Necessity of Discipline.

In the diminished condition IF our male popu-
laton in and about this village, there IL an impe-
riuus necessity for vigilance and discipline in our
domestic matters and the same remark will ap
ply to almost every neishburhood in the district.
We earnestly suggest that the Vigilance As'ocia-
tions have work befure ,hsn which it is important
should be faithfully attended to, for the next two
months at least. It is comparatively an idle time
on the plantations, and ne the Christmas holidays
approach there il always nntural inclination to
loose conduct 10 certain class of our population.
It is surely the par: Of wisdom, in the present
emergency, to take care in due time that every
thing Of the sort be entirely prevented; And to
this end, it would he well to reorgnaize PATROLS
at once in every direction. 1t would be well fur
therlnore for planters to adopt soms stringent
agreement in respect to the extent of privileges
they may grant their negroes tur some time to
come; And we would particularly urge the Town
Council of this place tu loak into this busineBs ut
once und to adopt, and carry into effect, such an
ordinance MS may fully meet the disorders and
dangers uf the season.

be something seriously wrong, when these petty

News of the RaeL

Among the items Of news which NAV be found
in present issue, il will be seen that the plan
tiers upon the islands are adopting the course Of
burning all they cannot save FROM the threatened
invasion. The deep spirit OF cnmity and high
resolve thus manifested, eauhot fail to produce
marked effect at once, both at home and abroad.
1t would appear that an advance by McCLEL.
Ian is still expected, on both sides, before tho
Unified States Cousress meet, which will be on
the f.at Of next month.
The news frura England is uafavorablc to m
interpositon Oh the part Of that government in
our favor. See intelligence from Nashville, DUR.
porting to have been received by late steamer.
Some think this il but upper-dcck tulk for the
marines the sailors may or may not believe il as
they list. Whatever the truth may be-, is it not
better to sguelch at once this long INDUCED expec
tation Of help from England and France, and TO
act IS though it would never come. Cotton was
to have opened orr ports by the 1st of November,
or, at the lenst, have obtained The recognition of
-our independence; But neither event has vet oc-
Cured. 1t will probably turn out that Ponder,
and not Cotton, is to be the mighty King of our
safety.
The Federal triumph at Port Royal, it will be
seen, has caused great rcjoicings at the North.
The magnificent Yankee nation is wonderfully
uplted at the idea that four hundred of their best
guns could, and really did, silence some forty
Confederate pieces Of inferior calibre. Tremen-
dous achievement! The world may next expect
to see them meet us in fair battle with no greater
odds than two to one. We trust the affair at
Port Royal Will to stimulate them up to this
point of heroism ;-it will then have done us rs
much good as victory.
