HOUsE-BURNING-The kitchen of David

WAS set Oh fire one night last week, by an inccn-
diary, and burnt with all the meat, meal and other
provisions which Mr. Day had to support his

ROBBERY IN THE CoBNTY.-The store of Mr.
v. S. Cason, at the crossroads between this and
Taylnrsrlle, was broken open and robbed of sev-
eral hundred dollars worth of groceries and other
merchandise, at night, recently. The thieves
hung Mr. Casons dog, that was locked up in the
store, and wrote on piece of paper, that they
would have served Mir e. likewise, had he made
his appearance to interrupt them. The public
should keep sharp look out for desperate
characters.

BEAUTIFUL WEApoN.-A few days ago we
were shown one OF nnlnber of rifles finished at
the {. S. Armory here. t is much the same in
general appearance, the L. S. rife, for some
years past made at Harper's Ferry and at Spring
field, Mass; but for certain improvements, in the
matter Of sword hayonet, Maynard primer, and
perfection of finish in all its parts, it must be
pronounced very far superior. The back hts
are set for 300 and 500 yards.
Altogether, think it the handsomest speci-

seen-refecting the greatest credit upon all con-

SPAIN AND THE CONFEDERATE STATEs-TVe
long ago pointed out in this journal that Spain aud
Brazil We're the ''natural allies" of the South, and
that policy should be SO directed as to secure
and consolidate that alliance. We are not sur!
prised to see it recently suggested by Spanish
writer that if Commissioners bad been sent 10
Spain she would, without difficulty, have recogniz-
ed our independence. If the South has had one
unmistakable friend and sympathser from the very
beginning o. her troubles it has been s. ain. We
think II was due to that generous and chivairous
people, as we'll 10 >elves, to have sent re-
personalities to the Spanish Court, and thereby
to have laid broad aud distinct the Foundation of
close and permanent anty with that empire. 1t
is not perhaps, tate to rectify an ON ssion
which was certainly not dictated by any want of
courtesy to Spain, any more than to any other of
the powerful empires to which we have not sent

ALLEGED SOUTHERN PRoCLIVITIES
OF THE BALTIMORE CLERGY.

The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
"Tribune," thus writes upon what be terms the
prevalence of the Secession Virus"
Baltimore, Jan. 22.-There is no doubt that
the condition of this city is deplorable The
amount of secession corruption IN the social veins
is vast aud by no means decreasing; and II will be
sure to have another eruption before the thing is
done with. Nearly every Methodist preacher in
the city is secessionist; every Baptist preacher,
with single exception is said to be sympath zer
with treason; large proportion Of the Presbyter-
ians also; while, strange to say the ministers OF
the Episcopal Church are all loyal (their congrega
tions being generally disloyal.) DR. A Z. Coke
and Bishop Nottingham have severe task in
stemming this tide They have been very brave
about it. DR.. Coke refused to give his cengrega
ton the communion a few weeks ago, declaring
that he had heard of things indicating spirit un-
worthy to participate in that sacrament. So lie
accommodated them .for ,chite.
Even the somewhat windy and vapid youth who
fills the place once so worthily occupied by Dr.
Burnap, in the First Unitarian Church, took palms.
on one occasion, to pray for the Governor and
Mayor, and leave out the President. He is from
somewhere around Boston Now all this means some
thing 1t means that there island must be never
ceasing social influence bearing upon the Unionists
and the wavering, very dangerous to the authority
of the Government in that quarter. Few have
any idea of how largely in the majority the seces-
sionists are both in numbers and wealth.
Nearly all the leading families here are intimately
related and connected with prominent families in
Eastern Virginia. The wife of DIR. Thomas, now
in Fort Warren, has brother, Douglas Gordon, in
the Legislature at Richmond, who is worth several
millionsmost of which, it is said, he has deposit
ted safely in New York Or Europe The Bartons,
Braxtons, &c, of Eastern Virginia, all repres
ented here. The aim now is to ostracise as beneath
the upper ten,' all who synpathze with the
Union and they certainly have succeeded in pro-
ducing many painful divisions"

YANKEE INHUMAN1TY.-For the last six
months Yankee prisoners of war have been in oul
hands; many Of them sick, many horribly wounded
Our surgeons have attended them with an
assduity and humanity characteristic of that
noble profession. Out Of the scant medical stores
of the Southern Couiederacy they have rec lived
what was needed IN common with our own
invalids And yet we find that still the Yankee
Government, with its usua. refinement of cruelty
declare medicines and instruments of surgery con-
traband of war.

is but one instance of such an act, and then the

correspondent of the n York Herald writes:
WAsHISGTos, Feb IA sudden and sad
dening change has come upon popular opinion 10
regard to the aspect of our foreign relations.
Notwithstanding the pacific tone of the public
dispatches of the British Minister, in regard to
the conclusion of the Treat affair, the impression
is gaining ground in political circles here that it
is the purpose Of England to find some pretext to
engage in hostilities against the Government
while We are occupied already with one gigantic
enterprise that severely -taxes the energies and
resources of the loyal States. 1t was stated in
this correspondence two weeks ago. that we'll IN
formed foreign correspondents had unequivocally
expressed the opinion that unless some decisive
demonstration Of the power of the Government
to crush the rebellion should be made within sixty
days, there would be great danger of movement
on the part Of the English Cabinet to recognize
the independence of the Southern Confederacy.
The recent Intelligence from Europe is construed
to confirm this statement and many here, who are
not of the con to Richmond school," appre-
hensive that the utmost possible expedition la the
conduct of the war will not avert this danger.
Seward has ordered the discharge from Fort
Lafayette of all persons confined there for violat-
ing the blockade and has placed the rebel priva-
teersmen on the same footing prisoners of war.
He has had them removed from Jail to military
prisons, to be regularly exchanged for Yankee
prisoners now in the South.

IMPREssMENT OF SALTPETRE-A Lesson for
Nouopohsts-Th following order, just issued
from the War Department, explains itself While
it is subject of reglet that avarice among our
own citizens should render such step necessary,
we cannot repress feeling of qualification this
prompt nction of the authorities; and it is to be
hoped that monopolists and extortioners generally
will derive moral benefit from the lesson:
Confederate States of America War Department,
Richmond, Feb 4, 1862.
Bands of spectators have combined to mono
police all the saltpetre to be found in the country
and thus force from the Government exorbiant
prices for article Indispensable to the national
defence.
The Department has hitherto paid prices equal
to four times the usual peace rates, in order to
avoid recourse to imprcssment: if possible. This
policy has only served to cuIboden the spectators
to fresh exactions.
1t is now ordered that all military commanders
in the Confederate States impress all saltpetre
or hereafter to be found within their Districts ex-
cept such as is in the hands of the original manu-
tacturer Of Government agents and contractors,
paying therefor forty cents per pound, and no
more. The price fixed is the highest rate at which
contracts have been made, and leaves very large
profits to the manufacturers.
