old, dirty and poorly constructed town. —
The houses are old fashioned, the streets fil
thy, though paved with rough and irregular
stones, the men slow in their movements,
an 1 the women plain. Oysters and fijlt of
flic most approved descriptions are to be hail
in great abundance, and at. one-third the
cost of the same articles in Charleston and
Savannah. The harbor is one of the best
in the world; and fifty or a hundred years
hence, if the* people should wake up in that
time, the city, under the fostering care of
the Southern Confederacy, may become a
place of great, commercial importance. The
population is estimated at 18,000; or in
cluding Portsmouth just across the river,
and other suburbs, 26,000. Oysters, fish,
fruit and vegetables constitute no small part
of the trade of the place.
Tuesday morning 1 visited Capt. Colquitt,
of the Columbus (Ga.) City Light Guard,
and Capt. Murray, late of the U. 8 Navy,
in command of the battery at Sewell’s Point.
Capt. Colquitt aud his command were in ex
cellent health and spirits, and “eager for the!
fray.” About noon the Harriet Lane, which ‘
is as saucy aud impudent as she can be,
steamed past the battery, just beyond the
range of our guns. At one time it was
thought she intended to engage the battery,
whereupon the boys were perfectly delighted.
I had applied for permission to lire one shot,
myself, by way of paying my compliments
to “the niece of the President;’ but her
commander was prudent enough to keep her
at a respetful distance.
f took my lirst dinner in camp with Capt.’
Colquitt and his mess, including the ller.
Mr. Jordan, chaplain of the company, and
though it was not equal to some dinners I
have set down to, I never enjoyed one more.
Before leaving them I shall venture upon a
predieti m, viz: That the City Light Guard
will leave a terrible mark upon the enemy,
should the God of battles ever bring him
within their reach. The company i? com
posed of many of the first young men about
Columbus —a fact which it is said does not
bold good with the rank and file of many of
the Virginia companies. Young gentlemen
of good social position here are ready to “Jfi
err the companies, but it is reported that,
with some exceptions, they are not so willing
to go into the ranks as the young men fur-,
ther’South.
I may remark, in passing, that the Geor
gia volunteers stand number one in this part
of the Confederacy. On the cars, at the
stations, and in the hotels, men and women
everywhere are unanimous in pronouncing
them the best troops that have been sent to
the field. j
From Sewell’s Point I went to Tanner’s
Cross Hoads, a most important strategic
point, where the Georgia battalion, Major
Hardeman, is encamped. The battalion is
composed of the Macon Volunteers, (’apt.
Smith; Floyd (Macon) Rifles, Capt. Ross;
the City Light Guards, Capt. Colquitt, now
at Sewell’s Point, and the Spalding Grays, 1
Capt. Doyal. 2V finer body of men of the
same number is not to bo found m the Con-’
federate Army. I took supper with Capt.
Smith and mess, who gave me the best cup
of coffee I have tasted since leaving home.
It. is said that not an oath has been uttered
in the ranks of the Macon Volunteers since
they left Georgia. iVfter tattoo, the com
pany assembled in front of the Captain’s!
tent for prayer. He read that beautiful j
production of David, the 90th psalm, in a;
clear and distinct voice, and then gave ont
an appropriate hymn, which I never heard
sung with more effect in a church. Next
came a simple hut touching prayer, in which
he begged that his command might be saved
from all sin and temptation, and that they
might have grace given them to perform
their whole duty to their Maker, to their
country, and to themselves. He asked that
wisdom might be given to our rulers and
success to our chieftains, and that, our coun
try might be conducted safely through the
dangers that now surround it, and that victory
might,at last perch upon our standard, ami ‘lie
sweet Jove of peace return once more to our
troubled land. He then prayed in most
touching words that God would have in his
keeping the dear friends they had left be
hind—their mothers, their wives and sisters,
and all others who were near and dear to_
them. I don’t know when I have attended
a service that impressed me more deeply. —
The night had closed in, a few camp lights
gleamed here and there, the clouds hung!
black and lowering above us, from the east |
came up the low, moaning roar of the ocean,
as it broke harmlessly against the frowning,
walls of Fortress Monroe and the Rip Haps;j
while the enemy’s drums could be distinctly
heard in the distance beating tattoo to the I
gathering hosts, blacker far than the night
that had ciept noiselessly over the face of
the earth. Thus surrounded and thus cir
cumstanced, here stood these youthful war
riors, with their harness on their backs,
humbly placing themselves, their friends,
their cause and their country into the hands
of the God of our fathers —the awful Judge
of the Universe! It was a picture worthy
to be transferred to “immortal canvass.” —
Can such men be conquered? Never!
I speut the night in Major Hardeman’s
marquee, aud took breakfast next morning
with him, Capt. Rosa and their hospitable
mess, where it was my good fortune to get
another cup of delicious coffee. Returning
to town in the forenoon, I visited the Third
Georgia Regiment, Col. Wright, encamped
near the Navy Yard. Here I found the
best arranged camps I have seen. Among
other tilings, I noticed that bush arbors had
be 2ti put up iu front of each tent, and ex
tending the entire leugtli of the street on
both sides, thus forming a shaded sidewalk ;
and in many places cedar and otliei ever
green trees, transplanted from a neighboring
field, had been set out by the volunteers.—
The cooking and eating Were done in the
rear, and the tents and sidewalks were kept
dean and swept. 1 was sorry to learn from
Colonel Wright that bis .Regiment had suf
fered considerably from measles, as had the
Fourth Georgia Regiment, Colonel Doles.
The latter lias lost five men from tins dis
ease, and the former, one, There were no

You hive doubtless published an account
of the affair at Pig’s Point battery, yester
day. The Harriet Lane attacked the battery,
which is in tin unfinished condition, and fired
thirty-four shots at it, one of which disabled
one of our guns. The battery returned the
compliment in gallant style, firing twenty
six shots, and compelling the steamer to
take to her heels. What her damage was
could not be ascertained; but, as she steamed
off, it was discovered that she leant to one
side, as if she had received a ball or two in
her short ribs. “ Nobody hurt” on our side.
The object of the attack was doubtless to
learn the range and character of our guns.

Charleston, S. C., June 12, 1860.
At the Convention of Delegates from
Risks iu the Confederate States, held at At
lanta, Georgia, on Monday, the od instant,
among the proceedings adopted were resolu
tions to the following effect, namely :
“1. That this Convention do recommend
to all the Hanks in the Southern Confedera
cy to receive in payment of all dues to them
the Treasury notes to be issued under the
Act of Congress of Muy 16, 1 SGI, and to
receive the same on deposit, and pay them
out again to customers.
“2. That until the said Treasury Notes
can be prepared and issued, it is recommend
ed that all the Banks do agree to advance to
the Government, iu current notes, such sums
severally as may be agreed upon between
them and the Secretary of the Treasury;
the said advance to be made on the deposit
with the Banks of Treasury Notes, of large
denomination, or eight per cent, stock or
bonds.
“That all the Banks in the Southern
Confederacy are earnestly requested to take
immediate action on the foregoing resolu
tions, as a measure of the greatest import
ance to the Government and the people, and
communicate the same without delay to the
Secretary of the Treasury at Richmond.”
The measure of receiving and paying out
the Treasury Notes of the Confederate
State-, as recommended in the Jirst of the
foregoing resolutions, having been consider
ed by flic several Banks of this city, a meet
ing of Committees representing them was
held on Tuesday afternoon, llth instant, at
the Planters and Mechanics Bank, for the
purpose of reporting to each other their sev
eral actions thereon.
The Banks being called upon to report in
order, it appeared that the recommendation
had been considered and agreed to by all.
Whereupon, the Chairman was instructed
to communicate their action to the lion, the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The recommendation contained in the sec
ond of the foregoing resolutions of the At
lanta Convention had been anticipated by
our Banks, and their resolution on the sub
ject communicated to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the 31st of May, by Geo. A.
Trcit iudm, Esq., Chairman of a meeting of
our Bank Committees, held on that day.—
Further action was, therefore, unnecessary.

to publish in the newspapers a minute of the

“ Advance the flag of Dixie ;
Hurrah ! Hurrah !
For Dixie’s land we’ll take our stand,
And live or die for Dixie !” Ac.
Now, I do not wish to spoil a pretty illu
sion, but the real truth is that Dixie is an
indigenous Northern negro retrain, as com
mon to the writer hereof as t lie lamp post in
New York city, seventy or seventy five years
ago. It was one of the every day illusi ns
of boys, at that time, in all of their out
door sports. And no one ever heard of Dix
ie’s land being other than Manhattan Island
until recently, when it lias been erroneously
supposed to refer to the South from its con
ucotioii with pathetic negro allegory.
When slavery existed in New York, one
“ Dixy” owned a large tract of land on Man
hattan Island, and large numbers of slaves.
The increase of the slaves and the increase
of the abolition sentiment caused an emigra
tion of the slaves to more thorough and se
cure slave sections, and the liegros who were
thus sent off (many being born there) natu
rally looked back to their old homes, where
they had lived in clover, with feelings of re
gret, as they eould not imagine any place like
Dixy’s. Hence it became synonymous with
an ideal locality combining ease, comfort
and material happiness of every description.
In those days negro singing and minstrelsy
were in their infancy, and any subject that
could be brought into a ballad was eagerly
picked up; this was the case with Dixie,”—
It originated in New York, and assumed
the proportions of a song there. In its trav
els it has been enlarged, and has “gathered
moss;” it has picked up a note here and
there; a “chorus” has been added to it, and
from an indistinct “ chant” of two or three
notes, it has become elaborate melody; but
the fact that it is not a southerfl song “ can
not be rubbed out,’ the fallacy is so popular
to the contrary that. I have thus beep at pains
to state the real origin of it. • P.

Newport News Point. —The organiza
tion of the name of this Point, ffltely made

“The early colony on James Riwer was at
one time reduced to a straightened condition,
aud some of its members start® down
the Janies River with the intention of
proceeding to England. They leaohed the
bend in the lliver, which is at present an
object of iuterest, and paused for some days.
When they were about to set sail, they aw
a ship coming up the Roads bearing the
British ensign. They delayed till it should
arrive. It proved to he Ford Newport s
ship, with his Lordship on board, who
brought the intelligence that the ship which
the colony had long before dispatched to
England for supplies, and which was many
months overdue, was near at baud, bringing
milch necdod relief. Meantime, his Lord
ship distributed provisions among the colon
ists, who, from these circumstances, named
the place “Newport News,” on account of
the good tidings which his Lordship brought
to them.”
An lucideut of Fort Sumter.
Most of our readers are aware that we
have in our office a Dinety-six pound shell,
which was fired from the steamer Monticello
upon the Manchester Aitillery,on the occasion
of her attack on Sewell’s Poiut. In connec
tion with this incident, a gentleman who was
present at the battle of Fort Snuiter, states
that one of these dangerous missiles entered
that fortification just above the magazine,
but outside of it desended through a block
ut granite ten or twelve inches thick and ex
ploded, one of its fragments, weighing nearly
twenty pounds striking the door of the ma*r
azine and so bending it inwards that it was
afterwards found impossible to close it with
out the aid of ti mechanic. Within a few
hours of this occurrence a red hot shut from
Fort Moultrie passed through the outer wall
of the magazine, peueirated the inner wall
to the depth of four inches, aud theu fell to
the ground. All this time grains of powder,
spilled by the men iu passing to and from
the casemate aud magazine were lying loose
ly upon the floor, which ignited by a spark,
would have blown the structure into atoms.
Throughout that entire engagement, so hotly
and obstinately contested, the baud of provi
dence ivas everywhere equally visible.—
Deathdealing balls flew in every direction.
Men beard them whistle by their ears, and
had the earth torn up around their feet.—
Groups were spattered with the mud and
dust of plunging thirty-two pounders, and
splinters of wood and iron rained among the
unflinching soldiers with such murderous ve
hemenie that nothing but a higher power
could have prevented them from harm ; yet
“ nobody was hurt.” Let us hope that the
God of battles, who lias thus far been so
gracious, may still direct our efforts and car
ry us safely through the storm of war.
In this connection we may mention that

Smooth IJ'ire Miiskeh-Old Virgin
ia Rifle aud Sabre.
It is the opinion of experienced officers of
the reguhir service that the smooth bore
musket is a better weapon for volunteers
than the rifled musket. This is said to have
been the opinion also of Gen. Jackson, who
was something of a judge of guns. Although
its range is less, and its accuracy wdien firing
at, small objects is not so great as a rifled
musket in the hands of a good rifle shot,
yet, in firing at masses at ordinary range and
with unpracticed troops it is more efficient,
iu as much as it can be loaded with more
rapidity, does not foul, carries both ball and
buckshot, and is not so delicate and so liable
to get out of order as the Minie musket.
The old Virginia rifle, which has been
east into the shape of late by what arc called
“ improved arms,” has been found to be
identical with the new English rifle, which
is so highly approved in Europe. After ail
the progress made in weapons ot destruction,
there is none to this day more formidable
than the old Virginia rifle. It is a curious
fact, too, that the Cavalry Sword, manufac
tured at the Virginia Armory in this city,
fifty years ago, is about the exact pattern, in
every respect, of the most approved United
States Government sword now in use.—
Strange as it may appear, our two weapons
ot war manufactured in the Old Dominion
more than half a century ago, one of which
( the rifle, ) notwithstanding all the improve
ments in destructive implement#, has lately
been adopted and pattented in England, and
the other (the sword) is identical in almost
every respect with the requirements ot the
late United States Government. —Richmond

(Aver the common musket, we make a few
extracts from an article in the North British
Review, for August, 1858, entitled “ Our
Army in India.” American publication, p.
119.
By the practice at the School at Ilythe, it
is proved that with the Minie a more effec
tive fire was given at a thousand yards than
was given with the patrouage appointed Gen
eral’s weapon, the Brown Bess of eighty.—
The cavalry man who approaches the charg
ing distance of two hundred yards, within
three hundred yards of the Minie, in well
trained hands, will breathe his last; so that,
for the future, there will be an end of the
practice of bayonet charges. From India
we now hear of the ‘withering fire of the
Minie,’ the ‘dreadful Minie,’ of its having
silenced first class artillery, wielded by gun
ners of our own training.”
“As example of the power of the new
weapon, an instance is stated as of recent oc
