We all might do gcod, Whethsr lowly or great, For desert is not ganged By the purse cr estate ; .

The following article from the Charlottes ville Chronicle, while primarily directed at the farmers of Virginia, applies truthfully to those of post, if not all, parts of tho Con federacy : .. The behavior of the agricultural interest in this war has not contributed to the eviden ces of their superiority over thc townspeople. , The simplicity, openness, bountifulness which .we associatod with our country gentlemen and substantial farmers have been sharply colored by high wood, high- corn, high beef, high fowls, high butter, and high molasses. We bad been encouraged lo believe in thc towna, that the farmers were a comparatively sublimated taco, cultivated by their generous pursuits and their habitual contemplation of nature, into something superior to thc sordid frames that pervaded and prevailed more or less among people excited by commercial transactions aud demoralize.-? by business. Wc knew that merchants and lawyers made all they could, and had disciplined their con sciences by long exercises to have Jess sympa thy with thc circle of their friends than* with themselves. And a moro attentive observa tion of human society, since the inception of this war, Las persuaded us that farmers are no better than other people. They loo have som? weakness. Now* we notice, if a farmer has a turkey (although he may bc lord of a thout-^ud acre* and a hundred niggers)-he seems to give his mind to that, turkey, and selling him ia Richmond for- eighty dollars, with as little elevation of soi l as a mau who trades in mules, or takes your measure for 3'onr coat and pantaloons. It is true he is a landed proprietor; he has the orthodox opin ions about Southern Chivalry ; ho resembles' "rib?sownjudgmeMt the* old squirearchy" of j England ; he abhors ail sordid Yankee ways ; j* bc regards the Yankees as a nation of money getters ; but he wants to sell his turkey. And he intends to git eighty dollar*. This war was joined on the i ?SUO cf the Protection of our Slave Propcr:y. Thousands have died tu this .great end. Homes have been destroyed. 3iany hearts have been broken. Titi: net'roes have not been used in the war. Their masters have retained t hem to raise foud for the government, and make money for the owt-ers of the said slaves. And now the poor cry as loud for broad, and-t?o they get it ? "There is many a poor woman, whoso hus band-dear to her as the manorial lord io Lis fascinating lady-has been following the ctmp fres for three years. He has survived, per haps, fifteen or twenty battles-it may be has received a bullet or two. He gets fur his cervices eleven dolk-.rs by the m?ritb, and bis ca ptain's .servant gets thirty-five. A targe part cf the lime his feet have been on the ground, and in the winter nights he has often been cold. Behind bim be left bia family-a wife and several children. He is doing battle for the institutions of the South-btu who hears those poor orphans cry for food ? There are a thousand cr twelve hundred persons in thc county of Albemarle receiving public charity. There are two or three thousand mere, who are too proud to ask it. From among these, many husbands, fathers, broib ers have lallen, u with their backs to the field, and their feet to the foe." Others expect the ordeal of the coming summer. These people have to give two or three hun dred dollars for a barrel of flour. Many of them we presume, do not oat meat. What is the duty of ?he farmers. ? It is to divide with the community. They have no right to make money when thc ship is leceivicg the enemy's broadsides. At least they should sustain the gallant tais who are fighting their battles. ?. Thia is not all. The large farmers are also exempted from military service. This is hard to bear, but we ought to bfcr it. Tho j ? demagogue could handle it with powerful ef- ' feet; but there was no help for it. The ne- i ^ ce&sity for feeding the army demand?} it. j I But while this much is conceded, fir the j 1 . country's sake, and Lr tbeir property's sake, i * to the farmers, tba people have thc right lo ' demand that their families shall le partaker i ? 1 of the food of thc land. Our soldiers, aud I ? our soldiers' families must be fed. J And nov/ to avoid all misconception, let us M not be understood as urging any complaints j ' against all farmers. There are many noble exception?; our. meaning ia thr.t as a class tb.-?y have not met tho public expectations. Thc recent tu:c bill is aa hit tance ot tho: partiality of our legi-duiion to thc agricultural j interest. A farmer's land is assessed at ?ts value tn ISC?, a;:d he pays 5 per eent. on it. But the per?ou v.hi-s; property ia in bank | ?stock, or iusucance st .; !:, has his stock a-?-ess j ed at its value in i HG4, and pay ? ? per cc:<t. on that valuation. In other words, ai the ?

Dodd, formerly a merchant of Little R*-ck. ' . Air. Dodd had n short time previous to the execution of his son, removed his family from Little Rock, and had gent his son b*ck on btisincs... While, there he gained important information in regard to the garrison and de fences of the city, and had hoted them in tel egraphic characters in his memorandum book. On kia way to Camden he was" met by a Fed eral scout, who eearched bim mid found tho fated book. Ho was taken to Little Rock, tried by court marti?;], and sentenced to bo bung as a spy. Previous to his execution, Generals Steele and Davidsou both conversed with him, assuring him of thoir sympathy on account ol bis extreme youth. And n<t they knew some one intimate about their headquar ters hud given him the information, they proffered to releasehim on condition he would divulge the name of his informant. This he scorned to do, saying if a wrong had been committed he was the guilty one, and l< that a man that would not die for his principles was not fit to live." When brought to the scaffold he steadily ascended it, calmly pulled off his coat, and m'it bis fate without a shudder. Two boure befure his execution herr?te, with a steady hand, his--last letter" to his parents and sis ters, telling them not to weep for him, but to meet him iu Heaven. Seldom do such in stances of pure, disinterested patriotism occur. Never will a grateful people fort;et the memo; rica of the noble dead who hare freely offer ed their lives for their couutry, and there are none whoso cami's will be more gratefully embalmed than tho subject of this memoir. Rather thnn betray bia friends lie preferred death, and thereby crowned h?3 name with immortal honor. Such are the foes we have lo contend against. This arid a thousand other instances of their fiendish work ought to awake every Southern heart to eternal resistance. Tue pen caa never fully describe r.ke foul deeds of Sherman's outlaws on their raid to Meridian.-Mississippian. This young hero wau a member of the ttth Texas cavalry, one of the most gallant '.'cgi-. ment? i? the service. We ic-ol assured that the rangers will exact a fearful settlement in blood for their young comrade. Many, a Yankee,, who, but for this ex?cution, would be taken prisoner, will bc made lo bite the dust. The gallant Texans have long memo ries and good revolvers. They pay these kind of debts with compound interest. Wo predict that at least one* hundred Yankees will ?ie a sacrifice to the memory of David Owen Dode1. Four Per Cent. Bonds." In our last isrue, we published- n despatch from Secretary Memuiipger, in which be re ferred to the Richmond Sentinel, of the 23d oat., for an authoritative statement with referenco to the transferability of the four per cent, bonds. Thc following is the article n question. It will be seen that the poiut which- we raised the other- da}' as to .the jiving of change by the tax collector is also lecided : . As some uncertainty and even misappie ittisio;; exists a? to the trausferr&hllity of he ?our per cent, certificates now being issued inder the recent-Currency Act, the following itatemeut, which wo make upon full inibrriTa ion from the Treasury Department, end by ts desire, will be acceptable to the public.

Cheerful Sign? in Kentucky. * The Lexington (Ky,) lieyorler, of the 12th. inst., liss a brief, but vciy. animated report of a speech of Col. Frank Wo?ford, of Ken tucky, of the TJnited'Stafcs nrrny,. which for Iks outspoken, darin'-' urtF independent de nunciation of the " powers that be" at. Wash ington, is not second to thc hitter and scath ing invectives of Vnllaridigham. Col. W.has been ia the Federal'service fer three years, and has borne himself as true to the North, Kentuckian as he is, as thc most ultra North man could desire. In referring to the recent order for thc. enrollment of negroes in Ken tucky, the Colono!, denounced it as unconsti tutional, and said : It was but another of thc" series of startliWJ? usurpations of power which wrrc being niadt ; and he said it was the duty of tho people of J Kentucky to resist it ns a violation of their guaranteed rights. If they were overpowered by force, in th?ir rtfuaul to ohey this order, then lie advised them to appeal to the law protection; and he r/as mistaken in tho Gov enor of ibe State whom he had known long and .intimately (Gov. Braral?tie occupied a position on thc plsnfonn with thc speaker, having come up especially for the purpose of j hearing him,) if be did not protect them in their constitutional rights. If, when the p:-o plo of Kentucky appealed to .thc law for pro tection from this unconstitutional edict, Mr. Lincoln persisted in enforcing it, Uk would himself be the rebel,-and not thc people ?fj Kentucky. He would by no means/ offer resistance to this unconstitutional order to thc end of I throwing thc State inlo'secession, 4>ut wheo. Kentucky had fulfilled; all ber duties and ob ligations to the Federal Government, was loy al to thc Constitution and laws of the land, and intended so to remain, she had a right to demand that her Constitution, and the rights of her people under it, rhould he respected, and he believed t?>at .Gov. Bramlette would see that they were respected. He added at the same time that, while he hud no idea of) ?giving up his Government, or quitting its ser vico, by reason of the unconstitutional and impolitic enrollment of negrees, and that they ?.hould ncit?-er<jg|fl?t to him nor would he to them, yet as aKTOiueky freeman he had a clear opiuion on this subject, ai.d did not hes itate to express it. Thu people c f Kentucky did not want to keep s;ep to the^' music ' of I thc Union." ?loiipside of n<-gr? soldiers, lt j was an insult and a degradation for which their Jr*e and manly spirits wore not prepar ed, while it involved af. the same time an in fraction of the rights of tho Stuto whfcB it was tho duty of the Governor, under his oath to support thu Constitution and tee the laws faithfully executed, lo resist with ali thc con stitutional power of the Common wealth. Cul.
