From the North.

Our accounts of the general condition |
Of affairs in the North are intelligent,
and. we believe, moro reliable than the
usual information derived from North
ern sources.
The general popular sentiment was de-
cided in favor of the prosecution of the
war, despite financial straits, with the
expectation of shortly smashing off the
face of the rebellion. The expenditures
of the government are increasing, and
are estimated at S2,3OO,O0O per day
The abolition question in Congress Is
closely watched by what remains of the
Democratic party in the North. The
measure of emancipation. with respect
10 the District of Columbia, was regarded
as tentative, being looked upon as a pre-
fatory experiment of the emancipation
scheme proposed by President Lincoln
for the border States. 1t had produced
known and marked disafiection in the
army, and it is said that a large number
of officers had threatened to throw VI
their commissions If the anti-slavery pro
gramme was carried out Wages have
declined in all parts of the North. II
the West provisions were dirt cheap, OF
account of the loss Of the Southern mar
ket. Ten to fifteen cents for a bushel o
corn, twenty to twenty-five cents 10
wheat, five cents for eggs by the dozen
, and ten cents pound for butter.

Huntsville, Alabama,

A body of Federal soldiers last Friday
morning made their appearanceat Hunts
vile, and took possession of the place,
thus cutting off railroad and telegraphlc
communication direct, for the time be-
ing, between this section and our line OF
military operations in the direction Of
Memphis. They captured an engine or
two belonging to the Memphis and Char
lesion road, and extended their pickets
and scouts to Stevenson. We have since
learned that they destroyed one bridge on
the railroad between Stevenson and the
river-and then retired TO Huntsville,
which place they subsequently left, NOV
ing in the direction Of Decatur. The
Confederate guerrillas are gathering upon
their rear. We hope the Federals may
succeed in carrying their explorations a
hundred miles or so into the INTERIOR
If they do, and any of them ever get
back to Lincolndom, we will admit that
we have been mistaken in the spirit and
temper of the people they are invading

From Corinth.


The Lynchburg Republican learns the
following from gentleman who was in
the fight:
The night before the battle council
of all the Generals was held, in which
the plan of attack was stated by Beaure-
gard, and further explained by map
General Crttenden, who was the young
est General present, on being assigned
his position, remarked "That will bring
my iear to the 'front.'" 81 am glad to
hear you say SO, replied Beauregard, "it
shows that you fully understand our plan,
and the position assigned you is desired
to have that effect 1t might make n
difference to regulars, but to volunteers it
can make none"
All the killed Of the enemy were cased
in flexible steel mail, protecting the
breast, leaving free play for all their
limbs.
With regard to the death of General
Johnston, the Atlanta Commonwealth says:
The death wound of Gen. Johnston
was inflicted on the calf of the right leg,
and was considered by him as only a flesh
wound. Soon after receiving it he gave
an order to Governor Harris, who was act
ing as volunteer aid to him, who, on his
return to General Johnston, in a different
part Of the field, found him exhausted
from loss of blood, and Keeling in his sad
die. Riding up to him, Governor Harris
asked, care you hurt~ to which the now
dying hero answered ayes, and fear
MORALLY" and then, stretching out both
arms towards his companion, fell from
his horse, and soon after expired.

From the Peninsula.

All the information we have from the
Peninsula is gathered from soldier, from
a Connecticut regiment, who made his
way into our lines yesterday morning,
and who was brought up to the city in
the evening. The account he gives Of
the operations of the Federal forces pos.
sesses some interest, and pretty clearly
indicate their design to make a strong
demonstration against us in that quarter.
He says that Mcclellan is in command in
person on the Peninsula, and that he has
under him force amounting to one hun
dred to one hundred and twenty-five
thousand men. He says that no little
disaffection exists among the troops un-
der Mcclellan, and gives it as his belief
that many more would desert if opportu-
nifty permitted. They are poorly fed and
badly clothed, and many of them weary
of the service. He states that entrench-
ments are being thrown up within GOO
yards of our picket lines.--Richmond Dis.

Our Victory in New Mexico-Sur-
render of Fort Craig.

1t seems that our victory in New Mex
leo has been followed by the surrender of
the garrison at Fort Craig. The capitu-
lation was unconditional. A private let
ter to the New Orleans Pcayune says:
Colonel Candy, the Federal command
er, proposed that himself and command
be permitted to depart on condition that
they pledge themselves not to serve
again during the war, but Gen. Sibley
insisted upon an unconditional surrender.
With the fall of Fort Craig the last YES
tige Of Federal rule vanishes from New
Mexico. We are now masters of that
vast and wealthy region-have taken all
the enemy's strongholds, captured some
1000 of his men, besides an immense
amount of provisions for man and horse,
and large stores of ammunition and
arms. The quantities Of provisions and
ammunition must be large, as Fort Craig
was said to be in condition for six
months siege,

Arms from Europe.

We still continue to receive occasional
ly instruments of arms from Europe
They appear to drop just as they are
needed. They run the blockade with
apparently no difficulty. No better CON-
mentary on the inetIiciency of the block
ade need be given than the number of
arms the South has received from Eu-
rope since the beginning Of the war, and
the very few which have fallen into the
hands of the enemy. An efficient block
AIDE of the Southern coast is matter of
irnpossibility. That foreign Governments
connive at such paper affair, is one of
the best proofs of their indspositon to
interfere in the present contest.

Important from Mexico.

Col. Pickett, formerly so well and IA
vorably known as American CONSUL at
Vera Cruz, and more recently as Confed-
crate diplomatic agent in Mexico, has
arrived at New Orleans. He is on his
way to Richmond. Col. Pickett confirms
the Geographic report of the Withdrawal
of England from the tripartite interven-
ton in Mexico. The English troops had
already re-embarked. There was still a
large English fleet, carrying about zoe
guns, at Vera Cruz. 1t was supposed
that this fleet would soon leave for oul
Gulf ports.
The Mexican authorities have imposed
tax of ten dollars bale on Cotton
brought to Matamoras IN ran8itu. In adj
dition to this there is charge Of five
dollars a bale for lighterage.

More Runaways.

1t is said there are more people in this
county preparing to make bust for Old
Kaintuck. They will not thank us for
the advice, though well meant; out they
had better remain where they are. They
will not be molested if they behave them
selves. Stay, and attend to your business
plant and grow every thing you can
listen not to tho lies of the Lincolnites,
give no credence to their monstrous mum
chausens-be loyal, industrious, frugal
and discreet-help to feed the hungry and
clolhe the naked-learn to do without
whskey and coffee both-and you may
live to die in your beds like good chris
tians, perhaps cheat the devil of his just
dues, and leave name and memory of
which your children will not be ashamed.
This is the best advice we can give, and
those not disposed to follow it have our
permission to put at their earliest conve-
nience, and the sooner the better.

From the Battle Field.

We are permitted to max the follow
ing extract from letter written by a
member of Col. Nose Whites regiment:
BURNsvILLE, Miss, April 9th.
The battle has been long and bloody,
but no fighting has been done today, as
an armistice of two days was agreed upon,
yesterday and today. Tomorrow we 90
to work again, determined to conquer or
leave our bodies on the field. Our COM
pany will form part of the attacking force
tomorrow-the cars are in readiness to
carry us to the battlefield Our brigade
has been held as reserve, and is now
called upon to act. No one speaks of be-
ing conquered, but in the compressed lips
and flashing eyes of all may be read the
firm resolve "to do or die"
Col. Cummings regiment lin which
Jim is, was in the thickest of the fight,
and has dearly won the appellation of the
Bloody Nineteenth. They have, in two
days, captured by hard fighting two en-
tire regiments, except those killed by
them. Col, Cummings had his thumb
shot off, Capt. Willett was MORALLY wound
ed, Lieut.. Nathan Gregg is wounded in
the stomach, Jim jackson is wounded
Brother Jim is safe. He has been at his
post at all hours, passed through the hot
test of the fire, has cheered on his men
to the charge up to the very teeth of the
enemy, but suffered no hurt. Very many
reports are in circulation as to the force
of the enemy, which is enormous.

Enronean Views of the War.

The London Post, March Is, closes an
article on the war with the following re-
marks:
1t appears impossible that the contest
can continue very long. II is quite SUI
fcient for one of the two Confederacies
to be unable to fight further in order TO
insure its termination. Whether the
South can continue hosiilities for an in
definite period or not, SONS rdy Gear
hat he North cannot. Victorious IN Ten
nessee. great prospects open before the
more ambitious politicians in Boston and
| New York, who think they see in these
successes the fall Of 5le South. Rat pub
lie men at Washington, LET tliom say what
they will, probably know better. They
know that the farther they 90 the more
they will be extending operations nom
the base of themi and the greater, also
will be the opposition they will receive.
They are in .air way TO repossess the
border States But they see that nothing
can be more different than recloiming
Tennessee and retaining the Gulf States.
Tennessee, like Kentucky, has been luke
warm and divided. From their own un-
contested territory they have made at
last something approaching 10 an aoqui-
sition of these two waverers.
But in penetrating the Gulf States from
Tennessee, they would Tot only have Il
far more serious opposition to encounter
they would also run the danger OF Ten
!. nessee rising against them in their rear
There is no doubt that it makes an I'M

The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1862-04-18

We are not surprised to learn from
sources which we consider reliable, that
many of the soberminded people Of the
North are beginning to be heartily sick
and tired of the present war, and to long
for an amicable settlement. So far as
they are concerned, the frenzy Of the
war fever has passed away, and they are
solicitous for quiet and repose. They
are not blind to the fact that the only
parties whom the war benelits are the
SPECTATORS the politicians and the milf
tary adventures; whilst the solid and
productive classes Of society are wither-
cd as by the breath OF pestilence.-
But unfortunately, they are powerless to
resist the expressions under which they
groan. Bayonets are in the ascendant,
and the willy despot who wields them
has the North more completely at his
mercy than the South 1t is in vain that
the minority pants for peace-that peace
which the South offered at the beginning,
and which she is still willing to accept
upon just and honorable terms Seward
will not permit peace till his vulture APP
petite for carnage is glutted by the bloody
overthrow of the South, or by sheer in
capacity to prosecute further his afro
cious schemes. The North has sown the
wind, and must reap the whirlwind. 1t
may realize ere long that another in
spired declaration sometimes applies to
nations, as well as individuals: "He that
draws the sword shall perish by the
sword"

Patriotic Response.

Although seeming indifference has
been manifested by the business men and
large property holders Of Richmond, to
the noble and patriotic proposition OF Col,

boat, it seems that that proposition has
attracted attention elsewhere. We APP
pend note from a gentleman in Ten

serving the city from the tread of the
vandal hordes of Lincoln:
