regulars and one of Rosecran's telegraph
operators were captured yesterday near Run.

Some %eeks ago our news papers informed
the Yankees that an enormous amount of rolling
stock had been carried up to Grenada. But
not content with this some correspondents told
their readers and the Yankees that Johnston
was re- building their briggs over Pearl river in
order to run off his stock and save it. In other
words, Grant was tolG to hurry on his raiding
parties. He was not slow to take The hint and
terrible calamity has been the result.
Privateering might have been carried on for
years from the waters of North Carolina had
not our papers told the Yankees where our
cruisers made their rendezvous. The capture
Of Hatteras, Roanoke Island and Newbern was
the result of this babbling.
Chattanooga paper, a few days since, in
formed Rosecranz where Forrest was, and pub
shed the Dutchmans proclamation inviting
our soldiers to desert.
The Charleston papers tell Gilmore from
day to day the effect-of his fire and warn him
OF the preparations Beauregard is making.
The Yankees are duly apprised of every
movement Of our troops. They are told about
all our plans hopes and fears; they are taught
where are our weak and strong points Every
street combination of our military leaders
against the vandals is proclaimed from the
house top.
Can nothing be done to arrest this terrible
evil? Would not a law depriving every in.
discreet and babbling writer of his exemption
papers and placing him in the ranks be worth
to our cause an army of fifty thousand mens
This, though, would be wicked. 1t would be

The AFFrcTIoNs.-There is famous pas
sage in the writings of Rousseau, that great
delineator Of the human heart, which is as true
to human nature as it is beautiful in expression:
"N ere | in desert, I would fine out where
with in 1t to call forth my affections. i'll
could do no better, l would fix them on some
sweet myrtle, or some melancholy cypress, to
connect myself to. would court them for
shade, and greet them kindly for their protec.
ton. would write my name upon them, and
declare that they were the sweetest trees
throughout all the desert Iftheir leaves with
cred, would teach myself to mourn, and
when they rejoiced | would rejoice along with
them"
Such is the absolute necessity which exist in
the human heart of having something to love.
Unless the affections have An object, life itself
joylcss and inspd. The affections have this
popularity, that they are not so much the
means Of happiness as their exercise is happi.
ness itself And not only so, if they have no
object, the happiness derived from any other
power is cut off. Action and enterprise flag,
if there be no object dear to the heart to
which these actions can be directed.

From this exhibit orr Western friends will
sec the utter hopelessness Of expecting any
trade worthy of the name being done here,
even if there were products in the hands of
our planters to dispose Of The growing crop
is scarcely worth consideration, either of cotton
or sugar, consequently there can be no trade
with people having nothing to give in re-
turn for the necessaries they require. Slavery
is practically abolished by the government, the
country is "cleaned out" the future is before

Persecution of President Davis by
COMfederates.

We copy below, from the New York Times,
an extract which should put to shame writers
who spend their time in depreciating President
Davis:
Bad as jeff Davis is, he has served the reb-
els well, and they have no right to complain of
him.-Hc was made their President by a unan-
imous vote They had known him long and
thoroughly, and could not be mistaken either
about his faculties, or his devotion to their
principles. 1t is the Judgment of the whole
world that they Were not mistaken. They
could have found no man within their borders
SO consummately htted for their leadership.
Cod reserved, impcrous. he could be the tool
Of no man. Ever audacious, vet never rash in
flexible in his purpose, vet versatile in the Use
of hismeans: OF very clear apprehension IN gen
eral matters, and yet Of the most bigotcd at
tachment of the great rebel idea of temper
Of soul incapable alike cf undue elation or de-
spondency; Of trelcss industry and frstrate ex.
ecutive ability; he was precisely fitted to be the
chief of this tremendous enterprise.
The wonder ever will be, not that he at last
sinks exhausted, but that he was ever able to
stand against our Government at all. History
may be searched in vain for another instance
of so prodigious power organized from such
limited materials, and holding out so long
against such terrible trials. The ability and
the energy with which he has consolidated and
sustained the rebellion have extorted the ad-
miration not only Of Europe, but of .even the
loyal North; for the qualities are in themselves
none the less admirable, though employed in
the most wicked cause.
Of course, it cannot be pretended that jeff.
Davis has made no mistakes. Were this so, it
would prove him more than human There
never WAS human energy yet which did not
sometimes flag, norjudgmentwhich did not mis-
calculate Our points, rot that the rebel lead
CT was perfect in his management, but that he
vssts as nearly so as any Ewing man in similar
circumstances could have been, and that, there
fore, he cannot justly be reproached in any
measure for the failure Of tie rebel enterprise.
He has surpassed all the expectations his Con-
feaerates in treason could have reasonably
formed and he is just as much entitled to the
confidence of his fellow traitors now, in this,
their day of disaster as he was year ago,
when, in the flush ofvictory, they shouted his
name to the stars.
