The Atlanta Intelligencer has the following in regard to the probabilities of a reduction in the price of this very desirable article of home consumption. The concluding sentences we cordially recommend for the adoption of our readers: There is every indication that the price of sugar must soon come down to a living rate. The large sale of this article which takes place in Charleston on the 31st instant, will help to reduce its value, while the certainty that an abundant supply will come from Louisiana are long, will also influence the market. We see it stated in the Franklin (La.) Banner, that active measures are now being adopted for sugar making. About the last of the month, that paper states, nearly all of the furnaces will be in full blast. The late cool nights and fine days have had a fine effect upon the cane, and the sugar crop of that parish alone will be quite heavy, probabl

es for still higher prices. It may be all right, but we cannot bring ourselves to believe that it is. A terrible Lincoln Projectile. The Petersburg Express, of yesterday, has the following description of a shell which was fired at Commodore Lynch's fleet in Pamilco Sound, N. C., by one of Lincoln's fleet: We have been shown a large, conical shell, 8 inches in diameter, and 15 inches in length, thrown by one of the Federal steamers, at Commodore Lynch's fleet in Pamlico Sound, oCommodore Lynch's fleet in Pamlico Sound, on the 5th of October. The sand bars dividing the Atlantic from the Sound were of course between the vessels, and we suppose the shell must have fallen upon one of these bars. Its weight is fully 100 pounds, and it was fired from a rifled cannon. Its cone is capped with a large percussion copper cap, which, should the shell strike anything solid, would cause a terrific explosion. One of these shells striking and bursting in a vessel, would be sufficient to destroy or sink her, and carry death

This choked up the outlet for the smoke, and as they were yet burning the far, sulphur and tallow, the asphyxiating gas that arose from it rushed down and spread throughout the boat, threatening to suffocate every one in a few minutes. Nothing was to be done except for some one to go on deck and cut away the wreck, while the ships, less than a quarter of a mile distant, were raining their balls all around them. Seizing an axe, Mr. Hardy rushed up the companion way, nor could Lieut. Warley, who had not discovered the accident, hold him back. Austin saw him go up, and knowing that he could not stand alone on the arched roof, followed him up. There, on the unguarded top, Hardy cut away the fallen chimney and its guys with the axe, while Austin, bracing his feet firmly apart, held him steady. All the while the balls and shells were whistling past and around them. The vent was opened and the sulphurous smoke rushed out, jus

The bread was soon spoiled from salt water, and in this condition, after being out four days and nights, they were picked up by the sloop Kate Dale, and taken into Tampa. They state that a large number of persons at Key West were compelled to take the oath or leave their families to the mercy of the enemy. Among those who were under this necessity was Mr. F. J. Morena, brother-in-law of Secretary Mallory. Many of those persons went up to take the oath with tears in their eyes. No one was allowed to leave Key West without taking the oath, neither for Europe or for an American port. One gentleman wanted to accompany this party and take his wife with him. Both slaves and free negroes are obliged to take the oath. One free negro, named Pablo Rogers, obstinately refused, said he was a Southern man and belonged to St. Augustine. They discharged him from his employment on Fort Jeffer

ized me to deny unequivocally the assertion that "he had applied to President Davis for leave to advance on the enemy and that it had been refused." I have the means of knowing, and have good reason to believe that Gens. Johnston, Beauregard, and Smith, are in full accord with the President (who is now here,) as to the policy of the existing operations of the army. A patriotic man The Macon Telegraph, of Monday last, says: We were introduced yesterday to Col. John Smith, of Wilkinson, who offers, in his own example, a bright illustration of patriotic devotion to the country. He is a planter of considerable wealth--sixty years of age.--stalwart in frame, and with a body still sound and vigorous. His only son is a private in the ranks of the Confederate army: and he himself has uniformed and fitted out, at his own expense, a company — the Smith Guards, 2d Georgia regiment--in which he carries a musket as a private, refusing to accept any other position in the service.

Major French did not interfere, but afterwards paid the frigate a visit, when they covered their Armstrong guns, so as to shield them from observation. The famous schooner Wanderer, which is one of the prizes in port, is now used as a patrol and guard boat.

Our informants left three behind who had not taken the oath, and were determined to refuse it. These were Wm. Randolph, formerly of the United States Revenue service, William H.

Resolved, That each and every citizen of the city, not exempted from military duty, be required to register his name at the Mayor's office by 12 o'clock M., on the 12th inst., and that the Mayor be requested to give immediate notice of the same. A good story. A gentleman who was in Augusta when the Yankee prisoners passed through there on their way to New Orleans, relates the following conversation between one of the prisoners and a "cullud gemman:" Yankee, from car window, to darkie on platform--"Are you a slave or a free man? " Darkie--"Well, I ain't what you might call a free nigger, but I's right smart freer dan you is "bout dis time."
