ordered on p*‘ _ ' p< j.-om which
verv hifihi cotuW ! , ,
the famL; battle Held, the -.cm,’*
and a varied and beantliul c xteut of country,
are plainly visible, Ihe battle 01 Tuesday,
July Ist, was not on Malvern Hill proper, hut a
mile in advance, or north of it.
At its base ruu3 Turkey Island creek. The
enemy could not advance in tins direction with
any certainty of success. The place was re
garded as very strong, and the only source of
uneasiness was The possibility of a flank move
ment on our left, hy which, if successful, the
enemy could easily gain our rear, before we
could become aware of if. But strorg picket
posts were on the left, and our regiment felt
perfectly secure —so much so, indeed, that par
ties were out far in advance, buying chickens,
vegetables, <fcc. Five companies were held in
reserve—the rest took post in advance.
Tuesday morning opened .bright and clear,
and our boys felt as secure, as free from attack or
surprise, as on the day previous, when sudden
ly there appeared two brigades and some cav
alry advancing slow!y in front. Our posts were
driven in, and line of battle formed on Malvern
Hill. No order came to fall back, and our boys
were going to give them battle any way. The
enemy’s artillery soon opened on our rear, and
judge of their amazement when our men dis
covered a brigade of Yankees, eight pieces of
artillery, and cavalry in their rear. The pickets
on our left had lot them pass without giving us
notice. The artilleryfigbt was terrific. Not
much wa3 done with muskets. Our battery was
turned towards our camps, and fought a superi
or battery until they expended the last round.
We had only three pieces—they had C’ght.
Major Pickett was in command. In this di- #
lemma, what was to be done ? Novelief could
reach us, for we were surrounded. The ugly
gunboats were belching their huge shells at us,
but fortunately their range was too high, and
their huge shells exploded i:i the Federal ranks.
The forces were steadily closing in around the
Seventeenth when Major Pickett gave the com
mand to fall back in good .order towards The
only place where there was the least chance of
escape. This was a pars not. more than one
hundred and fifty yards wide, south of Malvern
Hill, and this pass was commanded by the ene
my’s batteries. The boys say they had fully
m;de up their minds to take a trip to Fortress
Monroe or Fort. I> !.>w re, for it looked like
. madness itf'tbe extreme for three hundred and
• fifty men to light against, three Thousand.
But, as good luck would have it, the Eighth
Georgia Regiment, ordered to relieve our regi
ment on post, came up in the “nick of time”
and saved us. The Yankee battery seeing the
“Eighth,” and fearing it was an attempt to cut
them off, limbered up and “slsf-daddled,” to use
their own elegant language. This opened the
gap, and the Seventeenth r. ade good time in
passing through it.
As they reached the long narrow, '•ut straight
passage, the enemy brought five pieces into
position, and threw grim- hot and canister (to
use the men’s expression,) “by the hat-full,”
hut their elevated position e - used, them to
overshoot their mat it, and our regi mom es
caped without injury. We then took position j
in the rifle pits mar our camps, and calmly
awaited the advance of ilie enemy, who did
not come further than Malvern Hill.
It is supposed that they made this sudden*
Tald upon the hill for the purpose of recovering
buried arms, for whew Gen. Loogstreet, the fol
lowing day, advanced* to storm their strong
hold. they fell back without resistance.

Mach of this sutler, eg cannot be helped—
much of it might- it we bad gent’emen— men who
can rightfully, boast a heart and human ; feel,
lags, controlling oor hospitals. In many in
stances this is true; but we have hundreds of
r.arrow-souled, indifferent devils, glittering in
gold lace, and disporting fine grey uniforms,
who care uot if every patient in their jurisdic
tional iimits dies. Nay, they would rather hear
they were dead, and out of the, way ! They
never see one die. The noble, patriotic youth
of the South leave, ail they value ns worth liv
ing ior, come, to Virginia, endure untold hard
ships in the field, in bloody battles, In camp,
until wounds or disease force them to seek re
lief in enr Hospitals Hospitals ! In hospitals,
rather, would seem a more appropriate name.
Here, some of them arc fortunate enough to
get good attention, and some recover; but oh !
how many enter those portals of death never to
leave thtm! The red tape, ceremonial scoun
drels —a milder name would be a mockery—
those careless, heartless leeches, pay them a
formal visit, look at their tongues, feel their
pulse, and perhaps prescribe a blue pill or Do
ver’s powder, or something of that sort, and
leave their patients for twenty-four hours.
Does not common s-.nse suggest that a patient,
particularly in violent cases, must be visited
fr; queutly, constantly? On their next visit
they find‘many of their patients cither dead or
puff recovery—sinking under a burning fever,
raving like a maniac. Not the least spark of
sympathy Is seen to light up their hard faces.
Little care they whether the patient lives or
dies, so they can get big salaries, and display a
brilliant uniform. Oh, what a terrible reckon
ing these demons will meet! They ought to
be known to the people at home, so that they—
the fathers and relatives of the victims—can
visit a just punishment upon them when the
war cases. If they have any sculs, they are al
ready damned—they should be socially and po
litically damned by the people at home.
Ido not wish to be considered censorious. I
am only endeavoring to expose an evil which
has riven thousands of loving, trusting, confid
is pearls at home, and came near murdering
the best half of our noble army. If I bad the
power, the worst of them—the quacks—should
hang as a warning, and the' remainder should
be sent home in disgrace to be conscripted, by
which means they could have the pleasure of
luffing a few of the sufferings lhy have wan
tonly heaped upon others. Hundred* of them
who know no more about medicines than a
gopher, get places in our hospitals lo keep out
of the ranks.
As an example of tlu-ir neglect, a poor fellow
had his two middle fingers- shot off For four
days his hand was not dressed; it mortified, and
it became necessary to take the arm off above
the elbow, and for some time it was feared that,
amputation near the shoulder would become
necessary. Ten minutes lime devoted to am
putating his shattered fingers would have saved
his arm"; and enabled the soldier to eoutiuue in
the service. This was a case of flagrant neglect
of duty, and the truth of thG statement Is
vouched for by one who I know will not make
a misstatement.
.The Captain of the Fauquier Artillery speaks
iu the highest terms of tUa coolness and gal
lantry o! the Seventeenth at Malvern HT,where
they and his battery were surrounded. He says
he wants no other regiment to support his bat
tery in tlie hour of danger. He meets the offi
cers of our regiment with a cordiality amount
ing to enthusiasm, which shows how highly he
appreciates their services. Although the enemy
were ten times as strong, he say* he believes
the Seventeenth would have fought them until
crushed by weight of numbers.
Gen Toombs’ brigade—in fact the division,
Gen. I). R. Jones—moved this morning, whore
I will not say. They have gone where they are
needed, and where they will be h -ard from.
Richmond is unusually dffil. There is noth
ing to disturb the reigning monotony. All the
mercantile fraternity have supplied themselves
with very convenient articles —elastic consciences!
They can now ask you §35 for a common pair of
boots Without a blush. They charge you the
following very moderate prices: 15 cents for
common cigars ; $1 per doz*n for peaches; $3
to $3 for watermelons ; $L 25 for butter; $1 25
for chickens (as large as partridges,) &c., &e.
And what is strange, the markets are fall. Dry

The Yankee Press North and the troops at
Port Royal are bn their heads about a fleet of
rams, which the irrepressible rebels have been
fitting out in the port of Savannah. Tho whole
thing is a profound puzzle to them; one mo

Hilton Head, S. C , Aug. 4, 1802.
REPORTS FitOM CONTRABANDS.
The latest intelligence from the ram is of
questionable truth. Three negroes, who came
direct from Savannah, report to Col. Barton, at
Pulasßi, that tee Fingal is-a failure. 1 bey pro
fess to have Seen ou hoard of her and know all
about her. They say her bull is unseawoyby,
that her engines will not work, and that her
guns cannot tie elevated. They represent her
as in every way an abortion.
THE RAM STILL EXPECTED.
Af. the very hour these “ highly intelligent ”
contrabands were rehearsing their narrative,
the Fingal was in sight o! Pulaski, under full
luad ot steam, plying up and down Ihe Savan
nah river. The negroes nndoubtedlv came at
the bidding of their masters, and their story is
i.eyond question intended as a decoy to allay
defensive preparations on our part. These
rumors have had the tffec-t somewhat to alle
viate the fevor of excitement, into which we
were suddenly thrown; but Admiral Dupont
still awaits and still expects the Fingal. His
own information is positive and conclusive.
To the same.polut we copy the following edi
torialfrom the Times of the 9ch:
Peril to Ouit Troops in South Carolina
Our special correspondents with the army and
navy on the coast of South Carolina and G
gia, send us highly exciting accounts, which
we print this morning, of tho extreme peril of
our troops and ships under command of Gen.
Hunter and Admiral Dupont. It seems that
Lite great ratn at Savannah, ou which the rebels
have been at work for a long time, is complet
ed, and ha* oi late been frequently in sight
from the wails of Fort Pulaski, moving about
i.udi r an easy head of steam ;• she threatens to
come down, run past Fort Pulaski, destroy our
fleet at Hilton Ilead and thereabouts, and oper
ate against our works and o'ur troops on the
sea islands. If she succeeds ih crushing our
wooden gunboats—as all onr past experience
With iron clad rebel rams shows she is likely
enough to do—the rebels will have obtained an ,
unmolested crossing for tlis rafts which they
are known to have been bu ily building of late
in every creek and bayou along the shore; and
our well posted correspondent thinks they will
in all human probability be enabled to wrest
baek from us every foot of ground now under
the Union flag in ‘South Carolina aud Georgia.
It la, the opinion of those best ioformed t' at
the Savannah ram is only delaying the begin
ning of her work until the large rebel land
force, massed on the railroad at points not-far
'distttM from Hilton Hea- 1 , Is in readiness to
cross foyer and co-operate with her.
It is ft disgraces to us that they should have
been allowed for a moment to euter.rdn such
lioffes, or to bejgn the working out .of such a
project A .-.n..!- iron-clad fla, ou our side
down there, would put our position out of
pyrii, and it may be, would save us
of men and millions of property. Is there any
reason under Heaven tjby we should not be
able to razee old ships, ‘ plate them With rail
road iron, put a enou' on then?, and send them
forth to battle, as well as the rebels ? Js there
an v cause that we should not be able to build
two such concerns to their one, or ten to their
one ? When we knew they were at work plating
the Fingal. wlnit hindered ns from plating two
Fingals in half the time ? It makes no matter
now what hindered us,: hut if the Navy Depart
ment have any sort of an iron-clad floating
thing ready, or half ready they had better de -
patch it to' Hilton Head before wc hear of furih
; er disasters.
It appears that this ram Is quite a different af
fair from the Savannah‘‘Ladies’ Gunboat,” of
which we Wave heard more or less for a year
; past. It's the British steamer Fingal. which ran
[the blockade laden with arms iu the Spring,
; now razeed and thoroughly mailed, so as to be
j impenetrable to shot, iiu! mounting fourteen

■ a mere scarecrow ; for some of our ships have
be.n close enough to her to de-cribe her pretty
! minutely, aud their observations are furthen
j confirmed by other equally indubitable evi
dence.

St. Sumond’r, Ga., July 10, 18G2.
This Island is about twelve miles loDg, and
three wide. It. contains twelve plantations,
and had about 1,200 slaves. T. Butler King,
one of the arch Rebels, and among the first
Commissioners to Europe to secure foreign
recognition of the Southern Confederacy, has a
beautiful plantation on the south west side, and
near the light-house. Ho had 150 negroes.
The old cabins for his people were very inferi
or and uncomfortable. Back from the shore,
some two miles, he has a row of cabins, built
of shells and lime, far surpassing, for neatness
and comfort, anything I have yet. seen in the
South. The houses are 18 feet by 48 feet, with
a wail partition and chimney in the centre, ma
king two apartments. Each of them is divided
by a plank ceiling, into two rooms. The “loft”
makes a very comfortable room. The floors
are good, and the apertures for light atjd air
large. 1 here are six of these double houses,
each about lour rods distant from the others,
ard designed to accommodate twelve families.
Around all, and between them, is a row of
beautiful shade trees ot live oak. The planta
tion of Pierce Butler is also on this island. He
had, it is said, 450 slaves. Nowhere, however,
can be found such accommodations for the
slaves as are found on King’s plantation. At
the takiDg of Hilton Head, the Rebels had
15,000 troop3 quartered here, protected by a
strong masked battery near the light-house.
On hearing of the terrible destructiveness of
our gunboats at Hilton Head, they immediately
abandoned this island. All the people forced
their slaves to follow them. The island had
Been almost without an inhabitant for two
months, when the naval officers took possession
of it.
About forty of the former slaves have found
their way backhand by the friendly aid of our
naval officers, some 150 more, after encounter
ing, in mauy instances, almost i> .redible
hardships and sufferings, travelling oy night
from 10 to 100 miles, wading swan ps, swim
ming many rivers, not unfrequently fired upon
by Rebel pickets, succeeded in reaching, ex
hausted and ragged, this friendly island. The
colony has been under the exclusive care of
the Navy, and has thus far paid its own way.
,(Japt. Goldsborougb, of the Florida, in com
mand of this station, aided by Copt. CodVn,
of the Mohican, has directed the labors oi the
people. They have gathered 25,000 pounds of
cotton, planted 150 acres of corn, and' many
acres pf vegetables of various kinds. A school
of fifty scholars has been sustained, being
taught by one of the marines from the gun
boat Flo.ida, Mr. Edward Herron, of New
York. He had but one spelling book for the
entire school for two months. We had for
tunately brought a good supply for him. The
children presented every shade of color, from
apparently fair white to true black Their pa
rentage embraced the lowest type of the Atri
can and the highest type of Southern chivalry.
There were sons and daughters of honorable
(?) Senators, Generals, Commodore.-, merchant
princes, and lordly planters.
On Saturday, with the aid of Capt. Goids
berough, we distributed among the destitute
seven barrels of clothing sent down by the Na
tiopal Freeman’s Relief Association. Lan
guage utterly L..is to describe properly the ex
tent and urgency of the wants of this people.
Could the friends io the North, who have
generously supplied wardrobes, witness the
eagerness and thankfulness with which even
one garment is received, and hear the “Go 4
bless you, mas’r” showered upon us, and thefi
see how many are obliged to go away in their
poverty, without anything, they would not,
eould not, miss the blessing promised
by our Bvionr, “It is more blessed to give
than to receive.” The number on this island
will soon reach, in ail probability, a thousand.
Who will furnish garments for the six hun
dred to arrive in their destitution ?
Captain Goldsborough announced to all the
people on Saturday that there would be preach
ing at 4 o’clock on Sabbath afternoon, and to
be followed by the baptism of children. In the
morning we preached on board the Florida.
At 4 p. m. the congregation assembled in front
ot the mansion of T. Butler King. The olive,
o ik, mulberry, and cedar cast their cooling
shadows over the people ; while all around, the
fig trees, the bananas, the oleanders, the pome
granates, by their ripe lruits or gorgeous flow
| ers, enriched the scene. Our pulpit was the
j steps of the mansion. On our right sat Capt.
S.; while in the rear, upon the verandah, were
some ten or twelve naval officers. Iu front was
my congregation, some silting iu chairs, some
on boards, ele.yated by Waxes, but most of
them sitting on'the sweet, clean grass. All ia
ture seemed to have don* the best to make; lie
! hour and place delightful and impressive. One
| hymn was sung, and being lined, mo3t of the
| congregation joined in singing. It was heav
enly music, such as angels hovering around
might enjoy. Prayer as offered, and one text
j announced This was in Ezra 9—B, 9. We beg
our readers to turn lo it. As tho Lord is wit
ness, there was free speech, a free pupit, in
Georgia on that occasion. We take no credit
to ourselves, however, for while we had the
Lord on our side, we had also, lying out in the
Sound before ns, the Florida, Taut Jones, Mad
gie, Darlington, &c., on whose decks were
some thirty black dogs of waT, whose barking
and bite had driven the Rebels away, ar.d added
no little of the grace of boldness to us. But
the poor colored man heard ihe truth, “the full
Gospei,” as many testified.
But a richer scene was yet to ensue. When
the call for parents to bring forward their chil
dren for baptism was made, the numbers great
ly surprised tis. Ail were arranged in tw,o rows,
beginning at the step3 of the house and extend
ing down each side of the broad and beautiful
walk leading to the front gate. Oa our right;
then a mother with so many of her children
stood a lather and mother, with five children as
she could rescue from slavery ; and then, per
haps.a father, with the two or three children,
and their grandmother, in the place of the poor
mother, who had been sold. Oa the other side
were children presented by relatives or stran
gers, the parents beiDg sold or serving in the
Rebel army. As we passed through the solemn
service of baptizing these children in the name
of the Father, Bon, and Holy Ghost, from our
inmost soul went up the prayer that not only
might every one be a true soldier of the Cross,
but also that every one might belong to the
army of Freedom. Fifty two children were
dedicated to the service of God and Freedom on
that occasion. These children were of all shades
f color, aud tt was truly affecting and sicken
ing to hear, as we did, such and similar re
marks concerning some of the children. Hop
ing some, good may follow from it, we give a
few specimens : “Did you observe that pretty
girl, Jane ? She is the daughter of Senator
-—“And John, that smart flaxen-haired
boy, presented by that tall white woman ? That
is the son of Mr. , a merchant of New Yoik.
There were some twelve or fifteen children,
who have a most mortifying history, as regards
• their geneology. “Be ye sure your sins will find
you out” is a truth notf as well as in the days
ot Muses, and If so, who can tell how many
houses, North as well as South, will yet be visit
ed with plagues worse than those that fell on
the Egyptians. Sod is lifting the veil that
has long covered the wickness of this land
We find most singular decisions among the
churches —decisions that would as-,
touish some Nottheru churches. Some rule
must be laid down, s>nd enforced with kindness
and discretion, it i* very important that all
who are livi-g together by common Consent,
bav.ng beer, deprived, as many have, of the le
gal forms of marriage, should reaffirm their
marriage vows and receive a certificate of the j
Si.rae, au ! that none should enter this sacred
relation hereafter until they can be duly and
legally martied By a minister or magistrate. :
The people almost universally express regret
that proper formskot marriage have, in any in
stance, been dented them, and not only are ail
such ready to ratify their marflage vows, but
thove v. is in so many desire to have it done in
the iu et public and solemn manner, as this
seem* to guard, by its increased facredness,
against a dissolution, by future demons of
slavery. ’ M. French.
The Enemy's Movement on James River.—
The Petersburg Express hears trom a source
entitled to the highest credit that McClellan is
evacuating his position at Berkeley, steady re
ports of which have been in circulation for
some days past. The recent movements on
Malvern Ilill and the pretended permanent
occupation of C 'ggin’s Point aud Maycox, are
now knowu to have been mere feints to cover
his evacuation.
A party who was recently in McClelian’s
army says the parties who are throwing up for
tifications or the opposite side of ihe river

May not the secret expedition spoken of ia
the telegraphic column be destined lor some
point not far from Charleston ?
May not a certain river in the State-of Georgia

design to operate ?
We can only say, let them come on. We are

Through the strong glasses o f the signal station
at Fort Pulaski, vve have wait lied t lie crews of
the blockade ships a--;hey hunt th-ir sails at
the city wharves, and have noticed the unu uai
activity with which Hat-beau* arc being multi
plied and lighters have increased Word has
come to us, too, of the condition of the naval
monster, and the fact that it was to be used
against us at an early day has not been un
known.
Day before yesterday she first came under the
fire of Pulaski. She was feeling her way, ap
parently unmindful of the shot trom our heavi
est guns. Of course the intelligence was not
long in reaching Hilton Head. From that mo
ment such preparations as we have been able
to make for a proper reception have been in
progress. The heaviest of our transport steam
ers have been placed uuder the orders of Ad
miral Dupont. Gunboats have been stationed
at each approach, and new signal lines have
placed tiff in in instant communication with
headquaiters. We shall know when the ram
passes Pul ski what direction she takes, and
what her e 'dent purpose is, long before we
see her. Meanwhile the rebels are concentra
ting at Bluffton, at Hardeesville and at Gra
hanjsviile. It is apparently their plan first to
destroy our fleet, and then to move the Fingal
around to Seabrook, and there cover the land
ing of their forces.
How the Admiral proposes to meet the Fin
ga! it is not proper for me to reveal. It is suf
ficient for me to stale that he believed at once
in the impregnable nature of the craft-, and in
the reckless daring of her commander. Wheth
er in the event ot her advent —he will remain
on the rudderless, helpless Vermont, which at
present is his flag ship, or betake himself to
someone of the steamers in port, I do not
know. Ido know he thinks that unless some
other means than those now at his disposal are
supplied there is dire disaster in store lor him.
To-night every transport has its fires lighted
and steam ready; all are living oa spring cables,
ready to move at a moment’s notice. Ail ci
vilians have been placed on shore, and to each
man remaining on board has been given a life
preserver. The gunboat Conemaugh, one of
the new “double-anders,” lies quietly down
the channel. Lanterns are swinging from the
signal stations, and from every’ elevated spot
anxious eyes are peering through powerful
lenses down-the bay Everybody is on the
rampage about the ram.
Heroic Incident ia New Orleans,
We are indebted to high authority ior the
facts of the following occurrence in New Or
leans, intelligence of which reached the city
yesterday. Mrs. H. M, Hyanos, Wife of the
Lieutenant Governor of the State, p issed on the
street a number of Yankee oificers sitting in a
doorway as she went by. One of them arose
and followed her a few sips, and, arresting her
progress by placing himself in front of Ik r, told
her that she had omitted to bow in passing.
She attempted to avoid the ruffian, when be re
pealed his remark, and asked her if she had not
read Gea. Butler’s “Order No. 28,” with refer
ence to the treatment of Union officers and
soldiers with respect. Endeavoring to pass the
fellow, he threw his arm round the lady’s wisest,
and pressed his foul lip3 upon her face. As the
villain released her fronr his embrace, the
Southern lady coolly drew a pistol and shot him
through the body, so that he tell dead at her
feet in the insolent, flush of his cowardly tri
umph over the insulted virtue of a feeb'e and
unprotected woman. -
Another of the officers immediately arose,
and approaching the noble and courageous
| lady, took her by the arm and told her, so that
the other Federals could hear, that she must
accompany him before Gen. Butler. He imme
diately placed her in a cab and drove away—but
not to the Beast’s quarters. He directed the
cab out of the city and through the line of sen
tries —and further on still, until beyond the
reach of the tyrant’s outposts. The act of the
heroine had made a hero of the witness. He
told her that he considered her act justifiable
and noble, and that in a moment he bad de
termined that she should not be sacrificed to
Butler’s vengeance, and adopted the expedient
by which he had rescued her. He continued
to escort her on her journey through the coun
try until they arrived in' the Southern lines at
Camp Moore, when he delivered hitj)3ell up to
the Confederate authorities, to be dealt with
as a prisoner or o herwise.
So ends this heroic and dramatic incident of
the war. Mrs. Ilyama has set a lofty example
for Southern women, and the gallant gentle
man who delivered her ha 9 shamed its army
and the whole North. We trust he has re
nounced forever the service of the oppressors,
and that a rank equivalent to his deserts may
reward him in ours.—i Mobile Adv.
Counterfeits —Counterfeit $5 Confederate
notes, recent green colored issue, have made
their appearance at Atlanta. The Confederacy
describes them as follows :
No one need be deceived by the counterfeit.
It is a botch. The vignette—intended for a
likeness of Mr. Memminger—is very poor, and,
instead of being deep black, is very pale, and
the hues very rough. The words “Confeder
ate States of America,” which, in the genuine,
are deep black and very finely executed, are
also very pale in the counterfeit, and miserably
executed. The statue oti the right hand end ol
the bill is a wretched botch. The green on the
bills is paler than on the genuine The three
circles ia the engraving on the left hand end of
the bill have, in the genuine, the words ‘ live”
in very small letters, several times, in two lines
in each circle. These words "fun" are notin
the counterfeit. Then, the signatures to the
bill are engraved— not printed—and is on shabby
paper. ’
Another New Ram. —The New York Herald
contains a letter from Hilton Head regarding a
new ram which it says the Confederates have
constructed at Savannah, called the “Fingal.”
The correspondent says:
The new gunboat is fully armed and manned.
She has been altered from the British steamer
Fingal, and is said to be a formidable engine of
destruction, carrying two ICO pound rifled
gnus, 10 inch Columbiadg, four 50 pound rifle
guns, and two 24 pounders for grape and can
nister. She resembles the Merrimac in shape
and form, with a massive beak at either end.
Our troops are preparing to receive her.
The plan of the rebels is said to be first to des
'roy our fleet, and then move the Fingal to
Seabrook, and there cover the landing of their
forces. Meanwhile, they are concentrating
tbeir land forces at Bluffton, Hardensviile and
Grabamviile

They had landed from'tbe steamer to get some

The Way Primus was Captured.—General

and enquired whether that was his bt igad'e,
when Private <J. Thomas, a lad about 18 years
of age, ordered him to dismount, or he would
soon sea whose brigade it was. The General
dismounted and delivered his sword to General
Taliaferro. It is said that he demanded his re
liase in accordance with the cartel for the ex -
change of prisoners, but the demand was not
accorded to.
The enemy were commanded by Msj. Gen.

Italy. —The accounts of Garribaldi’s visit to
Marsala record an. extraordinary scene of,pa
triotic excitement. Garibaldi, in the course of
his speech, several times made use of the
phrase, “ Rome or death.” to which the people
responded each time, “Yes, Rome or death !”
! He spoke in violent terms of Napoleon, and
[•said, “ We have given Nice aud Savor, and he
wishes for something more. Yea, I know he
has one mince ready for R .me and another for
Naples.”

draft, now find themselves under the diiagret -
able necessity of remaining, to which they sub
mit with very bad grace. Thai well-known
commercial citizen, Ben Deford, has been all
along one of the most, blatant advocates of a
draft; but as soon as be ascertained that the
measure was to be resorted to, he managed to
send off his two sons, and they aim now on
their way to Europe. H : ;■ “patdotifm” was
not equal-to the emergency, and is but

How to Pay for the Cotton Burned. — A

pounds the question, how i- 1 the money to be
raised to pay lor (ho cotton burned to prevent
its falling into the hands of the enemy? He
es imates the amount at $30,000,600, and pro
poses that it be paid by a tax on thq cotton not
burned. Ho contends that the burning ol so
large a portion of tao crop greatly enhanced
the value of the remainder, so that those who
aid not burn their crops will really be no losers
by the policy of the trovernraent. lie states
that he is himself a .Mlssissippian and a cotton
planter, and that, he did not burn his crop.
