Progress that General Hill has preferred charges
against Col Siugeary growing of his late expe-
dition, and that Major Slngeltary, the brother of
the Colonel, has preferred charges against General
Hill. Things appear to be in muss about New
bern, and there is some excitement. We're Lin
coins steamers 10 make their appearance New
bern in the midst Of the stew, matters would be in
bad kettle of fish," 1t seems to US that all par
ties are making more ado than is needful, about
bringing officers before a court-m martial. During
war, it is often daily business, and never amounts
to anything unless the offence has been highly
criminal. No one can suppose that Col. Sngeltary
or Gen. Hill has acted viciously or by design done
wrong yet as matter of form if for nothing else,
irregularities have to be inquired into and if need
be corrected, without any body being hurt. Com.
Lynch We see from card in the Petersburg En-
press takes part in the matter also, but as We
have only presented few of the leading facts con-
nected with the affair, instead of publishing the
"carls, we shall take no part in the matter We
hope for the sake of the cause which we all have at
heart that the excitement will be speedily allayed,
and that the law and discipline of the army will be
firmly and humanely enforced, without the inter-
ference of other parties.
RETALlArIoN.-The last Richmond Enquirer con.
Secretary of War, and Gen. Winder, in relation to
the selection of Yankee prisoners to be executed in
the event that Lincoln shall order the execution of
the crew of the ship Savannah, as pirates Mr.
Benjamin directed Gen. Winder to choose by lot
from among the prisoners Of the highest rank one
who is to be confined in cell appropriated to con-
victed felons, as the Southern privateersmen are
confined, and to be executed if Smith, recently con-
victed in Philadelphia, shall be executed. The
drawing took place, was fairly conducted, and the
lot fell on Col Corcoran, who is now prisoner at
Charleston. Gen. W. also selected by lot thirteen
Others to for thirteen privateersmen still to
be tried in Philadelphia and the lot fell on Coonels
Lee, Cogswel:, Wilson, Woodruff, and Wood, Lieu
tenant Colonels Bowman and Neff, Majors Potter,
Revere and Vosdes, and Captains lockwood, Bow
man and Keifer. Col. Bowman, we believe, is
prisoner in this place. If the Southern privateers
men are executed these will certainly be execu-
tedalso. 1t will be hard but just fate. 1t is impos-
sible to foresee what Lincoln will do He has de-
clared it to he his purpose to treat the privateers
men as pirates, and he may do so. If he should

j The Lynchburg Republican
! publishes a letter from Camp Gau-
ley, where Floyd's Brigade has
been encamped, in which the fol-
lowing incident is related. The
selfsacrificing disposition and the
patriotism of our young country
women has been strikingly exhib-
tied since hostilities begun; so have
their courage and spirit. But
among all the incidents related we
have seen none to surpass this.
The correspondent says:
"A few days after the fight at
Skerry, near Charleston, Kanaw-
ha, two or three Yankee officers vis-
tied the house of a MIR. Fry, who
had been driven from his home
by the enemy. A daughter of
Mr.: Fry saw them approaching
through the gate, and confronted
them in the. porch with a demand
to know their business. They
stated that they were hunting Sc
cession flags, and heard that there
were some there
The correspondent then gives
her reply, which is truly heroic,
worthy the best days of chivalry,
and deserves to be handed down to
future generations in letters bright
and enduring Here it is: @

Edward Everett on subjusalialnl. o !

All have read Mr.. Everett s blood
and andthunderrecentspeech at the flag
presentation in Boston. A little
more than a year ago, in his letter
accepting the nomination for Vice
President, when he had no mo-
tive or delirium to swerve him from
Justice and truth, he indited the
following language, conveying apic-
ture of subjugatien as eloquent as
it is terrible: ' " d
The suggestion that the Union
can be maintained by the numer-
ical predominance. and military
prowess of one section, exerted to
eoeree the other. into submission,
is, in my judgment, as self con
Trajectory as it. is dangerous. 1t
comes loaded with death smell,
from fields wet with brothers
blood. If the, vital principle OF
all republican governments is the
consent of the governed, much
more does a Union OF ,co-equal
sovereign States require as Its ha-
sis the voluntary cooperation IN
its organic functions.

A Little More Grape, Capt. Bragg.

General Braxton Bragg entered
West Point as a cadet in 1888;
graduated in the class of 1897,
and was appointed Brefet Sec
ond Lieutenant, Third Artillery.
During the fall and winter OF that
year he was engaged IN the com
missary Department and as Acting
Adjutant; in July, 1888, he was
raised to the rank of First Lieu
tenant. For gallant conduct In
the defence Of Fort Brown, on
9th May, 1916, he was raised to
the full rank OF Captain He par
ticipated as prominent actor in
the several engagements before
Monterey, Mexico. In Septem-
Der, 1916, for gallant conduct was
breveted Major; on the glorious
fed Of Buena Vista, 23rd Febru-
airy, lS47, when his battery saved
the day, the breyet rank Of Lieu
tenant Colonel was awarded to
him.
It was on this latter occasion,
when cold Zack Taylor" felt that
the fortunes of the day hung in
the balance, that Bragg's Battery
was unlimbered near the Comman-
der-in-Chief. A heavy column OF
Mexicans, victorious at almost
every point, was seen approaching.
Captain Bragg held his fire until
the enemy were close up, when
he commenced such cannonade
as was unheared of In the annals
of Mexican warfare. In the
twinkling of an eye the column
halted, wavered, turned and fed;
and an officer of the army after
wards made this remark to Us,
'The way the heads, arms, and
legs of the Mexicans flew about,
was caution" /"
General Bragg remained in the
army until January, 1856, when
he resigned, and has since been en-.
gagged in planting in Louisiana,
and upon the secession Of Louis
lana, he promptly left the plow
for the sword, and received from
President Davis, q Brigadier's COM
mission and the command of Pen
sacola, Fla, He is d native of
North Carolina, and reflects dis
tinguished credit not only on the
State Of his nativity, but also up
on that of his adoption. &

Goob Misfellany,
Let Your Children catch the Mea-
sles. H' =

slaS.
we have long questioned the
propriety of parents attempting to
shield their children, while young,
from having such diseases as mea-
sizes, mumps, scarlet fever, whoop-
ing-cough, sc. Neither Of these
diseases attacks the same person
a second time, and as they almost
invariably go lighter with children
than with adults, and seem to get
hold of every body some time or
lother, may it not be doing good
service for parents to put their
little ones in the way, rather than
iout of the way, Of the class of
diseases mentioned?
The Christian Advocate has tie
following article in reference to this
matter: '
The sickness among our soldiers
in the different camps seems to be
great. Thousands Of them are
now down with measles, fever, etc.
why will s'fdnd parents" dodge
measles. and such like diseases for
their children when they are
young? They can be nursed; they
have time to be sick, and more
than all can be sick at hoae, and
thenceforth are not liable to these
contagious diseases, can minister
to Others, travel abroad in safety,
and not be in bondage unto fear
all their life long. Hundreds, yea
thousands of volunteers who are
now, have been, and will be sick
in camp, when their country can
Ill spare them, and when the op-
portunities for nursing and chan
ces for recovery are lessened,
might have been safely pitt through
at home, when young, under the
care of parents and relatives. We
do. not advise anybody to hunt
up measles, and set in the way
of danger, but when it comes
along in the order of providence
take, your chances for better or for
worse. +,.,.
P.S-A friend at our If elbow asks
Us if ace practice what we preach;
don't aoe Shield our little folks too
from the measles, and whooping
cough? We do practice this
preaching. Four Of our children
have had the measles, whoopimg
cough, scarlet fever, yellow fever,
and mumps, and been vaccina-
ted for the small pox. Thanks
to a gracious Providence, and to
Dr.. Austin, our Louisiana family
physician, fol, getting safely on
thus far. Is there, anything else?

its wealth unsparingiy' into the

North should attempt to deiray the

Stocking the Cards"

Before the Lincoln General,
Grant, occupied Paducah, Ky-s an
q, ticle, says an exchange, appeared
in the Chicago Times, a Republican
srgan, every line Of which has had
verifcation. TO show how thor
oughly the programme was plann-
cd, we subjjoin a single paragraph:
An understanding has been had
on this step with Union men in
Kentucky Legislature, and the oc-
cupation of PadGcah viii be sane
toned bv an act of the Legisla-
ture. The act will be vetoed OF
course hy Gov. Magoifn, but it will
be passed ever his veto +, II
The Lincolnitcs have evidently
been too smart all along for the
true men Of Kentucky. The Leg
islature, even, was stocked by a
corrupt election, and domestic
treason, acting in unison with
allen stratagem, has gained Ken
