This is the Sabbath, and the greatest quiet prevails throughout the beleaguered city. The old familiar ohimes are no longer heard, warning the worshippers to their respective ohurches, for the bells have long since changed their tunes from those of peace to "grim visaged war." The stores in the city are generally closed, while those that are open oontain bat few necessaries, at fabulous prices. Cooking utensils are particularly scarce, while those persons who are removing, refuse to sell theirs. There are a great many families remaining here, who probably have not the means to remove, or if they should, God only knows what would become of them, as they can still eke out a livelihood in their old homes. We are becoming familiar with the report of shot and shell, whioh has continued steadily since our arrival here, on last Saturday week : though, to-day we have heard no firing from either party. The Yankees, it is thought, can shell the city when they please, and though it may be burnt, 4he people have bo idea that it yll be taken or surrendered. The second "big gun" has reached here, and been tested satisfactorily, while the torpedo boat, which had sunk, has been raised and improved?from these probably too mnoh is expected. " The Salt Works are in fall blast aronnd the city, and there is no scarcity of the article. At Moant Pleasant it is sold at from $15 to SIS per bushel; a good many of our York Companies have purohased there, it costing fifty cents a bushel to bring it over here. The great difficulty is in getting transportation for it to Colnmbia, bat perseverance seems to*have overcome this.? Salt in the oity is held at mnoh higher figures, the maximum being 925. Our home folks should supply themselves at once, as ?i -i 1 i an excellent ariicie cau uuw ue juvuuiou.? It may probably be lower a month from now, if the Yankees should defer operations that long: if not, it will assuredly be much higher. Capt. Lowry's Company (B,) is at present stationed in a grooery building, 14 Hayne St., and Capt. Bowen's,,(K) at mother in Meeting, near the Artesian Well. The health of the meQ is generally good? some seven or eight have been exempted by the Surgeon in each -company, from physical disability. The musquitoes annoy us c very much, probably -tbey relish something -. ijfcoth, and the consequence ia a mcasley ap^r p'carance throughout the camp. Your correspondent, by no means overburthened with flesh and blood, is as rough in the forehead as a nutmeg grater. It is suggested hr ?nms that tn.p.nsles would be ^referable. as the Doctor might prescribe "something to drive them out." Orders have been issued from Headquarters to enforce the attendance of the drafted men who remain at home, which will be strictly oarried out. The turn out, howevever, has been pretty general, and all seem to have hopes of furloughs being granted to enable them to return home to sow their wheat?on what grounds these hopes are based, I am at a loss to know, certainly not through any action of the Legislature.? "What we were brought here for at all is yet to be seen; our duties are not onerous, but when we draw our arms there will be more drilling doubtless, and the monotony of Camp life relieved There will be less time to think of the dear ones at home, less to grieve over our suffering interests. The Charlestonians "are slow- in organizing their quota of the 5000. Last week an election was held for officers; in oDe company but seven votes were cast, and the next day the Captain got a furlough for twenty days! From appearances every citizen is a soldier, an officer, I mean, for the privates are "over the hills and far away," if ever they had an existence. If General *F?eauregaTd's order relative to persons wearing nnifprms or badges which they are not entitled to was enforced, the plumage would he plucked from many a jackdaw now strutting the streets much to their own selfglorification. * I will endeavor to keep your readers posted as to what transpires, proper to be written. The boys on Mount Pleasant are in good health and spirits. The 17th have * moved to a point six miles distanteCearer the "flashing of the guns." Gen. "Evans was in the city on Friday?he is under ar^ rest. . E.^' Mr. Dayton, U. S.

The.following Acta were passed daring the Session of the Legislature, whioh adjourned on the 30th ult., after a session of eight days. An Act to prevent desertion from Confederate or military service, and evasion of oonsoription. An Act to provide for volunteer companies of mounted infantry and for other purposes. An Act to provide for the election of members of Congress of the Confederate States of America, from this State. An Act to amend an Act to supply negro labor for coast defence. The time fixed for holding the election of members to Congress, is, we believe, the Tuesday following the second Monday in October. IV 1US XUU UUllQS|fUUU6Uk) VI vuv JJ1Ierpool Journal, writing on the 11th September, says: "It is certain that the Florida brought over a couple of Southern diplomats, delegates of Jeff. Davis. One of them, very long-legged, sallow and wiry, I myself saw a few days ago. He spoke very confidently of the suocess of the Confederate oauBe, with great familiarity of the Emperor, and with much admiration ofhimself. He said that he had been to Biarritz to deliver instructions to Slidell, who was in constant communication with the Empress; and that his fellow-envoy from the Confederacy had not arrived in Paris, but was awaiting at Nantes the arrival of orders from his superiors. He told me, moreover, that the said envoy had come to assist, if not replace, Slidell in his mission to the Tuilleries; and that Europe wonld be astonished "some day" when it should come to learn the name of that plenipotentiary. unTmrtBTAT. rmfuro rn/AAvmif ii aa iiihw ?
