**«*1fr _ SUfm^y, JUNE 2, 1801. For Tw«lv« Months—For During the W or, Bhiltonvillb, Gao., May 25, 1881. Messrs. Editors: I noticed a faw days ago in your vary valuable paper (tha Confederacy) that Oovtnwr fwtirlaa refused to reoeif*. any more Volunteers, unleia for three years or during tie war. No*, I am totting but a beard)eat boy, and know that the Gev'ocfc- will not wont mj opinion, but it is a free thing and I might as welj givo It os any body. I think the Governor ought to receive every company that tenders its service ftr otio or more years, and order them to drill and hold themselves in readiness ; but let them stay at home till some company’s time expires, then order them to fill the place. Why, Messrs. Editors, there are lots of young men up here, twenty-two or twenty-three years old, that have never teen from home two months at a time in their lives. Do you sup pose that such boys would be willing to leave their homes, their parents, and all that is near and dear to them, (save tbeir country) and go off for threa years, with dull prospects of ever getting back? No. But let us go for one year, and we will come home and aee our folks, and than we will go again. I do not speak at ran dom, for I know this to be a fact. Try us. By giving this a place in your valuablo pa per, you will oblige a volunteer. Respectfully, BEARDLESS BOY. fat" We give plaee to the foregoing; but think the Governor and President are right in taking men for the war in preference to twelve months— especially while so many hundreds of thousands of our brava men all over tba land are eager to go for the war—determined to hear the eraek of the last gun before they come back, or stay till the Crack of doom. This patriotic impulse which seems to throb in the heart of nine-tenths of thoso who cow volun teer, to sea the independence of the South re cognized before laying down their arms, is worthy of being sung by Angel voices, and played upon the harps of the Heavenly Host. We should do nothing to check or discourage this sacred impulse in our people; but let us, by all means, encourage it and give it the pref erence above all others, for it is worthy of it. We do think those youDg men wbo have never been from home, ought not to be unwill ing to go for the war—let the prospect of gett ng back be as it may—if the country needs such service at tbeir hands; aud we also believe they are willing to do so, if it is necessary. If it is not necessary, of course it will not be re quired of them. Population of the Confederate States. The Houston (Texas) “Telegraph” says:— From the Census tables of 1860, of the United States, we take the population of the Confede rate States, including, as we may justly do, tbe States of Arkansas, Tonnesnee, Virginia and North Carolina, viz: Free. 8Iave.

If it took Great Britain, with all ita wealth aud reaources, and the aid of mercenary troops, eight years to learn that three millions could not be conquered, how long will it take the United States, with no more resources, to learn to let eight millions alone, who are determined to be independent? Granting that the United States could conquer us, what would thay do with us ? Having got the elephant, what then? May we not pre sume that old Abe will see enough of the ele phant before that time comes, to be satisfied with the sight, and lot the animal alone ? •« Confederate Hates of Virginia.” Messrs. Editors: As Virginia is now one of the Confederate States, and as the Northern States will claim the name American, which belonged to the people ef the late United States in common, (though as applicable to an in habitant of Labrador, Brazil or Patagonia,) thereby depriving us of a National name, and aa most of what is illustrious in tha history of the United States clusters aronnd the name of Virginia, “the mother of Statesmen,” we would suggest that the States farming the Southern Confederacy loee tbeir names, and that the name of the " Confederate State# of Virginia* be given to the whole.

Standing &y Belize of those lifeless remains waa tba heroic young Zniave wbo shot the assassin dead on the spot, and from hia own lips I re ceived the following statement oT fBitWfar transaction 1 • ) .* / • 1 , j The Colonel, in company with the Chaplain of the regiment, another officer and four Cor porals, was on bis way to the telegraph office, and was passing tba Marshall House, when they aew a rebel flag flying on the roof. The Colonel said that that flag must oome down; and, accordingly, accompanied by the persons just named, he enterrd the bouse and proceed ed to the spot where the flag was, took it down and put it around his body, saying to those around him that it must be kept uninjured, so that it might be seen what sort of a thing the traitors’ flag was- The party then set out to return down the stairs to the street, when, on their reaching the second story, the keeper of the bouse, named Jackson. came suddenly out of a small room, levelled h!s piece -a double barrelled gun—and deliberately shot Colonel Ellsworth through the body. He died instant ly, only exclaiming “ My God!” The assassin then again levelled his piece to fire at the Zou ave who waa by the Colonel’s side, when tbe Zouave discharged bis piece at tba murderer and stabbed him with his bayonet. He fell dead instantly, and thus the punishment was terribly contemporaneous with tbe crime. That you may see who this coldblooded mur derer was, I give you an exact copy of his hotel card, which I saw the isms day in Wash ington : A&JdlbiA-I'Aie- iwHbt- *• .• i'tvvi® 3 MARSHALL HOUSE, £ !

Hit honored name is Francis K. Brownell, Corporal Companv A, Ellsworth’s Zouaves. He is from the city of Troy, in this State, and was a member in that city of Fira Company Premier, No. 1. He will not be for gotten by his country. Col. Ellsworth was murdered at about five o’clock in the morning. To show more clearly the atrocious, cold blooded wickedness of the revel murderer Jack- son, I should have stated that the ball or slug discharged on his second fire passed directlv over ana near the head of Brownell, and struck tbe wall back of him, and that his gun was loaded with something very different from an ordinary ball, is manifest from tbe fact that the wound in Colonel Ellsworth's breast, was about an inch in diameter. A. An Important Document—Jeff. Davis’s Lctters-of-Marque. hrksidbnt’s instructions to private armed VESSELS. I. The tenor of your commission, under the act of Congress, entitled, “ An Act recogniz ing the existence of war between the United States aud tbe Confederate States, and con cerning letters-of tnarqoe, prizes And prize goods,” a copy of which is hereto annexed, will be kept constantly in your view. The high seas referred to in your commission, you will understand generally to refer to the low- water mark; but with the exception of the space within one league, or three miles from the shore of the countries at peace with the United States and the Confederate States. You will nevertheless execute your commis sion within the distance of the shore of the nation at war within the jurisdiction of such nation, if permitted to do so. II. You are to pay the strictest regard to the rights of neutral Powers, and tho usages of oivilized nations; and in all your proceedings toward neutral vessels, you are to give them as little molestation or interruption as will consist with the right of ascertaining tbair neutral character, and of detaining and bring ing them in for regular adjudication in tbe proper cases. You are particularly to avoid eveu the ap pearance of using force or seduction, with tbe view to deprive such vessels of their orews or the pasaengeu, other than persons in the mil itary service of the enemy. 3. Towards enemy vessels and their crews you are to proceed in exercising the rights of war, with all the justice and humanity which characterizes this Government and its citi zens. 4. The master, and one or more of the prin- cipal persons of the captured vessels, are to be sent, as soon after the capture aa may be, to the Judge or Judges of tbe proper Court in tbe Confederate States, to be examined upon oath touching tbe interests or property of the captured vessel and her lading; and at the same time, are to be delivered to the Judge or Judges, all parlies, bills of ladiag, letters and other documents and writings found on board; and the said papers to be proved by the affi davit of the commander of the captured ves sel, or some other person present at the cap ture, to be produced as they were received, without fraud, addition, subtraction or embez zlement. 5. l'roperty, even of the enemy, is exempt from seizure on neutral vessels, unless it be contraband of war. If goods contraband of war are found on board any neutral vessel, and tbe commander thereof shall offer to give them up, the offer shall be accepted, and the vessel left at liber ty to pursue its voyage, unless tbe quantity of contraband goods shall be greater than can be conveniently received on board your vessel, in which case tbe neutral vessel may be carried into port, for the delivery of tbe oonlraband goods. The following articles are declared by this Government contraband of war, aa well as all others that ars so declared by the laws of na tions, viz: All arms and implements, serving for the purpose of war by land or sea, suoh as can- none, mortars, guns, muskets, rifles, pistols, petards, bombs, grenades, balls, ahot, shell, pikes, swords, bayonets, javelins, touches, borne fumiture, holsters, belts, and generally all other implements of war. Also, timber for ship building, pitoh, tar, reaio, ooppar in sheet, sails, hemp, cordage, and generally whatever may serve directly to the equipment ef vaesels, wrought (row and planks only excepted. Neutral vessels conveying enemy ’■ dispatch es, or miliUfy ftm>m la ,tke service qf the enemy, forfeit their neutral character, and are liable to oeptnre and oandemnalian. But this rule does net apply to neotfnl vesmto bearing diopntoho from the puMto ministers -y The American Tract Society. The annivereary of this inflation was held on Wednesday of last week. The old officers ware rt-eleoted. After ths usual routine of business was traos- ectsd.ike members formed themselves into ft tots! meeting to glorify the war. It was a die- U9iiog and disgraceful spectacle. One speak- r maintained that the war is necessary and right, and that the apostlp of war is qow pre ferable to the apostle of peace. Another declared that the Northern soldiers had felt the breath of Gad upon them, and Bad gdne forth to battle in obedience to a catl as grand and solemn, as ever Selied s martyr to the stake or forced a saint to bis knees.” A resolution wss offered by tbe same speaker (Prof. Hitchcock of Union, New York, Semi nary) and adopted, appropriating $10,000 to provide tracts for the Northern soldiers. This was a very commendable proceeding, but as the funds were contributed by the Sout h ae well as the North, it would have been simple justice to divide the appropriation be tween the soldiers from both sections. No ono In this region, however, will object to the tracts being distributed as tbe resolution pre scribes.—North Carolina Presbyterian.

JEajr We had no idea, until we saw the fore going, that there were enough of disloyal men he South to make tbe foregoing contribu tions. Just think of it! Men in Georgia, in March last, contributing to this concern in Yankcedom ! Who aro they ! Will they ever give any thing more? Are they friends or enemies to the South ? These are important questions. An Act To prohibit tho exportation of ootton from tbe Confederate States, except through the sea ports of said States ; and to punish persons offendtdg therein. Section 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That from and af ter the first day of June next, and during tbe existence of (he blockade of any of the ports of the Confederate States of America, by the government of the United States, it shall not be lawful for any person to export any raw cotton or colton yarns from the Confederate States of America, except through the sea ports of the said Confederate States; and it shall be the duty of all the Marshals and rev enue officers of the said Confederate States to prevent all violations of this act.

Bat yes terday, it was oat interest and policy ; 4o have but one great American nation, and that onr selves; to day, we of the South, strengthen ourselves by multiplying rival nations, and thus preventing the undue preponderance of any one of them. Too much of peace and *e curity destroy tbe energy of nations Riv alry, competition, and occasional fighting, among States, are quite as necessary as among individuals, in order to fortify, elevate and sustain character, and to beget industry, en ergy and inventiveness. The fact, that we shall be surrounded by nations equal to our selves, js one of the greatest advantages we sha.l derive from the present revolution. It 11 stimulate us to improvement, and compel us to practice all the arts of life, which aro necessary to preserve independence We must become a distinct people, and no longer remain as heretofore, mere slave colonies for Europe and the North. 42 We do not want Hayti ourselves, because our soil products every valuable staple except coffee that can be raised in thU island, and it is probable we shall soon produoo coffee in the peninsula of Florida. It does not occupy a very commanding position as regards our ter ritory, but it is admirably situated to guard tbe transit across the Isthmus. It will, in tbe hands of France, keep England and the North io check, and keep open the free pas sage of tbe Isthmus for the trade of the world. California will soon separate from the Union, when the Union ceases to be the prepondera ting power in Mexico and Central America. It is clear to us that the conquest of Hayti by France would weaken and divide the North, and benefit us. Letter from Gen. lieattregard. We take pleasure in presenting our readers, by the writer’s permission, an interesting let ter from General Beauregard. Tbe kind feelings he expresses fur Caroli nians, we feel assured, nre fully reoiprooated by them. His administration here has been a complete success, and losiug him it is grati fying to know that his services are required at another important station.—Charleston Mer cury. Charleston, May 27, 18G1. My Dear General:—I sincerely regret leav ing Charleston, when its inhabitants have giv eu me such a welcome that 1 now consider it as tny second home. I had hoped that, when relieved from here, it would ) ave been to go to Virginia, in command of the gallant Caro linians, whose courage, patience and zeal I bad learnt to appreciate and admire; but it seems my services are required elsewhere, and thither 1 shall go, not with joy, but with the firm determination to do more than my duty if I can, and to leave as strong a mark ae possible on the enemies of our beloved country, should they pollute ita soil with their dastardly feet. But rest assured, my dear sir, that what ever happens at first, we are certain to triumph at last—even if we had for arms ouly pitch- forks and flint-lock muskets—for every bush and hay-stack will become an ambush and every barn a fortress. The history of nations proves that a gallant and free people, fight, ing for its independence and fire-sides, invin cible against even disciplined mercenaries at a few dollars per month. What, then, must be the result, when its enemies are little more than an armed rabble, gathered together has tily on a false pretence and for an unholy pur pose, with au octogenarian at ite head ? None but the demented oan doubt the issue. I remain, dear Geueral, youra, sincerely, (Signed) G. T. BEAUREGARD. Gen. Wm. E. Martin, Charleston, S. C.

IIT Said Nichols came to this place about threa yexri »go, and commenced the practice of med icine; and shortly after bis arrival haexprass- •d a desire to marry; and in furtherance of that object, sought an introduction to, and cul tivated the acquaintance of, a worthy ladjr, of respectable family, who was then a transient raeident, spending sometime with her rela tives iu this place. His intimacy with this lady proceeded so far as to oause on invastigation of bis antecedents, which resulted in eliciting fact that he originally hailed from Brie county, New York; that be bad seduced a young lady there—beeo forced to marry her— was tbe father of a child —and that he had de serted both wife aud child—and that after his desertion, hia wife had obtained a divorce, which still left his nose to the grindstone. He was then published in various papers, and the knowledge of the above facts caused him to lose all social, cast in our midst. Tba people paid very little attention to tbe man, after this, except as a physician, until tha commencement of the late political troubles. Both before and after tbe secession of Georgia, Dr. Nichols was an intensely rabid Union man, expressing his convictions freely to many of our citzens, that the North was right, and tba 8outh wrong, and that those who owned no slaves had no interest in this contest. It waa the expression of suoh opinions that led the Committee to take action in hia case. In addition to the above, tho following proof was before the Committee : Dr. Nichols said to tbe Rev. Mr. Williams, a local Methodist preacher, of this county, in making a comparison between two sermons— one preached North, taking the Northern view of our troubles, and the other preached South, taking the Southern view—that tha Northern sermon was right and the other wrjng. He said to Marion Ekes, & highly respecta ble young man, of this town, that he (Nichols) “had as soon bo caught with a sheep on his back wbich he had stolen, as to join a Volun teer Company to fight his b'rethren of the North.” He said to Benjamin J. Harris, a prosperous merchant of our county, that all his interest, both monetary and otherwise, as well as his relations, were at the North. He said to Wesley C. Beall, that this contest would bo the downfall of slavery, and that the North was right, and tho South wrong. He made application to Capt&in Thomas J. Pilgrim to join his horse Company, but after finding that the object of the Company, if or ganized, was to go into service, he declined joining. lie used equally, if not more, inoendiary language to Robert Ekes, a Methodist class- leader aud exhorter, B. A. Huff, John W. Thornton, and divers others of the good citi zens of our town aud county. On the Friday before he was notified to leave here, a negro man in the employ of R. P. Les ter, Attorney at Law, was seen to go into Nich ols’ office, and remain closeted with him for half an hour. When asked what the nsgm was after, Nichols replied, that his master had sent him after some medicine. When tha oa- gro wa?asked what he was thsre far, he said, that he was there to see about setting a post in front of the office. Mr. Lester said that nei ther he nor his family had sent ths negro there. So Nicho’s had told a lie. And from the length of time he (Nichols) waa closeted with the negro, the Committee thought there must be something rotten in his wi^er-loving heart. A week or two before the above incident took place, Nichols was seen by several of our citi zens, to stop a perfectly strange negro to him, in our square, and have a lengthy conversation with him. It was also notorious that negro men would assemble almost every night in front of Nich ols’office, and would frequently remain there until a late hour at n ight 4 With these facts before them, the Committee resolrad that Dr. Nichols was dangerous to our town and community; and, on Saturday night, the 29th of April, appointed a Committee to notify Dr. Nichols to leave our town and com* munitv by twelve o’clock the following Mon day. The special Committee discharged that duly on Suuday morning. Monday at twelve, Nichols had not left. After listening to his prayers and petitions, and protestations of loyalty to tho South, (which tho Committee knew to be false,) they suffered him to remain in town until an hour by sun Monday evening, when he left without molestation—being as sured that if he did uot go of his own accord, that he would be carried to the Railroad and •hipped North. But instead of leaving our county, this in famous Black Republican whelp, rods Right and day, trying to stir up the country people aginst the#itizens of this town; and on Sat urday, tba fourth day of May, ha had the im pudence to come riding into our town at tho head of some twenty or thirty respectable citi zens, whom ho had enlisted in bis behalf, by telling them that there was no person engaged in the affair against bins, but boys, drunkards and vagabonds. These men aooen found that they had been deceived; the last one ef them turned his back on Nichols, and some of thorn went so far aa to say he ought to bo rode am * rail, w-v rf a eye O O/Z ff ft A Committee was thorn appointed to enrry Nichols to Marietta, with a request from aomo of our oldest, moat coaaervativo, and moot so- Warned dlfsone, that tha Committee should neither offer him any personal violence nor permit any others to do so.
