other wound we seek
to heal—every other affliction to for
get ; hut this wound we consider it a
duty to keep open—this affliction we
cherish and brood over in solitude.
Where is the mother that would will
ingly forget the infant that perished
like a blossom- from Iter arms, though
every recollection is a pang ? Where
is the child that would willingly for
get the most tender of parents, though
to remember be but to lament? Who,
even in the hour of agony, would for
get the friend over whom he mourns?
Who, even when the tomb is closing
upon the remains of Iter he most
loved; when he feels his heart, as it
were, crushed in the closing of its
portal; would accept of consolation
that must be bought by forgetfulness?
No, the love which survives the tomb
is one of the noblest attributes of the
soul. If it lias its woes, it lias like
wise its delights ; and when the over
whelming burst of grief is calmed into
the gentle tear of recollection ; when
the sudden anguish and the con
vulsive agony over the present ruins
of all that we most loved, is softened
away into pensive meditation on all
that it was in the days of its loveli
ness—who would root out such a sor
row from the heaft? Though it may
sometimes throw a passing cloud over
the bright hour of gayety, or spread
a deeper sadness over the hour of
gloom, yet who would exchange it,
even for the song of pleasure, or the
burst of revelry? No, there is a voice
from the tomb sweeter than song.—
There is a remembrance of the dead
to which we turn even from the charms
of the living. Oh the.grave!—the
grave!—It buries every error—cov
ers every defect—extinguishes every
resentment! From its peaceful bosom
spring none but fond regrets and ten
der recollections. Who can look down
upon the grave even of an enemy,
ami not feel a compunctious throb,
that lie should ever have warred with
the poor handful of earth that lies
mouldering before him .’
But the grave of those we loved—
what a place for meditation ! There
it is that we call up in long review
the whole history of virtue and gen
tleness, and the thousand endearments
lavished upon us almost unheeded in
the daily intercourse of intimacy—
there it is that we dwell upon the
tenderness, the solemn, awful tender
ness of the parting scene. The bed of
death, with all its stifled griefs—its
noiseless attendance—its mute, watch
ful assiduities. The last testimonies
of expiring love ! The feeble, flutter
ing, thrilling—oh! how thrilling!—
pressure of the hand! The faint, fal
tering accents, struggling in death to
give one more assurance of affection !
The last fond look of the glazing eye,
turning upon us even from the thres
hold of existence!
Ay, go to the grave of buried love,
and meditate! There settle the ac
count with thy conscience for every
past benefit unrequited—every past
endearment unregarded, of that de
parted being, who can never—never
—never return to be soothed by thy
contrition!
If thou art a child, and hast ever
added a sorrow to the soul, or a fur
row to the silvered brow of an affec
tionate parent—if thou art a liusbaud,
and has£ ever caused the fond bosom
that ventured its whole happiness in
thy arms to doubt one moment of. thy
kindness or thy truth—if thou art a
friend, and hast ever wronged, in
thought, or word, or deed, the spirit
that generously confided in thee—
if thou art a lover, and hast ever given
one unmerited pang to that true heart
which now lies cold and still beneath
thy feet;—then be sure that every
unkind look, every ungracious word,
every ungentle action, will come
thronging back upon thy memory, and
knocking dolefully at thy soul—then
be sure that thou wilt lie down sor
rowing and repentant on the grave,
and utter the unheard groan, and pour
the unavailing tear ; more deep, more
bitter, because unheard and unavail
ing.
I Then weave thy chaplet of flowers,
| and strew the beauties of nature about
1 the grave; console thy broken spirit,
; if thou canst, with these tender, yet
! futile tributes of regret; but take
; warning by the bitterness of this thy
! contrite affliction over the dead, and
I henceforth be more faithful and affec-
1 tionate in the discharge of thy du
ties to the living.
"Acknowledging the Corn.”—The Yankee pa
pers confess that Hanks was thoroughly drumbbed,
routed and driven across the Potomac, by Stone-
,U Jackson. The Cincinnati Commercial says
the news of Bank's defeat caused a perfect riot in
Baltimore-Southern men proclaiming boldly their
1 principles.
The Lincolu-SIunlcrFfud—Trouble in the
Wigvtnm.
Lincoln lias got himself into trouble by-
repudiating and annulling Hunter’s famous
emancipation proclamation. Tbe radical
wing of tbe Republican party threaten to
bolt, and tbe Herald comes to Lincoln’s
rescue with an alacrity worthy of a bet
ter cause. In a laboured vindication of
him it says:
The last proclamation of President Lin
coln, we are sure, from the abundant evi
dence around us, and tbe testimony of our
new spaper exchanges, lias greatly strengb-
ened and extended tbe public confidence
of our loyal States in bis sagacity, patriot
ism and firmness of purpose as the Head of
tbe government aud tbe responsible com
mander-in-chief of our army and navy.
There can be no doubt tiiat tbe inspira
tion which produced tbe late preposterous
abolition manifesto from General Hunter
was drawn from Washington. We appre
hend, too, that Mr. Secretary Stanton
(falling into tbe serious abolition mistake
w hich was so fatal to Mr. Secretary Cam
eron as an aspiring politician) is largely ;
responsible for General Hunter’s sweeping
abolition edict. At all events, the Presi
dent’s revocation of this edict involves a
reprimand to all its contrivers; and, if
Mr. Stanton can be justly counted among
them, every consideration of propriety de
mands on his part an explanation to tbe
country.
The President, in every possible -way,
and by every possible device, lias been
embarrassed by tbe radical abolition “e-
mancipation or separation” faction, in or
der to inveigle him,drug him,or thrust him
into this destructive abolition programme
of a war of extermination against Southern
slavery at all hazards.
All this is thoroughly understood by
our wide-awake President ; and hence tbe
quiet and unobtrusive way in which be
has baffled all tbe schemes and movements
of our disunion .abolition radicals in tbe
Cabinet, in Congress, and in tbe army, to
change this war into a war for tbe extirpa
tion of Southern slavery. The important
ultimatum kept steadily in view by tbe
abolition radicals is tbe political power of
tbe country ; and, as they cannot secure
this power with the restoration of the old
Union, their object is simply to destroy
it: Mr. Senator Sumner, in bis notorious
scheme proposing to reduce our rebellious
States to tbe condition of territories—in
which condition their local institutions and
their Statp boundaries would be swept a-
way—has fairly indicated tbe wishes and
purposes of the disorganizing faction of
which be is an anointed apostle.
This faction of disorganizes are still de
voted to tbe Jacobin purpose of pushing
this war into an abolition crusade, because
they fully understand that, with tbe resto
ration of tbe revolted States as they were
in the Union, there is an end of tbe polit
ical power of abolitionism. Their game
is to defeat tbe restoration of the old
Union, to abolish slavery, to lay waste
tbe South by fire and sword, and to drive
this war into a regular Jacobin revolution,
to secure tbe political power of tbe country
and the enormous spoils and plunder of
the government resulting from this war es
tablishment. ’
Against these destructive designs; how
ever, tbe country feels secure with honest
Abraham Lincoln at tbe helm. In his ap
pointment of that sound conservative
Southern Union Democrat, Andrew John-
6011, as Provisional Governor ofTennessee,
and of that conservative Southern old line
Union Whig, Edward Stanly, as Provis
ional Governor of North Carolina, Presi
dent Lincoln cannot be misunderstood.
His object is to give every possible en
couragement and assurance to our revolt
ed States that in returning to tbe Union
they will return to its constutional land
marks of protection and safety.
The Herald, in its zeal, wages war up
on every one who dares to raise his voice
against Abraham Lincoln. It administers
the following rebuke to tbe Senator from
Iowa for daring to call into question tbe
infallibility of Lincoln :
In tbe debate yesterday in tbe United
States Senator Mr. Grimes said that, be
fore he proceeded to tax tbe people hea
vily, be wanted some policy of govern
ment settled, so that tbe people may
know it. “He, as tbe representative of a
sovweign State, wanted to know what the
policy of tbe government was going to
be.”
It is evident that this barbed and poi
soned arrow is directed against tbe Presi
dent for bis recent statesmanlike and pa
triotic proclamation. Another abolition
ist, Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, who, be
fore tbe civil war broke out, said in bis
place in tbe Senate that be was most anx
ious for a little blood-letting, now says
lie is opposed to tbe tax bill. It thus ap
pears that the delay and obstruction of the
tax bill are threatened by tbe radicals in
Congress in order to embarrass tbe gov
ernment and tbe operations of tbe war, in
consequence of tbe conservative course
adopted by tbe President in disavowing
tbe abolition proclamation of Hunter.
There is something more than even this
in the language of Senator Grimes. It
contains a ineanacc of secession, or nulli
fication, or something of that sort, on the
part of Iowa, if the Piesident will not suc
cumb to the desperate faction. r l be gov
ernment is reminded that Iowa is a “sov
ereign State”—tbe identical language used
by Southern traitors in Congress before
they left and set up a new government.
But if Senator Grimes and the radicals
proceed to carry out their threats, either
of obstructing tbe tax bill or nullifying it
after it becomes a law, thev will be pun
ished as they deserve. The people will
not stand their disloyalty to the Union
and tbe Constitution much longer. Let
them beware.
Tbe Herald, also pitches into its old
friend, Dr. Oheever, for “denouncing tbe
President.” It is in favour of muzzling
tbe lleverened Parson on tbe same princi
ple of a mad dog. In noticing tbe Par
son’s sermon, in which be bad taken it
upon himself to censure Mr. Lincoln, tbe
Herald says :
Rev. Dr. Cheever on Sundqy evening
denounced tbe President for bis proclama
tion disavowing the abolition proclamation
of Gen. Hunter emancipating tbe negro
slaves of South Carolina, Georgia, and
Florida. He said, if the President inter
posed in tbe matter, it would be “madness
and wickedness concentrated-” Again be
says: “If be now hastens to disavow and
forbid this graud, righteous, and benevo
lent action against slavery, it will be an
insnlt to tbe country, a disgrace to him
self and to tbe government, a crime against
humanity and God.”
Tbe President has nobly hastened to
disavow and forbid the action of General
Hunter, and'therefore, according to Rev.
Dr Cheever, be has insuited the country,
disgraced himself and tbe government,
and committed a crime against humanity
and God. He concludes by praying God
in mercy to protect the country from such
madmen and sueh guilt. Perhaps tbe rad
ical abolitionists, who have received such
a blow between tbe eyes by tbe bard fist
of Honest Abe Lincoln, will now begin
to think of carrying out their original idea
of “superseding” him in favor of some usur
per, as proposed about a year ago. In tbe
editorial columns of tbe New York Times.
Meantime, would it not be well to commit
to safe keeping such propagators of sedition
as this Cheever, whom humanity forbids

same principle that it directs dogs in tbe

A Foreign Opinion.
We have been favored, says tbe Augus
ta Chronicle, with tbe perusal of a Cana
dian paper, (the Montreal Commercial Ad
vertiser,) front which we extract the fol
lowing editorial upon the infamous order
of Butler relative to tbe ladies of New Or
leans. As demonstrating tbe opinion of
an outsider, who may be presumed to be
unprejudiced, tbe article is valuable. 11
such indignant sentiments arc aroused in
observers having no personal concern iu
tbe matter, bow burning should be the in
dignation of those subject to tbe insults
and obscenity of tbe tyrant. After cop
ying tbe order of Butler, tbe Advertiser
proceeds :
We published tbe above infamous order
of General Butler’s a few days ago and re
peat it now. because it is proved to be au
thentic- When it first appeared, it was
denounced by tbe Federal press as an in
vention of Beauregard’s to “lire tbe South
ern heart,” and long columns of abuse
were vented on tbe Confederal General for
tbe wickedness of attributing such an a-
trocious document to a Union, commander.
It was truly said that such an order would
virtually give official sanction and instiga
tion to tlie violation of the women of New
Orleans, for no other interpretation could
be placed on tbe command to treat them
as “women of tbe town plying their'avo-
cation.”
We never bad any doubt of tbe authen
ticity of the order; it was characteristical
ly northern in tbe vileness of its coward
ice, its licentiousness, brutality and utter
infamy. We ba'-e seen in Washington
ladies committed to tbe common goal for
tbe crime of lifting a handkerchief to their
lips ; in St. Louis a whole family was im
prisoned because a young lady being in
the same bouse waved her handkerchief
to a passing.prisAJMtK; wehave seen North
ern journals boosting that a Federal gen
eral threatened with an oath to quarter a
soldier cohered with the small pox upon a
ffidy^-at Nashville who sneered at bis
troops; we know that tbe march of Banks’
army up the Shenandoah, of McClellan’s
tip tbe Peninsula, and of McDowell’s to
Fredericksburg, were accompanied by all
the horrors ot war in tbe middle ages,
plunder, universal destruction of property,
tbe violation of women and the murder of
of their husbands, trothers and fathers
who sought to protect them from a fate
worse than death. General Butler lias
only publicly avowed bis intention to en
courage that which other Northern Gener
als have allowed. Tbe Federal command-
ders have improved on Russian and Aus
trian tyranny and brutality, they wielded
only tbe knout and tbe stick, scoring tbe
backs of women. Butler is greater in his
way than Ilainault; be has found a deep
er degradation to which women can be
subjected than blows , henceforth, among
their other boasts tbe Federals can claim
that they have committed tbe most infa
mous outrage of modern times, and can
point to the commander of tbe Union
troops at New Orleans as tbe most cow
ardly, licentious and despicable villian that
tbe world has ever seen.
Can any one wonder that tbe Southern
troops fight with desperation, and are be
trayed into acts of vindictive retaliation ?
and that tbe whole population rises upon
them when defeated, and slays them as
they would a pack of wolves.
Northern Virginia has felt tbe tender
mercies of the Union Generals and troops
as Spain felt those of its French invaders,
and its revenge was the same. New Or
leans will yet take a frightful vengeance
for its wrongs; and the North will have
bitter cause to repent tbe licentiousness
of its hireling soldiers, and tbe pusilani-
mous wickedness of its leaders !
There was no Union sentiment in tbe
Crescent City before its occupation ; is it
likely there is any now 1 Will tbe people
love tbe Federal Government better, or
bate its troops'less because of their wo
men are threatened to be given up to tbe
licentiousness of tbe scum of Northden
cities ?
Is it by such means that tbe Union and
Constitution are to be restored ; peace is
to give place to war, love to hatred, respect
to contempt ? .
General Butler’s order will unite 4he
whole Southern people still more closely
in their determiniation to resist their in
vaders to tbe bitter end ; it will confirm
the doubting, strenghten tbe determined,
fill tbe ranks of tbe Confederate armies
with new soldiers, and arm them with a
double strength.
It has destroyed at one blow tbe whole
Federal successes of tbe campaign, by
teaching tbe people tbe true character of
their invaders,<ind what they have to ex
pect from their domination. If in tbe
coming battles tbe Confederate troops do
not treat their opponents as noisome rep
tiles, which are conquered only when de
stroyed, they must be something more or
less than men. In the armies at Rich
mond and Corinth there are thousands of
soldiers who have left daughters, wives,
sisters and lovers in New Orleans, liable
at any moment to be treated as “women
of tbe town plying thvir avocation ;” this
knowledge will nerve their arms, and
double-edge their steel, and should make
theta invincible against the Northern
hordes, however much they may outnum
ber them in men and surpass them in ma-
erial.
From the Lynchburg Republican.
The Battle of Port Republic.
This battle was fought on Jlonday tbe
9th June, in Rockingham county, near the
village of Port Republic, situated just be
low the junction of the two streams which
make tbe Shenandoah river. On tbe day-
before our forces, about 10,000, led by
Gen. Jackson, bad engaged tbe enemy at
Dunker’s Churcb> under Fremont, num
bering 30,000, and routed them with groat
loss in killed and wounded, and a iarge
number of prisoners.—On Monday morn
ing, about sunrise our forces crossed the
bridge at tbe junction of the two streams to
attack the enemy, nnmboring about 12,-
000 under Gen. Shields. Tbe river here
makes a bend or crescent form circling
round a large piece of low ground on which
there was a heavy crop of wheat. Near
ly opposite tbe bridge and on tbe other side
of this field, the enemy were drawn up in
line of battle, and in their front on a small
bill, at tbe foot of Cole mountain, com
manding the whole position, was tbe cere
brated Clark battery, (consisting of 8
splendid guns, 2 parrot, 2 mountain howit
zers, and 4 rifle pieces,^ manned by the
artillery corps, under command of
Clark. From this battery was belched
forth one incessant storm of grape, canis
ter and shell, literally covering tbe Val
ley, so that the work of attack on our part
seemed almost hopeless.
Jackson, Ewell, and Taylor were all
there, and their forces eager for the encoun
ter. But it seemed rash and even desner-
to attempt it. Gen. J! looked for a while
thoughtfully on the scene, and then turn
ing to Taylor enquired, “Can you take
that battery?—it must be taken, or tbe
day be lost.” Taylor replied,, “we can,”
and pointing bis sword to tbe battery, call
ed out to bis men, “Louisianians, can you
take that battery?” With one universal
shout that made tbe mountains to echo,
they declared they could; whereupon, be
gave tbe order in that sonorous voice, “for
ward, charge tbe battery and take it.” On
ward dashed tbe Louisiana brigade (com
posed of tbe, titb, 7 tii, 8th and 9th Louis
iana regiment, and tbe Tiger battallion
assisted by one Virginia regiment,) across
tbe low grounds right after tbe battery.
From its mouth now with renewed violence
poured streams of shell and shot, mowing
down our men like grass. Tbe earth
seemed covered v. tth the dead and woun
ded.
Tbe gallant (’«.!. Henry Hays, com
manding the 9‘ L t.ixilsiana regiment, was
badly wounded. Iiis Lieut. Col. De
Cboine, was shot through tbe lungs, and
after again And again endeavoring to hold
bis place on the field was borne off almost
insensible. This regiment, one of whose
companies was led by Capt. D. A. Wilson,
of our town, carried into the fight but three
hundred and eight effective men, tbe rest
being sick or detailed on other service, of
whom one hundred and fifty-eight were
killed or wounded, Onward they rushed
sustained by tbe 6th, Stb, 9th, tbe tigers
under Bob Wheat, andthe Virginia regi
ment, all doing their duty like heroes.
They date t/ie battery. Volumes on vol
umes of shot, continue to salute their ad
vance—but they do advance. They
strike their bayonets and sabres into tbe
aitillerists as they serve the guns, they
kill the horses, they seize tbe guns, they
take the battery, and tbe victory is accom
plished. Proud day and proud honor this
for those who did this gallant deed! Jack-
son, Ewell and Taylor were present cheer
ing on tbe fight. Every officer, nay ev
ery man did bis duty, the enemy flying in
dismay, having no time to spike tbeir guns
and our men seize and direct their fire
against themselves. This was oue of the
most glorious battles of this war, and one
of tbe bloodiest.
We lost in killed and wounded betweeu
500 and 700 men. Tbe enemy’s, besides
their guns, stores, and prisoners, must have
been three or four times that number.
When tbe bloody scene was over, a mo
ment is spent in thankfulness to God; and
another in silent rejoicing at tbe result.
Gen. Jackson now publicly thanked Tay
lor and the Louisiana brigade for the day’s
work.—“Take that battery,” said Jack-
son to Taylor, “and keep it for your men
have won it,—carry it to your native when
you return, and call it the Louisiana bat
tery, and let it be kept as a memento of
this day.” —
Gracefully acknowledging tbe compli
ment, General Taylor took six of the
guns, (two could not be carried) and pla
cing them under the care of Capt. Thom
as M. Bowyer, of Liberty, who bad nobly
participated in tbe fight they were forth
with sent to Mechara’s Depot, in tbe coun
ty of Albemarle where, under that officer
they are now being fitted for service on
our side.
This narration comes from an eye-wit
ness and actor in the battle, Capt. Dan
iel A. Wilson, of our own town and it af
fords its great pleasure to place it before
our readers.
All honor to tbe noble Generals who led
ibis battle and their officers and men and
special honor to our loved sister Louisiana?
Th.ere is something indeed ennobling in
tbe union of tbe sons of tbe border States
of tbe Confederacy, North and South, on
a common field of danger and glory. Let
it continue to grow till tbe war is ended,
our independence established, each State
made strong in all tbe elements of nation
al greatness and our common government
established ou tbe basis of true constitu
tional freedom. Then we shall stand
among tbe powcis of the earth as a nation
of men—aye, <>t gentlemen—each State
a great power i.i it-elf, and the Confeder-
cy (what the old Union was intended to
be)—a bond of mutual interest and frater
nal Jove.
Public Mrniimeut in Western Virginia.
The Linchburg Republican, of yesterday
seys:
A gentleman from Lewisburg informs us
that Co!. Crooks, the Yankee Military
Governor of tbe town, ordered an election
for town officers, and summoned the peo
ple to meet him at tbe Court House. Up
on tbeir assembling, be addressed them in
a speech, telling them -the folly of their
rebellion against tbe “most humane and
benignant government in the world,” and
advising them to take the oath of allegi
ance, and again to be received under the
protection of tbe Stars and Stripes; bat
his words fell as if they struck tbe ”d«U.
cold earth of dentil,” no one responding to
his pathetic appeal. After be concluded,
Samuel Price, Esq., an old and prominent
lawyer of Greenbriei, arose and commen
ced addressing the crowd. He told them
that Virginia had seceded from the old
Union and united her destiny with another
government, and he regarded her course as
legal and just. He bad gotton thus far in
his address when be was arrested and star
ted immediately for Camp Chase, in Ohio,
but was released on parole, and permitted
to return, after a day’s journey. On the
next day after bis return, tbe polls wore
open, but not a single vote was cast. Up
to this time not one citizen of tbe town
has taken the oath of allegiance to tlie
Yankee government nor is there any like
lihood of any doing so.
Tbe gentleman further informed us that
a large number of the Union citizens of
Nicholas and the adjoining counties were
leaving for Ohio and other parts North,
being satisfied that the schemes of subjuga
tion by Abe Lincoln wonld not succeed,
and they were taking time by tbe forelock
and gettign out of tbe way—being convin
ced that the Southern Confederacy^ would
then be no place for them.
Tbe enemy are not in Lewisburg, hav
ing fallen back to Meadow Bluff last week."
Tbeir scouts, however, freequcntly come
to tbe town.
Saldicn’ Clothing for the Winter Cnot-
pnign.
As we look, for no relaxation of the
blockade or cessation of tbe war until the
Yankses shall be taught the impossibility
of conquest, we ask tbe attention of the
Government to tbe important subject of
clothing tbe soldiers next winter. There
is a great deal of wool in tbe country, and
a large crop of flax will no doubt, be grown
in many parts of Virginia North Carolina
and Tennessee ; but cotton warp consti
tutes tbe basis of all our textile fabrics.—
How can tbe people obtain this dispensable
article. Tbe coarse yarn spun by ma
chinery is scarce and very costly ; and,
though we see tbe cotton burned in tbe
face of tbe invader, raw cotton cannot be
obtained in many portions of the interior
at any price.
There is a mechanical diflicu^Y’ al 80
which has impeded domestic manufac
ture Hand-cards cannot be had at any
price.
While our soidiers are in the field, there
are at home thousands of patriotic mothers
and sisters, willing to toil in any way, and
under any disadvantage for those who
defend them. But, in man)’ cases, these
patriotic women have neither material nor
machinery to manufacture the clothing and
blankets their friends require.
We may anticipate a similar difficulty
in regard to shoes and boots, though there
will be, we^suppose, leather enough to
produce a w* ter supply of so indispensa
ble an article.
Now what can our Government do to
provide for the winter wants of our army?
We answer, let it appoint commissioners of
manufactures within tbe sections of coun
try prepared to conduct the operations re
ferred to, and assignto them as many skill
ed artizans, detailed under authority of
the Act of Congress, as may be necessary
to give effect to tbe object of army sup-
piy-
In tbe meantime the Government shouid
purchase and distribute, at low prices,
quantities of raw cotton, and if possible
wool, so as to employ tbe industrious poor,
who have tbe will to work, without tbe
means to work. These measures will-
cause domestic manufactures which still
linger in upper Virginia, Carolina and
Tennessee, to riveve and furnish important
aid of tbe cause.
This plan, with tbe manufacture and
distribution of hand cards; wil meet the
emergency ; for though tbe goods thus
made may not be so good as we would
wish, they will be infinitely better than
rags.
We are aware that tbe Confederate
Government cannot so well conduct enter
prises of the description referred to as the
States, and "it would perhaps be well if the
Confederate Government should confer
with the State authorities, and employ
tlieir agencies in carying out the details of
the plan, bearing of course tbe expense
which may attend it. It may derive
advantage from consulting the 1st and 2d
Auditors of Virginia, who are required by
adate Act of Assembly to inquire into tbe
condition of'manufactures of Virginia, and
who will give patriotic and useful assis
tance in tbe object proposed.
If the government will organize a Bureau
for the general purpose of developing the
materials of war, and clothing for the
troops, a little systematic attention will do
wonders. The industry, tbe will, and
tbe materials for tbe work exist, nothing
but superintendence and instruction is re
quired to make them effectual. When the
next winter comes let not complaints and
reproaches come up from our unclad sol
diers. Let not our ranks be weakened
and our hospitals filled with tbe victims of
nakedness,—but let there be timely atten
tion, by the authorities of tbe Confederate
State governments.
We may thus guard against tbe possibil
ity of disappointment in tbe vital depart
ment of military supply.—Richmond Whig.
