THE GALLANT DEAD. -

:
, Our State has lost, in the desth Of Lieutenant
L. F. haynes, Of Yadkin County, one Of her brsvest
and most promising young officers. He was only
about Is years old at the time he entered the army,
and had been for four years member Of the Bap-
fist Church. As soldier of the Gross, his young
days were devoted in eniulating the commands o.
Him whose mortal part was surrendered as sacfi-
ice for the sins of fallen world. When our coun.
try called be noby stepped into its ranks to defend
it from the attacks of our unnatural ensmy-whose
crimes in prosecuting this fendish war, have, BY
contrast obliterated from the pages of histor, the
darkest deeds of past ages Truly our victories a,e
robbed Of their ustre by the loss Of such gallant and
brave ohcers as was our young friend, and it
only let to hs country to have such misfortunes
nllea oy following in his heroic steps, and defend
ing 70 the last the righteous cause for which he
mas onereo up his young life. He was attached to
the 18Th Regiment N. c. Volunteers, and was first
Lieutenant OF company D. He fought conspicu.
ously brave through the late battles before Rich
mona Tor i've days. He was injured internally by
the bursting of one of the enemys bombs, at Nal.
vern Hill, and was also struck by minnie ball
These injuries resulted in attack of typhoid fever
OF which he finally died on the goth day of July.
1t Is sad to see the growing pillars, destined to
relieve those which now support the prosperity and
greatness of our good old State, whose sons have
been foremost in every battle and who have bap-
tlzed each victory with their lifes blood thus cut
down by those whom we once called our country
men, but who have now, through blind fanaticsm,
become g. devils incarnate."
His remains were brought home by his bereaved
father, and he now sleeps near his family with 9TH
ers of our sons and brothers who have sacrificed
their lives in the same glorious cause. Hwould be
repugnant to human instinct to believe that they
are not now enjoying the felicity promised 20 those
who, "by their deeds, have conquered DEATH"

Southern people would have given him by acclama-

Spectators and Extortioners.


Thousands and tens Of thousands of hotbrained
sefore-day war men, have remained out Of the war
to coin money out Of the government and every one
around them, and to claim exemption for their sons
or employees The government has thus unwit-
tingly given the spectators monopoly over itself,
and the public, which is operating irjuriously to
the common veal For instance, tanners claim ex-
emption from the war, because leather is SO much
needed by the government. They demand the ex-
emption in order that they may buy green hides at
and cents, and dry hides at II and l6 cents per
pound, and sell sole leather at $3.50 to $,75 and
upper at g to 1925. Owners of Cotton factories
demand exemption for their employees, because the
government is a customer and then demand 60 to
70 cents for spun cotton per pound, and So to 40
cents per yard for domestics. The whole Confede-
racy has thus become the mart for the speculation
and extortion of certain classes embarrassing the
government and impoverishing the people. What
can be done to remedy iti Let Congress and the
Legislatures look to it Every factor merchant,
mechanic farmer, and Spectator, engaged in the
work of extortion upon the government or people,
should be forced to shoulder his musket forthwith
and go into the war; Our suffering poor are groan-
ing under the load imposed on them by the war and
the spectators.

The Latest News.


The fact of Pope's retreat is fully confirmed
Our forces have driven him beyond the Rappahan-
mock 1t is said that severe fight took place be-
low the Railroad Bridge on Saturday morning, last
ing four hours between a portion of our forces
and Burnside's command. The enemy was driven
back with severe loss in killed and wounded. We
took about 400 prisoners. Our loss is said to have
been between 100 and $50, killed and wounded.
Severe cannonading was also heard at Orange
Court House on Saturday morning. Rumor states
that our cavalry had advanced within seven miles of
Manassas Junction, and that our troops occupied
the town of Warrenton, but the rumors were doubt
ed Burnside it is said had been driven into Fred
ericksburg.
The whole country in which the Yankees had
been, presented scene of desolation as if the
"oesom of destruction" had swept over it The
citizens focked with shouts and tears to welcome
our army. Whether Pope will risk general en-
gagement is doubtful We trust our forces will
press on to the deverance of Maryland.
Some doubt still exists as to the position OF Nc
Clean's forces. Our scouts pursued him to W IL
liamsburg, capturing and destroying number OF
wagons and stores Some assert he has gone to
Newport News and Fortress Monroe. rumor,
however, that Yankee force had landed at Glouces
ter Point makes the impression that he will attempt
to reach the Rappahannock from that quarter. Pri
vate accounts state that Gen. Mcclellan asserts that
he has lost 100, 900 men since he came On the Pen
ninsula.
Pope has issued another order, endeavoring to
creep out of the infamy fixed him by his previous
one, by alledgng it misunderstood. His retreat
occasions great uneasiness at Washington.
The late foreign news gives no indication of Eu-
ropean interference in American affairs. The En-
peror of France, King OF Prussia, and the Gar Of
Russia, are to have Conference, but when where
or what is the object of it is not known. 1t occa-

Movements OF the Armies.
But little has TRANSFERRED for several days of the
movements of our forces or those of the enemy, of
much interest
From the Rappahannock lines the items of news
have been few and tardy in reaching us. The fall
ing back retreat Of Popes army towards the Rap
pahannock seems to be generally credited There
were said to be only $500 Yankees in Cupeper
County and that Pope's main army had arrived at
Brandy Station, between Culpeper Courthouee and
the river. General Jackson had pressed upon him,
taking number Of prisoners, also killing and wound
ing many. 1t is said that Pope and his officers de-
MED the authenticity Of the offensive order attributed
to him.
One account states that our advance surprised and
captured $50 of the enemy who were ordered to
blow up the bridge across the Rappahannock after
the enemy crossed, and at the same time our men
took two new locomotives and five or six cars.
If the information of the Richmond Dispatch be
correct it would seem that the whereabouts of Nc
Clellan and his force, is still in doubt 1t appears
that instead of his evacuation of Berkeley, having
been effected by transports down the river, that
30 900 of his men had moved in three columns across
the Chickahominy down to Williamsburg, since
which time nothing appears to be known Of him.
Large amounts Of axes, picks, guns &C., had been
left by him at Berkeley A large amount Of proper
ty and negroes had been stolen and destroyed on
both sides of the river.
About 10000 Yankees at last accounts had ad-
vanced into the Valley from Winchester with the
design, it is supposed, of joining Pope in Culpeper

ers Our loss was two morally wounded and six

Information has been received at Jackson, Miss,
that the Yankees had evacuated Baton Rouge and
gone down the river.
Stirring events are looked for soon in Tennessee
and Kentucky, from the movements of our forces
The enemy has succeeded in taking Haynes
Bluff at the mouth of the Yazoo river which gives
him an advantageous position for operations against
Vicksburg. The Yankees continue to ravage the
river plantations.
