the occasion of Ihe deah cf Private W. A. MilUr, our be
loved "brother ia arms," who died Jaly SOih, 1664, at the
residence of his father in Davie county, in the 19th year of
his age. Private Miller was enlisted in Davie county, eigh
teen months since, and during his sojourn with-us, which
was but for so hort & time, he ingratiated himself into the
good will of his officers and comrades, by the mildueea of
his disposition. By his death we have lost a comrade
whose place we feel it will be hard to refill, and the coun
try haB been deprived of one of her best and most patriotic
soldiers, his parents of a dutiful and aff.ctionate son, and
his friends of a sincere and true friend. Ob ! cruel death,
aain hat thru smitten one bo beloved, will thy insatiate
thiret never be gratified ? But at tbia dispensation of a
"Boly Providence," we feel we have no right to murmur,
for he doeth all thirga for his most Holy Will.

HOW GREELEY OBTAI.VED AUTHORITY TO
NEGOTIATE FOIt PEACE.
The Niagara correepondeat of the Herald, writing
under date cf the 22 1, with reference to the peace move
ment, states the following with regard to weeley's com
munication witb L'ncoln on the eubj ct :
bavera! ruLEsagea and coromanicatiODa passed between
the President aod Greeley, all of which were kept per
fectly secret and were not even trusted to the mails
The result waa that Gree! y left for Niagara Falls au
thorized to the fullest extent necessary to bring about an
interview between tbem tnd the President, without
any conditions whatever being agreed upon between
them ss to terms of settlement. Their visit was to be un
conditional in regard to the terms or details of their
proposition for peace, the only condition being that
they were willing to present terms of settlement on
their arrival, all else to rest with the events of the ne
gotiations. Oq this Greeiy was authorized to give
them a eafe escort to Washington and back, or through
our lines to Richmond, a? they preferred. None of
these communications or messages, varbal or other
wise, came into the hands of the rebel commissioners, and
therefore have not been made public with the other cor
respondence. Thus the most important link namely,
the authority and original conditions asked for by
the President yet remains a secret. No person or
persons has theee -documents but the President and
Greeley. The latter has the power to clear the whole
thing up in this respect, and events may possibly force
him to do so for self-vindication. He may, perhaps,
think best to keep them back, in order to make an
original chapter to hi? history of the wonderful peace
movement. That Mr. Greeley had d""gated to him all
the powers stated above, appears to ma certain from
the best information that I can gather here. At least,
he gave all with whom he had anything to do in the
matter here so to understand, and so the public will
believe unless it is . contradicted by the official corres
pondence. ejtalino of thb Statue op Washington .Daring
the late raid of Gen. Hunter in the Virginia Valley,
the broDze statue cf W asmngton, erected in 17bo, the
first ever cast of the father of hi9 country ; was stolen
from Lexington, and in a broken form wad transported
to Wheeling. The tablet was broken in three placss .
It bore the inscription:
"The General Assembly of the Com inon wealth of
Virginia have caused this statue to be erected as a
monument of aflection and gratitude to George
Washington, who, uniting to the endowments of the
hero the virtues of tha patriot, an-' exerting both in
establishing the liberties ot his country, has endeared
his name to his fellow citiz3ns, and given to the world
on immortal example of true glory. Done in the year
of Christ, 1738, and in the year of the Commonwealth
tbo 12th,"
The Emperor Napoleon; in his wars against a foreign
enemy, received the censure of all historians tor enncn-
icg France with works oi art, taken from the palaces
and the cities he had conquered; but Napoleon never
removed a statue erected by a grateful people to any ol
their illustrious dead. That act of utter infamy is
rcservtd for an American General in this the noon
time of the nineteen ih centuiy. The State cf Virginia
had erected this statue to her own son, whom she gave
to the Revolution which gave birth to the Republic.
She had selected the spot for its erection where her
8tatt Military Academy waa placed, to tbe ecd that
her sons might draw inspiration from his wisdom and
patriotism ironi b:s virtues. The Military Academy
was givtn to the incendiary torcii, acd was burned to
tbe ground the statue cf Wasrington wasiaktn from
its pedestal and feloniously carried aw y, as lo douin
would have been hia bouee, had they reea buried tfceie
This was done by the command of an officer bearing
a commission in th service of the Repnb.ic Washing
ton kid formed. Although the statue was erected
by the commonweal h that gave Washington bir h,
and which he eo lovt-d, to perpetuate her piide in her
noblest son, in whose bossam bis ashes slept, yet Bht
gladly bailed him as the Father ot his Country, aud the
people ot every estate in the Confederacy called him by
that proud tine, ice stealing ct u.e statue was au
ac of Y tLdaJism without earthly excuse it is a that
that nothicg can palliate d sgracttoi to the age, and
doublv bo to tbe country that will suffer such a scaril
t-ge to go unwhipi-ed ot justioe. It will give the auihor
of the theft a name, and it will ; in history, associate it
with tiiat ot Wash naton, but like that of the youth
who, tor tbe sake cf an infamous immortaility, fired the
Eobefeian Temple, it is euch a form teat goOu men would
sono K from eJ iviag. Iu the world's history it is wi. fl
oat a parallel, and our hope ia thit it may remain eo.

BCPPOSK WE LOSE ATLASTR t
No one would grieve for the loss of the city of Atlan.
ta more than we ; and few perhaps, apprehend its losst
We learn frc m both public and private sources, thas
new troops, in large numbers, are daily joining Hood'
army. We hear that there are m&By more on their
way to join it ; and expect, daily to hear that all Sher
man's lines of communication with hia base of opera
tions are cut. We hear of no fresh troops on their way
to join him. Kentucky is full cf "rebel-guerrillaa."
A general rebellion against the Federal Gevernment is
daily apprehended. More Federal troops are needed
there, and are earestly called for ; but the United
States Government can spare none to send.. If Ken
tucky be lost to them, Sherman's army is cut off, and
must be lost also. Batter save Kentucky, that lose
both Sherman and Kentucky, by sending troops to him
acd leaving her undefended. To lose her would involve
the loss of his army, no raatttr how large it be, for it
would be cut ofi from supplies.
There are no troops that can be spared for him from
along tbe Mississippi river. We have re occupied the
territory "on either side of that liver, and the enemy
hold only a few towns and forts, very inadequately.
They have not half, nor a fourth, enough troops along
that rver for prosecuting the war with any hopes of
success. Their Trans Mississippi army is almost anni
bila.ted. They have lost both Louisiana and Arkansas;
and Price is marcbiDg, with an overwhelming force, in
to Missouri, here .thousands of faerce guerrillas wel
come bis approach, and are joining his ranks, or co
operating in some way with bim.'
From tbe East he has still less hopes of relief.
Maryland and Pennsylvania are invaded by tbe Con
federates, Washington threatened ; and tbe Federals
cannot muster up force to repel the invasion. The dis
pirited remnant of Grant's lately multitudinous army
has ensconsed itself in a corner formed by the junction
of the J ames and Appomattox rivers, where it is pro
tected cot only by those two rivers, but by iron clad
steamers on each of them, and by strong breastworks
in front. Grant holds aa almost impregnable position.
But he came to besiege Richmond, and is besieged by
ijte. Aj-.t: win proDaoiy not auacK mm, lor me sicsiy
season ia at band, when musquitoes, ague and bilious
fever w;.ll slowly, but surely, destroy the remnants of
his shattered forces, if be persist in holding his present
position for his summer retreat. Verily, ii will be his
last retreat, if he stay there much longer. We have
thus shown that Sherman can hope for reinforcements
from no quarter. His tituatiou is a perilous one al
ready, aud growiog worse every day ; for he is losing
menin battle, by disease and by desertion, and by ex
piration of term3 of service almost hourly. Hi
army is diminishing, ours rapidly increasing; and bis
will continue to diminish and curs to increase. If be
canrot take Atlanta to-day, be will be still less abl3 to
capture it to-monow, and tbe next day, and the next.
But suppose he were to take it ? Would that better
bis eituUion ? No but make it far worse. He would
iose a t hird or a fourth ot bis army in the battle by
which he won it ; be in no condition for a forward
movement, and less able than ever to retrace his steps
to Chattanooga, and theuce to Nashville. Victory or
defeat will be equally fatal to h'm. Cut of) from rein
forcMneiits, be is situa'ed just as Phyrrhus was in Iia
when looking over the field of battle, after a splen iid
iciory, that great warrior exclaimed : " One more
such victory and 1 am undone."
Let Sherman gain two great victorias over us, and
he and his army are our3. But we will have them on
cheaper and better term3. He will gain no victory.
His lines of com mu til at ion will be cat off. He will
be compelled to attack Hood behind bis in trench ments.
Will b defeated ; and, seeing no hope of escape, he
and his army will surrender at discretion. This is the
most probable result, and at all events, sooner or later,
and wfie'ber he captures Atlanta or cot, he and hia
army will be captured or cut to piecea in the attempt to
retreat.

liatler committed a few murders, imprisoned aged
clergymen and helpless womeD, and stole everything he
could lay his hands upon. He h more of a petty lar
ceny thief than a bold ruffian. Sherman ia a cold, cal
culating robber and murderer, devcid of all human fee!
iDg or respect for the usages of war. But of all the
monsters who have been permitted to walk the earth,
Hunter is the meanest, most vindictive, cowardly and
cruel. After reading the following extracts from let
U rs published by our cotemporarUs the first irom a
lady redding at the Sweet Springs, and written to her
daughter, in this city we hope, if the miscreant ever
falls into the hands of any of our soldiers or citizens,
they will give hiin tbe benefit of a stout piece of cord
and the. .inb of a tree and report the capture after
ward :
From the Enquirer.
Hun ter'8 army, cf 25,000 men, camped at the Sweet
S priegs Thursday night, 23d of June, and were here
at least apoition of them, until Friday evening. I
cannot give you on paper an idea of all that transpired
during that dreadful night and day.
About five o'clock in the morning Colonsl Lewia and
Letty went to eee Hunter, to ask for a guard, and to
tell bim that she had been misrepresented, and to ex
plain the facts, it being due to herself, &s. Hunter re
fused the guard, and told her to go fiome and take her
things out of the house, for he inte7ided to burn it. She
then told bim that she had nothing to do with the bush
whacking, and did not know that Thurman and his men
were nearer than twenty miles until tbe firing was all
over. He asked "Ace you. willing to swear it !" She
said she was. He then said he intended to burn all
property within five miles of any point where As aimy
was bushzvhacked the Sweet Springs, Red Springs and
her'a.
She then Eaid ; "Surely, General, you can't be in
earnest in saying that you intend that women and
children are to be made to suffer cucb calamnity, in ad
dition to all besides that is the natural consequences of
war." He replied in these misserable words : "I do
intend that the women shall suffer ; I organized this
raid for these special purposes ; the women ot the South
are the fiends that have kept up thia war ; they fcnve
thrust their fathers, husbands and brothers irto the army,
and have endured everything that could incite the men
tojgo on with the war, and I intend to crush the proud
rebellious spirit of you Virginians. I am coming bacs
to barn your grain fields, to make a desert of the pride
of the earth, to desolate your country, and starve the
women and children, but what they shall come bac to
their Iawlul Government the be3t Gov .rnment m the
world." Letty then said : General, am I to understand
that myself and the females of my family are to be de
livered over to your teamsters and soldierly r toureiy,
if you ever cheerished the instincts of a brave man,
and one at the head of armies, you cannot mean to do
it.
She tepeatel the question three times, addin?, " as
ore who is, one day, to stand at the bar ot uoa, you
will not add such a stain to your rank as a Federal of
ficer." Then, for the first time,Jhe appeared to think,
and asked, "did you say you had a guard ?" "les, but
be will soon leave, and then we will need another."
"Well," replied Hunter, " the one you now have will
remain until relieved." With this .Letty cad to come
away, and we bad no guard from six o'clock in tbe
morning until late in the evening, a abort time before
the army left. Gemral Averill told Kt-lley'a family
that he bad great trouble to persude Hunter not to burn
all tbe bouses. '
1 tea came tbe plundering vandals by ten and twen
ties, and through the whole day the destruction went
on, sometimes fifty or may be one hundred in the
house at occe. They broke open every press, . truDk,
bureau : carried eff nearly everything of value, got
everytbirg we had to eat, not a crnmb of anything
being left, from the garret to the cellar no, not enough
lo teed a bird ; took all of her silver, except the
sp oaa that eie left out when the silver was put
away, nod which one of the servants hid ; all of her
jewelry ; tore up end carried away every towel and
napkin but six ; nearly every pillow cse, sheet and
blanket ; des'n yed nearly all of Colonel Lewia clothes,
and carried tfl all our under clothing ; in fact, they
went everywhere that a terrier pnpyy could go.
Mr. Walters found three of lVtty'a shawls in the
field afterwards, acd brought them back to ter. Near
ly all of cur 8tockiogs are gone, all of our pocket hand
kerchiefs, and they tvtn took ourfootA brushes. They
destrojed the greater portion of the medicines in tbe
house, pulled cut everything helter-akelter upon the
floors of tbe rooms, destroyed and carried eff books and
papers I bad my silver in fay trunkrs, for I bad entire
ly forgotten it was there, acd now every piece of silver
is gone except one teaspoon and Rosa's cup the latter
vras hid by one of the servants. I also lost all of my
jewelry except one breastpin and three rinps which
bad on. In fact sd much w&9 stolen that it is easier
for me to tell you what is left.'
We had to go to one of tbe Yankee ColoneJa for food
for supper ; he seemed to be somewhat of a gentleman,,
aid gave ua some. None of us bad eaten a mouthful
that day, acd next morning John wa vomiting, from
fasting and excitement, and a little Irish lad wh o lives
here was pick for several days. The vandals took all
the cows, but T7e managed to get back four ; all the
horses and nearly all the cattle. They slaughtered tbe
poultry, bogs and sheep, and what they could not carry
off left to rpL Everything they could find to eat in
every house about here they appropriated, and even the
poorest cabins were entered nd robbed. No one, ex
cept Beirns, the proprietor of the Sweat Springs, was
robbed so completely as we were, but co ladies' were at
the Springs. Oae of tte Yankee Colonels, named
Wells, commanding a brigade, and hia sraff surgeon,
stopped at our house, after it was sacked, and seemed
really horrified at tbe sight. Tbe Doctor said :
" This is a damnable spectacle, and is enough to damn
any command. I did not want to come on this raid,
and if I live to get home I will never come upon an
other-"

does hia jotting in Macon geta op tbe following very
spirited pen and ink sketch of that beautiful Georgia
city : -
Ihe rambler has transferred himself from the busy
scenes and his pearch iu Atlanla, to an eyrie in Macon,
where we lock ou from a printer's den, to scan the pan
orama of thia beautiful city. We are delighted to be
come a denizen of
XACOX.
We admire its magnificent avenues ; its broad roomy
streets ; ita.wide and smooth walks ; its spUndid prom
enades; its cheerful shady eeplanades; its palatial stores ;
its grand buildings ; its surface of thrift and enterprise,
and its many evidences of successful mechanical and mer
cantile Industry. .
its magnificent residences exhibit tbe refined tastes
of a people who have learned to apprecite the luxurious
establishments that give reputation aad elegarce to a
city. Ita comfortable houses era attractively arranged,
and built with a view to comfort and airiness. Their
beautiful surroundings lend an air of romantic suburban
quiet, that renders them very enticing and very lovely.
All over the city, the elegant evidences of wealth arc
exhibited. The judicious display evinces the wisdom
and refinement of a people who make and have made
money Jor the things it would buy.
We admire ita churches, those glorious structures,
whose rich and ornamental architecture, always indicate
tbe tastes of the people of a rrity more plair ly than any
other feature. Well cultivated minds appreciate the
beauty and magnificence of a temple devoted to tbe
worship of the living God. It is seldom flat generous
and true hearted people worf hip honestly or ut ceptaoly
in a dirty, dilapidated, neglected church structure,
whose very app aranca indicates a want of respect for
tbe Christian's God.
The many large and handsome commercial and pub
lic buildings here, exhibit fastidious and elegant tastts
which rtfl ct much credit on its ambitious aud success
ful citizens.
We love tbe exquisite fanciea that lure the lady rest
dents to embower tbeir homes with fbwera and amid
the aha 3e of beautiful trcea. We revel in tbe music
thatissues from almost every one of tuese elegant homss
when we take our evkning walk by them. All over the
city and its attractive suburbs, we find - the same de
lightful promenades, and whilst admirirg tbm, our
heart chirrups-iike-a bird that carols ita songs iu tbe
rich foikge of the perfumed and glorious forests of the
warm South.
There is something very quaint and beautiful in the
su roundings of Macon. Environed by a ridge whose
summit ia crowned by magnificent, even regal palaces,
it haa tbe appearance of having been transplanted from
some Italian provides, to reflect on the white face of
those marble walls, their q liet romance acd splendors,
ard r juvenate antiquity. The red flow of the river,
'.;ke the thick yellow of the Tiber, lead8 illus'on to the
cjneeir. Tbe violet sunset and the golden border of th:
thick scroll like rain cloud over there in the west, fur
nishes a brilliant frame to the view from our eyrie.
We sec them, as we have looked on their gorgeous
beauty a thousand time?, from a charmed home on the
banks of tbe great inland sea, where the " Father ot
Waters" rolls down its turbid tide. We are very quiet
whilst we watch those clouds behind tha white palaces
on the hill, wnat strarge s eats ana snaces tney
present, as changeful as a willful child or the whims ot
an exacting sweet heart. They have
"The doubtful radiance of contending des,
That faintly mingle yet diatinotly rise."
" THE LADIES.
What an army of beautiful ladies enliven the city
With the magic of their presence. We have admired
tbe royal host until we are bewildered. These thous
ands of angels in satins, Bilks, muslins and divine
homespun, are very enticing. Surely the South must
have stored ita treteures of queenly "women and loveli
ness in this granary.
A friend remarked to us that tbe greater cumber ol
them are refugees.
" We care not, so their presence ease
Thia ashiDg heart, sir, if ycu please."
But Macon haa treasures of its own ; fair and beau
tiful jewels whose exquisitely moulded face3 and ele
gantly modeled forms are as dear and attiactive to the
eyes as the most iasuaious ccnnoi&ieur wouia aesire to
pay homage to.
EUROPEAN ITEMS.
The following items of foreign nsws are from late
files brought by the Europa :
THS EKAA3ABGB AND THE TEDDO.
The Kcarsarge arrived in Dover Roads on Wednes
day evening, July 6. It bad been stated in some ot
the French papers inac a successor to me laoama
would probably be in waiting off Cherbourg when the
Federal vessel left that port, asd that another naval
engagement might take place, in which the South would
have an opportunity of retrieving its late defeat.' No
cew Alabama, however, seems to have yet appeared :
but it ia asserted that a steamer, the ITeddo, which left
Bordeaux on the 22d of J une, ia to take the place of
the notorious privateer. On this subject the Gironde
of tbe 4lh says :
" It will be recollected that a mystery surr Jttnded the
departure of the Yeddo. Thia mystery seems liktly to
be maintained. In lact, it was Wednesday, the 22d
of June, that the Yeddo quitted our port lor Amster
dam ; the voyage between the two cities being ordina
rily four days, we ought five days ago, at least, to have
heard of her arrival in the Dutch port of the steamer
built acd armed by M. Arman. But no commercial
iournal that we know of has said a word upon the sub
ject. The voyage of the Yeddo haa certainly some
thing strange and unusual about it, and the future will
soon ehow that the anticipations respecting her were
only too weli founded."
The Opinion Rationale os3erts that the Yeddo will
soon reappear, fully atmed acd manned, and with the
Confederate flag flyii-g. . Captain Semmes, it ia said,
ia too ill to take command ot her. This duty will con
sequently devolve ou the first lieatecaat of the late Al
abama, whose appointment is expected to arrive about
tbe middle of the present month. If the statements of
tbe French papers are to be relied on, there will soon
be no lack in the channel of war vtsaels belonging to
the rtbela. Accordiug to these statements, tbe Florida
ia already there ; the Yeddo is getting ready, anci the
South ia probably preparing a display of fresh forces,
while, on the other hand, we learn that the Federal
a earner Niagaia lett Antwerp on the 2d instant, to
ciuisa m the channel, and that a new Federal steamer,
.be Macedonian, built upon tbe same model as tbe
Kearsarge, atd armed with havy guns, is txpecied.
Lbe Piesse thinks that a far more dramatic engagement
than that in which the Aiaoama perisaed may accord
ingly be looked for at no dia-ant day.
TH3 BAPPAHANNOCK.
A letter haa been received in Hull, England, from
one of the crew of the C juiedrate steum.tr Rappahan
nock which is lying at Calaia. The writer etaies that
the snip is at present under the strict surveillance of the
French and English authorities, who firmly refuse to
permit her to leave Calais. For some time past tbe
Keuisurge haa been cruising eff Calais with the hope
ol capturing the Rapi-aaaunock. Toe Confederate at
present is not in a position to cope with her would-be
antagonist, aa Bbe haa neither gun nor ammunition on
board. lhe captain of the Rappahannock would, how.
ever, if the nuinoriiies gramea permisaioc, leave ihe
port and take hia chances of eluding the vigilance of the
Federal. . n . . t . , Al
Tbe writer states that the Confederate ia much the
faateat vessel, and - that if she once got ahead of the
Kearsarge she would be perfectly Eafe. The Rappahan
nock id fitted with a fine pair ot engines of three hun
dred and fifty horse power, four fighting boilera and
two dispatch boilers. She naa on Doard at present
-boat one hnndrpd and thirty men. The news of the
Binkircr of the Alabama called lorth many expreaaiona
of regret from th3 crtw of the Rappahaouock, and they
evinced their sympathy fcr the crew of the lost vessel
by making a collection for the wounded and the widows
of those wtro were kilted or drowned during the brief
struggle between tbe Federal and Confederate crui
sers. THB PRISOXB&S F0X THB ALABAMA, ETC.
Tha Tnnn Tiallv News savs :
The four officers of the Alabama who landed at
Cherbourg. as prisoners on parole surrendered them
selves on,board the Kearsarge when that vessel left the
port. ' Advices from Cherbourg state that the Kear
sarge had been replaced iu the roadstead by the Federal
corvette Sacramento. Tbe latter ia built on" tbe same
model aa the Kearsarge, and, like her, is armed with
very large pivot guns. Afrer having taken on board
coal and provisions, the Sacramento is to go in quest
of Confederate vessels cruising on the coast of Europe.
Captain Semmea left Southampton cn Thursday for
London, on a visit to Mr. Mason, the Confederate en
voy. Captain Semmrs is much better iu health, but
L? still feels acutely the loss of his ship.

War Sang.
We recognize the propriety, lookicg to cur readers raher
than to ourselves, cf placing under our editorial head any
thing which we think specially worthy of their attention
and consideration. Upon this principle it ia we la? before
our readers the "War Snug " which Sir Edward Bulwer in
his great novel Iiier zl," has put into the mouths of the
EomaDs wh6n marching against their foes. With ery slight
alterations it could be adapted to the Confederate btates ;
and if music corresponding to its merits could be invented,
few things in the English language cculd be better suited
to our cause, or better refljot th9 noblo spirit wl'h which
our people are actuated.

"RicBzi's word of battle.
The Wounded Yankek Neghoks. Some sixty or
seventy of toe Yankee tegroes, who wete wounded in
tbe engagement of Saturday, wtro brought ioto the
Poplar Lawn Hospital yes'erday, in ambulances.
Stretched upon the grass of the Lawo, they presented
a rare spectacle. There were o!d men aDd young among
them thick-lip blacks and tbe more regular leatared
mulattos. Tbeir wounds generally are of the servereat
na'.ure ; arms broken, legs broken, backs broken and tbe
like. They remained unattended to on the add so long,
before the Yankeea would allow them to bo brought iu,
that tbe woucd3 have become cflensive, and are fly
blown. The Yankee Surgeon in charge of the hospit
al waa busy all tho day in performing operations, and
had not got through last night. Some of the fdiows
aay that until the flag of truce they had nothing to eat
or drink after the battle.
Some whites and Indiana were brought in with the
crowd. Pet. Express, 3d in&t.
TUB COSFEDEliACY A3 VIEWED ABIifAi).
The Richmond Stntinel ia permitted to publish the
lollowing extract from a letter of a Virginiau, dated at
I?rus3ela, Juiy 1st.:
"I have an abiding confidence that Richmond is not
to be taken. Gen Leo ia net only equal to hia posi- -tion,
but also equal to tbe emergency. Such skiil aa
he haa displayed, since Grant crossed the Rapadian,
cannot fail. He ia regarded all over Europe as the
ablest general of the age, and hia army aa invincible aa
any tbat the world ever beheld. Then, too, there ia
unsurpassed wisdom in the Executive counsels of Rich
mond. Tbo President ia all that we could reasonably
desire him to be." What a name he haa in the estima
tion of the sovereigns fcnd statesmen of this hemisphere.
"If Grant and Sherman fail, the indications are dis
tinct tbat the North must definitively break down.
Neither men nor money, in that event, will bo forlh
comfcg. Let ua have faith and fervently hope."

A Female Mu,i.
A re-union with an old friend with whom' wa cam
paigned several years go, haa brought to mind many
pteaeant memories. Oa2 cf the most laughable and
ridiculous was one. that occurred to Maj. John L. Mor
gan, Quartermaster in tbia city. At Fort , where
be was stationed, Indiana visited constantly and in
large numbers, making the place a familiar rendezvous.
Oae evening tbe Msjor received from the Postoffice De
partment a large supply 0f Uncle Sam's postage stamps,
which he placed iu a box in his quarters. These In
dians were in the habit of going where they pleased and
appropriating anything that took their fancy. That
evening, whilst the Major was absent on the parade
ground, on Indian squaw, in 4 prowling about
the quarters, discovered the postage stamps
These creatures were not very Iuxurioua or fastidious
iu their habits of drees, yet they would wear all the
finery they could pile ao. Thia eqaaw especially, wheth
er because of poverty or choice, seldom wore any arti
cle of dress except a few brass finger and earricga.
In a few minutes she appeared on the parade ground
with her naked body completely covered with United
Statta postage stamps, admiring herself with much
gusto. Screams of laughter greeted her appearance.
The Major rushed to hi3 quarter and discovered hi3
los3, but he consoled himself by proposing that if she
wished to be mailed, she should go through, aa she was
pre-paid to her full weight. Atlanta intelligencex.
The Draft for a Half Million cf Mtn.
A fo7 days ego we noticed briefly that Edward N.
Fuller, editor of the Newark, S. J.t Evening Journal,
had been arrested by the United Statea authorities,
charged with publishing treasonable articlts. The fol
lowing is a paragraph from one of the articles :
"It will be seen that Mr. Lincoln haa called for an
other half a million ol men. Those who desire to b9
butchered will pleass step forward at once. All othera
will pkase step forward and defy Old Abe and ht3
miniocs to drag them from their families.
We hope that the people of New Jersey will
at ence put their feet down and insist that not a man
shall be forced out of the State to engage in 'he aboli
tion butcbery, and swear to die at their own doors
rather than march one step to ,'ulfi.l tbe dictates of that
mad revolutionary faratioism, which haa destroyed the
best government the world ever saw, acd wou'd dow
bmcber ita lemaining inhabitants to curry out a mere
fanatic.il sentiment.
Tbia has gone far enougb, aDd niuat be stopped. Let
the people rise a3 oae man atd demand that thia whole-

Mr. Fuller was arrested on two charges, end held to
bail in the sun of 85, COO on the first, and $2,000 on
the second charge.
