We derive strength and consolation I'rom the faith vshich wc cherish in the deveiopment of the future. 1 lowever trying may be the scenes through which, as a {leople, as families and as individuals, we shall have to jiass, we are still buoyant and hope ful of a bright luture to us who er.dure these pri- vatii^ns, and to those who shall come after us, to enjoy the good heritage which we shall, by this war, establish lor them. On our part, on the part of the Southern people, this war is a necessity which we could not avoid, and when God sets ajiart an age, a pcoj^H or an indiviJual, to take a great part in the aifair.-i ol the world, that same God prepares them witli ibr- titude and courage to fit them for Jieir destined task. So it is now. 1 he ])Cople arc moveil as by the power of destitiy to do and siitler everything that war reijitire (hem to ^'ul}er. IJeiice, men uvi ryw here are excited to deeds which they never would have thought of in time of peace and (juiet. Families submit patiently to jnivations, which, but lor the war excitcuient, they could not en dure. We begin to feel severely the effects of the war and the blockade in all matters of bu.siness and trade. Sujipiies ot the usual goods, and even pro visions, arc becoming scarce. Hence prices on everything aie going up to figures which, owing to the scaicity of money and the diminishing or sus-pensicm ol liu.'^ine.ss, it i;? difficult for many peo- j pie to pay. 'i lie.-'C evils are augmenting upon us every day. Y«t we do not complain. We know that the.'O things are occasioned by the war, and we look lor little or no relief till the war is etided. I ntil the j resent troubles be overp:ist it is the duty, and it .-'hould be the pleasure, of tiie people to lighten each oti'.er's burtlu iis as much as pos sible. 'J he strong should bear with the weak. 'J he resources of the South are such that any thing like famine or starvation of any {/art of our i people need not he apprehended, '1 he means of ; .subsistence can be produced within our own coun- i try, and the change,s which happen in the circuin- ^tances and pursuits ot individuals may prove an i advantage to them, aiid to the jiro.*[,erity of the countiy in the end. 31any enterprises will be started, and many sourccs of jirofitable labor will besouglit out, which will become of jicrmanent advantage imleveloping the re. ourecs of our country, which are now whol ly unimproved. The pressure which we now feel will h;ive th.c I ellce.t to .iti:iiulate cnt rprisc, and to enlarge the oj'eiaiion ol Southern capital and labor. Hut this war must end. It cuninjt last, at least it cannot maintain the huge projiortions it has attained, many months to come, 'i be North cannot long endure the loads and the evils which are already falling with erushin g force upon the mass of the peojde. The war mtist di'.ninish its pro])ortions, anu its evils must be mitigated, before winter set.'; i.i.

It would have been no credit to us, if, cradled in peace and pursuing unmolested our ordinary en gagements, we should have been undisturbed and unmoved from our accustomed paths, by tl'.e sud den bursting of the storm of war. Something is due to the sensibilities of our nature, and he who, without imjiression, can witness social tragedies, on whatever scale, is le.ss than a man. Rut there has been enough time for indulgetice of this first shock to our feelings and the absorp tion of our thoughts and energies. Other duties begin now to appeal to us again for their appropri ate observance aud accustomed respect. They de mand of us the recognition due to their long-ac knowledged and unchanging importance, i’rom- ineut among these Is that alluded to in the ex tract above—the duty of educating the young. Our schools have suffered an interruption during the present year; let it not grow into their suspen sion. J.et the interruption cease at once where it is practicable, and in all cases at the earliest po.ssible day. The oj-portunity for instruction, if now lost by the boys and girls who are soon to be our men and women, will be irrevocably lost. The btiy of this year is the man of next year. A brief peiiod only lies between the school-girl and the grown lady, 'if this time, allotted to education, shall pass unimjuoved, the season will be gone to | d‘-rsta uling that they were to be sent home on hand, but convert it into meat. A pig, even now, if properly fed, will make good pork before warm weather next spring. There will be a de mand for every pound of bacon and beef we can make in the Confederate States. If the war con tinues, a plenty of meat will be essential to our safety ; if it ceases, it will be a great blessing not to he dependent on the North-western Stutet for a sujiply. As our country is the only one of which wo hare any account, that is ble.'ised this year with abun dant crops, it encourages the hope that we are un der the special favor ol Providence, and it «hould admonish us of the importance of striving to de serve a continuance of that favor.—JiicLmond • — - — ATROCIOUS TREATMENT OF OUB PRISONERS. A number of our .soldiers who were taken pri.s- oners at the battle of Rich Mountain, on the 12th of June last, arrived here yesterday from their place C'f impr'sonment in ()hio, having p:issed tho lines .it Norfolk umler a flag of truce. Mr ])avid Comfort, one of the number, formerly a resilient of Charlotte (’ourt House, in this State, gives us nn intelligent and deeply interesting ac count of the atrocious treatment in Ohio of a nuuibor of the prisoners taken at the Rich Moun tain and released on parole, with the distinct un- tliose person.s forever. Parents will thus perceive that they have a duty to perform towaid.s tiieir children which they may not defer; aud the young people themseives will see that if they do not wish to grow up uneducated, they have something to do besides surrendering themihclve.s to the excite ments of the war. Then let our schools go on. Let us educate our children as carefully as ever, so far as we pos sibly can. Sujijiose the war should last, as it may. several years, and that meanwhile this policy ol closing colleges aud sliutting ui) schools, .‘>liould continue; the generatiiiO wliich treads on the heels of the present adult population, will come to their places, and will act their part through life, with out those advantages of education which we so justly value, and we will be to blame for it! 1'he duty of parents, and the duty ol'citizens combine to reiuire of us all that this evil shall not come. The farmer who ‘•grinds his seail corn” will reap no crop tho tiext year, and will deserve no com passion. —Ridt mo ml L'n (inner. Mr x'omfort, with fourteen of his fellowprisoncrs released on parole, after being detained for a long time at Beverley, were at lust sent into Ohio, sup posing that they were to be returned home On arriving at Columbus, Ohio, they were all arrested and imprisoned by the order of Gov. Pennison. The place of their imprisonment was at “C’amp Cha.se,” about four miles from Columbtis, where a large J en, closely plunked up with sentinel towers, w as made to serve as a prison. Within this enclos ure of plank, which was about sixteen feet high, two long sheds had been oiected as places of con finement. 'Ihese were divided into mere stalls without doots, and without one single article of furniture, not even bedding or blanket. Into the.se mere partititnis, resembling stalls for cattle, our stddiers were trust. 'I’he sufferitig.s inflicted upon thetii almost exceed belief. 'I'hey were fed on scanty rations of crackers and me.ss pork. Sometimes they were paraded as often as a dozen times a day to be shown to visitors. Many of these were Ohio ladies. Resides the prisoners on parole, amorig whom was Mr Comfort, who were thrust into this vile and brutal place of confinoment, it was already occupied by over one hundred citizens of Western \'irginii, captured by the army, besides some twenty five soldiers taken in the various engage ments in the West. in giving us a relation of the sufferings of tho prisoners, Mr (’omfort mentioned incidents of the brufa! and savage treatment of our wounded calculatcd to affect the hardest heart.
