Wool (search for this): article 1
Or do they expect us to "make brick without mortar," that they thus suffer our alien Shylocks and indigenous enemies to lay their fell gripe on every species of working material, and paralyze our efforts with impunity? For five long months individuals and societies have silently borne all this, vainly watching and waiting for the welcome flat, that should say to the imprisoned essentials, come forth; but we are not blind, nor deaf, nor dumb — our vitality is only dormant, not extinct. Wool, we know, is months away — cards are not, and if these were "thick as leaves in Vallambrosa's shade," where are the hands to convert raw cotton — if we had it — into ginghams, chambrays, and other fabrics for soldiers' summer shirts in time?--We must have fine bale cotton for this; but does mortal man stultify himself to the extent of supposing that the majority of us could if we would, or would if we could, buy it at from two to three dollars per bale, because the contractors will not let h

asping for existence? The rats' and the moths devouring their filling for want of a little warp, and all because legislation is too lofty, too squeamish or too dignified, to waste a moment's thought on such trivial things as households and aid societies, or think the dead-lock in all feminine industry a matter of the slightest consequence — just now, especially. "Oh, if you will bother and hinder with your pitiful aids, no Knit." Certainly, wool without carding, where it grows, Hon Mr. Aggregate Micawber; but do you happen to know that the wool-growing resources of this State, if not others, being slightly out off for the time, we shall have to put one thread of cotton to two of yarn to help out and make the socks last all the longer? And, pray, what has become of that proposed chemical establishment? Dyes we can make, but copperas and other mordants we must have, and are willing to buy at reasonable war prices, but not to lay down their weight in gold. And if you had not smoked o

ale cotton at least, and force them to disgorge, on fair terms, to aid societies and others, who want it to use, not to sell; and instruct your Quartermaster-in-Chief to order all old socks to be preserved and forwarded to order for repairs — it being just simply impossible to replace them all with new, and make the other necessary clothing, too, out of the crop of wool now prospective. If some other powers that be — and the press is one of them — would only galvanize you out of sublimity into utility long enough to accomplish this, it would atone for much waiting, for something better than panics, and wholesale drafts to "turn up;" and then, perhaps, you might be kind enough to explain why wives — with families of small children hanging to their skirts — are so much better able than widows to carry on a plantation without either husband or overseer? Some out here in Charlotte being unable to discover wherein their own very superior ability consists. One of the Secre

Andrew Jackson (search for this): article 1
erwards sunk to the degrading position of an Illinois pettifogger and politician, setting himself up for a Commander-in-Chief of armies, and the veriest poltroon in all America proposing to enact the part of a conquering hero! We can imagine Andrew Jackson or "Rough and Ready" assuming such a position with a natural dignity and propriety that would have been highly impressive to both friends and foes — but Abraham Lincoln! If Jackson or Taylor had mounted their war horses, the proudest of our Jackson or Taylor had mounted their war horses, the proudest of our Southern soldiers, would have exulted as soldiers always exult in foemen worthy of their steel; but when the long legs of Abraham vault into the stirrups, a broad grin lights up the stern face of war, and we prepare for farce instead of tragedy.

Generalissimos Lincoln. We had never supposed that Abraham Lincoln was such an immeasurable and as to aspire to be actually the Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. army. By the letter of the Constitution, it is true, the President is entitled to that appellation; but no President, who was not a soldier from his youth, could ever have been tempted to assume the post in reality, except the present ridiculous. If there is one thing that Lincoln known less of than even statesmanship, it is the science of war and the profession of arms, and it there is one quality in him which is more despicable than his ignorance, it is a degree of cowardice which is without parallel among the modern rulers of nations. Courage is a natural gift, we know, like beauty, strength, and genius, and therefore a man is more to be pitied than hated who is born without it. But the pretender to a virtue which he does not possess, no matter what that virtue may be, is a contemptible hypocrite, deserving the unive

Death of Wm. H. Pritchard. --We were shocked to hear yesterday that Mr. Wm. H. Pritchard, the agent of the Southern Associated Press, died at his lodgings in this city on Monday night.

Pritchard, the agent of the Southern Associated Press, died at his lodgings in this city on Monday night. We had heard that he was sick, and had offered our services to perform the little offices which are usually acceptable to an invalid, not anticipating so speedy a termination of his sufferings. We make the announcement of his death with deep regret. Our acquaintance with Mr. Pritchard dates back less than twelve months; but in that brief period we discovered in him the sterling qualities which make up the true man and the sincere friend. He was, however, longer and Mr. Pritchard dates back less than twelve months; but in that brief period we discovered in him the sterling qualities which make up the true man and the sincere friend. He was, however, longer and more familiarly known in the South, where he spent the most of his life, and we shall look to our contemporaries there to pay a suitable tribute to his memory. It is difficult to realize that one whom we saw but a few days since, buoyant with life and hope, is now numbered with the dead. His remains were sent to Augusta, Ga., las
