ESr A FALSE WITNESS AND A FALsr

that his wife and neighbor-a man nan,ed
BlOgg, had observed him at the table
and had hastily departed in consequence Z
like ."guilty things upon a fearful sum.
mons" He then made inquiries Of the
landlord and found that the couple had
been stopping at the house tor about a
week under the name of "George Peters
and lady" Barton, then, in company with
the landlord, went to "Mr.. Peters'sp room:
BlOgg had departed rather suddenly, and
Airs. Barton was putting on her things. =
Barton was about making some affection
ate demonstration, when Mrs. B. met him
half way and affected to be overjoyed at
seeing him. She said she was then on her
way to Camp Chase, and explained away
Blogg's presence by saying that she had
met him on the railroad train. This story
did not go down with Mr.. Barton He

Oukrages Or ths Enemy.

the Cloths and Vandals. The rules OF civil
ICED warfare have been shamefully Disregard
ed Lines of barning houses mark the career
Of the invader Property has been robbed,
and, when it could not be carried away, de-

no treatment has been ccnside red too bad and
brutal for the people OF the South, and ali
this has been done by q people who profess to
be highly civilized, refined, and Christian.
We do not invoke the South to retaliate in

on the battlefield. Let them bear in mind
that what has been exhibited ON small scale
will be the fate of the whole South if it ever

A Thrilling incidental fe " evenings ago,
at mass meeting in behalf of Army Col
portage, held at the Grace Street Baptist
Church, Hon. Thos. Fl. Watts, Attorney Gen
eral of the Southern Confederacy, related the
following beautiful incident:
A short tina since the regiment then under
his command was on its way from Mobile to
Corinth. AL along the route the women
cheered them on. As the train passed through
village in Alabama, there appeared in the
porch Of a house, very near the railroad. Il
young and beautiful mother, who held out TO,
wards the soldiers her tender infant and at the
same time raised her eyes, swimming in tears,
to heaven, as though in silent prayer to God.
The effect was thrilling, and many brave men
on that train were affected to tears. That
mother seemed to say II am weak-yOu are
strong Save me and my little babe from the
fierce cruelty of our enemies" She seemed
also to cay "And yet, unaided by Divine
power, you canuot succeed and, therefore,
will call upon the God Of Battles to 90 with
you, I'd give you success ''That picture
said the speaker II shall never forget. II
was photographed in the hearts of those SOL
diers, and loomed up before them as they
shared the parils and 6 lories OF the memorable
struggle at Shiloh" Fe
No pen can tell the effect produced by the
above on the hearers The falling tear told
that the hearts of not few were stirred to
their profoundest depths.

Long b OF the War.

4, The war has dragged its slow length along
through whole year, and how many years
longer it may bs protracted, no human vision
can foresse. Much depends upon the result of
battles, now imminent IT defeated in great
engagements, which we do not anticipate, we
shall fall back slowly, disputing every inch OF
ground from Virginia to the Gulf Then will
commence guerilla warfare which will last
30 long as there il a Southern arm to bear a
musket live are successful, and decisively go,
as we earnestly hope and believe, the financial
burthens of the North may hasten the war to
speedy conclusion. A debt already amount
ing to nearly fifteen hundred millions cannot
be shouldsrsd aud increased very long after
one or two moro Manassas and Coiinths.
Let us strike tremendous blow now at the
enemy, and the day of deliveranoe will lie
