K. M. MILITARY SCHOOL.

On the 30th ult., DR.. Reid, NJ. A.. ; a
distinguished teacher Of classics, and who
is in charge of the classical Department of
this Institution, delivered an able and elo'
quent lecture on Logic and Rhetoric, to be
continued on the End inst, and to be fol-
lowed BY Periodical Lectures on Chemistry
and the Physical Sciences. Whilst the
spirited proprietors Of this aourishing and
we'll managed Educational Institute have
sacrificed much for the interests and SER
vice our glorious Confederacy, they are also
careful in keeping up suitable staff Of
most competent Professors. Under the in
creased exertions of Capt. Coward and bis
most competent staff, tie usual studies and
military training Of the cadets are most v;g-
orously carried out.
DR.. Reid's credentials are of the highest
order, and he has had much success in pre-.
pairing students for the South Carolina COL
lege, in the Beaufort District. *

the evening boat, that two war vessels were
off the bar; and an extra guard was de-
tailed, and our soldiers ordered to assemble,
if the drum should beat at any hour of the
night The fire of cannonry and musketry
both, had been heard at Stono Point about
sunset and this gave some coloring to the
-umor. We wrapped up in our blankets
with shoes on, ready to rise in an instant;
but nothing happened to disturb our sleep,
which was doubly sweet after the fatigue
and adventures of the day.
You ask US to keep diary. The camp
is at present too dry. No excitement, and
but few incidents worthy of record, would
be tough reading even for our children,
and children's children. The feeling in
our camp is that Old Abe and his minions
will find work enough to do on the Border; ;
and though entirely watchful, we do not
expect to get into an engagement here
Lincoln's war policy is the greatest split
ting instrument he ever used. twill swell
the number of seeding States to fifteen,
in all probability. His troops will have to
march over a rampant of bayonets from the
Potomac to the Cape Fear, before they can
invade South Carolina by land. They will
require all the navy of the "Old Wreck"
to transport troops and military stores and
munitions, from point to point along the
Border. So We look for no attack here,
either by land or sea, until Lincoln gets

The Two Armies.

There are now about 1000 Confederate
troops under arms in Virginia, distributed
as follows: Richmond, 10000; Harper's
Ferry 10000; Alexandria, 5000; staun-
ton, 1000; Petersburg, 5000; Fredericks-
burg, 5000; and Norfolk, 10000.
These depots are all connected with each
other by railroad. The whole number of
troops volunteered in Virginia is S5, 600.
Of these, about 10000 are now organized,
and the military council is rapidly organ
iziug the balance, and will have them in
the field in the course of week.
There are in and around Washington
something like $4,000 men-at least ar
raugements have been provided for that
many, and the correspondent of the N. Y.
Times says that this is all that will be allowed
at that station at one time. There are few
thousand federal troops at other stations,
and on their way to various points. 1t can
not be expected that two such large armies
can long remain idle, or without collision.
If the soil of Virginia is invaded, as the
latest Richmond papers intimate, we may
lo,k for collision at any moment.-Co'

The Home Journal Succumbs.

This literary paper has succumbed to the
outside pressure of the New York rabble,
and now deserves to be universally repulsed
at the South. The Edgefeld advertiser
was recently taken to task for insinuatiDg
that there was the least indication of lack
of independence in that quarter; and, fear
ing our surmise ightb be unjust, We prompt
~ made the amende honorable. But we
find in the last number of the Journal a
paragraph which is not only a pandering to
the North but an insult to the South. If
the editors could be supposed to know what
they are talking about, weshould pronounce
their assertions (Which We italicise) sheer
mendacity. As it is, the inquiry forces it.
self upon US, what could have super-iuduced
the amazing stupidity that dictated such
statement? Here it is:
"The young lady who sends US the a.
greeable letter from which the following
extracts are taken, is under very natural
illusion as to who would be the majority Of
her "patients," should she oficiate as
"Florence Nightingale" to the opposing
army. To her glowing imagination that
army is composed entirely Of such "South-
erners" as she has danced with in New
York, or passed the season with at Newport
and Saratoga. But very different classes
are the "clay.eaters" and "alliyutors," the
"crachers" and other "white trash," Gas
they themselves call them, who form the
main bulls and body Of the common SOL
diery. Her former friends ore but the few
officers and leading men, who have had the
training and means of gentlemen and to
such, as prisoner or wounded enemy, it
will be pleasure to minister kindness and
mercy. But the lower grades are scarcely
hunsan-so much more degraded than any
class with which any lady is likely to have
come in contact, that the nursing of them
would be indeed duty misplaced"
Women of the South whose husbands,
brothers, fathers, sons, and cousins, are to
be found throughout the ranks here vili6ed!
will you tolerate paper in your parlors
that thus wantonly attempts to traduce our
Southern soldiery? Gen. Morris and Col
Willis may sneer as they list; it is neverthe-
less true that there are thousands of our
soldiers who are their equals in manhood,
honor, patriotism, piety, generosity, valor
in every thing indeed, unless it be their
long .practised crafts of gossipry and song
making. ng.-Eayetiela advertiser.

should plant no cotton for year, she would
get as much for the cotton crop she held
over, as she would have got for two regular
CROP. If in that lapsed year of cotton, she
devoted her whole labor to the raising Of
grain, she would have quantities which
would supply all the markets Of the world,
and close them against the North. If the
blockade could be enforced, and her cotton
could be confined to the South, no ultimate
disaster would befall our section; while q
ruinous competition in provision stuffs would
be built up against the North. In no man.
ner can the South be disastrously affected
by this war; in every manner will the
North be.
