tw We had the pleasure a few days since
of making the acquaintance iu our Village of
Mr. W. B. 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

with whom property was the mere dust of the

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

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. Daat iiidieerationa of tliu kind hu) !> ??
liaaatroua to ua?but ma it waa not probable
that the aameacenea would be re-enacted at Bull
Ron, there could be uo impolicy in narrating
lb* various inciuenta of ita exciting battle* By
way of introduction, the apeaker a?t forth the
falae principlea, and unwarrantable aasumpliona,
with which thia war had been undertakes by
Lincoln aud hk Cabinet?to wit, that thia wm a
jonaolidated Government, and that Seceaaion

In that interval the "Great Mogul," General
Scott, wasseutior, and if h4 did not plan, oer- 1
tainly did not diaappr6ir?, (be concerted sclirtne 1
Tor the great battle of Sunday. 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

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 President and Secretry of war objected at

the plan. Gov. Pickens hns promised nconsid
erablesum for a beginning, arid ether contribu

* * * There are to be, for
tbe present, six ladies and as many gentlemen,
in charge of the institution. A larger number
will be needed hereafter, say teu of each class.
AH will live together, one having charge of the

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,

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

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

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

ADDRESS TO THE ARMY FROM OENTERALS
JOHNSTON AND BEAUREGARD.
The following eloquent address of our gene
rals to the army under their command will ex
cite the patriotic emotions of every Southern
reader
Headquarters Army or tur Potomac,
Manassas, July 26th, 1860.
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. Their
generals came in almost royal state; their great
ministers, senators and women, came to witness
the immolation of oar army, and the subjtiga*
tion of our people and to celebrate the result
with wild revaliy.,
It is with the profoundest emotions of grati
tude to an over ruling God. whose hand is
manifest in protecting our homes and our lib
erties, that we, your generals commanding, are
enabled, in the name of our whole country, to
thank you for that patriotic couyige, that be
roio gallantry, that devoted darling exhibited
by you io the actions of the 18th and 21st, by
which *he hosts of the enemy were scattered,
and a signal and glorious victory obtained.
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.
Soldiers I wa congratulate you on aa event
which insures tfa* liberty of Oar country, Wa
oongratulale erery man of yon, whose glorious
privilege it was to participate in tiiia triumph of
soorage and of troth?to light in the battloof
Manassas. You bava created an epoch in tha
history of liberty, and unborn nations will rise

The following is a portion of the debate tint
took place in the United States congress on the "
24th inst. It show? that Scott fought the bat*
tie of Mamassas (if bis owu word con be credi

counsel:
Mr. Richardson?I repeat that Oen. Scott
had been foroed to fight* this battle. I will
tell hun what occurred yesterday morning.
My col leg ue? (Logan and Washbnrne) and my
self, were present with the president secretary
of war, and Gen. 8oatt. In the eourse of onr
conversation, Oen. Soott remarked : 'I am the
biggest coward in tbe world.' I rose front my
seat 'Stay,'said Oen. Spott, *1 will prove it.
I have fought the battle against my judgment, t
and I think the president onght to remove me
