FRUITs.-We often wish that our soldiers in
the army could enjoy the refreshing fruits
which a bountiful season has granted us so
profusely. What treat, one of those large
luscious, cooling melons would be to poor
fellows exhausted with heat andttiA The
thoughts of it will obtrude thetasei1s, nd al

Our friends in different parts 81 thecoh hnty
knowing our interest in horticulture, Shave
sent US lately many beautiful spessAens the
fruit of our country. We have now before us
large apple from the farm of Ma. p San
sissippi as the "horse apple" This one weighs
fourteen ounces, and measures foot .iGfAr-
cumferenee. We specially mention tA0in
rsfuSation OF very common notion thateour
sandy soil and long summer heats are unpro
pitious to the apple. The truth is, thar She
Gulf States of the South are Capable of pro-
ducing finer apples than grow in PENNSYLVANIA
or Ohio. As fer grapes, that thing is settled.
This is wine country ln a drawer at hand
We have bunch of Catawba grapes, from the
dom from his vines, or rather selected as an
average. 1t weighs over ten ounces, and is
very sound and perfect. The Isabella grape
also bears profusey this season, though ad-
dicted to rot. At some future time wine will
be cheaper here than cider.
The peach crop, as usual, is very large. In
deed, it never fails. The fruit this season is
fine compared with other parts of the world;
but owing TO the rains is scarcely so well fla
vored as it was last year. Our streets are
supplied with melon wagons every day. The
fruit is of superior quality.
This is the land we fight for. Here nature
rains her choicest blessings. Shall ''only man
be vile?'' Shall he be the abject subjects Of
naughty power, whose smallest vice is envy
Of the very advantages of our cline? Or shall
he possess the land as freeman, with upright
walk and fearless brow, bowling only to God,
the giver of all good things!

BsF There is said be fighting in Missouri
between the Republicans and Union Democrats.
The Gazette says ave would as soon take sides
in fight between snake and .polecat. -
We always feel some interest in every fl fght,
and liking the republicans best, hurrah for the
polecat. We prefer an honest stink, to
trea cherous sneak
Whilst they are at loggerheads, Quantrel is
said to be doing noble service in our cause 1t
is reported that he has taken AID burnt Kan
sas City and also taken Independence, with
ar-cs, artillery. and 500 prisoners. He is last
reported to be moving on Lexington.
1t seems to US that the Federals ought to de-
spair. They have not actually conquered
single border State. They only hold the
ground they stand on. All through Missouri
and Kentucky, the people rise around them and
will not be subdued They form basis for
raids like Morgan's. Mark the prediction
When the federal bayonets are taken from
the breasts of these States, they will show
- their hearts and wishes to be with the South
by overwhelming majorities. We should see

LATEST ARRIvAL.-Just before going
to press, Capt Albert Beard arrived in
town bringing US copies of the Mobile
Evening News of tie 22d and oath ult
These papers are full of interesting ma.
ter, which will be condensed for our next
issue, but contain nothing of importance
later than the news from former sources.
Capt. Beard left Johnston's army on
the 28th ult., and crossed the Mississippi
at Bolivar on the Sd August. Ee con
firms the report of the occupation of Jack
son by our cavalry, but heard nothing of
any fighting between our forces and
Grants around the place.
The Captain heard nothing either of
Lees recrossing the Potomac, or of ou~
recognition by France and Spain. He
tells US candidlv, however, that he paid
but little attention to the news, and for
some time before crossing the Mississis,
slppl, neither saw a northern paper, or

Gas" Under the caption Then and Now"
lhe Chicago Times of the 4th reviews the cam
pa ign of the last twelve months, and makes
these frank admissions, which should dispel
the gloom which oppresses our people:
That our resources are diminished, the
suspended enlistments and the threatened con-
scription too plainly indicate, while the depre-
citation of the National currency. and greatly
advanced cost Of every branch Of living, are
but an index Of what is to come. We are
weaker to-day, and have less heart by tenfold
than year ago. Divided where we were unit
ed, driven to cross purposes by the preponder-
ance OF faction, and really fighting different
war in all of its essentials from that which we
fought year ago, can il be considered that
we have gone backward instead Of forward"
Add to this the late riots-at the North, and
the reported backing down Of the Administra-
ton from conscriptisn, and we derive two les
sons. One is, that continued and determined
resistance will sssurediy exhaust and wear out
the North, were its resources twice as great.
