C.,) / * December 29, 1861. $ / Dear Enquirer :?MaDy of jour readers have doubtless come to the conclusion that my letters are "few and far between." The want of matter proper to be published, is the excuse we offer for our apparent direction of duty. Rumors abound in our camp nearly everyday, startling 6nough to satisfy the most inveterate newsmonger, but on investigation, the mountain is generally found to have been in labor, and the product, a mouse. Our regiment left Pocotaligo, on the 8th instant, at 81 o'clock, p. m., pursuant to ao order from General Lee, who had re ceived dispatches advising him that the Yankees were landing in force near Port Royal Ferry. We left our encampment with light baggage, accompanied by a detaohmeot of the North Carolina flying, ar tillery, under command of Lieuteoant Mc Elhaney, and proceeded to Gardner's Corner, a distance of seven miles. Col. Dunovant after conferring with Col. Jones, who was stationed at that place, faced his regiment about and marched it back about two miles above Pocotaligo and bvouaced among the bushes for the night. One Company, accompanied by the artillery, was, however, detailed for picket duty, and ordered to a position two miles distant, on a road leading to Page's Point Ou the appearance of daylight, 't was ascertained that the ? , , jt ^ . . whole story was talse, aca mat not a siogie Yaujjiee had landed, or attempted to do so. On Monday morning the company on picket duty returned to the regiment, and all the camp equipage was brought down from Pocotaligo. On Tuesday the "long roll" was beaten, the regiment formed and marched to Gardner's Corner?the report having reached us of another landing.?1 This, however, turned out to be wolf story j number two On Thursday another alarm, j another march, anct wolf story number three. Everything remained quiet until Wednesday morning, the 18th, when the firing of artillery was heard in the direction of 1'ort Royal Ferry All were on the qui vive for the "long roll," and preparations were made for moving at a minute's warning. About sundown, a courier arrived from the Ferry, stating that the North Carolina artillery had fired on oue of the enemy's gun-boats, disabling her seriously?that she was aground ?and could be easily captured. The command was immediately put in motion and ! marched to withio two miles of the Ferry,! where we were informed that the boat bad J got off?that the artillery company had j rfired into three flats loaded with uien, whoj had come to her assistance?sunk one flat, i and duue much other damage to the Yaukees. There being nothing for us to do, j we "marched down the hill." There are matters about which we could write calculated to interest and satisfy your' -readers, but prudence dictates silence. In I regard to our forces, suffice it to say, that a j sufficient number of men can be conceutra-i ted, at any point where our enemies can * _ i i_ ?... . t narui us, 10 anve uicui uacts iu uiewv? ui their guD boat3.

M ?j Camp xKAK sTO.NKY cREEK. s. c., i January 5, ls62 > Dear Enquirer .?Since my last we Lave #een the wolf. On Wednesday morning, the 1st instant, about ten o'clock, heavv cannonading was heard in ' v O the direction of Port Royal Ferrv, which was conjectured at once to proceed from Yankee gun-boats. Preparation was immediately commenced for a move?knapsacks were packed, canteens filled with water, haversacks with provisions, and cartridges distributed ? About half past eleven o'clock a courier arrived with information that the enemy had landed on the "main" in large force. Gen. Pemberton, who had just arrived at our cainp, immediately ordered four companies to the support of Col. Jones' Regiment, which was stationed in the immediate vicinity of the ferry. The companies designated for the service, were the "Palmer Guards," Capt. McCorkle ; the "Campbell Rifles," Capt. Miller; the "Lancaster Hornets," under command of Lieut. Campbell; and the "Bonham Rifles," from Pickens District, under Lieut. Moody?^the whole, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Barnes. The battalion was formed in a few minutes and moved off at once for the scene of action. It pushed forward vigorously, and reached the vicinity of the ferry about half past two o'clock. The Yankees saluted our arrival with a number of shells, which fell uncomfortably close to us, without, however, doing us any injury. We were immediately ordered to the left of the main road, near where Col. Jones' Regiment had already taken position in a pine thicket, about a mile from the river, and in supporting distance of two pieces of light Artillery. We had just taken the position assigned us, when bang! went one of the field pieces, and I heard the exclamation from some one ?"they are coming!" Our battalion was immediately moved back a few hundred yards to prevent the enemy from flanking Col. Jones. We filed into an open field and were deployed along a fence situated between us and the enemy. We could very soon see them advancing, deployed as skirmishers, in the direction of Col. Jones' Regiment, which give them a volley as soon as they got in range, when they, (the Yankees) retreated at a break-neck pace. ^Another body of skirmishers commenced moving towards where our battalion was posted. When they had approached within some two hundred and fifty yards of our position, the order was given to charge on them. Our boys immediately jumped the fence, and the Yankees turned about and scampered off again. At this, our men commenced nn irrpcmlar fire, which, however, owing to the great distance, done no damage as far as we could see. The fire was returned by a company posted to our right in a skirt of woods, by which one man in the "Lancaster Hornets" was severely wounded, and Sergeant David Jackson, of Captain McCorkle's Company, lost the crown of his cap. This is all the damage we sustained although the balls fell around us as thick as hail. At this juncture three members of Cap$. Miller's Company, who had been detailed to watch the movements of the enemy near the skirt of the woods mentioned above, returned and reported the enemy advancing in considerable force, with a view, doubtless, to get on our flank. i|Capt. McCorkle's Company was ordered to the brow of a hill near by, when it advanced and took position hehind a bank which had been thrown up near some houses as an enclosure.? The enemy could not be seen, owing to a thicket of small pints behind which they were passing, although the officers could be heard giving commands. The other companies were ordered to our support, and deployed along the brow r>f thp hill. Thev had hardlv crot in v* ----- o position when the- enemy appeared in some force on our right. Lieut. Campbell's Company, which occupied the position nearest the enemy, opened fire, when they made a precipitate retreat a gain and took cover near the gun-boats lying in the river, only some few hundred yards distant. Col. Jones' Regiment by this time had come to our assistance, and the Yankee forces having taken shelter, the gun-boats commenced shelling us at a furious rate. Col. Jones, by seniority, being in command, ordered the forces to retire out of range of the shells.? The retrogade movement was immediately commenced in good order, but the column had proceeded but a short distance, until a large shell exploded in the midst of it, killing three instantly and wounding six or seven others, some of j whom have since died. All who were j injured by this casualty belonged to jCol. Jones' Regiment. Private Vallandingham, of Lancaster, belonging to our regiment was killed by another shell. Several others were wounded but not seriously. The enemy continued the cannonade until near dark, but without doing any furi ther damage. On leaving the field, we were joined by General Donelson with a portion of his brigade (the 8th Tennessee Regiment) who assumed command of the entire force and moved us about two miles from the ferry, when he ordered a bivouac for the night. The forces under his command now numbered about fourteen hundred men, together - V T 1,1 Willi 1UUI pictes VI UluilViJ. >, i nuum just mention here, by the way, tin it one of the pieces formerly belonged ro, the famous Sherman battery, which was captured at the battle of Manassas. Our troops acted gallantly. When j all done well, it is invidious to make {distinctions. The greatest difficulty was to restrain the men within due bounds. Of one thing our people may rest assured, that the 12th and 14th Regiments of South Carolina Yolun{teers will never do any act calculated to bring reproach upon the fair fame oi of our beloved State. We, of course, have no means of ascertaining the exact loss of the enemy, ! One man belonging to a Michigan Reg: iment, was wounded and taken prisoner. I and others were killed by Col. Jones' j Regiment at the first fire. The priso' ner has since died. The force of the V WW w enemy is variously estimated at from 1 two to four thousand. Your corres- ( pondent but two regiments of in- 1 fantry. , On Thursday morning^ in accordance with orders, our forces moved back about a quarter of a mile from where we had bivouaced the night previous, and formed a line of battle. About 10 o'- 1 clock, a. m., ^he enemy commenced shelling Col. Jones' deserted camp at a furious rate, and continued the a7 I musement for about two hours. In the meantime, a picket arrived who reported that the enemy had landed a large force at Combahee Ferry, above our position, and that they were making an effort to get in our rear and cut off our communications. This report caused General Donelson, in order to checkmate this movement, to fall back to Gardner's Corner. Line of battle was - ?*? ^ ?-?J ft 1n4>^ow r\l o no again iormeu iicui mu khuui scouts sent out and arrangements made to give them a warm reception, should they venture to come out. About four o'clock, the scouts returned, having ascertained that the statement of the picket was false, and that the enemy had left the neighborhood of Port Royal Ferry. We were then ordered to this place, which is within a mile and a half of our old encampment at Pocotaligo, and three and a half miles from the Savannah Rail Road. Captain McCorkle's and Capt. Miller's Companies on yesterday, were furnished with excellent improved English Rifles. I learn they are a part of the cargo of the steamship Bermuda, which run the efficient blockade at Savannah some time since. Yours, very tired, L. M. G. Tribute of Respect.

The conflicting rumors throughout the j city Wednesday und Thursday, of fighting at Port Royal, caused much excitement.? It was slated early on Wednesday morning that dispatches had been received saying that the enemy had landed at a point near Port Royal Ferry, that they had been met by our forces and driven back to their gunboats This was partially confirmed by a dispatch received in official quarters, stating that the enemy had landed near the ferry and driven in our pickets, but that Generals Pemberton and Donelsou had taken a i position to meet them, should they attempt j to advance beyoud the range of their boats. Passengers by the Charleston and Savan ;nah Railroad, Thursday afternoon, state that the fighting of Wednesday was renewied Thursday, and very heavy firing heard jiu the direction of Coosawhatchie and Poicotaligo. The accounts given of the first I- - e n?i I DgM siaie maiour troops, uuuMPiiug ui wi. < Joues' Regiment and three companies ofj Col. Dunovant'i Regiment, met the enemy \ on landing at Chisholm'e place, and making] ' a brilliant charge repelled and drove them I 1 back to their gunboats. Our men secured I a number of small arms which the retreat-! ing forces threw away in their flight, and} ! also took a prisoner. In the pursuit, apor j 1 tion of Col. Jones' men rather impetuous-j ly advanced within range of the gunboats, j when u shell from a howitzer fell and exploded among them, killing six and wounding twelve. The wounded men were ' brought up to the Hospital, under the care . and treatment of Surgeon Hough, of Col. . Jones' Regiment. The enemy's force was said to be about ' three thousand five hundred, and our own but very little over a thousand. The loss I j of the enemy in the engagement was not fj ascertained. It was also reported that our | battery ut Page's Point had been attacked : by three gunboats, und the battery abau i doned, after removing all the guns but one. ,1 A dispatch from Gen. Pemberton states that the fight was renewed Thursday morning. Col. Orr's regimeutis under march' iug orders, ready to leave at any moment. A correspondent writingfrom Camp Guil lard, Wadmalaw Island, under date of the 2nd instant, says: "About 10 o'siock, Wed nesday morning, Capt. Twiggs and his men, of the Edgefield Mounted Company, acting j as scouts, came hurriedly from near Rook- < ville, to our oamp, and reported to Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard that one of their men, who had been on the lookout, reported the 1 landing of a small body of the enemy, num | bering about sixty or eighty, at Rookville J Watching his opportunity, he had suddenly faced the enemy, fired and killed bis man, J Turning his horse somewhat suddenly, in 1 order to elude his pursuers, he was thrown, when his horse ran in the direction of Rook- 1 ville. On recovering, he found that his 1 Bhoulder was dislocated, but managed to 1 secrete himself in a thiok wood, and has thus been enabled to communicate with bis captain. He also reported the enemy ad ? ) VBDCIDg. "Lieut. Col. Gaillard immediately gave the order for three companies, the Sumter 1 Guards, Irish Volunteers and Charleston Riflemen, to march agaiost the enemy, and shortly afterwards the whole of the 17th regiment were pushed forward on their way to Rockville. When about eight miles from camp, about half way, the Charleston ! and Cadet Riflemen were thrown out to the right and left as an advance guard. Appearances now indicated the long wished for fight. Col. Branch, hearing of the march and the prospect of an engagement, came up and assumed command by right of seniority, and was determined on an attack if the enemy made his appearance "Ouradvanced guard, however, who had been to Rockville, returned with the intelligence that the bird bad flown and no en emy was to be seen. Our men felt somewhat sore at this disappointment after a long march, and an order was given to return to camp. "It was no doubt a small foraging party, who had returned to their gunboats at nightfall. We all expected the first fight on Wadmalaw island, but will have to await another opportunity." Our correspondent also says, that very heavy firing was heard yesterday afternoon, in the direction of Savannah, and there was much anxiety in camp to hear from that Quarter. Brifr Gen. Maxcv Gregg arrived in this r? ? ? city Wednesday from Columbia, and has taken his departure for headquarters at Po cotaligo. Gen. Lee, we understand, now commands in person in that vicinity.?Courier. The Question of Recognition. The tone of the British press seems to indicate that the recognition of the nationality of the Confederate States is at hand. The firm and dignified course pursued thus far, the victories which we have achieved, and, last of all, the humiliating back-down of the Lincoln Government in the Mason and Slidell affair, all tend to this result.? But the prime motive, according to the London Timcx, which will actuate foreign Governments in the recognition of our young Confederacy, is the confident and independent tone of President Davis' last message to Congress. In that paper the President says : "The Confederate States ask no aid from foreign powers." He tells the world, in substance, that every Southern heart is a fortress, and every Southern hand a weapon, to resist and drive back tbe invaders and would be subjugators of our soil; and bis words are believed by tbe world, backed, as they are, by the history of the past year, with which as his subject says the Times, a less accomplished writer than President Davis might certainly become eloquent." The London Post, a Government organ, also alludes, in its issue of December 7, to President Davis* message in the highest terms of praise, and says : "With a view of observing strict neutrality between the contending States, we have carefully refrained from officially recognizing the South but the time has certainly arrived at which we must, at all events, recoynize the inde pendent confederation of the ISouth as an actual fact." These indications are certainly gratifying, and encourage tbe belief that the day of recognition of the Southern Confederacy is close at hand. The effects of this recognition will be important in the renewed energy and encouragement which it will give to the people of the Southern Confederacy, and the contrary feeling which it will produce at the North. It is by no means essential to the consummation of our independence, but it may materially promote that object, and it will certainly be welcomo news whenever it comes.?Auyusta Constitutionalist. MflHnn And 81idell Affair. The Richmond Enquirer of Friday has full copies of the communications between Seward aud Lord Lyons oa the arrest of Messrs Mason and Slidell. Tho late hour at which we received them, and our limited space, prevent us from publishing them this morning. The following very brief syoop sis may give our readers some idea of the tenor of the notes : {No. 1?Seward to Adams ) The Southern insurrection is sustained entirely by hopes of foreign recognition.? It would perish ic ninety days if these hopes should cease. Recognition wouid lead to war between the United States and the recognizing powers. To secure those unauthorized hopes, England must meet the subject in auob a way as to free it from all embarrass ujenc. {No. 2?Earl Russell to Lord Lyons.) Short and pointed. Opens wiih a statement of the seizure. Declares it an affrout to the national Sag and national honor, and demanding full reparation. Hopes tho U States Government will, of its own accord, offer such redress as alone oould satisfy the British Dation, namely : the liberation of tho Commissioners, and the delivery to Lord Lyons of a suitable apology. {Seward to Lord Lyons.) A labored argument, abounding with false statements, coveriug four columus.? The Commissioners were contraband, and liable to capture. # Tbe capture was proper, Courteous iu umuuci, uuu uuuci circumstances. International law justifies the capture, but provides no formula of adjudicatiou of the case. The vessel should have been seized, etc. But here he contradicts himself, by saying that the capture was wrong according to American princi pies and policy. Seward closes by placing the Commissioners at the disposal of Lord Lyons. In the course of his letter Seward speaks of i the effectual check given to the insurrection, says the Commissioners are comparatively unimportant persons, and if the safety of the Union demanded he would j retain them. (iVo. 4?From M Thoa venal to M. Mercier. French Minister at Washington.} The Minister argues that the Commis- tl lioners were not liable to seizure, and de- d dares that France will support England. ti t) Richmond, Jan. 3.?The editor of the t< Petersburg Express has a dispatch that a Jag of truoe brought late papers to the Norfolk Day Book. c Washington dispatches of the 31st to the t New York Tribune of January 1, say that fi there is reason to believe that Mason and d Slidell will sail on the 1st. The surrender o does not come up to the demand of the ul- v timaturn. It is part of Seward's bargain a that Wilkes shall not be censored. a The London Post says that England will c have a reckoning as to the stone fleet. t Boston papers say that Lyons has ordered t the Niagara to take out Mason and Slidell. s McClellan is still very siok. Ben Ward, r of Ohio, is suggested as his successor. d The Persia is at Halifax with troops. i England's warlike preparations will con- t tinue, in view of difficulties arising from s the stone blockade. i The sarrender of Mason and Slidell is said not to be the whole of England's demand ? Grumbling.?The Chicago Tribune 1 thinks that the work of aobjugatioo is progressing backwards. It says: c "In these months past, while this war c has been in progress, the Sonth has been i developing new resources, aod moscolari- t zing its powers of self-snpport and resistance. It is stronger to-day than it was six months ago." j And the St. Louis Democrat observes : \ "We were going to starve out the South- | em Confederacy once. It does not look ( muoh like it now. New Orleans is suppo- i sed to have fifty thousand or sixty thous- ] and barrels of flour on hand, and it cannot | be sold at any price at present. The amount of flour in Memphis is estimated at from twenty-five thousand to thirty thousand barrels, and there is little changing hands at ] present" ' . True enough But those virtuous jourmi _ o it Dais must cot despond so soon. rne ouuiu is just beginning to fight ! Mr BI8BIE.?A dispatch to the Guar- J dian of the 3rd inst, anuouuced the arrival of Mr. Bisbie. The Charleston Courier giveB the following information concerning him : We are informed by. a Government official that Mr. D. T. Bisbie, who was sent ] with dispatches from the Confederate Gov- , eminent to our commissioners in Europe, a ' few months since, arrived with important i answers in the steamer Gladiator, at Ha- i vana, a few weeks ago, and has since reach- , ed a port in the Confederate States. We ' presume that by this time these dispatches i have bean safely placed in the hands for ! which they were intended. These dispatches are addressed to President Davis. They are hermetically sealed < and prepared for sinking, should circum- i stances render such a course necessary. ' Penbacola, Jon. 2 ?An engagement , commenced here, yesterday morning, at j half past two o'clock, caused by the enemy firing on a small steamer lying at the navy yard wharf. The firing soon became general, though slow and deliberate on both sides. The last gun was fired from our side at daylight. The shells from our guns i were thrown with great accuracy. The steamer escaped without damage. No cas- j ualties are reported. The oaly damage done was the burning ot two or tbree wooden buildings in Warrington by the enemy's j hot shot. One vessel outside, not engaged. l All was quiet at 12 o'clock, ro., with no J prospect of a renewal of hostilities. "On to Richmond." The North is pushing McClellan to a ; fight. The "on to Richmond" cry is revived. The New York World, in an article on the war, says: The credit of the Government is sinking. The people are becoming desper- i ate?ready for anything for relief from i the crushing suspense and horrible bur- j den of an immovable army and a war, j at once the most costly and the least profitable known in the history of divil- ! ized communities. All manner of fac- 1 tions will arise. Abolition fanatics? red republican fureis?secession conspirators?will grow potent in the unwholesome atmosphere of war conducted by imbeciles for the benefit of contractors. It will not do to wait, and wait any Ion? ger?now or never. From Ship Island, The New Orleans Orescent of the 1st inst., says: There was some later intelligence received yesterday from Mississippi Sound. The Hessians are assembling < rapidly on Ship Island. They are pre- ( paring for a descent somewhere on the 1 mainland. Thirty-five to forty sail are J reported to be in the harbor, beside t several small craft. What they intend 1 to do will probably be made manifest the J present month. ? ? ? * Our Coast Defences.

They were fifteen Y tiousand strong; we had only sixteen bunred. If they had stood their ground anil the following morning, we would have sken every man, but the cowardly wretches wk to their heels. The Next Crop.?From present indiations we feel safe in saying that the coton crop of the ensuing year of 1862 will all, comparatively, far short of any prece ling crop that has ever been grown tVoughut this section. Fields that were once rhite with cotton are now green with the pparent growth of small grain. Our large nd small farmers will plant cotton suffi ient only to Bupply the home demands of he Confederate States, and if we should be dessed with moderate seasons, a bountiful apply of the necessaries of life will be aised, and our people will fuel indepenlent and at ease within themselves. This s the spirit of the day; may it continue intil it drives madness from the dull and tupid brain of fanatioism?Albany (6?a ) Patriot. Pork.?The Confederate Government ippears to have been fortunate in securing in amply supply of this necessary article. The Richmond Examiner says : We learn that the government has se:ured about three hundred thousand head >f hogs, which will furnish ample provis oob, with the beef packed, for the army he ensuing year.
