Wb had the pleasure? Tuesday, of shaking bandB with Col. E. D. Hall, on a brief visit home from the army of Northern Virginia. We did not have the opportunity of any lengthened conversation with him, but we 6hoold jadge that neither he nor any other member of that gallant army feels any apprehension of not being able successfully to meet and drive back any force that can advance upon them under Mbade, or any other man. It ia a fact that of all the men whom we have seen here on furlough, privates as well as officer! agree in repudiating the inaidiouB idea of re" ocstruction, through submission, which it ia attempted to difluse throughout this 8tate, and we see not a few of our best soldiers either. This is no unimportant fact to be borne in mind by those at home who are uproarious for peace upon ulmcst any terms. Virtually Mexico is subdued. Her capital ia in the hands of the French troops and a large and influential party is devoted to the French icflneuce, alliance, conquest, or whatever it may be caled. The French avow themselves the champions of religion, the friends of the church. The French are Catholics, so are the Mexicans, and of conne there ia much greater chance for a fraternization between the invaders and the invaded than there waa between the latter and the heretical North Americans. For the Mexi cans almost any change most be for the better, bo it only gives a reasonable promise cf perm?nency for the fu ture. Of cciuse, knowing cut the Napoleonic ideas which the present Eispcror attributed to hiB uncle and adopted for himself, France will cot seek to absorb Mexico either as a colony or etherwise, but she will nevertheless dictate its institutions and control its policy quite as much as Rome did that of her allies, and no matter who may occupy the throve oi IIcxxq, should French policy cause it to be erect ed into tr. empire, that s.ne policy will stand behind the Mexican throne, mightier than the throne itself, as inieed waa the ca ie with all the puppets who.a the elder Napo leon elcvatr-1, or ra'hcr degraded to the royal dignity in Naples, licliiikd, Spain, "Wirtemberg or elsewhere. A coterapor aiy, the Petersburg Exrress thinks that some difficulty may uxhe out cf another recognition question. Will I incoln acknowledge the Mexican Empire, and if so, what will Lcccm3 cf the eo-calkd McMtos doctrine? If Lincoln does not acknowledge the Mexican Empire, what will become of the p eaceful relations now existing between NAroLKON III. ar u Abraham 1 1 Ibid rakes a pretty speculative :-uc, bat not a practical one.

For many years after war is oyer we caunct t tl . r J to be aggressive. For ages, all our labor, all oar eacrg es will be needed to repair the ravages of war, aad to develop thee vast inheritance to which this young people will succeed. We will have so much to do at homo tizt ve will hive no tima to look abroad. And this w.ll be t;:e else with any government of whatsoever form, that m y be established in Mexico. The only really aggressive government on the Continent will be that known as the United Elate?, and it will bo well that, in addition to the Confederate Stales, there should be another stable.acd strong government to act ac a counterpoise to, and check upon, thia cv,r. b3ivo U. S. Government. It id not worth oi-v while to speculate upon the influence which Napoleoa'ri u tmonti iq M3xi3.o miy hive ia has tening or delaying recognition. That of course depends upon how far ilia French Emperor might foci that his own interest would be promoted by the adoption of one or the ether couvbo. N-jt that we deny to him the usual share of kindly iee'ltis. Br. what did ice care about Sebastopol, the war ia Liu gr.y or Ita'y, or even the Indian Rebellion?

Whether au Expire in Mexico would do us any hirm is a question that need hard'y be discussed. We are surround ed by, or ccme in daily contact with the sublets of pow erful and prosperous monarchies, without their examples ia any way clbctin.; our principles icjarious'y. if the Mex icans like the thing let them try it. All we can Eay is that we would tLiiik Maximillian, or any other Emperor, far more to bo pit'.c-l thin any of hia eubjact'i. Better live quietly enjwhere elss lt Than reign ia that horrible place." Whether, without a protectorate an empire would be any more stable ia Mexico thin a republic may wedl be doubt ed. The example of Iturbide is certainly cot encouraging to the imperialists. Unsustained by som9 foreign power the virtM .' of Emperor would have no greater power than that cf President, and neither woald amount to much, all Mexican history has shown. We are no censor, and would not be if we could, but we may be permitted to ask if the coursa cf the Raleigh papers, in their intercourse with each oth erif intercourse it can be called ia not rather lowering to themselves, and calculated, in a measure, to reflect something else than credit upon the whole press of the State '! Sarely some other way of get ting along together would be better. We say this in no spirit of iutermcddling or cflicioasaeas, and without any iv mi; uicnis ui mo tjuarrei or quarrels going on. We allude to the mode in which these quarrels are condacted. We can hardly understand how any readers can like such things, bnt we are forced to believe that Borne do like them. It must be unpleasant, we Ehduld think, to all concerned. We have from the ubiishers, G. II. Gobtzel & Co., Mo bile, A Revised System of Cavalry Tactics, for the use of the Cavalry and Mounted Infantry, C. 8. A., by Major Gen eral JobEru Wuebleu, Chief of Cavalry, Army of Tennes see, C. S. A." a neatly printed lGmo. volume of about four hundred pages, illustrated by cuts and diagrams. The hfgh reputation of the author, as a cavalry officer, ia a guarantee for the value of the work to those connected with the branch of the service for whose instruction the work is designed. An alarm cf fire was raised about 12$ o'clock last Satur day night or Sunday morning. It was found to proceed from the burnirg of a email red tenement on the East side of Fifth Street between Princess and Chestnut 8treets The boas was occupied by a colored family, who succeed ed in saving a part cf their furniture. The building was totally consumed. Fortunately there was not a breath of air and the flames rose straight up, and the sparks fell etrigbt down, so that the lire did not spread beyond the tenement in which it originated, its origin was no doubt purely accidental. The property belonged to Mr. L. Vol LB3, and the house could not have been of any great value. It ia pretty certain that the active campaign in Missiasip pi is over for the profaent. Grant could not pursue John ston beyond the Pearl r.ivcr for want of transportutiQn and the diiliculty of obtaining supplies or of keeping up his communications. After doing all the harm he could at Jackson, and laying waste the country in his route he has fallen back to the west of the Big Black. He wiil confine himself to the fortified points on the Mississippi, merely seeding out raidicg parties. Johnston had at the last dates fallen back to Morton, a point on the rai'.road from Jackson to "cridian, thirty-five miles East of Javkson. It is said that the pivot of his operations will be a Enter prise, a point on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, - one hun dred and twenty miles from Mobile, from which position he can move his forces with great rapidity upon aEy assailed point, while ho can sweep and control the ccantry in every direction. Of course with the great transporting power of the Mobile aud Ohio Eailroad at his command, he can throw himself forward for the defence of Mobile long before Gbakt could move upon it either frora rcnsacolaor Pasca goula.

President Datis says that if all who ought to be with our army, only come forth promptly to do do their duty, we will be restor ed to a namerical equality with the enemy, and that in that case, victory cannot be for a moment doubt fni w that the President's proclamation will bfunrsa l Tns corresponpence between M.

We give the only part of wh4 Tos Besses any interest to us, namely, the dispatch of the French Mloiaicrcf Foreiguiflafre, wciwoain Pln,.0lett , j mond." It reads thus : MimsTRT of FoBSiQN Affairs, ) Political Bureau, V Paris, Jane 10ih, 1863. ) Sir : On the 23d of February last His Imperial Majesty's dispatch steamer Renaudin, which bad received the order to touch at Charleston, got aground at Sullivan' Pass, and only succeeded Id escaping from this critical condition by the aid of the Milan, and of the English idoop-ofwar Pe trel. On the happening of the accident the Confederate authbritiea were kind enough to tender to the Captain of the Benaudin the gratuitous use of the floating deck at Charleston ; and he w&a thus enabled to make repairs that were indispensable to the continuanoe of his voyage. . I desire, sir, that you inform the Government at Richmond how sensible we have been of the kind conduct of the au thorities at Charleston, and that yon pray it to transmit to those authorities the expression of our lively tbanks. Receive, sir, the assurance, etc., etc, Dbouyn dx L'Hcys. The accounts from Charleston jail seem to point to re turning confidence in the successful defence of that impor tant point, bo much so indeed, that it is f aid Bbavreoabd has intimated that the women and children whom he had notified to leave the city, may now return, with compara tive safety. We have seen no official announcement to that effect, bat we know from private advices that such is the feeling growing op there, founded, no doubt, upon assuran ces to which great credit is giver. Should thia last despe rate assault upon Charleston, prove, like its predecessors, abortive, it will do much to Inspirit our people not only there but elsewhere, while it must tend greatly lo increase the already high reputation of the commanding general, as well to deepen the already unbounded confidence reposed in him. The steamship Merrimac, from this port to Nassau was captured at sea on the 25 th ult., when about one day out She muet have been chased for a good long way. The Merrimac, with her large and valuable cargo was chit fly owned in Wilmington, and her capture will entail heavy loss upon many of our citizens who had invested in the enterprise to a greater or less extent. No man, no matter how rich, likes to lose his moiey, but still it is a comfort to know that those who have lost most heavily, are those upoa whom the loss will, in reality, fall most lightly. It is a discouraging commencement, but of course where there are large gains there must be heavy risks. The own ers of the Merrimac would have realized heavy prefks had 'heir enterprise succeeded. The wheel of fortune took a unfavorable to their interests, aid bo they lost. We might say "Better luck text time," but we are not so sure of an' other fcirnilar effort being made. Perhaps it may, and per . haps it may not. Blessed are they who have very little, for assuredly they can't lose much. In that category we are proud to cl-sa oarselves. We could not lese much and did not lose any thingnot having any stock. Had we been bursting with mouey, we might indeed have buret out on this transaction- The reprobfttes in New York will rejoice over the Merri mac and her cargo ; and we hate that almost as much as we do her loss, although that is no small matter to our com munity. uch a ship and euch a cargo would have been no small matter at any time. At this time it foots up largely. The news, which waa received here on Saturday evening, of course created no email sensation. 'It appears that the army of Vickaburg which was surren dered by capitulation, but immediately paroled, has receiv ed furlough for thirty days from the 18th ult., the President acceding to their request preferred through General Pem berton, on the ground of their severe privations and lorg absence from their families. No doubt they will, by that time be exchanged, if they are not already exchanged. Mobilb seejas to be the next important poi'.t likely to receive the attentions of the Federals under Grakt, who will not attempt to reach that point from their present base on the Mississippi. The distance is too great, the obstacles too numerous, the country too poor in supplies. Chant, it is said, has returned to the Mississippi, he may tako a force down that river ia transports and operate against Mobile from two points, by landing troops at Pas cagoula, Miss., and Pensacola, Florida, the first being over 40 miles southwest and the other over 60 miles southeast of Mcbile. "he character of the country prevents aBy nearer points from being chosen for an advance by land. The for tifications and obstructions defending or blockading Mobile Eay must be overcome by a sea attack before any landing for military operations against the city, could be made nearer than at the points named. Gbakt is a persevering commander he is essentially a fighter, and will net be apt to stick at small things, but we doubt if even he will dare to attempt an advance through the bwamps of Lower Alabama, or Florida, at this season of the year, lie will be more apt to throw his spere forces on Ecsecrakz's line, deferring hia attack upoa Mobile until the Fail, or at least the advent of coeler weather. A good deal of work has been done at Mobile, and more is in pro gress and nearing completion. Indeed, were we to credit the high wrought pictures of the credalous or enthusiastic, we would be led to regard Mobile as impregnable by sea and land. We know, however, by bitter experience, that an impregnable place is very much like a " reliable gentle man," and meats a place that is bound to be taien. We don't want to hear tl at Mebile is impregnable. We want to know whether or not it can be fully invested. If it can not, then it is safe. If it can, then it can be taken by a party that ia able to maintain its lines tf investment. Want, we believe, in a large city like that, will do all the fighting that an attacking party needs. As long as we hold the Bay, Mo bile cannot be invested. If the enemy can Bubdue or pass the Forts and obstructions, then the case may be diflerent, and probably will be. Delknda est Cabthaoo. Charleston must fall, if men and fifteen inch guns can do it. The Waahirgton authori ties have made this resolve, and they have in Gen. Gilmobb, an able adroit and determined commander ready to carry out their behests. Nothing but men and big guns can cave Charleston. If all the men in South Carolina fit to bear arms should be re quired they ought to go, for if Charleston ia saved so is the whole State of which it is the chief port and representative city. We wonder why the government does not get more heavy guEB from abroad. The government steamers bring' 'in many things, but if they had brought in about two dozen heavy Whitworth or Blakely guns, wifh a full supply or fixed ammunition, they might have done a better thing than almost any they have done. Suppose the Ironsides or'the Monitors had found battery Wagner armed with a few two hundred pound Whitworth'B or Blakely' ? Suppose these guns could be turned against the enemy's Parrott's 'I We think it a pity that we have to fight with inferior metal. We do not know, however, what may yet be accomplished on our side, but we think something more might be. Just look'at the efficiency of a couple of small field Whitworth'B in making the J)lockaders keep their distance from our bar. A communication in the New York Timea states that among the passengera aboard the British steamer Emma, from Wilmington, recently captured by the Arago, waa Arnold Habsis, who, after the flrBt battle at Bull Bun, volunteered to go into the rebel lineB, with one McGbaw, professedly to receive the body of Col. Camhhoh. From the Charleston Courier, 1st inst. From the Islands. An occasional shot waa exchanged between the land batteries Thursday night, until an early hour Friday morning, when the enemy's battery, about half a mile from Wagner, opened a heavy fire upon the later from their Parrott guns, followed by three other batteries in rapid succession. Oar batteries replied, and the can nonading was continued with great spirit on both sides for several hours. The Ironsides and Monitors made no demonstrations. The casualties on our side from the morning's bombardment were reported to be two killed and five wounded. In the afternoon another sharp fire was opened from tha enemy's batteries and contin ued for about two hours, when it ceased. Fort Sumter and the batteries on James' Inland kept up their fire on Morris' Island, and it is believed had the effect of stopping the Yankees a; their works, besides doing some damage among them. A gunboat and a small schooner were alongside the Ironsides yesterday, apparently transferring a Ireeh sup ly of ammunition to the latter. The Monitors remained inactive throughout the day.

The Democracy of New Hampshire held a mass meet ing t Concord, in that State, on the 4th instant, Ex President Pierce presided and made a speech ca the oc casion, seme extracts from which we append : True it is,' that any of you, that I myself, may be the next victim of unconstitutional, arbitrary, irresponsi ble power. But we, nevertheless, are free men, and we resolve to live, or if it must be, to die, cuch. Falter who may, we will rover cease to hold upon highthe Constitution of the Union, though torn to shreds by the sacrilfgions han?s of its enemies. How strikingly ' signiGeact, how suggestive to us, on this occasion, is the contemplation of that august spectacle of the recent Convention at IudiaDapoiis, of seventy-five thousand citizens calmly and bravely participating in the discus sion of the grtat principles underlying their sacred rights as frtemeu neither awed by cannon frowning upon their liberties, nor provoked by threats into re taliatory violence. I would say to you, fellow-citizens, emti!ate that exhibition of wisdom and patriotism. Be. patient, bo resolute. Yield nothing of your rights, but bear arid forbear. L?t.,yrur action show to the wrld that with courage to confront despotism, you have also the discretion to avoid inconsiderate action in resisting its advances. I trust it may be profitable n this occasion, as the call of your meeting suggests, io revive the memories of that "heroic epoch of the republic, even though they come laden with regrets, and bold up that period of our history in contrast with the present. Though they come to remind us of what were our relations during the Revolution, and in later years, prior to 18C1, to that great commonwealth wnicn we were accustom ed to refer to by the name of " the Mother of States men and of States :" and of what those relations now are. Can it be that we are never to think again of the land whue the du3t of Washington and Patrick lien ry.of Jtff.-ruon and Madison repose, with emotions of iiriatitudy. tdmiration, and final regard : is naie ior ! 0 . - - - . .. . . i -m m 7- ! all that Virginia nes taugnt, an teat v irginia nas done. e..d all that Vireiuia now is, to take the place of seniiuif Lt3 wliich we have cherished all our lives? Other nun muy be asked to do this, but it is in vain to apLe;;i to me. So far as my heart is concerned, it is not a subject of volition. No niatt'.r what may have been dene, North or Scu:b, to produce it, this terr ble ordeal of blood which has betn visred upon us ought to be sufficient to bring us all bark to coiisciou r.ess of responsibilities and du ties. The em&tions of all good men are those of sorrow titd El.'tim.:- and-sadness, cow, over the condition of their coiifj .iy, w en they retire at night, aud when they open their eyes u;cn the dawning day, siruggla against them though tley may. Why should they attempt to disguise it ? Solicitude which hinges upon apprehen sion c! personal l.-x-ger cr peisonal loss, and that alone, is conttuipUblH. 1 nflicig men may icdulge in trifling word rid ti.cufht. while the foundations laid by the fa i here tre trbVr.biii g bt neath their feet ; but the ar tificers v. bo laid down those fout datior.s found no time for trifliDg while engaged in their graid and seriou9 work, nor can ycu I hey could lilt up their souls in prayer; but they bad no heart fop levity and mirth. My friends, you have had most cf you have haf great sorrows, overwhelmiig personal sorrows, it may be, brt none like these ; cone like those which come welling np, day by day, from the great foundation of national oisaster, red with the best and bravest blood of the country, North and South red with the blood of those in both sections of the Union whose fathers fctught the common battles of independence. Nor have theae sorrows brough with them any compensation, whether of national pride or of victorious arms. For is it not vain to appeal to ycu to raise a shout of joy because the men from the land of Washington, Marion and Sumter are borirg their breasts to the steel of the met from the land of Warren, Stark and Stockton ; or because, il this war is to continue to be waged, one or the other must go the wall must be consigned to humiliating subjugation ? This fearful, fruitless, fata! civil war l as exhibited our amazing resources and vast military power. It has sbon that uciited, even in carrying out, in its widest interpretation, the Monroe doctrine, on this continent, we could, with such protection us the broad ocean which flows between ourselves and European powers affords, have stood against the world 'in arms. 1 speak of the war as fruitless ; for it is clear that, prose cuted upon the basis of the proclamations of September 22d, and September 24th, 18G2 prosecuted, as I must understand those proclamations, to 8:y nothing of tbe kindred brood which has followed upon the theory of emancipation, d;vastat;on, subjugation it cannot fail to be fruitless iu everything except the harvest of woe which it is lipeniug for what was ence the peerless.re public Now, fellow citizens, after having said thus much, it is right that you should ask me, what would you do in this fearful extremity ? I reply, from the be ginning of the struggle to the present moment, my hope has been in moral power. There it reposes still. When, in tbe spring of 1861, 1 had occasion to address my fellow-citizens of this city, from the balcony of the hotel before us, I then said I had not believed, and did not then believe, aggression by arms was either a suitable or possible remedy lor existing evii. All that has oc curred since then has but strengthened and confirmed my convictions in this regard. 1 repeat, then, my judg ment impel 4 me to rely upon moral sorce and not upon any of tbe coercive instrumentalities of military power. We have seen in their experience of the last two years how futile are all our efforts to maintain the Union by force of arms ; but even bad war been carried on by us successfully, the ruinous result would exhibit its utter impracticability for the attainment of the desired end. Throaga peaceful agencies, and through such agencies alone, can wc hope to ' form a more perfect Union, es tablish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the geueral welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos terity," the great objects for which, and for wbich alone, the Constitution was formed. If you turn tound and ask me, what if these agencies fail ; what if the passiouate anger of both sections forbids ; what if the ballot box is sealed ? Then, all efforts, whether of war or peace, having failed, my reply is, you will take care of yburselves ; with or without arms, with or without leaders, we will at least, in the ctiort to aeieca our rights as a free people, build up a great mausoleum of hearts to which men who yearn for libjrty will in after years, with bowed heads and reverently, resort, as Chris tian pilgrims to the sacred shrines of the Holy liand. The Axnilea of Gens. Meade and Lee Ttie Coining Campaign In Virginia. A dispatch, dated the 21st, at Hagerstown, Md., re ports General Lee to he checked by the Federals at Banker Hill, they having gotten in his rear. General Averill ia reported to be " feeling " Gen. Lee's wester ly line of retreat. Gens. Ewell and Hood are reported to be within 13 niiles cf Williamspert, Md. Tre Con federate pickets have a front extending from Hedges vile, seven miles from Martinsburg, to the Shenandoah river, eight miles from Harpers Perry. The New York Times has an editorial on the " New Campaign ia Virginia." The following i3 an extract from it : ' The information which we, as yet have, both as re gards Lee's position and line of retreat, and Meade's line of advance, is too scanty to enable one to forecaste the nature of the coming campaign. The character of the great chess board is so well understood, however, that a few moves must reveal the general aspect of the grand game. In an advance on an enemy moving, by the Shenan doah Valley, we have the choice of two lines, and only two. We can move either to the right or to the left of the Ridge mountains. If we move by the right the ad vance becomes a mere following after the enemy. The chances of overtakicg him he moving towards his base, we from ours are slender ; but should the enemy determine to make a stand, the line of the Opequon creek from Charlestown to Winchester will afford him three or four capital positions. If on the other hand it is determined to move by the left, that is, East of the Blue Ridge mountains, it becomes, on our part, a strategic manoeuvre to seiza the lower gap through which the rebel army must de bouch to cover its communication by way of Culpeper and Gordonsvilb. If we take Culpeper or Gordons- ville, as what military writers call the "objective point," (and it is evident, Lee has to make thia in order to cov er his line of retreat to Richmond,) it ia obvioua that a force moving to the east of the Blue Ridge mountains, and bugging that range will be on the shorter line as compared with a force moving down the Shenandoah Valley. Iko'a route must be by way of Winchester, Strasburg, and Front Royal, and debouching, to make Culpeper, through Chester Gap or Ihornton Gap. We, on the other hand, marching by way of Berlin, Wheat land, and Warrenton, have a direct line. Lee has two sides of a great triangle to describe. Meade has but one. Previons to the inauguration of the campaign last autumn it was an anxious inquiry with McClellan which of these two lines of operation he should take. He at first determined to move by the Shenandoah val ley, and a reconnoissance in force was even made as far aa Charlestown. This tin?, however, waa abandoned and the other chosen. The movement was made rapid ly and even brilliantly. McClellan reached Warren- ton while Lee s army was still stretched oacK to Win chester. The delay of ten days which ensued when .the change of command was ' made gave Lee the time re quired, and when at last Burnside got tbe head of- his column opposite Fredericksburg be found tne rebels oc cupying the line of the Rappahannock. I his line, synonymous with three disastrous failures, we presume, uen. Meaae will avoid aitogetner. it should never have been chosen. By moving from War renton direct on Culpeper C. H., he takes the Rappa hantJock where it is an insignifieent rill affording the rebels no position for defence. Tt ia aa useful to detect error and expose it for the edification of the present and future generations, as it is to discover truth. We must steer clear of the rep etition of the former, and adhere more closely to the latter. The errors of the present campaign are now proba bly visible and palpable to all. Ten thousand men would nave oeienaed vicssourg longer tban the more numerous army we bad there, be cause their provisions would not have been exhausted so soon, and the army outside would nave osen more nnmer.ras and efficient, and th3 result would not have been so disastrous. If the reinforcements abstracted J from Bragg's army had not been sent to Gen. Johns ton, in Mississippi, and the force that was sent to him from Charleston and Savannah had been sent up Tnlla noma, Gen. Bragg could have whipped 'Rosecrans out of Tennessee and Kentucky and Grant wouM have raised tbe siege of Vicksburg or his supplies of provi sion and ammunition, going down the Ohio and Mis sissippi rivers, would have been cut oS, and necessita ted the return of his army to the Northwest, if it could have gotten there, even after Vicksburg had fallen. The incursion of Lee ibto Pennsylvania has not been without some good results though, on the whole, the ex pedition cannot be said to have been a successful one. It has contrasted beneficially and advantageously with the conduct of tbe Yankee armies ia the South. And all the world are now compelled to see that freemen and gentlemen are engaged on one side of this contest and serfs and thieves on the opposite side. Lee's expedition may have the effect to rouse the angry passions of the bad men of the North, who enlist for purposes of plun der and who advocate the continuance of the war from selfiah considerations. But, at the eama time, the con duct of hi3 army must make a most' favorable impres sion on the men of the North who are governed by principle, and are not entirely destitute of the feelings and sentiments of Christians and civilized human beings. And a still deeper aad more favirable impression will be made on the balance of the world who ere controlled by a more disinterested and dispassionate judgment than those dircctlv interested in the results ot the contest. 1 We are unable to see any goed results that can fol- 1 . . a : I - TAl.n rv n , . .1 i 1 riWirh that will be commensurate with the risk of the enterprise. He may destroy railroadjand railroad bridges, and com missary and quartermaster stores, but unless he can give a preponderance to the public sentiment of that State tr. at has been against the further continuance of the war and enable it to resist Lincoln's consciiption' successfully, the fruits of l is expedition cannot be of ar.y solid or lasting advantage. We fear that his incut sion may have a directly op posite result, as we cannot believe the people of any part of the Ncr:h are yet entirely ripe lor a counter revolution in their country. A large majority of the people of tha Northwest, we have no doubt, feel and believe that their in eiest is to go with the South in stead of the Northeast, but they arc; probably not yet prepared, especially in view of the late successes of the Northern army, to act upon their judgment of what ia Sheir interest ai;d duty. All the aiiLit3cf the Southern Confederacy are in high spirits ad excellent condition in every way. And if we avoid ttie errors of the past we have an abiding confidence that thia campaign will yet conclude tri umphantly and gloriously for the cause of Southern liberty and independence. ' Bu wo wouid much rather hear that our military authorities had resolved boldly to confront the armies of tbe enemy and drive them back tban that they in tended to perform long marches, either into neutral ter ritory or into that of the enemy to outflank them. We think Morgan could do much more god were he now iu (heir rear of Rosecrans army than being in Ohio. Knozville Register. The New from the I&la.kd3. ihcre has been but little change to note since our last. The firing has been maintebed principally by the land batteries and Fort Snmter. Oce,or two wooden gunboats engaged Battery Wagner at intervals yesterday, but quickly got out of range on receiving our fire. The only Casu alties we have learned were two men, members of the 51st North C-rolina, slightly wounded. The Ironsides and Monitors remain perfectly quiet, and it is believed they have sustained some serious damage. Two or three transports with trcop3are reported to have ar rived SuLday. The enemy fired a few random shots at the steamer Chestei field, Saturday night, but did no damage. General Beauregard paid another visit to the batte ries on James' Island on Saturday. We learn that he expressed himself well satufid with the condition of things, and appeared to bi well pleased. Since writing tte above we learn that the casualties yesterday at Batttry Wagner were two killed and sev eral wounded, caused by the explosion of a shell in an old shed near the bittery. Tbe wounded were brought to the city last evening. Chas. Courier. Expensive Luxury. The Columbus " Sun " estimates that in the Con federate States of America there are not, perhaps, less than a million of dogs, lfttle aDd big. "We regard this as a very moderate estimate. It is quite evident that these dogs muat eat ; it is evident, clso, that every cunce of bread they eat diminishes the supply of food just that much ; and, consequently, as the supply is de creased, the price of what remains must increase. Sap pose, for instance, that each dog will consume only cne half ounce of bread per day that is certainly a mode rate estimate"; but we desire to be clearly within the bounds of reason then, the million of curs would con sume three millions five hundred thousand ounces per week, or fifteen millions, one hundred and sixty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six and two-third pounds per annum ! At present prices, the bread thus consumed by these worthless dogs would amount to a sum not less than forty-six hundred thousand dollars ! This is the tribute we pay the dogs in the article of bread alone : How shall we estimate the amount of meat they will consume, the amount of eggs they suck, or the number of sheep they kill ? Of how many pounds of wool, at three and a half dolllars per pound, have these worthless caninos deprived U3 ? How many excellent pairs of cotton cards have our noble women sought in vain to purchase because the million of dog skins have not been pulled from worthless carcases, dressed and turned over to the manufacturer ? Does this seem a subject too small to challenge the attention of our legislators, or are our sage representatives will ing to pay the tribute for luxury afforded them by a pack of mangy canines ? So far as we are concerned individually, we have well nigh arrived at the decision to vote for no man to represent the interests of his county in legislative assemblies who will not pledge himself hostile to this tremendous canine tribute. A Brilliant Dash Capture of Thirty-three Negroes. On Thursday night last a small party of volunteers from Capt. Kirk's Company, Beaufort Artil lery and the 11th S. C. Reg't, all under the command of Capt. Kirk, and guided by a daring and well known scout, started on a reconnoitering expedition. They made a dash on Barnwell, or, as it is commonly called. Big Island, divided from Port Royal by only a small creek. s Proceeding to the residesee of the Hon. Wm. H. Trescot, the party surrounded the house, surprising and capturing 33 negroes, 5 of whom were members of Montgomery s brigade. Wtnle taking them to the boat two of the negroes attempted to escape by jump ing from the bank into the creek. One was shot, and it is thought instantly killed. The other's screams were heard by our pickets at a distance of three miles, and was no doubt dangerously wounded. The others were all brought off safely. They are all prime negroes, and were recognized a3 belonging to J. D. Chaplin, Esq., Mrs. Cunningham, and Messrs. Frips and Trescot the majority of them to the first named. Oa the return of the party rapid and heavy voileys of musketry were heard, supposed to be a force of the Yankees crossing the creek in pursuit. The Yankee gunboats since this expedition are keeping np a night patiol on the river. The expedition was well conceived and gallantly carried out. Ltuii lesion Lourier. Cube tor Drinking.
