Respectfully, 7. w. WATERS

It will be seen by the above announcement,
that Mr.. T. w. Waters, who has been so long
connected with the Hydraulic Press establish
ment, and who has so ably assisted in conduct
ing the same, has disposed of his interest, to-
gether with the goodwill of the paper, including
all debts due or owing the late firm, to me.
The paper will hereafter be conducted under
the co-partnership name of Bausman & Co. The
undersigned will be contributor to its columns,
but its editorial and business control will remain
in the hands of Mr.. Bausman, after consultation
with whom, justified in saying, that there
will be no change in its character, so far as re-
lates to its independence of all parties, cliques
and factions.
The Press, so long as it remains under the
control of its present proprietors, will support
Union principles, and oppose secession, disun-
ION and revolution in every form. Treason
against the Government of the United States,
and traitors to its flag, will receive no sympathy
through its columns. 1t will oppose every at
tempt which may be made to sever California
from the General Government or to build up a
Pacific Republic. Violators of law, order and
decency will be exposed, and malfeasance in
Office dealt with severely. In short, the Press
will be perfectly independent in every matter ap-
pertaining to the public veal.

SENATOR CHAsE's REsoLUTIoNs.-On Friday
last Senator Chase, of this county, offered a
series of Union and anti-Paci6c Republic reso-
lutions in the body of which he is member,
that come nearer to our idea of what is required
than any we have yet seen. They are couched
in plain, forcible, truthful language, and ought
to be adopted.

Gen. Allen, we insist, that even though

R9 Gen. Allen, we insist, that even though
the lady from s'Sweetfands" gave you the
information herself, that she had received
ill-treatment from the residents of that place,
there is some mistake about the matter. A
gentleman well known for his philanthropy
and whole-souled generosity, felt the charge,
if true, to be disgrace to that community.
He therefore made it his business to inquire
of every family in the town, not one of whom
had either seen or heard of mother with
an infant in distress, muchless to deny them
the common charities demanded by their
misfortunes. General, you who know that
people so intimately, would not think of ac-
cusing them of such thing.
AS to your perversity in adhering to the
"Sweetland-s," consider our gauntlet down.
Well meet you with pipes on that subject.

Where the Shoe PInehe..

Northern and Northwestern corn is now
dull sale in ST. Louis and Chicago at 10 cents
per bushel Their wheat will not command
mere than IS to 40 cents Their potatoes
will not go in these great markets at cents.
Their oats, it Is said, do not find sale at all /,
while bacon is cents per pound. If it were
not for the extraordinary demand for the
Northern armies the staple products of that
section would not bear transportation from
the farms. They could scarcely get anything
for them. On the contrary, Southern cotton
is to-day selling at 15 cents per pound in
New York, more by from ) to 8 cents than It
has for years. The other Southern staples,
Sugar, Tobacco and Rice also bears enhanced
prices in the markets of the North. and of the
world. Taxes are running up in the North,
while the people can get nothing to pay them.
The Southern government is taking Southern
products and paying for them good and
fair price. Ia due time the Government will
convert these products into specie, of which
they are the equivalent, and pay for them
Ia coin
The blockade of the seas and the interdic-
tiou of trade between the North and South by
our wOuld-be oppressOrs of the North have
developed these great facts. They result
simply and inevitably from Southern superb
oTity of resources. The war and the block
ade have forced each section to rely upon it.
self and the result is demonstrated in the
facts above. In the beginning of the year
the producers of the South fOresaw that they
must so far modify their crops as to make
provision for their own sustenance and some
thing besides. They accordingly decreased
their cotton and tobacco and sugar crops, by
increasing their grain crops. Providence
smiled upon them and all the necessaries of
life are abundant. The increased price OF
cotton, etc., will make the crop quite as val
liable and remunerative to our producers as
the larger crops Of former years Thus it is
already ascertained that our enemies are the
actual sufferers by the war which they have
forced upon us. Their superiority OF num-
bers only enhances their suffering and EN-
barrassment, while our superiority of resOur-
ces, not only supplies our numerical def
cheney in population, but makes our condi-
ton easy for an indefinite period.
The same overwhelming advantages which
we have over the North. will bring the na-
tions abroad TO a recognition, sooner OF later,
of their obligations to US, and of our nation
slity. When the news of the late events in
the country shall reach them, they will be 10
no further doubt as to either our intention or
ability to defend and maintain the position
We have assumed 1t is easy, therefore, to
prognosticate the final result Let the inte-
rior river and railroad blockade go on 1t is
only an uncomfortable tack in the Northern
shoe. If they can maintain the exterior
blockade of the sea, let them and Europe set
tie it. We are not only independent, but
comfortable.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE FIELD.
A letter received in New York from At
lanta, Georgia, gives this incident of the bat
tie at Stone Bridge:
A staff officer from Charleston, engaged in
the battle of the 2lst of July says: rode out
the day after the battle to view the ground,
and passed piles of dead in yarioys positions.
Under large tree l saw body lying, very
handsomely dressed, with fancy sword and
a handkerchief over the face. Ii attracted my
curiosity. / stopped. removed the banker
chief, and saw one of the handsomest faces
ever met with, of boy not more than twelve
or fourteen years old. His appearance aud
dress indicated high social pOsition-proba-
bly, he was temporary aid to some general
officer. To ascertain who he was, / exam
ined his pockets, and found testament, in
which was written
James Simmons, New York. From his
loving mother. My son remember thy Crea-
tor in the days of thy youth"
! wished very much to take the body away,
but was six miles from quarters, on horse
back, and it was impossible.

The BIockade-The ssDixie,'' .'JeE.
Davfa,, and .sSumIer.,,


These are the names of three of the South
cru privateers that are playing sad havoc
with Northern. commerce. The Lincolnites
are using cry exertion to overhaul them,
but without success. The 'Sumter" cap.
tured and carried into the port of Cienfuegos,
overcomes everything she comes in contact
with so far, while the JEFF. Davis is the
peculiar terror of the whole commercial
North. The Hessians have sent their best
ships after them on several occasions and
have been using their utmost exertions to
capture them without avail. A few days ago
LINCOLN appointed an assistant Secretary of
War, in the person of Capt. G. V. Fox, the
same who performed his sly and dirty work
IN the fruitless attempt to reinforce Fort
Sumter. He appears to have been appointed
for the single purpose of sweeping our pri-
vateers from the ocean. He was in New York
city on the 18th inst, and personally inspect
ed the numberless idle vessels in that harbor,
with view of getting such as would be able
to drive Us from the seas. The Herald says
that out of the whole number, be could find
bat one that he thought would answer the
purpose, and concludes long description OF
the days work by saying, "look at the time
lost, the property already destroyed by pri-
vateers, the disastrous effect of the loose and
inefficient blockade on our interests" Such
is "the lame and impotent conclusion."-
Northern merchants who have suffered from
LIS coins paper blockade, are denouncing it
as cheat and a humbug. Our Southern
Richmond is on the seas" and all the excla-
nations of, "be the seas on him" uttered by
the North can avail nothing. A large pro-
portion Of the Southern coast ia shallow and
filed with shoals, and our light vessels mo-
nopolise them Our trim privateers are how
ering all the way from New Orleans to the
neighborhood of Norfolk, while the deep
draught steamers of the North are over
less either to pursue or capture them. Out
at the head of this paragraph, which have
defeated all their efforts to capture them
The crack war steamer, Brooklyn, chased the
Sumter, a week or two ago, for several
hours, to no effect. So it has been with the
hot pursuit of the jeff Davis" Our enc
mics seem to be as weak on the waters as
they are ON the land. They are oblivious
of the fact, however. They have eyes and
see not, ears and hear not. Their doom is
liked.

The Grand Jury OF Giles County have ap-

committees act promptly and energetically,
the quantity of Clothing collected in Giles
will be large. Would it not be well for the
other counties to adopt similar means for &C
i've work? The soldiers must be clothed
comfortably.
