CHARLBFT05, S. C, Sept. 30, 1861, Practical Patriotism of Southern Women. "O womsn, in our hours of ense" tlie restler known the rest: she is a charming bundle of fickle fancies and impracticable whimsies, Tcrj ornamental indeed, s very dear luxury that trill not answer for "hu man nature's daily food." In those hours of flowery dalliance, her noblest uses are latent, her benificent mission is wsiting for the occasion, tho ' angel of eornfort and healing within her is sleeping. But at tho call of distress, amid the trials of ad versity, whether publio or private, all this is changed. , There is then no fortitude like the fortitudo of this delicate creature, no inflexibility of duty and tireless ener gy in doing good like hers. However bright she may be in sunshine, she is nev er brighter than when the sky is darkest. The sun may set in clouds, the stars may be quenched in storm, but only to cause her virtues to shine forth in unquenchable brightness. Romance and poetry have in all timo delighted to bear this testimony: and nowhere was it ever more fully de served and more fully corroborated than in the South since the beginning of our war of independence. The enemy has had no foe io eneouter more formidable than our women. They are our true home guard. They never sleep on their posts. Their patriotic ministrations are univer sal. They fire the hearts of soldiers eve rywhere; they sustain their patienco and ncrvo their resolution with sweet memo ries and sweeter hopes, sacred affections and high aud pure aspirations. They are the heart and religion of our cause. Homely and irksome are the offices which they are enger to perform. 'Their devo tion spurns all conventional distinctions in the path of duty and patriotism. With an instinct wiser than philosophy, they feel the infinite value of small things, the incalculable cfloot of humble uses; and therein are they mightiest and greatest, and thereby da they illustrate the beauti ful significance of that saying: They that are last shall he first. The South is rich in elements of invincibility. But, depend upon it, nothing goes farther to constitute the totality of her invincible power than the practical patriotism and the uncon querable spirit of her women. JV. O.

Therefore, on motion of Capt. Bran son, Captains W. Lowe, G. A. Harrel and H. O. Buckner were appointed a committee (on motioa of Capt. W.

Friday mtrnin?, Oct. 11, 8 o'clock. At the meeting of the officers again this morn ing, at the Col.'s head-quarters, the committee ap pointed on yesterday, submitted the following pre amble and resolutions: WnsREAS.

Rich, Uitpvtch 'Hi wmI. From the Richmond Examiner, Oct. 31. Reported Recognition of South ern uomeaeracy by England. A most extraordinary statement ob tained yesterday in the highest official cir cles of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy by Great Britain. It i cer tain that a dispatch agent arrived here yesterday from England, having landed in the British possessions and essaying to reach the Sooth through Michigan and the nest. liis report is understood to be that he was arrested in Ohio and robbed of hia dispatches, subsequently effecting escape to this eity. The assertion of the agent is that tho dispatches contained as surances ot the tmmediato recognition ol our Government by that of Great Britain. We give this statement, which is made in the most positive manner, without adding any opinion of our own, or professing to ki.ow how the Government has vcrned or credited the report, beyond semi-official expressions of coufidence in its truth, which reached u last night. Capture of Federal Transports. Intelligence was received here last eve ning of the capture, by our force on the l'otomao, of two of the enemy' trans ports, abandoned by the tugs that had theui iu tow, under the guns .of the Ev- anport battery. The cargo of one of the ! veiooil ia said to consist of 8,000 pair of sinit a most valuable and timely acqui Ititiwu, iu view of the need of our army - .; For the Chronicle.

' Oct. 14, 1861. 7 J Dear Editors : As the bright pleasant rays of "Old Sol" have visited us once more, and all is quiet in camp, I have taken a seat beneath an "old pine tree," and avail myself of the present favorable opportunity to write you something con- cering our Regiment, Ac. . About one mile east of this bridge, is encamped the Hth, where it arrived some ten days since, from Camp Edray, a dis tance of five miles. After failing in our many attempts to draw the enemy into an engagement on Cheat Mountain, the Brig ade was then ordered to the Kanawha Val ley, but owing io our Regiment "being, by sick ness, reduced to bo few active men, it w v - temporarily thrown out of ts Brigade Land the 16th (Col. Savage's) substituted. Our boys were very much averse, to going to the Valley, on account of the" 'great dis tance to march and the slim proipect for a a fight after reaching there buty of course, this bad nothing to do with our remaining here, but the fact first stated. The march to Cheat Mountain, through an almost incessant rain, day and night, was a most severe trial to the constitutions of tbe men, and afterwards resulted in the loss of many brave hearts, while a number of others are yet sick all of-wbicb have been sent to tbe Warm and Bath-Alum Springs, where they are carefully provided for. On this trip, our Brigade was assign ed the most difficult route, having to cut our way as we went, around and over mountains where mortal man bad never be fore left a foot-print, and where one would have supposed nothing save the rabbit or deer could possibly have mode any pro gress... Gen. Anderson justly termed us the "Whale-bone Brigade," for I believe none" but Tennessceans could have borne the hardships with so much fortitude. Jackson had an engagement with the enemy last Friday week, which lasted four hours, and resulted in a glorious victory for our side. They made several desperate attempts to "clean out" Jackson and cut us off at Huntersville, and although "liav ing a superior force, theywere completely routed from their fortifications, flyiwg.in wild disorder. They were" afterwards per mitted. 'under a flair of truce, to return and ,i t n -- - bnry their dead, and were seen toi ,nl off eight wagon loads, while ten or fifteen bod ies were left undiscovered on the field, which were seen after the Yanks bad gone. Our loss was small, if, indeed, we lost a ingle man. . For aeveral days past we have been ex pecting to hear of a big fight in the Val ley, as the two armies had been in close proximity for some time, but now learn that as our forces marched forward to make the attack, they fonnd, much to their sur prise, no enemy, for they had retreated at night, alter beating taps "lights out in tbe bearing of onr camp, and to avoid suspicion, left their pickets still there in sight of ours, until the body of the army had gone too far to be overtaken, blockad ing tho road after them. It is with painful melahcholly that I an- nonse the death, on tbe Gth inst, of our gallant Captain, Frank S. Beaumont. n died at tbe Warm Springs, of typhoid fo- ver, after a long and severe illness. The 91 V are deeply sensible of the loss they have sustained in tbe death of their kind, generous and beloved Captain, and bis memory will ever bloom fresh in onr hearta. At an election held, by order of the CoW nel, Lieut J. J. Crusman was unanimous ly elected Captain, nnd 3d Lieut. W. S. Moore elected to tho position of 2d Lieut., and my friend and messmate, Charlie Mitchell, was, without a dissenting voice, eloctcd 3d Lieut. Charlie, following in the wako tf the other gentlemen, made us a neat little speech, assuring tho Company that be would stand by them in all emer gencies. He is a gallant follow will do to "tie to ;" but tbe ladixs need not take our word for it. Owing to a sprain of tbe ankle, which renders him unfit for tbe service, Lieut. F. P. MoWhirter has sent in bis resigna tion, but no action could be taken upon it, a it bas not as jet been officially ac cepted. There were other changes made, but I will not lengthen my communication by mentioning them now. Surgeon J. F. Johnson, owing to ill health, baa also of fered his resignation. A very serious ao- oidenl occurred to a member of our com pany the other day Mr. Geo. A. Couts, while attempting to extract the stopple from a bottle tho knife slippled, penetra ting the ball of the eve. Dr. Pirtle, how ever, thinks the sight is unaffected and Mr C. will soon be all right again. The clo thing which were sent u by our friends and relations in Teunessce, till remain at Millboro.

McCulloch Daockrrottp- F.D. The Camp Jackson correspondent of the New Orleans True Delta thus daguer reotypes Gen. McCulloch : Gen. McCulloch is a medium sized man. perhaps he might be called a small man, with brown hair and whiskers. He doubt less has been handsome, and is still good looking for a man of his ao. A nice boot well fitted to bis foot; close, trim made clothes, and a brown bat, neither high nor low, but of the planter style.with very clean, nice vest, alee.k boots, gloves and spurs, are the characteristics of his dress. His person is very neat and pleas ant, slim, thin, and a small roundness of shoulders. He is as fine a horseman as I ever saw. Age has left Its mark on bis countenance. His face is weather-beaten and brown from exposure ; numerous crow-feet creep omt from bis somewhat sunken eyes. I think be would weigh a- bou 140 pounds, and I would tako him to be fifty years old. judging from his looks ; and he is all that ho has been represented y bold, graceful rider, a dosperate fight er, a reckless charger, a border man and an Indian tighter ot the highest type. Had he lived in the days of chivalry, ho would nave been a knight ot the most su perior class. , . ' More than this, Gen. Ben. McCulloch is a great man. Mentally he is of the san guine billious temperament a perfectly positive man. There is no half way ground 'about him. no medium decision, no compromise, no guessing. It is or it is not with him. It can or it cannot be; and if the world should decide against In in or all the officers in his division, I believe his own conscientiousness would prompt bim to say, a would Jackson, "I'll take the responsibility." . One of the strongest features in his mind is its preoision, its clearness. Indi vidualitv is stronuly T.arked. lie is not a talkative man. and I do not think a very r ociable one. He seems to be sc para to, self existent, independent, original. 1 do not think any one ever knows his Mans and ' thoughts. He is an indefatigable student and thinker, ank never loses any tune whatever. Ol whatever fubjeet his mind is di routed to, he has very exalted ideas. He seems desirous of brinkrin-z his men to the highest point of discipline and rauitary power. He detests stragglers and loafers. He loves ordor and decency. II .1 . .

The New Orleans Crescent says : There has been a good deal of talk about tho Confiscation Bill, a very proper one to -meet the robberies of Lincoln, Seward. Chase & Co. There are many fine stores on Cump, Canal and Poydrass streets, which must come within the meaning and intent of the law.
