A friend has favored US with a copy
of the Rome Ga, Courier-Or rather
the first and fourth pages of that paper
1t purports to be printed on the 10th of
May; but as our troops arrived there on
the 18th of that month it was, of course,
printed before. Printers will under
stand that the first side was printed off,
and that editor, printers and devil were
forced to 'skedaddle" before the other
side was ready for the press.-Chatta-
HoQgt Gazette.
We make the following extracts from
this piece of paper:
A few of the citizens of Huntsville
have taken the Federal oath volunta-
rily, others have taken it to avoid being
sent to northern prisons or confined in
the filthy guard house at their negro
abolition camp. Those who have been
forced to take the oath were tortured
into it through the influence of Jere
Clemens, who, having fully espoused
the cause of Lincoln, endeayOred to
criminate Obhers around him TO share
his own despicable cause. He has now
gone North for the purpose Of obtaining
the commission of Military Governor Of
the State Of Alabama The great Union
meeting he presided over was a miser-
able farce, acted out by Yankee sol
diers, aided by the few degraded char
acters who have infested North Ala
bama since the war commenced. AS
for the people of Limestone county,
none have taken the oath voluntarily
or otherwise, but, though the fiery
flame Of destruction has laid waste the
beautiful towns, ruined her tairest
homes, she still stands, as the storm
riven oak, true 70 every impulse Of her
beloved South.
The o'clock train on Wednesday
evening, brought two or three car loads
of Yankee prisoners, among 'them Col.
Lagrange and several commissioned
officers, captured by Gen. Wheeler, near
EarneIs Station. A negro cake and
pie woman exhibited her appreciation
of the miscegenators efforts in behalf
of her race, by distributing her cakes
and pies among them gratis, for which
exhibition Of her sympathy, as we are
informed, she was arrested and chas-
tised.-ReJeL
A citizen of misplace, Mr. Henry G,
Cole, was arrested on Wednesday, by
detectives from Atlanta, with orders
from General Wright, charged with
reasonable correspondence with the
enemy. He was taken to Atlanta, and
we learn has since been sent to Rich
mond We have not been able to as
certain the particulars of the circum-
stance which led to his arrest. Mr..
Cole is an old resident Of this place,
possesses an ample fortune, is somewhat
noted for his liberality to the poor, but
has always been violently opposed to
the war, cursing both sides, and making
no concealment Of his views He was
arrested once before, but his examina-
ton elected no facts OF criminal
character.-RebE

Extensive fires have been raging in
the woods north of Us for some time
past. The Wausau Wisconsin esti-
mates the damage done at thousands OF
dollars in the destruction Of dwellings,
barns and timber lands. The fires have
kept coming down towards US gradual
~, and on Monday, with the influence
Of hard gale OF wind blowing from
the northwest, swept on with irresisti-
bic force. We are sorry 70 record the
burning Of Peter LaMeres saw mill,
house aud barn on the Little Eau Claire
river, Notwithstanding the almost SUI
perhuman efforts employed 70 check
the flames. The house OF Aaron Drake
was consumed A great Deal of fence
and wood cut and corded was also
burned. On the west side Of. the river,
opposite this city there was quite an
extensive fire raging on Monday, but
at this writing il has burnt itself out
without doing much damage.-SteV9s

THE PROSPECTS OF WAR n EUROPE
While the events now Transporting in
America are creating as much, if not
greater interest than at any period du-
ring this interminable civil war, politics
in England are rapidly becoming
grounds for anxiety 1t cannot have
escaped the notice of any one who has
given the subject a thought, that the
attitude of her majesty's government
upon the Dano-Germanic question does
in no sense represent the feeling and
policy of the English people the min
istry are in fact in a small minority on
the question, and keep themselves in
power simply because the opposition
are unwilling to give Lord PalmerstOn
the opportunity of appealing to the
country on his own made issue. 10 Is
patent to the members Of the ruling
class Of this kingdom-few in numbers;
but well-nigh all-pOwerful-that Pal
merston would long ere this have fol
lowed up his menaces against Germany
by positive acts of war had it not been
for the check put upon him by his royal
mistress What with the memory Of
her late husband, and still more with
the-powerful influence welded over her
mind by the Duke of Saxe-COburg-
Gotha and King Leopold, Queen Veto
ria seems resolved that no consent shall
ever be wrung from her that may hin
der or check Prussia and Austria in
their Acknowledgement of Denmark
Such is positively known to be the case,
and besides, that the whole body Of the
English people, excepting the peace
men and Earl Russell, are earnestly
DESTROYS to put a stop to the operations
of the Germans.
FAILURE OF THE COSFERENCF.
Earl RusselIs conference in London
Is a lamentable failure, causing no in

selves, and is the father Of the Princess
Of Wales, their futuSe queen, 70 be

The same is true In more marked de.
gree, among the leaders of the Union party.
i say what every well-informed man in
Washington knows, when state, that there
are not five members of the Senate who
were not at heart opposed to Mr.. Lincoln's
denomination for what they thought grave
and weighty reasons. More than two
thirds of the Union members of the House
held the same views. The pressure of pub
lie danger from the Chicago treason, made
them feel that duty compelled suspen-
sion of hostilities, and united effort to
elect Mr.. Lincoln, not the best thing to be
done, but as the only practicable thing.
Who supposes that,--no the pressure
being removed, these men will continue to
support Mr.. Lincoln, when his measures do
not command their approval? Who sup
poses that the Senate will again acquiesce
In an outrage like the illegal and unconsti-
tutional assignment of Mr.. Frank Blair to
a Generals command without Generals
commission? Who supposes that the House
will again tamely submit to such an out
rage as Mr. Bairs assumption of member
ship, If he really held a commission in the
armyp
Thirty days from the opening Of the next
session of Congress will in all probability
bring one of-two things. Either Mr.. Lin
coin will find a combination of leading men
to whose demands he will give just atten-
tion, or he will find himself without
party. rsstr.

Yyhnt the Countrx Needr.

The country needs honest men-men of
stern, unbending integrity. 1t needs such
men to save it from utter ruin by sinking
deeper and deeper into the mire of univer-
sal corruption, fraud and treachery.
The country needs men OF industry and
diligence in every honest and useful calling.
This is one of her greatest needs at the
present critical period of her existence.
She wants men to work faithfully, diligent-
ly and perseveringly at what is honest
useful and proftable-not simply to the
individual worker, but to the whole COM
munity. She wants not spectators, but
laborers not consumers merely, but pro-
ducers.
The country needs patriotic men-men Of
sound political views, who understand
thoroughly the principles upon which our
complex system of a National and of State
Governments was originally founded, and
who are devotedly attached to, and ready to
sacrifice their private interests in the main
tenance of these principles. If the country
Is ever saved from the abyss of final de-
struction toward which it is now rapidly
tending, it must be by such men. There
must'be enough of such men to stand as
bulwark between the country and the abyss
Of ruin, or all will be lost. If thereare any
such left in these days of political ignorance
and fanaticism-and we trust there are thou
sands and tens of thousands-they should
rouse themselves at once to a sense of their
duties and responsibilities. BY precept and
example they should instruct and guide
their feliow-citizens In the good old paths
marked out and trodden by the trainers Of
our National Constitution and the founders
Of our General, and of our State Govern
ments. They should form nucleus-a
solid phalanx of stern, unyielding patriots
not radical or revolutionary, but in
fiexibly conservative OF constitutional
rights and liberties-around which the
people may rally and restore our wasted,
bleeding country, as fast as may be done,
to itsformer greatness and prosperity under
that system of government our fathers in
augurated.
Honest, Industrious and patriotic men
the country now needs to save it. On the
salvation of the country hangs our own
and that Of those who may come after us.
Hence, unless such men as have been de-
scribed,, shall come to the rescue, we and |
our posterity must sink into political per-
dition.
