Our community has been pained by the re port ol the death of this estimable citizen, a member of ("apt. Wylie's Company of \oliinterra, now in set vice in Virginia. He died in Richmond, on the 9th inst., of Typhoid Pneu, monin Mr. Stewman, by a consistent and stiaighb lor w.ml coin so of life, had son the respect and confidence of every good citizen of our DUliict. For two succesaive terms, lie was Cleik of tlic Court of Sessions and Cotmnon riras for tliis Ibstnot, ami discharged the dui tics ol his office with promptness, efficiency, and fidelity. Any one who bus had business iu the Cleik's Office within the last eight years, can test'fv to the regulaiily and neatness with which its nffiiiis were conducted, lie was always in his office at the right time, and kept everything pci taming to it in its right place.? tic wai prized lor hi* raic business qtiulities, and respected and admired for hi* moral, con1 sistcnt and upright cliaiuctcr. lit* liad been ill the tnilitaiy service lor about Ion months picv oni to his dt'inh, having been among the first to take up arms in defence of his country. In liia death, the country loses a good soldier, (lie Iiistrict afi exemplary and useful citizen, * and hi* widowed mother a dutiful and affectionate son. Our twelve mouths Volunteers The rpiestiou of the ie<eiili*tmeiit oi the twelve months volunteers, is one of vital imi porlaiicc to our I ioveniment, and i* exciting consiiUiable attention at this time. By far the larger pait of the Confederate* army are twelve months men. and their term of ^service will expiie wiiiiin two or three months f.om this lime. The remainder were enlisted for "three years or the war," and the (ioveniment is endeavoring to induce the twelve months men to re-enlist for "two yean?,or the war," thus placing all of our forces upon a perfect equality in ' respect to their term of sorvico. The result depends entirely upon the volunteeis thein* selves; strong efToits arc being made to get tin in to re*eniMt. It is evident that if one iiall or three-fourths of our at my, who may now lie considered vei* orans, aie to he disbamleil in the Spiing, and their places filled by raw recruits, our Govern, uient will be wholly unpiepared to repel the immense lorce which ia nil probability will be precipitated upon us alrout that time* Kvcn ill the cvsiil of ? ir,-n??r?l m nlla?i?nl ? _ n , l-li? additional tun < * will no doubt t>e brought into the field Mi-CIi'IIaii ha* a force of 6nO,l.0O enlbtcd for the war, well drilled and equipped.

Mr Kditok : Having a few leisure mo i | inents, I take the privilege of giving you a . short "ketch of our movements tip to the j | present tune The nature arid character of j our call to arms, is generally known to nil ! the citizens of our District. After checr! fully responding to the call by volunteering, I ! we immediately proceeded to organize our j I company, nnd after its organization, were I ordert d immediately to Camp Hampton ? j The time wna hastily agreed upon for our j J departure, from our long loved homes, fun I i ilies and friends; and on Mundav evening 1 we look up our line of inarch, with little of . 1 no arrangement for conveyance to Camden, having but a slight preparation made for , j clothing, and a number of us almost shoe- . j leas. We re.-.ched Camden on Tuesday j I evening, about 3 o'clock, and formed litre at Kirk wood ; nnd were escorted down to the i i .Market House by the citizens At this time ! some warm hearted gentlemen informed ' J Cnpt.

Wednesday morning we look our leave - for ("amp Hampton and arrived on the i ground about 10 o'clock the same day- ? ! Oar Captain soon selected our location, the | tents heir g already pitched, we were soou ! fixed otV as conveniently as the location i would admit of. Kurly next morning we w.-re mustered ir.to sen Ice by Col.

Matters rested quietly fur several days, ; wnen more companies arrived, enough to , form another regiment, nod then wo had Considerable excitement ni to who should ; be our uaminandiiig officers, finally, on ihe U9lh January, the matter was settled by I the election of Cnpt.

Hindi company was assigned its post ; Cnpt Helton's company is (K) and becomes the 7th company i.i line of battle The next thing that is likely to claim our attcnlior., is that of uniforming the I Regiment Upon thin subject, I am wholly j unprepared to iuipnrt any correct informs. j | tion. I may safely sav, that Ihe Regiment ' will be uniformed as early as possible. Col Abney is very anxious that the Captains assume the payment for Ihe uniforming of their companies; and receive back the money w hen it is drawn. Rut I think the t'sp tains led a delicacy in taking hold of that arrangement. Upon this subject, our company feels peculiarly embarrassed The companies preceding oura were uniformed ' by Ihe cjlixcns of Danes iter District. We , I I hfc "'v* linve no means of our own. being hurried off from home, and what little we wero able to command before leaving, has been nlrea dy exhausted, by being forced on several [ occasion* to buy bread or do without.? j Many in our company have hardly money | enough to furnish paper and pay postage j on the letters they desire to send to their { loved onoe at home ; hut w hile I make this ' statement of fact*, I do it with no undue | appreciation of the liberality of our citi j zons, for perhaps, they luive already done to the extent of their ability, but atn sorry that their resources wcie exhausted on the first companies. This much is to be ' hoped for at least, that our families nt home j will not be allowed to sulfer for something I to ent.

[From the Charleston Mercury.] The Capture of Roanoke Island. 1'rivute accounts which lime reached ui | show that Roanoke Island was yielded only j after a desperate and brilliant defence. One | after another, throe columns of the enemy, I consisting of 500 ) men each, assailed our | little band of 2100 heroes ; and one after I another the attacking columns were gallantly driven back.

During Friday night the enemy were per j milted to land tlmir forces, supposed to be [ about five thousand, at Widow llaum'a ' point, which is above our lower battery.? j We say they were permitted, because it is ! the opinion of those acquainted with the ! localities, that they could linve been easily j prevented from landing.

The surrender was made about eleven o'- 1 clock Saturday morning; and though, as we learn, our ammunition was all carried, ofT the Island before its surrender, yet all j our forces were then undo prisoners of' war. The enemy came up in their boats on the south side of the Inland, and by means of their bout how itrers, effected a landing in the rear of our batteries, and that after landing about fifteen thousand on all parts of the Island, they marched up and fl inked j the batteries. It is ulno reported that notwithstanding our nmall force of twenty-one hundred men against about f.fteen thousand, on some parts of the Island the resistance was of the most desperate nature, arid a hand In hand contest lasted for a considers, ble lime, showing the most desperate courage.
