ts from the very commencement of his public life he seems to have distinguished himself in whatever body he was and to have won by his eloquence achievements a leading place in the estimation of is associates. A zealous advocate of the of the State-Rights party of Virginia he, for the most part, adhered to them achievements through a long and arduous No public man of his day labored than he did for the preservation of the Constitution; and he was the first to declare, along with the Carolinian, that the Constitution and were one and inseparable. From period of the first nullification control from the time when he voted alone in against the Force Bill up to his appearance in Washington at the Peace he seems to have entertained the opinion that the two must perish together. The same sense of the paramount obligation upon every public preserve the Constitution followed his administration of the Executive affairs of the United States. Forced to close between a desire t

From the coast. Augusta. March 31. --The Savannah News, of this morning, learns from passengers just arrived, that scouts of the South Carolina army surprised a party of Federal in a house on North Edisto Island, on Friday last, killed three, wounded others, and captured twenty. They also took three pieces of cannon and several Federal uniforms. One Carolinian was slightly wounded. The Savannah Republican has a similar report, and also the following later intelligence, learned from a trustworthy gentleman, viz: That on Saturday General Evans, with 1,000 men, proceeded to attack the enemy, supposing him to be in force of only 2500; but instead, found him to be five or six thousand strong. The Confederates drive-in the enemy's picket, killing one and mortally wounding two, and capturing twenty. The Confederates then retired in good order.

r, and strong to endure, Mr. Simms has borne poverty, misfortune, exile and neglect, with a manly fortitude that never asked condolence, nor stooped for aid But the people of our State owe him a debt which they have thus far feebly acknowledged, and can never wholly pay; and at such a time as this, it is eminently fitting that he should receive their universal and unstinted sympathy. We propose, however, that this shall be exhibited now in something more substantial than words. Let every Carolinian who has had his State knowledge enlarged, or his State love stimulated and strengthened by Mr. Simms's labors, come forward to raise from the dust the generous home of the poet-novelist of Woodland — Let him bring, and bring at once, his contribution, not as a charity doled out — which the object of it would spurn — but as a spontaneous and hearty tribute to the first of Southern authors an acknowledgment of the great services he has done the State, and as encouragement for him hereafter t<

o say that, although he removes from the city, he will still remain within reach of those who may desire to confer with him, as he removes only to Belvidere farm, and will be at the Consulate, in Broad street, daily as usual. We learn that an order is to be issued for all persons possessing cotton to have it removed promptly from the limits of the city, as its presence during the bombardment from the enemy's shells is considered dangerous. A correspondent of the Columbia (S. C.) Carolinian, writing from Charleston on Monday, says: The house of Mr. Barrett, on Society street, was first struck by a shell last night. It passed through the roof and two stories, and buried itself in the cellar, without injuring any of the sleeping women in the house. Another struck the carriage establishment of Benedict & Co., passed through and fell in the cistern; two fell on the lot of the Artesian well, exploding, scattering bricks, & c.; another struck Martin's Insurance Office, next

The Yankee General Thomas. --It is not so certain that the Confederates have gained by the exchange of Thomas for Rosecrans, though the appointment of the renegade Virginian has been made a subject of ridicule. A correspondent of the Columbia (S C.) Carolinian, speaking of this new traitor, says: Our journals seem to have settled that Lincoln in relieving Rosecrans has done us a service. This remains to be seen. Rosecrans had shown little judgment in his business affairs, and decidedly failed in all his undertakings before the revolution. He had no experience in the handling of troops until made a general officer. Maj. Gen. Thomas, who has relieved him, on the other hand, served with distinction at Buena Vista, and other battlefields in Mexico; was accustomed to command, and has borne an important part in several battles of this war. Martus and Cromwell were both second in command in victorious armies whose commands were successful on no other occasions, in no other ca

The Petition for the Removal of Gen. Bragg. The Columbia Carolinian says: The memorial to the President (which was only not presented to him, because he arrived at Chattanooga and personal conference with the officers made it unnecessary,) was signed by two Lieutenant-Generals, two Major Generals, seven Brigadier-Generals, and one Colonel commanding a brigade. The distrust of Gen. Bragg was then generally prevalent. Whether it was well founded or not, and whether any of the officers then entertaining it have seen fit to change their mind or not, we do not pretend to say.

High water. --Owing to the recent heavy rains, all the streams throughout this section have risen considerably. The Congress has the appearance of a young ocean, as the low lands are all under water. A dispatch was received yesterday stating that the Augusta train was unable to get through, as a trestle had been washed away. At a late hour last night the Greenville had not arrived, and it is generally believed that the road has been damaged. --Columbia ( S. C.) Carolinian.
The Daily Dispatch: February 12, 1864., [Electronic resource], Gen. A. P. Hill, and his Columbia friends. (search)
Gen. A. P. Hill, and his Columbia friends. --The following pleasant correspondence we find in a late number of the Columbia South Carolinian.--The fact, says the editor of the Carolinian, that it is written in the familiar terms of friendship, and was not intended for the public eye, will detract none the less from the spirit and naivete which are manifest throughout the two letters: Columbia, S. C., Sept., 1863. Gen. A. P. Hill, C. S. A. Dear Sir: Please accept this pair of spurs, the offering of myself, aided by a few friends, as a slight testimony of our admiration of you as a patriot and soldier, and our gratitude for your brave efforts to protect our dear country against her enemies. You do not need anything to spur you on to noble enterprises, and therefore, we beg you will understand that these spurs are intended only for your horse — unless, indeed, you happen to come across any young laggard, who is skulking from the service of his country in the field, whe

Old currency. --Every man who owns a four per cent bond has made 33⅓ per cent, aside from the contingent profit that may accrue from holding the bond. Let our people bear this fact in mind, and invest all they can in the new securities.--Thoughtless people may suppose that because the present currency is to be taxed 33⅓ per cent. after the 1st of April, it is therefore depreciated. Such is not the case. Every outstanding note to-day is more valuable than ever before, for the simple reason that if funded in season it commences thereafter to bear interest, which it does not at the present time. Hence it is a wise provision of the Government which, while seeking to diminish a redundant circulation not only protects the holders of its currency, but actually pays a profit to every individual who avails himself of the benefit of the funding act.--Carolinian
