kr~ Volunteers must bear in mind that the Confederate Government does not furnish clo- thing when they first enter the service, but communications therefor in money. Eevery vol ought, thefore, when mustered in, for his own comfort and health, to be sufficiently provided with articles of uniform and dress, to meet his immediate wants, and for the probable neces- sities fat least three months.
 1t is therefore recommended that each vol- unteer will, as far as practicable, present him. self at the rendezvous, where he is to be mus tered into the service of the Confederacy, pro- vided with the following articles of uniform and dress, viz:
 Coat or jacket, as may be the uniform. Pairs of Trousers.
 l Forage or Fatigue cap.

THE DISASTERS OF WAR.-That able and faithful friend of the South, the New York Daily News, thus depicts the condition of af- fairs in the North
 Now that the separation has come, with a war party installed in power, what do we be- hold? Ruin and bankruptcy are staring al- most every business man at the north, in the face. Rents are tumbing down, stocks and mortgages are rapidly depreciating, banks are tottering to their fall, and it is with the ut most difficulty that men of moderate means are enabled to obtain the necessaries of life for their families, while the laboring classes are compelled to accept starvation, or the dis nal alternative of enlisting in the great army raised for the subjugation of the South and the emancipation of the slave.

 GENERAL :-I have the honor to inform you, that in obedience with your order, started at Il o'clock A. HI., to-day, with companies of Col. Churchill's Regiment of Arkansas Mounted Rifemen, and Capt. Carroli's Com pany of Arkansas State troops, to make an at tack on some Federal troops, at Neosho, Mo-, in conjunction with Col. Churchill, command ing six companies of his regiment. We start ed on different roads, which entered the town, one from the west and the other from the south, with an arrangement to make the march of l6 miles in four hours, and upon entering the town to make a simultaneous attack. l found that the distance was not so much as stated. It would, therefore, be necessary for me to have waited near the town an hour; and fearing that information would be carried into town, to the enemy, dismounted the 4 com panies of Churchill's Regiment, about quar- ter of mile of the town, and marched them by platoons at double quick time, within two hundred yards of the Court House, where we found co mpany 80 strong. sent Capt. Car roll, with his company, to make detour, to take them in the rear. After hating my com mand, sent Dr. Armstrong, (Volunteer Aid de-camp) to demand surrender of the forces. allowed them ten minutes to decide; at the end of the time, the Captain in command made an unconditional surrender of the Con- pany, laying down their arms and side arms. We took 100 rifles, with sabre bayonets, quantity of ammunition, and train of seven wagons loaded with provisions. Col Churchill came up in good time with his command, and made an imposing sight with his mounted rifemen. The officers and men did everything in their power to make the movements prompt as possible, and they marched up to within short distance of force whose numbers were unknown, with a step as regular and front as unbroken as body of veterans.

 GEN. PATTERsoN.-As this gentleman oc- cupies rather prominent position just now in the federal army, the annexed extract from an article in the Wilmington CIV. CD Journal is interesting:
 This rival of Napoleon is considerable on dress parade, but his health is so seriously af- fected at the approach of battle that he has always found himself unable to participate in such amusements. It must be said of him, however. that he has a keen eye to the com
 missariat. He is good business man, and made much money in Mexico, as follows :-
 During the Mexican war Gen. Patterson was for good while placed in command of the department of the Rio Grande. A great many
 improper persons from the states were snug gling things into that department, selling them to the troops, and probably also to the Mexi- cans. The General most virtuously prohibited
 all this---he would have nothing of that kind going on, so he issued an order prohibiting any traders bringing any more goods in. The point of the joke was that the house of which the General was partner had already got ill all the goods they wanted, and, by the order prohibiting any more coming in, of course
 Patterson's house had monopoly, charged their own prices, and made several hundred thousand dollars; some put the profit by this
 rather queer transaction at half million.

l ORIGINAL MAKER or THE BowIE KNIFE.,- l Captain Rees Fitzpatrick, gunsmith, of Nat l chez, is the manufacturer of the first Bowl e
 knife eyer made. He was then resident in | Louisiana, and made the knife from a pat tern furnished him by Col. James Bowie, the inventor, whose nalne this formidable weap-
 on will always bear.
 The millions of knives bearing this name,
 made in Sheffield and Birmingham, England, have no affinity to the real Bowie knife, as made by the original manufacturer, Fitzpat- rick. He makes his knife Of elastic tempered steel, and the knives have the spring and re-
 bound of a Damascus blade-whie the En- glish knives are made so hard for the pur- pose of giving them the highest possible pol ish, that they have no elasticity, and, in cut ting, will break out huge gaps in the edge as easily as pot metal.
 Last week MT. Fitzpatrick made power ful knife for Dr. L. P. Blackburn, precisely after the original pattern of Col. Bowie, the inventor. The blade weighed only one pound; it was elastic enough to quiver at the touch, and bore an unsurpassed edge, keen as the Iightning's flash. Dr. Blackburn intends to exhibit the knife to the armorers of Louis- vile, as a pattern, and will induce them to initiate its temper and perfection for State defence.
 MT. Fitzpatick is the first weapon artist who placed the Bowie knife upon the rife as bayonet, after the pattern of Gen. Felix Houston, kindred spirit of the brave broth- CTS; Bowie. He also made that gem of a sword presented by the city of Natchez to Gen. Quitman, after his return from his Mex ican triumphs and is now engaged on the order of Gov. Pettus in making the sword of honor decreed to Col. Earl Van Dorn, by the Legislature of Mississippi. This is to be fac simiIe of the Quitman sword.-[ Natchez Miss.) Free Trader.

n Hon. L. ?. Walker, secretary of war has published notice in the Richmond En- quirer, requesting newspaper correspondents to be careful in avoiding all aIlusions to army movements which might be useful to the ene- my, and consequently, prejudicial to our cause. He says:
 It must be obvious that statements of strength or of weakness at any of the points in the vii cinity of the enemey, when reproduced in the north, as they would be in spite of all the viz iance in our power, would warn them of dan- ger to themselves, or invite an attack upon us; and, in like manner, any statements of the mag nltude of batteries, of the quantity and quality of arms or of ammunition, or movements in progress or in supposed contemplation, of the condition of troops, of the commissariat, &c., might be fraught with essential injury to the service.

The Attempt to Subjugate the South.

The Lincoln organs, great and small, all over the North, and in our own State, Ken lucky, says the Louisville Courier are con- tinually crying out that the people of the South are divided, distracted, and ; only want the presence of bayonets, and mercenary soldiers to make them leap back with joy to the old Union The fact of united South and sep
 aration from the North is never admitted to their readers. The powerful letter of Bishop Otey, of Tennessee, has never been published in their columns We cannot forbear repub- fishing the following extract for the consider ation of unconditional Union men:
 Sir, have been in this State forty years.- The Indian boundary line, when I came to Tennessees was two hundred miles east of this place. It is now twice that distance west--it is now know not where, Ihave travelled of tener than can count years of fny life, all over these southwestern States, from Fort Towson to Tallahasse-from Virginia to Texas, and min- gled freely with the people, under all the ordi- nary circumstances ofsocial intercourse. Ihave

 mately, and think, understand theircharac- ter thoroughly. I tell you, in all the sober ness of truth, that wherever the invader shall attempt to pass the borders of these States with hostile intent, he will be met with a 1 living wall of men, with brave hearts and hands armed for the strife of death, more difficult to pass than breastworks drowning

 But the Constitution cannot be maintained nor the Union preserved in opposition to pub- lie feeling, by the mere exertion of the coer- cive powers confined to the General Govern ment.
