*Concert for the alarylanders.
The patriotic Philharmonies of Augusta give a
grand Concert at Concert If all on 'Thursday night
next in atid of the Murylaind troops in Virginia
ungaged in nighting the battle. of the Confedarate
States. These brave mcon hs ive sacriniced overy
thing else but their personal independence in
taking arms in 0u? cause ; but they hold this
sacrifice ligh tiy comimsred r~ith thu prospectivu
dientrallmient of their stn:.e and section from
the sway of fanaticisin. Still, owinst to the pre's
ent dIiinceul.tios of their private cireumistances
these troops aire deprriveid of mnaiy comiforts which
they wouldl otherwiso have at comrwandl. Exer

the privilegu of assisting on thie occasion, nd glad

honor us with their attendianc~e. It will be a
union of the effortiaif Augusta and Edgelieldl, and
surely must he piroduictive of the muost harmonious
results.
The Mennest Yet.
Among tho itcent, thieve.ries in this vicinity,
one has been mentioned to us, than which we can
not at thsi~ miomenit think of nisy thing meaner or

Young Soldiers, to your Studice!
It is nrgeal in many quarters that the young
men of the Soiuth whio have left their collegiate
and academien pursuits for the war, should as
soon as possible return to th:ir crrlleg-- and schools
with redoubled energy. President DAvts, it will
ho reaeutbered, has expressed the opition that in
making soldiers of these we are "grinding our
teed cru." We learn that the propriety of re
turning students to their respective institutions
has also been warmly sanctioned by the Generals
of our army. Unloubteily, where the energen
eice of onr defence have been eomparatively re
deemed by an abundance of troups, this course is
ttiroly right and proper, and ehauld bo gener
rally adoitted. Let the banners of l.iter-.ture
and of Seience still float nuongst us in serene
beaty. We have~t met our houstes in order to live
and noat to die. T'o the Church then, aata to I/ar

1jy )car Clelutl:-We have pitched our camp
upon the spot where Col. J xntss charged the
enemy's battery on the 21st of July : and I nt
now writing beneath the tree whore fell Capt. Me
wtL.ttx, of Mississie while gallantly leading
his mean to the confliet. Some of the tents of the
7th, nuw rest but a few fot from the cold graves
that contain the heroic dust of the uufortuunte
5th. M:ur advnxicing and retiring, marching and
couutermarclit.g, occupying an. abandoning every
tillage and ban.!et from this place to the Potomac,
ap;&reutly either camping or picketing upon every
acre of land in Fairfax, at the end of three months
we find ourselves upon the battle field of the 18th,
and but a few miles distant fro:n the scene of ac
tion of the 21st.
Te-day I have spent in wandering about Manar.
ass Pl:in', musing over the stirrir.g incidents of
thcea momentous day,.nud looking upon the nuner
'cusly tenanted graves that thickly dot the earth
around. .Here and there the grass has grown
luxurintly upon these hillocks, but the greater
number still present a fresh and bald apperane
the surface of the turrounding earth attesting by
the number of bones of man and beast the terri
ble struggle-and even at this late day the ddsir
of decaying bodies Is quite dis:greeaWs.
This place is about 11 miles from Centreville,
which last pl:aee presents ait preiet a uiit inter
eating aud imposing appearace. In the evening
long before the run has aet, the towering mountains,
whose summits seem to touch i.be very heavens,
cast their dark shudowe oter thi. eueier.t and di
lapidated tuwu. The place, which six months ago
brought to mind Goldsmith's Deserted Villags, is
now literally a city of tents, with regular Streets,
thronged with inhabitants; all -the poip, pride
andI circumstniee of g'lorious war"' presents itself
as we look down from the brow oif the hill upon
the nnwy-whiite encamxpmlents arcuind. Upoe~n
the ridge harby we arcecting :h- or six breast
works at about four hundred yards apart, wbicb,
when comipleted, will enable u., to hold in cheeck
at this point a vastly superior firce;-the fact is
when viewing thu .surroundiung country from thi
