- ' EU3CTION OF FIELD OFFICERS.
As some difference of opinion exists among
the late "Reserves," regarding the
Field Officers of the Regiments about to
be raised, we most state that they are to be
elected, and not appointed, as was the oase
tinder the Executive Couocil. The Order j
of General Garlington distinctly provides, i
t&at "Companies organized under this orderwill
hereafter be organized, by'orders
issued from this office, into Regiments of
ten companies each, by the election of field
officers; and when calied into the field, will
be mustered into Confederate service, for
' . ' i
local defence and special Bervice within the
limits of this State, for the teim of six
months'iironi the first day of August next."
WAR'S PHASES.
"Bails" seem to be the order of the day
in our armies. Quite a nice party lately
assembled on the Black water, which was
^attended by many guests, among them Gen. j
Jenkins and lady, together with his Staff,
and the Band of the 6th S. C. Regiment,
wbo went'down from Franklin in a captured
steamer. On the General's approach
"a salnte of seven big guns were fired,"
and "tbe amusements commenced ?a
tournament led off?then the crowning of
a Queen?and then an onslaught on "ra' ?*:
tions," then dancing to settle them down?
then a band of Minstrels performed?then
the General bade adieu, and went on board
the steamer?seven more big guns were
. .. fired, as an evidence of plenty of powder?
then the sun sunk beneath the "western"
horizon, and the remainder of the company
"Danced all night 'til broad day light
.And went nome with the gaU in the morning."
"And such is war!"
STEW ART'S' C A V ALB Y.
The fight with Stewart's Cavalry, on the
Rappahannock, though it resulted, eventually,
with our success, was a mast disgraceful
surprise. It is to. be trusted, that the
foppishness of Gen. S. and bis rosemary
Staff, who are so fond of halls and lady's
favors, may not lead to another Yao Doro
affair. Gen. Lee is said to have expressod
his displeasure in plain terms. The Yankees
claim to have gathered valuable-papers
V < .
of the brigade, (Jones') showing that they
had been reviewed the day previous, with
eiders to leave the next on their "great
raid" into Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The Northern papers show that the loss
of the Yankees in this fight with Stewart was
very heavy, especially among the officers.?
Although only partial returns have been re
oeived of their loss, the list fills a whole '
i
column in the Herald, and shows that the '
slaughter most have been terrible. The {
' Herald, speaking of the great loss of offi- !1
cers, says: "The brigade of regulars lost 1
in killed and wounded twenty-oDe out of 1
ninety officers present. In the second U.
States Cavalry seven offioers were killed
and wqunded." 1
-? ?- i
CALL OK" THE MILITIA.
By reference to our advertising columns
to-day, it will be seen that President Davis
has called on Gov. Bonham for 5000 troops '
of infantry for State defence, in accordance
with which a proclamation is issued, calling 1
on all the militia Regiments of the State to
meet at their respective muster grounds on
the 7th of July next, to furnish their quota, !
by volunteering, or draft. The term for
which tbey will be mustered in, will be for
six months from the 1st of August next,
tbongh it may be probable that they will not
be called away from home, for all or any
part of that time. Nevertheless, they will
be subject to short notice, and are expected
to bo kept in readiness by drill, and otherwise.
We think it likely that not more
than one company, of not less than G-i, or
more thau 100 will be required from a regiment,
and, God koows York can illy spare
that number, the war having already most
of her availablo material. A necessity,
however, seems to exist, so we trust the
call for volunteers iu onr paper to-day, will
be responded to by those who can best go,
and thus supersede the draft, which might
fall with great severity ou some poor families,
who may be deprived of their sole promi.

divided by the volunteer system-, and neighborhoods
cap do mnoh by forwarding the
movement. Even after-this enrolment, another
is to be organized for home defence,
and thus, it will be seen, that the entire
community will be absorbed, and there is
no room for substitution. It is hard, but
it cannot be helped, as "what cannot be
cured must be endured," we hope our noble
women will assist the volunteers by
their encouragement and advioe. Let not
York wait for the draft, but anticipate it by
voluntary action?let there be no more
skulkers under petty exemptions, but a patriotic,
self-sacrificing spirit bo onoe more
exercised, as our brave boys have set the
example.
Unless the company rolls have been enlarged
since the last Regiment assemblage,
we doubt if the; entire list will reaob 125,
between 40 and 50 years.
THE NEWS.
- Since bur last, we have had but little
news from the theatres of war, yet in all
the shifting scenes, onr minds are bnoyed
np with pleasing expectations. The news
from Winchester is fully confirmed, while
we hold Harper's Ferry, (though the Farkees
have Maryland Heights) where we
captured immense stores. From Fredericksburg,
we have little of importance?the
poor people are reaping a rioh harvest of
spoils from the enemy's deserted camps.
Ewell pushed immediately on after the capture
of Winchester, and seized the ford of
the Potomao at Sheperdstown, thirty miles
from Winchester. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is ours once more, and is of
coarse already dismantled. The capture of
Milroy's army puts the whole Valley at our
command, General Ewell has marched on
Maryland, and great is the tribulation amofig
the Abolitionists. Business is suspended
at Barrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania,
all important documents have
been removed, and from Bedford, Pa., the
inhabitants are dying away for safety. At
Philadelphia, on the 16th, the Mayor issued
a proclamation, closing all the stores,
and ordering the occupants to join military
organizations to defend the city. In New
York, all the regiments were getting ready
under arms; and besides all this, Lincoln
calls for 100,000 militia. Five hundred
Union cavalry have been captured near
Green Castle, wherever that is, and "the
rebels" are in strong force at Williamsport
and Cumberland. The fortifications opposite
Harrisburg are considered sufficient
protection for the city, and the people are
disposed to underrate the danger that the
line of the Shenandoah will become the
? .a* t , t /-t _/ T*
seat ot war, so ididks tne uovernor or jreansylvaDia;
and our information from the
North, is from their own sources.
From the West we daily expeot something
important. The Yankee troops at
Memphis were being pushed forward, and
they were rigging rafts across the Tallahatchie,
with the intention of destroying the
road below Panola, and cutting off Gen.
Johnston's supplies. The "grand army"
seem to have laid aside their weapons, and
turned their attention to destroying our provisions
and crops, as a last resort.
Accidents daily occurring on the Meridian
rail road have retarded General Johnston's
movements, but bis troops and those in
Vicksburg, are in good spirits. General
Johnston has issued orders granting full
pardon to all deserters who rejoin their oommand
immediately. Gen. Magruder has
his eyes fixed on Yioksborg, and is co-operating
with his .fellow soldiers near the
scene of action.
We look for news this evening, Tuesday.
COMMUNICATED.
ATTENTION! 34TH REGIMENT.
The President of the Confederate States
having made a call on South Carolina for
3000 troops for State defenoe, and the Gov
;rnor having issued his Proclamation calling
this Regiment together on the 7th July
to furnish its quota by volunteering or druft,
i list has been opened for the purpose of
forming such a company, to which the attention
of "all persons liable to any military
duty" is directed. If the number of
64 is obtained by the day of the muster,
the company will be then organized; or the
list will be handed over to the Colonel on
the ground, for its completion. No other
appeal is deemed necessary, as the emergency
is all sufficient?so we trust that those
who may not volunteer before the day set
apart, may go to the ground prepared to do
jo at that time. The list can be fouud at
the "ENQUiaEii" Office.

. ?Capt/R. Ap. C. Jones, of the 2ndS.
C. Cavalry, was, it is said, murdered at the
late battle, having in a charge taken a number
of prisoners, who had surrendered and
were delivering up their arms, when one of
their number shot him dead.
Mrs. Mary Hampton, reliot of the late,
and mother of the present General Wade
Hampton, died in Colombia oh the 19th
instant.
? The Confederate iron olad steamer Atlanta,
was captured in Warsaw Sound by
two Yankee Monitors, after a short engage,
ment, the former having got aground.
? We notice that preparations for "home
defence" are being made pretty generally
throughout the State?they will no doubt
be helped along now by those who may ex
poet to get dear of the draft for State
servioe.
?Persons between the agesjof 1G and 18,
though liable to militia duty out of the District,
are not subject to the draft contemplated.
We presume they can volunteer
for the six months.
? The forces now called for by the Governor,
are to be organized into regiments by
the election of their Field Officers, under
Orders from the Adjutant General of the
State.
? North Carolina has been called on for
seven, and Virginia for 8000 troops for
State defence. Tho North Carolina Regiments
meet for the purpose on the 17th of
July.
? The weather continues quite favorable
to growing crops, but the wheat has to be
harvested between showers. The crop was
never better or as large.
? At the late blockade sales in Charleston,
the prices of goods keep up to the highest
figures.
? Many of the Conscripts sent to oamp in
Virginia have been returned home as unfit
for duty, while there are a good many at
home that ought to be made replace them.
? Home is decidedly the most appropriate
place for the wonnded or sick soldier. The
care and kind attentions of relatives and
friends, coupled with the relief of mind
the patient feela when among bis own kin,
will do more to heal the woand and restore
tbe broken constitution than weeks of skillful
treatment away from homo.
? Among tbe latest martyrs in the cause
of Southern Independence, wo find the
name of Andrew J. Rugg, who, previous
to the war, was the owner and editor of the
Darlington Flat/.
? Yankee spies are thought to be in Columbia,
S. C. from circumstances that have
transpired.
? A Mobile'paper gives cheering news
as to the probable co operation of Kirby
Smith aod Magruder with Genls. Johnston
and Gardner.
? Brigadier General A. P. Stewart has
been promoted to a Major Generalship, and
assigned to tbe oommand of a division in
Gen. Hardee's Army Corps.
? All the linen mills, nine cotton mills,
and three print works on Fall River, Mass.,
are idle?caused by an overstocked market
and a decline of cotton goods below the
cost of the raw material.
? The Raleigh Stale Journal informs us
that Gov. Yance has determined to convene
the N. C. Legislature in Extra Session,
on the 30th June.
? Enrollment meets with great resistance
in Fulton county, Penn. Enrolling officers
are pelted with eggs and their lives threatened.
? The term of service of nine N. Jersey
regiments expire this month.
t? Ex-Senator Pugh has been nominated
as tbe Democratic oandidate for Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio. He made a fiery speech
spurning and defying Burnsides' order.

a high eulogium. It says he was one of the
most consummate Generals that this country
has produced.
? Col. Philip C. Kirk, a useful and long
continued member of the Legislature, from
St. John's Berkley, deserves mention. He
has steadily refused to sell corn for more
than one dollar a bushel?selling it at that
rat'e only to consumers, and giving the cold
shoulder to speculators.
? The Wheat crop in all sections of Mississippi
is magnificent. The yield is so
large that the State will be an exporter
rather than an importer of flour after supplying
the demands of the people and army.
In fact, the yield of all grain crops will be
abundant. The fruit crop is fine, and everything
promises well for a year of plenty
and bountifulness.
? A woman named Rosalie LeGrand, was
robbed in Columbia ou Friday night last,
and left in a precarious oondition from the
application of chloroform, by two soldiers
calling themselves W. T. Sanders and
Frank B. Roberts, for whom a reward of
$500 is offered. The property stolen consisted
principally of jewelry, with $5000
Confederate bills.

RiCHMbND, Jane 17.?A despatch dated
Rockingham, Jane lGth, to the agent of
the Associated Press, says that Ewell attacked
the enemy at Winchester on Saturday,
and fought him all day Sunday. On
Monday, at 4, a. m., he renewed the attack,
and, after a straggle of one hour, the Abolition
flag was lowered. Our victorious veterans
took eDtife possession of the place,
and the com mand of Milroy, between 6000
and 7000 strong, which formed the Yankee
garrison, surrendered to our forces, with all
tbeirstores, etc., embracing several hundred j
horses and wagons, artillery, equipments
and trains. Our loss in killed, wounded
and missing will not exceed 100. Not one
of ou^officers was killed. Milroy endeav- j
ored to escape, but it is rumored that he has j
since been captured. Colonel Alioott, who j
was endeavoring to reinforce Milroy, with
about 2000 men, was surprised by and surrendered
to General Edward Johnston, near
BerryvHle, on Sunday evening.
Passengers by the Central train from the
Valley of Virginia) confirm the news received
by telegram'from Harrisonburg this
morning. They also report the escape of
Milroy, with an escort of cavalry. There
is no other news. The weather is very
warm. No Tain ytft.
Richmond, June 18.?Passengers by
the Central train this evening bring little
additional Dews from Winchester. The
number of prisoners taken was fully 7,000;
from two to three thousand horses, and an
immense number of wagons.
The Yankees have entirely disappeared
from Stafford County. The buildings < at
Acquia Creek were not destroyed. The
citizens of Fredericksburg, so long exiled,
are preparing to return and re-occupy their
homes.
Before the capture of Winchester, Milroy
notified the rebels that he would burn
the town- if an attempt was made to storm
the position. Ewell replied that he would
hang every Yankee captured.
The poor people of Fredericksburg are
reaping a rich harvest of spoils from the
enemy's deserted cimp in Stafford.
Richmond, Juual9?Apprehensions of
a drought id this vicinity were relieved by
a copious and refreshing rain last night.
The Martiosbnrg Sentinel says it has received
a number of communications indignantly
denying that our cavalry were surprised
at Brandy Station.
latest from port hudson.
Jackson, June 17.?A courier arrived
at Brookhaven last bight from Port Hudson.
He reports our troops there in fine spirits.
They had repulsed the enemy twenty-seven
times. Aid was dose at hand. The courier
states that the enemy was punished severely.
The line 6f battle of the Zouave
regiment afforded 'a good mark for our
sharpshooters, who took deliberate aim and
killed and wounded immense numbers.?
Port Hudson has sixty days provisions, and
no fears oro entertained of its Bafety.?
The garrison are determined to hold out to
the last.
Ozyka, June 16.?A desperate fight
took place at Port Hudson on the 12th inst.
The Confederates left their entrenchments,
charged the enemy, drove him from his fortifications,
aad spiked his siege guns.
A citizen from New Orleans on Saturday
evening, reports that many regiments were
arriving the:re from Baton Rouge. TheFederals
were despondent, and admitted
that they cannot take Port Hudson by assault.
Provisions were high and rising in
New Orleans. The St. Charles Hotel is
filled with the wounded from Port Hudson,
brought down to the city by boat loads at
night. ^ '
Summit, Miss., Jane 17.?A courier
from Gen. Logan states that that officer
dashed into Jackson, La., od Monday, and
captured 100 Yankees, belonging to tne
40th New York cavalry, and 20 negroes,
with their wagons and arms, aod 120 horses.
Among the prisoners are a Major and
a Dumber of other officers.
Jackson, June 18.?For the first time
iu four days heavy firing was heard from
Yioksburg, this morning. The latest aocounts
represent Grant-busy fortifying and
cuttiog dowti trees aoross the Big Black, to
impede Johnston's movements. Tbey also
represent that great distress prevails among
the citizens inside the enemy's lines. The
Yankees rob them of all their provisions,
and numbers are in a starving condition.
The enemy's cavalry made a dash on the
outposts near Edwards' Depot, yesterday,
but found them too strong, and retreated
across the Big Black again.
Scarcely a day passes without an aooident
on the Meridian Boad, which, being the
principal means of transportation of supplies,
have retarded Gen. Johnston's movements.
Firing continues at Yioksburg.
Jaoksony Jo be KK?Aspeciai despatch
to the Mississippian, dated Panola, 18th,
says a heavy force of Yankee cavalry are
marching on Yowma, between that point
and Grenada. Hatch and Wallace's Yankee
cavalry are rigging rafts across the Tallahatchie,
with the intention of destroying
the road below Panola, and cutting off Gen.
Joh'nston's supplies. Another force is crossing
the Cold Water, near Senatobia. They
come from Memphis.
Gen. Johnston has issued orders grant
log full pardon to all (inserters from this
department vrho will rejoin their commands
immediately.
Nothing from Vioksburg or Port Hudson.
No firing heard there this morning.
THE FIGHT AT MILIKEN'S BEND.
Jackson, June 15.?A soldier who participated
in the fight say6 that Walker's Division
attacked the enemy at Miliken's
Bend on last Sunday, capturing and killing
great numbers, and driving the remainder
to the gun-boats.
Official despatches from Miliken's Bend
state that our attack on that place was a
failure. The enemy had three lines of
works, and were driven out of two, but
made a desperate stand nt the third, and
with the assistance of their gun-boats repelled
our forces. Nothing is known outside
of official circles of Kirby Smith's
movements. .
Advioes from Memphis state that wounded
men on transports are still arriving from
Yioksburg.
j LATEST NEWS"
BY LAST EVESIWS MAIL,
So far aa we bear, the intelligence is most
gratifying. An attack was made by as on
Knoxville, which did not sacoeedso'well at
first, but it was followed np on the 20th instant,
with signal success, the particulars of
which we must postpone until we get them
from reliable sources. Below we give all
reliable that has come to hand. It is now
officially stated that Kirby Smith is at
Miliken^s Bend.
Biohmond, June 22.?Nothing by the
Central train except the reported cavalry
fight on Thursday and Friday at Middleburg.
Bobertson's Brigade was chiefly engaged.
The enemy was repulsed with a
severe loss and a large portion of the 1st
Rhode Island Cavalry captured.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 17th,
has a special, which says the rebels encamped
beyond Chambersbarg, 3,500
strong, under Jenkins.
Other despatches state that Ewcll's
corps is in the advance, with Stuart's cavalry
and Hill close behind, Longstreet bringing
up the rear No doubt Lee is threatning
the whole force in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Jackson, Jane 22.?On Saturday morning,
at 2 o'clock, the enemy made a furious
assault on our line in rear of Ticksburg.?
The aotion lasted until 10 o'clock a. m.,
ending in a complete repulse of the onemy.
Citizens from the neighborhood report the
fire of musketry to have ezoeeded anything
ever heard- The loss of the eDemy is
heavier than any other attack. Nothing
whatever is known with regard to our loss,
but it is oertain that another great victory
has been gained..
Passengers from Grenada report that the
Yankee raiders have goae baok in the direction
of Memphis, after burning Panola and
Bertsville. It was thought Gen. Chalmers
had overtaken them, as firing had been
heard in the direction they had taken.
A special correspondent of the Missimppian
estimates the loss of the enemy, on
Saturday, at 10,000 ; also, that the enemy
are throwing poutoons across the Big Black,
between the Railroad Bridge and Baldwin's
Ford, near Warrenton.
It is reported that our forces have taken
possession of Union BlafF, on the Yazoo.
Our scouts, just arrived from the interior
of the enemy's lines, report that they acknowledge
their loss is heavier than any
other assault, variously reported at 10,000,
and that the repulse was complete. Their
troops are muoh depressed in consequence,
and say that Vicksburg has ever been a
slaughter-pen, and abuse Gen. Grant for
undertaking an impossibility.
Gen. Rnggie8, with his cavalry, overtook
the raiders near Kocky Ford, on the^ToH^hatchie,
to day, when a severe engagement
ensued, resulting in the capture of 30 prisoners,
two pieces of artillery, and the entire
baggage and ammunition train, together
with a large amount of provisions, stolen
from oitizens. The enemy lost 81. Our
loss small.
Gen. Grant sent a flag of truce to General
Jackson, yesterday, asking permission
to remove his wounded, left at Edwards'
Depot, after the fight at Baker's Creek,
which was allowed; after which they were
duly exchanged.
Mubfbeesbobo', June 18?Bragg has
received three brigades of reinforcements.
He has eighteen brigades of infantry and
cavalry. Indications are that he will assame
the offensive, and invade Kentucky.
Richmond, June 22.?-Au official despatoh
states that Kirby Smith is at Miliken's
Bend.
A letter from General Lee, dated Friday,
states that portions of Stuart's command
have had several engagements with the
enemy's cavalry, all resulting successfully
for our side.
Binckney Walker, Esq., is officially recognized
as Acting British Consul for the
fitntno nf Mnrth and Smif.h flnrnlina. having
" v.. v / o
submitted satisfactory evidence of his appointment.
Odr Garrison at Vicksburq?Many
have apprehended (says the Jackson Mississippian,
of the 14th instant,) that our
garrison at Vicksburg would have to surrender,
if not speedily relieved, on acoount
of the scarcity of provisions. But we learn
from an officer, who has just arrived, bringing
dispatches to Gen. Johnston, that bountiful
supplies for the next sixty days are on
hand; and as au evidence we give below a
statement of the rations issued to the men
daily, to wit:
One quarter pound of tirfeon, one half
pound of beef, one quarter pound of flour,
Ave eighths of a pound of meal, and the
usual allowance of pens, rice, sugar and
molasses. So it will be seen at a glance
that the gallant defenders'of the Gibraltar
of the West, instead of starving, are living
better than the troops in this vicinity^ and
of course if there was a scarcity of subsistence,
it would be hoarded by the commander.
We sincerely hope that all fears in regard
to this matter will be settled now, for the
above is entitled to the highest credit.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Colombia, 8. C., June 17,1863.
IN answer to many letters upon the
subject or the exemption of magistrates, it is stated for
the information of all concerned, that the Governor does
not feci called upon to exempt magistrates within the con*
script age from military service, inasmuch as the Legislature
had that subject under consideration and did not provide
for it in their Act.
. By order of the Governor.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
EXECUTIVE "^VARTMENT,
Comjjibu, June 16,1883.
OUR vandal foe, unable to cope with
the Conn derate forces In the open field, have resorted
(on mode of warfare which arouses the indignation of
every heart capable of a patriotic emotion. Not content
with wresting peaceful cltlzons from their homes and confining
them In loathsome dungeons, and with seizing our
contented slaves arid inhumanly placing them in military
organizations, to be shot down in the front of battle, they
have inaugurated a system of raids Into the interior of the States,
stealing negroes, burning cities ahfl farms, destroy-,
in; Jive stock and growing crops and spreading desolation
everywhereJn their track. To meet this condition of
things, and to render practicable greater concentration of
our forces already in the field, and atlbrd adequate Internal
protection to the States, the President of the Confederacy
deems It oxpedleut to call for a portion of their reserve force
for service within their respective limits. Upon the Governor
of South Carolina he calls for five thousand men, for
the period of six months from the first day of August next, .
to 1?h furnished by draft, unless in the intermediate tlnida volunteer
force, organized under the Act herewith published,
"To provide for tocnl defence and special service,"at
least an equal nnmber be mustered and reported to tha War
Department as subject to the call of the President for service
within the State.
These organizations may be voluntary, as will be seen
by on examination of the Act, and arc for special service
only within the State, under officers of their own selection,
nnd with the privilege of remaining at home in the pursuit
of their ordinary avocations unless cnlled for a temporary
exigency of active duty.
Now, therefore, I MILL EDGE L. BONHAM, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over the State of 8nuth
Carolina, call upon the people of tire State to assemble on
the day fixed in the annexed orders, at their respective
Beglincntal Parade Grounds, nnd ;p raise aud orgenlzo the
forces called for by the President for the defence of the
COTIC. r or two iniig ynurs, jruur utumutn uuv? i/uiii? uiv
brunt of tills war for Independence on the frontiers of the
Confederacy. The tltnc has now arrived to show yourselves
worthy of those gallant men by protecting their, homes,
their wives and their children, in common with yohr own.
Until the above organization takes place, it is recommended
to the citizens of the State to continue existing
voluntary organizations and to fortn immediately others,
with such arms as they have, for the protection of every .
neighborhood, especially along the rivers nnd arms of the
sea. Many a deadly volley may be successftilly delivered
at the raiders in their beats from the bluffs and forests 11-'
nine their hanks.
Immediately after the requisition of the President is filled,
the Governor will take steps for a more complete organization
for neighborhood protection, of such as are less fitted,
by years or otherwise, for the active dudes of a campaign.
