Northern Faith and Southern Dlstrust,

The Richmond correspondent of the London

uttennoe to some very remarkable sentiments
considering the source from which they come and
the organ which gives them to the world. We
make the following extract

ing stage in this war which will test more than
ever the stubbornness and tenacity Of their temper
and patience, and can only be successfully encoun.

PROFOUND IGNORANCE OF THE POOR WHITE
TRASH IN THE SOUTH Capt. Randolph Of the
80 (coored) South Carolina Volunteers relates
story OF prisoner of war, exempli-
f,ing the sublime ignorance in which the poor,
non-slaveholdng whites Of the South are st"eped.
Last February, when the United States troops
penetrated to Jacksonville, Fla, some Cobfsde-
rate soldiers we're captured. A motley crew they
we're, whose picturesque variety OF ruggednes'
bore here and there some indications OF aim at
military style, but nothing OF what could be called
uniform. Two men claimed exemption from cap
ture as being civilians Que OF the two owned TO
having been impressed into the Confederate
Army, but alleged that he had got his discharge
and was civilian " How long were you a sol
der ?" asked Captain Randolph. "Ibree years"
replied the prisoner "The Confederate Army
has been three years in the fsld, eh p asked the
Captain. NO." answered tie cracker, but
was in the State of Florida service part Of the
time" How long were YOU soldier for Flori-
da ?" 1.-Two years" said the ex-conscript. And
how long has this war been going forward T"
asked the c. plain again. "WeIl, ! suppose 90.
lng fifteen years, replied the prisoner. 4" Are
YOU snre Of that" bis aptor inquiries. Now, |
havn't kept no strict tally" said the Foriditn
veteran "but this do know-sartn. we've been

THE SIoux INDIANS WANT PEAcE.-We find
the following in the St. Paul Pioneer Of tue Goth
instant.
We have received trustworthy information
from Fort Garry that two headmen Of Standing
Bufilo's Band Of Sisslton Sioux recently visit
cd Fort Gary, Tor the purpose of asking the
intervention OF the B-idsh authorizes in making
peace tor them with the Americans lhey rep.
resented their people as tired Of the war suffer.
ing great deal irom pryauons, and anxious all
Of them 10 make peace They asserted, too,
that their band had boen opposed to the war
upon the whites, and had only a part fought
them in sell-delence, none Of them having had
part 10 any massacres.
These two were however accompanied by a
younger warrior who breathed nothing but war
and desolation against the Americans. He was,
however, pronounced great boaster, brdggart,
and was not thought at Fort Garry to represent
any considerable number Of Sisston Sioux.
These Indians gave to the officers at Fort
Garry description Of the battles with General
Sbley at the Big Mounds, near the Missouri, &C.
cordng to which they were un ilhngy forced
10 fight by the apparent danger to their women
and children, aud fought desperately so long as
was necessary to secure their safety. They un-
hesltaung ly acknowledge that the Indians were
whipped by General SItley and were glad enough
to get away from him when their women aud
children had crossed the Missouri

A REBEL Wall The Richmond Enquirer
says - Our losses by the enemy are rious
Those of East tennessee are ncalculable. We
are not oply deprived of the vast aour mills of
that country which cop'ously supplied the army,
but of vast machine saOPs extensively organn4d
at Knoxville. We a:e cut of from the coal,
iron and copper mines w1lch are worth millions
us. All the copper rolling mills at Cleveland, ,
superintended by Col. Peet, Governmeml Agent,
which were burned by the enemy, formerly
turned out six thousand pounls oil copper per
day. Oser ,O0O,O ,OOU pounds have been deliver
ed to the government. This was the only
copper.rolng mill 10 the country aud 1t kep' us
supplied with copper tor our caps aud cannon.

nooga, which is spoken Of as mostly resulting in
the loss Of few thousand meu,"

duty next morning. So much for our share of
the battle of Locust Grove. The next day, find
ing the enemy had left, we went on some six or
eight miles through the mud and rain, and
found the rebels entrenched beyond q small
stream called Mine Run. The mex. day, Sun
day, was spent getting in position, reconnoiter-
ing etc. Early Monday morning we were on
the move to the front. We advanced to the
picket line, and being deployed as skirmishers
soon after daylight, crossed the Run and ad-
yanced on the enemy 3 outposts We soon had
the satisfaction OF seeing them on the skedade,
and, supposing we were to be followed up by a
line Of battle, we, on our part Of the line, kept
on and drove the rebel picket skiImishers and
tmal force that came out in line Of battle, from
one ritge to another, right up to their first line
OF breastworks, over them, and out Of sight in
the woods beyond We then got orders to fall
back to the first ridge beyond the Run, as it
was not the intention to bring on battle at
that time. This we did in good order, and akir-
mshed with the Johnnies from that position,
till dark, when we were Withdrawn to the other
side Of the creek and acted as pickets until next
morning. Ia this day work our company lost
none, and the regiment only one killed and four
wounded but the one killed was one whose
loss will be severely felt. Our brave Lieuten-
ant Colonel G. lrapp, who was shot through
the head by rebel sharpshootor He had
been in command Of the regiment long time,
and was well liked by the men. The next day
we rested in hourly expectation that the great
battle would commence, but instead Of that we
started near night for grand rctrograde move
mont and marching all night, re-crossed the
Rfpidan at Germania Ford, and Thursday
morning, just one week from the time we start
ed, were back in our old camp, glad to get
little rest, but rather doubtful as to the utility
OF the whole movement but perhaps it paid, it
IS not for me to say, Since that time nothing
very important has transpired to disturb our
tranquility The most interesting topic being re.
enlsting in the veteran corps Nearly all in
our regiment who wish to re.cnist are recruits
who came in last fall, and they are told that
they can't come in because they have more than
year yet to serve on their first term, when
they confidently supposed that they were to be
mustered out with the regiment. However,
there is new order out which may throw a
different light on the matter

BRANDY STATION, Va, Dec. 81.
EDITOR FREEMAN As during our late cam
paigu across the Rapdan there was no commu-
nicauou with the loyal part Of creation, and
was unwel for some time after getting back to
camp, | supposed some one else would send you
every thing interesting connected with that e1-
pedition, but as have seen no report from the
sharpshooters in the freeman, will send YOU A
few items that you can use as you think best.
Our regiment crossed the river Thanksgiving
day with the rest Of the third corps, climbed
the steep bank on the other side, and soon camn.
ed Tor the night Next morning we resumed
our march and soon entered the wilderness, af.
ter which we had frequent and long halts. We
could hear considerable skirmishing on ahead
but as the second and third divisions were in
front Of us we did not expect to get into much
of a fight unless tho enemy was found in large
force. But as the day wore on, the firing in.
creascd, and we that is the third division !
were to advance toward the scene of conflict
We found the third division lighting desperate
ly, but they had begun to fall back, therefore
we were formed in line of battle behind them
and as they tell back we advanced and tool
their place. While doing this we had to face
CALLING fire from the rebel line, which was in 20
sidon on the other side OF small clearing som,
two hundred yards from the edge OF the woods
but we kept on to rail fence which ran alonl
the edge Of the woods, and haltng at the fence
began cur work in earnest. Contrary to tn,
usual custom, the sharpshooiers had to s!anc

Polygamy may be defined as the union for life
Of a man with two or more women. And thi,
Kind Of union appears to have existed as an e.
ublished institution in all the ages OF our world
by the universal evidence OF all history, whether
sacred or proaue
This understood, shall not oppose the preya-
lent idea that polgamy is an evil in itself A
physical evil ii may be but thi, does not satisfy
the Judgment OF us more Jealous adyersu rle,.
since they contend that it is a moral ,yIl-' posi-
tive sin in man to be married simultaneously to
more than one woman.
Here, therefore, es the true aspect Of the con
troyersy And il is evident that il can only be
settled by the Bible. For every Cnristin is
bound to assent to the rule Of the inspired ApoS
le that sin is the tnnsgression OF tie Jaw,
namely, the law laid down in the Scriptures by
the authority Of God-the supreme "LAwgiyer
who is able 10 save and To DESTROY" From His
Word there can be no appeal. No rebellion can
be so airocious in bis sight as that which dares to
rise against bis government. No bAsphemy can
be more objectionable than that which lmputes
sin or moral evil to the decrees Of the Eternal
Judge, who is alone perfect in wisdom, in knowl-
edge and in love.
Ii il were a matter to be determined by my
personal sympath es should be as ready as any
man to condemn the institution Of poygamy, for
all my prelud,ces OF education, habit, aud social
position stand opposed to it. But as a Christian
am solemny warned not to be "wise in my
own conceit,' and rot "to lean to my own un-
derstanding.p Asa Christian, am compelled to
submit my weak and erring intellect to the au-
thorty OF the Almighty. For then only can | be
safe in my conclusions, when know that they arC
in accordance with the will OF Him before whose
tribunal | must render suiot account at the last
great day.
proceed, accordingly, to the evidence of the
sacred Scriptures, which long ago produced com.
plele conviction in my own mind, and must, as
regard it, be equally conclusive to every candid
and sincere inquirer
The first ap earauoe of poygamy in the Bible
is in the case Of Lamech, Ghh in descent from
Cain, whose two wives, Adah and Zlhb, (Gen
iv. 1929 are mentioned by the inspired writer
without any expression OF reprobaton, or any al.
luslon to the transaction being unusual or irregu
lar. Introduced thus early, It may be regarded
as among the primal principles of human society
though our knowledge OF antediluyan times is toe
scanty to enable US rightly TO determine it's ex
tension and prevalence. 1t is probable, however
that the great duration Of existence might wei
render men cautious how they bound themselves
for life to more than one partner whom incom
paubiliy OF temper might render dsIasteful aite
a few centuries.
For several generations after the Deluge popu
lation was not sufficiently dense to render polyg
amy frequent. Accordingly the first who reviye
the time'honored custom appears to have bee
Esau, as might have been expected from bis wig
