which is appropriate at this time. II. w. Halleck
Lieut. of Engineers T. s. Army (now Major General
in the Yankee arnyO in 1913 published work on
Military Art and Science in which he says:
"All modern ethical writers regard uniuSt as
not only immoral but of the greatest of crimes
murder II large scale. Such all wars Of mere
ambition engaged i'll for the purpose of extending regal
power National sovereignty; of piundcr carried
for mercenary motives; wars of prOpagdndSm, an
ADAPT certain religious oticat opinions, whether from
the alleged motives of = introducing Il orthodox
religion" of 'crfeadhg the Of fresdom." Such
held in just adherence by all moral and re-
gious people: and this is believed be the settled
vicion of the great mass of our citizens'
These truths, and Major General Halleck and the
people of the North who prosecuting this wicked
against the South will be 'hed in just adherence
ed in prosecuting kind Of war which he himself ar
gued to condemn.

BRAVE MAN FALLEH.-It is our painful duty to
announce the death of Col Chas c. Lee of the 37th
Reg n. C. troops. He fell the field OF battle on
Monday. June 30h, while gallantly leading his men
into the thickest of the fight. Col Lee was gallant
and superior officer, having had the advantages of a
thorough military education and he was much be-
loved by his command and highly esteemed by this
community. When the war broke OUT Col. Lee was a
Professor in the " c. Military Institute at this place
He was elected It. Col of the st n c. Regt., and
with that Regiment at the battle of Bethel where he
did good service After the promotion of Col. ID. Il:
Hill to Brigadier General Lee elected Colonel and
held the position until the term of the Regiment ex
PRED He was then elected Colonel of the 37th n C.
Regiment and was in the ard-fought battle of New
bern, where he displayed unsurpassed gallanry Gen
Branch's Brigade to which Col Lee attached, was
in the late hard fought battles Richmond and in
the engagement of Monday Col Lee was struck
by ball in the body and killed instantly. A
better man never fell.
His funeral took place in this town on Thursday last
and in respect to his memory the stores all closed
on that day.

The EFFECT.-EvcrybOdy is anxious to know what
will be the effect of late victories near Rich
noud. We do not think will have the eff
feet of ending the war Immediately. 1t will compel
the enemy to abandon the hope of Suhjugating the
South; but they will continue for a while to fight for
revenge for boundaries, for of settlement and
for tjc purpose of inctiug much Injury on us as
they possibly Therefore, the efforts of Southern
people not be rclaxcd--they &c preparing
for the contest strengthening and encouraging our
armies helping The soldiers, and cheering each other
ed CxcrtiOnS, the if the battles near
Richmond had never been fought We must compel
the enemy by hard fighting to make peace and acknow
ledge our Independence No need expect anything
spirits III that direction allow neither mercy, honor
nor justice to Influence their actiOnsthey prompt

I" resist them with determination and energy If

THE VICTORY.

The Richmond Enquirer states that troops captured
5000 YankerS Thursday In regard to the result of
the whole fighting the Enquirer of the SIN says
Suffice to say that enough is already known to show
that God has blessed the vaor of soldiers and the
from enemies. They discomftted, broken and
captured, routed destroyed. The full extent of
victory, by a weeks hard fighting, shall know
before long. Meanwhile, we have abundant reason for
rejoicing and deyOut gratitude.
The advance of our army the deserted ground of
the Yankee Vandals develop daily instances Of the most
horrible brutality. Inspired with bitterness intensely
brstal they have lost opportunity to visit their in
human wrath upon the bodies of the living and the dead
of the Confederate army that have fallen into their hands
On yesterday of forces in passing the de-
serted camp ground of the ugitivcs, discovered three
Louisiana soldiers hanging from tree, while the bodies
of several GeOrgans were lying around mutated with
bayonet wounds and begrimed with dirt We trust that
due vengeance will be visited upOn the vllanous
wretchs tor this glarng violation of all the rules of
spectacle warfare. The black flag, it is understood,
raised amid their ranks, in their last struggle but its
effect like all the they may attempt to get up, fell
dead
We hear that the destruction Of West Point
by the enemy SurpaSses in extent that of any other
locality OH the lines below Richmond They Were piled
up in layers, with pine timber between to the height
of some thirty feet and covering space quarter of a
mile in length The torch then applied, and every
thing completely destroyed. Wagons broken up
render them useless, and of this immense
of army supplies. nothing of value be saved From
other points, however between tho Pamunkey river and
Richmond, considerable amount has been received and
daily arriving Up TO yesterday morning twelve
thousand stand of and several fine red cannon bad
been brought to the Government Arsenal and long train
of wagons heavily loaded, arrived in the afternoon.

1t may be strange and suggestive com
ment, upon the sincerity of the Earl OF
SALISBURY, who has been attached to the anti
slavery cause in making Exeter Hall speech
es against American institutions and clam.
oriug for the abolition OF slavery, as well a-
upon the sincerity Of those he represents,
that now in the hour Of trial, he should be
the friend and ally Of the very people whom
Ae has denounced and disparaged all his
life
If the American abOlitUnists could EXPECT
to find friend in any Euglishman, 1t would
be in one who proiessedly has represented
their sentiments. Does not his declaration
prove clearly that there is nothing dearer to
English statesmen than the failure of
every other system of government, save that
OF their own, and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF Brit.
ish powers? Is it unjust to harbor the
thought, that the English aristocracy long for
the fall Of "Me great erperGment'- democracy
that commercial men wish the establish
ment of free trade, and that her manutac
turers desire the rum OF Americas industry,
whatever sentiment English public men may
profess?
Is it unjust to suggest that the disappoint-
meut Of American abolitonists will only be
more intensified when they see English
statesmen aud mobiles, specializing upon the
fiery temper Of the American nation, and
their pride and sensityeness strengthen the
menacing and iusolent tone OF the English
press IN humllatlng America, by a COM
mencement Of terrible preparations for war?
Great Britain, jealous Of the American
power-envious Of the American namc,--
hating the republic with all the hatred Of uu-
successful rivalry, knows that she now has
an opportunity which never came before, and
may never come again, and she will now, if
we are not mistaken, dispense with the ucu.
traIity, and instead Of helping American all.
olltionism, become actively hostile to it in or.
der to help the south break up the union.
