Lead Lead! Lead!

We would most earnestly call the attention Of
Southern people to the Importance of increasing the
quanty of lead There are large quantities of this
metal in various parts of Virginia and other South
ern States. 1t is only necessary to be known that
there is demand for every pound that can be got.
individuals cannot employ their means more prof.
tably than by working lead mines. The sooner
they do i; the better for them and their country
We cannot kill all the Yankees without the help of
lead. Steel will do very we'll for those who will
stand close quarters. But there are great many
of them who Calculate" on keeping at respectful
distance and picking us off at "long taw." We
must have lead for them.
All papers in the State and in other Southern
States requested to call the attention of their
readers to this subject:-Richmond Whig.

Daring Feat of Leuisianians.
The Petersburg Express of yesterday says.

Tbe petersburg Express OF yesterday says;
We have heard from a source entitled to the full
est confidence that of the most daring feats OF
the age was consummated near Newport News on
Friday last by Confederate soldiers Ever since the
killing of the much amented Lieut.. Col. Chas
Dreux four of his men have resolved to avenge his
taking off. With this view they obtained permis-
sion to leave their camp, and providing themselves
with several days rations proceeded stealthly thro'
the forests until almost within sight of the camp at
Newport News
They laid in ambush for five days awaiting an
opportunity to avenge the death of their Colonel,
but none presented until Friday last. On that day
they espied party of seven Yankees threeo whom
were evidently officers, engaged at a small stream
measuring with lines, and seemingly preparing for
the erection of bridge They were all unarmed,
and the Louisianians resolved that the prey they
had so long and perseyeringly sought should not
escape them. Knowing that the report Of their guns
would alarm the camp not far distant they spoedi-
ly determined TO rely solely upon the use of their
bayonets, and crawling upon their hands and knees
TO within a convenient distance they suddenly
sprang forward, each man selecting hs victim
Two officers were killed, but one of them, Major,
not dying ut the first thrust was struck over the
head with the butt of a musket until life was ex-
tinct. The other five men were secured one of them
severely wounded, and carried into camp at York
town. The wounded man proved TO be Captain,
and when our informant left Yorktown, it was
thought that he would certainly die, having receiv-
ed a severe bayonet stab in his breast, and other
cuts in different portions of his body.

THE APPEAAESos OF ALExASDRIA.--Since Lin

driven out every one by their violence and rowdy-

has rarely ever seen.
To speak Of snbjugating such people, so united
and determined, is 10 speak a language incompre-
hensble TO them. To resist attacks on their rights
their liberties is with them an instinct. Wheth-
this shall last one three, or FIVE years. is
a problem they leave to be be solved by the enemy
alone; il will last till the enemy shall have with
drawn from their borders till their political rights
their affairs and their homes are freed from invasion
Then and then only will they rest from this strug-
gle to enjoy the peace the blessings which with the
favor Of Providence they have secured by the aid
of their own strong hearts and sturdy arms.

SOUTHERN MANUFAcTuREs---The indis

themselves throghout the South. Arrang-
ments are being made in Charleston and
throughout South Carolina for securing
the South from its dependence upon the

heretofore furnished at enormous profits.
At no distant day there will be boot and
shoe manufactory upon the largest scale,
a furniture mandatory, mandatory Of
Kerosine oil, tanning mills, match. max.
ing establishment, lace man nufactory, aud
manufactures of various useful and nec-
essary articles for which the South has been
dependent upon thdaNorth. Already there
is in operation nanufactory of tinware,
a clothing esta blishment, and several other
enterprises which we do not at present re-
collect, but which have been chronicled in
the Mercury. In other portions Of the
South the same spirits animates thepeople,
Percussion cap manufactures have been
established ia Nashville, Teun3 Macon,

In Portsmouth, Virginia, 4 pistol manu-
factory has been established. Oil cloth 10

tensiYs shoe manufactures have also been

sweethearts vs.. War;


Obi dear, it's shameful declare,
To make the men all go,
And leave so many sweethearts here,
Nithouta single beau.
We like to see them brave, It's true
But what are we poor girls to do,
When the men are all awayP
We told them we could spare them there,
Before they had to go,
But bless their hearts, we wern't aware
Thrt we would miss them so.
We mis- them al in many ways,
The greatest thing we miss them for,
Is seeing US about
On Sundays, when we 20 to church,
We look in vain for some
To meet uS smiling ut the door,
And ask TO see US home
And then We can't enjoy walk,

Southern Congress.

RICHMOND, July 22.-~Congrrss at noon
to-day was opened with prayer.
The following dispatch dated at Manas-
sss, Sunday night, was read by the Clerk:
Tb ADJ. Gen. 8. Cooper
Might has closed upon hard fought
battle. Our force have won glorious vic
tory. The enemy was routed and fed
precipitately, abandoning a very large
amount of arms, munitions, knapsacks,
and baggage. The ground was strewn for
miles with their killed, and the farm hous-
es and the grounds around were filed
with their wounded. The pursuit was
continued along several routes towards
Leesburg and Centreville, until darkness
covered the fugitives.
We have captured several field batter
les and regimeutal stand of colors, arms,
and one United States flag. Many pris-
oners have been taken
Too high praiss cannot be bestowed,
whether for the skill Of the principal Of
fcers, or for tbe gallantry Of all the troops.
The battle was fought mainly on the
left, several miles from our field works
Our force engaged did not exceed $4,000,
that of the enemy is estimated se35 900.
GSigned JEFF. DAVIS.
The following resolutions were then
offered by Mr.. Memminger, of South Car
olna, and were unanimously adopted:
ResolUed, That we recognize the hand
of the Most High God, the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords, in the glorious
victory with which he hath crowned our
army at Manassas and that the people of
the Confederate States are invited, by ap-
propriate service on the ensuing Sabbath,
to offer up their united thanksgiving and
praise for this mighty deliverance.
Resolced, That deeply deploring the ne
cessity which has washed the soil of our
country with the blood of so many Of our
noblest sons, we offer to their respective
families and friends our warmest and most
cordial sympathy, assuring them that the
sacrifice made will be consecrated in tho
hearts of our people, and there enshrine
the names of the gallant dead as the
champions of free and constitutional lib
erty.
ResolDed, That we approve the prompt
and patriotic efforts of the Mayor of the
city of Richmond to make provision fer
the wounded; and that committee from
one member of each State be appointed TO
cooperate, in the plan
Resolved, That Congress do now adjourn.
The city is full of rumors about the num-
ber killed and wounded on both sides, and
movements making, but all are unreliable.
