Stewart county volunteers, raised by Capt LOoH-
HART. has been named the Harding Browns" as a
compliment to Gen. ". G. HARDING AID and Gov.
MILL S Brown, members OF the State Military and
Financial Board. This is q weIdeserved compli-

gentlemen because of the energy they have ex,

conflict.
The Chicago Tribune, grun-bling at the inactivity

Mr.. Dickinson on the Crisis.

Last evening the Hon. Daniel S.
Dickinson delivered an address at the
Smithsonian Institution on the perils and
hopes of our country. During the address,
he spoke as follows: sWe- must strike
hardest where it is weakest. While we
stand up for and upon the Constitution,
we should confscate all the property of
misunderstanding its persons held to
seryice--total, absolute, Immediately, and
employ them in the camps; feed, clothe
and protect them, and leave it to Congress
to make such disposition of them as hui
manity and the nature of the case demand.
He held further: All governments claim
perpetuity; and to preserve government
every power may be used-eyen to despo-
tism. Constitutions do not
make governments; governments make
constitutions. The habeas corpus act must
yield to the terrible exigencies Of war
A free press must bow before the iron rule
of Martial law. e. "Woman bids
US to men and meet the OCCASION" and,
under all circumstances, whispers "pre-
serve the Union" The hopes of our coun-
try, notwithstanding its perils, were greater
now than ever before Washington In
tsllioercer, 1st.

An Old CaroIinian Killed in
Du arIn-

Among those slain by our forces, was
an old man, with long silvery hair pri-
cite in a South Carolina regiment
He had very fine face. His hands were
soft and fair and he appeared to have lived
the life of luxurious gentleman. The
messenger of death passed through his
heart, and be lay on the ground his mouth
open his eyes filed an expression of terror
fsarfulIy vivid even in death. A letter
was taken from his pocket which bore
traces of blood. Itwas shown to me by
a soldier. The writing was in the small
and timid characters of woman; the en-
yeIope bore the direction; "Mr. James
McFeever, Company f, Sixth regiment,
s. C. ", Manassas Junction, Va, and
the letter had been written Dec 10, 1861.
"Dear BrotheI," SO it ran. 81 take the
time this morning to write you few lines
We are all well as common. We got a
q letter from you yesterday, dated Nov.
Boyd has written home and he wants free
John Archer to cook for his mess and
Major wants pa to pay part. He is not
willing unless you say SO. You must
write as soon as you can and let us know
whether you want him or not. Pa has
not time to write, for be is about closing
out the Shannon spring and he told me
this morning to write TO you, and this
through four long pages traced with blood
most illegible.

Powder and Preaching.

The bold ParSon BrownloW Las at least
one brother in the spirit and in acts of
unfinching loyalty and Christian patriot
ism in Northern Missouri. 1t is the Rev.
Abner Russell, who formerly resided in
Erie county, N. Y. The following letter
from him has been handed to the Buffalo
Express for publication. 1t presents a
horrible picture of the condition of things
in Missouri. The dauntless courage ex-
bibited by the writer in his defiance OF the
rebels excites thrill of admiration:
MEMPHIS, Mo-, Oct. Is, 1861.
Ny DEAR BRoTHER-We are well. l
have been shot at four. times; had seven
marks upon me, made with bullets, buck
shot, &c., one bullet entered near the
backbone, passing between two ribs, and is
yet in me; one passed so near the neck
that it felt hot, taking the velvet off the
top of my coat collar; another went throgh
nv coat over the left shoulder; another
took the flesh to the bone off my big finger.
Many thought l could not live. l was
confined to my room about four weeks,
and suffered much in body, but was happy
IN the Lord all the time. You. may ask,
why did they try to kill me? because l
had said was for the Union, and opposed
to rebellion. The rebels said that was
enough TO hang any one, and if l attempt
ed 10 fill my next appointment they would
shoot me, for no man that was raised in
the north should preach in Northern Mis-
souri,. 1 told them to crack away with
their pop guns, for had rather die than
to stop preaching through fear; but l did
not think they would kill me, if they shot.
On the third day of August, some eight
miles from home, on my way to said ap-
pointment, met squad Of men, armed
with guns and big knives. They shot me
and took me back to Memphis. Col. |
Moore with his men are now in Memphis. |
l have been preaching some for them. Cy-
renius has enlisted for three years. My |
pen or tongue cannot describe the horrors
of the war in this countiy,-men fearing
to travel or stay at home The rebels lay |
in the brush and shoot at Union men as
they pass; one of our neighbors was shot
while looking for his horses, not far from
his house; others were shot near Memphis
and another was shot while in bed. They
say l must leave the State. If l do, they |
will have to kill me and take me out, for l
will not run for them. | am the only
man, perhaps, in this section, that has not
laid in the woods at nights through fear.
They may rob or kill me, but they cannot
scare me.

The Rebel Account.

We had news, at first that the battle OF
Cheat Mountain, under the lead of Gen.
Milroy was great Union victory and COM
pleted the dispertion of the Rebel forces
in that part of Virginia. Afterwards the
news was modified and ifit was moi de-
feat to our troops, it was, at least "draw"
battle. Now we get the Rebel account as
follows:
CAMP ALLEGHENY, Dec. 81, 1861.
Our boys are laughing heartily over the
Yankees published account of the battle
of Allegheny. The following passage is
really amusing: The Rebels set fire to
their camps and retreated to Staunton.
Our boys left the field in good ORDER
Why, my dear sirs, it would have done your
heart good to have seen the scoundrels
run! The road for three miles was covered
with their knapsacks, cauteens, blankets,
bats, and haversacks and the citizens from
the country bring us the news that they
were stricken with the most disgraceful
panic. The villains vented their spleen up
on an old woman living on the Greenbank
road, destroying her furniture, carrying off
provisions and breaking up her cooking
utensils. Col. johnson sent her sack of
-four and some other articles. Their troops
went back to Cheat Mountain in wild con-
fusion demarlized and dispirited. Moth
ing prevented their entire capture but the
withdrawal Of Col, ,Tallefero's brigade from
this line of operation.
We learn from our spies and from men
of North-WesternVirginia that the enemy
confess loss, killed, wounded and missing,
of over seven hundred men. Six were
found yesterday with their eyes picked out
by the crows, and many more doubtless
lie scattered through the dense forest.
