THE WEATHER. We were visited by a severe thunder/ storm on Sunday evening last; the rain was very heavy, prostrating the corn to a considerable extent in the town and neighborhood, and we fear doing muoh injory to the . bottoms throughout the District, if as general as we have reasons tq- believe. The weather has sin?e been sultry, threatening another visitation. ... ; I ' CHARLESTON ATTACKED. As will be seen by the news in another oolnmn, the Yankees have again attacked . our principal city, and the troops lately or-! ganized have been called out by the Governor, or ordered to be prepared to move to * ' the scene of action at the shortest notice. The call is imperative, and therefore any dissatisfaction that may exist as to the mode or manner of organization, should give way to stern necessity. The order of the Adjutant General for the troops to assemble at their respective muster grounds had every publicity, and therefore those who did not attend have themselves only to blame. It . ; would be something exti?ordinary if the burdens of a militia call should fall equal - ly on all?volunteering was the best course, - * - and It may yet be done ; -therefore, let there be a third oat of the two companies in the 7 District already formed, and show by acts V that the King's Mountain country will not fail in patriotism, now that the trying hour J" is opon them. If we cannot drive the vandals from our seaports, let us keep them there; let us afford an asylum to the women and children, in our own families, and share the last orust with them; and let ail the mcu of the State stand shoulder to sh.oulder as a band of brothers in a good and holy cause?the protection of home and fireside. Let onr noble women who have ' < buckled on the armor of son, brother and ** . sweetheart, go still farther, let them bid father and husband Godspeed, and all will yet be well with onr country. THE NEWS. The news of the week is pregoaDt with interest The enemy has renewed the at tack on oar devoted city, and all eyes will now be turned in that direction, with more of hope, probably, than existed regarding ill fated Vicfesbnrg. The same system of : y" lying cannot deceive us here, bat we trust our people will be characterized with similar fortitude. Vicksburg has stood forth nobly, and probably submitted through great necessity; it has fallen, let us estimate it at its true importance, and endeavor, says the Richmond Whig to retrieve the calamity by greater efforts aDd more valuable successes elsewhere. Yet there is a hea/y weight of responsibility resting on somebody's shoulders, says the Savannah Republican, for the regular and systematic lylog that has been put upon the public regarding the ability of this place to hold out. The Western press, in the very vicinity of the unfortunate city, has been quite as bad- j ly imposed on as anybody else. We bave j forty times read reports, coming from Pem- j berton himself, that supplies were abundant, and ,tbe garrison could "hold out indefinite* ly." About ten days ago, the public Was ! assured, on unquestionable authority, that Kirby Smith had driven 800 beeves across the Mississippi into Vicksburg. This deception was kept up until the very eve of the surrender on account of starvation. "REFUGEE." We cheerfullv pive olace to a corumuni ? V Q r cation to day, over this signatory while we disclaim any intention of abuse to Refugees, proper, or their families. This is not a time to discuss positions, but one for action ; and affairs have transpired since the publication referred to, that almost speaks correctly for the meaning we intended to convey. We complained of the call on the npper Districts for slave tabor, while there were so many unemployed, and occupying the auction marts on the coast, becanse we thought the provisioning of the Army almost as necessary as its fortifications. We did not wish to spare the negroes, although $25 a month and provision was offered, as transportation would be saved by employing those on the spot, and already acclimated?because Orders were issued for companies to be organized for coast defence, 230 white men being the quota, for York District, and they are now ordered to be in readiness at a moment's notice, instead of the 1st of August, as at first proposed. The "Refugees," however, who we intended in our remarks, were those liable to and capable of military service in the field; and we repel the insinuation that our people have ever been charged with a want of hospitality, which would certainly be the case, if they did not welcome to their hearts and homes their less fortunate neighbors and friends. The "Refugee," doubtless, writes under the same sense of wrong that diotated our first article; so, with the disclaimer already made, we deem, at this time, when all should be band in hand to drive the invader from our State, there should be "peace, good will and forbearance within the borders." A GOOD WORK. By the Southern Presbyterian, we learn that the Ladies of the Yorkville Presbyterian Church have subscribed the sum of ?175.50, for the purpose of securing a life insurance to their Pastor, the Rev. M. D. Wood. In acknowledging their kindness, the Pastor says: ?I deem it a duty to make this acknowledgment, not only to express the thaoks of my heart to those no^le Christian women for their unexpected testimonial of regard, but to let the example go forth as worthy of general imitation. When the minister devotes his whole time to a congregation for a salary, which, however ample for his present wants, leaves no provision for a growing and dependent family, it is most pleasant to know that his anxieties are anticipated by those to whom be is breaking the bread of life. With greater peace of mind, and with an increasing j trust in God's gracious providence, he can prosecute his life work. May the kind ladies, whose pious hearts have prompted this provision for the support^f one of the Lord's bumble ministers, receive the blessing from Him who has said, "Who3oevgy shall give to drink unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, shall in no 6ise lose his reward." The Rev. Mr. Wood, we have learned since, is about to " take a place in tbe picA? -- *' Q?A/?floo hio loKnrn t lure, xur a truuc. uuuucno iu uia .uuu.u . The Battle of Gettysburg. We are happy, says the Richmond Exnminer of the 10th, to have the means of allaying the natural distress of the country on this subject. Information, certainly authentic, is in the hands of the Government, which leaves no doubt of the safety and triumph of the noble army. General Lee was victorious in all the combats which have taken place. He has been engaged with the whole force of the United States and has broken its backbone. He has approached Hagerstown only for the reasons suggested in this newspaper on yesterday? namely, that he must re-open and establish his communications, which have been menaced and partially interrupted. He is burdened with 13,000 prisouers, and has'on his bands all the wounded in the late sanguinary battles. Of these he must be relieved ; and he could not either weaken his army by a detachment sufficient to convey them into Virginia, or entrust them to an ordinary guard, in the presence of the Yankee cavalry. Hence he has drawn near to j his base with his whole force. In a few days these arrangements will be completed, and his losses will be replaced by reinforce ments. Then the campaign will continue ?and Hagerstown is nearer to Washington than Gettysburg. EDITORIAL ITEMS. ? The Guardian of Monday last, contains quite a respectable list of contributions to the Card Factory, from York District, in sums varying from SI to S5. We will forward and acknowledge any others. ?

Mr. Editor :?I have just read with astonishment and much regret, your article, headed "Help me, Cassias," &c.; in wbioh you attack us refugees, the Parishes, and the low country negro. I know not what the latter may have done to offend you : at home he is at least respectful, and his average standard of decency and morality is quite as high as that of his race anywhere else. But let that pass, CufFee oares very little about newspaper abuso. Not so with his owners; we feel the sting of unjust assault. We have always believed that a S. Carolinian would be regarded as a brother in every part of the State, especially so, when in distress. It is admitted that refugees from the sea-coast have not been kindly treated in certain localities ; but these are exceptions, and exceptions in which Yorkville is certainly not included, for we have received nothing but uniform kindness here. If we could be brought to believe that the desire yoa manifest to get rid of us, was shared by many others, we would feel it our duty as well as our interest to seek some other home.

If it is, I would ask if it is oot better than lugubrious countenances and doleful complaints? You insinuate that tho Parishes are not taking a sufficiently active part in the great battle for liberty and independence. .Now, sir, there is nothing more true than that no part of the State has sent more fighting men to the field than the Parishes, in proportion to population.

TRY. ? --v IV / " ^ ^ w THE ATTACK 05 CHARLESTON, From the Ctarieston Mercury, 11th Instant. THE ATTA-DK ON MORRIS I8LAND. Daybreak yesterday witnessed the opening of the second grand demonstration of the enemy against the City of Charleston. At that hour, i:be heavy and multiplied Yankee batteries on Folly Island, wbioh had been unmasked on Thursday, by the felling of the trees and the removal of the dense foliage whioh had hid them from view, opened a concentrated fire upon the nine -gun battery at the southern extremity of Morris Island, commanded by Captain J. C. Mitcbel, 1st Regiment S. C. Artillery. Our battery at once replied, and the cannonade that ensued was one of fearful violence and rapidity. Official despatches from Col. Simonton, at Secessionvilie, also announcing threatening movements of the enemy in the neighborhood of the mouth of the Stono ; but later intelligence showed these movements to have been mere feints, designed probably to divert our attention from the real point of attack, Morris Island. The accounts whioh we gather of the fighting at Morris Island are, as yet, neoessarily meagre and unsatisfactory. It seems that after inoro than three houw' incessant bombardment of Captain Mitchel's position, the enemy landed in barges at Oyster Point and advanced so as to nanx oar batter; on the right. The infantry supports for the battery were driven back, and Capt. Mitchel and his artillerists found themselves nearly eat off froui the main body of onr foroes. They bravely stood to their gnnB, however, up to the time: that the enemy bad actually gained their position, and then those of the gallant gunners who were still unhurt retreated, fighting as they retired, along the sand hills towards -Battery Wagner, whither their infantry supports bad preceded them. The enemy, having thas gained a foothold upon the Island, lost no time in moving towards Battery Wagner, whiob is a strong work constructed particularly for defence against a land attack, and running across the Island, some distance this side of the battery which had been abandoned. The enemy's infantry supported by their artillery and by tbe Monitors, whiob had now come within easy range, made several distinct attempts to carry onr works bjr assault; but each time they were handsomely repulsed, and finally retired to seek shelter and rent among the sand hills at the southern extremity of the Island. But the check which tbe Yankee infantry had received did not dismay their artillerymen or gunboats; and all day long the hoarse thunder of their ordnance, answered by the spirited fire of onr own guns from various points., including Fort Sumter, reverberated in tbe city and along the coast. At last accounts Battery Wagner was, in every material respect, uninjured. Of the enemy'4 losses in the action we bave do account. - Our own are estimated at about 300?killed, wounded and missing. cue situation. Charleston is un taken, and we judge that if onr people ;rise.ap at once to the emergency, it will not be taken. But to save it, prompt, daring, and desperate valor are now essential; and this must be backed and supported by as much ready labor as cud be employed in securing, upon the spot, frnits of the most vigorous operations against the enemy. In the present situation on Morris Island, time is our enemy, and the position of affairs should, we conceive, be changed in the shortest possible time, at any cost of life and labor. Upon this, airmay depend for Charleston and the State. The cost of circumspection and delay at this juncture is likely to bo ultimately tenfold that of bold aggression- Does it not put-onrcause upon the hazard of scientific engineering and gradual approach ? Let us learn from the foe, by the style of gallant attack upon the battery at Secession villa last year, how the Yankees, as yet witbout works, may be driven from Morris Island. While the opportunity lasts, and ere it is too late, wo venture to throw out this suggestion for what it is worth. Couid we re-take the south end of Morris Island, aDd quiokly build proper works, it would be better than staking our safety splely on Fort Wagner. from-coluuibla guardian, 13tli?special dispatch. "cnauleston, July II.?The enemy, 2,000 stroDg, made an assault on Battery Wagner at day-break this morning, ana after a sharp fight were driven back, leaving 95 dead in front of our works. We captured 135 prisonersj who have just been brought to the oity. The enemy lost several hundred wounded who were carried from the field. General Strong who led the Yankee charge is reported seriously wounded. Qar loss slight. Enemy maintaining a steady bombardment off Battery Wagner. Our troops in fine spirits." This was all the information received on that day. N Yesterday (Sunday) we received again a special dispatch to the following effect : Charleston, July 12.?The enemy has discontinued firing sinceyesterday afternoon and is now actively fortifying his position at the south end of Morris Island, below Battery Wagner. Fort Samter maintained a slow but constant shelling of the enemy's position. From Gen. Lee's Army. Richmond, July 8.?A speoial despatch to the Enquirer, dated Winchester, 7tb, says there has been four days fighting? commencing on tbo 1st and ending on the night of the 4th>?our men capturing the immense fortifications of the enemy. Our loss is estimated at 10.000. Between 8 and 4,000 of our wounded arrived here to night. Gens. Soales and Pender were wounded, and have arrived hero. The hills around Gettysburg are covered with the dead and wounded of the army of the Potomac. No official confirmation of the new& from- Martinsburg. Richmond, July 10.?A despatch from Martinsburg, dated yesterday, says that a heavy cavalry skirmish took plaoe the day before. We drove the enemy seven miles, capturing a number of prisoners. The army is quiet at Hagerstown. Richmond, July 10.?All our papers this morning give more cheering accounts from our army in Maryland. The uneasiness prevailing yesterday has given place to a feeling of confidence in the ability of Gen. Lee to resume the offensive. The Martinsburg correspondent of the Riohmonc Dispatch, writing under date of the 5tb instant, says : "All information of the. bat tie of Gettysburg received here was broagbl by Major Hawkes, of EwelPs Corps, who left Gettysburg Saturday mornidg. He says our loss on the first two days was nol very great. On Friday it was heavy, especially in Piokett's Division. General Trimble lost a leg and Gen. Hood an arm." Wounded offioers who arrived at Richmond yesterday says our army fell back with the greatest order and deliberation.? There was no demoralization. It is generally understood that our falling baok was caused by the great difficulties in obtaining supplies through so long a Hue of communication. Mabtinsborq, July 9.?Our whole ar my is at Hagerstown. All quiet there today. There was a cavalry skirmish yesterday. No information has been received of the whereabouts of the Yankee army. Maryland Heights have been re occupied by a small force of the enemy. An ordnanoe train has just passed through here to Geo. Lee, who is waiting for it.

Two monitors, three wooden gun boats and several transports with about 5,000 troops are said to have passed Sandy Point yesterday. No other news. The correspondent of the Whig at Winchester, July 8th, says: In Gen. J. Davis' brigade every field officer was wounded. Gen. Hood wounded in the arm by a frag, ment of shell, but it will be saved; Trimble, lost a leg, wounded in a previous battle? The following embraces a list of casualties: Col. 0. G. Groner, 61st Va., Regiment; Adjt. Campbell, 4th Miss.; Miller, 42d Miss.; Col. Smith, 55th N. C.; Kdmondston, 88th Ya,; Col. DeSaussure, S. C.; Col. Jones, 20th Ga., reported killed; Col.

The writer says the disadvantages of oar position at Gettysburg will be understood by saying it was decidedly worse than the position of the hostile forces in the first battle of Fredericksburg ?it was Fredericksburg reversed. Our loss has dwindled down astonishingly from the first report. Most of the wounds are in the hand, arm and leg. It is reported that Meade's army was concentrating near Washington. From our Army in the West* Jackson, July 6.?-The Miaaissippian extra of to day says: "We are pained to learn, on good authority, that the garrison of Vioksburg capitulated last Saturday morning. There was no assault. The enemy sprung mines, rendering farther resistance useless. The tfrms of capitulation are that the garrison,' numbering 17,500, shall bo allowed an auoepfable point on Big Black to await exchange. Officers are allowed to retain their side-arms. The Misshsippian says Grant's programme is to leave a heavy garrison at Vioksburg, and take the main body of his army North, which will enable Johnston to successfully defend Mississippi.

Despatches from Panola, dated July 7, state that Gen. Holmes attaoked Helena on the 4th, capturing three batteries. Reinforcements for the enemy afterwards arrived from below, which, with the fire from the guoboats, forced our troops back. Our loss was 500.? Heavy firing was heard in that, direction next day.
