VIRGINIA-From an admirable sermon
preached in Savannah, Ga by Bishop Elliott,
of the Episcopal Church, we take the follow.
ing eloquent extract:
Peace, with its soft eye and radiant wing,
has not come to us, but victory hae Victory
under circumstances most glorious and unex.
pected-nOt only on the land, but upon the sea.
Hsr angel has planted one foot on the earth
and the other Oh the ocean, and with his
sword of vengeance has smitten this Insulting
and vainglorious nation Aud what q noble
spirit has he infused into the heart of our Con.
federacy How It'll has warmed anew into fervor
Virginia, that old mother of heroes aud of
statesmen. Under the shadow Of the Federal
Government she seemed to be sinking into the
siumber of death, az one dies under the shade
of the poisonous Upas tree. Bat at the war
cry Of her children, "Sic Semper I'yrannis,' -
how her rich blood has rusAed back npon her
heart, and startled her into life The sound
Of freedoms cry has dissnchanted her, and she
has sprung full armed into the arena Her
noble acts have gathered around her from her
hills and from her valleys, from all her fields
OF historic fame, from the blue waters of the
Chesapeake 10 the dark, rushing torrent of the
Kanawha-sons worthy of such mother
ALI her old energy has come back to her. All
her power Of self denial and self sacrifice has
revived within her. Proud, fearless, indomi-
table, she looks into the very eye Of tyranny,
and makes it quail before her majesty Of right
and truth! Tue mother Of States, she bares
her bosom TO receive upon it the strokes
which are aimed at her children. Hurting de-
fiance in the teeth Of the oppressors, she pre-.
pares herself to conquer or 20 die. She hopes,
she prays, she struggles for victory, but kn0 "
ing that everything ia dependent upon her bold
stand, she fearlessiy takes it.

YANKEES WORKING WITH SOUTHERN COT
TON SPEcULAroRs.-Ths English papers are
giving a good deal of prominence to an article
copied from the New York Economist, com.
batting the idea that upon the conclusion Of
the war cotton will return to the old pricss
The article from the Economist contains the
following remarkable development:
A very large proportion of the cotton crop
is now virtually the property OF Northern and
European manufacturers and speculators--
Some of our Northern corporations haze a.
ready, through Southern agents, equally en-
terested in the speculation soith themsefUes,
bought vsry considerable amounts Of cotton IN
the interior Of tie South, to be delieeved at the
conclusion Of peace. They hsvs bought it at
merely nominal rates, and will some day real
ize upon it perhaps three times the purchase
value. The same is equally, or, perhar ., to .
still larger extent, true of English spectators,
who have now immense stocks Of cotton in
the South, nominsily in possession Of the
Southern sgen.s II would be unsafe to con-
clude that the speculative buyers Of this prop
erty will at once throw their purchases on the
market at the opening of the ports, and there.
by depreciats prices. Men who can buy 80
far In advance Of delivery are mostly those
who can afford to hold their stock for the most
advantageous market, and these far-seeing
cotton Spectators may be trusted 70 make the
highest possible plics, be their sales effected
early or la1e. For the above, among many
Yeasone, wo think those who imagine that
cotton will cell much below 2Oc: per pound
during the next seven years Will lind they
have wrongly eDtimatsd probabilities

A SMALL MISTAKE IN THE DArH-Dr
Francis Lisber. editor Of the Encyclopsdia
Americana, in II volumes, and formerly Pro-
fessor in the South Carolina College, stated at
late nesting Of the New York Historical!
Society, to honor the memory Of Mr.. Pettigru,
Of Charleston, that the Nuilifsrs in 1882 had
prepared TO massacre the Union msD, and that
as signal to begin the work Of DEATH one of
the adherents of Gen. Hamilton knocked down
Mr.. Psttigru, whose friends were ready to
meet the issue. The awful result was pro.
vented by the presence Of mind and forbear-
ance of Mr.. p, who quickly arose to his feet
aud declared that he had stumbled. But for
this explanation and turn cf the difficulty the
bells would have been tolled in Charleston
and the blo0dv drama would have opened.
ALI these facts were related by Prof L;eber
as occurring within his own knowledge. Un-
fortunately for his reputation, Columbia pa
per (the South CarOiinian} asserts that Prof
L. was not in the State during the notification
excitement, and did not remove there until
1885, when, through the influence of General
Hamilton, he obtained q chair in the College.

Rights Association, the object of which was
to protect slavery from Federal encroachnent.

stakeholder. His gallant son perished in bat

THE VICTORY At WINCHESTER.

The accounts which We receive Of the tri.
umph Of our forces at Winchsstsr leave NO
doubt that the victory has been decisive and
complete, with the exception that Milroy suc
cssdsd in making his escape. Under the ssle.
graphic head viii be found, in brief, state.
ment Of the extent of the triumph achieved.
We have been able to learn very little Of the
battle, which resulted in the capture of Milroy's
army, but are assured that our loss in killed
and wounded is quits inconsidsrxbIe, and will
not, It is thought, exceed one hundred .~.,
A gentleman who LEFT Winchester after the
surrender OF the enemy states that there were
thirteen regiments, numbering in the aggre.
gate about 600 men, and that, in addition to
these, 1000 more were captured at BerryviIIe,
In Clarke county, who had been dispatched
from Harpsr's Ferry to the relief of the gar.
rison at Winchester. The latter are repre-
sented to have surrendered without fring q
gun.
At Winchester, 20 sudden and decisive W. o
the assault upon the enemy's entrenchments,
that they did not take time to destroy the
large amount Of ordnansS and eommfssasy
stores accumulated at that point, all of which
fell into our hands. The number of horses
and wagons captured, with their equipments,
is variously estimated from three to five hun.
dred, and If we NAY believe the reports which
are in circulation, the haul has been the richest
of any since the war commenced Fifty pieces
OF cannon are also among the spoils.
How Milroy effected his escape is not very
clearly explained, but the report states that
he selected weak point in our lines, and
with q regiment Of cavalry cut his way ont
and hurried on to the Potomac. Whilst this
story does mot appear very probable, it seems
to be generally accepted as true.
In addition to the reports in connection with
the taking of Winchester, We have number
of other rumors as to the subsequent opera.
tions of our forces under Gen. Ewell. One
report says that they crossed the Potomac at
Shepherdstown on Monday night, and that
Harper's Ferry was evacuated by the enemy
on the same evening We think it not at all
improbable that the whole Valley is now in
our possession; but whether our army has
crossed into Maryland is question which yet
admits Of some doubt. If 1t has, sufficient
time has no: elapsed for the news to reach
Richmond in an authentic form.
The rumor Of the killing Of Gen. Smith in
the assault upon the entertainments at Win
chester, we are glad to be able to state, was
without foundation.

REVIEW OF THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
VICKSBURG

III IL w OZ i liz NAmx ALUM A(IkAxXNOx
VICKSBURG
The enemy landed seventy.fve thousand
strong at Grand Gulf on the 9th of April,
and was attacked by Generals Bowen's,
Gregg's, and Tracy's brigades, who fell back
after gallant resistance. The enemy then
advanced in the direction Of jackson. Our
forces fought them on the 18th and 18th OF
Mayiat Clinton and Mississippi Springs. The
enemy occupied jackson on the l4th, sacked
the place, and evacuated it on the 10th. On
the 22d Gen. Pemberton gave battle at Bakers
Creek. His forces fell back, and the attack
was renewed on the 23d at Big Black Bridge.
They were again forced to retire, losing q
number of guns On the Oath Grant laid siege
to Vicksburg, and on the 29th made an assault
on the works, and was repulsed every time
with immense slaughter. On the Both of May
he renewed the assault, with the same success.
On the 3lst his troops refused to renew the
assault, and the idea of taking the place by
storm was abandoned. He is now ditching,
and by sieges and parallels has at present got
ten within three hundred yards of our outer
works and mounted siege pieces, with which
he has opened lire, but without doing any
damage 90 far. Our loss in the series of at
tacks is about six thousand. Grants present
force does not exceed sixty thousand, noswith
standing heavy reinforcements have reached
him. Numbers have been swept of by sick.
ness aud desertion. No fears are felt with re-
gard to the subssting of our garrison. The
following is q statement Of the daily rations
now issued: "One quarter pound Of bacon'
half pound of beef, ve-eighths quart OF meal,
besides an allowance of peas, rice, sugar, and
moIaasea"

The State agrees to receive all issues Of GER

THE ACT WHICH BROUGHT BUTLER'S
CAREER TO ITS END.

The idea has more or less prevailed that
Butler was removed from his command for be-
ing too free ip the theft aud personal appro-
priation Of the property Of the Confederate
citizsns of that place and Louisiana. There
never was greater mistake. If the thief
had given fair share, even, OF his booty to
his own Government, he could have remained
in the Crescent City until the Confederate
army elected him thersffom, but his Msssa.
chusetts pockets gsped for more money than he
could wiring out of the Southerner, and his at
tempts to satisfy those Gods Of the Yankees
brought him to grief He commenced fleeing
British subjects, and the protest of Lord
Lyons finished his career. A correspondent,
writing from Mobile, who IL recently from
New Orleans, and il "a Virginian and regis
tered" enemy of the United States, sends Us
the facts of the case as follows:
The immediate cause of the recall of the
now celebrated Yankee General was the seiz-
inc Of all the property and money In the most
axiansive Wholesale and retail apothscary store
IN Nav Orleans, valued at several hundred
thouaand dollars; and this simply upon sxspi-
ci0n that the owner Of this property had Q par

their limbs ware graced with ball and chain.
