'(Could we but look into tbe seeds of
time, and tell wbiob grain would grow, aud
which would not/' there might still be
room for speculation, but, probably, not so
many puissant Editors to mount the chariots
of war, and ride, rough-shod, over poor,
unfortunate Generals, and blow up Cabi
nets like tbe Kremlins of Moscow. This
last is peculiarly "the way" of our "dearly
beloved brethren" of the Associated press
of the North, while we, of the South, have
a panacea for all ills, an excuse for all delinquencies
; and yet if McClellan is sent
to fight Indians in the North-west territory
to coyer his misfortunes, have we not sent
the gallant Magruder to Texas to chew his
cad in peace' The latter has, however,
made himself felt, by* brilliant exploits,
while tbe former has been, or is shortly, to
be exhumed, for tbe scorn. While tbe
Northern editors are berating their Generals
for want of ability or tact, and exposing
many of the plans that have been or are to (
carried ont, let us trust that those of
the South may profit by the lesson. A ]
generous rivalry for the latest news too of- j
ten leads our Richmond friends astray, and ]
telegraphic despatches manufactured too,
jjuit the publio taste?let truth guide us, j
but it is not always prudent to tell all wc ^
know. -j

The weather, at presents very cold and I
unsettled?the stir in town continues, but j
no large transactions have been heard of.
fealt is at a stand, and little doing in the
article. Transactions in groceries are too I
small to be noted.
The Powder Mills have stopped opera- J
tions for the present; whether the Government
is supplied in other quarters, or not, I
cannot answer; but we continue to guard .
the machinery, as usual.
The grog-shops of Columbia seem to have
given way to Wine-shops; these accommodating
institutions are kept open from 5 in
the morning to 12 at night, and even at 1
and 2 parties can be seen issuing from them,
who have succeeded in ^running the blockade"
over the uninitiated. Whiskey is by
no means plenty?yet apple jack supplies
the desideratum at $3 50 per pint, and said
to be weak at that; yet, strange to say,
many is the bottle bought by "the poor soldier"
out of his 811 or 815 per month.?
Yet tuch is the "great failing" among our
brave boys, that they seek to buy their sorrow
or misfortunes in the exhileration of the
brief hour.
Almanacs are in demand; oar friend
Miller, of Charleston, has not near snpplied
them, even at war prices?25 cents. The
absence of t>r. tJaynes', and kindred Yankee
Patent medicine hnmbngs, that kept
the market snpplied with advertisements in
this shape, is keenly felt, no doubt, but we
should remember that the fortunes they
have made on Southern oredulity, are now
being spent in making as deadly missiles to
! operate upon us. May they be remembered,
and all their stooks, in the hands of
Druggists, and others, be committed to the"flames.

?ory Outrage in Western N. Carolina.
On Thursday night, 8th instant, a band
f torieafrom the mountains of East Tenessee
and Laurel, N. C., attacked the vilige
of Marshal, Madison Co., N. C., taing
the oitizeusprisoners, and robbing the
bole town of whatever valuables' were
loveable. They entered the dwellingvof

ireatening the helpless ohildren with death!
joause their father was a rebel officer.?
hey robbed several stores, destroyed a very1,
rge amount of property, and after oomitting
many other outrages, they left with
le threat tnaf their next raid would be on

ute.
Capi. Pgak^of the 6ith, who was in

Oa their return to the mountains they

For these facts we are indebted to Br.
bompson and Lieut. Col. Keith, of the
Ith, who have just returned to this city,
Western North Carolina being in tbis
ilitary department, the State of N. Garcia
has no troops there. It is therefore to
hoped that the military authorities'here,
the Government at Rit&woad, will take
me effective steps to ferret out these tory
indivfc of the mountains, and give security
loyal citizens. Let them be caught and
mged summarily., and sufficient force kept

Another Dissolution Impending.
A general smash np of the United States
t now considered inevitable by many beide
the people of the South. At the North
he probabilities are being disoqssed genrally,
and the number who do not only ad*
lit that there can be no Union so far as
he South are concerned, but also think a
issolution of the remaining States will
ake place, are not few. We find the foliwing
in the Chicago Times, of the 31st
Jtimo ?
History does not make us acquainted
pith so deplorable a failure as this Adminstratioa.
It had never demanded men bnt
nore were forthcoming than it desired, and
t has never asked for money bat what its
ap was filled to overflowing. With these
mlimlted means, asd nearly two years of
varfare, behold the result! And behold
he prospect !
As to military successes, we have had
iqne, whose values have uot been lost by
ubsequent reverses. Aud our greatest reverses
are now, when onr military strength
s greater than it has been at any time bepre,
and as great as it is likely to be at any
imc in the future.
But if the army were doubled, what
'round of hope ? Is not the moral strength
>f our canse gone ? Do we longer present
he grand) heroic spectacle of a people striping
for the perpetuity of their nationality ?
3n the contrary, have we not dwarfed the
** -1*' - ' '- ? * ? ? * AAntaef
var to tne pituui aimouaiuus ui n ui/utwn
is to what shall be the status of the debased
;nd irreclaimable, barbarous negro amongst
is ? And as to this mean contest, are they
lot about to become so divided that the war
oust speedily close upon a broken country
?broken, perhaps, into mcfre th&h two
jarts ?
These will be the fruits of Abolitionism.
These will be the fruits of the eleotion of
id Abolition sectioual candidate to the Pre*
lidency?.fruits long ago predicted by the
jest statesmen of the land. The fanati- j
jism, and corruption, and folly, and incompetence
which preside at the fountain, have j
poisoned the whole stream, and the demorllization
so enervating and. paralyzing at
iYashington, enfeebles and prostrates every
sranch of the public service.
The Times indulges in many remarks in
;he same strain, and closes by declaring
ihat"in anticipation of a general dissolution
90 alarmingly impending, the North-west
must prepare to take her destiny into her
)wn hands."
? I j^eph Wheeler.
Joseph Wheeler, the moat youthful Brig?
adier in W Confederate service, has undying
honors during the pendenoy of the
1 great^rugglo in Middle Tennessee. His
. has appeared in nearly every official
. Jispatch; the telegraph never omits the
) name of Wheeler, and such has been his
i ubiquitousness, and suoh the multiplioity
of his daring deeds and achievements, that
Vhe reporters for the press from Murfreesboro'
have pewistenly asserted that Forrest
and Morgan were both in the re%r of Rosen- j
c'rans, cutting off his supplies and communii
cation with Nashville. Geo. Bragg, ..to a
very great extent, ascribes the safety of our
artuy on its withdrawal from Kentucky to
the energy, skill and courage of Wheeler.
Wh'dn he visited the President at Richmond,
in order to make a full. exposition of the
evenjte of the Kentucky campaign, he insisted
that Wheeler should be made a Brica.
dier. The President declined doing so,
statmg thai Morgan and others, who hadserved
longer, and with great distinction,
had not heen promoted. He also objeoted
because Wheeler is a mere boy:
Gen. Bragg was thus silenced. The next
day he/was again at the President's mansion,
abd inquired whether his Adjutant-.
General, was not entitled to a Brigadier's
commiaroon. The President said he was.
"Well, then," said'Gen. Bragg, "I now
nominate and constitute Joseph Wheeler,
Jr., my Adjutant-General."
The President was not a little surprised,
but remarked, "if you kuow this young man
so well, and value his servioes thus highly,
he shall be .a Brigadier, and not of your
staff. Let qim remain where he is."
We have given these facts as detailed to
us by one who'knows them, and have to say,
that Wheeler's- subsequent career has sus-.
tained the judgment of G??. Bragg.. Wheeler
now stands second to. no officer in.';the ,
cavalry servicer, which-within twelve months
has risen so rapidly in the estimation of the
army and country.?Knoxville (Term.)

New England's Bights Considered?
Her Undue Preponderance Objected to.
A New York paper, taking np a subject ,
that is receiving general attention in the '
North?the propriety of leaving New Ebg- ,
land "out in the ?old"?says :
The area of tqe New England States, leaving
out Maine,* isSS,272 square miles ;
that of New York %d7i000>. AH the northern
and eastern portion of Maine is a
wild, mountainous and inhospitable region, 1
|ncapable-cf settlement, so that the total 1
arable surface of New England does nGt
exceed the cultivable are?,pf New York.?
Now, we wish to put thdquestion, (wp, put
it ffierely for illustration)) what objertion is
thereto obliterating all the in tarsal boundaries-whioh
distinguish the several New
England States on the mapj sn/7. consolida- tir^g
them all into a single lBfate ? What
right (bear in mind, we sA the question
only to illustrate an MgurJflit) have three
millions of popal&J&M* residing in New
England to twelve Senatore Congress,
when pearly fern* nitons residing in New
York Ire entitled to roily two?? Thisim- !
menau pseponderq\iaa of political power,
out ot all reasonv.oJe proportion; to its area .
and population, is Jaeld only byfthe tenure j
of the S^ate rights which tbat\ seetion is :
madly attempting to undermine and overthrow.
\ }
The stability of this disproportionate and '
enormoaB power rests wholly on $e sacreduesu
of the old^tate boundaries, which New '
England influence is attempting to shake .
and sweep away,>nd which it has already 1
succeeded in destroying in Virginia. It is
a favorite saw of the radicals that "rovolu- [
tiooa never go backwards and if this
Sfet^rights and obiit- '
erating old'State boundogiS is to proceed,' >
it is one of the likeliest thindfciin.the world
that this fanatica^^ia4*#iBfuotive device '
shoujd^Mt'uTC foplague the inventors. If j
they are going to roll up the' Constitution 1
as a piece of obsolete "sheepskin," (this is, '
$$r. Beeoher'a tasteful and reverend epithet)
and return to first principles, why may not *
Now York insist that New England shall
take a dose of its own medicine ? If the
principle of human equality is to be rigorously
carried out in the spirit of & doctrin- 1
aire, without regard-to race or color, why
not also without regard to the visible math- 1
ematical lines which form State boundaries?
Why, in short, is not a New Yorker as good
as a Yankee ? New England haB one Sen- 1
ator in Congress to eveiy 261,000 inhabitants,
while New York has only one to
1,040,000, making the political value of a
Vf? nawo nnavlrr uowon nrir^ ft
XXBW wugmuun r*-*j
half times as great as that of a New '
Yorker. 1
From the Southern Enterprise,
Are Confederate Bonds a Safe
Profitable Investment!
I have been asked by several persons <
what I think of Confederate Eight Per <
Cent. Bonds as a safe and paying investment
? Allow me, in your "paper, to sayf "
few words, which, if heeded, may help the
Government, and at the same tiqoo pqt 1
money in the pockets of those among us 1
now investing fands. I think Confederate ]
Bonds eminently safe, batsnocess as a Gov- 1
ernment is now only a question of time. I j
have never believed in a short war?nor do i
I at present see reasons for believing it will s
terminate for eighteen months, or even a 1
year loDger than that. Bat our final snc> j
oess is now snre. Jf we succeed, Confed- I
erate Bonds are the best Investment any t
one can have. Besides, measures will soon
be taken to add State endorsements to the <
Confederate Debt. i
If so, new bonds will be iasned thus en- <
dorsad, and these bonds will be offered fi- <
nally in exchange for the present eight per i
cents. In suoh an exohange, the present I
bonds will be worth from fifteen to twenty ]
per cent, above par?so that if the guar- /
anteed bonds are sold to other parties for
fifty per cent, premium, they will be sold ]
to those having the eight per oent. nonaa at i
only thirty to thirty-five. . Under auoh oir- l
oumstnnces, one who now hays Confederate
eight per oent. bonds, will get for them not
only an interest of eight per oent., but also |
in two years a premium of fifteen or twenty. |
Adding this to the interest, the owner of <
these bonds will make on them fifteen or i
eighteen per cent, a year for two years, and i
then, if he ohooses, sell them for a curren
oy better than that he now pays for them j j
or if be prefers, gat instead of them gnar^ i
anteed bonds at less rates than others. I
' Another
inducement to buy Confederate
Bonds is, that as soon as our currency is
properly improved, (and the prospects of
this are bright,) the Confederate Government
will pay its interest in specie. And
still another reason in connection with this
is, that if the Government pays out specie
for interest on its bonds, it will require
taxes to be paid in specie. Those who hold
the bonds will have specie enough from the
interest of their bonds to pay their'taxes,
but others will have to buy the specie for
the taxes, at whatever may be oharged. As
long as we hold Confederate Bonds, we need
not be afraid ot taxes payable in specie, bat
those who do not hold them are constantly
in danger.
In what I have said above, I have gone
on the supposition only of the value of these
hnnds wTiUa t.fm war lnata Tho varv mn.
merit we have peace, their value as compared
with others will be greatly enhanced.
In truth, every other kind of security will
then go down, and these bonds will rise.?
If we had peace to-morrow, no one would
take less for Confederate Bonds than forty
to fifty per cent, premium.
I will be glad at any time to give Farther
information to any of my constituents or
others. I write the above because I am
satisfied that if the citizens of this District
know the advantage of this investment, a
large amount will be added to that already
contributed. I trust 'it will lead many to
call on my friend, Hamlin Beaty, Esq., theAgent
of the Government, and obtain the r
bonds. . Let all see to it, too, that they get
the bonds which have'" the longest time to
run. They are by far the most valuable. N

: A Veritable History.
We publish beloiw a chapter of Chronicles,
written by a Yankee after the defeat of MoClellan
at Richmond, and printed in a Yankee
newspaper called the "Funny Fellow "
The paper from whierh it.is extracted was taken
from the pocket, of a dead Yankee vtfi

That the hordes of the North came rash- J

lied by a mighty roan, even McClellan.
Who, it is said by 'some, and by others .
denied, was recommended that way by one (
Stanton and who advised a sea voyage that
the health of his men': might improve;
And whom it has also been whispered, in (
the dark aforetimes, leased of the Rnler "of (
the South a certain swamp for a national (
cemetry. t
And the men were landed on the Pen in- "
sula, even between the rivers.
And they went down towards the city;, ;
Even toward the Capital df the Confederate
States.
And Jhoy came, so near that they could ,
bear the clocks strike. * j
Zew, it was even averred that watches \
Gould be heard to tick in the fobs of the
P. p. ws. .;
And that babies could be heard crying. j
in the nursery, refusing the maternal breast, <
ant leaping with joy at the ai&htof a pis- j

Now if eame to pass in the days when the, i
varriors of the North came so near. > <
And had even filled several corner lots j

That the anger and pity of the Sonth were

Bat their wise men and great warriore '

Now it o&.me to nass the warrior arose in \ ?
be council and said :
Lo ! I will go in behind them and se? j
what there is to hinder their going baoir.
And this warrior's name was Stuart, even

And he went. (
And he returned and reported that there c
was nothing in the way. ;
Then the chief ruler said : . c
Arise, oh, ye valiant souls,and drive them v

And a righteous man, the follower of the v

Caution.?Qq a recent trip on the S.
Carolina Rail Road, we were thrown in
with a number of female refugees (?) who 1
had oome from the North by the flag-of- a
truce boat to City Point. In conversation c
with several of them, we learned that many 1
ire Yankee women who have never been t
it the Sonth, visiting their husbands, and a
who expeot to return. They report tbat c
the people of the North are sick of the war,
hut expeot us shortly to surrender from
itarvation. t
We had supposed the object of the flag- s
of-truoe permits was to persons returning to a
their domioil, and had no idea that North-. I
3rn women whose husbands who had been I
jaught in our work-shops when the war d
jommonced, were to be allowed to visit n
them. It inay be all well, but they certainlv
should not be allowed to communicate a

IThe Chicago Time? of the 7th oon- p
tains a glowing account of tho meeting at ":C
Springfield, Illinois, to protest against the
aondnct of Liaooln'a administration. The
speakers were Richardson, Merrick, Mar- v
shalkand Goudy. The Times-says the 1
pepple evidently coincided with the speak- v

Leather as a S ^all-Pox Disinfectant.?-The
shavings or scraps, of leather
'borned in localities infected by the smallpox,
is said to be a sure disinfectant against
this disease. The-receipt comes from an
old phisician, whose practice has been
largely among small-pox patients for the
past thirty years, and who in all that time,
was never called upon to treat for Smallpox
a workman in leather, either as a shoe<
maker or tanner.
The theory has been put in practice at
Castle Thunder with very good suocess, no
cases having occurred since the burning
commenced; The remedy is simple, apd
within the reaoh ofevery one, and is certainly
worth a trial.
The Yan kee Army.?We published a
few days since the- official statement of:the
Yankee army, numbering in all 1,096,000
officers and men. But the Yankee papers
figure this away to less than 500,000 in actual
service. They say that 150,000 are

Letters foe the North.?Parties in
the South, refugees from the North, in writing
home, either by flag of trace or the
under ground mail route, should never append
their signatures to their letters, where
initials or any private mark will answer as
well to communicate the name of the writer.
A gentleman io Riohznond, from Baltimore,
recently communicated with his wife by
letter through a fl ag of truce, signing his
name. TheJLincoln authorities at Fortress
Monroe recorded his name in a book kept
for the purpose, sent the same on to Baltimore,
where he was known, and a few days
thereafter his wife reoeived from the Government
a notice of sequestration of all her
husband's properly.
