. POWDER FOR THE PEoPLE.-The sys-
tenn of raids, adopted by the Federals, will
likely be pursued during the continuance
of the war Ourpeople everywhere should
be prepared in every particular to -repel the
devastating vandals. There is one thing
which various sections are destitute of, and
that is powder. The scarcity and high
price of the article has prevented store.keep.
ers from keeping their usual supplies on
hand. This thing should be remedied-
and that Immediately. Our people cannot
teach the raidiug plunderers, lessons they
will not soon forget, unless they have suf-
fcient supply of materials to do it with
We therefore suggest that the Governors of
all the States procure forthwith and distrib.
ute to the various counties most exposed to
these incursions of the enemy an ample sup.
ply of gunpowder. Every man has his shot
gun or rife, and then every man will be a
soldier. :.

MISCHIEF FROM SoRaHUM.-The refuse
of Chinese sugar cane or sorghum is said to
be very destructive to cattle, when given to
them for food. The outer coating of the
cane is very hard, and contains silex or
flint and when this is broken up by grind.
ing in the mill, and afterwards taken into
the animals stomach, it ates.like broken
glass, producing violent inflammation. The
Independent Guardian, Of Iowa, gives an
account of seven head Of cattle, who were
destroyed by eating this refuse sugar cane,
after the Juice was extracted. Its highly
important that the farmers who raise sor-
ghum for making sugar, as well as those
who grow it merely for fodder, should give
attention to this subject, and see whether
any facts within their own experience war
rants the assertion that the Chinese cane is
thus deleterious to live stock. IF it be SO,
the information should be circulated as
widely as possible, in order to prevent SO.
rious destruction Of property. .gss s

Preparation for our Dangers.

Since the repulse Of the feet ofiron.clad
gunboata on the 7th Of April, our, people
seen, to have settled. down, into3a condition
Of complacent inertness concerning the pub.
lie defences in this locality. Now, conf
dence is undoubtedly a good thing, and its
moral power is an admirable auxiliary, par.
ticularly in all military operations. But a
false confidence based on self.deception,
when once ..rudely shaken at the time Of
trial, only leads 10 decentralization and wild
dismay. In our judgment Charleston is
not yet saved, and this is no season for su.
pineness in the furnishing and application
of labor and material for the further secu-
rity of this city. There are no signs of a
final abandonment Of the enterprise of ia
king Charleston. On the contrary, there
are decided indications that the attempt will
be renewed in some direction or other,
The land forces of Hunters Department
exhibit no appearances Of diminution since
the early retirement Of the yeinforcements
sent from Foster. Several regiments are
Enthusiastically on Folly Island, and these
have been busy in building an entrenched
camp, in erecting strong works, and in
mounting Apvy iong-range guns bearing
upon Morris Island. Little Folly Island is
only projection from Folly Island, and
may be reoccupied any day. Several other
regiments are on Seabrook's Island, where
they too have an entrenched camp, and to-
day we publish that they are moving in the
direction of James Island. The Yankee
pickets in front of General William Walk
er's troops, in the southern portion Of the
! State, have recently been doubled. From
! Beaufort and from Hilton Head, within the
last two weeks, two bold and completely
successful raids have been made by the en-
emy, destroying many hundreds of thous'
ands of property, with the prospects of the
rice crop in one of the finest grain growing
regions in this grain-needing Confederacy.
Besides the various squadrons of. wooden
ships and gunboats lowering upon our coast,
six iron. .cladsare still in our waters. Com.
modore Foote, who has superseded Dupont
in command of the naval forces, is a man
of energy, daring and great success; and
he is abitter hater of the South. The des-
olation of our country and the reduction Of
Charleston will be with him labor Of love,
engaging his untiring and utmost efforts to
accomplish. By land and sea We need to
prepare to cope with enemies actuated by
undisguised and unmitigated ferocity, and
manifesting the disposition to leave no stone
unturned for our overthrow and utter ruin

a WORD to the Grumblers.

The papers and people in all parts Of the
Confederacy, are generally ygrumbling atithe
indefinite character and frequenti inaccuracJ
of the telegraphic dispatches from jackson,
via Mobile. The Mobile Tribune remarks
that-this is not strange. People in Mobile
grumble also; and no doubt will keeE
grumbling nnal they get rational. I +
Perhaps it is throwing ones labor away
to give areason to This estimable class Of
our population but we will, nevertheless,
say that unless we publish rumors, we shall
be obliged to publish nothing from .Vicks.
burg. There is no communication with
that city Fhe telegraph wires do not ex.
tend to;it. There are no stages, or omni.
busses, or orrailroad cars runningainto its
General Johnston himself, We imagine, gets
his information thence by rumor, or carrier
pigeons, or underground railroad, or some
other channel which is not at the command
of every one who chooses to use lit Be
yond question, it, would please him if it
were otherwise-if be were 10 daily coun.
sell with Pemberton but the crafty enemy
does not allow this; and, therefore, he him.
self, we suspect, is often obliged to pickout
his grain Of probable: truth from two or
three bushels Of probable chaff.
The Press correspondent denotes what is
rumor; and:if the quidnuncs like to endow
that with all the forms Of fact, it is their
fault, not ours. ~ r.. -
In short, continues our Mobile cotempo-
rary, and lastly, the gossips who do not like
this condition of things will send in their
plans and specifications Of a letter. Until
they do, we shall be obliged to furnish the
best that can1be. found, or nothing. Their
alternative would no doubt wound their
feelings and their intense patriotism. As
that great.philoaopher A. Lincoln. has laid
down SO clearly. something is more than
nothing little is greater thar q smaller
quantity-and one had better take what is
possible to get than to poke his fingers in
his eyes and cry because he chooses to re.
iect the whole loaf rather than accept half
of it., We leave this profound sea Of moral
and logical wisdom for the newspapers and
grumblers to swim through. 2
