" Twas on a cold autumnal night,
A dismal one to view,
Dark clouds obscured fair Venus' light,
And not a star appeared in sight,
As the thick forests through,
Muggins, as usual, "blue,"
Bent homeward, "tacking" left and right;
When all at once he "brought up" right
Against an old dead yew;
At which ho "rounded to,"
And "squarting off" as if to fight,
Said with an oath I shant indite
"?Infernal scoundrel, you!
Light?an' I'll lick you, black or white."
Just then above bim flew
An owl, which on a braenh did light,
A few feet o'er the boozy wight,
And then commenced, To who?
To who?to who?to who?
Quoth Muggins, "don't you think to fright
A fellow ot my weight and height
With your ter who, ter who,
You cussed bugaboo!
An' if you're Belzebub, it's quite
Onnecessary you should light?
For Muggins ain't your due!
For money matters are all right!
The Printer's paid up?honor bright 1"
Thereat the owl withdrew.
And Muggins mizzled too,
But there are other chaps who might
Be caught out late some dismal night,
Who havn't paid what's due!
They know?to who?to who!"

mously adopted by the "Palmer Guards," j
at Lightwood Knot Springs, October 1st,
1861, touching the death of their gallant
comrade, N. C. GOUDELOCK.
Resolved, 1. That whilst we bow with
submission to the dispensation of an infinitely
wise and holy Providence, in removing

we must drop the tear of affection over the
grave of one, who had greatly endeared himself
to us by the generous qualities of his
heart and the manliness of his conduct.
Resolved, 2. That we should be admon
ished by this solemn and affecting dispensa-j
tion, that we too may be called to day or
even the next hour to encounter "the enemy
and therefore we should earnestly seek!
to be ready" for the summons.
Resolved, 3. That a page of the Comn&nv's
Book be dedicated to the memory of
I J ^ ,

At a meeting of the Campbell Rifles,
12th Regiment, S. C. V., held at Camp
Johnson, (Lightwood Knot Spriugs) on
the 24th September, 1861, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
in his inscrutable wisdom, to remove from
ua by death, our highly esteemed and much
lamented friend and fellow-soldier, J. J.
ALEXANDER, it is with sorrow and sadness
of heart that we assemble to give ex.
pression to our loss for the premature demise
of our young friend, and to record our
appreciation of his worth, as a man and
soldier?of him, who was prompt and faithful
in the discharge of duty?who rallied
with eagerness to the standard of his country?whose
career as a soldier, though
brief, gave good earnest for the future ; but
our consolation for that briefness is found
in the remark he made a few hours before
his death, "lie had left home to serve his
country, but God bad ordered it otherwise."
Be it therefore Resolved :
1. That in the death of J. J. Alexander,
the Campbell Rifles have lost a worthy
member, and the Confederacy a gallant soldier.
2. That this company, as a mark of respect
for the memory of our deceased comrade,
we wear the usual badge of mourning
for thirty days, and that a page in our
record book be dedicated to his memory.
3. That we deeply sympathize with the
bereaved family of the deceased, and drop
with them the tear of regret for this afflictive
dispensation.
4. T nat the Secretary furnish a copy of
these proceedings to the family of our deceased
friend, and also a copy of the same
to the Yorkviile Enquirer for publication.

from the Forsythe, Georgia Journal,')
but for prudential reasons, we declineil to
publish it at the time. As the matter has
leaked out at last, however, no further harm
can corue of its republication :
"Several days since an iron-clad steamer.
from Liverpool, with 0,500 rifles and
18 cannon, blankets, and clothing for soldiers,
landed safe at Savannah. The blockading
vessel was not in sight. This is a
new steamer, incased with sheet iron an
inch thick, and is now the property of the
Confederate StaLe6. Our informant
the vessel himself, went on <1e?x, talked
with the captain, who to'o him thst ther?!
were three or four more vessels of the same'
sort on the wavj and as soon as the steamers
could be manned under the Confederate
Government the blockade of Abraham I,
would be blown to the 'four winds.'
"He said that the arrival of this vessel
had caused considerable activity among the
merchants in sending off the coffee, tea,
salt, &c., to country merchants, while these
articles are at a very high figure. He
heard the opinion expressed by some 'knowing
ones' that in less than forty days Rio
coffee could be bought in Savannah at 12 J
cents. Large quantities are stored in Cuba,
awaiting the removal of the blockade."
Memphis, September 27.?The St.
Louis Republican says that twenty pieces
of artillery were captured, by Gen. Price,
at Lexington, besides 5,000 stand of small
arms?perhaps more. The victory of Gen.
Price is said to have been complete and
priHanflc worth the sacrifice which it cost.
Advices from Bowling Green, Ky., on
the 26 are as follows;
Dr. Johnston, State Senator from Paducah,
left Frankfort on Friday night and
made his way to this place under great difficulties.
He says that the feeling at
Frankfort is almost unanimously in favor
of the South. The Northern troops are
committing all manner of depredations in
that portion of the State. The Abolitionists
have about five regiments at and near
Muldrough's Hill, and about 3,000 Home
Gaards at and near Camp Dick Robinson.
But few Kentuckians are enlisting, nearly
all the troops being from Indiana and Ohio.
A gentleman just arrived from Shelby
County Ky., reports that 10,000 Confederates,
commanded by Humphrey Marshall,
had arrived in Olen County. The whole
country in that region is in a blaze of ex
citement. The State tfuards, tuny aruiea
and equipped, are joiDiDg Marshall in great
numbers.
Dr. Jobson says, that a boy 16 years
old, had been shot at Frankfort, for cheering
for Jeff. Davis, and the murderer was
not even arrested.
The Siege of Lexington.
Qcincy, Illinois, (via Nashville,) Sept.
29.?The siege of Lexington, Gen. Mulligan
in command of the town, commenced
on Thursday, the 12th, and continued from
day to day until Friday last, at 5 p. m.,
when the Union flag was hauled down.?
The federalists fought fifty nine hours
without water, aud had only three barrels
of vinegar to quench their thirst. The supply
of water was drawn from the river, but
-tfas cut off after a desperate fight on Wed
nesday.
New Orleans, September 29.?The
Governor issued orders to-day to enforce
the militia law to drill every evening. All
persons refusing or evading will be recorded
on a black list as suspicious aDd enemies
to the South. No home guard will be allowed,
unless foreigners or person over
age. Full authority will be given to compel
the discipline of the court-martial. The
rr.en are to bring such arras as they have.
The Governor officially recommends that
banks and insurance companies close at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and other business
at 3, so that every one can attend
drill.
The fortifications and other military preparations
are progressing vigorously.
This morning, the steamer Niagara and
a sloop are off Pass L'outre Bar. A sloop
lis off the South-east bar, and the steam
frigate Richmond is at anchor off the
I South west Pass, a mile above the pilot
station. The sloop-of-war Vincennces and
steam gun boat Water Witch are at anchor
outside the South-west bar.
Affairs in Kentucky.
Bowling Green, (via Memphis,) September
26.?Pr. Johnson, Senator from
Paducah, left Frankfort on Friday night,
and made his way to this place under great
difficulty. Dr Johnson says the feeling at
j Frankfort is almost unauimous for the'
South. The Federals are committing all
manner of depredatious in that portion of
the State. They have about five regiments
at and near Muldraugh's Hill, and about
three thousand of the Home Guard at aud
near Camp Dick Robinson. But few Keutuckians
are enlisting. Nearly ail the
troops are from Indiana and Ohio.
Advices from Green River to-day state

or Dennison, of Ohio, to send immediately
all companies and parts of compauies, however
small.
The Bowling Green correspondent of the
Union and American writes that the agents
of Lincoln continue to make arrests of
prominent citizens of Louisville. In addition
to those heretofore reported, it is said
that R. Atkinson, A. 0. Brannon and exGovernor
Merriwether have been arrested
and sent out of the State.
Rousseau holds Muldraugh's Hill. The
Federal forces at Louisville and along the
line are holieved not to exceed 4,500.
It is reported, that in reference to appeals
for aid, Lincoln say? the Union men of
Kentucky must fight their own battles, and
be has no troops to send thetn.
Bowling Green is full of citizens of Louisville.
and Hardin, Jefferson and other
counties, fleeing from the lawlessness of the
Lincolnites.
Passengers from Bowling Green ou today's
train say that the arrival at Louisville
of two Iowa regiments is reported?supposed
to be part of those captured at Lexiugton,
Missouri, aud released on parole.
Uoi. rreston is said to De in morgan couuty,
calling upon the Southern uien north of
the Kentucky river to join his cauip, and
that the people in the upper part of the
State arc greatly encouraged by the advance
of the Confederates into the State.
A fight it reported to have taken place
to-day at the fork of the river, but there
are no particulars. Dr. Johnson, says that
J a boy sixteen yea:s old was shot at Franki
fort for cheering for Jeff. Davis. The uiurj
derer was not arrested. Two regiments of
j federals, uuder Cols Hav:kins and Mcilenjry,
retreated from Muddy Fork river to
'Owensboro', and passed uver the Ohio to
j Evansville.

Prom Kentucky.
The Nashville Patriot says the fight at
Barboursville, in Kentucky, was exaggerated
both as to the numbers engaged and the
arms taken. The enemy's force consisted
of about 250 of the Knot county Home
Guards. Their loss was fifteen killed and
two prisoners taken. Forty guns were taken.

the fight.
A bad condition of affairs exists in that
section of Kentucky. The people have been
aroused by the tales of the Lincolnites, and
taken to the woods. They are extremely
hostile, so much so that it is dangerous for
our forces to go about except in considerable
squads. The inhabitants are pursuing
the Indian mode of warfare, and fire on
them.from behind trees, &c., without warning
On Saturday last three Federal gunboats,
from Cairo, bombarded our camp at
Columbus, Kentucky. They fired at a
distance of two miles, and "nobody hurt."
They were feeling for "masked batteries,"
but we did not respond.
The next day a skirmish occurred between
two scouting parties, near Columbus.
The enemy lost six men; we lost one horse.
Both parties are establishing pickets between
the two points, Cairo and Columbus,
and skirmishes will necessarily be of frequent
occurrence.

Appeal of the 24th.?Richmond Enquirer.
Reported Battle in Kentucky.?
We learn from a gentleman, just arrived
from Knoxville, Tennessee, that intelligence
had reached there of an engagement
at Barboursville, Jefferson County, Kentucky,
between 800 Confederates, under
Gen. Zollicoffer, and 1,800 of the enemy.
The result was a complete victory for the
Confederates, with only a trifling loss on
our side. A number of arms were taken
from the Unionists. This intelligence is
confirmed in all its circumstances of locality
and result by a despatch received yesterday
by a clergyman in this city, from his
son in Nashville. Barboursville is about
forty miles from Cumberland Gap.
Richmond Examiner, 23c?.
Port Sumter Anderson in the Field.
Nashville, Sept. 28.?Gen. Robert
AndersoD has assumed the command of
Lincoln's ininions in Kentucky. He says
he comes to enforce, not to make laws, and
protect the property and lives of the people.
Kentucky, he says, has vainly striven to
keep the peace with her neighbors, and failed,
and he calls upon the people to rally to
his standard.
He issued another proclamation, and
says: "Understanding that apprehensions
are entertained by the citizens of the State,
who have heretofore been opposed to tht
policy now adopted, I give notice that no
Kentuckian will be arrested who remains
at home attending to his business, and does
not take part, by act or speech, against the
authority of the Federal or State Governments,
or hold correspondence with, or give
aid and comfort to the enemy."
Latest from Baltimore.?A gentleman
reached this city, last evening, from
Baltimore, which city he left on Saturday
last. He reports that the number of Federal
troops around Baltimore does not exceed
seven or eight thousand. They are
stationed, part at Fort McHenry, part at
nill norf of- r!antnn. and nart at
X' UUUlai XX Lily puiu MV V? J
the Relay, and some at Franklin Square.
The troops who come through from the
North, are in squads of twenty or thirty, for
the purpose of filling up companies, &c.?
The whole number per week is not more
than a few huudred.
The people of Maryland, our informant
declares, only ask lor Beauregard and Johnston
to protect them from the forces around
Washington. Let them cross the Potomac
so as to prevent McClellan from throwing
himself upou Baltimore, and the Marylauders
will do the rest.
The war feeling at the North is said to
ihavc generally subsided. Commerce is
prostrated and business at an end. In
Pennsylvania, particularly, the struggle between
the war and the peace parties is very
(excited.

The news from the South, he says, is
conveyed over the river near Washington,
by the wives of the tories who have fled
from Virginia, and are acting ns Lincoln's
police on the Maryland shore. These women
are strangely allowed to communicate
with their husbands, and thus post them
with the Southern news.?Richmond Enquirer.
Sharp Work on the Potomac.
Richmond, Sept. 26.?The Potomac is
at last closed to the enemy. An engagement
took place to-day which proved the
fact. Two of the United States war vessels
(names unknown) attempted to pass down
the river. When they came opposite to
Evansport, where our heaviest batteries are
planted, a tremendous fire from our Dahl
j i__.i j
| greo guns wassuuueuiy upuueu upuu luuuj.
j Both vessels were disabled at the first discharge,
and put back as quickly as possible.
Our batteries along the whole line of the
lower Potomac are now complete. The
enemy must attack them, so that 90ine
heavy fighting must be looked for in a few
days.
The military telegraph lines are now open
to Dumfries, Brooks' Station, Acquia
Creek, West Point, Williamsburg, Yorktown,
Fairfax Station, Fairfax C. H. and
| Falls' Church.
On some of the lines of the Potomac
the pickets of the two forces are said
to be within three and four hundred yards
of each other. The diversions of such
close neighborhood are various. Occasionally
one of the enemy will show himself,
and his presence be welcomed by a shot.?
| ihere are constant excnanges 01 snouts.?
.You frequently hear a Yankee cry out,
| "d?d rebels," to which our men reply,
; with a shout, "Bull llun " On one or two
I occasion the pickets have met. exchanged
courtesies, and taken a drink together.
Richmond Examiner 22d.
Cotton in Skaports.?Although the
great bulk of the cotton is not in the seaports,
there may be enough in those cities
and in exposed positions on the Western
rivers, to be a great object to the enemy.
The letter from a gun boat commander at
Louisville, to one of the spies lately arested
in New Orleaus, request explicit information
about various Westers rivers, and
how much cotton tncre is on them, and
how much will be made; "for it will be
our aim to take all the cotton on these rivers
and send it up the Ohio." The same I
design is unquestionably entertained with c
respect to exposed positions on the Atlantic c
coast. The campaign will be a regular j
cotton hunt. Orders should be given for ?
an immediate removal of every bale of cot- (
ton from every accessible point in the South, e
or, if this is impossible, it ought to be a
burned ra ther than permit a pound of it to 1
fall into the hands of the enemy; t

From the information which we have re- [

the available forces up the river, are distri- 1
buted as follows: At St. Louis 15,000;
Cape Girardeau, Cairo and Bird's Point,
12,000; Old Fort Jefferson (nine miles a- bove
Columbus), about 10,000 ; Paducah,
10,000 ; Louisville, 5,000. At Jefferson \
City, Mo., there are probably also about 4,- *
000. This is a sum total of fifty-six thous- i
and, which, we think, is not far from a s
true estimate. 1
Expedition against Brunswick, Ga.
Richmond, September 19.?A well in- j
formed gentleman, recently from N. York, ^
gives it as his decided opinion, rrom iacts
and communications well understood in in- :
terested circles there, that Yankee proprietors
of a large interest in Brunswick, Ga., [
have induced Lincoln to fit out a large and i
expensive expedition, with about twenty
thousand men, to take Brunswick, establish
a navy yard, and open a port for the ship- ment
of cotton, naval stores and live oak. c
Sagacious men think there is much reason J
to believe this, as the Federal Government .
is wholly controlled by scbemers and speculators.

President Davis, being applied to, a few n
days since, to discharge from the service
some Mississippi volunteers, under the age of
eighteen years, whose relatives desired j
that they should pursue their collegiate "
studies, remarked that such youths ought _
never to have been mustered into the ser- 1
vice, and that he would gladly order the dis- J
charge of every one whose friends would v
apply for a discharge. He observed, fur- ther,
that this class of young men could J
render the country more effectual service by n<
preparing themselves for future usefulness,
than by volunteering as soldiers. Indeed, said
he, in making soldiers of them, we arc j

Episodes of Life in the Harbor
?orts.?Yesterday afternoon Capt. Yates,
if Fort Moultrie, proposed to Capt. Rhett,
if Fort Sumter, to fire a salute from both
josts, in honor of the establishment of telegraphic
communication between them ?
3apt. Rhett having assented, Capt. Wag:ner
was assigned the duty of firing the
lalute at Sumter. The order to fire given at
?ort Sumter was instantaneously sent over
he wires to Fort Moultrie, and such was
he effect, that the reports of the two sautes

The condition of the country precludes the
possibility of having our Anniversary Fair
or Meeting in November next.
Every cent so liberally contributed to
our Society by the State, or that can be
spared by individuals, will be needed for
the war. Our plantations and farms are
blessed with teeming abundance, far exseeding
many preceeding years, giving the
assurance that our agricultural resources
svill be more than equal to any demand the
axigency may require. Trusting another

Negro men, viz: Bill, Giles and Henry. 55
Ilili and Giles we bought on the 14th of last No- cjl
vember, at the estate sale of Ed. Leech, on Broad Ar.
River, in York District. They being brothers and having
relations in the neighborhood where we purchased them,
it Is more than likely they have made their way back to
their old neighborhood.
Bill is about 26 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, will weigh
150 or 160 pounds ; is very black; rather sharped face,
speaks quick when spoken to.
Giles, his brother, is about 2-1 years old ; 5 feet 9 inches
high ; will weigh 160 pounds, Is very black, and walks with
his head up and feet turned out in front.
Henry, we purchased, January 1, of Col. C. Rives, on
the Catawba river. He is 22 years old, well set, 5 feet 10
inches high, and will weigh 175 pounds ; lias a heavy brow
and speaks slowly ; has somecharacteras a runaway. May
go to Charleston or Washington city j it is hard telling where
he will go as he Is a gentleman of travel.
They all ran off about the same time.

Gins, and has no fear in challenging any other Gin
Factorv to nroduee an equal in performance or speed.?
With good, dry Cotton, the roll in"the gin cannot be broken
nor made to spew over?which cannot be said of any other
gin. His gin also lias advantages and improvements which
no other can have, as these have been regularly patented,
?such as the exclusion of rats from the brush, !ce., by the
peculiar construction of the gin. which no other has a
right to make. He also makes THRASHERS of different
construction to suit the wish of any one; the spike beater
combined, the smooth drum with fingers and no spikes
and different other patterns. He lias also the right of the
celebrated Garlington Thrashers which are very much admired
by every one that has seen or tried them.
Any one wanting a superior Gin or Thrasher can be supplied
by sending ills order to me at Chester C. H., So. Ca.

BANK OF TIIE STATE OF S. C.
CHARLESTON,12th February, 18G1.
THE Legislature having, at its late
session, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the amount
of .*075,000, bearing an interest of seven per cent., for the
purpose of providing tiie funds required to sustain the State
in the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is
now nrciiarcd to dispose of the Bonds. They are issued In
sums of 5o0,.'$100 and $500. An opportunity is thus afforded
every citizen to make a secure and profitable invest
incut, while contributing aid to the cause in which the
State 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
hooks 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 eaclt subscription has been
made. Engagements tor the purchase of Bonds may be
made at the Bank, or any of its Brandies. It is probable
that, at the next session of the Legislature, those parties
who desire it may have their Bonds converted into Stock.
