Castle- ti man, of his command, is now in Columbia t] on a mission to our State, and the Central p Association has made a special appeal to y the people for aid in this- matter. M Gen. Morgan has every quality of a great q cavalry leader. Such men are rarely found, j< and the highest interest of our cause do- Q mands that he be restored to the field, and ? that speedily. - . It is the purpose of the General to re-or- ^ gabize his command. This cannot be done g without money. The wealthy*are asked to give liberally, to aid in the present effort to ^ equip the gallat t chief, whose name is a terror to the foe, and who, burning with ^ indignation for the wrongs recently inflicted t, is impatient to re-enter the field of his for- flj mer glory. 2 Committees have been appointed in each ^ District to co-operate with the Central Association in making collections for this pur- a pose. Hon. R. G. McCaw snd Col. W. C. w Beatty are the oommittee for York district. ^ We hope our citizens will contribute liber- e) alty, and, that it may be well done, do so ^ quickly. See the card of the Committee. t / ~?* ***** c, , TO THE PEOPLE OP YORK ?>IST> ^ The fact, that Gen. Morgan has escaped from the Yankee prison-bouse at Columbus, ^ and is again free on Confederate soil to do &I and dare in the cause of Confederate inde- ^ n/ peudence, is known to you. That money? vv the sinews of war?is needed to eqaip his bold and adventurous followers, will be Dl readily believed by you. Many, in differ- ss ent States of the Confederacy, are moving ^ efficiently in this behalf. The Central As- n eociation, at Colombia, has appointed the ^ undersigned to solicit contributions from the people of York. To accomplish this o object, we deeu it advisable to nominate p the following persons to call upon the citi- K zens of their respective sections, and collect the contributions to this patriotic cause &< , ?transmitting the funds received to us by g the 15th of February next?to wit: g William C.

When I left yon in Yorkville, on the 5th of the present month, to return to headquarters at Branohvillo, it was not without the expectation that the remaining compaaies of the 5th Regiment would be assign* sd to other fields of doty, but it seems ours [B) was the ohosen company to relieve one which has been guarding this post since the 10th of July last; their six- months | term of service has consequently expired. They are the. only company which was organized iu the 3rd Regiment, anij, strange 0 say, have with them Colonel Carew and 1 full staff. The Adjutant General, in his 'eport to the Legislature, at the late session, itated that the 3rd Regiment had failed to irganizo, as a sufficient number of votes tad not been polled'to warrant the oommision of Regimental, or even company offilers, and in reply to a resolution of Capt. ?c.T?Jn?? nTin flin Pooimnnf. mm dKJTT IJ j aOAiUg FT km J VIIW v?v* ? . .,w? lot organized, the Governor referred to the idjutant General's report, for all the infornation. How the pay of the Colonefand taff is to be arranged, is a question for Quartermasters, but Col.' Rhett, commanlant of the District, seems to have ignored hem, from all aooounts, but we find scarce wenty soldiers here, while the staff is compete every day, after business hours in Charleston, a special train running to and rom Charleston at 7 in the morning and eturning at 4 p. m. The men are mostly ubstitutes, some of them foreigners, who lo not seem to like to be relieved by "crackrs" from the up-country; who, while wiling to do their duty to the State, are pfoprly jealous of their rights, and chagrined o find the State humbugged as well as herasclves. Summerville is an important oint, bat at present it is a safe one, and et tbe Cbarlestonians, cannot afford to raste their precious time in duty there.? .'his Confederate money, so worthless as it j represented to be, is easily obtained it rould seem in some quarters, or at least rantonly expended. We left the companies at Branchville in ood health, and learn that they are afford* d a new exeroise, which substitutes the se for the firelock--we hope their works ill praise them. The measles, with some ;w cases of pneumonia has got among our iends at - Four Holes, while the other <Jeichments are getting along very well. Our tuation is a beautiful one, on the railroad^ 2 miles from Charleston, and one and a alf from the beautiful village of Summerille, which reminds us muoh of Greenville, -om its spacious lots and forest trees, bnt e see no shrubbery, no flower pots, or garen spots?those have been ignored, as veg:ation is supposed to chuse malaria; but lere are many pretty women around, and i their credit be it said, they are not enimbered with the butterfly-beaux that in*t most villages iu the State?we presume ley have noble-hearted fathers, husbands id brothers in the field, and Jthat their lougbts and duties are lent toward their imfort and welfaffe, while the hands that / lve been fashioned in tender schools, are. aw plying the distaff. God bless all such, iy we; others, more giddy, who may still utter in the tide of pleasure, will soon eough realize the bitterness of the cup they ave chosen. The cars arc very irregular in their trips f late, but no aocidents have occurred to assengers. Your stay-at-home readers ould be astouished to see the travel on the ire?up or down, night or day, they are Iways crowded, and the "ladies car" has ot to be an " institution," anything being ood enough for the privcrte soldier. Nerocs are no longer indispensable to railroad inning?the brakes-are now put inside the irs, and " nice young men" are found lenty as blaokberries to tend them when re whistle blows. This may be considered erogatory to broadcloth, but a cloak covers hat, and the degrading position covers lore, an exemption from' military service, n faot the Enrolling offioer should have a ;at in the cars, and if the law will only mpower him to conscript all between the ges of IS and 40 who are employed as onductors, baggage-masters, brakes-men, remen, post office clerks, provost guards, ithe collectors, commissary sub-agents, &c., ^nflrmca ??GTT Anon ^nnra on/1 louvn fVio 'uu6 "-DO ""V "f ^ .v?.w I onscription and exemption bills on the ta- j le for another three years. This thing ie j tolerable, and the roads are breaking j fown under the weight of the evil. Smoke j ut the rats! If no exigency occurs, our organizatidb, j r Regiment at least, will be disbanded on he 15th of February, when the term for phich we were called out expires, as the ailing out the conscripts by that time will f itself disorganize us. The enemy are still plainly heard shelling way at the good old city. Should they mm it up, we hope the scoundrels who lave been aiding the Yankees by their inendiary acts may find a ? place in the picure." We aro all well here, and looking nxiously for some of our furloughed friends it home. Send them on to us, and believe is, ' Yours, E. j - ' Summp.rville, S. C., Jany. 23,1862. j This morning opens on us with a heavy fog, which but illustrates the foggy Bitua- j ion of affairs in the camps of the State froops, more particularly this of oura. To I begin with a conclusion, the whole State < Troop, organization has been a humbug, it j has unnecessarily called the farmers of tbo I up-country from their ploughs,-the mechan- i io from his shop, while the professional I men of the low country, have smuggled themselves, with their understrappers, .who are properly conscripts, for the most part, into commissions and useless details. Many of those having had a taste of the publio 1 plunder are hard to wean, and it is probable ' they will not be weaned, until Gen. Beau* 1 regard will look more minutely into the 1 humble details* by whioh he is surrounded, for it seems a current fa<?t here, that it is < hard to reach "the other side of Jordan.1' 1 A few facts as to our situation here will ( reach the publio through your columns, and it is well they should be apprised of the mimiory of war, as well as the relation of 1 its sad realities. The term of service of the 1 company whioh had been stationed at this place Bince-tbe lUth of July last, naying 1 expired on the 10th of January, by its own limitation, an order was sent by Gen. Bean- 1 regard to Col. Williams, of the 5th Regiment, now at Branchville, and adjacent ' points, to send .one or two companies to re- 1 lieve this point, and assume the command. Capt. Lowry's being the largest, and he be- 1 ing best fitted in the opinion of Col. Wil- 1 liams for thev responsibilities of the post, ' (as* the sequel will show) was detailed for the purpose, and reached the point in due < season, where he found Col. Carew and staff, 1 with about a dozen men, the latter retained 1 r * , against their will and disorganized, and the former determined if possible to hold on 1 to his position, and us too, if in his power. < To effect this be managed to have that part of the order placing Col. Williams io command of the post revoked, arid then requires Captain Lowry to report to him, which Colonel Williams strictly forbids; and so the matter staads for the present, (though the wiies are working) we reporting to our Head Quarters; and drawing onr rations on said reports. This taste for office, or its emoluments, has probably been onltivated like that of the Irishman in his song; he had to be baited with whiskey to his mother's p^p, which has created an attachment for "the ardent" ever since. Our term of servioe expires on the 1st of February when it is probable the men will will go home, and thus settle the naughty question?if an '{exigency" oocurs, they are willing to ?o their share of the fighting, or guarding, if need be, but under their own officers, line and regimental, which the 1 laws of the State gave them a right to elect, s The Provost Guard has an easy time r} ? ? ? ?

What a pity ho cannot receive ' the appointment-r-we will spare him willingly. t Tho firing about Charleston has modcr- * ated, considerably, and we seldom hear a t gun now j however, the bombardment is go- t iog on, with occasional fire, that requires a the men of the State Troops there stationed c to be detailed to work the engines, the glorious hundreds of Firemen, who are ex- i empted for the purpose, always coming up 2 missing. . ] Notwithstanding the great "want of trans- J portation," a tram of cars runs reguiarjy i between Charleston and Summerville, from 0 7 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, but if soldiers are to bo transferred from one v point to another, or salt is wanted by the 1 up-country, dirty box cars must suit the -t one, and a pressure of business defeats the 1 other. Yet the Rail Road managers are allowed to employ conscript labor, and t charge what they please, while they can se- ? cure labor at any price that will keep the } employee out of the war. p This "letter is of rather a caustic charao- e ter, but desperate diseases require desperate remedies, and if but ono sore is enred on i the body politic, my aim is accomplished, fc The health of our company is very ex- t cellent, as I learn also that of our friends t at Four Holes.

Beauregard's atten- ( tion to a copy of the same. If Gen. B. t would Bave himself some trouble, and the t Confederacy the expense of paying innu- I merable officers of imaginary Regiment, he o will say "wayward brothers depart in peace," or the wayward brothers may take Frenoh < leave of him?"in case no exigency occurs." r Our men are glad (o see that our wealthy s citizens who had no corn to sell to the sol- ii diers wives around them, 1076" had their t chords of sensibility touched sufficiently to feel for the suffering Charlestonians. May their oribs, like the widows meal ohest never be found empty, when a stranger knooks at the door. E. ? A fire occurred in Columbia on the 19th insc., whioh destroyed cotton and other property valued at from two to three millions of dollars. Some 700 bales . of the cotton belonged to the Confederate Government. There was about $750,000 insured. ? Triuity (Episcopal) Church, Abbeville, contributed $200 50, and the citizens of the town $180 more, 'for the purpose of equipping Gen. Morgan and his command for the field. ?

As you say) there is some diffioatyin cooking onr raitions.

Gen, Lee Pardons.?The Richmond correspondent of fhe Colnmbas Sun says j that General Lee pardoned the other day, jast as the sentence was about to be executed, a deserter, condemned to be shot. His reason for so doing was to encourage the wives of all soldiers to aot as the wife of this man had done. When the offioers came in search of him she promptly delivered him np, saying it was her duty, in spite of her love for bim, and the sufferings and hardships she endured in consequence of. his absence, to send him bock to the army that so much needed him in this hour of the country's tribulation. For her sake, General Lee spared him. Let other wives take note. Re-Enlistment.?We are very much gratified, says the Guardian of the 21st, to learn that Strahl's Brigade, and Cheatham's Division, of the army of Tennessee, have volunteered for a new enlistment -after the expiration of their present term, to the end of the war. Cfte movement towards re-en- j listmentwas started last week by the 154th ; senior, Tennessee Regiment, which is enti- 1 '1 1 ' 1 ~-4 i ?a no of I tied to great praise, uut uuy ivi iw achievements, which have boon glorious, but for this noble step. Hf?? ? Anticipations.?We candidly believe, says the Atlanta Rebel, that we have, in the fatnro prospetft, everything to encourage us to hopefulness and exultation, and not the slightest reason to despond. Grant is ais near Atlanta aa he will ever get, unless he comes as a prisoner of war, whioh is v* no means unlikely, if he attempts an advance^ Meade will never see the spires of Riobmond, or Gillmore the inside of Charleston. The Yankees may annoy and injure us by unexpected raids, but any considerable advance into our territories, with large armies, is an impossibility, so long as Lee, Johnston and Beauregard stand wardens at the portals of the Republic. Who js She??The latest dates from Havana report that the steamer Morning Star, which left New York on the 16th ult., was closely pursued the next day near Cape Hatteras, by a rebel oruiser, of English build, a propeller, lying low in the water, carrying two masts and an unusually high smoke stack.

It is moved and seconded that all persons who leave the Confederacy, slipping across the lines into the enemy's country, or sailing in blockade runners to foreign ports, in order to avoid Conscription, and thereby leaving the perils and trials of the conflict to be met by those who remain, while they look on tho struggle from a safe distance, be and the same are hereby declared to be ipso facto expatriated, now, henceforth and forevermore ;*and that the property of all such renegades be confiscated and divided, on the return of peace, among the most needy and deserving soldiers who have fought out the war. All in favor of the motion will say, aye. "Aye I aye !! aye-e-e !!! " It is unanimously adopted. It is also moved that every such renegade detected in attempting to escape, be immediately relieved of all his portable funds, j and that said funds be given to some Soldiers' Md Society?and the culprit himself be stripped to a pair of breeohes and a standing collar, and assigned to duty in some garrison from whioh he cannot escape.

The Bight Way to Feel.?When Crawford, of penitentiary notoriety, commanded the Federal renegade East Tennessee troops stationed at KogersviUo, he went to John Youngfe and mounted night-of his young negroes. Forming them in front of the house, he called Yoaog oat and inform* ed him that he mast take off his bat and cheer for Lincoln. Five minates were allowed bim to decide between death and a compliance-, with the order. Mm. Ford, Mr.- Young's daoghter, oarae oat and Baid to her father, "don't do it, father. Let them shopt. I hgd rather see you dead than, know that you had cheered for Lincoln" Mr. Yoaog quietly requested bis daughter to feel no uneasiness about him, toTetire to j the bouse, for he would not j obeer for Lincoln, or do anything that would i dishonor, his family. '"Pluck will win," thought the dastards; and Mr. Yoaog neither oheered for Lioooln, nor was killed.? Mr. Young is a man of the right stamp;.

Deep vs. Shallow Ploughing.?-A committee of the Illinois State Agricultural Society, in making their "Report on Farms," visited by thorn, says : ! "In making oar examination through the State, we took very partioalar pains to inquire diligently into the different modes of cultivation, and to observe the results; and in every instance, we fonod they were, getting big crops where they were ploughing deep; and where the system of shallow ploughing was .pursued they had light crops. - Another thing connected with deep culture was, that the extremes of wet or diy weather had far l&s effect thau when they ploughed shallow. Again, with every roan that ploughed deep, we found that tbo hard times did not seem to affect him, and we oame to the conclusion that the hard times lay within 4 inches of the surfaoe, and all who plough 8 to 10 inches deep soon root them out. , ? When at Quincv, we called on Gov. Wood, and saw what can bo done in growing trees. He showed ns Chesnat trees that were of his own planting, two feet in diameter. After these trees oommcnoed bearing, he planted O.hesnnts from them, of his own growing, and from this second generation he has now trees that bear ten bushels each." #brtnarg.
