to be called out except in case of insurrection or of actual invasion; the younger men who composed the second class were held liable to serve six months in each year. Some hundreds of commissions were issued for the militia regiments. Major Patrick Ferguson, known from his services in New Jersey and greatly valued, was deputed to visit each district in South Carolina to procure on the spot lists of its militia, and to see. that the orders of Cornwallis were carried into execution. Any Carolinian thereafter taken in arms might be sentenced to death for desertion and bearing arms against his country. Cornwallis to Clinton, 30 June, 1780. The proposals of those who offered to raise provincial corps were accepted; and men of the province, void of honor and compassion, received commissions, gathered about them profligate ruffians, and roamed through Carolina, indulging in rapine, and ready to put patriots to death as outlaws. Cornwallis himself never regarded a deserter, or any who

A commercial Move. The Columbia Carolinian publishes a card from some of the ladies of that city suggesting that the ladies of Columbia unanimously and positively refuse to purchase any goods bought this spring from any Northern city, and that the merchants be advised to bring from Charleston, or any Confederate city, imported goods, or to import directly themselves.

is, I think, exceedingly improbable. I am glad to see that your people are waking up all over your State, and I cannot see what your Convention can be waiting for, unless it is to kill time. A gentleman said to me a few days ago, "those Virginians love to speak very much; pity what they loved to act as well. " Are you a ware that Gov. Brown, of Georgia. Hon Wm. L Yancey, Hon. Mr. Benjamin, Hon Mr. Wigfall, and most of the leading men in the secession movement, every where, are Carolinian? A rumor reached this city, a few days ago, in the effect that President Davis had vetoed the bill for suppressing the African slave trade. That report needs confirmation, and your Convention need not be at all alarmed upon that subject. The weather to day was clear and fine, but as my present writing a regular March wind is blowing, and there is every appearance of a storm. Our new Brigadier General, Beauregard, is here, and before long I will take his likeness. I ind

— Lincoln's call for troops — the excitement in Baltimore — How the news was received, etc. Incidents of the surrender of Sumter. A Charleston dispatch relates the following incidents: Major Anderson stated that he surrendered his sword to General Beauregard, as the representative of the Confederate Government. General Beauregard said he would not receive it from so brave a man. He says Major Anderson made a staunch fight, and elevated himself in the estimation of every true Carolinian. During the fire, when Major Anderson's flag-staff was shot away, a boat put off from Morris' Island, carrying another American flag for him to fight under — a noteworthy instance of the honor and chivalry of the South Carolina seceders and their admiration for a brave man. During the raging of the flames in Fort Sumter, the officers and soldiers were obliged to lay on their faces in the casemates to prevent suffocation. Major Anderson expressed himself much pleased that no

e received from Washington. later. Troops continue to pour in from all parts of the State. Half disciplined, as many of them are, they undergo rigid drills. It is estimated that 10,000 soldiers are now in and about the city. Three regiments are encamped at the Race Course, and two at Pikesville, three miles beyond. General Beauregard is very active, and is strengthening every position in the harbor and on the land. He has offers of regiments from Alabama and Georgia; but Carolinian are so eager to serve, that he declines any other aid. He says he can get 50,000 men from this State alone. At Columbia, every man from 16 to 60 is under arms. Ten companies from the State capital are now here, and more want to come. The impression prevails here, from good authority, that the British Government will undoubtedly recognize the independence of the Southern Confederacy at a very early day. The same is true of France.

The secession of Virginia. The press of the South is commenting on the secession of Virginia. The Columbia (S. C. ) Carolinian says: The news of this movement, though not unexpected, created great enthusiasm yesterday. The usual salute was fired, and the bell "Secession" was rung for an hour. The flags previously raised in the city, soon had an eighth star added. Our own flag, during the high winds of last week, was blown loose, and the halyards or cord by which it is raised, had run out and fallen down; so that it was a problem how to reach the top of the staff, and run up our colors. While we were on the roof, deliberating how to overcome the difficulty, a Virginia printer in our employ said that flag must be raised, and volunteered to "shin up" the pole, and put the cord through the pulley at the top. This he did, and the flag of the Confederate States, with the addition of the eighth star, was soon proudly floating in the evening breeze. At night, the streets

Departure of troops. --The 1st Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, Col. Maxcy Gregg, commanding, left the city yesterday, marching orders having been received on Wednesday. As the gallant representatives of the chivalry and manhood of the Palmetto State deployed through the various streets en route for the point of embarkation, they were everywhere received with the most unmistakable demonstrations of pleasure and gratification, and mental as well as vocally expressed wishes for a victorious journey and happy return were freely showered on them. A member of the Regiment requests us to publish the following as a soldier's farewell: To the Richmond Ladies.--God bless them for their kindness to us. We go cheerfully to meet the foe; rest assured that our vile enemy shall never desecrate your homes until they have first trodden over the bodies of our regiment. A Grateful Carolinian.

some weeks, and consequently leaked dreadfully; but being anxious to get out of the difficulty, Mr. Amiel, accompanied by Sanchez, took to the boat. They stood in for the land, but were until two o'clock Tuesday morning before they reached it, when they succeeded in getting ashore on the Raccoon Keys. The boat took in water so fast that while one rowed the other was compelled to ball out the water, and at one period it was thought the yawl would founder. They were much exhausted when they got to the land, and tried to sleep, but the "mosquitos" were too much even for a seaboard Carolinian, and in the morning they discovered several snakes not far from where they tried to rest. The boat having become tighter by being in the water, they reached Bull's Island on Tuesday, where they were very kindly treated by Mr. Wm. Whilden and others, and through the kindness of the former and Mr. J. Torrent, they were enabled to get to this city on Friday morning in a boat.--Charleston Cour.

[by Telegraph.] Charleston, Nov. 7. --The U. S. Judge for this district resigned his office this morning in open court. Columbia, S. C.,, Nov. 7. --In the Legislature yesterday, a joint resolution was adopted making the special order of the day for Thursday, the question of reorganizing the militia and preparing the State for defence. Mr. Brist, urging it in the House, said action should be prompt, immediate, unqualified, effective and decisive in case of Lincoln's election. Hon. Wm. C. Boyce spoke yesterday, from the steps of the Congaree Hotel, urging secession in case of Lincoln's election. He was followed by other prominent Carolinian. Charleston, Nov. 7--P. M. --James Connor, U. S. District Attorney, and W. F. Colcock, Collector of the port, have resigned.

rials and perils of the country as well as they — that they should believe that such a people could have submitted with acquiescence, and without resistance to their unholy demands. One word in conclusion. You are in a revolution. We are all embarked in one bottom. Our persons, our property, our families, our institutions, our civilization, and all that men hold dear and precious in life are concerned. Have faith in each other have charity for each other. The heart of every Carolinian is true to his State. Let there be but one party, and let that be the party of the State against the common foe. Look at the developments! How proud and glorious was the unanimity of the whole representation in the Legislature of South Carolina Why, it was a thing almost unparalleled in the annals of legislation. It is my firm belief that, when that Convention assembles, that the vote to take this State out of the Federal Union will be equally unanimous. Already do we see, by the
