The quantities in which these articles must be
TAKEN az, for instance -four and lard by the tiercc,
will preclude small families from taking advantage
of the offer, unless several can combine to make a
purchase and then divide it among them. But it
cannot, of course, be expected of the committee
to open set Of small groceries throughout the
city to accommodate everybody.
The advantages of organization manifested
in this instance. Here isa committee organized
by the municipal government for specific purposes,
going to work in earnest and commencing what
VIC hope, will be series Of bcGelicent measures.
Individuals might very well conceive the same
schemes; but what is evoryhody's business is
nobody's. The same system of organization
whether public or private, will, we hope, in short
time start enterprises which will furnish everybody
| with employment. Mines of metals and coal
should ne opened factories estabished, tanneries
commenced, foundries and paper mills set in ope
| rati"n all the wants of our millions OF population
| provided for, which surely could give most re
munerasing labor to everybody who can be spared
from war. If private organization will not attempt
! it. municipal government should.

vanccd into the interior TO complete the work Of
subjugation the contest became somewhat more
tain, and the victory Of Morgan at the Cowpens
encouraged the Americans, and lnterpossed uddl-
tional obstacles to their enemies.
Greene reorganized his little army aud retreatel
Cornwas, with superior and wel.equipped
force, pursued him across North Carolina The
British victory at Guilford weakened their force
and compelled theia to fall back and abandon the
state. Greene returned to lberate the CaToiHas
and Georgia. This was accomplished against
R4wdon's forces. and ultimately driven into Char
lesion, the British evacuated the Car0iiuas.
We offer but a summary of the remarkable re-
verses sustained by the American arms during the
Southern campaign. With the want of all upon
which the efficiency Of an army depends--with a
people dspirited, unarmed and dyided--without
adequate supplies of ammunition, provisions or
clothing, the obstacles to success seem insur-
But these States, though siv.ded and at war with
themselves, were at heart determined not to
submit
AS the Scyhian savage showed the Persian
mu"rcl tnal as only the part of the DRIED nde on
which he stno1 was pressed down. so q conquered
people will only be Kept down where the weight
of war rests upon them; so the witht rawal of the
British forces from any part Of the Southern States
added tihmediataly to the area of resistance. No
| sooner did Cornwas or Rawdon withdraw his foot
| than the guerrilla bands of fMaron and Sumter oc-
cupied the position. They chastised the dsaffected
and so harassed the enemy that, " Wearied with
| victory" they withdrew.
With these examples Of the reyerses which be-
fell our ancestors in contest with superior foe,
during a war Of seven years, why should we be
discouraged at the temporary advantages of our
| enemies?
| Those advantages have been in great part due
to our having pursued the earlier policy Of our
ancestors, whilst astute foe have followed
the plans Of the British invaders.
We have defended everything to the waters
edge. We have thereby divided our forces and
! sometimes placed them in positions where the
whole marine and military fire OF the enemy could
| be concentrated against them--where any advan-
| tage which we might gain would be lost by the
present protection Of the shipping and when il the
enemy succeed, "those that command the water
| have been thereby enabled completely to en-
velope our troops stationed on the rivers, and cut
of their retreat into the broad, open country
| The policy will be changed, as it was abandoned
| by our ancestors. Our troops will fall back and
| compel the enemy to abandon his base, and pro
long his lines of advance, to detachtroops TO pro
| tect his temporary acquisitions. Aided thus by
| the natural defences Of the country, any advant
ages which he may,acquire will rebound to our per
| 1nanent profit. Them with people united. an6
unanimous in their determination never 70 submit
| we shall like our ancestors, struggle through tht
contest, and, like them, emerge purified and fit fo
empire.

TALK ON 'CHANGE.

There were come few gatherings on the flags on
Saturday. The weather was clear and real March
like in ine, it has been blowing a real norher
for over two days. A capital time yesterday was
to send the fge-rafts and boats down among the
Hessian squadron ut She Balize. The ram is under
going some repairs, rather is not in condition
to move. There was some very queer talk going
on about our gunboats at island No. 10.
The most important movement. of the day was
the announcement that Gen. Lowell had taken
action on the momentous question OF bread and
breadstuffs The Provost -Marshals, in conjunction
with the Committee of Safety, have fixed the price
of flour at sl5 to SIG per barrel and at 81 rs
per bushel. The tariff for meats and provisions
will be considered and acted on to-day. There is
not barrel OF flour in first hands that stands in
$40 to Sl2 per barrel. We refer to our adver-
tising columns for the order of the authorities.
Some parties think that the establishing of tariff
will have the effect of restricting supplies being
sent hither even at the enormous price of SIG for
-four, and 81 SO per bushel for wheat, and 81 rs
for corn. If holders in the country are disposed
to thwart or harass the authorities, the question
can readily be settled by President Davis decar-
ing martial law the entire Southern Con.
federacy. We are credibly informed that planter
stated the flags three days since that he had an
abundance of corn on hand but that the citizens
of New Orleans should not have kernel only at
the price of 81 % per bushel. 1t is hoped there
are but few planters and cultivators entertaining
these views.
1t will be observed by the Commanding Cen
erals order that the stocks of breadsus and pro.
visions on hand, in stores and warehouses; must be
returned in quantity to the Provost-Marshas with
in five day. We merely have to add, there is no
eyading this order, and that it must be faithfully
obeyed,

lfeyerses of the Revolution,

We have already published an interesting his
torica article from the Richmond Whig, under the
above title, and we follow it up to-day with an
other one Of equal interest, from the same paper
The narrative which we gave a few days since
OF the reverses sustained by the American arms in
the North, would be incomplete without more
detailed reference to the continuous calamities
which befell thenlin the Southern States.
. In the Spring of l179, the British projected a
" burnside expedition" against Virginia. Our
forts having been constructed solely for defepce
against shipping, were untenabie on the land side.

Thus the British, having landed force to attack
the fort which. guarded Portsmouth on the water
side. it was abandoned by the garrison, and the
enemy captured large body Of military and ma val
stores, shipping and cargoes. The loss sus-
tanned both by the public and individuals was i'm

Charleston was next invested &; the British landed

themselves, sending their shipsof war to pass the
forts, and investing the city CLOSELY nm tho IanJ

and the British claim to have taken 56lS prisoness'

great value. "
The smaller casualties which succeeded cul-
minated In the defeat of the Southern army under
Gen. Gates, at Camden. The British claim to have
killed 800 and captured l0o0-they captured 1900
wagons, great part of the baggage, military

army was disarmed and dispersed.
