Monday morning Attorney Gr.neral Barber returned to tbe city. He was greeted with the question: "What is an original pac'-age nu v V The reply vras: S:.ronton r haa not said in this case hr.t he con- j Ss rod an original package, but Le has J d thai at the heading it app^artdj it there was no difference of o;?iuioi- j ;ween counsel as 10 what constituted ; original package.

II. Any package containing Jcssj' than five gallons put up bv a manufac- j turer or rectifier a-id wheiesae dealer.

When liquors are put up in bol i Um and a number of bottles are packedf In a box or case, the cox or case is tue' original package. IV. If bottles are shipped in cars-! packed straw or otherwise, each J bottle cannot be considered an oritri ; nal package anil sold as such."

Tnis is the tenor of w most of the correspondents' reports for ei the week. The exceptions relate mainly to excessive rains in portions of Sl Berkeley, Cheater, Clarendon, Fair- fc ticld, Richland, Orangeburg, Horry, ta Hampton ard Barnwell, while in >pots over Ihe ccntral and western 2onntie?J more rain would prove bene ficial. Living by of crops was hin- ^ atred by heavy rains, and grass is n Lhrealning many fields, although no p barm has as yet been done. Oq the 0| whole, crop prospects are decidedly ^ better than at any time during the ej season, except for such as are matured or ripening including peaches which fl ^re rotting badly, and melons which ivp interior. _ The greater portion of the corn crop, jt is being laid by, greatly improved by a] Lhe recent rains. Some ilelds that p were badly parched by the previous hot. dry weather are levived and look promising. Early corn is about all in f( silk and tassel, but the stalks are low ^ and generally small. It is tiring in n Berkeley, due to excess of moisture, ^ and also in Darlington. Chinch bugs ^ continue to damage it in Chester and 0. York. Late corn without exception is ^ in fine condition. jj Cotton continues to improve in most q sections. The exceptions are portions ^ of Berkeley, Sumter and Hampton tj where it is too wet' and the plant has js begun to shed its fruit. It is yellow a in Barnwell.

Sea- a] island cotton is growing vigorously, ^c fruiting heavily, and no adverse con- fe iitions whatever noted. Tobacco cutting and curing making 0| favorable progi-ess.

LEE'S RESIGNATION. tie Great Confederate's Letter to Presi* i dent Jtflerson Davis. j A volume of war records now in 1 >urse of precaration at the war de- < irtment will settle the controversy 1 hethor Gen. Robert E. Lee tendered ' is resignation after the battle of Get- ? 'sburg. The reply of Jefl'erson I avis declining to accept the resigna- ? Dn has been a matter of common in- i irmation, but the character of the tter in detail which called out this ] iply has been a matter_of inference | ily until recently. The letter of signation of Gen. Lee will be first "inted officially in a supplemental jlume of the -war records which is aw being prepared ? It is given jrewith in its entirety: ' Camp Orange, Aug. 8,1863. Blis Excellency Jeiferson Davis, President of the Confederate States "Mr. President: Your letters of jly 23 and August 2 have been re ;ived, and I have waited for a leisure our to reply, but I fear that will aver come. 1 am extremely obliged i you for the attention <?ivea to the ants of this army and the eil'orts lade to supply them. Our absentees e returning, and I hope the earnest id beautiful appeal made to the juntry in your proclamation may ir up the whole people, and that ley way see their duty and perform . Nothing is wanted but that their >rtitude should tqual their braverv to tsure the success of our cause. We lust expect reverses, even defeats, hey are sent to teach us wisdom and rudence, to call forth greater ener ies, and to prevent our falling into reater disasters. Our people have nly to be true and united, to bear lanfully the misfortunes incident to ar, and all will come right in the id. "I know how prone we are to centre and how ready to blame others ir the non fulfillment of our expec tions. This . is unbecoming in a ?????? 1a AirtrJ T /vmiho tn COfi ifo ' :!D.eruUb .,'eupic. <auu x i;u to h> suu iw tpression. The general remedy for le want of success in a military com- < Lander is his removal. This is natu- 1 lI, and in many instances proper, j or no matter what may be the ability , f the officer, if he looses the confijnce of his troops disaster must soon or later ensue. "I have been prompted by these re ' ections more than once since my reirn from Pennsylvania to propose to our excellency the propriety of se icting another commander for this rmy. I have seen and heard of ex ressions of discontent in the public mrnais at the result of the expedi on. 1 do not know how far this ;eling extends in the army. My rother officers have been too kind to jport it, and so far the troops have Ben too generous to exhibit it. It is rir, however to suppose that it does x.Lst, and succcss is so necessary to us lat nothing should be risked to secure . I therefore, in all sincerity, reuest your excellency to take measures ) supply my place. I do this with le more earnestness because no one I more aware than myself of my mbility for the dutie* of my position, cannot even accomplish what I my;lf desire. How can I fill the exectations of others? In addition, I ?nc.iKiv fowl th? crowinc failure of ly bodily strength. I have not yet icovered from the attack I experineed the past spring. I am becomig roore and more incapable of exer* on, and am thus prevented from iakiDg the personal examinations ad giving the personal superivsion > the operations in the field which I sel to be necessary. I am so dull lat in making use of the eyes of thers I am frequently misled. E?eryling therefore, points to the advaniges to be derived from a new comlander, and I the more anxiously rge the matter upon your excellency 'om my belief that a younger and aler man than myself can readily be otained. I know that he will have i gallant and brave an army as ever sisted to second his efforts, ai)d it ould be the happiest day of my life > see at its head a worthy leader? ne that would accomplish more than could perform and all that I have ished. I hope your excellency will ^tribute my request to the true rea>n, the desire to serve my country, ad to do all in my power to insure le success of her righteous cause. I t /inmnloink tnmalrft nf an\r 1 X net VC UU WUi^iniiiiM WW w. ? j ae but myself. I have received nothig but kindness from those above me, , ad the most considerate attention ( om my comrades and companions i arms. To your excellency I am jecially indebted forunifmorm kindess and consideration. You have ?ne everything in your power to aid io in the work committed to my large, without omitting anything to romote the general welfare. I pray lat your e(Torts may at length be ; owned with success, and that you my long live to enjoy the thanks of , grateful people. "With sentiments of great esteem, am, very respectfully ana iruiy ours, UR. E. Lke, General." Mr. Davis wrote, declining to ac- ! ;pt the resignation, and Gen.
