the busy multitude* engaged, Est i.” the custom at
this season of the year, id their industrial pur

Ughuiina's flath, illCet.treville was arctised. Two
with foaming and panting steeds, ar

up the Kanawha Valley. Instantly, parties of
both o)d and yuog vied with each other in
Spreading far and wide tue iaielii/euce.
•Various reports, apparently well authenticated, j
were received, to the effect that uot only were
Northern troop* moviug up the Kanawha Valley,
but that an advanced force had reached Fayette 1
Court !loue, and also tuat a body of lffuo moun
ted troops bad entered the out* near Wheeling, .
and laic lii waste the towns of riuttottaviile and !

Lewisborg. intelligence also reached this place
bout is o eiock at night, that iJ,OOO luEader# were j
; wuhin twenty uuien of Lewiahurg.
Nothing can oxotidthe readmeas with which
the citizens of Monroe countv responded to the
ca!i to arms. Hundreds aod Lundrtais of her in
hahiianta, of ad age* and aexea, were moving,
some conveying the intelligence, * >rau preparing
arm sand anironniticD*, while the ladies were pre
panng food and clothing for their hrsbaud* and
sons.
Lurge volunteer companies, composed of men
froui over *ixlv to the mere stripling, threw tbern
aelves together hastily, armed to the teeth with
every conceivable deaih*deatmg implement, from
the old hunUtuati’g tiile to the dirk tend spear, and
left during the night for the .scene of actiou. Or
ders were issued for the militia toarru themselves !
with any aud every available wea;>ou, iu the ah- ‘
Bence ol the nde, togelucr with txXva to fell tim- ,
ter io the mouutaiu puesca to impede the progress ,
of the invaders.
The morning of the 4th of June saw all Monroe
astir, men and women, old and lnlirm, many of
* bum had ‘out seldom been from home ol late,
were aeeu making their way to arters.’
From every poiot of the compass they came, !
crowd succeeding crowd, all rushing eagerly to 1
the defence ut thoir country, uo one ever dreamed ,
©I the patriotic fervor wmcL manifested itself m |
the outburai of euibustaam of the people of old !
Monroe on this day.
The time lor leaving bad arrived, the liuo was
1 formed, the men weic generally armed with tbeir
truaty old rifles, a few with tioub.e barreled shot
guns, one man with pitchfork, a goodly number of
bowic knives aud revoUc-ro were eeen protruditig
from the boaouis of the bra\e so.diers. lhe

” Murk time,” wax herd along the iiue. At this
niotneat a large guerilla company returned with
information that uoeuamy wa upproacniug. The
brigade dibbanded und rcturueu to their tiomes.
Many were evidently dibiaUafied that they could
uot proceed.
Xearly all the men had left for their homes.—
Three o’clock had arrived, wbeu huddenly iu the
distance was heard the roar of fire-arms, as though
two armies ware io deadly strife.
The wound was not that of the cannon, nor v/an
it the sharp crack of ihe ntie. W ha; wa a it? At
this moment troops weru Been desceudmg the
Garreu Heights, tiring >alute alter sahite. It
turned out to bu a largo force from the adjacent
cotiuiy of Mercer, who, <>u bcariog ol the reported
luvasiou of Virginia soil, had Boued their ouuce
ball rifles, and Hastened to the defence of their
country, without Btoppiug to get a change of
clothes. Some started from their coru Uelds, not
waiting to take leave oi their tauiiiies
TiiAXaTo.vs Depot, Ueukoeo Cos.. June G.—Our
comiuuuily was tfirdWti m(o gieat excitement lusi
uigbf, by the arrival of a rumor, sent over from
tiie lowu of Hucbauau, with a dispatch to Cupi.
Fascuul iiutord, that a Uigo pa. tv of No: tbc-ru
Kaugor*, proceouing from too direction of the
Kauuwha Valley, were luvadiug tho Northweat
Counties beyond the blue Uidge ; that they were
burning aud devastating the wuole country along
their march ; and that already they had buruiti
LewUsburg and the White Sulphur ripringa, aod |
were proceeding in the directiou of Jfiucusile, in
Boletc/urt county.
It was night when this mtelligufreo reached our
County, aud though the night was dark aud the
rain falling in torrents, our citisui soldiery turn
ed out promptly to the appointed place of reudeZ
voub, (Buford’s Depot,) dispatching mei-seugern
in all directions during tue night, to give notice of
the approach of the invading enemy. At an early
hour ibis morning hundreds of our citizens had
repaired to the rendezvous, determined to wel
couitt the invader from every mountain gorge
with a murderous salute from our unerring rifles
iu the bauds of our mountain boys, who know
bow to handle them with telling effect. But,
fcoou after our arrival at the place of reudezvous,
a party of our citizens returned, who had during
the night crossed the Blue Uidge aud proceeued
as lar .18 Fmcaetle aud fiucbatmu, where they
satisfied themselves that there was uo toe nearer
than the KauawUa Valley, upou which General
McClelluu was marching with a huge body ot
troops from Ohio, which had produced the wildest

This, however, wtsa considered merely a freak of
that particular arm of the abolition service, as the
vessels dost about promiscuously, being here to
da.- :.ud a ocrteclly oieau coast to.iaorrvo.

Suuwou on Dautnskie island, on the Carolina

over the cue tn a iew muiutee, and tbe greatest
excitement prevailed. The nail to arms was
sounded to tbe detachment* of military remut- ing
iu the Citv, and everybody seemed anxious to take
part ia drcuiure&ting and destroying the inva
aera. Preparanioua were immediately made, guns
brought out aud boat* got ready. Gen Lawwa

A reckless and unprincipled tyrant has Jinvad

murdering and imprisoning your citizens, conns*
eating destroying your property, and com

shocking and revolting to humanity to he enu

In the name, therefore, of the constituted au

DUpatrlies to the Navy Repartinout.
The following comes through the medium 0
I the Nortberu Associated Press :
Wasbingtom, ’ June 6.—The Navy Department
to-Uay received dispatches from Lieut. Craven,
! commanding the steamer Crusader, dated Key
West, May 27th. He suvs: On the 14th the
steamer suwauuee, late Pampero, arrived here
trom New Oi'eaus, under the proclamation of
blockade, as also the order of the Secretary of
the Treasury for a clearance to p)rta of the seco
cled States, and he refused to permit her to re
turn to New Orleans. He offered to elear her for
New York, which offer was declined. He there
fore detained her for the use of the Government,
aud the captain relinquished the command. The
Suwannee belongs to the same company who loan
ed their steamer Rusk to the parties who aeized
the btar of the West.
Lieut. Craven confessed some degree of satin
faction in being thus able to inflict on that party
a retaliation for thus using their own steamer.
Lieut. Duncan was placed in command, and sent
iu search for the bark Majestic, about which great
anxiety was felt. He fell in with her at sea, aud
con dueled her into Key West.
Ou the 23d, an order having been received from
Col. Brown for troops and stores for Fort Pick
ens, Lieutenaut Duucan sailed iu the Suwauuee witn
hr veuty ‘soldiers aud u lull freight of store* of va
rious kinds for that Fort.
Notwithstanding the Southern reports to the
coni'ary, it appears from Capt. Adams’ letter to
tae St y Department, dated May 20th, that great
preparations Dad been made for an attack ou Fort
Pick ■ ls, .vbich at that time was hourly expected.
He dispatched the Wyandotte to Key West to j
bring tiuw u troops, and at tor wards placed her in 1
positiou where *he could render tbe most aid.— j
Previous to that time Capt. Adams informed Gen.
Bragg that the port was strongly blockaded, and
that vessels w nuldjbe dealt with according to the
laws agaii.et violating blockade.
Geu. u reply, said he considered this
•loMii’.-uiioo u sirtuui acknowledgment of national
eX'steu c, aud of the independence of the Con fed- !
erutc States. He asked Captain Adams to please |
consider the harbor closed against all bonis and
verseis of the Uuitcd fttatos, as bo should permit j
uoue to enter except Capt. Adams’ dispatch boat, j
under a white flag.
Important Movements on thb Mississippi.—
A Baltimorean (says the Sun,) who has iuafc re
turned from Texas, and who passed some time ec
route in .Mississippi, Alabama and Virginia, makes
the following report :
Large quantities of ammunition had recently
been received at Memphis from New Orleans, end
the defences of tbe city were proceeding vigor
ously. There are ten thousand troops at Mem
phis : all the approaches to the city, both ou the
river and on the railroads, are guarded by troops
and lortified by batteries. There is no railroad
from Cairo to Columbus, Kentucky—twenty
miles. At Columbus there is a regimeul of Ken
tucky rifleniHQ, one thousand men. At Hickman,
Kentucky, about twenty-live miles further down
the river, a railroad/ commences, which runs to
Union city, Tennessee. At Hickman there ia a
battery of'small field-pieces, aud five companies
of Kentucky soldiers iay 500 meu. At Union
city there is another battery of small field-pieces,
aud three compunies of Tennessee troops. At
Osceola, Arkansas, ou tue rig< t bank of the Mis
sissippi, ninety-five miles north of Memphis, there
are several batteries on a high bluff, aud these
are the first rtaliy formidable defences of the city.
The batteries are mouuied with heavy guns, and
•here is a force of 2,000 Arkansas troops in and
near the place.
Jacksou, Tennessee, is at the junction of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad with the railroad to
New Orleans. There are no batteries there ; but
at a poiut called liumbolt Station, eighteen miles
above, tbeie is a battery of tw’o thirty two pound
ers ou an embankment that commands the rail
road track lor two miles north. At Fort. Weight,
Tennessee, on the left bank of the Mississippi,
sixty-eight milts above Memphis, there are eight
or ten thousand men, six thirty two pounders, ten
sixty four pounders, aud five large mortars for
throwiug shell. At Fort Harris, Tennessee, 15
miles above Memphis, there 1* a force ol 3,000
men, and batteries mouutiug eleven 32 pounder*
and some guus of smaller calibre. At Fort Rec
tor, Arkuusus, ten miles north of Memphis, on tbe
right bank of the Misgi. sippi, there are 5,00'J men
and heavy batteries.
Fsou N'okpolk. —A letter to the Richmond Dis
patch dated Norfolk, Juue 10th, says .
It is here reported that the enemy's attack up
on our city will, in all probability, be made at
three different point* ; and while thie movement
i goiug ou, lik. lv a ship will attempt pusaage by
our batteries. This will be doue not with a view
to success, but to draw tbe attention of our troops
from more important posts. Rut this is of little
moment when it is remembered the number ot
forces we have guarding every point where an at
tack could be expected. I regard the success of
Huch a uiovomeut as impossible.
From recent facts we must either couclude that
an early invasion of our soil will occur, or an en
tire relinquishment of any such idea. My ground
tor so believing is in tbe iaci that Mrs. Capt. Dor
nou, a day or two ago, while tn route for our city,
but who stopped to pay a visit to her relation,
Com Pcudergast, was persuaded by him not to
come to Nortidk, if shu valued her own life aud
the lives ot her children, intiinatiug that uu early
attack upon tbc city was strongly meditated.
Confirming this,';? a letter from Old Point, to a
highly respectable gentleman of this city, implor
ing him for (.rod 1 * eake to leave the place at ouee ;
that a hold attack would be shortly made to take
it, aud tbe oity bombarded. The lstter through
out breathes au oflectiug tone, and is entitled to
some thought; since there could be no object in
the writer iu thus urging upon the persons, who
were relatives, tbe propriety of leaving, uuless an
attack was exoeiteif

We were detained at Strawberry Plaids about
two hours, and while there w-e saw the old flag of
tbe one- glorious Union ; aDd the sight of that
banner—now tbe emblem of tvrauny and oppres
sion—filled our men with rage, and immediately
a de'erminatton arose to take it down ; but tbe
interference ol rur officers stopped them. Iu the
tneaLwhile the e wee s .py sent from tbe Union
men, wii had just passed us with tome five or
six uudred strong, with same five or six hags,
all indicating oppression, aud by that means tney
found out that we were uuarmed , and as we
passed along the road where they had colleoted
to something ‘-’.he two thousand strong, to hear
Brpwnlow, Mavuard aud others make their last
desperate effort to carry Tennessee wi'h the
north, they begau to rock us aud level their guns
on us. Out non all gaw the guns bearing direct
lv upon us, hot aid homing nnti! they began to
throw rocks at us, aud then, and not until then,
one of our men threw a rock at them, and imme
. diately they began a heavy fire oa us, whieh our
men answered by firing some fifteen or twenty
at them with repeaters. Tbe cars did not

RUMORED ENGAGEMENT.
’ It was currently reported last evening that
lighting had commenced at Newport News. In
telligence reached us by way of Petersburg that
heavy firing had been heard in that direction ;
and if so, we suppose this must have been com
municated to Petersburg from Suffolk. We have
no particulars. The Norfolk Argus learns that
the Federal troops at Newport News stmek their
tents on Saturday and marched up the peninsula.
By the York River train we learn that heavy
firing was heard from the direction of Gloucester
Point yesterday, before the cars left West Point
for Richmond ; but whether caused by an engage
ment, or by the troops trying the range of their
gan, was not known. It is, presume, all conjec
ture, and we are very much disposed to regard
the rumor of a land engagement &s very doubt
ful.
CAPTAIN* WEBTH’s IN'TItE PID BKOOUNTER WITH THE
ENEMY.
From a reliable source we derive the following
i account of the interesting interview between Capt.
Wm. H. WertL, of the Chatham Grays, of Pitt
; sylvania county, and a scouting party of the Hes
i sians in the neighborhood of Hampton on Friday
| last. It differs eomewhat from our yesterday’s
statement. Capt. Werih and another officer being
together, and unaccompanied on a reconnoitering
expedition some distance in advance of the main
body, separated at the forks of the road, each go
ing on his own hook. After Capt. W. had pro
ceeded a short distance, he found himself sudden
ly iu the presence of five of tbe enemy. Haring
no idea of surrendering, he instantly drew hi 9 re
volver, aud without parley each party commenced
tirio*?—-Capt. W. killing tw’o of the party, tbe re
mainder retreated. The mule ridden by one of
tbe parly, however, was killed by Capt. W.’s last
shot, the rider having slipped off at the instant
and taken to the bushes. Capt. W. seems much
chagrined that the bad ground on which the ren
counter occurred prevented his bagging all five.
When this affair is reported for the Northern
press, it will of oourse be stated that their scouts
were attacked by a whole troop of dragoons.
Capt. W. vva*, in truth, alone, until joined, imme
diately after the firing, by his companion, from 1
whom he had parted only a few minutes before.
The two meu Killed are said to be. officers. Their
arms were taken by Captuin W. as fairly won
spoils.
ANOTHER A7FAIB—THE HOWITZERS FIRE AND THE EN-
EMY BUN.
There was a little ass air near the Halfway House,
below Williamsburg, ou Saturday morning, be
tween a detachment of Howitzets, under Major
Kuudolpb, and u company ot tbe enemy. It ap
pears they were about to meet iu the road, when
Major Randolph uulimbered one of bis pieces and
let fire, knocking over ten or twenty of the ene
my, who immediately beat a retreat. They met a
gentleman on their way, in a sulkey, and took it
away lroua him to accommodate oue of their
wounded Tho same gentleman saw a wagon
loaded with wounded men. They were making a
very rapid march of it towards Hampton, as they
passed by. 2|
AFFAIR* AT BARPEK’s FEBRY.
The Baltimore papers of Saturday contain the
following:
Frederick, Md., Juno 7. —An intelligent and re
liable informant just from Harper’s Ferry, re
ports a complete state of preparation for attack,
which is eagerly expected there. The indications
are all agaiust any intended evacuation of the
plaoe. Troops were constantly arriving iu com
panies and in squads.
Fifteen hundred reached there last night appa
rently from the interior of Virginia, and five com
panies ot about tJOo men arrived while he was
there. He also noted the arrival of several squads
of recruits. Provisions were abundant and the
men cheerful.
The strictest discipline is maintained, and my
informant was jDuly permitted to enter tho town
uuder a guard, aud to speak to any of the soldiers
iu the presence of the who accompanied
him.
Pickets extended for some distance iu tho di
rection of Pennsylvania. Six or eight deserters
i from tbe Federal ceuip at Cuatubersburg reached
: Harper * Ferry yesterday evening, aud several ou
| the day previous. Their arrival created much
merriment, in view of the reported desertions
1 from the Confederate camp, ana which were pro
nounced wholly untrue. Nothing was heard by
bitn of tbe prevalence of sickness iu tbe camp.
President Dav'* is expected there to-morrow,
when he will review the whole body ot troops
there stationed, which an officer stated to my in
formant, numbers about Iff,ooo.
FROM ALEXANDRIA.
Alexandria, June 7. —The U. S. steamer Re
liance arrived oft* this harbor about noon to-day,
and transferred the Lieutenant commanding to
the Washington steamboat. She brings news
from Fort Washington that four slaves had sought
refuge there from Virginia, who state that the
Confederates at Aquia Creek have so far only
used rifled field-pieces, which they have used at
various points, changing them according to tue
fire ot the United States vessels. They have not
yet used their battery of four thirty two pouuders,
which is masked bebiud an old fish-house out
side of the range of tte vessel’s guns.
A yaw l boat which has been carrying letters
between Maryland and Virginia has been cap
tured. The fugitives had been engaged throw
ing up earthworks.
From the confidence expressed by the inhabi
tants here there is not much fear of an attack
from the enemy at present.
A private meeting of Union men, to the num
ber of about 85, was held here last night at the
Marshall House, and was addressed by W. C.
Parsons, of Washington
To-day forty-eight met at the same place and
nominated Henry P. Martin and James P. Close
delegates to the Wheeling Convention. The
leaders in this movement expect to receive seven
five signatures to an address to that Convention.
The flag brought by the Third Infantry from
Texas will be to-morrow hoisted over the Quar
termaster’s Department, when a great jollification
is expected.
It is reported that the Federal and Confederate
pickets are gradually approaching each other on
the Fairfax road.

Washington, June 7.—Five companies of the
Third U. 3. Infantry—namely, Company B, Capt.
Shepherd; Company D, Lieut. Bell commanding;
Company G, Lieut. Williams commanding; Com
pany H, Capt. Sheridan; Company K,Capt. Sykes,
accompanied by a band, numbering twenty pieces,
with eleven heavily loaded baggage wagons, left
their barracks in the first ward, at 4 o’clock this
afternoon, and marched to the railroad station,
where they took passage (so the men said) for
Chambersburg.
This movement, in connection with the concen
tration of troops at that point, is regarded as indi
cative of immediate designs by- the Government
with reference to the strongholds of tbe enemy at
Harper's Ferry. gCompanv F, of the 4th 0. S.
Artillery, left the arsemil this afternoon by rail
for Carlisle barracks. Their place at the arsenal
was relieved by Company D, of the 2d Artillery,
which company arrived here a few weeks ago
from North Carolina.
The defensive works beyond Arlington House,
near Hoover’s place, opposite Georgetown, are
being rapidly and effectually strengthened by the
United States forces there. Thirty-six guns have
been mounted on tbe embankment. The troops

Haqbrstbown, June 7.—An advance brigade of
Federal troops under Col. Thomas reached Green
castle, IS miles south of Chambersburg, to-day.—
The column ia expected to reach here to-morrow
uight.
Four brigades are being pushed forward rapid
ly. The first column will probably encamp at the
fair Grounds, one mile below here, ou the Wil
liamsport road. Auother column will push on
southward.
There is great delight among the Union men at
this point at the advance o! the Federal troops
Everything looks like a decisive action withi. aud
on tbe Maryland sdo of the Potomac. The Con
federate pickets still occupy a position opposite
Williamsport.
The news from the Ferry to-day is that the
Confederates have had Shepberdstowu bridge
mined ready to blow it up, for a fortnight past.—
Shepberdstowu is ten miles west of Harper's Fer
ry.
Tbb Sentimbnt or Northwestern Virginia.—
A gentleman who has just arrived from this sec
tion states that no one can appreciate, without
being upcu the spot, the intense excitement aud
terrorism which exists throughout the doqntry,—
Xo matter what may be the social position of gen
tlemen, their previous association or social quali
ties, unless they fully coincide with the Union
sentiment of the masses, they ere driven from
their homes by vandal Virgiuiaus, urged on to
tbe perpetration of acts of malice and violence by
tbe presence of toe Federal troops. Among those
who hav beeu compelled to flee from their homes
and seek refuge in the mouuluins is ex-Goveruor
Johnson, ol Harrison couuty; Rob't Johnsoq,
Esq , from Clarksburg, a former Auditor of the

and numbers of others.
Our informant passed many of these refugees
on the roaii, some of whom had tormerlv lived
in Eastern yirginia, but were poty being driven

these was an old man nearly seventy years of age,
who. barefoot, was traveling with bis wife aud

standing upon the sidewalk was so disgusted with
tbe familiarity of the negroes among the men that
she gave vent to her indignation in a rather bit

Affairs at Makassas Jckctjon.—A letter to the
Richmond Dispatch, dated Manassas, June 11,
says :
Gur camp, on Hunday, was a scene of quite a
stirring display. About twelve o’clock word was
received that fighting had commenced at Fairfax,
aud in an incredibly short space of tints the news
went the rounds of camp, and in expectation of
orders to advance, men were to be seen in every
direction packing knapsacks, rolling their biaii
nets, burnishing their arms and putting tbeir
equipments in order for marching, while the air
rung with their jocund shouts, that at lust there
was a prospect of a brush with Old Abe's cut’
throat legions. As far as I could see, ail were
eeger tor the fray, and for one company I can say
that tbe news did more good tuo all the contents
of our medicine chest or the prescriptions of our
n ginienial Kscnlapius; for, of our twelve on the
sick list, uot one but bounced from his pallet uod
swore as lustily as Uncle Teby, that he could aud
he would march. It turned out U be a false alarm,
however, occasioned by the tiring of some field
pieces at Fairfax for the purpose of emptying and
cleansing the cannuu.
I am too well acquainted with a soldier’s duty
to say aught I may learu ot the designs of our
leaders, but I will venture the assertion that, iu
spite of the acuteness oi Billy Seward, the trait
orous skill of Scott, aod the narrow-minded fero
city of Uiucolu, such a terrible blow will full upon
the guilty trio as will cause them to hide their
diminished heads forever. Our men are pleased

with several caunon. Our loss was very small,
aud our troops are now ia full possession of Phil

A letter to the Richmond Dispatch, dated Lynch

feet that Col. Ashby bad sent word to headquar

Affaih3 at Fobteess Monroe.-—The Baltimore
Svn of Monday lias the following:
The arrivals of the Georgianna, Capt. PearsoD,
on Saturday, and the Adelaide, Capt. Cannon, yes
terday morbing, from Oiu Point Comfort, bring
intelligence from that quarter up to five o’clock ou
Saturday afternoon.
On Friday one of tbe Ericsson boats took down
to Old Poiut a large tow of fishing boats from the
Susquehanna river, which are to be used for laud
ing troops, each boat having a capacity for about
seventy meu, and with very light draught of
water.
One of the Zouaves and two other soldiers came
up on thp Adelaide From the latter we learned
that there are now twelve thousand troops at For
tress Monroe and in the vicinity, including the
arrivals on Saturday. Preparations are making
for an attack ou Norfolk, but Gen. Butler will not
move until he has a force of twenty thousand men.
The soldiers stated that Norfolk would be attacked
simultaneously front and rear. Five thousand
men will be *ent against Sewell’s Point, which
number, it ia the light bv the commanding general,
will be sufficient to take it. Those to make tbe
attack in the dir-ctiou of Portsmouth will be sent
from Washington, while the forces of Gen. Butler
will operate from the rear.
The diversion tywards Newport News Point ia
said to'be iutended to attract the attention of tbe
Confederate forces from the Sewell’s Point side
of the river.
It is understood at Fortress Monroe that Nor
folk is pretty well fortified, but they do not think
that there are any fortifications on the peninsula
running down to Cape May to seriously obstruct
the passage of the Federal forces.
The Zouaves who went out on Tuesday last
have not yet been heard from. One of those sent,
out in search of them is said to have accidentally
shot and kill* and himself. A det&tcbment from the
Troy (N. Y.) Regiment was atterwards sent out
in search oi the lost soldiers, which was surpris
by a party of Confederates, and and riven oack
within the lines. One man was killed, five wound
ed and two taken prisoners.
Everything was quiet at Fortress Monroe, but
the men were subjected o constant drill.

Union, having taken their departure. Commodore
Tatnall, who was on board tbe Florida steamer
St. Johos, concluded that he would run out to a
safe proximity aud take a peep at Lincoln’s fa
mous blockades. Taking on a full head ot steam
he made directly for the Union, which lay soma
two miles beyond the bar. Upon approaching
the latter Hhe immediately weighed anchor and
put for sea at full speed. Our party, rather
liking the fun, pursued for some seven miles,
when, feariog tbe steamer might get short of
wood, thev tacked about, leaving the Union under
full speed in the direction of the other continent.

The captain flatly refused Fotter then drew a
revolver from his belt, aud called his crew from
the launch with the order—“ Boys, cuice here and

Summer Resort*.
Among the beneficial effects which tho South is
I likely to experience from the present war, i* the
patronage which our pleasure seekers and invalids
j will perhaps extehd to our owp watering-plates,
that was once given to Northern Summer resorts.
There will be much fewer fasbiouable visitocs, or
| frequenters at wateriug-pHces for the mere plea
sure of the hour, either North or South, thisyear,
inasmuch as the dread realities of war have ab
sorbed all other thoughts, aud the contents of
the purse must be expended in feeding and cloth
ing armies instead of following ail the behests of ,
fashiou. Our Southern, people who are invalids, ,
and are obliged to spend lhe summer at some of ‘
the Springs, whose healing virtues they covet, will j
this year keep clear of Saratoga—-there are plenty I
of places at home, whose health-giving waters |
bubble aod sparkle for their use. We have just
as good medicinal springs as the famed ‘‘ Cou j
gress,” that only need to become as widely j
known to be as fully appreciated.
And as to the coucomitaats of natui al scenery,
we will pit our Southern watering places against
any of them. AU varieties of pleasing landscape
can be found by only a few hours ride luto
our rural districts. It is not necessary to enume
rate particular points or localities. Hundreds of
quiet nooks and shady recesses exist here at
hqme, easy of access, aud full as agreeable in
every respect as Northern resorts. Why should
we take flight to a Northern clime at the first ap
proach of the heated term? Are we uot suffi
ciently ‘‘acchmaied” to consent to remain in our
own precincts for oue summer at least ? We
venture to say one-half, if not two-thirds of the
money spent at Saratoga yearly, comes out of
Southern purses. Tbe creme dt la creme of sucie
ty there* as acknowledged by tbe oracular Willis,
is made up of Southern belles aud beaux. Happy :
will it be tor us if the blockade puts a barrier ou
this sort of business, for tbe near future ut all

R. J. Moses, of Columbus, in eodeav riug to
make arrangements to convert his fruit crop lute
Confederate bonus. lli3 crop, at usual prices,
would have brought $15,000 iu New York. Being
debarred from that market, he thinks now of send
ing his fruit to Ricbmoud, Norfolk, &c., if he cau
make suitable arrangements with tho Express
Company. Mr. Moses might flud large 3alo here
for fruit, as the country round about is almost
bare of peaches. And we would, in passing, call
tbe attention of our up-coautry friends, who have
au abundance of peaches, to the fact that Augusta
must rely upou other than the surrounding coun
try for her supply of this fruit. Send along all
you have to spare at moderate prices.

Rally among: tbe Ladles oi Hancock.
Mr. Editor : A short time since we were pre
seut at a meeting called by the Ladies of Culver
ton and viciuity for tbe purpose of taking ‘action
upon the recommendation of Gov. Brown in bis
timely address to the people of Georgia. The
specific object of the meeting was the formation
of a society, which should have for its object the
aid of our soldiery, now in service, by making
clothing for them, m such quantity as each lady
might feel to be accordant with her ability, or
that patriotism might suggest.
The Society was organizod. We were glad in
deed to find the ladies so ready to respond to the
appeal of our worthy Governor. We have always
btlieved that old Hancock, the lady part especial
ly, would be no laggard in tbe crisis now upon
us. Though apparently slow, but cautious to act,
she will respond heartily when necessity demands

SUBSCRIPTIONS OP COTTON—CONVERTIBILITY OF
Confederate Bonds.— The Havanuah Republican
says: We are inclined to the belief that a very
material error exists with regard to the Bonds to
be received by planters on the transfer in lieu of
the proceeds of their crop 9, or 90 much thereof
aa shall be subscribed to the Confederate States.
Perhaps we have done our share towards causing
the mistake.
All subscriptions of crops stand in the light of
a loan to the Government, on Bonds to run for
twenty years and bear interest at eight per cent
per annum. These Bonds arc not convertible in
to Treasury Notes, as some seem to suppose.
“Holders of Treasury Notes moy convert them
iuto Bouds at will, and these Bonds again into
Treasury Notes if desired. These convertible
bonds, however, are a different security from
those issued to crop subscribers, and are the only
Bonds, which, together with Treasury Notes, the
Banks have resolved to receive on deposit.”
Vior President Stephens addressed the people
of Wilkes, at Washington, last Saturday, ou the
subject of the Crop Loan, His speech is said to
have been one of the best of his life, and was re
ceived with unbounded enthusiasm. Two thou
sand bales of cottou were subscribed on the spot,
and the subscription will be increased to at least
four thousand. Old Wilkes is proverbial for her
patriotism, and she will never dishonor the mem
ory of her Revolutionary heroes. All she has, of
men and money, are at the service of the Confed
erate Government.

The Pres3l'be in Cincinnati. —A gentleman in

a year since. Latterly he tried to sell two of bis
brisk bouses for sl/000 each, but eould not obtain
