The Mobile Register of Sunday says: It
has been generally credited that quite a num

troops lauded for operations, and it was even
averred that an advance had commenced upon
Pollard. However this may be, no demonstra

people rest secure and satisfied with the wis
dom of t he dispositions of Gen. Maury, which
are generally pretty well know hereabouts.
A t essel Lost. —On last Tuesday night, says
the Charleston Courier , the British schooner
Sophia, from Nassau, with a good cargo, for
a Confederate port, arrived off Tybce. The
wind suddenly came out strong from the
Westward, and she was compelled to put to
sea. After attempting to enter several ports
to the South of this, she ran ashore niyir Da
rien, and became a complete wreck. The
schooner amDcargo was owned in Savannah,
with the exception of a lot of blankets, which
was the property of the State of Georgia.
A late number of the New York Daily News
gives an account of the capture-of the block
ade running steamer Cumberland by the Yan
kee gunfboat jDe Soto. The - capture, of the
Cumber hind was effected through the treach
ery of an Officer of the Cumberland, named
Peacock, who gave the Do Soto’s officers in
Havana sin account of the courses of the Cum
berland, the port she would sail for, etc. She
was intercepted between Havana and Mobile,
and Peacock was immediately rewarded (or
his treachery by elevating him to a prominent
position on the l)e Soto. The Yankees boast
very much of the capture, ami estimate the

The Question of Exchange— Arrival of
Confederate. Prisoners from Point Lookout.-~~lt
is a little difficult to understand the. exact po
sition of the issues which have interrupted
the exchange of prisoners between our own
and the Yankee Government. The fact that
80d of our prisoners at, Point Lookout were
sent up by Butler to City Point on the last
tlag-oT-tihice boat ied to the belief that the
exchange, under the provisions of the cartel,,
had been renewed, and that Butler had been
recognized by our Government as Commis
sioner o)t‘ Exchange, This is not the case,
however. The men sent to us are received as
paroled prisoner, under the cartel as it was
before the hitch which interrupted the regu»
lar exchange. In sending an equivalent, man
for man will not be returned, but a number in
ratio with the excess of prisoners which they
claim to have in their possession. They claim
to have 25 per cent, more of our prisoners
than we have of theirs, and the understanding
is that they are to send twenty-five per cent,
excess to us in the delivery of prisoners.
The letter of Judge Quid, refusing to recog
nize Butler has not been withdrawn, nor have
the difficulties with reference to the exchage
ot negro troops been removed.

lowing points, as reported by the*Commercial,

sharing Jtlie fate of Yallandiglmm :
1. An; effective tribute to the closing acts of
Buehandu’s Administration.
2. Th|e South didn't commence the war.
3. 011 John Brown did.
4. Slavery had nothing to do with ir.
5. The attempt to throw reinforcements
into Foist Sumter was the “chip on the shoul
der” which the South dared to disturb.
6. That the Abolitionists instigated the at
tempt iift order to inaugurate hostilities.
7. Democrats must declare open, determin
ed war against the administration.
8. Not another rap should be spent, not an
other man recruited unless Mr. Lincoln turns
copperhead in, his policy.
it. The object of the administration is to en
slave one Slate after another, and w here this
object cannot be accomplished by other means,
a mercenary soldiery will reduce them to
bondage.
10. By the first day of November next every
Democrat will be a aero—a conquering' here.
11. Open ami determined r. -i lance to the
Conscript Act.
12. The shooting of a deserting conscript is
deliberate murder.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Register
writes from the camp of the 05th Georgia
regiment, a word of encouragement to the old
ladies. He says :
A short time ago our quartermaster drew
from the Georgia Relief Aid Association, clo
thing for such of our men as were destitute,
and could not supply themselves elsewhere.
On each garment of this clothing was tacked
a card, stating by yvhomthe article yvas made,
&c. AYlien the clothing was received there
was not enough to give each man a full suit ;
consequently it became necessary to make a
lottery of it.
During the engagement at Missionary Pidge,
private Burton Weaver was lucky enough to
get a pair of shoes, but, poor fellow, he had
no socks and winter was fast approaching.
Accordingly, when the drawing began, he
went forward to try his luck. “Fortune fa
vors the brave”- so he drew a splendid pair
of well knit all wool socks, with a card at -
tacked, on which wqs written; “Those socks
were knit for our soldiers by Mrs. Nancy
Weaver, of Fannin county, an old lady 70
years of age, who has six boys in the army.”
Strange as it may appear-, Burton, the young
est ,ot the six, by nyere chance drew and is now
wearing those very socks ; and 1 have no
dould he appreciates them more than the pos
session of a dozen pairs knit by strangers.
A Gaiiaiit I'caL
Our readers will remember that some weeks
ago a large lot of cattle that were being driv
en from Yankeedom to provision the forces at
Knoxville, was captured by some of General
Loiigstreet’s men, and the w hole, about 1,200
in number, turned over to the Confederate
commissary. We have just learned the par
ticulars connected with this important cap
ture, and as they have never been published,
deem it not too late yet to place upon record
•»« whLcn. tlic Yankee starvlings
at Knoxville were chcaUeu <•«* «, suc ) l vast
quantity of meat.
The drove had reached a point about nine
miles from Knoxville, and was under the es
cort ®f three companies of t-fie Indiana six
inonthY men. A party of Gen. Longstreet’s
scouts, eleven in number, .discovered the prize,
and, notwithstanding the disparity' of num
bers, at once determined to secure it if possi
ble. Placing themselves in ambush at a fa
vorable point, at the proper moment they
delivered a fire from their carbines, which dis
abled some eight or ten of the Yankees, Im
mediately drawing their revolvers, they made
a charge, firing as they run. • So dismayed
were the Yanks that ff-11 broke and fled, except
one captain and forty-three privates, who sur
rendered without resistance. The captors
speedily started for Gen. Martin’s camp, 12
miles'distant, which they succeeded in reach
ing with all their prisoners, and nine hundred
and eighty of the cattle. Not satisfied with
this, they procured aid from Gen. Martin, aud
returning on the road, picked up over two
hundred more ot the cattle that had escaped
from them on the route.
We regret our inability to give the names
of the daring actors in this affair. They de
served, as they received, a public acknowledg
ment of their services, which was made by
Gen. Longstreet, in a general order, and they
were also granted a furlough of sixty days.
Seven of the number were members of Terry’-.
Texas rangers, and four of the 8d Arkansas
cavalry. We should like to recoid (heir
names, if possible.— Memphis Appeal.

Highly Important from New York.-— We
have before us, says the Fayetteville (N. C.)
Observer, a letter from a gentleman ot unques
tionable character, who says:
I heard a letter read this morning, written
about ten days ago by a gentleman in New
York .to his son in our army. The writer is
an intelligent of that city. He ay.- that
the President of the National Bank has issued
an address to the new banks cautioning them
against excessive issues and urging them to
the exercise of the greatest watchfulness aud
prudence, declaring that the aspect ot affairs
was exceedingly gloomy, and warning them to
prepare for a too surely approaching • la.-li.
The gentleman himself writes that the general
feeling in Ihe city now is for peace, and a con
tinuance of the war is advocated simply to put
off’ the evil day. He says farther, that the
policy of Ihe enemy will be, hereafter, to
avoid general engagements, and all fighting
indeed, as far as possible, and to confine their
efforts mainly to taking women and children
prisoners , in the hope ot thus driving us into
submission, through our sympathies with the
helpless, lie says all hope of subduing us by
aims is abandoned and people now talk openly
of its impracticability, and denounce it as a
folly. He thinks the cricis is near at hand,
and" that, tin- present } ear will witn. - the end
of the war.
Arraigning the Kauicals.- Gov. Medarj
of the Columbus (Ohio ) t'■ is battling
boldly with the abolition administration in
reference to the war. In a late number of

In ifit* I*l j e.-( news from Washington in the*
Republican papers, we find this, viz: it has
leaked out that official lepmus put the Lmon
loss fit Chattel llorsville, iti killed, w ounded
and missing, at 28.000, 30,800 in t bicKahotni
ny, 20,000 at second Manassas, 20.000 at Fred
ericksburg, and 25,00© at Gettysburg. These
appalling figures tell plainly what has
become of the Grand Army of the winter of
1 802. We can’t bring back the‘lost, but we
. an. as chri-tians and ] rlriots, make, an effort
before God and man to save a remnant of
what is left.

Infamous.— We have received, says
the Lynchburg Virginian, a copy of Har

this affiuf. Harper says: “We give a sketch
representing this interesting incident on
this page.”
The Virginian submits the following
very just comment:
1 nterosting incident! The murder of as
pure and upright a man as ever lived, by
an infuriated negro ! What an “interes
ting incident" to portray with pen and
pencil, to the delighted eyes of the demo
niac people of the North, yvho thirst for
our blood and our possessions. An “in
i crest ing incident. Let our people re
member the brutality of Harper and his
compeers when they again seek to circu
late their literature throughout our coun
try. An “interesting incident?” The
murder, of a sick and helpless white man
by a negro, armed by an unnatural foe to
do more wholesale murder. Was there
ever such a people since the days of the
Huns and Vandals?

The Hqusatoni. The Yankee version of
the destruction of this vessel off Charleston
harbor is as follows, taken from their papers
of the Ist. :
The following intelligence was received at
Fort Royal, South Carolina, J'rom the block
ading fleet off Charleston, announcing the
loss of the sloop-of-war Housatoni, Captain
Pickering, on Thursday, the 18th iust., at 9
o’clock, P. M. The circumstances are said to
be as follows
The watch on deck, perceiving something
floating with the current, which to him at first,
resembled a porpoise, reported the same to
the officer of the deck, whereupon, Captain
Pickering was notified, and he, being suspi
cious ot the object, immediately gavq orders
to slip the cable and get under way, which
order was put into execution, but all to no
purpose, for the rebel-propelled torpedo Da
vis (the New Iron-sides’ old friend) struck
her on the starboard quarter, and in a short
space of time she sunk off Beach Inlet.
Two officers and three men were lost; the
remainder of the officers and crew were saved
by clinging to the rigging until rescued by the
boats of the fleet.
A recent letter, speakiug of this torpedo,
says :
“The submarine affair, they say, came out
of Beach inlet a week ago, intending to attack
the Wabash, l*it she sunk when on the pas
sage, and drowned all hands. She was raised
the succeeding night, and towed in again.—
This makes the third time that she has sunk
and drowned all hands.”
From North Carolina. The annexed
items are gathered from the Wilmington
Journal:
One of the Federal vessels discovered a
blockader on Saturday and gave chase. The
craft ran on a rock and sunk. The blockader
arrived safely at her wharf in Wilmington.
On Saturday morning, Col. Hedrick, com
manding at Bald Head, struck one, of the
Yankee ship throe or four times, and from the
agitation on board, and the crowding of boats
around her, it i quite probable that she i3 in a
precarious condition.
(ti said that the Yankee blockade off Wil
inrnglon has been increased very recently by
three additional vessels, among them the
much talked-of double tender steamer Eautaw,
the fastest vessel in the Yankee service, and
by their account, the fastest war vessel afloat.
Both ends are alike, like a ferry-boat, so that
she can run either way with equal facility.
