Events of the Week-
The pmet week has Been *n e»<-ntfnl
one in Gaineaville. Two mnrringes
and a death, is a mixture of joy and
sadness which does not often occur in
our quiet village.
On the 28th ultimo, our popular
young fellow- l ownsrnan, Berrif.n H.
Brown; Kmq., led lo the nltnr Miss
Emily J. Sanford, second daughter
of Major .Raymond Sanford, of
Crossville, Dawson county, the ceremo
ny being performed by the Rev. John
E. Rives. In tho evening n tea party
was given by Mr. Warren A. Brown,
which was attended by all the young
folks, mol passed off as happily as liesrt
could wish.
But scarce had the merry notes of
the EpitliHiiiimum died away when our
citizens were called upon to follow to
their Irsl resting place the mortal re
mains of one whose gentle henrt and
winning w;.y» no le-s than her youth,
heauly, and intelligence, had won for
lie: the kindest feelings of all w ho knew
her; and whose death was rendered
doubly sad by the remembrance ol her
many attractions. Miss Amur. Camp
bell, nfter many weary months of lin
gering illness, breathed her last on Sat-
urday afternoon. Snatched away in
tho flower of her youth, she iiaa left this
Ins naughty world, and is with God.
On yesterday inoining, our village
was again enlivened by a marriage.—

This event will recall to the minds of
many id our readers, the pathetic lilies
of Hood's “Fair Inez;” —
"Oh. sir. lb.re i.o fnir dames at limns
Or no i me lovers here,
Tlmt hi: should cross the seas to win
The dearest of the dear!"
The ceremony over, the happy couple
set out immediately for Charleston.
And here we have r--'iarriage, a death
and a marriage following in rapid suc
cession. Verily, “In the midst of life
we ate in death.”

[FROM OUll SPECIAL COR RKgroICDENT ]
Ch arleston. M irch 5, 18G1 *
Dear Mitchell:—l had long inranded to
give you a summary account of the stnt«i ol
our defences, fortifications. Ac.; but was not
until the other day that 1 had a good oppor
tunity to get a view of them. Now, however,
everything has been declared ready for ac
tion—all except the “floating battery," ol
which much has been said, and on which
the greatest hopes seem to be placed: so
much so tlmt the rumor is they are only
waiting for it to he ready to conmteuce the
attack on Fort Sumter. While lam on the
subject 1 will finish with it, and give you a
description of it. As it standa now at the
wharf, it feet deep iu the water an J about
five feet out of water.it resemble* exactly a
box uioi»e or less square, and with its siJes
standing nt an obtuse angle on the bottom.
It rs built of strong timbers of oak, 12 inches
thisk, put up one against the other, and
covered on the outside with planking 1) in
ches thick. This is the body. It is pro
tected on one side—thut to be exposed to
the batteries oj Sumter—first by thick plate*
of iron on the outside, bolted aud riveted on
strongly, and on the inside by swo layers of ,
Palmetto log*. 6>u that side, the four guns
that compose its armament are to be placed.
The side of the battery rises to a height suffi
cient to form a kind of. parapet, while a roof
is added to it joining the side at a right an
gle, mo that any shot striking it will “rico
ohet” into the water beyond, while any
' striking the sides will glance ofT downwards
on account of the inclination on> ihe bottom.
Both parapet and roof are covered with irou
and the first lined with palmetto*. Under
j cover of t’ etn the guns are to be placed,
and the men serving them will be in com
parative security. The other sices, uot be
ing exposed to any fire are not so strongly
protected, and the iron work end palmetto
lining have been dispensed with. So much
work and weight on one side will, of course
cause the battery no: to stand level
Ballast on the other side, would as expected
cause it to l ight sgain ; but such is the
weight on that side, that no ballast put in
side of the battery could cause it to stand
straight. They have, therefore been obliged
to eroct a platform about ten feet wide on
the side opposite that of the guns projecting
over the side, and oo i\ acting a* a lever,
weight enough, consisting of sand hags will
be put to halauc* the enormous weight ou !
the other side. The roof that protecs the
gunners does not extend over more than one j
third of the deck of the battery, the other

two thirds remainin'’ perfectly open to the
shells of the enemy, which, coming down
aud bursting on the rear of the guns, could
soot: clear them of t »eir men To this ob
jeefion, several gelplemen have said that
they have neither bomb* nor mortars in Fort
Sumter. If so. wi ll; if not. they will find
that thefr battery, which can defy cumoo
on its front, would l«o n he cleared by a few
well sent bomb shell* on the deck, in the
rear of their gun*. Gn the whole, it seem*
a clum-y affair, and has an unwieldy appear

Dear Mitchell Although otir political
affairs are still in a state of indecision, and
although the future is ns dark now as erer
a* to the end of the present revolution **ntl e
political situation of this pert of the world,
yet the panic tbrt had at first almost paru
lyxed all departments of trade is now al
ready subsiding and and things art* begtti
it ing to take their natural course- There is
an active demand for cotton ami rice. he
market in corn is also brisk Several large
vessel*, English, trench anil German, are
loading fr#i European ports, many more are
expected, aud mo tof ihe have already ear
S**es awaitiug them in in Euiope which they
will bring back to Charleston. Puis is only
the beginning of the influence . nr new in
stitution* as tariff will have upon mir
tiadf.aud in a few months the nierckan-ts o(
the North will begin to feel the change.
Ihe Dry Goods trade with ihe North has
been immense io the last two weeks. It h.;t
been a perfect rush of vessel*, for the inei
chants wanted to fill their ware rooms before
. the new tariff *oea into cUVct. I hope that
that this will lie be the List trade that we
will nuke with them, and the last Yankee
coal* that wc will have to wear. 4 Sext Full
I hope that our intercourse with Europewill
be complete, aud the system of direct impor
tation perb cted. On a i average, I think
the new ta iff is fi ty per cent lower th <d the
i fm*uier one, and European
will know well iu what ruaiU&eir interest
lies- Foreign ships being now admitted
to our ports fr c e «»f duty ot exportation, will

of observation ; but let the order be given or
the oedasion come, and we will shew our
selves equally well prepared tu take the of
Tensive; and really, most of our men would
be glad of an opportunity to have a brush
with the enemy: Their life has been a drea
one, Nothing can be more dull or discoura
ging to a soldier than a camp life, especially
w hen he has to work day and night at the
construction of fortifications. The camp
routine is monotonous enough in itself, but
it is rendered still more irksome by the hard
labor oui troops have had to go through.—
To a soldier engaged in auoh duty, a skirmish
witn the enemy is an agreeable pastime,
and a battle generally hailed as a gala day
In all times we can see examples of this.—
In the advance of the grand artny upon
Msscow, one of the most trying feat* of mod
ern military achievement, an engagement 1
was eagerly w.itched for as a relief from the |
mouotouy of a tedious march, and the eva of
a battle resounded not with the groans « I
weary men, but with exclamations of joy.—
Every man would be seea burnishing hi-*
uniform and »irm«. and getting ready, as if
for n feast. A soldier’s trade i* war. and he
rejoices in it , he who does not had better
stay at home. Our young men. however
have borne bravely all their fatigues and
hardships, and though sorry of their inac
tivity, they ara in fine spirits and in the best
discipline.
Oen. Beauregard, of good and favorable
renown, ia now commander in chief .J the
forces here. He has approved highly of all
the preparations mado, and has carried on
their improvement. In a former letter Ide
scribed to you the fortifications of our liar
bor >• nd the batteries erected against Fort
♦Sumter. Lately, a good many pieces have
been placei in battery on the channel, while
a few of tha heavy guns pointing towards
Sumter have been brought to bear a.so on
on the same approach, indicating, I suppose,
that Beauregard’s plan is more to take Fort
Sumter by starving it out, than to rui.i it by
a bomhardmext To all these have been ad
ded efficient batteries of Light artillery,
with an immense supply of grape shot, to
defend the rear of our Fortifications from an
attempt at dUembarkment and t > do such
other duty as they are able to perform in the
theacase of a fleet trying to force the en*
taance to the harbor, and in snob duty they
would he most annoying to no enemy’s deck,
when you remember that at some parts of the
channel a ship is obi zed to run within one
eighth of n mile from the shore.
As to the rumors about the surrenderingof
Fort Sumter, Andersen giving up bis com
mission Ac , I could not tell you any more
more about it than our papers do. Every
day 1 hear that it is to be given up to mor
row ; to day, however, the public rumor has
fixed it to next Wednesday, which is as'much
to be trusted ns the Two messenger*
came from W n*l»iwprton, and after a confer
with the Governor, will* bis leave won*
to the Fort. What was the object of their
mission?—what was their business?—jon j
A few ‘wiseacres**—ns there are to be
found such—complain ofiour commanders,
and are even ns fiery as to wish to blow up
Anders >n and his fort, or blow them out of
it. To such I generally give the who’esome
advice, to go and do it them-elves As to
myself. I join with the best part of the com
munity in saying that a we have command
cr«, we will do better to put faith in them—
they know what they ara ab<Mit. Let u«.

Present of a Lot of Firs.-Arms
from Scotland. —There arrived n*. :
New Orleans, one day last week, the
ship Nelson, from I irerpool, having on
board a consignment of fire arms and
munitions of war. sent as a presedt to
the city of Jackson. Miss., by Mr. James
Smith, of Glasgow; Scotland. Mr.
Smith is a Scotchman . who came to (hi-*
country, resided several years in Jack

land. lie voluntarily sends per ship
Nelson, from Liverpool, three cases and
one cask, containing 25 Quitman rifles
with sword bayonets, 1 six-pounder gun.
50 rounds of shot, 12 rounds of canister
shot, and 12 canisters; and. not to do
the thing by halves, he paid the freight
«n them across the oceaa to that city.
The Richest County in the Uni
ted States. —lt is protable that Bra
zora county, Texas, is the richest in
Union in proportion to the number
iof its population. According to the last
Comptroller’s report, if the property o
that county should be equally divided
among its voters, there would be some
thing more than 613,000 to each man.
We clip the above from an exchange.
It speaks well of the county alluded to,
but we imagine our cotemporary is in
; error in claiming so mnch for Brazora
! countp It is considered that Douglier
; ty county. Geo.igia, according to popu
lation, is the wealthiest county in the
United States. While Brazora gives
each voter 613.000, Dougherty county,
according to the Isst United States
Census, furnishes each voter with a
capital 622, 747. This makos a wide
diflfrrei.ee between the two. —Albany
