Persons out of town who desire advertisements in- ■erted in the Observer, and persons in town with whom we have not regular accounts, will please send with the advertisement as much money as they wish to invest in it, according to our advertising terms oa the first page We do not wish to open any more such accounts,—or indeed any accounts. The procesii of collection fn too difficult, and we have to pay eaih for every thing we Hie or sell in these times. Oct. 2, 1861. Obituart Notioxs.—We have heretofore given notice, repeatedly, that we charge for obituary notices of un reasonable length, and for resolutions of respect; be- oause that kind of reading, we have much occasion to know, is not often more agreeable to readers than to editors of papers. A« it generally happens, however, that after charging and paying postage on the account for warded, we never get paid, we now give notice that we will insert nothing of the sort hereafter unless accom panied by the cash. (Always excepting in the case of deceased volunteers, when we require uo pay.) Bear in mind, therefore, that we will insert obituary notices and resolutions, not exceeding 70 words, gratis. Fur all over 70 words, one cent a word, which must be paid be fore the notice will be put in type. ST.\.\DA:'i *;\D JIlSl'ELLWEOlS WORKS.

An Anempt. to Destroy Charleston Harbor.— In discussing the question of “wa.ste and destruc, tion” of tin eneaiy’s property in time of war, Vattel illustrates the law of natiens by citiugacase: “Those who tear up the vines and cut down the fruit trees are looKed upon as savage barbarians, unless they do it with a view to punish the enemy for some gros% violation of the law of nations. They desolate a coun try for many years to come, and beyond what their own safety requires. Such conduct is not dictatcrd by pru- I dence, but by hatred and fury ” I A few weeks since our readers learned that a ' fleet of old hulks, loaded with stone, were sunk ' across one of the channels of the Charleston Bar. , They have also been informed of the recent arri- i val of another fleet of the same kind, to complete I the work, by obstructing the two remaining chan- i nels.

No such charge can be made with the slightest show of justice or even honesty. We have exercised belligerent rights with a regard to the amenities of civilized warfare, only too scrup ulous, when dealing with a deceitful, maligi^nt and brutal foe. Nor can the U'nited States oner,, as a reason for this wholesale and malignant at tempt at the absolute ruin of the citizens of Charleston, that their own safety requires it It is a mere convenience in carrying out the blockade of the Southern Coast, and is prompted more by a spirit of reven;j:e than even the desire of ren- derin" effective the closure of our ports. In the words used by Vattel, it is “not dictated by pru dence, but by hatred and fury,’' entitling them to be “looked upon as sovaye barbarians.” ■ But, however monstrous this conduct of our Northern enemy, and however condemned by the laws of nature and the usages of civilized nations, it excites more ot contempt than indignation a- luongst the people of this city. They believe it will eventuate in utter failure, while disclosing to the world the dastardly nature of the.war waged upon our existence as a people. The United States is in possession of the whole naval resources I of the late Union, having seized the share justly 1 belonging to the South. The Confederate States ' have no navy at all. The United States have, it ! is said, on land 600,000 troops now in the field; I while the Confederate States have certainly not I so many. Why, with their boasted fleets and ! armies vowing vengeance against Charleston, do I they not capture the city by fair fighting? No ! eflfort has been made to effect its reduction; but I instead, we see this safe and skulking attack, i which we are unable to meet, upon the natural j features of the country, for the purpose ot blasting ; the sources of prosperity to present and future I generations The whole business, while it mani- i f’ests cowardice and malignity, is also a palpable I confession of weakness and incapacity. The U. I States are unable to blockade, according to the usages of civilized nations; they despair of taking Charleston; hence their resort to this barbarous procedure. Whether it will help them to satis fy foreign nations that their so-called blockade is legal and efficient, we have already had intima tions from the press of Great Britain and France. Like the unwarrantable .seizure of "Mason and Slidell, it must recoil upon them in the public opinion ot civilized nations. Like their ignomi nious backdown before British demand, it mani fests a spirit calculated to inspire chiefly the is^n- I timent of contempt.— Churleston Mercury. Death Prrji-rablf' to Disgrace.—Rev.

His eyes were deep and had a tinge ; of sea green, that made him look calm, deep, and sublime, like the ocean at rest. While in camp, i alter a day of licavy picket duty, he fell asleep on j his post at night, for which he was reported to ■ the Colonel, who, to impress him, and make an example for the benefit of the re;:iiiient, called I him in solemn pomp to a trial. He was ioun:l guilty, and the sentence of the court was to be ! shot.
