the following deserved compliment to this
Institution:
Glenwood Young Ladies' Seminary at

FOR TIE SPIRIT OF TRR AGE.
A .Bereaved Family. ga

In Carroll county, Va, near Mount Pleas
ant Church, lived the family of Carter Cox.
Both parents and children were alike devoted
to temperance, piety and religion. The
commencement Of 1862 saw this family,
and wife, six sons and three daugh-
tiers, all IN the enjoyment of health, indus
trious in the pursuits of business, kind and
affectionate to each other happy in the
service of God they lived. But, alas! a sad
change came quickly over that family in a
few short weeks Hamilton, Fleming, Melville.
Drusilla and Leah had all fallen victims to
Diptheria. Giles A. Cox, the eldest son was
in Gen. Floyd's staff and has not been heard
OF since the battle OF Fort Doneison. W.
D. Cox, a younger brother in the army Of
the Potomac, died of fever at Danville, Va.
These pious children having laid up their
treasure in Heaven, died as happy as they
had lived-faithful. Some Of them when
speeches. in death, clapped their glad hands
in token of victory. How impressiVcly the
history of this family presents the sacred
truth" Therefore be ye also ready"
May the parents and brother and sister,
surviving members of this deeply afflicted
family, feel assured that by the assisting
grace of God they will soon rejoin their loved
ones in the blissful home of all the faithful
at Gods right hand in Heaven.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
A Species Of Patriotism.

We learn on good authority, that a friend
at Mount Pleasant, Cabarrus county, wishing
to purchase leather and furnish shoes for
Pleasant, was asked the enormous price of
50. rs per pound for leather, by a firm Ill
that village known as L. G. Heilig & Co
Such is the patriotism of men who have
been permitted to hire substitutes and stay
at home to speculate on the government and
poor soldiers families. We may add these
very same men have many %neighhors and
relatives in Capt. BIS Company. But they
would rather see their n%eighbors and rela-
tives in the army go barelooted, than sell their
leather at the reasonable figure OF 81 per
pound. 1t will be no hard matter to imagine
what are. the feelings of Capt. BIS men, and
what the consequence would be If peace
should be declared and they permitted tt
return. 1t is not strange that men having
such black hearts will pay large sums o
money for substitutes. Ii is natural tina
they should fear to die and face the Judge o
all the earth.

REPORTS FROM New ORLEENs.-A despatch
from Mobile mentions a report, which had
reached that city, that Beast Buffers broth
er, who had been in copartnership, with Ja>
cob Barker. in New Orleans, recently abscon,
ded With a large amount Of money. He had
also forged the Beasts nam to permits tor
schooners carrying or contraband trade. The
same despatch says that Farragut had a quar-
rel with Butler, denouncing him as a cow,
ard and thief, who robbed the people OF all
they possessed, and then gave them permls-
sion 20 leave the city. The quarrel was
caused, it is said, by a lady, who was robbed
and ordered to leave. appealing to Farragut
for protection, and Buffers refusal. Farra-
gut is reported to have said that Butler was
the only man in the United States whom he
was anxious to thrash, and he would avail
himself of the first opportunity to do it.

WAXING UP FROM A DBLUsIoN.-Ihe Chi
Yankee papers, freely conf, sses that the idea
of starving out the South" was a wretched
delusion, gathered from Helpers book, from
the New York Tribune, and from Wendell
Phillips speeches, which has cost the yam,
KEGS, says the Chicago paper, more blood and
treasure than all the Southern armies. 1t
quotes a few of their sayings, as follows:
''The South would not leave the Union
though a bridge of gold was built to pass
over" h,
s.The South could not exist three months
without Northern clothes, tools, nor manu-
f,ctures.n 'The whole civilized world would
be with the tree North in a contest with the
slayeEolcing South" THE ooutherne's are
semi-barbarians (Dide Summer,) nave
not the moral or physical stamina that
would fit them to fight Northerners," &c.
These are certainly laughable yankee no
. tions. and deserve to be recorded side by sid
= with the sayings OF those on this side OF tht
line who insisted upon it that We shoulC
have ''peaceable secession" that they voult
: drink all the blood split in the war" &c. &c

the killed and wounded in the North Carroll
ma Regiments, in the recent battles at Fred

the bravery and heroisn of North Carolina

The New York Herald says that Seward
consented to remain in the Cabinet only on
condition that the Conservative policy Is
carried out. 1t adds that Seward Is Violent
ly opposed to Lincoln's negro proclamation:
All accounts agree that Lincoln Is deter
mined to stand by his emancipation procla-
nation. It is understood that he would is
sue another on the 1st inst, indicating the
States and parts of States in which slavery
is forever outlawed. Ii so, according to the
Herald's declaration, it would seem that Sew
ard will not remain in the Cabinet.
