J The absence of anything worthy of note, prevented us from inflicting a letter on the readers of the Enquirer last week. Everything yet remains in statu quo, with Doth. ? 5 ? r ing to vary toe ami monotony ui camp mo, except the duties incident thereto. At present, there is considerable sickness among the troops, but most of the cases being measles, and the weather favorable, the disease readily yields to treatment. We will jnst mention here, that onr company physician, Dr. Hugh G. Jackson, is winning golden opinions on every side. We venture the assertion that a kinder or more attentive physican is not in the service.? Dr. 'Tnrnipseed, who was in the Crimean ??' koo hepn nnnnintfid Surgeon of our -rr o regiment. He is represented as entirely efficient and exactly the man for the place. He is now at his post of duty. Dr. Johnson, of PiekeDS, the assistant Surgeon has yet a name to make. We understand that at home, he is very popular as a physician. Colonel Danovant, who has teen absent at home for several days, returned to camp on Friday eteDing last, and is fast getting the regiment up to the requisite standard. Guns have not as yet been furnished to the troops, bnt it is expcoted that they will be forthcoming in a few day9. We learn, that it is probable rifled muskets will be provided. They are now being rifled by some concern in Columbia. The following is the routine of duties in camp: Revielle at 5 a. m.; drill from 5} to 6 J; breakfast at 7 ; Surgeon's call at 7i; guard-mounting at 8; Officers drill from 8 to 9; drill from 10 to 11; Orderly call at 11; dinner at 1 o'clock, p. m.; drill from 2 to 8; drill from 4 J to 5 J ; dress parade at 6; supper at 7; tattoo at 9; taps at 9 J. By an order read out at dress parade yesterday evening, we learn that Colonel Dunovant's Regiment is designated as the 12th; Colonel Edwards', as the 13th; Colonel Jones', as the 14th; and Col.DeSaussure's, as the 15th. Col. Jones' regiment is situated at Aiken?the other three are here. A company of cavalry arrived here from | Chester, on Tuesday evening last. The Company is under the command of Captain William A. Walker, and numbers about 80 men and horses. It is a very fine corps. On Friday, an artillery company arrived from Union. They are without guns yet. Lieut. Habb, of Fairfield, has been detached Regimental Commissary, and Lieut. Thomas J. Bell, of our town, as Quartermaster. Lieut Bell has entered upon the discharge of his duties, and proves a very efficient officer. From his business qualifications, we do not think a better appointment could have been made. As yet, 110 intimation has been received, that the regiment will be immediately removed from this place. There are constantly a number of rumors in camp, but as a general thing, they have their origin in the brain of some one gifted with a fertile imagination. The "Palmer Guards" are under many obligations for favors received, and we have been commissioned to return thanks to all concerned, which are hereby tendered.?

ViUUiuvtviiKiug wM..r life, was suddenly dispelled some week since, by the order to march in twenty minutes. Soon all was bustle and pre paration, and such Inquiries as these seemed to be shadowed from the countenance of all?where In the world are we going ? Has the long expected moment arrived, when as victors, we shall enter the city of Washington? These and such like questions, could not, of course, be answered, for no one knew, and the only consolation left was, that we would know on arriving at our point of destination.? Determination and courage seemed mirrored on each man ly brow, and all seemed ready to meet the Impending crisis, whatever it might be. By nine o'clock, P. M., we were ' -on the march to?we knew not where. The expedition was commanded by our gallant Colonel Jenkins, and consisted of our Regiment of Infantry, 5th S. C., three pieces of the famous Washington Artillery, and two companies of Virginia Cavalry. The object scenis to have been to rout a party of Hessians on the Maryland side of the Potomac, at Great Falls, about twenty miles from our camp. It was attended with much hazard, required extreme secrecy and caution, and the utmost dispatch. We arrived at the point designated, about 7 o'clock, A. M.,and the Artillery having been promptly placed in position, opened a well directed fire, which told with deadly effect. I was some distance below on the River assisting in guarding a Ferry, and at the second discharge, could distinctly hear the piteous groans and waitings of these deluded wretches, evidently showing that "somebody was hurt." Th'.sc compliments from our rifled cannon soon proving too warm for tlieir taste, they were seen scampering away "in good order" of course.? They were completely routed, and it has since been ascertained that about fifty were killed. All the purposes of the expedition having been thus successfully accomplished, we commenced our return to camp. I am told the firing could be distinctly heard in Washington, and that the most intense excitement prevailed in this modern bable. Doubtless the "Baboon" thought the hour of retribution had at length arrived. I suspect his Jacksonian principles began to desert him, and it may be his excited Imagination had already pictured tho fearful, phrophetic handwriting on die wail?"thou an weighed in the balance and found wantj ing." The detachment of the Washington under LieutSquires, which had already won fadeless laurels In the affairs of the 18th and 21st July, did not, I am sure, tarnish them in this engagement. The conduct of our troops cannot be too highly commended. Though not actually engaged with the enemy, the patience and submission with which they endured the fatigue of this truly extraordinary march is worthy of all praise. On our return to camp we | had accomplished a march of forty miles in twenty hours, without sleep or rest, and yet not a murmur or complaint was heard. Although, but the volunteers of yesterday, they have the spirits of veterans, and we have no fear that such men, led by our gallant and beloved Colonel, will not march ever to victory and honor. Our camp has been comparatively quiet since, until a few moments ago, when we again received marching orders, to what point and for what purpose we knew not. The purposes and plans of our Generals are of course matters of conjecture. We give ourselves very little uneasiness, however, oij this seorc, for having the utmost confidence in their v and judgement, arc eager and anxious to follow where they lead. We must believe, however, that a fierce and bloody contest is at hand, and when It does come, I have no fear but that we will knock the splendid affair at Fort Hatteras into a "cocked hut." i ne ueaiui ?i <>ur uuu)is ir. layiuij ...... ? ranks fast filling up. We have suffered very much from tneasels, but are about through. Your correspondent was himself a victim, but was so well cared for by the ladies of a neighboring village, as to believe that a second "crop" would not be a very great misfortune. I am glad of the op portunity to record my high appreciation of the noble and patriotic conduct of the ladies of Virginia. They seem to be absorbed entirely in administering to the necessities of our sick soldiery, and to vie with each other in acts of kindness and charity. 1 know that many a grateful heart will hold them in lasting remembrance. I had the pleasure sometime since, in company of a few friends, of paying a visit to Munson's Hill, a point about ten miles in our advance. This is a height of considerable Importance, and but a short time previously had been taken possession of by our troops- It is about equi-distant from Alexandria and Washington?being five miles from each, q mncf /h-lirrhtfnl vIPU.* nf tllP fUirrOlindillff .UUI .. ? .p....... ? ? country. I was highly delighted with the scene, and was amply rewarded for the fatigue of the trip. As I stood gazing upon the picture, the past and present came up before my mind In strange contrast. Could 1 have stood twenty years ago, me thought, on this same spot, and looked out over the same scene, the emotions of my heart would have been only those of patriotic joy and pride, glorying in the birthright of an American citizen. The capito! of once the greatest nation of the earth was spread out to view. In close proximity was the birth-place of the Father of his Country?the spot over which the Patriotic Pilgrim delights to roatn; and the affections of his heart love to linger. Flow changed the circumstances now front then, and how changed too, and varied the emotions they produce. What means this military pomp and preparation ? Has a foreign foe invaded our soil ? No?these are titose, whose fathers stood shonlder to shoulder in our revolutionary struggle, and whose united efforts contributed to the rearing of the majestic dome, which raised its lofty spire front the neighboring hill. Great God! and can it be, that this spot, hallowed by so many glorious and sacred associations shall be made to flow with the blood of brothers ? Alas! the inhumanity, the rapacity and treachery of man. The frowning battlements on the height bevond. and the busv. bustling nren aration of u vandal horde, re-echo back the answerYea ! We turned from the contemplation of the scene regretting, it is ;me, the dire necessity which was upon us, hut with confidence in no wise impaired, but rather strengthened in the righteousness and final success of our cause. 1 am glad to hear that "Old York" has sent three other Companies in support of our glorious Southern cause. I notice a publication in one of your recent issues, which, while complimenting one of these Companies very highly, detracts somewhat from the corps to which I belong, it is from a highly respectable and respected source, and I am sure ihat the allusions were not intended. The writer seems to think that those who volunteer now arc actuated by sterner and purer motives of patriotism, than those who first rcsponjed to the call of their country. In speaking of those who first volunteered, he says, "The imaginations of many, no doubt, invested the camp with a romance, with a sort of gala day attire, that made it attractive to many enthusiastic, youthful hearts." Now we would ask, if, when the first Company left Yorkville, tiie bombardment of Fort Sumter had not been commenced ? Was it not tin* settled opinion that the storming of that frowning Fortress would cost the life of many brave and gallant spirits? On our departure, did not tears from the eyes of mothers and sisters flow fast and freely for a darling boy, or devoted brother, believing that they were rushing into the jaws of death ? When our services were no longer needed on Sullivan's Island, where we had some foretaste of camp life, did we not volunteer with a unanimity rarely equalled ?? Did they expect a "gala day show" in Virginia, when the vandal horde of the North had already desecrated her soil Willi their unhallowed feet? I, for one, rather anticipated rather a serious entertainment. We have already heard the music of the cannon's thunder, and learned something of the hardships of a soldier's life. Yet our spirits are as buoyant and unsubdued as ever. I might adduce motives 01 a i:?r ainerew cnanicier, wmv.ii im^m ijv.-viui, actuated them who volunteered last. Rut I forbear, t am ready and willinc; to believe that the purest and most patriotic motive have actuated them, and would not detract one ioto of the praise due them, but have a decided objection to its being lavished at our expense.

Editors:?The unusual display at Old Point, two weeks ago, whioh created some apprehension here, resulted as you hotrn Vioorrl in a Vorol HTnPliih'nn tn (hp " **? ?f ? coast of North Carolina, and the capture of ' Fort Hatteras. In view of the capture being of not much importance, it was : thought at first, to be a ruse of General Wool's, but whatever might have been his strategic designs on Norfolk or the Navy 1 Yardj nothing as yet has transpired, to re- 1 veal. The Northern Journals, are much elated with the success of the expedition, and 1 affect to be pleased in viewing it only as f precursory to a score of future, like ex- 1 ploits, yielding them ten fold more in value. They even make considerable pretensions 1 at claiming the "Old North State" as an 1 ally. What visionary beings! So far from their dwelling in the bosoms ( of North Carolinians, anything like disloy- 1 alty to the cause of all the South, their 1 patriotism, by the invasion of their soil, is 1 aroused anew from its profoundest depths, J and sqaads of rustics, not unlike those that jJ proceeded to the battle of King's Moun- ' tain, in the western part of the State, can ' now be seen with their rifles and powder ' horns, making their way to the eastern shore. A week ago the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth, were a little frightened, in consequence of there being discovered, two or three objects near Old Point, like float- 1 ing iron batteries, and this coupled with , the news from Washington, that the Lincoln Cabinet had the subject of the burning of j the above named cities before it, added to . their fright. But as no unusual sights have j visited us, the excitement, I believe, has vanished, and calmness again is ruling in its wonted stead. ^ News from the Potomac would seem to J indicate an early engagement, indeed it is ! impossible to see how a desperate conflict 1 can be much longer delayed. All eyes here * are turned in that direction, and are daily ' in nrn^nt.nfinn of hoarim* that the battle ?r ? " . f has really commenced. So far, do fighting . is reported, more than that necessary to r drive back the Federal pickets, until the advanced portion of Gen. Beauregard's J army ba3 taken and occupied one or two important eminences, overlooking Washing- ? ton. I see by the Enquirer, that the ladies 1 of York District, ever true to their natural ( instincts of patriotism, have turned their attention to the temporal as well as spiritual welfare of the soldier. This is a noble ' calling?one worthy their attention. May ^ their associations prosper and be the means t of relieviogthe sadness of many a soldier's ! heart. So says one. A PRIVATE. r For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. ? i Thick clouds of political gloom and dark- t ness have gathered, and are now hovering ^ over our beloved country, which, but a few c months ago, was found basking in the bright ] sunshine of peace, prosperity and happiness. Our people have been called upon to pass through a momeotcus crisis in public affairs, J as terrible in reality as it is disastrous in its r nffnnhs . rnirt nor rrallonr hnnrjs ftf Sntlthfim r C11COKO , C.UVA V/?. _ . patriots have been compelled to draw the g sword, for a long time sheathed in its scab- t bard, and strike the blow in behalf of Con- g stitutional liberty and political indepen- r dence. Verily, we may say, "the times that t try men's souls" have been ushered upon c us, and the scenes, enacted in the days of r '76, are to be repeated upon the same sa- ? cred soil. And in this period of "war and t rumors of war," when the booming cannon E is almost heard in the dim distance; wben c ' c the busy notes of preparation for the con- t flict attracts our notice in all parts of the t land; when our couDtry is invaded by a ( ruthless horde of Northern Vandals, whose t avowed object is to subjugate a free people o and render them submissive to a tyranny, c to which eveo death itself is far preferable; t and when our brave volunteers have forsa- f ken their daily avocatioDS in life, and ex- ] changed their peaceful homes and quiet \ firesides, for the toil and privation of a military camp, to drive back the foe that has t threatened our dearest rights and institu- t tions with destruction, our property with t confiscation, and our homes with desolation; c it is gratifying, though not at all surpri- e sing, to see that our noble Southern wo- c men still cherish within them the exalted feelings of patriotism, which thrilled the 1 heart, and actuated the conduct of the women of the American Revolution; and that they are ready, willing, and anxious to as- 1 sist, in their appropriate sphere, in this, our great struggle for independence. From i almost every direction we hear that they * arc fnrminrr Aid and Relief Associations. 1 so that, by thu9 combining their individual ' efforts, they are enabled more effectually to ^ contribute to the comfort and relief of the s sick and wounded volunteers. This not only shows the spirit they entertain, but it also I encourages the heart, and nerves the arm 8 of the wearied and almost despairing sol c dier, and urges him on to deeds of valor & and renown?so long as such resolute feel- c ings exist among our ladies, no such word 1 as subjugation can be applied to us?before * that is accomplished, every arm must be c relaxed in death, and every heart cease its 1 pulsations throughout our glorious infant 8 Confederacy. The ladies of Rock Hill and vicinity are . not remiss in this great and excellent work. They have formed an Association among themselves, which is now in a very flourishing condition, and they have entered upon their business with a zeal and prompt- j ness that must have the desired effect in ameliorating the deplorable condition in j which our array has been situated for some weeks past. The officers are as follows: MRS. R. A. SPRINGS, President. MISS M. HUTCHISON, V. President. MISS MARY E. WHITE, Treasurer. MRS. W. S. DUNLOP, Secretary. This association of ladies has, by its own t exertions and voluntary contributions, been t enabled to send a great quantity of medi- v cines, clothing, &c. to the army and hospit- o als in Virginia, and they feel that they have c soarcely made a beginning in the great ? work before them. The ladies have also n determined to send one of our citizens? ? Rev. Mr. Roper?who has offered his ser vices, to Virginia; and he will there act in the capacity of nurse for the soldiers, and also as agent for the Association. He will start on Tuesday, the 24th instant, and will be pleased to take charge of such boxes as any of our citizens may wish to send, under his care, to their frieods in the army of the Potomac. W.

No Confederate hurt, but the Federals suffered leverlv. The Norfolk Day Booh, of Saturday, eports a naval engagement on James River, >n the thirteenth, in which the Confoderite steamer Patrick Henry dropped down ,he river near Newport News, for the pur>ose of using the Federal vessels, the Savannah, a large sloop-of-war, and the gun)oat Daylight, lying there, as a target to ry the range of her guns. The Patrick Elenry opened fire and the Federals replied, rhe Daylight advanced, when she received i broadside, which forced her to retreat. \dvancing again, she was met in like manter, and again forced to retreat. The engagement lasted half an hour only, and was liscontinued when too dark to see. The ^atrick Henry retired out of James River. Skirmish at Harper's Ferry.? Oq Monday last, quite a lively skirmish oocured at Harper's Ferry, between a detachnent of Col. Ashby's cavalry, numbering orne twenty-five, and a body of Federalists, lumbering about one hundred. The Hesiaos had crossed the river with the sup)oscd intention of plundering, and were on he island, in and about Herr's Mill, when >ur men opened fire on them. The fire was cturned, and a young gentleman named Scott Jones, a member of Colonel Ashby's roop, was severely wounded in the hand md breast, by a ball from the enemy.

IN the issuing writs recently to the Jg Managers of Elections, the fact was overlooked that fgi our State Constitution was changed by the two acts from H which extracts are quoted below, and but one day was al- 5?j lowed for holding the polls, instead of two, as formerly ; Managers of Elections will, therefore, take notice, and hold wl the election for one day only, and count and return the votes as required by law. It will be seen that the act* below are Intended tffregu late our State elections; but the Constitution of the Con- Kit federate States gives Congress the power, if they think proper, to establish a uniform day in the States lor holding 351 the elections of members of Congress, and the act of Con- jjH gross, fixing '.lie first Wednesday in October next, says that the election is to be conducted according to the forms established by each State.
