L warm. Our carap is in a dense grove, which
gives it the coolness and the shade of twi
1* light. Upon its very margin are cool
springs?cool almost as ice?that sparkle
as they run. Beef and mutton are abundant,
and as fine as any in the woild, and
there is uothing wanting now but the assurance
of a fair fight with our enemy. They
have been seeking for months to make the
first and second regiments as nearly comfortable
as men ever get to be."
Return of the Seventh Regiment
to New York.?The New York Herald,
in its account of the return of the Seventh
[ Regiment from the seat of war, gives a
glimpse of the under currents of opiniou in
Gotham. It says:
There was a spirit of discontent apparant
in almost every direction, especially amowj
the Irish element of the population, who
seem to think it very hard that so many of
their friends should be left to fight the battles
of the country, while an exception has
been made in favor of the Seventh. These
opinions were very freely exchanged all
day; and as the time for the arrival of the
regiment drew nearer, thepartizans became
more numerous, and some rather active debates
ensued, which, of course, are not
worth a passing record. Some threats at
hissing and stoning the men were made,
and persons even said that largo purchases
of eggs had been made for the purpose of
assault. The volunteers, much to their discredit,
had provided themselves with pota
toes, apples, bits of wood and other missiles,
with the expressed intention of pelting the
men of the Seventh?a threat they might
have carried out but for the promptitude
of Captain Green, who is always on duty at
the Park Barracks, and other officers, who
gave instructions to the guard to fire at the
first man caoght throwing a missile. This
decisive conduct caused the men to back
down; but nothing could prevent them
from hissing and groaning at the Seveuth,j
and calling out in vile language to some oi
the soldiers who passed nearest their quar I
ters. R-?wdies hissed the regiment in Fulton
street.
v \ Lieutenant '-Drummed Out."?A
conrt martial was assembled at Fort Warreu.
near Boston, on Monday. tor toe purpose o?
trying Lieut. John Abbot, of company A,
Fletcher Webster's regiment, accused of
using seditious language. Brigadier Gen-1
eral Pierce presided, and Adjutant General
Schouder acted as judge advocate. It ap
peared in evidence that Abbott bad made
use of such expressions as these : "I would
like to see a secession flag wave over all
the New England States. I would like to
} seethe Massachusetts troops get a whipping
from the Southerners; it is just what they
deserve. The Southerners are right." "If
I thought the war was to set the slaves free,
I would sheath my sword."
Abbot denied all the charges, but the
court adjudged him guilty, and he was sentenced
to be stripped of his uniform and
drummed out of the garrison. Preparations
were at once made to inflict the punishment
so offen done in military camps. He was
stripped of his uniform and made to don the
citizen's dress. In the meantime, the two
regiments, (Col. Clark's and Col. Webster's)
stationed at the fort, were made to
form three sides of a square?the brigade
( officers occupying positions on the side of
the sallyport. All being in readiness, Lieui
tenant Abbot was led forth with a guard on
L either side, and to the tune of the "Rogue's
March" he was escorted up and down the
K line of the brigade. Going once up the
centre and back, his march was continued
out of the sallyport, along the street on the
outside and down the wharf. There a tug
boat was waiting, and to it the disgraced
officer was consigned, and conveyed to Boston.
Army Hospital Practice.?In his
work on military surgery, just published,
Dr. Gross says: "The number of sick that
may be expected to be constantly on hand
daring any given campaign is estimated, on
an average, at ten per cent.; but this proportion
must necessarily be exceeded, especially
in at; invading army, with raw, undisciplined,
and unacclimated troops. This
was eminently true even in the Crimea, in
a climate comparatively healthy, within a
few mile of the sea. We may well imagine
what would be the effects of the climate of
the South upoD the Northern troops, if
they were to pass far, during the hot season,
beyond Mason and Dixon's line. Disease,
in its worst form, would be sure to invaue
and thin their ranks at every step ?
Fever?tvphoid, typhus, reiuitr^nt, inter
mittent, and yellow?dysentery, diarrhoea,
scurvy, pneumonia, and inflammation "f the
liver would accomplish more, infinitely
more, for the Southern cause thao all the
~~ rvT k o * ?amU Kn nlnoofl In f hi
wcapuua ui nai iuai cuuiu mv .u ?..v
hands of the Southero people. Typhoid,
typhus aod yellow fever, dyssentary, diarrhoea
and scurvy would, in all human probability,
soon become epidemic, and occasion
a mortality truly appaling. The Southern
soldier, on the contrary, thoroughly acclimated,
as he is, would suffer comparatively
little."
Beggarly Account of Empty Boxes.
?We have before us the New York Express
of Friday last, containing the customary
report of arrivals at the different ho
tals in the city the previous day. These
daily registers, showing the influx of visitors
in this once great commercial emporium,
afford a very correct basis upon which to estimate
its prosperity. At this season of the
year it has heretofore been crowded witb
Southerners, one of whom, to a Northern
hotel, is worth a dozen Yankees, for he will
spend a dozen dollars to the latter's one.?
Well, in the list before us, we count up
some fifty arrivals at the St. Nicholas on
Thursday?not a single Southerner amongst
them. At the Astor House forty-two, and
but one Southerner. At the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, thirty-six, no Southerner. At
French's forty four, no Southerner. At
Powers', fifty, only two Southerners, a most
remarkable contrast to the registers for the
b . ?
corresponding day last year.
The above-named hotels have hitherto
been the mcst crowded in the city, ana the
heavy falling off which they exhibit tell?
how magnificently things are progressing
there. But what it has already suffered
from Black Republican insanity is a mere
twite*1, computed with the racking spasms
which arc t^'oi'o.T.?Petersburg L\ij>re<s.
Plans of the Enemy.?It is stated
that General Scott intends to make a vig.
orous ODward movement as soon as his plan:
are completed, with a view to occupy Rich
mond before the 4th of July. Thirty fiv<
thousand men will be pushed on into th<
interior of Virginia towards the Blue Ridge
20,000, under Geu. Patterson, will iuvadi
Virginia from Eastern Pennsylvania; 20,-1!
000, nnder Gen. McClellaud, from Ohio, jt
will cut their way to Winchester and Stras- ,
burg, by the turnpike road, from Grafton, !i
avoiding the line of the Baltimore and Ohio!
railroad, and 15,000 men, under General!
Butler, aided by a naval force, will make i
their way up James Uiver. A strong force L
will be collected in Western Virginia, in!
addition to Col. Sherman's corps d'armecA
for the protection of the Unionists there. |{
The Expense.?Theexpence of the war!
is beginning to be felt. Already the cost; (
has reached the handsome aggregate of two j
millions dollars per dap, ard is still tend- t
ing upward rapidly. On the last pay day at i
the Brooklyn navy yard there was not a .
dollar in hand to meet the disbursements i
The New York Tribune says : <
"To successfully wage war, money is a j
Drime necessity. Mr. Chase has been a- ,
bundaotly cheered by the liberality with ,
which the people of the country have re- j
spoaded to his call, but, like a prudent man, he
has begun to count the cost of that <
which the Government has undertaken. j
"The expenses of the War Department r
are enormous, and with a view to re-estab- r
lish the army on a more economical basis, j
and of pruning extravagances, the advice t
of eminent military men, now here by iovita- (
tion, is being considerd." f
Election for Members of Congress, j

Inconsistency ?Some of the Counties!1
of Western Virginia, while denying the i
right of a State to secede from the general I
i government, yet claim the right of seces-j
sion from their own State.
Kentucky, denying the right of seces-j
ision fiorn the old government, is yet guilty'
I of the glaring inconsistency of seceding from i
| bcth sides.
j It is not a litttle singular, that those
States which have acted with most decision
and promptitude are now the most quiet
and unmolested; as for instance, compare
the condition of South Corolina with Mary
land and Missouri. The two latter States
are a fair sample of what all the Southern
States might and would have been, had
they adopted a vacilating co-operation policy?threatening
to secede and yet doing
nothing.

Richmond, June 11.?On Saturday, 1
i scouting party of Confederates, near c
Hampton, encountered scouting parties 1
)f Federals, numbering about two hun- f
li ed. The Federals mistaking the Con-1

laid they belonged to the Second York
Regiment. The Confederates fired on
:hem, killing ten, wounding twelve or s
ifteen and taking one prisoner. The 1
Confederates were uninjured, although
he Federals returned fire. Both sides s
withdrew. On Monday, the Federals, 1
tbout four thousand strong, attacked s
lie entrenched Confederates, nuraberng
about one thousand, at Bethel I
Church. The Confederates repulsed ?
lie Federals three times. The Fede- c
als then withdrew, and the Confede- c
iites held their nosition until this morn- (
ng, when they withdrew. The Fede- I

?The Asburn (Ohio) Sentinel of last f
week gives the subjoined item. Orrin ?
Brown is a son of old John Brown, who 11
swung in December, 1859, at Charlestown,
Virginia, to the uncontrollable
?rief of Horace Greeley and Henry J.
Raymond, two well known New-York Ul
rabid Black Republicans: T
"On Monday, in Trumbull, Orrin lc
Brown had his left hand torn off by the
premature discharge of a cannon which
was being discharged in honor of the p,
volunteers. The hand was so badly torn tc
that it was found necessary to amputate ?(
it just below the elbow."
When it is recollected that this Or- ,|
rin Brown has for some time past been ,,|
busily engaged in recruiting a regiment
of negroes, which were to be tendered tt
to old Scott in subjugating the South, m
the above accident will be looked upon
as an act of Divine Providence.

"THE "PORTFOLIO."?AT THIS

North; when wc have plucked our stars from thenatcJl

atronnge, hitherto so liberally bestowed upon those who
avc proven themselves our worst enemies, and extend a

BAM OF THE STATE OF S. C.
CHARLESTON, 12th Februap', 1861.
THE Legislature having, at its late
session, authorized the Issue of Bonds to the amount
hi .$675,000, bearing an interest of skve.n per cent., for the
purpose of providing the funds required to sustain the State
hi the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is
now prepared to di-.posc of the Bonds. Tncy arc issued in
sums of #50, .$100 and $500. An opportunity Is thus afforH-.H
nvprv rItizen to make a secure and Drofitablc Invest
uicnt, while contributing aid to the cause in which the
State la engaged. With the view ot" enabling citizens in
any part orthe State to share in the Loan, the Clerks of the
Courts of the several districts have been required to open
books of subscription for the Stock. Suitable arrangements
will be made for furnishing the Bonds on the receipt of the
nnney, at an early day after each subscription has been
made. Engagements lor the purchase of Bonds may be
made at the Bank, or any of its Branches. It Is probable
that, at the next session of the Legislature, those parties
who desire it may have their Bonds converted Into Stock.
