The SituatiOn-The News.

The Situation-The News.
The opposing armies still stare at each other
across the Rappahannock.
Hookers recent orders, respecting the discharge
of the nine months and two years men from the
service of the United States and the grant Of fur
Loughs to the reenlisting regiments, seem to indi-
cate inactivity and reorganization. But there are
signs of animation the part of the enemy on the
/ lower Rappahannock, and demonstration at Port
ROYAL or Tappahannock would not be surprising.
The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Rich
mond Examiner states that there are thirty -eght
regiments of nine months and two years troops,
averaging about seven hundred men each, in the
army of the Potomac and that their intention to
,aaye the service is fixed and Unanimous. The ma
ority of these regiments are within three weeks of
the termination of their time, and it is more than
nrobabe that General Hooker will attempt to bring
On. an engagement before the strength Of his army
is impaired by their discharge. That engagement
will not occur in the immediate front oil Fredericks-
burg The probability is, that the Rappahannock
will be crossed some six miles below Port Royal,
where the river is not affected by the spring floods
Of gunboats, and the banks low, and incapable of
advantageous defence.
From Suffolk.
Private advices from Suffolk represent battle as
sill imminent, but the impression prevails in off
eai circles that Gen. Longstreet does not design an
attack on the place. The movement is thought to
have another object and it is said that large guam
titles of provisions and forage not hitherto availa
BILE, were being rapidly removed from the section
Of country to which Suffolk is the key.
From the West.
The news from the West is unimportant
Federal marauding parties infest North Alabama
md Mississippi, and skirmishes are of almost daily
occurrence.
A fight occurred at Birmingham on the Oath inst,
in which the enemy were routed by our cavalry,
losing fifteen killed and many wounded
Our army at Tullahoma is in fine condition, and
eager for the enemy to advance.
4 forward movement on the enemy S. part will
precipitate the great battle for the possession o.
the Mississippi Valley and in our army no fears are
entertained as to its issue.

unwilling to see any Of mine return who are not
submissive to every thing necessary to SUCCESS
But Sir, there is another considerations II the forts
are necessary, and if negroes are--must be employ
ed to erect them let it be done at subtitle time.
| have already pressed upon you the nRtursl-the
almost necessary timid.y of the farmers II in the
planting season his labor is Withdrawn from the
work of the farm, he will be stimulated to closer
boarding of what he now has. He will feel that if
his hands are taken now, SO will they be at any
future period and why should he the win say plant
when the receipt Of an officer may prevent his cul-
tivating. Why not save and hoard and secrete
what he has, and put his hands to improvements
valuable in the future, but not available to imme
date production.
Again, Sir, "a crop we'll planted is a crsp half
made" and the order of Providence with us is to
plant in April, cultivate in May and juno and trust
to God for the earlier and latter rains Of July and
August If by unreasonable calls this arrangement
is defeated and cultivation, by reason of late plant
ing is to be carried during the rains, the crop is
ordinarily cut off one-t third, and failure Of one
third of the production causes failure Of one half
Of the surplus. Most respectfully but most ex-
pcity do affirm that, let it be known that labor
is to be- distracted from the field at the call OF
officers at different posts and that confidence in the
reserve of food which is COW springing up will at
once vanish, and the closest boarding will take its
place. Be pleased to bear in mind, that an officer
charged with certain duties to build stockade for
instance, has eye naturally, properly, to the ex-
ecution Of his orders. But SIR, your duty is to see
that the Republic suffers no detrlmens; the food
question is now the sll Important one; until that Is
placed beyonc doubt the existence OF the Con'ede-
racy may depend upon your. firmly refusing to d.
minish the amount Of labor on the farm; and God
grant that you may be enabled to do it. If furti6-

From Auburn

Our correspondent at Auburn furnishes
us with the following particulars IN rela-
tion to the manner in which Enoch Fruit
"a desperate of the worst character
was disposed off,
EDS STATESMAN :-Enoch Fruit is a
character we'll known on the criminal cal
endor of ;H1~aoon. He has for long time
been associated with banus u 19rSe tnleVes
and desperate villains, and for part of his
crimes been an inmate Of the Penitenliary
at Portland-from whence he ,caped some
time ago. Since his escape he has pursued
bis vocation in the mining region east Of
the Cascades Last fall he was a resident
of Mormon Basin, in Baker county since
which time his whereabouts cannot be
Eraced; until lately he was met by J. A.
Garter, of jackson county, Oregon, at the
Washee ferry on Snake river, where he
was introduced under the name of McVay
which name he went by ia Mormon
Basin. In conversation with Mr.. Carter
he became very inquisitive and somewhat
offensive,y SO, when Mr.. Carter said to
him;
Il know you, and you know me- Your
name is Enoch Fruit, and am the man
you stole horse from at Phoenix, near
Jacksonville, in So"
Fruit owned up to the proper name and
to the horse stealing, and excused himself
by saying that he was driven to steal horses
by the force of circumstances. Was sorry
that he had no money or he would pay him

that he had asked for no money and ex-

Parties.


We consider it essential to the stability
and well being of our Government that
parties should exist at all fines, in peace
.or war. How else can we discern the pop
,ular will If party rises up which ad-
vocates unsound principles, the people are
competent to put judgment upon it and
condemn it at the ballot box. The more
,unsound the principles, the more they will
1be condemned If party rises up which
has FOR its object the preservation of our
fern of Governments strictly loyal to
the Constitution, without an if or an, and
advocates principles which have guided
us since the formation of the Government
how can any who are not prejudiced in
favor of some particular ism say aught
against the legitimateness of that party.
If the doctrines of such party are unex-
{ceptionable to the masses they will make
it known at the ballot box. If, on the
other hand the doctrines are not accerta-
BILE it will be made known in the same
manner; and we hold that this is he only
way in which the popular will can be made
known, and the only way to arrive at truth
and justice in the regulation of Govern
mental affairs We are aware that many
of those belonging to the Republican or
Administration party, deprecate the idea
=, drawing party lines. Individuals and
organs oG this party are the only ones vho
cry out against the formation of parties
Democrats do not; but 4u the contrary.
they say our Constitution guarantees us
freedom of speech,-and what is balloting
for principle but giving expression to
thought, that your views may be be made
public? If the Administrati believers
fear party, it is about time that the people
should fear them and scrutinize their ac-
tions. 1t is settled principle that when
a party becomes conscious of fearful fall
ing off of its adherents, it makes the most
noise about its infallibility and strength.
There is further significance in this
when the ranks ofa party are being thinned
day by day with rapidity that strikes
terror to the hearts of its unscrupulous dem
agogues, it is convincing proof that there
is ''a niger in the wood-pile," and ''some-
thing rotten in the State of Denmark" be-
sides. The Republican ranks are thin
ming wonderfully fast nowadays, and
the organs of that party are setting up
dismal howl about the formation of par
ties But let them ''toot their horns," the
sentiments of the people aoiH out, notwith-

pected none. Fruit afforded him the choice
Of two horses at his camp on the other side
of the river toward Boise. Mr.. Carter de-
clined taking horse, but Fruit actually
insisted, and urged the matter so, that f.
nally the two started over the river to-
gether Mr.. Carter, recollecting that one
of his companions needed horse and it
would be serviceable.
This all happened early in the morning,
a few days since. While Mr.. Carter S com
panion was hunting horses. Fruit and
three others occupied a shanty across the
river, and Mr.. Carter, as the sequel shows,
possessed considerable courage and self
confidence, to trust himself in such COM
pany alone.
On entering the hut, where were three
companions of Fruits, his demeanor to
ward Carter changed Immediately, and in
stead of producing the promised horse, he
commenced abusing Carter, whose remarks
to him in the presence of others had eX-
D. O d his real character. In answer to
some abuse. Carter called Fruit liar, up
on which the latter drew a pistol, fired,
and missed the second shot was knocked
up by Carter, who drew his knife and
stabbed Fruit Instantly. at the same time
grasping Fruits pistol and leveling it upon
"Black jack one of the confederate" >"
who had his own pistol leveled at the time.
The others had not drawn and feared to do
so. So debating terms to the gang, Mr..
Carter ordered ''Black Jack" to throw
down his pistol, raise his hands above his
head and precede him to the river, where
he stood in that attitude until Carter was
landed on the other side--the muzzle Of
Fruits pistol the while pointed a the un-
happy Jack.
Information has come into Auburn that
Fruit has since died from the effects of the
stab wound, and if so, Mr.. Carter deserves
thanks for ridding the world of horse
thief, who, very probably, has been use
full auxiliary to the Snake Indians in all
their depredations of the past season.
