sions to our army at Cvrinth. We are per
fectly willing that every pound of provisions
that we have to spare, should 90 to our patriot
soldiers, whenever needed, VIC having fall guar
antee that they will get it. And we are per-
fectly willing to take the risk whenever it is

Commanding General of the Confederate Army
Yours with respect,

10 We accede to the propriety Of what we
learn to be the wishes of Gen'l Hindman, and
refrain from making any disclosures regarding
our resources, military movements, which
may be useful to the enemy. Our readers will
understand that this reticence, on some sub
jects, concerning which they may seek infor-
nation, is for our common good, and is only
temporary.

WHICH is THE MosT DEvILIsH 1T is very
hard to decide the pain, Of rascality between
Hunter. Butler, and Wool. Paris, in award
not have been more puzzled. After all, it is a
matter of taste; but, on the whole, we vote
for Butler.
Hunter endeavors to excite servile insur-
rection, and arm the slaves The contempla-
ton of the horrors ordinarily incident to ex-
teusive and successful slave instructions, such
as that of San Domingo, gives him strong
claims, certainly. He is no mean aspirant for
the crown of ineffablc meanness. Set him
down for the third prize
Wool has passed the age of fiery passions.
Earnings and massacres, such usually at
tend slave Instructions, are to him rather
coarse and primitive modes of cruelty. The
hoary- headed old sinner does not totter on the
verge of the grave without the wisdom of q
greater experience. His plan is subtler one
more jesuitical. He has taken possession
of the city of Norfolk, and refuses provisions
to the inhabitants from either side, until the
authorities of the town succumb to Federal
rule. At last accounts, Through :he Rich
mond Enquirer, of the 6th,) many women
and children were starving. 1t must be con.
fessed that the sight of pale and emaciatcd
mothers bending over dying infants, with
plnched features, is n subtler torture than
massacres in hot blood or death by blazing
dwellings,. 1t beats racks and thumb screws
Give him prize second-the blue ribbon.
But Butler has struck higher key. He
towers aloft in villainy. lie would compel all
that is beautiful and angelic in the South, to
come to the support of the Union. Our women
must suppress all grief for brothers, and hus-
bands, and lovers slain in battle. Must hide
all clouds of anxiety for loved ones in the dis
tant camps. Must smile and fawn upon those
who have murdered their kindred Must re-
ceive them with balls and fetes. and rejoicing,
to show how they welcome the .'old flag,
and how proud they are of their deliyerers :
or if not-The penalty is not of the common
sort. which kills or tortures the body. by quick
or tardy process-but such women only
whisper to each other, with white hps-such
rs cannot be written: such a, to think of,
cur,lles the blood with ul sense o. horror.

reward.

Beg Hon. C. B. Mitchell has returned
from an interview with Gen. H;ndman, on the
subject Of modifying the cotton order. It has
been modified so as to obyiate the necessity of
hauling and storing, as at first determined.
The order viii be published, when received.
Let it suffice for the present to say, that all
provision is made to have every lock of it
burned before the enemy can possibly reach it.
We are glad to learn, in this connection
that Gen. Hindman is infusing great energy
and activity into every branch of the public
service; and is anxious, while he does every
thing to secure the public defence, to also ac
commodate the citizens to the extent of biz
power. We should all heartily cooperate in
his orders, and work with him against a com.
mon enemy. He may be mistaken sometimes
in facts. That may be easily remedied.
Thanks are due DIR. Mitchell and our fel-
low-citizen, W. W. Andrews Esq. who aecompa-
MED him, for their public spiritin this matter

FORTRESS MONROE, March 29-On Friday
evening the rebels threw ball from one OF the
rifle guns at Sewall's Point which came within
about 300 yards o: the shipping in the Upper
Roadstead.
The Lincoln gun has been mounted and this
morning tested ia order to test the carriage
Only ten shots were fired. The second shot was
a splendid ricochet shot The immense ball
weighing 437 pounds, after making three plunges
and renewed fight, finally sunk away off neal
Sewall's Point.
If the Merrimac could stand ten of the Lin
coin pills" as they are called here, she is proof
against all appliances of modern gunnery.
There were some signs of actiyit. toward Nor

Sewall's Point. and the smoke from a large yes
sci could be seen off above Craney Island.
A propeller, apparently gunboat. also came
down the James river within about three miles oil

ever. forbids all expectation of the approach o.
the Merrimac until the storm is over.
