martial law in richmond?the wiiiskev
question ? arrival of the nashville. '
Richmond, March 2.?The President has 1
issued a proclamation declaring martial law in
Richmond and in the country for ten miles j
around the city, and suspending all civil jurisdiction
except that of the Mayor of Richmond;
also suspending, under authority of Congress,
the writ of habeas corpus. All distilleries are
ordered to be closed, and sales of liquors of
any kind arc prohibited. The establishments
i for the sale theicof are to be closed.
The steamer Nashville arrived at Beaufort,
N. C., on Sunday morninu last. The block
ading vessels fired 22 shots sit her without
effect. She brings sihout 3,000,000 worth
stores, principally for the use the Confederate >
Departments. She met and destroyed, near i
the Gulf Stream, a Yankee schooner, bound
from Philadelphia to St. Domingo. The
i Nashville steamed up to the blockading squadron
in deiiant style, and though at one time
1 1
within musket shot of the enemy's guns until
protected by the guns of Fort Macon, and J
beyond her chagrined pursuers. Com. Pegram j
am! Paymaster Taylor have arrived in ltichmond,
and a portion of the Xashvill s freight (
is now being delivered in front of the Treasury
Department. Com. Pegram speaks in glowing ^
terms of the hospitalities which he enjoyed in
England. He thinks that Belgium will soon {
j recognize the South. The authorities at 15cr- f
| m.ida have prohibited the Yankees, from coalj
iug there. The Sumter is at Gibralter and at
! last accounts had captured and destroyed 21
Yankee vessels. (
Edwin DeL^on.?Many friends of Edwin

United States in Lgv pt, and so well remembered
throughout ihe South as one of the ablest
champions of our cause, has reached our citv
after a very adventurous voyage. Mr. DcLeon
came in the Victoria, whose narrow escape
from one of the blockading squadron off the
; entrance into luirataria Bay has been already 1
! related. It '..as certainly rather a rough reeepI
tion of a gentleman on his return to Ins native
t ountrv, a.'.t r nine year's absence, to be greet- '
! ed by a lu'iad.-ido from a ship-of-war. To
j make this still more trying, Mr. DcLeon was 1
, accompanied by his wife, an Bnglish lady, on
her iir.-t visit to her husband's home. Mr. DeLeon

Ilni^lain 1 and in France, as Wrongly in our favor,
concurs with the statements of other gentlemen
who have had the opportunities of nc.piainling
themselves with the views of those
people and Governments.
o
Augusta.? The Constitutionalist, in allu|
sion to the security of Augusta against a gun
^ W c?
boat raid, says :
"For the benefit of those who have any up- 1
prehensions about Augusta, we will state that
: Mayor May has been in consultation with the
1 Slate and military authorities on the subject,
and that Gen. Lee has given the necessary
i orders to have the river obstructed in case of
?
necessity. This can be very easily, readily and
effectively done. Besides this, a Yankee ffun.
*
boat will hardly be able to pass the batteries
at Savannah, if they should feel disposed to
to make the attempt. Our citizens and our
friends abroad, therefore, need have no fears
for the safety of Augusta.'' '

A Wise I?Ica*iirc.
The Mayor of Charleston has ordered the
bar rooms to be closed. The war times demand
it, and we hope to sec the example followed
in our city, and in the cities and towns
generally.
The stoppage of the distilleries is a matter
of first moment, and we trust a prohibition
will be extended to all but those for the Gov
eminent hospital purposes. The number in
our upper districts is astounding. We have
the best authority that there are 0110 hundred
and fifteen stills running in one of them.
The amount of corn used at each still is
twenty bushels a day. No wonder corn should
he selling in Charleston at &2. The question
is of importance, whether bread or poison is to
be distributed to our brave soldiers, whose
arms will be strengthened by keeping their
heads clear.? Carolinian.
The War in Virginia.?Gen. Johnston has
published a very severe hut admirable general
urder, in relation to the conduct of our troops
n battle. Before going into battle every captain
will call the roll of his company, and comng
out of action will again call the roll, and
very man missing, who is not dead, wounded
>v absent 011 leav.*, will be court-martialed for
sowardice. Carrying the. wounded from the
ield in the midst of an action is also prohibited
uid every man going to the rear 011 any pre;eneo
whatever will he shot bv the file officers.

Returned xo tiieir Old Quarters.?Nine
jf the luuloral prisoners who recently escaped
join confinement in this city, were returned
to their old quarters on Friday?n portion of
them were caught in Fairfield District, and the
balance in Union. We learn that the citizens
ofUnion are in pursuit of three more. The
following arc the names of those captured :
Fernando Drown, George D. Drury, Ralston
Walker, James Huiv, II. Blanchard, O. B.
Moore, J. G. Tuttle, 1'. Li. Ponieroy, S. II.
W uts.? Carolinian.
From Manassas.?-The Lynchburg Republican
of Thursday savs :
A number of ladies?the wives of officers
and others in the army?arrived here yesterday
evening from Manassas, having left that
place in obedience to an order from General
Johnston. This, in conjunction with sending
o(T the sick, is conjectured to mean either that
an advance of the enemy is anticipated, or
our army will make some movement. We
me inclined to suppose the latter to be the
case.
It is a question deserving and demanding
attention and answer whether cravens who
have guns, pistuis or swords, which tliey will
not use in defence of their wives and homes
shouid he permitted to charge more than three
times the original cost, when good citizens
and true men offer to purchase. No go. d
merchant or tradesman will become a broker
or agent for such cowardly extortioners.?
