March 12, 1882 Military OrdersSeveral Military Orders, changing the time ?ol Beat Company drills, exempting eertain .persona from extraordinary and ordinary militia duty, kc , kc , published in this paper, will be read with interest. Court Week. Next week will commence the regular Spring ' Term ol the Court of Sessions and Common ] Pleas for this District. The Court will con- ] vein- on Turiulay instead of Monday. Judge Withers, who will preside, has written to the Clerk to this effect, and requests that notice | he given, as far as possible, to Jurors. It is not probable that business on the civil | side of the Court will be attended to. The | Legislature, at the last Session, adopted the following resolution, which we presume will be jre%nected by the Judges : Resfth fd. That no rune, now stitmlog on ' *l?? Docket* of the Courts of Common 1'lens, the Circuit Couris of Equity, or the j .Appeal Courts, or which may be placed ! there, during the year I8t>2,shall be pressed j or forced to tiiul, unless with the consent, in writing, ot the Defendant or Defendants, or his or llicir Attorney. Right. The Governor and Council are adopting strenuous measuies to stop the making ol j spiiituous liquors and the selling or delivery of | the same to thesoldieis. liy resolutions adop- ! ted recently,and published in this paper, it will i be seen that the selling or delivering of spirituous j liquors to troops in service is now prohibited. I onrui Carolina, Viiginia, Georgia and other States arc taking slops in the same direction. Public sentiment tin oughout the Confederacy is becoming alive to (lie demoralizing and ruin' ous effects which liquor is producing upon our armies?both officers and men. Many of the disa-lc's which wo have sustained, many of the deaths which have occurred, and much of the sickness which has prevailed, may doubtless he altiibuted to this cause. It is time that the authoiilics were moving in thia matter. The j people will sustain them in all such steps as these, and doubtless the mass of the army will rejoice u> the icmoval of this debasing temp> Cation. A Commander in-Chief of the Confed1 erate Army. It will be seen by the news from Richmond, published elsewhere, that Cotigiesa has passed a bill to constitute a Commanding-General of the armies of the Confederate States, during the piescnt war, it is understood that Piealdent Davis will approve the hill. The bill provides that the said commanding genrial shall be appointed by the I*resident, with the advice and consent oi the Senate, and the said general shall have all the control of all .military operations, and the diati ibutiou of suppli<a among the aruiies of the Confederate Stales, and when necessary, to lake command in person of the auuics in the field. Ilia pay is ?<!U0 per month. Jt is gero-twlly supposed that Gen. I.ee will be ap|K)inted to this distinguished post. Five more Regimenu Wanted for the War It will he seen by a Proclamation from Gov. Pickens, together with resolutions by the Governor and Council, published on another column, that a requisition lias been wade by President Duvis upon this State for fire more Regiments of troops for the war. The Governor, in answer to this requisition, calls for men to come forward and volunteer, individually and st pa> ately, or by Companies now formed of not less than sixty-eight aggregate. Per sons volunteering as individuals will be formed into Companies, and their officer# appointed nv tne (fovcmor and Council. It will l>e seen that the call i* addressed, aa | well to Companies now in the field for a less j term than for the war, ax to all other arms- j bearing persona in the State, not now in service. This call for volunteers will be open until the 20lh ins*. II, at the expiration of this time, stbe requisition is not filled by volunteering, all arrns<bcaring cituens in the State, between the ages of 18 and 16 years, will be enrolled, as well those now in service for a less period than for the war, as those not in service ; f.oin which roll,a draft will be executed to meet the balance of the requisition. Each soldier, on being mustered into service, will receive a bounty of $60,00, besides expense* of transportation from home to th? place of rendexvous. This bounty, we have seen it somewhere announced, is extended only to volunteers. Drafted men receive no bounty The Governor, however, does not state the distinction in his Proclamation. I'ntil this requisition is filled, no person subject to military duty in this Btate, will be permitted to join any Company, now in service foe * less term than for the war. What proportion of this requisition will fall upon Lancaster District, is, of course, not sccurately known ; but it is supposed that her riuota will be about on? full Bk* k? ?] up to this time met every requisition upon bur, without compulsion or draft, and we believe ihtt this cull will be met in tha same spirit and promptitude. 5atlve Salt Dr. J.

BY TELEGRAPH Congressional Richmond, Mnrch 4 ?It in understood Hint tne House of Representatives, to-day. 1 passed the bill authorizing the creation of the oilice of Commanding General of the ' Army nnd Navy. The Military Committee | of the House ban reported a bill author! | zing the Commanding General* to destroy 1 cotton, tobacco, and other produce and property liable to fall into iho hands of the | Federal forces. Compensation to the own- ! ers is to be provided by subsequent legisla- j tion. The bill will undoubtedly become a law nt an early day. Richmond, March 5. ? Both branches of Congress were to-day occupied ill discuss- j irio the hill authorizing the Commanding j Generals lo destroy cotton, tobnceo, etc., liable to full into the hands of the enemy. I The Mouse of Representatives adjourned after having refused to pass the clause pro i viding for compensation to the owners of the produce destroyed. The opinion is gaining strength here that there will he no i chnDge in the Cabinet. Richmond. March 7th.? A bill was intro | duced in the House to day to purge the j military service of all ignorant and inefficient officers Mf. Foote presented a hill nuthorizing the Secretary of the Trensiiiv to purchase ! as far as practicable, nil cotton and tobacco, | paying one-fourth of its value in Confede rate note, nod tho balance in twenty yenrs ; bonds, bearing an interest of eight per cent | It also provides that sli cotton and tobnceo heretofore burnt shall be paid in bonds oi ' eight per cent. Another bill was introduced authorizing ! I an export duty of several cents pec pound , on all cotton grown the present year, and i simphrr duties, of blank cents, on Tobacco, but the duties to cease at '.he raising of the blockade. Also a bill of nil Cotton nnd Tobnceo. I unless in exchange for wnr munitions, ironclad steamers, nnd other articles essential in war, providing that it shall not include Cotton and Tobacco previously purchased bv foreign Slates, now their actual owner. Sennle unimportant, except the conlirma lion 01 i/. rs. ? inder, ol .Maryland on Urij;. adier Genernl Congress him passed a bill regulating the destruction of properly under military necessity. Th? first section authorizes military Authorities to destroy nil cotton nnd tobacco military or naval stores, or other property, which may aid the enemy. The second section provides that property de~ stroyed by owners or military, if testimony of such destruction bo made conformably to Inw, shall bo paid for out of the proceeds of property confiscated, or acquest rated, in s manner hereafter to be provi.ied for. A project is on foot, and is favorably con sidered in prominent quarters, for the Gov eminent to take all cotton that may be sub scribed to the Produce l.onn, at nine cents per pound, nnd us much more as may be subscr'bcd on the same terms for Govern inent Bonds, nnd send an agent immediately to Kurope to negotiate for its sale on the nuked basis of a treaty with Napoleon It is believed that if a million of bu'cs of cotton c.sn be offered to the French com* 1 inerciul interest, at a fair price, to be deliv- I ered in this country, France will open the ' present inefficient blockade and take pos- I session of the property. It is further proposed that our Minister i to France shall be instructed to propose a treaty to the Kmperor (on the condition of bis opening the blockade), to grant, for a limited time, favorable discriminations in commercial relations as against Knglund and other nations, which are indifferent about making treaties with us. From the West. Memphis, March 3. ? I-ats advices from Nashville represent that there are only three Union flags flying there. The invaders are aid to be surprised and chagrined on account of the want of sunpnthy towards the Yankee cause exhibited by the people of the city. On Thursday night. Captain Morgan, the dnshing partizsr, with his Kan. lucky cavalry, captured ninety oT the rn# mv, while engaged in outpost duty. The Federal pickets, which have now been thrown out as fur down as Franklin, twen. ty miles South of Nashville, are either killed or :aptur*d every night.

I .ate advices from Clarka ville stale that a week will probably elapse before a battle takes place at Boston Mountain. The latest accounts from New Mad rid represent that the Nortiiern army, 'JO, 000 atrong, is within two day's inarch of that place.

The enemy's lines extend around the town of New Madrid, nl the distance of upwards of a mi'e ft'-mour entrenchments. Up t<> 4 o'clock, on Monday afternoon, the enemy had made no response, although the lire from our gunboats still eontinued. It is supposed that the onemy made their attnek this (Tuesday) morning. An attack from the enemy's gunboats is momentarily expected at Island No. 10< which is strongly fortified. The final evacnit?>n of Columbus occurred on Sunday uvening, the provisions, ammunition and nearly all the gnus being saved. All the buildings occupied by our troops, and ninny others belonging to private residents, were burned. Our river defence* are progressing rapidly. riUl E Wilts ANOTHER VICTOItT.

The \trrrimac steamed up yestecd.iv and passed the I wo blockading vessels, blockading Jauies Kiver. She received both their hroiid-ides uninjured.
