Vicksburg is the great pivot upon which bangs the destinies of nations?all eyes are ? turned toward that point. We have not the least doubt but that Vicksburg will stand, and jf so it will be a crisis in the present war?tbe war currant then must change. Vicksburg is tbe most important position in the Confederacy and we believe is the most formidable one in the world. One-half the troops now garrisoned at Vicksborg are sufficient for its defence. All tbe improvements of modern war fare that floats upon the water has been burled against this little city without the least hope of success. The enemy embarrassed at tbe ill ...^vca?uy water tins undertaken ilp destruction i by a land force, co operating at the same time, I with the fleet in front; but the rear of Vjcks burg has natural defences ten thousand times stronger than human skill can er*ct-~Lfaey were built by the hand of a Being that directs the downfall and uprisings of nations?"Thus far 1 fib alt thou go and no farther." May it not be that Vicksbarg with its natural fortifications were formed by the Supreme Aehitect of the ' Universe far tbefunction It is now performing! i ' Who knows! Time ere long will tell the tale. Gen. Grant with the flower of tfce Noi them I " army has <nad? several of the most desperate < ' and daring assaults upon these Natural Works, only to spill, unrewarded, the life blood of nmu w,wu to oi),uw or bit beet troops, while oar loss did sot exceed 600 men?still the oarii'age goes on. The worksof Nature are design ?d for specific purposes and may it uot be that the peculiar formation of the nillsaroaod Vieks burg was intended by God for the breast works of an oppressed people to free themselves frota tyrany. It U not ludicrous to think that such a thing may ba.

DISASTROUS FRE8HET. A very disastrous freshet fell in the neighborhood of this place on last Saturday ni.lit and Sunday -morning. Some of the streams were higher than ever known to have been be sore. The corn on the bottom lands wag in a nice growing condition?a great deal of which w?b washed up by the roots or covered with eand ; a great deal of wheat, almost ready for the harvest, was destroyed in like manner. We learn that the heavy rain was confined to a small territorj-, consequcntl}' the amount damngedone has not been alarming; a fbw individual?, however, hare su(TV?red materially. junn MILTON McCORD. Jno. Milton McC?>rd, of Captain Johnson's company, IstS. C. Cavalry, died at a private house, near Culpepper C. II., Va , on the 31st of January, last. This young man when he joined the ranks of his company had just turned the seventeenth }-ear of hisuge. lie endured the hardships common to ihc soldier and faithfully performed the duties without a murmur, lie had gained the utmost confidence and esteem of his Captain and commanding officers by his punctuality in executing the duties he was called upon to perform. In fact, he was a favorite, we learn, among the officers when ever particular commands were to be carried out. He was a young man of frail constitution j -i .1?" - - ..ivi oiiumj inter a severe exposure, for several days oij the banks of the Rappahannock, Ihe fatal disease, typhoid pneumonia, made him ita victim. He lay sick in camp several Hay a before he wa? removed to Mr. Dunkersou's, a private house, near Culpepper, whete he suflered the tortnes of ilie diaeaso for twenty-one Jays, bub not without the careful attention of two brothers who- administered to-his wants, (lis remains arrived here on last Thursday's train, and his funcml services performed on last Saitirday by Rev. Dr. Turner, and were re-interred lit Long Caue Grave yard. This youthful soldier auetninel an irreproachable moral character and had enlisted the good will [>f his tellow soldiers. Thus has passed away another of Abbeville's youthful and heroic'dcfenders of Southern liberty. THE CURRENCY. We publish in to days issue an article, under the head of "Financial," which we direct the attention of our readers, clipped from the Richmond Daily Fx smintr. Every person should r ad it, who have Con federate Tieasury notes on hand, and-net accordingly. The provision rilade by Congress for the fuudihgof particular issues iias been extensively published in our papers throughout the Confederacy and those who' suffer the notes to depreciate in their possession cannot blame the Government, or the pre?8 of our country for not giving sufi'.*nierlt warning. The redundant circulation has already been decreased considerably by the funding in 8 percent Bonds?and there will be agrsatci1 rush lor the 7 per cent Bonds and the circulation materially" reduced ; from the effcctr of whichwe anticipate n general tumbling in prices of many articles ol necessity. We sincerely hope it will have a talutnry effect generally. The course the Richmond Banks pursued seems to us anything but commendable. Had all the Bunks of the Southern Confjdoracy refused, as the llichmoiid Banks did, not to receive on depos'tuotrg bearing date prior to the 1st December, 1BG2, an unnecessary panic throughout the country would lmve been the result. Every persort has ample time lo fund hia notes and tluse who do not must suffer the consequence. There are m> douhf. nmnu no^?r.r.? J I ? who have a very small amount of the issues alluded to and who cannot afford to hold the Bonds?those persons should at once exchange s ich notes with persons who are anxious to invent in the 7 per cent Bonds. FINANCIAL. The following article we clip from the Daily Richmond Examiner of the 11th inst., wliioh will be read with interest, by those who have on hand Confederate Treasury notes,?it contains all the information desired in relation to the funding of Treasury notes:? The Money Market.?The marked feature of the money 'market is the notice given by the Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the plan of Congress, in relation to the funding'of its notes. The notice is to the following effect: All Treasury notes issued prior to 6th April, | idoj, are miiciauie fn seven per cent, bonds until tlie 1st of August next inclusive. After that date all notes bearing dat? prior to tbe 1st of Decfrober, 1862, cease to be fundable in my stock, Note# bearing date between tb? 1st December, 18G2, and the 6th April, 1863, can be funded in seven per. cent, bonds any time on or before the latol August, 1863, after which time they are fundable onty io fouF per eent bonds. Notes bearing date on and after the 6th April, 1869, are fuudablein rx per cent. l?ouds if presented within one year from- the first day of the month printed acroeatbeir face; ./v.. <I~j ?? - .wit year m??y ore lunoaDle only in foar pnr cent, bonds. Treasury notes issued under the act of 16th May, 1861, and entitled to be funded in eight per cent, bonds, payable in ten years, must be presented on or before the Slit day of July, or they will be debarred the privilege of being funded. Bo great? disparity in the value as exists in the Government bonds ?bearing, respectively, four, ttx, teuen, eight, peraeoC?must bring coufussion apoo oar currency. Such varying values in the note* Issued by the Government are productive mf advantage to none but those who speculate io Goteramsat Mcurjties, and are aalealated to em bavaea the ordinary traasaelions of commauities. We see this already in the racent action of the Richmond banka resolving that aAar yesterday (the lOtb) they shall reoaiva on daposit to-day none of the. Confederate notes bearing data prior to Urn fiftl of DtotKbw IMS. >uu m? oonwqatDet > the depr?ai*U?a of this :Um tiotM^-they beings* k>sg?r "ImmwmUa" with the banks io this city. I* striking cot) Lrart with this 1IHber*1^nd dsngerons policy ot the Richmond banks is the action of the banks of Lynchhurg and Petersburg, v/hioh have delnrinitied to continue to reccivo and pay out the old issue. It is to be hoped that there is patriotism enough witli the banks of Richmond to rescind-their resolution when they see the financial disaster that must ensue from tlio rejection of so large a portion of our curreno)'. The amount of old issun now afloat in the Confederacy falls little short, it is estimated, of one hundred and fifty millions. It remains to be seen how much of these notes repudiated by tho Richmond banks cau be ubsorbed by i the funding at seven per cent, till the first of | August. The fewer that are afloat the bet? | ter for the people; but it is very clear that they are to lose considerably in any event Tllev ?r* in . ? .? ?-- ? ----- ... _ ih nic uuuusor people who are not able to fund them, an<l who will be compelled to pay them out or sell them. The time which ha6 elapsed since the plan of coercing their holders to fund them-was put in force is too brief to allow us to come to any other conclusion. It seems to be M?e duty of the people, if the Richmond banks shall adhere to their resolution of discrediting and depre cialing the currency, to meet together and have a free and full interchange of views upon the best policy to be pursued. It has been proposed that the merchants and tradesmen agree to receive a proportion not exceeding fifty per cent, of old Treasury ti>>t?8 in the aettlemeut oi claims. If this be done, public cenfidence in the old notes w ill be restored, and they will continue to he mud as currency, at par, until the last of August, by which time, the colleolion of the wtir lax will have commenced, and a mentis of rapid absorption afford ed leaving, in the judgment of parties well informed in financial matters, but a email (ft-oportion of the old iasuc in circulation after the first of August. This process would cause but little embarrassment in the departments of trade. The nraount of notes ironed since December 1st, 1862, to 1st June (between 250 and KanO rmn nnii\ 1 - 1 * j *mi?) uc uunsiuereu m least double the amount of old iinue now in circulation. The proportion of tlM new issue afloat in this city is larger than ratio of its circulation th? in other portions of the Confederacy, n? this i? the point from which the heaviest* disbursements from the Treasury are made and pui into circulation; and those disbursement.', of course, eousi?t of notes which are fundable during a period of twelve inonlhft FROM OUR JUNIOR CORRESPONDENT. j Camp 19rii Regiment, S.

Last week we thought it probable that we would make no eariy advance in the direction of Murfreesboro, but now eveiytbing is as usual. This is the third week that we hare been on duty here. We now ex pect to be relieved next Monday by an- i other Brigade of our Division. The guard duty here is such as to put every man on i J..4- ** * ' umy every nve or seven days. Except thi* duty we have but little to do. We are culled oat at daylight every morning for roll call, and remain under arms until sunrise. At the first sight of the morning suu wo are di-missed from duly until five o'clock in the evening when we are oidered out for Dress Parade. This is our dady duty, except Sundays. At nine o'clock on Sunday mornings our arms are inspected by one of the Field officers, but we bave no Dress Parade in the evening. 8ince Rev. J. G. Richard*, of Liberty Hill.

We bave bad frequent rains daring tbe last two weeks, previous to wbicb the crops in this locality had begun to suffer on ac count of the drought. We bave dow bad a fine season and everything appears in a good growing condition. Wheat will be ready to cut in a few days. It promises an abundant yield at tbe coming harvest. Corn is small but looks well. I think tbat corn is not Dlantfirf hnr? ? ?nnn - month, as in South Carolina. There ar? but few fields ct cotton to be seen along .tb? roads. This country abounds with au abundance of rich grasses, and as a consequence the cattle here are fat and sleek. Milk oows are, I believe the most profitable property one can hold here now. Tbey are far superior to those ol South Carolina, and they cost nothing or very little during the summer for food. The demand for milk cannot be supplied at one dollar per quart for sweet milk, or fifty cents per quart for ' buttermilk.
