Tbi Paosrsor. It items to us that upon the events
of the next thirty days will depend the remit of the pre
sent great struggte. Within that brief period the term
of enlistment of ft wrj Urge portion or the yankee army
will expire. Will ibey voluntarily re-enlUt? It is
soarcely possible that they can be Induced to do so, sick
of the war as" they are known to be, and uninfluenoed
by any such considerations aa 90m pel our Southern
toops to continue in servioe to defend their homes
against confiscation and their families against outrage
and murder. Defeated, disheartened, disgraced in the
eyes of the world, if not in their own, by their vile con
duct not lens than by the failure of their grand armies
to overcome a people eo inferior in number and so ill
prepared for-the contest, it is not to be expected that
they will remain in the Beld ne hour longer than they
are compelled to do. Will they be compelled? Will
one part of the yankee army receive orders to compel
the other part to remain after the expiration of their
term of servic! And if so, will they obey such orders?
These are questions which only time ean answer. We
must wait till the middle of May to see what course
events will take, assured that if the yankee army dwin
dles away from the departure of these hundreds of thou
sands whose two years' term of service will expire, there
will be a virtual end of the war, for it is not likely that
another powerful army can be raised, certainly not by
voluntary enlistment, and the indications of popular
feeling lead us to believe not by draft or conscription.
Bot in the mean time events may oocur to. charge the
whole aspect of affairs. A great battle, with victory in
our favor, would strengthen the probabilities of peace
whioh we iuduige from the above view of the situation
. So a great yankee viotory would revive the drooping
spirits of the enemy. More than one such great battle
is likely to take place. We may look for one in our own
State Longatreet may fight another at Suffolk. Bragg
or Johnston still another in Tennessee. But above all,
we hear from many sources that 0n. Lee is about to
cross the Rappahannock to commence offensive opera
tions against Hooker. The effect of such a movement
will be great, either one way or the other. If heshculd
strike a severe blow there. Hooker's army would melt
away no amount of persuasion or compulsion would
keep them in the field.
These are of oourse but speculations. They affect us
pleasantly, for we hope and believe that results will be
ordered aright In the mean time, let us hopefully and
prayerfully await the progress of events during the next
thirty days.
Ths Yanks Abmt. The Fredericksburg correspond
ent of the Richmond Examiner says that he has ascer
tained that there are in the Potomao army alone 38 re
giments, averaging 700 men each, whose terms of ser
vice will expire within three weeks, and that their in
tention to leave the service is fixed and unanimous.
If these statements be true, they are in the highest
degree important. The loss of 26.C00 of their veteran
troops from the Potomac line will so weaken Hooker
that he will not be able to enter npon offensive opera
tions, even if he can maintain his ground within his own
fortifications. His promise in advance to discharge such
as decline to re-enlist rather surprises us, and we still
think that some scheme to detain them will be devised.
s
Perhaps he hopes that the promise of a furlongh to those
who may re-enlist may tempt most of them to do so.
Ths Cbaklkstoh "Reconnoissasci." The yankee
pretence that the attack npon Charleston was merely a
reoonnoissanoe, and that it had been successful as such,;
was one of those monstrous lies for which the whole na
tion has become notorions. They were, however, speed
ily compelled, to retract this story, and admit the terri
ble extent of the disaster. "If they had not, the false
hood would have been sufficiently apparent from "the
plan of attack and order of buttle," issued by Admiral
thipoat os the day before the attack, rftv whole of which
shows that it was meant for a grand battle, "and that
Dupont had no doubt of sucoess, for. after ordering that
the ships should not return the fire of the batteries on
Morris Island, bat pass directly forward to open fire on
Fort Sumter when within -easy range, he sayK
" After the reduction of Fort Sumter, it is probable the
next point of attack will be the batteries on Morris Isl
and." !
With auoh confident expectations, what must have
been the mortifioatlon of Dupont and his yankee breth
ren at the result! . .,
The correspondent of the New York Herald says:
"Thai ended the most remarkable conflict that has ever taken
plhce between war vessels and land fortifications remarkable la
tola, that the gam of the fort outnumbered by tea to one those of
. the vesnels. And yet, after all, 10 what i our failure to be attribu
ted! To the Impregnability of the land batteries or the weight and
number of their gun7 Only to a slight degree. The real inntru
menis of our defeat were the apparently Insignificant and coniempt
lOie barricade of rope work and netting aapendet across the chan
nel, and wh'ith kept our vestals at a point no which the rebel gun
had previously been concentrated. Kurt might have been passed
and batteries silenced, but these twining enemies, which, like the
serpents of Laocoou, coiled themselves amand the motive machin
ery of our veatels and prevented the play of their iron arms, were
not u be got rid of by force. In their grrnrp our vessels were In
nocuous. Without these obstructions, all the torts that defended
Charleston, from Lighiboa Point lo Cas lie Pinckney, would have
been tnsiamctant to slop our Monttura from anchoring of) the Bat
tery of Charleston.
It has been calcslated that same 3,300 rounds were fired by the
rebels. In one minute there were 160 counted. On our side there
were bat 150 shots tired In all, so that the rebels Ared inore than 20
shots tn our one. The Keokuk had only Bred three shots before
she received her death wounds.
The Captains of the iron clads met In the evening orT board the
flag ship, and I understand that there was but one opinion among
them as to the question of abandoning or renewingthe conflict, and
that was against renewing It at prevent Besides the Impediments
which had to be contended wnh yesurduy, similar obstructions
cooid be seen higher up the harbor. The space between Fort Kip
ley and fort Johnson was barred with a triple rww of plies, like
lhe between Kurt uintt-r snd Cummins' Poln t, only In the cen
' ire was oirrvvd an opening, at which it Is said there Is a lrpedo
set, nadt4 with lhe enormous Charge of 5.00U mudi1s of uunpow- I
asr. And yet the capture of Charleston Is by no weajis abandoned, I
only there List be more powerfnl means used."

One of the ebjeots we had in view' in the paragraph
on this subject in our last, was-to remind oar readers of
the propriety of thus disposing of the notes bearing date
previous to Deo. last. There is abundant time to do

A 8uuax8TioN. The Confederate Congress has wise
ly laid a tax of eight per oent. upon all provisions (as

pockets of those who are hoarding com, floor, bacon,

supplies more freely into market, and Jberebj reduced

"not, there Is every probability that the tax will operate
in that way;between this and the 1st of July. And
what we would suggest to" those who have a surplus of
provisions, &o. Ac, is that aa the 1st of July approaches,
the market will be more and more crowded and prices
will probably more and more fall. It ia only necessary
to tall attention to this view of the matter. Each holder
will of course oonsult hie own judgment as to the pro

Th SsnsJUSH bixow Kmston. An oHcer of tie 5Clh
Regiment writes from Kinston 21st inst., to his family
In this place, as follows: . v -
I '"Day before yesterday we were moved, with the 24th
and a light battery, to Wise's X Roads, a point 6 miles
below here where three rea ls from Newbern converge.
Gens, Ransom and Robertson weal with us. We were
thrown Into line of battle and remained in this position,
awaiting the advance of three or four thousand yankeee,
until about 4 P. M., when, the enemy being reported to
have retired, we turned to bivouao near that of the
night before, 1 miles south of Kinston. The night be
fore our maroh balow, four picquets of MoCIenahan's
cavalry were captured at Core creek (20 miles from
here) and the next morning the enemy were reported
advancing this side of the creek in the above-mentioned
force, which was the cause of onr going to Wise's.
Yesterday morning three companies of the 49th under
Lt. Col. Flemming, while on picquet, were attacked by
two infantry regiments and one or two companies of
cavalry. Our men held this force in check for an hour
and a half, when they retteated to a position half a mile
in the rear, the enemy not pursuing. One of onr men
reported killed and several wounded. The yankees
supposed to have lost a number. I know the name of
but one of those hurt, vis: Cavaness, whose wmind,
minie ball in the shoulder, onr Surgeon dressed. This
was only one of those picquet skirmishes which are oc
curring every day at some point on the lines. An Aid-de-Camp
has just told me that one man was killed and
eight or ten wounded from Netherentt's battalion (which
appears also to have been; engaged.j'and three or four
from the three companies of the 49th. From the fact
of the enemy not pursuing and the number of accou
trements, articles of clothing and dead horses left by
them where the skirmish took place, it is supposed they
were pretty roughly handled. .
"Duncan Moore's battery is just on onr . right. He
came day before yesterday from Washington. He tells
me that the four' companies (mentioned in a former let
ter) which scared back the 7000 yankees, were from the
11th re n't, commanded by 'Col. .Leventhorpe in person.
After three volleys from these companies, whioh set the
yankees tn running, three guns from some battery
which were stationed at theptcquet post, poureu grape
into their rear."

Messrs. Editors: Our forces all left the vicinity of
Washington 17th April, and Gen. Pettigrew's Brigade ar
rived here the 19th. Daniel's Brigade is near Greenville,
Oarnett'sMg somewhere below TarboroV .This sudden
den retrograde movement surprised and disappointed ns
a good deal. I believe every good soldier was anxious
to take the place, and redeem at least a portion of our
State from the insolent and barbarous foe. And I think
from our reoent experience in fighting the gun-boats
with light artillery, that if we had the place now we
could hold it. I heard to-day that our expedition was
made in order to draw reinforcements from Suffolk.
We have had beautiful balmy spring weather for a
few days, and our men are resting and enjoying it finely
after so much rain, mud and cannonading in the swamps
below here. We are about 20 miles from Greenville and
13 from Kinston. We marched through a beautiful and
fine farming country from Greenville to this place, and
I judge from the appearance of the dwellings, acade
mies and churches, that there is a good deal of intelli
gence and refinement among the inhabitants, and it
would certainly be a very desirable section to live in
when peace is made. But notwithstanding the soft
breexes, the budding trees, the early flowers and, all the
efforts of young Spring to drive away the dark gloom of
retreating Winter, a solemn stillness appeared to pre
vail everywhere as we marched along, plainly Indicating
tbt some loved one was absent from every borne that
we passed, and perhaps the mothers within were then
praying for peace, and the safe return of til eir sons.
Oh! what a dreadful thing war is! What a cruel, vin
dictive being man is! Every energy, effort and power
at his command is used in waging war on his fellow
men. But the first man that was born in the world mur
dered his own brother, and the same blood-thirsty prin
ciple appears to have been inherited by all men since
that time, for no nation nor people have escaped this
terrible scourge. But as long as e feel that our cause
is just and honorable, we must not be cast down. No,
never falter nor give up the cause that shonld be dearer
than life to every Southern-heart.
We have just received orders to march in half an
hour. We are going back towards Greenville.- They
say there is stirring news below there. Our men have
rested about two days and are ready 'for them again.
On our own soil we will meet them and battle for our
homes and our all. Pesct.

Messrs. E. J. Hale & Sons: We have
by far the largest regis sB fcrirade, 1O10rer.
and second largest In the State. We are well armed,
mostlywith new rifles. The health ef the regiment is
good, having lost but three men since we left North Ca
rolina on the 15th Feb'y. The men are well provided
with elothing, tents and blankets; the rations are had
and scanty, the beef of mixed quality, much of it very
poor. For the past ten days we have been fed on ba
con, 2 ounces per day to the man, and despite the ef
forts of the Colonel, who did all in his power to better
the condition of the men, they have Buffered some, bat
have borne it with heroic fortitude, encouraged aa they
were. by the Colonel and other officers, who by their
kindness have endeared themselves to every individual
man in the regiment. I am glad to be able to say that
we will get 4 ounoes of bacon, some sagar and rice, and
a fair supply of corn meal hereafter, which is far better
than flour for soldiers and is much easier prepared.
Should we be ordered to North Carolina a wild shont
of joy would go np from this command, as we all want
to stand or fall by oar good old mother. Yesterday we.
were marcnea lour mnes ana nacK to a review or all the
troops on this island. We suffered very much from thirst,
hunger and dust, and returned late in the evening in
no very good humor. On our way back a South Caro

and even tried to run their horses over ns. The Colonel
promptly gave th,e order to fix bayonets, which was
readily obeyed and South Carolina came to a dead halt.

Messrs. E J. Hale & Sons: In your issue of the 20th

soldiers in 8. C." You say," "We have seen a gentle
man recently from James Island, who gives a depbra-
ble account of the Want of provisions, bv which theT

restricted to (wo ounces a dav " If this were an it
would be calculated to render our manv friends at home
exceedingly-unhappy on our account. You have been
misinformed, and I think it the duty of some one to
make the correction.
I give below a correct statement of the suvnliea fur
nished to this regiment by out Commissary, and what
may be said of one applies ttf all, for we all fare alike,
as far as I've ever been able to ascertain
The following is the allowance for 100 men:
100 lbs", beef, (or, in lieu thereof, 25 lbs. bacon and
20 lbs. sqgar.)
10 lbs. rice, (or, In lieu thereof, 14 lbs. peas.)
J25 lbs. meal. '
371 lbs. -grits (small hominy.)
3 4 lbs. candles- ,
2 lbs. soap.
4J lbs. salt. :
With this allowance, as soantv aa it ia. wa r ntir.
ly "free from the gnawings of hunger." and at no time
of onr history ha this regiment been in as healthy and
as good oondition since being in the field.
I think it due to South Carolina to state, that her
own soldiers are furnished with the same rations in
common with us.
If our rations are not cut down from what they are
now at, the yankees will have a good time of it in starv
ing ns out. i v .
I give the statement above particularly for the in
formation of the families and friends of my company,
and will say to them, that they need have no fears yet
while or any of the boys perishing to death. They are
all in good condition and elegant fighting trim. I study
their welfare and am ever watchful of their interests,
and shonld it ever become necessary to call on onr
friends at home to give us something to eat, it will be
promptly done and as promptly complied with.

Editors Observer. la glancing over a copy of your paper some
time since, 1 found a paragraph tn a letter from yaur correspondent
-Long Oral," devoted to "Dan , Chief Musician In Iverson's
Brigade," and I here beg leave tn make a trifling cvrrtction, which
perhaps, "Long Crabs," la his effort to be funny, overlooked. As
the article first appeared ia your.nrnal, since copied la others. I
thought It proper that the alight mistaka should be corrected In the
same; thereby disabusing the minds of the-public in relation to
"Dan."
And first' as regards the "lapsus penns" In question, "Dan ,"
has tumor "seat " an application for furlough to Cen. D. II. Hill
as stated by "Long Grabs" (only a trifling discrepancy.) '
Again: na only three occasions at Cot lece Senior speaking, to
gether with the time employed preparatory therefor, has "Dan de
voted himself almost entirely to music." Mr. "Long Crabs" was
certainly misinformed la the premises. '
Lastly: as reeards Gen. Hill's "endorsement on my application,"
I merely remark that be has never had the opportunity of making
fun at as expense. I will mention, however, for the benefit of
"I.. G that Gen Lee has approved furloughs for all the bands in
this Corps; ours among the rest .
I am not prepared to deny that long Grabs may have sufficient
grounds for his remarks, but he is entirely mistaken In the man. 1
will add by w ay of advice, that "L. U " In an undertaking of this

An Incident. The Greensborough Patriot mentions
that in the Methodist Church in that place, a few Sun
days ago, a class leader, a slave, appealed to his co
lored brethren in behalf of a free colored man who was
very poor, ia fact in a starving condition. The hat
waa-passed around and the slaves present dropped in
nearly forty dollars.
Such an inoident, if the yankees conld so compre
hend as to believe it, might have an effect upon both
the abolitionists and their victims, the poor slaves whom
they have enticed or forced into freedom and want, in
fact to starvation. If in the undisoerned ways of Pro
vidence it is intended that the yankees shall ever be
permitted to realize their long cherished wish in. regard
to the negro race, it will doubtless be for some purpose I
of destruction of that race, at least of that portion of
the race now so comparatively comfortable in North
Amerioa. As the Indians have rapidly disappeared
from the face of the earth before tbe tender mercies of
the whites, so would the less warlike and less intellect
ual negroes, if once deprived of the protection of their
masters, who are moved by both interest and affection j
to preserre their liverand save them from the suffering
Land want now so common among the free blacks at tbe
North, and destined to be ten-fold more common when
the thousands recently stolen from the South shall reach
there, if they ever do reach there.
A Scene in a Yankee Methodist CenrtBc.
The New York Methodist Conference has adopted furious
war and anti-slavery resolutions, with only two dissent

their approval." .
When the two dissentients attempted to give their
reasons, in obedience to loud and threatening calls, they
mere "hissed" by their brother clergymen, with cries of
false,,' "sit down," &c. ; "
These "clergy probably supposed themselves, tn a

flames rapidly spread, and in a few seconds the fearful
glare or pallid light was dippelling the wild darkness of
night in awful grandeur. j
Then cheer after cheer was sent up by our cifizons

boat; a seen to leave her for the Louisiana shore. Uy

crafts of course passed on with impunity, and about a
quarter of one o'clock everything was quiet above, the

boats still being in range. The burning vessel floated
on, and when just above Burney's she commenced ca
reening and both her chimneys diopped off into the river.
The flames gradually diminished, and when she got
to the mouth of the canal, ;' a small light was all that
could be seen above the surface of the water. Firing
continued until a quarter after one o'cloek, when every-

Hooker, despairing of beating Lee, seems about to
beaa retreat. 313 wagon i and 247 pack mules came
puoring down from above Felmouth all day, to the Yan

now illuminate -the adjoining hills, and you would sup
pose a host had encamped against us. Some think
these things indicate a spe'edy fight. It looks more
like symptoms of a retreat, although, tents are said to
be more numerous on me nius aDove.

credited, at Guinea's station, that five regiments of the
enemy bad crossed tne ttappanannocK in email Doats,
near Port Royal in Caroline county. Dispatch.

From Suffolk. Richmond, April 25. Tho War De
partment is still without any official information from.
Suffolk. From the time of besieging the place, now
more than one week, it is said no oficial advices have
been received from Gen. Longstreet. It is now thought
that Gefi. Longstreet does not design an attack on the
place, or else he would not so long delay the blow. The
movement is thought to have another object than .the
capture of Suffolk.
The private advices we get from bunoiK, on tne con
trary, represent a battle still imminent, rarues irom
there' report that onr forces have not receded one inch
from the position occupied last w.eex Dy tnem. ine ad
vanced pickets of the two armies are not more than five
hundred Yards apart, and our troops are said to hold
Keeling s farm, in a few miles 01 bun out, where some 01

ject of holding this point is to command the river and
prevent the enemy s gunboats from passing up. A few

this movement against ounolk. Examiner

Ere darkened the light of her innocent brow; - 1
She bade a faroweH unto those who so hved her;
And whispered "My Father, I come to theenow. i
The terrors of death had not power to alarm her,
She felt not his darkness and feared not his sting,
The thought of her Saviour's kind mercy could calm her,
And her spirit went upward on faith s ardent wing.
"In her beauty she sleeps, but we will not regret bi-r
Oar tears may not moisten the flowers on her tomb;
Fox the smiles of her Saviour in mercy have met her
Oh death, thou art vanquished and past is thy gloom
"Then calm be the spot where her form now reposetb;
May the friends who so loved her revisit the grave,
And feel though the cold sod her ashes encloseth
She lives in the presence of Him whe can save."
