from the number of drunken persons we see

BURNING CorToN.-Every paper from the
South brings us accounts Of the burning of
cotton and the destruction Of sugar in all
parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
The people are represented as cheerfully CO.
operating with the military in the process Of
burning. The stealing yankee scoundrels
will therefore fail of their object of plumber,
and Stewards promise to supply Europe with
cotton from New Orleans, and other south
ern ports, will all be fa!sifed. Not a hun
dred bales, It is believed, will fall into their
hands. The spirit of sacrifice thus cheerfully
submitted to, ought to convince Lincoln that
there is no possibility ef s~ubjugating the
South. He will yet learn that idea is one Of
the widest chimeras that ever entered a
madman's brain.

LETTER PosTAGE-The congress which has
just adjourned, passed a bill raising the rates
of postage from five to ten cents for all dis

takes effect on the 1st of July next. There

PRISONERS TO BE ExCnANGED.-We learn
that propositions have been received by the
government, through General Wool, at For
tress Monroe, for a general exchange of pris-
onerS of war. The propositions offer, as a
basis of exchange, the cartel adopted be-
tW cen the United States and Great Britain in
the var of 1912; and also offer to exchange
our privateersmen on the footing of prison.
erS OF war, the surplus remaining on either
side to be paroled without farther condition.
1t IS proposed to exchange the prisoners at
City Point, or at any other place that the
Confederate States Government NAV desig-
nate. 1t is supposed hat there is a slight
surplus of prisoners still remaining on the
side of the North. There is no doubt but
that the proposition meets the views and
wishes OF our government, and it is to be
hoped that there will be no peTfidy developed
IN the arrangement, as was sthe case in the
negotiation with General Howell Cobb some
months ago.

GROWTH OF ISrESPERANcE.-A corresPon-
dent of the Christian Observer Saj': IN
former DAYS drunkenness was comm ed
mostly to a few old topers but OF late 1t
has so completely demoralized our young
men. that in some of our counties it has been
difficult to find egen ore fit 10 be 4 husband
or Il father"
What an awful reflection. If the young
men of the country are thu. given up to IN
temperance, where, oh, where IS the nope
of the nation Fathers, can ye see and
know these things, and do nothing to rescue
your country from a degradation more ao-
palling than even that threatened by LIN
coins mercenaries Young men, are you
content to have this terrible accusation re-
corded against you. Will you not give up
the accursed, soul and body-destroylns bev-
eragq? Mothers, wives, maidens, can you
not, will you not do all You can, to bring
about a reformation among your sonS, nus
bands, brothers and lovers? In the name OF
the God Of "Temperance Righteousness and
Jud.ment to come we invoke our Rulers,
our men of influence, yea, every man VINO
loves his country and his kind, to do some
thing to stay the ravages of the destroyer,

envy, we fad our nation composed of drunk
ards, who are to be our lawmakers, our

would assuledly befall this Southern !,
and that in "a very short time. We have

years. Shall it always be in vain

from the Richmond Examiner:
The man who, by word or act, by inadver-
lance or direct effort, brings discredlt upon
D Confederate money, wounds the Southern
n cause in a vital part and is, in fact, if not in
If intention, doing the work ofthe traitor He
takes bread from the mouth OF the army by
imparing the ability Of the Government to
provide for its subsistence. He denies the
Y. soldier the luxury of a way side meal, which
the Confederate money in his pocket would
procure him. He strips the wife and chill
drtn at nome of the meat, bread and shelter,
which the husband and father in the army
could provide by means Of the money receiv-
ed in the service. If the Confederate mon
ey he deprecated, al the property of the
South is deprecated in Ike ratio, for there
can be no currency in the South if that should
- cease to be.
r We know of one or two men in this State,

%tofore, VITO have refused to take Confederate
re money. Ii shall be remembered against then
