THE NEGRO ENLISTMENT BILL.

!Hregard TO the negro enlistment bill
wGth was before Congress some weeks a.
g, and which passed the House, the Her.
fiji remarks:
We like the idea Of rcd breecles for the
African soldier. The brilliant color will
tickle his fancy; but with yellow stripes
down the legs of the brecchcs, and rcd
coat with yellow facings, and with n red
cap and white feather, Cuff, would be
! complete. We would however, admonish
the President Of the danger of exposing
these magnificent African allies to the reb-
el guerrillas. The avera &c Of An able
bed'ed field hand in the South j. from
fifteen hundred to two thou sand dollaes in
Confederate script Put regiment or a
brigade ofsuch fellows within striking dis
tance OF Jeb. Stuart, or Forrest, or the reb.
RI Morgan, and nothing will save them
from the auction block. Perhaps the best
thing that can he done with these splendid
Africans is to put them behind the forts OF
Washington. where they can be protected.
Thus secure from dangey with General
Hooker between them and the rebel army,
these red coated soldiers Of African de-
scent may do something for the cause of
human freedom.
Let President Lincoln consider the value
III Confederate script Of an able-bodied Az
r'can, and he will be satisfied that we are
not liking in this matter. Onr so ldiers.
battling for'freedom, should not be care
l'ssly exposed 10 the chances of being
snapped up and sold into slavery.

A TRUE AND TOUCHING STORY.

we clip the following from the Fred
: crick,burg (Va.)" Christian Banner"
A young man and his wife were pre.
pairing to attcnl to Christmas party a.
the house Of friend few miles distant.
"Henry, ny dear husband, don't drink
too much at the party to-day; you will
promise me, won't you 2" said she putting
her hand on his arm AMI raising her eye,
to his face with pleading glance.
"No, Mollie, will not-you may trust
; me-"
And he wrapped his infant boy in a
| soft blanket, and they descended.
The horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation beguiled
the way,
!! Now, don. forgot your PROMISE"
whispered the young wife, as she passed
up the steps.
Poor thing! She was tie wife ofa man
Who loved to look upon the vine when
red. But his love for his wife, and their
babe, whom they both idolized, kept him
back, and it was not often that lie ioinej
In Bacchanalian revelries.
The party passed off pleasantly, tho
Time OF departing drew near, and the wife
descended from the upper chamber to JON
her husband. A pang shot through the
trusting heart as she met him, for bo was
intoxicated lie bad broken bis !ppmise.
Silently they rode home~ard safe when
The drunken man broke into vile snatches
OF song or unmeaning laughter. But tho
wife rode on, her babe pressed, closely to
her grieyed heart l..
Give me tho babe, Mollie, I cant trus.

A MOMENT OF HORROR.

We are indebted to tue Mobile Req;ster
for the following:
For twenty-three years, old Jake Will
ard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin coun.
ty, and drawn therefrom a support for self
and wife. lie is chidIess. Not long ago
Jake left the house in search of a missing
COW. Ills route led him through an, old
worn out patch Of clay land, of about. six
aores in exi>nt, in the center of which was
we'll, twenty Gre or thirty feet deep, that
at some time, probably, had furnished the
inmates OF dilapidstcd house near by
with water. In passing by this spot an
i'll wind lifted Jakc's ",ie" from his head,
and mali iously waited i, to the edge Of
the we'll and in it tumLled.
Now Jake had always practiced the. vir-
tue OF economy, and he Immediately set
about recovering tie lost hat. lie ran to
the well, and finding it was dry at the bot.
tom, he uncoiled the rore which he had
brought for the purpose of. capturing the
truant COW, and after several attempts to
catch the hat with moose, he concluded
to save tlmo by going down into the we'll
himself. 10 accomplish this, lie made fast
one end Of the rope 20 stump hard by,
aud was quickly an his way down the
we'll
! l is a fac', OF which Jake was no less
obliyious than the reader thereof, that Ned
Wells was in the dilapiJated building
aforesaid, and that an old blind horse, with
bell on bis neck, wLo had been turned
out to die, was lazily grazing within short
distance OF the well.
The devil himself or some other wicked
spirit put it into Ncd's Uranium to have
little fun; ; 60 he qui:tIy slipped up to the
horse, and unbuckling the bell strap, ap-
proachod with slow measured "!ting- a-line"
the edge Of the well.
!. Cd dang that old blind horse!" said
Jake' 'hes comm tins waNnsYre, and
. amt got no more sense than to lall in here.
Whoa, Ball"
But the continued approach of the ting
! a,hng" said just as plainly as words that
, Ball would't whoa" Besides Jake WAS
at the bottom, resting, before trying to
= "shin" it up the rope.
I Great Jcrusalem! said he, sthe old
cuss will oe atop of me before can say
: Jack Robinson. Whoa. Cd dang you,
f whoa!
. Just then, Ned drew up to the edge of
e the well, and with his foot kicked little
+ dirt to it.
: "Oh Lord 7 exclaimed J;ske, falling up
5 on his knees at the bottom, "l'm gone now
. whoa! Now l lay me down to sleep
y whoa! Ball!-I pray that Lord my soul
, to-w h-o.a, now. Oh, Lord, have mercy
s on me-"
: Ned could hold in 10 longer, and fearful
S Jake might suffer from his fright, he reveal
ed himself.
Probably Ned didn't mako tracks with
his heels from that well. Maybe Jake
i wasn't up to the top of it in short order :;
and 20" might think he didn't try every
nigh! for two wesks to get shot with his
'iGe at Ned. May be not don't know.
, But I do know that If Jack fin ds out uho
! sent you this, it will be the last sqnib you'll

FROM BEAUFORT.

The Mercury furnishes the following
news from Beaufort, which is more in de.
tail than our dispatch of yesterday MORN
ing:
We have some late and trustworthy
t'd'ngs from Beaufort, which fully confirm
the news heretofore published, of a person
al difficulty having occurred between Major
Generals Hunter and Foster. The quarrel
related to precedence in rank. and conclu-
ded by General Foster informing General
Hunter that sooner than fight under him,
he would fight against him; and suiting
the action with the word, General Il. dealt
blow in the face of General II. Gene
raj II. was not slow to assert bis bel
igerent rights, and replied by str king
General F. Oh the head with billet wood
OF drawing blood propusely. Before hos!ili
ties could be resumed tho combatanls were
separated. Foster, after ordering the de.
barka,ion of bis division on ST. Helena
Island, left for Washington to have his
position defined. Meanwhile it is curl
rently reported nt Beaufort that Hunte
will try Genesis Point and Causten's Blnff
as preliminary steps TO tho attack on Sa-
vannah, and at the same time march a.
gainst the railroad at Pocataligo; and thus,
it successful get the inside track from his
rival. The attack OH these points, it was
thought, would take placb about the lst of
March SO that we may hear some stir.
ring news in few days from the coast.
OF course every Glad" in grey is perfectly
delighted at the prospect of getting Iuda
rubber clothes and blankets, tp say moth
ing OF water proof boots, DC, &'.
We learned from the same source when
we obtained the above information, tina {
there are over 10000 troops at Port Roy,
al, and more expected.

A CHEERING SIGN.

English pape. 8 q received in New 7 o <
assure us that tue cotton warrants Of the
Confederate Government are readily nego.
table on the London Exchange. 1t will
be recolected that these bonds are promises
on the part Of our Government to deliver
certain amounts Of cotton 10 the holder of
the bond, at some Confederate port within
a specified time.
The fact that these bonds are saleable
and sought for in England, is the strongest
assurance we have had Of the confidence
OF the mercantile glasses there in our p,i
mate and early success. Still more, it is
all indication Of their belief that thepro-
gress Of the Federal arms has reacle its
utmost limit, for they are aware OF the
policy Of our Government and the deter.
Inlnat!on Of our people to destroy the cot.
ton when endangered by the approach Of
the enemy. Bonds founded upon the dc.
livery of cotton at our seaports would
sSarcely bo saleable anywhere il it was
beicYed that the enemy could possess tn
por:s, or could much longer prevent ships
from entering and conveying it away.
We think the circumstance is indicative OF
something more and better than mere re-
recognition. The confidence is Lascd up
on some authoritative assurance ,ha. the
war shall soon close and commerce return
to its regular channels.
1t is gratifying to observe that the faith
of the Conte'leracy is so much esteemed
abroad. While the securities Of the Fed.
cral Government cannot he sold at any
price, the promises of our Government are
sought for and invested in. There will
hereafter he no lack Of means for the pur'
chase Of arms and supplies, for the largest
! part Of the cotton in the Confederacy clfk
Ne purchased and devoted to that 3ur
S< Y
If cotton warrants can be sold to adva1f
tage in England, we can see no reason
why they connot be used for investmen
here, and be made available for the purpo
ses of exchange. The absorption Of til,
currency is an object at least as desirable Al
any Other, and we have no doubt tia
bonds for The deliyery of cotton would b,
sought for in preference to any other Sc
CURLY, and would prove an effect ual ab-
sorbant for an immense amount.

CLOSING OF THE WAR-Tha Richmond
Despatch takes a gloomy view Of the fu.
ture, and thinks we are not yet near tc
the beginning of the end. 1t says:
So tnr from being about TO end, we be.
lieve1hat the war is about to assume a
shape more terrible than it has ever ye,
presented. The Yankee armies were new.
er SO large as they are now, and they ney.
er threatened US at SO many important
points before. 1t ia we'll for this fact to be
throughIy understood. 1t is all impor,an,
for individuals. as well as communities.
always to look their si,uation fully in the
face, and they may know how they stand.
and What they can do in the crisis.
We shall beat the Yankees, we believe
We have always beaten them whenever
they haze given US chance. Unless in
the case OF an 'soI.'ed position-as at
Done'son and Roanoke 1sland-or Where
they have beep enubIe,t 10 bring their gu.
per'or feet to bear upon us, they have
never been able to contena with us. We
have rarely ever encouDtered them, when
they had LOT at Least three to Que. against
qs and if none Of o. = nurpernus victories
