Mr. Anderson, who will leave t ' for thia Regiment on the first week in April, will take charge of all paokages for that destination which may be left at the Yorkville depot. COBN FOB THE GOVERNMENT. We are requested to call attention to the advertisement for Corn from this District, by Col. C. F. Harris, of the Quarter Mastter's Department. We have said so much to day of the necessity of feeding the soldiers, we only add that it must be had, if by impressment. COMPLIMENTARY. The. Band of the 6th Regiment, S. C. j V., being borne on rarlongb, paid our town | * * * a visit on Friday evening last, nioob to the ! gratification of our citizens. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the evening, they ? paid a visit to the residence of General Jenkins, where they discoursed sweet sounds, and were hospitably welcomed by hia lady. They left next morning for their respective homes, where we know a warm welcome, and trust good cheer, await the brave and gallant boys. FROM THE WAR. The past week affords nothing of interest to our readers. Every thing at Charleston is quiet, and in Virginia the bad weather has .induced the Yankees to be as "asey as theyoanj" in other words, in the vernacular, we might say, as the Irishman did of the terraninfl. "the bastes have na mackle i speed." The Impressment bill has passed, bat a case has occurred to restrain the same, from an inferior conrt, as the public exigency did not demand it; the latter is a case. J Oar readers may have heard of "great affairs" since oar lost; we publish fads, only, and thus have no long lists this week, of great fights and their contradictions. THE DUTY OP PLANTERS. On oor first page to-day, we publish several extracts under this head from Mississippi papers, which will give an idea of pt^lio opinion in that quarter. We think the impression of private property Bhould be io the last resort, but, we fear, unless a different spirit is manifested in our State than at present, the last resort will have come. There is an abundance of corn in our District, but we regret to say that most of it is in the hands of men of wealth, who will spare it only at $2} and upwards. The soldiers and their families should alike be the rich man's care, for the truth is becoming daily the more apparent that it is their icar that is be'ng fought. If the rich man with bh twenty negroes and an overseer exempt at home, stoops to speculating on the necessities of the war, they have no right to murmnr when their cotton or corn is impressed. It is their duty to render voluntarily all they have to the Government, and their services, too, when needed. They need not excuse themselves with the plea that Confederate moDey is about as ?5 to > ?1 of gold, the soldier is paid but ^11 a month in the former currency and can pay j them for the corn necessary for their fami- j lies only in kind. These are facts, however unpleasant to write or hear; but it is obviously the duty, as it is the interest of the Planter and'Tarmer, to spare of his abuo dance, and foregoing speculation for the present, prepare his acres for the cultivation of that only which will keep the Yankees from oarrying out their threat of "starving out." In this connection thc dlnty of the State becomes apparent. There are others besides the soldiers and their families to be supported, and that by their own labor; this cannot be done, if another call of the militia from the up-country is carried out. They would prove of little nse for an emergency ; besides the commissariat bureau is quite as essential to the well-being of the army as the ordnance or drilling department. It is said by a cotemporary that "there are some people whose faith in num- j bers is so great that they deem the country ; safe if they can only put men in the field? forgetting that there are other things indispensably necessary to keeping them there." i Loaves of bread don't grow on trees, sand-: wiches are not gathered in the highways, and we are not so holy as to expect our people to be fed as were the Israelites, with manna from heaven. No, let the militia remain at home, and the Keserve humbug be not repeated. An appeal for volunteers ; from among the exempts or non-producing I community, made by the Governor, if patriotic citizens should fail, would gather all whose patriotism could be made available. The militia immediately in reach of the scene of action will feel it their duty to be in action?bat the desertion of our up-countrv farms for the next three months would ? prove almost as disastrous as a defeat. At least, such is our humble opinion. DISTBESSING. It becomes our duty to notice at times matters which we might deem better to keep iu darkness, but as our cotemporaries have taken the initiative, we are impelled to follow the stream, that rumor ma; not magnify fact9. At Atlanta, Georgia, a Dumber o? ladies, composed of the wives and daughters of soldiers' families, representing that they had been deprived of anything to eat for several days but corn, perambulated the streets until they came to a provision store. One of them asked the price of bacon, which she was told was 81.10 a pound. She remonstrated with him, as to the impossibility of females in their con v?tion, paying suoh prices for this necessary of life. He remaining inexorable in his demand, this lady proceeded to draw from her bosom a long navy repeater, and at the same time ordered the others in the crowd to help themselves to what they liked, whioh they did .accordingly, giving preference to the bacon, until they had taken, as wc learn, something like 8200 worth. Truly, this is a horrible state of affairs, when Southern women are reduced, or induced to such extremity. The reader is probably inclined to bold op his bands in holy horror, and exclaim that this is bat an isolated case. It is not. In Salisbury, N. C. on the 18th inst., a mob (says a correspondent of the Charlotte Bulletin) consisting mostly of soldier's wives, and led on by hunger, and hatred against speculation, armed themselves with hatchets and congregated at the depot for the purpose of breaking in, if neccessary, for the purpose of getting some flour stored away by some speculator. But, the idea struck them that Mr. M. Brown, who has bought more flour than any one else in the place, and perhaps has been the means through which flour has taken such a rise ia the last few days, had a good deal on hand, they marched through the street to his store and demanded to be let in, but the door was closed and they went to work in good earnest to break it down. Mr. B. to satisfy them, told them that he would give them ten barrels if they would leave and let him alone. They finally agreed to it, and sent for a dray to haul it to the maiket house, for the purpose of making an equal division of it. From several other persons they obtained flour and salt, and some molasses, when 1' ! ? ? J mliirtli mno AIaoa/) liwy repuircu I,KJ tuc ucjiuu nuiuu vvuo vtvswi oq them, and demanded admittauce; the Agent refused, but finally agreed to let three of the women in, and said if any more got in they wonld have to walk over him, when a large, starlwart woman made at him with a hatohet. He backed and they roll* ed out ten barrels of flour that was bought by a man in Charlotte, and had it hauled up. Had it not been for spme mean persons in the crowd it would have done a great deal better; but some one or more in the crowd took a good deal of scotch snuff from Dr. Enniss. We do not expect such a state of affairs to happen in this State, where all mob law is ignored, but we truet, with the correspondent alluded to, that "this work will be the means of persons exercising more sympathy for their fellow men. They caunot save their souls by money; so what is the use of so much work to get the almighty dollar." EDITORIAL ITEMS. ?

The State, it will be seen, by an advertisement of the Commissary in to-day's ; paper, is going into the whiskey business, on its own acoount.

Oar informant said that he had been in the army since the war began, and that never did he know our men to be in better trim for battle.

We have before us files of the Houston (Texas) News to the 11th ult. The News publishes part of an extra from the Houston Teleyraph in regard to Missouri affairs, which will be new to our readers. The Telegraph says that the Missouri militia, under Gen. Harney, have rebelled against the Lincoln authority, retained the arms put into their hands by the Abolitionists and seized upon every town of importance on the Missouri river, together with a vast amount of supplies, arms and ammunition. The writer says: Upon the reception of this important news by Gen. Hindman, at Louisburg, be dispatched immediately Generals Marmaduke and Shelby, with 10,000 cavalry and infantry to their relief, until his main force could be brought up. It was also said that Gen. Hindman himself has gone into Missouri to confer with Harney and perfect their combinations.

There were no indications of an advance of the enemy, and all the rumors and talk of his crossing the river have given way to the impression that i there will be no forward movement for some time to comc. All the stir and bnstle in the enemy's camp have subsided, and everything was quiet on both sides of the river. Desertions from the enemy are becoming very frequent. Not a day passes but deserters come into our lines. Oo Saturday night, our sentinels were atoused by a noise in the river, quickly followed by several voices, "Don't fire"?"don't fire."

He expresses the opinion that the final sucoess of the Confederacy, which he looks upon as already accomplished, will eventually break up the Abolition party in England as well as in America.

The cutting off of the free exchange of newspapers will probably add five thousand dollars to the postage revenues of the Confederacy. To the large newspaper establishments it will make little difference, but may seriously embarrass some of those in inferior positions that are now sustained with difficulty. Whether increasing the rates .of postage on letters and papers will increase the aggregate revenue, is somewhat doubtful.? It will bear bard upon the soldiers who will have to pay it out of eleven dollars a month, or the. soldier's family, who have few resources in his absence, but to others, we suppose it will make less difference.
