in the back, that went through his body. But,

No man in power can expect to do bis duty

and I have no doubt my errors are many and
great. With a conscientious conviction, how
ever, that my course is right, l shall pursue It
and if at the end Of the war, when our indie
pende1cs is secured, an enlightened public jadg-
ment shall condemn me, after hearing the tssti-
mony of those who are now with me, CALAMITY
and nobly defending their c%olOrs, as well IS Of
those who have basely deserted to their homes
to SANDER and revile their officers, in justifca-

but endeavor in silence to repent Of my errors.
In any event, 1 shall enjoy the consolation of
having done something to prevent the moral
degradation Of our armies and our society.
Had not the reformation Of gTOg shops. gam

e This community were yesterday startled
and pained to hear Of the death Of Captain B.
S. Tsppsn, Jr-, killed IN an attempt to qaeH a
mUtiny amongst a party Of bis men. on Bayou
LsfouTehe, five or six miles from Thibadeaux,
louisiana. They he'd barTicaded their camp
and defied their officers. He, with a captain and
lieutenant, went boldly into the camp, and both
were instantly shot. The murderers were a
wild set of oyster men and boatmen-men with
out manliness or magnanimity. They imme-
diately took refuge under the g~unboats Of the
enemy, with whom they had a concerted plan of
tresehery. The loyal soldiers and people have
turned out to take the .wTetches, designing to
deal with them as with wild beasts. Tsppan
was a member Of the convention Of Louisiana
when the State secsded, snd at the time of bis
death, a member Of the legislature. He was
formerly district attorney Of the city Of New
Orleans. As 6 distinguished lawyer and public
speaker, and no less a patriot and soldier, the
people of his own city and State viii lament his
death. This community, amongst whom he
once resided, will share the feeling, and none
viii fail to sympsthize with his father, Gen. B.
s. Tappan, Of this city, in the loss Of a noble
and affectiOnste son. Captain Tappan left q
wife and six children to mourn bis iOss.-Vieks-

CAPTURE OF OUR PICKETS-We learn that
a party of pickets, belonging to Captain Red
dicks company of cavalry, were circumvented
on Crooked river, in Glynn county, Friday last,
under the following circumstances The pickets
were twelve in number, and having stationed a
sentinel on the river, the remainder Of the party
retired to a house some two hundred yards dis
tant, for what purpose is not stated or known
by our informant. A party Of Federals, numb
ering seventy-6ve, landed about a mile below
the house, and being piloted round by a tory
named Spauldiug, came upon the house in the
rear, and completely surrounded it before The
party inside were aware Of their presence. The
pickets were unsrmed, but made a break through
the Yankees, all escaping but two, q man named
Thomas, and another whose name is not rec0l-
lected. a citizen named Crawford was also
captured. One Of the piekets had forty shots
fired at him, but luckily none of them took eff
feet. Such carelessness on the part OF our pick
cts should not be allowed to pass unnoticed.-

waited, and suffered. and hoped.
The government of the Confederate Stsses is
pledged by the unanimous vote of its Congress,
by the distinct declaration of its President, the
soldier and statesman, Davis, never TO cease this
war until Maryland has the opportunity to de-
eide for herself her own fate, untrameled and
free frcm Federal bsyonets.
The people Of the South, with unaninimity
unparalleled, have given their hearts to our ma
tive State, and hundreds Of thousands Of her
sons have sworn, with arms IN their hands, that
you shall be free.
You must now do your part. We have the
arms here for you. am authorized Immediately

BULLET MAKING MACHINE-Mr. Lit;leoage.
of Austin, has, by the help Of our steam engine,
tested the capacity of his newly invented and
patented bullet making machine. Quite g
number Of our citizens, with the officers Of the
ordnance department, witnessed the exhibition
and were delighted with the machine. There
seems to be no limit to the number Of bullets it
is capable of turning ont per minute, as one is
made at every revolution of the dies. Sixty per
minute were made with but a small pressure Of
steam, while with more force over 100 were pro.
duced. The bullets made by The machine are a
very superior article Of Mini bullets, being com
pressed, sohd and Of perfect shape. Any kind
Of bullet can be made by changing the dies.
The inventor is a Texan, and the machine was
made 10 this State. We understand that Msjol
Mecklin, Of the ordnance department, is pleased
with II, and viii probably accept it in accord
srce with a eontTsct made some time since be-
tween the government and Nr. Littlepage. We
are certain it VIII save the government money,
besides encouraging domestic genius and man

A recent letter from the camp at Chalons says
that he is now instituting experiments to test a
