THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
In the name of God I Amen 1 -v. ..*.
Stand for our Southern rights,
Over yi Southern men
The God of Battles fights I
Fling the Invaders fur,
Hurl back their work of woe?
The voice is the voice of a brother.
But the hands are the hands of a foe.
They come with a trampling army,
Invading our native sod?
Stand, Southerners, fight and conquer,
Intho name of the mighty God!
They are singing our song of triumph,
Which was made to make us free;
"While they're breaking away the heart-strings
Of our Nation's harmony?
Sadly it floateth from us,
* Sighing o'er land and wave,
'Till mute on the lips of the poet,
It sleeps in his Southern gravo.
Spirit and song departed!
Minstrel and minstrelsy!
We mourn thee heavy-hearted?
But wo will, wo shall bo IVoo. *
They are waving our flag abovo us,
Witli a despot's tyrant will,
With our blood they have stained its colors,
And call it holy siill.
With tearful eyes, but steady hand,
We'll tear its stripes apart,
And fling them like broken fetters
That may not bind the heart.
But we'll save our Stare of glory,
In the might of The Sacred 8ign
Of Him 1 who has fixed forever
Our Southern Cioss to shino.
Stand, Southerners 1 fight and conquer.
Solemn, and strong and sure?
The strife shall not be longer
Than God shall bid enduro.
By the life which only yestortlay,
Come with the Infant's breath I
By the feet, which ere the morn may
Tread to the Soldior's death 1
By the blood which cries to Heaven 1
Crimson upon our sod,
Stand, Southerners I Stand and conquer 1
In the name of the mighty God 1
DiprHERiA.?A lady sends the following
reirledy for this fearful disease, which is pre
vailing in some parts of the country. She says
that she has "known it to be used in many
cases with the most beneficial results."
Take a handful of alder root, the same quantity
of dogwood root, and the same quantity of
the bark of persimmon root. Boil them with
a pint of vinegar down to half a pint, then
add a very little water, a small lump of alum
and a little honey, And use it as a gargle.
Duration of the War.?The Tallahassee
Sentinel says a friend gives it as his opinion,
based not on the ordinary mode of reasoning
on the subject, but on Bible data aud scriptural
calculation, that the war will continue
three years and 195 days from the time it was
inaugurated. We shall see.

Mr. Mason in Scotland.?The Glasgow
Herald, of August 2), says: Mr. Mason, the
Commissioner for the. Southern States, is at
present on a visit to this part of the country.
He is the guest of Mr. Stuart, of Murdostoun!
Mr. Mason will afterwards visit Mr. Ellice. M*
P., of Glonquaich, Invernesahire.
The reported capture of Coin. Porter and
Brig. Gen. Phelps is not correct, as both of
those officers arrived in New York, from New
Orleans, on the steamer Roanoke, on the 24th
ult. Their arrival was noticed in the New
York papers of the 22d, and on the following
day, Com. Porter left for Washington, where
he still was on the 25th nit.
The Surrender of Harper's Ferry.?Gen.
White and Colonels Ford,TrimpIe and D'Utassey,
who Were acting Brigadiers at Harper's
Ferry, have been carried to Washington under
arrest, to await an investigation of all circumstances
attending the surrender.
Ihe New York Tribune, states that by the
surrender of Harper's Ferty the Confederates
took 14,500 men, rations for 14,000 men for
twenty days, and one htmdfed tons of amunition,
fifty-seven guns, (some of which were the
best Parfott's,) 14,000 startdof arms, and four

Anolh# Order from Brute Butler.
Mobile, October 3.?A special despatch to
the Advertiser and Register, dated Jackson 2d,
says: Butler has issued order No. 76, requiring
all persons in New Orleans, male or female, 18
years of age or upwards, who sympathise with
the Confederacy, to report themselves by the
first of October, with descriptive lists of their
property, real and personal; and if they renew
their allegiance, they are to be recommended
for pardon; iF not, they will be fined and imprisoned,
and their property confiscated. The
police of tho city are charged with the dnty
of seeing that every householder enrolls his
property in their respective distripts.
Civilized Warfare.?The Yankees, during
their late raid near Bluffton, behaved as
usual, wantonly destroying private property
wherever they went. They entered the beautiful
Episcopal Church near the Bluff, and totally
destroyed the fine organ, smashed; the
window sashes and behaved themselves generally
like savages. At Mr. Crowell's unpretending
cottage, they broke up his dairy, throwing
the milk, curds and butter over the walls and
floors, of course, helping themselves first.?
They destroyed his salt works completely, and
did as much mischief as was possible in the
few minutes tliev remained ashore. A party*
" M 0
it is said, entered one of the spacious residences
in Bluft'ton and amused themselves by breaking
a fine piano in pieces, and doing other rascally
acts.
Ominous State of Affairs in Washington.?Among
the exchanged prisoners who
arrived here yesterday, was Lieut, M. Newman,
Adjutant of the 49th Georgia Regiment. Wc
arc indebted to his courtesy for late Northern
papers. Lieut. N. states that it was rumored
in the prison that great excitement had been
caused by the President's emancipation proclamation,
and it was further said that several
Federal officers had been sent to the Old Capital
prison for treasonable remarks about not
hitending to fight for the "nigger." The night
before our exchanged prisoners left the prison
doors were all locked, something which had
not been done before, and which betokened
some unusual commotion outside.?Richmond
Dispatch.
??
Thk Vandals at St. Augustine.?Wo hear,
from a letter received in this city yesterday, of
another instanco of Yankeo barbarity wherever
they acquire a foothold on our soil.
Not content with taking possession of the
town of St. Augustine, and extending their
hateful tyranny over the good people of the
place, the Commandant issued orders, some
days ago, for all the women and children whose
near relatives were in the Confederate service
to prepare to leave the town. A steamer was
in readiness, and on the 24th instant about one
hundred women and children were forced to go
aboard, without the slightest idea of their destination.
The vessel sailed out of port, but
nothing has been heard of her up to this time.
?Savannah Republican, 29tli inst.
The St. Augubtin* Families.?A despatch
received here last evening from Baldwin, Fla.
dated yesterday, says: "The steamer flora St.
Augustine came up the St. John's as far as Mayport
Mills, and returned without landing any of
its passengers."
' Instead of "one hundred women and children,"
as stated by us yesterday, there are one
hundred families on board, and all these help
less an d inoffensive creatures, many of them
of the highest respectability, are thus buffeted
about on the waves at the mercy of their
persecutors. The day of retribution will come.

York Timet is disappointed that Charleston
was not captured as reported; It says:' "It

that we should get possession of the placed

t" NUMBER 50
A Yankee Dnih.
At five o'clock, on Monday evening, a body
of Yankees, numbering bdtween six hundred
and a thousand, dashed into the little'town fcf
Warrenton. Their arrival had been diilly h?f
aided and expected for more than 1 a' week.
After investing the place, they proceeded first
to break the muskets in the bands of on/ProI
vost Guard, and next td* parole our siOlf and
wounded, eight hundred in number, whd "Were
in the hosDitals. llavinrr hastily nerforiked
t o j r
their business transactions, they departed in
the direction of Manassas. During their stay
of something under two hours,'they betrayed a
good deal of apprehension lest they shodld
themselves be surprised, and were all anxious
to bo gone. We have obtained these facts
from some of our wounded who wore pardled
upon the occasion, and reached this' city liwt
evening.?Richmond Examiner.
Worth Knowing.?In the present scarcity
of quinine, it is worth knowing that the borry
of the common dogwood will break feveris as
successfully as quinine. We know fdnr plantations
where they used it successfully lastsuni'
racr. One pill is a dose. Tlie season is liow
at liand to collect and dry them for use. They
will prove invaluable at home and in the hospitals
of our soldiers.?Galveston News.

Interest-Bearing Treasury Notes.?Wri'
are gratified to peiceivethat Congress Jhasduly
authorized the payment of interest on the 7.801
issue of Confederate Treasury Notes, rind tJwV
the interest on the same will be paid, on tlie
1st January next, at the Treasury, or any De"
pository of the Confederate Government.
"Stonewall" Administers the
ment.
On tbc morning of a recent battle near Har*
por's Ferry, after a sermon by one of his Chaplains,
Stonewall Jackson, who, by the way,is"
an Elder in the Presbyterian church, administered
the sacrament to the church members in*
his army. He invited all christians to parties
pate in this ceremony. A Baptist, the straight-*
est of his sect, thoroughly imbued with the'
idea of close communion, was seen to hesitate,
but tbc occasion, and the man who presided/
overcame his scruples, and thns it has happened
that the prospect of a fight and the eloquence'
of Jackson, roado a Baptist forget that baptism'
is the door into the church. In JacksonV
army an oath is rarely uttered. A religiousv
enthsiasm pervades it, tfhich makes every man
a hero. Conscious of the Justice of our cause
and imbued with the strongest convictions of
patriotism, his men are irresistible. In this'
incident, we have an explanation of (jeneral'
Jackson's invincibility, and we are thus enabled'
to understand why his men are all heroes, and1,
why they eudure without a murmur the Soyer-"

Molasses and Sugar.?The Selensa (Ala.)*
Reporter says that the Mississippi Valley is foil1
of molasses and sugar, and these articles
now selling at very nearly the old prices w
Vicksbnrg. Indeed, says the Reporter, we' airi?
informed that good sugar can be bought at*
ton cents per pound, and molasses at tvfoety- .
five cents per'gallon. As onr western market
will soon be restored to us, we may confidently"!
look for prices to come down, and that speeds
ily. - ?
The New York Herald is fully satisfied, frorti
the treasonable developments at the Convention
of the Stato Governors at Altoona,' Pa,
that a plot is on foot by (he "radicals" at the
North to abolish the Union, without regard to
"the disastrous consequences that will follow
the execution of their desperate programme."
It thinks the "originators are the nneu deacon- %
dants of the rebel Roundheads in England,
who kept that country for forty years in hoty
water and civil war, audit the treason commenced
in New England." -.nl*
