l-'irst. in this srriptum, let mo men
tion the return of our comrades, who
were sent to Athens in charge of the
remains of our late beloved brother in-
arms. Serg’t \V., who was expecting
the arrival of his “better half,” started
front camp about 5-o’clock, P. M., for
the depot in Portsmouth. W’o all
charged him to send to camp, without
delay, our toturued Athenians, with
whatever “ bag and baggage” they
might have along. Accordingly, about
the beach, a distant view of tho Fort
ress and the enemy's position is obtsin
ed. Hundreds of tents are visible to
the naked eye. Borrowing a telescope
from one of the pickets, we are euabled
to see the regular outline of the Fort,
its walls, iiag, and buildings insido.—
We saw huge piles of stone at Rip
Raps, work actively progressing and a
steamer lying alongside. One large
blockading steamer, supposed to be the
••Minnesota,” lies between the Rip
Raps and the fort. The Cumberland
pointed to notify them of their appointment
and request their acceptance.
On motion, agreed to request the Athens
papers to publish the proceedings of (his
meeting.
The meeting adjourned sine die.

Northern Morality.—A letter
from Manassas, says:
* * * Among other things ta
ken fiom the enemy was a mail bag.
I send ono of the letters as a sample.
Out of 500, not more than two or three
were written by people of ordinary edu
cation. Many of them were inde
scribably vile, containing confessions,
of illicit intercourse, filthy and obscene
anecdotes, told in course language,
and betraying a state of society most
horrible ; for these ditty letters did not
come lrom men, hut in almost every
instance from women, writing to their
husbands. 1 should be ashamed of
my race and despair of our cause,
cou ! d I believe that.the mails of the
whole Southern army contained even
one suclt a letter as the dozen loath
some productions, found in the bag of
a single Connecticut regiment. How
a people whose women are so depraved
can fight at all is a mystery to me.”
Great Battles.
Perhaps it may be interesting to our
readers, in these days of battles, past
and to come, to refer to some of the
great battles which have taken place
in the European wars. This may he
not only interesting in itself, but it may
correct an erroneous and perhaps un
favorable influence which may be ex
ercised in the future, by the impression
that the slaughter at the recent great
battle of Manassas was very large and
serious. Considering that (on our own
part at least) the forces were composed
exclusively of raw volunteers, this bat
tle was a rare display of valor, and the
number of killed and wounded was
quite considerable. But, between reg
ular troops, familiar with great battles
and scenes of slaughter, the injury ex
perienced by the Southern army in
killed, wounled and prisoners was not
great. We have thought that it might
be productive of harm to encourage
the impression that for a great battle
our troops at Manassas had suffered
very heavily. Tire fact is, our army
could have well sustained five times
the loss, without being defeated, or
regarding itself as being very badly
cut up. If a regiment is taught to be
lieve that the loss of a hundred or a
hundred and fifty warrants the feeling
that it has submitted to a terrible in
fliction, it may feel authorized, if this
is exceeded, to think ot a retreat. We

And whereas, wo regard the adoption of
this resolution as imsorijilur.il, unconstitu

son against our own government ano the
endorsement and support of a wicked war
of aggression against our persons and our

1. Resolved, That this Presbytery do
now, in the fear of God, and witn a full
knowledge of the responsibility of the act,
withdraw from all connection with the said
General .assembly, and that wo do hereby
absolve the Churches and people under our
care trout all obligation to submit to its au-
thoriiy, without, however, impairing the
connection ol our Churches with the Sy
nod of Georgia.

the Confederate Slates of America, in form
ing “The General Assembly <1 the Con
federate States of America,” upon the ba
sis of our existing Constitution and form
of Government.
3. And to this enii. Resolved. That we
now elect one minister and one elder with
alternates, being the miuiher allowed its in
the ratio ol representation in the General
Assembly of our Church as heretofore con-
sli nted, to rejiresent this Presbytery in
any Convention or Conventions, composed
of delegates similarly elected, and which
may he held between this lime and the reg
ular fall meeting of this Presbytery.
4. Resolved, That we concur in Atlan
ta as ihe place, and August loth, us the
Blackiasr for Leather.
The manufacture of blacking has
been commenced in this city, says the
Charleston Courier, and a specimen
can has been furnislted us, and shall
be noticed hereafter on good trial.
Our experienced and observant triend,
VVm. Summer, writes to the Farmtr
and Planter:
Blacking for Harness, Shoes, fyc.—
The best blacking which we have used
for preserving the leather, and which
renders it water proof, and at the same
time pliable, is made as follows : Take
of yellow wax, one ounce and a hall ;
mutton suet, four ounces a;. half ;
spirits of turpentine, half an ounce;
ivory black, three ounces—tneli first
the wax, to which add ihe suet, after
wards the turpentine. When the hole
is melted, remove it from the fire, mix
in gradually the ivorj black, constant
ly stirring it until cold. When used
it may be rubbed on with a brush or
sponge, which should be warmed be
fore a fire, or if used in quantity, for
harness, warm it gently, and apply.
As a substitute for mutton suet, tal
low may be used with a little neat’s-
foot oil or laid, and in the absence of j qqq men
ivory black, stir in as much lamp black
as will give color. This is a superior
preparation to the leather preservative
made in Yankeedom, and can be read
ily prepared at all times.
In conversation with an English gen
tleman, as to the cate and trouble of
keeping harness in order, and carless-
ness ot servants, he informed us that
a thick lather of castile soap was one
ence to familiarize our officers and men
with the punishment which brave troops
are really capable of standing, and
which the regular armies of Europe do
stand in most important engagements.
At the battle of Blenheim, fought in
1704, between the English and Con
federates, commanded by the Duke of
Marlborough, and the French and Ba
varians, under Marshal Tallards and
the Elector of Bavaria, the latter lost
27,000 in killed and wounded, and
13,000 prisoners.
At the battle ofMalplaquet, in 1709,
where Marlborough and Eugene were
victorious, out of 120,000" men they
lost 18,000.
At Prague, where Federick of Prus
sia beat the Austrians, he lost himself
10,000 in killed, out of 70,000.
At Leuthen, the Austrians, out of
80,000 men, hardly preserved more
than 20,000—as many as 30,000 be
ing taken prisoners.
At Austerlitz the French had 80,-
000; the Allies 105,000. The former
lost at out 10,000 men, and the latter
40,000 (many of whom were drowned,)
besides prisoners. At Jena each party
had about 100,000 men. The French
lost in killed and wounded 12,000;
the Prussians 30,000 in killed and
wounded, and 20,000 prisoners. At
Eylan Napoleon lost 15,000, and the
Russians 20,000. At Friedland the
Russians lost 35,000 in killed, wound
ed, drowned and prisoners. At Etsling,
where Napoleon was defeated hy the
Archduke Charles, the French lost
6,000 killed, 18,000 wounded, 3,000
prisoners. Marshal Lannes, with three
Generals and one hundred and twenty-
eight officers were among the killed.
Thirteen Generals and seven hundred
officers were wounded. The Austrians
loss was by no means so great. At
Borodino, ■ on the 7th of September,
1812, the Ftench and Russians strug
gled all day—the former with 127,000
men and 580 guns, the latter with 115,-
000 men and 640 guns. Napoleon
carried the day, but lost about 40,000
men, the Russians left about the same
number on the field.
We come to Liepsic. Napoleon’s
array numbered 175,000. The allied
monarchs had 330,000. The battle
continued two days. The allies paid
for their victory with the loss of 80,-
The French killed reached
37,000—their entire loss 60,000.
At Waterloo, the loss of the allies
(exclusive of the Prussians) was 11,-
000 out of 70,000. The Frcnch lost
30,000.
At Inkerman, the Russians had 15,-

‘THE DEVOTED BAND,”
T HE shortest path to peace is that which
carries havoc and desolation to our in
vaders. It is believed that there are five or
ten thousand men in the South ready and
willing to share the fate of Curtius, and
devote themselves to the salvation of their
country. It is proposed that all who are
willing to make this sacrifice, shall arm
themselves with a sword, two five-shooters
and a carbine each, and meet, on horse
back, at some place to be designated, con
venient for the great work in hand. Fire
and sword must be carried to the houses of
those who are visiting those blessings upon
their neighbors. Fhi'adelphia, and even
New York, is not beyond the reach of a
long and brave arm. The moral people of
these cities cannot better be taught the vir
tues cf invasion than in the blazing light of
their own dwellings.
None need apply for admission to “THE
DEVOTED BAND,” but those who are
prepared to take their life in their hand,
and who would indulge not the least expec
tation of ever returning. They dedicate
their lives to the destruction of their ene

NAVAL ENGAGEMENTS THE GULF.
New Orleans, Aug. 12.—On Saturday,
August 3d. the blockading schooner Dart,
exchanged five or six shots with the Con
federate batteries on Galveston Island, do
ing no damage on either side.
The following Monday afternoon, the
Federal steamer South Caroli- • 'eft her
usual station and moved almosi . m rifle
shot of the batteries, which opened fire on
the steamer and was answered by the South
Carolina, the latter throwing shells over
the city. They exploded in the air, how
ever, doing no material injury. A shell
exploded among a number of lookers on,
near the batteries, killing one and wound
ing two or three.
Some twelve or fourteen shots were ex
changed, when the steamer withdrew.
It is believed that the South Carolina was
struck in the side, and had her pivot-gun
capsized.
Great indignation is expressed at the
outrageous attempt to bombard the city
without giving notice-
