En-. GArE rY:-Many arc fattered With

these have 08 Senators, and 23B Repre-

stitution must, therefore, receive 40 votes
in the Senate, and l58 10 the House. There
are but 81 adhering States, with 81 Senators
and 205 Representatives; now who is 80
simple Is to believe that, 10 the present state
| OF popular excitcment, any measure could
secure the support Of As out Of 81 Senators,
and l58 out Of 205 Representatives? With
out such vote in the respective Houses Of
| Congress, no constitutional amendment can
be originated But conceds that such vote
| 10 even probable, the amendment must then
| receive an affirmation from "three fourtbs
Of the Ststes"-that just takes 27--evcry
one Of those this day claiming TO be in the
Union. Can any sane man believe, that any
propositions, il il could even pass through
| Congress, could command the support Of
every adhering Slater And without such
sanction, il coull not be iagsafted into the
Constitution.
Ia oil these proceedings, the seven seced-

INCIDENTS CT THE WAR.-Tbe Richmond
correspondent Of the Columbia South Caroli-
nian, relates the following
On the retreat, tired Yankee stopped at 4
farm house and begged for water. Mrs.
Thornton, the owner, banded him tumbler
pouring little brandy into it, as he seemed
very exhausted. As she offered it, he shrank
back for moment, but took it and drank il.
She asked him why he did so, and be replied
"Io be candid with you, feared you had put
poison into it." Sac replied, "Sir, you DO not
know you are speaking to Virginia lady ia
be equally candid with you, you go no FAR.
ther" She then called two Of her servants
and directed them TO disarm him, which they
did. Another coming up for water, che made
hes servants treat him similarly, and thus took
two prisoners. A few minutes after, another
Yankee went to the spring, and servant Girl
gave him water. He said, "Good-bye, girl -
when she said, "No, you must go to my mis-
tress and thank her, not me-" She marched
bin up, and as she got near the party, she cried
out, mistress, here is my prisoner,n and thus
another was bagged, and the three guarded
until a squad of cavalry came and marched
them to headquarters.
An aid of Gen. ReaUTegard told us that be
had just been over to thank the lady, in the
generals name, for her heroic conduct.

SIR: 7 am instructed By General BeauvegsTd,

tomsc, to say that he has received your note
OF the 22d, and to reply thereto.
The general declines giving an internal per-
nit 10 any one residing beyond bis advanced
lines for any purpose which may be accom-
plished by those formal proceedings known to,
and PrscJiced By, civilized belligereHt nations.
B y nc act Of bis will be lever the dignity Of
The Confederate States as a nation BY per-
mitting that to be done indirectly which the
usages Of civilized warfare accomplish
directly.
The arbitrary and unusual course adopted in
such cases as you refer to by the United States
government, viii be the guide Of the generals
conduct in return. any one, therefore, coming
within bis lines without the proper flag will be
sent under an escort to the Confederate Gov
eminent for examination.
The general deems proper for me 10 add that
