Richmond News and Gossip.

The Richmond correspondent of the

South Carolina officer lately from the
peninsula chat the IS or so Yankees
killed at Lees Mill, were left unburied by
their friends. The wounded lay partly on
the ground and partly in the water for
two days, appealing piteously to our men
for assistance, which could not be render
ed, because of the Yankee sharp-shooters
who picked off every man who attempted
to succor the poor wretches. A few OF
the Yankee wounded were able to crawl
into our lines, and so saved themselves"
The same correspondent says that troops
in large numbers were rushing to the
point threatened by Mcdowell. Governor
Letcher had authorized the organizing oil

Confederate CURRENCY.

The Charleston Courier says, and says
truly, "if Confederate Notes are not worth
their face value, then there is not dol
lars worth of property in the Conieder-
ate States; then the whole cotton crop
of the South will be seized by the inva-
der; then Lincoln's recommendation to
his Congress will be adopted and enforc-
ed, and all the lands of Southern people
will be parcelled out among Northern
soldiers"
This is multum in poruo, and it is the
duty as well as the interest of every proper
ty holder in the South, be he banker
planter, merchant, stock holder, or own
er of property of any description, especial
~ negroes, to maintain the credit of Con-
federate currency. He who would re-
pudiate it, or, for the sake of gain, would
depreciate it face value, acts as an enemy
to the Confederacy, and does just what
the Lincoln government would pay liber-
ally for, if it could find agents in the
South to do so reasonable work. Oui
people should understand this matter, ant
when they see individuals engaged il
the business of depreciating Confederate
Notes, it would do no harm to enquir
into the motives that actuate them, and
if possible, persuade them to abandon
pursuit that does incalculable injury t,

Fall of Fort Macon.

WILMINGTON, N. C.-April 29.-Fort
Macon surrendered on Friday the 25th
inst, and not on Sunday as before stated,
after commandment from the land bat
teries of the enemy of ten and half
hours.
The batteries Of the enemy were plant
ed behind heavy sand banks. A breach
ing battery was only 100 feet distant
and mortars 400, entirely concealed
from the Fort.
The Garrison we're allowed the honors
of war-the officers retaining their side
arms. All were parolled. Seven of our
men were killed and eighteen wounded,
two of the latter MORALLY. The enemy's
loss not known.
Col. White and 155 of his command
arrived off the bar yesterday afternoon
on board the Federal gunboat, "Chippe-
wa" and were transferred to the River
steamer under flag of truce, and reach

The others were sent up the Sound from

grain and have few slaves than to other
regions; for the double reason that thew
supply q large proportionate number of
soldiers to the army, and that these re-
cruits constituted the main body of their
labourers. Add to this, that the supplies
OF the army have heretofore been drawn
chiefly from these regions, and that the
whole body of their militia have been
called into the army at seeding time, and
we at once perceived that the bottom has
been fairly knocked out of their grain
aries.
The falling off in provision supplies,
produced by the effective causes thus in
.,licated, will be supplied by the cotton
planters in employing their labour upon
grain crops. But, in order to utilize this
surplus grain of the cotton country, a
perfect system of economy must be intro
duced in the transportation of our rail-
roads. This subject calls for the exercise
of the highest practical skill and best
practical talents of the country; and the
success of our struggle will soon depend
as much upon the matter of railroad trans
portation as upon the campaigns of our
armies.

From Corinth,

CoRINTH, April 22.-Dispatches just re-
ceived here state that Gen. Buckner and
Col. Roger Hanson, who were taken pris-
oners at Fort Donelson, are to be ex-
changed for Gen. Prentiss and Col. Nc
Michael.
CoRINTH, April 26.--Dispatches just re-
ceived from Tuscumbia convey the intel
ligence that Col. Scott, of the Louisiana
Cavalry, with the two companies of Cap
tains German and Campbell, drove out
regiment of the enemy's infantry from
that place. In the fight several of the
enemy were killed and wounded, and
forty prisoners taken.
In retreating the enemy burned their
stores of provision supplies, etc. They
were pursued by the Confederates, but
with what final result is not yet known.
CoRiNTH, April 29.-The enemy have
been reinforced sufficiently to restore
their confidence, and are now advancing
upon our lines. Heavy skirmishing is
going on daily, and quite an affair occur
red to day this side of Monterey. Clear
the decks and look out for war on grand
scale!

: The Mobile papers notice the arrival
there Of second batch Of the Yankee
prisoners captured in the battle OF COR
NTH. The Mobile Tribune has the fol-
lowing account of them:
These troops are composed Of ILLINOIS

Brigadier General Prentiss and 1913 com.
missioned officers. There were severai

Manassas. They bhn5es their generals

tory. 9 ~. .-l = - - = 4
Even The prisoners are fthe saras
character as those who proceeded them.
Some of the officers are sullen and angry
and bannot conceal it. Others are gen
tlemerNin their manners, and have DIS
erection enough TO express no opinions
which areN offensive. Gen. Prentiss be-
longs to theformer class. He seems to
be impressed with the belief that no u
in durance only temporarily arnoug those
who he will soon be able to lord 1t over.
Some of the expressions which he has
made show not only that he is rude and
insolent man, bu. that heis not at all
conscious of the fact that he Is at the
mercy Of those whom Ire was fighting to
starve and subjugate. Some Of bis fell
low-officers expressed great chagrin at
his insolent manners.
These men say that they are not aboli-
tionists-that they detest those fanatics;
yet some of them declare that they are
for free speech and free labor--coupling
the two as though they were IDENTICAL.
This part of them is composed mostly OF
men of foreign birth. The more inteili-
gent give no other reasons for the war
fare than the stars and stripes, and the
glory of the Union. Others harp on the
right of using the Mississippi river, and
attribute to the blockade of that river
the low prices of their western produce
oats and corn at a few cents bushel,
and all other Of their staples at similar
low price--yielding nothing to labor, and
not worth the cost of conveying to mar
ket. Others do not know what they are
fighting for, and can give no reason for
il. Ignorance of the fundamental caus-
es of the war seems to prevail among all
of them. 1t is now, we fear, nothing but
hatred that is moving the enemy. Con-
tempt for our valor and resources started
them, and, being deceived in this respect
nothing is left but hatred to supply its
place. If these men are the kind OF
people who compose the eneny's armies
woeiul will be the day when they shall
have subjugated this country and occu-
pied its sell.

A Yankees Opinion of Fremont's
APPOINTMENT.

The Chicago Times has no very favor
able opinion OF the yankee Pathfinder. I"
1t makes the following allusion 70 his APP
pointment:
There was no very great objection to
Fremont having command of a ''moun-
tain department"-it was supposed to, be
where he could do little hurt or little
good, and if it gratified him to carry a
new feather, very well. While he il un-
doubtedly the greatest humbug that ev-
er afflicted the country, and while his ope-
ratons at st. Louis were frightfully ex-
pensiye. yet there was very general
willingness TO let the pet OF the aboli-
tionists try his hand again; and if it had
not been recently developed that his de-
partment is SO enlarged as to deprive the
dashing Rosencrantz of his command,
there would be no complaint now. As
that brave officer is superseded, who
fought the rebels out of Western Virgin
ia SO successfully. we say the whole thing
is shame and disgrace to the admin
istration.

Northern Taxes,

We invite attention TO the following
article from the Norfolk Dav Book:
The Northern people have rushed into
every kind of expense to carry on the
war of subugation, regardless OF the fu-
ture. They are issuing promises to pay
without count, as fast as their presses can
print them. The Cincinnati Times is au-
thority for saying that by the first OF the
approaching July their war debt will be
one thousand FIVE hundred millions Of
dollars; and that owing to the increased
expense of transportation in conducting
the invasion into the interior of the South,
their Secretary of War asserts that the
expense of the war is now five millions
of dollars day.
Now, to keep this tremendous bubble
afoat is their ticklish job. We learn
from letter recently received from the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, that the
screws are being applied there. The Fed
eral assessor according to this authority,
values the land or other property at what
suits him, on which the owners has to
pay tax of FIVE per cent. This appears
to include everything, land, negroes,
stocks, notes, bonds, &c. A negro is val
ued at 81 900, and his owner has to pay
tax of $50 on him, whether he is worth
that amount or worth nothing. The
land is valued far above the idea of the
owner, and tax assessed accordingly
If he don't like it, it will be sold to pay
the tax, and by this means pass into
Northern hands. This is probably the
process of confscation, after subjugation.
Whether 50 or not, we are unable to say.
The war tex don't appear to meet with
much favor, even in Delaware, as we learn
from the same source that the Federal
forces were lately withdrawn from the
Eastern Shore to 20 into Delaware. in Or
der to put down war-tax rebellion in
that State. A gentleman on the Eastern
Shore, who is not considered wealthy, is
assessed with war,tax of 81 500--possi'
bly, more than one-half of his revenue.
With this prospect staring us in the
face, what should the South not do and
suffer to avert subjugation?

Our Retreat at Corinth.

Our retreat at Corinth after two days
hard fighting, and when the enemy had
received large reinforcements, is thus
spoken of by the correspondent of the
New Orleans P;captne:
Our retreat was splendid affair. 1t
was long before the enemy were aware
that we were quitting the field. l staid
behind, attached to the Burns battery,
which garded the retreat of the army
General Beauregard rode upto the Wash
ington artillery, and lifting his cap, said
10 us: You have fought as soldiers
never fought before p" Then passing on
10 the captain, he exclaimed again, rails
ing his cap, -" You have done nobly."
The same correspondent, in some gen.
eral remarks of the incidents of the bat
tie, adds:
A battle is an awful scene. l do not
think words can rightly describe it,
Ones senses can hardly comprehend it.
The things that meet your eye after two
days of wholesale slaughter, as you walk
up the field OF battle, will never be erased
from memory.
Artillerists are exposed to peculiar per-
lis. In our case, for example, the enc
my threw out sharpshooters to pick Off
those who manned the cannon. They
lay behind logs, and shot ut us with pc
culiar powder, which makes neither noise
nor smoke, and the Mimic balls came at
MS az thick as bail, killing aud woundimg
our men and slaughtering our horses.
y \ y
From one piece of cannon we lost no less
than thirteen horses In the two days
we must have lost full thirty or forty
horses.
The second day the balls came thicker
than ever, but we tried to throw aside
self and think only of duty, SO there we
fought, varied as we were, and against
fresh reinforcements of the enemy, long
and manfully. That day we lost three OF
our pieces, and that day we recaptured
them, and brought them back drawn by
the onemys own horses. We think that
something of an exploit.
We chased the Federals out Of their
camps, which extended eight miles,
We slew their men, took their tents,
burnt up their effects what we did not
want for ourselves, captured their COM
missary stores, mules, horses, wagons
everything; and they got no peace until
they found themselves under the shelter
of their gunboats.
