FIRE.-A large warehouse, on the plantation
of John Wright, esq, of this town, in which his
crop was housed, was discovered to be on fire
about one o'clock on Thursday last, at Wayues-
boro, about one mile from town. The house con-
tanned about 10000 pounds of seed cotton; be-
tween 100 and geo barrels of corn: rs bushels of
peas; all his farming utensils and saddle and
bride. In a few hours all were consumed except
enough seed cotton to make about IL bales.
The warehouse belonged to the North Carolina
Rail Road Company. The origin of the fire is
not known GoldsJoro Tribune.

CoTToN SEED SoAP.-Put cotton-seed into a
large and strong iron pot, in small quantities at
time, mash them we'll with a wooden pestle, and
then pour in a certain quantity of common ley,
and boil thoroughly; strain in an ordinary seive,
and proceed in the usual way, in drying and cut
ting into cakes Since there is every probability
that grease may be scarce in some parts of the
country the ensuing year, it is worthy of trial.
Let some of our domestic soap-boiers make the
experiment, and report progress, because hereaf-

NEwBERN, Jan. 7th, 1862.

Messrs. Editors 1t is rumored that Judge
Badger and Judge Rufin, sr., have expressed the
opinion that the seizure of Mason and Slidell was
in accordance with the laws of nations Is this
true, seeing that the English crown lawyers say it
was illegal, aud that the Lincoln lawyers also admit
it to be So Nj.
We are not prepared to answer the query ofour
correspondent. We hope it is not true that eth
er of the gentlemen named expressed the opinion
imputed to them. Nevertheless, we have heard
that both of them did state that Capt Wilkes had
violated no law of nations by the detention of the
Trent and the capture of our Commissioners

CONrRIBUTIoNs.-Maj. Jones, the superintendent of
the Passport Office at Richmond publishes statement
showing the amount of voluntary contributions made
by southern people for the support of the army 1t will
be that North Carolina stands highest the list.
We extract from the statement the following:
OF the supplies sent to the army in Missouri Arkan-
and Kentucky, have account whatever; but as
the patriotic devotion animates people every
where there be no doubt that equal amount of
clothing stores, &C. have been sent to those troops
The whole amount of contributions, during the last
three months could not have fallen short of THREE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. The subjoned list compr-
almost exclusively the donations made to the army
of the Potomac:

AN 1NcIDENT.-The Baltimore South of late

AN 1NCIDENT.-The Baltimore South of late
date has the following:
Several of the kind clergymen of Boston have
recently been solictous for the spiritual welfare
OF the political prisoners confined in Fort Warren,
and accordingly made propositions to appear be-
fore them for the purpose of rendering religious
consolation. The gentlemen addressed accepted
the tender with becoming gratitude, and deputed
one OF their number to pen appropriate re-
sponse-which was in this wise: Thanks were
returned for che offer made and one of the clergy
men was requested to preach on the ensuing Sab
bath discourse from the following text:
Is Chapter of the Acts Of the Apostles, 9th
verse: "For it seemeth to me unreasonable to
send prisoner and not withal to signify the
crimes laid against him."
1t is needless to say, that the spiritual consoa-
ton was not afforded and the sermon not preach
ed.
BaF That base vagabond Chas Henry Foster
who pretends to hail from North Carolina, it seems
cannot pass muster for responsibility even among
the corrupt hirelings of Abe Lincoln A Wash
ington correspondent says:
The examination of the case of Foster, the
member from North Carolina, before the Commit
tee on Elections, shows the whole affair to be a
base fraud and letters written to Northern papers
about the uprising of Union sentiment and enthu-
siastic meetings there was manufactured for the
occasion.

"Is EVERY MAN DOING DUTY."-A short article

people of the South that they their efforts
in behalf of the of the Confederacy. Some
do much and give great deal to the good cause

THE PRosPEcT.-As a matter of course, there is a
good deal of anxiety manifested by the people hear
expressions of opinion the probabilities of peace
Our opinion worth than that of others
on the subject but we have concluded that the war
will last for time yet and that it will require the
vigorous and united exertions of the people of the
South to bring it a successful termination. 1t is
always best prepare for the worst and be ready
meet any emergency. If England, France or Spain
nterferes in behalf the contest will end, but
must not rely on that-we must rally to the support
Of Government encourage volunteering and assist
in sustaining and supporting the brave in the
field help their families in their absence and do every
thing in power to push forward the of the
South. If receive foreign aid, well and good-if
do not receive such aid achieve indie
pendence by our efforts and let Us all make our
calculations accordingly.
The Wilmington Journal has an article on this sub
jcct from which extract the following though it
differs somewhat from views as to the chances
for early peace:
The chance for an early peace exists in the fact
that, for their sake, European powers, to-wit,
France England, BOTH will become Involved with
the North. 1t is evident that the first effort of the
foreign maritime power would he to raise the blockade
of the Southern ports The result of this would be to
open the d,rcct trade to Europc-to give the
opportunity, and restrict to that opportunity of
direct trade. All the time that blockade NIGH be
raised by the action of governments at with the
North, would be much time employed in forming
commercial aud financial relations with our real
customers the other side the water. Peuple may
say what they please about foreign ntervention but
is plain that xix months of ojIcr the blockade
had been virtually raised, compelling the South and
Europe 10 meet face to face dSPoSinI with Northern
Intermediates. would bc worth nncuuutcd millions
the future commerce of the South. This only be
done 10y British or French fleets We that
done, and think will IT, sooner or later. By
the time 1t Is done manufa Will have tained
perhaps, as much development they reasonably
without additional! facilities which the breaking of the
blockade alone can bring them.
We mast confess, then, that regard the entry of
third party on the scene breaking the blockade Is
much to be desired, its inevitable result being the
establishment of direct trade and financial ndepend-
ence At any rate under circumstances p0liti-
cal independence must eventually by the unaided
cxcrtionS of the South herself the great
sscrices-at the risk elcyatiug the military

portance. Everything appears to be at stand-still.

Conflrrates bombarded the of Hancock situated
on the left bank of the Potomac in Washington county,
MARYLAND 1t is not known what image the Federals
sustained. The Confederates destroyed depot and
portion of the track of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
in that section.
On the coast of North Carolina, apprehensions felt
of attack by Burnsdes expedition, which has been
preparing the North for time past with light draft
boats. 1t is stated that part of the expedition has
already appeared in Pamco Sound. All the N. c. troops
which encamped Raleigh, have been moved to the
coast.
appears that the Lincones have left the main land and
retreated to their ships.

LOOK OUT.-It will be well if the Southern people
take warning from he following, and prepare to guard
against the destruction of property
"Memphs, JAN "a mercantile firm here has re-
ccived letter from friend in the Southern part of
Kentucky i'll which it is stated that the Federal Gov
ernment has made clandestine arrangements with par
doned convics of desperate characters in the Northern
penitenares and prisons, to send them into different
portions of the South for the purpose of setting fire to
and burning up everything they can, and especially
manufactures and machine shops The Federals
pay literally for all such work, they regard it
a very good way to cripple and alarm the Southern
people.
The above information obtained from party
employed by the Yankee Government and is commit
nicated the South and place them the alert
to discover and promptly execute all such persons"
If of these rascas caught in the South, let
swift vengeance be executed, and recommend that
the people organize committees in their respective
neghborhoods to watch for and guard against the
of ncenGiarieS We believe there vigilance
