Boggs, of Pickens District, an ac count of whose arrest by the Block Republi can Police of York, soaie of our readers may have recently seen. Mr. Boggs has been spending the last two years at the German Uni versities, and on his return by the Bremen packet, was arrested iu New York anaer the pretest of bis beinc the bearer of de*n??.<?ln>? Jeff. Davis. Being summarily conveyed to the headqnartera of tlie Police, he bad to undergo the infliclion of an impertinent examination at the hands of Superintendent Kenned}'. Noth ing wasfound on his person to sustain the charge and he was released. Having letters of intro* duction to Mayor Wood, be called upon that functionary who expressed very freely his condemnation of the unwarrantable action of the police?with whom by the way he has no official connection. He also had the pleas ure of making the acquaintance of Beoj. Wood. M. Cm the editor of that sterling jour nal, the Daily JVcict. Mr. Boggs returned by way of Louisville. lie taw enough on tbo route to conYince him of the dc^p seated hostility ot the Northern peo ple to us and to our institutions?and of their systematic efforts to traduce and malign us.? In New York city -he saw placards posted along the streets, designed to cxcite the Irish against u*, by the slanderous, charge that we had massacred in cold blood their brethren who bad been taken prisoners at Mattossas. THE CONFEDERATE LOAN, The subject of the Confederate Loan was again brought to tho attention of our citizens on Monday last, and a strong appeal in b?-lialf of the enterprise wa? made by the Cominiteion ere. Edward Noble, E^q, one of the Commission ers, who wee tbeent from the District, oa the previonaSule Day, said that he felt asanred, that the citixcns of Abbeville needed no urgent appeals to the liberality and patriotism, to en list their rympathy and prompt eo operation in this scheme of snataining the OoverDoaent.?^ He bsi lately been in the Weat. where men wer? offering themselves and toothers their on<v upon the altars of their country, and with whom property was the mere dust of the balance, when Wcighwf against daty and triot&m ; and he felt aseur?d that bfe fellow uiuhib wodm mvm behiod tlKU ? patriotic* ( devotion, and Mltaacrifice.

Th? prevailing imprereion among those wlio are best informed is, that we are manly on th* threshold of a great struggle, and that our In dependence cau only b? achieved by the low of many lives and Mi? expenditure of much treasure. With regard to the result, not a doubt is entertained; but as to the final con summation, the g'oriru* achievement, the feel ing is one of exultant confidence. Six millions of freemen fighting in defence of their altars and firesides are invincible by any force that the enemy can bring against them. But the u?uau ?uh munti uiKiuar, 111 wnit price the victory is to be purchased, liow great ere to be our sacrifices, nod though what scene* of ra pine stid of blood, wo tnay be callcl to win our way to Independence, We liava to deal with an enemy of great resources?strong in money and in mon?proudly confident in his own strength, and in bis ability to subdue us That enemy lias been ignominiously routed' but his strength is yet unbroken, his spirit un. subdued, and defeat perhaps will on!}' quicken the preparations to retrieve it. the reputation of their Statesmen, the honor of their Generals, the character of their aoldiery, the spirit of their people, are all smarting under tho odium of a d sgraceful rout, and they are more or leas than men if they do not mnkc another iflfori to retrieve what they have lost, and to win back victory to tboir standard. Congress has committed lo tho Executive the purse and the sword, and we may well believe that as long as Lincoln is able to fill th? one by forced loans or direct taxation, or wield the other by an army drafted into the service, ao long will the war be vigorously prosecuted. Tho relic tion mny enrae, but tha eud is not yet?the spirit of the people is yet unsubdued, and nothing but disastrous defeat will be able to quell their mad fanaticism, and IimI for con qucsi. i^ei mem raiij1 tueir lorcea?onr prep aration shall bo commensurate with their*. Our voluntary contribution (hall distance their forced exactions, and five hundred thou sand of our hardy sons will defeat, "A multitude, like which the populous North, Pour'd never from her frozen loins, to pass Rheno or the Danaw, when her barbarous sons Came like n deluge on the South, and spread Beneath Gibraltar to the Lybian sands." It is probable that, the Confederate Congress will increase our force in the field to 500,000 troops. This number has been recommended l>3* the Secretary of War, and we aee that Con gress has already pawed a bill providing for a largo increase of the army?the provisions of which have not been disclosed. The Confed erate States can easily raise 500,000 troopa? 10 per ctnt. upon their white population will give the number. The white population of our State is a little ov?t 300,000, and 10 per cent, upon this number woidd fix our contribu tion at 30,000. A large army muat be raised, auu truuu uue expeciea 10 Dear nis purt, It is only in this way that the conflict is to be brought to a speedy close, and our Independ ence achieved. Lei no one among us capable of bearing arms calculate upon exemption.? Our country calls for it? btrong arms and stout hearts. "The Phil istines oro upon u?," and we must etrikc [for our liberties. THE WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT. During a recent visit to Washington, Geor gia, we had the pleasure of calling on and stop ping villi our friend, Sin. Wm. Qk.nry Wilson, formerly of this Office, and we were pleased to find the Independent in so good a condition. ( That Mb.

The Public Vesting on Xontiay. AdcoVding to previous notice, one of the lar gest anil most enthusiastic meetings of our citi xens, which wo have ever witnessed, assembled in the Court House on Monday last, to hear from Oen. S. McGowon and Col. James C. Calhoun, who had recently returned from Vir ginia, a narrative of the glorious achievements of our arms on the soil of the Old Domiuioc, and an exposition of the great emergencies of the present crisis. Several ladies wero present to give additional interest to the occasion, and to unite with a thousand manly forms in e< pressing their unfaltering devotion to the great ii>uinj?men eympaiuy witu the toils and pri vations of ihc soldier, (lieir appreciation of Lis sacrifices, nod their joyful participation in bis triumpliaut successes. Oa motion of Thomas Thomson, Esq., the Hon. A. Burt was oalled to the Chair. A Committee consisting of Messrs. Thomson, Wideman, and Connor was then appoiuted by the Chair, to wait upon the Speakers, and to signify the desire of the meeting. Col. Jamea C. Calhoun, late an Aid to Gov ernor Pickens, was first introduced to the meet ing, and proceeded to give, in an easy and at tractive style, a very clear nnd interesting nar rative of tho late campaign in Virginia?the i retreat from Fairfax C. II., and the various in cidents of the succeeding battles of Blackburn's Ford aud 8loue Bridge. Being attached to Col. Bacon's Regiment, which was not actively engaged in tho last great battle, ha would leavo it to the descriptive powers of his friend Gen. McGowan, to do justice to that glorious victory, and would ccnfino himself to the transactions of the preceding days. The speaker gave, a very graphic sketch of tho retreat from Fairfax C II. on Wednesday, the 18th July, and did full justice to the ord?r anO regularity, the coolness nnd determination with which that lueinuraoio luiiron oi ouw men was concfncted in the pre^ncc of an overwhelming foe. The pressing columns of tho advancing enemy quickened their steps, and as the speaker liu morously remarked, our troops without running managed at least tu da lomo "pretty tall walk ing." The day was hot and dusty, and several fell on the way-side, from the effects of sun stroke, until travel worn and hungry the South Carolina troops reached Mitchells Ford, on Bull Run, where they proceeded to throw up en trenchments, and for six hours toiled arduously, and with that spirit which only the presence of danger can evoke. The speaker here gave an interesting sketch of this position, and the na ture of tho country around?tho low banks of the creek, occupied by our troops, and covered with forest growth?npen the opposite side the precipitous ground swelling to a declivity in the distance. Upon this bill the enemy sta tioned himself in force on Wednesday morning* and opened his cannonade upon us with hissing shot and bursting shell. The first few shot fell with wonderful accuracy, but afterwards they went wildlv nvpr nnr -- . -?^ r ??oui?Kc. This wm attributed to ihe fact that the forests ooncealcd our location from the observation of the enmiy, and (bus prevented his obtaining the proper range for his guns. This attack, bow ever, iraa a mere feint; the main attack being directed against Oen. Longstreet's Brigade, at Blackburns Ford, on tho right of our position, Of this battle the speaker gave a very interest ing sketch?the roar of the musketry, the booming of the cannon, the three successive charges and repulseB of the enemj?the final rout and decisive victory. Be concluded with some very forcible observations upon the ruth' less character of the invasion, and the untold borrora which wftuld attend our subjugation. Gen. MoGow&n next addressed the assembly, and those who are familiar with the leading characteristics of his oratory, need not be told that his clear and accurate perceptions, his ready and retentive memory, his imagination and pathos?" the breathing thoughts" and " buruing words," found full scope iu the reeilal o( the moviug incidents of the late glorious bat tle fields of Virginia. For nearly two hours, the eloquent speaker held the audience 1u rapt, eager itteution, aa with graphic skill he preaented a rivid narrative or the exciting scene#, which ho liad witneaaed, or by aorae atirring outburata of reeling evoked applau?e, or with aome well-tim ed anecdote, provoked contagioua mirth. Ilia friend, Col. Calhoun and himaelf were both, he uiid, attached to the army of Gen. Beauregard, &nd under the instruetiona of-that Commander, he would not be able to enlighten the audience ta to the number and poeition of our troops in Virginia.

It waa certainly worthy of the geniua of Scott, and if properly seconded by hia subordinates, would probably hare turned the fortunes of the day. On the morning of the 21st? the speaker was dispatched by Gen. Bonham to reconnoitre, and plncing his ear near the ground, diatinctly heard the sound of the "Grand Ariny" in motion?the tramping of stred*, the clanking of sabrea, and the rumb ling of the artillery. Hastening back to Don ham, ha thence conveyed the information to Beauregard at Mnnasaa*. and by that General was despatched with orders to Jackson, to hasten I on hi* reserves to the Siono Bridge. At thnt I point th? attack was a mere feint, whilst tlio main body crossed atSudle)'* Ford, above, with the attention of turning our left flank. Like an overwhelming flood, that heavy oolumu, eight men deep, came down on Gen. Ev*n*' email but heroic band. The reeervee of Bee, Bartow ?nd Jackson were successively brought to sus tain him, and tlfe buttle rnged with vsryiugeuo cee?, until the oharge of Kershaw on the enemy* left flank, and (hat of Kirby Smith upon hia right, completed hia disoomflture, and turned hi* columna into an indiscriminate mass of fugi live*. The speaker gave a graphic sketch of that retreat, which diatauced even the F- F. V's. and tuld many amusing incidents of aoeuea by the wayside. The importance of the victory he thought it difficult to overestimate ; but it did not end the war. It would but provoke renewed preparation en the paitof our enemies, which we -must megt with men aud money. We must meet the crinis like men, or be forever slaves. Sooner than suffer the degradation of defeat and sub. jugation, we must pour oqt the InBt drop of blood on taa altar of onr nnnnfm-'o Spbctatob. VIRGINIA LETTER. The following -extract* from a letter, dated Cliarlotleavillo, August 1st, may be of some in terest to the ladiep whose sympathy has been roused in behalf of our sick and wouuded sol diers : After various changes we have finally settled down at this place. For want of a good board ing place we could not remain at Culpep per. The hospital at which Dr. Green de sired our services cannot be completed be fore the middle of the month. Our arrival in Richmond having been published, the Rev, Mr. Barnwell, who was in Columbia, telegraph ed to Richmond for us to wait for him, or go on to Charlottesville. Not hearing of us in Richmond, as we did not receive his dispatch, he sent a telegram to Orange C. H.. to atoD us there. Failing in tbat he followed us on to Culpepper, and just took possession of Mrs. B. and myself and all the boxes, and brought back to this point. Dr. Branch, Dr. Reedy, and Mr. Latimer having gone on to Manassas. On th? return of the gentleiaen, very much to their surprise, they found us all ready t? leave i Culpepper. The pleas of the Purson upset the plnns of the Doctor. We are here, in a fine, 1 large, well furnished house, rented by Mr. B- 1 for the Committee. I will try to explain bis i plan, a? well as I can; but will send you a full account from himself as soon as he has | time to preparait It seems that there was i some difficulty between those in authority, and ?

The terrific struggle in which the Confeder ate States is engaged wilh a vulgar and brutal despotism, that sends with its invading host*, the manacles it has prepared for otir hands, is a content that demands the use of all the vast resources of its citizens. The spontaneous pa triotism of individuals has rarely supplied to any government the means of maintaining its rights in rucli a contest, and it would be folly to trust in a reliance so precarious. Kxpcri ence teaches that individuals exist in all com munities, whose love of ease and of thrift, nromnt them to ,I-- -?:c t - _ - ...v |/Vt l)? HUM I lie D?< ces which are usually involved in the maintain unco of liberty, and often in the preservation of the moat scanty measure of personal free dom. They seek to pureue with wonted se curity and thrift their usual'avocativns,* even when the din of clashing Qrma arouses and startles a whole continent; and whatever aid they render to the caui-o of liberty is wrung from their reluotant grasp by tho strong arm of publio authority. It is at all times fit, that the citisen understand his duties to 'his coun try, and especially is it proper that he know thvm in the midst of war. It is the purpose ui mis paper very briefly to indicate the indis putable power of the Confederate States over the persons and property of its own citizens, I tod over citizens of the hostile government,! who ore now, or may hereafter be found with in their borders. The instant And inevitable cffect of seces sion was to assign to the seceding States, the relation of foreign States to the State from which they separated, and to establish between the citizens of each the relatien of foreigners. That great act of sovereignty absolved the citizen from the duty of obedience to the Gov ernment and authorities of the United States' and divestedhim of all the rights, aivil and political, which he derived from the compact known as the Federal Constitution. But the immedialo effect of the war between the Con federate States and the lTnite(^ States upon the citizens of each converted them into ene mies, alien enemies, and imposed npon them the duties and disabilities of foreign ene mies. War is not merely the state of hostility between governments as political bodies, but between the citizens of hostile States; and no citizen of either can be allowed to occupy the position of & neutral toward the enemv of his own couDtry. lie is not permitted to exercise any discretion, judgment or volition of his own, as to the expediency of the war, or the measure of liis own services. His Government defines his positioh, and its stern mandate in exorably proscribes his duties. The Govern ment possesses unlimited and irresponsible power over his person and his property, and by its mere volition may send him to the army to fight its battles, and appropriate his proper ty to pay the charges of the war. And whilst war allows no neutrals amongst the citizens of lostile States, its stern logic pronounces him who is not the open, active advocate of ita muse, an nnaiBguise^ enemy of its sovereignty. Its imperious policy accepts no vaunting words is proofs of loyally. Personal services in the irmy, or free contributions of money are the >nly pccogitised manifestations of patriotism iVar demands men and money, and levies the remendous tribute for its ranks and its oofferB, ibe swift and simple agencies of conscrip ion and taxation. Tending hoelilities all intercourse, commercial ind social, between citizens of hostile States, s un'awful. All contracts between them are nnulled or suspended. The Courts of each ire closed against the citizen of the other. Aa he law witholda its remedies so does it witl.? Ir?w ?i 'u - AWfc uiiij mo mejf ue lied access to tha Courts, but ihey are not per mitted to reside or to hold property in the ountry of the enemy. The sturdy policy of rar. and the inflexible law of nations coo lemns their persona to imprisonment, and their states to confiscation. It is even a misde meanor at Common L,n\v to hold business inter ourae with the citiaens of a country at war rith ours, whether they reside in their own ounlry, or in oura. The character of enemies lings to them wherever they meet whethet hey meet in the counting room, the work bop, or the battle field. These rights of war have been exercised gainst citizens of the Confederate States with' ut scruple and without stint, and our own lovornment, is providing swift tad ample re illation. The right to hold intercourse, either ersonal, or by correspondence, to carry on rade or business, or even to reside in the ter itory of a hostile State, is denied to the Etizens of a belligerent country, and is s unlawful as it is incompatible with the ublic safety. The psramount duty of the itisen is to his own Government, and when e is found within the borders of the enemy e is deemed to be a spy, and the fact usu> lly coinoides with the presumption. As the ery presence amongst us of citisens of States iat ars aiding to conquer and subjugste the' ^federate States, is unlawful, the toleration f them by our oithcens, whilst it may not par ike' of tb? turpitude of treason is fraught -ith much of its mischief!

I beg leave to make a few suggestion* at to the moat available mean* of raising revenue. I find a party in favor of contributing a part of the proceeds of their crop* and othar pro duce to the government, and reoeiving it# Bonds, bearing 8 per cent, interest. I protest against the plan ; first, because it would leave the balance to fall into the hands of specula tors, and be liable to come in competition with that held by the Government and thereby may wholly or partially defeat it in controlling the sale which I think should be left exclusively in its control. Some may say the whole crop would he more than the wants of the govern ment would require, and it would not desire to issue its liabilities for such an amount as would impair its credit I answer ; it will be well known for what they were given, and they will be equal to and will command the gold wlion sold dollar for dollar at least; and who ever heard of a being refused, beoause the Bank had too much specie in it, and where is the bank that is founded on as pood a basis as this. Some nay it would be like a National Bank ; but the emergency is of vital impor tance to us, and the Government should not be restricted in any of its available resources, so .. si. - ? /? ?' - vug ua vij j uimcuity exists. The plan 1 would propose is, first, for Con gress to is?ue treasury bills to olraulate free of interest, like Bank Bills, and bonds of large size heuring interest at 8 per cent., the bill to be made a latvful tender in oil cases in pay ment of public dues, and a stay law where they were refused until the blockade is remov ed and thu specie can be obtained. 2d, For Congress ta appoint agents to re ceive the produce in^all the markets, advance, when delivered, say 10 cents per pound, in Treasury Bills or Bonds at the option of the purchaser; the Government to dispose of it at its discretion ^tsuch tim'e and terms na ii. man choose to set, any 16 cents per pound, ami when sold to account to tbe producers far the balance. If these or similar laws were parsed, I have no doubt but the patriotic citizens of the South ern Confederacy would amply furnish the Gov ernment with means to fight the would be rob bers to the end, until we have taught them a lesson that will, it is to be hoped, last them so long as they live. These Bills and Bonds will pass amongst us as well as gold, and I do not see why we will not get on as well as former^', so far as money is coucerned ; and in the end we will have con quered a peace, and will have one of the most glorious tfbuntries that the sun ever shone u|iuu wiui a moaei republican States rights Goremment The Bank Convention have been as liberal as could be desired, in their resolutions, and it is to be hoped the speculators will have too inuch patriotism to interfere, whilst the present emergency of the Government exists as the producers have subscribed ?? much as ought to be expected of them to supply the wants of the Government at present. I have never seen such enthusiasm amongst the citizens in my life, as in now displayed and all they want is to know what to do and ; how u> ao ii to come forward and act aro they vrill ing to devote their whole property and lires to the last drop of their blood if required in de fending their rights.

Soldier? of (he Confederate States : One week ago a countless host of men, og ganized into-an army, with all the appoint ments which modern art and practiced skill could devise, invaded the, soil of Virginia. ineir people sounded their approach with tri umphant displays of anticipated victory.

Tbe two affairs of the 18th and 21st were but the sustained and continued efforts of your patriotism against the constantly recurring col umns of an enemy folly treble your o#n num bers ; and their efforts were crowned on the evening of the 21st with ? victory so complete that the invaders are driven disgracefully from the field, and made to fly is disorderly routs i back lo their eotreochmeftte, A distance of of?r thirty miles. They left upon the field nearly every piece of their artillery, a large portion of their arms, equipments, baggage, stores, Ac., Ac., and al most every one of their Wounded and dead, amounting, together with the prisoners, to many thousands. And thus the Northern hosts vera drirenfrom Virginia.
