THE PRIvATEERs STILL AT WORK-TME FOR
Our MERCHANTS TO BE MOvNG.-We learn from
the Charleston Courier that the privateer jeff
Davis has captured large Philadelphia brig
from Havana and taken her into Brunswick,
Georgia, in the absence of the blockading brig
Perry. The captured brig was loaded with
sugar, and, together with her cargo, is said to
have been worth one hundred and sixty thou
sand dollars. She is the eighth prize known to
have been taken by the jeff Davis.
This is but one more added to the long list
which had preceded it. The rebels have gone
to work in good earnest. They make use of any
craft which they can lay their hands on, arm
them as they can, and sally forth, as the result
proves, conquering and to conquer. They
have small choice as to the kind of vessels
which they shall employ; but they take and use
such as they can get, and we see with what dis
astrous consequences to our commerce.
We should do we'll, in this as in many other
matters, to learn from our enemies. Let us
profit by their example. If they had had the
same kind of rusty, unwieldly, disjointed
machinery to work with in the departments
VI IACh SONeILueHt WulCu we aIc SUD-
jected to, they would not to-day have
had one privateer aaoat. But they have sense
enough to use such means as they have at i'm
mediate command, and do not wait to build gun
boats and steam frigates, to be finished year
hence. They are not enveloped in endless coils
Of red tape, which bind them hand and foot.
1t seems to us that the time for begging and
beseeching of the Navy Department to do some
thing effective has passed. If our merchants
really desire the privateers swept from the
ocean, let them move in earnest in the matter
Meetings should be called in this and every
other commercial city, and resolutions adopted
requesting the President to put one of the ablest
men in the country at the head of the Navy
Department. Mr.. Lincoln still retains the con-
fidenee Of the people in the honesty of his in
tentions, and there is nothing more important
that he can do to justify that confidence than to
give us more competent Secretary of the
Navy.

mony or demonstration The game went beforei
the players did not shout throw their hats only
the Reception Committee stepped up to the barouche and
welcomed Mrs Lincoln to the ground. Mrs. Lincoln was

remained but very few moments, and drove immedi-
ately back the hotel TO dinner during which she gave
private interview to Mr.. Peters, Of the National, his
lady and nieces-Msscs Waters and Leighton, Of Phia-
delphia.
Mr. Hay, the Private Secretary Of the President re-
turned to Washington this morning thinking that his
services were needed there. Mr.. Hay really needs a
vacation and the President is anxious that he should
have one, but Mr. Hay cannot feel satisfied to remain
here in deness when he knows that he be of use at
Washington, and | am sure that those who know his
efficient services there will be glad of his return
Tonight grand hops will be given both the Mansion
and the National and Mr. Robert Lincoln, and possibly

EDITOR.

NeTberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
CONSERVATISM therefore, furnishes one of the
best mediums in the State for advertisers, SO far as
Ncwberry District is concerned, while 1t enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements arc certainly as
reasonable us those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
ributors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With their assistance, the editor
will ondeavor to make his journal acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and frc-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy of the
American States WIS formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated and that ':the Plantation
States" have been the only suiferers-:hat the
Union of these States is no longer policy founded
on the principles Of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is the cohesive power Of public
plumber the proprictors prcfcrthat their journal
shall rather seem to be q Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate Of the Union at
any price.
TERNIS.-Thc paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town Of Newberry at The fol-
lowing reasonable rates OF subscription:
One copy, per year, $500
Three copies, 500
Five copies, 500
Ten copies 1900
Twenty copies, $500
esg' The money upon these terms always to
paid in advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrcaragcs
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrp-
ton price is received; unless at the option of the
proprictors, when the circumstances call for diff
fercnt course.
i'll business communications should be addressed
to the .Conseryalisi, Nexbcrry. s. c." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be adj
dressed to the Editor of the Conscrvatist."

of said regiment. We arc not advised as
to how the vacancy will be filled. If by
graduation, we have nothing to say. If
by another election or by appointment
the said vacancy is to be filled, we have
q man in the ranks Of the Butler Guards
whom we think admirably qualified for
the position We alludo to Col. E. P.
Jones, of Grcenvillc. His connection
with the military for twenty years past,
and his experience and judgement, cmi-
nently fit him for the position. We have
no disposition to disparago the claims Of
gentlemen now occupying positions as
field officers in the regiment. They are
brave and clever gentlemcn. If they are
promoted, we shall not utter one word of
dissatisfaction. Should an election, low
ever, be ordered, Col. (now privatc) Il. P.

The Cross of the South.

O say can you see, thro the gloom and the storm,
More for the darkness, constellation
Like the symbol Of love and redemption its form
As it points to the Heaven of Hope for the nation
How radiant each star, US they beacon afar,
Giving promise of Peace, or assurance in War!
Tis the Cross ofthe South which shall ever remain,
To light us to Freedom and Glory again.
How peaceful and blest was Americas soi
Till betrayed by the guile of the Puritan demon,
Which turks under virtue and springs from its COLL
To fasten its fangs in the life-blood of freemcn.
Then loudly appeal to each heart that can feel,
And crush the foul viper meath Liberty's heel,
And tbe Cross of the South shall forever remain
To light us to Freedom and Glory again
Tis the emblem of Peace, tits the day-star of Hope.
Like the sacred Labarum which guided the Roman;
From the shores of the Gulf to the Delwares slope,
Tis the trust Of the free and the terror of foemen.
Fling its folds to the air, while we boldly declare
That the Cross OF the South shall forever remain
To light us to Freedom and Glory again.
But if Peace should be hopeless and Justice denied
And Wars bloody vulturc should flap his black
pinions,
Then gladly to arms, while We hurl in our pride,
Defiance to Tyrant's and death to their minions.
With our front to the feld swearing never to yield
Or return like The Spartan in death on our shield
And the Cross of the South shall trumphantly wave
AS the flag of the Free or the pail of the brave.

CAMP BEAUREGARp.
LEGARE's LANDING, April Is, 1861

i4Cu<ANL . lLANOiANO;
The excitement of the bombardment is
now over, and all eyes are turned to the
hostile fleet which lay in silence just be-
yond the bar. We have seen from this
point, the whole Of the act, which has
now become q great historic event. AL
though no lives have been lost, blood has
been shed, and war is now the declared
purpose of the Northern Government
That appears to be the only solution now
left US. Thank God Carolna's honor
has been vindicated, and she now stands
before the world and in the circle of sew
en-, equal and disenthralled from the stig-
ma of the Federal flag upon Fort Sum-
ter. If the fleet attempts to enter our
harbor they will be demolished. That
they know full we'll, or they would have
given heroic response to the distress sig
nal from Major Anderson's beleagued Tor
tress. If they attempt to land troops,
why then will the soldiers of Carolina
vindicate their much ridiculed chivalry
We sincerely hope they may speedily
make the effort, so that the issue may at
once be determined. If they are to be
our masters, and our necks are to be bow
ed to a CALLING military yoke, then let us
and the world know our deep degrade
ton. If vc be not froemen, then VIC
have no right to be holding up our heads
as SUCH We say let the issue come-we
fear not its result.
The termination Of the recent lombard
ment is certainly one Of the most aston
ishing that history has ever known
What tribute does it pay to science,
and how thoroughly docs it impress upon
us the necessity of giving the manage
mcnt and direction of our military affairs
to military men educated as such. Among
the men at Cummings point was the
venerable Mr.. Ruffin, Of Virginia. lie
fired the first gun from that battery, and
was an anxious observer and participator
in the stirring scenes of that day. The
old gentemcan, we are told, was knocked
heels over head by sand bag which WAS
displaced by a ball from Fort Sumter
But he promptly arose, waving his hat
exultingly, with his sIvery white locks
floating upon The breeze. If the Commits
sary and quartermaster's departments
were directed by such men, we think there
would be rs much satisfaction in these, as
in the military arrangements proper
Perfect organization, with able and com
petcnt heads in every department, should
now be the general object. Wherever
incompctcncy exhibits ITSELF conscicn-
tious and patriotic spirit should procure
It's Immediate removal.
The Governors Guards still guard this
point. They numberaow ninety-six men,
and for orderly conduct and true soldiers
spirit of readiness for the contest and en-
DURANGO of the trials Of military life, can
not be cxcclIcd by any corps in the service.
There is no sickness i'll camp. All paclia-
ges for the Guards should be directed to
the care Of W. II. Easlcrby, Charleston
