NECKRRURG.

Notwithstanding this city is a point of special
interest, we find it extremely difficult to obtain
information eiTcumstantisl enough upon which
to express an opinion as to the exact state Of
affairs That the army and citizens, without
exception, continue to bid defiance tc the enemy,
is understood, as well as that the enemy are
exhibiting a ca-utiousness not characteristic in
their movements when supported by their gun
boats
Three Of the ~gunboats aad two transports left
the feet bound down, on the 18th. 1t Is SUP
posed the object was to land the troops at some
point under cover Of the war vessels. The
Citizen, however, Doubts whether they viii land.
and says: The fact that they are known to be
ct work on tho timber n the bayou near War
renton, gives rise to tho belief that they are
preparing 3 landing place for tho troops from
their transports We don't think that they
intend to effect landing at all. They are too
well aware Of our power to destroy their force
on land, and we don't believe that they will
venture on the experiment"
We give elsewhere an account of the euemy's
operations on the evening of the 26th On Tues
day, heavy csnnOnsding was heard at the city
in the direction Of WsrrentOn and as it could
be seen that il did not proceed from the feet,
it was thought a land skirmish was in progress.
The Citizen also announces that the rumor of
the Yankees being at work in clearing out the
timber IN Big Bayou, fer the purpose of landing
troops is all a hoax. There is neither OK nor
saw at work in that vicinity.
1t was reported that a section of cur light ar.
tillery has worked its way down tbs river to the
vicinity Of Grand Cult, and that two Of the
Ysnk 9 transports with troops aboard were sunk

LIKE RRECKs.s

In one Of the late issues of the Louisville
Journal, among its more decent paragraphs, it
SAYS that the southern cities are falling before
the armies Of the North ike sEow of bricks"
Unconsciously, the " learned pundit has hat the
nail upon the head. We are q row Of bricks -
bricks in the Yankee Interpretation of the
term, against which the North has been butting
its head for the last fourteen months A sore
pate and a billion dollar poultiee is the result
Oae or two Of these " bricks have fallen from
their foundation it is true, but they nave fallen
ike bricks, snd they VIII never sgsin take
ther place in tho old Federal edi6ce. No Lin
coin mortar will hereafter induTste On their
surface, though Lincoln mortar" may dash
them in a thousand pieces.
We would further remind the doughty PREM
TrcE that when the " bricks are down we have
a Stone Wall" at his disposal. Probably he
has hesrd Of the Institution within a few days,
IN connection with certain "Bsnk-slide, which
recently
Dissolved like the baseleas fabric Of a vision,
And left q wreck behind"
The people Of the South have a BEAU-REGARD
for then came, on which they BRAGG. They
know that eternal vigilance is the PRICE of
liberty, - aud as long as their HARDEE spirit en-
dures, viii continue to POLK fight at the Yankee
Huns " from EARLY dorm to dewy eve.'

The DESTRUCTION OF THE VIRGINIA
BeOrge Wright and William T. Clark, pilots of
the late Confederate States steamer Virginia,
request a suspension of public opinion as to the
statements respecting themselves, which appear,
ed Monday morning in the published official
report of Commodore Tatnsll, detailing the loss
Of that invaluable steamer. The pilots state
that the investigation, which will doubtless be
had in q few days, viii put the matter in its pro-
per light.
In this connection, says the Petersburg En-
press, we may add that evidences, which cannot
be doubted, reach Us daily of the terror which
the Virginia created with the entire Yankee feet.
The enemy themselves being the witnesses, she
could have passed Old Point and captured every
vessel in Chesapeake Bay or York river without
resistance. What hope can a people have, when
such az engine of warfare is want0nly Destroyed

The Yankees Find OuI the Spirit CT the
southern People.

A letter from Gen. Mitcbel's (FederaD divis-
ion, at Huntsville, Alabama, to the Cincinnati
Times, says
The white inhabitants Of this part of tue c5un-
try are the most rampant and vicious secession
lists ever met with, They viii hardly speak to
an officer when they meet him, but look side
ways, lest they might inhale his Yankee "
breath No matter what the nation, creed, or
color Of a man, if he is for the Union, he is a
Yankee The ladies-save the mark-ars more
vicious, fierce and rampant than the men.
An instance 4 few days ago, Major Moore,
of the Tenth Ohio, seeing two women, whom ha
supposed to be ladies, enter q carriage, and lind
ing it difficult to close, stepped CALAMITY forward
for the purpose Of closing the door when one Of
the termagants put forth her hsnd and pushed
the door most violently The major looked
crest fallen for a moment, and after a pause,
said Excuse me. 1 thought you were ladies'
This brought the crimson 10 the cheeks Of tho
she devil, bur she.s8id nothing
Another correspondent, writing from Column

This place is rotten rancid with treason. I
am told it IS regarded as tho ~staunchest sscesh
population in the State. Very likely. Il is

The southern News a. Told a, HE Nor,b

The Southern News aa Told IA tke EoYIh.
1t would appear that there Is no degradation
to which Northern tTescherY would not stoop 10
accomplish its end. A few months ago the
courtesy of g flag of truce between Norfolk and
Old Point gave Wool, the commandment at For
tress Monroe, the privilege of looking over and
perusing the Southern papers. Theides of erect
ing & press at the fort for the reproduction of
such extracts as proved congenial to the North,
and the suppression OF the opposite ones, imme-
diRtely suggested itself to the commandant.
Recently, we believe as late as the 18th of April,
the writer had occasion TO compare a copy of the
New York Herald of 2 subsequent date. con-
tanning Southern extracts from the Norfolk DGg
Book, with a copyOf the Day Book of same date.
The curtailment and peTversion OF the extracts
were, n several important instances, glsring.
and the context entirely left out Italics were
freely and artfully introduced where none were
intended by the writer Of the original para
graphs. The reporter Of the associated press at
Baltimore receives such extracts daily upon the
arrival Of every boat from Old Point. and the
same are duly telegraphed TO the North for its
edification and stimulation 10 the unholy contest.
The forgery can be discovered by the tagged
aud irregular form Of the paper upon which the
extracts are printed.
The people of Baltimore understand the deoep-
ton, and place no dependence upon the lying
extracts. Injury has been done to the southern
cause in the extreme North by means of such ly-
ing receptions. The people there are without
any medium of communication with the South
except through the papers, But the cause is not
to Be lost or INDICATED By such agencies, aud
it is almost idle to ~reiterate them. Let them
pass.
The reporters of the Bs timore press are all ex-
cluded from the boats from Old Point, which ar
rive every morning, but the chsmbermsids and
soldiers on board occasionally manage to secure
q copy of Richmond or Norfolk paper, which
brings a high premium at the newspaper offices,
so anxious are tho press to secure a genuine re
cord Of southern news.-RichmOnd Examiner.

CHARLESTON.

1t would seem from our meagre Geographic
report, that the enemy have commenced active
movements by land in the vicinity Of Charleston.
Their object probably is to invest that city or
Savannah with a land force. II so we cannot
doubt the result 1t is generally understood
thst both cities are defended by forces adequate
70 repel any invasioa.
