sternation, bordering despair is evident
by the speeches of their Ctuzresswer,
:Cabitietetricere, and in their newspapers.
Ituin'tind desolation stares them in the
taco. Their war and 'legislative councils
'ore diiided and distracted.
' They hive been heaping up wrath
against the day of wrath, and have s'imn
tie wind to reap the whirl-wind. 'they
hive raised n storm which they can not
lay They deliberately ignited the vol
cano that.is pouring fiery streams of des
olation throughout every portion of the
stiony south. - Their conditiuu is truly
deplorable ; but God will - nit work mira
cles to save such a mass of political and
moral putrescoacy,'but will rather let fly
•thebolts or his wrath, mingled with the
grape and canister of our loyal army, to
ventilate their villainous crimes, and
teach thein that there is a God who
reigns and rules the armies of Heaven
and earth, and make them quake with
that fearful looking fbr of his wrath
and fiery indignation that will consume
the workers of iniquity.
'No believe it was St. Pierre who p
said "when human' policy fastens the
chain around the ankle of the slave, di
vine justice rivets the other end around
the neck of the waster, with the intent
that no man shall reap prosperity at the
expense and toil of another!? • Our de
nunciations arc not intended to apply to
the whole peOple of the South, The
leaders of the rebelliCl,'whricajoled the
masses by their sophistry, or 'ederced
them into secession by threats and point
pf the bayonet, are mainly responsible
for the calamities of this war. Many,
very many of the sons of the South would
have remained loyal had it not been for
the wicked mechinations and brute force ]
of their slave-holding countrymen, who
were unwilling to submit to the will of
the majority, and made the election of
Mr. Lincoln•a 'pietext for' 'an attempt to
dissolve the Union. The leading dema
gogues of the South who had always had
more than' their share of the public offi
ces, saw they were about to lose the "bal
ance of Power." They envied the super.
ior thrift and progress of the North that
would in 'a few years outstrip them •in
the race of prosperity ; and, for fear the
masses of their countrymen Might learn
that free labor was the .true secret of
norther)] prosperity, resolved separate
from a people whose example might ulti
mately sap the foundation of their peels.
I.ar• institution, destroy their long estab
lished aristocracy, and dry up the main
source of their surreptitious'gains.
We of the North are greatly to blame
for much of their insolence. We humor
ed them like spoiled children. They
thretaened to dissolve the Union. W.e
coaxed them to remain, and gave them a
fugitive slave law, most degrading'wthe
freemen of the North, Inaking them slave
catchers to these donomineering fire eat
ers, who have for many years been
breathing threathenings, slaughter and
death upon all who did not bow before
the Moloch of slavery.
That war is upon us with all its havoc
end devastation. Sorrow and sighing is
heard throughout every portion of the
land. Scarcely a family North or South
but has lost one or more of its members
in this cruel, needless, bloody slave.hold
er'n war: The 'beautiful sunny' South,'
with ifs fertile fields and snubbing or
chards, land of the palmetto and olive, of
cooling springs and sparkling rivers, has
been trodden by the iron hoof of War,and
is but a blackened and charred 'desola
tion. Already the sable captives of
Ethiopia have passed more than half way
through the sea of blond. Soon their
song of deliverance will echo over earth
and reach the ear of the Almighty who
will smile benignantly, while Angels
and the spirits of the redeemed will
take up the sweet refrain—Glory to
God in the highest! Peace on earth
.and good will to men!

The well struck on Sugar Creek, a Eliort

lubric oil daily, worth 820 per barrel at
the well. A thousand dollars a day pro.

more of the same sort from that quarter

Intelligence from North Carolina pa
pers indicate that both the Unionists and
rebels are concentrating their forces on
her borders for the final-struggle. The
Raleigh Progress says that the Federals
are concentrating a force of forty thou
sand at Newbern, to strike I ee's army
in conjunction with Sherman's forces.
It is stated that information has been
received from Winchester, confirming
the news brought into Gen. Grant's lino•
by deserters, of a victory achieved by
Sheridan over Early in the valley. The
battle took place near Waynesboro, and
resulted in the capture by Sheridan of
40 rebel officers. 1300 men, S cannon
and over 100 wagons.
The report does not give the date of
the battle. Waynesboro 'is on the Vir
ginia Central Railroad, at the west base
of the Blue Ridge, about 15 miles from
Staunton and 25 from Charlottesville.
We have received the following famil
iar letter from a valued correspondent
who has lately emigrited to the gold re
gion:, and taken up her abode with her
husband on the Columbia River,near the
dividing line cds Oregon and Washington
Territory. It was not written fur pub
lication, yet we lay it before our readers,
asking pardon of the fair writer, as we
know it will be read with interest. We
will here take occasion to thank the wri
ter for a very fine specimen of gold dust.
[Ed. Spy.]
WIND Mousrms, Jan. 12, 1863
Mrt. have laid aside my
work this eve, for the purpose of address
ing you a few lines. I have been try
ing to do so fur some time past, but as
there seems to be no end to my work, I
have put it aside, determined to write to
night if I only get as far as the bottom
of this page. I have the 3ISS promised
long ago and a letter, descriptive of my
journey here, not, as you have it in your
answers to correspondm ts, •' round Cape
Horn," but by way of the Isthmus,
which I commenced soon after my arri
val, but which, as I was visiting round,l
could not finish. ' It shall appear in due
time with the rest, and permit me now
to confine myself to a short sketch of my
wild home ou the banks of the Columbia
River, where the Spy visits me with its
cheerful and intelligent face, as often as
the Fla boat goes to the Dalles, which is
as often as the winds will permit, say
once in a few weeks, or as often as the
Steamers arrive. It is a wild rough
home. The house is built of rough
boards, and so rough I guess I've pull
ed out a thousand and one small splinters
from my hands. I hope soon to learn
how to stroke them the right way
for I believe there is a right and a wrong
way to do everything. It stands on the
south bank of the Columbia Rites, about
225 miles from its mouth following the
River. while to Puget Sound on a " bee
line," it is but 70 miles. It stands op
posite Wind Mountain, from Which we
have named the place, a large mountain
which rises abruptly from the water's
edge, its base guarded by a•ledge of rook
full of seams made by the steps Of • the
many years that have tread over its ada
mant sides.
The mountain is barren, covered 'via:
rockS and sand, so that as the wind pass
es over it it causes a hoWi, and we have
the wind here, " hi yu" as the Indians
call it, or'" big" as we interpret it. Per
haps 'tis the royal throne of old Boreas.
So it takes its name Wind mountain. As
the wind goes rushing through the tall
fir woods on this side it causes a sound
like the rushing of many waters, which
aad'ed•to the deep roar of old Columbia
River, and the screech of the owls, I
have music fur the million, the like of
which no organ tones can imitate, and
which charms me 'quite as' much. This
place was but two years ago one ]cnse
Brest, in which the woodman's az had
never sounded, and when the machinery
was brought hero for the erection of a
steam saw tall, it had to remain in the
boat while trees could be felled anl a
place cleared on which to land it. Now
th2re is a mill in operation which will
cut 5000 feet of lumber per 12 hours,
which sells readily fur t 35 per M., a
boarding bouse,bara and blacksmith shop
a log cabin, my home, and the tannery
consisting of three large buildings, ca-
pable of tanning and finishing 3000 hides
pei year, - Last July, husband planted
potatoes in the middle of the month, and
in due season, took out 150 bushels of
the nicest potatoes you ever seen j latge
and to give you d speciradli of titie,thielt
let me say, when boiled,- todi men ate of
It and had qttite a piece - jet. Thii is a
fact. lam happy to say the:only
Mie'as.large, but they are allfof a larger
size than one usually finds in efitit of
potatoal. The turnips and cabbages are
I still in the ground the tops green and the
middle of January, :`, This isiteaks.for the
weather. We find here plenty of game-
Deer, Swan, Ducks, Blue Hero, Beavers,
Seal, Wild Cuts, Catamounts, Cougars
stud Bears. !Iy dogs tried a Catamount
a few days since and my husband's rifle
put a ball thr..ugh his bead. I have a
change in my bill of fare often. Veni
son, (I have a quarter waiting a roast,)
one day ducks, another, &c. I have seen
Swan sailing up the river, and one can
spend a month more or lesi with his rifle,
successfully exploring the wild forest
which comes to my back door, and from
which I can stand and peer into its black
depths rising upward, onward to the top
of Mt. Flood at whose base I have made
my home. And hero I am so happy.—
Here I see primeval Nature, as it was
before the foot of white man ever press
ed the soul. Where I can "see God in
every tree and hear Him in the wind,"
Here I have come and with my best
loved ones have a home where I ant 'mon
arch of all I survey" being the only
white woman on the place. Two bright
eyed little girls of four and six summers
greet me with sweet kiss a every morn,
and almost every hour in the day, assail
"ma" fur a kiss, and a dear, kind good
husband to love and protect me, and who
never gets jealous tho I do write to "my
Ed." Alt no! for he said to me the
other day. "Why don't you write a
short letter to your Ed. ?" Why do you
suppose he said short ? He sits by and
lil ask hint. Ah we ! he says "I pre
sume a short one would be more accept.
able to him." I have it now "short and
sweet" that's it, but I can't make it short
and so I suppose is must be sour. Dear
n:e, what shall I do? But I won't st..p
now
E]
You'll find enclosed the specimen of
Yellow ore spoken of. Every where I
go I scrutinize every bit of rock to see
if I can find some more. I find quarts
of rocks but the rocks do not as yet turn
out to be quartz When I find a lump
as big as a brick I'll send you some
more, this was taken from the "John
Day" mines in Washington Territory.—
I will send you some items cut from the
papers of their richness. The steamers
which go down the river, have large
loads of dust übout every day. My hus
band saw a man going down in the boat
who had a sack which it took two men
to lift and one as much as ho could lift.
'Tis no uncommon occurrence r will
send you papers oecasionly if you like.,
Look out for more from me soon. I
think 1 can send you something of in
terest. If I send anything which has
spoiled with long keeping, commit it to
the flames, they will purify it.
I ant 45 miles from the Post Office
one way and 75 the other, and have to
depend on "opportunity" to carry the
mail'and he is quite uncertain, so I have
sometimes to write in a hurry, as I do
to night for if the wind changes it can
go tomorrow. The wind!! blows only
up and down river. The flat boats sail
by the wind, and await it.
Respectfully

the Baptist Church, Pemberton,
N. J.,
formerly of the North Baptist Church,
Philadelphia.
I have known Hoollands's Gorman Bit
ters favorably for an u tuber Of VCArli. I have
used them in jay own family, mid hare
been so pleased with their effects that
was induced to recommend them to mam
others, and know that they have operand
in a strikingly beneficial manner. I take
great pleasure in thus publicly proclaim
ing tins fact, and calling the attention to
those afflicted with the diseases for which
they are recommended to these Bitters
knowing from experience that my recom
mendation will be sustained. do thi.
cheerfully as lloolland's Bitters is intend
ed to benefit the afflicted, "not a ram
drink."
From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Edi
tor oft he Eneyclopedia of RefigioffsKnowit
edge amd Christian Chronicle Ph adelphia:
Although not disposed to favor or recom ,
mend Patent Medicines in general, t !trough
distrust of their ingredients and effects, I
yet know of no sufficient reasons w•hy:t
man may not testify to the benefits he be
lieves himself to have received from any
simple preparation, in the hope that lie
may thus contribute to the benefit of oth
ers.
I do this more readily in regard to Roof
land's German Bitters, prepared by ])r fl
Jacksen, this city, bemuse I was preju
diced against them for ninny years, muter
the impression that they were chiefly
an alcoholic mixture. I inn indebted toner
friend, Robert Shoemaker. for the
re movalof this prejudice by propertestsuml
tbrenvouragemeni to try them when:miler ,
lag from great and ong eon t blued debility:
The use of three bottles of these bitters at
the present year, Was followed by evident
relief and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for
six monthsbelbre,and had fil most despaircii
of regaining. I therefore thank God and
my friend for direeting inc to use them

my usual course, to express my fall con
viction that, for general debility of the sys

arc a safe and ratable preparation. In sumo

it will be very beneficial to those who suf
