Whereas, it is well known that there is a
most lamentahle deficiency of Ministerial

that there is at present a great and increas-
ing call for preaching, the manifest presence
OF the Holy, Spirit, and o promise Of more
than usual success. The committee Of Do
nestle Missions would recommend the adop-
tibn of the following resolutions:
1st, That from among the younger and
more active members Of this Presbytcrv,
four classes DC formed, consisting offour or
five each.
End, That each Of these classes spend one
month in l~atoring among the soldiers.

exported to Nassau, andpay in Yankee goods,
including limitations of foreign liquors and
genuine New England rum, transformed to
take the place of Jamaica, in foreign barrels,
pipes, cases and labels complete. One firm
In New York, during the past year, is said to
nave made 50, 900, 900 by this Southern
trade, besides the Nassau partner realizing
the same amount. 1t is shrewdly suspected
that the Yankee authorities and feet connive
at this trade, as it is the only means of get
ting cotton and protracting the war. AS to
the policy Of permitting the export of cotton,
to pay for either Yankee or foreign liquors,
or in fact for any other kind of goods, except
those alluded to in my former article, I must
give my unqualified dissent, and | believe
that the good citizens of this State and this
Confederacy will fully agree with me.
In reference to the same alleged evil, S. L.,
the Knoxville Registers" correspondent,
says:
There is a feet of vessels constantly ply
ing between Mobile and HAVANA. Their trips
are as regular as in times of peace, and their
cargoes much the same. They 90 out with
cotton, foreign exchange and gold, and return
freighted with cigars, rum and fancy goods!
Here at Meridian, the railway trains rush
ever onward to Mobile freighted with cotton
bales to be sent thence to Cuba, to return in
rum casks, Spanish cigars, and Lowell prints.

Goth at ten o'clock, and the enemy captured
a small force of ours at Strawberry Plains,
burnt the bridge, the depot buildings, some
private houses, &c. They proceeded to New
Market and Messy Creek on Sunday, where
they burnt the Railroad bridge, tore up the
track, cut the wires, &c. On Monday, be-
tween Messy Greek and Morristown, they
were confronted by Generals jackson and
Pegram, who, it is rumored and believed,
] took their artillery, routed them, &c.
, Another dispatch tells us Of a cavalry
skirmish at Alexandra, Tenn, en- the. 18th,
the same party probably that appeared at
knoxville on the GOTH. The enemy were
driven back with some loss at Alexandria, by
our forces. No loss on our side.
A despatch from jackson, dated June 22d,
says General Ruggles, with his cavalry, over
took the Yankee raiders near Rocky Ford, on
the Tallahatchie, to-day, when a severe en-
gagement ensued, resulting in the capture of
thirty prisoners, two pieces OF artillery, and
the entire baggage,and ammunition train OF
the enemy, together with a large amount Of
provisions stolen from citizens. The enemys
loss in killed was eighty. Ourloss small.
General Grant sent a flag Of truce to.Gen-
eral jackson, yesterday, asking permission
to remove his wounded left at Edwards De.
pot after the fight at Batteries Greek, which
was allowed after which they were duly ex
changed.

The Legislature is to convene in this city
on the 30th inst, pursuant to Proclamation
by Gov. Vance. The chief business before
it will be to decide whether the State will
receive . the early issues of Confederate
notes for public taxes or not. We agree
with our neighbor, the Daily Progress, in
the opinion that the dhty of our Legislature
is plain. Let it declare that there will be no
discrimination in Confederate currency, in
North Carolina, in payment Of taxes or any
thing else, and call upon the Confederate
Congress, the Virginia Legislature and the
Richmond Banks to revoke their action.
North Carolina can with safety and proprie-
ty.do this, and her influence in the Confed-
eracy is such that the step would go far
towards restoring confidence in the currency
all over the country. If our Legislature should,
however, follow the insane policy of Virginia,
and refuse certain issues for taxes, the panic
will, spread and. the whole cnurrency will
receive a blow from which it may not recoy-
err. We trust that Wiseg=eounsels-

NEAR FREDERIcKsBURG. VA

NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, VA, June 18th.
Mr.. EDIroR: This will inform you that we are now
in the memorable vicinity Of fredericksburg. We
came here nine days ago, and took 20 car position on
the lines Immediately below the village. The enemy
were across the river in our front ~fortifyin g with all
might. We lay thus for eight days, our pickcts and
those of the enemy confronting each other at a dis
lance of not more than four hundred yards. | should
here remark that the ground to our front was an
open valley to the Stafford hills beyond the river;
and the yankee camps and for,ilications were open to
eur view.
Night before last, a continual crossing was heard
over their %pontoons, and we lay in readiness all night,
expecting an attack in the morning. But, behold,
when the mornings light dawned, they had al left
this side, except a few s~tragglers who were captured
by our men. They left a number Of articles behind
and, among them, some guns which showed that
their retreat was hurried. Lhey had constructed
formidable breast-works, and BAD mounted ten pieces
of artillery upon them. Whether the whole affair
was a feint, or ONE ~exigency caused them to with
draw, IS not known. Their balloons were up fire.
quently all day yesterday. Isuppose they were anx-
ious to know how their withdraw al aHected our forces.
Of course some change was made along our line
We moved a short distance last evening. -
Although this is a hillycountry, yet we have sorry
water here, and the health Of our Regiment is dccli-
ming since we came here, though | hope We viii fare
better when we become used to the water and cli-
mate. The portion of the army that [ have seen here
are IN fine order and spirits. ]. JIM,

Rev. R. j. GRAVES CAsE.-We see it sta
ted that the grand Jury Of the Confederate
Court at Richmond refused to find a true bill
against Rev. R. j. Graves whs was charged with
treason. Mr. Graves was first arrested and
charged with treason on the testimony ofa
returned Confederate prisoner, who stated
that he heard a conversation between Mr..
Graves and the Yankee officer in the enemy's
camp, in which the former gave the latter
informationin regard to the defence Of Rich
mond. The letter which Mr.. Graves wrote
from Orange county, n. O., to the Richmond
Enquirer for publication, had nothing to do
with his arrest, as many enormously suppose.
The Confederate soldier who brought the
accusation against Mr.. Graves we presume
was mistaken. At any rate we are gratified
that Mr. Graves has been able to establish
his innocence Charlotte Democrat.

have we been able to give our readers more
interesting, important ndcheering news than
is contained in this No. of the Age. And il the
successes here recorded be followed up and
completed, as we have good reason to believe
they will be, the epoch will have arrived
when this bloody struggle will be brought to
a close-and victory and independence will
be the. noble prizes achieved by Southern
valor, skill and intrepidity.
1t will beseen by reference to other COL
umns, that Banks, after sustaining Immense
losses. at Port Hudson, has raised the seige
and given up the capture of the place as a
bad job.
The news from Vickshurg is of the most
cheering kind. 1t will be seen by the accounts
in this paper, that on the Goth inst, the en-
envy made another furious assault on our
works, which after a protracted and desper-
ate struggle, resulted in a complete victory
to our arms-the enemy losing, it is said,
from seven to ten thousand men. The yam

than in any other during the siege. Their
men are greatly demoralized and very much
depressed. They call Vicksburg a slaughter
pen, and are down on Grant for attempting
impossibilities.
We announced last week the capture of
Winchester and the greater portion of MIL
roy's army there, together with immense
amounts of stores, guns, ammunition, &C., by
Gen. Ewells army. Since then, he has cap
tured Martinsburg, caused the enemy to
e~vacuate Harper's Ferry, and has carried his
victorious hosts even into Maryland and
Pennsylvania, spreading terror and dismay
through all yankeedoodledom. See further
accounts in other columns.
A portion of Burnside's forces has made a
raid into Tennessee. Knoxville was attack
ed by a considerable force on the Goth inst.
which force, however, was repulsed by our
forces stationed there. They left without
doing any damage but on the line of the
Railroad East of Knoxville, they burnt the
bridges, tore up the road, destroyed the wires,
burnt and robbed private houses, &c. But
they were finally overtaken, and after a sharp
engagement, their artillery taken, and the
raiders routed and dispersed, eur forces pur-
suing.
The raiders left Knoxville on Saturday the

FOR THE SPIRIT OF TIE ACE.

Mr.. EDTroR 1t is a pity that our Legislature did
not make green fruit one of the interdicted articles
in the prohibition (distillery) bill, for surely the he'll
lish stuff itself, which has caused thousands of our
noble sons to, fall and crushed the fond hopes Of many
loving wives, mothers and sisters, is. the curse We
have most to fear Yes, many OF our brave dcfcn-
ders who never tasted the poisonous stuff, have been
brutally murdered through its,baneful influence upon
whiskey sucking officers and Doctors. Shameful dis
grace to an army of sacrificing patriots!
