Fierce FiyLting.

The Richmond Examiner of recent date, says:
1.-The only hope we have is in fighting fiercey;
if VIC succeed in beating the foe, all is we'll if We
do not succeed, 1t is still much the better to have
resisted with fearless and sangunary determination
for then we shall be respected and feared in our
defeat"
If qce had admitted as the Examiner has in the
above extract that the result of the contest in which
we are engaged with the North is at all doubtful,
we should have been assailed untrue to the South
But the Examiner is right. During the next three
months the North will assa US at all points with
exceeding ferceness AID rapidity. 1.-The only hope
we have il; in fighting tercely." Our whole power
must be consolidated and directed against our as
sailants. II we succeed our independence will be
established; if we fail, 1--WE shall be respected and
feared in our defeat" If We had " ise and energetic
leaders, and if country preferred, as it should
be- but as it is not to party the result of this great
struggle could not be doubted. But man proposes,
and God disposes. Whatever may be the future con-
dition or the future relations Of these Confederate
States, States they shall remain and not provinces
or territories, though every man who can bear arms
should he struck down in battle, delivered cap
tves to the hands Of our foes. Courage, then,
Southern men Fight fiercely, for the enemy as
sails us on all sides, and the time is short FROM
this nettle DANGER let US pluck the flower, Safety

WHisKEY.-A,, intelligent western Woman"
gives us amentable account Of the prospective con-
dition of the people, because Of the immense quan.
tity of corn now being distilled into whiskey She
says there said to be l5o distlleries in one Of
our western Counties. or course those who distil
all the corn into whskey, will see to it that the
people do not lack bread. There is, however, one
remarkable fact connected with this matter, that
people do not consider. 1t is said that the COM
plant against whskey dlstillers is general if not
universal But they cannot distil unless'they can
get grain Do people sell their grain to disters at
high price, and then turn about and raise their
hands in holy horror at themf What hypocrisy |
Let the people keep their grain for bread and to
raise pork and distllers will be forced to stop be.

Confederate Congress.

This body seems. to be fully at work preparing
business for the session. Several important meas
ures are before it So far, but little has been done
OF special interest to our readers The following
preamble and resolution offered by Mr. Rails Of Al
aoama, a few days ago. passed unanimously:
WnEREAs. The United States are waging
against the confederate States, with the avowed
purpose of compelling the latter to re-unite with
them under the same Constitution and government;
and whereas, the wagng of war with such an object
Is in direct opposition to the sound Republican max
lin that "all government rests upon the consent OF
the governed" and can only tend to consolidation
IN the general government, and the consequent de-
strucon of the rights of the States; and whereas,
this result being attained, the two sections !y
exist together in the relation of the oppressor and
the oppressed, because Of the great prepondcrance
of power in the Northern section, coupled with dis
similarity o. interests and whereas, we, the repre-
sentativcs of the people OF the Confederate States,
III Congress assembled, may he presumed to know
the sentiments Of said people, having just been elect
ed by them: Therefore, be it
Resolred, That this Congress do so,emnly de-
clare and publish to the world that it is the unater
able determination Of the people of the Confederate
States Gn humble reliance upon Almighty God) to
suffer all the calantles of the most protraced war;
but they will nerer, on any terms politically ath
late with people who are guilty of an invasion ct
their soil and the butchery of their citizens.

Col SnAw.-The Standard inquiries I" if man
is to be blamed for not doing what he did not kaou
hoo to DOR Certainly, he had no right to ask an
appointment Colonel, when he was utterly in
competent to perform the duties of the office. a
man may make fool of himself if he pleaseS, by
undertaking as private individual to do what he
does not know how to do but he has no right to
take into his keeping 500 men and the great
interests Of the country, in position about which
he knows nothing. Equally to blame are those who
put him in such position The lives of the men
and the safety of the country should not be perled
by putting ignorant men in such c0mnands.-Fay-
eHeriXe Obserter.
We entirely Concur with the Obserrer. But it is
useless to plain. The faci.on in power at Ral-
eish and Richmond claim that they made the rcvo
luton, and that they alone entitled to the Offices
and honors. The only inquiry in Dr. Shaw's case,
in hundreds of others before appointments were
made was, is he with us ?-al,d does he believe that
those who endeavored to prevent the revolution
should be deprived Of all places of honor and trust
DIR. Shaw, like hundreds of others, was appointed,
not because he qualified but because he belong
cd to Certain party. We have said it is Useless to
complain. Il is. The same partyisn and favorit-
ism still prevails Incompetent men are still! ap-
pointed on partzan grounds; and favoritcs-in some
cases mere stripfngs belonging to certain families
are thrust State reg ents, against the wishes of
the regiments, and without regard to the claims Of
hundreds of tTivates who better qualified for the
place than they are. Field officers promised TO GER
tain have been conferred Others 10
propitiasc certain influences and to keep the faction
united which thus tracS in the rights and liberties
OF our people One Of these conservatives was cap
tured on Roanoke Island, and the other is dorg his
duty the Colonel of regiment in his County
But is idle 10 dlate these abuses. There seems
to be no cure for them.

EAST TENNEssEE.-The Federals are in large force
in the direction Of Cumberland Gap. Sometimes
our scouts get near to them. The fact however,
that they have made no advance towards Knoxville
lead to the suspicion that they Only reconnoiter
ing with the view to surprise elsewhere. AT last
accounts our force had been reinforced and were
closely watching the movements of the enemy.
FROM TIE UPPER PoroNAc.-We have informa-
ton that the enemy to the number Of about one thou
