A Great Mistake,

1t is q great mistake for men who are
not in the army, to suppose that thir OBJ
legations to aid in establishing our inde-
pendence are less imperative than those
of our soldiers whose sphere of duties EN-
brace the camp and battle field. Indeed,
ifthere be any difference, real or imagin-
airy, the duties pertaining to men at home
(says the Selma Reporter) are more seri-
Gus and weighty than those belonging to
the soldier. This point, however, need
not be argued. What we wish to impress
upon the mind Of every man at home, is
that his sphere Of usefulness is not con-
tracted by reason of his being out OF the
army; on the contrary, he may do just
as much to sustain the Government as if
he had a musket upon his shoulder
The people Of the South are passing
through fearful ordeal, and under the
deprivations entailed upon them by the
blockade OF their ports, tney heeu buo'
stantial aid from each other, as well as
the generous sympathies that should
characterize crisis like this. Now, if
these premises be correct, it is impossible
that any patriot would accept this as a
suitable time for making money by spec
ulating upon the necessities Of our suffer.
ing people. We speak in kindness, for
we are quite sure that the want Of rehec-
ton has been the fruitful cause Of much
of the speculating mania that has afflicted
the country. Men who desire to be es-
teemed as honorable, have been incau-
tiously carried away upon the current,
who, if they had waited to reflect, would
have been slow to incur the infamy that
will forever attach to those who employ
this dark hour in making haste to grow
rich.

French Mediation.

The New York papers give conflicting
accounts of the probability of French in
reference. Their Paris correspondents
say the Emperor Napoleon has determined
to act by himself, if England persists in
refusing; while a Washington correspon-
dent, avowedly, on the authority of Sew
ards department, declares there is no
purpose of mediation thought of by any
foreign power. The Herald, notvithstan-
ding this Washington authority, argues
through column TO prove that France
and England are both bitterly hostile to
the Union, and will unite in interfering
very soon; and it calls upon the Lincoln
Government to makepreparations at once
to meet the coming difficulty. 1t con-
cludes, that Notwithstanding al comb.
nations, the Yankees will triumph, and
then in conjunction with their great
friend and ally, the Emperor Of Russia,
they will dictate their pleasure to the
whole world

Attack on Genesls Point.

The attack Of the enemy's feet on
Fort McAllister, near the mouth of the
Great 0geechee, was all the sensation in
our city yesterday. About breakfast hour
the booming Of heavy guns came up
from a Southern direction. The wind
was due South and the reports were heard
so distinctly that one unacquainted with
the coast would have located the scene
Of action not more than three or four
miles distant About ten o'clock a cou-
rier arrived from this side of the river,
confirming the general impression that
the enemy were attacking our battery at
Genesis Point, on the Great 0geechee.- -
BY special train, which left with REIN
forcements for the garrison and river
banks, we dispatched reporter to Ways
Station, on the Gulf Road, the nearest
point to the battery and with communi-
cation by couriers. The particulars Of
the fight, so far as they had reached the
Station, will be found in the dispatches
under the appropriate head.
1t appears that the enemy, wearied
with long gazing in the mouths of our
guns and chagrined by former repulses,
concluded to make grand dash at the
works with 2 fleet Of seven vessels, two
of them iron-clads For 1--WE hours and
a half theg poured tosrant of-HoA upon
our intrepid garrison, but all TO no pur-
pose Finding themselves again thwart.
ed in their plot against the railroad
bridges and rich plantations on the river,
they retired in disgust. Not man, it is
said, was hurt on our side, though the
shot and shell fell thick around them
and did some damage to the breastworks.
The fort is garrisoned by the Republican
Blues Capt. Geo. W. Anderson, and the
Emmett Rifles, Capt Geo. A. Nicoll-all
under the command of our townsman,
Capt. Jno. B. Galiie, who, by the way, is
an excellent artillerist and brave enough
for any emergency. A battalion Of sharp
shooters, Col. r. II. Anderson, have been
ordered to support the battery in case OF
necessity. Cur men, we learn, acted
with perfect GOODNESS throughout the ac-
ton, and, as our reporter represents, re-
garded the affair as rather frolic than
otherwise. All honor to them and their
gallant commander They have proved
that the day of yielding up works on
Georgia soil to Yankee gunboats has
passed.
1t is thought that the attack may be
renewed early this morning. We doubt
it. At all events we have a correspond
ent on the spot who will report things as
they occur.-Sdv. Rep. Jan. %.

Telegraphic Items.


RIcnuoND Jan. 29.-The New York
Herald of the Doth says, Yankee gun
boat is reported to have been sunk by a
Confederate battery off Port Hudson.
Curtis telegraphs Halleck that three
Federal gunboats assembled White rlyer'
as high as DuvaPs Bluff and Desatre, cap
turing $50 prisoners, two Columbiads'
200 small arms.
General Wool having ordered all the
New York militia to report to him, Gen.
Hall, the commandant Of the State
forces, entered q vigorous protest. There
was great excitement created by the ev-
ident design of the administration to
take the militia under It's control.
A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune says, France demonstrated with
England about fitting out the Alabama.
Skirmishing reported in front of Cor

CHARLESTON, Jan. 29.-The steam pro-
peller Princess Royal, Capt. Lawson,
from Glasgow, via London, where she
took in cargo, also, via Halifax, St.
Johns and Bermuda, having left the lat
ter port on Friday the 23d instant, was
captured at an early hour this morning
off this port, by the Yankee blockaders.
She was suddenly surrounded by num-
Der of the fleet before daylight, and the
officers had to run her on the beach on
Long Island as the best possible measure
left to them. During yesterday light
draft steamer got tow line to her and
succeeded in getting her of before high
water. Capt. Thomas Craig the Charles
ton pilot, NJ. Western, u passenger, OF
Georgetown, S. c.. and two other persons
escaped from her in boat and reached
the city last evening.
Valuable dispatches, which were on

have been saved and brought to the city.
The Princess Royal had on cargo Of
great value to us, consisting of machin-
