COURT WEEK.
nf nfhor matters we omitted.
io our last issue, to note proceedings of the
late session of the Court held in this place. I
His Honor Judge Withers presided, and
delivered an interesting and able charge to
Grand Jury, in which he commented upon
the vast change in our political organiza- j
tion. The superior civilization and social |
condition of the South : the order and obedience
to law and regard for Constitutional j
rights; the respect of the military for^fe
civil authorities, and due observance^!
each of their legimate sphej^ Contrasted !
our condition with that of the people ofj
the United States and congratulated the
Jury upon having escaped being subjects]
of Lincoln's dominion.
The case of leading interest was that of
the State rs. Peter Moser, indicted fdflfche J
murder of J. W. Leech. The case was a'
most critical cne for the prisoner, as the;
evidence bore heavily against him. but he
was most ably and successfully.defended by
Messrs. W. B. Wilson and J. B. Smith,
and the Jury returned a verdict "guilty of
manslaughter." He was sentenced to 18
months imprisonment and SI,000 fine.?
The Grand Jury returned a true bill agaiust
Wren and White for killing Blolock, but
the case waR continued. The Defendants
had been admitted to bail. The issue
Docket is a heavy one, but from the absence
of witnesses only a few cases were disposed
of. The Court adjourned on Thursday *

hatred of the North, for the desolation

DESTITUTE FAMILIES.
Mr. Editor:?What is to beootue of the
destitute families of the Volunteers of York
District. The wives and ohildren of poor
laboring men, who nobly came forward in
the hour of their country's need, to assist
in driving back from Southern soil that
fanatical horde, whose motto is "booty and
beauty ?"
The heart of the Southern patriot throbs
with generous emotions of pride and pleasure,
as he reads of the brilliant achievements
of our Southern soldiery, on the field
of battle, in defence of our homes, our institutions
and our sacred liberties. And
we can not restrain the tear of sympathy as
we read of the privation and sufferings of
oar brave Volunteers who are languishing,
and hundreds of them dying in distant hospitals?far
away from kindred, home and
friends?where strange faces watch around
their dying couch, and a stranger's band
closes their dying eyes, and oonsigns them
to their last resting place?a patriot soldier's
honored grave. Shall we who still
enjoy the quiet endearments of home, gather
onr loved ones in comfort around our
hearth stones, and leave the wives and little
ones of these patriot soldiers, some of whom
are amongst us, without the common necessaries
of life, to struggle on in their
poverty, while the husband and father is
in the Confederate army, battling to preserve
our homes from desecration, and our
wives and daughters from a fate worse than
death ?
Mr. Editor, I do not pretend to know
the condition of many of the families of the
Volunteers in York District. But I do
know that some of them are destitute, and
I write this artiole with a view of calling
pnblic attention to the fact, and with the
hope that some system will be adopted for
their relief. A SUBSCRIBER.
The Battle of Leesburg.
Richmond, Oct. 23.?Thomas Jordan,
Assistant Adjutant General, telegraphed
from Centreville, athalf-pa3t lOo'clook last
night, that about 600 prisoners and 1,200
stand of arms were taken in the fight near
Leesburg, on Monday. The enemy's loss
is between 1,000 and 1,200. On the Confederate
side the infantry only were employed.
Our forces engaged were the 8th
Virginia, and the 17th and 18th Mississippi.
The 13th Mississippi was held as a
reserve.
The intelligence from Evansport reports
the recent capture of two schooner* laden
with hay, cement, wood, and other articles,
and the sinking of a federal tug, and other
injuries to federal vessels.
Richmond, Oct. 23.?An intelligent
gentleman ju9t from Washington, says that
Lincoln's forces, in Maryland, Virginia and
the District of Columbia, number 200,000
well equipped men, with the exception of
their cavalry, which are much inferior to
, the Confederate cavalry,
r Several gentlemen engaged in and wit!
nesses of the hattle uear Leesburg, on Monday,
say that the rout of the Federals exceeded
that of Manassas Plains. When
they took to the river, their heads were almost
as thick as swarming blackbirds, and
it was impossible to describe the scene or
estimate how many were drowned. Huu[dreds
were shot while they were swimming
and struggling in the water. Many left
clothing of all kinds. They drowned each
other in their frantic struggles to get be
yond the tire of the Uontederates.
Advance on Manassas?The Richmond
Examiner of Thursday, says :
"Recent articles in the N. York IJerahl
aod Tribune foreshadow a general advance
by Lincoln's forces. These journals are
^usually pretty well informed through their
Washington correspondents of the intentions
of the enemy's Government. When
McDowell moved forward in July last upon
Manassas, it will be remembered that his
movement was positively announced beforehand
by the Tribune, and the number
of his troops given with great accuracy ?
We have reason to believe that our g^ne
rals at Manassas are expecting an immedi
ate attack upon their positions by McClcllan,
and such we have heard is also the ex
pectation of leading officials of the Confederate
Government. We question whether
the enemy will have better luck than he
had at Leesburg the other day.
Movements in Missouri.
Nashville, Oct. 22.?The St. Louis
j Republican of the 17th announces the cap
ture of the federal guard at the Big River
j bridge, on the St. Louis and Ironton rail|road,

(Gen- Jeff. Thompson, thus cutting off coin'

i At last advices Jeff. Thompson was

_ . . ? ??i. The
Hampton Legion.
The Richmond Examiner says:
<lAu addition is to be made tothis gallant
corps of a company of Zouaves, recruiter
in Charleston, and one of its companies, a
"'present in the infantry, will be transferrer
' to the artillery of the Legion. This wil
I: make the Legion consist of eight iofantr
; I companies, and a batalion of artillery
j with a squadron of the finest cavalry in thi
1 army. Two rifle guns of English manufac
- j ture, imported by the Bermuda, have beei
3! obtained by Col. Hampton, making the at
jmament of the Legion, at present, four rifl
guns and four howitzers, with an expecte
r I addition of two 24-pouoders. With its fin
| appointments and famous materiel, th
j Legion is a crack corps in our army on th

Fight and Betreat of Jeff. Thompson.
Memphis, Oct. 27.?The Greenville,
Mo., correspondent of the Appeal, in a
letter dated the 22d, says that Gen. Jeff.
Thompson engaged the federals at Frederiokton,
on Monday, the 21st. Tho enemy
were 5,000, strong; the Confederates
1,300. After several hours' severe fighting
Gen. Thompson retreated, with the
loss of 42. The federal loss is reported at
over 400. They had five rifled oannon.?
Thompson had two common guns. Several
officers on both sides were killed.
Seward Anticipates War with Europe.
Boston, Oct. 15.?Secretary Seward has
addressed a communication to the Governors
of the federal States, intimating that
the European agents of the Confederate
States may involve the United States in a
foreign war, and urges the Governors to
place their coasts in a proper condition of
defence. He considers that the federal
Government will pay its proportional share
of the expenditures necessary for such preparations.
Release of Confederate Prisoners.
Washington, Oct. 15.?The following
order has been issued from the army headquarters
:
Qtafao onlrtiora falrpn nriunners

by the rebels, haviDg been released on taking
an oath not to take op arms against
the Sonth, the Government has orderd an
equal number of prisoners, now confined
in this city and elsewhere, to be released,
on taking the oath of allegiance, or an oath
not to bear arms against the United States."
Richmond, October 28.?No official report
of the battle at Leesburg has yet been
received at the War Department, but Col.
Featherstone, of the 17th Mississippi Regiment,
reports the following prisoners taken
: Total number 726, one pieoe of artillery,
four horses, sixteen hundred s.ands
of arms, and a quantity of clothing. The
Confederate force engaged was fifteen hundred,
while the Federals had at least seven
thousand. The Confederate loss was ooe
hundred and fifty, killed and wounded ; the
Federal loss near one thousand.
Richmond, Oct. 27, 6. P. M.?I have
just obtained, by special express, N. York
papers as late as Wednesday last, Oct. 23d.
These bring us important advices from Europe,
to the 13tb inst.
It is reported that the Chambers of Com
merce of the principal commercial cities of
France, have sent pressing memorials to
the Emperor, urging the expediency of recognizing
the Southern Confederacy and
raising the blockade of the Cotton ports.?
The London News says that this report is
obtained from the most trust-worthy sources,
and further, that the Emperor contemplates
an immediate recognition. The Loudon
Shipping Gazette says that France and
j England must act together, and that their
joint recognition would carry with it an
'amount of weight and moral influence that
i would at once set up the new Confederacy.
Correspondence of the Mercury.
Lord Lyons and Seward.
I Lord Lyons haH written a letter to SeI
ward in relation to the arrest of two British
| subjects, declaring that the arrests were
| made on mere supposition, and uuauthorij
zed bylaw, and a violation of the treaty of i
! amity between England and the United
I States.
Seward answer? that both the subjects
| referred to had been liberated on proof of
jtheir innoccuce of the charges alleged; but
j he claims the right of the Government to
i arrest and imprison any person suspicioned
j during the pending rebellion. Seward's
reply is very wordy.
State Arms.
The adjutant General of the State requests
us to say, that all persons having
State arms of any kind in their possespion.l
are earnestly appealed to, to inform his
office of their location, and to send them in,
addressed to Captain J. P. Thomas, Arsenal,
Columbia.
The State wants arms badly, and a great
many have been distributed to volunteer
companits which have not been returned.

e The Sugar and Molasses Crop.?
e The prospect of the sugar crop, which ii
e expected to exceed 600,000, hogshead, be
ing by far the largest ever produced, ii
causing some question among planters an(
dealers as to what course will most con
(s duce to the interest of all parties concerned
o An address to the planters, in the New Or

it sugars be thrown on the market, inferio
:o qualities being kept for refining; that al
)f the inferior molasses be converted into rum
;o as a domestic spirit will be a paying arti

Cuba and her Captain General.
The Cuban press evince the deepest interest
in the affairs of the American States.
The Havana Gazette explains the position
of the captain general, relative to Confederate
vessels, by the following narrative:
On the 22d of August, the governor of
Matanzas wrote to the captain general, submitting
a communication from the oonsul
of the United States, asking the latter that
be would either compel the sloop Noank,
coming from Charleston, under the Confederate
dag. to recognize bis authority, or
clear from the port of Mantanzas forthwith.
*****
The captain general replied in a long letter
that the sloop having sailed from Charleston,
a port in one of the seceded States,
it was clear that it could not come under
the flag of the Union or be oleared by the
nntlinrif.ipu since ?t that nort thev
, r J
have do existence; that the Sag of the
Southern Confederacy, though not recognized,
has still been tolerated by the Spanish
government?a tolerance based upon
the belligerent conditions of the North and
of the South which is a vita) consequence
of the neutral position of Spain. * * *
The Federal government can prevent the
exit of Southern ships by means of the
blookade, but that fact does not give it a
right to shut our (the Cuban) ports. * *
Wherefore "the sloop Noank must be
cleared with the same flag under which she
entered," as would be the same if she came
from a nation having no consular relations
with us, and the request of the consul, in
the form forwarded to us, cannot be granted.
Our Cotton.?A late number of the
New York Times contains a long letter about
cotton, dated Manchester, Englaod,
September 15 The writer shows how entirely
the world is dependent on the South
for cotton. Here is his lugubrious conclusion:
"What I have written has been in
sorrow, only alleviated by hope that after
all we shall soon have American cotton as
heretofore; that the great rebellion will
be shortly quelled and commerce re-adjusted
to the channels of peace. I meet here no
sympathy for my country; the weight of
my opinion and influence is placed in the
scale against us. The most liberal estimates
give but six months' supply of cotton in
England. A great cloud of impending
woe hangs over this city."
I?" Mr. Lindsay, M. P., in a speech at
Sunderland to his constituents, gave it as
his opinion that the English Government
ought to urge the raising of the American
blockade, and that both England and
France should now consider the expediency
of recognizing the Southern Confederacy.
This speech was received with cheers, together
with some hisses.
Tribute of Eespect.
At a meeting of the "Palmer Guards," assembled at Beaufort,
S. C., October 19th, 1861, the following resolutions
were adopted relative to the death of W. C. PURSELEY.
Rcaolvetl, That whilst we are convened to pay the last
tribute of love and friendship to the memory of our deceased
comrade, W. C. Purseley, we must be permitted to
place upon record our appreciation of a fellow soldier,
whose dally walk and conversation served as a bright example,
and secured for him the respect and confidence of
his company.
Rewlved. That in this sad dispensation, we arc again admonished
of the uncertain tenure of this life, and should
prepare to render ourselves ready to meet the conflict.
Rewired, That we deeply sympathize with the afflicted
parents of our deceased Iriemi, but feel assured that they
do not mourn without comfort.
Resolved, That a blank page upon our Company Book be
dedicated to the memory of the deceased, and that a copy
of these resolutions be furnished the York villi: Enquirer
for publication.

?bifrntrj.
Died?At the residence of S. C. Youngblood, Esq., in
this District, on Tuesday, the 22d instant, Mr. THOMAS
NANCE, in the 56th year of bis age.
Mr. Nance had volunteered his services In defence of the
Confederate States, and as a member of Capt. White's
Company from York, attached to the 6th Regiment, S. C.
V., reached the seat of war in Virginia, on the evening of
the memorable 21?t of July, just in time to hear the shouts
of our victorious army, as they pursued the flying foe.?
Shortly after his arrival in camp, Mr. Nance was attacked
witli measles, which, from the unavoidable exposure to
which he was subjected, were chcckod in dovclopcuicm.
and resulted in so serious a derangement of the viscera and
vital organs generally, as to defy medical relief. Learning
that his ease had become serious, Mr. Youngblood, his
brother-in-law, repaired to Warrenton, where lie lay, and
succeeded in reaching home again with his suffering' friend,
late on the Sabbath evening which preceded his death. The
stranger who reads this will doubtless feel but a common
Interest in what Is recorded thus far, but that which remains
to be told involves an interest personal to every man
who expects to stand before the judgment seat of God.?
Previous to Mr. Nance's departure for the public service,
he had, as many do, yielded his time and energies to the
claims of the present world, whilst lie ventured to neglect
the interests of his soul, and the momentous concerns oi
eternity; and, very probably, had he been suffered to still
walk on in the tenor of a life unvisltcd by the rod of a personal
affliction, he would have filled up the full period oi
his years with the Ingredients of an impenitent life. Hill
He whose ways are past finding out, had, in the riches ol
his grace, better things In store for our friend, and therefore
chose to make the dreary hours of the sufferer's wasting
strength, the ministers of his saving mercy. Constrained
to stand on the brink of the grave, and to "look down Intc
the darkness and corruption of that lonely cell, and thence
! raising his thoughts to the awful eternity into which a feu
swiftly passing days must introduce his spirit, the earnesi
5 and thorough consideration of his condition before Got

" interesting story, we learn, that left to the solitude of hi:
own reflections, he fell on his knees nt the side of his bet
of suffering, and cast hiiuself on the mercy of God in Chris
. for the salvation of his soul. Having yielded himself unre
servedly to the Savior, the evidences of his acceptance ir
Christ, and of the renovating change wrought in his soul hi
the Holy Spirit, were brought home with such power as ti
fill his mind with a peace and joy unspeakable. Thence
forward, he seemed to have no thoughts to waste, nor word
to employ upon any other subject than the love of God li
5 sinners, and the exceeding happiness he felt in the abound
ing mercy of the Saviour to his soul. He said he had bu
- two wishes to gratify in living longer, the one, thathemlgh
show his love to Christ iu publicly professing his name, am
s the other, he thought he might be instrumental In directlnj
1 the attention of some of Ills careless acquaintances am
former associates to the subject of religion ; but aside fron
. these, he felt it far better to be permitted to go now nnd tak'
Ills seat In the "General Conference," as he expressed it.
in the kingdom of glory. Thus sweetly he died, and ha
left the materials of tills sketch, as encouragement to hi
' brethren In Christ, and a beckoning note of invitation to 111
thoughtless and impenitent friends, to make baste and seel
the Saviour ere it be too late. L.

CHARLESTON, 12th February, 1861.
THE Legislature having, at its late
session, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the amount
of ?675,000, bearing an Interest of seven per cent., for the
purpose of providing the funds required to sustain tne State
in the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is
now prepared to dispose of the Bonds. They are issued In
e sums of .?50, ?100 and ?500. An opportunity is thus affort
ded every citizen to make a secure and profitable Invest
n incut, while contributing aid to the cause in which the
State Is engaged. With the view of enabling citizens In
any part ot the State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the
d Courts of the 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 alter each subscription has been
- made! Engagements lor the purchase of Bonds may be
made at the Bank, or any of Its Branches. It Is probable
that, at the next session of the Legislature, those parties
'I who desire It may have their Bonds converted Into Stock.
