THE NEWS.
A oALLANT ACHIEVEMENT.

We have heard Of an incident, says the Fayctte
Vile Observer OF the 9Th which illustrates the gal
l,ntry and devotion of one Of our North Carolina
officers in Lees army-a type Of the whole 1t
hapuencd sometime ago-we need not say When
that il was desirable to get information as TO some
movement or supposed movement OF the enemy
Accordingly, about 10 o'clock of one dark cold,
rainy night, courier brought to brigade head
quarters an order to capture one or two Yankees
from their picket line, with view to pumping the
desired information out of them. Major ooten,
commander of THE sharpshooters of the brigade
(rom Columbus county, N. CO. was sent for, ar
rived about midnight, and entrusted with the order
lie remarked that he did not see how he waoto go
about it, as the moon would be up by the time he
could return to the skrn6sh line. After some
thought, the perplexed look disappeared from the
Majors countenance, and he qaiety remarked,
Every well, I'll catch you one or two-I remember
rasine ON the line that's too deep for the moon" So
| he splashed his way back to his sharpshootys,
charged the Yankees, and brought in, before day,
dozen fat ones, without losing man.

JUDGE Lyons Couhr.-ln this court yesterday,
Joseph Longilotti, who had been committed to Cas-.
tie Thunder by the Confederate POLICE on the charge
of disloyalty, was brought in on writ of kaJ.qs
corpus. 1t appearing BY the Confederate Govern
ment's return % the writ that LOngilotti wasenly
charged with declaring that he would not take Con-
federate money for goods in his store the Judge orr
dered his discharge. Judge Baxter acting for the
Government, had the man re-arrested aud CARRIED
before the Mayor We may here remark, that the
Mayor, without going into examination, reccg.
nized the man to appear before him this morning at
the. same time stating to Captain Slaccubbn no

tired) that if there no other charge against
Longilotti except refusing to take Confederate mo-
ney, he would inform him beforehand that Longiotti
would be discharged. Mr.. Nance, counsel for
Longiloti said this the only charge against his
client, and il false one. %

time of profound peace when tho most cordiat DrO;
therhood of sentiment existed and when long ana
bloody war had been brought to a triumphant CLOSE,
il required two years to assemble convention anu
bring its deliberations To an end and ahOther year
20 procure the ratification of their laborS. win
such a war as the present in progress, the views OF
the large aSSembage of nogotiators proposed would
undergo constant change according to the vicisSi-
tudes of the struggle and the attempt To secure con-
cordant views would soOn be abandoned, and leave
the partes more Smbittercd than ever less hopeful
OF the possibility of successful negotiation.
Again, how is the difficulty resulting irom the
conflicting pretensons of the two belgerents IN re-
gard TO several of the States TO be overcome is u
supposed that Virginia would enter into convention
with n delegation from what our enemies choose 10
term the "Stateh of s'WeSt Virginia., and thus re-
cognize an insolent and violent ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
her tcrritoryg Or would the United States conseIh
that ''West Virginia" should he deprived oil her

admitted her asa State and allowed her TO vote at

from Louisiana Tennessees Kentucky, Missouri =
The enemy claim to hold TIE governments OF those

of the convention. II delegates are received from

Presence of God,

The hahitual conviction of the presence Of
God is the sovereign remedy in temptation;
it supports, it consoles, it calms rs. We
must not be surprised that we are tempted.
We are placed here to be proved BY temp
tations. Everything is temptation to u.s.
Crosses irritate our pride, and prosperity
fatters; our life is continual warfare, but
Jesus Christ combats with US. We must
let temptations, like tempest, beat upon
our heads, and still move on; like traveller
surprised on the way by storm, who wraps
his cloak about him, and goes on his journey
in spite OF the expressing elements.
lH a certain sense, there is little to do in
doing the will of God Still it is true that
it is a great work, because it must be with
out any reserve. This spirit enters the Sc
cret foldings Of our hearts, and even the
most upright affections, and the most neces-
sary attachments, must be regulated by his
will; but it is not the multitude Of hard
duties, it is not constraint and contention,
that advances us in our Christian course
On the contrary, it is the yielding of our
wills, without restriction and without choice,
to tread cheertully every day in the path in
which Providence leads US, to seek nothing,
to be discouraged by nothing, to trust all
else without reserve to the will of Cod
Let us pray to our heavenly Father that
our wills may be swallowed up in his. x
