The Practical Patriotism of Southern
Women.

The Practical Patriotism of Southern
Women.
40 woman, in our hours of easeH-the
reader knows the rest she is charming
bundle of tickle fancies and impracticable
WITNESSES. very ornamental indeed, a very
dear luxury that will not answer for human
natures daily food" In those hours of
fiowery dalliance. her noblest uses are latent,
her beneliceut mission is waiting for the oe-
casion, the angel of comfort and healing
within her is sleeping. But at the call of
distress, amid the trials of adversely, wheth-
er public or private, all this is changed
There is then no fortitude like the fortitude
OF this delicate creature, no inflexibility of
duty and tireless energy in doing good like
hers. However bright she may be in sun
shine, she is never brighter than when the
sky is darkest. The. sun may set in clouds,
the stars may be quenched in storm, but only
to cause her virtues to shine forth in IN
quenchable brightness. Romance and po-
etry have in all time delighted to bear this
testimony: and nowhere was it ever more
fully deserved and more fully corroborated
than in the South since the beginning OF our
war of independence. The enemy has mad
no foe TO encounter more formidable tnah
cur women. They are our true home guard.
They never sleep IN their posts. Their pa
triolic ILLUSTRATIONS are universal Tney nfe
the hearts of soldiers everywhere; they sus-
tain their patience and nerve their resolution
with sweet memories and sweeter hopes, sa-
cred affections and high and pure aspirations.
They are the heart and the religion OF
our cause. Hon,eiy and irksome are the Of
fees which they are eager to perform. Their
deyotion spurns all COW entional dis
tinciions in the path Of duty and patriotism.
With an instinct wiser than philosophy, they
feel the Infinite value of small things, the in
calculable effect of humble uses; and therein
are they mightiest and greatest, and thereby
do they illustrate the beautiful Significance OF
that saying: They that are last shall be first.
The South is rich in elements OF invicibilty.
But. depend upon il, nothing goes farther to
constitute the totality of her inyincible pow
err than the practical patriotism and the un-
Iconquersbis spirit Of her women.>N. O

A Reported Fight.

Sr. LOUIS, OCT. II.
The following dirpatch was received from
an ofhcer~at Pilot knab, dated ten o'clock
last night: Major Garitt. of the LIST Iowa
cavalry, made attack on the enemy this
morning, when, discovering the strength of
the rebels, he came upon Col. Alexander with
600 infantry of the 21st Illinois and one
piece of artillery. The enemy followed,
fighting all the way. Major Garitt then got
his gun in position, and concealing his in
fantry, caused part of command to retreat
still further, drawing the enemy into am
buscade and forcing them to fall back with
heavy loss.

Coal On. FOR PAINT.-An important dis
covery is announced. 1t consists in the sub
stitution Of oil for turpentine, in the prepa-
ration of paint. Experiments have proved,
it is said, that coal oil is equal, if not supe-
rior, TO turpentine for this purpose. Pig
ments ground and mixed with it are found 10
dry as well, and without the slightest injury
TO color white mixed with it retains ali its
purity, and in the process known to painters
as ''fat!ing," it not only works easier and
smoother than turpentine, but gives supe
riOr flush, owing to its greater density and
ductility. The present scarcity and high
price of turpenline renders this discovery, If
further experiment sustains it, important in
the highest degree.-Rochestsr az. ~ Express.

Important from 1he POtomae---The
Payynee sunk.

The War Department has received no dis
patches whatever with reference to the late
reported affair in the neighborhood of Har-
per's Ferry, where Colonel Ashby's cavalry
are stated to have engaged a detachment OF
the enemy. No advices of the engagement
have been received at the department beyond
personal accounts. These represent the en-
envy to have been about 1900 strong our
force not being larger than 800- The state
ment of the enemy's loss at about sixty
killed and fifteen prisoners taken, with the
loss of only one man on our side, as men
toned by us in Saturdays paper. is probably
an exaggeration of the results of skirmish,
mostly, as we can understand, fought hand
hand.
The battery at Transport is reported to
have done excellent execution within the
last few days, although working as yet but
lew of it's guns a large schooner was dis
mastrd by its fire a few days ago, and the

Der some sixty or seventy sail. Lower down

Prices and Fremont's Movements.
SYRACUSE Mo- Oct IL

A messenger from Gen. Fremont's head
quarters, at Warsaw, reached here to day
with dispatches for Gen. McKin stry. 1t
was stated that Price had made a stand in
Cedar CO, 25 miles from Osceola, with
% 600 well-armed and disciplined troops
and large force of irregular militia.
On the arrival of Gen. Fremont at War
saw, the opposite bank of the Usage was
lined with rebel horsemen, who were disper-
sed by few rounds of canister
Fremont had begun preparations to laya
pontoon bridge across the Usage when the
messenger left, and it was supposed that
his army would be over the river on We'd
nesday night He was determined to push
forward with the utmost sigor and would
probably soon come up with the enemy and
force him to fight or retreat.
