ing q large quantity Of powder, situated

Samuel H- Hoshour, Esq., Of Cam

In 1860, when JeF. Davis was threat
ening destruction to the North as the
result OF secession, he ons day, in an
animated conversation with Gen. Simon
Cameron, exclaimed q When the South
secedss, such paralysis win fall Hpon
Northern enterprise that the grass will
grow in the streets Of your Northern
citiesr The retort was instant; shs
General replied: "Mr. Davis, If the
Southern States secede, utter ruin will
fall upon your section. Your slaves
will be liberated, and will Assist in your
destruction. The North viii NOS be
ruined, but wiil, with my own hands,
plant corn in the streets Of Charleston,
the cradle Of treason" True TO his
promise, in the spring Of this year, when
Gen. Cameron visited the South, he did
plant the corn, hired soldier to altend
to it, and has Just rsceived the crop,

New YoRK, Jan. 2e.-The Wilmington
North Oarolinisn says Of operations in its
vicinity:
"The fierce part of the combat is yet to
come. The Yankees, elated with success,
will attempt to beat back our troops. With
reinforcement continually arriving and the
position our lines has assumed, we trust
his next effort will be futile one. Both
armies are fortifying in their respective
positions, and hot work may be looked for
at any time"
The Raleigh Progress of the goth says :
"Persons who left Wilmington on the
18th say the rebel forces fell back to with.
in eight miles Of the city, and Gen. Terry
had demanded the surrender of the place,
giving Bragg to the 18th to answer. The
removal of all public property was going
on as fast as possible, and we doubt not
every preparation was making to fall back.
Persons from there say all is confusion at
Wilmington. The general impression was
that the place would go and that most OF
the people would remain. - - 'H''

The Times City Point correspondent
teIegraphs that the idea at headquarters
concerning the rebel iron clad demonstra-
ton in the James river, was to create an
excitement to cover the evacuation OF
Richmond. Credence accumulates daily
that the rebel leaders would like to get out
of that city.
The Heraid's City Point despatch says
there were four rebel iron clads. One was
entirely destroy ed, and another disabled.
The other two were aground, and we're be-
ing fred into direct by our batteries; each
shot from Fort Parsons striking them
