How THE YANKEES CAPTURED THAT GUN.-The
Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Mer-
curry says 50,
You know that Ashby lost 24-pounder ia the
late militia fight near Harper's Ferry. An officer
who was present says that after the gun had been
spiked and abandoned, on account of the breaking
Of the carriage, four companies of Yankees were
ordered to seize it. They made six or eight charges
upon the dead gun before they took it. Fearing
masked batteries, they would break when they
got within twenty yards of it, and fly for their
lives Again and again they had to be rallied
before the conquest was completed by Yankee
jumping stradde of the gun, and the rest sereech-
ing and hurrahing as il they had taken the city Of
Richmond. - ~ ---

81 The HEROIC JAoKsoN.--Now is the time when
the men of South Carolina may recall with profit
the dauntless James W. jackson, of Virginia. Had
his noble spirit guided the rulers, as we believe it
animates the soldiers Of our armies, no Yankee
footstep would now pollute the soil of Virginia.
With pride and pleasure, we record the gratitude
Of the Southern people. in announcing that noless
than thirty thousand dollars, made up by the free
will offerings of men, women and children, now
stands to the credit of the widow and children Of
the brave AleXandrian.
Should the marauders penetrate to oar hearth
stones. we trust that they will find that the ex-
ample of Jackson is not lost upon the fathers hus-
bands, sons and brothers of our city. -.-.4...

THE TRUE SrIRTr-From the moment the news
of the attack on South Carolina soil, and the dan
ger of our own coast became known, one loud
burst of patriotism has resounded throughout the
State Of Georgia, from Tennessee to the sea board.
Every ble-bodied man and boy is aroused and
anxious to fly to our rescue, and repel the invad-
ers. Arms only are wanted, and of these every
species is being gathered and forwarded to this
city. Fifty thousand Georgans could be placed
or rather would place themselves-in the field
within week. did we only possess the materials
to arm and equip them. We love our noble State
the more for this grand exhibition of the patriot
ism and yalor of her sons. A dozen Lincoln fleets
could not conquer such people.

Information having been received here yester-

SOME OF THEM CAuGHr.-The Knoxville Register

says: '...-
Six of the incendiaries who burnt the bridge
over Lick Creek, and who were captured by Capt
McLins cavalry, were brought to Knoxville on
special train on Monday afternoon. They were
marched bound through the streets, followed by a
large crowd, to the Jail, to await an examination
before the Confederate States' Commissioner,
which it was expected would take place on Tues
day. One of the traitors, named Mcdaniel is one
of the Lincolnites who was arrested and brought
before the Confederate Court in September last,
and who, after being released voluntarily took the
oath to support the Southern Confederacy. The
punishment of the scoundrel should be as summa-
ry as the laws will admit. o.

THE WAR IN THE WEsT-A New FEAruRE.--The
dispatches from Springfield to the Missouri Repub-
hcan disclose new and important feature in the
plans Of the enemy. 1t amounts to no less than
the withdrawal of Federal forces from Western
Missouri, and sending them down the Mississippi.
That this is the policy of the Administration, we
have no doubt whatever, and it behooves the Gov
eminent as well as the whole people of the valley
to look well and earnestly to the fact
The descent of the Mississippi will be made by
probable force Of from 5000 to 900 troops.
70 meet this force, will require all the resources
that can be brought to bear against it and, what
is more, there is no time to be lost The Federals
at St: Louis are building, and have we'll nigh com
pleted, six or eight gunboats, to be accompanied
by $50 barges as transports. These demonstra-
tions together with the fact that troops are pour
ing into Cairo by regiments daily, are pregnant
with significance, and should serve to arouse our
whole people to a sense of their danger. We ad-
monsh them that they have work in store for them,
if they would defend their homes, their rights and
their sacred honor. To ARMS must be the watch
word from this day henceforth. Every man in the
country should be prepared for the emergency.

After the havoc Of war has ragged,
there will come a time for the healing

of sclf.preservation, for time must
necessarily override all other consider
atoms, but, sooner or later, an insult
el public opinion, South and North =
the good sense, patriotism and intelli-
gence Of the people-will rise in its
majesty and command the peace to be
effected that is so vital to all. Blessed
be the peace-makcrs over all the length
and breadth Of the land! Thousands
upon thousands of homes will be made
desolate by this madness of the hour,
will yearn for Peace; Ill there is true in
affection and noble in patriotism will
plead for it; and the blessings Of mill
ions and the unfading laurel shall be
for the moral and intellectual greatness
that shall labor for it successfully.
