Wanted..A Miracle.

1t is related Of a couple of raftsmen, taken by
he current into deep water, that one of them,
whose religious education in youth had not
been altogether neglected, proposed that they
offer up prayer 10 God for their deliverancs
from peril. The other, who knew the value of
every moments strong exertion in such Sit
uation, did not agree to the idea of giving up
| and throwing themselves upon the tender
mercies of Providence, until every earthly re-
| source had been exhausted. He asked, "What
was the use Of praying as long as you can
touch bottoms" Pretty soon the raft got-irre-
coverably into the deepest of the stream, and
the little crew at once fell to duplicating Di-
vine grace in a very earnest if not quite ortho-
dox manner Whether it was from lack Of
faith on the part of the raftsmen, or other
reason. we have no account Of the Adventures
being saved.
The Confederate cause can no longer touch
bottom 1t is adrift about TO be swallowed up
by the engulfng waves Of national patriotism,
and we observe by reports that Mr. Davis, the
Captain of the craft, has called call hands and
the cook" to prayers on Friday of the current
week. This impious recommendation, this
CONSUMPTION of the moral sentiment Of the peo-
pie of Dixie, this attempt to impress Provi-
dence into the rebel service, this violation of
the Secession Constitution, which provides
Disunion raft is doomed Burnt cotton won't
save it. The Mississippi may be sweetened
with pyramids of sugar, but the rebellion will
be crushed, even SIS the sugar is. The brine
of the Gulf may be spread over with split mo-
lasses, but that will not get the Confederacy
out of its pickle. The enemy may destroy all
the tobacco in the Old Domnion--Virginia
twist, natural leaf, fine cut and pig tsil-ahd
the rebels deprive themselves of their rations
and approximations. but the attempt to disrupt
the Union will, to use low phrase, be "chaw-
ed up" notwithstanding.
If secession impudence had not long since
ceased to be surprising, We might be astonsh-
ed at the bold assurance Of jeff. Davis and his
band Of dissenters in proposing to sue for an
alliance with Providence, offensive and defen-
sive. The recognition which, with all the arts
of Yancy, Dudley, Mann. Mason, Slidell, But
Ter, King and others. they could not get from
England or France, they now seek to obtain
from Heaven. Is Providence less conscientious
than these mundane powers in respect to an
interference to break up our glorious Union?
God forbid
One thing We notice about this reputed
ukase OF the rebel chieftsin. We fail to see in
it any reference to thanksgiving, fasting and
prayer" such as zoe sometimes have, but of
prayer only, Mr. Davis doubtless being unable
to specify what his people had reason to be
thankful for; and as to fasting, the market re-
ports from Norfolk, Petersburg and other
Southern cities are sufficiently explicit on that
head. After all Davis is right. A miracle
might save the Confederacy, as Aanking move
ment, but that is all that can, from present APP
pearance.-[St. Louis Republican.

Laurel Co., Kentucky, May 2, 1862. I
We receive nearly every day word by passing
supply trains OF how matters are going on at the
Cumberland Ford. and all the rumors current
there in regard to the doings at the Gap Every
one concurs in the statement that there is to be
tremendous fight necessary to take it, as they
have the strongest intrenchments that have vet
been occupied by the rebel troops, and are de-
termined to make 4 stand, for the occupation
Of the place by the Federas would cut off all
communication between Richmond and the srlny
of the rebels in Mississippi by the quickest and
most convenient route. Twas said that Gen
Smith, the rebel commander there, sent brag.
gadocia message to Gen. Morgan, who is com.
handing on our side, that he would defend the
place until every one of his men, and himself.
too, were numbered among the killed. Morgan
coolly replied that when he attacked the place
he would take it, or all Of his men aud himself.
too, would be numbered among the dead.
don't know much about Smiths character, but
from all accounts, Morgan means what he says
when be talks that way. It's more likely Smiths
defiant style. like Buckner's black flag, was got.
ten up merely for show, and will not, in the end
prevent an unconditional surrender.
Near the Gap, Morgan has engineers and
miners working every day, as he is trying to
plant strong battery on point that overlooks
the enemy completely, and every day there are
advances made in the work They have been
reinforced lately by the Wisconsin battery that
was sojourning in the Fair ground at Louisville
through the winter, aud as it is composed of
splendid Parrot guns, and 10 supposed to be the
best battery out here, it very likely will be the
one posted on the mountain. do not know
what other batteries are out there now, but the
following is q complete list Of the regiments
there.
For prudential reasons we omit the numera.
ton of the forces now at the Gap eszsa
There are three Brigadiers there: Generals
Morgan, Carter and Spears, and as there will be
q brigade or two more than they can manage,
there will be some chance for deserving Colonies
who aspire higher.
When reach the Ford will be better able
to give you more detailed accounts Of the pro.

Thanks to the precautions taken by Ike an;
thorites and to the good sense and unshrink-
inc patriotism Of our citizens, by whom The
authorities are efficiently supported in their sf-
.orts for the preservation Of peace and the pro-
lection of property, the city ct late hour last
night was peaceful and quiet ass country
hamlet-Aas quiet as though no extraordinary
excitement prevailed throughout the day; in
fact, it was much quieter than in ordinary
times. s ~
New Orleans, in this hour Of adversely, BY
the calm dignity she displays in the presence
Of the enemy, by the proof she gives OF her
uni1inching determination to sustain to the
uttermost the righteous cause for which she
has done so much and made such great sacrifi :
ces, by her serene endurance undismayed Of
| the evil which AFFECTS her. abiding confidence
| in the not distant coming of better and bright
er days of speedy deliverance from the enemy's
| toils--is showing bright example to her sis.
ter cities, and proving herself, in all respects
worthy of the proud reception she has ahieved.
We glory in being citizen Of this great me.

On application to Gems Juge and Maignan,
| the troops under their command, consisting Of
the European Brigade, were placed by the au
thorties in charge Of the peace Of the city last
night. They commenced their patrol about sun
down, and still maintain it, for the presel va
ton Of order, and private and public property
| The Provost Marshals suggest, in q procla
nation issued yesterday that the family gro
GERS and bakers keep open their stores and
shops as usual. This course is absolutely nee.
essary to adopt, as otherwise those dependent
upon such sources for supplies will be subject
ed to the severest suffering.
| We learn that dealers in provisions and 9TH
er necessary articles Of trade refuse in some
cases to receive Confederate money in payment
for their goods. This is very reprehsnsible,
and is the cause of no little distress to poor
people, who on the faith of the representation.
made to them by the authorities, have taken
that money, and have now no other.
During the confusion incident to the events
of yesterday license was taken by many person:
to possess themselves Of articles of private
property from the levee and the stores and
warehouses in the vicinity. The Mayor hs:
issued proclamation warning all such to re
store those articles to his Office upon penalty
of being proceeded against to the full extent o.
the law.
The Mayor of the city requests the services
Of all the order.loving and law abiding citizen:
