Virginia Volunteer Navy Company.
The required stock for organization be.
ing subscribed, this Company holds an e.
lection for directors on Tuesday next, at
IL M, at the Virginia Life Insurance Com
pany.
This is cheering indication. It shows
the estimate in which our leading capital.
lists hold the scheme in point of patriotism
as we'll as profit; and as othe last there
can be no question, for all captured goods
can be brought in as easily as purchased
goods and there are various other modes Of
disposing Of them proftably.
This is so excellent mode Of carrying
on the war, that we hope to see every CON-
munity throughout the country associatiug
their capital for it. Killing his: soldiers
does net hurt the enemy. He rather re.
joiees at every fatal Confederate bullet, for
it kills an Irishmap, Dutchman, Catholic,
Democrat, or other low and perhaps obnox.
ious person, (and more can be obtained to
6ght) while he gets equivalent streams Of
blood, and hopes that all the lifetide of our
nation will have oozed ont before his strength
is gone. Such is his avowed horrible wish
and purpose.
Meanwhile his cherished manufactures
are fotrishing through the demands of war,
and the efforts of our blockade.runners; and
his darling commerce is pouring its treas.
ures into his Golfers. BY sending these
ships t., sea, we wound him in his vitals,
and that without losing our men,.
And though our great armies are aisin.
tegrated, and we be compelled to carry on
guerrilla warfare, which we are determined
on if the worst come to the worst, so long as
a spot can be- held for the Government to
rest on, or even if it live as itinerant, the
guerilla warfare of the ocean can be waged,
and thus ensure. our final triumph.
Let all exert themselves, then, put ships
to sea. Let the government redouble its
efforts. The sea is our best element, be.
cause we have no commerce to be harmed.
Every true heart has sworn enmity-like
that of Hannibal-undying. It lives with
life-ends with independence. With our
prospect Of years of war, we must put ships
to sea to the utmost Of our ability, and
while touching the raw and torturing tho
enemy-they losing and we not-we can
say, "Les the CALLED jade Vince; hny with.
ers are unwrung."-Richmona Enquirer.

Jackson Abandoned.

The telegraph has informed US that Gen.
Johnston has succeeded in safely extrica.
ting his little army from the tolls Grant,
with his immense force, was throwing a.
round him, The troops are safe and ready
for other fields; to have remained on the
other side Of Pearl River, would, without
doubt, nave resulted in their capture in o
very short time. Gen. Johnston has IN
doubtedly understood the precariousness Of
the position, and been working accordingly,
ever since he fell back. His belligerent
attitude during the few days he has been
skirmishing with Grant, was assumed only
to- gain time to remove everything from the
city, and this required time, as the means
of crossing the Pearl at that point are ex.
ceediugIy limited. All is safe, and the oc.
cupation of the ravaged city will but poorly
compensate the enemy for the. punishmenrs
inflicted upon him before our troops fell
back.
We presume the Lincoln Government
will at once establish bogus State Govern
mentor Mississippi, asthey have elsewhere
done. 1t may be expected, and those who
understand the intensity of the. hatred en-.
tertained for Mississippiaus by the Aboli-
tiouists, can only appreciate the severity Of
the rule that will be held over the State, so
far as it can be enforced by hired bayonets.
About all that is understood of General
Johuaton's position is, that he is in position
in the vicinity of Brandon. If true, we
imagine his proposed stay there is only TEN.
porary-that his object is to give time for
the removal of his stores. The country is
not supplied with water fer an army like
his, and any position he might attempt to
occupy could be fanked by Grants forces
without interruption. We are, therefore,
prepared to hear of his having made fur
ther retrograde movement at any moment.

H9- A member of the Goth Mississippi
Regiment, who was in Vicksburg at the
time Of its surrender, has informed the
R:andon, Miss, Republican that the Yam.
KEGS had undermined several of our fortif.
cations and blew them up, one of the ex.
plosious killing nearly every mau belonging
to three companies of the Sd Louisiana
Regiment. He thinks our loss does not
exceed 1000 killed and wounded. When
the Yankees entered Vicksburg they robbed
the stores and private houses of everything
they contained. He says there was no
chance in the world for our army to cut its
way out. All the roads to the interior were
very strongly guarded, and the timber felled
across them for miles, and the river was lit
orally covered with boats.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Far away In the sweet South land, my boys
In the South laud, bright and fair,
MY little cot by the mountain stands,
And my heart Is there, boys, there,
For my sweet wife sits by the cottuge lone
With my babe upon her knee,
And she weeps Us she talks to the little one
or me, MY boys, of me
When the battle banners fly, my boys,
And the battle thunders roll,
There'su vision that fills mine eye, my boys,
There's tempest that racks my soul
For see the cot on the mountain side
Where my danlnss weep and wait
And strike the foe with fiercer blow
And burn with deeper hate.
Though the braZcn trump of fame, my boys,
May never sound and thrill
With the lowly soldiers name, my boyss
Yet o, its glorious still,
To strike to the heart OF the vandnl foe
Ills glory enough for me
To strike for my wife and little one
That prattles on her knee.

thus enabled to make many returns, even
despite the untoward circumstances which
surround him in camp and ON the march.
Though there would of necessity be many
cases In which the Captain could not even
then make his return, in consequence of
his not having the necessary information of
the particulars of the death. But it would
be we'll worth the trouble of doing 50, for
every one interested, to send the Captain of
the Company, to which the deceased be-
longed, a certificate as above, to be, when
filled out and signed, returned to Col. w.
H. S. Taylor, I'd Auditor, at Richmond,

interested, to be by him or his Attorney,

A NARROW EsoApE.-Speakiug Of the
impossibility Of rendering aid to the gatri-;
son at Vicksburg, the Mobile Register says.
Tit had held out only twenty-four hours
longer Johnston's army would, without any
doubt, have been cut to pieces From what
has since been learned Of Grants position,
it is now known that if Johnston's force
had been doubled and trebleditcou never,
have got through the works Of Grant. =
The country for miles was defended BY
felled timber--every gorge and ravins .
fortified work, brissling with cannsu, and
converted into slaughter pen. We are,
.credibly Informed that it took some of our
paroled officers at Vicksburg fifteen hours
to ride fifteen miles through the felled TIM
Der and around the excavations and en-
.bankments mado by the enemy. Howlong
would it have taken an army to march
through the same works defended BY a su-.
perior force I? We claim that We havebeen
fortunate in saving the gallant little army
of Johnston, as well as the Vicksburg gar
risoh, from furtherloss.

Arrival Of 5000 Rebel Pri-oner~-M.ny
More Coming,

MAsHINGroS tuesday, May .. 1903.
Since Saturday, nearly 5000 Rebel prisoners have
been brought to this city. Seven hundred and
eighty arrived here at o'clock to-day, and were, like
their predeeessors marched to the Provost-Msrshals
Office under strong guard. Thence they were con-
veyed to safe quarters. The number il already too
large for convenient accommodation Additional
prisoners are to be sent up from the Rappabannock,
making In all 1000 and over certainly in our hands.
The prisoners present a shabby appearance. The
much larger part are dressed in dirty gray; The re.
mainder in brown, and generally in slouched hats.
Many Of them have good substantial boots, while
others are nearly barefoot. Not a few, instead OF
Ia wing blankets, show that Hey have made an ex-
tepsive levy on carpets. The prisoners are nearly
all young men. Their appearance in the streets ex-
cited much curiosity, but no 'rude or offensive re-
marks were made by the spectators.
Ambulances were busy both last night and to-day
conveying the wounded from the army Of the Po'o-
mac to the several hospitals
