The Charleston papers state that this
this most indispensable article is being
manufactured in considerable quantities
around that city, some twelve boiling es
Establishments being in operation in and neal
Charleston. The yield is, or soon will be-
about 10000 bushels per annum, which car
be increased to almost any amount. The
great source of expense is the fuel, but ex.
perience will no doubt soon suggest many
improvements in the mode of boiling.
AN ANNIvBRsARY.
Tomorrow, 18th instant, says the Rich
mond Dispatch, of July l8, is the first an.
niversary of the battle of Bull Bun, in
which the 1st Regiment from this city
gained it's first laurels. The Yankees, ii
will be remembered, attacked the confeder.
ates, and after several hours fighting, were
driven back to Centreville, with heavy loss
Monday next, 2lst, is the anniversary OF the
battle of Manassas.
CLOTHING MADE IN COLUMBUS.
The Columbus (Ga) San says that some
idea Of the amount of clothing manufacture
ed for the confederate army in that city.
may be derived from the fact that about
240 boxes, averaging three feet square and
estimated to make twelve or fourteen car
loads, have been packed there within few
days, for portion of Gen. Bragg's army.
A this clothing was made up in Columbus
and its vicinity, and a very large portion OF
the material was manufactured there.
CORN.
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 railroad, at 35 cents per bushel. The
crop is immense, and far enough advanced
to be considered safe. Our letters from all
parts of Georgia and Alabama, indeed, from
the entire Confederacy, represent the crop
as IN most flourishing condition, with the
promise of al immense YIELD"
FLOATING BATTERY AT SAVANNAH.
1t is now officially announced that the
iron-clad floating battery, Georgia, built by
the ladies of that State, is complete and
ready Tor action. The armament of the
Georgia consists of ten heavy guns. She
will be commanded by Lieutenant J. Penn
broke Jones, of Virginia.
DIED FROM GRIEF.
The Edge6eid Is. C.) Aavsrtissr annouces
the death of Mrs. Julia Butler, relict of the
late Colonel P. Nj Butler. She died from
grief at the death Of her youngest son, T..
j. Butler. who was killed in the battle of
Tuesday, the lst inst, near Richmond.
RICHMOND TO BE CAPTURED.
The Dispatch thus speaks of the deter.
miuation OF the north: we believe that
no matter at what expense of time, trea
sure and blood it is the determination of
the north to capture this city, and conquer
the south if it can. There is no hope but in
our strong hearts aod arms, save in that
benignant Providence which has so often
interpCsgd for our deliyerance, but which
only helps those who help themselves. Let
US not forget the lesson of Manassas. Every
moment now is more precious than gold.
CAPTURED ARMS.
From the Richmond Dispatch, July Is.
1t is feared, says the Dispatch, upon ex.
animation that comparatively few of the
muskets captured from the Yankees in the
battle below Richmond have sustained Sc
rous damage. The fact is, they did not
have time, on their famous retreat from the
ChickahomiDy, to make the destruction of
property complete, and hence we dnd, in
lot of twenty thousand that cannot be
speedily made as good as new. These arms
are generally of superior quality, including
many of recent invention, and European
manufacture.
TO CARRY THE WAR INTO AFRICA.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
The circular of Adj. Gen. Cooper, in re-
lation to the enrolment of conscripts, and
the arrest of persons absenting themselves
from the army, furnishes hopeful antici,
tion OF the future conduct of the war. By
following these instructions the ranks of
our armies will be speedily filled up and
placed upon footing sufficiently powerful
to overwhelm the hOrdes of the abolition
monarch. Without regard to the "three
hundred thousand" so piteously appealed
for by the governors of the +" loyal States"
If the enrolling officers are Jealous and ac-
tive, says the circular of Gen Cooper, we
shall make the enemy taste of the bitterness
of war; if negligent we shall continue to
witness its ravage on our own soil. The
significant intimation will inspire the peo.
pie OF the Confederacy with renewed ener-
gy.
