Constitution, and endeavors of excuse them on the Dictator's and Tyrant's plea of the necessities of the State. He calls for four hundred thousand men, and characterizes the grave movement which so immense an armament is necessary to put down, as a rebellion. He demands four hundred millions of dollars, and, without pointing out the sources from which the amount is to be derived, declares in a small sum of money compared with the two or three millions which the Revolution of 1776 cost. The document seems to be the joint work of Seward and of Lincoln--the patch work of knave and fool. It is the sort of paper which such men as Carlile and Pierpont, in Wheeling, or Brownlow and Nelson, in East Tennessee, would call great; but which will only provoke the contempt of the patriotic South and the intelligent world. It the North can put forth no abler, manlier, more elevated or more eloquent a defence of its course than this paper, then it must expect that cause to be voted a bad one.

Military books. --The iniquitous and swindling war initiated by Lincoln and his myrmidons against the South, has created an unprecedented demand for books treating on military matters. The booksellers of Richmond have compensated themselves in some measure by their rapid sale for the comparatively small demand for general literature. Messrs. West & Johnston, of 145 Main street, have besides a large collection of military books any quantity of Hardee's Tactics, Army Regulations C. S. A., Volunteers' Hand-Books, &c., which are eagerly sought after, not only by people here, but by those thousands of miles distant. The war fever may be judged by the fact that within the last six months 20,000 copies of the above works have been sold by them. They are now publishing Col. Gilham's manual for volunteers and militia, and will have 10,000 copies ready by the 20th inst. The work is being done in Charleston, S. C., and the style shows that the South had no need ever to have relied on

elves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions. As a private citizens, the Executive could not have consented that these institutions shall perish — much less could he, in betrayal of so vast and so sacred a trust as these free people had confided to him. He felt that he had no moral right to shrink, nor even to count the chances of his own life in what might follow. In full view of his great responsibility, he has so far done what he has deemed his duty. You will now, according to your own judgement, perform yours. He sincerely hopes that your views and your action may so accord with his, as to assure all faithful citizens who have been disturbed in their rights, of a certain as speedy restoration to them under the Constitution and the laws. And having thus chosen our course without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly hearts. Abraham Lincoln. July 4, 1861.

e command, and recovered the body. The only serious results of the affair were the death of Colonel Dreux and the wounding of one of our men accidentally by one of his fellow-soldiers. Captain Collins, with the men under his command, fell back in good order. It was impossible, from the thickly wooded region in which the enemy were ambuscaded, to tell how many of them were killed and wounded. General Magruder is prepared for any attack that may be made. The infatuated mercenaries of Lincoln are coming on to their doom. Judicial blindness has fallen upon the souls (gizzards?) of their leaders, and God grant that discomfiture and route and ruin to their cause may soon be a patent reality to the world's vision. I regret to say that an Irishman, supposed to be intoxicated, was shot on yesterday at Harwood's mill, below Young's. He would insist on passing the sentinel, notwithstanding he was warned. He died in a short time after he was shot. We are in readiness at our c

lls upon the State authorities to arrest us, with some other Democratic editors, as traitors, simply because, in the language of that enlightened journal, we "are very busy just at this time in heaping abuse and harsh epithets upon the head of Mr. Lincoln." This is the only complaint against us, and we plead guilty ! If so detest Lincoln makes one a traitor, we are as full of treason as an egg is of meat; and, moreover, upon that basis there are four thousand of the best traitors in Fulton counLincoln makes one a traitor, we are as full of treason as an egg is of meat; and, moreover, upon that basis there are four thousand of the best traitors in Fulton county the sun in heaven ever looked upon! Come on with your Black Republican State authorities for the purpose of crushing out free speech! We are willing to be sacrificed upon the altar; and rather than live under a military despotism, such as is invoked by the Republican, we had rather see the State of Illinois running ten feet deep in human gore, and her last inhabitant drowned in the red flood!

fight our battles, victory must perch upon our banners. Latest Intelligence of the recent fight. Since we penned our article about the engagement near Martinsburg, we learn that more prisoners have been captured by our forces. The number is said to be twenty-seven. Among them is a Lieutenant Colonel, a Captain and a Surgeon. They are Pennsylvanians. We have also just received information that the Yankees have taken possession of Martinsburg, and are estimated to be from 15,000 to 18,000 strong. Gen. Johnston is at Darksville, seven miles this side of Martinsburg, and at the time of our writing is preparing to advance upon the enemy. His command is about 13,000. A glorious victory of Southern chivalry over the hirelings of the North, who have audaciously and impudently desecrated our soil with their polluting tread, is hourly expected. The militia of the county have been ordered out, and are rapidly collecting in town, eager for a shot at the minions of Lincoln.

t Washington. They are without opposition, and with no impediments to unrestrained action but those which the bad purposes of bad men invariably create. They find their country in a deplorable condition — we speak of the States which adhere to Lincoln. Trade is prostrate; industry is paralyzed and in despair; bankruptcy is overspreading the land; hope is gone; and their rulers are in the painful dilemma of being obliged either to abandon their policy of coercion, confessing its madness and wiof party, which dares to cope with that organization for political control, or even to question its outrageous acts of unconstitutional usurpation. As to the Federal Constitution, there is none so poor as to do it reverence in all the realms of Lincoln. Here and there a few men like Clement Valllandigham and Franklin Pierce, and the editors of three or four brave and patriotic newspapers, raise their voices against the madness that rules the hour, but like the just men in Sodom, they serve but

liking his quarters on the island, or driven to desperation by the sandflies, swam from the beach at Fort Pickens to our shore, and made his way to the hills, in spite of soldiers and batteries, which were charged in gallant style. Verily, old Lincoln's service must be a hard and degrading one, when his mules desert. The Pensacola telegraph company have put up the posts between Farnesworth and the State line, and in a few days the wires will be stretched — making a direct line to Montgomnd shell this evening. There has been no addition to the fleet within the last twenty-four hours. The transport steamers --which we make out from their rigging, smoke stacks, &c., and now discharging-- are the Vanderbilt, Swan, Atlantic, Illinois and Cahawba. The citizens of Pensacola held a meeting yesterday, and resolved themselves into a military organization of home guards, to be armed in the best possible manner. Let old Lincoln's myrmidons advance — their graves are ope

s last." Yet these melancholy occurrences need act only as lessons of caution, while they should not deter others from prosecuting a similar business. We are beset by dangers every hour of our lives, but that is no reason why we should sit still and watch for them. Some are risking their lives on the battle-field — others in furnishing the means to fight with. Sad as is the death of Joseph Laidley, and valuable as were the services he was rendering to his State, yet, if he be the means of saving others, the awful dispensation will not have been in vain. We learn with regret that not long ago he insured his life for a considerable amount, the whole of which was forfeited when he outered upon this new and hazardous business; and Mr. L., a lady in delicate health, may, in addition to her melancholy bereavement, be called upon to suffer other privations. The victim of Lincoln's ernel war by accident have far outstripped the number of those who have fallen before the enemy.
