sure the execution of designs about
which others would hardly dare to con-
suit.
He has been unsparing in his criticism
of Mcclellan and Burnside. When asked
what, in his opinion, was the cause of
the failure of the campaign on the Pen
insula, he unhesitatingly answered, the
incompetency of the Commanding Gen
eral' His testimony in regard to the
battle of Fredericksburg evinces the
same contempt for the ability of Gen.
Burnside. He can not expect the peo-
pie to be more charitable towards him
than he has been to his superior officers;
he must conquer or be condemned. No
one is more cognizant of this fact than
Gen. Hooker himself, and that he will
struggle with energy if not desperation,
rather than fail, those who best know
the man have no hesitation in asserting.
In addition TO his criticism of others,
Gen. Hooker has given utterance to mill
tary maxims that demonstrate his know
ledge'of the means to be employed to
make victory complete. Should he
fail to make use of those means, he will
be held to the more rigid account
Gen. Pope failed to obtain fair hear
ing, after his unsuccessful campaign in
Virginia, because of his gasconading
propensities; and, while it is now con-
ceded that he was sacrificed by the jeal-
ousy or treason of his subordinate off,
GERS rnere appears no future Tor Gen.
Pope. He will hardly recover from the
popular condemnation, however hasty
and unjust it may have been. Gen.
Hooker has Popes example to profit by.
He, like Pope, is selfopinionated and
dogmatic. He, too, has been outspoken
in his declarations as to what he could
have done under circumstances in which
others failed to do anything. There viii
be no mercy for him should he fail in
any particular to make good his boastful
words We are glad such is the case,
because we feel assured that no longer
will the cause of the Union in Virginia
droop tor want of earnest effort. No
man, however meager his ability, who
has promised so much as Gen. Hooker,
will have his name go down to posterity
as that of miserable braggart, without
straining every nerve to do something
that will at least approximate his loud
pretensions

INDICATIONS OF PEACE.-There is now
momentous and wicked war being
waged by ungrateful sons of this once
mighty Government, burying in its re-
bellious march national, sectional, and
individual interests. At such an hour
as this, it is truly refreshing to look on
and erect over the last resting place of
our dear departed friends such magnifi-
cent specimens of art as might have
been found in times of peace and pros
perity in the best monumental ware
rooms of New York and Philadelphia.
But now they are building such ones
indeed anything and everything that is
made of American or Italian marble,
from a grave-stone to a beautiful monu-
mental Street & YoungS, No. l34
Main Street. Remember the place; it
ID three doors from the canal.
P. S.-The East or West cannot boast
of moro skillful mechanics in their line
than those employed by Street & Young.
PREPARING FOR THE SUMNER CAM
PAIGN.-Mr. Joe F. Adams, artist, has
just returned from successful, profess
sional visit to the vicinity of Vicksburg,
is now en- route to the East to purchase
stock of material and apparatus pertain
ing to his line of business
He proposes to furnish himself with all
the modern improvements for making
fine pictures, and when he returns, which
will be in few days, his fine art gale
ry, corner of Main and Second street,
will be the great point ofinterest to those
who want photographs, cartes de Uisite or
likenesses of any character taken and
put up in the highest style of the art.

General Hooker,

The fact that the Army of the Poto-
mac is in motion has been very general
iy published, and now admits of no doubt
The National Int USgencer-always slow
but sure-says the movement commenc-
ed on Monday last, and that large bodies
of cavalry, infantry and artillery were
already ION Thursday across the Rap
pahannock
This news will awaken new interest on
the part of the people, and they will
greedily devour every additional item of
intelligence from the Department of Vir-
ginis. 1t is fortunate, too, for General
Grant, because public attention will be-
come so absorbed in Hooker movements
as to lose sight of his own.
While the sympathy of the people for,
and their confidence in, Gen. Hooker are
great, it cannot be denied, that they also
feel anxious and fearful The military
failures in Virginia have been so numer-
GUS and of such magnitude, that faith in
any permanent shccess to be achieved
by our army there has well nigh given
place to despair. Hooker's task is indeed
Herculean. His responsibility may well
make him tremble. In all the subordi-
nate positions which he filed prior to the
assumption of his present command, he
did we'll But so did Mcdowell, McClel-
Ian, Pope and Burnside While he has
the mistakes of those commanders before
him from which to profit, he has also
the accumulated experience and prepar-
alton of the rebels, growing out of those
mistakes, to overcome. Virginia to Nc
Clellan was comparatively an open field,
(for the Notifications at Manassas were
easily fanked) to be won by fair stand
up fight between the opposing armies; to
Hooker it is vast network of forti6ca-
tons bristling with cannon and swarm
ing with veteran soldiers. To success
fully overcome these obstacles will re-
quire genius hardly second to that of
Napoleon or Wellington.
Gen. Hooker is blunt soldier, with a
high opinion of his own powers, and--it
must be said-slow to recognize the
ability of others. The self esteem
manifested by him has generally, in
other men, begotten foolhardiness
that proved their ruin. 1t may, how
ever, in his case, be backed by so clear

~ twill be seen BY proceedings We publish
to-day, that meetings have been held in this
!, District, in accordance with the suggestion;
of Gov. Bonham, and We hope a geasrai
expression of opinion has been. made
throughout toe State. In the two meetings
We publish, il viii be seen thatOn is deyo-
ted 10 cotton, and the other to provisions,
nevertheless, We are assured that public
opinion is fully shadcwed forth BY EACH
InSthe court house meeting the subject Of
cotton planting was net dwelt on, from the
fact that The Legislature was 10 session, for
what purpose was not known, and the with
irawal of working.hands at . time like the
present was Of equally. as great Importance.
We: refer our friends at distance TO the
opinions expressed with the discrimination
to oshrink from no duty, be the consequences
whattkey may, our people respectfully pro
test against the call for labor thai has been
so nntimely made.

Loss on our side, one killed and 8 wounded.
The parties also captured wagons, &C., and
returned in safety.
In case decided by Judge Grier in
Philadelphia, he decided that if rebels on
land were treated as prisoners of war, reb-
els on the sea were entitled to the same
usage, and were therefore not subject to
the penalties Of piracy.

This is the order Of the Court Martial in
this case. -
-Nothern dates of the 2Sth have been

sent to Port Royal, The cargo consists
partly Of powder and arms.

the aovernor, on Friday evening last at :
O'Clock. The Governor sent in his Mes,
sage the same evening, which will be found
ID our columns to day, and plainly sets forth
The reasons Of the extra call. i has been
referred for. action to the various commit
tees; who seem busily at work.
Among the bills proposed, is one by Mr..
Perry, Of Greenyille, to regulate in future
the sale Of goods, wares, &c by public aao-
ton, and one to limit the prices Of the
prime necessaries Of life in this State. ln
our next, we will probably be enabled to
give our readers much Of Interest," that may
be then perfected.

raising provision crop, our army must be
withdrawn. Therefore,
l. Resolved, That subjugation, such as
is contemplated by our enemy, involving
rapins, confscation, loss of life, and out
RACES upon mothers and daughters, sisters
and wives, is shocking to humanity, and
revolving to the principles of morality and
of civilization. 9
2. Resolved, That any act, whether Of
omission or commission, involving such
state of things, is abhorrent to our souls anel
should be frowned down by every well.wisF.
er to his country, and every friend to hu-
mauity.
8. Resolved, Assured as We are that the
success of our arms is suspended upon the
amount Of provisions raised for ourselves
and our aymy, it becomes the duty of every
Planter to turn his attention 10 the raising
of corn, of vegetables, of pork, Of beef, and
stock of all kinds. - -
4. Resolved, That neglecting or reject
ing these, aud turning the attention to the
planting of cotton is unwise and unpatriotic,
and is ssgiving aid and comfort to the enc.
my"
S. Resolved, as some have inferred an
early Peace, from the fact, that the Honor
able, the Legislature permitted the planting
of three acres Of cotton to the hand, that we
do not believe the Legislature intended to
convey such impression, and We are satish-
ed that the circumstances Of the times do
not warrant such conclusion.
6. Resolved, 1t is the deliberate opinion
of this meeting, that any citizen, who will
plant to the amount permitted, is an enemy
to his country and should be viewed with
suspicion, as one likely to betray the best
causes for unhallowed gain.
7. Resolved, Entertaining such views of
duty, We very respectfully recommend to
our fellow citizens, as we ourselves fully in.
tend to do, to restrict their planting tosthe
extent Of securing seed for future use.
On motion of Rev. A. Whyte, the fol.
lowing delegates were appointed to attend
the District meeting, at the Court House, on
Monday next, Rev. D. May, Allen Rob-
ertson, Col. Cad Jones, W. G. Erwin and

and our lives. And whereas, it is the policy
of that enemy, who has now uncontrolled
possession of much of the grain-growing

), A meeting of citizens of York District,
was held at the Court House, in YorkVille,
on the 6th instant, sale day-when, on mo-
tion Of A. S. Wallace, Esq, the meeting
was organized by calling DR.. r. I. Allison,
to the Chair, and the appointment of A. l.
Barron as Secretary. The object Of the

mittee consisting Of the following gentle.

Whereas, a call has been made BY His
Excellency, the Governor OF the State, for
one half Of the Working Hands of this
District, to work on the Fortifcations near
Charleston, for one month from the 4th Of
May ensuing; and whereas, we are ever
ready to yield our substance and support to
the Government of the State aud the Con-
federacy in every emergency; and whereas
we consider the provisioning interests to be
vital, and seriously jeoparded by such call
BE it therefore Resolved, That the Plan,
tiers and Farmers of York District deem the
present call as inopportune, and calculated
TO materially impair all their. arrangements
heretofore made for full provision crop.
Resolved, That the time specified is one
of the most busy on the plantations, and
when forces can be the least spared and,
without reflection on those who occupy the
Coast, and have hundreds of hands acclima.
ted, and unemployed, that such should be
used for the emergency if any such exists, is
our earnest desire.
Resolved, That we are fully impressed
with our duty to the State, aud therefore
deem it but the duty of the State to US to
allow the use of our hands by which We can
best benefit the Government
Resolved That, we will do what the State
may require of US in the premises, but that
we respectfully protest against the enforce
ment of the call above mentioned, for the
reasons set forth.
Resolved, That copy of the proceedings
of this meeting be forwarded to our mem.
bers of the Legislature, ifin session; and to
the Governor of the State as the expression
of opinion in this District
