Extract from the Tenth Chapter of
Joshua—with a new translation.
Now it came to pass when Abe Lincoln.
King of the Abolitionists at Washington City
had heard how JetF. Davis had taken Fort.
Sumpter, and how the inhabitants of Virginia
had made peace with the children of Davis
and were among them :
2. That he feared greatly, because Rich
mond was a great city, as one of the royal
cities, and all the men of Virginia were mighty.
3. Wherefore Abraham, King of Wash
ington, sent unto the five Abolition Governors
of New York, Massachusetts, .Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, saying,
4. Come np unto me, and help me, that we
may smite Virginia, for it hath made peace
with JefF. Davis.
5. Therefore the five abolition governors
gathered theii armies together and went np
and camped before Manassas and made war
against Virginia.
F>. And the men of Virginia, sent unto .TefF.
Davis at Montgomery, saying, Slack not thy
hand from thy servants but come up to us
quickly and save us and help us; for all the
Abolitionists of the North are gathered togeth
er against us.
7. So Jeff. Davis ascended from Montgom
ery, and all the men of valor with him.
"8. And the Fiord discornfitted them before
the children of the South, and they were slain
with a great, slaughter at Manassas, and they
were chased along the way that goeth up to
Centreville, and smitten to Alexandria, and
near unto Washington City.
And it came to pass as they fled from before
the children of the South, that there were
more that died from fear than were slain by
the sword.
For there was no day like that before it, for
the Lord fought for the children of the South.
And JefF. Davis said, Stay ye not but pur
sue after your enemies and smite the hindmost
of them, and suffer them not to enter their
cities.
And JefF. said to the children of the South.
Fear not, for thus shall the Lord do to all
your enemies.
Who Killed Cameron.—A correspondent
of the Richmond Whig lately attributed the
Kin: /"M. i .— „ a
Seventy-ninth (Scotch) regiment, to £‘Old
Texas,” who is thus described by the South
Carolinian :
“Old Texas” will be remembered by every
one who was on Morris’ Island during the
eventful scenes there. His name is A. J.
Hartley, a printer by trade, and a man of a
good deal of intelligence. He resided formerly
in Memphis, but left there several years since
for a small town in Northern Texas, where he
established a paper, which he had pushed up
to (he point of making a good living. Being
a bachelor, he made his home in the office,
and by industry and perseverence had sur
rounded himself with many comforts, all of
which he saw destroyed in one night by the
abolitionists, he escaping with only the
clothes he had on. Those who have heard
him relate his story will not soon forget the
flashing of his eye as he drew his tall form to
its utmost hight, and uttered his imprecations
against the coward[y thieves who had des
troyed the labor of years. It was not surpris
ing that he was among the first to volunteer in
defense of Ihe South against those whom he
considered his natural enemies. The above
incident is characteristic of the man. We
regret to learn that he is Wounded, but trust
he may soon be able to take his place again,
and assist in cancelling some part of the debt
of vengeance he owes the invaders of our soil.
A Minnie Ritie Manufactory has been
established in New Orleans, and is now in
successful operation. The rifle turned out is
said to be equal in all respects, in accuracy
of bo a, completeness, durability and elegance
of flush to any made in the North, in England,
France or Belgium. The establishment, upon
its present basis, is capable of making ten
rifles a day.
Large quantities of arm3 and ammuni
tion are still being sent to Fremont at St. Louis.
Col. John S. Preston, of South Carolina,
bas been appointed by the President, and con
firmed by Congress, assistant adjutant general
..c (K- r*.... .1_t-~ _.... ~I.
of lieutenant colonel. No one better deserves
the promotion. During the battle of Manas
sas, though having no command, Colonel Pres
ton was in every part of the field, bearing or
ders, posting companies, and rallying strag
glers. His conduct is spoken of with much
admiration.
Sigxific\nt.—The last number of the Lon
don Illustrated News contains, as a supple
ment, a large map of the United States and Con
federates States. It may be significant that
the two sections are colored diffently, and the
States of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland
are included in the Confederate States.
(H3T' Gen. Beauregard who certainly has
the best right to decide in the matter, has de
termined to call the great battle of July 21st,
“The Battle of Manassas Plains.” The fight
on the 18th will be called “The Battle of Bull
Run.”
(jg^” It is stated that Mrs. Hart, wife of
the late superintendent of public printing, has
succeeded in making her escape from Wash
ington with valuable information for the Con
federate government. Mrs. H. accomplished
her purpose by the way of the Potomac.
(J3^"The Richmond Examiner says that pre
vious to the passage of the law by our Con
gress for the increase of the army to 400,000
men, it was ascertained from official sources
that we now had no less than 210,000 in the
field.
g^"The Pensacola correspondent of the
Intelligencer, Atlanta, writing on the 4th inst.
says that “yellow fever has made its appear
ance in their gloomy midst”—meaning the
garrison at Fort Pickens.
jjgp” 7’he Columbus Sun states that many <rf i
the planters of south-western Georgia are en- j
gaged in picking cotton, and the crops gener
ally of that section of the State are very
promising.
