dispatch a courier to him. Some say Longstreel
has heard news; others say lie has a plan. All we

that certain baggage trains have been cut down to
one 'wagon for a brigade, as if traveling were to

ijet every producer —whether a large planter
or a small fai'incr —make an individual matter
in considering these questions. Have 1 not
sons, brothers and neighbors in the army.?
Docs not their comforts and perhaps life, as
well as the protection of my liberty and prop
; erty, depend on tho support of the army and
people? Though I have the easier task, sur
rounded by the comforts of home, ought L not
to feel that f am enlisted in the army as a
producer ? What can I do that will most
benefit the army and the country, and in doing
so benefit myself. —Augusta Chronicle.
A correspondent of the Mobilo Register,
who is "a distinguished officer,” writes from
Greenville, Tennessee: -‘What the next move
will be no one know's. A trip to Kentucky is
much talked of. Wherever we go, we will go
in very light marching order. Gen. Long
street lias but one wagon for himself and staff;
one wagon is assigned to two brigadiers and
staffs; one wagon for held and staff and all the
company officers of battalions of artillery and
regiments. Vic have all conic down to ‘anoth
er shirt’ and two blankets.”
The following extraordinary notice appears
in a yankce paper: Miss Mary Walker, M. D.,
who arrived here last week, with order.; to
report to Dr. Perrin for duty, has been ordered
to report to Col. Dan. .McCook, commanding
a brigade in Jeff. C. Davis’ division She
left yesterday for Gordon’s Mills, where the
brigade is now stationed. The young lady is
very pretty, and is said to thoroughly under
stand her profession.
It is stated upon the authority of yankee
officials in East Tennessee, as also upon the
authority of that voracious sheet, Brownlotv’s
Whig, that the Federal Government will soon
commence enforing the Conscript law in Ken
tucky, Tennessee, and other border States.
Drownlow says this measure will largely in
crease the rebel army, and advises Lincoln to
let the matter rest for tho present.
Do Right, though you have enemies. A
man who acts on principle must expect opposi
tion and foes. lie always has, whether he
expects them or not. • A person why barters
awav his honor and integrity for expediency
may at first appear to gain something—but in
r.he end he gains nothing. Better always to
-.tar.d up for principle, and rejoice in the feel
ing which invariably inspires a free and inde
pendent man.

G. W., Jit.
j A letter from Canada, published in a British
j papqr,announces that there .are eighty thousand
deserters from tiie Yankee army in that country.
First and last, Mr. Lincoln iias called for one
million seven hundred thousand men. The exact
number he got, and placed in the ranks, cannot
be ascertained, but it must bo somewhere in the
neighborhood o r one million. W-hero "are all
those moil now ?
If there are more than five hundred thousand ,
now in the field and on duty, we do not know j
where they a eto be found. Accenting this esti- j
I mate then, there remain, say, more than five j
! hundred thousand movo to be accounted for by j
| death, by buttl and disease, disablily and deser
tion. Tho proportion of deserters must ’ o large
for, frightful as has been the slaughter of a an
kees In man/ sanguinary battles, riot as many as
half a million have been killed or permanently dis
abled. ' g
Canada, besides being a country where living is
cheap, is easily accessible from any part of the
North. The people, too. almost without excep
tion, we believe, arc heartily on tho Southern side
in this war, having a justly contemptuous opinion
of the mean race who are their neighbors, and in
stead of repelling those who desert from the Fan
kce army, moie probably encourage and sustain
them iu so doing. I\ e have little doubt that the
figures used by tho correspondent above referred
to are correct, it indeed they do not understate the
number.
Is this number Jikely to Tie increased or dimin
ished? The former, we think, most deculedly. —
When the, term of service of the three-years men
expires, as it wiil in April, May and June, the
'conditions of re-enlistment are a furlough of forty
days and a of about a thousand dollars.—
The forty. daysAvill enable 1 bom to go home, and
the one thousand dollars will enable them tbjvoep
od to Canada, wherej with that sum, one may live
a whole year in comfort.
As for those who do not re-enlist, our only four
of their coming back to fight again nsgainst us,
is that the Yankee conscription may bring them
back by force. -But Canada offers a safe refuge
from conscriptions and drafts.
These are but speculations, it is true—but wedo
not think they are visionary. The enemy s ranks
have been filled up by repeated promises of a
