\)t Mtjfi. LANCA8TERVILLE.8. C.~~" weaneaduy morning. Jaly 8,1863. Mr. T. \V. l'egues, i'oeturuaier at Camden, has laid us under renewed obligations for recent* acceptable favor*. Mr. James R. liuuter wTIT accept our thank* for a paper, and for telegram*, in advance of tbc mall*. Our thank* are due to Capt. Jaine* D. Mcllwain for a basket of uncommonly large and delicious Figs. Some of them measure eight Inches in circumference?a vast improvement upon the ordinary growth of this excellent fruit. Wc are indebted to our obliging friend, Mr. Thos. K. Magill, tor a very intelligible drawing of the Fort and aiirmuiiilSnM I'.'?l?r.* - river, embracing the scene of the late deatructivc Yankee raid. "The Children'^ Guide." Tbia ia the title oi an excellent Monthly, de aigned for children, published by John W. Jlutke, Macon, Ga., the first uumber of which appeared on the that of July inalant. It is well .filled w ith choice original matter ; adapted to the understanding of children, but which may be read w ith interest and profit by adults.? Among ita contributors are Iter. T. O. Soarmora and Mrs. Jane T. II. Cross. Supetititen. dent a and Teachers o( Sabbath Schools would do well to encourage ita circulation among the children under their charge. Its term*are $1,00 for a single copy ; for lu copies, at lire rate of .*70 cents ; 20 copies, 60 cents ; 60 copies, 60 cents ; 100 copies, 40 cents. Troops for Local Defence. The 21st itegiment, S. C. M , assembled at thia place on yesterday, in accordance with orders previously issued, for lire purpose of mak> tug up ita quota under the receut call of President Davie for a portion of the Militia, to eerve ' in their respective Stales, for a period of six months from the let of August. The quota for (his Itegiment is 9b men. About 11 o'clock Che litre was fonited, under the direction of ? ol. Willioian/M.i. - ^ ? " 1 * " * ... ...nr^uvu, miu m smi iubuc ior \ oiuiileers, ,ia accordance with the orders from lh? Adjutant General. The call waa preceded by a eery spirited address from the Colonel who announced hia willingneaa to volunteer, though notlia* ble to draft. Fifty-six volunteer* stepped Ion ward in response to the call, but this not being sufficient, a draft waa afterwards executed from the whole number. The whale number between 40 and 60 years of age, was about 140, iuclui aire of those entitled to exemption. The or. gauixation is not complete as we put our paper to press. The names of^Gie officer* elect will be published next wcek.^^ Death of Maj. J. D. Haile. Since our last iasue, death has deprived our cummunity ol a very worthy citixen, in the person of Msjor J. D. UaiUfca member of the Bar at this place, who died on Fiiday last, from an attack of congestive fever. Major Unite waa prominent and well known in the District, and esteemed for his liberal spirit and accommodating and friendly intercourse with bis fellow citixena. lie filled the position of Sheriff of Lancaster lor one term, and has, at various times, occupied other public positions of honor and uaefulnei-a. He was a man ol indomitable energy and possessed busiueas qualifications ol no inferior order. He was admitted to practice I I. ion ? - - > i? >oui( muu enured ujk>ii uie labors ol the j profession with characteristic real and energy, I and with flattering proapecUof ultimately securing a lucrative practice. Ilia sudden death, to. gether with the wore affliction which it haa brought upon Ida Interesting family, haa cast a shadow over the spirits of our entire community. ThelfliU. The new contracts for carrying A* mails went into operation on the 1st instant. As stated some time ago. the Department haa seen fit to reduce, to scutne extent, our mail facilities. The line from Cemdcn to Laucaster, the most important line that reaches this point, and which has been a iri-weekly for twenty years or more, haa been reduced to twice a week. It arrives on Monday evening and Thursday eveinng.? The first trip, under the new regime, was made on Thursday last in a two-wheeled vehicle? literally a "one-horse" institution. Mr. 8?U? Ingram is the contractor. The route fro in Charlotte remains a Semiweekly, and the mai's are due here on Tucadey morning and Thursday morning. Tbs arrival* of '-he mails from the two points? Charlotte and Camden?at lha times stated, ia about the worst arrangement that could bare been made for tbia place. The Department baa not only shown an illiberal spirit sod a aboit-sighted policy in cutting down the mails, but has etbibited an indifference to tbe arrangement of tbe halted faculties allowed, to ybe grsolsst convenience of thoae for whose benefit ih< mailt aro deaigned. Wo understand that then will probably bo a change on the Charlott route, muking the uutil duo on Saturday even ing instead of Thursday. This will boa bette arra lament. The line U, IMueville N. C. is cut down fron a semi-weekly to a weekly. 1 leaves this poin on Monday morning and returns the neat day \ A change upou this toute?say iroin Moi.da; to Wednesday or Thursday?would no douh benefit the people upon the line ; paiticulaih subscribers to our paper, who would receive i several days earlier. A change, oil proper up plication being made, would doubtless be or dered. Mr. llasseltine has the conliact foi carrying this mail. The route to Chesterfield remains as it wa i ?a weekly?leaving this point on Thursday Mr. II. K. W Helk is the contractor. The route to Camden, via Liberty Hill, ie mains as before, leaving here on Wednesday morning. Mr. lienry Duncan is the contiactoi ujkjii this route. The slender lacilities atTurdcd us by llio Di' pa. tiueut lus brought about an effort, on the part of some of our citizens, to get up a daily mail, hy private enterprise, to connect wiui the Chailottc and South Carolina Iltilroao at Rock Hill. It is proposed, for this purpose, tu inaugurate a JoinL-St<wlr icIiHM-s at flit. Our friend, Mr. Moore, lias tlie credit of originating this capital scliom e.? The subscription paper is at the atoreof M^ssm UasseUiiic A llit^T, A number have already subscribed, aever&i taking ua much aa te n shares each. With one hundred shares it it proposed to begin operations. We see nothing to prevent the scheme from being successful; instead of grumbling at the Dcpai tinant for cur1 tailing our luail facilities, let us show our independence of it. The advantages of a daily mail will be immense ; and as it ia also proposed to convey psasengers, the advantage to accrue to the traveling community is likewise important. A bill has passed the North Carolina Degis lature, in extra session, requiring Sheriffs and Tax Collectors to receive all issues of Confede rate r.otea, in payment of Taxes, without dis crimination, both now, and after the 1st ol August. Ger.eral McQueen is nominated in the ('liar lesion Mrreury, for reelection to Congress, from the first Congressional District. Charleston Courier and Mercury.?The proprietors of these sterling journals announce that, from the 1st of July, the subscription prices will be st the rate of per annum for the daily and flu for the tri-weekly paper. Notice is given by Adj. (ten. Cooper, in a general order, that no more murt?rn?a?*ra' supplies will )>? received under tlie rppe.il made by the President and the plan of the Secietary of Waranncied thereto ; a* heretofore, supplies will be obtained by purchase and impressment. Contributed to the ledger, by M. C. S. I .one this evil cannot last, Quickly do the moments pass : Hope aaya soon our m uls will be With Jesus and Eternity. Who can make the gloomy fltnile * Or temptation's weapon spoil* What reward have those who toil. But Jesus and Eternity. Aa balsam to the festered wound. Or cooling showers to parched g.ound, So to faithful souls the sound Of Jesus and Eternity. Ouide to thoae whose feet may roam. Strength to thoae <vho feebly come; Heavenly lover, happy home, Jeaus and Eternity. Death leada to the happy shore Where the soul will sigh no more ; But will praise, love and adore, Jesus and Etornity. TELEGRAPHIC. From Virginia.
