LATEST NEWS. . The Leesburg All'air Doubted. w The Charleston Courier of the 19th has this in 1 reference to the reported affair at Leesburg: b " The Richmond E.rcainrr says : Up to a late p hour last (Friday) evening, the Government had it received no dispatches, nor bad the telegraph fur- o nished any intelligicuce confirmatory of the re- e port of the capture of Yankee troops at Lovetta- b ville, near Leesburg, or of any action in that vi- ti city. The rumor is discredited." S The Augusta Chronicle of the 20th has the fal- o lowing : "The Savannah Xears of Monday has a J special dispatch to the effect that the report of a ti fight at Leesburg on Wednesday last was entirely b unfounded. Richmond papers of Saturday also s fail to give confirmation to the report." t P From Ben. McCslloch Direct. b The latest Mobile papers vouch for the authen- a ticity of the subjoined dispatch: u " The victory is ours ! The battle lasted six 11 hours and a half. Our loss great. Lyon is among h the dead of the enemy. We took six pieces of w artillery from Siegel and destroyed his command; u also captured many prisoners, sm..ll arms, &a.

The market closed easier, the advance being barely maintained. Speculators took 19,000 and exporters 10,000 bales. Fair Orleans was quoted at 91d. Middling Orleans Sid. The London Times is bitterly sarcastic on the Bull Run battle. Says the Southern nut is very hard to crack, and fears the question of the block ade will involve England in difficult complica tions. Lord Palmerston says the entrance of duty pay ing vessels into any blockaded port wipes out the blockade. A belligerent power may seal all ports, but when it lets any vessel in the right to blockade is gona. The London Herald says: "On the receipt of the news Napoleon resolved to recognise the Con- J federacy. Issue of Treasury Notes--War Tax.

As it seems not to be generally known whether our School will go on as usual under the parescut condition of things, we have thoaught it adlvisale to make some public statemeut in this connection.it Accordinxg to advertisement, it will openo again on Monday thu 15th of September. In regard to Teachers, it is known, at least to the immediate community, that one of the most 1 eficient, Mr. ltOBEm:r J. w.WrxEY, laus gone toI join our forces in Virginia. His palace will be fdlled by one entirely competent, whose services have already been secured. In other respects, the Teachers will be the same as heretofore. No positive arrangement. haowever, has yet laeen .. made in regard to a 'Teacher of Music, thoaugh it is haoped. that thais may b~e dune before the School< opens. Such an arrangenie.. t will at least be maade 1 as soon as possible. P'atrons are, therefore, as sured that the School will afford all its usual fa cilities, with the exception (poassibly) of instrume tion in Music for a short time. Shouldl sucabhbe the case, our pupils mnay well forego, far a short while in times like these, the expenuse of Tuition in Music. t Our Female Schools, as regards the Solid Branch os of Edlucation, should lay all means go on. Let( not parents persusade themselves that they may faar the present neglect the education of their chiil dren. Only let it be more souil anal more thar-r ough, especially with regard to their datughters. They will soon become Southern Matrons,-the wives of our brave s ns and brothers, who haveo gone to drive from our soil the polluting foot of e an enemy, whose vile lipas utter the worse thaan savage motto, "Booty and Beauty." Yes, let it be repeated throughout our land, "Keep your dl(aughters and young~er sons at school." The fur mner we may need for nurses and to manage all our home affairs,--.the latter, for soldiers ; for we r ought necer, xaysn to end this most useless and I unholy war until we have whipped our Norther n enemies into a proper respect for Southern rights and Southern character. ii Let our Female School here in Edgefield go on. It a.7.ll as usual, if the people of this community and District will sustain it with their patronage. I. tb...*1m...s ajat nothine hut a living.

Any. 3e, therefore, wishing to patronize the School in easily make some satisfactory arrangement eforehand as to the payment of Board or Tui on. We hazard the opinion that the United tates will be compelled to abandon its blockade Southern Ports by November or the first of C anuary next, and that the present war will end d is year, or by next May at farthest. If such, rwever, should not be the case, we are willing to .ay here and teach the sisters ar,d daughters of ose who have gone to fight in our glorious cause. - hysical inability prevents our doing duty on the ttle field; but we can and will serve our country ad State by doing our duty at home. And let at those who can go, or who have sent friends, h: Link all mean who do not go.. Many a brave tc eart beats with strong emotion among those ho necessity keeps at home, and who,-burning n dor a just sense of wrongs long endured, would n ladly exchange home duties and homes cares ren for the deadly strife of the battle field. hilo it is true there are craven spirits who wish a part in this struggle, yet nothing but an im erative sense of duty and physical inability eeps many a man from having a share in the >ils and glory of our arms. h To all our Pupils we would say, return to ti chool and resume with diligence your studier. t he arms of our young men will shield you from a arm, and when they return yours shall be their ward.

SQIJIEi1l C MP EINB .ERTI ER MANUFAdTURED AT Columbia, S. C., BY R. M. STOKES & CO. THE subscribers heroby notify the Farmers and Planters of the Southern Confederacy that they.are now establishing a factory for. the production of a commercial Fertilizer, which they believe will be found equal to any fertilizer here tofore purchased from the North. All the ingre dients of the SOUTHERN COMPOOND FER TILIZER are foundin abundaneo in the South, and only require the application of scientific knowledge to make us perfectly independent of our enemies, even in this particular. Our intention is to sell our Planters an honest and reliable Fertilizer, peculiarly. adapted, to our. awn soil, climate, and crops, and,-as far as posgi-. ble, shield them from the gross impositions: so r frequently palmed upon them by Northern ma nure manufacturers. Our Fertilizer contains all the elements neces sary for the food of plants, being composed of PULVERIZED NIGHT SOIL, POTASH, DIS. a SOLVED BONES, SULPHURIC ACID, PLAS- I TER and LIME. The manure thus formed, con taining a largo.per centage of potash and other alkaline salts, will render it inuable for cotton, and will be found to influence the growth of all ther crops suficiently early inthe season, though not quite so promptly as Peruvian Guano. It will bold out longer, and mature the seed perfectly, giving decidedly the best crops, and will show itself in most instances superior to Guano or many ther of the most popular fertilizers. We shall be ready to supply the Fertilizer about the 5th of September. Price, $45 per ton of 2,000 lbs., cash, ] bankable paper, or Confederate State Bonds. R. M. STOKES & CO. ' ,Columbia, S.
