TO OLD SUBSCRIBERS.
We regret very much that we have
been compelled to discontinue the Enquirer
to many of our old Subscribers.
We must have the casii for all who
may wish to continue their patronage.
Both of the Proprietors of the paper
being in the Army, the Publisher must
adopt the CASH SYSTEM to secure
a continuance.
CLERK OF THE COURT.
At an election held on the 6th inst.,
for Clerk of the Court of Common
Pleas for York District, Samuel E.
Moore, Esq., was re-elected by the fol,
lowing vote: Moore, 572; McFadden,
197. Majority for Moore, 375.
THE WEATHER.
The weather for the past few days
has been sleety, and at present writing
shows no signs of clearing up. It
would be a melancholy time, were we
not cheered by the news from Washington,
which we publish in full to-day.
The North Carolina State Con
vention meets pursuant to adjournment
on the 20th inst. It is quite an unpopular
body, as it goes into general legislation
with a vim. The antagonism between
it and the Legislature is by no
means on the decline. 1
,
- jJBgp* We would call attention to the
advertisement in our paper to-day, of
the Administrator of the late Dr. Wm. ,
Moore. A large amount of valuable
property, it will be seen, is offered.
We would also, call attention to the
advertisement of Adjutant and Inspector
General Gist.
FOR THE WAR. i
We learn that Capt. Robert Jones' t
Company of Cavalry, from this District, i
was mustered into service in the Indian i(
i
Land on Thursday last, having comple- <
ted its organization. The Captain is a {
gallant gentleman, and we doubt not he t
will be followed by his command t
through many brilliant successes, should i
opportunity offer. i

Elections were held on Saturday last 1
for the re-organization of the 34th Reg- '
iment. We have not received full re- *

Dear Enquirer :?The old year with all ,
its storm aod sunshine. its brief re unions, {
hurried farewells and long separations, is
dyiDg around us to-day. Various aod man- ,
tfold are the events that come rushing back {
upon memory. Twelve months ago to-day, c
our little State, all a'one, stood out from 1
the breakers on which the old Union had c
wrecked, to try the dark unknown waters t
of a mifhtv revolution. We were then $
feeling the first thrill of war, wild aod i
deep ; now we have grown old in its expe- 1
riences. Just one year aco this blessed j
day, we were beneath far-off Southern skies, ?
with long-familiar faces around us; now?
and how many thousands are like us?? <
many, many, long miles lie between us ? (
We stand upon the watch tower between j
two great contending hosts ; one struggling t
for national existence aod dominion, the (
other for national independence and liber j
I
The purposes of this war are not more 1
different than the means en/ployed by the <
two foes for its successful prosecution.? f
The recommendation of Cameron to liberare ?
and arm slaves?Lincoln's opposition to it, s
not becane it was wrong in principle, but t
only because it was "ill-timed and, in
expedient"?and Kansas Lane's recent j
speech iu Congress.* stating that the Nor
them army wanted an animating purpose
to the war. and recommending the inscription.
Freedom," as a watchword on their
banners, to inspire them with enthusiasm t
in the fell conflict?these signs of the
times, not to mention the treatment of oar
privateers as pirates, the tyrannous arrest
of men, women and children, and the seizure
of our commissioners on board a neu
tral vessel in neutral waters, prove that the
demented Yankees are ready to employ
every unholy and illegal means to achieve
their purposes. On the other hand, our
administration has been marked by all the
moderation that was consistent with vigor
and safety. The course of our government
towards Kentucky and Maryland is as magnanimous
as just. The President in his
message said that he would regard it one of
the greatest successes of Southern arms, if
the occupation of Kentucky would secure
to the people of the State the right of peaceably
and undisturbedly choosing for themselves
on which side they will cast their
destiny. So, the resolutions of our Congress,
declaring that Maryland has been
prevented from making a choice only by
military occupation and a "reign of terror"
whinh has dethroned her government; and
resolving that this war ought not to be closed
except on conditions securing to that
State the peaceable right of choice, are as
true to principles involved in this contest,
as they are generous to the land of "American
exiles."
Yet, with all the fancied advantages of
irregular and lawless war fare on their part,
and with the moderation and humanity of
the Confederacy?with millions of men,
money and arms, to strike a "discontented
faction" and destroy a few "nests of treason"?the
invaders have nowhere been able
to acquire a very strong foothold on Southern
soil. Five months ago they were met
and scattered to the winds. Now. after
having for months been invited, goaded,
to action, even the fair skies and warm
days of this remarkable season, could not
draw the vermin out of their holes. We
met and routed them disastrously at Leesburg;
they fled beyond the river, and
would not return to wipe out the stain.?
They whipt ns at Dranesville, and held the
Seld; yet, the next, day, when we went six
miles beyond the battle ground to find them,
? m. |
they had disappeared entirely J'ney seem
Jetermined not tn give us a fair general
ight on this line. Here we are now on a
aioket-post within twenty miles of their ,
japital, with no signs of any one to "molest
>r make us afraid."
This duty of picketing on the Out Posts i
3 pleasaDt and romantic, when the weather j
s good, though, when bad, it subjects us I
o great exposure. Our post, for instance, i
s at a family grave-yard ; we have a large I
sedar to shield us from the dew ; and the
lead leaves, sear grasp and trailing ivy plan- i
?d by living hands over the dear departed, ,

leat stone wall; has clung atid climbed ton

'estoons without. It has climbed the ce- i
lar, and three little decaying apple trees, i
ind robed them in a garment of deep-greeo <
eaves. A few shrubs of box-wood have i
)een planted ; and a short meandering path
eads from the gate to three or four graves h

inclosing the tombs, and guarding us in j
sase of a surprise by the enemy. jl

WAB CORRESPONDENCE.
Camp Pemberton, S. C., 1
January 4, 1862. j
Messrs. Editors:?Being incapacitated
for aotaal service, produoed by fatigue and
exposure from an excursionary visit upon
one of the adjacent islands in this vicinity,
in order tointercept some of the marauding
minions of Lincoln, I have concluded to
give you a few incidents connected with
the engagement which occurred on Wednesday
last, between our forces and the enemy.
On Wednesday last, being the first
of the month and the year, heavy cannonading
was beard, proceeding from several
points along the river, whioh soon embodied
itself into a forward demonstration upon
the part of the Yankees, conveyed to us by
the arrival of a courier with intelligence of
the enemy's landing, both at and near Port
Royal Ferry, in force, some six or seven
thousand strong.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnes, Colonel Dunovant
being absent, with his usual promptness
and dispatch, was in his saddle, and at
the front of a detachment of four companies
from the 12th regiment, viz: Compaoy
A, Captain McCorkle; Company B, Captain
Miller; Company G, Lieut. Moody
in command, and Company I, Lieutenant
Campbell commanding, numbering, in the
entire, 200 meo, leaving the three remaining
companies, the "Indian Land
Guards" included, in reserve, to assist either
the detachment of Col Barnes, or that of
Major Jones, previously stationed at Page's
Point, as the exigencies of the contest
might require. Scarcely had Col. Barnes
formed his gallant and eager little band in
moving order, before the arrival of another
courier, bearing the intelligence that Col
Jones' Regiment, stationed seven miles be
low us, would engage the enemy in ten
minutes.
This information imparted a fresh impetus
to his command, who double quicked
for such a time and distance, only to be ascribed
to their indomitable will and determi
nation in the exhibition of such powers of
endurance. Before reaching Col Jones',
position, some distance beyond this encamp
meot, from information received from a
courier, Colonel Barnes was induced to
change direction, and filed off with admirable
celerity to the right of Col. Jones'
encampment, in aD open field. . The position
selected by Colonel Barnes evidenced
the careful attention which he has given to
altitude and depression of localities, as well
as consummate maneuvering. He was ably
sustained by Adjutant Tally, who rendered
him valuable assistance throughout
the entire disposition of the force. In conformity
with orders, Cuptaiu Miller seleoted
three of his men for reconnoiteriog purpo
ses and advanced with them, and remained
in a very unpleasant proximity of
the enemy, until, diviniug their cunning
- orlnija^ nrifh thn !
purpuat;, iciuiucu, oufi^u ????v ,
mander, and rejoined the company. The
snemy were not loop in executing his nonactions,
although outirely ignorant of the
whereabouts of the detachment of the 12tb
?their purpose being to flank Col. Jones?
rnd would doubtless have succeeded, had it
not been for the promptness of Colonel
Barnes. Upon the order of "charge" being
?iven by Colonel Barnes. every man sprang
porward and with a yell charged upon the
insolent foe. Before our gallaut boya could
level their pieces, the Yankees were scampering
at full speed in admirable confusion
:o their gun boat<. After they had got
jnder the protection of these boats, they
returned our fire, wounding one man !d
Company I, and another in Company G.
Our force was then conducted some dis:ance
to the right, nearer the river. Here
igain our forces encountered the enemy and
jhargcd upon them, and precipitated them
0 their boats. When our forces had rerained
their position and formed a line of
5atfle, Co! Jones' and Col. Moore's Regiuents
(#th Tennessee) were discovered advancing
across the field in the rear of our
'orce. As soon as Col. Jones came up he I
kssumed command, and gave the command
'forward " Our forces had advanced but
1 few paceB, when the Yankees commenced
iheir favorite game of shelling. Our for;es
were within 150 yards of one of their
run boats bearing directly upon our front.
Uol. Juooa promptly ordered a retreat ?
The first three shells fell harmless-?the
i?*xt coursed down the line of the coluuio,
xploding about the centre, killing three
ind wounding three more, who we have
reeo informed, have since died. They
were all of Col Jones' Regiment But
or this unfortunate shell, and the bursting
?f another, killing Private Vallandingham,
)f Company I, we would have suffered no
os3. We retreated about three miles, the
'Yankee braves" shelling us at a fearful
rate, their halls nassint? hirrh over our heads
, r o ri ~
ind exploding in the distance. It was by
this time night, and the welcome command
'halt," was extended along the line, our
Forces filed off into the woods, struck camp
ares, and soon many a tired and hungry
soldier had forgotten the fatigue and danger
)f the day, in the sweet oblivion of sleep.
the succeeding day, onr forces returned
:o the encampment, the Yankees having all
etreated to their boats.
The gallant bearing of Co! Barnes was
:onspicuous throughout the entire cngageuent.
His coolness and utter disregard of
jersonal danger, elicited the highest and .
nerited encomiums from the soldiers under
lis command. The conduct of Adjutant- !
rally was not less commendable; his rich (
,nd full voice could be easily discernet^a- t
nidst the roar of the artillery and peals of (
uusketry. ('apt. McCorkle's coolness and f
matured judgment rendered bim very effi- 1
cient upon the field of battle, and he was p
well sustained by his Lieutenants, Grist, p
Parker and Witherspoon, who fully main- u
tained the reputation conceded to them, s<
both by the company and regiment. Capt.
Miller, in daring and fearless style peouliar fi
to himself, led his men to the oharge. He o
greatly distinguished himself for self-pos- e
session and utter disregard of danger, q
though constantly exposed wherever the p
battle raged fiercest. His oompany very v
justly have unbounded confidence in bis f
bravery. Lieutenants Bigham and Press- 1
ley demeaned themselves with great gal- I
lantry in the hour of danger, and were ever v
present to execute the commands of their b
chivalrous Captain. Lieut. Campbell com- *
manding Company I, who, it will be remem- r
bered, is a gallant son of York, was con- c
stantly up to the mark of duty, and clearly t
proved himself an efficient officer. Lieut.
Moody in command of Company G, acquit- v
ted himself in a handsome manner, and e
sustained the well earued reputation of the (
Mountain boys, for their fighting qualities. s
Many non-commissioned officers and pri. <
vates performed deeds worthy of lasting J
remembrance, but where all done well it ]
would seem invidious to make distinctions. ,
M. A. MOORE. j
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. *
Dear Enquirer:?Your promised correspondent
has finally (through the interposition
of Providence) undertaken to give
you a word in regard to the "Carolina Rifles,"
although you may find in his commu- (
nication more in regard to himself than the
noble company for which he has promised
to write.
The "Rifles," after the usual heart-burn- J
ings and parting regrets, left their loved
homes?town?district and friends, and
with as much cheerfulness as was possible
under the circumstances, went forth to 1
meet the ruthless invader who had dared
? l(
to set foot on the soil ot tneir native orate.
A pleasant ride brought them to our
beautiful capitol, where they were met at '
the Depot, and escorted to their encamp- (
ment by the "Indian Land Tigers," anoth- 1
er noble company from Old York, who had 1
preceded them. Arriving at the camp f
they found their tents had been pitched by 1
the same generous company, a kindness '
long to be remdtbbered. The Rifles then 1
[opened their provision boxes and oharged f
upon their three days rations for the first *
time, when, with eating, joking, and pre- 1
paring their soldier oouohes, the hour for *
tattoo soon oame round, and then throwing I
themselves upon their humble beds the first *
day and night of soldier life was soon pass
ed The morniog dawned, and as soon as c
all necessary preparations were made, the "
"Carolina Rifles" were made over to the c
Southern Confederacy, and we now belong t
to Uncle Jeff, and the Confederate States, *
since which event everything has gone on c
harmoniously and pleasantly. The CQitin- v
ual pouring in of soldiers from the various
Districts soon rendered it necessary that we f
should leave the pleasant and delightful d
camp at "College Green," and seek one c
where more ample room could be had.? I
The orders were given, and with feelings t
of regret we prepared to leave. I say with F
feelings of regret, for it was so, for we knew E
that when removed, that our dress parades ^
would beoome as irksome as our oompany 0
drills, from the fact that lovely woman ri
would not be present to cheer and urge us
on, as was the case every evening at "Col
lege Green." But orders mast be obeyed n
?we must leave?the remembrance of the J
past has much to do with the future?thus n
we philosophized?took heart, and with as ^
good grace as we could muster of a rainy o
day, took up the line )f maroh for "Camp ?
Hampton," four miles below Columbia, a
where from 10 o'clock a. m., until 4 o'clock
p. in , we onjoyed the soldier romance of
standing in a continual rain, without shel- h
ter of any kind, save the foliage of the long p
leaf pine But a brighter day will ducn, tl
the morrow came?with it the sun?with [
it our wooted cheerfulness, and soon anoth- a
er local attachment sprang up, and "Camp fl
Hampton" seemed the "dearest spot on
earth save home." At Camp Hampton our
company improved rapidly in drill; we
there heard of the great fire in Charleston, ^
aod I must say every one seemed anxioes 0
to go at once to the city, as we at Grst sup ir
posed it to be the work of the Yankees.? ^
We now began to receive itoms of threatening
news from our coast, and events warned S(
us to organize into a Regiment, and we ft
have been fortunate to secure one by com- g
panics voluntarily concentrating, and still ^
uiorc fortunate to secure as our Colonel, Ez
' ai
Gov. J. H. Means, a man whom we are ft
sure is not after ambition or place, having ci
already reached the summit in our glorious w
little State, and we all feel from the facts
of his past position, and present age, that p.
nought but motives of the purest patriotism r(
have urged him to become our leader; and S(
I was going to say that every man in the J*'
Regiment would imbibe the same spirit, ^
and stand or fall by him, but I shall reserve
the assertion to be vindicated by our rn
future actions, firmly believing it will be the t1
case. F. W. McMaster, Esq., and Julius ^
Mills were elected Lt. Colonel, and Major
respectively; they will make officers high ti
ly acceptible, and now have a strong hold
upon the feelings of the men composing the
Regiment.
Immediately upon our formation into a j?(
Regiment, we were ordered to report to ft]
jeneral Ripley, in Charleston.. An extra is
rain was provided for us, and on the 19th ta
>f December, 1861, we left Camp Hampton
'or the threatened metropolis #f our State.
IVe left with mingled feelings of regret and ry
leasure, regret, that we were leaving many
leasant associations j jileasure, that we ,
rere drawing near to that enemy who is 1
seking to rain and enslave ns.
We reached Charleston just after'night
ill, qaite a orowd of woolen, children and
Id men greeted oar arrival with numerous
xpression of gratitude j one old lady en
aired of us where we were from, the rely
was "from the mountains !" She inoked
a very pious blessing upon the "men
rom the mountains," and we passed on.?
'he people of Charleston have the new
height Depot of the S. C. R R. fitted up
ery nicely, and refreshments, such as
read and coffee, prepared for all troops
rho arrive there, or who may be in the city
tnable to prooure them elsewhere. It is
tarried on in the best possible style, under
he superintendence of Prof. Holmes.
Here yoar correspondent's intercourse
vifch the 17th regiment, is aboatto be endid
for a while; he had felt an well on leaving
3amp Hampton, and having received an
ippointment from the Colonel, which required
him to exert himself to aoonsidera>le
degree, wheo he arrived at Camp
Lee, (the new camp of oar regiment,) he
vas completely exhausted, and after "tougfT
ng it oat" in his tent for two days, the earjeon
considered it beat to remove to the
Home Hospital, an institution directly nnler
the patronage of the ladies of Charles:on,
or u society of ladies of which Mrs.
L Chapin is President This hospital is
jne which is entirely free from all the ter ors
of the customary hospitals. I had aslooiated
in my mind ideas quite different
toui the reality, as I found it there. The
greatest attention is giveu to providing the,
jest attendants and nurses, while all throagh
;he day the ladies are continually goin^,
Tom room to room like ministering angels,
ind everything a poor soldier could need or
vish, for his comfort and health, is proyiled
cheerfully and promptly
Hundreds of poor soldiers from eveiy
joiut of the compass, will bless the efforts
if these noble ladies, and reoount their
liaDy acts of kindness to succeeding generations
Your correspondent, when he conlented
to go to the hospital, had no expeo
ation of remaining longer than a day or
,wo, thinking that his case was nothing
nore than a severe attack of cold ; bat &
ilow and continued fever seized him and
ihreatened a very serious termination. It
a here that he was made sensible of the
ixiatenoe of true philanthropy?of that
)rimeval virtue, whioh, in this latter day,
>Q8 degenerated in so great a degree.
When his room became in the least
irowded, and at a time when quiet was eeential'y
necessary to a happy termination
tf his disease, a carriage was brought, and
ic was conveyed to a pleasant room in a private
house, where every attention which
lould be given of desired by a sick man,
vas given and granted.
Under such attention and kindness, the
ever was soon broken, and the baffled sollier
was allowed to walk forth in convalesence.
The name of the family to whom
am indebted for so mucli kindness, I for>ear
to give, knowing the aot was alone
irompted by Christian feelings, whioh with
lurnerouu like acts will not go unrewarded
lereafter; but will add stars to the crown
f rejoicing, wheo we shall all hear of wars
10 more.
I mast be pardoned, however, for menioning
the names of some who have shown
:ie acts of special kinduess, such as Dr.
R Mood, Mr. L. Chapio and his estimable
lady, Miss Georgia Moore, Miss M.
\ Brodie, and numerous others whose
ames I cannot now recall; but whose faces
nd kind deeds I shall long remember. To
11 1 would say
"*Vlmt; can I pay thca for thin noble uaage,
Hut grateful praise ! Ah Heaven itself W paid."
Dear Enquirer, I must now bring my
urriedly written letter to a close, and beg
ardon for trespassing so much longer on
ic time of your readers than I intended.

and assist in expelling from our shores

Meeeting of French Citizens.
New Orleans, Jan. 12.?A meeting
of Frenchmen was held yesterday,
when it was resolved, by consent of the
French Consul and approved by Secretary
Seward, to send a delegate by the
French steamer Milan to Havana, and
charter there a vessel which will come
and take to France such subjects of
that Government as desire to go, owing
to the disturbed state of the country.
The St. Louis Democrat of the
