Those of ours subscribers who
will not have paid their half-yearly
subscription to " The Confederate"
by the first day of next month, will
be required to pay ?1.50 after that
??0 iR\ Hf- 1
per annum. >v e iiuvu
a few subscribers names on our book
for three months?they, also, will be
expected to pay at the above rates,
where they have not complied with
our terms. There will be 110 exceptions
made in these charges, for we
care not to have the patronage of
any who are so inconsiderate in settling
their small dues. We hope
all our good patrons?and we have
many:?will take timely warning
from this notice.
Our Agents at Liberty Hill, Flat
Hock, Tiller's Ferry, and other places,
will please act, on the reception of
this notice, in accordance with the
above instructions.
Camden, December lib 1801.
Mew military Kill.
According to the recent act passed by the
Legislature, all otlices will be vacated, and new
elections ordered by the Adjutant-tlenoral,
forthwith. In accordance with the requirements
of said bill an announcement is made in
our columns of this issue, for candidates to lill
the field olficcs of this regiment.
n
Alarm or Fire.
Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, we were startled
by the alarm of lire, which was caused by
the burning of the roof of I >r. T. AY. Salmon
n's residence, in Kirkwood?occasioned
from sparks, which was soon extinguished. It
was a very bad day for a lire to have got under
way, and feel glad that no further injury was
sustained.
in l>ui'ltii<'M?.
While the people of the South have been
suffering slightly from the scarcity of burning
fluid and the adamantine candles, mostly made
in Porkdom, we are happy to inform our readers
and the people of the Confederate States,
that the great desideratum has been more than
fully supplied, by a discovery made by our enterprising
fellow-citizens of this town, Messrs.
IIocott & Sutherland. We arc now writing
under its brilliant light, and deem it superior
to gas, fluid or camphcnc. The " Trebene
Oil" has been exhibited in the city of Columbia
to the entire satisfaction and delight of
all who witnessed it. It possesses the great
properties of cheapness and freedom from
explosion, when used l>y careful hands.
It will be seen by reference to the adverment,
in another column, that the proprietors
arc prepared to furnish it in quantities to suit
purchasers, on application to them. It is another
evidence of the indirect benefit of this
Lincoln war. Had not the blockade been in
existence, this enterprise would not have been
thought of. We congratulate our friends in
the successful accomplishment of so useful an
enterprise, and hope it will reward their skill
and benefit the country at large.

us tlio sad intelligence of a tremendous conflagration
then raging in the city, and which, at
the hour of their going to press?6 o'clock in
the morning?had laid in ashes almost half
the city.
The fire originated about 0 o'clock Wednesday
night, in lvussell S: Co.'s Sash and Blind
Factory, at the foot of 11 a/ell street, and extended
over an area of more than fifty squares,
up to G o'clock, since which time we have
been unable to obtain any further particulars.
Among the many valuable public buildings
we see mentioned as having been consumed
is the Circular Church, Institute llall, Charleston
Theatre, St. Andrew's llall, the Cathedral,
and many others.
It has made a complete furrow clear through
Iroin East Bay to King-street, taking portions
of lla/.oll, Queen, Meeting, Market, Church,
Arclnlale, Mazyek, East Bay, Ilayne, Cumberland,
King, Clitford, Broad and Friend streets,
besides several others, the names of which we
have been unable to learn.

through Mr. Witherspoon, who has still later
information, that the Haines had extended
up Broad, consuming the Telegraph Ollicc,
and other adjacent buildings.

Anolltcr Victory in 3Ii*M>iBri.
In the Little Lock (Ark.) True Democrat
of the 28th, we find the following important
inteligcnce, which is the latest that could be
received lierc from tlie Southwestern Missouri,
and which seems to be perfectly reliable.
We learn from Mr S. T?. Dennett, who reached
tliis place vesterdav evening, bringing <1 is
j>atclies lroin Maj. G. \V. Clarke to tiie Goveminent
at Richmond, that a battle has been
fought in Southwest Missouri, near the Kansas
Fine, by Gen. Rains with the Federalists, in
which Gen. Rains achieved a signal victory,
lie routed the Federalists completely, killing
and wounding about 200, capturing about '200
prisoners, t'ortv wagons loaded with provisions
and aiuunition, and a large number of
arms.
Mr. Rennett also informs us, that S. II. Montgomery,
long a resident of Fort Smith and
brother to eapt A. Montgomery, who had
charge of the Fort there when taken by the
State, he was among the prisoners captured,
lie was <|unrtcrmnster in the Federal armv.
(Jen. Siegel, Mr. Rennet informs us, was in
full retreat towards 1 ronton or Focahontas, with
about 15,000 men, and Gen. Price was in hot
pursuit, with everv confidence of being able
to overtake and whip him.
The other portion of the federal army had
retreated towards Rolla.
This is glorious news front Missouri, and
we expect more of it when next we hear from
the gallant Price.
