MORE VOLUNTEERS.

We invite attention to the call for volun-
teers to be found in another column of this
issue. Old York has so far, acted nobly in
the impending contest, but much yet re-
mains to be done. We are pleased to learn
that neucleus has been formed which rem
ders success almost certain; besides the
material of which it is composed, is another
guarantee that the company will be speedily
raised. We suppose waen the company is
organized it will be attached to Col. WADE
HAMpToN's Legion, and from an adver-
tisement in the South Carolinian, we see
the Legion is to be ordered to Virginia.-
The hallowed memories of the "grand old
mountain" within our border, reminds us
of the debt Of gratitude we owe the gallant
Col. CAMPBELL, and makes it peculiarly
obligatory on US to send at least one Com
pany to assist the Old Dominion in this her
day of trial.

Home Munitions and Arms.

When they seized million of boxes Of
percussion caps the other day at New York,
there was great rejoicing among our ene-
mics. Afterwards we saw a statement pa
raded that there was no mauufactory of
caps south of the Delaware We are glad
to observe, from our exchanges, that man
ufacturer at Nashville, Tennessee, is now
busily engaged in the manufacture of per-
cussion caps. The Gazette learns that ar
rangements have been perfected by which
they can be turned out at the rate of 20,-
600 per day.
In Raleigh, also, Professor Emmons, with
the assistance of Mr.. Knester, has succeed.
ed in making excellent cans. A manufac-
tory will soon be established there.
One of the New York Black Republican
journals was also toasting that the South,
when her ports were blookaded, could get
no more rifed cannon. 1t turns out that
they are making them successfully at New
Orleans. Thus we are daily becoming more
independent of our enemies, as we'll in the
implements of war as in the necessaries of
life-food and clothing.-GolunaJia Guar

Friday Evening, May 10, 1861.

Friday Evening, May 10, 1861.
Dear Enquirer Your first semi.week-
ly issue came to camp yesterday evening;
and every one so far as we have heard, is
pleased with the change-regarding it as an
evidence Of enterprise, and of desire to
meet the wants Of a reading public. We
are disposed to compliment its tidy and
graceful appearance.
Gen. Beauregard has issued orders for
no one to be granted furlough to 60 home
until his return. So, for the present, you
may look for no more Of US in York. The
immediate cause of this order is, We pre-
sumo, the blockade of this port. The NJ
agoro, the largest and best provided man
of.war belonging to the United States Navy,
is expected tomorrow; after which time no
vessel will be allowed to enter the port of
Charleston, while those now in the harbor
will be given reasonable time to depart.
It is not expected that this will lead to a
fght between our forces and the blockading
vessel. The one.horse movement is simply
designed to shut off Charleston from the
commerce Of the world
We had the pleasure few days ago, of
visiting the city again; and employed our
self with visiting the Museum of Charles
ton College, the Orphan House, and the
offices of the Courier and Mercu'y. 10

essential institutions Of the city-as we

The Blockade of Charleston.

This piece Of folly, so long threatened
by the Lincoln Government, has at last been
attempted, by the sending of the steam frig-
ate Niagara, which arrived off the bar yester-
terday morning. The Niagara is the largest
of the men.of.war belonging to the U. States
Government. She carries so guns, and is
reported to have 600 men on board. Large
as she is, she may be captured, for such
things have been done before. We learn
that day or two since, when the report of
the blockade reached Charleston, number
of maritime men offered to bet that if she
came, she would be in possession Of the
Confederate States in less than ten days.
We have not heard of that betbeing taken !;
but should permission begiVen them to carry
out their plans, then partly matured, we are
sure they would succeed.
We have learned that the firm of John
Alexander & Co., of this city, have lot Of
iron on board British ship, from Glasgow,
which is expected to arrive at Charleston
during the coming week. If the Niagara
attempts to enforce the blockade against
such ships, it will present question Of in
ternational law about which John Bull will
have something to say-Colunsbia Coroli-

A Patriotic Floridian Darkie.

We are permitted to make the following
extract fom letter received by a gentle
man of Elizabeth County, N. c., from his
slave in Jacksonville, Florida. We learn
that be is very intelligent negro-that he
served with his master in the Mexican war,
and was presented with q gold watch by
General Taylor, for meritorious conduct.
After brief reference to domestic affairs,
the letter goes on to say:
I have thought all along, until now, that
all this war business would amount to moth
ing. But seeing, yesterday, about four or
five hundred men in Jacksonville, muster
ing and making up companies, and hearing
three or four speeches, I understood what
all this means: that war is upon us, and no
mistake about it. Ifyou are called upon to
60, I am willing to take your place and If
you are not going, I would like to 60 into
the service of my country. I do not feel
that it would be right for me not to fight
those Northerners. I have visited both
Northern and Southern States, and I rave
seen the way the Abolitionists oppressed
my poor colored race, and let them starve
for want of something to eat, and it all
couvinces me that my present situation is

unseers collected around them, and they

unteers collected around them, and they
were soon nicked "Our jeff and "Oid
Abe" "Old Abe" fought with stubborn
tenacity Of purpose, worthy Of his hard
headed prototype; while "our JEFF" ad.
ministered his 'pushes' with v;gor and
directness, which made the powerful horns
of the former entirely useless. We all
looked upon the belligerents as admirably
personifying Abe & Co. and Davis & Co.,
and their pitched battle as ominious Of the
issues of our present struggle. We hope
the length of the fight will not be typical
of the future. After q two hours heat,
"Our jeff" worried with the stubborn per-
sistence and "severe" inactivity Of his an
tagonist, and further exasperated by two
dogs at his heels, gave "Old Abe"a "lunge"
out" which whirled him around, and then
a blow in the side which sent him full tilt
among the volunteers, scattering them in
every direction to make roon for his flight !
Even this catastrophe to the drama may
possibly be repeated ere long in Lincoln's
sudden departure some night from Washs
ington. -, .,g.yg,,
We think, however, for the present at
least, that both the North and the South
are inclined to act on the defensive. The
North under the ruse Of protecting WASH
ington, is collecting, arming and drilling
an army Of subjugation. The South ispre-
pairing to defend our homes and fresides
and her soil from invasion. Neither is
ready to 60 forth ''conquering and to
conquer" and both wish the prestige Of
fighting an enemy who has assailed them.
The consequence may be no battle until af-
ter the 4th July when the Northern Con-
gress meets. The action Of this body will
20 far to decide whether the war isto be
long or short-bloody or not. 49,, ..'

The Great Tornado.

:. ORANaEBURa, s. G., May 7, 1861.
, The great tornado which swept over our
district yesterday afternoon will long be
remembered, as one of the most remarkable
as we'll as disastrous calamities which have
ever occurred in this neighborhood.
It began about half.past four o'clock, 60
ing from west to east 1t first broke in its
tury upon the plantation Of L. G. Glover,
doing much damage to the fences and very
seriously iDjuring one Of his negroes. Rap.
idly passing from this locality, it rushed in
its desolating course successfully over the
plantations Of R. T. H. Legare, j. j. An
drews, q. Ellis and II. Wanuamaker, tear.
ing the fences to pieces, and ripping up the
crops most frightfully. 1t next swept
through the plantation Of Mrs. John O..
Cain, utterly destroying all the buildings
upon her place, crippliug one little negro,
and throwing Mr.. George H. Pooscr about
100 feet, literally covering him with lum-
Der. 1t next passed to the plantation Of DR..
j. G.. Jenkins, and here the work of devas.
tation was most complete. The Doctors
dwelling and out-buildings were entirely
new, and we'll arranged, but so utter was
the destruction wrought in moment by
the furious whirlwind that scarcely a vest.
ige of any Of the houses remain. Two of
his negroes were instantly killed, and he
himself, his wife and child and two negroes
we're badly bruised and wounded.
The hurricane next passed over the plan
tatiou of John Rickenbacker, Esq, de-
st,oying all his uegro.houses, and wounding
one or two of his negroes. 1t then passed
over Four Hole Swamp, but what damage
it has occasioned beyond, is not yet ascer-
tanned.
The course of the gale which I have in
dicated, extends for a distance of twenty
five miles, and the width of the path of the
whirlwind was about quarter Of a mile.
The roar of the tempest was frightful.-
When first seen, the whirlwind was red,
but soon afterwards it became very black.
Its power was wonderful, and it bole heavy
fragments of DR.. Jenkins houses more
than tho males from the site of the houses.
In traversing the wood it twisted up and
prostrated the largest pine trees in every
direction, and in one instance it tore up
stone wall entire, leaving it with its foun-
dations highest. l may give you hereafter
some further accounts of the effects of this
tremendous tornado. Correspondent Of the
Charleston Mercury.

CAUTION NEcEssARY.-The public anx-
iety to be advised as to the intended opera
tions of the troops now being concentrated
in Virginia cannot, of course, be gratifed by
those having charge Of the military prepa-
rations Of the South. Publicity would ad-
wise our enemies as well as our friends; and,
if forewarned, they would be more efficient
ly forearmed. Every rejecting reader will
see that prudence requires the utmost eau
ton on the part of our leaders in the great
struggle which is inaugurated. Every pru-
dental consideration will convince the most
anxious of the necessity Of secrecy. We
