Yuu will see th it our Coanoil is determnel to do u .me. Thing groat before it goes among the things that were,---and we hope their present plan of opera otuns aili work well. But we exceedingly doubt it. It nas appearad to us all al..ng that the Cutr rederate War Department, with the aid and advice of Congress was the protper originator of all mess ures or defence, in whatever Stete,-hut epecial. ly those States which are easily accessihle to Con federate troops. That agency is at all events the one which the country hoalds resl.nrsible and to which all eyes from every quarter are turned with hope and eouuldence. We are clear for keeping that responsibility heavy and undivided. And we can't see yet why the Conscription 8cheme (as extended by Cangress) is not sufficient, for all present purposes of defence. If it be st, why hinder its regular operation in raising melt fortkhs tear by throwing into service a body of citisen s'ldiers whose term of duty will scarcely permit them t., became s-- tstoumed to the manual of arms before they are remanded to their agricultural pursuits. Nevertheless, let the experiment pro u-ed, and let us hope the beet results from it. Let us Lops that the Y okees will give us a chance to Aug them fairly while the Reserves are still in the field, and not dally on, like a pack of ninni hernmers, until next March or April when the li-serves will have been quietly domicilled in the country again. We shall see what we shall see. In the mean time the Legislatare meet., and is ap p-.inted by the Convention to decide what .hall become of the Council and all Its Autbrity and Acts,-if indeed the Convention itself dues not meet again in view of the second grand emergen cy which approaches our coast. Well, all hands to the wheel and on we go. Our Government (Confederate, we mean) lives and learns. Things have worked badly perhaps in many ca-es trom sheer inexperience. But as we gas we gather konwledge and wisd'r . And now, the Confederate military Authoritie, te just be. coting fully adequate to the exigencies of our wa..n:non cause; anl this is another reason for leaving the management of the whole war (as far as practicale) entirely in their hands. Let us tell you here of something very cheering we wit neused the other day in the city of Augusta. It w.as ar immense Confederate clothing establish ment, ju.t put in operation, in the spacis.nu rooms, neu;sicd by Kat'rsan A Cs'. a year or two ago. not far above the good old Augusta Hotel. We were kindly crried through this large and busy w.rksh:op by the polite oeer in charge, and felt a glow of gratifieation at the assurance front him that in less than a week the house would turn out fiee hundred suits per day. And it is of so warm andI duarable a kind too,-Kenaueky Jeans, lined through and through with the best homueapua, and made top faithfully and beautifully. To in 'ua hi. est, a bigi, prte-1 iat---one. dottar a pair for pants. and one dollar and a half for the jackt,-the stipulation being that the work he proporly dlone or nn pay. Active busitness men are caretu.lly sup~eriutending the whole matter and 1' e g.od work goes on rapidly, tadding to the weni and ensmfsort of our army whilst actually dii tributinag a large and wholesome charity to the poor women of the whole surrounding country. You may be euro it is a good thing and we are rejoiced to realise that we have a Government that is abic, williog and anxious to ptush its ener gies industriously in all the departments of duty that demand its earn and attention. The splendid supply of material here working up is mostly composed nf wha't was brought by JixAns and 5sxrra from Kentucky, and that army wilt be the first recipients of clothing from this emporium. Many think wo shall have more pinching times thruhout the (South this winter titan heretofore. But we .tan't think co. There has certainly been raised an unprees..entedt!y large suoply hoth of arn and meat, and, unless the drain fnr Gohvern mentl purposes he exoerbitant,. we don't see why the. oeople should not 'wnake both ends toeet' easi ly enmngh. If th- speottlators are stopped in their transactiuans and if the farmers will not h.'ld their rources beyond their actual necessitis, there ought to he enough fnr all, both in the cities and in the country everywhere. Dot talking of speculators Confound them ! they are the eusrme of the land this d-cy. If they trafficked with any view of doing good by carrying needed articles into desti tte naeighborhoods at. liberal hut fair profits, no one would perhaps object. But when they buy to hold on for high prices, whem they buy in faet to con troll prices ; and, when able to dn so, extort from a suffering people an inexcusable rate of gain, they are tnot only bad men in the abstract hut they are co-workers with enetniem and traitors in the cnncrete. T.o aenght to see the vultures am as we hare seen' them', watching their chances at the city anctiosne,-gleating over their own rapaci as if it were n demonise delight that grew by what it led upon,-littlo etrange faces peering after this; that and the nther article as it came up tnder the'auetinneer'a hemmer-a good many of them Jewish faces, as Dr. BIAcu5SA observes, but the Christian ones (God save the mark !) twice as ugly and forbiding as their Israelitish enmpeti tors,-esch one hanging around the counter, for. gerful of country, honor, virtue, patriotism, duty, -of all save his little soul, and the dream of ain with which it rocks its reprobate spirit to rest. How good it would be, to see one of our best and higgest aoldierm take them, eensecutively, by the nape of the neck, and fling them iota soe pit espocially prepired for them, where they might ontinually hear the auctioneer's going, geoing, 75n3, without the ability to see or tc know what wet or at what price.

Capt. W. S..Patsasox is now at home to re ceive articles of clothing for his cempany. It would be well for all friends to call on him, to learn precisely what things are most needed. Lieut. J. T. Beasauo, of Company " C,"- 19th Regt. is also in the. district for a like purpose. Clothing and blankets will be most gratefully re ceived. Deriver the things promptly at Mr. J. a Sa r's store. And be it remembered that thi. company, by reson of late forced marches, it nearly destitute of the articles aboe-temntioned. All absentee from this Company are requested by Capt. 1. R rtr.

The Cry of the Muterers. A petition signed by ten suffering women af Edgoefild, all from the same neighborhood, is in our hands for publiestios ; but it appears to us more proper to withhold it. They pray the State Authorities to do something for their relief, and allude to their privations in the pitiable terms of unaffected di.streus. Their husbands and sons are in the Confederate service and these sufering tnem bers of their families unprovided with the aever saries of life. This must be amended. The fami lies of our poor soldiera must be sustained. If the country is not rosily to do this, it is not ready to be free. But we believe it is ready and able to du it, and we call upon our Legislators to look the question full in the face and act promptly up to the necessities of this demand. Fire and Loes of Property. The ta'nsion of Mr Jous Fate, five miles be low the Village, was totally destroyed by nire on Wednesday last. The accident occurred in broad day light, from the earoleesness of a servant in the upper story, and resulted In the loss of a great prt of the furniture, including several hundred y.rds of weollen cloth.

Will nut she find a resposire sentiment amuung those upon whom she calls ? " Help the culdier and you help yoaur. self " is bscosae an axiom. But the appjeal is to a higher feeling than that of celf. The ca-ddier should have an open door, through which to enter each man's and woman's heart, on account of his bravery and fidelity, not to speak of the inestima ble privileges ho is Aighting to cave for this same man and women. f#B The Const,atioauIrt of the 11th report. anther fire-in Augusta: jigs is vina Ersenv Dsstc.-There was an other fire in the 8tlh District last night.

Is it to 'e said by the truthful historian that the Ares of patriotism have sn early been extinguished in the 1 busoms of the irst secessionists, who, two years ase, were sa Aeres and warlike ? Did they act by the promptings of passion and rashness! When war, terrible war rages, are these same men, worth their thousand, of dollars, to remain at home, in ease and comfort, and not assist the ladies in their elorts. Mr. Editor, the times of danger are ra pidly rolling upon us ? Will men, living In this far-famed District, the birth-place of some of the mest distinguished names that grace the annals of history, sufer their minds to bee-,me so absorbed in the pursuits of gain. that efeminacy shall take the place of that seasibility which has heretofore characterised Edgeleld citisens, thereby placing them en a level with a race who prefer money to freedom ? BdgeIeld soldiers occupy a proud position wherever they go. Let it not be said that ALL the honor, the chivalry, the patriotism., and the sneis of the glorions old District has gone to the tented told, and no..ght remains at home but a struggling mass of avaricious, se1sh and sordid beings. Eodgeleld soldiers dot every in vailed spot-in Virginia, in Tennessee, in the West, ali along our own coast,-wherever danger is there our braves are found. .euch men are worth; of all that we ean possibly do for them. Come to the rescue. ye planters and men of wealth and auenne, and their suferings shall be speedi ly alleviated. Edgeteld soldiers have suffered severely in this war. Proudly have they sustained the old Pal metto lag in many hard fought battles-often has it been bathed in blood and made to droop over its own glorious dead,-but that lag never bse been and never will be dishonored by the sons of Edgeleld. Can men of means and position continue to re maii indiferent to the wants of our Soldiers? Many h.ve responded, and many more will res pond, for we verily believe the people will d", their part. The Rdgeeld ladies-marri-d, sin gle, old and yusng,-even the dear little girls are bringing in their contributions. With them the days of 'I are being revived all over the land. Since my proposal to raise a large amount of money fur the soldiers, the whole to be increased one-half by the praiseworthy contribution of Mr. Gama. the fair and accomplished daughters of our suuny clime, have stepped furth and nobly resolved to wield their inluence in clothing our brave defenders who stand destitute after hard won battles and long exhausting marches. And if the ladies can only be sustained by the wealthy, a cre.!itaile amount will soon be obtained.

Rtcxaosn, VA., Nov.10th.-The acounts of the Yankee raid ini Frederickbburg, Va.. are very confused. The enemny have certaiuly evacuated the town. Thu Richmond Dirpatch says that the enemy attacked the camop o~f Col. Chamber-' cenaand, .d captured 25 er 38 mecn. A small body of Con federate cavalry made. a dash on the etnemy, and released most of these men. The Richmond Enquirer estimates thme Yankee fore at 75 cavalry, and says that they were rout ed and retrea:emd in the wildst confusion, leaving I dead, several wounnded, and 10 prisoure, in cur bands. Our losa was I killed and several w->unde. It is repi'rted thtet the enemy is engaged in tearing up the railrosd about Manassas. Sharp skirmishing is reported in Faugnier and Lioudoun cunties. The enemty is in strung force, and a general en gagement is anticipated. Significant movements are in progress along the line of Lee's army ; and a battle between Jack-. sea and the enemy is expected on the Shenandoah. The Tankees captured at Fredericksburg. speak of the daring snot successful raid lnt., Maryland by Stuart. 'They also state that Englandi andi Prance have recognized the Southern Confed.-rey. No importanee is attached to this last statement, and it is generally discredited. Skirmishirng is reported near Warrenton, be tween Hiampton's Legion and a portion of Seigel's Cavly.. The Richmond Egraminer, of the Sth, says- I There are reasons to believe that the enetuyv con templates an early movement against Richmnond. fron the South side. There are said to I.e 50.000 Yank es 'in the line tot the Norfolk anti Peters-a burg Railroad, between Suffo'lk and the Black water river, and a report rtached here last even iig that a large additional force were lending from transports at some point on the Roanahe river, with the design at marching up-on Weldon, aund cutting off our railroadl commtunication with tai South. Without being prepared to say what :..ap..r-.kanl ha~~ ae enakaae to tMa rn...-. .we iave reason to know that no movement from that uarter is likely to take the Government unawares.

They I state that Seymour's majority for Governor of N. York. in the State, is estimated at 17.000. The iron clad steamer Webauken was launched at New York 'an the 5th inst. Gold was quoted, in New York, firm at 121. From Richmond. Rcawxor,. Va., Nov. 10.-The late Northern elections are the theme of general conversation and discussion here. It is conceded that the Democrats have a clear majority in the next Con gress. The Richmond Examiner regar.la the result as eunter-balaneing the disappointment which the Southern people feel at the speech of the British Secretary of War, and says, that unless the Demo crats stultify themselves, recognitioi or treaty with the South will be the early act of the Demr' rats, when they .et in office: but this act will have no real operation, nor wi:I they have control of the Government of the United States, until the cluse of the next year. Late Northern and European News. Recaxoa, Vt., Nov. 10.th.-The Richmond Enquirsr has received the New York World, of the 6th inst. It states that the Paris journals are still commenting on the late proclamation of Lin coln. Many believe that within the next month the Confederacy will be recognised by both Rng land and France. When it comes it will be like a clap of thunder in the Emperor's brusque way of doing things. The resignation of M. Thouvenel as Minister of Fpreign Affairs, and the appointment of M. Druuyn De L'Hinys in his place, both of which are announced in the Moniteur, is an unfavorahle synpton ; for Thouvenel has, all along, been oj posed to intervention in our affairs, especially to an alliance with England far that purpose. rits successor is regarded as decidedly Southern in .is views.

There seems a voice upon the evening air, To calm the p:.rent'a grief and sister's care ;. It conmes in mercy to the moiurner's ear, And bids the sorrowing eye dry upeach tear. It is the still small voice of God's great love, Calling our thoughts to the bright realms above, Where the flown spirit of a generous youth, Sings with the seraph choir of love and truth. He ne'er will come again our eyes to bles, But calls us to his home, free from distress, Where saints in glory sing in chtrua high, And endless joy beams forth .'rom every eye. A Fataxn.

With her last utterance she sang a portion of that beautiful hyun, con menring with " On Jordan's stortaybanks Istand."
