We are informed, (says the Southern GuarHlian,) that Genet al iioaurcgard liaa iMued an order to the several Reg'iucjrts of Reserve* of the Slate of South Carolina, suspending arty and all elections in the same tor Field Officers, directed in General Orders No. 62, A. k. I. General, Dec. 23, 1802, to take place to-day, the 1st ot January, until the orders of the War Department can be fully ascertained. The Commanding General states that he feels imperatively obliged by the public interest to take this course in consideration of ,the short term of service for which the Reserve Regiments of this State have been received into service, and the confusion that must inevitably ensue from any change in cSSccrs at this important juncture, when a descent on the coast, and attack on the city of Charleston are impending and in view of the further fact that those Regiments were mustered in the service of the Com federate Stales as organized, and with their present officers for a period of ninety days.

Bragg's Despatch The despatch of Gee. Bragg (says the Carolinian) gives us the welcome intelligence that the enemy at Murfreesboro has been driven from his strong position and was falling hack. There is reason to hope ^ that the victory is eoinplete, and that the disasters to the Federals wilt end in com plete discomfiture. All honor to Genera] Bragg and our brave ceuntryinen. The victory at Murfruesboro will be of infinite importance to our great cause. [roa tiii Laxcarrsa lbooir.] Fort Moultrie, I)oc. 30. 186'i. Dear I.i doer.?Christmas has come and gone, and being afraid that ycu would think that w o had gone too, I have determined to drop you * line just to contradict any such erroneous impression, if auch tharo bo ? Yea I aui atill hanging to tha liiob like that opoaauin that waa ao poetically deacribed aa hanging faat by the tail when all foar feet had been "abook looee." Whan last I took my grey goose quill to give in friendly correspondence with you, I wna quietly abiding my fate among the innumerable cni| aancaa at North Kdiato, and in that epistle promised to write again, that promise I linve been uual.l* to keep, for several reasons. "The spirit waa w illing tho' the Hash wm weak," aa you see by this. However, aisuaas are out of place between old acquaintances like us, and I will proceed to ^ give you and our friends at home soma account of ourselves without further apology. } hope you all are not seeing as hard timea in Lancaster aa we do down here, for aa on Kdislo wa were fed on potatoes, bare we enjoy the questionable luxury of rice and mustard. Oh! for the good old days of fpork and beana" to come once mora. ny /ears ago, and whcro Oeeola tho patriot arid warrior died,and Anderson the Yankee chieftain doHiT rated the walla of old Moultrie. Sacred lalund you bring to uiy mind that renowned epic ' On tho lirst of June the llrilish fleet, Arrived in Ohnrleatoo Hnrbur. 'l'ho twenty-eight they attacked the Fort, And wounded Voting the Barber." "Sir l'*ter I'arktr foolish man Thought himself in danger, Yet wo did'nt treat him hard, Hut only like a stranger." T1?U put me in mind of the Ynnkee fleet, who, you may tell my friends, may be seen at any time of ll>o day, about eix miles off from us, sometimes as many as fifteen, laying out at the Ilur like a parcel of hawks watching lor chickena. If uiy visit North is uot near by I will give you uuothor letter shortly, or couie home myself about next month, if I can get n furlough, tho' they nr? mighty hard to get. My friend D. W. is down here with me. I am sorry to say the mustard and rice has taken the hair off his hssd, but thst dnnt prevent him from annoying me witli his snoring at night, fie is however iu good order and ready for tho fight. We cat so many sausages the other morning that the dogs barked at us, and I am told that it is dangerous to walk through the market in Charleston and whiatlo. Wishing yon a happy New Year. Your friend, "BONES." WAR NEWS. __? V From the West. Murfreksboro, December 3U.?It rainod all last night, and is still raining occasionally. Artillery firing began nt 9 o'clock this morning, and luatcd till It o'clock, when our entire left between the Nashville and SSalcui (toad appeared. Heavy and norauvfi, ma upvraiuB ui iuuf nunurcti prisoners taken, with fiys stands of colora Tha enemy ware drivau to their boats, and eeot a flag of truce for permission to bury their dead, under which some of the pris oners escapedFighting has continued all day, with no important results. The Aghling of our troops ie splendid. The 28tb I<ouisiina regiment again immortalised itself, fighting gallantly during the battle. Oar casualties yesterday were small. Thin morning fir. ing ia heard in the same direction, and it ia supposed the enemy have again advanced fo storm our wprka. Oar eoldiera are eager to meet the enemy, determined to conquer qr die. Prisoners state that the Yankee forces are commanded by General Morgan. Kevere fighting ia nr w going on, particulars of which will be sent as soon as it ia ovar. The enemy destroyed the Vicksbnrg, rapid musketry tiring then commenced, and atill continued up to II m. The big guns were alio heard. Wo have n* yet nothing from the battle field, which ia only ten utiles dielant. Tim citizen* arc all confident. No excitement is perceptible. Nothing further from Morgan, though it ia curtain he haa deatroyed railroad communication between Nashville and Louisville ; alao routed the enemy at Russeilvillo. Later.?The day haa passed without a general engagement. Since y o'clock, however, a briak artillery duel haa been fought, occaaionally interrupted with aharp shooting. The tiring graduuiiy eloaed about live o'clock on both aidea. The casualties a mount to moat noting. It wua evidently the deaire of the enemy for us to attack him, but failing in thin deaire, and having placed hia force in position, the battle will open at daylight in the morning. The artillery and aharpahootera alone were en gaged to day. With llio exception of about one hour, acarcely any am&tl arms were uaed. Northern Newt. Richmond, December 31.?liredey'a poailion ia defined at last. The Tribune, of Friday, concludca a long article on the disasters of the Federals, and the defeat at Fredericksburg, as follows: "We are not about to surrender in the face of a single defeat, to fuels which have survived a mo rice of disasters. The purpose of the nation will remain unshaken. War is still to be pressed?the winter campaign is to be pursued?the North will still uphold the movement and strengthen its hands. The spasm of despair has already relaxed its hold on the national heart, and the moment of doubt may cheer the rebellion, but returning resolution shall finally crush it." New England is beginning to howl.? Wendell Phillips, in a late epeech at Boston, said that eighteen mouths hence the West will desert the East and join her natural ally, who holds the mouth of the Mississippi. Phillips intimates if the Democracy succeeds, there is danger of an alliance auiong twenty States, leaving Now England out in the cold. Commenting on the speech of Phillips, the Naw York Mercury says : "We believe that the laal army that tha North will ever raise and put in the field in this war, is now id iu? biiu, ana main muat conquer the rebellion or tail. If it faila, than a Uisolution of the old Unioo will be an au fail aceompJi; and in that event, nix Statea of New hngland will find theuiaelvea left a lone in their glory, and we are quite a* aure that no confederation of Statea, of which ahe ia a part, can ever exist in peace, harmony and proaperity on thia continent." From Vicfctburg, Mist. VicK*bvkg, December 30?(>n Saturday laat lha enemy made foer deaperale nltempts to force oar linea on the Chickaaaw Iiayou, a distance of about ten tnilea from lliis city, but were repulsed with heavy leta each time.

On Monday afternoon eight thousand of the enemy adrancei on our right, in the vicinity of Chickasaw Bayou, to atorni the worka, bat were mowed down in large i j i- -* ? ??J Shrcveport and Texan Rail Rouil as fur an Delhi, a distance of thirty-eight miles. The bridges over the Toxa* and Macon Bayou (1-a.) Rail Road are said to have been burned. The town of Delhi is reported totally destroyed. The Enemy Again beaten back at Vicktburg. VicKsw;iro, December 31.?A courier has |ust arrived, who states that ilte enemy attempted to storm oar bars etfrin thin morning, Wt, after a severe content, were repulsed with terrible loaa. Mo farther particulars at present The lana of the enemy in said to be about 300 killed and wnunded, and 400 prisoners. Our loss is about 60 killed and wounded. Another Battle. OliaKi.f.ston, Jan. 1, 1803,? A dispatch from General Bragg has just been received by Gen. Beauregard, dated Murfreesboro,' Dec. 31, which says : 14 Wo aiuiatloil * * * .. v, ~-i?. I.*- em.'my una morning ht 7 o'clock, and after ten houra hard fighting, have driven him from every poaition except hi* extreme left, which he haa aucceaafully reaiated. With the exception of tli.it point, we occupy the whole field. We have captured 4,000 prisoners, including two Brigadier-Generals, 31 pieces of nrlilleiy and aouie U00 wagons and teama Our loan is heavy, but that of the enemy is much grea'er." Tha Yankee Generals captured are Brigadiers Witiig and Fry. nccoxo uiai'ATCH. CliAKi.estox, Jan. 1.?in the fight at Murfrecsboro, we capturud moat of the enemy's hospital stores with many ntnbulanccs. Gen Raines, on our aide, ia killed ; Gen. Chalmers ia wounded ; Col. A. W. Fry, of Mississippi, is killed; Col. Fist, of l<ouisiana, is wounded. The Yankee Generals Thotnaa, Syll, Shardon nnd Grieson, are killed. Gen. Mc| Cook ia alarr reported killed. I Tha Yankee loss ia immense. It ia impossible to oblnin a list of the caaualtiea, I or more nar(M>ulara In ninl.t I -I We deatrojed two million* of dollars worth of Yankee property in the rear of the Yankee array, Invt night, including lire day * rations. Ten Yankee Officer* Executed. Richmond, Jan. 1.?The papers of this morning pnblinh a report that Gen. Hindman han executed ten Yankee officers in retaliation for the McNeel Butchery. This, if true, will teach the blood thirsty | and cowardly wretches invading our territory to respect the rules of civilized warfare. Qen. Stuart's Expedition. Richmond, Jan. 'i.?Gen. Stuart returned from his recent raid on New Years evs. On Ida rounds he visited Dumfries and proceeded up llio l'otomac towards Alexandria. At G. Selectman's Ford, on the Occoquan, he encountered a large fores of the enemy's Cavalry whom ho charged through the streuin. They fled in consternation, leaving the road atrewn with overcoats, cr.pt, blankets, arms, dec. He burnt the Railroad bridge over the Aeatank Creek, ten miles from Alexandria, and destroyed the Railroad at Aunoudaie, seven miles from Alexandria. lis dashed into tire enemy's camp, destroying his stores and capturing prisoners. Here he telegraphed Lincoln's Quartermas ter that he had not furnished sufficient transportation for the supplies he had taken. Between Fairfax Court llouao and Vienna he encountered a large force of the enemy, w|io planted artillery against him bat he retired. At Aldie he routed the eueiuy's Cavalry, taking a number of prisoners, and proceeded thence to Warrunton. On his return ho was accompanied by General Fill Lee, comm. nding * uavalry brigade. Gi-n. Stuart wan entirely successful and captured and destroyed immense stores, i wagons trains, camp equipage, Ate , besides I capturing about three hundred prisoners.? His troops have supplied themselves with clothing, stores, arms, Ate. No Exchanges. RicHMOSD, Jsn. I ?Titers has been no exchange of prisoners for two weeks. Jniige Ould rscseived notification to prepare for an exchange of 500, but the Fed| ernl Hag of truce boat haa not yet arrived. It is surmised that the Lincoln Government hae taken umbrage at the Retaliatory Proclamation of ('resident Davis and that new arrangements will have to be mads before there will be another Exchange. From Kentucky. Richmond, Jan. U.?General Morgan made a successful raid upon Elizabethtown, Ky , oq the 27th, and drove the troops from their stockade defence, capturing 600 prisoners, and so destroyed the Nashville At l?oui?villi; Railroad (the I It raid says,) as to suspend communication by that line for at least 90 days. Banks' Expedition. C'HARi-BaToa, Jan. 'J.?Northern papers received report that nine of the vessels forming Ranks' expedition have been wrecked. The steamer M. Sanford, with 800 troops, waa wrecked on Caryafool lleef, but the troops were aaved. The Niagara put into Philadelphia in a inking condition. ChiTTikkma, December 31.?Kighty? eight Abolition prieonere, captured near Murfreeaboro, were brought here laat night Nevenl)-three more, with eight ntgroea, have juet errieed on lhi< evening'* train ? The leat party were captured yeeterday by (Jen. Wheeler'e revelry, between Itctee rant'e ermy and Neahville. General Morgan ia returning from Kentucky, having accomplished his object, and is now in the rear of HoHeiicrsnr.. It is believed that lluford, Forrest anil Morgan have joined, making a force of fifteen thou-' aand eavulry in the rear of the Abolition army.

From early life he was an exemplary member of the Church. For 12 years he was a Ruling Kltler in Tuxah congregation and Clerk of the Sea-ion. lie was President of theTirxah Hibls Society from its foiinalion, and a life u.ember. Also life member of the A. II. Society. And in all (he tiwmwu-tiows of lih^hs acted under the dictates of noble, generous, consistent principles. His mind wua naturally strong and active: I and it was much unproved by extensive read- i iug and reflection, so that ha was distinguished i kit his general intelligence: and particularly for I hi.-> proficiency in lliblicrj love and ecclesiastical jurisprudence, in consequence of an ex- ( trcmcly modest, unobtrusive disposition, he ( often passed in society for less than his real f value. There are few, who possessed more in. , tollcclual and mom! worth. He was liberal, , punctual, generous ami conscientious in all the relations of life. Rarely do we record the death ' of .ui individual, in whom were combined more ' virtues and fewer defects. In politics, he was I a Democrat of the Jcffersoniati school; and alwttys felt a deep interest in th? affairs of State. Yet lie was never a violent partisan. In politics as in leligion he was liberal forbearing to- t ward those differing from hiiu. Having descen. | lied from Revolutionary ancestors, he at once < t<v?b au active part in the great Revolution of the present day. And he earnest desired and prayed tor the establishment of our second independence. His sgs snd feeble constitution forbid him to enter the tisld as a soldier, liwth his sous entered the army as_ volunteers: one tell at Uansssas; the other was severely woun. ded before Richmond, but is again in tho field, lie was a patriot, christian and genLleiiun.? .And in his death the church and the country have sustained a heavy loos. But to hiiu to live was Christ's ; but to die was gain. For all the ends he aimed at were bis Hod's, his coum try's and truth's. Estate Notioe. AI.L persons indebted to A. J.
