Gen. Holmes, as our reader.s know, has been in command ot the army ou tlie lower I’otomac and under his direction the various batteries at Acquia creek, and above and below that point, have been erec ted. We have received from an officer in the liHth Regi ment N. C.

The writer takes offence at this, and contrasts the treatment of his men at Wilmington witli the kind attentions bestowed ou them at High Point, where they were encamped when ordered to Wilmington. We must doclim; to publish the comniunicalion, (though the olH- cer authorizes us to attach his name to it,) for the rea eon that we tliink no good could be done by crimina tion and recrimination; and we only publish this notice of it with a view to call the attention of those interested to the propriety of seeing to it that there be no just cause of complaint either by or of tiie volunteers who liave gone ;o Wilmington trom the mountains to defend the •State, and particularly that section of it.

Iron. We casually heard, a few days ago, that (he great establinliment in Richmond, the Tredegar Works, where a thousand or two men are said be employed in making cannon, steam engines, and a hundred other things indispen.sable to our Southern Confederacy, is but indifferently supplied with iron, and has to send all over the country, even to New Orleans, to purchase up 1 the pig iron needed for its furnaces, paying ^^10 a ton for what is generally worth but $20. If (his be so, why do not capitalists, here and in Chatham, at once put up more iron works on Deep River, and thus supply a great want of the country, de velop the woalih of that wonderful region, and at the =ame time enrieh themsolves? The cost of the works necessary to make the pig iron is but a few thousands, we believe, and the time required to erect them not much. The manufacture of pig iron will undoubtedly lead to the higher branches of iron manufacture—that i is, if our jieople h:ive half the energy necessary to con- ; stitute a self-reliant and independent nation. j AV hy may we not h.'^ve works of this kind in Faj'ette- i ville’’ The ore can be brought here, as we have often seen 1 many car loails of it carried info Baltimore from a dis tance.

It is significant of the downfall of liincoln, tho Republican party, and the United Slates government, all of which will undergo a trial during (he ensuing .six months from which we do not believe they can conic out safely. Strangely enough, the Times anticijiates tho trouble, the rebellion, from the abolitionists, for wl.om, it appears, Lincoln is not ultra enough. But there will be other troublesome elements 'nesides the abolitionists. There will be the starving men, women and children of the cities, the widows and orphans of the kilied in battle, the ricfi men made poor, the Demo crats who wish again to get into power, and i>erhajis above all these, the people of the great Noithwest.

I imposed by the Confederate tax law. will grow till it becomes an overwhelming torrent, that will sweep Lincoln and all before it. We make the following extract from the Times’s ar- t icle: — ‘•The symptoms of a mutinous and seditious spirit against the (Jovernment are daily and hourly develop ing themselves at the North, in tlie radical wing of the Repuhlican party and among the Abolitionists of the true-blue stripe. Both tactions, liaving been separated by only the breadth 0? a hair, or the ditferencc between tweedle dum and tweedle-dee, are now cordially united in opposition to the I’resident, whose manly letter to Fri-mont is the occasion for the opening of a general fire u{ion him, from the big sixty-four jiounders down to the pop-gnns. Even the telegraph at St. Louis is used to spread mutiny through the North. Under these cir cumstances it is the duty of the conservative elements to come forward and sustain .Mr. Lincoln and denounce the Abolition traitors, who are (he prime cause of the present misfortunes of the country, and are doing their worst to render permanent the mischief they have wrought. The Government itself, consulting its own safety, ought to seize and incarcerate the leaders, who are a thousand times more dangerous than the editors of Northern papers sj’uipaihizing widi (he Southern re bellion, and opposing the war for the Union. Tlie Se cession heresy never had any strength at the North, and it is now completely squelched here by tlie vigorous ac tion of the Government; but a more formidable and afar more extensive ilisunion element openly defies the President, spits upon and execrates the Con-iiitution, which is the t>ond of the Union, and threatens to sub vert our whole political system, (urning it either into a consolitlated military despotism or into a .Mexican an archy, in which numerous petty chieftains will eacli play an independent part. . • We now warn .Mr. Lincoln that there is a disaffec tion (0 his (iovernnient in his own party at the North; that it is every day gaining strength, and that unless he speedily c^'ushes it, it is very likely soon tocrusfi him and betray the cause of the Union into the hands of its Southern foes. “If the policy of the red revolutionary republicans prevailed, and the (Jovernment were wwak enough to succumb to it and endorse such proclamations as Fre mont’s, or issue others to the same effect, the North would become a divided instead of a united people, and the South would become so thoroughly united that it would be as easy to find a white crow as a Union man beyond the Delaware and the Ohio. When the war commenced, no sane, well informed man hoped for the success of our arms, unless upon the basis of a Union element in the Southern States, which would become developed as our armies advanced. The malignity of abolitionism seeks to destroy that elemenl and convert it in(o one of hostility. “Already great evil has been done by the pro'clama- tion of Gen. Fremont in .Missouri. We have the testi mony of Rev. Mr. Olmstead, pastor of the Baptist (Jhiirch at Booneville, in a letter in a Chicago Republi can journal. that “the whole country in Norihwestern .Misiouri is up and flocking by hundreds to Price’s camp, (heir arms being of every description; that the whole force of the rebels marching from various points against (he Union army will amou-ii from liO,tH.H) to men, and his opinion is that the only hope is to fall back, concentrate, entrench, and act on the defen sive!

Think of the sorrow of that poor mother’s heart; and yet «he seemed cheerful and contented. But in the event of an engagement she could scarcely expect all to escape uiihurt. Another Lady was here who had seven sons in the war, and was on her way to visit them all, at their diflTerent camps. I ihoughl of your dear mother. What would become of her if she had as many loved ones exposed to danger? Y«t I have no doubt she suffers as much with her one as these mothers with their seven and eight.

All letters ad dressed to our soldiers should be directed to the person in a legible hand, with the name ot his company and the name of his regiment and his proper post office. At any rate the name of his Colonel and the number of the regiment and State to which it belongs must be plainly written. Ral. Standard. TO ADVERTISERS.

HECTOR McNEILL, Sh’fl. Gen. Mansfield is said to have arrived at Hatter.as. It is supposed that the placing of so able and high an oflicer of (he regular U. S. army al (hat poin( indicates a determination to make extensive assaults upon our coast. A large naval and military force is collecting at Old Point and Annapolis. The Fremont squabble grows in inten^sl and import ance, even to the apprehension that his friends will sot him up as the head of a third Republic, The West is evidently the section of the remainder of the United Stales. It has the territory and the population, and is growing, whilst the Atlantic States will wither under ihe loss of the South, and the secession of the Wesi would give it a finishing blow. Another (Jompauy from Union.—Another volunteer company has been made up in Union county, called the “lledwine Beauregards/’ and the following officers elected: Dr. T. W. Redwinc, ’nptain; J. H. ^^’arwick. 1st Lieut.; 11. X. Aiaiiii, 2d Lieut.; S. G. liowie, 3d Lieut. iJharlotte Democrat. Th> linttle of tireenbrirr Rtrer.—(ien. Jackson’s cf- ficiiil report of his signal repulse of Gen. Re3’nolds on the 8d inst., is published. The casualties on our side were •> privates killed, 4 officers, 4 non-commissioned officers .and 28 privates wounded, and 1 non-commis sioned officer and 12 privates missing. Tot.al 5(1. Tlie enemy's loss is estimated bj- Gen. JacKson at 230 to 80>, including an officer of high rank. The Cincinnati federal account pretends that the af fair was only a reconnoissance, in which tliey hadolHH) men and the Confederates —(8,RMJ magnified into lu,(,HM))—and pretend that our loss must have been •jK) killed and wounded, while they s.ay their own was but 10 killed and 11 wounded. If they beat us so bad ly, why did they run away, leaving many things, even to a regimental flag, upon the field? -4 new feature of the War.—We are credibly informed that an examination of the trunks, &c., of the Indiana Regiment, recently captured at Chickamackomack, brought a large number of counterfeit notes on the bank of Camden, S. C., to light. These were printed from genuine plates, and arc of the denomination of 5's, lO’s and 20's. Some are sign ed (forged of course) and others are not. This revelation of villainy developes a new feature of the war, which there is much reason to believe was de signed to be general. Most, if not all, of our bank-notes have heretofore been printed at the North, and the ptates are yet in their possession. From these plates numer ous notes are to be printed and falsely signed, and to be circulated among our people wherever the Vandals can get a foot-hold.—Norfolk Day Book. An Incident of Gilham's i/etreat.—We learn that a fa tal casualty attended the retreat of Col. Gilham’s com mand from Valley Mountain to Eura. A wagon, con taining five sick soldiers belonging to a North Carolina regiment, was swejtl away while attempting to ford a swollen stream, and all five of the soldiers, together with the driver, were drowned. — Rich.

The Government was the largest purchaser. Charleston .Vrcury, loth. LATER FROM EUROPE. Farther Point, Oct H.—The Norwegian has arrived. She brings dales from Liverpool lo the 27th Sept. The Paris Patrie denies, but English journals reas sert, that France ami Spain intend to intervene in the affairs of Mexico. The London Times says the inter vention is with the full concurrence of the American Government. The issue of notices for the adoption of short time in working hours in the Lancaster mills is daily becoming more general. Under these circumstances, spinners and manufacturers are showing an increased confidence, and abstain from pressing their goods on the market until prices rise in proportion tothe value of the raw material. The oity .'irtiele. in the London Times, announces the continued decline in the funds to the feeling and dis quiet of the prospects of the operatives in Xlanctiester the coming winter, under Itie influence which the par tial susjiensiou of the cotton trade will have upon their revenues. London funds continued to droop. Consols declined ^d. on (he 25th. Liverpool. Sej>t. 21.—The sales of cotton for three days, ending Wednesday, were 85.0K) bales.

The advices from Manchester were f«vorrvl)le and prices for all goods were slightly higher, though sales were small. Liverpool. Sept. 27.—Sales of cotton to-day estimated at 2J,0M) bales.

It is reported that Wise’s Legion is ordered to North Carolina. We believe that the report is founded upon fact.

A Strnnijv Vi^itvr.— It is said several persons saw on Sunday morning last, about 5 o’clock, a largo balloon passing over this city at a moderate speed, towards the South. It is described as be ing well lighted up, not very high, with flags, etc., and with at least four persons in it. It is also reported that another was seen on Monday morning or Sunday night. We are unable to ac count for it, yet it is not impossible that the aero nauts of the Potomac or Old IViint may have been driven by current,s of air beyond their moor ings. We know that Professor Jjowe was only a few months ago driven from Cincinnati to South (’arolina. If the four aeronauts should prove to be I’rof Lowe, Abe Lincoln, Billy Seward and Jen. McClellan, and should alight between this and the South Carolina line, we should rejoice. ]j00k out for them.—Ralfiijh Stnifnrd.

The Cotton Planters’ Convention will meet here to-day, and the delegates arc invited to seats in tiie Commercial (Convention. Macon, Ga., (Jet. 13.—The Cot ton Planters’ and Com mercial ('onventions to-day merged into one. The Com mittee ou Commerce and Finance submitted resolutions recommending a mcdification of the sejuestration act, which was laid on the talile until to-moirow; also, a re solution recommending insurance companies to take risks oil cotton stored in interior towns and on planta- lioTi-j. which was adopted unanimously. -\ resolution declaring llie proposed issue of treasury notes, and the present bank note currency, under the resolutions of the banks to advance to planters, will furni.^h Jin adequate circulation for the country. To tills sundry amendments and substitutes were proposed, looking lo a Government advance on produce in treasu ry notes and bonds, which are now subjects of interest ing iliscussion by numerous speakers. Convention ad journed until to-night. Discussion pending. dood Tliinij in Leather.—Mr. Isaac Bier- tield, of Newberry, has received a patent—and we believe the first issued to a South Carolinian—for an important invention and improvement in Tan- iiing In the words of the Newberry Sun, we say: “The ingredients used in this new process make the Leather tine and close. The specimeas he has exhibited to us are of a fine polish, and remarka bly weighty and pliant. Mr. Bierfield has al- leudy disposed ol a large juantity of Leather tanned by the new process, which has given gen eral .satisfaction. He tells us that he has found that he can tan leather from 40 to (>0 per cent, cheaper than heretofore. That light stocks can be tanned in from fifteen to forty days, and heavy tocks ill proportion. We consider this new pro cess of Mr. Bierfield of great and decided utility to tanners. Bark, in many sections, is becoming scarce and dear, and the weed used by Mr. liier- field (the Kupatorium Foenicalueceum, or Dog Fennel,) can be obtained in great abundance. He will dispose of rights either by States or L>is- tricts.’’ Mr. Bierfield has placed in the (’ourier office several specimens of his Leather. There is one side of “upper” thick, which was done in sixty days; one specimen of’ “welt,” reijuiring about the same time, and two specimens of “calf” done in founeeti days. The process has been thoroughly tested with all kinds of hides and skins, and the Ijcather has been well tried in use by many citizens of New berry. Many sides have been purchased and sold by Mr. Voigt, Market-street, an experienced dealer, to whom we may refer. Charleston Courier. iWotice to l§oldier»i’ Friends.
