Prodigal Son, would iain save their husks
and straw against a day Of adversely.
He says:
Planters and farmers will do the
State good service in saving and preserv-
ing, as far as possible, all provision and
forage crops. The rice straw and other
materials which are ordinarily not con-
sidered worth saving, will soon be in
great demand, should be put up in con-
venient packages for keeping and trans
portation."

RELIABLE STATEMENTS.

A gentleman who has been residing in
Charleston, S. c., since last October ar
rived in this city yesterday, having left
Charleston last week on Saturday. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the state
of public affairs there and throughout the
South. He has seen the entire working
of the secession movement, has been in
innate with some of the leading spirits
and understands their motives and inten-
tions, and their present view of the prog
ress of events. His means for obtaining
information have enabled him to form
opinions, and he presents statements
which should command the attention OF
the public. He has kindly given US in
formation which we present to our read
ers. First of all, he desires US to say
that he has been courteousy treated at
Charleston, and leaves many warm friends
in that city. He took no pains to con-
ceal his sentiments, bur never obtruded
them upon his friends. Some member;
of the Vigilance Committe took pains tc
report his sentiments, but being intimate
ly acquainted with persons high in au-
thority, he received no notice to leave
He came North at his own instance, hav-
ing completed the particular business
which called him to the South.
JOURNEY HOME.
Having obtained credentials from in
Auential parties at Charleston, he return
ed by Weldon, Petersburgh, and Rich,
mond. His credentials were of essential
service AT every station there were
crowds of whisky-drinking men peeping
into the cars, scrutinizing every passen-
ger closely, the gentleman and his party
in particular, as if every stranger OF
traveller was an enemy TO Southern rights
aud institutions. He wisely minded hi:
own business, and to many looker-or
he thinks he must have appeared to be q
sleepy fellow, for it was much easier tC
hear what was going on-tbe remark.

he suggests are the equipment of six vol

strated, but the boy would enlist, and en-
list he did. Now, the old gentleman had
two more sons who worked the farm

WASHINGTON, May 20.
Senator Morrill, OF Maine has just re-
turned from a visit to fortress Monroe.
He reports that the troops are in good
condition, and applied with plenty of
provision and ammunition. There are
about three thousand men there.

WAsHINGToN, May 20. The Seere-
tary Of War, in a letter to Acting Sur
geon General Wood, alludes to the bad
and Unhealthy condition of the quarters
provided for the troops, and says the cit
izen soldiers who so promptly and patri-
otically responded to the call of .he Pres

and laws are entitled to the tenderest
care and most assiduous attention OF the
Government and the Surgeon General
is directed to cause Immediately an in

SOUTH CARoLINIANs.

sOur informant having travelled, first and
last through nearly every state, North
and South, is well qualified to speak of
the state of society in South Carolina, in
comparison as well as in contrast with that
of other states. 1t seems that to be a
citizen Of South Carolina is more than to
be a citizen of the Confederate States of
America, In Charleston the Southern
Contederacy is always put second to
South Carolina. II am South Carroll
an, l would have you understand" is a
common form of statement when they
speak of citizenship. They delicateIy
give the short sound Of as in pin, and
with emphasis, as if Soa,h Carolina was
more than all the rest of the world.
There is no love lost between South
Carolina and Georgia, for both aim to be
Empire States. This sentiment Of supe-
riority has been nursed till it has become
ingrained into society. They look upon
all Northerners with contempt The sto-

VmGINIA.-The New York Tribune

VRGNIA.-The New York Tribune
says:
"a gentleman who has just arrived
here from Virginia, where he has been for
the last two months in all its principal
cities, estimates from bis own observation
that there are not less than 10000 men,
well armed and equipped, now in the field
in that State. From Winchester to Har-
per's Ferry, he travelled in company with
three regiments from Tennessee, as well
armed and drilled as our northern troops.
These men said that they were to be fol-
lowed by 10000 more from that State, as
fast as the capacity of the railroad will
permit. The impression among the sol
diers was that their destination was Wa
shington, but the better informed among
the officers supposed that 80, 900 of their
best troops were to cross into Pennsylva-
MIA and make a rapid march for Pbila-
delphia. When this body moves, an
equal number, under Davis himself, is to
threaten Washington, so that no relief
can be spared for Philadelphia. Our in
formant further says that the rebels seem
perfectly confident of success, though well
/ informed as to the state of affairs at Wash
ington and in the north generally"

The Tallahassee Sentinel has just
learned how Mr.. Lincoln lives. 1t says ;
Lincoln keeps five men in his room to
guard him by night, and Mrs. Lincoln two
to guard her Old Abe, in order TO keep
his spirits and courage up, 'pour5 spirits
down, and is half drunk all the time
For fear of being poisoned, Mrs. Lincoln
has turned cook, and prepares all the food
they eat. Some ministers of the Gospel
recently called to see him to entreat him
to desst from his mad policy of coercion,
when the indignant Abe cursed them
away, swearing that the southerners sho'd

All Is quiet at Charleston. Sumter
having been taken, the troops have moth
ing to do. Two regiments onlyof South
Carolina troops have come north. They
are at Richmond. There are from three
to four thousand troops in the forts and
on the islands. The city companies are
at home. They meet for drill three or
four times a week. There is little or no
business, The city is "as doll as Sun
day" Provisions are held at high rates.

was scarce. Gold was not to be had at
the banks only to pay duties, and ten per
cent. was the ruling price for that. He
knew that one honorable gentleman, ow.
ing money in Boston, offered to give two
thousand dollars ia bills for one thousand
in gold, but the offer found no takers
The gentleman, although a rabid seces-
sionist, having employed workmen from
the North in the service of the city, Pc
titioned the Mayor to be allowed to pay
them in gold, but the Mayor replied that
they must take the notes Of the banks.
Our informant says that the deprecia.
ton of the bank bills has been rapid since
Linclon's proclamation, and he is conf
dent that before the summers over they
will be worth about as much as Continen-
tai Currency was at the close Of the Rev
dictionary war. The blockade of the
ports and an utter suspensionof business
will inevitably produce such a result. A
few of the business men understood this
bat the people generally who are unac-
quainted with the first principles Of polit-
ical economy, see nothing to mar the fu-
ture glory of the commercial metropolis
of the Southern Contederacy, as they
fondly imagine Charleston is destined
to be.

upon the skilfull and comprehensive pre-
parations at headquarters, the N. Y. Com

In this systematic, gradual but sure
hemming in of his adversary, the genius
of Winfield Scott shines in its clearest
