THE WEAT^EB.
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. .

the old Reserves will remember the necessi<

and it may be they would like
to have a vote in the matter, but it is their

Charlotte rail road, and we are pleased to
see from the number of ladies who go down
to Chester daily, that they are not unmindful
of the calt to doty, in assisting their sisv
ters of that "place. 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. We want help
from the country.
Cannot provisions^be furnished from the
stores at the Depot, to soeh of the ladies
as will* bare them prepared? We learn
this is done in Chester, why not here ?

T.Hi*i NEWS.
W? have hud but little "stirring," since
our last, Oofosn the telegraphic head may
ehow it to-day. The Yankees tried a raid
on Petersburg, bat failed in their attempts
oo that place,. lb on gb tbey managed to get
uncomfortably close at fiort?they overran
our pickets, but were kept in check by the
mili'ia, until the regular forces oame up.?
A tight rein, should be kept on them, as we
.presume will be the case, after this. It will
be seen tbet a raid is anticipated on Hamburg
and Augusta, and the "busy note of
preparation" is heard from that quarter;
where the raideta are to start from is in the
dart, but it is well enough to he prepared
for them io every quarter. Sherman, it is
. .-aid, is inatruoted not. to risk a general engaget^eDt
with Johnston, bnt is probably
only r^ung for reinforcements?which is a
game that two can playa*. Lee and Grant
are mapocuyering with parallel lines, though
it ia said "that the whole strength of Yan<keedom
will bo concentrated against Richmond,
in one grind.attack; a farmer reports
to the Richmond Enquirer, that Grant says
"he will try Lee a few,da'y3 loDger,. and if
he cannot succeed, he (Lee) might take his

The war on women continues unceasing;

1TBW BOOKS.
We have reoeived from the Publisher^,
' Burke, Boykin & Co., of Macoo, Ga.,
the following works, which are neatly gotten
np in paper covers, and easily Boat by
mail to any quarter; "Master William Mitten,"
by Judge Longstreet; "Camp and
Field," byBev. Joseph Cross; "Young
Marooners," by Rev. Franois R. Goulding;
pronounced by good judges to.be eqnal to
Robinson Crusoe; and "Demean Adair,"
by Mrs. Jane T. H. Cross, whieh we lately
published in this paper.
We have not bad time to peruse these
volumes, but we can promise ourreaders,
from the great appreciation they have met
with from the press at large, that a oonsidrable
treat awaits them (especially the
ypuDger portion) if they take advantage of
the advertisement which is published in
another eolumn.-. It is well that in these
times of paper scaroity, and manual labbr,
that sufficient enterprise has been wakened
to overcome snch difficulties, and we there
fore trust the publishers will be fully rewarded
for what they have done, that they
may be induced to oontinue in the good
work of providing our own literature.
We snail iase pleasure iu uuuuiug an
new works that may be scat us, and keeping
our reading community advised of the
whereabouts of publishers. Some publishers
make their favors dependent in the
publicati^i of long prospectuses, which we
decline, as our columns belong to our subscribers
who geijprally buy the new publications'on

We are gratified to learn, says an exchange,
from Dr. Cullan, Medical Director
of the First Army Corps, that Gen. Longstreet
is rapidly recovering from the effects
of his wound received in the battle of tho
Wilderness, and expected to report for duty
in the conrsc of eight or ten days.
? It is stated that Gen. Whiting, suspended
for intoxioatiop, has been ordered to
report to Geo. Lee, and will assume an active
field command. Apropos to this, the
Confederate Baptist remarks, that Yankee
courage is ptimplated by whisky, "but our
own noble soldiers need no suoh inspiration
?although some of their officers, unfortunately,
have-tried it, and thus found themselves
hors du combat." Good, brother B.

? The Wayside Home, at Charleston, is
a noble institution. Not long since, four

infant at the breast, were fbnnd homeless
in the streets, in search of their hifebandsj
they were taken and provided for by the
matron of the Institution, in acoh a way as
elioited their gratefal expressions of gratitude.
Such an institution should be supported
as worthy of all charity.
? From the demonstrations that are being*
made on Richmond, wbieh will require
counter-action on the part of the Confederaoy,
we think it probable the State Reserves
will be called out in July. Arrangements,
so far as possible, should be made with that
view.

J
a?* The Guardian cannot forbear expressing
regret at the.diiatoriness of tfya
Treesnry Department in paying soldiers and
other creditors. Such mismanagement is
a flagrant shame. No excuse' dan be git en
in extenuation of it. Many of the poor
soldi ere heard on Tuesday, with a heavy
heart, that there was no money with which
to liqnidate their claims, -and help them alongon
their weary journey. Wo see with
pleasure that Congress has passed a Bill increasing
the pay, for one year, of the noo
commissioned offioere and privates. Now
let the Treasary Department spur up and
settle all arrears promptly.'' The country
will bear no more excuses.
! 17TH REGIMENT S. C. V.
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

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

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. V., waving bil b
sword, ani calling out to them, ?b*w $

Richmond, June 13.?p. m.
Grant has again changed his base.
He begafl. moving to our right last
night about dusk, and began crossing
at Long Bridge about twenty miles below
Richmond, on the Chickahominy. '
This morning our cavalry fought the
enemy's advance near Ridges' Shop,
about fifteen nliles below here, an 1 owing
to the superior numbers of the enemy,
were compelled to pve hack.
The enemy were landing supplies and
reinforcements just below Malvern Hill
last'night.
There' has been no general- engagement
to day. j ->
About one hundred and fifty prisoners
were captured to day. in the eveningabandoned
breastworks) wfeieh have
been brought in. '
Richmond, June 13.?Official dis-i
patch from Gen, S. I). Lee, say that
the battle on Tishomingo oreek was oho
of the-most signal victories of the war.
Besides the wagon trains and twelve*
pieces of artillery captured, the route
of the enemy was complete.
Forrest was in close and vigorous
pursuit.

Atlanta, June 13.?Advices from

the roads almost impassable, and suspending
all movements of both armies.
Neither has fired a gun for two,days.?
The Yankee trains are running to Ackivo'rth
to-day. Indications, of a new
lank movement on the part of the eneny
has, transpired. Our. lines are'
strong and the troops haye recovered
iVom the recent fatigtfe.

ihots were fired' at the pity on Friday. , A
iohoonpr, with her fiag at half mast, sailed '
d, apparently from (he South, on Friday,
ind coramuoioated with the fleet.
An attentive correspondent at Secessionfille
has furnished us with an acconnt of'
ho furious bombardment' .to whioh that
place was subjected ou the 7th and 8th initants.
He stfys: ?
On the 7th instant the enemy hurled afc
Dur works from their gunboats, their bat- '
Series on Light HouseInlet and from their
Long Island battery, one hundred and ninety
shell and bolts. On the 8th, from the
tame points, they fired two hundred and
3fteon projectiles. Fortunately no person
was hurt. The demolition of cabins, sban:ees
and ether snug little appointments,
characteristic of a stationary camp, was extensive.
l'wo shells perforated Capfc.' Oulbreath's
quarters. The houses of other officers
sustained more or less injury. It is
needless to say that daring this hail of shell
aur batteries wfcre nqt idle, and our pieces
were fought gallantly and efficiently by their
detachmonts. -The enemy's battery on Long
[aland is hushed to day (June 9)?prcbabably
repairing the ' works. According to ;
private memoranda the enemy, aince'tbeBrst
of ?ebru;jry last, have thrown at'Sesessionville
over one thousand ebell and
solid shot, ranging from 100 pounder down
:o 12 pouhder Parrots. These facts, I think,
least worth mention.
