TIE EXPECTED ATTACK oS CnARLESToH.--
Tie New York Commercial Adcnfi$cr has
the following in regar,l to tue probability Of
naval attack upon our city:
1t is stated that the city Of Charleston has
been practically evacuated by its inhabitants !;
many Of lis citizens having taken up their
quarters beyond the city limits. Snch q.
course ia certainly prudent, il the reports of
the danger in which that nursery Of treason
is llaced, by recent movements Of our gun.
Loats are correct Commodore Wilkes was,
soon after the evacuation Of the Peninsula,
placed in command Of special iloliia, aud
ordered for secret service. Since Tie war has
Lecn transferred TO Maryland, aud the P"to-
mac hotilla WAS relieved from duty on the
lower par! of the river. a number ut vessels
among them an iron-clad-havc left 10 join
Commodore Wilkes 1t Is now reported that
several iron clads have appeared off Char
lesion harbor. This is perhaps not minutcly
correct, however, as the Monitor. Galrna and
Ironsides are all of this class of boats that
we have atloat. 1t is by no means impruba
ble that Charleston may be attacked by a
naval farce alone, though it may indeed be
assumed that we have no land force to spare
fur cooperation with the vessels. In that
event the commander Of the holilla wonld
probably hold cut the alternative of ,urreE.
der or bombartlnrnt. The anticipation Of
this has probably n'iu2cd The inhabitants to
evacuu,e their city.

From the Suuth Caroliniun.

NEAR WINCHESTER. Va, October s, 1862.
Mr.. EDlToR: Will you allow me small
space in your valuable paper to say few
words i'll regard to the couditio7 Of our South
Carolina troops now in Virginia. On the
10th Of August, they started from Richmond
On their long ani tedious march for the val
ley. Since they started on this campaign
they have marched hundreds OF miles, and
iought and heIPsI .s;n battle after battle,
and now they are nearly naked, having lost
and worn out what lAtle clothing and blank
cts they had. have seen many South
csrolihian going about without the sign Of
shoe, or coat, or blanket; and I ask you.
Mr. Editor, can nothing be dole for them 2
Other States are making preparations to pro-
vide for the comfor, of their troops; and
shall South Carolina be behind them all I
hope not. 1t has been said that the South
Carolina troops are the worst clad troops in
the field, and | am sorry to say believe it is
50. Can we not remedy this evil? know
that the societies of our State that aided the
soldiers last winter are not hble to do it uow.
But, cannot tie State Government make
sume arrangement by which it can distribute
the large store. house full Of clothing, and
blankets, and overcoats, that they have in
Columbia to the soldiers, before the col sin.
ter comes upon thcm2 Ard, if they cannot
trust the soldiers until they are paid, (which
has not been in most of the regiments for six
months, can they not look to the Confederate
Guvcrnlpent for their pay? | hope that the
Ex, ,cutiye Council will take this matter in
hand and do something for them. Were it
left TO Gov. Pickens, ! know it would be at
tended to. Mr.. Editor, could write much
more and tell of the hardships our troops
have to undergo for the want Of clothing, but
au no writer and will stop, hoping that
some good may be done by what have said.

VOLUME XXVII.---Ne. ~
Result of the Conflict in Maryland.


AS the facts are made public at the North
concerning the late operations in Marylsnd,
it becomes so apparent that the advantage
was with tie Confederate army, TIM, even the
abolition journals are bound to admit the
fact. We ind the following in the Washing
ton correspondence Of the New York Times:
The recent conflict in Maryland is the en-.
crossing topic of conversation here. As Il
becomes clear that the rebel army has made
good its escape, the tendency Of public opin-
ion is to deprecate the advantages secured by
our triumph at Sharpsburg. While every
credit is given to our gallant soldiers for their
admirable fighting in the field, yet the loss
Of Harper's Ferry is beginning to be felt as q
disastrous as well as humiliating defeat. The
balance of advantage in the late expedition
evidently rests With the enemy, as they car.
iied of ali the pluader captured, including
over 10000 stand Of arms, and over so pieces
Of artillery.
These losses added to those sustained in
the Peninsula and by General Pope's army,
must make an aggregate Of considerably over
fifty thousand stand Of arms, one hundred
pieces of artillery recently lost in Our opera
tions in the east sufficient to thoroughly
equip an army half as large as that now re-
treating into Virginia. 1t is known that our
losses Of ordinance ut Harper's Ferry was
also very large, and that they We're no, des-
troyed previous to the surrender.
These facts give point 10 recent remark
of Gen. Ripley, Chief of Ordinance, who is
said TO have Suited that he ought 10 be the
aLlest ordnance officer in the world, as he
was required to furnish arms enough to sup
ply the enemy's army as well as our OVID.

Never more on lite'S rough main.

When despair's dark Lillows roar
Time will dreg, oh slow and weary,
When we hear thy voice no more.
Other friends with thee will wander
Der the futures misty way;
We shall hear thy voice no longer,
Cheering US the weary day;
o! we come, but stop and ponder
How life's sweetest joys decay.
Yes, we've said farewell forever,
We shall long for thee in vain:
'Tis too true that we must sever,
Ne'er on earth to meet again:
Dreary echo whispers-nerer,

THE CAUSE CT OUR REvERsEs.-We are Ap-
formed by very intelligent gentleman that
the bridge across Cypress Creek, about ten
miles from Corinth, was burnt by the enemy,
and that our forces were not aware Of its de.
strucion until they arrived at tho creek on
their retreat. They were then forced to run
down the creek aud eros, on, q mill dam
where the enemy had taken q commanding
position. The slatsghter of our troops at this
point is said to have been terrible. The ens-
NV pushed no farther than this mill. II
would appear from the statement that tho
retreat by the bridge was not properly guard.

The other oversight is said to be tie neg.
lect to destroy the railroad leading from Co.
r;n,b to Columbus an Cairo, which enabled
the enemy to run in reinforcements unmoies-
tod during the entire night previous to our

The Factories.

Some Of our factories ar" setting good
example 10 other establishments. The Au.
gusta Chronicle says:
We learn that the Augusta and Granite
Vile factories have consented TO sell to the
Soldiers Relief Societies .hcir cl III at the
same prices they sell to the government. Thus
all reason for complaint in this respect against
the factories has ceased, and if those who are
amply able will be liberal in their contribu-
tions, crest obstacle in the way of providing
clothing for the soldiers will be removed.
The factories above mentioned have set no.
bic example, which we hope to see followed
by other establishments.
The Columbus Sun says:
We understand that the proprietors of the
Eagle Factory, in this city, have decided to
sell their fabrics at retail to consumers only,
instead Of paliing them up at auction in large
quantities fer the benefit of SPECTATORS. The
change is good ole, and is highly commenda'
bic for its patriotism. Let other factories in
other portions OF the State adopt the same
course, and speculators will have to change
their base Of operations" somewhat.

Minors in the Army.

In a haJeas corpus case before Sudge Ma
srath, of the Confederate Court at Charleston
the following points were ruled on appeal;
!. That the rule Of the Common law, con-
cerning the disability Of the minor to bind
himself by contract, and by it suspend the
exercise Of parental authority, does not op-
crate where such minor makes an agreement
for military service Snch contract, though
made by minor, and without the consent Of
his parent, is sustained upon considerations Of
public policy, unless expressly prohibited by
the Municipal law.
,. In tie Confederate States there is no
such prohibition in any Of the laws passed
for the regulation or organization oimilitary
service. Nor are the laws Of the United
States in which such u prohibition is found,
of force in the Confederate States, by virtue
Of the act of the Provisional Congress, No.
), to continue in force certain laws of the

the person shall be inspected by surgeon,

3. The act of the Congress Of the Conltle-
rate States, ch. 81, (April lG. 1922 while
it makes the performance Of military service
compulsory on all between the ages of lS
and 35 years, at the same time recognizes the
existence Of engagements for military service
by those undcr Is years of age nor does it
make void such engag, ments.
i. Although the father may not give is
assent to the engagement of a minor child
for military service, Yet if that minor, with
the knowledge Of the parent, continues for
five months in the service, and during that
time receives the beuuty, pay, rutions and
clothing, it will be evidence Of acquiescence
sufficient to make valid the contract of the
minor, and, therefore, sufficient evidence of
acquiescence to make valid the cnga encnt of
