HuzZa for the Women.

A gentleman recently from East Ten
nessee says that previous to the battle of
Chickamauga, the Yankees had so fa.,
by lies and Misrepresentation, induced
t~he.people to believe that Bragg's army
was destroyed and the rebellion crushed,
that great numbers Of credulous Confel-
crates expressed their willingness to sub
NIT to the yoke of Northern despotism. At
Swcetwater, Tennessee, a meeting Of citi-
liens was called to discuss the propriety
of hosting the Union flag over that
place, and only n man, DR.. Bogart,
raised his voice to denouncs the disgrace
full proposition. Several ladies of the
town, with that unqnenchable patriotism
women, declared that they would with
their w hands, tear down the Union
flag SIS often as the cravens should PSI: It
up, let the consequences be what they
might. Among these were Mrs. Bosart,
and Mrs. II. f. Smith. All honor ID
these ladies, and to DR.. Bogart. T., .
sterling loyalty to the South saved g,
community of Sweetwater from the
ma Of having by a formal pubic dec!a:
alton and act announced themselves t.le
subjugated slaves of Abraham Lincoh,
By another arrival from East Tennes-
see, we learn that Brig. Gen. Vaughn is
now at that place, with a large force of
cavalry and infantry. 1t is presumable
That the weak kneed gentlemen, who
were shamed out Of their submissionist
design by the heroism of a few cour-
agedus women, will, for a time at least,
hide their diminished heads. It would
not be very discreet in them, at all events,
to expose themselves much to the indig-
nation of the chivalric Waugh.

wise and patriotic people, who's would
help their country and their fellow men
in this time of need. In truth they
could in no way do themselves more good,
or earn for themselves more enduring
satisfaction and honor.
Will not North Carolina, which has
bsen, so far, behind no State in all efforts
to secure the independence of the Con-
federacy and ameliorate the condition of
the suffering soldiers and their families,
follow the noble example set by the peo-
] ple~of her sister States I.

IMPORTANT ARR1vAL.-The steamer Id
cance, says the Fayetteville Observer,
belonging to the State of North Carolina,
has just made her third trip into VII
mington from Bermuda. There is no i'm.
propriety in mentioning the fact, as we
learn she was chased and fred at by the
blockaders, but got in safely. 1t is sup
posed, besides her usual cargo OF clothes.
blankets and shoes for the North Carolina
soldiers, she has brought many thousand
nairs of cotton and wool raras~saheS sold
to the people of the State al cost and
charges. The sagacity of our Governor
and Legislature in thus providing for both
soldiers and people, at a probable saving
of millions of dollars in the cost, is wor.
thy of all praise.
Rev. DR.. Moses d. Hogs came a passen-
ger on the Advance. DR.. II. was sent to
Europe by the Confederate Bible Society,
to procure Bibles, &C., for the Southern
army. His mission has been highly sue
c~essful.

~ President Davis has been on a
visit to Gen. Bragg's army. He reviewed
the soldiers and works before Cha,tanoo-
ga and SO had an excellent opportunity
to scan those of the enemy, and he availcd
himself of it largely. His reception by
the troops was enthusiastic and he rode
along the entire lines in reach of the en-
emy's Shells though net a gun was open
ed on him. The. Yankees lined their
works at every available point to view
the display, and doubtless were aware OF
the presence of the President, as the
pickets hold frequent conversations. Not
known whether the President made any
changes. The army is in fine condition
apd most anxious to commence active
operations,

To Correspondents.

Persons who write to us to change the
address of the Age TO a certain Post Of
fee, and yet neglect to say FRO what P.
O., need not be surprised to find their
requests unattended to. We cannot af-
ford the time to look over five thousand
names to find one, which could be found
at a glance, if the writer had simply said
change from such a P. O. to such a one.
Let every body remember this, in order
ing a change in the address of his, or her
copy of the Age.
We have received four communications
recently, which we annot publish. One
of them contains Extensively personal re-
Elections, such as We have always refused
insertion in our columns. The writer
would do better to write to the offending
P. NJ. himself and give him a piece of his
mind, than to blazon such things through
the newspapers
Another is a lengthy account Of a trip
from Orange G. Ell. to the writer's home
in North Carolina and back to the Rapi-
dan. It's extreme length precludes the
possibility of its appearing in our paper,
in our present circumscribed limits
We would like to oblige our esteemed
! friend, but under the circumstances it is
out Of the question. We sympathise
with him and all other soldiers who are
subject to the ~.indignities, extortion and
heartlessness with which he and mis-
comrades met, and if we thought thu
publication of his article would correc
the abuse s, long as it is, we would pub
fish it. But like the fool that Solomon
tells US if brayed in a mortar will be
fool still, SO these land sharks will pre-.
5aa1heir fsllsW men. though all tn
word Should uenounce them. Let the
alone until the SOLDIERS come home t
deal with them, and then denounce them
by name, openly and boldly.
The other communications are -ebjec
tiona6le both on account of, their lengt
and of their being personal v%indication
OF the writer's. We charge ten cents pc
line for the insertion of such matter.

WHO A.E OUR ENEMIES THE Rich

WHO A"E U ENEMIES THE Rich
mond Sentinel truthfully remarks -
Those who are continually indulging in
discouraging remarks, and assailing the
confidence of u people in the manage
ment oaeour cause, must have a very
low appreciation of themselves and at
tach very little weight to their own dec
larations, if they expect no evil to result
from such conduct. AS one fruit of it,
behold the depreciation of our currency,
far below what is Justly due to its infa-
tion.s This is the work of the croakers
and grumblers, developed by the arts of
the extortioners and money grubs.

A DEGENERATE SoN-The Petersburg
Express says that major General Geo.
ii. Thomas, who fought so obstinately
under Rosecrans, at Chickamauga, is a
native of Southampton county, Va, and
was born at Jerusalem, the county seat.
1t is said that Gen. Thomas has relatives
in the county of Southampton, who are
deeply panied at the Course he has pur-
sued. He is a graduate of West Point,
and'is said to possess military ability of
a high order. The man must have a soft
place in his head, we think" T. .
A lady who resides at Jerusalem, in
forms us that Thomas distinguished him
self in the war with Mexico. and on his
return home was presented by the ladies
OF his native county with a handsome
sword. After the breaking out of the
present war, and Thomas had determined
to take sides against the South, he wrote
to his sister to send him that sword
Tho true-hearted, patriotic woman replied
that he could net have a sword presented
by the women Of Virginia to turn against
their brave fathers, sons and brothers
who were fighting in defence of the land
whose. birthplace he had disgraced.-
And that instead of sending the sword
to him, she would prefer seeing it thrust
through his traitOrous heart.

~ Judge Bailey, in his charge to
the Grand Jury of Wilkes county, said
he believed, upon authority, that we're it
not for the great number Of deserters
from the Confederate army, conscripts
between 40 and 40 would not have been
called out, and that it is the interest as
we'll as duty of all good citizens to re-
turn deserters to their posts, to the end
that the Government may not be COM
PEELED to extend still further the conscript
ages.

NoKFoLK.-The Petersburg Express
says that the city of Norfolk, Va, has
been evacuated by the enemy. 1t is ev-
ident that Lincoln is getting scarce of

few. He is compelled to withdraw the
garrison troops to reinforce his armies in
the field.
