NEW CAVALRY REGIE?
I HAVE authority from the War Department ter
raise anew Regiment ot CAVALRY, of non
conscripts. This is the last opportunity that the
people will have to volunteer in this most popular
arm of tho service. All know theadvantag. s Cav
alry have over Infantry. The Exemption laws
will certainly bo repealed, the Conscript Act will
certainly be extended so as to include all between
the ages of 16 and 20, probably 65. Those bills
will bo passed very soon, and unless you volunteer
now you will bo enrolled as Conscripts. Think of
being conscribed and sent to companies where you
have no friends, no acquaintances. Organize your
own companies, olectyour own officers, and tender
them at once. A Bsuuty*bf SSO will be paid.

After robbing the store-room of (he
greater part of its provisions, an attempt
was made to burn the Presidential mau
sion in Kiehmoud, last Wednesday night.
The fire was happily discovered iu time.
The ordinary consumption of powder
iu the Confederacy is rated at 2,000 lbs.
per day, but such sieges as Vicksburg
and Charleston increase the amount to
10,000 lbs.
A fire destroyed considerable property
at tlie Winder hospital last Wednesday',
but injured no one. It was evidently
the work of an incendiary.
The Augusta powder mills under
charge of Col. Rains daily turn out 3,400
lbs. of powder.
Mr. Spence, of Liverpool, lias pub
lished a letter in the Times on the cotton
supply, in which he asks; “If, with a
bounteous harvest, the payment for this
year’s cotton lias brought ou a monetary
crisis, how shall we pay for next year’s
supply, which, at. present, prices, will
amount to no less than £00,000,000?
Nor is this all. The present price of
cotton averages £25 per bale above its
ordinary value, and our country stands
committed in a sum of more than £30,-
000,000, which tnny be swept away on
the cessation of hostilities, an event that
must occur some day. and may occur
without much warning. Huch a- loss,
unprecedented in the annals of com
merce, would have all th# proportions of
a national calamity. So long ns the war
lasts our unsound position will continue.
Iu case of peace, if the Southern supply
of cotton be thrown upon a market
already supplied from other sources, it
follows that a ruinous depression would
be the result, which would extend its
influence to manufactures, and affect
trade generally.”
Mr. Mcßae says; It is said that cot
ton may be purchased, at the present rate
of exchange cheaper in the Confederacy
with sterling than with the bonds of the
loan. Iu reply to this I have to slate
that it is now under the consideration of
the Government at Richmond to prohibit
altogether the exportation of cotton,
except such as is pledged by its own
obligations. I liave every reason to
believe that this necessary and -salutary
measure will be promptly adopted. The
total of such obligations other than those
of the seven per cent, cotton loan, does
not reach £2OO,IKK).
Promotions from the Ranks, —In
response to a resolution of tbe House of
Representatives, the President has irans
mitted lo that body a list ot persons in
the Confederate army who have been
specially noticed and promoted from he
ranks for gallantry in the field. Ihe
list embraces ninety, one of whom have
been promoted to the rank of Captain ;
eight to that of First Lieutenant, and
eighty one to that of Second Lientenant.

UnVELOI'MENTS IN RICHMOND.. You
have heard of tho fashionable tahleaiix
vioants here, (says a correspondent of the
Mubilo Register and Advertiser,) but
you have not. hoard thatthe livingstatucs
of young ladies had their feet naked and
chalked, lo imitate marble more closely.
Or, that other respectable young ladies
wore Swiss drosses, coming a little below
ihe knee, not only on tho stage, but in
the parlor, after the tableaux were over.
Nor tbat. one of the model artists repre
sented Correggio's Magdalene, who. as
your readers know, is depicted as lying
on- her stomach, with her face resting ou
her baud, reading a book which is sup
ported by a skull. In the pioture, the
arms and breasts of Magdalene are fully
exposed; iu the living artist, only the
arms wore naked, but the posture is about
as indelicate as a lady could assume in
public. You hnvc not heard of those
wouderful things in the Confederate ca
pital. 1i t they are facts, as lam assu
red on excellent authority. The same
informant tells me that at the masked
balls which have succeeded the model
artist exhibitions, young ladies iu shirts
are quite common, and one of them went
so far as to array herself in full male
costume; and not content with this, she
took such liberties with other young la
dies that, lo keep from being knocked
down by a gentleman, she had to remove
her mask and let fall her curls.
It grieves me to ssy it, but we arc in
danger of ro-cnaoting the license of the
French ltevoluiiou.
The Firm in ColusTbia.—The Colum
bia South Carolinian sayS:
In our hastily prepared estimate of
the damage done by the conflagration,
we find that the figures given to us are
somewhat below tbe true mark. Ac
cording to the latest information, the
amount of loss on cotton was about
$3,000,000. Os this, the amount cover
ed by insurance is, say, $050,000. The
loßs sustained iff the agencies of Mr. 11.
E. Nichols is about $400,000, which is
divided among some twenty companies,
the following being tho principal losers;
Southern, of Savannah ; Alabama, of
Montgomery; OldDoininion, of Virginia:
Merchants’, of Richmond ; Lynchburg
Hose and Fire; Danville, of Virginia;
Confederate, of Georgia; Eufaula, of
Alabama; James River, of Virginia;
Virginia Fire and Marine; Jefferson, of
Virginia; Central of Georgia; Great
Southern, of Georgia ; Home;
Petersburg, of Virginia. Os other loss
es sustained by Mr, Alexander in steam
engines, sugar mills, aud machinery
stored away, and by other individuals
who likewise had properly on deposit,
we have no intimation which enables us
to make more than a rough approximate.
Wc wait, therefore, until a careful esti
mate is completed by tho owners.

A Philosophic Darkey.
A newspaper correspondent from the
Cumberland river gives tho following
humorous uccouut of a colloquy with a
philosophic darkey, who had been pres
ent at the battlo of
Observing him -KSanting his shins
agoirffirthe chimney, 1 broke in upon
his profound meditations thus:
-‘Were you in the fight of Fort Dottel
sou ?”
“Had a little taste of it, sah.”
“Stood your ground, did you?”
“No, sah, l runs.”
“Run at tlie first fire, did you?”
“Yes, sah, aud would liab run sooner
had f kuowed it war cummin.”
“Why, that wasn’t very creditable to
your courage.”
“Oat aint iu my line, sah ; cookiu’sioy
perfeshun.”
“Well, but. have you no regard for ;
your reputation.?”
“Reputation is nuthiu to me by de
side of life. 1 '
“Do you consider yovr life worth more
than other people’s?”
“It’s worth more to me, sail.”
“Then you must value it highly ?
“A es, sah, 1 does—more dun all dis
world— riAore dan a million of dollars,
sah wfor what would dot be wuth to a
mam wid de bref oiit’n him ? Self-pre-
Serb at ion am de first law wid me, sah.”
“Rat why should you act upon a dif
ferent. rule from others?”
“Because different men sets different
values op da lives; mine is not in de
market, sah.”
“But if you lost it, you would have
the satisfaction of knowing you died for
your country.”
“What, satisfaction would dat be to me,
sah, when de power of fCeliu’ was
gone ?”
“Then patriotism and honor are noth
ing to you?”
“Nuffm whatever, sah ; I regard dem
as among de vanities.
“If our soldiers were like you, traitors
might have broken up the government
without, resistance.”
“Yes, sah, dere would hab been no
help for it. I wouldn’t pul my life in
de scale against any gubbernwent dat,
eber existed, for no gubberument could
replace de loss to me.”
“l)o you think any of your company
would have missed you if you had been
killed 7”
“May be not, sah. A dead white man
aint much to dese sogers, let alone a
dead nigger, but Pd a missed myself,
sah, and dat’s de pint wid me.”
Tiie Ladies oi New Orleans.—A
Confederate officer lately escaped from
New Orleans, says of the ladies: “Their
spirit is yet, unsubdued, and it is their
glory that they—the only foes that But
ler ever dared encounter—defeated the
Beast, and he und his minions have
never recovered from tho wounds of
stinging contempt which the women of
New Orleans inflicted on them, and un
der which they still writhe. The Yan
kees and their few adherents "are exiles
from good society. No one of them has
ever gained entrance into a decent fam
ily, except when he went officially to
insult a lady or steal something.”
Old aijm, once at an awful discount,
lias new become an object of universal
respect. Men wiio once shuddered at
the idea of becoming old, now look upon
a gray beard with religious veaeratiou.
They, who so long dreaded the down
bill of life, would now cheerfully barter
their vigorous prime for a gray beard, a
weak back, and pipestem legs. No
schoolboys ever slid down a snowy de
clivity with half the alacrity they would
slide down tlie winter side of life, if
they could. Alas, far them! Every dog
must have his day.
The Richmond Examiner learns that
Commissioner Ould recently visited the
enemy’s lines, and that the solicitation
of a renewal of tho exchange of prison
ers has been positively declined. Mr
• Ould is said to have had informal, but
unmistakable aseurances that Butler
would be retained in command, and his
recognition made the sine qua non of any
further negotiations
Artificial Limbs.— U. K. Marshall,
■t* the Richmond Enquirer, make* an el
oquent appeal to the people of the South
to supply maimed soldiers with artificial
limbs. The following will show his
wishes : .
1 said there were ten thousand sutt'er
ers who had lost their limbs in battles
recently. So think intelligent observers.
Artificial legs and hands are made so
perfect that the observer often fails to
deteot the loss endured or the loss sup
plied. But, these limbs cost large sum*
of money. A poor young soldier in the
city gave his little all—several hundred
dollars-—for a leg, and it was so imper
fect a piece of work that it was found
upon trial lo be useless—so leg and
money are both gone. Thousands have
no means to purchase with, while others
cannot obtain them for the want of the
infbrmalion necessary. This subjeot
demands the attention of the good peo
ple of the country at large. 1 propose,
then, that a “Sooiely,” a “Guild,” or
an “Association,” shall be organised in
ibis'city, composed of tbe distinguished
and the undistinguished, of all the Con
federate Stales, with a President, Vies
Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurer and
Executive Committee ; and, as a parent
or central organization, shall arrange
for similar organizations in all the Con
federate States. The association shall
raise funds, and have made or imported
such artificial limbs as may be needed
by those deprived of theirs, and pre
sented to them, not ns an aot. of oharily,
but conferred as an act of esteem and
gratitude—a nation’s gratitude and re
sped. Generous men are anxious now
to make large donations to the treasury.
To name the subjeot is the only speech
required to secure sufficient funds.
Si’KKCti from Stanton. —Stanton made
the following brief speech at one of Ihe
hospitals’in Washington on Christmas
day :
Soldiers: 1 hope that when the next
anniversary of the day you are now cel
ebrating oceurß, that this war will be
ended, aud you wiil have returned to
your homes and your firesides. When
you shall have so returned, you will be
considered as honored guests of the na
tion You have perilod your lives upon
the battle field, or you have suffered
from tbe ravages of disease incidental
to great, armies. But whether you have
been wounded or attacked by sickness,
you are>equally entitled to consideration
at the bauds of your country. If you
have been wounded in battle, or suffer
from sickness contracted in the service
of country, I will see that you have
a proper reward given you.
Soldiers : If we can end this rebellion
with tho extinction of slavery, will it not
be a great triumph? You will at the
end of this great rebellion, when making
a review of it, have the satisfaction of
knowing that you have aided the Gov
ernment of the United States in dis
charging the duties inoumbent on that
Government when it was in peril. And
further more, you will experience (he
you have materially aided
to make the country free. [Applause.]
