of 6ur worthy post master, was wounded on the
31st ult.6 at Petersburg. His wound is ia the
right arm.

The Irqn-Clad Oath,
As administered at Savannab, is*ery stringent.
and en,s with. the words: "All -this I do most
solemnly and sincerely swear, without any hesi
tation; mental reservation, or secret evasion of
parpose in me whatever, pledging my--sacred
honor, my life and my property, for the due ob
servance of this my solemn oath- of allegiance."
A description of the person is append6d,
The 15th of April.
A great jollification no doubt took. place in
*Charleston yesterday, ever memorable as the
/anniversary of the lowering of Sumtar's flag.
This d:ay was set apart for once. more unfurling
it to the breeze, by MIaj Anderson; and Henry
Wade Beecher called upon to be- the drator.
*But little glory can be .made out of it howe-:er;
Sumter never was taken by assaul,' burt resisted
- all the eff'orts brought to bear against it... Not
withstahding, we will hear of a big time on the
strength of it.
Who ar$e'flnes
This community was no little agitated, on
Thursday, by the' report from some flying indi
vidual, that the- yankees. were-at Springhill, about
J 8 miles distant. Of course, there was no truth
in it, and but little ground' for being so badly'
scared.- We hope, should they ever come, these
ftying alarisats wilf run toward them inistead of
away. In the midst df a thousan.d alarms and
*troubles, it will be *ell if they assume a virtue if
they have~ it not,--put on a-bold. front, and as
certain- the difference .between friend and foe,
betore -epreading such ',ild and unfounded re
ports, frightening womei and childien, not to
say men.
No Doubtoafit
Our neighbor oftihe Edgefield Adr$ser makes
a capitol lilt in the following paragraph. 'No
doubt of it, there be many. who 'ook for the
good timle spoken of, when apple and peach will
reign lords paramtount. Should a worse enemy
than oid King ~Jack not visit us, -theyll have a
huge tibin:
"The moon filled on Monday right last, and
*the weathe~isstill warm; so the probability of a
killing-frost is well nigli over, and the fruit crop
may be considered .an accomplished .facty As.
sootn as the appred and peaches are faintly streak
ed, every body will fall to diAtilling Peach anad
Apple Brandy. What agood time is c ing.
What a Millenniuni for Cotife'derate . peop -eg

An iucident worth "mentioning,in" connection,
begging the lady's pardon for telling it,-occur-.
red while gathering .supplies. Mrs. H. Brantly
calling on a merchant, requested a aonation of
sugar. Our friend *ith the su*r said he had
nothing to put it in, and that if she would take
off her hat be would fill it. Quick as thought Mrs.
,B. accepted the banter, and to his surprise les-I
sened the sugar pile considerably, proudly walk

From. Mississippi and Alabama.
AUGUSTA, April .-A special despatch' to the
Columbus %'un,' of the 4th, states that. General
Adams, commanding the District of Alabama.

Watts.
The Appeal newspaper is to go to )facon) the

The Post Office has beensent with'letters mailed,
to Columbus, in safety.
In Selma all the cotton was burfed, but little
Government property' was saved. The loss iS
many millions. The los4 of the-city is attributed
to a 'disgraceful. stampede. There were very
few f Forrest's men- iii the figpt as his comnmand'
had adt arrived in time to, meet the enemy's,!
assault, which occurred on Siturday afternoon
and contiiiued for an hour'very hard. The enemV
suddenly charged our left on the'West of Selma,
where our line ws weakest, and cast a few shell
niong- the horse-holders who-stampeded., Our
forces then retreated in confusion to Selma,
Genq. Forrest and.Adami# boldly ,cut their -%ay
out tovards Montgomery, but wit some difficuhy.
Gen. Taylor left Demopolis the same evenil"',
but before the fight begn.
General Forrest telegraphed Governor Watts
on Monday afternoon fhat lie is on the Mont
g6mery side of the Alabama River, and that
there is t1hirty miles which must be defended.
''his inspired conlidence, anid every body went
to work t6 -effeczt this -end.
The Rebel printing office -got away sfely
from Selma. - The other offices were lost.
The enemy have retired from- Blakely and
viciDity. It'is believed by the authorities t.hat
be has move'd towards Mobile from Selmna.
DANvrLa, A pril 9.-Gen. Lee hmoved to
the'vicinity of Farcnville, followed :Grant-.I
figbdng daily. There was heavy figbting- on
Thursday; no particulars.' The enerby have
established a hospigl at ,the Junction, where
there is-a large -number of their wounded,
Th'eir loss was very heavy,.in the late~ fights.
They are npt approaching this w'ay on the line
of the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad, edui
munication, being still open to Keysville.
A wounded 'soldier, who'escaped from the

Not long sihece a youth -accidentally swal
lowed a leaden bullet. His friends were very
naturally alarmed, and' his father, that no
means might be spared to save' his' darling
boy's life, r;ent post baste to a surgeon of skil
diecting his messenger to tell the circui
stances. and urge his coming witjhout delay.
The doctor was found, heard the dismal
tale, and with as much unconcern as be would
manifest in a case of headache, sat down and
wrote the following, locanic' acte :
"Sir ; Don't alarm yourself. If after three
weeks the bullet is not removed, give the boy
a charge of powder.. -
"P.S.-Do'taim the boy at anybody."
We are gratified to learn that the valuable'
government arsexal, naval foundaries, stores,
etc., at Selma, were removed from that point,
some titne-smnee, to. a more secure location,
where they will 'be secure from any danger of
Yankee raids.
