TIE Richmond Enquirer, in an article
headed The Consuls," in which it ~justiies
Mr.. Moore's not submitting his commission as
British Consul to our Secretary Of State, and
the annulling of his Exequatur by President
Davis, says:
Very we'll it is nov Mr.. Moore's duty to
ignore entirely both tbs Letters Patent and
the Secretary's note, and to proceed exactly
as before, discharging all the duties of Con-
sui, and issuing projections to those claiming
to be British subjects, who would otherwise
he obliged to serve in our army: He is not
permitted to submit his commission to an au.
thority of which his Government knows moth.
ing, nor to ask for an Exequatur from any
person or persons unknown. On the other
hand, it will be the duty of the President to
prevent him from exercising those consular
iunc.i,ns, and entirely to disregard his consu.
lar projections" Whereupoa, issue is joinod.
We are either an Independent nation, or we
are not if yes, then the President has taken
the only proper and dignifed course, and
airy nation which desires to protect its peo-
pie resident amongst US, knows the way to
de- it--recognize our independence and send
the proper officers. We desire to do no wrong
to Englishmen, or to any others ; do not want
them 10 our armies i; have no scheme Of spo-
liation or oppression to put in practice to-
wards them desire nothing better, in short,
than to allow them all their rights and i'm
munities, if the claim be made to us through
the proper officer.
Some of the Richmond papers, we observe,
in publishing these Letters Patent and the
S~ecretary's note, make the silly remark that
the objection to Mr.. Moore il special, and,
refers to his official misconduct personally"
Now, there is no personal objection to Mr..
Moore, and he has been guilty of no miscon.
duct. As to bis acting upon matters " in the
State of Mississippi" he has just as good a
rightto act in that State as any oiher-name.
ly, nc right OF all.
So far, then, from repeating tie phrases
about special case and personal misconduct.
we have the pleasure Of informing our read
ers that this act of the President puts on end
not to the Consul only, but to the Consulship.
There will never be another British Consul
az Richmond, unless he comes accredited to
onr Government, and asking from it his Exc
ouatur. Charleston and Mobile, We believe,
are now in a state of simil.r derel ction and;
abandonment to that in which Richmond
fiods itself. The citizens do not sleep the
worse, neither is their appetite for v%ictuals
diminished. The sun seems to shine as usual,
and to our mind, be shines rather brighter.
We hope nobody will be so stupid as to say
that this action of the President is an offence
ar . provocation to England, or may lead to
y rupture' or war. 1t lisa step long since
expected, and our great forbearance and de-
Law have been much admired-in foreign
lands not so much in our own.

Southern coast-one for the Altamaha, Ga,
and,one for the St. Johns, Fla. The latter
to ascend the river, and land troops at Jack

interior. The object Of both is to pillage, de-
stroy, and lug waste. The Yankees say they
will have no more pitched battles, as nothing

them This is the new mode of warfare which
We were threatened with a short time since.

Gen. Bragg,s Movements.

The Chattanooga correspondent of the Mo-
bile Tribune, writing under date of the 9th,
SAYS:
The movements of our army towards Muir
freesboro' indicate that Gen. Bragg is deter
mined that Rosencranz shall show his hand,
and not keep up an appearance of strength
under false pretences. We have therefore
made an advance TO feel Of the enemy, and
already several skirlnishes have occurred. A.
portion of our forces have advanced to with
in five miles of Murfreesboro, and if.Rosen-
cranz will come out of hNs Notifications an
engagement will take place. But if not, it is
supposed Gen. Bragg will not attempt to
storm the enemy's works without having:
learned his strength; in the Latter case we
may attempt to turn the enemy by q flank
movement and gain his rear. If Gen. Bragg
should succeed in crushing Rosencranz's army
aud cutting him off from Nashville, he will
not only retrieve his military reputation as q
General, but it would at once restore him in
the confidence of the people.

Patent Improved Wood Saw.

Whatever tends to tighten and
cheer the irksomc tolls of the laboring
man may be set down as a bencfac-
ton TO mankind. OF this character
We regard the new Yankee invention
yclept Patent Wood Saw" sample
of which can be seen at this office.
The frame is light and neat and the
saw plate of superior quality. while
the invention for straining the saw
when in use is novel, simple and efi-
cient. The invention is patented. Mr..
Il. NJ. Hayward, ZIG Lake street, Chi.
cago, is the General Western Agent.
Our merchants should order some of
these saws at once. They are sold at
the same price as other wood saws
and are in every respect superior to
them.

A Successful Competitor.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Wilcox & Gibbs Sewing
Machine. This machine is now being
introduced in this portion Of Iowa by
Rev. j. G.. Witted of Chickasaw and
is q successful competitor with the
other popular Sewing Machines Of
which SO much is said. The points of
superiority claimed by the agents and
manufacturers are, briefly, these The
needle cannot be set wrong, all others
may. The needle is less than half the
length of others, and is straight
hence it is scarcely ever broken, aud
of course subject to very much less
vibration and bending. The hemmer
and teller cannot be attached without
being exactly right, and may be put
on in the dark. The hem may be
made less than half the width of any
other hemmer, and is turned undcy, as
you want it. The machine cannot be
run backwards |; others can. You
need not touch it with screw driver,
or other tool to clean or oil it, or in
changing from one kind of work to
any other. 1t will sew the softest and
thinnest material without drawing it
or pickering it at all. 1t runs much
easier, and nearly twice as fast as
any other and SO still, it can scarcely
be heard. 1t is the only machine
which makes the twisted loop stitch !"
stronger than hand sewing and more
practical. There is no machinery
about it except the rotating hook "
and the needle not one fourth as
much as any other. 1t can make four
yards Of the neatest possible ruffling
in one minute and its greatest excel
lence is that any one, servant girls or
children, may use it. We saw their
machines in operation in Chicago, and
feel free to say that they appeared to
be just what is represented above.

Patriotic Resolutions.
CHARLES CRY, Sept. 20, 1SG

CHARLES ClrY, Sept. ~, 1868.
FRIEND HILDRErH At the Annual
Session of the Cedar Valley Baptist
Association, held at Waverly, Septem-
Der 25th, 26th and 9th, 1863, the
Committee on Resolutions, among 9TH
ers, presented the following
WHEREAS, Our Country is still scourg-
ed with a civil war, commenced and
continued for the protection, propa-
cation, and perpetuation ofSlavery ;
and our loved ones are still dying
to reestablish Unity and Liberty in
our nation, therefore
Resolved, That it is the imperative
duty of all Christians to sustain our
Government in all means known to
civilized warfare in subduing this Re-
bellion. ..--..s-
RESOLVED, That, as Slavery is avow-
edly the corner stone of this Rebellion,
and has ever been the chief cause
of all our political troubles, there can
be no permanent or desirable peace
until it is ground to powder and scat
tered to the wind, and we bid our
President God speed in his emancipa-
ton proclamation and every other eff
fort to crush it, by subduing the enc
mics of our country whether in the
North or in the south and that, in
determining who these enemies are,
we recognize the rule of our blessed
Lord, "He that is not with me is
against me-" as our only standard.
Resolred, That while as Christians
we repudiate and disdain all political
party yokes as such, we recognize it
as the right and duty of the Press and
the Pulpit on all proper occasions to
commend and enforce all moral and re-
ligious responsibility with political &C
ton and the right of man, disregard
ing all prostitution and perversion of
Gods word to the unholy purpose of
sustaining oppression and tyranny.
That we recognize nothing as true De-
mocracy or true Republicanism which
does not proclaim civil, political and
religious equality as God-given and
inalienable rights of humanity, with
out distinction of caste or color, sub
ject only to such restraint as may be
necessary to guard against anarchy
and the destruction of good govern
ment. ..
Resolrcd, That, as Slavery and all
other political evils among us can on
ly receive their final death blow at the
Ballot Box, it becoms us not only to
sustain our armies in striking down
our foes in the field, but to see to it
that every lover of his country and of
liberty deals telling blows in the right
and the righteous exercise of the cleo
tive franchize ...
Resoired, That, above all, it becomes
us to lie low before God in humble re-
pentance for all our National and indi-
vidual sins, beseeching Him that in
his infinite mercy he will speedily re-
store to us Unity, Liberty and Peace.
After spirited discussion, the reso-
buttons were unanimously adopted.

Shall it be Restored2

The American people trusted the
management Of their public affairs to
the Democratic party, for long series
of years. They bore with it, forgave
it it's errors, put confidence in il, trus-
ted it. supported it. and, in short did
everything for it that it was possible to
do. Blu, all in vain. The party be-
traycd the confidence of the Nation,
was false to its own principles, and to
the interests of the people, sacrificed
their dearest rights, and at last. to cap
the climax. the great majority of it is
now in armed and open revolt against
the Government, aided and abettcd by
a portion of the same party in the
North. Shall such party with such
a history be again restored to power |?
