many negroes as they want. In short, a full li
cense is given to the brutal soldiers of Abe Lin
coln so steal and plunder our people wherever and
whenever they can. Ought these robbers to have
any mercy shown them; ought they not to be
dealt with as thieves and assassins?
Another aet of tyranny is that of the Lincoln
Generals banishing from their bomes all persons
who will not take an oath to support the Lincoln
Government. Southern people who are living
in districts in possession of the enemy will have to !
leave or bow down to their enemies. If they leave,
their property will be given to foreign paupers
and the detested yankee. This is one of the modes
adopted to populate the South with northern men.
Sooner than consent to live under the dominion
of the people who are invading and despoiling our
country, let us, after everyT dollar and man is ex
hausted, take protection under the Emperor of
France or soine other foreign power. Submit to
anything but a reunion with the yankees.
What ought to be done with men living in the
South who are giving aid and comfort to the ene
my by throwing obstacles in the way of the south
ern government ? What ought to be done with
such men as. that fellow in Forsythc county, a can

of reconstructing the Union ?

McClklxan's Losses. A gentlemau who was
recently at Fortress Monroe, and who heard much
unreserved conversation among the yankees, says
that it is acknowledged that McClellan had ninety
thousand effective men in the late battles, and
it is also acknowledged that he lost one-third, say
80,000 men. This includes killed, wounded, mis
sing, sick, and worn-out. Old Abe himself, when
pressed for the truth, acknowledged that McClellan
had sustained a disastrous defeat. As soma of the
fruits of our victory, it is now positively stated
that we secured -53,000 small arms, 00 cannon,
S00 horses and mules, a large quantity of powder
and bullets, pick-axes, shovels and spades, cloth
ing, etc., in large quantities.
The yankees have had the name of Jefferson
Davis erased from the arch of the Washington and
Potoniac Aqueduct.
That won't spite uncle Jeff much. No south
ern man wants his name connected with a yankee
monument of any kind.

. July 8, 18C2
Gen. Martin had any authority'over him or his
Legion. His authority, derived from the Secre
tary of War, was absolute, and could not have
been limited in its exercise by "the government
at Raleigh," unless it had determined to prevent
Confederate officers from raising troops in the
State. No sane man will believe that "the gov
ernment at Raleigh" was ever guilty of such folly,
or ever contemplated such an act of hostility to the
Confederate government.
Now, the Standard affirms that "Col. Vance had
permission from the Secretary of War to raise a
legion to consist, with his own regiment, of two or
three thousand men." We affirm he had per
mission to raise thirty companies, including his
own regiment. This would have left him twenty
companies to raise, exclusive of his own regiment.
The Rolling Machine says: "in a short time forty
companies were tendered to him, of which he
accepted thirty." He had the extraordinary right
granted him to muster them in himself; and, hav
ing accepted them, he had nothing to do but
muster them in and report for duty to the proper
authorities. Then the whole thing would have
been completed. Vance's legion would have been
raised, and Col. A'ance would have this day been
at their head in the field.
Now, we appetlf to military men whether we
are not right? If right, the Standard's or lloll
ing Machine's assertion that forty companies had
been tendered and thirty accepted is infamously
false. For, if accepted by Col. Vance, why'did
he not " muster them in," as ho was authorized to
do, and tender them at once to the government
from which he derived authority to raise them ?
If Col. Vance is any party to the slanderous false
hoods on the government, either at Richmond or
Raleigh, and we fear he is, he is as unfit to com
mand a regiment of patriot soldiers as he is to be
governor of the State.
Now, we happen to know something about Col.
Vance's legion. WThen at Goldsboro' some five or
six weeks ago, Col. Vance was there. A friend,
who had conversed with Col. Vance, told us he
was complaining about the difficulties which had
been thrown in his way by the government about
raising his legion. We went immediately to Gen.
Holmes and learned that no difficulties nor any
obstacles, whatever, had been opposed to Col.
Vance. He wanted Gen. Holmes to receive his
legion " by companies," which that officer told
him, and which Col. V. ought to have known, he
had no right to do. Gen. Holmes told Col. V. h'e
had been authorized to raise a legion of thirty
companies, and when those thirty companies were
tendered to him, he was bound as an officer of
the irovernment to receive them. Rut by the
terms of the authority conferred by the Secretary
of War, he could accept 710 less mimler. He,
Gen. Holmes, was to accept a whole legion of
thirty companies or none at all. The thy-ty com
panies never having been raised or never tendered,
Colonel ance s legion "icll through.
to the house-hold roof.
As our little army went dashing into Murfrccs
boro, awakening the echoes by the rattling of
their horses' hoofs "o'er the stony streets," the
whole population were aroused from their slumbers
and rushed to their windows,' balconies and veran
dahs, with every demonstration of delight. Ladies
could be seen kneeling in postures of thankfulness
to Heaven for the day of their deliverance. As
the morning advanced and as the fight thickened,
the same fair ones were in the streets in spite of
the whistling of balls and rain of lead, administer
ing to the wants of our soldiers, filling their can
teens with water, and their haversacks with an
abundance of provisions. Many of them could
not be restraiued from rushing into the streets
with disheveled hair and in their sleeping attire.
When any of our soldiers would fall or were
wounded, the Indies would clasp them in their
arms, assisting in bearing them to their houses
and ministering to them as to delivering angels.
When our officers would remonstrate, telling
tficm that they were in danger from the shots of
the enemy, they would reply that the Lord would
defend them, and that it was no greater peril than
that to whicli their gallant defenders were all ex
posed. Unheeding the shots from the enemy's
guns, they thought only of the comfort of their
gallant champions. One lady received a ball
through her dress, whilst another had her parasol
shot from her hand, the ball passing within two
inches ot her jewelled fingers. Such heroism has
never been known in the annals of war, and will
illuminate to the remotest generation the history
of our glorious land.
A company of Federals were in possession of
the Court-house, and were shooting our soldiers in
all directions from the windows above. Col. Mor
rison (1st Georgia) dismounted three of his com
panies and ordered them to charge the building,
which they did in gallant style, rushing through
the public square to the very doors of the edifice
under a most galling fire of musketry. Conscious
that the loss of life to our men would be terrible
by attempting to pass up the'stairwny, the build
ing was immediately set on fire, when, the Yan
kees above bawled out lustily for quarter. The
fire was extinguished, the whole company sur
rendered, and our imprisoned fellow-citizens'were
happily released. Among the released prisoners
were several of the daring band of Col. Jack Mor
gan, who had been taken prisoners some time ago
when that bold ranger met with his reverse at
Lebanon. The taking of the Court-house occurred
early in the action, and they fought like Spartans
till the affair was ended. None enjoyed the vic

! Making fast to tho vessel, they endeavored to
j seize the dog and stop his mouth by sending
him to the bottom, but the nuimal would not allow
a stranger's hand to be placed upon him. His
j barking had now aroused the Captain of the ves
i sel, who came upon deck, and desired to know tho
1 cause of the untimely visit. .Ho was answered
by Martin, who quickly 'sprang to the deck of tht
j schooner, and informed the Captain that he had
j come at the bidding of Gcu. McClellan, to effect his
j arrest. Tly Captain cspiessed great surprise,
I declared his innocence of crime, and wished to
know what were the charges against him. He
was told by Martin that he was uot there to decida
upon his guilt or innocence, nor to prefer charges
ot any sort, but to effect his arrest as Gen. Mc
Clellan had ordered. The Captain then consented
to submit, and manifesting no disposition to resist,
was allowed to get in the boat untied. In the
meantime the other five soldiers had reached tho
dock of the vessel, and gone into the cabin.
Here they found a straw bed, which was ripped
open, set on fire, and the cabin door closed. The
party speedily disembarked, leaving the crew be
hind, who, it is supposed, have escaped on tho
small boats belonging to tho schooner. They
were not taken because the boat used by tho
boarding party, had a hole near its top, and could
carry but seven men. As the surprise party
pulled off for the Southern shore, the Captain of
the schooner had hia su.picions aroused as to tYio
arrest having been niadu by order of McClellan,
and remarked to his captors that the General' '
Headquarters were not on that side of the, river.
He was told to "hold his peace;" that hia ' captor
knew what they were about; that they had chang
ed their mind and intended taking hiai to a
Confederate, instead of a. Federal General. , The
Captain now became alarmed, and besight the
clemency of his captors, stating, with, tears in hi
eyes, that he had a wile and children in New
York, who would be uot only deeply distressed at
his . loss, but greatly impoverished. His fears
were quitted by tho assurance that he would not
be 1 iarined, but that as he was a subject of tho
Lincoln Government, ho must consider his capture
as entirely legitimate, and himself a prisoner ol
war.
Upon reaching the hhore the Captain declared
that had he seen his captors approaching from tha
Southern bank, the iuso adopted would not havo
availed, for he had arms aboard, (Enfield Rifles,)
and would have only eurrendered wit! his life. '
Iu the passage from the vessel to the shore,
not a ray of light, save, the lamp in the rigging,
was to be seen, and our boys had made up their
minds that the vessel would not burn, and that tho
arrest of the Captain was tho only result of their
enterprise. Rut they were eoon most agreeably
disappointed, for as they ascended thr; bank, the
fire suddenly burst out, and in a few minutes the
flames were iicking the sides of the vessel from
bow to stern. She burned slowly but brightly,
and the flames illuminated the river and tho coun
try around fa- miles. Our informant states that
it was quite amusing to wittier the commotion
among the fleet of Old Abo, consisting of noma
two hundred steam and sailing craft. Steam was
crowded on gunboats and transports, and" the nail
ing craft were quickly towed-out of the reacts of
the burning schooner. She continued to burn
from half-part one until tho dawn of day, when
only such poiticns as were below the water's edr;o
remained. '
The schooner was nearly new, called tho Lrn!.i
Rives, and commanded by Cat. John A. Jones,
of New York. She was Kj.T lam" burthen,
loaded with corn and provisions, and valued at
$8,000, exclusive of cargo.. Cap,: ,Jme was
