u.s. and we hasten to make amend. The hospital
on Common street, for the care of our sick and
wounded marines, who OF late so gallantly strug-

need of many articles, as we stated a few days
since, absolutely necessary to the restoration of
the brave men now suffering therein. Mr.. Nimmo
informs US that great many things have been
freely given by our generous citizens, but the ar
tcles most nceded-such as -four, beef, corn meal,
eggs and chickens not there and can scarcely
be bought. Such of our, citizens as can find it in
their power to give these articles, under the dis

tution will find in their hearts that glorious recon-

The Old Revolution.

According to the books, the aggregate
number of American troops in the first
war of Independence, amounted to two
hundred and thirty-one thousand seven
hundred and one. Duration of the war,
seven years. From the best information
we can obtain, the South has in the field
at this time about five hundred thousand
men, or more than double the amount
employed throughout the entire first
revolution. The first year of the second
war Of Independence has closed, and al
though the prospect at present may be
less bright and encouraging than some
expected, when we grow responding let
us revert to the pages where are recorded
the dark and gloomy periods through
which our fathers passed, and the glori-
Gus result that crowned their intense and
protracted struggles. A people resolved to
be free can never be enslaved. If true to
ourselves, to the golden memories of
the past and the hope we should cherish
for our posterity, we cannot but succeed
though the enemy should auadruple his
present numbers and fight with ten times
the courage he has yet displayed.

Late from New Orleans.

We make our thanks, says the Mobile
Advertiser, to Capt. James L. White, COM
handing company at Bayou la Batre,
for a copy OF the New Orleans True Delta,
of Friday morning last. 1t was taken
from party Of men in q sail boat, arres.
ted at Bayou on Sunday.
The Delta has learned from copy of
the Jackson MissisSippian OF, the battle Of
Elk river and the evacuation of Norfolk.
We clip the following local items:
Tarnal Hot.-This forenoon the Thir.
teenth Connecticut Regiment was march
ed from the levee out Poydras street to-
st. Charles, down St. Charles to Canal.
and thence 20 the Custom House. AS
they marched along under their heavy
knapsacls, sweltering in their heavy
wollen clothing, the very looks of the
men said as plain as language could have
done, "It's 'tarnal hot" The sun did
come down pretty warm, but it was moth
ing to what it will be in the course of Q.
month or two.
ProriSions.-Two steamboats, came into
port yesterday, with provisions from Red
River, and others are expected soon to
follow. These arrivals. with the beeves
which are arriving from Texas, must
bring speedy change in the condition
of our domestic market places,

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.

The Richmond Dispatch speaking of
Ger. Johnston, says there is every reason
for confidence in this great General, who
as strategist has successfully baffled the
plans of Scott and Mcclellan, and as a
soldier is one of the best and bravest of
modern times. We know that he cares as
little for popular applause as for popular
oensure, and is one of those rare men who
perform their duty with all the powers
God has given them, and are supremely
indifferent to the Doc popui, whether it
chant hallelujahs or deal in curses. For
this we honor and confide in him all the
more. He has given repeated proof since
the war commenced of signal military
abilities, and he has never said nor done
one foolish thing to mar his great reputa-
tim

The News.

We have intelligence of another great
victory achieved by the Confederate forces
under Stonewall Jackson. The particu-
lars, that have come to hand, will be
found under the proper head. Banks,
the great Nathaniel P, whom our read
ers will recollect as the first Black Repub
lican Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatives, has been put through in proper
style, and, in accordance with the prac-
tice of the Lincoln Court, will soon be
banished from public view. If the OBJ.
structions in the James river are worth
anything, McClellsn's turn will como in 9
few days.
From the West there is but little of in
terest. Gen. Beauregard's army is il
good condition, and confident of whip
ping the enemy whenever he dares ad
vance.

South, in which the persons heretofore
held as slaves in the States of Florida

believe. or pretend to believe, that when
the South shall he conquered and laid at
the feet of the conqueror, the "Union

the institution of slavery placed on a
hrmer foundation than ever. We should
like to have the opinion of such men in

endorse and justify it?

A Citizen Murdered for Protecting
His Wife.

It has remained for Mcclellan to in
troduce practically the battle-cry Of But
Ter into the South, and to enact the first
tragedy emanating from the attempt to
carry into effect the odious threat which
the unprincipled Butler uttered twelve
months ago and echoed again week
since, in the Queen City Of the South
Almost within gud shot of our lowest BAN
teries on the. river, portion of the Fed
ernl soldiers have been encamped for q
short time, devastating the country, and
ravaging the barns and granaries of the
citizens. Not far from the Chickahomi-
ny river is the residence of Mr.. Cross q
gentleman doubtless well known in this
community. A party Of the uniformed
Williams paid him visit few DAYS ago,
and while TIE rest Of them helped them
selves unfortunately to what came in
their way, one went into the house, and
assuming free and easy politeness, en-
tere1 into conversation with Mrs, Cross.
Knowing how helpless she was, she re-
piled to his speeches without hesitation,
but ut the same time with reserve ana
more than once was spirited, but impru-
dent enough TO speak out her opinion OF

ding friendly design in visiting her, sud.
denly threw his arms around her neck
and made an effort to throw her upon
the floor, attempting to caiole her into
submission by forcing kisses upon he,
checks and uttering endearng whispers
in her ears. Mrs. Cross struggled DIES
perately and successfully until her hus
band came in, upon which the scoundre
released the lady and attempted to leave
the premises. Mr. Cross hastily seizet
his gun, and before the soldier could es
cape, shot him through the heart H.
dropped lifeless, and in few moment
his comrades were around him. The.

"Foreign Intervention"

We are SICK and tired of the cry OF
'foreign intervention" But the papers
continue to be filled with it. The follow
ing is the last we have seen on the sub
ject. The reader can take it at just what
it is worth. 1t comes from Richmond
"a distinguished gentleman of this ci-
ty, who had long conversation with
Count MERCER, confirms the revelation
made in the Mercury week or two ago.
He says that MERCER went away fully sat
isfied of the falsity of the promise of spec
dy sublugation held out by Lincoln and

Detection in the Yankee Army.

Ever since the inception of this war
the North has endeavored to disguise its
real intentions in waging this crusade
against the South. Time will tell -
Within the past few weeks, flushed with
series of successes, the Federal Con-
gress has leaped ahead and let the cat
out Of the bag by standing up boldly and
declaring that the emancipation of the
slaves in the District of Columbia was
but the commencement of series of
legislation upon the negro question:
This has caused detection in their own
ranks where many men had been allur-
ed by the cry of the Onion" The
Memphis argus says:
In the Federal army now, within the
borders of Ten hessee, are hundreds of
men who regret they ever enlisted to
fight under the banner of abolitionsm.
| The accounts which reach us almost dali
| ly of assertions in the enemy's ranks are
cheering indeed to us. These. stalwart
men, the tlllers Of the soil of Indiana,
illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri are just
getting their eyes open to see the situa.
ton they are placed in by the white
coated abolitionists of New England
Are there any ties socially, politically, or
commercially, between the great West and
Massachusetts,, Connecticut and Rhode
Island? None.
The result Of legislation upon the
''nigger question" will cause great re-
public to be formed out of the Western
States a. an early day. Llncoln's best
soldiers are from-the West. They were
inveigled into the present war by those
New Englanders who make their living
by denouncing the South and her "pecu-
liar institution" Western men will con
tinue to desert so long as Sumner, Seward
and Chase insist upon the emancipation
doctrine" Their recent legislation up
on slavery in the District Of Columbia
has accomplished much for the South in
this way.

The Federals at Sparta.

We have it from unquestonable autho-
rity that Wynkoop's detachment of Penn
sylvania Cavalry which recently visited
Sparta, had with them several buck mig.
gers in full uniform, and armed and equip
ped according to law" The officer in
command, Col. Duffy, notified the wo-
men folks that supper must be provided
for his detachment in one hour, 9th.
erwise he would turn his men loose upon
them. And the niggers were actually
taken into the houses with their white
comrades to partake of the entertain.
ment thus enforced. The Union men of
East Tennessee ought to feel mighty
proud of the manner in which their Fed
eral brethren are crushing out the rebel
lion and restoring the bonds of love and
amity between the divided sections.

Confederate Money.

We do not hesitate to say that Confed-
crate money is as valuable, and will con-
tinue to be, as any other money or prop
erty. even if the Southern army is defeat
ed and the South subjugated-an impos-
sibility. Because, then, no mans prop
erty will stand otherwise than mort gagged
for the Lincoln debt and, by the time it
is collected at the point of the bayonet,
it will take it all to extlnguish the mort
gage. And as to the banks, they, it is
well known. are so identified with this
currency that they must stand or fall
with it. What, then, is the proper con-
clusion of the whole matter? 1t seems
to us it is this the success of our army
depends upon upholding this money. II
our arms triumph the money is good
Each is dependent upon the other. The
failure of the one is the destruction OF
the other, and everything else in the
Confederacy
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-05-30
Who Are our EnemiesP

The men who are specializing in food
grinding the poor from mercenary mo-
tives.
The men who, directly or indirectly,
shake public confidence in the value Of
Confederate money.
The croakers who are filing the peo-
pie with doubts of the final accomplish
ment of our purpose.
The men who express the opinion that
it is better to be subject of Lincoln
than of any other country. There are
some persons so speaking. Of course,
we will never be put to the necessity Of
making the selection; but the man who
entertains Abraham Lincoln as second
choice is not in heart with the cause.

The DISTRACTIONS on the James.


The Northern accounts OF the affair at
Drury's Bluff more than justify the opin-
ion expressed at the time, in this journal,
Of the decisive character Of the repulse,
the powerful nature Of the position, and
the consequent safety of Richmond from
any attempt of the enemy to reach IT IN
gunboats, iron-clad or otherwise, by the
river James.
These accounts prove that the plnging
fire Of the batteries pierced the Galenai in
every direction, that the loss Of life on
the vessels was greater than any one on
our side had hoped, that the distractions
are insurmountable, and that the hill is
beyond the power Of cannon from the
river to do any real damage to our men.
Richmond was in danger from that
source only when nothing had been done
to close the channel. The works need
ed to stop it were the most simple; the
Notifications necessary TO punish with Sc.
verify an attempt on them the easiest
and cheapest Of all. If the river was
thus effectually barred ten days ago, by
the hasty preparation Of the river bed
and three guns on the bluff, what is it,
practicability nowf The whole nava
power of the United States, with all thu
mortar fleets that can be constructed il
year, if unassisted by a powerful lane
force, would be shivered on that obscur,
point.
: We have repeatedly endeavored to sat
,, isfy the Southern public that il labore'
under as great a hallucination about tn
f powers Of gunboats rs the Yankees one
J did as to the dangers of masked batteries
That species of vessel has never beef
found useful, except to ravage the bank
of undefended rivers and shallow coasts
The capacities of feet of big ships, il
waters deep enough to permit their ar
proach, is different thing. Their broad
sides are crushing. But even the com
bined fleets of France and England wer
unable to force an entrance into the han
Dor of Sebastopol, INSTRUCTED only by
line OF hulks across It's mouth; and the
remained useless spectators of that siege
: Fleets will be found equally impotent o
Charleston, if similar means can be en-
ployed to arrest their course, even fo
half an hour under the fire of batteries

rd@ That some democrats should fol.

is not at all strange. But that tho masses
of the wing party of East Tennessee
should, at the bidding of the very men
who for twenty years have denounced
that same Andy as an unprincipled scoun-
drel and demagogue, should lower their
sails to him and follow in his wake, is be.

The Fight in Southwestern Virginia

1t appears that the reported capture of
eighteen hundred or two thousand Yam.
KEGS, in Southwestern Virginia, founded
on official dispatches addressed to Gen.
Lee, is not confirmed. Further accounts
OF the affair, however, received here, state
that in the fight near Princeton between
the Confederates and the Yankees, the
Federal loss was two hundred and eleven
killed, wounded and prisoners, seventy
of whom were killed or mortally wound.

ment Zone of Floyd's formation) acted a
conspicuous part in the fight, and behav.
ed with the greatest courage and discip-
line. 1t was only eight hundred and
nine strong, and was attacked in front
and rear by twenty-seven hundred Yam
KEGS. The enemy was put to fight, how
ever. with the loss above stated, and the
Regiment, which at one time il was
thought would be cut off and captured,
