The Rebels in Extremity.

From The Richmond EAqu rer, Jan. 21.
The enemy is moving his legions, and prob
ably in earnest. Are we ready? Inc war
drum should sound throughout our Confedera-
cy.
The scar spirit must be raiSfd We want war
specchcs at our court houses and cross roads,
Our people should rouse up and organize rs
one man, snd prepare for the most determined
war See We not the circle of fire that is uni
ting around you? Hear ye not the tramp of the
enemy's advancing lines, and the rush OF his
coming step? The shock of tremendous strife
is upon us AS free and Independent people,
we have either to conquer or die, and we are
resolved not to die The time is come when
every one who has the spilit of a man must

From The Memphis Appeal, Feb. /.
1t were fool hardy and unwise to conceal the
fact that the profoundcSt statesmen an the coyed'
eaacg entertain great apprehension on me SUBJECT
of re entistment involving results, as we believe,
pregnant with veal or woe to the republic. We
would be recreant to our duty as a candid and
outspoken journal were we to fail to expose the
nerii of the future connected with this matter,
which must be avoided by the combined wis
dom Of public legislation and the patriotism of
the people.
Pensacola Cor Mobile Advertiser Jan. 20.
The FIRST Alabama Regiment was the very
first reoiment in the Confederate service, and
the first in the field 1t is, therefore, the first
of the twelve months troops to go out Great
efforts have been made to induce the gallant
First Alabama to re- enlist. They were poorly
successful, except the last one, few days ago,
which has beer partially successful 1t seems
as If it would break Gen. Bragg's heart to part

EAGLE HOTEL BURNED.-Last Saturday eve
ming. about o'clock, the Eagle Hotel, located
near the Galena Depot, was discovered to be on
fire. and the alarm bells were sounded, aud the
fircluen and many citizens repaired pro rpty
to the spot. The building was wood and very
dry and in few moments, owing to this fact
the entire building was speedily in flames and
in a short time burned TO the ground. The in
terse cold and the distance from any int
where water could be obtaiied rendered the
engines useless. The fire originated from
stove pipe IN the second story, and the progress
of the fire was so 'apid thar tut small portion
OF the furniture was saved. The building WAS
occupied by w. Nj. White. Loss about $3 0O0
mostly covered by nsurance.-R ochtord Reg

MAPLE SUGAR. 1t is gratifying to know
that farmers owning sugar orchards in every
section Of Wisconsin, are thus early making all
needfu preparation to make all the sugar that
is possible, the coming season. The high tar
if on sugars imposed by the government, will
no doubt stimulate sap gatherers to greater ex-
ertions than ever before. There is not only a
large amount of unadulterated fun mixed up with
sugar making, but there is real profit in it, Also
and Wisconsin can and no doubt will make a
million dollars worth of maple sugar next spring
Let every man get his boilers aud his buckets
and his wood ready in season for the first squirt
of sap Home Leagae.

The Neac Orleans Picayune of the 18th of jan
nary, says that the reported burning OF the
steamer Calhoun was incorrect. When she
was abandoned her captain set her on fire, but
it appears the Yankees shortly after boarded
her, extingnshed the fire, ard took possession
Of the boat and the cargo, which consisted Of
5000 pounds Of powder, 10000 pounds of salt
petre and quantity of block tin, &c.
Speaking Of the capture of Fort Henry, The
Richmond Dispatch says, Though it is much to
be regretted by the South it was a toregone
conclusion whenever the enemy should think
proper to bring q large force OF men and artl-
lery TO bear upon it. 1t was structure thrown
up since the beginning Of the war, and was
never expected to resist a hea"y bombardment
or assault from large force
1t also says the obstruction of the bridge
which crossed the Tennessee river though pro-
ductive of some inconveni ence, is not a matter
of any great detriment to our interest. The
road without the bridge, will still be available
for strengthening our lines, though connection,
except for mere convenience, being matter OF
inferior mp0 lance.

CoTroN IN ENGLAND.-An English letter
dated January Is, has the following:
"The people in this district are beginning TO
suffer, and yet we want no cottoa. BY all means,
I repeat, send us no cotton. Calico and cotton
are now one pri CO. perhaps the cotton (raw) is
a little dearer. What strange fact You are
importing cotton from us Why not buy the
cloth, which you may have for the same money?
Dep. End upon it, we shall never interfere with
the blockade. We don't want cotton so badly
as that, and the price would be too high. For
breaking the blockade means war, and war
means thirty cents at least for cotton which we
can now buy for twenty-five cents.

The innocents who suppose that the newspa

designed to post the members on the local affairs
OF the State and thus aid the bushes OF legiSla-

a new idea on the first proposition by examn-

tel by reading resolution adopted by the pres-
ent legislature which directs the serp4entats
arms TO collect each morning all the paper
scat er ed about the senate and assembly cham
bers and send them to Camp Randall. The list
we copied in the Secretary Of States office, at
ter the auditing of the account and has just
been b. ought to our recollection by discovering
it snugly slowed away among other papers,
Here is the list

One Of the subordinate clerks literally sup
piled himself from the same bookstores with the
Chicago Daily Tribune, New York Illustrated

Our impression in relation TO this matter is,
that members were then restricted to six dailes
or twenty weekly papers, and the list Of the
member referred to footed up 800, the limit
now assigned by the Jaw which the present
Legislature SO adroitly managed to retain i'll full
force by a disagreement over its amendment OF
repeal.
The simple cost of the papers ordered is not
the only evil and abuse connected with 1t,
though that is an expense which ought to be
cut off The papers are a pretext tor frequent
appropriations of postage stamps. Together
they constitute an item large as the county tax
