Privateering, The privateer Dixie, which sailed firor a port in the Confederate States, some week go, returned lately after a successful cruise Soon after getting to sea, she took the bar! Glen, from Philadelphia, for Tortugas, witl cargo of coal, which vessel was successful!' run into Beaufort, N. C. She afterward captured the schooner Mary Alioe, fron the West Indies, for New York, which ves eel was afterwards retaken by the stean frigate Wabash. The Mary Alice had 01 board a valauble cargo of sugar, and wai consequently worth something. The barl Bowena, from Laguayra, for Philadelphia with 1,000 bags of coffee, was also cap tured, and got successfully into port, and aj both vessel, and cargo are in good order, ii was as a valuable prize. The Rowena is i fine bark, of about 340 tons, rating abou A1J, and the coffee is, no doubt, wort! here forty cents a pound. Out of this, th< Dixie will, no doubt, be able to deolare j dividened. The brig Robert R. Kirkland from Turk's Island, of and for Baltimore with a cargo of salt, was also spoken, but after frightening the Captain, the Kirk' land was allowed to proceed, Baltimore ves sels not being legal captures. The Dixie was chased into a neighboring harbor bj one of Lincoln's steamers, but Bhe got in safe and sound, and will soon be ready foi another shot at the enemy. High praise is due Lieutenant L. D. Benton for the handsome manner in which he brought the Dixie into Bull's Bay, while being chased by one of Lincoln's steamers. Lieut. Benton is a native of Georgetown] S. C., and a gallant and efficient officer.? Nu. Charleston Courier. A Skirmish in East Tennessee.? The KnoxvilTe Register says: Eor some time since it has been known that Capt. Thornburg, of Union County a BtrODg Jjincuiuue, una vecu uigauuiug ? military company for the avowed purpose of aiding in the subjugation of the South. The arrangement* being complete, on Friday last they took up the line of march for Kentucky, to unite with the Lincoln forces there being organized, and to return to their own native section, and re-enact upon the soil of East Tennessee the damnable deeds that bave marked their course in Missouri, Virginia and Maryland. Fortunately, however, a report of their move. ments reached the ears of Lieutenant-Colonel F. M. Walker, in command at Cumberland Gap. Forthwith he dispatched the gallant Captain H. M. Ashby, with a portion of the cavalry under his command, to intercept their passage, and, if possible, arrest the ringleader. They came in contact with Captain Tbornburg and his traitor band of eighty men near Rogers' Gap, in Scott County. They were armed with John Brown pikes, and pistols, Bowieknives, and some few rifles. A surrender was demanded. It was refused, and a charge made upon tbet%, which put the whole party to flight. Several shots were fired, one of which took effect in the neck of C^)tain Tbornburg, checked his locomotion, and forced bim to surrender. Some seven or eight others were captured, bei. ies fourteen horses, twenty-seven pikes, several large knives, pistols, rifles, sachels and saddles. In fact, it was a minature Manassas affair. More Mutiny. Patting together all the reliable intelli genoe we get from Washington, we oannot resist the conviction that the Northern people have no very great stomach for the prosecution of the war. The politicians and army contractors are no doubt as eager as ever; but when four or five regiments mutiny atonce, and are disarmed and disgraced, and many of them put in irons and sent to an island of the ocean for safe keeping, the men cannot be over zealous for fighting. As bearing on this point, showing that the disposition to campaigning is not confined to a few, we copy the followiug from a late New York paper: "There has been some misunderstanding in relation to the term of service of the two years' volunteers, the men claiming that, as but two classes of volunteers were called for?three months and three years ?they properly belonged to that class who enlisted for three months, and their opinions were strengthened by the report that the United States Attorney General had given his opinion to that effect. The following dispatch, from tl^ Secretary ol State to Governor Morgan, settles the whole question: "Washington, Aug. 14, 1861. "To Governor Morgan: "The Attorney Genral has given no sue! opinion. The whole Government holds the troops bound for two years, smd wil discharge none of them. Wm. H. Seward." Movements in East Tennessee Gen. Zolliooffer has issued the following : Brigade Headquarters. Knoxville, - August 18, 1SG1.

A recent letter from one of the largest man ufactures in the East gives the stock of cot ton in New York, Philadelphia and Balti more, all told, at about 9,000 bales whili the stock in Louisville, Cincinnati ant Pittsburg is nearly exhausted. The sanii letter Btates that the best informed Eesteri merchants are of opinion that before sixt; days cotton will be worth twenty cents i pound. Military Election. q We learn (says the Colombia Guardian, s of 31st Aogust) that the first regiment at i. Camp Johnson was organized yeesterday, k by the election of the following officers: Colonel, E. G. M. Dunovant; Lieutenant Colonel, Dixon Barnes; Major, Cadwallader Jones. The following is a list of the names of < the captains of oompanies mustered into the Confederate service yesterday attached to this regiment: Capt. Miller's, of York. Capt. Jones', ? " Capt.

' i From the Santa Fe correspondence of the ] St. Louis Republican, dated the 28th ulti- < mo, we make the annexed interesting ex- ; tracts: < i On the 15th instant, our Southern stage ) was attacked by Apaches on its downward trip, while in camp at Valverde. The I , driver, Jacob Bingerman, was killed, and < Joseph Girrold, conductor, and Olgin and son, rancheros, wounded?the former, it is ] supposed, mortally. ] The mules belonging to the stage com- ( pany were saved, notwithstanding nineteen I i head of horses and two hundred cattle were ] t taken from the same enclosure. The cat- < i tie were subsequently recovered. 1 1 Lively times are expected in the valley i of the Messilla. The North and South, c from present indications, intend trying 1 their strength there. All our disposable f troops either there or on the way, and Tex- c ans are exerting themselves to the utmost a to bring into the field at that point a corres- f responding force. That there will soon be c a collision there no one seems to doubt. a Gov. L. S. Owens, of Arizona, has taken p refuge within the Southern lines. Cap- r tains Jones and Garland, of the Seventh f United States Infantry, have resigned, and a are off ftnj^jkie. They are natives of Vir- p gioia. c ? m<i f Breaking the Blookade. t The blockacB has been broken. It has 0 been broken in the m^^complete and offensive manner that {^rould be broken.? A large merchant ship has traversed the c ocean, and entered a port of the Southern Confederacy without let or hindrance, laden with"arms, ammunition, and other ar- j: tides, beyond all dispute contraband of t war. This vessel was Englistaii^ the j entrance was effected .after tnWiistinct j and^iormal warning of the British minis- j ter & Washington and the precise deda- tl British premeier in Parlia- j mentJSfRat the well authenticated passage of a^flLg vessel through the lines of the { blocBWe of the Southern coast would be j considered cause for pronouncing it legally as well as practically an ineffective and j paner blockade, by which the commerce a of oo nation si bound, and over which eve- ^ ry neutral flag must sail freely to and fro with the cargoes of enemies and of friends. e When the news that the Alliance has t safely entered the port of Beaufort, North Carolina, reaches the British Government, it can scarcely do otherwise than give pub- ] lie notice of the inefficiency and invalidity t of the blockade, and "declare it to be raised t fie facto and <lc jure.?Richmond Examiiner. t The Pawnee again Vanquished.? e On Friday morning last a regiment of N. i Carolina volunteers proceeded to a point on f the Potomac river, known as Pratt's, aod c prepared for the erection of a batterry.? t The piratical craft Paicnee, which had been ^ cruising in the vicinity, discovered the s i preparations, and steering up within half a ( . mile of the shore, opened fire with shell, j ; which was continued for some half hour. ^ I The steamer was fast yetting the range of . ,the Confederate encampment, and threw f one bomb which exploded within a few *>yards of the Confederates, when Captain t Walker made his appearance with a rifled t cannon, and returned the Pawnee's fire 7 t with powerful effect. Lincoln's craft soon | t discovered that her position wa9 unteuable, j > and steamed off with all the speed which j 1 she could command, leaving the Confederates in possession of the point, and where j ere now, we have do doubt, there is a powerful battery prepared to eugage every - steamer with which the Potomac swarms, if any of the hirelings have the temerrity to j give battle. Tbere's nothing like these . "masked batteries" on our water courses. ( ? Lincoln's pirates have an instinctive dread i . of such potent death-dealing agents. ( 1 Petersburg Express. 1 A Warning to Soldiers?The Death ] - Penalty?The Pensacola correspondent j . of the Columbus (Ga) Sun, uuder date of \ 1 August 18, says: j The court uiaitial which has been sitting < - ? * oanofol koo 1 Y Ul UUiTttUUua IUI IUU puoc ocvctui UUJIJJ uuc 1 at last finished its labors. Among the cases < t before the court were one for murder, at | Fort Mcllae, on the day when Gen. Bragg | i gave liberty to the soldiers in honor of the j battle of Manassas, and two for sleeping on i a their posts. One of the latter, a young ( i man of the 10th Mississippi Regiment, (and - I am sorry to hear, au editor,) will be shot - at Warrington, in view of the forces, on f Friday, the 30th instant. The other solt dier, from the fact of his extreme youth i and incxperionoe, has been sentenced to s punishment sixty days, and then drummed s out of camp. r The sentence in the case for murder, to - use a military expression, has not been h "read out." t This looks hard, but it can't be avoided. a Whiskey is believed to bo the foundation. J It is amusing to see some of the delinquents at WarriDgton wearing barrels, (a hole cut in the top aDd the head run through,) and other ornaments, but they are among the _ fortunes of war with some people. Railroad Accident. We understand that an accident occured e on the Charlotte Railroad, yesterday, at 1 Morrison's turn-out. A freight train came e down while the passenger train was stopped a at the turn out. Fortunately, the passen- i j gers had time to escape, so that none were a injured, whilst the passenger cars were all i broken and crushed.?Guardian, Z\st ult. i Retaliation.?Capture op Another Lincoln Steamer.?"We have heretofore reported the capture of the steamei Wm. B. Terry at Paducah by the gun boal Conestoga and an armed force of two hundred and fifty of Lincoln's troops. The crew were put ashore, and the boat with the oargo, which was light, consisting principally of printing paper, taken to Cario as a prize. The Memphis Appeal says the captain and crew of the Terry were not to he so easily outdone, as the sequel proved. According in the afternoon they managed by some means to seize the steamer Samuel Orr, which was a regular packet between Paducah and Evansville, and owned at the latter place. They succeeded in hurrying her up the Tennessee river to Fort Henry, la the Appeal learns, on the Kentucky and renneasee line, where she was safely sejured with a heavy cargo of groceries, conlisting principally of ooffee, bacon, whisky, fee. Her oargo was to be paid for on deivery at Paduoah, a circumstance whioh taddles the loss on the shippers and not the consignees. The Terry is a small boat, and is probibly worth $2000 or $3000. She is said to >e owned by parties in Eastport, Miss.? The Orr is one of the fleetest packets on the river, and with her contents, is a valuable "haul." So the owners of the Terry have lost nothing.?NashviUee Union & American, 25th ult. Stampede among the Printers.?We Ind the following in the Nashville Gazette, )f Thursday last: We understand that a number of the Northern printers engaged at the Southern Methodist Publishing House in this city, ;brew np their situations yesterday, and eave to-day for the other side of Mason & Dixon's line. The Proclamation of Presilent Davis has shown them up in their true ight. Since its publication, they have been n groups upon our street corners, evidently sonsulting in regard to sudden movements, rhey have been holding good situations 'or several years past, contributing, no loubt, lately a portion of their wages to asist in subjugating the people who have - t .t _ _?!? - _ _ i i_i : ea meuij acting, too, prouauiy as spica iu iar midst, communicating sach intelligence 8 has recently been seen in the Northern lapers under the head of "Nashville Corespondence." They would have been perectly willing to have continued at work, nd given us the benefit of their amiable iresence, had it not been for the proclamaion and the "forty days" notice. Let us eel thankful that the proper means have teen adopted to rid the cities of the South f such vampires. From Wilmington N. C. iFPICtAL DETAILS OF THE ENGAGEMENT AT FORT HATTERAS. Richmond, August 30.?Official inteligcnce received here this morning states hat the Ilatteras Battery was taken at 1 A. M., yesterday, (Thursday,) by the Jnitea States forces under Gen. Butler, five hundred and thirty-five prisoners were aken, including Col. Barron and Col. Bradford. Later Hatteras reports says that Forts latteras and Clark, the latter two miles 'forth of the former, were both taken. Our men fought hard and bravely. The oss on our side in killed is supposed to be bout forty, wounded twenty. Another re tort says eighty killed and wounded. The talance of the forces, from six hundred to ight hundred, were taken prisoners. Only en or twelve are said to have escaped. Enforcing the Blockade.?The New fork Journal of Commerce says in regard o the effect of Southern privateering upon he commerce of the North : <iThe shipping interest of New York is tecoming restive under the ravages of pri'ateere, who have already destroyed prop;rty to an incredible amount, and are inflictng losses by driving still heavier freights rom American bottoms to the protection if foreign flags. From a record of captures >y Confederate privateers, carefully kept, ee find that not less than sixty-nine vesels, of all descriptions, have been taken, including eighteen seized in Southern )orts,) the value of which, exclusive of caries, cannot fall short of 31,500,000. Altercations. On Friday last a difficulty occurred in .his District, a few miles South-West of his place, between Jas. F. Ballard and John Crenshaw?brothers-in-law. Ballard jeing armed with an ordinary shotgun, ired at Crenshaw at a distance ,of about iftv vards. one shot taking effect in the ;ye, putting it entirely out. The wound is not regarded, in any other respect, fatal. On Friday night, about ten o'clock, an iltercatiou took place in this town, near the store of Mr Win. Mittag, between the latter and Mr. J. L. Deale, the result of which was that Mittag shot Deale through the lager part of the thigh, with a pistol. The wound, though severe, is not considered dangerous.?Lancaster Ledyer, Any. 28. J5&* We referred, some time ago, to information given by a gentleman from Washington of the frequency and number of resignations in Lincoln's army since the rout at Manassas The Northern accounts exceed even the statements that have been hitherto given us. Since the unhappy date of the 21st July, two hundred and fifty officers in the Federal volunteer regiments have resigned, and of those one hundred and seventy-seven, or more thao two-thirds, are from the very patriotic, brave and exemplary State of New York. Another Fight. Galijpolis, Ohio August 28.?A battle was fought near Summerville on the 26th. The conflict was a bloody one.? Col. Tyler's force of 900 was surrounded while at breakfast. Two hundred of them are missing. After a despearate conflict, they were cut through and scattered. The following are known to be killed among the Federals : Captains Dyer, Shutleff and Sterling, Adjutant L. DeForrest, Lieut. Warren, and Sergeant Major Long. The other field officers are safe. The Confederates are reported as 3,000 strong, including 400 cavalry. Their loss is severe. The Columbia South Carolinian, of 31st August, says "Forty-two infautry companies have already been received, three cavalry companies, and two artillery companies, at the camps of instruction, under the proclamation of the Governor to meet the requisition of the Confederate Government.? This will complete the list for the present, and we are reliably informed that no more can be received except one cavalry company. Arrest op Dr. McBride?Dr. Archi bald A. McBride, a native Carolinian, hat been arrested at Randalsville, N. C., foi ; treason. An autograph letter from a prom inent New York politician was fonnd in hie : posession. Dr. McBride is the same, who, two years since, attempted an examination of the Egyptian Pyramids, and has a wide i reputation for literary talent. Before the war he wrote for the New York press, and, latterly, has Contributed to Confederate literature. Death op Lieut.

That her cargo was said to be worth over million of dollars, consigned to houses in Charleston, S. C.?Charlotte Bulletin. Recruiting in N.

T^HE subscribers hereby notify the _1_ Farmers and Planters of the Southern Confederacy that they arc now establishing a factory for the production of a commercial Fertilizer, which they believe will be found canal to any fertilizer heretofore purchased from the i North. All the Ingredients of the SOUTHERN COMPOUND FERTILIZER are found In abundance In the South, and only require the application of scientific knowledge to make us perfectly Independent of our enemies, even in this particular. Our intention Is to sell our Planters an honest and reliable Fertilizer, peculiarly adopted to our own soil, climate, and crops, and, as fitr as possible, shield them from the gross Impositions so frequently palmed upon them by Nor! thern manure manufacturers. Our Fertilizer contains ail the elements neccssnry.forthe food of plants, being composed of PULVERIZED NIGHT SOIL, POTA8H, DISSOLVED BONES, 8ULPHURIC ACID, PLASTER nnd LIME. The manure thus formed, containing a large per centage of potash nnd other alkaline 1 salts, will render it inraluablc for cotton, and will be found to influence the growth of all other crops sufficiently early In the season, though not quite so promptly as Peruvian Guano. It will hold out longer, and mature the seed perfectly, giving decidedly the best crops, and will show luelf In most instances superior to Guano or many other of the most popular fertilizers. We shall be ready to supply the Fertilizer about the 5th of September. Price, 945 per ton or 3.000 lbs., cash, bankable 1 paper, or Confederate State Bouds. R. M.
