There has been quite an eioiting time among the news-mongers sinoe onr last issue, as our oolumns to day will explain.'? A portion of Lee's army has been sent to "dritfl a prey without the pale, in the enemy's country," and returned well laden iih hootv. It ia presumed the movement <tf (Jen. Barly vu not merely a raid for such a purpose, as it would evidence someon oar part, though we by no means condemn their levies, far from it; we rather believe the diversion was for j>tfcer purposes, whioh seems likely to be *6eeted, the withdrawal of Grant from Petersburg, and the cutting off the vast sooxeemf supplies, which is legitimate war fats. From present appswances, Grant's campaign is about to terminate iike those of has predecessors, and he may now cmplop himself in digging around Richmond, if allowed so to do. Everything looks - bright for the Confederacy in this quarter, while the-Yankees are comforting themsuites with the destruction of the terrible Alabama, no wantonly risked with superiority of men, metal and tptrtiage by her brave and impetuous commander. Let them shout, for well they may, but ere long the gallant Semmes will be again afloat,'and asother volume commenced which will add materially to the interest of the preceding one. Gea.

Brown in the field with the entire State foroe. Anything like a general engagement will result sacceaesfally to ns, as Gen. Johnson knows which is best, and oar soldiers are in the best of heal th and spirit^ eager for the fray. This is now the ipeeiai point of interest. In the'trana-Miseissippidepartment, every thing has been carried on idvaptageouBlj, while on thin aide the Yankees have disoomfitted in almost every quarter. Wirt Adams, and hfs cavalry have done great servioe, while Forrest, Morgan, Wheeler, &c. are flitting about in every quarter where their services are needed, and invariably crowded with success. The Yankees have been driven from the John and James Islands, near Charleston, - ' ' ' 4- j " but it u ropposed they will shortly make another attack to the same end but in a different quarter. .

Dix, of New York, having forcibly suppressed several newspaper^published in that city, a prosecution was oommenoed against him by the District Attorney, but as be bad acted under the orders of Lin - - J coin, the warrant lsiuea lor ms mem was resisted; the (Governor then ordered out the Reserve force to sustain the civil authorities, tad so the matter stood at oar last aocounte. The Governor will doubtless btefc downt bat this affair will show the divisions at the North that will continne to arise at evety little- opportunity. HoWthe movement into Maryland, and the demonstration on Washington may effect these dissensions, or the operations of the Peace party remains to be seen, bat we believe the repeal of the commutation aot, and the call for -'more troops" now made, will have more weight on the 'public mind/ than all the exordiums of their press - to tarn oat and rape! invasion. Disaffection will still grow fat on the .knMlan/u If Viq? fn foAil ah nnfi an the fall auuuvauuv ?? uw w w**j .r. elections approach, the North will find it has as much as it can well attend to at home, especially if tfaey continue as umuoccessfal in their efforts at Southern subjugation, as they have been the past six months.

A continual roar of cannon is still heard on James Island.

Mr. Editor .-?Through your paper, we would gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a large, and well filled basket of provisions from Mr. J. Leander Adams ppd Miss Sue Watson, of Bethel, consisting of ham, bread, oafeea, pies, &a, which was shared I by at least 40 hungry wounded soldiers. I It may be proper to state that through (be liberality of the generous President of the K. M. R. R., a committee of 9 including 3 servants, is allowed to go down each day with supplies for our wounded soldiers, and, that the ladies of Yorkville have arranged themselves into oommittees for this purpose. A large number of our gallant wounded passed, almost every day, until our lines of oommunioation with Richmond, were broken by the Yankee raids. Doubtless, as soon as the roads are repaired, the trains will again be orowded, every day. When it is remembered that these men ?**-1- I? from tbe diiicrenc nospuais, m xvwuwuuu and Petersburg, on their way to their homes, in the distant Sooth, receive no refreshment ezoept what may be given tothcm or bought by.them,,it most appear a noble charity to sttoply Itbem.

Any provisions of this kind will be gladly received and faithfully appropriated by any of tbe ladies: or, if left with CqI.

It says that the terrible paoio which has seised upon the people of the border counties of Maryland and.Pennsylvania, appears to have rendered them incapably of giving any clear aooount of what is transpiring around them. The rebels have withdrawn from Harper's Ferry, fygerstown,.Md., and Q-reencastie, Pa. They tore up fally ten miles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Governor*' Gurtin. telegraphs to the Mayor of Philadelphia that the people are not responding freely, and says the authorities at Washington authorize them to be mustered in by companies, which they y&sterday refused peremptorily to do. .
