A BRIGHT PAGE IN OUR HISTORY. ; - ; - -. . . (When the present bloody struggle shall have ceased, and 8outiiern Independence shall have been established, there is one page pt history to be written, , which' will reflect groat credit upon President Davis, and through hm upon he whole .Confederacy.. I That . page, says the "Soldier's Friend" will read about as follow: 7i- ' . - " Though the Federal Government issued many brutal proclamations outraging civilization and humanity ; thocgh the ; Abolition Government acted with sufficient barbarity to justify the South ern Government in raising the black flag; yet President Davis never uttered one extreme senti ment ; never displayed any animusitv in any of his proclamations ; was exceedingly slow to inau gurate an? measures of retaliation; and,- when such measures were imperiously demanded they were always moderate : showing that they eman ated from a man who much regretted the toeceo- sity of adopting such means of protection. The cool, dispassionate style of his rctaliative procla maUons aoescredit to hiThead : the spirit of mod eration in which they were dictated, reflects hon or on his heart. How proud will we all be that our President was not rash, vindictive man ; that he was a man, who, though the waters were strangely muddy and boisterous, steered our fragile, though precious bark, with composure and dignity into the harbor of peace. Mississtppian. ' . Camp Anecdote. A correspondent of -the Eutaw Whfg and Observer, writes thus from Fredericksburg: A yonog, stout, hale, hearty young man in a S. C. regiment, went to Gen. Lee a few days ago, for the purpose of getting a furlough, when the following amusing incident took placo : : -; Gen. Lee. Sir, do you know tho position of a soldier? . : ? . ; . ' - Soldier. (Saluting the General) I do, sir. Gen. Lee. Assume the position of a soldier. I want to see if you can execute two or tree ordere, as I give Uiem. r Soldier. (Squaring' himself,, facing the General, putting his heels together.)' I am in the position of a soldier now, sir. : Gen. Lee (Viewing him closely and scru tinizing his position) said : " About face, for ward, march I" and never said halt.) ' ; ; . The following amusing incident took place, in tho 5th Alabama regiment, I am told, with a lately-enrolled consenpt and GenrRhoderi . "The General was riding around his brigade,"and came up with the conscript, who had taken his gun in pieces for the purpose of cleaning and rubbing it up. : '-. Gen. Rhodes. " What are you doing, sir ? What are you, anyhow 7" Conscript. " I am a sort of sentinel. What are you, anyhow V - . . Gen. Rhodes. " I am a sort of General." Conscript u Well. General is yoa will hold ont 1 will snow, or give you. n son. 01 bbiumj. Gen. Rhodes. u Well, sir, you hold on a while, and I will show you a sort of guard house." The last wu heard of the conscript, General Rhodes had him in the guard house at his head quarters, bucked and gagged. v V MississiPPI.lt has been stated that the con script law' had not been enforced in 'Mississippi. We find in the Richmond Enquirer a correspon dence fcetween the Hon. Thos. D. MoDowell, member of Congress from Nprth Carolina,and the" Hon. E. Barksdale, member of Congress Trom Misssissippij in regard to the matter. Mr. McDowell asks MrBarksdale of it is true that the law has not been enforced in Mississippi. Mr Barksdale replies that up to a( certain date no steps had been taken to enforce the law be; cause order to enrol haTnotreached the officer charged wh that duty iCmiscarried but as 8oonas the order was received; the enrollment was proceeded with' strictly, and the. Legislature of Mississippi passed a law to bring into military service those who were exempted by the Confed erate law, thus showing that Mississippi has done her duty in placiog all her available men in the service. The correspondence between Messrs. McDowell and Barksdale is dated January 31, JtSftk W&tfiW peyiocrai, : '. - r w - Complaints at Camp XXolxacs. We have received a letter' from soldier at Camp Holmes (says the Raleigh Progress of, the 9 th) making a series of complaints about things in general and about the matter of pay in particu lar. The writer, complains about beef furjiishecTi the men-not th'quantity iui the quaiity. This we suppose can hardly be remedied, for we in town can get no beef at ail, good or jad, for it don't come to market. The Soldiers will be fed. we hope, with-such as the country affords, as long as there is "any thing to feed themwith. He complains too " about salt. JSalt is scarce, but We hope the Gov ernment will be able to procure enough to supply the wants of our army; ' ) " ; ' " , . Soldiering is aU hardship privation, danger and suffering and many are disposed to complain when all Is done for them that can be. The wri ter too complains about shoes, and says that some oltheLmenatthe Camp are without shoes. We regret" this but can'assure him that there are many out of the army equally as bad off. The Government, however, has almost a monopoly in ' the leather business and we hope all the soldiers will be shod. The Quartermaster here, Msj. Pierce, we knowls is doing all he; can in having 6hoes manufactured, , and-is furnishing a great many to the ' army.-. It' may be,' however, that the supply is unequal to the demand. Another cause of complaint i tiiat boys have been placed oyer the men at Camp 'Holmes as officers. We know nothing about this, but we do know; that a great many youths as well as men of mature years hold commissions in the army that ought to be in the ranks ; we are not prepared however to pass judgment upon any officer at Camp Holmes. : ' " There bone cause of complaint, however, in . which we take sides with the men, and shall not drop the subject until the matter is attended to. We allude to their pay. . If they have been six -months in service and receivedno pay there is fault somewhere, and those whose duty it is to' attend to this should, do it immediately. The . Government is making millions of money it is only a" question of blank paper and printera-ink7 and the private soldier ought to be?paid and must be paid. .These men cannot go, one at avtime to the Quartermaster, and demand their pay, but the officers whose duty it is too look after their welfare can draw the money and pay it to them -if they will, and they ought to do it. Vtby is it that six months pay is now due the men at Camp Holmes ? A Valtjable Papeh. The farmers of the South who negleot to patronize , the Southern Cultivator'ipubUshed at Augusta, Ga.,, deprive themselves of a great help in their agricultural labors. : We would advise all, who either love the farm or the garden to send for this valuable: pa perT Those who regard this notice, are requested to see the Vukivator1 advertisement in another column of this papier. Edward Stanly has resigned his' Governorship over North Carolina. . The attedged fcuse is his opposition to the Emancipation Proclamation of Lincoln! This fact if .true, is significant, and shows, that the old coasters are making tracks for a harbor before the storm of revolution overtakes them. S fafe Journal. . . , " : )' ' FROM KENTUCKY.
