These are unde niable facts, and it does seem to us most ex traordiaarv that men will not see that the surest way to. bold our property, as well as to seouro our liberty, is lo maintain in our dealings the credit of the Confederate Gov ernment, and that the .'surest way of 'bring ing about the losi of both is to disparage that eredit. . -y :J : ' ' j The comparison of the Southern Confede- raev.'when it shall have -established its inde eigh for seven dollars.

I -. then turned iny. wagons and horses back towards' town, they were soon fitted' with women and children. .1 ordered tnem to te driven to mv houseomesix miles in the country, where they, remained during the night. . News soon came that they had taken Hamilton, and were pursuing the citizens and shooting tnoee wno didnotbalt when commanded,; and destroying almost everything before them,: but we-were in hopes that their raid for the present would not extend beyond the town, still later in tne mgnt there came a negro to my bed and requested me to arise and dress that the enemy was then sur- f rounding , the house of. one of my neignbors,-for hehad heard the shrieks of women and cniidren at my door. I met other neighbours who testified that they had seen the man of the house who had left hia wife and daughter to their fate. My God ! I cannot express the state of my feelings at such an idea.

In a short time I could hear them passing another road on the way to Tarbo ro, I then was in hopes that that would be the last of them, as I knew that our troops could if tney would, siaugnter tnen some distance on the remarkable State road and dense thickets that was On the road, which I thought a good place for ar tillery and infantry: In a few hours I heard their cavalry coming back as I supposed and hoped for their gunboats, but contrary to my expectations, they went into the interior on a very private road and thinly populated country for another road for Tarboro. .But finding that.didaot suit them, they then returned with with the whole army by my house, they stopped and placed, a guard around for the protection of my family, but they carried off sixteen horses and mules, took, all the poultry, robbed beehives, and stealing from the negroes.

The corn in the .fields un-r gathered hands gone teams stolen and the once wealthy far bier left to house his corn in a bas ket, and that to make, for all were stolen; that were kept in view.
