Journal £ Utangtr. TkNOWLES and S. ROSE, *KIIYORS AND PROPRIETORS. Additional I'iH'D. The Virginia correspondent of the Atlan ta Confederacy, gives additional particulars ofj(the great Manama fight, which will be read with interest. The writer says : There are some additional facta touching the death of the lamented Bartow aud the part which the 7th and Bth Georgia Regi ments performed in the great battle of the 21st. which I have obtained from eye wit nesses, and which canuot fail to interest your readers. Col Bartow fell when he was leading the Seventh in a charge upon Ritk et’s battery, not Sherman’s. Lieut W • f* Moon, of the Atlanta Confederate 1 oluu teers, J. T. Bindley, of the Cobb county Confederate Guards, J L. Pol-h-of the same company, and a 1 irginian. picked him up and bore him to the rear. Ilis last uttered when thc\ started of! w ith biro, as reported to mo. were : “Boys, they have killed rue, hut never give it up.”— They carried him seventy-five or a hundred yards from where he fell, and laid him down ; but the bullets fell so thick about him that they removed him further down the hill, where they procured some water, lie drank a little, and then seemed to try to sj>eak, but was not able. They then applied the canteen to his lips a second time, but he was unconscious and could not swallow the water. Laying him back, he died almost immediately, and without a struggle. They took off his gloves and placed them aud a cartridge box under his head for a pillow.— He did not live more than twenty minutes after he fell. When T tirst saw him, about ten o’clock at night, his face wore a smile of victorious satisfaction that led me, for a moment, to doubt the reality of his death.— Hearing of his fall, Gen. Johnston sent a detachment to bring his body to headquar ters, which was done, and on tin following day, by order of President Davis, his re mains were taken to Richmond to Mrs. Bartow. His sword, which had been previ ously broken by a ball, was saved, and yes teaday I succeeded in getting his belt. While on a visit yesterday to the Seventh Regiment, I had the satisfaction to examine their flag. It has fourteen bullet holes in it, and at Bartow’s fall, Lieutenant Paxton of Virginia asked leave, the color hearer being wounded, to carry the flag. Ilis re quest was granted, and he anti W. L Nor man, one of the color guards, DeKalb coun ty, were the first to place it upon the captured battery, Kli W. Iloyte of the Atlanta Con federate Volunteers, was the first to mount the battery. There is another incident which deserves public mention, and which shows of what kind of stuff the Georgia boys are made. — Wm. DeJournett of the Rome Light Guard, having been slightly wounded aud left be hind concealed himself in the bushes. The Second Rhode Island Regiment passed by, without seeing him, hut Col. Sloemn who commanded the regiment and who came on behind it, discovered him in the bushes. — Attempting to draw his pistol, he said, “your life you rebel.” For some reason he could not get out his pistol easily, and seeing DeJournett level his musket at him, he cried out, “don’t shoot.’ - But the Georgian did shoot and killed him too. He then took to his heels through the thicket, and the regi ment sent a shower of bullets after him but to no effect. I saw Slocum’s grave to-day in a little cabbage garden by the side of the road not far front the battle field, ami also found their Maj. Ballou of the same Regi ment who had his leg shot off. But I must stop ; for if I were to go on to tell all the gallant acts of our boys, mv supply of paper would soon be exhausted.— All the officers in loth Regiments, and every man in the ranks, did their whole du ty. Major Cooper is the only field officer in the Eighth and Col. Jits. F. Cooper, the only one in the Seventh, who escaped inju ry. Col. Gardner, who had his leg broken by a minnie ball, is now at a farm house, near this place, and doing very well. Major Dunwoody, of the Seventh, received a slight wound in the shoulder, while his horse re ceived four shots without Icing killed. I send herewith a list of the casualties jn the Eighth Georgia Regiment. There were only about 550 men in the Regiment when it went into action, owing to sickness and other causes, and yet 32 were killed, 151 wounded, and 11 are missing—-104 in all. More ikau one out of every three, lu the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Col. Bartow’s old Company, only I*4 nen out of 87 es caped without a wound or mark of some kind, either upon their bodies or their clo thing. There si still another fact I cannot for bear to tecord. After the terrible tiro to which the Eighth Georgia had been ex posed, and which they received with the im mobility of marble statues, < Jen. Beaure gard passed the little remnant of the Regi ment that was still left, which was ready to strike yet another blow j and raising his cap with undisguised admiration and sympathy, he said. “Eighth Georgia, I salute you.” What a scene, and how much it implied ?

General Winfield Scott iu the papers, over his own sign manual. A portion of his card (aud all that wc have seen) is copied iu the Nash ville Vmttu ami American of the Ist instant, from the New York Times of the 20th July. It is as follows : “I am only a subordinate. It is my busi ness to give advice when it is asked, and to obey oiders when they are given. 1 shall ifo it. There are gentlemen in the Cabinet who know much more about war than I do, and who have far greater influence than I have in determining the plan of the cam paign- There never was a more just and upright man than the President, —never one desired more sincerely to promote the best interests of the country. But there are men among his advisers who consult their own resentments far more than the dictates of wisdom and experience,—and these men will probably decide the. plan of the cumpaiyv. — i shall do, or attempt, whatever 1 am or dered to do. Hut they must not hold me responsible. If lam ordered to go to Rich mond, 1 shall endeavor to do it. But I know perfectly well that they have no con ception of the country, i know the coun try —how admirably adapted it is tc defence, and bowr resolutely and obstinately it will be defended. I would like nothing better than to take Richmond—now that it has been disgraced by becoming the capital of the Rebel Confederaej’, I feel a resentment towards it, and should like nothing better than to scatter its Congress to the winds. — But I have lived long enough to know that human resentment is a very bad foundation for a public policy; and these gentlemen will live long enough to learn it also. I shall do what I am ordered. I shall fight and where lam commanded. But if lam compelled to Jujht before / am ready , they shall not hold me responsible. These gentle men must take the responsibility of their acts, as lam willing to that of mine. But they must not throwr their responsibility on my shoulders.” Lieut. Col. Ripley.—We find the fol lowing with regard to this gallant officer in the Charleston Courier of yesterday : It is reported that Lieut. Col. R. S. Rip ley has resigned. Wc regret the causes which induced the step, but we cannot be surprised. Major Ripley was with us at a time and season when efficient friends were “friends indeed.” His experience and qualifications, and liis practical skill iu artillery, enabled him to do signal service at a time when we could uot well hare spared him. He has deserved well of this Common wealth, and of all who are charged with its interests either as a State, or as one of the “Confederate State.” That he has not been recognized by all in office as he deserved, will he considered by the people our misfor tune rather than his, if the icsuit is his resignation as reported. It may become our duty soon to comment on the causes which induced this and other acts of late occurrence. If the President should place Col. Ripley at the head of some Confederate brigade, iustead of inexperienced civilians, he will be doing justice to a meritorious officer and a service to the country. A Conneticut Senator Killed.-—L. \\ . 8. of the Mercury y says that Senator Foster, ot Connecticut, was une of the killed at Manassas, lie had come over to see the tight aud celebrate a victory, but in the pre cipitation of the flight his carriage was bro ken to pieces, himself shot, and Ely, his coin pan 10 u, taken prisoner. Incident* of the Fljt* l ** We clip the following from the reliable corre spondence of the Savannah Republican : I have already related some ot the gallant ex ploits of our Georgia bovs. Doubtless there are manv others, if 1 had time aud opportunity to trace them up. Charles M. Harper, of the Miller Kirtt-s, (Floyd county) is the hero of one of those oaring feats which, while they deserve to be banded down to posterity, will serve to illustrate the prowess of the southern army. During the dreadful fight in which the immortal Eighth was engaged he became separated from the Regiment, aud was finally taken prisoner by a squad of seven Federalists.- He submitted gracefully and volun tarily shared with them the contents of his can teen. When otie of his own Regiment passed within hailing distance, he would call to him to fall in, as it was all over with them. In this way and by the activity of his captors, some six or eight Georgians were captured. At length, Har per, having tipi the hint to his comrades, turned to his captors and said: “Gentlemen, one good turn deserves another, and as yo i have taken us prisoners, we row takejou piisoners—yield or die.” At the same time he and his friends pulled down their guns upon them. The Yankees think ing prudence the better part of valor, submitted with equal grace to their altered fortunes, and were marched otf by our boys, and delivered to Gen. Beauregard. Akin to this exploit is the feat performed by W. R. Oakley, a lad 17 years old, of Lauderdale county, Ala He, too, had been taken prisoner, and his feet and hands tied. He succeeded, after many efforts, in getling his hands loose, and then, with his knife he cut his shoes off and slipped the chain from his feet. He seized a gun and escaped from where he had been left. Meeting a Yankee, he ran his bayonet through him, in order to make him hold his tongue. He had not proceeded far before he discovered a Federal Colonel surveying the field from an eminence, and going up to him as if lie had been one of his own men, he put his bayonet against him, and said: “You are my prisoner.” It was Col. Corcoran, of the New York C'Jth (Irish) Regiment—one of the best in the Federal service. Oakley who, though quite young, is of full size, took his sword and carried him to Little Be&ury, who dubbed him Captain of a squad and ordered him to take Corcoran and a number of other prisoners into Manassas. An attache of the English embassey, at Wash ington, who was with the Federal army, and wit nessed the tight, has arrived in Richmond. During the progiess of the battle, he inquired of a num ber of officers what would be tlie result of the conflict. Each and all of them lell certain they would win the day, except one. “ Upon what do you base your opinion ?” inquired the Briton.— “ Upon this, sir,” replied the Federalist, “I have been watching these Southerners ever since the battle opened, I have seen divisions broken, and the brigades rallying and fighting alone. 1 have seen brigades broken, and the regiments rallying and fighting alone. I have seen regiments broken, and the companies rallying and fighting alone; and 1 have seen companies broken, and the men rallying and fighting alone. Such men, sir, will never be whipped.” His judgment has been abun dantly continued. Soldiers’ Relief Society. We extol the liberality of our people.

The Coast of Florida.—To the Editor of the New York Times:—l am glad to see in this morn ing's Times, that you are directing the attention of the Government to the State of Florida. Fernan dina offers peculiar advantages to the pirates that infest the Southern coast; it should at once be taken possession of by our Government. Capt. Coxeter, one of the pirates who has been so suc cessful, is a resident of St. Augustine, and formerly commanded a steamer that plied between Savan nah Htid the St. John’s liiver; he is quite aware that the whole of that part of the coast is unpro tected, and offers very desirable convenience for the disposal of the vessels he may capture. It might not be amiss to send a few men to take charge of the port of St. Augusiine, from which a large number of guns were stolen, even before the State passed an Ordinance of Secession, and carried to Pensacola and Fernaiidina. A small body of men could easily take possession of St. Augustine. It would be a salubrious and conven ient rendezvous lor our smaller vessels employed as a coast guard. lam well assured bv reliable persons, who are well acquainted with the State, that a very large majority of ita inhabitants would rejoice to sec the authority of the United States Government restored, and to be relieved from the usurped dominion of a band of conspirators, who now control the State, most of whom, from the Governor down, are natives of South Carolina. The Jeffersonian, a very respectable Democratic paper, published at West Chester, Pa., says that an ardent suppoiter of the present administration said to the editor of it, a lew days ago:—“lf,” -aid he, “we can only succeed in wiping out the South (sojie nine or ten millions of white men) the wives and sweethearts of the Confederates would not be so apt to turn up their notes at negro beans.” Decision of the Pontinuster General-Im portant to Nett Dealers aud Head ers. Confederate States of America, \ Postoffice Department, Contract Bureau, [■ Richmond, Virginia, July 18,1861, Sir: The legislation of the Government of the United States, so far as it relates to mailable mat ter and the rates of postage, aud the mode of transmitting mail matter, has been substituted by the legislation of the Confederate States and is thereby repealed. 1 Newspapers and periodicals, sent to ordinary subscribers for single copies, or for more than one copy or to news dealers who send large orders to supply subscribers of their own, or the general trade within the limits of the delivery of postof fices, other than at the place of publication, are equally mailable matter, and cannot be sent by mail carriers or express men without the payment of postage. They cannot be carried under our laws, as merchandize to suplv subscribers or the regular trade, except through the mails or by ex press or chartered companies, on the payment of the regular rates of postage. The object of our legislation was to declare wiiat should be mailable matter, and to require postage to be paid on such matter, so as to secure a suf ficiency of revenue to render the Post Office De partment self supporting. 11 the law be so con strued as to allow the transmission and delivery of papers by express companies or others, to subscri tiers or dealers at points Other than the place of publication, at a cost less the regular rates of post | age, it will at once ho seen that the Department : would loose much of its revenues ; and publishers, availing themselves of such an advantage over others sending their papers by mail as to injure the circulation of the latter or drive them to the same means of transmission. And the result would he, that the Express t’oinpanies would become the ■ rivals ot the Post Office Department, and deprive it of a large amount of its legitimate revenues, aud to that extent defeat the object bad iri view by Congress of making the department self-sustaining. This reasoning does not apply, however, to books of a pemanent character, other than periodicals sent in boxes or packages to merchants and dealers. Very respectfully yours, (Signed.) John H.

Now that we must roly on ourselves for our school books, and literature generally—it becomes a matter of interest to know who are our Southern authors, and what books we have printed and in MS. To meet this difficulty I propose to publish a complete catalogue of all Southern Books—with a descriptive title—the name and residence of the author, with such other information as will be de sirable in such a catalogue. To accomplish this object, I respectfully request all authors who have books printed or in Manu -1 script, whether miscellaneous, religious or school 1 books, to send me at once the title of their books, their full name, their address, and the terms on which their books can be bought, wholesale and retail, and where these books can be had. As soon as the necessary material can be pro cured the catalogue will be published. It will af ford authors means of bringing their books into notice, and at the same give the public an oppor tvnity of knowing what Southern authors we have and how their books can be had. Authors sending their names, kc., will enclose one dollar to assist in defraying the expenses of publication—tor which they will receive the value in catalogues when printed. If the work is not published the money will be refunded. Address J. W. BURKE, Book Agent, Macon, Ga. C onfederate Volunteer*, VI on roe < 0. OFFICERS. Captain—J. E. Ethridge. Ist Lieutenant—W. L.

Destruction Among Lincoln’s Soldiers.—The Washington correspondence of the New York Ex press, after a glowing discretion of Mr. Lincoln’s last levee before the great battle adds : There is a feature of military life now daily wit nessed in Washington, which should certainly be put a stop to, and which last night formed a sad contrast to the bright festivities of the Presidential mansion. 111 sight of the White House, within sound of the strains of gladsome music, the guests to and fro were stopped by American soldiers who posi tively begged for a cent. The majority of these men were not, as may be supposed, intoxicated, but were decent in appearance, and two of them, to my knowledge, were of good intellectual attain ments. This spectacle of beggary is now so common that a person, unless attired in uniform, cannot walk one hundred yards on the main streets of the Capital of the nation, without witnessing the hu miliating spectacle of the American soldier reduced to begging. W’hat may be the cause of this desti tution among the troops is not my province to en quire, but that it doese xist is a “ stubborn fact.” Dismissed Generals.— War Department, Ad jutant General's Ojfice, Washington, July 19, 1861.

THE JUVENILE SOLDIERS’ BELIEF SOCIETY, Is making arrangements to hold a fair next week at Concert Hall. We doubt not their patri otism will be most liberally patronized. I*nl>li* Heeling. The voters of Jones county, without reference to past party associations, are requested to meet in Clintonon the third Saturday in this month to se lect delegates to the Gubernatoral Convention to t>e held at Miledgeville on the 4th of September. August 2nd 1861. MANY VOTERS. :arwe have in our hands a sum of money for Mrs. McGregor, sent from Milledgeville, who has a son with the Baldwin Blues. We have not been able to ascertain her residence. Will she please send for the amount ? Will someone notify her? J3T” We have seen a letter from S. B. Bulkley, of the Macon Guards, who is now a prisoner iu Washington, to his father and mother. He says he is in good spirits and has been well treated. He says be was hit twice in the battle, but not wounded. Also says, that R. L. Gray of the same company is there, & prisoner. It would appear that he was separated from his company, and fight ing, as many others did, “on his own hook.” This was one of the great secrets of our success in the battle. If a regiment or company were broken or divided, each man, instead of retiring, took the responsibility to fight by himself. Wm. Garky, of the Macon Guards, who has beeu reported in the several lists of “ killed, wounded, prisoner and missing,” it now appears was severely wounded in the head and taken pris oner—afterwards fell in the hands of the Confede rates, and has since died of his wound. A letter from Mr. V. Menard, of that company has just been received, stating the facts, accompanied with bis watch, which was sent to his brother, F. P. Garey. LATE WAR NEWS, Ac. We have nothing of especial interest from our army in Virginia. The committee sent on from this city to look after the sick and wounded at tached to the Macon companies, have returned and report them well cared for and doing well.— Maj. Holmes, recently from Maj. Hardeman’s bat taliou, says the men are most exemplary in mor als and in excellent health. There was considera ble sickness in the third regiment—Col. Wright’s. The Richmond Examiner says: The Army of the Potomac is quiet and gradually extending its lines towards Washington and Alex andria. Palls Church, lately occupied as an en trenched position by the enemy, and distant three miles from Arlington, is in possession of a strong Confederate force, and constitutes our advanced post. We have intelligence of a battle in Missouri, in which our army under McCulloch, is said to have lost 600 and the enemy 900, and were routed.— We await particulars, with anxiety. We are com pelled for want of space to omit many interesting particulars, which shall appear next week. OUR MARKET FRUITS. The supply of Peaches, Apples, Grapes, Water melons, in short, every thing in the fruit line has not been exceeded, either in quantity or quality, in this region. It has been quite common to see at the same time, numbers of melons weighing between forty aud fifty pounds—many of these were from the farm of Asa E. Ernest, Esq., who on Saturday last, presented two in market, each weighing fifty-seven pounds. Some of these mel ons we have seen on their way to Norfolk. Also many other of our fruits. We have received a very fine specimen of Peaches from Solomon R. Johnson, Esq. They are probably the largest, as a lot, we have ever seen, and are of the very best quality for preserv ing. We are not acquainted with the variety, but it is one that would commend itself to general cultivation. From Mr. Greenville Wood, we have received a lot of very large and fine Pears, whose quality must be good, after a few days given them to ripen. THE OLD LEAVEN. We have heard much of late in regard to for getfulness of old party ties and issues. We hare promptly and full) ignored them ourselves, and had hoped others would do so. We have cordially given our humble and zealous support to every department of the Government, although the Ex ecutive and every member of his Cabinet are (im properly, we believe) from the ranks of our old po litical opponents. We venture the assertion, that the world has never presented a spectacle of great er magnanimity and disinterested patriotism, than the one exhibited by the old constitutional, con servative whigs and democrats of the South. Re sisting to the last the policy of separate State ac tion as a remedy for Governmental abuses and sec tional aggressions—believing that it would be less safe and effective than united and concerted action of all the aggrieved States—protesting against some of the devices and expedients by which a popular verdict was obtained—they nevertheless promptly acquiesced in that verdict and have been first and foremost in their labors and contri butions to render it effective. Their country in peril, they have not stopped to enquire who is re sponsible for this terrible state of things, but have nobly rallied to its rescue. In view of these facts, one would suppose that the old leaven of party proscription should have been purged from the people, or at least been suflfered to remain dormant until our calamities are over. This, however, it seems,ls not the case. The name of Dr. W. A. Mathews, of Fort Valley, having been suggested as a candidate to represent, in the next Legislature, the 23d Senatorial District, which is composed of Houston, Taylor and Craw ford, a writer, in the Telegraph , says, that “while I esteem the Doctor as a man, I do not admire him as a politician,and, therefore,could not support him,” Ac. Now we have no intimation of what are the wishes and intentions of Dr. Mathews upon this subject. Hut we should consider the District most fortunate in securing the services of so pure a patriot and experienced a legislator as that gentle man is known to be. We would, in the most kind and respectful manner, urge upon tjie people to discountenance all efforts to stir up old party feel ings and prejudices. Let us for once regard and treat each oilier as brethren, and support those for office who are most meritorious, without re gard to old party antecedents. Col. Dixon 11. Milks, 2d U. S. Infantry, who commanded the 5,000 Reserves at Centreville, has been arrested for drunkenness. The Cincinnati Commercial says he “is believed to be a sympa* thixer with secession,” and ought to be shot. The Ekeikld Rules. —The New Orleans Cres cent says there is not a particle of truth in the report that fifty thousand Enfield rifles bad armed l n that city from England. THOSE HANDCUFFS. An exchange thus explains the handcuff matter: “All large armies are troubled more or less with mutinous 9oldier c , and carry with them the means of subduiDg such in their own ranks. These hand cuffs were for this and no other purpose. Xerxes forced his barbarians to fight by the application of the lash. Scott, in Mexico, carried hand cuffs with bis army, and when certain men deserted, and were caught again, put irons on them, and had Catholic Chaplains called in to instruct them to stand firm, and do their duty.” We gladly acknowledge this solution of the matter. The general testimony of our soldiers, who have fallen into the hands of the enemy is, that they have been kindly treated. Enough ot bitterness on both sides already naturally exists, without multiplying or exaggerating the causes. It certainly upeaks badly for their cause and army when the enemy has to resort to such harsh and degrading means to keep soldiers in the service their country. V\ hat a pleasant contrast is pre sented by the Confederate Army. A NOBLE EXAMPLE. Robt. Orr, of Coweta, and Joseph E. Morrow, of Heard, have been proposed as candidates lor Tax Collectors of their respective counties, and pledge themselves to devote the salary accruing to them by virtue of that office to the relief and support of the volunteers from their county. Who will imi tate their patriotic example? If every Tax Col lector and county official, and official at Villedge ville were to do the same our volunteers would be abundantly provided for. — Telegraph. We have heard it urged also that our Judges and Attorney Generals should remit a part or the whole of their salary, particularly as they have performed but little official labor, and are not like ly to do so for some time to come. It is not every State or couuty official, however, that can do so iu justice to bis “ own household.” Those who are able and willing to indulge in such liberality will be commended for so doing, whilst those who are not should not be proscribed or censured. Asa general thing “ county officials” are not overbur dened with riches, and many worthy and compe tent men might be driven from office, to the det riment of the public interest, by adopting the poli cy recommended by our neighbor. In voluntary bestowments for the public weal every roan should be permitted to determine the measure of hia own ability. Map of the Seat of War.— We refer our read ers to the advertisement, in another column, of Mr. T. A. Burke, of Savannah, who is about to publish a map of the seat of war iu Virginia.— Such a map will prove of the highest value for reference, giving us a clear idea of the location of all important points. ARMS! ARMS!! Capt. Nolan, of the Confederate Army, visited our city last week, for the purpose of securing arms, such as rifles, double-barreled shot guns, Ac., either by gift, loan or purchase, from such ol our citizens, in every part of the State, as have them to spare. lie stated at a public meeting called to entertain and promote the object of his mission, that our cavalry were particularly in need of suitable arms. Capt. N. especially solicited the co-operation of the clergy, to urge upon their congregations the contribution of turplus arms, wherever it was practicable. A committee, com posed of all the ministers of this city, was appoint ed to take the matter into consideration. The committee, subsequently in consultation, ascer tained that the proclamation of Gov. Brown, of the 26th ult., covered the whole ground. Unwil ling to adopt any plan that might embarrass or conflict with the Executive recommendations, the committee addressed him a note, and have re ceived the following reply: Executive Department, i Atlanta, Aug. 2d, 1801. j Rev. E. IU. Barren Dear Sir: — l am directed to reply to your favor of July 31st, by stating that the Governor would be pleased to have the aid of the clergy of the State, in procuring arms from our citizens for the use of the volunteers who are tendering their services. He does not desire however to interfere with the success of Capt. Nolan, in obtaining guns, as he is now endeavoring to do. The Gov ernor is gratified by the iuterest manifested by you in this very important measure, and hopes that you and others will give this movement all the aid in your power. Very respectfully, W. H. HUNT, Aid de Camp. Rev. E. W. Warren, Macon, Ga. We doubt not, the clergy all over the State, will direct attention to this important subject, and give it the proper direction, and their hearty co-opera tion, iu promoting the mission of Capt. Nolan. The proclamation was published in our last. FOR THE JOURNAL ANI* MESSENGER. Messrs. Editors .—Bibb, Monroe and Pike, un der the new Constitution, form the 22d Senatorial District. As Bibb is first in alphabetical order, I take the liberty of suggesting that some one of her worthy citizens be selected a9 Senator. If vou will not deem it obtrusive, I will say that Barnard Hill, Eaq., of your city, would be acceptable, I think, to the constituency of all parties in the XXIId DISTRICT. W e publish the above at the suggestion and with the approbation of influential citizens of Monroe. If Col. Hill will serve it will afford us much pleasure to support him. We presume he would have no oyposition in Bibb, and probably none in the District.— Mess. P. S. We learn from Col. Trippe, that his mili tary duties will preclude him from serving as Senator a post he has filled with distinguished ability. Both he and Judge Cabiness are now actively engaged in raising and equipping men for the army. A Goon Arrangement.— The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company is about fitting up am bulance cars for transportation of sick and wound ed soldiers. These cars are intended to run all the way from Richmond to the Cape Fear river, and are to have easy lounges and hammocks. It is to be hoped that other railroad companies will follow the example. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: “ I learn that the following changes have been made among the general officers: Major Whiting has been made a General, and has taken command of the lamented Bee’s Brigade, and Col. John W. I ornev, of the 9th Alabamians, has been assigned command as a Brigadier General of the 9th, 10th, 11th Alabama, 38th Virginia and 11th Mississippi. Ben. Alls ton, of Charleston, has been appointed Majer of the latter Regiment, Col. Mott command ing.” __ Gen. Beauregard has caused three traitors to be hung recently, having received the most indubita ble evidence of their treachery. One of the par ties was an engineer on the Manassas Gap Railroad, another a preacher of the Gospel, and the third a farmer. They had all furnished valuable aid to the enemy. University of Virginia.— This venerable seat of learning has been converted into a hospital for the sick and wounded soldiers. The lecture rooms, dormitories, hotels and professors pavilions have all been made the receptacles of the unfortunate who were wounded at Manassas or taken down by disease. The Richmond Dispatch states that Col. John Pegram, who surrendered at the Rich Mountain fight to Gen. McClellan, was carried to Washing ton and ordered to be confined in Fortress Mon roe by Gen. Scott. He is now there. A correspondent of the Savannah Republican suggests the formation of a Regiment of Lawyers, as they must remain comparatively unemployed while the war lasts. In order to bring others to the fight, the North ern papers keep constantly reducing the Dumber of their killed, till they have got it to only 500. The more shame, then, that with so few killed, the the balance fled so hurriedly. Obsequies of General We learn from the Savannah of 29th, that an immense number of citi Wns soldiers attended the funeral of the lament.-rU * * Bishop Elliott, conducted the exercises in * ■ aud impressive manner. The procession and a mile iu length, and every avenue to was crowded with pedestrians, anxious to o!r position for beholding the last sad rites, “p e * publican says : “ The body of Col.

He says the cause of the Souther Confederacy is looking up in Prance, and he du. not entertain a doubt about our ultimate recogi. tion. AcrjutTAL of Capt.
