1 Wje itiitjet. L A NCASTERVILLE, SC. 'Wednesday Morning. July 30. 1802 Our town uuil vicinity were visited with an exceedingly heavy storm of rain on Saturday evening last. Uains have been abundant recently and the corn crop promises well. Two more of our gallant wounded have died recently?Lieut. J. Kiauklin Perry and Mr. Ki vin Knight. A well niciitcd tribute to their memory is given in a communication iu this paper, to which we refer. I The Clinplain of the 1st Regiment, S. C. V., -Col. Ilagood, calls upon the citizenaof Harm w.-ll ? ' " , >-|im itmiHirg, aianon, i-ancaster and Greenville, to contribute hospital supplies?Jellies, Wines Ac.?lor the sick of that Regiment, in which they arc represented as being in much need. The Hospital for this .Regiment is located at Secessionvillc. Boxes should be addiersed to Martin Bellinger, Surgeon 1st Regiment S. C. V., (Jharla^ioii. Also address liiiu by letter when you send boxes. Worthy of Note and Imitation. We aj e informed, upon competent authority, that a planter of this Llistiict is selling Flour to the families of soldiers in the army, at the mod crutc rale of f t 60 per hundred pounds (nine dollars per bariel) and will take no more than .this from uny one, but gives preference to the families of volunteers. This is the pi ice that he has set upon his crop of Flour. This gentleman we know to be as intelligent, and as piudelil ill his business relations, as lie is just and benevolent, lie has no doubt demonstiated, bv systematic calculation, that the plan c. van ujjvni 10 sen * lour at the price at which he is selling ; and yet we hear of others, not n hundred miles lioin hiin, who talk about thieo dollar* per bushel for w heat and eight dolais per hiindied (or Flour. 11 the producer can realize a fair profit by selling flour ut |i,50 per bundled, and by reason of trie war he is enabled to sell it at ?8,00 per hundred, it will be vastly to Ins pccuniaiy advantage that the war continue; he can inuke money by reason of the dull ess and suffering and death and desolation aiound him. The iusUinco referred to above is a creditsfJe exception in this mammon-loving age, and benrc we note it. We wish that we felt at lib' ?riy to give to the public the name of thi* gen* ikniuti, that future generations might know who it was lliut 1 cfusetl, in-this remaikahle crisis, to profit by the iiccessitics of his fellowcit zens or the aillict'ons ol his country, lie is practically carrying out the commendable the ory enunciated iu (ho article published in our paper a few weeks ago, signed "l'roduccr." The First Corps of Reserves It will'be seen by otder* published in this piper from the Colonel of the 2 let Regiment, S. C. M. that all persons within the bounds ol aiid Regiment, between the ages of 35 and 60 years, are required to a?seinblc here on Saturday next (2?l proximo) to be enrolled and foimci! into companies for active service. The older lor the enrollment of this class of pei^ons cnitnates, ns most ol our readers arc aware, Ironi our Slate authorities. Soon after the puvsagc of the Coiisciiption law of Congress, taking into Confederate Service all persons between the aces of 18 and 85 v.?? ? >> Stale authorities conceived the pur| ose of aepstaling the remainder ol the effective men (those between 35 and bU years) from the Militia, oigamziiig them into Companies, Keginienta, Ac , to be held in rcaerve for S'atc defence, or other service, at the discretion of the State. The organization in several of the Biig> ados in the Slate ha* already been completed ; the Older for the bih lliigade has recently been issued and is published in this paper. Many persons believe that it is the purpose of the Governor and Council to call the brat Coips of Reserve* into active service immediately. Such is not our conviction, though we speuk only ft out information that ia common to all. (t does not appear probuble that they will l?e culled out from the upper Districts before Fall or Winter ; and whether they will be called then will depend upon the exigences which the future may develop. The signs of the limes admonish us that every able bodied man in the Confederate Stales will "h* r-imi.?t to take the field before ibis war ia ei.ded. Already it ia being urged upon the Government to increase the number of conscripts, by placing in the field all persona between the agea of 3k and 45 years, to rebut the recent call of the Northern Government for 300,000 additional troopa. Should our Government do thia, and it ia not unlikely that it will, the First Corps of deserves will be piaclically abrogated. In the organization of thia corps, company ' officers will bo elected. Regimental and Brigade officers will he appointed by the Governor and Council. Officers of the Militia are not liable to duty in the First Corps of Reserves ; they eru continued in commission and will co'iunntid the "Jd Coipsof Reserves, to couaist of persons between 16 ami 18 years, between 60 and 65 years, and the ezempta. Whenever the First and .Second corps aie brought into service together, the First Corps will be regarded as Regulars and the Second as Militia.?
