Sunday a Day of Battles.

The great battle of Barnet was fought
on Easter Sunday, April IA, AL. The
battle of Valid, or Laffeld, near Maestricht,
was fought on Sunday, the I'd Of July,
1857. The Peninsula was fruitful in Sun
day fighting. The second battle in Por-
tugal, that in Fimiera, was fought on
Sunday, 3lst of August, 1903. The bat
tie of Fnetus donor was gained on Sun
day, 5th of May, 1911. On Sunday even
ing, 10th of January, 1912, Lord Wei.
lington issued the brief but determined
order that "Cuidad Raderigo must be car.
ried by assault this evening at o'clock" "
The battle of Orthes was fought on Sun
day, the 9th of February, 1914, and
that Of Toulouse, the last general action
of the Peninsula war, occurred on Eas-
ter Sunday, the 10th of April following
The battle of Waterloo was also decided
on Sunday, the 18th of June, 1915. The
second Bermese war afforded two ex.
amples-Easter Sunday, the llth OF
April, 1855, the attack on the lines OF
defence at Rangoon, and the attack and
capture of Pegu, on Sunday, the 2lst of
November, 1852. The victory Of mixer.

Recovering the Forts and Public
Property in the Seeded States.

1t will be remembered that when Lin
coin went into Office, the determination
he expressed was to recoverthe forts and
public property in the possession of the
seeded States. Let us see how far he
has succeeded. He has inaugurated
policy which costs the Government of
the United States at least one million
dollars per day. About one hundred
millions has already been expended in
making preparations to recover this
property, and yet the stupendous under
taking has hardly commenced; he has
lost Sumter; and, if he continues in the
prosecution of his policy, will not only
bankrupt the Government which he pre-
tends to administer, sacrifice thousands
of his people, and at last fail in the re-
covery of single fort. He is certainly
engaged in one of the most visionary
schemes of ambition that ever entered
the head 3f mortal man; and when the
Northern people who are now engaging
in this worse than foolish enterprise,
shall begin to realize the results that
must inevitably follow, then they viii
begin to curse the day they ever heard

Movements IN Arkansas--Procl
ton of Gen. Ben. McCulloch.

The Memphis appeal of the I'd inst,
publishes the following proclamation of
Ben. McCulloch to the people of Arkan-
sas to which the Appeal suggests that
portion of the organized forces of West
Tennessee, the gallant volunteers, might
respond by forward movement" in
answer to the call OF Arkansas to aid
Missouri
Citizens of Arkansas: To defend your
frontier, troops of Missouri are falling
back upon you. If they are notsustained
your State will be invaded, and your
homes desolated. All that can arm
themselves will rendezvous at Fayette-
vile, where they will await further or
ders. All those who have arms of the
State will march to the scene of action,
or give their arms to those who will not
desert their country in the hour of dan
ger. All organized companies, whether
cavalry or infantry, will report at Fayette-
vile, and be at once formed into regi-
ments and battallions. The necessary
subsistence stores will be forwarded from
this post. Rally, promptly, then, citi-
zens of Arkansas, and let us drive these
Northern hordes back from whence they
came. BEN. MCCuLLocH,

One of the Frauds,

New York papers of the 2lst, June,
received by the Richmond Examiner,
mention the creation of the Office of In
spector of Subsistence, ard show its ne.
cessity by a statement of one fact out OF
many, viz: that the government had paid
s32, 200 for 1000 bbls. of ground coffee,
200 lbs. each. 1t was opened and analyz
ed, and found to contain from % to 80
per cent. of sand, and the remainder
burnt chickory and peas, the whole fla
vored with extract of coffee. The paper
adds, "New York has the honor of per

Lincoln's Troops Discontinued.

The Cairo correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican, writing under date of
the 10th instant, has the following para
graph, showing that there is good deal
of grumbling in the enemy's camp, and
that he is poor paymaster to his troops;
There is nothing new in camp, except
that there was grand brigade parade on
Saturday, and considerable powder was
burned in shooting off the heavy guns
There is a good deal of grumbling among
the men at not receiving any pay. The
majority Of them, probably, have not II
dime to buy Tobacco with. All depart
ments are destitute of money, and our
citizens who have furnished supplies, &C.,
can get nothing for their goods or labor.
This is very unpleasant state of things,
to say the least of it, and urless it can be
in some way remedied, it will go far to-
wards disorganizing the army. After the
worthless stuff furnished by the patriotic
Chicago bankers had been distributed,
there was no more money to be had
There is, also, considerable dissatisfaction
among companies, and even regiments
with regard to their officers, owing to the
miserable management and patsan favor
oil the Springfield authorities. These are
facts, and it is proper that they should be
stated

Direct Taxes and Audacity.

These are the means recommended by
the New York Express to end the war
successfully. 1t says: ..' ..a..
GAS the war is to be prosecuted let it
be done with gigantic and Titantic force!
Congress, extra session, ought forthwith
not only to levy high duty upon coffee,
hut to increase the duty on sugar. Di-
rect taxes must come, and the quicker
the better for the credit of the country.
"Loans" will not carry on the war, and
direct taxes are inevitable. The Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Chase, ought now to
be preparing his programme of farm tax,
poll tax, carriage tax, watch tax, &c.
"Audacity alone can end this war, be
fore Great Britain dare strike. Indeed,
we need something more, and that is, the
creation of revolution in England, by
our abolition orators here now. The
"Beechers," and the "Phillipses," and
'the strong-minded women" are all need
ed in England-on the stump, as now
they are no use here!" HN

aeA. The notorious Rev. Stephen II.
Tying is ambitious to excel Beecher and
Chever in his fanatical antics, and in in
cendiary politics. At late meeting of
the Young Mems Christian Association
of New York, to "provide for the relig-
ious wants of volunteers" Tying, after
trampling upon secession flag, said.-
we quote from the New York Times:
"He denounced Judge fancy as trying
to throttle the President with the writ OF
habeas corpus. If he had the power he
would put Judge Taney where he had
put that flag. Applause and hisses, +
He was Indifferent to any manifestation
of dsapprobation TO this sentiment"

such an infamous insult being offered ia

Interesting From Baltimore.

We learn from gentleman just from
Baltimore that the condition Of that un-
fortunate cityis deplorable in some re-.
spects; but that the tyrannical rule of
Lincoln's minions would, in the end,
certainly induce Maryland TO unite her
fortunes with the Southern Confcderacy.
Our informant states that when he left
Baltimore the city was full of Federal
troops. regiment, consisting of part
of Pennsylvania and the Boston Fly
ing Artillery, was stationed in front of
the Gilmore House, New York Regi-
ment in Exchange Place, battery of
brass field pieces on Monument Square,
in front of the residence Of Hon. Rever-
dy Johnson, ANITA battery in Exchange
Place. both unlimbered and ready for
action. ..H
In some of the wards the secession
feeling cannot be kept down. In the
eighth ward, the Confederate flag is con.
spicuous!y displayed, swivels being placed
in convenient places to protect it in case
an attempt is made to take it down.
The Black Republicans say that they
have $4,000 troops in and around Wash
ington. This is not believed, however
| by the Secessionists in Baltimore.

Editor Athens Post: Sir, as we have fire.
quently been urged to write to our
friends, we hope you will insert this in
your paper, and by so doing accommo-
date volunteers from McMinn county,
near Calhoun.
We deem it unnecessary TO say any
thing in regard to war movements, as it
is our belief that the people of Tennessee
are just about as well posted as we are
Ore thing we can say, we are ready for a
brush with the Northern cohorts when
ever we are called upon. We had little
brush with them few days ago, at New
Creek, killed four or five, and took two
pieces of artillery. Would have killed
more of them, were it not that they can
outrun o Minnie musket ball, and then
not half try.
Every thing is going on right with oui
Regiment, and particularly with our Com
pany. We have the best Captain that
ever did Captain, and as good Colonel as
we have any use for.
We want our friends to give our love
and best respects to the forces stationed
at Calhoun and Charleston. We know
something about the hardships they have
to endure-have learned they have t.
sleep in the Bridge with both ends of th'
Bridge open at the same time. Poor fel

What will be Gained by the WARP

We are far from being sure, says the
London Examiner, that the trial, bitter
though it be, will necessarily prove an
unalloyed evil to the people of America.
The territorial result of the first half
dozen battles and outfianking move
ments next autum, does not appear to US
by any means the most important conse-
quence likely to cnsue from the great
duel about to be fought. Nothing but
the test of physical encounter could put
an end to the wasting rivalry between
two conflicting systems of policy and
opinion which has long consumed the
best energies of society on the other
side OF the Atlantic. The permanent
formation of two separate coniederacies,
each more powerful than most of the
great kingdoms Of Europe. may not be a
vision acceptable to New England pride,
but it is contingency which sooner or
later seems to us inevitable, and from
which we own we anticipate far less of
evil than Of good. .-.-.-..

Mr.. Crittenden.

The Albany Evening Journal is Thnrlow
Weeds paper, and Thurlow Weed is Mr..
Stewards second self. When the journal
speaks it is understood to be rejecting
Mr.. Seward directly, and Mr.. Seward is
understood to be the ruling spirit of the
Black Republican administration. Well,
here is what that paper says about Mr..
Crittenden's appearance at the extra ses-
sion of Congress with his well thumbed
and threadbare compromise in his hand;
"Mr. Crittenden, it is greatly to be fear
ed, is coming to Washington for the pur-
pose CT finishing long and useful pub
lie life, ingloriously. in thhc present con-
dition of the country, no man can occupy
neutral, or an equal, or an unpronounc-
ed position. 1t is a condition of war-red,
bloody, fiery war, and Statesmen, like Sol
ders, must declare for Union or Disunion
must be Loyal or Disloyal-true men or
Traitors. If Mr.. Crittenden has not seen
enough of Rebellion to make him an out
an-out Union man, then his eyes are dim
and his perceptions dull. There is neither
leisure nor disposition, in or oat of Con.
gress, for temporising. The Statesman
who attempts to divert the attention OF
Congress from the sternest duties of pat
riotism, will find himself powerless and
| his efforts impotent"

Roy The Courier dt Hare laughs at
what it calls the unusual and even com
pletely absurd pretens;on" of the United
States Government, when it declares that
it will hold no intercourse with any gov
ernment which may recognize the indie
pendence of the Southern Confederacy.
The Courier says:-"We are not going to
discuss the grievances complained of by
the South; we believe them unfounded;
but we look to the principle, and we say
that from the moment that several SOW
ereign States of the American Confede-
ration believed themselves aggrieved by
the federal contract, they had right to
demand the revision or the annulling OF
the contract, &c. The pretensions OF the
North are nothing less than the invoking
the principle of Divine right; but Di.
vino right is too sick in Europe for us to
consent to recognize it in good health on
the other side of the Atlantic.

A Grave Mistake,

A cotemporary well remarks, that kna-
very in rulers and stupidity in subjects
seem to have taken the control of North
ern affairs. Hitherto the extremists of
that section have undertaken to main
tain voluntary union of States by means
of coercion. They seem TO have had no
idea that in this enterprise they we're alb
surdly opposing the ordinary laws of Pro-
violence and the irrevocable principles of
human nature. States are not ordered
by cannon, ard affection is not won by
fear.
No war of conquest has ever succeeded
which has not impaired to the conquered
people either security or n dignity
which they did not possess before. The
Romans, the legislators of classic times,
maintained order and peace among their
subjects, and gave the men Of Britain,
Sicily and Tarsus cause to exult that they
were Roman citizens. The Greeks con-
ferred upon the conquered East the no,
blest endowments of arts and literature.
Napoleon studied the Institutes of JUS
tinian, and won glory more enduring
and scarcely less by his "Code" than by
his brilliant victories. These illustrations
exhibit the rrovidential laws by which
wars, sooner or later, are decided. An
invading host is successful, in the main,
when it offers to people higher political
advantages than those which they have
inherited from their ancestors. 1t is un-
successful when it seeks not only to con-
quer, but to degrade them.
An overlooking of this law has been
the capital error of the Northern people.
Their unconcealed purpose has been, not
to benefit, but to subdue, the Confederate
States; to overthrow our institutions; to
abrogate the stately conservatism of our
laws; to inaugurate sedition in quiet
homes, and to withdraw laborers from
fruitful fields--in word, to withdraw
from the people everything of a heroic
sort which they have inherited from the
past. every substantial good which they
possess in the present, and every aspira
ton of hope and glory which relates
them to the future. And the highest po
litical principle that the Northern mind
has hitherto embraced, is that all this car
be easily accomplished either by the
votes, or else by the arms, Of popula,
majority. To suppose that they can be
successful in an enterprise inspirited by
such an idea, is to renounce the lessons o
history and to deny the Providence o
God.

We are informed that Messrs. Hale

companies. They are rubbing up their
old guns, thinking they may need them
before getting to Lincoln quarters. We
are not apt to give advice, but we do ad-

authorities. .
1t is impossible for you to get to the
North. Our State authorities will not
permit you to escape with intentions OF
returning to fight us. ~
Unarmed you were entitled to the pro
lection of the State. But after forming
yourselves into companies and taking ur
arms for the purpose of fighting the
State, you may be sure that the authors
ties will deal with you as they would with
any other offensive enemy.
