Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1861-06-10

Planters of the south, we entTeat YOU by all
you hold dear in this life, and by all the hopes
you have for your postcrity, to open your
purses and drain them to the last dollar, rather
than the government should suffer for want Of
pecuniary aid to defend your liberties. Bet,
ter, far better, were it TO sacrifice your whole
property and leave your children poor, but free,
than that the vigor of our operations should
be paray Zed for want OF money.
EXECUTION OF SPY--'rhe Richmond
Despatch says The report prevailed in that
city last week, that son of the law partner
of Louis Mackenzie, whose office is in Alex
andria, the last named member of tile firm is
well known in this city us a violent Union
man, and president of the Loudoun and Hamp
shire railroad, was yesterday taken prisoner
by several South Carolina volunteers. On
examining his person, a map of Harper's Fer
ry was found adroity concealed in the collar
of his coat, together with manuscript EN-
bodying the writer's idea in regard to the ct.
fectve force and disposition of the forces at
that point, and the most probable way I'm which
an attack could be made by the federal troops
with the likelihood OF success. With this ev-
idence upon him, he is said to have been hung
as spy. We give the report for what it is
worth. 1t came from gentleman who con-
versed with another who saw the body hang
ing, and gave him the facts.
The WATERS OVER Fort MoULTRIE.-The
Charleston Mercury of Il recent date says
AS the site OF the old Fort Mouirie, Of the
revolution, is now covered by the waters of
the ocean, 50 does that part of Morris Island
where our batteries were planted against Sum-
ter seem destined to be washed away. The
encroachments of the sea haye lately been
greater than at any previous period, and Cum.
ming's Point will, if they continue, soon cease
to be. Some Of the works which it was not
deemed necessary to level, and which we had
supposed might remain for years, evidences of
the industry OF our troops, have melted away.
The tents even of some of the troops now
guarding the channel batteries were washed
down, and their camp had to be removed
What the effect will be upon cur harbor,
should this island wash away, we cannot say.
"THE HERO JACKSON The Mobile Mer-
curry thus practically canoniZes its hero: 1--WE
are glad to see general move in many of our
southern cities TO manifest in most subsan-
iial manner, their appreciation of the heroic
act of Mr.. jackson, in killing the bastard Els
worth for his insult TO the confederate flag
In New Orleans, as well as in this city, sub
scrptlonS were set on foot to raise money for
his family, consisting of wife and four chill
dren, whom he leaves in comparatively desi-
tute circumstances. In these two cities alone,
were raised, which we doubt not will be great
ly increased. Other cities have also sub.
scribed literally TO this fund. Mr. Jackson
was The same gentleman, who with a few 9TH
er brave Virginians pulled down the republ-
can flag near Alexandria and horse-whipped
the leader of the band who hoisled it, some
time since. Such men ought to have lease
on lille, and be impregnable to the bullets of
such dastards as Ellsworth's Zouaves
MATTERS AT PENsACoLA.--The Mobile Adj
vertiser says 1t is announced, we believe
correctly, that the last of the expected big guns
is not far from Pensacola indeed may be in
position by this time. 1t is also stated that
Fort Pickens and the island were again rein
forced day or two ago by some troops and
marines from large sidewheel steamer

from the north for that purpose The federal
lists are reported active on Santa Rosa. The
troops are severely disciplined and are evil
