This addition has been made to guard against capture or loss of the certificates on their way to Europe, and also to give an official supervision there. I now send, by Mr. G. N. Sanders, one thousand certificates for the Gulf ports and five hundred for the Atlantic. In order to have the payments put in proper form you had better deposit the certificates with our depositaries, Messrs Frazier, Trenholm & Co., at Liverpool, directing them to receive the money and deposit the same to the credit of the Treasurer of the Confederate States. This will place matters in a business form and relieve you of the necessity of keeping accounts. In order that you may act understandingly, permit me to apprise you of such financial arrangements as have already been made. At your suggestion, I have appointed Mr. Jas. Spence, of Liverpool, financial agent, and have requested him to n

Evidently the attack will be made with spirit Upon the God of the just and the strong arm of our commander do we rely for success and re-tender them to a fresh faith, the wholesome welcome we gave them nearly two years ago. To show how much the Charlestonians are affected by these threats, we give the following extract from a latter from that city: "Everything here looks gay and business like. The ladies parade the battery of afternoons in crowns, looking as beautiful and happy as if no war prevailed. Frazier's wharf presents as lively a scene — with rattling drays, ships receiving and discharging cargo — as of old. Meeting street, too, especially in front of the Southern Express office, looks as busy as a tree in a tar barrel, with its numerous wagons in front of the door, receiving as well as discharging freight.

how" the Yankees some things they have not seen before. The late battle have left us this also to show — that our artillery is equal or superior to the Yankees. Stuart, succeeding Jackson, fought our guns at shorter range, I hear, than ever before, and hence the terrible execution. I have mentioned the batteries at Chancellorsville and on our extreme right, their accuracy, precision, and effect. On Lee's and Howison's hills, two Georgia batteries, of Cabell's artillery battalion, Capt. Frazier's and Capt. Carleton's, deserve especial mention, and did fearful work among the foe. Handled with surpassing skill and unrivalled courage, checking and mowing down Sedgwick's men, after firing all except the last round of ammunition, bringing off everything in safety, even the dead bodies of their comrades, and in retreat after Marye's Heights were taken, giving the enemy a parthian shot, they have won a proud name for distinguished service on that memorable day. One incident deser

deracy by the merchants of Liverpool, and was stationed near this place for several weeks during the past summer. That splendid company, the Gilmer Grays, who were stationed here last winter, are said to be among the captured. But we will not persist in narrating the sickening details. We do not pretend to speak advisedly, but the thing is regarded in intelligent circles, here as being one of the most disgraceful occurrences of the war.-- The garrison is said to have been in command of Gen. Frazier, of whom we know nothing. That noble regiment, the 1st Tenn., which had been recently placed on detached service in the vicinity of the gap, were ordered to this place, and took up their line of march hither on Sunday morning before the surrender, and reached here on last Sabbath. It is understood, since their arrival here, that the Yankees pursued them near. Jonesville, Va.

Gen. Frazier was under the impression that the place was invested on the south by Gen. Burnside and on the north by Gen. De Corsey, each with a very large force. Others th Pridemore escaped. Since the above was written, we learn that we had a large amount of bacon and wheat at the Gap, and 100 beef cattle. At 11 on Wednesday Gen. Frazier received a dispatch from Gen. Jones, directing him to hold the position at all hazards, and that necessary reinforcements and supplies would reach him in due t

Connelly held a paper from the Tredegar Iron Works stating that he was a discharged Federal prisoner, and had been employed in that establishment. The Mayor continued the case until Saturday next, and remanded the prisoner to jail until that time.
