A Voice from the Tomb.

The National Lutelligencer gives the fol.
lowing adjuration addressed to his country
men by James Madison, the "Father of the
Constitution" The original is in possession
of James G. Mcclure, of Washington
ADVICE TO MY COUNTRY.
GAS this advice, if ever it see the light
will not do SO till l am no more, it may be
considered as issuing from the tomb, where
truth alone can be respected, and the happi.
ness OF man alone consulted. 1t will be
entitled therefore, to whatever weight can
be derived from good intentions, and from
the experience of one who has served his
country in various stations through period
of forty years; who espoused in his youth,
ard adhered though his life, to the cause of
its liberty; and who has borne a part in
most of transactions which will constitute
epochs of its destiny.
"The advice nearest to my heart and deep.
est in my convictinos, is that the Union of
these States be cherished and perpetasated.
Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a
Pandora with her box opened, and the dis
guised one as the serpent creeping with his
deadly wiles into Paradise"
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1862-01-31
The Situation on the South Carolina
SeabOard.

The Charleston correspondent of the
Richmond Eramaner, writing under date OF
January 9Th, gives the following as "the
situation" on the seabcard:
All accounts seem to agree as to the fact
that the Yankee gunboats are admirably
managed. They range at will up and down
the little bayous of the coast, and their
rihed guns are always served with great pre-
cision. 1t was probably the consideration
of this great advantage, which the enemy
possess, that has induced General Lee to fall
back from the chOre line of the main, and
to chose his position for final stand about
three miles from the Coosa River. The
position of the hostile force at this
time may be briefly stated, as follows:
The enemy, by means of bis gunboats, holds
command of Brand silver and St. Helena
Sound, with all the intervening islands.
His troops also occupy the main land jos.
opposite to Port Royal ferry. and can now
possess themselves, whenever they please, of
the rest of the main shore opposite to Port
Royal Island, making, in all, tract OF
about six males long, and half mile wide,
Immediately bordering on the Coosa river.
This tract has been abandoned altogether by
the confederate forces, which have recedsd
about three miles toward the railroad. leav.
ing strip of rice lands, averaging two
miles in width, separating them from the
positions yielded to the enemy. These rice
fields have been oil flowed" or inundassd,
by military authority, so that there are now
snsy few military roads by which the
