We are pleased to loam that onr fair countrywomen
everywhere throughout the Southern Confederacy are
proving thtiuse!v«s worthy deseeudants of tbo w croon
of tlie Revolution—exhibiting the same noblo patriot
ism and devotion to their country, by preparing cloth
ing and other comforts for the soldiers in the field.
Among the foremost in this race, as wc learn from a
lady friend who recently visited that place, are the
l.vliuj of Watbinsvilla and its vioiuity. In their qniet
i.urotentatiou* way, they arc doing as ranch in the
service of the country as anybody else. It is a very
great mistake to suppose tba.t only the soldiers in the
f;*ld are serving their country. The needle is ns use
ful as tlie sword—and with this bright and polished
little implement of female label, our fair ladies arc
daily employed in the ,,reparation of clothing for the
army. Future generations will sing their praises.

Presidential election ~was ostracised—not
a member of it was appointed to any place
appointed. Individually, we c ire little for
this. ToffsvCis a matter of i.o consequence
whether office-holders have formerly acted
with ns or not. But as a question: of right
andjustice, and.a matter of policy, it be
comes important, if wo expect to have that
perfect unit}* of sentiment so necessary to
success, to distribute the offices and honors
alike among all parties. Our North Car
olina and Virginia friends understood this
thing, and hence the Congressional delega
tions from those States are equally divided
between the old parties.
We call attention to this matter, not lor
the purpose of complaining of the unfortu
nate blunders already made, but to pre
vent n repetition of them.
Those who honestly dcsiro to see party-
ism laid upon the shelf—and we trust -ill
do—will never object to a fair division of
the honors, burdens, responsibilities and
offices of the Government.

We are glad to be able to annnnnco to
his many friends in Augusta and through
out the State, on the- authority of one of
our citizens just returned from Virginia,
that Capt. Blodget has been tried by Coart-
martial at Portsmouth and honorably ac
quitted, his sword returned to him, and
that he is again on duty in command of his
gallant company, the Blodget Volunteers.
Alter -waiting forty-eight hours from the
time of his arrest without any action being
taken on his case, Capt. Blodget demanded
a trial, and we rejojee to know that the
Coart found him not guilty of the charges
preferred. It is a cause of great congrat
ulation among his friends here. The gen
tleman jvho brings this welcome intellv
\ teac
while at the s^m■: time sh"e secures the ser
vices of one so worthy and well qualified a
person as Thomas -H. Watts.
In Tennessee both the candidates are
Democrats—the present incumbent, Har
ris, who ha's served two terms already, and
Col. Polk, of Maury. The adherents of
Harris claim that he only cun fill tlie Gov
ernor's office, because, forsooth, he is in of
fice, knows alt the ropes, and that his de
feat would indicate a re-actionary bre ik
dawn policy in Teunessbol Col. Polk was
with the large majority party. February,
the Union, no Convention party, but since
April 15th, lie has been an open advoentc
of Separation and Independence, and his
adherents claim—with justice we think—
that his election will calm the strife in
East Teuuessoe, und leave the Unionists
no reasonable pretext for their proposed
revolutionary action, white the election of
Harris will be a threat, and an unneces
sary provocation to those misguided men,
besides being contrary to custom, whiefi
gives tho office -in Tennessee to one in
cumbent for two terms only. .Our hopes
are with Polk, because- we believe his olec-
tfonwill do more good and less barm, than
the election of Harris, and for tho further
reason that we despise those who talk of
harmony, while knowingly provoking
strife, for the mere .purpose of keepin
themselves in power, and earnestly desire
all such to be defeated, routed, driven out.

Congress having named the first Wednes

Congressional elections in those States
whose .Legislature has set apart no day.

od the duty of electing tico Senators,) will

The Elcctlea in Alabama and Tennessee.
Within a few weeks—the election being
early in August—Alabama and Tennessee
wili each choose a Governor," and in the
latter State, we boliove, at the same liine
members of the Provisional Congress will
be elected. There are quite a number of
candidates for Congress in Tennessee,
(among‘them Nelson and Maynard, ot
East Tennessee,) and two candidates- for
Governor. The election also for members
of tho Legislature takes place in both
these States at the same time as the elec
tion for Governor. There seems a deal of
interest exhibited in the Gubernatorial
contest in Tennessee,.but not. so much, as far
as vo can learn, in Alabama, where there
are three candidates, or at* least two de-'
dared such by tbemselues, while the third,
Hon. Thos. H. Watts, -of Montgomery,
although he has declined being considered
a candidate, wtll still bo voted for, and
we hope elected.
It is somewhat amusing, and perhaps
instructive too, as indicative of what may
be expected elsewhere,- particularly in
Georgia, to observe tho character of the
contest in theso States. In both of them
we hear the same cuckoo note that is heard
in Georgia, and all over the Confederacy,
that the condition of tho eouutry atjiresent
absolutely demands that there shall be no
party contest for any office, and no contest
of any sort which shall tend to strife and
alienation among the people in a matter
assumed by someao~be so unimportant ns
the choice of rul§rs, but what is really the
be-all and the end-all of the whole brood
ol politicians that have swarmed all over
the laud, a blight and an unmitigated curse,
and the race of which (devouring locusts
that they are) is not by any means extinct.
But there, as hero and- clsowhere, cer
tain of these politicians, who seem to
think thoy have a life estate in nil the of
fices the people cap confer, assume to say
who can and shall have everything, and
so denounce all opponents as scismatists,
seeking strife. We want peace-—we-want
tiarmony. The country demands this.
Come and vote for whomsoever wo say,
and you can have peace; if yon refuse,
you are seeking to revive-pa r ty feeling, and to
divide the people whom necessity requires at
this tune to be qne and. indivisible! This Js
the hypocritical and selfish cry of the pro
fessional politicians, from whom this land
must be delivered if possible, at any cost,
before we cah have a government, worth
haying. This can be done by the peoplo
only, and now~is.the accepted time to' be
gin the work ; though we doubt whether
tbe people will ever 'do .it, because, they
have first to conquer themselves—to con
quer the strongest feelings of the Amer
can heart, partizansbip»-beforo they can
carry through this great reform.

Important from Virginia—Several Bat
tles, and the Georgians in the Van!
- Richmond, .Inly* 14,—On Thursday a
detachment of Confederate cavalry en
countered a detachment of the enemy; six
milerfroni Newport Nows, killing four
and taking twelve prisoners.
Passengers to-day from Staunton, state
that reports are current there that the
Confederates had met with severe reverses
at Laurel Hill. One report says that six
teen liandred.iucn, under Col. Hoth, had
been surrounded about one hundred miles
from Staunton, and that Garnett’s com
mand had* been compelled to evacuate
Laurel Hill. Theso reports, however, need
confirmation. Therehascvidently,though,
been hard fighting in that direction.
A letter will appear in tho Richmond
Dispatch of to-morrow, dated Laurel Hi!),
July 7, says: We have had another fight
and the Confederate troops wore success
ful. Before day-break this morning our
troops were aroused by the tiring of the
picket guard; about daylight another vol-
ey was heard about a mile off. The ex
citement was increased by the rapid move
ment of the First Georgia regiment of in
fantry, and the cavalry. The Georgia reg
iment held the enemy in check anu kept
tho fire Up until 3 o’clock, P. M., killing
and wounding many of the Federalists.
At three o’clock tlie Georgian.^retired and
their position was occupied by other regi
ments.
Another letter to tho Dispatch, lintcd Laurel Ilill,
9th, referring to the continued fighting, says tbs gal
lant Georgians under Col. ltamsey -again engaged the
enemy early on Monday morning) and kept up a con
tinuous tiro until a late hour -,f the day, when they left
the ground without a man killed or wounded.
The Lyuchburg Republican of tn-iu >n--)iy will slate
that ou Wednesday morning a skirmish occurred about
12 miles from Winchester, iu which two Federalists
were killed and three taken prisoners. Tho Confeder
ates were uninjured.
Nothing of interest from Manassas, Alexandria, or
other points.
■The Governor, under a requisit on from the Seer.-t 3
ry of War, has issued.his proclamation calling into iin
mediate service the militia of all the counties north of
Jamei River and east of the Blue Ridge, as well ai the

The Engagement at Rich Mountain.
RIrhmoxd, 15,——Reports brought here by passengers
related to the fight at Rich Monntiau, on Thursday, are
confuted and unreliable, and avery way nnsatifffaetory.
Ono passenger in high official position, states that only
three companies of Confederates under Col. Pegram
were engage wjth tho Federals.
The loss of the Confederates in killtd was 11(1 or 40,
Col. Pegram waa seriously wouudo i and taken prisoner.
About 300 Federals are reported killed. A number of
Confederate troops who were supposed killed or taken
prisoners, have reaeked their namp uninjured. .

Louisville, July 14.—Jhe Rich Mountaia fight has
grown small by degrees. The latest dispatch state-
the Southerners forces as ROD strong and 2 pieces art il
lery, instead of 2,000 as reported. Tbe Southerners
loss was (Skilled and about as many wejunoed. 'The
Federal loss eleven killed and S5 wounded.
The above dispatch was approved by McClellan, but
his own dispatch to Washington reports twenty killed
aud forty wounded. McClellan apparently niade his
plans for a certain victory,.and sent b:s bulletins before
the fight occurred, but a courier lost his wav and Mc
