States, for they cannot separate one from the

OF the Wing an acknowledgement from the Mayor
and Commissioners of the town of Charlotte, of
sl5e received from the Jewish ladies" of Char

who have gone to the war. The Commissioners
passed resolutions of thanks for this donation and
also commendatory of the Jews of the town for
their general literally and patriotism manifested
in the cause Of the South All of which we cor
daily endorse, and will take the occasion to say
that the Jewish ladies" have shown their good
Judgment in appropriating their money to buy
substantials for the wives and children of volun-
teers Instead of spending it for ornaments for the
soldiers themselves. A soldier from home had
rather know that his family properly cared
for, than to fine and costly flag flying over
his head Let all who can, initiate the example
of the Jewish ladies'" and give something to

IAN WE RETALIATE Every paper from
Virginia announces some Of the outrages commit
ed by northern men upon southern property and
persons. Houses are robbed, crops destroyed, ne
groes and money stolen, and even females are in
suited. Now, it is evident, that something must
be done to learn our enemies better manners and
make them respect private property. Retaliation
must be resorted to-, and we know of no better way
than to seize the property in the South belonging
to Northern non-residents and appropriating it to
Lincolns hrengs. In this State there is great
deal of mining property owned by northern capt.
taists, besides other property, which could be
seized and confscaed, unless the loss OF our cti-
refunded by the Government at Wash
ngtoI. We learn that northern men are endeay-
oring to dispose of their property to southerners.
This should not be allowed. In fact, We think it
has already been decided that contracts between
citizens of governments at war with each other,
are illegal and void 1t would be we'll for south
ern people to be careful how they aid enemies by
purchasing property owned by them in the South
If Lincoln and his people are not disposed to act
as becomes a civilized nation, we must retaliate in
some efectua way; and nothing will bring them to
their senses sooner than making their own proper
ty pay for the depredations committed. At the
end of the war; if the North is disposed to fair
ly, there might be a general settlement Of ac-
counts.

y NOVEL PRoposITION--The Fayetteville
Observer says
among the communications now on hand, which
We are hopeless Of finding room for, is one from
Harris Tysor, local preacher, aged 80 years and
months" Mr. Tysor, who is known to many of
our readers as an enterprising citizen of Moore
county, writes to President Davis, proposing that
all the Ministers of the Gospel in the Confederate
States shall band themselves together under such
officers as the President shall select and with their
Bibles in one hand or breastplates, and the
best arms they get, march upon Washington
city, ready for peace war, iii the name and in
the strength of Israels God" He thinks that
this would be 1.-THE Lords host" and has no doubt
that it would he victorious lie asks the President
to fix place Of meeting and to enter his name as
a private"
We are disposed to think that the only reception
MrTysor would meet in Washington would be a
volley from masked battery, so he had better
shoot first and then present the Gospel army. Lin
coin and his understrappers neither regard God
nor the laws Of the land aud it is not to be ex-
pcctcd that people whose teachers are fanatics
aud Sabbath breakers would have much respect for
the Bible AID Mr. TysorS army Of Ministers.
