The Croakers at Richmond Growing

from the Richmond Sentinel, Jan. %.
Frogs are noisiest in cloudy weather. In
this, as in their dismal notes, they are
types of those other animals without feath
ers known among men as croakers. In the
joyous hours of sunshine, when the trees
are vocal with the song of birds and all
nature is gay and happy, frogs are silent.
They have nothing to add to the tribute of
gladness and rejoicing which earth pays to
Heaven, but pass the bright days in selfish
slumbrousness. But let the clouds gather,
or let the night come; let the thunders
mutter, and let the storm overspread US
with its sable wing, aud Immediately the
silent pool quakes with a Thousand com
plants and evil prophecies. In all this the
croaker of our day inds his model and ex-
ample. He passes the seasons Of prosper
ity in lodging the conscript officers and
making money. He is never obtrusive
where fighting is to be done; but with the
frat shadow upon our prospects he takes
the alarm, and makes men wonder how SO
small creature can make so great noise
The croakers hare been Troublesome of late.
They haze become a nuisance. They vex
the patience and they tire the ear, A few
boys can quiet frog pond; cannot public
opinion IN like manner stone the croakers
into silence? Suppose we try it. Suppose
tue virtue, the Wit and the beauty OF our
land resolve to show them no federation
and no quarter. We have before US a let.

pardon OF this lady and of her sex We
were betrayed into our remark by the re-
proach which Homer makes one of the
Grecian heroes visit upon his comrades
when disaster before the walls of Troy had
depressed their spirits and turned their
thoughts on retreat;-"Oh, ,Greciau wo.

proud to record that Confederate women
scoru croakers and tremblers, and disdain
to be put on the same level of courage
Then let them lash the dastsrds in spirit
and faint in soul. Let our men rebuke
them and our boys deride them. Let us
give no audience and show no respect save
for those who speak the words of courage

Napoleon's Colonization Scheme.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 27.-The Califor-
MIA journals are discussing the subject of
Napoleon's colonization scheme in North
ern Mexico, and generally take the view
that it will relieve the State of the South
ern malconteuts and rebel sympathisers-
Many are already preparing to leave under
the invitation of Dr.. Gwynn, and that
eventually American settlers will revolu-
tionize the country if the Monroe doctrine
is not sooner operated on by the United

burg and Fishers Hill.
SURPRISE OF REBEL CAMP-oAPTuRE
OF PRISONERS.
When the party reached the vicinity of
Woodstock they surprised a small rebel
camp, capturing many officers aud SOL
diers of Rosser's command.
SHARP FIeHT-THR PRISONER REoAPTURRD.
They started on their return with their
prisoners and booty, when they were sud-
denly attacked By a superior body OF rebel
cavalry, who led an impetuous charge on
our men, killing and capturing number
of them and releasing the rebel prisoners.
Captain Young fought his men with deter
