xiavjng uecn long laminar wuii your soit
feather beds, well supplied tables, beautiful
flowers, and hospitable smiles, more charming
even thqn your fish and game, we entreat you,
with every assurance of our most tender regard,
to come and partake of some of the deli,
cacics which wc have appropriated by a "mili
tary necessity."
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.

We b avc seen for the first time to-day, J
something new, since the war commenced.?
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

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

therein, with ferries, bridges and mines.

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

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.
To prevent confusion and loss, the following method
