Mr. lleury Gooch will leave this District for Virginia on Monday next. lie requests us to nay, that he will convey packages, which the friends of either of the companies front Lancaster, now in Virginia, may desire to send to them. The packages should be deposited at bis rcaidenco as early as Friday or Sa turday of theprosent week. Important Sam:.?The attention of our reau tiers are directed to n notice of the sale of famPily supplies from the Store ol the late Win, F. I Perry, in Camden, on the 24th inst. ' ft will be remembered that the several Com. \ mittoos appointed ut the late District meeting to procure funds for certain purposes, were requested to meet at this place and report to the Central Committee on Saturday next. A full attendance is desired. Capt. John D. Wvlik, who reached home on Wednesday last, has our thanks lor Virginia papers in advance of the mails. Capt. Wyi lie returns for a short time on account of iudis. position, and for the purpose of procuring material for a new uniform for hisCompnny. We i arc sorry to learn from him that the health of bff company is not good ; the cases being gen> i crnllv. however, of a inild cliinrOr Hut Ann loath ha* occurred in his Company : Mr. Jesse Young,"of Kershaw District. Capt. W. expects to return in a few days. VT c regret to learn that Capt. John Q. McManus' Company, which recently went into .camp at Lightwood Knot Spring, has been disc banded, for caoaes referred to by us in an cdiI -tonal published in taut issue. We find in the Sumter Watchman a notice of the death of Simon L. Kraser, a native of, and until recently a citizen of this District.? Mr. F. was a tnc>oibcr of the "Suaiter Greys," and died at his post in Virginia.

Four more will leave on Friday, and the balance on Saturday. This regiment is the beat uniformed and armed of any in the State. We learn -that Col. Dun. ovant's Hegiment will also leave tor Summerville next week, preparatory for service on the coast. To the LadiesThe material for the uniform ai the "Lancaster Home's" will be at this place and ready for mnkiug up by the latter part of nest week. From the disposition which the ladiee are conf ti.nially manifesting to work for the Volunteer*, it is confidently believed that it is only ncccs, Kiiy to announce that their help is needed, to ^obtain it. All who are willing to assist iu making up uniforms arc requested to report to Mr. A. Mayer, who will have the material. It is desii uble that the worlc bo doue as speed i> ly as possible, as it has been announced that Col. Dunovaut's Hegiment, to which this comi pai^is attached, will in a short time be order,ed on active service. The Tableaux The Tableaux propiiscd by some of the ladies and gentlemen of our town, cauie off, according to previous notice, on Friday evening last. besides the pantomime exhibitions, there was a capital dialogue enacted by the ladle*, and a variety of ethiopian performances by the gentlemen ; making, altogether, a very interesting and amusing cntcrUlnmeni. There was about two hundred persons in attendance. The proceeds ot tho entertainment are to be appropriated to tho benefit of the "Lancaster Greys." We learn that auother is to come off soon for the benefit of the "Lancaster Invincible*."

There are supposed 10 l>e about three thousand Yankee troop* at Cape llalteraa and llio vicinity. They are busy mounting heavy siege guns and otherwise per* feeling the defences of the position. It is thought here that they cannot, lor the present, be dislodged. The enemies official reports of tho engage* mcnt state that the forts surrendered, and stipulation was made that tho officers and men shall receive the treatment due prisoners of war. The official communication to the Secretary of the Navy aaya that Dutler captured two forts, twentyfive cannon, one thousand stand of arms, and seven hundred and Mteeu prisoners ; also three prises, two of which were loaded with cotton and coffee. The prisoners were con reyed to New York, and thirteen wounded io Annapolis. i an The hoqoeatmtion Aei. The Confederate Congress has passed an Act sequestrating all Yankee property in U>? South, with (ha exception of Confederate State stocks and bonds. According to the provisions of /.his hot, the ?onf?deigte Stats* Government ! ,ukea unJer iU control all th# Yankee property and effects pi,the Stale of the Confederacy. The bill only differ* from a confiscation hill in tha particular of holding this property for particular ends, subject to claims lor indemnity and to-tho future disposition of the (lorei i?aett. Ample provWoo is made In tha Rill for discovering the property .owned by Yankees in the Confederate States, inclusive of debts or claims of whatever kind, with the single exception above named, due by citizens of the Confederate States to citizens of tho United States. The South Carolinian says : There oaa-be no exaggeration of the extent and importance of this law.

' Important Correspondence. t Wc find in our Charleston exchanges a letter ti of inquiry From Got, Pickens to Attorney o j General Havoc, touching the qualifications of | ? I ol members of our Stato Legislature who may p ; have accepted commissions in the Army of the , I Confederate States, and tlio reply of the Attor- I _ : c ^ ncy General thereto. Tlie Attorney General | ^ gives it as his opiuiou tlint all military officers, whether commissioned by Gov. Pickens or the j 8 President of the Confederate States, are, by the ; ' tl terms of Section 29, Article 1, of the present Constitution, (Section 21 of the Constitution of 1790) while they receive nay for their services, H disqualified from holding seats iu the Legists1 ture. ? lie adds that so far as constitutional disquali. o ! fication is concerned, it applies to all paid offi- " tl ' cers whatsoever ; but the Convention of the j n People thought proper to exempt from the I p constitutional disqualify ation tlie officers of n the "forces, regular and volunteer, raised under | c order of the Convention" itself. These cm* ?( brace the Volunteer forces known im ' ?I f i Regiment," which has been disbanded, and the , . ' Regiment of 'Regulars, now on service in this ' Stale. According to the opinion of the Attorney ' General, it would seem that the office of State * j Smalor from this Bistiict, one Representative j I in the Legislature, aud the offices >>f Coinmis- n rtioner in Equity aud Sheriff, are all vacated. ^ I (<< The New York Trihune, of the 28th ult., h says: 'That advices from our Minister in *' London indicate a certain if not speedy recog. ?< nition o( the Confederate States, as an iudepen- p dent power by the British Government. Rut t, there is in this nothing to surprise or discour? a p The tendencies of the Hritish Government | have not been a secret. The success or failure . of the Jeff. Davis rebellion depends on its ^ power at home, not on the favor with which it O may be regarded abroad. "A recognition by Great Britain would doubtless give it a certain degree of moral c support, but would neither feed nor clothe its 14 armies. Wait a little, and we may have news H to send abroad tbul wdl neutralize the inHuen- 11 ces of that on which the British Ministry is now disposed to act. Wo expect no favor from V Europe, and have sought none." ti [rod rpz mxt'asykr lkdokr.] t< Mr. 1'UMTok ?Jn n late issue of the Led CER there was an appeal to the Ladies in r< behalf of the '''Lancaster Inviucibles," in r' which their cluims upon our benevoieuce 0 were vet forth. No doubt tuacy a heart re- '* sponded to that call, aod only wit lied for w an oppoitunity to ahow lludr appreciation u of and aynipathy for, that noblo baud of 11 iuen, in whose praise enough cannot be -.aid, ' and for wltose comfort too much cannot bo dona. l' Believing that there are many persons in (t the Village sod country, who are not iuaen- 11 aible to the claims and merits of the "In- 81 vincibles," and who are deiirousof con- '' tributiog something for the comfort of those vx who have sacrificed so much for lis. I have *' assumed the responsibility of soliciting aid, Vl and receiving contril>utions for their benefit, ,l pledging myself that as soon as a sufficient B' amount is received and prepared, to have ai the articles immediately forwarded to the Company, and their receipt of the same ac- ?" knowledged through the l.EDi.En. OI Those w ho are desirous of assisting in this matter will please send in their eontributinns as aoon us possible, us it is very do- ^ sirnble that those tor whom they are designed should .ecsive them before cold w weather. It is well known that the grsnter portion of ('apt. McManus' meii have been sick and will be greatly in need of ^ warui clothing to protect tliein from the ^ cold of the fast approaching winter. The articles most needed are, flannel shirts, drawers, woollen socks and blankets. , cl I have altesdy received from Mr John Iloss, of Pleasant Valley, 14 heavy blankets and ^ 40 pair of woolen socks, for the benefit of ID the "Invinciblea." A few more such liberal dona (iocs sad our brave men will be pre- ^ pared for cold snows and chilling blasts. ^ some ot the ladies in the Village have 1 ^ promised to assist in making up the cloth, ing. All contributions will please b? sent to the residence of Mr I*. T. Hammond. I ,j, will give my receipt to the donor for every ! ^ article sent. Every donation, however small, will be most thankfully received. tiurely it is unnecessary to urge upon j. any one the necessity and importance of ^ this matter. Hitherto the claims of ths "Invincible*" have been entirely overlooked ( in this District, but we hope it may no Ion* ( ger be ssid that Lancaster has been neg i- ,j. gent of ner noble sons.
