Extortioners.

The extracts below, from BorTA's Histo.
ny of tho American War, will show there
were spectators, extortioners and mono
polizers in those times as we'll as at the
present day
'There sprang up class of men who
sought to make their private advantages
out of the public distress. Dependence
or independence, liberty or no liberty
were all one to them, provided they could
fatten on the substance of the country,
while good citizens are wasting themselves
in camps, or in the discharge of the most
arduous duties; while they were devoting
to their country their time, their estates
and their very existence, these Unsuitable
robbers were plundering and sharing out,
without blush, the public fortune and
private fortunes. All private contracts
became the object of their usorious inter.
ference and nefarious gains; all army sup
plies enriched them with speculations,
and the Government often paid dearly
for that it never obtained. This public
pest grew wider every day, and it had al
ready gangrened the heart of the pub
lic.U

The Late DR. Bell.

The Memphis Appeal contains the fol-
lowing in regard to the death of DR.. Bell.
Among the killed on our side was DR..
Bell, the medical director of the .diyis.
ION, and well known in Memphis. He
was standing in the cabin Of the Mohawk.
between Gen. MCGOWAN and the cantain
of the boat. The shot passed between
the Generals legs, cutting off both lers
of DR.. Bell above the ankle, and eoino
out between the feet Of the captain.-
Amputation being necessary, was DER.
formed by DR.. Gus. Thornton; but the
shock was too great, and DR.. Bell died at
8 a. m. on Friday. III WI ~ gEF ~.

A Well Laid Plan Defeated.

We find the following in letter from
Huntsville, published in the New Orleans
Pckyuae;
| must relate to you scheme, which
for the time was kept secret, by which
the daring and dashing Capt. Margan, of
the Kentucky cavalry, came very near
"bagging" Gems. Buell., Mitchell, and
Kossuth- Bull Nelson. It seems that on
Thursday week last, Squire Ensly, very
rich man who lives on the Nolensyille
pike, five miles from Nashville, in order
to conciliate the Federals, invited these
three worthless to dine with him. Nor
gan found it out, and anxious to get a
hostage for Buekner, concealed number
OF his men in canobrake, not far off,
and stationed three sets of pickets to
watch the road, which was also guarded
by the enemy, intending toseize the three
Yankee generals on their return from
dinner. Unfortunately for the plot, two
negro women OF Ensley's passed up the
road. and discovering Morgan's pickets,
whom they knew, gave the information
to the Federal generls, who, mounting
their steeds, dashed back ut quarter
rate pace, and thus saved their bacon.

Disappointed,

In an able article, the New Orleans
Picayune exhibits the severe lessons
which the enemy has been learning from
the recent disasters he has inflicted on
the South. He has found that, for all
practical purposes, the Union element
which he confidently expected in the
South, is a myth, and that the courage
of the South rises with adversely, and
that she is ready to redouble her militia
ry forces to supply the place and avenge
the fate of those lost in the field.

Cen. Mcintosh.

Gen. Mcintosh, who was killed at the
late battle ofPea Ridge, Arkansas, isgen-
orally supposed to be Chile Mcintosh,
half-breed Creek Indian, and Baptist
minister. This is a mistake, as a friend
informs us. ''
Gen. Mcintosh is the son of Col. james
Mcintosh, of Georgia, U. s. A., who fell
in the Mexican war, and nephew to Maj.
Mcintosh, OF Savannah, almost an octo-
genarian, but who recently volunteered to
serve with Commodore Tatnall in one OF
his attacks upon the Federal blockaders.

A Problem for Stingy Men.

by boarding your money and refusing
to contribute toward the equipment of
volunteers for the war, you are paving
the way to the loss of every cent you
have in the world-money, land, negroes,
homesteads, Everything" Is it not o
good investment, even as Yankee zeal
culation," to expend third of your
wealth and thereby save the remainder?
A few thousands of dollars donated to
the soldiers Of liberty is just like putting
seed corn in the ground. Tho fruits will
be an hundred fold when we obtain an
ultimate victory over our enemies. So
says the Vicksburg Wig, and we endorse
every word that is said.

laundering,

The Federals are literally robbing the
people on the west banks of the river,
so far as they have been able to occupy
eastern Missouri. We have heard of
numerous instances In which plantations
were robbed Of every, article Of personal
property that could be of the least use
70 the Invaders and everything else was
destroyed. This is the policy that will
be pursued unless they are successfully
resisted, Let our people prepare to pro-

A Letter through the Blockade!

"A LeCter through the BLOCKADE!
The Columbus "Tmes" of the 18th
inst, says; A gentleman Of this city has
just received a letter through the block
ade, from his Liverpool correspondent,
who resided in the South over twenty
years. We are permitted to make the
following extracts from the letter, which
is dated January 81, 1862.
"To my great satisfaction, received
yesterday, your letters of December Goth:
all previous letters after November 2Sth,
have failed to reach me. No letters by
the Tampco route, have come 10 hand,
and the talk upon change is, that that
route is failure. Don't make any adj
vances on cotton, 1t will be long time
before it can be shipped, and our cotton
dealers and manufacturers look for very
low prices when the blockade is removed.
They say that the large supply from India
and other places brought to market by
our present high prices, together with
your crop now ON hand, added to the
crop, your planters will soon put in the
ground, even, II only part Of crop, will
swell the quantity to be thrown on our
markets, and produce very low prices.
Our people, almost, universally sympa-
thize with your Confederacy. We all be-
lieve that you cannot be conquered if
you are united and determined. Our
government no doubt entertains the same
view, but appears resolved to act the part
of neutrals, and thus leave you to fight it
out. Mason and Slidell arrived on the
La Plata. All England and France are
indignant at the cowardly act of blockad-
ing Charleston with stone fleet. You
have o glorious future before you. 1T
your people are true to themselves, you
will be triumphant and command the ac-
acknowledgement Of all nations" "a
