Agricultural Prosperity.

The eventful summer of 1861 IS alrea- dy on the wane A few more days will usher in the mellow hazy days of South ern Autumn-by many considered the most genial period of the year. Then, we trust, that the hopes and cares incidental to the farmers peaceful pursuits will find full fruition in teeming barns, and Hull gin houses. With plenty thus secured, we have nothing to fear, but will continue to labor for the freedom and independence of the South, trusting in just God who has thus far given every evidence that he is Watching over us, and sustaining us, and resolving never to sheath the sword until our independence is fully established.
 The farmer may not expect to find such remuneration for his labor this season as in the Fall of 1860. Then the general prosperity of the country rendered higher prices than will this year be obtained, a matter of course. Then there was no war, and no blockade, and market for Agri- cultural products, both at home and abroad; hesides, we were ourselves the customers of the great North and West, of the Old Confederacy, who have by aiding in the election of Lincoln, cut themselves off from all intercourse with us. Nor can they again expect us, either in peace or war, to become, to any great extent, customers for their manufactured articles, or for such articles of Northern produce, as hay, but ter, fish, cheese, beef, pork, lumber. &c.,, It is only reasonable to suppose that be- ing rendered self-reliant, and more indus trious by the stern necessity which has overtaken us, and possessing every facll' ty in the matter of climate, soil, and abun- dant labor, we will henceforth, depend upon ourselves for many of the necessa- ries, as we'll as luxuries of life, which we have been accustomed to depend for en- tirely upon the industry and production of our enemies.
 Let our people, and our farmers espe- cially, in view of the evil period which may not be averted, practice economy be be patient, save everything that is worth saving, and which will benefit man or beast, for the war may be a long one, and above all be not mislead by the blind guides of the press, that the locust may not be- come burdensome visitor, remember the old adage, "after war comes famine"

OUR GAINS AT MANASSAS.

Gov. Moore received yesterday letter from a prominent gentlemen in Virginia, who gives detailed account of the material results of the victory of the 2lst. The writer expressly guards his Statements against exaggeration. and yet his estimates of our gains, made after cue deliberation, exceed in many particulars those which were made immediately after the victory. Upon rough calculation, the pecu- niary value of our ac uuisitions by the late bat tie is considerably more than three millions of dollars. The details we refer to will be found in the following extract:
 RICHMOND, July 27. It is rumored here to- day that the number of small arms captured at Manassas, including five thousand found in boxes in the captured wagons, is between twenty and thirty thousand. fear, however, that this is an exageration.

 THR RETREAT TO ALRxANpRIA.--The scenes witnessed in Alexandria, the day after the battle, will never pass from my mind. Foot sore blood stained, weary and exhausted from exposure and want of food, returned the frag- ments of Regiments. In many instances without coats, and even shoes; they came back cursing the day, and also the men who had led them into such trap. It was then that the chiy- alric spirit of the South shone forth in the deeds of her children. As an invading foe. shouting the war-cry of "On to Richmond.,, they had shrunk from them in disgust. At their hands the wives and sisters of the South ern soldiers had received the most gratuitous insults; but when they returned, fallen. and crushed going to and fro a bewiIdered herd seeking vainly for their officers and comrades. these Southerners whom they had injured, pro- vided food for them, tenderly cared for their wounded, and in deep pity for their wretched state, seemed to forget that they had been their enemies. should never have surmised such a victory had been gained, or that the men thus tenderly cared for were the same who had in- vaded their soil, or taken up arms against them. It Is noted fact thet the only house closed against them were the homes of prominent Union men, and the only hauds not stretched 'orth to aid them were those which in their onward march had wavd the "stars and tripes.o

How BRAVE MAN DIED.--rhe Hon. T R. Cobb delivered in the Confederate congress, on the 24th inst, beautiful and eloquent eu- ogy on Gen. Francis S Barlow. of Georgia, who was killed in the battle of the 21st., from which we take the following extract:
 Of the manner of his death, MT. President, can only speak from rumor, but have taken pains to inquire from those who were nearest to him on that memorable occasion, and there- fore may speak with accuracy. During the day his own command had suffered much. Towards noon it be came necessary, as un- derstand for the left wing of our army, to keep from being fanked by the enemy, to fall back further and further towards it's original posi- tion, occupied in the morning. About this time, the exact hour cannot tell, my friend approached Beauregard, the General com manding, and said
 ssWhat shall now be done? Tell me. and if human effort can avail, 1 will do iti' The reply was, ''that battery should be siIenced." SeiZing the standard of his own regiment, and calling the remnants of his command to rally and follow him, he led the van in the charge of battle. A ball wounded him sligh- tly and killed his horse under him. Still grasping the standard and rising again, he mounted another horse, and waving his cap around his head, he cheered his boys to come on. They followed. The next wound was from ball that entered his heart. He spoke afterwards to the few of his brave boys who gathered around him. His words will ever be memorable. He said, "they have killed me, but never give up the feds.'' That last com mand was galantly obeyed and his boys silen- ced the battery of which he died in the charge

 THE PROPOSED PEACE MEETINGs.-A cor respondent, writing on this subject, says: ''l desire simply to say that the proposal to hold peace meeting in New York is worth taking into consideration.

It is not too late to send the olive branch of peace founded upon justice Blessed, thrice blessed are the peace makers

 The Boston Commercial Bulleten has receiv- ed positive information, through gentleman recently arrived from New Orleans, that our Pacific coast is in much greater danger from privateers, than our Atlantic coast, and there is located there colony of Southern men who are prepering to fit out privateers to attack our commerce in those waters.
 The Sixty ninth regiment N. Y. s.

Their appearance as they filed off the boat and formed line in the street was sad one and presented the shady side of war
 Many carried their hands in slings, or Iim- ped, or had their heads bound up; and nearly all exhibited rags, and borrowed, ill-ftting hats and coats in place of the tidy uniform which they took with them, The whole regi- ment looked overworked and fatigued, though not discouraged or dispirited.

DAVIS AND LINcoLN.--A correspondent of the N. o. Crescent, gives that paper the following etymological analysis:
 eDavis in the Gallic orthography for David which signifies wELL-BELovED; and his repu- tation maintains its original signification as a great leader of an oppressed people, who are freeing themselves of the tyrant's yoke.
 Lincoln, authentically traced to it's origin, is found to be compound word in the Celtic tongue, LIN and COLIN. ssLin" means pool, mire, mud. "Coln' is contraction of colon, which in this connection signifies an inhabi- tant of colony. Therefore, Lincoln origi- nally signifies the inhabitant of mud colony, which modernized, may be the same as a MUD SUCKER. This probably accounts for his not being very clear.

MIR. CRITTFNDEN.--The Washington cor respondent of the New York Evening Post says that no one seemed to feel the depression of the defeat more intensely than MT. Critten- den, of Kentucky. When he rose on Monday morning, he asked, We'll, what further news?' He had gone to bed under the delusion that the Federal army had triumphed. "We are routed---utterly routed," was the response to his question. The old man started back in astonishment, and when the facts were brought before him he went back sat down, and putting his head down upon his hands, burst into tears.
 THE NORTHERN REBELLIoN.-Under this caption the Harrisburg (Pa.,) Union, hitherto strong war journal, thus touches upon new danger which is beginning to threaten the North

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vtiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
peryadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. Tie scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, by the vcnereal infection. What
ev,r be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iuiqutics Of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or nlccrous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, mud internal organs, IS termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul COR
ruption, which gcndcrs in tic blood, dcprcsses
the energies Of lilc so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous conf
plants, but they have fur less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; consc-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
! system. Most Of the consumption which de-
cimatcsihc human family has its origin directly
