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. IIow the “ Contrabands” treat the Hoodies.” A few nights agoanegrocntcred the Quar termaster’s office in Staunton, tipped his wool and said “Man’s’ Arman—here a prisoner.” “Where did you get him?” “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 ing article under the heading of “the United States Flag in the Revolution of 1861; a portion of which we copy : The attempts to re-establish the supremacy of that Hap in the South have been peculiarly unfor lunate Southern soil was first invaded in the occupation of Alexandria.

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 to be at large during this war, on tbe same principle that it directs dogs in tbe streets to be muzzled during tbe lint weather and dogs actually mad to be disposed of in a still more effectual man ner ? 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.
