JAChSON AAAINR.- W Z anticipated
some foine" writing over the death of
jackson, the murderer of Ellsworth, but we
confess the Charleston Mercury exceeds the
highest stretch of our Imagination in that
line. We copy from it:
War has commemorative soil of Virginia
has been invaded and occupied by a rufian
horde; and, if we mistake not the stuff of
which Southern men are made, that blow
has been struck which shall peal, like the
lightning of heaven over the vast forest,
through the millions of burning hearts at
the South. Not so much that Virginia has
been outraged; not so much that Alexau-
dria has been Overrun not that Hampton
is occupied but that one of those deeds of
heroism has been performed which paints
the pages of history in light bring back
the days of noble chivalry, and spread glo-
ry over the escutcheon of the Mother State
The deed of patriotism, performed by Jack
son, has stained, for the first time, the
Stars and Bars" of the Confederate flag
with blood-and that blood worthy of a true
Southern beart-the blood of martyr and
a hero.
Upon his own hearth he fell, arms in
hand, dealing death to the insu}ter of that
hag-one man against thousand murder
ers. He fell, hewed to pieces by the rabble
hordes. But his spirit will live-will live
upon the storm-and, like the hurricanes
of the South, will sweep from the uttermost
shores of the Gulf to the rugged mountain
peaks of the North. 1t will soar over the
field OF bloody battle to come, and shrek
! aloud Tor vengeance, amidst carnage 1t
| shall rush forth in the booming of every
cannon, and snail CLEAN III the flash of
every Southern blade. And it will live
! too, in times to come, when the smoke of
battle shall have passed away, and the
memory of blood shall have almost been
forgotten. The name of jackson shall be
enshrined in the heart of Virginia, as the
name of Jasper iu South Carolina, and re-
corded upon the brightest pages of her
history. His death is a victory won, and
his name should be inscribed, in monument
tai marble, by the side OF Virginia's wor-
thiest sons.
Would it not have been well enough for
the Mercury to have ascertaincd whose
blood stained the flag before il pronunaced
it the " blood of a martyr hni h.ro ? "
SCARCITY OF Provisions AT MEMPHIS
DISTRESS OF TIRE WORKING CLAssEs.-The
Memphis Appeal mentions the shipment of
bacon from New Orleans to that city A
communication from A Hard Working
Man" in the same issue of the Appeal, com
plains of great rise in the prices of all
kinds of provisions. The writer says:
Hams, that a week ago could be bought
at retail at IA cents per pound, are to-day
selling at 20 cents. Flour has advanced
from 81 to "a per barrel sugar % per
cent; bacon. butter, and everything else
necessary to support life, in the same ratio
and this, too, in the face of the fact that be
poor, the working men, the mechanics, are
out of work, unable to find employment
and entirely dependent.

DEAR --: They have prepared two
hospitals, and they are filing with the sick.
The great difficulty is about nurses. The
ladies are all engaged in making clothing
for the soldiers, and if female nurses were to
come here, there are no places for them to
lodge. Provisions and comforts suitable
for the sick are much needed servants are
also wanted to cook and wash. The sick
have no comforts but what are sent from
the city. There were fourteen sick men
brought to the hospital yesterday, affected
with brain fever, rheumatism, and bloody
fiuX. Poor fellows, so far from their homes
and mothers. l fear they are not nursed
as they would be at home

WHAT He FEARED---A friend of ours remarked
to us recently that there were but two things that
he was afraid of---d dog, and liar. We thought
his fear very excusable, in both cases yet not
so much so in the case of the dog, as of the liar
OF all enemies liar is most to be feared He hits
In the dark, and stabs from behind. His object is
not manly attack on your person, where you can
make a Defense but he attacks your name, your
fame, your character. He sneaks around, like q
reptile leaving his Shiny track in soiled and black
ened regulations. An open manly foe is to be re-
spected, but the miserable, sneakng liar is only I'll
