From tlic Yorkville Enquirer, U?h. . Death ul 'Col. .Ino. L. .Miller. - , ?The first telegram'received here on Sat urday last, communicating the commence ment of hostilities between the two great ar mies in Virginia, brings us the heart-rend ing account ol'the death of our much esteem ed fellow-citizen, Col. John Lucas Miller, of j the 1 ^ Pegirneut, S. C. V. .Looking to con- j qnest, The public mind' wa3 yet unprepared writhe price of success, and tho unexpected news'threw a r-all over our .little corffrhtiuity,*'] which grows sadder with the reflection ofilia desolated. 1mm,;, his widowed young wife, and j wrphaned litt lo ?pn?s. Thc wann heart is j chilled in death, thc nobie ?mirii bus returned ; to'flirn who endowed it ; all that is left to j his mourning fellow citizens, is-thc remera-j . berance of his many virtues. 1 Col. M.iller was born in this District, he j was a son of Dr. John.L. Miller, (brother ot ' Col. Stephen D. Miller, Exdovernor of this t^State); he graduated.at Davidson College, " North Carolina, irt*a"|i-17, wht'n he returned to his home, and studied law in the office of the j late Hon.-1. D.' Witherspoon. .* In 1851, Col. j Miller was elected by the Legislature Com- ! missitfacr in Equity for York District, dur irtg a portion ol' which lime he was connected with this journal as Senior Editor und Pro prietor, in which he ably advocated with his pen the principles- which he so nobly main tained with his sword to thc bitter end. At the expiration of his second term, Col. Miller w.as decies by his 'fellow-cttizeua as Repre sentativo in the State Legislature, during which term the war broke out, when he was among the first to raise a Company, whose teils, privations and'dangers he buri thus far shared. Faithful to bis trust, abnegating self, he devoted his energies to the welikro of hip men and cause, and then fell doubtless with many other brave heart?, who, while they j leave "many a hearth undefended," havoj reaped thc full measure ol undying glory. From his connection with thc Chi titian church, tho friends of Co!, Miller have every reason to believe he was prepared, for the last croat trial, .iud that he has ?jone Itomf to prepare .a way for those who loved him in life, and will . not cease to venerate his memory while love of country fills the human heart, and the good man's character is held up for imitation to them he has left behind.

It is jad to . learn that ?lie was killed by his own men misttkirg Kiln fbr.tLe'. enemy, but the acci . dents of war are inevitable as ib:? decrees of fate. Another young widow and orphaned children are left without their natural pro tector, and ti c country mourns unolhe-r of her mc.-t gallant defenders : ''Weep, Albin, to .?o?th or captryity-led, Oh!

Ile was much esteemed in bia private character, \.hilo aa a public man he was ?1 ways foremost in every effort to maintain thc ;:ood name of his chosen District. Though many have fallen in this fight, few will be more missed by his brother officers, while his men will still, remember many a kindnca*, and overlook his errors, be they litany or ^jaw. Gen. Jenkins was a consistent member ot th.; Protestant Episcopal Church, in which faith he died, and in v.-kos.; promises his rela tives and friends feel assured of his glorious resurrection. From the Newberry Rising >-.ip. Death of Col. Jumes Drayton Nance. Tuc sad intelligence Las reached this com munity that Colonel Nance, of the i?d Keg. S. C. V., was killed in the recent brittle in Vir ginia. Thus has another noble ton of tho S:a;e gone down to' death,-a sacrifice on the altar of his country. At.the first call to arms the Qnitman Hines WOK- organized and-.Col. Xa:ce unanimously chosen as captain of this line corps. How v.-cll he has discharged the varied and responsible*trusts committed him, history will record in beautiful number5. His courage, endurance, fortitude and delibe rate judgment, mingled happily with a calm gentle, and affectionate disposition. There was ah earnest attachment between him and his men, which grew deeper atsd "trotiger at each successive stage of this mighty conllict. Dut death has sealed the fountains of his no ble soul, and severed, for Time, those loving ties. '. . Immediately beforo the war Col; Nance presided in tho editora] sanctum of the New berry Contervalist,' which he adorned v/ith all those c> arming graces and courtesies that spring froth a pure and lofty nature. It was ocr privilege, as a printer, to meet him in the sanctum ann composing room, und have ever been delighted with his engaging and gener ous sentiments. In that riebt? and chivalric urbanity: and peculiar kindliness of maimer, ho reminded us.much of .the lamented War ren, of thc Camden Journal, Tho Newberry Bar wil! pay. tribute to bis eminence and ir tucs as a lawyer, a Christian und a gentleman, tsueh a son is mourned hy his District, by lite State.

Jn the fight at'Port Waltkall Junction,three and a half miles from petersburg, on Satur day the 7th, the South Carolinians fought with taeir usual bravery. Tho Richmond Sehtmel give the following account of thc tight : Friday night closed in upon the opposing forces, after several hours of Sharp skirmish rug.. Saturday morning, Ht sunrise, found the two annies drawn up in line of battle, about half ii mile apart nod in full view of each ota j er. Our ?bree occupied the railroad to thc right and left of.Craig's residence, verv neat' to the junction, and tho Yankees occupied :i position in iii? adjacent field. About eleven o'clock skirmishing eouimonc ed, u hf n the Surry artillery, under Captain Hawkins, advanced several hundred yards in ? front and opeued ou the enemy with shell, this brought on P. sharp fire between tho in fantry on our left and the advance of the en emy's right. But in thirty minutes tho firing od both sides ceased, except here and there a wild shot from the enemy's artillery. Our forces now made thc railroad their line Of battle, and about lial?past tiro o'clock tile enemy opened on them-whit thir artillery in front, r,rui at thc same time endeavored to turn om- left. They , finally succeeded, .by overwhelming numbers, in reaching the rail road, but General Hagood, with three South Caroona regiments (the Twenty-first, Twen ty fifth and Twenty-seventh.) advanced and drove the enemy back to their line in great confusion. The fighting continued until about four o'clock-and was for the greater portion of. the time very severe,#our brave and gallant ni"'! driving everything before them. Our troops were confronted by greatly su perior numbers, but they held their ground manfully Their number engaged was twelve or fifteen thousand. The enemy advanced in overwhelming nurcW'r-^.csiimated at one di vision and two brigades^' upon that portion of our line held by' General Ilagood's brigade. They were in such numbers as to overlap our linc, whir-h enabled them lo flank ami turn j our extreme left. This farced Goneral Ha-' ..good to change his front, -'Which ho -did sue eessfully, but the movement necc-Rsilalod thc exposure of our officers and men, and caused the heavy loss which we sustained. The en ? erny, however, -wore soon driven back, when the brave South Carolinians re-cccupied their origiu.il line, and held it successfully against two ruoreassaultsof the enemy. Brigadier-General Bushrod.Johnson was { tho senior JTrigtulier io command, and is s:iid ! to have behaved with much coolness. Licu 1 to.-.ant General P. If. Hill was also'on tho I ground. lt is mcnlionod as a somewhat singular coincidence, ttiaVthc troop? oaigaged on the part of thc enemy in this light were the s..me .tromps that the brave South Carolinian.'} hud fouirhf so long on Morris' and dames' Llonds, ai Charleston. Our loss in thc fight of Friday and Satur day, particularly ,,'in that of Saturday, was very severe, proving conclusively that our men fought with ihemtmost desperation. Tht loss of Officers is very large. In General Ila [ good's bri^adiyfour out of seven field officers euga^ed in the light wera killed. Among those killed and wounded we b arn of the fal lowing : Lieutenant-CobntI Tiaram, of thc 1' I st. South Carolina Volunteers, killed ?if the engagement of Saturday: Colonel John G.
