Pursuant to orders from Headquarters, the rnpanies composing the First legini nt of outh Carolina Volunteers, on duty at Morris' -land, were relieved and arrived in the cit [ondIay mrniting, under the command oft heir ;n)or fih- r. Capt. F. F. Warley. Our streets resented a very lively appearance, the whole nie of march being throanged with -spcctator=, hile from the windows the ladies ooked ulit gly on the gallant citiz.n .oldi rs, and s they pahsed waved their handkerchieis as ken of their afpreciation of the ni.bie ser ice they had rendered the City of Charlest:t ud State of South Carolina. A beautiful ew flag was presented to the iteginent while a their march. The men looked hearty and all the better -r being a little sun-burnt. This Regiment ras composed of the very flower ot the young ltln of South Carolina. They came to the ervice of the State at a time when they were e inast urgently needed, and formac , as it rere, a wall around which the present mnilita organizationa of the State was formed. 'uey enli.-ted for six months, and having ared their breast to the expected storm. per arwed the most arduous duties, and hav-ng Nen their State in comparative peace and uietude, are on their way to their homes nil families. When the frttnaes of the State rere vibrating in the balante, they rutshed ,rmward to the reseue and deserve to be re i ibered aion, the men who are entitled t he grateful recollection ..f the State. On '-ir march ther halted in front of institute [all and gave three rousing cheers for the ommanuder, General Beauregard, who had ever i.o:ne the least n-j.is:ice to the First kegment of South Carolina Volunteers i..e R *gime:It also halted at 1Headquarters, Id -aluted the Governor. Capt. WVarley imo.i delivered the R.gim~tnent over to the Gov rnor for further orders. Govertor Pickens, addressing the Captain, aturned his thanks and the thanks of the tale for the services of this portion ot this hle Regiment. He said they had been iled forth unie: peculiar circumtistances, at time when the State was in danger of an vas:on. They were cailed tirth under the articular protection of a resolution of the 'Invention of South Carolina. By a resolu 'ea of that body, they were put underspecial liarce o.f the kxecutive of South Carolina. [e oaked upon them with pride, and was "I p'sed to see t heui provided with, everything . cearv to their comfort, and to have theim i,?kedi nfion with the utmno-t favor and kind .iws a- due to their position as citizen sol tar. who had nobly volunteered at the first I1-rm to defend the honor of their beloved tate. Lit regretted exceedingly that anything tuld have occurred to produce a disturbanee t their ranks. Although they had not vol nteered to go to Virginia, yet there were rcumtstances which induced them to refuse, kat, to them, as volunteers, aight be justifi ble. He was proud to say they had not re +std from any want of patriotism or courage. in the contrary, there were many circurn :slde5s which were known to the officers of s: Regiuett alone and to theiselves. He knew they were as brave, as noble and epatriotic a body of troops as ever cane ,rward so gallantly to sustain the State. He ad no censure to pass, but on the contrary -tned then his heartfelt thanks for the able endurance and patience with which iy had nearly served out their time. They ad agreed to serve for six tonthie, at a time hen the State was most exposed, and we ,-re peculiarly situated. They had served the tretnches antd out of the trenches, illigly, cheerfuilly and of their own accoird. hey had served at the batteries and at ihe eights~ faithfully. manfully anid iruthfully. hey deserved the thinks of their State. Anid now they were about to retire to the nsomuiof their'families,.to receive their wel mne. He hoped they would find hapapintess, d he assured theitn that the intercourse he ad had with thema would ev'r be remsrmbt r-d ith emnotions of both pride ad plea.-ure. a-y were now to re-ceive an honorable dhis ~are, anad he haoped that they would findh iace and presperity ; that all unakmihaessI el unfriendly feelinps wouldl pass away with mc, andl should it he naeceesary to again call pon them to defend their State, he would sy upon thiem as ainong her most worthy Captain Warley thantked the Governior ini e tatme of nis commnand, for the kind man r in which he had spoken of the Reguin~nt. hey stood ready, if it was necessary for tany ore South Carolina troops to maarch to Vir nia, to move at once if paut under a rm ander who would not wronag them, but simply e them justice. rue Governer regretted that anything had :curred to mar the harmnony and good feeling ich ahoulad ever exist between the men d the olicer~s. He thought it would be tter to forget past ditierences. and that as ,as the men and the officers before him r concerned, let them have but one unii isal opinion of devoted patriotism to their untry. Let tnt absorb all other feelinigs te desire to serve their State in any eme. Thle Regiment then marched up to the ;tadel to deliver up the State arms. A numn r or them left for houie last eventing.

Who Has The Military Tralent? Waile Mr. Lincoln is baatfully threatena .gus with his~ array of two hunidred thaous .d meni, it may fairly hie questioned whether a as one mian in all his mayriads capable of. sauavering such ala host. No livinag mili .y cominander in Amierica has ever seen vaty thousan d disciplinied troops in one d v 'in the field. Anmericant Generals have ,i o experaenaco in the organizatiun arid a.agemaenat ol iarge forces. Witua the ex epjtiona of' Uenerat scott, now incapacitated irough arge, there is not one Northern Gen-. al capaiale of leading a force one-tenth the umbeir threatened. New iliitary talent has to be developed on 0thiisid., anid the advaantage will lie with the ary which can dlevelopeC it in the speediest asaaner anad the greatest nmeasaure. Here the Ivan. age is on the side of. the South. Her euple are more naartial than those of the orth, anad the best oflicers of the Uniteu tates Armay, even Scott hims~elf, bave been outhern amen. Most of~ these are -no~w ona ur side, and we have, thaeref ore, no reason to tar autbers.

To the Volunteer Regiments of the State. STATE or SOUTH CAROLINA, IIE:U.turrEas, April 26, 1861. I am informed from high authority :'tat the State of Virginia has adopted our Confederate Constitution, and i4 virtually a member of our Confederacy. I called for volunteers, because I did not consider Virginia as under our Gov ernment. But when I am officially informed that she has joined our Confederacy, I shall consider hce as part of our country, and to defend her or Maryland is to defend South Carolina. Whatevr troops may be orde:ed will be still con.sidercd as volunteers from South Carolina, and there is no power to lcngtheu or change their term of service; they are still volunteers from South Carolina for twelve nontlhs, and if they leave the State will be under the command of a general in the Provisi.;nal Army of the Confederate States. If two or mre regiments nre marched together out of this State, 1 will assign to theii' command one of our brigadier generals. who will command until ageneral be appoint: d or designated by the President of the Confed erate Government. One of our i.oble regi. ments is now in Virginia, and the Palmet:o flag floats from the beautiful hills of Richmond. Another of the same kind started last night. You will be enger to follow wherever that , banner waves. Soldiers of South Carolina! Hold your selves in readiness to march at the word to the tomb of Washi:gto'n, and swear that no Northern Goths and Vandals shall ever dese. crate its sacred precincts. and that you will make of it an American Mecca, to which the votaries of freedom and independence, from I the South, shall make their pilgrimage through all time to cone. Let the sons of South Carolina answer to the call from the sons of Colonel Howard, who led the Mary land Line in triumph o'er the bloody battle field of our Cowpens. Let them know that we will return that blood with full interest, and let them feel that they are now, as they were then, our brothers. March to Virginia mand lay your heads upon the bosom of this mother of States, and hear her great heart beat with new impulses for a renewed and glorious independence. Surely the good and tho virtuous of the Northern States cannot sanction the lawless anid brutal despotism now inaugurated at Washington. Be ready ! Stand by your arms-mark time to the tap of independence, and at the word, march tirward and onward t the border. Our glorious old si-ter, North Carolina, is with you, and her freemen are in arms. Join then in the struggle for defence; and let tyrants know that there are men who can smake them hear the ring and feel the weight of Southern steel. I shall endeavor not to expose our own State, and shall only march you beyond our borders under pressing emer yency; but wherever the Confederato flag floats, there too is our country, now and forever.

Mr. GaonGE DELA'GUTFnI, a private in the Cherokee 'onde V'olunturs, fell from the ears on his return home and was instantly killed. lie was about 28 years old, very robust, a good sol dier, and a good follow. His fate was indeed a melancholy one. Delays in Mail Transportation. There is general complaint on this subject over the country. Among others, we are obliged to bear with much of it. Our readers are not more incommoded by the mutter than are we. Com plaints come especially from Ivy Island, Colliers', Poverty 11111, Cold Spring and Rehoboth in this District. These mails go ria Hamburg. May we ask the good post-master at that place plaec to have an eye to theso utlices. We are sure, i: he will consider how earnestly all our people are awaiting the news, that he will do all he can to forward these mails with regularity and dispatch. And this we say to all post-mastersatdustributing offices. It is probable that Secretary REAuA, of the Confederate Post Office Department, will soon take thi business in hand, and then it may be ex pected that all will too the mark. Dancing. Participators in this graceful art now have an excellent opportunity of perfecting their accom plishments in that particular. Mr. H. J. Bats sxDEN, from Charleston, as will be seen from his advertisement, designs opening a Dancing Academy again in our town in a few days. Mtny of our citizens no doubt recollect 31r. Bntssrs t'rv's efficiency as a teacher and his deportment as a gentleman, in his former visit to this place last fall. His great success in Charleston as a teacher of Music and Dancing, drawing forth encomtiums from many of the leading Societies and citizens of that City, are also known to many in this vicinity, rendering it unnecessary that we shoubl say more in his ftavour. The Georgia Troops. A number of companies of Georgia Troops have been mustered into service recently at Augus ta. We had the pleasure of seeing theta in en campment on the Commons laist week. They are uncommonly goud soldiers in point of phisique, and seem to he rtapidly progressing in the school of the coldier. Several of the companies are al redv * tual to regulars its that regard. Georgia has now sent about twenty-three hun dred men to Virginia, besides a regiment or two to Pensacola. Of this number, the city of Autgus tt has sent eight companies,-all of them well appointed and the greater number reinarkably well drilled. Georgia is enacting her great part in the drama as was expected; And Augusta is by no means behind any other southern city either in spirit or in deed. Our Volunteers in Richmond. A most pleasing experience of Richmond, is that now cnjoyed by the gallant Carolinians whto tae gone to the rescue of the common cause in Virginia. As a letter-writer from that pintt says to a friend in this place, they have been honnored with " ono universal ovation."~ Not only have tte .authorities and citizens givens them whtole hearted welcome and' opened wide In theta their noble hosp~italities hat the fairer, the stifter and the batter sex have cheered them with smiles and cherished thema with those smaller lbut dearer Undnsse which only womtan knows how to be stow. Truly, it will be the brighttest episode of the war to these brave mn, and one whticht they will recall in after days (if spared thtrough the coftiet of arms) with feelings of equal pride and plasre. Thus received and thtus htontored by the sins and daughters of thte Old Dominison, it is imspossile that thtey can fail to prove by deeds of valorous daring that they are the worthy recipientts of this enthusiastic hospiality. There was never a doubt thatt they woiuld march on to victory or death at the cnmnmand of dty. lint they are now nered tanew, to the hight task they have ttaken in hand, by those strongest incentives to heroic ex ertion: the conftdent expectation of their country and the undoubting apilanse or "tdear woman," -yes, of " dear wromnan," that toaet which so many of tem have sung with zcst in thte pipling etmer of pece. hut whticht is doubily inspiring now that her safety is threatened by a ruthIless foe.

As going to illustrate the times, we copy a para grahb attributed to the Philadelphia Lcdyer. The latter portion of it would 'ceem to refute the argum met of certain New York papers, based upont the present dlepreciation of Southern stocks in the Norternm market. It is no indIicationu of thec real vae of such investmtents, as there is litertally "instarket for stocks just ntow." Says the Lecdyr: STere have been several failures among our moor chants within the last two or three days, in con seuneo of the dcrantgemettt oif business attd uit ttr inaility to utko colicetions.

Our Generals. n Among the Generals of the South, while expee- g ition embraces a goodly number, men begin al- b lady to look pith faith to two: DEA'nF.GAnD, I1 f Louisiana, and LFE, of Virginia. The qualifi- T itiuns of both these generals are attested by f tual service and by the common verdict of all ie military mtn of the Confederate and the ti Iited States. 1'resideut DAvIs, whose acumen i this as in other matters is almost unerring, has laced the stamp of his approbation upon the P >rmer of these ullicers by his prompt appoint tent to the first position of active leadership in to Southern army. WINFIEL n Scovv did the tmc by in act of marked confidence in the Mex tan war, and has given an equally emphatic u gueber of the military abilities of General LEs P y adivising Prcsident Liscol.s to call him, before c II o::tcI:, into the war council at Washington. C Vhile it is true that the times may give birth to i enertn's of high merit in every Souther:.State, itis P et cause of congratulation that we have these two d iofs to begin with,-both of them soldiers by ducation as well as by nature,-either of them 0 ia equal, if not the superior, of any man in the tI aks of the enemy, whether in point of scientific kill, of experience, or personal abilities. There d re others who have had equal experience and are qua lly brave and trustworthy. We only speak t f 1UPAtnEo.Ettn and LEE as at present the most rominent exponents of Southern generalship. f That their chosen vocation has been tl:at of ei rns, and this too from early youth, is a superad ed eause for looking to them with hope and truat. 1l1 generals have exhibite 'their military ten encies in this way wherever they could. The tan endowed with the elements of military sue ess will be sure to seek actual service wherever u e can find it,-in the ordinary peace service of is country's army, if no more inviting field pre ants itself. It was scarcely ever otherwise in the istory of the really great eaptains of any age. he common impression that WAsHINGToN was it cised from the plow to the command of the armies n i his coutary, has begotten an idea that in great mergencies we are to look for our leader where erhaps least expected. There never was a more rroneous conclusion. It was far from being true van of W.ntstavox. in the service of Virginia e began to display his military bent long before aturity. From that time until the opening of he revolutionary war he was always in actual ervice when opportunity offered; And to his in ec'ant ar.d laborious experience in the Fre:clh nd Indian war, not forgetting his participation u sich scenes as the terrible field of Braddock's -fent, may be traced the real clue to that gener. I Iship which saved the eolenies from British sub. uatioa. The chief additional requisite to the rule mi!iaary ttan who knows what actual service .by paticipati n and by hard blows, is that his tnergie:s h'eco-mp~aratively younag and unexhausted. :c als n-:euary tat his whole soul go with, hO case for whtich hec fights ;-and to this end ily s wli :hat his caulse, acs was thazt of WAstsi;vus. at ec the ,:...: of truth anad justice atgainast assault ndi asppression.
