GREAT ATTRACTION
In the Southern Trade!
WILLIAM SMITH, Watch- CgE _
maker, No. 81 Broad street,
bog* to inform the respected in- lr /
habitants of Columbu* and its ly
vicinity that he ha* relinquished
for the future the sale of new* -
Watches, and intend* to give his whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches are such delicate
machines that if in fixing them the inind is at all
abstracted from the object in view it is very un
certain about them being properly done, and if
you employ a workman to do them for you it Js
still as uncertain—for where you got one done
properly and to your satisfaction you are likely
to find three not fit to put into a customer’s
pocket; and Mr. S. does not hesitate to say there
is no one so likely to do them justice as the
master that knows his trade, and whose whole
and sole interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. 8. has a good stock of well-selected Watches
by him, and which he will dispose of at a great
redaction, providing too much time is not taken
up the sale, otherwise they will be sent to public
auction. The unprecedented success of his pre
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing the same principle.

From Yesterday's Noon Edition.
The Vote of MUslssljijil.
A dispatch from Jackson, to the Mobile
Tribune, says the Constitution of the
Confederate States was ratified by the
Mississippi Convention by a vote of 78
ayes iu favor, to 7 nays agniust it.
The Montgomery Mail notices the arri
val iu that city of Colonel J. W. Echols,
Commissary of the State of Alabama, lie
has been to the West and Northwest after
supplies for the army of that State, and
made provision for supplies for twelve
months, which are in Mobile and New
Orleans.
About 2UO troops from North Alabama
mid Mississippi arrived at Mobile ou (lie
28th. They are the Madison Kitlos, tOO
men ; two companies from Lowndes Cos.,
Miss., Kit) men. About 400 more from
Mississippi were expeottd to arrive the
next morning, by railroad. Their desti
nation is not stated.
Col. W. B. gayles.
The Mobile Tribune notioes the arilvai
in that city of Col. W. B Sayles, of Rhode
Island, who originated the Providence
Daily Post. The Tribuno learns that
Mr. Baylcs, seeing that all his effortß to
preserve the rights of the Union by the
maintenance of the rights of all the States
have proved futile, proposes to take up
his residence in the South at no distant
day.
Tike Montgomery and Union Springs
llallroad.
The work on this itailroad, says the
Montgomery Advertiser, is progressing
finely. We understand that, through the
energy and perseverance of the Presi
dent, Capt. Seales, and the Chief Engi
neer, Mr. Grey, the track has been laid
for five miles from this point, and ar
rangements are being made to procure
iron and other necessary material, to has
ten its completion between tho terminuses
at an early a day as it is possible for
such work to be done.
Garrison of Fort Morgan.
The Mobile Register states that thir
teen companies, in all 1072 men, consti.
tute the garrison at Fort Morgan. It is
much larger than necessary, and it is
quite likely some may be sent to Florida.
There are
Columbiads now mounted and command
ing the channel and outer bar, says the
Register, and to this battery the three
large guns daily expected will be added.
These new and heavy guns are additional
to the regular armament of the Fort. —
Fort Morgan is now a most powerful post,
and we doubt the ability of any force,
land or naval, to take it.
Col. W. J. Hardee is Commander.
From Pensacola.
Tho Warrington correspondent of the
Pensacola Observor says the Alabama
Regiment has been transferred to the
Confederate States, by Gen. Clemons;
Col. Clayton has been re-elected Colonel;
Williams, Lieut. Colonel; Steadman, Ma
jor.
A man was shot at the redoubt on the
uight of the 27th in attempting to pass the
sentry without the countersign. He died
soon afterwards. No blame is attached
to the sentry, who only discharged his
duty. The deceased was a member of
the “lied Eagles,” Capt. 15. L. Posey.
The steamer Kate Dale arrived on the
28th from Mobile, with largo quantities
of provisions, five hundred stands of arms
and two hundred thousand ball cartridges
from Mt. Vernon Arsenal.
Tile Troops In Texan.
A dispatch to tho New York Tribuno,
from Washington, the 28th, says “orders
were sent from there ten days previous
to the officers in Texas to retain a por
tion of the dispersed troopß there, subject
to the order of Gov. Houston, in repress
ing any attempt to overthrow the State
authority. Other orders were also sent
to officers in remote parts of the State, to
concentrate at a given point as promptly
as possible, for the purpose of 00-opera
ting in this movement. If he has been
deposed, as reported, and made no resist
ance, these troops can be of no service,
since they were detailed fora special pur
pose, and can be employed for no other.
If Gov. Houston still asserts his right, as
the legal executive, aud has appealed to
the people to sustain him against an or
ganized usurpation, there can be no doubt
of the right of the President to furnish
this aid, in order to maintain his author
ity. The next intelligence from that
quarter is looked for with great interest.”
Removal of Slaves from Virginia
The Richmond Examiner is disturbed
by the removal of slave property from
the Old Dominion. “There is.” says
that journal, “a panic among the slave
owners of Virginia that threatens injury
to the whole Southern cause, and the di
rest disaster to this State in particular.
The proceedings of the Virginia Conven
tion are producing a general stampede
among the proprietors of negroes. They
are moving their slaves in very large
numbers to the soil of the Southern Con
federacy, where they command, now that
capital has learned the separation to be
a finality, and that the new Government
is a fixed fact, prices nearly a* high as
they did there, and here, two years ago.
If the current continues long as it has set
in, in twelve months so few slaves will
remain in Virginia that the Southern in
terest here will remain in a hopeless and
impotent minority.”
* Hml tha Motiiaotnery Melt
'The Military Organisations of the
Confederate State*.
Much misapprehension exists in the
public mind, iu regard to the military
organizations established by tho Congress,
for the protection of tho Confederate
States. We observe that cvcti the New
Orlaaus Delta has fallen into a popular
error—that of supposing that State troops
are, or may be, incorporated into the
Regular Army of the Confederacy; it
spoke, some days ago, of the Zoua’ve bat
talion of Louisiana, as having been thus
inc. rporated. As we proceed, we shall
show that this is not and cannot be the
case.
•Ou making some euquiriosiu the proper
quarters, we ascertain that two distinct
armies have been provided for, by the acts
of the Congress. They have no connec
tion with each other ; the mode of officer
ing them is essentially different ; and
their terms of service are dissimilar.
The first of these armies is what is
called the “Provisional Army.” It is
this, to which the Zouave Battalion and
all other volunteer corps, now iu the ser
vice of tho Confederate States, belong.
It was raised by the Congress, to meet
the pressiug exigencies upon us ; and will
be disbanded when tho emergency shall
huvo ceased, which called it into exist
ence. It is composed of such “companies,
battalions and regiments,” as bavo been,
(or may be.) turned over to the Confed
eracy, by the several States, from their
several armies, or corps of volunteers,
with the consent of the troops transferred
The minimum term of service is one year
A rule of the War Department requires
these troops to be received only from the
several State Executives ; they, of course,
having previously secured ihe assent of
the organizations transferred. Those
troops retain the organizations with which
they enter tho Provisional Army ; “com
panies, battalions and regiments” remain
ing such and retaining their officers. But
tho President has the right, by law, to
appoint certain Field Officers for this
“Provisional Army”—a right which he
has exercised, in making Brigadiers
thereof, of Cols. Bragg and Beauregard,
and appointing Col. Hardee, Collonei of
its First llegimont.
Many “crack” Volunteer companies,
not only from the Confederate States,
but also from the Border States, have
sought, independently, to be incorporated
into this “Provisional Army hut the
rule is inflexible, and unless they are of
fered by someone of the Governors of
tho Confederate States, upon a requisi
tion from the requisition from the War
Deportment, they are not received. Practi
cally, the “Provisional Army” is about
full; the patriotism of the people was
was fully up to the mark of the needs of
tho country.
Memorandum, that in contemplation of
law Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons of the
Volunteer and State Army troops, turned
over to the Confederacy, to mako part of
the “Provisional Army,” are not “offi
cers and they are therefore not retained.
The deficiency is supplied by appointing
(temporarily,) acting Assistant Surgeons,
for such troops.
Memorandum, also, that the single slight
exception to the rule, that the component
organizations of tho “Provisional Army,”
derived as aforesaid, from the several
States, remain as when mustered into the
service of the Confederate States— is, that
independent, or isolated, companies will
be consolidated into battalions or regi
mentg. This, of course, is indispensable.
Another point about the “Provisional
Army its Surgeons ands Assistant Sur
geons are only temporary appointees,
acting as such, while the service mag require
them.
The Regular Army of the Confederacy
is entirely distinct from tho “Provision
al.” It is not yet organized. The offioers
of only two Regiments have yet been ap
pointed : soon, the officers of four other
Regiments will be appointed. The organ
ization is very similar to that of tho Uni
ted Stales Army.
As soon as appointed, many of the offi
cers of the Regular Army will be ordered
to the Recruiting Service. And it is in
this way only, that the Regular Army will
be raised. As yet, it does not contain a
single non-commissioned offioer orprivato,
while the Provisional Army has thousands
of men in the field.
The Regular Army will begin to take
form and substance, probably, within six
months.
Officers resigned, on account of seces
sion, from the Army of the United States,
receive appointments, as of course, in the
Regular Army. Civilians are eligible;
but the former are certainly provided.
Applications, by civilians, for positions
as Surgeous and Assistant Surgeons, in
the Regular Army, need now hardly be
made, with expectations of success.—
There is only a limited number of appoint
mints to Jill; and these, necessarily, will
be given to resignod Surgeons and As
sistants from the Army of the United
States.
The Engineer Corps is, we learn, most
inaccessible to civilians; probably, be
cause there are accomplished officers (re
sigued from the U. S. Army,) to fill tho
positions. We doubt—without be'mg
able to state positively—whether any
civilian, whatever his attainments, will
be received into the Engineers. Posi
tion, for civilians, is next most difficult of
attainment, in the Artillery.
We believe that we have corrected
above, a score, or more of popular errors,
in regard to our military organizations.
Those who feel special interest in the
subject will, of course, notice the einpba
sos of the foregoing. Doing so may save
a good deal of trouble, as we feel confi
dent that our statements are accurate.
End of the Yelverton Case.—VerUlet
In Favor of the i-atlj'.
The remarkable trial of the Yelverton
marriage suit has terminated iu Dublin,
before the Court of Common Pleas. It
is a cause brought to establish the vali
dity of a secret marriage, celebrated by
a Catholic priest in Ireland betv. een the
Hon. Major Wm. Charles Y'elverton, of
the British Army, heir to the Avoumore
peerage, and Miss Teresa Longwortb,
who was one of the French Sisters of
Charity in the Crimea. In consequence
of a disgraceful law, making it a penal
offence in Ireland fora Catholic priest to
perform a marriage ceremony between a
Catholic and Protectant, unless first cele
brated by a Protestant minister, tho hue
band, whose family are Protestant, aud
whose own religious convictions sit loose
upon him, treated the marriage as a sham,
deserted his wife, and contracted another
marriage with a wealthy widow. The
trial now had baa resulted in a verdict
that his firßt marriage was valid. Miss
Longworth is, therefore the Hon. Mrs.
Yelverton, and her husband stands in the
power of the criminal law as a bigamist.
Hon. Edmund Ruffin, recently of \ ir
ginia, but now of the Confederate States,
arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina, on
tne 28th, on hie way to South Carolina.
