Wm. H. Gist. Pending the consideration of this Message Senator Garlington offered the following resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Assembly that the citizens of South Carolina, who have held offices under the General Government, should be indemnified against any pecuniary liability or loss they may incur in consequence of their resignation of such offices, on account of the election of the candidate for the Presidency of the Black Republican party. Senator Bryan thought that as this was a new matter to many of them, it had better lie over until to-morrow. There being no objection, the resolution was ordered to lie over among the general orders for to-morrow, and be printed. Last winter the Alabama Legislature passed a bill authorizing a tax of $200,000 to be raised to defray the expense of arming the State, and giving the Governor power to appoint two Commissioners from each county, with power to determine the course which the State sh

the preservation of the Union, the duty of the Territory to yield obedience to the constitutional acts of Congress, recognizing Mr. Crittenden's compromise as sound, a Union formed in peace is not to be maintained by force; that it was the duty of the General Government to establish a branch mint, and to provide for entering lands, and to leave the universal lands to private enterprise.

Clothing for the soldiers. Camp near Centreville., Nov. 15, 1861. Editors Dispatch. I see, from your paper, that a record has been kept of contributions of winter clothing to our army. As a part of that record, allow me to state that Messrs. Hughes.

The clothing was all made up by the ladies of the county, from wool grown, spun, and woven in the county the shoes from leather tanned there, and the blankets were principally from from the private bedding of the citizens. These gentlemen came to this place direct from Lynchburg, and therefore their report was not made to her sons in Richmond. Very respectfully, A. C. Holt.

Miscellaneous Offences. --The utter inability of mankind to sustain even a decent part in an encounter with Richmond whiskey was painfully illustrated at the Mayor's Court, yesterday. Michael O' Bryan, charged with being drink and breaking in the house of Charles Palmer, was remanded for trial.--Michael Kennedy and James Broderick, arrested for fighting in the street, were committed in default of surety for their good behavior.--John Monroe, charged with assaulting William Anderson, was required to give security to keep the peace.--Daniel Workman, charged with cutting Daniel Sullivan, was arraigned, and Sullivan testified that they were going about drinking whiskey, and that he (Sullivan) was very drunk; and that, without provocation, Workman drew a knife and cut him on the head and throat. Contradictory testimony in regard to the circumstances was introduced, and the Mayor determined to deliver the prisoner up to the officers of his company, now under marching orders.--Some o

Chainplin, then on picket duty in front of General Heintzelman's division, took thirty-four men, under Lieutenant Brennan, from Company F, and forty-four, under Lieut.

Arriving there early in the afternoon, a few unarmed men were observed drilling in the town. They gave the alarm; when a number of rebels came from the houses and fired on our men.

ke out: 'Not to save her own life.' One of them sold he was a candidate for matrimony, and would like to marry a Southern woman. She said, quickly: 'There is not a lady in the Southern Confederacy that would have you.' " They got many hard lessons of the spirit of the Southern people, from the mouths of girls and boys who speak for their fathers, and brothers who are absent in the wars, and for the race which is to succeed them. The following passage has some significance: "Colonel Bryan's and several other houses were searched yesterday for sick Texans.-- None were found, for on the day of the panic the well ones want all over town and took their sick comrades away; but some folks are afraid of Texas rangers and Morgan's men" These things corroborate, from the very scene, the reports that are now going North, that Gen. Boeil is deeply disappointed at the reception of the Union forces at Nashville. Be has been enable to discover any material out of which a Northe

The Yankees are indulging their thievish propensities with a vim in the region of country adjacent to Newbern. They are visiting the farms and carrying off negroes by hundreds. Mr. Daniel Perry has lost all. Mr. Jacob F. Scott's farm was visited, an officer compelled the negroes to hitch mules and horses to wagons and carts, and 25 negroes, all he could get, were carried off. One hundred of widow Bryan's were carried off in the same manner--81 from Mr. Oldfield; 35 from Mr. McDaniel; all of Mr. Fosone's, besides those of dozens of gentlemen whose names we need no record.--Raleigh Journal.

In another article, the Journal narrates the first instance of Federal decency which we remember to have noticed during the progress of the war: A flag of truce was sent down to Newbern last Wednesday to ascertain the fate of Colonel Robinson, who, it was generally believed, was killed in the skirmish of the 18th with a party of the enemy at Gillette's, Jones . The flag was readily admitted by the enemy's pickets, who conducted the escort (Lieutenant Bryan, of the Second Cavalry,) to the first Colonel's encampment, where that officer was detained, and whence the carriage containing the Colonel's wife and a female friend who accompanied her proceeded to General Burnside's headquarters, where they were received with all the courtesy and consideration which the true gentleman and brave soldier ever accords to their sex, but especially when the victims of sorrow and affliction.
