that a despatch was received here yesterday,

ARRESTED.—An individual calling himself
Harvey, was arrested by the police on Saturday-
evening last, while he was in the hands of sev
eral citizens who had previously arrested him,
for expressing sentiments in their hearing
which were altogether Inimical to our institu
tions. He was taken to the lock-up where he
was confined until yesterday morning, wheu he
was carried before Mayor Jones, who fully in
vestigated the case. It seems that Harvey was
under the influence of liquor at the time he
made use of-the expressions which caused his
arrest, and being, as he stated, a native of South
Carolina, he was ordered to be taken care of
until his departure for that State could be in
sured.

The Alleged Slaughter at Moultrie.—
At least one Republican press has ventured to
question the silly stories of a frightful mortali
ty at Fort Moultrie, and to reason upon prin
ciples of common sense in favor of its conclu
sions. An article from the N. Y. Times, to this
effect, will be found In our columns. It is a
pity the {Times cannot, or will not, argue as
reasonably on other questions of public con
cern.

Judge Fleming presiding, commenced its ses

The fifth article of the act incorporating this

'* The said corporation shall receive as depos

poposL, wlttreuch-inteTcst not le&s than four

Under this section of tho Charter, a number
of citizens have made deposits of sums of mo
ney, and have received certificates of deposits
bearing an interest of four per cent, after thirty
days* notice. This scrip will bo redeemed,
however, on presentation, when one dollar or a
larger sum is presented. In tho absence of
silver change, which appears all to havo disap
peared, this has been resorted to, to furnish a
substitute. #
We observe a number of these bill in circu

Report of tho Special Committee on
tlio State of tlie Country.
In Convention, May 13th, 1SS1, Dr. Richard
Fuller, of Md., from the Committee on the
State ol the Country, made the following
REPORT;-...
We hold this truth to be self evident, that
governments are established for phe security,
prosperity and happiness of the people. Wheu,
therefore, any government is perverted from
its proper design, becomes oppressive, and
abuses its power, the people have a right to
change it.
As to the States once combined upon this
continent, it Is now manifest that they can no
longer live together as one confederacy.
The Union constituted by our forefathers was
one of co-equal sovereign States. The fanati
cal spirit of the North has long been seeking
to deprive U6 of rights and franchises guaran
teed by the constitution ; and, after years of
persistent aggression, they have at last accom
plisbed their purpose.
In vindication of their sacred rights and
honor, in self-defence, and for the protection of
all which is dear lo man, the Southern States
have practically asserted the right of seceding
from a Union so degenerated from that estab
lished by the Constitution,and they have formed
for themselves a government based upon the
principles of the original compact—adopting a
charter which secures to each State its sover j
eign rights and privileges.
This new government, in thus dissolving
former political connections, seeks to cultivate
relations of amity and good will, with its late
confederates, and with all the world ; and they
have thrice sent special commissioners to
Washington with overtures lor peace, and for
a Mr* amicable, .adjustment of all difficulties,
repeuea tnesc nSfiSoTmoic proposals, and now
insists upon devastating our land with lire and
sword, upon letting loose hordes of armed sol
diers to pillage and desolate the entire South,
for the purpose of forcing the seceded States
back into unnatural Union, or of subjuga
ting them and holding them as conquered prov
inces.
While the two sections of the land are thus!
arrayed against each other, it might naturally
have been hoped that at least the churches of
the North would interpose and protest against
this appeal to the sword, this invoking of civil I
war, this deluging the country in fratricidal
blood ; but with astonishment and grief we
find churches and pastors of the North breath
ing out slaughter, and clamoring for san
guinary hostilities with a fierceness which
we would have supposed impossible among
the disciples ol the Prince of Peace. Ini
view of such premises, this Convention!
cannot keep silence. Recognising the necessity!
thatrthe whole moral influence of the people,
in whatever capacity or organization, should bel
enlisted in aid of the rulers, who, by theirl
suffrages have been called to defend the en
dangered Interests of person and property, of
honor and liberty, it is bound to utter its voice
distinctly, decidedly, emphatically ; and your
JCoramittec recommend, therefore, the sub-j
joined resolutions:
1 1st. Resolved, That impartial history cannot
charge upon tho South the dissolution of the
Union. She was foremost in advocating and
cementing that Union. To that Union she
clungjthrough long years of calumny, Injury and
insult. She has never ceased to raise her warn
ing appeals against the fanaticism which
Ilia-* obstinately and Incessantly warred against
that Union.
2d. Resolved, That we most cordially approve
of the formation of the Government of the Con-
Ifedcrate States of America, and admiro and ap-
fplaud the noble cause of that government up to
|thi.s present time.
3d. Resolved, That we will assiduously invoke I
the Divine direction and favor iu behalf of]
those who bear rule among us, that they mayl
still exercise the same wise, prompt, elevated
statesmanship which has hitherto character
ized their measures ; that their enterprises may
be attended with success ; and that they may
attain a great reward, riot only In seeing these
Confederate States prosper under their admin-1
listratiou, but in contributing to tho progress of
Lh«* transcendent Kingdom of our Lord Jesu&j
Christ.
1 4th. Resolved, That we most cordially tender
to the President of the Confederate States, to
his Cabinet, and to tho members of the Con
gress now convened at Montgomery, tho as
surances of our sympathy and entire confidence. I
With them are our hearts and our hearty co
operation.
5th. Resolved, That the lawless reign of (error
at the North, the violence committed upon un
offending citizens, above all, the threats to
wage upon the South a warfare of savage bar
barity, to devastate bur homes and hearts with
hosts of ruffians and felons, burning with lust
and rapine,ought to excite the horror of all civil
ized people. God forbid that we should so far
llorget the spirit of Jesus as to suffer malice and
vindictiveness, Co insinuate themselves into our
hearts ; but every principle of reiigiou, of pa
triotism, and of humanity, calls upon us to
pledge our fortunes and lives in the good work
ol repelling an invasion designed to destroy
whatever is dear in our heroic traditions; what
ever is awed in our domestic hopes and enjoy-
jments; whatever is essential to our institu
tions aud our very manhood; whatever Is worth
living or dying for.
Gth. Resolved, That we do now engage in
prayer for our Friends. Brothers, Fathers, Sous,
and' Citizen Soldiers, who have left their homes
to go forth for tho defense of their families aud
friends and all which is dearest to the human
heart; and we recommend to the Churches re
presented in this body, that they constantly
invoke a holy and merciful God to guard them
from the temptations to which they are expos
ed to cover their head in the day of battle, and
to give victory to their arms.
7th. Resolved, That we will pray for our ene
mies In the spirit of that Divine Master, who
“when ho was reviled, reviled not again,” trust
ing that their pitiless purposes may be frustrate
ed, that God will grant to them a inure politic,
a more considerate aud a more Christian mind;
that tho fratricidal strife which they have decid
ed upon, notwithstandingall our commissions
and pleas for peace—may be arrested by that Su
preme Power, who inaketh the wrath of man
to praise him ; and that thus, through a divine
blessing, the prosperity of these sovereign and
once allied States, may be restored antler the
two governments to which they now and hence
forth respectively belong.
8th. Resolved, Wo do recommend to thel
Churches of the Baptist denomination iu thel
Southern States, to observe the first and second
days of June, ns days of humiliation, fasting and
prayer to Almighty God, that he may avert any
calamities due to our sins as a people, and
may look with mercy and favor upon us.
9th. Resolved, That whatever calamities may
come upon us, onr firm trust and hope arc iu
God, through the atonement of his Sou, and we
earuestly beseech the churches represented in
this body,—(a constituency of six or seven hun
dred thousand Christians,)^—that they be fervent
and Importunate in prayer, not only for the
country, but for the enterprises of the gospel
which have been committed to our caro.—
In the war of tho Revolution, and in the war of
1812. the Baptist bated no jot of heart or hope for
the^Redeemcr’s cause. Their zeal and liberality
abounded in their deepest afflictions. We be
seech tho churchea to cherish tho spirit and
iinitato tho example of this noble array of
saints and horocs; to be followers of them,!
who, through faith and patience inherit the
promises; to be steadfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in tho work of tho Lord, for as
much as they know that their labour is not in
vain in the Lord.
10. Resolved, That these resolutions be com
municated to the Congress of the “ Confederate
States” at Montgomery, with the signatures
of the President aud Secretaries of the Conven
tion.

Oyj^ICIAXi REPO RT
OF THE
BOMBARDMENT ASD SURRENDER
~ OF
FORT SUMTER.
(CONCLUDED.)
I commend in the highest terms the gallantry
of every one under my command, and it is with
diffidence that I will mention any corps or
names, for fear of doing lojnstice to those not
mentioned, for where all have done their duty
well, It is difficult to discriminate Although
the troops out of the batteries benring on Fort
Sumter were not so fortunate as their comrades
working the gUDS and mortars, still their ser
vices were equally as valuable and as commen
dable, for they were on their arms at the Chan
nel Batteries, {and at their posts and bivouacs,
and exposed to severe weather, and constant
watchfulness, expecting every moment, and
ready to repel, reinforcements from the power
ful fleet off the bar; and to all the troops under
my command, I award much praise for their
gallantry and the cheerfulness with which they
met the duties required of them. I feel much
indebted to Generals R. G. M. Dunovant and
James Simons, and their Staffs, especially Ma
jors Evans and DeSaussure, S C. A., command
ing on Sullivan’s and Morris’ Islands, for their
valuable and gallant services, and the discre
tion they displayed in executing the duties de
volving on their responsible positions. Of
Lieut. Col. R. 8. Ripley, 1st Artillery Battalion,
Commandant of Batteries on Sullivan’s Island,
I cannot speak too highly, and join with Gen
eral Dunovant, his immediate Commander,
since January last, in commending in the
highest terms*his sagacity, experience and un
flagging zeal. I would also mention in the
highest terms of praise Captains Calhoun and
flalfonqutet, Assistant Commandants of Bat
teries to Colonel Kinlev. And tim-jfolkroinc
Uapt. J. R. Hamilton, Commanding the Float-
iug Buttery and Dahtgren Gun ; Capts. Butler,
S. C. A., aud Bruns, Aido-de-Cnrnp to Gen.
Dunovant, and Licuts. Wagner, Rhett, Yates,
Valentine and Parker.
To Lieut. Col. W. G. DeSaussure, Second
Artillery Battalion, Commandant of Batteries
on Morris’ Island, too ranch praise cannot be
given. He displayed the most untiring energy,
and his judicious arrangement, and the good
management of his Batteries, contributed much
to the reduction of Fort Sumter.
To Major Stevens, of the Citadel Academy, in
charge of the Cummings’ Point Batteries, I feel
much indebted for his valuable and scientific
assistance, and the efficient working of the Bat
teries under his immediate charge. The Cum
mings’ Point Batteries (iron—42 pounders and
mortars) were manned by the Palmetto Guard,
Captain Cuthbcrt, and I take pleasure iu ex
pressing m3* admiration of the service of the
gallant Captain and his distinguished company
during the action. I wonld also mention in
terms of praise the following Commanders of
Batteries at the Point, viz: Lieutenants Arm
strong, of the Citadel Academy, and Brown
field, of ilic Palmetto Guard, also, Captain
Thomas, of the Citadel Academy, who had
charge of the rifle cannon, and had the honor
of using this valuable weapon—a gift of one
of South Carolina’s distant sons to his native
State—with peculiar effect.
C»pt. J. G. King, with his Company, the
Marlon Artillery, commanded the Mortar Bat
tery in rear of the Cummings’ Point butteries,
and the accuracy of his shell practice was tho
theme of general admiration. Capt. George S.
James, commanding at Fort Johnson, had the
honor of firing the first shell at Fort Sumter,
and his conduct, aud those under him, was
comtncudable during the action. Capt. Mar
tin, S. C. A., commanded the Mount Pleasant
Mortar Battery, and, with his assistants, did
good service. Fora more detailed account of
the gallantry of officers and men, and of the
various incidents of the attack on Sumter, I
would respectfully invite your attention to the
copies of the reports of 'the different officers
under my command, herewith enclosed. I cau-
not close ray report without reference to the
following gentlemen : To his Excellency Gov
ernor Pickens and Staff—especially Cols. Lamar
and Dearing, who were so active and efflcientl
in the construction of tho Channel Batteries;
Cols. Lucas and Moore, for assistance on vari
ous occasions, and Col. Duryea and Mr. Nathan.
Chief of the Fire Department, for their gallant
assistance in putting out the fire at Fort Sum-l
ter, when the magazine of the latter was in
imminent danger of explosion. General Jami

praise cannot bo bestowed for their un

whose labors is greatly due the unprecedented
example of taking such a a important work,I

to report the loss of a single life, and but tour]

Whiting I derived also much assistance not

Much has been said of late about the fighting
propensities of our county, particularly by Ilis

against him, and would do so again, an oppor

I will state that yesterday I was at Hamilton,
(the county site) and witnessed quite a mili

by Miss Bedell, accompanied with a patriotic
and eloquent address. Several speeches were
made—the tenor of all was resistance to the last*
Two full companies have been formed, and re
ceived by the Governor, and await only to be
furnished with Yankce-klllcrs and knapsacks,
before marching to any point the President may
designate. The third company is being formed
by the cavalry who have disbanded, and intend
forming a company which the Governor will re
ceive. Their Captain (Mr. Davenport) said in
his address, yesterday, that if the Governor
wonld not let him ride to the field of battle,
that he would walk. After the speeches were
made, a subscription was presented to the eiti-
zers for the benefit of the troops leaving, and
$6,000 were subscribed,and all our purse strings
open and ready to honor any draft the nec&»L

are ready and w illing to do our share of the

will rise in arms to drive back the Republican

Our Preparations lor Defeuce.
In r eply to inquiries on this subject, we have
no means of stating with certain accuracy the
number of well-armed troops now in the ser
vice of Virginia. Besides seventy-five thousand
Virginia troops armed to the teeth, there is a
large number of Southern soldiers variously!
estimated at from fifteen to thirty thousand,
now here and on their way to tho field of action’.
In addition to this, the entire male population
of the State, from ten years of age to eighty,
have arms and are eager to lend their aid in
guerilla or any other kind of warfarethnt may be
necessary. The celebrated Texas Rangers, Ben
McCulloch, with his Texas mounted men, is
said to be on hand, but obvious considerations
suggest that we should not mention his locali-

* In the last sad issue which is forced upon
us,” says Dr. Stevens, “there can be lor us but
one manly, but one houorable, ai*e but one
Christian course; and that is to uphold and de
fend to the last the Government of the United
States. However much one may oppose the
principles of the dominant political part}*;
however inueJi one may que>tion and even con
demn the acts and policy of the administration;
however much one may sympathize with the
people of the South, in the rnaiutainance of
their rights, as guaranteed to them b>* the Con

political, or sectional, or >ocial views and pre
judices, is now, under the issue of to-day, the
dut}* of every man to plant himself firmly on
the side of the Government which protects him,
defend it with all tlio agencies which he can
command, if need be, fall in its defence. The
lines of demarcation are boldly, broadly drawn;
every citizen must ruuge himself on one side or

that it is understood to-day that Uol. Mansfield,
U. 8. A., the military commandant here, has

A Board of U. S. Naval Officers is believed to
havo been ordered to Europe y-esterduy on spe

Wan tlie Victory Bloodless l
The following is an extract from a private
letter received yesterday by a gentleman in this
cit}* from a friend iu Rochester:
“ William Robb, son of John Robb, on Pratt
street, has just come from Charleston. Fie was
pressed into the service of the rebels, and was
in Fort Moultrie during the bambardineut of
Fort Sumter, escaping in the. hold of a vessel in
tho contHsiow after Anderson e vacuated the fort.
He says the rebels lost a great oiang lives,and that a oat l»u> i»hUwd*l»bia' 7th i^t t.. repair, having e
hundred fell in Moultrie at Vic JirZ jrcfrom Fort •***>. v-al-h «rao* tetaaw*
Sumter.*’
From various other quarters come similar
statements, though we believe that as yet no
person, of known character and standing, has
under his own signature, and of his own per
sonal knowledge made these assertions. All the
statements are at second or third liaud, except
in one or two Instances. The captain of a
schooner from Charleston, for example, assert
ed on his arrival here, that during the first
night after the bombardment, a hundred and
sixty dead bodies were carried across Ills deck.
This, however, was at once flatly contradicted
by the mate of the same vessel, who declared
that nothing of the kind took place.
It seeius almost incredible,we are aware, that
Fort Sumter should fire upon the surrounding
forts and batteries lor thirty-three hours, with
oat causing some loss of life. But it is proved
to bo not Impossible, by the fact that Fort
Sumter did actually sustain a far heavier lire
from ten times as many guns, for the same
length of time, and }’ct not a life was lost.—
Fort Sumter, to be sure, was better protected
than the other fort*, but this protection was by
no means perfect.
One of the officers iu Fort Sumter mentioned
to us a circumstance which may render the re
ported escape of the rebels less remarkable.—
lie states that whenever Fort Sumter opened
upon a battery, that hatter}* never replied.—
The men serving it went to another, and the
batteries were so numerous as to render this
easy, because Fort Sumter, for lack of men,
could attack but ouu or two at a time.
We confess it seems to us incredible that, if
there was the reported loss of life, it should
have been denied by the authorities, and con
cealed from the people of the south. If men
were killed, at least thousands of survivors
must have known the fact. How is it possible
to impose silence upon so many persons, and
upon the relatives of the victims * How, in
the face of so many witnesses, would the Gov
ernor of the Suite, the President of the Confed
eracy, and all the other authorities, high and
low, dare to assert that no life was lost, anrl
that tho victory was bloodless ? They would
be liable at any moment to be flatly contradict
ed from a thousand quarters. Besides, what
have they to gain by such a falsehood ? It can
have no effect upon the North, while at the
soutfi its detection would be certain to aronse
the most intense indignation among the people
whom they hud sought to deceive.
Wo confess that amidst the conflicting iin
probabilities of the case, we are inclined li
believe tho orginal reports, aud that no lives
were lost. As yet we have certainly seen no
evidence that seems conclusive on tl e otbe
sida—iV. Y. Times,

Is u concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so com
bined with other substances of sill greater alterative
power as to afford an effective antidote for the diseases
Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. Such a remedy is sure
ly wanted by those who nuff-r from Strumous
comj>laints, and that one which will accomplish their
cure musf. prove of Immense service to this large class
of our afflicted feliow-citusens. How completely this
compound will do iLtxasoeen proven by experiment
on many of tho worst cases to be found in the follow
ing complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and
Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tu*
mors. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic
A flections, Mercurial Disease, Drepsy, Neuralgia, or
Tic Doulourex. Debi icy. Dyspepsia and indigestion.
Erysipelas, Rosa or St Anthony's Fire, and indeed
the whola class .f complaints arising from Impurity o
the B’ooiL
This compound wil! be found a great promoter of
health, wh«-n taken in the sprint, to expel the foul
humors which fester in the blood nt that season of the
year. By the timely expulsion of them, many rankline
disorders are nipped in the bu t. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themsetvea from the en
durance of foul eruptions and n--erous sores, through
which the system will strive to nd itself of corruptions,
if not assisted to do this through the natural channels
of the body by aa alterative medicine. Cleanse out
the vitiated blood whenever yon find its impurities
bursting throntb the skin in pimples, eruptions, or
sores; cleanse it whenever It is foal, and you find It is
obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when
ever it Is foul, and your feelings will tell you when.
Even where no particular disorder is fek, people enjoy
better health, and live longer, for cleansing the Wood.
Keep the bl*»od healthy, and all U well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be ao lasting
health. Sooner or later something must go wrong,
and the great machinery of life is disordered or over
brown.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract *f
Saisaparilia for one dollar: Most of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little,
if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no ouratire properties
whatever. Hence, Wtter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extract* of Sarsap
arilia which flood the market, until the name UseL i
Justly doepis^d. and has become synonymous with ira
position and cheat. Still we call this compound Sar
saparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall
rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rest*
upon it. And we think we have ground .for believing
it has virtue* which are irresistible by the ordinary run
of the diseases it is intended to euro.
