PRINTER PRoxorED.--It is with much pleasure
We record the fact that j. NJ. Henson, formerly
printer in this City, and native Of Rutherford
County in this State, has been promoted to the of.
fee Of Captain of the coax City Guards" 14th
Regiment N. @. I. He volunteered at the com.
mencement of the war and went as private. Gel.
Daniel appointed him as flag bearer while stationed
at Suffolk, Va. On the reorganization of the COM
pany, after the passage Of the Conscrpt law, he
was elected I'd Lieutenant By the death of the
LIST Lieutenant Marcellus Thompson, he succeeded
to that Office; and by the death of Capt Pool, he
now succeeds to the post Of Captain. Lieut. Thomp-
son and Capt. Pool were both killed in battle.
Capt. Henson has been with Gen. Early in the
Valley, the past year, and has shared the dangers
hardshlps and glory Of that campaign. He was
once taken prisoner but effected his escape the same
day. He has been in nearlv one hundred fights
including skirmishes, and has SO far escaped with
only few bruises, though balls have frequently
passed through his clothing. For a pfinter'h he has
been a remarkably "lucky fellow" aud We trust
his good luck will continue, and that he will yet b.
spared for many years Of happiness and usefulness
He has proved himself brave soldier, and all who
know him know that his honor is unimpeachable,
and his piety sincere and that while he fearlessy
performs his every duty, he looks with untailing
confidence to the highest Power for guidance and
protection.-Progress. ---

PICTURE OF WAg.-The following lines are from
the opening of Mrs Barabuld's beautiful poem.
Eighteen Hundred and Eleven" How many sad
hearts in the present day, will find their own sor-
rows echoed in these pathetic words:
Still the loud death. drum laundering from afar,
Ger the Vext nations pours the storm of war;
Rounteous in vain, with frantic man at strife,
Glad Nature pours the means-the joys of life:
Man calls to Famine, nor invokes IN vain,
Disease aud Rapine follow in her train;
The tramp Of marching hosts disturb the plough,
The sword, not SICKLE reaps the harvest now,
And where the soldier CLEANS the scant supply,
The helpless peasant but retires to die:
No laws his hut from licensed outrage shield,
And wars least honor, is the ensanguined field.
Fruitful in vain, the matron courts with pride,
The blooming youths that grace her honored side !;
No son returns to press her widowed hand,
Her fallen blossoms strew distant strand.
Fruitful in vain she beasts her virgin race,
Whom cultured arts adoFn, and gentlest virtues
grace
Defrauded of its homage, Beauty mourns,
And the rose withers on its virgin thorns.
Frequent some stream obscure, some uncouth
name
BY deeds of blood is lifted into fame;
UT DER the daily page some soft one bends,
To learn the fate of husband, brothers, friends,
On the spread map with anxious eye explores,
Its dotted boundaries and pencilled shores;
Asks where the spot that wrecked her bliss is
found, .'. :. -
And learns its name but to detest the sound.

FOREIGN INTERVENTION.

The fourth year Of the present terrible
war is drawing near to its close, and yet
we see no signs of its discontinnance.-
We cannot end 1.-THE enemy aoiW not.
The element of peace-making is wanting.
That such would be the case must have
struck most rejecting persons at much
earlier period in the contest. 1t certainly
struck us so forcibly as to lead us to ex-
press the opinion that neither party could
or would recede from its position that
things had reached a dead lock, which
some outside force could alone relieve
The enemy may think they are approach
ing a solution by the subjugation of the
South. They are doing no such thing
Gloomy as things appear for us, the enemy
does not even begin to approach that So
luton.
Can we conquer a peace from the North
We do not think anybody believes any
such thing. 1t would be folly to entertain
such an idea. We, at least, do not enter
tain it. 1t is true the North may be taught
the futility of its efforts at subjugation, but
that is a lesson which it is slow to learn,
and the triumphant re. election of Mr.. Lin.
coin shows that as yet it has not made
much progress in that direction. The
policy of the United States is fixed for
years to come. The dead lock continues.
They aoon't stop the war. We can't.
Nothing that we know of but miracle
can stop this contest without foreign inter-
vention. We are sorry to say it, but we
think that it is even so. Take survey of
the field from first to last; view the i" stu
alton" now, and say if it is not Soft
calm reflection does not point that out as
the only way. Would that we knew how
to make use of that way.
Commercial treaties and other things of
that kind can be offered by the Confeder-
ate Government as inducements to foreign
powers. Liberal concessions might be made
of things involving neither our independ-
ence nor the structure of our society nor
the organic compact of our Confederacv /;
and these ought to be freely rendered, but
nothing relating to slavery or exceeding
the powers granted to the Confederacy, or
trenching upon these reserved to the
Weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1858-1865, 1865-01-11

1t is said that the present population of
Columbia is treble the number of its in
habitants before the war. A large proper
ton Of these are able bodied males, and
the wonder is how SO many of them keep
oui Of the army. The streets are far more
lively and bustling than before the war.
Trade is brisk, prices enormously high and
tending upward.-Lancaster s. @. Ledger.
And it is this class of men-these
bombproof, stay at home spectators, who
want the war to continue, that they may
pile up Confederate promises to pay. It
ii this class who assemble mass meetings
and condemn such patriots as Hon. MIR.
Boyee, and call upon them to resign their
seats in congress. It is these men who
denounee every one in favor of peace, and
DO all in their power to defeat any meas

honorably. If the government contract
