The British Register called this curious s. pro

adherents Of the British Crown but it was only Al,
exhibition Of the unselfsh patriotism If fhe ms1

Savannah was threatened then, as she IL now. 2
ahu nsr patriotic sons resolved that rather than she
sha shoua j. pc neld and occupied by the enemy, she
which existed at that day in our sister city of tie

there today. The spritsof 177s reappears IN the
breasts Of the men Of 1851 and sooner chan give
up their homes to the occupancy Of the yandais III
the North, they would see them reduced Ia ashes.
IN South Carolina we have already seen an az
nbition Of the same patrfotic spirit Cotton plarta-

the Cincinnati Times, q rabid Republican sheet,
writing from Laclede county, No.. tells these sig
nificant facts:

Ihe Unlonists merely profess loyalty they rarely
act it. They want troops from the free States 10

unpatriotie to wage for themselves. And mot only

GEN. MARsHALL's sApvANeE.--We learn from re.
liable authority that the progress Of General
Humphrey Marshall in Kentucky has been marked
everywhere e with glad welcomes and open arms.
As his little army Of two thousand men has I'D.
yanced 1t has gained recruits at every corner and
crossroad. Like rolling SNOWFALL, It gathers ia
strength and size as it goes, and has expanded
from its original proportion to thrice two thousand,
now numbering six thousand men, and still ncreas,
ing as he advances. This very clearly proves
the expediency which has, from the start, pointed
to g. forward movement in Kentucky. That the
people are with US, If they were given free, full
unrestraned expression ard action, we sincerely
believe. They could not be otherwise. Their in
terests and sympathies all turn Southward, and
their settled wish and resolve, we feel sure that d
large majority will vote against the mutual enemy
of them and us. They are now blinded by party
leaders and bound, hand and foot, by Lincoln
armies. But II Rreckinriage, and Marshall and
Buckner were allowed to push on in their own
way, as they wish to do, the whole State would be
reyolntionzed in less than sixty days. The race
from Wild Cat is one evidence Of the character Of
troops our advance would have to encounter and
if they ran at the rate described without any one
being after them, how fast would they run (by d
single rule Of three caculation) III combined force
poured the hot shot in on their heels? We an,
nounce the encouraging tidings from Gen Marshall
as fore:runner of what may be expected in the
future We by no means give UP Kentucky yet.

The PLANTERS OF EDIsTo.-A city paper some
days ago contained some very unjust reflections
upon the conduct of the planters Of Edisto Islaud
These patriotic gentlemen had themselves begun
the work Of destroying their crops, when, for milf
tary reasons, the confagration was, in conformity
with an order from Col. Black, fora time delayed
| Soon, however, all was ready, and the torch was
systematically and most efeotually applied to the,
several plantations, until now there ii absolutely
cotton left to gladden. the hearts OF the Yankee
