EDGEFIELD, S. C,, NOVEMBER 6, 1861. Bingen. A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers, There were lack of. woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman's tears ; But a comrade stood beside him, while his life blood ebbed away, And bent, with pitying glances, to hear what he might say: The dying soldier falter'd, and ie took that com rade's hand, And he said, "I never more shall see my own, my native land : Take a message, and a token, to some distant friend of mine, - For I was born at Bingen-at Bingen on the Rhine. - -. "Tell my brothers and companions, when they meet and crowd around, To hear my mournful story, in the pleasant vine yard ground, 1 That we fought the battle bravely, and when the day was done, . - Full many a corpse lay ghastly pale, beneath the setting sun t And, 'mid the dead and dying, were some grown f old in wars The death wound on their gallant. breasts, the last of many sers : - And some were young, and suddenly beheld life's morn decline, And one had come from Bingen-fair Bingen on the Rhine. "Tell my mother that her other son shall comfort her old age ; And I was still a truant bird, that thought his home a cage, For my father was a soldier, and even as a child My heart leap'd forth to hear him tell of struggles flerce and wild; And when he died, and left us to divide his scanty hoard, I lot them take whate'er they would-Lut kept my father's sword ; And with boyish love I hung it where the bright light used to shine, On the cottage wall at Bingen-calm Dingen on , the ihine. "Tell my sister not to weep for me, and sob with ~ drooping head, When the troops are marching home again, with glad and gallant tread ; But to look upon them proudty, with a caint and steadfast eye, L For her brother was a soldier. too, and not afraid a to die : And if a comrade reek her love, I ask her in my -name, To listen to him kindly, without regret or shame: And to hang the old tword in its place, (my fath er's sword and mine,) For the honor of old Bingen-denr Bingen on the Rhine. "There's another-not a sister-in the happy days gone by, P You have known her by the merriment thet spar kLied in her eye; Too innocent for coquetry-too fond for idle scorn lug 0, friend ! I fear the lightest heart nakes some times heaviest mourning. Tell her the last night of my life (for ore this morn 1"g risen, My body will be out of pain, my soul be out of prison,) I dreamed I stood with her, and saw the yellow sunlight shine, On the vine-clad hills of Dingen-fair Biogen on the Rhino. "I saw the blue Rhino sweep along-1 heard, or seemed to hear, - 1 The German songs we used to, sing, in chorus sweet and car ; And down the 1.leasant river, and up the slanting1 hill, That echoing chorus sounded through the even ing calma and still; And her glad, blue oyos were on me, as we pass'd with friendly talk, - - .Down many a path beloved of yore, and well-re membered walk ; And her little hand lay lightly, confidingly in mine; But we'll moet no wuore h liingn-loved Biigen on the RLhiw,." Hlis voice grew faint, and 'haoarsor-shis grasp was childish weak lisi eye put on a dying look-he sigh'd and ceased to speak; Miis comrade bent to lift him, but the dijark of life had fled 'The soldier of the Legion in a foreign land was dead! knd the soft moon ruse up slowly, and calmly she look'd down On the red saind of the battle-falds, with lbloody -c'rses strewn ; T'es, calmly on that dreadful scene the pl.e light seemed to shine, As it shone 00 distant Bingen--fair .hingen on the E'nine.

The history of the days of '76, chows that woman was equal to those times which "tried men's soul," and the recollec :ion of their heroic conduct causes us still to herish their memories. And the Historian rho shall write of this, the second great imerican Revolution, will fail to do his whole luty lest he pay a glowing tribute to the la orious and self-sacrificing spirit of the fair laughters of our sunny South. To give some idea of the glorious work the ladies are doing, I will just state that the bove-mentioned Societies, in manufacturing mr uniforms and in furnishing us with cloth ng, have saved to the men in my Company t least six hundred dollars, which amount hey can now send hack to make glad the earts of the " loved ones at home." You re not labouring, Ladies, as some suppose, to elieve the Southern Cotnfedcracy. -The Con deracy is, or ought to be, equal to its own espousibilities.

Your obedient servant. JEROME W. WALKER, Capt. " Blanding Blues." Richmond, Va., Oct. 17, 1861. Shall South Carolina Escape? The New York Times is surely troubled ,t South Carolina should escape her due rtion of the terrible punishment which the ankees are about to inflict upon the rebels. finder the caption above given, it has the fol. owing blazing editc.rial: Although the loyal public is not lrtitted o know upon what part of the Southern east the immense naval expedition mmmw about ailing is to he precipitated, we think wn d , ot mistake in saying that it is the almost niversal wish of the people that Ch irleston, outh Carolina, if it receive not the present, may not long await a similar blow. If the ivernment would arouse the liveliest .-ym. athies of Unionists, in the South as well as a the North, let it be seen that a clear and istiuct memory is kept of the origin of the -ar; and a resolute purpose held, however the onlict may otherwise go. and whensoever it ay terminate, not to fail administering a earful rebuke upon that accursed city' and tate, whose crime it is to have originated the rar. South Carolina stands out pire-emiiuently in h unhallowed work o1f treaison and sedition. t is Soutl. Carolina that invented the words nulliication'' and "secessio~n," which hare vroght such nmischief, unoettling the finds j. men in regard to the rights of States un Ler the Federal Union. It is South Carolina hat has for thirty year' been a malcontent a the 6therwise happy family of States, and .u industrious p reacher of disunion. It is ~oth Carolina that incessantly muttered disi Ontenlt and threatened accession, until the ational mind became familiarized wvith the rime and ceased to regard it with that hor or which its euormuity should have inspired. ud tinally whenc the poison of thirty yea.rc' tealthy and treasonablo teachings has cor upted the South and prepared it for an in, urrection, it. is South Carolina that led the ray in the overt act of disloyalty. IHr Sen LtL'rs and Representatives were the first to 'yet'their seats in the Nationsl Congress, LU4 thua to prolrit; to the world a broken Lud disordered Union. It was one of these recreant mn---a true epresentative, however, of South Carolina reason-that proclaimeda the infamous senti nent in a public speech ini the city of Charles ;on'. whiile the State Conventiin there was undering the popular a)!pgiauce fron the sational Governnmnt: " Let us sei~um te . ars of the Federal Union as Samson did the illar of the templle, and drag it doivu. thio;:h e perish in the ruins."' Such waland1 1s th ~rue spirit of secession. It is inrmalc~u~ and le tructive, ready to involve thirty millhons o.f appy and prosperous people ini strife, rapine, loodshed amnd woe, to satiate the mnaice i~r bserve the amrbitioni of a nest of~ ii ,p ointe'd and disalleoted politicianis. of Southl Darolia, And wheun South Carolina's deeperate trea ion found imitators, and one after anatt.ie~r State threw off~ its allegiance, tiU seven lha ; me-evemi then the~re was hope of a pne, a be recovery of our National unity. The. Ii .r icr Slave States resisted the fatatuicism; and :le seven .sceeded States would b;.v: been rushed tider the odium of their i:.sum e - :ion, if the evil had stopped '&ith them. 3i he wiked plotters of' scassionu knew this, anud a fonfiet of arm; was-decreed inl order that the llow of human blood might madden ami over urn what judgment .was left, in thbe .ihitrd lave States. It was found lit that Fom h Darolina soil should be the scene of t his cro-.w ng outraga-, and in Charlestonu harbo~r thie on uign of the~ Itepubilic received its lirst wvou , u being lowered to art.., I sw.re m4 ii Jutry's parricides. The seat of en sirth was thus' made the aceus of its gu:ay .nitmnh. An Incident in the Cars. ,On the whole, plI.asant traits and incidents are not common in ,the cars, I think. This ppinion I expressed to my friend Somers the ether dav. In reply to my remarks, he rela ed a little adventure, which, as it is apropos. .nd moreover, involves a little love and sen iment, I give it without apology, in his own rords. It appears that in the most. unlikely daces, love and sentiment may be discovered. "I was escorting home the lovely Char. Otte D- ,to whom I was at the time quite levoted ; we got in.one of the crowded ave ue cars. Charlotte could scarcely find room D spread her crinoline, and arrange her voin ninous flounces ; I stood up near her, there eing no vacant seat. " After a few minutes canto in a poor wo ian, whe deposited a basket of clothes on he (platform, and held in her arms a small bild, while a little girl hung to her dress. he l.:,ke i tired and weary, but their was no acant seat ; to b:2 sere Charlotte might hive ondenmised her flounces, but she did not. 13. ide her, however, sat a very lovely and ele ant young woman,'who-seemued trying, by loving down closer to others, to make space nough for the stranger between herself and [iss D--. At last she succeeded, and with be sweetest blush I ever saw, she invited the oor female to be seated. Charlotte D rew her drapery around her and b!ushed. >o, but it was not a pretty blush at all, and ne looked annoyed at the proximity of the ew comer, who was, however, clean and de ntly thoungh thinly clad. "The unknown lady drew the little girl ui ni her hap, and wrapp~ed her velvet tuantle1 round the small, haltelad form, and put her puff over the half-trozen little blue hansi. "Su great was the crowd that -I alone emed to observe. The child shivered-the een wind from the door blew upon her Ut rotrctetd neck. I saw the young I ly qui. lv driaw from under her shawl a little crim ni woolen Bawl, which she softly put on the .,ouhlers of the little one, the mother looking n with confused wonder. After a short me, she rose to leave the cars, and woul.l ave removed the s iawl, but the unknown ently whispered, "No; keep it on, keep it ,r her." The woman did not answer, the inductor hurried her out, but her eyes swam tears, which no one saw but me. I tio ced her as she descended to a basement, ad I hastily marked the house. " Soon after my unknown also arose to de :rt. I wa.s in despair, fur [ wanted to foi uw and discover her residence, but could not lave Miss D--. . How glad, then, was Ito see her bowing s she passed out to a mutual acquaintance ho stood in the doorway. From him, ere any minutes, I hay letarned her name and ldre-s. "To shorten the story as much as possible, mat lady is now my wili. in the small inci !nt which introduced her to me. she showed er real character. A few days after our arriag e, I showed her the blessed crimson pawl, which I had redeemed from its owner, il shall alwaVS knep as a memento. There sometimes pleasant things to be found lien in unexpected places-certainly I may ive said to have pieked out my wife in the Rlemiinesceuce of Napoleon. In Is 10-that memoriahle year when Rome, .serdlam, l)anutrie, A it werpi and Paris wire ties of the sate proud uempirc-Napoleon 2I brou-ht his young bride to Brussels, and as received with great euthusiasn and pump. ii the morning aft r his arrival he reviewed me trotops of tihe garrison in the Allen Verte, d as the different regiments defiied before im, remarked a grenadier, who bore the trL(one ot a sergeant major.

Whenz the ne wats re-furmed, the Eniperor rode tip to ie rei-i emit of grenadiers, and called the -gea'at to the. f'ront. *The, heart of' the 0ld ler beat high, anid his cheeks glowed. " h ave seen you ba.I.re," said Napoleon; 'Noel, site" he answered with a fahering Ace. " Were you not in the armiy oif .Italy ?" bj, re; drutumer at the Bridge of " And you beanmu serguant m-ijtr ?'

The Emperor waved his hand, the grenadieri tur:;ed to the rauks, and Napoleon spoke Lpidly to the colonel for a few mements be quick glances of' his eye towards Noel uuding that lhe was talkitng or him. IIe had ei distijiished for his b~rav'ery in 'sve'ral attles, but his modesty had prevented his liciting advancement, and he had beeu verooked in 'the promotions. The Emperor eentlled him to his side. " yop haye merited the Cross .of the Lv ion'of lion''r," said he, giving himn tho ooe e wore. "Youn arc a brave mau)." The grenatdier, who at this moment stood etwen the Emperor and the Colonel, coui ot spenk ; hut hisi eyes said more than vtol mes. Napoleon made a sign, the drums eat. a roll, there wasm at ilend silenice, and the gEeetriing ttowards thie new kniismt, who rith tretmbl ug hianda was placing his cross pon his breast, said in a loud voice: "lIn the namie of the Emperor, respect Ser eant Major Noel as sub-lieutenant in your anks.' The rcgimnent pr sented arms. Noel seemed u a dream; anid only the stern, immovable eatures of the Emperor preventted haim from idling on his knees. Anoither sign wits made, he drunis beat. and again lie colonel spoke : 'l in iis pawoe of he Emper'or. respect. Si aiutenanut Noel as lieutenant in.youir rtnk'.' This new thuintder stroke nently overcamie he grenadier ;his knees trembled ; his eyes hat had not beeni moist for twenty years,~ vre tilled with tears, and he was vainly en-. leavoring to stattmer his thanks when he cada third roll of the drums, and the loud oice of his colonel: "In the namne of the Emperor, respect ~ieut, &NogU is captpiu in ynntr ranks." A ttor this pironmotion the tnmperor continued ms review with that cadnm, iajestic air, which ioe~ who bieheld ever forgot ; hot Noel, hurst ng into a flood of tears, fainted in the nrmna, if the colonel; while frtm the regiment came lu, united shout ofnie %,' .Vnp-ruer. Now, is it not desirable, is it not a duty, is it not more than poetic justice, that South Car olina, so flagrant in sin, should be made to feel the earliest and heavest penalties of war? < If a Southern city must fall, let Charleston he < razed to the ground, and salt sowed on its t ruins. If Southern fields must be desolated by the invasion of Union armies, let South Caro- i lina's Cotton and Rice plantations be marked t by the conquering advance. If slaveholding 1 insolence and tyranny must be humbled to a dependence on the Constitution and the I laws, let South Carolina's aristocrats learn to t tremble for their serfs in the presence of martial law. t There is not only just retribution to be ren- t dered in visiting upon South Carolina the 1 heaviest blows of this war, but there is an excellent Generalship to be manifested in stri- r king at that State. South Carolina is cor- t dially hated in the South. No State would have so little sympathy and so little snppart from the other States. In numberless wnys s the fact has become known in the progress of c the war. A few days ago the pickets of a Peznn-ylva na regiment had a friendly inter- v view with the pickets of a Virginia regiment t on the upper Potomac. A discussion of the e causes of the war closed by. an expression of regret on the part of the Virginians that they t had not a regiment of Soutlh COo,'linians to F shoot at instead of these Penisvlvanians. And ai this is b lieved to be a wide spread feeling t among the Confederate soldiers. s Is it wise to overlook such an adra:tage ais i j this in planning olfensive war movements'? c Let Charleston be assailed, and a feeling of trratifiention will possess the he.rts of three- U fourths of the Confederate soldiers, who, for a South Carolinas wrong, now suffer hardships I n the field. And, even if the orders were given to go quickly to the relief of that oili- I nal seat of reh.llion i-I its strait, many a mmi. kl hap would occur to track and train, knwia I to the comme: sold'ier, if not to engineer and t warm-aster, to retard the expedition o: the re- s hzet. Let the 1-rayer of Unionists in all the ; I thirty-f.ur States be hoard for the early and .t unsp-aring ohastisement of South Car) inn. t Amusing Incident. g During the first excitement in one of the c great Northern cities, after the taking of i1 Fort Sumter, the vigilance committees were t eagerly searching for secessionists. One of a thes.t committees, consisting of a bnnd of fur braves, came to the office of a certatin Dr. Ii., asking him why lie had not a tlag hanging b our, and demanding of him to show his colors. 1+ The doctor. an easy man of the world, told them, " Gentlemen, if you come to me on a busiuess, or even to pay me a friendly visit, yiu are welcome at aty of my leisure hours ; u but don't talk to ma on political stlijects, else I shall regret having to receive you im+ politely, and shall eventually very politely show you the door." Whereupon the four 1 braves left him. threatening to return and d make the "d-d sesesher" show his colors. h The next day, at the doctor's regular office n hours, a band of eight eamo denmotding of S him to imimesdiat.ly place the stars and strip.s a over his office, or something else w. mild he i shown to him. The doctor, sitting in his own easy chtair, smoking his cigar, very co-.ly re plied: " My good inn, lat moe 5tunt to, yon e all. onuce more, what I sail to some of you esterlav, that I will not perit anmv o:.e .. meddle with my d.ingln : taid tire, Ihat whetnr -.ou persist in trou'iing me I shah rid myself .. of you. 1Here I am a tran who hat se-n int-a. c les and ftted death mcre than once.

A Case for Connscation. Under this suggestive leading the Detroit Adrecl.r .gives the Yankee Government the following choice morsel of info rma:ion with r:e"ard to Lake Suiperior City : The site on v. idelh Lake Superior City is situated is owned princip:lly by Southern mte't. All the prolrietors, but. one or two at most, indeed, are from the Sontbern Suites. These men are R. M. T. Ilanter, of Virginia, member of the rebel Cabinet, J. C. Breckin ridge and L. W. Powell, the rebel Senators, and Beriah Magoffin, the traitor Governor of Kentucky, Win. Aiken and W. W. Boyce, of South Carolina, Sam Maggoffin, of Missouri, W. W. Corcoran and Geo. W. Riggs, of Wash ington.. Thu Northern men are the rcotirious .lesse I). Bright, of Indiana, an avrwed sceession i4t, amid a .fr. Beck, residec.ee not known. In view of these facts, it would seem to be the dut ''f the f overnnu-snt to inivenstig:t t ii matrr a flto a iview to the contiscation Iii that part t~f the i:ity which liidongeil to the rebels in arms at lent. Besides being a just pun ishient f'r the crimes of the traitor owners. its conaflcatiun would be a decided benefit to the cit. Exporting Cotton. Tho New Orleans ilulletin shows the neces sity of the modification of the exchange sys tem in regard to exports, not only as. a means of obtaining what we very greatly need for our defence and sustenance, but as an assu rance that our non -intercourse system is not intended as a menace to foreign powers: We have no war with .Great Britain, and we can have no reason 'tir wishing to bring "a grntt national calimuity," upon the British pelle. On 'he contrary, it is tr onr inter est. to cultivate tih moat friendly relations witsi them. In our present attitude, we +ay to them and to their Jovernment, in sub stance : " We know that you require cotton fur the very existence of miiiiosns of your peo. pit, which you have to sell : but you shall not have a bale of it until von necognise our in dependence. We will fu'ree you t, do it." This is virtually the language -of menace, though it was not so intended. and we know enough of G.reat Britain, or at least we ought to, to be thoroughly eoninced that the lan guage of menace, covert or open, front whom. soevcr and from what source soover it. iny coone, addre-ssed to that proud Gtvernmnttt and that mighty people, will never be listened to. Cpon this point there is no room for dot'bt. NEw Yoak CITY BeI na PCT IY A STT : OF DEFENrsi:.-The New York Journal o' Con trere contains the following paragraph; C ptain Foster. of the engineer corps, is pushing work on the Sandy hook fortifnatin with a force of over three hundred men. and will have it completed as a water battery or provisional defence during the fall.
