THE C0NscRHPT FATHERs.
Read the appeal of Senator Brown to the
aged men Of Mississippi, given this evening.
In doing 80, we beg to say that It is no common
appeal be makes, but one in which we feel as
sared bis whole heart and soul is engaged. TIE
people Of the State well know that Senator
Brown hes been in the field, sharing the hard
| ships and trials Of The soldier, and that his whole
ambition is with bis native State and country
viii not the g~ray-haired men, from city, town
and country, respond to his call win no
come of them move in The matter
~ The Huntsville Confederate has learned
from the highest authority, that in the council o.
war ordered by General Bragg, to consider the
question of retrest hom Kentucky, there was
among al the major and brigsdier generals
only one dissenting voice as to its prOpriety a
che time it was begun, and that was Humphrey
Marshall. There was, however, a majority il
favor Of fghsng on several occasions prior tC
shat time, of which General Bragg did not avail
himself The Kentuekisns still contend that il
General Bragg had remained there four to s1
weeks longer, he would have had a force o.
thirty thousand recruits. Among those who
were sanguine Of this result is the Hon. james
B Clay, who came out with the army. he had
nine hundred men enlisted, and had called for a
brigade, with fair prospects of success.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRn-we learn from the Pa
n1la Star that the dwelling house Of Hon. o.
Harrison was burned to the groand, about nine
o'clock last Wednesday night, together with his
kitchen, smoke house, etc. Apart Of the furni-
tuJe was saved, but much furniture, and quaint
hes of valuable clothing, nearly al the family
provisions, and between four and FIVE hundred
dollars in money, were destroyed or otherwise
bss. The family hsd retired early, and so much
greater was the confusion, distress and loss.
The FIRE is understood to have originated in ac-
eident or carslessness Of negroes in an out
house.
r The London Tunes, in an editorial in re-
latiou to the New York chamber of commerce
and the Confederate steamer Alabama, says:
The New York chamber of commerce hsd bet
ter send Captain Wilkes after the Alabama. We
cannot undertake to capture this one Confeder-
ate cruiser. We are very sorry the Brilliant was
burnt, and SO we are that towns on the Missis-
sippi were burnt, and that the numbering and
dishonoring Of men and women took place.
These scenes are said to hare suggested the
name Of this terrible cruiser"

Judge ~securately Ct this seasons product, estim-
ste the aggregate quantity of care syrup at 40,
000, 600 gallons, and the area cultivated at 25O,-
900 acres. In 1859, by lie showing of the last
census, the product was less than 8,0O0,0 600 gal
Ions. IF this estimate should prove correct, it
is sufficient to supply mere than half Of the
syrup aud mOlasses demand Of the United
States
THE SEARCH FOR THE ALABAMA-The
United States steamship, Dacotab, J. P. Nc
Kinstry commander, returned to New York from
her cruise nsearch Ofthe Alabama. The Daco-
tab sailed on the 9Th instant, and has since
cruised between the east end Of Long Island
and Cape Hsttsras, in the track Of treasure
ships. She has spoken a large number of yes
sells, but found no trace of the Alabama. She
for a supply of coal, and viii probably
sail sgsin soon.
Il We have q card from the ward master
of the Baptist Institute Hospital, thanking the
Ladies Aid Society Of this place, for the timely
Of twenty pair of socks. The good
shg; ia being done by the fair hands of cur own
as well as other counties, can only be estimated
BY those who witness the many necessities they
are supplying, OF appreciated by the suffering
to whose wants they are minissering.

Journal, and who has been for a few days cor

vcly through from St. Louis, having left that

Court, fer treason. His friends, however, had
no serious apprehension for the result Of tbs
