Nothing Like It.
Hon. Z. B. Vance, formerly a representa
tive in the U. S. Congress from the Asheville
District, N. C, is now a Colonel of a Regiment
in the service of the Confederate States. He
was solicited to run for a seat in the Confed
erate Congress, and here is his patriotic reply.
While in Washington, be won for himself the
name of being a pure patriot with a lofty soul,
far above anything that smacked of impro
priety. We present his noble response to a
solicitation to quit the field for halls of legis
lation, as in striking contrast with many cap
tains, majors, colon ds and generals :
Headquarters, 26th Reg’t N. C. V. j
Camp Burgwyn, near >
Morehead City, N. C., Sept. 18, 1861. J
Dear Sir—Your letter of the 2d inst., ad
dressed to my brother, was forwarded by him
and received this day. In it you ask, Ist, If
I will be a candidate for Congress ? and, 2d,
If not a candidate, will I consent for my name
to be run? To both questions I answer in
the negative. To this course I am impelled
by what I consider the most conclusive of
re tsons.
You remember well the position I occupied
upon the great question, which so lately divi
ded the people of the South. Ardently de
voted to the old Union and the forms which
the Federal fathers established, I clung to it
so long as I thought there was a shadow of
a hope of preserving, purifying, or recon
structing it. And you will also remember
that in the last official communication I had
the honor to make to my constituents as their
representative, I pledged myself in case all
our efforts for peace and justice at the hands
of the North should fail that their cause was
mine, their destiny was my destiny, and that
all I had and was should be spent in their ser
vice. Those hopes did fail as you know, sig>
nally and miserably fail; civil war was thrust
upon the country and the strong arm of
Northern despotism was stretched out to crush
and subdue the Southern people. I immedi
ately volunteered for their defence, in obe
dience, not only to this promise,but also, as I
trust, to patriotic instincts ; and I should hold
this promise but poorly fulfilled should I now,
after having acquired sufficient knowledge of
military ass »irs to begin to be useful to my
country,escape its obligations by seeking, or
even accepting a civil appointment..
Certainly, if there lives man in North Car
olina who ought to do all and suffer all for
his country, lam that man. Since the time
of mv entering upon man’s estate the people
have heaped promotion and honors, all unde
served, upon my head. In everything I have
sought, their generous confidence, their un
failing kindness has sustained me. Whilst I
can never sufficiently repay it, I am deter
mined, God helping me, to show them I was
not altogether unworthy of their regard. I
am therefore not a candidate for Congress nor
will not consent for my name to be run. I
am perfectly satisfied to be represented again
by the sound sense and sober judgment of the
gentleman who has lately represented us at
Richmond, or by a dozen gentlemen who live
• n our district not connected with the army
—some of whom I hope the common peril and
t he common cause will induce our people to
elect without bickering and strife.
Most truly yours,
Z. B. VANCE.

This vessel was mostly owned in Mobile,
and left that port for Europe.
She left Liverpool on the 26th of August,
with a cargo of 3,200 sacks of salt, two print
ing presses and lithographic stone for a pub
lishing house in Charleston, and several bales
of dry goods.
She got off the Gulf stream on Monday last,
and on Tuesday morning at 5 A. M„ got ashore
on the north breaker of Stono Inlet, near
Charleston. After daylight, she discovered
seven of the blockading vessels—one of which
soon came toward the ship, when the Captain
and crew abandoned the vessel, and took to
their boats. About 5A P. M., after the vandals
had made the most of the prize they could,
they set fire to her, and burned her to the wa
ter’s edge.

PLIES TO THE SOLDIERS WHAT THE
SOLDIERS NEED DO YOUR DUTY.
Army of the Potomac, j
Near Fairfax, Oct. 12,1861. j
1 have nothing new to report in this depart
ment of the army. Nothing further has trans
pired in regard to the reported transfer of
McClellan to the West Such a rumor was in
circulation in Washington, Baltimore and New
York. Os this there, can be no doubt: for the
last batch of papers received from those places
contained references to the rumor, and spoke
of the excitement it had produced beyond the
Potomac
I find it a rather hazardous business to spec
ulate in advance upon the probabilities of a
campaign. Even where all the plans have
been matured and agreed upon, and the whole
programme arranged and drawn up, so many
things may occur to necessitate a departure
from them, that no one, however well inform
ed, can predict with certainty on one day
what will be the order of affairs the next. The
difficulty is of easy solution. There are two
parties to every war; and it is not enough to
understand the line of policy of one of them.
We must know what are the plans of both;
else all opinion as to the future is mere spec
ulation and nothing more. War has not in
aptly been compared to a game of chess, in
which the utmost skill and strategy of the
combatants are brought into requisition. One
of the parties may adopt a particular line of
play, and yet the first move of his opponent
may force him to modify, if not to abandon it
altogether.
So it is in war. I believed a few days ago
that a certain line of policy had been adopted
by our officers, and I have the best reason to
say my belief was well founded; and yet a
little manoeuvre on the part of McClellan—a
possible but not an expected move on the chess
board—may compel Johnston and Beauregard
to abandon their former plans and accept the
issue upon the point presented by their wily
antagonist. I can only say to your readers,
therefore, that they must cultivate that Chris
tian and military virtue, Patience, and wait.
Winter, with its icy breath and snowy mantle,
is closing in—and so is the campaign upon the
Potomac.
I am in receipt of a letter from one of the
best and most intelligent women in Savannah,
notifying me that a bale of goods prepared by
herself and other ladies of like character, had
been shipped to this place for distribution
among the needy volunteers from Georgia, and
asking for some practical directions for the
guidance of such liberal and patriotic persons
at home as may desire to send contributions to
Virginia. I have referred the matter to Gen.
Toombs and Dr. Steiner, both of whom, and
especially the latter, have given much thought
to the subject. We all think that if the follow
ing plan, or something similar to it, were
agreed upon, much good might be accomplish
ed and the loss and destruction of much val
uable clothing prevented
1. Mr. Henry Moore, of Augusta, Georgia, is
the Secretary of the Georgia Relief and Hos
pital Association. He is in frequent commu
nication with the officers of the Georgia Hos
pital in Richmond, and with surgeons and
officers from Georgia now on duty in Virginia.
He is devoting much time to the physical com
fort of the volunteers whom our dear old moth
er State has sent to the field, and has, I am
informed, a large room fitted up in Augusta for
the reception of articles designed for our s 1-
diers.
2. Let all articles, then, in the shape of
clothing, blankets and medicines, the volun
tary contributions of the people, be sent to
him, with instructions where and to whom to
send them. If intended for general distribu
t:on among the more needy of our men, whose
friends at home are too poor to furnish com
forts themselves, (and I trust there will be
many many such contributions sent,) then
they should be marked—“ For general distri
bution among the needy soldiers from Georgia
now in Virginia.” If intended for particular
persons, or companies, or regiments, then let
them be so marked, and sent to Mr. Moore to
be forwarded.
3. A car containing these articles, accompa
nied by an agent, should be started to Rich
mond on the Ist and 15th of Each month, or
oftener if there should be sufficient goods on
hand to fill the car. Arriving at Richmond,
the goods should be delivered to some designa
ted officer connected with the Georgia Hospit
al, whose duty it should be to procure a ware
room for housing them. His next duty should
be to assort them as soon as possible. Those
intended for troops in the Army of the Poto
mac, should be sent immediately to Manassas,
and those for troops at Norfolk, Yorktown and
North-Western Virginia, should be sent to
those places. Or, if thought best, the officer
at Richmond should notify the commanders of
regiments, or their surgeons or quartermasters,
of the arrival of the goods, and that he was
ready to forward them upon their requisitions.
By adopting some such plan as this, the con
tributions of our friends at home would reach
their desired destinations with safety and dis
patch. It would be well, however, before
adopting this or any other plan, to consult Mr.
Stephens at Richmond, or Mr. Moore at Au
gusta. They have given more thought to the
subject, probably, than any one else, and are
better prepared to give advice than those who
have been occupied with the mere active du
ties of the campaign.
The articles most needed by the soldiers are
thick, warm overcoats, woolen socks and bed
sacks and pillow ticks. Every man should
have two pairs of good winter shoes and socks,
and two suits, over and under, of warm cloths,
a pair of gloves and a comforter. All these
articles are indispensable. The Government
will not be able to furnish overcoats and socks
for the whole army; nor a sufficient supply of
blankets and shoes. The bed sacks and pillow
ticks are of the highest importance. These
sacks should be six feet and a half long and
three feet wide. They may be made of osna
burgs or any strong stuff, and should have an
opening left to put in hay or straw. When
the regiment or company is moved, the hay
can be emptied and the sack folded up and
carried in the knapsack. Surgeons are unani
mous in their opinions of the importance of
these sacks, especially for the sick
lam certain that I need not say more. No
true man or woman in Georgia will be able to
sleep well this winter, however warm his or
her bed may be, who can, and yet does not,
furnish one of these sacks and pillows to the
brave men, whose lot it will be to lie upon the
frozen hills aud in the wet valleys of Virgin
ia, with no protection from either, unless aid
shall come from home A just God will allow
no such man or woman to sleep in peace, and
I am giad of it. A

LEAVING RICHMOND —SACRED REMNISCEN
C'F.S AND MONUMENTS OF LIBERTY A
CAMP INCIDENT NIGHT ALARM —LONG
RIPE —NO ENEMY MAD —GENERAL MA
GRUDER MILITARY ARRANGEMENTS
HEALTH, AC.
Camp Washington, (
Yorktown, October 9, 1861. j
Dear Confederacy : We left Richmond on the
15th of September. Our march was over
grounds rendered sacred by the tread of the
sires of the Revolution. We slept, the first
night, upon one of their old camping grounds,
and drank from a spring that had slaked the
thirst of many a weary soldier. We passed an
old church, in which, it is said, Gen. Wash
ington was married—quite a dilapidated look
ing building. We also encamped at a church
said to have been his headquarters for a short
time. It was built in 1775, of brick imported
from England. I there saw a tombstone dated
1748. I have since seen one, a mile below
here, on the river, dated 1655. We spent a
day in Williamsburg, where stands the cele
brated William and Mary College, now con
verted into a hospital for our sick soldiers, un
der the superintendence of Dr. John G. West
moreland.
We are now encamped on the battle-field of
Yorktown. Within a few hundred yards, and
in full view of our camp, stands a monument
where Lord Cornwallis surrendered hissword;
still nearer, is the house in which the terms of
his capitulation were signed. It is a staunch
looking building—might stand the shock of
another battle or revolution, and witness the
capitulation of another invading General.—
Our camp is on the bank of York River. It is
a beautiful plain. Have a fine view of the
blockading fleet, which lies off ten miles be
low. The river here is about two miles wide.
There was a little incident, the other night,
which, though not of much importance, creat
ed some excitement at the time. About one
o’clock, Thursday night last, we were aroused
from a deep sleep by the shrill notes of the
bugle and the heavy roll of the drum. To
arms, to arms,” was the cry ; “the enemy are
landing in great numbers below here.” We
donned our arms, saddled our horses, and put
off at triple-quick time, and sped down the
river nine miles, expecting every moment to
come face to face with the enemy. We were,
however, most sadly disappointed, to learn
that none of the enemy had landed or attempt
ed to.
It seems that the two pickets stationed thera
were either drunk or fools ; for they mistook a
small fishing smack, with three or four men
in it, for five or six large war steamers, with
as many thousand men in them The fishing
smack, on coming near the shore was hailed
by the pickets, who, receiving no reply, fired
off their guns, mounted their horses, put out
up here at full speed. They aroused the whole
brigade at this place; none, however, were
sent but the cavalry.
On our way down, four or five sailes below
here, the battalion was thrown into some ex
citement, occasioned by the firing of two guns
in the rear. Ten or twelve men were sent
back to find out the cause of the firing, who
soon returned and reported “nobody hurt,”
and we went on without any fuither disturb
ance.
We returned to camp about ten o’clock A
M., Friday, sadly disappointed and tolerably
mad. I think if some of our men were al
lowed to handle those pickets for a little
while, they would learn to inform themselves
better hereafter before reporting. To have
such a heavy ride and no fight was too bad.
Gen. Magruder, as you know, is in command
of this division of the army. He has sub di
vided it into three divisions. Cobb’s Legion
goes to Cockletown, in the first division, under
command of Gen. Rains, there to be held in
reserve. Cockletown is six miles below here.
We go there to morrow. It a general impres ■
sion that we will havo a fight here soon.
The health of our company is excellent, bet
ter than any company in the Legion—cavalry
being healthier than infantry.
As “taps” have sounded, I must extinguish
my light.
Yours very respectfully, J. R. G.
—
Commercial and Financial Convention.
THIRD DAY.
We failed, to receive any letter from our Ma
con correspondent, and compile the following
from the Telegraph :
Macon, Oct. 16th, 1861.
The Convention was opened with prayer by
Rev. E. W. Warren.
W. T. Woods, of Fla., was added to the com
mittee on commerce and finance.
Mr. G. B. Lamar, of Savannah, offered the
following;
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
Congress of the Confederate States to suspend
the collection of all duties on imports, and
that all the ports of the Confederate States be
thrown open and be made free to the trade of
all the nations of the world who maintain
peace with us.
The resolution was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Lamar offered a resolution in favor of
the free export of cotton, which was referred
to the standing committee on business.
Mr. Bass offered the following resolution :
Resolved, That the export duty imposed on
cotton by the Congress of the Confederate
States being an exclusive tax upon the cotton
planters and partial in its character, was an
error on the part of the Government, and the
object for which said tax was imposed could
have been much better and more impartially
accomplished by a direct tax for this special
purpose.
Mr. Chambers, of Ala., submitted a resolu
tion that planter’s ought not to sell their cot
ton for lees than 8 cents, and that the banks
ought to advance 5 cents on it to enable the
planters to hold it. It was passed.
The regular order, the report of the busi
ness committee on the Sequestration Act, was
then taken up and discussed at length. A
number of amendments and substitutes were
offered—some of which were adopted.
The resolutions as amended and adopted
are as follows:
Whereas, by the laws of nations, debts due
to alien enemies are suspended, an.d bear no
interest during the continuance of war
-ResoZved, therefore, That in the opinion of
this Convention, the Sequestration Act. adept
ed by the Confederate Congress at its recent
session should not require the payment of
debts due by our citizens to alien enemies du
ring the existence of the war; but that it
should require only the evidence of the in
debtedness to be returned, aud placed upon
record by the receiver, with security demand
ed and taken for the ultimate payment, of the
same,
That in cases wherein the debtor to an alien
enemy is also a claimant of indemnity for
damage sustained by the act or acts of the
government of the United States, or of people
thereof, the said claim shall be allowed as an
offset, and thejbalance only shall be the sub
ject of payment.
That we respectfully recommond to the Con
federate Congress such alterations in, or ad
ditions to, the Sequestration Act as may be
necessary to authorize the Confederate Courts
to inquire into the bona fide of every transac
tion of our own citizens with alien enemies
between the 21st day of May, 1861, and the
date of the passage of that act, and to protect
from the operations of the act those engaged
in such transactions, whose dealings with the
enemy were of manifest benefit to the people
or the Government of the Confederate States,
or free from taint of disloyalty.
That the Government of the Confederate
States having assumed the place of the alien
creditor of the Confederate debtor, should
stand ou the same footing with all other cred
itors.
That this Convention further recommend to
the Congress of the Confederate States such
modification of the Sequestration Act as may
be requisite to exempt from its operations the
property of persons resident in the States with
which we. are at war, who are laboring under
the disabilities of coverture or infancy, and
consequently unable, though desiring it, to
change their domicil, and who are not actual
ly enemies to the South.
J. M. Vernon, of Tenn., offered the follow
ing, which was adopted :
Resolved, That to tacilit-ile aud simplify
commercial calculations in the country, we
recommend that the Congress ol the Confed
erate States pass a law regulating coins,
weights and measures, and that their basis
shall be put upon a decimal ratio, with ap
propriate denominations.
Mr. Germany offered the following, which
was passed :
Resolved, That a. committee of five be ap
pointed to examine and report upon the plan
of a vessel proposed by J. R. Butts, Esq , for
breaking of the blockade, and the effectual
opening of our ports to Free Trade.”
file President appointed as that committee,
the following gentlemen : Messrs G. W Gar
many, G. B. Lamar, B B. Lewis, W- B. Heriot
and T. J. Kerr.
The Convention adjourned at a late hour, to
meet in Montgomery, Ala., on the first Mon
day in May next.
Report of the Executive Committee of the
Book Depository, Georgia Conference at
Macon.
The undersigned members of the Executive
Committee met to-day in this city, and pro
ceeded to examine with much care and min
uteness, the condition, financially and other
wise, of the Book Depository of the Geor
gia Conference,” Rev. J. W. Burke, Agent.
We have examined, not only the balance
sheet as exhibited to us by the agent, but have
analysed the several items constituting the
same, and have also extended our examination,
to the condition and character of the stock on
hand.
The assets (consisting of stock and
cash on hand Notes and Accounts)
amount to $37,242.82
The liabilities 20,099.31
Showing a bilance to the Depos’y of $17,143.51
To this amount may be added sub-
scriptions and notes obtained by
Bro J. Blakely Smith during
his agency. * $ 5,258.50
Availabilities total $22,402.01
We think this exhibit will be gratifying to
the friends of the Depository, evidencing as
it does, a degree of solvency, that should put
to rest any apprehensions of friends and quiet
the suspicions and insinuations of enemies.
The notes and accounts due the Depository
we think will compare favarably with those
of any similar business house.
The stock on hand consists largely of School
Books that are daily appreciating in value,
from the fact, that new supplies cannot now
be obtained as formerly. Other classes of
books not now so much in demand, from the
care used by the Agent, in keeping them free
from dust, are not depreciating, aud with this
care continued, will remain “ merchantable”
a great while hence.
The sales for the last 4J months amount lo
$7,786.44. These sales are very satisfactory,
when considered in connection with the fact,
that books other than those used in our schools
and colleges, are regarded rather as luxuries
rather than necessities, and we cannot com
plain that our friends do not indulge themsel
ves in these times of pecuniary stringency.
We think that Bro. Burke deserves and
should receive the thanks of the friends of
this enterprise, for the industry and business
talent he brings to bear in its management ;
for as a committee we can and do bear testi
mony to the fact, that his every energy, has
been devoted to the success of his agency, and
none, other than a financial head and busy
hands, could have raised the Depository from
so small a beginning to its present proportion.
The Agent has thus far weathered the finan
cial storm, that is now paralising, almost ev
ery class of business, and withstood its ravs
ages, much better than we could have expect
ed—and with the Agent’s present system of
buying and selling, only for cash, (to which
he intends to adhere rigidly), he will, we are
confident, be enabled to meet hereafter with
out apprehension, any future crisis adverse
to commerical prosperity.
