They captured 14 horses, and took 100 Lin

were found concealed in the dens and caves of
the mountains. Holloway, the ruffian who
recently killed Col. Anderson, managed to make
his escape by clothing himself in female attire*

Manassas, Va., Nov. 25.
A party just arrived from Baltimore, states,
on reliable authority, that a simultaneous at
tack will be made within ten days on the Con
federate forces everywhere, ane that McClel
lan will probably advance within a week, the
weather permitting. He represents that pub
lic sentiment teroughout the North, is now of
so alarming a character, that it is neeessary
for the Government to be doing something im
mediately, to allay the excitement. An in
spection of our forces at Centreville, took
place to-day. They were reviewed by John
ston, Beauregard and Smith. The roads are
in bad condition for a tight, though it is report
ed that McClellan is already this sid<e of An*
nandale, and still advancing.
Martial Law has been declared on Sullivan’s
and James’ Island, by Gov. Pickens.
The Enemy Ou Main Land,
An official dispatch, dated the 24th r received
in this city, states that two boat loads of the
enemy have landed at Buckingham, about six
miles from Bluiiton, on May river, and! connec
ted with the Bluffton road. This is coming di
rectly on the main land. Our forces ha*ve made
a forward movement to meet them. We may
therefore expect stirring news shortly from that
quarter.— Charleston Courier.
From Mexico,
The Goliad (Texas) Messenger, of the 29th
ultimo, learns from Judge Divine, just returned
from Brownsville, that the principal men of
Mexico are friendly to the Confederate Govern
ment, knowing it to be to their interest to be
on good terms with Texas.
The Judge also g’ves the gratifying intelli
gence that Colonel Kinney had obtained six
hundred stand of arms and a large quantity of
powder from the authorities in Matamoras,
Evacuation of Hatteras. —The Newbera
N. C.) Progress of the 23d, says:
The steamer Beaufort, one of ort gunboats ar
rived here yesterday and reports that it is be
lieved that Hatteras has been evacuated by the
“Feds.” A recent reconnoisance in that vicin
ity failed to discover any troops a't that place or
any signs of them except in the "presence of a
gun boat or two. It is also reported that they
they have sunk vessels in the channel at Ocra
coke, and Hatteras, which are to answer the
purpose of a blockade; if so they bs ve been guil
ty of another piece of folly.

The Concert To-Night.
We understand that Madame B&ilini and her
pupils will give a concert to-njght for the beue
lit of the Maryland [troops in the Confederate
service. These patriotic Southerners have left
their homes in the possession of the Lincoln des
potism, and, with arms in their hands, are hero
icaily engaged in the effort to secure the free
dom of their native land. Their situation ap
peals with peculiar emphasis for sympathy and
assistance to every man and woman in the Sou
thern Confederacy. Cut off from communica
tion with their friends at home, they are necessa
rily dependent upon us for clothing and all other
comforts which a generous and grateful people
should esteem it a high privilege to afford to
their brave and self-sacrificing defenders. Let
not Columbus be behind her sister cities in the
South in testifying her admiration' and regard
for these gallant men. Let Temperance Hall be
attended to-night by every one who desires to
avert this stigma from her name.
The Federal Flag on Tybee Island Light
House.— Late Sunday evening several barges
loaded with Lincolnites from the fleet, landed
on Tybee, and soon after the Federal flag was
raised on the light house. We earnestly hope
that no time will be lost in reeking vengeance
on the vandals who dare offer this insult to the
soil of Georgia.— Sav. Rep. 26.
The Postmaster at New Orleans advertises
that letters for any part of the United States,
to go by Costa’s foreign mail, will be received
at the postotfiee if sent in open. They will be
examined, sealed if they convey no improper
intelligence to the enemy. The rate of postage
will be $1 15 per half ounce, double and triple
ates in proportion.
The Salt Boilers.— Our immediate sea coast
is said to be thronged with parties engaged in
boiling salt, and many have succeeded in ma
king a good supply. Tho fc quality of the salt
thus made is excellent, and some which we
have seen was as good as the best quality of
ground salt. Success to the enterprise. —Horry
( S . C.) Dispatch.
Gives It Up.—The Chicago Tribune says
The disastrous termination of the Cairo expe
dition to Columbus is another severe lesson on
the management of this contest with the reb
els. Our troops have suffered a bad defeat.
Ilundreds of men have been killed and woun
ded, and other hundreds taken prisoners. The
loss of the enemy is far lighter than ours. The
object of the expedition was not attained. The
rebels have been elated and emboldened, while
our troops have been depressed, if not dis
couraged.
Picketing,,,A Burlesque.
Notwithstanding their continual reverses, the
Yankees try to be funny occasionally. The
following specimen is copied from a Northern
paper:
While on my lonely beat about an hour ago, a
light tread attracted my attention, and on look
ing up, I beheld one of Secesh’s pickets stand
ing before me.
•‘Soldier!’'says he, “you remind me of my
grand mother, who expired before I was bora;
but this unnatural war has made us enemies,and
I must shoot you. Give me a chew terbacker.”
Ho was a young man, my boy, in the prime
of life, and had descended from one of the first
families of Virginia. That is to say his mother
was a virgin. At least that’s what I understand
by the first families of Virginia.
I looked ac him, and says I—
“Let's compromise, my brother.”
“Never!” says he. “The South is fighting for
her liberty, her firesides, and the pursuit of hap
piness, and I desire most respectfully to welcome
you with bloody hands to a hospitable grave.”
“Stand off ten paces,” says I, “and let’s see
whose name shall come before the coroner first.”
He took his place and we fired simultaneous
ly. 1 heard a ball go whistling about a quarter
of a mile to my right by a barn; and when the
smoke cleared away I saw the Becesh picket ap
proach me with an awfnl expression of woe on
his otherwise dirty countenanee.
“Soldier,” suys he, “was there anything in
my head before you fired?”
“Nothing,” says I, “save a few harmless in
insects.”
“I speak not of them/’says he. “Was there
anything inside of my head?”
“Nothing,” says I.
“Well,” says he, “just listen now.”
He shook his head mournfully and T heard
something rattle in it.
“What’s that?” I exclaimed.”
“That,” says he, “is your bullet, which has
penetrated my skull, and is rolling around in
my brain. I die happy, and with an empty
stomach; but there is one thing I should like to
see before I perish for my country. Have you a
quarter about you?”
Too much affected to speak, I drew the coin
from my pocket and handed it to him. The dy
ing man clutched it convulsively, and stared at
it feverishly.
“This,” said he, “is the first quarter that I
have seen since the fall of Sumter, and had I
wounded you I should have been totally unable
to give you any quarter. Ah! how beautiful it
is! how bright! bow exquisite, and good for four
drinks! But I have not time to say all I feel.”
The expiring soldier then laid down his gun,
hung his cap and overcoat on a branch of a
tree, and blew his nose. He then died.
And there I stood, my boy, on that lonely
beat, looking down upon that fallen type of man
hood, and thinking how singular it was he had
forgotten to give me back my quarter. The
sight and the thought so affected me that I was
obliged to turn my back on the corpse and walk
a little way from it. When I returned to the
spot the body was gone ! Had it gone to heav
en? Perhaps sc, my boy—perhaps so; but I h iv
en’t seen my quarter since.
