To Correspondents.
A few words to those who write articles
which they wish to appear in our columns :
If you write anything of local interest only,
let it be !•( '■ short: we cannot spare the space
inmir paper and pay our printers for setting
up . long article, when we know that only a
lew of our readers will take any interest in
it.
When you write anything of general inter
est, make it as sAort as possible. Strike out all
amplifications. Don't hang on and hang on,
and spin it out and spin it out, but gather up
y tr burning thoughts into a focus, and give
the strong points in a few words. Don’t send
us a long article.
If you are going to become offended, if we
decline to publish your communication, don’t
send it to us. We don’t want to offend you,
and we ha 1 rather take the chances of miss
ing a good article than of giving offense.
Don’t ask us to return your communication
if it is rejected. Save the five cent piece you
would enclose for us to prepay postage on re
turning it. If you have any doubt about our
publishing it, keep a copy. We positively
have not time to return articles we decline to
publish.
We receive a large number of attempts at
poetry Nine-tenths of these we decline.—
Very few persons who attempt to write poetry
cun be convinced that their productions are
sorry. Let all your first attempts at poetry
be submitted to some one of well-known
scholarship and literary attainments, before
offering them to the press. ts

Correspondence between Gen. Bragg and
Col. Brown.
The following is the correspondence between
Gen. Bragg and Com. Brown :
[correspondence. ]
Headquarters, Dkp’t Florida, 1
Fort Pickens, Oct. 9, 1861. j
Sir: I observe this morning, for the first
time, a yellow flag hoisted over a large build
ing directly in front of my batteries. I also
understand that officer’s wives and children
are in the adjoining buildings. Ido not make
war on the sick, women or children.
The buildings will necessarily be exposed
to my fire, should there be a bombardment,
and they are besides subject under this flag to
be used as protection to any of your troops
that may take shelter behind or before them.
I therefore give you this notice —that the
sick, women, and the children, may be re
moved, so that if fired on, the resposibility
may rest where it belongs.
I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
(Signed) HARVEY BROWN.
Col. Commanding.
Erig. Gen. Braxton Bragg,
Commanding troops
Near Pensacola.
Headquarters, Troops C. S., )
Near Pensacola, Florida,
October 10th, 18G1. )
Sir: 1 received late last night your com
munication of that date, with profound as
tonishment. The building on which you had
for the first time observed the yellow flag has
been well known to you and to all your com
mand, as well as to the U. S. Navy as the mi
litary hospital of this station, and you could
not help knowing that it is now used for that
purpose.
Dealing with one who had been an old bro
ther soldier of high reputation, I had hoped
that eur intercourse and conduct in the hos
tile attitude in which we are placed would be
marked by all the courtisies and amenities of
civilized warfare. But it seems from your
communication that you claim the right to vi
olate the Hospital Flag, because it may be abus
ed. Admit this principle and we revert
to a state of barbarism. The sick, the wo
men and children, and the prisoners must be
come objects of vengeance, the white flag must
be abolished, “ Beauty and Booty,” “ Rape
and Rapine” must follow in the track of a vic
torious commander. I decline your invitation
to make these the subjects of war.
A our hospital flag has been and shall be
respected. In the affair of Tuesday night
your hospital with its inmates was in our pos
session for at least one hour, and as far as I
can learn, my orders to scrupulously respect
both were rigidly enforced.
(fur hospital and the two adjacent buildings
occupied by medical officers will continue to
be used soy legitimate purposes. Nothing has
been or will be dene to attract your fire. If
under these circumstances, you should put
your threat into execution, which would be
only in accordance with the acts of some of
your brother commanders, of little experience
in the custom or war, I shall take care that
the fact shall be known, that it may receive,
as it will deserve, the execration of the civil
ized world.
I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,

The Secretary was requested to return thanks
of the Society to this talented club, and ex
press regret that the inclemency of the weath
er prevented a large audience troin being pres
ent at the second evening's entertainment.
Captain Glenn applied to Society for a few
shirts and socks, which were readily granted
him.
A letter was read from the Foster Guards,
soliciting some goods the Society had on hand,
alleging that they- needed them, and found it
difficult to buy such in any of the stores. It
was agreed that the society give the goods to
them.
A letter was read from Dr. J. G. Westmore
land, stating that the College Hospital, at Wil
liamsburg, Virginia, did contain a great many
sick soldiers, and would likely continue to
have a great many more in it during the pro
gress of the war. He says many articles nec
essary for the sick, such as home-made wine,
brandy and stimulants, which are so much
needed in cases of typhoid fever, were not to
be procured at all. He calls upon the Society
to do all they can in contributing these and
other necessary articles for the sick in this
Hospital.
A vote was taken to have a party on Thurs
day evening, 24th inst , and was carried.
Society adjourned.
