Soldiers) Juat Retnraed.
Lieut W. H. BKUHBO.N of Cu.l?D, 14th Rogt.,
?rho wus so painfully wvueded befero Richmond
a year ago, 'celebrates the anniversary of that
event by returning heme with antilict hole through
each thigh-which pleasant punctures he received
from the bands of the Yankees nt Gettysburg.
The friends of this intrepid soldier will be glad to
hear that his wounds are doing Wall, ?nd that he
is already getting about a little on his crutches.
Mr. W. S. COVAU, son of our old townsman,
Mr. SnKititT Covan, has also just got home from
Virginia; ho has boeu brought low by typhoid
pneumonia, but "Heme, swoetHouu" has already
set him upou his feet.
Thou shalt not Croak !
. ?.
We manufacture ? now commandment to suit
the times. Our country abounds with croakers ;
they are as plenty as the frogs that were sent te
visit rebellious Pharaoh who reigned over the
land of Egypt The record ef these Egyptian
croakers however, dees not show that th ay kept
up by any means so incessant and discordant a
s-ron ?do as our white-livered Confederate perform
ers. These latter aro creaking in every style of
voice from tho highest iopranodoicn to the luwesi
butta pro/undo ; and what is werse, they have
been on the cr??e??d?? moli? ever since the fall of
Vicksburg.
Th.:y see every thiug in a distorted form, and
all adverse news is magnified tea fold; the ab
sence of news is interpreted by them te indicato
fearful disaster and they insist upon drinking the'
cup of woe to its vary dregs. They exclaim : I
xiii drown, and no man shall save mo. If the
army makes a retrograde movement, thoy at once
infer disastrous results as haring happened, or
about to happen*; if we get no news at all, they
are then positive that irretrievable disasters hara
befallen us-that the whole Confederacy is aani
hilated-that there bas been a general smash-up
North, South, East and West
If Gen. Lee does not telegraph that he has
changed bis shirt, er Gen. JOBXSTOM that he has
had hi* buwts cleaned, or'Gel; BKAOO that he has
washed bis feet, they at once imagine that the
shirt, thc boote and the feet, with their respective
owners, have become lawful booty of the Yan? .
kees.
Our eau; j is not lost nor endangered by the
fall of Vicksburg, if the Government and people
will now set about hand and "aeart to repair the
damage and drive back the invader. If Vicks
burg had imrrendored a year age, tho disaster
would not Lave been considered half as crushing
as either tho fall of Lonelson er New Orleans ;
and it is to ba doubted to day, when considered
ju any but a maral point of view, in Its effects
upon tho enemy and upon our own people, whether
the lossof that city is a greater disadvantage io
us in a military aspect than many similar discom
fitures during this war. We'will continue te have
dasbiug leadors on both sides of tho Mississippi,
who with halterios and sharpshooters on thc bar.ks
of the river, tim auuoy the boats and troops pass
ing down, to an ?xtoct which wili render tho trip
more precarious tbau profitable. Neither dovsMs
bile necessarily fall, from theoapture of Vicksburg.
Naturally a defensible position, and difficult of
access by laud and water, we do not -iee that with
proper rosu'uiiou and preparation un tho part of
its citizens and the authorities, why it will not be
able to make as successful a resistance as Rich
mond or Charleston. Why then cronk ?
'TU true that Gen. LBS has entered Pennsylva
nia, and after the severest battle of the war, has
?eon forced to fall back-bas recrossed the Poto
mac and is again on the soil ef Virginia. The
result so far as we are able' to judge from the
lights before us, has not iucroased either our
moral or material strength. Our confidence,
however, in our great leader and the noble army
he commands is unabated, and what has boen
done may all be for the best. Vo at least ought
to wait and seo-and not croak.
Charleston has not Mian, ner lo we beliero it
wilt fall. Butif it should, the truo and bravo
will seo in such a caiualty, cause for renewed aid
increased effort, and will redouble their resolution
to drive tho iuvader from tba soil. A blow like
that should call into action all the spirit uf the
country, and our peoplo should then let it bo seen
that they have not yet done all they are capable
of doing.
Every thing depends now upon the oolerity and
rigor of eur movements. If (he people allow
themselves to bo frightened oat of their wits into
x disgraceful panic, they may be sure the military
will partake of their fears, and the whole become
i confused and disjointed mass, at the pray of the
?rell organised forces of the enemy ; but if tho
?eople are calm and true, standing firmly by their
.uns, and yielding a ready assistance to the au
horities, all will come out of the struggle with
i glor?oc s consciousness that they have acted as
lecome the descendants of th* patriots of '76, and
viii deserve the success with which the God of
>attles neror yet failed to crown the efforts of a
>e?ple who remained faithful to a good cause.
In coaclnnion, wo would suggest that the publie
rill eave itself much disquietude and discomfort,
f it will refuse to believe reports put afloat and
:ept in'circnlation by faint-hearted aud white
tverod croakers ; and wait the reception of news
brough thc regular ohannels. If the news is c

Edgerielld Female Institute.
Mn. EB ITO r.: Will you allow mo? small space
in your paper fer a few words te the former pat
rons of the Edgufield Female Institute. The his
tory of this rcbool for the last four years has
been full of anxiety, disappointment and sndnOs.
I would not murmur against the Good Being who
has ordered it thus. I would rather thank Him
for bis graeiou? help, by which I was enabled to.
continue the school under many and serious em
barrassments. '.? feel deeply indebted to.those
patrons and pupils who always git TO their confi
dence and hearty co-operation. Kind friends, I
thauk you from my heart, for the sjinpathy, goad
wishes, and help, which made tho bardon io' much
lighter,
I am sadly conscious that the hopes which first
brightened thc enterprise, ind the plans which
aimed at enlarged usoftilne.is, have net been real
ized, but we.did all that the strength and resources
at command would permit. If Providence had
granted the accomplishment of all that was in the
heart of tho oat nest laborer, who was willing to
enduro and did endure anxiety, toil, and sacrifice
io the oausc of oducation, many would have re
joiced and bleu ad his natue. Of him I may write
with an honest pen, " h? did what ho could." Bul,
?hall tho many unfavorable cirouinstancos of the
past, causa us to despair of success 7 Will the
friends of this Institution cease to hope that it
may yet become what it was designed to be,
a blessing and an ornament to the- Village and
District ? True, " the workmon die," but, " thc
work goes on." Let thii work go on. For my
own part, I am more anxious than- ever that this
School should do the work that is so muoh needed
in EdgeCeld District, and I am even more hopoful
than cvor that FI may establish here upon a ?er
mattest basis, aa institution-that shall furnish at
home evury desirable facility for securing a liber
al education. Tho reasons for this hopo, and the
method by which it may be realircd, I will, with
your permission, Mr. Editor, state at a future
time. In tho m san while, I mk you to think on
the subject, aud lend the help which you so well
know how to give.

The New York Riet-The Drnft to bc
Enforced.
The New York Herald ot the 18th instant
gives thc following:
The great riot ir. Now Yurk had been for
thc time suppressed, and tue draft was to le
enforced.
The Herald say? : "Almost perfrct order
reigned throughout the whole city yesterday.
The wards whore the highest excitement bad
prevailed, were lilied with large. bodies of
inililury, who patrolled the streets entirely
unn>ole-*led by the populace."
Mayer Opdj'Jce bad issued a proclamation,
in which he fays, the riotous assemblages
having beon dispersed, business is running in
its u.xual channels. The people aro warned
ngainrt unlawful combinations, having for
their object the usurpation of thu laws ; io
give no heed to persons warning them to de
sist from their occupations ; but to arrest
such persons for punishment as conspirators.
Tho Provost Marshal General had issued
new orders from Washington, as follows:
*' Provost Marshals are informed that no
orders have been issued countermanding the
draft.
" Adequate forc? has boon ordered by the
Government to the points where the proceed
ings have been . interrupted- Provost Mar
shals will bo sustained by the military forces
-of-the country in enforcing the . dra?rr?! ac
cordance with the laws of the ?Yitcl Stat?'*,
and will proceed to execute the order hereto
fore given for the draft, a) rapidly as shill
be practicable by aid of the military forces
ordered toco-operate with and protect them."
The Herald's correspondent's dispatch from
Washinglou, dated the 17th, says: *'iiiuica
li JS at e as thick as leaves in Valainbro.-da
that the Gorernment intends td carry out the
conHcription at whatever cost. It is whisper
ed that, under the great and momentous n?*e"d
of enforcing thc draft, the hiph administrative
abilities of General Butler will becalled tutu
.requisition.
" General Seymour's short words to the dis
turbers of the public peace are severely re
probated here."
