" Pay the Soldiers." Let every paper in the interior take up this cry- and continue it until ar rangements are made, first, for paying the soldiers all that is due, and second ly, once in three months thereafter.— We neither know nor care who is at ■ fault in this matter, but we believe it ; rests between the neglect of army offi cers and the pay department. If so, the President ought to kick the whole posse out of office forthwith, and ap point those who will attend to this im portant duty, for thousands ofhelpless women and children are dependent for subsistence on this pay, or must obtain means from the cold charitv of the public. The daily press in the cities is to) much engaged in publishing long winded homilies on peace, the proper mode of conducting the war, disserta tions on French or British podicv, Ac., for any of its editors to write on such a common subject, and we therefore call upon the country- press to make itself beard. Let the cry go forth— NOT A DOLLAR TO ANY CITVLIAX UNTIL THE SOL DIER is PAID OFF, both now and here after. Rumors of Peace. The newspapers and letter writers continue to be tilled with rumors of peace movements both north and south, and from the fact that gold last week • suddenly fell to —OO and lias since va- • ried but little above that figure, we 1 incline to the opinion that efforts are ! being made to bring about thatdesira- j b!e event. We must not however. J build too much on our hopes, for with our successes the desperate leaders at Richmond may become more desperate and rashly- fight until their whole country- is overrun by our victorious j troops. Their last move, that of arm- i ing the negroes, must hasten their \ downfall, for as this wicked rebellion j was ostensibly- commenced to extend ! and perpetuate slavery, it takes but little foresight to 6ee that when the rebel leaders themselves undertake to • set slaves free and thus in copperhead j parlance make them equal to their masters, the masters are not likely ! long to remain pliant tools. Besides, the total insecurity of property in the rebel states, no man being able any longer to call even the product of his labor and farm his own—the convic tion that the Giant North is daily- be- I coming more formidable, both on land j and sea, while the self-created confed- ! eracy is daily growing weaker the utter ruin and poverty of thousands 1 who under federal rule were prosper ous and happy—all combine to show that the fanatical and chimerical j schemes hatched by Calhoun aud his coadjutors in Gen. Jackson's term, and : carried out by the black hearted trait- 1 ors Breckinridge, Davis, Cobb and : others under the imbecile administra- ; tion of James Buchanan, have not only failed in establishing a Black Oli-' garehy, but uuder the plain rulings of a higher power bave produced a con-! trary effect. There is a desire evident in all quarters through rebeldom tore turn to peaceful pursuits, again to live under the stars and stripes, and while many may not relish the idea of losing j their slaves, yet when it is reduced to n choice they will more cheerfully sub mit to such a loss at the hands of their former beneficent government than to be further robbed bv Jef Davis A Co. j Gloomy—Subj agnation. The Richmond Examiner of a recent date makes the following sombre re flections upon the rebel situation. If there is a scintilation of comfort or consolation to be derived from it, we hope it may do those whom it may concern good; but we don't see it: There is such a thing as heartbreak for nations, as 'or individuals 'I here are such things as hopelessness and despair, lethargy and apathy. A conviction that all that it will do must come to naught, all sacrifi ces it can be rendered vain, by an irre deemable cause—a conviction resting on rational grounds, both of reflection and of experiment, will produce this state of feel ing in any nation, however heroic and however obstinate. The Charleston Mercury also has an article written in a spirit of bravado usual to that region, but which shows that disaffection has reached all classes. It says: Before bringing ourselves to face the enemy, it is absolutely essential that those in command bring themselves to face vital evils existing within our own lines. The path ice are now traveling is straight to destruction. The crisis of the Confederacy has arrived in fatal earnest. The result ot the next six months will bring the Confederacy to the ground, or will re in state its power. IFfl/mul reform we. are doomed. There is more thau one depart ment of the Government in which reform is important. But reform in our armies is esseutial—is vital. Without it death of the Con federacy is already tolled. With the proper reform made, he is a coward who carries his heart in his boots. There are men in the land—there is fight in the land '. It is thj imbecile that is sick at heart—it is the coward whose stomach is weak. There is nothing be ' fore us that cannot be overcome; but to do it, there must be a new state of things in stituted. We say again, there must be nerve. Men in command must not be afraid to die—they must not be afraid to kill. Ojficers must be killed —not mere privates. Reform must begin at the top, not at the bottom of the service. To reach the private, captains must be shot. We want no child's play—we want an army. AN hat is a man s life to the institutions and the liberty of the country? Nothing. Let the old things pass away—let us have a new condition of things. NVe want no more Jeff l'avis' foolery; we want one atom of brains, one spark of nerve—we want no mermaids with heads of monkeys and fishy attachments at the nether extremities— we want men, real men, earnest men— North Carolina, Georgia and South Caroli- j na are in no mood for trifling. They have had enough of this sort of thing. They don't intend to have much more. Souh Carolina don t intend to be conquered. She intends to fight. She don't intend to be hampered or turned over to the enemy. When she is thus dealt with, there will be a reckon, ing—a reckoning where there will be no respecters of person. NV ewanllm pli ci t order and calm forecast. South Carolina is a Commonwealth of order; we expect order, and we demand order. We a e ac customed to order. NVe are not used to lawless ruffianism; we do not intend to suf fer it. A most onerous but imperative dutv devolves upon the commander of this de* partiaent, whoever he is. That duty— this first and most essential duty—is to cashier and shoot. N\ ithout it nothing CUD be done, and ShermsD conquers us. With it, he is a coward who succumbs at heart. Lverything is at stake; everything that is in the way must be faced and trampled upon. The man who commands here must put his heart in his pocket, and his sword in his hand. He must know uothing but the good of the Confederacy. That he must do regardless of official weakness The end must be radical reform. It is folly to t lk of red tape now, we want the thing, we must haye it—reform, shooting, cashiering, order, subordination, soldiers—not runaways, ragamuffins, ruf fians. NVe want and we must have, brains an l pluck in commanders, and implicit obedience and order in subordinates and soldiers. Six paces and a steady arm will do the business, if repeated sufficiently often, especially among commissioned offi cers. It. however, commanding officers will not do their duty in this matter, let all men shut their books, for the end will hive well nigh come. The time is short—will it be improved? The Richmond NN hig chimes in RS foliovvs: The disasters which we have sufered of late, are not only not irrepairable , but they are not so great as others we have suffered on other occasions. Rut the people have become more depressed by them than they ever were before, because theg have been Jiattered by hopes of peace by persons who wed knew there could be no peace short of submission and enslavement. This fit of depression has been longer, and more vio lent than formerly, because thev see that Congress to which they naturally turn for encouragement, trifling on the very edge °, ! he with a reckless disregard of their situation, which prompt the rulers when the ship is about to go down, to break open the spirit room, and drown their fears m liquor. They see little hopes in that quarter. Congress is in fact assisting the enemy by encouraging a disposition to croak which seems to have beset the whole country. A little prompt aotion, a slight displaj of resolution, a few words to keep up the confidence of the people, would work won ders. Cannot Congress arouse itself and become equal to the task? Such articles are cold comfort- What haven't they got in Lewistown.— Beliefonte Press. A very pertinent query, Mr. Press, whicli we shall answer in our own way.
