The above is evidently a mistake, if

the Mobile papers, with those of Missis
sippi, have yet ceased to exist. The Mo

until captured or evacuated. Ia that
case, Mississippi and Alabama arc both

“Cantin,” the Augusta correspondent
of the Macon Confederacy, in his last
letter to that paper, dated 9th, saj s:
The latest Liverpool papers state that
large placards, beautifully illuminated,
posted over that city lately, headed
CHARLESTON HAS FALLEN! BABY"-.
LON IS FALLEN !! and followed by the
18th chapter of Revelations, which says:
“I'saw another angel come down from
heaven, having great power, and the earth
was lighted with his glory : and he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying:
Babylon the great is fallen and is become
the habitation of devils and the hold of ev
ery foul spirit, and a cage of every un
clean and hateful bird.”
This is rather a severe sarcasm on the
Yankees, bat the balance of the chapter
as it follows, is decidedly a hard rap on
the knuckles of blockade runners and
speculators generally, iucluding a very
large number of money.loving and un
patriotic secesh.
Liverpool is a great cotton mart, and
it ispjesumable it lias its Yankee emis
saries and Southern age"*o. *“°
earnestly engaged iu furthering the
utmost wishes of their employers. The
placards may be applied to either Bide,
and ara as non-committal as the con
temptiable English nation, in all its
selfish policy during the past years of
our destructive revolution.
From a returned exchanged officer, of
high rank, brave and gallant precedents,
and excellent name, 1 learn an item that
has never heretofore been published.
He tells me that the Yankees have a
museum of anatomical specimens, the
accumulations of this war, which repre
sent every Confederate officer of grade
and rank who has been operated upon
by the Yankee surgeon3 since the war
began. Ilis left arm iB and kept
in ajar in themu3eum in l’Uiladelphia as
a trophy and mark of his own misfortune.
The specimens arc carefully preserved,
like the savage Indian preserves the
sealpß of his victims, as trophies.
I must not close without remarking,
that it is very apparent to me that
there is a class ot people iu this city
which represent the worst enemies we
have in the Confederacy. I refer to peo
ple who have so little sense and patriot
ism as to exhibit a jubilant and gratified
spirit whenever tho Yankees gain any
advantage*, and who have long face3 and
utter doubtful remarks to dishearten us
whenever our troops gain victories.
These men are our enemies, and should
be treated as such. Their cowardly
hearts know no patriotism. They are
the accursed excrescenoes, who should
be placed in the front rank and be
forest to die the death they so richly
deserve--death at the hands of their
friends ana o ur enemies.

in the doublo capacity of a negotiator
and trader with the enemy. The man
so ungrateful as to make such assertions
in opposition io those of his benefactor,
who provides him a “bomb-proof,” and
alforus him such facilities to trade, and
so reckless aa to record them in op
position to the counter statements cf a
gentleman of the exalted character cf

and 1 tkinir this expose will convince
your readers that he is inclined to bo
rather too swift a witness in his own case,
thus damaging it.

I'hoiso secxjuminea with my char&clor will
be slow to believe that I ever tamely
submitted to dettfinciation from any
man.
One word as to the character of those
who were my associates in this affair.
Col. Lamar speaks of them as a “mob”
and a “crew.” All of them aro honora
ble and patriotic men—some of them
occupying the highest social, politial
and religious poaiiions in the county,
whose good names cannot bo tarnished
by such a men as he is; and none
of the party would suffer by a comparison
cf thoir characlers wilh hts. It i3 an
outrage that such men should be defam
ed aud villilied for but doing their duty ;
and the man who does it should not com
plain if he is denounced for such con
duct.
Colonel Lamar contradicts my asser
tion that Mr. Ayres did not claim the
cotton nor proclaim his authority from
General Cobb to ship it. la writing to
Ocn. Cobb 1 had in ray mind my first
interview with Mr Ayres, iu which his
couvertatioa certainly sustained my
statement. Upon reflection, and afier
conversation with others who heard Mr.
Ayre3 talk afterwards. I ata inclined
to believe he did afterwards make asser
tions just tno opposite of his first to me.
While on the subject of Mr. Ayres, I
as recorded in Gen. Cobb’s letter to me,
that if permicsion had been given ub
hereto ship cotton, (he boat would have
been permitted to pass, is and can be
proven to fie incorrect.
His statement that I proposed io him
to ship cotton on his boat is untrue.
That a propasition wa* made to mo to
ship cotton aud witdraw my opposition,
he admits, or rather, that Mr. Ayers of
fered to permit me to take fiftrt of his
cotton already cn board With this ad
mission on his part, fils, declaration that
“if Capt. McDuffie means to insinuate
that I offered him the opportunity to ship
cotton he simply asserts a falsehood,” is
a cheap way of playing tho bully, aud
his expression of opinion that such a
proposition would have been accepted by
me, is perhaps his honest opinion ofmeu
as judged by himself —tested by his own
personal statuiard of rectitude and
honor.
For the purpose of developing the plans
of Col. Lamar and party, alter consulta
tion with my friends, uud with their full
knowledge aud approval of my plan and
purposes, 1 remarked in the hearing of
some of the party, that if such trading
was permitted and carried on, it was Lara
that others should have all the benefits,
while we had none; and that if we could
share the privilege there would be less
ground for complaint. My remark had
the desired effect—drew forth their prop
ositions and developed their plans.—
These propositions were immediately
made known to several gentlemen, who
can testify to these facts, and were held
under consideration ju3t long enough to
get plenty of men tegethor to stop the
boat effectually.
Colonel Lamar, in commenting on my
statement to General Cobb, that he was
offered the boat to take him to Doctor
town, orreondition not to take the cotton
to trade to the Yankee?, says, “the re
verses is true",’’ and gives as a reason
for thi» declaration, the foot that he of*
sered his pivdge tiiat the cotton should
return wuh me hoar, and that Mr. Ayres
offered a large bond to tho Lame effect.
I The fact that he made the pledge does not
prove what he thinks it does ; but, that
I couVi place no reliance on his pledge.
He was a reckless violator of law under
the old Government —notorious for his
connection as an African slave trader,
with the “Wanderer” affair; then, ac
cording to common repart, committing
an oilenso denounce J by the laws tl Wl

The “iwWfl. qjggaNP—that is Ihe cra
ven -hearled.su of Charleston*
have held a moeiing. Their spinal col
umn was 100 weak lor further endurance
and accordingly they waited. This
meeting was hold at Eton Presbyterian
Church, on the 21st of March. A com
mittee was appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the sentiments of the peo
ple, viz: John Bonan, A. Foster Farrow,
Joseph Quash, John Steadman, Sam
Dickson, Archibald Wiggs and Peter
Willis, who reported tho following :
Ist. Resolved, That by tho timely ar
rival of tho United Slates authorities in
the'eity of Charleston on the 18th cf Feb
ruary, 18C5, our city was saved from a
vast conflagration, onr houses from de
vastation aud our persona from those in
dignities that (hey would have been sub
ject to.
2d. That our thanks arc due and arc
hereby tendered to the dialiict comman
der, Brigadier General Haleb, and
through him to the officers and soldiers
under him, for (be protection they havo
so readily and impariiaiiy bestowed since
-‘--—'""""‘Aiou ofihe city.

OC?o tlvieni— *Vr ’i - .:j .1
wmch tie oared for ana administered to
the wanls of our people at Georgetown,
S. C., and that ha bo assured that, for
tho same he Ehail bo over held in gvateful
rcmeiaberancc by us.
4th. That to his Excellency Abraham
Lincoln, the President of the United
States, wo return our sincere thanks and
never dying gratitude for tho noble and
patriotic manner in which he promul
gated the doctrines of Republicanism,
and for the consistency in not only pro
mulgating, but invariably contemning
his action thereto, and we shall ever be
pleased to acknowledge and hail him as
the champion of the rights of freemen.
sth. That copies of these resolutions
bo forwarded to Brig. Gen. Hatch, Ad
miral Dihlgreu and ibe President, of the
United Staieß.
All of tho above smacks strongly of the
nigger, aud we suppose it was only the
poor blocks who kissed the dust.
Commenting on tho appcaraiieo of
King street, the Courier says:
King street beging to assume its old
lively aspect. On each side of the way,
from morning till night, there is a con
tinual moving throng. The merchants
and traders supm to bo doing a good
business whiofi speakH well for the fu
ture prosperity of the city. It m re
markable how great a change has been
plTonl Pfl in ( lw> ol»«v»»A cyvn/in Vi F L «*/v wAolrn
When the Union forces entered the city
King staoet was deserted and desolate,
but now it is filled with activity and life.
Eight thousand bales of cotton have
been discovered secreted in the city, by
the Yankees.
Gen. Hatch has been on a tour of ins
epection of Georgetown, and reports all
.quiet iu that department
- Chas 11. -Graham's corps of artists have
arrived from Yankee land and opened at
the Military Hall.
Concerning the disappearance of coin
the Courier remarks:
Gold and silver coin, which seemed to
bo the principal circulating medium at
the time the Union forces entered Charles
ton, has made way iu a great measure
to tho National currency. At stores
vhere they formerly took in a oonsiderabl
amount ot coin, they now scarcely see
any of it. For the past two weeks,
holdels of the metal have been sailing
it for greenbacks, thus displaying their
sagacity. The premium on gold in New
York on the-Ist was only 03 per cent,
and we have every resaou to suspect that
to-day it is much ower. The people
here as atthe {iorth, have confidence in
the National currency. In fact, some
traders have informed their customers
that they prefer greenbacks to coin-
This preference, of course, does not
ariso from the impression that, green
backs are really worth as much as gold,
for no one can expect ihat tube the case
but for the icason of the trouble ex
perienccd iu sending the gold and silver
where it may command a premium.
Lately the pi ice of goto lisa fluctuated so often
,Dd eo widely that parlies hero allowing for ft the
New York rate* at last advices have ontheerii
vi.l of a subsequent Btcauier found themselves
with quite an amount out of the pocket.
The Charleston Hotel was reopened on the Skill
by Mr. Stetson, formerly of the Astor House, New
York. The grid-iron flag of the Yankees wm un

A Scrap from Herodotn*.
I'aaniOMiWtv, King of Kgypt, sat
in the city gate. He had seen his
legions swept away like chaff before
the savage onslaught of the invaders,
and had found unavailing the hero
ism of the scanty few who had es
caped the butchery at Pelusium only
to find captivity or death at the
storming of the citadel at Memphis.
And now his kinghood was but
mockery, and his empire had passed
to his conqueror, Cambyses, who had
placed him at the gate only to refine
bis tortures. About him were the
captive nobles of his court, whose
years had prevented their participa
tion in the two battl<s,, wandering
what to bPral] them,
and gazing upou the mystic symbols
of their pagan gods, which looked
from wall and obelisk unanswcringly
to the mute prayers with which they
prayed to them.
i TANARUS« dowu Jkt jijla of tfcp tttcat
I street a procession of female slaves
seemed to be approaching; each with
a water pitcher on her head, aud
watched by a common soldier of Cam
byses’ army? On they came silently,
under the shadow of sphinx or pillar,
and past the vast facade of temple,
and palace, and all the grand sculp
ture of Memphis, the hundred-gated.
As the mute procession came close to
the gate, the pitcher bearers, clad
in the coarse cloth which only slaves
wore, glanced at the vanquished king
and fettered nobles, and with what a
start must these have recognized in
those water girls the willowy shapes
and sweet, dark loveliness of their
daughters, the very gems of their
hearts, the court beauties of Egypt 1
And first, among them was tho daugh
ter of the King himselJ’. When the
poor girls, who till now had been
lapped in luxury and never known
the merest breath of adversity, looked
thus upon their fathers, they all, fa
thers and daughters alike, broke out
into an agony of tears, and together
they bewailed the humiliation and the
misery which drooped over them so
hopelessly. But Psammcnitus sat si
lent and motionless, his eyes fixed
upon the ground, his hands clasped
over his knee, and no quivering mus
cle nor starting tear spoke of his an
guish.
And after this the monarch saw
his son led out, with two thousand
young Egyptian nobles, to expiate
with their blood tho violation of a
flag of truce by the frenzied Mem-,
phians, and they passed by, in the
iootsteps of their sisters, each w ith a
lialter about his neck and a bit in his
teeth; yet even at this sight Psaut
menitus showed no alteration of that
awful p.ftlm. *4*4—-•**
1 ■chiicr side of lum were ringing the
imprecations and entreaties of tho
doomed victims and of their Ilithers.
But now came before his view one
who had been a high officer of his
court and a boon companion in his
hours of revelry. Stripped he was of
his superb robe of state, the fabric of
some Babylonian loom, ragged, dirty,
and begging charity from the jeering
scum of tho Persian army) and seeing
this man, Psammenitus broke out into
a very bitterness of weeping, and
called to the friend of his more fortu
nate days, smote upon his head, and
seemed utterly overcome by his grief.
Cambyses, hearing of all diis, sent
a messenger asking why he had calm
ly witnessed his daughter disgraced,
and his son led out to execution, and
did so lament the misery of a fellow
who was not even of his own blood,
Psammenitus replied:
“Go, say to him whom Fate has
made my master, that there are
thoughts too deep for tears; that
weeping never can befit those paral
yzing griefs that cannot be remcin
"d”"*? ”i;ii). like tho impact
ot the coiners die, changes in an in
stant, and forever, tho heart tlioy havo
enstamped. My sorrow for iny chil
dren seemed at its birth already older
than the dawn of Aehiemcniun mon
archies, than Thebes, than Tityus;
and this monster agony has many
shapes, yet no one that sleeps not far
beneath muscle, and heart, and body,
in that dim, mysterious, deathless
thing—the soul. And this soul of
mine seems, in its sad existence, a
something apart from iny other life;
all too subtle for the grasp of tbe con
vulsive passion of a perishable hu
manity, all too sacred in its misery to
be approached by mere mind or mere
body. Gone from me, and gone for
ever, are the golden throne and royal
robes of my ancestors; and the scep
tre which, through three hundred
reigns, has ruled the teeming mil
lions of the plentiful Thcbais. My
darlings, too, are gone from me, and
nevermore shall gladden my crushed
heart. Can sorrows so divine in their
immensity ever outwardly be mourn
ed '{ But in the sufferings, unmer
ited, of that dear friend of mine, I
saw but human fortune, and all my
human heart went out to him. Tears
his sad ease demands who, having
fallen from abundance and prosperity,
has come to beggary and dishonor on
the threshold of old age.”
When this answer was brought to
Cambyses, the Egyptians relate that
Croesus, who had accompanied the
invading army, wept, and the Per
sians who were near wept also; and
Cambyses himself was so touched
with admiring pity, that he ordered
the son of Psammenitus to be taken
out from among those who were to be
executed, and returned unharmed to
his father.

A i'arlifan Character.
The Boulevard des lulier. Wr. 1
last week, by the hand of death, one
of its oldest frequenters, Major Fraser
an old daady, who from 1827 to 18G4
inhabited Paris, and who when in
town, was rarely to be seen elsewhere
than at that small but choice section
of the boulevard which extends from
the Chansaee d’Antin to the Bue La
Rue! Ills history Is curious, and few
people know it. Major Fraser was
the great-grand son of the Siman Lord
Lovet, executed for high treason in
the reign of George 11. Some of
his family then settled in France,
and tookservicc in tho French army.
Major Fraser's father emigrated to
Portugal in IG9Q and took a Portu
guese wife. The issue of this man
age made its way in the world.—
Two daughters, yet living, and are
the wives of rich noblemen ; one is
Marquis dc Bombelles and the other
the Marquis dc Gargcllo, of Naples ;
one son was a secretary of embassy
1 ra Attsuia y Uriirtthcr, jdonry Erskine
Fraser, was the Major Eraser who
has just gono to his grave. He was
born at Badajoz, Portugal, where lie
lived up to the age of eleven years,
lie had then lost loth father and
mother, and was committed to the
care of M. dc. Lcbscltcrn, the tutor
of Priuce Felix dc Schwartenborg.
The two pupils were sent together to
Russia, where they entered the mili
tary service as cadets. Their friend
ship dating thus early, was continued
in Paris. The Major used to be fond
of recounting how he took part in
'the battle of Leipsie, and rode into
Paris with his regiment ot Russian
Hussars Hut of late years lie left oft
telling these slevies, beeauso they
made him out to In' older than lie
wished to bo thought, and fie was u
.singii/ar/y well preserved man Jor bis
age. He left the Russian service- in
1827 with the rank of Major, and
ever after lived in Paris, in an apart
ment in the large house on the Boule
vard des Italiens, belonging to tho
Marquis of Hertford. Tho furniture
of these rooms was simple, and not
in proportion to the high rent ol' lodg
ing in that quarter. There was little
to bo seen in them beyond an iron
bedstead, a large map, a bearskin, a
large assortment ol' polished leather
boots, and a barrel of Cypress wine
always on tap for the accommodation
of friends.
Ono day when his bod was broken
he replaced it by it coffin, in which
he was wont to say that he slept hotter
than in bed, because lie was not liable
to tumble out when disturbed by
nightmare, to whioh he was very sub
ject. lie once made a bet with Lord
and ho did it. Another time lie rode
for a wager to Compoigno and back
every day for six days running.—
With all this be was an accomplished
scholar; he habitually shaped Latin
verses with Jules Janin, and was the
friend of Alfred do Musset, Boquet
and Romnieu. 110 was a member of
all the most popular gambling, clubs
in Paris, but, never played himself.
Notwithstanding his eccentric, and
as many supposed frivolous life, ho
had a practical taste for the industrial
pursuits of the present age. lie was
a director of several luilwnys, and
died ultimately from a fever caught
in Portugal, whither he had gone to
organize a company. —London Globa.

Moluc, Kmpet»r of Morocco, in order to
dethrone him, and sot his crown upou
the head of his nephew, Moluc wa3 wear
ing away with distemper which ho him
seif knew was ; incurable. However, Le
prepared for the reception of so fornii-*
liable an enemy. He was indeed so far
spent with his eickncss, that he did
not expect to Jivo out the whole day,
when tne last decisive bn tie was given ;
| but knowing the fa'al consequence that
would happen to his children and people,
in case he should die before be put au
