The End Not Ye:.

An intelligent writer in the Mobile ssEvening
News who scans the horizon in search of some
sign Of peace, gives the following reasons for
concluding that we have nothing TO expect but
war; and that unrelenting and more gigantic than
we have yet had to confront
l. The call by the abolitionists for second
army Of GOO, 900 men.
g. Their building of larger Navy and a
larger number OF iron-c ad boats, for operation
against forts in harbors and upon rivers, and
for ths general purpose of destroying our coast
and river banks.
8. Their systematic fertilization of all prom-
nent cities and stragetic points now occupied on
our soil, for permanent possession.
4. Their massing of troops at different points
to be permanently held as bases of operations a.
gainst the Confederate States.
5. Their avowed intention of conquering ev-
cry seaboard city and blockading up all access
to the sea, and fitting out expeditions for the
same.
6. The inhuman and ubiquitous proclamation
of President Lincoln, looking towards tho utter
destruction Of our country.
Z. The support rendered him by the Govern
ors of the thirteen States in this proclamation,
and in the prosecution of the war
8. The unity of the people of the North on the
war. The Democratic party is coming into pow
again, but that party declares it will prosecute
the war to our certain and entire subjugation and
the restoration of the Union. rs

Tribute to the Ladies.

In speech delivered at Charlottesville, Geor-
gia, on the 10th of November, Vice President
Alex. 81. Stephens, paid the following just trib-
ute to the noble ladies Of our country:
The ladies would cheerfully make UP the
clothing, if the cloth were furnished. Nobly
had they done their part in this war. The battle
field was not their place, but in their sphere they
had done that which was just as essential to this
success of our cause, as the men who had won
honor and glory on the field. With the spindle,
tie loom, the needle, and in the hospital, will
ngy, literally, generously. periodically, had
they done their duty, The men of our country
had done well-most gailantly-but let it never
be forgotten, that we'll as the mon have done
in the cause of our Independence, the women
have done better. To them the country is MAIN
ly indebted for the clothing of the army when it
first went into the field. Their voluntary contri.
buttons of labor amounted to many millions of
dollars, worth infinitely more than the money In
dollars and cents, if the Government had had
it for the money could no. have commanded the
labor. An army of hundreds of thousands was
improvised, springing into existence fully armed
and equipped. as Minerva from the head of owe.
Such spectacle the world never saw before. -
This was done solely by the aid of the women of
the land. 1t could not have been done without
their aid. They did well to be at the meeting !:
for they are as willing to do their part now, and
in the future, as they were IN the beginning.

Skirmishes.

On Wednesday, General Hampton's
Cavalry captured a Yankee picket, con-
sisting of a Lieutenant and five men, at
Stafford Store, north of Fredericksburg.
Appearances indicate that there Will
be fighting in Tennessee In short
time. Onthe 28th of November, the
enemy attacked our forces at Lavergne,
fifteen miles beyond Murfreesboro,)
with superior force of cavalry and ar
tillery. before which Gen. Wheeler re-
tired slowly four miles. He then, be-
ing reinforced, rallied his command and
drove the enemy back, regainingg all the
ground he had. lost Greater success
would probably have attended our arms
but for the lateness of the hour and the
unfortunate wound received by the
General. The fight closed without ma
terial advantage on either side. Dur
ing the latter part OF the engagement a
shell exploded under General Wheelers
horse, killing the animal and injuring
one of the Generals legs, but not dan
gerously. The enemy's loss may be es.
timated with certainty at $50 killed and
wounded, While ours will fall below
half that number.
On Tuesday last, at Carrsyille, in Isle
of Wight county, Dodge's New York
Mounted Rifemen encountered some
of our cavalry and portion of Captain
Wright's Rocket Battery, and after {
brisk engagement. which lasted for al
hour or more, our men retired, losing
one section OF Wright's Battery, and Il
men killed and wounded. The Yankee

Views Of British Statesman.

Mr.. G. w. Bentinck, prominent
member of the British Parliament, re-
Gently delivered speech at Kings
Lynn in England, which shows that he
has proper appreciation of the condi-
ton Of things in this country He says
the men of the South, are fighting for
independence-:sfor their homes, their
wives and their children" and for these
they fight with ga d'gree of gallantry
almost unexampled." While their en-
emies are attempting to fix upon them
'sthe most CALLING, the most tyrannical
government that ever disgraced the
history Of the world" they are strug-
CLING like "heroes" for what is sdearer
than lite-liberty." For these reasons,
Mr.. B. assures that the people of the
Confederate States have the universal
sympathy of the British race. The war
has been waged onthe part of the North,
he says, in a spirit of downright bar
barism and brutality" 1t cannot pos
sibly end in the subjugation Of the
South. He, therefore, holds that it is
the duty of Great Britain and France
at once to acknowledge the indepen
dence of the Confederate States.
He denounces Lincoln and Butler as
disgrace to civilization.
