The many brave and heroic actions performed by our soldiers elicit, on all occasions, our special admiration. While we are willing always to ex tend to our own eex the praise justly merited by tnem, we should tirely disregard not be so .prejudiced u to en - and overlook those of the " fair sex. The trials and difficulties through which the women of the Kevolution passed the almost Spartan brnvery which characterized all their ex ploits have been entirely surpassed by some of our own ladies of the " Sunny .South," who have given us valuable aid and information. One of the most striking instances on record, and one which will make one of the brightest pages in Southern history, is the daring exploit performed by two young ladies of Northwestern Virginia. The circumstances, as far as I have been able to learn, are these: The djy before the battle of Phillippi the Federal troops of Gen. McCle Han's command, numbering over 4,000, started from Fairmont (46 miles fiom Phillippi) to attack the Virginia troops undei Col. Poiterfield, and which numbered only 00 armed men. The movement was conducted on the part of our enemies with such seciesy that their designs were known to but few; yet their object was obvious to some. They saw that the annihilation of our gallant little baud was their desire. Scarcely had they left their camp, when two young ladies, gaining information of the enemy's disin, immediately mounted their pet horses and started to inform our troops. They had not proceeded tar before they were halted by 1.1 .tllll Yi a aetaciiment oi reueral troops, and after parley ing with them for a while, and watching every opportunity to escape, they saw a favorable one, and laying whip to their horses started. The enemy fired a volley upon them, and some of the balls passed through their clothes. Nothing daunted, they still pursued their course and passed the enemy s lines in safety. Arriving at Prunty town they stopped a few moments to have a shoe put on one of the horses, and after they had gone a few miles further, they were stopped by a crowd of Union men who demanded "'who they were and where they were going.'"' They contrived an ingenious and plausible story, such as only woman can invent; and alter a detention of over an hour were allowed to proceed on their journey. Start ing again, and after proceeding so:ne eight or ten miles further, one of the ladies was thrown from her horse, not, however, hurting her seriously. By this they were detained some time. They at 1 1 111 .4"ktt I " last arrived at I'lnllippi at Z o clock p. m., liaving ridden a distance of 46 m:les in s x hour.-j. Tiny inmied'ately proceeded to the office of Col. Porter field, introduced themselves, informed him of the designs and the number of the enemy, and ad vised him to retreat without delay. I will not worry you with a detail of the battle, &c; suffice it to say that if the advice of the ladies had been i t t pursued our lorces could nave retreated to a pass in the mountains but a few miles distant, where they could have made a noble fight. After the battle was over and many rumors were in circulation regarding the number of our men taken prisoners, these young ladies resolved to ascertain the truth of the report. Disguising themselves as old country women, and with buck ets of soap, they proceeded from where our tp;oj s had retreated, to the enemy's camp. They entered the Hessian com m indor's quarters and vainly en deavored to dispose of their merchandize. While there, thej- discovered that one of our men was a prisoner in the house, and watching a favorable opportunity, and while but few remained within, one of the young ladies cautiously proceeded up stairs, cut the cords with which he was bound, procured an old hat and coat, made him put them on and got him down stairs in safety. They then proceeded to leave the house, making the gentle man whom they rescued carry the soap. They were not the least suspicioned. Arrived outside the camp, they got him on one of the horses and carried him to our forces. The gentleman whom they rescued is named Withers, a member of the Rockbridge Cavalry, it is due to the 3'oung ladies to state that they never saw iMr Withers before they rescued him. The ladies were completely exhausted when they arrived at our camp. The severe trials and hard ships through which they had passed the cold that they had contracted by riding in a very hard rain, produced a very serious illness, from which they have not entirely recovered at the present time. I forgot to mention that after the enemy had learned of this exploit. Co Kelley. their commander, immediately offered a thousand dollars reward for their capture. The Richmond Dispatch, of the 17th instant. announces the arrival of these heroic ladies in that city. They had an interview with Governor Lelchtr, who requested them to make the Execu tive mansion their home during their stay in the city. I'he names of these ladies are : Miss Molhe McLeod and 31iss Abbie Kerr. Dei? Rivf.r Coal. We are glad to learn that the Kgypt shaft, under the management of Win. McClane, Esq., has been completely refitted, wi'h proper ventiluting fixtures, and will be read' to i ..1 r f commence mining this day, at tne rate ot iroui fifty to two hundred tons a day, according to the demand. A co il dealer from Charleston has gone to the mine, desirous to make arrangements lor ten or fifteen thousand tons of coal, to be transported two miles by wagon, then to this place by the Western railroad, and hence by boat to Wilmington, and by the Wilmington and Manchester and iWtheasteru roads. We hope some means will be devised to extend the railroad further into the coal and iron region, and to develop the minerals abounding there. Tagctteiilfo OLsercer. Captivate them. The Lincolnites are very fond of talking about hanging the ,4rebels." Two can play at that game. We ought to hare Mr. Major Robert Anderson, and Mr. Captain Djuble day, and all the other pet birds from Sumter, so that if a hair of one of the humblest soldiers was touched contrary to the usages of civilized warfare, we could hang Messrs Anderson & Company. By early attention to laving in a stock of birds to serve : as loot! tor hemp, we can ffjon cake tocse people haul in their horns. PROM PENSACOLA. A gentleman writing from Pensacola, Fla.f in the neighborhood ot Fort Pickens, says : "Fort Pickens and the immense works by which it is surrounded arc particular objects of interest. PortnlA From t)ia mnaf n. .t-rj nf ttt. ; fnMU Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and ev.n j Virginia, come by every train and return with all sorts of speculations. They all, of course, feel very bad that the bombardment did not take place while they were thero to see it, but then the con fidence gained from personal observation, that "we can take the place when we please," somewhat mollifies their feeling. . The statu quo at Pensacola will be preserved for the present; but how long will probably de pend on the movements of the enemy. And this is doubtless wise. We lone nothing by delay, and may gain much. We are daily strengthening our batteries and position ; our brave citizen soldiers are every day becoming better disciplined and better prepared, though always ready. In the meantime we employ and keep in check outside 7 of the most effective ships of the U. S. Navy and several large transports. They cannot be better employed for us or at a cheaper rate. On the other hand the enemy gain no advantage by our delay. They already find great difficulty iu procuring provisions, water, &c. Santa Ilosa ia a barren, desolate, pun-burnt island of sand. Noth ing but brackish water is found thereon, and scarcely a thing that man or beast can eat. The health of the men in the Fort is already seriously affected, and it would not be fturpriding if the works outside the fort had ultimately to be aban doned. We have it iu our hands, holding, as we do, the destiny of the place, to take any advantage of the false movements or dispersion of the fleet. Providence certainly favored us at Charleston, and should a storm occur at Pensacola as there, pre venting the participation of this formidable fleet of vessels in the fight, we may take Pickens without the loss of a single man. Should the blessing of Heaven so favor us, we should also save millions of valuable property, the Navy Yard, village of Warrington, and perhaps the principal forts them selves. Without the co-operation of the fleet, Pickens would have enough to do to take care of itself, and the shot and shell from five miles of batteries would soon make that, like Sumter, un tenable. These are the opinions I have formed from personal observation. A Flag for the First Regiment. The ladies of this place are engaged in getting up a Flag, such as may be worthy of the acceptance of the glorious First Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers. The funds have been provided, and the flag will soon be made up by the ladies them selves. Fuy. Observer. The Stay Law. We see it stated that Mr Biggs, in some remarks made in Convention a few days ago, said that the Supreme Court of North Carolina now in session has pronounced the Stay Law of the last Legislature unconstitutional. AnniYAL. Col. Adler, who led a regiment un der Garibaldi in Italy last year, ha arrived in Richmond, for the purpose of offering his services to the "Confederate Government. Strong efforts were made to induce him to enter the army at the North, but he preferred to fight for a free people, and has, therefore, after encountering various dif ficulties succeeded in reaching Virginia. He ex hibits scars received in battle under his distin guished chief in Europe and is ready now to de fend a people who are here engaged in a struggle for independence. Ilis interview with Gens. Beau regard, Bonham, and others, in the neighborhood of Manassas, are represented to have been highly gratifying. - Virginia Railroads. It may interest our readers to keep the Mlowing for reference: The railroads running into Alexandria are the Orange and Alexandria Road, which connects with Richmond. Lynchburg, and so on through the entire South ; the Manassas Gap Road ; the Alexandria, Loudon and Hampshire Road, and the Washington Road. Manassas Gap is the junction of he railroads leading to Harper's Ferry, Aquia Creek and uichmond. lhe following table shows the distances from Alexnndria to some of the prin cipal stations : Springfield 9; Fairfax Court House, 14; Union Mills, 23; Manassas Gap, 27; Bristol, 31; Catlcrs, 38; Warrington Junction, 41; Beale- ton, 47; Uappahannock, 51; Brandy. 56; Culpeper Court House, G2; Mitchell's 69 ; Rapidann, 74; Orange Court House, 80; Madison, 84; Gordons ville, 8; Charlottesville. 109; North Garden, 120; Covesville, 125; Hock fish 133; Lovingston, 140; Arlington, 145; New Glasgow, 152; Amherst Court House, 15S; Mclver's, 164; Lynchburg, 171. Cincinnati. The Gazette (black republican gives a gloomy account ot things in that city, winding up as follow : It is no uncommon occurrence to hear a mer chant pork-packer or general business man say. be would willingly give SliU.UUU to oU,JUU to be placed just where he was before the commence ment of the civil war. There is on appeal in the Cincinnati News, of a late issue, addressed to the City Council, calling upon them to adopt measures for the relief of their starving population, and expressing tne astonish ment of the editors that the people have been able, under all the distresses, to avoid breaking out in violent measures to obtain bread for their starving families. Camp Jokes. It is said that Gen. Magrudcr, in command at Yorktown, is not a member of the tcmperanne society, and the boys, wfo are some times rather dry, have not failed to discover that fact and perhaps to speak pretty freely of it some- times. Amonjt these was private Winenip "uea- mtn of this town. Oo the day after Steduian bad performed an act of great gallantry iu the scout ing party from Bethel Church, he wa confounded at a peremptory order to appear before the Gen eral, enforced by section of soldiers, lie was unable to decide whether he was to be shot or reprimanded, till he reached the General's tent and was aternly addressed thus : " Private Sted uian, I understand (hat you have said that old Magruder drinks all the liquor in Yorktown, and ' won t let you have a orop. xcu shall say so no longer, sir. Walk in and take a drink. 1 com mend you for your bravery .--Fay. Observer. YEARLY COST. OP THE WAR. The New York Journal of Commerce is engag ed in "counting the cost" of the ar per year. It assumes there will be while the war lasts, in the pay of the United States, over and above its reg ular army and navy establishments, no less than 215,000 soldiers and 18,000 sailors. With these data as a basis of calculation, it figures out the proximate yearly cost of the campaign as follows: The annual pay of an infantry regiment of 780 men, from the Colonel down to the drummer boys, including officers' ration?, which are commuted for in monsy, is over $148,000: at which, in round numbers, we will estimate it. In the dragoon ser vice, to which a portion of the increased regular army will be assigned, the privates' pay is $1 a month more than in the infantry; but of that small difference we will make no counts. Multiplying the number of regiments in the increased army (275) by the annual pay of one, and we find for salaries alone, the item of 840,700,000 a year. The annual ay of 18.000 seamen, at 312 a month, is $2,592,000 making the total for both branch es of the increased service 843,292,000. Volunteers having been placed on the same foot ing, as to clothing, as the regular army, we learn frotn the table of articles and standard prices pub lished in this paper several days ago, that each infantry private is entitled to 832 worth of cloth ing yearly. The cost for the firit year alone is much higher than that, but we proceed upon tho supposition that the soldiers are to be under pay at least "three years" 'the minimum term fixed by the President in his second levy. Leaving out the officers, who furnish their own uniforms, we find that tho yearly cost of clothing our soldiers in this war will be 86,160,000. For guns, knap sacks, and armament complete, a moderate esti mate would be 820 a man for tho war, making a total outlay on those accounts of $3,850,000. The lowest average cost of ration for our army and navy, during the war, will be 20 cents a day. Circumstances may make it far above that; but even at that low figure, the yearly board of extra soldiers and sailors will be 315.730,000. In this calculation officers' rations arc not counted, as they are included in the item of salaries. The cost of transporting troops by land and by sea, of chartering steam boats to assist in the block ade, of providing coal and other necessaries, can not be safely estimated, but it is safe to put it at 81,000,000 a month, or 812,000,000 a ear. Omitting from our estimate the probable cost of medicines and hospital attendance, ambulances, ! bagg:ig'3-wagons, ammunition for cannon and rifles a large item and all the other incidental ex- . penses, which can only be guessed at, we foot up the yearly totals as fallows: Pay of 215.000 soldier?, 840,700,000 do 18,000 sailors, 2.592,000 Soldier's clothing, 6.160,000 Soldiers' arms for tho war, 3.850,000 Rations for soldiers and sailors, 15,730,000 Transportation and extra naval service for blockade, 12,000,000 Items omitted, or contingent, includ ing pickings and stealings, commis sions, Sic, 50,000,000 Total, $131,032,000 Then add 550,000,000 for the ordinary expenses of Government, and we have a total of 8181,032, 000 per annum. Call it $200,000,000, and we shall probably be pretty near the mark. Thi is more than half a million a day. Some have estimated our total expenses at a million a day; but this, we are inclined to think, is an exaggera tion. Yet large as the present outlay must necessarily be, it is more likely to bo increased than dimin ished, from year to ye&r, so long as the war lasts. There will soon be a large body of men unavaila ble; such as the disabled, the sick and the lazy, who must be provided for at a cost quite equal to that required for troops in our active service. In the present condition of the revenue, the necessity seems inevitable of creating a large public debt, to be discharged by the next succeeding generations. The Good News from Cherokee. We have patiently waited for a correct account of the mili tary proceedings of Cherokee and with heartfelt pleasure wc now announce that Capt. Geo. VV. Hayes, with whom to will is to accomplish, has a Cavarly Company numbering some 100. This has been accomplished by the unconquerable de termination of Capt. Hayes. He came home front tho adjournment of the Legislature, and by attend ing the company musters of all the companies in the county, speaking almost every day and almost entirely neglecting his own private business, now has a fine, large company at the service of the Staio. All honor to Geo. W. Hayes. Capt. Francis also has a company of infantry ready to march at an hour's notice. We learn that there are over a hundred volunteers in Cherokee who are not yet organized. They too will soon be ready for service and then we can exultingly say that Jackson, Macon and Cherokee, though small and insignificant in the eyes of many, have turned out nearly 1000 men in defence of the righteous cause in which the South is engaged. -an'i (V 6'.) Carolinian. Sensible Views. The ChsrloUville corres pondent of the Charleston Courier, who met Got. Wise on his way to the West, say he was struek with an observation made by that gentleman up on the best mode of dealing with undisciplined volunteers, yet skilled as marksmen, such as he will have chiefly to rely on in his operations. lie laid great mischief would reach from making them believe they could do nothing without drill, when there was no true to drill them thoroughly. He desired to just get them organized, so as to prevent confusion, and then he would tell them he waotid them always to go where he told them to, and standi fast till they were bidden to move, and that it would make very little difference whether they could shoulder arms according to rule, provided they cosld shoot st a man and hit hitn. With a few disciplined soldiers to support them, be will make these mountain men fight to some purpose. Pcttio Dow.i tiic Brakes. The President of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad gives notice that under no circumstances will the interest on the company's bonds, held in New York, be paid.
