Judging from all the indications of tba Nor hern press, it is apparent that no effort will be pared to effect our subjugation. If the mighty armies of which they loudly boast cannot effect a result so desirable if armaments and flotillas cannot avail ?if rewards and promises applied to whites in Southern employment, unpass not the end, singly and unaided then, insidious influences, through spies and dislova' citizens, are to be exerted npon our colored p 'pulation, at the sacrifice of our homes, families and friends. No people are now so desperate as the North, nine more unscrupulous, as to means. We deal with a treacherous foe; one whoso sense of itaaor in this war, is as obtuse as his conscience. Flames, sward, poisons, by their own hands, or through your contented domestics, will all bo used. Let us flatter not ourselves that there is no danger. We know not who are in our midst, tlint mny enter Into the heart of our BUckatnoorn, and there drop a motive that shall fester into deeds of violence. Wo know not what a tide of influences may poor in from disaffected sections in adjoining Mates, or through persons who wear the badge of loyalty, but, in the heart, lodge secret motives of enmity, ready at any time to burst forth in a broad and extended devastation. 80 far as we aro able to dec:de just now, the prospect of internal dangers does not seem *0 be imminent. While the surface looks calm we know not what under currents may flow, which, by their gathering heat and intensity, will agitate society from its base to its cap stone Is it not our duty then, tc anticipate dAngeranlguardagair.it it? If the sky is e'.ear, bright and lovely, to day, we know that at some time or other it will be overcast with oloud and in its bosom the deep thunder will mutter, and the live lightning flash in playful awfulncse. While a. thousand unthought of and unsoen avenues of approach exist to the colored classes, let us be on the alert. Let no suspicious person p&sa without a rigid examination let no utterances of doubtful loyally go unexamined?let no trades man or salesman no matter what may be the character of his wares, hailing -from any disaffected section of the country, or from any of the I'nited .'States, pass without requiring the fallen evidences that his representations as to himself anJ business, are clearly genuine. To do this, let committees be formed voluntarily, if not by authority, whose duty it shall ne 10 gainer up iirius Ana report to our local or 8iate authorities, as the case may be, all persons, whether transient or local, who, by act or speech, render themselves obnoxious to the charge of disloyally. To secure another safeguard against surprisos or subitaneous mischief, let each man signify his willingness to organise upon a stiot military basis by subscribing his name upon lists, duplicates of which should be left at each of the Printing Otlices in town. After a sufficient number is obu^cvi, let the oompanies be organised by the election of officers, whose duty it shall be to drill the respective organisations thrice a week, if not oftener, one hour in the afternoon. To give the matter more importance, let each h >ti?o of husines*. during tlio hour of drill be c'.t^sea, and every man present himself, armed with snoh private arms as he may poeaesa, in tbe shape of guns. In these military oompan ies, all who are capablo of bearing arms will be admitted. Thus orgndised and prepared for resistance and atlaok, we may be potent to triko whenever our safety demands or duty roquirgt it. _ Resolution of Thanks.

Woman. Below is a lovely picture of woman as a ministering angel, as drawn by the graphic pen of an able correspondent ofthe* harleston Courier. over their signature of "Fereonne." It will he found to be worthy of one capable of appreciating the tenderness of worn in uudcr the mo;l trying circumstances : Speaking ol nurses, I cannot forbear paying a tribute to the nob c men and women who are here in that capacity. Many ot them are the wealthiest and moil arist cratio citiicns of the neighborhood, while others represent nearly every State in ti e Southern Confederacy While I write, I have in uiy minds eye ono of these great hearted women, who seemed to carvy iu her bosoui a bottle of sunshine, which she uncorked at a every bedside. The patie .la , looked upon her as she moved here and there I with a kind word for one, a soothing of the brow for another, a softening of the pillow for | the third, aod kindly caress or token of reeng nilion for all, as a sort of mother, and I could see their eyes fondly follow her footsteps as if, I while she were present they were under the shsdow of some protecting wing, and she was good?good in the largest senso of the term. 1 Everybody urouml her seemed to feel and recognize it the moment they came within her gentle influence. She bad that genius of administration, which is the special province of certain women, marked even among her helpful sisters by a soft, low voice, a quiet footfall, a light hand, a cheerful smile, and a readyself surrender to the objects of her care. She whs neither young nor pretty, but there was an invitation in the large blue benevolent eye. and the bright expressive lace, which nppeared to beckon you to come into her heart. I shall J never forget her as long us I live and no doubt { many a wounded man ou his return home will likewise carry with him to the grave the memo j rv nfihegood woman who. without money and without price," was to him in his darkest hours as a mother to her dearest child PoCTHKBX lxDt'BTUI s3 AM) SoVtttllUI RAILways.?The Washington correspondent of the Xe* York Express says: It is a fact uot generally known in the North, thai four filths ol the poorer class of whites at the South are cloihed in homespun, either lin en, cotton or wotlen, or linsey woo lacy?as their forefathers were in the revolution. John Randolph used frequently to wear it : so did another eoceutric person?Slmcco Jones, of North t'nrolina. It is spun and woven by the negroes and "plain" while women all over the Southern States. The manufacture of this style of goods has obtained a great increase since the opening of the war. As staled re cently in this correspondence, it is highly proh able that peace will find the South far more advanced in certain kinds of industry than ai any previous period of her history. The Southern railways, having no frieg'it to transport for merchants or planters, arc used almost exclusively for the transportation of troops, and provisions, and munitions of war. Being of a uniform gauge, the cars and locomotives of one company can be employed by all the others. Between Montgomery and Vanassas there is only one break, and that is at Petersburg. From New Orleans to Manassas there is no reshipment necessary. Be) ween Boston snd Washington, on the other hand, three brcsks occur in the line, without count tng (lie crossing (he Susquehanna. Tii? new Southern railways arn of ihe fir.it eU>?, and several of llie old works have been relatd with heavy iron. Distinguished engineers like Latrobe, McNeil, Child, Croset, Kllet, Mahone, Garnet and Pritohard, have been engaged for a quarter of a century in the construction of these works, with the aid of the most successful Northern contractors. Kentucky Pluck. We extract the following spirited paragraphs from the Louisville Courier of Tuesday : We presu ne there is not a Kentuckian, : not base enough to be a slave, who is not getting his arms in readiness for the rapidly ap- 1 proaching conflict. And when Kontuckians , bear their red right arm in battle, their ene- ' mies may well call upon the hilla and the mountains to fall upon and oover them from , their vengence and fury."

On Wednesday laat, the gallant Col. Stewart made a bold and dashing attack on the enemy at Leweusville, about three miles from Chain Bridge. He had but a small force of cavalry and infantry, and two of light artillery. The enemy had a large force both of infantry and cavalry, and eight pieces of artillery, completely routing them, and taking possession of their position, killing a considerable number, and taking some prisoners. On Friday, he again made another gallant attack on the enemy at Hall's Hill, about 27 miles ftrom Arlington, with similar success. To day heavy cannonading has been heard from early morning to 12 M., in the direction of Arlington. Large bodies of troops are now marching past wbi e I am writing. We have juat received orders to be ready to march in Ave minutes. We are certainly and surely on the eve of another great and bloody battle. We agftin cast our banner to the breeze, over our sacred soil, trusting to the Great Jehovah of Battles, to guide and direct us aright, and to shield as from impending danger. Out* cause is just, and we go forth with full assurance of the success of our army. Two o'clock, P. M.?We have just heard that the firing to-day, was at Munson's IIill. The enemy attempted to re take it, hut failed. Our troops, we understand, successfully and gallantly maintained their position, and retains possession of the Hill. The firing ceased about 12 M.

Hut it looks as if the more intelligent uien of the Rcpubltruns are beginning to learn. We are not surprised to flud Got. Sprugue, of Rhode Is land, who was carried away by the idea of whipping buck'' the South, but who at least behaved bravely at Hull Run, now saying that they had made a great mistake regatding the South, adding: ' We are under the impression that they are lacking in all the resources which go to ruisc and- maintain armies; whereas, in almost every particular, we have found them superior to ourselves; we have found not ouly the physique of their men equal to ours, but their clothing. their arms, their subsistence, and their means of transportation-?everything that gees to make up military efficiency- superior to ours." Which, of course, gives a gloomy idea of the chance of " whipping ' them on their owu scil. But we find a leading Republican paper in Massachusetts?the celebrated New Hedlntd Mercury?making the following clean breast of tlie "perilous stuff" that has waked it from its slumbers. It says : " We have made a mistake in our estimate of tlic strength of the rebels; have we made auotIter in the confidence we have pUccd in our own ? Is it true that the South carries with her the sources of cert a n failure, or shall we not rati er he compelled to yield to Iter deman is, not as a matter merely of policy and sell-interest, but of sheer necessity. *' Is not the struggle assuming new features, aud instead of being a contest for the preservation of the Constitution, is it not grow ing into a war of subjugutiou, in which the course first mnrked out by the Qorernmctit will be abandoned by the necessity of events? " Is there auy longer a ren unable hope thai, after the bitter strife of Slates and the sited ding of fraternal blood, the Union can ever be restored to its former position ?" Sensible suggestions ; and we give due cr< dit to the Now Hcdiord M< rcury for its courage in facing the music. As we do not belong to Abe Lincoln's school, and are more ready to nnswer than to ask questions, we will lay down some wholesome propositions to be (ought over by men returning to the use of reason in polities? by men who are dropping their flag bad ges, and recovering from their two-hour shout of "Great Is Diana of the Enliesiann ?" Every act and every week of war is suudcring further apart the North mul South. If the South could he "subjugated," those States would no longer be what they were under the old Constitution. They would he subject provinces. We want uone such. A million of soldiers can neither conquer the South ti r hold it if it were conquered. The nini ot the Aholitionizcd Republicans is to disrupt the Unicn by this war, and thus get a country free of negro slavery. Passion may yet he allayed. South as well as North, and the Union may he reconstructed yet. The only possible way to restore the Union in. to have peace before too d ep wounds have been intlicteJ on either side. Thcttrong'st of empire*, and the greatest of p< tentnies, have treated with " rebels with ann* in their hands." It ought to he ca?y for a (lorerntuent of freemen, who claim and guaranty the right of keeping mid hearing anus.

Our telegraph columns this morning furnish s with renewed evidences yf the magnitude r the atrocities committed by the LincolnMriB#rs and troops in that Stale. From other mrces we learn that whole families arearresttl as traitors, and that outrages af the most at>cious character are committed upon the perms of ladies of the highest standing. The iehmond Dispatch has corroboration of these utrages from refugees of the highest charactr, who state that no one would believe the exint of the Crimea against liberty and bumanir which they have witnessed themselves. The Confederate Government should move romptly nnd energetically to the rescue and rotection of the unhappy down-trodden peole of that State. Patience ia a virtue, and nnfidvnue in our authorities ia the great coo' roiling motive among our people, but they exact action very soon, and they have a right ? expect it.
