Few enjoy continuous health. To what does the océasional invalid attribute his uncertain condition? Not to himeelf, of course. He lays the blame on the cli- mate, perhaps. It is tco hot, or too cold, er too damp. or too dry, er too variable. But dees he take the preper course to fortify his constitution and bedily organs against the extremes and changes of which he complains? No, He says, perhaps, that only an iron man could bear such great heat, or such violent cold. or such sudden viciesitudes. Why then does he not resort to the great Tonic and Preventive, which, if it will not make him an iron man, will at least quadruple the capacity of his tystem to repelall external agencies that tend to produce disease.

Stanton, Sesretary of War. City Point, March 23.—Hon. Edwin M, Stan- ton, Secretary of War: Richmond papers are Teeeived, The following is from the Dis patch: ‘*Frem North Carolina. “Itis umderstoed in official circles that no fighting has occurred in North Carolina since Sunday, and from all we can learn it appears that Sherman bas attempted no advance since his check onthat day. General Hardee's yic- tory on the 6th irstant wasa very important eee and, ag regards the enemy, a most bloody affair, “General Johnston telegraphs that in that battle the Confederate logs was 450, while that of the enemy was 3,300. “The fight took place at Ayerysboro, on the Cape Fear river, half way between Raleigh and Fayetteville. General Johnston’s defeat of the enemy last Sunday, the 19th instant, oc- curred at Bentonville, near the Neuse river. «By these tacts we are informed that Sher- man has been pushing towards Raleigh in two columne—one moving due north from Fayette- ville, the ogher north west from Newbern. Gen- eral Hardee fought the former, Geperal John- ston the latter.” U. 8S. Grant, Lieut. General, FROM MOBILE BAY. The Recent mecen) jamce Teward the ity. For? Gains, March 8.—A daring recon- Hoissnace to the obstructions in front of the city of Mobile was made to-day by General Granger’s despatch boat Laura. She left Fort Gaines about half-past twelve. On board were Major Generals Canby, Granger, and Baldy Smith of the army; Rear Admiral Tnat- cher and Uaptain Franklin, of the navy, to- gether with Captains McAllister, Palfrey, Gray, Eaton, and Barrett of General Uanby’s stalf. Nothing of interest occurred until the Laura arrived opposite the upper obstructions. Ahead, and not more than a mile distant, were Spanish river battery and Battery Gladden To the left of the latter were two “turtle” iron- clacs. Beyond the batteries were three or four gunboats. The Morgan lay to the right of the yams, and thecity of Mobile, mot not more than three and a halt miles distant, was clearly visible beyond all. The Lavra was drifting quietly along, while those on board were reconnoiwring, when sud- denly & wreath of smoke was seen to rise from battery Gladden, and the next instant a Brooks rifle seven-inch shell hissed and wirred di- rectly over head. clearing the Laara about twenty feet, and disapearing in the water about one hundred yards beyond. it was a splendid line shot. The Morgan was the next to fire, and her shot was nearly as good as the other, as it strock the water a few feet abreast the Laura, and richochetted over her clearing her buta very short distance. Another shot from Battery Gladden, far in- ferior to either of the preceding, appeared to be the signal for the batteries on each shore to open. These were light field pieces. Not a single shot took effect. ‘The distinguished officer on board the Laura, not caring to remain a target for rebel practice, gave orders thatshe should return. Up to this time no flag bad been raised on the boat, but as she turned to steam beyend range the stars and striae were hoisted, so that the re- treat was made With *: fiying colors.” There is no doubt but that the Laura was Tecognised as the headquarters despatch boat, asevery effast was made on the part of the enemy to disable her, while the officers of the gunboat Morgan, beyend the obstructions, probably induiged the hepe that she could pass them when she could cut her of. from return- ing, and then capture her.

(From the Richmond Pepacn) There ware reports current, yesterday, that Generat Jobnston nad again whipped the en- ¢my bear Bentonsyille; no official intelligence to thateffect was, however, received during Kiar Aa battle of Sunday seem; to have those sudden and coups which General Johnston is yeioniece and It was expected that Sherman, havidg massed his whole force, would attack Johastoa on Sunday mornin at we have reason to be- lieve that he fai! to come ap totime. The fact, no doubt, is, that Sherman's troops are not the men they were when they started from Savannah. A toilsome march, through the marahes and sands of Sou:h Carolina, under the hot Southern sun, has taken much of the freshbess, vigor and fight out of them. Bentonsville, the scene of the conflict, isa village in Johnson county, twenty-one miles southeast of Raleigh. It is a little south of the Neuse river, which flows near Raleigh and Goldsboro’ in its course. The Alarm at Raleigh. In Raleigh, on Friday tast, the alarm in re- gard to the approach of Sherman’s army, had Rye erent degree, subsided. The Standard * Our troops have contested the groand with their usual courage and endnrance, but a con- siderable portion of the State has nevertheless been overrun by the enemy, and it may be that other portions may be overrun. * * # « Meanwhile Raleigh is not taken. Theevents of the past week have increased our confidence in Gen. Johnston asa great commander. He ie seconded at all points by able officers, and by as gallant an army &s ever trod the earth, Let us be calm, hopeful and firm * Sheridan's Kscape, {From the Rictmond Enquirer. The escape of Sheridan’s raiders is sxia iy have been in consequence of Gen. Longstreet net being able to procure pontoons to brid; the Pamunkey. e are Advised that every order was given and every effort made by Gen. Longstreet to get the pontoons, but all failed. That owirg to the dilatoriness or neg- ligence of some one in Richmond, the pontoons were not sent up in time, and the enemy es. caped. We are also advised that the pontoons were in the river near Chaffin’s Biuff, and not in Richmond. W bose negligence it was we have not yet been able to ascertain, bht that some one is being greatly censured cannot be doubted. If everthere was an oceasion for strict investigation and summary punishment, this is that occasion. But we feei confident that it will be hushed up. The Negro Enlistments. The Whig says that, though the prospects fre favorable tothe cause, still volunteering in this line is not so brisk as it onght to be, owing, perhaps, to the fact that, up to the present, the negroes do not fully understand, to their liking, the status in which this mili-+ tary duty would place them. Hence, as the result of their peculiar timidity or suspicion, they are cautions, wary, and circumspect on this enlistment law. The Raleigh Standard disposes of the pro- position to arm the negroes in the following suppoeidous: celloguy between master and slave: Master—Well, Sam, the white men are not able to whip the Yankeer, and we want you to help us. Sam—Golly, master, what I got to do wid it?) Nofighto’mine De Norf want to make me free nigger, and the Souf want to make me free nigger, ana I ’spec I be killed fore its doue wid. . Master—Oh no, Sam, you most figbt for your courtry; General Lee says you must. Sam—Bress de Lord, master, Sam got no country here, Sam’s country in Africa. Sam habno power to deciar’ war. De good book says, muster, dat de nations dat declar’ war must do so afore God, and fight in his name. Ef dey don’t do so, He’ll turn a deef ear unto ‘em andcuss ’em. Dar’s two sorts o’wars, masier, God’s wars and de devil's wars. Ef Sam can’t declar’ war like de white man dat’s got a country to fight for, den ef he’s forced to fight he’ll fight in de devil's war. De minister teeched me to run from de devil, and Sam *spects to run from de devil’s war. Master—Ab, Sam! you don’t understand. We want to put the negroes In and ha glorious winding up of the war. We shall close it, if the negroes will only help us, in 2 blaze of glory. i) Sam—Golly, master, dat’s jest ike de sirkus. Dey always winds up de sirkus wid de nigger. De ole clown he git our money, and den trow de old close and de flour barreis ’mong de nig- gers. He! he! he! ‘Spec Sam dont go to dat sirkus. Frecdom Oitcred to Rie xan asa Recruiting jounty. {From the Richmond Sentinel.) The recruiting of negro troops is receiving & gratifying support and encouragement from patriotic citizens.

Wetrnst there will be a general and speedy emulation of these liberal examples, for it is obviously importartthat whatis to be done should he done quickly, the campaign being already afoot Families of Uales Seingoos te be Sent CG orth. {From the Richmond Examiner.) ‘There are hundreds of females and children in Richmond, who, temporarily deserted by fathers, husbands and brothers, wonld hail with joy an opportunity to follow them North. ‘We hope this opportunity willsoon beafforded them. The supply of provisions in Richmond is now limited, and it is absolutely necessary that no month remain here to be fed which can be removed and fed elsewhere. Mr. Walker recently said, in the city council, that «he had understood that there were now in tne city be- tween five and six thousand women anid chil- dren whose husbands, fathers and nataral pro- teetors had gone off to the Yankees, and left them here a burthen upon the city. It was imperatively demarded at this time, when tha city wos taxed to its utmost to supporr the families of our eoldiers and its other deserving poor, that this class should be removed from the city, if possible, and sent North, to follow the fortunes of their kindred, and thus lessen the drain upon the city supplies.” The South Suffering from a Depression of pe es [From the Montgomery Mail } Men of thought—men of speech—men of writ- ing—men of action—ali men who have their country’s interest at stake, owe it to that coun- try to combat this disease of depression which 8 Jaying hold on the country and snapping the vitals of its powers both athome and in the army.

The Augusta Uon- Stitutionalist expresses a hope that the Vice President will let bis voice be heard by the peo- ple of that State, in arousing their energies for the contest with the enemy. Mr. Stephens, says the Vonstitutionalist, with his great mind and eloquent voice, should talk tothe people. True staresmanship is what is needed. Grasp the situation as you finditnow, lead the people to believe and trust in their power when directed with their enthusiastic energy to one grand point. Uomplaints, bick- erings ofevery character. whether they coms in the shape of violent denuneistion or that mild and eloquent insinuation which “damus with faint praise,” is beneath the character of true siatesmanship, beneath the character of exalted patriotism. ‘What is Hecuba to him, or he to Hecaba!” Let Mr. Stephens stand up before the people ot Georgia, and tell them in plain words, in glowing words, thetr duty now, their duty to their State, their duty to their country, their duty to themselves and their duty to posterity. ‘There was consid- to-day, but the re- sult can be easily predi |.
