"It is meet," says- Mr. Davis, that "when trials and reverses befal us, we should take home to our hearts and consciences the lessons which they teach, and profit by the self-examination for which they prepare us." We hope the call will be universally responded to, and that onr people will strictly unite on the occasion ? Let us devote one day to a heartfelt invocation for His blessing, without whom there is no success?let us pray for our wounded soldiers and suffering country; and He will nerve our arms when the conflict comes, and under His Providence the blessings of Security and Peace may yet be ours. Let the day and the occasion he strictly observed. Wc have since been ioformed, by the . Rev. Mr. Wood, that there will be divioe service in the several churches of this town, ^ on Friday next. THE WEATHER. Since cur last, we had a light, and in some portions a very light shower, until yesterday morning, when fall weather seemed to have set in on us. The corn has begun to suffer, and nothing but a good season from this time can bring it out to the expectations early in the season. We have had a stout gale from north-east, but -no rain yet. HOME DEFENCE. A meeting preparatory to the formation of a company for this purpose, was held at the Court House, on Saturday evening last, when a committee was appointed to obtain 4 4 members. We deem if unnecessary to appeal to our citizens, old and young, to turn out unanimously, and not only get up, but keep up by a regular system of drill and exercise, so important an adjunct to the effective militia. We have ai; the arms and munitions necessary, and men are only wanted to use them. An adjourned 'meeting will be held on Saturday evening next, when a general attendance of all concerned . is requested, to effect an organization. THE MILITARY. It will be seen that Gen. J. H. Williams, of Xcwberry, has been elected Colonel, and Messrs John A. Bradley, of Chester, Lieut. Colonel, and Lucian P. Sadler, of York, Major, of the 5th Regiment of S. Carolina Militia, in which arc the York Companies. The first named gentleman has seen service in Mexico, where he gained distinction, while the others have been long connected with the military of the State', in their present positions Possessed of such quulifiea-. tions, with the high toned prestige of Carolina gentlemen, they will doubtless secure the best discipline and regard of their command, -both in and out of action. GEN. MORGAN. We have published, says the Augusta Const it utionoUil, of the 15th, statements made by Northern papers, thut Morgan had been lodged in the Ohio Penitentiary and treated as a felon, having his head shaved and suffciing other indignities. On the ether huud, a letter has been received in this city from Mrs. Morgan, stating that she has late intelligence from her husband, in which he states that he is kindly treated, and hopes to be with her on his parole iD a short time. INTERVENTION. As Queen Victoria thiuks it improper to interfere in "the civil war," in the United States, the Yankees are turning their speculative batteries on the Emperor of the French, and are giving hira some very good reasons why he should act in the premises, lie is told that an alliaucc offensive and defensive, with the Confederacy will securo hi q in his possession of Mexico, add that liogland will follow his example to save Canada from Yankee invasion. If copies of such journals could find their way into the Imperial library, more good might probnbly be effected for u=, than the large amount of* gold Mr. Mernminger's munificence has placed at the disposal of our "mimic ministry." DECIDEDLY RICH.

Roast the Same together. The com will pop out, and roast what remr.ius well and without burning, and it will make excellent coffee.* WORTH CAROLINA. Meetings have been held in certain counI ties of North Carolina, "infavor of peace," | as who is not, if an honorable one can be j conquered. But it seems to us that those | whg composed such assemblages have been influenced to action more by the consorip* tion act than any probability of concession on the part of the Lincoln government.? They talk of bad treatment received from the Confederate government, and great fuss is made over the appointment of a Major | Bradford as "tithing agent," he not being ^ a Dative of the State; now this appoint toent was immediately annulled wnen asI certaiDed to be unsatisfactory, and another appointed, which the leading demagogue j press thinks satisfactory, but the "hounds keep up the cry," though the scent is lost* Now, we would ask, who composed these . peace meetings ? were they men who had ; j been battling for the cause or those who have j ; been skulk'iDg in" their homep, and now fear i I i of being rooted out of their rat holes?we j shall see. Cov. Vance continues to vindi- i cute the time-houored, and well sustained character of the "good old North State," "the* cradle of Independence j" and the. ! North Carolina soldiers in Northern Virgin | ia, met at OraDge Court House, iu mass j j and.organized; Col. Bryant Grimes, Chair-! man, with nine Secretaries, and a commit- I tee of arrangements of nine. The resoluI . : tions were one Tor each brigade?Col. Gar1 rett Chaitman of the'Committee on lieso9 j lutions. They adopted unanimously a resoi lution pledgiug the loyalty of the North | Carolina army to the Confederacy, and say ; they are confident Gov. Vance will sustain | the good cause. Colonels Garrett, Jones, i Cox and Grimes were appointed a commit-1 tee to write an address to the people of that 1 State. The Convention was enthusiastic i i ' /&nd unanimous. When all our fighting men are in the field, ipc would deem the time unpropitious to let off so much spvnl.-aa has issued from : the nou combatants of Surry, as follows : i "Rcsohcd, That in view of the treatment i this State has received from the Confed- j i irmmmmont nnrl the insults CODStautlv ! VIUVV ? , heaped upon her, wo deem it the duty of | all North Carolinians to demand their discontinuance, or we shall, in self-defence, be j conipelled to take a position where we tan take care of ourselves; and wc call upon the people to bold meetings in their respective counties, and declare whether they shall be freemeD or slaves." To those who would asperse the North State, we point with pride to the niany batj tie fields made brilliant by the p|$wess of her sons, to their gallant defences of our own beleagured city of Charleston?to the , "history of her post?and with abiding faith iu the glorious future that awaits her. WHOLESALE SWINDLING. j The Charlotte Democrat of thc-4th in-j | stent, says: <(A mnn who o?ave his name us B. Phil-1 I " ~~ ? ! lips brought ten negroes to this place last week, men, women and children, and sold | then? at auction for 613,000. After he had I collected the money and left, news was reJ ceived that the negroes were all froe, and that they had been stolen from the neigh; borhood of Yorktown, Ya. Phillips represented that he had bought the negroes at . Petersburg, and produced forged papers to ; prove it. The negroes assisted in the swindling operation by keeping couccaled the fact that they werg free born ; and when questioned about the matter they aoknowl! edged that they vero free, and some of them j ' * 1 V.AinM clitrnu r.Q tn ! suiu inujr piciviicvi o.?,vu ?

Dunavant, of JSdgeGeld ; j District, is nominated by a writer iq the Carolinan to the command of the 5000 i State troops lately organized. Theappointment would doubtless give general satisfaction. By order No. 183, published in our ! paper to day, it will appear that these regi moots are not to be disturbed for the present by the withdrawal from the organization of those members who are liable to con| scription. ? The attention of enrolling officers and of officers and members of the State regiments recently organized for defenoe of the i city of Charleston, is directed to the orders j of the Commandaot of Conscripts to be j ( found in this days' paper. ?

The Legislature of Alabama was called to meet in extra session, at Montgomery, on Monday last. ?

When the time for breaking up came, the females were sent home, but the males were positively detained as recruits. For the Yorkvllle inquirer. PRO BONO PUBLICO. Mr. Editor :?I desire to throw out a nut for a few honorable gentlemen to crack. Why are there so many desertions from our army ? It is simply because there are so mnny honorable Senators, Legislators and fiery Secessionists, who are entrenching themselves behind their dignity and wealth, to escape the just claims of their country upon their services. These poor creatures become disheartened, when they see these pugnacious individuals remaining at home, who, before the war, promised to do all the fighting and drink all the blood. I have thrown out the nut and cracked it for this honorable class of persons. I have made a shoe, which will fit some persons as neatly as ever shoe did, made by so poor a cobbler as myself. If there he those, who think the shoe will fit them, they can find out the cobbler by applying at the "Enquirer" Office. CATO. Jackson, Miss., August 13.?A special dispatch to the Memphis Appeal says tele graph communication with Canton, Grenada, Senatobia, Water Valley and intermediate points has been reopened. 4 ?? ?? ? The Tax Act. . Richmond, August 11.?The Commission on .taxes directs that in the valuation of all taxable articles or objects, including estimates of agricultural products in kind, assessors shall be governed by the current selling prices of the articles or objecta to be taxed in the neighborhood where held at the time or upon the day with feferonoe to which the assessment or valuation is required by law to be made. Assessors are. also instructed-to be vigilant in ascertaining what each farmer has actually produced, and guard against the plan of - exchanging corn and wheat with each other, devised by farmers in certain districts to evadfe the tax in kind. ? ' . Non-Combatants. The Charleston fllercury says; . * + Gun. Beauregard has recently urged the departure of all non- combatants from Charleston, and prohibited the ingress of any more. There Bhould be no mistake concerning bis views, either as to the immineuoy of tbo danger at this point, or as to the character of the defence that he will make. Let it be distinctly understood by every body that Charleston is to be defended to the last extremity. If the harbor is taken, the' city is to be fought street by street, and house by house, as loog as we have a foot of ground to staud upon. I It is high time that publio attention [ sbould be directed to this subject. We were pleased to learu that the gentlemen composing the commission met yesterday.? We trust that iu their efforts to make Charleston ready forthwith to stand shelling, they will have the eo-operation and assistance of our entire population. Nothing could stay us and the country, in the event of' its fall, but the most'beroio and devoted exertions; nothing can save Charleston but a desperate defence. One .and aJI, let ub bestir ourselves, and make readyatonce for the rapidly approaching struggle. Let none be caught napping, and no obstacles be thrown in the way of our military authorities. News from the Islands.?During Thursday night, a continued fire was kept up between the land batteries, and at intervals became .very rapid and heavy. On Friday morning, the enemy fireda few shell at Fort Sumter from the two mortar hulks which they have grounded on the beach, opposite their nearest battery to Fort Wagner. The shell, however, fell far short of the mark. After this exhibition, the enemy remained qniet the rest of the day, onr side still sendinsr them an occasional shell from Battery Simkins. About !)$ o'clock last Dight, another fierce cannonade opened between batteries Gregg .Uftd Wagner and the Yankee batteries on Craig Hill. This firing was-unusually rapid. It was reported that Battery Wagner gave the enemy the benefit of some new guns of heavier calibre, the fire from which is believed to have been very effectual. The cannonading was still goiug on with some rapidity at the hour of writiog, viz: 12 o'clock at night. We could hear of ?o casualties. Charleston Courier, 15th. Spy to be Shot.?A letter from Fort Gaines, in Mobilfr harbor, dated the 8th instant, gives an account of the sentence of death having ben passed upon a spy. He is a CaptaiQ of the 23d New Tork regiment, came through our lines at Jlichmond, rind has been spying ever since. He has visited Charleston, Savannah, Chattanooga and Atlanta, as also nearly every prominent point in the Confederacy. His lust visit was to Mobile, where his money gave out, and he then endeavored to procure a position as substitute in one of the companies stationed'at Fort Gaines, bat the Colonel' refuted to accept him, uofc believing him above the conscription age- lie then went over to Fort Morgan, where he was taken as a substitute; about two weeks after, he left his post and started for the Yabkee6.? Pursuit.was immediately made, and our men succeeded in catching him about sis miles from the fort. Upon bis person was found a plan of Forts Gaiues and Morgan, giving the strength of the forts and the number and size of the guns. He was court martialed and sentenced to death. The sentence has been approved by the President, aud bo will be shot on the 28th instant. After his capture, he confessed being a spy, aod gave the number of his regiment. The fact of this man being able to go at largo ftp: the length of time he evidently was, admonishes us to be oareful of all strangers who may come into.our lines. I If proper vigilance was'secured, dozens of I spies would be detected giving all the inj formation that le^ds to our reverses.

Crops | are represented as being unprecedented ; in yield?some bottom lands promising ! eighty bushels to the acre. Stock hogs are plenty, and well taken care of by the farmers, who are feeding carefully, and with j a view of avoiding hog cholera. The Iberia sail works have been in our possession for two months', and have been worked to the best advantage. Beef cattle are abun- i daut and in good condition. Take it all in all, the Trans-Mississippi department can take care of itself, and will possibly sweep the Abolitionists out of Missouri be- I fore we of the Middle Department do as ; much for Kentucky. It is gratifying to know that there are no 3ubmi3sionists there. Like Tennessecans, some of them have tasted tho sweets of Yankee rule, and will j have no more of it. 1 ?

LATEST NEWS, From Moms' Island. The furious .bombardment of Friday night resulted in a single casualty npon oar side, while it is believed, upon good authority, that our fire was in a high degree effectivq. On Saturday the quiet of thediprborwas undisturbed; save by ao occasional shell from battery Sim kins; but juit before nightfall the batteries opened opon each other with an acJiarnmeHt beyond anything that has been displayed in this tedious siege-.?

Nevertheless, up to half post 10 p. m. we had sustained a loss of two only. Private Smoke, of Company B, 20th Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers (Col.

On Friday night Private H. H. Carter, of the 8th Georgia lost a leg, and was badly wounded in the oth'er.

The Courier says : Our batteries succeeded in silencing one of the enemy's land batteries at an early part of the engagement. A shell from Fort Sumter fell among the Yankee gunners, whdwere seen to leave the work in disorder, many crawling off on their hands and koees. The enemy also fired some few shots at the steamer Sumter, but failed to strike her. ? - Morton, August 11.?Sherman has issued an order?a copy of which has been received here by flag of truce?claiming that as all the territory in Mississippi has been captured, it shall be regarded as neutral ground, and the people be allowed to peaceably deoldo, whether they are Unionists or Secessionists. Molestation by the Confederates will, it is threatened, be followed by Federal torch incursions. . From Charleston. All signs indicate that the great straggle for Charleston is at band.

This substitute system ought to be stopped, as it bas already done much mischief in our array.- From records i kept in the Adjutant General's office, we j learn that there have been received there | sixty thousand substitutes, in tbe place of unequal number of able bodied men, capable of beaaing-arms. Had these sixty thousand men been with Leo at Gettysburg, we should have had a treaty of- peace in progress before this. I am confident Congress, when it meets again, will take the matter in hand, and will put in the ranks all men ablo to do military duty whether they have jrooured cxemptiou by substitute i or otherwise The necessities of the coun- J try require every man to give not only bis ; property bat his persoo to the cause.

Now that' the call is extended to 45, thero are many who rejoice in the ripening aspect of grizzly I hair, and have just turned 46 ! At this i rate old age will soon overtake this class of I our population. Gen.

It Is regarded by the roads to be put In use .on this pi occasion as dangerous to run extra trains heavily hulcn with tl passengers. Jt Is, therefore, necessary that those on the up- ? iier portions of the roads should he in attendance very early tl in the morning, in time for' tlie regular freight train, or they f< might deliver the negroes the evening before to the agent, or P to the ltatlroad Agent, who is authorized to receipt for them. J>' IX. Charleston, it is hoped and believed, will soon be T impregnable. If so, the slave labor of the State will have a accomplished it. Labor is yet needed In large quantity to II secure this position. Tbc portion of tlie State now called ri on lins poiirhd out richest treasures of uoble blood on almost u every field.iii this war. Will it hesitate now, when so much a Is to be accomplished at so little sacrifice ? One earnest, tl combined effort mav put the State beyond danger. P WM. M. SHANNON, a Agent of the State of S.

It being the design of the . ecretnry of War, to prcveut competition between the Atntnissajifs of the dilfcrcnt States, I am instructed to roltiblt such interference in this Division, nml to prevent ie shipment of supplies by such agents, under any other utbority than that derived from this office, ami to impress ic same if nocessary. There is an urgent demand now, ir subsistence for th'c army, and it is to be hoped \lie.t the lanters will promptly eotnc.forwnrd and supply the agents, y sale, and thereby avoid the necessity for imiirtumcnti.? 'ho power of impressments should he cautidusly exerctscd nd with proper respect for the necessities of communities. t is not the design of the Government to Interfere with nailers, or others setting at a small advance on the "sclieoIc of prices?" at the ?ama time, speculators aud dealers re cautioned agait >t purchasing produce at higher rates ton those established by the Commissioners of thls-State, nd thereby offering competition, nnd wresting It from the mhorlsed agents.
