place in your columns.
have been in the service of. the Confederate
army for two years, have been defending the
rights of the South as honestly as could, and
have been an observer of human kind for num-
Der of years, and for the last six months, there
has been greater change in the moral DISPOSE
tons of the people, than once thought could
ever take place in any generation. The great
mass OF the people have come to the conclusion
that soldier is not fit to come under their roof,
and charge them at least ten prices for milk,
butter, cheese, or any thing they get from them;
and if they see soldier about the stores of q
town, they will sneer at him, except it is COM
missioned officer; and if they did but know it,
the soldiers are as good as the officers tits We
ry true that some of the soldiers will commit
almost any kind of depreciation whatever, but
it is not the general mass of soldiers that will
do them. The majority of soldiers are as well
raised, and live as well at home, and are as
much refined as the foppish class of people liv-
ing in these one-horse towns and villages But
when the Yankees are about to approach, and
we start to give them battle, we are met with q
cordial reception, and the ladies wave their
handkerchiefs at us to cheer us on our way to
the field of blood and strife, but as soonyas the
enemy turns his course, and we chance to step
upon the street, the same sneer is put up. Now
will just say to those sneering young ladies,
t hat we will not have them while the war lasts.
and am sure we will not marry them after it
is ended. Go. F, 64TH Va Rect.

A new Move for Grants Army.

The New York Times recommends q new
move for Grants army. It says:
1t is impossible to continue much further
the pursuit of Johnston on his present line
The low ground and difficult nature of the
ground, the scarcity Of wholesome water, and
the intense heat in that region at this season,
make continued operations there next to i'm.
possible. It would hardly be worth while
marching great army through Central Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, even if it could be
done.
Of course garrison will be wanted at
Natchez, Port Gibson. Memphis and other
points on the east bank Of the river, as well
as at Helena and other points on the west
bank of the river. But even if we allow five
or ten thonsond men for each Of these points,
Gen. Grant will still have large part Of his
present army at liberty for further service
Gen. Grant himself, it is said, considers his
next most proper work to be the cooperation
of his army with that Of Rosecrans. There
are certain points in Northern Georgia and
Southern and Eastern Tennessee, our posses
sion Of which is vitality important in their
bearings upon the great strategy of war
Knoxville and Chattanooga in Tennessee, and
Atlanta in Georgia, are among such points.
The two former are pivotal points where our
army, occupying central position, could
operate'to the greater advantage against the
rebellion, whatever shape it may assume in
the future. To take and hold these strategic
centres would require very large force. even
though it be that the rebels have no first class
armies there to assail us.
Ne think the Importance Of this cannot he

The Wytheyille Raid.

A writer from Charleston, Kanawha c0un.
ty. in the Cincinnati Commercial, pretends to
give, true account of the late raid upon
Wytheville, scarcely word of which is with
in amile Of the truth. He says the rebels
were posted in the houses Of the town, both
public and private, with reserve in the street.
He says the Court House and adjacent build
ings were destroyed, and subsequently, the
main part Of the town was fred and reduced
to ashes. The writer admits Yankee loss of
Sc in killed, wounded and missing, and snms
up the Confederate loss at not less than 200.
The Court house was uninjured, and not
20 houses~d destroyed, all, with two or three
exceptions, being small. Offices, stables and
out.buildings. Four persons, we believe,
were killed. among them Capt. Oliver, who
was murdered, being shot in the back after
he was captured. The writer also states that
a detachment was sent to Mount Airy, bat
found that place occupied by 800 rebel sol
diers, and the Reed Greek bridge strongly
guarded. He also says that Wytheville, con-
tanned q population Of sac Thousand.
The truth is, from 500 to 1000 Yankee
cavalry were whipped by about It's soldiers
and citizens, with the loss of all. their field
officers. There were not dozen armed sol
diers at Mount Airy, and not the fourth Of
that number at Reed Greek Bridge. In a
word, the whole statement Of the CONNER.
ciaps correspondent is untrue, and is merely
intended TO- cover up the disgraceful failure
and defeat Of the raiders.

Gen. Sterling Price.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail has learned,
from what it deems reliable AUTHORITY, that
Gen. Price has resigned his commission and
retired from the Army of Arkansas. The
reason given for this step is; that having
been placed in subordinate position to
Gen. Hhlmes. he was prevented from execu-
ting his plans for the liberation Of Arkansas.
This is greatly to be regretted; and, altho'
from the day Of. his Inauguration to the
present hour. we have never entered into the
hue and cry against President Davis, or
uttered syllable or word in opposition to
MS policy, yet we must say he has, to all
human appearance, acted unjustly towards
General Sterling Price. We regret to have
to say even thus much, for all depends
upon unanimity among ourselves, and a pro-
per support Of the administrative policy Of
the head of our army and navy. There can
De, IT seems to us. no earthly excuse for keep
ing Gen. Price in the background, and much
less for making him subordinate to little more
than novice in arms, and certainly greatly
his inferior as a commander Gen. Price is
one Of the most gifted as well as one of the
most sue :essfal' onmr n lers inthe Confederate
service, and should long since have been pro.
NOTED to the rank his services have SO richly
won.
Ills resignation is source of deep regret,
but not more so than the praise with which
the Northern Journals attempt to damn him..
They claim that he wentinto the Confederate
service reluctantly, and has yielded to the.
entreaties of his son, who occupies his estate
IN Missouri, to take the oath of allegiance to
the Lincoln Government, and retire to private
life. We don't believe word Of this, though
the allegation is going the rounds of the press

Negroes in the ARMY.

l+E
A writer in the Mobile Advertiser Of the
81, suggests. with good deal Of force, the
propriety of the employment Of negroes in our
army. in order to Offset the negro policy of
the enemy. He advocates the raising Of 4
force Of $4,000, to serve during the war. and
to be taken from those portions Of the Con-
federacy most liable TO invasion: This Is his
proposition The $4,000 men thus raised
should be so distributed in the army that in
each company Of one hundred, eighty should be
white men, twenty negroes, and SO on in that
proportion There should be general order,
ihfexibly adhered to, that each captain Of q
company should SO distribute the negroes en-
trusted to him as that one negro should be
assigned to every four white men, under.
whose immediate charge be should be placed,
cooking for them, and performing such other
mental service as might be proper. He should
DC required to attend them and prevented,
under the severest punishment, from associa-
ting or consorting with the other negroes Of
the company, especially at night. OF course.
he would not be detailed for guard duty or
any other involving like responsibility.
In reference to this, the Richmond Whip
reliarks-''rhe tenor Of the article implies
that this recommendation relates only to
slaves. The writer strangely omits all refer
ence to free negroes. whose duty it is as much
if not more SO than that of the slave, to fight
for the Independence Of the country in which
he makes living and finds adequate protec.
ton. It would be the part Of economy. as
well as Of justice, to put this class first in the
field, for they are, at home, comparatively
useless. They render no service as producers,
