great war of our first revolution w as fought out
■without the sacrifice of liberty. Not a princi

The fires of liberty burned with an intense
glow from Massachusetts to Georgia. It is
true that war was conducted under a Provis
ional Government, and it is a great calamity
that we constructed any other government,
•until we bad accomplished the objects of the
jTrgsent revolution. * Then liberty would have
i*afe. Then, when the war had ended, we
should hn v C framed such a government as we
.leaked ; adjusted it to the actual condition of
things, and placed statesmen in charge of it,

place among the nations of ti;°- earth.
All that can now be done, is to meet the
just demands of the government with the am
plest supplies to strengthen it in curving on
the war tor our independence : and at the same
t ime to hold it to a striet accountability to the
•people. We have • Constitution ; let the Consti

speak or to write foe liberty. It is a noble

A Brush with Yankee Gunboats.— On last
Thursday, quite a spirited little brush came off.
between a small detachment of our troops, and
some Yankee gunboats which attempted to go
up the Fcupprqaoag river, m which tint Yan
kees, cane out second Inst. Ou attempting to
ascend t£e rivet, two boats w.*e attacked and
forced back by Lieut. Sharpe, commanding
Capt. Pitt’s company of cavalry -nasiled. by,
two pieces of artillery under Lieut. Williams of
Lee’s light jittlery t>u«l by Li tut. McWfc-.tsoa
of the .'ffUli N C. with thirty infantry.
One of the boats got aground about seven
hundred yards from the shore.the month of
the river, yybprp Tap. peppered, for
some thus, by both our artillery and sharp
shooters, one shot striking her a -ar the water
line, fio hot was the tiro upon tins craft, that
the Yankees were all driven from their guns..
Three more gunboats at length came up to
tlmir relief and opened fiercely on our little
party, who courageously held their ground tiijpl
fought them tii! tho iipprcifch of night and
scarcity Aif ammunition admonished them to
retire beyond range of the i-aciiiy'sgm-.s.
Wo }uul three men slightly wounded qn«l oar
howitzer was somewhat damaged by » ; i; T.
The enemy's loss has-uot bc-. n Ascertained,
but it must have been coi sidcrabie, as their
wooden gunboat wr s aground and ur.dor the
fire of our artillery for some three hours n,id it
was well ascutained that eysiv man had to
seek shelter below f-orn the deadly aim of our
sharpshooters, lilt ’em again, Col. Worllmiu.

Vice President Stithkns’ latter.— The let
ter of Vice President iifephens upon the quim
tion of peace will be found to contain a most
discerning mind and a peculiar felicity of spir
it. Its sound discretion, thorough patriotism
and Itnunilfiil style commend it to flip
thoughtful perusal of men North and South.
It is so .much more practical and to the point
than any document which the question of a
final se'tlement has evoked, that we almost
fancy it must effect the minds of the enemy as
it lias affected our own. It is certainly calcu
lated to do good, not by an attempt to delude
any body by a show of submission, as Mr. Da
’ vis described in his late speech, but by a frank
and jnanly exposition of lira truth. In framing
a conclusion every one will do well to read it,
and ponder it, as a formal expression from one
of file wisest and purest men on the continent.
