War News.

War News. ..,.-F
The rumored advance on Richmond by way OF
the peninsuls, mentioned in our last, is not con-
firmed. All quiet along the lines at Orange Court
house. The rumor that the enemy were retiring
at that point is SAID to be unfounded.
Gen. Sherman left the Big Black with twenty
days cooked rations He is said to have $4,000
men, and is marching in close order, annoyed 6y
our cavalry. Meridian was evacuated on the l4th.
Our troops had fallen back some thirty or for forty
miles from Jackson, in the direction of Mobile, and
the general belief was that Gen. Polk would give
hattie to Sherman. We trust that Polk will check
him and capture his command. Gov: Watts has
issued proclamation to the citizens Of Mobile stating
that the city WAS about to be attacked and advising
non.combatents to leave. we may expect st'rrne
news soon from Alabama. We have great conf
dence in the bravery Of the Confederate troops in
that quarter.

Traitors In Nfch mond.

Wehave heard it hinted more than once that there
are4undreds, if not thousands of Union men in Rich
mond, and the following from the Di.patch would
seem to confirm this opinion The Ditpatch says
truly and justly, that those persons who curse the
South or conspre against the government or assist
Yarkee prisoners to escape should be held to rigid
account; but is that paper quite sure that all the
subalterns Of the government at Richmond are
blameess in this respect, The recent escape of 80
many Yankee prisoners calls for tnc most rigid in
vestigaton. 1t seems to US that such thing could
not have happened without completely and corrup.
ton on the part of some of those who had these pr
soners in charge. The Di*patch says:
'"The benignity and toleration manifested by this
government to persons who, if living in the North
and exhibiting the attitude-toward that government
which they do to this, would ensure their consign-
ment to q dungeon, has only tended to make them
more bitter, treacherous, and m,lignant They
affect to regard IS . cruel aespotism government
which does not interfere with their freedom speech
and person, and which permits them to enjoy all
the rights of loyal citizens and the possession of
their gotten gains whilst curses for the Southern
cause and all connected with it are the only coin
which they pay for such clemency and indulgence.
If the Yankees were to come here to morrow the
worst enemies Of the loyal people, the most cruel
and savage prosecutors Of our and countrymen
would be these domestic traitors, who are unmo-
Tested in person, estate, or liberty by our people
and our government
But the time has come when the truth that those
who are not for US are against u.s. must be prac-
t,cally recognized and that piliul minority Of nen
and women who do not regard this as their couu
try, must be sent to that country which they do
regard as such, aud not permitted to remain here,
to assist Yankee prisoners to escape and piotreason
against the State. 1t is the custom of the Lincoln
government to send from its own limits better peo-
pie than themselves for not half their cffsnces-
Men and women have been expelled from the North
and driven from their homes and property, for
manifesting sympathy with the Southern cause and,
unless We lost to all selfrsspect and all sense
u justice to our own country,pen, will commend
the same chace to the lips of the traitors and mis-
creants here who are plotting the overthrow of the
government and the restoration Of the ''gloTious
old flag" 1t is no thanks to such as them that
Richmond has not been taken hundred times over,
and the Yankee prisoners let loose to devote the
city to fire and sword The authorities have duty
to perform in this matter, which is demanded by
the most obvious dictates Of public security aud
seifPreservation"

the writ of habeas corpus and thus humbly laid the

Some Of the Destructive journals, for party pur.
poses, are endeavoring to produce the impression
that the Standard is responsible for desertious from
the army. There is no foundation for this charge,
and these journals know it We have never writ
ten or uttered or printed word designed or cacu.
lated to cause desertion. On the contrary, We have
written and printed more, perhaps. to discourage
ds*ertion and to encourage volunteering than any
Editor in the State. But all this goes for nothing
with our enemies, because we advocate tho rights
Of the private soldiers, and because We insist that
while the war is prosecuted with visor some steps
should be taken by statesmen at home locking to
an early peace. 1t is not necessary that we should
caution our Conservative friends against the false.
hoods Of the Destructive journals, or the selfish
partizan policy which controls thep. These journ-
ais and those for whom they speak, no msttenxh That
they say omit to say, never draw . breath that
is not Of party. Their highest and only aim is to
"feather their own nests" They malign and mis-
represent us and resort to every device to rende:
odious because We are in their way; but IS long
as the people stand by and sustain Us we shall fear
nothing. Break down the Conservative party in
this State and silence the STANDARD, and the Do
structive leaders would have very carnival Of
power and rejoicing The "good time" for them
would come, but TRUTH and justice, and civil liberty
would be sacrificed. Truth, because the Constitu.
ton would be perverted and disregarded; justice,
because the weak would be trampled by the strong
civil liberty because military and martial law would
prevail over all
