A Treacherous Foe

The Woodville (Miss.) Republican has cor
respondent with Gen. McCulloch's army, who
was in the battle of Oak Hills, and from whose
last letter we extract the following:
desire to mention in this postscript one fact
connected with the operations of the enemy that
ought to stamp them, not only with infamy, but
cowardice, and cover the names of Gen. Lyon,
Gen. Seigle, Col. Totten, and Capt. Sturges, of
the q. S. Dragons, with everlasting infamy.-
Throughout all the battle they displayed no col
ors over any position that they held; in no line
of battle formed, in no line of march, did the
perfdious wretches ever unturl their much be-
loved Stars and Stripes, while in every regiment
and on every part of the battlefield waved the
Confederate flag. Notonce did the towards fling
to the breeze banner that indicated their nation
allity, but, on the contrary, deceived US by hoist
ing, on one or two occasions, when we pressed
them close, Confederate flag they had found in
Churchill's deserted camp. They also, on eve
ry occasion as we approached them, cried, ssdon't
fire, We are friends!'' This they did as our reg
iment first advanced, and then, as soon our
men threw up their pieces, perfdiously fired into
US. They also had got hold of our badge-a red
one on the lett shoulder; they also passed our
men several times TO gain new position, crying
sshurrah for jeff. Davis" This was remarked al
over the field, and if they had not done it, but
few would have escaped being prisoners. This
is opposed to all rules of civilized warfare, and
worthy only of the blackness of Abolition hearts,
and Gen. Lyon richly deserved the death he met,
and his men the unburied fate that leaves them
rotting on many hills.

A False Charge.

A zoao flung article, under the signature of
"Junius," appeared in the last Rockingham Reg
ister, which concludes as follows:
II hone it is not trae, as reported, that the
Spectator refuses to publish any article except in
favor of Col. Baldwin, unless paid for"
The charge implied in this sentence, viz; that
we do Eot charge for communications In fa-
vor of Col Baldwin, whilst we do charge for
those in favor of other candidates, is false. In
this respect, We treat all alike. The rule of the
Press which charges for ali such communications
applies to all alike, when impartiaIly enforced,
as it is by the Spectator" If no restraint were
imposed-if all such communications were iD-
serted without charge-the papers would be
filed with long communications, probably as
fatuent as that of s'Junius," to the exclusion of
all news, and the papers would thus be rendered
worthless and void of interest to the subscribers
to them.

Peach Leaf Yeast.

~ Hops cost 50 90 per pound, leaves cost
nothing, and peach leaves make better yeast than
hops. Make it thus Take three large peach
leaves and three medium sized potatoes, boil them
in two quarts of water until the potatoes are
done; take out the leaves and throw them away,
peel the potatoes, and rub them up with pint
of -four, adding cold water sufficient to make a
paste, then pour on the hot peach leaf tea, and
scald for about five minutes. If you add to this
little old yeast it will be ready tor use in three
hours. If you add none, it will require to stand
day and night before use. Leaves dried in the
shade are as good as fresh ones. AS this is
stronger than hop yea-t, less should be used in

F0r the Specl
State Convention

State Convention
As it seems to be generally understood that
Col. Baldwin has resigned his seat in the Con
vention, we take the liberty of recommending to
the people of Augusta, John N. Hendren Esq,
as suitable person tC succeed him.
Mr.. Hendren is q gentleman of high moral
character, of SQUAD and vigorous intellect, and
of thorough education and training tor every
kind OF public business. He possesses, in all
eminent degree, the confidence and respect of all
who knew him personally, and probabl, no man
in the county, has been so often selected as arbi-
traitor, to settle controversies between our cti-
zrns. He is well read lawyer, and no one who
has had intercourse with him IL his cha racter OF
Master Commissioner in chancery, can have
tai.ed to perceive the quickness, clearness and
grasp of his masculine mind.
We now need the services of our best men,
The times demand men of talent, energy, indus
try and Integrity. Mr.. Hendren is man of this
stamp, and if elected, we feel satisfied he would
be found to be the right man in the right place.
We trust the days of demagogism and favor
itism have passed away. We hope that in future
public officers i'll be regarded as public trusts,
and be bestowed on those best fitted to dis
charge these duties. Tried by this standard, We
feel assured that no man can be found N this
county bstter qualified than Mr.. Hendren for a
seat in the Convention.
This call upon Mr.. HeEdren is made upon him
without his knowledge, and solely In view OF
the public interests and his qualification for pub
lie service. SEVERAL VOTERS.

From the Potomac.

On Saturday two ScLooners were bein towed
up the river by Steam Tug. When within
range of one OF our Batteries the "dogs OF war"
were loosed, and so warm was the greeting that
the Steam Tug quickly let go her hold on the
Schoocers, and ignobly deserted them to their
tare. The Tug retreaed down the liver, and
the Schooners were brought ashore under one of
our Batteries. One of the Schooners was load
ed with wo, d, and the other had on board 432
bales OF hay from Maine, $50 barrels of cement,
an elegant piano, or casks, supposed TO be
filled with bacon, and other small stores. One
of our shots had gone through and rough one
of the schoone1s, and most likely struck the Tug,
which was on the leeward, keeping out OF as
much danger as possible. 1t was probably this
shot that induced the Tug to cast loose and show
her heels at Bull RuE speed.
We have since ascertained that one of the
Schooners was struck no less than eight times,
and that three or four of the cannon tails Were
gotten out of the bales of the hay after she had
been brought ashore. The Tug is believed to
have been seriously injured, as she drew etf to
the Mary land shore, aud some are OF the opinion
that she has since sunk. k.-FTederac&sburg Herald

Patriots alias Candidates for Congress.

1t must be gratifying to the people to know
that there are so many patriots willing to render
service to their country in the Halls of Con-
gress. To be willicg to go TO Congress requires
great deal of self sacrificing patriotism, aud
yet this District is so very prolific of patriots
that four have already announced their willing
ness to be offered as sacrifice on the altar of
their country. If the election could be post
poned month, there would probably be bakers
dozen of them. Augusta has two-Ool. Jno.

of the different candidates should now be ex-

a close one. We always sympathize with the
fate of the slowest candidate, as the Devil takes

Clipping the Feathers Of Fremont
Great M0gul.

The New York Herald, of the 9th inst says
editorially:
The Secretary of War has found that his visit
to Missouri to Look into the affairs of that mill
tary department was good idea, if we may
judge from bis consequent instructions. 1t ap-
pears that he has ordered Gen. Fremont to s1s
pend his fortiication of St. Louis to suspend the
work on the barracks he was bu lding near his
residence for his body guard (the Great MoguD
Of three hundred cavalry and that his military
debts, accumulated to the extent of $4,5OOO0O
must remain unpaid till they can be investigated !;
and that some two hundred of his officers ap-
pointed without the Presidents authority need
not expect to be paid for thei services SIS Off
GERS; and that all said Fremont's contracts must
be made hereafter by the regular disbursng Off
Ger of the army, &C., &c.
The reader will agree with Us that. in these
instructions, Secretary Cameron has done good
service to the Treasury. We dare say. too, that
unless Fremont, with the abundant army and
facilities at his command shall soon clean the
rebels ont of Missouri, there will soon be an end
of the splendid and costly military arrangements
of Fremont, and very much to the satisfaction of
the country. As an emancipation phianthropist,
upon his own responsibility, Gen. Fremont went
pretty far; but hen he assumes the airs, graces
and grandeur of the Great Mogul, General Cam
eron serves him riget in clipping off his peacock
feathers. So fine bird, left to his own discre-
ton, would be too expensive for ary country to
sustain except the empire of the Indies. Nc
wonder Fremont has failed to become rich, with
all the gold mines of Mariposa in bis hands, when
his ambition is to eclipse the barbario spleLdors

Assaults Oh Col. Baldwin.

When man is so hard to assail that his ad-
! versaries have to trump up such objections as a
correspondent of the Rockingham Register, and
our neighbor of the Valley Star, do, it is pretty
good evidence that he is the right sort of man
for the times.
They say that Col. Baldwin is of the Hamilto-
mean school of politicians, we do not know how
far he endorsed the doctrines of Hamilton or
how far he endorsed those of Jefferson, but grant
that he was en- out and ont Hamltonean, and
what does it amount to2 1t is rot for seat 10
the Uuited States Congress, that Col Baldwin is
now candidate; but the Confederate Congress
and although he may have been Hamiltonean,
we cannot conceive what the doctrines of Ham
iton lave to do with Onr new government
The constitution is already established, and how
Col. Baldwin could infuse into it the doctrines
of Hamilton is more than we are able to see; or
how he could twist it into accordance with those
doctrines we are unable to see
Hamilton favored constellation Let us see
where Baldwin now stands. In the Convention
of Virginia, the following amendment was offer.
ed to the Ordinance of Ratification of the Con-
federate Constitution:
'But this Constitution is ratified and adopted
by Virginia, W tn the distinct understanding. on
er part, that she expressly reserves to herself
the right, through a Convention representing
ner people Ill IHelr loFelSn characters to repeal
and annul this ordinance, and to resume all the
powers hereby granted to the Confederate Gov
ernment, whenever they shall in her judgement,
have been perverted to her injury or oppression y
| Baldwin vote for this amendment. Thus
aiding the Convention to lay the foundation for
q States Rights party. If it was 10 the power of
the Convention to reserve the right of secession
at all, that amendment does it beyond all ques-
ton.
This it seems to us, was the great point of diff
ference between Hamilton and Jefferson, and
behold, Baldwin by bis vote on the amendment
mentioned above, put himself on the side of
Jefferson This inc eed, raises a doubt in our
mind, whether he ever was anything else than a
politician of the Jefferson school. We would
like at least to see the authority of the CORES
pondent of the Register, for ascribng to him the
doctrines held by Hamilton. Why, truly, we
cannot conceive how mans adherence to States
Rights doctrine, could be better tested, than by
casting vote as Col. Baldwin did in the Oon-
vention of Virginia, which lays the foundation
| for it.-Lerington Gazette.

Nothing should be allowed to prevent them from

and however inclement the weather. 1t is due
to the country hat@ all should vote who are in

The Richmond Examiner says:
The fighting on our side is described as terrific.
In the thckest of the fight, the Mississinp, troops
throwing aside their muskets, knapsacks and
even hats, c arged upon the Yankees with Bowie
knives, making the attack with yells OF rage and
excitement.
The enemy made three distinct attacks upon
our lines At one time 10 the action, tor the
space of about twenty minutes, the battle ragged,
with the two opposing forces within thirty feet
of each other. amid the stunning reports OF mus
kerry and occasional essays of the enemy to reach
US with the bayonet. The attempts to charge
bayonets on our lines was held in check each
time by the steady fire of our troops; aud, when
their turn came to charge, they rushed into the
enemy with fury that is said to have swept
:hem into the most indescribable disorder and
panic-stricken confusion.
Great credit in the action is awarded to the
Eighth Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col
Eppa Hunton. Tits regiment is said to have as
sailed the enemy en- the flank at critical pom
of the action. and to have completed his disor
der by the effect of their attack.
Gen. Baker is said to have behaved with tn
most extraordinary gallantry; and the generos
ity of even his enemy sccOrds the highest praise
to the courage and devotion displayed by him il
the thickest of the fight. His body was piercet
through by bullets. He fought on, without dra W
ig the least notice to his wounds, until, at last
| he fell dead by shot from Mississippi rtiemal
that pierced lis temple.
OF the large number of prisoners taken by us
The most considerable portion are said to be Iris
and Germans, but few of the ''irrepressible con

The Richmond Dispatch says:
The entire casualties upon our side may b

Gen. Beauregard, based on a report from Gen
