The letter of our conespondent "Local," published on t?n* first page, gives an interesting reviu w of tlic services of tlic 12th South Carolina Regiment, with a report of the losses sustained, iic. The record ol this Regiment for usefulness and gallantry is such as reflects the highest credit 'upon each individual member composing it. The New Exemption Bill. The following is the Exemption Bill repotted ! by Mr. Miles Chairman of the Military Com j notice in llie House of Representatives. The Hill was strongly opposed by many members on the ground of its giving loo much power to the President. Finally, it was, on motion, . recommitted to the committee, with iustruci tiotis to Iraine a Hill, specifying the class of per. sons to be exempted. There is no doubt but . that Congress will materially reduce the num. i ber of Exemptions : "The Congress of the Confederate Slates of America do enact, That from and after tjie pas. sage of this act, all white male residents of the Confederate States, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, except those consti tuting the Executive, Legislative and Judicial authorities of the Confederate States, and of the several States composing the Confederacy, are, and shall be, liable to military duty in the serf ice of the Confederate States, and shall be duly enrolled itt the same, in accordance with existing laws, and ull laws and pattsoflaws, exempting any person between the said ages of eighteen and forty-five years, are hereby repealed ; Provided, That the Secretary of War shall, upon such terms and conditions as may | be preset ihed by him, and with the approval of the President, exempt from all military service, or detail for special purposes, such person or persons, as, with the approval of the President, lie may deem essential for the good of the ser' vice, or the general interest of the country ; Provided fill tlier, That the enrollment of per* t sons between forty and forty-five years of age, shall be suspended until the Pirsidcnt shall call such persons into the military service."

The New Voik correspondent ot the London Times pronounces the buttle of Frcderick.-burg as one ol the lieicesl and decidedly the most calamitous of the w ar to the Federal army. lie says the Federal troops lought ?ith the most deter- . mined courage, hut the position of General Lee was impugnable. The general deduction diuwn in Liverpool fiom the ivault was unfavorable for an rutty peace. The friends of the North in England ate greatly disapj ointed at the icsult of the battle.

The latter, sup* plied with a veteran and well appointed attny of hulf a million, the tinest irregular cavalry in the world, and a spirit of demoniac hatred to their opponents, are nasty nuts to ciack. I know this much, we could not conquer them, and I question if the Yankees cun do what we cannot. I have now seen both sides, and have formed what I consider to he u pretty correct . opinion." The Federals will find nut that the above .opinion is a correct one Eight millions of people lighting for their liberties have never jet been conquered, nor can they be. | Tiie New Yotk Herald, of iheSOih, has Caiio despatches announcing the capture of Aikanaua Tost, on the Aikansas river, one hundred miles from the ntoulh, by the land and naval forces under McClernand and Sherman, who, it is as* serted captured the garrison of 1,000 men, and an enormous quantity of arms, store*, Sic.

The fust day there was no quorum ol cither House. On Wednesday both Houses proceeded to business, a quotum being present, and a short Message fioni his Excellency, Gov. Ilonhatn was received and read. Not being able to publish the Meat auge entire, we will give an abstract of its most mateiial pot lions: The Governor recommends the passage of a law to regulate the production of eo'.ton. He says: ''Such a law ia needed to repress the aval ice ot those who hoard their grain, with the view of making larger gains by the production of cotton. It ia due to the State herself, and to the families of the men who arc now fighting the battles of the country, that every lawful means should be adopted to keep the breadstuffs at a low standard of values. Oh the subject of negro labor on the Coast, lie informs the Legislature that while the Seeretarv of War eordiallv atinrnvm tin. ...? , _rl w...... |..Vvisions of their Act upon this subject, lie doe* not feel nutlioii/.ed to assent to tliut provision which re<ptirt'? the Coitfodt rate Government to pay foi negroes lost or captured, on the ground tual Congress alone caii authoii/e it. lleucc the Act is ns yet inoperative; ami theiefoie he has not felt at liherty to arrest the operation, in the meantime, of the resolutions of the Council for supplying such labor as can be procuied under then.. lie lurthcr adds that this subject calls imperatively for ilrompt action on the part of the Legislature. Nothing should be left utr done to complete the defenees ut the earliest practicable day. He recommends that the State appoint an ' agent at Richmond to assist the sick and wounded soldiers from this Slate in obtaining their discharges, furloughs, pay and passports. lie refers to ccitaiu embarrassments in the way of executing the directions of the Legislature in respect to the election of Field Ollicets for | the First Corps of Reserves, ami says it was ! manifest lliat they could not be executed until ! the present meeting of that body. lie thinks I that are have no power to order un election for the field officers of regiments trannfered to the Confederate service. Even where wlections among such troops did take place, under tho j laws ol the respective Slatlis, as was the case ! atone time, they were ordered by the Confederate orticers, and not by the State authorities. And he perceives no difference between the regiments of Reserves ulready turned over to the Confederate service for three months, and ! those for the war, so far as any right exists on 1 the part of the Stale to control their subsequent elections. The (J over nor rccomniauds that the Act ordering these elections be repealed. He counsels haiiiiony and concert of action, and says there is every reason to apprehend an invasion of our coast by tlie enemy. Resolutions were offered in both Houses, and agreed to, to the ?fleet that be referred tc tlie committee on Confederate Relations to inquire and report whether any legislation is necessary in consequence of the Emancipation ptoclamalion of Abraham Lincoln, l'residenl of tlie United Elates, and of tlie course to be pursued by Jefferson Davis, l'residenl of tlie Confederate Slates, relative to such ollicers of the army of the United Stales as may become the prisoners of the Confederate Slates. Mr. II, F. Perry offered tlie following resolution, which was agreed to : littohij. That it be refeared to the Commit' tee on Roads, liridge* and Ferries to inquire and report as to the propriety of calling out all males between the ages of fifteen and sixty, and all female slaves who are field hands lie- i tween those ages, to woik on the public roads. A hill in the Senate to vacate the commissions of militia officers, iccuived the second reading, w as agreed to. and was ordered to he sent u> the Home of Representatives. Senate Kent to the House for concurrence a ievolution to ailjoum on Friday, the 3otli in. slant which whs agreed to, and returned to the Senate. Anotiikr "Pirath" Out.?The Savannah lieyubluan iiaa good authority for stating that die Confederate war steaiuer Floruit, Captain Maffit, has passed safely out of the harlior of Mo- | bile, and is now riding tiie liigh seas in search of Yankee robbers. This news will shock the nerves of the Liiicoluites, hut they will lie worse shocked when the returns from Muffil begin to co ne in. Advices from Norfolk, dated 18th inst., report that a serious row occurred on the 11 lit instant among the soldiers and negroes at the fortifications below the city. It was finally quelled by two regiments from the city. A Northern repot t says that Longslrect lias arrived at Shelbyville with thirteen brigades from Lee's army, and rfill attack Roeenerans neat week with the entire force, numbering 45,000 men. Roseucranz has sent the Confederate officers Captured at Vf ui freesboro to Alton, III., there to be closely confined, in consequence of the recent proclamation of President Davis denying paroles to federal officers. To Farucrs.?The Athens H'aJthmait gives the following seasonable advice to lartucrs. We hope every man, womad and child in the Southern Confederacy who Iim a single acre of tillable laud unoccupied by small grain will plant it in pea*, coin, potatoes, or something else suitable for man or beast. To do this it is important it should be put in order early. Do then, go to work at once. Let the land be well prepared. If you have, or can get manure, be sure to apply it. Plow deep and plow olten If your ditches are filled up, clean UU'lll Ull?, ailU < >? }?? ?-? ' getting ready for (lie greatest corn crop ever grown in these land*.

Hut little of iotcrest has transpired within the limit** of our Camp since iny last. We nrs still entcsinped upon the con fines of old Georgetown, and on the banks of Winyah Bay, so memorable in the days of our old Revolution and made classic as the haunts of the noble Marion, and his dashing men. Hut I am happy to state Hint some of the spirit that actuated Marion and hi* men, still linger iu the bosoms of their descendants, who are now encamped in the swamps around George j town. Thin "ih (i gloomy d ly in camp, tlie ruin is pouring down in torrent* and every soldier in camp lias retired to liis tent and wrapped himself in Ills blanket, except the lorn sentinel upon his post, who shivering pace* the limits of his line, whilst the rnin dashes in his face with the iinpc*uosity of u small Niagara, chilling him to the very liemt,still | on he goes. This 'is duty, this is patriot ism, in its purest state. 1 visited our ilstleries on rlie Winy ah J Hay, 5 miles from this place, ths other day, they appear to he very formidable, having j some heavy pieces of artillery mounted on ! strong works, and they nre well situated to resist any attack that may bo maku upon ! them by lite "Yanks." Thev are in eoiufortublo quarters ami in line spirits. Our Cavalry also appear to be in line condition | and epirits-they arc well armed and mounted and ready lor anything that may turn up, and should the "Yanks"ever attack George town you will hear good news both troin the IhiUeries, Cavalry and liloody Eighth. The steamer which run tho Blockade at this place since we came here, loaded w ith cotton, I sec lis* reached Nassau in safety. So the Blockade which "Abe" lias placed at Georgetown is not very efficient. A lire occurred in this place on ths night of the 4th, destroying live bouses, two I dwelling* and three* kitchen*, one id which wim the Methodist par?onnge, and the other the property of a Mr. Ward, neither was inhabited, and is thought to he the work of an incendiary. A negro wui hung in Georgetown on the 6th, for un attempt to gel to the "Yank*," and for trying to induce other* to go with him. A pleasing incident occurred here the other day, the Colonel had given *oine one a piece of Tobacco end the "weed" being very scarce in ('amp, some 2 or 3 called upon hitu to know how lie sold Tobacco, lie smiled and said he had none fur sale, hut perhaps if they would called on the Adjulant he might supply them. The la*t I taw ot them they were unking tlieiy way to the Adjutant'* quarters, in h'gli glee, anticipating a fresh "quid" of the old Virginia "leaf." Hut whether tliey e' er received the desired 'Weed" or not I cannot say. Our Regiment is in Hue condition, hut little sicklies* prevailing ar.d but few death* only *ix hating died since we came into service, one from ('apt Casson's company, four from Capt. Mclvnight's, and one from (.apt. Iluile's. We have five sick in our company, M N'e.il. A Mns*ey, J. Hallurd, A. A. (Jolluy, an<i M. A. Fields, but none dangerous ?

That until the age of twenty five 1 re-vaccination is u*rle*a. 2 That from ' that age to thirty five it produces useful effect* upon a very small number of persons, ! and that consequently it need not be very ; strenuously recommended at that period of life. 3. That from the age of thirty five and upwards it become* realty prophylac. tic, and therefore necessary. 4 That w hen vaccination has not taken effect at a certain period, this is no reason for concluding that it will out tnke eifect at seme future period.
