DREW-..............ASSOCIATE EDITOR Southern News. From our Exchanges we condense the following items, as giving a fair summary of the condition of affairs in the South: It is evident from articles in all the Southern papers that the Confederates design making their great defense of the lower country bordering on the Mississippi river at Columbus, Ky. The Legislature of Mississippi have appropriated $75,000 for the purpose of raising 10,000 men for thirty days, to be stationed at that point. Thirty days troops are also being raised at New Orleans, and all the available gun boats at that point have been dispatched, under the command of the great Hollins, to that point. Notwithstanding the immense force already concentrated there, they are yet fearful of an immediate attack. Every excuse is manufactured for the purpose of sending a boat with a flag of truce to Cairo, in order to ascertain what our forces are about, and whether they are nearly ready to move down the river. General Grant has become so disgusted with this impudence that he will soon object to the reception of flags of truce on any account. Many rebels come up the river under the pretense of a desire to report themselves at St. Louis for the purpose of being exchanged. If permitted to pass through our lines, they glean what information they can, both at Cairo and St. Louis, and then return and thoroughly post the rebel leaders as to our movements. We think with Gen. Grant, it is high time this thing was stopped. Our exchanges speak of an expedition which left Shawneetown and Paducah for Caseyville. It accomplished nothing besides some of our soldiers getting disgracefully drunk and insubordinate, and the capture of about eighty fat hogs. No rebel force was at Caseyville, the small body of cavalry which were there the day previous having retired into the interior. Contraband goods, in large quantities, are constantly passing through Caseyville, and a force for the purpose of blockade ought to be stationed there permanently. The Pink Varble, which passed our city a couple of weeks ago, under a permit from Secretary Chase, loaded with machinery for McMinnville, Tenn., has been seized by the rebels as contraband, and the crew imprisoned. The cargo and boat will, we presume, be confiscated. Our citizens were quite indignant that a permit should have been granted in the first place. The only good it did was to place a boat in the possession of the rebels, which will make a most capital gun boat. The rebels sent about fifteen men to Franklin, Ky., a few days ago to capture some Unionists. The latter took refuge in a house and refused to give themselves up, firing on the rebels, killing one man and wounding two others. The rebels then set fire to the house after the most approved style of savage warfare, burning it and all the men in it except two who made their escape. The Indian no longer can claim the firebrand as peculiarly his style of warfare. We rejoice to learn that the family of Mr. Charles Anderson, has arrived at Brownsville, Texas. Mr. Anderson, himself, was expected in a few days, when the whole family would take passage for New York, via Tampico. Mr. Anderson is a brother of Gen. Robert Anderson. The Governor of Tennessee has commenced drafting. Apprehending this, 600 or 700 Unionists had left Nashville -- some for East Tennessee, and some for other directions. All the firearms have been wrenched from the hands of the citizens, and taken from the hardware stores, and deposited in the State Bank. The City Hotel, with its beds and bedding, had been taken for a hospital, and several large warehouses had been taken for the same purpose. A lady who escaped from Bowling Green, thinks there are 60,000 effective men there, and that the fortifications, five in number, are very formidable. Two distinct reviews were made a few days before she left, each of which, she was told, numbered 30,000 and even these did not embrace all the forces. John C. Breckinridge is reported to be quite ill from an attack of the jaundiceThe jaundice ought not to cheat the hang man of his due. The Knoxville Tennessee Register, thinks the fortifications at Cumberland Gap which have been completed, are amply sufficient to defend it from any force from any quarter. The rebels are becoming convinced that the Northern States are terribly in earnest.

FRIDAY MORNING..

The Richmond Examiner emphatically declares, that every defeat and sacrifice more thoroughly unites the North, and that it now has a regular army of 500,000 men. It insists that the South should raise the same number of men by conscription, on the plan of the European States. The latest news from Charleston, is that

the Union troops have entire possession of St. Helena Island, and that they had landed at the mouth of Ashpoor river, on the northern side of St. Helena Sound. It is also stated that an attempted landing near Buckingham was prevented by the rebels. The Savannah Republican is gradually getting over its scare, and rejoices over the wonderful displays of patriotism throughout the State. Fifty thousand men, says that paper, would place themselves in the field within a week, if they only had the means to arm and equip them. A dozen Lincoln fleets cannot conquer such a people, thinks the Republican. We must try, then and send two dozen. CAMP COCHRAN, HEAD OF MAIN ST, Dec. 3rd, 1861. EDITORS JOURNAL: - Nothing of special importance has occurred in camp since I wrote, except that we have enlisted 12 or 15 more men, and that to us, is a little matter of special interest. " Blood will tell," and so do the boots and blankets that are furnished to men who connect themselves with Capt. Cochran's Artillery. The Captain is fully acquainted with the necessity of keeping men warm and comfortable, and is doing all in his power to make the life of a soldier desirable. He will leave for Indianapolis to-morrow morning for the purpose of selecting guns, and thinks he will be able by the last of the week to have everything on the ground that the company will require for the destruction of secession. Boys who are out of the service, report yourselves soon, the company is nearly full. We are under many obligations to Mr. Wm. Paine, who furnished the Union Artillery boys with a lamb neatly dressed. We had a big dinner, and will doubtless think of "Bill" often long may he wave. Archie Sullivan has been very kind to the boys, and has the thanks of the entire company. We have some of the finest potatoes you ever saw their good quality is accounted for by Captain Robinson, who swears that "Old Abe" was under the impression they were being shipped to some Irish regiment. Yours, E. The Panic In South Carolina. A letter in the Richmond Examiner from Charleston, dated November 21st, says: "The amount of cotton abandoned on the plantations was very considerable. It is not easy to estimate the quantity with certainty, but it is generally said to be about fifteen hundred bales. Many of the planters, before quitting, set fire to their crops and such other combustible property on their premises as could not be removed. It is certainly to be regretted that, in the confusion that prevailed, this very proper step was not more generally taken. "But the first surprise at the invasion has now died away, and I think the Northern Government may reckon, without fear of mistake, that it has obtained the very last bag of cotton, and also the last contraband that it can ever hope to seize by pouncing upon the coast of South Carolina. Concerted arrangements between the planters and the military authorities have wisely been made, by which no plantation will be abandoned until the crop is utterly consumed, the gin-house and other buildings destroyed, the live stock driven off, and the hands removed to the interior. In the most exposed localities, that is, the islands adjacent to Port Royal, on which the enemy may at any moment make his appearance, the work of desiruction [destruction] is already commenced. "For the past few days gangs of negroes from the sea-coast, laden with such effects as they can carry, and followed by droves of mules and horses, have been passing through this city on their way to the back country. Night before last the whole atmosphere in the city, and for miles around, notwithstanding the bright moonlight, was hazy and lurid. Many could not account for the phenomenon. It was the effect of the wholesale conflagration of cotton now going on at Edisto and other islands intervening between Port Royal and Charleston. Wherever the marauders choose to land, and it is useless to disguise the fact that they can land at a great many points, they will find nothing but devastated fields, deserted by all, save the avenging presence of the partisan rifleman. The patriotic sacrifice which has been made by our planters is all the greater when we consider that the crops of the past season have far exceeded the best ever before known. "In my last letter I alluded to the strength of the defences of Charleston. Savannah has also been strongly fortified on a plan for which the conformation of its harbor affords peculiar facilities, and I understand that Gen. Lee says that that city is now in a condition to make a protracted and successful defence. Gen. Lee has gone to Brunswick, Georgia. The Canadian papers are beginning to understand the belligerent right of search. The Toronto Globe confesses that we have international law on our side, and the Montreal Gazette, referring to the hasty condemnation by the Toronto papers of the capture of Mason and Slidell, says: Of course it was supreme nonsense to deby the existence of the belligerent right of search of neutral vessels. Great Britain has been foremost to assert it of all the nations of the world. The election of George Opdyke, Mayor of New York city, is a great triumph of the Union men. The infamous letter of Fernando Wood to Mr. Toombs, in relation to the arms which the Southern Confederacy was endeavoring to smuggle Southward in April last, marked the man as a traitor at heart, and it is subject of congratulation that he has been deprived of the power of ruling New York for the next two years. Mr. Opdyke, the Mayor elect, is one of the merchant princes of Now York, worth over $4,000,000, and a man of unquestioned integrity and honesty. The Army of the Potomac. All accounts from Washington agree that General McClellan is using untiring industry in getting the army into the best possible condition, while it is more and more evident, every day, that he does not mean to use it to obtain military glory, but to carry out a plan similar to that of Scott -- to quell this rebellion by a mighty pressure, and not by a mighty slaughter.

Notwithstanding the grave intima-

tions contained in the President's message that Congressmen had better leave the management of the army solely to the military men at its head, those worthies presist [persist] in introducing resolutions of inquiry. Mr. Conklin wants to know who is responsible for the disaster at Ball's Bluff. Mr. Chandler asks a similar question as to Bull's Run, and Senator Lane wants Springfield, Wilson's Creek and Lexington explained away. These gentlemen are impertinently curious. -The ship Harvey Birch, lately burned at sea by the Savannah, was a beautiful, new vessel, worth $102,000, and owned by loyal citizens in New York. Unfortunately she was not insured. -The 13th regiment, Col. Sullivan, have been ordered to Beverly, Virginia. A part of the regiment arrived there on the 26th ult. -It has been reported for several days past, that contraband goods continue to leave Henderson for the Southern Confederacy. Cannot the Union men of that place prevent these infractions of law? -We learn from the Knoxville (Tenn.) Register that the Union men under arrest there on the charge of bridge-burning had been delivered over to the military authorities, and were to be tried by court martial on Thursday, the 28th ult. -Senator Samuel Pickens, who represents one of the counties of East Tennessee in the Senate, has been arrested again and is now in jail in Knoxville, as we learn from the Register of the 26th ult. His offence is loyalty to the Union. -The point between Charleston and Savannah, of importance next to Port Royal, is St. Helena Sound. Our troops are now in peaceable possession, the enemy having abandoned their fortifications there, and taken the cannon into the interior. From Cheat Mountain. C. R. Scudder returned this afternoon from the headquarters of Gen. Reynolds, in Western Virginia. The object of his visit was to bring home the remains of young Bunnell, of White county, a youth of seventeen, who went out with one of the regiments from this State, and died of typhoid fever at Cheat Mountain. Mr. Scudder was unable to execute his mission, owing to the wretched condition of the roads and the difficulty in obtaining transportation. The road between Webster and Huttonville, sixty-two miles, is lined with the wreck of government wagons and dead horses. Six miles a day is the average travel for a four-horse-wagon, although a six horse team with a load of straw hats might be equal to seven or eight miles. Sutlers are compelled to pay twenty dollars per day for six-horse teams. The snow is fifteen inches deep on Cheat Mountain. Mr. Scudder dined with Captain Miller on Tuesday. He reports him slowly improving, but with no immediate prospect of returning home. The gallant soldiers of the 15th had volunteered to carry him in a blanket, but the severity of the weather, and the almost impassible condition of the roads rendered it impracticable. Gen. Reynolds and his efficient Adjutant, fated to remain for the winter in undisputed occupation of the position they bad so honorably won and nobly maintained, were cheerfully discharging the responsible duties of the post, and the praises of the 'Little General' and his staff is on every lip. Lafayette Courier Dec. 1. The Handling of Troops --What the Potomac Army can do. The National Intelligencer says: There were some circumstances attendant on the recent great review of the army on the Potomac which may, perhaps, deserve a special mention, as serving to show at least the capacity that exists for the speedy massing of troops in that quarter. We understand that the seventy-seven regiments of infantry, the eight regiments of cavalry, and the seventeen batteries of field artillery which participated in that pageant were summoned and gathered for that purpose from their widely seperated stations on a notice of only twenty-four hours. The task of accomplishing this result in the time specified was committed by Gen. McClellan to Gen. McDowell, and the efficiency with which that accomplished officer discharged the duty assigned him was sufficiently attested by the success of the review, which, besides presenting a brilliant military display, afforded to the young General-in-Chief a pressage of the reliance be con place on the expedition that will be brought to the fulfillment of his orders whenever it shall be necessary to combine the forces now in the field for any operations of an active character. HOME INTERESTS It will be seen by advertisement in another column, that O. K. Fire Company will give a ball at Marble Hall, next Monday evening, December 9th. --The Military Hall is being used by Col. Owen as a drill room for the soldiers of his regiment. It will prove a great convenience during the winter months. The river is almost up to high water mark, having overflown the bottom land above the city. Large quantities of drift past down yesterday. The river will soon begin to recede, it having fallan two feet at Cincinnati yesterday. Col. Hollingsworth yesterday received his commission as Colonel of the 2nd Regiment of the Indiana Legion, and Quartermaster Gwathmey was also commissioned as Lieut. Colonel. Sergeant Major Sonntag has been appointed Adjutant These appointments, so far as we have been able to learn, give entire satisfaction to the members of the 2nd Regiment. Quartermaster Orr, of the 42nd Regiment, passed through the city this morning, en route for Indianapolis. He reports all quiet at Calhoun. The officers regret exceedingly that the order countermanding the order to leave Henderson and march to Calhoun, did not reach the regiment, until it had been several hours on the route. Their present encampment does not aftord a proper place for drilling the regiment. Lieut. Orr had heard nothing of the reported fight alluded to in yesterday's Journal, and we are inclined to believs that the rumor was without foundation in fact.

Another Oyster Supper To-night-Owing to the success attending the entertainment last night at Crescent City Hall the ladies will give another oyster supper to their friends this evening. The Hall was crowded last night, and the success of the affair must have been very gratifying to the ladies. They hope to meet to-night all who favored them with their presence on last evening and many others who were not able to be present. If you want to spend a pleasant hour, avail yourselves of this public invitation to be on hand this evening. It is understood that the Glee Club will sing a number of choice songs and choruses.
