EDITOR. WEONESDAY, JAN. 7, 18113. The New Year. Ti. our friends and senbserlbers we r-poetfuilly tender the greetings of the eeacnr. WeV have no "..t speech n' hand with which to 'addrass them. but most eareli1y jish for them all a harpy en trance upon the New.Year and an--enj.yment if its months and season=, in health, andl comfort, and, if puosible, in happiness.anI ,ac..ntentment of si irit. It is a grant and mighty err, in which we live,--such as few generati.,ns of mean have wit nassed in the Bash. It is no tino far narrow sen timents or littla preudices.; It is no time for aught'eave the exercise of the virtues of hnman lfe properly tempered by its kindnesses and anirli'ius. T.et uo humbly endeavor to do each one his duty in his approptlate sphere; and let us especially strive to .tenda shoulder to shoulder in view of our common deprivations and dangers. To our borme patrons we return our heartfelt thanks fur their continued support of the old Dis trict prper. We have endeavored to show our appreciation of their staunch kindness, by keep ing the Adeeteur up {r" its full dimensions and by supplying it from week to- week throughout the year with the latest news, up (as nearly as possible) ta the very hour of publication. It is needless to sny that tli. has been dune at a large curtailmen.t of our profit'. We desire not to vaunt this as a merit. Our readers are left to es timate it at its proper value, and we only claim to have madel the eff.rt to do our duty in the position Southern journalists. T.. Our friends in the army we have many thanks ti render for their oft-repeated expressions of ap proval andl regard. To know that we have given them any the least gratification frot week to week, is of itself a real enjoyment, and repays us for many an hour of trouble tnd perplexity. If the war continues (which God forbid!) we hope to do better than we have done for our brave and beluved soldiers,-but our present purpose is not to make professiuns. To the blessed women within ourcirculation we render homage for their native worth and grati tude for their many marks .of esteem exhibited towards us as only they can do.such things. To one to all, we renew Our greetings upon the advent of 1863, trusting that we are to keep com pany as heretofore on the rugged road of revolu tion and that another year as farthest will bring us the blessings of peace and independence. The New).' The latest intelligence froh Murfreesboro and Vicksburg, to be found in our news column, is not as satisfact-ry as it might be. Our troops have. slaughtered the vanals terribly at the former point, but after all it seems to be a drawn battle. At Vicksburg. it would appear that the enemy was only changing his point of attack. The pub lic will await further news from both localities with great anxiety. I7 SEE OUTSIDE for many interesting se lections,-among them a glowing tribute by Col. I. WYATT Aicx, to the Edgefeld heroes who fell in Maryland inder his own observation. An article signed " Common . .ese," from the Colum bi:t GUnnrdian, takes a practical view of an iu. portant natttter. Saay. A highly respectabI wd of citizens were in attendance here on Monday last.

It was thought it great thing t..u in that day. to ar. ire in tiothumc at S o'clock P.

Those were days of vanity and folly ; a great revolution has swept them into nenentity, and nane are now so poor ion this side of Mason & Dixon's line as to wish that they should over return. New York, Philadelphia & Co., bate learned that they are not America, and we of the South have come at last to conceive a commercial as well as a political independence in which those once-proud cities are never, never more to button upon Southern gulli bility and to till their coffers to repletion by prac tising their ton thou.and " tricks of the trade" upon the unsuspecting generosity of the Southern public. We hare been wok, foolish, stupid, 1lind, in our dependence upon Yankee Land for all the comforts and many of the aecessarles of life; but a change has suddenly coma over the whole face of affairs,-a change which the extremest advo cate of Southern Commercial Independence did not hope to effect in less than a life-time, but which two brief years, under the Mighty Guidance| of a power infinitely higher than mana, has made couplete and irreversible,-and this too whether the South shall triumph eventually, or be crushed ; For if the former, our sails are spread on a new sea, with new markets and new allies; and if the latter, our lAnd becomes a desolate waste, to be parcelled out between England and Franco possibly, but never more to swell the exchecquer of the Northern United States. But whither do we wander? Our main purpose was, and is, to glance over a couple of papers,-a Philadelphia Enaqirrr and a New York Herald, of date the 22d it,-kindly furnished us, from acri.ss the lines, bay a very considerate lady-friend, who has just received them from her gallant hus band in the Fredericksburg front. They are not exactly damp from the press, but will suffice to give us an idea of how the world wags in the "big Norrid" just at this juncture. Let us see. Here goes the Enquirer,-page first, "WAR NE WS," with big head lines ;-pnge second, " WAR Nxws," with little head-lines; page third, War Xerce 'mixed and miscellaneous; and page fourth and last, also war news in part; nearly the whole paper devoted to the contempti ble rebellion which was to have been summarily crushed at least eighteen months ago, but which now evidently loems up to the Philadelpha En quirer a thing of such mammoth proportions tes to occupy nearly the whole scope of its vision. The inqirer admits that our artillery at Fred ericksburg "curried tawaay erery liring Ihineg in its electric lirmaflood." Col. WALTON and his invin eibles clearly made their long experience tell fear fully upon that memorable day. And not only our artillery, 1.ut our infantry also did their work nobly and efficiently. The Enqirer admits an utter defeat, but says that Buctastnw's army is in god-ritraad -*tw .t ... --3 ...----'i-- &"" mesliato advance mett be made. It exhorts an immediate concentration of the whole Union strength against two points, viz: the defensive lines near Fredericksbunrg, Vet., and the peosi tion in front of Nash ville, Tenn.; "snch 'ee eatntion," wittily remarks the ?NQsdrer, of our forces about tlmae two gret fucuel pointls tas will overhelua then, utterly." Vltlla-The E,,gnirer gives an iteta of news from New Orlcancs whaich scarcely comeports with the ftacts as we know thems "away dawn here ina Diie." Speaking of Mrs. EBatuttiGaD, who in reality left New Orleans "long titte ages," that paper plasters /hrist /hrter as follows: ' It will gratify every man of setnsibility to learn that as Mrs. Boe::uregard is lying dangeros ly ill in New Orleans, Genersal Butler, the hest hated officer througheout the South, bas sent a cor dial iurvitastion toa Gener 1 Beauregard to come and visit her. - Gritu.visaged war bath snmnothied his wrinkled front" when suach co'urtesies are off.:red.

Buatler's governmaent in New Orleaens has caused ae social regenearatiun there whieb His tory will receognizia and applaud in spt of present slanders."e Itgoesagainst the grain to print such stuff, antd weanly give it as a sample of the contempaile 'luperypackery' by which the corrnpt Northern press contineues to justify the maneset tools of their unhaellowed cnuse. See far as the Eugnuirer's pages are a reflex of the business prosperity of the City of Brotherly Love, they tell a tale of suspension the like of which neo Southern city has yet felt. Althouagh claiming a circulation of 60),000l subscribers, we can find; all told, barely two columns of adver tisements in the whole sheet before us, and the largest portion of these are military acid thseatri cal. This is literally and strictly true, and m'sy or may not mean a good deal. We incline to think it at least siganifes that PIMiteulelphy is not etly " what it used to Was."e Ated this poverty of aretisemnents is the more refrecahing, inas much as it stands directly contrasted with two columns and a half in cloasely printed lists, of PennsylvanIans killed and wounaded at Fredler leksburg, in the single Br'gade commnanded by Cul. ALLAn.aec. W~hen the record of the loss sof one Pensylvanaia Brigadle, in one battle, Occupies more space in a Philadlelphia Dhai!y than the whole of its City Advertisemnents det, we submit that A aback, as well in their howe an in their army circles, is the "right name in the right place."

And what says Sir Oracle ? We have anly psae for a few samples of his wIsdom : 1. He predicts, .with more plausibility than usual ef late, that LINcoLN's administratioen will priove efailure ;-least.ways he gives that as " the pre 'ailing public apprehension," and takes no ocea ian to deny it. 2.

He declars that the supremacy of the Demo. ratie Party North does not mean peace except iith the Union entire as-it originally stood. 4. e urges the policy of peace and a restora-t on of the Union undler Constitutional guarantees [)iavolo!) and a combinaetio~n of the Northern r ad Southern armies to drive England aut of anada, Spain out of Cuba and France out ofh [exico, all of whcich he says could easily he done .k in thre onaitls" Theis is the samea limit of. this Bombastes Furinso to the -squelching of the So'uthern Rai ettion." . These are the main political points In the copy of the Herald before.us, nll-of which have probe. hly ben reformed and teensfarmed in various ways si-ce the 2d of December. One thing Is e,-ranin: the New Yurk ierutd ii smulfia.g the wind atrongly in the dtireetiomn taken iy the Lem. ocra.tict Party.

Not to conicude however in so nncharitih'e s frane of mind, we turn to a commuicntioan in the last-nanied sheet which can but awaken a thought ofyesdne . however we lateet the present war and ite nefarious authors: It is an aec.unt of the Fu. nerl Ob-egtuien of General Or.ona D. JAv.mia who was buried with military honors at Prir.ceton N. J , on the 20th December. He was a yoens and, gallant Brigadier in the Federal Army ant received his death-wound while leading the ad. vance at Frederi,:ksburg. That he shou:d have lifted his arm in what he conceived to be-an lion orable but what we know to ha an unholy cause is enough to make us of the South say, "lhe ha met the fate he ceurted and no let it be." Yet i is one of those outstanding instances which lringi to mind anew the conviction of the ineffable woe which this terrible war is bringing upon the whol American people. There is a settled gluom not hovering over tens of thousands of desolated home in the United States as well as in our Confederacy and yet the rancor of the oppressor overlooks o disregards the indignant resolve of the oppressed Would to Gad that Reason and Humanity coul open the eyes of all to the neessity of peace t the only terms that it can he hoped for: the inde pendence of each Confederation, to be followed b; such prosperity as each may carve out for itsel in the future by the might of its own resource and institutions.. But again to the first branch of our text;-"Nb York, Philadelphia & Co,,-the once mighty firs that humbuggad America, now tottering, w trust, to their fall, if fall they must as a sequenec of Southern independence. We do not say tha they must necessarily so fall; But we do say the they have forever forfeited all claims upon tih Southern Confederacy,. and it will be passin strange if they ever reassert those claims to an purpose.

It was startling even .to those who were at once able to attribute it to meteorological causes, occur ing s it did in the very face of the noonday's sun. Perhaps after all it was a sign.

Eniron: The Legislature before its late recess passed an Act, appropriating six hundred r housand dollars for the relief of the families of e the soldiors in the Confederate service. This was unquestionably a wise and charitab~le appropiria tion on the hart of the General Assembly, and In ordinary times, would be-sufcient without further o legislation. But it must he remembered that the spirit of e.rtortion and specularoa has extend-d to the p, oducers of the necessaries of life, and the price of provisions now is at least about three or four times greater than It was before the com wencement of the War. If. the necessaries of lifu are not sent to Augusta, to be sold 'or three times their home value, they Lire withheld firom sale in order that the supply being made scares, the demand may be more urgent and the price consequently higher.

There is not the slighttcat excuse, or justifira tion for the presuent high prices. Thure is an abundance of providiona in the coiuntay, and yet there is an upward tendency In prices.
