THE GUERRILLAS. Awake and to horse ! my brothers, For the dawn is glimmering gray. And hark in the crackling brushwood, There are leet that tread this way 1 Who eometh ! A friend ! What tidings ? Oh God ! 1 sicken to tell; For the earth seems earth no longer, And its sights arc sights of hell. » There’s rapine, and fire and slaughter, From the mountain down to the shore: There's blood on the trampled harvest; And blood on the homestead floor ! From the far-off conquered cities Comes the voice of a stilled wail, • And the shrieks and moans of the houseless. King out, like a dirge, ou the gale! I’ve seen, from the smoking village Our mothers and daughters fly ! I've seen where the little children Sank down iu the furrows to die I On the banks o( tbe batt'e stained river I stood, as the moonlight shone. And it glared on the face of m v brother, As the sad wave swept him on ! Where my home was glad, are ashes, And horror and shame had been there; For I found on the fallen lintel The tresses of my wife's torn hair ! .They are turning the slave upon us. And wiih more than the h lends worst art, Have uncovered the tires oi the savage, That slept in his untaught heart! . The ties to'our hearts, that bound bim, They have rent with curses avsay. And maddened him, with their madness, To be almost as brutal as they. With halter, and torch, and fcible, And hymns, to the sound of the drum. They preach the Gospel of murder. And pray fot lust's kingdom to come ! To saddle ! To saddle I my brother .' Look up to the rising sun, And ask of the God who shine there, Whether deeds like these shall he done I Wherever the vandal eometh. Press home to his heart with your steel, And wherere’er at his bosom ye cannot. Like the serpent go strike at his heel! Through thicket and wood go hunt him ! Creep up to his camp lire side. And let ten of his coipses blacken, Where one of our brothers hath died. In his fainting, footsore marches— In his flight, trom the stricken fray Iu tbe snare of the lonel} ambush. The debts that we owe him pay! In God’s hand, alone, is vengeance, But he strikes with tbe balds of men. And bis blight would wither bur manhood, If we smote not the smiteij again! By the grave, where our fathtrs slumber,. By the shrines, where our umbers prayed, By our homes, and hopes, and freedom. Let every man swear, on hq blade, That he will not' sheathe nor slay it Till from point to heft it glint . With the flush of Almighty juttice, In the blood of the felon loel They swore; and the answering sunlight Leapt red Irotn their lifted swords, And the hate in their healls made echo To the wrath in their burning words! There's weeping in all N.w r England, And by Schuylkill s bank a knell, And the widows there, and the orphans, How the oath was kepi can tell Correspondence of tie Richmond Enquirer. From ibe* 4Vc»t. Camp NeaI Tupelo, Miss. ) July 27th, 1862. i I Messrs Editors : An old friend essays j to give votf and your readers some account of military affairs in :he Great West, lhe war in the South-west has not been so I distinguished for brilliant victories, splen did achievements, and overwhelming tri umphs, as it has been in the East. The authorities in Richmond attach so much importance to the defense of that city, and at the same time, possibly underrating the power of the enemy here, left this see- , tion in a comparatively defenseless condi tion. The l'ederals madenosecret oi their i projected Hank movements last Spring, by means of gunboats and transports up the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. I he, Northern papers for months beiore reitera-; ted the plans of Haileck tor his great Southern Expedition, which promised so much for them. . , - , ! The Cumberland was miserably deteuct- j ed, by a miserable fortification, in a miser ably selected position- Eort Henry, b.r like reasons, offered but a feeble resistance . an overwhelming force, protected and assisted by iron-clad gunboats The con- ; sequence of all this was, that Johnson bad to hurry with indecent haste out of how ling Green, to avoid being cut ofi by a heavy force in his rear advancing up the Cumberland, with Buell amenacmg him in his front. You will observe that from Eort Henry the Tennessee is almost par allel with the Mississippi, as tar as 1 ltts- burg Landing. By advancing up the Tennessee, the Federate forced us to evac uate successively Columbus, Island Ko. 10, and Memphis itself. „ f A series of disasters followed the fall of Fort Henry, which nothing but the in domitable pluck and patriotism of the Southern people could ever have repaired. Thousands of dollars worth of army sup- j plies, collected from the fertile regions of Western Kentucky and Middle I ennes- see, were captured or destroj ed. Tenoi fifteen thousand of our best troops were captured, a great amount of heavy ord nance and small arms, the labor of months, was, in the space of a few weeks, transfer red from us to the possession of the enemy. Nashville was in their possession, the at mory of the West. The Cumberland, the Tennessee, and the Mississippi, as far as ! Memphis, could not boast of a single Con federate craft. To use a rather inelegatu saw, ‘our hind-sights are always bettei than our fore-sights.’ We can see now how all this could have been prevented. If obstructions had blockaded the Tennes see and Cumberland—if Forts Henry and Donelson had been made impregna- able-if we had had eigjit or ten gunboats on the Mississippi, such as the Arkansas, Grant and Butler would not this day be fulminating their infamous and brutal or ders from Memphis and New Orlans. The I poof women and defenseless little chil I dren would not be driven trom their own j doors, to wander abroad without the pro | tection of fathers and brothers, lhe la- ' dies of New Orleans would not be com- | pelled to smile at the detestable brutal j hordes from up the river, for fear of being i treated by them as harlots. Andrew j Johnson, Nelson and Etheridge would not I have dared to return to Tennessee. Three j' months ago despondency was depicted in i the face of every one. The timid and wavering were almost ready to sign an in denture of eternal slavery to the Yankee invaders. The most confident and hope ful were in doubt, and main- thought that all was lost. The scene nas changed.— Daylight has broke forth upon a long night of darkness* Nashville is now held by a most uncertain tenure. Murfreesbo ro,’ thirty-two miles irotn Nashville, has been taken with 1,200 prisoners, including two Brigadier Generals, by a gallant dash of the inimitable Eorrest. Curtis, with a large army, has been chased out of Ar kansas, after great loss and extreme suffer ing to his command. The Federal fleet has been crippled before Vicksburg, and that devoted city has proven her impreg nability by a water attack. Butler is on a bed of thorns at New- Orleans, in fear oi a spontaneous revolt of the people against the tyrant. Morgan has struck the Fed erals in Kentucky with terror, and even Cincinnati, New Albany and Jefferson ville are tilled with alarm. The State ar chives are being removed from Frankfort. Prisoners, railroads and army stores of the “Feds” are some of the trophies of Morgan’s triumphial march. The Blue Gras: region is in open revolt, and it is beiieved that Kentucky will strike an ef fective blow, which she has already with held too long. Our partizans are sweep ing over Missouri like a hurricane, and the poor deluded Gamble militia are venting their fruitless cries for aid from the Fed eral Government. Southern men, last summer, sought a covering in the moun tain fastnesses and the dense thicket, and now the Union traitors give forth wailings from the same places. Forty Federal sheriffs in Missouri are said to have bit the dust for attempting to enforce the collec tion of the Federal w-ar tax. The ranks of our army here are being rapidly filled by volunteering and conscrip tion. Onr army is in excellent health and spirits, and only asks to he led against the enemy. The Federal army at Corinth has been greatly decimated by disease and desertions. They have a considerable j force, say 20,000, about twelve miles ' South of Corinth. *W all ace, with ten or j fifteen thousand men, left five or six weeks ! ago for Memphis, and it is supposed has gone to Virginia. Buell, with thirty thou- | sand men, has gone in tbe direction of; Chattanooga, where he will probably ] catch a stroke of lightning. Logan’s Il linois Brigade has its headquarters at 1 Jackson, Tenn., and the troops are garri- j soiling the country towns of the Western | District, swearing those who are willing, j and imprisoning those who decline to take ! their odious oath. I could tell much more of these gentry, but I have already written more than I in tended. Our army, under the administra tion of General Bragg, is being well dis.- ciplined, drilled, and effectively oigan- ized. North Missouri. Th«- London Times ou Aiuericnu Afl'nirn. From the London Times, of July 26, we copy the following : We must do the New York press the justice to say that, so far as we have seen, it treats the disasters of' the Federates with sufficient fairness. Though, to a certain extent, echoing the mendacious bulletins of the Government, and the pompous ad dresses of General McClellan, it is still in dependent enough, and honest enough to let the country understand the whole truth. While Falstaff and Bubadil describe their exploits, the newspaper correspondents quietly exptaiii matters in a manner that has filled the Northern cities with con sternation. Since the battles hardly a single prediction lias been hazarded of the ultimate conquest of the South. Exhor tations to persevere, to send reinforce ments, to deliver tiie Federal army from its difficulties, to avenge the dishonor of its flag bv a triumphant entry into Richmond, have "of course, been plentiful, but, as to anything further, there is a dead and most portentous silence. In fact, it is felt that the defeat of Mc Clellan's army has changed everything. But a fortnight before, a vast and well provided lorce was investing the capital city of the South—defended, as it was thought, only by a few starving regiments. All w as joy ana ignorant confidence. Now the truth is revealed. • A whole popula tion is seen to have risen in arms.; enthu siasm and devotion Lave made good all de ficiencies ; Generals of consummate skill are at the head of a soldiety of fanatical coulage, and an army equal to the gteat- est of those with which European rulers make war, guards the frontier of the Con federacy, after having crushed the main force of the invaders. The Northerners, though they have shown themselves more liable to delusion than any one could have believed of such a people, are not fools ; and, in spite of the boasting and lying ot their government, they are receiving the conviction that such a people as the Con federates can never be subjugated. If it were a war for a fortress ora frontier, they would not be discouraged ; but when they reflect on the object of the present inva sion, and remember that they have under token not only to defeat the armies of Lee and Beauregard, but to utterly destroy them to octupv the whole Southern terri tory and garrison it, year after year, with a standing Amy of at least a quarter of a million of min, it may well be imagined hat they ate cooled and sobered by the prospect, we cannot but think that a 2>'eat cbnngi of feeling is likely to take place at the iortl. I lie undercurrents of the popular jmind are at first not visible; it is only wlffu they have gained volume and strength that they can change the course of the stream. But there is enough to show- that multitudes of the Northern people are becoiqing w-eary of this put- poseless slaughter. About the temper of the business men there can be but little doubt; they have been for many weeks giving to the cause of peace all tbe influence which their own timidity and the coustitution of American society will allow- them. But now we have fail grounds for believing that matters have gone further, aid that the great body •of the people are slowly coming round to the opinions of tlieir less shortsighted countrymen. That these will be candid iiul confess their own madness is not to be expected. A people never recants. But .hey may show their rulers, by signs not 10 be mistaken, that they will tolerate no more of Mr. Lincoln’s crusade. The ques tion will be soon determined. If this war is to go on, the immense levy ordered by the President must de actually rnade.-^- The 300,000 men must be forthcoming it Virginia is to be conquered, or if even Tennessee is to be held. But they will not be forthcoming. W e are told in the last dispatches that the volunteering makes slow progress, and .that the question of a conscription contin ues to be discussed. Our correspondent declares that in eleven days only 15,000 men had come forward, in spite of the enormous bounty, amounting in all to 8150, that was offered to each man by the Federal and State Governments. Draft ing for service, or in other Words, a con scription, was talked about; but we should think it would he only talked about. The scheme of a forcible levy of troops in are- public to subjugate and hold down anoth er republic is one that will hardly be se riously proposed, even by the more fanati- •al of Mr. Lincoln’s advisers. All now, therefore depends on the enlistment that is going on under the President’s procla mation. If this fails, then all is over, and after a few- months the independence of the South must be acknowledged, as it might have been with profit a twelvemonth ago. —— 3bii'htuou<( or YI'asEiin^ton. A released Yankee prisoner, w-lio had been confined in Richmond, writes to the Boston Courier, that the issue now is whether Richmond or Washington shall fall . But how shall that city be made to fall, which has so long resisted ns.successfully , which is this day stronger than ever be fore, through additional fortifications and larger numbers of a desperate foe, flushed with victory ? We have no child’s play before us; no war which can he carried on by hirelings. Go to the South, walk the streets of Rich mond; there is no business there but the business of war. Shops and warehouses are closed, or if open, it is for military pur poses only. This is a wretched state of affairs, but the people glory in it; they live but for one object, to fight those w-hom they call the invaders of their homes. The men are ail soldiers, and the women cheer them on. • Whether the despotism of Jeff. Davis keeps the Union sentiment out of sight, 1 know not; but there is none of the latter to be seen, and, on the other hand, death would be considered light, to the chivalry, compared with entering into a new Union with the hated Yankees. Our blockade has deprived them of all the luxuries, and most of the comforts of life, but their spirit is unbroken. Can such a people be subjugated ? If we avail of our strength, yes! as surely as twenty is more than eight. But the work cannot be done by dollars, nor by talk. ‘Poor white trash’ may be ignorant and ragged, but they have mus cle, and we shall soon feel it, nearer home than we have done, unless the torpid blood of Lexington and Bunker Hill arouses it self. I walk the streets of Northern cities and find their very respectable inhabitants engaged in the usual avocations of peace ful life as unconcernedly and with as much apathy as though there were no such thing as war in the land—as though a volcano were not about to buist o\er them , with no more apparent conception of‘the situa tion’ and their disgrace before the world, than a child unborn. They continue to indulge the strange fa- talityof over-estimating themselves and un- . (^’-estimating the South. A soldiery that has been unpaid for months; has lived on half rations of course food lor two months, and continues to do so; that never had any clothes, and dosen’t want any now; that has only one idea. I say such an ar my is not to be lightly esteemed, and is not to be crushed by appealing to Govern ment, and offering it dollars to shower at traitors. The Government, on the contra ry, appeals to you, and as you do not pos sess virtue to answer that appeal, it should show its power, and compel you to save your country, if you will not do it volun tarily. We are already threatened. It is al most too late to save our armies and border cities, but by prompt measures something may be done. Happy Omen.—At serenade given in compliment to VicePresident Stephens, on Tuesday evening, iu this city, he commenced his eloquent speech on the occasion by saying lie did not expect on this, his first visit to our beautiful city, to be thus honored, but considering his official position, he recognized the right to be cal led on and to be asked “Watch man ! what of the night V” As his clear, shrill voice rang out the question on the night air, he paused, and from the watch tower hard by came back the pealing answer, as if from the clouds— ‘All’s well.’ A thrill passed through the hearts of the company, an^l on all sides was heard the exclamation, “Happy omen !”—Columbia South Carolinian, Aug. 14. Fron i the Atlanta lirtelil^ncer. • In lercKtiug From Obit. Speech and Vision of Dr. Olds—Extracts from the Louisville Journal, Lieut. J. A. Holtzelaw, oi the Macon Jackson Artillery, now at Nickajack N'ave Tennessee, having become possessed of tlie Louisville Journal, oi the 4th instant, clipped from it the following extracts, and kindly forwarded them to us, for which we are under many obligations to the gallant officer as our readers will also feel when they persue the extracts. The first extract to which we call the ht- tention of our readers is one from a speech recently made by Dr. Olds to a “lJemo- cratic Club” in Berne’Township. Fairfield Co., Ohio. This Dr. Olds will be remem bered as an old and leading democratic member of Congress from that State, pre vious to, and for two sessions, we believe, after the Mexican War, and has always exercised great political influence in Ohio. Ori the occasion referred to, the Lancaster (Ohio) Gazette reports him as follows: * Extracts from Dr. Olds' Speech. “In God’s name, have we not had enough blood? Our opponents forced this war upon us, and they now call on us to help them out, but 1 tell you, Mr. Lincoln, that wheu you strke down Constitutions, trample laws under foot, and then call on Democrats to help you, you will not get them- Now is not this war for these pur poses? I tell you fellow Democrats there 16 no honor, no gain, no profit, no glory in this war. It is all loss. It is my brother you 6trike down.” “I see a recruiting officer in this room, here, no doubt, for t lip purpose of recruit ing volunteers for this war. Now I want to ad rise iny democratic friends abouWvol- teeritig. Before I enlist, or before 1 entice a single Democrat to enlist, I would first know, Mr. Lincoln, what you are fighting for. If you are fighting for the Union and Constitution, say, so, proclaim your policy. No it is not for the Union and Constitution you are fighting for. 11 is for those mad schemes of aboli tion and disunion. No Democrat will en list in this war until the Administration changes its policy and war cry.—* # * On the 4th of March, 1861, Mr. Lincoln stood upon the eastern portico of the Capi tol and swore to support the Constitution. Did he do it? No, his every act has beeu a violation of it from that day to this. I denounce bim as a tyrant. He has perjur ed his soul.—He may imprison me, but I will still cry TYRANT! I denounce these acts of oppression as foul acts of per jury against the Constitution. And now, my fellow Democrats, I am going to have a vision, which if it were not a vision, might be treason, but what I now say I saj- in sleep and am not therefore responsible. . The Doctor's Vision. “ J see blood at the ballot box this fall. The President has issued his proclamation for 300,000 more troops, and Congress has passed a law authorizing him to draft them. He will have to draft them if he gets them, for these cowardly abolitionists will not en list. There it; an election this fall, and they want to carry it. They want to draft Democrats, and they will draft them to prevent them from voting.—’They have the power, anti can so arrange it. lou will not he cheated. I tell you wili not submit to these wrongs. You will see blood If they attempt to arrest us and take us from our families to support an administra tion in its violations of the Constitution; we will resist even to blood. If the Dem ocrats don’t succeed at the ballot-box, they will succeed at the point of the bayo net. What I m ean is that Mr. Lincoln’s minions will sui round the ballot box with bayonets." How Prentice of the Louisville Journal commented on a id relished the foregoing plainly spoken sentiments of Dr. Olds we know not. but vv e presume he published them only to revile the bold speak er. Ou the the abolition side, we have the following extract: “Conway, of Kansas, abolition member of Congress, said in a speech in the House: For one 1 shall aot vote another dollar, or man, for the war, until it assumes a dif ferent standing, and tends directly to an anti-slavery result.—Millions for freedom, but notone cent for slavery!” We have also the following, which ap pears in the Louisville Journal,and which shows that the ballot box is to be perver ted and used oi tly by Lincoln’s minions. We shall not be surprised if Dr. Olds’ pre diction does not prove true in Kentucky as well as Ohio, and that, at the polls in both I States, blood will fiow: “Gen. Boyle has taken all necessary I steps to have no polls opened for any as- j piraut to office who is hostile to the Gov- | ernment and desires its overthrow. We ; again publish the form of oath to be ad- j ministered to all who may be challenged ! in the exercise of any right of citizenship I in addition to the r eguiar oath required by | the Constitution: A ud you do further sol- j emnly swear that yott have not entered | into the service of th e s o-called Confederate ! States iu either a civii or military capacity; j orinto the service of'..he so-called Provision- ] al Government of Kentucky in either a civii or military capacity since the 11th day of i April, 1862, nor have beeu in such ser- I vice in either the Confederate States or j Provisional Govern! net it since said date, j nor taken up arms against the forces of the ] U. S. or State of Kentucky, nor given vol- | untary aid or assistance to those in arms i against said forces, so iiei'p you God.” Prentice also comments thus ou the con- 1 dition oi Great Britain and France: “If Great Britain e.nd France had ac- ... ! ted friendly and in good faith towards the i i°rbmden us to tell him anything to excite ! United States upon the fi rst breaking out | hlm . consequently he knew nothing of the | of our ffoutheru rebellion, thev would have jury of a great commercialrival, but it “shot its arrow o’er the hous6 and hurt its brother.” It has lost the subitance while it grasped at a shadow, and t now feels keenly its folly, while the Ufited States are showing to the world the strength ot their power, the intensity of tieir nation al devotion and the inexhaustible mines ol their resources. France, too, il beginning G find out that starvation sttres in the fa^ie of her population, and scarcity is the prolific parent of all Freni revolu- tiqis. She will want our breaigtufls this fall more.than she will a cottffi supply. The cry for bread has gone tjt iu the streets of Paris as it did under jthe win dows of Louis XYI and Marie Antoinette before the horrors which ensanguined the close of the last century. Louis Napoleon on his usurped throne, cannot be stronger than was the Bourbon, who traced his de scent from long centuries. The. muttetings of the distant storm are ominous, and a whirlwind may rise on this Western con tinent which will sweep the tottering thrones of Europe to the dust. From the rebellion now in progress against tree gov ernment there may go forth a spirit which which will make free all Europe, and let its people know that kings are but chaft, and dynasties but painted pageants be fore the majesty, dignity and power of un iversal suffrage.” From the Richmond Enquirer.

He was the light of my hoary hair— • His gentle mother’s life and joy. All day have I w alked the crowded street; Piercing the groups with an eager glance, Vainly questioning all 1 meet— .

Could not the cruel death shot spare! From our Southern homes has fled the joy— How sad ‘twill be without thee there.” I left him mourning o’er his dead, That saddened lather, old and gray— O’er the brave young boy, on his martial bed, Stricken alas! before his day; Oh!

Outrages in Louisiana. Eds. Sun : The subjoined letter is an extract from one received from a young friend in Louisiana, an exile from Md*, prevented by tbe war from returning to her father’s home. If you deem it, or any part of it, worthy of publication, it is at your service, Respectfully, Ellen Me. My Dear Ellen: Many long weeks have elapsed since I last performed the pleasant task of writing to my dear old friend and schoolmate, from whom l par ted two years ago. Little did either of us think that our pleasant correspondence would ever be interrupted by civil war. Oh ! ’tis a merciful hand that veils the fu ture from us poor weak mortals; else every mad house in the land would be crammed with unfortunate inmates. Oh ! you can not imagine what 1 have passed through, since I last wrote you. One week after the capture of New Orleans, Cote Keith, of the 21st Indiana regiment, with 500 men, entered the town of Houma, in pur suit of of some of our citizens who had killed two Yankees that had been sent, in company with others, to seize a schooner loaded with arms and ammunition for the Confederate service. Not being able to catch the men, (who had left the Parish,) Col. Keith, announced his intention to re main until they were caught, and immedi ately commenced a series of foraging ex peditions, seizing stock of every descrip tion, as well as provisions for horses and men. They visited my Uncle’s plantation searched the premises for Cousin Howard and Wellman, who, they said, had been actively engaged in the killing of their men. They seized every horse mule and beef on the place, leaving no meat for the negroes, 150 in number. They even seiz ed the milch cows, sheep, hogs, Ac., and then carried off as many wagon loads of corn, hay, etc., as they wished. My Uncle, w^io is suffering from paraly sis, was not aware that any man had been kijied in tbe Parish, the physician had saved themselves much trouble and their j people much suffering. If they had aided i us in enforcing our blockade, refused to re- i cognize rebels as belli,'era nts, and severely 1 interdicted the supply of arms from their professedly neutral ports, the supply of American cotton won Id have been ample for the the use of the worid, because the Federal armies could have obtained poses- sion of vast supplies, which have since been burned in very w< mtonness. But now the cotton famine doe: i not work more se- skirmish or its consequences. He was not a little astouinhed then, to find his hou.-e suddeuly surrounded by Yankee soluiers, and his sons demanded. The next morning Friday before daybreak, bis house was again surrounded by armed men.— 1 he Captain told them they might have 20 minutes to get up and dress, that he was going to burn tbe house. When the time expired mv Aunt was at the side board getting Uncle’s medicine, the Cap tain addressing her rudely, said : “Mad am, if you do not leave this house I will nous detriment to British manufactures ; a squad of men to drag you out. than the loss of the A Mcrican demand for 1 - T , he y had already commenced to fire their manufactures. The policy of the Lo 1 us J 8 ' 88Ved two bedsteads and British government wt is directed to the in- l ^ ieo Wlt * 1 a * ew s ^ eets ? pillow-cases, ...X etc.,a secretary, a few of my cousins valuable books, my Uncle’s clothes. Aunt’s, Little Sissy’s, the boys’ and my clothes were all burned; nearly all our winter clothing, blankets, comforts and calico dresses were packed in a room which was kept locked, in the hurry and confu sion the key could not be found, and con sequently every thing in tbe room was lost. Barrow Bona, my little cousin, was running ont with his shoes, when one of the soldiers seized them and pitched them into the flame's. My Aunt tried to save a loaf of bread, some coffee, bee* tongue and several little delicacies for Uncle, but they actually took them from her hands and threw them into the fire. 1 he negroes acted nobly. They*ruslied in at the point of the bayonet and saved what little they could. A Tittle servant boy was running out with my writing desk (which he knew I prized highly, being a very handsome one, and a present from his Marse, Well man) when a Yankee told him to put it down; he did not even stop but ran along and hallowed out, “1 can’t, it’s my Miss Laura’s,” so thanks to Fred’s pertinacity, 1 have my desk" and a plentiful supply of paper. They the negroes they would not burn their quarters, but as soon as they finished the house they started ofl for the cabins, and would not let the poor ser vants save anything. They even took bundles out of their bands and threw them into the flames. They next set the sta bles and corn houses oM Are; they then went to tbe sugar houses—they wanted to take the sugar very badly, but were afraid that it was poisoned. They repeat edly asked the negroes if it was. Of course they protested that it was not, which seemed only to convince them to the contraiy, and it was with many a covetous glance aud many acutseon the Southern ers that they set on fire the sugar houses, and a large warehouse containing 600 bhds- of sugar and an immense quantities of molasses- After they had burned every house even the ben house, turkey house, and wash bouse, they left only a little school house to shelter the family, and on ly a half pan of clabber for a hundred and fifty five or sixty persons to breakfast on. Wp, could have no communication with Houma, and all of our friends lived the other side of the town, so we could obtain no help from them. About 12 o’clock, Mrs. Barrow sent a breakfast, recently cooked, and beef and corn bread for the negroes. After causing all this affliction to an innocent man, or rather one entirely ignorant of the death of the men, the cap tain cruelly told my Aunt that “if old Bond were not already half dead he would hang him up to the first tree.” Well, Ellen, it is all over now. I am living at Mrs. Barrow’s, my uncle is at the house of his physician. Aunt, cousin Howard’s wife and the children live in the school house- Cousin Howard and Wellman are well and have joined the ar my. LAURA B. To the Editors of the Enquirer: Gentlemen—1 call your attention and also that of the authorities, to a very im portant particular. It has -been noticed that, in the begin ning of the war, when it appeared that we would be overwhelmed by the tremendous power that was being brought to bear agniust us, ahd also last winter, when dis aster after disaster were weighing us down, that days were frequently appointed for fasting and prayer by the whole nation. It is certainly so that we have been helped out of all of our troubles by the prayerful spirit of our people, and it is all that can ever save us. At the commencement of our troubles the entire laud was filled with prayer to the great God of Battles. We saw the effect of it.—The enemy were burled back from our soil. We began to slacken in our devotion; disaster came, and with it a nation’s de vout appeals to Him who alone can guide us through this terrible storm to a heaven of rest. And now that we have been blessed with success, that the Great Omnipotent has saved us from our enemies, shall we cease to render acknowledgments to Him who gave us the victory l Shall we look to ourselves ? Now and all the time, it is time for fasting and prayer. It will not do to follow it up only in time of adversi ty. The president should appoint such days and do so frequently. The people, it is true can act withont that trouble, but the nation’s attention should be called to it; it is nothing but right.it is all that can ev er save us. The writer has been in the battles around Richmond, and know by what mere clance victories are gained. The fortunes of bat tles are certainly picked. You may talk of your Generals your science, strategy Ac., it does some good, but it is evident on the field of bat tles, how little it would take to spoil the best plans. The merest waver, or smallest trifle which mav be on one side or the otheiv«ay decide a battle which may affect nations for ages. The Great God alone giveth the victory. It is not to the strong nor to the weak, but those who look to Him. Unless we look to the Great Ruler of events we are a ruined people. This is a just war on our part, but its is justness will not save us; we must look above. May we ever be a God-loving and God-fearing people. A SOLDIER. The I,ale Gen. McClellan. McClellan is meeting his fate and there are none to pity. His government is still stripping him of his forces. Henceforth he is to command a squad instead of “the grand army.” Henceforth he is to second even to such, a man as Pope, until Pope in his turn, “has had his day.” That sooth ing nocturnal visit of Lincoln is to keep him quiet under his humiliation. It can not be known what promises Lincoln wrung from him m his agony. Meek submission was prooably one of them, as the very best thing McClellan could do, even for himself. But oh, the bitter ago nies of the defunct Napoleon, as he thinks what he is going to be, and what he is! . And, as a mere personal retribution, rich ly does he deserve it. By his false de spatches, he raised hopes which he could not meet. He thus prepared for himself a heavy fall aud a pit to fall in ! He also entered Lincoln’s service against his con science, and it is therefore fit and proper that he should reap nothing but disgrace. An intelligent gentleman, directly thrpugh, gives it as his best impression, from ail that he has seen and hea.d in Middle Tennessee, in the last few weeks, that the entire force under Buell’s com mand is about 40,000. Brownlow has been rehearsing a speech which he says he prepared for delivery on the gallows, when he was arrested by the Confederates. It is to be hoped that he will get the hang of the subject before he quits.
