teH whether their movements are preliminary

‘•The Devoted Band.”—The shortest patl;
to peace is that which carries havoc and des
olation to our invaders. It is believed thal
there are five or ten thousand men in the South
ready and willing to share the fate of Curtins,
and devote themselves to the salvation of tbeii
country. It is proposed that all who anf will
ing to make this sacrifice, shall arm them
selves with a sword, two five shooters and a
carbine each and meet, on horse-back, at some
place to be designated, convenient for the great
work in hand. Fire and sword must be car
ried to the houses of those who are visiting
those blessings upon their neighbors. Phila
delphia, and even New York, Is not beyond
the reach of a long and brave arm. The mo
ral people of these cities cannot he better
taught the virtues of invasion than by the
blazing light of their own dwellings.
None need apply for admission to “THE
DEVOTED BAND” hut those who are pre
pared to take llieir life in their hand, and who
would indulge not the least expectation of
ever returning. They dedicate their lives to
the destruction of their enemies!

A Religious War.—Harriet Beecher Stowe
proposes that the present struggle between the
North and the South shall be designated “The
Religious War.” In this we are inclined to
agree with the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
It is a religious war. It is the Bible and pure
Christianity against infidelity and God dishon
oring crimes, and we are glad to sec that the
churches of the South are alive to their respon
sibility in this regard. We learn that in two
days dui ing the present week 175,000 pages
of religious tracts were sent from this city
into the various encampments’—[Richmond
Dispatch.

LiEttr. Col. J. P. Pryor.—This gentleman,
who was taken prisoner by the Yankees on the
day of the great battle, called upon us yes
terday, having effected his escape when the
great stampede took place. He informs us that
the statement, copied by the Southern papers
from the Baltimore Sun, in regard to his cap
ture, is a monstrous falsehood. He made them
rt irnml eoeatel.ui cnonoh o nr! uroa of ill fol I/inrr
when a few shots from Kemper’s Battery
knocked over a number of his captors, and
the remainder fled, leaving their prisoner be
hind. Col. Pryor promises us a statement of
his adventures for publication.— [Richmond
Dispatch.
(£5?*The New York World admits that the
rebellion in the South is not the in.er# gratuit
ous treason that northern agitators, who did
so much to call it into existence, insist upon.
It says:
That the South has.no cause for disaffection
is more than we can say. The long continued
attacks upon its favorite institution from
northern presses, pulpits, churches, state
legislatures, and inividuals even in congress,
are not to be set down as nothing. By some
they were intended to sunder the Union; by
more, however, only to exterminate slavery—
as though the latter could be peaceably done
wihhout the former.
