COMMENTS OfHK HERALD ON THE SITUATION;
Commenting on -the military situation in' the
South and tb4 moves on . the chess-board, the
tier aid says On the whole, considering the de
fensive position it (the South) baa at least equal
: ttrength with the North for this campaign. ' Pem
' berton, according to our latest intelligence) will te
able to noia out in that strong bold ten- days or a,
; tortnight, until Jobn&ton with his army raises the
siege and engages Grant in battle. Johnston ia
rapidly receiving reinforcements from all quarters
at Canton, a central pdii: ton the railroad.! Grant
a being reinforced, too, ;ome down the Mississippi,
wblcb land at Haines' ; BIuM on the enemy's left
flank, and, some up tbe Mississippi landing at
v arrenion on tne enemy s ngnt frank.
" it is thus reduced to a Question of sneed and
numbers between, the opposing forces, complicated
with the quettions of tbe strength cf the fortress
and Grant's tactics ip the approaching great battla.
Tbe rebels cannot afford to lose Vicksburg, bat If
they succeed there, by concentrating the victorious
army of Vicksburg at Chattanooga, it will bean
easy matter, to clean out iTennesseo. Johnston
was only prevented from dealing- Rosecrans a
heavy blow ;by Grant's landing at Port Gibson
and attacking Vicksburg in the rear. Lee with
heavy reinfuroetriints is about to move into
Pennsylvania, and Stuart, with 15,000 cavalry, Is

'TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
On Saturday night, about half past 12 o'clock,
a iterrible accident, attended with tbe instant
death of eleven negroes,, and mortally injuring
several others, occurred to an extra train of box
cars, havidg on board from 500 to 600 negroes.
The train was from Augusta, and the negroes be
longing to General Wade llampton and brother,
were mrotite from Mississippi to Columbia, S. C
The . accident took,' place near Bamber? on the
Augusta road, about fifteen miles fromBranch
viille. It appears that several of the cars on the
eXlra train became disconnected and were left
standing on the track, the negroes inside being
asleep and totally unconscious of their situation-
' , ,:'
The down passenger train, which was running
. on schedule time, came up, and the brakes applied,
but too late to prevent a collision: Tbe engine
plunged into the train of cars, tanning over and
into them, making itself and two of the cars a
Complete wreck.
"Tbe scene that followed was indescribable. As
sistance was sent for to Branch ville, and every
thing possible done for the relief of the sufferers.
Only one, a colored, fitrem'an, was injured on the
Eassenger train. He attempted to jump off, and
ad his leg slightly sprained. In addition to those
.killed on the extra train, it is thought three others
twUl die from their injuries. Charleston Courier,

V Stonswall Jackson's Message to the Wo
ifKs or the Confederacy. A correspondent
of the Knoxville Register w.rites at follows of an
interview, with Stonewall Jackson a few days be
fore his death :
i After a visit' to the Ilappahannock army, tbe
writer of this made a parting call on Gen. Jack
son, in his tent. As we stood exchanging the
last words some reference was made to what our
ladies aro ; doing. " Yes, " said he, " but they
must not entice tbe men - away from the arm v .
You mayitell them so for me. We are fighting
for principle, for honor, for everything we hold
dear. If jwe fail, we lose. everything. We shall
then be slaves, we shall be worse than slaves we
shall bave nothing worth living for."
The Central Presbyterian publishes a letter
wri.ten to a friend by Gen. Jackson about army
chaplains. It says :
! 'Denominational distinctions should be kept out
of view and not touched upon. And as a general
rule, I do not think tha a chaplain icho would
preach denominational sermons should be in the
army. His congregation 1s bis regiment, and it
is composed of various denominations. 1 ,would
like to see no question asked in the army what de
nomination a chaplain belongs to, bat let tbe ques
tion be, does he preach the Gospel? Tbe neglect
of the spiaitual interests of the army may be seen
from tbe fact that not half of my regiments have
chaplains.

Citizens most, no longer rely, on the army for
paotection against Yankee raids.. They must im
itate tbe b)ld Georgians, who held Strait at bay
until Forrest got in his rear and iasreed everv
man of the raiders. A hundred men: armed with
double-barrel shot guns, loaded with buckshot, can
do a deal of harm to a party of Yankee cavalry.
reopie wno know tne country ougbt to be able to
take tbe raiders at a disadvantage. Officers disa
bled irom active service, bnt who have Learned to
be cool under fire, ought to take command of or
ganized companies of citizens. Boys of twelve or
fourteen, accustomed to shooting rquirrels, can
worry a squad of Yankees amazingly. Duck guns
are fine for shooting Yankees in 11 cks. i ; A few
trees cut down here and there, and a judicious fire
or two at certain points, will be of service. A
Ti tmber of small mines, containing a couple of
pounds, or so of powder, with trains laid under
ground, in tubes of reed or elder, to keep them
from getting wet, will come in very prettily at
times. These mines should be laid secretly. Ne
groes should be watched, especially at night. The
vigilance of the whites should never be relaxed un
til it is known that the raids now con tern elated by
tne xanxees nave been abandoned, and that can
not be kn.own, wu take it,.Unti4 lfae war is over.
We entreat tbe people in town and country to
make ready, keep ready, and suffer no aisiurancei
from any quarter to lull them to sleep and throw
them off tbeir guard. Gen. Randolph has been
charged with the organization of the citizen defen
ders of Richmond. We could wish to bear more
of his alacrity. The sloth of Richmond should
not be imitated in other cities or in the country.
Before the summer ia ended, it is certain that
Yankee raiders will make the most adroit, we 1
plannod and desperate attempts to destroy the
James River and Kanawha Canal, the High
Bridge, near Farmville, the lines of tbe Danville,
Souibside and Virginia and Tennessee railroads.
An attempt will be made to rush a regiment or
mors through Virginia in two. directions first,
by way of Farm ville, Danville and Clarksville to
Weldon or to Raleigb, and thence to Foster's
forces below Kinston ; and second, by way pi
Wtheviile and she Salt Works to Abingdon, and
thence to he forces that Burnside is throwing into
East Tennessee. Offshoots from thee raids will
scour the country right and left, Stealing negroes,
borse, provisions, forage, and burning stores
wherever they cin be found. The main security
against these raids must be the individual deter
mination atd more particularly the preparation
and vigilance of private citizens The whole State
df Virginia should be thoroughly patroled and
picketed. A system or signals should bo adopted
to apprise the people when the raiders are coming,
in what direction and in what numbers., These
signals should be guarded as jealously, as those in
the army.
Should hostilities be resumed in Virginia with
in any Short time- and 'this is not at all improba
ble the Yankees will be sure to avail themselves
of the confusion incident to the battles to make
another dash for Richmond, the railroads and the
canal. The country north -of the James river
and embraced in the triangle formed by the points
Richmond, Gordonsvitle and Lynchburg, is'apt to
be overrun, ihe citizens of that region should be
on the look out. Kich: Whig.
