The past week has been the most inclement, we have ever known in the month of June. Heavy rains terminated in a eold apeHoa'Monday and Tuesday, whioh made firo quite desirable. Tfao heavy winds have blown down much of the wheat and rye, but if the tost should not strike the former, and fkir weather prevail for a week or two, the wield will be an average one. The bot tomB ha?e been bo often submerged this season, that corn will now have to be replanted in them; the 15th of Jane is a late tiiftfr to plant, bat the chances- are now favorable from the moon's quarter. The grass seems overtopping all vegetation, bat energetio application will soon overcome it, if farmers-get bat half a chance. . THB BBSBBVBS.

Many of the old Reserves will remember the necessi< ty of having approachable officers, and irreproachable, and it may be they would like to have a vote in the matter, but it is their own business, so if they neglect it, it will be their own fault, and none of oursy aa we give this gratuitous notice.

But Yorkville is not alone interested ia this good work?those of the oountry should lead a helping band, and if they cannot go they could send suoh necessaries as will contribute to the general sou roe of relief. An organized system of visiting, migbt render thedaty iesp onerous, fant we trust the good work will continue, at least until the rush is over. The moral effect of such attention can not be Io3t on the numerous crowds of prisoners en route . for Georgia?they will see, if there is aDy spirit among them, that the women of the country are a9 strongly enlisted in the Confederate cause as the men, and that under the Providence of God, such a people cannot be Bobjugated. -There are ether claims on the liberality and sympathy of our oitizeros equally binding, in the several hospit ft] 8 and relief-boards of the State, and Confederacy,-but the present is more immediate, for we should not turn away the cofferers' from oor own doors, or the homes ? they have been protecting.

South 8ide, Jane 3d, 1864. _ , Bear EnquirerOar regiment is in the , trenohe's its fifteenth day, to-day. We-have changed our position three times since we ; came bore, and. we are now on the right .] wing) next the Appomattox river. We had j a quiet time until the 1st instant, when for ] truce was broken np by a heavy, cannona- , ding from our batteries, responded to by | those of the enemy. On the night of the ( day mentioned,, the enemy ceased to reply I to our cannonade, and we rather suspected 1 that most of their force bad been sept'to ( Grant, so at day light on the morning of the 2cd, our entire picket line in front, "Was ordered forward, to oharge the enemy's works, oooopy and hold them, if possiblo. At a given signal, onr advance took plaoe, and ( very Boon, on our extreme left, the rapid r firing of musketry told as our'line had struck' the enemy in that direction. Wo still moved forward, not yet meeting the enemy, bat the firing gradaally neared ns, until the left of our regiment was engaged, it met the enemy's picket's, and after a sharp and rapid fjgfSt, they were driven in, yitb a loss of 5 killed and two prisoners. Oar loss, two men severely wounded, as follows: in Co. K, Capt. Crawford, Black Davidson and J. A. Lockhart, none killed. In the meantime, the pickets of our regiment ma- } king a very extended line* and having to / 9 * pass through a densely covered swamp, be- g came separated, and the works of the enemy 1 bending off towards the river, in our front, c the right, with whioh was your correspondent, passed beyond the- line of works in t front, and to a distance of some lj-. miles ? from our own works y finding that our'left 1 was uncovered, we changed our front and ? sent a courier for orders, who returned with * V _i. All Lill. *_ r.A L. J an oraer to iaii dbck, as oar leic naa aireaay retarned to the rifle pits We returned in . good order, with the right wing_unhurt.? j Oar advance had accoaipliBhed the design t in one particular, in ascertaining the posi- t tio.n of the enemy's works, although forta- " nate in not striking the enemy. Oar entire ^ line was under command of Capt J. T. t Steele; the pickets of the regiment, under ] Cape. Win. Dnnovant. 1 The operations of the trgops npon our left 8 was of a more sanguinary cbaraoter. The 22d S. C. Y., led by their Colonel, charged ' the works of the enemy, capturing some 60 fi prisoners; but were repulsed from the ene- n my's main works, with some loss. Among 1 the killed was their brave leader, 0. M. jj Dantzler,. whose body has just been sent c into our lines this morning. He was brave t perhaps almost to rashness. I learn he used a gun, and by example urged his men for- j ward, leading apd fjring ag be went, almost t within the shadow of their huge fortificahnno TTia rdrrimnnf Qrill nfirllv misfl him. The whole Dumber of killed, wounded and ] missing in the 22d S. C. V., I learn is only 1 about 2?. Still to the left of that brigade, 1 the contest fraxed warmer. Ransom's North ' c Carolinians, Wiso's Virginians, and John- t son'B Tennesseeans, occupied the rifle pits of the enemy's pickets, oapturing in all c some two to four hundred prisoners, and in- ^ Aiding heavy loss upon the enemy. I can ' learn nothing definite, this morning, as to our casualties in those brigades. Rumors are as rife along $ line of battle, as in a f crowded city, and many of them entirely t unworthy of credence. During last night, t although the rain was pelting dot7n on our ? uncovered heads, the din of battle was heard ' a i_*v n : _l i i c i oq oar leis. vouimeociug siuwiy ui unst, u ? would inorease, until tbe mind ean conceive t of nothing as a comparison, except a fire v raging in a dozen cane brakes, when dry, ? and a stiff breeze stirring. I can assure ^ you there is nothing romantio in tbe sound p of it, to a man who has made tbe bottom of t a ditch bis bed, for fifteen nights, though ^ to tbe Yankee bugler, who stood inside tbe * ramparts of bis for^and sounded thecbarge i which was taken up by a drummer along c tbe line, it may have been. Our bo^rs al- c most understand their signals. In their 0 night attacks, an artiHery bugle, generally, is first beard, then some later, a drum, and t then comes the "tug of war." I have re- ^ ceived na oorrcot account of tho result of a the firing last night, bat rumor says they ? assaulted our lines four times and were re- ^ pulsed. One thing I know, we still bold o our lines and a portion of the Yankee line captured on yesterday. Oar men are beginning to feel the privations to which they are exposed-; & good many are siok, but many 8 are coming in daily, wnloh keeps us up to a ^ considerable extent. Oar men have labored j hard here. It'wonld appear almost inored- ? ible if I could describe the amouDt of work e they have performed, together with the a skirmish god pioket duty, which is exoued- ^ iogly heavy. We had some acoidents along the lines last night, Hugh Snerrer, of Co. k F, and one man of Co. E, were wounded, " the first in the arm, the last in the foot, by 81 the discharge of their own gnns. We aw now commanded by Brig. Gen. ^ Stephen Elliott, the hero of Fort Sumter. r, We are very favorably impressed with him I so far. The loss of Gen. .Walker is uni- J vereally regretted by all. Jostbefae he ^ fell hfto the hands of the enemy, he was in j advance of,the 17th S. Cf.
