Then let 200,000 more be sent by sea, to operate in sundry column: from the Atlantic coast, capturing Charler ton, Savannah, Mobile and Pensacola.

The following article is extracted from the Columbia Guardian of last Saturday ; we sup pose its proper date should be at some point Ci in Virginia, probably Richmond.-Ed. Ada. bli To the Families and Friends of the Carolina Volunteers. It is a well-known fact that sickness thins the ranks of an army much more thinbattle, I and especially so when that army is cot. Ju posed of young in of careless habits and th tender constitutions; and it is equally well ry known to those who have given their atten t tion to it, that the most troublesone, deiec. in _ tive, and negleetcd part of an army arc its A hospital arrangements. Medicine and physi- t eians there are in plenty; but to collect and provide nurses, clothing, nourishment, and the many comiforts essential to a sick room, especially where a war of great magnitude l has been sprung upon us so suddenly, is be e yound the power of our newly formed gov- A ernment. Individual enterprise and voluu r tar' aid must here supply the unavoidable defic'encies of a crude und hastily organized - government department. Already the noble ladies of Virginia, in the proximity of our forces and the military hospital, have ad- g; dressed themselves to the work, and words ne can faintly describe the kindness of hearts and the gratitude of their patients. They 1 have nursed the sick and suffering themselves, provided them with bedding and clothing, wholesome food, and the delicacies which are so wanting and grateful to the convalescent. l They have served out lavishly of their purses - and stores, and still devote day and night to t the preparation of the diet prescribed by the - attending surgeons. But iieso ladies cannot, and the Virginians ought not to, be left to bear alone this hean est of burdens which oppresses our armies. f We have felt this ; and a number of us front u Carolina have come here, and, establishing ourselves here with a view to permanence du ring the war, desire to carry out a system of bn aid, which will, we trust, meet the hearty ty good-will and co-operation of every fireside in Carolina. Accident has thrown our sick an- wounde. upon others, and it is only just de and humane in us to come speedily and ellc-t tively to their aid. Let the people of our State do their utmost in supplying their sick and sutYering with clothing und food. To do this eliciently, we hava, after consultation with nan at home, and the good people of , Culpepper, and the military and medical au thorities in the depiartiment, set on foot the following scheme: Several Carolinians, for whom the under- as .signed are agents, have provided themselves n with houses at this point, and the various fr points where our sick are carried, and will supervise their condition and see that their wants are properly supplied. fr Our object will be threefold: 1st. To obtain nurses and attendants, and 1i to see that these do their work faithfully and di-creetly. d. To provide each sick Soldier, gratui tously, with comifortab!c beds and coverlets, fresh linen and clean clothing ; to supply him with well-cocked and wholesome nourishment; iand to carry out the prescriptions of the at- F t. nding physicians. li Ud. To carry on for the sick any corres pondence lie may desire with friends and Stamnily at home ; to keep these last inforined tI of his condition, allaying their anxiety, and roothing his troubled mind ; to perform with friendly hand those last sad oilices which their own family would render if here. ti f Those of us who are engaired in this enter . prise are willing to give our time and service l and means to it, but this would be as nothing 5 to the demands upon us. 11G Carolinians are now lying here., 500 have already been here aiid been administered to. Let then our pee ple come nobly up to our aid. Let each rfamib- make up from its store-house and I closets a box of hoispital coatforts for the g Ssick. Let the various churches and associa. io:.s make subscriptions of money wherewith ~ to hire competent nu.rses and pturchase sup- a plies. Let each town and village have putblic fmeetii:gs, anid aippropriate i:noney for the p sniek and wouiided of their district here tunder a . tirmis. Let these stor~es and conitributionsm be jcollected ait ojnce, and be sent ini here against b .the day of the battle. Wheire contributioni is asmall, let Leveral families umake up a joint , -parcel. An agent for us will he in a few days . pointed. in each village, who will lorward these to us ; but for the pr senit let each one s .n:d his own, marked ' xer. R. W.

Whereas, it has been found that the uncer inty of maritime law, in time of war, has ren rise to differences of opinion between utrals and belligerents, which may occasion rious misunderstandings, and even conflicts; d, whereas, the Plenipotentiaries of Great -itain, France, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, d Russia, at the Congress of Paris, of 1856, tablished an uniform doctrine on this sub :t, to which they invited the adherence of e nations of the world, which is as follows 1. That privateering is and remains abol ed; 2. That the neutral flag covers the enemy's ods, with the exception of goods contra nd of war; 3. That neutral goods, with the exception contraband of war, are not liable to capture der the enemy's flag ; and 4. That blockades, in order to be binding, st be effective; that is to say, maintained a force sufficient really to prevent access the coast of the enemy. And, whereas, it is desirable that the Con leate States of America shall assume a finite position on so important a point, now, erefort, Be it Resulrel, That the Congress of the yufederate States of America accept the 2d, and 4th clauses of the above cited declara )n, and declino to assent to the 1st clause ereof.

ELAND of the " 96 Rifles." The Captain says in a note 'accompanying the letter, "If you think our friende would like to s read this, you can, brush it up and precnt it." "Like to read it" indeed? And who in Edgetield 1 will not? And as to undertaking to "brush up" b a letter which (to our notion) is in the true inili tary style-not a bit of it. Many faets in few words, ahould be the epistolary desideratum of the day. We commend the preseut model to all correspondents. "SAVAOU BAnn.tarrv.-The Lincolnites took two prisoners of the South Carolina Regiments, , at the battle of Bull Run. When our troops paes.

The above appeared in the ('rolinin some days ago. We hope it may prove to be incorrect. as late letters make no mention of the circum~ stance.

There has been issued, from the Steamer Power resses of EvAiss & COGSWF.LL, Charleston, a taphlet history of the late battles. A copy is fore us, and merits the praise of being very :atly gotten up. The matter of the pamphlet cms to lie composite,-some fromi one source, me from another, chiefly from the letters of [r. SPR.tTT. There is but little in it that has not ppeared in the papers ; but there it t somewhat parer arrangement of the events of the battle tan we have yet seen. Of the r.ew matter the ost important is, that on the morning of the :treat fron: Fairfax C. 11., "General BtEAit:E .tant was hurriedly .ent lir and quickly came to te scene of action, when he ordered the retreat hieh has proved to he a brilliant strategic move ent."

The trick ras discovered by a couple of South C;'rolinianr, owever, just as one of the scamps was in the act f firing, and he met the fate he deserved. A uwber of other appareutly dead bodies lying in ho vicinity attracted the attention of our boys .nd making an exaniihation They discovered no iss than a half dozen of the cowardly dogs pick. ig off our men at every shot.
