The itidignant voice of condemnation !<">n since went forth from the vaet majority i the people and press of America, and froi all free countries in Europe with entire nc animity. And more recently, too, thc " pla form" of an earnest, numerous and most foi ' midable convention of the sincere Republi puns, and still further, the emphatic letter o thc acceptance, by the candidate of that cnn vention, Gen- ?lohn C.

' ' It is neither just nor fit, therefore, that tb wrongs inflicted under ''Order 'rbu-ty-eight,1 and the other edicts and acta, of such power Bh^uld any longer be endured-certainly no by me alone.

Ihe words then spoken and the appeal at that time made and nov enforced by one year more of taxation-aud debt, and of blood and disaster, entreating the people to change the public servants'and their policy, not by force, but peaceabh', through the ballot-box.

FOSTER'S RE?LY. LTDQ'KS ?Ef'T OF THE Sol'TH, Hilton Head, S. C., June IC, 1864. Major General Sam. Jones, Commanding Con federate Forces, Department of South Car olina, Georgia and Florida: GENERAL : I have to acknowledge the ic ceipt this day of your communication of the 13th inst., informing me that .five generals and foriy-five fieldofficersof thcVnited Stales anny, prisoners of war, have been turned ov-;r to you by Brig. Gen. Ripley, with instruc tions lo see that they arc provided with quar ter* in a part of the city occupied by ron combutauts, the majoriry ol' which latter you state are women and children. You add that you deem it proper to inform me that it .is a part of thc city which his been for many months exposed to thc fire nf our guns. Many ! months since Maj. Gen. Gilimore, Cnited j Stales anny, notiiied Gnu. Beauregard, I hen j commanding iu Charleston, that the city would be bombarded. This notice was given that j noncombatants might be* removed, and thus j women and children spared from harm. Gen. j Beauregard, in a"communication to Gen.' Gillmoie, dated-August 22, iSf.H, informed j him that the non-combatant population of j Charleston would be reraoved-with all possi- I ble celerity. That women and children have j bein since retained by von in n part of thc j city which has been for nnny months expos- j ed to fire is a matter decided !>_.- your own | sense of humanity. I must, however, protest against your ac tion in thus placing defenceless prisoners of j war in a position to constant bombardment. It is an indefensible act of cruelty, and tan be designed only to prevent a continuance of J our fire upon Charleston. TL<*t city is ft de pot for military supplies, it contains not merely arsenals, but also foundii.es and fa? fories for the manufacture of munitions of I war. In its shipyards seven.! armed iron clads have alrwdy been completed, while others are still upon the stocks in course of ? construction. Its wharves and the banks of tire river on both sides of the city are lined with batteries. To destroy those means of j continuing the war is, therefore, our object and duty. You seek to defeat this effort and by means not known fo honorable warfare, but by placing* unarmeu and helpless priso- i ncrs under their tire. I have forwarded your j pomiuunit'atitjn to the President, with a re-1 quest that he place in my custody an, equal, i number of prisoners of like grade to ke kept by me in positions exposed to the fire of your ! guns, so lopg as you continue the course sta ted in your communication.

The great defeat whicli'llurbridge reported that hciH?lict?d op Morgan on the I2L1I, at Cynlhianft, turns out, as was suspected it would, tu have been all moonshine. Gen.

Mr. EDITOR:-In your issuo vt the 22d inst., I fee ruy name announced as a candidute for tho Legislature from Edgefleld District. - In the midst of a revolution, like that in which wo oro engaged, when all that we hold sacred au>l dear, is th? stake for i,hich wearo struggling, it is '.he duty of every mau, So fur as in his power lies, to divest himself of ovory selfish motive and devoto his entire energies, in whatever sphere of action he may be placed, to accomplish tba object Tor which wo are strivirg. Acting upon this principio I entered tho ranks of the army, dcter miued to remain tbero as long as lifo lasted, er until poaco was restored. lu accopting tho nomination I deem it proper to say, that if elected, it is not my intention to leave tho army, but to obtain a furlough to attend thc Session of the Legislature, and upon its ad journment, to return to my post. It is useless to soy that, being in the Army, it will be out of my power to canvass .the District, for I believe that the people of Edgefield would justly ignore the claims of any man to their sup port for i fliee wTio would dare to rosort to tho common modes of electioneering at the present time. Yours, respectfully, S. B. GRIFFIN. The Position in Georgia. On Thursday rays the"Intelligencer of the 9th, the greater part if the enemy's demonstrations wero made against our position in the neighbor hood of Green's Ferry. Heavy musketry firing and cannonading occurred during the day, but no heavy movement was made by the onciny to march on the position or take it by assault. Sbcrmau bas sent a large force to threaten eur left, aid doubtless to divert <jur attention from other and mere important positions. His move ments down the river in the direction of West Feint ~cannot be very oxteiisive or safely made, fer the reason that if an isolated force gets away iu that direction too far from their depot of sup plies on the railroad, they subject themselves to great privations without recuring any advantages. Such a force will doubtless be broken up by our cavalry, who aro watching the oporations. One ebject.of the movement is. probably te destroy our railway line to V7eet Point. The enemy have b en surprisingly quiet along the groator portion ofourliaes. Doubtless, they are seeking for the most available positions frem which to dig up to our front again, aud, if necessary, lay siege reg ularly to our positioa. It seems to be a deter min'ed policy with 6herman not te fight a regular battle, but to take this city by strategy and mere ly outweighing us. Surely the turning peint must be nearly roached. . i A True Account ol the Cavalry Battle at Trevil linn's. A correspondent of thc Richmond Sentinel, writing from Camp Itosser's Brigade, June 22, furnishes the following : I imprjve the first day of re?t we have had . for two weeks tn giving .you a true account r.f our late cavalry operations in resisting Sher man's " on "to flynchburg." I am more anx ious tj do this because some of the published accounts have been so erroneous and seeming ly invidious." One ignores entirely the pres ence o? Hampton, who commanded the whole, aid whose division did by fur the heaviest righting, and calla it M Fitz L.c's fight." An other ascribes miraculous success to Hisser's brigade, giving it all the prais?, wberea* tho glory of tb* fight was nobly ?hared hr cthrr. not mentioned. Now, I belong to Rouser'.-, i brigade, aud atn prond-of iw deeds, -hut do j not wish to see all thu praise cf .all our suc cesses ascribed to it; nor does lt need th Toice of adulation to pt recree *'* bonoraht? fame. Hut to thc ni?tuty o? thu fight : On the 8th instant, .wc left camp Meadow Bridge and marched MI ?Le dir e lion in which .Sheridan was known tobe mov ing. On Friday night sri. camped near Tre villiau's, Fitz Lee, who had come t p on a ? mad parallel with our division, caanpmg near Louisa C. IL, Thc next morning thc enemy attacked. The. attack waa sustained by thu dismounted men of Butler's aid YoOilg'a brigades, of Hampton's, and (I think) hy both brigades of Lee's, until early in the afternoon, j when Costar made a bold d;ish through thc space between our two divisions, got in t>ur rear and captured the ambulances aud led iiorses of Young'* brigade, a portion of But- : ler's and some caissons. Then commenced a ' cayfilry fight in earnest, which, fur spirit and 1 excitement, has rarely been surpassed. l?os- j ser's brigade was ordered fruin the left to fhc 1 rescue, and dashed in with its u-tial intrepidi ty. The Yankees attacked on the flank, and astounded at their own temerity, scattered in all directions, some of them trying to cut th?ir wav back, and otbors fnkiug io the zvtzti. ' The sceue a; pup ;-??e was r^ry ?! rich." ? regiment of Yankees went tearing dow 11 the road, and into thc dust which rose in clouds around, them darted Col. Waring, with bi? H Jeff Davis Legion,1' |n hot pursuit, * C'loso on his rear pressed another Yankee reglaoo' followed by one of Rosscr'**_a]i thundering along together ! Th? Yankees swarmed over the whole country. Chew drew his guns up into the form of a hollow square, and blazed away in all directions. Led horses were aban doned, caissons and ombulanocs let go, and finally Custer gat back with the loss of all his trophies, and having many of his men, among them his adjutant and many high offi cers. Fitz Lee has closed in en him, ou ti ther side, and I learn that he has captured a caisson or two nnd many prisoners, in addi tion to his recaptures. The next day, Sunday there was skirmish ing; ?nd occasional artillery firing till 5 .o'clock, when the enemy attacked. Butler's tfigade sustained tho brunt, and sustained it j nobly. A part of Young's was engaged, and Lomax'? later Tn the dny. I do not think Wickham M-.IT engaged, aud Kosser's was cer tainly not. Our assistance was offered to Butler at tho critical period of aheavy charge on him, but ho " would not accept." .Thus one brigade only, we may sny, fought thia heavy battle and hurled hack thc power of tho skillful raiders. Butler's is a new brigade, which has just ootne on from tho South. It has had little experience in fighting, and deserves all honor for its stern and gallant resistance to tho heavy attack mado oil it. Tho host charge was very severe. The euemy were killed and wounded in large numbers, and finally driven bick, completely broken and demoralized. Had wc known tho extent of their panic, and had we not been broken down ourselves and pursued that night, we would most certainly have started a rout which would haro broken up Sheridan's raids for some time. As*it was we completely defeated" Iii m-killing and wounding pre-pably 1,0150 and capturing S30. Wo missed, on thc field, the brilliant dash and eiir'r'y of pur old corouiander, but'repos ed safely on ihe'cool courage and discretion of thc new. V/e missed the inspiring voice and example of Rosser, ifter his wound, but the inspiration remained with bis own " peo ple" and encouraged all. The soldiers of Butlcr'-i brigade are worlhr of all honor for their gallant repulse, almost singlehanded, of Sheridan's whole force. The honor of South Carolina is brighter with the lustre of their deed.?. AH honor, too, to the whole cavalry, which,, amid toils, privation ?nd suffering, Jj;. ;,y/J hearts yr.fha|t4?i Md i.ar.Ss ?Jcr icady' tv t-irike down invasion. Since that fight we taro been mewing on I an interior to Sheridan'6 line, with occasional fights, of which fumy write you hereafter. Resultaunimportant. ' --? ? a itlackberry Wine and Vinegar. We fiud in an exchange some useful hints j about making blackberry wine and vinegar. Here they are : ULA C KB ER RT W1XK. The blackberry contains a very l;;rge quantity of juice, but it is contained in nu merous tfinall cclis, ali ol which mu.-t be broken .in order to.elfect its perfect liberation. This may oe done by.robbing the berries in a tub with a wooden pesjbs no better means are at band, though a wine prt&s might no doubt he used to great advantage. The ber ries should be ripe, fresh and clean lo make the nicest product. Take lieu as many ripe, fresh and clean blackberries ns you please, and, as fast as you rub them vp so as to break the -cells, throw them into a vat or tub of sufficient I size to hold all you propose to use nt one time. When they are thus prepared, {.dd to the whole mass the quam iv ol sugar you intend to use. Ordinary brown sugar will do well, and the proportions may bc from half pound to two pounds for each gallon of ber rina. If you desire a very light wine of the claret order, use very little sugar-if a strong er, heavier, bodied wine, use more but be careful not to use too much, or you will have a supply of cordial and cot wine. Accord ing to experience two pounds is the extreme limit. It is very probable a good light wine may be made witbont any sugar at all; but this we have uot tried. Having mixed the sugar with the berries, then add for each gallon of berries, one quart o.* boiling water, and stir the whole well to gether. The heat thus coraviunicated to the mass will cause a fermentation to commence without the use of yeast or auy other !?ub 6lance whatever. Alter standing about twen ty-four hours, the sce^s and skins ?ill most pf them rise to the top and may ' bc ski until off, and the clear liquid may bc drawn off j iuto the casks or other, vessels, destined to receive it. The vessels containing the wineshou'd now be removed into a cool cellar OP vault, and nothing remains to be done but to allow the vinous fermentation to go through its regular course. This it will do in the course of lour weeks, and the vessels may then be stopped or bunged up. We have lost two five gallon demijohns by putting in the stoppers too soon. They exploded and wont to pieces. Wine made in this way will keep well with out bottling. Any family, therefore, that can have access to-berries-and almost every far mer's family eau obtain them-may have a five, ten, or forty gallon cask of excellent wine -worth ten times the same quantity of cider, and a great deal better than the foreign wines -at a very small cost of money and labor. IL'ACCSEXMT VINEGAR. Do not throw away the seeds and skins af ter drawing off the must. Pour warm water over these until ' they ure entirely covered, and let them stand in an open vessel three or four days. Then draw off the liquid and let that stand until the acetous fermentation takes place. A small quantity of conree su gar or molasses will hasten the process. In this way a most excellent article of wine vin egar may be obtained; and those who have used the delectable stuff commonly sold un der the name of vinegar, will consider the quantity tims obtained front the blackberries worth more than the cost of all rkc'material* u*ed fer making bulb the wine and the vine gar- '_'_ --. ?? ^ Pls?tEsrECTFUi.-A c^nundraro was'given out at a New Orleans theatre: i; Why ia Mr. Lincoln like au Owl in day i'm? ?"
