Another Patriotic Minister of the Gospel. As we have said before this, patriotism is confined to no class of our people—all scorn animated by the same spirit of devotion to the cause of our country, and the only dis pute amougst us is as to who shall do the most. Among those foremost in the good work, wc must mention the Rev. T. B. Harben, of tho Methodist Church, and now serving in the Lexington Cirouit. * This patriotic clergyman, a week or two ago, conceived the idea of raising a company of volunteers for the war, to be thoroughly armed and equipped, free of expense to the Government. With this object in view, he proceeded to address the people of his circuit on the subject, and has met with such unboun ded success, that he now proposes to raise a regiment instead of a company. His patriot ism and his eloquence have already secured for him a number of enlistments and a quan tity of contributions. lie proposes to obtain in this way, uniforms, knapsacks, arms, tents, and a complete equip ment for his regiment. One noticeable fea ture of his design is to procure old rifles, and hare them rebored of a uniform site, so as to fit them for the Minnie ball.— A very large number cf rifles have already been contributed to his stock, and he has made arrangements to have them repaired. Mr. Joseph Echols and Dr. Davenport, two influential gentlemen, are aiding Mr. Har- beu in his good work ; and there is no doubt that his project will be entirely successful, and that in a short time. He has mads speeches at Lexington, Linoolnton, and elsewhere; and at one of his appointments, Mr. Nathan Johnson, of Oglethorpe county, a wealthy and worthy member of the Baptist Church, asked Mr. Harben if he had a family ? The latter replied in the affirmative. “ Then," said Mr. Johnson, “they shall be provided for at my expense, during your ab sence at the seat of war." We trust we shell be pardoned for mention ing some of the names of the gentlemen con nected with this patriotic movement; for sure ly such unselfish devotion and patriotism de serve more than a passing notice ; and though they may prefer that their good deeds should be done in secret, yet they will not hesitate to submit to this public announcement, wheu it only secures for them popular approval, but may be the means of aiding them in the prosecution of their enterprise.—ConttUution- al’it, Aug. 7. Political Fobesiqht.—The great German poet, Goethe, then bnt a young mao, was at the battle of Valmy in 1792,bu more as an am ateur than as a combatant. He went with the allies, who formed one of the best appointed armies aver rabed in Europe, led by Generals trained by the Great Frederick. This splen did army was defeated by undisciplined French troope, commanded by Dumouriex. The even ing after the battle, when the allied officers were commenting on the reeult of the day, Goethe was asked bit opinion. “ From this day end from this place forth," he answered, “ commenses a new era in the world’s history, and you oan say that you wero present at its birth." Such may bs said of tbs battle of Manas sas. Its influence on the destinies of tho world will be felt for ages. The Pbemanbnt Oovninment or tin Conked- ekath States.—Elections will be held in til the States of the Southern Confederacy on the first Wedneeday in November next, for mem- ben of the Confederate Congress and for Elec tors for President and Vice president of the Confederate States. The Electors vote on the first Wednesday in December. Senators are to be elected by the several States in the mean time according to the Provisions of th Confed erate Constitution. Congress will meet on the 18th day of February, 1662, the vote for Presi dent and Tice President will baj counted on the day following, and the President inaugura ted on 22d.—NittKvUU Banner, July 6.
