The zeal of an intimate classtmate and the
warmth of tho'e who have no flatteringly
nominated me, have led to certain errors ir

not intend to avail myself of the communi

'rhe country is now heating her loudes

and effective men are needed in the army
and I am cnifident that I can be of greate1
service in my present position than in an.
other. Tin addition to this, the names of th<
honorable gentlemen announced fur the va

I do not pretend to ignore a nascent prid

Field & Fireside.
. ee the advertisement of this valuable family
paper. We have something to say of It at another
time.
Fell on the Field.
Another brave youth is to be added to the list
of the lamented dead who have given up their
life's blond for the cease of the South. Private
Wa'sixuoZOO WILLIAMS of Company "A," 7th S.
C. V., fell in front of the foe on the 13th Decesu
her manfully doing his whole duty as a soldier of
the South. Capt. HaRaIsox speaks of the do
ceased la the following terms of warms approval:
" I feel it my duty, as his Captain, to give him
praise for his many gallant deeds. A truer anad
a braver soldier never died. Ile was always at. his
s post, realy and willing to do his duty." This
frank commendation of his commanding officer
may tend, ineomne degree, to alleviate the sorrow
of his bereaved family and friends. The deceased
was shot through the breast and died instantly;
his body was buried by his comrades as decently
as circumstances would permit.
The Southern Cultivator.
Please refer to the short but sufficient advertise
ment of this faithful old journal. It still stems
1 the torrent of revolution, and still holds high the
banner of Agriculture. Will not the planters and
a farmers of the South sustain the old veteran ?
Our agriculture must weather the storm, or we
are a ruined people. It is surely as little as every
cultivator of Southern soil can do, to pay the
small mite of one do.lar a year in eadrncer for
the maintenance of a journal which has done so
much ansi is ready to do so mueh more for the cause
of Southern Agriculture.
Visiting Home.
i Adjutant CawtLS, of the 7th, and Adjutant Fan
asLL, of the 19th, are on a brief visit to their
r friends at home. The former, we regret to say,
e has been quite unwell since his arrival ; the latter
1 has the mien of a weatherbeaten vetersa.
Private W. H. Assay, of Abney's Batallisan, is
- also here on brief respite, looking well-preserved
' in every respect.
f We regret to say that our old friend, M. Lass
scat:.vs, who haa been with the 6th Reserves, is
sonfined to his cottage on the hill by a painful at
tack of rheumatism. We would all be glad to see

Noa iseideant of the season has grat~ied the hear t
of the writer sas deeply, as the cumplimentary vote
tendered to haim (for Catngresa) by Capt. han
sos-s Company, of the heroic old 7th S. C. We

this mark of apparoval from that disingnished

question, we shall yet as warmly cherish the vote
thus received as if it had decided that eloction in
our favor. Content with this kind manifestation,
and not wishing t-> interfere with any man's po
litical prospects, we stand ready to applaud the
choice oft tho Congressional District, beliovins
that it will be a ipor and judicious one.
The Soldier Reief Boards.
Gov. BosHss has by Proclamation Pruvided for
the tempoarary continuaces of the old Dloard,-a
thing which was left undone by the Lecgisleture.
The following Resolution camne from the House to
the Ssnate san the evening of taking a recess:
"IResolceed, That the Commissioners of the
several Relief Bloards, &'*., appointed under an
Act entitled1 " An Act to afford aid,"~ AC?., rati fed
the 21st Dec. l'6l, be and the seine are hereby
continued in otliee, anal aptpointed to discharge
the duties anal adlmitlister the relief provided lby
the Act passed at. the present session, Ac.,-the
appointtnent of said Cunmmissioniers to conitinue
until the adjournmuent sof the present session of
the Legislatuire, and ten days thereafter."'
This resolution was considered by senators se
riously objectionable because it continuedl on the
Boards some persons of conscript age In diroet op
position to ani important feature of the late Act ;
It was therefore hurriedly moved, to lay it on the
table. For one, we were opposed to this action
anal gave notice (which was all that could then he
dane) that If the Resolution were not thus dis
posed of we would offer an amnendmsent In the
shape of the following proviso, viz: Provided thats
the fRepresentatvs from eaich District shall a
poiant other persons ona said Bouasrds, in the place of
su~ A as are liabie to Confederate Cauneriptiona, ,oho
shll continue in ofice until th~e Boazrds shall have
beva regqularly organuized un~der the Act noate of fore.
The Seunte however laid the Riesolution on the
table, and there was an end of the matter. We
only dlesirea to make this statement to show that
soue of us in the Senate were aware of the omis
sion ahout to beo madle. We do not know, however,
that it has worged ay injury to the cause of Re

The Hope of Peace.
A week ago, it was said the cloudts were partiag
and the alain of the adventt of peace was begia
ning to break. But the days I ass on and the.
gloom of night, is still upon us. "" entlemen may
cry Pasre, Pear, but there is no pea'." flow
prone are we in this matter to
- Keep tLe word of promise to the ear,
And break it to the hope."
Gen. intaa's viutory turns out to be a drawn
light. The numbers of the enemy increase sud
denly on every side o~f us. The cry is still, " Thei
i,,a.." The deceptive light of a false dawn dis
an.pears. President Davis himseelf sees no pr's
peut of foreign iaterventian. The war is increas
ing in maagnitude. The fo abates not his enmity
one jut or one tittle. Neither side ap-proximates
a Anal triumph ever the other: It is night, un
mitigated night.
Per ('61ntra-We repeat what we have of e be
fore said : that the beet hope of coming day, is to
be found in the life-and-death struggie, which re
ally semss hastening to a crisis, between the 3lack
Pu-itans of the North and whatever of Conserva
tirm is left in that misguided land. In the mean
time, the South can do nothing else than stand to
her armss, With a determination that rests upon
Right anl is kept alive by Dty to cuntry and
Desution to principle. Thus standing, she may he
overrun, but can never, never be subjugated.
A Seasonable Winter.
Every line speaks in praise of the current win
ter up to this date, on account of its frequent cold
snaps so well adapted to the asving, of meat. The
farmers and house-keepers, generally, are report
ing a successful use of sea-coast salt in curing
bacon, and have been assisted materially in this
result by the favorable season. A quantity of
meat will by consequence be saved and the coun
try will be in that respect far better situated than
it was a year ago. Wheat too is coming on slow
ly and surely under the atmospheric influences.
A Health to Magruder.
The mails bring us good r.ews from MaeurpCaa
and Texas. That gallant warrior has evidently
taken hold of his Western command with a will
an proceeds to assault the foe with a vengeance.
A cheer fur the Lone Star!
A health to MAeawosa!
And God speed their blows
'Giainst the vandal intruder !
The country expected to hear something refresh
ing from that quarter and hat not been disapoint
ed. Fill up your glasses high with any thing you
can get, and drink a bumper to the cause in
Texas.

Good People.
There are some dear good people in this world,
as much as that ancient establisiment is now and
then abused,-somewho seem to realise the sacred
old text : " it is more blessed to give than to re
ceive ;"-some who know how to distribute of
their abundance in such kindly fashion as to
awaken good thoughts and good sentiments into
newness of life, where a callous philosophy was
perhaps beginning to instil too cold a's estimate
of human worth. With the new year theme kind
nesses have doubtless visited many of our read
ers, as they have us. From one, two, t i ree di
reetinna, we have felt their balmy, genial influen
ces, and hereby acknowledge them most thankful
ly. There are good people in this world, let who
will say nay.
