THE NEW CONFEDERATE SECRETARY
OF THE TREASURY.

IRON ne montgomery ddreTtiser,
All who take an interest in the public welfare
of the country will hail with joy the announce
Incnt that the Hon. George A. Trenholm, of
Treasury Department. There is probably no man
in the Confederacy better qualified for this
responsible position than Mr.. Trenholm. He is
q resident, and, we believe 6 native of Charles
ton, South Carolina, and stands at the head of
the tinancieTs and successful merchants of that
proud old city. He is about ffty-6ye years Of
age, tall, straight, and slightly corpulent. The
contour of his face plainly bespeaks intelligence
ilrmuess, a strong character, and good heart.
. AS the senior partner OF the house of John
Fraser & Co., he has acquired that experience
IN monetary affairs that, we confidently believe,
will enable him to carryus safely through the
crisis, His firm has been and is engaged more
largely than any other in blOckade-running, and
by judiciOus selection Of the cargoes, importing
Only such stores as would be useful to the Gov
eminent, he has greatly aided us in carrying on
the war, and especially has he contributed no
little 70 the defense of Charleston. Aside from
the qualities Of the mind which he possesses,
those Of his heart are not less brilliant and
numerous.
Many, very many, are the poor widows and
orphans, houseess refugees and sick aud manned
soldiers, who bless and honor the name of George
Trenholm, as the friend in the hour of their
utmost need, and many more thank an unknown
benefaCtOr for some kind Office and remember
him in their prayers. His great wealth gives the
means, he seeks the opportunity. Although Mr..
Trenholm takes hold OF his department In a most
inauspicous moment, when its affairs are de-
cidedly "snRrling" yet we look for the happiest
results from this appointment. President Davis
and has Cabinet may congratulate themselves
that they have called 10 their councils man who
so admirably combines tho best traits Of head
and heart As does George A. Trenholm.

Upon these objects, which we've shortly aftor-

Donornis, for which he proposed the name

ter Of the eggs OF the Alpyornis is their enormous
size. The largest Of the two received at Paris
measured lengthWife no less than two feet and
ten inches, and brcadthwise two feet four inches
in circumference. its extreme length IN a
stIaight line was twelve inches.
Professor GeO9roi ST. Ililaire estimated that

as six Oetfich eggs. A large ostrich egg, we
may mention, measures only about six inches in
length, being little more than half that of the
Hpyornis. Quarterly JoHn. Of Science.

Mooredeld, west Virginia, over the Rebel forces
under Generals McCausldnd and Johnson, that
recently burned Chambersburg.
Ayerfll overlook them at Moorofold, attacked,
and utterly routed them, capturing between Eve
and six hundred prisoners, including General
Johnson (who subsequently escaped), aud his
whole staff with their headquarters c)lors. He
also took all the Rebel artillery, trains, and
coiors, and large quantity OF small arms
McCausland himself barely escaped by flying
into the mountains.
Averill pursued the scattered remnant Of the
Rebel force for twenty five miles capturing many
Of the fugitives
His entire loss in killed is seven men. SO the
Chambersburg raiders have thus early" come
to grief. The pursuit was only abandoned when
AveTl's horses were too exhausted to follow the
enemy further into the mountains.

in the Old World have, as everybody knows,

France, and thence away to the shores of the

The steam ram which passed the Isle of Wight
on the 26tb of July was, in all likelihood, Bebel

ton which set out from Pensacola on the Dist, on

by this force reported the return Of General
Rousseau's expedition to join Sherman
Upon leaving Fort Barrancas on the 2lst inst,
and after marching some thirty miles, we at
tackled force Of the enemy at dybreak, at
Camp Gonzales, on the Pensacola Railroad, lf-
teen miles above Pensacola. There were three
companies of the 7th Alabama Cavalry, In com
maDd OF Colonel Hodson, OF over l20 men each.
They had completed new fort, which they de-
fended most vigorously; but which submitted TO
the dash of our men after half an hours hard
lighting. They left their regimental flag, large
quantity Of stores, ammuni ion, horses, cattle,
ETC., and eight prisoners, among whom was q
Lieutenant.
