arolina has a right to secede. If the Government at Washington says she has not, then prove it by taking the right away. Mr. Colcock said that, although the present crowd was a large one, he wished to see one more person present, and that was Abraham Lincoln. He would take him by the hand, bring him to the platform, and tell him to look upon that crowd, and then ask him if he ever expected to wave the sceptre of President over their heads. He said he had no doubt that "honest old Abe" would answer with down cast eyes, "Never!" Augusta, Ga., Nov. 10. --The Minute Men's meeting adjourned after hearing exciting speeches.

Patriotic contributions. The voluntary contributions of clothing and money, from patriotic citizens of the South, for various regiments in the army, registered at the Passport Office from the 3d to the 12th of October, amount to the large sum of $192,185. This fact is a grand illustration of the zeal of the Southern population, in the most noble cause that ever enlisted their sympathies. They are, to this vast extent, individually paying the expenses of the war, and no call will be made upon them by the Government to which they will not cheerfully respond. The soldiers will be inspired with new ardor, thus remembered and encouraged by the friends they left at home.

Late Northern News. Attempt to Capture a Yankee Steamboat on the Kanawha — The Administration and Gen. Wool--Order for the Release of Confederate Prisoners, &c., &c. The Cincinnati Commercial, of October 12th, contains the following special dispatch, dated "Gallipolis, October 11:" On arriving at the Red House Shoals, on the Kanawha river, this afternoon, the steamer Izetta, with a cargo of Government horses and wagons, was fired into by one hundred rebel cavalry, and ordered to land, which Captain Windsor declined doing. Rifle balls riddled the pilot house so thick and fast as to compel its abandonment, when Capt. Windsor wisely determined to 'bout ship, which he succeeded in doing with the engines alone, and descended the river, arriving here without material injury. The rebels fired about two hundred shots, first at the pilot house and then at the engines and boat generally. The balls passed through and through the cabin, texas, engine room, and steam pipe, but s

From the army of the Kanawha. the retreat of Rosencranz--Gen. Floyd's Column on the March--appearance of an army in motion — an Incident, &c., &c. The Lynchburg Republican, of the 22d, contains an interesting letter from its editor, R. H. Glass, Esq., attached to General Floyd's staff, dated "Richmond Ferry, 20 miles west of Sewell, Oct. 12," from which we extract the following: The latest information in reference to the movements of Rosencranz is, that he has retired the last of his men from the south side of the Gauley, and is, probably, in hasty retreat with his main strength to the banks of the Ohio. He has probably left small detachments at Gauley Bridge and Carnifax's Ferry, to defend those passes, but this is only conjecture. We are little capable up here of judging the cause of this sudden backward movement of the enemy, but we have reasons to suppose that it was occasioned in great part by the conscious impossibility of breaking through our compact li

Views of Wm. Smith O'Brien. --Mr. Smith O'Brien has, through the columns of the Dublin Morning News, addressed a long letter, dated Dublin, Oct. 12, to Capt. Thomas Francis Meagher, on the American war. Mr. O'Brien deprecates the views taken by Mr. Meagher, who advocates the war against the South; and proceeds to show that, even supposing the Northerners were successful, they would not be able to keep the conquered States in subjection. Mr. O'Brien offers his own services as a mediator between the belligerent parties, to assist in restoring peace.
