The march of the Yankee army through this section -of countiy having Jestroyed all wail 9mmunication with other, points, we have been compelled to suspend the publication oT the DAILY NEs, and-intil cdaily tiail facilities are again established, the DAILY NEwS will nut be published. As soon, however, as we are put in daily communication with other points. the Nx-wa will be re samed. In tho meantime, knowing the anx. ioty of the reading public to learn the latest intelligence froin our armies and elsewhere, we are publishing a tri-week. ly paper for the purpose of afforditig an opportunity to thosd who desire -it, to procure the latest news. As Ti. DAiLY NEws, Tiic Ti. W EKLY NEws and Tui FAIRFIELD CoruniEn, are sepaIrate and distinct pub lications, wo have a word to say to those friends who have subscribed for THE Dzmy..NEw. Under existing oircunT4 stanoes -it cannot be expected that we -will supply our tri-wockly issue in place of the DAILY NEwS, at daily term.s, viz : $12 for three months, hence, we have been compelled, in self-defence, to charge $1.00 per copy for the Tar-WEEKLY NEws, in order, as we have- no mail out. let, to make expenses. To the subscribers of the, DAILY NEws, however, we offer this arrange. ment. We will supply THE Tnt-WE.K LY NEws to them at its terms, itil the money they have paid for the DAILY NEws runs out; or they can purchase from our carriers, or at our office, our tri-weekly issue, at $1.00 per copy, and leave their subscriptions to the DAILY stand as it is, when, as soon as the paper is again resumed, those who have not changed their subscriptions will re ceive it for the ftdl time fqr which they have .paid-namely, threeo months. To any desiring to make this arrange mont, by calling at our office, we will mako the transfer of .their subscription from the DAILY 9o the Ti VE.EKLY. This is about as fair an arrangement as we could possibly offer, and we think our patrons will appreciate the effort we are making to supply them with news, and sympathize with usin the difitculty in which a merciless foe has thrown us, as well as the great drawback they laive entailed upon our ef'orts to success :fally establish a paper in Winnsboro.

The assignment of Miaj. JoHN JEN KINS to local partisan duties of defence, at a request of his native State, now without a regultir army, is 4n omen of god, and we hope will be followed by the appointment of other bands of parti. sans under equally' competent leaders, as Majors or Captains. It will be disgraceful if this .State, signaliaed as it was almost exclusively by the partizan service of the revolution, -and the exploits of MARioN, Su11=1, HaMxoN and others, and marked by features of soil pe uliarly favorable to ranging and partisan resources of defened, should be left entirely at the mercy of the foe, because no regular army of the West Point line is in it. Even in reg. ular war, in large masses, our people hanve proved themselves able and will ing to fight against odds of invaders but in partisan warfare, well organised 'and conducted under leaders of local qunlhcataons, odds much greater iday be successfully resisted or annofed or de. feated. Let a few of our best young active oMlcers of tried qualities, be assignel to duty, and the young men now claiming descent from the leaders of the revolu. tion, and from the followers of MAmIox, will prove their lineage and renew or enlarge on the soil of Sooth Carolina the partisan records of a war of defence. We have the men and the resources and the occasions-let tlio encourage. mont and authority be givea promytly. FIN)? SMOKINO TOBACCO.

FACTS ABOUT vaH EVAC7ATTON O Oniur.Fsrok.-We have had the pleas. ure of meeting Captain Valentine. of the artillery service of the Confelerate States, who was present at the ovacua. tion of Charleston. He furnishes us with some interesting facts rtlative to the "closing dramea," that will set aside the lies that the Yankees have publish. ed, and-their sympathizers in our midst, the croakers, have retailed. The evacuation was conducted in the most quiet and orderly wian'ner. At Fort Sumter -we had only three 10 inch Columibiads, the other guns being small carroniades, designed to resist an infan try attack by boats. At Fort Monltrie ,only nine guns were mounted, and thiese were all spiked, as was every piece of .ordnanco about the harbor. The two Bllakely guns--the seven hundred ponsnders--were blown up, and can nev* er be refitted by the enemy. The report tht the citidens of Charles. ton received the Yankees with delight, isfalse and slanideronsu. It is especially slander'ous of&)he nsoble ladies of that dc* voted city, who have iever been most loyal to the cause, and who no'w 'apurn and loathe the abomninab~le -foe. There may have been "womegi of the town" who rejoiced at th~e advenut of the Yan. keea--."a follow feelitig" etc. It is ssd, hbwever, to n.te the fact thaqt the leadittg niemnbers of the fire de. partment remained beldnd, annd -have fraternized with the' entemy. Among these were a number of'rabad1, original Recessionists-J. ILegaro Yates, who boasted of hmaving fired the figt gun ir. the war; Courtenay, -'Bowman and others.

The tole lab ' anitounce in gor I e ich occurre' ALPr r vi uSnday 0.nd Rs reale Vtheit enkering into dotaiIs which his'3Im at mabo contraband to make public, we are porintted te publish the following: Bentonsville is a small village, - on a little stream known as Mill Creek, in a Southi-easterly direction from 1alaigh, ahnd, say, twenty-two miles from Smith field. The locality is similar to that oftlh renowned Wilderness in Virginia-flat, thick and swampy., Little artilitry, con sequently, could be used on either side. The enemy were inoving.towards Ga1ds boro to efreet a junction with Schofield, the 15th and 17th corps being on one road and the 14th and 20th on the other. Learning this fact, General Johnston threw a portion of his armsy across the front .of the lat ter division of the' Yankee command, and the desifbd attack was brought on, His purpose was evidently to whip the enemy in detail. Our men never fought better. The Federal line, were charged repeatedly and with suc ecss, the Yankees giving away fr'equtnt lv in confusion, and, proving themselve thtoroughly unable, where the number were even Approximately. equal, tc withstand the. vigorous attacks of om1 columns. During the latter portion of the engagement, an attempt was made by General Johnson to flank the Yanket positiont, but, failing from somie cause it its exec'ution, it was abandoned and the fight ceased, leaving us ill possession 01 all we had gained. During the iight out lines were rectified, and we awaited the anticipated attakk on the following day. The next morning the 15th corps wa brought up, but did not, make an assanit until the afternoon. This was repuls'ed with ease. Skinnishing continued all day. On Tuesdny, the 17th corps was brought up, and very heavy skirmishing resulted. The enemy felt our line fron right *o left until, it is said, finding at opportunity, ie made a hold push for thC town cf Bentonsville,.which was reaceld by Iw. divisions. At this juncture Gen eral I lardee, with Cummings' Georgia brigade and a brigade of Texas canilry. charged and drove them out in a hand some manner, capturing a number ol prisoners. That night our army withdrew, since which tim'e we are-not adviset oi any fighting except by our cavalry, which, und(er Hampton, attadks th<t eneiny on every proper occasion. There appears to be no doubt thai Schofield and Slirman have' at last met at or near Goldsboro, at which place th( Federals are supposed to he entrenching General Johnson, however has the insidt track, is in . position which gives hin the advantage of the first move on th< chess-board, and from which we nn anticibate the happiest results.-Soa Carolinian, Aarch 2 8. Tu SrTUATION.-What the situntior of the two opposing armies in this vieinit3 is, we know not. There are mnii, rumors, with which it is useless t' burden our 6olumns. We hen of no fighting since Sundtly except some little skirmishing. Shermh and Schofield ,avo probably formed i junction.: if not, they can do so any time we presume. Gen. Johnston will d all that skill and bravery can effect We must wait the issue of events 'a calpil7 as we can.--Raeigh Poress 24th. sThe enemy has donhtjess formed junction at Goldsboro' and will nto doubl fortify it. It is said that the Yanktew are rmnning the trains on the Wilmuing to, and also ott the Atlantic Railroad. W< presumne the rumor may 1)e true as t< the Atlantic road. I fit he so, Gemn Hampton will htave something for hi active and dating spirit to do. Jn (ln inean time Gen. Johntstont is lie3epinlg a sharp eye on the foe. We continut to hear encouraging accounts from .th< recent engagements wvit~h the enem~ but " we are wvithout partiulps. [R'aei'gh Conser-vativc, 25t1. Sherman's wvhole army was enitretnch ed on the morning of the 20th, and. did not attack,' butt held our posit~ion and brought off' all our wounded. 'Ther< were heavy ekirmiushing' on the 2001 and 21st, and several partial attacks b' .the enemy were hapdseomely repulsed The troops all behiaved admirably, the Army,of Tennessee has fully proved thme slanders that hmav circulated against it, On the evening and night of s the cenm mnove4 towards . D.K I dn~ev 6t u6 th Cup~ lis ~t3'~ rgd YANKCF FORCEs IN TENNEsEEr.-A -leterht e m 1aCbel says is titln a I ce dh to .the' highest -s~d it, iglf~ thefollowing particulals concerin hm nunber apd position of tho Fideta forces - upon our northern frontier: Gilmore is eing reinforced by Thomas with cavalry t Knoxville. Hst Tei. nessee, preparatory to- iaking a move into Wesfern' Virginia,'or tb foim 'a junction -ith Sherman in Norith Caroliija Thomas has about three regiments at Dalton and Tunnel Hill, but two re giments at Chattanooga; eighty men at sunning Water bridge, and forty iithe block houses at the end of the britIgo; und threo small regiments of negroes, Dutch and tories at Bridgeport, and two regiments at Stevenson. . There are but small garrisons from Stevenson to H1unts ville. The balance of Thomas's army is not thought to bo - sttong, and is at Hilnitsville, Decatur and Eastport. Rosecrane has five brigades in MiuIdle Tdinessee, scouring the country for sup. plies and recruits. They say to every rebel soldier they catch that lie must either join the Federal army or be killed. Stokes' biigadc is thie most conspicuous in.this work. This policy will drive many men to the Southern Army. -The writer of the letter evidently thinks Thomas is weak in point of numbers, but the reader will observe that a coneentration of these forces would make a formidablo army. For one, *e nre disposed to query whether, unless the people of .. labama I and Mississippi arouse, we have forces enough to repel Thomas, should he attempt a movement from North Alabama. FRoM NoRT ALAnA MA.-OUr latest. information from H1untsville, says the Montgomery Adirdser of the 16th, is that, about two wveeks ago, the number of' Yankees there was estimated at 20,000. Theso'estimates are, however. generally exa~grated. W6 stated two days ago, on infornat-ion derived froim a gitizen of Jackson coumty, that the 4th Ynnkee army corps had h-ft North Alabaina for' East Tennesieo. The Yankee guards were posted everywhere in the town, but most persons were glad ofit, as they atfhrded protection frctn the disiurbances and depredations of diisonlerly soldiers. No citizen, male or female, was.pennitted to buy as much as five dollars worth of apnythin, with out taking tle, Lincoln- oath., Heneo, none who are unwilling to take oath, would invest more tlhan *4.95 at a tinie. Few take the oath, wb understaid. The Church ofthe Nativity (Episcopal) had been closed -by nilitary authority bedause t&he Rev. Mr. Banistep had pray ed for the President of the Confederite States, during the last Confederate occupation of the town ; and tihe order had been received for Mr. Banister to leavo and omo -South. and five dan were allowed.hin to do so. A tlira: was made to use the Church edifleo as a h1o9pital, but tihe inscripion on a stono tablet over the door: "Revermnco My Sanctuary," attracted the attention i>h some ofhlcr, touched his conscience and moved him to prohibit the threatened desecration.
