ACTIVITY IN NAVAL CIRCLES
The indications are that the navy is
likely to havesa large amount of active
work on hand very speedily. Whether
Mobile, or Galveston, or Charleston be
the point aimed at, it is certain that our
iron-clads are not likely now to remain
idle long. Increased activity is ohserya-
BILE in naval circles. 70
There is reason to believe the origin of
the late troubles with the North western
Indians can be indisputably fixed upon
British emmissarics. Investigation will
soon be set afoot. and it is believed that
their assertion can be established beyond
u doubt It Is known that Enfield Rifles
in large numbers, have been shipped to
them up ST. Lawrence River
1t is believed, on excellent authority.
that the rebels, since their expulsion from
Maryland, are losing daily large numbers
by desertion. So great is their iisappoint-
ment in not being able to penetrate aud
occupy the rich State of the North, that
they are. becoming rapidly demuralised
and hopeless of success. "a
The news from the army is scarce and
embarrassing. The latest accounts repre-
sent that there have been no changes of
Importance in the position of either our
own or the rebel army. Our troops are
insplrited with their late success. and are
confident that if one more general engage
iment with the enemy can be brought on
the rebel rule in Virginia can be ended
forever.

when the ex:ermipators do not outpumber,

to let the enemy establish themselves in

the FIRST Regiment Of Virginia Volunteer
Infantry, now encamped on these Heights,
believing il IL was truly represented to you,
your feelings would be enlisted in doing

much in and for the great cause. We beg
leave to remind you that We cameiout with
ranks not full, t9OTl and many we're enlisted
10 the hurry attending the Organization Of
the Regiment who were unfit TO perform a
soldiers duty. We were hastened off into
. Winter campaign, to undergo all Its rigors
under the leadership of Generals Kelley
aud Lander, how arduous no one knows
but those who have experienced it. Im-
mediately following It WAS the Spring cam
paign, most rigorous under Gen Shields,
aud lastly the Summer campaign under
Gen. Pope. In all these the Regiment has
borne an active part-has marched many
hundred miles, over mountains in mid.
winter, through valleys aud rivers 10 the
spring, aud over the hot plains under the
burning suns of a Virginia summer. Du-
ring this time the Regiment, or parts of it,
has been engaged In twelve actions, Eve
of them Important battles besides many
days Diminishing along the lines of The
Raptdau. Shenandoah and RappAhanuock
rivers. AT present the Regiment numbers

DRUSKEEEEss-THE Present ASPECT OF
OUR CITY-Huw LONG SHALL THE EVIL Con-
TINUE.-The sudden rsopening Of the halls OF
King Bacchus in our peaceful and quiet city,
has had the unavoidable effect of immersing
one half of the citizens and of the soldiery in
the poisonous depths of inebriation, and lead
ing them into boisterous disputation and riot
The comparative stranger visiting Memphis,
is stricken with amazsment as he beholds the
drunken scenes and public exhibitions Of rev.
elr5 and debauchery making day uproarious
and night hideous, where, previously general
q-iet ruled the day, and sweet serenity presi-
ded over the night. The soldiers life is reck-
less oneand, aside from the enchanting tempter
which, when holding possession Of brain rem
dered frantic by excitement, drives its intoxi-
Gated victim to the commission of deeds from
which sobriety would shrink with horror and
time filed with soldiers, and the many grog-
shops which are now opened to their full and
unchecked entrance, present to the passer-by
daily and nightly scenes of noisy dissipation
and unlimited bacch analian caroussls. Sol
diers 60 in squads, drink together, and collect
in tipping houses where they hold forth for
hours in therevelry of the dram-drinking confu-
sion and disorder, and not unfrequeutly by the
forcessof numbers, compel the barkeepers to
keep open long after the legal hour to shut up
for the night. Would it not be better to abate
this evil now, than to wait for the realities of
bloody murders to invoke redress? Man,
whose mind is infamed with passion and his
passion poisoned with liquid curses, would fsin
leap to strike blow at which his stout heart
would quail and sicken when sober thought
holds IFS sway. Let US not wait for the per-
petration of crime to remove the evil which
now holds its orgies over the city.
Murder itself is past all expation--
The greatest crime that nature doth abhor."
