tham dbsely coonected with' the history of God's
I "pecullae, people., and each q them Wgblyig-
nuicant in iU meaning. Betboi u suggesuveoi
aa interesting event In the life of Jacob, the pa
triarch from whom iall Israel should be named.
It at once recalls' the'memory of the fugitive end
wanderer? from hisl father'a house, when fleeing
to eicape the faU which his brother'a wrath would
have forced upon him How gloomy the cir
enmstances which then clonded the hopes of the
exile, aa he laid - hia weary head npon the pillow
of stones? How appromising for one who had
indulged the hope that in -his seed, which were
to he more numerous"' than the sands upon the tea
shore, all the nations of the earth should be
blessed I He was nlbbe, friendlesfi,and seemingly,
forsaken. In the Very depths of solitude and
silence, when wearipesa and exhaustion came up
on him, he lay down to rest. But what a view
was opened to him theref when heavenly visitants
came. down, on errands of mercy ; touched the
eye-lids of the sleeoper, and lifted again the hopes
uf the fainting outcast 1 All the pledgee of the
past were renewed, whilst he was specially assured
that he would be again brought into tbe land
from which he was then driven. "And Jacob
awakened out of his sleep, and bo said, Surely the
Lord is in-thia place; and I knew it not."N And
he called tbe nnrae of that place, Bethel, which
signifies the house of God." Here, his drooping
spirits-were cheered, and the pledge of Divine
protection renewed. It was a Bather indeed, -and
no wonder that Jacob set up a pillar to commemo
rate tbe great expedience oi that occasion.
And there, have been other Bethels. Whilst
God did not speak audibly to the little baad of
heroes assembled at Bethel, on tbe 10th of June
last, yet, the wonderful deliverance vouchsafed to
them, in that they were enabled to hurl back four
or five times their numbers, and strew the plain
with the enemy's dead, whilst of their own num
ber, not a man, save one, was slain and he, by
rashly exposing himself indicate Divine inter
position in behalf of those who are ttruggliog for,
their homes against the.hosts of the invader. It
was " the house ef God, and the gato of heaven,"
which served as a shield to them or tht oc
casion ; and, therefore, let it be known as Bethel,
forever.
Mannasseh, or Manassas ; what glorious associa
tions cluster around this name. It was that borne
by the -first born of Israel, in Egypt. After
Joseph bad endured outrage and wrong at tbe
hands of his own brethren, and had passed through
a bitter experience in the'land of Egypt the land
whither he had been carried captive the bfessftig
came "on the head of Joseph, and the crown oJ
the head of him that was separattd from
his brethren," He was loaded with honors,
and children were born unto him. Ha called bis
first born Mannasseh, signifiyin forgetfulness,"
obliteration of all that bound him to tho past ;
for, said he,. "God hath made me forget all my
toil, and all my father's house." And we have
had our Manasseh from which we had good rea
son to infr the favor of Providence. ,And it
served, morevcr, to extinguish any longings we
might have indulged up to that time, for a restor
atien to oor father's bouse which shod'.d be for
ever, to us, a land of strangers. Our late Brethren
of the North have have served us even worse
than Joseph's brethren did him ; for they spared
his life, though they sold him into captivity;
whilst our brethren would destroy both our free
dom and our lives. Lej Manasseh serve to oblit
erate all the pleasant recollection we have ever bad
of them.
We come now to Shiloh, which means "Sent."
It was associated in the minds of the Israelites with
the annointed Deliverer who has who was to be
sent in due time. ;The Shiloh, or Sent, wts
foreshadowed in the glorious vision of Jacob,
whep revealing t the patriarchs what should
"befall them in tbe last days." After the forty
years wanderings of the Israelites i'n the wilder
ness, and when their enemies had been driven rut
of the land of their fathers, they came an set up
the tabernacle at Shiloh. Tbe land was then
"subdued before them," their inheritance secured
and the tabernaelp, tbe symbol ot their faith and
hope, which they bad borne through the flood and
through the wilderness, wa3 pitched for the last
time on the plains of Shiloh. And thus the "taber
nacle of God was with men." Set up at Shiloh,
it prefigured theSent, the Anointeo, the Deliverer,
the Sniloh that was to come.
One need but think of the calamities by which
we should have been weighed down, had not the
Great Ruler ot Nations secured us such a signal
deliverance at Shiloh, to enable him to estimate
tbe importance of that victory. It was a terrible
overthrow of a vain glorious, boastful and cruel
enemy, and calls for our devout acknowledgments
to the Giver of all good. Henceforth, "BetheT,
Manasseh and Shiloh will be as distinguished in
our history as they were in that of God's aneierft
people.

BEAUREGARD 3 ADDRESS TO HIS
TROOPS.
General Beauregard has issued the following ad
dress to the forces under his command, as a trib
Qte to their patriotism and valor in the battle of
Corinth:
Headquarters Army ov the Mississippi, ")
CoaiNTn, April 17, 1862.
Soldiers of the A rmy of the Wet : You have
bravely fought the invaders of your soil two days
in his own position ;' fought your superior num
bers, in arim, in all appliances of wJir. Your
success has been signal ; his losses have been im
mense, outnumbering yours in all save personal
worth of slain. You drove him from his camp
to the shelter of h;s iron clad gunboats, which
alone saved him from complete disaster ; you cap
tured artillery, more than twenty-five flags and
standards and tents, and over 3,000 prisoners.
You have done your duty ; your commanding
general thanks you ; your countrymen are proud
of your deeds on the bloody field of Shiloh con
fident in the ultimate results of your valour.
Soldiers! Untoward events saved the enemy
from annihilation. His insolent presence still
pollutes your soil. His hestile flae still flunu be
fore you. There can be no peace so-long as these
things are-. Trusting that God is with us, R3 with
our fathers, let us seek to be worthy of His fa
.your and resolve to ba independent or perish in
the sti uggle.
Signed G. T, BEAUREGARD,
General Commanding.
EHE BLOODY BATTLE OF SHILOH,
We learn from gentlemen jusi arrived from
Corinth, that the battle of Shiloh was, consider
ing numbers engaged, one of tbe greatest and
bloodiest conflicts of latter days decidedly the
most sanguinary ever fought upon this continent,
if we except those of the Conquerer Cortez. Ma
nassas, and every other battle of the war pales be-
lor n.
' We are positively assured that Gen. Beauregard
lost between 1600 and 1800, men killed outright,
and over seven or eight thousand wounded. The
Federal loss is perhaps correctly estimated at
? .bout fifteen thousand killed, wounded and miss
hg. The Yankee newspapers themselves admit a
total loss of between ten end fifteen thousand
men.
Richmond Enquirer.
Mrs. Lincoln's Brother Ku.LEU.--Mr. Sam
uel B. Todd, brother of Mrs. Lincoln, died on
the battle field of Shiloh of wounds recieved in
the action of the 7th of Anril. The New Orleans
Delta" says he was a gallant private in the Cres

against the hireling invaders whom the husband
of his' sister, Abraham Lincoln, sent to desolate
our country and dishonor our people. It must
be a pleasant reflection to Mrs.Lincolr., amid her.

8ibi Thinking you might desire to learn a
correC account of the forces engaged in the bat
tle of f awver'a Lane," (this ia the name given
to it bjHQJlonel Wright ) on the' 19th inst., I
have CdQeiuded to send this.
TheatJ,le commenced at 45 minutes after 11
o'clock ; AM.t and continued until 5 o'clock, P.
M. C Ir forces consisted of six companies of the
Third ; Secrgia Regiment, (314 ra$n,) and a sec
tion (t oVpiecea,) of McComas' Artillery.. The
enemy s force, as Vecerl&ined from the prisoners
taken, and by the names and corps marked Uf-on
the graves on the battle field, was Hawkins' Brig
ade, thijte. regiments, 9ib, 21st and 89th New
York Jgounteers, and Reno's Brigade, (second
of BurQsie'8 expedition,) consisting of the 21st
Massachusetts, Gth New Hampshire, and 51st
Pennsylvania Regiments, making iheir whole
force o infantry, six regiments at least 5,000
men. Ke enemy, bad five pieces of artillery,
(three pSCed .12-po.undera and two 12 pounder
bowh j frs). " We disablC1 two of their pieces so
badly t a$ they were left on tb fie!d. Our toss Is five
killedj'jeventeen wounded, and nine missing, su
posed i i 0 killed. The enemy's lass, as far as
Can besdertained, was over three hundred, in
cluding i oflicer8. We captured 1,000 lbs. , of
gun poivry- a large quantity of camp equipage,
blankdiief'ect., twelve buxes of fixed ammunition
for arttNty, over 30O stand of wnall arms, prin
cip411yUes, a large coil, about 1,000 yards, of
wire, ( piece of which l send you,) supposed to
be for nongraphic purposes, and a quantity of
epadesj'pteks, shovels, and entrenching tools
'The Objt&t of the enemy seemed t be to take
possessiori.)f this place and destroy jthe locks of
the can'asi From letters found on the battlefield,
it appearjthcy had" heard that we were building,
and had nearly completed, two snull iron-clad
gunboats, to run through this canal and destroy
their fleetrln the waters of Albemarle Sound.
They have been effectually checked, and will not
be aniious soon tj "repeat the experiment.

,V. STERLING PRICE
- f , OUR ENEMIES.
'Che Confederate Stales have four distinct class
es sf enemies.
I. The government and. people of the Unitsd
State are our enemies. But they are open ene
mies. ; They meet us upon the field with arras in
their bands, and make war upon us. They shoot
down our Soldiers, burn our houses, destroy our
property, and steal our negroes. We know where
to fitidj and hoW to deal with tuch an enemy.
2; The second class of enemies are the croakers
tbeichg fac3d.mtr.bf faint h nr'.s and weak nerves,
who go - up and down the country, seeking
to Impart' .their .own despondency and cow
ardice to all with whom tbey come in contact.
Weak"; tf purpose, faint of heart and cow
ardly irl spirit, they would destroy the
confidence of everybody else, and abandon every
thr)g to the Federals. We would suggest to have
peUicoata. put upon .thee miserable creature", and
curls hung about their craven loreiieads, but for
th3 insult we should thereby offer to our brave
wAnen.
$V The speculators and extrlioners constitute
tht third class of enemies. These characters pe
rat i upon the "necessities of the country. Tbey
ar( interested in te war, inasmuch as it enables
thi oj ,lo , make money. Beyond this, they care
b: little who wins or who loses.; They5 set no
fljf id pride upon wbat-they have o cell. Their
pri se is all they can get. The purchaser may be
a ioof man, a needy woman, a destitute soldier
or Vie widow of some bravn'fellew who baa fallen
in lieu) with his feet to the foe. Still, if the ex
anct a Litacolnite we have infinitely more respect
for the latter. The on is open enemy, and meet
tortkmer cariv grind out of vber viive. "'dollars
pern, bushel; : for -sal t, ' he r takes-; it K if -ten
tollirs,he lakes it : ff.fi thousanjSdorlars,
till ; be would take it. As betwe :him
youwon tbe field r theother ta secret" foe bw
takes advantages or your necessities, and seeks to
tindermirie the cause by oppressing the people and
sapping the foundations of our strength1'" ' " T 4
4. The fourth end last class of enemies to the
Confederate cause are those pimps ndoperatora
in money who seek t depreciate the currency of
the government. These. people worship at the
shrine of the golden calf. The success of our itfug
gle may depend upon the confidence of our people
in the currency provided by the government ; yet,
if they can gain anything by destroying that
confidence they do not hesitate to do it t They ere
as ready to speculate on the faith of the people and
the patriotism of the country as an honest man
would be upon products of the land...; Place the
success of our cause in one scale and greed and
gain in the other, and they, would not be long
in deciding which they would take. The man
who tears up a railway track is no greater .ene
my to the public than tbe one who destroys the
oil by which the machinery is lubriciated, and
without which it cannot bo operated. So, too, the
man who destroys the cjnflJence of the public in
tht currency of the government is as much an
enemy as the spy who carries intelligence to tbe
adversary.
Sach are the enemies of the Confederate caute.
Let (them bo watched everywhere. They are the
aiders and abettors of toe North, and should be
so regarded and treated Memphis Appeal
REMARKS OF MR. SATTERTHW AITE,
O the dath of Mr. EUUon, of Beaufort County.
Mr. President: The long and intimate acquain
tance and association which I enjoyed with the de
ceased makes it proper tbt I should second the reso
lutions which have been offered, and, in a few words,
giveiwy testimony to his character and qualities. , Mr.
Elliaon was only two months my sinior, and from eaxly
boyhood the most friendly and intimate relations Ex
isted between us up to the hour of his death, and I
can truly say of him he was a good man, honest and
upright in his dealings with his fellow man:
Mr. Ellison was not a man of genros r gifted with
any extraordinary faculties of mind, and he labored
under the misfortune of a defective early education,
having no greater advantages than the Common
Schools in that pirt of the State afforded; but his inde
fatigable industry and fidelity in the discharge of all
the duties tcrwhich he was called, made him a success
ful man. He read law and obtained a license to prac
tice in the Courts, long after lie was married and had
a family of children ; but his agricultural pursuits
and other avocations prevented him from giving that
attention to the study and practice of his- profession
which was necessary to acquire eminence or, secure a
very large practice ; he was, however," Considered a
very good collecting attorney and a safe counsellor
in tbe settlement of vacates and trust, and he acquired
a very good practice of that kind. He was a very
useful man in his community, and as Chairman of the
County Court and of the Board of Finance in Beau
fort County, he rendered very important services which
were highly appreciated by his people.
He was a successful farmer and every one who vis
ited him would see from his buildings and faroa that
he was a man ,of order and neatness. He was- a mod
est, unassuming man, and it required an intimate ac
quantance with him in order truly to appreciate his
character and worth.
His industry upon the several Committees to which
be was assigned in this body, and his strict attention
to all business, and uniform courtesy to all the mem
bers, was gaining for hiro here an enviable reputation.
He was a man of good habits, temperate in all things,
and when we separated at tbe close of our last Bession
there was no one of us who' had greater promise ef
meeting here agaia than ha had. I met him only
three days before his death in the streets Of Washington.
He was then in apparent good health, bet seemed to
be depressed in spirits- at the present condition and
future pfospects of our country. I bid him good bye
expecting to meet him again in a few days, but " how
inscrutable are the ways of Providence." "The Al
mighty walketh in the waters and man cannot follow
in his footsteps."
I was summoned to the grave of our departed friend
and aa I witnessed the long procession of his neigh
bors and friends following his corpse to its last resting
p'ace, I wus forcibly reminded of the solemn truth
which we all know so well, but heed so little, "that f
Ihe'tnhtit of life toe are in death."
Mr. Ellison was a communicant in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and his life and profession has
left to his family and friends the consolation of a rea
sonable hope that he has exchanged a world where the
resounding clash of contending armies pain the ear,
for one of peace and rest. We 'can only offer to his
bereaved family the consolation of our sincere sym
pathy as expressed in the resolution.
. And now it remains, Mr. President, to be seen,
whether we shall make a wise and profitable use of the
solemn lesson which the sudden death of our depart
e.J friend gives, or whether, like the foolish virgins,
" we neglect to fill our lamps with oil, and when tbe
bridegroom comes we find ourselves in utter darkness."
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, 1
Exkcdtivis Department, Raleigh, Ap. 15, 1862. j
To the people of North Carolina :
By an advertisement in the public papers signed
W. S. Ashe, you are informed that he wilt appoint,
and send agents through every county in the State,
to borrow, purchase, and if necessary to mrre all
tbe arms now in tho hands of private citizens.
Amy attempt to teize the arms of our citizens is di
rectly at variance with the constitution, and in oppo.
sition to the declared policy of the government, which
makes it the duty of every citizen, to keep and bear
arms, and protects the arms of the militia even from
execution for debt.
But while I notify you that these agents have no
lawful authority to seize your private arms, and you
will be protected in preserving the means of self de
fence, I must enjoin upon you in this emergency, as
an act of the highest patriotism and duty, that you
should discover to the State authorities, all public
arms, muske.s or rifles, within your knowledge, and
of aellinq to the State all the arms, the property of
individuals, which can be spared.. The Colonels of
the several regiments of militia will act aa agents for
the State, and will notify me whenever any such arms
are delivered or offered to them. .
Their prompt and earnest attention i called to the
execution of this opder.
