When published, it serins not to have received the sanction of ihe President. and the rcmaiks of the hjcaminrr would imply that there weie some alliendurcliU to the bill, from which the injunction of teciccy had not been removed ? The bill pro| Ores a radical change ill the picaem mil.lai * oiganizaiions: all persons, not exempt by law. between the hges ol 18 and ycuis, aie to be enrolled at once for active sei vice, and lie as-igned by the Secietary ol \V ar Ui t i tupatiics nhrady in seivite; all persona between .-aid ages w llW a it' now in service, ami whose teim ol set vice w ill expiie bcloie tlic end ol the war, shall be continued in set vice three yea a In in the date of their orisiusl enlistment; nil companies, Intuitions, or Regiment*, whose (01 hi of soi vice wss for 1*2 months, have the right to reofgniii/.e within forty da)*. by elect, ing. all I licit officers, which lliey had a light heretofore to cloct; persons below 18 and those <tho\e :io yoais of age, who arc now in llegi' mollis or companies htreafl*r to 1* organized, shall bo required to iciuaiii in service for VO days, unless then places can bo soouer filled by i cct nits. The above are the loading feature* of the bill ; we will publish it entiie next week.? klanv believe the whole measure to be unwise and unnecessary : it is certainly a rapid ktiide towards consolidation?a practical disannulling of Statu Sovereignly and obliteration of Stata lines.

The great difficulty which nou-pioducers of provisions throughout the country have to encounter in getting supplies lor their families at living rates, is peculiarly felt by the people of Chuilcston : we aie disinclined to repeat the extraordinary pi ices which we were told aie being paid for provisions of our own raising.

The Regiment now numbers near loco men. The two companies I'rciu this District will receive about 20 more recruits, each. The men seem to hear the hardahipa and dangers of a soldier's life with admirable spirit and fortitude; true many of theui wish 'o get home?'"sweet home"?to see their families.? The deprivation of this pleasure is the greatest cross to the soldier ; and there are few, we insagiue. who have not liicd if, who appreciate the tremendous sacrifice which he makes in teariiur himself bom those in whom *11 Ilia earthly affection* are centered. We hare been ptomiaed a regular Correapon- ! deuce herealter lioni the l'itli Kcgiment, Iroin Mr* D J. Cai ter, wholiae recently joined Capt. Vanlandhtgbani'a Company.

The little preparation tor ; planting now going ou, doe* not aeetn calcula1 ted to developc to pei lection the strength of the land.

The preparation that has been jMde, however, ie generally for ooru , we believe the people arv beginning to entertain the conviction that the eel ration of the country do peode upoo the making of a bo%vy grain crop J the present year. We conn-rued with men of mature judgment, who sty that the possibility . of a short supply of provisions is the greatest ; danger which we need apprehend. As unreasonable as the proposition would have appeared ! a few months ago, it seems now to be generally allowed that a fnmiitt in the Confederate Sutca j is altogether possible. With thia terrible calamity threatening us, involving in its consequences the certain subjugation of the country ' to Northern dominion, how importaut is it tor the people who are left at home, not only to discard ail idea of planting cotton, hut to multiply their efforts to make a large grain crop. : It will require nil the eucigy and Inlror and laud at our command to be devoted to the making of bread, uiul the danger in tliat there will not then he enough. The limes are ominous ol trouble upon this very point, and die people should strive by eveiy means in their ; po > or to HTi rt die danger.
