Hunter, hat proved an unmitga- ted failure. Oijt of eight hundred contrabands on the muster roll, there were some five hundred who “skedad dled,’’ and many of tie remainder felt so uneasy under military control and ; disoipiine, that they watched for opportunities to escape. On Saturday j afternoon last a rumor prevailed around , Hilton Head that the famous negro brigade would be Disbanded that; afternoon. The rumoi of the disband- ; incut proved correct, fiv General Hun ter had dispatched an Adjutant and several officers to Elliott’s plantation, were the brigade was in camp. (>n the arrival of these officers their more lighting and more prisoners taken, but nothing is certainly known. The pub lic is anxious to see what Dr. Davis is go ing to do with the captured commissioned officers. As was expected, the fiat has gone forth for drafting at the North. How will it work ! The Yankees hope that its effect will he to bring into the recruiting offices the hundreds and thousands of foreigners who have been holding back for the boun ties that will be paid to substitutes, and this hope is not altogether vain. But it is hard to get as many as BOO.000 substi tutes. ,Say the average price will be S500; that will be a hundred and fifty millions of dollars—rather a heavy sum to come out of Doodle’s sensative pockets.— purpose soon spread through the camp, Conscription may bring the men, but be creating the wildest juv among the sure it will bring trouble with it.

To this every Christian heart in the com munity can give but one response.— The Capital of our. Confederacy was saved by the prayers of the church : no reverent and observant mind can doubtthis. Has our country ever seen a darker day than the period of our last national fast? How gloriously since then have we been delivered from the hands of our enemies. Our thanks are due to Him who “taught our hands to war, and our fingers to fight, and gave courage to our valiant men to drive back the army of the alien.” If we have any success in the future, it is through Him alone we are to look for it. Let us not be classed with those who “receive not because they ask not.” We have acknowledged God iu our Constitution as the Supreme Ruler of nations ; let us neverforget as a nation, to lift up our voices unto Him “in all times of our prosperity, and in all time of our adversity.” It chiefly becomes us so to do now, when we are struggling for our very exis tence. The insolent government which threatens our extermination is gathering its mighty host for the pur pose of desolating our fair land and 1 laying waste our possessions. We tnay well say in the words ofJeliosa- phat of old, when he proclaimed a fast under similar circumstances: “We have no might against this great com pany that cometh against us, neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon thee.” May the lifting up of our hands be an acceptable sacrifice, and the response be to us as to Him : “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord,” and the day of our deliver ance us perfect and as triumphant as that granted to the chosen people of God on this occasion. I I thank’God that many of our rulers j and officers and leaders are Chris- j tian men—men who fear God and 1 work righteousness. The signal suc- J cess which has attended the move- ‘Stonewali” than to any other one cause unceasing prayers, which are testified to be those who surround him. The honored head of our noble young Confederacy, who received the trust of a nation’s welfare with earnest invocations to God for a blessing on his “country and its cause,” has called upon his people again and again to join with him and with each other in sup plications for our deliverance. May we hear from him again the order to fall down as otic per>pie upon our knees before Him who has said “Call upon me in theday of trouble, T will deliver thee, uud thou slialt glorify me.” Albemarle. the construction kets. glance at the map and a moment’s reflec tion in regard to the interests at stake vvill show.

I saw a negro boy yesterday, with a bottle tied to a long e»l, were furnished with paper ing them free forever, and also their | wives and children'. The vast number of contrabands brought trorn Edisto andStono, togeth- er with those imported from George- j town, has made some provision for ] their employment necessary. They j are. accordingly, to be instructed in J tin 1 fine arts, so far as they relate to 1 of tubs and bas- string, fishing water out of an unfinished well and sellin-- a drink for five cents. Ax Incident.—About the time Gen eral Banks left the Valley to evade the hot pursuit of Stonewall Jackson, three \aukees we r to the farm of Mr. Crane, sheriff of Jeftevsoii county, and deman ed a favorite horse. Mr. C. refused to comply with the demand, when the thieves went to the stable and took the horse out, but that gen tleman, determined not to surrender his horse without a struggle, shot one of the marauders, wounding him ser- verely. The other two left the prem ises hurriedly, but soon returned strongly reinforced, and after capturing Mr. Crane fired his barn, containing about 1,‘JOO bushels of wheat, and his corn crib with 200 barrels of corn.— Mr. C. was taken first to Harper’s Fer ry, where he was closely imprsioned in the engine house of John Brown no toriety, and from thence sent to Balti more for trial before General Dix. Af ter hearfngtbe testimony, that officer said, “Mr. Crane, I ought to hang you.” “What for?” asked Mr. C. “Why, for not killing them all, if you could,” was the General’s reply and Mr. Crane was released and sent home. [ llichmond Despatch. A Bold Protest from Maryland. The Annapolis (Aid.,) Gazette, here tofore the organ of Administration par ty in the Gth Congressional district, speaking of the late prounciamento of President Lincoln to the Border States Congressmen, delivers itself as fol lows : But the most singular features of the address is a vague and timid allus ion to the iAbolition pressure brought to bear upon the President, and his evident conviction that the destruction of slavery iu the Border States would be a sufficient sop to the Abolition Cerberus. Give the dogs that bone, and they will readily furnish men to push further South; doubtless, in the hope of freeing more negroes.— Conversely, we suppose, if they do not get what ’ they demand, no more means will be furnished for the prosecution of the war. This is our interpretation of the President’s meaning. If it be correct, we should like to know if such a hu miliating speech has ever before come from the White House? And is it not an absolute and positive declaration that the war is for the negro, and not for the restoration of the Union : that From the Jcckson Mississippian, Aug. 12. Adiirrsu ol l.m.

I desh-e to express to you briefly my sense of your gallant conduct in the late operatious. Baton Rouge, from the char acter of the ground, could not be taken and held while the enemy commanded the river. Accordingly, the Arkansas was to engage the gunboats, mortar boats and floating battery, while you were to whip the enemy on land. Unfortunate ly the machinery of the Arkansas became so much injured that she could not reach the scene of action. Your part of the woik was nobly done. After marching all night through a country destitute of water you attacked an enemy superior to you in number, ad mirably posted and supported by the fire of their fleet, you forced them, from their positions; taking prisoners and several flags; killing and wounding inanj^; destroy ing most of their camps, and large quan tities of public stores; and driving them to the bank of the river under cover of the guns of their fleet. 1’he inability of the Arkansas to reach the scene of conflict, prevented the victory from being complete I hut you have given the enemy a severe I and salutary lesson.

When our readers peruse the Y'ankee ac count of McCook’s death which we lay before them, let them remember the ty rant iu his day power, and rejoice at liis fate. And should it prove true that tie enemy have “retaliated,'' as they term Jt, by killing and executing unoffending citi zens, prisoners, or not bearing arms, let no more of their officers or men be treated as prisoners of war, but let all whom tltay capture be hung as high as “Hainan” was for the buzzards to fatten upon. From die Richmond Enquirer. KcuIucUt!—ThcFoliry ol nrim-d Xrulanliii. Gentlemen: The Union party of Ken tucky was formed by a coalition of the Bell and Douglas parties, first brought in to co-operation on the 8th of January, 18GI—when both parties met in State Conventions in tjie city of Louisville. The two Conventions met as distinct bodies, in separate halls; hut they appointed joint committees of conference on resolutions and adopted the same series, word for w**rd. Prominent among the members of the Douglas Convention were Hon. Charles A. Wickliffe, President of the Convention, and now member of Ihe Fed- al Congress, John H. Harney, editor of the “Louisville Democrat,” and at present representative in the State Legislature from Jefferson county; Hon. Archie Dix on, late United States Senator, and others; while conspicuous in the Bell Convention wern Hon. Garrat Davis, present United States Senator; Hon. George A. Robertson, lion. Joshua F. Bell, Hon. W. H. A\ ads- worth, now representative in the Feder al Congress, Hon. Jas. S. Jackson, also representative in the Federal Congress, and Brigadier General in the Federal ar my, the editors of the Louisville Journal and other active leaders of the party. The resolutions adopted endorsed the Critten den amendments, opposed coercion, advo cated the formation of a middle or central Confederacy, and declared “ that the peo ple of Kentekv are oppose to a Union to l»e maintained by standing armies and held together by the sword. Such a Union was not such a one as our fathers made, and not worth being preserved.” Public meetings of the people were at once called in all parts of the State, and heartily en dorsed these resolutions. The Legislature was convened in spe cial session, upon proclamation of the Governor in January. At this session the House of Represen tatives, upon motion of Mr. Ewing, and I think, by a vote of ninety to six in res ponse to the resolutions of certain North erii States offering to support the Federal Government with men and money, declar ed, “That Kentucky would resist the pol icy of coercion by the Federal Govern ment with the last man, and to the last extremity.” Towards the close of the session the Bell and Douglas members met in joint caucus, adopted a common organization under the title of the Union Democratic party, upon the basis of the 8th January resolutions, and appointed a Union State Central Committee, located at the city of Louisville, and consisting of W. H. David son (declined the appointment, and George D. Prentice subsequently nominated to-the vacancy by the Committee,) John H. Har ney, Hamilton Pope, James Speed, P, in among other things, “the policy of co ercion wild and suicidal, threatening to drench the land in fraternal blood and dis solve the Union irretrievably in the crim son tide,” “that the soil of Kentucky was and should be maintained inviolate from the hostile tread of either section, and to that single purpose the authorities of the State were called upon to at once efficient ly arm the State;” that whenever the war ! were soon . their cotton-stealing expediii“n ; hut just as the delicious draft’was being raised to their lips, it was dashed to the ground.

If he ery. did, then his estimate of Southern men, aud June, re-affirmed neutrality astheset- tled policy of the State in various bills and resolutions passed at these sessions. The Union candidates for seats in the Border States Convention at the special election in April, and in Congress at the special election in June, and in the Legislature at the regular election in August, adopted the principles of the address as their plat form before the people, and every form of of public and private committal pledged themselves as public men and gentlemen to their honest support. The Union press of the state universally did the same thing aud urged the election of the Union candi dates purely upon this basis. The Gov ernor, Magoffin, by public proclamation is sued in 31 ay or June, also declared neu trality to he the fixed policy of the State and warned both the Federal and Confed erate Governments against any violation of it by invasion of its soil for any purpose whatever.

Richardson, and one or two others, whose names I do not now remem ber, in an adddress to the people of the State, strongly urged upon them the adop tion of tie same policy, and in the most absolute and unqualified terms, pledged themselves to its support. At first the leaders of the Southern-Rights party were disposed to scout tne doctrine of neutrality, aud rally their party in opposition to it upon a basis of pure secession. But find ing the policy overwhelmingly popular with the mass ot the people, the greater part of them gradually acquiesced in amH finally ceased all opposition to it. so that! it soon*became the recognized platformJ and policy of all parties in' the State. A" few bold Secessicuists repudiated and scoffed at the policy from the beginning, as a mere sham and cowardly subterfuge, while on thejother hand, a small number of as bold unconditional Union men freely de nounced it as but rebellion and treason in disguise. But the great body of the peo ple, leaders and all, gladly accepted it as a present, if not not permanent, escape from the perplexities of their situation and the horrors of a neighborhood civil war. At the samo time the almost uni versal impression among all classes of cit izens was that the Federal government would not long continue to respect the at titude of the State an4 that Kentucky would thus, by the violation of its neu trality by the North, be forced into the war and compelled to make common cause with with the other States of the South against common aggresssion upon the rights of all. No one ever dreamed for an instant that the South would willfully violate the neu trality of the State in any contingency, or that Kentucky would ever take part in the war against the slave States, and with this impression, in this expectation and with these pledges from the Union candidates the entire Union ticket for Congress, and the great majority of tha Union candidates, for the State Legislature, were elected by almost overwhelming majorities. With out these pledges, most solemnly made and oft repeated it is more than questionable whether they any, or at all events many of them would ever have been elected by the people to scats in either body. How they violated their pledges, betrayed their trust, abandoned neutrality and wickedly embarked the State in the war upon the South, will form the subject of another communication. Kentuckian.

It is hereby ordered that general officers commanding troops of the Confederate States shall tortlnqjfh ascertain and report to the President whether such acts have been committed, and upon being certified thereof shall forthwith set apart, by lot, from among any prisoners taken from the army under the command of General Fitch, a number of officers equal in number to the persons who have been put to death as aforesaid, and place them in close confine ment for execution, at such time thereafter as may be ordered by the President, and shall regard the said General Fitch, if cap tured, not as a prisoner of war hut place him in confinement as a felon, until the further order of the President.

We have information from the variou* points between St. Louis and Cincinnati and Memphis, reaching us directly through a well intormed channel, which serves to convince i s that their hold upon the river is precarious, and that some of the import ant positions might he captured hnd their stores destroyed, by a few energetic move ments which would require but little prep aration and only a comparatively small force. At Paducah, Cairo, Bird’s Point Colum bus and New Yladrid, the garrisons are very small, numbering from one to three hundred each. Island 10 has been aban doned, and they are now engaged in mo ving the guns. Fort Pillow is garrisoned by a considerable force, and Memphis by only five or six thousand. Is there not an opportunity offered to successfully ac complish on the river what 3[organ did in Central Kentucky? At Cairo; Paducah and Columbus the quantity of supplies gathered is immense—several millions of dollars worth at the latter place alone. The prize is tempting, and the country would honor the brave spirit who would snatch it.—Memphis Appeal.
