J. B. Jones, A Rebel War Clerk's Diary, chapter 22 (search)
shington as an offset to Federal spies here among Gen. Winder's policemen; for we knew exactly when the enemy would begin operations in North Carolina, and ordered the cotton east of the Weldon Railroad to be burnt on the 16th inst., yesterday, and yesterday the road was cut by the enemy. I have not heard of the cotton being burnt-and I don't believe it was destroyed. Nor do I believe Gen. Smith knew that Burnside would be defeated in time to send troops from here to North Carolina. Elwood Fisher died recently in Georgia, and his pen, so highly prized by the South for its able vindication of her rights, was forgotten by the politicians who have power in the Confederate Government. All Mr. Memminger would offer him was a lowest class clerkship. He died of a broken heart. He was more deserving, but less fortunate, than Mr. M. It was Mr. Memminger, it seems, who refused to contribute anything to supply the soldiers with shoes, and the press is indignant. They say he is not o

Northern and Southern nations. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says that Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, now in Washington, is one of those men who believe what the boys in the Northern schools and colleges are taught, namely, that the destiny of Southern nations is to be conquered and overrun by Northern races, just as the Germans overran the Romans, He said as much in conversation with Elwood Fisher. "Why," replied Fisher, in his quiet way, "I have read history very differently. The civilized world has been conquered seven times--five times by Southern men, and twice by Northern. The Greeks, led on by Alexander, were Southerners and slaveholders; so were the Romans, under Cæsar; so the Arabs, under Mahomet; the Spaniards, under Philip; and the French, though not slaveholders, are Southerners. I need not tell you what they did under the great Napoleon, nor what position they hold at this day, under his nephew. Have you forgotten how the Moors penetra

He is a native of Lynchburg, Campbell county; and your readers have not forgotten the immense sensation causy years ago, and in which he proved conclusively that so far from the North being richer and more prosperous than the South, the truth was exactly the reverse.--Mr. Fisher holds that the Desideration (as the News, of Knoxville, Tenn. justly calls it) now going on is right in law, right in equity, right in every way. In conversati and showing a double row of long, sharp teeth at them, or, in other words, carrying out Addison's idea of "grinning horribly a ghastly smile." So, according to Mr. Fisher, it will be when the big dogs of the North attack the little dog of the South, "They will smell around the little fellow, take a good look at his long, sharp, w
