Crittenden. Wc notice in our exchanges (*ays the South j Carolinian) some scrims charges f.gninst Gen. j Crittenden, of treasonable correspondence with ithe enemy. We await the examination of his ] case before a court martial, before condemning . him, hoping and believing that the facts charged arc not tme. Important Military Change. The Richmond Di*patch savs it has reliable authority for making the following statement : ] t?en. Beauregard, the distinguished officer of , the Army of the Potomac, takes command of , the Army at Columbus, Ky., and Gen. Gusta- | vus W. Sn.ith succeeds biro in the position he has so long and acceptably occupied. At Co? i lumbus, we understand, he is subordinate to no S one rrcrpt (ten. A. Sidney Johnston. This I change goes into effect without delay. Subsequent accounts confirm the above.? iGen. Beauregard lias left Virginia, and proba> bly ere this is at bis new Post in Kentucky. ??^ Rumored Fight in Kentucky. The rumor of a desperate fight in Kentucky, in which the Confederates were said to be vic> torious, is probably without foundation. The j ^ Charleston 1/rrrtiry, of Saturday, says : The Streets, yesterday afternoon, were high. | ly excited and elated by a telcc aphic statement Of a false Northern rumor ihnt llie'Soutlu enters bad achieved a victory at Bowling 1 Green. That place is in direct telegraphic conn 1 muiiication with Clmilcstou, and not with any I Northern city, and, therefore, it is rather impiobable that we should receive the first news j of a battle there through Noitliern sources. I "Catawba Rangers." Maj. James P. Adams Battalion of Cavalry, i in which is mciuucu me \ai.iwua wingers, Capt. J. I). Mcllwuin, moved from Camp Ilarem ton for a position nearer the scene of strife, on Faiutduy 23d ult. Beecnt arrivals from the camp report the command generally in good health and spiiits. A (tiend has furnished us with a statement ' of the appiaisement of the horses ot this fine I Company, on its heing mustered into Confedc- j rate service : The whole number, S3 horses, were valued at $18,710, being an average of $226 each. There is peihapa no belter moutiI ted and no more efficient Company in the service than the Catawba Hangers. The Privates, ! in this branch ol the service, receive |24 per month, each, for himself and horse. I.ieut. S. It. Masscy, lias heen complimented by the appointment of iiattalion Quartermaster, being the third officer in point of rank in the I Iiattalion. Tbc "CaUwba Hangers" is the first Company of the Second Iiattalion of South Carolina Cavaliy. Death of Paul F. Villipigue. The Camden Confederal* repoits the death * of Paul F. Villipigue, so well known to tho people of our Iiistiicl as a Cotton-buyer in that market. Our first lecollections of Catnden are associated with Mr. Villipigue: lie was pe# culiarin his manners, often exceedingly abrupt in his intercourse with customers, but it has been said by those who knew him beet, that this roughness of exterior covered a very warm and generous heart. He was very pleasant and obliging in his demeanor towards those , whom he liked, and just the opposite towards persons who were so unfortunate as to iucur hie dislike. There was one quality, however, which both his Iricnd8 and his enemies united in according hiin ; vix : an unsullied honesty. No man, perhaps, who dealt with him to any ex tout, ever hesitated to trust him implicitly. We remember, when a boy, to have heard a gen, tleman fiotn this District (now deceased) say that it was his custom, whenever it was iiicom Tenient for him to go down with bis cotton himself, to send it to ll r. Villipigue, with dii rections to take it at whatever it was worth and send iiim the proceeds; and that in such casas he was always pleased with the returns, both as to pi ices and weights?that lie believed he did better than when he superintended the selling himself. According to the C'onfttleraU, Mr. Villipigua had been doing business in Camden for forty (years, and died in the silly sixth year of his sge. As s cotton Merchant, he will be greatly missed by the surrounding country. Ha was always "in maiket" and his customers could on sll occasions rely upon getting fiom hin< s (air marketable hid for their produce. Pikes Our correspondent "Camiilui" in an aarly number ol aseiiesof able articles now being published, (which articles our readers have no doubt relished with a great deal o( interest) suggested the idea of arming some of our sol hers with Tikes, in view of the great scarcity i"*>1 fire arms. Since thin we observe that the Htate of Alabama is arming a portion of her r troops witli this weapon. The Mobile corres^ poudeut of the Memphis Aypral, thus describes ? it : "The Alabama pike consists of a keen two' edged steel head, like a large bowie knile blade, 1 near a foot and a half long, with a sickle-like hook, eery sharp, bonding back from near the socket. This is intended for cutting Uio bridles of cavalrymen, or pulling them off their horasa, or catching hold of the enemy when they are running away. Tins head ia mounted on a shalt of tough wood about eight feet long. A gieauiing row of these fearful i in piemen ta of slaughter, gleaming down upon them at tho p4is Jr chargt, would atrike the terror of ten thousand deaths to the apprehansiru souls of Butler's Yankees.'' A Nashville paper says that there is a tuove. ment on foot in Tennessee to organise a regiment ol pikemen, and that a aubacriptioo ia being raised to purchase the pikes. An Irish correspondent of that journal sa/S he has ah ways believed that a division of drilled pik? men would be one of the most effective legions that could fm added to a well organised army. The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was fought by leI gionaof pikemen against the flower of the Knglish army. Thirty thousand of the latter bit the dust in that war. t ' 1 Cotton Supply in Europe. The supply of American cotton in Liverpool nt the beginning of the present year, though raucn larger than many persona supposed it would be, is small compared with the supply on hand at the same petiod last year, and will not be sufficient to keep thu Knglisli Mills moving inany weeks longer at the present ratea of con< sumption. The question so important to us, whether Europe can do without American cot* ton, or rather, whether "Cotton is King," must be solved within the neat few months. The stock of American cotton in Liverpool! on the 27th Deceinlier, 1801. according to a Circular by the Liverpool Brokers" Association Price Current, was 210,250 bales, against 4i)3,* 434 bales at the same time last year. The weeklv consiiiniitinn b ?( 90 firm ? At this rate of consumption, the supply cannot last longer than the first of March ; and when we take into consideration the fact that a com aiderahle portion of the supply on hand on the 27th December, has been bought up by Ameticans and shipped to the United States, it will probably not last so long. The supplies from other sources arc of course uninterrupted, though compared with the usual supplies from America, they are but a d*op in the bucket, and they cannot bo increased for at least a year yet to come. The stock of East India cotton in I/iferpooi on the 27lh of December, was 205,190, and the supply from all other ccuutries 47,000 bales. It is said, however, that the weight of these boles is far less than the weight of the American, and that to manufacture it successfully requires an admixture of American. The French Mills nianueacture scarcely anything else than the finer qualities of the American Cotton. To say nothing, however, of France and other conn' tries, the question of supply with respect to England is beginning to assume a highly inter1 eating aspect. In 1860, the average consumption of the English Mills, was over forty thousand bales per week, and we presume that this is still about what she requires to keep all her mills in regular operation. To say that she can get one-fourth ol this number (ten thousand bales per week) from cou,.tries other than the Confederate States, would lie nsautniui? more than the circumstances would perhaps justify. Hut allowing thut alter the American supply is exhausted, she will get to,000 hales per week from other countries, can she manage to get along and pieservo her equanimity with this meagre supply ? This is the question upon which hangs the destiny of King Cotton, ami with it is involved the question of a long 01 short war with the United States. Three months will suffice to throw all the light we re quire upon this exceedingly interesting question of cotton supply and demand?a matter of sc much moment to us and which the whole woil<j is watching with an interest notmuch less than that felt by the people of the Confederate States. Moxk Hloooy Battlxh Kxpkctkd.?The New York Herald says : "We are entering upon the most exciting period of the war. The real work is only commencing.

We have stirring tidings from Savannah. The enemy are energetically pushing their way towards the citv. tVe give the accounts which wo find in the Savannah pa- tt pern. The Republican says : Vi We had quite an excitement in the city c< yesterday, caused by a report that six ves- H sets of the enemy hnd entered the river al back of Little Ty bee, and had passed up (> to the north portion of Wilmington Island. v to n position where they could rendily shell ^ vessels passing up and down the river.? This report was brought by the Ida, on her o return trip from the Fort, and she bore the i P j marks of its truth about her. Several shots | j were lired at her. on her passage up, and a j I j shell exploded within some twenty feet of j f . her, Injuring no one, but breaking a portion j " ! of the glass about tho boat by the concus. | a 81 (Hi. Should lliey be allowed to remain ' < where thejf are, the navigation of the river ! a may be considered as closed to unarmed j r vessels. I We saw two gentlemen last evening, who c were hunting in a boat at the north end of c Wilmington when tne Yankees made their ' ) appearance. They shelled the island in * j every direction, and indicated by their move- " merits that they intended to etToct n landing at Screven's plantation. Two of the steam h j era being close together, were engaged with a a derrick in drawing the piles with which ? the channel had been obstructed. The channel leading to the city around j the north end of Wilmington was heavily i piled some months ago, and it will be im- ^ I possible for the Yankee boats to pass until * the obstructions shall have been removed, ' which will prove no easy task. n Should the enemy succeed in maintain ^ ing his present position, communication ? with Fort I'ulunki will be cut off, for the i reason before slated, though we have the means of making their berth anything but " a comfortable one The fort Is well sup- 11 plied with provisions and water, perhaps n enough for nix months, nod has little to ^ fear from an attack. " ' It is hut proper that we should exhort our people to be calm and resolute under v ' the circumstances that now surround them.
