YANKEE RAvAGEs AROUND WASHINGTON AND
SrFFoLK-The more We hear from the neighbor-
hood of Washington the more we regret the failure
of our troops to occupy the place. The people of
Beaufort, and especially those near Washington,
felt quite sure that Gen. Hill would take the place !;
and being devoted and loyal to the cause, they af
iOrded all the sympathy and aid in their power to
our troops. This has exposed them, as might have
been expected, to the vengeance of the enemy and
since the Withdrawal of our troops we learn that
the Yankees have destroyed, burnt, and ravaged at
all points in the neiehborhood of that unfortunate
town. line same result mas happened IN and around
Suffolk, in anticipation of the failure of Gen. Long.
streets movement against that place. 1t is better
to make no attempt seacoast towns, unless it
is the purpose of Generals to take and hold them
at all hazards. The true policy is to confue the
enemy as near the seacoast as possible, and mean
while protect the people on the farms and thus en-
courage them to produce bread and meat

Gloomy Views.

The leading editorial article in the Richmond En-
quirer of the oath inst, is excessively gloomy and
predicts indefinite prolongation Of the war. 1t
is calculated to encourage tue enemy to redoubled
efforts for the suhjugaton Of the South, and to
press the ardor of our troops IN resisting them
Speaking of the belief, too prevalent among our
people, that large number Of regiments belonging
to Hookers army, whose terms Of service are about
to expire, will soon disband, the Enquirer says:
"And you think they will look on idly this spring
and let their army melt away This is dream
every method, every inducement bribery, force
fraud, will now be used and employed to its utmost
capacity. 1t is not true that the enemy's govern
ment has suspended the operation of the conScrip-
ton. provost marshal general is appointed
other provost marshalS under HIM are assigned to
military districts their occupation to the present
time has been in gathering up deserters; but that
the people are not expecting to be excused from
service, IS evident from The subscription fund they
are raising in various towns to purchase the eXemp
tion of every man in the town at the price fixed by
the act-three hundred dollars This act is, in one
aspect, revenue act, and will bring immense sums
into Mr.. Chase's treasury in another aspect it is
also most stringent conscriptiQn; for every man
who has paid his three hundred dollars for exemp-
tion will have strong interest in seeing that every
one of his neighbors shall either pay serve.
But the enemy's government does not intend to
with the present disciplined army. The soldiers
whose time is about to expire will be offered, not
only the present government bounty, but tep times
thae amount if necessary. And if the government
bountieS and Chase's greepbacks be not enough,
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and every other
town In proportion, will subscribe for additional
bribes, individual merchants and firms will offer
private bOuntes. And if all that will not do why
their Congress will make lazy, or their dictator
will issue edict keeping all troops in service and
applying the penalty OF desertion to those who shall
attempt to so home"
The writer says, in conclusion: I" 1t is painful
and ungracious task to undertake to disabuse our
cOuntrymen and friends of pleasing ana sanguino
anticipations" The writer should have added the
words (which were mainly instrumental in
creating;" for the mercurial editors Of the Enqui
rer are constantly engaged in creating and dispe-
ling the most delightful illusions. They rear the
airest castles toHay, and ruthlcssly subvert them
to morrow.

to reply to its numerous charges against US, that
silence is an implied admission of the truth of its
charges. This is species Of presumption and ar
rogance on the part of that journal not little ridc
ulous. If were to notice even tithe Of what
that paper says, we should annoy our readers with
useless dsputation and at the time effect little
if any good for we could not hope to convince the
Editor of his errors, even impress him with the
importance of being fair, or truthful or candid IN
his statements. Besides, the Register has a very
small circulation, and its mSStatementS, therefore,
are not generally spread to render it necessary
to correct them.

Mr. EDIrOR With a view to encourage the
cultivation and production of grain and vegetable
crops, and to discourage the cultivation of cotton
and tobacco, and the production of any other arti.
Gle or crop exclusively for money or luxury it has
been suggested that the citizens of Granville coun-
ty be invited to attend at the Court House in the
town of Oxford, on Tuesday of May Court next it
being the 9th day of the month"; to consult together
and agree upon such measures as The exigences OF
the times suggest would best promote the interest
OF the army, and the welfare of the citizens at home
The dreadful conflict between the North and the
South has been pending so long, and with pros.
pect oil success so hopeless to boastul enemies
that, abandoning all hope of subjugating us by
means heretofore used by civilized nations engaged
in honorable warfare-not trusting to an army vast
ly superior in numbers, and to a navy which has
hlocEaded every Southern port. they propose the
last eApcdient for subiugatng this nation of free
men, the tedious but dangerous method Of starving
us into submission. Not content with elevating
the African tn their level they seek to degrade
US to the position of conquered and subject
Being advised of their policy, the duty we owe
ourselves-the high obligations under which we
rest (Which the North neither understands nor ap-
prec1ates to protect and provide for our servants
lmpel us to use every means which God has placed
in our power, to support our noble armies in the
field, and to secure ample provision and comfort for
their families at home.
The things Of greatest importance to he Observed
by us is to encourage the production of every thing
that will support life and to give confidence to the
currency Of the Confederate government, that the
necessaries of life may be bought at a price so
reasonable as to be brought within the reach of the
poorest family. That few may be unwilling to
receive Confederate money, is not unlikely; that
few may be induced to sell their liberty for mess
OF pottage, Is probable-but such are exceptions
and we sincerely believe the great mass of our peo
pie are prepared to make any and every sacrifice
Tor the successful prosecution of this war. Then
let US unite upon some plan by the adoption Of
which the duration cf the war shall he shortened,
and the achievement of dur independence rendered
more certain and no means can better aid IN the
accomplishment of this great end, than the abun-
dant supply Of provisions and other uecessaries of
life, both for the army in the field and those who
remain at home. GRANVILLE.
