Nerth Carolina, with an unanimity unparalleled in the his
tory of our Kate, to as ume the powers of h'ef Mhirate
in the midst of revolution and war, I can but feel oppressed
by a seuse of Uie grat weight of responsibility which the

path of my dntv mu-t lead through anything butphasant

c l'fiderica. 1 can premie onl" that I bring a wl and de
!cfiiniti,n to ihe pifoimance of my rn ies which no one
can surpass.
ft iiov -citizens, we have but the oo great and all-ab-so
bhiji thnu . The war which we are fightina fir our
Lbert es ard ind-per dfii ce. is indeed the o whkhrecfi 8
our every htreim of thought. How it waspioiiue d, wheth
er ir. c old eafely Lave been avoided, anrt op 'O whos shoul
ders resia ti e bjiiie. it were wore than idl no'oto'n
quire. At the proper tim it was discussed, and ev?rv
argAieo;, pro and con, was given to tf.e peoole. r-nffie it
u say, ihat it was forced npO!i us by a dominant and en
croaching mjjoriy , and is evidettly but the pent up tire of
fiaatical hatred which hnvebeeu atcu u'ating in the Nor
for forty year?. 1 he government of tho United Mates wa-i
ft great cL-n.'cde' ation of independent community 8. he-d to
gether by a written cod pact called the constitution. Of
this instrument the very life and soul was the great axiom
that ail governments derive their jnst powers from tie
consent of the governed " To this the ancestors of those
who now are sLedding cur blood, together with yonr fore
fathers, aeenfd on the 4ih oT July, 1776, and the instru
ment in which they et it forth and pledged " their Uvea,
their foitues and their sacred honors" to maintain it, his
rendered their names immortal.
When Abraham Lincoln was elected by tha votes of the
North only, embracing among his supporters all of the fierce
and fanatical enemies of slavery on the continent, several of
these independent Stores wbich were slave-holding, refused
tt'eir " consent " to an administration which threatened to
destroy them. We, in North Carolina, after fair debate, re
solved to wait and see, and to trust yet awhile longer to
the safeguards of the Constitu'ion. In the mejntime, we
implored the North to offer no violence, but to allow the
people to resist secession by the only constitutional means
given them diacusfcion and puMic opinion. Many Southern
States followed our example. While thuB honeetiy engaged,
the nlaek was thrown oil, and our souls were sickened with
a proclamation from the President, calling for 75,000 men
to slaughter our Southern States into a " consent." A pro
portionate shtre of these troops was demanded of North
Carolina, who were thus required, in defiitee of the first
principles of liberty, to step across the State line, and,
hand in hand with the scum of Northern cities and the
refuse of degradation, to cut the throats of our kindred and
friends.
Then, and not till then, did controversy cease in North
Carolina. Her boes and her daughteis, of all shades of po
litical opinion, from the mountain tops to the everlasting
tides of the sea, shocked by he monstrous proposition,
with a wondrous unanimity, came forward to resiBt the des
potic step. The delegates of her people in convention as
sembled, without one dissenting voide, ordained onr sepa
ration from a government which had Ihu9 at one blow eub
verted the chief ends of its creation ; and even before this
thousands of our citizens had seized their arms and were
rushing to the border to make good the patriotic resolve. -
Ihis ib a bnet History or our separation irnm tne govern
ment of the United States. It was not a whim or sudden
freak, but the deliberate judgment of our people. Any
other course would have involved the deepest degradation,
the vilest dishonor, and the direst calamity. We awb ac
cepted with the act all of its inevitable consequences, a
long and bloody war. We were not deceived either by the
idea of " peaceable separation," or by vain and unmanly
hopes of foreign protection. We were wide awake to all
the results, and gallantly, gloriously aava cur people met
them.
For seventeen months has this unequal war progressed;
the m iny acainst the lew, the powerful against the weak ;
and yet army alter army, as tne sands of the sea in num
bers, led by vaunted Napoleons, and armed from tbe work
shops of Europe, have been hurled back from our Capital
with slaughter and disgrace, by.troopB, m many cases, rag
ged, bare ooted, ac d armed with the condemned muskets
of the-old government! According to their own reports
600,000 so diers swarmed into our borders, desperate with
fanaticism and lust-fired by confiscation laws; where are
they new ? How have we beaten them back? SkiLful
General and brave soldiers have undoubtedly loucnt oui
battles, but can we not recognize too the special favour of
Heaven in our great deliverence? Ine bub nas indeed
burned wih fire, but i not consumed, because of "the pres
ence ot tne L'Virg Uoa.
florin tjaroiina nas sent term near &u,iuu men, and can
send many morj. re there any among U3 who faint or
despair? Oh, my countrymen ! have we any in our midst
who till look back to'the fleshpots of vassalage, aud for
the sake ot pe::ce, would leave hir ' Lildien a heritage ot
fhame, to feed upon the bitter hus-ks of Bnbjagation ? If
there yet a man in tho gallant historic State of North Ca -o'ina,
so imbedded in political dogmas as to be nnmindful
of the claim of his country as not to hear the great blows
which are fchakiug the continent, for him acd his children?
if so, let me b g of b m to jadge of the lace that awaits u.

Cocsrress, in April last paed an act of Conscription
wheieby vil able-booied men, with certain exceptions, ha
iwten the aea ot eighteen and thirty five eis, are en
rolled for military tiuty. Many ot you thought it ha hh aui
uuCuiis.itntional ; it rfi.s harut-, and moy have teeu neon
6titu"vionil. thoi gh many of our ablest staifcer-en thought
not. To (top no to argue It could only produce ilie great
eft misch'ef, for the reason that it has already been execut
ed upon at 1- aat four-fiitha of those subject to it. However
o1 j?ctiouable in its conception, letu, at hast, be j ut and
Impartial in its execution, but 1 am sure that if every man
who has hi& cuuuiiy s good at heart, but knew of the neces
sity which exitted at tae time, he would rendwr it a cLeer
lnl obedience. Within five weeks of the date of its pas
sage, one hundred atd forty seven of our best train? d and
victorious regiments would have been disbanded nd scat
tered to their hemes. Ana una aunng tne very aarKest
days in the history of the War. ForJ Dondson and Nash
ville had fallen ; Gen Halleck, with n overwhelming and
victorious army, followed by a vas? fleet of iron-cla4 boats,
was passing into the very heart of the South ; the great and
magnificently equipped, army of AlcClel'aa was in the act
of springing, as a tiger, upon Richmond, and to make his
success doubly sore, was waiting for this very thing ot dis
banding our regiments ; Roanoke Island and Newbern with
alt tneir dependencies on our coast were n possession oi
the enemy, as was much of Soath Carolina and Georgia,
just imagine the result. The Confederate Government hav
ing failed to provide in time for this emergency, utter rum
was at the door and mustte averted ; the law wa.3 passed,
and the country waB raved. It fell hardest upon the pa
triotic soldiers in the field they bad already served twelve
months, most of them without lurlotghs, and they had look
ed forward and counted the days, slowly revolving as they
seemed, to the time when-they Bhould see home and all that
was dear to them. Sorely were they disappointed, but
how did they behave ? Resist the law, as with arms in their
bind and doubting its constitutionality, they- could have
done ? No, indeed ; they swallowed down their Litter eor
sow, they dismissed all hopes of .seei g their homes and
families, grasped theii muskets and set again their resolute
faces toward the flashing of the guns. God bless them for
it ! An exhibition of purer jiatriotism has not been seen on
the continent, and onr government can sever sufficiently
appreciate it.
I remember with a thrill of pride, the conduct of the gal
lant men I so lately was honored by commanding. They,
too, were discontented, and spoke loudly and bitterly a
L gainst the harshness ot the law. I called them together
and simply laid before them the necessities of their coun
try, and appealed to their patriotism to sustain it ; 1 made
them no promises, held out no hopes ; I even told them that
though they were promised furloughs by the law, they
would not get them ; that there was nothing before them
bat fighting and coffering. They quietly, diepened to their
- . : : v
quarters, and in four hoars tbe regiment was rtorgan'ted
for the war! This will answer for a h'etory of onr whole
army.
If tbey who went rut first, and have seflered and b'ed from
'he beginainfc, could thus submit, oh ! csnr.ot thoe who
have eo far reposed in peace in their protectr d homes, give
the i emainder of their time to their country? Our brave
regiments have had their rauks thinned by death and dis
ease ; will you not all go cheerfully to their help ? They
have struggled for jou, and now you are needed to struggle
with them. Let the law be executed impartially upon all,
rich atd poor, high and low.
. Any proposition for the further increase of our army
sjbould, and under our present prosperous circun;stancea,
might fafely be tieatr-d with more deliberation, and that
method sought out which would be mot acceptable to the
people. Then let thereof cs who lemain at home, bend
eery eLerpy to ti e lask of clothing acd feeding r ur defen
ders ia the Be d, and .providing for their wives and children.
They h-'u!d cons iiute our first care. All the fruits of the
efrtb shoo d be sav! d most carefully; retrenchment and
reform s! on d bf g:n in rur households, and txtead to eve
nt hine public aid private. Now ia tbe time for an imita
tion of that heroic se'f denial by which our mothers of the
first revolution rendfcred tbir ttmea worthy of a bright
place in bistort, and I doubt n't we hall see examples in
North Can l'ta that wi 1 put cur boasted manhood to shame.
Fel'ow fitizens, there are also dargers which beset m,

your hands, teiiow-.:tizeij8, ia the great t sk which you
hvire set before me, as I shall render it moit cheerfu'ly to
those by whom it is expected cf me. Without it, I shall be
utterly powerless. Yet that slavish subserviency to those
in power, which injures both giver and recipieot, is to be
avoided and despised. 1 shall need trr.e friends, manly
friends who will both warn and censure, a well as praise
when it is due, and with such shall find my labors lightened,
an1 the path of duty less d fflcuit.
We have every reason to believe that the great heart of
the people of North Carolina is deep'y devoted to this
struggle. None in the Confederacy have made greater sac
rifices to maintain it, aud I am convinced their patriotism
will not tail. Our intrcp d and heroic 8o'diersn our sister
States, though praised with a prudging spirit and often
overlooker or quite slandered, have y et borne our stand
ards with undying glory in the f'ont ot every charge, and
death has spread to least t which they have not sat down
by hundreds The spirP of our gloiious women has exceed
ed, if possible, the gallantry of our soldiers ia the field
Gag laws, test oaths, an- seditious ordinances hive, thank
God, been uncalled for ; aud mob violence, that danjerous
offspring of revolution, has been equally repressed by Ihe
conservatism of our people. To continue this happy and
commendable state ot things," let all good citizens exert
themselves.
Fellow-citizens, the future depends on oarrelves. Tie
skies are radiant with the signs of promise, if we do but
hold faithful to the great work we have und?rtaken. Our
victorious Generals are everywhere driving our enemies be
fore them and the vast armies which invaded us at the
beginning of the year, have melted av like frost before
the steady valor of our troops, until t . hundred thousand
men are called for to replace them. Let them come too,
and fear them not, with ehot, shell and bayonet, a free
people will welcome them to the bloody graves of their pre
decessors. The womb of the future, I am confident- holds
for us a bright and gloiious destiny. The boundaries ol
our young Republ c, as we hope to see them established,
embrace the fairest and noblest portions of the temperate
zone. Innumerable miles of great inluiut navigable waters;
a mighty sweep of sea ccast indected with magnificent
bays and harbors ; the unrivalled production of the leading
co nreercial staple of the earth as a basis of public credit ;
a 3oil adopted to thii successful cultivation of almost every
article necessary to the comfort aEd convenience of man,
embraced in an area of 050,000 pqaare m'les ; abounding
with mateiials lor a groat navy, comrercial an warlike;
insxhanstible mines of iron, copper, coal, nd all the valu
able meals ; unbounded facilities for building up great
manufactories on the streams of our mountains ; abravo.
intelligent and virtuous population numbering eight mil
lions, with near four million s'avts, a source of wealth in
calculable ; these constitute the unmistakab'e elements of
a great nation. Beholding them, to what splendid visious
do they not give rise, when peace, blessad peace and in
dependence, shall have been won ! Oh, my countrymen,
let us resolve this day that they shall be won ; that North
warolina, at least, thall not fail in the performance of her
pay t ; that the streams of precions b;ood with which our
glorious sons have consecrated their names to ir -mortality,
suatl not be a am and unaccepted saciiucc, but through
the valor and determination cf those who survive, th-y
shall be rendered efficacious to the alvaiion of the nation ;
and with hearts strong lor the rcishty task, and purposes
united, we will give or our fubstance give ot our hlood ;
we will toil aid struggle, tre will sufier and eniure,
through all the dreary watches of tho nicht, until the
day star cf independence, fla&hirg through ihe darkness in
the east, shall fill the whole earth with his beams.

Talk about Recognizing the Souitoni toi;lviltraf y.
There can be but little doubt that, sooner or later,
the Southern Confederacy will be admitted into the
lami'y of nations. After a tediously protracted war
if eighteen month?, the-Federal Government has lail
d in making the slightest impression on their rv solute
opponents It is not unreasonable to presume that
veD bhould the war be proceeded with another year
ai;d a half, tbe result at ibeeud at the time would not
be d H rent. We have had now a fair opportuaity of
tstime-tiDj; tbe qualities and the calibre of bell bellig-
een s
'1 hose who derive their idJi'S of strength horn
awgDitu.de wee .ot t-iow
to C'.iiicLuJe that the North
a.io.st ot necessity prove victorious. And in tru.u, the
vantages possessed by the tstablis-h-.-d Government t
ttit commencement of the coolest were, to all. appear
sncee, owrpowermg. The FedeMi States iD-ereit u4oc
;.he war entirely iree from debt, aud with resources ut
Uie'r command lor tbe pn ductiun of wealth which were
realiy 6tupeuducu3. They pose?sed a poweiful ridvy,
and though not Paving at tlu-ir disposal a standing
iroiy, bad at all even's, in aLrunda. cj, the ma' - riais cat
ol -Abie!:! it coul-J be spediiy cmtte-d. Tbey enjoyed the
exclusive command of ibe. ocean, nr.d law notlne slight
est; danger to apprehend io the prosecution ol thvir
iracJe. With tbe who!? world open to them, they fjund
thtmseives speeddy supplied with every engine' of mo
dern warfare wbicb science ha3 of late called into exis
tence, liesidta all this, they embarked in their enter
prise with all the prestige which infaribly attaches it
self to the established order of things. Such were the cir
cumstances URder which the iNortn addressed iiseit to
tbe task of crushing t'je so called rebellion ; cor is it
possible to lose sight ot them in estimating the proba
bilities of carrying to a successful issue a war which, in
it3 present stage, txoibits tbe combatants stand-ng to
wards each other in relations so different ;rom those
which tbey occupied when tbe war bfgan.
It would hare been impossible for any nation tovbe
compelled to struggle for its independence under cir
cumstances more disadvantageous than those under
which the States seceded from the Union endeavored to
establish their claims to a separation from a govern
ment. Numerically, the population of the South stood
to that of the North io tbe relation cf one to five. Of
tbe material of war the Southerners were entirely des
titute. No sooner bad the standard of independence
been raised than every port in a large sea-board wa i at
once sealed. VV ith such uucitions oi war as they then
possessed, they foefhd themselves obliged not ouly to
eommence, but to sustain what tbey well knew would
be a protracted conflict. Of ships ol war, with one or
two exceptions, they possessed none. Their trade was
entirely annihilated. Instead ol the prestige with which
their Northern opponents entered on tbe war, they found
themsslves held up to the execration of the civil zsd
world. To foreign States tbey were represented by the
Federal Government as rebels, while-fanaticism stigma
tized them as slave-owners. " Numbering in all little
more than eight millions, they found themselves at tbe
ame time obliged to cope with the Northern States,
and to retain in aabjection, within their own territory,
a population half es numerous as their own. Under
disadvantages eo great as these did tbe Southern Con
federacy flight tbe battles of independence.
It is impossible to compare the present position of
the Federal States, with that, held by them at the be
ginning of the war. without being irresistibly impress
ed with the utttr hopelessness of their attempt to sab
jugate the South. The South has suffered much ; it
has also collected a debt ; bet as nothing by it can be
regarded as worse than defeat, it will be enabled ulti
mately, should it succeed in establishing its independ
ence, to regard with greater equanimity tbe burdens
which this war may impose. To us it eeem? impossi
ble that tb North, in its present crippled 6ate, can
tffect an object which it has hitherto shown itself un
able to accomplish.
The question when tbe South ought to be regarded
having established a right to demand recognition still
remains open for consideration. Until tbe ciose of the
present campaign it had certainly failed to satisfy the
world of its abiiity to maintain its independence. Had
the result of the recent engagements in the vicinity of
Richmond proved different, the Confederate capital
would, in all probability, have fallen. Now, however
whin, to all appearances, Ihe North is compelled to de
sist from active operations for some months, it would
ctr ainly sevm that tbe c nims of the S-.ut.ii to recogni
tion Jeter ve the & rious consideration ot ioreigo govern
ments. Another signal victory on the part ot tbe Con
federates mty possioly dtcide the Cabirefs of England
arid France on the course tbey will ad- pt.
The- Knuny'a L.-.M Iu the I at-.- 'prrtIoris.
The enemy admits a I b- down to Friday night, of
17,000 men, P pe fScaily stating his loss on that day
to have been 8,000. In m e ot ihe Baltimore papi rs it
is said that the e.itire Yankee loss, incluoirg that ot
Saturday , is 32 010 men killed, wound d al prison
ers. This staiem-nt allows 15 000 h,r tbe ! sa on rfat
tuday. '! hat the loss on that pnrtii uiar d iy was vastly
greater than the enemy ndn;it, we take to be certain.
hey are Dot the prsom to overestimate their own loss -s,
aud, in tbe meantime, Gen. Lee tells r.s that over 7,000
of them were taken and paroled on the field It they
fought the battle with anything like the desperation
they pre'end, considering that it lasted five hjnrs, they
certaioly' had more than 8,000 killed arid wouaded.
Thz letter of Dr. Coleridge 'a conclusive upon this point.
He says that four days after tbe battle -there were still
three thousand wounded Yankees, uncared for, within
the lines of Gen. L?e. It is very certain, if ttey were not
cared tor, it was because the number of wounded was so
great that their turn had not come. Our own woaoded,
not exceeding.it is said, 3,600, could very well be attended
to in a day, and then the torn of the Yankees would
come. Yet so numerous were they, that at the end of
four (Jays three thousand of them had not received sur
gical assistanr-e. 'I bis indicates an enormous list of
wound'. d, and confirms tbe report of one officer, who
puts rown their killed at 5,000. and their wounded at
three timr? that figure, making 20 000 killed and wound
ed, ond of others who say that their killed and wounded
were to us m the proportion of five, six, and even seven
to one. As in my prisoners were taken, who were not
included in the 7,000 paroled men mentioned by Gene
ral .Lee, we do not think -we make an over-estimate
when we' set down ihe whole Yankee less at 30.000 in
round numbers. Their loss on Friday, estimated by
Pope himsel at 8 000, added to their loss on Saturday,
makes 38,000. Previous operations, including the
battle of Cedar Run, the several expeditions of Stewart,
and the various skirmishes in which we were almost
uniformly victorious, we should think, would fairly bring
the total loss ot the etemy ;eavmg out of the account
the victory of A. P. Hill on Sunday, of which we have
not tie particular to 50,000 meD, since our forces
first crossed the Rapidan. This is a result almost un
equalled in the history of modern campaigns.
Napoleon describes his mar.ee lvres in the commence
ment of the German campaign of 1809 as the ablest be
ever executed. In one day he broke through the cen
tre.of he Austrian army, which was scattered over i
vast extrnt of country; and placed himself between tbe
two wings. On tbe second, he fell upon the left, which
he almost annihilated at Lacdstreet, seizing its commu
nications and cutting h off from Vienna. Oa the third
he attacked the right, under the Archduks Charles, at
KeLmiehl, ard totally routed it, lorcing it cfl upon the
Danube in a lateral direction, exactly like AlcClcllan's
change of base to Westovcr and B-.rkely. On the
fourth, he attacked the rear as it was endeavoring to
pass the Danube at Ratisbon, and annihilated the rear
guard. The result, according to his statement, wa3 a
loss to the eLemy of 50,000 men. We know not
enough of Gen. Lee's strategy to compare it with the
strategy of the French Emperor on that occasion ; but
the results have been equally brilliant and equally indi
cative of the resources ot a great military genma. Day
after day tbe enemy were beateu, until his disasters cal
minated on the Plain of Manassas. Day after day our
ouieers and men manifested the;r superiority to the ene
emy. 1 he sum total is glorious for all parties concern
cc, and most auspicious lor the country. luca. Dis.
I'rom Mirj laiitl.
The Dews from our advancing army in the North
east on y eterday was, necessarily, very limited, no
other established fact being ascertained than that
General Jackson bad passed through Fredripk City
:uarviana. iteports wi re pienii'ui, cs u?uai. it was
stated emphatically by parties coming from Lresburg,
that our army had reached the Relay House, nine mile3
Irom Baltimore, and that, the news reached Baltimore,
a large number of citizens rose in a mass and pitched
into tbe government troops who were engaged in re
moving commissary stores from tbe city slaying and
bruising them misoelaneously with bricks, bullets and
'billies.'
This is a very good item, if true, and indicates the
spirit with which the citizens of Baltimore will eottr
into the struggle when their bands are unshackled and
their will free.

that children who have access to useful papers at home,
are berter readers, and understand what they read
better ; they ob ain a practical knowledge of geography
and hidtory more readily, make better grammarians,
and write better compositions, and, in short, are more
intelligent and learn fester than children brought up in

Children are interested in newspapers, because they

In this I may be mistaken, but my faith is strong ; for if

Yes, gentlemen, such brutal conduct must ca'l down
heaven's vencreance ; and God being for u? as we have
every reason for thinking-who dare be against us ?
I repeat, then, the war cannot last 6 months; but. In the
meantime, you of Wilmington must not be thrown off your

An Important Matter,
We have been anxiously waiting to see what steps
would be taken towards filling up that fomous ditch
cut by the thieving Yankees on the peninsula oppcaite
Vicksburg. TLia is the very nick of time to fill it up, .
that the earth may be settled by the Fall rains. The
Yankees signally tailed the cause the ancient river to
leave his old bed, and occupy the new one they had
prepared. No less a failure was their attempt, by
means of a stern-wheel steamboat rapidly set in motion,
to frighten him out of his sense of propriety into their
new measure ; tbe enraged sire of waters but his long
thumb and fingers to his ancient nose, in that peculiar
attitude which so emphatically says you can't come it,
and moved majestically on in the channel Nature had
made him. We should remember, however, that this
old Father of Waters, like some fathers of daughters,
occasionally gets high and goes off on a bender then
he might fall e7en into a Yankee .ditch, when the whole
South would fail to get him out. Let us then while
we may, so fortify the old gentleman, by filling up and
damning the ditch, that in the evett of bis getting
high, wa can keep him 8traig"ht, and prevent bis fail
ing so low as to lie in a Yankee ditch, a disgrace bo foul
that hi3 descendants in all the future would be unable
to wash out. Besides, the commercial . advantage cf
Vicksburg mainly depend upon keeping oar old friend
close to our doors ; his alienation would deal U3 a worse
blow than is in the power of the whole Yankee nation
to inflict. Hence, while we watchfully guard against
our vandal foe, we should as earnestly endeavor to keep
our generous friend.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thus explains the condition
of affairs in Kentucky and Tennessee :
The number of the enemy on the Eouth side of Cum
berland Gap is oompnted to be 75,000 in command of
Generals Floyd and Kirby Smith, while at Chattanoo
ga there is a reserve of 30,000 under Gen. Bragg, to
bold in check Gen. Buell, who is marcliing up with his
entire division to coniront Geo. Bragg, who is believed
to be moving toward Kentucky or for Nashville. Buell
and his army passed through Dc-cherd, forty milds north
west of Chattanooga, on Saturday,' aud on Monday
was within teu miles of the enemy.
As comnmuioation with Nashville ia cut off by rail
road and the river, and the troops around Nashville are
subsisting e n naif rations, tLe transportation of supplies
to UueH's f jrcej will cause considerable anxiety, u3
hitherto they were forwarded via Memphis, 'l'he indi
cations are that an imm-diate engagement will take
place between Buell and Bragg, and the forces on the
other side of the Gap and Gt--n. G. W. Morjmo. Scott's
army, in fiml of tho Gap, is being reiolorced; but Gen.
Wright, who is in Frankfort, controlling iu person all

To Mr. T. W. Brook3, who ia just from Middle Ten-
nessee, we are indebted lor late intelligence Irom that
section: lie informs cs tbat Col. W oodward, of the
Kentucky cavalry, whose headquarters are at Clarks-
viiie, recently attacked Fort DoDt'son, with a force of
300. The Federal force, consisting of 200 infantrv and
500 cavalry, at first repulsed Woodward's force, who
fell back to tbe Cumberland Iron Works. 1 he t eder
al forces pursued and were here drawn- into an ambus
cade by Woodward, who after a brief engagement, com
pletely routed them, and driving them dbck captured
Fort Donelson. The fiuit of his victory was a large
quantity of -arms captured, and several pieces of artil
lery, auu which Col. vvooxjwttiu uivugm uu eaie to
Carksvilie. ' v
Mr. Brooks reports th th3 Federals are busily en
gaged in fortifying Nashville, patting Eeige guns iu po
sition upon ihe neighboring hills, felling tha trees, and
barricading the streets. This cinflicts with the rumor
we bad a tew days ago that tbey were evacuating Nash

The latest New York papers arc full of appeals to
tbe Irish and Germans, and of fraternal professions of
regard and admiration for the emigrants and adopted
citizens of these stocks, who are eagerly expected hy
the native Yankees to do all the fightiDg in return for
this marvellous condescension from a class and tribe,
that four years ago were .for excluding all foreigners
from citizenBhip. " ; . . -
