Xbe Concert at Newell’s Hall, on Thurs jiv evening, for the “benefit of barefooted loldiert,," was attended in great strength, ,be proceeds amounting to §290, which takes about §700 raised by the sweet roicef of onr Young Ladies within two wee ks. The la>t Concert was under the jriacipal direction of Miss Folsom, whose brother commands a regiment of Georgin Volunteers in \ irginia. YYc never saw the Hall so thoroughly crowded. Among the attractions we take the liberty of re [erring to the beautiful and soul-stirring r.usic “Maryland, my Maryland,” which whs oxcented by a lady who formerly pre- lidtii in the Executive Mansion of liud, with piano-forte accompaniment by ler elegant and highly educated daughter. Ibe-e ladies are exiles from Baltimore, on account of their Southern principles; and the patriotic air which contributed so much to the delight of the audience, was given forth by them with a genuine sympathy which touched every soul capable of relishing the perfection of music. All the ladies who participated in the Songs, t’lisrades, Tableaux, Ac., which constitu te the evening's eutertainm ent, performed their several rolls handsomely, and are entitled to the highest praise. A more leautirti! and patriotic scene it is difficult :o imagine. Many a brave soldier will Less 1 etc noble ladies for the timely ro- j lief afforded. - ^ l-'r l iie letter which we publish to-day from our old friend, General Thomas E.

A , EXEMPLAUY CONDUCT. 3Ir.V\ bittleuf Bibb, stated in the House, on Wednesday, that in a conversation be lately had with a gentleman cf Columbus, ke expressed his surprise at the unreason able advance of prices by the eetton mills, when the gentleman stated that when 16 cents per yard was demanded for goods hitherto sold at 10 and 12, he acquiesced ; ut when 20 cents was pat an, \>t protested, and when 25 cents was required, he sold out lis stock in the mill, and dissolved Lis connexion with the concern. The name of the disgusted stockholder was not given to the House, but his example showed an upright nature, which we trust wilj have its proper influence. In the same discussion (on the bill to seize the factories for public nsc) Mr. Whittle further stated that the Macon Manufacturing Company were sellingosna- bergs at-28 cents per yard, while he un derstood that the Governor had to pay 60 cents per yard for 35,000 yards lately purchased to make salt sacks, from the Milledgeville Manufacturing company ; and at the Augusta mills the price was j 8a:<i t0 from 65 to 70 cents per yard. : Uo <lid not percei.ve why the excess should be demanded, if the profits of the Macon mills were a fair criterion. 35,000 yds osnabergs at 60cts 821,000 35,000 “ “ 2Scts. 9,800 Excess of profits at Milledgeville 811,200 THE BLIND AND INSANE, ibe House, on Wednesday, adopted the resolution offered by Mr. Whittle of Bibb, requiring the Tax Receivers to report the number and names of blind persons, and nl«o the number and names of lunatics in each county, 6o that such information may be rendered useful to these unfortuuate classes, iu connection with the Public Asylums. <rucc*jffSfully, him! turning out large quantities of tlie finest kind of salt. My wagons Lave just re turned from thesaliues, in Vauzaudt county, w here 1 got th.' prettiest salt at 4(8 50 per sack, and paid tor it by hauling up a load of merchandise fro in Houston. v I have plenty of hogs to meat, plenty of corn to fatten them, and plenty of salt to save it. If 1 only had shoej and clothes for my family, I would not ask old Abe any favors. I have bought leather (at $1 per lb., and badly tanned at that) and am making my negro shoes. Now if I could only get 3oare for tlie female members of my white family, I would be- “whole-footed.” Shoe-makers here charge 917 for gentlemen's shoes, and £27 for boots. I hope the Conscript Act will bring them out of that. WejivB some “ Shylocks” (gene rally old \ aukee merchants, but some of our own people are just as bad) who put the screws on to the people when they have the chance. They re tail bacon at 30 cents per ib., lard 24 cents, salt 15 cents, flour 20 cents, whiskey (old rot gat) at 8 > per bottle, tobacco $2 50 per plug, snuff $1 DO per bottle, calico (formerly worth 10 cents) $1 12£, osnabergs (formerly worth 11 cents) at §1. flannel (formerly worth 25 cents) at $l 50 per yard, and that too to a soldier, copperas (formerly worth 10 cents) at SI 50 per pound, and other things in pro portion. God help the poor or needy who fall i:.;o their bands. Our merchants have determined to keep the cot ton trade entirely in their own hands. They will not sell a yard of bagging, nor a pound of rope to a planter. But they first buy bis cotton, and then furnish him the bagging at 55 cents per yard, and rope at 50 cents per pound, to be deducted from the amount of sales. I planted all com, and am now gathering 25 bushels per acre, on my LiD plantation, and 50 bushels per acre on my planta tion on the Brazos river. J do not think I lose any thing by not planting cotton, as the Gov ernment takes all tli-s corn I have to spare at 81 per bushel, and the fodder at $2 50 per 100. I see in your issue of the 7th Oct., an account of the battle at tsharpsburg, by P. W. A. (I sup pose P. W. Alexander, formerly editor of the Sa vannah Republican) Army Correspondent of the Savannah Republican, lie seems to have seen no other troops there but Georgiaus. I have also read the account of the same battle, by “Personne,” Army Correspondent of the Charleston Courier, w hich I think far more reliable. He places Hood's Texas Brigade there, in the thickest of the fight. Gen.

J’etkkhbuko, Va., Nov. 18.—The euetuy, supposed to number considerably over a brigade, appeared at Franklin, on the Black Water river, this morning, and at tempted to cross, under cover of shells. The Confederates successfully resisted them for two hours, when the Abolitiouists retired. We captured 12 or 11 prisoners. Oar ioss is none, so far as heard from. Parties direct from Lower Brandon, on ibe James River, assert positively that there is no fleet in that vicinity, nor lias there been any. No fleet is iu sight np or down the river. SECRETARY OF WAR. Richmond, Va., Nov. 19.—James A. Seddon, of Virginia, has been appointed Secretary of War. He lormerly represent ed this district in the United States Con gress, and wag a member of the Peace Congress. ARRIVAL OF A FLAG OF TRUCE BOAT- NORTHERN NEWS. Richmond. Va., Nov. 19.—A flag of truce boat arrived at City Point yesterday. Among the passengers were several ladies, near relatives of Judge Campbell, of Ala baina; and among the returned prisoners weie several officers aud surgeons. They have been three days in the James River, and consequently, bring no very late news from the North. They all represent that Burnside’s army was demoralized by Mc Clellan’s removal, and that that event nearly caused a revolution among the Fed eral troops. Whole regimeuts, it is said, threw down their arms, aud those who were ordered to arrest them refused to do so. Gen. lialleck visited the army, aud succeeded in pacifying the malcontents. The Baltimore American, of Monday af ternoon last, has a dispatch from Treutou, N. J., stating that Lieut. Cols. Colburn and Duane, of McClellan’s staff were sent to YY ashiugton City, on tlie 15th inst., under arrest ; and a report prevailed that other members of McClellan’s staff wwie to be put under arrest. The charges against them are unknown. THE ATTACK ON FREDERICKSBURG. Richmond, Nov. 18.—Tlie Enquirer of this morning contains additional particu lars of the reappearance of the Yankees at Fredericksburg. The movement appears to have beeii more serious than was at first supposed. Ou Sunday morning it was ascertained by the commandant at Fredericksburg, that a strong force of the enemy from Warren- ton was approaching by a road crossing a ford some four or five miles above. Col. Crutcher immediately posted his little command at that point, and about CXA Bold) and amendments were referred to a select committee, which included Mr. Whitehead of W alton, the origiuator of the proposi- in the Bharpsburg fight* Their wounds were painful hut slight, and they are both with the regi ment again.

Navasota, Texas, Nov. 3, 1862. Messrs. Editors : 1 have wanted to write to vou some time, but have been prevented by the irreg ularity of the mads* \on will observe the name of our postoffice is chauged to “ Navasota." Make a note of it. When the Yankees blockaded Gal- vestoj, in July, 1861, our mails stopped. An ar rangement was sodu made to forward the letter mail over the Oupelousas Railroad and by stages, through the country ; but the papar mail was left to take care of itself, and get along the beat it could. Occaaionaily a straggling Kecordor—say one in the fortunes of that day, and Gen. Whiting, in his official report, gives to the gallant 4th Texas the honor of being the first to break the enemy's line. Robert was wounded slightly by a minie ball iu Yankee cavalry made, its appearance. A brisk engagement ensued, and the enemy was finally driven back with a loss of sev eral killed and twelve prisoners Sunday night Col. Crutcher withdrew his force to town, where he could work more odvantageously in conjuction with Col. Ball the military commandant. Y esterday morning, the enemy, evident ly in increased force, appeared with sev eral batteries of heavy artillery, above the town. An artillery engagement eri- army iu Arkansas.

With the two or three months, would reach me, by way of knife Ht our Uirui ‘ ts ’ the Ashing be- Alexanlrin. When the Yankees captured New Orleans, they stopped altogether. In August, Jisi52. they began to come scatteringly again. For the last month they arrive regularly, aud I also get some letters from Laurens and Thomas coun ties. The object of this letter is, to see if the mails have become sufficiently regular to risk sending money to you. Immediately upon its reception, please let me know the amount of my indebtedness to you, and whether I shsll send it by mail. I have another object in view, j We kUve but one factory for raakiug cloth in ! this State (the one in the Penitentiary) and Gen. Holmes, of Arkansas, has taken possession of it, to make cloth for the use of the urniy of the West. This was perfectly right—thfr^oldiers must have clothes. But it has thrown the people upon their ow n resources, and we must resort to the spiniug- wheel and hand-loom. This we are perfectly w ill iag to Jo, if we can only get cotton and wool cards. fore our eyes, it is no time for talk and profitless discussion. The masses are sick ad nuuseum of the miserable wrangle over the Conscript Law. If we were not iu the death struggle for our lives, property and liberty, we would bow to the solemn adjudication of the Supreme Court. But at such a fearful crisis as this, the people view with horror and alarm the attacks upon its late decision ou the Conscript question, as pointing the way to anarchy aDd internecine strife, the Legislature, then, to sink partizanship in pa triotism, and go to work, as men would to save their house, or wife, or little ones, from tire and flood. The militia should be promptly organized. All arms-bearing men, not subject to conscription, should be enrolled, and ready at the earliest day to take the field. Arms, as far as possible, be provided, and ammunition be secured at once ■ The "Confederate Government will do all in its for making cotton aud wool cards, iu Georgia.

The order was promptly exe cuted, and several pyramids of cotton bales were soon sending up a smoky iucense to heaven. About 1000 boxes of tobacco, be longing principally to speculators, were ruthlessly tumbled into the Rappahan nock. In the course of an hour or two the ene my were repulsed from their new locality of assault, and followed up by our cavalry, and lost some ten or fifteen more pris ouers. During the progress of the engagement, which occurred just outside ol the corpora tion, the people became resolute in their determination to stand by tlie town, and even the women, in many instances ap peared in the streets on horseback, and afoot, armed, and with all the enthusiasm of war. * In the afternoon the enemy again made their appearance, but this time on the Let us beseech northern side of the river, and in greater force further off, with guus superior in range to our own. The engagement •continued during the evening. Our loss up to six o’clock was one killed and two or throe slightly woun ded. A portion of the enemy was report ed already in Falmouth, or. the opposite side of the river, and their whole force siippoaed to be advancing, said to be 12,000 —no eoubt an exaggeration. From one to three regiments of the ene- emy had, at last advices, been actively en gaged. The news inclines the Enquirer to the conclusion that either the enemy are coming upon Richmond, from Fredericks burg, or are about to be transported to the line of advance. It indicates work, how ever, ou one side or the other.

Your Legislature is iu session, with members from every county, and you can learn from them. The Yankees have captured Sabine Pass, Galves ton, Matagorda, ludianoia. and Powderhorn, and I think, will soon capture Corpus Christi and Brownsville. Then they will have the whole coast. Our rivers are small, shallow and nar row, and “rundown” so soon, that they will hard ly attempt to go up them If they do, we can easily throw obstructions iu the rivers, aud our Tcx.va riflemen will piek off every man ■' who shows the white of bis eye.” There is an efficient patrol established all along tLe coast* aud we have determined to bang every negro caught iu the at tempt to get to the Yankees, and every strange white man who is seen in the country, and who cannot give a reasonable account of himself.
