EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Ckktmtillk, Faiiiux, Va., )
Saturday Morning, November 30,1881. )
Dear Enquirer: Thursday was a day
long to be remembered by the 2d Division
of the First Corps, Army of the Potomac,
commanded by Geo. Loogstreet. The batle-flag,
designed by Beauregard, and "made
by the mothers, sisters and wives" of the
soldiers?the flag whioh is to lead them to
victory of death?was on that day presented
by Beauregard himself to the various
Colonels of the Division. Gen's Johnson
and Van Dora with their staffs were present,
to witness the scene and graoe the occasion.
The Division was drawn up by
Gen. I/ongstreet on the open field in rear
of tb' works, forming three sides of a hollow
square, the other fourth side being left
open for officers and spectators. The First
Virginia band played "Let me kiss him for
his mother," an exceedingly beautiful
piece, in their best style. Major Jordan
read a chaste order for presentation, ur,
Harrold, the eloquent Chaplain of the First
Virginia Regiment, consecrated the flag to
the cause of freedom, in a brief but most
appropriate and touching prayer; beseeching
God to bless it, and hallow all- the resources
and power of the South to the achievement
of her independence. The band
then struck off with the stirring strains of
the "Marseillaise Hymn while the Colonels
present, ten in number, advanced and
formed a line around the colors and their
general, when Beauregard said in substance
:
"Gentlemen: I entrust to your care these
battle-flags. They must never be surren
dered. Under them you must march, either
to victory or death."
Upon this he placed a banner in the
hands of each Colonel, one after another,
all of whom replied briefly Our Colonel,
as well as we could gather, said :
"As Colonel of the 5th S. C Regiment,
I accept- this as our battle-flag. Our native
oil is now impressed with the footsteps of
the fell invader; his beacon fires are lighted
upon our headlands. To us a battleflag
can only be one nnder whioh we must
conquer or die. As such I accept this."
During this part of the programme, Gen.
Beauregard made one of those beautiful
and brilliant retorts, which will do to tell
long after be returns to his mother dust.?
When the time came for the witty Colonel i
Withers to receive his standard, a pale pink j
?i?J u:? u. ?oa i,;0 j
CUiUICU ua^ 1CII kV u in iVfc. a. ?/ u^v ui(?unw j
phrase, he "was cocked ana primed" to;
make a speech, and allude to the "bloody j
bartle field"?expecting to receive deep red i
color*. Of course he threw aside bis :nal j
appropos upeeoh, aud very naturally iu bisj
droll way, remarked upon the paleness of'}
his ensign, when Beauregard retorted, "Die \
it, sir, in the blood of the enemy"; and;
what appeared to disappoint the Colonel, j
was changed at once by the address of the i
General, to his delight. It is thns that
true greatness, upon the most trivial occasions,
wins to itself affection and admiration
This was the first time that wo had seeD,;
side by side, the two great leaders of thei
army of the Potomac, Beauregerd and'
Johnson. We were struck with the markedaimilarity
between the profiles of their faces,
as seeu at a short distance ; both protruding
very far forward from the eyes downward
to the chin. Johnson has a large aud massive
head. The forehead rises almost perpendicularly
from the bro.v, and is very
high ; while the side of his head above the
temples and the whole crown seem to be
developed to an extraordinary degree.?
Beauregard's forehead is slightly receding;
hiB head is Dot so broad above the temples,
mod bis face is rounder than that of Joba-|
son. Both, we judge, are bravo and determined
alike ; and one is greater tbao the
other in points which make them mutual
aids to eacbotber as commanders of an
army. Their eyes?Johnson's large and
full, set in a multitude of long, deep wrinkles,
and darting a keen, fierce flame;
Beauregard's, pale in hue, but rolling in
the rich, liquid light of genius?mark the
prtriotsouls, burning or beaming within;
and tell of those who were born to breathe
the air of liberty.
Gen. Longstreet on his dashing bay
borse, in his nodding feather and flowing!
auburn beard, is one of those fine-looking,
open-faced, chivalrous men who involuntarily
inspire one with confidence in their
courage, candorand magnanimity. His old
brigade are enthusiastically attached to him;
and we all "fell in love with him at first
?ght." |
Our Generals appear to be confident in|
the r expectations of a battle soon; but
our own opinion remuins unchanged. We
regard the campaign as closed, except there
may be one more fight down about Occo\
?*
iquan. coaple of ladies came into Cen"reville
yesterday evening; having escaped
from Alexandria in a pedlar's wagon ?
They report that they overheard a conversation
between two Yankee officers to the
effect that the enemy were removing their
heavy guns from Shnter'e Hill and around
Alexandria, down the river, with the view
to attacking our batteries near Evansport.
This week several rumors, turning out to
be premature, have reaohed us that the enemy
were advancing in that direction.?
Several regiments from Western Virginia,
and a few from Manassas, have gone thitherward,
in anticipation of the fight. Without
particularizing, we have a force there
now, sufficient to keep any number of infantry
they can send in check; we, howev"-"-non
fViot it trill he ohieflv. if a fight
| Ul, OU|/pVOV VUMV mm ?? ?- ?? rf| u
j at all, an "artillery fight."
The march to Leesburg and back, which
I we regret we were not able to record, has
produced some siokness in our regiment,
and one or two lamentable deaths. Among
all the deaths which have occurred in our
midst, we know of none more melancholy
than that of Orderly Sergt. R. E. L. Ewart,
of the Spartan Rifles, who died on the 21st
instant, at Warren Springs. Our intercourse
with bim was somewhat intimate,
inasmuch as our duties brought us together
daily; and he endeared himself to us by
the uniform display of the qualities which
make the soldier and gentleman. We have
more than once heard it said that be was
the best Orderly in the army. Intelligent,
upright and straight forward in conduct,
manly in bearing, and remarkably prompt
and energetic in the discharge of business,
he could not only have filled but adorned
muoh higher stations. Peace be to his
ashes, and honored be his memory.
As the cold weather advances, our boys
are adopting various expedients to render
themselves comfortable in their quarters.
Many have run flues through their tents,
and crowning the chimney end with a flour
barrel. They draw well?smoke sometimes?but
in the main are pleasant.?
Others have a veritable chimney to their's,
with a snug and cozy fire place inside.? i
These are our favorites; for while they
throw out the heat well, and smoke none at
all necessarily, tbey are quite a cheerful
reminder of home.
The "Jaspers" are likely to be detailed
permanently as a portion of the Provostguard
at Centreviile. The situation is an
agreeable one; and will be more so, when
we erect Winter-quarters here. We will
be on duty only every fourth day and night.
The Hessians who arc picked up on the
picket lines, are brought to our guard-house,
and we have the fuu of hearing them spout
occasionally. By the way, we were about
to forget to tell you that Col. Ransom's
boys of the North Carolina cavalry regiment,
had a skirmish with some Northern cavalry
a few days ago near Vienna, and bagged
2S of them and 18 horses. One hundred !
and twenty on our side, and 180 on their's,
were in the engagement. The Yankees
lost three, one a lieutenant; we Done.
We hear with much regret, that Willie;
Farley .Esq., of Laurens, whose merits as aj
scout we have meutioaed before, has been
made a prisoner, together with another of
his "mystic band of comrades." They
killed four, before they were taken. This
is mere rumor, however.
The question of converting the twelve'
months volunteers into war-troops is engn I
ging the attention of our leaders; but no;
conclusion has been arrived at, and ofj
course no actiou taken.

Congress and the Planters.?It is
understood that the sense of Congress has
been determined, on a test question made
in secret session, to be in opposition to any
legislation for the relief of the planters.?
There is nothing, however, to prevent the
planting interest from having recourse to
the State Legislatures. The States of
Georgia and Alabama, as we learn, have
already taken into consideration the subject
of relieving the necessities of the planters, j
as a matter of State and domestic concern.
|Richmond Examiner. 1
From the Colombia Guardian.
Gamp Notes.
The advance in our forces made in Brig.
Gen. Drayton's occupation of Bluffton has
been followed up by an advance of the several
bodies near Hardeeville, including Col.
DeSaussure's Regiment, the 15th S. C. V.
Their post office, however, is still Hardeeville.
Volunteer corps from the eastern
districts, within the last few days, have
passed through Coosawhatohie to take po
sition near Bluffton. The withdrawal of
our enemies from Tybee and other points
near Savannah, and their suspension of reoonnoisances
towards this point, are thought
by some to indicate a change in Sherman's
immediate policy. This may be so. It is
not impossible, however, that these movements
look to a decisive blow somewhere
soon, and I, for one, would as soon expect
that blow to fall upon these very points.?
It is not an unusual piece of strategy. The
mintions Troian's remonstrance is worthy of J
remembrance:
" Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes
Which means (we translate for the unolas-j
sical reader) "the Yankees are more dangerous
under a white flag than a black one!"
But, nous verrons.
The prevailing impression in camp is,
that Col. R G. M. Dunovant is soon to
be promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.
The toroh is still doing its noble work
upon our island farms. Soon a desolate
plain will stretch before the eyes of our invaders.
The torch before them and the
black banner when' they land, are beooming
the watchwords of our people. Every desolated
homestead is a tower of strength to
our sacred cause. I).
Coosawhatchie, December 3, 1861
Startling Development.?From the
New Orleans Crescent, of the 22d ultimo,
we take the following:
Yesterday morning, Lieut. Morel, of the
Third District Police, upon jnformation received,
arrested a German named Frenzel,
who lives on Charles Street, in the Second
District, charging him with being an incendiary
and traitor to the State and Southern
Confederacy. It appears that Frenzel, who
is quite an intelligent man, bad excitedLieut.
Morel's suspicions some time since
by remarks that he was reported to have
made in favor of Lincoln and his dynasty;
he was watched, the result of which was
that he was heard to boast that there was
a powerful organization in this city?at
least 5,000 strong?which, the moment
1 '1 ** * ? ? - j " ? .* MMhAAnan/ia
mat toe JjIUCOILI uruijr UJBUC no apj;gomuuu
here, oroa our coast, would rise and help
them to the best of their ability.
He further is reported to have said that
his society would help cut all the rebels'
throats, and that as do one knew, or suspected
its existence, it was all the more
powerful.
Tybf.e Entirely Evacuated.?The
steamer Ida, which arrived yesterday afternoon
from Fort Pulaski, reports everything
below profoundly quiet. A scouting party
visited Tybee Monday night, and made a
thorough exploration of the island, and to
their surprise, not a Yankee could be found.
They advanced to the Martello tower and
the light house, but found all deserted and
still as the grave.
It is difficult to comprehend the movements
of the enemy, except oo the hypothesis
that they got an inkliug, from some
quarter, of what was progressing od the
main, and ignominiously fled from the wrath
to come. They were wise, and we advise
them to keep, hereafter, off Georgia soil.
In view of this precipitate retreat, we
apprehend the North will suffer a sudden
abatement iu its jollification over the seizure
of Tybee, an unresisted movement,
which has been maguified into a triumph.
Savannah Republican.
Diabolical Plot.
The train that left Savannah on the night
of the 2d at 9 50, was thrown off the track
near the 57 mile post, except the two hindmost
passenger cars. The accident was
caused by the iron rail having been prized
up and a piece of scantling inserted under
it, raising the eud some six inches above i
the adjoining rail. The engine passed overj
clear except one wheel of the tender; no|
injury to the engine. The eipress, three!
baggage and one passenger oar were thrown j
off the track and badly broken.
From tracks and other evidence it was1
apparent there were three persous engaged
io this hellish work, one, from the track a
white mau, the others negroes, or they had
on negro shoes. They parried the scantling
about three quartera of a mile from an
old house Fortunately no one wag injured
beyond a few bruises to the express messenger
and one or two others; no passengers
hurt.
When it became light and the tracks were
discovered, Mr. Btubbu and his dogs were
sent for, and when the train left there at
10 o'clock he was in full chase after the
vidians, with strong hopes of catching
them.
The superintendent has offered a reward
of 8500 for the arrest and proof to oouvict
the vidians.?Savannah Republican.

Confederate Coast Operations in
South Florida.?A Tampa Bay cones- ?
pondeot of the Tallahassee Floridian, gives 1
the following statement of operations of i
which brief notice has been heretofore t
made: <
! Major W. L. L. Bowen, commanding at c
Tampa, some weeks ago determined to s
break up the nefarious trade and communi- i
j cation that has been going on ever since <
the war begun, between our Southern coast t
!and the United States authorities at Key ?
West. To this end he chartered the little t
' steamer Scottish Chief \ and went in search t
(of the fishing tribe. Armed with a six ;
pounder he soon secured a fine fishing
smack and brought her into Tampa Bay;
but without going up to town he transfered 1
his armament from the steamer to the (
smack and went out again, and without 1
indulging in a lengthy story, he has cap- J
tared twelve sail, oioe smacks, and three 1
schooners, and effectually broken up the <
infamous traffic, and put a stop to the easy I
and effective means by which the enemy (
kept themselves posted touching our affairs 1
upon the ooast.
The crews of the several vessels captured 1
arrived at headquarters on Sunday night 1
and have been duly transfered to the prop- :
erauthorities for final disposition. .1
They number sixty eight, and are a mixed
multitude, some Yankees, some Spaniards,
some Portugese, and some Key Westers.
Gen. Jeff. Thompson?Capture of the
Platte Valley.
The capture of the Platte Valtey by Gen.
Jeff. Thompson has already been briefly
referred to. The following are the particulars
of the affair, which we copy from the
Charleston (.Mo.,) Courier of the 22nd
ultimo:
On Monday last Brig. Gen. Jeff. Thompson,
with a part of his army and a battery
of artillery, went from New Madrid to
Prioe's Landing for some purpose, said by
the St. Louis Democrat, to be the capture
of the Marie Denning, supposed to be
.coming down loaded with guns and ammunition
for the new gunboats, and also to
?.? flp'ont ond ?. Paymaster.
uapiuic ucuciai uiuu? ? ? / ^
who were to go up on the Platte. Valley to
Cape Girardeau.
Well, it seems the Marie did not come, j
but the Platte Valley did, and Gen. Thompson
had her rounded to in irregular style,
under fire from his cannon. Upon board- i
ing her, however, Gen. Grant and tin Pay- 1
master, with the money for the Cape troops, i
could not be found. Rumor says they <
were hid, but the writer says they were not, I
for they were at Cairo ; however, it was all i
the same, as they were von comeatibus est I
boatibus. i
Gen. Thompson arraigned Captain Pos
tal and the other boat officers before the
bar, where, after a long time, as most of
the meu, as well as the general, were old 1
practitioners, they, together with a number 1
of United States officers on board, were 1
sworn to support the Government of Jeff I
Davis, and not to take up arms against (
Dixie, or give aid and comfort to its ene- (
ones, and were then all discharged, Capt.
Postal and his boat going on their way re
juicing, minus a half barrel of brandy, ,
which they presented to Gen. Thompson,
hid armn and f.hft half harfel.

for the night, and the next day returned to

i Another Viotobv in Missouri.?In j
I the Little Rock. (Ark.,) True Democrat, ,
of the 28th , we find the following impor- ,
; tant intelligence, which is the latest that (
icould be received here from South-western
! Missouri, and which seems to be perfectly
reliable; . 1
We learn from Mr. S B Bennett, who <
! reached this place yestesday evening, bring- i
jing despatches from Major G. W. Clarke <
; to the Government at Richmond, that a i
battle has been fought in South-west Missouri,
near the Kansas line, by General
Rains, with the Federalists, io which Gen.
| Raius aohieved a signal viotory. Ho routed
the Federalists completely, killing and
wounding abont 200, capturing about 200
prisoners, 40 wagons loaded with provisions j'
;and ammunition; and a large number ofl
arms. : i
Mr. Bennett also iaforrns us that Gene- (
ral S. H. Montgomery, long a resideut of (
Fort Smith, and brother to Capt. A. Mont- ,
gornery, who had charge of the fort there
I when taken by the State, was among the
prisoners captured. He Wfts quartermaster i
I in the Federal army. I
j Gen. Siegel, Mr. Bennett informs us, i
was in full retreat towards Ironton or Pocahontas,
with about 15,000 men, and Gen
| Price was in hot pursuit, with every confi- '
jdeoce of beiDg able to overtake and whip
j him.

pers says : "
By the arrival of the steamer City of (
Washington, we have information of how /
the late correspondence between Secretary Seward
and Lord Lyons, relative to the arrest
of British subjects in thii country was b
received. It made a very unfavorable im- _
pression. All the leading London papers
assail Mr. Seward and our Government
with great bitterness. It is reasonable to j
conclude that the arrest of Slidell and Ma- s
son from a British steamer will not improve n
the temper of these journals or of the ?

Mr. Dixon writes that they are now making
fifteen tons per week, and will be able to
make more than doable that quantity, and
improve the quality, in a few weeks after
getting in their "hot blast."
The Confederate Tariff.?It is understood
that a number of memorials have
been addressed to Congress, in secret session,
urging the suspension of the Tariff
Aot and the remission of duties on imports
from foreign countries daring the war.?
This, it is supposed, will encourage large
shipments of merchandize, as it is suggested
that all merchandize can be packed in water-tight
packages, thrown overboard from
vessels, and landed at almost any point on
the three thousand miles of sea-coast of the
Southern Confederacy.

>tudy of medicine, under the direction and supervision of
he celebrated Dr. Harris, of North Carolina. Admitted to
he practice of medicine, he located in Yorkville, and from
lis skill and success as a physician, soon gained the confilence
end patronage of the people. In a few years the field
if his professional labors extended front the Catawba on
he east, to Rroad River on the west of Yorkville, with a
vide latitudinal range North and South. AfleV the lapse
if many long years of successful practice, the hand of age
legan to admonish him, that the time had come, when he
ilinuld retire front the sphere of those duties, to which he
ad devoted the best energies of his fife. Yielding to so I
ust an impression, he gradually withdrew from the tolls I
ind anxieties of his profession, and during the eight or ten 1
ears last preceding nw aeam, enjuycu w u.ui.(muy ...
etirement In the bosom of his family and friends, surrounled
with an affluence awarded him of Providence, as the
ruits of liis well directed energy and perseverance. His
'sample remains as a stimulant to encourngo the hopes of .
iie temperate, industrious, and enterprising youth of the i
ountry. Of an ardent temperament, his atTectionate atachment
to kindred, friends, and country, was deep nnd
incoihpromlslnfl. .Schooled in the principles of a sublime
.iid ertnobiing morality, he scorned to dishonor the escutclibn
of his character, l)y lending f<iit th6 sipicliqn of a smile
o the seductions of vice. The disciple 6f a still higher
cliool, he received his last and best lessons in moralsand
'irtue, at the feet of that Master, in whose presence Plato
iml Seneca are less than babes in the soior.ee of uionil exlellenee.
For almost nineteen years prcceeding his death,
le iiad ns a professed christian, walked In cheerful subjecion
to the laws of the Savior, and as a member of the Jnlepemient
Presbyterian Church, home a rational testimony
n tlie power of the grace of the gospel to illuminate the
ulnd, purify the heart, and regulate the life. During the
ast painful weeks of his Illness, he gave repeated evidence
if the alleviating and sustninining power of religion, in
cresting and holding in check the spontaneous murmuring*
if nature in pain, and in subduing the spirit of the suiferer
o the posture of filial submission to the will of God. Condim*
tlj&t the hand of death was upon liim, he said the
rials had oofiic, then with a prayer for stronger faith in
lie Savior of his soul, composedly tesigned himself to God,
ml in a few moments bade ail earthly things all everlasting
ire well. L.
