Sewing cotton. --George Makepeace, Esq., of Cedar Falls, Randolph county, N. C., is manufacturing an excellent article of sewing cotton. Mr. M. is at present making only the lower Nos., but he hopes in a short time to be able to produce any quantity desired. This is certainly the only establishment of the kind in our Confederacy, and we believe that there are only one or two in the United States.
News from the South. From our Southern exchanges we make up the following compilation of news, which we think of sufficient interest to the reader to publish: A proclamation of the Governor of Georgia. Gov. Joseph E. Brown has published the following proclamation: The Constitution of the Confederate States contains the following language in reference to the right of a State to conduct warlike operations: "Nor shall any State keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, enter into an agree ment or compact with another State or with a foreign power, or engage in war unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will admit of no delay." Soon after the adoption of this Constitution, I was informed by the Secretary of War that the Prealdent assumed the control of all military operations in this State which were to be conducted against any foreign powers. The President then appointed Gen. Lawton, and extended his command from Savannah to the Florida l

coming, we had them perfectly surrounded. Such locomotion you never witnessed. They ran in every direction, but nothing could save them from our horsemen and their guns. We fired many shots at them, more than for any other purpose. But they did not fire a singe gun at us. We killed a young man by the name of William Caplinger, shooting him through both lobes of the brain, killing him instantly, and wounding another slightly. We captured eighteen of the cowardly rogues, sixteen United States stand of arms, all new and complete with everything; also, two other common rifle guns. Among the gang, are many noted offenders against the laws of this Commonwealth. The prisoners were all sent to Monterey the evening of the fight, and, I hope, they may soon have the pleasure of trying what virtue there is in hemp. On yesterday, (Monday,) as the enemy were making a rapid, and, as they supposed, a certain march on Petersburg, numbering from one to two hundred well-armed men, most

Pay of chaplains. --We suppose that the first act of the Confederate Congress establishing the office of chaplain, and fixing the pay of that officer, was intended to make suitable provision for the spiritual wants of the soldiers, as is done in the United States and every army of the old world. It is true the pay was not large — not as large even as that in the service of Virginia and North Carolina, which States paid their chaplains a hundred and fifty dollars a month. The Confederate Congress fixed the pay at $85 per month, or $1,820 a year. This amount, however, was accepted by many clergymen, some of them eminent men in their vocation, having large families dependent upon them, in the spirit of selfsacrifice universal in the South, who gave up much larger salaries and the comparative ease of ordinary ministerial duties for the hardships and labors of camp life. It was barcly possible, at the high rates of living prevailing throughout the country, for a gentleman to
rrespondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Mason's Hill, Sept. 12, 1861. In sight of Alexandria and Washington, and in the midst of "war's alarms" on every side of me, the eye detects emblems of hostility. The rattling sabres and loaded muskets of our own soldiers meet it wherever it turns; the fierce steel of Federal bayonets is gleaming in the grey distance; and the flags of both nations fling deflantly their Stare and Bars and Stars and Stripes upon the breeze. The banner of the United States is waving in plain view from an eminence near Alexandria and gazing upon this badge of tyranny, and remembering the foul disgrace into which it has fallen, we feel like pointing our eager soldiers to the spot where it floats and invoking them to tear down the mocking emblem and trample it 'neath their feet. Nothing, however, remains of it but the outward form; each Star and Stripe blazes as of yore, but the spirit has forever fied, and where victory was once proud to perch, now sit engr
An English Captain's opinion. New York, Sept. 16. --Captain Morris, of the Royal Navy, at Port Royal, says, we are ordered to observe strict neutrality, and if the privateer Sumter were to come in to-morrow she would receive the same attention paid to United States vessels.
1861. Gor. B. Magoffin.: A military necessity having required me to occupy this town. I have taken possession of it by the forces under my command. The circumstances leading to this act were reported promptly to the President of the Confederate States. His reply was the necessity justified the action. A copy of my proclamation I have the honor to transmit you by mail. Respectfully, Leonidas Polk. Major General Commanding Columbus, Ky., Sept. 9. 1861. Gor. B. Magoffin, Franilitary work on the Missouri shore, immediately opposite, and commanding Columbus, evidently intended to cover the landing of troops for the seizure of that town. It has become a military necessity worth the defence of the territory of the Confederate States that the Confederate forces occupy Columbus in advance. The Major-General commanding has, therefore, not felt himself at liberty to risk the loss of so important a position, but has decided to occupy it. In pursuance of this decision,
