THE CITIZEN SOLDIERY.-The senior
editor of the Memphis -Avalanche has jus
returned from short visit to the South
Fl says: What we saw and heard during
our absence convinced US that there is nj
power on earth that can subdue the South
eru people. From Memphis to New Or
leans, every highway was choked with I
company of brawuy militia. FROM Mobile
to Corinth, Mississippi, every depot swarm
cd with stalwart men ready aud anxious tt
march in defence of the South. Nearly ;
thousand troops were on the train from
Mobile, and we found at every depot Il com
paDy of robust soldiers, full Of robust health
expert in the use of weapons, Injured tt
hardships, and burning with enthusiasm
Indeed, the South presents the appearance
Of great camp. The very genius of bat
tie secms to have descended upon our peo
pie. The stupendous uprising of the war
like yeomaury far surpasses public expec
tation.
Every cabin furnishes its man, ready tt
20 forth in defence of their menaced iber
ties. Every man seems to comprehend the
mighty issues for which they are ready t.
battle Nor was the heart of man alone
stirred with patriotic emotions. Thous
ands of women througed the roadside, ane
with their tears and smiles ncrved the hear
of the soldier with strength and hope
From each house-top Aoatcd the Ccnfede
rate Flag, and from almost every window
and door waved a white handkerchief
The sleek, fat negro, seeming to compre
hend that he was happier and far bette
cared for than the poor whites of the North
paused in the unfinished furrow, and raisec
his dusky cap in cheers for the train Of sol
diers that was rushing by. Talk abou
subjugating such people What pro
fanation! |!

Under this head the Charleston Courier
says:
We were much gratifed yesterday on
visiting the foundry of the Messrs. Eason's,
in Columbus street, to observe on hand a
large supply of balls, shells, &c., made to
order for the State. They have also in
successful operation machinery for riaing
cannon and muskets. We understand the

to rife several hundred muskets q day in
addition to the work done upon cannon.

EPISODES OF THE BLoCKADE.-We

was that the saucy little steam privateel
Calhoun, with Yankee skipper, has beer
playing some ugly tricks with the United
States frigate Brooklyn. The on dit i,
that the Brooklyn was decoyed into shal

NOR verified as yet, but give it for what il

A gentleman just arrived in this city
from New Orleans reports that the blocka
ding steamer Brooklyn, at the mouth O
the Mississippi, went ashore before he left
and that she careened to such degree that
her guns could not be made to bear on any
thing. He further reports that the inhabi
tants we're alive in preparation for relieving
the Brooklyn and placing her under Con
federate attentions.

THE WAR SPIRIT IN New ORLEANS
The De7ta says More than eight thousand
soldiers have left this city for the scene of
hostilities, and yet no sensible diminution
of our fighting population is observable
The entire interruption of the usual travel
to the North, leaves US larger population
than we usually have at this season of the
year. The number of our soldiers who
have left does not reach fourth of the
number of travellers and pleasure seekers,
who usually 20 nothward at this season.
A great and beneficial revolution has thus
been accomplished. The millions expend
ed in the North will be either kept at home
or expended in the South, in support of
our soldiers. The rich and comfortable of
our people, the heads of families and of
business houses, now stay at home as the
Home Guard, whilst the young and active

The "can't get away" boys have thus a

those who have been in service at Peusa

A NOVEL METHOD OF TAKING PICK

the Mobile Register has novel plan fol-
capturing Fort Pickens. He says:
1t is well known that there are some
chemicals So poisonous that an atmosphere
impregnated with them makes it impossi
BILE to remain where they are, as they would
destroy life or interfere 50 much with res
piration as to make fresh air indispensable

be shown to be no means chimerical anc
not only chimerical, but easily effected.

Everybody almost knows that burning ret
pepper, even in small quautities-a tea
spoonful-will clear the largest room of
crowd in few minutes that the least smut
of veratria will make one cough himself al
most to death, and run great risk of cough

gases are so poisonous to life that the small
