As your coin inns are open for the introduction
of such matter* as relate to the interest of our ;
soldiery, and as reports of what the ladies in j
other counties and communities «re doin' toward j
the M/ldii r , arc occasionally making their appear* j

our county, particularly this portion of it, is i
doing in this magnanimous and patriotic work. [
Then? are now, within the hin ts of the county, as •
many as hix sewing clubs - two or ti.re.fi regularly
organized societies. The rest may be termed
branches, or auxiliary societies. Os the amount
of work don*-* In other parts of county, I am not
well enough informed to speak; but what 1 have j
to H..y, of the amount at this place, %\\ be j
spoken from personal knowledge. The Society
was organized about three montljH ago, and was!
at first comparatively email, but has oeen grow- j
mg all the while, uiiu now embraces n circuit of !
aOonl live miles.
Th*? quantity of sewing and knitting which has
already been done, is almost incalculable. In
deed, there has not, sire - the organization of the
Society, been a tunc when there was no work
going on. The Indies, one and all, irrespective of
classes, vie with each other in the making of gar
ments. The contagion has even caught the little
misses it school, and in their leisure momenta
they re manifesting their patriotism, and cor
tributmg their uni*; in the preparation of pocks.
The irurmeotH that have been made, the greater
part of which have been forvv .irdod to the soldiers,
were, intended lor fiuimner ufid full clothing.---
Wintei gurinentH sii>* now on hand, and thy
amount of cloth which has been engaged, be
tokens for the soldier an ample supply of good,
warm clothing, made in the In st manner, and of
the moat subsiuntiul material the country afi'or ls.
The hospital uluitn was presented to the Society
at its lawt meeting, and the collection for that
cause amounted to (do) sixty dollars. I am in
iolbrmed that, forty dollar will be taken out of
the treasury for the b tine cauhc, which will make
a subsn iptmn of one hundred dollars
A lucid commentary th» < of w niiiin’s influence

To the Editor af the Chino ode dS*ntind:
Having m *i,tly travelled through Cherokee
county, and other sections of the Cherokee coun
try, I have no hesitancy in saying that the great
mass of the people are opposed to the re-election
of Gov. Brown to a third term. They believe
that the Empiie State of the South has other
great men besides Gov. ft. Rotation m office is ‘
the cry, and thousands who, ut the last election, ,
like myself, voted for Gov. Ik, will not vote for j
him again unless for some other position

n.g ti,<- battle of Springfield :
1 begn-i to move my command from its eocaotp

on tbe 2'»tb of July, towards Caascille, in Barry
* at '• bict: -..ace it had been agreed upon
i . t'v. .-n 1..-net ti McCulloch, I’caree, and mv«elf
li.ai oar respee- ve forces, together with those of
Gen Mcßride, should be concentrated, pre
pano'-ry to a forward movement. We reached
( .. • iville on Gundav, the *JBtb of July, and on the
Mtxtd effected a junction with the armies of
Gem ml Me Gull uc . and Pearce.
The combinA armies were then r»ut under
march!:;g order? , and tbe First Division, Gen.
McCulloch comm tiding, left Cassvilfe on tbe Ist
of upon ibe raad to this city. Ti e Sec
-0,1,1 I hvision, undei Gen. Pearce, ol Arkansas,
hu on the Ist day o! August; and the Third
Division, Brig. Gen. .Steen, of this State, com
manding, left cn th« 2d day of August. I went
lor ward with the Second Division, which em
braced the greater portion of my infantry, and
encamped with it some twelve miles northwest of
Camville.' The next morning a messenger from
Gen. McCulloch informed me that he hud reason
»o believe that the enemy were in force on the
load to Springfield, and that he should remain at
hi* then encampment on Crane creek until the
Second and third Divisions ot the army had come
up. The Second Division consequently moved
forward to Crane creek t and I ordered the Third
Division to a position within three milt's of the
same place.
;h(- advance guard of the arrny consisting of
fix companies ot mounted under
command ol Brig -Gen. Kains, was at this ti e
1 I'ridav, August 2) cm amped on the Springfield
road about five miles beyond Crane creek. About
2 o’clock, a. m., of that day, Gen. 11 ins’ pickets
reported to him t!iut they bad been driven in by
the eut.my’H advance guard, and that officer im
mediately . and foiwaru bm whole force, amounting
to nearly 4-o men, until ho found the enemy ift
position, heme three, miles on the road. He sent
back at once to G.en. McCulloch for reinforce
ment?, and Col Mclntosh, C. S. A., was sent for
ward with 1 « r -U men , but a recounoisauce of the
ground having satisfied the latter that the enemy
did not have more than 100 men on the ground,
he withdrew his men and returned to Crane creek.
Gen. Ruins soon discovered, however, that he
was m presence of the main body of the enemy,
numbering, according 1o his estimate, more than
live thousand men, with eight pieces of artillery,
and supported by a considerable body of cavalry. ,
A severe skirmish eriMied which lasted several
hours, until the enemy opened their battcricsvand
compelled our troeps to retire. In this engage
ment the greater portion of Gen. Rains’ command I
and especially that part which acted us infantry, ■
behaved with greut gallantry, as the result dern ■
onstrates.; for our loss was only one killed . Lt. j
Northcut) and five wounded, while live of the cm i
i?uiy ’rt dead were buried on the field, and a large I
number are known to have been wounded.
Our whole forces were concentrated the next
day near Crune creek, und during the same night, j
il '1 ;u regimemt, under Col Greer, came up
within a few mih sos the same place.
li« Mrtons, which will be* herealtcr assigned, in- j
due* il me on Sunday, the 4th instant, to pat ihe ;
\1: 'iu i lotci-H miml r t ije direction, for the time |
heiri;?, <d Gen. McCulloch, who accordingly as j
mimed »i *f * command iri chief of the combined!
armies. A little after midnight we took up the j
line o! raurch, leaving our baggage trains, and '
expecting to find tbe enemy ni ar the scene of the j
late skirmish, but wc found i.s we advanced, they •
vv.-r-- rcti'-atiiu?; rapidly towards Springfield. !
vVc loMowtd ihem Jaistily about seventeen miles,
to a place known us Moody’s Spring, where we
wer* compelled to halt our forces, who were al
ready nearly exhausted by tGo intense heat of the
weather and the dustiness of the roads.
Early the next morning wo moved forward to
Wilson’s creek, ten miles southwest of Spring
fi• hi, where we encamped. Our forces were here
fiut in ieadinevs to meet the enemy, who were
posted nt Springfield to the number of about 10,-
It wis finally decided to march against
them , and on Friday afternoon orders were
i.-■mi* and i" march hi four separate columns, ut nine
o’cli cl. that night, so us <> surround the city and
begin a miiiulluijcouh ritiiu-u at daybreak. The
darkness i ihe night and a threatened storm
run ■ ! Gin Met'uiioeh, just as the army was
a bon I to fiiM'cb, ;o courdei niuud this order, and to
direct that ihe (roups should hold themselves in
rridiiirMN to iih' 1 t? whi ic ver ordered. Our men
were consequently kept under arms till towards
day break, expecting, momentarily, an order to
nun eli. The morning ol Saturday, the loth of
August, found them slid encamped at Wilson’s
creek, fatigued by u nr. Ui’s watching, and loss of
rest.
About .six o’clock 1 received a messenger from
G. ueral Ruins that lh* enemy were advancing in
great force from the direction of Springfield, and
were already within 2‘M o: 300 yards of the posi
turn where he was encamped with the second
brigade of bis division, consisting of about 1,200
mounted men under Gol. Gawthorn. A second
messenger came immediately afterward from Gen.
Rains to announce that the mam body of the
enemy was upon him, out that he would endeavor
to hold him in chock uqtil he could receive rein
lorcemenls. lieu. Me-’ulloch was with me when
these messengers came, and left at once for his
own headquarters to make the necessary disposi
tion ol our forces.
1 rode forward instantly toward Gen. Rams’
position, at the same time ordering Gens. Slack,
Mcßiide, Clark and Raisons to move their infan
try and artillery rapidly forward. 1 bad ridden
i but u few hundred j utus when I came suddenly
upon the main body ol the enemy, commanded
i>v Gen. I.you in person. The infantry and artil
lery which i had o do red to follow me came up
iuimediately to the number of 2,Odd men, and
engaged the enemy. A severe and bloody conflict
ensued, my officers and men behaving with the
greatest bravery, and, with the assistance of a
portiou of the Confederate forces, successfully
holding the enemy in check. Meanwhile, and
almost simultaneously with the opening of the
enemy’s batteries in this quarter, a heavy can
nonading was opened upon the rear of our posi
tion, when? a large body of the .enemy, under
Col. Seigel, had taken position in close proximity
to Col. Churchill’s regiment, Col. Greer’s Texan
Rangers, and h 79 mounted Missourians, under
command ol Col. Browil and Lieut Col. .Major.
The action now became general, and was con
j ducted with ihe greatest gallantry and vigor on
both sides, tor more than five hours, when the
enemy retreated in great confusion, leaving their
commander m-chiet, Gen. Lyon, dead upon the
, bi.ltlc hold, over five hundred killed, aud a great I
I number wounded.
i tie to: ces under my command have possession ■
l of three twelve pounder howitzers, two brass six
pouuder*. and a great quantity of small arms amt
uaimunition, taken from the enemy ; also, the
Mandat'd of ."eigel's regiment, captured by Cap
tain Staples. They have also a large number of
prisoner*.
The hnlliaut victory thus achieved upon this
, hard fmiuht held, was won only by the most de
; termined bravery, and distinguished gallantry of
! the combined armies, which i'ought nobly side by
Mde, 111 oefeD.su ot their common rights ami liber
in is, with a.s much courage aud constancy as were
ever exhibited upon any battle .field.
V> lure all behave so well, it is invidious to
make any ihstiuctiou, but l cannot refrain from
k xprcN.-mg my sense ot the splendid services ren
dered, uuder my own eyes, by the Arkansas tn
lantiy, under Gen. I‘eurcc, the Louisiana regiment
ot Got. Hebert, ad (*ol. ('hurchill’s regiment of
mounted ritlemen. These gallant otficers and
their brave soldiers Wou upou that day the last
ing gratitude of every true Missourian.
This great* victory was dearly bought by the
blood ot many a skillful otlicer and brave mau.
Others will report the losses sustained by the
Confederate forces; I shall willingly confine my
self to the losses within my own army.
Among those who fell mortal'y wounded upon
the battle field, none deserve a dearer place in
the memory Missourians than Kichard Hanson
W eightnmn, colonel commanding the first bri
gade of the second division of the army. Taking
up arms at the very beginning of this unhappy
contest, lie had aiready done distinguished service
at the battle of Uoct Creek where he command
ed the State forces after the death of the lamen
ted Holloway, and at Carthage, where he won un
failing laurels bv the display ot extraordinary
coch courage and skill. He fell at the head
v f his brigade, founded in three places, and

Special to the Savannah Republican.
Richmond, Aug. 2 ..—The Baltimore Exchange
of Saturday says that Attorney General Bates has
given an opinion that the *freedom of the Press
can be set aside constitutionally whenever the
safety of the Republic requires it; accordingly
twro papers :n Philadelphia have been seized and
suppressed by the U. S. Marshal. It is evident
that all the papers opposed to Lincoln's adminis
tration will be stopped.
The New York Herald calls aloud for martial
law everywhere, lor the suppression of the oppo
sition Press.
Secretary Cameron has issued an order con
solidating the army and abolishing all State dis
tinctions.
Charleston, Aug. 2‘>.—Private advices received
here state that Gea. Bragg has been ordered to
the Potomac.
In the Confederate Court to day, Judge Ma
gratb decreed the brig John Welsh and cargo as
a lawful prize for tbe use of her captor.-', tbe
privateersmen of the Jeff. Davis.
Also the brig Glenn aud cargo for the use of
her captors, the privateersmen of tbe Dixie.
The steamer Marion, arrived this morning from
Bull’s Bay, reports occasional visits from a man
of-war off Bull’s Bay yesterday.
A schooner also appeared oIT there waving the
English flag, and stood off and on until dark,
supposed her to be a vessel of the enemy :.i
disguise, whilst others took her fur a British craft
desirous of bolding communication.
The Marion brought six prisoners that were
formerly attached to the bfig Joseph.
Richmond, Aug. 26—Congress did nothing to
day of public interest. The President is too un
well to read and sign bills.
Nothing of interest from the camp.
Special Despatch to the Savannah Sews.
Richmond, Aug. 26. —In view of the blockade
Congress has passed a bill, not yet approved by
the President, who is sick, throwing open the
whole Southere coast and repealing the law es
tablishing ports of entry. Bv the new law ves
sels are allowed to enter any harbor or inlet, and
to transact Custom House business with the near
est office of customs.
There is considerable difference oi opinion in
Congress in regard to tbe adoption of proper
measures of retaliation in tbe confiscation bill.— j
Some members are in favor of the entire confisca- :
tion ol the property of alien enemies, while oth- |
efs are for going only to the extent of sequestra j
tion, Same difficulty also exists in making a 1
statute of limitations so as to protect the govern- j
ment against fraudulent assignments of enemies
property already effected.
We have before us, iu the Savannah papers, a
synopsis of the eloquent address of Hon. John E.
Ward on the Produce Lo a, delivered at Thornas
ville, August 22nd. We should be glad to pub
lish it entire, but can only find room for a few ex
tracts. He begins with such a tribute as only
Mr. Ward could pay to the lamented Bartow.
“The invitation extended to me by your com
mittee, was to discharge a duty which had been
assigned to your late Representative. The ac
ceptance of that invitation, enables me to day to
mingle mv sigh ; with yours over his new made
grave. Would that I could lay a tilting garland
on that grave, lie saw the danger which threat
ened us from afar, and poured out his eloquence
to rouse us front our fancied security. He saw
the rod uplifted, and he poured forth his heart’s
blood to shield us from the blow. He was no
nameless adventurer, seeking reputation at the
cannon’s mouth. The friends of his youth were
around him. The wife of his bosom was before
him. A whole people had delighted to honor
him. He turned from them all to meet at the
very threshold, the invaders of Southern'soil. If
we follow him to that field, the fervid fanny of
the Poet can picture r.o grander scene. In the
glowing language of one who loved and honared
him as the great and good can be loved and honor
ed only by their peers, “wherever the storm of
war was fiercest, there was he; wherever Death,
was busiest in the bloody work, there raged lie
the very irhpcrsonatioii of a lie io.” j Bishop Elliot.
Ot Ins own life lie recked not. That had been
dedicated to his country ; but when he saw his
young heroes wounded, bleeding, dying and dead
about him, then the bitter cry was wrung from
him, “Can I dp nothing to save‘these gallant
boys ?” Their mission, like his, was to illustrate
their brave Georgia, and Ihis must be accomplish
ed.
When the foe wa< flying before him, when the
shouts of victory were singing in his ear, he
turned his eye for the last time to the flag of his
country, waving in triumph over that field of
carnage, wrapped the drapery of immortality
about him, and lay down to rest. Let our chil
dren learn to lisp Ihe name of Bartow. Let gene
ration after generation rise up and honor him.
Let the sleeping quarry leap forth and pay its
voiceless homage.
The prerequisite of such a character was a
mother simple, grand, heroic, like himself-—who
could place her trembling hand upon his bier and
with quivering lips exclaim, “My noble boy, God
has taken you from pie, but, I freely give you to
your country.’’
He thus speaks of the the proba
ble action of Government :
But it may be asked it the blockade continues
and the cotton cannot be exported, how is the
subscription to be paid to the government, and
how are the planters to obtain funds for the ordi
nary transactions of life. I can only give the
opinion of a private citizen, in no manner con
nected with the government, and having no offi
cial influence or position with it.
41’iie government having wisely determined that
as long as the blockade continues there shall be
no export ot cotton except by sea, my judgment
is that there will be an imperative necessity for
the government to interfere in behalf of the Plan
ters, receiving from them their subscriptions in
cotton, and taking the residue of their crops at a
liberal price, payable in Treasuiy notes. By this
means a circulatiag medium will be furnished to
the people, aud the government, by showing to
the world that it has the means ana that it intends
to control the cotton crop, will speedily obtain a
recognition from the governments of Europe, so
dependent for their prosperity upon the Southern
products.
And here is his eloquent and beautifnl perora
tion—
Their ( Lincoln’s) Government is reeling under
n fast accumulating debt, without revenue, and
without resources. Their capitalists are rapidly
sinking into poverty. Their merchants into
Bankruptcy. Their laborers are without employ
ment. Their poor without food. The poor mother
with her starving child, now crouches upon their
marble steps, and pleads for bread. When a few
more suns shall rise and set, the maddened father
with arms, may stand within their frescoed balls
and cry for blood, until throughout those doomed
cities shall reign the wildest anarchy earth has
ever known.
We too, muftt have our trials and our sorrows—
with the opening ot our ports the war may not
end. Years of privation and misery may be in
store for us. The mother may still be compelled
to mourn in bitter anguish for the brave boy who
has gone forth to return no more. The wife to
bind up the wounds of her husband. The maiden
to wipe tke der.th damp from her lovers’ brow—
but a united people can never be forced to aban
don a Government which they cherish, aud to
become the subjects or associates of their inva
ders. No! My friends, the fountains of fanati
cism have beeu broken up, and the deluge is
upon us.
We have constructed our ark. and with the
; cOveuaut of our lathers, baptized by the blood of
| our heroes, aud consecrated by the priests of our
God, we have entered vhereiu. The storm may
howl above us—the fragments of a once mighty
Republic may float around us—every joint and
tirrrber may quiver and tremble beneath us—but
this Heaven directed ark shall move securely on
and rest safely on the mountain top.
Tftf Treasury Notes and the Banes. —It ia
generally known that the Secretary ot the Treasu
ry of the Confederate States has been disappoint
ed in making the issue of Treasury Notes an
nounced hy Congress. The plates prepared for
the smaller denominations, which the Banks of
the country agreed to receive and circulate, have
not met the approbation of the Department, and
delay must of necessity ensue.
In this difficulty it was -uggested that the
Secretary might obtain from the. Banks, tor tem
porary use, Hank Notes not required for their
own purposes, which wonld afford the usual tests
of genuineness, whilst a Government stamp upon
them, under an Act of Congress to authorize it,
would give them the character of Treasury Notes.
This measure is deemed by many entitled to earn
est consideration.
Whether this mode of meeting the exigency is
i practicable or expedient, we will not undertake
to say. If practicable, it would require time
i Under ibe circumstances, the Banks of the city
i have concluded that the Treasury ought to be
I provided with immediate facilities; and at a
: meeting of the Presidents and others represent
ing them on Thursday last, the *23d instant, it was
1 unanimously agreed to offer the Confederate
States a loan, upon pledge of large Treasury Notes
: or Government >doek, the amounts to be taken in
the notes ot the lending Banks, and the repay
ment to be made in Treasury Notes of smaller de
nominations, as soon as issues of such notes can
be made from approved plates. The rate of in
terest proposed for those advancing is five per
cent, per annum.
The sums tendered by the Banks, we under
stand, are not only liberal, but large. They have
! the highest confidence in the security which the
i Government a ill give. And they cheerfully meet
the common desire, that our cause should sutler
no embarrassment.
We cannot but doubt that the Banks of the in
terior of our State, and the Banks ot other States,
; will be equally ready and liberal.
Messrs. Charles M. Furman t Jacob K. Sass and
! Stephen I>. Robinson, were appointed by the
I Bunks a CommiUee to proceed to Richmond, to
! confer with the Secretary, and arrange the details
|of the measure. They left Charleston on Friday
i evening last, and are, no doubt, now in Richmond.

Most Disgraceful. —This afternoon a gentle
man called at the Twenty seventh Precinct Station
acd directed the attention of toe police to an out
ragious affair which be said Lau happened at !
Washington Market. Mr. John Matthews, of the
Fire Zouaves, he says, brought with him from
Virginia u little mniatto boy whom he kept at his
sigh stand, S3 > Washington Marked. During the
temporary absence of Mr. M., several loafer's took
hold of the boy and lifting him by the seat of Lis 1
breeches threw him gh Lis Lead, to test tbe hard
ness of his skull, which intellectual entertainment
resulted in tbe poor lad s head beiDg sorely bruised
The experiment was repeated until tbe boy was

i% To his Excellency Abraham Lincoln , President of
the United States :
“The undersigned American citizens having
come to the conclusion, and sincerely believing,
that Mr. Simon Cameron, your Excellency’s pres
ent Secretary of War, is in every respect wholly
unfit, for the high and at the present time doubly
important position your Excellency entrusted him
with, and further believing that lie is in fact a
great nuisance to the country, would most re
spectfully pray your Excellency to rid the nation

Arming Merchant Vessels aga.nst Priva
teers. —The New York Journal ot Commerce :
says:
The arrangement made between Spofford, Tile
ston A Cos., aud the Navy Department, for placing
one naval officer uhd fifteen gunners-on board
each of the New York and Havana steam packets,
will go into effect immediately. The decision of
the Secretary of the Navy upon the application is
i important, as establishing a precedent which will
doubtless be followed in the case of the California
steamships, and perhaps the larger class of sailing
vessels traversing the Atlantic coast and the
Gulf. The terms proposed by the above named
New York merchants are beneficial to themselves,
to the trading and traveling public, and to tho
United States Government—the lutter getting by
far the best of the bargain. Tbe agreement is,
that Spofford, Tileston A Cos., shall teed the offi
cers and meu furnished by the Government, thus
saving the United States not only tbe expense ot
two first class steamers fully manned, but the
cost of provisioning them. Each of the steamers
now carries two rifled 9 pounders, throwing lb
pound shots, on their main deck. It is presumed
that the Government will consent to treble that
l amount, and thus make the Havana packets equal
to the most formidable privateers. The future
attitude of the steamers will not be merely defen
sive, but offensive when occasion requires, and
| though they will not go out of their track to hunt
privateers, they will not hesitate to pursue them
to any distance, and capture or sink them, if pos
! sible.

We have the Mesiila Times of the 3d of August,
from which we derive the following items of great
interest aud importance:
On the Ist the train of Mr. Daguerre left for
St. Antonio with 30,000 pounds of copper from
the Hanover and Santa Rita mines.
On the 15fh the Apaches killed Richmond
Jones, Edward Tarbox, McCall, two Mexicans
and uu ludian boy.
The Uuited States forces in New Mexico were
thirty-six companies—fourteen mounted and
twenty-two foot. Os these, eleven have been
taken prisoners, and four others are in the power
of the Southern forces, leaving twelve infantry
and nine mounted at large. About half of these
are at Fort Staunton. Craig and Alberquorque,
and the remainder, are scattered at different
points a hundred miles apart and distant from
the Arizonian H omier. A Confederate force has
gone to attack Forts Wise aud Garland,and a few
weeks will probably show a capture of the whole
force of this Department. Their supplies from
the United Slates are already cut off.
The confidential order to Major Lynde from, the ;
commander of the Department of New Mexico
are in substance, that the whole regular force of
tiie department has been ordered to the States.—
All the Arizona forts are to be abandoned except
Fort M&untoo, which was to be garrisoned by
two companies of volunteers. The Government
property was to be sold, care being taken that
nothing should fall into the hands of Texans or
disaffected citizens of the Territory. T lie garri
son at Fillmore was to remain long enough to j
cover the withdrawal of the troops from Western j
Arizona, when it was to be abandoned, the force j
to march out by the way of Fort Craig and Staun
ton, prepared to resist all attacks.
C :pt. Geo. Frazier, of Meseilla, is organizing a

The mnssacr? of the mail party at Cook’s
Springs was only after a most desperate struggle.
It Appears the Indians, one hundred iu number,
first succeeded in stampeding the mules, the
coach was upset, aud the mules ran off. The
mail party secured their arms and retreated to a
hi!!, where they huilt’a small rock wall. The fight
appears to hav • lasted two days. AH about this
wall the grouud was strewed with battered bul
lets. Every rock and stone within many yards,
which could have partially secreted an Indian,
had bullets lying near. One small tree, someone
hundred and fifty yards from the wall, had the
marks of eleven balls on it. The horrors arid
sufferings which these men mdst have undergone,
is inexpressible. Nearly all had their arms brok
en. All were wounded iu the arms and shot
through the head. Four of the bodies wore
lotmd within the wall, one in front of it, and two
some fifty yards in the Tear.

PROCLAMATION.
TO THE PEOPLE OP THE TERRITORY OP ARIZONA.
The social and political condition of Arizona
being little short of general anarchy, and the peo
ple being literally destitute of law, order and pro
tection, the said Territory, from the date hereof,
is hereby declared temporarily organized as a
military government, until such time ns Congress
may otherwise provide.
i, John K. Baylor, Lieut. Col. Commanding the
Confederate army in the Territory of Arizona,
hereby lake possession of the said Territory in
the name and behalf of the Confederate States A
America.
For all the purposes herein specified, and until
.otherwise decreed or provided, the Territory of
Arizona shall comprise all that portion of the re
cent Territory of New Mexico lying south of the
34th parallel of north latitude.
All oilices both civil and military, heretofore ex
i .ting in thi * Territory, either under the laws of
the U nited States, or the Territory of New Mexico,
are hereby declared vacant., and from the date
hereof shall forever cease to exist.
That the people ot this Territory may enjoy the
full benefits of law, order and protection, and, as
far us posbible, the blessings and advantages of a
free government, it is hereby decreed that the laws
and enactments existing in thin Territory prior to
the date of this proclamation, and consistent with
the Constitution and laws of the Confederate
States of America, and the provisions of this de
cree shall continue in full force and effect, with
out interruption, until such time as the Confede
rate Congress may otherwise provide.
The said Terr.tory, from the date hereof, is
hereby declared temporarily organized under a
military government, until such time as Congress
shall otherwise provide.
The two Governments shall bo divided into two
separate and distinct departments, to wit-the
executive and judicial.
The executive authority ol this Territory shall
be vested in the Commandant of the Confederate
Army in Arizona.
The judicial power of this Territory shall be
vested in a Supreme Court, two District Court,-,
two Probate Courts and a Justice of the Peace,
together with such municipal and other inferior
courts as the wants of the people may from time
to fme require.
We omit that portion of Col. Baylor’s procla
mation in which he defines, in detail, the organi
zation of the provisional government of the coun
try, Ac.
Commenting on this proclamation, the Mesiila
Times says :
The importance and necessity of this move
ment is self-evident. We should emerge from the
chains and anarchy which have beset us, and as
sume the form and fact of a Territory, preparo to
receive its organization and set in motion the ma
chinery of courts, resolving that law and justice
shall be enforced aud sustained, aud zealously set
to work to develop, to improve, to adorn the hind
iu which we have made our homes.
Tho effect of this proclamation* will be to give
it relief from the numerous obstacles which
have surrouucled us. The rights and privileges
for which we have so long petitioned, and which
have been so repeatedly denied us by the Federal
Congress, have been afforded ns by this simple act.
W e can by this authority immediately commence
the solid foundation of a State, enjoy the security
ot certain protection and support from the law,
secure that individuality of the nation which our
extent and manifold resources demand, and in
itiate a goldeu era of prosperity, piety and happi
ness. Our star is now most brilliantly in the as
cendant ; our fondest hopes and anticipations are
on the e\;e of being realized. Let each of us put
our shoulder to the wheel of progress, and succor
and support by every .exertion the tirst move
which will give us a happy, peaceful, sub
s'ant ml .neatness.

Incidents of the Blockade. —The Washington !
correspondent of the New York Tribune writes
under date of the 19ih :
Commander Hickley, of the British ship Gladi- !
ator, bus sent a note to Commodore Strmgham,
which has been forwarded to the Navy Depart
ment, representing that the blockade is open at
the entrance ot Cape Fear River and Washington,
port of Beaufort, aud Ocracoke Inlet to PamJico
Sound, the coast of North Carolina. Mea
sures have been taken to calm the apprehensions
of her Majesty’s representative, and the ports to
which he calls attention will soon be sealed.
Commander J. W. Livingston, of the steamer
Penguin, who has been attempting to blockade
the mouths of Cape Fear river, forty miles cruise
apart, with an enemy at the Lighthouse, who in
dicates by flag or signal light at which port the
blockading vessel is, and whom he managed to
deceive by concealing his position and running at
night, has come up to Hampton Roads for coal.
He reports that on the 6th be took on board four
intelligent negroes, who pulled from shore in a
boa:. One, who said he had been the pilot of the
stpamtug L'nele Ben, on the river hearu her cap
tain say he would arm her, the steummer North'
Carolina, and another propeller, ail of which have
been seen near the fort, and capture the Penguin.
The negroes -blest stated that toere were two
privateer* ibere, Mariner and Gordon, at Beau
lort, which “white people call the beat place, as
there sno blockade there.” On the morning of
the lith, Commander Livingston chased a schr
on a reel near the Cape Fear Lightboase, distant
about tbree miles from the fort. She soon filled
with Water, the sea running high, and became a
wreck, both vessel and cargo. The neuro pilot
above mentioned, knew the vessel to be the Louisa
about 200 tons, which sailed, from Wilmington a
few weeks since.with lumber for the West Indies,
and was to have brought in return a load of
coffee.
Fir.HTiNG Across the Potomac.— body of
R. K. Royail, a member of Capt. Ball’s Chester
, field Cavalry, was brought to the city yesterday
’ lor interment. Young Royail (who was only 22
• years old, was killed Sunday last in a skirmish
carried on between some of our troops on this .-ide
’ and a body of the enemy on the other side of the
Potomac, near Leesburg. Os the number en
gaged we could not ascertain any particulars. He
was shot through the neck, the ball passing down
ward into the ngbt side. He died immediately.
; He was in the baule of the 21st, and behaved gal
lantly.
John W. Barr, of our city, a member of Shields’
Howitzers, wa.~ wounded in the leg in the same
engagement. No other casualties occurred on
our side.
Our men are of opinion that they killed some of
the enemy—they could not say how many. Os
course when the Northern account of this affair
appears, it will represent that an engagement
was fought between a small body of Federalists
and an immense number oi Confederate soldiers,
and tnat the latter fled precipitately alter tbe
killing and wounding ol fcity or mure of their
men.
W e see that a correspondent states that Gen.
Johnston is inclined to check this skirmishing
among tbe pickets, thinking that it does little
good and hazards the lives of valuable men to
j very little purpose.— itichmcmi IHfpatch, S7 tk.
