The western cnnn,,ss.

We were conversing with gentleman from the
West a few days ago, whom we judge spoke advised
ly, who stated that the number of volunteers from
the Western counties SO large that he thought
: there were not enough men left to make suitable
provision for the support of the women and children
there This speaks volumes for the patriotism of
the West, but it imposes the important duty upon
those counties and the State to make suitable pro-
vision not only for the brave men who go forth to
fight our battles but for the support of their fami
lies. There is, however, another stand point from
which this fact should be viewed, which demands
the careful consideration of the authorities IVES
tern Carolina itself is sound to the core. But it
borders upon East Tennessee, where the Lincoln
feeling although silenced somewhat and measurably
subdued, still exists 1t is absolutely certain that
Lincoln, under the influence of Andy johnson, WILL
if possible throw his forces into East Tennessee
Already he has large numbers of troops advancing
in that direction. Gen. Zolcofer will resist their
advance but at last accounts his force was too small
to do it effectively. By this time he has no doubt
been reinforced and doubt the probability of
Lincoln's making a successful advance. But with
that state Of things in that quarter, it strikes
being sngularly iniudicOus to draw off all Western
troops from that quarter 10 defend Virginia and
sea coast There are enough men in the middle and
Eastern counties 10 protect our coast against any
force that Lincoln can bring, especially with The
Western already there. The regiments and
companies therefore in the West, it seems to us,
ought to remain there for the present at least until
the designs of Lincoln be more fully developed.

The Charleston Courier gives an account of a
battle ncar Leesburg which followed the battle at
that place on Friday. Its correspondent from Ten
treville on the 3Oth says it was one of the most
gallant fights which has occurred. He says That
Col. BarkSdalcS regiment encountered $500 Of the
enemy, and drove them into their entrencbmentS
with loss of more than 40 killed and wounded,
with two killed on our side. ~
q The blockade Of the Potomac makes provisions
scarce in Washington. The blockade is considered
effective at Quantico and Matthias Point ..
The defences of Charleston harbor are considered
entirely complete. Gen. Ripley has every thing
in readiness
1t is said that the Lincoln fleet consists of three
brigades under command of Gems. Wright, Stevens,
and Nillct, all under command of Gen. Sherman

WHAT MAKES Coop Army OFFICER 1.-The coun-

willing TO enter the army, if they be made Off
There is difficulty in getting officers, but
good officers who worth riSking are not so
easily obtained. But what constitutes good off.
Ger: 1t is not enough for man TO be good tacti.
clan or strategist-these he ought to be-but the
chief thing if a man has sense enought to be off.
GER is to have heart, and TO keep it in the right
pLace. He must be good disciplinarian. But what
does that mean To hold ones head up and to be
as stiff as steclyards-to drink wEiSkey and swear
never to recognize private acquaintance and
friend, who is often a better man than he S-to
speak to men. white men, as if they were dogs or
slaves? None of it. That may do for Lincoln's
hirelings. but it will never do for our citizen soldier
". Such treatment will break the spirit and des
troy the true courage Of any man-it makes ma
chimes or bruteS Of them. No. 1t is to be strict in
enforcing wholesome and proper rules, but mild yet
firm in doing it. An officer of volunteers should be
father among his men-he must make them love
him, if he would have them to respect him. He
must be reasonable, just and wise in his demands,
and they will follow him TO the death. Above all,
he must care for their souls. An officer who does
not visit his sick often sympathze with them, pro-
The first duty of officer is to for the SICK the
wounded and the dying. With such officers we shall
be invincible.

The Virginia papers by last mail give lengthy &C.
counts Of Lincon's Naval expedition. The general
order Of Gen. Sherman is published, giving in de-
tail the plan of its movements, method of landing,

to open Southern ports fer the expectation Of COT

We observe that Gen. Hill has called out the M

doubtless made in anticipation Of early attack,
but the assurance that the feet has passed our
coast will, We judge, induce him TO countermand
the orders. The occasion for such call ought to
