There is no news of Importance from any direc-
tion. In Virginia everything is quiet, and it ap.
pears that the of operations is being changed
to other parts of the country. The yankee army,
1t is stated has been almost broken up for the pur-
pose OF reinforcing other points. We do not think
Lincoln has been able TO raise many new soldiers
recently.
Bragg's army in Tennessee has been largely re-
lnforeed lately, although it has been gradually fall
ing back. The object. no doubt. is to draw the
army OF Rosencranz far into the country as pos
siole and then pounce upon it. Gen. Lee it is said
mas been ont there experimenting operations but
has returned to Virginia.
Charleston still stands, and Fort Sumter still de-
mes the assaults of the enemy. The late effort to
storm Fort Sumter a disastrous one to the
enemy Though the enemy may be able, after
awhile to shell Charleston, we do not believe they
wall ever get possession of the ground on which the
city stands.

that Andy johnson, Lincoln's Governor of Tennes-

State who is known t" entertain sympathy for the
Conf cause. and is giving it to the traitors
and tories. For instance, in neghborhood where
one man is untrae to the South and another has
proven true, johnson takes the true mans property
and bestows upon the traitor and tory leaving the
true southern man destitute and houseless Let
those who now in possession of comfortable
homes remember what their fate will be if Lincoln's
hirelings and tools overrun There is escape
from fate than death if we permit ourselves
to fall prey to the vengeance of a brutal and bar

aroused and at work for the cause of his
try. But comparatively few men at home have yet
done much for the they could do, and we
warn them now that if they do not exert themselves
