listened to the battle with new hope.


About o'clock the Commanding

Commenting on this battle, General
Barnard says, page 48:


"The army was saved in spite of all
Gen. McClellan's ignorance of the posi-
ton of affairs and results of the days
fighting and consequent incapacity to
give intelligent orders"


Speaking of the battle of Malvern
Hill, the next day, Gen. Barnard asks
and answers:


Where this day is the Commanding
General? OFF with Caqt. Rogers to
select the final position Of the army and
its depots. He does not tell US that it
was on a gunboat, and. that this day
not even signals would keep him in
communication with his army, for his
Journey was ten or fifteen miles down
the river, and he was thus absent till
late In the afternoon. This is the first
time. we ever had reason to believe that
the highest and first duty ola General
on the day of battle, was separating
himself from his army to reconnoitre a
place of retreat"


Any candid man who shall read Gen.
eral McClellan's report carefully, will
be thoroughly convinced that the brill
liant battles of the Peninsula were sole
ly the work of the corps commanders,
and but for the interference Of McClel-
Ian as Commander-in-chief, Richmond
would have been taken and the rebel
army destroyed. .raiila3 ~

This would bring our encampment TO with

The tomato is one of the most health
full, as we'll as one of the most universally
liked, of all the vegetables. Its healthful
qualities do not depend on the mode of
preparation for the table; it may be eaten
thrice day, cold or hot, cooked or raw,
alone or without salt or pepper or vinegar,
or altogether, to like advantage, and in
the utmost that can be taken with an ap-
petite. Its healthfd quality arises from
its slight scidity, in this making it is as
valuable, perhaps, as berries, cherries, cur
rants, and similar articles. 1t is also high
ly nutritious. The tomato season ends
with the frost. If the vines are pulled up
before the frost comes, and hung up in a
we'll vent lated cellar with the tomatoes
hanging to them, the Glove apple" will
continue ripening until Christmas. The
cellar should not be too dry nor too warm.
The knowledge of this may be improved
to great practical advantage for the ben
eft Of many who are invalids, and who are
fond of the tomato. -

The sounds from the enemys camps below Rich
mond throughout Sunday night indicated that their
troops were in motion but nothing positive is
known of their movements except that it was dis.
covered yesterday morning that the white troops
had been withdrawn from our front near Fort Har-
rison and their place supplied with negroes. The
Yankee papers announced some days ago that all
the negroes in Grants army to be put into the
Eighteenth corps under Weitze, and we presume
this arrangement was being carried into effect when
the marching and countermarching of Sunday night
was heard all the negroes were being brought over
to this side from Bermuda Hundred and Petersburg,

sent south Of the river to ill their places Negroes,

sHERAANs MOVEMENTS.


Official intelligence has been received that Sher-
man at last moving towards the Atlantic coast in
earnest His objective point is believed to have
been at length discovered but it is deemed injudi-

four days which will decide the question whether
Sherman is to reach the coast in safety.-Rehnsond

Extreme, ultra men, like extreme women, are a.
wars unsafe. You cannot trust them out of sight,
for fesr they will break something If between the
upper and the neither milestone, the Confederate on
the one hand and the Standard and the Progress on
the other the present Legislature Of North Carolina
should perform any COOL wise or proper legislation,
it will be wonder.-Conseroatiue


We should like to know what the women have
got to do with this business.


So far IS the Standard is concerned, it is simply
firm, consistent Straightforward Conservative pa.
per. Ifit is "extreme" in any thing it is in its
devotion to the cause Of civil liberty five should
"break" any thing by such course, we cannot
help it. Indeed, whatever stands in the way OF
Conservative principles ought to break, and the
sooner the better.


But is it not an "extreme AN "Hultra" idea,
that the course Of some three newspapers should
have the effect to prevent "cool wise, ani proper
legislation" by the General Assembly? Are the
members of that body SO excitable, so weak that
they cannot do their duty as legislators, because
the Standard and Pr0yress advise one thing, and
the Coafederate another! Verify, it would seem
80. the Conservative being the judge. Then let
that body take the Conservative for its Mentor
Let it look to it as its beacon light in this storm. Let
it do so, and it will run first upon Scys and then up
on Chary will adopt one view to day, and an
other tomorrow. 1t Will be every thing BY turns
and nothing long" Such course by the Lekisls-
ture would no doubt be "extremely" agreeable to
our cotemporary. II that body will only do as 1t
says, it will not only not be ultra but it will be as

Depredations under the Color Of Inpressments.


We learn from the augusta Carosiczs and Seats-
ael that depredations under the color Of impress
ments are common in csrsain portions Of Georgia
That paper says: -.


"A few days since We called the attention Of the
authorities to the fact that the residents of the coun
ties above us were being plundered BY parties in
Confederate uniforms, and Who claim that they are
acting for the Confederate government. Under the
existing state Of things no man is secure Every
one at any moment is liable to be robbed and it any
resistance IS made, is liable to be deprived Of his
life. II the Georgia Legislature had done its duty,
and adopted measures recommended by Gov. Brown
matters would quickly b settled by planters them
selves, as the number q property appropriators
would diminish rapidly.


tits quite certain that things are in . very bad
way, and respectfully call the attention of tho
Confederate authorities who have control of tais
section to the subject 1t is high time that some
thing was done. The people cannot long submit to
sucn injuries and insults II the evil is not correct
ed soon We fear the residents Of counties above
will take it upon themselves to settle their own
wrongs Then we shall begin to experience all the
horrors Of 4 border warfare"


The Macon Telegraph of the 26sh November con.
tains proclamation from Gov. Brown in relation
to these depredations, in which he says "it is a
matter Of extreme modification to know that large
part of our cavalry force which should hang around
and constantly annoy the enemy as he passes
through our State and cut off his foragng parties
and impede his march, have left their commands
and are now scattered in squads and in small bands
over nearly half the territory Of the State, robbing
and plundering the citizens unfortunately, and
taking from the wives and children of soldiers who
are in service discharging their whole Duty the sup
plies of provisions which are their only means Of
support These predatory bands Of thieves and
robbers, who devastate the country under pretext
Of making impressmeuts Of property for the use OF
the army, are disgrace to the commands to which
they profess to belong and am sure their conduct
meets the unqualified condemnation and scorn oil
every true soldier in the army.


He says, "all other means for the suppression d
this indiscriminate robbery having failed" the peo
pie sre compelled to protect themselves as far as
they can by force. He then says that all Who may
attempt to Impress without genuine authority. "are
robbers, and will be shot down BY any one able to
do it"

The Peace Demserats on War Democrats.


The effort 10 unite the distracted Demoo-
Fscy on some Presidential basis, grows
more and more ludicrous from day to day.
They have been felicitsting themselves
with the hope Of division among the Union
men on the question Of the next Presiden-
ey, but they will find themselves wOfully
mistaken. In the meantime their intes-
tine brOiIs do not furnish them much con-
ISOLATION in their distress.


The Cincinnati Enquirer persists in as
serting that the masses Of the Democracy
are for peace. The question as to the man
ner Of carrying on the war is with the
party whs made it. The Democracy are
for pesce at all hazards. It declares that
the war Democracy, which is not the same
species as that Of last fall, must go over to
the Administration side, if the Democracy
nominate peace man.


Here is what it kindly says:


at is the War Democrats who are now
in the dilemma. In point Of numbers they
are ia al exceedingly weak minority; 9
minority not merely of the whole people,
but Of the Democracy. In point of mate
rial, they constitute the poorest part; the
the csmp-followers-seekers Of Office them
selves, or seekers Of gain or influence
through the election Of those whom they
can control to official positions. The di-
lemma in which they are placed Is this;
they must either produce the nomination
Of one Of their own sort to the Presidency
or they must 60 over to the Abolition par
ty, with the disadvantage Of taking the
lowest seat. The latter horn, with gentle
men who are nothing if not leaders, is the
reverse agreeable to contemplate; and
hence their active exertiOns to themselves
upon the former.

From the Peoria Mail, May Al


We are told by a friend who lately made
a trip to st. Louis by rail, that on the Chica-
90 and st. Louis road, on his passage down,
an outrage took place almost too brutal TO
be believed. Some twenty-five or thirty
soldiers were seated in the car in which
were four or five citizens and a young wo-
man. Soon after the train left Blooming
ton the soldiers began to take improper
liberties with the girl, which she repelledas
much as possible. AT the first station below
Bloomington, the conductor succeeded In
getting her off the cars, but one the soldiers
went off with her, land, waiting until the train
started, lifted her on board again, and TAX
ing her on his lap, proceeded to expose her
person in the most indecent manner, and
conducting in such beastly manner as
wholly to preclude the possibility of recital
of the acts. In these actions he was Joined
by several other soldiers. The conductor
did not dare to demonstrate, and Major
and Captain, who were present and wit
messed the disgraceful proceeding, did not
seem to think it was their duty to interfere.
This conduct continued until the train ar
rived at Springfield, where the soldiersand
their victim left.
