It really grieves our loving hearts to live on the fat of your land, while you are houseless, particularly when we have so often boasted of your hospitality, and your honored guest* year after year, "without money and without price." If you decline this affectionate overture, re. i member that wc are cognizant to cverv creek and corner in vour larders ; we know all your little rivers of milk and honey, the small hillocks of fresh butter, and the promontories of orange preserve jars, and we will appro-, priate them all to the glory of Abraham the first. On the other hand, if you will only separate yourselves from rebel husbands, sons, and brothers, who arc behaving so improperlv to your blessed Government, by fighting for your homes and your honor, you shall be taken to our affectionate embrace, and banquets of roses such as you used to place around our firesides, and on our toilet tables, shall be : showered upon you.

That something, reader, was an old man, who owns some seventy slaves, hut refuses to give i one cent to have them protected.?Speculators and cxtortionors have hceu familiarly known to us, before and since the war. lint never since the inauguration of the latter, have we ever met with one of those too common bipeds, who boa fit they have never contributed one dollar to the war. Wo knew that such animals were abundant in all the States of the confederacy, so far as popular rumor is OAnoonnn<l TNii nrn oAid'oee wr% nnvov eon- o veritable living one until to day. We must describe him and here it is: He is about sixty-five years of age; worth $00 000, has red hair, red eyes and a very pugnacious and repulsive countenance?the pugnacity consisting more in repulsive features than in the buinbof combativeness?eyes a milkish-whiskey blue ; beard thin and of an artichoke cast; abdoniinablc proportions indicating corpulency< while the "decreasing leg" shows a decline in muscular power and an awful proclivity for beef and pudding ; head small and coeoanutsbaped ; eye brows large ami irregularly arched ; mouth wide; lips compressed and thin; hair; sandy gray, with the appeaanee of a half j scalded Opossum ; skin remarkably shriveled ; ! liver white, and heart?no where. Such in brief is the outline of one of those many Southern patriots of which we hear and read, but rarely sec. property stlmect to taxation for waii Purposes. For general information we subjoin a list of property subject to the war tax : Ileal estate, including all lands and estates therein, with ferries, bridges and mines. Slaves of all ages.

Cash on hand or deposit, in bank or elsewhere. Cattle, horses and mules, raised or held for sale. Gold watches, gold and silver plate, pianos and. pleasure carriages. Strength of the Rebel Army. My estimate of the strength of the rebel array, gathered from observation and data within my reach, gives tliem not less than 350,000 men, who are distributed about as follows: Virginia 170,000 Tennessee and Kentucky 100,000 Missouri 50,000 Along the coast 30,000 Total 350,000 1 cannot doubt that the rebels have more .1 i? I 1 .1 . 1 \T . I /1 men in tne neiu tnan me i>ationai oovertinient, and 1 think that the numerous disasters we have met with are attributive to our underrating the strength of our enemy. "\Yhi'?* there is no manifestation of arder at the North, the South is, as 1 have said, one universal camp. "War is on every tongue, and the subject of every thought. Day and night yo'*. hear nothing but war shouts, exultations over victories, and imprecations against the 44 d?d Yankees." No business except what is connected with the war is attended to or thought of. The self-sacrifices which these people impose upon themselves are most extraordinary. They take the blankets and n.m their beds, the horses from their stabi- . *' vot'e from their sheds, the piowndei ?Y?u.. then bar ties, the sons from their hearts, and give all to the cause which they deem sacred. Universal madness seems to have gained possession of young and old, and the women, who should be conservative, are more rapid than their husbands, fathers or brothers. Nothing but a series of successive triumphs on all points on the part of the national forces can restore them to reason. If we do not make up our minds to crush out the rebellion by resistless force, we might as well cease the effort of re-establishing the Union, and leave these Southern tools to the consequences of their own mighty madness. It is a common thing to find old grey-haired men in the ranks with beardless hoys. 1 do not believe there has been any drafting for thoarmy. The force of public opinion is stronger than that. Denunciations as cowards, and paltroons, and as \v!iiio-11vc*i*cm 1 Northerners, exclusion from sill society, :m?I contemptuous and brutal tieatliu-iit are tin; spurs that are applied to force them to enlist.?

In answer to the numerous en<|iiiries which have been made by the ditlerent "Aid Societies which have been recently formed throughout tho State. I have been intruded by his Kxcelloncy Uov. Pickens, to give the following information. Depots will be established by the Quartermaster (ieneral, both in Charleston and Columbia, for the reception of all donations of clothing; and he is also charged with the duty of forwarding and distributing the same. The "Department" will receive all donations of clothing, say frock coats and pantaloons, of heavy worsted jfoou.s, shirts aim drawers, of heavy homespun or llauncl, wool, or heavy cotton socks, blankets new or second hand, also heavy shoes. The plan upon which the State designs supplying her soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon their willingness to surrender to the State the amount of money appropriated by the Confederate Government for this purpose, say forty-two ($12) per annum, this sum not now being sufficient in eonsecjuence o' the greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view of this fact that these lnudnbio "Associations" of ladies and gentlemen, are cordially welcomed as coadjutors in this noble work, and in proportion to their voluntary contributions of labor and materials, will the absolute e<?st of clothing for our gallant volunteers be red need. In the event that any of the '' Associations'' should not feel themse.vos able to furnish both material and labor, the Quartermaster General is instructed by his Kxeelleney the Governor, to rc-imbursc such Associations the cost of all materials, at a rate not exceeding similar materials purchased by tno "Department;'' and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be the same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau. Societies art' particularly requested to advise the Quartermaster General of the quantity of work thev can do per week, and the amount of donations they will probably send.
