- TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 17. 1861.

Clothing for the Soldiers. The amount

of clothing bedding &c, subscribed by theladies of Newbern was beyond the expectation

of the most sanguine, and the goods in most

cases have been promptly sent in to Mr. Eu-

bank for which he returns his sincere thanks.

Owing, however, to the late panic, severalperson's whose names are on the list have not

yet sent in their quoto and as cold wether is

drawing nigh it is desireable that they should

be sent in so that they may be sent forward

in time to meet the demand. Also, those who

are knitting gratuitously will please send in

socks as fast as they are done and if more yarn

is wanted a plenty can be had by application

to Mr. Eubank.

At His Old Tricks. Mr. Eubank treated

us to wine on Saturday. It was still in the

hull of the grape, though, and we like it bestthatway the pressing operation is so pleasant.

Chaves Cocntt Court. This tribunal was

in session a fw days last week, but did not

lake up any cases in which there was any lit-

igation. The jury was called and discharged

the first day.

Senators. The Legislature has finally suc-

ceeded in electing Geo. Davis Esq., of Wilming-

ton and the sneaker of the house of repre-

sentatives, Mr. Dorch of Goldsboro, as Confed-

erate State Senators for the ensuing term.

So fare as we know, the selection is a good

one. at any rate we are glad they have made it,

lor now there is some nope ol a terimauon of

tbe icssion.

The following piece of information is so

we hardly see how even a preacher couldhelp from telling it, and still it is clear thatMr. Nicholson aught to be court-martiale- d for

making it public.It, however, has been published several

times and not wishing to keep anything we

find in the public print, which is so interesting,from our readers we venture to give it as we

find it:THE STEAM FRIGATE MERRIMAC.

The Rev. J. J. Nicholson, writing from Nor-folk, on the 28th ult., gives the Mobile Tribunean interesting account of a visit he recentlypaid to the Navy Yard at that place. He de-

scribes the Merrimac as follows:I was on the celebrated Merrimac. She is

Craven Cocntv Sound on the Question.This county already has six companies in theregular service and four more forming, three ofwhich are nearly ready for their guns. CaptWhitty's company went into barracks nearthis office yesterday and we understand CaptR. A. Russell, in the upper end of the countywill be ready for marching soon. This is theonly spirit that can successfully resist inva-

sion and subjugation. It the war lasts sixmonths longer Craven will have 11 or 12 hun-

dred men under arms.

Struck the Post. The buggy in which theladies were riding yesterday in attempting toenter the gate near the Washington Hotelstruck the gate post, threw one of the littleone3 out and scared the larger ones, but " no-

Rumors from Northern Journals.C.TSS. M'CLEIXAN NOT DISPOSED TO GIVE BAT-

TLE.

The enemy are not disposed to give battleThey cowardly skulk behind their entrench-ments and decline every challenge to combat.The Washington Star says :

The impression prevails here in military cir-

cles that IJeauregard is now massing most ofhis troops between Fairfax Court House andLeesburg.

It is further believed by the best informedhere that everything that Davis has been ableto scrape together in the way of fighting mate-

rial, not absolutely required elsewhere, hasbeen hurried on to'Beauregard, and that thelatter's army has been thus greatly increased.His purpose is now. apparently, to tempt or toprovoke General McClellan to leave his en-

trenchments, in which we hardly think hewill be shortly accommodated, as lie mustadvance against them or decline the battlethe Secession authorities have been so longseeking.NO SECESSION OFFICERS CAPTURED BV GENERAL

m'clellan.In alluding to the rumor of the capture of

two Confederate officers, near Washington, bythe Federals, the Star says :

The stories saying that a detachment underGeneral Smith, -- n the night before last, cap-

tured a Confederate Major and a Captain, areincorrect. That detachment captured twoprivates of Virginia cavalry at LewinsviHe onthat occasion and killed two. No Secession of-

ficers have fallen into Gen. McClellan's handssince he has been in command of the army ofthe Potomac.

The 1'imes has another editorial in regard tothe loan and expenses of the Federal Govern-ment

belief that the subjugation of the South is ahopeless task, even if the North pour forth itswealth unsparingly into the Federal exche-quer. But if the North should attempt to de-

fray the accumulating charges with money bor-

rowed at seven per cent, they will find them-selves

THE LATE EtfGAGEMEXT OX TEEGAXjLEY RIVER.

The city was filled yesterday, and on Satur-day, with the most lively and exaggerated ru-mors, of the late affair on the Gauley, betweenGeneral Floyd and a detachment of Rosen-- 'cranz's forces. Reports of various characterand extent were excited by the fact that thePostmaster at Lewisbvrg had written to thePostmaster of this city on the way bill, a briefmessage, stating some facts of the engagement,derived from an officer of Gen. FloytTs com-mand. The following is the statement refer-red to :

"Gen. Floyd had another engagement withthe enemy at Gauley oh the 10th, and routedthem, killing C00, wounding a thousand andtaking some prisoners. A few hours after theengagement he heard that the other wing ofthe enemy had crossed the river a few milesabove him, in order to surround him on thisside of the river. He then fell back. This re-port is reliable, as it was brought by an officerengaged. Our loss, one killed and eight wonndeu.

We have not been able to confirm the appa-rently

are

extravagant statements of this report,except in a very partial measure. Up to yes-terday the War Department had received no ofdispatshes of the action.

The possession of full information of the af-

fair was ascribed to an officer of the Govera-men- t,

who was reported to have received pri-vate

linedispatches. On inquiry, this information

was assertained to have been derived lrom apostscrip hastily written on the back of ft pri-vate letter agreeing in its main statementswith those that had reached here from Lewis- -

burg, and also confirming these accounts ofextent of the enemie s less, but statingloss on our side at about 250 men.

It was also stated that Gen. Floyd had fallenback, on acconnt of his flank being threatened

a detachment of the enemy.There is no doubt but that there arc extrava-

gances in the accounts, on both sides, of theproportion of their loss.

It was further reported last evenihg in theaccounts brought by passengers from the West, itthat Gen. Floyd had effected a junction withGeJWise, had the Gauley, given bat-tle

aforto Rosencranz and driven him back with san

immense loss. It is not unlikely that ifthere has been another action since last Tues-day,

thethe accounts of the results of the two af-

fairs may have become mingled and confused. proThe general fact, however, ofour success in theWest is put beyond question by the concur-rence of all the testimony tliat has yet reached

Flag of the South ! aye, fling its foldsUpon the kindred breeze ;

Emblem of dread to tyrant holdsOf freedom on the seas !

Forever may its stars and stripesIn cloud les glory wave ;

Red white and blue eternal typesOi nations free and brave.

States of the South ! the patriot's boast !

Here equal laws have sway ;

Nor tyrant lord, nor despot host,Upon the weak may prey.

Then let them rule from sea to sea,And crown the queenly isle :

Union of love and liberty,'Neath heaven's approving smile.

God of the South ! protect this landFrom fale and open foes .' ."
