Lincoln nroclivitios nnil (nmnnfinir \t-itIt ol.iv?a ' Notice was also given him to leave tho District. ; nnd wo understand that ho has wisely complied i with the demand. Forbearance, in such cases, has coascd to be a virtue. Those who are not for us, in this struggle, aro against us; ami they should be made to feel tho consequences of thoir bareness and guilt. Let tho remedy bo applied, properly and mercifully I Presbylery Convened, by oppointmont, at Bachelor's Retreat, in this District, on Thursday of last week. Rev. I). McNeil Turnkr was elected Modemtor, and Dr. McBkvdb, Clerk. We learn that the attendance was largo, and the meeting harmonious. lVeshytory adjourned on Sunday. Home Duty. Fur want of Hpace, wo failed to call attention last week to the laudable work of providing for tho needy families of those volunteers who have so promptly entered tho service of tho State, to battle for tho liberties of the South.? Indeed, we have our doubts whether such a course bo nccessary. Before anything wo could write could have appeared in print, they were anticipated from several quarters. Mossrs. IIago )D and Mr. IIoi.dkr generously annoui 'ed their determination to pro*ide for the desolate of one company ; and, from our knowledge of tho people of that section, thero are a number | ui timers who win enntnuuto most liberally to the same desirable object. Wo hnvo no plan of our own to further the good cause. We had supposed that each noighborh >od or boat company would be hotter able to dispense charity or do favors than thoso at n distanco. Neighbors will not see the families of their kindred and friends sufFijr. But, whilst this is happily the caso, there arc many persons in the District who can afford, and, wo doubt not will bo gratified, at an opportunity to contribute somothing to the relief of the families of our absent soldiers. Whether this desirable object can be best at- | tained by a District meeting, on Saleday, or neighborhood effort, we are not now prepared to say. Wo trust, however, that those who have matured a practical scheme may put it in motion at as earlier a day aS possible. Somo tiling should be di.no ! Plant Provisions. V?e heartily second the suggestion of the Carolinian, that, our farmers should plant a large crop of provisions this year. We are, perhaps, on the vory verge of a protracted war; your brave army must be fed, and must depend upon you in the main. Tlien plant double your usual amount of corn and cereals; raise all the pork and beef you possibly c*i,; don't kill the pigs and calves, Hy pursuing the course indicated, you will evince your wisdom and patriotism. Let cotton slide for this once. The Keowee Volunteers ll ?ld a meeting to-day to determine whether they will go to Virginia or to Chnrleston. If the State was in danger, wo should ?ny go to Charleston. Hut wo <to not think there will up collisions on the scacoast this summer. The climato is unhealthy for Yankees! There is need of help, in Virginia, however, and those who want to engage in the tight should go thero. TI1080 porsons in the District, who dooirc to " call " on Old Abe, at the White House, should report theinsolvos horo on or before next Saloday. Young, athletic men, wro particularly desired.

Iu both States, much more land than usual has been planted in corn, and the late . rains have insured a good stand. The Louisiana papers report that the crops of corn and cane were never finer, and the I promised yield is cheering. o Bombardment of Fort Sumter. We are indebted to a friend l'ora pamphlet copy n of a detailed account of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, made up principally from tlie Charleston Courier. Speaking of " Legislators and Soldiers," f"1 tho account suys : ^ " During 'lie conflict, so gloriously triumphant, members of the Convention, members of the Legis- g hiture, rendered zealous and valuable services ut. the different posts and batteries.
