Our DEAD. AND WounDEn.-Gettysburg in
the history this war, is to be signalized with
Manassas, Shiloh, Malvern Hill, Frsdericks~
burg, Sharpsburg and other places, as field
sf blood. All accounts agree that Gettysbur
was the most severe and bloody conflict of the
war. The enemy doubtless was badly handlsds
but our own slain, and wounded and prisoners
number thousands. Our own suffering state
has mingled with the dust OF Gettysburg much
of It's best blood. Fathers, mothers, sisters
and wives mourn the fall of many noble maa
slain on that atal field. Our columns are toe
much straitened to name or enumerate them,
but we must be content to make q recor6 OF
their yalor and self sacrifice. For the dead
newspaper panegyric can do no good, nor csa
our prayers avail them. They have gone to
render up their last account. But for the wound
ed we may care, and urge upon our people,
who have never tagged in their u.uni6cenee. to
RENE mber them ia their Affections Let all be
done that can bs to alleviate and restore them.

From the Charlotte Democrat,
Vice President Stephens,

The Hon. Alex. I'll. Stephens, Vice Presi-
dent of the Confederate States, spent Friday
nlght in this place his way South. A large
crowd of our citizens assembled iE front Of the
Mansion House at s O'clock, and called for a
speech. Mr.. Stephens appeared and spoke for
about an hour in an eloquent and encouraging
tone. We will attempt no synopsis OF the
speech. but merely give an outline of the gem
tleman's remarks. He commenced by aluding
to the invasion ofMaryland and Pennsylvania
by Gen. Lees army-said that it had whipped
the enemy on their own soil and obtained vast
supplies for own men, and was now ready
to again meet the enemy on new field. What
ever might be the movements and object of
Gen. Lee, he had entire confio oence in his abili-
ty to accomplish what he undertook, for in a :
bility and intellect he was head aud should /.
ers above any man in the Z 4ankee army. He
commended Gen. Lee for keeping his own Sc
CT cts, and told the people not to be discourage
ed because they did not hear from lee over
his own signature. He would come out all
right IN the end.
Mr.. Stephens next spoke of the surrender of
Vicksburg and said that it was not an occur
renee to cause discouragement or sloom-that t
the loss of Vjcksburg was not as blow
as the loss of Fort Pillow; Island No. 10, or
New Orleans. The Confederacy had survived
the loss of those points, and would survive the
loss Of Vicksburg, Port Hudson and other
places. Suppose sad he, we were to lose Mo-
bile, Charleston and Richmond, it would not ef.
feet the heart of the Confederacy-we could
and would survive such losses and finally se4
cure independence. He was not at all dis
couraged as the prospect-he had never had
the "b!ues" himself, aud had no respect or sym
pathy for 'crsakers." The enemy has already
appropriated twenty seven hundred millions of
dollars and one million Of men for subju-
cation, and after two years of war had utterly
failed and if the war continued two years long
er they would fail to accomplish our subjuga-
ton. So far they had not broken the she'll of
the Confederaey. In the Revolutionary war
the British at one time had possession of North
Carolina and other States they took PhiladeI>
phia and dispersed Congress, and for long
time held almost complete sway in the COL
onies-yet they did not conquer US and if we
are true TO ourselves pow, true to births
right, the Yankee nation, will utterly fail to.
sabiugate us. Subjngation would be utter ruin
and eternal death to Southern people and all
that they hold most dear. He exhorted the
people to give the Government a cordial sup,
port, to frown dowa all croakers and grum-
blers, and to remain united and fight to the bit
ter end for liberty and Independence.

DOMESTIC LIFE.-Pleasure is to wo-
man what the sun is to the flower; If
moderately enjoyed, it beauties, it re-
freshes, and it improves-if immoderately,
it withers, deteriorates, and destroys. But
the duties of domestic life, exercised as
they must be in retirement, and calling
forth all the sensibiities of woman, are
perhaps as necessary to the full develop
ment of her charms, as the shades and
shadows are to the rose, confirming its
beauty and increasing its fragrance.
