Many of the most celebrated battles of the world's history have i been fought during its long days and hot periods. Bunker Hill, the first pitched battle of the American Revolution, was fought on the 17th of June, 1775. Water- , loo, the great engagement which terminated the wars of Napoleon, was fought on the ISthof June, 1815. Napoleon gained two V.;? ?nd famnnq victories on , U* UC^/IOITV uuu IUMVM" j the 14th of June, viz: that of Marengo, over the Austrians, in 1800, and the Fried- ; land over the Russians, in 1807. The great battle of Solferino, which finally , crashed the power of Austria in Italy, was j fought by Louis Napoleon and Francis Jo-j seph ou the 24th of June, 1859. One ofj the most bloody and desperate attacks made upon Sebastopol was made by the English and French on the Malakoff, on the 18th , of June, 1S55, in which they were defeated with severe loss. The battle of Monmouth, of the American Revolution, distinguished by the bad conduct of General Lee, who had command of a portion of our forces on that occasion, was fought on the intensely hot day of June IS, 1778. To these, which are but a few of June's san-l goinary mementoes, we add the chronicle of the bloody engagement at Bethel, Virginia, where more than one hundred Federal troops were killed and twice the number wounded. And this only the comencement.?Louisville Courier. The Episcopal Convention.?This religious body assembled in this place on Wednesday last, the 19th instsnt. The BishoD of the Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Thos. F. Davis, was present, and also a very fair J representation of the clergy and laity. On Tuesday evening, the annual meeting of the Advancement Society was held, and various resolutions adopted, urging the ne-j cessities of the Society, and its claims to} the cordial co-operation of the various con-j gregations of the State. The annual sermon before the Conven- j tion was preached on Wednesday, by the j Rev. Wm. Dehon, of St. Phillip's Church, Charleston, and the morning service was read by the Rev. Messrs. Glennie and Shand. After a short recess, the Convention was organized ; various matters of business were i transacted, and the Bishop's address wasj read by the Rev. C. P. Gadsden. The ad-! dress, among other suggestions, recommen-l ded the appointment of delegates to a Con-J vention of the Southern Dioceses. Thej present state of the country, and the rela-! tions of the churces South and North, were: referred to appropriate Committees. The sermon before the Advancement! Society was preached to a large congrega- j tion, on Wednesday night, by the Rev. j Edward Reed.?Abbeville Banner. Cost of the War.?According to thej verbal statement of Gen. Scott last week, there are now uuder arms and in the pay' of the Government of the United States' 220,000 men. To maintain this army af-j ter its equipment, will require SI,000,000! annually to each regiment, or ?220,000,000 j a year. The Navy will require, in addi- I tion, at least half that sum, so that, with the ordinary expenses of the Government,! we may safely put down our national expenses at this time at the rate of ?365,000.000 a year, or ?1,000,000 a day.?Mew 1'. Times Three hundred and sixty-five million dollars a year ! One million dollars a day! Forty-one thousand six hundred and sixtysix dollars every hour! If the war shall continue two years, the Administration will have made a public debt of 8780,000,000! In seven years, if the Northern people should not become satisfied of the impossibility of conquering the South for so leng a timv, that debt will reach the enormous sum of 82,555,000,000! There are yet twenty-four States, with about 822,000,000 inhabitants, in the Union. If none of these States should withdraw from the Union, it would take a direct tax of sixteen dollars and fifty cents on each man, woman and child in them to pay the war debt for a single year. Kentucky and Ohio.?The sight of a company of hardy Kentuckisns on the capital square, last Wednesday evening, has elicited from the Richmond Enquirer an incident of the war of 1812, illustrative of the Indian estimate of the comparative efficiency of Kentucky and Ohio troops on the field of battle. A British officer in the northwestern campaigns related that their Indian allies had a great horror of Ken tuck'ans, while they looked upon Ohioans as not very formidable. It was a common saying among them, "One Indian, one Kentuck?one Indian two Ohiomeaning that in their view it took two Ohio men to make one Iventuckiuu or one Indian.? ?:On a certain occasion," said the British officer, "we determined to attack a party of Americans not far from us, in an open field, and cftlled upon the Indians to-operate with us. They hesitated at first, but consented ou being to'd that they had to fight Ohio troops. In a few minutes the fire was opened upon us, rather unexpectedly to our uffi ccrs, upou which the Indians all took to _ their heels, exclaiming in brokeu English in their flight, 'Kentuck ! Kentuck ! Ken( tuck!"' This incident may be relied upon as historical. Let old Kentucky once more take the field ! Let that shout be heard across the river, "Kentuck ! Kentuck ! Kentuck !" and it will do far more than her neutral position to crown herself with glory and bring about peace.?Richmond Dispatch The Revolution in Missouri. We conversed with a gentleman yesterday, late from Missouri. He gives a raosl deplorable account of the condition of things in that State. He says that those in St Louis suspected of Southern sympathies are treated in the most offensive and insulting manner, and that they dare not resent any indignity, at the peril of their lives.? lie says that au order has been received ai ?St- Louis to procure, by purchase or sei zure, from twenty to thirty steamboats, foi the intended invasion of the Mississipp valley. Recently the Secretary of the Pi lots' Association of St. Louis was summon s*, :d to the Arsenal, where Lincoln's mercen-!< tries hold swaj. When there, they inquired if he could is procure from 20 to 30 good Union men asn pilots for the Government. He promised1! ;o bring the matter before tho Association, ] ind did so, when only a few accepted the i service. The large majority not only refused, but in order to avoid being impressed into service, have been quietly "seceding" from St. Louis for weeks past. Our informant says that Gov. Jackson's recent proclamation is a move which has been in contemplation for some weeks ; that they have been preparing for it at least three weeks, and that everywhere the peo pie are flocking to the aid of the Governor. In a Hhort time, Gov. Jackson will have a very considerable army, when the invaders will be driven from the soil. He says the Missourians in the interior are well armed with rifles, that they shut one eye when they shoot, and a shot is good for a man. The war in Missouri, he thinks, is destined to be one of extermination. He thinks the movement in Missouri is destined to have a most unfavorable effect upon the army at Cairo and Bird's Point for the invasion of j the Mississippi. It will take all their forces to "hold, occupy and possess," and subjugate the gallant people who are now rushing to arms for the expulsion of the Lincol ni tes. ?Memjthis Bulletin. Foreign News. We select the following items of foreign j news by the Jura : England.?The Arfrfatic took out news that the British government would not permit privateers or armed vessels to take prizes in British ports. Lord John Russell, in his letter to the Lordsof Admiralty, directing them to carry out this intention, says it is done to secure the strictest neu trality. Mr. Liddell gave notice that he would ask the Minister if the interdiction is not at variance with former practice, and the reason for a change of maritime policy. The London Times editorially replies to the outcry of the Northern States against England, and shows that it is wholly unfounded. Lord Stanley had given notice of his iu tention to ask what steps the government had taken to prevent the violation of neutrality in the case of regiments of volunteers from Canada, who offered their services to the United States. Lord John Russell said that he had no knowledge of the tender of a Canadian regiment to the United States. Nine cases of rifles, addressed to the Commercial Bank of New York, were refused by the agents of the steumer Adriatic at Gal way. >ia? The Privateer Savannah. A despatch from New York, dated June 15, says: The schooner Savannah, a privateer, in charge of Midshipman Cook, arrived this afternoon, with the Stars and Stripes, flying in triumph over the Secession flag.? She was captured by the brig Perry, about sixty miles off Charleston. She had taken the brig Joseph, of Rockland, and sent her into Georgetown, S. C. The Savannah is armed with an 18-pounder pirot gun amid ships, and was formerly a pilot boat. Her crew, consisting of 30 men were in irons on board the Minnesota. A Baltimore paper, alluding to the probable fate of the crew of the Savannah, says: The capture of the Savannah, and the placing of her crew in irons on board the Minnesota, is exciting considerable discussion. A good deal of debate has arisen in relation to the disposition to be made of these prisoners. The war press of New York claim that if they are to be considered privateers, they should have been hung at the yard arm, and they demand, at all hazards, the execution of the death penalty. The President, however, it is said, will treat them as prisoners of war. 86?* The Star Spangled Banner, as now ! constituted, is not the flag which floated overthe battle fields of the revolution ; nor jis it the same as the one which floated over j our victorious hosts in the war of 1812. I The present flag of the United States was 'adopted in 1818, from a design by Capt. ; Samuel C. Reid. There was nothiug in its i adoptiou to render it sacred in the eyes of ! any one, there has been nothing in its hisi tory since to make it so. This professed de' votion to the flag of the Union is pure bunkum. Scalpers Coming.?Five hundred ! Choctaw Indians, from Texas, will arrive | in Richmond in a few weeks, under com1 mand of Capt. Hainey, an old Texan Ranj ger, to join Wise's brigade. They come | with the understanding that they are to be I allowed to take scalps They will give no i quarter to the enemy and ask nono for j themselves. With true aboriginal inde; pendence, they want no favors shown them in war, and when they are whipped they are willing to die. The Cotton Subscription in Bibb, |Ga.?At a meeting of the plantorsof' Bibb j County, held in Macon, on the 12th inst., it was ascertained that 5,020 bales of cotI ton had been subscribed to the Confederate loan by the planters of the County. Among the subscribers was Major Leroy Napier, who subscribed and paid for 818,000 more ! of the Confederate bonds, which raises his [ personal subscription to 858,000, besides all ; his growing cotton crop, estimated at 500 i bales. ?> ?? The Dm/ Book has a number oi j anecdotes relative to the fight at Bethel Church. One of them is as follows : i "It is said by some that Gen. Butler wa> j riding about a mile from Hampton, wher : his troops came dashing down the road al 'full tilt. Recognizing a Captain amonr [ thetn, Butler accosted him and asked bin , what they were running so for. The cap 11 tain, panting for breath, told him "there i: I a whole lot of Southern ijcntUnwn ehasinj , ) Jt 1 . . Fort Sumter.?A new and elegan flag staff was placed in position at Fort Sum ' I ter on Saturday last, and a conspicuou Confederate flag hoisted thereon, whicl ' | adds much to the appearance of this power ful fortress as seen from the wharves. Then :: is now being placed into the fort a heav addition to its armament, and which make i : one of the most formidable military place in America. None of Old Abe's fleet wil [ venture to Dass the batteries of this fort.? i <( Lour ter. ii A Scriptural Coincidence.?Ou - readers are uware that Southern Illinois i . called "Egypt;" that therein, as in Egyp >f old, is the city of Cairo, and that Abe Lincoln's forces are there gathering for an lttack on the South generally, and Memphis in particular. In the ninth chapter ind sixth verse of Hosea. we read as follows: <?For, lo, they are gone because of destruction : Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them." 1 The Virginia Convention, &o. 1 Richmond, June 19.?An ordinance ( was offered yesterday, in the Virginia Con- 5 vention, repealing and annulling all Acts 1 formerly passed commendatory of Winfield 1 Scott, and ordering the name of Scott couu- ' ty to be changed to Davis, and Buchanan ^ County to Stephens. The Convention will probably take a recess, after Monday next, j to November. An ordinance was also 1 passed, authorizing County Courts to make provision for the support ot soldiers' rami lies. - ( Ricn.mond, June 19, G p. m.?The Vir- 1 ginia Convention adopted the Constitution i of the Confederate Government to-day, reserving the right to secede under certain contingencies. Sable Indignation.?A gentleman, who resides up town, informs us that, a few mornings ago, he happened to hear the following colloquy : A veteran vegetable vender, of the African race, who has traversed the streets of Charleston with his wagon daily for several years, selling his garden supplies, and whose monotonous cry of green peas, Irish potatos, "water milion.s," etc., ect., is well known, especially on the Neck, was hailed by an old ncgress, who inquired if he had any Northern cabbage. "Northern cabbage ?" replied the dealer, "Northern cabbage?" "Say, gal, who do you b'longs to? Tink dis ere chile is gwine to taminate his wagon with Northern cabbage?" And, without waiting to allow the woman to make some other purchases, he drove furiously off, in the most indignant manner. No Lack of Arms.?It appears, says the Norfolk Day Book, that our forces will soon be thoroughly armed, from accounts wo hear from the peninsula. "Our boys" there, are laying in a supply of Old Abe's very best, on the most accommodating terms ?in fact, on their own terms?without mouey and without price in mauy instances. One or two more battles similar to the Bethel Church affair will give the Confederate forces more arms than tbey want.? The news we hear from our guerillas in that | section is that they are bringing in from ! twenty to thirty good arms everyday. it Dangerous Position.?The Ellsworth Zouaves have to be punished to compel them to go on guard at Alexandria. Nine were killed on Friday night, and every night one or more finds himself a dead man. Each takes leave of "his friends when he mounts guard, and the first thiug he knows he is dead. They say we have Indians about, who shoot them with arrows. Let every one die a dog's death. Jacksou's brother and I friends have set a good example. Columbia Market.

Secessionists in Illinois. The Evansville (Intl.) Journal publishes u letter dated Marion Illinois | May 20, which says, I This is an awful place and full of Secessionists. Yesterday they closed up the printing office and made the editor leave simply because he was for the Union. We arc looking every day for a regiment of men from Cairo to put this thing down. The streets arc at this time full of men, generally drunk, and ''hallowing" for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Confederacy. A few days ago a company organized here and went South to fight for the rebels. A company of Secessionists is now in the square cutting the Douglas pole. This beats anything I ever expected to see jin a Northern State. We have the best reasons to know that so far from there being a "united North," there are thousands of good and true and brave men in Indiana and Illinois who believe the South is right and arc disposed to stand by her, and j they will soon make themselves both heard and felt.?Louisville Courier. j One of the Horrors of Battle.? !

LATEST NEWS. ^ EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Camp Walker, 5th Reg., S. C. Y. 1 i Near Manasas, Va, June 21, '61. J ' Dear Enquirer: We are at last "in he enemy's country," as the boys say ?that is, we are where scouting parties c md picquet guards of the two armies ;ome in almost daily contact. The ' strictest discipline and utmost precau:ion are, therefore, necessary, and even ] A-ith these, our advance guards occa- J sionally pick off a friend instead of a foe. ; Col. Gregg's regiment, now at Fairfax Court House, t i miles beyond this, } is the vanguard of the Southern Army. < Col. Kershaw's regiment is at Bull's run, 2 miles farther on; and Col. Ba- | if ftlflA olinO/] r\f UUII i) in aiou anvuu Vi uo aviuvn uviv^ m | short distance. We now occupy the < ground he did up to Wednesday morn- i ing, and enjoy the [umbrageous harbors ' which his men threw up for their protection against the sunbeams, which are very oppressive even in this high latitude, at noon-day. The general expectation seems to be that a regular battle will take place before long. Gen. Beauregard is said to be desirous of staving it off about two weeks. South Carolinians, who know this method of fighting from the battle of Fort Sumter, expect every preparation first, and then a straight forward fight. Col. Gregg and his spirited command, however, may precipitate matters. They are said to have almost pledged themselves to have a number of Yankees equal to their own, before their time expires, we believe, on the 4th of July. If rumor is to be credited, they are in a skirmish every day. Monday evening they attacked a regiment on the cars some two miles beyond Fairfax, by firing upon them with artilery; cut off the engine and seven cars, killing seven men; when the whole retreated in a precipitate run to the woods, and so escaped?Col. Gregg having just before left an ambush in which he had lain for hours, expecting them. It is rumored also that another train of Yankees was attacked by them night before last; and that 240 men were killed, and two cars and an engine captured. These little experiences, they say, have taught the enemy to keep the engine behind. You may be assured thov are disnnsed to take care of them selves. This battery of Col. Gregg which is doing such good work, is some two miles beyond Fairfax, on the line of Alexandria. It is stated that 7000 of the enemy are advancing against him ; and that he will retreat to Fairfax, if necessary, but no farther. So we are prepared for orders any moment to advance ; and we have heard this morning that Col. Kershaw's regiment received such orders hist night. We have given it as our opinion that it was the desire of the foe to advance via Manassas on this side, in order to invest Harper's Ferry; but our strength and situation, while showing that this has been regarded as their design by our military authorities, render it next to impossible of accomplishment. Every road, railorwigon, communicating between the North and this part of VirIginia, has been "effectually blockaded," except one which runs a few miles South | East of this, through a rugged fastness where a company of Virginia sharpshooters, detailed as piquets, have placed 1.1 1 | UlCinSUIVCtf auiuilg bile ruuiwa ami tjcaicu | away the undergrowth to the road-side.

C\ June 6 23 1t ?Ktaarj. Died?On the loth instant, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Sadler, in this District, Mrs. ELIZABETH M. MOORE, In the 32ud year of her age. In this event God has given us another evidence of his sovereignty, and that "flis ways are not as our ways." It cannot be otherwise than that in this afflictive separation, the relatives and friends of Mrs. M. should experience a heavy stroke; for they must look hack upon a series of tenderand affectionate intercourse now terminated, and, in this world, never more to he resumed. But this cup of sorrow Is not one of nmuixed bitterness; for "we sorrow not as those who have no hope," but feel assured that what is loss to us, L great gain to the loved nne. In all the relations ofllfe, those who knew her best loved her most. She was an IntelllgeHt companion, a sincere friend, an affectionate sister, an obedient and loving daughters truly faithful wife, and a mother as tender as children ever had the misfortune to lose. She possessed those interesting and engaging endowments of mind and heart which endeared her to her relatives, and secured to her the re apect and affection of those who knew her. She. at all times, exhibited a remarkable simplicity and purity of mind : and above all, hey.disposition was connected with that fear of God which constitute* the ornament and crown of all human excellence, and without which no bodily or menlnl endowment is of any real value. When she \vas about 11 years of ape she was brought, by grace, to realize her condition as a lost sinner, and for a season experienced great distress of mind, but was enabled to "behold the Lanih of God," and obtained peace in believing In Christ. She then united herself with the Independent Presbyterian Church, in which she continued to adorn the doctrines of the gospel, and to manifest the power of grace until after her marriage, when she transferred her membership to the Presbyterian Church at Bethesdn, In order that she might worship God, and enjoy the privileges of His house with her husband, the object of her deepest earthly afTeetion. Throughout her entire Christian life, her whole dependence for salvation was on the atonement and righteousness of Jesus Christ; audhersubdued, but cheerful Christian depomnent evinced the genuineness of her faith, add the ardor of her | piety. [ An interesting incident will illustrate her appreciation of "prayerand praise to God." Mr. M. having responded to) the call of the Governor for volunteer troops to defend the State from hostile aggression, after leaving home, found In his carpet-hag a small pocket Bible with the following In-! seription on a blank leaf: "D. D. MOORF., FROM YOUR DEVOTED WIFE, Whose prayer to God Is, that the incense of prayer and prnise may dally ascend from your bean to God. the "giver of every good and pcrfectgift." BF.TTIR MOORE." After Mr. Moore's departure for Charleston, on the Uth of April, she was attacked with Hemorrhage of the lungs, and three days afterward suffered a second attack: from which time she continued to decline until the 1.1th instant, when she was released from suffering here, and as we confidently trust, was received into the mansions of everlasting rest. During her protracted suffering, humility and patience were Iter distinguished characteristics. Extreme self-suspieinn, combined with nervous debility, prevented her at times from enjoying the full iknssurnnce nt faith;" but she assured thp writer, in repeated conversations, that she felt herself calmly and comfortably trusting in Christ?that her only ground of hope was in his righteousness?that sue was not"afraid to die?and that although she desired to live on account of her family, yet she could cheerfully say "the will of thcl.ord be done." Anil the bust sentence she ever uttered was, when having In a paroxysm of [inIn uttered a complaint, she added, "But I am In lite hands of my God. anil lie will do what Is right." At fi o'clock, A. M., she gave liirth to an Infant son, which lived but a few inlnutcs, and at 1 o'clock, I'. M. Iicr own freed spirit joined that of her babe in the kingdom of God. .She has left a husband, two little children, and a numerous circle of relatives and friends to mourn her early death. May this affliction be sanctified to them all?may the* Lord sustain and abundantly bless the bereaved?ana may we "be also readV" to meet her In heaven. W. W. ('.

With the view of enabling citizens In any part nl tiie State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the Courts of the several districts have been required to open hooks Of subscription for the Stock. Suitable arrangements will be made for furnishing the Bonds on the receipt of the money, at an enrty day ailor each subscription nas been made.
