Mr.. Thomas S. Neely said, that in plant
ing red land, he subsoils every year, in
January or February, using two horse sub

possible; and follows the sub-soil with a
one horse Golfer. He beds in march, about
four and half feet wide, aud distance OF
four feet in planting. Lays of his rows with
long CASHIER, believing that it will stand
the drought better when thus laid off. He
beds with twister, the bedding to be as
close furrowed as possible; never less than
eight or nine furrows in bed. And this
not to be long before planting, as otherwise
grass or weeds are likely to spring up

Scenes after the Fight.

The Alexandra correspondent of the
Baltimore Exchange gives the following in
regard to the scenes after the fight:
The scenes I witnessed in Alexandria,
the day after the battle, will never pass
from my mind. Foot-sore, blood. stained,
weary, and exhausted from exposure and
want of food, returned the fragments Of
regiments. In many instances they had
thrown away knapsacks, muskets, coats,
and even shoes; they came back cursing
the day, and also the men who had led
them into such trap. It was then that
the chivalric spirit of the South shone forth
in the deeds of her children. As an inva'
ding foe, shouting the war-cry Of "On to
Richmond" they had shrunk from them
in disgust. At their hands the wives and
sisters of the Southern soldiers had receiv-
ed the most gratuitous insults; but when
they returned fallen and crushed, going to
and fro bewildered herd, seeking vaiuly
for their officers and comrades, these South.
erners, whom they had injured, provided
food for them, tenderly cared for their
wounded, and, in deep pity for their
wretched state, seemed to forget that they
had been their enemies. I should never
have surmised that such a victory had been
gained or that the men thus tenderly cared
for were the same who had invaded their
soil, or taken up arms against them. 1t is
a noted fact that the only houses closed a.
gainst them were the homes of prominent
Union men, and the only hands not stretch
ed forth to aid them were those which in

Parker & Allen and D. c. Woods went
down to Alexandra on Wednesday morn
ing, and took with them six howitzers
and three 9-inch shell guns, for the purpose
of establishing a naval battery near Fort
Ellsworth. The work is under the com.
maud of Lieut.. Parker, with $50 sailors and
80 marines.
GEN. PATrERsoN.-Among Gen. Pat
terson's excuses for his terrible blunder is
the allegation that he was grievously en-
barrassed by the contract for the supply of
wagons for his army; as that contract forced
him not only to get none that did not come
from Pennsylvania, but also none that come
from any but single Pennsylvania manu-
factory, that turned them out so slowly as
to delay the movement of his army for
weeks.

THE "PALMER GUARDS"

A company numbering near one hundred
men, was organized in this place on yester-
day, for Confederate service, with the fol.
lowing persons as commissioned officers
W. Fl. McCORKLE, Captain.
L. NJ. GRIST, 1st Lieutenant.
JNO. T. PARKER, End Lieutenant.
l. D. WITHERsPOON, 3rd Lieutenant.
The Company has been named the "Palm-
er Guards" in honor to our young friend
Lieut.. Richard A. Palmer, who was killed
at the late battle of 'sStone Bridge while
leading his men to the charge.
The "Campbell Rifles under the CON-
mand of Capt. Jno. l.. Miller, Of this place,
are fully organized, and we learn will de-
part for camp in few days. We will pub
lish full roll of both companies in our
next issue.
In another column will be found the roll
of the "Indian Land Guards" Capt. Jones.
There are yet other companies being formed
in the District.

Keep Back the Cotton.

We have already noticed the card sigu-
ed by all the cotton factors of the great
Crescent City, urging the planters to keep
back their cotton, and by all means to pre-.
vent its accumulation at the seaports. The
factors of Mobile have unanimously come
out in similar recommendation. Is it not
time for the factors of Charleston to do
likewise?
A writer in the Augusta Constitutional
list, in alluding to this subject, justly re-
Amarks:
"No greater inducement can be offered
to the Lincoln Government for an attack
upon any city or seaport, or for a continu-
ance of the blockade, than the presence
there Of large quantity Of cotton. Cities
will be the chief objects of attack next
winter should the war continue; the coun-
try, they we'll know is unassailable. Place
one million bales of cotton in New Orleans
or any other port, and the Federal Gov
ernment could cheaply afford to expend five
millions Of dollars and employ an army of
one hundred thousand men for the capture
of such prize. If Lincolu's pirates and
6llibusters were unable to effect its seizure,
his secret incendiaries migh effect its des-
truction.
"No better bait could be offered to the
British and French to continue their nom
Intervention policy than for Lincoln's Gov
ernment 10 say to them, "keep hands of in
this quarrel, and when we have captured
the ports the cotton accumulated there shall
go out to Liverpool or Harve as it always
has DONE"
"With crops stored in cities at a few as
sailable points, such would be the Northern
argument to foreigners; scattered through
the country, it would be beyond the reach
of the enemy, and cotton would still be
king.
"Is it not apparent that it is better that
cotton should be kept in interior towns, &C.
cessible to the chief markets in few days,
or, better still, be stored by the planter
himself at home until there is prospect of
a revival of trade ?"

NE MORE FOR THE WAR


Ncssrs Editors The organization Of
the "Indian Land Guards" was completed
at Rock Hill, on Saturday, the Sd instant.
AS the list will show, it is composed Of
good material, as good as any section can
boast. York is acting bravely in the pres
ent struggle. She refused to take British
protection in Revolutionary times and as
long as Kings Mountain has place in the
memory of her sons, she will not be un-
willing, nor forget to do her duty, her whole
duty.
This District has voting population OF
twenty-five hundred, not more but often
lees, and has now in the field four large or
ganized companies, besides those who have
gone to the assistance of sister Districts,
and of North Carolina; not because these
needed their services, but that they were
eager to be enrolled among the patriotic
warriors of their country.
We know that the South Battalion of the
46th Regiment of 8. c. NJ, has one hun
dred and twenty men or more in the field,
belonging to companies gone both from this
State and North Carolina. 1t now reports
a company for the war, and may we not
add, "well DONE"
AS this company has not yet obtained a
hundred names; others will be received
until the company is full. "If'twere we'll,
'twere done, 'twere we'll done, done quick.
ly." This quotation applies to the making
up the company, as we'll as to driving back
the ruthless invader, from our soil. Vir-
ginia is our sister and We are not willing
that the mother of heroes and Statesmen
should be trespassed with the unhallowed
heel of such an unholy foe. Like our
fathers of '76, We have the cause to give
US success, the Statesmen, the generals and
heroes to give our newborn Confederacy a
position among the nations Of the earth,
and bright place in history. Let us all
contribute in some way to make for it q
spotess name.

this while they were exposed to the fire of
the enemy's sharp.shooters, and tremen-
dous shower Of grape and she'll from their
artillery. As they crossed the stream, in
places waist deep, at the foot Of the hill,
and began to climb the next and last as
cent, they received farther and most gal
ling fire from the Mississippians behind,
until the latter fell back under the active
and well-aimed batteries.
The 5th we're now isolated in the pre-.
sence of force at least six times as great,
having all advantages of position the for
mer, too, exhausted by wearisome watching
and forced marches, the latter were as fresh
as oiled athlet@ for the fight Yet their
line, which was necessarily broken in de-
scending the hill, was reformed and their
Colonel, cool yet firm as steel in the hour
of peril, only awaited the support of t'co
companies (his orders) to make the charge.
Capt. Fontaiue's Company of the Missis'
sippi 18th, rallied to the support Of the 5th !;
and they were held there by the indomita-
bic spirit that brings victory, three. quarters
of an hour by the aoatch, until orders, which
were three several times issued, came from
Gen. Jones for them to retire.
Meanwhile, just before these orders were
received, the enemy's bugle sound "to
horse" was heard, and Col. Jenkins was in
momentary expectation of receiving a
charge of cavalry. Considering it prefer
able to the open field behind the laurel
jungle, he marched his regiment forward
lin good order under the brow Of the hill,
where they were screened from the artille-
ry. Two companies of sharp-shooters, with
long ranged guns, were thrown forward
upon the right, whose well.aimed and ef-
fective firing drove the guuners and caVal.
ry to the woods.
The miscellaneous firing and cheering,
and the exceeding boldness Of the charge,
seem to have produced a panic, and the foe
fed preoipitasely. They appear to have
regarded this whole movement as feint to
disguise flank or rear attack from much
larger force. Their retreat added greatly
to the general rout.
Seventy.four were killed and wounded in
Gen. Jones' brigade. Many of the 9th
were shot from behind by the Mississip-
plans, whose brave and generous hearts
bled within them when they learned what
they had done. The loss of the enemy was
about 40 killed and wounded.
But for the hand of gracious ProVi-
dence, which was visibly on our side every
where during the day, the 9Th must have
been cut to pieces as the Palmetto Regi-
ment were at Cherubusco and their vet.
eran GOODNESS and 6rmness must, to some
extent, at least, be ascribed to their igno-
rance of the enormous danger to which
they were exposed. Take it all in all, this
charge of the 5th on the afternoon of the
21st, was one of the most brilliant, daring
and dangerous, if indeed, not one Of the
most "successful" side.events Of the day.

From Washington.

"Ion" writes from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun (July 26) as follows:
The public appear to have recovered, it
part, from the shock produced by the disaS
ter of Sunday. But in Congress yesterday
the subject was treated in plain terms
Senator Wilson did not hesitate to pro
nounce it total rout, and to indicate one o.
its prominent causes, the inccmpetency o
officers in command.
A bill is now before Congress proposing
a remedy for this defect; while in the mean
time, the War Department has provided 9
preventative by the creation of a military
board, for the examination and approval Of
all officers prior to their being commission
ed.
The disaster also fluids an explanation.
though not an apology, in the declaration
of Gen. Scott, that for once he had yielded
his judgment to the politicians who bese'
him, and permitted the army to be led, un'
prepared, into battle. The same sort o1
untoward influence still exists, and will
hamper any commander, or council of war,
or Cabinet. The President, it is true, did
not undertake to warp Gen. SCOTS judg'
ment, but it is not doubted that the Cabi
net did.
Congress vigorously and almost unani'
mously seconds the efforts of the Admins.
tration and of the State authorities to re-
trieve the disaster.
The money market in New York was
much depressed Ly the panic Of Monday,
and Mr.. Cisco Withdrew, for thu time, the
application for another temporary loan for
the treasury of FIVE millions. Most of it
had been offered, however.
Confederates probably lost as many IN
the field last Sunday as the Federal forces.
But that loss, however great, cannot be set
off, in the eyes Of the world, against the
moral loss of the Federal side Yesterday
the Liverpool mail packet took out the N.
York papers with the details of the defeat
and flight of the Federal army of invasion,
and it cannot fail in Europe to prejudice
the cause of the United States Government.
Many stragglers Of the army have come
in. There is nothing to hinder the return
of all of them within the lines.
Gen. Mcclellan is about to assume the
command of the army of the Potomac
Will he act under the advice or direction
of the politicians? Will he have the whole
responsibility of his command, or will he
share it with Gen. Scott? Much is expect
ed from Gen. Mcclellan, and it is hoped
that he will be untrammeled.

we're fired, but what caused it is still mys'

The Prizes Taken.

We have made grand haul at Manassas,
as will be seen from the following list which
we 6nd in the Richmond Eramtner:: sEs
cit is now ascersained that stores and
munitions to the value Of fully one million
Of dollars we're captured by our troops from
the enemy in the recent battle. SIXTY seq.
en- pieces cfartiNery were taken, among
them one long rifed 32-poundsr, which, by
the way, has already been moved in adi-
rection where it will render good service.
The rest Of the pieces are light field artil-
lery, 6 and IL Founders, more than half
riaed and superbly sighted, among them
several Parrot guns, and several made on
James celebrated patent. The fortune of
war put into our hands, along with these.
cartridges and ammunition sufficient j. to
serve them for days steady firing.
alt is impossible to state anything with
accuracy as to the quantity of muskets and
small arms of all sorts left on the field. The
number could not have been less, however,
than fifteen to twenty thousand, half of
which the ordnance officers, charged with
their collection, think have disappeared in-7
to the possession of Unauthorized individa-
ais. Some of these latter may, through the
vigorous measures taken by the Chief; of
the Bureau, Major Gorgas, be yet recover
ed, he having ordered q thorough search
of the surrounding country, and taken
other steps to seduce them into possession
of the Government. The most of the arms
found are very fne, but much mildewed and
rusted by exposure. They will nearly all.
have to be brought here and thoroughly
cleaned before being fit for use.
From fifteen to twenty thousand blank (
cts were undoubtedly left on the field and
strewn by the way side. This is probably
too moderate an estimate. About one.half
of these will come into possession of the
Government. Haversacks, cartridge boxes,
knapsacks, canteens and overcoats iuim.
mense quantities were also thrown of by
the flying enemy, and now lay in immense
piles before the quartermaster's Office at
Manassas.
"About one hundred and fifty wagons
laden With stores and ammunition, together
with twenty ambulauces, the like Of which,
for comfort and convenience, are not, in the
Confederate States, also form no inconsider-
able portion Of the sp0lia opinsa- OF the re-
cent victory.
"Among the munitions captured are
probably quite two millions of cartridges,
manufactured with great pains and cost,
and including full assortment Of all cali
bres and kinds"
