Interesting Relic.-We have rceiv- SJ
ed from Prof. P. J. Carolau, Private Janus
about
Seeretary of G en. Wigfall, an ancient one
reic, founa in the old town of Dum- ears,
fries, Va., the present head-quarters andu
of the Texas Brigade. It consists j21*
of portions of a ledger and blotter of -
a flourishing trading house in Dum
fries during the year 1761-one hun
dred years ago. The ledger containsth
the acceunt of Col. Henry Lee,. the nes
tfmous Light Horse Harry of.Revolu- iam
tionary times. Many of the entries j2141
sre strange and curious, as indica- -
tions of the social habits of our fore- F
fathers. We design transferring some of thi
,f the most, singular of these to our apli
columns at a future time. [Jefferson a b

Information Wanted.--On the-22d Add
November lhst an old gentleman, Mr.
Eleazer Mlyers, left Charleston for
New Orleans, by the w.y of Augusta. 1
iHe was last heard of in the city of
Augusta. Any information of him
will afford great relief to a distressed 3
daughter.
Mr. Myers was a native of'Charles
ton, S. C. about Go years of age, 5
feet 7 inches high, thin and spare
made, somewhat wrinkled in the face,
curly gray hair.
Exchanges noticing this will assist
ip an act of humanity. na

M1ovements of Gen. Price.-A, let,
ter from Itolla, dated the 7th inst., to
tihe St. Louis Republican, announces
that a messenger had just arrived rr
from the Federal Col. Carr, who was
sent out on the 4th, on a reconnoiter
ing expedition towards Springfield.
The messenger brought information
that Gen. Price, having been rein
forced by 3000 troops and ten cannon
from Arkansas under Gen. McIntosh,
intended to make another stand at
Springfield.
Gen. Albert Pike, the able and
fatithful Commissioner of Indian Af- .
tfirs and Relations, who lately visit- C
ed this city on business, has achieved T
great success. Through his efiorts J
and reports a Confederate appropria- d
tion has been made for tie support of ft
Catholic scools among the the In- :a
dians-schools which have flourishld ai
for some years, but never received aid
trom the United States.-Ch!rleston
Courier.
From the Coast.-Says the Savan
uah Republican of the 17th:
Matters on the coast remain pretty
much as they were a, week ago. On
Tvbee the Yankees keep out of both
range and sight, but are understood
to be strengthening their batteries i
which command the entrance to om ;
harbor. If any works are preparing
for operations on Pulaski, they have
not been discovered.
Quite a fleet-it is said ten vtssels (
-came in at Warsaw Wednesday
evening, probably for shelter against
the rough weather at sea. Yesterday
all except three disappeared and went
to sea.
The utmost activity prevails along
our coast, old batteries being strength
eoed and new ones erecting. If the ,
Yankees should succeed in reaching
the Georgia main, they will do it
with ranks foarfully thinned, and find
f their troublcslust begun.

t oftirs it to the craft as the cheapest
S in the market. Instead of a solid
cast-iron cylinder, it is made of-sheet
