A YANKEE LIE.-We have but little doubt
but the Cairo dispatch alluded to in the
Northern News, of the taking of Arkansas
Post, on Arkansas river, with five to seven
thousand prisoners, is a lie manufactured
out of the whole cloth. In the first place,
we don't believe we had any depot of sup
plies or any such force as the enemy claim
to have captured at Arkansas Post. 1t is
an old French post, and is accessible to
gunboats or other craft, and only about sixty
miles from the Arkansas river We may
have had a small garrison there and a
gun ,oat raid may have run them from the
place, but the story offve to seven thousand
prisoners is perfectly absurd.

The News OF the Week.

There has been no conflict of arms in Eas-
tern North Carolina, as yet. The report of
Fort Caswell (below Wilmington being at
tackled last week, proves to be untrue. Sew
eral iron clad vessels are said to be lowering
about tn ere, but they have made no demon
~stration yet. A portion of the Abolition
army advanced from Newbem to Trenton,
but at last advices they had r~etired-either
retired to Ncwbern or gone to join the
expedition against Wilmington. Their for
ces are said to be ten thousand strong at
Jacksonville, in Onslow county; evidently
on the march for Wilmington. 1t isthought
now that Weldon and Wilmington will be
the points of attack. Our people are conf
dent of their ability to meet and defeat them.
In our news columns will be found inter-
esting accounts of operations in the West
It is thought another great battle will occur
near Murfreesboro' before long.
The Richmond papers have recently had
rumors of the Abolition army again intending
crossing the Potomac; but the Examiner Of
Wednesday last says;
The report was brought to this city yes.
terday that Burnside's resignation had been
at last accepted by the Lincoln Government,
that Gen. Foster, probably he who won
fame by a recent campaign in North Carroll
ma, had been put in command of the Army
of the Potomac. 1t was further stated that
the Yankees, far from preparing to cross
the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, were
moving in the direction of Warrenton.
These reports are neither confirmed NOT
contradicted by any thing received at the
War Department. All we learn from that
source is, that there has been no engage
ment.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Anothersyear has dawnel

we should he truly thankful for the favorai,is
prospect of which the new yesr finds us pos
sessed. We may not be as near the end Of
the war as we imagine, but we now have full
assurance of our .absl ity to maintain our in
dependence. Some bloody battles NAV vet
be fought, and many of our noble soldiers
pour out their life blood OH the field of car
mage, yet sooner or later, Southern indepcn-
dence will perch upon our banners. Nav
we not hope that the happy time is near at
hand ! | know that many a sad heart would
leap for joy, if they possessed sufficient evil
dences for an answer in the affirmative. .
But every body would not ne glad at the
prospect of an early peace! WHAT! eusrv
body would not be glad to hail the return of
peace! Tnis looks strange, yet on a little
reflection, you will agree with me. We have
a class of beings mot men) who 0y taking
advantage Of our peculiar condition, arc glut-
ting themselves with earth's filthy lucre, at
the expense of our country's good. Such
persons, are enemies to the South, enefnie at
home = the worst of enemies These heart
less wretches would not be glad to see the
restoration of peace, because their craft of
speculation ana extortion would then be at
an end. | think this war will develoDe
principles which will give rise to a new page
in moral philosophy. Its heading will be
Men tcsthOut Souls. | hope some ADLER pen
will undertake its investigation.
Mr.. Editor, if the devil is not wise, he
certainly possesses considerable tact, as
| displayed through his agents. / learn that
/ d~istlllers in the up country of the Old North
State are making persimmons a cloak for the
dlStillatiOn of WhiSkey. Men that will mak.
: such shifts to eyade the laws of the country
ask, what will they not dop l leave th,
reader to answer.
Every thing works together for good,
aud this war has shown US who is the patrio
and who is the coward who are the tru
benevolent countrymen and who are tn
: greedy, selfish rogues; who are the christian
and who are the hypocrites. Let all read an,

E@ The Rev. Henry Hardie has underta-
ken to conduct a Missionary Station in the
Church formerly known as Novels Church,
in this city, now the property of the Young
Mems Christian Association
There are in the congregation that attend
this church, as in most other congregations,
persons in INDECENT circumstances ; perhaps
a larger proportion than are generally found
elsewhere. The object of this notice is to
ask the christian public generally for their
benevolent contributions of any articles for
the use of the poor of the congregation. It
is not a sectarian enterprise, but purely evan
gelical. Any articles Of food, clothing, fuel,
ETC., offered by any one, will be received and
cheerfully offered to those who most need
them. Discrimination. will be made in favor
of the families of the poor soldiers, in the
distribution of such offerings.
If the goods are deposited in any conve-
nient place in the city, they will be sent for
or they can be sent to Mr.. Hardie's hous
near the Church.

ey- The Yankee Congress shows a. ucn y
venom to wards the 5 nth as. eyer. sA few
members there are who oppose lie schemes
of the radical abolitionisuS, but the majority

matters in their own way. Some idea may
he formed Of tue character OF the House OF
Representatives when it is known that it gave
Beast Butler 4 vote of thanks for abusing and
robbing the people of New Orleans. The
vote was So to SO. No other body of men in1
the world, VIC venture to say, except one
composed of yankee Lincolnites, would have
thanked and complimcntcd such a brute as
Butler.
They still threaten to take the property of
southern men and sell it to pay the yankee
debt. Mr.. Stephens of Pennsylvania, in a
discussion in the House of Representatives
last week, said
81 purpose to levy and COL ct taxes (from
the South} as d war measure, Just rs all ma
tons levy and collect them on al territory
they conquer. | would not only do this as
a war measure, but, if necessary, take every
inch oftelritory o~feyery disloyal man, and his
real and personal estate, and sell them for
the benefit of the nation carrying on the war.
We are to treat them as provinces until we
conquer them"
Let our people remember that this is what
their enemies purpose to do with their pro-
perty if they get Us in their rover. Better
far, that every southern man should give his
last dollar to the Government To sustain the
war, than to submit to the North and have
not only all his property confiscated, but be
deprived of his rights as a white man, besides
having his family begsared and his children
domineered over and ruled by northern
thieves and robbers.

The Presidents Message.

The great length Of President Davis mes.
sage to Congress, prevents its insertion in
full in our paper, un,ess we were to exclude
a great deal of other matter of great impor.
lance to our readers. The summary we gave
in our last, however, furnishes q very compre-
hensive view of this important document
The Presidents statement of the treatment
received by the Confederacy from foreign
powers and from the United States, and of
the conduct and determination of the people
and government of the Confederacy under
all their trials and wrongs from both, is clear
as sunbeam, and presents a claim to the
worlds consideration and respect such as
was never surpassed by government or pso-
pie in any nation under the sun. The ques-
tons of privateers and blockade are presen-
ted in a manner to reflect injuriously for all
time upon the governments whose selishness
induced them to act with such gross incon-
sistency and injustice.
Another sanguinary phase of the war is
presented in the Presidents determination
q to turn over to the States all captured Off
GERS, that they may be punished according
to the laws of those States for melting in
surrection. This is manifestly just and prop
er, for why should one Of our own citizens
be liable to punishment for such a crime and
one OF these foreign monsters ''go unwhipt
of justice"P 1t is just and proper, we say,
but it may lead to very terrible results on
both sides, should the war continue. On
the subject of Lincoln's Proclamation, by
the way, nothing could be more conclusive
than the Presidents statement of its incon-
sistency with all previous declarations and
admissions of Lincoln and his party.
The people of the Confederate States MAJ
well be proud that such a paper goes forth
to the world at this moment. May we no
hope and believe that as it is far the ables
which the war has produced, so an early an,
lrlumphant close of the war may make it tn
last-a fit summing up of a case upon which
our brave men upon the field have rendere,
