ALL QuIEr.-The latest advices report
all quiet in the Shenandoah Valley. Re-
cent information from Kanawha Valley
does not confirm the ramor that an enemy's
force is marching on Barboursville. There
is positive indication that the enemy con
tsmplates an extensive raid in the Kanawha
region; still, the truth is, the enemy is pre-
pairing, in the neighborhood of New River,
for an as vet unknown movement.

EXPLOSION OF OUR MINE.

The object CT the explosion of our mine
on Friday afternoon, was to oiow up sap
which the enemy was running towards an
important position on our centre. This, it
ls believed was very efectually done, al
1t Is known that the enemy's gallery ran
very close TO the point at which the mine
was sprung. 1t is thought that this affair
Will completely check furthet mining op-
era'ions ON the part of the Yankees at this
point, and render them exceedingly eau
tious elsewhere.
What the enemy's loss was, cannot Of
course be estimated, and while it could
not have been severe-tne mine not ex-
tending to their breastworks-it is thought
that number OF men 'went up" Or were
buried beheath the earth. Those who
were engaged at the time in prosecuting
their nnder ground work must have per-
5s+@~ lie d posIion oi their sAirnIlsh
lllc suAled a similar fate.
The enemy were taken completely una
wares, aud were thrown INTO considerable
confusion From .:.t.t running to and
f-o, it c0n!a be seen tnal the,y " eIe scared,
and partially cemoraiized, even by the
explosion outside OF their works. 1t was
not intended, however, to make any at
tack, though amidst the heavy cannonad-
ing that ensued, our men poured volley
Or two OF musketry into the ranks OF the
frightened tellows.-fet. Express.

ABOUT MOBILE.

Mobile Bay sets up from the Gulf, and
is 35 miles long, and, on an average, is Il
miles broad. 1t communicates with the
Gulf by two straits, one on each side OF
Dauphin Island The strait on the west
side will not admit of vessels o1 more than
5 feet draft: but that on the east side, be-
tween the Island and Mobile Point, has
Is feet water, the channel passing within
few yards Of the Point. There is a bar
across the bay, near its upper end, which
has only or 10 teet water
The entrance to the harbor is defended
by Fort Morgan, situated on long, low,
sandy point, at the mouth of the bay, 35
miles below the city, opposite Dauphin Is
land.
Seventeen Of TIE enemy's vessels have
succeeded in passing Fort Morgan, after
an engagement, in which enc OF the yam
kee monitors was sunk. Before getting in
she.ling distance of the city, the vessels
will have to pass the bar at the head of
the bay; besides eucountering obstructions
IN the channel and passing defensive for
tlficatlons of great strength
All who receive intelligence of the na-
val engagement will feel deep regret on
hearing that the gallant Admiral Buchan-
en- is severely wounded and prisoner
1t will be recollected that A Admiral Buch-
amen commanded in the great achievement
Of the ram Virginia, in Hampton Roads,
and was wounded in that engagement.
The tennessee was said TO be very
strong vessel brit it is supposed that shot
from fifteen inch guns, fred at short range
overcame the resistance of her armor.

THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH THE
NORTH WAGES THE WAR.

l Jetfersonlan, contesses, IN a late article
the spirit of extermintion with which the
north wages this war, Here is what il
says on the subject
/ Five minutes conversation with an ab-
oiltionist will reveal to you the fact that
he conceives that the people Of the. \ NoIth
actually own the people Of he South, and
! that it is nothing short OF the most unpar-
aileled presumption. for tEem to suppose
that they have any right to houses, land
Or estate, much less to that Of self-govern-
meat. These men are so intractable, say
they, $50 bitter, determined, that there
will be no living with them in the future.
W must exterminate them and seize their
property"
This highly humane and Christian con-
cIusion Is reached with the most perfect
GOODNESS and composure. OF ccarse. why
should it no. be so Are W. not more
civilized than they Are we not more
intelligent! DO we not exceed them in
all The humane and gentler virtues2 La
word, are we not the saints and does not
the world belong to the saints? Surely
it does. Ergo, the South belongs to US,
and as long as we can print greenbacks
and buy the people to do our fighting for
US, We will keep up this war of extermi
nation. We do not expect to conquer
them, but We have two or three to their
one, and with generals who are willing to
turn Wholesale butchers, we can "wipe
them OUT i'll the expressive language used
on Sherman's raid.
This is the programe now adopted. The
war is QUE simply for determination. It is
waged for that purpose. The idea Of be-
ing able to conquer the South has long
since been abandoned. It is simply a cold
cruel war of bitter extermination There
ls not even one spark Of generosity to sof-
ten its compositions of malice, cruelty and
slaughter. Over the heads of the men
fighting more bravely than men ever
fought, hangs the vile threat of negro
equality, and the confiscation OF all their
property, and yet the people profess to
wonder why they are SO bitter 4s4is is
like knocking q man down, beating aim
nearly to death, stealing his clothes and
leaving him BY the roadside in p1tiless
storm, and then wondering why he does
Dot love and embrace u.s. IT these people
who are urging on this crusade of slaugh-
ter would sit down calmly for five minutes
and ask themselves how they like the meas
ure meted out to them, they could not de-
celve themselves longer, unless as is most
likely, they wished to be deceived.
