Now is the Hour.

The evident intention of the enemy is
to advance, and lay waste to our land. the
success at Roanoke, though dearly bought,
will enliven the vaudals and urge them on.
The bold and daring act of sending two
gun-boats upwards of two hundred miles
up the Tennessee river to steal our stores,
destroy our property, and reconnoitre for
ulterior objects, has been crowned with sue.
cess, and will inspirit the Yankee Generals
to other expeditions. Already We hear Of
reported gun-boats entering Winyaw Bay
the next we hear they may be at George.
towu-at the mouth of the Santee one is
reported, and possibly the Cougaree bridge
may be reached; and when that is destroy
ed, Columbia may be shelled from CRANKY.
Is this not possible after the surprise at
Florence, Alabama? The crisis Of our
fate will be within sixty days, if bold hearts
and brave arms are nerved for the contest.
There should be no more defeats We can
achieve success if we are united and do not
hold back. Let every one in service re en-
list for the war, and we are safe-let every
woman at home urge upon her son and
brother to re-enlist-they will do it. The
women have done 50 nobly in the war that
their influence can do anything for good.
Let them urge all to re-eulist, and the ranks
will be Immediately filled We trust the
veterans who are now in the service will,
with one impulse and one heart, remain
where they are, and disappoiut the misera'
Bile Yankee calculations of having new re-
cruits to fight Our gallant men must stay
where they are, and let there be a short,
though desperate war. If they remain in
service, the war will be shortened and we
know South Carolinians will never hold
back when the country needs them. Their
pride is involved and the taunt from GER
tain quarters that South Carolina has caused
the war, should have strong influence to
make them advance in the new impulse Of
re.enlistment, to end it, Surely, our South
Carolina regiments will all respond to the
call of the Government.
South Carolina expects every man to do
his duty, and we expect to hear that her
opinion will be paramount with her sons.

To our Planters.

The following good advice we find in
several of our exchanges
HINTS FOB THE MoNTH.-The war in
which we are still engaged-the scarcity
and high price not only of corn and bacon,
but every description of food for man and
beast-the uncertain prospects OF peace
and cotton-the absolute necessity of feed
ing those who are fighting our battles, their
families who may be dependent on US, and
ourselves--all these considerations should
impel the planters of the South this year
to try the full capacity of their lands in the
way of provision crops, especially corn.--:
Let "King Cotton" stand aside for awhile,
until his worthier brother, corn, receives
our attention. With the crop of cotton al
ready on hand, and the prospects before u.s.,
We think our readers would do wisely to
plant double crop Of corn and half crop
of cotton-putting the latter only on their
most suitable cotton lands. Prepare for
the corn crop now-leave no waste spot
that will produce a single stalk-put in ev-
cry hill possible. Plow deep-manure
heavily, and plant as early as you safely
can. Plant more than you ever did before
If you have plenty of corn you need want
for nothing-it will make you meat as we'll
as bread, and it will bring you money also.
The South is now at critical period of
her history-at point upon the turn OF
which depends her future success, and if
we are ever to be the great and independent
people we ought to be, we must reform and
improve our agriculture Strong in this

A Virginia Mothers Appeal to the
Soldiers.

SOlQl6rS.
The following stirring address from the
Richmond Eraminer will do for every
State. The women are doing their duty
to their country, and we have no doubt the
men will promptly respond and do theirs.
Now is the crisis of the Confederacy's trial :
NORTHERN NECK OF VIRGINIA,
January rs, 1862.
Soldiers Of Virginia. a
You will soon be called on to decide
whether you will re.enlist for the war
Your decision will be momentous. The
responsibility Of preserving or destroying
the great army of the Potomac devolves
upon you, and every freside in Virginia
awaits with breathless anxiety your action.
Should you not promptly re-enlist, you will
imperil all for which you have 80 nobly
striven. Your departure from our ranks
will sound the advance of the Northern
army-the shrewd soldier of fortune at its
head knows woll the value Of your discip-
line, confidently calculates the chances
which will be in his favor when the spring
arrives and be can hurl his veterans against
our raw levies. Can you not disappoint
him? Can you disappoiut US Can you,
in the very face Of the enemy, resign your
arms to raw recruits and retire from the
field The conquest for liberty and peace
for our country depends upon you, and we,
the women of Virginia, believe that you
and you only can defend us. We appeal
to you not to abandon your columns now.
While we remember Manassas, Leesburg
and Allegheny, we can never consent that
your arms shall be welded by other hands
We can never forget that you sprung, un-
mindful of all but honor, to seize those
arms when first our cruel, remorseless foe
brought murder and rapiue upon our homes;
that devotedly you have hurled him back
and stood as wall of adamaut around US !;
that you have given up all for US and our
cause. By these recollections we implore
you to stand by US little longer-our
cause is not yet won, and if you leave your
ranks now, you will forever surrender it
We have husbands, fathers, brothers,
sons and lovers among you, for whom we
yearn with woman's tenderness, and pray
with woman's devotion but we cannot see
you leave your posts, we cannot welcome
you to your homes, while an insulting ene-
nv haunts his standards over Virginia soil.

LATE FROM WAsHINGToN.-Capt w.
D. Farley, formerly attached to Gen. Bon
hams staff, and who had the i'll fortune
some time ago to be captured by the Yam
KEGS, arrived iu this city on Sunday last,
after having had an unpleasant experience
of the Yankee military prison in Washing
ton.
Our prisoners in the old capitol build
ing, in Washington, had lately been treat
ed with great severity, and with the most
outrageous insults. They have been placed
under the charge of three Federal officers,
Captain Turner, Lieut.. Kane and Lieut..
Benedict, whose management of the prison
had been most rigorous and insulting. On
one occasion our prisoners were ordered to
stand up when their names we're called,
and one Of them remarking, "we thought
we were prisoners Of war;" was without a
word Of reply thrust into cell The prac.
tice had also been adopted Of insulting our
prisoners of war by con6ning in the same
room with them deserters from the Coufed
crate side. Mrs. Greenhow had been re-
moved from her former place Of imprisou'
meut, and put in solitary confinement in
one of the upper rooms of the military
prison.
The Northern army in Washington and
across the river is reported to be in excel
lent condition, and to surpass in all points
of equipment and the perfection of theil
drill 'ithe Grand Army" of last summer
The enemy, however, are very deficient in
cavalry, and what they have is contempti'

The Cook Who Doesn't Like Peas
The leader of the game puts the following
question to the assembled players 10 sue

"My cook doesn't like peas; what shall
we give her to eat ~
A player suggests "turnips," "potatoes,"
ga piece of Bread" "chops," ga penny
roll, "''pork," &c.
To all these, the questioner replies, "She
doesn't like them Cor it)-pay forfeit"
Another proposes "carrotts," "dry bread, !"
"beef," ''mutton," &c., the answer to any
of which is
"That will suit her," and the questioner
pays forfeit.
If only two or three are in the secret,
the game proceeds for some time to the in:
tense mysti6cation of the players, who
have no idea what they have said to incur
or escape the penalties. 1t depends upon
play of words The cook not liking

swer in which that letter occurs. AS the
same proposition must not be repeated twice,
those even who are in the plot are some
times entrapped; the answer they had re-
solved on being forestalled by another play

A Remarkable Incident.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press relates the following in
cident A similar one occurred in this
State some years since. George Duff was
sentenced to be shot at Fort Moultrie or
Fort johnson, in Charleston harbor, and
the same thing happened. We frequently
saw him in the Charleston Poor House,
where he was confned-a harmless maniac
and subsequently, at the Lunatic Asylum
here, where he died :-4South Caroinian.
Some time ago, private in the 10Th In
diana regiment was tried by court martial
for deserting his post, and found guilty,
the punishment of which was death. His
execution was deferred for some time, and
be was kept in painful state of suspense.
At last the time was fixed for his execution,
and FIVE regiments we're drawn up in line
to witness it, while file of twelve men
we're in advance to execute the sentence Of
death by shooting him.
The prisoner was led forward bliudfold-
ed, and the usual words of preparation and
command were given in low, measured
tone by the officer in command. During
the interval between the commands, "Take
aim" and "6re," and before the last was
given, horseman rode rapidly up the road,
waving in the air paper, which was un-
derstood by all present to be reprieve.-
Covered with dust and perspiration, the
officer rode hurridly up to the officer in
command and delivered to him what really
proved to be reprieve. The shout Gre
prieve" fell upon the poor soldiers ear,
which was already strained to the utmost in
anticipation of hearing the last and final
word that was to usher his soul into the
presence Of his Creator; it was too much
for him, and he fell back upon bis coffin
apparently dead. The baudage was removed
from his eyes, but reason had taken its
flight, and he became hopeless maniac.
He was discharged from the army and sent
to his friends. His death had really never
been intended, but it was necessary for the
good order and discipline of the army to
make an impression upon not only himself,
but the whole brigade; for that purpose the
forms of the execution were regularly gone
through with, in the presence of FIVE regi-
ments, and the reprieve arrived in good
time, as it was intended. 1t was sought by
this means to solemnly impress upon the
whole assemblage of soldiers the necessity
of strict observance Of duty and obedience,
under the penalty of an ignominous death
1t was fearful ordeal for the deserter, but
it was certainly better than to have COM

Is it for Fort sumterp

The Northern papers announce still an
other naval expedition against the South,
Now that we have met with such serious
reverses on the coast, this note of warning
should not be unheeded by our govern
ment. The New York World of q recent
date says: The last Of the naval expe.
ditions will soon have left New York. We
allude to Captain Porter's mortar feet,
comprising twenty six vessels, each carry
ing fifteen or thirteen inch mortars, aud

largest calibre of rife guns The fleet is
to be divided into three divisions, each it
is surmised, for different destination
Two of these vessels have 'already sailed,
and they will all have cleared this harbor
before the end of another week. They will
be heard from in due time. Erricson's 8
iron. clad battery will be in working srim by
the first Of February, and, in addition to
the one nearly completed at Philadelphia,
will test its capacities on one Of the most
formidable of the Southern forts.

ADVANTAGE OF A GooD NAME.-Wal-
ter was sick, and his mother was trying to
get him to take some oil, but every time he
looked at it, he got so sick he was obliged
to turn of and say-"Oh! mother, / car T
take it." He was good boy, SO his moth
er did not threaten to whip him, or pour it
down him, or even to tell him any stories
to take it, she only told him kindly that he
must drink it. While he was still shud-
dering and hesitatiug, she said toa lady
standing by-"The doctor says Walter is
the best child to take medicine that he ever
saw"
The words we're scarcely out, when the
little fellow seized the cup, with the reso.
luton of a man, and drank it.off. The
idea that he had a good name, gave him
nerve to overcome his loathiug. A good
name is great thing; strive to get it, my
little friends, and then you will naturally
want to keep it-7smperance Crusader.
