The Patent O6tce-This branch of our new
Governments about going into operation, and,
we are glad to observe, under the most favora-
Bile auspices. Commissioner Rhodes has ar
rived from Montgomery, opened his depart
ment ut GGddin's building, and in very short
time will be ready to proceed to business. Ii
has been frequently said that little or no in
yentive talent exists in the South, and that we
must depend upon the North for the various
Improvements which lessen labor and save
time. That this is a false impression-false
as the thousand and one ISLANDERS against
the character of the Southern people which
have been so persistently set forth by the
Northern press-the yet untouched bust
ness Of our Patent Office already af
fords ample proof No less than one hun
bred and twenty applications for new patents,
forty applications to revive old ones forty cave
ats filed for future action, and numerous as
signments for record await the action of the
Commissioner. The income thus accruing to
the Government is not less than five thousand
dollars; and though war has been going Oh
almost since the great political movement was
initiated. instead of being repressed the iu-
ventive talent of our people has been stimu-
| lated to an extraordinary degree. Events
must continue to develope it, and whenever
peace ensues we shall be able to present to the
WORTH rs ldlf IL sDOWlnS III tue improvements
pf art as has been done by the mechanics of
the North. Heretofore we have been depend
ent, because we could enjoy results without
the trouble Of producing them. But that time
| has now past. The emergency is bringing
out our resources, showing the stamina Of the
people, and teaching US that if we have q des-
tiny to fill, We must be our own architects.
II anybody should doubt that we are a mill
tary people, let him step to his front window
| and be relieved. Hardly an hour in the day
passes when his ears will not be greeted with
the roll of the drum, the steady march of men,
| or the sporadic apparitions of volunteers who
have come from syery section of our new Con-
| federacy-men who have been Graded in the
sunbeams and laid. in the roses and lilies of
| ife-men, delicate, refined and intellectual
| old and young, the grandsire and the grand
son-as well as men of the half-horse and
half-alligator breed, who eat fish wi knife,
pick their teeth with their "bowes," sleep on
| the ground, and drink out of the Mississippi.
We welcome them all. United in o common
cause, claim them as brothers, whether
| from the plantations and rice fields of the
| Cotton States, the stock raising prairies of
| Texas, the pine regions of North Carolina, the
wild woods of Arkansas, or our own sunny
State of Virginia. We are glad to see them
| drop into our society every day by hundreds,
| and to read in their brave sun Drowned faces
| the determination to conquer in the coming
struggle, or to leave their bones upon our soil

DEATH OF Cor. R. c. PAYNE. The Mem phis papers bring us intelligence of the death of this gentleman. He died in that city on the 10th inst. The deceased was the late Sen ator from the Memphis Senatorial District in the Senate of Tennessee. We took him by the hand at our landing but few weeks since on his return from Pocahontas, where he had been to visit his daughters. He then com plained of bsing unwell, and as we learn, never recovered from the attack.
