common sense should not apply to the affair? of war as well as to the affairs of peace. Every man should be in the right place, and no man in a place for which he is uofit. We are decidedly opposed to catering tc unreasonable ambition by jeoparding the results of this important war upon the contingencies of a different philosophy, or no philosophy at all." Telegraphic Facts and Rumors. Richmond, July 5.?The blockade oi the Chesapeake, it is said, has been bioken by private individuals by permission of Lincoln and Butler. The facts are in possession of the British Minister at Washington, Lord Lyons, and trouble between the Lincoln Government and England may be expected. News has been received that Capt. Baker and his associates of the privateer Savannah have been found guilty of piracy. The Confederate authorities promptly ordered Col. Bowman and a federal prisoner here to be taken into custody, ana it is understood will notify Lincoln that if any L j x. e .u- n?1 arm is uoue to uoe ui tuc uniuuuiauo, it will be immediately followed by retaliation to the fullest extent, even to hanging. Leavenworth, July 7.?Governor Jackson calls the Missouri Legislature to meet at Sarcoxie, seventy miles from Fort Scott, to pass a secession ordinance. Montgomery entered Missouri with four hundred men. Richmond, July 8.?Passengers report a heavy increased Federal force at Martinsburg. Forms for bonds and stocks of the Confederate States, subscribed for in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, have been supplied. Florida, Mississippi and Lousiana will be supplied with forms the present week. Virginia is taking liberally every day. One of our banks took 8300,000 worth. The Bank of the Commonwealth took 8100,000. It is reported that Wigfall has been tendered the command of a Texan Regiment. Several prominent Federal prisoners in Richmond, at liberty on parole, have been confined in consequence of the recent Federal action against persons arrested as privateers. Washington, July 8.?The news is mi r? 11! very meagre, me xvepuDiicau caucus uaa deoided to push business rapidly. The war appropriations will be made at once. Wilson's bills to increase the army and ratify Lincoln'sacts, were referred to.a Committee. It is rumored that Crittenden and Wickliffe are preparing a compromise. There is no prospect of its even being received for discussion. Mr. Breckinridge is a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations. The Post's special correspondent says that 12,000 Federals crossed the Potomac in twenty four-hours. F. II. Walton, Governor of Utah, deeming the support of Lincoln's movements inconsistent with his duty, resigned. Col. Duryea has been made a BrigadierGeneral. Help the Sick and Wounded Soldier. Atameetingof ladies of Columbia, held on the 5th of July, at the Washington street Methodist lecture room, for the purpose of collecting and forwarding supplies for the relief of the sick soldier? at the hospitals in Virginia, two of which they are aiding, one at Culpeper C. II., another at Yorktown, it was resolved that a card should be published to make known to all parts of the State the great want that is felt at all the hospitals, and to call upon all who may feel willing to contribute to their relief to do so, in such ways as may be most convenient for themselves. It is desirable to send on relief as soon as possible, and any articles needed in a sick-room, such as arrow-root, barley, rice, tapioca, gelatine, farina, or corn starch, flax-seed, wines, (especially blackberry and port,) cordials, jellies, clothing, especially under-clothing, bedding, as sheets, pillowcases, blankets, surgical baudages; or old linen, and donations of money, if forwarded to Mrs. John Bryce, at her residence on Blanding street, Columbia, will be sent on to Virginia with the contributions from Columbia. Editors of papers throughout the State desirous of ministering to the relief of the sick soldiers are requested to publish the proceedings. Arkansas to be Invaded.?An express from Fort Smith, the 29th ultimo, arrived at Little Rock on the 1st, coming direct from the Missouri border, with news that Missouri is being overrun with Lincoln troops. The express man says that all the towns on each side of the Missouri are now in the possession of the Black Republicans of Illinois. Montgomery and Lane are marching for the Indian country. Springfield, Missouri, is filled with Abolitionists, who intend the invasion of Arkansas, organizing by movements upon Fayetteville. Proclamation of Gen. Ben. McCulloch.?

All organized companies, whether cavalry or infantry, will report at Fayetteville, and will at once be formed into regiments and battalions.

Brigadier-General Commanding. Seizure of a Peace Petition in NewYork.?A copy of the subjoined petition, numerously signed by Wall street brokers, was seized in New York, on Friday, by order of Superintendent Kennedy, who alleged, as a reason for its seizure, that several of the signers wished their names erased from the petition. The copy taken had some seven hundred signatures attached : "7'" JJi.< KsmHeiiry Abraham Lincoln, l're.<i<Ient of th< ( nitcd Stales ; The undersigned, citizens of New York, beg leave to present to you, most respectfully aud earnestly, the following cousideratious : ' While they hold themselves ready to! sustain and defend their Government, and you, as its legal head, they respectfully suggest that the only remaining honorable position for you to take to prevent the horrors 11 of civil war, and preserve the Union, is to adopt the policy of an immediate general convention of all the States, as suggested in your inaugural, i "This course would secure a peaceful soi lution of our national difficulties, and if any i State refuse to join said convention to amend i the Constitution, or adjust a peaceable separation, it would stand unanimously condemned before the civilized world. Earnestly deprecating civil war among brethren we implore and beseech you to adopt this 1 course, which you may rest assured is the real voice of the people." On Saturday, Frederick Guion was arrested on a charge of treason, having been 1 engaged in circulating the above Mr. Guion is represented as a quiet and respectable citizen, and has published a card asserting the right of petition. ^ f-fc mi _ 1 THE SIXTH TtEGIMENT. ? J.ne oixin Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers is now full. The three companies that were necessary to complete the organization have arrived at Summerville, and will be mustered into the Confederate service in a few days. The Regiment consists now of the following companies: 1. Calhoun Guards, Capt. J. T. Walker; 2. Chester Blues, Captain E. C. McLure; 3. Chester Guards, Captain 0. Hardin; 4. Catawba Guards, Captain G. L. Strait; 5. Pickens Guards, Captain J. M. Moore; C. Buckhead Guards, Capt. E. C. Means; 7. Boyce Guards, Captain J. N. Shedd; 8. Carolina Mountaineers, Captain Goodlett; 9. York Volunteers, Captain John M. White; 10. Fairfield Fencibles, Capt. . President Davis has been requested to appoint a Colonel to command the Regiment. As soon as this is done, it will no doubt be ordered on immediately to Virginia. British War Vessels in the Gulf. ?The Havana correspondent of the New York Herald, writing upon the 20th of June, gives the following important information : The business of transferring vessels from the American to the British flag is proceeding with alacrity and dispatch. Quite a number have availed themselves of the facilities afforded by the simple provisions of the British law for this purpose. Her Majesty's ship Jason, one of the finest steam frigates in the British navy, arrived here yesterday on her way to the mouth of the Mississippi river, for the purpose, as I understand, of ascertaining with what effectiveness the blockade is carried on in that quarter. She is, 1 am further in1 fnrmo/I tn Kp fnllnwpd hv a number of oth ? -- J er first class frigates, with smaller vessels, which will be distributed all along the blockaded coast, with instructions to break the blockade wherever it shall be found unsupported by a sufficient naval force to make it entirely effective. You can judge, perhaps, better than the writer of this, to what complications such instructions are likely to lead. An Admonition.?The recent drought which pervaded a large portion of the South has been relieved in many localities by copious showers. Was it not intended as an admonition against any, at least, misuse of our incoming crops ? The whole country had just been blessed with a plenteous crop of wheat and oats. In ordinary times such i- - .. l n? i I IX CiruULUMttUUC una gcuciaujr uccu uic otgnal for profuse dealing in the articles harvested. As if to check the spirit at a time like this, the clouds were made to hold back their influences and a drought of considerable severity came on. The certain j effect was, to cause every man to keep i up the rigid economy of the previous part j cf the year. However abundant the small j grain, it was no time to be slack in its usej when corn and cotton might be cut short, j The people were at once brought back to j their sense of thrift. And now, although j the raius have partially come, let us be as j careful as we are thankful. Corn is not j made yet. And if it were, the exigencies1 of war are still before the country. Make las much as we may aud save it as best wci can, hard times are still ahead of us. Edgefield Advertiser. - W1H - * Reaction in Porkopolis.?A gentle-1 man lately from Cincinnati, states that a j great change has occurred there within the last month. Many a merchant has been ruined, business of all kinds is depressed, and the owners of large amounts of provisions, &c., have beer, bankrupted in consequence of the failure to permit them to | ship their goods. All classes have been | placed ou the same level?a common ruin. There is a strong anti-war feeling in the city. The result is, that the office of the Cincinnati Enquirer; it is reported, has lately been, or is about to be, removed to Newport, when it will become an anti-warjournal. The object of the removal is to save the office from mob violence at the hands of the Black Republicans, it is the intention to publish it in Newport, and circulate it in Cincinnati, as before. Camp Jokes.?It is said that Gen. Magruder, in command at Yorktown, is not a member of the temperance society, and the boys, who are sometimes rather dry, have not failed to discover that fact, and perhaps to speak pretty freely of it sometimes. Among these was private Winship Stedman of this town. On the day after Stedman had performed an act of great gallantry in the scouting party from Bethel Church, he was confounded at a peremptory order to I appear before the General, enforced by a section of soldiers. He was unable to de- ( ; cide whether he was to be shot or repri- ; rnanded, till he reached the General's tent and was sternly addressed thus : "Private , Stedman, I understand that you have said that old Magruder drinks all the liquor in ( Yorktown, and won't let you have a drop. I You shall say so no longer, sir. Walk in aud take a drink. I commend you for your bravery."?Fuyetterillc Observer. M or f. Sout h Caroli n i a n s Wanted. ? We learn that a requisition has been made upon this State for two thousand more volunteers to proceed immediately to the seat of war. The Columbia Carolinian also gives a report, which we have reason to be- 1 lieve well founded, that the Governor intends to form two encampments of three thousand men, to be received by companies?Mrreury. Looking Out for a Safe Place to : Hide.?A few days since, a lieutenant from General Magruder's camp, with three men, went to Hampton under a flag of truce, < for the purpose of exchanging prisoners. Not far from Great Bethel, the attention ot ; the lieutenant and his party was arrested : by the sight of a company of armed Yankee soldiers running from them with looomotive speed, an officer on horseback leading the way. Discering the flag of truce, however, the aforesaid officer on horseback came up to our lieutenant, introduced himself as a lieutenant of a certain New York 'regiment, and added "not knowing what you were after, I was looking out for a safe place for my men to hide." A Patriotic Example.?Parke Arnold, Esq., of Coweta County, has uniformed an entire company of soldiers from Palmetto at his own expense?furnishing everything, including swords. He t jok his own overseer (a very tall man) and made him colorbearer of the company. He has two thousand one hundred acres planted in cotton, and says that, after deduoting his expenses and enough for ordinary uses, he will subscribe the balance to the Government; and, ! besides, will give fifty thousand dollars for ! the victory that wins our independence. Mr. Arnold is one of those dear oppressed Union men for whose relief Lincoln is sending an army down South.?Athens Confederacy. S8F One of General Butler's "guides" and confidential friend is George Scott, a negro shve, of York county, who has been runaway for two years past. He acted as guide to the troops that fought and lost the battle at Bethel. He is called in by Butler to identify the rebels or tories who are brought into Fortress Monroe. Recently a gentleman of Elizabeth City, named Lively, fell into tne hands of the Yankees, and was taken to their headquarters for examination. Butler had heard that Lively was a quartermaster general in the Confederate army, and would believe nothing else till negro George assured him that Mr. Lively held no military position of any sort.?Richmond Enquirer. A Good Name.?The name of Jackson seems to be gaining an enviable distinction in the present war. First, James W. Jackson, of Alexandria, Va., slew Col. Ellsworth for interferring with a flag, private property, when he knew his own death would follow, o j n? t? at OUUUUUj \JTUV. Ul i'ltoouuiij U?g taken a bold, patriotic stand for the South, against heavy odds. Third, Mrs. Jackson, of Tazewell, drove Andy Johnson, the traitor, from her hotel, assuring him that money could not purohase her provisions for such an ingrate. Hurrah for the Jacksons !? Fayettcville Ob. Lecturing on Bethel.?It is ludicrous to observe how quick the Yankees are to turn a penny, regardless of the means. They do not even shrink from narrating, in lively style, how they were flogged by our troops, when they can make the narrative "pay." A Northern paper gives us the following: Capt. Kilpatrick, of Compauy H, the Duryea Zouaves, who will be remebered as one of the Federal troops who led the charge at Big Bethel, is delivering lectures in New York, descriptive of the scenes of the battle. A destructive fire occurred in the Virginia Penitentiary at Richmond on Monday last, uesiruyiug severui wui nouup, and entailing a lo3s upon the State of S15000. The incendiary was supposed to be one of the convicts This is a serious loss at this time, when it will be almost impossible to replace the machinery. The convicts were engaged in the manufacture of goods for the use of the army at the time of the fire, and it was doubtless in order to stop this source of supply that one of the villains conceived the infamous plan of burning the workshops. Brilliant Feat of the Floridians! Cedar Keys, Fla., July 5.?The schooners Fanny Ba&mly and Three Brotherr, of New Orleans, and the Olive. Branch, of Mobile, all recently captured by Lincoln's cruisers, and sent as prizes to Key West, were recaptured off Cedar Keys on the 3d inst. by the Florida forces. Lieut. Seldcu, U. S. N., and nineteen seamen, were taken prisoners, and have been sent to Tallahassee. The crews of the schooners are safe at Cedar Keys, and will be sent home. Southern Made Musket Caps.?We have received from a friend in Nashville, some specimens of the musket caps made in that city. The factory, under the superintendence of Col. Samuel D. Morgan, is turning out daily 125,000. A large lot has been forwarded to Richmond, some of which were used in the battle of Great Bethel. Our volunteers can inspect these caps at our office.?Mercury ... 4>?t> iSf The Virginia State Convention, on Thursday, adopted an Ordinance, declaring that holders of office under Lincoln shall, after the first of August next, be held as alien euemies. To those beyond the limits of the United States, the first of July, 1862, was fixed for the commencement of the Ordinance. Death of Gov. Ellis, of North Carolina.

Virginia, nn Sundav. r ' o ; / Tiie Congress of the Confederate States at Montgomery.?Mr. Russel, the correspondent of the London Times, was presented at one of the sittings of the Congress of the Confederate States at Montgomery. In a letter from that city to the Times, dated May 8, he says: As far as I could judge, an assembly of more calm, determined, and judicial looking men could not be found in any country in the world. No one who casts his eye over those grave heads, some massive and full, others keen, compact, energetic, could doubt that he was : in the presence of men with a great work on hand, and with great capabilities for the execution of their task. ? ? ???

Johnston had also evidently been reinforced. ; Reports of serious battles are entirely , unconfirmed at the War Department, j Patterson's communications with the Department are very irregular, considering he is within sixty hours of Washington.

The pay of privates is to be increased and the expenses of the Government reduced. Spain proclaims a rigid neutrality. Patterson had sent for reinforcements.

Serious Accident.?On Monday night Mr. Robert Pagan, late sheriff of our district, met with a serious accident. Being very warm he retired early to his room, over Mr. William's drug store, and having bathed himself, went to bed. Sometime between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, it is supposed, he got up in his sleep and walked out on a shed roof which cam e up to his window. He only made a few steps when he fell from the shed, a distance of near 16 feet. His groans attracted the attention oP Mr. Graham's negroes, who hastened to arouse the family. He was then taken into Mr. Graham's house, where he now lies in quite a critical condition. Mr. Pagan was home on furlough, being a member of the Calhoun Guards, and had intended returning to camp on the next morning.?Chester Standad, 4th instant. Providential.?So many wonder- ; ful escapes and preservations seem to be ; vouchsafed to our people, that to describe t them seems like romance.

As far as we are able, wc will make it interesting to all.
