Garnett and twenty of his men. Garnett's body was at headquarters, awaiting orders from Richmond. New York, July 15.?It is stated that the Confederate steamer Sumter has brought into Cuban ports six prizes. The authorities will hold the prizes, pending advices from Spain.

Richmond, July 10.?An intelligent passenger who arrived on this evening's train, gives the following account of the companies of Pegram's command at the battle of Rich Mountain: The Upshur Greys, Capt. lligginbotham's, all commissioned officers, except the Captain, killed; Lee Guards, Capt. Irvin, six or eight killed; Rockbridge Rifles, Capt. Curry, five or six killed. A small portion of De Lanier's Petersburg Artillery were engaged, all of whom were killed or wounded. De Lanier was bayonted at his cannon. Two of the Upshur Greys shot his slayers instantly dead. Another company, perhaps from Ilardy or another Eastern County, was engaged, but it is impossible to obtain satisfactory details to satisfy the anxious and painful hearts of the thousands of relations and friends. All companies engaged were from Virginia. Beverly was taken possession of by the Federals on Friday, at noon. The Confederates' stores were nearly all saved from the vandals. Gen. Garnett's death is confirmed, but little otherwise is known of his command or the battle. The reporter has labored diligently to obtain particulars, but it is impossible to obtain any. Russell's View of Southern Unanimity.?Mr. Russell, in his letter from New Orleans to the London Times, says: ''It is impossible to resist conviction that the Southern Confederacy can only le conquerd by means as irresistable as those by which Poland was subjugated. The South will fall, if at all, as a nation prostrate at the feet of a victorious enemy. There is 110 doubt of the unanimity of the people. If words mean anything, they are animated by only one sentiment, and they will resist the North as long as they can command a man or a dollar. There is nothing of a sectional character in this disposition of the South. In every State there is only one voice audible. Hereafter indeed, State jealousies may work their own way. Whatever may be the result, unless the men are the merest braggarts?and they do not look like it?they wilPfight to the last bfore they give in, and their confidence in their resources is only equalled by their determination to test them to the utmost." qrills.?Our readers in the country who have geese will do well to save their quills, as it will not be long before the stock of steel pens will give out, and the old firm of "Goose, Gander & Co." will have to supply the South with writing implements. We shall rejoice at this necessary substitution of the good old-fashoned "grey goose quill" for the barbarous metal innovations now so universally used. A Trip to Washington.?Last Sunday, Lieut. Col. Thomas II. Taylor, 0. S. A., of Kentucky, left this city for Washington, bearing a letter from President Davis to President Lincoln, understood to be an official notification of the course that will be pursued by this Government in the event of the execution or other criminal punishment of the prisoners taken on board the privateer Savannah.

McDowell, in command of the Lincoln forces on this side of the Potomac. He then proceeded to Fairfax, C. II., where he was furnished with an escort of twelve men and two non-commissioned officers, under command of a Lieutenant, with a white flag. 1 hence he proceeded towards Arlington, encountering a squadron { of the enemy's dragoons when within about! seven miles of that place, to whose com- j manding officer he made known his errand. Arriving at Arlington, Gen. Scott was no-j tified of his presence, and sent a carriage! to convey him to Washington, where he arrived about 9 o'clock Monday night, and j delivered his letter to Gen. Scott?Lin- j coin not being visible. Col. T. was then I re-conveyed to Arlington, where he spent! ! the night, and the next day was escortec !back through the enemy's lines. Gen. S informed him that an answer to the lettei of which he was bearer, would be forward ed to this city by one of his officers, anc requested Col. T. to deliver his "kind re gards" to Generals Lee and Beauregard.? Col. T., while in the enemy's line, was treated with all the courtesies of the pro fession.?Richmond Whit/. A lady correspondent writes us, re questiog that we publish some recipe foi the making of Blackberry Brandy. Sh( thinks that it will be highly useful among the sick of the army, and that it will b( proper and timely that a great deal of ii tiii ^ .t a_ nr . snail De rnaae me present season, deem her suggestion of sufficient importance to justify us iu giving place to several re cipes which will be found below: Blackberry Cordial.?Gather the ripesl fruit, mash it in a pan with a large woodet spoon, strain out all the juice, and allow ? quarter of a pound of sugar to a pint ol the juice; mix the juice and the sugai together, and boil and skim it; then straic 't again, and when cool to each pint ol juice add a teaoupful of brandy. Bottle ii and it will be fit for use. This is highly esteemed by some in cases of dysentery, i Blackberry Syrup?Recommended, as a Specific for Summer Complaint.?To twc quarts of juice of blackberries add one pound of loaf sugar, half an ounce of nut megs, half an ounce of cinnamon, pulverized, one quarter of an ounce of cloves, I one quarter of an ounce of allspice, pulverized; boil together fora short time, and when cold add a pint of fourth-proof brandy, Blackberry Cordial.?Put one gallon ol best brandy in a three gallon keg: fill up with blackberries, cork and set it away for three months. Then pour off and measure the liquor. To every quart add a hall pound of sugar, one pint of good wine, and one pint of water. Bottle and cork tightly. It will be ready for use in six weeks. Blackberry Wine, (an English recipe). ?Gather the blackberries when they are fully ripe and dry. Take twelve quarts and crush them with the hand; then boil six gallons of water with twelve pounds ol brown sugar, for a quarter of an hour ; skim it well and pour it on the blackberries, letting it stand all night. Then strain it through a hair seive and put it into a cask with six pounds of Malaga raisins, and one ounce of isinglass dissolved in a little ctder. Stir all up together and stop up close, letting it stand six months before bottling. Blackberry Wive.?To one gallon of clear blackberry juice add one quart of water and three pounds of white sugar.? Mix well together and put the mixture into an earthen vessel, which should be kept almost full. Skim well every twenty-four hours until it is done fermenting, which will be in about a month ; then bottle aod cork tightly. Lay the bottles down on the sides in a cool, dry place. This is a recipe that can be fully relied on if the directions be properly attended to. The Blockading Fleet.?A large steam frigate, supposed to be the Minnesota, returned from her trip to Hampton Roads, arrived off this bar Sunday forenoon, and was received by a salute from other vessels outside. There are now off here, in sight, four vessels?the Minnesota, Wabash, a propeller, no doubt the Union or Flag, and a sloop-of war, supposed to be the Jamestown. The brig Perry occasionally appears in sight of the harbor, and once in a way we have a visit from a stranger bound South. In this respect, we certainly have no cause to complain, as they pay us more attention than any other point on the coast, except it be Pensacola. The masts of the Wabash and Minnesota can be seen from auy of out city wharves on Cooper River towering high over the tops of the hills of Morris' Island. Capt. Ferguson, of the steamer Planter, left here on Saturday, at 8 o'clock, on special duty, and arrived at Bull's about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, landed a quantity of lumber, stores and laborers, left bunday morning, at 10 o'clock, running the blockade, and arrived here Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Capt. Ferguson saw off Romain a man-of-war, which is supposed to be the English steamer Razor, due on this coast about this time. Majors Trapier and Mc* Crady went up in the Planter.?Charleston Courier. Spain.?The following is the action of the Spanish Government in relation to our affairs: A royal decree admits cotton at much lower duties in Spaio from September till January. The Spanish proclamation relative to the American war says the Queen is determined to observe the strictest neutrality between th6 Federal States of the Union, and Confederate States of the South. With this view it is prohibited to arm, build and fit out privateers, no matter under what flag, in any Spanish port. Ship owners aod captains are prohibited accepting letters of marque, and from contributing in any way to the armament and fitting out of privateers. Privateers and prizes are prohibited from remaining over twenty-four hours in any Spanish port, save in case of urgent necessity, in which case the harbor authorities are to compel them to proceed to sea as early as possible, and not allow them to ship but what is necessary, and never, under any pre text, armsand ammunition. Xo articles belonging to prizes may be sold. The carriage of goods to none of the blockaded ports is guarantied, except war material and letters, which are prohibited. Offenders ns responsible for their own acts, and have no claim for protection. Spaniards are prohibited from taking service on either side, and to abstain from all acts which may be regarded as opposed to the neutrality. Offenders are to be liable to the measures adopted by the belligerents, and punished according to the laws of Spain. The decree is dated June 17, countersigned by Senor Collant aud the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Flag to Cover the Goods.?Mr. Seward put his foot in it considerably wheD he sent over to Europe his assent to the Paris Conference. Probably he has found it out by this time; if not, the following paragraph may enlighten him : "The Government of the United States," says the London Saturday Review, "cannot accede to any one provision of the code of the treaty of Paris without accepting all. One of these provisions stipulates that the flag shall cover the goods. The property of Southerners cn board English vessels is now exempt from seizure. This may prove exceedingly convenient to us next 1 wioter, when we want to bring the new cottoi . crop to Liverpool. So long as we do no r break and effective blockade, we can brinj as much cotton, and take as many Kuglisl 1 goods, from and to tho South, as the keen est trader can desire." 3 A Confab between Old Abe ani . Old Scott.?A gentleman, recently ar rived from New York, relates a con versa tion which, as was reported in Gotham wbet he left, took place a few days ago betweei r Abe Lincoln, LL. D., and Old Fuss anc j Feathers, during which; the gouty old sol : dier told the King of all the Abolitionist ; a most unpalatable truth. It seems thai l Abraham and Winfield were riding togeth ; er, reviewing the Yankee mercenaries it s the Federal Capital, when the former re marked to the latter, "General, this is t ?i?j:J apiuuuiu ttlLLijr a //n^/n^y mi^g at uuv t costs the Government daily a heap of mon i ey) but why is it remaining here idle 1 i You once penetrated to the capital of Mexi 1' co in three months, with one-fifth of th< r force that you now have under your com i mand; why do you not push on into Virgin F ia and take possession of the capital of th< t rebellious Old Dominion ?" "Ab," repliec r Old Scott, "the reason is plain and palp able : the men who carried me to the citj , of Mexico are the same that are now keeping , me out of Virginia." Fort Pickens.?A letter to the Nev York Times says that the British fleet hav< engaged all the coal that can be obtainec | in Cuba, which the writer takes as ver I unkind, as it will render the Yankee shipi of little value in the Gulf, and put an enc to the blockade until coal can be got else where. The writer also says that the arrival o the English fleet will withdraw most of th< [ Yankee ships from Fort Pickens?thei presence being necessary all along th< coast. I We infer from the letter that the block lade in the Gulf will prove a failure.?Rich j mond Whig. !l _ ' Guerilla Rangers.?"Violet" write! to the Savannah Republican from Rich mond: "A great many applications are madt daily to the War Department for permit) ; to visit the battle-fields, as rangers foi guerilla service.

Gist, Adjutant and Inspector-Genera , of the State; and Samuel Y. Tupper . leading fireman of Charleston city, all o: South Carolina. They are horsed, accou tred and armed at their own expense, anc are determined to see service." Thf. Tredegar Iron Works.?A cor respondent of the Georgia Citizen frorr Richmond, says there are something ovei 900 men employed in the Tredegar Iron Works, where they turn off over 10 cannon per day, from 5 to 134 pounders?Coluni biads, Howitzers, field pieces, rifled can non and shell, shot and balls enough tc supply an army of 500,000 men. Also, the musket stock is made in a novel way. The piece of wood is put into the machine, and i it comes out a finished stock; 500 are turned out in a day. The manufacture of cartridges is anothei show. They are made by the women and girls. Between 300 and 400 are employ ed; about SO,000 are turned off per day. There are 1200 mules constantly employed, conveying the war munitions, stores, &c. Quaint Legislation.?A law againsi obtaining husbands under false pretences, niiosnit hr f-lir> Pnolish Parliament in 1770. "J n enacts: That all women, of whatever age. rank, profession oa degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, who shall, aftei this act, impose upon, seduce, and betraj into matrimony any of his Majesty's male subjects by virtue of scents, paints, domestic washes, artificial teeth, false hair.

T. U. Tidmarsh has joined 'the Confederate forces at Memphis, and ii gallantly doing duty at the Navy Yard in ,| that place. He is one of the most famous j men in the country. He was the agent oi ! director of almost every circus that has visitj ed the South for the last ten or fifteen years. I He is a powerful as well as notable man, land throwing his whole soul and energies ] into everything he undertakes, is equal to a | regiment of Yankees. Col. Tidmarsh is j fully "in the ring," and will be sure to i cause some "ground and lofty tumbling" I in the ranks of the euemy whenever he j comes upon him. j Promotions.?We are happy to learn I that our esteemed friend Capt. John. 1). ' Wright has been promoted to the rank of j major, having received the appointment i from President i >avis of Brigade Quarter! master of the Confederate service. Capt. T. J. Klford has also received a similar promotion, having been appointj ed Brigade Commissary, with the rank and I pay of major Services in the Mexican war land elsewhere as regimental commissary j have no doubt well prepared him to discharge satisfactorily the arduous duties of the position. We congratulate these gentlemen, and hesitate not to say we think the appointments have been judiciously made. ? Spartan. Gubernatorial.?The election for Governor of Georgia takes place on the first Monday in October. There are now but ; twenty-four candidates announced, among j the principal of which is Joseph E. Brown, 'the present incumbent, lions. John JO. j Ward and Win, II. Stiles, both of whom were well known as foreigu Ministers under the former United States, and Messrs. Geo. W. Crawford, E. A. Nisbet, B. H. Hill, and James Gardner. Between now and the election there is a period of nearly three months, in which time there will probably be some twenty more names suggested. It will be hard if our neighbors cannot get a good man among so many. j Fremont's Department.?General jOrderNo. 40, issued by the Washington | War Department, constitutes the States of ! Illinois. Missouri and the territories west | of the Mississippi river, and on the side of jthcllocky Mouutains, includiug New Mexi, co?a separate military command, to be known as the Western Department, under command of Major General Fremont, U. S. A., with its headquarters at St. Louis. i Andrew Johnson a Tory by Descent. ' t ?Tbe Knoxville Register asserts, on the y authority of a gentleman who has traced ' l the traitor's lineage, "that Andy Johnson t - is of tory descent." Absalom Johnson, a c grandfather of Andy, was a South Caro- ' lina tory through the revolutionary war, x 5 and all the descendants and family connec- c - tions in that State are branded with tory- f - ism to this day. a 1 Is there not some mistake about this?? 1 We have an indisticnt recollection of read% # S 1 ing, a few years ago, a speech made by Rev. Wm. G- Brownlow, in Nashville, re3 peated in Knoxville, and afterwards pub- ? 6 lished in the Knoxville Whig, in which, jj if we recollect aright, it was stated that ^ 1 Andy Johnson's family were North Caro p linians, that many of them were horse thieves 1 and such characters, and that some of them 1 had been whipped at the pillory and bran- - ded, and perhaps some sent to the peniten? tiary. We think Brownlow also Baid that the most people had some mean kin, but 3 Andy had no other sort."?Chronicle and Sentinel, Augusta, Ga. 5 "Another Want of the Rebels."? i Under this head the N. Y. Times has an article declaring that the rebels have no 1 powder of 8. quality fit for improved arms. I It is good enough though to kill Yankees with, as every engagement since the beginning of the war has testified. We submit J that the Federalists have a much more se rious want?that of men?for the things 1 they call such, with improved arms and the f best powder, have not been able to kill a R baker's dozen of the rebels since the war , 1 commenced. t t MBit ? V Memphis to New Orleans.?The city * f of Memphis is dow in direct railroad com- ? 3 munication with New Orleans. The con- c r nection of the Mississippi and Tennessee [ 3 road with the Mississippi road at Grenada, ? has, by the energetic efforts of Mr. Rich- ? - ards, the auditor of the road, been accom- r - plished. The traveller can now go along J one unbroken road from Memphis to New e Orleans, and the day is not far distant when t * the connection will be extended by the Iron t Mountain to St. Louis. ! Socks for the Volunteers.?We see { 3 it suggested that it would be well for house- J, wives and others to knit socks and forward ? ' to the volunteers. It will not be long un- f ' til cool weather, when wollen socks will be t ' in great demand. In fact, unless the sup- cy 5 ply is larger than usual, our brave soldiers t ' will suffer.

THE Legislature having, at its late session, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the amount of $675,000, bearing an interest of seves per cent., for the purpose of providing the funds required to sustain the State in the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of the Bonds. They are Issued in sums of $50, $100 and $500. An opportunity Is thus afforded every citizen to make a secure and profitable Invest ment, while contributing aid to the cause in which the Stnte is engaged. With the view of enabling citizens in any part of the State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the Courts of the several districts have been required to open I looks of subscription for the Stock. Suitable arrangements ! will be made for furnishing the Bonds on the receipt of the money, at an early day after each subscription has been 1 made. Engagements for the purchase of Bonds may be made at the Bank, or any of Its Branches.

THE "PORTFOLIO."?AT THIS particular time, when we have severed every political tlejwhich 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 ourotvn bright sunny land with their glorious lustre; when wc have erected a new Republic, declared our Independence to the world, it peculiarly becomes us as a people, to withdraw that patronage, hitherto so liberally bestowed upon tho*e who have proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a helping hand to those "to the manor born," who are true to our institutions, true to our principles, and to our native home; we should throw off all shackles that hold us in any wise dependent upon a section whose creed I* Inimical to our dearest rights; and whose people we can no longer con template with the pure and holy love of brotherhood. The Intelligence of a people is ever estimated by the character ofthelr literature. Wc have Intellects which will pale before none! Authors, whose graceful pen* drop lnklcts of gold, and strew shining pearls of thought. Let us, then, turn our faces from the North, and seek literature for old and young within our own borders?establish literary enterprises of our own, and foster and maintain them. Believiiig that It Is the desire, nay iatention, of our people to do this, we propose to establish a SOUTHERN JUVENILE PERIODICAL, iband ereby fill a vacuum, which has existed since the demise, years ago, of the sweet little "Rote Bud." We, therefore, confidently appeal to all to aid in establishing the enterprise upon a firm and substantial basis. Believing that we appeal not in vain, wc shall at the first, or during the month of May, commence the issue of "THE PORTPHT in f i mnntlilv rvaHnsIl/*nl HovnfuH tn Virfllt* and Temperancewhich .shall not only become an agree able and amusing companion for the young, but, by the observance of a high moral tone, seek to Instruct die rising mind, and teach the youthful heart. As far as we are able, we will make II 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.
