Present to Col. Bacon.
We learn from the Richmond Dispach that {
Mr. Doswell, and some other citizens of Rich
mond, have presented to Col. Thos. G. Bacon,
of the 7th South Carolima Regiment, a valua-.
ble hurse, called " Mars." Col. Bacon ac
knowledges the compliment in a handso , e
manner, in a letter, (dated June-24,) to Mr.
)%swell. The Seventh Regiment has been
pushed forward to the outposts, and we truly
hope that the gallant mel who now occupy a
iositiion in the very flout of the enemy will
he supplir d by the Confederate Government
with suitable comforts to enable thetm to en
dure the toils of the canpaign.
We make some interesting extracts from
Col. BIcon's letter :
- We are within about tive wiles of 5.000
of the enemy. A bslioon was seen last night
atd tv:l tim t" -Jay, from my camp in
the neighborhood of Alexandria. They view
'ur position front it and tecgraph the result
a, Scott. I suspect they will feel easy new
at they have ascertained our strength in
tl.i- vi' inity. Replort. .says the 5 000 above
spck.-i of, at. Falls Church, have started back
to A;exii dria. If they do not start by Wed
1csday, I think we u ill bag them. Mfy re i
muent iinmer,--tUen, be:ides about 71) n&
groes, wi.o will light like thunder. We are
in good heslt:i n'id spirits.

Tit: FIGHT AT Bc-T:t..--Thie Naslvile rAi.
I." has received the following ".lweial
:ro:n Washington dated June 19, 1i1:
A Government messenger ba. at last ar
i ived! giving th: otieial account of the battle
at (licat Ilite!.
It is now ascerteined beyond a doubt that
the Federal Is will not fall short of one
tilusand eight hundred, killed and wounded.
The rt-port to G seneral Scott says that Gen.
'ica une Butler is not to blame for the ter
rible slaughter; he was fully two miles in the
rear.
The victory to the Southorners was owing
to a great mistake on their part. It is pobs
ivelv asserted that their cannon were eharg
d wiih ball cartridge, and although unknown
to those who loaded the gurs, Magruder was
:..gniz unt of the fact. The .orth Carolina
regiment, it. is also believed, used both pow
detr an-i ball.
This conclusion has been arrived at by the
e:.tire engineer corps, who state that shot,
shell, Minnie ball=, and particularly rule car:
ton tills, will kill when properly directed, at
ca-t tive timleS out o' ten.
The report caused great a.citenett here.

'o. Orr has gone to Ijichuond ot busines

zighly probable that the regiment wii be or
Ired into camp in ten or titteen days. As
.oon as the order to encamp has been obtain
ed Capt. Perrin's company will be ordered to

Mr. Tucker on Treason.
Our readers are aware that Mr. it Wofford
Tucker was arrested at St Louis for alleged
treason, in uttering Southern sentiments. He
has been since bailed out. He comments as
follows on his arrest:
"Never beft re have we been char.. d with
the coutinissiton of any crime against ilhe h ws
of ,our country, or against the law of morals,
or against the laws of honor, or aninat the
d:etates of decencr or proiri iy. For the luIst
time, thee, in our lives, we .tand charged with
the commission of any recogi:ised offence
against law. And this ihence involves a
Charge of the highest degree of guilt anr
shame-which, if true, would sulject us to
the doout of the felon, and h'aekein our name
with everlasting itifamty, which, in its blight
in;; etfects, would descend to our children and
our children's children, and cover thema with
shame. This charge of crime is made under
the solemnities of an oath, by .Johu 1). Ste

therein charged is positive'y and uncondition

we know that every allegation of criminalty
therein made, and as inade and intended to
be made, is an unqualilied, unmitigated false.
hood. John L'. Stevenson has sworn that
these charges are true. The. pending inves

ipiition, and to that indignation if his IlUlow.
countrvnitl, wiih wil follow hit to the
grave. We are not aware that we ever iiia
that ptrsontag any harm. We should be una
ble to indent'y him in a crowd ulpu the
street. I .e abused his privileges in the Mis
souri House of Repre-eutatives, by lugging
in our natle, and attempting to cast ridicule
upon ns i.ersonally in that lornm, where we
had not :he privilege or the right to reply.
This was the tmost striking evidence of those
attributes of naliness and of' those senti.
ments of honor which greatly distinguish him.
We do not value this piosecution to the
amount of a rush candle. We stand in an at.
mtuophere from which we look down with in.
finite eontettpt upon the blood-thirsty. vindic

Augusta in July.
IT is near 9 o'clock, P. M., July 1st, in No. 12,
Augusta Hotel, we indite the current par:
graph:i. It is warm, but not dirtressingly so. Two
windows on the street and a doer opening upon
the stairs-landing, get up a gentle breeze between
them; and an occasional nflIication to a ritcher
of ice-water upon the table makts one feel as
comfortable as need be in July.
The tramp "under the gas-light," as Miss Aa
NIe B.ot'. expresses it, is neither heavy nor fast.
Nor a earriage or omnibns rolls by. Next, sever
al biped. detonate the pavement in panssing; they
are nut soldiers, for it ean be heard that they are
doing anythiu tut keep:ng stcp; perhaps a little
tight, as the " hbl-.fee'' has nott yet given put
in this city. Now another vehiele, somte other
stragglers : and then "like distint waves retreat
ing" all i- ahnt, a ilw"g barks, ani the elock
strikes oine.
No luo.quitucs yet,-astway we hear none
and feel none although the bed there is very
nicely covered with a net suggestireof the sharp
nosedi wretches. Probably t/ir '' re-gu of terro.r"
is not yet insugurated for the seson. But Au
gusta is not .sing to be the uneotnirtable summer
city i: has heretofore been. The watering systsIn
is working well. and prceserves some frerhtwa of
atturphere .on the streets in the hottest and dry
w, athu r. The -' rnt.get-.. way h ave reason
to gh-ry in thi cire-nimetance, nd even oeeasional
visitors will bless the man that conceived this
admirable idea.

Why, the people are just beginning to show
signs of life. The walk end talk below increaccs5,

to be of that grade) has aetually strn-k up a jig.

Xr.rt morninj. Chickens grow voiferously in
Augusta of a July morning. This morning the-y
are particularly el:ironish. It is just duwn aiss1
they seream in one continued chorus. The ehick
ens are right.; for is not this the ouly really pileas
ant part of a suttte's day ? and wio would'nt
.row, if lie could do nothing else, in thankfulness
for the early nu.rn ? But we must awuy. Our
realess are awaiting the news; and we, their ser.

iur bi.lgit is nire of the fullest. A good steep

The Confederate Tariff.
Free Trade is (sr should Le) the ubtimate policy
of these Confederate States,. But that for the pre
sent is impossible. The governnent has to be
put in full operation and the war expenses mist
be paid. So we ire comupelled to have a Tariff
tier revenue nit the outset. The one recently per
freted is unexceptiornhae under the cir:umstances.
and we regret we cannot lity it is ert'no before
our resers. A glance or two must rtifice fir the
nonce.
Articles are taxed oil coloren,, except in a few
instances where specific duties operate better. Of
these last, we hind i,:e taxed $1,511 per toin, wi/ 2

The Fourth o! July.
To-morrow is the so-called " anniversary of our
national Independence." For seventy five years
ar.tI m"re it Lacs been annually welentaed from
llo.ston t, New Orleans, with reju..dings and bon
tires, dinners and speeches, and all the multifari
tuis dn of - trumpet. drnm and fiddle." Iut we.
opine its glory is now departed, and that for
ever.
Some of the journals South urge the cntint
afnC of its eelelbrati"u: but there .seems to ie lt
ile iraelinati-m among our peopie, I. ,10,., et
least, to set upon the suggestion. A much higher
.tu:y absorb's :dll thoughts at l resent. The South
is putting forth her stinngth to estnblish and per
feet a neaw order of things: and, nt to use scrip
mrl language irreverently, the - new distensa
:iun" i= very alyt to sweep from our bulrders the
old regime and its observanees.
Ani why not? Although respt'etfully and often
enthusi tienilt y e'i clhrnied at the Fonth. the
"Fourth of July" has for a lung time beenyjstr
,..,.tllenr, the great ay of Yankeeduoodledtm
rproper. Fran the big city fenst where Yankee
grandees led the vwy: and whcre some Yankee
,steturr s:rniited his lungs at " hlnil Colunmbiahap

the day had become all over Yankee. When the
South. under the exaetions of an oppressive Gor
ernmment, began year by 3 ear t" find less jay in
nan tnniveriury which secmued a mockery amidst
her wrongs, the men of the North, revelling in
their gains, increased the furor of their p:triotic
.etmonstrait ions. As the hopies of the South con
rinucel to sitk, the brighter glmtwehl the tires upon
the Fourth of July altars of the North. It was
evident th:, the day, while in name a cuttmemo
ration of 1.::st t:ve'nt, was in relity a remiering
up of lieuichjabs to a present governn' mt which
was doing whatever its increasing powers enabled
it to do, for the aggrandisement of one section at
the expense of the other. Thu- had the Fourth of
July bectme dead to the South, and perverted
und desecrated by the North. And now that the
Union is defunct f.,rever, it is r'a:nrnl that the day
shoui be buried with it,-or else he turrated over
absolutely to the North, to retminl her people once
a year of the faithlessne.s and fully witieh have
led thetn o:n to the destruction of the fair work
of a lpatriot ancestry.
It is true eno igt that we at the South have itt
one sense the only jmst claim to the proper cele
brtiton of this day.; For we only are thle conser
vnturs of those eternal principles of justice which
I guided the patriots of I ,iti. iut the day i. held
t., he the tml du, of the .1 smeeirit I tl :Ind
will he so elinuied by the North. Such as they
have made it, let them have it. In Felecting an
other antiiersary for the South, we can carry t.
it all our reverence for the past, and encircle it
with all our hopes of the future. And this selue
tion will be', we submit, a legitimate subject foi
the c nsideration of the Confederte Congress.

in several respects. They stand the winter better.
and are really a better article of diet, ce'rtainly t
