Though full Of business; undoubtedly
when n the stafof Gen. G.: W. Smith,
web i'd heard but little from our valued
I friend and fellow-citizen, until recently,
when we were gratifed to learn of his
appointment to a high position in Rich
mond, in the Adjutant and Inspector
3 Generals Department, with the same
rank, it is true, but proud assurance
that superior merit alone could have
won for him SO important a post, as it
is in the regular Army, and not made
through faYoritism or caprice, as are
most of the General appointments of
Sethe times. We would, in common with
3 many friends, be glad to have him with
us, but as he is doing his best to pro-
mote the interest of the whole Confed-
@eraey, we can only look for his old fa-
smiiia shake, with the gladstone smiles
of peace, till then we shall watch his
career with an abiding interest.

Our Enrolling Officers and Surgeons
and the Skulkers.

dQS4 VIC ahS2hS30s p,
War is now, by necessity and the law Of
sell. preservation, the occupation Of the peo.
pie ofthe Confederate States. War, vigor-
Gus, energetic war, is the only road to Peace,
and the only mode Of achieving our Iude-
pendence Active, untiring, yigilant pre-.
paration is the business Of the hour. And
the success or failure Of the coming cam.
paign, upon which SO much dependsof Of veal
or Of woe, is very much bound up in the
earnest, timely and conscientious exertions
of the officers charged with the execution
of the conscript Law and with the collection
I of stragglers absent from their posts of fdu2
ty. The public eye should now be intently
fixed upon enrolling officers and surgeons
detailed on this vital service. Trifers and
pleasure seekers in such positions should
be made to feel the frown of every commu-
nifty where their idleness or ineficiency is
practised. Surgeons who examine in mood
of good natured accommodation to ailing
competents, and soothe their consciences BY
the satisfaction they give, should be taught
by public opinion the wrongs they perpe-
trate on their country wrestling for life in
dreadful struggle. And what words of
contumely and scorn can be too strung for
those who, capable of striking for the right
10 such cause, skulk and dodge, and de-
prive the country of defence to the whole
extent of their own capacity to.fgbt. Let
the women of the country drive them forth.

Last summer we noticed the reception at
the Libby prison of New York Yankee
Major, on charge alleged against him Of
pillaging the property of Mr.. Lewis Wash
ington, of Jefferson county, and stealing
therefrom an original picture of Geo. Wash
ington, by Steuart. The major was paroled
and sent home on condition that the picture
should be returned. The picture arrived
by the flag Of truce boat of Saturday, and
was delivered into the hands Of Captain

Winder to be restored to its owner.

REoApTURE OF NEW ORLEANs.-The

the down -trodden city Of New Orleans from
its Yankee prosecutors is not only possible
but probable at an early day. It argues
that the capture Of the Queen of the West
and Indianola has placed the means of 80.
great an achievement in our power. Should
the last named boat be saved from wreck
and repaired, we shall have force sufficient
to go in pursuit Of the Essex, which,is, we.
believe, the Only iron-clad boat the Yam
KEGS have below Port Hudson: With this
vessel in our possession, the remainder Of
the enemy's feet, allwooden craft, together
with New Orleans, would fall an easy prey

Proclamation by the President.

FrOCluudtIou ny tno 1EoS4ooA1'
It is meet that, as people who acknowl.
edge the supremacy Of the living Gody we
should be ever mindful of our dependence
on Him; should remember that to Him
alone can We trust for our deliverance that
to Him is due devout thankfulness for the
signal mercies bestowed on US, and that by
prayer alone can We hope to secure the con-
tinued manifestation of that protecting care
which has hitherto shielded US in the midst
of trials and dangers.
In obedience to His precepts, we have
from time to time been gathered together
with prayers and thanksgiving, and He has
been graciously pleased to hear our suppli'
cations, and to grant abundant exhibitions
of His favor to our armies and our people.
Through many conflicts We have now at.
tanned a place among the nations which
commands their respect; and to the enc
mics who encompass us around and seek oul
destruction, the Lord of Hosts has again
taught the lesson of His inspired word,
that the battle is not to the strong, but to
whomsoever He willeth to exalt.
Again our enemy, with loud boasting Of
the power of their armed men and mailed
ships, threaten us with subjugation, and
with evil Vaccinations seek, even in oul
own homes and at our own fresides, to per.
vert our men servants and our maid servants
into accomplices of their wicked designs.
Under these circumstances, it is my priv
ilege to invite you once more to meet to-
gether, and to prostrate yourselves in hum
bic supplication to Him who has been oul
constant and never failing support in the
past, and to whose protection and guidance
we trust for the future.
To this end i, Jefferson Davis, President
of the Confederate States of America, dc
issue this, my proclamation, setting apart
Friday, the twenty.seventh day of March,
as day Of fasting, humiliation and prayer,
and I do invite the people ofthe said States
to repair on that day to their usual places
of public worship, and to join in prayer tc
Almighty God that He will continue Hi

GEN. PILLOW AND THE PRESIDENT
Gen. Pillow recently made speech to plan
ters in Alabama, to induce them to permit
their slaves to enter Government employ
as teamsters, etc. To show that he was not
asking them to make sacrihces that he him
self would NOT make, he told of his own
losses-400 negros, four gin houses worth
$40, 900 each, 100000 pounds of bacon,
1000 hogs, 500 head of cattle, his houses
and plantations destroyed and desolated,
and 2100 bales of his Cotton burned by his
own Government.
lie stated that Gen. Sherman had writ
ten him letter, couched IN very polite
language, offering to return his negros to
him, and to indemnify him for all his losses,
if he would abandon the Confederate SER
vice. His answer was:
"General, whilst thank you for your
courteous letter, let me say to you, the
property your Government has taken from
me was my own. Your Government has
the power to rob me Of it, but it is too poor
to buy me" Concerning President Davis,
he said: "The President is the very man
yfor,the position he holds; ifhe cannot con-
duct sus through this revolution, no man
could !; he is man Of delicate form, but Of
large brain and patriotic heart, and emf.
nently qualified in every respect for the
Chief Executive of this Confederaoy." AL
though he thought the President had not
done him justice, yet he preferred him for
President to any other man. We were not
now fighting for President Davis, nor for
any other man, but for our rights as free
men; and as for himself be would, if he
had it to do over, vote for Jefferson Davis
for President, if be knew that he would
place him in dungeon during the war.
The Southern Christian Aauocate says
such remarks evince noble and uuselfish
patriotism, that sets the country above self,
and we take pleasure in recording them and
recommending them to the notice Of what
ever selfish churl may be looking to his own
gain and honors, rather than to his country's
veal -

Tbe Defence ~ Charleston.

The Defence OF Charleston.
Mr.. Editor: The proposition of Capt.
J. P. Thomas to raise corps to. assist in
the defence of Charleston commends itself
to an enthusiastic response. One hundred
volunteers have responded to the appeal
These have done we'll. Let the number be
promptly increased. We have reason to
affirm that this movement is regarded use
full and important. It has the sanction of
the Governor and of General Beauregard.
Whilst it is not wise at this time to call
men en- m,asse from the plough, and thus
damage the. agricultural prospects Of the
State, all who can be- spared from their
pursuits should certainly organize to meet
the threatened onset. This We submit is
the dictate at once of duty and of interest.
The rathless foe should be met at the thres-
hold by those who intend to meet him at
all. Let it not be said that the defence of
Charleston was less complete, and the dis
comfture of the enemy less thorough be-
cause the men of Carolina failed to respond
to the urgent call of the commanding off,
Ger. Nor let it be supposed that thspoye.
ment is unoalled for. tt. is emphatically
demanded. 1t is very probable that the
city will be assailed, and volunteers for the
occasion are needed and auiN be highly ac.
cepta5ze to the General Commanding
Nor need it be thought that volunteers will
be unnecessarily detained in camp. They:
will not be summoned down until the attack
is imminent, and will be dismissed when
the affair is ended. Under these circum.
stances can the high spirited men of the
State, not now in Confederate service, hesi-
tate to step forward to assist in beating back
the threatened waves Of invasion? Good
Enfield Rifles, belonging to our good old
State, are ready for the hands of those man
ly and willing enough to seize and use
them.
After New Orleans fell every effort was
rut forth to mitigate the disaster. In the
case of Charleston let us avert the possibil.
ity of disaster by unanimous efforts in ad-
vance Let every man be prepared to do
his duty. VOLUNTEER.
