On Tuesday morning, about 1 o'clock, a band
of deserters anil escaped Yankee priaomers, 15 in
aumber, and led by a Yankee naral oSoer,
attacked the house of lire. Dr. HeNair, in
TLolsnn firruntw. and. ailer enendirur naarlrJ- an
hoar in Ike attempt, forced aa entrance by break-
lag down the front door. Mr. Wm. Stanton, of
this County, was ataying at Ura. HeNair 's on
the eight in question, and being called bj tkat
lad j to bar assistance, eooa after tke attack torn
mencad, promptly u resorted for duty." An
exdting contest followed lira. HeNair and Hr.
Ctaaton both being provided with Colt's repeat
era and a rifle, which they used with atal effect ;
one of tke attacking party being killed and
another wounded in the breast. We regret to
learn tkat lift. HeNair was badly burned and
her face otherwise injured by fragmenta of glass
and powder. Mr ; Stanton waa also alightiy
wounded.
lira. HeNair and Mr. Stanton having ex J
, kausted their ammunition, tke Utter, at the
. urgent eelieltation of Hrs. HeNair (who feared
tke desperadoes would wreak Tengeanoe on kim
for the death of their comrade,) retired, aud she
remained alone X'j brave their fury. On ap
preaching her, the Yankee officer in command
was so struck with her bold and determinod
znivn, tkat, instead of harming her, he con grata
lated ker warmly on her heroic conduct, stating
tkat she waa the first person, man or woman,
who had offered any resistance to his band.
They carried off nearly all the valuables they
cdUt Cad, iss3fcg siSvemrare arid Jewelry, d2
thousand dollara in Confederate notes, and two
breastpins, containing the pictures of Mrs.
MeNaire husband and son ; the latter of whom
fell in defence of hia country en one of the battle
fields of Virginia. The courage and determine
tlon of this-noble woman savors more of romance
than reality, but the incidents given in this article
'are literally true. It carries one back to the
days of the Revolution, when the fearless women
of the Colonies performed so many feats of
wonderful daring. The example of Mrs. MoNair
is worthy, to be imitated by many , of the male
sax whose knees are smiting together, like
Belshaazar's, lest they be attacked by deserters
and other roving desperadoes. .

of tke 2nd, of complication between the United
Sutes tad 'Europe Becideo-the admission of
Seward and Lincoln, and t$? significant allusion,
in Seward's dispatch to Mr. Adams, to certain
negotiations with which he had to deal confi
dentially, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the lode
rai Senator front Maryland, lately in the United
States "Senate, made' the broad statement that
"advices, both public and private, indicate the
purpose of the Emperor to reoognixe the Con'
lederaoy, u tae re Demon waa no queuea wimm
a reasonable time." In addition U all this,
France still delays to send a minister to replace
Mr. Herder; and her diplomatic intercourse
with the United States on this. aide is suspended.
The meeting of the Privy Council of tke
Emperor, on the 4th ultimo, discloses an anxious
and vigilant observation, on the part of France,,
of the Federal movement!, and although the
Council abitaina from any present movement, it
recommends against the indulgence of a " false
security. " These complications are sure to
come, and they cannot much longer be delayed.
Lincoln says this is the reason his armies are
pressing to bring the Confederacy to ruin. This
should be'aa additional stimulant with us to
keep up our strength and vigor. All around,
save ln the gloom .and .despondency, which
revert ta and the acta of agitators are producing,
the prospects of our 'cause are encouraging. - We'
have opportunities now for signal and decisive
victories, which we have not heretofore had. . It
will be our own fault, and folly, if we do not
improve them. ' j

or. The Confederate Senate, on Thursday,
removed the injunction of aasrecy from tke pro
ceedings on the Senate bill, introduced by Mr.
Brown, of Hississippi, to provide for raising
two hundred thousand negro troop. . It appears
that the bQl was lost In the Senate on Tuesday,
the 31 inat by a vote of eleven to tea.
In official circles, this Is considered aa die
.posing of the question of putting negro soldiers
into our armies finally The House negro
eoldier bill, which is very similar to the Senate
bill, has not bees, and it Is now believed will
not be, acted upon by the Senate. Exprtu.-
We differ with the Erprttt in its conclusions,
and; look on the ultimate .pasaag by the Senate
of the Negro Bill as almost a certainty. We
have entertained this opinion for weeks, and tee
nothing in the recent actios of tko Donate to
justify the supposition that the question is dis
posed of. One thing may dsfeat It the annihi
lation of Sherman's army.
fince writing the above we eee that the two
frfa Cc79 rets! tsr the teSrSnlta post
ponemcnt of the bill ; and that they . have since
been' instructed by the Virginia Legislature to
vote for the employment of negro troops. This
will give a majority of one in favor of the
measure, unlets the Virginia Senators think
proper to disobey the instruction, which is not
iiksly.

that there waa no news of a discouraging char
acter received here on yesterday, aa waa current

CVrtcmf. The neetrritiee ef our
country, aa represented by ocr Ccnfriersta
authorities, Impel me, again, to appeal to yemr
generoeity: You are aware, that in consequenea of inter
ruption to our railroad communications by
recent movsments of the enemy, the subsistence
Of Gen.' Lee's army haa bejoome gfcatTy jeopsrd
laed. For at least a few 'months that army will
have to rely for aubeiztenoa upon -North C&roli
na and Virginia alone. I am informed by the
Commissary Department, that the uaual me
thods of . collecting sup plica wfil be icrufldert
for the purpose.
- In reference to this point, I need only cite the
authority of General Lee himself, who writsa aa
follows in regard to a similar appeal to the'
people of Virginia :
u 1 cannot permit mysslf to doubt that the
people will respond to It, whea they reflect upon
the alternative presented to thsm.' Taey have
simply ta choose whether they.- will contribute
such commlssarv and qaartermaster atorea ' aa
they can possibly spare to support an. army
which haa already borne and done so much ia
thsir bohalf, or retaining their etoree, maintain
the army of the enemy engaged In their suhjugas
tion. I. am aware, that a general obligation of
this nature, rests lightly on .most man each
being disposed to leave, hia- discharge to hie
neighbor but I am confident that our - citizens
will appreciate their responsibility in the ease,
and will not permit an army, which by God's
blessing and their patriotlo support haa hitherto
resisted tke efforts of the enemy, to tufsr now
through their neglect. p -
It seeme, therefore, that our all depends upon
the voluntary action of the people of North
Carolina and Virginia ; ' and trusting tkat .what
ever you have to spare, will be -promptly and
patriotically brought forward for the use of
your country, In its hour of trial the -follow,
ing plan is submitted, which 1s being acted upon
in the State of Virginia with the best, results.
It Is understood also, .tht provisions will -be
reeelved either as sales, loans or donations.
1st. Let every citizen who can, pledge "him
self to furnish the rations of one eoldier for alt
months, without designating any particular sol
dler aa the recipient of the contribution.' '
3. Let those thus pledging themselves furnish,
say 80 pounds of baoon and 180 pounds of flour .
or their equivalent In beef or meal, to b$ jeliv
ered to the nearest commirsarr ajenL
8. Let the donor bind Mmiilfto deliver one
half of the amount above stated; via: AO pounda
of baoon and tO pounfi of flour (orlts cquiva
lenO Immediately, and tke remainder at tke end
of three months, unless he prefer to adopt the
better plan of advancing the whole amouat pledg
ed, at ones:
Let the pledge of each Individual, subecrib
ing and furnithiag.the rations of one. soldier for
eix months, be made the basis of larger subecrip.
tlons. 1 Thoeewheeepaeroeity and whose Qtns
wui enable tnem to do so, may obligate them,
eelves to provide the rations of, 10, 0, or any
number of soldiers for eix months; while even
the poor, who could not afford to supply the ra
tions of one man, may, combining, authorise one
of their number to make the designated subeerip
tion of, at least, one ration for one man for aiz
months.
To effect this, I earnestly recommend that
oounty; and neighborhood meetings be imme
diately held In every' portion of the State, at
which subscriptions may be taken Up; and, that
a committee of responsible and reliable gentle
men be appointed by such meetings, to wait on
those who do not attend, and ascertain what can
be raised at the earliest possible moment. '
And rest assured, tkat ao patriot can better
aerve his country, than In ao dolag. By this
means every possible ounce of provisions which
can be spared for the support of our army, may
be made available.
Should you not, Fellow Citizens, respond to
this call, you may calculate, not only upon see
ing your own sons in the army suffer and be de
feated in the field, for want of these supplies, but
you will have .the mortlfiation to behold them
eelied and appropriated to the support of the
enemy who comes to destroy us. Adrandng as
he does, through the interior of the land, without
either water or railroad communications in his
rear, he is now eubeisting by the plunder and the
ruin of the people of South Carolina, and must
neoassarily do no, whan he eaters our Stato. Do
assured, therefore, that every pound of bacon or
beef, and every bushel of meal which you with
hold from your own army, is a oertain contribu
tion to the maintain anoe of that of the enemy.
Yeu have therefore, to choose whether you wiH
feed your sons, who are blooding in our defence,
er our ruthless enemy who arms our slaves and
laya waste our country.
To show you, fellow dtiaons, the earnest im
pression I have of the necessity of this action,
and that I will call upon you to mike no ticriflos
which I will not share with you, I have tendered
to the Commlssarv Department one half of my.
entire year's supply, and expect to put my own
family upon the limited .ratio as allowed to our
soldiers, regretting, that I hare so little to offer.
That which la left me to subsist upon will be
doubly sweet, because it Will ba ths bread cf
honor and independence, ' ' ' -
Confidently relying upon the xnerosity and
patriotism of a people to whom 'I have often ap
pealed and never appealed in vain, I as, fellow
citizens, -
Your obedieat servant,
X. D VAuCE.
I Faon Pi txsn v Ko. The enemy has est jtt
developed pUn ?f epilation cn our right.
Tfca' heav'trd conthjufd rsina if ths laat two cr
three dajHsnd nighty have, uo doubt, materially
inUrforVd his movements, sxd will proba
bly check hia advance for oersral days. An
engsgemect is, however, imminent, being only
def errsd inr consequence of the terrible condition
of the roads and the immediate inability to axe
artillery.
The enemy's cavalry, and the main body of
bis infantry -have been moved towards Hstchere
Run, and at present but a feeble force confronts
ouT'lines' rpst cf the city. Intelligent deserters
report thai the entire Tanke lmes between the
Wcldon Road, and the Appomattox river, are
now defended by. one corps alone the Ninth.
We are InUlred to believe this statement, as
intelligence threnrgh other sourcee convinets us
that every "man that can be spared from thus
lines have beca moved" to our right. We bat
await the clearing up of the weather, and some
improTcment In the condition of the roads, -to
hear that the enemy has commenced a heavy
moTement against our extreme right. Ki. 27 tC
We believe that the evacuatlon.of Charleston
and of all oar seaboard cities would long ago
have added to the strength" of the Confederacy.
It u mortifying to give up a city which is the
peculiar object of Federal vengeance, and which
kasboen so- long and ao heroically defended.
ButalUr a four years rejlstance to the utmost
power of the United States, it loses no honor by
the evaeuaJ&Mv which military necessity has
compelled, The Yankees may hold Chaxleitoa
for a time, as the British did in the Revolution,
but the end of the war will restore it to the Con
federate flag, and It will eater a new career of
prosperity and Importance. . Whatever the
eveatof the etruggia, Charleston has covered
itself with renown, and will long live ia history.
