On Friday last, the 12th Regiment, f S. C. V.? passed up the Charlotte Kail Road, probably en route for Virginia. Through the enterprising spirit of Mr. President Rose, the running of extra trains enabled many of our good folks to take another parting with their various relatives at Chester, who com; ose a goodly portion of the Regiment, now under. Lieut. Colonel Barnes. They looked well and were in good spirits^ comprising more of the young men of the country than we had expected to ysee. Chester presented a busy scene for the brief hour, and even now the cheers that followed the departing train, seem lingering on our ears, as perhaps they are wringing many hearts?tho', we trust, the gallant boys know that many a prayer has, in private, ascended for their welfare, and every heart beats for their speedy return to family and friends. Movements of the Military in every direction are now the order of the day ? '1 ri ? r.

Y i Meeting of Bethel Presbytery. ] ^Phis body, because of high waters, 3 met at Fairfield Church, in Union District, on Saturday, 19th instant, instead ? of 18th, as previously appointed. There were eighteen members pre- j sent, ten of whom were ruling Elders, i Rev. James E. White was chosen 1 Moderator, and Rev. Jno. S. Harris, 1 temporary Clerk. J The preaching on the occasion was j done by the candidates for the ministry, < except on the Sabbath, when the Mod- 1 erator and Rev. H. R. Dickson preach- ! ed to a large and attentive congregation, j Messrs. G. R. Brackett, R. L. Douglass and Jno. F. Watson, candidates under the care of the Presbytery, were ( examined and submitted their trial ( pieces, and were licensed to preach the ] Gospel. i Two of these young men have it in 1 - < view to enter tne army, meuiue capauuy. A touching tribute to the memory of ] Rev. J. M. H. Adams was adopted, < and Rev. J. E. White appointed to f preach, at the Autumnal Meeting, a j memorial discourse relative to our de: ceased brother. ^ Rev. J. II. Saye was appointed to preach next spring, upon a "Seculari- ] led Ministry." 1 Rev. J. M. Anderson, re-appoir.ted ! to preach the Doctrinal Sermon next ( Fall, on "Efficacious Grace." i Rev. J. M.

Allison were appointed Trustees 1 of Davidson College. The class of ] Trustees in Yorkville Female College, ; whose term of office now expires, were re-elected, and Maj. J. G. Lowry appointed in place of Rev. J. M. H. Adams, deceased. Committees of Ministers and Elders were appointed to attend the examinations in the Yorkville Female College, and the Theological Seminary, Columbia, S. C. From the reports of Churches it was apparent, that whilst there were en ? ? +A motiTr tVinrn la COUraglllg ilUUCaBlUilD W lUOlljr, kllvi V IB much interruption in the operations of the benevolent and financial schemes of the churches; very many members and several officers absent in the army, and five of our best Elders have been called to their rest during the last eight months. It was cheering to hear from every church, that so soon as God may relieve the country of the exciting troubles, each Church would address itself to new efforts in the great aggressive work committed to it by the Divine Master. Rev. A. A. James, Pastor of two churches in Union District, is Chaplain in the 18th Regiment, S. C. V., (Col. Gadberry). His churches are to be supplied, this year, by Licentiate Henry Banks, of Arkansas. The following supplies were ordered for the next six months : Sacramental Meetings to be held, at discretion, at Bullock's Creek Church, by Rev. J. E. White ; at Cane Creek Church, by Rev. S: W. Erwin; at Grindal Shoals' Church, by Rev. Wm. Banks; at Salem Church, by Rev. J A. Davies; at Unionville Church, b; Rev. Jno. S. Harris; at Six Mill Creel Church, by Rev. J. R.

Bethel Church and Wednesday be fore the 1st Sabbath in October nexl were chosen as the next place and tim of meeting. REPORTER. ' FROM NEW ORLEANS. The newspaper despatches come t us in so detached a manner, that w can only make a summary of the move mpnts on the Mississinni since our las issue, to the latest dates. Nsw Orleans, April 23.?The fol lowing is the official dispatch from Maj Gen. Lovell to Brig. Gen. Duncan commanding at Fort Jackson : Say to the officers and men that thei heroic fortitude, during one of the mos terrific bombardments ever known, an< the courageous skill with which the; crush the enemy whenever he dare come from under his cover, attract thi admiration of all, and will be recorde< in history as a splendid example foi patriots and soldiers. Anxious bu confident families and friends are watch ing them with firm reliance, based on i gallant exhibition thus far made of ai indomitable courage and good military skill. The enemy will try your poweri }f endurance, but we believe with n< better success than that already expe rienced. M. LOVELL, Major-General Commanding. Gen. Duncan's reply to Maj. Gen Lovell runs thus: I have to report this morning tha :he same bombardment is still going or furiously. They kept it up furiousb by reliefs of their divisions. One o their three-masted gun-boats, paintec grey, came above the Point this mor aing, but was struck and retired. W< ire hopeful and in good spirits, and J iannot speak in too high praise of al the officers and men. No further cas laities to report. Let the people hav< faith and fortitude and we will not dis grace them. J. K. DUNCAN, Brigadier-General. Mobile, April 25.?The enemy pass id Fort Jackson at four o'clock on yes ;erday morning. When the news reach id New Orleans the excitement was soundless. Martial law was put in ful force, and business was completely sus pended. All cotton steamboats, ex iepting such as were necessary to trans port coin, ammunition, &c., were des ;royed. At one o'clock to-day the tel igraph operators bade us good-bye saying the enemy had appeared befor< ;he city, and this is the last we hav< beard from the Crescent City. Richmond, April 27.?Official dis patches were received this morning tVin.t. t-.Vip Anpmv's Aaa*. an proached New Orleans and demandec its surrender. Gen. Lovell refused t< surrender, but evacuated the city witl bis troops, falling back to Camp Moore jn the Jackson Railroad, after he hac destroyed the cotton and public proper ty which he was unable to remove. Th< new iron clad steamer Mississippi wai burnt, to prevent her falling into th< possession of the enemy. Nothing ii 3aid about the Louisiana. Mobile, April 27.?The Latest.The Commodore promised the Mayor'i Secretary, who visited the fleet under i Hag of truce, to make a renewed de mand, but he has not done so up to this hour?5 o'clock, p. m. ' Our ship McRae came up from th< forts under a flag of truce with fortj wounded. She communicated with th< Federal flag ship. Result unknown. I is rumored that the Federals refused t< let her returnThe Foreign Legion are keepinj guard over the city and preservinj order. It is rumored that Fort Pike has beei evacuated and blown up. This is con sidered unreliable. In a conference held between one o the Federal officers after the corree pondence between Mayor Monroe am Commander Farragut, the officer left declaring that he would shoot down th flag on the City Hall, if it was no hauled down. He actually brought hi ships in range, but has not fired a she thus far. It is reported that a French and Er glish man-of-war below have entered protest against shelling the city. It is believed that the Yankee vessel are short of both provisions and ammi nition. We are in danger of starva tion here ourselves. The city is r( markably orderly, but the excitemen is intense, and the feeling of humilis tion deep. Further than this everj thing is the same as when the vessel first appeared. All are awaiting shelling of the city, if the Yankee dare do so. Richmond, April 28.?The folio* ing official dispatch was received thi morning by Adjutant General Coope from Gen. Lovell: Camp Moore, April 27.?Fort Jackson and St. Phillip are still i: good condition and in our hands. The steamers Louisiana and McRa are safe. The enemy's fleet are at the city, y hut have not force sufficient to occupy it l The inhabitants are staunchly loyal. Mobile, April 28.?The forts or y Lake Ponchartrain had all been evacu ated on the 25th. There has been con s siderable loss in supplies and dismount ing (not destroying) guns at Fort Pike and all the buildings were burned, in eluding the telegraph office. An ope rator has gone to Limits City to opei - an office there if possible. All the gun [. boats on the Lake have been burned e our people. The Mobile boats White man, Brown, and another, name un J> known, with several others, are remo > ving troops, stores and ordnance, t< d Manahoc, after which we fear they wil e also be burned. The Yankee fleet of Ship Island have again returned to tha station. IHM ?, Tribute of Bespeot. >- At a meeting of Company E, 17tl ?, Regiment S. C. V., of which L. P. Sad ler was called to the Chair, and N.

Brave and unflinching, he nevei 0 shrank from duty however hazardous? e with a heart as tender as that of t !_ woman's, the cares of those arounc t him ever met with a ready response and a sympathy that was sure to cal for his every exertion to alleviate theii 1- suffering.

SADLER, t Chairman. i Lieut. N. C. Kuykendal, Secr'y. j f Complaints of Governor and Council. I From numerous inquiries, we are . satisfied that the public mind is so afj fected by the action of this body as tc [ demand an expression of its opinions. 1 The resolutions adopted by the Districl . of Edgefield, and which we published ; in our last issue, have touched a deep . and extended chord in the popular bosom. So wide, its vibrations, and, full the endorsement of the sentiments of . that meeting, that we have been made . to feel by letters and personal inter. course, that an error was committed bj 5 our Convention in nullifying our Gov1 ernor, and passing unnoticed the con. duct and extortion of speculators and . extortioners. If the Convention cho. sen to perform a special, political act, . see proper to increase the Executive . power of the State, and enlarge ad int finitum its powers so as to capacitate that department for extraordinary legislation, it (the Convention) should reassemble and direct its legislative officers to look after the extorting manufacturer, and wicked speculator, be he merchant, farmer or mechanic, or commit suicide. The last act would doubtless be hailed with greater pleasure than any of their extra judicial achievements. 1 One thing is certain, a fever is spread. ing in the public mind, and unless it it 3 rebuked by wise legislation, there will 3 be an outburst of furor such as has g never been witnessed in this fair land, 3 Yarn and cloth must be had?coi n must be kept at home, except when deman ded by tEe uses of the Government? 3 leather for shoes cannot be dispensed i with?all the prominent and absolute . necessaries of life, if sold, must bring a s fixed and unwavering price.

From the Charleston Courier. ? Messrs. Editors:?Is there any good ? reason now why we should not returr to our old Constitutional Government \ a Whether our affairs were in so perilous a condition, that less than a despotic power would be insufficient for our pro f tection is very doubtful.

A Member of Convention. Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. The Battle of the Dismal Swamp. 1 In this war of big battles, it is well to j i notice closely what may be done by a 1 few determined men, even when oppo- J sed by apparently overwhelming odds. 1 The fight made by the Third Georgia 1 Regiment on Saturday last, near South < Mills, on Sawyer's farm, in Pasquotank 1 county, North Carolina, is calculated to .inspire all our troops with fresh courage. For five hours this regiment, commanded by the gallant Col. Wright, j and aided by McComas' battery of light 1 artillery, fought five regiments of the Federals, with three pieces of artillery, ' ) and finally drove them to their boats. ' 1 T have visited the battle around. and i F the furrowed earth, the torn trees, the t wounded and dead, attest the hard fighting done on this field. Our success is largely attributable to the admirable 1 position selected by Col. Wright, and i to the splendid fighting of McComas' 1 . battery. Alas for our country, that ; she should lose the life and- services of such a gallant soldier as McComas at 1 " such a crisis in our (affairs! But he - died on the field of battle, and in the : thickest of the fight?a fitting death 1 bed for such a patriot. } The prisoners are coming in, and tell l the objects of the expedition. It was to capture the Third Georgia regiment, j and to blow up the locks on the Dismal . Swamp. They did neither, but lost the k Adjutant of the brigade, fifteen officers severely wounded, many men killed, | and a number taken prisoners. ^ We took fifteen hundred pounds of k coarse cannon powder, with which they intended to blow up the locks on the r Canal. The enemy's artillery was very . badly served, and if this is the best they 1 t can do, we have but little to fear from , 1 them. Their forces were led by Gen. Reno, who had with him, amongst oth- ! | ers, Col. Hawkins, of the New York , Fire Zouaves, and Col. Faircl?ld. ! Georgia may well be proud in send[ ing such soldiers as compose the Third 1 Georgia Regiment to the field. In this ' [ command tliey have been called the [ "Fighting Third," but I did not be- 1 5 lieve it was in the nerves of man to j stand such a storm of shot and shell as ] . was rained upon them for five hours. ; , Let all our troops go and do likewise. ^ SWAMP FOX. j Salt?What Shall we do to get it. , The public journals are discussing " this question, and the people are as- < " sembling in county meetings, making < speeches and passing resolutions about 1 [ the matter. Some propose the imme- i diate calling together of the Legisla- ( ture by the Governor, to provide some | 1 means by which to supply our people 1 with salt. 1 We have heretofore given our opin- j ion as to the best method of getting t ' salt to save our meat next winter, ana ' supply us otherwise. The opinion has < been endorsed by several leading jour- t nals in this State and South Carolina, < and we again urge it. ( | Let Georgia and South Carolina unite their forces and furnish the means. Let salt works upon a scale large e- ? nough to make 10,000 bushels a day ; be established upon our coast, and let i J from ten to twenty thousand men be i stationed at the point to guard them.? i This is the only chance we see. < | Nothing less than making 20,000 < . bushels per day will supply the people i [ of the Confederate States. Our peo- < pie use that much every day, upon an 1 'r average. This would only be a toler- 1 able supply. In order to make it a- 1 ' bundant, there must be made not less 1 | than 30,000 bushels a day, the year J round, as long as this war and the ] blockade last. i [ If Georgia and South Carolina can i ' make 10,000 bushels a day, it will be [ their share of the work. It will sup' ply both these States and all Eastern and Middle Tennessee and North Caro' lina. Virginia can supply herself with her own springs. Texas can supply ~ -herself from her salt lakes with but lit- 1 tie trouble. Louisiana is manufactur- 1 ing it, and can supply that State and 1 [ Arkansas. Then Alabama and Missisippi can unite and make enough for , these two States and West Tennessee. ' This is our plan for making salt. Let . " this, or some other, be adopted at once. . 1 ?Atlanta Commonwealth. , [ . .? - i Railroad Accident. i Yesterday morning, about 5J o'clock, ] ! the night train from Charleston met < ' with a serious accident a few miles be- < low Columbia?though, we are pleased < ^ to say, there was no loss of life. From \ > the accidental breaking of a chair on i the track, two of the cars of the train < \ were thrown off and one of them turned i ! over. Filled with passengers, it is sur- j prising the causalties were not more i s and that none were killed. The inju- 1 [ ries in some of the cases are severe, 1 but we believe do not endanger life.? < The sufferers were brought to the city 1 and received the immediate attention j [ of several of our surgeons. The fol- < t lowing is a list of most of the cases: 1 > Col. A. P. Aldrich, of Gen. Gregg's i } staff, had a dislocation of the right 1 . shoulder joint; Mr. Hopkinson, of Ed- j ' isto, left arm broken; Hon. J. L. Sew{ ard, of Georgia, had the point of the > left elbow broken and a cut on the fore- 1 [ head; Hon. A. R. Wright, of Georgia, had a cut on the face and forehead 1 p bruised; Mr. L. W. Spratt was much 1 t bruised, but not seriously; Mr. W. A. ( , Courtenay bruised slightly; Gen. M. ( j Gregg very slightly; Mr. James Champ bers was stunned and for some time was r much prostrated, but is doing well; j Mr. Davidson, of Charlotte, N. C., had } his face cut and hips bruised; Mr. R. 1 A. Springs had a cut on his head, but 1 [ was able to go on home; Mrs. J. A. Le- 1 3 land had a severe cut on her head; and 3 her son, 2? years old, had a very se- ! I vere cut on the face ; Mr. John Ingalls t received several cuts. There were some others bruised, but we think the above ' comprise the principal cases. Carolinian, 2Qth ult ' i From the West.

Partizan Rangers.?We publish, this morning, the recent Act of Con- # gress, authorizing the raising and a bringing into service, bands of partizan t rangers.

Armament Stores and other Property Captured with Fort Pulaski. , ?As a matter of public interest, we ( annex a list of the armament and other ; property captured by the enemy with , Fort Pulaski. The commissary stores ] embrace only such as are estimated to have been on hand at the date of the ( surrender. We would express our ob- ( ligations to the Ordnance and Commis sary officers of the department for the ( estimates given: ( Armament of the Fort.?Five 10-inch ( columbiads; 9 8-inch columbiads; 3 22- , pounder guns ; 20 32-pounder guns; 2 ] 1-inch rifle guns, imported, English; 1 . 24-pounder flank casemate howitzer; 1 j 12-pounder mountain howitzer; 2 12- j pounder field howitzers; 112-inch mor- ] tars; 400 stand of small arms with ac- ^ joutrements. ?

Reported Death of Gen. Buell. t ?The evidence of the death of General ( Buell is circumstantial, but admits not j of a reasonable doubt. Among the ^ prisoners taken by uswasMr.Doolittle, t of Wisconsin, a former member of the ? old United States Congress, who was accompanying the army in the capaci- < ty of chaplain of one of the regiments. g He declares that Buell was killed, r which is the concurrent testimony of all the prisoners who have said anything on the subject. On the second day af- i ter the Pittsburg battle a flag of truce t was sent into the enemy's lines by Gen- i eral Beauregard with reference to the ? burial of the dead on the battle field, ? which was replied to by General Grant, who would not have been authorized to ? -1 \.'..I ifii. : i treat on tne suoject n me semui geue- 1 ral in command (Buell) had not fallen ? in the action.?Richmond Examiner, i Commuted.?We learn that the sen- * tence against D.

I ? Our Beleaguered Capital. The enemy is pressing on with vast aid splendidly appointed armies to he capture of RichmoncL McClellan ias promised to his people the speedy all of the rebel Capital, and the North low regards the event as a foregone contusion. What military measures have ieen taken by our Generals to avert so ;reat a calamity, it behooves us not to lay; but we may mention that General !jee,Gen. Johnston and Gen. Randolph, he Secretary of War, concur in the sonfident belief that we shall certainly ieat the invading armies in Virginia, md that Richmond cannot be taken. jVe have this encouraging statement rom high authority. Extortioners. Some one has said: "All men think hat men are mortal except themselves." PTrrw t.rnp in this in reference to extor iion ? All men think all men extortionjrs but themselves ! and what is more emarkable, some persons in the innocence of their verdancy, think, or pre;end to think, there is no sin in extor;ion?that only a few editors and others have declared it to be sinful. They ibrget that in the Holy Book?the Book of Books?extortioners are classed with murderers, adulturers and liars, md not with common sinners. Think )f this, ye church members, who are jelling articles at one hundred times cheir value, and are thus preying upon the life-blood of the people, ana seriDusly jeopardizing the liberties of the country. Cotton Yarns.?The Carolina Spartan, referring to late quotations of prises, asked at the Cotton factories of Dan'l McCullough, near Rocky Mount, md J. Stark Simms, on Pacolet, remarks : j For some cause, the ruling rates of cotton yarn in Spartanburg is nearly) iouble the price we have quoted above. We have eight factories within a half lay's ride of our Court House, and five cf them in this district, and they all continue a price, set upon it by the demand. Sheetings and shirtings are more than double the price of 1861, md Cotton higher than it is now.
