TIE CAUSE OF Our DISASTERS. correspond
ent Of of our exchanges accounts for our disas
tiers in the Valley of Virginia, as follows: DO you
ask for an explanation Of these rapidly occurring
disasters in a portion of the State where the Con.
federa rates, until the l9.h, suffered defeat
1t is simple and easily given: We have two enc
mics to contend within the Valley, one Of whom
has never been beaten since Noah drank too much
wine and lay In his tent These enemies are the
Federal army and John Barley Corn. Sheridan
has been largely reinforced and the Valley is run
ming with apple brandy. Here is the key to our
reversss Officers of high position-yes, of very
high position-have, to use an honest English word,
been drunk-too drunk to command themselves,
much less an army, division. brigade, orareg-
imen. And where officers in high command are
in the habit Of drinking to excess we may be sure
their pernicious example will be followed by those
of lower grades.-Bi6. Recorder.

PERSECUTION OF WOMEN REBUKED.-Froma speech
by Gov: Seymour in Philadelphia, some days ago,
we extract the following:
"What ask, in Gods name, in this land of ours,
are so lost to all sense of manhood, that they
would tear the gentle sister and the loving wife from
their homes, because they cherish love for those
who may be fghtisg under the flag of the South
Now, care not how severely war may be waged
against men but do protest in the name of all
civilization; do protest by the love we bear to our
families; do protest in. the name of the most sa-
cred relationship which existed in our homes, that
to punish woman for an exhibition of true woman
hood for clinging with love and tenderness even to
the errng, is piece Of mean tyranny, unparalleled
in history"
Truer words were never spoken, and the Infamous
tyrants of the North who have imprisoned and per-
secuted women for sympathizlng with their hus-
bands, brothers other kindred IN the Confederate
army, deserve to be lashed through the world. And
how much better are those by whose authority wo.
men :nd children have been arrested and penned
like CATTLE without the shadow of authority of law
here in North OarolinaP When the history sfthese
times are written up we hope that JUSTICE will be
done to petty tyrants well to martyrs and he
roes.-Progress.

PLYMOUTH IN THE HANDS OF THE ESEMY.-We
have the unwelcome intelligence that Plymouth is
again in the hands of the enemy. 1t seems that q
small boat containing some sixteen men, approach
ed Plymouth recently in the night captured the
picket boat just below the place, and then placed
torpedo under the iron clad Albemare, and destroy
ed her. Thirteen of the crew of the small BOAT
we're captured and the rest were drowned A hard
fight ensued soon after between the enemys gun
boats and our forces under Gen. Baker, which re.
suited in an evacuation of the town by troops.
We have no particulars Of the fight and no account
of the casualties.
Plymouth is in the County of Washington, near
the head of tSe Albemarle Sound, and commands
the Roanoke and Cashie rivers which water the up
per part of the Albemarle region. Its capture may
result in serious loss to that region 1t is reported
that the destruction Of the iron clad, which is said
to have been equal to five thousand men, was the
result of gross neglect on the part of those who
were in command.

SR:-Permit me to make a statement in regard
to the " manufacture of artificial limbs for our
mutilated soldiers to which you refer in your paper
of the 2Sth instant Coy. Vance has given me but
one order on the subject and that was to take i'm
mediate steps towards procuring proper supply of
these useful articles for those whose necessities re-
quired them. A.
1 determined to establish mandatory for the
special benefit of soldiers and advertised
in the papers of the State. Upon enquiry it was
Sscertaned that greater part of the materials ne
cessary for the Construction of artificial limbs,
could not be procured in the Confederacy. They
were then immedately ordered in Europe, and our
agent there instructed TO ship them in the Ad Vance
on her return trip, in July last Unfortunately,
these materials themselves had to be made to order
and so much time was necessarily consumed in pre-
pairing them that the ship was compelled to sail
without them. The subsequent capture of the Ad
Vance and the consequent interruption of the block
ade running on account OF the State, has rendered
their importation impossible up to the present mo-
ment Every effort is, however, being made to Sc
cure their transportation to this country upon some
other ship, and am in daily expectation of their
arrival at Wilmington.
Anticipating some delay in the importation of
these materials concluded an arrangement with q
"manufactory" in Virginia. by which North Caro-
lima soldiers were to be supplied with "artfcial
limbs" at the expense Of my Department until our
State works were established.
Fam happy to state that large number Of our
mutiiated soldiers have been thus supplied. and
that the orders of others being as rapidly filled
as the circumstances Of the case will allow.
So soon as the proper materials received, l
shall commence the manufacture of "arti6cial
limbs for the special benefit of North. Carolina
soldiers Until then, the present arrangement is
the most patriotic and philanthropic" that be
devised. EDWARD WARREN,

INTEMPERANcE-TRADE IN LIoUoRs.-The follow
ing statement full of very striking facts SUBJ
mitted to a committee of the Canadian Parliament
by Rowland Burr. ESQ.,, of Toronto:
my experience as justice of the Peace auG
Jail Commissioner for nearly twenty years, shows
that nine out of ten of the male prisoners, and
nineteen out of twenty of the female prisoners have
been brought there by intoxicating liquor. have
visited the jais from Quebec to Sandwich, through
the length and breadth Of Canada, and have per-
sonally examined 1000 prisoners in the jails, of
whom two thirds were males, and one. third females
they nearly all signed petition that had present.
ed to them for a Maine Liquor Law, many of them
stating that it was their only hope of being saved
from utter ruin unless they could 60 where intoxi-
eating liquors were not sold.
| examined the jaiOrs' books, wherein they all
kept a record of the number of persons, their age
country, and occupations, and their crime also
whether they were brought there by the use of in.
toxcating liquors In four years there were % 900
prisoners in the ails and it SsPeared from the re-
cords that % 900 of that number had been brought
there by intoxicating liquors, and believe, from
the 1000 whom l examined that o, 900 out of the
$4,000 would never have been there had it not been
for the liquor trade. | have the record now before
me, kept by myself, of the liquor dealers of Young
street, Toronto, for o. years past, 100 in number,
and will mention the abstract of the record viz:
Number of ruined drunkards in 100 families 2I4;
loss of property once owned in real estate EOS 800
number of widows left, 45 number Of orphans left,
2S5 sudden deaths, A suicides publicly known,

As was to be expected, the Northern papers are
in ecsaces over the proposition to arm and free the
negroes OF the South The New York Herald in an
article headed " The Rebel Confederacy Topping
The Corner Stone Giving Way" says: "In the
arming Of the slave population, on the basis of
emancipation, We zee the enemy driven to the pi
rates last resort of blowing up his own shin to
escape capture. The Herald regards it as hast
effort to save the Confederacy by tearing away the
foundation upon which it stands,"

The Charleston Courier truthfully remarks that
"the Confederate uniform in all high places must
be ceansed from all tants or suspicion of Venality,
or of drunkenness, or sensuality, or licentious in

when the government is distillng whiskey on a
large scale, and its officers are impressing nearly
all the brandy in the country?
