Coli Rudler (the emcieut Commandant of the j
Pout)-ami ihe officers of the Strathern Express
Company viii please accept our thanks for)
late papen and other favors conferred. We are ?
also indebted t? lady friend? far Charleston
parers.
Th? rodd to Jordan, or rather to Charleston,
??ems to be a hard one for the'travcler. We j
told our readers, a few days ago, that though
ingress to the cit}* migh^ be easy, and even
egress, yet tho route to it was exceedingly un?
even to the sore-footed. We 3rc now told that
some score or two of the adventurous citizens
of Columbia, on their way to the delights of
Tanka? and negro society in Charleston, have'
been arrested by oar scouting parties and sent
.-nek to the regions which they had abandoned. I
"fe believe that no person will be allowed to|
leave Columbia for the tabooed region without I
% passport from the city authorities, connter

Jor. JOHNSTON.-A despatch from Maj. Burr j
ea the Augusta Constitutionalist, dated at Char?

sepa, (Johnston,) with coat of many colors, has 1
done that which no other man can. We are on !
*be top rail. Everybody is confident of sue
*?*. Later.-?Johnston is fanning Sherman
teaatifuuy." Very good,'so far; but we trust
La will substitute the bruthing process for the
/emnin'g, and we shall not object if he should
perform the operation with all the~arts known
the fancy.

RjpirMoND, March 31.-A circular from Sec?
retary Trenholm, relative to donations to the

gathering strength for a supreme effort for om
subjugation, and we are called apon, by every
consideration of wisdom and patriotism, te
brin j: ?for th the entire resources of the country
to meet the approaching struggle. Among Ah?
deficiencies felt is the i Adequate public reae
nuc. There is neither dishonor nor danger ic
making this frans: avowal lo an intelligent and
pairiotip people. They will understand thi
difficulty, if not impossibility, ot executing th?
financia! schemes in our.'-gresent circumstances
?nd be willing io bear trials that result aspan
of the cost of that libertiy for which they baVi
so ireely shed theiivblood. Thj; revenue fron
taxation is.unequd to tile whole ^demand* o
th? year, nor can the collection thereof b
effc-ted iii time for immediate wants. Th
Trensuryjnust consequently continue for som'
time tobe straightened and thc publiceredit.o

it is uot d.'etnfcd incompatible with thc publi
dignity to accept a-free-will offering of. a gene
