We must have the cash 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.

The Publisher of the Enouirer returns
his grateful thanks to Lieut. J.
H. Bigham, of the 12th Regiment, S.
C. Volunteers, for a list of 28 subscribers.
Where will the next list come
from? We hope the example may be
followed up, for many of our Yorkites
are in the Army. Do not forget us, for
we are doing the best we can.
"gone home."
On Sunday last, Mr. James Adams,
of this District, reached here on the
cars, with the remains of his son, RobT.onmW
Adams, who had removed
to Texas some time since, where he volunteered
among the first to go to Virginia.
He was about 30 years of age.
The corpse of Mr. Peeler, late of
Capt. Jackson's Company, from this
District, now in Virginia, was brought
home on the 20th instant. We deeply
sympathise with the friends and relatives
of the deceased. It was God's
providence they should die in the defence
of their country. They have
fought the good fight?and gone we
hope, to a glorious reward.
Capture of Romney.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury, writing from Richmond, the (
17th inst., gives the following item rela- :
tive to the capture of Romney : 1
Capt. Mercer Jordan, a brother of
Beauregard's Adjutant, brought down <
yesterday twenty prisoners taken at j
jBath and Romney. He tells me the
Yankees left an immense amount of '
stores at Romney, which they evacuated 1
last Friday night, under the belief that 1
Jaekson had surrounded them. One <
item alone was from 3,000 to 5,000 bar- ,
rels of flour. We also took more plunder
at Bath than was supposed?a good ^
deal more than we could carry away.? f
We had to leave nearly 300 barrels of .
whiskey, and large quantities of sugar, (
salt and coffee. The prisoners taken ,
are mostly from Illinois. They say
there will be no more fighting, it's no 1
use. The news of the evacuation was 1
brought by three deserters, who came
to Captain Sheets, of the Hampshire
Troop (men originally rich, all of them,
now. poor by Yankee plundering, who
have done as much service as a regiment,
for +hoy are fighting for their
homes and all they have in the world)
and the town was occupied by sixteen of
his men, within twenty minutes after
the Yankees left. We made a clear
sweep -got 300 tents, all the muster )
rolls, consolidated reports, everything ^
?it was a perfect stampede.
/EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ^
/ Camp Near Okstrkvilm!, Fairfax. Va., \ j
' Wodueoday Night, January 15,1862. \ ~
Dear Enquirer:?We hasten to record
a brilliant victory gained by the {
indefatigable and glorious "Stone-Wall" ^
Jackson a few days since, over the en- 1
emy under their "crack" General Lan- 1
der, at Roraney. You have doubtless 1
seen accounts of the skirmish at Bath, 1
and the shelling of Hancock, Maryland. <
These acts were a portion of the sue- 1
cessful stratagem by which the Hessians 1
have fallen an easy prey to our "Young 1
Hickoryand eventually lost, we hope,
their foothold in the Shenandoah val- 1
ley. 1
To be explicit, Gen. Jackson some
ten or twelve days ago conceived the i
idea of driving Lander from Romney. :
For this purpose, he' advanced towards
Romney until he had arrived nearly at
Bath, when he turned aside, made the '
attacks upon Bath and Hancock, inarched
thirty miles into Maryland ; then
turning round, came upon Romney inthe
rear, caught the Yankees napping,
fell upon them and smote them "hip and
thigh," killing a large number, taking
a thousand prisoners, and capturing a
million dollars worth of property! You
may regard this joyous news as reliable
; for we have ju-t received it from
Dr. Harrolds, chaplain of the first Virginia,
who had it from the lips of Adjt.
Gen-Cooper himself, who stated that a
portion of the property had gone on to
Richmond.
-i.When we reflect that this splendid
achievement has been effected in mid
Winter, with a force which must have
been inferior to that of the enemy, and
after a march which could not have
been much less than one hundred and
fifty miles, during which the frozen Potomac
was .Tossed twice, we recur for a
parallel at once to the glorious field of
"Trenton in the Old Revolution. With
U scanty supply of blankets ''the papers
say they were without blankets) and
jvith no tents, the boys bivouaced on
the snow at night, and marched all day,
"it ? said, with unbounded cheerfulness
and alacrity.
The enemy was completely surprised
and routed. His lo$5%as, therefore,
great, while our's was trifling. The
news is however too fresh for particulars
to have reached us. We are not
informed even of the day of the battle.
- Gen, Jackson in this splendid manoeuvre
and surprise, has added new
laurels to his already enviable reputation.
We are impressed with the notion
that this decided service to his
country, may be the fruits of his personal
piety. During the Summer,
while his Head Quarters were at Mrs.
Utterbach's near here, he was known
to retire daily td his room, for the purposes
of reading the bible and private
devotion. While his Head Quarters
? r nt. . t ,1 1 __ _o
were at Mr. ?tuart s?tne present, 01fice
of Gen. Beauregard?Mr. Stuart
having occasion to enter His room oiRT
day, found his bible spread open upon
a table, and the general in one corner
upon his knees. Who knows but that,
in some moment when his pure and lofty
soul was kindled with sacred fire
froih the altar of prayer, he conceived
the daring enterprise ? And who can
tell that the Providence which broods
with out spread wings over those whose
"ways please God," did not lead to the
triumphant issue ? There are things in
Heaven and earth?things useful, too,
in war as well as peace?which were
never dreamed of in Hardee, or Macomb,
or even in the "Army Regulations."
It is a pleasing task to speak of such
facts as these, in connection with our
officers; and we will, therefore, mention
a little circumstance, that pleased us
very much, which occurred with Gen.
Johnston the other day. An ambulance,
carrying some sick soldiers and
their knapsacks, was passing along the
extremely muddy streets of Centreville.
One of the knapsacks was jostled out,
and tumble^ into the mud; when the
kind general, perceiving it, quietly wa^
* * ? l .1 j
ded into tne siusn, replaced tne Knapsack
in the ambulance, and resumed his
walk, -without saying a word, or letting
the invalids know even what he had
done. Such trivial acts often evince
more real greatness, than those grand
deeds which require a world-wide fame.
If the Yankee papers may be believed,
"the rebellion is to be crushed out
In ninety days." By the 25th instant,
ill their generals will be ready, and
their advances will be made down the
:he Mississippi, upon Bowling Green,
>n the coast of Texas, from Ship Islmd,
at Port Royal and in rear of Norfolk
; while McClellan will slowly but
rnrely press his invincible columns upon
Manassas ! This simultaneous advance
jvery where, is to crush "treason,"
ike an egg-shell in a giant's grasp. All
;his is quite modest and becoming after
;he Trent humiliation. A people who
jan bluster as they did in this affair,
ind then back down as ignominiously
is they did?giving up in their scare
ill they gained by the capture, yet conjeding
nothing to England for the out- '
age; such a people, bray them in a
nortar, will be foolish still.
Our generals appear to be looking
'ir n (rrarxl rtvor tliPCA ulilfiVlv
-oads and fields still. We heard tolay
that an attack upon Winchester, (
3ccoquan ar.d Fredericksburg, at the .
name time, is expected at an early day. ,
rhis may be, but it appears unreasonable
to us. The truth would seem to
5e, that McClellan is desirous of holding
this army here, while he operates
)n the Southern coast. These specious
ippearances of a general fight, have,
ilso, a tendency to prevent the re-organization
of the twelve months volunteers
into war troops under the provisions
of the Bounty or Furlough Bill;
md so far to disturb the army which
McClellan will have to meet next
Spring when he does intend to advance
in our opinion.
It is highly important that this army
should be one solid wall of war-troops,
at the opening of the next campaign.
Nothing can induce McClellan to risk
his fortunes and his cause on these snowclad
plains, but a serious and extensive
effort to gain this important end. If
large numbers of the twelve-months
volunteers should re-enlist for the war
here, and be furloughed home at the
same time, he might come out, even
through these snows, with the hope of
overcoming our fragmentary army.?
Unlessthis be the case, he will wait a
few months, both for fairer skies and
firmer roads, and in order to meet our
forces in the same fragmentary condition
; when the one year troops begin
to receive discharges, and return home.
-r? . i r _ :ii l : 1
out we nope ne wm ue egregiousiy mistaken,
if he thinks that our high-blooded
and patriotic boys will imitate their
three-months hirelings ; and turn their
backs upon his bristling columns of bayonets,
advancing to lay waste their own
altars and firesides, and murder their
loved ones.
We are still out of our huts, though
many regiments have been housed up
a month or so. It snows whenever it
pleases-the weather is cold and disagreeable?and
tents are mere apologies
for shelter from the rain, snow, sleet
and wintry blast. We were amused the
other night after lying down, when a
good friend of "Mess No. 1," who had
pinned our well-windowed tent from
prow to stern, said with an evident air of
satisfaction: "Well, she's safe as a
coon in the hollow with the holestopt."
But "Robin Red-breast" was unlucky,
for hewas not ensconced in his blankets,
before the falling snow was settling on
his feet.
There is now a perfect slush under
foot. It rained a heavy shower to-day;
but the mixed snow and sleet on the
ground was melted only enough to
make it completely uncomfortable.?
We feel for "Stone-wall's" gallant boys
wherever they are. The battle they
are fighting to-night with the wet frozen
earth, and the icy winds, will be an un"RnmnATr."
Tn view of their
heroic deeds, we close.
Bravo-ly
OUR COCPORAL.

CAMP QUITMAN.
Messrs. Editors :?Whatever concerns
the 12th Regiment, S. C. V., is,
I am persuaded, of peculiar interest to
the Districts from which it comes. It
so happened that this regiment was represented
only by four companies in the
battle of the first of January, at Port
Royal Ferry, to wit: Capts. McCorkle's
and Miller's, of York, Capt. Vallandigham's,
of Lancast^h, (Lieut. Campbell
commanding) and Capt. Moody's,
of Pickens. These companies were
under the command of Lieut. Colonel
Barnes. How well both officers and
men acquitted themselves, is known to
the country. They all did their whole
duty, and did it in the most gallant
style. York, Pickens and Lancaster
have reason to be proud of their sons
on this occasion. I might pause to
speak in equal commendation of the
14th Regiment, Col. Jones, and of Col.
Martin's command, but this would be apart
from the object of this communication.
T ' 1 1 1 xl. _ X
it is not Known now it was mat oniy
a part of the 12th Regiment was present
at the fight. This I propose to explain.
It will be understood that the
enemy first appeared in their b<)ats off
Page's Point, and commenced their attack
by a heavy bombardment at that
place. Three companies of the 12th
Regiment, to wit: Captain Bookter's,
of Richland, Captain Clyburn's, of
Lancaster, and Captain Davis', of Fairfield,
and also one section of Captain
Leak's Virginia battery, were stationed
at Page's Point. Very soon after the
cannonading commenced at this place,
General Pemberton arrived at the camp
of the 12th Regiment. He immediately
dispatched Major Jones to Page's
Point, to take command of the forces
there. About this time the enemy appeared
off Port Royal Ferry and commenced
an attack at that place also,
when the four companies first mentioned
were ordered by the General to advance
towards the ferry, under command
of Lieut. Col. Barnes. The remaining
three companies were held at
camp as a reserve, it being half-way
?round between the Ferry and Page's
?
Point, and it being uncertain at which
place the enemy would first attempt a
landing. No attempt to land was made
at Page's Point, but it was constantly
threatened during the day, therefore, it
was that these three companies were not
ordered forward in that direction; and
the enemy were so soon driven back
under cover of their boats at the ferry,
that there was no occasion for ordering
them to that point. If the companies
at Page's Point did no fighting, they
are not, therefore, to be passed without
remark. They kept a constant watch
upon the movements of the enemy,
which consisted of three gun boats.?
At one time they were under a heavy
bombardment from two of the enemy's
boats. This they sustained most gallantly?no
man leaving his place in
ranks, and when ordered by Major
Jones to change their position, all
moved off together in solid column.?
Fortunately the command sustained no
loss.
During the night, about three o'clock,
a detachment of fifteen men?live from
each company?under command of
Lieut. Rosborough, was sent forward
by Major Jones to burn the cotton and
corn iff Page's Point. This was a somewhat
perilous enterprise. First, because
it was in the face of the enemy's
1. i ? nnnin if /inillfl Hot }|P lfflftU'll
UUillS) a 11VI n vvum uw w .. ?
whether or how many of the enemy had
landed during the night. The cotton
and corn was all burnt, to the gratification
of all who beheld it?except the
Yankees.
Before returning to camp, a small
force was sent over to Hairs Island,
under charge of Lieut. Leak, of the
Virginia Artillery, to burn the cotton
on the plantation of John Chaplin.?
The flames soon mounted high in midair.
This brought out the enemy from
their hiding places, and produced considerable
stir among negroes and Yankees.
The presence of the latter was
acknowledged by the Major, by a few
rounds from Cunningham's Bluff, with
one of Capt. Leak's Artillery guns.?
The distance, however, was soon ascertained
to be too great, and the shelling
ceased.
This much I have thought due to
those who, if they were not in the fight,
were assigned to other and important
duties by order of their commanding
General. . YORK.

Small Pox.
By the following extract of a letter
eceived by the editor last evening, it
ippears that the Yankees, having pro- (
eased to give protection at Hilton Head,
vhile they can make them work, are t
mxious to throw them oft* upon us as ,
soon as they have inoculated them with (
small pox :
"We have a scarcity of reliable news
'rom the enemy. To-day we hear a
lag of truce has reached our camp at
Port Royal, from the commander to
Jen. Lee, asking the removal of the :
lundreds of negroes who are dying with (
;he small pox, and whom he can neither
shelter, feed nor nurse. Alas! what j
i commentary upon Yankee philanthro- <
>y! It is to be hoped our General will .
lot permit these hordes of diseased creaures
to return to our healthy camp, '
ind thus entail on us the evils and nui- j
lances that make the Yankees shrink*
rom with horror. I
"We also learn that some seventy ,

ill whether these runaways ought to be

Important to Patentees.
The Richmond Examiner learns that .
i bill haB been introduced into Con- 1
;ress, from the committee on patents in 1
hat body, to amend' the act establish- i
ng the Patent office, and to secure to
itizens of the Confederate States whatsver
right or interest they may have in 1
Id United States patents. The bill 1
irovides for the full revival of United
States patents issued to any person now
i citizen of the Confederate States, or
?ho shall hereafter become so by the '
iccession of new States or territories.
The provisions of the bill, with refer- (
mce to the important subject of assign-,.
nents, recognizes, as valid all assign-!1
nents of patent rights made to citizens '
>f the Confederate States prior to the '
[7th day of April, 1861, provided that I
he assignments be recorded in the Patsnt
Office six months after the terminaion
of the existing war. 1

Another Fleet for the South.? ]
The Yankees are fitting out another i
leet for the South. It is to be called
he "Mortar Fleet." A late N. York <
japer says: , 1
The "Mortar Flotilla" is progressing
apidly. Four vessels?the Racer,
jrriffiths, S. B. Williams and Boreas?
lave their armament, a mortar and two
ong 32-pounders, on board. The flo;illa,
which is under command of Com- 1
nodore D. D. Porter, is divided into '
;hree divisions, respectiyely commanled
by Lieuts. Watson Smith, Walton
IV. Owen and K. Randolph Breeze. 1
The second division, under Lieut,
i^ueen, will sail shortly. It is to consist
of seven vessels, five of which are

cne day in seven, as a day of rest, is
generally, if not universally, admitted
by the people of this Confederacy.?
14The Sabbath was made for man," and
is essential to the developement and
maintenance of his physical and intellectual
powers, to the cultivation of his
moral qualities, and to the attainment
jf the highest ends of his existence.
This truth being recognized in the
legislation both of our State and Confederate
Government, and also the fact
that the observance of the day is enjoined
by divine authority; that which requires
the conveyance and delivery of the
mail on that day constitutes an exception
to the general law and usage. For
this exception in the humble opinion of
jrour petitioners, a sufficient reason does
not exists, especially since the invention,
and general employment of the
electric telegraph. If the country derives
any advantage from its Sabbath
mails, we think that advantage more
than counterbalanced by the evils attending
them. They make additional
expense to the Government. They not
enly deprive Postmasters and mail-car
<1 ? A 1 -1 it . 1 _/
ners 01 inai resi wnicn me law 01 nature
requires, and that religious culture
which is necessary to make them good
citizens even, not to speak of their
higher interests and relations, but they
necessitate the running of coaches and
rail road cars on that day, by which
many are tempted to travel abroad, the
minds of others are diverted from profitable
mediations, religious worship is
iisturbed, and the day is secularized.
But besides these and other evil effects
of a Sabbath mail, we deprecate
its continuance as a public violation of
in acknowledged law of the Supreme
Ruler, on whose favor we depend for
national as well as individual prosperity.
j ?
We have now before-us the dissolution
of the United States Government,
vhich has ever been a persistent vioator
of the divine law in regard to the
Sabbath. We regard this as one anong
the causes that have brought disister
upon that Government. And it
s because we earnestly desire the favor
>f heaven to rest upon our Southern
[Confederacy, to establish and preserve
t, that we see seek the removal of this
ind all other causes of divine displeasure
Lgainst it, remembering who has said:
"Them that honor me I will honor."
Therefore, we hope that your honorible
body will be pleased to receive our
petition with favor, and we, as in duty
jound, will ever pray.

Wilton of York District. The deceasd was born May 1 Itn,
1845, and was eonxequentlxJn his 17th year.
When the news was first wafted to our mountain country,
that our beloved State had been invaded, the subject of thh
notice determined to be among the first who should rally to
Tier support. Following his father, he volunteered in th"Carolina
Rifles," Capt. Wilson, attached to the 17th Reg
iment, S. C. V. While in "Camp Lee" near Charleston,
he was attacked with measles, and in endeavoring to get ti
his home, became exposed, which resulted fatally. Before
his death be gave to friends around, ample assurance of hifuture
home?a borne where wars and rumors of wars arr
heard no more. Thus has the wickedness of Northern fa
naticism added still another to the thousands of brav>
spirits who sleep the sleep of death. L.
