LET THE OFFICERS BE SOBER MEN.-That
good officers are essential to the success soldiers
is question which admits of no doubt. And in
order to be good officers men must be sober A
drunken officer ought to be removed at once. 1t
is too hazardous to place the lives of thousand
men on the uncertain vagaries of drunken mind.
By all means let them be sober. And when caught
under the influence Of liquor let them be dismiss

The above very proper remarks atths time.
1t is all important that the commanders of COM
panies, regiments and armies should be sober men.
ga TRAITOR DISCOVERED. Under this cap
ton the Washington correspondent Of the North
ern Associated Press writes:
1t has been evident, that for some time past that
accurate intelligence of all the movements and
preparations of the Federal army is conveyed TO
the enemy. There is reason to believe that in
formation, that has been carefully kept from the
public here, has been given from time to time to
Gen. Beauregard. The utmost vigilance has been
exercised to discover the secret traitor who is
furnishing this intelligence to the enemy. A
painful rumor is in circulation that it has been
traced to an individual occupying a confidential
relation to Gen. Scott.

FEMALE PATRIoTIsM.-There is no feature Of the
present revolution, that will be regarded hereafter,
as beautiful and attractive than the universal
and selfsacrifcing devotion of the women. From
childhood to venerable age the spirit animates
all-the same pure fame of patriotism burns in ev-
cry bosom.
In late list of contributions to the Soldiers Re-
lief Society, we notice the following:
"0ne pair Of socks, from a lady Sc years old
her first attempt at knitting"
And, upon inquiry, we find that this lady is the
last surviving linea descendant of the revolutionary
statesman and soldier, who gave utterance to the
famous sentiment Millions for defence, but not a
cent for tribute"
Nothing Can be more touching or encouraging
than the personal tribute, and personal participa-
tion of ALL from the youngest to the most aged in
providing comfort for our brave defenders. When
the history of the revolution is written the patriot
ism Of woman, modest well as true, no less heroic
than gentle, will grace its brightest page.-Charles-
ton Mercury.

HAY IN BALEs.-It has always been subject Of
mingled wonder and regret to us that our farmers
had allowed the Yankees to monopolize the market
for this important article. Weregard the existence
of the fact as reproach to the whole farming in

finer country for the production of hay, than chat

Surely not in Yankeedom, on the bleak bills OF Eew

the Yankees can send it here in bales, and make
large profit on it. cannot our farmers on the lower
par: of James River, on the York, and on the Rap-
pahannock, do the same? Ship transportation is
the cheapest of ALL and they have as much at their
command as the Yankees The distance is compar-
atively so short that we should think the country
accessible to the canal and even that on our rail-
roads could come successfully into compehslon-,,

"Thu Bible was not written, many suppose,
mostly by priests and preachers but by hardfsted
working and fighting men, or by statesmen and
business men-the Garibalds, Cromwells, and
Washingtons of their day; Moses, for instance,
was a rough back-woodsman, who spent the last
forty years of his life in the camp; Joshua, the
prototype of our own Washington, conquered rive
nations for Israel, and then went home to work on
his farm. The very best part of the Bible was
written by youn militia man, volunteer who
conquered territory as large the United States
before he laid down his sword, but who took time
also to pray and sing hymns and write his war songs
for the use Of soldiers fighting for their God and for
their country; you will find his campaigns in Sam
uel and his war songs in the book of Psalms.
Persian Secretary of State writes book Of the af-
fairs of his time The prime minister of the Empe-
ror of Babylon writes another. All the great bat
ties and revolutions of the world painted in the
last book of the Bible. No man can understand
much about war who has not read the Bible"

Extract from letter written to friend, by one

Extract from letter written to friend, by one
who recently visited the hospital in Richmond:
In rambling through the wards of hospital, to
which many of the wounded soldiers from Manasseh
had been taken for surgical treatment my attention
was drawn towards youth, whose soft, pale and
beardleSs face seemed i'll befitted to the fierce and
bloody scenes in which he had so lately participat
ed. His fair brow-unwritten by furrow from the
hand of time-wore the bloodleSs hue of polished
marble; and his slight frame had become relaxed to
painful and precarious exhaustion But for the
haErecum5ent posture, into which some kind nurse
had bOlstered his languid form, and the yet speak
ing sparkle of his rich blue eye, one might well
have thought the life spirit already gone The right
arm of this brave South Carolina boy had been
shiTered in the battles strife, and the surgeons
scalpel had left mere shoulder stump to mark and
round off the jagged point of severance. Taking a
seat at his humble cot side said "My friend, tits
sad thus to be manned and mutiliated at your time
of life" "Yes, sir" he calmly replied, and hrs
bright eye kindled, as from latent fires within ;
but took the chances for this before leaving my
mothers roof; and now, have no regrets to in
dalge" l dropped a tear on his only remaining
hand, and turned away-not without fervent
heartprayer to Heaven for that distant mother, and
her noble son. Fear you now, that the South can
be oVerrun ard conquered? Neverl while there is
Southern heart to throb, and patriotic arm to
strike, nor while that boy birth-land can grow
cotton enongh to weave a winding sheet for one

DENoRAL1zArIoN OF WAR-At the commence
ment of the war in which the country is involved
much religious enthusiasm was manifested, and the
same may be said to be true at the present time
but notwithstanding the religious interest manifest
ed in many of our camps, and the religious service
held for the special benefit of our soldiers it cannot
be denied that the war is exercising very demor-
alzing effect upon many. We trembe when we
think of the number who entered the service con-
sistent members of the church, who will come out
of the with their morals despoied and their re-
ligious characters defaced Drinking and swearing
is on the increase fear and licentious practices
are ndulged in to an alarming extent.
Nor is the decentralization confined to those in the
service but it is extending to every class of society,"
Covetous desires and feelings are being cultivated
and there never has been time when the love of
money was more manifest in the actions of men,
Every feeling of benevolence justice Righteousness
and truth is being sacrificed by thousands in the
after mammon. The necessities of the poor are
taken advantage of and there is no limit to the
grasping Of tradesmen and spectators. The inter-
ests of the church are too much neglected and the
preaching of Christ and him crucied does not claim
that attention which it should Oil when will this
enrolling stream of decentralization be turned back ?
When will this fratricida war end? When will our
Invaders come to their and desst from their
wickedness? And when will peace be restored to
our once happy country?
Let the true Christians Of the whole country draw
nigh to God IN fervent earnest prayer, that the
power of Satan may be eSsened, and the cause of
righteousness strengthened. In God, alone, is our
strength.-C Christian Sun

no broad acres to pour their teeming plenty into

the fearful risk of reducing his angels at home to

IcE.-Strange TO say, our people have almost for
gotten that the rivers and ponds in Virginia ever
freeze over. 1t was not so III former days. This
city was supplied by ice-carts from the neighbor-
hood and there was always plenty of it "Coun-
try ice, from Paradse!" is cry familiar to the
ears of many an od inhabItsnt But Paradise
was not the only place from which country ice !"
could be obtained. There were plenty of ice
ponds all around the town. in every direction, until
the Yankee deluge buried them, as it buried every
thing else. Let warning be taken in time. Let
every who has farm dig great, big, ice-house,
and fill it to the top. The Yankees will not send
any more ice here shortly, hope, if there is any
virtue in prohibitory duties.-Rich Dispatch

Providing FOR THE FUTURE SENSIBLE Sua-
GEsTToN.-ln the lower branch of the Tennessee
Legislature on the 24th series of resolutions was
introduced one of which was as follows:
Resotred, That to make sure our defence against
the invading foe, large armies, on the part Of our
Government are indispensable, and while our ports
are bockaded We must depend upon the agricultural
of the Confederate States for sustaining
both the people and army of the Confederacy. In
our opinion, therefore, it becomes equally the pa
trotc duty and the best interests of those who do
not engage in the military service of the country to
use their best exertions to provide for the ensuing
year more than an ordinary quantity of provisions
And to that end would call the attention of our
respective constituencies throught the State, and
pecally those who may be engaged in agricultural
pursuits, to the importance of seeding a sufficient
quantity of their arabic lands to provide an abun-
dant harvest for the ensuing year to supply the
wants of the country and We would also call their
attention to the importance of raising increased
quantity of live Stock particularly cattle, hogs and
sheep-the two former of which are essential for
subsisting and the latter for comfortably clothing
our gallant troops.

The PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM OF SOUTHERN Wo-
NES.-"O woman, in our hours of ease e"-the read
er knows the rest: she is charming bundle of tickle
fancies and impracticable whinsies very ornamen-
tai indeed, very dear luxury that will not answer
for human natures daily food" In those hours
of fOwery daliance her noblest uses are latent her
benefcent mission in waiting for the occasion, the
angel of comfort and healing within her is sleeping
But at the call of Distress amid the tolls of adversi-
IT, whether public or private, all this is changed
There is then fortitude like the fortitude of this
delicate creature no infexbty of duty and tirelesS
energy in doing good like hers. However bright
she may be IN sunshine, she is never brighter than
when the sky is darkest The sun may set in
clouds, the stars may be quenched in Storm but
only to her virtues to shine forth in unquench
able brightness. Romance and poetry have in all
time delighted to bear this testimony and nowhere
was it ever fully deserved and more fully
roborated than in the South, since the beginning of
the war of independence The enemy has no foe to
encounter more formidable than our women. They
are our true home guard. They never sleep on their
posts. Their patriotic ministratons are universal.
They fire the hearts of our soldiers everywhere
they sustain their patience and nerve their resolu-
ton with sweet memories and sweeter hopes, sacred
affections and high and pure aspirations They are
the heart and the religion of our cause. HOmely
and irksome the offices which they eager TO
perform. Their devotion spurns all conventional
distinctions in the path of duty and patriotism
With an instinct wiser than philosophy, they feel
the infinite value of small things, the incalculable
effect Of humble uses and therein are they mghtiest
and greatest, and thereby do they illustrate the
beautiful significance of that saving: They that are
last shall be first The South is rich in elements of
inyncbility. But depend upon it. nothing goes
farther to constitute the totality of her invincbe
power than the practical patriotism and the uncon
guerabe spirit of her women.-N o. Delta.
