had his abdomen cut open, SO that his bowels
protruded, on Sunday evening, near tho lac
residence of Aygy Peters, in Butchertown. 1t

to prevent disturbance drew near and re-

to the interference by plunging knife in
Roane's bowels. DR.. Jackson was afterwards
called in, and succeeded in replacing the en-
trails and sewing up the gap.

1sa- The following notice from the Secre
tary Of War TO newspaper correspondents IL
timely and appropriate. War Il new thing
to us all--especially such war as that now in
progress. II is natural enough that in its in
cipiency there SHOULD be such acts Of iudiscre-
ton in the press, and such mistakes in credit
ing false ramors, rs inexpericpcs in such a
war would occasion. We have, however, had
some experience, and the mistakes and inds-
cretions Of the past should be warning for the
futqrc. There is decided change for the
better already perceivahle, and we arc sure the
dignifed and gentleman appeal Of the hon
orablc Secretary Of War will have the effect of
Inducing the press to be still more guarded in
what II has 20 say about preparations and

YANKEE CORN on GEORGIA LANDs.-Our
readers will recollect that much complaint
was made some weeks ago by planters who
had used grain brought from the North and
West in putting in their crops. Its early tas-
selling seemed to destroy all hope Of a yield
We thought the complaint premature, as we
had often used with success the same variety
on small scale for table use. A correspon-
dent residing in Talbot county writes us rs
follows, under date Of the 24th inst:
"When l wrote you last, told you great
deal Of Northern corn had been planted in
this county and those ad joining, and the gem
eral opinion was thatit would not do for this
country. Since that time, some are much in
favor of it and express no regrets at having
seeded with it. One of my neighbors has fit
teen acres OF bottom land plan ted, and thinks
the yield will be very heavy.

THE PIRArICAL FLEET There are seven yes
sells at present visible to the naked eye, lying
close to Santa Rosa, along the coast of that
island. The chartered U. S. steam transport
Vanderbilt is amongst the arrivals since San
day morning, and during last night another
large transport, supposed to he the Illinois, ar
rived at the anchorage. II is thought that the
concentration Of so many large vessels in the
vicinity of Fort Pickens indicates some &C ton
on the part of the notorious Harvey Brown,
who claims to be the "Commapder of all the
forces in FIorida." Bah he will soon discov-
er that the greater number are opposed to him
and his command. True to the principles of
liberty, they can never recognize authority
founded upon despotism and the trampinx
upon human rights and constitu tional priyi-
leges. -Psnsacold O6ssrvsr, 25th uit.
II will be remembered that the Vanderbilt
sailed from New York with q miscellaneous
cargo, including Billy Wilson's Out-Throat
Regiment.

The DBFBScEs OF THE MIssIssIPPI.-The

General Polk will have the command. as

the Confederate service, while General Pillow
is in no wise in terfered with as Major General
of the Tennessee army. AT the same time,
being relieved from the routine of duties in
volved in erecting the Mississippi river de-
fences, he will hereafter be able TO give more
attention to the articular work contemplated
In his appoin tment-that Of organizing the
gallant army Of the Volunteer State.
Major General Pillow and Brigadier Genera.
Polk are close and bosom friends, and have
been so for twenty years, and our readers can
rest assured no conflict can occur between the
two Officers. We happen to know that Gene
raj Pillow has applied, with strong prospect
of success, 10 President Davis for orders for
higher duty and position of more import
anee to the country.
Upon his arrival, General Polk will find the
defences erected in the last six weeks, under
the order OF General Pillow. about completed.
They are of such u character as to have met
the approval of all military men who have
examined them, and TO secure the Mississippi
Valley from inv asion by our Northern enc
mics.

Reported Death Of Citizen-Messrs. Blair
& Chamberlain, of this city, received tole-
graphic dispatch yesterday from Lieut.. Rich'd
B. kennon, stating that Mr.. Henry Haines.
{son of Garland Haines, Esq, of 1Ienrico
county, member of the Governors Guard,
had been killed Sunday night. by the enemy,
while out scouting near Fairfax Court House.
In reply to message whether a burial case
should be sent for his remains, reply was re-
ceved that it was not then necessary, as his
body had not been recovered. This suggests
the possibility that the unfortunate casualty
mentioned did not take place. This wears an
air of probability, because at the time the
intelligence of the death of Mr.. II. was re-
ceived it was also rumored that his two COM
panions had been captured by the enemy. He
may also have been captured.

Hospital at Masons' Hall, 25th .Seeet, Church
HiU-This hospital was opened about four
weeks ago, when il received thirty-six sick
men from Col. Fanniu's Arkansas Regiment.
All Of these except two have recovered and
gone TO join their comrades, pear Aqua Creek.
Numerous other patients from other companies
have come and gone, making, probably, about
one hundred who have left the hospital
About forty are there now.
Only two deaths have occurred-one of
these was Patrick O'Riley, of the Hampden
Artillery, of Richmond, who died in twenty
four hours, from injuries received on his head
by q fall from his horse at Grifin's Spring -
The other, Mr. Mears, of Arkansas, died soon
after he was brought to the hospital from
complication of diseases. Private donatit n
of food, delicaeies and money, are welcome at
the hospital.
The people of Church and Union Hills, by
thsir care and labors for the Tenpesseeans at
the Hall of Company G, and the Temperance
Hall, have given themselves lasting title to
the esteem and gratitude Of those who receiv-
cd their timely aid, and indeed of all who
love our country and its brave defenders.
The contributions Of means and personal at
tendance at the Masons' Hall, shows that the
charities of this part of the city are not ex-
hausted, in further proof of which we can
state that parties are ready to reopen the
Temperance Hall as a hospital whenever
necessary.
Many Of the sick soldiers have been also
uaItered at private houses among the good
people aforesaid, where they have iecn at
tended with the of near relatives.

Desiro6le Thing-From the frequent acts
of violence reported as having been commit
ted by parties dressed in "soldier Clothes"
whereby numbers of worthy men now engaged
in the defence of their country are brought
into contempt by no fault of their own, it
would seem jjudicious, as far as i, can he DONE
to keep the disorganizing elemeuts under strict
surveillance. The officers strive zealousIy to
do this, but cannot always succeed. Their
companies sometimes are brought into disa-
greeable prominence by acts which they would
be the last to countenance and first to punish.
If any moro disorders are reported on the par,
of persons who claim to be military men to
escape the penalty Of their misdeeds, the geu-
eral encampmonts now located in this city
will be removed to some suitable place four or
five miles In the country. This has been de-
termined on, as we hear. Such course will
materially increase the discomforts of those
who have peacefully conducted themselves;
yet, 1t would act - an effectual extinguisher
on the rowdy tendencies Of those who, though
few In number, contrive to give bad name
70 oil their brother soldiers.

gentleman who has been engaged far some time

us yesterday with splinter knocked from a

Maryland side, grazed the toll house on the

member of Col Stewards Cavalry was shot
last Thursday, and supposed TO be NOR.

left hip, and passed through his stomach. We

The cannon ball above spoken of, and a
