Military Election. We would call the attention of the voters of the Lower Battalion S. C. M., for Kershaw District, to the General Order of Col.

With this number closes one year of the existence of The Confederate. For the patronage it baft received from a generous public, and the support of personal friends, we feel grateful. Whilst it has not been all wc could have desired?nor what wc should have nindc it if tho tunes would have guaranteed an enlargement ?>yefc we are satisfied it has answered in a good degree the purpose for which it was established ?as a means of conveying intelligence of a 1 I J T\! . . ivuai ana uisirici interest, 'lho difficulties attending the publication of this sheet?though small it be?is greater in these war times than the casual observor has any idea of. One thing wo can say, we have adhered strictly to our old price of subscription and advertising; whilst all, or nearly all, of our cotemperaries have exacted an advancc-|-and we think justly so?we have made no change; but if our patrons do not come up within the next ten days and pay their arrears we will be Compelled to add a percentage?as we arc compelled to pay at least four times the former price of material with which to continue the publication. We will endeavor to do our duty and bespeak the continued assistance of former patrons, earnestly requesting all delinquents to pay up, and those whose subscriptions have expired to renew them?with the only thing upon which the publisher can mcethis liabilities?the cash. The Ladles. wo cannot despair of the triumph of our cause, whilst wo sec the unfaultering devotion of the ladies to the cure of the wounded and sick soldier. We arc informed by a friend, recently returned from Virginia, that all along the lino of road from Richmond may bo seen, on the arrival of the train, minstering angels^ supplying the wants and necessities of the poor soldier. At Ilillsboro', N. C., they have committees that go in the train for twenty miles, with baskets filled with provisions, and supplies of bandages, which they distribute to the hungry and suffering men. At Greensboro* the same kind attention is bestowed to theln?also, at Winnsboro', Orangeburg and many other stations on our South Carolina roads, like attention is given. The good done in this way is invaluable to the soldier, and is no donbt gratefully appreciated by those on whom it is conforred?there being many whose wounds or feeble condition from sickness render them unable to leave the cars without help, and not a few who start homeward, through necessity, without money or rations. It is a labor of love, which will have a happy effect. While we speak of those from home, we cannot withhold our meed of praise from the 1 wives, mothers and sisters of our own community. They are laboring for the soldier; and many a poor fellow must bear in his memory, with all the brilliapcy of fresh recollection, , the many Jrindnc89eft received at our way-side hospital. With the zeal of our ladies and the courage and fortitude of our men in the field, ^ with the blessing of Uod wo can never bo a conquered people. I I jt # . V \ I r ' - *' - ~7*r w*JULtt*> ^44*1 '1 From tho eltcttons in <F*iti*y|<f*i$ia, Ohio and Indiana, the , Democratic party carried "those State* by returning to Congress a majority of members over the Republican party. In New Vork there are indications of public indignation against the usurpations of Lincoln. John Van Burcn lias made a bold speech for. that (attitude. Among other things he brings to light a piece of history connected with the commencement of old Abe's, administration. which puts Gen. Scott in a more favorable light j than we have been led to believe , he was cn' titled to. He certainty had a more correct idea of the "big job" than Abraham himself. The folly he cqmmittcd was in continuing to ' uphold the party in power against the South. In this, as in his past life, vanity, his besetting sin, carried him with those whom lie ought to have looked upon as his enemies?to draw his sword against the friends of his youth and the land of his birth. It is probable from the upheavings now visible, that the proclamation of Lincoln, which was tr take effect on the 1st of January next, and from which his mad followers, Greely and Bcacher, confidently expected such great results, and the elevation of the darkie on a footing with them ?a proposition which no sane man in the South would deny?as the meanest negro in South Carolina is better than either of them?being made to do some good?while their lives have been given to break up and destroy, in opposition to the teachings of God's word, and the experience of mankind in past ages?this panacia over which they howled so lustily has met with an opposition they did not expect. What the end will be no man can tell. As a friend remarked to us a few days since, "wc are without pilot, compass, or rudder." Both ! parties breathe the spirit of animosity against the South. It may be the working of that unseen Hand, who rules the destinies of men i and nations, by thus creating destruction among I themselves. The South will soon, beyond j doubt, gain her independence, as we feel and firmly believe, as a people, iliat the institution of slavery is in accordance wi'.h the words of the Moit High, and intimately connected wi*h the well-being of that race, and the interest of those to whose care they arc committed, and the product of whose labor supports so many millions of the human family. Its overthrow cannot be accomplished by any power on earth. So long as we continue true in the defence of our principles and the maintainonce of our rights, let us not indulge a hope of peace from bickerings among themselves. If such should be the result none would rejoice more than we. But we fear the idea of subjugating the South is still their aim. Might, they think, must overcome right. Against such a catastrophe, let. us rfll pray, labor and strive.

To Keep Apples for Winter Use.?Put them in casks or bins in layers well covered with dry sand, each layer being covered. This preserves them from the air, from moisture, and ' : from frost; it prcAonts their perishing by their own perspiration, their moisture being absorbj ed by the sand; at the same time it preserves j the flavor of the apples, and prevents their ! wilting. Pippins have been kept in this manner sound and fresh til mid-summer, and how much longer they would have kept is not j known. Any kind of sand will answer, but it must be perfectly dry. II uno in Effioy.?The Atlanta Confederacy has been informed that the citizens oflluntsvillc, Ala., lately hung in efflgy Nich. Davis, Jerry Clemens and George Lane, of that place, on account of their Unionism. Lane is openly for Lincoln, and went off with the retiring Yankees.

Mercury of Wednesday. Latent from Richmond. the campaign in kentucky gen bkagg'b official report. Richmond, October 21.?Gen. Bragg's offi cial report, dated Rryantville. Ky., October 12. has been received at the War Office. After mentioning that Gen. Po'k commanded the Confederate forces in the battle at Perryville, he says: "The cngagdtnent became general about 1 o'clock, p. in., and continued furiously from that time until dark, our troops never faltering, never failing in their efforts. For the time they were engaged, it was the severest and most desperately contested engagement within my knowledge. Fearfully outnumbered, our troops did not hesitate to engage at any odds, and, though checked at times, they eventually carried every position, and drove the enemy two miles. We had captured fifteen pieces of artillery, by a most daring charge, and killed otu?and wounded two of the enemy's Brigadier Generals and a very large number of inferior officers and men, estimated to be no less than 4000. The ground was literallv covered with his dead and wounded. Our own loss was not less than 2i500, killed, wounded and missing," the campaign in virginia?latest from genlke's army.

The exchequer of Mr. Chase is still owing arrearages of fifty millions! The New York Tribune says: There is dissatisfaction at the non-payment of the troops in the field. Requisition to the amount of not less than fifty millions dollars for their pay lie in the Treasury Department awaiting action. So much has been drawn for recruits that the department is obliged temporarily to do injustice to the old soldier. Tn the East, not a few regiments have not been paid since the first of June. In the West, some of the best regiments in the service have not received a cent for eight months. Meantime, a regiment of paymasters drew their salaries in idleness. It is hoped that the evil will soon be remodied by paying the soldier.

DIED; of croup, at Camden, on the 12th inst., JULIA KALB, daughter of Thomas and Annie Jokes, four years of age. Brief must be the record of a life so transient. Time was not given for the development of character?the untimely frost of death nipped the bud before it had expanded. Little Julia was lovely in form and amiable in disposition?the light of her parents dwelling, and the joy of their hearts. But Jesus, the good Shepherd, came, placed this little lamb in His bosom, and carried her through the cold waves of Jordan to the heavenly Cnnnau. "From adverse blasts, and lowering storms,. Her favored soul He bore,And wltti yon bright, angelie forms, She lives, to die no more. v A Friend. DIED, on the 1 It'll of September, in the battle o> Sharpsburg, JAMES D.
