Considerable aclivily in the cotton market 1
lias been manifested in Abbeville during (lie
prMf'nt week. The ruling price for the staple c
in 26 cepts?in Auyusta, wo learn, it iB from 1
, 25 to 30 cents. Buyers have increased and the '
Bupj.ly of cotton limited. '
UNPATEIOTIC.
We liafe understood that there are a few
men, jn our Southern country, who refuse to ]
take in payment of deblp, Confederate Tree- i
8dry- Note.*. It is true that theConfederate t
mobey is not a legal tender, but a mun who (
,;o.. nn?o me inco 10 re i use it id the payment ]
of'debts cannot have the love of country at ,
' bdart, nmMhe scorn and coutempt of-the pub ,
'"'lie 'we hare no doubt will bring all such men J
" to h proper sense of duty. At a meeting re'
eenfly held in Griffin, Spaulding county, Ga., |
to'take Iiito consideration the punishment of
"Traitors and- cowardly submisionists, the following
was included amoDg the r/solutione of
that body, "any m*n, or set of n?en, who shall .
attempt to depreciate our currency, or refute
Ho tAlce Confederate notes in payment of debts, (
*hall be regarded as an enemy to tbe republic." (
"Where' an individual's property .is protected
" '"by the' brave and patriotic soldiers ?nd thus
attempts'to doprociateonr ebrrency should at
once r<e6eire the indignation and scorn of tb?

SOLDIER'S WIT.
A short time ago, a member of Orr'e Regincnt,
well known to many of our readers as
Jill MeKinney, a real be!-esprit, stepped into
inc of the stores in Columbia, and inquired !
or a paper of pins, which (lie merchant polite,ely
handed liiin, when Bill auktd the price?
'One Dollar and fifty cunts, sir" renlied tli?
nc-rdtant,
"Well Hint's very high," responded Bill.
Tlie merchant?''Well, if yon will tell me
vhnt is not 'very high,' now, 1 will give you '
ho pins."
Bill?shrugging his shoulder* nnd costing n
'winning" lo?k at the little jnnu behind the
ountcr-j-'-well, there "a not vcrg high living iu
..ces' Army."
The morohnnt acknowledged he wa* xolgrred >
ind the Inst he saw of Bill was going out of
lie door pocketing the paper of pins.
:he enemy whipped on the rappaHONNOCK.
Spring is opeping and ilie nlud bound armies
ire begining to 6how signs of u new vitality.
)n Tuesday, the 17th, the moLotoy was bro;en,
by the advauec movement of Gen. Ilookr*H
forces to cross the Rappahannock at Kelly's
:ord. The advance of the cnenij*, froin 3,000
0 5,000 strong appeared on the North Bnnk of

1 crossing. The enemy composed of a cavalry
.nd artillery force, advanced within some six

ngngoinent was n severe one and lasted fevea!
hours?the Yankees contending stubbornly
or every inch of grond. Onr forces, ihougli
uferiftr in numbers finally repulsed them with
lonsidernble slaughter. Among the slain on
>ur side were the brave and gnllnnt Major Pellaru
of Alahauin, a 3'oudg officer of great
iromise, and Major Pullcni and Lieut* Harris
fujor Breckinridgo was taken prisoner,
'he Yankee prisoners captured by our
orces acknowledge a great slnugliter on
heir fide, and that they were badly whipied.
Our entire loss?killed, wounded and
lissing?is about 280; thnt of the enemy is
aid to be much greater.
COSTLY EATING.
One of tlie principal hotels in Richmond in
bout to be ?Ufponded in self defence?the
iricts of provisions braving advanced so much.
Ve remember of hearing of a man. who it was
aid, resided in Abbeville District, that a crown

lothing about the expense of preparing and
ither little nick-nacks,; that uiiglit suit hiB
aste at a dinner table.
Thip gentleman, it has been said, otter he
vas through dining, sometimes would eat a
arge tripe to taper off on, in preference to dessrt?and
on one occasion tripes not being con
renient, a cow's hide was served up for him, hy
lis host, which answered every pnrpoBe, as he

vould ttdd an item of $25 to hie bill of fare.?

the enemy's wagons could be seen carrying
off their dead and wounded. The enemy,
aeing in superior force, came near surrounding
the >yOnfed9rate*, who were compelled to
retire to more favorable position. The centre

The New York 2'imcs says a combined

evidence of the near approach of Spring,
while ,
"That sweet bird, tliat nils upon the tree, I

At the coming of spring active opera? 1
tiona in this department may be expected.
With the roads dried, and the health of
both armie6 improved, attended by favorable
weather for military movements, we .
can reasonably anticipate battles of a
bloody hue. "What will be our fortunes in
the coming engagements remain yet to be i
seen, but our hope U bright with a firm *
confidence in the valor and efficiency of j
our troops, ,
The number of effective men now in
our army is much larger ibao at ihe time
of the battle of Murfteexburo. All of our

THE LATE COL. MAESHALl^
The following we extract from a Report of
lev. 11. Johnnon, Rector of Trinity Cliurcb,
Abbeville, to tho Protestant Episcopal Mission
iry Society of South Cnrolina ;?
This Church (Trinity, Abbeville) has
ieen called to sustain it* full chare of ilrnt
nirden of sorrow anil trial, which this deso
ating war has thrown upon our southern
:ountry. Largely and honorably represented
in the great battles which occurred in I
V irginia and elsewhere, our congregation ;
nourns the loss of two of its most valuable
neinbers? Col. J. Fos:or Marshall and Ll
?ol. A. M. Smith?the former for eight
,'i'flrs, I ho zealous and enerjelic Chairman I
?f our Vestry?the latter u liberal supjior- |
erof our Clnwb, admired wd beloved by i
ill who knew him.
Four years ago Col. Marshall made a
lrofe^sion of religion, full and heartily ;
ioinmiltiiig himself to the work and service I
)f God. From that period his character j
,vns distim tlv ma iked by increasing earn- I
sstucss J?n<l Iiiiuiility, a growing in grace
md in the knowledge of Christ. He did
lotliing by halves, niid bis indomitable
?nergy engrafted itself upon Ins religion.
[Ie was a liberal anil working Clirisiian.
md it is iiidee*' difficult to calculate tlie
o>-s of such a man to (lib Slate, the foin- |
nunity", the Church of God To bim chief- i

loh'e edifi< c we possess. IIi-? heart seem '
illed with indent de-ire for the advance- I
nont of llio work ami kingdom of Cluisl.
[n his la-t letter to his pastor, before go- i
ng up to tli-it bailie field which | oved l<> J
jim the field of death and glory, he wrote j
is follows: "I feel that I cull only adopt
"or myself the language of the poor puhli?
:nn, 'God be merciful tome a sinner,; but
^ (rust is in I he Lord, lie is my Hock,
ny ife/cnce uvd my Saviour. I have great
:aufc to be thankful to almighty God. My

ions which press upon mi\ but 1 have resolved
by the help of God, Jor the balunce
f my life to devote more of my lime and
iubstance to his service, and to live in

Dn the nigM before 1 lie .hmlie of ilie 2.kjlh

on Tuesday eveirng last, I said that, prono
sit ions for an armistice or peace had been
submitted to tire President on the 12tli of
December last, which, had they been accepted,
would have terminated this war
by tin Jst of April upon a bas'n satisfactory
to the people, North and South. In
referring to this statement vim !>*t- .
J ""?
"Who made these propositi" .n-* for an
armis'ice or pence, the adoption of which
Mr. Wood pretends to believe would have
settled the matter hy all'ooU day. If so,
how does Mr. Wood know anything
about them. II is lie been in secret correspondence
with the enemy. Or were
they made hy some of the anti?war men
hen ? If so, who authorised them; nr.d
what are the terms of the propositions
fiom which Mr. Wood hopes so much?
If they are honorable to the nation, if they
!<r<? tlH'li UB ?..??. A ..
........ |mu<i'?ii, jc\ meiu.-aiis ullglil to
favor, why n<>t make lliein public at. nn?e. '
To which I say, in reply Unit the statement
referred to hy me was made deliberately
with a full and personal knowledge
of the facts, and that I am constrained
from the publicity of them onlv l?\ the request
i>f tine of ilie principal officers ?>f the
(ioveriuiict)t. When this in'cidu tion j
shall i'P withdrawn I w ill cheerful lv ?ratifv

Baldwin, March 10.?Our troops attacked
the enemy this iuorni?g, about C
o'eloi k, ami, after a sharp contest, drove
them bark on board their gunboats and
transports. The cavalry companies marched
in this side of the railroad depot, and
met the enemy near Damianos place. Brevard's
battalion marched on the south hwIp
and encountered the enemy near the Judson
Hnuso. After firing a few rounds,
tliey charged the enemy, which they cock to
their heel* and dopbled-quickeJ for th?-ir
gunboats. Dr. Meredith was killed early
in the action ; aslo three horses. Enemy's
losa not known, hut a number were seen
to fall. Our officers and men behaved
gall?nlly. After our troops returned, the
gunboats commenced to shell u.j for nearly
one hour.? Gainesville Fla. Cotton States

bottom, when hauled buck by tlio line wil
inevitably drag ?ip? ?? the wire-: to whie.l
the torpedoes are attached, and eithe
cause their explosion, or cut off their con

them harmless.
