EVERY Southern paper brings fresh con-
firmation OF the fact that very bitter
state of feeling has, and Is springing up
between the Eastern yirginiaus and the
Southern troops among them. The letter
of DR.. Buist, Surgeon at Hilton Head,
written TO his nephew, from Virginia, and
picked up by orr troops, spoke. our read
ers will remember, in the most contemptu-
GUS terms of the sons of the Old Dominion
The Richmond correspon dent of the Char
teston Courier says:
.Like children in the division of sweet
meats, certain individuals are clamorous
lest the State sballipot receive her due
share Of praise for what she has done and
is doing. They insist that Virginia Is
beariur;tha hrunt OF the conflict; has more
troops in the field than all the other States
put together (she certainly has more ODD
cersl; is expending more money; suffering
more internal injury, and obtaining less
credit that than any one OF her sisters Of
the confederacy. These and similar cir.
cumstauces have bean SO pertlnaeiously
bruited as TO foster even unkiud feelings
between the officers and soldiers OF the va
rious States and those of Virginia. e
You hear the subject discussed:upon the
corners and in hotels, and frequently with
an exhibition of anything but a gentle
spirit
Thislis really rather hard. 1t was bad
enough for the selfishIfellows in Caroltns
to make Virginia receive the shock of the
battle on her soil, Aud then to turn upon
them and abuse them-we should not
blame the Eastern yirginians for rejoicing
at General sherman's occupation Of Port
Royal. Is

under two names, viz; Symptomatic and Idiopathc.
Symptomatici Headache is exceedingly common and

FIRE I'm OXFORD.

TINS morning, about half past three o'clock,
the large two-story brick confectionery of Mr.. G.
w. Reynolds, on the Northwest corner of the
square, caught fire inlthe second story, .acciden-
tally, and by sunrise was heap of smouldering
ruins. The most of his stock, "a fine one,) was
saved by the exertions of our citizens, who were
promptly on the ground, working manfully
The two adjoining frame buildings were strange
to say, saved from the devouring element. The
one on the North was separated by the space of
only three feet, and Mr.. McGurc's rDrDg Store,
on the South, by about four feet Mr.. Nc s loss,
by the removal of his stock, was comparatively
light. Messrs. Wyatt & Duncan, confectioners;
two doors below the Drug Store, also moved out
their effects, only to move them in again in three
or four hours. Mr.. Reynolds house having no
side openings, and being higher than the adon-
ing buildings prevented an. ignition of the
Misunderstanding. He was insured, We learn,
in some Northern company, for $4,000 on the
building. We fear that he will not be paid on
his policy of insurance He has opened on the
corner, adjoining his old stand, where cash GUS
toners, and those indebted to him, would much
oblige him by calling to revive him.

To the citizens of Lafayette County.

Mr.. DAVID L. S. MosELY, Deputy Sheriff, who
is now visiting every portion of the county, is
authorized, as agent for the Intelligencer Office,
TO receive subscriptions for our paper and ex-
ecute receipts therefor. During the important
crisis that is now upon the country, events of
The deepest interest must frequently occur, and
questions of great moment will be presented for
discussion; and it will be our aim to furnish to
our readers the latest and most authentic intel
ligence from every quarter, and so to treat the
great questions of the day as to shed upon them
all the light We can gather from every source
accessible to us. Considering the amount Of
reading matter contained in it, and the quality
of that matter the Intelligencer is by far the
cheapest paper in the State; and we believe that
its circulation in this county, if its merits were
more generally known to our people, would be
lrrgely and speedily extended. Our subscrip-
sion list is already very good one, but, OF
course we desire still further to Increase it.

Benting mp for volunteers.

Pursuant to previous notice large number
of our citizens assembled at the Courthouse on
Saturday last, when it was expected that adj
dresses would be delivered by Col. lamar and
Mr.. Pope. The former gentleman, however,
was too i'll to attend, and the latter, although
present and loudly called for, declined to speak.
Capt. +. NJ. Green was called TO the chair, and,
in a few appropriate remarks, explained the OBJ
feet of the meetng-to obtain volunteers to Gil
up the ranks of the Lamar Rifles, The Hon.
Jacob Thompson responded to a call TO address
the meeting in a stirring and impressive speech,
a report OF which has been furnished by friend,
but, owing to the crowded state of our columns,
and the late hour at which it was handed in, we
arercuctantly compelled to omit it. F. J. Love
joy, Esq, and the Rev. w. w. Mcsfahon were
also called out, and made some telling remarks.
The audience was evidently enthusiastic enough
upon the abstract question of contending for
orr rights, but only few volunteers were OBJ
taincd The fact is, that, if an actual war exist
ed, there would he no difficulty in obtaining a
regiment Of volunteers in this County but,
when it is doubtful whether their services in the
field will ever be required, there are multtudes
of young men, who, however eager for the fray,
are unwilling to enlist in the service Of the State,
thereby ncurying liability to be called away
from their business, for days together, for the
mere purpose of being drilled. We know many
who are willing to give up all, in order to serve
the State, but whose enlistment, under the or
dinance of the Convention, would involve the
loss of their present employments; and this is
loss they cannot afford, unless they are certain
that they will be mustered into actual service.
When the time for action comes all these men
viii be thar" Capt Delays company, we
understand, now numbers something over sixty
men, and Capt Green's is nearly large enough to
meet the requsiton Of the ordinance.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Tue ANALGANAuoS OF LANGgAsE-There is a
growing tendency in this age to appropriate the most
expressive words of other languages and after a
while to incorporate them into our own, thus the
word Cephalc, which Is from the Greek, signifying
for the head is becoming popularized 10 con
nectien with Mr., Spaldings great Headache remedy,
but ii will soon be used in more general way and
the word Cephaic will become as common as Flee

they seem >-native and to the manor born .i'A

A Small Hint.

Persons expecting to realize pecuniary profit
from publications in newspapers, ought to grease
the wheels of the machine that helps them
Newspapers are not chameleons, and cannot feed
on air. All publishers and editors give to the
world much, for which they receive no compen-
saton. They are species of borrowed horses
they should be well fed and taken care of and
not ridden to death. Pay the printer, and he
will well serve you. OF all men the printer
cannot be neglected and do service. He lives
from hand TO mouth.

For orr Merchants.

We have been favored by Col T. z. B. Pcgues
with the perusal Of letter addressed to him by
a firm in Charleston, known to him to be COM
posed of reliable gentlemen, who write that the
market in Charleston is well supplied with such
goods as are required for the Southern trade
and they also express the hope, in which we
heartily concur, that our merchants will give
them chance to show upon what favorable
terms they are prepared to dispose Of them
Let us trade, hereafter, with our friends. At
least, when our friends are ready TO do as well
by us as those who traduce and yillify us, let us
not pass by those who are with us to give our
money to those who desire to cut our threats.
