Aggressive warfare.

We heartily endorse every word of the fol~
lowing from the Raleigh On. O. Progress, and
urge every reader 10 erUsessattentiyely. 1t
is the most sensible view Of the subject of an
aggressive warfare upon our brutal and un.
civilized enemy we have yet seen. Tho idea
of waiting for England and Che treacberous
Northwestern yankees to give US Peace, is
revolving to every patriotic mind and beart.
Make them come 10 Peace. Whip it out OF
the towards, and carry tie Var to their own
doOrs:--
Ths advocate Of defensive war, thosssswho
want our troops seattle d TO ditch aFound
every important county borough N the Con
iedeyacy, are wonderfully exercised every lime
our army moves forward low DIS the enemy g
territory. While the enemy s5atters hisforces
all over our couttry--everJ ttte is invaded
ofty and iHfaIgs tIi5if HGis4 b yy5tst sf5i 4
war upon women and children, there are
those among us who hear anything like retalia'
tion, in kind, spoken of with fear aud tremb
ling. They would sprinkle the way OF the
enemy through our own land with rose wafer
hold prayer meetings to pray for them, and
scorn anything like visiting their peaceful
homes with fire and sword, for fear of making
somebody mad.
We have had enough of this, and sensible
men are dsgusted with it. We must fight
this war with the weapons chosen by the enc
my, or stop it, on such terms as they will give
US. To 90 on with the defensive policy Is to
be finally swallowed up by the principle OF
gradual absorption, aud any sensible man, who
has watched the operations of the last two
years, must see it. We must change the poll
cy and carry the horrors and miseries home to
the enemy, or we shall be finally overrun aud
all our blood will have been poured out in
vain.
Somebody is afraid of making the Democrats
in the North mad. Let them get mad. They
are fighting us. They have sent forward men
to burn, ravish and destroy all that made life
valuable to us, and we have nothing 10 hope
from them. We have tried the rose wafer
policy on them, hoping they would arrest the
tyranny of Lincoln and save US, but they have
not done it, and now we want to try another
plan. Go into their territory and burn and
destroy. This will do more to increase the
clamor for peace and strengthen the peace
party at the North than all the honeyed kind
ness we have made ourselves fools in showing
them.

REBEL Wit.

The Chattanooga Rebel of the 18th, contains
at least two columns of matter from The Press
and Union. 1t generally prelaces its clippings
by calling the editors of these papers dogs,
worms, puppies, scouudrels, and such like
names. But the heaviest joke is on the editor
of the Union, in paragraph, thus:
"a Nashville paper says thalin Washington
they have force of men for capturing dogs
Now it they had another for capturing pup.
pies, and would send it to Nashville, we should
not be able to get another copy of the Nash
vile Union"
In another column the editor says that the
undermining of Yicksburg by Grant is dirty
undertaking, and that if that city ever falls, it
will fall in.

THE COUNTERSIGN,

IHE 1oliowlng fragment of poetry was found in Don
MS Cowens knapsack after his DEATH and is pubsbo,
as memento of the departed:
Alas the weary hours pass slowlv-
The night is very dark and still
And in the marshes far below me
| hear the bearded whip-poor-
L scarce can see yard ahead
My ears are strained to catch each sonnd
| hear the leaves about me shed.
And springs bubbling from the ground
Along the beaten path I pace,
F" mere White rags mark my sentry's
track
In iormless shrubs | seem to trace
The foeman's form with bended back.
! think see him crouching low
| stop and list stoop and peer.
Until the nelghboring hiilock GREW
To groups of soldiers, far and near.
With ready piece wait and watch,
Until my eyes familiar grow,
Detect each harmless earthen notch.
And turn guerrillas into stone:
And then amid the lonely gloom
Beneath the tall old chestnut trees.
My silent marches resume,
And think Of other times than these.
"Halt! who goes there?" my challenge cry.
1t rings along the watchful line;
"Relief?' | hear voice reply
advance and give the countersign !"
With bayonet at the charge | wait
The corporal gives the mystic word
With arms aport | charge my mate,
Then onward pass, and all is we'll
But in the tent that night awake,
| ask, if in the fray fall,
Can I the mystic answer make,
When the angelic sentries call?
And pray that heaven may so ordain,
Where e'e | go what fate be mine,
Whether in pleasure or in pain,
God grant | may have the countersign.

SINGULAR RUN OF BAD LUCK.
The popular notion is that army suffers make
minis Of money, and many Of them, doubtless,
do make q good thing OF 1t, but it is somewhat
Of q lottery at best.
Mr.. Moses Sweetser, army purveyor OF this
city, has been peculiarly unfortunate in bis
business. At the 1st Bull Run fight he lost
most OF his property there; at the I'd Bull Run
Tight q raid was made on him by our retreating
army: his warehouse at Fairfax was broken
open and all the goods TAKEN at Front Royal
his clerks retreated suddenly, and he made q
loss there, rs he did also at Culpeper. He was
Obliged to skedaddle from Warrenton three
times last summer; his store at Harper's Fer
~ was burned down aud all the goods lost;
at Manassas he was robbed OF all his goods
while absent attending to his little girl, who was
run over at airfax the 27th OF June He was
taken prisoner by Gen. Fitz Lee with all his
goods at Anandale, on their way to Washing
ton The next day Gen. Stuart went into
Fairfax Court House and cleaned hum up
there and now again on Wednesday last he
was taken prisoner with three teams at Gaines
vile, carried into the mountains and kept pris-
onpr with six of his clerks three days. Next
day his store was robbed by Moseby at Fairfax
Court House. After all these trials and rebuff
Mr.. Sweetser is not ntimidated nor cast down,
but is detsrm med to WORK on until he can
serves tor his energy, perseverance, &c. His
losses amount to about 81, 600 by these differ.
ent raids. &c. His experience is that Of many.

On wednesday morning the band OF the
guerrilla Moseby captured seventeen suffers
and their teams on the road between Fairfax
Court House and Anandale, which they took
down into deep ravine, about half mile
from the road, and there they paroled the sat.
iers, who made their way back to the city in
the best manner they could, some Of them
reaching here on Wednesday night. The
wagons were taken at various points along the
road, sometimes there being but two or three Of
the guerrillas in g squad.
Yesterday morning they captured, in one
maui, fourteen wagons, and six or seven more
during the morning, ail OF which, with the
suffers, they took 10 the rayine above.msn-
toned, and proceeded to dispose OF them but
some OF our cavalry company T, LIST Maine,)
came upon them and recaptured all the stolen
goods, with the exception Of six or eight horses
and the suffers, taking two prisoners, zone OF
them Moseby's first lieutenant,) and dispersed
the party. Several OF the suffers were robbed
OF their money, one OF them losing over S1,7eO.
Ane suffers say that in this ravine there are
Inc remains Of number OF wagons, trunks,
boxes, &c, In some of which are remnants of
Clothing, and the place bears the appearance
OF having been used as guerrilla rendezvous
Mosebys men numbered over sixty, ami
were splendidly mounted. They are uniformed
in grey psntaloons with yellow cord down
the seam, dark jacket, and grey felt hat, one
side turned up and fastened with q roset 9 aud
black feather on the other side They are
we'll armed with sabers, revolyers aud car
bines, and their general appearance is neat
Moseby in person is said to have been present
Most OF these captures were made from a
point six miles this side of Fairfax 10 within
two miles of that place, and some Of them were
made when our cavalry were not over a mile
distant.
