Since oor last, the weather has been quite showery, too much so for cutting wheat, that is now being ready. The crops of grain never looked better, and from all quarters of the Confederacy, out of occupation by the invader, we have the same cheering intelligence. Already, however, has the cloven foot of the speculator ^and forestaller began to show itself, and we hear of proffers to boy entire crops, at high prices.? The floor in hand is held at high prices, having been bought under expectations not realized, and a monopoly of the new crop would materially assist in keeping up hof es of remuneration. We would advise the Farmer to keep bis wheat, as it is fully as good id his own barns, as the. money which the speculators are so desirous to rid themselves of. The army will have its part, and the remainder can always be sold to consumers, or kept for barter, or to pay indebtedness, which last should not be lost sight of. What if the surplus is taxed, the producer has abundant cause to thank God that they have been provided with such ample means to pay it. There is little prob Ability of Government impressing it in their hands; if there shoold be, they will pay the price it is worth, and next to one's own *. family, no greater right should be acknowledged, for the Army is the family of the country, in it are our sons and brothers, and we should not speculate ou their blood. Legitimate trade is considered honest, but we doubt not, when the soldiers come home, many trangressors will be held to a strict accountability. The law cannot reach those who "put a penny in the urn of charity, and take a shilling out," but public opinion is an unerring index, and the Soger of time points to a future we are making for ourselves. Corn is doing very finely, while rye, peas, potatoes, and all garden stuffs have been planted as largely as borne forces would permit, so distress, though barefoot, has for the time no resting place among us. OUB CASUALTIES. Gen. Lee, under date of Culpeper, June 9th, telegraphed to the Department at Richmond that the enemy had that morning crossed the Rappahannock at various fords, with a large force of cavalry and artillery, but after a severe contest were driven across the river by Gen. Stuart. The following casualties are reported to tne Uoiumoia Guardian, as having occurred in the 1st S. C. Cavalry, by Col. J. L. Black: Killed: Capt. R. A. P. C. Jones, Corporal J. C. Wilkes. Wounded: Capt. J. R. P. Pox, Privates J. Williams, William Wade, Stone Crawford, H. J. Jackson, H. M. Browder, severely, and John Carey slightly. Private despatches have also been received, in Columbia, announcing the death of Lieut. Col. Frank Hampton, of Richland, from wounds received in the same fight.? He was a gallant officer, and one highly esteemed throughout the State as a useful and publio spirited citizen. Capt. R. Ap. Catesby Jones, was from our owu District, in which his company W88 raised. He was a noble-hearted gen. tleman, generous to a fault, aud fully imbued with the love of country, his devotion to which be has sealed with his blood. He was a younger brother of Col. Cad. Jones, late of the 12th Regiment, and with him made a home among us a few year's since. His noble spirit and chivalrous character soon won him general esteem, and our entire community mingle their sympathy with j his bereaved family. CONFEDERATE NOTES. The banks ox Kicbmond have resolved, in consideration that they are not fundable from and after the 1st of August next, that they will decline to receive on deposit, frotn and after the 10th instant any Confederate State note9 which bear date prior to the 1st December, 1862, and that they will not pay out any such notes, nor use them settling balances from and after the 5th June, now passed. This occuring at the seat of Government, showing a disposition to force ? the funding of notes, however desirable it should be to the holders, must have a bad effect, if the example is followed by the other banks of the Confederacy. Congress has made the proper provisions, and it should have been deemed advisable to follow the ' instructions of the Act. The money is considered bad enough, in all conscience, if we are to judge from the high prices for its exchange into either State bank bills, or ? specie, bnt any action that even shadows ' forth repudiation, shonld not be tolerated by the government under its very nose.? "We trust that all Confederate notes will be funded at once, as much for the interest of those who hold them, as it will be to carry out the plans of the Confederate Treasury. Our money should be as good as our cause, ' ^ ? | and those who would depreciate the one, can have jbut little abiding faith in the latter. The Banks of Lynchburg, and Bank of the City of Petersburg have determined not to imitate the example of the Richmond Banks in refusing to reoeive and pay out Confederate treasury notes bearing date prior to 1st December, 1862, they will make ho invidious disoriminaton, but will receive and pay out all issues of the Confederacy as heretofore. In connection, we quote the following from the Richmond Examiner: "The operation of the tax and funding laws will, it is hoped, absorb an amount of ourrency sufficiently great to bring the relative values of gold and notes to what they jrere at the time those Acts were passed by Congress. The depreciation will thus be arrested, and the plan of taxation in kind, I hereafter to be pursued, will finally redeem the currency." BOLL OP HONOB. F. G. DeFontaine, Esq., better known as ?Persanne," the accomplished war correspondent of the Chaileston Courier, it seems is at present in Spartanburg. The following card from him fully explains itself, so we feel assured that the friends and relatives of those who have fallen in their country's cause, will assist the author to swell the list, and thus enhance the interest of the work itself, which should find, as it will deserve, a place at almost every hearth, for "who has not lost a friend ?" The Legislature entertained some idea of perpetuating the memories of our dead soldiers, and a gentleman, we thought, was appointed to arrange and collate the work, but we have beard nothing of it of late; still, this of Mr. De Fontaine's promises a series of sketches, which friendship should not fail to famish the material for. We commend the article below to the people of our District : we will do all in our power to assist those in need of information on the subject. S. CAROLINA "ROLL OF HONOR." In response to numerous applications, the subscriber announces the preparation of "South Carolina's Roll of Honor?a vol ume whose design is to perpetuate the name of every soldier son of the State who has I falleu by disease or in battle daring the war. In furtherance of this undertaking, the request is made of every family who have been thas afflicted, to send promptly to the address hereunder signed, a brief biographical sketch of the deceased, embracing name, age, place of birth, occupation, regiment and company, and incidents of battle or attending death, and especially such dying declarations as may reflect the character of the patriot and hero. The whole will then be revised and arranged in alphabetical form, and published as soon after the war as possible. It is desirable that a separate record should be devoted to the many Sonth Carolinians, who have fallen in the servioe of other States. If the expense and dimensions of the work be not too great, it will embrace many engravings of the dead, but at present the latter is not required. With generous co operation on the part of the citizens of the State in this matter, S. Caroliua will not have occasion to erect a monumental column "to the memory of the unknown and unrecorded dead." The press of the State will confer a favor by freely circulating the above request, and urging attention to the subject. F. G. DeFONTAINE, Spartanburg, S. C. We learn that the "Camp Fires, Marches and Battle Fields of the Southern Revolution," by "Perscnne," is nearly ready for publication, and but for the desire to embrace recent important events, would have been issued before. It will embrace from six to seven hundred pages, and bean interesting compendium of the history, he1 roism, romance, and facetiae of the war. EDITORIAL ITEMS. ?

We have seen a neat little Primer for children, from the press of the Greenville Patriot and Mountaineer. Mr. Elford deserves credit for his enterprise, which we ; hope will lead him to venture on a larger scale. ? A courier from Port Hudson. states that Com. Dupont and his iron Monitors, which were so successfully repulsed at Charleston, has arrived at New Orleans. ? An immense meeting of the peace Democrats was held in New York on the 3d.- The Herald says it numbered over j 30,000, and the New York Democracy, under Fernando Wood, have declared, en masse, in favor of a vigorous prosecution of peace, an armistice, and a separate convention of the loyal and rebel States. ? The dismissal by the President of the i British Consul at Riohmond, will compel | the dismissal of all others assuming to ex! ercise consular functions in this country? I Wo shall soon see what effect this evidence of our own relf-respeot will have on our "foreign relations." ? The stocks of goods advertised at auc; tion by the Charleston papers are immense. I How prices can be kept up under such oirI cumstances, is far beyond our compreheni sion. 1 !? G- L. RoWnett &>Co., two miles west of-Columbo8,'Ga., in Alabama, are manufacturing an excellent artiole of grindstones, an artiole mnob needed, a suitable quarry having been fonnd near the works. ? The Ladie's Card Factory, if we judge from the list of contributors daily published in the Columbia Guardian, promises a complete success, if the machinery can be got through the blockade. ? Two new boats, to assist in the blockade of Charleston, have been seen inside the bar. The Courier supposes they will not stay long, as measures are being taken to relieve the harbor of their presence. ?General Hunter has been recalled from the Department of South Carolina; he had but a short time previous threatened in a letter to President Davis the immediate execution of all prisoners that shonld be captured, and every rebel slaveholder, unless the order relative to those engaged in arming the negroes was cancelled. ? The Raleigh Progress says that President Davis has called on the Governors of the different States for troops for local defence; North Carolina is called on for 7000, to be ready by 1st of August, for 6 months service, to be raised by volunteering or draft, 1000 (in the mountain region,) of those over 40, or who may be otherwise exempt from conscription. ? A letter in the Presbyterian, from Rev. J. Monroe Anderson, Chaplain of the 12th Regiment, S. C. V. gives quite a favorable report of his stewardship at Camp Gregg. ? Four thousand five hundred Confederates reached Memphis. The officers to go to Sandusky, and the men to Indianapolis. ? Gen.

Grant asked Hurlburt for 30,000 men, ?>nd TTnrlherfc renlied that he did not know where they were to come from. ? The Chicago Tribune urges Abo Lincoln to take the field in person. We would advise him to assume the character of "Jenghis-Kban," aud to keep by him as an undress uniform that famous cloak and Sootch-cap, that once before has stood him in great need. How about the Tycoon's gift ? | ?Mr. John Drownlee, a prominent citizen of Williamston, S. C. died suddenly on I the 6th instant. ? Gen. W. H. T.

Acoident from locomotive sparks. ? The stream of. emigration from Ireland to this country, is said to be increasing, rather than diminishing. Alas, poor country, whose sons are induced to fly from it to find a resting place in this ! ? The steamer Ruby, from Nassau, was lost off Charleston bar, on the 12th instant, and fired by her crew. She belonged to an English firm, with a general cargo, a part on Government account. The passengers and crew escaped, though jfired on up to their necks ia water, by the blockaders. ? It is believed that the Yankees on Fol ly Island have placed lights on the Northern end of that place, for tho purpose of leading vessels astray, which are bound into Charleston. ? Neither foreigners or those who have substitutes in the army are exempt from militia duty in North Carolina. The Adjutant General says they are all "residents," and as such subject under the law, "J. P's" and all. ? The "Kaocoon" is the name of a new Bteamship, purchased'in Hamburg, Germany, .which has successfully run the blockade into Charleston, notwithstanding the decoy lights, on the 11th instant. She has an assorted cargo, and very desirable freight for Government. The "Dutchman" probably has Rhine wine aboard. ? Dr. E. H. Andrews, Dentist, formerly of Charlotte, N. C., but who, we learn, is a native of England, is now a prisoner in Washington oity, having been captured some time since, with a considerable sum of gold in coin and bullion. Lord Lyons is said to be prosecuting enquiries relative to the legality of his arrest, with a prospect of * * mi.. ir.. _i : x * HIS release, J.ne xauaa Uiay give iimo up ?the gold, nosir-ee. ? Shares of stock in the "Dixie Steamship Company," we see advertised to be had on application to Capt. T. Harrison Baker, or H. F. Baker & Co., Charleston. ? It^burts a North Carolina paper to know of the election of Col. Smith, as Governor of Virginia, as he was elected once before, and a "rigid righteous" secessionist from the first; but "he fowt," and that ought to make matters worse in the Editor's imagination. ? The news reporter at Jackson is receiving the "blessings" of the press generally. The Florence Confederate says he "does 1 r cot eeem to have sense enough to go is. when it rains." ? The crops in Texas promise abundantly. The' greatest danger to be apprehended to the crops is now from an exoess of rain, for the present indications are that this is to be one among the few rainy seasons of Texas. I ? George D. Prentice is in Nashville, stopping ?t the St. Clond. The price of whiskey has considerably advanced since his arrival. ? Four boxes of Tobacco were sold in Lynchburg, Virginia, on Friday last, for three thousand dollars. They weighed 1036 pounds. ? A report has reached Nassau, whioh is probably false, that the Yankees have refused to clear any more vessels from New York and other Northern ports for that port. 1 n.ATToi?nrw T.hLKnnlr in K?q TY2 0CQQ era UVIWUU4 JUUVl/UVUj tu u*w wvwwHgwj states that Texas has furnished 87,000 troops for the Confederate army. He recommends a State conscription lav, to embrace all bdlween the ages of sixteen and sixty; and this law lias been adopted by the Legislature, and is now in force. *% ? There is still "great cry and little wool" over the Vallandigham affair, in the North. It affords good material for Buncomb. ? Edie, the absconding Charleston clerk, had nearly got off co England; he had been detained by a fair enohantress, who had resolved to accompany him, and to prevent his going without her had got possession of his papers. His career is another illustration of the consequences of fast habits and evil associations. ? Col. Joseph A. and Maj. A. A.Davidson, of Iredell, ft..

The "military Governor of Louisiana," has declared out of force and effect the Act of the Legislature, passed March, 1857, prohibiting the emancipation of slaves. ? Several Yankees who were pilfering the upper rooms of a residence in Jackson, , ... . j _ iL - I Mississippi, were curat to uemu iu iue building. ? The Bluffton raid was effected by a New Hampshire Regiment, 1,000 strong?none punished. ? Maj. Gen. D. H. Maury, has arrived at Mobile, and resumed command of the Department of the Gulf. ? The Yankees assert that the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States, would utterly defeat the great experiment of Republican liberty. They ignore the fact that the suppression of free speech and the press, has already shown the South to be with the Constitution, andouly the "experiment" of consolidation likely to end with the success of the "rebellion." ?The Abolitionists have often asserted that "the South could not be kicked out of the Union," now thay find it so difficult to whip her in again, that they call on all the rag-tag and bob tails of Europe to aid them in their oowardly attempt at subjugation. ? A Spanish steamer was lost 45 miles off Mobile Point, on the 25th ultimo, with a cargo from Havanna yajued at ?500,000. Of 42 .passengers and crew, only four were saved?one of them'h member of General Buckncr's staff. ? P. M.

The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that produce consigned to commission ??:?n?i ? meicnanu jeiers iu ugnvuituiai puuuvu alone, and does not include salt. ? Some of the lately arrived exiles say that the yellow fever has made its appearance in New Orleans. This is quite probable. It has often appeared sooner in the year than this. Happily it can have no effect except on the Yankees. ? A country editor having received two gold dollars ia advance for his paper, says that he still allows his children to play with other children, as usual. ? A Cincinnati dispatch reports that President Davis replied to a dispatch of Gen. Bragg with regard to Yallandigham, that if he took the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy to receive him, and if not, to send him back. ? Gen. Morgan has been turned loose, it is said, with instructions to report to no one but Gen. Johnston. ? The Montgomery Advertiser says that there is a mistake, and that though Bragg was the first officer confirmed by the JPermanent Government, the commissions of the others vrho were confirmed by the Provisional Government were dated at a period anterior to i;bat of General Bragg. ? Pemberton sent word that he could hold Vicksburg, and told Johnston to take his time and organize and discipline his forces. ? The reported taking of Helena some days since, grew out of the fact that our troops mado a feint on that place, and did sncceed in capturing a heavy train of wagons in the rear of the town, and capturing quite a number of prisoners. Our forces were composed of cavalry principally. ? The Chattanooga Rebel of the 7th says: The gallant Pemberton was wounded at the .last attack on Vicksbarg. His traduoers will have their feelings wounded when they hear of it. ? Whenthe Confe'deratStaiders were'at Morgantown, Va., a few weeks since, the citizens of Waynesburg, Penn., sent a flag of trace some eight miles, offering to surrender. ? The Yankees appear to be on the eve of making another move. It appears that Hooker is tired of Ashing in the Rappahannock and is going to try a bole somewhere else. ? The death of Gen. Jackson has caused the following changes and promotions, viz : Gen. A. P. Hill, Lieut. General j Gen. W. D. Pender, of N. 0., and Gen. Heath, Major-Generals. Other promotions remain yet to be made known. Tf ia nn/1 ?f HnmmnilnfO XV AO UUUWtOVWU VUHII VUUWVUV1U XiaiUner is to supercede Commodore Wilkes in command of the West India flying squadron.

The Bowman House, the only hotel left by the Yankees, was destroyed by fire this morning. Maj. Smiley, commandant of the post, escaped by jumping out of the third story window, and was caught in a blanket.? Loss estimated at 8250,500, partially insured. Jackson, June 11.?A special to the Mississippian, dated Panola, June 10, says the Yankee cavalry, 1,000 strong, under Col. Hatch, passed Holly Springs on Monday, going South?another Grieison raid contemplated. Col. McCullock, 2d Missouri cavalry, attacked the enemy 28 miles south of Memphis on Monday and put them to rout. Northern dispatches say Hunter's troops sailed from Port Royal to reinforce Banks. A private letter from Clinton, La., dated June 8, says, Port Hudson was exposed to a tremendoas fire bv the enemy's fleet for the past ten days. The Essex and two other gab boats were so badly damaged that they withdrew from the attack. Grierson, with 2,000, attacked Col. Logan, with 600 men, near Clinton on the 4th inst. The enemy were handsomely repulsed and driven off with a loss of 80, including 50 prisoners. Our loss was 3 killed and 14 wounded. A negro Lieutenant and 12 others belonging to John Taylor Moore, near Grand Gulf, who had arrested citizens and committed depredations were brought here to day. Some excitement, coupled with threats to administer the lynch law, was caused, but tbey were quietly turned over to the military authorities to be dealt with, a3 they claimed to be U. S. troops. A correspondent of the N. York Times adverts to Grant's loss, and says it was tremendous. For instance, an Indiana Regiment went in nine hundred strong and came out with one lieutenant colonel and fifteen men. The same correspondent says a Federal brigade Was repulsed on the Big Black riverby Gen. Johnston. Jackson, June 12.?An offioer who left Vicksburg on Wednesday night, reports all working well, the garrison in fine spirits, well supplied with provisions, and so far but little damage done by the enemy's fire. The total loss of the garrison since the. commencement of the siege does not exceed five hundred. Grant was still pegging away from his parallels, but no mischief has been done so far. A special dispatch to the Mississippian, under date of June 12th, says Gen. Marmaduke captured one transport and sunk anothcr near Helena on the 11th instant.? Two regiments were sent to Helena against him ; he routed them and drove them back to the town. General Price is marching on Old Town Point, eighteen miles below Helena. Twenty two companies from North Mississipi have reported for duty under the . late call. Summit, June 13.?Gentlemen from Woodville reports Banks fortifying on Thompson's Neck, northwest of Port Hudson, and planting heavy siege guns. Banks has mustered several regiments out of service. ? 1 1 i.l.J Sterman naa nis leic aria umpuuucu. Jackson, Jane 13.?Our loss in the series of attacks is about six thousand, that of the enemy between forty and fifty thousand. Grant's present force does not exceed sixty thousand, notwithstanding the heavy reinforcements which have reached him. Numbers are swept off by sickness and desortion. Prom Vicksburg. By far the most interesting piece of intelligence received from Vicksburg yestorday, says tho Richmond Examiner, of the 10th inst, is the statement that Kirby Smith's forces hold Miliken's Bend. This is an important strategic point on the Mississippi, thirty two miles, by the course of the river, above Vicksburg, and of course above the mouth of the Yazoo. If it is indeed true that the Confederates hold that point with force, Grant's campaign is virtually finished. The reader must recollect that the Federal army obtains all its supplies from the river above Vioksburg. Although Grant's attack was made from Grand Gulf, that place was not long his base; and when he gained Haines' Bluff and the Yazoo, all communication with it was aban doned. He relies on Memphis and the river above Vicksburg for food and reinforcements. Milikin's Bend in Confederate hands cuts off both. The river is narrow, and makes such a turn as to form a narrownecked peninsula of land there. With ordinary artillery only, the passage of everything except the strongest iron clads can be easily prevented. In fact the possession of this point destroys Grant's communications most effectually. He must either carry Vicksburg immediately by a general assault, or make good his retreat on Memphis with all haste. This he cannot do without an enormous loss of stragglers, prisoners and material, even if uninterrnpted by the Confederate troops. The effeot of the alleged movement by Kirby Smith is easily seen; the only thing ? ? s , doubtful is the truth of the statement.? The news is not official, but we give it credit, because of its probability. It was stated a f$w days since, that Gen.. Smith had crossed at Port Hudson. It is possible that a portion of his forces did actually aid the army at that point in tho repulse of Banks; but it is not necessary to suppose that all his troops were engaged; and when Backs was defeated there was no longer necessity that aoy of them should be theTe. LATESTNEWS, THE NEWS. We can gather little of importance by last evening's mail, though our paper contains all of interest. Vicksburj is still safe, and Kirby Smith's occupation of Miliken's bend seems confirmed. , ^ * Prom Fredericksburg. Richmond, June 14.?Letters from Fredericksburg by this evening's train state that the Yankees have returned to the Stafford side of the Rappahannock. Two trains crowded with troops were seen to leave the depot this morning. A considerable numi . i? iL. -:-i- 1?- -i? J:_ uci ui icuta uu luc uLUci aiuo uavc aiau uiaappeared. The enemy still remain on the jiver bank. Escape of Confederate Prisoners. Richmond, June 15.?Northern dates of the 18iu state that whilst the steamer Maple Leaf was conveying 300 Confederate officers from Fortress Monroe to Fort Delaware on Wednesday, the prisoners overpowered the guard, captured the boat, and ran her in near the Virginia shore, when all but twenty-six escaped. General Dix sent a cavalry force after them, i>ut up to the latest advices bad not recaptured them. B&" The negro regiment from Boston, the 54th Massachusetts, under Col. Hollowell, 1,500 strong, arrived at Hilton Head on Friday last. J?" Mr. Vallandigbam has arrived in Wilmington, N. C., en route for Nassau. The Fight in Culpeper County.? i The details of Tuesday's battle in Culpeper county are still meagre. It appears to have been fought upon the farm of John S. Barbour, Esq., near Brandy Station. The enemy's force, consisting of from fiifteen to twenty thousand men crossed the river at an early hour in the morning, got in the rear of our pickets and captured them, and pressed rapidly on to our camps, wheih they surprised and threw into some confusion. J Falling upon General Jones' brigade, which , 1 thev found in the act of forming, thev niero- , ed and broke our liaes, aud forced our men j to fail back. It is stated that they captured < Gen. Stuart's headquarters, near Brandy; < also Brandy Station, and it is understood, some stores there. Oar men, recovering from their surprise, now came rapidly forward, and threw themselves upon the enemy, and a desperate hand to band light, with , sabres, ensued. The enemy were driven to j a point nearer to the river, with consider* able Toss in killed, wounded and prisoners. , The fight lasted until five o'olock rn the j evening, when the enemy were repulsed at ; all' points, and finally driven- back across the Rappahanock.?Rich.
