X "EEST, WABBIOB, REST." \ Mr. Freno Massey, returned here or Monday last, with the body of his broth' er-in-law, T. Jackson Beard, who diec i tr* _r> J: at uuipepper, v irgima, 01 uiseasf; uoutracted in service, under Capt. Faris of Gaston County, N. C. Mr. Bearc has left a young family and many friends to mourn him. A few months ago, al the call of duty, he buckled his armoi on, but has fallen, not by the envenomed shaft of his country's enemy, but by the sure, and more trustful dispensation of an All-Wise Providence, who "shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will." Mr. B. was an industrious and moral young man, and will be much missed by his comrades, until the last trump shall x^sound a joyous reveille in Heavem/ THE WAE 8PIHIT. Notwithstanding the reverses, of late, our people are not dispirited. Our twelve month volunteers in Virginia, are generally re-enlisting, and many who have not, refuse only to enable then! to do service in their several States. It is remarkable that on the coasts, or near the scenes of action, force has often to be resorted to, to secure the public defence, while the interior pours forth its hosts, too often to fall the prey to heartless speculators, if not to Yankee vandals. Charleston has had to resort to a draft, while most of its Yankee and counter jumping population is sporting fancy uniforms, and the fatuous bloodless Fourth Brigade, numbering some 38 officers and 3 privates, guarded the Washington race-course. But, we suppose, such things must be, "God made the country, the people made the town." Orders have been issued for the organization of the State Militia, with a view, it is believed, of reinforcing the ^ ^ t i? j Ti. :r uomeaerate Army, uy urun, u vuiuuteers do not offer. Our District finds it an up-hill matter to elect a Major in the 34th, but this will hardly excuse anv remissness in the enumeration of those liable to service, as it will be the duty of the Adjutant General to make any necessary appointments. We hope, however, that York will not suffer a draft, but that companies will be immediately made up to replace those who are about to return : and with this view we call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Crosby and Eccles for a company, in our paper to-day. It behooves our people to be calm, self-possessed, brave, resolute and self-sacrificing. There is no time for division, heart-burnings and jealousies about offices. Let men be content to act well their parts, in the spheres assigned them by circumstances, and voice of their fellow-citizens. Volunteers have the privilege of electing their own officers. Let, then, companies be raised and organized by themselves, and report for duty without delay, and resolve, God being their helper, they will drive the insolent vandals from our borders, and never permit them to set their polluting feet on our soil for a single hour. We learn from the Charleston Mercury that the President has called for 5,000 more South Carolinians for the war. Charleston will have to furnish her share of this force, and York hers. We hope soon to chronicle the success of the present company, and several more on the return of "our boys'' in April next. A Proclamation By the President, to the People of the Confederate States. The termination of the Provisional Government offers a fitting occasion again to present ourselves in humiliation, prayer and thanksgiving before that God who has safely conducted us through the first year of our national existence. We have been enabled to lav anew the foundations of a free government, and to repel the efforts of our enemies tc destroy us. Law has everywhere reign ed supreme, ami throughout our wide spread limits personal liberty and pri vate rights have been dulv honored ; i O t v tone of earnest piety has pervaded oui people, and the hundred victories whicl we have obtained over our enemies hav< been justly ascribed to Him who ruletl the universe. We had hoped that the year woul< have closed upon a scene of continue* prosperity, but it has pleased the Su prerne Disposer of events to order i otherwise. We are not permitted t furnish an exception to the rule of Di vine government, which has prescribe^ affietion as the discipline of nations a well as of individuals. Our faith an perseverance must be tested, and th chastening which seemeth grieviouf will, if rightly received, bring forth it appropriate fruits. It is meet and right therefore, that we should repair to th only giver of all victories, and humblin ourselves before Him, should pray th? XTz? -moxr ctroncrflipn nur i XXt ~v.w..6?? . His mighty power and righteous judg ment; then may we surely trust in Hin that He will perform His promise, an encompass us as with a shield in th trust. And to this end, I, Jeeferson D: VIS, President of the Confederal States, do hereby set apart FRIDAY the twenty-eighth day of February ii stant, as a day of fasting, humiliatic and prayer; and I do hereby invite the reverend clergy and people of the Con: federate States to repair to their respective places of public worship, to humble themselves before Almighty God in : prayer, for His protection and favor to T our beloved country, and that we may * be saved from our enemies, and from the i hand of all that hate us. s Given under my hand and the seal of the Confederate States, at Richmond, this the twentieth day of February, A. D., 1862. By the President: : ^ JEFFERSON DAVIS, j Wm. M. Browne, Secretary of State, ' ad interim. i [by request.] To My Sisters of the Sunny Sonth? "Pray for Peace." } You have had appeal after appeal [ made to you in behalf of the soldiers, to all of which you have responded with 1 the promptness and patriotism of our ; natural ancestors of'76. Yet it is not enough; we would make | one more appeal upon your benevolence for the benefit of our sadly suffering mnut nnKla gnnloH onlflifvrs ThlS aim UIVCC 11V/I/1V WVMtvv* WVAV?*V? appeal will not, however, lighten your purses, but if faithfully complied with will, without a doubt, lay up for you treasure in Heaven. We call upon you to "pray for peace." As with one voice, let all of this lovely land unite ^and call upon "Our Father" to look with pity on our bleeding country. We do not mean to pray once a day or once a week, but like Holy Daniel, to send to Heaven with yon rising sun an appeal which cannot go unheard; at noonday's heat, when his soothing beams warm into life the spirit of the world, let the voice of prayer be heard; and at evening's sitting sun, when all is calm, and the twilight hours, formed so still to call us to a better world, then think of the suffering of the soldiers, far from home and friends, in crowded, cheerless hospitals; the lonely cot, the dying, without the sweet voice of females to cheer them on their way to the long, narrow home. The next that falls may be my brother, or, perhaps, "he who is nearer and dearer than a brother."? See their mangled wounds, the sorrow of the fevered brow; behold the agony , of that dying, faithful youth, who left his widowed mother to defend her rights, see the anguish on his noble brow, and pray for him. ( Little children "pray for peace," and , when ye pray forget not our Great , ; Master's command, pray for "our ene- . mies;" plead that He will illuminate] their minds to see the evil that they do, | and "that it is an honor for a man to , ceaae from strife." Pray for our ene- j mies, for He maketh llis sun to shine j upon the just and upon the unjust; let , our hands and hearts be raised to Hea- i ven, and stay them up, and verily Ama- ( hit shall not prevail; and glory be to \ God on High, and on Earth peace, goodwill, towards men. , Kate, "The Soldier's Friend." Inaugural Address of President Davis. ' Richmond, Feb. 22.?There has ( been a continuous rain all day. The ] Inaugural was delivered from the Washington Monument. The President j said: | We have assembled to usher into ex-1j istence a Permanent Government, which j' we hope will be perpetual, upon princi- j pies inaugurated by our Revolutionary j fathers; and with mingled feelings of j humility and pride I appear, to take, in , the presence of these people and before Heaven, the oath prescribed for the ex- ( alted station to which the unanimous voice of the people has called me. j He referred to the long course of class < legislation which has been aggrandizing ! the North, and culminating in a warfare ' upon the institutions of the South, threatening to destroy State sovereign- ( tv, when six of those States withdrew from the Union, the better to secure! those liberties for which the Union was! established. Whatever hopes may have ! been entertained that a returning sense of justice would remove the danger ' threatening our rights and preserve the j Union, have been dispelled by the malignity and barbarities of the North in the prosecution of the existing war.? In proof of our sincerity to maintain our ancient institutions, we point to the Constitution of the Confederacy and the laws enacted ; and to back that, through all the necessity of an unequal struggle, no act on our part has impaired personal liberty or freedom of speech, thought or press. Every right of peaceful citizens has been maintained as securely as if a war of invasion did not disturb the land. The people of the States now confederated, became convinced that the United States had fallen into the hands of a sectional majority, which would destroy .every right which they were pledged to protect. They, therefore, determined to sever the bonds and establish a new Confederacy, homo* geous in interests, policy and feeling. ! True to our traditions of peace and I love of justice, we sent Commissioners ? to the United States to propose a fair and amicable settlement of all questions - nf rmhlin rtaht nr nrnn*?rtv whieh micrht r. _1 a... - be disputed. The Government at i Washington denied our right of selfr government, and refused to listen to i proposals of peaceful separation. 3 The first year of our history is eventi ful. A new government has been established over seven hundred thousand I square miles. Our Confederacy has 1 grown from six to eleven States, and - Maryland, when able to speak with unt denied voice, will unite her destinies r> with the South. Our people rallied - with an unexampled and unanimous support of the great principles of cons stitutional government, and with firm d resolve will perpetuate by arms the e rights thev could not peacefully secure. *, A million of men are now standing in s hostile array, waging a war along the t frontiers for thousands of miles. Batn tips have been fouerht and sieges con ,v ** ' C w g ducted, and although the contest is not it ended, and the tide for a moment is an gainst us, the final result in our favoi r- is not doubtful. He says the period is l. near at hand when our foes must sink d under the load of debt incurred, and w< is have had our trials and difficulties; bul any sacrifice will be cheap as the prict of success. Probably, by an ordinatior te of Providence, we may be taught tin l, value of our liberties by the price incur i- red, and the recollections of this greal in contest will be a bond of harmony ant endearing affection, producing unity in 1 policy, fraternity in sentiment and joint effort in war. Our past sacrifices, in consequence of the blockade of our ports, are developing the resources of a selfsupporting, independent people. It affords gratification to know that we have < maintained the war by our unaided ex- ' ertions, and have neither asked nor ob- i tained assistance from any quarter.? In conclusion, he invoked the blessings " -CP i._ 1 ot lieaven upon our euurus auu touoc, Nashville and Bowling Green. The editor of the Lynchburg Repub- , lican, who has gone out to Kentucky, , is writing interesting letters to his paper. We make some extracts from his letter, which will give some idea of "the situation" in Tennessee, and the de fence of some of the points that are now , threatened. Writing from Nashville, he says: Though a large and in many respects ] an inviting city?the capital of the \ State, and not far removed from the j Northern invasion?yet, strange to say, not the first preparation seems to have i been made for its successful defence.? , Bowling Green protected it in one di- | rection, and Fort Donelson in another, j but the fall of either of these places ex- j poses the city to the speedy tread of ] the Hessian columns. It seems never j to have entered the heads of its people < that danger was only a few miles from j their doors, and at any unguarded mo- | ment might pollute their hearthstones , and despoil their prized city. Active | preparations for defence are now ma- j king, fortifications are being erected, j and obstructions thrown in the river { below the city, so that in a day or so it j is thought the Lincoln gunboats will beunable to bombard the city, even should ] Fort Donelson fall. Large and enthu- i siastic public meetings are being held ] every night, the militia is drilled every day, and, if the city shall be doomed to fall in the hazards of the war, it will only be abandoned after a heroic de- t fence. The government stores are be- \ ing fast removed to the interior, and t many families are packing up, ready for instant exit in case of attack. c The Tennessee river is an important r stream, penetrating this State and a t portion of Alabama, and is navigable \ for steamers for two or three hundred 1 miles ; yet nothing stands in the way 9f the enemy's advance along this 1 3tream but the weak and imperfectly a constructed fort. The Cumberland is a mother very important river, and the 1 key to Nashville, but nothing stands in i. L^~ ? ?~ AVVAW.W AAtTA . V Lilt? W IIV U1 I lie CI1C1UJ xuiv x/ vn" w *lson. If that should fall, Lincoln's z iron-clad steamers can reach Nashville ] in six or eight hours, and destroy the a sity. And when this is done, Bowling Glreen becomes untenable, and the whole t )f our labor and expenditure there turns d to dead sea fruit. a In a letter from Bowling Green he o writes : h Recent events have sadly changed the state of things at this point. Be- c fore reaching here, I observed all along I the turnpike, running parallel with the b railroad, long trains of wagons and I crowded columns of Infantry and artil- g lery, slowly retiring upon Isashville.? r Bowling Green has been evacuated and Abandoned. A portion of our troops t ire falling back upon Nashville as I I leave, and a portion of them have gone ( in another direction, which it may be imprudent to mention at this time. As we reached the depot everything was in commotion. All civilians were ex - - . c eluded from the return trains, to give k place to sick soldiers and defenceless ^ women and children who were fleeing g from their homes to places of greater J safety. The movements, however, were ^ ill conducted in a most orderly and a quiet way, and showed that they were t dictated by cool wisdom and devoted F patriotism, and not by panic and fear. T Bowling Green is a beautiful town, of about three thousand inhabitants, and ^ the whole country between this place c and Nashville is one of the finest, most ? cultivated and productive I have seen outside of Virginia. There are several Union traitors in 3 this place, and last night they showed 1 their fiendish exultation at the depart- 1 ure of our troops, by setting fire to a r large portion of the village occupied by secessionists. Several buildings were * consumed. * . Latest from Europe. NkIv York, Feb. 19.?The steamer Kangaroo, from Liverpool, has arrived with additional intelligence from Eu- ] ~ o rope. i At the annual meeting of the Liver- ' pool Chamber of Commerce, the block- I ade of Charleston harbor was very 1 strongly denounced and the efficiency j of the blockade questioned, but contin- i ued non-intervention was generally approved. A letter was read from Mr. i Cobden, showing the permanent impor- 1 tance of settling the question of bellig- ' erent rights, and the necessity for Eng- 1 land agreeing to the American doctrine relative to private property at sea. : A Madrid correspondent, under date * of the 6th instant, says the Sumter is still at St. Roche, not having funds to pay the expenses incurred there. The United States Consul had given a banquet at Cadiz to the former prisnnnru A f flip Slumtfi.r. Toasts were piven I for "America" and the "Queen of Spain." TilE QUIiEN'S SPEECH. My Lords and G-entlemen: We are commanded by Her Majesty to assure you that her Majesty is persuaded that you will deeply participate in the affliction by which Her Majesty has been overwhelmed by the calamitous, untimely and irreparable loss of her beloved consort, who has been her comfort and j support. It has been soothing to Her Majesty, while suffering most acutely i under this awful dispensation of Providence, to receive from all classes of her subjects the most cordial assurances of . their sympathy with her sorrow. The wrongs committed by various ' parties by successive Governments in > Mexico upon foreign residents within ; Mexican territory, and for which no ; satisfactory redress could be obtained, t have led to the conclusion of a conven} tion between Her Majesty, the Empei ror of the French and the Queen of i Spain for the purpose of regulating a - combined occupation of the coast of t Mexico, with a view to obtain that rel dress which has hitherto been withheld. The convention and the papers relating to that subject will be laid before you. After referring to Mexico and China, the address concludes: Her Majesty regrets that in some parts of the United Kingdom and in certain branches of industry temporary causes have produced considerable pressure and privation, but have reason to believe that the general condition of the country is sound and satisfactory. Her Majesty confidently commends the general interests of the nation to your care. She fervently prays that the blessings of Almighty God may attend our deliberations, and may guide them to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of her people. We are commanded to assure you that she looks with confidence to your j J i usaiHUUiue auu auviue. Her Majesty's relations with all the European powers continue to be friend- j ly and satisfactory, and Her Majesty trusts there is no reason to apprehend any disturbance of the peace of Europe. A question of great importance, which might have led to very serious consequences, arose between her Majesty and the Government of the United States, being the seizure and forcible removal of four passengers from on board a British mail packet by the comnander of a ship-of-war of the United States. That question has been satisfactorily settled by the restoration of ;he passengers to the British protection, md by a disavowal by the U. States Grovernment of the act of violence comnenced by their naval officer. The riendly relations between Her Majesty ind the President of the United States tre therefore unimnaired. >> Her Majesty willingly appreciates the oyalty and patriotism which have been nanifested on this occasion by Her Majesty's North American subjects. The Yankee Prisoners. We learn that on Friday night, thireen Yankee prisoners left our prison vithout the knowledge of the/o?*r seninels on duty there. Our citizens have for sometime been listrustful of their safe keeping, and epeated complaints have been made hat the number of the guard on duty vas insufficient, but their complaints lave not been heeded. If the scamps had remained a week onger they would have been sent home it the expense of the Government, as m order has been issued by the War department to send for exchange some 1,000 in our hands. As it is, they risk ?eing shot wherever found, as our citi:ens will certainly watch for these Jno. Irown men, and destroy them if found, ,s they most likely will be. Let all be on the alert for them? hey probably will claim to be our solliers on leave, and our country people ,re not familiar with uniforms. Most f them had uniforms, but may have iad other clothing. "The Rebel Guard has not had the onfidence of the citizens, and having ost us the exchange of thirteen of our >rave soldiers, should now he disbanded, f the prisoners are to be retained longer here, the citizens will no doubt eadil j volunteer to take charge ..filiem. Since the above was written, we learn hat the commander of fhe post, Col. Weston, lias placed them in charge of ?apt. Thomas and the Arsenal Cadets. South Carolinian, 24th. Battle at Winton, North Carolina. Richmond, February 20.?Samuel Jmith, of Gates County, who reached Suffolk this morning, says that three ;un-boats went up the Chowan River yesterday, towards Winton, Hertford bounty. He soon after heard heavy md long continued firing in that direcion, and concludes that the enemy were >robably repulsed by our forces at or tear Winton. Before the cars left Suffolk to-day, icavy firing commenced in the direction if Winton, which was plainly heard in Suffolk. Information has been received from tforth Carolina this evening, that three federal gunboats ascended the Chowan itiver to Winton, and that an engagenent was commenced. The Confedeates were under command of Colonel iVilliams. The Yankees were prompty repulsed and compelled to retire to ;heir boats, which were in a damaged ;ondition. Evacuation of Columbus. Memphis, Feb. 21.?Major-General Polk, on Wednesday, issued an order ibr the evacuation of Columbus, Ky. rhis order was issued in obedience to ;he directions of General Beauregard, [vho thinks the point could be flanked md attacked in the rear by the Federils. The evacuation commenced immediitely up(v the issuance of the order.? The troops are falling back upon Fort Pillow, on an island 45 miles below Columbus. The planters along the river have furnished one thousand negroes to work on the fortifications of the island, and Beauregard is giving the work his personal attention. Nearly all the army stores and ammunition have been removed and bro't safely to Fort Pillow. The rumor was current here to-day that the Federals were advancing in large force upon Columbus, having knowledge of its evacuation. This movement is highly approved here. Breakers Ahead. If so, then, Mr. Editor, what shall we do ? 1st. Obstruct, if we cannot securely fortify, all our navigable rivers, and do this at once. Fell the trees on the banks, and create a quasi Red River raft on all our rivers, and let the people turn out en masse, and with rifles or shot guns make the ascent of our rivers a perilous undertaking. 2d. Remove at once all our surplus powder, munitions of war and especially provisions and stock, from the seaboard, (cities included,) to a safe retreat in the interior. Suppose the enemy ultimately in possession of the coast, and all our sea-board population?black and white?thrown upon the middle country for maintenance, and what is to prevent a famine? Therefore, send the rice and provisions generally into the interior, and let all our planters de vote their lands to grain, and grain only, while the war lasts. Let us do this if we would save our country from the unhallowed tread of an impious foe.? These suggestions are thrown out before it is TOO LATE. Beauregard to Return to the Potomac and Redeem Baltimore.?The Richmond correspondent of the Mem' * - - rii _ _ i?.i phis Appeal writes on tne otn as 101lows: I learn from Centreville that Gen. Beauregard expected to return to the Potomac in two months from this time, and that he only consented to assume the command in Kentucky upon condition that he should be allowed to come back to his old companions-in-arms in time for the opening of the spring campaign. He has not forgotten his promise to the "prettiest girl of Baltimore," that he would plaot the battle-flag wrought by her fair Angers upon the top of the Washington Monument in that city". Col. Jordan, and other members of Beauregard's staff, are here, en route to join their distinguished chief in the West. j Brilliant Skirmish.?-From gentlemen who have lately arrived from the valley, we are apprised of a successful skirmish with the Yankees on Sunday last, by a force under the command of Colonel Turner Ashby. Hearing of the defeat of the militia at Bloomery, and the capture of Col. Baldwin, of Winchester, and his men at that point, , Colonel A., who commands a regiment | of cavalrv in the valley, immediately 1 dashed off with the determination of repairing as far as possible, the reverse* our arms had sustained in that quartet, and early in the day came up with tne j enemy, whom he succeeded in driving-1 beyond the Capon River with considerable loss. Col. Ashby's command escaped without injury to a single man. Richmond Dispatch. Capture of Militia.?We noticed 1 in our paper of yesterday a report that < Col. Baldwin, of the 31st Regiment ?

From the West?Hollin's Fleet. The Nashville Baptist says that the j last desperate stand for the preserva- < tion of Nashville, from present appearances, will be made upon a line of fortifications within four miles of the city. The same paper, of this day week, says j that it learns from an entirely trust- j worthy source, thai Com. Hollins, with 1 the Manassas and a fleet of twelve iron-clad gunboats, are on their way to Cairo, having already passed Memphis. Besides the fleet a force of fourteen i thnnsand man is also on its wav to Col- ! umbus from New Orleans, as a reinforcement to the garrison there. j Prom Savannah. Passengers by the Savannah railroad train yesterday afternoon report that the heavy firing heard in that direction on Saturday was the firing from the enemy's gun-boats on one of Commodore Tatnall's steamers whilst making i a trip to Fort Pulaski.

In the beginning of the present struggle, at his country's :all, he yielded himself?as the sequel has proven?a sacrifice at the shrine of freedom. Two months since, he bc:ame quite feeble, so much so, that his Ihther was Induced to propose the taking bis place in the ranks while he should recruit.
