Save your powder.
--We endorse the prudent suggestion of various of our contemporaries in this respect.
The Savannah Republican says:
"This is a valuable suggestion at the present emergency, and should be heeded.
We hear of one hundred guns being fired in some places over Sumter, Virginia, &c., &c. Far better save your powder for the enemy, and give one hundred cheers. So far as Savannah is concerned, we are setting a good example.--We have saluted nobody and nothing, where powder was required, since South Carolina went out of the Union.
We made an emphatic demonstration then, and intended it to last for the whole war. Even the secession of our own State was not made an exception.
We kept back the big guns, or rather had them in battery, and brought out a swivel, which has been used as our saluting ordnance ever since, and you can fire it from a powder horn to your heart's content.
Again we say, save your powder, and, what is equally important, keep it dry!"
South Carolina troops for Virginia.

Col. M. A. Moore and Col. J. R. Calhoun have been detached from the Governor's Staff, and will proceed to Virginia with the troops.--Charleston Courier, 22d.
