From Nkw Orj.eaxs.?Lute advices from New Or.
leans have been received.
It is slated that Gen. IIuju.but is preparing to establish
the headquarters of the Yankee Department
of the Gulf at Mobile. Gen. Granger's expedition
against the city it is said would soon move. Com.
Palmer commanding the Western blockade squadron
would soon leave for Mobile oay with a fleet of about
thirty vessels, mostly iron ctads. The enemy flatter
ikemsolvcs that they will be able to capture the city
without much trouble. Wc think they will find themselves
mistaken.
The Lincoln government have commenced investigating
the abuses which exist in New Orleans. Several
officers have already bees arrested.
When Foote entered ou his crusade against the
Confederate Government, lie little thought that it
would laud him in the enemy's lines, and brand him
forever as a traitor 10 his section. But it has done so
nevertheless, and a good many others are .rapids
traveling the same road to ruin and disgrace: When
a man becomes a general croaker and fault-finder?
whep nothing goes ou to suit bim?when lie talks of
sexarate State action, P0300 commissioners and all
that sort of etuflj be may bgset.down as rottexi a

moment you hear him tall: or see him ac?' liicre are

The Mutual Supply Association.?We vouid
earnestly call the attention of our planting friends in
this and adjoining districts, who have not been ravaged
by tue l'oc, to tins most praiseworthy as.-ociation. !t
was instituted by n lew patriotic and beticvelcnt gentlemen,
actuated solely by a desire to benefit tliesuf*
Iferiug *nd nenly in our ccir.ir.vnity, sM.d it* c.tiatence
was hailed with delight by hundreds, as is '
evidenced by the names which crowd its rails.
Its objects are two-fold : First, to supply by purchase,
at reasonable rates, to its members the necessaries
of life; and secondly, out of voluntary contributions
made to it gratuitously to distribute provisions
to the poor. Can an argument or an appeal
b<> ncct-saarv to commend sueli notices to the eon
sidcration of those who have escaped the destruction
which 1ms befallen this community ? ' Is thoro dihe
who has escaped loss who'docs not fad that hi? enemy
has wreaked this injury upon his compatriot? Is tjtere
one wlio has thus escaped who does not desire to^^
ler his thank offering up an this yltur 1 jf there.- :b<j,
surely it is but a mild mode of expressing it to say. that
such an oncis neither n paliiot nor a christian. The
meihbers of the association, for themselves, only ask
planters and others having supplies to sell to them
the necessaries oflife for their families,-and out of J
their abundanco to give something for the sustenance I
of the poor who are daily seeking aid at their doors, j
The planters of this dictrict have been exceedingly
liberal hitherto ; they have freely sold their supplies j
at government prices, frequently under schedule j
. ft.ir.la r\l' II,rt llim-rifl. !
prices, DUt DOW more uiau HI? - ...v. ...
liftve had its stores pluudeved and destroyed. <will
uot Sumter aud Clarendon ovine to the rescue? Will
they not sell to the members of tho association?
Hare they not something ''to lend to t'ne Lord" in tho
way of charity to his suffering poor? We aro in- .
formed that the association has now on hand over i
twenty thousand dollars?that it's agent is about to j
visit the planters for the purchase of supplies, and to !
solicit contributions for the charitable feature of the j
enterprise, and that Major Holcombe has kindly sup. j
plied bags for the transportation of the articles pro-'
cured. We earnestly bid the noble work Godspeed,
and commend to the planters their favorable opportunity
of doing good. ?

How the Devil Lost.
The following is too''good to be lost. We
dip it, from an exchange paper, and respectful- .
ly.'call trie attention to it of certain persons^
who feci disposed to spread in the paper Ijne':
A ynnug mau, who actually desired wealth,
was visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted
Ijirn to. promise his soul fur eternity if he
could he supplied on this earth with all the
money lie could use. The bargain was concluded;
the devil was to supply the lhou'gy, and
was at last to have the soul, unless the' young,
man could spend'more money than the devil
could furnish. Years passed away; tire man

fortunes, and yet his coffers were always full,
lie turned politician and bribed .his way to
^'ower and lame', without reducing his pile of
gold. He became a filibuster, aud fitted out
ships and armies, but hi.* banker honored all
his duties, lie went to St. Haul to live, aud
paid the usual rates of interest for all the money
iie could borrow j but though the devil
made wry faces when h'e came to pay the bills,
yet they were uli paid. Due expedient after
another failed ; the devil counted tbe time?
*"n1 y two years?that he must wait for the soul,
and mocked the efforts of the despairing
man. One more trial was resblved upou?the

The Sumter Walchiaaa has 1 he following,
which we have read with surprise and regret:
In connection with the enemy's advance in?
to our State, we learn that immense quantities
of coru fell into bis hands, which had been
hoarded and denied !o the needy, and at last
it feli into the hands of the Yankees. And a
soldier informs us, that his regiment was for
solne time near a plantation whose owner re
t'usod even to sell auy "I ins nacon to our
troops, although he had a largo quantity on
liatul, and not until the euemy advanced and
our tucn became engaged, did lie offer to sell.
Jt was then too late, and no doubt the enemies*
of bis country fell heirs to his bacon. All this
is humiliating and should not be rcpeatcd.:?
Those who have surplus provisions should
share them with their Je>s fortunate neighbors,
for who knows how soon the whole of it may
be swept away by the ruthless foe!
