The News Of the Week.

We have no news of startling Importance
to eehmunicate this week, but preparations
are evidently tending to completion, whereby
the most startling events will transpire in
the valley of Virginia, around Richmond, and
in the Valley of the Mississippi. See our
News columns.
The Richmond and Petersburg papers of
Eaa 0Jh INST, contained q dispatch from
Charlottesville, stating that the National In
solligencer and Baltimore Sun of late date
had been received there, in which it was an
nounccd that Seward, Lincoln's Secretary of
State, HAD resigned, and that the Governors
Of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut had
refused to furnish any more troops for the
war. OF course nobody believed the ridlc-
ulous statements, but all were surprised that
so silly a can0rd should have found its way
In the papers.
The Yankees at Newbern made another
little demonstration up the Neuse last week
bit after wasting a few shell, retired down
the river before an attack coald be made up
on them.
The quiet that now prevails Is but a lull in
the storm that will soon break forth in terri
BILE fury in several quarters, upon the result
of which depends an early termination of the
war, or its indefinite prolongation. If the
Southern armies are victorious, as we firmly
believe they will be, the growing feeling at
the North for the cessations Of hostilities,
viii become stronger and more general, and
demand and force at the hands Of the north
crn government a discontinuance of the strug-
gle for Senthern subjugation and a restora-
ton Of the old Union, that can never be &c
ccmphshed. If zee are defeated, it will only
inspire the South with a more determined
feeling of resistance and a more u~nconquera-
BILE resolution to drive back the invader or
every man perish in the attempt.

YANKEE OUTRAGEs.-Since Pope has issued
his infamous order, the Yankees have been
committing the most icndish outrages in the
counties of Madison and Culpeper, Virginia.
A painful incident occurred at Madison Court
House a few days ago, which should be prom
inently remembered among the atrocities of
the war. A party ofYankees visited the resi-
dence Of Gen. Banks, in his absence, and pro.
ceeded to demolish his furniture and table
ware. Mrs. Banks endeavored to resist their
destructive purposes, when one of the brutal
soldiers drew a sword to intimidate her, anc
the unhappy lzay suddenly dropped dead up
on the floor! This circumstance alone j:
sufficient to arouse the indignation ofthe in
habitants, who hope the day ~ofyengeance wil
not be long deferred.

The Election.

Tho election for Governor and members o.
the LEGISLATURE took place last Thursday, and
,;vht clad are we that the disgraceful contest
Is over. We give in another column such re-
turns as have come to hand. We cannot, AZ
40 early a day, say who has been elected
Governor. or what will be the political com
~pl.xion of the Legislature. Either Colonel
Vance or Col. Johnston will make a worthy
competent, patriotic Governor-snd those
who have vii fed either, for party purposes,
vii, now admit the fact. How heartless ana
disreputable is that system of political tac-
tics, which requires editors and others 10
deal in falsehood and SANDER against an non
orable opponent.
Let whatsoever may be returned as Govern
or and Legislators, if our common enemy os
,i.ve that their election is any evidence o.
sympathy for the old Union, or indicative Oh .
disposition to cease the struggle for Southern
;n~denenacnce and Southern nationality, tn'
s.ouel will prove how egregiously they hav'
hen deceived: North Carolina is as tru'

The sea of Irtemnerance.

Here are the breakers, on which every no.
bic aspiration Of the heart is wrecked, and
where tens of thousands of souls are yearly
lest in the dark oblivion ola drunkards grave.
t is computed that there are in this land not
less than leo, 900 habitual inebriates.
How can they who have faith in God and
hope in that Heaven which no drounka-d can
inherit, pass this mighty host by on the 9TH
er side, without one effort to save? Each
and every one needs sympathy and aid that
he may become a sober man; and through the
blessing of God inherit eternal life. Ny Chris
tan brothers, is not this a field of labor in
which you can initiate the example Of Him
who came to seek and to save the lost, and
who hath said, that "inasmuch as ye did it
unto one of the least of these, ye did it not
unto me ~ Go, then, and do thy masters
bidding.
T not for man to trihe +! Lifeis brief,
And sin is here
Our age is bat the falling of a leaf,
A dropping tear.
We have no time to sport away the hours
All must be earnest in a world like ours
The great work of reform should be begun
early, by the work o~fprevention. 1t is aston.
tishing how soon the seeds of Intempefanct
are planted in the habits of the young. 1t is
done in a thousand insinuating and unsus-
pecting ways, but more than all by the SLOW
but sure inroads of the home example, to
songs and glees of the jovial company, or tn
manifest satisfaction with which parents an
friends enjoy a quiet glass and talk over it
exhilarating effects. The Importance of en-
tirely breaking uF.this pernicious habit, an
intoxicating by example, as well as precept
the only safe and sound principle of total al
~stinence from the beginning of life, can NJ
S be over estimated. And here is our mo:
hopeful field of labor. Their lives not y
stained with the blight of Intemperance, the
;. nature open for instruction

What We write On the tablet remains there still,
And an angels work is not more high

How important then that all their teache

earnestly upon the work with a self.disint

FRom THE RAPPAHANNoCK.--The Richmond
Dispatch Of Saturday, furnishes the following:
From the position of affairs on the Kappa
hammock the impression prevails that active
operations cannot be long delayed. For
several days past the enemy have been ma
king such disposition eff his forces as to in
! duce the iy5jef that an aevaL.co IS ear'- con,
Of Pope has moved up from Cu1pepper to
Madison, and that a considerable Infantry
force had been advanced, in q southwesterly
direction as far as Stenardsyille, in Greene
county. This point is on the road leading
into the Valley, through Swift Run Gap, and
only a few miles from the foot of the Blue
Ridge.
The depredations committed by Pope's
army in Culpepper are without parallel,
even in this war of unheard atrocities. The
infamous order of the Yankee Commandant
of that Department has been put into prac-
teal operation, and as a result, large num-
bers of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, &C.,
have been stolen from their rightful owners,
l and the stock of wheat, corn. and other ne.
c~essaries of life, constituting the sustenance
of the people, have been appropriated to the
use of the invaders. In some instances fam
lilies have been left upon the verge of starya.
ton. Acts Of the most infamous character
enacted upon the negro women of the coun-
ty are reported in the presence of white la
dies, and in some instances deeds of violence
have been perpetrated upon respectable la
dies themselves. Citizens are daily arrested
and sent off to Washington, there to be in
carcerated. Among others, the Rev. John
Cole, an aged minister of the Episcopal
Church, was arrested on Sunday last, and
taken from his pulpit, for praying for the
Confederacy. They stole frem Capt John
Taylor, an officer in the. Confederate army,
