ACCOMMODATING. 4 the mail train oh the CB&rlotte road teaches Cheater about 11 o'clock, p. m., . * * hut the enterprising spirit of our friends , of the CoJtimhia Guardian and Carolinian, has led theta to fdTWai'fl their l&jjers by Express, through Which means we receive them every day at 2| o'clock, j, : p- m., anticipating the regular mail at lbaat fifteen hours. Such a Spirit of accommodation should be fully Appreciated by our people, as it is by us. 'c ?. ??. ? - NEWS OP THE TO*, The neWS, which we copy pretty fully to-dst^ ff dm telegraphic sources, is very encouraging. Our successes in Virginia, so far, are undoubted, the enemy uuiyiag^ iieeu anrea pacjc an every auaffttift, and Grant's game effectually Bidckedffor the .present; if there were - any doubts, on the subject, apart from the false reports of the Northern press, the fact of Lmcoln's calling for 200,'troops, would settle the matter. From ajl appearances, this will be the fest "on to Richmond;" Grant express^ his Willingness and determi?t*ten td fight out the war on his present lines, if he cap keep them, and the most desperate ends Trill be resorted to, to carry the * to-Tailed Confederate" <spitol, even if it should be, as reported, 'i the withdrawal of Sherman's forces from Northern Georgia. Butler is said to be leaving Chester Station, with his troops, to reinforce Grant, when, of course, Beauregard will reinforce Lee, bat that point will not be left unprotected, we presume, to afford other opportunities of attack from new levies tTurt mAv h* collected at Gitv Point.? The enemy hare only been successful in a few of th^ir raids on little unprotected tOWUS and railway stations, but always repulsed by our arnjs whem met, bOWorer insignificant in numbers. The i losses on both sides have been heavy, hut that of the enemy trebling ours, j According to their own acknowledgments?the wounds of our men are generally very slight. We base our remarks on the undoubted authority of Oea. Lee, himself though there*are croakers here, as every place else, who, reading Yankee ie\s s, are so wise as to m'ak'e calculations of our situation by amalgamating and then equally dividing tho accounts of both parties, to deduce, as to them, adcbunt. We have -Xla* f-ft 1 _ ,v .1. .0* dq nope w convince inese men or error, nor are i^re W uncharitable to suppose that "the wish is always father to the I thowg'itr," so we dismiss them. Jn GOfcrgia, Gen. Johnston is playing hid oMJjame of "shut-mouth,".fighting, and falling hack; but in every instance, jtseems the enemy has been severely punished, and while he is tolling them on with lengthening lines, he is still contracting his own, and will be prepared, it is said, in due season, to bring on a general engagement, which it is confidently asserted will prove most successful. In conversation with officers ~fiwnt the Aimyf wrfcma that the falling baek, wan originally a part of Geiy Johnston's programme, and that Ins movements are fully Understood in Richmond. "We see that Gov. Brown hi&s caHed out the entire militia, to report ait Atlanthj and Savannah, thus Gen. Johnston will be enabled to relieve a large portion of his force of guard duty and police, and strengthen his command with gallant veterans'. If Sherinaji ana bis iorces do not t"ii back, or are not withdrawn, we ma'y look for stirring nawa in a few days? "Both arraife8," says the Macon, Ga?4 Confederate, "are in a right angled triangle, the base of which is the line of railroad on the Etowah, running from Kingston to Rome?the perpendicular line is the railroad from Resaca to Kingston, and the hypot^eneuSels the "Oostanailla river, running from Rome tp Kesaca. When the grand battle docs occur, if the Yankees are defeated, as we have no doubt they \yll be, we prophesy that Ao more than twenty thousand will ever reach Ghattanooga. Gen. " Johnston by his strategy has taken s.uch a position that if defeated he is no worse off than he would have beAn at Dal ton, while if successful he will have the army of the enemy at his mercy." f The ClfoKnian says, it is stated thai the Yankees for some reason did not?nter Rome, but' commenced a retrograde movement a short time after thej had arrived in front of the city. If this be trhe it would appear that there is something going oh in Sherman's rear which- renders him uneasy. From the trans-Mississippi we can get nothing official as to either Banks or Steele's positions, whefhet captured or hot?one thing only is certain, they are not together, and separately are in no condition to do us serious harm.-^Marmaduke and Price - are said to be after Steele, but of the latter we know as little as the former, all we can gathr I or from anv of the Darties is all specu ? - ? y A * letion, to- which, probably even the Yankee lies *?n give no clue. At Charleston, the usual shelling is carried on, at short intervals, with little or no damage, and casualties rare. An attempt was ma#6 to ctit the wires between Sumter and Fort Johnson last Sunday, but a few well direeted shot sent the Yankee boats howling, as usual. One day last week, the blockaders were highly decbrated by their colors of every hue being displayed, and 100 'guns were fired, in honor of the "capture of Petersburg," and the rout of Lee on his flying back to Richmond! and yet a call for 200,000 more troops. P^ICIAL CHAttCnSB. General D. H. Hill, we are pleased to see, led a command in the attack on Petersburg, under General Beauregard, in which he exhibited his Usual tg.cc an A. courage, rendering the most efficient aid on that occasion. This will set at rest the frequent inquiry, why he was not assigned to duty in this emergency. Lieut. General Pcmberton, has resigned his position, as such, and been assigned to the coinmand of the Artillery forces in and around Richmond. In this connection, we would state,that General Chesnnt has been appointed'to the command of the South Carolina State Troops, as Brigadier General, and intends issuing orders shortly for the organization of the Regiments, and election of Field officers. It i$ said, there .is a strong probability that those "between 46 and 50," engaged in agricultural pursuits, $dll be ajlpwed to remain at their employments, unless some unforeseen emergency arises.. nmarnjPQQ VWA1 UXVJUWWi But little attention is now paid to the proceedings of Congress, and it may be well enough, for but little is doing, further than making provision for the outstanding notes, and authorizing the Secretary of thevTreasury to-issue in the new currency one for every tfiree dollars of the amount funded. . The subject of the hakeem corpus is on the carpet, and Mr. Foot is blowing hard for its repeal, but he is blowing against the wind. The President has sent a message to the House stating that the reasons given in his special message last session exist in an undiminished force at the present juncture, and ; that prudence requires a continuance of the suspension. The effects of the law have been most satisfactory, and to that law in a considerable degree are we indebted for the increased efficiency of military preparations which have enabled our gallant armies, under the providence of God, to beat back the invading forces, which still threaten us. A resolution was received from the Committee on Military Affairs, instructing the Judicary Committee to inquire what further legislation was necessary to prevepjt the publication, in newspapers, -Of information in regard to the Army and Navy movements,. After a brief discussion, the resolution was adopted. They will adjourn about to-morrow. ^OJJTL DEAD AND WOUNDED. Col.

Richmond,. May 20.?Up to three o'clook yesterday, nothing of interest ooonr, rod. About (bat time Gem Ewell moved forward in force oaao-armedfreoonnoisssnce towards tfaaeoumy's right flank. About 5 , o'clock our skirmishers engaged those of the enemy a.little west and north of the road leading from Spotsylvania Conrf House (p Fredericksburg. The enemy then brought ^ heavy force consisting of Hanoobk's, 2d, and a large pert of Barnsides' 9th corps, and heavy artillery. Troops were drawn from the defences at Washington and armed as infantry. A considerable fight ensued, and at one time oar line, of skirmishers had possession of the enemy's wagon train, bat were oompelled to relinquish possession of it, not however antil we had sent and brought some off. The fight lasted until nine o'clook at night, when Ewell fell baok to his original position, having lost in the engagement about one hundred and fifty wounded, and about thirty killed.. Few missing. Prisoners report that the enemy lost much heavier, and we oaptnred abont one hundred prisoners. Not a gun has been fired to-day. It is supposed that Grant is awaiting reinforoe-. ments in order totenew the fight. .. Spotsylvania, May 19 via Chesterfield, May 21.?Yesterday morning about day the enemy with a considerable force of picked forces, assaulted Qur left wing. The attaok, however, was quite feeble, and we readilv reoulsed them with alicrht loss on oar side, bat considerable slaughter of the enemy. The fight lasted aboat one and a half hoars. Daring this-engagement we captured aboat sixty prisoners and the enemy left oyer two hundred dead on the field. Last night the enemy moved from oar left, leaving their dead nnbnried. They seemed to be massing on oar right, eitbpg for the parpose ef attaoking as again or to fall back. After the fight of yesterday, on oar left, the enemy opened a vigorous cannonading on oaf right wing to whiab we responded, and a fierce artillery duel was kept np for two hoars, oar side, however, losing , very slightly. Oar men to day are busy collecting the arms on that part of the field abandoned by the enemy. Many arms are being obtained which were buried by the cneqay- Yesterday evening there was some oavalry fighting near Gainea Station, bat all amounted to very little. To-day matters have been qaietallday. Yesterday Meade Bent a flag of trace to Gen; Lee, thanking him foil sending him Wadsworth's body, for wbioh be applied by flag of truce during the Wilderness fight. . Hanover JonoIiion, May 22.?Grant nnmmnnnnd nroinrrincr hia mlnmnn nrrmnd on oar right op Eriday. Yesterday morniqg Grant's forces oooupled Milford Station ami Bowling Green. Yesterday evening aboat dark, General Wilcox, in front of Spotsylvania C. H., threw forward a portion of his forces and entered the enemy's breast works, and fopnd them held only by a line of skirmishers, Grant's whole army being rapidly in motion on onr right flank. This necessitates counter movements on oar side, and the abandonment of the battle gronnd in front of Spoteylva'nia G. H. Grant seems manoeavering for a position nearer Rich mond. The enemy is reported to have cat loose from Fredericksburg as a base, and has established depots at Port Royal and Rappahannock. Ijlome little artillery firing has been heard in the direotion of Chesterfield to-day, the cause ef. which is not explained. Milledgevjlle, Ga., May 18.?rGov.
