Gen. McClellan. While we feel nothing but contempt for Gen. Scott, and are assured that he has an. adversary in Gen. Beauregard who is fully, his equal, or, rather, much his superior,j we must confess to a slight feeling of uu-j t easiness relative to the movements about to j be commenced in Northwestern Virginia, I v under the immediate command of General Geo. B. McClellan, ani we are compelled j to acknowledge him as a powerful oppo-' nent, and one who will give us much trouble before matters are settled. Gen. McClellan is a thorough commander, in every sense of the word, and is a 1 commander who understands the art of war- i fare thoroughly, one who can plan and carry out a campaign correctly, and one, j too, who will perform all his actions in a rapid and effectual manner, unless met by j a powerful opponent. He is a man in thel nrimo nf life rone in ?prpir?f> ill MpvinO. and ! i ? ' -7- i was also one ot the three military commis- j sioDers who were sent to the Crimea in 1856. Ilis report of that campaign evinces a | thorough military education, to which he j combines the practical knowledge there ac-1 quired, but which he is now putting to use against a large portion of that country which sent him there to gain that information. His position is second to Scott, and should old "Fuss and Feathers" take it into his head to resign the command of Lincoln's hordes, to assume a similar position in the region of Hades, under his satanic ma-1 jesty, Gen. McClellan will be at once elevated to his position. With such a man to contend against, our Government should be cautious of whom they send against him. It should by all means be a thorough military chieftain, not a civilian general, and we greatly fear that if that section of Virginia is giveu to Gen. Wise alone, we shall speedily have to chronicle his defeat, and his being entirely out-generaled by his opponent. In fact no man could so well operate in that section as' our President himself, could he be spared from his executive duties; but if such cannot be the case, let Col. Hardee, who long held a similar position with McClellan in the United States army, that of captain of cavalry, or Gen. Bragg, of artillery notoriety, or Gen. Lee, be sent to conduct tt>e campaign against him, and not trust our cause in that direction to raw recruits under a raw general. Let the experience of the federalists generals, Pierce and Butler, at Great Bethel, answer as a warning to us not to trust important positions and movements to brigadier or major generals selected from civil life, e\ en though they be as popular and promineut as exGovernor Henry A. Wise. The matter at stake is entirely too important to permit of such actions, and we hope to see a large force under some competent commander dispatched at once to operate against Gen. McClellan.? Charleston Evening Neics. Running the Blockade.?The South Carolina schooner Petrel, E. 0. Murden commanding, left South Edisto on Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock; passed North Edisrn at 4 o'clock, and made Stono i at 5.30 p. in. The officers report that they saw in sight two men-of-war, one a large man-of-war ship and the other a bark-rigged vessel. These were seen about twenty miles to the North-east of Charleston bar. The Petrel ran in over the bar, passing the blockaders; was brought to by a shot from Fort Sumter, when nearly abreast of Fort Johnson, and a few moments afterwards was hailed with another shot from Fort Moultrie. This occurred about 3 o'clock i on Saturday evening, and no doubt gavel rise to the current rumor, that a boat from J the blockading vessels, in attempting a landing, had been fired at from Sumter.? j The Petrel anchored in the stream, off the I battery yesterday morning, giving a salute | as she dropped anchor. An officer on board J reports the blockading vessels on Sundaymorning immediately off the bar. The Petrel while on service, seems to have been quite a mark for artillerists. During the action of Fort Sumter she was fired at sev- j eral times from Fort Sumter, whilst engaged in carrying dispatches betweeu Morris' and Sullivan's Islands and thus keeping up communication? Charleston Courier. Extraordinary Pistol Shots.?Capt. John Travis, so well and favorably known in this city, (says the Vicksburg Sun,) has had a class of ladies learning to shoot with the pistol. In these times it has become an 1 essential and popular part of female edu-; cation. A few days ago, the Captain resorted, with a few members of his class, to the residence of A. II Arthur, Esq , for thepurposeof practising, with the following result. The target was placed ten paces distant. Mrs. W. H. Stevens rang the bell four times out of five shots, with a rest, and eight times out of fifteen offhand. Mrs. (iarvin four times with a rest out of five, and four times out of fifteen offhand. Mrs. General T. C. McMakin twice out of five times with a rest, and six times out of fifteen off-haud. Mrs. A. II. Arthur twice out of five times with a rest, and seven times olf-hand out of fifteen shots. Capt. Travis says that it equals any shoot ing he ever saw by aDy class. We are in no daDger when every one of our noble ladies is a hero, and can use the weapons of Mars upon their enemies as effectually as they play the battery of their charms upon their friends. Who would not battle for them ? Vicksburg is a head taller than any place in the South. Military Movements in tiie State. ?The Darlington Cuards were organized on Monday, aud elected F. F. Warley, Captain ; T. A. Sanders, 1st.; W. E. Charles, 2d Lieut.; J. II. Ilart 3d Lieut. The Company will volunteer for active service as soon as the roll is filled. The Abbeville Riflemen at Ronalasville on Saturday, elected G. McD Miller, Captain; W. W. Iliggins, 1st Lieutenant; 11. 31. Latimer, 2d Lieut.; .Tames Pratt, 3d Lieut. The Orr Rifles, of Anderson C. II., on the 17th iust., elected T. T Harrison, Captain; Joe. Rerry Sloan, 1st Lieut ; John B Sloan, 2d Lieut. ; S. II. Owen, 3d Lieut.; W. S. Sharpe, Orderly Sergeant; W. II. Nardin, Surgeon. The Sixth Regiment (late Rion's) has been tnustcrcd into service at Suuunerville. No election for Colonel has taken place since the resignation of Col. llion. Col. Jas. I). Rlanding's Regiment is rap idly filling up, and will soon be mustered into the Confederate service. Col- Hey ward's (Ninth) Regiment will go into camp early in July. The Sorrn.?We conversed on last evening with one of the most sens.ble men in the State, just returned from the South, where he went two weeks since, to see for ! himself what was to be seen. He says the j wheat crop, which ismoreihan three times] as large as ever before raised, has beati harvested. That the corn is made and safe, in the same proportion He says, all persons there say they can live on corn and wheat The potatoes, he says, are even better. The feeling he represents to be unanimous that the Confederate Government can get all any man raises upon their certificates: that he did not pass through a town where he did not find soldiers passing and drilling. He believes there will not be a piece of silver, from a spoon to a pitcher, or a ring, breast-pin or bracelet, which will no be given to their Government and coined. The women and boys from ten years old up are all learning to shoot. This gentleman has been a member of our Legislature, is worth at least 8200,000, and has been a most decided opponent to the Democratic party through life, and until very recently a strong Union man. The day is breaking.?Lexington (Ay.,) States j man. Distinguished Arrival.?The Richmond Enquirer, of Saturday, makes the following important announcement: "We have the satisfaction to announce the arrival, in this city, of a distinguished stranger from fhe sunny clime of France, the land of LaFayettc, and associated with many thrilling memories of our first revolution and of our first war of independence. This stranger is no less a personage than Prince Camille de Polignac, a name illustrious in history; and he comes, as LaFayette came, to draw his sword in behalf of a brave and generous people, who have taken up arms to resist the attempts of a tyrant and a despot to subjugate and enslave them. "Prince Polignac served with much gallantry in the Crimea, and is unquestionably well acquainted with the organization and discipline of the French army. "We understand that President Davis received the Prince yesterday at bis office, in the War Department, with that urbanity and cordiality for which he is so justly distinguished." Consequences of the War.?Ad able editorial in the Baltimore Ex change, of Monday last, on the respective abilities of the two sections to carry on war successfully, concludes as follows: "Whichever way we regard it, the consesequences are tbe3ame?partially injurious to the South ; but disastrous to the North The South loses little; it spends comparatively little, and is piling its wealth up.? The North loses everything, speuds enormously and stores scarcely auythiug. Every day adds, in fact, to the strength of the South, and diminishes that of the North. The war tells alike on the Western farmer, the Eastern manufacturer, and the New York bauker. The effect upon the former, however, is only temporary ; upon the two latter it must be more permanent. The eventual result of the war will surely be to unite the slave States in one grand Republic, and the North will then find that its suicidal policy has only served to establish a nation, which possesses not only vast resources in the growth of staples peculiar to itself, but which has, in addition, every element of wealth possessed by the free States. The North will at the same time discover that it has separated itself from a couutry, upon the productions of which it was act- j ually dependent tor the prosperity ot its j largest interests, and for the means of af-1 fording employment to its operatives and occupation to its marines. The Hampton Legion. Col. Wade Hampton with three remaining Infantry Companies leave, by an extra Charlotte train, this morning, at nine o'clock. Surseon-General Gibbes, on a furlough from Governor Pickens, goes as a volunteer on Col Hampton's personal Staff. The Legion will rendezvous at Richmond, and as soon as certaiu arrangements are completed, which will be in a few days, will be sent to its destination. When it is heard from there will be stirring news, and the days of the Revolution will be brought vividly to recollection. The personnel of this body is rarely exceeded, aod the esprit <le corps is a gem of the first water. We hope that they will be sent, to the post of honor and danger, to oppos^ the only General officer, McCle'lan, who is a true man. Paper generals, like Patterson ; and Cadwallader, and generals who are acant couriers of their defeats to convey news j to the rear like the squint-eye Butler, should j be left to our new recruits to practice on. I Columbia Carolinian 2d hist. Federal Outrages at Fortress Monroe.?It was but a few days ago that the National Intelligencer spoke in glowing terms of the proclamation of General McDowell, advising the federal troops to respect private property. Incidentally, the Intelligencer spoke in terms of guarded approval of the conduct of the troops thus j far. We clip the following extract from the Fortress Monroe correspond-.:uce of the New York Tribune, as an evidence of the atrocious mauner in which the troops really do behave : ' The outrages committed by oursoldiers on the property, and not unfrequently on j the persons also, of Virginians conceived (to be secessionists, are a disgrace to our ' army. A proper degree of discipline would insure the shooting of platoons of scoun| drels, not all privates, who seem to have 'imbibed the idea that they came here to ! pillage and destroy The outrages that I j could detail are calculated to cause every ! decent man to blush. A wound has been j inflicted that never will heal, so long as i recollection remains. It is in the hope that [some good may be done thereby that 1 i make this disgraceful confession." The Federal Forces.?The Washing I mgton Star, of Wednesday eveuing, puts |dor,nthe total nunjber of troops which [have arrived there at 48,810, exclusive {of recruits, numbering about 2,000, and several independent companies, so that the I aggregate is over 00,000, without counting I regulars, marines and District of Columbia , troops, the latter about 4,000 strong. If this be irue, the total aggregate of troops 'already ou that line amounts to between tif| ty six aud fifty seven thousand. - Gf.n. JIagrudkr to Butler.?Gen ! Butler sent word to Gen. Magruder he hoped the war would be conducted on prin eiples of civilized warfare. Geu. M. replied, I have buried your dead aud taken I care of your wuutided in sight of the houses I of widows and orphans whom you have driven forth and whose property you have destroyed. LATESTNE WS "editorial correspondence. Cami> Walker, 5 th Reg., S. C. V. \ Near Manasas, Va., June 28, 1861. j Dear Enquirer:?We arc short up for something to write about for once, j Although everything in point of preparation is moving forward with sleepless energy; yet there is a very manifest lull in the storm, as if the two enemies, now almost in "charge bayonets" distance of each other, were postponing the deadly onset until after the 4th of July. We do not now anticipate a pitched battle soon ; for Mr. Crittenden, who was re-elected to the United States Senate from Kentucky, will be prepared with a batch of compromises which will nvhonot thn fivct month of tho sns sion. The news is dry?not even any brilliant and adventurous individual deeds have come to our notice since we last wrote. And the general plans of our military chieftains are kept locked up in the secrets of their own minds. It was indeed said yesterday, that Beauregard had telegraphed to President Davis to permit him to march on Alexandria, and that Davis refused ; but we did not believe it. It is not like Beauregard to let his secrets leak out. llere is an anecdote of him that illustrates admirably his way of keeping counsel with himself. The other day a man came all the way from Louisiana to get information. lie went to Beauregard, and asked for enlightenment. Beauregard replied : "If I thought the coat on my back knew my plans, 1 would tear it off." You need not wonder, then, if our letters possess but little military interest. We have one resource left, however; and that is speculation. While many in camp are beginning to express the belief that there will be no war; we are led to retain the impression still that there will be a "short sharp and decisive"' conflict. Gen. Beauregard has the South-side of Washington girdled in with a semi-circle of over 30,000 bayonets, reaching from 5 miles in the rear of Arlington Heights clown to .Ut. Vernon. It is somewhat probable that Maryland will secede, if she has not already through her Legislature ; and that she has agreed, or will agree, to close in upon the North-side of Washington.' These menaces to the Northern capital, if they are made, will cause the concentration there of all their available forces for its defence. We hold the opinion as probable, therefore, that there will in a month or two be a fight with some 200,000 on each side, at or near Washington. They cannot stand it long, however. Next Fall or Winter will, we think, see the end of this wicked crusade against our rights. The "commercial bit" must restrain our enemies, even though the spur to drive them on be a treaty in which the right, if they wish to exercise it, of peaceable secession, shall be guaranteed to all the Southern States. Our fair is only "so, so"?that is, what we get from the commissary department. Our bacon and sugar are both very inferior; our bread was so until we commenced drawing flour a few days ago. We have frequent permission, however, to go out into the country and make additions of mutton, chickens, (lucks, eggs, butter, buttermilk, &c., to our cuisine. Of course, the farm-houses cannot supply the immense demand; but they do enough to make our tables (juitc palatable. We draw, too. occasionally, beef as succulent and rich as heart could wish.? Withal, then, in spite of the sorry bacon which we don't need much, and the dirty heavy brown sugar which, as the boys all say, "would spoil the best cup of coffee ever made," we are living well j enough. I Good spirits and better health prej vail. Some regiments have suffered j severely from the measles. We have ! had a few cases; but every precaution j has been taken, and it is hoped they j will not break out generally. i ^ o # * Col. Williams' regiment is brigaded with our's now?some say only for the time being, others say permanently. Col. Gregg's regiment has fixed upon the 10th July as their day to return home. Their time of service expires a few days before. They are disgusted with the Yankees, we learn; and say j they have tried every way to get a fight | in vain. The regiment will reorganize | at home, and return. Col. Gregg it is thought will be made a Brigadier general. Our scouts are daily picking off the stragglers of the enemy: and this too, right in the shadow of their camp. We are told this moment that yesterday our picijuets killed two and captured two, while only one escaped, near Melville Station on the road to Alexandria below Fairfax. One of the prisoners is a "pet lamb" of Ellsworth's Zouave regiment. He says they intend to lie still till Congress meets, and then, to use his own language, "wipe us out." Yours, drily.

The most significant articles, published simultaneously in the J'atric jand Mvnitcur, foreshadow the coming recognition of the Southern Confederacy. The Emperor announces for himself and other European powers, that the Confederacy has the same claim to acknowledgment as the new kingdom ol I Italy, when it shows that it can main: tain itself, and international relations can be established with its rulers. Fremont has been commissioned a 1 regular major general, ranking next | to McClellan. Orders have been givci; ' to supply the whole force, on both side.1 'of the Potomac, with extra rations foi six days. Patterson's delay in advancing keeps everything waiting.

Richmond, July 2.?The New York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says the officers and crew of the privateer Savannah are comfortably situated in their rooms, and appear cheerful and hopeful of an early release. Some of the New York morning papers have raised their prices of subscription. Scarcity of Cotton and the Block ape.?The manufactures at the North are becoming embarrassed in their operations by the scarcity of cotton, and we notice that the New York Post, a great advocate of the war, is out in an argument in favor of raising the blockade, on the ground that its continuance will greatly injure the North and correspondingly benefit the South. The | Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraphy another war journal, announce that work in the cotton I mill at that place is to be temporarily suspended, owing to an advance in the price i of cotton and difficulty in procuring sufficient suppliesof the article. The Conestoga Mills, at Lancaster, Pa., have already suspended for similar reasons. These suspensions are, we presume, what a Boston clergy man a few days ago exultiogly called the ' "blessings of war." From Mexico.?From the latest news from Mexico we learn that Mr. Oorwin has no immediate prospect of success in the negotiation of a treaty. The following communication appears in Trait <l' Union, the French paper published in Mexico, and which may be considered in the Comonfort interest: "In a treaty Mr. Lincoln will probably impose conditions hostile to the Southern Confederacy, whose friendship is a precious guarantee and a necessity to the peace and prosperity of the Mexican Republic. This friendship broken, or even cooled, the Rio Grande could easily be crossed by the fillibusters and the fire-eaters, and the disastrous result of a border warfare brought upon us." TriE Episcopal Convention. ? We learn frotn the Abbeville Press that this body has adjourned, having appointed the next annual Convention to be held at Grace Church, Charleston, the second Wednesday in February next. Resolutions were adopted by the Convention sustaining the action of the Confederate Government, expressing "surprise and mortification" at the course of the churches North, and recommending measures for effecting an early separation. The following gentlemen were elected Delegates to the Montgomery Convention : Rev. P. J. Shaod, Rev Paul Trapier, Rev. ;C. C. Pinckney, Messrs R. F. W. Allston, i Edward McCrady, and Wm, E. Martin. I Old Kanawha all Right.?We are i gratified to learn that the people of Kana ; wha county have at last awakened to a clear j realization of surrounding circumstances | The most exciting meeting ever held there came off last week, and perfect unanity prevailed. Dr. Patrick declared it to be the duty of every man in Kanawha to resist to his uttermost this invasion or Virginia. J. H. Brown, Union delegate to the Legislature, was still more emphatic.? The second section of a resolution passed rends: "We further proclaim to the world that although we differed in opiuion upon the adoptiou of that ordinance, wc are now united to a man, and firmly resolved to stand by Virginia one and entire, and to defend her soil against all invasion of U. S. troops, whatever may be the pretext with which such invasiou may be made."?Frederick (la) Herald. A Generous Parish.?The planters of Concordia Parish, Ln., have not only armed and equipped a splendid artillery company, numbering 93 men, and raised from the parish, but have determined to support them during their term of service, in this way : Privates 816 a month ; officers in proportion: 820 a month to the wife of every member; and 85 a month to each child of a member. This is really princely. Such patriotism as this should be told in letters of gold, rather than in plain printers' ink. 1 Confederate Postage Stamps ?The | Richmond Dispatch says no contract has I been eutered into for the manufacture of ! postage stamps, nor can any be had for distribution for several months. Various designs have deen submitted by several lithographers of New Orleans and Baltimore, ri/nria r\f tnkirtL koro r?r knon uDnonforl "uut Wl r,",v" v/. ?v~ by the Government.

The Avalanche, of the 25th June, says I that the editor has been shown a dispatch !from the Southern Commissioners in Entrope, which was brought through Canada, ; stating that $200,000,000 had been offer led for the cotton crop, and that France and ipugland would soon acknowledge the j Southern Confederacy.

S. troops, from Texas numbering 489 men, now at Fort Hamilton, New York, in consequence of their anomalous position?having pledged themselves not to take up arms against the Confederate States?have petitioned the . War Department for a discharge. These . men are in a destitute condition, having no blankets, and many of them have received i no pay for fourteen months. ? Effects of the War on' Journalism. ; ?The hard times are beginning to show themselves pretty severely among the news-1 t papers, North and South. The country papers are collapsing in every direction, i and, in cousequence of the lack of adverti; sing, there is a general movement among the dailies in the large cities to reduce their size. The papers in Augusta and Savannah have increased their subscription price Even the "iMetropolitan" journals of New York are trembling and tottering before the tempest which they have so long striven to raise. The "triple sheets" of the enterprising Ilcrald are no longer to be seen. The mammoth Courier and Enquirer, the ferocious organ of James Watson Webb, has collapsed and been absorbed by the lugubrious World. The Times (Seward's organ) has very materially reduced its size. And all this is but the begiuning of the end.?Charleston Mercury. Prom Pensacola. From the Pensacola Tribune, of the 2oth June, we glean the following items. It will be seen that the steamship Vanderbilt, which left New York recently with Billy Wilson's pickpockets on board has arrived at Fort Pickens, an excellent place for Scott to get rid of these rascals, which he said were a disgrace to the army. They can now quietly lie down and die, and have the honor of being buried on Santa Rosa Island: "On Saturday afternoon last we noticed the departure, eastwardly, under full sail and steam, of one of the small fry of our faithful watchers outside. On Sunday morning last, about 11 o'clook, the steam frigate Mississippi, with Commodore Stringham aboard, arrived. She was saluted with thirteen guns from the Niagara, which was answered by nine from the frigate. Yesterday morning the transport steamship Vanderbilt, which left New York on the 6th, arrived also. The Mississippi anchored to the stern and the Vanderbilt ahead of the Niagara. The trio are anchored, in a batch, several miles from the bar to the eastward of Fort Pickens. Yesterday afternoon a steam frigate was observed standing in for the bar from the westward. She passed and went among the fleet. Immediately on her arrival in the fleet she fired a salute of thirteen guns in honor of the Black Republican commodore, which was an swered by the Yankee minion with nine guns. The vessel proved to be a Norwegian man-of-war bound here for coal. But it was 'no go.' To day, at noon, they were kicking up a terrible noise and fuss outside?it is supposed that the Norwegian commander honored the bull dog with a visit. "This morning the transport steamship Thomas Swann, from New York, with rifle cannon, &c., for Fort Pickens, arrived outside, in the fleet." Special iloticcs. ~ NYtiTCL^ ~ Lieut. J. W.

An opportunity is thus afforded every citizen to make a secure and profitable invest inent, while contributing aid to the cause in which the State is engaged. Willi the view of enabling citizens in any part of the State to share in the I,nan, the Clerks of tin" Courts of tlic several districts have been required to open bunks of subscription for the Stock. Suitable arrangements will lie made fur furnishing the Bunds on the receipt of the money, at an early day after each subscription has been made. Engagements for the purchase of Bonds may be made at tile Bank, or any of its Branches. It is probable that, at the next session of the Legislature, those parties who desire it mav have their Bonds converted into Stock. ('. M. FL'RMAN, President.

HE~^0RTFOLlO.''?AT THIS particular time, when we have severed every political titgwhlch bound us In vassalage to an arrogant and oppressive North; when we have plucked our stars from the hateful and contaminating atmosphere of fanaticism, and placed them in the clear blue of our own Southern sky, that they may shine encircled with a halo of truth, adorning our own bright sunny land with their glorious lustre; when we have erected a new Republic, declared our independence to the world, It peculiarly becomes us as a people, to withdraw thai patronage, hitherto so liberally bestowed upon those who have proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a helping band to those "to the manor bom," who are true to our institutions, true to our principles, and to our native home; we should throw otf all shackles that hold us in any wise dependent upon a section whose creed is Inimical to our dearest rights; and whose people we can no longer contemplate with the pure and holy love of brotherhood. The intelligence of a people is ever estimated by the character oftlieir literature. We havp intellects which will pale before none! Authors, whose graceful pen* drop inklets of gold, and strew shining pearls of thought. Let us, then, turn otir faces from the North, and seek literature for old and young within our own borders?establish literary enterprises oi our own,and foster and maintain them. Believing that it is the desire, nay intention, of our people to do tills, we propose to establish a SOUTHERN JUVENILE PERIODICAL, lltand ereby fill a vacuum, which has existed since the demise, years ago, of the sweet little "Rote Bud." YVe, therefore, confidently appeal to all to aid in establishing the enterprise upon a firm and substantial basis. Believing that we appeal not in vain, we shall at the first, or during the month of May, commence the issue of "THE PORTFOLIO," a monthly periodical, devoted to "Truth, Virtue and Temperance;" which shall not only become an agreeable and amusing companion for the young, but, by the observance of a high moral tone, seek to instruct .he rising mind, and teach the youthful heart. As far as we are able, we will make It Interesting to all. Many of our most gifted writers, both of prose and verse, have kindly consented to assist in making THE PORTFOLIO rich with sparkling gems?the Southern asphodels of thought. Of those who have thus voucltsafed their aid, we are permitted to name our esteemed poet-friend, JAMES WOOD DAVIDSON, Rev. C. P. GADSDEN,Rev. J. R. KENDRICK, EDWIN J1ERRIOT, Dr. A. L. HAMMOND, B. I).

More/and, Viola, Nellie, Toeoah, Stella awl Maud; thus combining a brilliant contributory stall", whose merits hnve heen recognized and justly appreciated. YY'e will spare no pains to make THE PORTFOLIO tire juvenile paper of the South, it will be neatly printed in dear type, upon fine (took paper,quarto form, of good size ; and among its many attractions will contain a "Promenade," in which our fair friends are invited to walk with us into c,very southern heart and home that is open to us; a "Joker's Budget," which shall unfold rare wlttlciims ; a "Little Farmer," and "Dairy Maid's Apartment ;" a "Floral Column," in which the prettiest flowers will bud; together with a corner devoted to the "B-igade of Infantry," where our sinallust friend can shine.
