Origin o{ llio Names of Slate-?. liaino was called Marvosclien, but about 1*738 took tho name it now bears from Maine, a province in tho western part of France. The name is originally derived from tho Conomanni and ancient Gaelic people. New Hainpsbiro was the name given to the territory gfafjted by the Plymouth Company to Capt. John Mason, by patentee,- who was Governor of Portsmouth, in Hampshire, England.. Vermont is from verb, green, and mount, mountain. * Massachusetts was named from n tribe of Jndians in the vicinity of Boston. Roger Williams says the word signifies "blue hills." Rhode Island was so called in 1644 in relation to the Island of Rhodes, fn the Meditcira ; ilea 11. New York was named in honor of the Duke of York, to whom the tcriitory was granted. Pennsylvania was called after William Peun. j In 1664 the Duke of York made a grant of . what is now called the State of New Jersey to Lord Burkley &nd Sir George Cateret, and roeoivp.d its name in enmnlimont. tr? tli? I *?.? ?? 'wlio had been Governor of the Island of Jerecy. DolcwaVe was so called in 1702 after Loid Del a Ware. * *. Maryland was named in honor of Henrietta Maria, Qnccu of Charles I, in Ins patent to Lord _ ? Baltimore, June 3, 1G32. Virginia was called after the Virgin Queen of England, Elizabeth. The Carolina* was named by the French in honor of Charles IX of France. Georgia was called in 1035 after George II. Louisiana was named after Louis IV of France. Florida received its name from Prince do Leon, in 1512, while on his voyage in search of the the fountain of vouth. Tic discovered it on Easter Sunday?in Spanish, Basque, Florida. The States of Alabama, Mississippi, Tenncsrr i i Tit?i?- /~\t ' ' i t>\sv} xvuutucjty, xinnois, inuiana, uino, Arkansas and Missouri, arc all nanicd from their principal rivers, and the names aic of Indian origin, excepting, perhaps, Kentucky, nnd their meaning* involved in obscurity. "Tennessee is said to signify a curved, spoon ; Illinois, the Rivers of Men; Mississippi,* the Whole River, or a river formed by the "union of many. ' ' Michigan was named from the lake on its borders. Iowa is an Indian name, also Texas, signify q ing ''Beautiful." California was thus named by the Spaniards at a very early day. Tiib Army of Tennessee.?Equipments for recruits are'bifing'se'ht forward every day, and jjood's force is already large enough to march triumphantly through Middle Tennessee, should the weather and raods prove favorable. The impression prevails that Nashville will be * recaptured befote Christmas, and that should Brookinridge's new campaign prove successful, Chattanooga and Knoxvllle will bS evacuated much sooner. The attempt oii the part of the Federal antharities to enforce the draft in Tennessee and Kentucky can have no other tendency than to increase Hood's army. What Grant Says.?Grant, in his last visit to New York, in conversation, said : "The Southern Confederacy is a more shell. I know it. T am r\f it Tt In ? ~U-it 1 ... ?. .v. XI.

In answer to a question whether, in his opinion, ninety (lays would bring the war to an end, he said, with a grim smile: "I am not a ninety day man, but we shall see what will happen in six months." ^ Lieut.

Of course, wo are quite hi the dark as to Suermax's operations south of the city. Wo do know, however, that the enemy holds A rgylo Island, as well as the west bank of the Savannnh River, from the raiboad trestlework to "Potter's Mill." Tho Yankees ere basil j engaged preparing the rice crop in that neighborhood, threshing and pounding it for their ot?n use. The enemy has constructed a battery of Parrot guns at Potter's mill, with which they control ihe navigation of tho stream, us well as portions of the Carolina shore, stretching back for tho distance of nearly a mile. Their aharpslioorers also aunoy our pickets daily, and have occasioned some few casualties amongst our men and horses.

This extensive and important trestlework has now been ultuost totally destroyed?on the Georgia sido of the river by Slocum's corps, and on our side by the gunboat Macon. A rumor is afloat and believed in many quarters, that Slocum's corps is massing on Argyle Island with a view to make an attempt to cut oil' communication between Savannah and Ilardeovillo via Screven's Ferry. Wo sincerely regret to loarn that portions of oiir mounted troops havo behaved shamefully to our own paoplo at and near Hardeeville, robbing thorn, without the slightest cororaony, of their horses, inulcs, corn, fodder, etc. Surely their commanders ought to enforce tho restraints of discipline so as to reach such ouunws.
