Accoaaremcasts for tie Mt1itid.-
Under the act passed by the Legs
lature Of Tennessee en- the 10Th
inst, it is made the duty Of Cap
tains of companies Of militia to
collect the guns belonging to. citi-
zens within the bounds Of their
respective companies. 1t is also
made the duty of each militia
man to bring to the muster of
his company any guns or accoutre-
ments he may have. In this con-
nection it is very important that
Captains and militia men should
understand that it is their duty to
collect the bullet-moulds belong
ing to the guns, and that powder
horns, shot-pouches, ariM pouder
and lead, should be brought in with
the guns. Wherever guns are
found those articles will to some
extent, be also found, and freely
contributed for the defence of the
country. The distribution of
lead especially, will, for time, be
attended with delay, and it is the
wish Of general officers, as we are
informed, that supplies should be
obtained.-Union d american.

How the Yankees Treat NegsOes

The Norfolk Day Book has re-
ccived intelligence of shocking
cruelties practiced upon the ne
groes who.shaye recently escaped
from the South, and are now at
Old Point. That paper says;
Some time since we published
= communication from one OF these
deluded creatures, plainly inhma-
ting that he had been duped, and
exhorting his master Sto keep a
watch upon his children, who were
Southern slaves, and not to suiier
them to make their escape, II they
desired to-assuring him that Old
Point was no place for child OF
his. The brutalit;es and wrongs
of which he was the recipient, he
would fain have spared his OF
snring; and lest the wretchedness
Of his own condition might pos
siblv, by their indiscretion, be en-
tailed upon them; he Is urgent IN
his requests that they be closely
watched. and that no opportunity
be afforded them to escape.
The details of the brutalitIeS
minated by this negro, as beng
practiced atthe Point. have come
to light, anu our readers will be
shocked at their recital.
We are crldibly informed that
the negroes, who have escaped
from their Southern owners, anc
are now at Old Point, are being
put in harness, like 50 many oxen
and beneath the lash OF crue
and unmerciful overseer, are forced
to do the work of mules, and hanc
quantities Of stone to the d1ifer
arent works row being built a
that place.
So very cruelty are. the negroe:
treated by the abolition masters
at the Point, that many OF then
not only wish themselves taci
again, but are making every eifor
to elude the watchfulness of those
placed over them, in order thai
they may escape and and return
to their homes. Three Of then
made an attempt to run away ;
day or two since. Two of then
belonging to Charles K. Mallory
Esq, formerly of Hampton, sue
cccded in the attempt; the cthe
one, negro belonging to MIS-
Wyatt, of Smithfeld, was not st
fortunate, being shot by a FEEDER
alist who was pursuing him.

We notice from some OF our
Southern exchanges, says the
Banner Of Peace, that many of our
planters are resolved not to plant
a seed of cotton, if the blockade
is not raised. This is the true
policy, and should be adopted by
the entire cotton States. We will
need all the breadstuffs and pork
and beef that we, can raise next
year for the South. We have
cotton on hand, enough for the
spindlcs Of Europe for one year,
if they want it, and if they do not
there is more than we need for
home use; while, unless we exert
ourselves, there is q chance for us
to fail to raise the necessarles CT
life for the Confederate States
Every farmer should begin be-
times to lay out his ground ior a
large crop, even if the season
should be unfavorable. We should
pay special attention to raising
stock. 1t is a patriotic duty, and
1t aciU pay.
