No intimation has yet been given out from Washington, we believe, that they are to he retained in sor- vicohy virtue of tLc conscription act of the lust tension of the Yankee Consrens. If . , 3 mi u they aro so retaine i, then there will be three hundred thousand dissatihfied sol- trier in the army, sullen, mutinous; and ready to desert or revolt whenever occu- ion iiiuy offer. If they aro not so retained, then the army of Lincoln, already impo tei.t lor the lak aasigncd it. will be len- dered still more incapable by this heavy reduction.

Bounding through the busy street, Rangifig cellar, shed and ball. Never count the moments lest. Never mind the time it eests Little feet will go astray, Guide them, Mother, while yeu may. Mother! watch the little hand Picking berries by tbe way, Making house in the sand, Toeaing ap the fragrant hay. Never dare the quest! ask., "Why to me. this weary task!" These same little hands may prove Messengers of light and love. Mother! watoh th little tongue Prattling frequently and wild, What is said and what is sung, By the happy joyous child. Catch the word while yet unspoken, Stop the vew before 'tis broken ; This same to ague may yet proclaim Blessings in a Saviour's name. . Mother! watch the little heart Besting soft and warm for you ; Wholefome lemons now impart ; -Keep, O keep the young heart true. Extricating every weed. Sowing good and precious seed, Harvest rich you then may see, Ripening for eternity. Correspondence ef the Patriot. Camp Co. A, 6th N. C. Troops, Near Fredericksburg, April 5th, 1863. Messrs Elitors : I hnoyou will excuse me tor intruding 'his cnpt upon your in dulging patience. But I feel as though it would be sorno relief to me as an old soldier to renew my acquaintance with h journal vhich in by go.io days, I sustained Kuch intimate relation. Although sincu 1 used io sit hy tho ch rful fiV of my once happy home, eagerly scanning your columns the din ol a bloody war has resounded, yet. n.-ni.nds, and is Hkely toennii :no r aouml i ju t a- 1 -rig as , ho helhorenti cai find ueans lo carry it o i. T-a-o years ao we a ci o a .prospe rous, happy and enterprising people, sin i.vind. ii by every comfort that ngcnui'y N man, or a bountiful nature could supply. But the time at last caujo when our people ground under tbe oppres sion ot an insulting and undignified foe, who boasted of his ab'hty to grind us dowu under tbe iron heel of despotism, and make j UB subservient to the will ot a perfidious tyrant within the sbdrt space of sixty days. ft was ai this ever memorable juncture that peace and happiness were dispelled from the thrones of their Southern idoliaore and such men as Leo, Lopgstreet, Jaokson, Beauregard, 11 ill and a host of others 'ushed forth to meet the serried columns of the foe, who was marching to invade our soil, wrench from us our sacred rights and institutions, lay our beloved land in solita ry waste, and leave us homeless and penny leso. It was at this striking period of our j nations history that every sword was drawn from its scabbard, and the patriotic sons of the South sallied forth as one man to the rescue of a bleeding and opppressed cou.iiry, swearing by tho blood of tbeir chivalric ancestors to die rather than sub. mil to be overrun by an ambitious tyrant, and nobly have they kept tbeir vow as will be seen by relorring to the many hard lougut and gloriously woo battles in whiek tney have distinguished themselves by their illustrious deeds and daring achieve ments. luiotnet4 still prevails along the oiks ot:h-j ltappahannock, though il is i.-onjectured by many that we will shortly havo our hand-' fulls of warm and bloody '.vork.
