The Fight at Fairfax Court House.
The enemy, on Friday morning about three
, in numbers about eighty strong, entered
°. c , ' r Vniriax Court House, under the com-
th6 nd "of Lieutenant Tbompkins.’ The company
was tho United States regulars from Texas The
(inched into the town so unexpectedly that
theWarrenton Rides, Capt. John Q. Marr, had on-
some ten minutes to prepare for them The
Lmv fired at the quarters of the troops, killing
Cant. Marr instantly, and though near to Ins com
mand his death was not known until after 9 o clock,
when' liis body was found. The enemy pushed on
tlirousrh the town. The Warrenton Rifles then
formed under Col. Ewell and Gov. Smith, into two
platoons, and proceeded down the road alter the
enemy and taking position on the side of the road,
waited the return of the enemy. Very soon the
enemy returned in disorder, when a volley from the
rifles scattered them, and caused a retreat up the
road ' They reformed into “fours,” and came up in
ood order, when another firo from the rifles again
scattered them and they returned by a cross road
to Alexandria. „
Our troops took four horses, branded “U. S.
op ii an d killed three horses. The retreating de
tachment were seen near Anandale, with fifteen
led horses and a wagon containing wounded men.
Four prisoners were taken during the fight, and
nine ethers reported as having been found in
the neighborhood during the next day (Satur
day ) five U. S. soldiers were killed. Several
carbines, dragoon swords, officers’ swords, a doublo
barrel shot-gun and eight dragoon revolvers were
nicked up by our troops.
Our loss was Capt. Marr, killed—a brave and
efficient ofiieer, the support of a widowed mother,
<uid a most useful citizen. He was a member of
'he Vixrinia Convention, and had filled many res
ponsible positions. Col. Ewell was slightly wouu-
ded in the shoulder. A member of the Rappahan
nock company was also severely wounded. Capt.
Mart’s company were badly armed, having only
rifles, without bayonets, and had to encounter U. S.
regulars, armed with sabres, carbines and revol
vers They nobly performed their duty, notwith
standing there was no officer of the company to
command them. Capt. Mart was killed before the
company was formed, and Lieut. Shackelford was
^Capt Marr’s death was caused by a random shot
while selecting ground upou which to form his com
pany. The darkness prevented any one soeing
him fall, and Ins death was not known until Into
the next morning.
The Supply of Suit.
Rot having seen any reference among our ex-
chaiven, to the importance of securing for future
use asupply of this invaluable urticle of consump
tion, we deem i! proper to call attention to the sub-
je go far ns we know, there is not a salt manufactory
in the Confederate States ; we are not apprised as
tothe quantity we may have on hand, but presume
it is not very large ; aud, even if it were, it must
become exhausted, unless it be replenished. It be
comes, thou a matter of considerable interest to as
certain in what direction we may look for supplies
of this article. .
Should the Lincoln Government succeed in ear
tying out its purposes, with reference to the block
ade of our ports, we cannot bo furnished from for
eign sources as heretofore, since salt, being an ar
ticle of consumption, under the ruling ef that gov
ernment, is “contraband of war,” aud will, hence,
be “ruled out.”
What then must we do? We must have the salt
—our necessities will demand it. Otiiers will he
prevented from furnishing us. How shall wo get
it? Why, of course, make it. We have about as
much suit water as anybody else, and doubtless ns
favorable siutations for making salt. The Isorth
have said we could not live without them. In eve
rything else, thus far, since our separation, we have
been, and are now proving them liars. Let ns not
permit an exception to arise on this point. Let
some of our enterprising and wealthy citizons go,
at once, into the extensive manufacture of salt,
thus demonstrating that our resources and ingenui
ty are commensurate with this, as with all other
emergencies.
We have heretofore permitted others to supply
us with many articles of primary waul; let us
prove that it has been a gratuity, and not a neces
sity.— Sumter Republican.

Banks in Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Ala

all the Banks in the Southern Confederacy to re

Tin enigma dedicated to your “humble servant.”
Under the existing circumstances, it is very evident
that "thesurrender of Fort Pickens at an early day, ’
is a consummation to be devoutly hoped for. It is
also to ho hoped that the feelings which prompted
Virginia’s eloquent son, in the magnitude of his
emotions, to exclaim “(rtrs me liberty or give me
death," will inspire the bosoms of. all true South
rons battling m the same glorious cause. Please
insert the following

Decatur, June 3d, 1861.
Coincidences.—It is rather a singular coinci
dence that the day appointed as a day of general
fasting and prayer throughout the Confederate
States—prayer for the success of our a raw in a con
flict with tho United States—is also the birth-day
of General Scott, the General-in-Chief of the armies
against which we contend. On that day General
Seott will he sev.enty-five years of age.
Another curious coincidence of the war is the
fact that the bombardment of Fort Sumter was
commenced on the 12th of April, the birth-day of
Henry Clay; whilst tho fort surrendered on the
13th, tha-birlh-dav of Thomas Jefferson.
It is also remarkable that tho only lives lost at
Charleston were sacrificed in a salute of the Fed-
f eral flag when it was taken down.
It is equally singular that the man who toro
down the Confederate flag, and the man who raised
the Federal flag, in Alexandria, both lost their
lives in the attempt.
Pay of Volunteers.—We frequently hear the
question asked what pay do officers and privates
in the Confederate Army get for their services.
For the information of all such, wo append the
following schedule:
The Colonel gets $175 per month.
Lieut. Colonel gets $170 per month.
Major gets $150 per month.
‘Captain gets $108 per month.
■1st Lieut, gets $90 per month.
2d Lieut, gets $80 per month.
1st Sergeant gets $21 per month.
Other Sergeants get $17 per month.
Corporals aud artificers get $13 per month.
Privates get $11 per month, with yearly allow
ance of clothing and one ration per day.
Quartermaster gets the same as Captain.
Commissary the samo.
Diabolical.—It is now ascertained beyond ques
tion, that the firing of tho houses of Bishops Polk
and Elliott, at Snwanoe, Tennessee, was the act of
abolition incendiaricB.

ly and collectively are hereby expressed. And

ic motives which prompted the noble deed far

S. T. Player, R. L. Cumming, A. C. C. Thomp
son and N. A. Carswell auxiliary, were appointed
a committee to draft a Constitution and By-Laws
for the company.
A sample of gray cloth manufactured by the
Eagle Factory at Columbus was selected for tho
uniform and it was agreed to have the coats cut
after the pattern of the dress suit of the Washing
ton Rifles, and it was further agreed that the suit
be trimmed with a good article of black cotton
velvet.

bat and a military oil or gum cloth, and report to
the company at a subsequent meeting.

How brief and uncertain is life 1 Truly it is only
a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then
vanishes away. To the brevity and uncertainty of
life all nre called to bear record. Mrs. TEXANNA
SMITH, wife of Mr. Joseph Smith, is no more.
She departed this life in the 20th year ot her age,
after suffering twenty odd days with that slow but
often fatal disease, Typhoid fever. Sho leaves an
affectionate husband, a kind father, a tender moth
er, and many other friends and relatives to mourn
her absence. She also left a sweet, a lovely little
boy not yet two years old. God bless that young
one, that sweet little Christian, and may the good
Lord bless this dispensation ol his Providence to
the good of all tho surviving friends and relatives,
and at last save us all in Heaven for Christ’s sa bo.

He bore all the pain during the ten days of his sick-

He was a promising and interesting son, to whom

Cotton Feeder and Cleaner.
I INVITE the attention of Planters to my Cotton
Feeder and Cleaner, as a means of saving labor
in tho Gin House, increasing the per diem capacity
of the Gin, and adding an average of 1 cent per
ponnd to tho market value of the cotton. Circu
lars descriptive of the machine may be obtained by
addressing a note to me.
Orders may be communicated through, any Sa
vannah Factor or through Ulysses M. Erwin, Esq..
Davisboro, Ga. Read the following testimonials :
Magnolia Place, Nov. 20th, 1860.
S. Z. nALL, Esq.—Sir :—Having used your “Cot
ton Feeder and Cleaner” for nearly three months,
it affords me great pleasure to recommend it to my
friends . , „ ,
The machine separates the sand, hulls, leaves,
imperfect pods and all hard substances from the
Seed Cotton; producing a better sample of Cotton
than can possibly bo done by hand feeding; and
preserving tho saws from injury. Ono hand is
sufficient to operate both feeder and gin, and at
tend to all the work in the gin room.
Very respectfully yours U. M. ERWIN.
Davisboro, Ga., Dec. 22d, I860.
S. Z. Hall, Esq., Dear Sir:— 1 The “ Feeder and
Cleaner” which you attached to my 50 saw gin in
September last, has given mo entire satisfaction. I
find that my gin will do more and better work than
whon fed by hand. You will please furnish one
for mv 60 saw gin in time for the next season.
Yours truly DANIEL HARRIS.
Davisboro, Ga., Jan. 14th, 1861.
S. Z. Hall, Esq., Dear Sir :-»-Havingjnst finish
ed ginning my present crop of Cotton, 1 have care
fully examined tho “Feeder,” for the purpose of
ascertaining the probable length of time it will last.
I cannot perceive that the working parts have sus
tained tho loast injury, from the use to which I
have subjected them ; hence 1 suppose that they
will last, with ordinary attention, at loast 10 vears.
Youre truly, DANIEL HARRIS.
