THE WAR.

The rebel gunboat J. Robb has been
captured on the Tennessee river by
the Union gunboat Tyler, April Goth.
The rebel privateer schooner Dixie,
has been captured near Georgetown,
S. c., in attempting to run the block
ade by the u. S. steamer keystone
State. She was bound to Nassau, N.
p, and loaded with cotton, spirits of
turpentine, &c. The Dixie arrived at
Philadelphia i'll charge of prize crew
on the 23d ult.
The Rappahannock is open to Fred
ericksburg. The steamer Yankee
went up the river to Fredericksburg,
April 22d, and reports that our fotil-
la have just captured seven rebel
schooners, loaded with dry goods,
medicines, and saltpetre also two
small steamers.
Fort Wright, on the Mississippi, has
not yet been taken, but will soon be
ours. Com. Foote will put that foot
in it before many days. Gen. Bragg
is in command of the fort.
Col. Gregory, of the 91st P. V, has
been appointed Provost Marshal of
Alexandria, in room of Col. Viele.
The rebels are sending all their
moveabfe ferce from Richmond and
Norfolk to Yorktown, for Gen. McClel-
Ian to capture, as we think he surely
will. $4,000 rebels passed through
Richmond one day last week for York
town. There are but few troops left
at either Richmond or Norfolk.
The overland mail to California has
been temporarily suspended, owing to
difficulties among the Indians, set on
by rebel emissaries.
The enemy at Fort Wright have
mounted 80 guns on their batteries
and have IA gunEoats, in connection,
which viii make quite respectable
addition to Com. Foote's fotilla when
he takes it in a few days.
Col. Donnelly, of tho cavalry in
Gen. Banks Division, had an engage
mcnt with the rebel cavalry near Har-
risonburg, Va, on the 22d nit. After
a short fight the rebels were routed
and Col. Donnelly took possession of
the town, and secured a large quanti-
ty of grain and forage.
The steamer De Soto left the fotilIa
on the Mississippi on the 22d ult, for
Cairo with 100 bales of cotton.

Our Country.

"Stand by the country" is the motto
of every true Union man-aye, of ev-
cry true man, the world over. Woe
unto him who boasts the land of his
nativity in her hour of sunshine, when
her star is unclouded, and her path
beautiful and bright as the gates of the
morning, but shrinks from her when
danger hexers on the horizon, and foes
lift their hands and voices against her.
The American loves his country for
the blood Of the fathers that consecrat-
ed it to freedom for the glories of it's
past and the promise of it's future :;
loves it because it is an experiment of
his own, an illustration of his feelings,
his sentiments, his hopes and his wills,
and he prays and battles for it as he
would for his home. His country is a
part, not only of a material life, eleva-
ted above the life of man in other
countries, but Of proud aspiration,
which belong to the possessors of a
young, virtuous, and prosperous ma
ton. God bless and encourage such
aspirations! And we believe he does,
and that it is only when race becomes
faithless to itself and its national veal,
that it is forsaken. While it connects
itself and its country with the further
est future, and in aspiring to triumph,
makes the destiny of self and country
inseparable, it must and will triumph.
To stand by the country, then, is
not only to stand sentry on the shores
of the Potomac, or in the Gulf of Mex
leo, nor on the ocean coast, but to push
forward, and stand by the principles
and interests which the genius of the
Republic suggests. Let the American
stand by his country, not only for what
it is, but for sohot 1t IS to be. The fu-
ture that is before it will shame the
fears and prophecies of the ti,nid, and
justify the hopes and love of the proud
est Of freemen. Stand by the Union

eW- 1t will be seen by the following, which
we cut from the New York legislative reports,
in the Com. Adv, that our neighbors of ths
51st., n. Y, are to have new flag
Mr., Orton presented a resolution to pre-
sent new flag to the 5lst regiment of New
York volunteers and said that the flag of the
regiment was the first planted on Roanoke Is-
land, and was cut up and riddied by the
balls of the rebel batteries as to be completely
useless. 81
The resolution was adopted"
: It will be about as hard matter to settle
the question, what regiment frs. planted the
flag OH Roanoke, as it was to settle the impor-
tant question which has troubled ages, as to
VINO struck Mr. William Patterson. Every
regiment so far as we can learn, that went
ashore at Roanoke, was the first to plant the
flag there. The controversy shows one thing,
and that is, that all the boys were bound to go
in and win, as they did.

BURNsnE's DIFFICULTIES AND LABoRs. A
correspondent at Newbern writing of the in
vestment of Fort Macon, by Burnside says
Considerable progress h Us been MADE in tho
preparations for the taking of Fort Macon,
which is the next most essential step in the
programme of the campaign in North Carroll
na There being no locomotive on the road
between this place and Morehead CITY, all the
siege materials have to be carried hence by
steamer, fifteen miles to the head of Slocum' s
Creek. and then hauled one mile to the rail-
road station at Havelock At the latter point
they are placed on platform and baggage cars,
and, by the aid of mules, are slowly hauled
to Carolina City, which is the head quarters of
Gen. Parke. Here there is q turnout and short
track leading to wharf en- the edge of Bogue
Sound, where the guns, mortars and ammuni-
ton are received on board of fiat boats and
conveyed across the sound to Bogue Beach, a
distance of one and half miles. When these
heavy guns and other ponderous material are
on board the fats, the labor of transporting
! them to the desired place OF operations has
but just commenced. The Sound is so shall
low that it can easily be sounded by wading
knee deep for more than half the distance
across-a narrow channel, containing only
some five or six feet at high water. interven-
ing. Having reached the opposite shore at
point four miles due west Of Fort Macon, a
"NAS SH ibuSL Oc CTOSSeO, IN WHICH the
wheels OF artillery carriages sink to the hub
and when the obstacle has been overcome,
continuous line Of sandy knolls is reached ex-
tending to the fort. These sand-hills are
covered with stunted growth of bush and
briar, in which the wheels sink to the axle.
and requiring very great force to move the
massive loads. | mention these matters for
the purpose of explaining - if explanation
should be necessary-the cause of any delay
that may occur in the reduction of the fort, a
result which is only the work of time 1t is
certain that no important movement will be
made until Beaufort is open to the entrance of
our ships. With this accomplished, and with
two or three good locomotives placed on the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, opera
tions will go on swirnmingly. The importance
of this line of communication with the interi-
or makes the rebels desperate in their efforts
to retain it.
We copy the above from the Philadelphia
Ledger to show to Carolinians the difficulties
and labors of Gen. Burnside in carrying on
the reduction of Fort Macon and also to
show his indomitable pluck and energy in car
rying out the business entrusted to his charge
Fort Macon is now ours.

that did not have to succumb to l,is
superior logic.
The Judges wife, a fair naatronly-
looking woman, sat near him, engaged
in knitting pair of warm wooIlen
socks for the Judges use ; for IN those
days it was not questionable to be
seen knitting or sewing, brewing or
baking, as it is in these latter degener-
ate days. Women live for something
except fashion, nor was it q disgrace
to be seen doing their own work.
The Judge read on = his wife's
needles made music for her ears; the
gray cat purred loudly on the rug at
her feet; the great watchdog stretched
himself and moved a little farther
back from the fire J.; the red sparks few
up the wide chimney, chasing each
other in frolicsome glee; the sober old
clock, with his face made TO resemble
the full moon, ticked loudly ina dis
tant corner of the room, telling how
fast the golden sands of Time were
running out of the crystal hour-glass
into the long-forgotten past; dark
shadows chased each other ronnd the
apartment and hid in dark corners, as
now and then the fire would blaze up
and illuminate the room in portions
where the light from the lampIellnot;
and from without came the, poices of
the night, with low, dull cadence Of
melancholy music.
" Ding, dong! ding, dong!'' came
with a loud peel from the hall door,
and the echoes from the door-bell,
rang with an energetic hand, went
chasing each other up the broad stair
way into all the hooks and crannies of
the old mansion, and at last they died
away in the attic or went ont through
the roof, as the case might be.
The Judge looked up from his book;
his wife stopped her employment for
a moment; the dog Towser raised him
self and growled the cat got up and
stretched herself; but the old clock
ticked on as unconcerned as ever.

the prospect for good fruit crops in their res
pective localities. They say that in New Eng
land, Western New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware, fruits Of all kinds prom
ises better than usual, and similar accounts
reach US from Ohio and the great West. We
may add that the fruit in this section of coun-
try is also quite promising, but it is rather
soon to predicate any very confident hopes OF
