The Mississippi papers seem greatly exercised as to the retention in servioe of their militia, something after the fashion of our late Reserves, as inefficient, because it is notorious that militia in camps are uniformly undisciplined, uoder the command of officers, for the most part, unskilled in tactics, and that disorganization and a want of confidence mark the arrangement; and, because it takes from their homes, a considerable number of men post the age of 40, unfit, for the most part, for camp hardships snd exposures. The Memphis Appeait at present pub J Jisbed in Mississippi, remaras mat ?io starve oat the Soath has been u favorite idea with the Yankees, since the inauguration of the war, but it could hardly ever have been supposed that we should be guilty of the suicidal policy of assisting theni in this method of our subjugation. That Mississippi is doing this under the operation of her present militia system, we think there can be no donbt. It is drawing hundreds, not to say thousands, of the tillers of the soil from their legitimate field of labor, whereby the farming produce of the State will be cut alarmingly short." Again, we have the following from the Crisis, on the same subject, which is worthy The Ulississippiun lias a correspondent who takes hold of the war in another matter of fact way, though his object is supplies of meu, and rnakiDg provisions for them. Hear him: "The soldier who has been maimed in the battles of his oounfcry, is certainly still entitled to the honor of continuing a soldier in our glorious cause, and to the paltry sum of ?11 per month, as long as the war r lasts?aye, as long as he lives. The patr riots of the land, who by exposure, have 1 been incapacitated for held service, may be r very profitably employed as nurses, stewards ' and clerks of hospitals?as weighers, ser1 geants abd clerks, in the post commissary ' and quartermaster's departments. Nobody ! would be very sorry to see the hosts of ablebodied, lazy, sleek employees of these departments, put in the field, and placed in the front rank of the next battle for independence. ' Those who have bought substitutes?who , have measured their patriotism by theii ' purse?who have their mouey out fighting ; for them, while they themselves remain at < home, eating mush and milk, without any danger of bullets?are too contemptible to 1 merit notice in this connection. But in conclusion, though somewhat intimidated by their high official dignity and lofty position, I will touch slightly upon I the most numerous, the most important, and r the most shameful class of exempts from ' conscription. I allude, of course, to the > present incumbents of the civil offices , throughout all the States of the Confede' racy, who are between the ages of eighteen . and forty. In times of great tribulation, it was scriptural for all old men of Israel, to take counsel together for the good of the nation. Let vozjpojmh conform to vox dei. Let the unanimous voice of the people de oree, that henceforward, during this war; that every single office within the gift ol the people, can, and must be filled, and wili be filled, by men who are over forty years of age. Can any man in future, satisfy the inquiries of his children by telling them that the reason why their father was not in the war for independence, was, that he was a member of the board of police, or the keeper of a post office 1 But when the ? voice of the people forces all the youn^ J men out of the civil offices, and into the conscript ranks, we will soon have in the field from every State, a legion, of disappointed office holders. I have never yet been very aspiring for position or office, but I mast confess that I have an inordinate desire to command a legion of disappointed ex-statesmen. Should I ever he so fortunate as to be assigned to a well organized command of this kind, I should, from pure philanthropic motives, immediately warn the Yankees to stand from under." From the Confederate Baptist. It would seem almost useless to reason with the extortioner. But we copy the following from an exchange, with the hope that it may meet his eye and excite "compnnctious visitings A Fearful Curse?David, in the 109th Psalm, in pronouncing a fearfal ooree fho ononiw nrhr? hnif <<f*nmnftflflf>d him UJJUU VUU KUW ??.?. without cause," amoDg other things, says : "Let the extortioner catch all that he hath!" Just think of the hopeless condition of a man who had these human vultures turned loose upon him, with permission to "catch ali that he hath !" We have sometimes, hoped and prayed that this war would speedily end, not bocause we distrust the prowess of Southern arms, or the fortitude of our self-denying soldiery, but from the apprehension that human nature might fail before the assaults of heartless extortioners. When the wife, weeping over the body of the martyred husband looks with anguish upon her famishing children, and asks in despair, how she shall support them, while bread and meat are at extortionate prices; when the husband, in his distant camp, learns that they whose homes he is defending are conspiring to starve his family, we fear that his own indignation and the curse of a righteous God may present insurmountable obstacles to the achievement of our independence. Selfishness has gained the ascendency among oijr people. The farmer withholds his corn, the merchant quadruples his "profits, the importer looks only to his aggrandisement, the butcher forestalls the market?every man is intent upon wealth; and legislation has proved inoompetent to arrest the greed of gain. God help us, for vain is the help of man. The experience of the world is apt to impress us with a conviction of its utter selfishness. Happy is he who can look upon the bright side of human nature, and retain his faith in its generous impulses.? As David, when stuDg by the treachery of his professed friends, said in his haste, "All men are liars," so we are too apt to identify individual specimens of selfishness, with the characteristics of mankind. The genial editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, even in these times of extortion and robbery, retains his faith in human benevolence : There are some dear good people in this world, as much as that ancient establishment is now and then abased?some who seem to realize the saored old text : "it is more blessed to give than to receive j" some who know how to distribute of the abundance in such kindly fashion as to awaken good thoughts and good seatiments into newness of life, where a callous philosophy was perhaps beginning to instill too cold an estimate of human worth. With the new year these kindnesses have doubtless visited many of our readers, as they have us.? From one, two, three directions, we have felt their balmy, genial influences, and hereby acknowledge them most thankfully.? J There arc good people in this world, let who will, say nay. / The same editor thus describes a pest of society : "Dominus Do-All."?This gentleman interferes with all sorts of enterprises, social, religious, political and military. He is a perfect Marplot, unless he has the biggest finger in every pie ; and if he can't be Dominus Do-All, he straightway becomes Puppibus Do-Nothing. The abominable fellow ought to be "put out." Let every man do what he can, and help and encourage others to do the same. Dominus DoAll is the prurient offspring of Modem Selji&lincss, Esq., and has the wit to comprehend Beveral propositions of his own creation, but studiously shuts his eyes to the only one, a fair consideration of which might benefit both himself and the public, viz: that he is a jackass of the first water, a citizen of the lowest type, and a patriot of infinitesimally diminutive proportions. Where is Fort McAllister??Off the Georgia coast, and eighteen miles to the Southward of the Savannah river, in 1 Orsabaw Sound. Into this Sound flows the Ogeechee river, a stream navigable 1 some distance up?some thirty miles?to ' vessels of a larger class. On the Ogeechee r river four miles above the Sound, is situa1 ted Fort McAllister. The Fort stands ou the mainland, direotly on the river bank, and commands the river for a mile and a ' half or two miles. The country for Be\eral 1 miles along the Ogeechee, as is almost the ' universal case on the Southern coast, is but 1 an extensive marsh, crossed and re-crossed ! | by innumerable little creeks and inlets con\ n a/iin/] i Vi a tvinm f fwrta m G a?? a iU a ucuicu niLU tuc tuaiu olicuui. uuiuc ui tiic j Islands formed by these creeks and inlets I ! arc large, and contain large plantations, but i i while there is one of these, there arc bun* i : dreds of others mere marshes. To the ! I Northward of the Big Ogeechee, and coni uected with many numerous creeks, are , two more considerable streams, called the i j Little Ogeechee and Vernon rivers, on each f | of which are said to be strong batteries. !; Richmond Examiner. i !! Pretty Good.?A waggish corresponII dent of the Atlanta Intelligencer gives the 1 following amusing version of the manner in j j which Pocotaligo, S. C., received its name: \! "One day some of the early settlers on the i sound caught a turtle and were trying to ; drive him homeward, but they made slow ) progress with the zigzag looomotion creature. I of attention: "Now, we are all alike interested in the question of supplying our army. Failing in this, we are lost. Every farthing of property now held and enjoyed under the protection of law, would be stolen, robbed, burnt, destroyed, or carried away. All the people of Mississippi have is at stake.? Their homes, families, liberties, firesides, altar-places, and life-blood, are at stake.? The army must le fed ! Paramount to all other questions, to all other interests, public or private, for the ultimate preservation of all real, or supposed individual rights, first, last, the army must be fed 1 Write it down?proclaim it?accept it?not upon it ?conform to it?the army must be fed !? There is produce enough in the country to feed the army and the people. But these, products are in the hands of private citizens. They may sell, or they may refuse to sell. They may require seventy cents a pound for bacon, or seventy dollars a pound for the same commodity. They can either starve the army, or bankrupt the government.?

Prices ought to be reasonable and remunerative and uniform. Within these conditions, it may become necessary as a condition of the public safety, for the commander of this department to order the impressment of necessary supplies, referring the question of compensation to a disinterested tribunal. If this becomes necessary, either through the illiberality of holders, or as the result of circumstances, uncontrolable by the commander, wc shall not only sustaiu him in such action, but shall regard it an imperative duty and a merit in action. It matters not what kind of property may be required, the property wrust be defended and saved from the butchery now desolatiug the fields and homes of Arkansas, Missouri, and other portions of the couutry. We beg to commend this subject to the pross." At this jnnotnre, some of the shore Indians came up with the party, and said to one of the drivers, poke Tie tail lie. go ; referring 1 to an excellent method of pushing the var- b mint aloDg. They followed the native's k advice, and fonnd it succeeded admirably ; s with which result they were so much pleased tl that they called the place as nearly the sen- tl tence as possible, but .it has gradually, in o the wear of centuries, come down to a plain f compound word, to wit: Poootaligo." o ? :? ^ From tlio Charleston Courier. Magnetic Iron Works of So. Carolina. \ These fine works, situated on Broad ? River at Cherokee Ford, being now in full o blast, present a busy and cheerful scene. c The property consists of upwards of ten * thousand acres of land, abounding in rich j magnetic, hermatite and limonite iron ores. ? The works on Brda<f River consist of:? ii Vitrrti fnrnonAt f r>nM hlnnhV nn? nnd. I ??.? -- J V.?? /; -? l ^ ding oven*, two re-heating ovens, one roll* g ing mill of great power, one large foundry * for castings, one large machine shop, one a blaoksmith shop, one floor and grist mill, one saw mill, one set of ore stampers, store ? and dwelling houses for superintendents and operatives; also, a fine nail faotory of " seven machines, capable of turning out b thirty kegs of nails daily. > The machinery is all propelled by water ^ p^wer, each department having its own t separate water-wheel. The wheels, eight in number, have been thoroughly rebuilt ? ad repaired' during the past summer by that skillful milright, W. It. Ileid, Esq ? The watei-power is abundant at all times, the Company having a fine dam across the river, by which the whole of Broad River tl could be turned on the machinery. Iron fi is made by two modes at these works. That ti by the high furnace is called smelting into 1; pigs; the iron ore is broken into small v lumps, and the furnace kept filled alternate- s Iy with the ore and oharcoal, mixed with li some limestone for fluxing, this by the cold a blast will produoe about 4500 pounds No. 1 d pig every twenty-four hours. This has af- c terwards to be puddled in the puddling ti ovens and made into blooms. The other c mode is by bloomery fires direct from the v ore. The ore made use of in blooming fires f< goes through the preliminary operations of \ stamDiner and washing, bv which the ore is t< reduced to something like coarse powder, e Two hands attending to one blooming fire d will produce from 800 to 1000 pounds of p No. I blooms every twenty-four hours, e which are afterwards re-heated and rolled tl out into bar irou and nail plate. It re* fi quires a very superior article of iron ore to s produce blooms direct from the ore, but d the Company has an abundant supply of 1< this ore on their lands. /' o * * * i'" t_ It is the intention of the company to add k to the manufacture of iron that of cast and i< blistered steel, for which their iron is peou- I liarly adapted. " " The whole number of mechanics and I; operatives at present engaged at the works s is about one hundrod and fifty, under the o superintendence of A. M. Latham, Esq., s who has bad charge of the property for the c past twelve years. ^ We understand that the Carolina Cotton t and Woolen Factory, chartered by the Leg- u islature at the last session, will be looated 8 on the opposite side of the river, and we 8 doubt not in a short time thriving inanu- " facturing villages will spring up on both i' sides of the river. The Shelby and Broad River Bail Road ^ passes through the works, and it is now io j the course of being put under contract from ^ Shelby, which will give the furnaces mineral .coal, and enable the manufacture of ^ iron and steel to be increased to any extent. ^ The Directors of the Company are : G.

Premature.?The Mobile Journal e gives utterance to our sentiments, as well as those of the Jackson Appeal, when it j. expresses the opinion that all discussion of, ^ and all motions for, or against, the reception of the Northwestern States, are premature and injudicious. When they ask for admission, or give a reasonable intimation that they will ask, it will be soon enongh to consider the proposition. For the present, it is the part of wisdom in us ^ to foster and encourage a growing disposi* tion on their part to do as we have done? assert their original State sovereignty and | withdraw themselves ftrom an active par- g ticipation in the war against us, if they will do so. In this, there can be no difference of opinion amongst us; nor in the policy of entering into the freest and most unrestricted commercial relationship with them.? Than this, they cannot ressonably ask more, nor can we offer more without making an undignified and unbecoming demonstration i of excessive desire to propitiate them. But, 1 about the policy of receiving them into the ( Confederacy, there must arise a serious and ( irreconcilable difference of opinion if the j subject is pressed now, and such a decided t manifestation of public aversion to bo inti- \ mate a political relationship may be made t apparent as #may have a tendency to put e back materially the growing disposition in j our favor. . - t With these reflections the Journal res- < pectfully suggests to the press that the sub- ( ject be dropped as out of time, and that ( the press and public functionaries confine j themselves to the expression of only so much ] good will towards the Northwestern people i as will hold out to them a prospect of re- t gaining them in their lost trade with the g South as fully and completely as it was be- 1 fore the disruption, if theyt will discontinue e the war. Upon that platform we can all t stand. It is the identical position of Mr. i Yancey, as announced in the Alabama Con- < vention a few days after the passage of the i ordinance of secession. Let us but say to t them that the Mississippi and its tributa- j ries shall be considered, as to its riparian g peoples, but a continuation of the sea?the highway of nations as to them.?Sav. Neios.

How a Man Feels in Battle. There can be nothing more puzzling than he analysis of one's feelings on the battle eld. Yoa cannot describe them satisfacorily to yourself or others. To march stoadiy up to the mouth of a hundred cannon rhile they pour out fire and smoke, and hot and shell in a storm that mows the men ike grass, is horrible beyond description? ppaliDg. It is absurd to say a man can o it without fear. During Hancock's barge at Fredericksbutt;, for a lobg dismce the slope was swept by such a humane of death that we thought every step rould be our last, and I am willing to say," jr one, that I was pretty badly scared.? Vhatever may be said about "getting used a it," old soldiers secretly dred a battle qnally with the new ones. But the most ifihalt thing to stand up under is the snsense while waiting, as we waited in Fredrioksburg, drawn up in line of battle on he edge of the field, watohiog the columns led past us and disappear in a oloud of moke, where horses and men and colors go own in confusion, where all sounds, are ^A wAMMAmin/M PKAI 1 a o nvonlrlnrv JSl/ IU LUC ouicauaug OUCH*j vue vtuvatug I f musketry, the thunder of artillery, and nowiog our own turn cornea next, expectag eaoh moment the word "Forward."? t brings a strange kind of relief when 'Forward" comes. You move mechanicalj with the rest. Once fairly in for it, your ensibilities are strangely blunted, you care omparatively nothing about the sights that hocked you at first; men torn to pieces by annon shot becomes a matter of coarse.? Lt such a time, there comos a latent susenance from within us, or abovo us, which >o man anticipates who has not been in aoh a place before, and which most men inst pass through life without knowing nything about. What is it ? Where does t come from ? ?? ?? The Day or Prayed?As Friday, the !7th instant, has been appointed by the Resident of these Confederate States, as a lay of fasting and prayer, a poor soldier, rbo volunteered in the defence of his counry's rights, and who is anxious to return tome to his little children, would request hrough your columns and the columns of iur newspapers generally, that the day be bserved by all Christians as a day of uni-ersal fasting and earnest prayer to God for , speedy peace, and that the universal ousom of only holding service in oar Churches during the morning be departed from on be present occasion, and service be also ield at three o'clock in the afternoon, vberever practicable, and especially by our oldiers in every camp?the object of which vill be to request God to ohange the hearts if our enemios towards U9 and grant us a peody peace. At five o'clook J propose that every chrisiau in civil or military life, and especially he wives, mothers and sisters of our brave i At..?- i._.A j f.Jit oiuters retire to tneir ciosets auu iu ?uu >ray for a speedy peace ; and perhaps God nay hear our prayers and stop this unholy trife, and permit us to return to our homes. My request can be easily complied with; ind as it will give satisfaction to many of >ur brave soldiers, I am in hopes it will be egarded. by Christians of all denoniioaions. G.?Fayetteville Observer. To all Soldiers' Relief Associations in South Carolina.?The Legisature having placed at the disposal of the jentral Association, at Columbia, two hunIred thousand dollars, to be expended in )roviding shoes, blankets and olothing to he Carolina soldiers, the Association calls lpon all similar Associations in the State o aid it in its great work. Deeply impres led with the importance of these voluntary Associations, and the generous and selflacrificing spirit which has distinguished >ur people, we would respectfully urge up>n all the most vigorous and persevering xertion. Let none suppose that the appropriation on the part of the State has endered individual and private effort unlecessary. When we think of the magni,ude of the struggle in which we are engaged, the determined spirit of our unscrupuous enemy, the comparatively limited lelources of our Government, we feel that he appeal is made to every man and woman n the Confederacy, and that our success san only be achieved by the joint labor of ill. We invite, then, the co operation of ill District Associations, and would be pleased to receive any information or sug;estions in reference to our common labors. M. LaBORDE, Chairman Central Association. / Good Crops, Messrs. Editors:?You constantly advise the planters to plant large orops.of provis- j ions of all kinds. This is right, and we intend to do it. Oar Congressmen tell as that the Federals are more confident now than heretofore of conquering us, based upon the fact of onr scarcity of supplies of food, &c., and are relying more upon that than the force of arms. I believe this to be true ; therefore, everything depends upon the exertions and success of oar planters. The planters will do their duty in this respect, if let alone in their crop and work. A great majority of us now have do overseers, they having gone into Service, while we have taken charge of our business.? Hence the necessity of letting ua pitch, oar erops, and give it oar whole attention, without being interfered witiTto perform other duties. The planters can, and have done much, but they cannot be soldiers and farmers at the same time. To make good crops we must enjoy the full labor of our negro men, who Ire ploughmen; next, it requires all our time to see that the negros do their duty. Hence, I make these suggestions earnestly: 1. Abolish all old field militia duty, at least until the crop is laid by. 2. Have no more tomfoolery, calling out Reserves, which was the worst blow that has been struck against our farming interest since the war began; for if, as asserted, that our success depends mostly upon the planters' exertions in making orops, then let them stay at home and work the negros to make the orops. 8. Draw no more negro men to work on fortifioations, but have the work done by Borne other, process, for every negro man that leaves home to do said work is & plough stopped.

[It is well worth consideration, whether it would not be better to substitute white for negro labor on our fortifications agd defences, and leave the latter free to fill our barna and granaries with food for man and beast. Every able bodied white man? every freeman,'worthy of the name, should be willing to handle spade and shovel, as well ai sword and musket, in our righteous war of defence against the vandal foe.? Editors Courier ] "The Horrors op Southern Society."?Under this appetizing title one Mary F. Clark, spinster and whilome governess and school mistress in the South, has been delighting the Abolitonists of Troy, New York, with some revelations of her experience and observations in the South. She reports that she was governess in the family of a distinguished South Carolinian for six years, and that incest is common in the families of .Southern planters. A correspondent of the Betlefonte (Pa..) Watchman, referring to this stupendous libel, adds: "I regret that the press gave publicity to such, a base, vulgar and infamous articles It conld do no possible good. It carried it, own falsity with it, as it is a notorious factr and well known to all who read the relig. ious periodicals, that tho Church South is as pure and orthodox in its Teachings as in the North, and that the Southern planters are as religious, virtuous, humane, and as parental and fraternal in xheir domestic relations as any people in the world, and are noted for their kindness and affection to ana for their ohildren} and it was with pleasure that I saw the good lady of the house, when the article in the Press was read, take it, declaring it was a slander and a falsehood, unfit to be read in a brothel, and cast it into the fire. That is the effect it had in our neighborhood." A Picture op a Yankee Senator.? In the Yankee Senate, while the Conscription act was under discussion, Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, in a short speeoh, gate the following skutoh of Wilson, of Mass: Had the Senator from Massachnsetts been in the Senate in the days of Jackson, he would have opposed him, and every slander uttered against that old hero would have come from the lips of the Senator, though he might have had some reverenoe for Washington. Had he lived in the days of the lievolution he would have been a tory, and talked flippantly of rebels, and offered rewards for tne heads of Sumter and Marion; and he would have betrayed his country as Arnold did. Had he lived in the days of Luther he would have sided with the Pope and feasted on the ashes of the martyrn, and lighted the fires of Smithfield. He might have had some reverenoe for that Deity which came to save the world, perhaps have obeyed him; he certainly would have followed him to the garden of Gethseraane through the streets of Jerusalem and to the bar of Pontius Pilate, and thon his voice would have been heard, but he would have said "Release unto us Barrabus, but for this Jesus, let him be crucified." Give youe Child a Newspapee.?A child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because he reads the names and things which are very familiar, and will make a progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a quarter's schooling to a ohild, and every father must consider that substantial information is connected with advancement. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life, and is braced for any emergency. Children amused by jreading and study are, of course, more considerate and more easily governed. How many thoughtless young men have spent their evenings in a tavern or grog-shop who ought to have been reading ? How many parents, who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their families, would have give thousands to reclaim a sou or daughter who had ignorantly and thoughtlessly fallen into temptation. Nary a Prater.?There is a role at Gberlln College that no student shall board at' any hoose where prayers are.not regularly made each day. A certain man fitted up a 4, boarding hoose, and filled it with boarders, but forgot until the eleventh hoar the prayer proviso. Not being a praying man himself; he looked around for one who was. . -.Sft*'/, length ho fonnd one, a meek young man ' from Trumbull county, who agreed to pay his board in praying. For a while all went on smooth, but the boarding master farois& ed his table so poorly that the boarders began to grumble and.to leave, and the other morning the praying boarder actually "struck." Something like the following **? dialogue occurred at the tables* r. Landlord?"Wfll you pray Mr. Mild?" xr:u ,.xt~ ?j. t ? s' IttilU?""HVj 04ft | M Wftftft UVVt Landlord??Wby not, Mr. Mild7" '* Mild?"It don't pay, sir. I can't pray # on anoh victuals as these, and no less you bind yourself in writing to sjt a better table than you have done for the last three weeks, nary another prayer do yon get out of me!" Andjhat's the way matters stood Utlaat advicesT J Gen. Peubebtok Be at.?A good dodge was recently played off on Gen. Pembertou . ' * and his officers, who, by their acts, are.ap*, parently trying to starve out the city of Mobile. They refuse to let produce of any description come down theMobile and Ohio Kail road, when there is plenty of it lying in the jrarehouses Totting. The story, is as follows r A gentleman wapting meat purchased it up the road; but knowing that It wonld be confiscated if found, he procured' a common pine box, about six feet long,* made to resemble a coffin, snch as are ' monly used to transport the dead. He filled this box with good sound bacon, whioh he found at reasonable prices in Mississippi, and then marked his dead body . thus : "John S-ioatf 3'Jd Ala. Regiment, v Mobile, Ala."' - ^ ^ s A P!rrf e Tnmir A Snlishnrr Ttf Cf j, correspondent of the Charlotte Bulletin ... gives the following: There were some eight prisoners who played a smart trick a week or two ago to inake good their escape, which snoceeded very well so far as they were concerned." A case or two of small pox broke out among the prisoners and guard, when it entered in- - . to some of their heads that they would have the small pox. So they took-* hoi; iron ? and stack it about over their faces and stack pins in one another, and then went before Dr. J. W. Hall, Surgeon at the p<M^- ?* and he sent them to a hospital about half a mile from the garrison. They did not etay there bat a few hoars, and that was onljtt* wait until dark, when they made good their esoape, and have not been heard of since. _ :? A Soldiee's Dodge.?The Cincinnati Enquirer says: We have already stated that the 5th O- .a5ft hio regiment has been reduced from 1070 men to 114 effective troops. Several efforts have been made to obtain a permission from the authorities to recruit the regiment.to,its old maximum number without success,, but on the contrary the War Department have iotimated a determination to consolidate the . one hundred and fourteen men with anoth er regiment. This proposition does not meet with favor in the 5th regiment, the members of which have decided on a plan by which they can get out. of the service.? It is this?the officers of the regiment are to resign, leaving vacancies to be filled fro#* the ranks of the privates, who; when appointed, are also to resign, and so on nntil the entire regiment is exhausted. .s Temporary.?In a reported conversation between Lincoln and Seward, the ? lowiog occurred : Seward still attempted to console him by telling him that the disunion of the States was only temporary, and that they would soon get them back again. "Temporary" said Abe; "well, .that puts me in mind of a fellow in Illinois who. hooked a trout one day out fishing; the trout broke bis line and went off with the hook iu his .month, and being asked if he bad lost bis hook, he said, lonly tempora*, rarily ; I will catch the trout directly, and get it back again.' Now Billy, your line is broJcen, and if you can catch that sarke trout again, you are a better fisherman than ,1am." Famine in the South.?The N. York Herald has au article under this heading, in which it says that if to tbe other misfortunes of the South that of nnappeased hunger be appended, there, can be do donbt that the rebefa will sooo yield. In this view, it urges the President at ooce to attack the seaboard oities, and thus out them off from the outside world. It says the South does not lack men, arms or monitions of war. but thai it does need food for its ar] mica. Manufacture of Cotton Cards in Selma, Ala.?We learn from the Report- * er that Mr. J. M. Keep, of Selma, had perfected a machine for the manufacture of cotton oards. The wire which forms the teeth of the cards is manufactured by Mr. Keep, and it is said to be a superior article. He is at present engaged in making another machine, simpler than the first; and will oontinue to add new machines to his maniifaotory until he has a number sufficient to supply the demand for cards. Diyarsion.'?A son of Erin, working in an establishment in this city, beari&g that a company was to be raised fur service at Charleston, for and during the attack, asked leave of his employers to enrol bis name; which was not acoeeded to, as his labor was more important to the government at home than in the army. Erin did not so view it, and replied: "Here I've been working for twenty months, and its d?d hard I can't have a little divarsion?Gv&rdum*
