Waiting.

More than a month has elapsed since the last
gun of the battles before Richmond was fred.
What are we waiting for7 Arewe about, after
all, to repeat the folly of Manassas Then, as
now, we were led from week to week to believe
that something was about to be done. The
public impstence was slsyed by false promises
and the public expectation ted by delusive
hopes. Are the new promises of an advance
"beyond the frontier false tOO-and are the
fresh hopes of the people destined to another and
a ssdder disappointment Why do we delay
Every day is precious to the enemy, enabling
him to renew the broken spirit Of the people, to
recruit his shattered forces, and rally for
struggle more desperate than any we have yet
encountered What prevents an advance into
the enemy's country The comparatively in
significant force OF the upstaTt, Pope Ii would
be an insult to our victorious army to suppose
So Do we wait for arms Forty thousand
were taken from the enemy in the late battles,
and caTgoes of arms and ammunition have
reached us from abroad. Do we expect Euro
pean Intervention, and are we waiting for 'the
steamer of the 9th of August" IS has been
limited We leaned on that reed after Mansas-
sas, and it broke and pierced our side. is the
season unsuitable for an advance, or are the
roads unfit for transportation Summer is the
choice season of the Southern man the wealth
er was never better, the roads never tirmer.
Above all other boons the enemy most Graves
time. Shall he have it, more of it, and how
much By common consent, dispatch, celebrity,
energy, daring, are the policy for US. Why do
ace ,caa Is it for the new conscripts, or return
ing convalescents, or stTaggler All the
strength we may gain in this way will be more
than quadrupled by sccessions to the enemy
During the month that has been lost, we have
been, and are yet, relatively stronger than We
have ever been before, or will, in all probability
ever be again. If we cannot advance against
the enemy now will the time ever come when,
in the opinion of the authorities, we may do sol
Richmond is abundanty safe for the present;
The most certain way of relieving it OF all
menace even, would be to give jackson the
force and the word that would send him crash
ing through Pope's army and caTeering over
the border. Mcclellan would be instantly
called from James river, Lee would meet him
beyond the Potomac, and then the war would
be where it should have been twelve months
ago. This is too plain to be denied-too certain
to be doubted. Again, we ask, why 90 we

a PhenomenOu---svyord in lhe IEearer


From the Monticello CFla) Family Frisndl
We are informed by gentlemen whose veracity
cannot be questioned, that on the 23d instant,
near GrOOvsrsville, Georgia, q phenomenon OF
remarkable significance was witnessed in the
heavens at about four o'clock in the evening.
1t was perfect representation Of q SIo0rd-han-
die, blade and point all visible. The blade was
red and the handle silver color. The blade
pointed to the Northeast and the handle to the
Southwest. Il was high up in the heavens, sp-
pearing to the eye about twenty feet long and
two feet broad. Soon after it was witnessed, a
wind springing up, heavy clouds appeared and
screened it from view.
We are not one of those who attach peculiar
significance to remarkable dreams, believe in
witchcraft, or view every celestial phenomenon
as an omen Cf good or evil. But no similar
phenomenon to the one in question has been
witnessed for many generations, and we are,
therefore, owing to the peculiar circumstances
surrounding US, inclined to regard it as signih-
cant.
Flavius Josephus, in his history of the Jews,
refers to 8 similar appearance in the heavens
lust previous to the destruction of Jerusalem.
He says that a star, resembling a Sl0Ord, stood
over the city, and a comet that continued a
whole year. Another writer we are informed,
describes the sword as hanging over the city,
with the point down.
After the destruction of Jerusalem the star
disappeared. This phenomenon has always by
learned divines, been described as the Sword
Of the Lord" From the destruction of Jerusa-
lem to the present period no such representation
has been beheld in the heavens.
The mysterious workings Of the God of
hosts and of battles " are as difficult to eOmpre-
hend in our day and generation as they were in
the days when Jerusalem was destroyed by fire
and sword. And it may be possible that this
second appearance of the Sword of the Lord
as the reverend gentleman who had the pleas
ure of seeing it, styled it, was an omen to the
people of the South that they should speedily
carry the sword of justice and Of liberty beyond
the bounds Of the Coufederaey, and dye its
blade crimson in the blood Of our enemies, who
have not only disregarded the principles Of civil
and religious liberty, but have mOcked deity
by the practice of their irreligious and degrading
isms The handle Of this sword being in the
South and its blood red blade in the North, may
/ be a token TO our hosts to commence the journey
of invasion, and this the assurance that the
/ " God of battles " will uphold and sustain the
/ arms Of the Southrons.

We have news from Hudson to the 9th. Por-
ter's guerrillas, it is said, had bursted INTO
pieces, and were roaming over the country north
and east of that place. We rather think, not
withstanding this information, that he can con
centrate his men wherever he may direct. Pom
dexter was about twenty miles west of Hudson
with pretty large force, set down at twelve
hundred men, moving and armed, seemingly
watching the Hannibal and st. Joseph road.
Another band of guerillas is said to be on Mud
Creek, south of Hudson, on the Charlton, and
band are said to be drilling near Allen, and
serving as guard to POindexter AN opinion
prevails that it was the intention to attack HQd-
son, but this is not ceTtain.-St. Louis RePa6t'-
