Gen. Wheeler's Recent Operations.
a correspondent. Of the Chattanooga
Rebs writing from McMinnville, Tsnnes-
see, gives some Of the particulars Of Gen.
Wheeler's recent exploits. Nine miles be.
yond Nashville, Gen. w. arrested q train
on the Louisville and Nashville Road, and
captured an immense supply Of Federal
Government stock, burning cars, locomo.
tives, etc. Subsequently be approached
therear of Nashville by one of his oharac.
teristically bold and brilliant feats, within
nine miles Of Nashville, and pitched into q
train upon the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad. The train was halted, but not
before awellS directed Yolley had been fred
into the fast speeding cars. As a result of
this, exploit, General Wheeler had the plea.
sure of securing three Of Rosencrans' staff
officers, thirty.fve other individuals who
bore the insignia Of rank, and about 100.
Confederate soldiers who ohad been captured
and were opsheir way to Jail. The little
yolley fred into the train resulted in killing
some thirty Federalsoldiers, and wounding
thrice that number. r.
Among the spoils Of Gen. Wheeler, are
S35, ,000in Federal greenbaeks. He also
secured the celebrated Trautso pistol, just
presented to Gen. Rosencrans BY some time
serving Yankee, and inscribed with the
name Of seven battle fields, upon which old
Rosy had distinguished himself.

We have before US from the henery of
Mr. Hugh M Jackson, three mammoth
eggs, being cross of the Shanghai and
Bramah Pootra. We have looked in vain
70. any mystic hieroglyphics, but as two of
them are damaged at their points, they re-
mind usof certain shells that exploded quite
harmlessly ina certain quarter week or
two since. Eggs are "a shell.fsh" and
oysters q ssyegetable" we were always par
tial to-it is therefore gratifying to know
that the blockade has not deprived us of
such lnxuries. The article before US might
suggest a nog for three of US, but the sweet
euin' and the ardent is non -comatible these
times, so We err most eggregiously in smack
ing our lips over foregone conclusions. We
thank our friend for his attention, and con-
sign the erustaceous critters to plate of
ham, if ourlarder can afford it. This is a
great country, especially when the feather
ed tribe are contributing so literally to the
general relief. This is surely "foreign in
tervention."

The Right Spirit.

We notice an advertisement in the Fin
castle .Eapress which informs the public
that the subscriber is erecting Sugar Mill
there in order to manufacture sugar and
molasses out of the Chinese cane, and he
urges his friends to the cultivation Of that
plant. Why cannot similar encouragement
to raise it be offered il this and every other
section of Virginia? Cut off as we are
from our supplies of sugar and molasses from
Louisiana aud the West Indies, our farmers
have it perfectly in their power to furnish
large quantities Of both articles; simply by
planting the Sorghum, which grows luxu:
riantly upon oursoil. The seed it is stated,
we have no doubt truly, if we'll 7parched,
ground and then thoroughly boiled, make
better substitute for Coffee than any other
thing that has ever been tried. 1t is said
to taste very like old Java and very few can
tell the difference between the two. The
stalks after being crushed are devoured
with avidity by hogs and make a first rate
feed for these valuable animals. The blades
when gathered and cured turn outan excel.
lent crop Of fodder of which horses and cat
tie are extremely fond. What other plant
farmer cultivates that can be turned to
more useful and profitable account? 1t is
wonderful how slow and reluctant our peo.
pie are to embark in an enterprise so tempt
ing and SO laudable, We would say to them
in the most urgent manner-raise the Chi,
nese Sugar Cane, by all means. Raise it
on large scale, and if you will do this there
will be an abundance of sugar and molas.
ses in our land, which will at the current
market prices splendidly remunerate you
for your labor. .ttl1

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Edgefeld advertiser publishes SUM-
dry resolutions offered by Gen. Darlington,
at the late. session, among which was the
following; being rejected, the whole was
Withdrawn -.
aReso7red, 5. That any attempt to de.
preciate the currency of the Confederate
States by refusing the same in payment Of
debts, orby any other means, while it ex-
bibits want of patriotism and fidelity to
the cause in which we are engaged, has a
direct tendency to imperil the liberties and
independence Of these States, and should be
discountenaneed by all good and true citi-
zens.
The same paper goes on to state that the
following districts voted for the resolutions,
viz: Union, Newberry, Lancaster, Orange
burg, Pickens, Chester, York, Spartauburg,
Fairfield, Edgield, Greenville, Marion, and
St. Pau!'s Parish. 1t will thus be seen
that the up-country went almost in body
for the resolutions. The senators from An.
derson and Abbeville were absent, and
there is d vacancy in Laurens.
Whatpbjeetion the SLOW country" if we
have to nete distinction, can. have to the
resolution, the people Of this section would
like to know-we believe the soldiers every
where are interested in it, and that the re.

THE WILLIAMSBURG AFFAIR.-From a
letter written by an officer of Gen. Wise's
command to gentleman in this city, under
date of the 18th, we have some information
with reference to affairs at williamsburg.
The letter states that the enemy had sur.
rendered the possession of the town to our
forces, and that we have troops there. The
citizens Of the place were moving out rap.
idly, perhaps in anticipation Of further fight.
ing, and were receiving the protection of
our forces. The officers of the Insane Asy-
lum have appealed to Gen. Wise for pro.
lection, which was accorded. A consider
able number of. conscripts and contrabands
were captured by our men. The loyal
people of that section have saved large
amount of forage, which was being hauled
away as rapidly as the means of tFanspor.
tation would allow. There was, also, some
bacon and salt secured.
Our forces were greeted by the people of
the ancient town with marked manifesto.

FOOD FOR THE ARMY.

rs The call OF President Davis, for supplies
10 the soldiers is being fully responded to
throughout the upper part of this State,
and North Garolina-primary meetings
have been held, and if We areto judge from
our own District, ample pre7ision will be
madefor all accessible portions Of our army.
Even in Virginia, where but little was to
be expected, large amount has been con-
tributed by Amelia and NottoWay counties,
andthns the idea Of suffering may be set
aside for the present season, while the
promise Of large crops will leave little room
for forebodings in the future. 1t is to be
hoped that the present spirit Of our people
viii be exercised after the army is cared
for, and that our own people will be thought
Of, and not jeff prey to the Spectators,
who may endeagor to take advantage Of the
large amounts that are being sent away to
enhance prices. Our farmers who send pro-
dnce to market can always sell to private
citizens at remunerating prices, and thus
alloW them the privilege of purchasing for
TIER own consumption at first cost. We
think speculation in bread stufs is on the
ebb, anditi in the power of producers to
keep it.there, if they will.
