The NAME OF SHlLoH.-As we
are not particularly versed in Biblical
names, we have felt inclined to ad-
here to to the spelling Of Webster in
this matter. We noticed some Of our
exchanges spell the name of the late
great battle Shilo, while others have
it printed Shiloah. The dictionary
before It's spells and defines the name
as follows:
"SHlLoA-the name given to the
Messiah Tor CHRISTI by Joseph"
Webster.
Gen. Beauregard, in selecting the
name of the battle, has shown a keen
perception Of the spirit of our peo-
pie. If there ever was a time. that
time is the present, when the South
should, with one voice and with their
strong arm, defend the banner of the
Cross against the invader; that they
may eventually realize another inter
probation of Shiloh, as rendered by
Biblical writers-"This is place Of
rest"-"This place of Peace"
"And the whole congregation of
Israel assembled together at Shiloh,
and set up the tabernacle of the con-
gregation. And the land was sub
dued before them" Joshua ISL.

the double purpose of obtaining in
formation from the Confederate capir
tai and of crimipating Southerarsym-
pathizsrs At the North. The state
ment' Of the spies is that the whole
body Of Yankee detectives and news
collectors in Richmond had their in
|structions to communicate with Web
ster, and that he carried Off period
ically what they were able to pick
up during his absence. Thus the
Herald procured its map of our forti-
fications; thus the same journal was
enabled to give full and tolerahIv
accurate list of the officers in the
Confederate army; thus the move
ments of Gen. jackson in February
upon Bath and Hancock wal known
in Washington before he had left
Winchester, eta, etc. In all these
cases the ''milk in the cocoanut" is
fully accounted for, always supposing
that there are traitors in the depart
ments, as rumor to-day asserts the
spies to declare. We may look for
startling revelations in two or three
days, and the scaffold erected at the
Fair Ground for the two already under
condemnation may have to be en-
larsed.

FEDERAL SPIES IN RICHMOND
The Richmond correspondent of the
Memphis Appeal says:
I've spies, tried, convicted and
sentenced to death by a court-martial,
were to have been hanged here to-
day. The arrangement for the exc
cution had been fully perfected, But
last night there came a respite from
the President: The convicted men
knew more than they had, up to this
time. admitted, and seemed disposed
to give the Government the benefit
Of their knowledge. In the hope of
eliciting such information as would
lead to full discovery of the parties
who have supplied the authorities at
Washington with e6fcia1 intell gence
from Richmond, it was thought best
to postpone the hanging for time.
The testimony SO far given by the
spies is not fully known to the pub
lie; but is said to impEcate persons
in high positions, never before sus-
pected Of disloyalty. The only ar
rest Of which 1 have heard, as hav-
ing been made in consequence Of
these disclosures, is that of a man
named Webster, who. has been en-.
gagged for six or eight months past in
conducting a mail between this city
and the Northern States. Letters
sealed or unsealed, were left at the
counting room of the Richmond En-
quirer, and seventy five cents in sill

carried off in some mysterious way
ito Maryland. Persons desiring an

respondents to- direct to some stree

agents Of Webster would call.

The SKlRMlsHlNG NEAR YORKTOWN
-Narroa0 Escape Of Gen.. Magrxder
The Richmond Wing of the 9TH has
the following in reference to the Skin
mishing near Yorktown,
Matters grow interesting. After
an interval of nearly ten months. an
other battle is impending on the Pen
Ursula. A heavy force Of the enemy
landed Friday at Ship Point, a few :.
miles below Yorktown: The point
had been occupied by asmall Confed-
crate force for observation, but had
been evacuated. Nevertheless it was
duly cannonaded before the landing.
Con: Magruder, with his Staff, was at
the time at the Lee House, below the
point Of landing, and had to run a
gauntlet not entirely free from das-
ger, in getting back to Yorktown, as
was proven by the fact that one of
his Staff, Major j. b. Cary, had his
horse shot. From 10 to AZ O'Clock
Saturday. there was heavy skirmish-
ing, with very unconsiderable dam
age to u.s.. TO the enemy. it is be-
lieved to- BE- somewhat serious. Can

continued till T. NJ, but we have
no information as to the results, fur,

off damaged. The impression pre-
walls that a general engagement will
come on to-day, tomorrow, or during
the week. We have every conf
dence that the gallant Magruder will
give the invaders another Bethel les

A FUAx PAS ON THE BATTLE
F1ELD.-A correspondent of the
Memphis Appeal gives the following
account Of an unfortunate affair be-
tween Louisiana and Tennessee
troops, during the battle of Shiloh:
went into several camps and tried
to get some lists Of killed and wound
ed, but found it impossible to get
them strictly correct. The battle
field is so far from Corinth that an
other day or two must be allowed for
stragglers or wounded to report them
selves,
While engaged in that business, 1
learned from an eyewitness what l
believe to be the real cause of tho
misunderstanding which occurred on
the battlefield between some Lou
isiana and Tennessee regiments, and
induced some Of our troops to fire
into the other. Some generals aie
had brought message to the Ten
nesseeans, then in line Of battle in

Confederate Censeriptisl Law,

We append below. for the benefit
and government of our readers, the
Consumption law, recommended by
President Davis, and passed in Con-
gxess. It was autographed from Rich
mond, on the 18th inst, to the Gov
ernor Of this State, T. O. Moore:
An act has passed both Houses OF
Congress, placing in the military SER
vice of the Confederate States for
three years, or the war, all persons
between eighteen and thirty-ive
years of age, who are not legally e.
empt from military service.
All twelve months volunteers, be-
tween these ages, to serve two years
from the expiration Of their term of
enlistment, and all of them under
eighteen aud over thirty-fve. to re-
main ninety days, unless their places
are sooner supplied by recruits. The
twelve months men who have not re-
ceived bounty or furloughs are to
have them-the furloughs to be grant
ed in such numbers and at suited
times as the Secretary of War may
deem compatible with the public SER
vice.
Re-enlistments, for the purpose Of
changing from one regiment, battal-
lion or company to another. unless
already perfected by actual transfer,
are in effect Cancelled and all autho-
rites to raise new corps are vacated,
unless within thirty days from the
passage of the act the organization is
complete, and has the requisite num-
Der recruited from persons not now in
the service. Companies Of Infantry
are to have one hundred and twenty
five, Field Artillery one hundred and
fifty, Cavalry eighty.
All corps Of twelve months volun-
teers shall have the right, within
forty days, on a day to be fixed by
the commander of the brigade, to
elect all their officers which they had
a right heretofore to elect-such off,
GERS to be commissioned by the Presi-
dent.
All white males between eighteen
and thirty-Ave years. subject to mill
tary duty, and not now in service,
are to be enrolled and mustered in
and sent to the old regiments.
All discharges from expiration of
service and transfers of re-enlist;ng
to new corps will be Immediately
stopped:
AS we stated in a previous article,
this law does not with favor in our
eyes, and we doubt, whether as a
general thing, it will be appreciated ;
for " every able-bodied" man should
have been inserted, in the first clause
in lieu Of "between eighteen and thir-
ty-fve." However, the times will
not admit Of likes and dislikes, and
as it has passed both Houses, COM
posed of wiser heads than ours, we
see no alternative but for the people
to rally at once form companies

age frees him from this law, would

CHERQKEES TOTHE REsCUE-Mai.
G. w. Morgan left this city yester-
day, en- route for western North
Carolina, to recruit battalion among
the Cherokee warriors, The braves
of this gallant aboriginal race have
aleady been filling up the ranks of our
volunteers in theTennessee regiments,
and we learn that large numbers yet
are eager to entei the service. In the

at Kings Mountain, and on other
hard contested fields, We're recognized
by the States Of North Carolina in
the grant of the land which they now
occupy. They sent out their war
riors, also, in the war Of 1912. No
class of our citizens exceeds them in
patriotism or devotion to the South,
and there is no doubt that their var
riors will rally in might to the de-
fence of their homes against the
Yankee invaders.
Major Morgan is accompanied by
Gen. II. S. Mehatfey, of Hawkins
county, and venerable Cherokee
interpreter, named Peter Greybcard
