After Drsnesville there was nothing but . suo

arms have been again victorious, almost with

without drawing any general principle from
these facts, It may be well for us 70 inquire
whether the natives Of the South are not better

authorities will make glad the hearts Of the

BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
To morrow (l8th iustant) is the first snniver.
sary Of the battle Of Bull Run, In which The
First regiment, from this city, gained its first
laurels. The Yankees, It will be remembered,
attacked the Copiederates, and after several
hours fighting were driven back to Centreville
With heavy loss. Monday next (2lst) 10 the
anniversary Of the battle Of Manassas.
SALT.
The Charleston papers state that this most
indispensable article II being manufactured 10
considerable quantities around that city, some
twelve boiling establishments being in opera
tion Ia and near Charleston. The yield is, or
soon will be, about thirty thousand 30,000)
almost any amount The great source Of ex-
pense is the fuel, but experience will, no doubt,
soon euggest many improvements In the mode
Of boiling.
CLOTHING MADE IN COLUMBUS.
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says, that some
idea Of the amount Of clothing manufactured
for the Confederate army In this city may be
derived from the fact that about $40 boxes,
averaging three feet square, and estimated to
make twelve or fourteen car loads, have been
packed there within few days past for Dor
tion Of Gen. Bragg's army. Ali this clothing
wss made up in Columbus and Ito vicinity, and
. very large portion Of the material was man
ufactured there. .'
The Savannah Republican says: We saw .
private letter yesterday which states that the
planters Of Florida are contracting to deliver
corn, Of the growing crop, on the Florida rail-.
road, at thirty five cents per bushel. The crop
10 immense, and far enough advanced to be
considered safe. Our letters from all parts Of
Georgia and Alabama, indeed from the entire
Oonfederacy, represent the crop a. In most
fiourishins. condition, with the promise Of an
immense yield.
DETERMINATION OF NcLEILAN.
From the Richnoad Dispatch, July IL.
We believe that, no matter at what "expense
Of the, treasure, and blood" 1t 10 the determi.
nation Of the North to capture this city, and
conquer the South, II It can. There Is no hope
but 10 our own strong hearts and arms, save In
that benignant Providence which has 60 often
lnterpossd for our delivsrance, but which only
helps those who help themselves Let US not
forget the lesson Of Manassas. Every moment
