Last Friday evening a squad of warworn veterans from the army of Virgm; ia, reached our town. They remained "gWf Sunday morning when orders from below hastened their departure. After an hundred battles on Virginia Boil, these men have Been called to the defence of their own State; and glad the welcome South Carolina offers her reUfPumg veterans, in this her hour of sore^triab and peril. Among them, were many familiar faces from our own District. They were ' Received becomingly by our citizens, and . their brave cheerful faces, lighted up wonderfully the hearts of aH. Let our people remember that the au" WWWpiies at ^c^montl have not forgotten them ;.and that many of the absent * sons of our dear old State are gathering from other battle fields for her rescue. They bring strong arms and brave hearts to her defence. -Many Of our choicest jewels are here?the dashing cavalier?the brave rifleman, and artillerist?are gathered in battle array, to bear vthe banner and shield of their I State, in defence of their own hearthstones. ^ SHEBMAN'S ADVANCE. . Ottr latest advices from the Coast indicate that Sherman had probably begun in earnest, his oampaign for the subjugation of South C&roHna. He is reported' to be moving rapidly on Branchville, in two columns, and if the repent bad weather does not impede his march, will probably strike his first blow there, in a few days more. heligvc hfi has taken upon.himself a henry task, and one, "the success of which, South Carolina, with the assistance given her, has the power to defeat. The, old State J& filly aroused, %pd her armed legions are swarming to the front from every distriot in her borders. She has not been left to combat ( alone in thi^ grand trial of strength, but the tried veterans of other .victorious fields, bring us strength, courage a^d ^>pe. But we must not fold our irnd ictty speculate upon the result of lie battle when it oames. There are aoc&ptable duties all can perform. Bet those who cannot fight hold up the hand? of those who can. v Let no effort that human agency can contrive* be spared, to deal pne crushing blow to the proud invader, ere his footsteps pollute 'the soil <tf our homes, and desecrate their purity. This is the first time in the history of this War, that an invading army has ' passed our frontier. Its- blows have only Men oh our ?hie!d heretofore, ;ahd loft us unharmed. Eor nearly six hundred days,1 brave old Sumter and Moultrie have Stood the storm of shot and shell thaf fell harmless from their battlements. Charleston .stands, although an hundred guns have rained their missiles upou her for a score of months. They fell harmless upon her bosom, and with the exception of a few buildings burned and ^battered, she j&taijds as -proudly now, a^ .when the first hostile bolt was launched sgajwt her. We trust to stronger bulwarks than brick and mortar, in the coming struggle. Our faith rests confidingly in the invincible resolution of thosebr.ave men who have recently declared ''that while the Confederacy can give them cartrid ges they wUl not relinquish tne contest for freedom and independence." Let this noble spirit animate our people at heme, as well as-those at the fronts and we have but little to fear frpm the invasion of Our State. * 'L . : Southern Presbyterian contains a correspondence between the Eon.

' SjNKKTG THH PAlAPSCO IN..OHA?I^S-' ton HARjBOR.?A letter from Hilton Head, South Carolina, dated the .17th; gives an account of the sinVing of ihe monitor "Patapsco" in ^ChaxlesjfQnbarbor by a.torpedo. .It says ; ' . . For some time past the navy has been engaged in removing toayedoW'^flm CbjirfAaf nTi harbor hi? drdcrcrtnor for them in small boats. Since the capture of Savannah, the work has been gfeatly increased, as the rebels haye sown torpedoes in the harbor in the greatest number, to prevent the' navy from aiding in the siege of Charleston that they expect Sherman to inaugurate. Last night as usual, a number of boats were sejntup to drag for these inlprnal x$d-'. chin^V, and the monitor patapscoi Lieutenant Commander Quaokenbush, was sent up to a point near fort Sumter to covey fhe Boafe. She came to an anchor, and the regular watches werp" stationed as usual at their respective places. . Nothing unusual occnrred unfil the Patapsco swung . to an ebb tic|e, ait about 2 o'clock in tne'morning, whip she passed over a torpedo, exploded it, and went to the bottom like a piece of lead,.Parrying down with her severS officers ^and about sixty men.. Five officers, Lieutenant Commander Quackenbush, Lieutenant Sampson, executive oftcerEngineer Ryan and nnothep, .engineer, and about twenty mep on wat^h, were saved. Ensign Johnson, son of |he fleet Surgeon, was lost; the Paymaster, Surgeon, two watch qftoers ana the balance of the engineers were lost.. * ?-?, A Generalissimo. The Augusta ConstiHttionafyt, referring to the universal desire that General Lee Should be constituted Comman dcr-in-Chief of all the armies of the Confederacy says: But though thg Toioe of the people be not ipfUlible, we are | persuaded that there are times when its concentrated and nndissentient volume | is both respectable and proper, both invincible Mid inspired. In the season of danger when old things have been essayed and found inmracticable, it behooves a wholesome Government to heed | the advisory whisker of friend and enemy aiiie. Such a time, in our judgment, has eventuated to these Confederate States, and the voice of the people is such that it must not be unheeded. * A correspondent states, on the jmthority of Mr- Trenholm, that the aggregate debt of the Confederate Government, including its bonds and noteB, is. in round numbers, one billion and a Half; or at a ratio of twenty for one, $75,000,000 in gold. The bonds are' interest bearing property, and are safe investments so long as the Government can pay the interest on them. Seventy-five millions of dollars in gold, therefore, has been the entire expenditure of the Government since its inauguration. But few of the people are aware of the fact that in-four years of independence and expensive wart the Southern StateB have expended only about one-third more on themselves than they previously annually paid into the United States Treasury. Such is the conclusion^ of figqres, wjiich never deceive. Were it not for the nrice of blood we have paid, it would be; almost as cheap to fight the Yankees as to fraternize with them. ?r r, _ nan . t ~ r _ <j Lee's Army to be Paid Off. Four millions ollreasury notes have been received at the Department to pay off the soldiers of General Lee's army, and the fund will be distributed and' paid out as rapidly as possible. This, will be good news for the soldiers, who-' have suffered very much from tfre't&dir ness of the paymasters. ^ . > i' . . * * t "r - from (n." c.) cgofedmte. .
