A Remarkable Rebel Editorial.

The Richmond Enquirer of the 10th inst, con-
tains an elaborate article urging the necessity of
additional sacrifices on the part of the people, in
order that the rebellion may succeed. The En-
quirer says:
"The fact is admitted that rich
dresses are much more becoming to that amiable
sex, and we should always desire to see them re-
splendent in all the rarest tissues of the looms of
France, or at least elegantly neat in The fabrics
of Lowell. Yet they and all of us, had better
consider at what cost this sort of style is kept up
not present cost in money aIone-though that is
much while our soldiers dine on quarter of q
pound of baco1-but a future possible cost in
freedom and glory to our country.
In the first place, the war may very probably,
we think certainly last two years more at least
10 the next place, every dollar we pay for even
the most necessary articles-to say nothing of
Injuries, brought through the lines, is dol
lar paid into the Yankee purse. The Yankees
would lose that trade if the war was at an end
and our ports open so that all the large sums
paid for smuggling articles are direct bri5e to
our enemies to continue the war. AS for the
moneys given in payment for English and French
fabrics which come to us direct through the
blockade and which are not furnished to our mar
ket by Yankee merchants (and it is the smallest
portion,) those moneys are not indeed gained by
the enemy, but they are lost to u j., and. in this
way gain to the enemy. They add to the load
of our debt which is hereafter to be paid by a
great sacrifice of our staples.
A certain amount of that ruinous trade with
foreign nations is needful for the supply of our
armies with arms, ammunition and shoes ; and
anything beyond that, for the indulgence of pri-
vate Injury and extravaganza, is waste of our
life blood. If the women would but .ay this
to heart! If they once could fally comprehend
that in buyiog articles that come from abroad
they help to take bread out of the soldiers
mouth, to make the arms fall from their hands +;
finally, perhaps, to defeat all their gallant efforts
which the Yankees cannot do without our help] ::
perhaps to fling US at last under the ex
ecrabe domination of the West of all the
white races of this world to make our place
blot on the map and our name Kissing IF
they once laid all this to heart, they would make
haste to renounce the pomps and vanties, and by
the mere act of refusing to wear foreign garments,
they would do more Tor their country than if they
built dozen iron-clad frigates.
In truth, we shall soon be forced to put our.
selves on war footing in all things. Our tables,
our clothes, our very liberties must be on a war
footing. The President is not of o. nion that we
shall see speedy end of it and has in a letter
lately published, indicated the nature and extent
OF the effort yet to be made.

From the Messenger.

From the Sixteenth Vermont Regiment
DEAR MESSENGER We find ourselves
short of time to give any definite report the
present week. We are at home on a short
leave Of absence, and expect to start for Vr.
ginla on next Saturday morning. We lett
the regiment at Union Mills Va, Nednes
day p NJ. Of last week. We were then under
orders to be ready to march, at a moments
notice. This order was given on Sabbath P
NJ. We had disposed of al heavy baggage,
ard reserved no tents bat the light fly tents
which are carried by the soldiers. We were
to be prepared with seven days rationS ands
hundred rounds of cartridges to each man, We
had no knowledge of our destination, but con-
lecture that we were to cover the rear of Gen,
Hooker holding this line CT railroad to be
used by government to transport supplies At
the time we lett Virginia all movements Of NE
army were being delayed by terrible storm
which had been raging for nearly twenty-fou
hours and must greatly raise the streams and
increase the mud. But for the delay of the
storm there probably would have been gen.
eral movement of the army before this. We
are conf 'ent that stirring events are at hand.
We had sent forty.uine of our sick to the
general hospital, but we are not able to give
their names. The whole brigade were under
marc ing orders. The 18th Regiment had
sent nearly one hundred and twenty, and the
l2th Reg ment about one hundred and fifty
to the hospitals at Alexandria. The 18th
Regiment were enjoying very good health, on
the whole, but their Chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Sar'
geant, was very sick
The soldiers were in good spirits, and anr'
lous for move and eager to do service for
the country. If they are tried in active ser
vice good report of them may be anticlp'

New ORLEANS NEWs.-A correspondent of the
New York Post writing on The 18th, says:
"Our forces are, without doubt marching for
Red river, although headquarters are as Yet at
Brashear City. BY special telegram received
this morning from staff officer, we learn that no
important action has taken place, bat occasi nal
sklrmishing has infused life and enthusiasm into
the troops. The main body of the corps is be-
tween Franklin and Pattersonyille, and about
twenty miles from BraShear City,"
Gen. Banks issued an important order at Bra
shear City on the 9th, directing as follows:
"PiIIage and depredatons upon private proper
ty are forbidden and must be suppressed
Whatever prop rty is necessary for the support
OF the army will be taken by the Government.
and liberal compensation will be made there for
according TO It's value in the country where it is
taken, to all we'll disposed persons.
The loss Of property applied to the use of the
rebels, or destroyed by fire. will fall upon the
owners and the people.
II they ask reparallon for their losses, the pres
ervatlon OF their property, or return to peace,
prosperity and power, let them restore the Gov
eminent of the United States
A New Orleans correspondent of the Traveller
writes
"Gen Banks has made an imperative call for
large quantity Of heavy and light ammunition,
and the telegram to Lieut.. K. NJ. Hill, of the
Ordnance Department, says that all depends up
on the rapldity with which the ammunition is sup
piled. Gen. Banks means to fight, ell the troops
having gone over in light marching order, leaving
tents and knapsacks behind. hear that the Cen
eral took no tents or camp equipage with him,
and no wagons crossed save those belonging to
the Commlssary and Medical Department, with
the ammunition trains and the pontooniers. This
new order of things is ominous of big events and
great results"

A Cry FOR BREAD OR PEACE IN MOBILE
The New Orleans Era says that posters, of which
the following is copy, were posted up in the
most public places Of Mobile, on the 9th inst.
BREAD OR PEACE"
1t has not yet come to question of bread or
peace with us, but we are fast coming to it. If
our Government can compel a man with family
of children TO fight for it for eleven dollars per
month, it can compel, and must, those who stay
at home and enjoy their ease now, land will erjoy
our freedom whrn achieved, to feed the poor
children of poor fathers---tbs widows, whose only
sons are fighting the battles and enduring the ter
rible hardships of the march and camp, foodless,
cio,heless and shoeless. Forbsarance will soon
cease to be a virtue. AVID
Our wives, sisters and little ones are crying for
bread Beware !! lest they cry for blood also /!
We have had enough of exsorton and specula.
ton it is time the strong arm of the law was
extended.
The people will rise, sooner or later! There
are lamp posts and rope enough to cure this worse
than lreasoB--and the remedy will BE- supplied by
an outraged people. BRUrUs H."
