J i 8 i VICE PRESIDENT STEPHENS AT AU .i GUSTA, GA. . A great gathering of the people of Richmond I county, Ga., took place at Augusta on Thursday j-last, to hear aspeech from Vice President Stephens i on the subject of a cotton or produce loan to the Government. From a report of his remarks in the Augusta Constitutionalist, we extract the fol j lowing: ,f 1 do not know; said the speaker, whether- Mr. Lincoln can raise his required amount of men and Lmrtnav Kut if haHnpa. wa must he rpnfW to --mpftt ; MlJkJJ , . . . , - j jgf f -him, with men ana money, ana drive paca ms f- myrmidons from our soil. We have, at least, iipoti a reasonable estimate, 700,000 fighting men, and, if necessary, every man must go to the bat tle field. Mr. Lincoln should wroember, and we, j too, should reverentially remember, that the race I is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but that it is God who gives the victory j to the right. . - Six hundred thousand Persians, led by Darius against the Confederate States of Greece, furnish an example of freemen fighting Against greater odds tb an in our case. When this vast host in vaded Greece, those small States could raise but 11,000 men; these met a large portion of the enemy upon the field of .battle and put them to fight , 0,000 Persians being left dead upon the field, Men of the South ! let this war assume its most gigsfatic proportions, let us remuuiber that we are lighting lor everything that is dear lot u, like our fathers, appeal to the God of Battles for the justice oFour cause, and nerve ourselves for the con flict--remembering" that "thrice armed is be who hath his auarrel iust." This is really and in truth the secona war of The fundamental urincitjle of Amprican Constitutional Liberty ia that announ ced on the 4th of July, 1778, by the deputies of all the thirteen Colonies, whichffrora that day, cen stituted the original thirteen States-that all Gov rnments derive their iust powers from the con sent of the governed. Massachusetts Connecticut, RhnAn Talnnd. New York, and all the oiher Northern States, united with Georgia and all the other Southern States in proclaiming this great - urincinla tothe world, on that ever inenv rable inv: and for its maintenance the? pledged "Aheir lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor," and vet, strange to say, Massachusetts and all the other NorthernStatesareto-dayputting forth their utmost pnereies to coerce, subjugate, and govern eleven States against their consent and will. We stand where our fathers stood, battling for the same principles, and prepared to risk; as they did, everything for their maintenance. Whatever numberof men shall be required they . must be raised, equipped, and sent forth ito battle ; and whatever amount of money will beinecessary to support them in the field must be raised ; wheth er it be fifty millions, or a hundred millions, or tan hundred millions tier aDnum. The resources of the country are ample. The taxable property of the eleven Confedererate States, upon a rea sonable estimate, cannot be less .than four thou sand millions of dollars. The taxable property of Georeia alene last year was six hundred and sov- entv millions of dollars. The requisite amount miht not be easilv or readily raised by taxation The wealth and resources of our county do not "consist in money; they consist chiefly in produc tive capital. Tne ability of a people totmaintain y ivars, depends greatly upon the annual yield of its ;roductive capital, in tnu particular, pernaps, no npoole. of the same number in population in the world, are superior to us. - Our wealth consists mostly in agriculture. Our products command money. We grow staples of immense value, both intrinsis and extrinsic. Tins , w especially true of cotton it is the greatest mo . tor of commerce. Its money value,upon an average estimate, is about two hundred millions of dollars ix-.r annum. But it exerts a power far above its ;- money value. It puts' into operation thousands of millions of capital in Europeo say nothing of the large amounts lately (and until this war was waged upon us,) in operation by it in the North em States. " This staple must be had by other nations, by England and France, especially, or the greatest distress will be felt by the millions of their people who are dependent upon it for their daily bread. The plan of the Government for raising the means to crnry on the war, which is submitted to you to day, is to take a loan from the planters of the ne.t proceeds 6f such portion of their crops as they can spare. n other sections, loans on the proceeds if grain and breadstuff's will be taken. Here, we . produce cotton our surplus is cotton. Should the crop amount in value to the estimate of two hundred millions of dollars, and one-half te loaned in this way, the sum of one hundred , millions of dollars may be put within the control f the, Government, which, upon the basis of pre sent stiraates, would support an army of two hundred thousand in the field. This process could be kept up for years, if our enemies are so dispos- ed, without serious injuries to our resources ; and should Heaven favor us, as heretofore, with sea 's,, ns with the early and the latter rain we should have to resort to taxation only to pay the - intores;s-. on the bonds, and maintain the public ii edit The interests will havoto be paid by taxes ; and if the plan proposed by the Government is , not sustained by the planters, the money, willkbave to be raised by taxation. Even before this loan i-an be made available, a tax of fifteen million", to meet necessary wants may nave toe levied. It i-5 believed that' the planter6could do this yvithout,any serious inconvenience. For the pro ceeds of that portion of their crops so contributed, "tl)py will receive Government bonds bearing eight !. jr c-pnt. interest,' payable semi-annually. This they will receive instead of bank bills. The sub scription is in the following words: Here Mr. Stephei.s read the form of subscription to the - l"Hn- In answerno numerous inquiries, it might be . . pmpar to state that these bonds were intended to lo-answor the purposes of currency. They are not intended to pass as money. Upon their face they are ttansforable as notes made payable to bearer, but they are inasuited,in form and size, for a cur- rnc3 or a circulating medium. Tnat is not their ohj-x't. Thay are only intended to be given for . the surplus of 'the crop that portion which -the planter can spare over and above his immediate - wants-that which he is able to lay up instead of vesting in other properly. . Whether they will pay debts or not, will de j.ff:d very much upon the natureof the debts-. All 'who bold notes upon money lent looking to an nual interest, will doubtless take Confederate bonds , mi payment of such debts, and be glad to get them. : 1m. r the bonds will bear eight per cent, interest, io-t'tul ofseven and the interest will ba paid every ix months. Those, however, who ate in debt, had better first see their creditors, and know whether they will receive the bonds in payment. OY tbi? point it is important that no one should I'.- mistaken; the bonds are not suited or intended ns a currency, to meet the ordinary current ex penses and debts of .the family -and plantation. Ana .yet, there can be but little doubt that if any" one should sell his whole ; crop for bonds, and. s-hould want the money for them, he could easily and readily dispose of them to some person, who will have the money to lend. The entire amount f the money on private loan in the country will s.Min seek these bonds as an investment. The legislature, will, doubtless, at an early day, authorize ail trust funds.to be vested in theae slocks, which will cause a great demand for them. Should the war be a short one, the bonds at no ili-wiit day will very certainly command a premi umthat is, if we succeed In-the war and estab lish our independence. -In that alternative, they will be the very best security and the very best fit-vestment. The other alternative he did not lake nto the account that is, the contingency of our bring beaten in the contest. Should such a calam v befall us, candor required him to say that the b.nda would be worth nothing. But even then thoy would be worth as much as anything else wo have. In that event lands would be worth noth ing, plantations would be worth nothing, cotton would be worth nothing. So that If we ' suc ceed, the bonds will be a good investment? and if wo iail, they will be just as good as anything else. A to the duration of the war, we could not gi e them even a probable conjecture. In every view of the subject, it was a most irrational and unnatural war. Those who were waging it would j uiju an reasonable principles, be the greater; sufferers from it. They lived by their trade.their; vmuiuerce, ineir navigation t their manufactories ll of which they enioved chiefly with Us. Than orthern States sold to the Southern not less, per l.apa, than two hundred and fifty millions of their products annually. The market is cutoff; with that, the resources of their wealth and prosperity are Cut off. How long thev can stand this, is be yond human ken to divine. ' When fanaticism ass for reason to attempt eve.n ling, however, be thought he ii,flrlni. and that was, that speculation. One could affirm with ' the war would hut-until the enemy was wnippea and driven oor KYb-nd the best way to wuu them soon, and drive them from the country and end the struggle, was to send men enujn lo ao atonce, and subscribe money enough to sustain those men in the field. .... He concluded with a complimert to tne laai'-s though the topics he had dicscussec reiaieu rather i the action of men, yet women c uld ex ert griat influence in carrying out the objtjcu of the Government in its policy tne lnuuenco w man was great in any department or lire, iuuuu wars were not the proper spnero or meaue iui them : but even In war their influence neia sway over the hearts and spirits of tiose engaged in battle. JUany a soldier upon me uvuo-uaU would feel encouraged in the hour of conflict, when he thought that a mother's prayers and the thoughts and hopes of some fair one were follow ing him to the scenes of his trials and his dan gers. He was proud to say that tne men o u.s native State (Georgia) bad done their amy a.iu were still willing to do more; and the women, baoo, have done tneir part, arauous as u ia. N :, . . ., I. j: I 1 A nnWr several oi tne counties tae lauiea iibu uuim in the wav of providing garments and comlorts for the volunteers. And Old Richmond, too, had acted nobly: teri comjianies in the hold neany one-half her voting population anu oiu. ready to go while the women had done their duty as nobly as the men. This, he felt, was no small compliment to tbem. But there was Etill one way more in which they might aid the cause. Perhaps some of them had been promised a new set of furnilure,.oi s jme other luxury. Let them giv to their husbauds, UI can do' without th's now give its value ;ive all you can to the causa, of your country." He felt sure they would not hesitate to do this. To the men he would say, that he did not want them to subscribe now go home, think over the matter, think of their home3, and their firesides think of subjugation and then do your duty. I now leave the subject, said the speaker, with you, with your country, and God. Mr Stephens then sat down amidst the most en thusiastic applause. MILITARY TYRANNY. "From the Danville Register, July 4. There is no fact which has been more fully verified and more despondingly acknowledged in the war annals of the past, than that the comman der who tyranizes over his own troops in the camp is the vanquished part- on the field of battle. Strici.but at the same time humane, military disc-inline is the sine aua non of an efficient soldiery. He wiho has more than a limited knowledge of human nature, land a beart that can feel as well as abrain that can think, can enforce the most rigid rules known to the code of modern warfare, with out forfeiting the confidence, while he wins upon the esteem and affection of the soldier under his command. Such "a commander on the field of battle can achieve a victory over three times the forces opposed llo him, if the commander of those forces is his antipodes in tne connaence, esteem and affection df his men. Some men when prematurely raked to n posi tion which is pleasing to their pride and gratify ing to vanity fi'd self-estaem, imagine that they iave spontaneously grown famous, and can scarce iv realize the 'giddy heightof such a- "mountain elevation," They are conscious, however, of one fact: "that the V are not the same individual !"' The idea that they have suddenly undergie a trans mutation, similar to that which attends the change of the caterrillar into tne butterfly, Decmes a ru ling piania. In their bewildered judgments, all of what the French call hauteur must be instantly assumea. inetormer companion, wno nas oeen lees accidentally fortunate, is instantly forgotten and the new-iUade officer struts about the camp with all the vanitv of the peacock, all the as sumed gravity of the horned owl, and simply all of the military skill and genius he had be fore. ; . Not so, however, with the man of true military skill and genius. He knows too well, that in-the hour of battle the soldier's arm ia the one "on which healoqe can rely for the preservation of laurels won, and the future laurels which grace the conoueror's brow. Consequently he is not onlv. in the hours of repose, as well as action anxiously solicitious for the pro! ection, preser va tion,: com fort and encouragement of those entrust- ed to his care. There is ever a golden chord of sympathy in his bosom, sensitively alive to that cordial response which should ever be given to the calls of suffering humanity within-'the pale of -his authority. Ever strict in military discipline ever laff-ible in bearing towards his inferiors in rank; ever careful of the comforts, feelings and wishes of his soldiers, he wins upon the anection of alt to an extent that makes it a pleasure for them; even to:offer up their lives as a sacrifice in their-country's cause, when led to battle by such a leader. j When, however, even Northern hirelings, who like the Spaniel expects to be alternately caressed and kicked, are placed under the command or. man like thejdastardly tyrant at Fortress Mon roe, who appears to live and breathe alone in an atmosphereengendered by the commission he ho'.ds under a would-be despot, nothing more cpn be ex pected from them in the hours of inactivity, but disgust, discontent and loathing. These feelings are taken from the tent to the battlc-beld, and there unnerve the arm, dampen the military ar dor, and tool often produce humiliating defeat when, under different auspices, victory would have Deencertaini - B "If I lovea man I will die with him; if I hate a man he may die by himself," was the language of a soldier wiho bad foughtdn one half of the bat tles of the ! French empire. As it was with him,; so it is jwith thousands now engaged in the present war. j Reverge is sometimes stronger than patriotism; aM the soldier may be temited to forfeit the battle in the hope of crushing the com mander.. Those who have large bodies or even companies ofjmen under their eontrol, should bear in mind that? we ara fighting agaimt tyranny and usurpation; riot for the privilpge of being tyran ized over, fhis fact is as well known to the sol dier as to the, officer, and hence, the nectssity of mutual respect, and confidence and esteem. . ' t From the Baltimore Sun. t CAPTURE OF COLONEL RICHARD 1 THOMAS. On Sunday, from information received of the whereabouts of several parties charged with hav ing participated in the riot of th 19th of April, Lieut. Carmfchael, of Col. Kenlv's police with another, left bn a tug boat for Falrhaven, and suc ceed! in thd arrest of Cornelius Green and an other. Col.j Richard Thomas, of St. Mary's, who is allegpd to have ben engaged in the capture of the Sf. Nicholas and the three schooners laden 'with coaL ice and coffee, got on board the steamer Washington; at Milestone landing cn the Patux ent river, for the purpose of coming to this city. When the boat reaehed Fairhaven the officers got on board with their prisoners, and among " the L passengers a! road y on board were the crew of tb ot. iNicnolas and those or tne capturea aenoone-s. At this point the friends of Col. Thomas remoh- strated Against his coming to Baltimore, though they were ignorant of the presence of officers on board, but he persisted in his determination, and agaiost (ill treaty that could be used he declared that ;he would come up. Shortly after the boat left; he pilot of the schooner which was laden withicoffa iaformed the officers of the presence of Colonel Thomas, and they at once arrested him. They then rew their pistols and took their posi tions oni the quarter deck to prevent the possibility of escape by the small boats. Col. T.t at once determined; to leave the boat if possible, but no opportunity was afforded him. Capt. Weems was theii ordered to stop at Fort McHenry, and on reaching trjat point all the prisoners and witnesses an jaggtegate'of about twenty men, were landed but Coll Tl was not to be found, and the order was givan to push off, after the boat had been thor oughly searched in every part; just a3 the boat left tne wDarr,; nowever, ne was lound in a bureau in tbonadies'jcabin,-where" some of the lady passen gers had concealed him, and he too was landed at the: Fort.

Forbes and a map nameu James Tongue were arrested butith'M-e was nothing upon which to hold them and Tongue showed that he had just received an appointment as light house keeper from the ad mifiistratijon.

From the New Orleans Picayune of the 11th. we find the following of the affair at ShrpT Island, which has been briqflyotieed in our paper : On Thursday las?, the 4th inst., Captain Hig gin?, formerly of b United State Navy, and now oftbe Confederate Army, and aid de-camp to Major General Twiggs, fitfed out the steamer Oregon, by Capiat A. L. Myers, and also the steamer S vaim, Lieut. Warley, C. S. N., com manding, fr thepurpose of driving the enemy out of the MisiiSeiDpi Sound. The steamers sail ed on Friday last both well armed and manned and prcceded as far as Bay St. Louis where they had provided themselves with sand. They left at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, for the cruising ground of the enemy theSwaim taking the main land or passage, an.i the Oregon the outside, and proceeded to Ship Llan Pas?. Finding no enemy in right. The Oregon pro ceeded to sea from Siip!,Island, and soon taw two vessels, and gave chase.. vJTbey proved to be two fishing smacks of our owb4 The Oregon tLe returned to Ship Island, find Gapt. Higgins, who was in command of thu expedition, deemed it au visable to take poss'-sion of Ship Island. Accor dingly he signalized the Swaim to come to and go alongside tbeSwaim, and both proceeded to disem bark the men and munitions of war, provisions, &c, wbieh was done tn very short time consider- ng the had no derricks for hoisungouttne guns. Atter the disembarkation, the grins on the b mts were put io battery, protected by sand-bags. Ihe Swaim was lert at the island while tne Uregcn proceeded t New Orleans via Pass Christian, ior the purpose of seeding a dispatch to Gen..Twigg8 to send torwara reinrorcemenis or ammunition and men. The Oregon then proceeded lo New Orleans, where she arrived on Sunday morning, and was immediately ordered to take cn-4board guns, gun-carriages and munitions to reinforce Ship Island, Mai jr-General Twiggs and Captain lllggins anu JJiajor oiuim using every ihkmuh , . , .Lr ... - rnu . . c t r - , . j o : .

The Oregon followed lha samenight at 11 oclck, with nrovis ions, and proceeded directly to Ship Island. At 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when within eight miles of the fort on bhip Island, Capt. M.y ers saw a large U. S. steamer an a tender lying t fi" about two miles outride the island. At this moment our troops at the sand batteries opened lire on the stOHnier, which was immediately return ed, and thfl battle commenced in good earnest. The Grpy Cloud coiu'.ng up slowly the Oregon took off her ammunition and proceeded at once to the tcaneol action Major Smith directing the G. ay Cloud to fjllow at a safe distance. Having arrived at tin island Capt. ilyers pro ceeded at once in his yawl, with' Major Smith with a load of shell and powder, being received with cheers by Capt Ihom, or toe (J. b. marines and the sailors' and soldiers, who at once carried the supplies to the batteries. The enemy had fired seme .thirty-odd rounds of shell and round shot which sank in the s nd, and were used hv our gal lant sailors in roturing fire. The est plosion of the enemy's shells did no other damage than slightly to ii.iure one man in the leg. The steamers immediately commenced landing their guns and provisions, during which lime the enem again opened nre, tne snot tailing snort but being returned with great effect. I is supposed that the attacking steamer the Massachu.-etts, was hulled three times, and a shell was seen to explod over her decks, which it, is presumed, did great damage, as she immediately hauled on and put fo the Cnandeleur Islands, a distance df twelve miles lrom our batteries. Great credit is due to Mai. Gen. Twiggs and Capt. Higgins for. the expeditions and promt manner in which the island has been fortified and defended. THE CONFEDERATE LOAN. For the information of those who may desire to invest in the securities of the Confederate States we publish the law under which the loan advertised in the Register is authorized,together with the pro vision for securing the prompt payment of inter est and the final extinguishment of the whole debt: AN ACT. To raise money fur ihe support oj ihe Govcvnmen and to provide fur ike defence of the Confede rate States of America. Section 1.

Approvkd, 28:h February, 1861. D-Quincey thus speaks of Pompey. Substitute the name of Scott for that of the Roman states man and soldier, and mark the singular justness of the description: The position of Pompey, a3 an old invalid, from whom his parly exacted the services of youth, is worthy of separate notice. There is not, perhaps, a more pitiable situation than that of a veteran reposing upon his pafct laurels, who is summoned from beds of down, and from the elaborate system of comforts engrafted upon a princely establish-; ment, suddenly to reassume his armor to pre pare for personal hardships of every kind to re new his vouthful anxieties, without support from youthful energies once again to dispute, sword in band, the title to his own honors to pay back into thffchaneery of war, as into, some fund of abeyance, all his own prizes and palms of every kind to reopen every deenion cr award by which he had ever benefitted and to view his own na tional disictions of name, trophy,' laurel crown, as all but so many stakes provisionally resumed, which must be redeemed by t-vioea tenfold more difficult than these by which originally they had been earned. HOW GUNPOWDER IS MADE. The' first knowledge of gunpowder, among European nations, was in the 14tn century, a German monk named Swartz b.iflg regarded as the inventor; butthat gunpowder was known thousands of years ago by the Hindoos and Araos certain. Ancient writers speaa: oi a people iving near the Ganges that attacked their ene mies "with thunderbolts shot from their walls;" and ''with storms of lightnings and'thunderbolts hurled from above." These were as far bick as Alexander thuGreat, 300 B. C Hindoo annals as far back as the time of Moses speak of it. Gunpowder is composed of saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal ; and its operation is founded on the ranid combination and consequent expansion oi gasses, se. free by combustion of its parte. The oropotion of the ingredients used differs according r . L. . .. ii l ; . Tk TT; to ine USe lO wuicu iuo jwwucr i jiui,. iuo ui- ted States Government formula 75 pavl salpetre, 12 5 sulphur, and 12 5 charcoal. We give some of the various receipts in a Saltpetre. .........75 table. Sulphur. Charcoal. U. S ... 12 5 ! 10 9 ' 8 20 125 Eng.

Dogwoodisalso very good It should be charred at a temperature of 500 deg. The English cjlinder gun powder derives its name ironi charcoal made in cyunuricai won healed to a red heat. The manufacture of gunpowder is an operation reauiring skill. The saltpetro and sulphur 'are first refined, the former by solving in water and the latter by fusing. Jicb ot tne ingretiionis are then ground to powder and bulted. They are then carefully weigned ana mixea iu a trougu uiauo for the purpose. The compound is then put into the mill, 50 lbs. at a time, which is made cf two revolving castiron rollers of three tons weigh', revolving on a ca.st-iron plate, and ground three hours. It is kept moistened all tne time witn water, to orevent'its forming dust. It is then taknout of the mill, and in drying. forms cakes called mill cakes. These are then broken ud between grooved wooden roller", and intro duced into hydraulic press, of 120 tons to the tquare foot. The mixture comes out this pres sure in flat sheets halj an men tniru. n is iaon broken up and sifted. It is then glazed by being placid in a barrel, 200 lbs at a time, and revolved forty times a minute. By this operation the edges of thegrains and the loose particles on tham are taken off by friction. - . The quality of powder may bo judged of by its tirmnets and uniformity, and by its nt being easily crushed by the fingers, nor readily soiling them. A sample flhed on white paper should blacken it but little, and not inflame it. t Powder beingwet, and dried again, deteriorates in strength, though i'.slillmay be used. A very powerful gunpowder is made by mixing two. parts of chlorate of potassa with one of white sugar, and one ferrocyiad of potassium. This, when granulated, is white. It will not absorb moisture, and may bo readily made. Care should be taken thatno charcoal or sulphur ba introduced. It is not tit for iron nuns, because it oxydizes them rapidly '; but for brass guns, or bomb-shell, it serves an equally good, it not better purpose, than ordinary gunpowder- GENERALS IN THE CONFEDERATE STATES SERVICE.

Gregg and his command the Richmond Dispatch of Monday last says: "Since writing our notice of this regiment, which appeared on Friday last, we have had the pleasure of an interview with iu veteran com mander, Col., Gregg, and are happy to learn that neither be nor hi officers nor men have any idea of abandoning Ihe war. It is the purpose of Col. G. to remain in Richmond for a few weeks and await the return of his command, who are in the meantime to enjoy a brief visit to their homes. Too much praise cannot bn awarded to Col. Gregg and the chivalrous, self-sacrificing spirits he has tho honor to lead. They have always been the first to take the field in their country's cause and they delight to be in the thickest of the fight. Col. Gregg himself returned from the Mexican war with a high reputation as a com mander, and the deeds of valor performed by the South Carolina Iroops in that war covered - the Stat with imperishable renown. ""We have heard it sa'd, and have no reason to doubt that it proceeded from high authority, that Col. Gregg has been looked upon a one of the most efficient and .competent commanding officers in the department of the Potomac, and his men as the most thoroughly disciplined and effective body of men on the field. They have bad but one brush with the eaemy that at Vienna. For their own sakes, we almost wish a cessation of hos tilities in that quarter until they resume theirpo sition as a part of the advanced column of General Beuregard's army. 'In these remarks we do not desire to disparage the other regiments from the same State, or those from any other part of tho Confederacy. The proficiency we commend is due, in a great measure, to the advantages the "First have pos sessed lrom a more lengthened preparation and service THE NORTHERN REBELLION. Under this caption the Harrisburg (Pa.) Union and Patriot, hitherto a strong war journal, thus ouches upon anew danger which is beginning to threaten the North: Are our readers aware that a rebellion against the authority of the Government is organizing at the North lhat treason is rearingits ugly head in the midst of the very party that professes the most determination in putting down the rebellion attheSoulh? It is even so. Daily attempts are now being made to array the army against the Government, and so set the military above civil authoiities. uauy- tnreata are made that if the war is not j pusnea lorwara witn more vigor, the army will act upon .its own responsibility ; and that if a com promise is effected three hundred thousand men in arms will not disband without administering law according to the code of Judge Lynch. Af ter all the beautiful prattle about the Constitution, the Union, and the enforcement of the laws, coming from those who have spent years in tramp ling upon the Constitution, deriding the Union and violating, the laws, the old, law-defying in stincts have once more gained the - mastery and revolution is now the watchword. Then Gov ernment must blunge headlong into the vortex of civil war or be trodden under the iron heel of military depotism. . Jos. A. Mabry, Esq has -offered to furnish a hundred horses to a cavalry company of one hun dred to be raised in East Eennessee. Threeor four ladies of Mecklenbirg County, N. C, have provided themselves with hospital stores, and gone td Yorktown, Va., to nurse and provide for the stck aoldiersa i ' - FROM EUROPE. The New York Herald editorially sums up tie recent news from Europe as follows: ' The news from Europe by the Persia , brings us some very important information witn respect to the progress and prospects of the Eureopean coalition f France, England and Spain against the in'egnty of the Uuion. This is embraced in the letters of our o respondents in Pris and Lon don and ihe extracts from our foreign files pub lisbed this morning. Wo give the exact text of the artacle lately published in the M'nileur, in which Najo!on foreshadows the leognition of the rebel Confede racy as an independent Power. It is interpreted by our Paris correspondent exactly in the sense in which we read the translation received by the Etna, and the writer adds that it would have been embodied in a diplomatic circular addressed by M. Thouvenel to the French Ministers at Foreign Courts, as illustrating to tbeui theexaci position of his Majesty the Emperor towards Italy and America. Messrs. Mann, Yancev and Rost, the rebel Commissioner?, were in Paris. They reported tiial Great Britian would soon recognized the re bel Government, but the statement was not very generally credited, although it was believed both in Paris and Loudon that the Briiisii Cabinet were very anxious to do so, if its chief members bad a plausible excuse. Captain iRussell, who was comrnisioned by Na poleon to report to him on the performance of the Great Eastern during her late trip to and from New York, was also in Paris, and volunteered, it would seem, the opinion thai two separate repub lics would,; of necessity, have to exist here. Mr. Russell also added that, in his opinion, the armies would not i engage in any serious conflict. Itis adced that Napoleao will act with ' cau tion 'in the matter, corresponding only f.r thetime with the Cabinet iu Wishington. Secession was advocated openly in London by many emissaries of the rebels. J inepuDfic.minaot England was becoming ve'y much i xcited oa the question of an interruption of ' the CJtloi supply. Considerable distress existed in Liuchshire, and much apprehension, as to the conaeq. eaces likely to resell from empty cotton wanh. Uies and idle mills, is exprjse! in the pa pers. ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS. Lieut. J. t Sober merhorn, of the Alabama Regiment, and Corporal Collins, ot the Orleans Cadet", toe' her with a squad of six privates, ar rived in Richmond yesterday, via York River Railroad, in charge of a number ofprisoners lately captured in the vicinity of Yorktown. On their arrival they carried the Hessians before the Ad jutant General, who ordered them to be confined in thedepoton Main street. Eleven of the pris oners were taken in the fight n sar Be hel ladt Fri day ; two are members of an Abolition regiment formed of th'j scum of Baltimore, who were taken by our scouts, just as they were coming over to deliver themselves up. Our men think- they were out foraging and got in a tiht place, which is not u dikely is the true solution of th matter. One of the prisoners is a man who has been living near B-uh:l for a number of years, and who has been in tiie habit lately of giving the enemy informa tion of the movements of our troops, their number, &c. lie w rjid soul itimes resort t ttia artifice of coming into thecamp and sidling a few ginger cakes, and taking a few observations depart for tho congenial cjmpanionship of bis Abolition alli:-s.

The Richmond correspondent of the New Or leans Delta; wye: While the Lincoln Administration is assiduous ly studying military aeronautics under Professor Lowe, and the Professor is conducing to his own amusement and pecuniosity by humbugging Lin coin, oewara ana ocott witn nis icnal romances. the Confederate Government is engaged to much mure practical purpose in organizing a system -f military telegraphy, with the assistance of an ex perienced and energetic telegraphist, Mr. J T. Colwell, late of Washington and now Telegraph ic bupetntendent tor .Eastern Virginia and Notth Carolina Mr. Colwell is now having the wire made for this purpose in Richmond; and when this i9 finished it is purposed to furnish a portion of it t every important division of the army, together with a field apparatus and opera tors to work them. This kind of telegraph re quires no posts. The wire, which is insulated, can b" unwound from a sort of reel, and taken as fast as a horse can trot, trailing on tha ground, through bushes or through water, to any point along his lines with which a Gflneral may wish to communicate. The apparatus is placed on small tables which can be readily conveyed by hand. The advantages of this system are as obvious as they are great. Should a great battle take place, for instance, between Man nutans JuncMon ard Washington, it would rage a'o'g an extent of perhaps eight or ten miles. The power of instant communication of orders, or instant receipt of in telligence, over such a field, when the day was perhaps hanging on oneword, and that promptly given, is beyond all estimation. HESSIAN VILLAINY. A Yankee, named Stephens, Adjutant of one of the Vermont Regiments, thus speaks of his exploits while on the road to Great Bethel : On reaching the bend of tho road I observed a horseman coming at full speed towards jne. On reaching the house he turned in, which induced me to think him a Secessionist. I ordered him to dismount and surrender. He cried out ."Who are you?" answer, 'Vermont!" "Then raise your piece, Vermont ; I am Col. Duryea, of the Zouaves;" and so it was. His gay looking red boys just appeared turning the corner of the road, coming towards us. He asked me the cause of fir ing in the rear, and whoe premises we were on. I told him he knew the first as well as I did, but as to the last could give full information ; that the house belonged to one Adjutant "Whiting, who, just before, had sent a bullet whizzing by me, and shot one of my boys, and that my greatest pleasure weuld be to burn the rascal'aftouse in payment. "Your wish will begratified at once," said the Col onel. "I am ordered by Gen. Butler to burn ev ery house whose occupant or owner lires upon our troops. Burn it." He leaped from his horse, and I upon the steps, and by that time three Zouaves were with me. I orde'red them to try the door with the butts of their guns ; down went the door, and in we went. A well-packed travelling-bag lay upon a mahogany tabl. I tore it open, with the hopes of finding a revolver, but did not. The first thing I took out was a white linen coat; I laid it on the table, and Col. Duryea put a lighted match to it. ; Other Clothing was added to thepile, and soon we had a rousing fire. Before leaving, I went into the large parlor in the left wine of the houje ; it was perfectly splendid. A large room with a tapestry carpet, a nico piano, a fine library of miscellaneous books, rich sofas, elegant chairs with superior needle work wrought bottoms, what nots in the corners, loaded with articles of luxury, tate and refinement, and upon a mahogany centre table lay a Bible and a lady's portrait. The last two article? I took, and have them now in my pos session. I also took a decanter of most excellent old brandy from the sideboard, and left the burn ing bouse. Thk "Was Cry. Beauty and Booty Inscribed on. their Banners We have heretofore informed our readers that the war cry of the Northern Van dals, the would be subjugators of a free people, was "Beauty and! Booty," the same userl by the Brit ish when njarching upon New Orleans. The submiasionists hereabouts, the apologists for the Lincoln invaders, have neon swift to deny the fact and have even gone so far in toryism aa to abuse Southern peop'e for denouncing the atrocity. Now, we have never doubted that such was the war cry, and another indisputable fact we have, and that is, that a regiment paraded the streets of New York with the identical war cry inscribed on their banners. Citizens of Louisville saw the banner, and plainly read the motto Bkautt and Booty. This was the banner they marched un der, and its appearance on the streets of New York was rapturously received and welcomed with he the loud shouts of the multitude. LouisvilU Con ner. LOAN FOR THE P FKJCE OF THE . CONFEDERATE STATES. . j hj a communication from tfc Hon. C. O. Memmin gor, Secretary of -the Treasary t the Confederal States, theuTdersigoed have been requested to act as 'the Central Board of Commifslonars for the State of North Carolina," to present to the attention of the oirisens of this State the Loan anthemed by the act of Congress of the Confederate States, approved Feb ruary 23th, 1861, and to solicit subscriptions to the same, and we are further requested to appoint Local ComniiS8iofler8 at such places as we may deem advisa ble, to act for the purpose indicated. The gross amouatof this loan cm not exceed $15, 000,000, of which sum $5,0U0,000 was called for in March last, and a second call Tor the remainder is now made. " Bonds with coupons for accruing Interest in sums from $1,000 to $i0, or stock certificates, injthe usual l'rm (it preferred) will be issued. The interest is eight per rent, per annum, payable smi-amiaally at all 6f onr principal cities. The principal money is payable ten years after Sep tember 1st next, the Gcvernaient reserving the right (upon giving three months public notice) of paying any portion of this Loan at the expiration of five years afterSeptember 1st. Subscriptions will be received in current Bank notes at par, or certificates of deposit of any one of the Banks of this State in good credit at the Capital, and tae subscriber will taen receive a receipt furnished by the Treasury Department, which entitles him to its exebauge fo Bonds or Stock to bear interest from date. This Loan is authorized for the support of the Gov ernment, and to provide for the defence of the Confed erate States of America, and it certainly cannot be be necessary that we should make an extended appeal to iSortn Carolinians to induce tbom promptly to come to the aid of their Qovernment in the crisirnow existing. North Carolina has severed her connection with the (iovernment of the United States, aad become an in tegral part of the Government of the Confederate States oi America. Her people, through a Coavention regularly constituted, representing the sovereignty, the supreme power in oar State, have unanimously de clared and ordained this to be so, and no loyal citizen of North Carolina will ever be unmindful of his faith, his duty and his honor thus plighted. This new political relation of our State is not how ever reoognired, and in common with the others of the Confederate States, she is menaced with subjugation by the Government of the United Stater. That Gov croment, in its madness, hiuyletermined that the peo ple of the Confederate States shall be compelled, by military force, to submit to ber dominion, and already large armies nave been mustered te conquer and sub due us. Already Virginia, our' sister State and near est neighbor on the North, is invaded, and a war thus exists, wbkh on'our part is strictly one of defence. To the Government of the Confederate States we have granted the power, ard on that Government have imposed the duty of providing for our defence. To do this successfully, and to bring this war to a speedy and triumphant issue, it is indispensable that the govern meet should be promptly sapplied with the necessary means, and from its very recent.organitation, itcannot be supposed to have these at its command from its or dinary sources of revenue. They must be supplied, and the alternative is, tnat they must be raised ou tte credit of the Government. The loan now offered, bears eight per cent, interest per annum, payable semi-jinnuall; a profit which should sa'isfy any who may invest in it. The security the value of this investment, depends upon tne same basis, on wbi'D depends the security and the value of the lands, slaves and all other pro perty of every citizen of our State. On the euceesgful operation and stability of the Government under which we live, depend alike our rights of property and the value of the securities issued directly on the faith ot the Government. - - Jn addition, however, to the security for the pay ment of the principal and interest of this debt euaran teed by the pledged faith of the Confederate States, a dut' of one eight of one per cent, per pjund.on all cotton in the raw state exported from the Confederate States (about 62 cents per bale) specially provided ; nd the continuance ot this duty until the extinguish ment of this debt, or until a sinking fund adequate to that end is provided, is guaranteed in the act author izing the loan. For the defence of the Confederate States, the young men of North Carolina from all portions of our State have volunteered in numbers beyond the demands of our tate authorities, and .this has been done with such promptness and zeal as to have excited the ad miration of all. Money, however, is as indispensable as men. Together they constitute the great sinews of war. Will tnose ot our citizens, who have not offered their parsons for the common defence altogether fail in sustaining the cause of their country in this her hour ot trial.' There are-certainly but few whose means are so limited as to justify them iu withofding a subscription for the small amount f $50, while there are thousands who should not hesitate to invest largely-of their mora ampl ui a&ns. . . Let every citizen of North Carolina consider and de cide as to the extent of his investment in this loan, as though on his particular action depended the ability of the Confederate States to preserve their existence as a nation, and their ability to defend and proteot Lu properly, his home and his family. It eommenus it self to the favorable consideration and united co-op eration of our people, whether of large or of small means, by every incentive a? well of interest as of patriotism, and we foel thoougMy assured they will respond to this call with such spirit as will sa'isfy our sister States of our fixed confidence in the integrity and stability of the Government with which we have linked our destiny. Let us then prove our faith by our pets Subscribers will designate the particular security desired, (whether Bonds or Stocks,) and will at the time of subscribing pay in full the amount .taken.
