There is one thing which has almost grown into a habit with the Sou'hern press and from which we can not claim complete, though we can c'aim comparative exemption, and that i3 in the nature of counting chick ens bt-fore they are hatched of predicting all sorts ot important and wholly favourablo results, as certain to spring irom any new movements which they may feel themselves authorized even to hint at. Theconseq ience of all thia i?, fint, that an idea 13 given to the enemy, if he doe3 not already possess it, that somethitg is afoot, and the second is that undue expectatiori are awrkened among our own people lead ing to disappointments acd discouragements, atd dis satis faction? if they fail to be realized, which they very well may, for we know that while 'our commanders and cur armies may do all that men can do to dec.rve and to win succcep, it is not in the power of man to com mand if. We cught always to hope for the best, but not confidently to prom;ee it. We make these remarks in conccc'ion with the cam paign now progressing in upper Georg'n. Everything that our most paDguiae- friends hope for from that cam paign may be realized, but then again, they may not' and weEhould be prepared to meet the. fortunes of war with iqaanimiiy, if not alwajs ith satisfaction to welcome prosf,eri-y, but not to sink under advtrsity. Wlhntngioti. The RicLme td Sentinel, 01 the 10 -h instant, has a lengthy editorial cn an rttempt likdy to be made by the Ftderal Naval ar.d Military forces for the capture of Wilmington. WTe give the editorial balow, simply remarking hat we have no doubt ot our commanding General being well peskd and fully alive to the importance of the sit. uatioD, and that everything that depends upon him will be plactd in a state of preparation to meet the emer gencies of tbe case. Bat be can' only wotk with the meats placed at his disposal; and it behooves tbe State authorities and tbe people cf the State at large to give him every tssistance in labor, 8nd to hold in readiness to respond to his call every available man, to aid in a succc-sefal de-feDce cf her only r.m linirg port ; and, foi that matter, the only remaining port of the Cocfeleracy accessible to commerce. We have tbe moat perfect a?suracc3 that Governor Vance will arsiat to the utmost extent of his power. We do eincirely trust thai he will 'e warmly seconded by all the people ol tbe Slate ; f jr, should Wilmington unfortunately fall, her people will not be the only losers, bat the whole State will Lei the lo?3 and be placed in jerpardy, end a blow will be kflicted on the Uoufedir acy unexampled since the loss of New Orleans : From tho Richmond Sentinel, 10th inst. Wilmington. Of the Federal admirals there are two who have been tbe roost con?picucu3 for enterprise and good fortune. The first cf these is Admiral Farragut, who is a brave and skilful officer, with seme rem iius of the elevated de meanor which he learned in the South, of which he is a native, and to which he has turneu traitor. Few Fed eral efficers have aimed more successful blows than has be againM his own people, and against tbe Common wealth that nurtured him. The laurels which he has won as a soldier are badges of his everlasting infamy aa a citizen. Benedict Arnold, plundering and burning the towns of Virginia and of his own Connecticut, in the service of the liritisb.is the prototype of David G. Farragut, who displays an e ial zeal in the service of the enemies ot his own hearthstone. The curses of Hea ven are accumulating against him for each act of his unnatural career. The other Admiral to whom we have above referred ia Porter ; aa energetic and bold man, but a low dis gusting braggart, and a rapaciou3 thief and robber. Theaa two offirs have been called Irom their late scenes of operation for the purpose of being assigned to new tiiitie3. Farragut leave3 Mobile unattacked ; but after having made a ledgment within its Bay. This is relied upon as having seakd the port and closed its commerce. Porter has been pairolling the Mississippi with the scent cf a wolf and tne vigilance of a pirate. Where are they to bs stationed now ? Of Farrogut's destination the United States papers have left us in no duubt. lie is to operate sgamst Wilmington. That port is to be closed. 'J hat which the Yankee cflicers have in vain endeavored to do, this apostate Southerner is to be set to accomplish for them. We shall not wonder if the attempt extend beyond the mere closing of the port to the actual capture of vVil micgloa. We shall lock to see that city made the object ol a combined land and naval expedition and at tack. Wilmington is n the East bank of the Cape Fear river, thirty-four miles from the ccean by the cmrse ol tbat Etream. It is a much lets distance, however, to the ocean beach, at its nearest approach ; the Cape Fear r:ver, in that part of its course, being nearly par allel to the coast. Oar forts below Wilmington have prevented the entrance of the United States war vessels into the river ; eo that, in order to check our outward commerce, the enemy baa no resource but to lie iff the mouth ol the river, acd institute a blockade. With all their efforts, they have lound this very ineffectual. The channels or entrances into the river from the ocean are so many and s j wide apart, and the. vessels employed in the blockade trade are so swilt, that, under cover ol night, both ingress and egrtS3 have been effected with comparative safety. Of late, our enemies have adopted the; most extraordinary preveu:ive precautions. They have two lines of blockades, 3tationtd like two lines 01 sentinels or pickets, atound the entrai. ee into the Cape Fear ; the first as teat tLe shore as may be, and the second well cut tot sea. These biockadera or guiici ships are the. fastest war steamers that can be procured They are required to be constantly under full head ol s'eara, acd ai night each ste-amet ia iu constat in otiOo oackwarda and forwards over the piece ol water as signed to it, like u sentinel treading his beat. Ail these extraordinary acd txpensive appliances having tailed to deBtroy the commerce cf Wilmington, Farragut is now called in. Tne estimation in which the Yankees hold this offieer, and the character ot the enu rprises in which he has been hitherto employed, warn us thut new and unprecedented endeavors are now to be set on loot. Nothing Usa than ene capture ot Wi mingten, or the forts which Keep open its outlet to the sea, will satisfy Farragut's ambition. Ilia pre decessors at that point have but V scotched the snake" he will endeavor to kill it. It will be unreasonable to assign any lower aim to Farragut's undertaking. It will be vcy unwise, and, indeed, fatal, if we adapt our preparations lor d-ienej to any narrower calcula tion. Our works should all be pat in the most efficient posture. They should be enlarged and extended, and new ones thrown up whenever and wherever tbe most suspicious precaution would suggest. Tne utmost re sources of engineering skill ehould be appealed to. Nor should we pes pone aoy part ol our preparation until reminded ol its necessity by the deploying of the enemy's columns or the thuudcr ot bra iron clads. The calls ior laborers, and the anxious effort to complete this or that work, will then le too late. The time tcr preparation ia now. Aie the officers in command at Wilmington attending to it ? No efficer is worthy ol position there who is capable of neglecting a duty. It ia the post tf responsibility, and is soon to be the post of danger. We need in the commander a sleepless vigi lance, a far seeing sagacity, an indefatigable industry, a cool head and brave heart. Such a one may win him self a noble fame, for there wi;l soon be, what capable officers always wish for opportunity. But an officer who might exhibit opposite qualitjcs, who might con sult his personal ease and appetite in the presence of so grave a responsibility and so vital a duty, would quick ly give his countrymen reason to execrate him and to wish he had never ban born. We trust that .all who may be adjudged worthy to manage the defence "of our last seaport will quit themselves like patiots and men. To defend it successfully and to OYerthTQW Farragut will ba a doable honor. II III l! I ft I tl STATES OF AMERICA-WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 20, 1864. ! NO. 4.

Perhaps there is no one thing connected with the j inr nalism of the present day more to ba regretted than the universal system of "puffing" everything that comes before the public, no matter whether its pretensiocs are true or fa.sa. Any candidate for popular Javour-a prima donna or a patent pill is indiscrim natelv prais d in most tston iBhing superlative, evea th -uga it be disgustingly bad aid as noxi ui es the Upas on Lybian plaios. So common ban this become, one hardy hopes to get an honest opinion upon real merit, and only sees in the flattering notices he reads, an advertising card paid for at so ranch per (square. If society were perfect, arid there was no such thing aaex aergeration and hunobng, this universal praise would do Tli-s nil nisi bonum principle would be a very good one if och were the case; but in these days of imposition and de ceit, it stopi all true criticism, aud becomes as absurd as he old syliog stic example proving that black is white To a large majority of anch "puffi," one gives as much cre dence as to the handbills scattered through tho streers, or posted on vacant wall, in which some weak-minded pii -ter seems to have gone raving mad in all kind-i of type, ia bi efforts to make a worthless nostrum appear a va'ua b e pani acea, or in giving a notorious acd impudent aa iiostro all the praise dae a mao of genius. In theatrical notices and pretended critiqaea upon the drama, this is particularly noticeable. To cvcil any semblance of this, we have heretofore said very litt e of the Wilmington stage, and of the charming artiste now attracting so much notice upon it waiting to stud well her character and standing as an actress before expressing an opinion npon her mer its. The announcement that Miss Vernon's engigement is drawing to a close now calls for that opinion, and we ex preas unhesitatingly our admiration of her talent, and give the applauae she has honestly won. Considering the fact that the Theatre has been nightly crowded to witness h'r performances, it may seem singular no men'ion has been made of it ; J ut in publishing that fact alone we accord her -i moca praise as if it were put in more lengthy sentences. Upon the fUgs, as in ather walks of life, sucs is the test of merit. Tne public cannot b6 long deceived. An impo sition may be palmed off for a single night, but rows of empty seats upon the next, give a genuine expression f public censure. To Bay theu that the 'I heatre has been crowded night after night to witness Miss Vernon's per sonation of Lady Ieabel Carlyle, and Madame Vine, in tv leure's play of " at Lynne," or as the Jewish Maiden in " Leah," is to Bay she las achieved a sure success in those parts. This is popular criticism, and the most flitteiinj, perhapB, that conid be given- With great tastje in all mat ters of costume and dress, young, handBome, a fine, grace ful figure, an expressive face, regular fea'ures, speaairg eyes, and a richly modulated voice, cultivated by careful a udy, she shows from the first moment she steps upon 'he stage those evidences of talent in wh;ch no one can be de ceived. Together with these natural advantages she has versatility enough to throw herself thoroughly into the characters she represents, losing for the tioae ier own iden tity in them, thus giving them an air ot real life nnattained by any other actress. And far the time tbey are rel characters, the affectionate and high toned Lady Isabel aud tbe'snSenng, soirowfal governess standing personally before ns, their real joys and sorrowa represented by real smiles and tears. It is safe to say Miss Vernon's fosdnes3 for ths st8g her enthusiasm in the profession sbo has chosen, is the true secret of her success. There is no half way work, no list lessness or inattention ; but the work she has to do, if worthy to be done, is to be done well. She aims at nature, and succeeds in reproducicg it 80 well we forget the ac tress, and think only of the heroine she brings before u. Her forte lies in those characters representing domestic scene, love passages in some quiet homes, affection de ceived, or tbe woman struggling with the world and adver sity. As 44 Lady Isabel Carlyle," 44 Madame Vine," 'Leah," 44Camille," 4' Medea," 44 Pauline," and perhaps 44 Mrs. Haller," in Kotzebue's 44 Stranger," she exceeds any arlis'.e we have yet had, and can well lay claim to the title of tbe first actress in the South. Nor would we con fine her to such characters alone, for Bhe has also achieved success in other parts, although we must confess they do not suit her style fio well. The women of Bhakspeare Miranda, Portia, Daeditnona, or Juliet, are all within her scope, but in the characters first mentioned Bhe will win the greater reputation. Her Lady Isabel is already famous, and there are tew would have the temeritv to undertake it alter ber rendering, while her Leah has a personality of its cwn as marked upon our stage a the Phaedre of Rachel. Threione character still we would see her in before leaving to iuitlii her engagement in Richmond -that cf 14 May," in Tom Taylor's 44 'iicket-of L ave Man," a character that permits great scope of power, and we hope the manager may again put it on the stage, with Morton as 44 Bjb Brierly." - In connection with Miss Vernon's recent performances, one can but notice the able manner in-which she has been supported by Mr. Charlas Morton a finished actor -always up to we mark in whatever character he undertakes. Asa Comedian he has been long known and admired, and now he has shown himself competent to any part in acy drama. In the grandest characters ot Shakspea e, the fi nest in more modern plays, as Lear, Ilamlet, Archibald Cailysle, Touchstone, ot Poor Pillicoddy. he is equally at home, in this versality he shows his talent; and the best pro jf of his merit is the gi-eat applause given him whsre ever he appears. B. Later from Texas and Mtxlca. The Clarion baa late and interesting Texas and Mex ican news, from which we extract the f jllowing : Brownsville, Sept. 1, 1864. Ed. Tel.: The steamer Arkansas captured by cur forces has arrived in this city. Cortinas ia still oppres sing the Mexican population at Matamoraa. His motto is 44 walk in lemons and get squeezed," 44 shell out,-' I want $250,000 to tkedaddle on, for Johr.uy Crapeau i3 coming, uud it is necessary lor me tc retire to private life, a In Santa Anna.

Four or five hundred troops have arrive! it Mata moraa from Victoria, having been driven cut by the French. It is distant 60 miles from Matamoraa, and it will not be long before they will besiege our neigh be ring city. Cortioaa sent some 800 troops down towards the mouth of the Kio Grande to attack the French. A fight took place last evening, results not important. Some five or six Mexicans killed aud a numoer wouaded. lleavy firing heard last night. A growing coolness is apparent on the part of the Mexican authorities towards the Confederates engender ed, no dcabr, from tbe late visit cf :he Frer ch Repre sentations from the Admiral's squadron, acd his recep tion by Col.

The French are moving towards Matamoraa in three columns. Oue Irom Monterey, one from Victoria, tied now at San Francisco, and one will move from the mouth of the river. Gen. Vidauri is in possession of New Lorado. The citizens have pronounced in favor of the French. Nothing remains to be done to place the French in possession of tbe entire Mexicaa territory but the pos session of Matamoias and the State it is in, (Tamauli pas, and in three weeks that will te accomplished We will have a fine view of the fight from the city. Cablos. N. B. Sept. 2. Corticaa baa fled and the French are in possession of the city. TH3 FSEKCH If MATM0BA3. According to the Houston Telegraph the French oc cupied Matamoraa on the 2d inst. The capture of that city and Monterey gives them pcsaesBion of the North ern States of Mexico, and leaves no ground for the J uari3ta party to occupy. At last reports Cortina had -fled, Juarez had fled, Quitagu bad submitted, Vidauri was expected to do likewise, and hostilities have ac cordingly, ere this, ceased in that pait of the new em pire. Ysllow Ffveb in Galveston. Trans-Mississippi advices report the appearance of yellow fever at Gal veston, Texas. Several persons have already died from it.

The correspondent of the Mobile Register with the army of Tennessee, gives his views as to the poseible results of the military movements low going on in Geor gia. He says : 4 Oar columns are already in motion, and on a cam paign of aggression. We can win ; and, despite some to causes the contrary, I believe we will win. We may greatly win and present . again a fact, not rare in history, cf a defeated and dispirited army, catch ing a sudden enthusiasm, turning npon its victors, and sweeping them before it with irresistible valor. The tide of war maj in a few weeks' be rolled back to the Ohio. There is Dothing wanting to this end but the brains to lead and the resolution -to follow. The form er always evokes the latter. Wonder cot, then, if this army yet amaze the world by its giaat recuperation and its splendid heroism. The Confederacy may yet owe its deliverance, quickly won, to this ill used, much abused, beaten army of Tencesse. A wise general foresees everything, provides for every thing. He is never surprired, never confased, never in doubt what to do. He knows what he cando, end all tbat the enemy can do. Like a wiae ge; eral, let ua se what must result from our mve towards Sherman's rear. What are the relative conditions of- the two armies ? We are now as near Chuttanooga as Sher man's army. The armies are about equal in numbers. We can get the start of him, which, in war, is a great advantage. Our army is not at all e-icumbered with sick and wounded, ns Sherman's is, by thousands. His teams are poor and wetk, barely abfe to haul empty wagons over bad roads. Oar teams are fat, eleek and strong. We can march five, milea a dav further than Sherman, and therefore can beat bim at the race, and get in his rear ia short do that terrible thing called 44 flacking " But suppose tbat this is a mistake, and tbat be can travel as fast as we. Still tbat does not affect the success of the principal object of the cam paign. But what can he do woen he finds us in mo tion towarda Chitianooga ? He must do ona of tnree things. 1st. He remains iu Atlanta with all bis army. 2d. He leaves Atlanta with all his army, and follows us back to Chattanooga. 3d H-i leaves a garrison to hold Atlanta; and goes back with the remainder of his army. Now, it is self evident that he must do one of these things, and I defy human ingenuity to suggest bow be can avoid doing them, or do anything else. And do which be will, we gain aud he loses. It is not necessa ry to argue tbe supposition that he may plunge on still further into our country. If so, h' only renders his destruction more certain. Should be thua plunge on, to the Atlantic or tbe Gulf, he will starve on the way, or should he get through, we can move on to the Ohio. We thereby deliver North Georgia, North Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. We will make the exchange, and welcome to him. It remains then only to argue tbe three propositions. 1st. He remains in Atlanta with all bis army. Iu that event we throw ourselves across his railroad, and be inevitably starves. There is no help for it. 1 will not argue it. 2d. He goes back (evacuating Atlanta) with all his army. This I believe he will do. What results ? We win back Atlanta without theloaa of a mau cr the fir ing of a gun. He leaves also from 5,000 to 10,000 s ck and wouuded in our hands. He spent 115 days and 75,000 men to win Atlanta. By a flank movement we win it back 10 a day, without losing a man I How simple, at last, are tbe mysteries ol war ? 3d. He leaves a garrison in Atlanta and goes back with the remainder. In that case he sacrifices the gar rison, and in the meantime weakens his own army by their loss. It ia not to be supposed that he would so far violate tbe principles of scientific war, as thua to isolate a gar rison. But if he does, so much tbo better. Sooner or later the ganison must Ptarveand in the meantime it iashut up harmlessly, on the defensive. In any event, this terrible invasion becomes a failure and a farce. The only hope Sherman can have in such a case, is to pursue up, catch us, and badly defeat us. Then he might return to Atlanta. But if we have any brain?, he cannot catch us. We can fight him or not, as we choose. We ought not to fight soon, but make him follow us far back toward Chattanooga and secure the deliverance of Atlanta, whether we win the battle or not. We can make him fight us on our own ground. But we can whip him. By this movement our army will become enthused and his armyispirited. itloaa Mealing ot Fede ral Prisoners At a mass meeting, held September 28, 1864,by the Federal prisoners confined at Savannah, Georgia, it was unanimously agreed that the following resolutions be sent to the President or the United States, in the hope that he might thereby take such et'ps as in his wisdom he may think necessary for our speedy exchange or parole. Savannah Republican, Oct 3. Resolved, That while we would declare our unbounded love tor the Union, for the home ot onr fathers, and for the graves of th;'8e we venerate, we would beg most respect lnlly that our situation aa prisoners be diligently inquired into, and every obaUcle consistent with the honor and dig nity of ihe government at once removed. Resolved, That whilst allowing the Confederate authori ties all due praise for the attention paid to prisoners, num bers of our men are consigned to early graves, in the prime of manhood, far from home and kindred, and this is not caused intentionally by the Confederate government ; but by tte force of circurxsta' ces the prisoner is obliged to g) without (shelter, and m a greit portion of cates without uiedicice. Resolced, That whereas, ten thousand cf our brave com rades have desa&nded to an untimely grave withia the last -ix months, and as we believe their death as caased by the difference of climate, the peculiar kind and mtuffioeo cy ot food, and lack cf proper med cat treatment; and whereat, those d.ffi.uitits still remain, we would declare, as our firm bcl tf, ti at ualesa we aie apeed 'y txenanged, wo have no alternative but 10 share the lau,eni.aele fate oi ur comrades. Aiust to is thm aiill go o.? Is there no h.p?? . Resolved, That whereas, the cold acd ii clement season of tuo yew ia la-t approaching, we hold L 10 o our duly as soldiers and cit.zes ol the United otates, to iuf jrui ou' Government mat the mnjrity of tne pr.aonora a. e wHhoa proecr ciotbi g, ia some cases being almost uakrd, and ate without blaijkets to protect us Lorn ihe sc-rchmg auu by ay, or tne heavy dews by light, aud we wou.u moat re spectlully request the Government to make some arrange ueui whereby we can be supplied with ineae to us neces sary ariclea. Resolved, Tbat whereas the term of setvics of maay of out comrades having exf bed, they h'avieg uved truly and iaiih'ully ior tho terms of their several eniLttmnta, would most respectful.y && ol their government : Are they to oe forgotten ? are past services t a be ignored? Not hav ing seen their wivea and little one ior ovar three ears, they would most respectfully but firmly request the gov eminent to make some airugtinenta wherouy they can be exchaeged or paro ed. Resoiovd That whereas, in the fortune ct war, it was our iot to become prUoiitra, we have oufljred patiently, and are sub willing to kufier, it b so doing we Can benefit the country, but we would most reecifjliy beg to say iat we are not willing to suffer to lur'her tin ends of any party or clique to Ui detriment c" oar own noor, oar families ana our country ; and we would beg that this af fair be explained to us, that we may continue to hold the government in that respect which is necessary to cuke a good eitizen and aoldir. 8 P. B2ADLEY, Chairman of Com. in behalf ol prisoners. Genlbal Les at his Headquarters A corres pondent, describing a recent visit he made to the army around Petersburg, writes the Mobile Register : Wi found General iee quartered in a graesy yard, his ten's shaded by nobie trees. General Lte was in his tent, which is by no means a pretentious one, at the time of our visit, aud my cousin and myself strolled by in order to get a look at him. The old fellow w:s seated in a split bottom chair, engaged in reading one of the morning papers through a pair of spectacles. The back of his head was turnedo as, so that we were hardly, paid lor our pains of our sly observation. Not far from the great Captain's tent, the iDside of which looked very clean and cozy, was his ambaiance, and under it a number of chickeos were pecking about. One of them, a cock, is said to be a great pet witn tbe General, who baa had niru from the beginning of the war, and carries him wherever he goes. I suspect the secret of this apparent wnim is nothing more than a very rational desire ior irtsu iaia eggs ior Dreas last. for the rooster is not deprived ot bis haxen. in .

A press dispatch of the same date says that in the fight at Altoona on tie 5th our forces completely vanquished the rebels, who retreated precipitately, leaving in our hands between four and five hundred in killed and wounded. Another big lie. One report says that Forrest is en route for Florence from Lawiecceburg. Another account says that he is sur rounded. ( Important movements are still going on in Missouri. Late advices state that Gen. Price attempted to cress the Osage river at Castle Bock, bat was prevented by the Yankee trorps on the other side. As the river bad swol len, it was supposed that he would try to cross at another point. It is also reported tbat several bundrsd Confederate cav alry had crossod Missouri into Montgcmary county.

TUG COTIOif FAMI1IU IN ENGLAND. A book has recently made its appear rce in Enghnd, entitled 44 A History of the Cotion Famine in Eng land, fiom the fail of Sumter to llu Pasting of (he ''ublic Woiks Act." It was writteu by It A. Arnold, and ia interesting as showing the woudefudy recupera tive powers of truly industrial organizations, and how quickly a loss, however great, may be repaired by modem society. Fom copious extracts -published, we make a few condensations : The cotton famine ia England did not b?c'm until some time after the breaking out of the war. Upon the I authority oi tne iondon spectator, ir is stated 44 tbat tuts trade bad lor two jeara pieviouay been overstock ing the ntarketB of the worlu wan lavish pr. luaoi ebS.

With this enormous stock unsold, and u gene ral impression that the American crisis could act lust, no one wua Willing to give any very heavy price for raw material, and though the price roao it was not rapidly." Iu the year 1860 there were in fall operation iu Eng land 2,650 cauon lac lories, with 440,000 operatives, whose wages amounted to jEll, 500, 0U0 that year. Oi these people 96 per cent. wtre. aduhs, and 56 per ceut. females. A power equal to 300,000 hoi sea drove tho macQinery, which quick eyes and active lingers gov erned and guided.

Wneu tne fact was realized that the raw material must become scarce there was a very sudden depriva tion ot work fjr tbe operatives. Tub mills first began to work on half lime, though employing ulmoat their lull complement oi hands. Between January and Oc tober, 1862, eighteen uiuDtbs atleu' me breaking out of the conflict here, tbe mills closed their doors and almost a hail a million ol operatives were idle. - The history 01 tue famine says that the savings banks were depicted ot the haid earned having of tne poor operatives, to the full extent of their deposits.
