IGr We receive no news here from
Sunday night till Wednesday night. In
ordinary times we do not feel, very sorely,
the inconvenience of this. Now, when
great events are transpiring, and when
we hear of rumors of battles at places
where our citizens know that many who
are dear to them must be engaged, it is
heavy suspense to suffer. Many wife
lies three long nights, haunted by The
fearful vision of husband lying neglected
on the battle field, dying Of his wounds.
And when the grateful news does come
Gf it please God so) that he is among the
safe, if finds her nerves shattered aud her
face haggard with mute agony of sus-
pense. Many mother keeps the long
vigils of the night watch in voiceless mar
tyrdom, clinging to hopes which canno'

the son who almost yesterday Git seems
was nurseliug, and praying that this
time the cup may be spared her yet.
Why can we not have daily mails from

CUMBERLAND IRoN WORKS These
works so very important TO the comfort
and business facilities If the Southern
citizens have been bur to the ground b.
the enemy.
They were the most extensive rolling
mills of the South, in which a large
amount of private capital was invested
The iron Supplied largely the agricultural
aud manufacturing wants IF the whole
Mississippi valley Ii was IT very supe-
rur quality, end fully equal to the best
swedish.
The burning Of thesc mills was base
act, aud illustrates the hypocrisy Of all the
Llauj pretersions of the Federal Generals
that they come TO protect aud not TO des
troy. The chauce 10 strike q malignant
blow at the material interests Of the Whole
Southern trade ut once, was too great a
temptation. 1t was on a par with the
stone blockade. The government had
nothing to do With those works. They
were private property. They were ell
gagged in the peaceful avocaiion Of making
iron. They sold to whoever would buy.
If the government got it they paid for it..
As well buru the store house Of every
merchant who has ever sold shoes 20 a

which actuatcd the base wretches. 1t was
the more devilish design. Of crippling tie

To THE PLANTERS US urge upon
you the patriotic duty Of planting largely
Of bresdstuffs. Corn and peas, and every
thing Useful for food that can be gathered
and garnered should be made in profusion.
Do not lose pig, or calf, or sheep that
you can avoid. Save in overy way. We
hope our fortunes are not SO dark as to
require it, but it Is q matter Of policy to
make supplies enough, if possible, for
years ahead, of all things that will keep.
Much will necessarily be destroyed this
year to prevent its falling into the hands
of the enemy. It's place will have to be
supplied from the surplusage Of those re-
gions which the enemy do not invade.
We have never acceded to the policy Of
refusing to raise cotton. But cotton
should be secondary. Much of that too
will be necessarily destroyed, and, as :hs
stocks of Europe will be clearly exhausted
by the time the blockade is raised, all We
make will bear high price. We viii
come out Of the war weakened and 10
debt. Cotton alone can be exported fol
such supplies as We may need from abroad
or for money to put US 10 condition TO dis
charge our debts. Without cotton, v,
fail Of our chief element Of strength.
BE sure ani make largely Of provisions
