WHEREAs Information has reached this Con

negroes as soldiers in the armies of the United
States, which armies are to be engaged in the
further invasion of the Confederate States of
America, and, whereas the Cons t,tution both
OF the Confedsr ate States and of the United
States recognizes Africans and their decenden,s
as property, and whereas, we cannot consent to
any change in their political status and condition

ency of bringing in bill, providing the proper
prisons for the disposition of all negroes or
mulatoes who may be captured from the ene-
my in such manner, that those of them who are
tugitives from their masters may be returned

The late attack upon Fort Donelson.-
Through letter of a participant in the attack
published in the Shelby Vile Rebel Banner, we
learn some interesting particulars of the af-
fair
ltseeE1s that on the evening of the Sd inst.
Gen. Forrest beng in the vicinity of Fort Don
elson learned that the garrison of that post con
sisted oaly of some twelve hundred men. Hav
ing with him between seven and eight hund-
red cavalry, he determined to assault the place
at once.
Dividing his forces, Gen. Forrest made q
simultaneous attack at two points. At the first
charge the enemy was at both points driven
within his fortifications and followed by our
troops into the town. But after a three hours
fight against superior numbers who had tho ad
vantage os ent. encssrnents, Gen. Forrest deeuI'
this discrimination by the information that
my from Fort Henry. A handsome brass
field piece was taken by Geperal Wharton's
command, who made the attack and entered
the town near the river. The same troops
captured and destroyed large new ferry boat
laden with povender. The other results ofthe
expedition were the killing and wounding of
over fifty Of the enemy, the capture OF nearly
hundred prisoners and a number Of wagons,
am balances, and small arms. Onr whole loss,
as previously stated, was only ninety eight. The
casualties on our side were marvelously few
considering the fact that for three full hours
our troops were exposed to a battery of field
pieces and to the enemy's sharpshooters, who
kept up a continuous fire from rifle pits and the
windows Of the houses.

The following summary of the result of Gener
al Bragg's campaigns in Kentucky and Tennes
see, taken from correspondent Of the Colum-
bus Enquirer, by the Wilmington Journal,
places the fame of General Bragg upon an en-
viable eminence. Impatience Of grand results,
without looking TO the adequacy of the means
in his hands, has been the source OF great IN.
Justice to that officer. Hereafter, when calm
reflection takes the place of hasty censure, Ge.
eral Bragg's name will be cherished as one of
the brightest ornaments of our military histo-
ry: @ as#@ s =

Recon straUct the Union! Yes with fetters forg-

diers, who under God have fought and won
your glorious victories and from the dark dun
geons and pestiential prisons where tyranny
has had them in durance vile amidst inhuman
insults and privations. 9-<5
Reconstruct the Union! Yes and lay it's new
foundations deep in the blood-s.ained soil of
your desolated homes Of the whitened bones
of your couutrymen murdered upon the battle
fields of their own, their native land and cement
ed with the clott ed gore of fathers, husbands
sons and brothers, poured out in defence of
freedom-of justice-and of truth.
Rebuild 1T! From the violated graves of your
honored dead, from the desolated hcarth.stones
where only memory OF departed loved ones
now may linger, frem the ruined temples and
desecrated alars of our one living and true God
where we and our fathers worshlpped; beside
whose pastures green we hoped to have led our
children, and when the work Of life was closed
beneath whose quite church~yards to have laid

there awaiting the arch angels trump to bid

RAISE WHEAT AND Corn. 1t is to be hoped
that every farmer snd planter of the South who
has spark of patriotism will abstain from the
cultivation of cotton and tobacco and give ev-
cry acre of the soil to the production of Corr,
Wheat, Peas, Potatoes and every description Of
food for man and beast. Even in mercenary
point ef v:ev-and it is humiliating that this
has become in these times 500 common prin.
clple OF action these productions will pay better
than any others. The man who raises cotton
and tobacco now is not only aiming blow as
the Independence OF his country, but at what
perhaps he values more his own interests
The only enemy we have to fear is the sacri-
fee Of the common good to Individual greed.
One more year of self denial and in all prob
q bility the South can return to the cultivation
of it's peculiar staples with safety and profit
