WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT!-A night or two since, some scamp burglarously entered our once and broke open drawer in the desk, in which we kept our shinplasters. The fellow stole two or three hundred dollars, about third of which was good. The remainder were "shins" of all de- nominations, of all issues, colors and descriptions We were often puzzled to know what to do with these things, and wondered how we could get rid of them. The scamp has saved the trouble, and we would like to know who it was to see what he will Go with them We pity him.

 The end is almost accomplished. It will not do to falter now We struck for independence, and oceans of blood has been spilled and untold suffering endur- cd to achievc it. Nothing but independence will satisfy us and this the northern people are fast learn

The Sitilati.u.

It was rum)red here last week that Bragg and Longstrcet had fought and whipped Rosencranz, near Murfreesboro This grew out of the fact that such battle was supposed to be imminent, and was stated by the papers. The newsmongers took it for granted that the battle had been fought and the victory won. So too, we had report of the re-secesson of Kentucky, which grew out of the introduction of certain resolutions in the Ky. legislature, which We publish elsewhere. The northwestern States growing restive, and are beginning to clamor for peace. Some of their pa pers yet profess to believe that reconstruction is possible, but that silly idea will soon explode.
 Photographic accounts received just before going to press, give the latest glorious from Charles ton and the North.
 It was rumored here that, during stormy tight, an abolition gunboat had succeeded in passing Vicksburg and was now in the river below that point. This is doubtful, boat could hardly pass six miles Of batteries without being discovered The enemy have erected a battery six miles below Vicksburg, on this side of the river, and the main body of their forces latest accounts, this side A month ago, McClernand gave notice that he would be prepared to commence the attack on the 10th inst, but the weather will, no doubt set him back a week or ten days, so that it would not surprise us if things about that city remained quiet for week or two longer.
 Banks had sent fleet to retake Galveston, but Magruder had that city so well fortified, that the aboltionsts were chary of undertaking the job Sabine Pass in Texas, was retaken by the Cqnied- crates and the enemy driven off, leaving some yes sels and hundred prisoners in our hands. Banks has sent for spades and pick axes, and seems to be 'preparng for d long siege of Port Hudson.
 Everywhere the enemy are held at bay The successes are all with the southern armies. Each advance of the foe, whether by land or water is cepused. Meanwhile disertion and diseasa arc tfinding the ranks of the invader and as time rolls on, his situation becomes mere hopeless and des perr4e. If Lincoln tries another draft to recrun his armies it will be resisted and call of the: mil itia will not be responded to. We think w. can zee the beginning of the end, and are true to oi-selyes for short time, the baffled enemy will ,s1,es.;1 discomforture and disgrace.

The following paragraph is from an edi-
tOrial in the Raleigh IN. c. Progress of
the 18th inst, arebel paper Of high posi-
ton and much influence:
"The great number Of the enelny's
forces and the multitude Of their shipping
make it easy for them to carry on stimuli
t~aneously all these operations, and they do
not care for delay, forit is our people who
are suffering, not theirs. The longer this
style of warfare lasts the greater will be
the mass of plumber carried north, the
more our mills, machine shops, and rail-
roads they win have destroyed, the more
Of our national resources they will have
ruined and wasted, and the better chance
they will have for an irresistible advance
at last. They are in no hurry. Last year
indeed there was urgent haste to get the
rebellion crushed in thirty days or in
ninety. Now We hear much less Of that
vehement urgency; and the whole Yankee
nation seems to have laid out its accounts
for war as the settled business Of life.
rather than consent to peace and separa-
ton. They are perfectly willing to fight
upon the present system for twenty years
or forty. They are willing during all
AAdL l4ue " ~ oA submitting 10 Eucl de-
feats as they have sustained al Fredericks-
burg and on the Rappahannock, because
by these defeats they lose not a foot of
grOund-they lose nothing but men, and
men are Of less value to them than to us.
One thousand gallant Southern lives lost
70 us are i'll balanced by the killing of five
thousand Of their base hirelings. Jackson
alone IS a dearer loss to us than Hooker
and his whole one hundred and fifty thous-
ana would be to them, and they speculate
that 1t may be Lees turn next or Long
streets, and that at any rate they are kill
ing US slowly OF, they are, in the mean
time, stealing much and running more, and
their women and children are safe at
home, many Of them dressed better than
ever before in the spOils of our homes,
while Confederate women and children are
routed out Of house and home and chased
like wild beasts. In short if we can
endure this wal for the next half century
they can, and they will wish US Joy Of our
victories and our glory. We urge nothing
suggest nothing-hint nothing-only
state the facts. Such is the policy Of the
enemy-sueh is his calculations-such is
his interest and intent"
