A Good Measure.

In the Congressional proceedings Of
Saturday, it will be seen that Mr.. Kenan,
of this State, has introduced "a bill to
create and abolish certain offices, where
by the effective strength of the army will
be greatly increased" The object of
this measure is, we learn, to remove mil
itary men and able.bodied young men
otherwise subject to CONSUMPTION, from
all offices in the army whose duties may
be as well performed by civilians not IL
able to CONSUMPTION. The effect will be
to bring in the field very large body of
young men whose energies are now en-
ployed in offices which can be as we'll, if
not better, filed by civilians who, other,
wise. would take no part in the revolu-
ton. 1t is great economical measure,
and we hope Congress will hesitate long
before it suffers it to be rejected. -Sav

The Press.

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking of
the common notion that everybody has a
right to publish what he please, at the
publishers expense and not his own, says,
very forcibly:
The press is only free to its editors, and
to those whom its editors believe to have
good ground for addressing the public and
something to say which the public has an
interests in hearing. We recommend
those who labor under this mistake to
consider the following fact: that news
papers are made for the large class who
read, and not the small class who want to
write. The idea that when man SUBJ
scribes for newspaper, he lays its pro-
prietor under some defnable obligation,
or that he has right to publish his COM
munications therein with q single proviso
that they shall be inoffensive, is popu-
lar fancy and most ridiculous mistake,
which ought to be corrected. Not only
has he no such right; but the editor who
permits MN 10 put unmtefesting matter
in his columns infringes upon the rights
of four or five thousand other people to
crafty ore individual. Very few editors
act so absurdly.

The Road to Glory.

"The road to glory would cease to be
arduous if it were trite and trodden: and
great minds must always be ready not
only to take opportunities, but to make
them. Alexandria dragged the Pythan
priestess to the temple on forbidden
day. She exclaimed, My son, thou art
invincble! which was oracle enough for
him. On second occasion, he cut the
Gordian knot which others had in vain at
tempted to unite. Those who start for
human glory, like the mettled hounds of
Achaton, must pursue the game, not
only where there is path, but where
there is none. They must be able to SIM
ulate and dissimulate; to leap and to
creep; to conquer the earth like Caesar;
to fall down and kiss it like Brutus; to
throw their sword like Brennus. into
the trembling scale; or, Nelson, to snatch
the laurels from the doubtful hand of VIC
tory, while she is hesitating to bestow
them. That policy that can strike only
while the iron is hot, will be overcome by
that perseverance, which, like Crom-
wells, can make the iron hot by striking
and he that can only rule the storm.
must yield to him who can both raise and
rule it,"

The Pork and Beef Business.

We entirely agree with the Chattanoo-
ga Rebel, in the following paragraph:
We consider ourselves in duty bound
as good citizen of the Confederate Sta
ties and true friend to the soldier, to ex-
pose the system which was practioed last
year in reference to this business. We be-
lieve great deal of the sickness that
has been in the army this year was caused
by the so called bacon and beef that was
put up last winter. Many a soldier is now
in his grave. ewing to the food that was
furnished him. Wespeak knowingly on
this subject, and will be able to prove
every thing we shall say. We intend to
give this subject thorough overhauling.
and it the same thing is repeated this
year, the fault shall not be ours.

ought to know. and it is the business of
the public journals to state these facts,
and to show what outrages were commit.
ted in the purchase of SO called beef cat
tie, and the manner in which hogs were
slaughtered and pretended to be made
bacon of. We call upon all good citizens
who have sons or relatives in the army, or
who expect to be there themselves, to
give their testimony against these things
in order that similar outrages may not
be committed this fall. We speak par
ticularly of what happened in Middle
Tennessee; what happened in other pla-
ces, others can and we hope will state.

New Orleans.

A Yankee letter-writer gives the fol-
lowing illustrations of the presence of
Union sentiment in that city, of which
t'.c Northern papers have been INDUCING
SO largely:
THE Union feeling existing there
that they talk so much about-does not
exist; for Butler says that even the wo-
men and children are the 'd-d'st rebels

tie Union feeling displayed, where there
was nothing to be gained. Selt-interest
has been the parent of all Union feeling
exhibited thereof this feel certain
To demonstrate this fact, let me relate an
incident which l know to be authentic.
Hrs. -, whose husband has come
oat strong on the Union subject, know
inAthat in the public schools there would
helosspY opportunities for those who
would hurrah for the stars and stripes,
and desiring to obtain the principalship
OF one of the girls high schools, called
upon General Butler, accompanied by
.'seoesh" lady, who was anxious to see
the Brute without having any business
herself to take her there. Mrs. -, af.
ter comp!imenting Butler highly upon
the condition of the streets and the city
generally, and expressing her devoted al
legiance to the old flag, stated that she

of har heart, to take the oath of allegi-
anceI Butler allowed her to get that far,
and mo farther-"Get out madam! get
out! don't say another word; have new
er seen the woman in the South yet, who
would take the oath of allegiance, or
even hear of it, unless they had an OBJ
jectto gain in it. They are the damndest
rebels in the whole Confederacy of rebels.
Geto madam; you want some favor

The secesh lady couldn't keep it, you
may be sure; and it was no time before
the story was out. Another incident:-
While our vessel was lying at the pickets,
the Yankee sentinels picked up little

near them, and tried to induce him to

said: "Hurrah for Lincoln, or we'll drop

little rebel; and, with shout, they set
him down, saying he was rebel pluck to
the backbone. These two instances that
know of, are pretty fair specimens of
the Union feeling there. A deadly ha-

burns in the hearts of old and young,
men, women and children, with few ex-
ceptions to the rule.

Greeley and the War.

Horace Greeley, in the New York III
bune, Of November 10th, 1860, after the
election of Lincoln, gave utterance to the
following sentiments:
1--WE hold with Jefferson 10 the inali-
enable right of communities TO alter or
abolish forms of Government that have
become oppressive or injurious, andif the
cotton States shall become satisfied that
they can do better out OF the Union than
III it, we Insist on letting them go in
peace. The right.to secede may be re-
volutionary one, but it exists, neyerthe-
less, and we do not see how one party
can have right to do, what another par!
ty has right to prevent. Whenever a
considerable section of the Union shall
deliberately resolve to go out, We shah
resist all conservative measures, desigHet
TO Keep It ,iu.v We hope never. r. I've IA
"A Republic, whereof one section is pinn-
ed to the residue by bayonets." 81,
In the same paper of December nth,
1860, he said "If ever seven OF eight
States send agents to Washington to say:
we want to get out of the Union we
shall feel constrained by our devotion to
human liberty to say, let them gop And
we do not see how we could take the 9TH
err side, without coming in direct conflict
with those rights of men which we hold
paramount to all political arrangements,
however convenient and advantageous"
Horace's plan failed. "a considerable
section of the Union deliberately resolv-
ed to 60 out"-they sent agents to WASH
ington to say: 1--WE want to get out of
the Union" but they were not permitted
to Ego in peace"
Shortly after the war began, Greeley
proposed that if the Yankee army should
be beaten in pitched battle of any mag
nitude, it should be accepted by them as
evidence that the Southern rebellion"
was no transient and circumscribed dis
turbance, but general uprising, which
it would be wrong if not useless to at
tempt to control by force. Manassas
came up to the requirement but the war
went or. Some time after, Horace pro-
posed that if the war should last twelve
months, the contest should then be ADAM
doned by the North, since there was no
instance in history of revolution that
had maintained itself successfully for
twelve months being after suppressed
The twelve months expired, but still the
war went on. At later day he exclaim-
ed, "Woe be to this land yankee land)
if, when the month of May comes, the
Rebellion still rears d defiant 'front.'
May has come and gone, and the IRON
ofthe "Rebellion" was never so high o
so defiant. We wish Horace would &C
in an honest mood, as he sometime
does, and tell us what lie really think
of the prospects of Lincoln, Seward an'
Mcclellan. When and how does til
Philosopher think the war will end.

The Last Chance.

The undersigned are authorized by Maj. Gen.
John p. McCown to raise Regiment of Infantry
for the Confederate service, for three years or
during the war. This will be the last chance to
avoid eonscription and enter tho service volunta-
rily. Enrolling officers have already been ap..
pointed, and those in authority have determined
to bring the entire available force of the Govern
ncnt into the field as soon as possible. The
sooner we all shoulder our muskets and enter the
contest the sooner VIC will be permitted to return
to our homes in peace. The officers Of the Regi-
mont will all be elected by tho men, and each
volunteer will receive bounty Of Fifty Dollars
when mustered in and organized. We are assur.
cd that the Regiment will receive good arms and
equipments.
Persons engaged in raising Companies, and de-
string to join this Regiment, will address either

Movements in Western Virginia.

From q gentleman who arrived in this
city yesterday, we have some interesting
particulars of the movements of the
forces under Major General Loring, in
WesiArn- Nirtinia- On -Sat,,.aAY.-~~Al=
the army broke camp at their former
headquarters, 1.-THE Narrows of New river,
in Giles county, moving in three col
umns. These three columns formed a
junction on Tuesday morning at Shady
Springs, in Raleigh county, and that eve
ming encamped short distance beyond
Raleigh Court House. On Wednesday
they reached McCoy's, in Fayette county,
nine miles Southeast of the Court House.
On Thursday morning they continued
their march in fine spirits.
The enemy were rapidly retreating be-
fore our forces, and left Raleigh Court
House only few days before the entrance
of our forces. They numbered about
1000. At that place they cut port holes
in nearly every house, declaring their in
tention to make stand against the rebel
forces. So suddenly did they leave on
hearing Of the approach of our troops
thata number of Union men who were
preparing to leave with them were left
behind 10 fall into the hands of our SOL
diers. The whole of the Greenbrier Val
ley has been evacuated, the enemy NOV
ing lin the direction of the Kanawha
Valley.
F. Our informant says that within the last
ten days not less than eight hundred 10y
al Western Virginians have passed
through Greenbrier county, en- route to
join the forces of Gems. Loring and Floyd.
These represent that thousands Of others
will unite with our forces as opportunity
affords. Richmond Dispatch.

to which it has reference, will most eff
fectually muzzle the press and stop all

The Senate seems to be actua.ed by

ted alone by printers" and editors over
the CONSUMPTION age. They labor under
an egregious misconception of the bust
ness of Journalism. The successful con-
duct of daily newspaper in city re-
quires an efficient corps of editors and re-
porters, and the effect of breaking up
existing organizations, and exacting mil
itary service from all attaches on newspa-
pers except old men and printers, will
have the effect of forcing many journals,
to suspend publication. And this is pro-
tecting the "liberty of the press!" AS we
suggested the other day, the best mode
of dealing with the newspapers is to au-
thorize the exemption of all persons con-
nected with them, whom the proprietors

The Northern Papers,

Many of our Southern exchanges are
filled with the mendacious accounts of
the Northern press on the late battles in
Maryland. They are generally well writ
ten, but, as they are made up mostly of
lies and Misrepresentation, we can't ex-
actly see the object of their reproduction.
They are calculated to create doubts in
the mind of the indiscrimihate reader,
and furnish foundation tor the disaf-
fected to build reports upon prejudicial
to the Southern cause. OF course, their
appearance in Southern papers, is intend
ed for no such purpose.
