Re-RnIissnnenss.

The Richmond Dispatch states that lalge
majority Of the soldiers composing the "Stone-
Walr' brigade, have re-enlisted for the war, and
have, with unfinching patriotism, determined to
stand by their arms until the vile invaders are
driven from the soil which they are now poi
luting with their presence. Nothing less could
have been expected CT the soldiers commanded
by the indo itable jackson, whom they have
followed through all the tolls and trials Of the
war thus far, and whom they are resolved to fol
low until peace, with its rich blessings shall
give them an honorable discharge
The same psper also states that the eight
twelve months companies of the 9th Louisiana
regiment have re-enlisted for the war. AT the
expiration Of their term of service, both officers
and men viii 60 in again on an equal footing;
afterwards the election viii be held. When this
regiment first came to Virginia, there were but
two companies IN it to serve for the war.
The Hour AND THE LEssox.-The disaster
which has recently befalen our arms, says the
Charleston Courier, notifying as it must be to
national pride, has proved a blessingin disguise
It bas reused the people, lit mp the torches Of
patriotism as they used to burn in the oldrevo-
luton. inspired our soldiers with desire to
avenge the losses we have sustained, and has
impaired a desperate earnestness to every man,
woman and child capable of appTeciating the
condition of affairs in the continued maintain
ance Of the terrible contest in which we are en-
gagged We should, therefore, be far from
dependency. Fifteen or twenty thousand
Yankees. landed anywhere upon the coast un-
defended by a corresponding number, and sup
ported by a feet Of gunbOats, must succeed in
getting possession. 1t would be idle to expect
otherwise, and imbecile to be bediscoursged by the
fact. Our true policy is to prevent such super
fetal successes from rePsying their cost. Keep
the enemy where they are. Contest their advance
into the interior step by step. Fight them any
how and with every wespon-by the torch, the
bayonet, the powder train and rife, anchor
them down in their first footsteps upon the soil.
We discover already influences at work in the
minds of the people, which promises rich trui-
ton, and we at last begin to appreciate the ne
eessity of raising every hand, employing every
faculty, and developing every resource that can
be Of use in beating back the angry wave Of in
vasion rolling upon Us.
PKEs.-The Atlanta Coatsdsraeg, Of the 23d,
says that Gov Brown, of Georgia, has issued
an address to the mechanics of that State,
calling upon them in the name of our country
welfare, 10 make pixies and huge side knives to
arm ten thousand men with next month a
pattern of such as be wants can be had on ap-
pHcation to the ordnance Office at Alilledgeville
The same paper remarks that this =" is what we
have long wanted. We almost wish every mus
ket in the Coufedsracy was in the bottom Of the
ocean and no chance to get any more
Is IT so THE northern account Of the enc
my's gunbost raid up the Tennessee river is pub
lished in the northern papers. We extract the
following, and asks IS Il so Will cur cotem-
porary Of the Florence Gazette answer
The people of Florence were so delighted to
find the stars and stripes once more their Protec-
ton, that they prepared to givea ball to the Off
cers of the gunboats, but they could not remain
to accept the courtesies.
We believe the whole statement to be slsnder-
Gus and unflunded otherwise we would, ere this,
have heard of few cases Of hanging in North
Alabama.
IMPORTANT ORDER.-The Savannah Repl,5-
Iioqn Of the 2lst says: eve received last night
the following geographic communication, which
is al very wei when the public is so deeply
absorbed in the events Of the day and are look
ing solely to the press as their means Of infor-
nation ="
