The London Times says: It is

Ireadful fighting has been done
: Way teem and volunteers without

1'tjl these raw companies, without
professional spirit or regimental traditions,
with captains snatched fr^m
the-counter or the stofo, and with
Generals who were attorneys a few
months ago, are lighting with as much
obstinacy and heroism as Napoleon's
. ' Old Guard of Germany's bravest
warriois. Thci-e may be little science
in the business, but of all that makes
soldiers there is as much as in any
war of which we reach

Fighting by Proxy.?The Yankee papers
make public a letter from Ed. Everott to the
Govoruor of Massachusetts,in which' ho states
that ho put a "representative substitute" in the
arm^ nearly two, years ago^and now desireslto
procure another. "Whether this "representative,"
say6 the Richmond Whig", was an
"American citizen of African 'scent," and .
whether he now represents tho *!Ion. Edward
in this world or the next, the letter does not
disclose. There are in the Confederate service,
with innskets oh their shoulders, men
older aod more infirm than this able-bodied
\Yankee ; but be, liko a genuine Bostonian,
'prefers fighting and campaigning by pfoxy.?
jjNo man eould give expression to more polished
and sounding platitudes than he upon
?tho duty Of*citizens, and, the inspirations of
^country and flag ; but such sentiments find
^practical expression, in his own* case, in paying
't>lood-mpney for mercenaries who are nol citizens,
awl care nothing for .flag or country.?
Massachusetts patriotism runs now exclusively
iip this channel. Negroes and Irish and Dutch
r*i?rethe ''representative substitutes" of those who
,^d most to do in caushjg the war.? Carulinjjj&f;

<tt>jDboeneracy of Northern Masons ?The
jSpsonic fraternity have hitherto been of the
rjopjnion that the acts of ^vandalism practiced by
Tq'e Federal soldiers ill the various Masonic
jLotlges of Mississippi, were not the acts of Mam*>
but of hired soldiers, incited by a desire
yOflbohty ; but the Mobile Register blushes* to
jtbcbrd an instance which shows that they have
mistaken. During the last \isit of the
.Offfiiny. to Port Cihsou, they visited the Lodge
stole the regalia and jewels, and tore u^
ap<l destroyed the records and papers of Wash
i ittgton Lodge No. 3, and Clinton Chapter No.
'uajglhey also destroyed the charter of sad
lOmrptef, issued l>y the Grand Chapter . <(' he

THE FUNERATi SERVfGE OF SERGEANT
EDWARD'G. WILLIAMS, Co. D, Ist.Soulh Qarolina
Infantry, will bo held in the Episcopal Church This
(Saturday) .Morning, at half past riino o'clock.
The whito and blnck oflh era eaptiired lately at Petersburg
are cotifined together.
Northern papers stato that the Federal loss at the
late bnttlo Of Wiiffhestor was over one thousand ijieu.
Ever}' soldior sick and wounded, properly* gaicd for
by the people at home, and?restored to health, is a
soldier saved to our cause.

B. F. Evans, Lieutenant Colonel, and John Alexander,
Major, of the regiment rec^tly organized for the
defence and protection of Columbia.
Gen. Grant besieging Richmond from a point between
twenty and thirty mile's distant, reminds us'of
an old hen who killed herself trying to batch out two
nests of eggs, ton feet apart at the same time. Ber
ambition was greater than bor ability and she died in
the effort.
Exchange or Prisoners.?There is a prospect ol
tho exchange of prisoners of war being resumed. Wc
hope nothing may iDtorpose to prevent the consummation
of an objeot which the Confederate authorities
havo labored to accomplish. The number of prisoners
held by the t\vo ftovernroeht is about equal.
North Mississippi.?The Clarion Kxtra, of the 9th
says the last news from the Yankees in North Mississippi
represent^ them near Abbeville, on the north
side of tho Tallahatchie river. They are said to have
nine brigades and thirty-eight pieces of artillery?their
to '.e :r. esPniated at twenty thousand. '

11 a; In. preu.cls a g:aitd invasion by the,, rebels spon,
will? a. view to effect tho cfaptqro of Washington,
which was not the purpose of tho last invasion. Alsc
that Pennsylvania and Ohio, or Indiana, are to be invailed
at an early day, and tho theatre of' war trans
furred to those States from tho Sotith.
The war-is producing great distress among tho la
boring i^ople of the North. The premium on gold
and tlic^igh prices of dry and woolen goods, make;
the summer one great distress. A Noathern lottei
writer'says he can't. tell Vhow the people will be able
. Lo clothe and (ocit thcinsotrpu thiu aui?.
Ho^, then, will it be wlem winter conies ? Verily,
;tfje";jh^>lilToii fanatics wli? brought about this horrh
"scrvul a wind to reap a whirlwind." I low
long- the laboring poor of the North will eudftrc theii
rule, time will soon toll ! w
Sherman seems to bo IMrfnl of storming our linos
and Hood waits patiently for demonstrations from the
enemj*. Every day a general engagement is postpon
od adds to the security of the-eity. lloon is conlinu
ally strengthening his position, and is even now pro
pnred to meet the enemy at any point ho may choosi
to make an assault. Since the (tenth of McI'iikrsox
Sherman seems to be sluggish in his movements.?
McPherson engineered Sherman into Geoigia, anc;
we are inclined to the belief that ore many moont
shall wane Sherman will invoke tho wraith of Mc
to engineer him out again. We await future action
with confidence.
Andy Johnson.?Of Andy Johnson the Constitutional
Union gets off tho following :
Andy Johnson,'of Tennessee, is known to be
one of the most con6umato demagogues living.
In addition to a thousand other little I ticks resorted
to l>y him to make himself popular with
the masses, we nre told that he keeps standing
in front of tlve elegant mansion in which ^dic
lives, a small, otTc story shanty in which he
once worked as a journeyman tailor ; this he
points out to iiis visitors, telling them the story
of his early struggles in life. He forgets, however,
to toil them one other thing connected
with his liiimblo origin?how ho has an old
mother, more than seventy years of age, who
lie suffers, t.o traverse the streets of Philadelphia
with a basket on her arm, selling tripe
for a living. Ye who have hearts, only t^ink
of this ; a man who is rolling in, wealth, and
aspires to the position of Vice President of this
great country, suffers his'old mothc to trudge
about the streets of a large city, hawking tripe,
that she inay buy bryul to keep her poor soul
and hodv together.

II. The Confederate authorities have made a requisition
upon tho State for Two Thousand laborers monthly.
The proportion of one-fourth heretofore called for* had
failed to supply half of this number. In view of this
fact and the. great urgency of the demand for labor at
> this time, it .is deemed expedient to shor.ten the interval
.between, the calls, and increase the quota. Thia is
uu violation or mo law. ior.it does not fix the quota oS
labor, nor the intorval between tho calls, but prescribsa
that such proportion shall be called for as will fill tho
requisition, giving thirty ilnys notice. Each Division
in tho order fixed will bo required to furnish this
quota, and no injustice will,be done to any.
III. All parties, whother individuals, or compaDio^
who own or employ more than one road hand, are required
to furnish their quota, (one-half) unless relieved
l>y dotnil lrom Department Headquarters. Th'S can
relieVo only thoso hands permanently engaged on the
specific work for which the detail was granted. Commissioners
of roads will giye their attention to this
matter anil report to this offico.
IV. Great confusion exists from the iuoperfeot manner
in which tho names of ownors are given to agents
at thesovoral dopots. It is the duty of ono, or more
of tho Commissioners, to bo present to verify tho quota
of each owner, and preparo correct lisle. ,
Within five days after delivery on this call they will
' please forward to this offico names of defaulters in thoir
respective divisions of roads.
