A Northern Compliment TO Pres.
dent Davis.

The Philadelphia Christian OBJ
server contains long letter from
a gentleman who has travelled ex-
iensively in the South, dated Rich
mond, July Oath, three days after
the battle of Manassas. The fol-
lowing is an extract:
After witnessing tbs solemn
scene, the reception Of the bodies
Of the Confederate officers killed
in the engagement, ETC. l went in
company with Rev. DR.. Mel. to
the Spotswood House, and heard a
thrilling, eloquent account of the
battle from the lips of the Presi-
dent himself. He is not q fluent
speaker; he does not hesitate, yet
his words seem to come with effort
but they come with power, when
they do come. have often heard
him speak before. Every word he
utters, thrills-it seems to come
from his heart direct TO the heart
of those addressed. He is one OF
the pIainest, most unassuming. but
most knid-hearted, affectionate,
Christian gentlemen | ever saw.
Everybody wins knows him, loves
President Davis. His soldiers will
willingly die fer him-so will the
citizens if he calls on tkem. He
occupies place in their hearts sec
ond only to that which Washing
ton held in the hearts of our grand
fathers. He paid a noble tribute tc
the valor and determination of oul
soldiers-fighting even after then
limbs had been shot off, and en-
couraging the others to push OF
when they were unable to rise
from their bloody coucbes of turf
he also paid a we'll merited com
pliment to the considerate manner
In which the wounded and prison
ers of the Federal army were treat
ed even by the owners of the farm
houses on the road (where they
were carried) who had been plum
dered and pillaged by some of thei,
nmber-and he commended theii
determination as worthy Of every
-southerner, "never to be naughty
to the humble, nor humble to tn
naughty"

Plans of The Euemv.

: L. A. B. Duckett, of Spring
Creek, Madison county, N. c., fur
nishes the Ashville News, with
the following:
A fellow named VIM. Cook,
hailing from Washington county,
Tennessee, recently made his APP
pearance in this neighborhood and
called on Mr.. r. S, Cook. The
latter soon discovered that his guest
was a 'bad egg and proceeded
to lay trap for him, by pretend
ing to be a Lincolnite, end soon
found that the bait took, and he
pumped the said VIM. Cook until
he got out of him all he knew.
Cook, among other things, impaired
to his new found Spring Creek
acquaintance the fact that there is a
regiment of tories in Greenville,
Tenn, commanded by one Blair,
one in Carter county, command
ed by Weaver; one on Cherokee
creek, commanded by Parks; and
that these men all have arms and
|accoutrements of every description.
He said Andy Johnson was to force
his way into East Tennessee with
a large body of Yankees, when
these tories are to scatter out
on their devils mission-scme to
Kentucky, some to Virginia, and
some to Western North Carolina.
Their work is to steal, kill and
burn. Ashville is to be burned
to the ground, and the inhabitants
L put to the sword. He further
more stated that he came through
the. mountains by way of Laurel,
in this county, and that the people
/, of that settlement viii fight un-
der the tory banner. He said
they were waiting for the troops
I, to leave for Virginia, to commence
operations. He said he was on
his way to Murphy, in Cherokee
county, to look around to see what
| the signs were in that quarter.
The people of Jonesborough can
| ascertain whether he has been
here by examining his head. They
will find some hair missing, where
the ''wool ought to grow

right through the South, carrying
everything before them. Look to
your ports of entry, for they will
try to open them, against your
wish, to England and France
The North are putting forth extra
exertions. They will have some
800 guns, 100000 men, large bod

They also expect to perform great
things on the Mississippi river
They will resort to all kinds of
tricks in the next battle. Nc
