We don't like to giv place to rimnoy, but when they coibe in this form and character, we give way for once. A soldiei- reports as a fac$ that a courier frontShermnai to Grant has been captured, with a'dispatch to the~ effect, that un * less assistance be soon .ren4ered, his army will 'go up,' for lack of provisions and ammrunition. .Tile same man, who is jusi from Richmond, says - hat the negroes are enlisting ripidly, drilling thoroughly, and are making firie looking soldiers. * Great enthusiasm prtvails, one gentleman is said to have off'ered three hundred thousand dollars hr one hundred colored recruits, he to command them. The, army also,is said to bein fine spirits, - d despondency nowhere exists. An individual who has lga through the mill, ad who has travelled north, says thiat Canada is -fell of yankee deserters, their name Is legion. We might give more, but thin this eiough fb- one-day._____-____ - ~ oCouldHEot The late themg raid of Sherman developes -the fact, that "all was grist which came to their mlt," in'other words they stole everything in -their way. We hear of one shabby villain who took from a lady's head her winter bonnet-her only one-ard filled it' with dtied apples. To what bae mes do we come.

The arse -nal buildings, market honse, court house, print ing.offices, iron foundries, mills, cotton factories, oil works, and a-large number of private dwell ings were given to the flames. The -o'ple-were phjdered, stripped of provisions, and left in dan grr of stervation. "4 "every eqtiyage of every sort, ad every Lorse that Ead fr leg Was in requistion to conve 'youbg men and Mad'ens, old nieri ariA children,' to see them. The ladies were- in full force, full beadty, and brimful of enthusiasm. They smiled and wept, waved and cheered, and shed bouquets brodcast. No less thaft one. thousand million *JonqWi and DAffodils hav been sacrificed (and nobly) in the' caOse. That'if the way ladies, be not 'chary of four smHez-and boquets, the soldier boys feel glad dened by your presence, and never grow weary lolkiag at ydr bright, sympathising faces. The gentb tar and happy smile, gives a silver lining to the cloud, and heals nd6berless wounds, while the beart #wells, and the arms grows stronger. Notice the soldier, giy him your smiles, yoar sympaty. ~ A L force of the 'enemy made' their apr pearance on the evening of the 19th Februaryi and were repulsed by a h*ty Iy of- citizens T der Co.

YankeetegraP.L Being favored with a glitupse at a Courier of the 27th, n1t., we make a shrt summary of the principal points found in its tekegraphic eblumn. Of cotse it abounds in bombakt aud.replete with untruth Hear what they'say: Their pt house-burner, Sherman, denies the late replses by Gen. Johnston; -that he.has fol loved out, successfully, the programme laid down befbre leavingt6atinah T and being now joined by Sch1field,'is able to whip the combination of Lee and Johnston, and will be with Grant in a very short time. That Johnston ha*s bt 40,000 aien, who are comp jtely demoralized gnd cannot stanid befbre him. That the whole effptive force of,the Confederacy is only 120,000 men, all told. Shermian thinks the little affair on hand -almost wOdad- up, and with that view in his -transit through Fa et-teville, N. C., blew up only the arsenal aii'powder' magazine, because neither North or ?outh would neced pow,der-much longe4 Lincoln believes there will be .but little more fighting, that his work is nearly finished. Lee is considered hopeless and despondent 'and will s'ooz sutrender his tatterinelion band of rebels, and that propesitient to give up slavery, and lay dowri-armsawill be gladlly gcepted by leading rebels.

The announcement of the death of tbs gallant' officer will fill the heitts of many with sadness, for, y the- unvkryidg exercise of his'many oble qualities, he had drawn arouid him a large cir ci of fk1bnds. It is unadvisable, in a notice of this king, to set forth a co~mplete.history of Colonel MAXFEz, bat it is a source of genuine pleasure- to kno'w, that in after times whefi the lives of our devoted defenders shall come to be written, his nape will receive completejustice. Colonel MAFFrr was en'dowed with a sound, Vigorous mind-an'even temper and a rare noble ness of heart. He was genetous, true and just. At the early age of nineteen. years, he mar ried Miss Lavinia GaHman of this. District, with whom he lived most happily fpr a fetyears when Death snatched her away, leaving - a tender daughter to console the bereaved husWnd. Not long after he had attained his majority, 0e *as elected Major of the Upper Battalion of the 39th Regiment S. C. Militia, and in a few yeara was chosen Colonel of the same- Regiment. In t6at pdstibni"e first evin&d the- possession of that aptfide for the military service, which he after wards so hongrably illustrated on the battle- Id At the commencement of our present d' culty with the United States, be-was among the first to tender, his sertices to his country, and in April 1861, be began service as Captain of the 4ckens Guard, Company C., oft the Third S. C. Regiment, in which capacity be. proved faithful to every trste: which his comrades gratefully ackqowledged-, whpn, in 1862, it the re-organiza tion of the army, they unanimously re-elected him their captain. He served in this position throughout the. campaigns in Virginia, in 1861, and uxtil 1st July, 1869. In the battle of Savage Station, his Lieutenant Colonel-the lamened Gailingt'n, was killed,.and he, being senior cap tain, was promoted Major. In 'the battles of Maryland Heights and Sharpsbarg, during-the ensuing September, he acted well his part and passed through' unhirt. But in' the bbody and glorious battle of Fredericksburg,. on the 12th day ? December, 1862, he was Again wounded, and although it proved painful, he remained o' t'ht battle field to assist with bis counsel .ad cheer by his presence On Christmas 'day that year, he led to tbre altar Miss Sallie Halfacre, the 4aughter of Hu-iry H4lfacre, Esq., of this district. In 1863, in the battles of Zoar ChIrch, Chan-. c4lersville, Salem. Church and Gettysbarf, he commanded his Regiment, -the two other field oticers being absent, having been severely wounded. . 1is success as an independent- tegi metal commander was complete. In November of that year he was present with his Regiment iu the bloody skirmishes around Knoxville, Ten nessee. In 1864, after Lngtree's Corps had re tunedato Gen. Lee, he.participitted in the battle of the Wilderness Qon the 6th of May. Here his leader,around whom crustojed so many rich hopes for the future-the intrepid Nance-feIl. By tbis event bhe wras made Lietenant ColongL. He took part in the battles of Spottsylvazfia,Ndrth Anna Rua, Cold Harbor, and in the skirmi.shes around Petersburg. Gn the 4th day of August, he was asgned to the command et the 7th S. C. Reg't, a sister dommnand in the sam~e Brigade. Kershaw's Division h&ving been ordered to Lieut. Gen. Early in the Shenarrdoah'alley, he took part in all dreir movements uintil the 26th.day of Augustg when he was captured while in command of an extensive picket 'line in front oi Charlestown, Va. Not long afterwards his friea&'and Colonel, the chivalrous outherford fell mrtally wounded, and Lieut. Col. 'affett thus becaTh"CloneL. But he dsnever permitted, Ibecause of his captivity, to assume command. Just as hre was about to be exchanged, his greatspitit brurst its shackles-be died! 'Oeep is the .sorrow fgt, by his devoted RegirAnt, forghe had won 'their entire conifidence by ' unfalterable devotion( 6*- the cause, .bis ready obedience to his gaper6rs' and by the re peateud exhibition of the true qualities of a comn niandel-. His family have i6tn a devoted me br, th'e community an upright, bigh-mninded,uge ful citisen, and .his pomrades a leader they loved to follow !. Let us censole ourselves ina meaaure fpi his loss, with the thought that though his form is bidden from us by thg1grave, yet,the memory of his worth agl deeds is-still ours, and will eier be chenished.

O FFICERS arid solAiers of the Seventh Regi ment of Sauth Carulina Cavalry, who are di6 absent without leave, are called upon, to re ~urn with.60t delay to their command. Many brave men linger to protect their suffer ing hom~es, or to engage 'the enemy upon jheir own spil.- Cowards make the, same excbe ;- but by remaining absent from- their posts'in the army, they weaken our strength and postpone the' hour of victory and peace. Spidiers must promptly return, o1' be pablished as."deserters," arrested 'as "jeserters," and pun -ished as "deserted." - The destruction of railro'ads is no excuse. Brave men 'will make their journey on foot, or on horseback, and rejoil' their posts of duty is~ the .army. It will be no excuse to.at soldier, that he is doing duty iD another command; this can ol e permitted by an. order from the Commander inChief-without his order it is a njltary crime., It is especially urged upon inen to brin;t with them good horses.
