the turning back of the Star of the West,
the preparations made for the defence of

the cowardly midnight retreat into Fort

formidable looking body of men, we are
informed by a gentleman who has seen
them, never have been congregated on this

feet in height, and being built in proper
ton, they look more like modern Sampsons

companion almost from infancy, and they
are confessedly the best marksmen the world

now the farmers anticipate cutting thirty
bushels of wheat to the acre, and the reap

God With us!

1t was the blasphemous saying of some
great warrior-we forget now who-that
God always took sides with strong regi-
ments. We are satisfied, from all our read.
ings of history, that Gods justice prevails
over all-and, whether it is the weak or
the strong, that, in the end, He will sup
port the truth, the right, the pure, the just.
We are not to determine what His judg,
ments shall be from the casualties of sin
gle hour.
We believe that God is with US. We
solemnly believe that most Providential
care has guided and strengthened US thus
far against the blind RACES Of our enemy;
that, even in those respects in which We
fancied we had lost an advantage-as in
Anderson's abandonment of Moutrie and
taking possession of Sumter-we were mis-
taken; and that the very strategies of our
enemies became the secret of their over.
throw. And so of all the falsehoods of the
Northern press, and so of all the mean, Gun
ming trickery of the Government at Wash
iugtou land so of almost every event since
the beginning of our struggle for peace and
independence. The strongest fortress in
the country-supposed to be too strong for
all the power of South Carolina, under a
sige Of mouths-is overthrown in thirty
three hours. The fortress, so impregnable
and so eagerly seized upon, becomes a rat
trap, from which the rats are smoked out.
Even the military vanity, which insists up
on saluting its flag at its overthrow, with
une hundred guns, is rebuked by an explo-
sion which Gusts the garrison more lives
than were lost during the bombardment.-
Verify, ii We needed signs and auguries,
we have had them, and of the most grateful
character
Yes we solemnly believe that Provi-
Dental interpostion is about to rescue US
from the cormorant tribes that have been
fattening so long upon our substance. We
