traveling public to ascribe them to the reason above suggested. Seriously, it is a great annoyance to the passenger on urgent business, and especially to the hundreds of furloughed soldiers that daily crowd the trains on their way southward to snatch a brief interval of peace and quiet with loved ones at home, and who measure time by no golden standard. The trip from Richmond was marked by little of interest to the traveler or the reading public. At a certain important point in upper North Carolina Gen. Matt W. Ransom's brigade was stationed, and industrious as beavers erecting entrenchments and fortifications, in anticipation of an expected raid by the Yankees on the coast. The same spirit seemed to prevail along the line of the railroad, and, as far as I could learn from inquiry, prevailed throughout the State. At every station the soldiers received gratifying manifestations of sympathy from the ladies, who are not behind their fair sisters of other States in exhibitions of

Its healthfulness, eligible location on the west bank of the Savannah, refined society, and commercial importance, render it very desirable as a place of residence. Augusta is the adopted home of some of the eminent men of the Confederacy, including Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, lately of Alabama, and formerly charge d'affaires of the United States to Belgium. After an eventful experience as politician, lawyer, and preacher by turns, and finding "all is vanity, " he has assumed the cassock, and devoted himself to the ministry.

A trip South.[Special Correspondence of Dispatch.] Clayton, Ala., Sept. 12th, 1863. After a week of tedious travel by rail from Richmond I have at length reached my destination. When it is remembered that the trip by the identical route was, several months ago, accomplished in three days, you will derive a correct idea how the iron-horse now annihilates time and space. It is presumed, however, that the war has compelled railroad companies, like other corporations, to the practice of economy, else with very rapid traveling our resources in this regard would soon be exhausted. It was suspected by a majority of the passengers, especially on the Wilmington and Manchester road, that the slow progress and frequent and unnecessary delays were prompted by the collusion of one of the conductors with certain railroad hotels. It is certain that that official observed when the train left Wilmington that he didn't expect to make the connection at Kingsville, although we started at sc

en announced by the Yankee journals to be reserved as a retribution for the "original and infernal wickedness" of the devoted city. It is possible Charleston may fall, but should the enemy attempt to cross the threshold of the State, the example of Marion, the "Swamp Fox," and other partisan chiefs of the Revolution, is before her people. Let them profit by the example. Leaving Kingsville, a ride of twelve hours over the South Carolina road brought us to the beautiful city of Augusta, Georgia, next to Savannah the most important city in the State. The streets are broad, laid off with great regularity, and shaded by rows of beautiful trees.

e spirit seemed to prevail along the line of the railroad, and, as far as I could learn from inquiry, prevailed throughout the State. At every station the soldiers received gratifying manifestations of sympathy from the ladies, who are not behind their fair sisters of other States in exhibitions of practical patriotism. The first meeting of ladies in the Confederacy that I have seen recorded in response to the appeal of the President in relation to skulkers and deserters, was held in Rockingham, N.C. Gov. Vance had called out the militia to the defence of the State, and they were hastening to the several points selected for rendezvous in prompt obedience to the call.--Crowds of these could be seen at one or more places on the principal thoroughfare of travel in the State. The people of South Carolina are now fully aroused to the critical situation of their beloved seaport city; and though some districts of the State, from want of due appreciation of the necessity, were slo
