Dear Lf.dqkr : Although stationed many miles from the high hills and beautiful scenery of Lancaster District, where our ears are continually saluted bv ti e roaring of the mighty Atlantic, aiul eve rything around from the broad deep ocean to the glorious palmetto, contrasting strongly with tho familiar scenes of our dear old home. We have not forgotten that home with its cherished associations. Nothing gives us more pleasure tijan to receive the Ledger, giving us details of what takes place in Lancaster, and it seems to Le an old friend just from home, though it does come about three weeks behind time owing to the promptness which characterize tfye mailing facilities of this region. The object of this letter is to give you and your readers some in formation of tho position of ourselves and the fortifications about this neighborhood. Our immediate carcasses are stationed on an Island bearing the attractive name of "Botany liay," not the one that certain English gentlemen of peculiar propensities are so fond of emigrating to, but one that has at least equal comforts and advantages. Being an Island, it is surrounded by water, though at low tide, we .i.~ - i? t - ? unto mo nu?niiinyea 01 h causeway. 1 lie aborigines aro various, and are divided into tribes and nations. Some of tbe most prominent are sand flies, seasick*, bug", fiddlers, fleas and rqnirrels. We are a prey to all but tbe latter, and in our turn wo prey upon them. Our diet (potatoes) is wholesome, though some times we have the cbolic, which requires us to keep a bottle of "Camphiro" constantly on hand, bldisto Island, adjacent to us, is far better than where we are stationed; its lands are very valuable, being wortlr over one hundred dollars per acre. The chief produc tion is long staple cotton, which brings from thirty to seventy five cents per pound. Its inhabitants aro generally very wealthy ; they live much to thenii selves, going hardly anywhere but Charleston, and then only on business Our nenrest neighbor is the Hon. Jno. F. Townsend, a gentleman of great wealth and hospitality. Ho has been for many years a member of the Senate of our State and is now a member of that glori ous bodv, the Convention, which severed us forever from a people whose very com nexion was contamination. lie is (he author of the f.?r famed pamphlet, "The South slope should govern the South,'' which did the cau?o of secession so much good not only in our State, hut through out '.lie entire South. A man of his great tab nt, perseverance, energy and courage, would guide the destinies of our Slate wilii signal ability, and wo hoi c the time is not fnr distant when the dig nitiea and responsibilities of our Chief Magistrate may rest upon his shoulders. He has not conlined himself to voting the State out of the Union, as some have done, but he has civen hie time mid means to |>ropi>re her to stay out of lite Union, snd to bis energy must be attribi uted, in a great measure, the complete / ness of our coast defences, especially South of Charleston. We (the Companies at this post) form a portion of lite }st Regular Regiment of 8. C. Infantry, com in an led by Col. Jno. Jiunovsnt, than whom there is no braver soldier or more perfect gentleman, and in cfaft fie may be called into action will ? - ? provo to the world that tho brave and skillful sons of Carolina are not yet ex hausted. This post is considered one of the most important on the coast, being a I fine harbor of easy entrence and within ' ' a short distance of Charleston, or as the | ' j T'ribunc calls it, "the hot bed of treason.'' ! , I Three batteries are located hero under > ! the command of Capt. T. A. Huguenin, ' i a graduate of the Citadel Academy.? Our First Lieutenant is J. Hamilton , | Warley, a brother of Lieut. A. i Warley, I > i who lately distinguished himself at the | | , mouth of the Mississippi as commanding j officer of tho "Manassas Ram." Other j I ifoops Biauonou t.ear the batteries, the | whole being under the command of Capt. 1 Thomas M. Raker, one of the "l'almetto t Regiment." Lieut. War lev's battery is composed of rifle guns, among them the 1 guns that fired into the "Star of the I West" last winter from "Morris' Idand," 1 and we are confident that Lieut. \\ ., will 1 either make them give as good an ne. count of themselves when the enemy try us as they did last winter or "die in his tracks" llie battery which the writer has cuarge of consists of howitzers and 24 pounders. This battery was located by Qenl. lieauregard, and is w^ll made. Capt. II. gives bis attention especially to the third battery, which consists of Col nmbiads and other heavy guns. We have plenty of ammunition and are prepared to give uncle Abraham's tribe a warm reception, if they should dare to pollute the sacred soil of South Carolina with their footsteps. Our woithy Sur> geon, Dr. Grituball, onp of the heroes of il - - - .uHiiassHs, win give then) a taste of his instruments if they do not give him too much work attending to our men. We have received information which 1 leads us to believe that this point will be attacked as soon as the enemy are pre' 1 pared, and perhaps, before this reaches 1 you, our guns will be heard defending 1 our soil. God grant all may be success- 1 Jul. as it will be a hard fight, and none but the Almighty Kuter of events can guide the storm of battle. ' With all the pestilences and swarms ' of insects to which we are marly rs, equal ' to the Egyptians of old, we have been exceedingly healthy. We have not seen t 13art since being here, but from all we c can hear be is equally favored by our f distinguished and affectionate coinpxn r ions. There is no chance of our coming ti up about Christinas times, as o.tiers have r been received which prevent all furloughs, n V <u must therefore be regular in coming, fi fur to he away from home is had enough, [ but to lose the Lkpgkk, is insupportable. I Is the "Home Guards" in a fighting c mood ? If they are "let 'em come."? t They can find plenty to fight down here i | from a sand fiy up to a Yankee. Among i oilier weapons let them bring their mosi quuo-uars, as weapons are scarce here. , If the Lkdgkk lias not l>ecoine tired of | us in our first letter, and if we do not spend the winter in New York, we will drop bim a line Again. "Homers" is still with us and so fyt that the cnly way we | can get him to open his eves is to cry, , "man the guns a vessel is coming." Yours until and after death, HONES. | Fast Day. i President Davis has desigr.ated Friday, | the 15th inst., as a day of fasting and Prayer throughout the Confederacy. The following is (he President's Proclamation : ( A Phoclamatiqn.?Whereas, it has p'easeu Almighty God, the Sovereign i DUposer of events, to protect and defend the Confederate States hitherto, in their 1 conflict with their enemies, and to be un. < 10 them a shield. I And, whereas, with grateful thanks we recognize Ilis hand, and acknowledge 1 that not unto us, but unto him belongelh the victory ; and in humble dependence upon Ilis Almighty strength, and trusting in the justness of our causo, we appeal to l(im that Ho may set at naught the efforts of our enemies, and put them to confusion and shame : Now, therefore, I, Jkfprrson Davis, President of the Confederate Stales, in yiew of the impending conflict, do here- 1 by set apart FRIDAY, the 15th day of November, as a day of fasting, humiliat ion and prayet ; and 1 do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy, and the people of these Confederate Slates, to repair 011 ' 1 that day tp their usual piaces of public j ' | worship, and to implore the blessings of 1 Almighty Uod upon our arms, that lib 1 may give us victory over our enemies, ' I preserve our homes and altars from pol- 1 1 lulion, and secure to us the restoration of I peace and prosperity.

JKFFKRbON DaVIS. / Battle of Leesburg. The Northern papers are extensively occupied with '.lie details of the above battle, wliicb they know as that of Ball's Bluff: It appear# that after the battle, Gen. McClellan repaired in person to the scene establishing his headquarters at Edward's Ferry, on the Maryland shore. On Thursday, two days afier the battle, (as well as wo can understand the dates, which are somewhat confused,) the enemy still had a considerable force on the Virginia side, and Gen. McClellan was preparing to throw across additional troops. 13ut the result of his diligent observations and scouting, finally satisfied him that thg Confederates wore in large force, and were preparing to renew the attack on Friday morning, lie thereupon changed his mind ; and at C I\ M., on Thursday, gave orders for the return of al. from the Virginia shore. The transit was made in canal boats, and was ef fected by 4 o'clock the next morning ; so that on Friday, not a Northern soldier remained ou the Leeshurg side. The Federal troops were afterwards moved still farther back, to Poolesville. A correspondence of the New York 'Tribune" slates the following in his ac. count of the Lees burg battle : * * At this juncture, Gen. Baker, who bad dismounted from his horse, and was advancing at the head of his command, cooiiv, but resolutely encouraging his men, received a ball through his head killing him instantly. The General's blood bespattered Captain Crownitigahield who stood beside him at the moment.? He never spoke. His body was immedii ately taken to the rear by his men, who freely wept at their loss. Ho was placed on a scow and transported to the island, and thence to the Maryland shore. IIis remains were sent to Edward's Ferry, and thence to l'oolesville. llis horse, which had beet) left standing, was afterwards shot. A small canvass satchell, containing his papers, I saw in the hands jf a young man to whom they were de? livered shortly before he fej!. This was the turning point of the bat le. The Confederates were five to one >f the Union force, and the latter were ina'.ly ordered to leave the field. The elreat was made after the Bull Bun pat1 ern, with slight improvements; the men oiling, sliding, and almost turning sumnersaulta dewn hid, to escape the galling ire which now assailed them from all i ? iiniKii. i lie vuiiicneinifii were COIIBlHIlli y reinforced, screaming like furies at iach onset. Before retreating tliey threw he six pounders down the hill into the iver. The howitzers were left on the ield, and fell into the enemy's hands. The fifteenth and Twentieth Massachuletts regiments suffered severely, losing a arge part of their number in killed and wounded. \ The Tammany regiment covered itself with glory. Capt. O'Meara oUon rallied iiis command, throwing defiance into the very teeth of the enemy, and showing the Confederates that he could scream equal to the worst of them. Captain O'Meara took charge of the landing, and refused to let any but woundeJ men enter the boat, ordering the sound troops to go back and pepper the Confederates.? iiis conduct was Very gallant throughout evincing a true and lofty courage, fjieut. Measef took command of the scow, and continued to erry over the wounded, who poured down the hill. Several times the Confederates fired upon him as he was crossing with the wounded inen. The fourth boat load was capsized by the men rushing into it in too great numbers, and the whole party, about fifty in number, well and wounded, were precipitated into the stream. Ten of the party, at least were drowned. A great many tried to swim the river, and sank from exhaustion. One half of those who are missing were drowned in tins manner. It is not yet known liow many* of our men have fal.-n into their hands. The destruction of life has been far greater, in proportion to the numbers engaged, than at Hull llun ! The Kirkwood Hangers, Capt. Shannon. This fine body of mounted men reached Hichmond on the 16th ult, in Fine health and spirits, after a march of three weeks from this place. They were received with marked Attention during their entire route to the Old Dominion ; and we have no doubt will add lustre to the Slate, whenever called upon to meet the invaders of Southern soil.

First News from "the Fleet" large bteamship Wrecked, &c. We had scarcely finished our article upon the Yankee Fleet, wiiten on Mon day when a dispatch was received at the Adjutant General's office, communicating 1 the fact that the Yankeo steamship, ! ''Union," had been wrecked near Fort Macon, find all an hoard of her taken j ' prisoners. These prisoners, 11 in number, arrived hero l?y the Eastern train of | Monday evening, and wcro marched to i 1 (ho Fair Ground to enjoy tho society of 1 gome of their brethren who have for ] some months past been partaking of the hospitality of North Caroliua. "The Union" stranded on Rogue Island, about 12 miles from Fort Macon, during the gale of Friday night, and tho Yankees, I with great difficulty, succeeded in saving 1.1 I- - / *?*' uiemaeives iroin a watery grave. v> uen tlio ship struck, and was evidently going to pieces, a boat, with a line, was sent on shore and the lino made fast. This was a ticklish operation, and the boat was in an ace of being swamped several times. After the hue was made fast (he boat was, by means of it, pulled backwards and foi wards to the ship untiil all the porsons on board were safely landed.? l'his whs a sort of triumphant entrance i upon routhern soil which the Yankees | did not bargain for. After recovering i their wind, the Yankees marched to Fort ! Macon and surrendered to the ollicer in i command. The prisoners stale that the ! ship was a new one and on her first < voyage. She was intended for a packet I to ply between New York and New Or. 1 leans, iter machinery worked beauti < fullv until the gale commenced on Tues< < day, on the night of which day the I "Union" was separated froiu tlio rot of I the Fleet. There were 04 horses on 1 hoard. All but '20, which are now in i our possession, were lost. The gale is | represented by the prisoners to have been i of tho most terrific nature. The prisoners i had nothing to eat from Wednesday t morning until they reached Furl Macon I I on Saturday. Throe men who had I ! reached the shore, were, fioin sheer ex- r I liaustion. left on tllM bonr-li and nrt ! t iiavu sicca died. The ship h'?d two pow ; eriul engines in her, which will be saved, as they are now visible in the water.? J The prisoners know nothing of the fate i e of the rest of the Fleet, but express the t opinion that many of the vessels have * gone to "Davy Jones' Locker," as the J oldest seafaiing man amongst theiu slates u that he never, in all his life, encountered so terrible a atorin. The hand of the s Almighty is evideutly raised against the t Northern vandals. On land and sea dis- I aster after disaster overtakes and overwhelms them. We should not be at all | surprised if more than half the vaunted Aimada were never heard of until the J advent of the day on which all secret# will be disclosed, at the prisoners state that they saw a large number of horses and cows which did n?>t belong to their ship floating about in the sea. These animals, of course, belonged to other vessels of the Fleet, and their fate indi cates that of their owners. ??? The Mercenaries.?One hundred and fitly of Lincoln's mercenaries, part of the second grand army of Washington, arrived yesterday from Richmond, and are quartered for ssfe keeping in our district jail. Coining to destroy our property, our people and our liberty, they have been foiled in the effort, and lost their own freedom. They have learned a lesson of wisdom, and no doubt found that they were mistaken in entering a crusade for tbe subjugation of a race of people who are their superiors. They are here a degraded herd, and unworthy of sym> patby or commiseration. Gveiy one de< serves to be shot, and the chances of lib eralion taken from him. We trust they will be entirely isolated from all eiternal communication, and looked upon as John Brown's men, as they are. Th<\ prison' era were under charge of Lieut. Porter, C S. A ., end n detachment of fiftyisix men from the Charlotte Greys, under command of Lieut. T. S. llenry. There are many boye among them, and are generally a rough looking aet.? Smith Carolinian. Attempted h'scape.? One of the Yankee invaders named ilaig, tried to escape { from Castlo l'inckr.ey, a day or two pre? fioua to the removal of hia companions to the City Jail. He plead illness at night, and persuaded the officer of the guard to allow him outside for a few minutes. He quietly took to the marsh, and t.avlcg secured a log of wood, worked his way to Huilivan's Island, where he was arrested, while attempting to make good his escape, by joining the fleet.? 1 ilaig is now in jail with (he other prison- j t ers.?Mtrcnry. The Trial of the Confederate Privateers In New York. Tlie New York correspondent of tlie Philadelphia Ledger, under date of 28th instant, says : There is scarcely room for a piu to stand in the U. S. Circuit Court room ' this afternoon, so eager is the desire of J the public to hear the closing argument for the defence of the privateersmen, by i Hon. James T. Brady. Previous to Mr. Brady, however, Mr. Duke, one of the associate counsel, reviewed the law of nations as applied to tho distinctions be iween privateering and piracy, The prisi oners, be contended, could not be convicted. The Confederate QovQj-nment, under which these men acted, had been fecoguized as a belligerent by the most civilized nations of Nurope. It would not j do for this Government to put ita bead under its wing, like the ostrich, and suppose that other countries were not watching its actions and the course of events. Mr. Sullivan followed on the same side. Ho appealed to the jury to meet the issue like men, no matter what pressure might be brought to bear upon them from political causes and to do jus lieo by discharging the prisoners. They mils', hear in mind that the Government of the Confederate States had tho same right to issue letters of marque that our revolutionary forefathers had,and if those men were wrong, so w<-ro their predeces surs. Mr. ltrady then took the floor and adIrossed the jury. He regretted that the ] trial had been called on at this juncture when tho public mind was so prone to excitement ; yet tho city of Now York was showing by it that free speech and freedom of opinion were not yet extinct. He then wont on at great length to re- , new the cause of tho war ? which was t not or.e for the abolition of slavery?and | passed to a careful analysis of tho testiuony that had been submitted. He also | oferied to the law governing the case of ( lie Joseph, recently tried in Philadelphia. . !ii tho course of f his argument, the earned gentleman spoke very plainly in egard lo Mr. Lincoln, and other inein* ! >ers of the Government, so mucU ?o, lint at times Lin fiends were appreheti* 1 ive lie was making a special plea for 1 etl. Davis, as well as Lin clients. Nev- ' rtheless, his eloqueuce frequently elicited 1 nirsts of applause from the audience, rliicli the Court, however, promptly re* t iressed. The argument will l>e contin* . led till to morrow. ] The 1'hiladelphia Ledger, of the 20th ! iays that there are tive vessels lying \ here, captured while trying to run the , blockade. I' The President's Wtje.?The Washing J ton correspondent of the Spriugtield lie ?U LI icon makes the following comments, upon a power in tho land which is uol provided for in the Constitution : We have for the first time iu the his lory of Presidents, a President's wife who seems to he ambitious of having a finger in the government pie. tier frierd com pares Mrs. Lincoln to Elizabeth in her statesmanlike tastes and capabilities. She is by no means a simple, domestic woman, but was evidently intended by* nature to mix somewhat in politics. That she does so is undeniable. i*he has sru tins made and unmade the political fortunes of men. She it said to be much in conversation with cabinet members, and has before now held correspondence with them on political topics. Some go o far as to suggest that the President ia indebted to ber for some of hit ideat and projects. She it a very active woman.? Nothing escapes her e)e. She manages the affairs of the White House (I do not mean Slate affair*) with ability, and will tee to it that the 'old man' does not return to Springfield penniless. In foreign countries her turn for politics could not subject her to adverse ctrlicisiu, but the American people are so unused to these things, that it ia not easy for them to like it. Mrs. Douglas was a good deal of a politician, though she never injured her husband's position, but rather improved it, by ber social alliances. Miss Lnne never alluded to politic*, and Mrs. Pierce knew nothing about them. She wan probable the most simple hearted woman that ever prosided at the President's U.I ble, The word "simple" is not used in a depreciative sense. She was a pureminded, unselfish, Cbrislain and kueer nothing at *11 of the world." Anecdote of% Gen. Kvunt.?A Yank** prisoner told 0?n.

It is bared on Lincoln's thorough conviction of Fremont's incapacity as a General, and his gross profligacy in expenditures of the public money under his administration." .1 n. .. -- w ^vv'/vwr* IV VIA!
