We havo not forgotten that home with its cherished association?. Nothing gives us more pleasure than to receive the Lkdoer, giving us details of what takes place in Lancaster, and it seems to be an old friend just from home, though it does come about three weeks ] behind timo owing to the promptness which characterize tqe mailing facilities of this region. The object of lliia letter is to give you and your readers tome in formation of the position of ourselves and the fortifications about this neighborhood. Our iimncdiato carcasses are stationed on an Island bearing the attractive name of "Botany 13av,w not the one that certain English gentlemen of peculiar propensilies 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 tiue. we have the advantages of a causeway. The aborigines are various, and are divided into tribes nml nations Rn-no of il>& most prominent are sand.flies, sea'tick*, | bug0, fiddlers, fleas and squirrels. We are a prey to all but the latter, and in our turn wo prey upon them. Our diet (potatoes) is wholesome, though some times we have tho cholic, which requires us to keep a bottle of "Camphiro" constantly on hand. Edisto Island, adjaceut to us, is far hotter than where we are stationed; its lands are very valuable, being worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Tho chief produc tion is long staple cotton, which brings from thirty to seventy five conls per pound. Its inhabitants arc generally very wealthy ; they live much to tfienii selves, going hardly anywhere Lut Charleston, and then only on business Our nearest neighbor is the Hon. Jno. F.

This post is considered one c tho most important on the coast, being i fine harbor of easy entrcnoe and withii ' a short distance of Charleston, or as th j l\ibunc calls it, "the hot bed of treason, t Three batteries are located hero undc ' the command of Capt. T. A. llugucnir I a graduate of tho Citadel Academy.? Our First Lieutenant is J. Ilamiltoi Warley, a brother of Lieut. A.

Olhe troops stationed near the batteries, th whole being under tho command of Capi J Thomas M. liakor. one of the "l'almeth Regiment." Lieut.

Our wot thy Sur geon, ut. UriiPltall, onp of tb9 heroes ol Manassas, will give them 11 taste of hie instruments if tliey do not give hiiu toe much work attending to our men. We have received information which leads us to believe that this point will Lit attacked as soon as the enemy are pre pared, and perhaps, before ibis readier you, our guns will be beard defending our 6oil. God grant all ninv he successful, as it will be a hard fight, and none but tbe Almighty liuler of events can guide tbe storui of battle. With all tbe pestilences and swarms of insects to which we are martyrs, equal to the Egyptians of old, we Lave been exceedingly healthy. We have not seen Hart since being here, hut from all we can bear be is equally favored by our distinguished and affectionate compan ions. There is no chance of our Coining up about Christmas times, as otders have been received which prevent all furloughs. ! V ?u must therefore be regular in coming, for to he away from home is bad enough, but to lose tbe Lkiiguu, is insupportable. Is tbe "Hoine Guards" in a fighting mood ? If they are "let 'em come."? j Tliey can find plenty to fight down here from a sand fly up to a Yankee. Among other weapons let them bring their mosi quito-bars, as weapons are scarce here.

JKFFKUbON DAVIS. 1 ' Battle of Leesburg. The Northern papers are extensively occupied with the details of the above ^ | battle, which they know as that of Ball'i ? ' lllufT: I ? J It appears that after the battle, Gen McClellan repaired in person to the scenr r I establishing his headquarters at Edward'i ' Ferry, on the Maryland shore. Or Thursday, two days after the battle, (at n I well as we can understand the date* ' | which are somewhat confused,) the ene i tny still had a considerable force on tlx ^ ) Virginia side, and Gen. McClellan wai r preparing to throw across additional C troops. But the result of his diligent ' observations and scouting, finally satisfied 0 bun that the Confederates wore in largt 8 force, and were preparing to renew the e attack on Friday morning, lie thereup< ^ on changed his mind ; and at 6 I*. Nl. ^ on Thursday, gave orders for the returr of al. from tlie Virginia shore. The tran sit wb3 made in canal boats, and was ef fected by 4 o'clock tho next morning ; sc * that on Friday, not a Northern soldier remained on the Leesburg side. The Federal troops were afterwards moved still farther back, to Boolesville. A correspondence of the New York ''Tribune" states tho following in his ac. count of the Leesburg battle : * * At this juncture, Gen. Baker, k who had dismounted from his horse, and j was advancing at the head of his comk mand, cooliy, but resolutely encouraging , his men, received a ball through his head C killing him instantly. The General's . blood bespattered Captain Crowningshield , who stood beside him at the moment.? Ho ne^er spoke. His body was imtnedii , ately taken to the rear by bis men, who , freely wept at their loss. He was placed , on a scow and transported to the island, , and thence to the Maryland shore. His remains wpr? sent to F.#l uinnlV and thence to Poolesville. Ilia horse, , which had been left standing, was afterwards shot. A small canvass satchell, containing his papers, I saw :n the hands > of a young man to whom they were de| livered shortly before he fell. This was the turning point of the bat tie. Tho Confederates were five to one of the Union force, and the latter were finally ordered to leave the field. The retreat was made after the Bull iiun pal1 tern, with slight improvements; tho men rolling, sliding, and alino6t turning summersaults dewn hid, to escape the galling fire which now assailed them from nil points. The Confederates were constant, ly reinforced, screaming like furies at each onset. Before retreating they threw the six pounders down the hill into the i river. The howitzers were left on the field, and fell into the enemy's hands. 1 The fifteenth and r wentietli Massachusetts regiments suffered severely, losing a large part of their number in killed and wounded. % ' The Tammany regiment covered itself ' with glory. Capt. O'Meara o!ten rallied ' his 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 landiog, and refused to let any but woutuled men en? ter the boat, ordering the sound troops to ' go back and pepper tho Confederates.? 3 His conduct was fery gallant throughout : evincing a true and lofty courage. Uieut. i Messef took command of the scow, and > continued to -erry over the wounded, who I poured down the hill. Several times the r Confederates fired upon him as be was . crossing with the wounded men. The fourth boat load was capsized by the men ) rushing into it in too great numbers, and > ! the whole r.artv. about fiftv in nuinhar i : well and wounded, were precipitated into j ! the stream. Ten of the party, at least were drowned. A great many tried to swim the river, and sank from exhaustion. I One half of those who are missing were i drowned in this manner. It is not jet known how many of our men have fai|en , ! into their hands. The destruction of life i has been far greater, in proportion to the - numbers engaged, than at Hull Kun ! , The Kirkwood Rangers, Capt. Shanj ; no jr. This fine body of mounted men f readied Richmond on the 16th ult , in , fine health and spirits, after a march of . ' three weeks from this place. They were f received with marked attention during , their entire route to the Old Dominion ; and we have no doubt will add lustre to i , the State, whenever called upon to meet f the invaders of Southern soil. Their ; destination is not yet known?whether 1 towards the Potomac or the Peninsula, but are in readiness whenever they re. i caf*e orders to march.? Camden Confnl ' trait. From the Raleigh Register. First News from "the Fleet" large Steamship Wrecked, &c. We had scarcely finished our article 1 upon the Yankee Fleet, wltten on Mon day when a dispatch was received at the Adjutant General's office, communicating ) the fact that the Yankee steamship, 1 'dLJnioi)," had been wrecked near Fort 1 Macon, and all an board of her taken ' prisoners. These prisoners, 71 in num> her, arrived hero by the Eastern train of Monday evening, and wero marched to 5 the Fair Grount]^ to enjoy tho society of 1 some of their brethren who have for ' some months past been partaking of the ^ hospitality of North Carolina. "The ' Union" stranded on liogue Island, about 1 12 miles from Fort Macon, during the ! gu'e of Friday night, and tho Yankees, I Willi trrnut rliflliMlllv in oouinn e>-~ ?'Vi -? " > ? themselves from a watery grave. When ' the ship struck, ami was evidently going to pieces, a boat, with a line, was sent on shore ami the liuo made fast. This was ' a ticklish operation, and the boat was in an ace of being swamped several limes. 1 After the line wns made fast the boat was, by means of it, pulled backwards and foi wards to the ship untiil all the persons on board were safely landed.? rtiis whs a sort of triumphant entrance upon routhern soil which tho Yankees did not bargain for. After recovering their wind, the Yankees marched to Fort ! Macon and surrendered to the ollicer in | command. The prisoners Mate that the 6hip was a new one and on her first voyage. She was intended for a packet | to ply between New York and New Or. leans. Her machinery worked beauti fullv until the gale commenced on Tues" day, on the night of which day the "Union" was separated from the re->t of the Fleet. There were 04 horses on board. All but 20, which are now in our possession, were lost. The gale is represented by the prisoners to have been of tho most terrific nature. The prisoners had nothing to eat from Weduesday morning until they reached Fort Macon on Saturday. Three men who had I reached the shore, were, fiom sheer exhaustion, left on the beach and no doubt , have since died. The ship had two pow j orful engines in her, which will be saved, I ? as they are now visible in the water.? The prisoners know nothing of the fate of the rest of the Fleet, hut express the opinion that many of the vessels have gone to "Davy Jones' Locker," as the oldest seafaring man amongst thein states that he never, in all his life, encountered so terrible a storm. The hand of the Almighty is evidently raised against the Northern vandals. On land and sea disaster after disaster overtakes and overwhelms them. We should not be at all surprised if more than half the vaunted Armada were never heard of until the advent of the day on which all secret^ will be disclosed, as the prisoners stale that they saw a large number of horses and cows which did not belong to their ship floating about in the sea. These animals, of course, belonged to other vessels of the Fleet, and their fate indicates that of their owners The Mercenaries.? One hundred ar.d fitly of Lincoln's mercenaries, part of the second grand army of Washington, arrived yesterday from Richmond, and are quartered for safe keeping in our district jail. Coming to destroy our property, our people and our liberty, they hare been foiled in the effort, and lost their own freedom.

Mercury. The Trial of the Confederate Privateers In New York. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, under date of 28tli 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 men were wrong, so were their predecea sors. Mr. Brady tlion took the fl>?or Hitd addressed the jury. He regretted thai the ] trial had been called on at this juncture when the public mind was so prone to excitement; yet the city of New York was sliowmg by it that free speech and freedom of opinion were not yet extinct. He then wont on at great length to review the cause of the war?which was not one for the abolition of slavery?and passed to a careful analysis of tho testimony that bad been submitted, lie also refer ted to the law governing the case of the Joseph, recently tried in Philadelphia. In tho course of ^ his argument, the learned gentleman spoke very plainly in rogard to Mr. Lincoln, and other members of the Government, so much ao, that at times his fiieuds were npprelien ive he was making a special p ea for Jetl. Davis, as well ms his clients. Nevertheless, Ins eloquence frequently elicited bursts of applause from tho audience, wliicli iho Court, however, promptly repressed. The argument wiil be continued till to-morrow. The Philadelphia Ledger, of the 29ih says that there are tive vessels lying j there, captured whila trying to run the j blockade. The President'* Wtfe.?The Washing ' ton correspondent of the Springfield He ) pullicaii makes the following comments, upon h power in lite land winch ia uol provuied for in the Constitution : "We have for the tirsl lime iu the hia torv of Presidents, a president's wife who seems to he ambilioua of having a finger in the government pie. Her frierd com pares Mrs. Lincoln to Quean Elizabeth in , her statesmanlike tastes and capabilities. She is by no means a simple, domestic woman, but was evidently intended hy*l ' nature to mix somewhat in polilica. That she doea so ia undeniable, Srhe has ere this made and unmade the political fortunes of men. Site ia said to be much ia conversation with cabinet members, and baa before now bold correspondence with their on political topics. Some go ao far as to suggest that the President ia iudebted to her for some of hia ideas aud projects. She is a very active woman.? Nothing escapes her eye. She manages the affairs of the White House (I do not | mean Slate affairs) with ability, and will see 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 cirlicism, but the American people are so unused to these things, that it is not easy for them to like it. Mrs. Douglas was a good deal of a politician, though she never injured her - ?a- ~ 57^. I husband's position, but rather improved it, by ber social alliance*. Mis* Lane never alluded to politic*, and Mr*. Pierce knew nothing about tbern, 8be waa probable the most simple bearted woman that ever presided at tbe President's ti t ble, Tbe word "simple" is not used in a deprecialive sense. She was a pureminded, unselfish, Christain aud knew nothing at all of the world." Anecdote of \ Urn. tivant.?A Yankee prisoner told Gen. Evan* at Leeeburg that tbe 8outh could not triumph in ibis war unless they were prepared to "wade L t " ? xnee ueep in noruieru oiood." The Cien , eral replied that we were willing to go brtait deep, only leaving our arma free to . hew down our enemiee. uig puoiic to near ttiu closing argument for tlie defence of the privateersmen, by Hon. James T. Brady. Previous to Mr. Brady, however, Mr. Duke, one of the associate counsel, reviewed the law of nations as applied to the distinctions be tween privateering and piracy. The prist oners, lie contended, could qot be convicted. Tlie Confederate Government, un? dor which these men acted, had hoen recognized as a belligerent by tho most civ- i ilizod nations of Nurope. It would not do for this Government to put its head J under its wing, like the ostiich, and suppose that other countries were not watching its actions and the course of events. Mr. Sullivan follow ed on the same side. lie 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 lice by discharging the prisoners.
