FIRE!
The quiet of our village was disturbed
about 12 o'clock on Sunday night last,
by the unusual cry of fire, which was
found to proceed from a kitchen of one
of the residences belonging to the Kings
Mountain Rail Road Company, occupied
by Mrs. Eldridge and Mr. Shirer's
families, late of Charleston. It occurred
through the carelessness of a negro
who was necessarily up at a late hour,
- w * '
and three bureaus, and a wardroDe, containing
nearly all the wearing apparel
&c., of the parties, was burned. The
loss, we regret to learn, is a severe one,
being at least $1000. The building
was probably not worth more than
$150.
FIGHT AT BICHMOND.
By reference to the proper head, it
will be seen that the great battle of
Richmond has commenced, and was
still undecided at last accounts?if we
do not get further by the latest mail
for which we shall keep open. The following
is a list of the killed and wounded
of Col. Jenkins' regiment as far as
heard from. Mr. Hackett is since reported
dead:
Capt. I. N. Withers, George Garnett,
Joseph W. Carroll, Daniel Carroll,
James Black, T. C. Williams, W.
K. Hackett, wounded severely; J. J.
Coward, Edward Rose, Foster G. Jefferys,
M. T. Hall, P. Barron, J. McKnight,

AIli3on, A. jumasey, Jjieut. i^rosoy,
James M. Adams, slightly; Col. Jack
Giles, Capt. Gaston, killed.
It is thus seen that York has suffered
terribly, and yet all is not told.
The land is full of mourning?God
grant the sacrifice on our part may
not have proved in vain.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Neax Dxurt'3 Bluff* on the James, Viroixia, )
Saturday, May 24, 1662. )
Bear JSnquirer :?We are hivouacing
now on our picket lines, in full view of
the James river, which is only half a
mile or so ahead of us. It is some 6
or eight miles to Richmond by road;
but the river is so crooked and winding
in its course, that the gunboats could
not reach the city in less than 15 or 20
miles. We have a formidable land battery
at Drury's Bluff, the engagement
between which and the enemy's gunboats
recently, you must have heard of
before this time. Rifle-pits have been
constructed along the banks for the
protectiofi - <af ?krp6no<jt*fs,~
proved very serviceable in the Dnirv'.-'i11
Bluff engagement. TKa, obstructions
on file river begin near here. Friday,
we believe, was the day fixed for their
completion ; and Richmond is now said
to be inapproachable by the river. But
the work of fortifying the stream is still
going on; and strong floating batteries,
after the fashion somewhrft of Steven's
a! ?/I knUAMTT l'n wn/lnrtfiArv
XIVU UidrU UaHWJTj uo^u in tnv xyuuvvwu
of Fort Sumter, are being completed
with great energy and rapidity. We
again assure you that it is the fixed purpose
to defend Richmond to the last extremity.
From our diminished sources of information,
and the remote point of view
which we occupy, we have been unable
to grasp the designs of the enemy.?
Everything with us in regard to their
intentions, is mere speculation. Since
the Drury's Bluff affair, and the capture
of some 18, the killing of 8 and the
wounding of one of the Monitor's crew,
8 or 10 days ago, they have been very
quiet on the river and our right wing;
only shelling occasionally our pickets
and forage wagons a few miles below
here.
During this time they have slight demonstrations
in front of our centre and
left wing. Squads of their Cavalry
have been seen in the neighborhood of
"Old Church" and Hanover C. H. ;
apparently reconnoitring to ascertain
our strength and position. Heavy cannonading
is heard in the direction of
Hanover C. H. to-day. We are inclined
to suspect that the first effort of
the foe in the reduction of Richmond,
will be to seize the Fredericksburg and
/-I - . 1 T> M 3 _ 3
Uenrrai xvauroaus ? prvuauiy uy a
movement upon Hanover Junction,
where the roads intersect?in order to
force a retirement from Fredericksburg,
as well as to cut off communication with
Stonewall Jackson; and the canonading
heard to-day, may announce the opening
of the struggle for this important
point. This hitherto unnoticed and upknown
place has, in our opinion, been
rendered by the manoeuvers of the campaign,
tha key of Charlottsville, Staunton
and the whole of the Shenandoah
valley. Its possession would enable
the Federals to rapidly extend their
right wing along the Rapidan, to and
even beyond the mountains ; Jackson
would be forced to fall back from Lynch
burg, if not in rear of the James river;
and this would open the way for a regular
investment of Richmond, which is
quite as likely to decide its fate as
pitched battles.
Even while writing this last paragraph,
the news has reached us that
there was a skirmish near Hanover
Junction day before yesterday; and
that a great battle is going on there today.
We cannot vouch for the reliability
of this news; but the cannonading
is circumstantial evidence of its
truthfulness ; and the above reasoning
renders it worthy of some credence.?
The day is chill and rainy?an exact
type of the day at Williamsburg. If
we prove decidedly victorious?which
God grant!?it is said that we are favorably
situated to bag any number of
prisoners; and the victory, with such
results, might materially change the
character of the whole Summer campaign
here. MILES.

Monday, May 26,1862. )
Dear Enquirer .'?Reliable 'and satisfactory
accounts have failed as yet to
reach us, of the skirmishing above
Richmond on Saturday. One report
says that it was an artillery duel only,
between a battery of the Washington
Artillery of two guns, under Captain
Rosser, and a battery of six guns of
the enemy, at the head of the Mechanicsville
turnpike, not far from Lumpkin's,
and 8. or 10 miles from the city.
Capt. Rosser held them at bay for six
hours, when being wounded himself,
and failing to receive reinforcements
sent for, his guns were withdrawn from
the unequal contest. His loss was two
or three killed, and six or eight wounded
; while that of the enemy was Supposed
to be much greater. Another 1
report has it that infantry were engaged
on both sides; that we drove the enemy .
back from the Central Rail Road; and
that the 5th Louisiana Regiment was at .
one time entirely cut off, and had to 1
fight its way back to our lines, sustain- ^
ing a loss of 150 men, and bringing in j
300 prisoners with them. These are ]
merely unofficial rumors, and we give ;
them only from the entire want of any j
satisfactory information.
Similar rumors inform us this morn- (
ing, that the enemy are throwing two 1
brigades across the long-bridge on the J
Chickahominy, and are pushing all the '
rest of their army on the Peninsula, .
upon our left wing, for the purpose of '
effecting a junction with McDowell from 1
Fredericksburg, and gaining possession 1
of the railroads above the city some
where about Hanover Junction.
"We feel that this is the time of times
for Johnston to strike McClellan a blow
that might prove decisive of his fate. :
His position is just the same as that of .
Sydney Johnston and Beauregard at (
Shiloh?the same as "Wellington's at
Waterloo. Grant was looking for Buell;
Napoleon hourly expected Blucher
at Waterloo; and McDowell is ready
and able to rush to the succour of Mc- :
ClellajL. Whv delav until thev effect a
jvtlcwo^ Our army is at their capi- '
tal?rested?eager to meet the desolating
invader?and in the best fighting
condition. The enemy are still mobilizing?jaded?uncertain
of success, and
in fear of a rout in which they would be
harrassed and cut up, until they could
reach the cover of their gunboats at
West Point. McClellan's army this
morning occupies perhaps a line of 25
or 30 miles, while our's is crouched like
a tiger ready to pounce upon its prey.
Now is the time, beyond question. Indeed
we all anticipated that the fight
would open this morning; and are still
expecting it to begin at any moment.
Dame Rumor?we tip our hat to the
old lady tor her accommodating garrulity?reports
that Stonewall Jackson
has gained a brilliant victory at Front
Royal, near Winchester; completely
routing the enemy, capturing all they
had, and chasing them down the Valley.
We hope that this is not a Romney
canard?a Romney victory. You remember
how Adjt. Gen. Cooper told
Dr. Harrold, and Dr. Harrold told us,
all about that joyous affair; and how all
that joyous affair turned o*t to be "a
schoolboy's tale!"
We have but little idea of the force
Jackson has with him at present. His
future movements in the Valley, will
rrmoli unnn tViA defeat nr sunne&s
of the Federals here. If they succeed,
he may have to beat a hasty retreat
from the Valley. If they are badly
whipped, he may cross the Potomac before
long. When such momentous issues
are at stake, and everything is
trembling in the balance, we are naturally
eager for the developments of the
future.
McClellan is said to have an enormous
supply of large Parrot guns, with
which he can shell Richmond, if he can
plant them in four miles of it. In regular
approaches upon the city, they will
be formidable engines, affording ample
security and protection to the entrepching
parties of the enemy. Sallying
parties of sharp-shooters, in surprise
forays and night attacks, could greatly
annoy them, but would all the while be
much exposed from their advanced position.
Everything, in our opinion,
calls for Magruder's policy : "Attack
at once and Jurioualy." We have many
reasons for telling you to look for the
f
adoption of this policy. The next ten
or twenty days are pregnant with evenfs?with
the destiny of the South.
We prophecy that the 21st of July will
find us as much rejoiced as it left us last
year ; we hope, not as over-weeningly
confident and remiss in husbanding the
fruits of victory. MILES.

THE BATTLE JF RICHMOND. J
The Federal Forces Driven Back, c
Richmond, May 81.?General Hill's
Division commenced the fight this morning?Rhodes'
and Garland's Brigades
bearing the brunt of the battle for some 8
time. Reins' and Anderson's Brigades c
also bore a conspicuous part until our 1
reinforcements arrived. The enemy j3
were also reinforced, and fighting continued
with great desperation on both .
Bides. The enemy were finally driven J
from their redoubts and their own bat- f
teries were turned upon them. Prison- ^
ers taken say that Gen. Buell was in
command. 2
President Davis and General Lee ?
were on the field, and their presence I?
increased the enthusiasm of our troops.
All accounts agree that the Confedera- ?
tes displayed great bravery. TheYan- r
kees stubbornly contested every inch of ?
ground whilst giving way before the
impetuous charges of our soldiers. No c
reliable estimate of the casualties has s
yet been made. A number of the Con- T
Federates were wounded in the arm and
tiand. General Rhodes was slightly ?
wounded. No other general officer on
Dur side hurt. So far as known, the
snemy tried to make a flank movement
ibout 7 o'clock, p. m., but were repulsed \
by Whiting's Division. *
Richmond, June 1.?The battle of
yesterday took place in the vicinity of
Boar Swamp, between the railroad and I
the Williamsburg Road, about seven ,
miles from this city. The accounts of
yesterday as published are correct inthe
main.
Some cannonading has been heard ?
this morning.
Richmond, June 1.?The fight iff *
progressing furiously to-day, chiefly ar- v
tillery. No definite reports have been
received from the field of battle. The 0
general tenor of the statements of a
wounded soldiers indicate that the Con- ?
federates are following up the success
of yesterday. Prisoners are constant- ?
ly coming in. Buell was not present.
McClellan commanded in person. It is u
now believed that the larger portion of ?
the Federal army is on this side of the
creek. Gen. Hatton, of Tennessee, ,
was killed yesterday.
7 P. M.?No definite accounts have E
yet been received of the result of the f
battle to-day, but all reports concur that
the enemy are badly whipped and
driven into the swamp. The carnage ?
is dreadful on both sides. The Yankee
loss is two to one of ours. Hundreds
ofVounded are arriving. About five
hundred prisoners in all have been ta
Ken.
June 2.?All quiet along the lines to
day. The Confederate wounded are J
constantly arriving. The citizens, and
particularly the ladies, are unremitting T
in their attention to and care of the ^
wounded. It is reported that the forces
on both sides are burring their dead ?
this morning. The weather continues 1
clear.
The following despatch was received j
by Gov. Pickens : t
June 1. ?The 4th, 5th and 6th Regi- ;
ments S. C. V., Jenkins' Regiment of ,
Sharp-shooters and Hampton's Legion
were in the fight. Gen. J. Johnston
Pettigrew, and Gen. Robert Hatton, of (
Tennessee, were killed. Col. Bratton
wounded. Col. Wade Hampton has a ]
very slight wound in the foot. c
3 o'clock, p. m.?The fight is ter- t
rific. Our men are determined and we jj
are gaining ground slowly. ?
3 30 p. m.?We are driving the ene- \
my before us. Last night, we slept in j
their camp. Our' loss is heavy; the T
enemy's appalling. f
6 p. m.?We have whipped the Yan- t
kees again. The enemy are very un- <
willing to fight. Everything looks \
ehcering and most satisfactory. We <
are gathering in our reserves and will {
renew the fight to-morrow. The enemy ]
withdrew about 5 o'clock. The roads ]
and fields are impassable with mud and
mire. 1
June 2?114 p. m.?Nothing of in- .
terest has transpired to-day. It is be- i
lieved that the enemy is concentrating ,
his forces in the direction of Mechan- j
icsville, North-east of the city. The j
whole number of prisoners taken on ,
j Saturday and Sunday amounts to nve i
hundred and fifty. , ,
The following are the casualties as ;
[ far as received in the 5th South Caro- i
Una Regiment: Col. Giles believed
[killed. Calhoun, Herndon, Lieuten- |
ant Douglas, J. P. Jeter, Oxner, Lieut. <
Goss, C. L. Lee, J. F. Davis, J. L. i
Turner, wounded slightly. .
June 2.?At 1 o'clock to-day, the j
fight was not renewed, but a battle is j
I anticipated to-morrow. The fight yes- j
jterday only lasted some three to four
hours. Gen. Walker, ittis said, will be
in the fight to-morrow. Our wounded ]
are receiving every attention, and bear (
their wounds with much composure.? i
The result on land will undoubtedly be i
in our favor. No gun-boats as yet. li
Movements of the Enemy.
The intelligence from the Coast revived
Thursday morning is more full
)f interest, and begins to wear a lively
ispect. The enemy, in strong force of
lavalry, infantry and artillery, suppoled
to be between two and three thouland,
landed near Page's Point, and
tdvanced on Pocotaligo. They suc;eeded
in getting within two miles of
hat station, on the Charleston and Sarannah
Rail Road, distant about eight
niles from the Landing. Our cavalry
orces, under the command of Colonel
iVilliam S. Walker, met the enemy,
tnd hotly disputed their progress.
The disparity of the forces; however,
impelled our troops to fall back and
iwait reinforcements. In the meantime
he enemy proceeded to "Old Woods,"
tear Pocotaligo, visited the plantation
>f Mr. Daniel Heyward, and it is re>orted
dined under the oaks there. Mr.
leyward was on his way to his house,
lot knowing that the enemy had taken
lossession, when a volley of balls were
loured upon him, he being at the tim#

On the reception of the news of the
memy's advance, Gen. Pemberton made
apid preparations and extended his
>rders for sending and getting forward
einforcemcnts, and left himself for the
cene of action immediately.
Their design was, no doubt, the puling
up and destruction of a portion of
he Rail Road. Being foiled and held
n check by our Cavalry until the arrival
of reinforcenfents, they commenced
heir retrogade motion, and at six o'dock
were said to be in full retreat towards
their gunboats.
Subsequent intelligence contradicted
he report of the retreat of the enemy,
tnd a fight on Thursday night or Frilay
morning seemed probable. The
lature of the country and the spirit of
ur troops lead us to hope for our side
he most favorable result.
The forces engaged with the'enemy
n the morning consisted of the Rutedge
Mounted Riflemen, Captain Tren- 8
lolm; Hey ward Cavalry, Capt. Blake; *
our Companies of Felder's squadron f
f Cavalry, and the Charleston Light j,
)ragoons, Capt. Rutledge. Col. Wal- *
:er, commanding the Fourth and Fifth 1
dilitary Districts, arrived on the k
;round before the engagement. The 1
einforcements consisted of nine com- y
ianies of infantry, a section of the Beau- *
ort Artillery, Capt. Elliott, and three c
ompanies of Major R. J. Jeffords' 1
quadron of Cavalry. v
Major-General Pemberton, with the *
fifty-first Georgia Regiment, was also *
eported on the way, and expected to e
ake command. *
Two of the Rutledge Mounted Riflelen
are reported killed, but we hope '
his will prove to be unfounded. Col. *
Valker's horse was shot from under *

The news of an engagement in pro- ^
ress at Secessionville and Pemberton's ?
lattery, brought by a courier, Thurs- ?
ay afternoon, also created considerable ?
xcitement, which easily subsided on J1
he facts being made known. The enely

The engagement at Newtown's Cut, ?
pposite JDill's farm, was a more serious *
ffair.. The battery at this point was
mnned by Company F, Lieut. T. D. c
Vhite, of Colonel E. B. White's Pal- g
letto Battalion of Light Artillery.? y
?he enemy with three gunboats came ^
p abreast the battery, and opened fire ^
bout two o'clock at a distance of nine ^
.undred yards. ;
The engagement lasted about three 1
tours. No one was hurt on our side, s
ior the fcatl^ry injured. One of the J
nemy's gunboats was disabled, she [
laving been struck by a round shot 1
rom the battery. The crew on board a
rere observed afterwards repairing the 1
njury. This battery is situated about 8
wo miles from Fort Pemberton. Cap- f
ain Smith, of Company F, was also on 1
he ground doing excellent service.? I
^.fter the enemy had ceased firing, our 1
roops fired some five more rounds, ^
vhen they were ordered to discontinue. c
)ur troops behaved admirably, and
irere delighted at the opportunity to ]
>ay their regards to the insolent foe. *
The fire from the gunboats was very 1
iccurate, both solid shot and shell be- j
ng thrown at the battery. The enemy *

lurpose of preventing us from placing 1

The Enemy's Gunboat's Shelling i

The stir caused by the news from I
Pocotaligo yesterday afternoon, was i
jonsiderably increased by the news that (
he enemy's gunboats, after entering [
Stono Inlet, were at their usual work,
i few miles below the city. It appears
;hat five gunboats, one of which ap)eared
to be iron-clad, and without *
nasts steamed up Stono River with the *
lood tide yesterday morning. They J
;hrew a few shells near the camps at \
Secessionville, proving, conclusively, 1
;hat our troops there were within range ]
)f the gunboats. The Yankees then }
shelled the steamer DeKalb, forcing 1
lier to retire under the guns of Fort 1
Pemberton. tt 1
Yesterday afternoon, at flood tide, 1
the steamers began shelling our battery 1
it Newtown-Cut, and the fire was re- 1
turned. No casualties are reported ]
Dn our side. One shot from our batte- '
ry was plainly seen to cut down a mast, 1
and. other damage was probably done
iboard the gunboats, as our practice
was good. This battery was in charge
if Capt. Smith, Company F, (White's
Battalion). "Lieut. T. G. White assisted
in the cammand of the battery.
The negroes have been removed from
the Island, and the cattle are being
Iriven off.
At sunset, last evening, the enemy's
gunboats still remained anchored in (
;he vicinity of our batteries, and it is (
probable that they will re-open fire this {

A correspondent of the Mem- r

Scott's Louisiana Cavalry in North
Alabama. i
From a correspondent of the Mem)his
Appeal we gather the following
'urther particulars of the gallant deeds
)f Scott's Louisiana cavalry in North
Alabama. Dating at Courtland, Ala.,
May 4, this correspondent writes :
Scott's Louisiana cavalry have per'ormed
some most daring exploits in
ihis and the Athens neighborhood withn
the last ten days.
Advancing with a portion of his regment
towards Tuscumbia, John Scott
Tightened the Federals out of the pfe-ce
>y a very simple ruse. Capturing a
veil known negro, who, from his intinacy
with the Yankees in Tuscumbia,
vas a fit subject, he complied with the
larkey's pleadings for release, only on
laid darkey giving his parole that he
vould not tell the Yanks that Price and
ifteen thousand men were advancing
lpon them, of course the darkey made
racks for his friends in Tuscumbia, and
iwors that the hills were crowded with
Price's men. The burning of the stores
il. Florence and immediate evacuation
it Tuscumbia was the consequence.
In the meantime Captain Cannon, of
Scott's regiment, made a night march
icross the -mountains and daringly
:harged upon the whole column of repeating
Federals whilst they were on
;he road seven miles above Tuscumbia.
The Federals gave way in every direc;ion
and Cannon retired with twentyleven
prisoners, having killed and
vounded thirty more. Cannon's loss
vas two men slightly wounded. Advancing
with about one hundred and
ifty men, Scott attempted to cut them
>f? between Courtlarid and Decatur,
)ut Gen. Mitchell, who commanded
he Federals, made railroad time and
:rossed the Decatur bridge; destroying
t afterwards. Nothing daunted, Col.
Scott crossed the Tennessee at Lamp's
?erry and came up with Mitchell at
Athens, on the first day of April. The
snemy drew up in line of battle and for
t short time made some show of fight.
)ne or two shells from Lieut. Holmes'
Lowitzers, a charge and they retreated
n double quick through Athens. Their
orce consisted of the 18th Ohio regi-.
cent, and one company of dragoons.
Scott had but 162 men at the time of
naking the charge, and this small force
fas necessarily divided in pursuit of
he enemy, and capturing their wagons,
iamp, etc. The entrance of Scott's
egiment into Athens was a triumphant
ine. The streets were lined with exiltant
ladies and shouting men. The,
ormer gathered in a body and presentd
Scott with a Confederate flag, which
hey had kept hidden.
t .1 . n. .n .1 tA.J
in tne meantime ocoit uespaieiieu
Gannon, with a small force of thirty
aen, to destroy the Limestone Creek
bridge. This the gallant Cannon acomplished,
though not before a hard
ight in which he killed nine and woundd
many. He fired into a passing train,
tropping the Feds like flies, from the
ops of the cars. He then burned the
>ridge, and by this means threw a
ocomotive and twenty car loadjgm^ioisions,
including 1000 sacks-of coffee,
came down
latter was crosing
Elk rive^Scott's entire command
tad then come up, and he had 275 men,
,nd three small howitzers, to oppose
1,000 infantry, one regiment of dra;oons,
and one piece of artillery, which
Fas the force brought down from Hunts ille
to intercept Scott. The enemy
lid not make any attack until all of the
egiment had crossed except 111 men.
Jpon this small body the 4th Ohio regment
of cavalry charged in splendid
tyle. They were received by our boys
vith a yell and a perfect sheet of bulets
and buckshot, which drove them
>ack in wild confusion, with the loss of
ixteen killed, including Col. Kloskie,
heir commander. Out of ammunition,
md having waited in vain for promised
einforcements, Scott was compelled,
n view of the overwhelming force opjosing
him, to recross the Tennessee
iver, which he did in splendid style,
without the further loss of a single man
>r horse.
His total loss in all these encounters
vas three killed, seven wounded and
ive missing, together with some ten or
ifteen horses killed. In killed, woundid
and prisoners, the enemy certainly
ost 150 to 200 men. The spoils of the
L8th Ohio camp, -which was taken at
ithens, were rich beyond description.
Tents, overcoats, wagons, horses, blankets,
guns and ammunition, were all
jrought over the river in safety, except
;he last mentioned articles, which were
ost by the upsetting of the flat in E1E
iver.
Scott has almost cleared North Ala)ama
of Yankees, and something is
low in prospect that will cast a glow of
lelight over "true and faithful" Middle
Tennessee.
Notes of Trip,
We have talked with men from North
md South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
md Mississippi, and heard the same
;alk about salt. Why, at points in the
nterior, as we have learned, salt is beng
retailed at fifty cents a quart, which
vould make it an expensive luxury to
ndulge in, even at table. If, as the
egend goes, or as Luther is said to
lave said, he once ate a bushel of salt
vith the devil, we rather think salt
nust have been cheaper then than it is
iow, else it would have impoverished
he devil himself to have paid for many
repasts at the rate of sixteen dollars, or
indeed thirty-two dollars, if we assume
that his Satanic Majesty ate bushel for
lushel with the great Reformer.
But disguise this matter as we may,
it is a serious one, a most serious one.
[t is no longer simply a question of
price, although that is serious enough,
[t is a question of supply at any price.
People must have salt. If they can't

irom the enemy, and we all know the
langer, the demoralization of this traling
with the enemy. It is one of the
;hings that our cause has most to fear
'rom.
During our absence from home busiless
took us to Charleston, where marial
law is in operation, and from which
dace General Ripley has been removed
o some other sphere of duty, not much
o the regret of the citizens, as we
hould judge from the general tone of
remark. The.-people of Charleston are
still sore about the running off of the
steamer Planter, as -well as on the score
of some other things of the kind equally
shameful. There does not appear
to be any great excitement, although
families are getting off as fast as they i
can, and the whole up country is crowded
with Charlestonians who have gone
up, some of them as far away as Greensborough,
N. C.
Of the number of troops in and around
the city, of course we cannot
speak. There are a good many, however,
but they make no show on the
streets, and but few uniforms are to be
seen around the hotels or public places.
The pickets in the city are mounted.
No one, merely from reading, could
have any idea of the destructive sweep
of the great fire which swept through
the very heart of the city. Certainly
we had none. There is no appearance
now of charred timber or blackened
walls. The timbers were all burned up
wholly, or have been removed. The
walls, where unsafe, have been taken
down, and the bricks generally cleaned
? J i-i? -:I-J

they formerly enclosed. Here and
there, where the foundations have been
good, or the remaining fragments of
wall would bear it, houses have been
run up or are still going up, the old
bricks being generally used ; but these
rebuilt houses are very few.
The water courses are all up higher
than we recollect to have seen them before,
The Pee Dee is brimming; so
with the Wateree and the Congaree,
and so of course with the Santee. Of
the reports of the movements of the
Yankee gunboats on the South Carolina
coast and. rivers, we could not make
much definite They have certainly
been prowlL0 around and up the Black
River and the Waccamaw, and it was
feared that they would get up to Conwayboro.'
Of the means taken to repel
them, or check their advance, we
hardly know, and could not speak. It
is very desirable that these means
should be prompt and efficient, as their
further progress, especially up the Pee
Dee, might jeopardize our Southern
rail road communications as well as our
telegraph lines.

Exemptions.
The South Carolinian gives the following
information relative to exemptions
:
"No exemptions are granted under
the State law until a call for duty is
made.
Exemptions under the Conscription
tion Act (C. S. A.) will be granted
when conscripts are ordered to camp.
A Confederate Surgeon will then examine
all presenting themselves for du.

by invalids, who -will only be examined

Governor and Council and Courier.?No
body of men ever had so
vulnerable a constitution as our Governor
and Council. From different
sources blows are being struck that approximate,
if not touch, the vitals of
this anomalous organization. Among
the best of warriors arrayed against
them is the Charleston Courier. From
its quiver, arrows thick and fast are
drawn and hurled against them. Whether
they can withstand their jayelins
remains to be seen, convention-clad as
they are. None surely ever run a higher
and wilder career of legislation than
these, the creatures, and their parent,
the Convention. To dissolve that body
is an urgent necessity. Let the people
speak out, and like the frostwork of a
winter's night, it will melt away. -We
want no such despotism as the Convention
any longer. It has done its duty
as a political body?let us throttle it,
ere it becomes a legislative incubus?a
crying and intolerable evil.

I am informed by a member of my
church that was at Island No. 10., and
made his escape, that Thomas M. McElwee,
a graduate of Erskine College,
son of J. N. McElwee, York District,
South Carolina is either a prisoner or is
dead. When the young soldier (F.
Falls) left, McElwee was sick, low with
Typhoid fever and it is the settled
rt/vnTrJnfinn c\f liia fripTiflg tbnfc VlP is
dead. How sad to think of dying in
captivity far from friends. McElwee
was a member of my church and had his

Glorious News.?Another illustration
of the inefficiency of the blockade
has to be recorded. One hundred barrels
of powder, just imported reached
here on the Macon train yesterday
morning, and two car loads of small
arms were left in Macon because of the
inability of the engine to pull them.?
They will come on in duo time, and
will bo sent where they can do good
service. An additional proof that a
Confederate port has been recently entered
by some sea-goer, is found in the
fact that yesterday morning's mail contained
a number of letters from ouj*
cousins across the water. Bravo!
Columbus Times.
From Corinth.?By an arrival in
this city, we have intelligence from Cor-i
inth and vicinity, which, if true, is
Highly important, ana may ere tnis
have hastened matters to an issue in
that direction. When our informant
left it was reported that Gen. Beauregard
had succeeded in cutting off Hal-|
leek's supplies by railroad, and his only
means of communication was by the
Tennessee River, which was falling
very rapidly, and would soon beunnavi-j
gable. It was supposed Halleck would
be compelled to fall back, in which event
Gen. Beauregard1 would attack
him.
The railroads accessible to Halleck
are the Mobile and Ohio, to Columbus
and Hickman, Kentucky, and the road
from Louisville, Bowling Green and
Memphis, connecting at Humboldt with
the Mobile and Ohio, which is the road
probably served. Halleck's army is on
the Tennessee, at Pittsburg. . We await
further news from there with interest.?Richmond

An Appeal to the Unfortunate. "
Listen, officers, who have been defeated
in the late re-organization, listen
a few moments. I would say a word tc
to you who are on the same footing ?
with myself. |jj
We, it is true, feel mortified at our '
defeat, and no doubt the impression will n!
go far that we have proved ourselves oi
recreant to the trust reposed in us as ?
officers; but let us redeem ourselves-? pSome
of us have been left out by the un- jS
scrupulous intrigue of unpatriotic aspi- p,
rants?some by the exercise of that Pj
base principle, ingratitude?some from v
the impression that we were in the ser- u
vice only for the love of office and its ?
gains?some-because we simply and ^
faithfully discharged our duties?some pi
for one thing, and some for another, ft
but the world places us all upon the *
same ground. And now let us relieve 3
ourselves of the false accusations cast ?
upon us. Let us not, because we are 5
deprived of our offices, turn our backs ?
upon our country and leave her to the ?
mercy of our relentless, .invading foe. p
Arouse, ye patriot but unfortunate "
brothers, and let us return to the ser- JJ
vice in the capacity of humble privates. j]
It is true, some of us may think (and a
doubtless some really are) ourselves un- ?
able to serve as a private soldier. But ?
let us try it. I, for one, have a stiff jj
arm?the result of a gun-rshot wound a
received in the ever-memorable and glo- ?
rious battle of Manassas Plains. , But ?
I am going back to the field of strife? ?
to the field of danger?the field of hon- p
or. I am resolved to see my country "
free, or perish in the struggle. Awake! 0
arise! then, and join with me the gal- ?
lant partisan, Morgan. u

The Yankees Selling Negroes.? J
n i . i* /*i i
borne weeKs ago a portion or general ?
Mitchell's command was stationed at ?i
Lurkinsville, a small town in Jackson ei
County, Alabama, on the Memphis
Railroad. While there they pillaged
the country as they are accustomed to ]
do everywhere, ana of course took and r
employed as many contrabands as they .
wanted and kept them as long as they I
pleased. . ?
' But the hypocritical cant of the en- v
emy was most glaringly exhibited, in *
that after they were done with the ne- ?
groes, instead of sending them to their *
owner or taking them with them, they c
put them up at auction and sold them, &
The Yankees bid on them; but they ?
were careful to let them be knocked off
to residents, who generally were the v
former owners or the friends of the
former owners. Thus these men whose U
consciences hurt them so much that they
could not remain in the Union with slaveholders,
have become slave thieves
and dealers, through malice and greed
of gain. Of what worth are all their
loud-mouthed, empty professions ? |
The Potomac Crossed.?Intelligence u
received in official quarters yesterday a
leaves no doubt but that the line of the (J
Potomac has at last been crossed, and w
that a portion of Gen. Jackson's command
is now at Williamsport, in Mary- JJ
land. The army having been once c
mobilized, is in a condition to make ?
rapid marches. It is reported that in. "
Baltimore there were recently but three thousand
Federal troops, and scarcely
as many in Washington and vicinity. ]
Further news from Gen. Jackson's com- jj
mand will be anxiously expected. p
