TOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

Mr.. EDITOR. As it is woman's duty tys
give her influence in support of all good and.
against every evil, you will pardon me for
what | may say. Though man fo-sake the,
way of righteousness, cease to pray, and turns
away from the true and living God, Heaven.
grant that aoomGn at least, may still listen
to what christianity teaches, still aspire to-
what Heaven approves, and ever spend her
feeble energies in sustaining social order and
promoting public virtue.
Much has already been said and something
done in reference to distilleries, both IN, and
out of the Convention but as yet little eff
fectaal good has been accomplished. Now,
without meaning to offer any indignity to
the wisdom and sagacity of our authorities,
[ would ask if there is not something about
a distillery that might be of service to th,
army? Would not the stills make cannon ?
Then, would it not be better for the govern
ment to make a cali for the stills than for
the Church Bells
The majority of the people of the South
have contributed liberal donations for the
support of the war, and still manifest willing
dispositions to do all they can still there i
a class, composed of distillers, that has im-
peded more than advanced our success il.
this great struggle for independence Surely
they would not be unwilling to. make thi
slight reparation of the great wrong they
have committed. It will be converting al,
engine of destruction to our army, into al,
effective weapon of strength against the enc
my. 1t will be the grand means of drying.
perhaps, forever, the stream whose fraudu
lent waters have filled the earth with mise
~, clothed humanity in mourning, covere..
the soul with guilt, and brought down th
curse and wrath of Heaven. Will it b
done? Will not some one recommend this
20 the Convention as a means of augmen
ting our arms, and Of saving our land-our
sunny land, from the ravages of an insolen.
Toe MARY.

Col. R G.. Hills Brigade, $500 men started
Ior Golasboro, last week. Col. Hill has the
fearless dash and true metal of a SO dier about
him and will give a good account of himself
whenever heard from.
Col. Daniels Division started for the same
point on Friday or Saturday last. This di.
vision carries about the same number of bav-
onets as Col. Hills Brigade and has learned
now to use them, and the gallant Colonel
knows when to order their application and
will do it. a"u
Col. Singletary's Brigade is also en- route
Tor Goldsboro', and the name of the Colonel
Is the very synonyme of dash and galantrv.
This Brigade Is equal if not superior to the.
others IN point of numbers and will stand as q
wall between our country and its invaders.
The entire Division now enroute for the
points threatened, numbering r. 600 moreor
less, having been thoroughly Organized and
drilled by ColoEels Hill and Sing7etary. from
the school of the soldier to the eyolutions of
the time, line and make its mark on the enc.
my whom it is eager to meet.
A force equal to this in point of number
if not in discipline, is rapidly completing it's
equipment, and will join the FIRST division in
the course ola few days, or as soon as emer.
gencies require.
Besides these forces now ready for the field,
the Camp of instruction hear Raleigh IS
teeming with soldiers belonging to the several
unorganized regiments now in process OF
formation there ; besides the new companies
formed for the purpose ofjoining the reorgan.
lied regiments of twelve mouths volunteers.
now organized for the war.
Large cargoes of arms are being received
at this point and at Salisbury, from Confed
crate ports. 1t is thought that the supply a
the latter place will be sufficient for the arma
ment of the troops now present, and WHO vii
rendezvous there.
In addition to these supplies, the Arsena
at Fayetteville is turning outs limited suppl,
OF arms of a very superior quality, but tn
peculiar inconvenience ofthe Arsenal render
it impracticable to manufacture more arm
than those necessary for our sharpshooters
A vast number of arms are being manu-
factured at various towns, within the limit
of this State, the exact location of which. i
would be imprudent to mention State Jou1

THE VERY LATEST NEWS.

By the last Richmond papers we have son
additional interesting particulars concerniR.
the recent battles near Williamsburg.
In the battle on the 9Th, we captured 500
prisoners and nine pieces of artillery. The
carnage on the field on both sides was terri
BILE. The fairest and most intelligent state
ments within our reach (says the Examiner)
make our loss in killed, wounded and miss
ing, at about 1900; and that of the enemy
at quite 1000. The 18th North Carolina
Regiment, under Col. Scales, is spoken of as
having fought with great courage and persis-
tent bravery. 1t suffered severely. We saw
Capt. Irving. of one of the Caswell compa-
MES, at the Depot on Friday evening. HIS
wound, We are gald to say, is not danger
Gus.
An official letter from Gen. Johnston, dateei
Barhamsville, May Z, II o'clock, A. NJ, says
the Feds. were landing at West Point under
cover Of their gunboats; and that the re-
pulse of the enemy at Williamsburg, seems
to have stopped their progress in that direc-
ton altogether. He says nothing of the ex-
tent of the casualties on either side.
The action of the 7th is said to have oe-
Cured between New Kent Court House and
West Point. We are reported to have driv-
en- the enemy back after they had assaulted
III pOSiblOil uiO . tlIO VII
wing them to the cover of their gunboats aud
taking two hundred and fifty prisoners. The
troops engaged on our side were of Gen.
Writings division, in which there are sever
al of our Regiments-so that North Carolina
bore a gallant part in both these important
engagements.
The rout of the enemy is said to have been
complete, and to have been so utterly pressed
by our troops that many of them were driv-
en- into the river and drowned.
Our officers and soldiers are in the highest
spirits and confident of success. This fact
alone is worth fifty thousand men. Gen.
Johnston is experimenting every movement
and commanding in person.
There is a rumor here that Gen. Prices
left wing of Beauregard's army at Corinth,
has had an engagement and repulsed the
enemy with great slaughter.
The Yankee feet have appeared off Fort
Morgan and is moving onward to an attack
on Mobile. The Yankee boats are recon-
noitering the river and coast batteries Gefen-
ding Savannah.
Many rumors are afloat, but as they are
not confirmed by any positive information
we forbear to mention them, except simply
to state that one of them is to the effec
that Nashville has been re-taken by oul
troops. We fear the rumor is not true.
.Our batteties at Days Neck, Isle of Wight
Va, was attacked on the 9Th by three gun
boats and silenced.
A dispatch from Richmond in the Char
lotte Bulletin of the 10th, says the city i
greatly excited in consequence of reports tina
more fighting has occurred on the Peninsula

DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE COUNTRY. WI
publish herewith a recent proclamation of ths
:Es@siuenJ, appointing rffoay, TIc i0tn INST
as q day ofprayer for our country In this hou
of peril. Most appropriately is this call is
sued at this time, and in most appropriat
language does our honored and trusted chic
magistrate invoke the applications of thu
whole people, that Almighty God will vouch
safe His blessing on our cause. On forme;
occasions similar calls have been obeyed Will
singular unanimity and earnestness but new
er have we been called to humble ourselves
in prayer to God under circumstances so sol
emn as those which now exists. Let the day b
observed, anu in that spirit of sincere contri-
ton and humble confidence without which j 4
is impossible to please God.
Proclamation-By the President.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATE
OF AMERICA.
An enemy, waging war in a manner viola
tive of the usages of civilized nations, ha
invaded our country. With presumptuom
reliance on superior numbers, he has declar
ed bis purpose to reduce US to submission
/ We struggle to preserve our birth right OF
4 constitutional freedom. Our trust is in the
Justice of our cause and the p election of oui
God. Recent disaster has spread gloom evel
the land, and sorrow sits at the hearth-stones
of our countrymen but a people conscious
of recitude and faithfully relying on their
Father in Heaven may be cast down, but can
not be d%ismayed. They may mourn the loss
of the martyrs whose lines have been sacri-
feed in their defence, but thty receive the
dispensation of Divine Providence with nun.
BILE submission and reverent faith. And now
that our hosts are again going forth to bat
tie, and loving hearts at home are filled with
anxious solicitude for thei, safety, il is meet
that the whole people should turn implo
ringly to their Almighty Father and beseech
His all powerful protection.
To thise end therefore, |, JEFFERSON DA.
Wis, President of the Confederate States oil
America, do issue this my proclamation, invi.
ting all the people to unite, at their several
places of worship, on Friday, the 18th day Of
the present month of May, in humble suppl
cation to Almighty God, that He will vouchsafe
His blessing on our beloved country that He
will stregthen and protect our armies that
He will watch over and preserve our people
from the evil Vaccinations of our enemies
and that He will in His own good time, restore
to US the blessings ofpeace and security under
His sheltering care.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
Confederate States at Richmond, on the Sd
day of May, A. d., 1862.

A WOMAN WHO WAS DETERMINED TO FIGHT.
soldier in camp, at Kinston informs us of
a novel incident which occurred there
recently. A short time ago some recruits
were brought into campsfor a company from
Caldwell county, among them was a man
named Blaylow, who was drafted in Caldwell.
Week before last Blaylow got a discharge,
and Immediately another soldier applied for a
discharge, stating that he Cor she) was the
lawful wife OF Blaylow. It appears that when
Blaylow was drafted his wife cut her hair off.
put on mems clothing, and went with him in
to cam and enlisted for the war. She drill.
ed with the company and was learning fast,
when it became necessary to make her sex
known in order to accompany her husband
home. The boys were sorry to part with
such a good soldier, but they are unable to
determine which she loved best, Blaylow or
the ~Confederacy but it was unanimously vo-
ted that Mrs. Blaylow is " some punkins."-

RIGHT.-A correspondent of the Savannah
Republican, writing from Memphis, says:
ut is currently reported that Gen. Crit
tenden has resigned his position in the army.
He and Gen. Carroll, of this city, were sus-

Hardee, in consequence of their imtemper-
ance and it is supposed that Gen. Crittenden
sent 10 his resignation in consequence of this
| proceeding. Gen. Carroll was attached to
Gen. C.'s command. The whole country will
approve of the course pursued by Gen. Har-
dee, while no sober man will regret that Crit
tenden has left the army. He is one of the

are such as to render him wholly unfit to

CivIL AND MILITARY SERvIcE.-The Rich
mond Enquirer understands that an order has
been made by the president, to be. observed
in all the Del apartments in civil service, tina
no future appointments shall be made of any
citizen between the ages OF eighteen and thir
ty-five, who is able to perform military duty
The country will applaud such a step.
WAR ON THE CONFEDERATE CURRENcY.-H,
who seeks to depreciate the notes issued b,
the Confederate Government, is a public enc.
my, (says thesAugusta Constitutionalist. an,
should at least be watched with SUSPICION
not punished as a criminal. The credit O
a Government with its own people is as vita
to its liberty as the strength of its armies
To stop the one is as fatal to the public welfar
as to defeat the other. No man who deliber
ately does an act among us, the effect of whic
is to impair public confidence in the issue
of the Government, and thereby in its abilit,
to meet fully at the end of the war all il
financial engagements, can be viewed in an
other light than as disafected to its caus,
or as so utterly dead to the instincts
patriotism as to be willing to increase i
endorsements in order to make money OF
of them. 1t should be the pleasure. as it
the duty of every loyal son of the South,
strengthen the financial arm of the Geverr
ment.-Ckarleston Courier.
