AN INo1DENT.-The following incident
from an artisle,in the Atlanta Register, on
the situation in. Rome and vicinity; is worth
recording:
a struggling Yankee armed with an Aus
trian rife, was seen to pass an old gentle.
mans house early one morning, cruising
his way towards Rome. The old man was
informed that the Yankee had just gone by,
and that he was all alone. He says that
either patriotism, or the devil, or some des.'
perate thing took possession of him, and be
vowed that no one Yankee. should go by
his house. He had neither gun, pistol nor
pocket knife, but mounting his horse start
ed in pursuit. Getting up pretty near be
halloed ssstop stranger-stop for the. Lords
sake let me have your gun for a few min.
utss-the dogs are just kiln my sheep
over the hill like blazes." The. old mans
earnest manner at once disarmed the Yam.
kes of all suspicion and of his rifle ut the
same time. Says the old man as he took it,
sis it loaded 2" eyes" 'sWill it shoot!"
eyes" Well, it's all right my friend
you are the dog / was looking; for'-'bout
face and he marched him nine nlileswith-
ont stopping, and delivered him to eour SOL
diers. This incident is literally and strict:

of paternal versus maternal night to-the Gus.

markable, no less ron its intrinsic, merits

Of lis King Charles and her silken French
pug, which had Uttered at her domioil.-
Claimant urged that the joint produce ough,
not to be monopolized by the single owner Of
one parent, and.called-on the tribunal to
adjpGge to him half the progeny. No small
display of official lore with reference to
Justinian's code, the Paudects, and the
Mosaic Law diversified the course of adVo.
cacy on either side, but defendants counsel
travelled ont of the record for an unexpected
precedent in the slave States Of America.

Charleston.

Z, Since our last issue, important movements
have occurred in the vicinity Of Charleston.
As already known, the enemy advanced on
Thursday, the 7th, on Johns Island, and
attacked our troops but were repulsed hand
somely after fight of three hours. They
SOON commenced entrenohiag, their object
eVidentlybeiug to eDflade our James Island
batteries. On@Saturdays at daylight they
wereattacked and driven from their position.
This intelligence reached us on Saturday
by private telegraph in our columns, for
which We express our Acknowledgements
From that time untiIlast night, aperiod Of
twenty.four hours, we were without intelli-
gence. Passengers by the train last night,
mention the gratifying intelligence that the
enemy had, been driven to their gunboats
and ba7ges, upon which they embarked un-
der our fire, which was believed to be quite
damaging. It is said on apparently good
authority that shot from Battery Pringle
entered one of the port holes Of the Mohawk,
and exploded as was supposed in the cabin.
Since the above was written, official In
telligence has been received, confirming the
embarkation Of tho enemy. They are still
shelling our works on James Island from
their monitors and gunboats id Steno.-
Things are otherwise quiet on that island.
The movements there evidently depended
upon the success of those on John's-Island,
andit is tosbe hoped that the enemy may,
therefore, be considered as again foiled in
their movements against Charleston. We
have lot heard of the casualties on Johns
Island. The troops on our side were prin'
cipaliy Georgians, who are said to have be-
haved with their usual gallantry.

rHE REsRRvEs.

6 Orders have been issued to Brigadier
General Chestnut to call out the State
Reseryessand place them at once in ac-
tive seryice-the order will probably be
sextended to day. This callis rendered
necessary fromthe attempts of the enc
my to get a foothold on John $, and
James Islands. where infantry is need
ed to protect our artillery. The order
is imperative, SO our people may aswell
prepare themselves to do their whole
duty with cheerfulness.
Where, now, is the Company that
was to be made up for home defence :?
There are men in Yorkville, we believe,
that could not be induced to take up
arms against the Yankees under any
consideration, and will bear watching.

ne The Charleston seo,irier proposes
as the successor of Mr.. Memminger, in
the department of Secretary of the
Treasury, George A. Trenholm, the
senior of the firm of John Frazer u Co.
We have no doubt that this nomination
viii be seconded. by the entire press Of
this State, and we can seeeno reason
why not by that of the entire Confsd-
,.eracy. Mr.. Trenholm has never been
a politician, in the strict sense of the
word, but an. able Representative, an ex-
perieneed Fmancier, and successful
merchant, and one who would carry
with him, atleast, the confidence Of the
people. Whether the voice of the press
viii be potent enough to be heard, Or
not, in high places, we expect it to speak
opf independently on this subject.
