Producing.

It is a deplerable fac, that the wants and
necessities of the So,th are not causing that
enterprise and industry for producing such
articles, as it was hoped and expected they
would develope. Indeed, many articles, which
were produced in the South, in great album
lance, before the war, have ceased tobe man.

y uoihg So are as much ut our command as

Asme. lie Limestone lies imbedaed in our
n''is III siae greatest profusion and of the best
the word produces. Before the war, Lime
was manufactured in abundance in North
Carollua and other Southern States but
new very little is made; and this article, 30
essential for many other branches Of manu-
~facture, is scarcely to be had at any price.
There are aes tho requisite articles of
nitre, sulphur, saltpetre, copfscras, and many
others-all of which can be produced In
abundance and of good quality in North Gar
olina-and yet how few, if any, are engaged
in their production!
This want of enterprise and public spirit
to meet the wants of the people of the South,
is most deplorable, and if persisted in, must
prove most disastrous. The truth is, men OF
means are SO intent upon Specializing and
extortioning upon what few productions W
have, that they will not invest their means
r in laudable and patriotic. enterprises for the
; production of new articles, however so much
needed, or so certain the profits arising there
from. This want of patriotic enterprls,
must be reformed, or we shall suffer TO
. many articles that we cannot we'll do with

Old Abe's Gift.

We have sometimes heard of dying men
who had not a dime in the world, leaving
immense estates by will to their friends. A
like conceit seems to possess the yankee
President. He has issued a proclamation
pretending to emancipate the slaves of =" re-
bells" He has just as much right to do this
as the Emperor of Russia, or tho Queen of
England has, and that is none at all. Even
if the slave States were under the govern
ment of the United States, the Constitution
which he has sworn faithfully to administer
gives him no power to do So wicked IN act.
But he has no right to do even a constitu-
tional act in the ConfedeTacy. 1t owes him
no allegiance, and he knows will pay no re-
spect to his proclamation. 1t is merely is
sued in the vain hope that it may do some
mischief. But, like all his acts, it is a mis-.
take, calculated only to defat<his object
for 1t will strengthen the unity of the South
and embitter its hostility . Ahe whole vile
yankee nation, which thus shows its willing
ness to do an act injurious to itself and to the
world, in the hope that it may. be most inju-
rious to us.

The PARTIzANs IN n. C.-The Petersburg
Express learns from a source entirely relia-
BILE, that Capt. Taylor's company of Partizan
Rangers, Ferrebee's Regiment. attacked the
enemy in their encampment in Camden coun
ty, N. c., on Tuesday of last week, with fine
effect. Capt. Taylor's company numbered
only 81, but seizing a favorable opportunity,
dawn of day they dashed in with a most
unearthly yell, startling the Federals from
their slumbers, and driving them through
and out of their encampment,. before many
of the rascals had time to comprehend fully
the nature of the attack. We KILLED three,
wounded seven, took eleven prisoners, 100
stand of arms, one brass six FOUNDER, two
barrels of sugar, three bags of coffee, sundry
other antilles, and then burned the camp
equipage, etc. The enemy is supposed to
have numbered about 800, but they ran Sc
fast that the gallant rangers could not ascer
tain with accuracy thsir force. We brought
off all the arms and provisions captured, anG
paroled the prisoners. Taylor lost not a man
and had but one wounded, and he slightly

MARYLAND-Wc extract the followingfr ON
the correSl ondent of the Richnomnd Dis
patch from Winchester:
One word as to the reception of Our army
on the Maryland side. Many may be dis
appointed Recruits came by hundreds when
they were expected by sone to have joined
US by thousands. But we must ssbs INTO
ffedsfftf' Git three days; that the whole
route through which we passed was that
part of the State considered most s~trongLv
OhlQn; that even the Southern men Of that
section hstorc joining our army and riskiug
their all, wished to Know whether the move
ment was to be a mere temporary raid, or an
effort for a permanent relief. When we con-
slider these things we can well understand
why it. was idle to expect any more from
Maryland than we actually revived. Even
as things were, large nurnbc,s were on their
way to JON our army at the very time it
was leaving. Since We left, every man who
made any show of open welcome to the Con-
federate aru,y has b.en'a.rested by Lincoln's
minions. .r -

NcWhainpshire Elections.

The full returns are net quite all given,
but the rasult shows that though the
Democratic candidate, Mr. Starke, is de-
ieated, yet Berry. the Republican, has
nothing to brag Of. Out Of some 60, 900
votes given the Democrats cast $4,000
votes--Berry having little over 81 900,
and a middle candidate one or two thou
sand. This shows nearly one half Of the
voting population Of NewHampshire to be
true and faithful to the old landmarks of
the Constitution, and the principles that
made us great, powerful and prosperous
nation. If New England State cen
show such vote as this, in the very hot
bed of Abolition, church politics, and all
the isms that SOW the seeds of moral and
political destruction, what ought the peo-
pie of the West to do, who are less under
the rule OF the fanatical orders?
Had the New Hampshise soldiers, now
in the Army, been allowed to vote, the
Democratic Governor would, probably,
have been elected. An informal vote was
taken in one of the New Hampshire Reg
iments to test their political preferences.
and the result was, for Starke, (Dem.)

From the Crisis
ONCE "UAPPY AMERICA"
by A LADY READER.


All! mourn for proud America, the Empress of
the world;
For lo her regal robes are rent-her glorious
banner furl'd;
And, over all her broad domain, the kndlng
fires Of hate
Are Kissing with their scorpion tongues, that she
is desolate.
The busy hum Of factory wheels, move but with
feeble tread,
While those who gather there their wealth, are
perishing for bread;
Her foundry fires are burning low-her commerce
fainting stands;
And what was once the boaSt-is now, the scorn
of other lands.
And who shall say that in the world, where peace
and love preside,
They do not look with equal scorn upon the fra
trcide2
All! well may sorrow bow her head, as ruin
onward sweeps
And DER Nations blighted hopes-Despair her
vigil keeps.
But, bark! the voice of war resounds: "to arms!"
"to arms" they cry
And rush like madmen just escaped, "to conquer
or to die''--
To conquer whom? to die for what7 all! crime
without name,
To conquer hate by spling blood, to die for
murderous gain.
Oh! lay the arms of warfare by; muzze the
Cannon's mouth,
And bid the dove Of peace to fly, East, West,
and North, and South;
Invite to arms--to arms Of love--to brotherly
embrace,
And find beneath each foeman's cap, brothers.
loving face.
Our Father! stay the gathering storm, allay the
needless strife,
Bring back our nations peace and joy--bring
back our nations life;
For, oh! on bristing bayonets, she leans hel
fainting head;
While her misguided sons make haste, to robe
her for the dead

Abolition Movements.

We learn from the New York Evening
Post that Senator Wilson's bill provides
that the United States Government will
pay the States of Maryland and Delaware
$3.50 for each slave they will cmancipate.
There are 10000 slaves in those States,
and the bill. therefore, calls upon the pao-
pie of the North for about ninety t,ro mit-
lions of dollars, if those States should ac-
cept the proposition and set free theil
slaves. If anything could reconcile us tc
this unconstitutional and offensive scheme
it would he an amendment that the free
negroes should all be settled in Massa
chusctts and become part of Senator

riding on horseback through the streets Of
Nashville, and ariStocratic lady, Mrs.
w. living in a fine large house, stood at
an open door or window, waved rebel
flag toward him, and cried, "Hura for
jeff. Davis and the Southern Confedera-
cy !" The General reined in his horse,
turned toward the lady, touched his hat
with all the courtesy and suavity for which
he is remarkable, and, surveying the house
from topic bottom with the eye of con-
nosseur. quietly remarked, "An excel
lent house for hospital" In less than
two hours every room was full OF sick
soldiers, and Mrs. w. was politely re-
ouested to take kind care of them. we
