csfcrn moctat. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. Tuesday, October 91, 18G2. THE NEWS. The latest new in another column is interesting; though not very definite. The most reliable news re ceived confirms the defeat ef the Lincoln army under Buell by Gen. Bragg. It is reported that the yankee troops have evacuated Corinth. There is nothing new from the Virginia army. Both armies appear to be quiet. Stuart's expedition into Pennjlvania was very successful, and greatly alarmed the Lincolniles. Lincoln called bis Cabinet together and summoned bis Generals to attend to consult at to what should be done. Northern papers confess that Smart, Lee and Jackson are too smart for their Gen'ls. As might have been expected, the abolitionists were successful in the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania n Tuesday last. In New York the democrats and old line whig? are making a powerful effort to defeat the abolition ticket next month. IMPORTANT ARRIVAL We learn that the steam er Leopold arrived at Charleston on Saturday last with a valuable cargo for the Government shoes, ammuni tion, &c. IMPORTANT. We direct e.pccial attention to the Appeals of Got. Vtrnce and others in another column, in behalf of our soldiers. Unless the people at borne act promptly and energetically our brave soldiers in the field this winter will suffer almost unendurable hard ships. Every man and woman in the State can do something towards relieving the wants of our gallnnt defenders. Let the good work be commenced imme diately. Got. Vance has appointed the militia Colonels and Captains in the various counties to attend to the col lection of clothing and blankets. Read the Governor's patriotic appeal and al?o a communication in to-days' paper, and then sea if yoi: can refue to give a blanket or a piir of sorks. Don't wtut to be called on by the collector, but bring the donations forward imme diately. Rather SEi.nsn. The Virginia Legislature, at its late tension, parsed an act fur supplying the people of that State with Salt, and under that act Gov. Letcher h is published regulations to be observed in regard to the Salt-Works of that State, which may and will be considered cel!ih and illiberal. The Governor directs that all Salt manufactured in the counties of Saiythc and Washington, on hand at the time of the pass age of the act, or hereafter made, shall be held to belong to the State of Virginia, until notice be given to the contrary; and all tiam-portation of Salt from the State by canal, railroad or by individuals, is j prohibited until the Slate of Yiruinia it swrlied An I exemption is made in favor of contracts alreKcIy cn- tered into with the proprietors of the works, provided j there is enough salt to supply the wants of Virginia, but if the supply should be insufficient, then the con- i tracts with other States are to be annulled and disre- i garded. The regulations show a spirit of selfishness j Rai Effect. The giowlings and complainings of that we hardly expected to see exhibited even by the ' gudl v,l?ers as the Richmond Examiner ami Charleston Virginia authorities, and are unjust and unneighborly. j Mercuty nftWd the enemies of the Confederacy a great We hope there may be no occasion to enforce these deiil of jeligbt. The Northern press copy copious ex nican regulations, but if Gov. Letcher does enforce j tratts from those papers to prove that the people of them and prevents the fulfillment cf contracts with the tl)e Soulu are dissatisfied with their Government, and States of North Carolina, Georgia, &c, an indignation J that we re g0ag t0 pieces from internal distentions, will be aroused against Virginia that will never be i , , . . , ,, n , flui. Ci n DTn iao o ra rlnnfirml w fh kttniinl)P nnn ter- forgotten. The action of the Virginia Lesislatuie and Governor exhibits a discreditable spirit, uubecoming a great State. We must all sink or swim together in this crisis, and State at least should be liberal to wards each other. The citizens of Charlotte held a meeting on Monday to make arrangements to afford relief to tbe people of Wilmington. A resolution was passed requesting the Pastors of tbe several congregati. ns in the Town and County to take up a collection on Sunday next in provisions or money and forward the same to J L Brown at Charlotte OrriccBB to be dropped. Col. Alfred Iverson, of the 20th N. C. Regiment, publishes a letter in the Wil mington Journal, stating that Gen. D. II. Hill has called for the names of all officers who have been ab- sent from their regiments for an unusual length of ' time, in order that they may be recommejded to be droineit. Si-vpral nnmeft hire hpen cn1 in frnm ttii 30th N. C. V., and more will be forwarded if the offi cers now absent do not report in a satisfactory man ner immediately. Charges are to be preferred against all soldiers who cannot furnish full and complete tcsti-I mony for the necessity of their continued absence. j Col. Iverson says: "Every one in the army knows j that if half the absentees who were able to foiue to u. from borne had been present, the battle of Sharps- burk would have resulted in a decisive victory for us, ind our troops before this would have overrun Mary land." Yillow Fever. The epidemic still prevaijs to a terrible extent in Wilmington. On Monday, the 13th, there were 87 new cases, on Tuesday 74, and on Wed nesday 86. During these three days there were about 15 death per day. This increase was caused by nn unfavorable change of the weather. Among the deaths we notice the names of Rev. Dr. urane, pastor ot the episcopal Luurch; t.eo.

Owing ( to the disturbed condition of the country, and the in- '. clement weather of tbe early part of the week, the j attendance was not as large as usual, though tbe J meeting was an interesting and cheering one. During the sessions, interesting speeches were made by Prof. Sterling of Greensboro, Prof. Smythe of Lexington, and others. On Tuesday evening, Wm. M. Cole man, Esq., of Concord, delivered before the Associa tion and a large audience of ladies and gentlemen, an excellent Address on the importance of fostering Com mon Schools in North Carolina and the duty of the State to assist in the good work. The Association requested a copy of the Address for publication. That tealons and indefatigable friend of Common Schools. Rev. C. II. Wilev. was present an-1 assisted in adopting measures for promoting the cause of educa- I tion. The thanks of the Association were lendered to Mr. Wiley for the faithful and satisfactory manner in which he has discharged his duties as Superintendent of Common Schools. No man is more deserving of the gratitude of the people of this State than Mr. Wiley. He is a good man aud faithful public servant. The following gentlemen were elected officers for the enaiiiug year : President Prof. Saml. Lander, oflligh Point. Vice Prciidents Rev. T. M. Jones of Greensboro; L. Blackmer, Esq., of Salisbury; Prof. F. M. Hubbard, of Chapel Hill; Prof. D. S. Richardson, of Wilson; Rev. Dr. J. L. Kirkpatrick, of Mecklenburg; Prof. Graves, of Sampson. Recording Sec'y J. D. Campbell, of Greensboro. Cor. Sec'y W. J. Palmer, of Raleigh. A Committee of seven was Appointed to issue an Address to the people of the Confederacy in regard to encouraging Southern Literature and festering the production of Southern School Rooks. Wc learn that the committee consists of His Excellency, Z. B.Vance, Rev. C. II. Wiley, Rev. R. N. Davis, Wm. Johnston, A. W. Burton, E. J. Ckmmer and W. J. Yates. Resolutions of thanks to the citizens of Lincolnton for the hospitable manner in which they entertained the delegates, were passed; also to the Railroad com panies for the usual accommodations afforded the members of the Association. During the discussions in the Association, the grati fying fact was made known thBt the want of School Books in this State wad being supplied to some extent by North Carolina authors. Professors Sterling and Campbell, of Greensboro, have already issued several thousand copies of two readers and a Spelling Book, and we learn that the demand is so great for these books that they are unable to supply it at present. Prof. Smythe, of Lexington, has issued a Grammar which has alio met with good sale and great demand. Prof. Lander, of High Point, has in process of publi cation an Arithmetic which we feel certain will both gratify and satisfy the Southern public when it is put in the market All these books are gotten up in good style, considering the scarcity of printing materials at this time. Th( authors deserve the thanks of the dco- - . ! pie of the South, and we do hope they will continue j to receive the encouragement and patronage of all i who feel the importance of fostering Southern litera- J u,rc lrt erence 10 me uuseraute incwiuiar, puou I cations of the North.

If the Yankees knew the facts, as they are known in the South, viz: that such papers as the Richmond Examiner and Charleston Mercury do not represent the sentiment of our people, they would not be disposed to take so much comfort from them. The growlers and fault finders have not the sympathy of the Southern people and exert little or no influence in their immediate sec tions or anywhere else in the South. Socth Carolina. An election for members of the Legislature of South Carolina was held on the I4th inst. In the Columbia District, E. J. Arthur was elected Senator, and Dr. John Wallace, Itnftis M. John ston. C. R.

The enemy then landed about 3,500 men, and were again repulsed. The affair was so creditable to our troops that Gen. French is sued the following complimentary orders : Head Quarters, District of N.

Congress, before it adjourned, passed a bill in regard to funding Con federate notes. We hare not seen the law in full, but i we know it provides that the notes may be exchanged for (or funded in) 8 per cent Bonds until the 1st of r December after that lime, they are fundable in 7 per ; cent Bonds. We presume the object of tbe bill is to decrease tbe amount of notes ia circulation, which, if attained, will have a good effect. We are sorry Congress did1 not pass a heavy tax bill, and in that way draw in a large quantity of the Con federate currency. Death or Gin. Ahdkbsox. Brig. Gen. George B. Anderson, of North Carolina, died in Raleigh on Thurs day last, from the effects of a wound received at Sharpsburg. He was wounded in the foot, nd it was supposed at first to be slight, but becoming mere and more painful, it was discovered that the ball was still in the foot, and was removed by Dr. Johnson on Wednesday last. Erisypelas supervened ; and the General lived but a few hours after the performance of the operation. Gen. Anderson entered the service as Colonel of the 4th N. C. Regiment, and was promoted to a Brigadier Generalship. He was a fine officer and much loved by his men. He was 32 years old, and his "death is sin cerely regretted. The Raleigh Register, speaking of the death of Gen. Anderson, says: 'Gen. A. was educated at the West Point Military Academy, and graduated with distinction. Upon leav ing West Point be entered the U. S. Army as Lieuten ant in the 2d Cavalry. In the beginning of our pres ent troubles he resigned his position in the Federal army, aud we believe he was the very first man who tendered his services to his native State through the lamented Governor Ellis. . On the night before his death, Gen. Anderson was delirious, and fancied himself in battle. Such ex pressions as the following, and many others of kindred spirit, escaped him. "Sergeant! attend to it, that these men do their duty." "I most decidedly disap prove of that line falling back." '-It must be done. It is the order of Gen. Hill." Raising himself up on his arm, he exclaimed, vehemently: "Here they are," and seemed ready to dash at the foe, of which he was evidently dreaming. But his battle was with his last enemy, and for the first time be was conquered." JCrg"A serious accident occurred on the Virginia Central Railroad on Wednesday night last near Char lottesville. The train run over some cattle, precipita ting the cars down an embankment GO feet high. There were 800 soldiers and others on the train. Five soldiers and two negroes were instantly killed and about CO wounded. Richmond Mahket, Oct. 17.

The Yankee block ading vessels below Wilmington last week, approached pretty near the shore and fired on a party of Confed erate soldiers who were engaged in levelling the hills around Fort Caswell. Capt. Stair's Fayetteville bat tery planted two guus on the beach, and at the third shot sent a ball through the paddle-box of one of the vessels, disabling her and rendering the assistance of one of her consurts necessary. The two vesseis left the premises as fast as possible. A shot was thrown by our guns over the bow of one of the vessels five miles off, the projectile being in the air 28 seconds. Fort Caswell joined in the engagement and threw 6hot and shell in dangerous proximity to the enemy. Distinguished Arrival. John Mitchell, the Irish patriot, so well known to the people of the Confederate States, has arrived in Richmond, direct from Paris, where he has lived for the last three or four years. Mr. Mitchell, during his former residence in the South was the constant advocate of secession. His political sagacity long gaw and predicted the dismemberment of the Un ion. Mr. Mitchell has two sons, captains in the army, both of whom have greatly distinguished themselves in the recent battles. Arrested. A crazy fool or a wicked knave, named Bryan Tyson, of Browcr's Wills, Randolph county, was committed to jail in this city, last Wednesday. He has been publishing incendiary documents, it is alleged, and seems to have a sys tem in his madness. Let him be brought to his senses. It is conjectured that he has secret part ners in his fiendish foxk.--Jialti'h Journal, 18t. TnF. Ladies' Gunboat. A superb iron-clad boat, called the "Palmetto State," built jointly by the Confederate government and the ladies of South Carolina who contributed 30,000 of the cost, was duly "baptized" on Saturday last, in the presence of an immense concourse of ladies and citizens of Charleston and of the State. Colonel Richard Yeadon delivered the very appropriate address of the occasion, and Miss Sue L. Gelzer, who made the first contribution to the fund, broke the bottle of champagne over her bow. Another boat, the "Chicora," has also been built and equipped at Charleston, and came up from the lower bay to be present on the interest ing occasion. Official Mismanagement. An intelligent and observant gentleman remarked lately that at an auction recently held in this city five Govern ment agents were bidding against each other. Is it any wonder we have suffered from artificially forced prices under such a condition of commBka riat ? Charleston Courier. Yankee Outrages in Missouri. A friend in Memphis encloses the editors of the Appeal, published at Grenada, Miss., a letter from a gen tleman of veracity in St. Louis, exposing the out rages committed by the Federals in Missouri. They are bearing down upon the citizens with a much tighter rein, taking from them their farms, dwellings, and daily avocations, at pleasure, and for the s ightest cause. When the letter was written there were seven hundred and fifteen citi zens confined in the military prison, and nine tcnths of these -were arrested on mere suspicion. The letter alluded to says : "Iu short, our citizens are being murdered by hundreds, imprisoned by thousands, and this you may report as truth, and nothing but the truth, to the Confederate authori ties." Mr. J. A. David. Greenville. S. C offers w through the Charleston Courier, on behalf of our j. suffering and destitude soldiers in Virginia, a do nation of 81000 in leather or in monev. Ten such donations would comfortably shoe 1000 of our brave soldiers. Who will respond to Mr. David? . Capture of Whiskey. The Provost Mar shal's guard captured eight barrels of liquor at the uuutucru ueput yesieruay, woicu was utsin oui ped through to Bichmond from North Carolina. The barrels were nicely packed away iu and cov ered over with Irish potatoes. The party, an Irishman, who had charge of the liquor, was ar rested and placed in jail for a future examination. Petersburg Exjireu. For tht Western Democrats APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE, I be to call ronr attention to the sofferimr condi tion of oar brave soldiers in the army who are "baring; lucir oreasts to the roe." It is a tact, coming from so j many sources that it eannot be avoided or denied that ! Ik.. ... r l-.l .1 ill, . ' and when tbe cold winter come, (and it is already very j cold at the point where tbe most part of our army is ' at present stationed in Virginia,) almost devoid of clothes or blankets, and barefooted and 'actually cov ered with vermin consequent upon tbe want of a change : of clothing, can we expect they will be In a condition to fight our battles? and, besides, what suffering they ! must endure. Tbe Government is doubtless doing all it ran, but it is obvious that it will be utterly unable to meet the wants in this respect of onr brave boys in the field. Something mutt It done and at once; our peo ple must submit to furtner sacrifices and commence at once working for the soldiers as they have never done before. Already do we see from the Northern prints that they calculate to conquer ns by having deprived our army of blankets, clothing and shoes by their blockade, and that we shall not be able to furnish these articles at home, and the necessary consequence will be that we shall be forced to succumb. While we may be disposed to doubt calculations so confidently put forth, it cannot be disguised that unless our armies are fed and clothed, the result must finally be disastrous. We heve assurances that they will be fed. but we fear that unless great exertions are made by the people every where to aid the Government to clothe the army great suffering will inevitably take place, and the want of these most necessary articles may lead to disaster. The communication which appeared in the Savan nah Republican a few days ago from its regular cor respondent, P. Y. A., from tbe Headquarters of our army in Virginia, asserting most positively that a very large proportion of our army was nearly naked and barefooted, having but a small supply of. blankets, and are almost every way in a miserable condition, has produced an excitement in Georgia hardly ever known before, and Relief Associations and individuals are busy in preparing shoes, clothes and blankets for the troops from that State. Many are parting with their blankets for the poor soldier and using comforts, &c, at ' home, and where these are not to be had, individ uals are donating their carpets to be cut up for blank ets, shoes are btting made in the different counties and clothing made up, and stockings being knit, pre paratory to being sent on, and all are alive to the im portance of prompt action. Surely, it behooves us in the Old North State to he np and doing for our boys than whom none are braver, and who have shown by their action that none are more devoted to the cnuse, and more prepared to do and suffer for the honor of their native Slate. I had a conversation a few days ago with a Colonel, on -furlough, direct from the army, and he corroborates the report of the Savannah coriespondeut, and re marked that many of the soldiers needed every kind of clothing many had not a change since August, and the consequence was they were covered with vermin which they could not divest theni;-elves of, that a great many were barefooted, thit blankets were very scarce and totally insufficient to keep the troops in tolerable comfort, and unless aid was extended soon, he could not predict tbe consequences; that our boys needed everything but iudomitable bravery and ardent love of country; and concluded by saying, "give us food, clothes, s-hoes aud blankets, and we will take care of the Yankees." Citizens of North Carolina, will you not at once go to work in the different counties? Ladies! may we not appeal to you to net in this matter, an appeal which is never in vain. . Let the Ladies' Aid. societies work ns they have never worked before. Save all the leather you can, and if it cannot be made up send it on to Richmond for the Government shoemakers to make np; get all the blankets you can let the people use com forts; solicit contributions of clothing aud of money to purchase cloth even at present high prices, and let it be made np by the nimble fingers of the ladies and sent on to our soldiers from each county. Let each man spare what he can, as it will be impossible to raise too much or to send on too much. Never let it be said that we lost our liberty by supinetiess at home in supplying the wants of our brave defenders. All depends upon the result of the conflict liberty, home, property; indeed, everything. Is it not worth a sacrifice? Surely, we at home, who have not the heat and burden of the war to bear, should contribute freely of our substance to save the balance by aiding the toldier in every way in achieving our independence. Think, oh think, of the significancy of subjugation 1 We see the veil is removed, and what are we to expect if we fail. Let action ! then be the word. The time is short, and it is all important that we should be up and doing. B. Other papers please copy. In this county, on Monday morning 20th inst., at the residence of Mr David M. Lee, the Rev.

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE IN KENTUCKY. ILiBDoxsBuac, Kv.. October 10. Gen. Bragg's first Kentucky pitched battle was fought on the 8th Inst., atTerryville, ten miles hence. The enerav bad been following from Birdstown in force, and alo threaten, ed Frankfort. Withers' divi.ion was sent forward to support Get. Kirby Smith, while the divisions of Cheat ham, Buckner and Anderson were countermarched to give battle to the foe in the rear. Our line of battlt was formed right and left of Pike, and Commandiug the only accessible route. , The fight was opened with artillery at 6 A. SI. Gen. Bragg and Staff reached the ground about 9 o'clock. At 4 o'clock, a disposition for fight was shown on oar right, which movement was awaited in force, and Cheatham and Buckner posted to meet iu AtS o'clock, our troops advanced in splendid line, with Gen. Bragg's order to push along the whole line to close quarters. For one hour and a half the enemy maintained his ground bravely, in the face of a murderous firs of ar tillery and musketry. Our troops fought like heroes until tht enemy began to falter. With a shout our boys moved forward and drove the enemy three or four miles entirely off the field. Meantime an attempt on our left had been re pulsed. We captured tweniy-ono pieces of artillery and five or six hundred prisoners. For want of horses, only eight pieces were brought off. The returns are not in, but our casualties are estimated at 1,600, so far as ascertained. With one more division, the enemy would have been destroyed. Night put an end to the pursuit.' The en emy's loss is believed to be more tban double ours. Among their killed is Gen. Jtekson, and Gen. Critten den is reported killed. Gen. Bnell is commanding, and we have prisoners from five divisions, showing that they had thirty thousand men. We fought with only twelve thousand men. Our army is in the highest spirits. At Frankfort, the matter w s soon ended. The enemy, under Gea. MeCook, fled before Kirby Smith. Withers cut off his rear, taking 701) prisoners and 14 wagons. Another battle is at hand. Bragg's depot of supplies being menaced, he withdrew his army to protect them. The enemy immediately sent a flag of truce for permission to bury their dead. At daylight the next morning af ter the fight, not even a Yankee surgeon- was to be found on the field. Their wounded were all left. Our wounded' were removed the night of the battle. Gen. Polk had a narrow escape. At dusk he left bis staff and rode to stop a fire, as he thought, of a Con federate regiment on our troops.- He seized tbe Colo nel by the shoulder and demanded, "Why do yon fire on your friends ?" The Colonel ' replied that he did not know that he was. "Who are you?" said Polk. "Colonel of the 23d Indiana," was the reply. Polk agaiu spoke to him roughly, and ordered him to cease firing. Before the Yankees found out who he was .he put spurs to his horse and got away. The fvllowiug officers arc among the killed: Lieut. Col. Patterson, First Tennesnee ; Lieut. Col. Kvaos, Texas Rangers ; Major W. Price, of the Commissary Department; Capt. Cartwright, of Georgia; Wm. 8. May, of Gen. Claiborne's Staff. G-n. Bragg says he has got the best troops in the world. Ten thousand Ki-nt ockiani have taken arms, and more are organizing. Gen. McGuire's army has arrived. FURTHER FROM THE WEST. Mobile, Oct. 18. A special despatch, dated Senatu bia, 17th, says despatches of the 12th from Indianapolis to the Chicago Times says that intense excitement prevails there, caused by despatches from Gen. Boyle, saying that Bragg was in the roar of Buell, marching on Louisville. He urges Gov. Morton to s-nd him reinforcements, be having but 2,000 men at Louisville. The impression prevails at Louisville that Bwll was badly whipped. The excitement iu Cincinnati is intense. A gentleman who has just arrived from Corinth, says the enemy have evacuated Corinth; and Bolivar, Tenn., is reported evacuated. A despatch, dated Holly Springs, ICtb, says Lieut. General Pemberton, has assumed command of this de partment. Our burial party of three hundred, which went to Corinth, was seized and retained as prisoners. Cincinnati papers, of the 11th, are filled with accounts of the great battle between Generals Bragg and Buell. The tenor of their accounts is that Buell is badly de feated and driven across the Kentucky River. Also that Bragg is pursuing him vigorously. The Chattanooga Rebel has the following despatch : Lavergne, Oct. 17. All is uncertainty. I. believe the Yankees are leaving Nashville. . In addition to the above. I am satisfied something is going on. Letters from Bragg's army and from our friends in Nashville and Springfield, say that Buell's army is the worst whipped and badly cut up army of the war. No donbt but we gained a glorious victory. THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Miscellaneous officers who arrived from the Army of the Potomac on yesterday, report "all quiet along the lines" and no prospect of an immediate movement. Rumor had it that a portion of our army was on tbe move, but thus far we hare no confirmation of any such statement. It was rumored also that a severe skirmish had occurred near Charlestown, Va., in which the enemy was badly beaten. No particulars accom panied the report. Rich. Enquirer, of Saturday. NORTHERN NEWS. Richmond, Oct 18. The news from New York Is to the 15th. A dispatch from Louisville dated the 14:b, says the Confederates were recreating from camp Dick Robinson to Lancaster. Another dispatch says the Federal forces occupy Lexington, Ky, which the Con federates evacuated on the 13th. Gold in New York is quoted at 133. We don't suppose it could be bought by individuals for 150. j Cotton 61 ts per pound. The Pennsylvania and Ohio elections, which took place on Tuesday last, have resulted in favor of the abolitionists. In Ohio, Vallandigham has been defeat ed for Congress. The democrats were triumphant in the Newark city elections. At the Democratic meeting in New York, John Van Buren pronounced the Republican Administration the most contemptible Government on the face of the earth. His plan was that McCMlan 6hould move on to Rich mond; that then a convention should be called and onr Southern brethren invited to it. The Constitution should "then be altered, so that all should hereafter live in prace; and if the Sonth would not stay, h would say to them, Wayward sisters, depart in peace." The Democracy should not lose time in talking, and if the people called them traitors, just knock them down and go to the polls. They had been told that Southern people would not live, and in his judgment they ought not to live, nnder Aboli tion sway, and he would not live with them if thoy would. . FOREIGN NEWS. By the latest advices from Europe it is stated thst the Paris papers have again revived the recognition rumors. Foreign papers state that the Confederate steamer "290" had desttoyed ten yankee vessels. Gen. Van Dorn Superceded. Gen. Earl Van Dorn has been superceded in the command of the army recently engaged with the enemy at Corinth, and Major GencralJ. C. Pemberton as signed to the command of that portion of oar for ccs. We are not advised whether the loss of the battle at Corinth had anything to do with this change of commanders.
