Tall holt better than no holt. The following laughable affair is from a book entitled Fisher's River Scenes and Characters. The incident is located in North Carolina. It is the story of a man named "Oliver Stanley," who was taken captive by wild "Injuns," After some consideration, they put him into an empty oil barrel and headed him up, leaving the bung hole open that he might be longer dying. The prisoner relates a portion of his experience in this wise: I determined to get out'n that or bust a trace; and so I pounded away with my fist till; I beat it into nearly a jelly, at the end of the bar'l but it were no go. Then I butted a spell with my noggin, but I had no purchase like old rams when they butt; fur, you know, they back ever so far when they make a tilt.--So I caved in, made my last will and testament, and virtually gave up the ghost. It war a mighty serious time with me, to be sure. While I were lying there, balancing accounts with t'other world, and afore I h

ill take up arms in defence of the Confederate States. Gen. Pillow had arrived at Montgomery to offer President Davis a division of Tennessee troops. The martial excitement once begun will certainly spread, seize all minds, and at no distant date carry these States out of the Union. Had the Border States, however, even remained firm, it would have been a difficult task for Mr. Lincoln to carry on such a war as he meditates. A march from the North through the States of Virginia and North Carolina to Charleston seems an enterprise beyond the powers of the Federal forces. The country would be almost that of an enemy, for the sympathies of the slave-owners would be everywhere with their Southern friends.--It is difficult to conceive that this project has ever been entertained. We must believe that expeditions by sea are the means by which the President intends to bring the rebels to obedience. Now, operations of this kind are not only very difficult in the face of a strong and re

solution was laid on the table. The committee on time and place of next meeting reported, through Rev. S. Landrum, in favor of Friday before the second Sabbath in May, 1863--the place Columbus, Mississippi--preacher Rev. Wm. Williams, of S. C.; Alternate, Rev. J. L. Burrows, of Va. The report was laid on the table temporarily. Rev. George Bushyhead, a Cherokee Indian, was introduced by Rev. S. Landrum, and addressed the Convention in favor of his church and congregation in North Carolina. Rev. J. P. Boyce, of S. C., offered the following: Resolved, That a special committee of five be appointed to consult with the Board of the Southern Baptist Publication Society as to the possibility of a Union of the Bible Board and that Society; and if a union be found practicable, which will not conflict in any way with the Constitution of the Convention or that Society, and which in their judgment will increase the efficiency of the Bible Board, the committee be directed

opted by the Federal Administration, we copy the following circular of instruction to Collectors and other officers of the customs on the Northern and Northwestern waters of the United States: On the 19th day of April, 1861, the President of the United States, by proclamation, declared the ports of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas under blockade, and on the 27th of the same month, by another proclamation, declared the ports of Virginia and North Carolina also under blockade, since which proclamation this Department has received reliable information, that attempts are frequently made to furnish arms, munitions of war, provisions and other supplies to persons and parties in those States in open insurrection against the constitutional authorities of the Union. It becomes my duty, therefore, to instruct you to cause a careful examination to be made of the manifests of all steam or other vessels departing from your port with cargoes whose ul
