he will pass the Rubicon, and cross into Mary

Hampshire we have the exciting rumor thar
Col. Mcdonald ard his entire command w.s

captured. This news, however, We can scarce.

On Tuesday manSipg the enemy .appearedio

the peculiar locality Of the country, Col. Nc.

returned to drive the enemy from their posi-.

And what, we would ask, has become Of tho
State governments, that they cannot take cog
nizance of questions affecting their internal
interests, and the private industry OF their
citizens? II, indeed, there be merit in the gen.
eral idea suggested-of the purchase OF the
cotton crop by Government; if the cotton
crop, while it may not be sold, can be held in
the aggregate and by Government, with less
injury to public and private veal than in the
hands of the citizens who severally own it;
if in the hands Of the Government it may be
used as q basis Of credit for the advantage Of
the owners, while, in the hands Of the owners
themselves, it cannot; if all these things be
true, then why not call upon the State govern.

surely have sufficient credit and dignity. In

better than that Of the central government.

Ought tho Confederate Government to PuT-
chase CottonY

We publish in another column a
cation from Hon. W. L. Sharkoy to the MIS-
sissippian," in which the affirmative OF inc
above proposition is maintained. AS we de-
sign some remarks upon the positions OF the
distinguished gentleman. we ask the reader TO
pause here until he has read the compunica'
ton referred To-
Judge Sharkey advocates the purchase Of
"the cotton crop" by the Confederate Govern
ment, 'op such portion Of said crop 'as may
bs thought necessary" the payment to be
made in Treasury notes, and the "cnd" aimed
a, being the furnishing of a sufficient "circu-
lating medium" What amount Of circulating
medium is necessary, in the opinion Of the
Judge. he does not distinctly state, though
he says sit must Of necessity greatly exceed
the amount to be contributed 10 the support
Of the Government; )" and this amount he esti'
mates at two hundred millions Of dollars an
nually. Without stopping to suggest how
this might not be necessary, by simply avoid
ing the simultaneous collection Of the taxes,
and without taking any exception to his hg-
ures, let US see where his proposition will lead
us.

myself upon the public; but you can say for
me that l have consented to become a candi-

should say that, having done all that could,

equality, am equally ~resolute in my determ'
nation 10 resist all attempts should any be
made for its restoration, being unalterably OPP

The Yankee Invaders Stealing Negroes

Correspondence Of tho Richmond Enquirer.
LEEsBURG, Va, Oct. l, 1861.
The Yankee invaders in this quarter, true
to their natural instincts, continue to steal all
the negroes they can lay their hands on, under
the belief that by this means they will break
up the farming and planting interests of the
South, and in the end subduc us. With the as.
ssFtion on their lips that they are now engaged
in upholding the Constitution and the laws,
and protecting the rights and property of the
people, they are daily engaged in destroying
all kinds of property, carrying off all they
can, and maltreating every citizen who dares
to raise an objection to such Vandalism. AS
far as the Lincolnites have progressed in this
section, destruction has marked their path
They have carried off all Of Maj. Nuts ne
.groes-fourteen in cumberland all Of Maj.
Simmons'-ten in number-and no tidings can
be heard Of them. It seems to Inc that some.
thing should be done to avert these contra
band proceedings.
All eyes are now turned towards the move.

STIRRING THEN Ur.-The Cincinnati "Oom-
mercial" says:
If there is any such thing as State pride in
the State of Ohio, it should begin to be excr-
cised about these times. Ohio has not in the
field at this moment, to fight for the Union,
any more troops than the little State Of Ar
kansas has to fight against il. We believe
Ohio is doing less for the country, in proper
ton to her population and wealth, than any
other State; Pennsylvania may be an excep-
ton. But Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. In
diana, New York, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, are leaving US far behind.

TEE MARION OF TIE WAR--The Natche

TEE MARION OF THE WAR--The Natchez
Courier" Of the 10th says:
By universal consent Gen. JEFF. Thompson
is the Marion Of this war. He is followed by
an army without shoes or hats, and with coats
and pants c.. tailed Of their fair proportions,
but who can whip with ease double the num-
Der of Hessians who may dare encounter them.
They arc a breed OF warriors the like of which
never was seen. 4 few hundred Of them are
holding Southwestern Missouri against Ere
mont and all his hosts. The response of Gen.
jeff. to Fremonts proclamation is a model
document Napoleon never cxcrlled it. We
confess to o special admiration for the great
