A Nfav Remedy for Small Pox.? The Columbia Guardian says : Wm. Summer, Esq., of Pomaria, widely known as an horticulturist, and for curious research into the secrets of nature, sends us the following suggestion and inquiry : J. lie aaraccnia purpurea, ^sunieuines known as Siilo Saddle Jlag}~) has been much ! landed in the English medical journals for | the cure of small pox, counteracting the violence of the disease and completely preventing pitting, &c. The Surgeon General at Richmond, as well as the able and efficient surgeon in charge?Dr. F. Peyre Porcher?of the South Carolina Hospital at Petersburg, Ya., have both written me to endeavor to procure a supply of the roots to test its efficacy in th$ treatment of small pox, which has caused the death of many of our brave soldiers. Some years since it was found growing abundantly in the vicinity of Columbia and in Lexington, and I think at Ridgeville, on the S. C. Road. It is hoped that some persons desirous of aiding in this important effort will emdeavor to procure supplies and forward to the Surgeon General's office at Richmond, Ya., where all expenses will be paid, gr, if convenient, send to Dr. J. J. Chisolm, Columbia, who will forward. When Aristotle was asked what were the advantages of learning, he replied : "It is an ornament to a man in prosperity, and a refuge in adversity." r The Blockade.?The Riohmond Examiner, says : It is understood that measures h?7e reeently, and very positively, been recommended to Congress to take the private cotton in the Confederacy. The particular necessity of tlya measure is said to be that the Government oannot carry on its European trade (whioh, in?faot, has grown to be so large and important that the organization of a separate bureau, attaohed to the War Department, has keen recommended to eonduct it), at the present runinous rates of freight and exohange in Confederate money. So.excessive have become the rates of freight and exohange that, on calculation, it was found that the mere oharge, independent of the cost of the oargo, for the freightage of a steamer of three hundred tons, from the West India islands to one of. our ports, were to the Government upwards of two millions of dollars in its currency. Under these circumstances, the Department has not hesitated to inaugurate the plain policy of evading the blockade with steamers purchased and run by its officers. 'With the additional steamers, which the contracts with the Government, or tho temptations of private gains has brought into the trade, it is believed that the blockado may be evaded, so far as to add,greatly to our resources abroad, from the exportation of nnd ?? UnnK in flin StinnlifiD nAAI^A^ nuu IU uiiu^ iu ^ ^ by the Government. ? ?* ?! r?? Railroad Tbanspobtation.?The principal railroads in the. Confederacy are now Bddalously engaged in endeavoring to inoreaso iheir stocks, and to provide for the contingencies of future service or loss.? Under the delusive expectation of anjearly termination of the war, the railroad companies have, heretofore, relied almost wholly on their existing stook, and. made but* few efforts at supply or reparation, scarcely husbanding their resources, which, under the exhausting demands made npon them, have become greatly diminished. Of late, with more experience, a wiser prescience seems to guide their management.. In difI/ivjms* nnvto ftf ftiA Prtnfn/1 nvooTT irrtn ta nmw iCSvuv vvuiwu^iayj uuu u uvn being provided and rolled for maohinery, and tbe construction and repair of locomotives and rolling stock. Tbe Secretary of War has recommended that skilled mechanics be furnished from the army for some of the more delicate machinery needed by the railroads. The railroad transportation is of incalculable importance to the Confederacy. Shut oil from the sea, and with command of very few of its rivers, the Confederacy is dependant, almost wholly, on the railroads for communication and transportation. - 9S* The report of the Superintendent of Conscription was presented to the House of Representatives, on the 12thc instant, showing the number of officers and soldiers Engaged in the exeoution of the Conscript law, in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

The. deities of the Conscript Bureau besides enrolling'the Conscripts) extend to the arresting pad returning of deserters and absentees, the number of whom now are very great, and matters of furloughs and details outside of 1he army, which alone amounts to 13,000. Lincoln Gold at Wobk in the South. ?The Buleigb, (N. C.,) State Journal says: J > "It is a fact, about which .there is no doubt in the nriods of men who haro'Observed the manoeuvres of the Lincoln administration and cortain mercenary classes of traitors in the Sonth, that there has been and is now expended -immense sums of money in the Confederacy, to corrupt and finally betray the Southern people into tho hands of the Yankees. We desire at present merely to call the attention of the people of North Carolina to the matter, and ask them to keep their eyes open and direct them to cortain classes and persons and newspapers apparently abovo suspicion.

Tel a heroic ancestry rnsM from our valleys and desoended from our hills, trusting in God, resolved to perish rather than survive as slaves, and they drove our conquerors from the soil; and so we can do, even should our lands be overrun by vandals. ? ' ? Imporj^nt Oreter.--General Lee has issued an order granting a furlough of thirty days to every enlisted man who shall furnish a recruit for the war liable to miliI tary duty.

York Times says: The Count Montholon, formerly Consul General of France at New York, has just sailed for Vera Cruz, as Minister to Mexico. M. Pe Montholon takes with him as First Secretary the young Count Pe Chateaubraiand, a worthy son, it is said, of an illustrious sire. M. Pe Montholon had frequent interviews with the Emperor and Foreign Secretary bofore his departure, but the nature of his instructions have not transpired. To put you on your gaurd, however, I should say that the new Minister constantly expressed the opinion here that a re-union in the United States wot an impossibility. ? Gen. Lee Rebukes a Lady.?The Richmond correspondent of the Columbus (Ga.) Sun writes: While here, Gen. Lee rebuked a beantifal lady, who gave him a fine dinner, for her extravagance, saying that oitizens ought to be ashamed to indulge their appetites while soldiers in the field were living on a quarter of a pound of bacon per day. It is said he has declined the offer of a house tendered him by the oitizens of this place; and yot his family and those of his nearest relatives are known to be in straightened circumstances. Iron-Clads.?-The Washington corresrespondent of the St. Louis Republican, says: The foundering of the Weehawken in a gale off Charleston harbor is regarded as an incident of the gravest importance here.? Eighteen months ago, the writer was informed by a prominent "naval constructor," who had an important professional conneowith the original monitor, that snoh vessels were "altogether unseaworthy." Meeting him yesterday, and roferring to tlie facts of the Weebawken, he replied : "Yes, that's two gone, and all the rest will follow whenever they are caught in a heavy sea and don't have a tag to pall them oat of the waves-" Diabolical Affair.?It is positively asserted that the Major who oommanded the Yankees captured by Gen. Jones a few days since in Lee oounty, was guilty of the most diabolical affair thai has transpired in that part of the country since tho war commenced. -He has been proven gailty of committing rape upon one of the most virtuous ladies in Lee oounty. He was not sent^'on to Riohmond," But is now confined in irons at Abingdon. The 2d U. S.

Morgan's Men.?The editor of the Mobile Register has been shown a letter whioh states that 88 more of .Morgan's men had. escaped from captivity, and nearly all of them are safe in "Dixie." These Morgan men are as hard to keep as. they arc to catch. Revision op Exem ptions.?The Richmond Examiner says: By instructions, issued from'the Adjutant Grenefal's office, all exemptions heretofore granted will be revised by the officers of the c'ouscription.? If fo'and to be improper, or unauthorized by law, they will be at ouce revoked. The African Race.?The Rev. Dr. Tyng, of New York, has lately ventilated the following: "The African race is the embodiment of the highest type of humanity, and that as the emotions are superior to the intellect-, so iv the African, the superior of the Can oasaian." Yenly, faDatioism is- a great institution. ? ? - r ? HSf The Toroato Ledger relates that on Monday last a Buffalo steam tag, with two scows in tow, got too far into.the oarrent of Niagara river, jast above the falls, for the head of'steam on, and tbo captain and orew of four men beooming alarmed leaped overboard and made for the shore. The captain and three men succeeded in gOttiog.to land, bnt the fourth man sank beneath the leaping and boiling waters, and was carried over the awfal cataract. Some men in one of the soows were rescued by two boatmen who pot off in a skiff to their assistance. .The tag and one soow went, over the falls, bnt the other soow strnok on a rook jost above tbo brink and remains there. A Good Dodqb.?Ayonng man in California, whose friends had ceased to correspond with him, woke up on interest by sending letters to business men in his native place, inqniring the price of a tolerably sized farm* Seven affectionate letters came from the friends by the return pest, and two or three a day have come ever since, including one from an old (and cold) sweetheart. Oua Female .Wbitbrs.?The Atlanta Reaister. noticing a proposition that a Con vention of Southern female writers be held soon, says : The South ought to feel proud of her female writers. Her daughters of song and prose are numerous. What an imposing sight to witness in convention, the polished Mrs. L. Virginia French, of Tennessee; the fascinatipg Mrs. Mary E. Brian, of Louisiana; the accomplished Madame LeVert and Miss Evans, of Alabama; the elegant Miss Dargan, of South Carolina; Miss Annie R. Blount, and Mrs. McCrimmon, of Georgia; and the gifted and bright eyed Miss Mollie E. Moore, of Texas, with others from tbo old North State, the old Dominion, the land of dowers and other States It would present an array of in: telligencc and ability far superior to'that of | any other assembly. We move that a convention bo held. More novels, histories, and poeirfs, says the Carolinian, have been written at the South durinf^the last two years than within any previous ten.
