'V-JBF Prentice Still in the Ring. Despite the ravages of Ciucinnati "Bustbead" and Kentucky Bourbou, old . * Prentice is not yet quite "burned out," as will be seen by the following fitful flashes, which we find in the Louisville ; Journal, of the 7th : The editor of the New Orleans True. Delta says he cannot see, from any in% telligence he has, that "the status of Gen. Bunks is effected in the slightest degree." We think that his "status" was very considerably affected by the disgraceful whipping ho got from Dick Taylor. If it wasn't, it is a very hard status to effect Gen. Grant now occupies the cetebra"Wbite House," a few miles out of Richmond, as his headquarters. We wish that the still more celebrated White j House at Washington were a fhousanfh part as well occupied. The radicals say) with a singular dis- ( regard of truih, that they are unconditioually for the Union. Unconditionally for what Union ? Any that the people < of this country ever saw. Last Saturday, one of the "pedagogues who have flogged" President Lincoln, ' paid him a visit at the White House.? ? * Exchange. Wc could almost hope that he did his old work over again. Tto T.in.nlfi filitnrc inrlnltrp in no V ' ^,MW'" v'" v*" c opiuioris that he has not prepared for their use. They arc like the Otabcritaus, who think no food fit to cat until the co"U has chewed it for them. Mr L-tic-iiu is a very lean man to have the disposal of so maoy fat oflrees. j An abolition editor asks if we acknowledge that negroes have souls to be saved. We acknowledge that he has one or half a one to be damned. ? ' w To the People of South Carolina. Headq'rs Dep't S. C , Ga. and Fla., Charleston, S. C., July 19, 186-4 Twenty-five hundred able-bodied negroes are immediately needed to work on the fortifications around Charleston, and under the pressure of this necessity, impressments have been ordered [ feel confident, however, that the people bf this State need only be informed of the wants of the military authorities to ensure a prompt response to this appeal, and 1 therefore call upon them to furnish without deloy their respective quotas, established by the law of the State, Full credit will be given upou the next call for labor for all such negroes as may be voluntarily s'-ut- forward,and the Gov eminent a^uuies all responsibiliiics that attach in the ease of negroes impressed, and will take the saute care of them. If the Planters in different neighborhoods will have th' ir negroes c -Hefted a' particular Depots, and wiil notify Major W. II. Echols, Chief Engineer, of the time and place selected, agents will be sent to receive tlietu. The same officer will upon notification, 1mve agents at the different Depots in this ciiy to reccivt and provide .subsistence, medical attention, ?&e , for all negroes sent to him.

Noble HeroismYesterday a gentleman related to us this incident: A soldier ot the Clinch Rifles, of the 5th Georgia regiment, was here with a serious w?und iu the head?an old one which emrinued to suppurate, and which brojgM ?>u. when thesoldier was exposed to the Miu. malaria or speciesof brain fever. The Medical Board offered to retire bitu. He went to bis brother, who n ntiv<if?iati. and said "Will I befit for field service with this wound ?" "Ben," answered the Doctor, "the wound is bad ; you must take great care of yourself, and 1 can onlv say you maybe.'" "Well then," said the noble fellow, "I'll give the Government the benefit of your doubt." Aud he left with his company.. C Let the name of Benjamin Holt, oth ^ Georgia Regiment, Infantry, be ppt down on the (special roll of honor. ?Auyusta Constitutionalist. ? m - ? m A Race with the Cars ' The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the fol? lowing racy yarn : At Morrow, a green looking matt got upon the cars, tied a large cur dog he had with him to the iron stauueheon of the hindmost car, and deliberately took bis seat among the la, dos-?Away bounded the iron horse with bUs usual speed, to the no small wonder r0 of the countryman, who had never ridden so fast before. Arriving at Foster's crossings, he walked back to look .at Lis Iavoniu UDliuuij auu uis oui |/ri9i* iuuy ut' J * imagined when he fouud only the head of the dog attached to the rope with which he hod fa^encd him. After being perfectly satflled tuat "the dog was dead," he merely uttered, "Well, this is the odIj critter that could beat that rowing." The Tender.MerCies of the wicked. The Vicksburg corespnodent of ! the New York Tribune gives the following account of the condition of The negroes torn from -their homes by General Shermen in Mississipi; .? Some 3000 slaves of all ages and colors, i*eacded here yesterday. It was one of the saddest spectacles witnessed for a long time in Vicksbunr. The woman i , 1 -1 ! C 1 , , ,1 ana cnuuren were aimosi starved i and half naked Such a terrible! picture of abject want and squalid misery can neither be imagined nor portrayed with pen. Many of the woman and children were sick with fevers brought on by the great fatigue and exposure of the long march from Meridian, Enterprise Quitman, and other places. Will not the friends of freedom and the humane philanthropists of the North come forward at once, and with their generous hands rescue these liberated slaves from premature graves? We learn from the Bosten Courier of a later date than the suffering of these poor homeless wret<ihess,continued in all its intensity. No more political capital could be made out of them. and nothing was done to help1 them. They were free to per- : ish. : Yankee Outrages in Florida ?New , Burnt troy. We copy the following communication from the Lake City 1 Columbian of this week: , The deserters, about one hundred strong came up on last , Tuesday night and burned up i New Troy, the county site of ; Lafayette County. Not a house was left. They also burnt nearly j all the houses in the centre and I Southern portione of the county, I leaving only a few, and it is | presumed the owners of fchosc were either concerned or syra pathzed with the deserters. They carried off all the negroes, horses, and mules they could get. They say they did this in revenge fori the injury thetroops did them, j by burning up and carrying oil" their property. It is deplorable fact that be- j tween the operations of our troops j and the deserters, Lafayette! County is made a sad wilde ncss; j hundreds of women and children rendered eompletly destitute,! without shelter, foodj or clothing ate thrown upon the cold charities of a friendless world. The; government nor its citzens nciher | caring for or offering assistance j to the is their unfortunate condition. If something is not done many of them will most certainly j starve. . I The Corruption at Washington. I The Springfield liepuWican, the leading New England Uepubcan journal, gives the following : i It is a sad, a shocking picture ' of life in Washington, which our ! correspondents are giving us. A bureau of the Treasury Department made a house of seduction and prostitution. The necessities of poor and pretty women made the means of their debauchiMr/ * \innnf /iHini'ilc ! e?.y l}y '"B11 gw'tK.t'.via j Members of Congress putting; their mistresses into clerkships in the departments: An honorable 1 Senator knocked down in the j street by a woman whom he had i outraged. Whiskey drinking ad j ! libitum. The Government cheat-; ed in contracts and openly robbed i by its employees. Writes our; careful correspondent?a long resident in the capital ?"Washington was never so villainously i corrupt as at the present time. In the palmy days of Southern rule, of slavery, there was not half the corruption there is now." We doubt not this is strictly true, and we repeat, it is a sad, shock. ir>/v rvi/.f Ulg The Southern (Miss.) Motive learns from reliable authority that Mr. Nat. Best, who belongs to Wirt Adams command, was captured by the Yankees on their last raid and turned over to the negroes. They stripped off his clothes, gave him 500 lashes on his naked back and then shot him. Three ladies, who were hid in the woods by the roadside, witnessed the allair, and when the negroes disappeard, they went to the spot and found the body horribly mangled. The neighbors hurried , the remain3. 4 s Some of the English papers arc growl' ing because Quecu Victoria sfill accepts the $3,0C 000 allowed her u year for hci "reception entertainments," although she has g none for three years One of them suggests that a portion of thai salary ought to be returned.
