against them is the work Of Northern fanaticism
and was conceived and is now prosecuted for the

In the House on the same day, the proceedings
were undressing to the general reader. Messrs.
Conrad of La, and Miles OF S. G., criticised some

ed to indicate that the Provisional Congress had not
been prompt IN affording him the necessary aid in
naval and military affairs The President it was re-
Piled designed no such ntimatiun

branch, on Thursday, was bill before the House
providing for the appointment of a Commanding

BRAVE WoMEN.-A correspondent
at Elk Horn, writing to the ,Yeaatinll,
relates the following incident as occur
ing at q recent war meeting:
But the scenes Of that day were not
all comic. In an adjoining town, a
young. noble boy, the eldest born, step
ped out Of the crowd about the speak
er's stand, and, walking little way off,
to where his mother sat, said 'sMoth-
er, may I enlist? can You spare me 20
on must do what you think is
right" said that mother, with all Of
mothers love and agony in her eyes
IL her voice.
One word from her would have kept
him. He hastened from her side,
moment more and he was in the service.
His mother rose from her seat, made s.
few steps towards him as be returned,
and tainted. His sisters, weeping ST.
Iently, stood by his side, as he supper
ted his mothers inanimate form.
| cannot conceive more pathetic
tableau. This is only an incident of
hundreds that occw, where brave
women sacrifice brave men 70 their
country-Where patriotism stands be-
fore every other sentiment. No one
need ask, after such an exhibition if
We have any longer 4 country. While
such men and such women people
america, the Union will be preserved
the Stars and Stripes upheld.

There are abou. four hundred men in. the fort; they fire on the men at work on our battery on the Island every day, more or less. On Saturday, the day the sG had to work there they fired over sixty shot and shell, two of our men were wounded. They had quite fight with musketry few days ago, the 9th drove the rebels iato the Fort and follow cd them within one quarter of . mile of it, we saw the skirmish quite plainly from here. Our company is very popular in Beaufort; if this place has to be guarded through the summer, the citizens will bevery anxious that it be by Con necticut troops. s.8e,sgg, s.N.s. ss. {, <. X
