THE LATE RAID INTO MISSISSIPPI.

The Vicksburg HeralN (Yankee) has a
full account of General Grierson's recent
raid in Mississippi. The expedition left
Memphis on the 2lst ultimo, three thou
sand strong, consisting of the Second
New Jersey, Fourth Missouri, Seventh
Indiana cavalry, First Mississippi mount
ed rifles, Third and Fourth Iowa, Tenth
Missouri, Second Wisconsin, Fourth and
Eleventh Illinois and Third United States
colored. At Egypt, on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, a considerable force of the
enemy was encountered and sharp fight
ensued, in which quite number of the
enemy were killed and wounded and five
hundred prisoners taken. The rebel
Brigadier-G General Holcomb was among
the killed.
From Egypt the command struck west
ward, crossing the Mississippi Central
railroad below Grenada, destroying thir-
ty mills. Several locomotives and fifty
cars were destroyed. At Grenada they
destroyed extensive cloth and shoe fac
tories. At Bankston the expedition
brought in few horses and mules and
some contrabands. Among the prison
ers captured are one colonel, one lieuten-
ant-colonel and twenty-five line officers,
and number of our men, who, to escape
the treatment of our prisoners at Ander-
sonville, had joined the rebel army.

Il does not answer to assume that the
situation Of. the rebel chief. is already SO
desperate that he must he thinking Of
Submission. There are expcdients he has
not yettxfed.. His organs are now boldly
canvassing them. They are Q. . two
kinds-those calculated to strengthen
the rebellion At home, and those designed
to make stronger friends abroad.
It is proposed to increase the domestic
strength of the Confederacy by heavily
recruiting its armies from the slave popu-
lation. It is proposed to increase its
strength abroad by making an end Of
slavery. which has been in Europe the
most unpopular feature Of the Confede-
racy; by offering to enter into colonial
or other subordinate relations with Eng
land or France; or, in default Of this, by
changing the Confederate Government
into a monarchy, so that all the dynasties
of Europe will feel the strongest possible
inducement to side with it, in order to
get clear Of the popular institutions Of
this continent, which are gradually sap
ping their life.
/ Now. It is needless for us in the No tn
to discuss what chances these various
methods would give to the JET. Davis
Government. tits enough to know that
that Government finds hope in them, and
that it is even now making all haste to
put some of them to the test. So long
as such expedients are in reserve, how
ever extreme we may deem them, the
rebel Government will not look toward
submission. 1t will try every desperate
measure sooner than face that.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
We certainly would not advise any one
to place any sanguine hopes Of peace, OF
of negotiations for peace, upon the pre-
sent rumor or report. On any other con,
ditior than the Union, peace is out OF
the category Of things possible. The
likelihood is, that all these sweet whis--
perings of peace will now very soon be
hushed by the rude blasts of most terri
bic war.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York World telegraphs the follow
ing on the 18th instant:
The very air has been thick and heavy
with peace rumors today. A fresh i'm.
petus has been given them by the de.
velopment Of the fact that the Demo
cratic politician alluded to in the morning
papers as having also gone to Richmond

Coupled with this, it is said that, in Sc

Mr.. Pendlcton replied that he was not
surprised the gentleman was somewhat
touched BY what he had aid. It might
be the gentleman misunderstood the
exact force Of his language, but there
possibly might have been in the neigh
borhood Of the gentleman, and in his, own
State, and in ali the free States those
who would infract the Constitution. lie
(Mr. Pendleton) had said let gentlemen
beware how they push their doctrine,
lest it would be found that the compact
of confederation had first been broken
elsewhere than in the South. In conciu-
sion, he declared that he was not 1nt1u-
enced by any sectional or partisan feeling,
but solely by regard for the character
and perpetuity of our free institutions:
Mr.. Jenckes (Rhode 1sland expressed
his astonishment that Mr.. Pcndleton
called this a compact Of confederation,
and asked, if we are not one nation, what
are we? He called upon the gentleman
and ali of his school to frame an indict-
ment on the charge that had been made
that Northern men had infracted the Con-
stitution.

have marvelled at the obstacles overcome
by your valor. Your line of works has
excited the wonder of officers of other
nations who have come to learn defensive
warfare from the monuments of your
skilled labor. Your deeds have rendered
your name illustrious. In after times

couraging a monarchy, because republi-
canism is at the base Of our system, and
to overthrow it is not to amend, but to
subvert the Constitution. Ifthree-fourths
of the States pass such an amendment,
and they find that Rhode Island should
be the one dissenting State, she would
have the right, and it would be her duty,
to resist by force, and her cause would
become sacred in the eyes of just men
and 4sanctified by God. Such an amend
ment would not be binding on moral law,
and therefore is illegal and void, and it
could be enforced only by those who have
the power of the sword. In further argu-
ment he maintained that it was not in the
power Of three-fourths of the States to
determine the character Of the institutions
of the other fourth.
We cannot contravene the letter and
spirit of the Constitution. We cannot
subvert RepubGcanism, and destroy H.
berty, and decide the status OF the citi-
zens of the States. If this is imposed
by force it will become the right to re.
sist by force, and to array all the power
which may make resistance effective

The Hair.

The ordinary length OF the hair OF the

than that; but this is Of unusual occurrence
its weight from OF. 10 s OF. cOntem-
pOrary relates an instance where the hair
on a lady's head attained the measurement
OF two yards in length. But its proper
length for texture and strength should not
exceed twenty-iOur inches. and its value as
long hair. Is much deprecated in price
when II falls shorter. IL has been calcu-
lated by Wiehoi that the beard grows al
the rate OF line and a half per week. which
gives a length Of six inches and i half in
the course Of year, while for a man of
eighty years OF age twenty-seven feet
would have fallen before the razor We are
informed that the beard of BurgOmaster
Hans Steiningen was so long that npOn one
occasion, having forgotten 10 fold up the
same, he trOd upon II As he assembled 10
the council chamber al Brun. and was
thereby thrown down and killed. And still
further We may cite from Eble, that at the
Princes court at Eidam there is a full
length painting of a carpenter whose beard
was nine ieet long. 50 that when engaged
at work he was obliged TO carry il IN a bag.
In the industrial exhibition Of lS62 there
were exhibited specimens OF human hair
taken from the heads Of English. French
and Italian ladies'. the longest specimen
having been cut from the head OF one Of
our own country women. II was a lock Of
