T\ Bahnest . —The Sumter Republican, in noticing the action of the planters to substitute grain for the cotton crop, as the best war policy, states that Dr. •'arratt has instructed the overseer of Iiis plantation, in Sumter cotiutv, not to plant any cotton whatever, but to plant 1200 acres of corn, potatoes' A.c., to aid in supplying provisions for the '-"Ulli during the war. This is the pit it which will soon "conquer a .^caee, and lift the blockade. We commend the example to all our plant ing friends.— lire. It is to our knowledge that some planters here have already given simi lar orders to their overseers, for which we consider them worthy of praise. . ». - <•have good ne vsfrom Mississippi lue planters are pilling up their cot. tun and got ting it ready for the faggot the moment the enemy advance«, they are also sending their servants up the liver to work m the fortifications; and they say they are ready to make any sacrifice the Government may require. •—-I ppeal.

We have the satisfaction of notic ing, through our exchangee, that, con tributions of Bells have been made, iind- r the requisite call of Gen. Beau regard, from many Towns. have the same interest, in common wuh all, in this great work of defenoe, and would not desire to have the reflection cast upon our people in the aeheive ment of Southern Independence. Would it not be proper for the citizens of our parish to take this matter of contribution under serious considera tion, and see if it be not pract'cable for them to be ae liberal as others have been? When we take a retrospective view and see with what energy and action our citizens have given their means, whenever called upon, and with what alacrity and zeal tnen have been sought for to contribute oui*quota, for common defence, and with what cheer fulness on all public occasions we have responded to demands that have been made to assist those In our midst. Can if bo jr.fSsiblo that at this period, and in this hour offrir. 1 and need, the call of Beauregard is to be Htmofimi and unheard ? Will this paiisli remain passive, whose antiquity ig a by-word of proud annunciation to those citizens who have lived in it fo# a series of years, whose fathers lie entombed within its limit?; Aid whose sons are now battling in defence of Southern Independence and honor? We are under the belief that the cull will be liberally responded to, and that many of our planters, after seeing the necessity and emergency of the call, will without hesitation, come forward and make the reouiete contribution of bolls. It is b iter for us to donate half we possess for the purpose of, giving our brave volunteers maans of defending our (Jotmtry, than to lose all for the want of them. The cause of the Con federacy is our couse —what we bc&tow is for our own protection and defence. Then Wv ask, in thffriwno of our Coun try—in the name of our cause, which is just and honorable (partaking of the greaîest blessings bestowed on man, should success crown our arms, or of the greatest ètnifte that ever be fell a nation if adversity attend us,) if this appeal made, will be lost upon the air and pass unheard and vnmpowled ? We cannot believe it will. or Judge Kg ail. We find it stated in the South-West ern, that. .Tudgo Egan of the 11th ,Tii dicial District., has given the Confede rate Government 11500 per annum of hie salary towards carrying on the war. This liberality is in keeping with the .TudgCl well known character a« n generotis and wTude lou'öd patriot. The- South -Western * commends the example to other Judged of the State, but this is asking too much from some of them. Thoy may not all be equally independent with Judge E. It is a well known fact, that salaried officers suffer losses in times like these ; the price of living is extremely high, while their incomes remain fixed to a certain amount. [For the t'jtiou ] M r E »rron,'—Having learned that many hogs have died lately in the pa rish from what is called "the thumps," I send you a remedy communicated to me by a highly respectable citizen, who, within a few weeks, has lost by tie disease more than forty heads. Feed them from a trough in which shelled corn is put, filled up with water, stir it well and the hogs will drink the water. This has been found an effect, ual remedy, for the disease. A mixture of tar, sulphur and grease rubbed over swines will relieve them entirely from lice, which arc «orne unes so destructive to these animals. TnR N ashvuxk —The Wilmington (N.C. ) Journal, of the 22d, says: "The steamer Nashville went to sea on last Monday evening, in defiance of two blockading steamers oft' Fort Macou. She passed between them, having been fired at some thirty times by the blockaders. The Nashville is now safe from the clutches of the Burn s:Jos and the blockaders.

Bo absorbed are our minds at pres ent in our own affairs, that most, per sons look with profound indifference upon 'he great events now transpiring in the neighboring republic of Mexico. A new chapter of history is thereopen ifig. Hie t-rifilrt alliance of France England and Spain, has eent its fleets and armies there, ostensibly to enforce pecuniary claims, but. with a fixed de sign undoubtedly of putting an end to the anaf ehy and civil war which have so long dodolaled that beautiful, but unhappy Country. Their armies are already on their uareh to the ca pital. This interference by one go vernment with the internal affairs of another independent State, is a new thing on the Ameriean continent, nor can any American government long regard it with indifference. In what will this invasion end ? It is believed by many, and; in fact, it is openly af firmed by the European papers, that the ulterior object of (lie alliance is to erect a monarchy on the ruins of the republic. The Mexican crown, it it; sairt, has been offered to an Austrian Ärfehduke, with the guaranty "f support by an army cf occupation. TjVhen the people of Mexico threw rtff the Spanish yoke, they modelled their constitution after that of the United States But they understood nothing ol the principles on which re publiean institutions can only be safely based. They had the form of a free go vernment, but where was the spirit which alone can give it vitality ? Nor could it bo reasonably »opposed they could liavl if. They ha,1 always lived, and been borne down, under a most grinding despotism. Instead of en lightening the masses with political, or, indeed, with any kind of knowledge, it had always been the policy of the Spanish Government to keep them in ignorance, believing it the only way to keep them in colonial vassalage Since Mexico declared her indepen dence, ehe has been ruled by dema gogu -'s, who sought only to aggrandize themselves. Revolution has succeed ed revolution, until she has become a by-word and reproach among the na tions—her commerce and agriculture have made no advance—her highways are filled with robbers, and there is but little security for either property or life. It would probably have been better for Mexico, had Iturbidc been able to consolidate the empire he es tablished. Such a people require, in order to be pro* permis, a strong go vernment sustained \ - fKj niilitaiy of power. Contrast her destiny with that of' Brazil, governed by a constitutional monarch ; the one degraded, and now overrun by foreign armies—the other peaceful, prosperous, happy at home and holding a high rank in the family of nations. .All the South American States, except Brazil, have bôen con stantly rent by anarchy and civil strife, and offer but a sad commentary on the stability and intrinsic value of repub lican forms of government. In this country, they may last and secure the rights and happiness of the people— they will endure until con option lias un dei mined the public virtue, until an en larged patriotism has given place to a universal t'ïirst for power, and then it will be found there arc not many steps to bo taken between republican and imperial forms of government, and there will always be enough of military chieftains to take such steps. A new order of things has begun on our con tinent—and before many years have passed away, eveiy State will modify its forms of government, giving greater strength to the ex.cutive branch, anil narrowing the circle within which the people's powers revolve. So it has been in every age—" power is always stealing from the many to the few." Why Bhmild Americans hope to cscape the operation of a general law by which almost every democratic form of govern ment has been transformed to an oli garchy or to a tyrant. The public morals debased by the arts of ambi tious and corrupt citizens—the people, in order to cscape the evils of anarchy, arc glad to yield up the right of self '* V it government into the hands of military ivet on them the chains dictators whr if political si - Geri. Trudeau. Our Western army correspondent has already made the public acquainted with the zeal, and energy, and ability displayed by Gen. Trudeau, during the period of his service at Columbus and ather points on the river. We are as sured by officers, in whose opinions we repese the utmost confidence, that our correspondent has not, by any means exaggerated Gen. Trudeau's merit, or the vai:K' of his services. Never has a more unwearied devotion, or a more intelligent industry been displayed, than by this sagacious and accomplish ed officer in planning, executing and organising that system of defensive works which have for so many months delayed the progress of the enemy. Every thing that could be suggested by military art or inventive genius has been turned to account by him, if the advance of the enemy along the line of the Mississippi be permanently checked that result will, in a great measure be due to his energy and skill. The stubborn and effective de fense maintained by Island No. 10 is, in itself, a demonstration of his emi nent fitness for the position assigned to him Gens. Beauregard and Folk. During the short period elapsing be tween the evacuation of Columbus and the appearance of the Federal gunboa ts ft! Island No. 10, that post, previous'y almost neglected, had been placed in a Condition of security against any ap prehended naval attack. Within ten days, under Gen. Trudeau's directions, fifty-five guns were mounted in com manding positions, works were thrown -up, and a fenatde system of defenses established. Those who have experi ence in operations of tlrs kind may easily conceive the diffioulties of the task. At present Gen. Trudeau is in virtual command at Island No. 10. The duty of conducting the defense of that important post is assigned to him We can not doubt that he will discharge the duty with scrupulous ability, and that his success will be all that can be expected from human efforts. It is unfortunate that so valuable an office should not he permanently se cured to the service of the Confederacy. Gen Trudeau hap no rank in the Con federate army, and yet for months he ha ; held an extremely important posi tion, involving responsible command. He volunteered his services at. a time when skill and acquirements like his were, as they have continued to be, invaluable to our cause, and has, ever since, labored with indefatigable zeal and devotion to place our fortifications in a condition to resist the immense forcée of the enemy, We are gratified to learn that Gens. Beauregard and Folk and MrCown perceiving the an omaly of this position in Which Gen. Trudeau is placed, and desirous of re taining his services in their Depart ment, have warmly recommended him for a commission in the Confederate army—wether as Major General or Brigadier General, we are hot yet in formed. We cannot doubt that the Government will promptly act on this suggestion, and thus relieve a bravo and meritorious officer from a perplex ing and anomalous situation.— Delta. der From Island No. 10 We have a private letter from Island 10, dated the 25th, from which we make the foliwing extracts.* We and all safe here, so far as the Federals gunboats are concerned They are afraid to cor.'e in reach of our gun. We have already sunk one of their boats; and another wohld sink if she were in deep water, After «he was fired kilo by a ricoc/ut, from Capt. V H inker's battery, they run heron to a bar, and have ken working at her for several|days,'trying to repair her. They may have repaired her, but they are unable to remove her. Four or five of their gunboats and severals trans port boats have been pulling at her, but Avitb no success. They have aban doned her for the present. She is said to be the Benton—-the finest boat in the whole fleet. Caps Racker has completely immor tulized himself. But for his indomita ble courage and energy, the Island would have been taken. His battery still stands ready to give the enemy fight. Later —Tho Grampus has just land ed from the opposite side of the river and brings with her three Missourians —one is thought to be a LlncoUte. They all report the boat which I speak of as being on the bar, as having been shot through from stem to sfcru, kill ing twelve men. They report also that, at the fight at New Madrid, we killed over 1000 men. This evening the principal part of the gunboats and all of the transport boats hare gone out of sight, up tho river. A few mortars and one gun boat are lcmaining with the sunk en boat on the bar. This, however, will not make us loso onr vigilance in keeping a lookout for then. Tho shell« which they throw at us weigh 190 to 200 pounds. One was thrq^vn at Sterling's battery to-day which did not burst. Col. Finnie dug it up and weighed it. The weight was 190 pounds. lie intends to brHig it * Memphis, provided he can and I'l.ico them or> u ' - ' TT"' Union City. We have later and much fuller in telligence in reference to the affair at Union City. It seems that Pickett's Regiment, which was stationed at that place, was completely surprised and put to flight. The pickets having been captured in a church, the enemy advanced with in three hundred yards of the town, planted a battery and opened fire upon the small Confederate forces. The greater part of the regiment, and some of the cavalry escaped, though a large number were taken prisoners. The Humboldt cars, which had been left at Union City, the depot building baggage, and $6000 worth of Govern ment stores, were burnt by the Fed erals. The cavalry fled on foot, leaving many of their horses behind. Latest from Columbia, Tennessee.— The Huntsville Democrat says: A gentlemen residing in Columbia, reached here last evening from that place, and reports the enemy ten to thirty thousand strong across Duck river from Columbia. They were rebuild ing the bridge, wh : ch would occupy two weeks. They bought nails, crow bars, etc, in Columbia, and it is said, offered Confederate notes in payment Which where refused.- Another account Î6, that the Yankee are buying up Confederate notes at a heavy discount with gold, and paying for provendor, etc, with them; but gold is so scarce with the Lincoln Gonvernment we are disposed to doubt their ability to prac tice this ship financiering. Where the Dasger Lies .—A Mem phis paper says;" Let not New Ma drid, Point Pleasant and upper Ar kansas divert our attention from what, unless signs to go for nangh, more nearly interests West Tennessee and North Mississippi. We refer to the Tennessee river, on whose banks the enemy is massing troops for striking at the heart of the Confederacy. Let not the public gaze for a moment be turned frem Savannh and Eastport, Corinth, and the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad. There is where the im mediate danger lies." LATEST NEWS.
