Blessed is th. man—blest of God and men

whose lovalty to their oountry is brought in question
by meir own oourse, and of the many whose greed of
gain absorbs all other and more generuus impulses, it
oannot be deaied that the war has els. brought forth an
amount of nnselfish devotion of life to oouairy, and con-tributions
of lime and toil and money, hitherto unknown
in the annals of the oouutry Aad this not among men

for colleating public opinion and his habit of bl-owing

ein therefor. On the reoent march of Hill's Corps to-wards
Madison C. H. the troops were ordered lo bivouac
a little before nightfall. It bad bt.-n raining and freez-ing
all day: the troops were very net and cold, aud some
of them had pulled down a few rails and were fast de-molishing
ihe stacks of fodder in an adjacent field, when
•he owner of the property rode up and made complaint
I" the Liivision commander. In five minutes, every rail

old dimensions. This Is a just and neoessary discipline,
sod there is no excuse for a lack of it in any army.
TUB STOBW.—The storm of sleet and snow whio'u we
mentioned so briefly on Monday, by no means fo'.lowed
our sensible example—it was not at all brief, but kepi
up a constant sleeting and snowing and blowing for
thirty-six hours, stopping only on Tuesday night, and
leaving several inches of deposits upon the surface of
ihings. We believe it has been several years sinoe so
heavy a fall of snow has oocurr.d here, and longer still,
since such a one has occurred so late in the Bpring.
The intense oold has doubtless blighted the prospect of
a good fruit year.
affair—Soul hern ladies will never gn ihem to dispute
ihe poini with ihem. This by the way. Our purpose
was locopy Ihe following appropriate notice of the affair
from Ihe Confederate, ending with the introdution of
Mary, the Colonel's cook, lo the polite attentions of
Gen. Dix:—
"The above is a part of the general plan now in pro
grass ay the discomfited and worn oot yankce govern
meni. lo :>ahe'itutp for ths beatrn while soldier and lbs
mercenary hirelings who have heretofore done Iheyaa-kee's
tigliiin.-», the poor "segro—to push hhn to the fronl
of the battle: and. keeping him there by the bayonet, to
mkr shelter frr their nwn cowardly oareas'ss behind
this live bulwark. Already in several battles they have
pdrsued towards the negro ibis brutally selfish poliny,
and it fats always been attended with Ihe almost entire
annihilation of ihe '-Colored Troops"—these runaway
slaves sod free negroes, whom heretofore they have
permit; :' to starve in and about the Five Points, and
other sinks of iniquity of New York, 'atd under the
name of "national troops," are consecrating Ihem to
the murder of the husbands, sons aad brothers ofsouth-ern
women, who, like themselves, are of whits ooior—
but unlike them in all other particulars—and especially
in that these last »re a Christian, virtucus aid humane
race of women. If anything wer* wanting to the ex-posure
of the hollow-hearted hypocrisy of that whole
raoe ef people, it is to be found in this feminine oom-mendntion
of laes.. poor negroes by the women of New
York, to earoage, slaughter and destruction, under
tome affeoted sympathy for "free nationality " These
nsgroes. who have not even been permitted lo "follow
a irade" or find serrioe in an honorable calling—not
even to sit in their churches or ride in tkeir cars—who,
undefended by law, have been bntchered in their streets
by mobs for whioh no one has been punished—these
negrom are thus affectionately greeted by their loving
friends now. and thus dediuated to --martyrdom, with
benedictions and with tears "—with assurances that
these devoted white women will waich them as they
••career'' to death in the p'ace of brother Jenalhan and
cousin Amicadab, who will alro be watching, irom be-hind,
the same '-career."
"And Gen. Dix cultivates his p»u for a special regret
for necessary absence on this interesting occasion
Oea'l. John A. Dix, whose wife, a weak and sickly wo-man,
oaco visit«d our southern clime, was warmly and
hospitably entertained, cherish, d and nursed by Ihe
masters and mistresses of thesr same slaves, who oarry
aow his cordial wiehss for success in the alaorily of
their efforts for the destruction of those who were, to
his invalid wife, hospitable and attentive hosts and
hostesses when she needed friends and sympathisers.
- -Dim out of the future, there comes a scene, when
these "colored troops" will return to New York—the
few that will escape the general macssore—then will
come the nice rewards of merit, to be dispensed by
these rlrjant tynpitlhum. the soft while hand of Miss
Joy, giving Lieut. Col. Tony Davia sn ungloved clasp,
while upon his polished brew she pots the evergreen
wreath: and after the oeremoay of coronation the soiree
and the danee. Delicate whit* maidens interlocked in
the giddy waltz with their chosen officers of perfect eb-ony;
the round turned ankles and the unmislakeable
shins tripping together in the dance; and, rice veria, the
ladles of African descent, bearing to their northern
sisters the family nomenclatures whence they have been
stolen, caught up with avidity by the exquisites of the
New York gtulrj. II will be a oharming hour—that
evening entertainment—when, after the "alaeritg" of
murder has been shown by these organised negroes,
the welcoma bom. .hall be uttered by the "wives,
moihere and sifters of New York." There will be no
letter of -regret" from Gen. Dix on thai occasion. Min-gling
in that assembly of varied colors, amid lustrous
lights, and the soft perfumes distilled from the "essence
ot anas souei," and toe --oMar dt n-gre," thisfnix atsv-afarr"
will be altogether at home "Gen Dix is an
add friend of ours, we beg lo commend to his acquaint-ance
aad hospitable attentions our cook, Mary, cap
tured at Newbern. If Gen Foster did not steal her
along with our furniture for his own use and Mrs.
Foster's, she will undoubtedly be at the reception of tie
20th on their return to New fork. She is a stout,
bright mulatto woman, and well dressed in a •■Gros i:

A/rifw" in that distinguished circle, which would af-ford
to our quondam acquaintance an entertainment at
once unique and novel What a people? To be sepa-rated
forever from them is God's divinest blessing.
Cursed be he. from the crown of his head to the sole of
his foot, whe weuld again contaminate southern woman-hood
with this vile aad hideous association.''
i*i MCA. ion.- —People who send communications
nere containing statements as to mal'crs of fact waste
paper and postage unless they sign their names. Thia
notice is repeated for the benefit of a number of reoent
writers whose oommunioations have been received and
not published.
WHT THX YASKBSS no SOT FIOHT so WSLL —The
Richmond Examiner has a sensibls article accounting
for the evideut fact that the yankees have not recently
fenght so well at they did in ihe earlier periods of the
war. Tory have been whipped in Florida by one against
two or three, in. Mississippi by one against five, and
bava refused to meet Johnston and Longstreet, though
with superior numbers The Examiner refers the dif-fer
nee to the employment of negro troops, and says:
• The measure wss adopted as the oerlain, infallible
mes.ns of bringing ruio upon tho South. It will prove,
on Ihe contrary, the cause of inevitable failure to the
North. It will demoralise their armies in the field; and
it will demoralize publio sentiment at home. The anti-abolitionists
will avail themselves of the exouse of "the
niggers' war" for shirking the service; and men o' spirit
and courage will eschew the army and avoid the "touch
of elbows' with their brethren in color and ordor, aa
teen of spirit naturally avoid those without any preten-sions
to manliness or bravery. The first volley sutfioes
to scaiter the negroes like sheep, in an engageo'ent.
They dissatisfy Ihe while troops with whom they are
associated; for the white yankee soldier is a white man
even though a yankee; aad he oannot brook an associa-tion
on equal terms with the negro. When ho is re-quirod
to regard himself as the associate and equal
of the negro, he loses all pride and lone of character
He Basis Himself wronged by his li jvernment. .Jjyv.Vl I
by bis people at home. The fight in Florida was made,
on tie enemy's pan, with negro (roops, and with while
troops woo had :.con associated for some lime with the
Mac*. ID this point of view the result is quite' signifi-cant
and quite important.
••It is not surprising or nnnatural that the employ-mem
of negro soldiers shoild be attended by such tin-sequmces.
The war had not progressed two years be-fore
this vain glorious and boastful people found them
selves in eondition to need some extraneous assistance,
and they resorted to i he incendiary and unmanly expe-dient
of enlisting a large element of Southern power in
the. work of subjugation This was itself a oonfsssion
of tne iunbility of ihe North, by its own strength, to
complete the enterprise It had undertaken; and the class
they brought into service evinced the unohivalrous, vin-
SBOttB* and cowardly spirit by whioh ttey were aoluat-ed.
No brave, proud and chivalrous people would have
resorted to such a measure No gallant and courageous
troops would oonsent to be assisted, in tbe high enter-prise
of war, by a menial class, whom they bad been
taught from infanoy to look down uton, and of whose
courage it was impossible to entertain a favorable opin-ion.
A people base enough to call suoh aid inio rrqui-sition.
not only oannot succeed, but do not deserve to do
so, eren were their enterprise, otherwise, over so mer-itorious.
"Nor would the South deserve a better fata, if her
subjugation by snob means were practicable. If she
cannot maintain herself against an enemy confessing
bis inability t0 subdue her, exoept by servile assistance,
shs will deserve to be reduoed to the level of the class
whose aid is invoked to fasten the slave's yoke upon
her. There are some within her bosom base enough
to'ask the imposition of tnis yoke; in some localities
d-manding a popular convention to that end For the
benefit of these wretches, the Confederate Congress has
repealed the habta, eorpu, act; H ou_Bt ,0 B.Te ,one
furl bar, and voted blacking and brushes, or a liberal
supply of copperas and lo,w00d extract, or ths best
materials for a dye of the deepeat blaek."

Reg't Inf'y. Of v^apt. Robiusou's antecedents, it
is unnecessary to speak—every battle field from

an officer, and his gallantry as a soldier. He is
a young man of fine mental qualifications, of strlet,

Messrs. kditors:—We arc happy to etate to our
friends that the health and conditional our Reg't
is very good at present. The soldiers all soem to
be in fine spirits, notwithstanding we hate been
on pioket for the last forty days. Most of our
time we hsvs bad beautiful weather Our time
will expire on picket in a few days; then we will
retire to our winter quarters near O. C. II. where
we will be more conitorubte.
Another winter has passed, springs has appear-ed,
and we soon will have to tike up the line oi
marching and fighting it our enemies should ad-vance
on us. Hut we are ready to meet them at
any moment and feel that we arc tiguting in a
just cause. Notwithstanding we have seen many
ot our oomrades tall by our sides, and have sac-rificed
their lives for their country, we are willing
if necessary to sacrifice ours rather than be con-quered
and brought down on equality with the
negro. Then let us still straggle in this glorious
cause B. B. A M. V.

The Fall of Vicktlurg.—The official report of
Gen. Johnston makes some disclosures that seem
to destroy Uen. femberton. Instead of being
oompelled by starvation to surrender, it now ap-pears
officially that 1'emberton had, a* tha was
W*a>» awaweeasW; aaVswS 4O,0OG pound* ol

ot soap, 5^7 pounds ot CtuJiii. and l-'V-1'"
pounds of salt
But tho most astounding disc, .sure if Pern-berton's
explanation of his .selection ot the fot'rtn
of July for tbe day of surrender. The ixplaba
tion is this, in PemDerton's own words:
"If it should be asked why tho fourth of-Jolf
was seleoted as the day for tne surrender, the an-swer
is obvious I believed that, upon that day, 1
should obtain better terms. Well aware ot the
vanity of our foes, I knew they would attach vast
importance to the entrance, on tbe fourth of Ju
ly, into the stronghold of the great river, and
that, to gratify their national vanity, they would
yield then what could n A be extorted irom them
at any other timo "

Gloom at tkt North.—The New York Times of the

whioh it aaya now pervades the North:
"The faoi that probably gives rise to the most wide
spread despondenoy is, that we have as yet aocompliah-td
no'hing in onr spring operations. The Florida ex-pedition
ended in a disaster; the grand cavalry raid in
Alabama, under Gen. tamiio, was interrupted by ap-parently
a-very inferior isroe: the myaterious invasion
of Gen. Sherman's flying column brought back only a
'■ w thousand mules ail a negroes, and wasted the ene-my's
