Morris Island.

The Impression seems almost general that
the safety of Charleston depends entirely upon
our holding Morris Island and that any sacri-
hce OF life should be made, ere it is abandoned.
We do not concur in this opinion. It is true
Fort Sumter was reduced in part by batteries
erected by US on Cummings Point, but every
one who is familiar with these localities knows
that no battery can be erected on Morris Is
land sufficiently near Fort Sumter, but must
be subjected to the control of that fortress
Batteries Gregg and Wagner are both under
the guns OF Sumter, and the amount of metal
that would be concentrated these points
would render it both uncomfortable and hazard
ors sSy .na Yankees to erect guns of such size
as TO do material injury but Sumter is not the
only battery that commands Morris Island and
If it should be abandoned as a military necess
ty, (Which we do not believe) the Yankees
Will discover they have yet difficult road to
explore, ere Charleston falls into their hands
The fact is neither the abandonment of Morris
Island nor the de structon of Fort Sumter nec-
essarily canses the fall of Charleston, and our
vile invaders will find this to their cost, when
with blinded confidence they make the attempt.
But why should our people excite themselves
about Morris Island it is only Within twelve
months that any merit has been attached to its
importance besides. one of our greatest Gen.
erals now in Virginia is said to have declared
1T quite impossible SO to fortify that island, as
to render it impregnabIe againsta formidable
iron clad fleet, and such batteries as our enc.

Determined men, his works have resisted for

ture by expecting impossibilitles from those in
authority, nor permit our confidence in our
commanding Generals to waver. His early

Charleston and her people, tnat he may be said
to live on.y in her safety. Let US abandon all

How LINCOLN RECRUITS His Army A gen.
tlsmap recently from Norfolk, gives the follow
ing account to the Christian Observer of a pro
ceeding which was doubtless regarded by the
enemy as 'scute Yankee trick: :"
There are in the city of Norfolk four church
es, known as the African churches, which are
used exclusively by the colored people for pub
lie worship. One of these has bell, and is
known as the "Bel Church" A notice was
recently circulated among the colored pepula-
latioh, by orders of the Provost Marshal, that
on the following Sabbath something would be
communicated in the Bell Church in which they
were interested. Their curiosity being thus ap-
pealed to, the ringing of the bell drew an inn
mense crowd. The house was filled. Many
who could not get in stood around the doors
and windows with listening ears. At an ap-
pointed signal military manoeuvre was exc
cuted, and they found themselves surrounded
by three, hundred soldiers, with fixed baycnets.
Resistance was useless--escape impossible
All who were not too young nor too old for mil
itary service wsre hurried away. Ne time was
given for farewells or for making any prepare.

The Mississippi Troops.

A few days since some iueonsiderate person
sent over the telegraph wires the announce
ment that the Mississippi troops were deserting
Jouston's army in large numbers and going
home. Ihereupon some very inconsiderats ed.
itors commenced giving their views upoE the
subject; and endeavore3, il possible, to make
matters worse than they would have been even
if the announcement had been true in every
particular. Knowing full well the character of
the Mississippi troops, and the well merited
reputation they have always had for bravery,
we at the time doubted the correctness of the
report put in circulation, and thought that those
editors who commenced abusing them upon a
mere telegraphic rumor, exhibited but little
dscretion-to say the least. A gentleman
just from Mississippi has given true state
ment of the case. From his account it appears
that the soldiers who went nome were the pa
rolled Wick sburg prisoners, who cannot fight un
til exchanged, and who had perfect right to
pursue the course they did. Those editors who
have made mountain out of "mole hlli'
will do we'll if they will correct the false ru.
mors they have published, and remove the er,
! roneous impressions they have made on the
minds of their readers.
All accounts from, Mississippi concur il prov
ing that the spirit of the soldiers from that
State is not ia the least dampened in conse-
qaence Of the recent disaster to our arms In
that section. Or tho contrary, the outrages
that have been committed on their families,
homes and property, will only incite them to
brave other dangers and indure greater suffer :
