The papers announce the death of this distinguished gentleman, at his residence near Montgomery, Alabama, on the 28th ult., after an illness of four weeks, from the effects of a disease of the kidney. We are not prepared to give an extended uotice ot his life, but the la9t few years have brought him so prominently beforo the world, as the true patriot, and the cloqueut and unflinching advocate of Constitutional right and political independence, that the melancholy intelligence will be received with profound sorrow. At the time of his death he was a Senator from Alabama, in the Confederate Congress, where he was the leading spirit. Our^young Confederacy can illy afford to lose such men now, but bis spirit and teachings still remain with us; let us follow up the destiny he has so often and so vividly pointed out to his countrymen, and its fulfilment will prove the noblest monument that can be erected to his ! memory oy a rree auu luuepciiueuB-peupie. ' ; MILITARY. ' By an order from the Adjutaut General's Office, the Company formed in the 27th Regiment, of Chester District, has been transferred from the fourth to the fifth Re- ! giment of Militia, with the 26th from the j same District. The electron for Field Of- ' ficers came off on Friday last, the rdsult we are Dot likely to receive in time for this paper. While on thi3 subject, we would state that a diversity of opinion still exists as to . the "disposition" of those persons in the organization between the ages of 40 and 45. We wrote.to the Adjutant General, but he has not replied, so it must yet be considerered an unsettled matter. At preseut the organization uumbers 5,384, if those under 45 are conscripted now, the number will fall considerably below the 5,000 required, and perhaps another call be ma$e to supply the deficiency. If the troops are ordejjttfl into camp previous to the 1st of September, when the'enrolment goes into effect, the or- , ganization will probably remain, as we have said, "intact,"?as it is. n THE NEWS OP THE WEEK. There has been nothing of startling importance transacted the past week, what news we have is mostly thro' Yankee sources. As our cotemporary of the Courier says; if they'tell the truth, "great blessings are about being outpoured upon the Southern Confederacy. The Emperor of the Frenob has determined to take part with ' us. Eogiand intends presenting us with an iron clad navy, completely furnished ; with guns,IrtEmuuition, marines, aud seamen, afi*d men in power in Lincolndoni are grievously disquieted by these manifestations of friendly feeling towards the rebels." Affairs in Charleston jreihain in slptu quo, ss the lawyers say, though appearances on both sides give "note of busy prep aratiou." The good Fort Wagner holds | out faithful, while the citizens seem to think \ the old city impregnable. Large numbers ; of vessels are in Scono, and freui the construction of a semi circular battery on Morris is'aud, it is thought the Yankees meditate a strong attack on James' Island.. We will be prepared to meet them, we learn, as all, their moves have been anticipated. In Virginia, we leuru that Ewell has; joined Lee, and it may be possible that I Grant will assist Meade, and before loog a great battle-may be fought in another "on to ^Richmond." ' The raid threatened on Weldon may be diverted by tLe prompt movement of our troops, but we may look for some demonstration iu another quarter. Our armies are now becoming massed, and thus we anticipate, as our wishes of course incline us, the most favorable results. From the West, we hear little of Johnston, though the Federals are preparing for an attack on Mobile. Bragg and llosencrans have not yet got together, though the . latter ba$ been heavily reinforced. The next weeli will be "big with the fate cf " fm?nr .md Rome." CAPTURE OP GEN. MORGAN. The following is the only announcement we bjveof the fact, which seems to be generally conceded. It is an official telegram from Col. Shackelford, dated "near New Lisbon, July 28tb," says : l'By the blessings of Almighty Clod, 1 have succeeded in cupturing General John II. Morgan, Colonel Clarke, and the bal auce.of the command, amounting to about 400 arc prisoners. "I will start with Morgan and Staff ou the first traiu for- Cincinnati, and await the General's order for the transportation for the balance." It has been since stated that Morgan and his command would be placed in the Ohio 'Penitentiary, to await u settlement of difficulties among the Agents of Exchange. It serins that Lincoln, believing the bal&ooe of prisoners> against as, would violate the cartel; we think he will find himself mfsten, at any rate no more Yankees should ' be sent on truce boats until the same number of our men are accounted for. The capture of Morgan is a great misfortune to us, but wo are inclined to think still that his trip into Indiana paid very well for so reckless a one. We learn, however, that there is some probability of a resumption of the exchange of prisoners. The Commissioners will meet in a day or two to compromise difficulties, if possible. i The issue between Commissioners Lud- ] low and Ould has been made upon the sub- 1 ject of the recent act of the Confederate j Congress, whioh declares punishment upon all the officers and men commanding ne- 1 gro or mulatto troops, and uponsuoh troops 1 themselves. ART? WE PREPARED ? The following article, from the.Edgefield i Advertiser will suit well enough for this,x quarter. We have arms, it is true, but they are locked up iu some safe place, where their condition will not probably be y much improved. We would suggest that ? the citizens- organize in some way, to make ? the arms *ond ammunition available and ( fit for service wbeu they are needed. Se- { ourity will be required for the safe keeping | and return of the arms, of course, but this < t&ould be readily accorded, and proper | steps be taken at once to show our means j of defence arc ample. < "Ma. Editor ?Cannot the people of the Villages in the State be induced to request and obtain from the Governor, if possible, a sufficiency of the munitions of ? war to protect their.families from foreign \ and domestic enemies. Are they disposed ^ i ? *: : it. to remain passive, muoienuy aiscussiug iue j progress of subjugation, until their homesteads are surrounded by the foe.

V. IS THE WoODi, ) 16 miles east of Brandon, Miss., July 19th, 1863. ( . Dear Enquirer :?Since my last letter, ire have been passing through the dreadful wenes of battle and retreat, and though we ire almost worn out physiaally, and badly iepressed mentally, we hare abundant reason td be thankful that so inany of us hre lhas far, safe and sound. On the morning^ if the 4th of July we were within three utiles of Big Blick river, and on the mornng of the 6tb, would, nu doubt, have irossed and assailed the rear of Grant's irmy, but on the evening of the 5th, the jrushing news of "Vioksburg has fallen" imote our em's, and, with sad hearts, we vere ordered to return in the direction of ' raokson. The sound of oaonon and musretry reaching us from the direotiou of the i7er, wherg our oavalry and the enemy vere engaged; the latter having already lommenoed followiug up his Buooess, hjrough two long, sultry days, with no vater, except from horse-ponds, and with >erfeet clouds of dust breasting us, we urned our backs to the'enemy before reading Pearl River. Were9ted then one night, md on the morning of the 9th our reginent entered the redoubts'of Jaokson, the tannon and musketry of -the enemy coming sloser and oloser. All was quiet in the ranches for the first day; but on the 10th he ball was opened by a shell thrown by the :nemy, up the Clinton road, after which u leries of the heaviest skirmishing 1 havfc 5ver seen, took place. Had not the reserve 'orce been so large, a considerable battle night Lave been reported each day. The irst assault or attacir ot tne enemy, was nade ou our left, when -the enemy were Iriveb back with oonsidetable loss, by a portion of Gen. Breokiuridgd's Division. There was, afierwarde, a charge of the enituy amonnting, almost, to an assault, on )ur right, which wps repulsed and followed ip, onr troops leaving their trenohes and eharging the enetny in turn. This oooured io Gen. Loriug's command j considora>le loss was inflicted upon the enemy here Vn assault or charge was made upon our ight centre, on Thursday, the. 16th, in vbich our regiment had a small share, but be principal fightiDg was done by Walker's Division, which formed our right centre;? Den. French's Division, to which we belong, leld the left centre, and upon the whole centre the heaviest canuonading and skirmishing was kept up all'the while. In the . charge referred to, the enemy suffered much more than opr troops. The 46th Georgia, Dol. Colquitt, and a Texan Regiment charj;ing them, and driving them back a considerable distance. A lifflfl pnisn^A nnr'tirrftd on the 14f.h. a ^ ,,"#w 9 lag of trace, (we suppose for the purpose )f burying the dead) was exchanged, and Hostilities were suspended from one.o'olook, p. ai., until four o'clock, p. m.,.in which ;ime the soldiers of both armies met by Hundreds at half distance, and had a hilarious time. The subject of peace was discussed, when several of the Yankee privates remarked, that if the privates X)f both araiies could meet "they could make peaoc in 24 hours aud take a drink over it, into the bargain." Many regrets were expressed that they should be mingling "so socially uow, and iu a few minutes would be doing their best to cut each others throats." The j officers and privates iu the Yankee army j here, seem to have a supreme contempt'for j the Eastern Yankees aud Abolitionists.? j The expiration of the truce was announced j by the report of cannon, blank first and then shotted. Upon which our boys all I made for their "rat holes," but a solemn silence seemed to have succeeded. Each side seemed loth to begin. Our pickets and the enemy's rested upon their guns.? Alter a long silence," a laukee cannon j belched forth, wheu verysoon the skirmish- 1 ers beguu their work of death. Late in the afternoon of the 16th, I begau to suspect, from certain movements, for the first time, that we would evacuate the city. At dark, sure enough the order came. We wero'to leave our works at 10 o'clock, the pickets to remain in front until 1 o'clock, ' a. m. Whou the hour of 10 o'clock came, j we silently bade farewoll to the spot where i every man felt confident that he could drive j back all force sent against him. The whole affair was conducted in the best possible Btyle. All leaving at the designated hour, and witl^ unexpected quietness. At' one : time I thought the "thing was out," at 9 ] o'clock, p. u., a shell vras thrown iDto the city, bat its long tail of lire, and infernal noise, was the last I have seen or heard of the-Yankees up to this time.

There is another invasion excitement in Kentucky, caused by the advance of a force of cavalry, under Peg ram, 1,500 strong, towards Lexington. 400 Yankees were attacked at Richmond, overpowered and badly cut up.
