DEATH OP REV. J. M. H. ADAMS.
It pains us deeply to record the
death of this "good and faithful servant"
of God, which occurred at his
residence in this place on Monday last.
He was some fifty-one or two years of
age, thirty-five of which he had been a
professor of religion, and had adorned
the doctrines of his Savior by a life of
exemplary meexness anu pieiy. j.uc
greater part of his Christian life was
devoted to the work of the ministry.?
For the last nine or ten years, he was
pastor of the Presbyterian Church of
our town. A good scholar, a laborious
student, with a heart deeply imbued
with experimental grace, with gratitude,
love and reverence to God, and with
lips honied over with eloquence, his sermons
were full of truth and beauty, and
went straight home to the convictions
and the heart. As a husband, father,
pastor, friend and citizen, he was a pattern
and model worthy of immitation.
He has passed from months of feeble
health?from the weighty cares of life
?from human sorrow and human love
?and entered into his eternal rest.?
How applicable to him the Christian
poet's sentiment,
"How blest the righteous when he dies!"
COPPER AND CANNON.
In various communities of the South,
the people, in response to Gen. Beauregard's
call, have offered their plantation
bells, church bells, brass andirons,
fire-fenders &c., to be moulded into cannon.
This is admirable. It is now
proposed that the stills, which have
been stopped short in their own "running,
^" be converted to the nobler purpose
of putting the Vandals to flight.
This is a capital suggestion. D'rom tne
certainty and distance at which "rifle
whiskey" is wont to kill, we are justified
in inferring that the stills will make
guns of the longest range, and the most
deadly accuracy.
Seriously, that must be a glorious and
holy cause which, while it receives the
enthusiastic approval of all grades of
sentfment and interest, can be aided
. alike by the church, the farm and the
still-house. No people should be more
willing than we, to contribute our last
copper to the public weal. Come forward,
gentlemen of the still?be generous
; our cry is that of the horse-leech,
"Give, give"?though it should only be
a "worm," it is your mite?and you
thereby "save your corn !"
^ ~ ABMY RESIGNATIONS.
We have heard it stated that some of
the Colonels in command of regiments
on the coast, in Confederate service,
have resigned their Commissions on account
of a recent appointment by the j
President. Without deciding upou the
amount of disinterested patriotism and j
self-sacrifice manifested by this pro-1
ceedure, and others of a similar kind
since the war began, we feel bound to
say that the President has the undoubted
right, and it is his bounden duty to
the army and people of the Confedera
cy, to exercise his own best discretion
in the appointment of officers, without
"fear or favor," and without regard for
the consequences to individual interest
or ambition. No matter where he finds
a man of genius, energy and enterprise
?should it be amongst the "lowest privates"?it
is not only his privilege but
his duty to appoint him to a position
where he can wield his talents to advantage
for his country, no matter who may
be "overslaughed" by the act. We
speak of drawing out the resources of
the country, to enable us to cope with
our numerous and formidable adversaries.
But what better resource can we
have than real military sagacity and ability
? Who will not say that if Beauregard's
genius for command lay dormant
in obscurity, it should be drawn
out, and placed above the whole crew of
honor-seekers, in its present position ?
We talk of greedy speculators?of
traitorous and encumbering speculation.
But what speculation more harmful to
our cause, or more hateful in itself,
than that which would extort and monopolize
all the honors of the military,
or civil, service ?
Napoleon was wont to appoint his
marshalls as he saw fit. His promotions
were the reward of talent, of valor,
of distinguished service; and not
the result of an indiscriminating, loose,
emulation-destroying system in which
"every second stands heir to the first."
No army ever produced more heroes
than his?none ever fought better?
none ever gained more and more brilliant
victories. Let us have the same
exalted appreciation of real merit, no
matter whose head it lops off. The result
will be tin- same. Every aspirnm
will then seek his spurs- as he should?
by manifesting high zeal for the conn- a.
try and dealing death-blows upon her o
enemy. c
Col. J. Johnson Pettigrew has bien t
offered the command of a Brigadier- s
General; but he modestly declines the o
honor until his real services to the coun- b
try win for him such promotion. His i
conduct is in striking and enviable con- I
trast to those whose eyes, instead of a
scanning the movements of the enemy, c
are too eagerly directed to the "loaves i
and fishes" of office, distributed by the j
President. The times demand universal
zeal for the cause?universal self- i
sacrifice?a mighty up-heaving of all 1
the energies of our whole population, 1
to drive the almost countless hordes of i
I -xii j _.j.:? : j r ,
ruxniess u,iiu acuve mvaucxo uvui um
soil. The citizen who stops now to
count his claims to an office before he
steps into the "imminent deadly breach"
?and the officer who halts in the desperate
charge, until he is promoted?
deserve alike to be handed over to the
execration of imperilled freemen, and
the scorn of a liberated posterity.
GENERAL CONSCRIPTION.
President davis has sent in a message
to Congress, recommending that
all persons between the ages of eighteen
and thirty-five, who are not exempted
legally and for good cause, be held to
be in the military service of the Confederate
States, and that some plain and
simple method be adopted for their
prompt enrollment and organization.?
In the Senate a spirited debate took
place on the message, when read; Mr. .
Wigfall speaking in favor of, and Mr. ]
Oldham against it. The House of Rep- <
resentatives has appointed a committee <
of 13 to prepare a bill to carry out the 1
plan; and the Congress appears likely 3
to sanction and push forward the scheme 1
of the President. If there be any in <
the very prime and vigor of manhood, 1
who have hoped to skirk this great duty, 1
which they owe to the government, to ]
themselves, to their friends, to liberty, <
let them now give up that, base hope, 1
_-i x c ? ??? <
illilKt; a present. vju tuc ui a spccunj <ip- <
proaching necessity, buckle on the
knapsack arid cartridge box, and volunteer
at once for the war in the service
of their endangered country. There is
no mistake?the crisis is really upon us,
the crisis of our destiny. Your brethren
are already in the field ; many have
bled, died, in the field. Why stand
you here idle ? Is life so dear, are indolence
and slugglish ease so sweet, as
to be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery ? No honorable man, who
is not bound by the strongest ties to
stay at home, can ever raise his shamestricken
head from the dust, only to behold
a bleeding, a murdered, a desecrated,
a desolated, country.
DESPONDENCY.
Our recent reverses have over-cast
the minds of some women and old men,
with a cloud of gloom and despondency.
Far be it from us to lull any one into a
false feeling of strength and security.
We are, indeed, vulnerable. Like all
other lands, we have weak and defenceless
places through which the enemy
can make injurious inroads upon us.?
Like all other peoples, we have weak
| places in our character which hurt us
materially. Like every other race of
freemen under the sun, who have striv|en
for independence and liberty, we
have a class among us who are not
?
"bone of our bone"?whose blood is as
cold for our cause as the ice-bergs of
the polar seas, and whose hunger for
self-interest is as ravenous as any wolf ^
that ever growled through the forests
of this continent. j
But our reverses merely, should nev- (
er make us despond. No reverses, (
however great or long continued, should
give us over to despair. They can on- ^
ly protract the struggle; they can never
end it to our subjugation. We can
afford to fight five years?ten years? j
twenty years?for liberty ; but we can- (
not afford to submit for one moment to
the loss of liberty?the overthrow of j
the constitution?the destruction of our
domestic, civil, social, political and
military institutions?and the final ruin
of our commerce and industry. All ^
this awaits us, if we yield our necks to
the heel of the conqueror. It is the ^
settled and acknowledged purpose of (
the abolitionists to remodel our States,
to abolish slavery, and to subsidize our ^
property to pay the expenses of the war j
they are waging against us. They
would find the South rebellious and ungovernable,
even in a state of subjugation.
To rule us, tbey would have to ^
wield thtf iron sceptre of the raoBt hideous
military despotism the world has ^
ever seen. The expenses of that again ,
wo would have to nav vear bv vear.?
~ X. %/ V J c
Indeed, so grievons is the burden we j
would have to bear, that simply from
monied considerations, annihilation is
<
preferable to submission.
How, then, could we endure the
wretchedness, the disgrace, the loss of
freedom, the social disorder, the negro
riots, laziness, idleness and plundering,
the Yankee insolence and mockery, the
universal; ife'content, insecurity, fear,
alarm, that would spring from final defeat
? In no possible way. The forImation
of a new order of "Knights of
i the Golden Circle" the midnight meetings
<>{' our vanquished men in dark (
i rooms in the cities, or beneath starry
kies in trackless forests?the ple<Jgtf
f life, fortune and honor in the new
onflict?the bugle's blast calling us to
he field of strife, and the clash of reounding
arms again?would be our
nly relief; for these would give us a
lope of deliverance. While our eneaies
ask war, let us, as the best possi>le
thing we can do for ourselves now
,nd in the future, give them war?res?lute,
unflagging, unmistakeable and
rresistible war?until they ask for
>eace.
There is no feeling worthy of the
Southern patriot in this dark and bitter
lour, but that of utter abhorrence to
STankee rule?no sentiment, but "victo v
or death"?no spirit, but "the un
fe jonquerable
will, and courage never to
submit or yield." With these there is
10 occasion for the least despondency,
rhe whole world could not conquer the
imallest State, if animated by these
sentiments. The feeblest people set on
ire by the sacred love of liberty, is invincible.
They cannot be conquered.
Reverses only renew their energies.?
Defeat only excites them to greater ac;ivity.
Despair itself only makes them
'desperately in earnest." How then
;an the South?the whole South?the
inited South?the mighty South?be
subjugated by Yankee-doodle ? Come,
*ood friends, let us
?"bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe our weeping eyes."

Georgia-Made Looms.?A few days

Factory some looms that were put up
in this place. We were informed by
the agent that they operate equally as
as well as the Northern loom. There

and thirteen others will soon be put in
operation. They were put up by the
Athens Steam Company. This is another
step towards Southern independence.

FROM THE "CAROLINA RIFLES.^' f
Dear Enquirer We Bend you fot a
publication, at last, the roll of the ?
"Carolina Rifles." This company has
been in active service for the past four ]
months, and, although the music from a
Yankee bands and kettle drums is dis- *
t c
tinctly heard from the enemy's camps ^
on Edisto Island, yet we have never, (
up to this time, had the pleasure of an t
encounter with them. The Federals *
seem to be particularly cautious in their
movements upon our coast; how long
we are to remain inactive we cannot <
tell, "we know not what a day or an {
hour may bring forth."
We are encamped on Johns Island,
at this writing, having recently returned
from Wadmalaw, an island separated
from this, by Bohiket Creek, which at j
low tide we would consider rather a
Bmall affair, to give name to an island.
Johns Island is seperated from the main <
land by Stono River, (an arm of the '
sea, of considerable size) sufficient to j
float a gunboat, at least. We have
faith in our defences at either outlet, ;
however, and sleep soundly after our
daily routine of drills, &c.
Our regiment and company have had
to encounter the ever to be dreaded enemy
disease, and in the names below, to
which is attached a star, the reader will
see four noble volunteers of this company
who have offered their lives upon
the altar of their country. Let not
their names be forgotten, but let them
live in the memories of those who love
liberty.

-Captain John H. Morgan Again.
Tnc newspaper fratern^yQwe a heavy
debt of gratitude^ttftliat gallant partisan
lead^r^jCafrtT John H. Morgan,
of Kentucky, for furnishing them, during
the past few months, such abundant
material for the most spicy paragraphs
and interesting articles by his
many dashing exploits against the Yankees,
and has inspired them with greater
fear than all the army of Gen. John
ston besides- Mis last teat we are just
apprised of by a gentleman direct from
Louisville, and is the most daring and
successful we have yet recorded.
On Sunday, the 16th instant, Capt.
Morgan, with forty of his men, suddenly
appeared at Gallatin, Tennessee,
twenty-eight miles the other side of
Nashville. After catching all the Union
men in the place, and confining them
in a guard house, Capt. Morgan, dressed
in a Federal uniform, proceeded to
the telegraph office at the railroad depot,
a short distance from the town.?
Entering the office, the following conversation
took place between Captain
Morgan and the telegragh operator, a
blustering fellow:
Capt. Morgan?"Good day, sir !?
What news have you ?"
Operator?"Nothing, sir, except it
is reported that that d?d rebel, Capt.
John Morgan, is this side of the Cumberland
with some of his cavalry. I
wish I could get sight of the d?d rascal;
I'd make a hole through him lar- ,
ger than he would find pleasant."
While thus speaking, the operator
drew a fine navy revolver and flourished
it as if to satisfy his visitor how des- ,
perately he would use the instrument
in case he should meet the famous rebel i
Captain.
"Do you know who I am ?" quietly
remarKea uaptain iviorgan, continuing
the conversation.
"I have not that pleasure," remarked
the operator.
"Well, I am Captain Morgan," res- :
ponded that gentleman.
At these words the operator's cheeks
blanched, his knees shook, the revolver
dropped from his hands, and he sunk
to the floor. He literally "wilted."
After the frightened individual had
recovered himself sufficiently, Captain
Morgan required him to telegraph some
messages to Louisville, among others,
one to Prentice, of the Journal, politely
offering to act as his escort on his
proposed visit to Nashville. Then taking
the operator with him as a prisoner,
Captain Morgan with his men awaited
the arrival of the train from Bowling
Green to Nashville.
In due time the train came thunder- ]
ing in. Capt.' Morgan at once seized '
it, and taking five Federal officers who 1
were passengers and the engineer of the 1
train prisoners, he burned to cinders \
all of the cars, with their contents, and then
filling the locomotive with turpen- ]
tine, shut down all the valves and star- i
tad it towards Nashville. Before it 1
had run eight hundred yards, the ac- <
umulation of steam caused it to ex-1
?lode, shivering it into a thousand I
,toms. Capt. Morgan then started i
Southward with his prisoners and made
tis way safely to the Confederate camp.
The bridge over Barren river beyond
fowling Green has not yet been rebuilt,
ind the Federals had only one locomoive
and one train of cars, with which to
lo all their business between Bowling
3-reen and Nashville. The serious
lamage inflicted upon the Federals by
his dashing exploit may be appreciated

Cotton and Wool Cards.
We invite the attention of all con;erned
to the following very important
mnoyncement:
Office Miss. Manufacturing Co.,
Bankston, Miss., Feb. 22,1862.
To the Cotton and Woolen Manufacturers
of the Confederate States:
Tlie great*ana increasing necessity
for cotton and wool cards in every
household of our country, and the immense
importance of providing the
wollen and cotton manufactures immediately
with card clothing, cadis loudly
upon all interested for prompt and energetic
action in establishing a manufactory
of hand cards and card clothing.
But few families can now make cloth
at home, for the want of hand cards ;
the wollen mills must soon stop for the
want of card clothing, and with the cotton
mills, it is likewise an imperious
necessity.
Should the war continue, the want
of these articles is inevitable; and when
peace exists we should be able to procure
them without aid from abroad.?
The immense importance to us, the
people of the Southern Confederacy, oi
this great essential in our manufacturer,
must be apparent to all.
It certainly is but proper and wise tc
commence now, and take the preliminary
steps for this purpose, as at leasl
twelve months will be required to put ?
card factory in successful operation.
In furtherance of my object, I woulc
suggest the formation of a stock company,
in which all, or a majority, o]
the manufacturing companies interes
ted in this matter, take stock to an a
mount equal to two per cent, of theii
own capital, and these subscriptions oi
two per cent be the capital stock of the
fr? ho frtrmoH and that th(
VVUI^/UIUJ VV WV
companies subscribing shall receiv<
cards and card clothing in proportioi
to the amount of their subscriptions
as fast as made, and at a stated price.
To the extent of my knowledge then
are not any cards made in the Oonfede
racy; and knowing of no better location
I would also suggest to my brothei
manufacturers, Jackson Miss., as i
suitable place for the establishing sucl
a manufactory.
There are workmen there fully com
petent to make and erect all requisite
machinery; it is distant from the enemy
and the iron for making the wire can b<
obtained at Columbus, a few miles dis
tant; while bark for tanning purposei
is abudant in the vicinity. It is to b<
hoped that the manufcturers of cottoi
and woolen goods will endeavor to u
nite upon some plan for the founding o
such an establishment, as it is only bj
their united action that it will be ac
complished; and I would wish all desir
ing to engage in the enterprise to ad
dress me at Bankston, Miss., giving i
full expression of their views and opin
ions, for the purpose of perfecting som<
plan for the joining together in thii
work all manufacturers, very resspect
fully,

Desperate Battle in New MexicoConfederates
Victorious.
Houston (Texas), March 28.?In
tnllirroripA Kan heen received here of s
desperate battle which took place or
tho 21st instant, at Val Verde, foui
miles above Fort Criag. The fighting
lasted all day. The Southern force
was 2300; that of the enemy consisting
of 1000 U. S. regulars and 400C
New Mexican volunteers, including 10C
men from Pike's Peak. The enemj
first attempted to turn our left flank,
but were repulsed by Major Lockridge,
They then attacked our whole line, and
were driven back. They then concentrated
on our left, in stronger force thar
before, forcing us to fall back. Thej
then threw a battery of their flying artillery
across the river. This move
proved fatal to them. We charged the
battery and captured it at the point oi
the bayonet, dispersing them with great
slaughter.
The Confederate loss was 36 killed
and 106 wounded. The enemy's loss
in killed and wounded' was ovei
500. Major Lockridge andCapt. Van
Hanval, of our army, were killed. Col.
W. L. Rorberds was slightly wounded
in the beginning of the fight. A shell
exploded in the midst of Kit Carson's
regiment, killing and woundinfi 20. We
took their field battery, consisting of
seven splendid ?uns, 250 stand of arms
and many prisoners. Col. Green commanded
our forces in consequence of the
sickness of Gen. Sibley. The latter,
however, was present on the field of
battle. Gen. Canby commanded the
enemy.
Later.?Only twenty-five hundred
of the enemy made their retreat to Fort
Craig; the rest are missing. Our
forces have surrounded them, and they
must capitulate.
Pass Them Around.?As an illustration
of the spirit by which the Southern
people are actuated, we will relate
the following incident, given us by a
gentleman who obtained it from a party
cognizant of the facts :
Two half-grown lads were hunting
in the neighborhood of Newbern, and
were discovered and accosted by a Yankee
Lieutenant.
One of the boys wore the letters "N.
C." on his cap, which attracted the
Yankee's attention, and he required of
the boy what they meant. The boy replied,
"North Carolina;" whereupon
the lieutenant ordered him to remove
them. This the boy declined doing,
when he was again ordered to take them
:>ff, and again refused to do so. The
Lieutenant then remarked that he
would take them off himself, and was
n the act of dismounting from his horse
;o do so, when the boy winked to his
comrade, who took his meaning, and in
a moment the guns of both the hoy
were levelled at the head of the Yar
kee officer, and he was commanded t
surrender.
Seeing the utter helplessness of his cas
and perfectly astounded at the spir:

From Jacksonville, Fla.?A pa
senger direct from the seat of war i
Florida gives us the following informi
tion:
The Federals have now at Jacksoi
ville but 500 men; 500 at St. Augu
tine, and 1,000 at Fernandina. The;
are three gun-boats lying at Jacksoi
ville, two at the wharf and one out i
the stream. When the Yankees fir
landed, but few of the inhabitants h?
left the place, but immediately a star
pede ensued, all leaving except some
decided Yankee proclivities. As age
eral thing, the Yankees have abstain*
from injuring the property abandone
but those who have taken the most a
tive part in the war are suffering sever
ly from their depredations. One wi
ow lady has two sons and two sons-i
1 law in the Confederate service?h
only remaining son (a mere boy and oi
1 armed) fired upon the Yankee office
when they landed. This lady has lc
: her house, land, negroes, stock ai
1 even her household furniture.
From two Yankee prisoners, tak
the other night by our pickets, t
; troops were informed that it was nott
: intention of the enemy to march ai
' further into the interior, but merely
hold these sea-ports in order to rend
) the blockade effectual, and to get
" much of our property as possible in
^ their hands.
1 The cars and railroad stock were save
and are now running regularly as 1
down towards Jacksonville as our e

1 some 8,000 Yankees on Edisto, butth
1 are probably mistaken, as our comnu

As the sweet flower that scents the mom,
But withers in the rising day;
Thus lovely was this infant's dawn,
Thus swiftly fled Its life away.
It died ere its expanding soul
Had ever burnt with wrong desires,
Had ever spumed at Heaven's control,
Or ever quenched Its sacred fires.
It died to sin, it died to cares, c
It for a moment felt the rod;
O mourners, such the Lord declares,
Such are the children of our God.
