nc Doom I'd Chnrle.ton.

Doom" hangs over wicked Charleston.
That viper's nest and bleeding place Of rebel.
lion is, ere this time, invested by Union arms
perhaps already in our hands. If there is any
city deserving Of hOlOcaustic infamy, it is
Charleston. Should its inhabitants choose to
make its site a desert, blasted by fire, we do not
think many tears would be shed. Travellers of
to-day are quite undecided as to the locality of
| Carthage; travellers of 1852 may be in the same
doubt about Charleston.-Ne15 York Tribune,
juno 9th.
The wretch who penned the foregoing para
graph-sordid and mercinary, and hainous as he
is in soul and body-only faithfully represents
Northern sentiment in regard TO the metropolis
of glorious Carolina. Diabolical is the hatred
of all Ysnkeedom toward Charleston. The men
of the North hate the menef that city, because
in all that ~elevates ocially, politically,
morally, as merchants, mechanics, or trades
men, the latter are, and ever have been, pre-emi-
nently~ distinguished over the former for high
and honorable bearing, and have looked down
with scorn and contempt upon Yankee dupieity,
Yankee cunning, Yankee a~YaTice, Yankee bad
faith in all their pursuits.
Like the thief, who, detected in stealing, will
ever hate him to whom he owes his detection, so
is il with all Yankeedom, who recognize in the
menof South Carolina, and Of Charleston, those
who sounded the first alarm in the South, and
never ceased till 10RkeedOm stood markedly ex-
posed as the plunderers, with full and fell intent
to plumber her, so long as the South remained
part and parcel Of the "Od Union" This
feeling Of luminosity and hate of Charleston is
not confined to the men of the North. 1t per-
vades the women throughout Yankee land, and
is aggravated in them by a jealousy of the So
cial virtues Of the matr0ns and maidens of the
South, especially of Charleston. Rare, indeed,
are the exceptions of this rule of hate among
them. Hence the " doom Of Charleston . pre-
dicted and gloated over with fendish malignity,
not only by the fend Greeley, but throughout
the North. Before, however, it comes, if come
it viii, many a Northern HON will be in mourn
ing many a Northern wife viii mourn a
husband slain; many a Northern mother will
mourn a son she will see no more
And if the travellers of 1862 shall be undecided
IS to the locality of what was once Charleston,
history will ellanOther story than it does of Car
thsge-immortal viii be its fame, and the fame
of those who will be buried beneath its ruins,
ere It will be delivered to Yankee rule.
But thus far in the drama OF war Charleston
stands. Though surrounded, it is not yet in
the hands of the enemy. 1t is in the keeping of
those who know no fear, and who are ready,
whenever the enemy is, to test the truth Of the
vile prediction concerning its doom No
faint hearts are on guard there! No traitors are
within her limits No arm that viii not be
strong in defending her streets from the pollu-
ting tread Of Lincoln's hosts l-AhaHtG TRteHi-

It's due to this gentleman, as well as to cur
selves, to say that a paragraph from q Hunts
vile paper, speaking in rather dsparsging terms
Of Gen. CARROLL, found its way into our col
umns IN April last, without either Ourknowled g
or consent, and the tenor of which we totally
disspprove. BE has now been at Jackson for
something over two months, pressing an inyest-
CATION Of the changes brought against him, all o.
which have, we believe, been withdrawn, with
The exception OF one-thato of characterization.
Gen CARROLL was among the FIRST in Tennes-
see 10 spouse the cause and enter into the service
Of the Confederate States, which be did with
zeal and alaerity, and It is but just that he should
have 8 hearing and an investigation Of his case
At as early 5 day as possible, in order that be

HON. RATIIF PEYT0N. OF TENN

From the Atlanta infringement
We take great pleasure in publishing the fol.
lowing communication. It entirely relieves this
honorable and patriotic Tennesseean from the
charge Of treachery to his native South-Of de-
sorting her in an hour of trial-cOncocted at
Nashville by ANDY J%oHNsoN's base tools. The
facts embraced in the communication are
voucbed for by gentlemen of high respectable
ity. Let the press of the South, in justice to
Col. PEYToN, remove the imputation east upon
his patriotism and his fame by calling attention
to this communication. It is due to him, andtO
the memory Of his brave son who fell while gal
lanty battling for Southern independence:
Editor IntelHgencer, Atlanta, Ca:
CAsSvILLE, GA, June 23.-It having been
extensively reported and generally believed
throughout the South, that the Hon Bale Pey-
ton, Of Tennessee, had proved Iecreant to our
cause, and was IN ahiliatien with Adrew john
son, Ex-GovernOrs Campbell, Neil S. Brown, and
the infamous " crew who have yielded their
manhood, and allied their fortunes with those
who are soaking and devastating our country,
it is with great pleasure that we are able to say
to you that Bale PeytOn is not one of them,
and that he is openly and boldly with the South,
and intends to stand or fall with US.
His name having been published in connee-
ton with others, in a call for the great y Union
meeting some weeks ago, at Nashville, at
which the tory and traitor, VIM. B. Campbell
presided, land be his name accursed in all time
to GOMEZ, he has declared that bis name was sp-
pended to the call by a Mr.. George Baker,
formerly one of the editors of the Nashville
Banner, without his consent or approval, and
that he would prosecute said Baker for forgery,
if he was worth prosecuting that it would be
the most unnatural thing in the world that he
could be against the land of his birth that he
had one son who had already fallen in the war,
and that his nearest blood relations were now
engaged in the struggle, with other remarks Of
strongest character resenting the imputstion upon
his devotion and loyalty to the South.
We respectfully ask that you will give pub
licity to this note, as it will be gratifying to the
numerous friends of Col Peyton throughout the
South to be assuredthst his name is not obscured
by the dark and damnable treschery which dis
graees those who have become lickspittles and
toadies at the feet of the low, vulgar despot
who, like other dogs, is having "his day" in
Tennessee, for which there is a reckoning here
after.
We should have stated that our information is
derived from friends just from Tennessee, who
p personally know the facts as stated.
Yours, etc., TENNESSEEANS.

TIE ENEMY IN LEE COUNTY, YA-We
learn through friends who came down on yester-
DAYS train, that there WAS much excitement in
Bristol and Goodson on Tuesday, oecasioned by
the arrival Of a number of refugees from Lee
county, Va, witAtheir slaves and such effects
as they could carry with them. These refugees
report that some two hundred OF the enemy's
ca7alry were m~srauding the county, carrying off
cattle and other stock, stealing all they could,
arresting citizens, and perpetrating all manner
of outrages. We hope that Gen. Floyd, who,
we learn, is at Wytbeville, e~ndeavoring to make
up the State force which he has been assigned
to command, viii at once take the few morgan
lied troops he has got together, and take after the
~scoundrels who are pushing their raid with i'm
pumity up Powelrs Valley. If we coald
hear that Floyd, with ever five hundred men,
was on their track, we would feel easy about
that important region of Southwestern Virginia,
even though the Hessian marauders number

three wounded, and nine horses.
Capt PORTER's command, on the night be-
fore, burned sl the cotton and the water tanks at
Shelby and Wythe depOs, on the Memphis and
Ohio railroad. Our informant suggests that the
above named companies may soon be heard

the country for the purpose of hsuling cotton
into the city, should put on a very liberal tariff

ERIAhS POINT. MISS
July I, 1862.
EDITORS APPEAL: The three heavy gun
boats Of King Abe passed up last week-two on
Friday and one on Saturday. The last one (in
order to show their pluck, 1 suppOse) threw a
36-pound ball from one Of their cannon, which
passed nearly over the post Office and lodged in
a field in the rear of our town. We shave secured
the ball, which weighs $50 pounds. I have no
doubt they thought they had done a very brave
act, to fighten the women and children, of
which there are some two hundred and fifty;
some were very much terrified. We have only
about one dozen men in our toWn-mostiy too
old to go to the army. 1 learn that the same
gunboat threw a shell over the town Of Helena,
doing no injury, however. Last Sunday several
of Lincoln's gunboats and transports passed
down, on their way to Yicksburg, I suppose.
Up to 10 o'clock, say, sixteen had passed. 1
think more passed later in the night, as one got
aground just below town. They, however, sue
ceeded in getting her off late next morning.
We had soma idea of trying to capture her, had
we had a small field piece, I think we could
easily have done it, as it was not a regular gun
boat. We all hope, here, that they may meet a
warm reception at Yieksburg, as we learn that
ample arrangem ents are making to furnish them
Southern farms, to wit; sir by tloO feet.
The cut worm still continues its ravsges on
the young corn, many planters having to plant
over the third time. Respectfully, REBEL.

Mr. King presented a petition, numerous}y
signed by volunteers honorably discharged,
asking that the provision in regard to bounty,

Mr.. Wade presented a petition from citizens of
Ohio, asking for a more vigorous prosecution Of
the war.
Mr. Hale, from the naval committee, reported
back the house bill for the relief Of the Panama

ment Of $747 GOO for transportation. PASSED.
Mr.. " protested against the obnoxious
doctrine that would give despotic power to the
President He thought there was too much
lenieney toward to the property Of rebels.
Mr.. COwan said he was as much in favor of
Furnishing rebels as any one. He would only
be lenient to the Union men Of the South.
Mr.. Williams referred to the declarations of
the Union men of the South, that unless some
thing was DONE. there would be no hope for
them.
Mr.. Cochrane ssid he would put down the re-
beliOn with the whole force of the government,
and hang the guilty leaders as high as Hsman
but it is not the way to suppress the rebellion,
to pass measures obnoxious to a lloyalmen from
the border States. Hardly a day passes but
measures are introduced by a certain school,
which are calculated to make enemies instead Of
friends.
Mr.. Sumner read letters from Union men in
Tennessee in favor Of conhscation and emanci-
