A curious and somewhat improbable
story is told by the Salute Public of Lyons,
France, as follows:
"a woman, while lately watching a
flock of sheep in the neighborhood of
Lyons, was caught in a violent storm and
took refuge under tree A short time
after a branch was torn from the trunk
by the wind and fell at her feet, accom- p
panied by number of pieces of gold.
Looking up in astonishmont she saw a
hole in the trunk whence the branch had
been torn, and putting her hand into il
found further lot Of gold pieces,
amounting together 20 twenty thousand
francs. The news of this discovery
spread rapidly in the village, and every
ore was lost in cOniecturos as to where
the money could have come from. Al
length some of the ancients solved the
enigma by stating that, abont thirty
years ago, a rich landed proprietor resid .
ing in the neighborhood had been muir
dered by his servant and robbed Of a
large sum Of money which he was known
TO have had in his possession, The SER
want was tried aud executed, but he
would never confess where he had con-
cealed the treasure. Is this the gold
stolen "

The Atlanta Coiyeaeracy makes the fol-
lowing appeal for the soldier;
"Men and women Of The sunny South
did you hear the keen wall as it shook
the rafters aud whistled through every
crevice of your rooms last night? Could
you sleep? Did no ragged, cold shv-
ering soldier run his long, cold hand over
your face, and hiss in your ear Wake
upl how can you thus sleep, when and
thousands Of your brave defenders are
facing these bleaks winds, with our bod
les half covered, our feet bare, and our
heads uncovered, and no gloves to pre-
vent the skin of our hands from cleaying
to the cold steel
"Keen walls -" Shaking raIters! %
Whistling through crevices !!"--"Rag-
ged, cold, shivering soldier ~ Long
cold hand !llll" Goodness, gracious
Why if the Confederacy piles on the
agony in that style, it will murder all its
readers with the nightmare.

BRAGG is securing the country around
Murfreesboro, and Shelbyville, with for
aging expeditions, who are ordered to
leave but one hundred and ttoe,aty pounds OF
meat in each family, taking all surplus
meat for the rebel army. How long will
the people endure such intolerable exac-
tions, for the sake of few pampered
Shareholders, who would rather see every
white man in the South starved, hung,
drawn and quartered, than give up one
of their slaves? The white man is no.
thing with these aristocrats, especially if
he be a poor man, mudsill," vulgar
mechanic. The State can hang the MUIR
derer if he be a white man, and make no
compensation to his wife and orphans /;
but if one of the negroes of Don. DAVIS
commit the same crime, he may indeed
be hung, but the State has to pay his
master well for his dreadful loss! And
TO support such a system, the non-slave-
holders of Tennessee are dragged into
the ranks, and their families are told
TO content themselves with a winters
supply of one hundred and twenty pounds
of meat.

NEGROES WORKING ON THE FoRTIFI-
CATIONS. - The Lynchburg Republican
states that the call Of the Secretary of
War for forty-five hundred negroes, to
work on the Notifications about Rich
mond, is being promptly responded to,
and the slaves forwarded TO the scene of
their labors. The SOuthside cars carry
down anumber daily, aud the quota call
ed for has nearly been filed, L. Grenada

What say you Of this, you tender-foqt-
ed.people, who are fearful that if the
Federal Government makes use of the
negroes of rebels it will incite insurrec-
ton? Shall we permit the rebels to use
negroes to dig bitches, throw up intrench-
ments, and man cannon, for the purpose
of numbering loyal soldiers, our breth.

Government, and hesitate TO use slaves
in any manner that may weaken, and

The "Master Race of Cavaliers" have
been doing some more dirty "Mudsill I"
tricks, lately. The Richmond (Va) En-
amiHer says that on account of the dis
honesty of Confederate Postmasters, it is
compelled to adopt the rule that all money
sent to it must be at the risk of the sub
scriber. The same paper says that Mr..
L. II. TALIFERRO, first door keeper of the
Senate, and member of one of the first
Virginia families, has been arrested for
stealing blank warrants on the State
Treasury of Virginia, and filling them up
to the amount of $4,000. We are as
tOnished at this meanness of the South
ern Cavaliers who are descended from the
" best English families" A gentleman
who went to bring the body of General
JACKSON from Perryville, states that the
rebels had stolen his buttons, shoulder
straps, boots, watch, and pocket book.
So much for the Cavaliers.

CAMDEN, SO. Ca, FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1862
WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

1t is her right to watch beside
The bed Of sickness and of pain
And when the heart almost despairs,
To whisper hopes Of health again.
Her right to make the hearthstone glad,
With gentle words and cheerful smile,
And when man is with care oppressed,
His wearied spirit to beguile.
1t is her right to train her sons,
So they may Senate chambers grace;
Thus is she with more honor crowned.
Than If herself had filed the place.
1t is her right to be admired,
BY every generous, manly heart,
When with true dignity and grace
She acteth we'll woman's part.
She hath dearer right than this
To be in one true heart enshrined
Who, though the world may all forsake,
Will cherish still and still be kind
And there is yet higher right,
Which also is to woman given;
'Tis hers to teach the infant mind,
Those truths divine which come from Heaven.
What should she more than to perform,
On earth le's holiest, sweetest tasks?
When you perfect woman find,
No other rights than these she asks.

The Virginia and the Cumberland.


The New York World publishes very in
tcresting statement, obtained from Mr.. A. B.
Smith, the pilot of the Cumberland during the
battle, and who. having escaped from the sink
ing vessel, arrived in New York on the 10th
inst. We reproduce the narrative in full:
On Saturday morning the United States
sloop- -of-war Cumberland laid off in the Roads
at Newport News, about three hundred yards
from the shore, the Congress being about two
hundred yards south of us. The morning was
mild and pleasant, and the day opened without
any noteworthy incident About l o'clock a
dark-lookng oljcct was deserted coming round
Crancy Island through Norfolk channel, and
proceeding straight in our direction. 1t was
Instantly recognized as the Merrimac. We
had been on tho lookout for her for sometime,
and were as well prepared then as we could
have been during the last six months.
AS she came ploughing through the water
right onwards to our port bow, she looked like
huge half-submerged crocodile. Her sides
seemed of solid iron, except where the guns
pointed from the narrow ports, and rose slant
ngIy from the water, like the roof of a house
or the arched back Of tortoise. Probably
the extreme height Of the apex from the wa
ter's edge perpcndicularIy, was ten feet. At
her prov could see the iron ram projecting
straight forwards, somewhat above the waters
edge, and paIcntly mass of iron; Small
boats were slung or fastened to her sdes and
the Confederate flag toatcd from one staff,
while pennant was fixed to another at the
stern. There was smoke stack or pipe near
her middle, and she was probably propeller,
no side wheels or machinery being visible.
She is probably covered with railroad iron
GETTING READY FOR ACTION.
Immediately on the appearing Of the Merr-
mac the command was given to make ready
for immediate action. All hands were ordered
to their places and the Cumberland was
sprung ACROSS the channel, so that her broad
side would bear on the Merrimac. The arma-
ment we could bring to bear on the Merrimac
was about eleven nine and ten inch Dahlgren
guns, and two pivot guns of the same make.
The gunners were at their posts, and we wait
ed eagerly for her to approach within range.
She came up at the rate of four or five knots
per hour.
OPENING THE BATTLE.
When the Mcrrimac arrived within about a
mile we opened on her with our pivot guns,
and as soon rs we could bear upon her onr
whole broadsidc commenced. Still she came
on, the balls bouncing from her mailed sides
like India rubber, apparently not making the

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER.
April 4, 1862.

NPlu low.
THE FOLLOWING PREAMBLE AND
Il resolutions, adopted by the Governor and
Council, have been ordered to be published:
Whereas information has reached the Gov
crnor and Council that sundry small vessels
have, from time to time, carried from the port
of Charleston cargos of cotton, which the Gov
ernor aud Council have reason to believe have
found their way to the enemy, and which GER
tainly have not brought back return cargos of
arms, munitions or army supplies; therefore,
ResolOed. That during the continuance of
the present blockade the expectation Of cotton
from any port in South Carolina is hereby pro
hibited, unless by the express permission OF
the Confederate State authorities.
RESOLVED, That an agent, resident in the City
of Charleston, be appointed, who shall be au-
thorizcd to grant permission for the expectation
of cotton on the terms hereinafter prescribed,
to wit: Affidavit shall be made that no part
of the cotton exported shall, with the consent
or connivance of the exporter, find its way into
the enemy: and bond, with good surety, shall
be given that the full amount of the net
proceeds or the sale of said cotton shall be
brought back into the Confederate States in
arms, munitions of war or army supplies, un-
less prevented by successful interpotition of the
enemy.
