Why Is it many are disposed to denounce
(the efforts that are being made to direct
.public opinion, through tlio medium of the

fair opportunity of aeeing tbe crops. 1 1

have had respect for tbe resolutions passed
by the Governor and Council and the an*
ticipated wants of the families of our poor
eoldier, who are in the army, and acted
accordingly. I see, however, some have
planted large crops of cotton ; they are
large planters, who bare thousands at

Mr Editor.?Having had occasion re*
gramme is to buy up the slaves of the |
border Stales, in the meantime hoping to
tlarve us out by a protracted war; but
we will be able to thwart him in this, if
we make a proper use of our peculiar institution;
by it we will be able to put a
sufficient force in the field to meet any
the enemy can bring, without producing
a famin in his own borders. Therefore,
all of the labor which we command should
be applied in the right direction, then it
will prove a blessing to us, and I will say
in conclusion to those having control of
o
tbe labor of this class, let the cry for
bread by tbe families of our soldiers ever

"The Great West"
There is, very evidently, in tbe West,
and particularly in Ohio, Indiana and II1
linois, a strong opposition to tbe present
war upon tbe South. Tbe tone of tbe
press of those States, tbe public meetings
and tbe Democratic conventions, all prove
this,-conclusively. This feeling does not
display itself as boldly opposed to the war
rxrsc; but assumes tbe form of opposi
lion to Abolitionism, coercion, and subju
Ration. It would not be safe to exhibit it
atberwise; for, io tbe event, tbe individusis
giving expression to it would soou find
themselves incarcerated within tbe walls
of some Yankee baslile, and their opposition
thus speedily and effectually crushed
out. Bui by professing devotion to the
Union, tbe Constitution, and the Admin
stralion of Abraham Lincoln, they can
organize thoroughly for work, and thue
lecure a way to triumph in tbe approach
ng Fall electioas. Whether, so far as we
ire concerned, this amounts to anythiog
>r not, we will not pretend to sa^;* but |
if one thing there can be no doubt; there ,
i no longer a united North?but divided ,
ounsels everywhere prevail, and *'Con ,
ervatism" now dares to raise its head, <
rbere, a few shore months ago, its ex.
ression would have been followed with r
lie severest punishment. j T
This Conservatism, however, is pretty [
iucU confined '.o the great West, where p
le light of freedom has not yet entirely t;
eparted, and where men still dare, some tj
mes, to speak, act, and reason for them- a
jvles. In witness of this, we refer to
>me recent extracts from Western papers g
bich we have published, anJ to the pro- ?
iedings of the Indiana Democratic Com r
eniion, on the 20tb July last. c
In that Convention, all the speakers (
enounced the Abolitionists unsparingly 0
nd condemn Lincoln's emancipation ?
olicy severely. Mr. Wyckliffe, of Ken. ,
uckv, is reported to have said, that be ^
ras "for the Union, if the 8outh and t
lavery were not interfered with ; but if ,
he war was waged to free the slaves, not |
mother drop of blood ought to be spill. ,
id." "Your Lovejoys*, Phillips', and (
ireoleya' say they can't fight thia fight (
iny longer, unlet* you will arm the nig ,
;ers. Will you ever content to thia !"
Cries of "No 1 never !] "I have already
laid that slavery was the cause of the
ebellion." "The Constitution, with its
prohibitions, Us guarantees, and its reitrictions,
has been no more regarded by
the party now in power, than you do a
last year's almanac." "I am for a white
inao's war against the Abolitionists."
Mr. Carlisle, of Pennsylvania said :
"No other war than such as was recog
nized in the resolutions of the extra ses
ion, a year ago, could be justified by the
civi'ization and Christianity of the age?a
war, not for conquest or subjugation, but
for restoration of peace. The instant we
divert it from such ends, then we place
ourselves side by side with the rebels."
"The policy inaugurate!] by them will
continue the war forever, and bring you
under a military deepotiam.
"The subjugation or extermination of
the Soutb waa impoeaible. He taid that
the inlereata of the Western Slates were
with (be 9oulh. There was their grain
market?"you have a northern market
the same aa ever; but your corn is rotting
in your granaries, and you walk on the
ruina of your proaperty. Free the nig
{era exterminate the whites, and give '.lie
land to the Yankee Norway rata, and
you ii never nave a market tnere. "indiaoa
wn more interested (ban slaveowners
themselves in perpetuating slavery
io the Mouth." '"To free four millions
blacks will be to keep up taxation, increase
debt, ruio properly, degrade our
children, and make tbia country a second
Mexico."
Mr. IjLiebwdeon, of Iliioois, followed in
tbe same strain. IJe **id :
"If the &epublican party is retained in
power the Government is gone forev.er. Op
ly in conservative pueo is ibsrpppy sa(ety.
Ma daws eased tbe President's emancipa
tiep eAswse as calculated to enslave t,ha
wbite while freeing the black, and insist- 1
ing that New England was making nil
the money, holding all the contracts, and j
escaping with fewer soldiers m the field,
and lighter burdens of taxation than the
West. "We are made their hewers of'
wood and drawers of water, while they
run the nigger exclusve.y for money."
This is, certainly, very plain talk, and i
shows clearly that the "great West" is !
by no means bound to lire car of the
grasping cunning East. Her interests,
says one of the speakers, are with the
South; and, we may add, if she would
only act upon this idea, she might by
cuting loose from her Eastern master, so
cure her prosperity now and forever.
Mr. Yallandinuhatn, in one of his
speeches in Congress, said ; "'I'llera is h
West J" Tl^e words were, perhaps, oni
nious; and the "begining of the end,"
which so many hearts are anxiously beat
iDg to witness, may have commenced in
the facts and sentiments to which we
have alluded.
A meeting in llutler county, Ohio, has
also declared that "The Federal Government
should be taught that the Great
West will not permit itself to he utterly
ruined and impoverished bv a partial
Congress 1"
Ller obvious policy then is, as we have
already intimated, to cut loose from the
North and East ; and if alio will not unite
her destiny with that of the Southern
Conlederacy, at least establish a bond of
peace and unity with it, by which means
she may be able to retain her trade with
the South, and become, really and truly,
"the Great West "?Charlotte Bulletin.
The Affair at Malvern Hill.
An otlicer who participated in the af
fail at Malvern Llil.' has furnished us with
the following particulars with reference
o the occupancy of that point by the
meiny, and its subsequent recovery by
mr forces under Gen. Long&treet :
On Tuesday moruing the 8th Georgia 1
egiment Captain Dawson commanding. '
vas moved up from New Market 1
ieights to relieve the I7ih, then on
at Malvern Ilill. On the inarch '
hey were met by several couriers, ata- (
ing that the enemy were in large force c
dvancing upon the bill and in its imme
iate vicinity. The reports of artillery
ave evidence that a brisk engagement ^
as goiog on. Wben the 8lh Georgia
eached the base of the bill the announ- (
einent was made by several couriers to ,
/apt. Dawson, that the ammunition of
ur pieces was exhausted, and that the
irtillery at the post, and the 17tl?, were
urrounded. Capt. D. immediately dia
latched a courier to the commandant of
he 17th, that he had formed his regi
nent in line of battle at the base of the
lill, and would protect their retreat, and
:o come off at all hazards. With artilleryplaying
upon one flank and a cavalry
charge upon the other, they left the hill,
and aucceeded in making good their te
treat, bringing off all their pieces, and
only losing one caisson that was torn to
pieces in the fight. Some eight or nine
of the 17th had previously been captured
while picketing.
Three members of the srtillery were
LIIU.I -rwt I .... 1<?. i I
and 80 of tlie enemy are supposed to
have been killed. About one mde from
the base of the hill, the 8th Georg'a whs
overtaken by the enemy's cavalry and j
artillery. So soon as it was discovered,
the regiment was drawn up in line of
battle, which checked the advance of the
foe. The regiment then moved back in
to a cornfield, and under cover of the
corn and intervening hills the retreat wan
effected with the loss of one man of the
regiment, who was raptured. The regi
ment continued to fall back till it came
within a short distance of New Market
heights. About 3 o'clock the same regiment
received orders to advunce again
through a thick woods on the left of the
river road, with a view to feel the enemy.
They advaored about two miles, when \
their skirmishers were tired upon by the
enemy, simultaneously with a charge of
(he enemy's cavalry upor. our cavalry.?
Our cavalry fell back, but the regiment
continued to respond to the tire of the
enemy for tome ten minutes, when the
firing ceased. Falling back, the cavalry
and infantry took position at an eligible
position about 400 yards in rear of the
woods. The enemy made no further demonstration
on that day, bavir,y full possession
of the hill.
On Wednesday morning at daylight
the corps of Geo. Longstrset was moved
forward, and encamped that night with- |
in half a mile of the bill, the day having
been spent in reoonnoitering. On Thurs ;
day, about 12 o'clo.k, tba corps ad
vanced and took possesaioo of tba bill
without firing gun, tba enemy having
evacuated the night before, about 12 o'clock.
The number of the enemy was
estimated at from 15,000 to 30,000 ?
Several prisoners were taken, among
them two sentinels, who were on the top
of the house on the summit of the hill.?
Considerable supplies of coffee, meat,
crackers, <feo., were left by the enemy, in
dicating that they had evacuated under
evident alarm. ? Richmond Dixjxitch.
Reports of Prisoners.
KNLISTMKNT8 AT TIIK SOUTH.
The Richmond Dispatch says :
Some of the exchanged prisoners from
Fort Warren (Huston harbor) slate that
previous to their departure for the South,
lliev had good opportunities of learning
the facts in regard to enlistments in tlie
Federal army, and they fully confirm the
accounts heretofore received from various
sources. In the city of Boston slupend
ous efforts have been made to stimulate
volunteering, but thus far without practi
cal result. Meetings of citizens are held
almost daily-, and money is liberally sub
scribed to the bounty (und; yet even this
hail fails to tempt the poorer classes, who
frequently answer the appeals to their pa
triotisin by asking the wealthy men why
they do not sefc an ex ample l-y enlisting
themselves. In some instances these meetings
have broken up in regular rows.?
Criminal* have been released from prison
on condition of their joining the army,
and every possible subterfuge is resorted
to in the hope of avoiding h general draft;
but tlio impression is that the quota of
Massachusetts cannot be furnished by any
other tni-ans, and hence the newspapers
are laboring to conrince the public tnind
of the peculiar advantages of a measure
which tire masses universally condemn.
A statement lias been put in circulation
that thirty thousand men have already
volunteered in the several States, hut this
was so utterly at variance with the truth
that a New Yoih journal refused to give
it currency, and came out with a Hat con*
.radilion.
The guard over the prisoners at Fort

Among the exchanged prisoners from
Fort Delaware who have arrived licre is
Jos. McMurran, of the 4ik Virginia regiment,
captured at Kernslown. Lie agrees
with his companion* that the treatment
of Confederate soldiers was brutal in the
extreme. The officers and soldiers in im
mediate contact with the prisoners were
Dutch, and their brutality to our men
was without mitigation. In return, our
men say that there won't be any more
Pennsylvania Dutchmen taken prisoners
by them during this war. Striking a
prisoner over the head or running n bayonet
at hiin was a common occurrence.
A Dutch Provost Marshal, named Segebarth,
exce'led his brother brutes in maltreating
the prisoners. A dungeon, made
to (itwiuwunvn tnrcr men, <?bttrvi I'nniHliiCd
fourteen, and lli?*ir sufferings were very
greet. The fere w*8 bread and a very
small piece of Malt pork twice a day, and
bean aonp of about tiie consistency of
water. Nearly two thirds of the men bad
acurvy. The general determination of
the exchanged prisonei* is to be shot be
fore they will again be taken and under'
go the miseries of a Northern prison.?
Just before the prisoners left Fort l>elaware
the following order from the War
Department was read :
[Extract]
When a general exchange shall be es
lablished, those prisoners who are willing
to take the oath of allegiance, and as to
whose loyalty there is no question, will
not be forced into the rebel lines.

Out of nearly 4000 prisoners only a
little over 300 availed themselves of this

The "Irrepressible Conflict" in New
York?Riot Between White* and
Black*.
In lirooklyn, N. Y., on the 4lb inst, *
serious riot occurred between n number
of Irish laborers and the negro workmen
i in the tobacco factories. The negroes
! had been very insolent for several days,
j The J feral J sa_\ s :
On Saturday last hostilities assumed
the first practical shape. On the afternoon
of that day one of the negroes employed
in Lorillard's tobacco factory was
standing in the doorway of Grady's liquor
store, on the opposite corner of the street,
' when a white man, who wauled to pass
| in, asked him quietly to gel out of the
way. The r.egro said lie would not, as
he had as good a right there ar "any
other man." The while man again
asked the negro to step one side, which
the latter gruffly refused to do, upon
which the former kicked him out of Ids
way. On seeing this, another colored
man ran across from Lorillard's with a
knife in his hand to stab the white man,
lull whs prevented from doing any injury
by a policeman who came up. This entied
the difficulty on Saturday.
Yesteiday morning a delegation of
white men went into Mr. Lorillard's factory
and insisted that negroes should not
he allowed to work there. Mr. Lonllard
said he would comply with lite request,
and slopped bis colored laborers from
working. About one o'clock in the af
lernoon over a thousand w Idle laborers,
I women and children, arsi-uibled in Ironl
of Mr. Watson's facsorv, armed with
clul?a, brickbats, stones, and olber miss
lies, and commenced a headlong assault
on the windows. Several policemen had
been previously secreted in the building
to protect the negro workmen in case of
the threatened attack. As soon, there
fore, as the rioters entered the door, they
endeavored to rush up to the second
story, where the negroes were. Here
they were met hy the policemen, who
succeeded in preventing their ascent.?
One of the assailants then set fire to a
pan of tar on the first floor, ami in an in'
slant all the wooden ?*otk about that
part of the building was in flames. The
fire was, however, speedily checked by
the police before much damage was done.
Finally, while a few policemen were holding
the rioters at bay, a large reinforce
merit arrived from the 42.1 43d 44lbt>
and 50ih precincts, and those in the
building were ejected, when a genera',
row occurred between them and the police.
A negro attacked officer John Donnelly,
of the 4*3d precinct, thinking bo
| was going to arrest him, ar.d inflicted a
serious wound on his head with the side
of a bos. Sergeant Wright got badly
cut during tbeW/ce in the shoulder with
a pitchfork.
At this juncture a voice out, "Boys,
set the bloody building on fire and burn
the damn niggers." This was received
with the wildest shouts of approval by
the crowd, who again surged toward the
premises with the intention of carrying
out the advice that had been given them;
but. n.;twillis(aiiif mtr the ?hr??<.r? iJ

stunts, bnc1"hats, dec , the police plied
their clubs vigorously, and the intention
was frustrated Someone or two of the
negroes got badly hit in the row ; but all
the rest were well protected by the po
lice, who sent theai away in all directions
to avoid further trouble.
The inevitable drafting order has at
last fallen on the North. Tbe following
is tbe document :

it wrong in a wife. Tbe love _

beauty should be for him alone, not for d?
the gaze of lha fools that flutter around Br

We have been advised that there is no l}

Cotton, provided the Cotton, either be*

to reach New York, and not fall into the
hands of British or French agents. Guar
antees to this effect, or even assurances j
made by the "underground rail road"
passengers, from this place to Nashville
and back, will ensure the passage, unino*
lasted, of any vessel bearing Cotton from
our coast to a designated port. If our
informant is correct, and we believe he is r
