At the meeting of the “ Society” this mor

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

their labors at our next meeting, which will
be at eight o clock next Tuesday.

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.—

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 ”
