Nearly three years ago, when we first undertook to issue a weekly paper, we were beset with doubts as to the fate of the attempt, on account of the condition of public affairs and the exceptional state of circumstances existing at that time, j A short experience dissipated an our | fears, and gave assurauce of permanent success. Our readers are aware of the circumstances which caused a temporary suspension of our publication; and it is needless to particularize the causes which have produced so long a delay. We are happy to announce that our arrangements are such that the publication of j our paper, in the future, is an assured fact. It may seem to argue great temerity | to undertake, at this time, to publish a paper, when one already exists in the ! town. But we believe in the first place that there is room for both, and that the demands of the times are such that both can be supported. At any rate, in our preseut attempt, we have ouly sot about it wheu the success of it was put beyond question. In the conduct of our paper we will be guided by the same principles as heretofore. Strictly independent, we belong to no party or clique?but we will continue in the future, as in the past, to ffivo our most ardent support to the ad-1 ministration of President Davis, believing, as we do, that he is the right man in the light place, and the best; mau for the place; and that after all j that can be said and proved agaiust him j is allowed its full weight, he still stands j forth as rim man of the times. Errors | have been comm'itwd ; what man or administration ever totally avoided them ? The proper plan to arrive at a correct estimate, is to oousidor our en>nli?i?n j three years ago, the transaotious of tb<> intervening period, ana the present proud and impregnable position of the Confederacy, and then answer whether or not there appears marks of greatness iu those who have conducted our affairs. In our relation as member of the! press, we anticipate, iu the intercourse ' with our brother members generally, and > especially those of our town, the reciprocation of those kind feelings which characterize the courtesy of the profession iu this State, and which has given it the high character which it everywhere i k bears.

To Our Patrons. In issuing a somewhat larger paper than the most of our cotemporaries, it is not our purpose to deceive our subscribers or others who may hereafter choose to patronize us, by commencing with a double sheet, and, after securing their mite towards our sustainauce, to reduce the size. We tell them, in resuming the ntiblipnt.inn tlmf. wo mnu -it nnv finin Kn r .V,.., - ~V. compelled to issue a single sheet, where a scarcity of labor, paper or ink may necessitate us to adopt such a course. Hut we have effected a contract by which we will be regularly supplied for twelve months with paper, so that at present we need apprehend no such necessity. In order that we may be able, during the coming week, to perfect, as near as possible, the condition of the imposing room of the office, we will issue a single sheet, after which time, the paper will appear as this number is issued. We presume it is unnecessary to remind our readers that the subscription money will be paid in idvance. i * \ News from Richmond.

Penalty for Failure to Deliver tho Tithe in TimeOffice oftiie Commissions; of Taxes, Richmond, March 25, 18G4. To the Editor of the 1)7(5/ : Permit me to enlighten "A Fanner," whose communication, headed "Who is the Law-giver," appears in your paper of this inurnidg. The Tax Act of 1804 was re-enacted with amendments, and approved on 17th February, 1SG4. What was section 11 in the old Act is section 10 in this. In paragraph IV, section 10, one of the amendments is in these words: * * "The said producer shall he required to deliver the wheat, corn, oats, rye, bucl?whcat,#ncc. peas, beans, cured hay and fodder, sugar, molasses of cane or sarghum, wool, thus to be paid as a tithe in kind, after they have been estimated as aforesaid, in such form and orrlirifivtr inivl'AlnKlft nnnilitiiin ?ia inir Kn ItlllMi J 111441 VVllMII I"il (tO IlKljr UV> usual i:i ilio section in which they arc delivered, within thirty days from the da to of notice given by the agent of collection that he is ready to receive such m .. T..CC, (V .1i.t pi~0TK l.v4i II iPTTSrU.Ut'J M be delivered in the manner and at the times hereinafter provided,) at some depot not more than twelve miles from the place of production : and it' not delivered by the times and in the order stated, lie shall be liable to pay five times the estimated value of the portion aforesaid," Ac. This is the law, and Congress is the law-giver. Instruction 0, which "A Farmer" quotes, is a promulgation of the amend...ent above quoted, and if he had observed the heading of the instructions, he would have seen that they were issued as "additional instructions adopted to the amendments of the tax laws of 1303," Ac. Very respectfully, THOMPSON ALLAN, Commissioner of Taxes. Grant's Movements in Virginia. Oraxc.b C. H., April 3.?Intelligence from the Yankee lines represents Grant as busy reviewing and inspecting the Army of the Potomac. It is also reported that reinforcements arc reaching that army from the West. Meade still retains bis command of the army; but Grant will have charge of it in the next fight. The cannonading heard in the direction of Culpcpcr is* ascertained to have been salutes in honor of Grant's presence. Snow fell here for over ten hours, but it has now all dissappcared. The condition of the roads precludes the possibility of the enemy's advance for a week, at least; but all our information shows that active preparations arc going on in bis camps. Capture of West Virginia Legislators by Rebels. Sin John's Hun, March 20.?Last evening a detachment of rebels, reported to be Gilmer's men, made a raid into ]>ath, a village of Morgan county, West Virginia, two miles and a half from here, and succeeded iu capturing Mr. Uechtcl, n Wncf Y'irrrliiifi Ssmi'ifnr mnl Mr ?-?.V.OU . .. v., Wheat, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates. * A New Point of Exchange. The Richmond Examiner informc us that Savannah Georgia, or some point nigh unto it, has been selected as neutral ground for the delivery and exchange of prisoners of war sent from Richmond to Americus, and such others as may be gathered at that point. Maj. E. Griswold, late Provost Marshal of Richmond, has been detached from service there and ordered to the above post. The following, however, looks like another hitch in the exchange business; "The Washington Chronicle says that General Wadsworthis instructed to state that no more prisoners will be exchanged, except upon the principle of man for man, regardless of color." Eighty Yankees were captured in East Tennessee during the recent advance of Gen. Longstrcet, and have been forwarded to Richmond. * . - o A Proposition. "We clip the annexed from the Rc/f/ious Herald: I propose that on the second Lord's day in April next, every minister of the " i *1.. 0?..iL gospel, ol every acnoniiauou iu meouum, preach from these words : 'If I shut up Heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I seud pestilence among my people ; if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins, and will liccl their laud."?2 Chrou., vii: 13,14. Will not every newspaper in the South, both political and religious, publish the above proposition ouee and again, and thus bring a subject of such vital importance fully before the public mind? The "locusts" and the " pestilence" are ijow devouring our land, and here wo have the explicit directions how to get Irid of them. Let us obey God aud realize the blessing. A MINISTER OF TlIE GOSPEL. [/ Vow the Cohunhin Cuartlinn.] The Black Flag. * We (iud no fault with the fact that such men as President Davis and Gen. Lee hesitate to commit their country and her righteous cause to the atrocious warfare inaugurated by the Lincoln?, Butlers, McNeils, McCooks and Kilpatricks of Northern chivalry. Perhaps the bloody retribution which Yankee vandalism challenges may best receive sanction and disc jssiou around the camp fires.

Let them take the first step towards righteous vengeance and prepare to go i on as the case may demand.

Extraordinary Sermon from Henry Ward Bcocher?The Rebels Eulogized. ltcv. Henry Ward Bcccher rather startled his hearers at the Plymouth Church, in Brooklyn, in a eulogy of the rebel troops, in the course of a sermon designed to show that the price of liberty was not only eternal vigilence, but eternal self-sacrifice. " Where," exclaimed the speaker, " shall we find such heroic self-denial, such upbearing under physical discomfort, such patience in poverty, in distress, in absolute want, as we find in the Southern army ? They fight better in a bad cause than you do in a good one; they fight better for a passion than you do for a sentiment. We believe them to be misguided, but wc must do them the credit of saying they fight well, and bear up under trouble nobly; they suffer and do not complain; they go in rags, but do not rebel; they are in earnest for their personal liberty ; they believe in it, and if they can they mean to get it." Mr. Bcccher also denied that slavery was dead. " Dead !" he exclaimed, " we know that within the lines of the frontier army there arc yet three millions of slaves. As yet, wc learn that they are docile, amenable to the will of their masters, patieut and subservient. Don't be deceived." It is scarcely necessary to add, that not a few of Mr. Beechcr's flock went home that night astonished. Important from the North. Richmond. April 3.?Wc have Northern dates to the 31st ult. A collision occurred on the 28th ult. at Charleston. Coles countv. Illinois, be twccn the rebel sympathizers and the Abolitionists. The fire of the latter killed 14 of the rebels. The latest accounts say that the rebels, 300 strong, were entrenched at Galliday's Mills, under command of the Sheriff. The 53d Illinois regiment, 400 strong, were marching to attack them. Mattoon,111., was threatened by the rebels from two adjoining counties. The very latest telegrams, dated Springfield, 111.. March 30, say : "Col. Oaks, Provost Marshal General, started for Charleston last night, lie telegraphed to-day for the 41st Regiment. Gen Ileintzlcman has also been requested to send 5000 troops from Indianapolis." This indicates trouble of a serious charactor in that section. TLo Now York World has a rumor trom Washington mat the enure or<*anO ized malitia of the North is to be called into service for six montns, to hold certain points during the campaign against Richmond, which is soon to begin.

Two Yankee adventure, on the part of twelve members of the 15th Virginia cavalry, has resulted in the destruction of two valuable Yankee schooners and Schooners Seized.?A bold and successful capture of a large amount of valuables. The parties proceeded down one of the rivers emptying into Albertnarlc Sound one night during the past week, and, at an opportune hour, boarded the schooners and disarmed the crews. Doth vessels were loaded with coal, cotton, and salt, and all the coutents were saved and sold, after which the vessels were burnt. On one of the vessels the Captain was relieved of a fine gold watch, twenty, S20 dollar gold pieces, and a stout roll of greenbacks. The cargo of one vessel realized 823,000 in Confederate currency. A New Wrinkle.?A new "wrinkle " in the gas business is an attachment of a small marine clock to street lamps, whereby the gas is turned off at precisely the moment desired.
