Good. The Charleston Courier has struck a vein of satire singularly fresh and racy,-" taking cff," in its cool way, the captiousness and self-impor tance of military cirillians in a series of interrog atories designed to circumvent those querelous individuals by a gradual reductio ad absurd.u,. Our contemporary should be careful not to pile on the agony too high "all of a sudden." Out of five of these delectable queries, which affect to demol Ish the Governor's late message, we select the first and the last as specimen bricks : 1st. Has the Legislature been informed that excellent rifles were made many years ago in Lex ington by Quattlebanm, and that small arms of any kind have been and can be made in Charles ton? 5th. Has the Legislature been informed that Cotton grows in South Carolina, and that Cotton by the application of a chemical agent, which could and should have been procured in abun dance after secession, would have furnished an explosive element in quantities sufficient to have guarded every inlet, roadstead, harbor and bay on our coast? It is to be hoped that Governors and Presidents will hereafter understand, that they are expected to compass heaven and earth, and Lexington Dis trict, for squirrel guns and new combustibles, with out reference to the experience and wishes of generals and ordnance bureaus. Hit 'em again, brother Courier. Another Lot. Miss ADLA BoEKNIonr, Secretary of the La- c dies' Aid Association at Mt. Willing, remits the e following list of articles recently furnished by I that Society for our soldiers' benefit: a Sent to the Hospital at Charlottesrille, ra: 19 t pillow-cases, 9 bed-ticks, ' pairs socks, 3 cakes r soap, 2 common and 2 double-wove blankets, 4 sheels, 4 towels, 6 quilts, 4 countsrpanes, 5 lots of o old clothes for bandages, 2 bottles camphor, I of t quinine, I of honey, 1 jar pickles, 2 bottles cordial, i. 4 of wine, 1 of laudanum, 3 of lemon syrup, I of vinegar, 1 of catsup, 1 package of bread, 2 hand- C kerchiefs and I pair slippers. g A varied and useful lot of sundries. These la dies have also sent latterly to Capt. Dasyv's corn- b pany a bundle of quilts and bed-ticks, and have on hand ten pairs drawers. Go on, fair patriots, in this good work. As the winter advances, your soldiers will need your kind aid more and more. ir It does seem to us that now is the time for all our Lidies' Associations to awake to action with re- it nowed energy and zeal. .A Navy for the South. A western exchange says: "Suppose the Guv ornment at Richmond should establish Navy Yards at some ten suitable points in the South, commence at once, at each of these points the work of ship building, giving to every man who e could fell a tree, or hew a stick of tiwbtr an op- ti portunity of paying in labor the tax that would C be necessary to meet the expense, who does not see that an immense fleet might be constructed in l' a short time. Wo are not unaware that many things besides tiunbers will be needed fur tLe 6 great work, but this only enlarges the field tf e enterprise. In wood and in iron, in copper and ? in cloth may men be found ready to exercise their slkill." Many will say to this brief and blunt proposi tion: - Easier said than done." To be sure it is; but does it not become more and more apparent that we must do things ten thousand times harder than words to efect our disenthralment frem the Lincoln dynasty. If the government could and would do as'our ce temporary suggests, and it were u made known at an early day, thousands of hands could be reserved front the cotton fields next year to hasten on the heavier portion 'of the great work. Locate the navy yards, and enroll the workmen at once. If such a thing can lie dune, why not attempth it ? Is it not wisdom in the South, to hasten all wpanner of military prepuration, as if the world t were against her ? Let her reckon upon herself alone in this struggle, and rapidly put forth all her resources. The plot thickens aind the Gaul is In the gate. Fur the Advertiser.f An Appeal To the Catizene of the Lower L;attalion', jth .Rgi amenat, .S. C. Militia : e F Ferarow-CmZENS,-Recolleet that Capt. PnEs corr and his men are still in the service of the Confederate States, an-l will be for several months ' yet, to fill their terms of service. Many of the privates in the Company left their families desti- e tute. Well do we remember the long line that was drawn up in front of the line of volunteers, and pledged themnselve.s, that their families should be provided for during their absence. The Red h lill Vigilant Association and citizens generally b ealled a tueeting and made rrangemnlts, pirovi- ~ ded for the destitnto famnilies, each individual a contributing a small amount. The plan worked o well for a time, but for tihe last meeting or two tl there has been a marked falling oflf. The mect- Ii lags have b~een poorly attended, and very little a interest seems to be taken in the welfare of the I destitute, when they stand as much in need of the common necessaries of life as they did. when their husbantds left. - Fellow-citizens, where is your pledge ? Where t1 is your patriotism even without a pledgo ? And e what right has one that pledged himself to with- 'l draw, more than another ? Well do we recollect 1k that at the last meeting but very few attended; but that few still determined to redeem their pledges as long as they have anything to divide, 3 or their pledge expires. Fellow-citizens, will you not come out and assist in redeeming the united pledge? Or will you leave it for a few to hear the burthens in which all are interested ? We C deem it a just and noble cause, and it is your cause as well as ours. A Few otr -ru PLP.DGCD. 0 N. B. Next Saturday (the 7th) is the regular ~ meeting day of the Association.

MAniCD, in Barnwell District, S. C., on the 13th Nov., by the Rev. E. Morris, dlr. i. S. MAYS, of Burke County, Ga., and Miss BEDIAR FRANKLIN, of Elgefield District, S. C. OBITUARY. DarAItn this life on Friday night, the 22d inst., at 12 o'clock, M., at Charlottesville, Va., Private LANGDON CHIEVES MOBLEY, of Company H1., 7th Regimnent, S. C. V., eldest son of Mrs. SusAN E. and Dr. W. S. MOsLY, just en tering on the 21st year of his age. It is indeed a sad and melancholy duty to chron icle the demise of one so early and so suddenly struck down by the relentless hand of Death, and whose future bid fair to exceed even tho most sanguine expectations of doatiog parents and confiding friends. Kind, affable, and unobtru -ive in his general demeanor, he was a model for many of more mature years. Whilst prosecuting his studies at Edgefield Vil lage-a call having been made for volunteers to defend the rights and liberties of our common country against Federal usurpation and aggres sion-he laid aside his books, left the school room, and although physically of very delicate organi zation, yet in his soul dwelt the fires of Patriot ism,-rallying to the standard of his country, he was resolved to strike a blow in her defence, leav ing the consequences to Him that '-doeth all thinirs well." In a letter to his Father dated Nov. 1;th, he uses the following significant lan guage: "I am now tolerably well drilled, well unough I think to go into Battle ; but 1 am not only ready, I am willing, if I mrust use the sul emni expression, to (lie in defence of my country. My Father, if I never return home, if I never meet you all again in this world, thank God, I have hopes of meeting my parents in ileaven. That is a great consolation I have. Amid all the excitement we have, I feel perfectly at ease." Truly it nay be staid he fell literally at his post when on Picket duty, and was borne by kind compainions in arms to the tented field, from whence he was removed to Charlottesville, where, after two weeks of patient suffering, his happy spirit, released from its frail tenement, winged its upward flight to commune forever with the "spirits of just men made perfect." In the summer of 1S57, he made a profession of faith in Christ, and united himself to the old Rced Bank Church. where many living witnesses hear testimony to his upright walk and exemplary con duct.* * Sheriff's Sale.
