The Memphis Appeal of Monday last says: On Tuesday night last one of the enemy's gunboats passed our fortifications at Island No. 10 during the storm. She passed down under the observation, we learn, of our commanders but was only to be seen by the Hashes of lightning. Many shots, we hear, were fired at her but at random, as the instant of light being too transient and fleeting for our gunners to make anything else than a random shot, bv guess, in the darkness of the night and the fury of the storm. She is at New Madrid, under cover of the enemy's battery. It is be lieved that tlic Federals are erecting rafts or boats, upon which they<hopc, by the assistance and aid of this gunboat, to land their forces on the Tennessee side of the Mississippi river bolow Island 10, and at or above Tiptonvillc? and thus capture, by their large force, our batteries on Tennessee shore, and then 10; and thus, at that point, to remove an impassable oarricr to the descent of their boats and transports down the Mississippi, so long as they can hold their positions. Shelling from Mortars.?The Memphis Avalanche publishes a detailed account of the enemy's attack on Island No. 10, from his first appearance on the 5th inst , up to the very latest date. The result of this protracted bomV\ar/-linr>nt ic ennimfifl nn tlio Annl nvtrlte* nc follows: MThe enemy has expended over three thoutand thirtecn-inch shells, a hundred thousand pounds of powder, and lias not yet struck the parapet of a battery, has not touched a magazine, has not destroyed a single house or dismounted a piece of ordnance, has not hit a man or damaged us a farthing's value." Nothing can show more clearly the inefliciency of mortars, when directed against circumscribed fortifications. Mortar shelling may destroy a town or city, but there is no instance yet in the present war in which it has been effective against forts. It was equally harmless at Fort Sumter and at Pcnsacola. The War in Missouri.?At last accounts from Missouri, a division of Price's army, under Gen. McBride, had penetrated as far as Rolla (eighty miles from St. Louis), which wl a/ia 4 1? ait I tii imi n/1 a it r\ a a ?vt ?\1 a4 a.

In answer to the numerous enquiries which have been made by the different "Aid Societies which have been recently formed throughout tho State, I have been intruded by his Excellency Gov. Pickexs, to give the following information. Depots will be established by the Quartermaster General, 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 goods, shirts and drawers, of heavy homespun or tlanuel, 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 tlie amount j of money appropriated ? > the Confederate Government f r this purpose, say forty-two ($12) per annum, tli s ;iirn not now being sufficient in consequence of rue greatly advanced cost of material. It is in view of this fact that those laudab.c "Associations"' of laI d;os and gentlemcu, ar cordially welcomed as coadjutors in this noble work, ami in proportion to their voluntary contributions of labor and materials, will the absolute cost of clothing for our gallant volunteers be reduced. In the event that any of the *' Associations'' should not feel themselves able to furnish both material and labor, the Quartermaster General is instructed by his Excellency the Governor, to rc-imburso 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 bo the same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau. Societies arc particularly requested to advise the Quartermaster General of the quantity of work they can do per week, and the amount of donations they j will probably send. To prevent confusion and loss, the following method for marking packages should be strictly observed. All Societies near Charleston, should ship to Charleston nhd mark thus: No. 1. TO QUARTERMASTER GENERAL ' Charleston, S. C. Trom Aid Society at (here insert place.) Societies near Columbia, should ship and mark thus No. 1. TO ASSISTANT QUARTERMASTER, Columbia, S. C. From Aid' Society (here insert name.) The packages should be marked distinctly, and numbered from one 1) upwards, A correct invoice should accompany each shipment. All articles shipped at the expense of the State. Novembers 4 S. S. GLOVER, Q. M. G. S. C. In Equity?Kersliaw District. BILL FOR PARTITION, CONSTRUCTION OF WILL, &c. Thomas Lang vs. Edward M.
