Qn the night of the 8th instant, there van some firing on Sumter, a steady fife Whs kept up between the batteries of this Island and James and Morris Islands, no casualties . %. reported here. On the 9th, the firing on Sumter oeased, from some cause, it is said I that a large number of Yankee prisoners were placed in the fort, in retaliation for the six hundred of our prisoners on Morris Is* land, exposed to the fire of our guns. I have sot seen any statement confirming the report of prisoners in Samter. Calcium lights have been kept ap on the fleet and Morris Island, for the past week, every night. On Friday night there was a considerable number of barges moving from Morris Island to the West side, an attack was expeeted on Samter, and all hands were called out and held in readiness st the cannon and parapets, awaiting the approach of the enemy; the night passed off quietly, without an attack, very few shots have been fired on Samter tap to the present time? an occasional shell is thrown here. On Monday morning, Lieut. Bhett, of the 1st Iufkntry, was wounded by a shell passing through his quarters. On yesterday morning there was some firiDg between the ves sals of the enemy and battery Marshal, this battery is situated on the Northern extremity of this Island, it appears the enemy had the night before, been makiDg a reconnois?" T A IWWW Uil iJUUg JLOiAUUj auu |/ooo*u^ MHVAJ some firing took place, this morning there was a heavy fire between battery Marshal and four vessels. It lasted about two boors " when the vessels drew off and went Sooth. * . - 1 - a There is a rumor that the enemy had landed troops on Long Island, or Home Island, they are near each other. In a short time more correot information will, doubtless, be received. The health of this place is good this time. The fall of Atlanta and the result of the jry>'A_ ? r ' * armistice is creating a considerable degree of anxiety, and is the theme of varied opinions and prophecies. It is a groat source of rejoicing in the Northern States. The fall of Atlanta is looked upon as one of the finishing strokes of crushing out the rebellion, and with Lee's army broken np, the I enemy would think his work of subjugation completed. The spirit of the South is still buoyant, and there is much work yet to be done before the vandal hordes shall be able - to tread, with impunity, the extensive soil of the South. We may yet meet many dis* asters, but justice will finally triumph.? Let us look on the bright side of the pi?ture as well as the dark, the future will be revealed in doe time. Youre truly, DARBY. X^TKlWESi* ? The term of service of 60,000 soldiers .of the Yankee army expired in August; the terma ef 78,000 expire in the present month; 64^000 in Ootober; in November, i 58,000, and in December 51,UUU, making 311,000 whose term will have expired between the 1st of August and the last of December. ? Never be ashamed of confessing your ignorapoe, for the wisest man upon earth is ignorant of many things, inasmuch that what he knows is.a mere nothing in comparison with what he does not know. There .. cannot be a greater folly than to suppose that we know everything. ? The .Richmond Dispatch says, there are 114,000 persons exempted as agriculturists, within the ooasoript age), and 32,000 State officers?an army sufficient to plant the Southern cross on the spires of Philadelphia. ? The Richmond Ssytinel has accounts of recruits to our army pouring in from beyond the lines, which are very cheering, bnt the detaila of which it would not be prudent to publish. We extend to these brave rl. lies a hearty welcome, and accord to them heir merited praise. " ' ' ' V ' , , r ?The printers of Netf Jersey boa^st that there is not a single printer in the State prison of the State, and bat one in the Legislature. ? The Herald says James Buchanan has volunteered to do military duty for one hundred days, and is now at oamp Cadwallor, Pennsylvania. Vice-President Hamlin is also doing service in.Maine.' * ? The Hon. Jesse D. Bright, expelled Senator from Indiana, has sold his Kentucky possessions, freed his negroes, given, (hem eaoh sufficient sum of money to commence the world with, and has, with his family, gone to Europe, there to remain until after the w%r. ? The Boston Courier says that thirty-seven dollars in gold will buy a Federal bond I r>f nnA hnndred dollars on State street in that city, while it takea^eventy-five dollars in gold toltay a Confederate bond of the same amount in London. . . ?Of the nearly forty thousand Yankee prisoners confined at Andersonville, there are not exceeding fifteen thousand whose term of service has not expired. That is a correct solution of all the points involved in the question of exchange. ? The Fayettville Observer learns that in the county of Montgomery 85 deserters had reported up to Monday, 12th inst. who will return to the post of duty in the army of Virginia. ? A lady in Berkshire, Mass., was delivered of her twenty-first ohild last week. Her husband is as well as can be expeeted. ? All of the prisoners captured by Sherman are at the Yankee prison, Camp Morton, near Evansville, Indiana. ? As soon as a young fellow begins to make rhymes, he gets the typus fever and burns to see himself in print For the YorkvUle Enquirer. Richmosd, Va., Sept. 3d, 1864. Gentlemen .?An excerpt from the Enquiher, of the 17th ultimo, containing theA ! announcement of myself and others as "suitable candidates for the House of Representatives," has just reached me. . After extending to my friends of "Bullook's Qreek" my thanks for this' evidence of their kind appreciation, permit me, at once, to decline the nomination. At this hour, the service of every man is [ due, without reference to his interest cr personal preferences, wherever it may be most | valuable to the country." In view of this paramount duty, I oan ha^> no hesitation in determining to remain in the army until # the war is ended. I am gratified to know that my sense of duty may be indulged, without disregarding the interests of the people at home. Amongst the names presented in the Enquirer, there are those of tried pnblio servants, who are folly competent, who have the leisure, and, I trust, the inolination, to serve in the State Council. If the people are fully aware of the very grave responsibilities, which must, within the ensuing session, devolve upon the Legislature, our District will be well represented. Again tendering my cordial acknowledgments for the compliment of this nomination, I am, gentlemen, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, SAM'L W. MELTON. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. MULhaji Anil JXLVJUADOXJO. Messrs. Editors: Inasmuoh as many persons in our Confederacy are interested in, the production of sugar and molasses from the Chinese Sugar Cane, or Sorghum, I do hereby contribute to this end, in so far as my experience and information extends. ' { The Ohio JCultivator says : "frost does not injure the eane juice, or the sugar made from it; but does aid in its clarification." * * * * "warm weath er after hard freezes redaoes both quantity and quality of jnioe." And it reoommends that "the cape be worked up as soon as ripe," as the best economy : and that "the best time for making sugar is "when the most, if not all the seeds are ripe, and after several frosts/' It is also held that "if the cane is cut and housed, or shocked in the field" at this phase of its growth, "it will probably keep good for a long time.* It is found that at the exprenion of the juice, the bi-sulphate of lime should be added as it flows from the mill in order perfectly to clarify it. The higher the gravity of the juice the less quantity of the bi-sulphate of lime is required for a good clarification ; say, about one quart to one hundred gallons of juice on an average, and about the same quantity of the milk of lime is to be used along with the bi-sulphate. After the expression of' any given quantity of juice, and the addition of the lime, stir it thoroughly, and let it settle a few minutes, tfcon din nr a erlaafl full and observe the "*w- ?r -r - o p? color. If'the green oolor of the juice is . changed to dirty grey, with only a tinge of green, it is limed enough; if however, it be deoidedlygeen, more lime, must be added, stirred and allowed to settlo. Now draw off the clear juioe into a olarifier or "boiler. This jtico should now be brought to about milk-warm, (60? to 65? Fahrcu.) and some milk of lime added if , needed, and the whole stirred, and well skimmed from time to timo. After the juice is woli clarified, concentrate the syrup by hasty evaporation. If molasses only is I wanted, the boiling must be stopped when I the. syrup is enough concentrated to pltose [the operator's fancy. If sugar is wanted, the boiling must be eautiously continued until the syrup is thick and of a waxy consistency. To prevent boiling over, air well with dips of vessels and poncing it from oh hieh, or better still, throw a lamp of batter into^he boiler. When the boiling, is finished, if it be for sugar, ladle oat the syrup into wooden oeolers, and set them in a warm room to granulate. After granulation, the whole should be put into deep barrels with holes in their bottoms as drainers, and placed in a warm room to drain off the molasses. The lower joints of the pane only will .afford juice rich enough for sugar making at early cutting, but if the cane has been out after a frost, and hot ground for several days afterward, 'all parts of the stalks become nearly alike. The vessels for contain* ing the cane juice should be well washed every day with common lime-water. The bi-sulphate of lime is prepared .by sugar manufacturers, but the milk of lime j is used by them as a substitute for it?r Tfais consists of one quart of fresh lime made into a batter-like consistency With water, and tbis will do for two hundred gallons of juioe as it. flows from the mill. By means of Jime a clarification is had, the aoid is neutralized, the peculiar unpleasant teste of the molasses is removed, and its power to blaoken the teeth of the consumer in Tn nn rua iflav the iuice be *u uv ,v;? ? ? ? --- . allowed to ran into fermentation unless vinegar is wanted. In my operations in ma* king molasses for three yea re, I used well burnt limestone slaked with cold water, and brought to the consistency ef thin batter; (his I used in the proportion of one quart to the hundred gallons of juice. The sugar makers use oast-iron boilers for evaporation of *the cane juics, in oar domestic operations a preference is given by some persons to wooden boilers with tin bottoms. I would jndge that in the small way of making molasses or sugar, a wooden boiler with wooden bottoms, overlaid With sheet iron next to the fire, the better plan, provided the wood be snoh as to give ont nothing to be imparted to thp taste of the syrup; but iron pots and kettles do well enongh, provided all residue be carefully cleaned off at every boiling. To olean Iron kettles, grtaze well after the syrap is taken out, then wash all off with water. ' -E. A. CRENSHAW. September 21, 1864. From Georgia. Macon, Sept. 14.?The first train of Atlanta exiles arrived this morning. They were stripped by the Yankees of everything except one oh&nge of olothing, and are in a deplorable oondition. The impression that the campaign in Georgia is over for this year is fast gaining ground. Sherman will reinforce Grant and J try to hold Atlanta with a small force, bat no farthe advance is anticipated. ? - % W W !iL t - Last night a train loaaea wun pnauuern ran off the track at Camp Creek otr the \ Southwestern Railroad. Eight oars were smashed ap and a large namber of Yankees I killed and wounded. Maoon, Sept. 16?Exiles from Atlanta, report that Sherman's army is being rapidly depleted by men whose teirm of service has expired going home. Some statements plaoe the number already gone at 10,000. Yesterday was universally observed throughout the State, as a day of fasting and prayer, by the army and by the people. The Chattanooga Gazette, of the 13th, says that Wheeler has been driven from Middle Tennessee by Steadman. Morgaif s staff has arrived at Chattanooga. Sherman has issaed a congratulatory address to his Army, saying that they had completed a great eamp&ign, and that -the fall of Atlanta must be attribtted to a mistake in Hood sending his cavalry to the rear.? We most concede, he pays, to oar enemy, that he met as patiently and skillfully, bat &t last he made the mistake we had waited so long for, and sent hi* pavalry to oar rear, far beyond the reaoh of recall. Instantly oar eav&lry was on his only remaining road and we followed qaiokly with the main army and Atlanta fell into oar possession. [second dispatch.] Macon, Sept. 18.?It is reported, with a considerable show of tratb, that Sherman has sent an informal request for Governor Brown, Vice-President Stephens, and Sen* ator H. V. Johnson, to meet him in Atlanta and have a talk aboat peace. Brig. Gen. F. A. Shoap nas been relieved of daty as Chieff of Staff to Gen. Hood, The exiles from Atlanta still oontinoe to come into oar lines. Several handred families have arrived in the most destitute condition imaginable. Gens. Hood and Sherman have agreed upon a specipl exohange of two thousand prisoners. Several hundred of the number will be sent forward to night for that purpose. Mosby Gains Another Victory.? Passengers to Lynchhurg by the Orange " **" ?. nt-.i road THursaay nignc, report toat luosoy uaa a heaVy fight with, a greatly superior foroe of Yankees,' on Monday the 12th, near Uppervillo, in Fauqnier oounty. Though outnumbered three to one, Mosby and his gallant men gave the enemy a bloody drobbing, killing 30, who were left on the field, wounding a large number and capturing .eighty prisoners?among them several oflloers. f i Mosby lost eight men killed and about twenty wounded, some of them dangerously. No further details were known to the iirformant of the Lynehbuig Republican, though the fight is said to have been the hardest and most stubbornly contested ono in whioh the gallant partizan chief has yet been eq' gaged. No further news of interest was reoeived from General Early's commandi, Richmond Sentinel '* " J-'A1. ' , 1 ? [ Hampton at Work. Petersburg, Sept. 17.?Hampton's earairy made a most snocessfal dash into the enemy's lines on Thursday, near Sycamore Church in Pfifioe George county, 17 miles from the aity, capturing 2,500 head of fat beef catllh, $00 prisoners, a number of horses, and 10 wagons. The spoilt are now safe in the Confederate lines. ;' Gregg's Division of Yankee cavalry made an effort to out off Hampton, bat was handsomely flogged for their pains. Hampton and hie men are in full feather and eager for another ohance at Grant's choice beef. >~* Richmond, Sept. 17.?The following was received here to day: Headquarters, Sept. 17, 1864. Bon. Secretary Seddon: At daylight yesterday the enemy's skirmish' line, west of the Jerusalem Plank Road, was driven back on the entrenchments along their whole extent. At the same hoar Hampton attacked his position nnrth (?f tJio WnvfiCfe.

Everything was brought off safely. Otr entire loss does not exceed fifty men. (Signed) R; E. LEE. * . " * From Mobile. Mobile, Sept 16.?A gunboat yesterday came close in sbose near the mouth of Log river. Our field battery opened, giving-her a few good shots. The boat then retired. < * r-" - i It is reported that the enemy have repaired the gunboat Gaines, and put her in commission. The Fish rim expedition returned badly peppered by our eavaby, Victory in Arkansas. ; Clinton, La., Sept 16.?Shelby's violory viti Arkansas is oomplete. Tha railroad was torn tip for several miles and one entireLregiment of Yankees captured. The army form has destroyed the entire cotton crops on the river from Vieksburg to New Orleans. The yellow fever is very violent at Key West and Torlugas. ^ Our Enemies.?-The indiscriminate application of the term Yankees to our enemies in the field, says the Richmond Dispatch, does not convey an accurate idea of the eleme^s of power whioh are oombined against us. Ip a mere war of sections^? that is, a war between the Yankees proper and % Southern States?not even Yankees themselves could have expeoted triumph. . But this is not snoh a war. It is a war between the Southern. Confederacy and the United States, the latter having all the wealth and all the military and civil organizations of the old Government on its side, with immense armies, composed of-all nations, and of which the Yankees proper constitute only a small proportion. Of its native troops, the brat are the mixed ritoea of the West, and renegade Kentuckians and Mi'ssburians. Even in* the navy, its mart successful officer is Farragut, a Tennessean. A luge number of its offioars, in both the land and sea service, are natives of Southern States. Nor is it accurate to designate all the people of the Middle States even as Yankees. It may suit the Yankees proper very well to have all their elenients of strength olassed ag Yankees, but it is not the truth. As a general thing, they hove staid at hqme during the war, making money out of battles 4vhich they, do not fight, and ^hining a great reputation far prowess besides, by . thn. designation of Yankee, whioh is uniformly applied to-United States armies. It may be convenient to give our enemies a name whioh condenses in one word all that is bateful; but the worst of them are the least injured by its application. We are helping Jonathan to go down to posterity as a great heroic character?^ He has had little to do with this war exoept hiring other men to fight his battles and obtain for him money ?nd reputation. * Important to Salt Purchasers ? We are authentically informed that there are no less than twenty three salt manufaoin fihurlwitnn and vininitv. within the oonsoript age, who are detailed'to make salt on the special conditions that they would sell the article to consumers at the works at nine dollars a bushel, or delivered at any of the railroad depots, in good shipping order, at twelve dollars. Now, the question arises with these twenty-three salt boilers, bound to these conditions, how is it that salt ia to day from twenty to twenty-five dollars per bushel in our market ? The question is ea? sily solved, bat we do hot propose to do it just now. . We would, however, say to pay farmqrs, planters and country consumers generally,.tbatiflibey clnb together for any p&rtioolar District, and appoint a responsible agent here, they cap,have their salt at the prices to whioh the salt boilere have bound themselves to supply, consumers, else the boiler refusing to'supply at these prices will not have his detail renewed. We may advert to this matter again, and famish the names of the salt boilers so detailed. Charleston Mercury, Xlth. LtjdiProus Sqabe in Memphis.?A despatoh from Memphis to the Chicago Tribune admits -the ludicrous scare the Yankees had from Forrest dashing into Memphis. It says: The scene on Tuesday morning was scarcely less terrible fchpn that of Monday. With no rebels within fifteen miles of us, tnousands of men, women end children, and, sad to say, officers, chaplains and soldiers, rushed to fhe fort,, and in many instances behaved with great oowardice. I .learn that General Forrest ha? sont in word to General Washborne that he regretted taking his clothes without his being in them, .and. that if he wonld send him grey cloth enough for a stfit, he would return the gen^ eral'a wardrobe. The General wplieA that if he would retnrn Lis clothes he would do so, if General ,"RWront wnnM AamemntG some safe nlao&for -y: iij^ uni tv*> the clothes to he deposited ; so l suppose our General will ^et his clothes.

This measure would secure to General Lee not less: than five thousand effective men, (cavalry and infantry,) and to General Hood probably ten thousand.? The cavalry has been much praised o? late. It is not generally known that all this splendid fighting has been dope by a few gallant and devoted men, (probably one-fifth of their commands,) who are always op band and ready for duty, while the number of shirkers, skulkers and stragglers, (mounted as well as dismounted,) is legion.
