THE BLACK FLAG. ' c I We are glad to see that the subject of raising the blaok flag over , our armies has been mooted in Congress.; The Proclama tion of Linooln imperatively calls for the eu aotmeot of a law that in the future no 'more prisoners shall be taken by our troops, .and no quarter given to our enemies. .Butlers orders, and a hundred, other outrages,! were noogh in themselves to baye warranted the refusal of quarter to all Yankees jin : aruia . against us j4 but when, superadded, wq haye a; proclamation inviting the slaves of the South to rise in arms against their! masters, there is no longer time for doubt or hesita tion as to the course we Bhould pursue . The poliov of extending the amenities ' of civil ized Warfare to a foe whose avowed, object is to have a St. Domingo tragedy repeated in our midst, would be worse than puerile it would .be fatal. '. s Let it then be proclaimed to every Yankee officer and soldier, that when he takes up arms to invade and. conquer the South, he must make up bis mind to kill or be kill edthat the business of taking prisoners to be liberated on cartels of exchange is at an end, and that the South;; will, in the future, give no more quarter to a Yankee invader of iia soil than would be given to a rattlesnake or an uncaged tiger. This, we verily believe, should "have been the polioy of! the South . from the outset of the war. ' The Yankee invader of Southern soil is upon it in the double capaoity of a murderer and a thief, and as such should be treated. There baa . been too mueh clemency, too much forbear ance on the part of the" South towards those whose devillish mission is either to ont our throats oi manacle our limbs. GUNBOAT 290 AT WOKK KEPORTED CAPTURE OF YANKEE OFFICERS. . A dispatch from Port Hudson, via Mobile, states that a gentleman who arrived at that place 'on the 30th ult (last Tuesday) from New Orleans says that it was reported in that city that the Confederate steamer 290, off the mouth of the Mississippi river, had captured an outward bound vessel baviag as passengers Gen. Phelps and Com modore Porter. They were transferred to the 290, and placed in. confinement. Port Hudson, the place from which this diapatch comes, is on the East bank of the Mississippi river, about 25 miles above Baton Rouge, La. Unfortunately ' for the concocters of the above story, late North ern papers bring us information that the officers said to be captured in the "outward bound ves sel" ha7e arrived safely at New York. Ed. Esq. . The following is a correct list of the officers of the Confederate gunboat 290 : Captain R. Semmes. lieutenants Ji.eu, xiaaautoa ana Armstrong. Masters Low, A. binclair. Doctor Gait Marine Officer Howell. Midshipmen W. Sinclair, Bulloch, E. Maffit, E. C. Anderson.

What constitutional power Xitncoin nas 10 issue such a proclamation against those whom he claims as still under the Constitution, is, of course, in visible to us. .'We once understood the United States Constitution ; bu since it has come to be administered by those I who have made it "the oest eovernment the world ever saw." it seems to be nothing but a carte-blancheh simple grant of absolute power. Lincoln is now Constitution and Government - strange that the Confederate Spates do not abandon their independence and hasten under so beneficent a system 'the best the world ever saw t" j We hail this proclamation as an evidence that Lincoln feels his weakness. But, fellow-citizens of the Confederacy, it ought to add to our strength I If you could not afford to be.conquer- ed before, a thousand times can you not afford it when Lincoln thrusts.; his diabolical intentions and desires concerning you in your very faces. If conquered, a negro race of four millions are to be your equals in your own homes. The Yan kee States have, some of them, already forbidden the poor wretches to make so much as a foot print on Jtbeir soil. They will have to remain here. To brine: us to this delectable State. Lin coln proposes to make them your assassins now 1 His threat is idle, it is true. He has done all in the pact that he can do In tlTS future. Wherever his arms have gone, he jbatfTwe bis worst. But since hi has gratuitously ureertQus his inmost neari, ana since- ne nas untyr a declaration mat makes abolitionism in its vilest haunts roar with maniac joy, it is proper that we should make fit- tine response. 5 In the name of the Confederate people and government, we feel perfectly authorized to retort these demon threats with bold dehance I We ask no favors and no terms of such an enemy. Whether they come as Isavages or whether they come as wild beasts, we will resist them with all the means God shall give us ; and, with the bles sing of God, we shall conquer in the future as in the past ! j The new phase the war is to assume is not our fault A seditious negrj, no matter in whose com pany, or under whose protection found, will die the deatn. Mis associates will be felons, too. We can take no such prisoners. To meet the war in this'new front, we must have a great army. The next campaign will be the severest and the most terrible of the war. We must prepare for it ! We must piepare in time. Already the enemy's vast new levies are in the field drilling. We have to meet them, snow ; it will be still har der to meet them next year 1 Let us prepare at once With much respect &&, Note. I hear the epidemic was brought to your Town by a vessel from Nassau, which run the blockade. If so, could it be designedly. J. P. 4 CONGRESSIONAL.

We append to the fey remarks we are about to make an extract from a business letter to the pro prietors by a gentleman in the country, who is not only a valued frief.d of oursv, but of a very large number of the citizens of Wilmington. It will be seen that our frtands in the country sym pathise deeply with usWin this the hour of our deepest affliction. Wehink, indeed we enter tain no doubt but that iar friend is correct, as to the manner in which te disease was introduced. The general impression here, in which we fully concur, is that it has feen clearly traced to the steamer Kate, from Nassau, whioh vessel arrived here late in J uly last 'it was asserted at the time that two of her crew died here of the yellow lever very soon after her arrival.

In the Senate to-day, Mr. Semmes, of La., submitted a resolution de claring tnat Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation was an outrage oh the rights of private property end an invitation to' an atrocious servile war. , The resolution was referred to the Judiciary Committee. . . . ' The House resolution extending. the session un til Monday next was concurred in. The Senate bill to authorize the President to ac cept and place in service certain regiments, &c, heretofore raised, though composed in part of persons liable to the Conscription, was passed. In the House, the Exemption Bill was further considered and amended so as to exempt all per sons employed on newspapers, who are indispensa ble to their publication, according to the oath of tne ifiditor. Several bills was passed. Richmond, Sept. 30 Ip the Senate, the House bill repealing the law authorising the commutation Of soldiers clothing, and to require the Secretary of war to furnish clothing in kind, was passed ; also, tbe Senate bill to organize military, courts to attend the army in the; field. A bill relative to partisan rangers that passed yesterday, was reconsidered and amended so as to authorize the President to receive into service regiments embracing conscripts organ- land in States West of the alMsissippi. The House was all day, except when in secret session, in further consideration of the exemption bill. Richmond, Oct 1. In the Senate to-day, Mr. Semmes, of La., from the Judiciary Committee. to whom the resolutions relative to the Emanci pation proclamation of Lincoln were referred, re ported a bill to repress the atrocities of the enemy by retaliation, &o. Other bills and resolutions on the same 'subject were presented and all of them made the order ot the day for to-morrow at 1 o'clock. The remainder of the day's session was occupied in the discussion of resolutions relative to Martial Law and Jfrovost .Marshals; The following resolution was finally adopted. Yeas 21 Nay, Mr. Wigfail: "Resolved, That the Military law of the Con federate Statee, is by the Constitution and enact ments of Congress limited to the land end naval forces, and tbe militia when in actual service, and to such other persons as are within the lines of the army corDS, divisions or brigades of the army of the Confederate states, and that no officer of gov eminent of the Confederate States, has the consti tutional or other leeal authority, to declare, re V .

In the House, Mr. Lyons, of Va., submitted a preamble and resolutions, prescribing the mode of retaliation against the enemy. Mr. 'Chilton, of Ala., submitted similar resolu Hons, which were all reterred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs .

He k Meligiouj man. and was a ruling elder in the college church, and cer tainly discharged all the duties cf his office in the church conscientiously and diligently. He taught a viBie -Class on me oaoDatn, ccmposea ot me more advanced students, and having carried this class through, the, "Sermon .on the Mount," he afterwards published the result of bis studies on this part of Scripture in a volume which has been highly spoten of iuyarious quarters. He after wards wrote ! a series of articles for the . North Carolina Presbyterian, which were collected and published in a book with the title "The Cruci fixion of Christ'' He was a member of the General Assembly which met at Indianapolis in loss. General Hill is a South Carolinian in all his feelings, principles aad prejudices, and doubtless rejoices tnat be is such. He has nursed his hatred to the North to such a aegree that it has become as near to a passion as bis cold nature permits. In the year 1860 he delivered a lecture at several daces in North Carolina, in which he comnlained bitterly of the injustice which had been done to the South by the Northern historians of tbe Rev olutionary war, and in which he asserted, in sub stance, that all the battles gained in the Revolu tion by Northern troops were a series of "Yankee tricks," and that the real, hard, open fighting, bad been done by, the aoutn. to inveterate is this enmity to Northern men and the Northern char acter in General Hill, that it creeps, out in unex pected places and is most remarkable ways. It would puzzle the ingenuity of most men to impart sectional feelings and ' prejudices intp the neutral region of pure mathematics ; but Gen. Hit has succeeded in conveying covert sneers by al gebraical symoois, ana insinuating disparagement through mathematical problems. In 1857 he publisQed a text book called , the "Elements' of Algebra," of which 4T. J.

In this book we find a num ber of problems, of which we give the following as samples : : "A Yankee mixes a certain number of wooden nutmegs, which cost bim one-fourth of a cent a piece, with real nutmegs worth 'four cents a piece, and sells the whole assortment for $15, ahd gains $j.7o oy me iraua. now many wooden nutmegs were there?"

Four years ago the writer was present, at the annual com mencement,' and heard the late Dr. Thorn well deliver one of his powerful and elaborate sermons. A number of persons were sitting on the day of commencement in the President's house, then oc cupied by Dr. Lacy, when the President entered, and introduced a gentleman to the company by the name of "Professor Jackson, of Va." He was a tall, rather noticeable person, of ,un obtrusive manners, and sat engaged in -conversation with some of those near him while in the room, and presently took bis leave. It was un derstood that he was to be married in a few days to a daughter of the Rev. Dr. R. H.. Morrison, a leading member of the Presbytery ot Concord, and pastor of a church in the vicinity, into whose family General Hill had previously married. This Was the only glance we ever had at the man who has since won so much notoriety as General "Stonewall" Jackson. His first wife, as is well known, was the daughter of Dr. George Junkin, now ef Philadelphia. yrtll pe; new renjenta vied with ths 0U ' ffl battle Tias ialso lea burtroopg in good htl Ae atraiiftthn3 '"thai Ann IMavuw i. u. .

As to the idea that the epidemic was introduced here designedly, we have never heard such a thought suggested, and do not how think that there is any reason to entertain it for a moment. As for nine-tenths of the vessels run ning the blockade, we have already expressed our opinion that they do us more harm than good. it is a pity that tnese vessels naa not always been rigidly quarantined. It is possible that bad the disease attracted more attention at first, its progress might have been stayed, or its limits confined, and many val uable lives saved. But of this we are not now qualified to speak. How many lives have already been lost, we cannot ascertain, but they have been many too many, and the mortality does not abate, although our town is almost depooulated, all who could.get away having gone. We learn that twelve deaths were reported on Saturday, and thirteen on Sunday, (yesterday1.) Among those whose deaths we have to record are some who died elsewhere, but unmistakeably of the diseaso contracted here. One of these we may mention now.: Wm. C. Bettencourt, Esq., one of our oldest and most estimable citizens, who died of Yellow Fever, on Thursday last, in Clinton. Dr. James H. Dickson, a physician of of the highest character and standing, died here on Sunday morning of the same disease. Dr. Dickson's death is a great loss to the profession and to the community. We have just heard, of the death, at the Soend, the advance of the enemy, and were at last ac counts in the neighborhood of Bunker Hill, a commanding position, ten miles north of Win chester. That Gen. Lee has allowed tbe enemy an un disputed passage of the ri ver, when he could so easi ly nave commanded the fords with his artillery, seems to augur well for his confidence in his abil ity to meet him in the open field, and that he de sires to draw bim on to a selected battle field Another great battle, perhaps the decisive conflict of the campaign, is believed to be iminent The telegraph is in operation between Richmond and Winchester, and any hour may bring us the in telligence that the great struggle has begun. If the representations made by persons who should be well informed, are to be credited, our prospects of victory are more than encouraging. uur army is numerically Bironger ana in ail res pects in better trim and condition than when it crossed the Rapidao in August while its prestige, heightened by successive victories, is superb. Through passengers who reached here yester day, direct from Winchester, we learn that on Sunday last Longtreet's division having ap proached to within four miles of Winchester, sud enfy countermarched and returned in the direc tion of Bunker Hill. The cause or object of this movments had not transpired. Richmond Examiner. Good Nrws, w Trux. Passengers by the Western train last night, says the Bristol Advo cate, report tbetf Obl.

WHAT WAS OAHrXD BY TEE FXDIRAL8 IN THI BATTLES IS MARYLAND. If any one doubts that the . Federals got a thrashing at the battle of Sharpsburg, (or Antie tam, as the Yankee papers call it,) an article in the Washington Republican Lincoln's organof the 23d, will relieve their minds of uncertainty; After stating that tbe Surrender of Harper's Fer ry was unrelieved by any decided success in that quarter, the Republican says: The aspects of affairs, as far as General McClel lan's army is concerned, is, we regret to say. dis tinctly more unfavorable than it seemed at the date of our last issue. 'The enemy has crossed tha Potomac with all bis trains and artillery untouch ed, wuiA all his wounded except a fern - hundreds' and with the lose of only an insignificant number" of svrmggiATTs. xi.a u saia io oe now well posted on the South bank of the river, with artillery in po sition, and prepared to dispute our passage. - That he thus escaped substantially without- damcr ! in itself a serious misfortune for us, and further more, it euimxts of but on$ tntcrvretaiian -and that not favorable as to the character of the battle of wcaneaaay. A. battle must be conceded to be a drawn one, from which ene party . with draws in perfect order, the other party being uisaDtea irom moving until movement it ts too late. It may have the moral effect of a victory to ua,and we still think it has, but that is only because a drawn battle is defeat to as advancing and hitb- rto successful army ,tA& such a battle is a victory tonarmy which Aa been suffering vontinuous reverses. Thl battle of Antietam was a victory lor us in that sense only - ". - It is gratifying to find that the reports contin ue oniiorm of the good conduct of the whole of the army.
