STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER,)
Columbia, S. C., April 24, 1862. $
rjiHE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS
were adopted by the Governor and Council,
and were ordered to be published!
?ne Congress ot the Confederate States of
America having passed an Act entitled 44An
Act to Further Provide for the Public Defence,*.'
approved April 1862, which authorizes the
President to call out and place in the military
service of the Confederate States for three years,
unless the war shall have been sooner ended,
all white men who are residents of the Confederate
States between the ages of eighteen (18)
and thirtj'rfivc (35) except those exempt by
law, the Governor and Council, as representing
the authority of the State, are induced to waive,
for the present, all objections to the measure,
and to give it a cheerful and energetic support,
upon the ground of imperious public necessity.
The operation of the Act aforesaid takes all the
material of armies between the ages mentioned
from the control of the State, whether for aca!
J a *L /* t ? e - 1

1. Resolved, That a State Reserve Force
shall be organized as promptly as practicable, to
consist of two corps.
2. That the first corps shall embrace all male

for active service wherever required by the
State authorities, and be still subject to the
performance of patrol and police duty until
called into active service.
3. That the second corps shall embrace all
those persons who are by law exempted from
ordinary militia duty, all alien residents, and
all male citizens between the ages of sixteen
(10) and eighteen (18) and fifty (50) and sixtyfive
(65) years, who shall be held for the performance
of patrol duty and fof the internal
defence of the State when required.
4. That to effect the organization of the
several corps of reserves, it shall be the duty

Jeckton'a Victory In the Valley of
Virginia.
Richmond, May 10.?The following official
: despatch was received at the War Office this
j morning:
Vallnt District May 0.)
(via Staunton, may 10.) )
To Genrral S. Cooper, Adjutant General:?
God bleseod eur arms with victor} at McDowell's
yesterday.
[Signed] T. J. J ackson,
Major-General
A despatch to Governor Letcher, this morning,
says that General Jackson telegraphs that
we have gained a brilliant victory in the Valley
and that the enemy is in full flight, hotly pursued.
Onr loss is 40 killed and 200 wounded.
me enemy's loss was heavy, and all his dead
and wounded were left upon the field. Of the
twelth Georgia Regiment, Captains Furlow,
McMillan and Patterson, Lieutenants Turpin,
Gouldware, and Woodward, were killed. Captain
Dawson was badly wounded,
i May 11.?A later despatch to Governor
Letcher, dated Staunton, Saturday evening,
says that the enemy's loss at McDowell was
500 killed and wounded. In their flight the
! Yankee troops burned all their baggage and
i wagons. Our forces are pursuing them closely.
Some of our wounded have arrived here.
Everything?property, life, all?says the
Southern Christian Advocate, must be cast into
the scale, or the weight of our enemy's metal
and the malignity of hate and greed, will make
his cause preponderate. We shall be weighed
in the balances and found wanting. We may
as well, at once, make up our mind to fight it
out, and if our liberties are lost, to perish with
our Government. If wo survive it, we are to
pay the cxpences of this war; we are to bo
ruled by immigrant Yankees in our own beloved
land; we are to be kept in subjection to
Northern law makers, by tho bayonet. For
one, we would be willing to sec both our large
armies going into the fight, when the impending
conflict comes, with only the black banner
floating over them. Let the cries "no retreat,"
"no surrender," "no quarter asked or given,"
l ?
-oniy victory or death," carry terror to the
hearts of the cruel and wicked aggressors who
seek our destruction. Such a sight and such
sounds would appal them: and they who truly
go into the battle with the spirit this course of
action pre-supposes could not but conquer.
Gen. "Stonewall"Jackson. ? A letter from
near Winchester, speaking of events before our
army evacuated the place says: At the Union
prayer meeting (of all denominations) one afternoon,
that gallant soldier and pious man,
General (Stonewall) Japkson was present and
led in prayer. At the upper table some professing
Christians, when told of it, expressed
regret at not having been present. Had they
known "that Gen. Jackson was to have been
there," they would certainly have gone.?
Alas! they forgot that a greater than Jackson,
or any other mere man, had promised to meet
with liik nf>nnlf? i?v?n the I.nrd of Iif<- unrl rrli .t*TT
? ,?i?i
It is certainly a gratifying fact, that General
Jackson is an active, humble, consistent Christian?restraining
profanity and Sabbath-breaking?welcoming
army colporteur*, distributing
tracts, and anxious to have every regiment in
his army supplied with a chaplain/ Would
that all our leaders were men who thus served

The Victory,near Corinth.
RicnMOHD, M*y 10.?The "War Office has
received the following official despatch.
Corinth, May 9. (
(via Mobile, May K>) )
To Gen. S. Cooper, Adjutant general: We
attacked the enemy to-3ay, and drove him from
his position.
' [Signed] . T. Braurroard.
Cotinth, May 8.?Bragg and Van Born advanced
on the enemy at 11 o'eloek this morning.
After a sharp skirmish, which lasted
three hours we drove the enemy two miles
beyond Farmingtcn, and beyond the bridge.
Five thousand troops were enoraired on raeh
i a v or
side. The Federal cavalry charged Robinson's
Battery, but were repulsed in great' confusion^
their riderless horses running to our fine. Onr
loss was small. Major Ingraham and Captain*
Leftwitch, of Gen. Van Dorn's staff, were dan*
gerously wounded. "We captured a large
amount of clothing and knapsackt. The enemy's
loss in killed and wosnded was heavy.
iVay 9.?I have just returned from the front. ?-The
enemy was driven across Seven Mfle*
Creek, running like sheep. It appears tbat
Gen. Pope's division of the Federal army alone
occupied Farmington. Gen;. llalleck, with
the main part of the army, is still on-tbe river.
The Confederates loss is slight. The Federal
retreat was so rapid that we were unable to '
capture many prisoners. Gens. Price and Van
*1 ?orn led the attack. We captured the tele
grapu omcoat tfarmington.?The Confederates
are returning to Corinth. It is reported that ?
the Confederate forces opperating down the
Tennessee river have captured large numbers %
nf prisoners and a large amount of property, at *
Paris and Paducah. '
??>
Evacuation of Norfolk* Suffolk,
Va., May 10.?Norfolk and Ports- ^
mouth were evacuated this morning by the 1
Confederate forcer. The Gosport Navy Yard, * a
with the guard ships Plymouth, Gcrmantown Ju
nnd Bethel were completely destroyed by fire.
All the cotton that could not be removed to a place
of safety, was also burned. The Dry
Dock was effectively blown up in sections. .
Much of the stock of the Bank of Louisiana
is owned by Frenchman, and it is said the coin

uiju uiucr vmuauies uetonging tO IQO SllDjeCtS
of France were placed in the Bank, and the
French flag hoisted over it by . order of the 11
French Consul.
Sorb Throats?Salt as a Remedy?In
these days, when diseases of the throat are so
prevalent and in many cases so fatal, the use *
of common salt is recommended as an efieotaal
remedy. We commenced by using it three
times a day?morning, noon, and night. We
dissolved a large table spoon sfull of salt in
abont half a tumbler full of cold water. With
this we gargled the throat most thoroughly
before meal time The result has been that
during the entire winter we were not only
free from the usual coughs and colds to whieM? v
so far as my memory extends, we have always
been subject, but the dry, hacking cough haa
entirely disappeared. We attribute this satis- factory
result entirely to the salt gargle.
Yankee Anticipations.?A New York pa
per of the 4th in^t. says:
The proba'ol? opening of all of the ports at an
early day, from Richmond to New Orleans,
has caused an excitement among the salt speculators,
which is to be equalled by the excite- ,
ment among the Boston and New York ice
merchanta. Applications are pouring into the
Department for the privilege of sending South j
vessels freighted with ice and salt. The protsrift
of 25 cents per sack and 18 cents
r~?
1 in bulk per cwt. on salt, and tbe demand for
i the aaline staple in th6 Southern markets,
> will, no doubt cause an upward tendency.
L Salt and ice are two commodities which wfU
J prore grant blessings in die South at the pte~
sent time. That is Yankee, all o?er?
