Evidences of Patriotism.

We stated few weeks ago, that cer-
tain liberal minded gentleman Of I.ancas.
ter Distict, wa' selling his crop Of wheat
-four, ct the moderate price Of SO per bar.
rel. This Is not an isolated instance ol
genuine patriotism in that District. An
other christian planter has been supply
ing the families of soldiers with bacon a
20 cents per pound. Another gentlemen il
another quarter Of the District, made
large crop Of wheat, Of superior kind
much sought after for seed. This wheat
which, would command, according to tn
price established by spectators. four o
five olinrs per bushel, he is selling a
two dollars per bushel.
A gentleman, who for number of year
has helped to supply Lancasterville witt
fresh meats, continues to do SO with {
small advance over old prices, and at con
siderably less than others are demanding
for the same article.-Chas. Cour.

Among the multitude Of resolutions In
troduced into tho Confederate Congress,
we find the following submitted by Mr..
Foote,--
A resolution declaring that the move.
ments OF our armies should be active and
aggressive. as far as consistent with en-.
lightened discretion; that when the enc.
my were driven back TO their own coun-
try. IL the deluded Government At Wash.
ington still refuses US peace, our policy
will DC to invade the territory of the foe
at come moment. Anterior to this inva-
sion. the President should proclaim to the
inhabitants Of the North w estern States
unanimous willingness of the people Of
the Confeacracy 10 guarantee to them the
free use ofthe Mississippi and Ohio rivers
provided they will desist from further
participation in this cruel and unnatural
war. The resolutions were referred with

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

The VioSsburg Citizen generously cor
reefs the impression that has prevailed
that the honor of defending that city is
claimed exclusively by Mississippians,
and asserts that the idea never origina-
ted at yicksburg, whose citizens feel cha
grined.that this impression should have
got into circulation among their brethren
of the sister State, and disclaim any ideas
of attempting to Gust. the we'll deserved
honor from those to whom it properly be-
longs. So
The Calzsn says sit il, a strange fact
that while Mississippi is 40 faithfully rep
resented on every field, it had but few to
participate in the battle of Vicksburg.--
Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ala.
bama and Missouri, were with us on that
occasion, and they are entitled to the
honor of being among the 'brave defend
ers Of Vioksburg."

The Enemies of our Cause.


The Montgomery Advertiser declaims
against the ungenerous and unjust preju-
dices So often expressed against Southern
citizens Of Northern birth" 1t says:
"Let every man be judged, not by the
actions of others. but by his own, and
whether he first drew breath beneath a
New England or Carolina sky, let his
merit be measured not by the accidents of
his birth, but by his acts. If he has cheer
fully and periodically borne his part Of
the burdens Of war, and rendered all the
service in his power to advance the cause
Of the South, he is entitled to the fullest
confidence of all good citizens, no
matter where born. The men who are
evading their duty in this war, who
are doing nothing to forward it, but who
are, instead, engaged in making fortunes
at the'expense Of the peopls-the monop-
olists,ithe extortioners, the men who are
demanding unreasonable prices for the
necessaries of life from the poor-these arc
the men who deserve to be placed under
the suspicion of the community. The
fidelity Of such men may very properly
be questioned, and this, too, whether they
are natives of the South or not. They are
really enemies to our cause, more danger
Gus than those who are openly in arms
against US. 1t should never be forgotten
by lovers of truth and justice in thu
South, that many of the bitterest ant
most prominent of our enemies at tn
North, are men of Southern birth.
