ITEMS

South Carolina has furnished 4, 900 Confederate troops, besides eight regiments of state reserves for coast service.
 - The fact that Henry Ward Beecher was mobbed, or about to be mobbed, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is significant. The mob spirit at the North is seldom confined to one locality and we would not be surprised to read of uprisings of the people in New York, Philadelphia and elsewhere. - The general commanding on tie Potomac is Robert F.. Lee. The commander at Vicks5urg, is Gen. S. D. Lee.
 - The state house at Baton Rouge was de stroved by the abolitionists on tue 28th of De- cenber.
 - The Alabama can fight with seven guns on side She has .. 100 pountter rifle gun; 6S pounder parrot gun and six g pounders.
 - Paris consumes, daily, the milk of 52, ,370 cows.
 - When the feleras came 10 Des Are, on White river, some ten days ago, they told the ne groes that they had orders arrest every one and carry them off, and if they did not want to go they had better leave town. The negroes, generally, took the hint and to the woods. The aboltionists appeared to be hungry and stole large quantities of meat. It was noticed they picked out the hams and best pieces in the smoke houses. They also stole and carried off all the good horses they could find. They had wagons and harness on their boats and 1t may have been their intention to try to come over by land but besides the troops that ready to dispute the way, the roads were impossible. Empty wagons cannot be carried from here to White river, at this of the year.
 - Fhc colored folks down the river are very much disgu5teI at the treatment received from the federals. They went in the egro cabins broke open the boxes and trunks of the daIkes and stole every thing valuable. And the haul they made was pretty good cne for, nowadays, the negro es' Sunday clothes and wardrobes generally are better than those of white folks. The fnery, jewelry and knck knacks of the 6 cued pussons'' were trans ferred to the Yankee boats, and the pilagers went away, leaving very unfavorabe impression on the minds of the black people
 - John. the negro servant of Gen Churchill, who was at the Post with his master, at the time of the storming of the fort, succeeded in escaping from the Post with the Generals horse, fine ani- mal upon which he swan the bayou. Unfortuately, after crossing, he was recaptured by the abolition iots, who stole the horse from him, but John suc- cecded in escaping from them and in reaching home.
 - In another column will be found an adyer- tiSement headed q Information Wanted" The little girl named therein was living with family at Napoleon, who left the approach of the fede- rals This child was sick in bel with her scanty supply of clothing packed n small carpet bag The rullan enemy took her clothing out, burnt or tore it up, and then stole the carpet bag of the little defenseless orphan. And this they call re- specting private prop rty.

Clippings and Comments.
exchange has the following:


 - cubic inch of gold is worth one hundred And fort y-six dollars; cubic foot, two hundred and fifty five thousand, two hundred and eighty eight doll ars, and cubic yard, six millions, eight hun dred and seventy-six dollars. The quantity of gold now in existence is estimated to be three thousand millions of dollars, which, welded in one mass, could be contained in a cube of twenty three feet.
 So it would take half the gold in the world to pay the debt of the Lincoln government.
 - singular feature of this war is the yoth- fitness of many of distinguished artillery off cers The gallant Pelham," as Gen Lee calls him, is an Alabaman, about 20 years old, Pegram, of the Purcell Battery, is hardly 2l Latimar, the Captain of the Letcher Artillery, is only IT; md Dearing, of Latham's old battery, is not above 22 or 9.
 To this may be added Major w. E Woodruff, of this city, who has deservedly acquired reputation as an artillery officer and who is somewhere in the twenties.
 "A RICH LErTER-The Grand Rapids (Mich ) Enquirer contains the following letter from friend in " straightened circumstances" ;" living in the far west, who is obligei to write for a living:
 'A At present 1 am leading editor of this d-d Abolition sheet, just by force of circumstances. The political editor is sick and in the country and the duty devolves upon me of supplying his place. l pen daily editorials full of the most pernicious docAines, and teach principles which if acted upon, would divorce the church of Rome from the bes. sed Virgin, to say nothing about bursting up' the Union. I state truths that don't believe word in, and denounce as a dangerous and damnabe bere.y the belief of our fathers, which my prophet ic soul tells me is right"
 This is only equaled by the grocery keeper whose drinking shop was shut up by authority, and who turned temperance lecturer to make living.
