Some of the fruits of the Pennsylvania cam paign cau be seen daily. I saw no less than two thousand head of the finest lot of beef that ever walked tae pike. Even tne sofoiers have from one lo three pairs of shoes or bools attached to their knufsaks. Occasionally you meet aa unfor tunate fellow who is nearly barefooted, bat that is attributed t j his own stupidity. Train after train did we meet, heavily loaded with Enfield ri fles.fsabres, and quite a number oi line Parrott end Napoleon guns, some spiked, others with their muzzics slighlly defaced, all bearing the imprint of G.

It is evident that something was gained by the invasion of Mary lacd und Pennsylvania, bssidts it gave them a slight teuch oi the horrors of war. Lee’s army is now on the eastern side of the mountains, and prepared to meet the enemy whenever he shall see nt to offer battle. The enemy have possession of all the gaps in tha Blue Ridge exc-e t Thornton’s whioh leads from Sperry viile to Luray. They will doubtless * soon have possession ol tots also. A strong loree under liUwOuett, will remain iu the vicinity of Winchester, to be increased by subsequent ad ditions, which will, it ia believed, effectually pre vent the enemy lrom making any important demonstrations no this side of Winchester, ir. the valley. Persons who arrived from Culpeper Court House on the 28ib, announce the arri al at that pinc3 and Lieut. Gen. Kwei! with the advance of his corpe. It was reported that Gen. Lougatr et’s corns had been forwarded towards Fredericks burg tc engage the tims aud attention of Ssdg wick, who wan reported an route lor that city. The fight whioh occurred on the 23d, at Ma nassas Gap, is said to have boen very severe. The foicea engege'i on our part composed Wright’s brigade. The enemy was severely punished on tho oC'.ac.i n, and a considerable number of his prisoners taken, as stated heretofore. General Meade’s army, or several corps of it, has appeared ia Fauquier, and a refugee from that section, dftseribu.g their appearance, says “ t ey covered the whol > face of the earth in that region, spread out like an enormous ringworm.” T'ac two armies were approximating gradually and surely, and it was tha opinion cf several offi cers, who pretended to know that a great pitched battle was inevitable a week or fortnight hence at the farthest. The shock will ba terrific when it comes, but anything like equal ground, Meade and his horde will be driven to the Potomac. Concerning our wounded officers, wa learn that a sou of Brigadier General Armstead, reported iiiortaiiy wounded at Gettysburg, is in receipt of a letter from the Ganerai, conveying the gratify ing intelligence that he is recovering.

On account of to obtain our usual siz3 paper, we are again compelled to priut our sheet on a smaller size. We hope hereafter to be able to givo our readeis as large a paper as for_ inerly. Tlie Crtilse of tbe Florbli. We have had the pleasure of an interview with Win. Bassell, one of the crew of the war steamer Florida, who has kindly furnished us with the subjoined complete list of tho prizes taken by that vessel during her present cruise. This list has never before been published entire, although no tices of the several captures have appeared from time to time in the N rribein and Southern pre»3 The s-ory of her achievements reads like a ro mance, and will soma day engage the pen of another Cooper or Capt. Marryatt. The Florida, or Oreto, sailed from Mobile on the 16th cay of January lust, at which port she shipped the larger poriiou oi her crew, who are mainly English and Irish. She has since added a number lrom tho crews of captured vesseis. Baaaoll himself is a Prussian, and a inau ol more than ordinary intelligence. Hi represents the Florida’s crew cs picked men, the dieciplme on board perlect, and indeed severe, hut no more so than is necessary for a man-of-war; the officers universally esteemed. The service is arduous in many respects, and rendered doubly so by the and sadvantages which they suffer from (he anoma lous position of the Confederate navy, i*>.d the privileges from which they are debarred. When coaling from a prize the labor is continuous until the bunkers are tilled, aud sometimes occupies several dayr and nights without intermission. Applications for berths by the crews of pviz >s are numerous, but by uo me*ns always successful. Selections from among them are carefully made. Such a berth is no sinecure, but each ia a lure that would tempt the least avaricious There is a s.Jendid fortune for every one, and it comes in a few short months. It is estimated that eachordi daTy seaman’s shave of prize money amounts to upwards of $60,000 in hard cash—all this in six months 1 The offioers must have amassed princely fortunes. Had they had the privilege of taking their prizes into port for sale, caoh man would now be almost a millionaire. Here is tho Florida's record. The estimated total value of prizes is $6,000,000. This is exclu sive of specie obtained aboard, whioh iu ene case, the Ben Hoxie, amounted to $500,000. Many of the prizes are rich Chine, East India and Califor nia ships: January 19, brig Estelle, Boston, SIBB,OOO January 22, brig Windward, Portland, $50,000. January 22, brig Corie Ann, Philadelphia, $30,000. February 12, ship Jacob Bill, N. York, $2,000,000 March 6, ship Star of Peace, Boston, $640,000. March 13, schooner Aldebanon, N, York, $40,000. March 28, bark Lapwing, Boston, $60,000. March 80, bark M. J. Ooloord, New York, $60,000. April 13, ship Kate Dyer, Hamburg, $40,000. April 17, Commonwealth, New York, $400,000. April 23, bark Henrietta, Baltimore, $50,0u0. April 24, ship Oricdia, New \ r ork, $750,000. May 6, brig Clarence, Baltimore, $50,000 May 18, ship Crown Poiot, New York, SBOO,OOO. June 6, ship Red Gauntlet, Boston, $400,000 | June 14, ship Southern Cross, New York, $86,000. June 16, ship B. F. Hoxie, California, $600,000 June 27, schr. V. U. Hill, Province Town, SIO,OOO. July 7, ship Sunritie, New York, $60,000. July 8, brig W. B. Nath, New York. July 8, schooner Rienzi, Province Town. These vessels are exclusive of the twenty seven prizes made by lJeut, Rted, of tbeTacony who was detachid from the Florida, and whioh of course must be p’aord lo her account. The two last named, the Naan and Rienzi, were destroyed under the very nose of a U. 8. war vessel, whioh was sent out to capture tho Florida. This vessel was the Ericsson, carrying lo guns and 540 men. The Florida has an equal armament, but a crew of only 126 men. The Florida was sailing undsr the British flag when the Ericsson made ohase. Being ihort of coal, she could not make steam enough to run away, und thereupon hauled down the red cross of Bt. George, hoisted the “stars and bars,” and gove tbe Yankee a broadside. This was more Ilian tbe Eriosaan could eland, ard she immediately showed her stern and a straight wakp, while the Florida at once bore away for the two vesseis aforesaid and captured them while the Ericsson was yet in sight. Mr. Bassell states that Captain Hemmes, late of the Alabama, has taken command of the “Missis sippi,” anew und formidable craft, currying 24 guns—not the Georgia, us has been stated. With this four-in-hand- the Florida, Alabama, Geor gia, and Mississippi—the Confederate Neptune will drive a fast team among the merchant craft of the Yankees. Indiboebbt Lbttbr Writibs.— We notice that some of the correspondents cf our newspapers, who fire making trips through theSoutb, are very cureful to describe all the Government works, manufacturing establishments, maehiie shops, foundries, &o , in pieces they visit. Augusta in variably gets hersbara of these notices. The immense value to the Confederacy of the works here are dwelt upon, and their worth sometimes ii ag’.ified into huge proportions. - This is aii wrong. These ** wouid-ba somebod ies” are a great nuisance—nay, more ; they are doiug great damage to the cause by giving the Federal* just the information they wish to obtain. They point out to them the very points where these raiders can do us tbe most harm. We ob je«t to any such information being published.— Persous who write such letters as we have spoken of ought to be arrested aB public enemies. The paper* that publish them ought to be severely een surod at first; and if that does inot change their course, measures should be adopted that will.— We are no advocates of illegal foree, but those In j our midst who are continually giving the Feder- I a!s particulars in regard to matters they wish to learn about are our worst enemies. It is no nee to pursue a kid glove policy with them. Bet citizens of every place in which Government worts, and other works valuable to the Confed eracy are located, organize as completely as pos sible, and bs ready for Federal raiders at a min ute’s warning. They may rest assured that when raids are made, that they will be made against places that are of the most importance to ns. It is one great object of tha enemy to do ns all the damage they can ; and they will do so, unless we take the proper and only method to prevent them That is-be ready to welcome them with a warm reception. SoMkTHixG Up,—We hare been informed that ali tbe offieers and men be,ongiog to Bragg’s army, who are now absent on furloughs, have been ordered to return at onci—whether their ftariongps nave expired or not. This looks as if there were to be some movements made by our army in Tennessee. A Good Way to Cubk them or thrie Lov* for TEC Negro.-It is siated tbat the eurgeons in ebarg! of the Yankee wounded at Charleston are mixing tho whites and blacks together iu the same hospital. The whites objected to the asso ciation ; but the doctors insist that they shall carry into practice (he articks of tbeir faith, by having, if pjaeible, a negro neighbor in every other bed. We thick that a week of good hot scorching weather will care ail the Federal sol* diers who are lying next to their negro brethren of their great love for them. I: it do- s not, they must be the posseisors ts vcry.s.r, eg stomachs IV s once knew a r&hid Abolitioaist-wlio was in favor of amalgamation, aud of having negroes 3Ct at tbe same tables with whites—very effectual. Iy cured ot bis absurd and insane notions by be ing competed to set side of a great sot wench on u ewelleiiug, sweating summer day, only one m?al. Too remedy w* B u strong one, but be got h s eyes opened—through his nnsel organ. We hope our Charleston surgeons are pursuing the course it is reported they are. Full Tooktiirr —Never was there a time in our history when unanimity waj so much needed as now. The people should ba of one mind, of one will, of one purpose. Laying aside ail sectional, 3*cT.l aud political differences—ignoring ail pre judices aud feuds and wruughngs—we must, aa one man, don the harness for the were b.. loro ug. Wc must whip this tight, and the way to do it is ’o pull together. Nobody will deny that tin task is no light ons-nc- holid..y business—but with a fixed determination to wla, that there shall be uo such word as fail in our vocabulary, the day will be ours. Oae man working for dear life in the cause, while hia neighbor hangs back aud does notiiiog, will never do, Full together, men i puil steady, even and true. Move forward shonl d«r to shoulder, never faltering, never wavering. With this singleness of purpose and the zeal und energy which a just cause aiweys inspires, I’eace may shed her benign influence over our country soonei than wo think. Then a “long pull, a strong pull, and a poll altogether,” and the vic tory ia won ! Tub Feeling in New York City.—The leading New York papers th nk the riot feeling in that city is only smothered, not quenched; and is lia ble to break out again at any moment. We trust that their wornt fears in the matter will be re alized. No true Southerner will mourn much if the entire city is laid in a thee, and tboueands— yes, tens of thousands of her citizens slain The prominent iron of New York ci!y could have pre vented tho war at the beginning, if they saw fit so to do. But no! ou the contrary*, they hound* ed on Lincoln and his Abolition hordes for the sake of making money oat oi iho war. Now it would be only a just and merited punishment if thtir ill-gotten gains ware swept from their grasp, and .'hey themselves fell victim.-: to the cruel and bloody passions they have ex-ited, and which they hare endeavored to make use of to destroy aau lay was to the Houth. No wonder that the cowards arc afraid of tbat fate they richly deservej Their guilty consciences are beginning to trouble them a tittle—may tha rioters troubh many a ona cf them still more. No Mon* Entrenchments.— There is one re markable fact of this war—it is this: In every in sianco where we have rat down and entrenched and fortified ourselves, wa have been compelled to buirender cr evacuate tho places. Take for example lion ling Green, Donelson, Columbus, Corinth, Island Ten, and Tullabom 1 1 This shculd be sufficient so teach ua that it is tbe worst policy we can pursue to keep an army lying idle behind entrenchments, awaiting the attack of the enemy. Our bravo men have enlisted to fight net to dig. The last occupation is one our Federal, opponents delight in—hereafter let them be tun only 01103 woo pursue it. Only give our man a chance at their oppressors on the open field, and they will shew, as they have in limes past, that they need no loitifications. 'i in: Planters or South Western Gkoruia to “* deprived of iukir excuse fob plant.no Cot- TON.-Gcn. Bragg ban sent a largo number of wagons into Southwestern Georgia to haul the immense quantity of corn stored in that section to railroad depots, for the use of his army. This will remove a difficulty that has.long existed, and relieve the planters of their great surplus ot corn. It will also take away frouitho unpatriotic ones the exouse they Lava long madu uua of for planting laige cotton crops—“ that they cannot get their coin to market.” This class of men, however, w.li probably invent come new excuse for the courao pursued by them. When a person is a trador at heart, there i3 no use of endeavoring to make a patriot of him. Unless he sees that it is for bit! interest to 3crve his country, he will re main a traitor, do what jou may—-unless you in flict upon him the punishment all traitors de serve. That, th sev re, generally proves a Very effectual remedy in every case where ap plied. Position of Affaibs in Mississippi.— Johnston, by retreating before the Federal forces in Missis sippi, has pursued a very wise and judicious pol icy. As it is, tbs Federal General can only get water and supplies with much difficulty. Things ure beginning to look cheering ia the west. Tho Federals oaunot do us much more daaiagt it* tha. eecxion, let them do whni they will. In a little while tho latge number of prisoners whioh wc have lost will be txchauged, and the army of Johnston will then be s.veiled to a number gain cunt to take tha offensive and push the seat of war still further ir.m us uu-d thus re-oocupy territory which wo may have to yield tempora rily. Johnston is oao of cur most able and straddle Generals, and under Lis shrewd man ag.mxsas matters will soon ail bj right iu Missis sippi and the weßt. We have no fears on the su jsot, and wc think no odo bus rood grounds tor any. J.OSSKS IN THS fIKST Bn VOLUTION XND IN TUB Prb-. sent Wah.
