Ladies’ Relief Society. September, 24ih 1861. At the meeting of the “ Society” this mor ing. only one report from committees to visit the poor was submitted—that one from Mrs. Holcombe, Mrs. Harden and Mrs. L. P. Grant, the committee for 3rd Ward. They reported 16 families whose busbands were in the Con federate service. Several of those families are partly composed of small children. All of them manifest a perfect willingness to do any work tbo “Society” may give them, to atd in their support. Others appointed, not understanding the wards, made no report, though they visited several families. The following were regularly appointed in Ist Ward: Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Spear and Miss Lucia Robson.

He is a Georgian, though enlisted in said company, and while all the other members have been supplied from their homes with clothing, be is without, his family not being able to fur ' nish him. He is in actual need of a complete outfit, and wished to know if the “Society” would supply his wants, for cold weather is fast coming on. To such an object we are glad to lend a helping hand, and voted , unanimously that the outfit be furnished him. The Ladies of the “ Society” are to have a “Fair,” next Tuesday evening, and hope for the sake of the cause prompting it, to have a 1 full attendance. Tickets for admission 25cts. The ladies will appear in Southern homespun.

Invalids and, other distinguished individuals, wanting pure spirits, (not of “just men made perfect,’’) can find the “ article” at the new establishment of W. W. Daniels, corner of Al abama and Whitehall. See his card •• ♦ Davis and Stephens. Jefferson Davis, the warrior statesman, the dauntless hero, the ripe scholar, the brave sol dier, the accomplished gentlemen, the enlight ened ruler and emblemished patriot, already holds the first place in the affections of the South. A grateful und appreciative people accord to him the revered title of Saviour and Father of his Country—the Second Washing ton —and the sublime eulogium which was ac corded to Virginia’s immortal son, will be pronounced over the chivalrous and high soul ed Davis, when the nation which he redeem ed, shall mourn his death, and celebrate his obsequies with the solemn pomp of national sorrow, that Ire “was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country men !” AU that we have said of Jefferson Davis as a statesman and patriot,may he repeated with equal truth of Alexander 11. Stephens, a man whose eminent, abilities, spotless purity of character, and exalted patriotism marked him out as pre eminently worthy to fill the second office in the gift of the Southern Confederacy, and to assume the duties of the first, if called upon by the dispensation of Providence.— Memphis Avalanche, Sept 21. '• • * Startling Discovery.—The Richmond cor respondent of the “ N. O. Crescent” writes : An important and startling discovery has been brought io light within the past few days, which must eventually, if the perpetrators cannot be ferreted out, end in our discomfit ure, if not in a crushing defeat. Traitors have been discovered in high places. The New York Times has published a full and correct list of all our forces in the field, with their regiments.with the Sta'esfrom which they have been contributed ; their numbers, also that of ; battalions and independent companies with disposition; giving the names of the various the names of their Colonels, their locality, the brigades to which they arc attached, in cluding those in Missouri, Tennessee, and the Kentucky Brigade: not omitting the regi ment commanded by Col Mandeville Marig ny, giving the date of its arrival in Richmond, the place of encampment, correctly spelling the Colonel’s name, which is a hazardous ex periment to those unfamiliar with the spelling of French names : also adding the inforina . Hon, “composed of French Creoles.” This information could have been only obtained from the War office. The Administration are not only perplexed, but startled at this dis covery. Congress has taken the matter in hand, and, conjointly with those high in au thority, are giving the subject a close and thorough investigation. The excitement, as a matter of course, is unusually intense. It is known that iu the clerical force, divided amongst the various departments, favorites of Northern birth, who were known to be com petent clerks from long service in Washing ion, have been invited to accept places in the bureaus ; and there is not a doubt entertain ed but that this information has been supplied from some person who has free and unsuspec- ! led access to the books and papers of the Ad jutant Generrl’s office Suspicion has attach ed itself to sundry individuals, and if the in> ; veatigstion can fasten it on the guilty parties, ; a drama will be enacted at Richmond which must exercise a wholesome influence for the ; future on all traitors • Stthen Girard’s Theory of Aavkrtising. | —Stephen Girard in a publication he made in | a Philadelphia paper, over his signature, he j said: “ I have always considered adverising, lib erally and long, to be a great success in busi ness, and prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule. too. to advertise in the j dullest time, long experience having taught I me that money thus spent is well laid out a*, s by keeping my business before the people, it | has secured me many sales that I should oth* I erwise have lost ” (tijjFTLe New Orleans Delta says an afflict ! ing rumor prevails an the streets of that city, * that a gentleman of the most irreproachable antecedents had misappropriated funds of the Confederate Government to the amount of near $175,000. It was not confirmed on the 21st instant. BY TELEGRAPH ) FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.” Wilmixgton, Sept 26.—Reliable information reports five federal vessels off New Inlet at 12, M. to-day. Two were off the Western bar. Richmond, Sept. 26.—Passengers from West ern Virginia this afternoon, report that Gen. Wise refuses to fall back, and expects to fight every movement of the enemy.

We learn that Judge Carton had issued a writ of habeas corpus to precure the release of Ex-Governor Morehead, Col. Durrett and Mr. Barr, but the military authoilties, to prevent its execution, had removed the prisoners from the Jeffersonville penitentiary to the prison at Indianapolis.
