posted with Major Turner a sum sufficient 10 por-
chase negro recruit forabe regiment now in pro-
cess of formation. with the understanding, or ex-
pectaton at least, tlat nineteen other no less pa.
triotic persons will do likewise. Here's clrance,
now, for men of means to do something. The idea
is that a number of negroes willing and anxious to
volunteer for the protection of their native land
from Yankee desoation, are owned by widows and
orphans, who feel that they cannot part with them
without some compensation. The object of the
scheme we have mentioned is to render all such
ne groes available for the service. Come We who
have plenty Of Confederate notes. respond prompt
ly to this patriotic challenge. There is no time for
dilly -dallying. Enrol your names at once among
the original twenty who are topurchase and tender

THE NEWS.
FROM THE souTH SIDE

The Petersburg Express of Wednesday says that
the reports Of Sighting on the right Tuesday were
without foundation. Tie quiet which has been OBJ
servabs for the last few weeks is still unbroken
and nothing has apparently occurred to lead to the
expectation of Immediate hostilities. fsa
We understand that but little, if any, damage was
done to the Avery house in the Smelling of Monday
afternoon. The Yankees have erected appointment
observatory on this building just inside their lines,
and but one mile in front Of our works. When our
batteries opened upon it there was some tall ske-
daddJing from the house, the parties running from
the doors and jumping from the windows.
The Express ofyesterday says that the lines Wed.
nesday presented scene Of unbroken quiet, as far
as hostilitiss were concerned Scarcely the report
of cannon or a musket was heard. Picket firing
seemed to have ceased on the greater PARTON of
the lines during the day and the men on either side
can be seen upon their works. 7.1 7, q
Our soldiers have recently been addressed by.
enspent speakers on the subject Of the war, and
scarcely day passes but some brigade is address

"Gen. Blair's CORPS first entered the town. He
made his headquarters In the residence of one of
our wealthiest citizens, and appropriated the best
he could find in 1t. When appealed to by the lady
of the house to interfere with the plunderIng ofthe
common soldiers, who, in the basement, we're
breaking trunks, &c., he repaired to the scene, but
only to share In the spoil. Sherman himself came
into Cheraw on the second day. He was not at
Society Hill, as reported, nor was any portion Of
his infantry or artillery marched In that direction

way, and on to Florence, whence they were re-

.'The condition Of the people Of Cheraw must be
most deplorable. The population OF the town be-
ing 1900, is composed in large part OF refugee
families. Before our own army re ached the neigh
bOrhood 1T was extremely difficult to- get fire wood,
aud almost impossible to buy corn or meat. In or
binary times, the wants OF the town in these par
teulars, are largely supplied from North Carolina.
The destruction OF the bridges on the Pee Dec and
Thompson's Greek has almost isolated the town.
Even ii the adjoining country had ashpPy, IL would
be almost impossible, owing to these obstrue tons,
and their deprivation Of all means Of transporta-
on for themselves, to procure it. The whole Of the
adjacent country has, doubtless, been rayaeed by
the foe, and not only Abe means OF present subss-
telce taken away, but all power to create future
UT ans destroyed. l
ADMIRAL BUCHANAN.
The Salisbury Wdtchman says That Admiral
Buchanan passed through that town on Saturday.
He is enjoying general good health. He has not,
recovered the use Of his leg In which he received
painful wound at the time of bis capture; but IL
has greatly improved since his return from captiv-
ity. The Admiral is in fine spiritS and says we
uoiH and mast succeed that he has never doubted
our success from the beginning that the army is
as strong and confident ever, and that the prnci-
pal dependency is among the people outside Of the
army 20 u -
He spoke of several amusing incidents connect
ed with his late captivity, all going to show the
total want of principle and vllanous character of
the people against whom we fight. 90
