READY-M CLOTHING.

i pie Of Columbia, who may be in want
of SOMETHING TO WEAR, {" are respect
fully and earnestly invited by the ladies OF
examine the articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
found ready to exhibit the ready made gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nish constant employment to those who,
having been impoverished by the war, nor;
depend on the needle for daily bread.
Does not such an object commend itself to
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
oW.peopte prefer Northern-madeg garments,
and that there is, therefore, no more work
for them? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in
the capital of South Carolina? Jan 10

The SIdster-Rolls of the confederat,


The New York Tribune publishes
an abstraLy, from documents which
fell into the hands of the United
States at the downfall of the Con-
federacy, of the returns. of all the
Confederate armies, from their Or
ganization in the summer of 1861
down to the spring of 1865. It ap-
pears from these documents that the
number of Confederate troops of the
East and the West was throughout
nearly equal, and that, with the ex-
oeption of September, 1868, when
Longstreet, with his corps, was sent
from Virginia to Tennessee, no con-
siderable body of soldiers was ever
transferred from one army to the
other. The greatest number on the
confederate muster-rolls at any one
time was $50, 900, and this was when
every male from seventeen to fifty
was enrolled in the army. The
greatest number present for duty at
any one time in the whole Confed-
eracy, and that for only O brief
period, was 100000. There were
not three periods of a month when
they had 250,000. AT only three
periods did the Army of Northern
Virginia, under Lee, number 1OC,-
900 men fitfor duty.
In October, 1861, when Mcclellan
confronted Johnston at Manassas,
the actual force of Johnston was less
than 10000, and in December, only
54,O0O:s When, in April, 1862, Nc
Clellan landed on the Peninsula,
Magruder had 15, 900 men; and when
Mcclellan assailed Yorktown, the
Confederates had on the whole Pc
ninsula less than 10000 When he
reached the Chickahominy, the Con-
federates had at Richmond but At
600, increasad at the close of May
to about 10000 electives. On the |
26th of June, when Lee began his
movement against Mcclellan, the
Confederates numbered little more
than 100000 effective men. When,
after the battle of Gettysburg, Meade
reached the Rappnhannock, Lee had |
Al, 600 men. Ihe Confederacy was
ut its highest point of military eff
cheney in the early summer of 1868,
when the movement into Pennsyl-
vania was commenced. Every able
bodied man, except those in the
workshops and civil departments,
was enrolled; seven out of ten were
actually present, and six out of ten

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

An interesting decision has been rendered
in a New York Court which may be profta-
bly, considered by parties who have vague
notions about suing newspapers FOR lihel. The
action was for an alleged libel published in
the New York Hrald, contained in a letter
from the widow Of Col. Kimbal The com
plainant alleges that the publication referred
to the plaintiff, and that he is thereby charg
ed with having under his patronage or pro
lection public prostitute that IS false, ma
licious and intended TO njure his reputation
and expose him to public hatred and con
tempt.
The Court decided that the Objectionable
words were actionablc, or otherwise, accord
ing to the manner in which it was intended
they should be understood, and malice must
be alleged and proved, that there must be a
Concurrence Of malicious intent and an in
furious tendency. II was the Office Of the
pleading TO Characterize the intent, so that
the defendant might take issue upon It. Had
it been alleged by the complainant that the in
tent Of the publication was TO charge the
plaintiff with keeping prostitute for Illicit
purposes, the defendant might, by denial,
have raised an issue properly to be tried by
the jury. Some such Interpretation must be
put upon the words before they become bel
Gus, and it is the Office Of the complainant TO
do 50 in case where the words have an am
biguous sense. The complaint was dismiss

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

We were about penning an article upon
this important subject, when oa- attention
was called to the following editorial in the
Los Angeles Nelcs. 1t so well expresses the
views we intended to urge, that we cannot
do better than accept it for our own purpose.
Its language is as applicable to Prescott as TO
Los Angeles, and we hope its suggestions will
be generally regarded by our people. 1t was
well remarked by the eminent DR.. Miner
that Life and blessing will attend the man
who observes the Sabbath
OBSERVANCE or THE SABBArH-Nothing
adds more 10 the moral standing Of commu-
nifty than the manner in which they observe
the Sabbath. Strangers form their opinion
Of the morals and religion Of town OF city
by the number Of business houses that observe
or refuse to observe the Sabbath. In our
good city, for example, stranger would ma
turally form an opinion adverse 10 the moral
and religious training Of the people, as but
little or no difference can be seen in the bust
ness part Of the city on Sunday from any 9th
eT day, until one or two o'clock, p. NJ, when
most Of the stores and shops close their doors
We do not believe that the business men OF
this city thus wantonly violate the command
Of God, 50 much for the purpose Of money
making, as from habit. Doing business on
the Sabbath has become as much a matter Of
course, in this city, a. though that day had
never been intended by God and nature to be
one Of rest. We are pleased to see that our
citizens are beginning to realize the import
ance Of redeeming themselves from the charge
Of immortality, Of which they have been 50
Justly accused by their total disregard Of the
Sabbath. Messrs Tomlinson Co, will, az
ter this date, discontinue their daily line OF
stages between this city and Wilmington and
San Pedro, on Sundays, except upon steamer
days. We hope the example will be followed
By other business men, and that our city NAV
no longer be disgraced by the utter disregard
Of the Sabbath. We have very grave doubts
a. 70 whether more money is made by doing
business on Sunday, than by resting The
people would soon get into the habit Of doing
their shopping on Saturday, and the seven
days business would be done in six, with one
for rest and recreation. There are few, if any,
civilized cities Of equal population to this,
where 70 little regard is paid 10 the cultiva-
ton Of that religious and moral influence that
should be one of its leading features Parents
and guardians who have the responsibility oil
the rising generation upon their hands, should
no longer remain Indifferent TO the moral and
religious character Of place where their sons
and daughters must grow up and mature into

believe we remove the only sound objection
that has been raised to our enterprise at any
time. In this connection, as well supporting
our views regarding partizan organs, we
would remark, that the New York Tines, in
announcing that tie issue Of c. a. Dana's
new paper has been postponed until Septem-
Der, takes occasion TO say that the day has
gone by when journals succeeded as the mere
organs Of any political party, or as the adyo-
Gates and champions Of any distinct set Of
doctrines. " They require broader basis
a larger and more general audience, than any
party or any system can give them. Mere
party organs have come to be regarded as
mere political traets-missionary underta-
kings, addressing mainly those who already
agree with them, and not likely to reach many
others. The zeal Of the parties by whom
such enterprises are usually set on foot, is
very hot and fierce at the outset-but it cools
with time and depletion"

SAN gERNARpINo ITEMS.

We have the Guardian Of July, 9th, and
Gull as follows:
NEW SpRIEC.-An extraordinary freak OF
nature has occurred at Dos Palms, on the La
Paz road, being as acceptable as unlocked for
and astonishing. 1t is the bursting forth Of
a large stream Of cold, pure water, from the
hard rocks, about 300 yards north Of the
house. 1t had been running for the past ten
days when Mr. Frink was there-it was fully
a six inch stream. There has been no earth
quake or other violent disturbance Of nature
TO cause this. 1t issues from rocks, as un-
likely to yield water as any other spot that
could be selected on the desert.
FoRr YUHA.-The stage arrived from Fort
Yuma on Monday evening, bringing four pas
sengeFs. There IS ferry established over
New River, which facilitates tie passage Of
the stages, and everything il going ~
finely On the road. The river is fallin
idly, and viii soon be within its bounN
again.
TRI-WEEgLY.-M Madame RumOr informed
rs during tire week, that il is not impossible
that Nessrs. TomlinsOn d Co. mas be reauir-
ed to put a tri-weekly mail service on their
inc between san Bernariino and Tucson. by
way of Fort Yuma. So much the better
Let US have a daily mail on each Of the three
roads To Arizona.
PLANET ORE-We understand that ore
from the Planet mine, in Arizona, was selling
lately IN San Francisco al -, - per unit, for
the manufacture Of blue stone.
L. PAz MAIL.--In reference to the arti-
Gle in oar last regarding a mail to La Paz,
&c may remark that information has since
reached Us, that leads US TO the conclusion
that the action Of the department on the
subject is not absolutely deinitiye, but that
it is possible il may be reconsidered. 1t is
not therefore improbable that service will
yet be placed on this line, and we may have
mail Communication direct between San
Bernardino and La Paz. We hope 50.
