January 90,1864. xjclhi wj2ia.xnii.xt. We have had quite a showery week, large rain have fallen, at short intervals, but it came down so gently that no harm was done, though the bottoms in some localities may be a little under water. The weather now promises to be clear for a vegetable matter seems to be prospering wheat has come- out well, and the large quantities of corn, though planted at a late season, give promise, with seasonable of a most abundant crop. Large quantities of 1 1 V.I gnum nave Deen piantea, ana tne gardens in this section seem never before to have received so much The general prospect is quite flattering; and if our farmers vill only be allowed to reap what they have sown, the possibility of starvation will be as unlikely as Yankee success in an "on to Rich- uiond:" YANKEE OFFICERS AT LARGE.

We learn, by a private letter received from Maj. Melton, by Lieut. Thomson, tnr ortAiit "100 YnntnA nfflnAra AcAtrrvnrl 1 from the cars on the Charlotte Road on Eriday night last, between Charlotte and Columbia. Our people will do well to keep a good look out, and they will probably find some of them lurking about their premises, or tampering with their negroes. SMALL POX.

The small pox has made its appearance in Charlotte, N. in the locality i known as- "California." Every precaution has been taken by the jyithorities to prevent its spreading. OUR DEAD AND The body of Brigadier General M. Jenkins was received at Columbia, and in state, at the Arsenal, under charge of the State Cadets, as a guard of lionor, last Sunday, preparatory to their removal to Summer ville, for inter- ment. Col.

He will soon resume his command. Charlotte Carolina Timti. I -OUR SITUATION.

The news from our Army to day, is quite cheeriDg, though not The news from Grant tells us of his being driven 'over the Rapidan, and we learn that the Yankees have afoot-hold at Chester Station, on the railroad between Richmond and Petersburg. Gen. Beauregard had already driven them to their gunboats from this point, with a loss of six of theili, but they have returned reinforced from City Point, and at our last advices a great battle was impending, Gen. Beauregard having also been reinforced by 20,000 troops, with daily accessions, we look with confidence to the result. 1 -n rom Keel Kiver, we nave unity re' ports, all favorable, though the papitulation of Steele or the surrender of Banks have not been confirmed.

It is known, however, that the latter is suri rounded, and there is every prospect that such will be the case. Forrest and Mosby are fully engaged in their several -localities, and we, every 1 day expect to hear something of Gen. Morgan, and his command. We have, in this connection to mention a report that he had fallen on Averill, somewhere near the Virginia and East Tennessee rail road, and cut him to pieces this is coupled with another report, it is thought too true, that the gallant and dashing General J. E.

B. Stuart, has been killed. Johnson has his hands full in Northern Georgia; though his force is great ly inferior to that of the enemy, he holds them -well in hand, and has so far exhibited tact and been rewarded by success. On the whole, everything looks for the Confederate arms, while the spirits- of our troops are kept up. by the.

strict confidence they have in their the success, that has so far attended As we have said, nothing decisive has been received, the telegraph wires either being down or under Government control, we therefore must digest, as we may, what unconnected telegrams we receive, and await the grand denouement as patiently as we can. Our telegraph head will' give the latest news we have. COMPLIMENTARY. We find the following notice in the Charleston Courier, of oar friend and com'peer of the Enquirer, whose modesty will excuse us for giving it a place in his own columns: "The Lancaster Ledger pays a merited tribute to a worthy printer and a pupil of the on in this city: Our friend, Captain L. M.

Grist, Is installed as local Enrolling Officer in the city of Charleston. He is a model officer in this branch of the service. While firm in the discharge of his duties to the Government, bo does not forget that'patience and courtesy are essential qualities in an enrolling officer. Snob was the reputation he made engaged in similar duties in this District. snrtEiTVJCSa The Board of Examination of Con tpripts did not get through on Thursday last, with the largo number in-attendance, so that the remainder were turned over to the next board a month hence.

A rainy day kept the parties quite cool, a large number having been assigned to "light" duty when needed. Gen. Stafford's funeral took place in Kiohmond on the 9th in the morning, and that of General Jenkins in the noon, the members of Congress, attending them in a body. The body of Col. John Miller, we learn, wa9 interred at Kichmond, as transportation could not be obtained for them farther.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States, after a harmonious session of eight days, adjourned at Charlotte, on the 13th inst, to meet in on thtf third Monday in May, 1865. The "fifB dollar bills" art hardly any where received at par, thus it is improper to enforce them on any one for other than taxes or in payment for government purposes, exqept at the discount The Yankees have discovered an attemnt to kidnav old Abe. Poor fellow. wc have no use for him if he was even ta- I ken in his Scotch cap and cloak, we. would treat him as "my Uncle Toby" did the fly, put him out of the door, with the remark, I "there is room enough in the world for both of us." Wm.

T. Sanders, convicted of the robbery and mnrder of Rosa LeGrand, at lumbia, in June last, and who applied to the Appeal Court for a new trial, has been sentenced to be hung on the 3d of June next. The Columbia Carolinian says "Peas, eggs and provisions of all kinds areobeap in comparison to wbat they haVe Flour has fallen nearly one-half within the. last week. The Mayorwof Columbia has seized all the liquor they could lay their bands on, in the shops, owipg to the fact of about 80 Jack tars having "struck a breeze." As Governor Brown and Mr.

Stephens would say, that is another sad effect of the suspension of the "habeas compos." i Nice blockade runners have come into Wilmington sinoe the iron-clad Raleigh scattered the blookadiDg squadron, a few days ago. Five of them are entirely new vessels, on their first trips. They saw no signs of the blockaders. The New York Herald, of the 4th, says the Paris journals attach much importance to the declaration of the House of Representatives in Washington against the establishment of a monaroby in The Independence Beige intimates that the new Emperor has reflcoted on every eventuality and that be probably "oonsiders-biiriself prepared to brave the hostility of the United States." The damage done to the tolegraph wires during the raid of the Federals on Resaoa .1 was repaired iujmediately aiter tuuy iciu, by Mrs. Buchman, a patriotic and energotio lady of Whitffeld County, and daughter of Col.

Henry L. Sims, of Catoosa. The Card Factory at Selma, is running four machines, whioh turn off from twenty to fifty pair per day. The pspgrietor will soon commence manufacturing wire from common bar iron. The cards will sell at $8 per pair.

Gen. W. H. F. Lee, so long in captivity, and reoently exchanged, has been nom.inated to the rank of major general, and takeB command of a division of cavalry.

Gen. Robert Toombs was a few days ago. In conversation stated that "the present is the brightest day wbioh has ever dawned upon our Confederacy." Mr. Stephens and Gov. Brown would have us believe that it is about the darkest.

The court martials of the Generals of Longstreet's corps have terminated. Gen. JttoDertsoo, ot toe Texas Drigaae, is sentenced to be reprimanded; Gen. Law, of Alabama, is returned to duty, and Genera! McLaws' sentence has not yet been published, though the inference is that he has been acquitted. "Cousin.

Sallie.Ann,* we learn, is fortunate in securing the servioes of patriotic friends who are willing to work for nothing for her on condition of her finding othqxs to fight for them. Contracts for oarrying mails and other jobs involving exemption from military service can be given out on good terms. We -should know and keep the names of all who thus serve their country for nothing. Lieut. Flusser, of the Yankee gunboat Miami at Plymouth, N.

His fate is not deplored by the people of that section, upon whom be was accustomed to practice every ppeoies of oppression and ipsult. Lincoln has offered the command of the Yankee troops in California to Fremont. He will refuse to take it. Lincoln wants get him away from political influence.

Since the beginning of the present campaign, fifty thousand Federal troops, aocording to the estimates of the Federals themselves, have been placed hors de combat. A Parlimentary return shows that the number of rifles and muskets exDorted from Liverpool to Federal ports in 1861, was fifteen thousand one hundred and forty eight, while in 1862, it amounted to one hundred and ninety-six thousand and fifty three. The waters of Albermarle Sound are in our quiet possession. The fisheries are worked with gfeat results by the people. Mr, Alexander Ridings, of Forsythe oounty, N.

Federal dispatohes from Cairo the 14th, says that Gen Forrest crossed the river Cold Water, going Soath, with 5,000 captured horses and nineteen hundred wagons of plunder.

A rascally bachelor says "The friendship of two women is always a plot against a third. An offioial telegram from Wilmington to the Secretary of the Navy, gives us authentic intelligence from Nassau that the Confederate steamer Florida sunk the Huntsville and another gun-boat in the West Indies. President Lincoln holds frequent interviews with the spiritual mediums at Georgetown, as a military necessity. The editor of the "Atlanta thinks if he were going to start a comic paper in Georgia, he would call it the writ of Habeas Corpus. Governor Brown would never let it be suspended as long as the world stands.

The Yankee Congress has passed a iL A An Vi Pnn UlUilUU tuo UU IUO VWUduct of the War to inquire into "the truth of the rumors attending the reoent attack upon Fort Pillow could have been reinforced; and that they report the facts soon as possible.

LATEST NEWS, A speoial despatch to the Mobile Advertiser, dated- Brookville, May 10, Bays that news from Natchez direct, says that Banks had surrendered unconditionally ta Taylor. The Federals say he did it for spite, because he was superceded by McClurthur.

The reason that some of our men i were uitutuiy near- nu after being taken prisoners 6eems confirmed, and is talked of in Natchez as in retaliation for the Fort Pillow affair. News from Atlanta, to the 16th, state that Johnsoq had repulsed' the enemy at every step. It is believed that both armies are now deploying into the Valley of the Oostenala. The relief cofltaaittee were notified that they were not needed at the front. The Yankees are said to have possession of Dublin Depot, on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail force estimated at 7000, and that they repulsed forces and drove them back to the New River Bridge.

One regiment of Yankees come through Tazewell County, Va? sup posed to be a part of the main body? these were badly whipped by General Morgan, nearly all were either killed, wqunded or captured. The latest news, which we have from Chester, as per telegraph is, that a fight took place at Drury's Bluff, where the Yankees were repulsed, leaving 1,000 dead on the field. Tallahassee, May J. K. Harris, who has just arrived at Quincey from West Florida, states that the blockade steamer off was captured, with all on board, about 150 men, last night, by an expedition of launchers.

No loss on our side. The Newborn Expedition. Goldsboro, May 9. The epedition toNewbern returned last Sunday morning. We captured sixty three Our loss slfght.

The Defences of correspondent of the London Times, who spent one year iD the Confederate- States, and most of that time in Richmond, says that it would require a force of two hundred thousand men to carry the fortifications and capture the city. When we consider that an average force of ten thousand men has been working upon those works for throe years, directed by a corps of the best engineers in the world, the statement appears perfectly correct. If Grant succeeds in getting his army up to the walls he will there have to sacrifice more men than he has under bis command before carrying them. The Yankee nation itself has no confidence in Grant's capturing Riohtoond. We have little fears that he Constitutionalist.
