aud every where Throughout tlis Confederacy. We
cannot buy anything without the money is paid

EkI- The following. says the Crisis, from
the Mobile Advertiser & Register, hits some
Mississippi paper a lick which we hope will
prove beneficial hereafter. The custom of
politely approrriasing articles, or of giving
credit towards the close of the piece, as If
the latter part were all that the editor
quoted wrote, is in the highest degree repre-
hensible. and, ia fact, amounts just simply to
fagiarism
Stun rrIouE.-t is very ntt.ering to US to find
our editorials reproduced i'm other papers. without
credit and with all the outward form of originals.
and we appreciate the compliment fully OF course.
when a brother editor adopts Of articles he
must think well of it, If it il good enough tn copy.
il is good enough to be credited to its proper pater
nifty.
We my relate not a bad joke in this connection !:
Some ten days since. proof sheet was sent down
from the composing room for onr revisal The first
article cut from a Mississippi paper. and due
credit given to the paper. 1t appeared to as
very familiar, and We found that it of our
own editorials copied without credit in the Missis-
sippi paper in question. and clipped from that pa
per by OF assistants for republication in
own paper, with credit to the paper that had
hooded it in the first instance. Our assistant
pointed ont TO US this morning another of our ed
toriaIs appropriated by the Mississippi editor,

The Exemption Amendment.

The following is the amendment to the ex-
emption law introduced in the Confederate
Congress by Mr.. Barksdale, which the tele
graph informs US has passed the House:
An repeal certain parts of act entitled IAN
to exempt certain persons from military
dIty."
The Congress of the Confederate States do enact,
That the parts of the FIRST section of act entitled
- An act to exempt certain persons from military
duty, etc approved October llth. 1862. which
empts one person, either agent, owner, or over
seer, each plantation, or which one person is
required to be kept by the laws ordinance of any
State. and on which there is no white male adult
not liable to military service, and in States having
such law, one person or agent, owner or over
seer. on each plantation of twenty negroes, and
which there is white male adult not liable to
military service and for additional police for every
twenty negroes on two or more plantations within
FIVE miles of each other and each having less than
twenty negroes, on which there is white male
adult not liable to military duty, person. being
the eldest of the owners overseers such plan
taton. be. and the same are hereby repealed.
Some little discussion ensued, when the
bill was introduced, Mr. Barksdale explain
ing it at some length, and expressing his be-
lief that its early passage was of vital and
instant Importance. To this, Mr.. Clark, of
Ga, replied that he deprecated that style of
remark in the House which would have the
country believe that this revolution would
be thrown away, and the cause lost, unless
some particular measure was promptly treat
cd and acted upon by the House, to which
Mr.. B. replied:
He did But il known from
Federal Official reports that the enemy had called

Gen. J, B. Magruder.

Although the achievement Of this dis
tinenished officer was accomplished sew
eral weeks since, we cannot refrain from
referring TO it now 10 express our admi-
ration of one who may justly be consid-
cred one of the most gallant officers be-
longing to the Confederate Army. Gal

the enemy. who had strong feet in her
barbor; the other ports along the coast
we're likewise under their control. and the
State was not only suffering from incur
sions. but. as far as an imperfect blockade
could effect, she was cut off from COM
merce with the world. Such was the
state Of facts when. 10 the latter part of
last year. General Magruder was assigned
TO The command Of tina, Department. He
had been in Texas but a short time, when
he devised and executed an attack upon
the Federal feet in Galveston Bay. which
resulted in complete success. He cap
tured part of that feet-the Harriet
Lane among otilers-drove The remainder
entirely beyond the Texan waters. placing
the city of Galveston. with her harbor.
once more in possession of those TO whom
she belongs.
The courage and daring displayed by
officers and men in the capture Of the
Harriet L ane, is not excelled, We believe.
in any engagement during the war. Run
ming one of our boats along side of her.
our men boarded her, and her deck was
soon covered with the blood of the enemy.
The importance of this achievement is
only fully appreciated when we consider
that. not only has the city and barbor
been cleared of he enemy, but the port
is now open TO the commerce of the world
Commodore Decatur rendered his name
immortal by burning the Philadelphia !:
Magruder is entitled to imperishable glory
for an achievement requiring greater dar-
ing. and one which is certainly of far
greater magnii ude. When the history of
this war shall be written. the achievement
Of General Magruder will fill one OF its
most interesting pages.

THE WAR AT yIcKsnURc.

We have the Vicksburg Wbig of the
morning Of the 9Th. II states that the
enemy appears to be doing nothing except
work on the famous canal. A gentleman
from Arkansas, who left their lines Sat-
urday evening. says they had thousands
of troops at work widening and deepen
ing it. Saturday evening they turned
the water in, but the body passing through
was small. The enemy. however. ex-
presses their determination TO make a
cut off. and thus isolate Vicksburg and
as they have every facility for successful
ly performing the work. we shall not be
surprised if, in four weeks. there is q
sufficient body of water passing through
the canal to admit of the largest steamer.
1t, therefore, says the same journal. be-
hooves us to prepare defences at some
point or points farther down. The forti-
flying of Ellis cliffs. below Natchex.
might be good move. as it is evident
the enemy intend making a desperate ef-
fort to get their whole force by here to
assist Banks in reducing Port Hudson.
when they will return to this place.
Grand Gulf and Rodney are eligible po-
sitions. but cut off can be easily made
at either Of those places.
Information was received that on Fri
day evening the enemy succeeded in
transporting four thirty two Founders aud
battery of light artillery across the
point. which they placed in position some
distance below our batteries. 1t was
these guns. we suppose. that fred on the
steamer Vicksburg as she was coming
up on Saturday evening. Three shots
struck her. but did no serious injury.
There were but few transports at the
Yankee landing above the city On Mon
day. nearly all of them having gone back
Saturday night and Sunday forenoon.
The snpposition was that they had gone
after more troops.
LArER.-A gentleman who left Vicks-
burg on the evening of the 23th. in
forms us that the enemy appeared TO be
actively engaged. up to the hour he left.
as on the day previous, and the impress
sion was general that work on the canal
was being prosecuted by a large force.
Opinions as to the probability of their
success we're divided. Communication
from Madison parish. La. was entirely
closed-consequently no direct intelIi-
gence was received yesterday form west
of the river. The steamer Vicksburg
WAS lying at the wharf. and no steamers
had attempted to pass up or down since
the capture of the ferry boat on Saturday

REAEpy FOR SEMI DEsERrIoN.-A correspond
ent signing himself - Private who says the fact
of his occupying - low seat y enables him to
some things that those in high places do not, sug-
gests remedy for that great evil that affects our
army viz absence without leave. The death pen
atty fails. because it is not rigidly aud uniformly
enforced, and because those who leave, hope to es
cape by skulking for few months when peace,
with general disbandment. will bring oblivion. In
order to take this hope away our correspondent
suggests that Congress pass a law requiring the
Secretary of War to make roll of the names of
those :. absent without leave" and of the con-
scripts who fail to report at the camps of nstruc-
ton, from which roll the regular army should be
recruited for the next fifteen years. If such law
as this passed and enforced. there would be
few absentees. and the lazy, tired and lukewarm
would be in the ranks. with the devoted men who
are ready to suffer anythipg.-Picksburs IVhig.

TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE AT HAvASk-
DeoM Of the WIFE Of FARM tie Rope
Waiker.-A terrible and heart rending
catastrophe occurred in Havana. on the
9th ult., at the Plaza. Torres-Bull ring
MIR. Farini. the celebrated tight rope
walker. and rival of Blondin. advertised.
among the many wonders that he would
perform on the tight rope. the carrying OF
his wife across the rope stretched from
one side of the ring to the other. at the
height OF about sixty feet. upon his back
"a feat he had performed in other
places. He started with his lady upon
his back, and had nearly finished his
Journey across. within about four feet,
when the audience applauded the daring
act. it seemingly being completed and
the lady in acknowledgment of that APP
plause. loosened her hold upon her hus-
bands neck. and waved her hands. and
on the instant of doing SO. she discovered
that she had lost her balance, and called
to her husband 10 catch her. as she was
falling. This he attempted TO do, and
caught her by the skirt of her dress. but
the frail fabric was not OF sufficient
strength to sustain her with the impetus
given to her descent by her fall. and. oh
horror the dress gave way. leaving
piece in the unfortunate mans hand as
he hung suspended from the rope. sus-
tanning himself by the joint of his knee
by means Of which he had saved himself.
and she went down crashing among the
seats that ascend from the curb OF the
ring 10 the top of the Enclosure. She was
taken in hand BIZ the ladies in the neigh
borhood. and everything that could be
done was dcne The wealthiest ladies of
Havana we're at her bedside. and soothed
her dying pillow. She was embslmed
and placed in one of the inches in the
burying ground. Il is said that from
$4,000 to $4,000 will be raised by
subscription for the child she has lef. be-

be the fate OF Vicksburg. she has done
enough TO deserve rlsce in history be-
side those cities whose defense has been
the most heroic. and whose names have
