Smyrna times., 1861-12-12

The British schooner Emeline, from Port
Royal, (MarInique,) arrived at New York
Sunday. She left the privateer Sumter at
Martinique, where she had put 10 for coal.
The Sumter had recently taken two prizes
the briggs Daniel TroaObridge, OF New-Haven,
aud the Joseph Park. The pirates took what
provisions they wanted, and thcn burned the
briggs. The authorities at>Martinique did no,
interfere with the movements of the Sumter.

WadswOrth's Brig gade, sent out on Friday last,
returned the next day with the intelligence
that Fairfax Court House and Flint Hill had
been entirely deserted by the rebel pickcls.

~ While walking through Church

respectively ten and fifteen years. The
younger one carried an apple in his hand,

Thegreat popularity which MOFFAT'S LIFE

in consequence of the extraordinary cures ef-
fected by their use, renders it unnecessary for
the proprietor to enter into particular analy-
sis Of their medical virtues or properties
Having been more than twenty years before
the public, and having the united testimony
Of more than Three millions of persons who
have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect
health by them, it is believed that their repu-
tation as the best vegetable medicine now be-
fore the public, admits of no dispute. In al
most every city and village in the United
States. there are many who are ready to testify
o their efficacy in removing disease, and Civ
into the whole system renewed vigcr and
health.
In cases of Scrofula, Ulcers, Scurvy, or Erup-
tions Of the skin, the operation Of the LIFE
MEDICINES is truly astonishing, often remov-
ing, in few days, every vestige of these loath-
some diseases, by their purifying effects on the
blood. Bilious Fevers, Fever ind Ague, Dgspep-

soon yield to their curative properties. No

timely use much suffering and expense may t e

The Prairies and Lakes in the vicinity de-
serve particular mention. eden Prairie - is
ten miles long, and from one to one and a-half
miles wide, with timber along the sides and is

Farmers and at many points along are beauti-
full building spots on the shore of a beautiful
lake. "Garden Door" and "Sedge" Pralries
are also worth the attention of Farmers, being
Of moderate size; high upland; and entirely
enclosed with timber. These Prairies all d.
verge from the Town Site and are accessible
to the State Road. Lake "Agnes'' and 'Wi-

Extract from the Tenth Chapter of
 Joshua with 8 new translation.

Now it came to pass when Abe Lincoln, King of the Abolitionists at Washington City had heard how Jeff. Davis had taken Fort Sumpter, and how the inhabitants of Virginia had made peace with the children of Davis and were among them:
 ?. That he feared greatly, because Rich mond was great city. as one of the royal
 3. Wherefore Abraham, King of Wash ington, sent unto the five Abolition Governors of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, saying.
 4. Come mp unto me, and help me, that we may smite Virginia, for it hath made peace with Jeff. Davis.
 5. Therefore the five abolition governors gathered theil armies together and went up and camped before Manassas and made war against Virginia
 6. And the men of Virginia, sent unto Jeff Davis at Montgomery, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants but come up to Us quickly and save us and help us; for all the Abolitionsts of the North are gathered togeth- Ter against us.
 I. So Jeff. Davis ascended from Montgom- cry, and all the men of valor with him.
 8. And the Lord discomftted them before the children of the South, and they were slain with great slaughter at Manassas, and they were chased along the way that goeth up to Centreyille, and smitten to Alexandria, and near unto Washington City.
 And it came to pass as they fled from before the children of the South, that there were more that died from fear than were slain by the sword.
 For there was no day like that before it, for the Lord fought for the children of the South
 And Jeff. Davis said, Stay ye not bat pur sue after your enemies and smite the hindmost of them, and suffer them not to enter their cities.
 And Jeff said to the children of the South. Fear not, for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies.

 WHO KILLED CAMERoN.-A correspondent of the Richmond Whig lately attributed the killing of Col. Cameron, of the New York seventy-ninth (scotch) regiment, to "Od Texas" who is thus described by the South Carolinian
 cold Texas'' will be remembered by every one who was on Norris Island during the eventful scenes there. His name is A. J. Hartley, printer by trade, and a man of a good deal of intelligence. He resided formerly in Memphis, but left there several years since for small town in Northern Texas, where he established paper, which he had pushed up to the point of making good living. Being bachelor, he made his home in the office, and by industry and perseverance, had sur- rounded hm9elf with many comforts, all of which he saw destroyed in one night by the abolitionists, he escaping with only the clothes he had on. Those who have heard him relate his story will not soon forget the flashing of his eye as he drew his tall form to its utmost night, and uttered his imprecations against the cowardly thieves who had des 1 troyed the labor of years. It was not surpris l ing that he was among the first to volunteer in defense of the South against those whom he considered his natural enemies. The above incident is characteristic of the man. We regret to learn that he s wounded, but trust he may soon be able to take his place again, and assist in cancelling some part of the debt of vengeance he owes the invaders of our soil.
