WAR

We answer, the kapabliean party
The Republican party might have pre-,
vented the present devastating civil war
It might have saved the lives of thous-
ands Of the best men Of the Nation, ant
thousands Of millions Of the people'l
money. FoE proof Of what we say, Eest
the following from the speech 3f SrKPHKs
A. DouaL4s, delivered 10 the United States
Senate, January Sd, 1861, upon the com,

The WEATHER AND CRoPs.-The almost
daily rains of the last two weeks, with inter
vals of hot and sweltering sun, have materially
injured the wheat. 1t was for the most part
put up in very hasty and careless manner.
on account of the pressing demands of the
corn crop for attention. The consequence ha $
been, that it has sprouted badly. The crop
has been so large, however, that the amount
saved will far exceed the crop of any previous
year.
The same cause which has injured the wheat
has more than compensated US in the corn
crop. The heart of man could not have wished
for finer corn season. The most abundant
crops will be raised upon all the lands, includ-
ing the high sandy lands, which are always
ruined by drought
The fruit crops will be excellent also Never
in the memory of man has nature been so pro-
fuse in her bounties as at present. The star
vati0n policy of the Federals will be defeated
this year by the Almighty.

but it is doubtful if they attempt it. This
i the first Of July. The two months Of
May and June, in which the most danger
was to be apprehended, are past, and our
arms everywhere are victorious. Except
at Vicksburg, our armies are on the ad-
vance, and marching to The enemy's coun-

FROM Observation-Disclosures, 29th.-
Passengers from Harrisonburg this morn

wicks Bay, fired one round. ordered
charge, and captured about 1000 Yam
KEGS and about 10 guns, some of which
had been taken in previous engagement

from Brashear city, in date the 25d inst,
to the following effect, that Maj Gen
Taylor stormed the position of the enemy
on tile morning Of the 23d He crossed
the Berwicks Bay in skiffs, stormed the

them the seige piece that he was COM
PEELED 70 abandon III his retreat in April,
two trains of cars with engines all COM
piete, large numbers of small arms, ord
nance, ana thousands OF dollars worth of
stores. Our loss is small, as the forts
were storrned with the bayonet, the men
being forbidden to land.
We have also the following intelligence:
Col Major captured Plaquemine, destroy
ing three sea-going vessels, large quanti-
tics of stores, dc. On the 10Th defeated
the enemy at Thibedaux, taking posses
sion Of the railroad and capturing $50

June 1880 Yankee cavalry were this
side of Tallahatchie, s miles from Panoia'
Yesterday evening. Another column was
approaching on the Senatobia road It's
believed the enemy would enter Pamela
this morning. The invaders may be badly
whipped by lucky concentration OF our
forces.
The Little Rock Democrat Extra Of the
4th says:
EIGHT hundred Yankees entered Pamela
and set fire to it. They destroyed the
town of Batesville one mile east Of it, in
cluding the depot.
Grierson was badly whipped on the

kee camp when they were feeding their
horses near Hudson vile, ten miles north
Of Holly Springs, Monday, killing nine
teen aud taking twenty-seven prisoners,
horses and equipments. The Yankees
have all disappeared from around Panola.
jackson, June l7.-Numerous couriers
have arrived from Vicksburg in the past
few days. The reports they bring are
stereotyped beyond the fact that Grants :
sgppers aud miners are at work to blow
up yur works. Nothing new.
A courier from Port Hudson, with dis
patches for Gen. Johnston, last night, re-
ports the garrison in fine condition and
spirits.
Banks force is estimated at 10000.
lie also las abandoned the idea Of stUrm-
ing the place, aud has gone TO ditchins-
Official dispatches from Milikcn's Bend
state that our attack on that place was a
failure. The enemy had three lines OF
works They were driven from the outer
works, but made desperate stand in the
third, and, with the assistance Cf the gun

Orr GARRISON AT VICKsBURG.-
Many have apprehended that our garrison
at Nicksburg would have to surrender IL
not speedily relieved, on account of the
scarcity Of provisions. But we learn from
an officer who has just arrived, bringing
dispatches to Gen. Johnst on, that bounti-
full supplies for the next sixty days are on
hand; and as an evidence, we give below
4 statement of the rations issued to the
men daily, to wit;
One quarter pound of bacon, one half
pound Of beef, one quarter pound of -four,
five-eights Of pound Of meal, and the
usual allowance of peas, rice, sugar and
molasses. So it will be seen at a glance
that the gallant defenders Of the Gibraltar
of the West. instead of starving, are living
better than the troops in this vicinity, and
Of course if there was scarcity of subsis-
tence, it would be boarded by the COM
mander.
We sincerely hoye that all fears in re-
gard to this matter will be settled now,
for the above is entitled to the highest
eredit.-Jacksoa Mississippian, I4h.
Washington telegraph., 1863-07-08

r The denunciations of Gen. Penn
bcrton were 80 direct and vehement, that
for day or two our faith in him was
shaken. Time and events are doing him
justice He made speech to his troops,
the first he ever made, which is to the
point. He tells them that they have been
told he has sold Vicksburg. When the
last pound of beef and bread, the last
horse, OK and mule, has been eaten, and
the last man is dead, then he will sell
Vicksburg, and not till then. The Rich
mond Enquirer, noticing some rumors
concerning him, goes to the record and
shows from that, Pemberton went to Rich
mond within eight days after the passage
of the ordnance of secession, and was COIN
missioned colonel in the Confederate
service on the 18th Of May. He married
in Virginia, but had property in Pennsyl-
vania, and had expectations Of large for
tune there, all Of which he surrendered.
He resigned his commission in the U. s.
service before Virginia seeded, and was
never 10 command Of any of Lincoln's
troops. The clamor against him is traced
to spectators and extortioners, whose
operations he put stop to, and succeeded
in procuring provisions for his troops, by
which they are now enabled to hold Vicks-
burg. So, on this side of the river, we
find good officers abused by set whose
whisky selling operations, or breadstuff
speculatioDs, are intsrrupted.-True DEM

Ng~ misapprehension prevails as to Trea-

cember, 1862. After the 1st of August next,
1t is provided by law that they will be no
longer fundable in bonds. This does not affect

Ihey are good for their face, and payable ac-

in payment of government dues. 1t is said
they ''can no longer be used as CURRENCY"
but we cannot conceive what is to prevent it,
if people choose to receive and pay them out.
1t is best to fund them, of course, but there is
no use in depreciating them in advance.
