Who severed tho limb that seated lam
And was punished?accordingly.
There's reason, and may bo room
* In seasons of much misrule,
For an " irou hand," to purgo tho land
Of a 6omcwhat similar fool!
No Congressman, I name;
No man of meaner wares ;
Though it is a shnmo, if a nation's claim
To life, bo loss than theirs 1
But I mean your "cotton head,"
Mole-blind to all but pelf,
With a root to knaw, and a limb to saw,
And a crash to cripple himself.
Digging for cotton bales,
While tho nation cries for bread!
Digging dirt for a Nessus shirt
To scorch him heel to head.
Siglnng for cotton bales,
With the hand of God outspread
To sraito him lirst, whom Folly nursed
For Famine to leave unfed.
Oh! Cromwell 1 with a kick ;
Oh! Cromwell! with a curse;
Larrup the knaves who'd dig our graves
For half the wages of famished slaves,
Out of the Universe.
The Situation at Island Number Ten.?
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

To 111*1 SoIdierK' Aid SoeiofieN of S. C.
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.
