depot at the latter place last night. Grant
ia preparing to f&U back, as he has no water
in front.
MORION, July 22.-Our army has gone in
to permanent camp at Strong river.
Grant is reported shipping troops down the
Mississippi" river for the purpose of attacking
Mobile.
Lieut. Gen. Hardee has arrived, and takes

Ptmbertou's corps will be organized im
mediately and placed in tuckfield.
Grant's en tir? army has gone to Vicksburg;
they h*vu entirely devastated thc country i g
through which they passed. Our cavalry j
captured 40 soldiers, with a Lieut, who were
sucking houses. An attempt' to blow up the
State House failed, although it was badly
damaged. Our cavalry are pursuing. They
destroyed all the machine shops, rolling stock,
cannon and the road between there and Jack

of attack.

Soldiers Just Returned.
Lient W. fl. BROHRO* of Co.?D, 14th Bogt.,
who wus so painfully weuadei befare Richmond
a year ago, 'celebrates the anniversary of that
event by returning heme with a bu! lc t ho lo through
each thigh-whick pleasant punctures be received
from the hands of the Yankees at Gettysburg,
The friends of this intrepid soldier will be glad to
hear that his wounds are doing well, ?nd that he
is-already getting about a little on his crutches.
Mr. W. 8. Covan, son of our old townsman,
Mr. Sn KURT Covan, ?has also just got home from
Yirginia; ho has boen brought low by typhoid
pneumonia, but "fieme, sweet Home" has already
set him upon bis feet.
' Thoo shalt not Croak I
We aaaufacture a now commandment to suit
the tim3?. Our Country abounds arith croakers ;
they are as plenty as the frogs that were sent te
visit rebellious Pharaoh who reigned over the
land of Egypt The record of these Egyptian
croakers however, does not show that they, kept
up by any means, so incessant and discordant a
serenado as our white-livered Confederate perform
ors. These latter are .croaking in . every style of
voice from tho highest topratuxtown to the lowest
bateo pro/undo ; and. what is worse, they have
been on the cre?ee?<ie molt? ever since the fall of
Vicksburg.
.They see every thiug in a distorted form, and
alt adverse news is magnified ten fold; the ab
sence of uews is interpreted by them to ind?calo
fearful disaster and they insist upen drinking the*
cup of wot to its very dregs. They exclaim : I
teilt drown, and no man shall save mo. If the
army makes a retrograde movement, they at once
infer disastrous results as baring kappened, or
about to happen ; if we get no news at all,, they
ar? then positive that irretrievable disasters have
befallen us-that,the whole Confederacy, is suui
hBatcd-that there has been a general smash-up
North, Spath, East and West.
If Gen. Lee dees not'telegraph that bit has
changed his shirt, er Gen. JOHSSTOX that- he has
had his bu?ts cle*m?d, or Gea.'BitAaa tha't. he has'
washed bis feet, they at -once imagine that the
shirt, the boote and the feet, with their respective
owners, have become lawful booty ef the Yan
kees.
Our canse ia sot lost nor endangered by the
fall of Vicksburg, if the Government and people
will now set abtut hand and *heart to repair the
damage and drive back tho invader. If Vicks
burg had surrendered a year ago, tho disaster
would not bare been considered half aa crushing
as either tho fall of Donelson or New Orleans ;
and it is to be doubted to day, when considerad
in tray but a nraral point of view, in its effects
upon the enemy and upon our own people, whether
the lo.-sof that city is a greater disadvantage -to
us in a military aspect, than many similar dlsoom
fituros during this war. We*will continue te have
dashing leaders on both sides of tb? Mississippi,
who with batteries and sharpshooters on 'he banks
of the river, can annoy the boats and troops pass
ing down, to an extent whioh will render tho trip
more precarious than profitable. Neither dovs Ms
biie necessarily fall, from t he oap tur e of Vicksburg.
Naturally a defenaiblo position, and difficult of
access by land and water, we do not se? that with
proper resolution and proparatior. on tho part of
its citizens and the authorities, why it will not be
able to make, as sueeessf A a resist taco as Rich
.mond or Charleston. Why then croak}
'Tj? true that Gen. Las has enterod Pennsylva
nia, end after the severest battle of tho war, has
heep forced to fall back-bas recrossed the Poto
mac and is again on the soil ef Virginia. Tho
result so far as we are able' to judge from the
lights before us, has not incroased either our
moral or material strength. Our confidence,
however, in our great leader and the noble army
he commands is unabated, and what bas boen
done may all be for the bett. Wo at least ought
to wait and t< J-and not croak.
Charleston has net f?lleu, ncr do we beliero lt
will fall. But if it should, the true and bravo
will seo ia such a casualty, cause for renewed and
increased effort, and will redouble their resolution
to drive the invader from tbo soil. A blow like
that should call into action all the spirit of the
country, and our people should then let it bo soon
that they have nut yet done ell tboy a?? oapablo
of doing.
Every thing depends now upon the oelerity and
rigor of eur movements. If the people allow
themselves to bo frightened oat of their wits into
a disgraceful panic, tboy may be sure Gie military
will partake of their fears, and the whole become
a confused and disjointed mass, at the prey of the
well organised forces of tho enemy ; but if the
people are calm ind true, standing firmly by their
jans, and yielding a ready aniatanoo to the au
thorities, ail will eome out of the straggle with
1 glorious consciousness that they have acted as
aecomo the descendants of th? patrio ts of '76, and
trill deserve the euocaas with which tho God of
rattles never yet failed to crown the efforts of a
seeple who remained faithful to a good cause.
In.conclus'! on, we would suggest that the publie
viii eave itself muoh disquietude and discomfort,
f it will refuse to believe reports put afloat and
:ept iii'circulation by faint-hearted and white
iverod croakers ; and wait the reception of news
brough tho regular channels. If the news is
ad, irwill be heard aeon enough, and there is
10 need- of meeting trouble half way. If it is
;ood, lt will only be enjoyed with the more ?est.
Ibove all things, keep buoyed up with an unfai
ling, undying faith in the justness and final
access of oar cause, and persistently hop* for the
est, until the worst is demonstrated, end bo sure
> draw comfort and consolation from the most
ntoward events ; as disease ir eradicated and.
saith restored by the most unpleasant 'remedios
ad the most unpalatable medicines.

I Tb.? New York Riot-The Draft to bc
Enforced.
- The New York Herald ol the 18th instant
gives tho following:
The groat riot in New York had been for
the time suppressed, and the draft was to be
enforced.
The Herald says :. " Almost perfect order
reigned throughout the whole city yesterday.
The wards whore the highest excitement had
prevailed, were filled with large. bodies oT
military, who patrolled the streets entirely
unmolested by the populace."
Mayer Opdyjce had issued a proclamation,
in which he pay?,' the riotous asseinbilges
having been dispersed, business is mouing in
its usual channels.. Thc people are warned
against, unlawful combinations, having for
their object the.usurpation of tho laws 5 -io
give no heed to persons warning them to de
sist from their occupai ions ; .but to arrest
snch persons for punish men t as conspirators.
Tho Provost Marshal. General had issued
new orders from Washington, as follows:
" Provost Marshals are informed that no
orders have been issued countermanding the
draft.' .
" Adequate force) has boon ordered by the
Government to the points where the proceed
ing?" bave been .interrupted. Provost Mar
shals: will pe-spetained by the military forces
cordanco with the laws of the. United State*,
.and will proceed to erecute the order hereto
fore given for the a raft, a) rapidly as ?hall
be practicable by t id of the military forces
ordered to co-operate with and protect them."
The Herald's correspondent's dispatch, from
WashiDgtou, dated the 17th, say?: ,lIndica
tions are as thick as leaves in Valumbrosia
that the Government intends tb carry out the
conscription .at whatever cost. It is whisper
ed that, under the great and momentous nce'd
of enforcing tho draft, the high administrative
abilities of General Butler will becalled mm
.requisition.
" General Seymour's short words to the dis
turbers of the public peace are severely re
probated here." -
Raids iu the old North -State*
RICUMONO. July 22.-The Petersburg Ex
press gives an account of a Yankee raid in
North Carolina. They cam?, from 400 to OOO
strong, from Washington, Beaufort county,
North Carolina, at the.mouth of Tnr Uiver,
where it empties into Pamlico S ?und, made a
dash into Rocky. Mount, on the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad, 30 miles from Weldon,
burnell tho depot, ?:000 bales of cotton, and
a large cotton lactory, owned hv Win. S.
Battle. They also captured a train on thc
Tarboro' Branch of tho Washington Railroad,

At thc commencement of this torrihlo roro'u
.tion, he-volunteered his services os a private in a
troop of cavalry 'r-iised by-his brother in Edge?ald
District, and lias constantly and faithfully sorted
his ?ountry ever since In most of the cavalry
fights in Virginia. He was modest and unassum
ing, always ready for duty, however arduous or
.hazirdnus, and pos?cs?ed all the other character
istics, of truo courage. In battle, no ono wa?
moro cool ?nd self-possessed. With manly.cour
age bo united, in sn emiuont degroe, a woman's
kindness ?nd gentleness, which greatly endosred
hyn to his fallu w-euld ?cr*.' Ho declined a Lieuten
ante)- in the reguiar army, bocauso it was not his
parpu.i? to in-*ke arms his profession after the war
waa over. His loss is a sad bereavement to bis
family and friunds. It Las wrung a widowed
