Editors Courier As various inquiries
have been made in reference to the Legion
which the President has honored me with a
commission to raise, I beg you to allow me
to give through your paper such informa-
ton as may be necessary to those who wish
to enlist in this corps.
The object of those who are engaged in
this matter is to raise an independent le-
sion. to consist of six companies of Infant
~, or Voltigeurs, four Of Cavalry, and one
of Flying Artillery. The Field Officers to
be appointed by the President, and each
company to elect its own officers, who will
then receive commissions from the Presi-
dent.
AS soon as the organization of this corps
is complete, it will be received into the
Provisional Army of the Confederate States
for one year, unless its services should not
be required for so long time, in which
case the President can disband it. The
Legion is to serve wherever it may be or
dered BY the President, and is to be on pre-
cisely the same footing, except as to its Pc
culiar organization, as the rest of the Pro.
visional Army. The cavalry will furnish
their own horses, and, as far as possible,
their own arms and equipments. Each
man must have a sabre and two of Colts
pistols. Should any horses be lost in the
service they will be paid for.
The Infantry wish armed with Enfield
Rifles, and the Governor has kindly prom
ised to furnish them as far as he is able to
do so, and he will also provide the battery.
As soon as the companies report themselves
ready for duty, they will be ordered into
camp, for the purpose of drilling together.
1t is very desirable to have this corps ready
at an early day, as I have every reason
to hope that it will at once be ordered into
active service. I annex tabular statement,
giving the complete organization Of the lc-
gion, and one showing the rate of pay. Any
one desiring further information 90 this
subject can apply to Lieut.. Col. B. j. John
son, Charleston, or to myself, at Columbia

Extract of a letter from Virginia.

RICHMOND, May ?, lS6l.-So far as we
know, matters are quiet here. We see
that Gen. Lee will make no move without
thorough organization, numbers, means and
discipline. As I wrote you night before
last, I fear We will not move until after the
United States Congress meets 18th July.)
Some of the leaders think there will be no
fight. But these are Union submissonists
we are inclined to think there will be a
terrible fght-that the North will have
numbers and wealth, but that the courage,
spirit and military science Of the South will
defeat the Black Braggarts, ingloriously.-
If their numbers do not exceed ours more
than two to one, We have no doubt as to the
result: or even greater odds-we are will
ling to stand the fortunes of war and don't
like to return, without taking the chances
of the victory we anticipate.
The Black Republicans are fixing for a
defeat, and although their numbers are for
midable and not to be despised, yet there is
the faith that we shall overcome them when
the occasion occurs. Every man feels that
if we do SO, that substantially ends the war.
If we fail they may 80 further, and looking
at it, practically, each individual, (though
there must be great slaughter,l under

the issue at the frontier, than with an i'm

UNrRUE.-The New York papers Of the
22d ult. state that the photographic plates,
on which we're to be printed the letters of
marquc for the Confederate States, have
been seized and taken away from the litho-
grapher. This would be unfortunate if
true, which it is not. No law has yet been
passed authorizing letters of marque to be
issued, and not only has no order for their
lithographing been sent to New York, but
the form of those letters has not yet been
decided on by the Government. The New
York journals, however, came as near the
truth as they do generally when speaking
of the South.-lNontgomery A'7rertiser.

Postal Receipts and Expendi
tuuPllS.

The auditor of the Post Office Department
has Just submitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury the quarterly statement Of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Post Office
Department, required by law, for the first
quarter Of the year 1861. The receipts
amount to 81, 2,l96,5S7 the expenditures to
$2,999,759. Excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts, $S03,l71. For the fourth quarter of
1860 the receipts amounted to $2,146,301,
and the expenditures to $4,os7,52 Excess
of expenditures over receipts, 1,941 ,223.-
Thus, it will be seen that the receipts for the
first quarter of 1861 exceed those of the
fourth quarter of 1860 in the sum of $780,
2s6; whereas, the expenditures have been de-
creased in the sum of 81 ,O87,766.
1t is little remarkable that the receipts of
the past qualte are larger with twelve States
seeded, than they were when the postal sys-
tenn extended over the entire Union. 1t was
found on looking over the account current for
the year 1860, that the cost of the service in
the rebel States amounted to $3,926, ,806,
while the proceeds were only $3.50, 1878, max
ing loss of $3,096,12s.
The people Of the loyal States will have the
satisfaction of knowing that while the war
lasts, at least, they are saved tax of three
millions of dollars, expended heretofore in
carrying letters and newspapers for sour
Southern brethren" while they were plotting
treason against the Union. This three mill
ions will pay the interest on fifty millions of
six per cent National bonds, issued to help
the Government in putting down this REBEL

How the Bermuda Run the
B1OckAde

The New York Tribune gives an account
of the manner in which the steamer Bermu
da, with its cargo Of arms, &C., succeeded in
entering Savannah. Its informant was
gentleman recently arrived from that city via
Louisville. We quote:
He assures us that Mr.. Edward G. Ander-
son, an Ex Mayor of Savannah, went over to
England in Lord Ducie's yacht America,
which was, if our memory serves us, in the
port of Charleston some time in June-for
the express purpose of buying arms. The
Bermuda was sent out by Mr.. Anderson, and
brought $500 Enfield rifles purchased by
him. This we understand from our inform
ant, is only one instalment of Mr.. Ander-
sons purchases, as three to five more steam
ers are confidently looked for at Savannah, all
to bring arms. The Bermuda gets, of course,
a high freight on these arms, but her profit
will be much larger on return cargo of cot
ton, should she be as fortunate in getting out
as she was in getting in; and the double
chance of good voyage both ways is induce
ment enough for all these steamers to run the
risk of capture. The Bermuda, it seems,
was expected, and may, possibly, have been
signaled somewhere on the coast. At any
rate, at the precise moment to suit her con-
venience heavy cannonading was opened at
distant post by the rebels, and the blockad-
ing squadron FASTENED thither to ascertain its
cause When out of sight, the Bermuda

DAVENPORT, Oct. II, 1861.

DANENrONi WI. Il, ASoA'
DEAR JOURNAL: Here we are at last, the
members of Capt Ben. Beach's company,
snugly cnsconced in comfortable quarters at
Camp Mcclellan. We are not disappointed
as to the position of our camp; its location
is beautiful and healthful, but at present
thoroughly "muddled" from recent rains,
which causes us some inconvenience in 'navi-
eating" however, think one or two days of
this beautiful sunshine will dry things up
We arrived at Davenport at o'clock Thurs
day evening, where our friend and fellow SOL
der, Capt. Charles f. Compton, was waiting
to receive US but owing to the inclemency OF
the weather, we were directed to the Railroad
depot which was furnished us for temporary
quarters While supper was being prepared
for us at the Le Claire House, we amused our
selves in sundry ways, singing and dancing
being the chief amusement. At the hour OF
9, the company was formed and marched
down town, where we engaged in supplying
the wants of the inner man. Supper over,
songs were sung by the "Sardine Club" the
performance closing with Charles Fowler s
inimitable woman's rights speech, which was
loudly applauded by the curious spectators
We then sought our quarters, in hopes o1
finding repose in the arms of Old Morpheus
but alas we were doomed to disappoint
ment. 1t was new "thing" to the boys
ana they seemed anxious to make night hid
eous, in which they succeeded, much to the
ANNOYANCE of friend Dick Cadle, who seemed
inclined to rest Morning came, and with il
we arose, not at all refreshed but immedi
ately preparing, we marched to camp, where
the boys of Capt Compton's company treated
us to collection of "hard crackers" whe1
came congratulations-sold congratula
tions-which there is no discount on.
The boys are all well pleased with their ex
perience so far, but think it a little strang
that they are not allowed to 60 to the cit,
| whenever they choose. "Sparks" says h
thinks he will have to be drummed out of tn
service, and wished me to multiply 365 by 3
which wish l complied with in order to pleas
his whimsical fancy.
The uniforms and Gquipments for the LII
regiment have not yet arrived, but are ex
pccted up next Monday, On the Kate Cassel
Capt Hiilhouse having received orders from
head quarters to bring them.

Krantz return to Muscatine to-day on fiv
days furlough.

MuscAT1NE.-A A flying visit to Muscatine,
which we the ''local," reached the other day
on the good steamer Pomeroy, showed US that
city is by no means dead vet, notwithstanding
the heavy blow it has received in the loss Of
the river trade, caused by the blockade =
while it is all alive with patriotism. A few
buildings have been erected even in this sea-
son of general depression, and business gen
orally seems to be, if not reviving, at least
getting no worse Recruiting is going on
very rapidly. Two companies are being
formed. One of them, Captain Beach's, will
be here this week. Lieutenant Purcell, who
was supposed to be mortaliy wounded at the
battle of Wilson's Greek, is to command the
other. Muscatine has done right nobIy in
furnishing recruits-more than her proper
ton Of the good work. And she doesn't
seem to be through yet, especially since the
appointment of Col. Hare, who is generally
and deservcdly popular, and under whom,
sooner than any one else, would Muscatine
men serve. There are two other recruiting
officers thcrc-one for the 7th regiment, the
other for the new German regiment. The
members of the returned First regiment may
be frequently met with in town, though most
of these will soon have re-enlisted. The
wounded of the campaign, too, are frequently
to be found; and sorrowfully commingled
with the crowd, may be seen the tokens Of
for the brave and thelost Of Spring
field
Muscatine hotels are good. The Ogilvie
House, George Low, proprietor, is one Of the
best institutions of the place. and its table is
always well supplied with the good things of
the season. The newspapers have all "pe.
tered out" except the Journal, which seems
to flourish in spite Of the times, having lately
removed to new and commodious rooms. We
missed the good -humored phiz Of the local of
the Journal, recently back from the wars, but
presume he was attending to the public veal
somewhere.
Politics were on the tapis, preparing for the
election. Both parties seemed to be good
deal divided; but there was no mongrel third
ticket there for county officers. Judge
