We are very busy buying and for
warding stores OF all kinds to Baltimore

amount OF clothing is needed, especially
cotton drawers, cotton and wooden shirts,
double dressing gowns, cotton socks, &C."
The present troubles in New York
will make the Commission more DEEPEN

can comprehend that now the call is ur-

ported Gen. Doubleday as speaking il

RRnRRAL oUTRAGK.

We have already recorded 50 many instances
Of Federal cruelty and outrage in the different
portions Of the country they have invaded, that
We feel 10th to notice them further. Enough
has already been said to cause every one to
blush for humanity. bat another fact Of an out
rage upon an old friend has come to our knowl-
edge. which we cannot forbear mentioning.
Sometime since q jaybawking party from the
Federal camps visited the residence Of ANDREW
TAYLOR, Esq, an aged gentleman residing near
CoIisrviile, Shelby county, Tenn. Their object
being plumber, sud, supposing from appear
snees, the defenseless old man had money, they
demanded it, accompanying the demand with
threats as to the consequences should be refuse.
Unable to resist, al he had was handed over,
but this not satisfying the wretehes, whoaHeeted
to believe he hsd more concealed, they resorted
to torture to make him discover it. Persisting
in his statement. which WAS true, that be had
given up sl he could command, he was hung
en- his W premises. In a few moments he wss
tsken down, and on still assuring them he was
without means, be was sgain hung up, when she
s~coundres departed, leaving him to his fate As
soon as It was safe for them to do so his negroes
rushed in and cut him down the second time.
When thus released life was nearly extinct, and
although medical aid was at once procured, FIVE
days elapsed before be was able to speak He
has since recovered from the injuries received.

rgsr NoRrHEaN m.ssrs

Some Of his radical brethren are a~ssailing
Greeley for saying that if the Federals cannot
subdue the rebels by May, he is in favor of
making peace on The best terms he can. This
is pronounced ~disgracefal baeksldiag, and i'm
plies 6 disreputsbio imputation upon the North
srn people, who, it is said, are determined never
to abandon the war untl @tbe best government
the world ever saw is restored to its integrity.
These attacks have provoked a reply from
Greeley, which d~iscloses some points not with
out interest to the outside werld he has q
very different idea Of the sentiments and deter
mination of the Northern people from what is
entertained by bis assailants 'If cur con
seryative' and Democratic fellow.citizsns Che

war Of the couafry-we ere on hand for as long
and strong a fight as they may desire. If, on
the other hand, they choose to regard It as our
war snd not theirs, NC propose to make 5 finish
of it ere il shall be many months older. And
this is an issue that we have resolved they shall
pIsinly meet. Oaly prove shat the people of
the loyal States generally regard and treat the
war for the Union as theirs, and we are in for

apRRTlVnNr QUESTION.

EDITORS APPEAL: IL common with a large
number Of your subscribers here, we frequently
have the question asked, why is not the river at
Vicksburg lighted up We have been brought
to believe that a light can be thrown to a con
siderable distance by use of refeetors, and we
all kssw that such is done even the darkest
night On railroads, by the use Of very ordinary
glasses, Ebich enable the engineers to see 3 line
Of the road considerably in advance Of them,
to say nothing Of light houses, etc. And it ap-
pears to lis that by the use Of the calcium light,
or SEINE other invention of a ike character, that
the Mississippi river might be illuminated so as
to render every object perfectly clear and dis
tincs, even in the gloomiest weather in which
there is no fog.
The question We ask is probably 3 very fool
ish oue-we know there must be a good reason
why It is lot done-but what is that reason
The question perple1es US, and we throw it
aside, but, again and again, it comes back de-
handing an answer. IF consistent with pub
lie service" please pity and ~enlighten our e.
norsnee MANY.
We regret our inability to give light on this
subject which surely should be Illuminated.
The last result Of the want of light at Yicks-
burg is the passage Of our batteries unframed,
Of one Of the enemy's turretted boats, which
was accomplished on Tuesday night. But fr
this success the utter destruction Of the Indian
ola, to keep her from falling into the enemy's
hands, might not have become necessary.

HoPEFIELb DEsTRoYEp-The Crisis q
yesterday evening learns from a gentleman just
from Memphis, that the Yankees, a few days
ago, entirely destroyed by Smelling and burn
ing, the town Of Hopefeld, just opposite the
city. It seems that some parties took a steamer
from the city wharf and carried it to the other
side of the river, where it was burned. Although
the citizens of Hopefald had nothing te do with
the affair, six hours notification was given and
the town destroyed. Such vandalism could only
Be executed BY the Abolition Yankees.
We presume this act of vandalism was per
pstrstsd in retalision for the destruction of the
tugboat Hercules, alluded to by US yesterday
This, however, will not stop the operations Of
the g~uerillas. Il win rather make them more
bold, daring and desperate.
