advantage of their absence on what they pro.

V. Finally, it has been their custom from
time immemorial to pay NortherDers for their
goods as they pleased and when they pleased,
and to repudiate whenever they found paying
inconvenient. To make them pay now is to

Since we desire to see brotherly love resume
its benignant sway we must protest against
any such rasping of the feelings Of "oul

"Tats wives, take lives, take anything bat purses
Such is the shortest way to generate curses"
We have no time to pursue the subject;
but, unless there are cogent reasons to be ad
duced on the other side, the Chamber mus
conclude that this getting after the swlndliDt

yet known--for our information is meager; the
guDboat drew on the pirate as far as she
thought il desirable, then turned, and ran the
Sumter ashore, taking its officers and crew
prisoners. These are taid to be on board the
United States ship Niagara. 1t is true that
our latest previous news from the Niagara
does not mention such capture; but the date
of that news is one day earlier than this, and
the objection to the authenticity OF our dis
patch on that account is not fatal. 1t 10 cor'

stopped in his course, and we have reason 10
believe that it has been at last done.

tho mass, that il msy always be studied

German, Irish, and Scotch 6gbs under the same
banner with the American, who may himself
be kindred to either, nationality cannot be dis
regarded. Discipline is essential to all, but
different methods mnst be used with unlike
races. SO, various kinds Of service require
dissimilar material. For oil purposes national
peculiarites require to be studied, and nothing
but study will answer. Military traditions may
be only mischievOus. Blucher declared that the
Prussans would not stand in line. He formed
them in column at Lgny, and they were beaten

Campaigns are to be planned ond battles
fought, not as the general would, but as he
must An army needs to feel not only that
its general is sklful and brave, but that it
and he are parts Of one organization; that he
knows his troops and that they may trust
him. The terse sentence of Mcclellan, You
stand by me and III stand by you" shows
how thoroughly he understood to what he must
appeal. Confidence may not be oil that is in.
cluded in or necessary to morale, but no other
element enters into it more largely. 1t is faith
in his officers, himself, and the war, which in
spires the soldier with the patient fortitude to
endure the hardships Of campaign, and KIM
dies the courage which despises death.

THE PyRATE SUMTER.

II is not often that in one day such a variety
Of great newe can be published as we put forth
this morning. That TO which we especially
allude now is the capture Of the pirate Sum-
ter, already prematurely reported several times,
but now apparently really accomplished. The
intelligence is in brief form, but does not
seem intrinsically improbable, while ii rests,
beyond this, on strong positive testimony.
Whether the captain Of this impudent pirate
has really gone abroad and consequently left
his vessel, bereft of bis directing skill 10 20 to
ruin, or whether much success had made her
officers bold overmucb, We cannot say. But it
seems that they went in headlong haste after
supposed merchantmen, hoping to add o
rich prize to sheir list Of booty. Unfortunately

ysSTOEY IN KENTUCKY.

AMID all the cheering news with which ou
columns are this morning filed, the intelligence
which comes from Kentucky is especially in
epiritiog The Rebels have been attacked al
pikegille by the National troops under Gen.
Nelson, and utterly routed, losing 400 slain,
aad great number of prisoners, the report
being that 1000 of the latter were taken We
know less about the position of warliLe affairs
ia Kentucky than in any other State; il was
some time since known, however, that Gen.
Nelson was on his way with 1900 men to Pres
touburg, where Gen. William Preston, J. C..
Bseekinridge, and :" Cerro GOrdo' Williams,
were cncamped with 500 Rebels. With Nelson
were Col. Harris and the I'd Ohio Regiment,
who. just previous to joining him, had defeated
a BODY of Rebels at Morgan; also, Col. Luke
Moore and Col. Metcalf Since this intel-
gence reached us, we have once had prema-
ture report that Prestonburg was taken but
with that exception, no word has come from
Nelson's little army till the good Begs which
ws publish this morning.
PkeyiIle, where the battle occurred, is the
capital Of Pike County, KY, about 20 miles
soatheast of Prestonburg and 100 miles in
Doriherly direction from Cumberland Gap. II
ia situated on the west fork Of the Big Sandy
Rieer. The rebels at PrestoDburg aud in that
yicia.ty have been for long time in sad
trouble concerning the spprehended approach
of the National troops, and in even greater
trepdaton by reason Of the loyalty Of Eastern
Kentucky. The counties in that section Of the
Stale have been nobly responding to the calls
OF tho brave men who proposed to lead them
to toe defense Of the Union, Madison, the
connty OF Cassius NJ. Clay, having sent out 900
well armed soldiers. 1t is supposed that, the
approach OF Gen. Nelson compelling the rebels
10 meet him in battle, they preferred to 60 sut
ia search Of q more advantageous fA.
Whether this was SO or not, the fact stands
that the opposing armies fought at PiAeylIe for
two days, with the result briefly communicated
by telegraph.
From the account we have received Of this
briIlisnt engagement, it seems that our Gen.
erals were as conspicnously successful in STRAIT.
sgy as their men were daunliess in bravery.

Castle Pinokney, Charleston HarbOr.
Castle Pinokney is 10 become to the South
what Fort Lafayette is TO the United States
Government-the receptacle for State pris-
onefs. The one hundred and ffty-six men
(part Of the number taken at Bull RUM
having been sent from Richmond, to be de-
tanned as prisoners of war in this fort once
moro brings il into public notice, although
not in the Same attitude rs in the engage
ment and bcmbardment Of Fort Sumter We
therefore give short description of the
abiding place Of our imprisoned soldiers.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FORT.
Castle Pinckney is a small work, situated
on the southern extremity of Shute's Folly
Island, between the Hog and Folly chan
nels. Though not in itself very consider
able military work, yet from its position
commanding, as it does, the whole line Of
eastern wharves- it becomes of the utmost
Importance to be held by the State of South
Carolina. It is, in fact, the immediate out
work of the city of Charleston, used at least
as u means of preventing the landing Of an
enemy or as prison for those poor fellows
who may be taken by the rebels.
In its plan it presents to the south o
semi circular face, the eastern and western
faces being formed by the line of ramparts
following the direction of the tangent to the
circular arc at its extremity, and for the dis
tance of twenty yards (; the northern side is
plain; at both the northeastern and north
western angles are semi-circular bastions,
the outer extremities of the arcs being tan
gent respectively to the eastern and western
sides of the fort. There are two rows of
guns-the lower being in casemates (bomb
| proof the embrasures for which are about
| seven feet above low water mark, and the
upper being en- bdrbette. The hight Of the
rampant is twenty and the width thirty-two
| feet. The width of the outer wall and of
the parapet is six feet the depth of the
casemate is twenty feet the hight ten; the
| diameter, east and west, of the castle is one
hundred and seventy feet.
The entrance is on the northern side, on
either side of which are the officers and pri-
Yates quarters, messroom, etc. The ascent
to the barbette is made on the Northeastern
| and northwestern corners Of the terre-para-
| dclplcjn. In the centre of the latter is the
furnace for heating shot, in case of an en-
| gGgement. Around the foot of the scarp is
q break-water, about twelve feet in width,
| horizontally, which has its western side
extended in a tangent direction to the south
to form the landing The landing is pro-
tected by the fire of several guns, sweeping
its length. The armament of this castle
consists of about twenty-five pieces-twenty
four and thirty-two Founders, few sea-coast
mortars and six columbads The work has
of late been put inte as thorough repair as
ossible.--Nelo York Herald
