" We have got to the point where our dan

said and remembered is that the army in the
field ia not Lincoln's army, but ours; that the
prosecution of the war is our affair, not his. t
And, having laid this to heart, let us all be
frank, and confess honestly that a people in
puen a state of mind as the Southerners,
with armies of so much pluck, spirit, and en
durance, and so well led, as they put aad keep
in the field^ cannot be subdued by any force
that is not composed of the bone and sinew
of the North; that is not composed of men
who will fiirht for love of the cans?; who have
something more than a soldier's respect for
the flog; and who are animated by higher
and better motives than toy hired alien or
Southern field band can ever be."

Barbarous and Destructive Yankee
Bnidon Niuecy-Six.
On Friday night last, at thc dread hour of
midnight, the sleeping citkeni of the vicinity of
Cbappell's Depot were urousid by tbrir terrified
domestics, and informed that the Yankees were
at their doors. Three hundred truculent ana
bloodthirsty Hessians, " full of strango oaths
and bearded like the pard," hadjilrtudy reached
Fellowship Church and burned that sacred edi.
See; three hundred were busily engaged in
knocking Ninety-Six into a cocked hat; while
three hundred more v. ero marching down through
?, eurent with fire and sword. Fearful was the
j alarm, and wild the excitement. The ladies rose,
and hastily seen ring their sjlyer and ^en elry,
entered their carriages and were driven ?ff fran
tically. There are many unprotected females in
that neighborhood, and we imagir e they wpre
emphatically ?'on the rampage." Bat let ul
make a long Etory fhort. There v.ns m.?. a Yan

Sheriff's pcssu of three men attempted to arrest
certain nagroee in the vicinity that bad been with- j
held by their masters from Coast labor. Thc

three huudred Yunkccs. The Sherill's posse'of

A Word to the Sober Sense or tb?
.Peopled
*The prcising necessities of the* present ti
call very loudly upon.tho people to look wei!
their ova concerns, and to ascertain, if tltey'c
thc cause of their pecuniary difficulties, and
enormous coat of living. The first and gr
cadse of the pr?tent famine-price of provis!
is the conduct of the"Government CdmmisBion
for a."i?epeiug the price of ?rain. With the i
tives of tbosefgentiemen vre have nothing to
and ebal! say nothing on that peint." Weconsi
th 'question simply ip a -financial Tight; and
that aspect we are' bound ie pronounce thu c
duct cf there Commissioners ss marted hy tbe tn
uir]iaralleled ignorance. Just at tho time wi
the new Currency Hill had commenced its ope
tiona, wbep several million (of Trcofury Kc
had been withdrawn from circulation : on
day whon the people bad been promised that
cur roi. ey would be improved iud the cost of 1
ing diminished, these Ce mmtesiun?rrs cornel
ward-ilka thc evil genius of thc*country-J
an tho temerity of thetr ignorance, by one fe
act, defeat sttterly all tho legislation of Congi
on thc currency question/ They .desho/ed efl
tually Uy their decree, nil that the ut i ed wied
of thc country bud done, or could do to roil
tbe currency.- When they raised the Gove
mest price of corn to $b? they struck a fat kl bl
at Government credit. It was net so niuch
mere apvunt Of money that the (J o verna:
would.loso by the increased price of corn, but
injury was this. Ju.it at the moment when
whole country was exy%ctiugjan improvement
thc euri ency, Government officers taiso tba pi
of corn 100 per cent in n dtiy ; thus proclaim
to the public (bat, potyitbstanding all Congi
had done, the currency of the country hod
prra'otid, und would continue to depreciate. Th
proclamation bad the cifoct-wo de not sa}-1
desired or anticipated effect-lut tho ?ff-ct tl
every aeufible man foresaw. It destroyed
onco tho conjideppe ef tho public lu the new isa
?nd carried ,up the prico of everything to
present ruinous point.
The question now prcsonte itself : "who is bei
titted by putting bread at famine prices?
answer, no one-but every member of the co
munity ?? injured. This we hope to show y
Who isbouefited by putting cora at Sin a bush
Every man, we suppose, who has corn, to si
thinks himself benefited; am is just this i
lusion that is ruining tho country. Suppos
planter has corn to.sell, and bc git g th? mar]
price-$10 or $15 a bushel. This money bc m
either spend for tbe necessaries of life, ?ir inv
it in property, i. e. land and negroes, or in Gt
eminent Bonds. It will b? remembered th
having no . pffeie, bread has become in the Cc
federate States, tbe standard of value; and
the price of bread rises or falls, so all other co
in od ?tie,? rise or fall iu proportion. Thus wh
? com sells at $10 a bushel, you will get no n?<
meat, or cloth, or sugar, cr salt, fora bushel
cum than you would if corn wee eelling at $1.1
If you want to invest money in lands or slav
you find the same fact staring you in the fa>
The people arc under a most fatal delusion tl
they are getting rich under theso high prices 1
provisions. Ker its it anything new. that a/wh<
country should be fatally deluded upon a fina
cial question.. " Tbe South Ssa Bubble" in t
reign of George 1st, deluded tho whole Eagli
nation ; millions were sunk and thousands of i
nocent persons hopelessly ruined. If the peor,
of the Confederacy can accumulate property
this time, it will bo done in oppesition to all ti
received rules of Political Economy.
A man WM. nover known to grow rich by tr
ding with himself. This is just the condition
th? people of this Confederacy. Tu whom is ti
Planter and tho Manufacturai selling his grai
and bia cloth, ?ie ?el ls ? sr " fenfederato Nuts*
und consequently to the makers of those note
But who is the Drawer of these Treasury note*
The common answer would be : the Govermnen
Now wc know that the Prower of a note is r
?possible for ita payment, tbat'he can be sued i
law, and hi? good's sold to satisfy thc note. Bi
we opine tbut it would prove rather an unprofit:
ble business to sae the Confederate Governmci
for one tb ugand million dollars. It might tm
out a aidfci ?ona case. While thea tho S?cr?tai
ti the Treasury is the" ostensible drawer of tbei
notes, ho is in point of fact but tho .ayent of
Company. The Principal, the renontiblt part
fur these notes, it the peoplo of thc Confedera!
Stetes. Tf tbcae notes "are ever paid they mui
be paid by the people of tho Confederacy.,
It would be well then for the Planter and Manu
facturer to .understand now that when he is sell
ing bis goods for Treasury notes, he is selling fo
bis own paper. He promises to pay the holde
of the said potes so many dollars in gold or til
ver coin six months after a treaty pf penco "will
the United States. Heneo the exact amount o
promissory notes issued by the Treasurer, wil
be the amount ef the debt wbirh thc people wil
have to pay at tho end of this \.ar. Now tb?
amount of that debt will depend upon the ocst e;
the war ; and this cost will deptnd upon the prk*
that Government bas te j .-?j for provisions and
clothes to supply tbe Army.
Hence it is self-evident that if tbe Planter md
Manufacturer require thejsoveraguent to pay SS
instead of $1 for food aud clothing to supply.the
Army, they will Lave a debt of five instead af
ono to pay at the end of the war. Instead of
accumulating a national debt annually of one
million,'they are in foot waking a debt of five
milliun. Tbe question recun : who ie to be
benefited by the operation ? Tho antwor is
plain ; tb e people generally must be ii juro .
The debt at the end of the war will bo paid,
or it will not. Take either alternative you think
most probable. If thc debt is paid, who ?MO
pay it? The people of the Confederacy; ?here
is no other supposition pasible. Hon id ibis :o
bo dene ? These Treasury notos mu.-t be funder ;
the Government will Issue bouds for the amount
aud establish * national debt. Tho interest upou
t",BiO bonds Must be pt i J annually-and thc
money te pay tils ?nteres; be collected by taxing
tbe people. Now if flutter* and Manufacturers
continue lo dem 4P d from tbe Government tfjo
present enormous prices for bread and cte th, at
the end of- this war tbe national debt will amount
to some 1---or 3 thousand million dollars; the
debt is already oue thousand million.
- If the nation detenu jue* to pay the debt, which
ip honesfy. it is bound to do, thea tbe people wijl
be burdened with an amount of taxation greater
than any people ever greaaed under. Thus the
men who now think that they are growing rich
by extorting from the Government will finally
be forced to disgorge their ill gotten cains-and
th nt in geld and silver.
But let us take the other alternative-that tbe
debt will not bo paid. We repudiate ; what then ?
Upon when: will the loll fall ? Certainly upon
tho holders of Treasury notes. It can fall upon
non? ohm. And a here wiU thc loss fall heaviest f
Upon those surely wbe are now gathering large
amounts of Treasury notes by the sale, of their
goods. The poor will have little to lose, fer it
now requires the expenditure of r ?ry dollar
they get, to suppor' * from it .o day.
If to avoid this risk, the Planter and Manufac
turer, in their madness, determine net to reecive
Treasury notes at all, they will net thus get rid
of the difficulty. The war mutt be carried OB
sud will bo carried op, Au J if Jheso who hart J
the supplies.needed for the support of the Army,
refais io fl! to the Government,, tier e is but oae
alternat ?rc ?eft : namely, the" Government mest
take these arricies, ?nj; tc the Planters asd
Manufacturers certificates'' of indebtedness paya
ble After tho-war. And wa are itali ned tu the
opinion that this after all would be the bert sys
tem tl it thc GeverLiuect could now adopt. It
would prevent an cxaesaive iciue, an,d thus arrest
a depreciation ef the currency ; and no mau
would lose ono farthing by it.
If what wo have ard be true, ?hut the pceple
?re stiling their produce for their ?wu nut?*, theu
they would be jubt aa well ? ff at the end if the
war, if they were now, by common cuisent tu
*?ree to furnhb thc Army with food and. cloth,
inj without any of tbe Intermediate fwitu.

At tho recent meeting of this Association, a
plan was suggested by Rev. 5. MANLY, D. D
which proposes to educate all tbe ncody children
of Edgefield Soldiers who have died, or who are
Uow engaged in tho service of our country.
This plan was oordially adoped by the Asso
ciation, aid a Committee, consisting of me frcm
each Church, was appointed to secure all neces
sary information. As Chairman, I now address
the members of that Committoe, asking their
prompt and hearty co-operation. I desire you
to ascertain how many such children in yonr
respective neighborhoods .can be induced to at
tend school,regularly, prrvidxd their tuition be
paid, and all m eei arv School books bo furnished.
I desire ali? to know what schools arc within
reach of theso children, and what prospect there
may ba for establishing schools in communities
which bare none, ly uniting with parents who
aro able to educate their own children.
Brethren, the objoct in view needs not a single
word of eommendatlon. You will endone it
with the whole heart, and H host will bid "Gad

Enrolling Officers.
The country and the times demand, that En
rolling Officers- should place in thc army, in ac
tire tervice, all men liable to Conscription, who
arc-employed at home, in gambling and otheiteiie
breaking the luict 0/ their ceuntry. It is an in
sult to the people and the army, that blacklegt
and law breaktrt should bo detailed to remain at
hom?, to demoralize the people, and lAe youth
etpetially, when the gallant blood of honorable
and law abiding citizens is poured forth on every
battlefield of thc Confederacy. Enrolling officers
who approve of the applications of such parties,
are responsible to the people and the army, and
will bo held to a strict accountability for the in
dulgence of a suspicieus favouriteism. Tba
times reqnir.? that wc should again coma forth
from our seclasion.

Thc muni tony which abaractartze* lite in our
ul Iago, in these dajjfcof war, has been recently
interrupted by several entertainments for tb?
benefit of the sick and weary . soldiera bf the
Confederacy. On tbeeveaiog of Friday, August
I2ih, tbe new Hall of the Academy was crowded
at nu early hour with those wbe had assembled
to witness a series of Tableaux hythe children
cf ibo school, assisted by some of lb? ladies of
the village. Tho tccnea were all very beautiful;
and were {-neted with loud applause, especially
tbe cumie representation of a Pant.mirna,- illus
trative of the effects of the universal paeeicn for
telling and bearing ghost stories'. The exhibi
tion was a complete success, ' as was testified by
tbe frequent bursts of applause, and the many
earnest requests for a speedy rope ition of the
entertainment ; as well at by the more tangible
fact, that, na the nextjnerning, the accomplished
and talented Principal of thu School forwarded.
$700 tu. Kev. Dr. IUcnjtAN . for the benefit of the
Hospitals; tb? result of theoffo/ts of herself und
cecdjutura. Nor must wc forget to mention the
tuble bountifully supplied with a feast of edibles
by tho lady refugees, who thereby added con
siderably to tho proceeds of tbe evening. ' **
On last Monday ?vening we had the plcaaure
cf attending another entertainment, at the eatue
place, under the auspices of the same.*patriotic,
ladies and gontlemen, ascisted by the talented
Corps (<? Amateurs who have given a aeries of
Concerts ia Augusta. The introductory fantasia,
by Professor ILSLSY, waa truly a treat to tba
-music.laving portian of the audience, who were
delighted also by his beautiful accompaniments
ti the songs of the talented Miss Li'o?f of Edgc
fi cid, and his interludes to the recitation of "Thc
Soldier in his blanket," by Dr. Coe THU: ru Wo
have seldom heard onytking more ' eloquent than
Mr. IU KN 1:3 recitation of " Bingen cn the Rhine,
which appealed powerfully to ibo .heurta and
?ympathies of many of the audience, who have
lost loved ones on the field 'of bettie. Many an
eye became moist and many a britt was touched
by the words pf the dying soldier. There were
ulso a few beautiful Tableaux-" Night and Mor
ning," "Tbe Exile of Siberia," Ac; but tba
chief features, of tho evening were the inimita
ble comic songs of ?Mr. IUUSE:;, and the con
cluding Pantomime of tho-" Tin trumpet," rep
resented by him and a cHirati of Charleston,
now a merchant of Augusta. 'Ibo supper table
?wes furnished, op thia occisbn, by tbe ladies of
'the villago, and g*ve no evidence of the bard
times, of which every one has to much to say.
Tbe inclemency of-the evening kept many at
borne, who were anxious to a-lterd, but >he pro
ceeds of the entertainment amounted to nearly
$700, and were forwarded to the Soldier's Belief
Association.
During tho war, the peoplo of onr village have
given mott liberally to every charitable and pa
triotic purpose, but I believe thia is the first oc
casion en which any publicity bas been given to
their'good deeds. The village is represented in
-almost every Regimont which South Carolina
has sent into the fit-Id, and as there is no family
which bas not ao.no loved ono in service, the
hearts and purses of tho people are ever open to
! the wants of the seldier^ altho' ia many instan
ce? their gifts age os tbe widow's mite.

?&* It is reported that the yellow fever has
made its appearance in Charleston, and that
there ara some fifteen cases in tho City. It is
also said that eomo deaths hare occurred frcm
tbe disease-.
ty In Dsaitur, Go., the Rev. MT. Holmes,
an aged minister, was ?but up in bis own beute
by Che Yankee? an d thc -heure burned, the min
ister perishing in the flames. Mr. Homes' offence
was that he had a gun in hi" hand when they
took bim, at his own gate.
No Di SPUTE ABOUT UER.-Another rover
uf the s cae, a very swift sailing and staunch
vessel, the '* Tallahassee,*' bas commenced tbe
work of devastation upon Yankee commerce-.
About ber status, neither the Yankees nor
their foreign sympathisers can rai*e ar./ quib
ble. She waa armed, equipped, manned and
sailed from a Confederate port. Uer officers
and men are all Confederates, and all pre
viously in the Confederate service.' She ia
commanded by the dashing and heroic Wood.
We will endeavor to obtain a Hat of ber offi
cers, for public information, and, indeed, tor
the information, in ??roe cases, it may be, of
tbdir own friends and relatives.
We knew of the fitting out and sailing of
this vessel, but. in accordance with our usual
course, kept perfect silence upon the subject.
Now that she has spoken for herself, no furth
er necessity for concealment exists. Of her
force 0;' armament, of course We wiil say noth
ing. Let that be found out by the enemy the
best way they can. Xhjey-wifl find her pow
erful enough to do them harm.-Wilmington

Mr?. HENRIETTA ANN TOWNES, wife of |

j spent her married life, and bore she rest? in
death, awaiting, aa we belier*,* the* resurrection

Sunday afternoon after her death, from tb? text :
"Tholastenemy that,hall be dettr<yedis death,'
Consoling was the gospel truth, developed from
those blessed words by the able and pious minis
ter of God. The debased has left a bereaved and
devoted husband and five yomg. children, and
a brother and sister, as her nearest relatives,
who, with her frionds, will cherish ber memory
and her virtues. She was a. devoted wife and
mother and 'sincero and eonstant in her friend
'skip ; and when in health, joyms in her spirits,
which made her company entertaining and de-1
ligktful. Few ladies of our country were so in
tellectual, so gifted, so highly and thoroughly J
