From Judge Nisbet’s Letter of Acceptance. “IF I HAD BEEN CALLED OUT BY A CONVEN TION, HAVING IN VIEW THE REVIVAL OF OLD, OK THE ORGANIZATION OF NEW PARTIES, I WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION WITHHOLD MY NA.Ua. I COULD NOT LEND IT TO SUCH PUR POSES. rORCUNATELY, PARTIES IN OUR GREAT STATE ARE EXTINCT, AND HE WHO, UNDER EX ISTING CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD SEEK TO DRAW ANEW THE OBLITERATED LINES OF POPULAR DIVISION, OR OPEN ISSUES CLOSED BY THE SE CESSION OF THE STATE, OR AROUSE PREJUDI CE •> AND ANIMOSITIES LAID TO REST BY THE WAK, IS SCARCELY LESS A TRAITOR THAN THE viAN WHO WOULD APPLY THE TORCH TO THE tatb.

Who is Doing Anything I To-day we lay before our readers a commu nicanou from our Barnes, on the part of the •■Amateurs,” in response to an invitation to give a concert for the benefit of the Georgia Hoeptiai at Richmond. We indorse and ap p nud this action of this talented company.— I is an outrage that the means are at hand to i m ieve ih< wants of the wives and children of ur rukliers, and yet they are in want! By ne proceedings of the last meeting of the La d uU Relief Society, we see that their large hems have taken in this work in addition to inn' ot supplying our soldiers with clothing. God “less the women! They are always quickest io discover and readiest to perform works of necessity and charity. They had enough on their hands when they undertook Io supply our soldiers with clothing. It was a great undertaking for them, but they went at it with heroic will, and have ascomplished that and mucti more. They have been sending large supplies to the Hospital at Richmond, and to our sick soldiers elsewhere ; and now, through tne inexcusable neglect of the men and our county and city authorities, they have nohiy undertaken to do what they can to re lieve the wauls of the needy families of our soldiers. N ble woman ! There is no undertaking too great for her great heart where a good deed is io be performed. But what shall we say of ihe tueu who ought to have attended to this ui>t have not? —• • • The Hattie at Lexington. Tue St. Louis Mews of the 20th instant con atu» a partial report of the fight at Lexing <<>u. which, so far as it goes, confirms the previous report which reached us recently by telegraph Its report is up to ten o’clock Wednesday night, the 18th instant. I'tie Confederates under Gen. Price, num ber.ng from 15.000 to 20,000, opened fire on >e federal garrison there early on Wednesday .turning The garrison responded, and the c.Giuonade was kept up till 10 o’clock at night, wuen the man who brought the news, and was a resident of the opposite side of the river, left. 1 be Confederates had seised three steam boats. laden with ammunition and stores for the federate, which had been sent up from Jef ferson city. The f. deral’s garrison was on the south side, at the outskirts of the city, in their entrench ments around the Masonic College. The Con federates made their attack on that side, and had also taken possession of the city, so the tederals were between two fires. The federate were commanded by Col. Mul ligan, of Chicargo. News has reached Padu cah that he had surrendered—bis ammunition having given out. This was published in a Lincoln sheet, which the scoundrels under Grant ha'e started there since they took pos session of the place. (Special Dispatch to the t’harlestvn Courier.) Richmod, Sept. 26. The Baltimore *• Clip per.” of Monday, has a telegraphic account «f a battle at Lexington, Mo. It is said after three days hard fighting, the Confederates took the city, the United Stales troops retreat ing after a heavy loss on both sides. SOUTHERN COOEDEBACY We regret that the great press upon our columns has prevented the publication of the following till now, and hope our friends will excuse us. It has not been from indis position, on our part, but entire inability. If it had been shorter, we could have published it much earlier : Concert and Tableaux at West Point. West Point, Ga , ] September 22d, 1861. j Messrs. Editors: As we have no press in our little village, will you allow me the use of your columns as a medium of informing the public of what our liberal and patriotic citi zens are doing for the cause of Southern in dependence. On last Friday evening, the 20th inst., a Concert and Tableaux Vivants, were given for the benefit of our soldiers, by the “Ladies’ Relief Society.” Mr. Croft kindly tendered his Hall to the ladies, gratu itously. The Concert opened with the Tab leaux of the “Coronation of the Fairy Queen.” Miss Mary W. Erwin had the honor of re» ceiving, from the hands of a fair attendant, the rural crown ; and gracefully acknowl edging the homage of her little subjects, as they reclined around her throne. The ap pearance of this Tableaux was quite charm ing; and, if scenes in fairy land seem but half as beautiful as this, it must, indeed, be a delightful land to inhabit. “ The Confederate Wagon,” sung by Mies McNeill, was much applauded. “Old Cabin Home,” sung by Misses Cherry and Harring ton, was exquisitely sweet. The rich tones of the singers’ voices, mingling with the strains of a fine instrument, in the chorus, left an impression upon the hearts of the an dience that will not soon wear away. “ The Soldier’s Dream,” a Tableaux, was next performed. The wearied soldier is rep resented as lying in the arms of balmy sleep, dreaming of a sweet home and loved ones left behind ; or, perchance, with heart swel ling with “ the pomp and circumstance of glorious war.” “The Female Auctioneer” was sung by Miss Ellis, with a clear and articulate voice. This was followed by the National “Root Hog or Die,” sung by Miss Cherry. The words were suited to the times, and 1 think it would have affected “Uncle Abe” with a distressing attack of “dry grins,” to have beard it. Then came the little mocking bird of all, Miss Sue Sheppard, with the song of “Wakeup in de mornin’.” which produced roars of laughter. The Tableaux, “ Pocahontas and Captain Smith,” was faultless. “ I forget the Gay World,” by Misses Reed, Erwin, Harrington and Cherry, was a soft and pensive air. “ I should like to change my Name,” was artless ly and sweetly sung. The Tableaux, “ Belle of West Point, and Flower of the Family,” was impatiently look ed for ; in fact, every one was in a breathless state of anxiety, to see the two beautiful “ Misses ” who would appear, in evident con sciousness of their superior charms ! The audience breathed freely once more, as the curtain rose and displayed to their curious eyes a common brass bell(e) and a tine sack of Family Flour (Flower.) It was universal ly thought to be a good “ chaw.” “ Hear me Norma,” played and sung by Miss Fanny Harris and Miss Sallie Reid, was perfectly magnificent, unsurpassed and unsur passable. The Marseillaise, sung by Miss An nie Erwin, was really soul-stirring. The Tableaux of “ Fuss in the Family,” was quite ludicrous ; and, no doubt, was as fa miliar as “ household words ” to some unfor tunate individual, who had placed himself “outside” of too much of the “juice.” “ Dixie’s Land,” by Misses Ellis, Sharp and Walker, was fine ; and the class of little girls joining in the chorus, waving their small Confederate flags, made one’s heart beat with proud emotion. “ The Ivy Green.” by Miss Susan Cherry, was soft and plaintively sweet. It was sung with the power of art. Miss Fanny Harris, on the Piano, and Prof. on the Flute, charmed the audience with the exquisite and intoxicating air of “ Then you’ll remember me.” The performances closed with the “Con federate States,” a Tableaux. Each State had a representative, all of them together forming a semi-circle with their hands clasped. In the centre stood Miss Sallie F. Reid, rep resenting the Palmetto State, with a large Confederate flag in her hand. It was cer tainly a brilliant galaxy of sisters. South Carolina’s representative, like herself, was prominent and peerless! The Concert was urged to a successful is sue by the patriotic efforts of Mrs. Mary Er win, and Miss Sallie Fannie Reid, a cause supported, as ours is, by such ladies, can hardly tail to succeed ; but heaven knows that when the ladies who support that cause are as tireless and self sacrificing as Miss Reid, and as indefatigable as Mrs. Erwin, it must be doubly sure of success. SPECTATOR. The Tomato Catsup Question <-p-—» ho will Settle It. Editors Confederacy: Having seen a call through your valuable paper for a receipt for making good Tomato Catsup, I send you one that I have tried for the last ten years, and it has proved good. I have made and kept Cat sup by this receipt three years, and found it as good as when first put up. Take one peck of large, rtpe tomatos; hav ing cut them up, put them into a preserving kettle; let them boil half an hour: then press and strain the pulp through a hate seive : put back into the kettle and add oueoutice of salt, one ounce powdered mace, half ounce pow dered cloves, one teaspoonful of ground black pepper, the same of Cayenne pepper, and eight tablespoonfute of ground mustard. Mix the ingredients with the toruato pulp, and let it boil slowly four hours. Then put it in a tu reen and let it stand until next day uncov ered when cold, stir into it one pint of best cider vinegar. Put it in bottles and seal the corks. It is then ready for use. Yours respectfully, Mrs. H. C. HOLCOMBE- Atlanta, Sept. 26th, 1861. September 27th, 1861. Mr. Editor : I enclose you a receipt to make Tomato Catsup, which I have used several years, and have seen none better. If you are fond of it, try it; I think you will be pleased with it. I think many of our soldier boys would relish it finely, and their friends ought to make a double supply. 8. V. H. Tomato Catsup. Have your fruit perfectly ripe; wash and mash it; boil it well; when done, strain it through a seive, and to four quarts of the li quid, add one quart of good vinegar—apple is preferable—also, two tablespoonfuls of ground mustard, two of fine salt, two of ground black pepper, two of whole allspice, one of cloves, two large onions cut fine, three pods of green pepper, and half pound of sugar. Boil it to a proper consistency ; then strain again, bottle and cork tightly. I will send you another which I prefer to Catsup, and no doubt would be much relished among our sick soldiers. [You have told us how much vinegar, mus tard, salt, pepper, &e., to use, but you did not say how much tomatos. We suppose you meant “right smart."—Eds. Confed ] Green Tomato Sauce. Slice a peck of green tomatos; sprinkle, each layer lightly with salt; let them stand all night; next morning, wash them, and if too salt, let them stand a short time in cold water; take them out. and let them drain ; slice 12 or 15 large onions, put them with the toma toes in a kettle, with 3 pods of green or red pepper, cut in thin slices; also, a half pound of white mustard seed, one ounce of ground allspice, half ounce of mace, two ounces of cloves, one ounce of ground black pepper, and half a pound of sugar. Cover the whole with good vinegar, and boil rapidly until the to matoes are done. Th in add two tablespoon fuls of ground mustard and stir it in well. Another Letter from “.Soldier Jim.” Munson’s Hill, Va., ) September 17, 1861. J Dear Cousin : Last Sabbath morning we marched from Camp Bartow, near Manassas, to this place—distance about twelve miles. The march was warm and fatiguing. We ar rived here about SP. M. Although the boys were tired, they were ready to pitch into a fight. Mason’s Hill is just below Munson’s Hill opposite Alexandria, equally as elevated as any of the heights about here. Wa have a fine view of the Capitol in Washington. A part of Alexandria and the Heights of Arling ton, with several other elevated paints occu pied by the Federate are in plain view. The U. S. Hag waves in the breeze where we can see it at any time. We have a fine view of the Potomac, where we can see the vessels that pass up and down. We are well-fortified here—having sufficient force to keep back all of Abe’s minions, if they make an attack on us. We expect to remaitf here four days, and then go back to our encampment. Our regiment is nearly as full as it was in the last fight. The boys are hearty aud eat like log rollers. “ Soldier Jim” don’t like the cooking business, but he knows he has it to do; he therefore takes hold, and gets up a meal as soon as any old cook you could pick up. Our beef is very tender and nice. We boil it very done, and let it get cold. We then make hash, which is first rate. Very often I chop it, and make the best steak imaginable. The worst I hate about cooking is the smoke get ting in my eyes and burning of my fingers : but there is one consolation to “ Soldier Jim our soldiering will come to an end one of these days—let that day be long or short—and then if we survive we can get somebody to cook for us the balance of the time. The federate call our regiment the Georgia Gray Devils. I guess if the gallant Eighth gets after them again, we will make them quake and howl. Our regiment is still commanded by Lt.-Col. Tom. Cooper. We expect an engagement soon. Your Cousin, SOLDIER JIM. From the Richmond Dispatch, Sept. 23th. Extraordinary Escape irom the Hands of the Hessians—Adjutant Geo. W. Alex ander’s Escape front Eort McHenry— His Safe Arrival Among His Friends. We had an interview last night with Adju tant Geo. W. Alexander at the Powhatan Ho tel, where he arrived yesterday from General Johnston's headquarters. His escape and subsequent adventures are equal to a Trenck romance. After Colonel Thomas aud Alexander had captured the St. Nicholas, they started upon another secret expedition, and by one of those unaccountable accidents the Colonel was cap tured. Alexander was at this time in charge of a schooner, steering boldly up the Chesa peake Tue weather came on squaily and very bad ; and seeing suspicious movements among gome steamers, he concealed bis men in the hold of the vessel, place! bis brother-in-law at the helm, and he himself on deck disguised as an oys ter-man, he ran into Annapolis and anchored under Fort Seveni. At day-light got under way and stood over io Chester river. Here a ter rific gale threw his little craft high upon Eas tern Neck Island He then, io disguise, boar ded the steamer “ Arrow,” got the papers and saw the account of the Colonel’s arrest; then placed the main body of bis men under the charge of Lieutenant Blackiston, with orders to him to make the best of his way to Virgin ia, across the Bay and through Calvert coun ty ; which Blackiston succeeded in nobly do ing. Alexander then, with his brother-in law and two men. started fcr Accomac, down the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Everything went on swimmingly until his arrival at Cambridge, where one of the party being recognized by Judge Spence, and he being a relative, Mon leith like, proved a traitor aud informed on them. In a short time Governor Hicks order ed out the Dorchester Guards; the hotel was surrounded, and they were dragged to the common jail, placed in a room, and kept un til mot ning. Then, closely guarded,they were conveyed to the steamer. On the wharf an immense throng surrounded Governor Hicks, and shouted for the habeas corpus. Alexander demanded of Governor Hicks to be treated as a gentleman. The Governor replied, “ You are in the military.” “I am glad to hear it,” said Alexander, “for I thought I was in your hands.” Here the crowd attempted a rescue ; but, overpowered by numbers, Alexander was borne on board the steamer and conveyed to Fort McHenry. His wife, who was in Virginia at the time, immediately saw President Davis, who kindly assured her that everything pos sible should be done to eave him. She then went to Maryland, procured a pass to visit her husband, and at once commenced the inven tion of plans for his escape. She procured a Federal soldier’s uniform, a clothes line, and au inflating life-preserving waistcoat.— These she smuggled to his cell beneath her garments. During the arrangement she pur chased plants and made for her husband a lit tle garden at his eell window, thus disarming all suspicion that any escape was meditated. Sixteen days ago, everything being in read ness, just after dark, Alexander donned his disguise, and while Col. Zarvona (Thomas) engaged the attention of the sentinel, he slip ped by, gained the ramparts, passed over the mortar battery, and sprang from the curtain into the ditch. The fall being great, he dis covered, on rising, that he was crippled.— Nothing daunted, he crawled through the ab attis, over the glacis, into the river, and infla«« ted his waiscoat, and made a bold stroke for freedom. After being in the water a long time, he landed and crawled three fourths of a mile to a house. There he found some friendly dispos ed people; two Catholic girls washed and dress ed him, put a “ scapula” round his neck for protection, placed him in the bottom of a car riage, and, themselves concealing him with their garments,drove to a friend’s house, where he was taken care of. The next day a man-of war was hauled in to the river, and fired guns for a long time to raise Alexander’s body, supposing be must have been drowned. After this, friends of the cause in Maryland conveyed him from place to place by night for concealment, until at last he was carried to the shore of the Poto mac. Here, by the merest accident, be fell in with Lieut. Dunott, who had escaped from Washington, and George Bear, a young man who was making his way to Portsmouth, Virg inia. Alexander purchased a boat. Dunott and Bear carried him on their shoulders a mile. Bear tore off his coat-skirts and muffled the oars, and although the guard vessel was with in 150 yards, they quietly pushed off and sue ceeded in reaching the Virginia shore in safe ty. A man, taking the boat for remunera tion, carried them in his conveyance to Gen. Johnston’s pickets. Alexander speaks very feelingly of his friend, Lieut. Dunott, who while bearing him on his back, at every alarm turned to face the dan ger, thus showing the devotion of one sol dier to another. ♦ -♦- ♦ “ The suggestion,” said Mr. Edward Ever ett, in accepting the nomination for the Vice Presidency, “ that the Union can be main tained by the numerical piedominance and military prowess of one section, exerted to coerce the other into submission, is, in my judgment, as self contradictory as it is dan gerous. It comes, loaded with the death-smell, from fields wet with brothers blood. If the vital principle of all Republican Governments is the consent of the governed, much more does a Union of co-equal sovereign States require as its basis the voluntary co-operation in its organic func tions." • » • - • Mr. Win. Bowen, a young gentleman, resident of our town, and formerly of Savan nah. had his leg seriously fractured on Thurs day evening, 12th instant. As he was riding out on horseback, a pair of horses attached to a wagon ran away, frightening the horse which he was on, when Mr. B. was thrown and the wagon struck him, fracturing his leg.— IFas/i --ington (Ga.)

W Eleven Yankees, comprising the offi cers and crew of a prize vessel captured off the port of Fernandina, Florida, by one of our privateers, and brought, to this city as prison ers, were, on Monday last, sent, under a flag of truce, to Fortress Monroe, via Norfolk, there to be released on parole.— Richmond En quirer, Dilh September. Tbe Richmond Enquirer of the 17th instant says; “Mr. Wm. H. Byrd, of Augus ta, Georgia, who was arrested a few days ago upon the charge of being a Federal spy, and released on parole, has been re arrested by order of Commissioner Lyons, and confinedin jail to await a further examination.” * ♦ Red pepper is essentially necessary for our troops in Virginia during the winter.
