The ilea that a people or nation must pay

The New Orleans Delta, of January 29th,
addresses " A, Word to the North," in which
it aSks •" Are those gentlemen. at the North,
who are crying peace and armistice, aware
of the mischief they are doing,? , Are they
'aware - that: in every such utterance they

hopes of the' rebel army, which is only kept
from , revolt : by prOmises of a speedy peace,
which'promises of peace are generally based

upon some speechin CongreSs or in ,
New York? Is it fair t'O decry the finance
of the country—a country whose resources
are such that she can:load .ships with food
and raiment for the,subjects of the haughti.
eat government in Europe—and proclaim
that the nation will be ruined if that State
paper is not withdrawn and this measure
advanced? Why not leave the conduct of
the war to the President and.hfs Generals ?
You say that you are determined - to fight to
the bitter end. Very well."
" What is this measure or that•measure,"
continues the Della—" the adoption or rejec
tion of any particular line 'of policy, on the
part of the Administration—to the one great
duty of the hour, the absolute4rushing of
rebellion."
We recommend these sensible and tmtri
otic words to those persons at the North who
look at every incident in the . war and at
every act of the governMent tykth jaundiced
eyes, who go about scenting misfortunes afar
off, borrowing, trouble for themselves and

the American people for the last two years,
and the legitimate fruit of which is success.
But there are (Idlers. the leaders in this err
against the Administration and against the
eonduet of the war, who have not loyal hearts.
The Vallandighams, the Woods, the Hui:rlics,
the Bucicalews, these and other e:lmpan.

aggerate every defeat of ours, magnify every
trivial success of the enemy, fill the air with
rumors of corruption and waste, and circu
late shameless lies in regard to men in re
sponsible commands and places of trust. It
is they who, after every repulse of our troops,
raise a cry for peace, and thus give the ene
my double encouragement.
Such wretches as these come to light in
every time of war. They gave Washington
much trouhle in the Revolution ; they tried
to depreciate the currency in the war of 1812,
as they do now ; they despaired of the lle-
public in I7SO as in 1863 ; they have found
their ignominious place in the history of
those wars, and their successors of to-day
will not fare better.
The cries of these croakers and conspirators
alarm the timid, but this is all they can do.
The Vallandigham set have had the fullest
swing for months, they have done their worst
without interruption ; have they succeeded
in bringing the war to a dishonorable con
clusion 7 Not so. They have discouraged
many, and they have for a long time sustain
ed the failing hopes of the rebels; that is to
say, they have protracted the struggle. But
dint they have been able to effect its final
issue we do not believe; and there are signs
to day of a powerful popular reaction against
these malignant sympathizers,. Which. will'
shortly make an end of their efforts.
Let us take courage, then ; away wits
gloomy looks, distrust and despondency.—
Every day it is moro . ovident that tho.rabols
are on their last legs, that their resources
are giving out; that their troops aro discon
tented, that tho Southern peOple have been
Oppressed and robbed till they tiro on' the
verge of a rebellion against Davis.
- The alaveholders still hope to succeed by
divisions in the. North and by 'the growth of
despondency here. Let us prove them mis
taken—,as they surely are—and convince
them by our lauguago, as we shall by our
acts, that their mutiny must and shall be put
down.

UNION MEN It a word with yrou Never
before in the history of this country, has there
been a time when so much watt expected from
the PEOPLE!. We are in the midst of Civil
War. Traitors of the darkest dye menace our
National Capital, and seek to destroy the only
free government on earth. All that the Amer

But for the support the Government has al
relidy received from her loyal sons, this day
our glorious Temple of Liberty would have
been razed to the ground, and upon its ruins
"Would have been reared the Slave Pen of the
South, surmounted by the Black Flag—the
fitting emblem of Human Slavery and the
traffic in Human Souls.
Not only have the loyal Men of the North

minds of the ignorant, by the wily Serpent
like Secession Sympathizing leaders of the
Breckinridge Democracy. Whilst we have
open treason in the South, we have also secret

The most signal reaction known in the his
tory of inflated values is just now taking place
against the metal gold. Just as the specula
ting secession sympathizers bf New York had
got us fixed at a depreciation of sonic seventy
per cent, and had completed their argument
as well as"the facts,- behold the golden idol
suddenly breaks into fraginents at their feet.
In three days' time the unprecedented fall of
twenty per cent, occurs, and Monday's stilt
market at 171 is, on Thursday morning only,
down to 150. Certainly this would be a
frightful time if the authors of the gold hub
ble were right. in blowing it up, and in rating
everything else as' nothing beside gold, In
-fact it is a fearful time with the gold speula
tors for the rise. They have to ''carry their
own g , id" with a vengeance, and probably
many of them will be crushed under it never
to rise again.
, For croakers of the hard money stamp we
have one or t tvo questions at this crisis The
first is has the currency of the country risen
twenty per cent.-,in values since Monday ?
Iles nil the properly That has been measured
in greeback dollars since this rise in gold be
gan suddenly risen in .value twenty per cent ?
The stock of currency, too, must vastly profit
those who hold it, if what was worth but six.
ty dollars is to-day worth eighty. Fortunate
are those who trusted in greenbacks and cur
rency, for they have made money, as the gold
theory would prove, at a most ektraordinary
ratelor throe days past, and they are to make
more he'reafter.

a tempting speculation to9nty .and Coll itat
exaggerni ed Values The•temptation carried
its devotees quite off their feet, and they have,
in consequence, ;paid au' immense sum -to
the original !Midas of it as premitmi. All
money so paid serves the good end of going
into better hands by the transfer. The. Spec
ulaiors have at-least paid outall the money
they had to "carry" this gold; and have broken
.down under countless tons of metal 'no
body wants. it is a most admirable and ef
fectimpunishment:.

'Considering this beautiful art in all its re
lations, its discovery and advancement, are
some of the .most wonderfuifeats of modern
science. The Electric Telegraph seems mys
terious, but the laws of electricity are well
known—it is only that subtle fluid itself
which eludes the balance and measuring-rod
of man. Nature is taciturn in her habits,
and it requires man's best ingenuity to fath
om her secrets, and by his greatest assiduity
she will only yield-her treasures step by step.
Morse's effort would have been fruitless in
making use of electricity as a means of com
munication, had not Professor Oersterid laid
down the principles of the temporary mag
net i and so the efforts of Talbot, Daguerre
and others, in producing sun pictures, be
came feasible only by the accidental discov•
cry of the camera obscure. by llabtista Porta.
One of the most singular facts connected
with Photography is the great progress it
made after the discovery of Gun Cotton by
Professor Schoenbein. Gun Cotton dissolv
ed in Ether and Alcohol, with a few grains
of some of the salts of lodine and Bromine
added, forms the layer on which nearly all
negatives and all ambrotypes
- are made at
the present day.
When Prof. Sciroenbein announced his
di.4covery to the world, it was considered the
most. (listructive element yet brought forth
in warfare, tearing up the solid masses of the
earth, and acting as a genii of destruction
in every way ; but behold, as the fearful

BATTLE OF SPRING HILL,
FRANKLIN, Tennessee, March 9
The attack upon our forces wationed near
Spring Hill was led by the rebel General For.
re-t in person, under orders from Generals
Bragg and Van Dorn. The rebel forces were
tter armed and caparisoned than usual, and
were variously estimated at from 10,000 to 20,
000 in numbers. The battle raged with the
utmost, fury , luring Thursday, and out troops
exhibited the greatest, tracery throughout.
THE REINFOECEMENTS
The attack was not a surprise, and was not
altogether unexpected. Plans•had been per•
feeted for the total de•truction of the rebel
Mrces, but cwing to Ille ternble condition of
Ine roads, and the lack of earnestness of pur
pose and per•evt ranee, on the part of some of
our officers high in command, who should
have hurried lorwar,l reinforcements, the day
was lost to IS In this connection, Gen. till

CAMP OF SEVENTH REO . F. P: V. It:C. }
March 9th,
Dear Donau) —As when my last was writ
ten it was not definitely known 'where a per.
maneht camp would be located, it may riot be
uninteresting to your readers to knew that-.

~se -rave remained here Ctlunson's
awl in fill probability will continue to so
if present indications eau be taken as a cri
lesion. As far as we eon see, nothi ng has
been done ;0, rouruit our division. A few
nonvtiles'eent" have ritturned which helpin
a small degree to Brion our ranks, but the
changit is so very mail as to be hardly per
ceptible. Some have-been returned to -their
regiments whose wounds are not yet Itealtal:-
These men are not now, and never will be fit
COY service, and why they ate not discharged
rzmains to us a mystery. • Some have Veen
discharged the service with comparatively
nettling , to justify said discharge,, while oth
ens totally unfit 'are ;compelled to drug out
their existence, until the "powers that be"
see. fit to release them,—there is certainly
'screw loose" some where
Now that our "drum corps" is reorgan-*
ized, our slumbers are broken every morning
by the shrill notes of the " reveille." The(
country around our camp being very level,
ample facilities are afforded for battalkion and
company drills, which healthful amuseinent we
indulge in for two hours to the 'morning and
one in themfternoon. Our regiment has been
well stkpplied with the best of clothing and an
abundance of it. Should one have seen this
regiment at Belle Plaine and contrast its ap..
pearance then with what it is now, he could
hardly be made believe it was the same—so
great was the change.
For a day or two after our arrival here, we
were considerably perplexed by the sound of
heavy artillery, and as was our usual custom
on such occasions, from one end of the camp
to the other the cry was " Lie down! Lie
down :" We seam. 'found out however that
the cannonading came front the heavy guns
of the various torts and .• wits qtly in fan."
Ott Saturday night of the 28th ult., we were
ar o u se d by sounds tf artillety interspersed
with mu-kory, and in a few moments were
informed that Stuart's cavalry were near us.
To get things in readiMess and be in line was
the work of a moment,' and, as is the ith's
preuliqr we were scull out some seven
miles to. strengthen the pickets. The night
was extremely dark, and it was raining in
torrents, but onward we went, to Bailey's
Chess Roads when we halted to load, and
then en to the centre of the picket line—mud
all the way to the knees. We tcached our
destination and remained there ; until 9 o'clock
AM. when we relieved the Regt. on pick
et. All next day distant tiring was heard, of
which you have douhtless rood accounts in
the daily papers We remained at out' post_.
