Wo are glad to assure our country friends that there is no danger to any one coming to town of contracting this disease. "Wo hear of no new cases, and understand that the old ones are all convalescent. Indeed the disease has not from its tirst appeuranco assumed a malignant or even dangerous typo?not a caso having terminated fatally. Though there has been no alarm or panic, the authorities have been vigilent in the uso of ull the means in thoir power to prevent its extension. .Vaccination has been very generally resorted to, and this, wo trust, together with the approach of warm weather, will certainly check the spread of tho disease. Sequestration. The '^tece'var" for Fairfield, Kershaw and Sumter Districts, Mr. Jas. R. Aiken of Winnsboro, visited our town on Tuesday and Wednesday, and was highly ^ratifletf at the prompt manner iu which our merchants responded to his call.

The Weather. The weather?which in the absence of other topics if conversation, is a prolific source of comment as well as edi^oriol squibr?has been, for the past few days, pleasant and delightful. Following tho inclement Weather of last week, it is highly appreciated and enjoyed. The planters-are busy with their ploughs and hie gardeners with their spades, preparing the ground for a new crop.

Mobile, February 8.?A Special despatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Jackson, 7th, says that the Governmeut ordnance agent who escaped, reports tho .Federal gunboat Queen of the West which passed tho Vicksburg batteries, went below and went up Rod River, capturing the steamer A. W. Taylor, loaded with sugar and molasses, and having thirty Confederate officers on board, nino of whom ?or.oi-vrwl Qi>. J ?w. ?. ..V>u vwvu^vvtt KJklTJ tlien captured the steamer Moro with 180,000 pounds of pork for Port Hudson. She also captured the steamer Berwick Boy with 200 barrels of flour, and 100 bales of ootton. The Queen of the West mounts 12 rifled twelve pounders, and carries a crew of one hundred and fifty picked men, under Col. Elliott. She was struck twenty times, but being cotton-clad was little injured. 8he has returned to Vicksburg without her prizes which are probably re-captured or destroyed. 33d REGIMENT 8. C.

Indianapolis despatches, of the 3d, say that Federal deserters are making forcible resistance to to their ar- , rest, and titers is great excitement in consequence. J Aflktrs In KralMkf. Chattanooga, February 8.?The resolution, introduced into the Kentucky Legislator* by Mr. Thornton F. Marshall, declares that Kentucky favors an armistice. The Louisville Journal of the 2d favors a proposition of conference between the Kentueky and Northern Legislatures to see what shall be done. From the Wert. Port Hudson, February 10.?Information has just reached our pickets that a portion of Sibley's command encountered the enemy at Indian village, totally rout ing mm, altera severeflght. The enemy admits a loss of one thousand killed, wounded and missing.* Anecdote or Wendell Phillips.?Mr. Train, in a speech in Music Hall, Boston, spedking of Wendell Phillips, said: That distinguished Abolitionist went to Charleston, S. C., onoe before he was very well known, and put up at a hotel He bad breakfast served for him at his room and was waited upon by a slave. He embraced the opportunity to represennt to the negro, in a very pathetic way, that he was a man and a brother, and mora than that an Abolitionist. The negro seemed more anxious about the breakfast than he was about his relations and the oondition of his soul, and finally in despair, Mr. Phillips ordered him to go away, saying that he could't bear to be waited on by a slave. "Excuse me, massa," said the negro, "must stay here, 'cause I am responsible for tne silver ware." ?-?? Ground Arms ?We were informed last evening by reliable authority,4hat four whole regiments of Fed erel troops had Iain down their arms at Baton Rouge, their officers having all resigned without exception. We commend them for the act; knowing themselves odgaged in a dishonorable career, they have voluntatily abandoned it, and should now be recognized as "white men" wheresoever dispersed. The Federal authorities are seeing the beginning of the end?the hand-writing upon the wall already speaks in trumpet tones, "weighed in the balance aud found wanting.? Port Hudson Courier. State Governors ?The following is a list of the Governors of the thirteen States, com posing the Confederate States of America: Alabama?J. G . Shorter. Arkansas?'H. Flanagan. Florida?John Milton. Georgia?Joseph K. Brown. Kentucky?Richard Hawes. Louisiana?Thomas O. Moore. Mississippi?John J. Pettues. Missouri?C. F. Jackson. North Carolina?Zebe B. Vaoce. South Carolina?M. L. Bonhara. Tennessee?Isham G. Harris. Texas?F. R. Lubpock. Virginia?John Letcher. In the Indiana House of Representatives a motion was made to adopt Gov. Seymour's message in lieu on Gov. Morton,8, which had not been furnished; also, a resolution to suspend hostilities and call a convention. The latter was referred. We are told that the stories about Mr. Seward's heavy drinking, so rife the last year, are declared to gfow out of the fact that he drinks largely of cold tea, witnout milk, ont of a black bottle. Valaudingham has consented to candidate for Governor of Ohio. We suppose he will be elected. He will certainly test the opinions of the people of the State in relation to the war. ? They have an automaton figure of a man on exhibit ion in in Paris which talks. It was constructed by M. Faber, late professor of Mathematics in a German University. The Northern paDers sav that all th* at Port Royal have been ordered North, in view of active operations from that point against Charleston. Newspapers in Texas.?The San Antonio Herald says: "We oannot count more than ten papers now published in this State, out of some sixty a year ago. War and blockade are death to newspapers." , ?>? ? , Meagher's Irish Brigade, which went into the battle at Fredericksburg with five full regiments, has now less than three hundred men fit for duty. 80 the Northern papers say.. The library of a clergyman in England was valued at ?3, while his wine was sstimateH ?-. -pane one observed that he must have thought as the Apostles did, that the latter killeth, but tho spirit giveth life. ? * How do the ladies of the confederacy resemble the speculators?
