The public mind of the entire South is fast re- j From the Local News, Alexandria, Va., Feb. 10th. covering Ironi the causeless panic occasioned by j x scene occurred in St. Paul's Church, Alex the unfortunate affairs at Roanoke Island and andria, Va., on Sunday morning, Feb. 9, 1862, Fort Donelson. Considerate men see that rtuch w;.., mtnA ,no f them, bv inunn- us to .Uftlt must often occur in a war with upow- er possessed of buperior numbers ources of all kinds, by curing us which our continued successes had begott most of all, by stimulating enlist It is now'almost certain, that by the Ut ot April we shall have a larger disposable force in the field than that of our enemies; lr tbey must return two tin th.-it Stat r.d tl.o Citvof Washington, a hundred thousand in Kentucky and guard ?hose States, some twenty thousan Tarious forts, and probably eighty thousand tinfu Thus, their stationary force being four hundred thousand, even if their armies number seven bun- dred thousand, they will have a disposable force of only three hundred thousand with which to in- vadeonr interior, and, iu h.n- incursions, this will w. be diminished at least one third by the lorn 3 de- tailed to keep up communication with their bases of operation. Besides, by deferring their invas- ion of the South until the warm season, they will soon decimate their ranks by the ma.arious dis- eases of our ehmate. Heretofore we have had-to fight against suptrior iiumbers, but so soon as they quit their vessels, march into the country, and meet us in the open field, we shall out number them, if we please, iu every conflict. They cannot probably hold Nashville longer thin the ruinv season keeiiS the Cumberland river , - flooded. We know not how large an army they uave mere, uui utrnoc ii. laimui ue tcijf larjjc. Miould we be mistaken, and they attempt to hold if irmoniiit lr mi (.milif in fi t'i.r tini.Lo In nmlro prisoners of their whole army. Their present oc- cunation cf that eitv. of rort Jlonel.son. and of! t - - - J - - L'larktville, so diidts their land and naval force as to disable them from attacking and taking Co lumbus, and proceeding down the Mississippi to .Memphis and the cotton region. If, with their whole land and naval force, and their eager appetite tor cotton, they durst not at- j tempt, to descend that liver, they will surely not now venture to do so with a crippled and divided navy and army. It may vet turn out that the l:iil f lort Donelson and of Nashville will h. a reat .... gain to us, and a great misfortune to them. J he .whole country, from the Ohio to Nashville, is iu - habited by brave men and zealous Secessionists. Thi-v cr.nnot make that city a base oi operations from which to invade the Cotton States, for in a few weeks, probably days, the I. limb rlund river ; will become innavi-able for thf mailost 'iuiboars, nJiKn,; u-.Mil.i ..

Ifth.-y attempt it even with a force of a hundred thousand men, w,- fhould at once surround them with a f..rc;.- of a ; hundred and fifty thousand, and capture their, whole arntv. This would end th war; and wc : should not be surprised ihut it ih.juM -nd sthf- I what in this way. The .North, under weight of ; del t and want ol cotton, in bceoining desperate, j and will rashly quit its wooden walls tic long and j march far into our interior. Then we vi!l make j priM-riers ol their ai mios, and gertouJv a:;j tit- uuiphantly wind up the war. Let faint-h-nited people recollect that we never yet met them with j equal 11 umbers in the cp.01 field without defeating j them, and that und. r the iey en waste vihich is , tow going on in the South, if tl.ey inva i-; u In t land altei the let if .iil, we will meet th 11. i rith tu pei ior numbers.

Brown, of Texas, in his army newspaper, the " War Bulletin," published in the !P ' cCulloch s division, gives the following K .,i,r, of Ki.Hrr:il mitr:ir in A isannn ' i-'-- " f Will the God of '76 of Washington, Sumter, Marion and Moultrie vouchsafe his blessing to the iiif.del ruflhins who are now ravagit; Missouri with lite and tword, stealing like .Murrclites, mnrdoring u. .armed men, brutally insulting help- less women, and performing deeds of blood and violence known only to savage life '( Pcisous I'tnther South can form no adequate idea of thousand upon thousand of outrages committed In Missouri. We could not believe it until we came up here and traveled in that State. We have had minute facts of hundreds of cases detailed io us by ladies of the highest respectability many of ; r i i - i . .i- , t inein exiles irom nome witn tneir tamilies. and are now in this town and vicinity. j One of thetu, with whom we now board, was j publicly cursed by a procession of over two hun dred Southern born lories in the streets of Spring field, last .spring, lor wearing a secession apron. One was cured und otherwise insulted for-becking from a tory captain the recovery of a favorite animal stolen from her by h is tory company. Ilcr aged father (a native, too, of Ohio, but a patriot) was seized and carried with jeers and scoffs by her door without permission to see her, though she was very sick and they resided in different counties. His life was only spare d by her almost supernatural warnings of vengeance to the base and cowardly wretch, Capt. Wright. Ati Illinois Colonel shook his fist in the face of a refined young lady in Springfield, saying- '.'God d n ou! we have stolen your niggers, and you can't help yourselves!" To tell the ladies they were ' d d secesh b-t-h-s," was common among the Dutch troops. Let southerners remember these .things, and fight for their honor. Chatham Hailuoad This city by a vote of 170 lor. to 70 against subscription, agreed, on Tuesday, to subscribe for $50,000 worth of the Chatham Coalfields Railroad Stock. This Road when made will be of inestimable v.nlue to this city, and to the State. It will be continued from the Coalfields to Chtraw, and thus will be obviated the injury which may accrue from the construction of the Road from Lanviile to Greensboro. Kul ci'jli llnj ister.

Our policy i fixed by the j Constitution; and nature has given us advantages in the production of cotton, to be found nowhere else. If England could obtain a sufficiency else where and would confine herself to that, it would be a fatal blow to the supremacy which her manu factures now enjoy. " hat-cotton would be of inferior quality to ours, and of course the fabric made of it could not compete with that made o! the Southern staple. The continental States would use this latter article, and speedily drive Knglish fabrics from all the markets of th world. Uut the crochet is in the Knglish mind. They tbey can do without us.

In the meantime, it cannot be loo often and too earnestly repealed, that our military authorities should instantly take steps to prevent the possi bility of cotton falling into the hands of the enemy. This is the great object in invading the Mississippi valley; its success is vital to our foes. At all costs, it should be defeated. Noiti'OLK, March G. A gentleman who lately made his escape from Washington has arrived in Portsmouth. He says the secession feeling is gaining ground in that city, and hundreds only await a chance to prove their devotion to our cause. C'tizcns "ot in the Federal army, are de prived ofuli arms, and great vigilance exercised to detect any who bear the least suspicion of dis loyaby. 'J hey dare not utter one word against the dignity (?) of the Federal Government, else they may suddenly be slapped iu prison to remain for many weeks as an expiation of the offence. This gentleman was employed in the Washington Navy Yard as the big-anchor maker, and ao valua ble were his services that the authorities offered him 5 or 6 per day, if he would work in New York. He positively refused, and was Watched with suspicion. In an unguarded moment, he took leave of his wife, and made his escape at night across the Potomac in a small boat. 1)1!. .!. M.
