q. e. sgengsegas a PROPHET.

It is well known that the present Vice Pres
ident OF the Confedcracy made aspeech strong
IL opposed to secession, in the Georgia Con-
~vention of January, 1861. The following ex-
tracts will show how clearly he perceived the
~iniquity, and foresaw the results Of the meas
ure:
THAT this step once taken, could never be
recalled, and all the baneful and whitening
consequences that must follow Gas they would
see,) will rest on the Convention for all ON
ing time. When we and our p~osterity shall
see our lovely South desolated by the demon
Of war which this act Of yours will inevitably
invite and call forth when our green fields
of waving harvests shall be trodden down by
the murderous soldiery and fiery car Of war
sweeping over our land our temple Of JUS
tice laid in ashes all the horrors and desola-
ton Of war upon us; who but this Conven-
ton will be held responsible for it And who
but him who shall have given his vote for this
unwise and ill-timed measure Gas honestly
think and beIieve) shall be held to strict &C
eount for this suicidal act, by the present gen
~ar.tion, and probably cursed and eNecrated
by p~0sterity for all coming time, for the wide
and das0lating ruin that will follow this act
you now propose to perpetrate.
Pause, / entreat you, and consider for a mo-
ment what reason you can give that will even
satisfy yourselves in calmer moments-what
reasons you can give to your fellow-suferers
IN the calamity that it will bring upon us ?
What reasons can you give to the nations OF
the earth to justify it? They will be the calm
and deliberate judges in the case! And to
what cause or one overt act can you name or
point, Oh which to rest the plea OF justilica-
ton? What right has the North assailed?
What Justice has been denied ? and what claim
founded in justice aud right has been with
held? Can either OF you to-day name one
Governmental act Of wrong, deliberately and
purposely done by the Government Of Wash
ington, Of which the South has a right to com
plain? I challenge the answer
x x X * j = x x
Now. for you to attempt to overthrow such
a Government as this, under which we have
lived more than three quarters OF a century,
in which we nave gained our wealth, our
standiu@ as a nation, our domestic safety while
the elements of peril are around us, with
peace and tranquility accompanied with I'M
bounded prosperity and rights unassaiied-is
the hight Of madness, folly and wickedness,
to which ! can neither lend my sanction nor

We have received a copy Of Hunts GIer-
chaat$ WJg0zjne for April. The leader for
the month is an able paper on the past and
future of the West, in which the writer argues,
from facts deducted from statistical return Of
the census, that by the time another decenni-
al enumeration viii be made, the West will
have taken one more progressive step, and
have become not only the granary of the
world, but the seat of manufacture for this
country, at least. The writer says:
Thus the golden period for the West has
arrived the East having nolonger advantage
over her, and the usual employment for CAPT
tai being cut off, to o great extent, we shall
soon find her expanding in this new direction,
and furnishing not only food bat clothing for
the world, Her fertile soil, aided by machi-
merry, can, with the same amount OF manual
labor, furnish a larger surplus of food than
any other region; while her raw materials,
hermineraIshe r watercourses and her railroads,
all combine with cheap food to make the
West the region for the cheapest possible pro-
duction of manufactures. The fruits Of her
rich soil will then find a market, not only di-
rectly, but also in the shape Of goods. Eng
land now imports food and material from the
West and combining them with English la
Dor, furnishes goods for the supply Of the
world. The Eastern States have also, in the
same way, gained great wealth. But now
the West is about to do that business for her
seIf-combining with her own labor, material
and food, and thereby becoming the centre OF
manufacturers.

brother will fail Of getting it unless 1t goes by

Certainly, certainly" replied MIR. Cram,
feeling such a relief in learning that her IN
terest in the welfare of our soldiers was on
w on behalf of a brother, that, if you'll believe
me, he proposed then and there,
'.VVhat do you mean?" said the WIDOW
taken entirely by surprise, 10 tell you the
truth she never had thought OF approprlatlng
him to herself, only Of helping parcel hum out

become sufficiently acquainted to decide on
which she was. But when she came to be-
lieye her ears, being always quick to tnnk
and quick to act, she concluded she lnighI as
we'll be sacrificed on this altar of domestic
bliss as anybody, and consented. Inc &c

So widow Hazel presently laid aside her
black Grape bonnet and put on one OF white
Grape, which was vastly more becoming, and,
as you will admit, very nearly the same thing,
reither being a color, abstractly considered.
To the delight of us all she lives at Meadows
to this very day. Dot is no loser by this ar
rangement; on the contrary she gets twice
as much petted. But Mr.. Cram has given up
his pipe entirely. Not that Mrs. Cram dis
likes the odor of tobacco, only the smoke
made her cough.
Now widow Hazel was noways prettier,
wiser or more desirable than the girls Mr.,
Cram had never thought of falling in love
with because they had always lived at Mead
ows.
This shows all persons Of teachable DISPOSE
lions that, feeling that they would be able to
accomplish more good in a married than a
single state, yet hitherto falling to meet with
an acceptable call into that field, they should
forthwith try the effect of a new sphere OF ac-
ton and new faces.

NEW YORK, May 10.
The following are the latest rebel reports
in the Richmond papers:
JACKSON, Miss, May 11.-Eleven of Grants
cavalry entered and burned Crystal Springs,
on the New Orleans railroad, to-day, at II
o'clock. The enemy are fortifying at Rock
Springs and Western Springs. Gen. Oster-
Ihaus is at Cayuga with 3, 900 cavalry andsix or
seven regiments of Infantry. The enemy are
reinforcing at Willow Springs and Rocky
Springs, from the river. Grant VIII probably
advance east, and not direct to VIcksburg."
''VIoKsBURG, May 11.-Nothing OF import
ance~ transpires to-day. A barge loaded with
coal ran past the batteries last night. The
enemy's fleet above the city is increasing"
CHARLEsroN, May 12.-The steamer Brit

the blockade. She started from Nassau on
Thursday in company with the steamer Nors-
man, which has not yet been heard from"

sTuLLAHoMA, Tenn, May 12.--General
Braoo reviewed the Northern Alabama troops
Yesterday. He addressed them briefly in
Highly complimentary terms. He gave q
spirited and encouraging account OF the stu
alton in front, and expressed the ardent hope
that they may meet an attack from the enc
my. He leaves to-day to inspect the front.
All is quiet"
The Richmond Enquirer has a savage arti-
Gle on Burnside for his order against spies and
traitors at home, and condoles with Vallan-
digham in his persecution.
Richmond papers say there is no doubt that
Jackson's wound was inflicted by the mistake
of his own men. He received three balls in
the left arm and hand. This occurred after
dark on Saturday. Having given orders to
fire on anything coming up the road, before
he left the lines and on seeing Federal Skin
mishers before him, he turned to retreat, and
was shot by his own men. His funeral was
very largely attended by JEFF. Davis, the reb~
Ell Cabinet, &c. His body was sent to Lex
~ington. A statue is to be erected in the cap
itol.
Unreliable rumors are going the rounds, of
a great land and naval battle at Vicksburg.

4 brilliant little exploit was performed
Yesterday. Parties of rebels had been APP
preaching our lines near Cripple Creek, com
inc from the BradyviIle road from Dug Hol-
low, and telling the people they were anxious
to see the Yankees. Taking with him two
companies Of Tennessee cavalry, his escort
and half a dozen officers from Crafts brigade,
in all about eighty men, Gen. Palmer rode
but a few miles, and came upon eighty Of the
Sd Georgia cavalry, Lieut.. Col. Thompson,
posted in a lane, Not waiting to fire. Palmer
aud his men Immediately charged them with
sabres. The rebels broke and fled to the
nearest woods, and there fought bravely Tor
some time, until the superior prowess OF our
BOYS compelled them to fly, losing several
killed and wounded, and eighteen prisoners.
Our loss is FIVE wounded. Among theprison-
ers taken was Capt. NJ. G. Edwards Of the Sd
Georgia cavalry.

Muscatiue county, Iowa, never does things
by halves. A large proportion other brave and
hardy sons have volunteered to battle Tor the
country-and they have done it nobly, as the
history of the war will show-her ladies have
not only answered every call made upon them
fol the benefit and comfort Of her soldiers, but
they are continually devising and perfecting
plans for the further amelioration OF the con-
dition of those patriotic fellows.
The latest and most novel enterprise that
promises 10 be beneficial in their hands, IS a
pic mic to plant thirty acres of land with po-
tatoes for the use of the soldiers. Mr.. Little,
Of Muscatine, has literally donated the use OF
the land, and to-day Thursday the planting
is to be done-the ladies furnishing the re-
froshments for the men after thea4abor is con-
cluded. Here is a glorious example for all
other counties in the West to emulate.

National wealth.

Hunts MerchantS Magazine for May, has
in it a valuable and timely article, showing
the present accumulations and nationalincome
Of the United States, thus demonstrating the
ability of the country to pay its war debt, and
taxation. In fact twill be seen by one of the
tables we give, that the yearly income Of the
nation was in 1860, from the sources indicated,
about two thousand millions, and the writer
does not pretend to have enumerated every
source of revenue. The investments in pro-
ductive personal property have been as fol-
lows at the periods mentioned -

From the foregoing tables it will be seen
that during the last sixty years there has
been an accumulation Of very nearly 5l6,00O,-
600, coo, with an increase OF income from
eighty six millions to nearly two thousand
millions. IN fact, it appears that thrco-fourths
Of this accumulation and increase OF income
has been made during the last twenty years.
1t is evident, therefore, that the power oil pro-
duction has received an immense impulse in
the present century. The following this wri-
ter states to be the leading causes for this rap
id accumulation F.
LIST, the cooperative power Of capital, which
has in this country been carried to atar great
er extent than in any other. All the savings
Of almost all classes instead Of being buried
in metallic boards, have been combined and
applied to enterprises which have given value
to labor by making it more available; End,
the invention of steam transportation, which
has virtually multiplied capital bycansing its
more rapid conversion Bird, pumberless inven-
tons which nave so multiplied the products
Of Industry as for instance, the cotton gin,
with which the hand that was able formerly
to pick but one pound of cotton a day can
now pick four hundred pounds 4th, the album
