As. we predioted, when endorsing the fiat anaaunoeaent of this gentleman for tim position of Seoretary of the Treasury, his acceptance has been received by the press of the entire Confederacy with therooet flattering testimonials. Called away at bat *fcoit>QO&? from bin private and more ge-. nisi pursuits, to don. the robes of high and responsible official position, we still find him equal to the emergenoy, and with his ipoustbmed business tact proceeding at once to a discharge of bis duties. We hruat not expeot too much from our new Secretary, fpr he can do little within himself without the support of Congress j. tie has the confidence of the people, and should receive their encouragement; he has not sought the office, hut it him, therefore we oan only took for an able, determined and conscientious discharge of his dories. We lopk confidentially to a suooeasful issue, though he has a herculean task before him. THE HEWS. Bo far as received from Virginia, np to ^Tueedaynoon, the state of affairs remain in arjneapure unohanged for the past week.? We learn;that Grant is being reinforced, sod we are led to believe that for the present be will or mnst be satisfied to retain his preeent.position> for tjiere is little likelihood . ofhis ability to domore. Onr troops have returned from' Maryland well laden with ^spoils," notbeing "able to accomplish whit Was evidently the principle feature of their programme, the release of onr men at Point ' Lockout, a well laid scheme, that was frustrated through rile leakiness of officials, who We Have reason to fear are in the pay of the Yankees, and tho disposition of the over- , sealouB-topublish- the greatest anticipations of success in any "grand movement," which U to be, made. At any rate, the Yankees "smelt a mice," and every steamer from Maine to Baltimore was pressed in to transfer tbs prisoners from Lookout to Elmira, New York, where thoy now are. Oar "raid" has not affected the "peaoe party," nor has ; it added to the Yankee strength, though Lincoln has called for another 500,000 ! 'men, with his uauaLpeospect-*-tbe increase of the opposition. ' His difficulty with the . Governor of New York ip still unsettled? < the North-West are sadly demoralized, and i the politie&l cauldron is boiling over with, i to himfiunacaerable evils, by which wc may i yet profit From Georgia, we have highiy interest?bm ?ia?m a/ /Ian TTaa^U AitAMfiAna TTa I *U? u^vtd, y*. youi xxwvu o v^vimuyuo* -?-*v has, so far, beea successful, and with" the aid of Wheeler, and His cavalry, given Shermarra touch of his quality. The removal of General Johnston has been a "seven ] day's wonder," but the army have become satisfied of its necessity, while toe press, who are ever ready ' to find fault with President Davis, are "still harping." To this pointthe'pablic interest is specially directad, as the duration of the war in a great measure deponds on our snooess in that < quarter. The Yankees know this well, and .1 are preparing themselves for what may occur; they have been sadly used up in the trans-Miasiasipi department, in so far, that their "big dog," Banks, has publicly declared that "the settlement of the dispute now deluging theHand with blood, must be looked for from the moral, and not from the military power of the country." However, this may be, our "military" have tanght Banks reason, and it is in this school the entire army of vandals must be taught, and ^ tbe lesson written in blood, to make the impression the more* lasting. The1 lighting is still going on around Atlanta, and in proportion as the struggle has been iierce will be the losses on both sides?we may meet some reverses, but must eventually capture or drive the invaders back, when it is thought he may meet with difficulties he never dreamed of encountering on his triumphant march into Georgia. In the upper, or mountain counties of North Carolina, the Tories, deserters and Yankees jure still, committing depredations, and in this they seem encoaraged by. a Hol den, or unconditional peace party that has sprung up in that State?thisBtate of things wilVj>robabIy continue untif after the Gover-' Boris election, as it is doubtless a part of * the tactics of the Holdenites. The -Yankee# near Charleston continue to fire away at Fort Sumter, and surrounding fortifications, though, not the City, the past week; they have been bosily engaged ; in repairing some-of their damaged guns, ! and replacing their works, muoh'injured by ' the recent high tides. We will doubtless i hearAom Gen. Foster soon, on another'of hir grand attacks, so Boon as his supply of negro troops are renewed or beoome trouble-, some; .be is well acquainted with the harbor, and thus much is expeoted of him, especially as he has been most shamefully defeated* heretofore. It is a great contraot' that, to deliver shot and shell at Fort Sumter ; at one time it would be considered a fat one by Yankee contractors; in this instance it may.be a losing one unless they be | allowed to take the iron for pay (instead of | greenbacks) after the war, forwhioh we have no doubt many of them are now preparing "proposals " *. Our prospeots are decidedly good. NOBTH CABOLINA. , ? ? ' ' ! a. a _ . On Thursday next, oeing me nrst id aagust,, the State elections are to come off, and notwithstanding the clangor of arms around themy oar friends of the "Old North State," are "pitching in" to an exciting struggle. It is enongh to excite, the true patriot, to find a party in the Sooth willing to throw their State baok in the unhallowed arms of a rotten and corrupt "Union," but surely suoh a party can be but an insignifioant portion of that State, whose brave soldiers have illustrated har title to the "oradie of independence" so nobly in every field, since the signal gun of Moultrie oalled the South to arms. It was once the boast of England, that there was. never an Irishman to be roasted, but. one woul^be found to torn the spit?it oert&inly does not remain for North Carolina to he the fint to raise the parraeidal hand against our young Confederacy. We know that there are no lack of little politicians in that State, bnt we also know that t|)e principal element is a noble one, one that diotates the highest, sense of honor and love of liberty, if not the more sensual one of private interest. The North would not reoeive her except on* the most revolting terms, the South would: not allow her to pass away peaceably, thus the theatre of war would be transferred from all quarters to North Carolina, as a common centre. But we have no donbt of the election of Gov. Vanoe, and thus the triumph of the true "peace with independence" policy, but from the large number of candidates for Representatives we see announced in eaoh paper, we fear the tories will slip in some of their "rag-tag and bob-tail," who will be at once an annoyance to their Legislature, and ^disgrace to the State.? On the army vote, whioh is to be .taken to day,' much of the fature oharaoter of our sister State depends. . ??iw ?S.rFBOM SULLIVAN'S ISLAND. ! Mr. Editor:?Since my last, more definitqaocopnts have been received from James and John's Islands. On James IsIao4 the enemy was met at every point and driven book with heavy loss, and lorped to tall bapk to bis gunboats. John's Island was attacked by a strong foroe, bat after a stubborn resistance, they evacuated the same on Sunday last, and in the afternoon, vessels were anchored South of Morris Island.? About five o'dook, p. m.,we were called to our guns, a rapid oannonaffpg onmmqnifrf on Morris Island from our batteries. JSooe shells were returned to ub, but without damage. Shortly before sunset oar batteries ceased. Having taken ev$per,?we went to our guns, as was customary each night, to be in readiness for a snrprise. On arriving at our post, a rapid firing of musketry and cannon was heard at shell point battery, the barges anchored South of -Morris Island, had moved up and commenced landing? Grace and canister, from our batteries, were rained upon them, nod the guns at Shell Point giving a bountiful Supply, the enemy finding the place very unwholiome, retired in quiok time with their barges, baok to safe quarters, resting satisfied that the road to Charleston, by the vay of James Island, is a hard and dangerous one to travel, the en* gagement lasted about half an hour. In a short time afterwards, it wawsaid we had taken over two hundred .prisoners, all was quiet the balance of the night. On Monday night, all hands were summoned to the j rl it.-' i v - y?4. . guns, dj me uriDg 01 musketry. ji was Bapposed a landing was. attempted on thiB Island, but wo soon learned that a vessel laden with oottoo, going out, ran aground, and throwing off the bales they were taken for barges, and fired on, the cotton drifted ashore and was secured by the soldiers, the vessel returned in safety. On Thursday night, companies B and D, of 'the 1st BegS. C. A. arrived at their quarters in good' health and elated spirits, having just returned from an expedition, in which they carried: away a bountiful-share of the laurels of" the battle field. They have won laurels that irill be enduring and passed to future history. During the ooutest with the enemy, the guns on one of our batteries was dismounted, atfd the works very much injured by the enemy's shot and shell. In this oritical crisis, oompanies "B and D moved promptly forward, amidst the fire of. the enemy, repaired the works and mounted, the guns again, and turned them loose on the-enemy from the front Our Joes was small, two killed and three wounded. The Bombardment of Sumter continues with unabated fury, every day, no perceprible damage done. The batteries at this place, gave the Yankees a good share of shell to-day, and as they fell in the mid6t of the batteriesjthere, we judge there has been somebody hurt. A prisoner states that a f : K ' ' short time sincS, whilo dor batteries were firing on Morris Island, four of their men were killed by the first shell thrown. There has been no one killed here yet, by the shells of the enemy. All things are in readiness here, should the enemy oall this way, the bill of fare they will learn when they arrive, and can judge oft he properties thereof. . With my best wishes for, the welfare of the people of your town and district, I come to a olose, hoping *yon shall hear from me again. Most respeotfhlly yonrs, .

He was a printer by trade. ? A negro committed violence upon a young lady in the neighborhood of Carter's Depot, Tenn., a few days ago, and being; brqoght by some soldiers before her for identification, she seiezed a gun and blew half hiB head off, ? A correspondent, writing to the Mobile I Register, says: "I have passed through the biggest oorn field to day I ever saw. It. stretohes from Demopolis to Selma, and for miles it really does seem to be one vast cornfield. There is yet an abundanoe of old oorn all through the oountry, and I doubt if it can all be gotten away in time to make room for the new orop," ? It is said that the tobaooo issued to the soldiers of Gen. Johnston's army is miserable. This is too bad. They are entitled to the best. Let them have their quid pro quo. ? Eighteen flat oars loaded vgth artillery and wagons, captured by Forrest, arrived at Meredian, Miss., on Thursday last. ?The funeral of Gen Polk will not take plaoe in Augusta, as heretofore announced, but in Raliegh, the family haying telegraphed for his remains to be forwarded to the ; latter oity. ?An abolition editor asks if we acknowledge that negroes have souls to be saved. We acknowledge that he has one or half a one to be damned. ? Our army brought south of the Potc^ mac five thousand horsesj and twenty-five hundred splendid beef cattle; besides, our cavalry and artillery are all supplied with new and valuable horses,, Onr men are all in great spirits, and charmed with the success of their expedition.

Messrs Editors : Now that the time is approaching, when oar people will be called apon to choose their Representatives to serve them in the State .Legislature, and bat three gentlemen - having been nominated so far for the lower House, the friends cf Col. Joel W. Rawlinson beg leave to announce him as a candidate, if he will consent to serve. Col. Rawlinson has already served one term to the general satisfaction, as his votes on all questions were given with prudence and decision, showing a cool and^oaloulating mind. l|e is from physical debility unable to undergo the duties of the soldier, but is represented in the army by his eldest son, scarce eighteen years of age.. He is a large and successful Planter, and since the commencement of the war, as before it, he has always given of his abundance to the pibor and needy?of ! bifi surplus he has never taken advantage of the necessities of the public, but sold at the lowest figures, often inconveniencing himself to serve the soldier's families. Suoh men are worthy of,' support for an office, which it is true is no sineoure at this time; but as we want practical men, those who know and will do their duty to the people in these troublous times, the friends of Ool. Eawlinson flatter themselves his olaims will compare favorably with those of any other citizen of the District, and would this urge his acceptance of a nomination, with an a* biding trust it will he endorsed by a gener#opconstituency. r - ' - MANY VOTERS.

MoELWEE, Jr. July 25th, 1864. For Uio Yorkvlllc Enquirer. "* Dear Enquirer:?Should you deem the following letter of sufficient" interest for your columns, it may, perhaps, afford your readers some recreation, as furnishing a brief household diary, in connection with the history of the times. B. Dear B Idwve been thinking of writing you for panzer time, bat my health has been bacT. p" is now better and I hope I shall soon be all right again. A. has* just left as for the army. How time and all things have changed; But it does no good to mnrmnr or complain. I try to take the world easy. - We have 'much to annoy and perplex', and, at the same time, mnoh to amuse. I will say nothing of the troubles, bnt confine myself to that which amnses and drives away trouble. I know of nothing better to oommenoe with^ than a sort' of diary at home, or of what is daily transpi ring. Jule, this morning While dressing for ohnroh, bawled to her mother, "What must I wear to church V. "Put on yonr Paradi and Garabaldi." Now I expected to Bee the ohild dressed in an inoh of her life, when she flhme down, stairs. What do yon think she had on ? One of her grand Ufa's old silk dresses cnt and trimmed.' The high prices of everything, not only prevents as from getting ipany of the necessaries of life -but prevents us from enjoying many that we have. For instance,- at breakfast. We sit down?the first thing. . "Now ohildren you must not cat that butter, you are all dyspeptic, and I have always'heard that butter was the wont thing a dyspeptic could eat, besides, butter is throb dollars-a pound and it wont do to waste it." Breakfast over, the cook comes: "Miss Jane, muss I kill a chioken for dinner T" No, I have got nothing but pullets, and I want all the eggs I can get. Eggs are two dollars a deeen. I want p sell eggs dnough to pay Bet's subscription to the Church. It is true, she is not here in the flesh, but I hope she is in the spirit, and Ithink her sub^piptiou ought to be-paid. New, whenever my flesh and spirit gets separated as far as this and Texas, 1 want all subscriptions to Churches stopped, at least as far as the spirit is conconcerned. Night comes on, the first sound you hear is, "Blow out one of those candles. . We can't afford to burn two, when they are Belling at four dollars a pound."? Bod time comes on: '"Children take that short piece of candle and go to bed. Blow it out as soon as you get to your room. Day after to-morrow ^he moon ohanges, tbeuyou oan go to bed by moonshine." Now you see how irregular our hours for retiring must be. The first few nights after the change, we must be in bed by dark, or we miss the moon. After the full, we have to sit up about an hour later every night, waiting for ber to rise. I never did believe in going by the jnoon, in planting Beeds, or making soap, nor anything else. But I have .less use for her in going to bed than anything else. I have always thought any body was a. fool, who wetft by the moon, and any one attempting to regulate their hours for' going to bed by her, will come to4he same j conclusion. TCe moon will Do down soon, so 1 must close and prepare for .feed. Yours truly, A. C. P. 8.?One thing I? forgot, you' know Jole is now taking music lessons. 'Her mother thinka ber progress wonderful. Of oourae, lam no judge, bat I can tell what I barn seen and heard:- In the first pi&oe, I have heard no tone that I could redogniee. Jole takesfher seat at the piano and commences as if she was trying to knoQk all the keys out.of the instrument at one lick., I ask, what tune is that ? "Oh I that is no tune. She is running the scales." That oyer, she commences again; not quite so severe. What tune is that? ''That's no tune; why I thonght^you were a better jndge of mumo, that is a sort of "prelude, which all beginners most learn, before they can make accomplished performers. Did you never notice Bet and Fanny, they al- . ways commence .with a prelude." If you will notice,^ou will see Jule has an elegant tonch, and I think will make a splendid performer. Now if there is anything in touching, I think myself, she will succeed, for she can oomd as near touching the old piano all over at one lick, as any one I ever saw sit dgwp at the instrument.

Hunter whipped Jones and Imbodcn, below Staunton, v and, in a few days, were joined by Crook a and Averill, at Staunton, with about 12,000 * troops, who oamo on by Lewisbnrg, in 5 Greenbrier Connty. Wo have had no forces since Breolinridgo left the Valley, to ? oppose them, except one Brigade of Caval- 1 ry, under Gen, MoCansland, abont 1500 strong. MoCansland is skirmishing with | them all the time. They arrived at Lex- j ington, on Saturday. They had a right i brisk combat for two hours, down at the 1 river, when our troops burnt the bridge, and retarded their progress until they conld ^ make good their retreat. They staid at ] Lexington, encamping all aronnd and i through town, from Saturday, 11th, until ^ Tuesday. They destroyed the Institute, Pro- ' feasor's houses and Mess Hall. They burnt two mills, one store and one dwelling, down ; ou the river. They bnrnt Gov. Letoher's < house?only giving his wife and ohildren 5 ' minutes to make their esoape. They robbed ' the people generally, of* everything they ( could lay their hands on. Their wagon 1 train, consisting of 3 or 400 wagons, oamped < on the back part of my premises, where I had a beautiful meadow of olover and tim- . othy. Thoy did not leave me scarcely a ; spl&r of grass or a vestige of fence, the plank and posts they took to make camp fires. Thoy did not get my horses?I hid them away in the mountains, on the head of . Carres Creek. Our negroes would not go with them?they foroed off my man, when they left, but during the course of the day, ho made his.esoape and oame back. When they were leaving, they ordered my carriage < and harness, and took away two negroes in 1 the carriage. My wife behaved, among ' those men possessed with devils, with great , courage and oooluess, she went among them j and asserted and maintained her rights.-^-' t They generally o&lled her the d?n. rebel 1 woman in white. Some said she- was the | bravest woman they ever saw. From here { they went to Lynchburg, and expected to j get the place.without a fight, bat lo! Gen. Early, with Swell's corps, and Gen. Breok- 1 inridge was there, when hearing of whioh, ( they decamped in the night and betook ; themselves to a disastrous retreat. About I a week ago, Early and Breokinridge passed ' through here, on Iheir way down the valley. , In a few days, yon will bo apt to hear of , them in Maryland and Pennsylvania. My health is a wreck. I have not preaobed for two months, and have no prospect of -being able to preach soon.

An official despatch received Wednesday afternoon at the War Department, -states that a largo force of Yankees crossed the Shenandoah river at Bnidker's, on the 18th, it 3 o'clock, p. m. They vere attacked and driven across the river in confusion. Oar loss is stated to be between tiro end three hundred?that of the enemy much greater. In connection with this news, we< get the following from the Dispatch ': Snicker's Ferry, where the Yankee forces crossed the Shenandoah, is in 'Frederick county, 166 miles from Richmond: Snioksreville, which, from a similarity of name, may be supposed to have been the soene of the fight, is in tho western part of Londono county, and advantageously situated at the base of the Blae Ridge Mountain. A good turnpike from Winchester to Alexandria passes through it, and intersects at the former place with one from Washington to Winchester, which passes through Leesburg. It fraa by one of thesp roads, doubt less, that the enemy expected to advance and strike our forces in their roar, bat the movement was happily anticipated.
