The.

press, as the conservator mid watch-IBM Of ftfedoin, inn! flmul upon the battlc-inontfl of the temple of liberty and cry aloud to tho defondcra of our couutry, and warn them of every ipproaollfng danger. There is a danger threnteniug us more potent tUan the bullets of mi miiicil foe, or the universal hate of a combined and powerful enemy. We allude to the provision question. Wo do not mean to sny we have not enough for the present emergency, or for the next twelve mouths hut now is the time to look further ahead, and penetrate the dim vista of the future, and see what is necessarv to be done in view of what our wants may bt at that distant day. Now ij the time to sow down an immense number of broad acres of wheat, barley, oats end rye, for future con sumption, for the army as well as for those who are dependent by nnson of the presence of their protectors in the army of the conn try.

We see it stated in several of our neigh boring papers that there nre those in their respective counties who intend that their lands shall lie idle and their labor remain unproductive. This is not as it should be. No patriot should, or will, remain idle in these days that try men's souls." A thousand famishing tongues will cry out and condemn such a course of conduct. Though the star of hope maybe momentarily obscurod by the clouds of adversity, the rainbow of hope still spans the heavens, aud the beacon light of promise looms on the horizon. Then, let no one fold his hand in apathy and trust he will not be held liable for the talents and the privileges intrusted to him.

Let each aud every planter sow every acre possible in small grain, and make preparations to plant a full crop of corn, potatoes, peas, to support themselves, and have a large surplus to spare the government and those who have no lands to sow. Those who neglect this great duty are but cuuiberers of the ground, and deserve nought bat to be cut down and cast out. Let each planter or husbandman in tho country regard himself as the party to whom the exhortation is expressly directed to think not of failure in our great cause, but to bend every energy to the production of another crop, confident that the God of liberty, justice aud right is on our side, and will vouchsafe our fina) success and independence. We hope this subject will be canvassed amongst the planters, and one universal determination adopted to do their whole duty in this matter. They will be rewarded by the consoling reflections that they have done their duty as patriots and benefactors of mankind if not in the more tangible form of clear profits.

The nation needs and ought to hare their services, and they should be given with cheerfulness and alacrity. lM 1 1 I I k'pt up balwaan fiiama'rM all day, Knemy did nut i but liaa ifflffaj hi MtMMllll tar, Wuuliria, Jnbiiati thraw a nm. il.tr of mi nnr Iftlnml S.w ink llarald ol Hip Ii r. iva it lliihmmi.l iirl-au ilte of i hf 1 1 It bfltjfl intelligence of tin opriiiliiiiii of tb Kedarall, under Wmbliiirrif, in Iho Tei ha I ooiintn lli Wblt In" in killed, wotimlad nnd prisoner, i7T.

Major Long, of East wa ni rented by Iturnside some time airo, and condemned to he hung. It was alleged that he was recruiting within the Federal lines.

When Col. lift was captured he was thus engaged in this business, (icn. Bragg at once dispatched a messenger to Burnslde, with the assur ance that if Major Long was executed. Col. Clift would sutTer the same fate.

While Col. Clift was uuder this sentence, his son, one of the bravest men in the Southern army, visited him. The meeting is described as extremely touching. The father bow ed his head in sorrow and shame, and uttered not a word; the son gave him hla hand, Stating that a fathomless abyss now separated them, and that he could only bid him adieu and ask God to pardon his betrayal of his State. Tho answer of Burnsfde to the demand of Bragg was, that he had not heard of Major Long.

The inference is that Long has already been executed, and it is probable that Col. Clift is doomed. Wanted to Buy, AT this Office, a good Cook, Washer and ti. Ironer also, an active negro boy, 14 or 15 years old. Oct.

A variety of small investments are being made, which are giving strength to the quotation, and now the loan may be considered as fully paid up, it is probable a further advance may take place.

In point of courage nnd moral nliribnles, (hern ii no perceptible disparity. There must be, then, same influence (hat strengthens the South or weakens the Norih, to explain the fact that after nearly three years of active warfare, piosecuted by the Administration with the intensity of fanaticism, our great armies have been baffled, our fleets repulsed, and the ene- my confirmed and strengthened in the spirit of resistance to a degree that renders their annihilation the evident condition ol their subjugation.

It cannot be said that the Got'etn-ment has made no thorough application of the resources of the country, for warfare furnishes no parallel to the completeness and extent of the armies, navies and general machinery of war have been used in this undetermined struggle. That influence which lias made null all our past efforts, is one which intensifies as the strife proceeds, and will always be found equal to any physical force that we can bring into 'he field. It is the soul of enlightened manhood, which, although it may be cowed in individuals, can never be conquered in a people. It may fail in aggressive, but never in defensive warfare. Where the issue is some question that effects only the dignity or interest of a naticn, it may yield its point to physical superiority but when it ta aroused lo the vindication of the principle of political existence it is indomitable.

No enlightened people, educated to free dom, have ever been essentially subdued. Their territory may have been overrun. their armies destroyed and their capitals occupied by invaders, but they have always preserved the spirit of nstional in dependence which, however' shackled, awaits the hour of its redemption. If our statesmen would but give their intellects some respite from preoccupation upon the military situation, they might appreciate how futile must be the attempt to subjugate the will of such a people. What signifies the conquest of tbeir territory if the spirit of repugnance to political companionship with the North ia unrestrained We have to conquer physical resistance, which has thus far defied oar utmost efforts and which, being conquered, will give us but so many disaffected provinces to be controlled by military agencies, to the destruction of our republican institutions.

We have urged suspension of hostilities, chiefly because we are assured that statesmanship is paralyzed by civil strife and fails to consider the true solution of the political problem. Let reason have its opportunity, and there is heart aid brains enough in either section to hear its counsels and abide by its decisions. aWKT.
