/ 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

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.

mond Enquirer says the news has beeD officially
received in Richmond, within a few
days past, that a vessel under British register
arrived at New Orleans with an assorted
cargo, having successfully run the blockade.
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.

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

and confessed that he saw it.
The Sumter.?The Veuezuela Consul
at Curacoa had received advices from Caracus,
Venezuela, to August 22, which stated

Died?Of Typhoid fever, at the camp near Germantown, j
in Virginia, on the 17lh Instant, WILLIAM A. 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.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
vv nen me nay ni me is neu, Then
In heaven with Joy to greet thee, J
Where no farewell tear is shed." ;

TIIE Legislature having, at its late
session, authorized tile Issue of Bonds to the amount
of,*675,000, bearing an interest of skvkn per cent., for the
purpose of providing the funds required to sustain the State
in the act of resuming her rights of sovereignty, this Bank is
now prepared to dispose of the Bonds. They are issued In
sums of .$50, iJlOO and $'>00. An opportunity Is thus afforded
every citizen to make a secure and profitable invest
mcnt, while contributing aid to the cause in which the
State is engaged. With the view of enabling citizens in
any part of the 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 lite Bonds on tne receipt of the
money, at an early day after each subscription has been
made. Engagements tor the purchase of Bonds may be
made at the Bank, or any of its Branches. It is probable
that, at tltc next session of the Legislature, those parties
