To p IL, LIT. Pisgah.-No money has
been received by US from you for Mr. Jas. A.
Lackey.
To L. g., CJaytoasrtlEe-We fully APP
preciate your desires for peace, and heartily
join in your prayers for the bestowment of
this precious boon ; but cannot see how it
could be at al promoted by a spirit of kind
ness and moderation towards our enemies
who have exhibited to. US nothing but the
most implacable enmity and savage cruelty
even to innocent and helpless women and
children. With the political aspects of your
communication it is Out Of our province to
speak. We have nothing to Go with party
matters in these columns. But We are for
prosecuting the war vigorously and to the
bitter end, believing that to be the only way,
under Providence, to ensure Peace. We
must decline the publication of your commu-
n~ication. A misapprehenslon of it's tenor
might lead to unhappy consequences.
To Mss L. 4. B.-We like to oblige the
Ladies at all times, but really, in this case
; must decline. Ladies should never let their
angry passions rise" 1t is ugly and naugh
ty. We have a great mind to publish your
: letter, so as to let you see how ugly it would
I look IN print. If ever you get married, we
= are afraid you will make one of those crea-
e lures which are the great dread and pest Of
S all men-viz, a s~colding wife and you know
what the wise man says of all such-"It i:
u better to dwell on the house-top than in
house with a ~brawling woman"

It is believed that Lincoln will veto the
bill creating q new State out OF the northwest
of Virginia. Attorney General Bates has
given a decided opinion against It's constitu-
tionality. A..
The Northern press evidently tear that
since the defeat at Fredericksburg, France
will certainly move towards interfering to
! stop the war.

FROM THE BLACK WArER.--We under
stand that Gen. Pryor is having pretty much
his own way now down in the Suffolk re
gion. Not content with breaking up the
election for a member to Lincoln's Con-
gress at Isle of Wight Court House last
Monday, and driving y large body of Yam
KEGS behind their Notifications around SUI
folk, on Friday night last the General drove
in the enemy's pickets at Suffolk, and Offer
ed him battle, which be declined to accept.
By these aggressive movements, General
Pryor not only keeps the thieving Vandals
cooped up in Suffolk, and saves the people
in that section a vast deal of annoyance, but
he is securing for his own army more ba-
con, grain and forage, than his army and
horses can consume. AS soon as General
Pryor's command crossed the river, the
enemy's gunboats left the Blackwater river,
and that stream is now clear of both men
and gunboatS. -Pstersburg Express, Dec. 90.

REV. R. J. GRAvEs.-It will be recollected
that the Legislature ofthis State, at it's late
session, passed a resolution authorizing the
Governor to demand the Rev. r. j.. Graves
of the government at Richmond, in order
tigated here. The &C EHs 5fB accordingly
appointed A C. Cawles, ESQ, Of Yadkir,,
to proceed to Richmond and uske the demand;
and Mr.. Cowles having done so, returned on
Sunday evening with Mr.. Graves.
We learn that in the absence Of the Pres
iaent, the demand was f1ade upon Mr.. Seldom
the Secretary of War, who treated Mr.. Cowles
with due courtesy, and promptly compiled
with the demand. Mr.. Graves is now II
this City. We entertain no doubt that Gov
! Vance will do his whole duty in the matter
If Mr.. Graves is guilty Of the crime OF trea'
on, let him be punished; ifinnocent, let him
90 free.-Standdrd.

Home Life.

If home is we'll ordered, the children
having, according to age, work.time,
play time, books, games and household
sympathies, they will love home and find
pleasure there. Give the little ones states
and pencils, and encourage their attempts
to make pictures. Drawings will smuse
them when noisy plays have lost their
zes., or are unreasonable; and the art
will be useful in after life. Have them
read to each other stories and paragraphs
of your selection, and save the funny
things, and pleasant ones you see in pa
pers and books, to read to them at your
leisure. You cannot imagine how it will
bind them to you. But choose well for
them, for the impressions made upon
their minds now will last when the hills
crumble Have them sing together, and
sing with them, teaching songs and
hymns. Let them sing all day like birds
at all proper times. Have them nat
urally interested in the same things,
amusements and occupations, having a
specified time for each, so that their hab-
its will be orderly. Let them work to.
gether in the garden-boys and girls both
need out -doore rexercse-whilet the parents
eyes direct and sympathise, and the loud
voices blend in loving record.

Giving the Devil his Due.

There is a point in the following anec.
dote
A pastor was making call upon an
old lady, who made it a habitual rule
never to speak il! Of another. and had OBJ
served it SO closely that she always JUS
titled those whom she had heard evil
spoken Of Before the old lady made her
appearance in the parlor, her children
were speaking of this popularity of their
mother, and one of them playfully ad-
ded
Mother has such habit of speaking
we'll of everybody, that | helieve if Sa-
tan himself were the subject of conver-
sation, mother would find ont some vir-
tue or good quality even in him."
OF course this remark elected some
smiling and merriment at the originality
of the idea, in the midst of which the
old lady entered the room, and on being
told what had been said. she immediate.
y and voluntarily replied /:
"Well, children wish we all had Sa-
tan's industry and perseverance,.

thee, and ceases for while its heaving;
