See the lnng list of suferers in this reaiment from the Murfreesbro battle, furnished by Maj !. C. littis. The I9th lass nobly done its luty. The praise and sympathy of all are with them. Declined. It will I eaen that Col. M. W. ([say and Cap tain Joax I. Bacos both decline the candidacy for Congress. 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 ahima out. -- Deserters Arrested. Three men calling themselves Husay Gi. MaL. vow, S. G, KeLLtY anal J. Mc.Cur.t.coa were Sbrought to the jail st this place on yesterday by Citizens FASIL, llcanas, Swainrsteis andI Bor. vose.

A Prized Conuphimsent. 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 have not words to express our appreciation of this mark of apparoval from that disingnished suree. Not having aspiread to the piosition in 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 gyIn conseqtuenCe oaf the Csngressional etee tion being ordaserd on the 20th, the sale of the personal estate of Dtvtn Rusi, dlec'd., has been post.one until Theaday, the 22d inst. 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. 4. --+--- - 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.

Innumerous 'quick-freshes,' clear and cold. Open their chryatal throats, and ever pour Their bick'ring symphonies, like nerves of- gold, In the meer's urn with tinkling, durie rosa. III.

Eft gossamers elance from spray to spray, And weave their lither woofs with subtile pow'rs, And prank them with the Iris-hues they bray With gauzy plumes from ever-blooming dow'rs. V.
