Dear Sir: Your favor of 28th inst., has been
received. The proper address to whom the arti
cles intended for the Georgia Hospital, should be
sent, is,
“Henry Moore, Sec’y of Georgia Relief and
Hospital Association, Augusta, Ga.’’
The box should be accompanied with a list of
the articles securely tacked upon the outside.
We have arrangements with the Express Com
pany and Railroads, by which they will b 8 car
ried cheaply (at our expense) and with certainty
to their destinations.
Wo will in the same way, forward boxes in
tended for special companies. The contents
need not be marked on those.
Our arrangements for perfecting the Hospital,
are complete. All parts of the State co-operate.
We have sent a moveable or flying Hospital to
Monterey with a Purveyor (Mr, H. J. Sibley, one
of our good citizens,) which will accompany Gen.
Lee’s army.
Another with a similar outfit as to clothing,
bedding, ic., as well as Mediclines, has gone
with Dr. 11. If. Starnes, towards Manassas
Another is in progress *br l’orktown.
We are about to establish a central Depot at
Richmond, or other point in Central Virginia.
Our Central Directory, Secretary, Ac., will re
main here, but we will have Surgeons and gen
eral agents, or purveyors in Virginia, and wher
ever the Georgia forces may move.
Our arrangements will place Georgia along
side of any State, in this highly interesting and
important work, I hope. I should add, that we
have secured the services of experienced nurses,
white and colored, and that I or one of the di
rectors, expect to be in Virginia in about ten
days, to co-operate with Dr. Campbell (now
there) in making the necessary arrangements.
It it will be of service in disseminating this
information, you may publish this letter.
Very Respectfully, Ac.

A Skirmish in the Kanaicha J alley—the Confed
erates Repulsed.
“Cincinnati, Aug. 22 —A skirmish occurred
at Hawk’s Nest in Kanawha Valley, eight miles
beyond, on the 20th. Tho Confederates, some
four thousand strong, advanced to where the 11th
Ohio Regiment had erected barricades and were
driven back with a loss offifty killed and a num
ber wounded and taken prisoners.
“Our loss was only two slightly wounded and
one missing. Our forces captured quite a num
ber of horses and equipments.”
I have just returned from General Wise’s com
mand, having left there on the night of the 20th,
and after the skirmish was over. Our force con
sisted of parts of three Cavalry Companies
(amounting in all to 100 men,) and the enemy
numbered at least COO. Col. Croghan, of our
Brigade, drove the enemy back to the Hawk’s
Nest, taking two prisoners and doing other dam
age not known at tho time of my departure.—
Our loss was one ki.led and three wounded.—
Gen. Wise was present during the action and as
cool and self-possessed as though no enemy
were in the vicinity. Our Brigade was encamp
ed at Locust Laue, not less than five miles from
the scene of action.

The-Cry is Still They Come.
Notwithstanding the many regiments of sol
diers which havearrivod and departed from this
point, till it has got to be a common affair, our
people were unusually excited day before yester
day by the arrival of a whole regiment at once
from North-Eastern Georgia, raised, armed and
equipped through the exertions and patriotic
liberality of Col. lUbt. McMillan, of Habersham.
They came to this place on foot—having made
the march from Clarksville during the week—
having a lengthy train of 108 teams bringing
their baggage, arms, accoutrements Ac. ; and the
lengthy caravan, as it moved through our streets
preceded by the entire regiment in one body, was
greeted with applause.
Stopping in front ofthe Trout House, the reg
iment was welcomed to the city by his Excellen
cy, the Governor, in a patriotic address, which
was responded to by Col. McMillan in one of the
most eloquent and patriotic addresses which we
have had the pleasure of hearing for many
days.
This regiment composed of the hardy men of
the mountains, who know no such word as sear v
and who can “drive the cross” wherever they
find their game.— Southern Confederacy , 31»L
Forfilications af Baltimore City,
The Washington correspondent of the Phila
delphia Inquirer writes :
I have good reason to believe that instructions
have been sent to Gen. Dix for the immediate
entrenchment and fortification of Federal Hid,
in Baltimore. It is a most commanding posi
tion. It is not only by far the highest point in
the city, but its natural advantages are superior
to oil others in or near Baltimore. Avery slight
degree of labor in cutting down tho high and
precipitous bank on one side, and ditching und
throwing up entrenchments on the other there,
will make it as strong as Fort Corcoran.
A young lady of extraordinary capacity
addressed the following letter to her cousen :
Dear Kuzzen—The weather whar we is air
I suppose whar you is it is kolder.
V\ e is all well and mother’s got tbe his Terrix,
brother Tom has got the Hupin kaugb, and sis
ter susin has got a babee, and hope these few
lines will find you the same, Rite sune.

fcjENT To Richmond.—About twenty-one pris
oners, (mostly sailors) recently taken from Abo
lition ships captured off the coast of North Car
olina, taken by the “ rebei privateer” Lady Da
vis, (well remembered in this city as the James
Gray,) have been sent to this city for safe keep
ing or transportation within the territories ofthe
enemy, as circumgtancts might seem to justify.
[Rich. Dispatch.
Brought About by the War.— The Phila
delphia Press, speaking of the fall trade, says :
“Trade thi3 fall will be light. In many in
stances, firms which a year ago had a right to
be considered wealthy, are to-day hopelessly in
solvent ; and, in our large cities, it is no exager
ation to say that a majority of their mercantile
houses have been compelled to yield to the storm
of general suspension.”
Vandalism.
The Winchester Republican, ot the 23d Au
gust, says :
The valuable Flouring and Cement Mills, be
longing to the Hon. A. R. Boteler, situated on
the banks of the Potomac, were burnt to the
ground Sunday night last by tbe same gang of
thieves who stole him from his bed a lew
nights before. They were doubtless enraged
at his release, and adopted this method of vent
ing their spleen. How long are we to be trou
bled with these miserable scoundrels? Is it
not time that their worthless carcases were
given as prey to the vultures of the air f The
loss to Mr. 13., we regret to learn, will be heavy,
and together with losses sustained by him a
few years since, will we fear very much crip
ple his resources.
A Minnie Rifle Manufactory in New Or
leans.—The N.* Orleans “Bulletin” says it may
not be generally known that a minnie rifle manu
factory has l>eea established in rtiis city, and is
now in successful operation. The rifle turned out
is equal in all respects, in accuracy of bore, com
pleteness, durability and elegance of finish to
any made in the North, in England, France or
Belgium. The establishment, upon its present
basis, is capable of making t«*n rifles a day.

to take the ship out. but did nob succeed. Im
mediately on receipt of the news, the steamer
Wm II Young, having in tow the privateer F 8
Bartow, with detachments From the Apalaohico -
la Guards, Perry Artillery and Beauregard Hides,
under their respective commanders, proceeded
down the bay, and arrived in sight of the Fin
land and the blockading vessels about daylight
this morning. The Finland had all sail set, and
was apparently boating out. The blockading
steamers were lying outside the bar; about three
miles from the East Pass Light. The schooner
New Plan, Capt. John Genoa, captured at the
same time with the Finland, was seen gciDg
from the ship" towards the steamers.
The enemy finding that we were rapidly over
hauling the ship, became alarmed, set fire to her
and made a precipitate retreat in their boats.—
The Bartow then changed her course and at
tempted to cut off the boats ; but were unable to
do so, the Vandals making terrific speed over
the water. During this time the two steamers
outside fired up and made a demonstration to run
in, doubtless to protect and cover the retreat of
their boats. The expedition returned to the
city this morning, having left the East Pass, a
little after sunrise. The Finland was in flames,
lying with all sails set, on the flats off the
mouth of Crooked Itiver.
A detachment of the Apalachicola Guards, oh
taiued a boat from the steamer Wm II Young,
and by permission, went over to the burning
ship to see if anything could be saved from her.
The Master and crew of ihe Finland, as well as
of the schooner New Plan, are no doubt prison
ers, on board the blockade vessels. These are
all the pailiculars wo are enabled to give at
present.
Hatteras Ini.kt. —As the attention of most of
our readers will he drawu to the map, to find out
the position of this place, and as it is down on
but few if any of them, we will *ry and describe
its location. On nearly every map Ocracoke
Inlet will be found, and about eighteen miles
North of that is situated Hatteras Inlet, which
we believe is anew channel, having cut its way
through the quicksand quite recently. It will ad
mit vessels of from 10 to 13 feet draft, but in
side there is a wash which will admit only
feet to go over. Ocracoke bar has about the
same water, but the wash inside is not so much,
hence the superiority of Hatteras Inlet. The
batteries (for we learn there are two) which
fought the action noticed by telegraph this morn -
ing, are situated on the South end of the Island
on which Capo Hatteras stands, but is tho North
side of Hatters Inlet—the South side not being
fortified.— Charleston Courier .
From Norfolk.
Wc take the following from the correspondence
of the Richmond Dispatch :
Norfolk, Aug, 2G. —lt is rumored here, ami
perhaps belimd by a few, that Wool intends to
attempt a landing of his forces on our coast this
week, and our troops are of course ready and
anxious to reeeive them. It is reported that
Gen. Wool states that he will effect a landing or
lose every man under his command. It ie not
impossible that we shall have a gay time in this
vicinity before the lapse of many weeks. Oar
gallant troops are amused at bis thrsats, and are
anxiously waiting for a cUance to feed the sharks
and lertilize the fields. 1 '

StfisimiTE of Tea, The Raleigh (N. C.)
“Standard” say*: “In view of the probable
scarcity of tea and coffee during the war, we ;-ee
the papers are recommending the use of the
leaves and twigs of the Yopon, an evergreen
which grows spontaneously on our coast. The
Yopou is a common drink on the banks, arid id
highly esteemed by many. We have heard it
said that, when it is well cured, it is greatly im
proved when the milk and molasses are boiled
with it. It is rather vulgar to use sugar for
sweetening Yopon. Molases is the thing. A
venerable lady, who lived to a considerable
age on the banks, once speaking of the healthi
ness as a drink, said — ‘Bless the Lord, Yopon
ha3 kept me out of Heaven these twenty
years.’ ”
