It will be seen that it is the intention of the Depart ment to raise a Battalion of Mounted Men for special service in.

Parties enlisting in this Battation will be exempt from duty in the Militia and Home Guard, aud will re ceive the pay and allowance of cavalrymen. The Enrolling Officers throughout the Sfate are au thorized to receive recruits, or they may report direct ly at either of the Camps of Instruction. By order of Col.

A Female Srt The Petersburg Register of last week says that a female, supposed to be a spy, dressed in man's apparel, was, arrested in Gates county, N. C, and sent to Petersburg under guard. She was recognized as a Miss Allen from Norfolk. She was dressed in a round jacket, which showed her shape " not wisely, but too well," and other costume to match. She is about 18 years old. , m . The Christian Soldier. The Rev. A. W. Mangum of Goldsboro, N. C, in a letter to the North Carolina Christian Advocate, speaks of the death of two Confederate soldiers at the Hospital in Gettysburg. He says : "Oie of them, when told by the physician that he must die, spoke eloquently to the comrades who gathered around him. It was a touching scene. It must have been a terrible ordeal to him, and yet he made it magnificent he made it victory. Far from home in a land of foe& in the midst of strangers a captive, wounded, suf fering, dying. What were his words ? "I am sorry that I must die before our independence is gained; but it will be gained if we fight on and put our confidence in God. We have fought together on the battle-field, let us meet together in Heaven V . This was grand. Such scenes alone can display the sublimity of a christian.hero 's spirit. Sergt. Stegar sleeps in his grave at Gettysburg, hut he built his monument before he died.;- Another "young soldier, when dying, exclaimed "All is well,"' and became speechless. When asked 'are you happy and are you prepared to die he could 'only nod his head that was enough. Perhaps it was a salute to the swift angels that greeted him." With such christian soldiers we will triumph. ST On the first day of December, the. Catholic church of America and Europe, commence prayers for peace everywhere. These prayers commence on the 1st inst., and are to continue for 20 days, according tp appointment of the Pope of Rome. All Christians in the Confederate States might unite in these prayers for peace, and beseech God to deliver us from our enemies. J&sjT A merchant was arrested in Richmond re cently for rendering fraudulent' list of sales to the Confederate tax collector. He was bound over in the sum of $40,000. It is strange that so many men will make false returns, and swear to a lie, for the purpose of avoiding the payment of a few dollars tax. It is suggested that in order to prevent and detect frauds, publication should be made of all tax re turns. Five times the cost of publication would be saved by the increased amount of taxable pro perty returned. The fear of exposure would com pel some men to be honest. We take the following from an exchange paper showing some of the tricks resorted to for the pur pose of evading the tax law: Defrauding the Currency. A man engaged in business in this city'has been arrested lately, and held for trial, charged with perjury and de frauding the Government of the war tax. If the charge is sustained, we hope 6peedy and severe. punishment will follow conviction. We have heard of a case by which the tax law has been evaded in a way that may not be readily detected, but which richly deserves condign pun ishment. A gentlemen wishing to purchase a large quantity of whiskey applied to a dealer, who took him to another store, and sold him the whis key, and received the money. A gentlemati who witnessed the transaction in quired of the merchant in whose house the liquor was stored, how it was, that the other sold-his whiskey? He answered that it was all right. lie did not sell the whiskey, therefore,, he should not include the sale in his returns to the tax-collector; and as the merchant who did sell never had the whiskey in his possession, therefore, he would not report the sale; thus avoiding the payment of the Confederate tax ! Thi3 case occurred in a neighboring city, and is one of the many shifts to which scoundrels resort to cheat the Government. If there is any way to punish such dishonest dealers, they should have the extreme penalty of the law meted out to them. We fear there is more of this dishonesty prac ticed than the .people suspect, and it behooves all in authority to bestir themselves and ferret out the f rascals. A Heroine. The Atlanta Register says: Gov. Shorter, of Alabama, in a special message to the Legislature, recommends that body to give some expression to the appreciation of the services ren dered by Miss Emma Sansom, of Cherokee county, who by conducting Gen. Forrest over a creek diffi cult of passage, enabled him to defeat and bag the Yankees. When she proposed to show Gen. For rest the way to the private ford on the creek,' her mother, with a delicacy becoming a prudent parent, objectedt o her going with the soldiers. "31a," said she, "I am not afraid to trust myself with Confederate soldiers." Miss Sansom U about twenty years of age, and a lady of excellent private character and moral worth; the daughter of a poor widow lady, and has three brothers in Confederate service. We recommend the Legislature of Geor gia to give a tangible evidence of their appreciation of her meritorious conduct. From the Raleigh Journal. BOLL OF HON OH.

THE HOUSE OF IlOTnSCniLD- : Among all the Congresses held last summer,, of princes, lawyers, musicians, school-masters, social science men, political economists, and .a hundred others, one very notable meeting has alcqost esca ped public attention. A few days afro our Paris correspondent told us that a Congress of the mem- :n f i . i t . vci- ut vuc uiusirious noose 01 xvoinscniia nas Deen sitting at Paris. The purport of the meetioe wis -nothing less than to rearrange the dominions of the great banking dynasty. In one word, the great object' of the great Rothschild Congress was to reduce the five branches of the house who now rule Europ.e to four, and, following the example of Garibaldi, to strike another sovereign of Naples from the list of reienins monarchs. Henceforth there are to be but four kings of the house of Pntdo-liilJ . ! - yiu.nm, wim secure mrones at ionaon, i ans, Vienna and Frankfort. It is now exactly a hun dred year Bince a poor jCW eaue(j Mayer Anselm, made his appearance at the city of Hanover, bare footed, with a sack on his shoulders "and a bundle, of rags on his back. Successful in trade, like most of his co-religionists, he returned to Frank fort at the end of a few years, and set up a small shop in the "Jew Lane,'- over which hung the sign-board of a red shield, called in German roth schild. As a dealer in old end rare coins, he made the acquaintance of the Serene Elector of Hesse Cassel, who happened to be in want of a confiden tial agent for various open and secret purposes, ap pointed the shrewd-looking Mayer Anselm td the post. The Serene Elector, being compelled soon after to fly his country, 3Iayer Anselm took charge of his cash, amounting to several millions of florins. With the instinct of his race, Anselm did not for get to put the money out on good interest, so that, before Napoleon was gone to Elba, and the illus trious Elector had returned to Cassel, the capital had more than doubled. The ruler of Hesse Cas sel thought it almost a marvel to get his money safely returned from the. Jew Lane of Frankfort, and at the Congress of Vienna was never tired of singing the praise of his Hebrew agent to all the Princes of Europe. The dwellers under the igq of the Red Shield laughed in their sleeves; keep ing carefully to themselves the. great fact that the electoral two millions florins bad brought them four millions of their own Never was honesty a better polioy. 31ayer Anselm died in 1812, without having the supreme satisfaction of hearing his honesty extolled by kings and princes. He l.ft five sqns, who succeeded him in the- banking and money lending business, and who, conscious of their social value, dropped the name of Anselm, and adopting the higher sounding one of Rothschild, taken from the sign-board of the paternal house. On his death bed their father had taken a solemn oath from all of them to hold his four millions-well to gether, and they have faithfully kept the injunc tion. But the old city of Frankfort clearly was too narrow a realm for the fruitful sowing of four millions; and, in consequence, the five were' deter mined after a while to extend their sphere of ope rations by establishing branch banks at the chief cities of Europe. The eldest son, Anselm, born 1773, remained at Frankfort; the second, Solomon, born in 1774, settled at Vienna; the third, Na than, born in 1777, went to London; the fourth, jCharles, the infant terrible of the family, establish ed himself in the soft climate of Naples; and the fifth and youngest, James, born 1792, took up his residence at Paris. . . Strictly united, the wealth and power of the five Rothschilds was vested in the eldest born; nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sons of 31 aver Anselm, and the heir of his genius, Nathan, tne third son, soon took the reigns of. government into his own hands. By his faith in Wellington and the flesh and muscle of British soldiers, he nearly doubled the fortune of the family, gaining more than a million sterling by the sole battle of Water loo, the news of which he carried to England two days earlier than the mail. The weight of the solid millions gradually transi'erred the ascendancy in the family from Germany to England, making London the metropolis of the reigning dynasty of Rothschild. Like the royal families of Europe, the members of the house of Rothschild only ia ter marry with each other. James Rothschild married the daughter of his brother Solomon; bis son Edmond, heir apparent of the Freoch line, was united to his first cousin, the daughter of Lio nel, and grand-daughter of Nathau Rothschild; and Lionel again member of Parliament for Lou don gave his had in 1836 to his first cousin Charlotte, the daughter of Charles Rothacliild, of Naples. it is unnecessary to state that, though these matrimonial alliances have kept the millions won derfully togetherthey have not improved the race of old 5layer Anselm, of tfie Red Shield. Already signs of physical weakness are becoming visible in the great family. So at least hint the French pa pers in their meagre notices about the Rothschild Coogress at Paris. From all that can be gathered out of the wilderness of canards, thin faces and thick fiction; it appears that the sovereignsof the Stock Exchange met in conference for tba donble purpose of centralizing their money power and widening their matrimonial realm. In other words, the five reigning kings, descendants, .according to the law of primogeniture, of the five sons of Mayer Anselm, came to the decision to reduce their num ber, to four, by cutting off the Neapolitan branch of Charles Rothschild, while it was likewise de cided that permission should be given to the youngest members of the family to marry, for the benefit of the race, bejond the range of first eous inship. . What has led to the exclusion of the Neapolitan line of Rothschild seems to have - been the constant exercise of a highly bktneable liber ality, unheard of in the annals of the family. Charles, the prodigal son of Mayer Anselm, actu ally presented, in the year 1846, ten thousand da cats to the Orphan Asylum of St. Carlo at Naples, and the son and heir of Charles, Gustavua, baa given repeated signs of his inclination to follow in the footsteps of his father. Such conduct, utterly unbecoming of the policy of the house of Roths child, could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, and accordingly we quote the rumor of Paris iournal ism the dtchehance of the Neapolitan line has been pronounced. However, Baron Gnstavxts de Rothschild is not to retire into private life, like the famous Charles V, with only a cassock on his sbculders and a prayer book in his hand, but if allowed, to take with him a small fortune of 450,- 000 .COO fraaes. or about aix mill! mere crwnn iron tbe table of the descendants of the poor Waver Anselm, who wandered shoeless through the Electorate of the pood King George III. It is certain that co romance of royalty is, tqual to the romance of the house of Rothschild. London Globe. ' G-2fXXlA BBAQQ. The Hon. Wm. G. Swan n,me ruber of Congress from Tennessee, has written a lettet In regard to Gen. Bragg, which we find in the Richmond En qnlrer. Mr. 8wana shows that great Injustice has been done Gen.

Johnston, whom you have indicated as a proper officer to command this army, I happen to know, has more than once said he would decline to direct its move ments and operations, alwavM conceding to General Bragg the highest qualities of generalship, and not hesitating to say, to be publicly repeated, that the achievement of his army at 31 urfreesboro' was 'without a parallel in history " Of Gen. Bragg's character, 3Ir Swann says : "Little has been said of Gen. rajrs habits and qualities which so endear him to his men that those who hare served with him longest lov bitn most, and that all, beholding him passing his lines,' salute him with an enthusisstio cheer. Though rigidly and sternly inflexible in the exsction of tbe strictest conformity to soldierly doty, he is kiod, charitable, upright and devout as a christian, strict- ly temperate, tireless in industry (often at his desk before day-dawn), sleepless in vigilance, and so de- Vntj( tO him t TYVn T that V i r-r -..

A correspondent of tbe Maeoo (Oa ) Telegraph narrates a conversation he had with two officers of Rosecrans's army before the battle of Chickaioauga. One of them, Geo. Lytle, a Democrat, whilst dis claiming all sympathy with Abolitionism, said: "This foolish, and wicked, and unjustifiable rebel lion must and shall be put down at whatever costi and then, when our army has reached the heart of .L-L-t ! 1- l.t me rcucjuoo ana uispersea tne re Dei army, L am for the Union as it was.' The other. Col. Harri son, in replj to the questions, "Well, what sort of a Union rril you have? did you ever know a grown-up white man whipped into union and love r u t . i wi.u uu caenjfi womu notsucu a union ooiy oreea rebellion."" promptly said: "If they are still rebel lions we will kill them' "And msy you not ex pect their sons will avenge their death?" "Wo will kill them, too," said Col. Harrison, "and re place them with loyal Africans." These two men represent tbe sentiments of the two parties of the North. Wherein they differ practically we are at loss to nerceive. Tha ona la 'an unmitigated brute in his manners as well as sentiments; the other, when he savs in civilized' language "the rebellion must and shall be put' down at what ever cost, means the same thing, i Continue the rebellion and ha annihilated, ia Anna!. i ly the determination of both. What become of Col. Harrison wo do not know. Gen. Lytle was killed, we believe, In the battle of Chickamanga.

Tbty wero united in tbe beginning, but the Union of their parties and their arms has not restored the . Union of the States. We look not to their dissensions, but to the providence which has hitherto confounded their devices in the most extrsordinary manner, and which never yet deserted a righteous tans. CoL Harrison's bloody menace, uttered in. the truo spirit and appropriate language of. his party, ha no terrors for the Southern people.

It is some consolation to be informed that Col. Harrison proposes to replace our slaughtered people with "loyal Africans." None buf'Africans'' could be "loval" to aneh ninnnters. and even thev onlrl be more desirable inbabitors of the soil than Black Republicans. They are superior in all humane i and social Qualities to brutes like x Harrison, and, if we must leave tbe earth, we would prefer either! them or the wild beasts of the forest as our stleces-j "rs. to the more savage and .(Jemoniao Invaders.
