BAEN^ ' WELL. v We have received the mournful intelli* x geuce of the death of this geDtleman in Virginia, where he bad just resigned his position as Agent of the Central Bureau Association for Soldier's Belief; and, almost immediately after, the death of his accomplished lady. He was a graduate, and recently a professor in the South Carolina College; but since the war, his energies and lift has been devoted to the cause of his country, and the interest and well being of the soldiers who were fighting its ' battles. No one could oarry into exeoution ^ ' more devotedness of spirit, or more disinterestedness of self, as the sequel has shown; and the good man has falfen in the good -fight, deserving as he receives the tributary tears of an entire people. Of his lady, we can only speak as one who was likely a provA per helpmeet for m noble a gentleman; like Ruth, she has fulf'led the promise, and they repose doubtless, side by side in the silent grave yard, where more than the pilgrim's weary feet should mark their resting place. THE MILITIA CALL. The Regiments of Militia throughout the <. _j. ouue, arc ouiteu uu iu usseiuuuc ?i men icspective master grounds on Tuesday next, the 7th instant, in order to famish their \ quota of 5000 troops called Mc by the Preset ident of the Confederacy for ^tatc defence, by volunteering or draft. The quota of the 34th Regiment is 110, and that of the 4Gth, ?, both in York District. There are also two Regiments in Cbester, the 26th being called on for 70, and the 27th for 65. Lancaster has but one, whose quota is 95 : these three neighboring Districts may, likely be formed into a battalion. - Endeavors will be made to fill up the required number fyy volunteers, on, if not before the day specified, which we hope will prove successful. When the returns are made to the Adjutant General, the companies will be organized into Regiments by the election of their Field Officers, and as such mastered into Confederate service. It is to be hoped that our successes will preclude the necessity of the militia going into the . -field, but we think it very probable that they will be sent to Charleston for at least a portion of the sir months service rermired. as v * ' 7 1 / it appears a war of invasion is now contemplated with the troops already in service.? It is as well to be prepared to do onr duty with wilting hearts. THE NEWS. * The news comes slowly in from the scenes of war, but what we have is by no means discouraging. At Vicksburg our friends continue confident, Peraberton having provisions enough to last him several months? all seem content to wait a "good time coming." Grant's ditches are within 100 yards of our fortifications in one place, but it is said "nobody is uneasy about this?he was mining, and Pemberton countermining." Perfect confidence prevails among our men, who are fully able to hold Vicksburg as long as they have anything to eat. Our total loss at Vicksburg, in all the assaults, is 625, of whom only 122 were killed.? Gen. Johnston has not materially changed his position, his right is at Yazoo City and his left at Bolton's, on the Southern railroad, west of Jackson. There were signs of an early movement manifest, but Gen. J. provokingly continued reticent as to the direction. If he only succeeds in getting from the authorities the help he asks, the campaign will be a short but brilliant one. Our privateers are doing good business on the high seas, and more than compensate for the losses of blockade runners. The 'additions that have been made to our marine, promise a nucleus around which a gallant little Navy may soon cluster. The papers are filled with the exploits of the Alabama, and the little Florida comes in for a goodly share. The Yankees are bunting them liko a soldier a day's work, fearful they may succeed. Active movements are in progress in, Middle Tennessee; though our forces were compelled to fall back at Wartrace, they were reinforced sufficient to regain theiflost ground, with the exception of Hoover's Gap, a place of some importance. Rosencrans is .said to be advancing bis whole force, with a view to battle; though he has been strongly reinforced, the issue we look to confidently. From Virginia, or anything a3 to the doings of our army in the North, we have , nothing but speculation, though we look ! every jaail, like Mr. Micauber, in Bulwer's novel, for "something to turn up." "Re- j cognition," every now and then pops up, j and down again; and "Peace" is the general chorus at the North. Senator Wall, of New Jersey, UBesthe following language "The fact cannot be disguised that the sentiment of the country is overwhelmingly for peace. It is opposed to sacrificing any longer at the shrine of this hideous Moloch of Abolitionism?war." / ' In reply to this, the Riohmond Whig says: "We do not shut our eyes to the growing evidences of the truth of suoh as: sertions as this. Rut, though 'the country' i may be overwhelmingly for peace, the Administration at Washington is overwhelmingly Jtor war, and the Administration is the master of the country. It holds the pnrse and the sword?it wields the army and the navy; nay, it is at this very time compelling the country, that is for peace, to swell the ranks of the army, that is for war/ To understand the situation, then, and to determine our own duty and policy, we must look not to the country, for which Senator Wall speaks, bat to the country's master, the Government at Washington, and his instruments, the armies in the Held. Look ing to them, we see nothing but war?and peace only as the result of their overthrow and destruction. If we can destroy the forces under Hooker, Grant and Kosencrans, we may look for peace. If we cannot, we must still expect war." 'HELP ME, CASSIUS," &C. The low country negro is very often a nuisance in these parts. Unused to the kindness and staid humility required, and voluntarily exhibited by the blacks in this section, they show a non-chalanoe at once in keeping with the habits of many of their fugitive masters. * We are not the State, nor yet can the Parishes say they are; for many hold their state in stranger halls, and cry loudly for help, from "kerns and gallowglasses." At a time like this, it certainly becomes our low country friends to turn their own shoulders to the wheels, then call on Hercules, if help be needed. But we, of the up country, have been blessed by large crops with but few to gather them ; we are again oalled on to take the field of danger, to protect the untided rice fields, while the negro marts are crowded with plantation negroes, for the block. We are not disposed to grumble, but we do insist, that the coast has slave labor enough to suit its purposes, and they have neither right or title to any assistance in that respect from the up-country. We will fight tkair koHloa no tDP hftWP ilnnp. h?t Wft Will buyii VHVVIVWj MW IT V MM > v wV ? Vj w-_w ? ? -- do it as freemen, while they may save their negroes, and we protect ours. We have no negroes to spare for the ooast j in fact, bat few freemen. If the outers will go, we have no objection. THE CURRENCY. We learn from the Richmond papers, that the flurry occasioned by the action of 1 the Richmond banks, (as alluded to ns in a condemnatory article a week or three 1 since) in excluding from their transactions 1 the Treasury notes issned prior to December 1st last, has subsided, and the people are circulating the discredited notes as free- 1 ly as if the banks oontinued to receive them on deposit. This conflicts with the theory and expectations of the Treasury Depart- < meet, but nevertheless, is as beneficial to 1 our financial system as it is creditable to the ' community, who thereby manifest their < confidence in the currency. If the Depart- i ment wish to deplete their circulation, let them offerfinducements of bonds yielding ^ interest payable in cotton or gold?compul- 1 sion will not do. ( EDITORIAL ITEMS. ? Joseph A.

What has become of the Uuion Prayer ' meetings? If Charleston is safe, have we 1 nothing more to pray for ? ? The weather during the past week has been too showery for any purpose. The corn cries out enough, and the harvesters ' are anxious to get in their heavy wheat ! crops. Unless we have a week or so of dry weather soon, we will be much disconcert- 1 ed; but we have to, and do, take things as they eorae, with all the philosophy we oan ' muster. ? Capt.

FBOM THE 17TH BEGT., S. C. V. Picket Post on Canton Road, J Near Jackson, Miss., June 20th, 1863. > Dear Enquirer:?Mnch to our relief, bat very unexpectedly, we have been kept from the "roar of battle and the olash of arms," up to this time, quietly resting upon onr oars?how long we are to remain in our secure status deponent saith not; but from appearances, such as the completion of pontoon bridges?the equipment of commissary trains, &c., he thinks the day of tribula tion will not be long delayed. Glen. JohnstoD takes things easy?appears to be in no harryj bat is doing much in the way of organization and equipment, more than appeared possible under the oircamstanoes. Quarter Master's stores are being distributed bountifully, and batteries are being equipped and furnished with the best "carriage horses" of the Mississippi planters. We have any quantity of rumors in camp, among others, that our regiment and the Holcombe Legion are to be consolidated.? This may be the case soon, but I hardly think it wiil take place until the fate of Vicksbarg is decided. Some dissatisfaction will, no doubt, be occasioned for awhile, but as the thing is becoming frequent - in the army, and good reasons exist for it, it will, no doubt, be submitted to with a better grace than we at first supposed. Different reports are current in regard to the amount of subsistence in the bands of the garrison at Vicksbarg. I have settled down to the conclusion that there is about 40 days rations on hand from this date, and if such is the case, there will be ample time to mature arrangements for its relief. The health of our regiment and company is good, such is the case with all the "old regiments" of the Brigade. The 26th S. C. V., 1 understand, is passing through its second acclimation to "mother earth," and is suffering some little from sickness, but not as seriously as might be expected. We have iu this army two splendid brigades from the Old Palmetto, and one from the Old North State. The inhabitants around seem to think we of the "Palmetto" are' calculated to perform anything iu the way of prowess and valor. Oar company (F,) has been on picket for the past two weeks, and your correspondent has been enjoying himself hugely in the advantages offered by this duty to "forage j" he has, also, met up with some of the noble emigrants from old York ; among whom we may mention Mrs. Taylor, the daughter of our old Ordinary, Benjamin Chambers, Esq. Carolinians still ffnd a warm greeting wherever and whenever they meet their friends from the "Fader-land."

The President of the Confederate States having made a call on South Carolina for 5000 troops for State defence, and the Governor having issued his Proclamation calling this Regiment together on the 7th July to furnish its quota by volunteering or draft, a 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 tbo 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 so at that time. The list can be found at the "Enquirer" Office. THOMAS J. ECCLES, et. al. . June 1863. j; xuouuui wujut?Myu? The Hilton Head correspondent of the New York Herald, writes as follows: A small expedition sent from the First Sonth Carolina Negro Volunteers to the inland waters of Georgia, ten days since, was obliged to return in consequence of the open insubordination of the negroes. In a melee resulting from positive mutiny, two negroes were killed by the bfficers, while the officer in command was almost beaten to death by a negro before the would be murderer was shot down. The mutineers 1 were put in irons cn their return to.Hilton i Head. On another scooting expedition < from Port Royal Ferry to the mainland, in i the excitement of the moment a negro ao- i cidentally discharged his musket and in. i stantly killed Lieut. Gaston of the First S. i Carolina, who was ahead of him. This sad I affair gave the rebels notice of the approach J of a hostile fleet, and the object of the ex- 1 pedition failed in consequence. / 1 * ? ; - ] Richmond, June 25.?An immense de- i mocratio meeting has been held at Spring- | field, Illinois. One hundred thousand per- i > ^ " f *'- - r. r ' *' - v_ sons were present. Richardson was President. Speeches were made by Voorheea, Cox and others. The administration was denounced, and the retarn of Vallandigham was demanded. Resolutions were passed declaring Illinois a sovereign power) and opposed to the prosecution of the war for the restoration of the Union, and calls for a national convention. The departments at Washington are packing their archives. Prom the War. Mobile, Jane 22.?A special dispatch to the Register from Jackson to-day says that on Saturday Grant made another heavy assault on Yicksburg and was repulsed with a loss of ten thousand. The enemy has evacuated Grand Gulf. His troops passed to the west side of the river. John Fobsyth. Jackson, June 24.?Several private letters received from Vioksburg of the 17th state that the utmost feeling of confidence exist in tbeir ability to resist any assault, and that onr entire loss including Wednesday's fight, was six hundred and twentyfive. j Among the killed were Col. Garret and i Capt. Gould of the 20th Alabama. The shot of Grant's batteries never injured any one, many of which go over the , oity and plunge into the river. Even la- ' dies came out of their houses at night to witness the bombardment, which was represented as being perfeotly grand. All concur in the statement that the garrison is bountifully supplied with provisions. Fall rations are still issued. Jackson, June 19.?About 120 prisoners arrived here this evening, taken bv Logan, at Jackson, La., daring his law raid. * They report the slaughter at Port Hud- J son as enormous. ' One of the officers says he lost two thirds of bis command in one attacK. i Official despatches state that General , Chalmers sunk three transports below Mem- j phis on the 20th, and disabled Anothev. Pemberton receives, troops and supplies across tho river every night. Jackson, June 26.?A staff officer, jrho left Visksburg on Monday, reports the garrison is closely besieged. The enemy keep up a constant fire, which is more severe than formerly, as they have better range of the town. One entire blook on Washington street was destroyed by incendiaries last week. Every means has been taken to disoover them, without success. The sappers and miners on both sidekare hard at-work. They can hear the sounds ' of each other's pidks. The report that two ladies'have been'killed by the bombard- ? ment is untrue?do citizen has been injur- ' ed. * A special despatch to.the Mississippian, ' dated Grenada, 25th, says Maj. JlcGibbon, of the Federals, was arrested in disguise at , that place. He was reported to the Provost Marshal last week as having left Memphis on business, on a promise of ten thousand dollars reward if successful. A nam- ber of goods en route to Memphis have been seized by the Provost Marshal. 0 Trains are running again to Panola. Jackson, Jane 26.?Advices from | Vioksbarg, of the 23d, have been received; There was no assault upon the works last j Saturday, as< reported, but every gun from . Grant's works and fleet was brought to bear on the devoted garrison. The fire was kept j up from 2 o'clock a:' m. till 10 a. m. Our gunners responded briskly. The Yankees ~ admit our fire to have been very destrue- tive, And the accuracy of our gunners uq- H equalled. Our loss was 75 killed and f wounded. o Brisk firing is goiog on at Vicksburg to i night. Richmond, .Tune 25.?Ten transports < appeared at the White House this morning, ' and landed a small force. It is reported that the Federals have advanced as far as Tunstall's. No apprehension is felt in official circles. Efficient measures have been taken to repel the advance, if attempted. j Imboden has destroyed all the workshops, ' machinery, locomotives and cars on -the fi Cumberland, and every bridge from Little g Capon some distance west of the Cumber, r land. The immense tunnel was destroyed, and the great iron bridge knocked to pieces. This is the greatest blow of the kind ever given them. The correspondent of the New York * Herald of June 18th,. says Hooker's army b has suffered untold miseries from beat, e dust and want of water. The whole country is- filled with stragglers. The men t could not be kept in ranks. No coaxing or " threatenings. could prevail on them to move on. There were many thousand cases of u sunstroke, of which hundreds were instantly ,n fatal. ? - ? :? Steamers for the Confederates.? ^ Wo learn that another batch of our swift river steamers have been purchased during the past week on account of the Confede* rate Government. We believe the steamer Mail, plying on the Eilmun station, will h shortly be withdrawn, having been sold for B ?7,000. The favorite steamer Jupiter, so ql loDg known on the Largs, Millport, and -v Aaron route, has also been purchased for something like the sum of ?6,000.
