Cnosrs-Ilnzza, huzza, ?c., Patriotic Sentiments. 1- '~ilrnr.~J?Li'AN HARTRIDOE, member of ] Congress from Georgia, in a letter to his constituents, speaks- manly sentiments in 'the annexed extracts : Independence ii as dear and desi*able' now as it was when you first entered* upon this struggle; aye, far dearer; because of this contest has developed all the fiendish passions, and brought to light the iou! purposes of the people with whom you are at'war, and bas proved the wisdom of your action in severing your connection with them. They offer you no terms ex cept unconditional submission or extermi nation. vThoy openly avow their purpose to emancipate-your slaves, and bring you under a constitution charged, to suit their own views. There is no hope for you in submission or compromise. You cannot resume ytfur position in the Union, .upon; tho same footing you formerly occupied. A powerful and fanatical majority will control the affairs of the nation to your degrafolioasaud ruin. No paper guaran ties or Constitutional clauses can protect you. That position would your repre sentatives occupy in the Federal Con gress 1 No men of honor or self resoect would expose themselves to the insults and contumely that would be hear?d upon them. Picture to yourselves the recep tion they would meet with from a sneer ingjiuid exulting majority, looking with contempt upon the representatives of a conquered people. What service could they render you against the encroach ments of a majority who hare shown that they pay nb regard to the sanctity of a Constitution? Our only hope is in the attain ment of our independence. And I firmly believe, my countrymen, that th?3 glorious result is in store for us. God,_ in his- wisdom, may see fit to afflict us with more and greater miseries; but never will he .desert a cause sa -pure and just as ours, and sanctified by the blood of so many patriot martyrs. We can not and will" not fail. In the vocabulary of freemon, straggling for all the rights which aro dearest to man, and incited by such glorious exem plars as have illustrated-ac-ur history, there is no such word as fail. There is no just reason for despondency. The enemy is no nearer the attainment of his object to-day than he was .four- years ago. The capital of your efcntry 'still stands proud .and defiant, surrounded by the gallant sous of every State in the Con federacy. The army under Hood is "still powerful and unconquered, in spite of the boasts and false dispatches of the .en emy. Although the enemy occupy the seaport of Georgia, the whole of the in terior i? freed from their presence. Sher man's further advance will be contested inch by inch, and I trust and believe suc cessfully.. Your 6<ans.and brothers in the field h.'vve no thought of sui mission. For years they have perilled -lihvniid limb in our cause. Let not us at b 'mc weaken .them by despondency and doubt. As TsDCSTRTot's LITTLE GIRL.-A ?tttlc girl ia Clarendon District, abolit elgin years of age, by -th? name of Ka uv wa asked the other'day by. ter sister in-law if she could.not spin ns many cuts of yarn in a day as she was years of agc. Imme-, ^diately her mother replied, that she could J *"pot, asthe task was too difficult. NeVer theless, little Kate, with a- determined mind, said she woura* try it the nent day. Sere-enough next morning, bright and early, little Kate was up to begin her day's task. At dark she came with her yarn for her mother to reel, and behold ! when reeled little""Kate had her eight cuts! Cannot some moro, of our little 'girls follow the example set by little Kate Clarenden Banner. ; .-?-.--* T) . The Bazaar. The Bazaar opened last night under the most favorable'.auspices, and suchen jam as.it proved to be, will long be feelingly j remembered by many who . experienced : its effects on their- persons. -^Barring the squeezing and pressing x>f the crowd,-and .the rather free manners*'of some of the boys, it was a most delightful and success ful affair. Prodigious amount* of money were expended,. aud all the purchasers were as much gratified in^eing relieved of it, as the fair venders were in rccejv ingit. The tables-were spread with ob jects of great beauty and fair value, and the restaurants abo?uded w;ith the most substantial as well as the daintiest food. Oysters only were lacking, owing to cer tain causes, which will soon be removed, when we hope they vrill be supplied. . We have seldom seen, even before the war, a more bountiful^ elegant and der lightful entertainment than the ladies have provided for us. The cheapness of their articles is remarkable, and the social oharacter of the. Bazaar -riot its ' least at tractive feature.-Columbia Guardian, 18th. > . ? WHO WOULD GO BACK ?-The . Selma .(Ala.) "Rebel" thus plainly describes the spirit of the miserable party who at this stage of the wat are willing to give up the contest :. They arc prepared for the restoration - of that rule which'four years-ago -had be come hateful, and which we harve shed so much blood, and made so many sacrifices to cast aside' They are ready "to forget the perfidious conduct of the "Northern people, while *ere w.efo" associated with them; their disregard of constitutional ob ligations and sacred compacts*, iJieir grasp ing avarice; their thieving propensities; their unceasing meddling with our insti tutions before the waf;-and the cold-blood ed, barbarous and unmanly traits they have exhibited since hostilities comntcne-. ed, and swear the oath of leaky" and alle giance to those whose garments are drip ping with the blood of our fathers and brothers slain in resisting their monstrous .and insolent effort to trample us in the dust of humiliation and subjection. They would forget the.burning wrong*-wc have suffered, the outrages our enemies have perpetrated, the remorseless and barbar ous cruelty, they have practiced upon the helpless and imoffenJing, our country des? olated, and our land dotted with the graves of our fallen heroes, to procure for them selves' an ignoblo and pu&ill'anioiis exemp tion from thc hardships, the dangers and sacrifices incident to the persistent and determined prosecution of th? war. One of the veteran and well tried divi sions of General Lee's army lately sent to that beloved chief and genera! a respect ful petition for permission, if "compatible with'the public interest and service, to be transferred for a while to the Southern coast; and iu this petition they said* " in Virginia, we have fought like men; but in South Caroliuaj we will light like lions." Such js the spirit of soldiers; and this is but a specimen of Lee's army, and of Hood's army, and of good,-.tried soldiers everywhere. lt is not surprising to any who know the spirit and character of our soldiers, and pf the best officers' and exemplars who have been with and before them, that such expressions and utterances should come from men who, fur inore than three years, hav?e followed Wade Hampton from his entering the war as a volunteer colonel to his present well earned place a--a general, preemiuelly distinguished as a cavalry leader, but excellently good for any arm.-Charleston Courier. THE "INFAMOUS SEVENTEEN.-Wc had j hoped that Georgia Would be spared the shame and disgrace which a few of her ( sons, in he? own seaport, have cast upon her fame. From the track of Sherman's ? desolating march through her borders from thc houseless women and children ] whom he has scattered from his path, no craven note is heard-no wail for re-un- -! ion with the hated foo. Bereft of proper- ! ty, home,-even of shelftr, these people are ' still true to the cause. Their love is even ! enhanced by the injuries they- have suf-1 fered,.and they look forward, hopefully, I for thc coming of the time (which God \ speeoil) when a righteous retribution shall ; overtake the despoilor. Butin Savannah, a city where intelligence, refinement and wealth have been dispensed with a boun tiful hand, where the first note of indepen dence was sounded in the State, where the chosen emblem of our nationality has been unceasingly displayed to the gaze of its citizens for four glorious years of na tional life-in this city a few men (and we thank God they aro so few) have bow ed down and worshipped theGoldon Calf.;. Encouraged By the roward, but not warn- " ed by the fate of -their base cxamplar, they have sold their birthright for a rness of pottage. They have given another Il lustration of the painful but historic truth that, in all ages of th?s world there are found men whose souls can be accurately estimated in dollars and cents, and who are ready to sacrifice liberty. Hpjior, eve rything that manhood holds sacred, if they be but permitted to pursue a peaceful path to unmolested and degraded opu lence. ? - We trust that Gov-iHBrown will take an early opportunity to spit upon , their base recommendation and to show them and the world that Georgia takes no C0un sel of her dishonored and recreant sons. -Columbus Times. MA"IM OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.-V cannot forbear to recommend a repeal of thc tax on the transportation of new-spa cer There is no resource ?:o firm fur the Government ns the ulK-elion of th,* ? people, guided by au enlightened policy j and to this primary good nothing c. u con duce more than a faithful representation ' of public proceedings diffused without re straint throughout the country. ' Capture of Fort Fisher. Night before last we went quietly tc bed satisfied that ?11 was right at Fori Fisher. Our attention, strained to th? utmost for days, flagged, and we went im mediately ta sleep. ?On yesterday morn, iug.we woke to find Fort Fisher captured, xis wc expected, G?n?ral Whiting fiwghl like ? paladin. ' Both he and Col. Laml are seriously wounded, and in the hands of the enemy. It is certain that generally the For! was fought with chivalric bravery. Tc this there were exceptions, . to which, al some future time ,we may allude 'as a matter of justice to others. We cannot say when that time may occur, * For the present it is enough for us tc know that Fort Fisher has fallen, that a division of infantry in" thc field were in gunshot'mid did not fire a gun..to save it, that vre know of, apd that heroic men like Whiting, Lamb,'and. others are prisoners -that the last port in the Confederacy is gone,' and Ihjf?- it ought to have been saved. Wo will not trust ourselves to^say more. If we said anything, we might pos sibly, give vent to our feelings. We do piace"the responsibility for our failure, but jf wo once commenced we might give too wide, a vent. . Our port ought not to have fallen. There, is a responsibility -that responsibility will hereafter ap pear. . So far as we can sec, the czerny can not get to the town. -We say:-" so far as vre.can see," for we place no reliance upon what we' cannot judge for ourselves. On Sunday nighty awfully tired, wc slept quietly, thinking that all was right, de pending upon an official despatch. Wc found the thing totally different. It is not our part to give advice to'our citizens. There are so many that, under any circumstances, cannot leave, while there are so many that, under any circum stances, mt?i leave, that no single rule could apply to all. Every man's con science must, be his own judge. We need hardly say what wc will clo, or. try to do -our course, we, presume, is anticipated'. We are Confederates. If we ??jose, why we lose. But we see no reason why i we, more than Mobile, should be taken. God only knows why our outer defences were ta ken; wc do not; we have lost many good and true friends, we may lose many more-. We fear that they were sacrificed. Such is thc impression we-havc derived from all we havcJieard and otherwise learned. There is'no doubt but that there is a strong excitement against Gen. Bragg. There can be no doubt either, that Gen. Bragg has attached to him thc prestige of bad luck. Unfortunately he always has that prestige. Permanent 'bad luck means permanent bad management, some where. A mau with this prestige ought nut to have been sent here. Some people never learn anything, and never forget anything; as, for instance, the Bourbons and the high old "Conserva lives" in this S'Ue, who, for once, did seem to cooperate with the Richmond cliques in maligning General Whiting, an i demanding somebody else. They ap pear to have'got their * desires gratified. Gen. Whiting is wounded and a prisoner. Is Gov. Vance perfectly satisfied 1 Ile, we know, was one of the agents in overriding, superseding and trying to ruiu Gen. Whi ting. Al) right, we suppose, in a party point of view.-Wilmington Journal, 17th. Since the fall of Fort Fisher there seems to be a lull in the war element, and quiet reigns along the lines. The fierce part of the combs* is yet to come. Elated with their success thus far, the Yankees will soon, . doubtless, put. foith ?mother effort to beat back our troops. With the reinforcements continually arriving, and the 'position our lines have assumed, wc trust his next effort will be. a futile one. North Carolinian,' 17th. FoitT C.YSW?J.I..-We leant that Fort Caswell has Been ovaeua'ed by'our troops; ir was. however, expected tilter thc fall of fisher, ns the holering of it-wuimi not bo if service to us, or its evacuation of any benefit to the enemy, and our forces lhere xwld be of more use elsewhere.-North Carolinian, 17th. COST OF TUB TORPEDO THAT DID NOT azc ar ?i* FORT FISHER.-Every appliance which-scicntific knowledge and ingenuity Souid. devis?-, and enterprise'and manly daring execute, were put in requisition to insure the success of this novel and im porlant feature of thc expedition. The boat selected for the purpose was the Louisiana, a propeller of about three hun dred tons burden. About one hundred and forty tons of powder, together with thc necessary Gomes fuses and other ap pliances for ensuring an inslancous igni tion of the vast masr, of powder that was put on board before the boat left Hamp ton Roads. One hundred and twenty tons moro of powder were added at Beau-, fort, where she put in on her way to the sceue of action, making, in all, two hun dred and sixty tons, or 520,000 pounds. The aggregate cost of powder-and boat to the Government WJIS slightly;in excess of a quarter of a million of dollar/. The boat wa?? painted white, her general ap pearance being not unlike that of a block ade runner-though, to do her atiict jus tie'*, a somewhat more respootabJe looking 'craft.-Cor. N. Y. Tribune. No BRA8?S FOR Di?pi'AiR.-Tue Mo bile " Trib?ne," after ? calm review of the situation, concludes thus : There have been darker days than this hanging over th^jjiiuse of ih% country, and light has presently come to ?t. \ few months Ot pat knee and effort, and we shall have the sunlight again. Wc have no very cheerful spirit in thus writing, for it pains one and produces gloom t<> sec how little trust some people exhibit under thc shadow of reverses. . Nothing good or great has come from such a temper. It is not that winch inspires the *P resident, or Gen. Lee, dr Gen. Beauregard, or a hundred leaders whom one might name. We have a reserved power, to hold up the hands ol' the men who a redoing hal lie, 'lue negro, discreetly . used, may .' justify ?he ways of God to man," ?ric1 shu'-1-' that wlut Christ approved?

RICHMOND, January 19.-In the House, to-day, Marshall's resolution, relative to-j cotton and tobacco, was adopted-yeas 43,'nays 31.. The Scnato joint resolutions of thanks to Gen. Stand Wittie, Col.

At thc expi ration of thc morning hour, Mr. Foote-, after.having been granted the privilege, rose and addressed the House for upwards of two hours. At the close .of his re marks, he asked leave of absence for two months,but subsequently withdrew the application.

A Washington telegram to the Philadelphia Inquirer, of thc.10th, says Blair-called upon the. President this evening and spent several hours there. To a gentleman who addressed him upon the subject, he remarked that he had an interview with Jeff. Davis, but what passed, he could not divulge to any onc'at present'except thc President; that his expedition was highly satisfactory and might bc known in proper time. Thomas was at Clifton, Wayne County, last Saturday. The roads are in very bad condition. in the ITousc of Representatives, on Monday, Cox offered a resolution in favor of the appointment of peace commission er?, which was laid on the table, by a vote of yeas 84, nays 51. Brigadier General Manigault, who re ceived quite a severe wound in the head, i the battle of Franklin, is now in Col mubia. T?rocgh the kindness of a gen tlcnun, who saw and conversed with the General thttre, we (ret some trustworthy and very gratifying accounts from* the West. General-Manigault left Hood's army on the 31st ult. -It was then on this side of Tennessee. He pronounces the current reports of t?e-bad cond'tion of the troops fo be totally without foundation. The army is a very 'large one, ann by no means demoralized. It is true, it needs rest, and ta also tn waut of clothes, shoes and full rations; but its spirit is unbroken, i's organization still intact, and its losses, considering the heavy work it has been through, are"surprisingly small. Forrest is-still with the army, and his^Jiole com mand, with their horses, are Sn excellent condition. Not a whisper of reconstruction, or of any peace short of independence, can be heard in thc army. MAKE CIULDBEN HAPPY.-Send your liitle child to bed happy.

Lips parched with thc world's fever will become dewy again al this thrill of youthful memories. Kiss your little child before it goes to sleep. -.? ? WOOL IS SCARCE.-A SunsirrfTE. My wife is using a substitute, which is cow hair. The process is, whip the hair clean from dirt and lime; wash and dry it well, and mix with cotton, spin fine or course as needed. It makes excellent gloves, socks blankets and men's clothing. Said to be warmer, heavier and more last ing thau wool. I expect to wear cow hair clothes this winter. Many ladies are do ing this, but all do not know ttl* this plan, and if thc editors through thc country would publish this, thousands of our sol diers this winter might be warmly clad. Hillsboro Recorder. SASSAFRAS.-An exchange pu per is" un der thc impression that in thc colonial j times sassafras ?vas an article of com ! tuerce. This is true; it was so largely ex ported to England that it was becoming a rival lo tea, and by the influence of the East ludia Company an act was passed, putting a stop to the trade. The blooms, or tcuder buds,'were gathered and dried for exportation, and these are said to make a better beverage then the bark. :m G. B.
