[The reader will observe the following communication is dated Sept. 7th, and was received two days after the one which we published last week, dated the 11th inst. The former came by private conveyance, the latter, by Mr. Reagan's mail.] / Camp, hear Gerkaxtown, Fairfax. Va., ) / 5th Regiment, S. C. V., Sept. 7,1861. J Dear Enquirer :?In consequence of the indisposition of "Our Corporal," who has been absent from Camp for some two weeks, I offer you and your readers, a brief and hurried note, giving you on account of an attack made by us, a few days since. On Tuesday evening last, 3rd instant, about 8 o'clock, P. M., we received orders to be ready to march in half an hour. At the appointed time we were in readiness, and took up the line of march, accompanied by a detachment of the Washington Artillery, consisting of one rifled cannon, and two twelve pounder howitzers, under the command of Lieut. Squires, and one Squadron of cavalry, under the command of Lieut. Watt, and also a few guides under the command of Lieut. Morehead, whose services ? a. _k_l? u..:? were mvaiuaoiej me wueic uciu? uuuci the command of our gallant Colonel, M. Jenkins, and numbering about six hundred 1 and seventy-five effective men. The night was dark and gloomy, so much so that often times a soldier could not see even his fileleader, bufby indomitable perseverance, we managed to make our way over the rough hills, through the dark valleys and narrow defiles, which lay in our way. After having traveled the whole night, in quick time, I over a distance of twenty miles, with blanket, one day's rations, gun, accoutrements SDd forty rounds of cartridges, we found ourselves near the banks of the Potomac, at a point known by the name of "Great Falls" some twelve or Sfteen miles above Washington, and some fourteen miles in advance of our advanced pickets. The sun had just risen high enough to exhibit the glittering dew drops as they hung upon the verdant grass, which covered a bill overlooking the Potomac, at a point opposite where the enemy were encamped, when our battery was ordered to ascend it. At about 7* o' ock, A. M., our commander had us in position?placing the battery upon the hill of which we have just spoken, Capt's, Goes and Walker's companies of Light Infantry, out as skirmishers, a few hundred yards to the right, fronting the enemy's barracks, and Capt's, Seay and Seabrook's, about half a mile still farther to the right, fronting a Ferry, while Capt's, Carpentei and Jackson, with one company of Cavalry, were placed about two miles still farther down, to prevent the crossing of the enemy over a bridge, known here, by the name ol d_:j? y> rpu- ? "i/lincuu JjriUgC. JLUC pwat wao vunom ered quite a dangerous one, and judging from what I have seen of the courage and coolness of these men, displayed in pasl engagements, I have no doubt, should the enemy have attempted to cross, they would have disputed their passage as gallantly as did the brave Spartans, that of Xerxes1 hosts at the pass of Thermopylae. Capt. Foster with the other company ol cavalry was posted higher up, to the left ol *he battery, od Captains Glenn, Giles, and Bowen in rear as a reserve. At 8 preciselj the command ''fire" was given, when, tc the utter surprise of the enemy, Lieutcnanl Squires opened his battery Upon them, scattering them in every direction. After firing eome ten minutes upon what we believed tc be their Head Quarters, they hoisted upon the building the yellow flag?sign of the hospital?when, though doubting their veracity, our fire was immediately changed and directed against the works of the aqueduct, which I believe supplies the city with water, and to scattering groups who were trying to conceal themselves behind bushes and rocks along the banks of the river.? The river was so wide and the country sc rough that we found it impossible to use oui Infantry to much advantage. Two companies, however, (Captains Seay and Seabrook) succeeded in getting to the water's edge and kept up a pretty constant fire with considerable effect?the former Captain, with his long ranger, killing two of them himself. After havingfired upon them as long as we could see them, which was between IV three quarters and an hour, killing, as near as we could judge, some twenty five or thirty (though I have heard subsequently, more) without their returning a single fire, with the exception of a few musket shots that were fired, without effect, by some of their pickets or advanced sentinels the whole command was ordered back upon the reserve, and, agreeable to orders, was immediately put upon the march for our encampment, to prevent the thousands who lay, both above and below us, from marching across and cutting us off, which, had they known our position, they might have AAAlIn Jama IUah T 1* 1 ? A *-r **Trt TTTAT11 llOTTO ctioiijr uuue, uuuugu i. uoncvc no nuuiu umv. perished or cut our way through rather thaD have given our necks to the halters, and our hands to the hand-cuffs which they have in Btore for us. But the march was too long and arduous for many, and for miles back they were left scattered along the roadside, the greater portion, however, returning before sun-set, after having marched, without rest, a distance of over forty miles in one night and day. Wagons were immediately dispatched for those who were left behind, and in a short time we found ourselves within the lines of our regimental guard, and although we suffered some from fatigue in our long march, we have the consolation of knowing that we are the only regiment as yet, in this division, marched to the batiks of the Potomac and fought the enemy across it. Before closing, permit me to give you a brief sketch of a visit I paid a few days since, in company with our Colonel and several other friends, to "Munson's Hill." This hill is about five miles from the Potomac, and about four, N. E. from "Falls Church," and is now held by our advanced pickets. From its summit, with the aid of a telescope, or marine glass, we could see very plainly the enemy about equi distant between the hill and the river, very busily engaged throwing up works, evidently preparing to resist an attack. The city is seen very plainly at a distance of five miles N. W., while Alexandria appears to be about . six N. E. Many of their encampments, with the stars and stripes floating over them, are quite visible to the naked eye. Our pickets are within musket shot of each other, and keep up a pretty constant firing. One of ours was killed about half an hour before our arrival, and I learn that we have since lost several; but, as usual, we generally get the better of it. To my utter astonishment, while standing upon the hill, viewing the beautiful scenery around, I saw three ladies ascending. They were the the wives of some of the officers in command of that post. Knowing the daugers to which they were exposed, (one man having been shot upon it the day previous) I felt that he must be truly happy who knows that there is one, at least, who not only loves him, but who, in the hour or peril, is williug to risk life itself to be by his side. I had for some time past considered myself fortunate, in times like these, in being per mitted still to enjoy the celibate state, but when I there saw true love exhibited?saw the willingness of those loving wives to follow their brave husbands through every daoger, and to share their hardships, I readily came to the conclusion that they were much more fortunate than we who have not beeD permitted to approach Hymen's shrine. If I were to prophecy, I would say, judging from our movements, and that of the enemy, that "Munson's Hill" is soon to become a field of strife and bloodshed. And, as I stood upon it and saw in the distance the city of Washington ?the capitol of the once greatest republic the world has ever known, and nearer the silvery waves of the world-renowned Potomac, and nearer still the thick foliage, and deep forest that grew upon its banks, and nearer still the valley below me, through which limpid streams make their way me andering to the waters of the Potomac. I could but gaze with admiration, but when I reflected how soon that city might be reduced to ashes?the lovely scenery and the greeu meadows around torn up and troddeu down amid the tumult of war, and perhaps those crystal streams turned to streams of blood, and the many brave sons that would perhaps there sleep the last long sleep of death, I could not refrain from dropping a tear. How long this war is to continue and who shall survive it, God only knows, but I trust that every son of the South will go forward fearlessly, and with alacrity whenever and wherever duty may call him, until we have forced the North to acknowledge our rights, our liberty, and nationality.

Persons wishing to attach themselves to a company of Cavalry, for service in the State of South Carolina and in defence of her border, are hereby notified that Muster Rolls for signatures may be found in the bands of the following persons, viz:? , Col. W. B. Wilson and D. J. Logan, Yorki ville ; Dr. E. T. Avery, near Ebenezerville; Mr. Reuben McConnell, McCoonellsville, n?. Q ti | HIIU Viipt. o. &i. XJLMLUUUjr j ui IUV/ vuv,.v?w Iron Works. Other sections of the Dis. trict it is hoped will also have lists soon. We wish it distinctly understood that the formation of this company will take place upou the basis of a "free fight," so thatj . those who may be concerned about its ultij mate failure when the election for officers | takes place, may have all appreheusions ; quieted. The first object in view, is to ob. tain the requisite number of names for the | formation of a company; aud every name j subscribed is as should be subscribed with ' perfect resignation to serve iti any capacity the company may see fit to place it. p Patriotism and a love of country forbid p that any man should so elevate himself, as [ to be unwilling to serve as a "private" iu , defence of all he holds most dear. Let all, , then, who love their country, and prefer j the Cavalry service, come forward and subscribe their names cheerfully, and let us r not hear two much of "0, I prefer the In\ fantry service" for "Old York," for the i sake of ease, I know, will never stand back , in the service of the country.

Richmond, Sept. 17.?Secretary Memminger, of the Treasury, haa approved and accepted the bond of the Southern Express Company of 8100,000 for the faithful performance of their oontract and duties as collecting agents for the revenue department. Richmond, Sept. 19.?Sixty-eight Hes sian prisoners, taken in the mountains of Virginia, and fifteen from Manassas arrived here this afternoon via Central train. It is understood that the Yankees reinforced Arlington Heights with a force of 10,000 men on Tuesday last. All communication with the North was cut off from the Virginia side on the 13th instant. About 500 Yankee prisoners will be soon sent to New Orleans. September 20.?The Enquirer, of this morning, says that from the large fleet in Hampton Roads during the present week it is evident that a movement like the Hatteras affiair is contemplated. The federals are daily practising with 15-inch columbiads at Old Point. Twent-two refugees from Maryland reached here yesterday, inoluding two members of the Legislature. Many have already left and others will follow. A perfect reign of terorr iages in Maryland, women viola ted, property destroyed, and toe citizens threatened with imprisonment and death. September 23?Both the United States Senators from Maryland, it is reported, have.been arrested and putin jail. The statement about shooting four hundred troops by order of Gen. McClellan, for refusing to advance on Confederate troops, is believed in high official circles here, and from that source the information was obtained. Col. Van Dorn has arrived here He has been appointed a major general in the provisional army of the Confederate States. Richmond, September 23.?The Examiner of this morning publishes the following list of collectors of the war tax for the Confederate Government, viz : For Alabama, Joseph C.Bradley; Arkansas, Wm. H.

Williams; Texas George K. Durham ; Virginia, Henry T. Garnett. From Kentuoky. Paducah, Sept. 17.?Last night was one full of excitement at this point. Twice the pickets all around towa fired, and the whole army were turned out and formed in order of battle. The first alarm was caused by a sentinel shooting at a straggling soldier, the second by shooting into a market wagon. A fugitive who was arrested here last night from Mayfield, reports that eight thousand of Gen. Johnston's forces are at Mayfield, and ten thousand more approaching this place. Greenville, Ky., (via Mobile,) September 20.?A number of Southerners passed here this afternoon for Louisville, on various conveyances, aod report that Gov.

Frankfort, September 20.?The Legislature calls the Kentuckians and Tennesseeans invaders, and says that they must be expelled; that the Fedetals only come to Kentucky to preserve tranquility; and requests the Governor to place Thos. L. Crittenden in command of the State troops.? Underwood was unable to suppress his emotion, and spoke against such resolutions.? This is taken from the Louisville Journal. The Courier has been suppressed. Rosseau, yesterday morning, was cross ing Rolling Fork in flats, and not liking the mustering of the Harden County boys, he suddenly re-crossed, with six hundred that had got over.

The Department is pleased to hear of the zeal of the patriotic citizens of your couuty, and their willingness to pay the "War Tax," and appreciates at the same time the difficulties which the blockade will impose upon the planters, unless broken. Congress will, however, doubtless provide some remedy to aid the planters, in the event of the continuance of the blockade. Very respectfully, 0. G. MEMMINGER, Secretary of Treasury. Mobile Advertiser. Another Battle in Missouri. St. Louis, Sept. 16.?Twenty three negroes have been declared free under Gen. Fremont's proclamation, being the property of leading rebels. Leavenworth papers of the 11th give the following account of a late engagement between Rains and Montgomery : On the 2d, 600 rebels under Rains approached Fort Scott and seized 80 mules belonging to the Government and killing the teamster. A messenger was despatched to Montgomery, who had five hundred men. lie pursued Rains 11 miles, and when coming upon the main body of the enemy a battle commenced, the rebels having five cannon and Montgomery one howitzer only.

He has taken a residence Ion Sullivan's Island, and will reside there ' the rest of the season. Gen. Lee's Operations. Richmond, Sept. 23.?Gen. Lee's official report of his plan of operations on Cheat Mountain frontier was received at the War Department to-day, from which it appears that his entire plan was disconcerted from a failure of one of his columns to attack the enemy's position on the mountain. The enemy was defended by an almost impenetrable stockade fort. The enemy at Cheat Mountain had been reinforced by three Ohio regiments. Nashville, September 18?The State of Teonessee seized last night at the State Line, 90 box oars, 9 locomotives, 6 passenger cars, and 2 baggage oars, belonging to the Kentucky portion of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad; also arrested Fish Henry, Conductor, and Basset, Telegraph Operator at State Line. The Confederates have fortified Bowling Green and Munfordville; (the latter place is 70 miles from Louisville.) Several merchants have been arrested in Louisville. The Savannah Banks.?The Banks of Savannah have adopted the following resolutions, similar to those adopted in Charleston : Resolved, That the Banks in this city will receive in payment and on deposit, with the privilege to pay them out, all the Treasury notes issued by the Confederate States of America, and that such Treasury notes be used in the weekly settlements. Resolved, That no collections whatever will be made unless the customers and depositors agree to receive such Treasury notes in payment. Glass Factory.?As we are anxious to see the establishment of such an enterprise, we cheerfully comply with the request to insert the following note from the Charleston Courier: An enterprising gentleman, who can command the requisite capital, has resolved to establish a glass factory within this State, if the proper labor can be procured. Glass makers, or workmen able to conduot a bottle glass factory, will, no doubt, find employment by addressing "Glass Factory," to the care of this office. T> ..." Drn/iirini' Tho T?tr?h.

A portion of her cargo consisted of 2,000 muskets and 125 rifles, which our brave soldiers will turn to good account against the enemy. Prohibited.?The Governor of North Carolina has issued a notice to the agents of the various railroad companies, prohibiting their conveying bacon and leather out of the State under the penalty of a heavy fine or imprisonment. They are also instructed to report to him the names of the shippers and owners of such articles, as under this prohibition may be stopped. The object of the Governor in this action is to put down speculators. Sequestration in Charleston.?As yet the returns made to the receivers apDoiuted bv the Confederate court have been r ~ ? limited, but a large number of persons have applied for instruction as to the manner in which returns are to be made, and for blank forms for that purpose. It is gener ally believed, however, that the property in Charleston subject to this law will amount to several millions of dollars.?Mercury. Health of Charleston.?We are pleased to learn from the Mercury that the health of Charleston at this time is excellent. The mortality statistics for last week showed only eleven deaths; whereas the average of weekly deaths at the same season in other years has never been less than thirty. Aitn-nmv Sir.ifnj flnpvRE There was a sale yesterday (says the Charleston Courier, of the 18th inst.) at auction, by H. Cobia & Co., of 1000 bags Laguayra Coffee, of mixed quality, cargo of the prize bark Roxoena. The average price was about 28-? cents, and the sale netted in the neighborhood of 530,000. We are informed (says the Charleston Courier, of the 18th icst.) that parties now in this city have nearly perfected their arrangements for the establishment of a Type and Stereotype Foundry, and are desirous of procuring the immediate services of some thorough practical Type Founders and Engravers, who are familiarly acquainted with the different branches of these trades As the success of this enterprise affects all parties in the Confederacy, we hope our exchanges will extend this notice, in order that the foundry may be speedily put in working order, and thereby enable all to renew and enlarge their stock of materials when necessary. Farther information may be obtained on proper inquiry at this office. From Texas.?A letter from Galveston, Texas, of a recent date, to a young lady of Charleston, informs us that au attempt was made by about three hundred Lincolnites to affect a landing, it is supposed, for the purpose of firing the city, but they were at tacked by the citizens and military, when they made good their retreat. Talking with the editor of an eveningjournal, Quilp inquired : "What's the use of your second editioo, coming as it does so soon after the regular issue ?"? "Use," replied the candid editor, "Why, to contradict the telegraph dispatches in the first edition !" Quilp caved incontinently and confessed that he saw it. The Sumter.?The Veuezuela Consul at Curacoa had received advices from Caracus, Venezuela, to August 22, which stated that the privateer Sumter had gone ashore on the Island of Trinadad, Port of Spain, about the 20th of August, and had become a total wreck.

YOUNG- r BLOOD, son of Harauel C. and Lucy Youngblood, in the c 21st year of his age. * The lamented subject of this notice, was born and reared 4 in our midst, and Inherited in so remarkable a measure, a L disposition of mildness and generosity, graced by an inno cent 8prightllness of spirit, as to endear him to his assocla- r tea and acquaintances everywhere. To his training in the j, elementary schools of the country, had been added the ad- t vantages of the Village Academy, whence his attainments j were *uch. as to fit him for a station of influence and use- n fulness In society. Just twelve months ago, it was his privilege to nttend a protracted meeting at Bullock's Creek Church, in the progress of which, his mind was brought under the Influence of Divine truth, nnd with a bowed head and streaming eyes, he asked the penitent's question, -i "What must 1 do to be saved ?" In the repeated mlnlste- p rial interviews held with him, Christ in all his fulness was t) proposed to his faith, and pressed upon his acceptance.? Q When the occasion closed, he was found to entertain a hope that the Holy Spirit had overcome the obstinacy of his will. a and had won his heart to accept the Saviour as he is offered in the Gospel, and to trust in him for salvation. From the q time of the meeting, until he volunteered for the Confed- (] crate Service, and left with his company, his deportment was not only moral and amiable as formerly, but marked by ? n pious and devotional air, speaking the attachment of his heart to the duties and pleasures of religion. Young Mr. . Alston, the zealous and patriotic Chaplain of the 6th S. C. Regiment, hod frequent Interviews with him in his last ill- . ness, and stated to a ministerial friend, just home from a ' visit to our army, that he entertained a good hope that our lamented young soldier died a Soldier of the Cross, and has ' gone to enjoy his nobler victories with the triumphant army ( in Heaven. Would that his youthful associates in amis, as ) they can hear his name no more in the company roll-call, v nor again look upon his placid countenance nmong the 9 uniformed brotherhood, could hear a thrilling note from the fl voice of his memory, that should summon them at once to ( turn from a life of thoughtlessness and sin, and prepare for ^ that eternity into which the flashing of a gun may plunge r mem in a moment. j His remains were brought home by his nffllcted father, on j Saturday last, and on Sabbath morning were followed by a n large concourse of sorrowing friends to their place of repose s in the church yard at Bullock's Creek. An Intensity of ( grief equal to that produced by this sudden stroke, has rare- c ly, if ever, been witnessed In this community before. Added to all the sentiments and sympathies awakened by the loss of a mu?h loved and promising young man, was the bitter Ingredient that he had fallen a sacrifice to the 1 genius of that despotism, which seeks to invade and desolate our country and homes with rapine, fire, and sword? Surely the blood on our battlefields, the mortality in our hospitals, and the tears of saddened families, will rise ill the _ sight of Heaven and plead our cause with God. o Mr. P. P. DARWIN was bom in York District, May J 29th, 1840, and died in Richmond, Virginia, at the rest- ( deuce of Mr. John D. Smith, September 2nd, 1861. He t, was a member of the "Jasper Light Infantry," Fifth Re- t| giment, South Carolina Volunteers. He had been for four ( yenrs previous to iiis death a consistent member of the g Methodist Episcopal Church. The great absorbing theme a with him during hi* illness, was Religion; and his friends Jj rejoice to know that ho had its consolation In the valley (j and shadow of death. He prayed much and earnestly, and t it seemed that lie placed his whole trust in God. "Farewell, brother! deep and lowly Rest thee on thy bed of clay ; Kindred spirits, angels holy, Bore thy heavenward soul away; Sad we gave thee to the number Laid in yonder Icy hnlls, I And above thy peaceful slumber Many a shower *f sorrow falls. Dearest brother, thou hast left us, Here, thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hath bereft us; J He can all our sorrows heal.
