A Permanent National Debt. q

The best thing thar. Congress cam
do for this country, is really to make
our National Debt n permanent one.
This would change the politics of tile
country by Introducing into itsn elp
mept of Public ECONOMY that We
have heretofore been strangers to. -lH
Partizanship would moderate -,+ihe
National Administration woul1, be 4,
more closely watched Responsible,
ty, integrity, care and talents would
be demanded OF candidates for pub
lie office. 1t would give life to the I
nation, moderate parties, and check
all wild movements, 7as well as re-
strain disorderly. tendencies. Our
war debt thus regulated, would serve
as the political tie of the States, and
a bond Of nationality that all would
cling to and stand by. This bond of
interest would be made a. bond Of
concord. r. AaoF qiHhu Whyq9h7o "a

Latest News.

By the mails which arrived here on Sunday over
the n c Road, We received a large number Of
papers, among them about dozen copies of our
Raleigh exchanges, most of which ought to have
reached here week ago. We fud no important
news relating to army movements in these papers,
but much other interesting matter which we would
have copied had it been received in time.
At last accounts, Sherman's army was in the
vicinity of Cheraw, s. G., skirmishing with the
Confederate troops in that neig hborhood Cheraw
is 55 miles from Fayetteville, and it looks as if
the yankee army was making for the latteRplace.
We think, from what we hear aud see, that our
troops will be concentrated in time to meet Sher-
man If he attempts to march through the country
from Cheraw to Raleigh.
Gen. Singleton, ~of Illinois, returned to Rich
mond on the LIST inst. 1t will be remembered that
he visited Richmond at the time Mr. Blair was
there some weeks ago. 1t is supposed that peace
is the object of his mission.

FROM RICHMOND AND PETERSBURG.

-. Grant has again been massing his troops on
Hatchers Run extreme right, ten miles south
west Of Petersburg, and it is thought that another
attempt by his columns to gain the Southside rail-
road was prevented by the rain of Saturday. We
think there can be little doubt that he will make
this attempt the state of the roads will
permit. In their present miry condition, the move
ment of artillery is out of the question. Grant has
enough of the gambler in his character for the dis
astrous failure of his last advance towards the rail
road to make him but the more impatient to renew
the attempt-Richmond Dispatch.

Interesting to your many readers, Mr. Editor, here
with enclose you the account.
On Tuesday morning. Feb. 81, 1865 were
aroused from breakfast table by the cry of 1.-The
yankees coming!' Everything and everybody
then in utter confusion-each trembling for
the safety of himself and family. We could see
them riding through the street, and even at
that early hour of the morning, congratulatng our
self that all would be well, when heard the foot
steps OF half dozen men plunging through our
house. Without knocking, showing the least
civity. the vandals went all through our premises,
las they did with every in the District) ram
sackng everything, and looking into every nook and
corner OF the house. breaking open trunks, looking
into the private drawers, and overhauling and
ing up the private papers Of every one.
The enemy commenced burning, in our town, on
Tuesday dinner time, and continually. from that
time until Wednesday afternoon, (the time they left
our Borough,) we could see the smoke of burning
houses ard the springing up of new fires. In all.
there have been from 10 to 90 houses. stores and
private dwellings, burned. The enemy paid no re-
spect to private property, but burned the houses
when they were occupied by helpless women and
children. They took off everything in the District
stealing from the citizens necessares of life and
reducing every one almost 10 a starving condition
The people in Fairfield District Deepen
dent upon the charities of the citizens of their sister
State, where the vile tread of hated foe has not

Leaving Winnsboro the enemy marched along
the line of the G. & S. C.. Railroad The road is
utterly demolished from the Borough to Blackstocks,
from whence the enemy went in the direction of
Camden, S. G. Their line can be easily dstin-
guished by the smoking ruins left in their track.
All along the road you nothing but desoaton

A WARNING TO HoARDERs.-In connections
with the enemy's advance into our State, we learn
that immense quantities OF corn fell into bis hands,
which had been boarded and denied to the needy,
and at last it feel into the hands Of the Yankees.
And soldier informs US, that his regiment was
for some time near plantation whose owner re-
fused even to sell any of bis bacon to troops,
although he had large quantity on hand, aud not
until the enemy advanced aud our men became
engaged, did he offer to sell. 1t then too late,
and no doubt the enemies of his country fell heirs
to his bacon. An this is humiliating and should
not be repeated. Those who have surplus pro-
visions should share them with their less fortunate
neighbors, for who knows how soon the whole of
it may be swept away by the ruthless foe -
