'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.

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.?
For further particulais wa refer to the several
,Orders published in this paper.
