You will, therefore, give not'ce imm-diateiy to

ty, to such ratiroad J. pat in the State as tb -y
may ae.,ignr*V-, one half bushel of salt of tweitif*
five pounds for each soldier’s family so reported
in tbe county.
On account of the great norease in tile cost of

fuel, that tha bushel of fifty pounds at the works,

“lmst year 1 adopt. I the rule of deducting from
the hall bushel, toe wastage ftom the plane-of

that there was nine'; complaint 'hat the Courts,
in distributing, did not always sire each family

to lose the wastage-, sort deliver to each fan !y
the full haif bushel ox twenty-five pounds _ This
will secure equality. Ah most of the dripping
»Dd wastage will have occnri-,d before the salt
leaves the store, you will carefully weigh it when
shipped to each county, oo that you can detect

II The exemptions allowed by the Governor’s
Viroel&matioDjincmde only ministers of the gespei,
justices of the inferior court, telegraphic ops ra

physical disability, which mnßt be so obvious to
the officer conducting the draft ag not to admit
of doubt, or the fact be oertiiied by a competent
physician, of unfitness or as much as two wee*s
active duty at one time. Certificates of discharge
i om Confederate service will no of themselves

gaged in the manufacture of iron, or of city iiro
men, will ba mustered iulo Confederate service,
but not estimated in the quotes of tho counties

services oi such may be restricted in their muster
roll;) to the counties where locatjd, which will be
observed as the cour,tract o,* service. Companies
accepted by the Secretary of War and detailed
for the protection of Powder Mills, where the
companies have been organized from the coun

The army correspondent of the Atlanta Appeal
writes from near Winche&tsr, July 28d, that Gen.
Join s, formerly stationed in the southwestern de
parties .’, of Virginia, has been ordered hero.—
The sup, position now ia that he will return to his
original post, as il seems our lines wili be con
tracted, amt cousoquently reinforcements will not
be needed here.
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. B. W. gousof heavy burden, wide
tires and great big homos, all marked U. H., are
ali we have up hero now. 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.
Brigadier Genera! Kemper, we also learn, is

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

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.

Use of theiievoluuoauiy War ia goug the rounds
Ihe numuur of battlea, from Lexington, in 1776
to Eutnw Springs, in 17»1, was twenty-three, and
toe loss on both sides 18,000. This in seven
yeurt,! This does not equal by half the loss in a
aingio battle of the present war. As many men
fall in action now as were killed in the battle of
Cowpens, and w« call it a skirmish; mote men
are elaiu than in the bloodiest battle of that
period, and it is termed merely a recon noisanee.
By such contrasts as these is the fnghtfn 1 magni
tude of this our Struggle for independence made
painfully apparent to every miad. The giants
are in combat now.
