Hired a Substitute to 8tay Behind. We have heard of many cases of men lia ble to conscription hiring substitutes to take their places in the rank?; but the instaoce reported below is uncommon and noteworthy. Tue young volunteer who hired a substitute t LI .-tay bell ind with the ordnance wagon,, while be hastened to take part in the fight, was Seaborn Williams, ol' Trsgegee, AJa., a verv inoorst and rc iring but courageous youth, of Jess than eighteen years, who was killed in the great fight near. Murfrecsboro. The ac cviiirrt which we copy is from a letter from the Captain ol his company, which formed part of the 45th Alabama Regiment. Capt Aber crombie writes : M The day before the fight, I received an order to detail a man to stay with the ord nance train, to bring up ammunition when it was needed to the company. I detailed Sea horn. I noticed that he left his pince in line very reluctantly, and went back to the train. Farly next morning. I baw him again, with bia gua, in line. I went up to him and abk ed him why he was there. Ile replied, ' I have hict-d au- thar man to star behind with the wagon, and if you will let me I prefer to be with thu company in the fight to-day.' Un willing to mortify bim, 1 consented to Lis stay. ?*#?#?

The production of Cotton was further liinrei to oue nero to th? hand. Whether this limitaiiol applies to those who have already planted, dil not seem tu be very clear to the friends of tb measure.

UAKLI.IUTOK'S Resolution dtnouncing as wanting in patriotism all personi who, by rofusing Conioderate currency in the pay ment cf debts, were acting so as to dopreciatt that earrency. These aro not the exact words bul the idea is correctly put. We mako no comment. Taking it all in all, we think it would bavt boen bettor if the Legislature bad not been called together. The Governor thought differently and we nttor no word of dissatisfaction In ihut dic tion. He was iuflue&erd by considerations d public duty which would not permit him to rest satisfied. Put there is danger in this accumula tion of legislation. If we ar? to meot all difficul ties, tbe Legislature would have to come together almoct every month. In doing so. active and am bitious minds aro very apt to originate new bon ners much of which may nut be realty demanded by the necessities of our position but on Ibo con trary m.-.y le fraught with confusion and positive error. Gen. Hampton and his Men. It may n?t bo known to somo of our readers that Gen. WAPE HAMPTOS bas obtained permis sion from the War Department to carry such of his men as are now on furlough io tije defence of Charleston. Thu is a nobio step on the part of this heroic ' (Ticer, snd hus been responded to by his men with teal and delight. Col. M. C. BUT LBB has joined hil chief and will participate" in tho commnnd of tho corps. Other officers bare hastened to tho summons, and we suppose tko Company thus formed wid number nearly two hundred men. Coming f/om Columbia on Satur day last, we met tiotne seventy or eighty brnvo Georgians of this command returning with fresh horses to Virginia. Up?m being informed that they were called to Charleston, overy face was lit up with a glocm of pleasure. Ono who seemed to be an officer remarked: "I hor>? we can do good fighting for the csuse it, Virginia, but f k-.n-te we can in South Carolina." W0 announced the call to tho various sqcad* as wo met them for miles, and cculd plninly soo a stern s-ilit-hcdon in every count? nance. It was grsli'yit.g to nitt'css such a manifestation by our nohle krothers of tho Ktopiro Stato, nud we were lod by th? incident to realize that unselfnb devotion to our common cause which goes sa far towards giving our arms invincibility. We could cosily ree another indi, s-ition in tho bearing of those war-worn ve'orane., ? ?nd it was that the rery name of UAMPTO.V was music to their ears.

Brown and Our Public Debt. MR. EDITOR :-There is an error of considerable magnitude in Gov. BROWN'S Meisago, or that por tion of it quoted by you in your paper of a late if nie. Allusion is made several times to our debt ns a "billion" of dollars. Our debt can never reach (hat sum, though the war should continue fifty yean. Ten thousand million is not a billion ai Gov. B. would seem to indicate, bnt it takes one hundred thousand millions to make ono bil. lion. There is perhaps hot io much money in all the world. On enumerating, we say millions* tens of millions, hundred? of millions. Now it is not billions as many suppose, but its thousands millions, tens thousands millions, hundreds thou sands millions. Our public debt is large enough in all conscience. Let us nut unnesiarily exag?r ate the amount. COLBOURN.

Man is pre-eminently an imitative creature. Perhaps it is well that he ia so, or else-there might bc no progress of improvement among thc m.-.sses. But somehow human uature is such that we are dure prone to imitate what ia bad or indifferent, than that which is ex cellent. .It would bs cun'ous, if not instruc tive, to recount the many bad habits and fool ish and pernicious fashions which our peupla hare taken, by inoculation aa it were, from former association wita the Yankees. And it is a little strange, too, that, notwithstand ing the war has made us all nate and despise tbe Yankee nation, we have still held un to many ul the vile things fur which we were indebted to them. Eow easy it is for mon who ure but children of a larger growth-to tV.il away into bad practices, but how difficult to renounce them. We shall not enumerate the many bad bab ita we have derived from the Yankees, but only mention une, which never eame much in vogue which we hoped had entirely died out, but which t-eems just now springing into new use-and that is the custom of publicly ad vertising fur a husband or s. wife. Wc know not where or how thc iashion originated, but it must have been set by the l ree-lo vs Yan kees ; it was certainly very common among them, or is still. Confederate newspapers are beginning to show such advertisements, in anticipation of the close of- the war,,, and we regret that they come generally irom the soldiers, the very last persons who should fol low Yttikee fashions, and particularly such a detestable one as this. It iu incomprehensi ble what sort of an idea a parson eau have of marriage, who hawks himself or hsmelf about iu this public msuncr, seeking a market. There may br. exception*, but generally such an advertisement for husband or wife, as il the advertiser wanted something of the na ture of a-burse, or a dog, or a slave, ebouid b-j held un prima Jade evidence that the ad vertisar ha? no conception uf what consti tu? ea husband or wife, ind is totally unfit for tither relation. We hope the vile practice may be nipped in the bud, that the thought \K?3 will give it attention enough to fie? bow ioaitmoinr it in, ?lid tbot the reckless, who re spect not Ih&nsemt, may come to respect oom mou decency*) ano ?eave such abomina tions where they properly belong, with the Yankee*.- Augusta Constitutionalist. -? _o- ? Thc 1'ress. Nothing can be more absurd and disgust ing than the lordly cou tempt occasionally af fected by >ome politicians fur the neWi-paper press. The Press is a power in every .State - a power scarcely second in constitutional Governments tu that of thc throne itself. The London JVmes wields an influence in Christendom such as no single statesman of this age exerts. The Press uf the South has heeu thc life and breath of this Revolution, it may have committed errors in ibo begin ning of tho war, but those are attributable tu the novelty of a slate of things which led oth ers into errors besides th* Preen. With these exceptions, it is impossible lo over-estimate the impetus which ttl?) ?'iouthcrn movement has derived from the Pres?.. It has aroused tho patriutism, encouraged the hopes, nerved thc hearts, and strengthened the arms uf the people of the South throughout this contest, it. has pointed out daDgers to be avoided, called attention to tho necessity of economy and retrenchment, stimulated the agricultural interests, and denounced abuses in the ad ministration of affairs with unsparing fidelity and boldness. . Ten thousand ?uch politi cians as undertake to denounce this power ful organ of public sentiment could not ac complish as much for the pub'ic interest as a single press. Thc Press has no motive to be utherwise than just and honest. The public interests are it* interests. But the interests of politicians do not always harmonize with those uf the people. Their peraonal eleva vatiou, not the public good, is the object uf their lives, and if necessary, the public will have to give way to self. What hann have not politicians done to humau society I They have corrupted t?e people, sacrificed princi ple and honor, and lighted the Usmc ol war itself for the purpoi ? uf advancing their am bitious projects. jCy will ruin our own couuiry, if they are permitted to attain as cendancy iu her council, which they can nev er do lill they have muzzled the Press.
