Letter from Prisoner Harris. It will be remembered that a Mr. Harris, who set oat from "Washington in company with a Mr. McGraw, to obtain the remains of Col. Cameron, after the battle of Manassas Plains, was arrested by order of Gen. Beauregard because they sought to evade the ordinary usages of civilized warfare, whioh had been resorted to by the Lincoln Government, for fear of impliedly recognizing the Confederate States as a belligerent power. The New York News of the 27th ultimo, quotes from a letter from Mr. Harris, now in confinement in Richmond, to a friend in that city. He says : I wish that you had been with me in that trip over the battle field; two days after the fight. Rather I wish that those men in the North who have sent forth armies to invade the South, could have witnessed the awful scene. For miles before we reached the scene of combat, dead bodies lay scattered on each side of the road; sometimes singly, then three, or four, or five together. I saw two powerful Zouaves in their full uniform, their corpses swollen with putrefaotion to the size of Falstaff, and blacker than Othello. Close by them lay a fine looking young officer?almost a boy?just breathing his last. He had lain there where he fell, without help or succor, for two days of torture. The Southerners buried their own dead first, but in the meanwhile, and before a dead body was committed to the earth, scouting parties were sent everywhere through the woods, and for miles about, hunting for the wounded of both armies. Tbey behaved with the utmost kindness towards the Federal troops, and the shameful stories of barbarities committed are all '? TV., mnet haVA hppfl itt). IBISC. 1UO Diauguivi uwn m>.v mease. I passed through one small field, where four hundred Northern men were buried that day, and the burying party was still at work by moonlight. We were confined twenty-four hours in the same place with thirty-nine Federal officers ; among them Col. Corcoran. There is no chance for their regaining their freedom till the Government at Washington comes to its senses, and recognizes the Southern Confederacy as a belligerent, as it has oertainly proved itself to be?and a very pugnacious one at that! One of the officers said to me he was tired of fighting lor a government that gave him three chances for death, viz: to be killed in action?to be left to die if wounded?or to be hung in retaliation, if captured; while the only chance for life was to run away from the battle field. I do not doubt these officers will be hung if any hanging happens to the privateersmen of the Sarannnh and other prisoners in the hand of Will fiKp President stickle iUl*. JUIUVV'U. ? t ? ? v - longer upon the miserable dodge that the Confederacy is not belligerent? Will the oomr&des and relatives of the poor fellows here in captivity tolerate this folly ? We are well treated. Beverly Tucker is as kind as a brother. We have nothing to complain of?have a room to ourselves in the jail, and are boarded by the keeper. Nothing wanting but our liberty. War Tax. For the purpose of supporting the Government and paying the principal and interest of the public debt, a war tax has been authorized, and will be levied, of fifty cents on each hundred dollars in value of the foliowiug property in the Confederate States: Real estate of all kinds; Slaves; Merchandize ; Bank stocks; Railroad and other corporation stocks ; Money at interest, or invested by individuals in the purchase of I bills, notes and other securities for money, except the bonds of the Confederate States of America, and cash on hand, or on deposit in bank or elsewhere; Gold watches, gold and silver plate, pianos and pleasure carriages; Provided, however, that where j 41 A U/wairt qKavo nnnmpra. I I me taxiuie yiuycuyr usmu ted, of any head of a family, is of value less than $500, such taxable property shall be exempt from taxation under this Act; and provided further, that the property of colleges and schools, and of charitable and religious corporations or associations, actually used for the purposes for which such colleges, schools, corporations or associations, were created, shall be exempt from taxation under this Act: and provided further, that all public lands and all property owned by a State for public purposes he exempt from taxation. East Tennessee.?The Knoxville Reg- j ister brings some good news from East Ten- j nessee, from which we extract the followThe temperate but firm measures adopted by the civil and military authorities of the State, are having the most happy effect in quieting the excitement of the Union men of East Tennessee, and counteracting the mischief and exposing the wiles of the ambitious demagogues who have so long rankly abased the ears of the masses. A little wholesome restraiut exercised upon these leaders, and the lesson administered to them that "treason will not be tolerated," has bad a magical effect In modifying their views and forcing upon them the conviction that there is no longer a Government at "Washington to which they owe allegiance. I* * O - _ Making a merit of necessity, those of them) who have been arrested have gracefully submitted to the authority of the Confederate States; and so complete has been the conversion of some, that from being clamorous rebellionists and leaders of Lincolnite bands one day, tbey out-vie the next day, even original secessionists in their professions of devotion to the Stars and Bars of the Southern Confederacy, and announce themselves 86 candidates for military or civil office under the new Government. The Programme.?A gentleman of Nashville, Tenn., has received a letter of warning from one of the large cities of Eastern United States, of which the following is an extract : Entrench and fortify all your cities, towns and railroad depots. If the Northern troops are successful next time they will try to march right through the South, carrying everything before them. Look to your ports of entry, for they will try to open them against your wish to England and France. The South has no time to lose. rr,L- vr__4l. fA.fl, n-rnrtinriQ IX Ub XlUXtu is putuu^ iuuu vAvtw bavivwv They will have some 300 guns, 200,000 men, large bodies of cavalry and mounted men. They also expect to perform great things on the Mississippi river. They will resort to all kinds of tricks in the next battle. McClellan is noted for cutting his way through and getting in the rear of his opponent. They talk of shooting all your officers. Let them dress in plain clothes.? They talk of smoking the masked batteries out by firing the woods. Reaction in Kentucky. From the Memphis Appeal, of the 3d inst., we take the following in regard to the state of feeling in Kentuoky: Numbers of gentlemen, who have returned to this city from various parts of Kentucky within the last few days, bring us the most gratifying intelligence of the reactiou which has recently commenced to sweep over that State. We are reliably informed that Lineolniam is doomed for the fatnre among her people everywhere outside of that miserable sink hole of submissionism, Louisville?where traitors like Guthrie, Prentice and Harney hold temporary sway. The Confederate flag is said to be waiving along the railroad line from the Ohio river to the border of Tennessee, and a new-born enthusiasm has suddenly seized upon the people, which promises to very soon consolidate political sentiment in favor of the South. Shouts for the patriot Davis, which a month ago would have been dangerous, now make the welkin ring in every town, county and community, and the cry gains ground, for deliverance from the oppressions of Abolition tyranny. The i<teo nf neutrality sepms nnw to be regarded in the proper aspect, as a myth and an impossibility; and the outrageous excesses of the Lincoln governmentare beginning to open the eyes of all freemen who yet value their liberties and look to their perpetuation. j A better day, we believe, is dawning upon the State of Boone and Clay. The Blockade of East Florida.? A passenger from East Florida, with whom we conversed yesterday, informed us that the whole coast off St. Augustine is blockaded ; but that vessels manage to elude the vigilance of the blockaders. He reports a vessel laden with coffee and fruit, having run the blockade on the 29th ult, under a heavy fire of shot and shell from the fleet. They all fell short of her, however, and did no damage. Some two hours previous to his departure, there had been, off St. Augustine, an exchange of shots between tho flaot. and the Floridians on the coast. The Floridians express themselves as very confident that, with the assistance of their batteries, they can bid defiance to all and auy of Lincoln's invaders. The planters have unanimously determined not to ship a pound of Sea Island cotton, either North or South, for speculation, having pledged their entire orop to the good of the Confederate States. Charleston Courier, 5th. Newibern, N. C., September 6.?All is quiet here. The people are returning to their homes with a feeling of full security. There is no news of any further movement of the enemy on the sound or coast. Our troops have evacuated Beacon Island and troops are being stationed at all important and strategic points. Just as the cars started to-day, a Yankee Captain and five men were broughMiere as prisoners, from Tar River. Thi^ad a schooner freighted with shingles, ready to sail tou sea. The schooner, the Hannah Balch, was freighted by a merchant named Hugh&ijnf this place. These same prisoners wer^brought here a month ago with a prize vessel, and were permitted to go at Inroo nnr>r> narnle. ThfiV Were about tO ? H" ~l r j leave, therefore, under the authority of a citizen of North Carolina. At the time they were taken by the people of Washington, they were engaged in taking soundings of the river. Organize for the Coast.?The CoviDgton (Ga.) Times, of August 29, says: Hon. Judge Floyd returned to this city on last Friday, from Riohmond, where he had been od a visit for the purpose of obtaining a commission to organize a legion of voltigeurs for the service in Virgipia.? The authorities refused to grant a commission for that purpose, from the fact that no more mounted troops will be received from Georgia for the army in Virginia. Judge Floyd says that the authorities advised him to return to Georgia and raise a regiment fnn ^ofonoo Attf nAOflf whlP.h 11 lfl confidently believed by the authorities at Richmond will be menaced by the enemy during the fall and winter. It is the desire of the President and his cabinet that the people of Georgia and South Carolina should organize a force sufficient for this purpose, without interfering with the operations in Virginia. Indiana Speaking Out.?The Cincinnati Gazette, in its correspondence throughout Indiana, has been forced to admit the fact that King Lincoln has not full sway in that State. Also, that the Democracy are aroused to the objects of the struggle, and are speaking out. At Bainbridge, Putnam County, Ind., on the 23d, a grand Democratic rally was made, and 3trong peace resolutions adopted : also resolutions denouncing Abe's unholy war. Hon. A. Johnson, State Senator, and others, addressed the meeting. At Franklin, Ind., a still larger and more enthusiastic meeting was held, and addressed by the Hon. John G. Davis, Thos. A. Hendricks and others. The correspondent of the Gazette admits that these meetings were "calculated to excite opposition to the efforts of Government to suppress" a free people. Northern Treatment of Prisoners. ?A letter from Richmond ssys : I saw a letter from a lady in Washington, in which it is stilted that seventeen Southern prisoners at Carlisle Rarracks, Pennsylvania were made to pick stones? that is, breaking stones with a pick?all day, some with balls and chains to their legs, and others with blocks suspended from their necks. They were whipped at night, and then made to march round the yard to the tune of the Rogue's March. This statement was made by a lieutenant in the Lincoln army, who was stationed there at the time, to the lady who wrote the letter.? He added, that it made his heart sick to witness such inhumanity. More deaths among our Volunteers.?On yesterday morning the bodies of Isaac N. Gaston, John Colvin and Thomas Beattie, of this District?P. P. Darwin of York, and David Smith, of Fairfield ?arrived here in charge of Mr. Julius Mills. Truly our District is called to mourning. Besides those brought on we understand that Wm. Pardue, of the Calhoun Guards, and Monroe Wilkes, of the Chester Guards, have died; also W. Pinokney McLure, formerly of this District, but ?

At a meeting of delegates from the several Banks of Charleston, held at 10 o'clock on Friday, at the Planters and Mechanics' Bank, all the Banks being represented, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, viz: 1. Resolved, That the several Banks in Charleston will continue to reoeive Treasury notes in payment of all dues to themselves, and also on deposit, and will receive payment in the same medium for all paper sent to them for collection ; and they hereby decline all collections for which payment I in Treasury notes is not satisfactory.

In the commercial review of the Houston Telegraph, of the 7th, we find the annexed statement: "We have wheat and corn enough in Texas this year to furnish us with breadstuffs for more than two years. We have made enough wool to clothe half the Confederate States. We shall make fully five hundred thousand bales of cotton with present prospects, and we shall make, un1 ?? ? Pox mnpo than it icaa iuo ui up 19 tujuigu *?* uiyiu ? ? ? ?, appears to be at present, from eight to ten thousand hogsheads of sugar, and quite likely twelve thousand. Texas is in as good a condition as any country need be." This is the condition of every State composing the Southern Confederacy. g&~ A friend and subscriber writing to us from Columbia, Aug. 31, 1&61, inclosing 82 00 for the Star, says: "I hope you will take out all of those northern medical advertisements. I would much rather have a half sheet without than a whole sheet with Northern advertisements." These advertisements of wbioh our friend speaks, have become an eye-sore to many of oar subscribers, and after this issue will be seen no more in our columns. But while we erase these Yankee advertisements, the difficulty of procuring newspaper will compel us to reduce the size of our paper.?Marion Star, 4th inst. ? *> ?? Running the Blockade.?The Manchester correspondent of the New York Tribune says that within the last week ships laden with cotton have reached Liverpool, having run the blockade. It is positively known, this correspondent asserts, that men and money arrived in this country by late steamers to purchase light, quick-sailing craft, that can cross the Atlantic, steal into creeks and rivers, get off again with a few bales of cotton, and all this to convince England and Fraoce that the blockade is nnt pffnetnal. and that it caunot be enfor ced. ?^*The recent wise and salutary law of Congress, confiscating the property of all alien enemies, will affect that unamiable old military peacock Winfield Scott to the extent of several pieces of real estate owned by him in Richmond, which will now bo escheated to the use of the Government.? We call the attention of the people to the fact, that it is made their duty to unkennel all the knaves who, while owning property in the Confederate States, are doing their best to destroy the liberties of the people who inhabit them?Richmond Examiner. Canvass Shoes for the Army.?We learn at the Quartermaster General's De partment, (says the Richmond Examiner,) that there have been received there 5,000 of a new kind of shoes, of a rather curious description, that promises to answer well in the great scarcity of shoe leather. The upper portions of the shoe are made of canvass instead of leather. The can vass is prepared so as to make it impervious to the weather, and is said to equal ip comfort, durability and all respects of wear the best shoe leather. Some Excitement in Maine The Philadelphia Inquirer says : "The people of Belfast, Maine, are greatly agitated by the arrival of a number of boxes in that city from Boston, containing muskets, cartridges, and other munitions of war, which have gone into the hands of about 200 men, who have openly proclaimed their disloyalty to the Government and organized them selves into a company, without any authority from the State, declaring it their object to resist any attempt made to draft any member in their ranks into military service and the payment of war taxes. Salt ! Salt ! Salt !?We are happy to announce tbat the day for salt monopolist aod extortionists is over. The Norfolk Day Booh says: Salt.?We are happy to state that this article is being manufactured among us, and large supplies will soon be placed in the markets. We have examined specimens of this home-made salt and find it exceeds in strength the article heretofore used by us. Business Affiars at the North.? The New York News says the Lowell mills have slopped, and in ten other corporations and towns the mills have stopped, or are working at half or a third time Wool has fallen thirty per cent, in six weeks, which is a loss of 812,000,000 on the clip. The import of dry goods into New York for the week was 8593,305, against 82,446,119 the corresponding week of 1860, and of these imports only 8168,609 were entored for consumption.

On (lit, that merchants from the Confederate States are buying goods freely in England and France, payment conditioned on the safe delivery of the goods this side the waters. Richmond, Sept. 9.?Wm. H. Bird, I formerly of Augusta, Ga., was arrested and jailed yesterday, charged with being a spy. ' Documents found on him show that he was [quite recently a clerk in Lincoln's War I Department, and had passes signed by I Scott, Cameron and others. Richmond, September 3.?One hundred and two prisoners, captured by Gen. Floyd at the battle of the Cross Lanes, near Gauley Bridge, arrived here to-day. Captain ShurtlifFe, one Lieutenat, and four Virginia Unionists are among the number. 100 of the prisoners belong to the Ohio Seventh Regiment. The Blockade.?In the last three months 14 vessels have entered the ports of Charleston and thirty three the port of Wilmington, jn. u. uunng tne same period 8180,000 have been paid the Collector of the Port of New Orleans in duties on goods in spite of the blockade ! The Marion S. C. Star learns that the Rev. D. Legget, has tendered the wool of one hundred sheep to make sooks for the comfort of our soldiers. He has subscribed his entire cotton crop for the support of the Government, and says he is willing to give all he possesses and then volunteer. Washington, September 3.?Advices from Wheeling state that Col. Crossman's two companies of regulars were attacked by 400 Confederates at Worthington, Marion County, Va.

The so called peace party in New York State are in favor of peace only on condition that the Southern "rebels" lay down their arms and submit to the authority of the United States. &3T The Chicago Journal, of the 24th ult., says the Yankee force then in Washington was about 200,000. After the next battle, they will swear they had not more than 40,000 there. JOy The Baltimore Exchange says :? "The Government steamer Harriet Lane is lost, herguus being first thrown overboard." The above was reported at Baltimore by the steamer Louisiana, Capt. Cannon. S&" All suspected persons in Chicago ere required to take the oath of allegiance or leave the city.

They are issued in sums of $50,$100 and $500. An opportunity Is thus afforded every citizen to make a secure and profitable invest niont, while contributing aid to the cause in which the State is engnged. With the view of enabling citizens in any part of the State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the Courts of tin.' several districts have been required to open books 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 made. Engagements for the purchase of Bonds may be made nt the Bank, or any of its Branches.
