We must express our Acknowledgements to
the abolition editors who occasionally send US
newspapers filed brimfal Of all manner Of
black guardisn. and malignity. We know
they intend to annoy us, but we cannot afford
to let them doit. The envy, hatred and de-
traction of low fellows has no especial terror
for their superiors. This world ia made up of
all sorts Of people, ard VIC are prepared
to take them as We find them. When we
read newspapers full of such stuff a. has
been lately sent Us, we look at the thing phi
losophically We examine them rs We would
queer specimens Of natural history, and amuse
ourselves with conjecturing what such kind of
beings were created for. The only conclusion
we can come to is that of the Scripture--some
vessels for honor and some for dishonor.-
These "lcwd fellows Of the baser sort" have
their uses, no doubt, like spiders, lizards and
copperheads, but it is mystery which can
only be explained at the last day.
We assure the abolition editors that their
abuse of the South is but so much mud, which
only def.es him who throws it. None of it
adhercs to us. 1t i, in general disagreeable
to be made tho subject Of ribaldry, but the
vocabulary of abuse ha, been long ago ex-
hausted by the New York Tribune, and the
daily repetition Of the thing has deprived it of
all novelty and effect. We have come to look
upon these inodorous exhalations as an essen
tial part Of the nature Of our vulgar enemies,
and regard them ss entirely matter Of course
We would as soon expect fragrance from the
body Of defunct dog, or music from the
throat Of swine, as common ciyility from
one Of those anti-Southern journalists. Their
impelling motive is envy; they feel a con-
seriousness of their innate inferiority in all the
qualities that adorn humanity to the South
ern people, and hence their excessive bitter
ness. They may hurl reproaches or bomb.
ohells upon US; they may deride or they NAV
extcrminate us, but they cannot prevent us from
despising them.

Iudia-Rubber Blankets,

A lady correspondent in Williamsburg, hav-
ing heard that there is some difficulty in pro-
curing India-ruhber blankets for the soldiers
who are going into camp and will greatly need
them, proposes to the ladies of Richmond and
elsewhere, to give their India rubber piano
covers for that purpose. They will answer as
well, and each cover, by being cut, will make
two or three blankets.
Our correspondent says she is sure that the
ladies will be sufficiently patriotic to give up a
useless, or at least unnecessary part Of the
parlor furniture, which may probably save the
life Of many gallant soldier. We dare say
that by communicating with any of the off,
GERS having charge of the proper department.
very valuable service might be rendered.

A Mine ofNitre

Santa Cave, in Jackson county, Alabama,
is said to be second only, in extent and vast
ness, to the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky
Santa Cave has exhaustless deposits of Sui
phate of Nitro. During the war of 1912, it
yielded it's proprietors two or three hundred
dollars worth of nitre per day-they having
several hundred hands employed in their
work. 1t ha. been worked on small scale
till very recently.
We are assured that the dirt which yields
the nitro is abundant and rich, but more diff
fcult Of access than formerly.
1t might be well for an agent, either of the
Government or of ca pitalists, to examine this
rich mine. 1t is situated few miles from
Jacksonville depot, on the Charleston and
Memphis Railroad, in Jackson county, Ala
bama.

All over the State, partcula rly in the Tide

many men who do not belong to companies.
and who probably will not for some time.
They have not regulation weapons, but almost
every man Of them has rifle or shotgun or

n strong, sharp sheath knife large old file
or rasp makes II splendid one--keep their best
and most active horse always fresh and in good
condition, and have signal at which they
shall all gather at some rendezvous.
Such squads are to act as guerillas, and if
the enemy approaches their section of the
country, hang upon his outskirts, fill tho hol-
lows, hide behind trees, in bitches, anywhere
that they can best protect themselves and cut
down the enemy. Such men so armed and
equipped, can destroy an enemys army more
certainly and effectively than regular troops,
and any Of the weapons VIC have named, in
the hands Of a cool, determined man, is sufi
Gent. Ten men SO provided, and using proper
judgment, can pick off hundred men in a
days march, with little risk to Themselves
They will also prevent foraging and maraud-
ing parties from scattering thorough the coun-
try, and every man they drop viii be furnish
ing Virginia with at least another weapon.
If our men through the country will organ
ize thus-all Of them, boys, old men, all who
are not in active scrvics-no army can ever
reach Richmond, and our State can never be
filled with the bands of lawless stragglers who
threaten to carry so much terror and desolation

A circular has been sent from Philadelphia
to several gentlemen in Richmond, containing
printed form of petition to the late U. s.
Congress, for the passage Of a GENERAL
BANKRUPT LAW. 1t is couched in most ur-
gent terms. and shows anything but easy
times in the I" City of Brotherly Hate" We
can inform the gentlemen who sent the circu
lar here, that, in the first place, no one here
recognizes the authority of their Congress !;
and, in the second place, honest men desire no
such device for avoiding the payment of honest
debts

Al Important Suggestion.

1t is earnestly recommended that guards be
detailed to watch the various depots, store
houses, &C., connected with the service of the
Government. There are incendiaries in our
midst, who are as implacable enemies of Viz
ginia rs any who are now openly bearing
arms. The greatest precautions should be
employed to keep these wrstches from firing
public property, and thereby doing ineoneeiv-
able damage to cause which they dare not
oppose in open daylight.
