Signs Of Gazing In.

takes the castigation of our Worthy
leaders, JEFF Davis and others, the
strenuous effort,-a very feint one
made by this already disreputable
journal, is so insignificant in its
every character, that it really de-
serves no notice from ourselves, or
any other journal; but the simple
fact of its audacity compels us to pass
a few remarks. Not a little aston
ished were we when reading the ar
ticle, we could not for a moment
think their was in our Southern coun-
try, to be found, one would presume
to attack men beyond reproach, men,
whose sole study is the success of our
Confederacy men who are endeav-
oring by every honorable means to
have the rights ofthe South acknowl-
edged. Beyond this. our cotemporary
informs us that our volunteers are
starving; yes.-that they are COM
PEELED to put up with victuals and
treatment of the worst kind.
This will be news to many of its
readers. Our gallant leader is blam-
ed for not having arms, etc. Read
this clause:
with one hundred and fifty thou
sand men in arms and in the field,
the depots Of arms, clothing and pro-
visions, upon which they are to rely,
are nowhere to be seen and no one
need be disappointed if our heroic
youth, who have with chivalrous alac-
rity rushed to the defence Of their
country, and are imperilling health,
life and everything for its honor and
independence, are without the COM
monest necessaries and most indls-
pensable implements, while our pro-
visional masters are clothed in Off
cial purple and fine linen, and fare
sumptuously every day 1t is against
this we protest; it was TO provide
against contrasts SO huniliating and
poinful we lave SO persistently and
indulgently refrained from censure
of those having authority, and took
such pains to inculcate for their in
struction and improvement these
great political principles, deviation
from which cannot take place with
out the accompaniment Of the most
damaging consequences. It is not
yet too late for the provisional au-
thority to remedy the evil already
done.
Talk about dictators after reading
the extracts we publish. That journal,
is not satisfied with the selection
made, of Jeff Davis, President, and
A. II. Stephens, as Vice President,
and suggests the propriety of ma
king better selections provided the
avdice of that sheet is not needed.
But, we forget, kind reader the sub
jcct is discussed by the True Delta,
and we must make allowances. The
ending of that terrible onslaught is as
follows:
elf these things be done on the as
sembling of the provisional authori
ties on the goth inst, at Richmond,
all may yet be well but to make
the future certain the people had
better at once set about selecting
suitable persons for the presidency
and vice-presideney and the confede-
rate Congress, for their expectation
that in the future, any more than in
the past, they will prove themselves
capable of achieving more than mere
partisan success, and this only when
they have all the advantages in their
own hands,"

From the New Orleans Delta.

South Carolina, the first State to "rebe" and the first
IN which Lostes broke out, also the first from which
the enemy has conquered bale of cotton. But this
last event is unpleasant incident of the for which
South Carolina not, in political and moral sense,
be justly held accountable. We wish we could remark
the same thing Cf another incident OF the war on the
South Carolina coast reported from Shermans aboli-
tonizng and Misunderstanding expedition to the
Northern press If the report is true it attests NOR
tyng fact if false, it is of the blacklist ISLANDERS
which the malignant mendacy OF the Yankees has cast
upon the proud palmetto State.
According to the report in question, Gen. Sherman
sent flag of truce. with escort from his quarters at
Hilton Head to convey his insulting proclamation to
the people OF South Carolina. The Federal parry were
received by Confederate officers in liberal spirit, and
admitted to free and easy conversation by no means
required by rules of military etiquette usually observed
IN such This bad enough, when the purpose
OF the enemy was known and the character Of the
he came to wage was understood The message borne
under the fag of truce in the spirit OF conquer
or to the conquered. and the Athenaus of old would
have received the messengers bearing it differently
& But this not all, or the worst. Returning says
the Federal report the truce messengers met party Of
rebel cavalry who gave them fodder for their horses
The Athenians OF old, when the Persian despot sent
demand "earth and water"-the symbols of dominion
replied by throwing the messenger into well and heap
ing earth upon him. This the terrible hospitality
which the Greeks had for their deadly enemies. They
gave them earth and water n the fatal bottom of WE'LL
the gallant cavaliers of South Carolina it would seem
gave their deadly enemies plenly of fodder.
For the enemy to get some cotton from the South
Carolina coast, was thing that could not well be help
cd to receive his flag of cvilly was prima acle
due to the forms of military etiquette but the duty of
toe South Carolina cavalry to give him fodder when ac
cidentay meeting him the road is by means ap-
parent II it is from the scriptures they deduce this
charitable proceeding they should remember that though
we are there enjoned to love enemies, we are not
required to feed them.
We hope that the report will prove to be unfounded

Another Naval Engagement OH James River.
For some days past two or three OF the federal gun
boats have been in the habit of running up James River
five six miles above Newports' News each evening,
and remaining there all night. What the object OF this
was is unknown, unless it may have been to keep
watch on the movements of the Confederate steamer
Patrick Henry These gun boats On Sunday evening
repeated this same maneuvre and yesterday morning
the Patrick Henry got under way from her position fur
tber up James River and down. On seeing her the
gun boat left Immediately and put out down the river to-
wards the blockadng ships The Patrick Henry contnu
ed her chase after them, and they ran In under the
protection of the guns Of the gates Cumberland and
Congress, and the fort at Newports' News The P. H.
opened fire among them after getting desirable posi-
ton from her after gun, firing SHE'LL and our informant
tells us for as much as half hour she continued to drop
her shell and around the frgste Congress, many of
which, it is believed buTstcd on her decks, with what
effect we shall be unable to determine as the federals
keep all such matters too close The engagement COM
menced about quartz past six and lasted two hours
During the time, the gun boats would frequently
sally out from behind the frghtes to give the Patrick
Henry shot, and such occasion she would soon force
them back by well directed shot, several of which, it
is believed struck these gunboas Two OF them, (here
four altogether) after receiving a shot from the
Patrick Henry retired to the Immediate vicinity of the
wharf at Newport News while the other two kept their
position out of harms way in the rear of the frgates
They at time made attempt to pass up James
River so as to flank the Patrick Henry, and when get
batteries the ?. Ii. put chase after them, and they
scampered back After this they appeared to have be-
afraid to out again. and the Patrick Hen
ry had to then remain satisfied with pepperng the rg
ate, which she did, it is said in maserly and beautiful
manner.
1t is said by those who witnessed the entire engage
ment, that the Patrick Henry was handled in tho
roughly like manner, by those board and her
guns were worked 20 perfection She played upon the
enemy mostly with her after gun, while lying off New
ports News and would occasionally back up towards
the enemy when she would DRIFT out of range of her
mark 1t is supposed she used her after gun in order to
keep the best position to prevent being ouanked and
to keep tre enemy from having chance at her broad
side
We are unable TO say what damage was done to
either party in this engagement and far the feder
al vessels concerned shall not be able to ascer
tain but informant tells it is bis opinion that
the Patrick Henry is entirely unharmed notwithsand-
ing she the single object of attack from the four
gun boats the two rgates and four guns from the tort
at Newpors News. After the firing ceased, she pass
ed up James River to her position, apparently fresh
