An Important ana Valuable Compila
tion.
We shall commence in our next
issue a very valuable and interesting
Rostek of Regiments, Battalions,
Batteries and Division Staff Or
ganizations of Long. street.s Coups,
prepared by General E. I*. Alexand
er, late Chief of Artillery of Long
street’s Corps.
This Roster gives in detail the en
gagements in which the several regi
ments, battalions and batteries partici
pated, with the number engaged, the
number killed, wounded and missing,
and other interesting facts and inci
dents in connexion with the movements
of this celebrated army corps. Every
member of the corps should have and
preserve a copy of this “roll of honor"
to be transmitted to posterity as a full
and complete vindication of the valor,
prowess, and heroic deeds of the mein
hers of this distinguished branch of
Gen. Lee’s noble army of patriot sol
diers.
The author earnestly requests mem
bers of the old Corps to examine care
fully this Roster and begs that they
will point out any unintentional errors
which he may have committed, and
supply any defects which may be found
in the preparation of the work. He
desires to have the “Roster" perfect
and indulges the hope that the sur
viving members and friends of the
Corps will lend him their aid in secur
ing that result. Communications on
tlw subject may be addressed to him
personally at Columbia, S. C., or
through the columns of the Banner of
the South and Planters' Journal.
The first number will embrace Law’s
celebrated Alabama brigade, composed
of the 4th, 15th, 44th, 47th, and 48th
Alabama regiments and the 6th North
Carolina. Our exchanges in those
States will oblige ns very much and
perhaps perform a real service for the
people of their States by copying and
noticing this announcement.

Cashmere or Angora Goats.
luh. Carolina Farmer : —I reply
with pleasure to your letter of the i
11th tilt., which has been forwarded to
me from my home, near Frankfort,
Ky., to this place, to which I have
come on account of infirm health. In
reply to your inquiries as to raising,
etc., of the Cashmere or Angora goat,
I cannot do better than to send you a
copy (which Ido by this mail) of my
last stock pamphlet, which contains
full information on that subject, the
result of practical experience in rais
ing them for eight years; and in May
next, I will have over one hundred j
kids, from a flock of females built up 1
by crossing the native females to pure i
bred bucks, and for which purpose full \
blood bucks are equally as valuable in j
all respects, while pure bred animals I
are most valuable for making full I
bloods , and for perpetuating the purity
of blood in the race.
During two months, chiefly in this
vicinity, I have studied and observed |
carefully, as to their adaptation to the !
climate and vegetation of the South, j
and my impressions are strong and clear j
that they can be raised here With the j
lullest success as to the value of their
fleeces, their pelts and their flesh, {
while their subsistence will cost almost j
nothing, and they will require hut i
little attention, as excellent range for j
them is almost unlimited, and may he |
used advantageously except when they j
are having their young, and when their j
wool is long.
Allow me to express here my re i
spectful dissent to some of the state
ments of Mr. Henry W. Parr, in the i
Jlitral Carolinian of this month. Ac-1
cording to my experience and observa
tion, pure bred and full blood, and
grade Angora goats wear alternately a
suit of short and warm hair , and one !
ot long, soft and fine irool. The first :
cross, by a Cashmere buck on a short;
haired native female, implants the!
capacity to bear the fine wool, which
is then only about one or two inches
long ; and the wool is lengthened by
each successive cross ; and from these
part broods, of low grade only, can the i
line wool or “fur ’ be combed, and then j
only at the time of shedding. In cor- i
roboration of this, I enclose you a
small specimen of the skin, wi’th the j
wool on, of a full blood goat, in which !
is no under “fur,” but in which some of |
the short hairs may be found probab- i
Iv, not yet having all dropped out of I
the fleece. No well bred animals have ;
any “inane," it being a sign of low !
breeding and impure blood. I have!
seen many samples of yarn spun on
botli the little and the big spinning
wheel, and I enclose a sample spun on
the former, in my family.
That they are fond of coarse food,
like those other valuable wool bearing
animals, the camel and the lama, is
true; and that they can make a good
living on weeds, bushes and briars,
and on the bark and leaves of trees, is
one of their valuable qualities, by
which they clean up our cultivated
blue grass pastures in Kentucky, and
by which here they will thrive well in
the range , by the thousand. If .Mr. !
PaiT will come and see me at home, I j
will show him several flocks success-!
fully kept in their places by “zig zag,” j
or common rail fences, eight rails j
high and staked and ridered, but also j
kept in good repair.
Unlike Mr. Parr, I have not found
their “fur-like” coating of any value ;!
but I have found market in New York j
for all the wool I could raise, of seven- j
eight to full and pure bred animals, j
(which I also have) at prices ranging j
with gold, at eighty five cents, to one |
dollar and a half per pound, shorn j
and handled like the wool of sheep.
The imported plush, made ot goat’s j
wool is the universal covering for rail
road car seats, and this use alone will
always demand all the wool which can j
be raised, and before long manufac- j
tories for it must be established in the !
United States and even now is a pro- j
pitious time to begin. 1 enclose you ;
also some various samples of the wool
of my goats, from seven-eights to full
blood, plain and colored; and I wish I j
could show you my collection of all
the principal wools of commerce, that J
you may see by the contrast the supe-1
rionty of goat’s wool to any of them,)
for the most varied and valuable uses.
Yours respectfully,
Robert AY. Scott.

DR. TUTT’S
VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS.
There are scarcely any diseases in which purgative
medicines are not more or less required, and much
sickness and suffering might be prevented were they
more generally used. No person can feel well
while a costive Inbit of body prevails; besides it soon
generates serious and often fatal discuses, which
might have been avoided by a timely and Judicious
use of proper Cathartic Medicines.
These Pills are invaluable to all who suffer from
Bilious and Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Loss
of Appetito, Drowsiness, Giddiness, and especially in
digestion, which prevails to an alarming ex'ent in
this country at the present day. By the judieions use
of TUTT’S LIVER PILLS the bowels may be kept,
perpetually, in a natural condition of good health.
They d:> not act as a merely temporary relief; they
keep the human system in a state of sound and vi
gorous health, by easily and almost imperceptibly
cleansing it of all impurities. Jt braces and invig
orates both the physical and mental organization..
Hrhitual constipation or codiveness is the fruitful
source of innumerable ills; the ttrst of which is im
purity of the blood, and as a natural consequence the
action of the heart, liver and stomach and kidneys, are
disordered, It is unreasonable then expect a return to
of health while the cause of these troubles exist, viz..
Constipation or Sluggishness of the Bowels. It is the
habit generally adopted to resort to halts, Castor Oil,
Calomel, etc., which only affords temporary relief,
leaving the bowels in a far worse condition after the
effects ot these medicines have passed off. Du.
Turf's Liver Pill* moves the bowels to a healthy
action, not acting as ii were mechanically, but they
stimulate the secretions, and iu a healthful and
natural manner expels all impurities witlu i weak
ening the body.
Attention is especially directed to the f ct, tha. the
Liver Pills are not i tended solely to operate upOD
or move the bowels, but if taken properly they are
a Certain Cure for Diarrhea, Colic, Dysentery anu
bilious attack leading to purging.
The puplic are assured that TUTT’S LIVER PILLS
! are purely vegetable, CONTAINING NOT A PARTI
