be quite -s danvterous to their master.s in this * nothing intervenes between the
condition of a subject population, and would need ) drunk with excess, and his
helpless victims. Nay, wo need not go so far as
thir cities named to find evidence of the ene-
my’s purposes. Look at Fredericksburg, Suffolk,
Williamaburg, Vorktown, the Northern Neck and
j that great desert of ruined farms, that wide ex
tent of cropless, treeless, lifeless b'nd which
extends from the Rapidan to the Potortiac.' But
yesterday the citizens of Norfolk, unwilling to
give up their homes to the Yankees, and afraid
to encumber the threatened Confederacy with
hundreds, perhaps thousands, ot women and
children and old picn, who could render no aid
in battle, aud only consume the faster our limited
subsistence, decided wisely to remain,
price of an oath of allegiance to a nation abhorred,
but which, in the eye of God, was uot, and ^ould
not,, be made binding by any cunning of the
Yankee. And now arms ars forced into their
hands, and they must either fight iheir own flesh
and blood, or be shot as deserters. It any young
men, who might with propriety have come into
our hues have taken the oath, theirs is a righteous
retribution. But if men beyond the proper arms-
bearingage are driven into the enemy’s ranks,
then they deserve the pity of God and man. But
their fate should teach all a le«on.
Quite as recently, we have proof of the enemy’s
diabolism in tbe outrages committed upon the
ladiea at Elizabeth City, iu N'rth Carolina.
Later still, we have the fiendish utterances of
Butler, crying for the fierjest retaliation, because
wo refused to treat with him, a d .dared outlaw,
and dcUwUnced by the civilized world as an en
emy of mankind. Nor have we forgotten that
a few weeks ago, within caunon sound of this city,
an oldl man was murdered in cold blood, buried
head foremost in the common road, and a horri
ble placard left affixed to hia protruding feet, as
a warning to all who dare defend the honor of
their liousebolds All these things are fresh iu
the public recollection. Other horrors will come
troopi ng day after day. There is no fear that
the enemy wili leave ua any excuse for believing,
hopiaj;, or even dreaming of an honorable adjust
ment on any terms. Wo must win, or we must
submif’, absolutely and unconditionally to ^abject
slaverir ” There is no help lor it, even if the yan-
kees w i.shed it His war debt must be paid. All
the property in the South will not more than pay
it, PirofcH^io'is of Unionism will not save it.
This b Ks been tried recently by the tories of East
TennetWoe, and everyftjing they owned was swept
away. When all the property of a people is gone,
they art; beggars, and beggars cannot be choosers.
Butw by argue the matter)' It is as plain as noon
day. %Yo must conquer our independence, or we
must b'icomo the servants of servants—the slaves,
literall3r, of our slaves and of yankee fanatio.4,
who wiitl delight ^ compe' us to perform the most
menial and dugruceful drudgery. And if this
be not I, hell on earth, what is, what can be?

miles a day. Indeed, Gen. Bueil stated officially
that Gen. Bragg's rtiar was covered by cavalrj
which was handled with more skill than had ever
been known under similar circuaistances
After the Kentucky campaign, upon the united
recommendations of Gsnerals Bragg, Hardee,
Polk and Breckinridge, Col. Whealer was com-
misftioned Brigadier General, and sent to Middle
Tennessee. Soon therealter, on the 26th of De
cember, Ibt>-, liosocrant commeaced his march
on M urfrcesburo’ For three successive days
General Wheeler so disposed his forces as to in
duce the eucmy to believe he was resisted by our
entire army. When Gen. Bragg was ready to
receivc the enemy, Wheeler quietly withdrew .at
niglitfall within the infantry lines. After a few
hours rest, ‘ to horse!” was again sounded, and
with about hOO men he made a circuit and fell
upon the enemy’s rear and wagoa trains. Train
atter train was captured or destroyed; ajpd build-
iog after building tilled with valuable stores, was
burned. The loss sustained by the enemy in
wagons, mules, supplier and mater ial^was immeuee.
At night he camped his weary horsemen under
the light of the Federal camp fires, and on the
following day, he joined in the'fierce carnage of
the 31st l>ecember, charging repeatedly upon the
enemy’s lines and rendering most importaut ser
vice in the great bat'lo. Upon the conclusion of
the struggle around Murfreesboro’ and the with
drawal ot the Confederates, ho was again called
upon to cover the retreat of the army. For five
days he held the enemy in check after our In
fantry had evacuated tho town, and thus gave our
forces time to remove their trains and secure
their supplies.
After tbe battle of Murfreesboro’ General
Wheeler was ordered to work upon the enemy’s
lioo of communications. With scarcely 500 ef
fective men in his command, he commenoed the
march, and amid the beating snow and ice hunted
up the enemy’s stores ou the banks of the Cum
berland, and along tbe railroad from Murfreesboro’
to NaBhvillo. A dozen transports, ladeu with
rich supplies and guarded by a gunboat, bound
for the ‘‘Aimy of the Cumberland,” tell a prey
to his bold troopers, and their blackened hulla
soon lined the shore. The armamant of rifled
guns belongins to the gunboat, a uumber of small
arms, and valuable supplies of amrauuition, in ad
dition to the cargoes ofthe transports, fell into their
hands, aud were either destroyed or brought off.
Not leib than twenty other transports, yarded by
iron clad gunboats, took fright, threw overboard
their valuable stores into the muddy Cumberland
and thus lightened, were enabled to escape the
daring Confederates
At Ashland on the north bank of the river,
the enemy had collected immense supplies of
sabsisteaoe. Although the Cumberland was
much swollen by recent rains, Wheeler swam his
dauntless horsemen over, and drove off the guard
consisting of a regiment of infantry, and destroyed
storey covering several acres of ground. About
this time he was joined by Forrest and his com
mand, the two uniting with him in chasing the
enemy into the forts at Dover, and in capturing
a battery of splendid rifle guns, more ammunition
and bmall arms, a hundred prisoners, a wagon
train, and a number of mules and horses. On
his return to army headquarters he took other
prisoners and a tram of cars. The loss inflicted
upon the enemy during this brilliant expedition,
in which a formidable gunboat was forced to
strike her colors to “Wheeler’s horse marinee,”
delayed the advance of the enemy lor several
months, thus proving it to be one of the most ef-
i fective raids of tho entire war. Before ho rflftoh.-

A iien»ii>U —The N V. World, in com
menting on President Davis’s iato message, says:
“Whoever infers from this gloomy message that
the Tobeb are about to give up, draws a conclu
sion which events will disappoint, and which
oarefui refleotion on' the measage itseli should
suffice to confute, if the rebels had any thought
of surrender, they would not ibus turn their Con
federacy inside out for our inspection. If they con
sidered negotiations for submiv>ion within the
range of possibility, it would bj their cue to con
ceal their weakness, in the hope of thereby
obtaining more favorable terms. These bold
confessions are among the most painful proofs of
undaunted and invincible determiuatiou which
tbe rebel chiefs have ever giveu.”
Tke Tory Women of Edit Tenribsste —A sel-
dier iu Longstrcet’s army writes to the Savannah
Kepubiican:—
“This is a beautiful and fertile country, watered
by tbe Holston river and numerous small tribu
taries, and pleasantly diversified with ranges of
mountains running Northeast and Southwest. The
people are divide^ il their sentiments, some true
as steel to our cause, bat many poor wretches
'converted by ^green backi are against us.
“The enemy hiure recruited some among these
people, but from the lowest and mos? ahject class,
that are so mean and cowardly they arc uot at all
feared. The respectable farmers are our staunch
friends, but when you strike a bad neighborhood,
look out for closed doors, ugly sharp-nosed bare
footed women nnd a redundancy of white headed
children. Go to one of their hovels and ask if
you can buy a chicken, and immsdiately a frizzled
head, angular faced female, will poke out a cra
nium from a holtf in the logs, known as windows
among them, and answer: ‘No, ’thout you got
greenbacks; you’ns n^oney aint worth a —We

is not a reformation.”
?«». Sickles.—The Northern papers favor
their readers with glowing accounts of a luxurious
and magnificant carriage which has been present
ed to Gen. Sickles by his admirers. So goes the
world. Stonewall Jackson, tbe »aiat and hero,
rode an old sorrel horse that f«w but himself in
either army would be willing to mount. Sickles,
the military pretender, the notorious debauchec,
who murdered his wile’s paramour after conniv
ing at his own dishonor, and who has been des
cribed by one of his own fellow-citizens as “tbe
greatest prostitute in New York,” rides in state
like a prince. But who would not rather go afoot
all hrs life and die a thousana deaths than be the
oeoupaut of that carriage?—'Ricknutml IHspatch.
(Jhrintmat Prophecy.—Among the Christmas
Carols, in the fine old collection, edited by Wright,
and published in the very iuteresting Miscellany
of Ancient British Literature, issued by the Percy
Society, occurs a series of prophecies, triuohing
the several days on whieh Christmai falls in suc
cessive years. This is taken from the Harleian
Manuscript*. We give that which shows the sort
of seasons aad events we are to expect when
Christmas Day happens on a Friday, as is the
case the present year (18ti3). We modernize the
apelling, and, in some small degree, the language:
*‘If Christmas oa a Friday be.
The first of the wlotar bard shall be,
With frost and saow, and ice and flood; —
Bat the latter end thereof ihall be geod.'
Ag«in, shall the snmtaer be a^so fia«,
And 3en shall profit in every iiae;
Women with ohild, and bffuta with kiaa.
All shall multiply; none be lorn;
And the child who oa Ihait day ia bom,
8hall live a long and vigoroua lifo.
Fall of profit and f^oe from strife.
Whose sh^ wrong his neighbor’s rii;ht,
Kis erirae skall qaioklj eome to light;
And if then troubled or siok shall be,
II wiU sooB be over and then go tree.”
that -Mtwby was to have a meeting that day in
Reciortown, they concludad to break it up, and,
it possible, capture him and his mon. Not know
ing the road from Upperville to llectortowo, they
pressed as a guide a negro man, who brought
them into the rear of the town They found a-
bout 15 of our men there who s lOn got out of
their way.
3Iaj. Moi*by being absent on a scout, informa
tion was immediately eommunicatod 10 Capt. W.
it Smith, V'ard by, who went out reconnoitering
with Sgt JohnsoD. He felt his way into one end
of the town and saw tbe yaukees go out the other
end. In the meantime some 20 men had aihsem-
bled under a large bill ucc'tu of tbe railroad,
awaiting orders from Capt Smith. Soon Lieut.
Williams came back with orders to forward to the
town We reached the pl ice in a tew minutes,
and were there joined by other members of the
command, thus increasing our uumber to -J-l m^n.
Having ascertained tho exact number cf yankees,
we dashed through tho town alter them.
The bad condition of the roads, combined with
their having half an hour’s start of u?, prevented
our overtaking them at a nearer point than four
miles from Kectortown. Our advanced guard con
sisting of thret men, under the command ef Mr.
Mountjoy, cbargcd them; the yankees halted and
returned the fire. In the meantime, tbo men
under the command uf (japt. Smith came up.
The Captain ordered us to charge them, which
wc did, and with such force did we yo tfirowjh
tUtm, although outnumbering us nearly 3 to 1,
that they broke and ran like sbtep. 5 were kill
ed in the charge, S wounded, arid 2U captured.
We pursued them 10 miles, and picked aip along
the road 25 more, making 45 prLsoners, besides
r-0 horses. WJien they passed through Union
they bad only 15 men out of SO. The casualties
ou eur side were only 2 wounded.-

Capture of a Yanket Train an>I }~an.’cef-s.—
A portion of our cavalry forces, under command
of Gen. Fitz Leo aud Gen. Rosser, have been
looking after the yankees, yackee trains, iu
the mountains of Hardy.^ They have had a ter
rible time, so far as the weather was eonc rned;
their passage of the mountain summits and p.asses
entitling them to be ranked witli Na;;oiCO?i ,s vete
rans who faced the fury of a winter j atsage of the
Alps. Their labors, we are pleased to siy, have
uot been^ so far, entirely fruule.‘*s. Oa .Sunday
evening they took a train of 4U yunkt 1 wagons,
with their teams, guards and drivers. A majority
of the wagons had six splendid mule” and horses
attached to them; -and the wagons were of the
very best desoription. We succeeded in getting
out and bringing to this part of the Valley, only
25 or 2G of the wagons, with all the ho>-.-es and
mules. The others were destroyed.
On Sunday night, we made a haul of aiiout 50
yankees in a churo^i. This was a surprisa. 'The
yankees had not the remotest idea that there were
any of the Confederates about until Gen. Lee
summoned them to surrender )r fight, as they
might prefer. Th*y looked out, saw our forces,
and concluded to surrender. Th% prisoners reach
ed Harrisonburg on Wednesday evening.

SuccfSf of Gfit. Forrest'.—>A private despatch
from Gan. Forrest, dated Sonatobiji, the 31st ult.,
to one of his Stafi in Atlanta, says:
“I have returned with^hree thousand men for
arms. On my way out 1 met the enemy and
fought them four days, and repulsed them each
day with heavy.loss to them. !Vly loss wa.s light.”
A special despatch to the Mobile Register, of
the same date, giving an account of the same ex
ploits, says Gen. Forrest crossed the Memphis
and Charleston railroad safely ou the 27th, after
several fights, in all of which he was successful.
He defeated the Tth and 9th Illinois, near Sum
merville, with heavy loss; captured Lafayette;
drove the enemy into his works at Collierville;
captured the wagon train of the Tth Illinois and
sixty prisoners; fought the enemy, infantry and
cavalry, at Jack's Creek north of Jackson, tcun.,
on the 22nd and 2Bd, and drove them back.
They did not advance again. Chalmers formed a
junction with him yesterday.
Mrs. Ruth Lee was shot and mortally wound
ed, by her husband, Addison Leo, at Reuben
Long’s, near Harrisonburg, on last Tuesday.
Lee had presented a cocked pistol to Long’s
breast, Mrs. Lee seized the pistol to prevent her
husband shooting Long, and drawing it dowu re
ceived the contents in her own body.

arrived from North Carolina, that the 62d Geor
gia regiment captured two negVoes and a white
lieutenant of a negro regiment who were identi
fied as belonging to the party who hung Lieut.
Griflitb. It was det-ermined to take the three to
the spot where poor Griffith was murdered and
hang them in retaliation. The captures were
made in Perquimon? county, N. C.

Thf Tr.nneffee Arrny.—From an officer in the
army of Tennos.sce, who arrived here last evening
we have tho most encouraging account of affairs
in that quarter. The otiicers and men have great
confidence in Gen. Johnston, and the condition
Ol rhe army has been much improved, both as re
gards numbers an ! supplies. It is intimatj3d
that there will be stirring news from a portion of
that department which will agrcebly surprise the
public before many days.—76.
Gen. Johmton’A Army.—The following is an
extract from u private lettor of Gen. Joe John
ston to a friend in Atlanta:
“I find the t»-oop3 in general comfortably cloth
ed. A few hundred, however, are without blank
ets, and as many without shoes. I fear that the
Quartermaster’s Department will not be able to
furnish the blankets soon, but we arc receiving
and expecting regular supplies ol shoes. Two
benevolent ladies of Columbus—Mrs. Carter and
Mrs. Law—brought us 150 blankets a few
ago, collected by tlicm at that place.”
Condition uf Our Annies.—If the truth is to
be told, we may say that our armies arc now better
clothed aud t>bod thau iu any former winter cam
paign ot the war. The principal suffcring^is that
from the difficulty of subsistence. Resides this,
our soldiers have hardly one third the utensils
absolutely necessaiy to cook the miserable pittance
issued.—Richmond Ex., 1
Rumored Retnocal of Beast Butler.—A re
port was in circulation yesterday in the city that
lieast Butler had been removed from his command
ot the Department of Virginia and NorC^i Caro

stead. We were unable to trace it to any authen

Elder T. E. Skinner.—The friends of Ibis
gentleman will be gratified to learn that he has
had a safe voyage aud has probably arrived in
Knglaud. When his letter was written he was
within two days sail of Liverpool. Many persons
had shown him great kindness on the way and he
expressed the opinion that all the civilized na
tions of the earth, save riie United States, sympa
thize with our country in her terrible struggle.
We sincerely hope that his journey may be safe
and pleasant. He C'Ojrried with him funds to pur-
chaso stereotype plates of the Ngw Testament for
the Board of iMissions of the Baptist State Con
vention; and we shall await tho next letter from
him with some degree of impatience. If he can
succeed in getting the plates through the block

towards supplying our soldiers with the Word of
