At this Office, one good COMPOSITOR, to whom permanent employment and g6od wages Will be given, y ; j The mammoth meeting at Columbia has repudiated the sentiments to which Mr. Boyce gave expression in hislettcr to President Dav s. After' passing a. lot of resolutions there was seme little dis cussion as to whether an opportunity should be offered Mr. Boyee, to vindicate himself, and to the people to henr what he might have rto say in his own defence'.- After some debate a conim tieo as ap pointed to await on that gentleman and invite him to address tbo meeing. Mr.: Boyce came on the stand and delivered an address, which though it was nGt such as .to exculpate him from the charge of hav jng done great harm, and which does not t'orce'us to commend his course in writing the letter, yet it fully vidii atrs his fame so far as the charge of favoring recon struction, is concerned.' No doubt cer tain papers who, in the. thought that Mr. Boyce w; s in favur of reconstruction, warmly commended his le:ter and spoke of .ini m terms of the highest eulogiuin, .:. will now desert him and villify him with a - malignity an .1 bitterness, only examph?d in their own abuse heretofore of all god and patriotic men.. i Fori , ourselves, while vc' cannot agrea with Mr! Boyce that his policy is expe dient,! e are not among those who will still sbusd traitor in his ears. There is not that man in the . country who more " bitterly, : and forgivingly despises him wfio favors a leturn to the Yank m rule, than the iwriter yet wo cannot doubt the fiiclceiitylof Mr. Boyce, and we cannot re fuse to rely on his statement,- in hisj vin dication,: jthat ho was willing "to.mift th-e people of the Noth in negotiation, with an . anxious desire for peace and ready Idevn- 'txdc fn tteh NOT YOU ft ISDErKNtiENCE." , ?We r.re informed that an urgent call has beeu made for the Senior Reserves to re-i port forthwith to the authorities atj Wil mington - fTherelis apt to be a fight there tefore very long, and we shall have need bf all the troops that can be spared. ? jWe trust the reserves will turn put with alacrity,! and will so deport themselves amid the? tryiugscenes through whicb they will ere long be called upon to pass, as v;to -reflect credit on themselves, and, honor . on thir State and country. , w-'' jjf the troops will do their duty in the approaching fight at Wilmington, there is no uoubt that Gen.

We will publish their views more fully in to-morrow's paper. ; Our Army. The Richmond Dispatch nays that the ranks in General Lee's army, are rapidly filling up, arid the corps, di-j visions, brigades and regiments, deplete 1 by many battle?, are assuming their for-; iner . proportions. At dress parade, on fjunday last, a Virginia regiment, which had inscribed on its battle flag the names of our earliest battles, turned out eleven hundred muskets, and one of our smallest divisions numbered seven thousand effect ive men. Hon. B. H. Hill, C. S. Senator from Georgia, in a long letter to an Enrolling Officer of that 3tate, gives a full tjxf.lan t tion of the late order requiring a nw reg-! istration and enrollment of persons be tween 17 and 50 years of age. We have not space for the letter, but give the following extinct a a specimen f the violation of the law heretofore : "Many are clerks, agents and employees . of Quartermasters, Commissaries and other officers. No such officer has the right to appoint any man as his agent, clerk or employee, in any capacity, who is between the ages of eighteen and forty five unless such a man bn disabled from service in the field. Mark the; word not sick or wounded but disabled. j "Many are acting j as provost marshals and guards, agents ana employees of pro vost marshals, in our irjterior towns. No such officer is authorised by -Jaw, and no power, not even the President, Secretary of War, or Commanding, General of an army, has the right to appoint such an offi cer outside the lines of the a; my, and all such,, with their numerous retinue, are il legally away from their commands- The same remarks apply to military comman dants away from-the army. . Bad fok Mississippi Rivek GcnbOatS. -U The traveling correspondent of tha New Orleans. Times, writing from Vicksburg, says. 1 learn from officers of the navy at M or ganza that the Confederates had extended their torpedo opeiatioiis on the Mississip pi river ; that on the night of the 31st ultimo one of them paid a visit to the formidable gunboat and ram Lafayette, anchored at that pl .Ce: , On overhauling the Am nor chain cable the next morning, they.- found a torpedo hau caught in the chain, wi;h a shell contaming seventy-five pounds of powder attached, and upon ex amination the fu.-c was fbuud to be wtf, whic 1 whs the cause of jts not derling death and destruction to tUe ruen and vessel. : , . I A correspondent of the Macon Confed eracy, wiiting from Charleston under date of October 8th, says : i-Th"3'ellow fever is on the increase.- The mortality among children is ery large. Some neighborhood's seem to be more affected than others5 especially is this thecase around the arsenal. Its in troduction, I am told, has been owing to the want of proper-prcauction in allow ii g blocknde runners io- tree access to the city on arriving from N.is.-au and other infected ports. Captain E.

The Coiumbus Sun states, upon the authority ef officers connected w:th the army, that as we progress north ward,, our u umbers increase. When the army fell back to Atlanta,, numbers of men who lived in the' northern portions of the State, went back to' their homes They are new returning to their colors. It is stated apon the same authority, that over one hundred deserters have returned fo their commands from the aeighbor-hood-of Lick Skillet a little village in Northern Georgia.

Savannah is the point, of'- exchange, and Captain Hatch,'"till leave in a few days for that city to superintend the whole affair. This news will carry gladness to myriads of South ern fire-sides.

Tin-: SITUATION. - For Several days past, the military sit- uatr n on tho North and South sides of the'Jamc3, has furnished nothing upon which an early battle could be predica ted. In fact, but for the congregation of irirvjd muu clad in blue and gvay, orna mented with braid and buttons, very lit tle Hasrally occurred inconsistent with thOieigu of that long prayed for period, when the; lion is to lie down with the lamb, .and none to be nudd afraid. This' has hot been owing, however, to the wea ther as October is lavish with bright dayg, jnst such as 'would invite rant to make a torward movement, it he wore Only strong euough to ruu the risk with out endangering the .Presidential pros pect of his master. In the: Valley while we have' been fol lowing' the track of Sheridan, which is niark ed by tha smokiug real. tins of barns and what were once golden ricks, the sub ial fruit of our recent suGcesss. we stan! are inclined to thiuk h ive been over esti- inatfed . by over sanguine '--passengers. -il'hefte is no .doubt, however-, 'that Early jias fhe better of the caaipaign in' a mili ,aryi aspect, and that Sheridan, until largely reinforced, must acton the de fensive, ji iiany poisons direct., from the Valley are'of the opinion- that he designs fetreating to .-. lcxaiidria, from which point he.will embark via the Potomac to reinforce Grant. This of course, is mere, speculatien, but a week at farthest will ;ive us a, clew to his future' intention. From Georgia tho 'news is. not only lopeful, hut absolutely cheering, and erities what we predicted several dai t igo. The gallant Texan instead of '.fa. -ing back, has advanced beyoud Dal ton, Where Johnston quartered his army la t winter, and has not countermanded tl;e Tiagic order 'ferward,' which, 0.1 the oc casion of the President's visit to the ar my, when called out, he modestly said, le Pnged to give them. From Missouri, even through North ern channels, we learn that Priee is hav ing things pretty much, his own way, and hat her people so long oppressed by the irn heel of Yankee despotism, have at ast an opportunity to assert their man hood and vindicate their right to self government. ! Upon the soil of Texs there Js uet a Yankee in arms, and some of the Yankee journals are-clamorous for tho surrender bf Arkansas to tfe Confederates, inerdcr to save Missouri..' How .that will de it, we Sre hot able to understand. From Mobile and the rest of Gen. Taylor's dis trict, our latest advices report all quiet j Gex, Johkston. A Macon correspon dent of the Register speaking of General Johnston, says : Gen. Joe. Johnston is living in a' very quet, pleasant residence in this city Vjhy is his sword reru.iining idle in this crisis of our country ? Why is it not employed to hurl Back the tide of inva sion from some part of our land ? It is a true blade and has never yet failed us 4 let it be used. 1 The South has many great minds and much genius, but not enough to throw away such a jewel as 'tin him lies." I More Yankee Brutality. The West Florida News learns that after the Yankea raid on jMarianna, the enemy committed raiie in jseveral insfcuicos during their pas s'age through the counties between that place and their de?ttnatio;:, Fort Pickens.
