The truth is, it will require all our resources
and powers Of production to feed and clothe our
army aud people, cut off, as we arc, from all
other supplies The clothes we had, when the
war beg N, are now becoming exhausted, and it
remains fort women of the country to spin
and weave our future supply. l. is aheavy task
upon them; bnt like their grandmothers Of the
irstrevolution, they must prove themselves equal
to it, or we will be subjugated people, doomed
to a despotism more AFFECT than was ever forced
upon a conquered people.
Women Of the South! are you ready to per-
form your part Of the great and noble work pa
work which shall hand down your memory, in
song and poetry, to future ages as the faithful
Spartan matrons and maids OF this revolution.
Wemust now giyeup all Injuries and content
ourselves with plain food and raiment in order
that we may feed and clothe our noble defend
ers on the tented field Let work be inscribed
upon our banners and impressed upon our hearts,
and our hands show to the world that we are
not afraid 20 do our duty in this great contest for
national existence, national Independence and
national prosperity Phe most ardent perse-
verance is necessary to ensure success.

From Charleston.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Baltimore
Americans correspondence from Charles
ton Harbor, of the 18th, says the monitors
Montauk and Passaic had returned from
Port Royal fully repaired. The gunboat
Nypie had arrived. The bombardment of
Sumter goes on without unusual incident.
The rebel fire was not serious. The mont
tor Patapsco recently threw shells into
Battery Bee, compelling the rebels to desert
their guns for a time.
Gen. Gilmore recently threw three ordi-
nary shells into the centre of Charleston, to
try the range of his guns. The correspon-
dent presumes, however, that Charleston
will not be assaulted till the monitors are
in position to render aid, when its surren-
der can be demanded according to all the
forms and usages of war;
The rebels have, at last, set their negroes
TO working on batteries on Sullivan's and
James Islands, but many of them will be
found useless when the great test comes.
The correspondent concludes that the
prospect of really successful results were
never more promising than now, and Incl
dentally refers to an experiment recently
made so full of success, that the rebel Oh
structions no longer are to be feared-sta-
ting his firm conviction that we will have
